"Madam, you have to think clearly. If we can accomplish this, we will be valued by noble people in the future." Shen Feng paused, and then said meaningfully, "There is no need to wait for ten years. Wealth and glory are right in front of us."
Many things in this life are different from the previous life.
But obviously, the Queen Mother and the Northern Barbarians have a greater chance of winning than the Second Prince and Concubine Ling.
Whether it was Emperor Xiaoming's collection of grain taxes that led to his loss of popular support, or the Second Prince's apparent prosperity but in fact the criticism from court officials, the Empress Dowager was behind all of this.
What's more, the attack of the Northern Barbarians happened much earlier than in the previous life.
Now he fully understood that the military equipment that he and Xue Linglong helped transport for the Second Prince in his previous life was not actually to help the Second Prince accomplish his goal. Rather, it was the Queen Mother who, under the guise of cooperating with the Second Prince, was preparing for the Northern Barbarian to occupy Dayong.
Who could have imagined that the woman with the highest status and the most power in the entire Dayong would privately support not her own grandson, but a young man from the northern barbarians?
If it weren't for the memories of an extra lifetime, who would dare to guess in this direction?
Your Majesty the Queen Mother, you really hid it too well!
The Queen Mother's progress in this life is faster than in the previous life.
There is no need to wait for eight or nine years. Perhaps only a few months will be enough for the Northern Barbarian Army to flatten the North Gate, rush across Yueheng Mountain, and reach the capital.
Different memories from the previous life.
In this life, he led the Jinyang Marquisate to stand on the right side.
What awaits the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion will not be the swords of the Northern Barbarian soldiers, but the merit of following the dragon!
The declining Jinyang Marquis Mansion will be revived in his hands.
I believe that my father would feel extremely relieved knowing this in his netherworld.
Xue Linglong could not empathize with Chen Feng's excitement, and even felt a little puzzled.
"Now that the Second Prince is increasingly loved by the people, are you sure you still want to follow your noble?"
The smile on Chen Feng's lips froze, "What do you know? Let's wait and see, the Second Prince will definitely not be the one who laughs last."
"Then who is it?" Xue Linglong grabbed Shen Feng's wrist and asked.
Apparently, Shen Feng knew more than he did.
Could it be that Shen Feng’s dream was a little longer than his own?
It was just that in the dream, she had already witnessed the scene after marrying into the Jinyang Marquis Mansion for nearly ten years.
At that time, most of the princes were dead or disabled, and none of them had the ability to compete with the second prince. Both the previous dynasty, the harem, and Emperor Xiaoming himself, all preferred the second prince to succeed to the throne.
It can be said that he just lacked the title of crown prince... At that time, the second prince did not have the title of crown prince, but he had already been the crown prince in reality.
If he wasn't the one laughing last, who else could be?
It can't be Xiliang or Beiman, right?
Xue Linglong looked at Shen Feng with burning eyes.
Shen Feng grabbed her hand that was holding his wrist with his backhand, "Anyway, it's not the Second Prince."
"Linglong, take a long-term view. Listen to your husband. Your husband will not harm you."
"Then about transporting supplies..."
"I can't do it." Xue Linglong interrupted Shen Feng.
Chen Feng tightened his grip on Xue Linglong's hand, his eyes became more scrutinizing and aggressive, "Linglong, husband and wife are one, they prosper together and suffer together, you should know this principle."
"This is not only helping me, but also helping yourself. Since you have the ability, why hide your incompetence?"
"When the nobleman gains power, I will not only inherit my father's title, but it is also possible for me to go further. By then, I will ask for an imperial decree for you. Who in the capital will dare to look down on you and me?"
As Chen Feng finished speaking, he saw Xue Linglong frowning and saying nothing, and he couldn't help but feel more disappointed.
His tone became heavier, "Linglong, after all these things have happened, I am still willing to give you some kind advice. You should be content and stop being so petty! Are you thinking about it now or when we were in Xiping Lane?"
With just one sentence, Xue Linglong's face instantly turned red.
She angrily shook off Shen Feng's hand, "What do you mean by that! Are you arguing with me about the time I left the house?"
"Chen Feng, you keep saying that you will treat me well when you take me back to your house. Is that how you treat me? You are clearly calculating the little things I know and making up lies to trick me into coming back!"
Shen Feng’s eyes flickered a little.
He avoided Xue Linglong's gaze guiltily.
Seeing Xue Linglong still accusing him, he became angry, threw up his sleeves, and said, "You don't know what I'm talking about!"
Then he turned and left the main room.
Just then, I ran into a second-class maid from Qifeng Courtyard, who came in carrying a tray of lunch.
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows and ordered, “Remove it, the Crown Prince’s wife has no appetite today.”
"The Crown Prince's wife is in a bad mood and doesn't want to see anyone. Without the Crown Prince's order, you are not allowed to enter and disturb the Crown Prince's wife in the next two days."
The maid quickly replied "yes", carried the unopened lunch, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
Shen Feng did not lower his voice, and every word he said fell into Xue Linglong's ears.
She pursed her lips and wanted to push the door open to go out.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and endured it.
Fortunately, she let Cui Tao leave the Marquis' Mansion just now.
She would just have to endure it for a day or two. Cuitao would be back in two days at most after finishing her work. Then the worst that could happen was that she would stay in the newly bought small house for a couple of days.
Let’s see how Shen Feng can still control her!
…
What Xue Linglong didn't know was.
The maid who was highly regarded by everyone, after leaving the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion and pawning her jade bracelet to the pawnshop, went straight into Kanglefang with a thick stack of banknotes in her pocket.
Everyone in Beijing knows that Kanglefang is a mixed bag of good and bad people.
Murders and arson are also common in private.
As long as you have money, you won't have trouble finding people willing to work for you.
During the time she lived in the Ling family villa, Santao, who was beside Xue Linglong, often went out to do things. Not only Xiutao, who had previously bought medicinal herbs for her, but Cuitao also came to Kanglefang several times.
I had already found out where I could "get things done" in Kanglefang.
Carrying the silver bills, he walked into a three-story shop.
Soon, she changed her clothes and left through the back door.
When he left, the stack of silver bills in his arms became a little thinner. In addition to the silver bills, there was also a travel pass with an official seal on it.
…
Under the influence of the decrees issued one after another by the second prince.
The capital city became increasingly chaotic.
The Luo Mansion is also located on Zhuque Street, where many nobles gather, but is filled with poor people.
Lord Luo, with gray hair, was kneeling on a cushion. On the wall in front of him hung a portrait of a deity. If you look closely, the face of the deity in the painting clearly looks like the late emperor.
Lord Luo bowed towards the portrait.
Then he sighed and said, "The country you left behind has now been ruined and riddled with holes."
"Fortunately, Your Highness has grown up now. You have quite a bit of your elegance and grace. If Dayong can be handed over to Your Highness in the future, it will surely be able to restore the prosperity it enjoyed when you were here..."
"According to the date, His Highness should have left Jeju by now."
