"Since Lord Yuan is so loyal, I will grant your wish. Don't worry, your wives, concubines, and children will soon be with you."
Yuan Jinghe's eyes widened in disbelief. "Prince Wu Ling... you... how could you kill innocent people so recklessly? How have my children ever offended you?"
"Killing innocent people? Offending? I, Dugu Yu, have killed tens of thousands of people in my life. Do I need a reason?"
After Dugu Yu finished speaking, he grabbed Yuan Jinghe's neck through the cell door and lifted him up from the ground.
Yuan Jinghe stuck out his tongue, his eyes bulged, his face full of fear of death.
"My Lord, what are you doing?"
Qin Yuefeng came over and was startled, and quickly asked Dugu Yu to let go.
After Dugu Yu let go of his hand, Yuan Jinghe fainted on the ground. Qin Yuefeng called for people to go in and rescue him while pulling Dugu Yu out of the cell.
"Your Highness, why did you get angry over such a despicable villain? It's not worth it to incur the Emperor's blame. Don't worry, I will keep him in prison for a few more years and he won't be released easily!"
He who slanders the princes and deceives the emperor deserves the death penalty, but he must go through legal procedures.
This is not a battlefield. Yuan Jinghe was an official appointed by the imperial court after all. Dugu Yu could never kill anyone casually.
Dugu Yu remained silent, without even having to put on any expression. The murderous aura all over his body was enough to scare people to death.
Yuan Jinghe would rather offend him, or even die with his entire family, than reveal who the person behind the scenes is. If you look around, you can count such people in the world on your five fingers!
He walked all the way back to the palace. Only when he saw Qin Qingyao after entering the door did the murderous aura in his body suddenly burst like a bubble and shattered.
Qin Qingyao dived into Dugu Yu's arms, touching and scratching him here and there, secretly taking advantage of him, "Husband, are you in a bad mood? What happened at the court this morning?"
"The Emperor has already agreed to reduce the taxes for the three affected provinces by half next year."
"oh."
Dugu Yu, "Are you not angry?"
"Why am I angry?"
If the tax is really reduced or exempted for the common people, it is a good thing. If it is embezzled by others, it means that the common people will not go hungry, which is not a bad thing.
As for where the food went, she had no control over it.
Besides, the plot is exactly the same as that in the original novel. It was originally written to highlight that Prince Duan is kind-hearted and cares about the world, and that the Crown Prince is a fool who is not qualified to be the crown prince.
The prince is indeed an idiot, why should she be angry?
Dugu Yu felt that he really couldn't understand Qin Qingyao, this magical creature. When he felt that he couldn't find any point that could make her angry, she would jump up and down in anger.
When he thought she would be angry, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it..."
The next day, after lunch, Dugu Yu did not accompany Qin Qingyao for a walk. He said he was going to the study. Qin Qingyao went to the garden by herself. The maple leaves in the garden were all red, so beautiful.
Moreover, the begonia that was just a tiny bud last time I saw it has now bloomed. There are only five flowers, but they are bright red and look very beautiful.
Qin Qingyao was so excited that she wanted to pull Dugu Yu over to see what was going on. She ran to the courtyard outside the study and asked someone to go in and call Dugu Yu, but the gatekeeper said, "The prince is meeting guests inside and cannot be disturbed."
"Meeting a guest? Who? When did you come? How come I don't know?"
"It's Prince Duan and the Sixth Miss from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They just arrived."
"Who are you talking about Prince Duan and?"
"The Sixth Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Xiafeng."
Qin Qingyao was really furious. These two people were incredible. Her husband finally stayed at home obediently and didn't go to Wangjiang Tower to fool around with them, but he was tricked by them. Yet, these two people even dared to follow him home!
Those two people who come here for no reason, what good is it for them to come together to find Dugu Yuneng? They must be here to become vampires again!
Qin Qingyao was so angry that she had no time to sort out the plot and see what Ling Jingxuan had to do that required Dugu Yu to stand up for him.
She pushed open the doorkeeper Xiao Si and rushed into Dugu Yu's study for the first time after being married to the palace for more than two months.
With a "bang", Qin Qingyao kicked the door open.
Dugu Yu was stunned for a moment. Seeing Qin Qingyao's furious face, his heart suddenly tightened. He felt a sense of helplessness that he had never experienced before. It was like a thief being caught in the act.
But he obviously didn't do anything bad?!
Prince Duan frowned slightly, his face showing impatience and hidden anger, his face clearly saying, "Where did this dog slave come from who doesn't know the rules? Someone drag him out and chop him off."
Lin Xiafeng, on the other hand, didn't even smile. He just glanced at Qin Qingyao and said to Dugu Yu, "Brother Dugu, the princess might have something to ask you. How about Prince Duan and I step aside for a while?"
He is so gentle, considerate and understanding.
"Miss Lin, even if you don't greet or bow when you see me, you should at least stand up from your chair and show us the manners and etiquette you've learned for over a decade, right?"
