Chapter 185 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (64)

After the banquet was over, the prime minister returned to his palace with the emperor's reward. Along the way, he wanted to beat drums and gongs to completely dispel the rumors of discord between the emperor and his subjects.

The people looked at the glittering gold with envy, but they knew that the prime minister was a good official and that these were rewards from the emperor, not acquired through greed.

It is said that the Prime Minister punished nearly 50% of corrupt officials in Jiangnan. Fortunately, the Emperor allowed him to lead enough soldiers, otherwise, he would have been killed there.

"The Prime Minister is a good man. All the disaster victims in Jiangnan have been properly taken care of. Apart from the sick, almost no one died."

"How do you know so clearly?"

"My son was a soldier who followed the Prime Minister to provide disaster relief. He saw it with his own eyes, so of course he knows!"

"That can't be faked, it's really amazing."

"So now the court is actively selecting officials. Hurry up and let your son work hard. Maybe he can become a high-ranking official!"

"The emperor is a wise ruler, the prime minister is a good official, and we the people can live a good life now!"

"That's right. Throughout the dynasties, how many have cared about the lives of us ordinary people? How many have been greedy for the relief money from the imperial court?"

"Long live my emperor!"

The people cheered and this commotion actually changed Xiao Jin's reputation among the people. From then on, Xiao Jin's good reputation was established and will be remembered forever.

The prime minister listened to the people's endless discussions, most of which were positive, and nodded with satisfaction. Well, the trip was worthwhile.

He certainly had his own purpose in doing this.

Firstly, he was thinking about the country and the people. The emperor already had his own children, and the eldest princess's faction would inevitably do something desperate. Spreading Xiao Jin's good reputation would help stabilize the country.

Secondly, he wanted to dispel the rumors of discord between the emperor and his subjects, and at the same time to show goodwill to Xiao Jin. He didn't want Xiao Jin to really kill his son, so he wanted to at least spare his life.

Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them. In fact, the prime minister was also afraid that Song Lingxi might have an heir, who was his own son. If the emperor was furious, he would definitely want to kill Xie Changling.

Now that he has done everything he can, the rest is up to fate.

……

Prime Minister's House.

The prime minister's wife and her family came to the door to welcome the prime minister back home.

Jiang Yudie looked much more haggard than when she first got married, because she was always trying to find evidence of her guilt, but was repeatedly discovered by Xie Changling.

Xie Changling asked Wang Wu to write a letter of accusation every day and had it delivered to her room. She was so scared that she trembled with fear and dreamed of her younger sister chasing her every day.

Jiang Yudie had thought about asking for peace, but Xie Changling didn't believe her at all. How cruel must be the person who dared to kill his younger sister when he was a child? Xie Changling would have to be crazy to believe her.

The Prime Minister's wife once blamed Xie Changling for this. As a woman in seclusion, she also felt sorry for Jiang Yudie who suffered the same fate.

But when Xie Changling put the evidence in front of her, the Prime Minister's wife no longer dared to show mercy. It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. She looked so weak and fragile, but she could be so cruel.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a turbulent time and the Prime Minister's Mansion was a thorn in the emperor's side, she should have sent the man to the yamen. Fortunately, Ling'er was alert.

The Prime Minister's wife was therefore more wary of Jiang, which resulted in Jiang being unable to get close to the mother and son. Jiang Yudie herself was suspicious and thought too much, so she naturally lost weight.

But she is not the protagonist today. When the Prime Minister's wife saw the familiar figure outside the door, her heart, which had been hanging high, finally settled down.

……

The eldest princess's mansion.

The commotion on the street was so loud and lively that the Princess's Mansion naturally received the news.

They came back from the banquet and sat in the carriage, listening to the people praising the emperor and the prime minister all the way, and their teeth were about to break.

"boom!"

The eldest princess slammed her hand on the table. She didn't expect that the prime minister, this old fox, was so stubborn.

The emperor had clearly stolen his daughter-in-law and almost forced his son to death, but this old guy was so tolerant that he even went around promoting a good reputation for Xiao Jin among the people.

She also planned that when the eldest princess's faction became powerful and the emperor began to show signs of decline, she would go among the people to destroy his reputation and prepare for usurping the throne.

She had always kept this drama hidden deep in her heart and never dared to reveal it in front of Xiao Heng.

After all, she also knew that her son was a little stupid. If she told him, the news would inevitably leak out. Once there were signs of rebellion, the princess's mansion would be on the verge of destruction.

The eldest princess became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. Her original plan was to ruin their reputation first.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!

If Xiao Jin loses the support of the people, then they will naturally follow Xiao Heng's forces, and he will be able to quickly gain a large number of followers, and rebellion will turn into punishing evil.

She had already calculated that Song Lingxi, a married woman, could not stand the loneliness and seduced the emperor, which was just the right way to gain a reputation as a seductive concubine.

The opposite of her is of course Xiao Jin, who disregarded ethics, snatched the minister's wife, and promoted the witch concubine to the witch queen despite the Queen Mother's dissuasion. Isn't this even more foolish and incompetent?

Unfortunately, her plan was completely ruined by the Prime Minister. This old man is really despicable!

The eldest princess's face was terribly dark. This was the first time Xiao Heng saw her with such an ugly face.

Xiao Heng and Song Lingyu looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. After all, although the prime minister and the eldest princess were in opposition, it had not reached the point of life and death.

So they couldn't figure out why the princess was angry. Didn't the hand hurt from the slap?

Finally, it was Xiao Heng who spoke to comfort her. Although he was not very smart, he knew that the eldest princess was planning for him wholeheartedly, and perhaps their plan had been thwarted again.

"Mother, I don't know why you are angry, but it would be worthless if you get sick from anger."

"Don't worry about it. Let me think about it here. You can go now."

The eldest princess rarely paid attention to her son. She had a headache and didn't want to see Xiao Jin or anyone else.

"Yes, then the son withdrew."

"My daughter-in-law has also retired."

Song Lingyu followed Xiao Heng all the way out of the main courtyard. She was petite and Xiao Heng did not wait for her, so she was soon left behind by the man.

Song Lingyu hurriedly called him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please wait for me."

Xiao Jin stopped and looked back. It turned out to be Song Lingyu. He suddenly felt a little disappointed.

What is lost?

Of course, I think of the bright and charming beauty in the palace. She has a skin as white as ice and bones, and a beauty as beautiful as heaven. She is so stunning that it is really coveted.

"Your Highness, thank you for waiting for me."

Song Lingyu was filled with joy. She thought Xiao Heng was looking at her with fixed eyes, because he was attracted by her outfit.

Song Lingyu's voice brought Xiao Heng back to his senses. He looked at the person in front of him and could no longer muster any interest.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Song Lingyu was stunned and chased after him, shouting, but unfortunately the man blatantly ignored her.

She stirred the handkerchief, her eyes full of reluctance, but it was of no use. From then on, Song Lingyu completely fell out of favor.
