Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"My Lord, if Your Highness lets this matter go lightly due to the Emperor's authority, then where is the authority of Your Highness and Your Highness?

To put it bluntly, the people below will only think that the emperor is the emperor after all, and will not take the princes and dukes seriously. "

Xie Wenyuan lowered his voice again and continued to speak in a seductive and inflammatory manner, constantly provoking Prince Rui's fragile nerves.

"Then what do you think we should do about this?" Prince Rui asked gritting his teeth.

"Prince, Your Highness has always wanted to supervise the Ministry of Personnel or preside over the imperial examinations, but the Emperor is afraid that Your Highness will get too close to the officials, so he has not given up the power."

Xie Wenyuan said,

“You can tell the prince that you have suffered such a great injustice and you don’t need to retaliate. As long as the prince can take this opportunity to obtain the power to supervise the Ministry of Personnel or preside over the imperial examinations, that will be fine.

Seeing that you are so sensible and tolerant, and that you sacrifice yourself for the greater good, the prince will only love you more and will not let it go, nor will he really let the prince suffer this injustice.

It's easy for you to control a princess. Just force her to get married quickly and make her leave the palace.

As long as she leaves the palace and is out of the emperor's sight, Princess An Ning will be like a bird with broken wings, locked in a cage, and you can do whatever you want to her."

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui couldn't help but smile sinisterly. He raised his hand and patted Xie Wenyuan on the shoulder, praising him with a smile.

"Good, very good, Mr. Xie is extremely talented. No wonder my father always praises you whenever he mentions you."

"Not worthy, not worthy." Xie Wenyuan waved his hand, looking modest, and continued,

"Prince, do you know what Princess An Ning is going to do in this situation? I'm most worried about how she will respond?"

"How else can she deal with this?" Prince Rui said disdainfully.

"She must want the emperor to protect her. Just as you said just now, we should take this opportunity to control the emperor and share power."

"No, no, no..." Xie Wenyuan stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said seriously,

“If Princess An Ning is ruthless, she will stand up and say that you can whip her with a whip, and she will be disfigured.

If we keep exchanging whips for each other and the hatred is offset, we will no longer have any bargaining chips to use to control the emperor!

Because if you still dare to bite Princess An Ning, then the emperor can punish you with confidence instead of being controlled by you. "

Prince Rui was shocked by these words, and after thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed possible.

But can An Ning, that crazy bitch, do this? !

Prince Rui didn't quite believe it. If he was whipped, his face would be ruined. As a grown man, he was filled with anger at the thought of his face being ruined, let alone Princess An Ning.

"I can think of this, and there will be others who will think of this and advise the emperor.

In order to avoid being led by the prince and the county king, the emperor would force Princess An Ning to do this even if she is not happy about it. "

Xie Wenyuan spoke again.

Prince Rui was unable to refute, so he became anxious and urged Xie Wenyuan to

"Hey, Mr. Xie, do you have a good idea? Tell us now, don't keep us in suspense."

“Just now, the prince asked why Princess An Ning screamed and got into the carriage to escape. It was because I tried to test her attitude by scaring her. Princess An Ning has been favored since she was young, so it is impossible for her to agree to be disfigured by a whip.

At this time, I will act as a savior and give the princess an idea, so that Princess An Ning can persuade the emperor to share power with the prince and protect Princess An Ning."

"You go to give advice to the princess? Why you? What good ideas do you have?" Prince Rui asked in confusion and doubt.

“Because of my eldest cousin, the princess has a good impression of me. I can easily impress her and make her believe what I say.

As long as I succeed in saving the princess this time, she will trust me even more, and I will be able to enter the emperor's field of vision. Don't the prince and the county prince want to place a confidant next to the emperor? I can do it!"

When Prince Rui heard this, he hesitated.

This confidant must be someone they can completely control.

However, he felt that Xie Wenyuan was a bit evil. He definitely had talent, but his loyalty was questionable.

"Don't you believe me, Prince? I will prove my loyalty to the prince and the prince." Xie Wenyuan said as if he was eager to prove himself.

Prince Rui's eyes turned, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile,

"If you want to prove your loyalty, that's easy. On New Year's Eve, as long as you send Divine Doctor Qin to my bed, I will believe in your loyalty."

Xie Wenyuan smiled brightly, "Okay. Prince, please wait."

I spent so much time and effort to make you live longer, but you, a pervert, insisted that I chop off your head and give it to my cousin.

I can't refuse it.

Ugh.

Then I will change the plan to respect you and let your New Year’s Eve dinner become your last meal. What else can I do?

Naturally, the more lively and fun the New Year's Eve in Chu State is, the more fun it is.

-

In just half a day, the news that Princess An Ning whipped Prince Rui and disfigured the left side of his face spread throughout the capital of Chu.

