"Your sons and ministers pay their respects to the emperor, the emperor, Jin An!”As soon as Yuqi and Yureng entered Yangxin Palace Hall, they knelt down and greeted Qianlong, who was resting on the couch with his eyes closed.
Qianlong nodded and sat up." Get up!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qianlong looked up at Yuqi, his most beloved son." Yuqi, why did you take so long to come back? Didn't I ask you to come back immediately after you're done with your business?”
Yuqi cupped his hands." Your son encountered an assassin on the way, so I was delayed for some time.”
Qianlong was stunned and suddenly stood up." Assassin? Are you alright?"
"Fortunately, 14th brother arrived in time, or else your son would never be able to see the emperor again!”
"Yureng, is that so? Is the situation really that dangerous?"
"Your Majesty, Fifth Brother is speaking the truth. If your son had arrived a quarter of an hour later, Fifth Brother would have been stabbed to death by Fucha Ruiguang!”
Upon hearing the words " Fucha Ruiguang ", Consort Lan, who had been serving Qianlong, immediately threw a teacup in her hand. Qianlong was also very surprised." Fucha Ruiguang? Yureng, are you sure? Wasn't Fucha Ruiguang Fucha Deguang's son? How could it be…"
"That's right, Your Majesty." Fucha Ruiguang was personally captured by your son, there is no mistake. Not only that, there were 37 other criminals, all of whom were in the Ministry of Justice's prison.”
Qianlong slapped the table and said angrily,""Damned beast! He actually dared to assassinate a prince? Men, tell Fucha Deguang to come in immediately!”
After a while, Fucha Deguang, who had returned to the capital to report on his work, crawled in with a trembling body." I, Fucha Deguang, kowtow to my emperor! Long live, long live, long live!"”
"Fucha Deguang, you taught your son well! How dare you assassinate a prince?"
Fucha Deguang slammed his head on the ground." This subject deserves to die ten thousand times. This subject has failed to educate his son properly. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"”
"You also know that you didn't teach your son well and deserve to die ten thousand times?”
"I deserve to die, but I have something to report.”
"What do you want to say?"
"I don't know what's going on either, but I know that Auspicious Light definitely wouldn't dare to do such a treasonous thing. There must be a misunderstanding.”
Yureng took a step forward." Lord Fu Cha, I personally caught him and handed him over to the Ministry of Justice for punishment. How can you say that there was a misunderstanding?”
"This is really a misunderstanding, because Ruiguang was going to catch a thief who committed a crime in the province, who knew that it would turn into an assassination of His Highness.”
Qianlong waved his hand." Wait a minute. What thief did you say?”
"Reporting to the emperor, a female thief appeared in Shandong a few days ago. She used drugs to knock out passing merchants and robbed them. In order to track down this female thief, the unfilial son had been dealing with her for a long time. Who knew that this female thief had the help of an expert and actually escaped from Shandong and committed a crime in Anhui. When the unfilial son heard the news, he rushed to Anhui and chased after her together with the general of the Hui Provincial Battalion, Ma Ming, and the county magistrate of Tong City, Zhang Xiliang. However, this female thief has remarkable abilities. She actually…actually…"
Qianlong's eyes widened." What?”
Fucha Deguang stole a glance at Yuqi, who had a cold expression on his face, and stuttered,""He actually hid in wangye's carriage. That's why the unfilial son disturbed wangye. Emperor, please investigate. The unfilial son has no intention of offending the emperor!”
Qianlong turned to Yuqi." Yuqi, is there such a thing?”
Yuqi did not answer Qianlong's question. Instead, he directly faced Fucha Deguang." A female thief who committed a crime in Yue Province? Lord Fu Cha, are you talking about the female thief who colluded with Gao Jin to gather a crowd to offend her superior?”
Fucha Deguang broke out in a cold sweat." I don't know if it's true, but it's true that Gao Jin colluded with the female thief. It's also true that he let the female thief go. That's why the Emperor ordered Gao Jin to commit suicide in a fit of anger. As for whether this female thief was the one who got into his highness 'carriage, this official is not sure!”
