Chapter 959 The Master is Willful, and His Close Advisors Want to Advise
Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue gently squatted down. Xiao Jingyu reached out and, using skillful force, slowly peeled off a tile from the roof of a corner of the main room...
To ensure the two could see clearly, Xiao Jingyu followed the same method, gently moving aside an adjacent tile as well...
As soon as the first tile was lifted, light streamed into the house through the gap in the tile.
After lifting the second tile, the two of them could clearly see the scene inside the house simply by looking down.
The conversation inside the house could be clearly heard coming up!
There were four people in the house... oops! They were four beasts!
Their clothing was the same as that of the Jingyue people.
Four animals, one sitting and three standing.
One of them was bowing to the short, stocky, ugly-looking beast sitting in the upper chair.
Then it said, "...Your Highness, wouldn't it be a wasted trip for you to go there in person today?"
Were there no clues found at the bottom of that cliff?
According to my speculation, that fool Prince Yi, in order to wipe out the entire Anguo Duke's family and to abduct that cold beauty, must have sent a lot of people to Yunxiang Mountain a couple of days ago!
But the result we know is that the entire Anguo Duke's family returned to the capital safely, and that cold beauty also returned to the capital with the Anguo Duke's family.
The entire Anguo Duke's family, along with that cold beauty, have returned, but there's still no news of the person Prince Yi sent back...
So, where did all the people that Prince Yi sent go?
After that, Miss Leng stayed in the Duke of Anguo's mansion and did not appear in public.
Oh, no, Miss Leng did leave the manor before—
That time she left the manor... was because she was betrothed again and granted the title of princess, and went to the palace to express her gratitude.
As we know, after returning to the capital, she was not only decreed by the Emperor of Jingyue to marry his son Xiao Jingyu, but the Emperor of Jingyue also bestowed upon Miss Leng the honorary title of Princess Chengxian!
This young lady, who was once the "daughter of a disgraced official," is no longer the same as before!
And this Miss Leng is truly an extraordinary person!
Taking advantage of the fact that the fool Zhang Miaotong from the Second Assistant Minister's Mansion went crazy and came to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, she used his strength against him. And with her own power, as if playing a game, she first lured the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Zheng Tong, and then filed three complaints in the street!
In just a short while, she easily brought down the once powerful and influential Second Assistant Minister's Mansion, which was now in dire straits, and at the same time dealt a heavy blow to the Prince Yi's Mansion!
Our people have discovered that not only has Princess Zhang Miaoying been lost in the Prince Yi's mansion, but a concubine named Hua Yinyin has also taken the opportunity to leave the mansion...
The father of Consort Hua, who fled Prince Yi's mansion, was none other than Hua Chongjian, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!
It is said that today in the imperial court, Hua Chongjian, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and knelt down to beg Emperor Jingyue to allow him to take his daughter home, remove her name from the imperial register, and sever ties with Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi.
Emperor Jingyue actually agreed to Hua Chongjian's request on the spot!
Since that Prince Yi has already coldly divorced his principal wife, losing one more concubine is no big deal, is it?
That Vice Minister Hua was quite decisive. Without wasting a moment, he led his men directly to the door. No matter how much the Prince Yi pleaded or even knelt down to beg, he couldn't keep the concubine that the Prince had painstakingly brought back.
After picking up his daughter, Vice Minister Hua returned to his residence.
The servants from the Vice Minister's residence then carried the dowry and left the Prince Yi's residence directly!
From this day forward, the Vice Minister's residence will have absolutely no connection with the Prince Yi's residence!
All of Prince Yi's previous schemes and tactics have been wasted. He can no longer rely on holding onto his concubine Hua Yinyin to control Hua Chongjian, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!
After all this turmoil, the Prince Yi's mansion was severely weakened and temporarily unable to function properly.
The current Prince Yi is like a chicken with its wings tied, just waiting to be slaughtered!
Your Highness, please consider this: Zhang Cifu, the father-in-law of Prince Yi, was imprisoned for obstructing Emperor Jingyue from bestowing a marriage upon the beautiful Leng and Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu.
Zhang Miaotong, the daughter of the second prime minister, impulsively stormed outside the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, intending to cause trouble for the beautiful Leng. But what was the result?
The cold beauty only played around in front of the Duke of Anguo's mansion. The second young lady of the Second Assistant Minister's mansion, Zhang Miaotong, along with Zhang Miaotong's mother—the Second Assistant Minister's wife, Madam Wang, and a Princess Consort of Yi, were all convicted and imprisoned in the blink of an eye, facing certain death.
Then look at Prince Yi and his Prince Yi's mansion, who had to remain secluded and reflect on his actions before Emperor Jingyue's birthday...
Who can say that the current state of Prince Yi and his mansion has nothing to do with that cold and beautiful woman?
In my humble opinion, that cold and beautiful woman is not merely a pretty face with stunning looks!
The man suddenly stopped speaking, stealing a glance at the Crown Prince of Dongwei, who sat in the high seat with a gloomy face—his own master…
It was clear that this person had something to say, but hesitated, unsure whether to continue...
It seemed he knew that what he was about to say was not something their Crown Prince wanted to hear.
After hesitating for a moment, as if making a decision, it stiffly bowed to its master—the Crown Prince of Dongwei.
