Chapter 238: Failed to File a Complaint but Lost Everything

Zhenbei Wang knelt on the ground for a long time before slowly standing up, his face gloomy, obviously he was extremely angry.

He looked up at Qi Ling, his eyes were gloomy and full of disgust, just like the eyes that had not changed for more than ten years, which Qi Ling was familiar with and could face calmly.

"Father, don't look at me like this." Qi Ling smiled faintly, "Father and elder brother came to file the complaint together. It was father who committed the deception of the emperor. As the son of a king, he has no ability to rely on himself. It is elder brother who is a fool and incompetent. Even if father uses his eyes to expose me, it can't change these facts."

"That's right." Hongyu raised his hand and scratched his head, "As the son of a general, if you get beaten, you can get it back. If you have the ability, you can get it back yourself. It's not like a man to file a complaint like a child. There is no grace at all."

Now it's good, the complaint failed and even the title of king can't be inherited. It's what I deserve.

Wen Zhan coughed lightly: "Recently, Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to be blessed by the gods. All those who go against the Princess have no good end. The lessons of the past are vivid in our minds, but some people are ignorant of life and death and insist on being stupid... Tsk, there is no excuse for people to sympathize with them."

The ministers standing by were shocked when they heard this.

That's right.

Since Her Royal Highness the Princess divorced Feng Jinzhi, it was like a blessing from heaven that enveloped her in the halo of the gods. Anyone who offended her would die, and those who followed her would live smoothly and be extremely comfortable.

Several people thought to themselves that they had to follow the Princess in the future. They would rather offend the Emperor than offend Chu Qinghuang, otherwise they would die without knowing how.

Shen Chongjin turned around and looked at Hongyu and the others: "Her Royal Highness's birthday is coming soon. Have you prepared gifts for her?"

"Birthday?" Hongyu slapped his head, as if he suddenly remembered, "I forgot about it completely. Look at my brain. I've been busy competing for favor recently and ignored the most important things."

"There are still a few days. You can think about it after you go back." Wen Zhan said leisurely, "I think the best gift I can give to your Highness is to get the first place in the autumn examination."

Her Royal Highness's birthday?

Minister Wen and Censor Shen looked at each other, and as they turned around and left, they were thinking about this matter in their hearts.

Their sons are all serving in the Royal Highness's Mansion, so they shouldn't need to worry about this matter. Wen Zhan and Shen Chongjin should serve Her Royal Highness well.

However, as the two looked at each other, a frightening thought emerged in their hearts.

Chu Qinghuang's words to Qi Yun just now came to his mind word by word: "As long as you can beat Qi Ling in martial arts, Wen Zhan in knowledge, Hong Yu in chess, calligraphy and painting, and Shen Zhongjin in arithmetic..."

So, the princess' backyard is really full of hidden talents.

Minister Wen thought of the conditions that Chu Qinghuang had discussed with him. Wen Zhan wanted to take the imperial examination to enter the government, and now Qi Ling was arranged to be in the military camp to take charge of the Silver Armor Army, and she herself had three thousand imperial guards in her hands... What is the princess trying to do?

He thought a little uneasily, the princess would not have someone to support, and the layout she is making now seems to be to support someone to take the throne.

Wen Xingyun was originally an official who supported Concubine Duan and the Fifth Prince. He thought Chu Qinghuang should naturally support his mother and the Fifth Prince. However, since Chu Qinghuang personally led people to raid the Ling family, Wen Xingyun could not understand her actions. He could only act more cautiously in the court and dared not approach the eldest princess easily, for fear that she would catch him and put him to death one day.

If it were not for the fact that the emperor summoned her five servants to the palace today, and his son was one of the five servants, he would still stay away from Chu Qinghuang, avoid her if possible, and never take the initiative to approach her to provoke her.

Look at the father and son of the Zhenbei King, aren't they ready-made examples?

Originally, Chu Tianyin killed his own concubine Qi, and the emperor felt a little guilty about them, but now this guilt has been made by them, and they have also caused the emperor's dissatisfaction for no reason. Even the hereditary title of king and marquis can't be kept. It's hard to say whether Qi Yun can leave the imperial city safely.

"Qi Ling." The King of Zhenbei spoke coldly, his tone was firm and unyielding, "Take time to go to the General's Mansion tomorrow, your father has something to tell you."

"I'm afraid that's not possible." Hongyu shook his head, "The rules of the Princess' Mansion are strict, and His Highness must not allow him to go. If he dares to meet outsiders at will, His Highness will break his legs."

Qi Ling was somewhat helpless: "Father heard it, I have to ask His Highness for permission first."

"His Highness will not agree." Wen Zhan said indifferently, "Her Highness the Princess is in a bad mood today, and she will not be in a good mood for the next three days. If you dare to provoke His Highness, be careful that His Highness will strip you of your clothes, tie you to a tree and whip you."

Shen Zhongjin said: "Maybe the whip has to be dipped in salt water."

"Maybe a whip with barbs will be used, and a whip will leave a blood mark, deep enough to see the bone." Hongyu said, and couldn't help shuddering, "It hurts to think about it."

Qi Ling turned his head and frowned, "Shut up."

The King of Zhenbei's face was ashen, and he left coldly.
