After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

"Your Highness, please go and beg His Majesty!" Lord Ying pleaded bitterly, "As long as you ask, His Majesty will definitely show leniency!"

"Let them off the hook?" Ouyang Jing sneered, "Do you really think that Father doesn't know about the Shang family's activities?"

"This..." The two officials were speechless.

"The reason why my father has not taken action against the Shang family is simply because he is afraid of their power." A cold glint flashed in Ouyang Jing's eyes. "Now, I have only done something for my father that he has always wanted to do but has not dared to do."

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" The two officials looked at each other, feeling a sense of unease rising in their hearts.

"Do you think that the Emperor really wants to see the Shang family dominate the government?" Ouyang Jing sneered. "The reason the Emperor has tolerated the Shang family until today is simply to use them to control the court."

"Do you think the Emperor really wants to see the Shang family dominate the court?" Ouyang Jing sneered, his gaze piercing the two officials who looked frightened. "The Emperor has tolerated the Shang family until now simply to use them to control the court."

Mr. Ying and other officials looked at each other, beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads.

They are not stupid people, but they are in the game and often cannot see the situation clearly.

Now, after Ouyang Jing's guidance, he suddenly understood.

"I'm not acting on my own," Ouyang Jing lowered his voice, his tone carrying unquestionable authority. "Your Majesty Father will not continue to trust the Shang family. If the Shang family continues to dominate, they will likely be coveted by Your Majesty Father. It's the perfect time to suppress them."

He paused, a confident smile forming on his lips. "Besides, I still have you guys. As long as you work hard, you might be able to replace the Shang family."

"So, Your Highness had already come up with a plan. So, this Shang family incident was the result of a discussion between the Crown Prince and the Shang family?" Lord Ying suddenly understood, a flattering smile plastered on his face. "Then we're relieved!"

Other officials also nodded quickly, vying with each other to express their admiration for Ouyang Jing.

"Your Highness is indeed clever. This way, His Majesty will relax his vigilance against you, and the Fourth Prince will also think that we have lost our backing and become restless."

A short, fat official smiled widely, as if he had already seen the day when Ouyang Jing ascended the throne. "In fact, Your Highness the Crown Prince is inviting the wolf into the house, and then catching the turtle in the jar. I really admire you!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so wise and powerful, and he has mastered the strategy. I can't wait for anything to happen!"

For a moment, flattery was heard everywhere, but Ouyang Jing just smiled faintly.

At this time, Shang Yong and Li, who were imprisoned, were far from being as relaxed as Ouyang Jing.

The prison was dark, damp, and filled with a musty smell.

Shang Yong sat upright on the straw mat with a frown on his face.

Li's face turned pale and she looked around in horror, clutching Shang Yong's sleeves tightly with both hands.

"Master, what should we do now?" Li's voice trembled, a hint of tears in her voice. "You are a first-rank official. It's too cruel for the emperor to imprison you so easily!"

Shang Yong opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in them, and he snorted coldly, "Don't worry, Madam. There are many of our people in the court. They will definitely plead with His Majesty on our behalf."

Hearing this, Li's panicked heart calmed down a little. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't ignore us either."

"Crown Prince?" Shang Yong stood up abruptly, his eyes burning with rage as he gritted his teeth and said, "Today's situation is caused by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you still want to rely on him? Don't even think about it!"

Li was stunned. She looked at Shang Yong in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Impossible! We came to the capital in the first place under the orders of our family to assist the Crown Prince and the Queen. How come they've changed their minds now?"

"Hmph! Today is different from the past. They act like this, I'm afraid they have had ill intentions towards me for a long time!" Shang Yong waved his sleeves fiercely, sweeping the teacup on the table to the ground with a crisp sound.

Li was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her face turned even paler. She tightly grasped Shang Yong's sleeve and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, then... then what should we do now?"

Shang Yong took a deep breath, a sinister light flashed in his eyes, "Madam, don't panic, it's not like there's only one prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Master, you mean... the other princes?" Li's eyes widened, then she shook her head. "But the Third and Fourth Princes both have their own people. If we want to join them now, I'm afraid we won't be accepted!"

Shang Yong sneered and said in a low voice, "Who said we were going to join them? There's also the Fifth Prince!"

"The Fifth Prince?" Li was stunned for a moment, then revealed a disdainful expression. "Master, are you talking about the Fifth Prince who was raised by a palace maid? How much could a prince with no background like him achieve?"

"Hmph, a woman's opinion!" Shang Yong snorted coldly, a gleam in his eyes. "The more unconnected a prince is, the easier it is to control him!"

……

At the same time, Xie Mishuang had returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Upon learning that Doctor Li had returned, she quickly ordered her servants to prepare a pleasant and quiet house, and then went to visit him in person.

"Doctor Li, you are finally back!" Xie Mishuang walked quickly into the yard. "Did you gain anything from this outing?" Xie Mishuang sat down opposite Doctor Li and asked with concern.

"We found a few rare herbs, but it's not a big gain." Doctor Li stroked his beard and said lightly.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he smiled and said, "However, I heard that a clinic owned by one of my disciples recently opened in the capital. How come I didn't know about this?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Mishuang quickly poured another cup of tea for Doctor Li and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, Doctor Li. I wanted to use your name to promote my clinic. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a single customer until now."

"Hahaha, you little girl!" Divine Doctor Li laughed heartily. "Well, since you're so willing, I'll reluctantly accept you as my disciple!"

Xie Mishuang was overjoyed upon hearing this. He quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to Divine Doctor Li, "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"

"Get up." Doctor Li smiled and helped Xie Mishuang up. "Since you have already accepted me as your master, I will give you a welcome gift."

"Master, please speak." Xie Mishuang looked at Doctor Li with anticipation.

"Since you have opened a clinic, how about I personally go to your clinic to see patients for a few days?" Doctor Li said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!" Xie Mishuang was overjoyed when he heard that.
