Ling Jingxuan stood aside, watching the prince's stern words and sad face, as if he couldn't wait to catch Lin Xiafeng and punish him. She felt really sorry for Lin Xiafeng.
He always thought she was an extremely intelligent girl, so why did she choose such a man?
Today the emperor's decision on the matter has been made, and the truth has been revealed. Lin Xiafeng is about to be drowned in the people's saliva, but the prince turns a blind eye and only wants to investigate and win over Wu Shifeng.
At the Lin residence, the eldest lady came to educate her in an arrogant manner early in the morning, and she spoke with a lot of sarcasm, criticism and criticism, and she felt very happy.
However, Lin Xiafeng remained as still as a mountain throughout the whole process, without even frowning, as if the eldest lady was just air.
After the people left, Caiwei was so heartbroken that she almost cried.
"Miss, if you're upset, just speak up. Don't keep it to yourself. Princess Wu Ling deserves to die. She's the one who's been causing all this trouble. Why are those people putting the blame on you?"
Lin Xiafeng snorted coldly. She admitted that Qin Qingyao deserved to die, but she could only blame herself for not being as skilled as others.
She first wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make all the people sing praises to Prince Wu Ling and praise him to the sky, so as to sow discord between the emperor and the generals and Prince Wu Ling's mansion.
But she lost because she was not as shameless as Qin Qingyao, not as bold as Qin Qingyao, and not as good at manipulating people's hearts!
Qin Qingyao is really not afraid of death as he shouted in public that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to fight for power!
Caiwei saw that Lin Xiafeng was silent and became more and more anxious. "Miss, everyone outside is misunderstanding you now. What should we do?"
"It's nothing to worry about. People are forgetful. Once something else happens, they'll forget who I am. Don't worry, there's nothing to be alarmed about."
Caiwei was truly in awe of her young lady's calmness and strong heart. How could she remain calm even when being spat at?
Lin Xiafeng just smiled and said, "What's the big deal about being spitted on?"
"Do you know what it feels like to be choked by your own blood, to watch your own blood pour out of your chest, to clearly feel your veins emptying, your body temperature disappearing, your body gradually becoming stiff, and then to darkness and silence between heaven and earth?"
Caiwei hugged her arms and felt a chill down her spine. "Miss, what are you talking about?"
"I know! Haha, I know, and I will never forget it!"
"Compared to this, everything else is nothing, nothing at all! I'm just not cruel enough, that's all!"
From the beginning, he wanted to get the secret order of the Yanling Army to cause trouble, but ended up killing Baiji. Later, he wanted to steal the military camp account book, making Dugu Yu and Ling Jingxuan suffer together. Now he is trying to use the people's opinions to praise and kill Dugu Yu.
Every move she made was to put the opponent to death, but she still felt that she was not as ruthless as Qin Qingyao. It must be said that Lin Xiafeng really had a deep misunderstanding of the word "ruthless".
She repeatedly took the initiative to cause trouble, which completely angered Qin Qingyao. Lin Xiafeng obviously wanted to kill Dugu Yu. How could she just passively defend herself without fighting back!
Do you really think I'm made of clay?
When Qin Qingyao was preparing to exchange gifts with Lin Xiafeng and expose the true identities of Zheng Mingxuan and the other four, Dugu Yu was on vacation.
"Is the Emperor so easy to talk to? Can he just give us a holiday?"
Dugu Yu, "What are you talking about? Fifty thousand soldiers in exchange for three days of leave, and you still say he's easy to talk to?"
Hmm... when I think about it, the emperor is indeed very stingy!
Qin Qingyao would of course spend the hard-earned vacation time with her husband and not use it to cause trouble.
It just so happened that the people were condemning Lin Xiafeng severely these days, and she also stayed at home and didn't go out. When she wasn't causing trouble, she felt really relaxed both physically and mentally!
Dugu Yu couldn't take Qin Qingyao too far, so he took her for a walk around Yulin City and taught her how to ride a horse. Although she couldn't ride fast, at least she wouldn't fall off when she was alone.
By the way, he also saw what Qin Qingyao said, that lotus flowers really come in many colors and even many shapes, not just pink.
The two of them had so much fun that they didn't want to leave, and the three-day vacation was gone in a flash.
Qin Qingyao lingered in the simple tree house Dugu Yu had built, refusing to leave. With an intoxicated look on her face, she said, "This life is truly blissful, like a god's. Husband, why don't you just quit being an official?"
Dugu Yu, "Okay."
Qin Qingyao twitched the corners of his mouth. He answered so quickly, without even thinking. It was too perfunctory!
She suspected that Dugu Yu might not have heard what she said clearly, "You are not sincere!"
Dugu Yu looked helpless, "Then how can I show my sincerity? How about I return another 100,000 troops to the Emperor in exchange for a few days of vacation?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is this how you wield military power?"
Dugu Yu spread his hands and said, "Then I really don't know how to prove my sincerity."
