Huang Li was so frightened that he kowtowed desperately.

"I dare not! I absolutely dare not..."

The eunuch who announced the decree snorted coldly.

"The Emperor has spoken, if you can't rule your own family, how can you rule the world? Sir Huang, you should understand what I mean!"

"I understand, I understand, I understand!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed even harder, until his head bled. He did not stop until the eunuch walked away.

Madam Huang sobbed, "Master, what is going on?"

"What does this have to do with our Meng'er? Is she being bullied outside?"

Huang Li was already furious. When he thought about how he had finally gotten the position, and how he had just lost it before he could even sit there, he became even more furious. He slapped Madam Huang in the face.

"It's all your fault! You spoiled Huang Meng to the point of lawlessness!"

"A minister's daughter actually dared to humiliate the princess in public! She is so tired of living!"

"Someone, bring that damn girl back! Give her thirty strokes of the cane and send her to the farm!"

Mrs. Huang cried and screamed, trying to stop it!

Huang Li didn't say a word and directly wrote a divorce letter, and had her sent away on the grounds that she couldn't give birth to a son!

After everyone left, Huang Li immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Not only did he lose his job, but he also spent all his money! What should he do now?

…

On the other side, inside Yipinxuan.

Princess Xinrong was invited into a private room by Hua Lingyi, where Hua Lingxuan was holding Hua Qingqing, and Hua Wanru were waiting.

Seeing the princess come in, everyone bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess! May Your Highness be well!"

"Okay, I've told you so many times, you don't need to be polite when you meet me in private!"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished!" Hua Lingyi curled his lips.

Hua Qingqing opened her two little hands, "Sister Yanruo, give me a hug!"

Hua Lingyi rubbed Qingqing's head and said, "You are so heavy, how can the princess hold you? Let my second brother hold you!"

Hua Qingqing felt a little aggrieved.

"I don't eat much, so I'm not heavy!"

Jiang originally didn't want her to go out today, but she cried and made a fuss, so she had no choice but to let her go out to play with her brothers and sisters.

"Sister Qingqing is not heavy! Let me hold you!" The princess smiled and held Hua Qingqing in her arms.

In fact, she was the youngest child in the palace. Her mother passed away early. Her elder brother, the Prince of Yan, was not around. She was somewhat lonely.

So I especially like playing with Hua Lingyi and others.

The atmosphere in their home was also very good, which made her feel free of burden.

"Princess, I actually want to say goodbye to you!" Hua Lingyi went straight to the point.

The princess was stunned. "Where are we going?"

Hua Lingyi directly told him about going to the Prince of Yan’s fiefdom and joining the army.

The princess felt a little disappointed, but she suppressed her reluctance and smiled, "Then be careful! I guess we won't see each other again!"

"I should go and get married!"

Hua Lingyi shook his head firmly.

"We will meet again. The princess will not marry!"

Hua Wanru was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag, so she spoke quickly.

"My second brother went to Hanshan Temple a few days ago. He went to pray for the princess and burn incense. He also drew lots and asked a fortune teller to interpret the fortune! He said that the princess will not marry this time!"

Hua Lingyi nodded quickly and realized that he almost let the cat out of the bag.

The princess was surprised. "You even went to burn incense and draw lots for me? Thank you so much!"

Hua Lingyi didn't go, so he was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.

The princess thought he had gone and was too embarrassed to say anything.

Just pat him on the shoulder.

"That's really nice of you! Thank you!"

Hua Lingyi was stunned by the photo and felt even more embarrassed. He decided silently in his heart that before leaving, he must go to Hanshan Temple to draw lots for the princess.

Several people were eating and drinking in the private room, it was quite lively.

The private room where the old emperor was was next to them. It was the old emperor's request.

Qiu Mobai arranged it personally. The old emperor could hear Hua Lingyi's voice in this room, but Hua Lingyi and his friends could not hear anything from the old emperor.

The old emperor raised his eyebrows as he listened to the noise coming from next door.

"Is the second son of the Hua family interested in the princess?"

Even the father-in-law, who was carefully serving the dishes, heard the conversation in the next room and coughed awkwardly.

"If you know how to be lustful, you will admire young girls! It's human nature!" Eunuch Lian smiled.

"Besides, our princess is the most beautiful woman in Bianjing City! There are countless men who like her!"

The old emperor snorted and nodded.

"The princess takes after her mother, so she is beautiful beyond words..." The old emperor was quite proud.

Hua Qingqing was being fed delicious food by Hua Wanru. Suddenly her ears moved. She frowned and thought.

[Hey, it looks like the old emperor is in the next room! ]

[It seems like he can hear what we are saying! ]

Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi, and Hua Wanru were all shocked. They looked at each other and immediately became cautious in their words.

Princess Xinrong didn't notice anything unusual.

Continue chatting and laughing with a few people.

The old emperor was standing aside, eating delicious food and listening to the noise from their side, just like he was having a meal with a group of children.

I feel better for some reason.

Suddenly I heard people passing by the door talking.

"The Crown Princess is truly an amazing person. She actually found out the secret estate of the Southern King in Bianjing City!"

"Yes! And report it to His Majesty! Only then can we catch all of the Southern King's men in one fell swoop."

"Yes, yes! It feels so good!"

The old emperor frowned and looked at Eunuch Lian beside him.

"The matter of the Southern Prince's secret manor is related to the Crown Princess?"

Even the father-in-law was confused and shook his head.

The old emperor waved his hand, "Go check! What's going on?"

Eunuch Lian hurried out to investigate.

Hua Qingqing heard the noise, blinked, and frowned in thought.

[Ah, the old emperor has also heard the news from outside! It was the Crown Princess who discovered that the Southern Prince was in a secret manor in Bianjing City! ]

[This won’t affect Daddy, will it?]

She was somewhat worried.

Hua Wanru's eyes flickered slightly.

Said to the princess.

"Your Highness, I'm sweating a little. Go change your clothes now!"

The princess nodded.

"Go! Go!"

Hua Wanru bowed slightly and walked out calmly. She saw two guards guarding the door of the private room next door, but she pretended not to see them.

Just walk around them and go downstairs.

He got on his own carriage parked in front of Yipinxuan.

She called out the guards hiding in the dark, explained the situation here, and asked him to quickly pass it on to Hua Changjue. She changed her clothes in the carriage and entered Yipinxuan again.

Hua Changjue heard the news from Hua Wanru. His eyes were deep. He looked at the gradually darkening sky and thought that he couldn't wait any longer.

He also didn't expect that the old emperor would leave the palace today.

He had to release the Southern King's men before the old emperor asked about it. This would ensure that the plan would be foolproof.

Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted, and there is a possibility that the Crown Princess will bite back.
