Quick Wear: I and the Way of Heaven are one

"It's just that I haven't been back for a few years, so he wants to use me to collect debts for his son." Lin Lezhi said with disgust, "It's no wonder that Marquis Huaian's son is so arrogant. It seems that he has the support of Marquis Huaian behind him."

"I dare not." Marquis Huaian almost lay on the ground, wishing a crack would appear in front of him to bury him.

"I dare not, but I think you are very brave." Lin Lezhi snorted, "Father, when I returned, I saw the son of the Marquis of Huai'an forcibly seizing a common woman in public. For the Marquis of Huai'an's sake, I was so angry that I gave him a beating. I didn't expect that not only would he not reflect on his actions, but he would even dare to come and sue me."

"You must stand up for your son and minister, and for the people of Qing. All under heaven belongs to the king, and they are all his subjects. The Huai'an family, relying on the emperor's grace, do not reflect on their own mistakes, nor do they speak for themselves, but bully his subjects like this. Do they really respect him?"

These words were a bit serious, and the Marquis of Huai'an collapsed completely. The eldest princess was going to kill his family, so now he could only ask the emperor to show mercy and let his family go.

Emperor Qing looked at the pleading Marquis Huaian with an unclear expression. "Marquis Huaian, don't worry. Although I pity Le Zhi, I am not a person who doesn't distinguish right from wrong. Long before the princess came, I had already sent Du Xiang to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."

It's over, it's completely over. Marquis Huai'an has given up struggling. He knows the situation in his family very well. Those things cannot withstand investigation. What's more, Du Xiang is a knife in the hand of the emperor, a sharp knife facing all civil and military officials.

As he watched the man wearing a fang mask and dressed in black approaching, there was an indelible smell of blood on him. He presented the results of his investigation to the Emperor of Daqing.

And beside him, he recited word for word, "The son of the Marquis of Huai'an, forcibly abducted a woman from the people, and allowed people to fight and cause casualties..."

One by one, the case was thoroughly investigated from top to bottom.

Lin Lezhi sat leisurely on the side, and with the expression of Huai'an Hou, he really had a good appetite.

I had originally planned to keep him for a few more days, but I didn't expect that he would be so anxious to come and die. I haven't seen such a person in a long time.

After Governor Xiang finished speaking, Emperor Qing did not give Huai'an Marquis a chance to quibble and directly sentenced him to death, exterminated his three clans, and confiscated his property.

The lawsuit brought by Marquis Huai'an destroyed his family. I wonder if he regretted giving birth to that rebellious son or becoming a pawn of others when he died.

After everyone in the hall had left, Lin Lezhi walked towards Emperor Qing with a smile and squeezed his shoulders, "Daddy, I missed you so much."

At this time, she did not call Emperor Qing "Father", but used a more intimate term "Daddy". Eunuch Wang, who was acting as a pillar beside her, was no longer surprised. To other princes and grandchildren, Emperor Qing was the superior father.

But for Princess Qing'an, Emperor Qing is always her father, an ordinary father.

Emperor Qing raised his head proudly, "Miss me, miss me, why didn't I come back earlier? I guess Le'er has been playing outside and has forgotten me as his father."

"Daddy." Lin Lezhi was not happy when Emperor Qing said this. "I send you letters every few days, and I send you anything delicious or fun I find. How dare you say this to me?"

Thinking about the thick boxes of envelopes he had collected, Emperor Qing's expression softened. "Even if there is a letter, it's been a long time since I last saw you."

"Ningguo will be visiting in a few days. You can come with me to the banquet then, so you won't be bothered by a bunch of clueless people."

"Ningguo?" Lin Lezhi pondered for a moment. "That country next door, we don't interfere with each other, so why are they here?"

Emperor Qing patted Lin Lezhi's hand. "They came here to arrange a marriage, but they didn't consider how a prince from another country could possibly be worthy of the eldest princess of our Great Qing Kingdom. They'd better be more sensible."

"Don't worry, Le'er. Daddy will never let you get married. You can stay in Qing Kingdom, stay by Daddy's side, and do whatever you want."

Lin Lezhi didn't care about this matter. Even if her father didn't say it, she knew that everyone could be her father's pawn, but her father would never use her as a bargaining chip.

Daddy would never force her to do anything she didn't want to do.

Although it is a bit unfair to other brothers and sisters, the emperor's heart is biased, and she is also a vested interest.

Upon learning that Marquis Huaian was deposed and Princess Qing'an sat in the first seat below the emperor, many people gritted their teeth behind their backs. But their father was truly a good father who only had eyes for his good daughter.

At this time, the status of each prince was not much different, and there was no crown prince, so they were ranked according to their seniority.

But who knew that Lin Lezhi came back at this time, and as soon as she came back, she heard that the order of the banquet had changed.

The Huai'an Marquis incident was originally a bait they put out to test the emperor's attitude, but they didn't expect that the bait would be directly destroyed and could not even get up.

Before Lin Lezhizhi returned, all the princes vied with each other to show off in front of Emperor Qing, hoping to make a big splash in front of the envoys from other countries.

However, they didn't expect that in the end, their fight would be in vain. Their father sat high on the throne, watching their struggle coldly.

Princess Qing'an, who was given the title of a country, really won the emperor's favor. Even if one of them became the crown prince in the future, he would still be inferior to this princess.

"Your Highness the Princess, the Seventh Prince has arrived." The person who stayed in the palace came forward to report.

"Xiao Qi is here." Lin Lezhi was a little surprised and ordered someone to bring him over immediately.

The man was wearing a blue Yunxiang suit, with some beads of sweat on his forehead and even his face was flushed.

Lin Lezhi quickly called the person over and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the sweat off his face. "Xiao Qi, you rushed over right after your martial arts class and you don't even pay attention to your appearance."

Lin Shuo is the seventh prince of the current Emperor Qing. He is now 12 years old. His biological mother was not favored, so Lin Shuo was not favored by others.

It's not that no one dares to bully the prince openly, but in the deep palace, the treatment of the favored and the unfavored is very different. A little bit of cuts here and a little bit of collection there, even a prince will not have an easy life.

What's more, Lin Shuo was still young at that time, and his mother was of low status. She could not see the emperor at all and had no way to deal with those people.

It was in such a situation that Lin Shuo grew up stumbling until he was five years old. Everyone called him the Seventh Prince because the year he was born, Emperor Qing was so busy with the war that he didn't even think about this prince, so he didn't give him a name.

If Lin Lezhi had not met him, he would not know whether he could go to school. When her mother, Concubine Xian, died, the Queen and her family disappeared quietly in Qing Kingdom. If she said that this did not matter, Lin Lezhi would not believe it.

After that, Emperor Qing made the virtuous imperial concubine the empress. From then on, the position of empress remained vacant, and the power of the harem was divided into four parts and managed by the four concubines with the highest status.

A poor little thing like the Seventh Prince naturally doesn't attract much attention.