In the palace, when the emperor learned about this, he immediately became angry and called Princess An Ning to scold her.

Princess An Ning cried, acted like a spoiled child, and begged her father to save her and not hand her over to the King of Wei.

The emperor also felt sorry for her and was upset by her crying, so he temporarily agreed and said that he would comfort Prince Wei and Prince Rui, but she would still have to be punished.

"As long as my daughter is not disfigured by a whip, she can endure any punishment," Princess An Ning said immediately.

When the emperor heard An Ning's words, he became thoughtful and waved his hand to let her leave.

What developed next was just as Xie Wenyuan said. The King of Wei was furious because his son was injured. After listening to his son's advice, he immediately entered the palace to force the emperor.

Either hand over Princess An Ning or hand over the power to supervise the Ministry of Personnel.

The emperor was also furious after being threatened in this way, but the Prince of Wei had military power and the Prince of Rui was indeed injured in the face, so this matter could not be easily covered up.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We need to offer sacrifices to our ancestors. Don't let them see us brothers at odds. I will give you an explanation after New Year's Eve."

The emperor spoke with a sullen face.

The King of Wei naturally agreed, stopped pressing him, and left.

After the King of Wei left, the Emperor summoned some of his trusted ministers to discuss the matter and asked them how to deal with it.

After some argument, the conclusion was that Princess An Ning's face could be sacrificed and the power to supervise the Ministry of Personnel could be handed over.

Princess An Ning had a very bad reputation and no one liked her. Her trusted ministers hated her for always getting into trouble and seeking death, and thought she deserved to be disfigured.

The emperor was silent for a long time and decided to sacrifice Princess An Ning.

Although her face was disfigured, she was still a noble princess. When she got married, she would live in the princess's mansion. With her personality, she would never be wronged no matter who her husband was.

The emperor immediately sent someone to inform Princess An Ning of his decision and asked her to be mentally prepared.

Princess An Ning naturally collapsed. She couldn't accept it and cried and smashed everything in her palace to pieces.

At this time, news came from outside that Doctor Qin had arrived.

"Tell him to wait. Hurry up and dress me up. I, I can't let Doctor Qin see me looking so ugly."

Princess An Ning wiped the tears from her face and gave instructions to the trembling palace maids and eunuchs:

"What are you all standing there for? Clean up the things on the floor!"

The palace maids and eunuchs quickly cleaned up the place with skillful hands and feet, and soon it was clean.

Princess An Ning has also finished her makeup. Except for her red eyes, everything else is fine.

Feng Yuxi was politely brought in by the palace maid. When Princess An Ning saw him, she couldn't help but want to cry again.

"Oh, oh, oh, in order to appease the wrath of the King of Wei, my father wants to sacrifice me. Your little cousin really came true... Doctor Qin, what do you think we should do? How about you take me and elope..."

Feng Yuxi turned around and left. She really didn't want to have anything to do with this crazy woman.

"Hey! Don't go! I, I was just joking. Of course I know that eloping is not that easy." Princess An Ning wiped her tears and asked Feng Yuxi,

"Your little cousin seems to be quite smart. Does he have any ideas?"

What Xie Wenyuan had said to Princess An Ning before came into play at this moment.

Because Xie Wenyuan predicted the emperor's actions as soon as the accident happened, Princess An Ning believed in his intelligence and developed trust in him.

"This is the idea he gave you." Feng Yuxi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Princess An Ning.

He is here today just to deliver the message.

However, after knowing Xie Wenyuan's crazy plan, Feng Yuxi was still very happy to be the messenger.

Really, I'm tired, let's destroy these scum quickly!

After Princess An Ning read the letter, her eyes lit up with excitement and she couldn't help but jump.

This is the first time I feel that this little cousin is more attractive than Doctor Qin!

She seems to like him a little!

"This...can he really do what he said?" Princess An Ning asked excitedly, covering her pounding chest.

"As long as the princess cooperates on New Year's Eve." Feng Yuxi said coldly.

"I will cooperate with you." Princess An Ning nodded immediately and asked with bright eyes, "Can I really trust him?"

"Of course." Feng Yuxi said, "When he gets crazy, he's crazier than you, but he's also smarter than you."

Princess An Ning didn't care about being ridiculed. Instead, she wanted to know more about Xie Wenyuan.

How crazy can he be? He feels so normal.

"Well, I'll wait for your good news tomorrow night."

Feng Yuxi nodded, said goodbye and left.

This time, Princess An Ning simply waved her hand and let him go.

In the past, she would stop him with various reasons and not let him leave.

Feng Yuxi felt that it was unbelievable how relaxed it was this time, but he was also very happy and hoped that Princess An Ning would continue to maintain this state.

Little did they know that Princess An Ning had already begun to shift her target.
