Ke Wanning showed her ugly and vicious side in front of the person she liked, and even her father and brother were pinched by King Ling, and her heart is now ashamed and hateful.

Now that I see Xi Li'er, the initiator, I can't wait to peel her and cramp.

"Let you instigate me!"

"Bad idea for you!"

"It caused me to lose face in front of him today!"

"Slut!"

"The daughter of Xian Ma is full of heart and eyes!"

"See if I don't kill you!"

In the middle of the courtyard, the whip rained down.

Xi Li'er was stripped of her coat, her whole person was tied to the bench and couldn't move, and even her mouth was stuffed into a large ball of cloth.

In just a moment, her back and buttocks were covered in blood.

However, Ke Wanning still kept whipping Xi Li'er, like a madman.

The whimpering sound in Xi Li'er's throat dissipated into the dark night sky with the sound of the whip whipping the flesh.

"Stop!"

Ke Jingfeng grabbed Ke Wanning's hand, and in the end, the whip did not fall on Xi Li'er's body.

"Father?"

Ke Wanning saw Ke Jingfeng, and her hideous face returned to normal.

The whip was thrown to the ground by Ke Jingfeng.

He glanced at Xi Li'er, who was open to flesh, and turned his head to Ke Wanning and whispered:

"If this little girl is killed by you, the prince will definitely hold a grudge. Quickly send her back to Xifu, and today she will be treated as if she has never been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she is a smart person, she will not say today's events. ”

Ke Wanning nodded, and asked Xi Li'er, who was already in a semi-coma, to be carried out.

After a stick of incense, Xi Li'er was thrown at the door of Xi's mansion like a dead corpse.

As the night deepened, I fell asleep when I returned to the inn.

The faint candle flame in the inn flickered gently.

Qin Dai sat beside him, reaching out to trace his eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose above his cheek, her gaze gentle and determined.

"Your Highness the Seventh, we are going to leave here after all, don't blame me."

At noon the next day, Wen Renzhuo woke up from the bump.

He rubbed the back of his head and sat up in a daze.

"Where is this?"

However, no one responded to him.

He looked around, as if he were in a carriage.

No, how could he be in the carriage?

"Jean Dai! Jean Dai! ”

Qin Dai, who was driving desperately, didn't pay attention to the shouts of the people at all, and only drove by herself.

She hoped that as long as she ran fast enough, Wen Renzhuo would not have a chance to go back.

"Jean Dai! I order you to stop as Your Highness the Seven! Otherwise, I'll jump out of the car! If I die, the queen mother and you will be at ease! ”

Hearing that Wen Ren was forced to die, Qin Dai had no choice but to pull the reins.

The reins were rough, and she pulled so hard that she grinded out two bloody marks on her palms.

Qin Dai didn't care about the pain of the wound, jumped out of the carriage, and opened the door of the carriage.

Wen Renzhuo jumped down the moment he opened the door.

He looked at Qin Dai angrily, and his cheeks showed signs of clenching his back molars.

"Why are you doing that?"

"His Royal Highness the Seventh promised Qin Dai, but when I saw her last face, I left the capital with me, isn't His Highness the Seventh ready to leave the capital?"

Qin Dai's voice trembled slightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was sad or angry.

Wen Renzhuo suddenly remembered what he had said to Qin Dai, and his anger turned into apology in an instant.

"Qin Dai, you have followed me since you were a child, and I have long regarded you as a confidant and friend. This time, I didn't keep my word, and I didn't compensate you. ”

"Confidant? Friends? ”

Qin Dai lowered her eyelids, and the feeling of heartache was more intense than the pain in her palm.

"I have promised King Ling to take good care of Zhan Xinglan, I can't leave like this, if you don't want to stay in the capital anymore, go back to Dunli."

After hearing this, he turned and left.

Qin Dai didn't understand that she had been by Wen Renzhuo's side for more than ten years, but she couldn't compare to Zhan Xinglan who had known each other for just a few days.

She stepped into the carriage and grabbed the reins.

Without hesitation, turn the horse's head.

Even if Wen Renzhuo has never liked her, she must not let Wen Renzhuo fall in love with a Central Plains woman.

"Your Highness the Seventh, your subordinates are arrogant, you shouldn't take you out of the capital without permission, and your subordinates will escort Your Highness Seven back to the capital."

Wen Renzhuo turned his head to look at her and sighed.

He knew that she would always follow him, and he didn't like it, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Winter has arrived, and heavy snow is falling.

Zhan Xinglan held the stove and looked out the window at the silver flowers.

She sighed, a slight sadness between her eyebrows.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I don't know if the Sang Party will miss her.

In the past, every Chinese New Year's Eve, she would be in her villa with Sang Wan until dawn, thinking about how beautiful the time was.

Sang Wan is her only friend, and she has been a proper daughter since she was born.

But Sang Wan's father has been busy with work and has no time to take care of Sang Wan, so this daughter is somewhat rebellious.

They met when they were teenagers, studied together, skipped classes together, and dealt with Sang Wan's stepmother together......

Cheng Xing'er's best youth was with Sang Wan.

Today, those good things are gone.

Just as she was indulging in her reminiscences, the door creaked open.

A cold wind blew in with snow and ice.

"It's so cold outside."

Qiu Chuyan followed Zhu Huan into the inner room and patted the snow on his body.

"Chu Yan? It's freezing and snowy outside, why are you here? Take this warm. ”

Zhan Xinglan hurriedly handed the stove in his hand to Qiu Chuyan.

"You stand up for me, and you are so seriously injured, even if you have a knife outside, I will come to accompany you."

