Chapter 204 Disgust
Xu Meir's face was grim, "Didn't you tell me before that An Yunhe likes gentle and beautiful women? Why is he so disgusted with me?"
Yes, disgust
The other party didn't even pretend, and just showed the disgust in his eyes in front of her, and his whole body exuded the aura of asking her not to get close
This made Xu Meir very frustrated. She finally got her adoptive father to agree to let her come to Beiling Kingdom to meet the emperor in advance, but she didn't expect to start off badly. She was left with a bad impression by the other party as soon as they met.
It's all because this old woman didn't explain clearly!
Aunt Liu trembled: "Your Highness, I have told you everything I know. Please be magnanimous and let me go!"
Xu Meir crossed her arms over her chest and stared at Aunt Liu with a very cold gaze.
The reason why she captured this woman was because she wanted to investigate some things that happened in the An family in recent years. The most important thing was that she wanted to understand An Yunhe.
The maids in the general's mansion didn't know much, and there was no way to make a big move against the master of the general's mansion. She could only capture Aunt Liu who had lived in the general's mansion for more than ten years.
I heard that Aunt Liu was driven out of the house recently. After all, she was once half the master of the mansion. She must know a lot of inside information and it was easy to catch her.
Xu Meir sat elegantly on the chair, questioning in a cold voice in the bright and slightly dazzling candlelight.
"Do you know what my brother likes to eat?"
Aunt Liu's face was extremely pale, and her whole body was trembling.
How could she know what An Yunhe liked to eat ?
But if she said she didn't know, the vicious woman in front of her would send someone to beat her again, so Aunt Liu lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Fish, the third young master likes to eat fish."
Xu Mei'er's lips curled up.
She immediately ordered: "Ask the kitchen to make more fish and send it to my brother's room."
"Yes."
A palace servant responded at the door and hurriedly prepared according to the princess's request.
Xu Mei'er got the answer she wanted, and her eyes softened slightly when she looked at Aunt Liu. There was a bit of coldness in her eyebrows, and her fingers gently touched her chin.
"Does my brother have any good relationships in this imperial city?"
Aunt Liu pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "The third young master rarely goes out, and he is only casually acquainted with people outside. I have never seen him get close to anyone."
Xu Mei'er heard this, and a bit of pity appeared in her eyes.
She bit her lower lip lightly, and said with a little heartache: "My brother is really wronged. As a dignified prince, he is forced to live in the same room with those low-status bastards. It is normal for him to have no friends. Those bastards are not worthy of being my brother's friends."
In her eyes, An Yunhe is the future prince of Nanqi.
"What about that woman?"
When asking this question, Xu Mei'er's eyes suddenly became extremely sinister.
Her fingers gently rolled up the corner of her clothes, and gradually wrinkled the smooth corner of her clothes.
Aunt Liu shook her head. She didn't think that An Yunhe had ever been close to any woman.
"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, the Princess, An Yunhe, the third son of the An family, has a very cold personality. He doesn't like crowds and doesn't like socializing. This is already well known."
When Xu Meir heard this, her eyes sparkled with a smile, and even her words became much softer.
"Okay, go back and rest first, there's nothing for you to do here."
Aunt Liu felt as if she had been pardoned, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
She had a hunch that the woman in front of her was extremely vicious and a complete lunatic
. Even if she herself was not a good person, she would not dare to provoke someone like Xu Meir.
The next morning, countless memorials were sent to Ling Fengxun.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the names of the officials impeached by those people. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he wrote a word on those memorials.
Investigate.
All the impeached people will be thoroughly investigated from head to toe. Any violation of the court laws will be investigated clearly. In the end, the pants of these old officials will be stripped clean.
None of these old officials who had been officials for many years and worked for the prince had a truly clean foundation.
In addition, everyone pushed the wall down, and within ten days, a long list of crimes were listed for everyone, and those who deserved to be confiscated were confiscated, and those who deserved to be killed were killed.
What exactly Ling Fengxun wanted to do by punishing the former prince's confidant in this way was well known to all civil and military officials, but everyone was happy to see this result.
Those officials who were dismissed or about to be executed were all replaced by others who had been arranged in advance. Because the evidence of their crimes was conclusive and no one had any objections, there was no chaos in the court, and the turmoil caused by the major change in the officialdom was quickly calmed down.
At this time, the Minister of Finance, Lord Lu, had also been arrested and imprisoned. The black gauze hat on his head had been taken off. Looking at his former colleagues, all of whom were disheveled and sitting in a cell with him, he leaned against the wall with a look of decadence, hugging his knees and looking dejected.
He murmured softly, revealing a look of regret.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have..."
The matter of Ling Fengxun's treatment of the ministers in the court was soon reported to the prince.
The prince was very angry after hearing the news, and smashed a lot of things in the East Palace that day.
He was shaking and his breath was unstable. Because he had not slept well for several nights, his eyes were full of bloodshot.
Ling Fengyan's actions completely destroyed the foundation he had accumulated over the years in the court.
From now on, he is just a puppet in the hands of the other side. If the other side wants him to live, he will live, and if they want him to die, he will die.
Prince Ling Changyue glanced at the night sky outside. There was not even a star in the sky. It was extremely dark and oppressive. He couldn't breathe.
The candles in the room were clearly extinguished, making his expression even more gloomy and terrifying.
But he is now too busy to take care of himself. Even if he knew the news, he could do nothing. He could only watch his many years of foundation destroyed.
He is really finished!
A few days passed.
While Ling Fengxun was cleaning up the remaining factions of the Crown Prince in the court, he also arranged for the burial of the late emperor.
He prepared a grand funeral for the Beiling Emperor, and even asked several princes and princesses to take turns to keep vigil.
The vigil lasted for seven days and seven nights.
Due to the hot weather, the mourning hall smelled a bit in the following days.
However, the heirs had to save face and show their filial piety and piety.
After almost torturing these princes and princesses, the Beiling Emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum of Qiling Mountain in Beiling State in mid-July of the 39th year of Tiansheng.
