Chapter 323 Be the Knife in His Hand
Emperor Minghe sighed, "I gave him a chance."
When Emperor Minghe was young, he was decisive and murderous.
But later on, the number of direct descendants of the Qin family decreased, and he himself had few offspring.
My heart is softer than before.
For example, even though the third son had committed such a serious crime before, he still spared his son's life.
For example, Lao Liu also made mistakes, but he was willing to give his son a chance to reform.
As for his younger brother Qin Kun, Emperor Minghe also intended to let him go.
But it's not really let go.
Qin Kun's crimes are too numerous to list.
But Emperor Minghe hoped that it would be Crown Prince Qin Jingyu who would find out all this.
Qin Jingyu looked at his father's smile and reacted.
His previous guess was correct.
Qin Kun was specially left by his father for him to practice...
Because he was thinking about his wife and daughter at home, Qin Jingyu bowed and said, "Then father, please have a rest early. We can discuss the details tomorrow."
Emperor Minghe waved his hand, "Go ahead."
When Qin Jingyu rode out of the palace gate on horseback, Ouyang Rui had not left yet and was waiting beside him on horseback.
He looked at him and asked, "Why, aren't you anxious to go back and accompany Princess Jiamin?"
Ouyang Rui: "I am indeed anxious to go back to accompany Jiamin, but Jiamin has always been on good terms with the Crown Princess. I was in such a hurry just now that I forgot to ask you in detail."
"The Crown Princess is not injured?"
Ouyang Rui is very careful.
Naturally, he would not pay too much attention to the Crown Princess, but if Jiamin knew that the Crown Princess was almost in danger today, she would definitely ask questions non-stop.
If he didn't know the details, he would probably think that girl would go to the Qin Mansion to see the Crown Princess in the middle of the night with her big belly.
Qin Jingyu: "Qing Ning is fine, you can let Princess Jiamin rest assured."
Ouyang Rui: "That's good."
The two of them didn't say much along the way. After all, they were both thinking about their wives at home, and they soon went home.
Qin Jingyu rushed all the way back to the mansion, but he still called all the guards and stewards first.
"Your negligence today allowed the bad guys to come in, and the Crown Princess was almost in danger. Each of you will be fined one year's salary and receive ten strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
Everyone immediately said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
When Qin Jingyu took a shower, changed his clothes and went to the backyard, Lin Qingning had just coaxed Xiao Xiyao to sleep.
Lin Qingning was slightly surprised to see him come back.
"I thought you were going to stay in the palace today. Have you discussed everything?"
Qin Jingyu: "Not yet. I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning. My father has also summoned other ministers to discuss politics."
"I was worried about you, so I came back to see you."
Lin Qingning: "I'm fine now, although I was really scared when I saw that person in the basin at first."
"In fact, the next moment, I thought, it's good that this person showed up. It's better to catch him in time than to worry about him all the time."
I don’t know whether other people in Mo Yuan will recognize Mo Yu in the future.
But for now, if Mo Yu could get rid of this masked man, he would have an extra layer of security.
It also bought her time so that she could give Mo Yu more treatments and completely free him from Di Yin's control.
Seeing that she was indeed not frightened and her expression was the same as usual, Qin Jingyu finally felt relieved.
A night passed.
When Lin Qingning woke up, there was no one around her.
Banxia came in to serve.
Lin Qingning: "When did Your Highness get up?"
Banxia: "It's not even dawn yet, but His Highness has brought Zhufeng and the others into the palace."
"We are really far from the palace, but once we move into the East Palace, Your Highness won't have to work so hard."
Attending the morning court is a very tiring task as one has to get up early.
Not to mention, they are indeed quite some distance away from the imperial palace.
Lin Qingning also felt sorry for Qin Jingyu. He had been very busy during this period and had lost a lot of weight.
And judging from the situation yesterday, the matter with the Ninth Prince will come to an end this time.
With the fall of the Ninth Prince, the Lin family’s revenge was finally fully avenged.
She suddenly thought of Qin Tingfang again.
If the Ninth Prince falls, what will happen to Qin Tingfang?
**
Ninth Prince's Palace.
Ever since Zhao Feiyang was arrested by the Dali Temple, Qin Kun has been in a very bad mood.
I didn't sleep well last night.
He even called Qin Tingfang over and gave him a scolding.
"Why would you meet that person in the palace at this critical moment?"
Qin Tingfang also felt wronged, "Foster father, I didn't invite him to the palace, he came by himself, and I was also shocked!"
Qin Kun's face was gloomy, "But she was taken away from the Ninth Prince's Mansion after all."
Qin Tingfang: "He should not be an important figure in the Western Regions."
"He's been captured. If the Western Regions can't rescue him, we can only give up."
"Besides, he definitely has no evidence. If the palace is really involved, we should deny it outright."
Qin Tingfang was also very upset about Zhao Feiyang's arrest.
But she also knew that nothing could happen to her.
At worst, she would burn more paper money for Zhao Feiyang every Qingming Festival.
It was worth it that he treated me sincerely.
But after hearing her words, Qin Kun frowned and said, "Are you sure he is not an important person in the Western Regions?"
