In the East Yue Kingdom, men and women are guarded from the age of nine. After the age of nine, men and women are not allowed to sit at the same table or lie on the same bed. If a matchmaker is hired, they can run away (elope) without a matchmaker. Although Xiao Lingyao and Qin Feng have the reputation of being bridal chambers,

But actual contact is pitiful.

Xiao Lingyao's fingers were hooked by Qin Feng, and their thumbs were clasped together. Even though she was more relaxed than ordinary girls, she still felt that their movements were weird. The breath between the man's fingers was not like Bai Qian's, and there was an inexplicable sense of plunder.

.

Although the two were married, they were a fake couple after all. Her cheeks turned red, and she quickly moved away after "stamping" and looked at him coquettishly: "What kind of trick is this?"

The Dongyue Kingdom actually did not have the method of hanging a seal with a hook. Qin Feng said generously: "Use your thumb as a seal. If the thumbs of two people touch each other, it will be a seal, which means that the contract between the minister and His Highness has been reached."

Nonsense, these four words flashed through Xiao Lingyao's heart, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly: "What contract?"

"For as long as the two parties are husband and wife, even if there is no conjugal love, they should support and support each other, and even protect each other, and never do anything that goes against each other's interests or harms each other. This matter is not supported by words, and it is even more invalid by establishing written evidence. It can only be based on the heart

But for."

"So you don't need to write it clearly in black and white. I and Your Highness know it clearly. How about showing it through actions in the future?"

Everything that happened today was beyond Xiao Lingyao's expectations.

Qin Feng rejected Xiao Lingzhao's good intentions, and his declarations were false but not true, and the prince was involved in a corruption case but was only banned for three months. His father clearly hated the Chen family and even disliked the prince and queen, but he still wanted to protect him.

them.

But these were not as shocking as Qin Feng's shock to her at this time. He was honest with her and put her concerns in the light. He wanted them to trust each other and truly become accomplices.

"Did you just say that what I have to deal with is the queen and the prince, or even..."

"Even the Marquis of Zhenbei." Qin Feng said: "Although I don't know the inside story, the queen is not the princess's biological mother. Who knows where the princess's biological mother is?"

"Life or death is unknown." Xiao Lingyao said: "But even if she is alive, the father will not let her ascend to the position of queen. At most, she will be his beloved concubine. The Chen family behind the queen is quite influential in the court.

."

"The Chen family was an important helper for my father to seize the throne. Since the name was changed to Yuan, their influence in the court has been deeply rooted. To tell you the truth, just today, I thought I would have an opportunity to severely attack the prince for being involved in corruption and affluence...

…”

Xiao Lingyao told Qin Feng everything about the Bingzhou corruption case, including the role Zuo Pingdao played in it.

Qin Feng recalled that he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs early this morning and happened to see Zuo Pingdao and the Minister of Punishment leaving the palace. The two people entered the palace overnight. It turned out that they had discussed and prepared to put down their business and leave the matter to Emperor Yuan to handle it, so as not to involve them.

.

The bullshit request for a joint trial by the three agencies was just an excuse to use Emperor Yuan's hand to handle the case. As expected, Emperor Yuan took the opportunity to "punish" Xiao Lingzhao, without going through the process of a joint trial by the three agencies, and closed the door and settled the matter.

Zuo Pingdao, Zuo Pingdao, this man is really a genius. Guo Shitong repeatedly emphasized to him how Bai Lianzhou cannot be trusted. This Zuo Pingdao is the most cunning one. He knows that this case is difficult, so it is better to hand it over as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Punishment is also a thief and doesn't want to take over. The Crown Prince's matter is too hot to handle. As soon as the two old foxes met, they reached an agreement to go to the palace to meet the Holy One. They deliberately called for the three judges to interrogate. Wouldn't this matter be resolved? Even if the Crown Prince was dissatisfied, the matter would escalate to the Emperor.

There, he could only be convinced.

Thinking of the two old foxes in official circles who were flawless when they met Zuo Pingdao in the morning, Qin Feng secretly admired them. They had solved the problem overnight and must have been cleaning up for Emperor Yuan now.

Qin Feng's eyelids jumped several times. He stretched out his hand to hold it down, and suddenly thought of another thing: "Has the princess advised the Holy One to deal with it justly?"

Xiao Lingyao's face darkened slightly, and he shook his head slightly. Qin Feng paused, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "My relatives hold great power, and the Holy Father knows it. It's just that the time has not come yet. It would be good to have someone hand me a pillow when I fall asleep, but this time there are not enough pillows.

grid."

"I did have the urge to persuade, but I endured it."

Xiao Lingyao didn't realize that she had changed her title again, and her conversation with Qin Feng was much calmer. Both of them hid their sharp edges. After "sealing", their relationship suddenly became closer, and now they feel somewhat candid and similar.

Qin Feng took a closer look and realized that Emperor Yuan wanted to change the system of grand masters to the system of left and right prime ministers, and in the end it was actually his relatives who were targeted.

It is impossible to say that Emperor Yuan did not want to use this incident to deal with the queen family. Unfortunately, this incident cannot be said to be deposed. In this dynasty, it is nothing for the superior to accept a little favor from the subordinates. If he opened a business, he would not be filial.

Are there many supervisory departments?

In modern times, Qin Feng also studied ancient history and knew that the exclusive power of foreign relatives has existed since ancient times. The relatives of the women in the emperor's harem can all be called foreign relatives. Famous foreign relatives in history include Yang Guozhong, the eldest brother of Concubine Yang of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.

His wife's brother Dou Ying.

The uncle of the country, the father-in-law of the country, etc. are all relatives!

The exclusive power of relatives was common in ancient times, and all dynasties and generations took precautions against it. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty simply removed the mother and left the son in order to prevent the relatives.

After the beloved Madam Gou Yi gave birth to her son, she was killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, the foreign relatives and the emperor have different surnames. Even blood relatives of the same clan and the same clan can turn against each other. How could the emperor trust a person with a foreign surname? In this world, people with the surname Xiao have a lot of soldiers and have deep relationships with officials.

What's wrong with your own camp?

"It's not that it's not late, the time has not come yet." Qin Feng murmured: "Princess did a great job today. If you give me advice, Your Majesty will notice your intentions. But after all these years, Your Majesty has never doubted your relationship with the Queen?"

"The queen and I are both good at acting. At least we never blushed openly. There must have been those confrontations secretly. The queen once wanted to kill me, but she stopped after knowing that I had the amulet given by my father.

"

"When selecting the consort, she bribed people in my palace to give me a killer drug," Xiao Lingyao sneered, "But the little palace maid was killed by Cao Jing. I was attacked everywhere in the palace, so I feel much more comfortable outside the palace."

Already."

Qin Feng choked. The queen gave the princess a killer medicine. It was so damn good that the princess couldn't give birth to a child. It would become a joke. This was to make Xiao Lingyao's life worse than death. If he was a real prince-in-law, then

Will the Prince Consort be happy?

In this patriarchal era, a princess will be rejected even if she cannot give birth to a child. Even if she is afraid of the imperial power and dares not to divorce the princess or take a concubine, she will not look good to the princess. If the princess is not strong enough

, even if it’s a failure in this life.