"Lord Fu Cha, your ability to twist right and wrong is really strong!" Yuqi rolled his tiger eyes and said sternly.”
Fucha Deguang's body trembled." Your…Your Highness, you really like to joke around. I'm telling the truth. How can I be twisting right and wrong?”
"Is that so?" Yuqi squatted down and leaned closer to Fucha Deguang." Let me ask you, do you know who that female thief is?”
"I don't know. I've never seen it before. I only heard the unfilial son mention it.”
"There's no harm in telling you. The female thief you keep talking about was rescued from the Yellow River by me and personally handed over to Gao Jin to take care of. If Gao Jin took in a female thief and gathered a crowd to rebel, then shouldn't I be counted as one of them?”
" I don't dare to. How would I dare to say that Fifth Master is wrong? I just heard that the female thief is very powerful. Many people have fallen in her hands…"
"Oh? Was that so? If she was so powerful, why would she let people be tied to a wooden board and drift with the flow? She was even labeled as a thief and a prostitute, and the one who took her in would have no descendants?”
"I…I…"
"Let me ask you again. If she was really so powerful, why couldn't she protect her family? Not only did her family suffer a calamity, but her sister was also raped to death by your son?”
Fucha Deguang was stunned on the spot." Your…Your Highness, I…I don't understand what Your Highness is saying?”
Yuqi snorted and stood up. He took out a memorial from his pocket and handed it to Qianlong." Your Majesty, this is what I brought from Suzhou overnight on a fast horse. Please take a look."”
Qianlong took the memorial and read it. His expression changed drastically." Yuqi, is what's written on it true? Did such a tragic massacre really happen in Suzhou?”
"Half of it is true."
"Since it's true, what is the Suzhou government doing? Why didn't anyone send a memorial to the throne after such a big incident? Yureng, why do you care about the Ministry of Justice? Are all the people from the Ministry of Justice asleep? Why didn't you tell me about this?”
When Yu Ren heard the Ministry of Justice, he quickly took the memorial and read it." Your Majesty, this case has not been reported to the Ministry of Justice at all."”
"You didn't report to the Ministry of Justice?"
Yuqi continued," That's right. After this case was sent out of the Suzhou government, it was detained by the governor of the two rivers, Cha Xuepu, and returned to the Suzhou government. Naturally, it could not be reported to the Ministry of Justice."”
"Damned Cha Xuepu, how dare you deceive your superiors and subordinates?”
"Your Majesty, it's not that Cha Xuepu is deceiving his superiors and subordinates. It's just that someone didn't want Cha Xuepu to report to the Ministry of Justice so that the case wouldn't blow up and he wouldn't lose his position.”
Qianlong's eyes narrowed." Who do you mean by someone?”
Yuqi's eyes glanced over and pointed at Fucha Deguang on the ground." It's Lord Fucha's son, Fucha Ruiguang!"”
Fucha Deguang almost fainted when he heard that." Emperor, Emperor, Emperor…"
So Yuqi told him how Fucha Ruiguang had threatened Su Panpan, raped Su Xianxian, killed more than a dozen people in the Su family, and then wanted to silence them in Anhui. He told him everything about the prince. Qianlong's face turned ashen, Fucha Deguang's face turned deathly pale, and even Consort Lan knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Qianlong was so angry that he nodded. He glared at Consort Lan beside him and turned to Fucha Deguang." Fucha Deguang, you really raised a good son!" He dared to do such a heinous thing?”
"Emperor, this matter…this matter is just a woman's nonsense, you can't believe it, you can't believe it!”
Yu Qi's expression changed." You can't believe it? Lord Fu Cha, Su Panpan is in my house now. Do you want to confront her face to face?”
"I, I, I…"
Qianlong reprimanded sternly,"Alright! All of you shut up! Yureng!"
