Ye Tingxuan was very efficient. He went to the palace that night to ask for an imperial decree and was ordered to go to the Western Regions to find a magical herb for the emperor.
In the early years, it was rumored that there was a kind of magical grass in the Western Regions. This grass grows on the snow-capped mountains and takes a hundred years to grow into a plant. Those who eat it will have the effect of prolonging life. In the early years, an ancient king of the Western Regions ate this grass and lived to be over a hundred years old and reigned for more than a hundred years.
However, this grass is so rare that people have gone to the snow-capped mountains to look for it for hundreds of years, but have not found any trace of it.
Ye Tingxuan and Concubine Yu jointly persuaded the emperor, making the emperor believe that the herb had already been discovered. He then ordered Ye Tingxuan to go to the Western Regions to retrieve the herb soon.
Of course, Concubine Yu also knew about the relationship between Qin Han and Concubine Yu. Now Concubine Yu has long been favored by the emperor in the harem. The emperor has always been fond of Concubine Yu. In recent days, the emperor has been suffering from headaches, and Concubine Yu has been by his side taking care of him day and night. Therefore, the emperor has become more and more respectful of Concubine Yu.
After Ye Tingxuan prepared everything, it was soon time for the eldest princess' birthday banquet. Many people attended the birthday banquet that day. Among the princes, except for the eldest prince who was under house arrest, all other princes were present.
Ye Tingxuan also went there happily. The moment he knew that Lin Qingye’s death in his previous life was closely related to Lin Qingyao, he had no intention of letting Lin Qingyao go.
At today's banquet, he would have to watch Lin Qingyao reap the fruits of her own labor before he could feel at ease.
Lin Qing was also preparing in the Marquis' Mansion at this moment. She called Chen Yanyu to her side and handed her the pair of keys to the mansion.
"Yanyu, we will be leaving the Marquis' Mansion soon, and we don't know when we will return. The Marquis' Mansion will depend on you from now on. I originally wanted to change your background, let you marry into the Marquis' Mansion in a grand manner, and then hand the Marquis' Mansion over to you.
But my mother's health can no longer hold, and I don't have time to plan for you in detail. I am sorry for you."
After hearing this, Chen Yanyu burst into tears. She cried loudly and knelt down beside Lin Qingye.
"Miss! You have done nothing wrong to me. Please don't say such things. It makes me feel uncomfortable..."
Before Chen Yanyu finished her words, she had already cried uncontrollably and was unable to speak. Lin Qing was also reluctant to let her go. Originally, she had many things to plan carefully, but now Nan Mingyu's health could not be delayed any longer.
Lin Qing also helped Chen Yanyu up from the ground, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from Chen Yanyu's eyes, and forced a smile.
"Hurry up and get up. You haven't been feeling well for a long time. The ground is cold. You must take good care of yourself. The Marquis' Mansion will depend on you to expand in the future.
Although my brother doesn't have much knowledge or ability, he is a very honest person. You are also smart, so your life will surely get better and better. I feel relieved to leave the Marquis' Mansion to you.
Aunt Liu has been driven out of the mansion. You must remember not to be soft-hearted and let her come back. She is a person who cannot make sense. If she comes back, she will only cause unrest in the mansion."
Chen Yanyu leaned on Lin Qingye, listening carefully to his instructions, sobbing softly intermittently. She was very reluctant to let him go, but she didn't want to stop him from leaving. She only hoped that he would return soon and Nan Mingyu would get better soon.
After Lin Qing explained everything to Chen Yanyu one by one, he also told her the big events that would happen in the Marquis' Mansion next. Lin Qingyao would marry the second prince as a concubine, and then the affair between Shen and the bandits would be exposed. Lin Qing also solemnly took out a divorce letter written by Lin Shan himself and handed it to Chen Yanyu.
"Yanyu, if things get out of control, you can ask your brother to take this divorce letter to the elders of the clan and clear our mansion of all wrongdoing."
Although Chen Yanyu was surprised, she still carefully put the divorce letter into her arms. She nodded at Lin Qing very seriously.
"Miss, don't worry, Yanyu will definitely guard the mansion and wait for you to come back."
Seeing this, Lin Qing also smiled with relief.
"From now on, just follow your brother and call me Bao'er. I will call you sister-in-law."
Chen Yanyu's face turned red with embarrassment when Lin Qing teased her like this.
At the eldest princess' birthday party, Lin Qingyao and the second prince were spotted in dishevel behind a rockery. The eldest princess got very angry about this, and the second prince was even more ashamed and angry. Lin Qingyao cried and expressed her friendship to the second prince, which moved many of the spectators. However, no one noticed the smiling face hidden by Lin Qingyao's round fan.
Li Wanqing looked at the scene coldly and asked Ye Tinghua beside him with an expressionless face.
"If I design this, will you marry me?"
