Chapter 758 The Saint is Cruel and Merciless (Thirteen)

Ruan Xin has generous and decent manners, a gentle temper, and a gentle appearance. She is a rare beauty. Logically, Duan Jingwu should not be hostile to her, but he was hostile to her from the first time he saw Ruan Xin.

Ruan Xin lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "The soup in the kitchen should be ready. I will take my leave first."

The prince looked at her tenderly and lovingly, "Well, Xin'er, you've worked hard."

Ruan Xin blushed and shook her head, then slowly walked out and closed the door.

After Ruan Xin left, Duan Jingwu warned the prince: "She suddenly appeared and became your benefactor. She must have other intentions. Your Highness must be careful. How could she suddenly appear when you suddenly fell ill? Your Highness had better give her some silver and send her away." The prince frowned. Why was Duan Jingwu so hostile to Xin'er?

"She's just a poor soul, her parents both dead, who was adopted by an old doctor since she was little. She's a skilled doctor with a kind heart, and coming to treat me is simply a match made in heaven. Furthermore, even if she has ulterior motives, it's simply to make a living in this world. General Duan, please focus on the right path. Why target a woman?"

Is the prince saying that he has a petty mind?

Duan Jingwu was so angry that he wanted to curse the prince, but he couldn't.

He said respectfully, "Your Highness is right. I have overstepped my bounds."

After Duan Jingwu reported to him about the suppression of the rebellion, the prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, you have worked hard. I am sure you are exhausted from the journey. Go down and rest first. We will go to the south to suppress the rebellion in two days."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will take my leave."

As soon as the door opened, Duan Jingwu saw Ruan Xin coming over with a food box. Ruan Xin bowed slightly and said, "General."

Duan Jingwu ignored her and left.

Ruan Xin looked a little hurt, but she quickly adjusted her expression and walked into the room with a smile on her face.

The prince saw everything happening outside the door clearly. The beauty was treated coldly, so the prince, who was kind to women, naturally comforted her.

The next day, Ruan Xin bid farewell to the prince.

"Your Highness is no longer in danger, and it's time for me to leave."

The prince stood up in surprise, "Did someone say something to you?"

Ruan Xin shook her head and said that she was not suitable to stay here and she wanted to go and help the victims.

The prince was reluctant to let her go, but Ruan Xin was determined to leave, so she left the mansion anyway.

Duan Jingwu was quite surprised to hear that Ruan Xin had left. "This woman is quite sensible."

"General, the prince didn't die this time. Should we do it again?"

"Shut up! It's those daring officials who are taking revenge on the Crown Prince. What does it have to do with us? Back off."

The deputy general left the room, leaving Duan Jingwu alone in the room.

This time, he had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and when he returned to the capital, he would be able to give an explanation to the emperor.

As for the Crown Prince's illness, he would not be punished by the Emperor. His first priority was to quell the rebellion.

After the beauty left, the prince felt a little lost, so he had to divert his attention and thoroughly investigate the matter of his illness. He pulled out all the ministers who were behind the scenes. Unfortunately, some of them were too powerful for him to touch, and finally some scapegoats were beheaded.

Another month passed, and the prince was about to return to the court. However, the guards he secretly arranged to be by Ruan Xin's side came to ask for help, saying that Ruan Xin was in danger and a high-ranking official passing by wanted to rape her.

When the prince heard this, he picked up his sword and left the house, playing the role of a hero who saves a beauty. This time, he wanted to take Ruan Xin back to the East Palace.

Ruan Xin was unwilling, so the prince compromised and said he would recommend her to the Imperial Medical Service. This time Ruan Xin agreed.

Duan Jingwu saw Ruan Xin next to the prince again. He had sent people to investigate Ruan Xin and found no problem with her identity. This time, he defined Ruan Xin as a woman who wanted to get close to the prince. There were too many women like her and they were not worth his attention.

The Crown Prince and Duan Jingwu returned to the capital after providing disaster relief and quelling the rebellion, and Zhuang Xingwei also returned in triumph. The emperor decided to hold a grand banquet, and that night all officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital attended the banquet with their families.

However, a major case occurred at the banquet, making these ministers regret attending the banquet.
