Chapter 47 Cannon Fodder Princess vs Handsome Young General 02
Old Mrs. Lin thought about it and was about to change the subject, but Yueying didn't give her a chance to speak and continued speaking.
"Oh, by the way, Aunt Qin, right? I've been waiting for you to slap me in the face for quite some time."
She was talking to the nanny, but her eyes were fixed on Old Mrs. Lin. Everyone saw the half-smile on Yueying's face and felt panic in their hearts.
"Now in the Lin family, even a servant dares to bully the royal children..."
Old Mrs. Lin opened her mouth slightly, but before she could hesitate to speak, Yueying immediately added in a muffled voice.
"Your Highness, the Lin family's loyalty to the royal family is clear to all. You are creating trouble out of nothing and beating and killing innocent servants. Don't confuse right and wrong."
As Lin Huacong was speaking, he walked into the house with a chill. Yueying had never thought that this person would come so quickly today.
"A sincere heart towards the royal family?"
It's a bit tiring to talk about it. If I hadn't been in poor health, I would have beaten up these scum and sent them away just to buy time and wait for reinforcements. They all have distorted values and there is no logic in their minds.
"Who saluted me when seeing me in the Lin Mansion? If I remember correctly, the tradition of my dynasty for hundreds of years is to first pay respect to the emperor and his subjects, and then to the father and his son. Is this the sincerity of your Lin family?"
Lin Huacong's face was full of disbelief. It must be Yueying's sudden strength that he couldn't accept. After all, someone who had been humble and submissive in front of him for two or three years suddenly became tough.
The room suddenly became quiet. Although there were dozens of people in the room, everyone had their own thoughts.
"My lord... my lord... something bad has happened."
Lin Huaicong was still thinking about why the princess was going to be angry today and how to deal with it when he saw the doorman running in breathlessly.
"Sir, officers and soldiers... a lot of officers and soldiers."
Two people came in following the servant, Ying Yi and Zhao Qi, the chief guard of the princess's mansion.
"You two are..."
Lin Huaicong straightened his clothes and prepared to ask questions. He didn't know these two people. They had been married for almost three years, and everything that the original owner could use to gain power had been hidden by her.
"See Your Highness the Princess."
The two men ignored Lin Huaicong and saluted Yueying directly.
"You guys are a little slow, where's the doctor?"
Yueying felt that she admired herself so much for dragging out the conversation for so long by just talking about this and that.
"Three of them are on the way, and I brought one with me."
Behind the two men, there was an old man kneeling there, carrying a medicine box.
"Zhao Qi."
She called the captain of the guards and signaled with her eyes at the medicine bowl on the ground. Nanny Zhang saw that something was wrong and tried to break free and snatch the bowl.
"Don't bother. Even if there's no medicine in this bowl, the doctors will know what it is just by smelling it."
Zhao Qi picked up the medicine bowl first, and the imperial physician was shocked when he smelled it.
Looking at the situation in the house, what he could think of was a wicked slave bullying his master. Because it was an old slave in the family, he caused the conflict between the princess and her husband.
After all, he couldn't imagine that the prince consort would dare to give the princess a sterilizing drug, and there were rumors that the princess and her husband had a good relationship, so he explained to the prince consort with an expression as if he was trying to mediate the relationship between the couple.
"This... is a sterilizing drug. After drinking one bowl, the princess will never be able to have children again."
Although Lin Huaicong had many complaints about Yueying, he was also very shocked at this moment. In his own mansion, someone actually wanted to give the princess a sterilizing drug. This was a disaster that would destroy the entire family.
"So, who is the one who murdered the royal family? Think about it carefully... After all, it is a heinous crime that will punish the entire clan."
Yueying had been staring at Lin Huaicong, mainly wanting to see what tricks this scumbag would come up with after his evil plan was exposed. Unexpectedly, he frowned and looked at Old Lin, then looked at the kneeling old nanny, and then looked into her eyes.
Damn, is this scumbag so good at acting? He makes it seem like he is unaware of the situation.
"Host, he really doesn't know."
Xiao P suddenly spoke, but what he said made Yueying angry.
"Can you please not waste your precious appearance time for a scumbag?"
"Oh, I just wanted to say, who told you to write that he also liked the heroine later."
This generation of hosts is really hard to lead. If they don’t show up, they’re disliked. If they show up, they’re still disliked. It really is difficult to lead a life.
"So there's another hidden plot?"
Yueying gritted her teeth and had to roll her eyes and ask patiently.
"Well, do you want to see it? It only appeared because I thought it was important."