Ye Tinghua did not answer, but just stared at Li Wanqing blankly without saying a word.
Soon one night, when everyone in the marquis's mansion was fast asleep, two carriages quietly arrived at the door.
Lin Shan hurriedly carried Nan Mingyu out in his arms. After Lin Qing helped Nan Mingyu onto the carriage, Lin Shan turned around and walked quickly to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. He knelt down in front of the gate and kowtowed three times in silence.
Lin Qing also understood that Lin Shan kowtowed these three times to the old lady. She looked at Nan Mingyu beside her and finally gave up the idea of kowtow.
Ye Tingxuan, who was standing by, seemed to see through her thoughts. He squeezed her hand calmly, smiled and nodded at her, as if he agreed with her approach.
After Lin Shan got on Nan Mingyu's carriage, Lin Qing took Cui Xi and followed Ye Tingxuan to the carriage behind.
The carriage slowly drove away from the gate of Marquis Pingnan's Mansion. Cui Xi opened the curtain with tears in her eyes, looking at Marquis Pingnan's Mansion reluctantly.
"Miss, will we come back?"
Lin Qing also lowered his eyes slightly and spoke in a tone that he himself was not sure of.
"Maybe."
Ye Tingxuan also noticed the uneasiness in Lin Qingye's heart at this moment. He quietly covered Lin Qingye's slightly cold little hand with his broad big hand.
"Bao'er, don't worry, I have arranged everything, and Yingyue and the others are keeping an eye on it."
When Cui Xi heard Ye Tingxuan mention Yingyue's name, the tears that were welling up in her eyes immediately fell uncontrollably, and she asked in a choked voice.
"My Lord, when will A Yue'er come to look for us?"
A flash of coldness flashed across Ye Ting's eyes for a moment.
"It will take at least a month."
In fact, what Ye Tingxuan wanted to say was that Yingyue would come after Lin Qingyao died. The task that Ye Tingxuan gave to Yingyue before leaving was to make sure to watch Lin Qingyao die with her own eyes. He wanted to avenge all the sufferings that Lin Qingyao had suffered in her previous life.
Lin Qingyao and her companions did not stop for long on the road and kept on traveling non-stop. By the time they finally arrived at a village near the border of the Western Regions, nearly two months had passed.
The group had just settled down in the post station, and Cui Xi was ready to go out with a basket to buy some fruits and vegetables. As soon as she walked out of the post station gate, she was suddenly blinded by a pair of hands. Cui Xi was about to shout when she smelled a familiar fragrance and tears immediately flowed down her face uncontrollably.
This scared Yingyue, who was trying to tease her, and she quickly comforted her in a low voice.
"It's me! A Yue'er! Xi'er, don't cry, I was just joking with you!"
Cui Xi hugged Yingyue in her arms and cried even louder.
In order to catch up with them, Yingyue did not dare to stop at all along the way and killed several horses before she was able to catch up with them. Her arrival made Cui Xi and Lin Qing very happy.
At the same time, Yingyue also brought some important news.
After Lin Qingyao married into the Third Prince's mansion as a concubine, the story of Shen and the three bandits spread throughout the streets the next day, and even the moles on Shen's body were described clearly.
After the incident, Lin Qingyuan took the divorce letter that Lin Shan had already written and asked the elders of the clan to come forward and drive Shen out.
Lin Qingyao was also implicated by Shen and was demoted from a concubine to a concubine. Concubine Yu despised Shen for being shameful and sent someone to secretly execute her.
Later, the news spread that the Second Prince had colluded with the Northern Kingdom's cavalry to rebel. The Fifth Prince led his troops to seize many weapons and letters from the Second Prince's mansion.
In the end, Concubine Yu was banished to the cold palace, and the Second Prince was placed under house arrest. Yingyue appropriately had someone preach to the Second Prince, saying that Lin Qingyao was the reincarnation of a disaster star. Not only did she kill her own mother, but after marrying into the Second Prince's mansion, she also brought misfortune to the Second Prince to such an extent.
As a result, Lin Qingyao was imprisoned by the Second Prince in a dog cage in the backyard, where she was whipped and fed dog food every day. The suffering she endured was no less than that of Lin Qingye in her previous life.
The third prince was also found to be involved in the affairs of the second prince. His mother was executed for drugging Concubine Yu, and evidence of the third prince's conspiracy with the second prince for treason was also uncovered.
The second prince was merely placed under house arrest, but the third prince was ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned directly and locked up in the clan house. The third prince disobeyed the order and was nearly killed, but was blocked by Li Wanqing's fatal sword.
Yingyue said that Li Wanqing died in the Third Prince's arms, and the Third Prince went crazy immediately.
After hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and the past events in her mind gradually became blurred. She looked at Ye Tingxuan who was carefully picking fish bones for her, and suddenly something in her heart seemed to melt away, and she smiled at Ye Tingxuan.