"What's wrong? Can't you stand up even if your butt is heavy? Or is it because the chairs in Prince Wuling's mansion are too comfortable to sit on and you're stuck to them?"
When Qin Qingyao said this, Lin Xiafeng instantly stopped smiling. She was a person with strong character, and she couldn't do such a thing as to curry favor with someone who was not very popular, especially with an insignificant supporting role like Qin Qingyao!
She stood up, bowed slightly and saluted, "Greetings, Princess Wu Ling!"
"Miss Lin walked into the gate of Prince Wuling's mansion without even saying hello to me, the princess, and went straight into the prince's study. What's going on? Does she look down on me, the princess, or is there something she wants to discuss secretly?"
Prince Duan's face was already so black that ink could drip out of it. "Princess Wu Ling, watch your words. I'm still here!"
Qin Qingyao smiled brightly, "Oh, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is here too. Why, just because you're here, I can't teach Miss Lin a lesson? Why? What's your relationship?"
Prince Duan: “…”
Dugu Yu: "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, we can talk later. I am..."
"Dugu Yu, shut up!"
Although Qin Qingyao could be sarcastic when she was talking to Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng just now, she was really filled with anger and was about to collapse when facing Dugu Yu.
"We've been married for so long, and you said the study was your office and wouldn't let me in. Have I ever violated that rule once?"
"Why is it that an outsider like Lin Xiafeng can enter a place where I'm not allowed to enter? What's going on? Are His Royal Highness Prince Wu Ling and the Sixth Miss of the Prime Minister's family working together? Are they discussing national affairs? Or the people's livelihood?"
"So Miss Lin Liu is so resourceful and ambitious. You're so happy chatting with the two princes behind closed doors. Are you afraid that the world doesn't know that the combined power of your three families is enough to usurp the throne?"
Prince Duan's heart suddenly became alarmed, and all the pores in his body seemed to be exploding. Some things are tacitly understood by everyone, but the only one in the world who dared to shout at the top of his voice was the ignorant Qin Qingyao.
"Princess Wu Ling, stop talking nonsense!"
Prince Duan roared with majestic and domineering aura. Qin Qingyao also glared at him with a dark face, not showing any weakness. "Your Highness Prince Duan, do you know what you look like now?"
"You're like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Every bristle on your body is roaring with your ambition. So, you dare not take responsibility for what you have done?"
"I thought you were so great, but you're just a hypocritical wuwuwu..."
Dugu Yu covered Qin Qingyao's mouth and pushed her out of the study, "You go back to your room first, I..."
"Dugu Yu, you idiot! You actually protected those two and pushed me out. Then you'll just have to live with them from now on. I wish you three a happy marriage! Forever!"
Qin Qingyao said this and turned away.
Dugu Yu was completely confused. What kind of nonsense was this crazy woman saying? How could three people live happily together forever?
"Prince Duan, Miss Lin, I'm sorry, the princess..."
"It's alright, Brother Dugu. What the princess said is not entirely unreasonable. It was Feng'er who was rude today, which made the princess angry. I will not bother you for now. I will come and apologize to the princess another day."
Prince Duan quickly stopped Lin Xiafeng, "Alright, that crazy woman has already caused Dugu a lot of headaches, why are you bothering with her? She's so rude and disrespectful, she's just jealous and crazy, she's lost all her mind. Don't let her ruin the harmony between you and Dugu."
Dugu Yu stood aside and watched Prince Duan belittle Qin Qingyao to the point of being worthless in order to appease Lin Xiafeng.
He also felt that Qin Qingyao was sometimes crazy, and called her a crazy woman countless times in his heart, but when these three words came out of Prince Duan's mouth, it felt extremely harsh to him.
He knew very well how much Qin Qingyao hated Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng, and he knew very well that every time she saw or mentioned these two people, she never smiled.
But without letting her know, he still brought the two people into the palace and locked them in the study to talk, although they were indeed discussing serious matters.
But Qin Qingyao was right, it was indeed the three of them who did not respect her.
As a female member of the family, Lin Xiafeng didn't greet her as the hostess when she entered the house. What would outsiders think if the three of them were talking in the room together and it got out?
Qin Qingyao said that the three families together were enough to plot to usurp the throne. This was clearly a warning to him to keep his distance from Prince Duan.
She had told him many times, both explicitly and implicitly, to stay away from Prince Duan and that Prince Duan had big ambitions.
It was because he didn't listen, causing her to worry, that she was forced to shout out those outrageous words that could very well cost her her life in front of Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng today...
Although Lin Xiafeng cannot represent the Lin family at this time, as a woman, she has always been resourceful and concerned about world affairs, demonstrating extraordinary political skills.
This was something Dugu Yu admired very much in the past, and he still admired it now. However, it always felt a bit weird when the three of them were chatting together and excluded Qin Qingyao.
Since Lin Xiafeng is not here as the sixth daughter of the Prime Minister's family, then what is her identity?
Prince Duan’s counselor?
