Chapter 194: What kind of bullshit Prince, do you really think I care?
Why wouldn't Emperor Qi Zhaodi understand this principle?
But he really didn't like Lin Qingyue's tone, as if Lin Qingyue was the superior, teaching him how to cultivate an heir.
"Lin Qingyue! You are simply arrogant! Do I need your guidance?"
"Your Majesty naturally doesn't need it. You have been the Emperor for so long, the country is easy to change but the nature is hard to change, even if I gave you guidance, you might not listen."
"You! Presumptuous!" Emperor Qi Zhaodi was so angry that he smashed a vase, "Do you really think that after being made a Prince, you can be arrogant and not even put me in your eyes?"
Dongfang Qi was really in a dilemma, trying to persuade Lin Qingyue to say less, and trying to persuade Emperor Qi Zhaodi not to get angry.
But neither side had a good temper, needles against wheat, and they actually started arguing.
Finally, Emperor Qi Zhaodi slapped the table and ordered: "Lin Qingyue is arrogant and conceited, losing decorum before the Emperor, not worthy of the position of Prince. From this moment on, the title of Prince is abolished!"
"Father!" Dongfang Qi's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly kowtowed to plead.
Lin Qingyue, however, said lazily: "What kind of bullshit Prince, do you really think I care?"
After speaking, she turned and left.
Emperor Qi Zhaodi was trembling with anger: "Dongfang Qi, is this the woman you are obsessed with marrying? Outrageous, arrogant, domineering, this is unreasonable!"
"Father..."
"Shut up, if you plead for her again, I will kill her! Get out! Get out!"
Dongfang Qi was seeing his father so angry for the first time. He had clearly smoothed everything over, even if his father was angry, he would at most say a few words or punish his salary and that would be it.
But Yueyue she...
No, she is not the kind of impulsive person without a brain, there is really no need to say those things.
Could it be... she did it on purpose?
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to Emperor Qi Zhaodi:
"Father, please don't be angry. Some things really shouldn't be looked at only on the surface. Although you and Chaolan... Deputy Envoy Lin haven't been together for long, you can also see that she is a smart and capable person. Although this son doesn't know why she said those things just now, this son feels that there must be an inside story. Wait for this son, this son will go find her to ask clearly about the reason and then come back to report to Father!"
"Not allowed to go!"
Dongfang Qi was worried about Lin Qingyue and couldn't care about anything else, turning around to leave.
"Stop the Crown Prince!"
At Emperor Qi Zhaodi's order, more than a hundred imperial guards rushed out.
Dongfang Qi looked back and pleaded: "Father, what do you mean by this?"
Qi Zhaodi said: "It means nothing. I just don't want you to continue having such close dealings with Lin Qingyue. She has already been stripped of her title as a Prince. Out of consideration for you, her position in the Xuanjing Division is temporarily retained. But if you remain obsessed and unrepentant, you are forcing me to deal with her lethally! Qi'er, I hope you think this through. Some mistakes you make, I will cover for you. But some mistakes are a reverse scale that cannot be tolerated!"
Dongfang Qi knew that this time Lin Qingyue had violated the dignity of the monarch, which was why Emperor Qi Zhaodi was so angry.
If he insisted, he would only make things worse.
So he nodded obediently: "Father, please calm down, this son has no intention of disobedience. This son is willing to listen to Father's disposal, even if you want to execute this son, this son has no complaints. Only hope Father will not make things difficult for Lin Qingyue."
After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
Emperor Qi Zhaodi got angry just looking at him like this, waving his hand impatiently: "Send the Crown Prince back to the Eastern Palace for confinement, without my permission, he is not allowed to come out. And no one is allowed to visit!"
After the Crown Prince was taken away and there was no one else in the hall, the anger on Emperor Qi Zhaodi's face dissipated.
He sat on the dragon chair and sighed helplessly: "People have already said it like that, isn't the intention obvious enough? You silly child is really... sigh! Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Saying he was too lazy to care, but in the end, he still had to clean up the mess for him.
Dongfang Yan's body couldn't be seen by others, otherwise his cause of death couldn't be hidden, so it had to be handled well.
Of course, Emperor Qi Zhaodi wouldn't be stingy with the grand funeral and posthumous title that should be given.
In addition, the title of Prince Jin also had to be inherited by someone, so that the old Prince Jin wouldn't lose his incense offerings in the future.
Hmm, let Dongfang Yan's seventh brother inherit the title.
That child is a bit stupid, but he shouldn't have any other inappropriate thoughts...
That night, after Lin Qingyue returned to Lan Yuan, she called Hong Yao to her side and said: "Hong Yao, although you haven't been in the Xuanjing Division for long, your ability is considered a leader among the guards."
Hong Yao said modestly: "It's mainly because Dami, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi are too stupid, which makes me stand out. It's also thanks to Lord Xie being able to suppress them, allowing them to learn from each other's strengths and show their abilities."
Lin Qingyue couldn't help but laugh: "So this is praising Xie Shouzheng?"
Hong Yao sighed: "He is my superior after all, I can't keep disliking him. I have to look at his strengths, otherwise it's not easy to cooperate with work."
Lin Qingyue patted her on the shoulder: "I am very pleased that you can get along well with them. Calling you here today is to entrust you with something."
Seeing her serious tone, Hong Yao also restrained her joking expression and said: "If you have something to say, just say it. My life belongs to you, even if you ask me to die, I will have no complaints!"
"It's not that serious." Lin Qingyue said, "I am going to leave the capital for a while, and in the future, you should follow Lord Xie in the Xuanjing Division to handle cases well."
Hong Yao hurriedly asked: "How long will you be gone? When will you be back?"
Lin Qingyue lowered her head and took a sip of tea: "The return date is uncertain, so tonight can be considered a farewell."
Hong Yao was shocked: "Aren't you a Prince of Da Qi? How can the return date be uncertain?"
Lin Qingyue put down the teacup and chuckled: "How could a person like me be trapped in a small world by a title? In fact, I have just been stripped of my title as Prince. Although the position of Deputy Envoy is still there, if I don't return for a long time, you can take over this position."
The more Hong Yao heard, the more wrong it felt, and she lifted her skirt and knelt down: "Deputy Envoy Lin, Hong Yao came to the capital because of you. Entering the Xuanjing Division is also because I want to follow you. Since you are leaving, no matter where you go, no matter what you want to do, please take Hong Yao with you. Hong Yao is willing to be a slave and maid to serve you."
"Get up!" Lin Qingyue raised her hand and waved a force, lifting her up.
"Hong Yao, remember well, you are not anyone's follower, you are just yourself. Although I saved you, it was just a small effort, and I don't need you to repay me, let alone be a slave or maid."
"Oh, right!" Lin Qingyue said, and took out a box of land deeds and documents, "When dealing with Duke Li before, I blacked ten prosperous shops from the Li family. Some of these shops have been rented out, and some have their own businesses."
"I entrust them all to you, help me take care of them when you have time. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. All the rent and dividends, I will give you one layer. Save the rest for me, if I can come back, I will find you to take them. Look, my family property is in your hands, which means I will come back sooner or later."
"Deputy Envoy Lin, how can I manage these things? Even if you want to entrust them, you should entrust them to the Crown Prince. He has many advisors under him, and anyone he finds will manage better than me."
But Lin Qingyue shook her head: "He and I are ultimately people on two different paths. Rather than being entangled and causing trouble for each other, it's better to break it cleanly." ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
