"How could this happen? Where are the people?" Qin Yurong's expression froze.
The maid searched everywhere and came back to report: "Madam, we have searched everywhere, but there is no sign of Liu Sisi. Even her things have been taken away."
When she came to her senses, Qin Yurong's eyes were filled with immense anger.
"It's the prince! The prince actually took that vixen away!"
He Huaixuan expected that Qin Yurong would settle the score with Liu Sisi as soon as he left, so he took Liu Sisi away as well.
Qin Yurong's heart was broken.
The prince took his concubine with him when he went out to explore the world, and they shared hardships together. I'm afraid that in the future the prince will only remember Liu Sisi.
"Blame it on me for being soft-hearted. I should have come here and sold Liu Sisi out last night."
Qin Yurong returned to the Marquis' Mansion like a resentful ghost.
Mingde Hall.
Since the confinement, Concubine Li has been fasting and copying scriptures every day. She has stopped making trouble and has been so low-key and quiet that it seems as if she has no temper at all.
But the nanny came back to report that Princess Yongjia was clamoring to divorce her husband.
She wanted to divorce her husband just after getting married, and the husband was chosen by Emperor Jinde for the marriage.
After hearing this, Concubine Li had no expression on her face. She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Suddenly, the teacup slipped and fell to the ground and shattered.
The palace maid Guyu hurriedly knelt on the ground and picked up the fragments tremblingly.
When she tried to stand up holding the fragments, an embroidered shoe stepped heavily on the back of her hand.
"ah!"
The fragments pierced into the flesh, and both hands were instantly covered in blood. The fingers were connected to the heart, and the pain was piercing.
Guyu couldn't help but scream, his face turned pale and he almost fell to the side.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life... Your Majesty, please calm down..." Guyu kowtowed while enduring the pain.
Lipin lowered her eyes, her eyes cold and gloomy: "I like quietness and worship Buddha with all my heart. You, a little palace maid, are shouting and making a lot of noise."
Guyu: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was wrong! I shouldn't have disturbed you."
"Really?" Lipin stepped harder.
There was a pool of blood on the ground.
The little palace maid tried hard to hold back her screams, but eventually she fainted from the pain.
"Bad luck." Concubine Li frowned slightly and ordered the nanny, "Drag him away and deal with him."
"Yes, your Majesty." The nanny was used to it and asked the eunuch to drag the man away and clean the ground.
After a while, a new face came to serve Concubine Li, and the badge around his waist was still engraved with the words "Gu Yu".
In Mingde Hall, the palace servants only have code names. Although the people are replaced one after another, they still use the same badges, as if they have never been replaced.
No one cares about their life or death.
Lipin: "Go back and tell Yongjia to live a good life with her husband and don't mention divorcing him again. He was the husband chosen for her by her father, how can he be divorced?"
"By the way, the weather is getting colder now. Tell Yongjia to put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
The princess she held so dearly in her hands was overshadowed on her wedding day and became a laughing stock in the capital. How could this be!
"Wait a moment. If we, mother and daughter, were to end up in this situation, I will never forgive that Jiang family."
Concubine Li twisted the Buddhist beads, and a sinister look flashed in her eyes.
At dusk, a palace maid came in hurriedly to report to Concubine Li and handed her a letter.
Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Concubine Li panicked instantly and burned the letter, muttering, "I want to see His Majesty!"
Her nephew Yuan Chuliang was arrested by the Grand Marshal's Office and taken to the prison for interrogation. If he is not careful, he will give Yongjia away.
What they did at the military post was exposed.
…
The next day at noon, after lunch, Jiang Qingyao got on a carriage and left the house, heading for Fenglai Teahouse.
In the private room.
"What advice does the little god of wealth have?" Third cousin Xue Jingwen joked.
Every time Qiqi comes to see him, it's always good news.
"Are you suggesting that we serve the Crown Prince again?"
"Qiqi, now that you've secured the support of the most powerful, why worry about the oppression of powerful people in the future?"
My third cousin is a chatterbox and very noisy.
Jiang Qingyao rubbed his temples and said, "You are right, Marquis Anguo is indeed reliable."
Xue Jingwen chuckled: "More than reliable, my cousin's husband has the word 'power' written all over him."
Now those competitors dare not use underhanded tactics to compete with them viciously.
When dealing with people in the government office, they no longer had the arrogant and domineering attitude they used to have. Instead, they were much more respectful and polite.
The Xue family knew very well that this was all thanks to the Marquis of Anguo.
Those who are powerful do not dare to look down on their merchants at will.
Jiang Qingyao whispered, "The Marquis is on the side of the Crown Prince and supports the orthodox. The Xue family does the same. We are in the same camp."
"As one prospers, we all prosper; as one suffers, we all suffer. Only when the Crown Prince's position is secure will our lives get better and better."
"You are right. I do want to help the prince."
She waved to Xue Jingwen, and Xue Jingwen understood and moved his head closer.
Jiang Qingyao asked the Xue family to make arrangements in advance, this time, targeting the epidemic in Fuzhou in late winter!
Xue Jingwen was shocked after hearing this. Could the Xue Company really be world-famous? Was the Crown Prince so much more powerful than the other princes? Was this a grand plan for the country and the people?
…
Over there, Concubine Li made a fuss, and Emperor Jinde felt pity for her and summoned her in.
Her nephew Yuan Chuliang is the legitimate son of Minister of War Yuan Zhengren and also the only son of her sister.
If anything happens to my nephew, my sister will not be able to survive.
This time, Yuan Chuliang was arrested by people from the Grand Marshal's Office. The Grand Marshal's Office was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and was directly responsible to the emperor. The Minister of War had no idea what to do.
Concubine Li could only plead with Emperor Jinde to show mercy and let Yuan Chuliang go.
