Chapter 169 Their family is no longer involved with Prince Lin’s Mansion

In May last year, the news of the rebellion in Prince Lin's Mansion reached the capital. All the shops and farms in Prince Lin's Mansion were closed down, and the servants in Prince Lin's Mansion were sold off.

The steward of Prince Qing's mansion took the initiative to sell one of Prince Qing's restaurants, and only then was he able to raise enough money to buy these people out.

After the Lu family was taken away, Ji'an School was almost on the verge of collapse. It was the two hundred taels from Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun, as well as the subsequent donations from the Lu family, that prevented Ji'an School from collapsing.

Xie Rongxing was the old servant of the Xie family. He was grateful to Han Qingyun and his wife for their support for Ji'an School, and also grateful to them for buying out the Lu family.

He told Lu Yuantong that if the Han and Lu families had any difficulties, they must tell him.

As for when Xie Rongxing gained this power and how much power it had, Lu Yuantong did not say, and Lu Yanyan and others certainly did not ask.

The less they know about these things, the better.

"Four years ago in July, Prince Lin...did he leave Jiyang?"

Lu Fugui didn't want to bring up this topic, but he still wanted to know whether the young man who saved him that year was Li Jiren, the prince of Prince Lin.

"Four years ago?" Lu Xing and Lu Yuantong were both trying hard to recall. So many things happened four years ago.

"Four years ago, at the beginning of summer, the princess's old illness relapsed, so the prince returned to the capital and asked Divine Doctor Ye to treat the princess.

Soon, the Qiang tribe invaded our border again. The prince took his second son and fought all the way to the Qiang royal court.

The Second Young Master was less than twelve years old at the time, not yet ruthless enough, and was deceived by the enemy's self-torture trick. In order to save the Second Young Master, the Prince was seriously injured by the enemy. The Qiang royal court was slaughtered by the Second Young Master, but the Prince also..."

When Lu Xing spoke of this, he burst into tears. Their prince had been unfortunate ever since he was injured.

The prince spent several months recovering from his injuries, but before he could fully recover, the late emperor passed away.

When the prince dragged his sick body back to the capital to mourn, the once tall, handsome and unparalleled prince became sickly and haggard.

During the mourning period, if the Crown Prince and Prince Qing had not repeatedly pleaded for the prince to eat something, the prince might have starved to death in the mourning hall.

After the mourning period, the prince was so thin that he was just a skeleton.

But after reading the late emperor's will, he did not stay for even a day and went straight back to Jiyang.

In the cold winter, he dragged his sick body on the road for days.

It is said that after the prince returned to Jiyang, he fell seriously ill again.

Not long after the Spring Festival that year, Concubine Qi passed away again.

The prince was extremely filial, and within a few months, both his parents passed away.

Lu Xing couldn't imagine how his prince spent that time.

Afterwards, Jiyang was hit by various natural disasters, the people had no harvest, the court failed to provide disaster relief, and the prince had to deal with harassment from the Beirong and Yan State.

Later, Lu Xing heard that the prince had killed 100,000 people in Wuping County. Many people were cursing the prince, but he would never believe that the prince would do such a thing...

Lu Xing couldn't stop crying, which made Lu Youtian feel very sad.

Many people in his teahouse mentioned King Lin, and they all started by talking about how brilliant this man was, how great his talent was, and how much he loved his people like his own children. But when they mentioned the tragedy in Wuping County, all the praises finally turned into a pity.

Lu Fugui and others also understood.

That year, Prince Lin's son Li Jiren returned to Beijing to look for the miracle doctor Ye Jianan to treat Princess Lin, but Ye Jianan was not in the capital. In July, the news of Prince Lin's serious injury reached the capital, so Li Jiren took his men back to Jiyang.

Lu Xing didn't know what happened to Li Jiren on his way back, but they could guess.

Li Jiren rescued Lü Fugui, who was being robbed and killed by bandits from Pulu Mountain. However, due to Prince Lin's injury, he did not continue to pursue the fleeing bandits...

After knowing this, Lu Yanyan, Han Qingyun and the Lu family felt even more complicated.

