The emperor was the first one who wanted to run away.
Concubine Lin quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "Huailuo almost lost his life tonight. Your Majesty, don't you want to comfort me?"
Emperor: "I didn't..."
The Queen came over and silently added, "He's free."
Then he left.
The emperor looked at the queen's back and felt helpless.
The queen plotted against him again.
Concubine Lin said, "Thank you, sister. Take care."
Concubine Lin withdrew her gaze, looked at the emperor sinisterly, and sneered, "Your Majesty is afraid of me?"
The emperor asked, "How could that be?"
Concubine Lin said, "Then follow me."
Concubine Lin immediately took the emperor away. When the other children saw this, they pretended not to see anything and ran even faster.
Emperor: “…” You guys remember this!!!
Lin Yue sent them all away and then sat down to take a break.
She had just gone to see the prince to ask about the handling of the He family's affairs.
Who knew that as soon as she arrived at the East Palace, she heard that something had happened to Xiao Huaice and Xiao Huailuo. She hurried back without telling them anything.
At this time, Deng Wei came in and said, "Princess, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are waiting for you in Songyue Palace."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Soon, Lin Yue arrived at Songyue Palace.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were indeed waiting here. When they saw Lin Yue coming, they hurried forward to support her, fearing that she was tired.
Lin Yue laughed. She was in good health now.
Lin Yue sat down and asked the prince, "How was the matter handled afterwards?"
The prince said, "The Imperial Master explained the interests involved to the He family, emphasizing that He Yingwu was currently absorbing their luck, and asked them to deal with him as soon as possible, or hand him over to him for disposal."
"But the He family is very emotional. They say that the Imperial Preceptor and Rong Ting knew each other, so they are putting all the blame on the He family. They are clearly the victims, but now they are being blamed for two lives."
"I asked Madam He's brother and Fang Caijing's second uncle to confront them, and they finally calmed down. They were willing to pay 20,000 taels to settle the matter, on the condition that He Yingwu would not be held accountable."
"As for He Gui, the Imperial Master said that He Gui has already reached the end of his lifespan, and he will probably die tonight."
"When the He family found out, they simply pushed all the blame onto him. But when it came to He Yingwu, they acted like crazy and even took out kitchen knives."
"Seeing this, I had no choice but to let them take He Yingwu away."
"However, the Emperor has already issued an edict to strip the He family of all their official positions and titles, and to allow He Yingwu and my second sister to divorce."
"What the He family is carrying back now is just a Gu person who is consuming their luck and staying alive. If we can't stop it in time, I'm afraid the whole family will suffer."
"The Imperial Master said that within three months, the He family will come to him for help, and he will then take action."
Lin Yue nodded and asked, "Has Fang Caijing been cleared of all charges?"
The prince said, "After the case is concluded, I will have the officials post notices explaining the whole story. By now, everyone in the streets and alleys should know that it was the He family who deliberately broke off the engagement and then took someone's life. The Fang family girl is innocent, and her parents are also innocent, yet they have suffered this disaster. It is truly a tragedy."
Lin Yue said: "He Gui and He Yingwu both deserve to die. It's ridiculous that Rong Ting thinks that exposing herself can save the He family."
"Since the He family's fortune has declined, let the government keep an eye on them. He Gui dared to murder the princess, so how can we be sure that the other members of the He family haven't done anything bad?"
"It's best to confiscate their entire home and see how arrogant they can be in the future."
The prince nodded and said, "That's exactly what my nephew thought. I've already sent someone to keep an eye on them."
After hearing this, Lin Yue felt very relieved.
At this time, the system said: [The Crown Prince dealt with the He family and made a clear distinction between them, winning over a million points of public favorability. This can now be converted into 200,000 merits.]
[However, the He family is arrogant and domineering, relying on their numbers to cause trouble. This has a very negative impact. If not dealt with promptly, merit may be deducted. Therefore, the conversion will not be carried out for the time being, and will be left for observation.]
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were happy at first, but then worried.
Lin Yue spread her hands and said helplessly, "So sometimes, what seems to be a flourishing scene may actually be just a bunch of empty talk."
"But no matter what, as long as you have done it with all your heart and tried your best at the moment, a small reward is what you deserve."
After Lin Yue finished speaking, she exchanged a health-strengthening pill for the Crown Princess.
“If you work hard, you may not get anything, but if you don’t work hard, you will definitely get nothing.”
"I don't know what good the future will bring you, but I think as long as you all live healthy lives, maybe there will be a surprise one day."
The Crown Princess' eyes were red with emotion: "Thank you, Auntie."
The prince also hurriedly said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Lin Yue said, "Rest here for a while before leaving. Don't let those brats see you, or I'll be busy again."
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
Lin Yueze walked out and called Cuicui, asking, "Look, which direction are Fang Caijing and her daughter in?"
Cuicui stopped at Lin Yue's shoulder, looked around, and then said, "In the rockery, I'll go call him."
Lin Yue said: "No need, we can just walk over there."
Soon, Lin Yue saw Fang Caijing and her daughter beside the rockery. The mother and daughter were holding hands the whole time, as if they were afraid of getting separated.
The little girl looked at Lin Yue curiously, but seemed a little shy, and quietly hid behind Fang Caijing.
Lin Yue told Fang Caijing everything about the He family and said, "He Yingwu is no longer a complete person, and his death will be meaningless."
"I'm more worried about you and your daughter. Where are you going to stay?"
Fang Caijing said, "I no longer have any wishes in this world, but my child cannot go to the reincarnation platform, and I can't leave her alone."
"Please ask Princess Ding to take us to see Master Zhang. Perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."
Lin Yue said: "I came here just for this matter, so please follow me."
After Lin Yue finished speaking, she said to Cuicui, "Go and tell my master first, so that the black eagle won't suddenly appear and scare the mother and daughter."
Cuicui nodded and said fearfully, "I'm a little afraid of the Eagle King too."
Lin Yue said: "Don't be afraid, you are my eagle."
Upon hearing this, Cuicui immediately said with confidence: "Yes, I can follow my benefactor's owl."
After saying this, he happily flew towards the Zhaixing Tower.
After tricking Cuicui away, Lin Yue sighed to the system: [Cuicui is no longer afraid, but I am afraid.]
