Lady Wan Guan

A carriage slowly drove in from the south city gate. While waiting for inspection, Shen Jingshan, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the words of people who were also waiting for inspection.

"Who would have thought that the person behind this would be the Crown Princess."

"No, I heard that the Crown Princess and Mrs. Lu were in the grain business together and wanted to take advantage of the grain shortage in Dengzhou to make a fortune. It happened that Doctor Jiang also shipped a batch of grain to Dengzhou on the order of Princess Changping. Zhou, he set up a tent there to provide porridge and sold grain at a fair price, which caused the Crown Princess and Mrs. Lu to be unable to sell their grain, and they suffered a huge loss, so they resented Doctor Jiang."

"Doctor Jiang is such a good person! She usually gives medicine to the poor people, so I said she can't be that kind of vicious woman."

"Tch, old Qian, you were the one who scolded me the most in the past few days."

"Can you blame me? Those rumors are made by anyone with noses and eyes. Who wouldn't believe them to be true?"

Shen Jingshan opened the car curtain: "Are you talking about Mrs. Jiang from Sanxitang?"

"Exactly." said the passerby.

"What happened to her?"

"Is Mr. Lang coming back from other places?"

"Well, I'm on a long trip and won't be in the capital for some days."

"Then you've missed a great show."

Shen Jingshan smiled and took out a money bag: "I'll treat you to tea and tell me about this wonderful show."

Half an hour later, Shen Jingshan came out of the teahouse with a sneer on his lips. The stupid Crown Princess and the stupid Mrs. Lu attacked people without understanding anything. They thought they were soft persimmons who could be manipulated at will. Zhi kicked the iron plate.

Sigh... If only he had come back a day earlier. He really missed a good show.

In the palace, Gu Zhouting came out of the imperial study and was dragged away by someone before he had gone far.

Gu Zhouting didn't struggle and wasn't surprised, because it was Prince Xiao Wang who pulled him.

Xiao Wang pulled Gu Zhouting to a place where no one was around before letting go.

"Gu Zhouting, have you gone too far? Even if Si Yue is at fault, can't you just cover it up for my sake?" Xiao Wang was very angry.

Gu Zhouting looked at him coldly: "When I interrogated Mrs. Lu, I had already blocked out the irrelevant people. I only showed Mrs. Lu's testimony to the emperor alone. If it involves the royal family, I don't dare to hide it." No? This is because of the little affection we have left, and it is also the first time that I, Gu Zhou, have shown favoritism since I stopped serving as Minister of Dali Temple. Otherwise, the whole city would already know what the Crown Princess has done."

Xiao Wang gritted his molars: "Why didn't you tell me first?"

Instead, he went directly to see the emperor.

"What do you want me to tell you? You know better than me what kind of person the Crown Princess is. You should still think about how to explain to the Emperor. You just recommended Mr. Yu from the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Yu fell into the scandal of cutting corners on the Baisha River embankment. Yes. Madam Lu said that she gave the Crown Princess 1 taels, and then the Crown Princess offered him the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. Will you accept the 1 taels, or will the Crown Princess accept it?"

Xiao Wang was stunned: "Is this happening?"

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "I didn't write this matter in the file. You should go and deal with it quickly!"

Xiao Wang thanked him and hurried to the East Palace. Halfway there, Xiao Wang stopped and looked back in the direction he came from. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.Xiao Wang returned to the East Palace and went straight to Qin Siyue's bedroom.

Biluo came forward and said, "His Royal Highness."

"Get out."

Biluo was startled and looked back at the Crown Princess.

Qin Siyue saw that the prince's face was gloomy, like dark clouds about an approaching storm, and his heart trembled. The time had come after all.

She asked Yu Qing to go to Dali Temple to inquire about the news, but Yu Qing never came back. Later she found out that Yu Qing was taken away by people from Dali Temple as soon as he left the palace, and she knew that something was wrong.

"I asked you to get out, are you deaf?" Xiao Wang's voice was as cold as an ice lump.

Biluo lowered her head and left the dormitory, closed the door behind her, and asked all the eunuchs working in the courtyard to exit the courtyard. She stood at the foot of the steps guarding the door.

"Qin Siyue, you did a good job." Xiao Wang clenched and unclenched his fist behind his back, unclenched and clenched it again, struggling to control the urge to take action.

Qin Siyue's eyes were filled with tears: "Your Highness, please calm down. I do have a problem with Dr. Jiang because of Si Lang's affairs. I just complained a few words to Mrs. Lu. I swear, I really did not instruct Mrs. Lu to deal with Jiang." Doctor, it’s all Mrs. Lu’s own decision..."

Xiao Wang sneered coldly: "Is it just because of Si Lang? Isn't it because Dr. Jiang ruined the country's fortune for both of you?"

Qin Siyue's pupils tightened and she looked at the prince in fear. How did the prince know about this?
Looking at her reaction, Xiao Wang knew it was true: "Stupid woman, Lu Shanshan did everything. You gave her 5 taels, and we jointly started a grain business. They sold it in Dengzhou for 17 taels and one stone, and ended up losing a fortune." All money lost.”

"It's not that you don't know that my father has trouble sleeping and eating because of the food shortage in the north, but you still want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune in Dengzhou. Are you taking the courage of a bear and a leopard?"

Qin Siyue was really panicked: "Your Highness, I was confused for a moment. Lu Shanshan said that many people are doing this business. I didn't think so much, so..."

"You haven't thought so much. Are those elm knots on your neck? You are so obsessed with making money for the country that it is difficult for you, and you have the audacity to sell your official position in my name. When you come here, you say that Lu Yiming is your father's most important person." For the sake of being a proud subordinate, I will give Mr. Yu a chance. Qin Siyue, you want to make me the target of public criticism. Do you want me, the crown prince, to be deposed? "

When he thought that he had strongly recommended Mr. Yu to the court yesterday, Xiao Wang wanted to slap himself a few times.

Qin Siyue knelt down in fright: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, listen to my concubine's explanation. The 1 taels are Lu Shanshan's compensation for the loss to my concubine. It is not money from selling an official position. It just happened that Lu Shanshan learned that a doctor from the Ministry of Industry had There is a vacancy, please help me, really, I can swear to God, these are two different things."

Xiao Wang laughed angrily: "Qin Siyue, do you believe this statement?"

Instead, his eyes became colder and full of disgust: "As early as when you plotted against me, I should have known that people like you are a disaster."

"I think you are done as the Crown Princess. Even if I can tolerate you, my father cannot tolerate a daughter-in-law who dares to enrich the country and sell her official position."

After Xiao Wang said this, he turned around and left decisively. He was going to his father to apologize and then divorce this stupid woman.

Qin Siyue was stunned on the spot, what did the prince mean by this?
Did the prince want to divorce her?

Qin Siyue was startled, got up quickly, and chased after him. He stumbled and fell down the stone steps.

Biluo hurriedly helped her up, but Qin Siyue's legs were weak and could not stand up: "Hurry up and chase His Highness. You must chase His Highness back. Tell him, if he doesn't come back, I will hang him up immediately." Die here."
