Chapter 25 Zuihualou is her property
Every time Feng Mian read out the names of these officials, the people concerned lowered their heads.
As if afraid of being seen by others.
His face looked extremely ugly, and he wished he could stuff his daughter back into her mother's womb.
The other ministers watched the show, some gloated over the misfortune, and some sympathized with the ministers.
Feng Mian recited the names of each adult he met.
Until all the officials came to the court.
Feng Mian then left the palace gate.
But when they entered the court, what awaited these officials were some documents implicating them.
In addition to failing to educate his daughter properly, he also exposed the corrupt practices of these officials.
Many charges were dug up, making several officials sweat profusely.
So, at an early morning court session, Princess Zhaohua did not show up.
However, several officials above the fifth rank were either demoted or directly lost their official hats.
This also alerted all the civil and military officials in the court.
Even if Princess Zhaohua has been away from the capital for a year, she still has the power to influence the court.
They originally thought that after the crown prince ascended the throne, Princess Zhaohua would retreat behind the scenes and everything would be handed over to the crown prince.
After all, the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaohua are from the same mother, and Princess Zhaohua has always been supporting the Crown Prince.
In addition, before the princess left Beijing, she rarely interfered in state affairs.
But as soon as Princess Zhaohua returned to the capital, she gave them a direct rebuke.
They knew that Princess Zhaohua was not just teaching a lesson to those who disrespected her.
It’s telling them.
Her Royal Highness the Princess still has the ability to take down their official positions.
This is the fate of those who dare to disrespect Princess Zhaohua!
Some officials who had gradually leaned towards the prince began to consider whether to continue leaning towards Princess Zhaohua.
When the court officials turned their eyes to Lord Xiao who was standing on the right.
But all he saw was that Lord Xiao had his hands calmly tucked into his sleeves, as if he was oblivious to everything.
When Feng Mian returned to report, Lin Zhaoyue had just arrived at Zuihua Tower.
"A bunch of old bastards, they really think they can do whatever they want when I'm not in the capital." Lin Zhaoyue sneered, "Just in time, let them see if I can still wield a knife."
Among those young ladies who had run into trouble with her last night, two had fathers who had repeatedly accused her of abusing her power and doing many things against her during the year she had been away from Beijing.
He thought that since the prince was in power, he really didn't care about anything.
As for the other few, they are not clean in themselves, so it doesn’t matter if you take part in them.
It's also a way to make an example of someone.
It also made those people in the court understand that she, Lin Zhaoyue, had not delegated power to the prince.
She doesn't necessarily have to support Lin Ye.
Although Zuihualou is a brothel, it is also a place where famous actors and actresses in the capital come together.
In addition to beauties, there are also actors.
There are people who sell their bodies, and there are actors who sell their art but not their bodies.
Therefore, Zuihualou's business has always been prosperous, and there are many people who come just to drink and watch the performances.
The interior of Zuihua Tower is divided into Qin Hall and Chu Hall, separated by a stage.
Most of the guests at the Qin Pavilion were received by women, while those at the Chu Pavilion were received by men.
Lin Zhaoyue went out today in casual clothes with a veil on her face. After entering Zuihualou, she went directly to Chuguan.
When she was led into a side room, the steward immediately came in and said respectfully, "Master, please wait a moment. Madam Xu will be here soon."
Mu Ying obediently poured tea for Lin Zhaoyue, "Master."
Lin Zhaoyue took the tea, slowly took off the mask, and took a sip from the teacup to moisten her throat.
In a moment, a charming middle-aged woman walked in.
As soon as he saw Lin Zhaoyue, he immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master."
Lin Zhaoyue slowly put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the woman in front of her, and curled the corners of her mouth, "Mother Xu, long time no see."
Mother Xu also smiled and said, "This subordinate has been looking forward to the master's return every day for the past year."
"The prince probably doesn't know that the source of the information is you." Lin Zhaoyue said calmly.
Mother Xu's expression straightened. "Master, don't worry. Until you let us know, we haven't revealed any information about Zuihualou to the Crown Prince. Now, I have even ordered those who worked there to change their identities. Even if we investigate, we won't find anything."
After hearing this, Lin Zhaoyue nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, the subtitles in front of Lin Zhaoyue were extremely lively.
[What?? Zuihualou is the princess's property?? The plot doesn't mention that!]
[Stupid, I won't tell you everything in the plot. A lot of it is just glossed over.]
[The original text says that the princess is powerful and influential. It's normal for a princess to have her own intelligence force. What's the big deal?]
[Ahh, the princess is willing to let me know all her secrets, does she like me?!]
[Did you add any medicine to the water before? ]
[That's right, ah~ I'm so hot...ah, only the princess can help me! ]
[…Sister, I won’t even give you any help.]
Lin Zhaoyue: ...
Why did she feel that in the cracks of the plot without the protagonists, all the subtitles following her were full of lies?
Mother Xu seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Zhaoyue asked.
Mother Xu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Master...that girl named Chu Yinyin..."
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "You say."
Mother Xu opened her mouth and said, "I have seen this girl before... Miss Chu, she is gentle and graceful, pure and kind..."
Mu Ying's eyes were already looking at her coldly.
Even Feng Mian's eyes were filled with a hint of coldness.
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "Go on."
Mother Xu didn't dare to continue, and just stammered, "I just think... maybe... maybe there is some misunderstanding..."
[Ah, I've seen this plot before. The heroine helped Mother Xu up when she was about to fall and even called her "sister"]
[Yes, I remember this plot too. Mother Xu felt that the heroine was someone who didn’t care about her status, and she was quite moved.]
[She was so moved by such a trivial thing. Why didn't she think that her current situation was all thanks to the princess?]
[This is a typical example of someone being so moved by a small favor that they forget who gave them their life.]
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at the subtitles and sneered in her heart.
I see.
Because of this incident, Mother Xu actually spoke well of Chu Yinyin in front of him.
In the original plot, everyone around him walked towards Chu Yinyin.
I guess it’s Mother Xu.
She said calmly, "Mother Xu has worked hard running Zuihualou over the years. How about changing someone else to run it?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Xu immediately knelt on the ground in panic.
"Master! I'm not tired!"
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "Mother Xu, do you still remember how you came to Zuihualou?"
Mother Xu was stunned, and the scene of herself being sold to Zuihualou came to her mind.
That year, if my master had not appeared to save my life and bought Zuihualou, I would have died at the hands of those people.
A chance encounter, a life-saving grace...
She is really getting senile!
How dare you say such words in front of the master!
"Master, I was confused! Please punish me!" Mother Xu kowtowed heavily.
