Chapter 511 Each Serves Their Own Master
In the courtyard of Daoist Changfeng.
Qin Shi'an and Yue Shuyue City formed a tripartite balance of power.
Yuecheng looked at Qin Shi'an with a serious expression.
"Junior sister, your senior brother will not show any mercy."
Yue Shu also said with a solemn expression, "Junior sister, senior sister is not someone who respects the elderly and cares for the young."
Qin Shi'an looked at the two of them and said, "What a coincidence, it's me too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them rushed forward and then crouched down.
In front of the three people was a small mound of earth with a willow branch stuck in it.
Qin Shi'an waved his hand and swept away most of the earth.
"It's settled then, whoever falls on the willow branch, all the firewood today belongs to her!"
Yuecheng and Yueshu excitedly but also carefully dug through the soil.
The willow branches eventually fell on the side of Moon City.
Yuecheng was speechless. "Why is it always me!"
Qin Shi'an and Yue Shu immediately burst into laughter and went to wash their hands.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the courtyard and knelt on one knee.
"master."
This person was none other than Chaofeng, the deputy leader of the Crimson Dragon Guard.
Qin Shi'an walked up to him and took the letter he handed over.
"Get up."
Qin Shi'an sat down and read one letter after another.
Liu Yiyi came out of the house carrying the medicine.
"A letter has arrived from the capital?"
Qin Shi'an handed a letter to Liu Yiyi.
"Look how renowned our Commander Cui is now."
Liu Yiyi took the letter and chuckled as she looked at the three words "Jade-faced Ghost".
She looked at the letter in her hand and said, "After reading the letter, drink the medicine."
Qin Shi'an felt utterly hopeless.
These past few months, the medicine she's been taking has made her blood taste bitter.
Qin Shi'an looked up after reading all the letters.
"Transfer all the Crimson Dragon Guards from various places to the capital, and withdraw all the ones here to the capital as well. When someone in the capital comes looking for me, the Crimson Dragon Guards can come to meet me."
"yes!"
Chaofeng quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
Liu Yiyi looked at Qin Shi'an, "Now that your death is a done deal, the secret guards haven't sent any clues about anyone looking for you for a long time, so why would anyone still come looking for you?"
Qin Shi'an put the letter aside, "Because there are more people who want me to live than those who want me dead."
Liu Yiyi blinked. "Aren't we going back to the capital soon?"
Qin Shi'an looked at her, "Not yet, there's not enough time."
Wei Lin was handling official business at the Court of State Ceremonial until late at night. When he returned home, he was surprised to find that Wei Cha was still awake.
He stepped forward and asked, "Father, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Wei Cha looked up at Wei Lin and asked, "Your Highness, are you still alive?"
Wei Lin looked at his father without changing his expression, "His Majesty and Her Majesty have already seen the Crown Princess's body."
Wei Cha chuckled lightly, "In this world today, there are very few people who can say they understand His Majesty and His Majesty. I am one of them. If the Crown Princess had truly passed away, His Majesty and His Majesty would not be so nonchalant."
Wei Lin's eyelids twitched. Everyone could see that the Emperor and Empress were overwhelmed with grief over the death of the Crown Princess.
My father called this "calm and collected".
Wei Cha stroked his beard. "Most importantly, there is someone in this world who understands me better than His Majesty and the Empress."
No one knows a son better than his father, and the person who understood him best was none other than Wei Lin.
Wei Cha's face turned cold. "Do you know what you're doing?"
Wei Lin's expression remained unchanged. "Father, you have taught me diligently since I was a child. There is one word that I wholeheartedly agree with."
Wei Cha looked at Wei Lin, "What word?"
Wei Lin smiled faintly, "Each serves their own master."
Wei Cha was startled.
Wei Lin was exceptionally gifted from a young age and was also very perceptive.
His ever-present smile makes it impossible to discern his true nature.
But as his father, Wei Cha knew very well how proud his son was.
Today, Wei Linjin actually dared to say something like "each serves their own master."
That brat actually managed to make his son submit.
Wei Cha looked at Wei Lin and said, "Do you know that what you have done may cause turmoil in the State of Jin?"
Wei Lin looked at Wei Cha.
"Father, what is turmoil?"
The State of Jin is now flourishing, but who opened up this desolate land? Who will guard the safety of the border? And who is expanding the territory?
Of those princes, high above and vying for power, who among them ever sowed the seeds of hope for this land?
Father, if I remember correctly, when you followed His Majesty in the struggle for the throne, you were thinking of the people.
Wei Cha looked at Wei Lin, "So, you've decided on that brat?"
Wei Lin's face softened into a calm smile. "It was agreed beforehand that I would follow the Crown Princess. The Wei family has always prioritized integrity. Father, please rest early. I will take my leave now."
After turning around, he spoke again: "Father, what I am doing does not conflict with yours."
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from behind Wei Lin.
Wei Lin was taken aback, then his smile widened.
Back in the courtyard, Fuya was still not resting.
Seeing Wei Lin speak up, he said, "The kitchen has some chicken soup for you, have some."
Wei Lin smiled and walked to Fu Ya's side, "Thank you, my lady."
The two sat together, and Fuya spoke up, "Did Father ask you about the Crown Princess today?"
While drinking chicken soup, Wei Lin said, "Father guessed that the news of the Crown Princess's death was false."
Fuya nodded. "Father has fought alongside His Majesty and the Empress for so many years, it was only a matter of time before he guessed it."
Wei Lin put down his spoon. "The time is almost ripe. We can start doing things now."
Several months have passed since news of Qin Shi'an's death.
After a period of silence, her reputation seemed to suddenly explode.
Songs praising the princess can be heard everywhere on the streets.
This phenomenon is even getting worse.
Even the officials were very familiar with him.
Only after Qin Shi'an's death did the effects of the "nails" she had planted begin to manifest themselves one by one.
Even the dissolute and outrageous things she used to do have transformed into youthful exuberance.
Among the people, her image became more and more complete.
She grew taller with her death and the passage of time.
As Qin Shi'an's reputation grew, so did his influence.
When the princes in the capital realized that Qin Jinzhi was terrifying, they found that their plans were impossible to implement.
Even a dead man can restrain them, making them completely unable to move.
If they don't do something...
I'm afraid they really are going to be kicked out.
This idea reached its peak after the Crown Prince was taken into the palace by the Emperor and Empress to be raised personally.
Since the emperor and empress supported the crown prince, Qin Shi'an also supported the crown prince.
Her forces would naturally support the Crown Prince.
The grandson is still very young.
But if things continue to develop in this way...
The grandson of the crown prince ascended the throne without any worries.
Most importantly, they don't understand.
How many backup plans did Qin Jinzhi actually have?
It's not just about restraining them, but also about eliminating all those who pose a threat to the Crown Prince when the time is right.
These are all unknown.
But they agreed on one thing.
Those are the heroes that everyone sings praises to in the mouths of the people.
She is a demon king who will devour anyone who stands in her way, leaving not even a trace.
