The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Of course, the Fifth Prince knew that the Emperor would not execute Xiaoyanzi, but he was very afraid that the Emperor would drive Xiaoyanzi out of the palace, so that he would not be able to see Xiaoyanzi every day.

Besides, if Xiaoyanzi lost her status as a princess, how could the emperor and his mother allow him to marry her?

But Yongqi didn't dare to say this. Concubine Yu already hated Xiaoyanzi very much. If he said this rashly, it would only deepen Concubine Yu's prejudice against Xiaoyanzi.

Well, I can only take it one step at a time. Concubine Yu will fall in love with a girl as cute and lovable as Xiaoyanzi one day.

Thinking of this, Yongqi nodded strategically: "After all, I am under house arrest now, so I can only wait for the results of the investigation. It's getting late, mother, go to bed first."

Seeing Yongqi's attitude soften, Concubine Yu was very happy.

"Good boy, take a good rest and don't be impulsive again."

However, as soon as Concubine Yu left the room, her face immediately fell. She knew her son would not give up, so she specially left a group of people to keep an eye on Yongqi to prevent him from escaping in the middle of the night.

"Cailian, I leave this place to you. For Yongqi's future and life, you must not let him escape."

Cai Lian nodded. She would have done it even if Concubine Yu hadn't told her. After bowing, Cai Lian walked towards the kitchen.

The room was empty, Yongqi lay on the bed, his mind echoing over and over again with Jingyan's words, "Why not take her in and keep her in your golden house as a beautiful woman?"

Seeing such a beautiful woman in a golden house, Yongqi had to admit that he was a little tempted, but when he came to his senses, he immediately sat up and scolded himself.

"Yongqi! You're crazy! You're meant to be with a woman as unbridled and passionate as Xiaoyanzi for the rest of your life. Don't let that fool you!"

At this moment, Yongqi seemed to have two villains fighting in his heart. One said that Xiaoyanzi was so special that he must marry her as his legal wife and live with her for the rest of his life.

Another said that Jingyan was right, this was the simplest way. As long as the person you loved in your heart was Xiaoyanzi, she wouldn't care whether she was your legal wife or not.

One said that what you did was wrong, and Xiaoyanzi would definitely be sad and would never talk to you again.

Another said that you are a prince, and it is common for you to have three wives and four concubines.

The two villains were arguing endlessly in his mind, giving Yongqi a headache.

After a long time, Yongqi roared angrily, forced himself to stop thinking about Xiaoyanzi, and covered his head to force himself to sleep.

Cai Lian, who was guarding outside the house, heard Yongqi's mumbling clearly.

With a slight curl of her lips, she knocked on the door and walked in with a cup of tea.

Yongqi was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. When he saw Cailian come in, he simply sat up.

"Fifth Prince, I'm worried that you won't be able to rest well, so I made a cup of calming tea for you. Please drink it before going to sleep."

He really couldn't sleep now, and he expressed his gratitude for Cai Lian's thoughtfulness.

Thinking of the problem he was struggling with, he leaned forward and asked, "Cai Lian, if a woman loves a man, do you think she would care whether she is his legal wife or not?"

After hearing this, Cailian understood, smiled shyly, and looked at Yongqi lovingly.

"How could that be? If that woman loves that man, even if she becomes a slave, as long as she can see him every day and see that he is well, she will be extremely satisfied."

Yongqi felt burned by Cailian's gaze and felt a little guilty. He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and said, "It's getting late. I don't need to serve you here. You should go and rest."

Seeing Yongqi drink the cup of 'calming' tea, Cailian felt relieved. Then her eyes reddened, and she seemed to be struggling for a long time before she said carefully: "Empress Yu is very worried about you. She cries almost every day. So do I, your servant."

Yongqi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little guilty. He had been running around for Xiaoyanzi these days, and his mother and Cailian knew nothing about it. They watched him do stupid things and followed him, so they must have been very scared.

Thinking of this, he comforted softly: "Okay, I'm grounded now and can't do anything. You should be relieved."

Cailian burst into laughter and said, "As long as my brother is safe, I will be satisfied."

After saying this, without waiting for the Fifth Prince to react, Cai Lian hurriedly retreated as if she was shy.

