The ninth princess knelt on the ground and looked at Chao Lingwen stubbornly, looking like he wouldn't get up if he didn't agree.

Chao Lingwen looked at the Ninth Princess with a little headache, and sighed silently in his heart.

This daughter of mine is pure and good-natured, how could she let her play with Xu Langyin, but now it's good, she is not in the same boat, and her daughter has become the biggest obstacle for her to deal with Xu Langyin and Yan Wanyun.

"Get up quickly, I promise you, let that Xu Langyin out, but in the future, you have to promise me that you will not be allowed to go to her construction site again if you have less contact with than that Xu Langyin." Chao Lingwen knew that his daughter was stubborn, and if he didn't agree, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up on his knees, no matter how much he hated Xu Langyin, he still felt more sorry for his daughter after all.

"Okay, the daughter promised her father, but the father must release Lang Yin and remove the soldiers from her construction site." When the ninth princess heard Chao Lingwen agree, she stood up carefully.

"You go back and rest, you just woke up and came to your father because of this matter, you are really." Chao Lingwen saw that the ninth princess's face was a little bad, frowned distressedly, and spoke.

"Okay, then the daughter will retire." The ninth princess made a false offer and returned to the dormitory.

Her body is indeed very weak, she has been kneeling for so long just now, the cool air on the ground has slightly invaded her body, and when she stood up, she almost fell to the ground unsteadily, but as long as Xu Langyin came out safely, it was worth it for her to do it.

Chao Ling Wen sat on the chair and watched the back of the ninth princess leaving, until the ninth princess disappeared from his sight, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to play with the small porcelain cup on the table.

Since you can't deal with Yan Wanjun and Xu Langyin openly, then come secretly, I love my daughter, but it doesn't mean that I have to bow to her Xu Langyin, as the king of a country, my footsteps must not stop because of anyone, if you want to be flawless, you must have no weakness.

Gently putting the porcelain cup back on the tray, Chao Lingwen raised his eyes, the tenderness that originally looked at the ninth princess had disappeared, and his eyes were still full of indifference and coldness.

"Yan Wanyun, we have a long way to go." The corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and Chao Lingwen said contemptuously.

Standing up and coughing lightly, there were suddenly a few more secret guards in the seemingly empty hall.

Dressed in black, murderous.

"What does the emperor command?" The Dark Guard spoke.

"A few of you, some of you went to ambush around Xu Langyin's construction site, and when you see someone coming in and out, you will follow, if you go to the store to buy materials, you will pay twice the price to buy them, and the other few will go to deal with the craftsmen Xu Langyin invited by me one by one." Chao Lingwen put his hands behind his back and commanded without emotion.

For him Chao Lingwen, as long as he can deal with the thorn in his side, why should he be sorry for a few hasty human lives.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." After saying that, the leader of the dark guards led several other secret guards to disappear into the main hall.

Chao Lingwen nodded with satisfaction, the group of secret guards he raised privately were really more reliable than those wine bags and rice bags in the court.

Pacing outside the hall, Chao Ling Wen took a deep breath.

He only needs to wait quietly for the news of the dark guard now, and he will push Yan Wanjun and Xu Langyin step by step into the abyss from which they will never recover.

Standing quietly for a while, Chao Lingwen slowly walked towards the ninth princess's dormitory, he wanted to see for himself whether his unconscious daughter had stayed in the dormitory to rest.

As soon as he walked to the door of the dormitory, Chao Lingwen heard the sound of the ninth princess and the maid arguing, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, wanting to see what was going on.

"Princess, you better have a good rest, if the emperor knows about me, I will be punished!" The maid tightly pulled the hem of the ninth princess's clothes and did not let her go to the door of the dormitory.

"Yu'er, just let me out, how can my father have time to come here, I just want to go out to see how Lang Yin is doing, and I'll be back in a while, my father won't know." The ninth princess pulled the hem of her clothes and said anxiously.

The maid was about to say something, but suddenly raised her eyes and saw Chao Lingwen with anger behind the ninth princess, she was startled, and hurriedly loosened the hem of the ninth princess's clothes, bowed her head and saluted: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

When the ninth princess saw that the maid was suddenly like this, she thought it was to scare her, and said with a light smile: "Yu'er, you still love to scare me so much, how could my father come here, he!" Father! ”

The ninth princess looked back as she spoke, and when she saw Chao Ling Wen Zhen standing behind her with an angry face, she quickly silenced herself, and stood obediently and bowed her head silently.

"I told you to stay in the dormitory and rest, what are you going to do arguing with the maid here?" Chao Lingwen stared at the Ninth Princess with sharp eyes and asked.

"I... I didn't. The ninth princess bit her lip and tried to justify.

"Hmph, I didn't tell you that from today onwards, without my permission, you wouldn't want to take half a step out of this dormitory." He turned around and walked to the door of the dormitory, and ordered: "Come on, keep the dormitory of the ninth princess, except for the maid who delivers the meal, no one else is allowed to enter, and no one inside is allowed to come out without my permission." ”

After speaking, he glanced back at the ninth princess who was still standing in place, and shook his head helplessly.

