Chapter 265: Still Crying at Such an Age
It is true that Dugu Yu transferred Qin Yuelin to the Yanling Army, but not many people knew about this, and no one spread it to Fenghuaxueyue. Lin Xiafeng learned about it from Ling Jingyue.
The prince thought that Qin Yuelin was injured and could not participate in the competition in the training ground, so he could not be promoted normally. So he went to find General Yang and asked General Yang to recruit Qin Yuelin under his command.
But just one year later, Qin Yuelin had already found a better partner without even saying hello? Even Yang Tingxiao hadn't mentioned it to him. This was simply outrageous!
These people, none of them take him, the crown prince, seriously?!
If General Yang knew about his thoughts, he would feel so wronged.
God knows, you are the crown prince, busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and planning important matters. Is it really necessary to notify you specifically about the transfer of a small lieutenant general?
There are so many people coming and going in the military camp, who knew you would care? You have never asked before!
Besides, King Wu Ling is Qin Yuelin's brother-in-law, and they are family. If King Wu Ling wants Qin Yuelin to come over, he must be willing to personally train him and entrust him with important tasks. He will definitely have a bright future.
This is a good thing for both the imperial court's military power and Qin Yuelin personally. General Yang has no reason to object or report it!
After all, General Yang had no idea what the prince was thinking about the Qin family!
Lin Xiafeng didn't care if the Crown Prince would be pissed off and continued, "Think about it. From the very beginning, Prince Wuling and His Royal Highness Prince Duan have been very close, like brothers. Ever since Qin Qingyao married him, he has never concealed his close relationship with the Qin family."
"And I also heard that Qin Qingyao has always had a close relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Duan. Just think about it, how could the Qin Mansion and the Wuling Palace not stand on the same front?"
"Since they are from the same family and faction, will they support you or Prince Duan?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has finally achieved today's success, suppressing the Duke of Duan who has always opposed you. Don't let this fail miserably at the hands of a small Qin family!"
After Lin Xiafeng's analysis, the prince felt that the Qin family was definitely the same kind of people as Dugu Yu, Ling Jingxuan and others!
Prince Wu Ling has always been helping Prince Duan, and he couldn't stand seeing him repeatedly standing up for Ling Jingxuan in the court!
At this time, the Qin family asked Qin Yuelu to leave the Eastern Palace, but let Qin Yuelin go to the Yanling Army. Isn't this attitude very obvious?
He had always thought that the father and his two sons were loyal to him, but it turned out that they were all wolves that could not afford to support a family. They stayed with him just to be spies for Ling Jingxuan!
"Damn it! I was deceived by that old guy for so many years!"
Lin Xiafeng gently held the Crown Prince's hand, his face full of tenderness and affection. "Prince, calm down. Minister Qin must be a veteran to have reached his current position."
"He is several decades older than you. It's not shameful to be deceived by him for a while. The important thing is that it's not too late to recognize their true colors now!"
Minister Qin is loyal to the crown prince, and Lin Xiafeng knows this better than anyone else, because Qin Yuelu and Minister Qin are both stubborn people, and both insist that the crown prince is the orthodox and the destined heir to the throne.
In the life when she died tragically, they did not rebel until the end and even helped the prince escape. The reason why they were not killed by Ling Jingxuan like other people who supported the prince was because of Qin Qingyao!
They were truly loyal to the prince, but also extremely cruel to her. That crazy woman Qin Qingyao blamed her for Dugu Yu's death.
The whole world thinks that she was the one who killed Dugu Yu. Haha, it's really funny. Could it be that she forced Dugu Yu to kill himself?
It was his own fault that he was stupid. He was so easily deceived and not as skilled as others, so he died. It had nothing to do with her!
She will never forget the persecution she suffered, and will never forgive the executioners whose hands are stained with her blood. They deserve to die, all of them!
One day, she would make them taste all the suffering she had experienced, one by one, and then send them to hell!
…
Qin Yuelu went to the palace to resign himself, and the news spread throughout Yulin City that day.
After leaving the prince, Qin Yuelu inexplicably felt relaxed both physically and mentally. Although his left leg was lame, he walked much more briskly than before.
He discovered that deep down in his heart, he didn't like the Eastern Palace at all and didn't like staying with the prince.
He actually likes to go out and have a look. He likes the lively and romantic atmosphere, so he went to read the posts by himself.
When Qin Qingyao and Dugu Yu returned to the Qin family, he had not returned yet.
Minister Qin was feeling a little melancholy, and he didn't even smile when he saw Dugu Yu.
"Dad, what's wrong with my second brother's leg?"
When I visited him before, he was clearly fine, so how come he became so seriously lame that he will be crippled for life!
Minister Qin said angrily, "How dare you ask? Weren't you the one who was urging him to leave the Eastern Palace? Are you satisfied now?"
