917 sighed, the girl must miss the prince

Ye Ye learned from the emperor that the murderer was from the royal family of Xiling. Afterwards, he secretly investigated and found out that it was indeed someone from Xiling who did it. Ye Ye then calmed down and locked himself in the room for the whole day.

"Sure enough, he bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Feng Qingchen thought of Ye Ye's arrogance when he smashed the door, and couldn't help but get angry: "Why didn't he smash the door of Xiling Palace? What a cowardly man."

Tong Jue and Tong Yao smiled bitterly. The Xiling royal family was not the same as the Feng Mansion. Even if Ye Ye had a hundred guts, he would not dare to bring people to the Xiling Palace to cause trouble. By that time, he would be thrown out before he even arrived at the palace.

Feng Qingchen is easy to bully, and the Xiling royal family is not easy to mess with. No matter how arrogant and ignorant Ye Ye is, he knows that he cannot bring people to attack Xiling. Even when there is insufficient evidence, he can only swallow his anger and pretend that he knows nothing.

Ye Ye stayed alone for a day. After coming out, he wrote a memorial requesting to escort the coffin back to Ye City. The emperor agreed and tentatively mentioned Ye Ye's marriage, hoping that Ye Ye could get married within a hundred days to avoid having to observe mourning for three years and miss a good partner.

Ye Ye refused on the grounds that a hundred days was too hasty, and said that they would discuss the marriage after three years of mourning. The emperor was dissatisfied, and Ye Ye proposed to allow Dong Ling to send another 5,000 troops into Yecheng, and the emperor agreed.

"What a lovesick guy." Feng Qingchen sneered disdainfully.

For the sake of a woman, Zhi Yecheng ignored his family business. She could already see the decline of Yecheng. Without the marriage relationship, the emperor would put more pressure on Ye Ye, and the additional 5,000 soldiers entering the city would also be a threat to Yecheng.

Five thousand people is not a small number, and only Ye Ye, who knows nothing about military affairs, would easily allow Dong Ling to send another 5,000 soldiers into the city.

However, these have nothing to do with Feng Qingchen. What Feng Qingchen cares about is the large amount of material aid and commercial assistance that the emperor provides to Yecheng.

Feng Qingchen knew that the emperor saw an opportunity in the decline of Yecheng and planned to impose economic sanctions on Yecheng. At that time, Ye Ye would have no choice but to compromise with Dong Ling, or even be forced to give up control over Yecheng.

The emperor has taken action, so they can no longer do it. Feng Qingchen rubbed his brows and ordered: "It seems that commercial strikes will not work. Tong Yao, go back and say hello to the Su family and ask them to withdraw."

Yecheng is now under the jurisdiction of Dongling and is no longer the isolated city. It would be too stupid for her to use such tactics again.

Yecheng...it seems that he has to be left to the Ninth Uncle to deal with. When the conflict between the Emperor and Ye Ye breaks out, he will use that piece of evidence as the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Although Feng Qingchen felt unhappy that he failed to defeat Yecheng in one fell swoop, he felt much better when he thought about the future direction of Yecheng.

For Ye Ye, the most painful thing was not to take his life, but to watch Yecheng collapse bit by bit in his hands and then change hands.

If you want revenge, killing the other person is the worst way to do it. The best way is to target the people and things that the other person cares about, just like when Ye Ye carried the bones of her parents and went to the door to make trouble.

Ye Ye is in a very miserable state now, but Feng Qingchen is not a saint, so she will stand aside and watch Ye Ye become even more miserable, and will even step on him a few times if she has the chance.

The situation in Yecheng had escalated from an economic struggle to an armed struggle. As a civilian who could not own private soldiers, Feng Qingchen's force value was zero, so she decisively withdrew.

"How is the Lu family in Shandong doing?" Ye Cheng couldn't handle it, so could she go and see the situation in Shandong?

Now that the competition with Su Rou is over, she has nothing to worry about and can go to Shandong with peace of mind. As for the reason, the Ninth Prince can handle it.

Speaking of the Shandong Lu family, Tong Jue and Tong Yao's faces were not natural. Under Feng Qingchen's urging, Tong Jue said stiffly: "To answer Miss, there has been no progress, and it is almost the same as when we first arrived in Shandong. The Lu family is a wealthy family in Shandong. We have always been on the edge and unable to infiltrate. The Lu family seems to have a backer in the imperial city. In Shandong, even the ministers have to give the head of the Lu family some face."

"In Shandong, the Lu family is a local tyrant. Our people didn't feel that when they first arrived, but the longer they stayed, the more obvious this feeling became. The Lu family acts very low-key. If we hadn't stayed there for more than half a year, we would never have realized that the Lu family has such great power in Shandong."

Tong Jue's words became more and more ridiculous, and it sounded like she was making excuses for her own incompetence.

Feng Qingchen didn't care and just responded, "Keep keeping an eye on the Lu family. The Lu family has such a strong influence in Shandong, so let our people be careful. How is the illegitimate child of the Lu family who you contacted last time?"

"He's dead and was found by the Lu family." When he said this, Tong Jue buried his head even lower.

Their move has alerted the enemy, and the Lu family will definitely be more cautious.

"Dead? He's actually dead. The Lu family reacted really quickly and acted cleanly. They are worthy of being the ones who killed my father. It would be meaningless if they were too weak." Feng Qingchen would be lying if she wasn't angry. However, the Lu family had already killed this useful chess piece. There was no point in her being angry. The Lu family was the local emperor of Shandong. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. No one could control them.

"Tong Jue, Tong Yao, notify our people to retreat and stop inquiring about the Lu family." The Lu family has already noticed that someone is dealing with them. Feng Qingchen doesn't dare to take any more risks. If the Lu family finds out that she is the one who is doing it, she will be in trouble.

There were too many people who wanted to kill her. Before arriving in Shandong, she could not expose herself and openly be at odds with the Lu family, lest the Lu family would have murderous intentions towards her.

"Don't worry, miss. I have asked them to stay put. I will notify them later and ask them to behave themselves." It is not easy to plant spies, and Tong Jue and Tong Yao are reluctant to destroy them.

"Well, you are tired too, go down and have a rest." She knew everything she needed to know, and as for the rest, she had to think carefully about how to do it and how many resources she had at hand.

After thinking for a long time, Feng Qingchen couldn't think of a good solution. The imperial city was thousands of miles away from Shandong, and she could only analyze the situation of the Lu family from some trivial matters. That kind of aristocratic family had high status and strict rules, and the information her people could get was extremely limited.

"The trip to Shandong is imminent. The Lu family has already noticed that someone is looking for trouble with them. Following that clue, the Lu family should be able to find me soon. If the Lu family takes the initiative at that time, I will be in trouble. Compared with the Lu family, I am still too weak." Feng Qingchen tapped the table lightly.

She didn't know when it started, but she actually developed the habit of tapping the table like the Ninth Uncle. Feng Qingchen withdrew her hand reluctantly and revealed a bitter smile.

She had just seen the Ninth Prince Uncle during the day, but it felt like she hadn't seen him for a long time. Ever since the Wang family incident broke out, she had no idea what the Ninth Prince Uncle was busy with. He was nowhere to be seen every day and he never came out at night.

Feng Qingchen sighed, blew out the light in the study, and went back to his room to sleep.

Tomorrow, the emperor will definitely not let her stay at home to rest. He will definitely let her stay with Fu Lin and wait for his life or death...
