Chapter 111: Brothers Against Brothers

The princess is so beautiful, she shouldn't have encountered so many things, but she didn't expect that she would have to stay alone in the empty room for so long.

"Really? Prince, don't you really hate me? Listening to Cuihua's words, Meng Hongyi's eyes lit up again, she needed comfort now, even if her heart was completely complete and she had lost hope.

But she still hopes for light and redemption.

"Naturally true, princess, you are the wife of the prince Mingmei, how can the prince hate you? Princess, while the food is not cold, how much can you eat? Cuihua persuaded.

Meng Hongyi nodded, picked up the rice bowl and ate, the prince must still like her, but now she doesn't know how to face her, she must eat well and nourish her spirit.

Dress up better tomorrow and go to see the prince again, the prince will definitely change his opinion of her.

On the other side, Hua Shenyue returned to the room disappointed. She and Fu Qinglian went back to King Jing's Mansion together, and the two walked into the backyard together. Fu Qinglian suddenly said that he would not go back to his room first, and let Hua Shenyue go back to the room to rest first.

Hua Shenyue seemed to be safe on the surface, but she knew in her heart that Fu Qinglian must be going to see Meng Hongyi, she didn't pay much attention to these things before, but this time her mood was completely different.

She didn't want Fu Qinglian to do what she didn't want to see him do.

Although Hua Shenyue knew that Meng Hongyi was Fu Qinglian's wife, and she was just Fu Qinglian's personal maid, and she was also married to Lao Feng, Hua Shenyue knew that she was not qualified to be jealous.

But when she thought that Fu Qinglian was going to see Meng Hongyi, maybe she would have to spend the night in Meng Hongyi's room, Hua Shenyue was a little panicked in her heart, and she was even more sulky in her stomach.

Hua Shenyue couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she simply got up and got dressed, and walked to the yard. As soon as she sat down on the swing in the yard, Hua Shenyue heard Fu Qinglian's voice.

"What are you still doing in the yard at such a late hour?" Fu Qinglian asked, it seemed that he had been staring at her for a long time, but he hadn't shown up.

"Ah...... I couldn't sleep, so I came out to breathe. Hua Shenyue immediately stood up and said with some humility.

She was embarrassed to tell Fu Qinglian that she couldn't sleep at night because of him.

"The dew is heavy at night, go back early to rest, and if you can't sleep, you can close your eyes and recuperate." After Fu Qinglian finished speaking, he walked to his room.

Hua Shenyue stood in place, looking at Fu Qinglian's distant back, and her heart slowly became happy. It turned out that Fu Qinglian didn't stay in Meng Hongyi's room overnight, it turned out that Fu Qinglian really just went to see Meng Hongyi and went back to the room.

Hua Shenyue suddenly felt that her heart was no longer blocked, and her body was a lot lighter. Perhaps it wasn't her own doing, she smiled and strode back to her room.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jing is acting too extremely, relying on the power in his hands, not taking the emperor in his eyes, cutting first and then playing, the minister believes that this move will damage the imperial power, and I hope that the emperor will take back the power to King Jing." The servant said.

It seems that although Fu Qinglian is already very cautious, these ministers are still chasing after him.

On the second day after he returned, there were many more people who impeached him, and they all had their own set of arguments about his affairs, thinking that he had already achieved great merit and had no one in his eyes.

This is not the first time that this group of people has criticized Fu Qinglian, Fu Beixing originally wanted to turn a blind eye, but he didn't expect that today's team was so neat, which made people not only wonder if this was a collective activity.

"The minister seconded the proposal, King Jing has acted arbitrarily and alone many times, and he has seriously exceeded his authority, and I hope the emperor will not tolerate this kind of behavior." Inspector Zuo said the imperial envoy.

"The minister seconded the proposal." The Scholar of the Imperial Court said.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

……

On the morning of the second day, the court was really filled with gunsmoke, and most of the officials were reprimanding Fu Qinglian for abusing his power. Fu Qinglian stood expressionless, as if they were not impeaching him.

He stood and watched more like a play.

In fact, Fu Qinglian had already guessed that this kind of scene would be the case as soon as he came back, he was used to it, and he was mentally prepared. It would be strange when this group of people did not impeach him.

Different from Fu Qinglian's calmness, although Fu Beixing had already expected this kind of scene, he was still angry.

He remembered wanting to jump out and explain to these ministers that Fu Qinglian was loyal and did nothing more than to protect his own safety. But he also knew that no matter what he said, these ministers would not believe it at all.

Meng Zhendong and Su Yu didn't say a word, obviously asking others to make the first bird.

"Do you have anything else to do all day but to take back the power of the king?" Fu Beixing asked in a cold tone. This group of people didn't dare to do it with the money from the treasury, but Fu Qinglian dared to do it but was impeached.