“I hope it’s really important.”
Receiving the story that the world automatically makes up for itself in order to operate, well, how should I put it, well, as expected, there is a cause for every effect.
When he was five or six years old, Lin Huai went to the palace several times to select study companions for the princes. He saw a girl of his own age torturing cats and birds to death and beating palace maids with a whip.
He stepped forward to argue and stop them, but was also beaten. He still remembered what the girl said, "I am the great Princess Yueying. If I want the moon in the sky, my father will pick it down for me. You dog slaves are nothing."
Later, the son of Prince Chen, who was also a study partner of Chen Ye, was called away by Princess Yueying's maid after class and broke his leg the next day. From then on, Chen Ye was lame and had no chance of pursuing a career in officialdom.
A few years ago, Lin Huaicong passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court. Due to his low rank, he could not visit the imperial study, but as a young talent, the emperor did allow him to attend several palace banquets.
Once he saw a gorgeously dressed woman being bumped into by a palace maid, who then gave the maid fifty strokes of the cane. Later, he saw at a palace banquet that the woman was actually the Emperor's favorite Princess Yueying.
In Lin Huaicong's heart, Yueying was already an extremely arrogant and domineering princess, but he did not expect that the emperor would grant them a marriage even though he knew he was engaged, because he fell in love with her at the banquet. He forced his cousin to break off the engagement with him and forced the Lin family to move near the princess's mansion.
The reason why Lin Huaicong was unmoved by the original owner's various flatteries and was still determined to use the original owner was because in his heart, no matter how well this princess behaved, she was only doing it for others to see, and in fact, she was a sinister and vicious woman in her heart.
"Little P, come out, am I not a kind, upright, lively, cute, smart and clever princess?"
"I can only tell you that you were not the vicious one when you were little. The punishment of the palace maids and the forced marriage when you grew up were all misunderstandings. You can look for the answers in the character's memory yourself."
After hearing this, Yueying just wanted to run away. After traveling through time, the original owner's body was still running a high fever. It was not easy to hold on for so long. The system was beating around the bush and didn't give a direct answer.
So Yueying stared at Lin Huaicong fiercely, "It's all because of you, bastard. You blame me for things you don't understand yourself. I really want to kill you."
Since none of the maids dared to respond to Yueying's words, the room was so quiet for a while that no one dared to breathe loudly.
Lin Huai was very upset at this moment. Although he hated the princess, he had never thought of doing anything to her. He even occasionally thought that she pretended to be weak and kind, and was cautious in front of him. If she kept pretending to be well-behaved like this for her whole life, marrying her home would be considered getting rid of a harm to the people.
However, he did not expect that the princess did not cause any trouble in her own house, but her mother did not discipline the servants strictly, which led to such a serious problem.
Yes, Lin Huaicong didn’t think that his mother was malicious and wanted to harm the princess. He thought that it was the servants in the family who over-guessed their master’s thoughts and did stupid things on their own.
Yueying asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, and asked Doukou to get two cold towels to put on her forehead.
"I have no patience left. You should know that I have a high fever and am in great pain. This evil slave just forced me to drink several gulps of sterilizing medicine. I have been holding on to survive."
When everyone heard that a few gulps of the sterilizing drug had been poured in, they immediately realized that the matter was not over yet.
"Also, I don't mind if someone steps forward to take the blame. As long as the reason is reasonable, I can accept it. But I want to remind you that none of the nine clans of Daning State, including parents and wives, can escape. Of course, if the accomplice reports with solid evidence, as a reward, I will not only not punish you, but also release your nine clans from slavery and reward you with one thousand taels of silver."
When Lin Huacong heard this, she looked up, disgust clearly written on her face, revealing her vicious nature. If everyone still couldn't hear that the princess was implying that her mother was the mastermind, then they would be too stupid. They didn't expect that she would use such coercion and inducement to deal with the Lin family.
"Princess, you are not feeling well today. I will take care of this matter."
There were many outsiders present, so Lin Huaiang adjusted his expression and spoke respectfully.
"Oh? Then I want to hear what your husband is going to do with you."
The princess looked sick and although she seemed to be struggling to support him, she still showed deep sarcasm towards Lin Huaicong.
The imperial doctors who arrived later watched this family scandal that should not have been watched by the ministers, and they all lowered their heads and stood aside as wooden stakes.
"Your Highness! Although I, Lin Huaicong, have not done anything great, as a man of seven feet tall, I would not do such dirty things that would hurt a woman."
Lin Huai never thought that Yueying would suspect him. Not to mention that the princess had always loved him to death, he himself was a decent person and it was impossible for him to be misunderstood by outsiders.
