I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

"Okay, I was wrong. How about I give you a shoulder massage?"

As she spoke, Yueying began to massage Ouyang Yanqing's shoulders and back.

Ouyang Yanqing closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while before speaking.

"The prince was eager to gain merit, so the fabricated evidence could not stand up to scrutiny, and he handed all these matters over to Qin Shu to handle."

"No way, for a prince of a country, isn't this a bit too weak in combat power?"

"Why do you praise your husband's fighting ability so much?"

"He is far worse than you. This has always been the case. I just didn't expect this operation to be so poor."

Yueying curled her lips, she didn't expect the prince to be such a weakling.

"But the emperor will probably only give him a minor punishment."

Ouyang Yanqing pulled Yueying's hand from her shoulder and squeezed it in his own.

"Why? Does the Emperor like the Prince very much?"

In terms of character setting, the emperor prefers the third prince. Even though he designed the original owner to marry a playboy, the emperor still intended to give Ouyang Yanqing a chance in the end. The original text is that Hua Yueli felt sorry for the prince's feelings for her, but because she and Ouyang Yanqing loved each other, she asked him to choose between her and the country. Ouyang Yanqing chose Hua Yueli and quietly hid his power.

"What thoughts can the superiors have about a family that is as rich as a country?"

Ouyang Yanqing spoke frankly and smiled slightly.

"But the case has been vindicated, so shouldn't the money be returned?"

Although I can't return it all, I should at least return most of it, right?

"It has already been used for disaster relief, how can I return it?"

Yueying thought about it and decided that between money and power, power is more important.

"A title or a noble title?"

"almost."

"Speaking of which, Master is really miserable. You guys have schemed against me like this. I have really sold myself out, and now I have to help you count the money."

"I didn't participate in it. You are wrongly accusing a good person."

"A good guy? If it were you, how would you handle it?"

"If I rob a wealthy businessman, there will be other wealthy businessmen to take his place. It is better to participate in it, become half the owner, and let them make money for me."

Oh my god, isn't this just buying shares? The male lead can do it, Yueying looked at Ouyang Yanqing thoughtfully and nodded.

Ouyang Yanqing thought Yueying just agreed with this method, but he didn't expect that the other party was praising his own brain.

As expected, things developed in the expected direction, with all mistakes being borne by the lower-level officials. The prince was only punished by the emperor with house arrest for one month and a one-year salary fine on the grounds of negligence in handling the case.

What Yueying didn't expect was that Ouyang Honghe opened up the source of income for the emperor, and Ouyang Yanqing also gave the emperor a way to save money - work-in-lieu-of-relief.

Build canals and reservoirs to divert water from rivers and lakes to water-scarce towns.

This would require a lot of manpower, which is just the right way to use work-for-relief, killing two birds with one stone.

In comparison, Ouyang Yanqing was superior in handling this matter.

"Wow~"

In the Prince's Mansion, Ouyang Honghe heard that the Emperor highly praised Prince Yan's work for disaster relief, and he swept the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk in the study to the ground.

The ink splashed onto Hua Yueli and the maid's feet not far away.

"It's you, it's you, right?"

Ouyang Honghe glanced at the silent Hua Yueli, walked around the desk, and headed straight towards her, scaring the maid beside him so much that she grabbed her master and took a big step back.

"Honghe, what are you talking about?"

Hua Yueli took a big step back, but Ouyang Honghe still grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard.

"You still love Ouyang Yanqing, right? That's why you don't want to help me raise money and food. Li'er, you have such a cruel heart. Not only do you not help me, you also give me advice to harm me...hahahaha."

Ouyang Honghe's smile was creepy. Hua Yueli didn't know why things had developed to this point. She had clearly gone to Jiangnan with the same excuse as in her previous life, but the richest family, the Qin family, showed no mercy at all this time.

"I didn't. I was doing this for His Highness, but just..."

"Just what? Do you think I will still believe you?"

Ouyang Honghe opened the door, waved, and spoke to the guard at the door.

"Bring the flowers... The concubine returns to her courtyard and is confined to her house for three months."

Ouyang Honghe usually gave Hua Yueli enough face in the mansion. Everyone in the mansion treated her as a concubine. Apart from the two concubines in the palace, she was the eldest.

This time Ouyang Honghe was really hurt, so he humiliated her in front of the servants.

"Honghe, Honghe, believe me, I love you. Honghe..."

