……

As soon as she entered Ouyang Qingyu's study, Li Lingyu burst into tears, her eyes full of pleading:

"Minister Ouyang, please take a look at how my father has been tortured... If this continues, he really can't bear it...

Consider it a plea from me, please think of a solution for my father."

Ouyang Qingyu sat on the chair, frowned slightly, and said helplessly:

"Li Lingyu, I told you last time that there must be someone behind this. As long as we can find this person, we can negotiate a deal with him.

Your father Li Da may still have a chance of survival.

You should also know that the person behind the scenes tortured your father like this for some purpose.

If you can fulfill his wish, he will surely stop causing trouble for your father."

Li Lingyu gradually calmed down after hearing this, and gradually stopped crying, with a trace of thought in his eyes:

The first person that came to mind was the fifth princess Lin Meihua.

That's right, she must have discovered her relationship with the Seventh Princess and was looking for an opportunity to take revenge. She, Lin Meihua, was just such a woman who couldn't stand others doing well!

Li Lingyu agreed with Ouyang Qingyu's point of view. He knew that meeting with Lin Meihua and doing something for Lin Meihua might be the only way to save his father Li Da.

But after so many days, he still felt fear towards Lin Meihua.

As for what Lin Meihua wants to get.

Over the years, Li Lingyu has always been very clear about this.

She just wanted to get Ouyang Qingyu.

But Ouyang Qingyu was right in front of her. Li Lingyu looked up at Ouyang Qingyu, then lowered her head, bit her lips, and clenched her fists.

At this moment, he found that he couldn't say it.

After thinking for a long time, Li Lingyu could only say: "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try, as long as I can save my father."

Ouyang Qingyu glanced at him and said, "I've been busy these days. After the celebration banquet, if you still can't resolve the matter, come find me again. We can have some tea and talk slowly."

"Okay." Li Lingyu nodded.

Then he turned and left Ouyang Qingyu's residence.

Ouyang Qingyu watched Li Lingyu leave, and a strange smile spread across his lips, as if a wolf lurking in the darkness had finally captured its prey, and he was filled with satisfaction.

Ouyang Qingyu immediately said: "Qin Jun, send someone to keep an eye on him."

Qin Jun saluted: "Yes, sir."

……

Day two.

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit and bustling. Lin Moyun held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the triumphant return of Wang Luda's army.

At the banquet, palace maids were walking around, and table after table was filled with delicious food and wine.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe, Crown Princess Ye Sisi, Second Prince Lin Xiaoran, Third Prince Lin Gao, Fourth Prince Lin Yu, Fifth Princess Lin Meihua, Seventh Princess Lin Menghua and other royal relatives sat in the front row one by one.

Lin Wanwan and Hua Yu came hand in hand and sat in the corner of the seats for royal relatives.

Prime Minister Su Mingde, Wang Luda, the six ministers, Wang Sha, Zheng Xuanlang, Ouyang Qingyu, Lu Mu and other civil and military ministers sat in the back row in court robes.

And, sitting at the last seat was Ye Zhan, who was specially allowed to attend the banquet.

There was an unclean light flashing in Ye Zhan's eyes. He looked at Lin Wanwan in front of him without any concealment, and wandered over her body wantonly, as if he wanted to see through every inch of her skin.

Afterwards, he felt resentful about Lu Mu stopping them from raping Lin Wanwan!

Damn it! This damn dog Lu Mu!

If it weren't for him, Lin Wanwan would have already gotten herself into trouble!

Afterwards, Ye Zhan poured a glass of wine and drank it by himself.

Lin Moyun was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and sitting on the main seat, his face filled with joy and majesty. He swept his eyes over everyone, then looked at Ouyang Qingyu who was sitting among the court officials, and said with a smile:

"Minister Ouyang, come, sit with Meihua."

This seemingly ordinary sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, attracting the attention of all the ministers.

The ministers began to whisper to each other.

"From the looks of it, the only thing missing from these two people's relationship is His Majesty granting them marriage."