"Your son is here!"
"Go investigate this matter and report to me!”
"Yes!"
"Fucha Deguang!"
"Your subject is here!"
"You didn't teach your son well and allowed him to commit a crime. You should have taken off the flower feathers on your head and dismissed him from his post. Considering that the truth is still unknown and that you are old, I will temporarily remove you from the post of governor of Shandong and stay in the capital for observation. Yuqi!"
"Your son is here!"
"Is Su Panpan in your residence now?”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Su Panpan will be temporarily under your care. When the case is investigated, Zhen will give her justice. As for Ma Ming, Zhang Xiliang, and Gao Jin, investigate and write a report.”
"Your son obeys the decree. Your son will take his leave!"
Yuqi and Yureng kowtowed and were about to leave Yangxin Palace Hall when Qianlong suddenly called out to Yuqi.
"Yuqi, come back. Zhen still has something to discuss with you.”
Yuqi was slightly startled. He exchanged a look with Yureng, indicating for him to go back first before he stepped into Yangxin Palace Hall.
"What orders do you have?"
"What do you think of Ke Qing?"
Yuqi raised his eyebrows." How is it? Did the Emperor say that the Empress Dowager would personally choose a maid?”
"That's right, the Empress Dowager likes her very much and wants to betroth her to one of your brothers. Zhen's intention is to choose between you and Yuli.”
Yuqi felt a headache. He didn't know about the other younger brothers, but he was very clear about Yu Li. Yu Li was now crazy about a girl called Zhu Daixiu. He was not human, nor was he a ghost. If Yu Li abandoned Zhu Daixiu and married Ke Qing, it would be better to let Yu Li be a bachelor for the rest of his life!
But if it was him…he couldn't help but think of Su Panpan's beautiful, flirtatious, and flirtatious appearance. Would he be willing to give up on Su Panpan?
Thinking of this, Yuqi cupped his hands." Your Majesty, allow me to discuss this matter with my twelfth brother before reporting to Your Majesty!”
"Alright, you can kneel down!"
Su Panpan naturally stayed by Yuqi's side and became the only servant girl in his room.
Almost all the brothers and ministers knew that Yuqi had a servant girl like Su Panpan, and because she used the name Su Bihuan to cheat many merchants of their property, those brothers always liked to call her Bihuan when they met. In addition, Yuqi always said that she was called Yuanyang. In less than three days, the name of Yuanyang's maid actually spread throughout the entire capital. A few months later, even the common people knew that there was a Yuanyang maid in Prince De's residence. She was Prince De's beloved concubine.
For this beloved concubine, Prince De had spent a lot of effort. He had buried a general alive, dismissed a county magistrate, toppled a governor, and demoted a noble consort. From ancient times to the present, the only person who could make a master spend so much effort to protect a beloved maid was probably Su Panpan.
Su Panpan naturally knew what others thought of her, but she didn't care. Anyway, she was already a notorious woman. She didn't care about one more name or one less title. She just wanted Yuqi to treat her well.
On this day, the Fourth Prince Yuqi, the Twelfth Prince Yuli, the Thirteenth Prince Yuhao, the Fourteenth Prince Yureng, and some of the brothers who were usually on good terms with Yuqi had all arrived. A group of people had come to meet Su Panpan, the mandarin duck maid, and discuss some matters.
Coincidentally, Su Panpan carried the tea to each of them. When they looked at her, she also looked at them. All of them blushed and didn't know what to do.
However, Yureng had met Su Panpan before and knew her temperament. He immediately said,"Bi Huan, it's rare for this master to come here today. What are you going to treat this master to?”
Su Panpan glared at him," The 14th Prince eats all kinds of delicacies every day.”
"Delicacies are not as good as delicacies. Fifth Brother said that your hands are quite skillful.”
Su Panpan twisted her waist, rolled her eyes at Yuqi, and went into the kitchen.