"Where's the evidence? If you can show me evidence that has nothing to do with you, I will believe you."
Yueying swallowed the pill given by the imperial physician with water, and then said lightly.
"Princess, what evidence do you have to prove that it was me who did it?"
This was a life-threatening matter at the moment, so Lin Huaicong didn't care whether others were laughing at him or not, and continued to retort to the princess.
"Lin Huaicong, when did you start to talk about evidence? Last time when you were drunk, you said that when you were a child, you saw me killing cats and birds, and I also whipped you. These were things I had never done, but you forced them on me. At the palace banquet before the wedding, I found that a palace maid secretly drugged you, a group of talented men who had just entered the officialdom, so I had to punish her by killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. In your eyes, it became abusing the palace maids."
Suddenly feeling a palpitation, Yueying paused and continued.
"Let's not talk about the past, let's just talk about what happened today. You came in without asking what happened, and you said I was making trouble out of nothing and beating and killing innocent servants. Is that right? You've acted like this, and I suspect you're trying to poison me. What's the problem with that?"
When Mrs. Lin heard that the princess was going to bite her son to death, she didn't care about anything else and just shouted at Madam Zhang.
"Zhang Ma, why are you so impulsive? I just complained a few times that the princess and I were not close, how could you do such a foolish thing."
"Princess, Princess, it's not a servant, it's a lady...ah."
Madam Lin grabbed the scissors in the basket beside the table and stabbed them into Nanny Zhang's heart.
Everyone was shocked by the old lady's self-confession. They thought that today's matter would not end well and that it was none of their business. So they all acted like quails, lowering their heads and not daring to express their anger.
Yueying slowed down and sighed.
"Except Lin Huaicong and Ying Yi, everyone get out."
Madam Lin wanted to say something, but the captain of the guards clenched his knife. Seeing this, the head maid hurriedly helped her out.
"Lin Huaicong, now that things have come to this, write the divorce letter. I will not divorce you as a last courtesy to the number one scholar."
Lin Huaicong, who was shocked by the scene just now, said nothing. He just walked to the desk and sat down woodenly. He ground some rice and looked up at the moon shadow, as if he wanted to say something. It seemed that he had been thinking about it for a while, but he didn't say it in the end.
Yueying gestured to Yingyi to look at Lin Huaicong, and asked Doukou to go out and arrange for the imperial physician to boil medicine. She pulled down the bed curtain, and seeing that the two people in the room should not be able to see her, she slipped into the space, filled a small bottle with some spiritual spring water, and hurried out.
Yueying drank the water in three or two gulps before Doukou came in, and she gradually felt relaxed. When Doukou came in, she asked her to put on her coat, and continued to pretend to be weak and slowly walked to the desk at the other end of the room.
"Don't worry about your mother. She has done more than one excessive thing to me today. I didn't intend to cause any death. I just wanted to scare the people who bullied me before I left, and to vent my anger. I called the guards here just to protect myself."
Yueying was very satisfied to see that Lin Huacong was already writing the divorce letter, and her attitude also improved.
"As for the imperial physician, I will tell him. Father will not know what happened today. I was wrong about our marriage, and I apologize to you today. But I don't want to take the blame. Believe it or not."
After Lin Huacong finished writing the last word, he looked up and saw Yueying handing her a signed divorce agreement, and then took away the one she had just written. He did it all in a very smooth manner and didn't say anything more in the end.
Yueying took the divorce letter, dragged her weak body, and went back to the princess's mansion with her guards.
Because she secretly got some spiritual spring water to drink at night, Yueying was completely healed the next day. She picked and chose, changed into her favorite outfit, and went to the palace to meet the emperor with the divorce letter.
After all, the princess was divorced, so she had to give an explanation to her old father, the emperor.
Yueying told the emperor that after she got married, she felt that although this kind of weak scholar looked pleasing to the eye, he was actually not very useful, and she still wanted to find someone with good health in the future.
The emperor was originally very angry when he knew that his daughter was willing to be bullied in the Lin family and was angry at her for not fighting back. However, he did not expect to hear such bold remarks from his daughter again. For a moment, he did not know what to teach her. In the end, he just gave her some rewards and said that he would pay attention to her health when helping her find a prince consort in the future.
Things were not so smooth in the Lin Mansion. Old Madam Lin killed the nanny who had followed her for many years with her own hands. Not long after Yueying left, she fell ill with a high fever. She asked the doctor to prescribe anti-convulsant medicine and she slept restlessly all night.
