An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 67 Hua Jing's Temptation

Before his hands reached the hem of the Prince's gown, the Prince quickly stepped aside. Wang Jinhuan flew through the air. He caught a pillar to keep himself from falling to the ground.

Wang Jinhuan turned to Prince Jing with teary eyes. "Why are you so cruel to me?"

Prince Jing ignored him and turned. He spoke to the person standing behind him. "My apologies, Lord Wu. Wang has lost his mind."

Upon hearing those words, Wang Jinhuan looked around the Prince and spotted a middle-aged man. Since Prince Jing had addressed him as Lord Wu, Wang wondered if he was a bachelor from the Imperial Hanlin Academy. Embarrassed, Wang Jinhuan wailed. He had intended to inform Prince Jing about Princess Yun Shang's troubles, but instead, he had just lost face in front of a high-ranked noble*. He turned towards Lord Wu and grinned before jumping on the roof and disappearing.

(*TN: to lose one's face is to suffer a loss of respect; to be humiliated.)

The bachelor was stunned and took a long time to recover.

Prince Jing smiled and said to him, "As for what you suggested earlier, I'll think it over."

Lord Wu nodded and smiled, "Now you are the only Prince who can stand up to them at the court. I really don't want this country to be destroyed by them. At the moment, however, you seem to have other things that need your attention. And so I'll leave."

Prince Jing nodded, "Be well."

Lord Wu bowed to Prince Jing, turned and left. When Lord Wu disappeared, Prince Jing stopped smiling and said in a cold voice, "Show yourself, coward."

A red figure fell into the courtyard. Wang Jinhuan said bitterly, "What have I done to deserve this? First, I suffered at the hands of Princess Hui Guo. Then I make a fool of myself here. What am I going to do? Grrrr!"

"What did you say just now? What's gonna happen to my Princess? And how did you suffer because of her?" Prince Jing ignored Wang Jinhuan's wail. He raised his hand and flattened the crease on his sleeves casually as he spoke.

Wang Jinhuan moved closer to the Prince. "You don't know how evil your little Princess is. I went shopping earlier and came across her by accident. You've mentioned her a lot recently. Curious, I followed her. And then I saw her being chased by some assailants. There were at least a dozen of them.

I was just about to help her, but she killed them all. I didn't even have the chance to show off. Then she spotted me and made me her scapegoat. She insisted that I killed those men and then she pretended to faint."

"What then? Was she hurt?" Prince Jing said calmly.