"Don't talk about this between you and me, sit down. Zhu Huan, give Qiu Niangzi a hot pot of tea. ”

"Yes, two ladies later."

Takehuan smiled and exited the door, making tea in the private room.

"It's snowy today, you should go home early, in case you run into Yuan Mingzhe's plague god, it won't be good."

Zhan Xinglan pulled Qiu Chuyan to sit down, and stretched out his hand to brush away the snowflakes above Qiu Chuyan's head.

"Yuan Mingzhe was twisted off his arms by you, and he is still cultivating in the mansion. Listening to my aunt, Uncle Zhan also sent someone to arrest those troublemakers and throw them into Yuan's mansion, Yuan Zhan learned about the cause and effect, and was so angry that he beat Yuan Mingzhe. ”

"Hahaha."

Zhan Xinglan couldn't stop laughing, and her back hurt.

"He deserves it, who let him come to the door to provoke."

"However, my aunt said that on the night of the second day when you were rescued by His Royal Highness King Ling, the Yuan Mansion entered the thief, and slipped into Yuan Mingzhe's room and beat him again, almost losing half of your life."

"Presumably he has done too many evils and made a lot of enemies."

Zhan Xinglan was full of justice, and she was relieved when she thought of Yuan Mingzhe's current decline.

"By the way, my father said that His Majesty was worried about the disaster in Hebei Province, and he specially decreed that no palace banquet would be held this year. If you're feeling better on New Year's Eve, let's go set off fireworks. ”

"Okay."

The two of them held hands and rejoiced.

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, fireworks are something that can make girls smile like flowers.

Just when the two were discussing what dress to wear better on New Year's Eve, Zhu Huan walked in with tea.

"Two ladies, Grandpa Fang sent someone to pay homage. His Majesty decreed that all the eunuchs who had reached the age of fifteen in Beijing should go to the Shunhuajian Women's School within two days after the Shangyuan Festival. ”

Zhan Xinglan and Qiu Chuyan looked at Zhu Huan and said in unison:

"What? Girls' Academy? ”

Zhan Xinglan's heart was very broken, and he even had to go to school even after wearing books, which was simply inhumane.

What she didn't know was that Fu Xuanlin personally suggested this idea to Emperor Jing.

An hour ago, Hanyuan Palace.

"Your Majesty, it is snowing in Hebei Province, and the people are freezing to death and starving to death. The minister thought that the disaster relief should not be delayed, and King Zhuang and King Ling should set off as soon as possible, and it is not easy to delay. ”

King Qi stood in the center of the hall, his words were sincere and upright.

I didn't know and thought he was going to help the disaster.

"The heavy snow in the capital closes the road, and the road is difficult, if you go on the road at this time, I am afraid that it will be half the effort."

Ke Jingfeng said something to stop him, but he confused Zhan Bofeng.

This old thing should wish that something happened to King Zhuang and King Ling on the road, why did human words come out of the dog's mouth at this time?

Emperor Jing naturally looked at King Qi's mind like a fire.

Although he had always practiced the art of checks and balances, he was deeply disappointed by the stupidity and self-righteousness of King Qi.

Ke Xiang is reasonable. The disaster relief has been postponed, and the relief grain has been transported to Hebei Province first, and it is not too late for King Zhuang and King Ling to wait for a few days. ”

Ke Xiang immediately agreed, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Subsequently, Fu Xuanlin stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister recently carefully checked the details of the disaster situation in Hebei Province since the sixth year of Yuan Zhao, and found that Bocang and the two prefectures were the most serious. These two states have also been reduced from the richest military granaries in Hebei Province to places where natural disasters are rampant, and most of the fertile land has been destroyed. The people were so hungry that they had to leave their homes and go south to survive. Chen Dou boldly proposed that the two states should be exempted from the rent adjustment for two years, and the rent adjustment would be carried out after the acres of land were restored. ”

His remarks drew whispers from civil and military officials.

Most people shook their heads again and again, not very much in agreement.

"Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate, if this precedent is set, I am afraid that the people of other states and counties will be dissatisfied."

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Ling has just entered the court, and many things are still not considered enough."

"Waiver of rent is only a symptom but not a cure."

There are different opinions below, and even more so there are words in the words.

A large part of them are the prince's people, and now that King Ling is rising, he naturally has to suppress more.

Zhan Bofeng glanced at them and immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Ling's proposal is acceptable. Hebei Province has been plagued by disasters for many years, and the people are already miserable, and the exemption of rent can appease the people's hearts and demonstrate the benevolence of the Son of Heaven. ”

Emperor Jing glanced at everyone, and a heavy voice sounded in the main hall, and the voice below immediately stopped abruptly.

"Ming Guogong's words are reasonable, so according to King Ling's words, he will temporarily exempt Bocang from the two states of rent. However, the two-year period is not too long, and it is limited to one year, which can be extended if it is effective. This method is not a long-term solution, and the secretaries also need to think carefully about how to cure the root cause. ”

The civil and military officials immediately echoed in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

"I'm tired, so if you have nothing else to do, let's step down. King Ling stayed. ”

Fu Xuanlin was surprised in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface.

"Yes."

Kou Huai shouted loudly:

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of officials left in a hurry.

King Qi and King Zhuang glanced at King Ling in unison, and then walked out of Hanyuan Hall side by side.

Only Emperor Jing and Fu Xuanlin were left in the hall.

Hanyuan Hall is majestic and solemn, and it is easier for people to feel close to Zichen Hall without having to do it.

"Lin'er, I have a tricky matter, and I want to hear your opinion."
