Chapter 308 The Prince is Wise and Powerful
These harsh words accompanied by bright red blood were really lethal, and scared everyone so much that they stood still and didn't dare to move.
"Haha, hahahaha..." Ling Anli poked his neck and stood up from the ground, looking at Qin Qingyao and laughing like Snow White's stepmother.
"Qin Qingyao, if I die, how will you explain to the world your jealous nature and your desire to monopolize Prince Wu Ling, leading to the death of the princess?"
"When the time comes, you will definitely be buried with me, and Dugu Yu will definitely have a new princess. This princess doesn't care, but I don't know if you can rest in peace!"
To be honest, when Qin Qingyao looked at the golden hairpin that Ling Anli was pointing at around her neck, she really wanted to give her a push and help her reach paradise sooner.
Dugu Yu seemed to see through her thoughts and pulled her away. The servants soon dispersed, leaving Ling Anli alone in the empty living room, crying and telling herself that she had won.
"Dugu Yu, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Dugu Yu, "Ling Anli can't die here."
"None of my business!"
"If she dies, everyone will think you forced her to death. Even if you don't have to pay with your life, you will have to spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Dugu Yu, are you concerned about me?"
Dugu Yu finally stopped and looked back at her, "Can you be serious?"
"Then can you be honest? Would it kill me to admit that you care?"
Dugu Yu snorted coldly, "I just don't want to cause any more trouble. If I must have a nasty person around, you're enough. I'm used to it anyway!"
Qin Qingyao suppressed her laughter, looked at her hand which was still tightly held by Dugu Yu, and muttered to herself.
Dugu Yu, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm calculating that from the day you lost your memory until now, it's only been eight days since you got used to me being around?"
Although the words "having you is enough for me" sounded so disgusting, she could still accept it as a love word.
Dugu Yu frowned and pursed his lips, unable to describe the strange feeling in his heart, and then let go of Qin Qingyao's hand.
But even after letting go, his palm was not empty. Qin Qingyao took the initiative to hold his hand, and hugged his arm and leaned on his arm.
Dugu Yu symbolically moved his arms, as if trying to push Qin Qingyao away, but failed, so he accepted his fate.
Ling Anli stayed in the palace and no one cared about her anymore. She had her own people to serve her anyway, so she didn't need anyone else.
Instead, Xin'er came to report to Qin Qingyao that there was no one at Princess Anli's house last night and she slept alone.
Qin Qingyao shook her head, indicating that she was not interested. After all, she already knew this was the case. Unless Ling Anli's own guards dared to touch her, no man in the palace would climb into her bed.
During lunch, Dugu Yu entered the restaurant and found two chairs at the table. He just glanced at them without saying anything and sat down in the main seat.
Qin Qingyao sat on the other side without any surprise, which shows that this must have been her own order.
"Didn't you insist on having only one chair at the table this morning? Now we can sit separately? You've changed your expression so quickly."
"She must be angry about Ling Anli's situation. She pretends to be calm, but she's clearly upset inside."
"Are you protesting me? Should we add an extra bed instead of a chair? It seems like Qin Qingyao is the only one who can do something like forbidding people from getting on the bed!"
"Hmph, at worst I can sleep in the study. It's quieter there, and no one's crowding me!"
While Dugu Yu was still blabbering in his head, Qin Qingyao had already put down his bowl and chopsticks, "I'm done, enjoy your meal, Your Highness!"
After saying that, she picked up her skirt and left. Dugu Yu looked at the big bowl of rice that he hadn't even taken a bite of, and suddenly felt that he had no appetite.
Then he asked the maid, "Did the princess ask you to bring in this chair?"
"yes."
"What did she say?"
"The princess said that since the prince is not used to it, there is no need to force it. If you don't want the two chairs anymore, just tell the servants to move them away!"
Dugu Yu put down his chopsticks heavily, "If she wants it, then she can have it. Why did you say you didn't have it when I asked you to move in? All your monthly salary will be deducted!"
After saying that, he stood up and went to the study, leaving the two little maids kneeling on the ground trembling. After careful calculation, it seemed that the bonus given by the princess was much more than the monthly salary. It was a false alarm...
Dugu Yu was in a very upset mood. Thinking that Ling Anli was now in a corner of the palace, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had lice on his body.
I looked here and there on the bookshelf, but couldn't find any books I wanted to read. Finally, I found an unfamiliar wooden box in the secret compartment where I kept my valuables.
When I opened it, I saw two identical butterfly jade pendants inside.
Judging from its quality, it must be very valuable, but shouldn't something like this be kept in the warehouse? Why is he hiding it so tightly?
"Jinghan, come in."
"I am here, what are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Dugu Yu opened the box and handed it to Zhao Jinghan. "What is this?"
