1541 Finding faults, wolves don't need a reason to attack rabbits
When Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince returned to the imperial capital of Beiling, Beiling was in the midst of internal and external troubles. The princes were busy fighting for power and winning over ministers. The arrival of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing only a layer of ripples.
Just seeing that the Ninth Prince's eyes were intact, several princes and ministers of Beiling secretly cursed God for being blind, not only letting Dong Lingjiu come back alive, but also actually healing his eyes.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, or how busy they were, they had to observe proper etiquette. On the first day that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen entered the city, the First Prince of Beiling and Beiling Fengqian came out in person to greet them.
However, after the two princes arranged Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Uncle at the post station, they no longer cared about them, as if leaving them to fend for themselves.
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince didn't care either. In fact, they were very satisfied. Without anyone watching them, it was convenient for them to do anything.
He secretly contacted Yuwen Yuanhua, and the Ninth Prince asked him to send troops directly to the border, on the grounds that Princess Anping was bullied in Beiling.
As a princess who married into a foreign country, if her country was not strong enough and no one helped her, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the local area, and she might even die of depression soon.
Anping was lucky, Dongling was stronger than Beiling, and someone stood up for her on her wedding day, although the reason was a little far-fetched, but what did it matter?
Does the wolf need a reason to hunt the rabbit?
The army of Dongling was approaching, making the situation in Beiling even more tense. Beiling had to stop its plan to send a large number of troops to Nanling.
The imperial seal is important, but Beiling's foundation is also important. If Dong takes advantage of their insufficient military strength and leads his troops to attack, Beiling will be completely destroyed.
The people of Beiling are not afraid of war, and they even like war, because war means they can grab a lot of food, but Beiling does not want to fight with other countries on its own territory.
Everyone in Beiling was very happy to fight with Nanling. The imperial seal was in Nanling, and sending troops into Nanling would also allow them to seize a lot of food. Everyone in Beiling was looking forward to this kind of battle with many benefits, but Beiling really didn't want to fight the battle with Dongling.
If we don’t want to fight, then let’s talk about peace!
Didn't Dongling say that Princess Anping was wronged in Beiling? Then let Beiling Fengqian come to apologize and promise to treat Princess Anping well. Dongling will not be able to find an excuse by then.
Beiling Fengqian came to the post station to find the Ninth Prince with great dissatisfaction. In front of the Ninth Prince, he apologized to Anping and promised that he would treat Anping well in the future and would not let Anping suffer any grievances again.
Princess Anping said nothing, but just lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes.
Her mother passed away, her father didn't care about her, her brother was exiled, and she married far away. She was no longer the willful girl, and she knew very well that Dong Ling stood up for her not because of her but because of the overall situation.
As a chess piece, she must have the attitude of a chess piece and be obedient in order to survive well in Beiling and gain support from Dongling.
Beiling Fengqian performed for a long time with his excellent singing and composing skills, but found that no one paid any attention to him. He became even angrier in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
Looking up at the Ninth Uncle, seeing that he had no expression on his face, Beiling Fengqian was not sure what the Ninth Uncle meant, so he could only say to Anping affectionately: "Anping, shall we go home? I have already sent those concubines away. I promise that they will not appear in front of you, and there will be no concubines to make you sad in the future."
Anping looked up, his eyes slightly red, and said bitterly: "I want to stay for two more days."
Everyone is an acting talent, no one is worse than the other. Feng Qingchen shook his head secretly, glanced at the Ninth Prince, and seeing that the Ninth Prince had no intention of speaking, he had to speak up himself: "Your Highness Feng Qian, since Princess Anping wants to stay for two more days, you just need to send her things over. The Ninth Prince is Anping's uncle, how can he treat Anping badly?"
"Miss Qingchen, that's not what I meant. Anping is the mistress of the house. While she's staying here, the affairs in the mansion..." Beiling Fengqian looked embarrassed, but what he meant was to accuse Anping of not fulfilling her duties as mistress.
Even if there is a mistake, it is the fault of both parties.
Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were clearly looking for trouble, and Beiling Fengqian's hint was simply ignored by the two. They wanted to fight Beiling with fists, not reason.
Only those who are in a disadvantaged position need to reason, and the truth is only in the hands of the strong.
Feng Qingchen glanced at Beiling Fengqian mockingly and said, "Why? Anping has to do everything in your house by himself. Where are the servants and housekeepers? Do you just collect the monthly salary but do nothing? Do you push everything onto Anping?"
Feng Qingchen paused for a moment, and then continued, "Your Highness Feng Qian, although Anping is your wife, please remember that she is the most noble and unrivaled eldest princess of Dongling. Our princess of Dongling did not marry you to be a housekeeper."
"How could that be? I haven't had enough time to love Anping." Beiling Fengqian was still feeling depressed, but because the Dongling army was at the border, he could not get angry and could only swallow his anger and be careful again and again.
Feng Qingchen knew that Anping was going to stay today, and Beiling Fengqian would definitely get revenge on Anping in the future, so she winked at Anping and asked her to leave.
An Ping heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. When Bei Ling Feng Qian asked her to go back again, An Ping gave him a way out. Both parties were happy. But just as Bei Ling Feng Qian was about to leave, the Ninth Prince spoke up, "Do you know Jing Yang from Han Yue Villa?"
"Uh..." Beiling Fengqian paused, wanting to say he didn't know him, but when he met the fierce gaze of the Ninth Prince, he lost the courage to lie and nodded reluctantly: "I know him."
“Very good, tell Jingyang that if Hanyue Villa is not disbanded within three days, I will bring people to tear down Hanyue Villa.” After saying this, the Ninth Prince stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Beiling Fengqian was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and quickly chased after him: "Ninth, Ninth Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
The Ninth Prince paused, turned around and said, "You didn't understand what I meant literally? Since you didn't understand, I don't mind repeating it again. Within three days, I want Hanyue Villa to disappear from Beiling, otherwise I will personally lead my troops into Beiling."
This is a threat, this is definitely a threat. Beiling Fengqian stood there, not daring to move, and said with a forced smile, "Ninth Uncle, are you joking?"
Hanyue Mountain Villa is a considerable force in Beiling. They were disbanded just by being told to do so. The Ninth Prince thought he was the emperor and everyone had to listen to him.
“You should know that I never joke. If you have the courage, you can take a gamble; if you don’t have the courage, just do as I say, lest I accidentally flatten the Beiling Imperial Capital.” Only the Ninth Uncle could speak in a slow tone and say words that would make people vomit blood.
As expected, he came to ask for compensation. Feng Qingchen laughed secretly in his heart.
Beiling Fengqian only felt a sweetness in his heart and almost vomited blood.
"Ninth Uncle, are you threatening me, Beiling?" Beiling Fengqian had been suppressing his temper for a long time, and finally it exploded.
We are all princes, no one is inferior to anyone else. Why did Dong Lingjiu threaten him, the prince of Beiling, in Beiling's territory?
"If you think so, I have no objection. If you don't see Hanyue Villa disappear within three days, you can wait for me to take action." The Ninth Prince deliberately emphasized the word "disappear".
What he wanted was for the power of Hanyue Villa to disappear forever in Beiling, rather than hiding in the dark and being used by Lan Jingyang...
If Lan Jingyang dares to plot against him, he will have to pay the price!
