1698 Crying and making a fuss, there is no way to make peace with Sky Castle
Because of the Ninth Prince, the reputation of Zhufeng Tower in the Dongling Imperial City was greatly boosted. No matter whether they were civil officials or military officers, whether they were first-rank officials or seventh-rank officials, when they heard that the Zhufeng Tower was booked out, they felt uneasy, fearing that the person who booked it was the Ninth Prince.
When she learned that the person who booked the theater was the Ninth Queen, she began to get scared again, fearing that the Ninth Prince was going to kill someone again, and that she would unfortunately become the unlucky one...
Many people saw the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen enter Zhufeng Tower in the afternoon, and many people even knew that they left Zhufeng Tower at midnight.
"The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen stayed in the Wind Chasing Tower for four or five hours. Who did they meet? What did they talk about?"
"Who is the Ninth Prince going to kill this time? Will it be me?"
"I heard that when the Ninth Prince came out of the Wind Chasing Tower, his face looked very unhappy. It looks like someone is going to be in trouble again."
…
The officials in the imperial city were once again in danger. The officials of the emperor's faction could not help themselves. With one hour left before the morning court session, they were waiting outside the palace with lanterns. When they saw Fu Lin coming, they stepped forward in fear and said, "Master Fu, please save us."
"Master Fu, I am also working for the Emperor. You cannot watch me die in vain."
…
Words like these came one after another, each one louder than the last, making Fu Lin's head hurt. He resisted the urge to yell at them and tried to appease them with kind words. However, he secretly cursed these people in his heart for not listening to him when they were making trouble, and for coming to him whenever something happened, thinking they really thought he was their family's housekeeper.
And that Ninth Prince is the most hateful one. Knowing that the officials in the capital are most afraid of the Ninth Prince going to Zhufeng Tower, he still shows off in a high-profile manner before leaving Beijing. It's really a headache.
Fu Lin pressed his throbbing temple and winked at the servant beside him. Under the servant's protection, Fu Lin finally escaped from the officials with his superb martial arts.
"Master Fu, Master Fu, please don't go. You haven't finished what you are saying." When the officials saw Fu Lin leaving, they hurriedly chased after him.
Wang Jinling saw this scene when he dismounted from his horse. The corners of his lips curled up slightly in a faint smile: Zhufeng Tower is really a good place. No wonder the Ninth Prince would rather be a little follower and accompany Qingchen to Zhufeng Tower.
The deterrent effect of the Ninth Prince's entry into the Zhufeng Tower was powerful. Even though all the civil and military officials knew that the Ninth Prince would leave the city the next day, they were still very cautious, fearing that they would make a mistake and someone would suddenly appear and say that he was ordered by the Ninth Prince to put them in jail.
“If this group of people makes trouble again, please invite Uncle Nine to have dinner at Zhufeng Tower.” Wang Jinling was very satisfied as he looked at the six departments operating efficiently.
As expected, these people are all servile. They won't leave unless you coax them or beat them. Convincing them with reason is all empty talk and lies. Only force can make these old foxes obey.
All official business was handled by his efficient subordinates. Wang Jinling sat leisurely at the small table, drinking tea comfortably. But his comfort did not last long. When the City Lord arrived in the imperial city and did not see the Ninth Prince, Wang Jinling no longer had time to relax.
Who made Lan Jingyang a graduate of the Jixia Academy like him? Now that the Ninth Prince is not here, if the City Lord wants to see Lan Jingyang, who else can he find but him?
"Ninth Prince, you bastard." Annoyed by City Lord Lian, the elegant Wang Jinling couldn't help but curse, cursing the Ninth Prince for being harassed by the Lord of Tianqiong Fort.
Feng Qingchen had no idea about all this. The Ninth Prince could probably guess a little, but he would not tell Feng Qingchen. Making Wang Jinling a little annoyed would add a little color to his black and white life.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen took Ling Tian with them on their journey. However, they did not even meet each other along the way. As soon as they set out, Feng Qingchen threw Ling Tian and his two maids to the accompanying imperial guards in the name of protection, and asked the imperial guards to protect Ling Tian with three layers inside and three layers outside to prevent Ling Tian from getting into trouble.
