Chapter 1189

They also wanted to arrive faster; they came as soon as they received the news.

From afar, they saw a large crowd kneeling down.

They knew for sure that something had happened.

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not know what everyone was thinking.

He just felt that the commotion of today's incident was a bit too big.

Looking around, he swept his gaze over those kneeling on the ground.

He spoke softly with a calm expression.

"Everyone, rise."

"Thank you, Crown Prince!"

Those kneeling heard these words and only then dared to stand up.

But everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak much.

There was still a group of people who remained kneeling, not daring to stand up.

It was those who had spoken mockingly and flirted earlier who did not stand up.

Terrified that they would be punished by the Crown Prince, they were too scared to stand up.

Kneeling on the ground, their bodies were trembling slightly.

"Crown Prince, we did not know it was you who arrived."

"Just now, we were blind; please forgive us, Your Highness!"

The people kneeling on the ground spoke, their voices trembling.

"Rise, those who do not know are not guilty."

Ying Ying Zi Ye truly had not thought about punishing them.

They were just ordinary commoners, just teasing for a moment.

There was nothing to punish here.

Those kneeling on the ground all thought the Crown Prince was going to punish them.

After all, they were the ones who mocked the Crown Prince just now.

But the Crown Prince did not hold it against them.

He just smiled faintly and ignored it.

This couldn't help but make people even more excited.

So the Crown Prince was truly the same as the rumors said.

Capable in both civil and military affairs, concerned for the commoners, kind-hearted, and deep in righteousness.

He was even more patient with the commoners; as expected of the Crown Prince, he was truly different.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Those kneeling on the ground also stood up.

The gazes looking at the Crown Prince held a bit more fanaticism.

This was their Crown Prince, the current Crown Prince.

Many people had not had close contact with the Crown Prince.

Now seeing that the Crown Prince did not punish them for their previous mistakes.

They began to whisper.

"Those people just now were truly bold, actually daring to mock the Crown Prince."

"Fortunately, the Crown Prince is a good person, otherwise they would definitely have to suffer imprisonment."

"It's just that the Crown Prince is easy to talk to; if it were someone else, these people would be in trouble."

"With such a Crown Prince in our Great Qin, why worry that Great Qin won't be strong?"

"Oh my god, my little heart is pounding non-stop right now."

"Fortunately, the Crown Prince didn't punish us; I can't speak recklessly in the future; truly, disaster comes from the mouth and illness enters through the mouth."

"In the future, whoever dares to slander the Crown Prince is going against us!"

Whether they were commoners far away or nearby, they were all secretly rejoicing at this moment.

This time, the imprisonment was avoided.

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not care about the commoners' words.

He had not reached the point of needing to take his anger out on the commoners.

"Your Highness, has something happened?"

"Do you need us to arrest anyone?"

The city guards' voices rang out.

They asked directly if they needed to arrest anyone.

This sentence made the hearts of the onlookers pound uncontrollably.

They almost had the urge to turn around and run.

Fortunately, they saw the Crown Prince shaking his head.

Only then did they feel relieved; it seemed the Crown Prince truly did not intend to punish them.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at that swarthy middle-aged man.

He saw that the swarthy middle-aged man could not even stand steadily.

He could only barely stand with the support of the little girl.

Seeing the Crown Prince's attention focused on him.

He stumbled, his legs went soft, and he fell to the ground again.

"Your Highness, spare my life!"

"This lowly one truly did not know it was you, Your Highness, who arrived."

"Otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to speak recklessly."

Ying Ying Zi Ye took a few steps forward, bent down, and wanted to help this swarthy middle-aged man up.

This action almost scared the swarthy middle-aged man to death.

"Your Highness, you mustn't, you mustn't, it will dirty you."

The middle-aged man kept backing away, but Ying Ying Zi Ye ignored him.

He grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

"This Crown Prince is not a wild beast, there is no need to be so afraid."

The swarthy middle-aged man only then stood up, but his legs were still trembling slightly.

Like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

Seeing this, the little girl immediately stepped forward to support the middle-aged man again.

"Ji Tao, are you alright?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye turned his head to look at Ji Tao.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, Ji Tao is fine."

Ji Tao was flattered and hurriedly bowed.

This was her husband's superior, the current Crown Prince.

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded; as long as she was fine, he turned his head to look at the little girl again.

He saw the little girl blinking her large eyes, also looking at him curiously.

Her eyes were full of innocence, which made one feel pity.

"She is still so young, why are you forcing her to marry?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye revealed a smile and reached out to stroke the little girl's small head.

A blush appeared on the little girl's face, but she did not dodge, just looked curiously.

"Your Highness, this lowly one is also forced by circumstances."

"My daughter has already reached the age of marriage; if she doesn't marry, this lowly one will be fined or have to go to jail."

"We are just ordinary commoners, so we must hurry and marry off my daughter."

Ying Ying Zi Ye pointed to the maid beside Ji Tao and asked: "Then she is a few years older than your daughter, has she married?"

"If she hasn't even married yet, why do you have to make things difficult for your younger daughter?"
