PFC Chapter 423 Provocation
Chapter 423 Provocation
When Qin Baihe arrived at the palace, Prince Min was being escorted out by several imperial guards.
"My lord, are you okay?"
Upon seeing that it was Qin Baihe, King Min's expression suddenly changed.
"Didn't you see that?"
Although the Emperor did not punish him in person, he will probably be in deep trouble when the case is investigated.
"Your Majesty, I was just worried about you! You know, I'll be giving birth soon..."
Qin Baihe touched her belly, her face full of grievance.
"Consort, Prince Min is currently only being confined to his residence! You can say whatever you want when you get back!"
Just as Qin Baihe was about to get any closer, Lin Li stepped forward and separated them.
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing this situation, Qin Baihe thought to herself, "This is bad."
She thought she could persuade the emperor to agree because of the child in her womb, but it was too late.
Although it is unknown how far things have progressed, the current situation is clearly unfavorable to the prince.
"Let's go, let's talk about it when we go back!"
He glanced behind him, and as he turned his head, Qin Baihe saw Shao Zhan watching them from behind.
That is?
"Cough cough..."
Min Wang coughed softly, intending to remind Qin Baihe.
King Min knew exactly what Qin Baihe was thinking.
She was simply using the child in her belly as an excuse, but Shao Zhan was still behind her. He would never allow Qin Baihe to throw a tantrum in front of her father to gain sympathy.
Hearing what Min Wang said, Qin Baihe finally looked away.
"Then let's go back!"
After everyone left, Xishan walked out from the side.
"How's the check going?"
Xishan glanced at her master, then said with difficulty, "Master, the person behind all that happened today is the Crown Prince..."
Upon hearing that it was the Crown Prince of Wei, Shao Zhan exclaimed in surprise.
"you sure?"
"Yes, according to the information provided by our informant, Wu Dongjia did not go to Hongfu Restaurant today, but went to Hanqing Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to offer incense."
I thought all of this was Wu Weiwei's revenge on Princess Yazhen, but I never expected that she was also a victim.
Shao Zhan rested his chin on his hand, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. If the princess asks, answer truthfully!"
"I know, little one!"
Hanqing Temple.
"Chunxiao, has the matter on Master's side been settled?"
Chunxiao nodded.
The girl's request for Wanqiu to impersonate her and come to offer incense was actually a ruse to lull the enemy into a false sense of security.
Now that things over there have been settled, she has naturally come to take Wanqiu back!
Hearing that her master's matter had been settled, Wanqiu removed her veil and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was offering incense, Wanqiu made an excuse that she had fallen, and then asked the abbot for a room to rest in.
Now that the matter was settled, she could rest assured.
"Let's go down the mountain!"
From within the dense forest, the faint sound of a man's voice could be heard.
"Here, this is the two hundred taels I promised you. This matter is known only to heaven, earth, and you. If you dare to leak it out, my master will never forgive you!"
Did you remember that?
"Young master, don't worry!"
"We brothers will never reveal that we threatened Liu Taifu's daughter..."
As the two were descending the mountain, they happened to overhear a conversation among several people.
The daughter of Grand Tutor Liu, isn't that Liu Shuning?
Wanqiu looked at Chunxiao in surprise, only to see Chunxiao gesture for her to be quiet.
"Okay, good that you know the rules! If I need work next time, I'll come back to you!"
A thin page handed a heavy money bag to one of the burly men, who accepted it with a grin and then left with another man.
After the two men left, the page also left the dense forest.
Watching the pageboy's departing figure, Wanqiu said in surprise, "Chunxiao, I think I've seen that pageboy before. He is... he is the servant boy beside that poor scholar whom Miss Liu likes, I think his name is something like Xiao Yuanzi..."
"Oh, really?"
Chunxiao responded with a faint "yes".
She had obviously overheard their conversation.
Although she doesn't pay attention to others, if she remembers correctly, the Miss Liu mentioned by the page just now seems to have always regarded her master as a rival in love.
Wanqiu glanced at Chunxiao and realized that she and Chunxiao seemed to be on different wavelengths.
"Come on, let's go back quickly. I need to tell the girl about this!"
Liu Shuning was threatened, and it was done by someone hired by that poor scholar. There must be some ulterior motive behind this.
Haha, it looks like that Miss Liu is in for some bad luck!
Looking at Wanqiu walking ahead with great enthusiasm, Chunxiao shook her head helplessly.
Mei Lane.
The eldest princess sent someone again, this time it was Hua Yi.
“Princess Weiwei, our eldest princess will be returning tomorrow.”
She sent a message through her maid: Even if you don't acknowledge her, her blood still flows in your veins. As her daughter, the Emperor dares not send you off to marry a foreign ruler.
If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can send a message to Le'an County!
No matter what, you are her only daughter, and she won't just stand by and watch you be coerced!
Of course, the princess's original words were not as harsh as she said. When she left, Granny Shi specifically instructed her to lower her posture as much as possible and to be more tactful in her attitude.
But their mistress is the eldest princess of the Great Wei Dynasty, why should she bow down to a junior?
Looking at Wu Weiwei's calm expression, Hua Yi scoffed inwardly.
In her opinion, what merits did Wu Weiwei possess that made her master bow his head time and time again?
Hearing Hua Yi's words, Ling Fu beside her curled her lip.
Where was the eldest princess all this time?!
Our daughter just settled the matter of the marriage alliance, and now this girl pops up telling our master not to worry. It's really laughable!
Wu Weiwei raised her eyes, but her expression remained indifferent.
"Okay, I get it!"
Looking at Wu Weiwei's expressionless face, Hua Yi's half-raised eyes revealed deep dissatisfaction.
Her master had resolved such a major issue as a marriage alliance for her, yet Wu Weiwei showed no gratitude whatsoever, not even a simple thank you.
He really is just like that person, selfish and cold-hearted.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for her master.
After Huayi left, Lingfu muttered, "Miss, that auntie doesn't look like a good person at all. Look at her arrogant attitude when she speaks, and look at her zombie face, it's so stiff and lifeless..."
This doesn't look like an attempt to ease tensions at all!
It was more like advising their master to be sensible and accept the princess's kindness sooner rather than later.
Wu Weiwei certainly didn't miss the fleeting dissatisfaction in Hua Yi's eyes, but so what!
She didn't even care about the eldest princess, let alone a mere servant.
"Your Highness, I just relayed your words to the Princess verbatim, but the Princess... she..."
"What did Vera say?"
The princess stared at Hua Yi, eager to know Wu Weiwei's reaction.
Hua Yi's lowered eyes flickered for a moment before she said with difficulty, "The princess said that because you, the eldest princess, have done so many bad things to her, she doesn't want you as her mother."
She also said that even if she encounters difficulties in the future, she will never come to you!
