Chapter 155 caused public outrage?
Chapter 155 caused public outrage?
They are not stupid. After the emperor said this, they naturally understood the meaning.
It seems that the imperial city will be in chaos after the emperor goes to war.
After making the arrangements, Leng Qingyi returned to his own Yangxin Palace and called back all the secret guards who remained in the capital.
The secret guards lined up in order. Except for Leng Ba from the northern battlefield, all the others were here.
"Leng Yi, you stay in the capital to coordinate the overall situation and take care of Concubine Yi."
"Yes, Master."
"Leng Er, you will be responsible for Concubine Yi's safety while staying by her side. If she gets pregnant after I leave, you will be responsible for the safety of both her and her mother."
"Leave it to me, Master."
"Okay, you are the most attentive person. Please pay attention to Concubine Yi's daily food, clothing and expenses. If the news of her pregnancy gets out, she will inevitably become a target of public criticism."
"Don't worry, the safety of the mistress and the young master is in my hands."
"Leng San, follow me to the battlefield."
"Yes, Master, I can't wait."
"Leng Si, the security of the dungeon and the interrogation of those prisoners are now in your hands."
"Yes, Master."
"Leng Wu, if anything goes wrong with the imperial court, the food and fodder for the soldiers at the border will depend on you."
"No problem. The master's private property is now no less than the national treasury."
Leng Qingyi was very satisfied after hearing this. In the past, she had a system to support her in everything she did. Now, she was fighting alone without any money, and she really didn't have the confidence.
"Leng Liu, in addition to the news in Dongxia, you should also pay more attention to the movements in Nanqiu and Xichun. If there is any unusual movement, notify me immediately."
"Yes, Master."
"Leng Qi, come with me."
"Yes, Master."
"Leng Jiu, Leng Shi, the two of you are responsible for the safety of Concubine Yi and the Prime Minister."
"Yes, Master."
"Eleven has always assisted Leng Wu, and will continue to do so."
"Yes, Master."
"Twelve assists Leng Liu, and also delivers news between the Northern Territory and the Capital."
"Yes, Master."
"The rest of you will follow me to the battlefield."
"Yes, Master."
Leng Qingyi had just finished giving his orders when Zhongli Yuan walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes and a strange posture.
"A Leng, Leng Er alone is enough to protect me, but having one more person by your side will make you safer."
Seeing Zhongli Yuan coming out, Leng Qing waved his hand and sent all the secret guards away.
Only Leng San was left standing there with a look of "I want to eat melons" written on his face.
He heard it very clearly just now. This woman was their mistress, and there was a high possibility that she was pregnant.
Oh my God, little master, he could sit on the little master to death.
"You don't think the capital is safer than the battlefield, do you? You know my abilities are stronger than those of the secret guards, no need to worry."
"As for you, if you get pregnant in the harem, it will be even more dangerous. You won't understand the endless tricks in the harem."
"I know, isn't Leng Er still here?"
"Two fists are no match for four hands. The Imperial Seal in your hands is already coveted. If you become pregnant, you will only become a thorn in the eyes of even more people. Be obedient."
Zhongli Yuan thought about it and realized that this made sense. Compared to A Leng, he was the vulnerable one who needed protection.
"Okay, don't worry. If I'm lucky enough to get pregnant, I'll protect him even if it costs me my life."
Leng Qingyi didn't quite agree with this selfless idea, but she didn't say anything. It was the other person's own child and his own life, and she had no right to interfere.
"Leng Yi will be in the palace for a while. If you have any questions, you can discuss it with him."
If she remembered correctly, Leng Yi was more expensive than the other secret guards, and his skill points were almost maxed out, making him more reliable than herself.
"With Leng Yi, Leng Er, Leng Jiu and Leng Shi around, you won't be in danger."
"Ah."
Yan Ruju in the harem was not very sad when she heard the news that the Duke's Mansion was being liquidated. Instead, she felt a sense of calmness in her heart as if the dust had settled.
"Ma Lan, has there been any movement in Weiyang Palace these past two days?"
Ma Lan has been worried these past two days. She noticed it but didn't ask.
I thought if there was something important she would always tell me, but I didn't expect that this girl has not said anything until now.
She had no choice but to ask. This girl had lost her relatives and was alone. The reason why she was so worried must be related to her.
This girl is so worried but doesn't speak up. I guess it's news from Weiyang Palace.
Ma Lan, who was guarding Yan Ruju, shuddered all over. She had been struggling over whether to tell her master for the past two days.
If I tell him, I'm afraid my master will be sad, but if I don't tell him, I won't be able to keep it secret for long.
Now that her master had asked her, she had to tell him.
"Your Majesty, the one from Weiyang Palace secretly went to the Emperor's Yangxin Palace two nights ago. She hasn't come out in the past few days except for the palace maids who went to deliver clothes."
Yan Ruju's eyebrows twitched, and she always had a bad feeling.
"Is the news true?"
"It's true. Every day in the afternoon, the autumn rain in Weiyang Palace takes clothes to Yangxin Palace. That person has never come out."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi really doesn't take you seriously. She hasn't even come to see you in such a long time since returning to the palace."
"Don't worry about it. Don't you know what her situation is?"
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Emperor will be leaving for war in two days. Won't you prepare something for him?"
There was confusion in Yan Ruju's eyes. These past few days, she always felt confused and listless.
"Miss?"
"Oh, go prepare some."
Ma Lan thought that her master was feeling sad because of the fall of the Duke's Mansion, which was why he was in low spirits.
Looking at her master with heartache, she spoke to comfort him: "Your Majesty, the Duke has done so many wrong things that it is inevitable that he will be punished by the Emperor. Fortunately, the Emperor loves you and has not implicated you."
"is it?"
"That's right. Think about it, if the Duke assassinated the Emperor, it would be a capital crime. In the past, when the mothers of the concubines committed crimes, they were all implicated and banished to the cold palace."
"Look at you again. Not only was you not banished to the cold palace, but your rank is still the highest in the harem. If this isn't love, then what is it?"
"Maybe so."
Seeing that her master looked listless and listless, Ma Lan didn't know what to say, so she went out to prepare farewell gifts for her master to the emperor.
The Duke has caused such a big disaster that the Emperor will inevitably have some grudges against his master.
I don’t know when I will be able to return from this expedition.
But she couldn't let the emperor forget the master, so she had to think about what to prepare to make the emperor always remember the master's kindness.
For the next three days, all the court officials were in high spirits. The emperor really wanted to eliminate all the corrupt officials in the court before leading the army.
Those who found definite evidence were dealt with directly. Those who did not find definite evidence but knew that they were guilty were labeled as members of the party of the Duke of Zhenguo, the party of the Second Prince, or the party of the Prince of Xin and the Prince of Qi, and their property was confiscated and they were exiled.
You may ask if doing this will not cause public outrage?
Then Leng Qingyi tells you, no.
Whoever is angry will be punished. Anyone who speaks for the guilty minister is definitely not a good person.
After so many days, the news of the war at the border had reached the ears of the people in the capital.
