Chapter 131

So what if she scolded him? Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away to leave.

Dongfang Yan followed her like a dog-skin plaster, "Qingyue, where are you going? And last night, you didn't return all night, I searched the whole capital and couldn't find you, whose house did you spend the night at? As a Princess, you left the capital privately without saying a word. After finally returning, you didn't even return home and went out to spend the night. Women should follow the three obediences and four virtues, you..."

Lin Qingyue shouted, "Shut up!"

The next moment, Dongfang Yan couldn't say a word, only able to make "Aba Aba" sounds.

He glared at Lin Qingyue angrily: "Aba Aba Aba..." What did you do to me?

Lin Qingyue said, "You should be glad I have turned over a new leaf."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be using the Silence Curse, but would have directly raised her hand and dropped her sword, causing his head to move house.

"There are a few court officials over there who seem to want to come and talk to you. If they find out that the noble Jin Wang has become a mute, only able to say Aba Aba, I don't know what their reaction will be? Haha, it feels very interesting!"

Lin Qingyue said and made a gesture to call someone.

Dongfang Yan didn't want to be seen in this ugly state by his subordinates, so after glaring at Lin Qingyue again, he walked away quickly. It was truly miserable.

After the troublesome person left, Lin Qingyue turned her head and saw Dongfang Qi walking towards her.

She walked over with a smile to greet him, "Crown Prince, thank you for your trouble."

Dongfang Qi asked with feigned confusion, "What are you thanking me for?"

Lin Qingyue said, "No need to pretend. The honor of a Prince must be your masterpiece. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many ministers speaking for me in the court just now. Chaolan Female Prince... hmm, I like this title very much."

Once it rises, it stirs up waves, earth-shattering! It's like she's about to flip this empire upside down by accident.

Dongfang Qi smiled slightly: She really likes this title, the morning light of the dynasty, the magnificence of the waves, elegant and atmospheric, suitable for her.

"Just an empty name, it doesn't count for anything. To block the mouths of those old ministers, your title cannot be hereditary for the time being, I hope you don't mind."

"That doesn't matter." Lin Qingyue said indifferently, "Anyway, I don't have plans to have children, whether it's hereditary or not, it's all the same to me."

She wanted a title, just because she knew clearly that in the current country, if she wanted to gain more freedom, she had to stand in a higher position to have a higher right to speak.

Dongfang Qi pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "You and Dongfang Yan... how do you plan to solve it? I don't want to interfere in your private affairs, I'm just afraid Dongfang Yan will make things difficult for you."

Lin Qingyue said, "He can't make things difficult for me. I wanted the title just so I wouldn't be controlled by others. Now that I have been conferred a Prince title, I have the right to submit memorials. When I have time later, I will write a memorial for divorce and submit it to your father. The marriage he bestowed still needs to be untied by him."

After a pause, Lin Qingyue suddenly asked Dongfang Qi, "What if your father doesn't approve?"

Then she laughed, "It's okay, if he doesn't agree, I'll force him to agree! If he insists on being stubborn and refuses to agree, then I'll just go up another level!"

Dongfang Qi asked, "Go up another level? Prince is already the top title, where else do you want to go?"

Lin Qingyue leaned closer and said in a joking tone, "What if I seize your father's position, what will you do?"

Her breath was like orchids, the warm air brushing past Dongfang Qi's ear, tangling with a few strands of ambiguous itching.

In Dongfang Qi's mind, a scene from a dream suddenly appeared—Lin Qingyue wearing a mysterious black imperial crown, gently calling him: "A Zhuo."

And he held her soft waist, his fingertips peeling off the solemn robe inch by inch, until the moonlight covered her shoulders, reflecting the snow-like skin underneath...

What am I thinking?

He suddenly took a step back, distancing himself from Lin Qingyue, his eyes panicked and he didn't dare to look directly at the beauty in front of him.

"You must not say that to anyone else again. Even as a joke, you can't!"

After saying that, he walked away in a hurry.

Lin Qingyue looked at his panicked back and laughed heartlessly: You should also be glad that I have turned over a new leaf.

It looks like a joke, but it's actually a kind of probing.

Chiying Land, a friendship of life and death. But when returning to the high position of power, how long can that little bit of life-saving grace last?

I don't know how many emperors had a few life-and-death friends before ascending to the throne. But after ascending to the high position, they changed their faces.

Cooking the hunting dog after the rabbit is dead is not uncommon.

She was once an emperor and knew how seriously power could corrode the human heart.

Will the future Dongfang Qi be like this too?

But judging from his reaction just now, he was still extremely protective of Lin Qingyue. Even if she deliberately provoked imperial power, he didn't really get angry.

But what about later? If one day he ascends to the throne, can he still maintain his current innocent heart?

After leaving the palace, Lin Qingyue went to the Xuanjing Division with a light carriage and simple followers.

The rabble of the Xuanjing Division had just learned that Lin Qingyue had been conferred a Prince title and were all happy for her. They surrounded Lin Qingyue and talked noisily:

"Deputy Envoy Lin has made it big this time, I heard she was rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold! How many years would I have to work to earn ten thousand gold?"

"Stop counting on your fingers, a beast of burden like you could work for a lifetime and not have that much money."

"Deputy Envoy Lin, I envy you so much! Why can't I be conferred a Prince title? I think my contribution is also very big!"

"Dami, don't join in the fun. You want to be conferred a Prince title? What title, Rat Prince? Then you already are one!"

"Deputy Envoy Lin, you must treat us tonight! We want to go to the best restaurant and eat the most expensive food!"

These people in the Xuanjing Division were from the bottom of society and didn't have so many rules.

Even if Lin Qingyue was now a Prince, to them, it was just that she had made a fortune, and there was no difference at all. So the address was still the same as before, and they didn't talk about upper and lower status.

"Okay, tonight I will treat you to the best restaurant and eat the most expensive food!" Lin Qingyue herself was not a person who followed many rules, so she naturally liked to hang out with these people and call each other brothers.

Dami turned his attention to Xie Shouzheng: "Lord Xie, why are you not saying anything, don't think we don't know you also got a lot of rewards. Deputy Envoy Lin is treating tonight, tomorrow night it will be Lord Xie's turn to treat!"

Xie Shouzheng scolded: "A bunch of ignorant bastards, only knowing how to eat! Making a scene for a while is enough, all get lost and do your work! Dami, you stay and report on the recent cases in the Xuanjing Division."

During the few days they were away, there would naturally be other cases in the capital.

Dami reported the cases that had occurred recently one by one.

After listening, Xie Shouzheng suddenly asked: "Is that all, no omissions?"

Dami shook his head: "No, it's all here."

Lin Qingyue took over the conversation and asked: "Where is Hong Yao?"

Dami looked blank: "What red medicine white medicine? Is it delicious?"

Xie Shouzheng slapped him: "You only know how to eat! Hong Yao is a name, the fox demon Hong Yao! Didn't she come to surrender?"

Dami scratched his head: "I haven't heard of any fox demons appearing in the capital recently, let alone any demons coming to surrender."

Previously at Donglin Fu, after Miao Donggui was arrested, Hong Yao and them agreed that she would go to the Xuanjing Division headquarters in the capital to surrender. For this reason, Xie Shouzheng even wrote a letter of petition by hand, so that the brothers in the yamen could give her some care when detaining her.

Didn't expect her to break her promise. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