"This... is the engagement token you gave to the princess."
"A token of trust? Wasn't it given to Ling Anli?"
"You've got it back."
"I gave it to someone and now I want it back?"
Zhao Jinghan recalled carefully, "Actually, it was like this..."
Dugu Yu listened carefully and summarized, "So I took it out without knowing anything about it, and I didn't give it to Ling Anli, but brought it back directly?"
Zhao Jinghan, "Strictly speaking, you have already given it away, but Princess Anli has not had the time to take it away yet."
"Shut up."
"yes."
Anyway, he didn't give it to me at all! Fortunately, Yang Tingxiao said it as if he was deliberately using this thing to humiliate the old lady of the Qin family. He knew that he would never do such a tasteless thing!
"It's something for Qin Qingyao, why is it still with me?"
"The princess put it in the storeroom, and you took it out. After returning from Prince Yi's mansion, you put it away carefully."
Why was something of such significance stuffed into the warehouse, placed among all that jumbled stuff? Qin Qingyao probably didn't care about the token he had given her at all!
How outrageous!
"I understand. Go ahead."
"yes."
"etc."
Zhao Jinghan: “…”
My subordinates haven't left yet.
"Go and call the butler for me."
"yes!"
After the butler arrived, Dugu Yu gave him an important task, "Do you know how many young ladies from official families in this city are still unmarried, aged between fourteen and twenty?"
The housekeeper sweatdropped, "I... am not very clear."
"If you don't know, ask!"
"Yes, yes, may I ask you, Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Write me twenty invitations right away, saying that the princess is deeply saddened by the passing of the old lady, and that this prince is deeply distressed, so he invites them to the palace to chat with the princess and liven things up. Understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Also, when those people arrive, let them know that Ling Anli ran away from home because of a quarrel with Prince Yi and refused to return. The prince and the princess are caught in the middle and are in a dilemma. In addition, the prince has moved out to avoid suspicion. Do you understand?"
The butler nodded hurriedly, "I understand, but Your Majesty, do you really want to live outside?"
If he didn't stay outside, was he going to wait for Qin Qingyao to kick him out of bed? Wishful thinking!
"Of course! I'll be leaving right away!"
"Then I will prepare the invitations right now."
Time was urgent, so the housekeeper went back to think about the name list and prepare the invitations seriously. Dugu Yu, who had been clamoring to leave immediately, waited until dinner time before going out.
He thought the housekeeper would tell Qin Qingyao that he was going to "run away from home". After all, the entire palace was now full of her "running dogs" who knew how to tell tales all day long.
But Qin Qingyao didn't come to keep him, and didn't even ask him where he was going. It must be that the housekeeper forgot to tell him. How stupid!
Qin Qingyao only realized Dugu Yu was not at home when she was having dinner. "Where is the prince?"
"The prince said that he had to avoid suspicion since Princess Anli was living here, so he temporarily moved out. As for where exactly he went, the prince did not say."
Qin Qingyao was very supportive and touched by Dugu Yu's determination to avoid Ling Anli. But where could he go if he lived outside? Would he go to find Murong Ce?
Dugu Yu didn't go looking for Murong Ce, but wandered to the gate of the Qin family. It was said that before he lost his memory, he called Qin Shangshu "Dad"...
Look at how shameless Prince Yi is in helping his daughter, even going so far as to sever the father-daughter relationship. It's truly remarkable. Shouldn't Minister Qin also come out and take a look?
He doesn't have parents, but Qin Qingyao does!
The housekeeper prepared twenty invitations and sent them out before hurriedly telling Qin Qingyao.
After all, there would be at least a dozen people coming with twenty invitations. In such a short time, preparing to receive that group of young ladies, making all the arrangements and purchases, and arranging servants, etc., must be approved by the princess.
Qin Qingyao really didn't expect that Dugu Yu would arrange this.
Ling Anli can be shameless in the Wuling Palace, but if she can continue to throw a tantrum in front of a dozen or twenty noble ladies, and say with certainty that Dugu Yu slept with her, then Qin Qingyao will really respect her as a hero!
Dugu Yu’s trick is brilliant!
"What kind of magical thing is this Thousand Days of Drunk? Why do I feel like your prince is getting smarter and smarter?"
Butler: The prince is wise and powerful!
After Ling Anli returned to Qinfang Garden, she stayed at home obediently. A little impatience can ruin a big plan, and she would never give Qin Qingyao any evidence to drive her out!
Now, for her, as long as she can stay, it will be a victory. It won’t take long. As long as she stays here for three to five days, everyone will believe that she is King Wu Ling’s woman. Then Dugu Yu will have to accept it even if he doesn’t want to!
As for Qin Qingyao, if she doesn’t accept it, she can just die!
