Chapter 153 Scare
"Just make do with it..." Xie Shuhui lacked interest.

Wei Shi pushed her head, and cursed with a smile: "Don't look down on her. That Sheng Fuqing won the first place at a young age, and he is not inferior to your cousin at all. Your cousin entered the cabinet, but it's not good for you." Sheng Fu moved out of the way lightly, maybe he is the future Prime Minister. The name of the Prime Minister's wife is so impressive to say!"

Xie Shuhui gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "No matter how airy you are, can you be louder than the Crown Princess? When I see Xie Tinglan, don't I have to bow my knees and salute her? If the Crown Prince succeeds in the future, every time I order my wife to go to the palace to see her, I will have to marry her." Kneel... Mom, just say you can swallow this breath?"

Wei Shi was speechless, and said helplessly: "Then what do you want to do? Now King Qi... is already at the end of his battle. Concubine Jiang has also been demoted and out of favor. It's good that mother can get you out, don't you?" I know that the maid beside Jiang Guifei came to look for me that day."

She squinted her eyes and sneered, and said: "When her son gained power, he looked down on you everywhere. Every time you went to the palace to visit her, she didn't see her taking you to eat. Now you are down and out, and your marriage with the Qi family is also difficult." Turned yellow, she thought of you now. Hmph! Don't look at the current situation of King Qi, even if it is a concubine, there is no noble lady in this court!"

What King Qi committed caused public anger, and now the people of Qingzhou are looking forward to King Qi being abolished, so that they can vent their grievances accumulated over the past year.

Even if he survived, can the crown prince let King Qi go?

The current emperor is soft-hearted and does not want to kill the king of Qi. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, even if such a brother is killed, the people will applaud him.

You can get a glimpse of King Qi's fate. Naturally, no one wants their daughter to marry to King Qi's mansion, and then her head will be killed, or go to the frontier to suffer.

Qi Sisi's grandfather, the elder of the two dynasties, had already been dismissed and returned to the farmland. Hearing about this, he hurried back from his hometown and dared to return to the capital.

Crying with snot and tears in front of the imperial court, she begged the emperor to dissolve their engagement.

King Qi is now a hot potato, and no one wants to touch it.

It's ridiculous that Concubine Jiang still refuses to accept this fact. She has been busy these days, running around for her son, looking for someone who can help.

The family letters for help were sent out one by one, but few of them ever left the palace.

A few sporadic letters that arrived outside the door of the Duke's Mansion were also rejected by the concierge.

This book can reach the door, it is obvious that the emperor released the water, and wanted to see the British public's attitude towards this matter.

Can the British public not see it?

It's one thing for him to feel sorry for his grandson and daughter, but no matter what, he can't let the whole family play with his grandson.

A look of disappointment flashed across Xie Shuhui's eyes.

She still liked Prince Qi very much in her heart, leaving aside the heart of comparing with Xie Tinglan, she showed courtesy to Prince Qi afterwards, it was all from the heart to please.

After all, King Qi was handsome, and his manner and conversation were elegant and polite, just like the people in the storybook.

Wei Shi looked at her and said: "Okay, don't think about King Qi anymore. Mother finally got you out, so don't be stupid and jump in again! In the past, even if King Qi couldn't ascend the throne , is also a prince, and now he may be abolished as a commoner, and he will be imprisoned for three thousand miles. Do you want to follow him all the way to the border to live?"

Thinking about that day, Xie Shuhui couldn't help shaking, and shook her head vigorously, "Mother, I don't want to think about King Qi anymore. But, but I don't like Sheng Fuqing either!"

She frowned and said, "I always think his mother is a bit strange, and she always looks at me with dark eyes. I'm afraid she didn't like me either."

The corner of Wei's mouth pressed down, and he snorted coldly and said, "How dare she look down on you because she is a shabby householder? Her son is not yet the prime minister. With his current official position, your father can easily get him demoted from the capital. If the Sheng family dares to bully you, mother will prevent her son from entering the capital for the rest of his life."

Xie Shuhui suddenly interrupted Wei Shi.

"Mother, what do you think will happen if I marry the prince?"

Wei Shi was shocked, with shock in his eyes, "You, Hui'er..."

"Don't worry, mother, I figured it out."

Xie Shuhui said slowly: "King Qi told my daughter about this matter, it is useless to just guess who can make things happen. Maybe a dark horse will jump out one day, and I will be dumbfounded by then. So I don't think about anyone now. Anyway, new In the year when the emperor ascends the throne, there will definitely be a national election, and in my capacity, I am a concubine, so I might as well prepare for that time."

Wei Shi smiled, not expecting Xie Shuhui to have such awareness, she nodded slightly.

