Chapter 227 Dad, isn’t this a nonsense chapter?
The Third Prince’s Mansion, the Third Prince Yi Jingpin’s study.
Originally, the third prince Yi Jingpin had already gone to bed. After all, it was the middle of the night and it was usually time for him to rest.
But Xiu Lingce's arrival made Yi Jingpin hurriedly get up again.
After hearing Xiu Lingce's words, he was so shocked that he lost all desire to sleep.
After issuing several orders in succession, he finally had time to chat with Xiu Lingce:
"Ling Ce, you and your sister are truly my lucky stars.
Look at the major things your sister has done in recent times, every one of them has helped me a lot.
I dare not even imagine what the situation in the capital would be like now if your sister had not gotten involved.
This prince will definitely be forced by Yi Jingshi to be in a state of panic and lose sight of the big picture."
This girl Xiu Luoran destroyed Yi Jingshi's men and weakened Yi Jingshi's power.
This girl emptied out Yi Jingshi's silver vault, and most of the money in the vault went into Yi Jingpin's warehouse.
This girl went to Southern Province twice and not only rescued Yi Jingxiao and his sister, she also killed Yi Jingshi's men and helped Yi Jingpin.
This girl cured the illness of Prince Ping and his daughter. Although Prince Ping has not returned yet, he knows that his uncle's illness must have been cured.
Prince Ping is also his helper.
The most important thing is the matter between Zhu Lisheng and Qiu Chiyi.
Yi Jingpin is still very scared now. If Xiu Luoran had not uncovered these two things, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhu Lisheng is Yi Jingshi's man, and everyone knows this.
What Yi Jingpin didn't expect was that Gui Zhicun was one of the people whose portrait Xiu Luoran painted.
You know, Gui Zhicun is Yi Jingpin's confidant, confidant!
Gui Zhicun and Zhu Lisheng colluded with each other, and it was obvious that they had defected to Yi Jingshi.
Gui Zhicun talked with Governor Zhu Li late at night, so it must be something important.
Yi Jingpin is now extremely grateful that his plan has not yet been fully implemented and Gui Zhicun does not know much.
If Gui Zhicun knew his entire plan, he would be dead soon.
Gui Zhicun knows too many confidential matters, so this person cannot be kept.
He had just sent an expert, and Gui Zhicun would definitely not survive the night.
Let's talk about Zhu Lisheng. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, he has real power. He is in charge of most of the grain and fodder in the Ministry of Revenue.
If a conflict suddenly breaks out and weapons are used, or if there is a war on the border, and subsequent supplies cannot be delivered, the soldiers and horses will starve to death.
If Zhu Lisheng is useless, will Yi Jingshi care about him?
After hearing what Yi Jingpin said, Xiu Lingce smiled:
"Your Majesty, my sister is helping you for a purpose."
Yi Jingpin also smiled: "Tell me, what is her purpose? I will ensure that she will not be disappointed if I can do it."
Xiu Lingce nodded: "Prince, do you still remember the paper you wrote to my sister?"
Of course Yi Jingpin remembered the piece of paper with the words "Seeing this is like seeing me" written on it. He saw with his own eyes how Xiu Luoran carefully put it away.
Xiu Lingce continued, “That girl likes freedom and doesn’t want to be constrained.
She hopes that one day, you will be in power and turn that piece of paper into yellow, so that she can walk sideways in Tianhe."
"Hahaha, walking sideways?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I promise her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
……
The Queen’s maiden family is the Qiu family.
The Queen's father, Lord Qiu, said to his eldest grandson Qiu Chiyi, who was kneeling on the ground:
"Get up."
"Kneel down! You are almost thirty years old, and yet you are doing such inappropriate things.
Your grandfather is so old, and he still has to worry about you, you bastard!"
The Queen's elder brother Qiu Zhilin, Qiu Chiyi's father, roared at Qiu Chiyi:
"Your wife has already given birth to two daughters. It's only a matter of time before she gives birth to a son. It's not like she can't have one, but you're keeping a mistress outside.
Don't tell me that's true love, I don't believe it."
Old Marquis Qiu wanted to encourage his eldest grandson to take up the post, but then he thought that it would be inappropriate for him to interfere too much in his son's discipline of his grandson.
Besides, it was no big deal to just kneel for a while, so he just sat aside and watched.
Qiu Chiyi was scolded by his father. He knelt there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qiu Zhilin pointed at his son's nose and scolded:
"It is very common in some big families to keep a concubine.
But what qualifications do you have to raise one? Huh? "
Qiu Chiyi didn't dare to talk back and listened obediently.
“This kind of thing can be big or small, and no one will know about it unless someone publicizes it.
But I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You haven't even noticed that you've been targeted for months.
You said that if this matter of yours was exposed, people would join forces with the censor to impeach you, saying that you are morally corrupt and have no regard for ethics.
It doesn’t matter whether you become an official or not. But tell me, how much trouble will it bring to your aunt and cousin?
They are already having a hard time, and you are holding them back, you idiot!"
Qiu Zhilin became angrier as he spoke, and kicked his son.
He wanted to kick again, but was pulled away by Old Marquis Qiu.
The old marquis also pulled his grandson up:
"Yier, you are not a child anymore. You should think twice before doing anything in the future."
"I know, Grandpa."
Qiu Zhilin shouted, "Go back and comfort your wife. If you can't handle the matter between the mother and daughter well, I will break your legs."
"Yes."
Qiu Chiyi hurried out.
Qiu Zhilin helped the old marquis to sit down on the chair:
"Dad, tell me, what is the Second Prince going to do?
Even if Yi'er's affair is exposed, at most she will be criticized for her misconduct, and my sister and Pin'er won't suffer any loss."
Old Marquis Qiu shook his head: "The Second Prince probably thought the same as you, so he just sent people to monitor and did not take any further action.
If the second prince can make good use of this matter, the destructive power will be quite large.
For example, it is said that Yier, in order to have a son or for his own selfish desires, forcibly abducted a beautiful woman who was engaged and kept her in captivity.
The beauty disagreed, and Yier either beat her or scolded her, and the beauty almost lost half her life.
When the man’s family or the woman’s family came to find them, Yier borrowed the power of the Queen or the Third Prince to forcefully suppress them. They dared not speak out and left with hatred…”
Qiu Zhilin's eyes widened: "Dad, isn't this nonsense?"
"At that time, who will care whether things are true or false? Whoever has power and influence will have the truth. Do you understand?"
How could Qiu Zhilin not understand?
History is written by people. Those who write history will listen to whoever has the most power, and they will write whatever they are told to write.
If the second prince is powerful, his words will naturally be effective.
Qiu Zhilin nodded and sighed:
“In fact, everyone knows that the emperor’s choice is none other than Pin’er, but Pin’er has a broken leg.
There are rumors that Pin'er wants to support Ge'er. Dad, has Pin'er told you about this? "
Lord Qiu smiled and patted his son on the shoulder:
"Just do your job well and don't worry about things that shouldn't be your concern. Just let nature take its course."
Let nature take its course?
Qiu Zhilin was completely confused by what his father said and left in a daze.
Old Lord Qiu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Yi Jingpin's people secretly told him that Qiu Chiyi's affair was discovered by the girl from the Xiu family.
Alas, he owed that girl a big favor again.