After a while, he came out with a bowl of cornbread. These brothers grew up in the palace and had never seen any cornbread. They couldn't help but be very curious.
"What is this?" Yu Hao asked.
Yu Li reached out and touched it." This thing is so hard. Can you eat it?"”
Su Panpan's beautiful eyes glanced at Yuli and smiled. She said half-sarcastically and half-seriously,"Of course they do. When there was a natural disaster, how many people relied on this cornbread to survive!”
Yu He took one and sniffed it." You're not telling us to only eat this, are you?”
"Yes, Bihuan used the pickled vegetables from the Six Must Restaurant to serve the dishes to all of you. We usually eat dried radish, so how can it be so good?”
Yuqi couldn't help but laugh and finally said,""Huan 'er, don't be so unruly.”
At the mention of punishment, Su Panpan's face instantly turned red. However, scenes of how he punished her day and night flashed through her mind. How he loved her day and night, making her unable to do anything but lie in bed and let him do whatever he wanted.
At the thought of this, she was both angry and annoyed. She glared at him." You're a master. How could he be so unruly and keep saying that he wanted to punish people?”
Yuqi smiled slightly and did not seem to mind." Huan 'er, help me greet all the masters. I have something to discuss with my twelfth brother.”
As he spoke, he got up and gave Yu Li a look. Yu Li knew and immediately tidied his clothes and followed him out.
"Fifth Brother, what's the matter?"
"Let me ask you, how are things between you and Miss Zhu?”
Speaking of Zhu Daixiu, Yu Li's handsome face turned cold, and his brows were stained with a thin layer of worry." She was very desperate. She said that she had harmed me, and she didn't even want to go back to the capital with me.”
Because Zhu Daixiu's grandfather was a minister of the previous dynasty, and Zhu Daixiu's father wrote a book that caused a great uproar, Yu Li was not sure if he could save Zhu Daixiu's life, let alone the future of the two.
Yuqi said heavily," A few months ago, when I just came back from Jiangsu, the emperor once mentioned to me that he wanted to betroth his sweetheart to one of us. Do you know about this?"”
Yu Li raised his head," Of course I know. The Emperor has also mentioned it to me many times. But fifth brother, you know that I only have Qing `er in my heart. Other than her, I don't want anyone else. So even if the emperor kills me, I will not agree to marry Keqing.”
"I know. As an elder brother, I should have taken this responsibility, but I really can't bear to part with Huan 'er. She's suffered so much, suffered so much, she…"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind them.""One of you will die without Qing `er, and the other won't be able to live without Huan` er. Since that's the case, why don't you tell the emperor that you won't marry either of them?”
Yuqi and Yuli were shocked at the same time." Who?”
A graceful figure came out from behind the tree trunk. Yuqi could not help but be a little surprised when he saw it.
"Ke Qing, it's you? Why did you…"
"Why am I here, am I not?" However, she looked at Yuqi and said," I've been here for a while. I saw that you guys were chatting happily and it wasn't convenient for me to go in and disturb you, so I wandered around here alone. I wanted to wait for everyone to leave before going in to see you. I didn't expect you and Brother Twelve to…"
However, Qing bit her lips and turned to leave.
Yuqi and Yuli were both stunned on the spot. Neither of them thought of chasing after him.
In the end, Yuqi was the first to recover." Twelfth Brother, you go back first. I'll go after Keqing. She's a girl. If anything happens to her, it'll be difficult to explain to the Empress Dowager.”
In fact, Ke Qing did not go far. Yuqi found her a few feet away from the palace and pulled her back.
"Keqing, listen to me…"
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!" Ke Qing shouted and threw herself into Yuqi's arms, hugging him tightly." Fifth Brother, you know that I've always liked you. I've always wanted to marry you. How could you…"
"Keqing, don't be like this…"
But Qing shook her head desperately, tiptoed, and used her mouth to block Yuqi, taking the initiative to kiss him.
Yuqi was surprised and wanted to push her away.
