West Hall Dungeon.
After a while.
A woman in a long dress with phoenix patterns walked up to Yu Lingchen.
Her features were like a painting, and her temperament was as cold as snow. She was like an icy beauty who had walked out of a painting.
It was the eldest princess of the Great Xia Empire, Xiao Lingqiu.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Yu Lingchen gave a curtsy.
"You…"
Xiao Lingqiu stared at Yu Lingchen and was lost in thought for two seconds before she said faintly,"It's a pity that you're a eunuch with your appearance.”
"Your Highness, looks are just skin and skin.”
Yu Lingchen said.
Xiao Lingqiu cleared her throat and resumed her cold demeanor."Where is the wanted criminal, Feng Yu?"
"Dead." Yu Lingchen said.
"Dead?"
Xiao Lingqiu's eyes widened.”
"I was strangled to death."
"However, the official statement is that he committed suicide to avoid punishment." Yu Lingchen said.”
Xiao Lingqiu was shocked for two seconds before she said coldly,"You, you eunuch, how dare you! How dare you bypass the three judicial divisions and execute the criminals without authorization!”
"Alright, Your Highness, there's no one else here. Let's get straight to the point.”
Yu Lingchen yawned lazily,""Feng Yu is the First Prince's subordinate. I know about this, you know about it, and the Emperor also knows about it.”
"His Highness should know better than anyone where the 300 million silver he embezzled went.”
"Since His Majesty sent you to the dungeon to interrogate Feng Yu at night, it means that he is willing to give you a chance on account of the relationship between father and daughter.”
"So, Feng Yu must die tonight! If he didn't die and confessed all the evidence, then even if the Emperor came out, it would be hard to clean up.”
Yu Lingchen's eyes were as sharp as an arrow,""As for me, I only helped Your Highness to make a move in advance. You should thank me, right?”
"Hmph, you little eunuch, you actually have such knowledge.”
Xiao Lingqiu pursed her lips.”
"My Factory Master is unwell and has been in seclusion for the past few months. He doesn't know about this.”
"So, this is my own idea.”
Yu Lingchen said calmly.
"Ke ke, tell me, what benefits do you want from bengong?”Xiao Lingqiu glanced at him.
"I want a promise from the Great Hall."
"What promise?"
"If you ascend to the throne in the future, you must treat the people of the West Hall kindly. In the past, when we were working for the Emperor, if we offended you in any way, please write it off!”
Yu Lingchen said.
Jiang Danian had asked him to do this.
Personally, he didn't think it was necessary. He didn't trust anyone.
He had no choice.
Jiang Danian was loyal to the Xia Emperor, unlike Liu Jin of the East Chamber who knew how to adapt to the situation.
Therefore, in the past few years, the West Military Bureau had offended the First Prince's henchmen in many ways.
The eldest princess was famous for her ruthlessness. If she were to settle accounts in the future, the thousands of people in the West Hall would probably face a catastrophe.
He did this mainly to return Jiang Danian a favor.
He didn't mind.
With the system and the Supreme Martial Spirit, he might have become a Martial Saint by the time she ascended the throne. Who could do anything to him?
"Good! I promise you!"
"Did Feng Yu say anything before she died?" Xiao Lingqiu asked coldly.”
"Even if he said something, I'll pretend he didn't say anything, right?" Yu Lingchen smiled.”
"Sure."
"You little eunuch, you are quite interesting.”
Xiao Lingqiu walked to the door and suddenly turned around. Her eyes revealed a dense killing intent."However, this prince will also give you a reminder. Sometimes, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing!”
"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness." Yu Lingchen looked calm.
After Xiao Lingqiu left, it was already the fourth watch.
Yu Lingchen meditated for a while.
When dawn broke.
Only then did he come to the forbidden room where Jiang Danian was in seclusion to report the situation.
"Eunuch, are you awake?"
"Everything has been settled. Just as we expected, the emperor is still willing to give the eldest princess a chance.”
Yu Lingchen said.
"Your Majesty, there's nothing we can do about this.”
Jiang Danian's sigh came from inside.""The Emperor has four princesses. The Second Prince is rash and can lead troops but is not good at governing the country. The Third Princess is too weak. The Fourth Princess, cough cough. In short, if there is a second Empress in the Xia Dynasty, it can only be the Eldest Princess!”
Yu Lingchen did not reply.
To be honest, if he were Emperor Xia, he would definitely nurture the Fourth Princess, Xiao Youwei!
Although this girl was innocent and naive, her aptitude in all aspects was really high. With a little guidance, she would definitely become great.
"Child, you're already extremely intelligent. Now that you've obtained the Sunflower Manual, you're both civil and martial!”
"In this life, you are destined to be a dragon among men. In the end, our West Hall will not be able to keep you.”
"Tell Eunuch Gong, what are your plans now?”
Jiang Danian asked.
Just as he finished speaking.
Outside the courtyard, the voice of the imperial eunuch, Chen Defu, could be heard."
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
"West Hall, Yu Lingchen, receive the decree!"
————
After he entered the palace, he did all kinds of tricks and acted pretentious! An absolute harem!
The emperor had only started cultivating the forbidden art fifteen years ago after he had given birth to his last daughter, Xiao Youwei, with the Bright Moon Empress.