Qin Qingyao sat up and pointed at her face. Dugu Yu understood and leaned over to kiss her.
"Hahahaha, I feel your sincerity!" After saying that, she hugged Dugu Yu's neck and bit his lips, "Sweet!"
The two of them played outside for three days, but the pace of life in Yulin City was still very busy.
As soon as the two of them returned to the palace, Zhao Jinghan came to report with a serious expression.
"The day before yesterday, an assassin entered the Crown Prince's palace. The Crown Prince was not seriously injured, but the second son of the Qin family was seriously injured."
"What did you say?"
As soon as Qin Qingyao spoke, Dugu Yu's first reaction was to quickly pull her into his arms, as if he was afraid that she would run out and fight someone.
"Qingqing, don't worry. We'll go back to see your second brother later, okay?"
After comforting Qin Qingyao, he asked Zhao Jinghan, "Have you found out? Who did it?"
"No, only the Crown Prince and Qin Bandu were in the palace at the time. The assassin disappeared after injuring someone, and the palace guards didn't catch him."
Qin Qingyao sneered, "Doesn't the Crown Prince stay in the Eastern Palace all day, refusing to leave? Did he come out to the temporary palace that day specifically to seek death?"
Back then, she had asked the Imperial Tutor to persuade the Crown Prince to go out more often. How many times had he actually gone out? Now, he was willing to walk into someone else's arms!
Her words made Zhao Jinghan stunned for a moment, then he continued, "It is said that although the assassin was not caught, the guards found a token belonging to the guards of Prince Duan's Mansion at the place where the assassin disappeared."
"When the prince was tracking down the token, he discovered that its owner was already dead. The time of death was around the same time the prince was assassinated; no one knew if it was before or after."
Qin Qingyao, "Humph, clumsy, childish!"
"Who are you talking about, Qingqing?"
"Who else can I blame? Of course, the idiot who wants to put the blame on Prince Duan! How could Prince Duan use such crude and clumsy tactics?"
Sending his own palace guards to assassinate him was already unreasonable, but he also left the token behind? And was it found out that he killed people to silence them? He was just coaxing the children!
Dugu Yu frowned, not knowing what to say. Wasn't Qin Qingyao too unreasonable to help his relatives?
When I hated Ling Jingxuan before, no matter what bad things happened, my first reaction was that it was definitely Ling Jingxuan who did it.
Now that she doesn't hate him anymore, even if there is evidence, she can just not investigate or ask, and say that someone must have framed him?
But thinking about it carefully, Qin Qingyao had never wronged Ling Jingxuan before, and she probably didn't trust him wrongly this time.
How could Ling Jingxuan possibly assassinate the prince under such circumstances?
Even if he really wanted to assassinate him, how could he send only one person? How could he injure Qin Yuelu and then run away when the prince was unharmed?
Is this just a joke? It's more like they're going there specifically to assassinate Qin Yuelu!
Zhao Jinghan said, "In short, the relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Duan is tense. Many ministers in the court have requested that Prince Duan be taken to the Imperial Clan Court for a thorough interrogation to get to the bottom of this matter."
"The Emperor was furious. Although he didn't arrest Prince Duan, he had him confined to the palace to reflect on his mistakes."
Qin Qingyao twitched her lips. "Why does the Emperor like to send people back home to reflect on their mistakes so much?"
Dugu Yu, "Perhaps it's only when Prince Duan is not present that the ministers can speak freely."
Qin Qingyao said, "So, the Emperor also doubts Prince Duan? He really doesn't know his own son well enough."
"So what if he knows? He is the emperor. When he makes judgments, it's not about trust or distrust, it's about evidence."
The current situation is that there is no evidence, only a token.
After listening to Zhao Jinghan's report, the two hurriedly washed, changed clothes and went to Qin's house.
Qin Yuelu's injury was much more serious than Qin Qingyao had imagined. His left thigh was slashed so hard that it almost hit the bone.
Because of excessive blood loss, he has been in a coma. He has been lying in bed for two days and has not yet woken up. He is also frighteningly pale.
"Second brother..."
When Qin Qingyao saw Qin Yuelu's miserable appearance, tears started to fall from her eyes. How much blood had he shed?
"Oh!" Minister Qin sighed, his eyes dark circles. After not seeing him for three days, he already had a beard all over his face and looked as if he had aged ten years.
Qin Qingyao looked at Qin Yuelu's appearance, and her anger grew more and more intense. But her father kept reporting to Dugu Yu, saying that fortunately the prince was fine, and how much the prince cared about her second brother.
She was really furious!
"That's enough, Dad! I just don't believe you can't see anything fishy about this! I told my second brother to leave the East Palace a long time ago, why didn't you listen to me!"
"The Crown Prince used to be indifferent to my second brother, trapping him until he was needed, but now he's using him as a shield to block a knife. He's your own son, don't you feel bad for him?"
"Don't you see what kind of person the prince is? Do you really need him to kill the entire Qin family before you turn back?"
