Chapter 191 Returning to Beijing
Chapter 191 Returning to Beijing
Wen Yichen and I's first reaction was that the Fifth Prince might be doing something secretly again.
As expected, my secret guard brought me news that the fifth prince was secretly colluding with others in the court.
We all thought he would do something bad, but we didn't expect him to do it so quickly.
We are also very puzzled. Where does he get the ability to attract so many people?
We rushed back without stopping. Although we encountered some problems on the way, we didn't have time to deal with them and returned quickly.
When we arrived, the Fifth Prince seemed to have expected it and was already waiting for us at the city gate.
This made us all have doubts.
But fortunately, when I arrived near Jincheng, I changed into women's clothes.
After all, no one knew about me when I first came out.
If I go back now disguised as a man, everyone will naturally know that I must have sneaked out.
The fifth prince held my hand, but I was a little sarcastic and said to me: “Oh, my dear, aren’t you sick and don’t see guests?
Why does it only appear here now?
What a coincidence!
Maybe you also knew that the third prince was coming back, and you were waiting for him here.
That's right. After all, you can't afford someone like me, so you can only go to him and see if he wants you.
Now you have lost the Prime Minister's Mansion and your halo. Who would want you?
If you beg me on your knees, I might think about whether I should continue to marry you.
But, don't even think about being my principal wife, you can only be my concubine."
I was speechless in my heart. Wen Yiheng's shamelessness has not changed until now.
He was quite confident and actually thought that I was still thinking about marrying him.
I also sneered at him: "Some people have dirty hearts, so everything they see is dirty.
Don't be too confident. What if I no longer have the Prime Minister's Mansion and my halo?
I still despise people like you.
I personally asked for the cancellation of the engagement, so do you think I will still marry you?
You don't think I'm the kind of person who can't live without you, do you? "
Wen Yiheng stared at me with his eyes wide open.
He said with some disbelief: “You will destroy it if you can’t get it.
Isn't it just bringing a woman home?
Which man in this world doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?
Are you still thinking that I don't want any harem just for you?
It would be fine if you had some value, but now you have no value at all.
You are just someone I abandoned."
I clapped my hands in applause.
He is such a thick-skinned person that no matter what I say to him, he thinks I am just making excuses.
I might as well not even look at him.
I actually bypassed him and went straight into the city.
The moment I turned around.
He held me back, and he felt offended by my attitude.
He immediately ordered the people around him to lift me up and made me kneel down and apologize to him.
When I look at his face, I feel extremely regretful. Why did I fall in love with such a person in my previous life?
He looked at my stubborn face, smiled, and said with some pride: "Today I will let you know what kind of status you really have.
Are you worthy of being with me?
If you kneel down and beg me now, I will spare you. Otherwise, just wait for your declining Luo Mansion to suffer misfortune."
I just found him hilarious. Where on earth did he get the confidence to say these things to me?
I spat in his face. He was obviously irritated by my behavior.
He immediately kicked me in the stomach.
Then he grabbed my hair, pressed my head to the ground and said, "You little bitch, how dare you do this to me? Today I'm going to teach you a lesson."
He wanted to take the next step, but I kicked the person who was trying to stop me to the ground.
He thought I just couldn't win the fight, but actually I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Since he has taken action first, there is no need for me to worry about anything.
I immediately kicked him in the stomach, then pinned his hands down and threw him to the ground.
Only then did he realize that I in this life seemed to be very different from the previous life.
Last time, I was so weak that I could barely lift many things. But in this life, I could easily throw him to the ground.
Our behavior attracted a lot of attention from passers-by.
But we all know what his true nature is, and even when they saw me teaching him a lesson, they knew it was all his fault.
There are also many people who watched it from beginning to end, and they all know how disgusting he is.
When I pushed him to the ground, many people applauded.
He became more and more rampant during the days we were away.
He joined forces with many people to secretly plunder the people's wealth behind the emperor's back.
The people were all having a hard time. Now seeing him like this, everyone was very happy.
I looked at Wen Yiheng who was under my feet, and I felt extremely happy.
I imitated the way he laughed at me and continued to laugh: "Weren't you quite capable just now? Why are you like this now?
The three of you can't beat me alone.
She's just a weak woman. Are you not even as good as a weak woman?
You're a guy who thinks you're superior to others.
How shameless.
I feel like you are from Dunhuang, there are so many murals."
Wen Yiheng gave his men a look.
Let them sneak up on me from behind.
What a pity that they just approached me. I threw them to the ground with just my two hands.
At this moment, he looked at me with bloodshot eyes, and he finally realized that I was a person he could not afford to offend in his life.
Even if I am away from the halo of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am still not someone he can bully.
Seeing that he could not get any good from me, he ordered his men to retreat, thinking that I would let him go.
But I'm having so much fun right now, how can I let him go?
I immediately stepped forward and kicked him in the lower body. He fell to the ground in pain.
I didn't hit him in any vital parts with this kick, so now is not the time to make him childless.
But the pain there was enough to last him for a while.
When I finished dealing with it, Wen Yichen and the others just arrived at the city gate.
Wen Yiheng wanted to embarrass them, but in his current situation, he had no choice but to roll on the ground with his hands covering his lower body to relieve the pain.
He sent all his servants away.
At this time, he could only watch us walk in.
His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but what was the use?
Now he can only express his dissatisfaction through emotions.