"You're right. But Hui'er, have you ever thought that if the crown prince succeeds, even if you enter the palace, it will be..."

"Then don't let her marry!"

Xie Shuhui clenched her fists tightly, "Anyway, there are still more than two months left, and sooner or later I will come up with an idea to make her fall short!"

...

...

A few days later, Xie Mansion.

Fang Jingyu and Lin Dong both stood in front of Xie Tinglan, one expressionless, the other a bit guilty.

Xie Tinglan glanced at the two people, smiled helplessly, and said, "What's going on, let's talk."

Not long ago, Yuxiu hurried in and told her that Fang Jingyu had come to the house and said he wanted to see her, but before he could step through the door, someone restrained him and dragged him away.

Fang Jingyu struggled desperately and almost made a fuss, but luckily the servants from the back door came to tell Yuxiu.

Afraid of disturbing the rest of the Xie family, Yuxiu first asked Shen Jiu to find both of them.

Obviously, it was Lin Dong who wanted to drag Fang Jingyu away.

Neither of them opened their mouths, Xie Tinglan looked at Lin Dong and asked, "You didn't follow the prince, why did you follow him?"

Before Lin Dong replied, Fang Jingyu sneered and said, "Isn't it just to monitor me?"

Lin Dong categorically denied it, saying: "His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to protect Mr. Fang's safety. But Mr. Fang refused to cooperate, and misunderstood his subordinates."

"Impressive." Fang Jingyu commented.

Xie Tinglan asked bluntly: "Then His Highness told you not to let him see me?"

Lin Dong explained: "Your Highness is afraid that Mr. Fang will meet with his wife. If he is accidentally seen by others, it will put his wife in danger."

Xie Tinglan frowned twice, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Who told you to call me that?"

"Below the marriage decree, the subordinates are just calling to adapt first. His Highness did not let the subordinates call that."

To tell the truth, she didn't pretend to be self-confessed, Yuxiu covered her mouth beside her and couldn't help laughing.

Lin Dong didn't realize it until she finished speaking, her ears turned red.

Xie Tinglan didn't care about this anymore, she glanced at Fang Jingyu and said, "Why are you so angry, what happened?"

After Fang Jingyu was rescued by the prince, she has been living in the house arranged by the prince.

Fu Pingye was trying to prevent Fu Min and King Qi's people from finding him, not because he was petty and didn't want him to live with Xie Tinglan.

Xie Tinglan was relieved of Fu Pingye's work, so he didn't contact Fang Jingyu for a while.

I thought Fang Jingyu should be very happy when the truth about King Qi's demise and his father's brother's case was vindicated, but looking at it now, he doesn't seem to be very happy.

Fang Jingyu sneered and said, "If you were imprisoned, would you be happy?"

"I just came to ask you about King Qi, so I was guarded by his people and not allowed to approach the Xie Mansion. If I hadn't sneaked out today when he was returning to the East Palace, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you."

Lin Dong glanced at Fang Jingyu unkindly, "Your Highness has already explained to you very clearly about King Qi."

"Winter."

Xie Tinglan interrupted him indifferently, looked at Fang Jingyu and said, "Go out first."

Lin Dong narrowed her eyes and nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

After finishing speaking, he followed Yuxiu out of the house.

Yuxiu closed the door, looked at Ling Dong curiously, and said with a smile: "Rin Dong, you really listen to Miss."

I'm afraid Fang Jingyu is dissatisfied with King Qi's current fate, that's why she repeatedly clamored to come to Xie's mansion to see Miss.

But the crown prince didn't want Fang Jingyu to harass Xie Tinglan, so he asked Lin Dong to watch him every day.

Now that Lin Dong didn't mind letting the person in, she thought that Lin Dong would try her best to prevent Fang Jingyu from being alone with Xie Tinglan.

Unexpectedly, with a word from Xie Tinglan, Lin Dong would come out.

Lin Dong glanced at Yuxiu, but didn't answer.

I thought to myself, can I not listen?That's madam.

If Fang Jingyu didn't keep an eye on him, he would be given two lashes at most. If he didn't listen to Madam's words, he would annoy Madam...

It's not something that can be solved with two or three strokes of the whip.

Inside the room, Xie Tinglan signaled Fang Jingyu to sit down, and said softly, "It's such a big deal, why are you getting so angry."

Fang Jingyu was very ungrateful and said, "You don't keep your word."

The flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly, "Why is King Qi still alive and well!"

Xie Tinglan smiled and said, "Don't you know that the emperor couldn't have killed King Qi for this matter, after all, King Qi's great-grandfather was an important minister of the late emperor, and his family didn't have any major faults in the court , if King Qi is killed, the Jiang family will complain, and there will be hidden dangers."