When they escaped from Wuping County, they had a blood feud with Prince Lin, but they couldn't help but take care of the Ji'an School established by Prince Lin. As a result, they were protected by the secret forces of Prince Lin's Mansion, which allowed them to live smoothly.

Li Jiren is also Lu Fugui's savior.

How could they still hate King Lin?

But as people from Wuping County, how could they forget the blood feud of Wuping County?

Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun still had one thing lingering in their minds, but they didn't want to know the answer at all now, even though they had already guessed it.

Han Huaixi fell from a big tree at Ye Jianan's house and was rescued by a handsome young man with a Saker Falcon. This young man was most likely Li Jixin.

Their family is inextricably linked to Prince Lin's Mansion...

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Zhaowen overturned all the memorials, teacups, and fruit plates on the imperial desk, and the porcelain was shattered all over the floor.

A young eunuch was afraid that Emperor Zhaowen would hurt himself, so he knelt down tremblingly and tried to pick up the porcelain fragments.

Emperor Zhaowen was furious and kicked the young eunuch down. The eunuch's hands and thighs were scratched by porcelain and were bleeding.

Emperor Zhaowen was still not satisfied and kicked the young eunuch a few more times. The eunuch didn't even dare to cry out in pain.

All the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Even Feng Jia, the eunuch who had always been trusted by Emperor Zhaowen, buried his head deeply in the ground, fearing that he would be seen by Emperor Zhaowen.

Emperor Zhaowen was still not satisfied, so he pulled out a horsewhip from under the imperial desk and whipped the palace maids and eunuchs...

Li Ruijing looked at Emperor Zhaowen in disbelief, the child he always thought was kind-hearted.

He knew that Li Jixin's request was excessive, and it would not be excessive for Emperor Zhaowen to kill Li Jixin now, but what did this matter have to do with these eunuchs and palace maids?

He turned to look at Prime Minister Mu, the six ministers and the cabinet ministers. Except for the Minister of Revenue Ruan Bai, the others all looked reluctant.

However, no one stepped forward to dissuade him, and they just watched Emperor Zhaowen go crazy quietly, just like he often did.

One of the palace maids couldn't help but hiss once, and Emperor Zhaowen's horse whip was directed at her.

Li Ruijing hurried forward to stop him.

"Your Majesty, let's first let the adults discuss what to do."

Emperor Zhaowen was so angry that his eyes turned red. He raised the whip and was about to hit Li Ruijing. After seeing that it was Li Ruijing, he turned the whip towards Feng Jia.

Feng Jia's clothes were torn from being beaten, and her back was covered in blood, but she gritted her teeth and dared not say a word.

Prime Minister Mu also stepped forward to dissuade him, saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Li is right. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible."

Emperor Zhaowen whipped his men a few times and was finally able to suppress his anger.

The Minister of Rites Yang Ziliang quickly signaled to the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to clean up the hall and let the eunuchs and palace maids leave.

Emperor Zhaowen sat at the imperial desk and said, "That little bastard Li Jixin, I didn't kill him right away. That was out of mercy. How dare he make demands of me? My dear ministers, what are your thoughts? Please share them."

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Mu. As he was the head of all officials, it was natural for him to speak first.

Prime Minister Mu bowed and said to Emperor Zhaowen, "Your Majesty, Second Lord... Li Jixin's request cannot be granted. The Empress Dowager is of such high status, how could she possibly leave the palace? The divine doctor Ye Jianan is also very prestigious among the people. If Li Jixin were to take him away, how would the people view Your Majesty?"

Emperor Zhaowen slammed the table in anger, but because he hit it too hard, his hand was hurt. He quickly raised his hand with a painful expression.

"I knew that little bastard had bad intentions. He just wanted the people of the whole country to laugh at me."

Minister of Revenue Ruan Bai said, "Your Majesty, Li Jixin is nothing more than the son of a rebel king and a traitor. Just kill him."

"I certainly want to kill him, but if I do, Prince Lin will definitely go crazy again. What if he really attacks me?"

Ruan Bai lowered his head to hide the contempt in his eyes. He didn't understand why his extremely intelligent daughter would choose such a fool and a wimp, who had no advantages at all except that he was easy to control.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Prince Lin will not live long. Once he dies, the Jiyang army will be in ruins!"
