Cao Guansheng is handsome. Although he is a man, he has bright eyes and white teeth.

There were obvious bruises at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and he looked like he had been beaten badly.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my father's study?" As he said this, he put the stick against Luo Mian's neck.

Cao Mingzhe felt heartbroken.

"Put it down! This is Prince Ruyang!"

Cao Guan was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed and said, "Father, you might have been deceived by him. Why would Prince Ruyang come to a small place like ours?"

"I'm afraid it's that Magistrate Ma's doing again!"

"He has used both soft and hard tactics for so many years, father, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Luo Mian looked up at Cao Guan, who felt inexplicably nervous.

It seems that over the years, both father and son have been badly bullied by Magistrate Ma.

Luo Mian raised his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and his internal force surged in his body like a tide. Then his eyes flashed, and the power in his body quickly surged to his fingertips.

He placed his fingers lightly on the stick, and instantly, his internal force surged into the stick. The stick seemed to be under great pressure and made a faint "cracking" sound.

Then he suddenly pointed his finger downwards, and the wooden stick instantly broke into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.

Officer Cao stepped back suddenly. How could the inner strength of the person in front of him be so profound?

Cao Mingzhe hurried to Officer Cao.

"Are you hurt?"

"What are you doing barging in here?"

"Why did you put the stick on Prince Ruyang's neck?"

After saying that, he pulled Cao Guan to kneel down and apologize to Luo Mian.

"My son acted too recklessly, please don't blame me, Prince Ruyang!"

Luo Mian leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly.

"Being full of vigor and vitality is not necessarily a bad thing. Magistrate Cao, you should learn more from your son."

Cao Mingzhe knew that Luo Mian's words had hidden meaning, but his years of experience as an official told him that playing dumb was the best way to survive.

"Prince Ruyang, I am... stupid..."

Luo Mian stood up and walked towards the door.

The spring breeze blows towards us, mixed with the scent of revival of all things.

Sanchuan Town is a good place, and Cao Mingzhe is a useful person.

Luo Mian turned sideways and looked at Cao Mingzhe who was kneeling on the ground.

"I'll help you."

Cao Mingzhe suddenly looked up. At this moment, Luo Mian was like a ray of light in his dark life.

……

Eunuch Qian stood at the gate of Yukun Palace holding the note sent back by Luo Mian, not knowing whether to leave or go in.

From time to time, the sound of Concubine Chunhong sobbing could be heard in the room.

The servants guarding the door also lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

"You bitch! So many people saw you push Lady Chunhong, what else do you have to argue about!"

Under the emperor's pressure, Concubine Ling was so frightened that she dared not speak.

But...she really didn't promote Concubine Chunhong...

Who knows how she fell into the water?

Concubine Chunhong half leaned on the emperor, her eyes red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

As long as she stood here, the emperor wanted to pick the stars in the sky for her.

"Speak to you!" The emperor looked at Lingpin angrily.

The beautiful dream that Concubine Ling had been weaving for herself was finally shattered. A substitute is just a substitute. Over the years, how much true love did the emperor have for her?

"Your Majesty, I...I really didn't..."

Before Concubine Ling could finish her words, the emperor stood up and slapped her in the face.

"Still quibbling!"

Lingpin's face swelled up instantly.

So should she talk or not? She can't talk, but she can't not talk either?

At this time, the voice of Eunuch Qian came from the door.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Sanchuan Town." As Eunuch Qian spoke, sweat covered his forehead.

The emperor frowned, looked at Concubine Ling on the ground impatiently, and then spoke.

"From this moment on, your position as a concubine will be abolished and you will be demoted to a concubine. You will never be allowed to sleep with me again."

"If you dare to behave improperly again in the future, I will show no mercy! Remember, there is no place for you in the harem anymore. If you behave yourself, you may be able to save your life!"

Lingpin slumped to the ground.

How could this be?

Throughout the whole process, Chunhong Guiren didn't say a word except sobbing. Maybe this is the lethality of Bai Yueguang...

"Someone! Drag her down!"

When Eunuch Qian saw Ling Da Ying being dragged away, he couldn't help but sigh again that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

Before the appearance of Concubine Chunhong, Ling Da Ying was an unshakable presence in the harem. Although she was a Concubine, her food, clothing and other expenses were according to the standards of a "concubine".

But now...

"Eunuch Qian, present the news!"

Eunuch Qian quickly collected his thoughts, ran up to the emperor and presented the note to him.

The emperor laughed after reading just a few words.

"This Mian'er is becoming more and more like a king."

……

Two days later, the news that the emperor had rescinded his imperial decree to "abandon farmland and plant mulberry trees" spread throughout the streets and alleys of Sanchuan Town.

The whole street was immersed in a long-lost jubilant atmosphere. Joy mixed with the spring breeze blew away the depression of the past, leaving behind yearning for the future.

Some were happy and some were worried. The emperor's edict cut off Fang Daoyuan's source of income.

Magistrate Ma still stood in front of Daoist Yuan Fang as stiffly as a dog.

"It must be that Cao Mingzhe! It must be his memorial that was sent to His Majesty!"

"Tell me about you! Did you fail to intercept it?"

Fang Daoyuan was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. The imperial edict was issued by the emperor, so what could he do? Could he go to the emperor?

Magistrate Ma has followed Daoyuan Fang for so many years, and he knows Daoyuan Fang's character very well. He knows that if he doesn't find someone to take the blame at this time, he will be the one who suffers in the end.

"Master Fang, if you ask me, this matter is all Cao Mingzhe's fault. If he hadn't made self-indulgent reports every day, how could there be so many troubles?"

"Everyone in the court knows that Lord Fang's proposal to 'abandon farmland and plant mulberry trees' is truly for the benefit of the people!"

"That Cao Mingzhe is too self-righteous! He just can't stand the people loving you, sir!"

These words from Magistrate Ma hit the mark right on the heart of Daoyuan Fang.

"That's right. I have been an official for so many years, working diligently and conscientiously. My starting point is good, but those ignorant people just don't understand!"

"And that Cao Mingzhe, I must go and take care of him myself!"

Daoyuan Fang's eyes gradually dimmed.

He wanted to kill Cao Mingzhe.

When Cao Mingzhe learned that Daoyuan Fang and Magistrate Ma were coming to his house as "guests", his face turned green.

What should I do? I guess it’s too late to pack up and run away.

The moment the emperor's edict arrived in Sanchuan Town, he thought he was dreaming. He originally believed that even with the help of Prince Ruyang, the people would not be able to grow crops this year. But he did not expect that the imperial edict would come directly in just a few days!

But what he didn't expect was that although the people were saved from suffering, he had completely offended Fang Daoyuan and Ma Zhifu...

After much deliberation, Cao Mingzhe decided to give it his all and go to Prince Ruyang for help.