She pulled up her sleeves and poured tea slowly, and said: "But if King Qi is spared, and he is demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life. Then we can relieve the disaster in Qingzhou and appease the victims, and the matter will be suppressed, and the grievances of the people will be calmed down." , and won’t anger the Duke’s government…”

Fang Jingyu roared angrily: "You obviously didn't say that at the beginning! You said you would avenge my whole family, but now my enemy is still alive and well! Don't say such nonsense that death is cheaper for him! He is the prince, Even if he was degraded as a commoner and imprisoned in the clan's mansion, he would still be served with good food and drink! You can live a good life in confinement. But my father and elder brother are dead! I want him to pay for my father and elder brother's life!"

"The emperor doesn't want to kill him, so let someone kill him! Let the prince's people kill him! You promised me this!"

"You think the Englishman is a fool?"

Xie Tinglan looked at him, "If King Qi is assassinated, the Crown Prince will be the first one to hold grudges. Even if King Qi falls, the Duke of England's power is still there. Why should Your Highness and I take this risk for you? To draw the hatred of the Duke of England."

"Even if you don't kill him, the Duke of England still knows about King Qi, the prince did it, and he will still target the prince."

"His only grandson is dead. Who knows what the British Duke will do when he is angry? No one with a brain would do such a thing to anger a minister who is still holding a lot of power."

Fang Jingyu was speechless, he clenched his hands tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not willing to fulfill your promise, are you?"

Xie Tinglan smiled, "I never said I would break my promise. You are the one who can't bear to go crazy here. Fang Jingyu, if you are always so impulsive and foolhardy, after the matter is over, you will stay away from the capital and Victoria forever. Don't get any closer to Xiaoxiao. Otherwise you will kill her sooner or later."

Fang Jingyu was dizzy with anger, and said with a sneer, "The hypocrisy is extreme. She keeps saying that it is for Wei Yuanshan's good, but in fact she just wants to threaten me with Wei Yuanshan!"

"You don't want me to threaten you. Do you think you have a way to handle me? Can you report me? Or report the prince? Even if you turn your back on Fu Rong and Fu Min now, if they believe it or not, you can tell me otherwise. What? Will you surrender to the enemy who killed your family?"

Xie Tinglan's smile is very beautiful, but in Fang Jingyu's eyes, it looks like an extremely beautiful, but extremely poisonous flower.

It made him feel cold and trembling.

He thought dumbly, Xie Tinglan is too good at disguising, he guessed right before, every word Xie Tinglan said was to coax him to help at that time.

How could he be so stupid, he believed Xie Tinglan!
Fang Jingyu lowered her head, her inner defenses gradually collapsed, and a second before she was about to collapse, Xie Tinglan spoke.

"I didn't mean to scare you on purpose, but you are always too naive, impulsive and reckless in your words and actions, and you don't have any brains at all."

Fang Jingyu looked up at Xie Tinglan in a daze.

Xie Tinglan pushed the teacup to the side, raised his chin, and signaled him to sit down.

Fang Jingyu thought about it, stepped forward and sat down.

After taking two sips of herbal tea, he frowned and looked at Xie Tinglan, hesitantly asked, "What did you just say?"

"It's the truth."

Xie Tinglan rubbed the cup wall, "After the matter is over, you can go wherever you want, just don't go to Weizhou, don't harm Wei Yuanshan."

Fang Jingyu pursed her lips tightly, and then released them tremblingly after a while, her lips were pale.

"The Duke's Mansion is indeed difficult to deal with, so if you want to completely get rid of King Qi, you must also pull out his reliance. I mean, do you understand?"

Fang Jingyu asked, "When will it be?"

"Your Highness and I hope to be stable for a while after we get married." Xie Tinglan glanced at Fang Jingyu, seeing his face gradually showing joy, he knew that this person had finally been appeased.

Fang Jingyu was happy for a while, then slowly calmed down.

He frowned a little annoyed, thinking that he would believe whatever Xie Tinglan said.

In case she lied to herself, what she just said was true...

Fang Jingyu pursed her lips, even he had no choice but to trust Xie Tinglan now.

Fang Jingyu looked at Xie Tinglan and said, "I was too impulsive just now. Sorry."

"It's because the prince...he refused to tell me anything, so I..." Fang Jingyu subconsciously dragged Fu Pingye on his back.

He was right!

If Fu Pingye was willing to explain to him, he wouldn't be troubled every day, and finally pushed himself to this point.

Fang Jingyu shrinks her neck guiltily.

Completely explained the prince patiently to him, but he didn't listen because he was too angry, so the matter was skipped.

Xie Tinglan was about to say something when an angry voice came from under the window:

"Fang Jingyu, how dare you slander Gu!?"
