"Aren't you just a village girl?" Suddenly, he glanced at Qi Jinghao, "Prince, you rushed into the city so hurriedly, couldn't it be for a rendezvous with her? She's a married woman, after all..."
Yang Ruxin's brow furrowed immediately.
Qi Jinghao's expression turned grim as well, but before he could speak, suddenly there was a gust of wind, followed by a slapping sound.
Peng Jing screamed in pain, staggering toward the ground, but thankfully a guard behind her managed to catch her, though half of her face was swollen.
Gu Qingheng was already kneeling on one knee: "Please, Prince, pardon my crime."
Qi Jinghao secretly let out a breath, then clenched and loosened his hand behind his back: "What crime has General Gu committed?"
"Although it was Consort Peng who spoke out first tarnishing the reputation of Madam Ruyi, it was wrong of me to strike the Consort," Gu Qingheng remained respectful, "Therefore, I request punishment from the Prince."