The guards dragged the man away, and the sound became farther and farther away, reaching the prince's ears, which sounded dull.

"Love me? If you love me, why would you use the assassins I gave you to save your life to kidnap the bride on the day of his wedding?"

Ouyang Honghe smiled bitterly and talked to himself. He was really afraid that he would want to kill her when he looked at her. If he hadn't seen her helping the third brother to successfully gain the support of the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan in his previous life, he would never be so heartbroken now.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked intently in the direction of Huayueli's courtyard.

Could it be that many things in the previous life were done by the third brother himself? Thinking of everything after his rebirth, he fell in love with Miss Hua Er in this life, so not only did Li Er have many bad things happen, but he also failed to persuade the richest Qin family to take the lead in donating money this time.

I have to say, if Yueying knew about this, she would definitely praise him, as it was somewhat close to the truth.

Hua Yueli sat on the bed, crying. She didn't know what had gone wrong. Why did she go to lobby the Qin family according to what she had said in her previous life, but got no response in the end?

As for framing the Qin family, it was a method she and the prince came up with together because they were really at a loss. Why did the prince now blame everything on her when something went wrong?

These things would not have happened when I was with Yan Qing in the previous life. The prince was also very good to me at that time. Why doesn't Yan Qing like me in this life? Now even the prince, who is the second best, treats me badly.

In Prince Yan's mansion, listening to the report from the secret guards, Ouyang Yanqing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he lowered his head to play with the jade pendant in his hand. What was the reason that the prince expected a woman to help him solve the people's livelihood and political affairs?

"My Lord, Zhuifeng is back."

Ouyang Yanqing glanced at the secret guard, who received the message and instantly disappeared from the rear window.

"Come in."

"Your Majesty, we have found that old man Li. He actually ran all the way to the border, but I caught him before he left."

"Those weapons were made by him, right?"

"Yes, I followed him to Muyue Pavilion according to what he said."

"Muyue Pavilion? What information do they want to exchange?"

"They want the formula for the potion that the princess can use to cure Commander Qin's wife."

"Okay, got it."

Muyue Pavilion is a news station in the underworld, a place where no one is in charge. Their main business is to exchange goods for goods and information for information. Who spread the news about Hua Yueqing's eyes? The imperial physician who examined her eyes at that time, he had quietly dealt with it in order to protect Yueying.

The ones left were Qin Shu and his wife, General Hua and his wife, himself and Yueying, and Hua Yueqing's two personal maids.

After thinking about it, there were only Hua Yueqing and her two maids. So what news did they exchange for this news?

"So you suspect that it was my eldest sister who went to exchange information?"

After dinner, Ouyang Yanqing played chess with Yueying in the yard, and told her what he had heard today.

"But my elder sister is much quieter than me and my younger sister. She seldom goes out. How could she know anything about Muyue Pavilion?"

"Do you remember that day? You told us that you bought the medicine for the wound from a Persian merchant. But you were afraid that your elder sister would not drink it, so you said it was a gift from a miracle doctor."

"So the one who provided this information to Muyue Pavilion can only be the eldest sister or Xiaodong or Xiaoxi."

"It's still not right. There's no way that my eldest sister knows about this place called Muyue Pavilion. Xiaodong and Xiaoxi don't know about it either."

"I need to ask Master about this. It's possible that my eldest sister told someone about it."

Ouyang Yanqing was actually a little jealous of Hua Yueqing. Ever since his rebirth, he had paid attention to the sisters of the Hua family. No matter what difficulties they had experienced, even if they had huge conflicts, Yueying still firmly believed in family affection and always stood by Hua Yueqing.

Maybe many people think that Yueying is marrying up into the royal family, but in his heart, he is the one who is marrying up to Yueying.

Qin Shu followed the prince south shortly after his marriage and has only been back for a few days, which gave Hua Yueqing time to recuperate. When Yueying came to visit her again, she no longer seemed to be in any discomfort.

"The eldest sister is in a good mood."

Yueying was still worried that even though her body had recovered, it might take some time for her to recover mentally, but she didn't expect to see the real person, so radiant.

"Ah."

Hua Yueqing seemed to have thought of something, and her cheeks were pink and tender. She was called a sister, but she was just a spoiled 17-year-old girl. Seeing her like that, Yueying couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"Sister, it's daytime... I miss my brother-in-law~"

"You bad girl, have you no shame?"

"You have no shame. What can't you tell me? By the way, did my third sister come to see you while I was recuperating?"