The word "protection" was of great significance. The imperial guards understood Feng Qingchen's meaning and implemented it. Although Ling Tian was not treated unfairly along the way, he had no freedom at all. Wherever he went, there were people watching him, under the beautiful name of protection!
Protect, protect your whole family!
Ling Tian had a smile on his face, but the beast in his heart was running wildly. If he hadn't been well-educated and hadn't retained his rationality, he would have fought with the Ninth Prince's men long ago.
Ling Tian is rational, Lu Qing is smart, but Hong Xiu is different.
Hongxiu hated Feng Qingchen so much, first Xuan Shaoqi, then Lan Jingyang. The man she liked liked Feng Qingchen, and the man she admired was captured by Feng Qingchen. Hongxiu felt that Feng Qingchen was born to be against her.
Although Hongxiu acted impulsively, she also knew that a good woman would not suffer a loss in front of her, so she only took advantage of him verbally and caused trouble for the imperial guards.
The guards saw that she was a woman and disdained to argue with her. Until one day, Hongxiu kicked over the water they had brought from Wuli. The guards could no longer tolerate it and pushed Hongxiu away with the back of their knives: "Bitch, get out of here."
Although the imperial guards were furious, they still had their reason. They did not use their full strength when attacking Hongxiu, and the words were not harsh. However, Hongxiu refused to give in. She sat on the ground and cried and made a scene, shouting without any image: "The soldiers killed people, the soldiers beat people."
"The soldiers of Dongling only know how to beat women. What kind of men are you? Bullying a weak woman like me, if you have the guts, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy."
"Master, they are bullying people, bullying people."
Hongxiu cried very sadly, her face was covered with tears and snot, and she was tightly holding the trouser leg of the man who had just pushed her. She looked like a shrew. The Ninth Prince saw her from afar, turned his face away in disgust, and did not approach her.
You can’t afford to hurt a man with mysophobia, and you can’t afford to hurt a woman who likes a man with mysophobia even more.
Feng Qingchen had no choice but to step forward alone: "What happened?"
"You bully me, a weak woman with no one to rely on."
"Ms. Feng, your men want to kill me. I am a weak woman, why won't you let me go?"
Hongxiu cried and shouted, she said everything by herself, not giving anyone else a chance to speak, she just kept shouting and yelling.
Feng Qingchen couldn't stand it any longer, so he asked someone to cover Hongxiu's mouth. Hongxiu refused to obey and yelled, "Master, help! Miss Feng is going to kill people to silence them."
The voice was so sharp that it hurt Feng Qingchen's eardrums. Feng Qingchen almost swore: Damn it, I have never met such a unreasonable woman in my life. She yells and screams without even figuring out what's going on, making it seem like she was gang-raped.
"What's wrong?" Ling Tian was attracted by Hongxiu's cry. Seeing Hongxiu's face full of tears and her clothes were frightened, he couldn't help but frown and questioned Feng Qingchen.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Hongxiu struggled desperately when she saw the rescuers. Her red and swollen eyes were filled with tears. She looked so pitiful.
Ling Tian glanced at the imperial guards with dissatisfaction and said, "Qingchen, why don't you let Hongxiu go first? We can talk it out if there is anything. She is a weak girl and can't withstand the strength of these rough guys."
In just one sentence, he put all the blame on the imperial guards and didn't think there was anything wrong with Hongxiu at all. He was exactly like Hongxiu, thinking that everyone else was wrong.
Based on this point alone, Feng Qingchen understood that there was no way they could get along with Tianqiong Castle.
Ling Tian is a man who cares about his reputation and protects his shortcomings. They have damaged Ling Tian's reputation and hurt his beloved maid. Ling Tian has also cooperated with Lan Jingyang. They have no choice but to rob Tianqiong Fort...