Wen Yichen looked at Wen Yiheng lying on the ground and couldn't help but taunt him: "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?
Why is your face so red?
Why did he fall to the ground? Could this be a new way of welcoming?
We've just returned, there's no need to make such a big fuss to welcome us.
You act like we are such great heroes.
Fifth brother, you look like you need to see a doctor."
After Wen Yichen finished speaking, he ordered his servants to pull him up.
Wen Yiheng was in such a state that he was truly embarrassed.
Chen Meng was already dissatisfied with him because of what happened last time. Now seeing him like this, he understood his intentions, which were just to get them to go back.
Under such circumstances, Chen Meng still stood up.
He looked at Wen Yiheng, who was in so much pain, and comforted him with a gloating look: "Fifth Prince, please take good care of yourself.
After all, there are so many beauties hidden in this mansion.
How heartbreaking it would be if we could only watch but not enjoy it.”
These words also deeply hurt Wen Yiheng's heart.
Now he was being carried by the servants, just like an adult carrying a chicken.
After we finished talking, we all ignored him and walked away.
The emperor was very happy to see us back.
But the emperor didn't know that I was there. Today I am just a passer-by.
The emperor immediately asked Wen Yichen and Chen Meng to go to the side hall to find him.
Unexpectedly, the emperor asked his sister to invite me into the palace.
This was not unexpected to me. I was a little scared.
Now I have no idea why he summoned me into the palace.
I went into the palace with a nervous mood. When I got there, I found that both Wen Yichen and Chen Meng were there.
The emperor also walked in from outside at this time.
We all looked at each other, and for a moment I didn't know why I entered the palace.
I was totally confused.
The emperor saw it and was not surprised. Let me sit down first.
Several of us wanted to stand up and salute, but the emperor told us not to salute and just sit down.
Emperor Hanhan served us a cup of tea.
I was so nervous that I kept drinking the water in the teacup.
The emperor also noticed my emotions and immediately comforted me, telling me not to be too nervous.
The emperor explained to us calmly: "Today, I want you to come.
Mainly, I want to understand the situation in Bacheng.
What's the situation over there?
Are the people living and working in peace and contentment?
Is there anything missing over there? If so, we can ship some more over here."
Seeing that Wen Yichen and Chen Meng did not answer.
The emperor smiled at me and said, "My dear, why don't you answer this question? I think they are unwilling to answer it."
I was just about to argue that I had never been there so how could I know?
The emperor did not give me any chance to explain, and immediately said: "Qingqing, I know you went there too, you just went there disguised as a man, right?
I knew it from the beginning, otherwise how do you think you would have been able to leave the capital so smoothly?
I don't mean to blame you. I know you are a good child.
In this case, you will definitely go."
When I heard the emperor's words, I felt reassured.
I began to describe in great detail how peaceful and prosperous the people of Ba were now.
They also lack things, including some food and the knowledge that would allow them to develop well.
There are a lot of orphans there now, and many of them have trouble even getting food, let alone going to school.
Many private school teachers also died in this earthquake, and a lot of knowledge may be lost.
If no one introduces this knowledge, the people there will fall further and further behind because of this disaster.
This disaster almost caused many of the technologies there to be lost.
Originally, any technique would only be taught to one disciple and then taught to him forever.
There were few people who mastered a technology to begin with, and now many people have died in the accident, so the technology there is not developing very well.
It now seems that what can be used to support this disaster is not just money and food, but also knowledge and technology.
I told the emperor all this in detail.
The emperor was very pleased after listening to me. These are aspects that no one else has thought about. Now I have listed all these problems.
In fact, the solutions to each of these disasters are similar. In the future, we can use the same template to carry out disaster relief next time.
Wen Yichen and Chen Meng also added that they had also witnessed how serious the damage caused by this disaster was.
After telling this story, the emperor mentioned Wen Yiheng to us again.
The emperor also knew Wen Yiheng, and he seemed to be the only one who was respected in the court recently.
The emperor also revealed a piece of news to us, that he had reported the list of names of people who had allowed Wen Yiheng to embezzle corruption after we left.
It is obvious that everyone on this list supports the Second Prince.
The emperor also privately asked us to investigate the corruption.
The emperor was also very clear that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Although the list was reported, there was definitely room for manipulation.
The emperor was not a despotic ruler, and it was not like these lists were presented to him and the so-called evidence was given.
Many of the people he would convict had followed him since his youth.
The stupidest thing Wen Yiheng did was that he thought the emperor would definitely give him the throne, but he ignored it.
The emperor was able to stand out from the previous one in the fight for the throne, which must have required a certain amount of courage and determination.
The three of us left the side hall. We felt overwhelmed. After finishing one thing, another one came up.
It is not easy to investigate corruption. They have been investigating for such a long time but have not found any clues.
Plus, Wen Yiheng was trying to take advantage of the situation. One can imagine how difficult this matter was to handle.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to accomplish this task with just the three of us.
We had no choice but to ask for external help again.
After Chen Meng returned, he immediately went to find Lin Miaoke and gave her all the things he had brought with him.
Lin Miaoke was very excited to see him coming back, and she also saw that he brought a lot of things with him. Naturally, she was very happy.
Looking at Chen Meng, who was thinner than before, Lin Miaoke still felt distressed. He also knew that he must have suffered a lot during this trip.