Qin Qingyao, "..."
Mrs. Qin quickly came over and pulled her husband, "Why are you talking to the child?"
After that, he comforted Qin Qingyao, "Your father is just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. He's unhappy and takes it out on everyone he catches. This is not your fault, it has nothing to do with you!"
Qin Qingyao wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry at all in front of her parents. Although her father's words were spoken in anger, the message was enough.
Qin Yuelu really did deliberately make himself a cripple just to leave the prince.
The fact that she was holding back her tears made Dugu Yu feel even more distressed and uncomfortable than if she had cried directly. However, the one who was being mean to her was her own father, and he couldn't help but curse back. He could only wait until Minister Qin and his wife left and comfort her himself.
"Don't be sad, Dad just didn't think clearly at the moment. He loves you so much, he won't really blame you."
"But I blame myself. I always told him to leave, but why didn't I help him find a way to leave? It's all my fault that my second brother became a cripple."
As soon as her parents left, Qin Qingyao lay on Dugu Yu's chest and cried uncontrollably. If she had been more careful and thought more about her second brother, would he not have hurt himself?
Dugu Yu hugged her and patted her back gently, "But what can you think of?"
"If your second brother goes to talk to the Crown Prince himself, no matter what excuse he makes, the Crown Prince will definitely not let him go at this critical moment."
"If he doesn't have irreconcilable reasons, even if he bypasses the Crown Prince to go to the Emperor, the Emperor will only think he's disrespectful to the Crown Prince and leave him to the Crown Prince to deal with. By then, not only will he suffer, but he might not even be able to escape!"
After all, the emperor has already let the prince take charge of state affairs for a day, so why would he care about his own study partner's trivial matters!
If Imperial Physician Zhao had not said that Qin Yuelu would be disabled for life but that he could still be cured, the Emperor would never have agreed to Qin Yuelu leaving the Eastern Palace in order to demonstrate his benevolence.
At most, we can give him unlimited leave and let him go back to recuperate. He can come back when he is well again.
If that were the case, Qin Yuelu would have no choice but to stay at home pretending to be sick and not even be able to leave the house. How uncomfortable would that be?
A lame leg was the price Qin Yuelu paid, but it was a thousand times better than losing his freedom and being trapped as a pawn, or than having his life killed or being controlled and threatened by others.
Dugu Yu felt that a reasonable person like Qin Yuelu must have thought this through clearly before he took action against him.
He must feel that this price is worth it.
Minister Qin was furious, Qin Qingyao's eyes were swollen from crying, but Qin Yuelu was reading the romantic posts and was grinning from ear to ear.
Others always think he is a nerd, but in fact the reason he is a nerd is because there is really no one in the East Palace to talk to.
Everyone is pretending and hiding things, so he can only refrain from saying what he shouldn't say and refrain from asking what he shouldn't ask.
When he arrived at Fenghuaxueyue, he was no longer bound by his status as the prince's companion, and he didn't have to worry about his words and actions embarrassing the prince. He could finally watch whatever he wanted, say whatever he wanted, and discuss issues enthusiastically with a group of strangers.
If the eldest son hadn't come up to remind him, he wouldn't have thought of going home until it was dark.
On the way home, he was still reluctant to leave and thought that he must go to Fenghuaxueyue again tomorrow. It was really a treasure there!
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the atmosphere in my home was even heavier than when I was visiting the graves.
"What's going on? What happened in the mansion?"
"Replying to Second Young Master, Prince Wu Ling and his wife came today. It seems that the princess had an argument with the master, and the master scolded her and made her cry."
"Little sister cried because of dad's scolding?"
When Qin Yuelu walked into the living room, he found that it was like a trial in three courts. Even his eldest brother had returned, but Qin Yuelin was missing.
"Father, mother, prince, elder brother, younger sister, what are you doing?"
"Second brother..."
When Qin Qingyao saw Qin Yuelu coming back, she rushed towards him. Seeing his limping left leg, her heart ached as if it was cut by a knife.
Qin Yuelu smiled and patted Qin Qingyao on the back, "What's wrong? You're such a grown-up, why are you still crying?"
Qin Qingyao was so angry at him, "Who is smiling at you? Why are you hurting yourself?"
Qin Yuelu sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched Qin Qingyao's face, "I didn't hurt myself."
"I've been in the Eastern Palace for eleven years, and I've never felt as happy and relaxed as I do today. I don't like it there. I'm very unhappy there. I have a lot of knowledge, but I have no place to use it. I don't even have anyone to talk to."
"I didn't realize before that I didn't like The East Palace, because I was used to it, used to that kind of repression, to the life of suppressing my emotions and living like a zombie. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it."
"But as soon as I left today, I realized I'm not that kind of person. I don't just like reading books by myself. I also like discussing things with others. I don't like those constraints and shackles. I like this kind of freedom."
