Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

"Chun Xi, you are my personal maid, there are some things I don't want to hide from you."

What Shen Ruoyan is about to do now is a serious matter that could result in a capital crime if he is not careful.

You have to be extremely careful with every move you make.

Because of her different status, she was destined to be cautious in every step. Only in this way could she protect herself and the people around her.

"The Marquis is disloyal and has ignored the Crown Prince. But it is only natural that the Crown Prince will inherit the Marquisate. No one can affect the Crown Prince's interests."

Chun Xi understood, even if the Madam didn't say it, she knew that if she relied on the Marquis, the final fate of the prince would be to be replaced.

Whether it was the Madam or the Prince, this shouldn't have been the ending.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for you, Madam and the Prince, without hesitation!"

Chunxi's eyes were firm, with a determination to die, but Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but chuckle:

"Why would you need to go through fire and water? Don't worry, your master is not that weak."

Man proposes, God disposes. Shen Ruoyan believes in fate, but he also doesn't believe in destiny.

If destiny is favorable, then believe it; if destiny is unfavorable, then doubt it - otherwise, why would she start over?

Chunxi looked at Shen Ruoyan's relaxed smile, and her originally tense mood unconsciously relaxed.

The lady used to love to laugh, but since she married into the Marquis’ Mansion, it was rare to see such a genuine smile on her face.

Later, the lady began to love laughing again, and her smile now was more confident than before.

People feel at ease when looking at it.

The master and servant talked in the house for the whole afternoon, but outside, everything was turned upside down!

"Songyang County has rebelled!"

"The rebels rebelled in Songyang County!"

"It's over. We are going to have another war..."

Li Qingzheng's case was finally uncovered and brought to light.

The remnants of the assassin gathered underworld forces in Songyang County, under the pretext of redressing Li Qingzheng's grievances and clearing the court of corrupt officials - they rebelled!

"The emperor is unkind and disregards the law. He indulges corrupt officials to do whatever they want, oppressing the people and making their lives miserable!"

"Now there are loyal and righteous people who have risen up in rebellion, vowing to make the corrupt officials pay with their lives, and to make the evil concubine pay with her blood, in order to appease the people's anger!"

The rebels wore red scarves on their heads and were called the Red Scarf Army.

All the people in Songyang County, regardless of gender, age or status, joined the Red Turban Army.

Now they were attacking Fanhe Prefecture, which was defenseless and had a hard time resisting. Urgent reports of eight hundred miles were constantly being sent to Shengjing for help.

"waste!"

"A bunch of trash!"

The emperor never dreamed that a small magistrate of Songyang County could cause such a big stir!

Isn’t it just a life?

Why did you rebel?!

He didn't understand what kind of drug Li Qingzheng had given to the people of Songyang County to make them work so hard.

The people are dead, what does the truth matter?

"Your Majesty, the case of Li Qingzheng has caused the people of Songyang County to attack him. If we don't investigate thoroughly, I'm afraid other places will also be dissatisfied and ready to take action!"

Prime Minister Qin finally understood that the initial trigger of this incident was the emperor.

The emperor did not even send anyone to conduct a thorough investigation into Li Qingzheng's case. After Lin Si was involved, the case was hastily closed.

This is how the current situation came about.

"He's just a small county magistrate. Isn't Prime Minister Qin a little too worried?"

Although Lin Si was involved, he had no intention of avoiding suspicion.

"In Li Qingzheng's case, there are witnesses and evidence. What is there to explain? It's just that some unruly people took the opportunity to cause trouble. What's the big deal?"

"I think you have stayed in Shengjing City for too long. You have never seen these unruly people before, so you are frightened by them. I think it would be better to send troops to encircle and suppress them. I guarantee that they will be frightened and dare not say a word!"

"Lord Lin is so powerful that you are sending troops to encircle and suppress us? Do you know that the people you are going to encircle and suppress are the people of Dasheng, the subjects of the emperor!"

Prime Minister Qin's righteous words made Lin Si dare not say another word.

Mainly because he was concerned about Prime Minister Qin's identity, he didn't want to break off relations with him, so he could only look to the emperor for help, hoping that the emperor could make the decision for him.

The Minister of War had never found Prime Minister Qin so pleasing to the eye. He saw the emperor's eyes sliding across everyone and finally landing on him.

His heart skipped a beat. He was about to express his opinion!

"Your Majesty, I think what Prime Minister Qin said makes a lot of sense."

He coughed lightly, pretending not to notice Lin Si's glare that was almost about to spit fire, and continued:

"These people have been bewitched, and their crime does not deserve death. If we send troops to encircle and suppress them, I'm afraid it will really hurt the hearts of the people of the world."

"Now that the battle with Meng Su has just ended, it is really not appropriate to cause any more trouble."

The more the emperor listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Seeing that the Minister of War was on the same side as Prime Minister Qin, he resisted the urge to get angry and spoke with almost gritted teeth:

"Then according to your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Minister Guo pretended to be troubled for a while, "This... let me think about it."

The people wanted to rebel because Li Qingzheng was wronged. If we want to appease the people's anger, we should thoroughly re-investigate the case of Li Qingzheng.

Moreover, they named the corrupt official and the evil concubine... They were referring to Concubine Lin and her brother - the methods have been pointed out to you, can't the emperor understand?

Minister Guo doesn't want to be the first to be blamed. The true story behind Li Qingzheng's case is still unknown.

What's more, Concubine Lin is involved. Who doesn't know that she is in great favor with the emperor in the palace?

Minister Guo's eyes turned and he suddenly said, "What does Prime Minister Qin think about this? Prime Minister Qin must have more experience than us in this regard."

After all, he is an old minister in the court and has experienced much more than they have heard or seen.

When Minister Guo said this, he didn't entirely intend to drag Prime Minister Qin into the water.

In his mind, Prime Minister Qin must have a way, but he didn't know what the old man was planning. Maybe he was just waiting for him to provoke him and give him a reason?

Qin Xiang's body seemed a little stiff, and it took him a long time to turn his head.

"I hope the emperor will take the people's wishes seriously. Justice is in the hearts of the people. I believe that as long as it is fair and just, the people will naturally understand."

"A bunch of unruly people, they still want to control me?" The emperor thought to himself, and was so angry that he almost broke the dragon throne!

But he could only pretend to be serious and nodded, "Prime Minister Qin is right. I will consider it."

"emperor!"

Lin Si was a little panicked. Was the emperor really going to reinvestigate the case of Li Qingzheng?

He...can't stand the scrutiny!

The emperor gave Lin Si a look, signaling him to stay calm.

"In that case, let's hand this matter over to the Dali Temple to investigate and thoroughly investigate Li Qingzheng's case and give the people an explanation!"

The rebellion of the unruly people will not be successful, but what the emperor is worried about is that someone will take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters!

He had worked so hard to secure the throne, and he would never allow anyone to destroy it!
