Why is their husband so jealous? It seems that he really needs to be more restrained in the future and keep his distance from all male creatures. Otherwise, if he gets jealous, won't he be the one who suffers?
After finally coaxing her into submission, Qin Qingyao went back to the study to get busy. She said she was going to take Bai Zhi back to her room for a nap, but she whispered in her ear, "Go find Prince Duan right away and tell him to tear down all those small compartments in Wangjiang Tower immediately!"
"Killing Liu Shiyuan is useless. Lin Xiafeng even knows about it! If he doesn't prepare early, if Lin Xiafeng tells the prince, he'll be finished."
In fact, Qin Qingyao hadn't thought about those compartments before. It was only when Dugu Yu reminded her of Wangjiang Tower that she suddenly remembered this matter.
Prince Duan used to trust Lin Xiafeng so much. He only knew how many secrets he had in Lin Xiafeng's hands. Why didn't he take precautions and destroy the evidence now? Was he still waiting for Lin Xiafeng to help the Crown Prince deal with him?
Bai Zhi looked puzzled. "Princess, this is in your own room. Why are you whispering to me like this? Are you afraid those four secret guards will hear you? Don't you trust them?"
"Of course I don't trust them!"
Bai Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, "Then why do you..."
"Shh! Just keep it to yourself. Don't tell anyone about this, not even the prince. Just be careful when you speak next time."
"Yes, I understand. I will go find His Royal Highness Prince Duan right away."
"etc!"
"What's wrong?"
Qin Qingyao thought about it carefully. It would be too eye-catching to just let Bai Zhi go find Ling Jingxuan. If she became a target of gossip, wouldn't that just cause trouble for herself?
"Go to Fenghuaxueyue to find Xiao Tiantian. If he meets Prince Duan, tell him to tell him... 'Our princess wants to ask you why the private rooms in Wangjiang Tower are so soundproofed. We at Fengxuexueyue would like to learn from you.'"
Qin Qingyao nodded to herself after she finished speaking, "Well, that's what I said!"
"Okay, then I'll go."
"Bai Zhi..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I just want to remind you to be more careful in what you do and think twice before you speak. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I remember it."
Actually, Qin Qingyao wanted to remind Bai Zhi to tell Xiao Tiantian alone and not to tell others, such as the eldest son...
She had to admit that Hou Hongtu was actually a good person and his personality was very compatible with hers. Moreover, the eldest son had made an indelible contribution to Fenghuaxueyue's current success. He was the spokesperson and living signboard of Fenghuaxueyue!
But no matter how much she admired Hou Hongtu, or how deep their friendship was, it could not change the fact that he was the eldest son of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.
She only hoped that when the Crown Prince and Prince Duan broke the window paper, they could do it quickly and decisively, without dragging the battle out too long or too far, and without affecting others.
Otherwise, it will really be a fight to the death, and it is only a matter of time before she and Hou Hongtu fall out. They each serve their own masters and have no choice!
…
In a small courtyard at the end of Liuxiang Lane in the west of Yulin City, Lin Xiafeng pushed the door open with a pile of gifts, and looked at the boy who was sweating profusely from boxing with a smile.
"Dacheng, you're practicing martial arts again, and it seems like you've made great progress!"
When Mo Dacheng saw Lin Xiafeng, he retracted his fists and feet, and every pore in his body was clamoring with excitement, "Sister, you're here! You haven't come to see me for a long time."
"I'm sorry, I've been really busy lately. Something happened at home, so I really can't leave. How are you guys? Are you okay?"
Mo Dacheng asked with a worried look on his face, "Something happened at my sister's house? What happened? Is it serious? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Xiafeng wiped Mo Dacheng's sweat with a towel, looking relieved. "Don't worry, it's no big deal. You're still young. Just take care of yourself. I can protect myself."
Mo Dacheng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister. I am already a martial arts master. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I will help you beat him up!"
Lin Xiafeng was amused by him, but He Xiang snorted coldly, "Help the young lady beat her up? That person is in the Wuling Palace, the good guy in your eyes, Qin Qingyao. Go ahead and beat her up!"
Lin Xiafeng frowned in displeasure, "He Xiang, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you not to talk about this with Dacheng? He's still a child. The grudges between Princess Wuling and me have nothing to do with him."
Xiang He was so angry that her eyes turned red. "I just can't stand that Qin Qingyao is so cruel and ruthless and pretends to be a good person! Miss, you are always bullied by her because you are too kind!"
Lin Xiafeng had a helpless and bitter look on his face, but he tried to comfort He Xiang, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. If you can't afford to offend me, just avoid me."
Mo Dacheng clenched his fists, still a little bit unbelieving, "Is it really her again? Why would the princess bully my sister?"
"No, no one bullies me, don't worry..."
He Xiang pinched her waist with a look of resentment, "Let me tell you, Mo Dacheng, the good princess in your eyes actually drugged Prince Duan's fiancée and Miss Lin's second brother at the old princess dowager's birthday banquet, and even brought them both to the county prince's bed to commit adultery!"