"Yes, I think this marriage is a done deal."

"Minister Ouyang?" Wang Sha turned around and cast her gaze towards Ouyang Qingyu, only to see that his face instantly darkened and his expression was as cold as ice. He said nothing and looked indifferently at the seat of royal relatives and nobles in front of him.

She followed Ouyang Qingyu's gaze and found that he was not looking at Lin Meihua, but Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan!

Wang Sha blinked and followed his gaze again, and sure enough, she was right.

Ouyang Qingyu's gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Wanwan in the distance. He saw Hua Yu sitting next to Lin Wanwan. At this moment, the two of them were talking and laughing, looking very close.

Ouyang Qingyu's expression instantly became uglier, and the jealousy in his heart poured out like a raging sea. He took a step forward, saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, I am feeling unwell and am afraid I will not be able to attend."

His voice was cold and firm, and his eyes revealed unquestionable resistance.

Lin Moyun was slightly startled, and the smile on his face froze. Facing Ouyang Qingyu's rejection, he did not intend to let him go this time: "Call the Imperial Physician Situ."

Doctor Situ?!

Lin Wanwan and Hua Yu were both stunned: Wasn’t Situ Liuyun dead?

【System prompt: A handsome man has been detected.】

[Handsome man information:]

[Situ Liufeng, 19 years old, identity, Situ Liuyun's twin brother, from a family of imperial physicians. ]

[Task: None. 】

Afterwards, everyone's eyes were focused on Situ Liufeng who had just entered the palace. He was dressed in the plain clothes of the Imperial Hospital and walked with steady steps.

Situ Liufeng's face was exactly the same as Situ Liuyun's. He walked to Ouyang Qingyu and bowed slightly: "Sir, please extend your hand."

Ouyang Qingyu then stretched out his wrist.

Situ Liufeng immediately stretched out his slender fingers, placed them on Ouyang Qingyu's wrist, held his breath, and carefully felt the beating of his pulse.

Lin Moyun, who was standing by, frowned and looked at Situ Liufeng anxiously. When Situ Liufeng withdrew his hand and stood up, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is Minister Ouyang's health?"

Situ Liufeng lightly rolled up his sleeves, his expression serious, and said slowly: "I do have a bit of a cold."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible in the quiet palace.

Lin Moyun was silent for a moment after hearing this: "You can leave now."

Situ Liufeng saluted, and the moment he stood up, his eyes inadvertently met Lin Wanwan's, then he smiled and nodded slightly.

Hua Yu keenly caught this smile, and looking at Situ Liufeng who turned and left, she couldn't help but guess his intentions.

The same is true for Lin Wanwan.

Concubine Lin only felt that the atmosphere in the court became more tense and subtle for a moment.

So she looked at Lin Wanwan, then at Ouyang Qingyu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Qingyu is not feeling well, so let him go back."

Lin Moyun glanced at Concubine Lin, and said to Ouyang Qingyu in a deep voice: "Then you can go back."

Ouyang Qingyu immediately stood up and left the banquet hall with a gloomy face.

Concubine Lin gave her personal maid Liao Lan a look, and Liao Lan immediately understood and went out to find Ouyang Qingyu.

Lin Meihua was almost going crazy. She looked at Lin Xiaoran beside her with a glare as sharp as a knife. She thought he could really kill Lin Wanwan, but in the end, her royal brother still failed!

Ouyang Qingyu must still have fantasies about Lin Wanwan!

It's all useless! It's all useless!

Lin Menghua, who was standing by, looked at Lin Meihua's ugly face and chuckled, "Why do you look so ugly? Is it because of imbalance between yin and yang?"

Lin Meihua glanced at her and said, "Oh, Li Lingyu, did you have a great time?"

Lin Menghua smiled and said, "It's better than you having nothing to play with, and looking irritable like an old man."

Lin Meihua became even angrier. She looked at everyone at the banquet and felt that they were all talking and laughing, laughing at her.