Yueying asked tentatively.

"Yes, I did. By the way, I accidentally told her that I took the medicine from the miracle doctor because my eyes were injured, but I also told her not to tell anyone."

When Hua Yueqing heard Hua Yueli mentioned, she remembered that she had been accidentally tricked. She had thought that since no one asked about it, she would just keep it a secret. But when she heard Yueying ask this, she became concerned about it and her expression changed.

"It's okay, elder sister. The medicine that Master gave me was obtained by a foreigner from somewhere. There was only a small amount, so we were afraid of causing trouble, so we didn't tell anyone about it. Let's just forget about it from now on."

As expected, Yueying guessed that Hua Yueli got the information from her sister.

Fortunately, Yueying had a plan to deal with it. She transplanted a few spiritual herbs out of curiosity and found that these things could grow in the ordinary world, but could not produce seeds and reproduce.

Anyway, she planned to act recklessly. No matter whether the emperor knew about it or some other force knew about it, she would say that she got it from a traveling Persian merchant.

Yueying was thinking about something, when she turned around she saw Qin Shu standing behind her holding a box of pastries.

"Xiaoying is here."

"Brother-in-law."

Qin Shu greeted her symbolically and no longer paid any attention to her. Instead, he turned to Hua Yueqing with a smile.

"Qing'er, this is the peach blossom cake I just queued up to buy for you. It's newly opened in Dongcheng. I heard it's delicious."

"Thank you, husband."

Hua Yueqing's bright eyes narrowed into slits with joy. She took a small bite and greeted Yueying.

"Ying'er, you can try it too."

Yueying watched the sweet interaction between the two. Although she was being forced to watch dog food, she suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Ying'er, have dinner tonight and then go back. I'll make some arrangements."

After saying that, Hua Yueqing stood up and left the pavilion, calling the housekeeper to arrange dinner.

After eating two pieces of pastry, Yueying was actually full. The dessert was sweet enough, not to mention that she was fed a lot of dog food by the young couple.

"Xiaoying, thank you."

Qin Shu suddenly spoke, his eyes sparkling with a clear brightness.

"What can I thank you for, brother-in-law?"

"I mean, even though I've only been with Qing'er for half a month, I feel what you said before, that a day without seeing you is like a long time."

Qin Shu looked at his wife who was not far away and lowered his voice. His words gently entered Yueying's ears.

"Haha, then I, the disciple, congratulate the master."

Yueying replied softly with a smile.

"What are you talking about?"

Hua Yueqing returned to the pavilion and saw Yueying looking at her with a smile. The look in her eyes made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Sister, my brother-in-law said he loves you so much that he misses you so much every day."

Hua Yueqing was stunned at first, and then her whole face turned red instantly.

"Hua Yueying!"

"Oh, no, my sister is going to beat someone up. I'd better go home first. Sister and brother-in-law, please come back for dinner later. I'm leaving now."

After teasing Hua Yueqing, Yueying was too lazy to be a light bulb for others, so she ran away without caring about her image as a princess.

Here, the guard brought a spiritual herb given by Yueying to Muyue Pavilion and explained that there was no so-called prescription, but Yun Pavilion was fortunate enough to get a few unknown herbs.

When Muyue Pavilion asked for all the grass in exchange for information, the guard coldly refused. After the guard left, a middle-aged man walked out of the inner room. It was the emperor's most trusted brother, the King of Chu.

"They have a really big appetite. Doesn't anyone know who the owner of this Muyue Pavilion is?"

After hearing the report, Ouyang Yanqing ran to Yueying to discuss it.

"I checked many times, but couldn't find any information."

In this situation in the TV series, there is a possibility that this information intelligence station might have been set up by the emperor himself.

"Do you have any doubts?"

"Have."

Ouyang Yanqing nodded.

"I have it too."

The corners of Yueying's originally serious face stretched up as if in slow motion, and she raised her eyebrows, looking a little smirking.

“Shall we write it down together?”

Yueying dipped the tea in the cup, covered it with one hand, and wrote on the table with the other.

"Father."

"emperor."

Two people wrote the same answer.

"In this case, we cannot keep this herb. Find a suitable time to present it to our father."

Ouyang Yanqing found an opportunity and presented the spiritual herbs grown by Yueying to the emperor as a novel gadget, and said that the potion had been tested on Hua Yueqing. Two or three months had passed, and no adverse reactions had been found.