"It's simply shameless, obscene, insidious and disgusting!"
Mo Dacheng widened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiafeng in disbelief, "Sister, is this true?"
Lin Xiafeng smiled and patted Mo Dacheng's shoulder, "No, you don't have to..."
"Miss!" He Xiang looked unconvinced. "I really don't know why you are still protecting Qin Qingyao at this time. Dacheng is not a child anymore. He has the ability to distinguish right from wrong!"
"You are harming him by always hiding things from him and coaxing him like this!"
Mo Dacheng's face was cold and he was furious. "Sister He Xiang, what do you know? Tell me!"
"What else could it be? It's still that Qin Qingyao who's always looking for more. When the Duan Prince liked the young lady, she openly seduced the Duan Prince and made things difficult for the young lady at every turn!"
"Later, she finally separated Prince Duan and the young lady. She hadn't been so proud for a few days when the Emperor arranged a marriage between Prince Duan and the young lady of the Ming family. Jealous as she was, she had such evil thoughts and did something so unjust!"
"She not only ruined Miss Ming, but also Young Master Lin and the young lady's family! Yesterday, Prime Minister Lin was punished by the Emperor and knelt outside the Meridian Gate for the entire morning. He was almost sunburned!"
Lin Xiafeng looked at He Xiang helplessly and said, "Okay, He Xiang, stop talking. It's not necessarily her who did it. We have no evidence."
"Who else could it be besides her? Who else would be so unwilling for Prince Duan to marry a concubine and yet always want to bring misfortune to the Lin family and you, young lady?"
"She simply harbors a grudge against Prince Wuling and His Royal Highness Prince Duan for having loved you before! You were already about to marry the Crown Prince, yet she still refused to let you go. Such a vicious woman deserves to go to hell!"
Mo Dacheng looked at Lin Xiafeng in shock, "King Wu Ling once loved you, sister?"
"Dacheng, don't listen to your sister Hexiang's nonsense. That's all old news. I have no intention of competing with Princess Wuling for anything. She misunderstands me now, but she will understand once I marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion."
These words may seem like advice, but they are actually a positive admission that everything He Xiang said is true.
Mo Dacheng looked at Lin Xiafeng's gentle and generous appearance, not caring about others at all, but felt even more aggrieved and sad for her in his heart, "So she really is such a beast in human form!"
"Haha," He Xiang sneered, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? I've served her for so many years, don't I know what kind of person she is? If it weren't for the young lady's rescue, I would have been killed by her long ago!"
Lin Xiafeng sighed softly and looked at Mo Dacheng with a loving face, "People are treacherous, it has always been like this. I don't want you to be involved in these disputes. I just want you to grow up happily."
"You are a skilled martial artist with a chivalrous spirit. In the future, if you venture out into the martial arts world and become a hero who fights against the strong and helps the weak, you will surely achieve great things and be praised by the people!"
"If I can't even protect you, my sister, how can I be a hero who fights against the strong and helps the weak?"
Lin Xiafeng's face was filled with helplessness, as if she really couldn't do anything to you. "Okay, okay, sister, when you grow up and have your own power, you can protect me, okay?"
Power? Yes, his sister is always surrounded by princes, nobles, and dignitaries. How can he, an ordinary citizen, protect his sister with his bare hands?
He needs power! So those people...
Lin Xiafeng left the yard and finally felt better. It seemed that He Xiang was not completely useless. Mo Dacheng had started to be obedient now and he really did not let her down!
Haha, that's how it should be! If that bitch Qin Qingyao hadn't intervened, how could Luo Haode have confessed his crime? Why did she have to go through so much trouble and take such a detour?
Luo Haode left such a huge martial arts force to Mo Dacheng, but that idiot didn't want it!
In her previous life, she ignored Mo Dacheng and let him live his life at will, wasting such a good bargaining chip. If she had the chance to do it all over again, she would never be so stupid again!
When Mo Dacheng returns to me with the power left to him by his biological father, Qin Qingyao, just wait for this surprise!
…
On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, the emperor severely criticized Lord Ming and Prime Minister Lin for their poor parenting skills at the morning court. He fined Prime Minister Lin a year's salary and asked him to go home and reflect on his mistakes for a month.
Then, Ming Yuli was transferred to Huku Province, the northernmost province of Zhaoling State, to serve as governor.
The Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate of the current dynasty was of the first rank and served the emperor, while the Governor-General of a province was of the second rank. Although it was only a one-level downgrade, the difference in their situations was huge.
The northern border is remote, with severe cold all year round, scarce crops, and difficult life. It also requires defense against foreign invasions. Don't expect to have a peaceful life in the future.
Ming Yuli was filled with bitterness at the emperor's decision, but he still had to kowtow and express his gratitude.
Who asked his precious daughter Ming Ruoxi to have an affair with another man while taking advantage of the imperial decree granting her marriage? This is a contempt for the imperial power and deceiving the emperor. It would not be too much for the emperor to kill him as well as her father!
