Xie Qing looked at the angry Qin Wan and recalled the day when he broke into her boudoir when he was injured and unconscious. He was not simply injured, but injured + poisoned. It took him half a month to recuperate, but because of the poisoning, the wound did not heal well. This whip must have broken the wound.
"Forget it." Xie Qing thought, after all, she saved his life, so forget it.
Qin Wan couldn't agree: "No! This matter can't be over! We have to go to the emperor and talk it out!"
Such a good opportunity to draw a clear line with the prince, how could Qin Wan miss it?
So because the prince splashed mud all over Miss Qin while riding his horse at the city gate and was whipped by Miss Qin, the two of them had a quarrel in front of the emperor.
The emperor and Marquis Xuanwu Qin Zhan had received the news long ago, and even Qin Sheng came from the Ministry of War to wait. Several princes could not go in, so they stood outside the imperial study and looked at them with "concern".
Qin Wan looked straight ahead and walked into the room with a heroic and confident look.
Xie Qing's face was pale, and he was supported by Master Du and took a step behind.
The Fourth Prince looked at Xie Qing and the wound on his body with great concern: "Is my Royal Brother injured?"
Prince Du was filled with righteous indignation: "Miss Qin is too cruel! The Crown Prince is already weak, how could he withstand a whip from her!"
The eldest prince gloated and said, "Prince, please go in quickly. Father is waiting."
"Thank you all for your concern, brothers." Xie Qing thanked them weakly. Before he even entered the door, he heard Qin Wan's resounding apology.
Qin Wan wiped the mud off her face, but it wasn't completely wiped clean. When she saw the emperor, she apologized: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
The emperor looked at Qin Wan, then at Xie Qing who had just entered the room. He was wearing moon-white clothes with some blood stains faintly visible. "Is the prince injured?"
Xie Qing nodded. What a great opportunity, isn't it?
He sighed, "It was my fault. I rode my horse in the street and embarrassed Miss Qin. I don't blame Miss Qin, but she came to my father to apologize."
Qin Wan turned and bowed politely to Xie Qing, "Your Highness, your words are wrong. I am not here to apologize, but to ask Your Majesty to restrain Your Highness! As the crown prince, instead of working for the country and the people, being diligent and pragmatic, and striving for excellence, you act like that dandy boy, letting your horse run wild. This is disgraceful!"
The Emperor and Marquis Xuanwu exchanged glances. He coughed and said, "Miss Qin's suggestion is sound. The Crown Prince is indeed a bit naughty."
Qin Zhan and Qin Sheng quickly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not teaching my daughter well!"
The emperor laughed heartily. "It's no big deal if children fight. It's also because the Crown Prince is not well-trained. He can't even beat Miss Qin. How shameful! Crown Prince, you are injured. Why don't you let the imperial physician take a look at the injury?"
After hearing this, Qin Zhan and Qin Sheng didn't know how to respond.
Qin Wan just wanted to make the matter bigger and make the emperor feel that the people in his family were ignorant and not worth worrying about, so that everyone could live more comfortably.
Since the emperor said it was a trivial matter, Qin Wan bowed her head and thanked him: "Your Majesty, I thank you for not blaming me."
Qin Zhan sighed and quickly apologized for Qin Wan: "I still have some excellent medicine for wounds in my house. I will send it to the palace right away. I guarantee that you will heal quickly and won't leave scars."
The emperor smiled and said, "My dear, that medicine was given by me as a gift, right? I accept your kindness on behalf of the Crown Prince. Now, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. Miss Qin, please go back and clean up as your clothes are all dirty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Qin family father and son took the troubled Qin Wan out of the palace.
After getting on the carriage, Qin Zhan looked at Qin Wan in confusion: "Why are you acting so impulsively today?"
Qin Wan pondered for a moment. She couldn't talk about her rebirth, but she could analyze the current situation. "Your Majesty has always been wary of our Qin family. After my divorce, Marquis Pingyang wrongly accused me of having an affair with the Crown Prince. Secondly, I've been in public with the Crown Prince many times."
"The princes are so powerful now. His Majesty will be displeased if we get close to any of them. If we get close to the Crown Prince, the other princes will also be displeased. With the Crown Prince acting like this now, can he be the future monarch?"
This one sentence made Qin Zhan and Qin Sheng silent, and they didn't speak all the way.
They don't take sides, but they can't let people misunderstand them.
Although Qin Wan's approach was risky, it completely separated the Qin family from the prince.
The Qin family is now powerless, and the other princes will not come to win over the Qin family. As long as they remain loyal ministers, the Qin family will be safe.
Qin Wan was delayed for a while and was late for the flower viewing banquet at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
When Qin Wan arrived, the flower viewing banquet had already begun. The servant at the main gate saw Qin Wan and was very embarrassed: "Husband... Miss Qin, you are here, what are you doing..."
"Attend the flower viewing banquet." Qin Wan took out the invitation and handed it to the servant.
The servant took a look and found that it was indeed a post sent from their side.
But the servant didn't dare to let anyone in. Just when he was in trouble, Bai Wanyi came out.
Bai Wanyi smiled as she escorted the wife of Lord Wu, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, out. When she saw Qin Wan from afar, her expression didn't look very good.
Mrs. Wu, holding a box of rouge and powder, saw that things were not going well and said, "You don't have to send me off. I can go back on my own. It's a pity I have something else to do today and can't stay longer."
Bai Wanyi quickly smiled and said, "It's a great honor for you to be here. Please take care."
Bai Wanyi watched Madam Wu board the carriage before turning to Qin Wan. "This is a flower viewing party for young people, in preparation for their wedding. I wonder what brings you here, Miss Qin?"
Qin Wan said modestly, "I'm not married yet, so why don't you welcome me?"
Bai Wanyi's words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say them.
"Oh, I'm late." Mrs. Chen got off the carriage and smiled when she saw that there was no one else at the door.
