Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 50 In-laws
Rong Guiren was secretly executed by the first emperor. After all, the news that the concubine abused the prince is not good.

More than ten years have passed, and the name Ronggui has long been forgotten in the torrent of time. They only know how ruthless Fu Mingjue is, but they don't know why he became what he is today.

Both the eldest princess and the empress cared about Fu Mingjue, but to the empress dowager and Fu Xiuyun, Fu Mingjue was the biggest hidden danger.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, and Fu Xiuyun has to do something.

Stay out of it, or help?

After Ling Youyao got off the eldest princess's carriage, she returned to the palace with her thoughts on her mind.

Mingyue is now locked in a big prison, and her execution has not yet come down, but Ling Youyao knows that she cannot escape death.

Although Fu Xiuyun did not disclose Mingyue's real identity, there were many people at the palace banquet, and the fact that Mingyue admitted that she was the daughter of Princess Nishang was probably spread in the capital secretly.

Then, after the Yuanwuwei hiding in the dark gets the news, will he save Mingyue?
If Mingyue is rescued, she will definitely come back. If Yuanwuwei does not get rid of it for a day, it is like a thorn in the sole of the foot. Every step I take, I have to take care of the thorn embedded in the sole of the foot.

But now, who can pull out this thorn?

——Besides Fu Mingjue, there is no other person.

As Ling Youyao thought, Fu Xiuyun handed over the search of Yuanwuwei to Fu Mingjue.

Inside the Chengming Hall, Fu Xiuyun leaned on the back of the chair, with a trace of sickly paleness on his face, "Don't let me down."

"I obey the order." Fu Mingjue nodded.

Fu Xiuyun coughed twice, and said, "Don't take your mother's words to heart, she doesn't know your plan and mine, she was just angry for a while."

In fact, he didn't really faint yesterday, he also heard what the Queen Mother said.

It's not that there was no suspicion, but it was never shown.

The late emperor was so partial to Fu Mingjue that he even handed Xuan Yuwei over to him, but did he ever consider Fu Xiuyun who is the crown prince?

If Xuan Yuwei returned to Fu Xiuyun's hands, maybe he would choose to believe in Fu Mingjue, and would call him "seventh brother" as before.

Fu Mingjue didn't care much about what the Queen Mother said. Didn't he hear a lot these years?

He just said lightly: "I understand."

Fu Xiuyun didn't say any more, but remembered the matter of Mingyue again, and asked: "Have you found out the details of that maid?"

"I have found out that she is indeed the daughter of Princess Nishang." Fu Mingjue said, "I was raised by a merchant in Huaizhou. I have checked, and that merchant is Mrs. Feng Zonghai's distant cousin."

"Huaizhou?" Fu Xiuyun pondered for a moment, "I remember that the Ling family is from Huaizhou."

When he said this, he didn't suspect that the Ling family had a relationship with Mingyue, he just thought it was a coincidence.

Fu Mingjue found out about this a long time ago, and did not hide it, he said: "Exactly, the current prefect of Huaizhou is the eldest son of the second house of the Ling family, Ling Annian."

The Ling family split up in the generation of their great-grandfather. At that time, Ling Yuwei and Ling Annian participated in Chunwei at the same time. One was awarded Tanhualang, and the other was only a second-class Jinshi.In order to stay in the capital as an official, Ling Yu went from Zhongshu Sheren to the cabinet all the way.

However, Ling Annian ran into obstacles everywhere in Beijing, and finally returned to Huaizhou, where he became a parent official.

After so many years, Ling Yuwei rarely returned to Huaizhou, and had no correspondence with Ling Anian, so even if he wanted to make a fuss about it, he couldn't start.

It was precisely because he knew this that Fu Mingjue dared to tell Fu Xiuyun without any scruples.

Fu Xiuyun really didn't intend to take action against Ling Yuwei, and said: "I know, you have worked hard these few days, so go back first."

"Yes, I will take my leave." Fu Mingjue bowed and withdrew.

After he left, Fu Xiuyun suddenly asked Manager Li next to him: "Do you know Ling Annian?"

Manager Li lowered his brows and replied: "About Ling Zhifu, this old slave has only heard about it."

"tell me the story."

What happened to Ling Annian was nothing but silly things, but Director Li understood what Fu Xiuyun wanted to hear, so he picked up nonsense and talked about it.

"Ling Annian hasn't been promoted in recent years. He has gone around a lot and sent letters to Lord Ling, but he has not received any approval. Regarding this, Ling Annian feels nothing. After all, the couple have been together for more than ten years. I have not contacted, and the late emperor once strictly prohibited officials from giving and receiving privately."

"But his wife doesn't think so."

Fu Xiuyun became interested: "Oh? How should I say it?"

Manager Li continued: "Ling Annian's wife, Mrs. Chang, is the daughter of a businessman. Ms. Chang has a high spirit, and she often compares Master Ling with Ling Annian."

"When the imperial decree of marriage came down, the Chang family also got the letter, and they wanted to come to the capital to recognize their relatives. Everyone they met said that Princess Jing was her cousin's daughter, and also called you, Your Majesty."

Manager Li suddenly paused, not knowing whether to continue talking.

"Tell me what?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Mr. Li said with a guilty conscience, "Ms. Chang said, Your Majesty, you are now her Ling family's in-law. According to your seniority, you should also call her aunt."

"Bold!" Fu Xiuyun sternly said, "A stupid woman is worthy of talking about in-laws with me?"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Fu Xiuyun snorted lightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Ling Annian has been the magistrate for long enough, it's time for a new one."

Then, he issued an imperial decree——

The Feng family executed him three days later, and the court lady Mingyue bestowed the punishment of Ling Chi, and executed within a few days.

In addition, the remnants of the previous dynasty had been hiding in Huaizhou for many years. As the prefect of Huaizhou, Ling Annian didn't realize it at all.

Ling Annian, who was far away in Huaizhou, was happily preparing for his daughter's engagement, but he never thought that the imperial edict of exile was already on the way.

The two edicts came out at the same time, and no one cared about the fate of a magistrate, because their eyes were all fixed on the bright moon.

On the contrary, Fu Mingjue told Ling Youyao about the handling of the prefect of Huaizhou.

After hearing this, Ling Youyao's expression became serious for a moment, and she said, "Is Your Majesty suspicious of the Ling family?"

Father and Huaizhou have been in contact for many years, logically speaking, there should be no doubts about Ling's family.

Fu Mingjue closed the informant he had just delivered, and said, "It's not that he suspects the Ling family, he just wants to find something for me to do."

"What do you mean?" Ling Youyao didn't understand.

"Your cousin has a daughter who just got engaged to the second son of Uncle Yongchang's mansion the day before yesterday, and received the imperial decree to exile in Juzhou yesterday. After Uncle Yongchang learned about it, he immediately withdrew the marriage."

Ling Youyao thought about it carefully, but she had no impression of this cousin.

Fu Mingjue continued: "It's hard to get into this marriage, but now it's confused by this imperial decree. Ling Annian thinks he's unlucky, but his wife is not an easy-going lamp."

"What happened?" Ling Youyao asked.

But Fu Mingjue stopped talking, put away his things, got up and prepared to go out: "What happened, you might as well ask your elder brother."

Ling Youyao: "."

It's really appetizing.
