After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

It’s great that the princess can come!

Everyone was filled with gratitude.

"Everyone, stand up. No need to be so polite." Qin Yaoguang held his hands in the air with a graceful manner.

Yan Shiyan stood two steps behind her, looking at his mother admiringly.

He had never seen his mother's appearance in front of the court officials, and his heart was filled with admiration.

He could never be like his mother, but at least he could follow in her footsteps.

Just as he was lost in thought, a slender hand appeared before his eyes.

Yan Shiyan suppressed his excitement, reached out and held his mother's hand, and walked step by step towards the Dali Temple.

The officials were puzzled and couldn't help but secretly glance at the child held in the eldest princess's hand.

Is this the concubine sent back by Prince Anle?

How come his temperament is so indifferent and calm, without any of the petty-mindedness that is common among illegitimate children?

Her Royal Highness the Princess must have been well educated to be so outstanding.

With Yan Shiyan's public appearance, another rumor in the capital that was unfavorable to Qin Yaoguang was dispelled.

The eldest princess has come to visit the Dali Temple, so naturally she cannot be allowed to condescend to go to that dark, damp prison where rats and ants are rampant.

When she nodded in agreement, the prison warden washed Cui Yongwei and took him to an empty room in the back hall of the Dali Temple to temporarily house him.

Dai Zhilong accompanied Qin Yaoguang into the room and shouted to Cui Yongwei, "Cui Yongwei, look who's here? Hurry up and pay your respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Cui Yongwei was a confirmed death row prisoner, put in a heavy shackle and wearing handcuffs and shackles.

Because of the weight of the shackles, he was forced to sit on the ground and even had difficulty raising his head.

Although he had been washed and changed into clean prison clothes, he was still completely different from the Lord Cui who was one of the Nine Ministers.

His gray hair had just been washed and was standing up in a messy manner.

The ankles were covered with layers of blood scabs from the shackles, and traces of white bones could be vaguely seen.

He looks like a pitiful old man, but when you think about what he has done and the innocent lives he has killed, he is not pitiful at all.

Cui Yongwei raised his eyelids and said in a hoarse voice: "Dai Zhilong, you and I were once officials in the same court. Why are you so ruthless now?"

Dai Zhilong said, "Pah!" and said, "I am ashamed to serve in the same court as you!"

He is a person who hates evil, otherwise how could Qin Yaoguang be willing to hand over Cui Yongwei's case to the Dali Temple for investigation.

After being scolded by him, Cui Yongwei smiled darkly: "Take your people out, I have something to say to the princess alone."

"No."

Dai Zhilong flatly refused: "You want to see His Highness, I have invited you here. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don't try any tricks!"

As the highest official of the Dali Temple, how could he allow the noble princess and the death row prisoner to be in the same room?

"Then you should write a petition and ask the emperor to bring forward my sentence."

Cui Yongyi showed no fear of boiling water, and he ripped the chains on his body, making them rattle. “Otherwise, I will definitely die before the execution.”

He is going to die anyway, so he is not afraid of anything.

It is said that a good death is worse than a miserable life, but it is obviously better to die early than to wait for death, so why live?

Dai Zhilong was so angry that he was furious. He pointed at his forehead and said, "Okay, Cui Yongwei! You are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, right?!"

"You may not know that the Dali Temple has many ways to make your life worse than death."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong and looked towards Qin Yaoguang worriedly.

He was so mad at Cui Yongwei.

How could I forget that no matter what he is like, he is still from the eldest princess's mother's family?

Qin Yaoguang smiled faintly: "It's okay."

"Master Dai, please go out. I will ask him what is on his mind."

"But……"

Dai Zhilong was very hesitant.

"He can only say a few words at most. Sir Dai, please do not worry about my safety."

Since she is here, she must solve this problem thoroughly, otherwise wouldn't her trip be in vain?

Besides, at this point she was also very curious about what Cui Yongwei wanted to say to her.

Looking at Cui Yongwei, who was wearing a yoke weighing more than 20 kilograms and had difficulty moving, he was a weak scholar who had been imprisoned for a long time and indeed had no ability to harm the eldest princess.

Even so, he stepped forward and personally checked the shackles on Cui Yongwei one by one before bowing and leaving.

"Your Highness, I am waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just shout and I will come in immediately."

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly: "I understand."

Seeing him so serious, Cui Yongwei held the shackles with both hands, laughing and coughing.

In a moment, everyone in the room took off their clothes.

Qin Yaoguang winked at Qingbai, who nodded silently and also walked out.

Cui Yongwei just looked at Yan Shiyan.

Before he could speak, Yan Shiyan spoke first: "You don't think that a kid like me who is not even old enough to dance with a spoon would be a threat to you, do you?"

This is his way of provoking generals.

It's similar to Deputy Cui Yongwei's attitude: I'm going to die anyway, what can you do to me?

As expected, Cui Yongwei was stunned and did not ask him to go out as well.

Yan Shiyan finally felt relieved.

He didn't care what others thought. He had heard a little about Cui Yongwei's case. How could he let his mother face such a criminal alone?

In the wing room, there is an octagonal table and two high-back chairs.

In order to make it easier for Qin Yaoguang to ask questions, Yan Shiyan moved one of the chairs three steps away from Cui Yongwei and helped his mother sit down.

At this distance, both sides can hear each other clearly and prevent the other party from suddenly attacking and injuring others.

Cui Yongwei looked at his actions coldly, then suddenly laughed and said to Qin Yaoguang: "Don't think you have raised a good son. Sooner or later he will turn into an ungrateful little wolf."

His words were full of jealousy and instigation.

Qin Yaoguang didn't care about him. She calmly adjusted her skirt and asked, "Are you talking about yourself?"

He enjoyed all the resources given by Duke Cui Lao, but did things that harmed the country and the people.

Cui Yongwei snorted coldly, staring at Qin Yaoguang with bloodshot eyes, his voice full of resentment: "Don't be complacent, sooner or later you will die a miserable death."

"Then I won't bother you."

Qin Yaoguang brushed off the dust on the hem of her skirt that had been stained in the room: "I will definitely die later than you."

When it comes to the ability to make people angry, she has never lost to anyone.

Yan Shiyan stood behind his mother with a stern face. He was originally angry when he heard Cui Yongwei's rude words, but now he almost laughed out loud.

"you!"

Cui Yongwei was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and the chains on his body were rattling as he pulled them.

Qin Yaoguang showed a look of disappointment on her face: "Cui Yongwei, you threatened to die, I thought you were going to tell me some big secret, is that all?"

That's it?

She understands whether you hate her or want to scold her.

However, there is no need to make such a fuss.

Cui Yongwei took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his unstable emotions after being provoked by her.

After a moment, he recovered a little and said solemnly: "Qin Yaoguang, I came to you to make a deal, which will be of great benefit to you."