"Otherwise, could he find a way to have someone change your face?"
Qin Tingfang touched her face. She didn't want to mention the face-changing issue.
She said calmly, "He was the adopted son of my housekeeper before, there is nothing special about him. If I really want to talk about his good points, he is loyal to me."
"Father, don't worry. Even if he dies, he won't betray me and the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Qin Kun said coldly: "It's better this way!"
He was a little irritable because he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Looking at Qin Tingfang's blind appearance, Qin Kun didn't want to say anything to her anymore and waved his hand to let her leave.
He called his confidant, "Where's Qiu Shui?"
The confidant whispered, "Since Master Qiu came back yesterday, he has been in a low mood and has been staying in the house."
Qin Kun frowned.
It was just the death of a useless brother, why was Qiu Shui so devastated all of a sudden?
What a disappointment for him.
Qin Kun naturally would not act considerate at this time.
He also had to pretend that he didn't know that his brother Qiu Shui was dead.
Qin Kun: "Go call her over and tell her that I have something important to discuss with you."
Confidant: "Yes."
When Qin Kun asked someone to call him, Qiu Shui was in a trance for a moment.
She really didn't want to believe that the Ninth Prince had killed her own brother.
But the person who did it was indeed the Ninth Prince's confidant. She saw him in the yard today.
And there's more than one person.
If it was just one person, he might have been bribed by others, but what about a group of people?
The Ninth Prince was a meticulous person, so it was unlikely that all of his trusted subordinates had been bribed.
Perhaps, he has some very important reason?
Qiu Shui washed her face with clean water, then she tidied herself up and went to meet Qin Kun.
She wanted to hear the other party's explanation.
In fact, subconsciously, Qiu Shui still wanted to give Qin Kun a chance.
Qin Kun didn't know.
As soon as he saw Qiu Shui looked haggard and not as alert as usual, he scolded her harshly.
"Qiu Shui, what's wrong with you? Have you been slacking off recently?"
"You know, Zhao Feiyang was captured by Qin Jingyu in the Ninth Prince's Mansion yesterday. I don't know if he will reveal the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
"Which of those nails you buried earlier are still available?"
Qiu Shui watched his mouth opening and closing, but his mind was blank.
In the past, in order to help the Ninth Prince, she would save some women with miserable lives and then make them work for her.
Even sometimes, the "miserable fate" of those women was actually caused by her intentionally.
When those women called her Sister Qiu with gratitude, Qiu Shui felt a little guilty.
But that sense of guilt was soon overwhelmed by her feelings for the Ninth Prince.
But now, what lies before them is her brother's life!
Qiu Shui listened to Qin Kun's words for a long time, and suddenly said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, I've been distracted by my brother's affairs recently."
The anger on Qin Kun's face subsided a little, and he held Qiu Shui's hand as usual.
"Qiu Shui, I have told you that I will definitely have someone find your brother."
"No news right now is actually the best news, isn't it?"
"Don't be upset."
"My business is more important."
"As long as nothing happens to me and the Ninth Prince's Mansion is fine, you and your brother will be fine. Do you understand?"
Qin Kun usually speaks in a very low voice, but at this moment, he is very gentle.
And Qiu Shui before was the one who was most greedy for his gentleness.
She even thought that even if he never gave her a name in his life, she would stay by his side as an adviser for the rest of her life.
Be the knife in his hand.
But now, he used the other knife in his hand to hurt her...
All the tenderness in Qiu Shui's heart was extinguished at this moment, and her eyes slowly calmed down.
"Your Majesty is right. I will definitely not act on emotion in the future."
"Oh, right? Zhao Feiyang probably doesn't have any evidence of our connection with the Western Regions. His words are not enough. As long as we deny it, it will be fine."
Seeing that she had returned to normal, Qin Kun felt relieved.
He nodded slightly, "Even so, we still can't take it lightly."
"Go back and sort it out. All evidence of recent contact with the Western Regions has been dealt with."
Qin Kun had a good idea. As long as he could clean up the mess this time, his brother would definitely treat him with care.
At most it's just a verbal warning.
Moreover, no major disaster occurred.
However, Qiu Shui's eyebrows twitched when he heard his words.
She suddenly asked, "My Lord, where is Qin Tingfang?"
At the beginning, the people from the Western Regions contacted Qin Kun privately and provided him with a lot of military supplies.
They also promised that if he needed it in the future, they would send troops to support him.
The first request that the people from the Western Regions put forward to him was to keep Qin Tingfang, who had undergone face-changing surgery, in the Ninth Prince's Palace.
She asked Qin Kun to help her get the position of county lord.
In fact, having an extra adopted daughter didn't matter, but Qin Kun had a selfish motive at the time.
That is his appearance after the face-changing, which is very similar to his late Ninth Princess.
Qin Kun didn't fall in love with this substitute, but the fact that he was in front of him all day long gave him an illusion.
A Yue is still alive and by his side.
But now, Qiu Shui suddenly mentioned Qin Tingfang.
After all, she is also the 'evidence' of his collusion with the Western Regions!
