Chapter 240 Turbulence.

The second prince was startled, glanced at the guard outside the door, and said bluntly without hiding anything: "I met the crown prince and aunt on the Liujing River!"

"He didn't tell me that."

Ye Ling'er made an excuse for the guard, which made the Second Prince smile helplessly.

I didn't expect that I was tricked out by my wife.

Ye Ling'er also felt a little warm in her heart. She didn't expect that her husband would tell her about such a big thing without reservation. It seems that she has to save her husband and persuade him to let go of his unnecessary ambition!

"Does it have to be this way?" Ye Ling'er said with a firm look, as if questioning, "From now on, I will listen to you and serve you wholeheartedly. Isn't it good for us to live a peaceful life?"

After spending a long time together, the two of them developed feelings for each other, and both of them could feel it.

The second prince also felt guilty towards Ye Ling'er. Because of him, the lively and active Ye Ling'er who was obsessed with martial arts died before they got married. He also knew that his wife was doing this for his own good, so he spoke very restrainedly and gently: "You think too simply!"

"Even if I want to live a peaceful life, as long as I have the identity of the Second Prince, others will not let me go and will not allow me to stay out of it!"

He did not mention that His Majesty used him as a whetstone for the Crown Prince, nor did he mention the uneasiness and ambition hidden in his heart. He just sighed helplessly and said with some sarcasm in his tone: "Besides, the master you often mentioned in the past, our Daqing's master of both civil and military affairs, Master Fan, is actually the most vengeful person!"

"But aren't you brothers?" Ye Ling'er stared at him blankly, and suddenly interrupted him, saying, "What hatred between brothers can't be resolved? Even if he really wants to do something, father will not just watch and watch, right?"

Father emperor?

The second prince looked at the scenery outside and smiled bitterly silently, then his face, with his back to Ye Ling'er, turned into a ferocious look!
Even if my father doesn't target me, I still want to target him!

Just wait and see, that day won’t be too far away!

I am the most outstanding prince, far superior to that useless prince. Why can the prince give it to him but not to me? I can do better!
"Some hatreds cannot be let go by people themselves."

Others may not know the truth about the Niulan Street assassination, but how could Fan Xian, who now controls the Supervisory Council, not know it? The matter of Baoyue Tower, the matter of those prostitutes, instigating the Third Prince and Fan Sizhe, and many other plots, all of which were not convenient to tell his wife.

Not to mention, the Second Prince could see that Fan Xian was a person who did not care about the imperial power.

The identity of a prince is useful to others, but it is of no use to Fan Xian.

If it weren't for his identity as a prince, he would have killed himself before Fan Xian had grown strong enough!
"I am good friends with Master Fan Xian, so I can say many things that you are not comfortable saying! I just want you to be well. As long as you can let go of those meaningless ambitions, I can persuade Fan Xian to let go of his hatred!"

Although the second prince felt that his wife was too naive, he was still warmed by her words and felt touched.

He responded to his wife's words more tenderly: "I am willing to follow your instructions on this matter. Let's talk about this after Fan Xian returns to Beijing."

The Second Prince felt more and more anxious for some reason. He had to protect himself, not only from Fan Xian, but also from the Crown Prince and the Princess. He needed a power of his own!

"By the way, I haven't seen Master Taishan for a long time. Today we have some free time, so let's go back to the Ye Mansion to visit him!"

After getting her husband's assurance, Ye Ling'er smiled cheerfully, as if she had regained some of her former liveliness.

Now that she sees that her husband values ​​her and her family situation, she is even more delighted.

"That's great, let's go now!"

"Are we going to leave empty-handed?" The second prince smiled helplessly, "It's not polite. The daughter who married out is still considered young?"

Ye Ling'er also slapped her forehead, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I was so happy that I forgot about it. I'll prepare it now!" After that, she hurried to the warehouse to choose gifts.

Seeing his wife going to make preparations, the Second Prince looked at the guards at the door with a complicated expression.

······
Ye Ling'er no longer had a smile on her face as she walked to the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, Wan'er's mother returned to Kyoto quietly. No one knew about this, not even Wan'er.

The first thing the princess did when she returned to the capital was to invite her husband and the prince. It seemed that there was something fishy about this matter, so she had to tell her father secretly, hoping that it would not have any impact on her husband.

Ye Ling'er gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart!

She would never let what happened to Lin Gong happen to her husband again!
In the evening, the second prince brought Ye Ling'er back to the Ye Mansion, openly and without any taboos.

At a time when outsiders are avoiding the Ye family, the Second Prince's move has made others look at them differently.

The dinner at the Ye Mansion was very grand, and was prepared according to the standards for receiving a prince. Even Ye Wan, who was on duty in the palace, was transferred back to the mansion to accompany the guests. It can be imagined how much the Ye family values ​​the second prince.

After the dinner, the Second Prince accompanied Ye Chong to the study.

As for what the two of them talked about specifically, it is unknown to outsiders.

The next day, a court meeting was held again. This was the first court meeting since the corruption case.

Too many major events happened in the past two months, not only the huge deficit of the Ministry of Revenue, but also the embezzlement of public funds by the Crown Prince and other high-ranking officials. The true identity of Fan Xian was also exposed.

All of this made the stagnant court, where Emperor Qing had the final say, come alive again.

Emperor Qing, sitting on the dragon throne, looked calm as usual, showing no emotion at all.

But his eyes were always fixed on someone off the court, as if he was thinking about something.

Today, the Minister of Finance Fan Jian has recovered from his illness and came to the court meeting, sitting in the front row.

The Prince of Jing was also by his side, which caused a lot of discussion among the ministers.

Unexpectedly, Prince Jing, who had not attended court for many years, also showed up today, and it seemed that he was chatting happily with Fan Jian, which surprised everyone!
Previously, His Majesty granted a marriage between Prince Jing's Mansion and the Fan Mansion, hoping that Fan Ruoruo would marry Li Hongcheng, but Fan Xian played a big trick and sent Fan Ruoruo directly to Northern Qi. On the surface, he became a disciple of Ku He to learn medicine, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

Isn’t this a rejection of marriage?
I didn't expect that Prince Jing and Fan Jian would have such a lively conversation today. Fan Jian's methods are really brilliant!

At this time, Fan Jian was still the Minister of Revenue, and it seemed that the previous events had no effect on him.

Yes, he is still the Minister of Revenue!
How absurd!

Emperor Qing looked at his old friend with slightly gray hair below, thought of Chen Pingping who was still living in Chen Garden, and sighed silently in his heart.

The three of them seemed to be drifting away.

That’s right, Emperor Qing had doubts about Chen Pingping!
How much did Chen Pingping participate in Fan Xian’s previous actions?

Stopping his thoughts, Emperor Qing said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fan, do you admit your guilt?"