Yongqi pondered Cailian's words, and suddenly remembered what Cailian had just said, "Even if I become a slave, as long as I can see him every day."

A wonderful feeling came over Yongqi, and his heart felt slightly warm.

I lay down and fell into a deep sleep peacefully, without any dreams all night.

Late at night, a small courtyard in Jiangnan was brightly lit with candles.

Fu Ling'an was writing a report at his desk about the great victory in the campaign against the White Lotus Sect.

Yongheng pushed the door open excitedly and said, "Ling'an, the capital is very lively. It's really a big loss for us to come out and suppress them this time."

Fu Lingan asked without even looking up, "What's all the fuss?"

Isn’t it just a Mongolian prince coming to Beijing? He couldn’t think of anything else exciting to see.

Yongheng sat down in a cocky manner, poured himself a cup of tea, and kept the secret: "You have to beg me really hard before I tell you."

Fu Lingan sneered and put down the pen, looking at Yongheng and threatening: "Don't let me go and get it by myself."

Yongheng's arrogance seemed to disappear in an instant, and he grumbled quietly: "Tsk, not funny at all. I really don't know why my sister is so blind."

Fu Lingan raised his eyebrows: "I can hear it."

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let me tell you the most shocking thing first. Erkang is useless."

Fu Ling'an raised his eyebrows, waiting for Yongheng's next words.

"It is said that Fulun used his official position to plead for mercy, and he was directly dismissed from his post. The emperor did not chop off Fuerkang's head, but gave him 180 lashes with the stick, and then directly amputated his limbs. The Fu family is finished now." Yongheng spoke using all four limbs, and even pointed at his thigh when talking about amputation.

Fu Ling'an had not expected such a bloody solution and was a little surprised. It seemed that the emperor had no intention of leaving Fu Erkang alive. One hundred and eighty lashes would either kill him or cripple him. There was no third possibility.

Moreover, the torturers were all skilled in martial arts. If they really beat the disabled as the emperor wished, he and Yongheng would probably not be able to withstand it.

But he should.

Yongheng continued to talk to himself, "It is said that Princess Huanzhu was unwilling to stay in peace and asked for her own death, so the emperor shut her up in the Imperial Clan Court. The emperor also dealt with Fu Erkang and sent Uncle Emin to Jinan to investigate Ziwei's background. I don't know what he will do after the results come out."

"What else can we do? Everyone goes back to their place."

Yongheng knew that Fu Ling'an had always understood the emperor's heart best. Hearing him say this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed: "The crime of deceiving the emperor is so serious, and you're just going to let it go so easily?"

Fu Lingan nodded: "The emperor is reluctant to do so."

After all, I have treated her like my own daughter and spoiled her for a long time.

"That's true. It's a pity we're not in the capital, otherwise I would have watched the execution myself and seen that damned Falcon get 180 lashes!"

Fu Lingan had no interest in Princess Huanzhu and Fu Erkang, so he asked, "How is the princess doing lately?"

Yongheng smirked, "She's doing fine. She's having fun with Seya every day. I have a letter from someone here, but I don't know if you deserve it."

It must be a letter written to him by the princess. Fu Ling'an stood up and wanted to get it.

Unexpectedly, Yongheng stuffed it into his arms and crossed his arms: "If you beg me or say something nice, I will give it to you."

Fu Lingan raised his eyebrows: "Please, brother-in-law."

Hearing the name "brother-in-law", Yongheng roared to the sky: "Fu Ling'an, don't be so disgusting!"

Fu Ling'an grabbed Yongheng with his backhand and took out the letter when he was not paying attention.

He threw the memorial on the table to Yongheng and said, "You write it."

After saying this, he sat down, carefully opened the princess's letter and began to read it.

The letter contained some simple daily words and a message asking him to be careful, but Fu Lingan felt that it was more touching than any love words.

He read it word by word three times before carefully folding it along the original traces. Even the words 'From Fu Ling'an' on the envelope looked particularly beautiful.

Yongheng looked at Fu Ling'an, who was smiling like a pervert, and laughed at him mercilessly, completely forgetting that he had just received Qing'er's letter, which he had read three or five times before putting away carefully before coming to see Fu Ling'an.

No one should say anything about anyone else.