"Your Majesty, respecting the king is really overstepping, the emperor can't indulge him so much, otherwise if everyone is like King Jing, it will be a big mess, Your Majesty." The scholars of the palace were sincere, and they almost burst into tears.

"The prime minister didn't say a word, but he had different opinions." Seeing that Meng Zhendong didn't speak, Fu Beixing took the initiative to ask. Although he didn't say it on the surface, in fact, he wished that Fu Beixing could take back Fu Qinglian's power.

This old fox never comes out to do things on his own, but lets these shrimp soldiers and crab generals run ahead, and he sits behind to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and really has his own set of methods.

But he is really despicable and shameless, he has done so many things, and he can still stand so calmly and indifferently in the court, and he doesn't know what he is doing.

"The old minister thinks that what the scholar of the palace has said is reasonable." Meng Zhendong said. The old fox is really an old fox, obviously he thinks like this, and he has to pull someone else's back.

"Oh? What about Guozhang? Think so too? Fu Beixing sneered, and looked at Su Yu again, wanting to know what these two people think? It wouldn't have been embarrassed a long time ago, so he deliberately didn't say a word in the court.

"The emperor is wise." Su Yu replied, and didn't say anything more.

Fu Qinglian also sneered in his heart, these two old foxes, but they don't hide it? So what about looking forward to his downfall? I'm afraid it's not that simple, although the two of them haven't said anything now, but there are many activities in their hearts.

"In that case, King Jing, what do you want to say?" Fu Beixing looked at Fu Qinglian. Since these two people had no other plans, the emperor unceremoniously handed over the power to Fu Qinglian.

"Brother Chen, I don't have anything to say." Fu Qinglian replied.

"Okay, then Jing Wang during this time, go back to the palace to rest, don't use it to go to the court or deal with the affairs of the court, stay in Jing Wang's Mansion to be an idle prince." Fu Beixing said casually.

Although the emperor has not said anything now, on the surface he has deprived the prince of his rights, in fact, it is just to let the prince stay in a safer place so that he can recuperate well, and there is no excuse for the impeachment of these ministers.

Although the emperor wanted to protect Fu Qinglian in his heart, but in the eyes of others, they only felt that Fu Beixing was suspicious of Fu Qinglian, and Fu Beixing didn't trust Fu Qinglian as much as before. However, only Fu Beixing and Fu Qinglian knew that they were just acting.

Since these people so hoped that the two of their brothers could fight each other, they put on a play in front of these ministers to make them feel that the two brothers had really turned against each other.

"Brother of the courtiers takes orders." Fu Qinglian said.

"What else? Something to start, nothing to retreat. Fu Beixing yawned, it was too tiring to deal with this group of people all day, I really didn't know when I would be able to replace all this group of people and replace some of them with someone who was handy.

After all these tumors are dealt with, the government should be much quieter.

"Your Majesty, my brother has something to report." Fu Qinglian stood up and said.

"What?" Fu Beixing rubbed his eyes, not looking at Fu Qinglian. Other officials saw that Fu Beixing's attitude towards Fu Qinglian was different from the past, and thought that Fu Beixing had finally "opened up".

This time he finally knew who was harmful to him, and it seemed that the emperor also knew that there were a lot of people in his position staring, and even the closest people couldn't trust it, so now he decided not to trust Fu Qinglian anymore.

Otherwise, how could the emperor's attitude have changed so much between before and after? After the ministers saw it, they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, thinking that everything they had done for so long had not been in vain.

"When the younger brother returned to Beijing from the west, he was assassinated outside the gate of Weinan when he passed through Weinan." Fu Qinglian said. As soon as these words came out, the court immediately fell silent.

Meng Zhendong was shocked, Fu Qinglian told this matter in the court, it wouldn't be because he found any evidence. He was still very indifferent, but this time he couldn't sit still at all.

"Oh? Is King Jing injured? Who dared to be so bold as to assassinate the imperial court? Fu Beixing's face immediately changed and asked sternly.

"The younger brother is fine, only some flesh wounds, which are not serious." Fu Qinglian replied.

"It's just that with the help of the prefect of Weinan City, the younger brother captured an assassin alive, and after interrogation, the assassin confessed who was behind him." Fu Qinglian continued.

There was silence in the court, and the officials did not expect that someone would be so bold. Although many officials impeached Fu Qinglian, they were only unaccustomed to the excessive power in his hands and wanted his life, and there were very few people.

Meng Zhendong's back was already soaked, he was in a cold sweat, he was worried that Fu Qinglian had really caught his handle, so that before Fu Qinglian could be brought down, he himself would step down.

"Who's behind this?" Fu Beixing cooperated with Fu Qinglian to act.
