Chen Qingzi is definitely not the only one who cares about forgetting the world.
When Lu Qing came back from Yaoyueyuan, he sent someone to pay attention to Xue'er's situation and found that Ji Mingzhu, Qiao Siyu and others had visited her. The purpose was obvious.
She realized that keeping Xue'er and forgetting her worries would never be forgotten.
"Go to Concubine Bai's place."
Xue'er was locked up and could not leave the room at will. When Lu Qing passed by, the door opened from the inside, and Ji Mingzhu walked out.
Catching a glimpse of her figure, Ji Mingzhu stopped talking and saluted coldly and casually: "I've met Concubine Wei."
Lu Qing raised his hand for a moment, motioning her to stand up, and asked with a smile: "Why are Concubine Ji here? I remember that you and Concubine Bai were not familiar with each other before."
Ji Mingzhu had already asked what she wanted to ask. She didn't answer Lu Qing's question and turned to leave.
Ji Qin moved to block the road and stopped Ji Mingzhu: "Concubine Ji, Concubine Wei is talking to you."
Due to her inferior status, she could not ignore Lu Qing as a concubine.
Ji Mingzhu felt deeply humiliated. She turned around with a cold face and stared at Lu Qing with hatred: "The concubine Wei is so lenient? She has become a concubine and can't even decide where to go?"
"Is it lenient? Concubine Bai is still grounded. What is Concubine Ji saying to her? You can't even ask this? Or is it that the topic of your conversation cannot be known to others."
Lu Qing glanced at Xue'er's closed door. The two women guarding outside did not dare to look directly at her. They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
"You don't take the rules of the house as rules and bribe the servants to meet Concubine Bai." Lu Qing glanced at Ji Mingzhu up and down and said coldly, "You will be punished by kneeling for two hours and grounded for a month."
"You!" Ji Mingzhu refused to accept it. Once she recovered, the arrogance and domineering feeling in her body would be difficult to change.
Yizhen dragged Ji Mingzhu to prevent her from having another conflict with Lu Qing.
Ji Mingzhu also realized that she did not have the strength to go against Lu Qing now, and she would only suffer the consequences if they caused trouble again.
Lu Qing glanced sideways at the resentful Ji Mingzhu, then withdrew his gaze and walked toward the two women pretending to be quails.
"Both of you, each of you will be driven out of the house with twenty big sticks."
"No, don't! Concubine Wei give the slaves another chance!"
Lu Qing opened the door, and Xue'er sat on a round stool and looked at her funny.
"Why, Concubine Wei came here specifically to show off her power?"
Ji Qin wiped the stool and Lu Qing slowly sat down.
"What did you say to them?"
Xueer chuckled: "What else can I say? They are all very interested in Wangchenyou."
With a smile on her lips, Lu Qing looked at Xue'er with interest: "Wangchenyou is just a spice to calm the prince's mind and help him sleep. Do you really think you have mastered any secrets?"
Xueer gritted her teeth and affirmed: "It's definitely more than that! Otherwise, why would you lock me up?"
"Why are you locked up? Isn't it because you spread rumors casually and almost brought down the reputation of the palace and the prince?" Lu Qing glanced around the dusty room, then looked at Xue'er, she was getting thinner and sicker, "Why bother? To harm yourself to live like this?"
"What's wrong with me living this kind of life? Concubine Wei should still worry about herself. Maybe your good days are coming to an end soon. After the truth about Wang Chenyou is found out, you will definitely become the enemy of all women. They I won’t let you go!”
Xueer chuckled, pointed at Lu Qing and laughed so hard: "You are scared, you are afraid of being dragged down by me, you finally climbed to the position of concubine, hahahaha..."
"Let the palace doctor come and take a look at Concubine Bai. I guess her brain may be broken. If her brain is broken, there is no need to stay in the palace to scare people. She can be sent to Zhuangzi to be raised."
Lu Qing spoke, and servants soon came to take Xueer into custody. After the palace doctor went through the motions, she was quickly sent out of the palace.
"Master, do you need to silence her?"
"Just find someone to keep an eye on you."
**
Yan Xianzhi was anxious.
Queen Xu asked him to take his time, secretly reorganize his former team, and wait until the right opportunity to act.
He agreed in front of Queen Xu, turned around and couldn't help it anymore.
The glory of the prince originally belonged to him.
Now, Yan Fuguang has become His Highness the Crown Prince, so what is he? Is it a joke? !
In the restaurant, Yan Fuguang was leaning against the window. Yan Changfeng drank a large cup of tea thirstily before he regained his breath and spoke: "The situation of the fifth brother in Xili does not seem to be good. Father is not prepared to put too much pressure on me." My thoughts are spent in Xili City, but fifth brother refuses to come back easily, third brother, what do you think we should do?"
He was just the one who was in the middle to deliver the message. Xi Hedi was prevaricating and perfunctory with him, and Yan Qinghuai had a bad temper. The father and son had Yan Changfeng caught in the middle and had a hard time.
For Xili, Yan Fuguang is really beyond his reach. He defeated the Lan clan and should have left the rest to the imperial court, but Emperor Xihe didn't take over, and he was even more helpless. "I can't think of a good way either."
Yan Qinghuai was engaged in business in Xili, and he wrote letters back every three days asking for money. He kept saying that he would never come back until Xili City was settled well.
Yan Changfeng sighed: "Actually, this matter can be solved with money, but where can we get so much money? In recent years, there have been constant wars, large and small, and taxes on the people have been getting higher and higher. The court does not have much income, and it is impossible to blindly raise taxes. ?”
Therefore, once a war starts, it will waste people and money, but we still have to fight what should be fought, and many times there is no way to do it.
Yan Fuguang held the tea cup casually with one hand and glanced down, just in time to see Yan Xianzhi and a few friends entering the restaurant arm in arm.
"If there is a way to solve the silver issue, the fifth brother's side can be more relaxed..." Yan Changfeng held his head in distress to think of a solution, but saw Yan Fuguang staring downstairs.
"What are you looking at?"
"These dandy boys spend their days drinking and eating meat, or fooling around in brothels and casinos. Check them out, and you might gain something."
Yan Changfeng wondered, what could be gained from this?
When he actually sent someone to investigate, corruption and bribery were indeed discovered in one of the homes.
The next step was to confiscate the family and exile them. Once the person left, almost all the property in the family was confiscated by the court.
Yan Changfeng's eyes gleamed as he looked at the boxes of gold and countless gold and silver treasures that appeared out of thin air in front of him.
He was enlightened.
Yan Changfeng became very interested in uncovering corrupt elements in the court, and even asked Emperor Xihe for permission to assign the matter to him.
As Yan Xianzhi drank, there were fewer and fewer friends around him.
At first, he thought that Yan Changfeng was easier to talk to than Yan Fuguang, so he even went to Yan Changfeng to say nice things to make him secretly show mercy.
But how could Yan Changfeng listen to him? He secretly regarded the people around Yan Xianzhi as potential corrupt elements and checked all the backgrounds of these people. Facts have proved that he gained a lot.
