Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1113: Something Happened

"Please report, and say Qin Yi requests an audience."

In front of the Second Prince Mansion, Qin Yi said to the guarding soldiers.

He was unfamiliar with this imperial city, and with Yun Susu and the others not yet returned, he could only seek news from the Second Prince.

The guards at the Second Prince's gate, much less those of a minor official, looked at Qin Yi with disdain, "You think the Second Prince is someone you can just meet?"

Qin Yi's gaze turned cold. He had no patience to waste words with these people and was about to barge in when he heard another soldier exclaim, "Did you say your name is Qin Yi?"

"What?" Qin Yi said indifferently. Was there a problem with his name?

"So it's Young Master Qin, please wait a moment, I will report to the Second Prince immediately."

"Old He, what are you doing? It's so late, if we disturb the Second Prince and are held accountable, we can't afford it."

Old He apologetically smiled at Qin Yi, pulled the rambling soldier aside, and said a few words. The soldier's look of contempt instantly turned into one of fright.

"So it's Young Master Qin, my eyes failed to recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me."

Qin Yi frowned, understanding that this man's change in attitude was definitely because Old He said something. He had no time to dwell on it, replying indifferently, "I have urgent business with the Second Prince."

Old He hurriedly said, "Young Master Qin, please wait a moment, I will report this at once."

In fact, the matter of Qin Yi beheading the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire had already spread. It just so happened that Old He had heard of this and was scared stiff upon hearing Qin Yi's name. Someone who dared to decapitate the Three Kings, who were they even? If they kept babbling and got killed, it would be in vain.

Qin Yi waited for a while, then Old He hurriedly ran out, bowing respectfully, "Young Master Qin, the Second Prince invites you in."

Following Old He, they arrived at the grand hall from yesterday.

Inside the grand hall, it was brightly lit, filled with song and dance.

When Qin Yi had pretended to be Yun Susu yesterday, it hadn't been this lively. At that time, Yun Baixuan had ordered the singers and dancers to leave.

"Qin Yi, please sit," Yun Baixuan said warmly.

After Qin Yi sat down, a graceful maid served tea, and Qin Yi's eyes lingered on her.

Yun Baixuan noticed everything, a mocking smile on his lips, clearly a womanizer.

"Qin Yi, you're here about the Third Princess, aren't you?"

Qin Yi seemed to snap out of the maid's allure, looking at Yun Baixuan, "Does the Second Prince know what happened?"

"Of course, I knew you would come to find me," the Prince replied.

You think you're so clever, if you had known they wouldn't have stopped me at the gate. What a pretentious act, your show is terrible.

"Second Prince, what exactly happened to the Third Princess?"

Yun Baixuan waved to the dancers, "You may leave now."

Qin Yi reluctantly watched those enchanting dancers leave.

Yun Baixuan observed this and laughed, "If you like them, you can choose a couple to take back."

"Better not. I'm currently staying at the Third Princess Mansion. If I dared to take women back, Yun Mengyao would tear the place apart, I don't want such trouble."

Yun Baixuan laughed, "I see! I have an idea, I have a house by East City Lake with a nice environment. If you like, it's yours. Staying at someone else's place is always inconvenient, right?"

"Really?" Qin Yi's eyes lit up, "Then I thank the Second Prince in advance."

Yun Baixuan smiled, "Very well, I'll have it cleaned up tomorrow. You can move in anytime."

Qin Yi nodded with a grin, then asked, "Second Prince, what happened to the Third Princess? Why hasn't she returned so late?"

Yun Baixuan sighed lightly, "Qin Yi, the Third Princess has been captured."

"Boom!"

Qin Yi's gaze turned cold, and a violent power swept out, freezing the entire grand hall as if it was sealed in ice, making everyone shiver with cold.

This time, Yun Baixuan had only dismissed the dancers and maids; his confidants remained.

These people were all high-ranking, to demonstrate their power to Qin Yi, and also to intimidate him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yi's terrifying presence made everyone's face change, their Qi and blood churning, and some almost couldn't help but cough up blood.

"What a gutsy act, who dared to touch my woman, do they want to die?" Qin Yi roared, shaking the entire grand hall as dust fell, tables and chairs quaked, and the ground trembled continuously.

Yun Baixuan wasn't angry but rather pleased, what strong cultivation.

"Qin Yi, don't be angry yet, listen to me explain." Although he was appeasing Qin Yi, he felt contempt inside. Who do you think you are, calling the Third Princess your possession as if she's your personal belonging?

Qin Yi's eyes were icy, "Second Prince, tell me, who captured the Third Princess."

"It was my father, the Emperor."

Qin Yi was stunned and blurted out, "Why did that old Emperor capture the Third Princess?"

Everyone present was shocked, someone dared to call the Emperor an old man, that was a crime punishable by family extermination.

Yun Baixuan was also startled. As arrogant as he could be, he wouldn't dare speak ill of the Emperor. Qin Yi was truly audacious, daring to curse the Emperor.

"Qin Yi, mind your words. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Be careful not to speak like this outside; if the Eldest Prince and Eldest Princess hear of it, no one can save you."

Qin Yi dismissively rolled his eyes, but accepted the Second Prince's advice, saying, "Got it! But why did the old Emperor capture the Third Princess?"

Yun Baixuan sighed lightly, showing worry for Yun Susu. After a long while, he spoke, "My foolish sister, I don't know what's gotten into her. Originally, she accomplished a great deed and should have been rewarded, but she offended my father.

This time her contribution was immense, and father intended to pardon the former Empress, also her and my stepsister's mother. But my sister made an unreasonable demand, wanting a map of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates.

Qin Yi, you should know the importance of this map. Not to mention its value, the map concerns the safety of the Empire. How could my father agree? But my sister kept pleading, angering my father, so she was detained.

You see, what should have been a good thing, ended up like this. I don't know what's on my sister's mind, why she insists on the map."

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat. Yun Susu had been deceiving him again. She didn't have the map. No wonder when Yun Susu said she'd bring the map to him today, Jin Die looked odd last night. It seemed Yun Susu knew that the map might not be retrievable.

This foolish woman, really stupid to death.

Qin Yi didn't know whether to be angry or touched.

"And what about Yun Mengyao? Was she captured too?"

Yun Baixuan's eyes flickered with mockery, appearing somewhat proud, but he quickly concealed it, saying, "Actually, the Third Princess's capture was mostly because Yun Mengyao insulted my father in public, calling him not a man, which angered him."