Father is like this, it's also for your own good, you don't have to blame me.

On the other side, Fu Jiu was carrying a bag of silver tickets and was ready to go out to buy some materials.

Along the way, she always felt that something was strange, as if she was being stared at, but when she looked closely, there were no unusual people on the street except for hurried pedestrians and enthusiastic hawkers.

Fu Jiu was a little confused, but then shook his head again.

I guess I've been too nervous these days and I'm hallucinating.

After settling down, Fu Jiu took a step and continued to walk towards the timber shop.

"Shopkeeper! It's still the same as it was, and it's all about it. Fu Jiu walked into a shop with a familiar car, and shouted loudly without thinking about putting the money bag directly on the counter.

"Okay, eh, why haven't you seen that girl come here these days?" The shopkeeper took the money bag and turned it upside down, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, she's been busy with other things lately, and she doesn't have time to come." Fu Jiu thought of Xu Langyin, who was locked up in the prison, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then he said perfunctorily.

"Okay, then you wait a minute, the little one will be prepared." The shopkeeper put the money bag back on the counter and prepared to go to the warehouse to count the wood.

"Wait." Suddenly, a tall man walked in from the door, and a pair of sharp eyes glanced at Fu Jiu, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"I want everything this girl wants, double the price." The man walked over to the counter and threw out two gold silk bags.

When the shopkeeper on the side heard the man's words, his eyes were straight, not to mention that the timber was already expensive, but it was already a high price, and most of the people who bought it were rich businessmen and aristocrats.

What the shopkeeper didn't know was that the backstage of the man in front of him was the emperor, not to mention that he bought all the wood in one of his shops at double the price, which was the precious wood of the entire imperial city, and he could also buy it.

"This son, everything must be said to come first and come first, I have already packed this batch of wood, you better go to other stores to have a look." Fu Jiu frowned and said in a bad language.

"Shopkeeper, do you do this business or not." The man didn't bother with the helper at all, just looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"Do it, this master, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you." People who don't do this kind of opportunity to make a fortune are fools, who still cares about you in the face of interests.

"What a money-hungry villain." Fu Jiu said indignantly.

Glancing fiercely at the expressionless man on the side, Fu Jiu picked up the money bag on the table and walked out.

But after walking out of the store, Fu Jiu was worried, the whole imperial city had the wood he wanted in this shop, and he was robbed by the man, so he could only return empty-handed, but there was not much wood in the inventory, and I was afraid that it would not last a few days.

Let's figure it out when the time comes.

Fu Jiu sighed, feeling a little dull.

Prison.

"Hey, girl, you can go out." A guard impatiently opened the door of Xu Langyin's cell and shouted.

Xu Langyin was a little strange, he had only been locked up for a few days, and how he was let out.

"Hey, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you want to go out and want to accompany the master here" The guard saw Xu Langyin sluggish and didn't move, and urged dissatisfiedly.

"May I ask this little brother, who asked me to go out." Xu Langyin approached and asked.

"Naturally, it's today, and none of the people detained here can get out without his orders." The guard mentioned the emperor and said in a slightly reverent tone.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Xu Langyin didn't want to stay longer, she didn't know what was going on outside in the few days she was away.

Although I don't know why Chao Lingwen tried his best to lock himself in and release him in a few days, it was always good that he could come out.

Out of the prison, Xu Langyin hurried to the construction site, and happened to meet Fu Jiu with a sad face at the gate of the construction site.

"Lang Yin! How did you get out! Fu Jiu looked up and saw Xu Langyin, and was a little excited for a while.

"The emperor let me out, don't talk about this, how is the construction site." Xu Langyin is obviously more concerned about the things on the construction site.

"Alas, don't say it, there is a shortage of wood in the warehouse, so I went to the timber store I used to go to buy today, but a stinky man was killed halfway, and the double price was all cut off." Fu Jiu remembered all the things in the timber shop, and said helplessly and resentfully.

"Double the price, is there such a big family in the imperial city, there must be something strange about this matter." Xu Langyin was also a little surprised, after all, this is not a small amount, and it is not something that ordinary rich and noble families can afford.

"I don't know." Fu Jiu shook his head.

"For the time being, the timber will be imported from outside the city, although it is a little more expensive, but at least it will ensure the smooth completion of the construction site." Xu Langyin thought for a while and said.

At this time, a group of guards who were out patrolling the imperial city walked by the construction site, and several of them were whispering, Xu Langyin's attention was attracted and deliberately approached to listen.

"Hey, you know, the Ninth Princess is locked up." One of the guards pushed the guard next to him and said.

"What's going on, tell me," the other guard was clearly interested.

When Xu Langyin heard that the ninth princess was confined, he was a little worried, and he wanted to listen more carefully, but the team of guards had already walked away.

The ninth princess was confined, which means that she has woken up, but why was she grounded again, is it because of herself

Xu Langyin thought with some concern.
