Chapter 17 Farewell Dance

Zhang Yun's murder of Prince Wang caused a stir in the city.

Naturally, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs would not give up easily. He wanted to kill his son with sworn hatred, so he found the second prince Minglong and asked him to make the decision for him.

Minglong, who single-handedly promoted the other party to the top, would not sit idly by and watch. Moreover, the Ministry of Justice was the Prince's Ministry of Justice, so he took this opportunity to suppress the prince.

"Zhang Yun, haha, I didn't expect this person to be so stupid. He killed the son of the Minister of Libu in order to get jealous. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will definitely not sit back and watch what happens to his son. As long as he takes action, we will have a chance."

Minglong smiled.

He said to Xiao Que beside him: "You have had a relationship with Zhang Yun. This time something big happened to him. Do you want to help him?"

"Your Highness is joking. I approached him just to use him as an excuse to come to the capital and to inquire about the prince's information. In this way, he gave us the opportunity to attack the prince. I was too late to be happy, so how could I help him.

"

Xiao Que said calmly.

Minglong heard this and smiled with satisfaction.

soon.

Zhang Yun was imprisoned and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

And he killed the prince in Qunfang Pavilion in public. Many people saw this, and there was almost no possibility of overturning the verdict.

Everyone felt that he was bound to die.

Unexpectedly, in order to save his son, the Minister of Punishment actually used his power for personal gain. He wanted to use a civet cat to exchange for the prince and get his son out of prison. However, he was caught red-handed by the people led by the Minister of Libu.

From then on, even the Minister of Punishment himself was unable to protect himself and was imprisoned.

The post of Minister of Punishment was also vacant.

Minglong and the prince both strongly recommended their own people to the position.

Unfortunately, Ming Zhengyuan did not adopt their suggestions, but instead appointed someone who was neither a princeling nor a second princeling.

The prince and Minglong were both disappointed with this.

But Minglong was in a better mood than the prince.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, the prince has lost the household department and the punishment department one after another, and his power has been greatly reduced, but the three departments in his hands are still there.

On the surface, he has a huge advantage.

"But we can't take it lightly. Behind the prince, there is a prime minister and a Wenjiabao..." Minglong thought to himself.

Then he called Xiao Que, "Go and ask someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the house of the new Minister of Punishment, Lu Yuan, for me."

Although this Lu Yuan is not his, but now that the other party has become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, if he can win over him, that would be great.

Inside Qunfang Pavilion.

Ming Yun was drinking with Wen Changfeng and another young man.

"Brother Lu, congratulations on becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

Wen Changfeng smiled slightly.

This young man is none other than the new Minister of Justice, Lu Yuan.

No one knew that he was actually the son of the Fourth Prince Mingyun.

"My promotion this time is all due to His Highness's strategic planning. From now on, I will be Your Highness. I will fight to the death."

Lu Yuan raised his glass and immediately expressed his stance.

"Lu Shangshu's words are serious."

Ming Yun also raised his glass and toasted with a glass of wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Yuan went back first. After all, he was the new Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He was busy with affairs and had many people to socialize with.

Only Ming Yun and Wen Changfeng were left in the Accord.

"Brother Wen, this time Lu Yuan takes over, you have done a great job, I will toast you." Ming Yun raised his glass and smiled.

Whether it was Lu Yuan's rise to power this time or the last time the Minister of Revenue was imprisoned, Wen Changfeng was there to help.

Ming Yun was very lucky that he was able to recruit such a helper.

"Since I have decided to assist His Highness, these are my duties. You don't have to be polite, Your Highness." Wen Changfeng said with a smile.

Then, he looked at the peony dancing on the dance floor below and smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, this Peony girl is also indispensable for being able to dismantle the Minister of Punishment this time. If Zhang Yunse hadn't been obsessed with it, she wouldn't have been like this."

"Oh, the oiran of Qunfang Pavilion is certainly very charming."

"yes……"

Wen Changfeng looked at Mudan, his eyes gradually showing possessiveness, "I heard that this girl Mudan has always been a showbiz in Qunfang Pavilion, and she is very dignified."

"Well, all the courtesans in Qunfang Pavilion are like this."

Ming Yun noticed Wen Changfeng's desire for Peony, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "If Brother Wen likes it, I can ask Xu Fang to send it to your house. Being able to serve Brother Wen is considered a blessing to her."

It’s divided.”

"Since it is His Highness's kind intention, I would like to express it disrespectfully."

Wen Changfeng's eyes lit up.

…………

"What? Giving peonies to Wen Changfeng? This won't work!"

After hearing Ming Yun's decision, Sister Fang's expression changed.

But Ming Yun had made up his mind, "Wen Changfeng has helped me many times and has made great contributions. If I don't say anything, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied."

"Your Highness wants to express himself, you can use something else."

"How can he be satisfied with ordinary things? In short, I have made up my mind. Mudan is just a woman in the world, and sooner or later she will be like this. Xu Fang, you have protected them for long enough, now it's time to let go."

Ming Yun glanced at Sister Fang with a warning in her eyes.

The last time he poisoned Ming Buyan, this time he gave the peonies to Wen Changfeng. Sister Fang questioned him again and again, which made him very dissatisfied.

Sister Fang's heart skipped a beat and she was speechless.

It wasn't Mingyun she was afraid of.

It's the person behind Mingyun, her master, the leader of the Holy Fire Sect.

Helpless, she had to find peony.

When she heard that she was about to be given to Wen Changfeng, Mudan's face suddenly turned pale, and she wanted to refuse.

But after seeing the sad face of Sister Fang, I also knew that even Sister Fang could not make the decision in this matter. She was stunned in place for a while, feeling sad in her heart.

"Walk!"

At this time, Sister Fang gritted her teeth and said, "Wen Changfeng is a sinister and sinister person, and he is not a good man. Mu Dan, please pack your things and leave Qunfang Pavilion."

She still couldn't bear to push Peony into the fire pit.

After hearing this, Mudan did not leave, but said helplessly: "If I leave, what will you do, Sister Fang? Although I don't know who you are working for, Sister Fang, but it should be some big shot that you can't compete with."

Well, if I leave, you will definitely be punished. I have been lonely since I was a child. It was Sister Fang who brought me back and taught me my skills, so I have been able to have such a prosperous few years."

"How can I trap you in the quagmire now just for my own selfishness?"

"I am a person born in the world. I am not nobler than anyone else. Sooner or later I have to devote myself to others. If I can help you through this, it will be considered as my repayment of the kindness I have received over the years."

"Please allow me to say goodbye to His Highness before I leave."

Peony bowed, stood up and left.

Sister Fang looked at her back and murmured: "I'm sorry..."

Arriving at the Yage, looking at Ming Wuyan pillowed on Yue Ji's thigh, Peony straightened her appearance and walked in with a forced smile.

But no matter how hard she pretended, she still sensed something was wrong.

"Sister Peony, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Your Highness. Mudan has recently learned a new dance and I want to show it to Your Highness." Mudan said with a smile.

"Oh, really? Then I have to take a good look."

Peony came to the dance floor and started dancing.

As he stepped forward, his clothes were flying, his long sleeves were like clouds, and his swaying figure was like a fallen leaf, floating in the wind, as if it might be blown away by the wind at any time.

The dance was beautiful, but it had a hint of desolation and melancholy. When everyone watched this dance, they were unconsciously aroused and felt a little inexplicably sad.

"What kind of dance is this?"

Mingwuyan was a little curious.

Next to her, Rose looked at Peony blankly, "This is... a farewell dance."