However, she hugged him tightly and bit Yuqi's lips." Fifth Brother, I know that bitch must have seduced you, right? You're a prince, the emperor's most beloved son. You can't take the initiative to get close to her. It must be her, it must be her…"
Yuqi pushed her away." No, but it's not what you think. Huan 'er and I are in love with each other. There's no distinction between who takes the initiative and who is passive. Besides, Huan' er is not the kind of woman you think she is.”
Ke Qing looked up in disbelief." Fifth Brother, are you defending her?”
"No, I'm just telling the truth. Huan 'er really isn't the kind of woman you think she is.”
"No? The entire capital was filled with rumors. It was said that Prince De had taken in a woman. That woman had committed adultery with her lover and was tied to a wooden board to drift with the flow. It was you who saved her. Was this not true?”
"Huan 'er was tied to a wooden plank and drifted, but it was definitely not because of adultery!”
"Not adultery? Then they said that you did not hesitate to abuse the imperial gold medal, bury Ma Ming alive, remove Zhang Xiliang from his post, and even help her overthrow the Shandong governor Fu Cha Deguang who wanted to harm her. Isn't this true?”
Yuqi opened his mouth, but then shook his head and closed it. At this time, it was useless for him to explain anything. He did not need to explain so much to Ke Qing because he did not love her and did not want to marry her. Therefore, there was no need.
Seeing that Yuqi did not explain, she thought that he had tacitly agreed! A trace of anger appeared on her pretty face, and she turned around to leave.
However, when she stepped on the threshold and was about to open the door, two shadows from afar made her heart skip a beat and she turned around.
"Fifth Brother, am I beautiful?"
Yuqi was stunned." You…"
She swayed her slender waist slightly." Fifth Brother, tell me. Am I beautiful?”
Yuqi looked at Ke Qing, his sharp eyes scrutinizing her from top to bottom." You're very beautiful. You're a national beauty and a celestial beauty.”
"Then how do I compare to that b * tch called Bi Huan?”
Yuqi shook his head." You're you, and she's her. The two of you can't be compared."”
"Then…how about this?" But as she spoke, she reached out and unbuttoned her clothes, instantly revealing her beautiful and exquisite figure. "Am I the prettiest or is she the prettiest?”
Yuqi reached out and pulled her open shirt over to cover her body." Keqing, you're a good girl. You deserve a better man to dote on you. Don't…"
Ke Qing shook her head and took off her clothes. She threw him onto the couch at the side and planted countless kisses on Yuqi's face and body." Fifth Brother, love me, okay?" I like you. If you like a slut, then for you, I'm willing to turn myself into a slut. I only beg you to love me. Fifth Brother, please, please!”
To be honest, apart from Su Panpan, Yuqi had no interest in women. He was even lazy to get close to them, so he naturally had no way to understand what women were thinking. He also did not know that women were sometimes more ruthless than men when they played tricks.
For example, Keqing, Yuqi had always treated her as a younger sister. Since she was a younger sister, how could he have expected her to throw herself into his arms like this?
Therefore, Yuqi only thought about how to help her put on her clothes and how to get rid of her. After all, she was the Empress Dowager's handmaiden. If word got out, he would have no choice but to marry her!
But at this moment, Su Panpan's voice rang out," Your Highness, are you here? Eunuch Xu is here!"
When Yuqi heard this, he wanted to push Ke Qing away, but Ke Qing seemed to be deliberately going against Yuqi. Not only did she strip herself naked, but she also started to pull Yuqi's clothes. So when Su Panpan and Eunuch Xu pushed the door open and came in, they saw Ke Qing naked, naked, and rolling on the Luohan couch with the disheveled Yuqi.
Su Panpan stared at everything in front of her in disbelief." Your Highness, you…"
Not only was Su Panpan surprised, even Eunuch Xu, who had come under the imperial edict, was extremely surprised." Your Highness, you…"
Yuqi turned around and immediately knew that he had been tricked by Keqing!# specific
