"How can the people around me be bribed so easily? As for who has the opportunity to bribe the people around me, I believe that with my father's ability, he can easily find out. What I want to tell you is that I was lucky enough to escape this time, but will I be so lucky next time? If so, then the Yuling Army..." Xiang Yunjin smiled and hid the rest of his words.
"I am indeed tired after traveling all the way. I will go back to rest as your Majesty wishes. However, please think carefully about what I have to say. I will take my leave now." Xiang Yunjin bowed and was about to leave when a delicate and artificial voice came in, and Xiang Yunjin's eyes turned cold.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Jin'er is back. Is that true?"
Before she finished speaking, a graceful and beautiful woman hurried in with a look of surprise on her face. She walked in such a hurry that almost bumped into Xiang Yunjin who was turning around. Steadying herself, the woman's smile became even brighter, not noticing the gloomy face of the prince behind the desk.
"Oh! Jin'er is here? No wonder mother couldn't find you everywhere." The woman rushed to Yunjin and said happily. It would be perfect if she could hide the resentment in her eyes better.
Xiang Yunjin glanced at Princess Xiang gloomily, then turned to look at Prince Xiang, "Father, please take good care of your concubine. Not just any cat and dog can become your son's mother."
He had never been kind to this woman to begin with, and now he was no longer prepared to endure it. Xiang Yunjin didn't even want to look at her any more, for fear of polluting his eyes, so he turned around and left the conference study.
"You...you..." The words 'concubine, cat and dog' completely infuriated Princess Xiang. The smile on her face disappeared instantly. At this moment, she couldn't even pretend to be virtuous. Her eyes were red with anger, and she pointed at Xiang Yunjing's back.
She turned around and threw herself at the prince who was her supporter, crying, "Prince, how can the prince (Xiang Yunjin) say that? Although I am not his biological mother, I have never treated him badly. I have taken care of him wholeheartedly for so many years. Even if I have no credit or hard work, I should have credit. I know that the prince looks down on my background, but my background is not something I can control. I am the princess chosen by the prince himself. I am the one chosen by the prince, so I am an elder no matter what. In the past, the prince (Xiang Yunjin) disrespected me, but I endured it. But today, in front of the prince, he dared to say this. Prince, I am heartbroken! This is not taking the prince seriously..."
"Enough" he shouted and looked at the princess coldly.
The sudden loud shout frightened Princess Xiang so much that her body trembled. She immediately stopped crying and looked at the prince in disbelief, who had never yelled at her before. The cold gaze immediately sobered her up, and she realized that something was wrong with the prince. In the past, whenever she was sad and crying, the prince would always hug her to comfort her, but just now the prince did not hug her.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Princess Xiang looked at Prince Xiang in shock with tears in her eyes.
It would have been better if Princess Xiang didn't ask. This question was like igniting a bomb depot, and Prince Xiang exploded instantly.
"How dare you ask me what's wrong? You should ask what's wrong with you." How could Prince Xiang not hear the hidden meaning in his eldest son's words just now?
The eldest son is of noble status and cautious. He never makes enemies easily. Even if he makes enemies, no one in the entire Yunzhou City dares to deal with the Prince of Yunzhou. The mastermind is obvious: he would not tolerate the killing of his son, but was able to bribe the people around him under his son's nose and track his son's whereabouts. He did not like this son, but no matter what, he was his own flesh and blood. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. What's more, he did love him for a while when he was a child and even called him father. Prince Xiang looked at Princess Xiang sternly. He knew that the princess was good at pretending, but he didn't expect her to be so bold.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what I can do under your nose all day long. Your Majesty, you must not listen to other people's gossip!" Princess Xiang didn't care about being afraid and grabbed Prince Xiang. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string. She looked at the prince with a slightly aggrieved look. She knew that the prince couldn't bear to see her like this. She looked most pitiful from the side profile, and that was how she charmed the prince when she was young.
But she forgot that even though she still had charm, she was already middle-aged. The prince would fall for this trick when nothing happened, but when it came to important matters in the palace, the prince would still be able to distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
Faced with Princess Xiang's incredulous gaze, Prince Xiang waved her away, still looking at her with a gloomy gaze.
"Princess, you say gossip. Do you think I am easy to fool? I don't care whether you are really confused or pretending to be confused, whether you really don't know or pretend not to know. I will tell you clearly today that there is only one prince in this life, and that is Prince Yunjin, who was born to me by Princess Yu. I will not pursue this matter for the time being, but there won't be a next time. Remember, if anything happens to my son, I will blame the princess. The princess knows me well, and I will do what I say. Just like when I took on the pressure and made you my consort, if I can make you my consort, I can also dethrone you. Princess, please don't do anything that will disappoint me again."
"Your Highness...I..." Princess Xiang was really panicked. The prince had always treated her well and had never said such harsh words in front of her, even saying that he would depose her.
"Someone, send the princess back." Prince Xiang interrupted the princess and no longer looked at her. The princess has become more and more daring over the years. It's time for her to reflect on herself.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..."
"What are you waiting for? Send the princess back." Prince Xiang looked at the guards.
"Princess, please." Two guards hurried forward.
Looking at the prince with a cold and gloomy face, the princess knew that no matter how much she explained, it would be useless. The prince would not listen at all. Moreover, if she insisted on having her own way, the guards would really send her back personally. Then she, the princess, would lose face, and the concubines in the palace would laugh at her.
Immediately, she suppressed her panic and said to the princess with a smile, "Your Highness, you are angry now. I will explain to you later. I am leaving now."
In order to save face, Princess Xiang tidied herself up a little, and when she turned around, she was still the same graceful, dignified and calm Princess Xiang. But this calmness only lasted until she reached the main courtyard where she lived. When she returned to the room, her eyes became sharp and crazy. Everything in the room was swept away, and the servants were waiting outside the house trembling.
On the other hand, Xiang Yunjin, who had successfully let himself go, felt less depressed. When he heard the report from his servants, the corners of his mouth curled up a little. Very good, if he is unhappy, then everyone is unhappy. What he has suffered will be slowly returned in the future. After all, it is normal to have give and take.
"Liu Lin"
"Here." Liu Lin, who was guarding the door, hurried forward a few steps.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on my second brother, and you go to the government office in person to complete the process of settling the entire Lijia Village."
"Yes, sir, but..." Liu Lin looked embarrassed.
"Just say it straight." Xiang Yunjin glanced at him coldly.
Liu Lin was startled and didn't dare to hesitate any longer. "What about the address?"
"This prince seems to remember that there is a hundred acres of fertile land in the western suburbs, right?" Xiang Yunjin looked at Gao Xing.