At this time, an eunuch of the Queen Mother came hurriedly and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wants to see you. She said she has something important to discuss. She wants you and the other ladies to come together."

Lin Moyun nodded and stood up.

Seeing Lin Moyun getting up to leave, Lin Meihua hurried out to salute:

"Father, Meihua is not feeling well and wants to leave."

Princess Li looked at Lin Meihua's embarrassment and reminded her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Lin Moyun glanced at her and said, "Go back."

After getting permission, Lin Meihua turned around and left the celebration banquet. She couldn't stay here for a moment longer.

Lin Moyun looked around at everyone and said, "My dear ministers, please have your meal first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone saluted together.

Lin Moyun, Concubine Lin, Concubine Li and others went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom together.

Ye Sisi looked at Lin Xiaohe beside her, lowered her eyes, and quietly pulled Lin Xiaohe's sleeve.

Lin Xiaohe turned a blind eye.

Ye Sisi felt a chill in her heart. Although she was already the Crown Princess, she had made Lin Xiaohe very unhappy because of her debts in the past few days.

At this moment, she bit her lip, withdrew her hand, sat silently beside Lin Xiaohe, and motioned Zi Lan beside her to pour her a glass of wine.

Zilan understood and filled a cup.

Ye Sisi picked up the wine bottle and said tenderly, "Prince, Sisi offers you a drink."

Lin Xiaohe still acted as if he didn't hear anything and said nothing.

Ye Sisi went from feeling aggrieved to being angry. She just couldn't believe that Lin Xiaohe no longer cared about her at all!

Then, she glanced at Lin Wanwan in the corner, and saw Hua Yu, a beautiful woman, feeding Lin Wanwan beside her.

Ye Sisi then held the wine bottle, twisted her waist, and walked towards Lin Wanwan with a sweet smile, pretending to show her goodwill:

"Sister Princess, I am already the Crown Princess. I am honored to have a drink with you today. Sisi would like to offer you a toast.

Sister Princess, drink this glass of wine and let the past be written off."

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes, looked at Ye Sisi's fake smile, and then stood up.

She took the wine bottle, raised it high, and then poured the wine on Ye Sisi's head without a drop falling.

"Ah!" Ye Sisi was so frightened by the cold wine that she screamed.

The eyes of everyone present were completely on the two of them.

Lin Wanwan replied coldly, "You still dare to come? Were you not taught enough? Or have you forgotten the warning from the Japanese princess?"

Ye Sisi's pupils suddenly shrank and she was shocked. She was really frightened by her words.

"I...I...haven't forgotten."

The smile on Ye Sisi's face suddenly froze, and she looked very embarrassed. She bit her lip, and her eyes instantly turned red. She stood there looking pitiful.

Ye Zhan, who was at the end, took a look and didn't want to care. As for Ye Sisi, he was afraid that she would remember the gold. After all, he had not yet given it to her.

Ye Zhan poured the wine and filled his stomach.

Seeing this, Wang Sha in the back row stood up angrily and said loudly:

"I originally thought that the princess that Lu Mu mentioned was a top-notch woman, but now it seems that she is not a good woman at all, a woman who does not follow etiquette and does not respect others!"

Her voice was particularly loud at the banquet, attracting everyone's attention.

Lu Mu stood up immediately: "Wang Sha! Watch your words!"

Wang Sha glared at Lu Mu when she heard that.

Lin Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly, then sat down and said calmly:

"General Wang Sha, don't jump to conclusions based on just this one aspect. I'm afraid you don't know the reason behind this."

Wang Sha snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and said with disdain, "Humph, I only saw you, Princess, embarrass the Crown Princess in public."

Lin Wanwan noticed Wang Sha's displeased look. Thinking of yesterday's misunderstanding, Wang Sha must be angry.

Wang Luda shouted angrily: "Sha'er! Don't be rude! Apologize to the princess!"

Wang Sha turned her head away: "I'm not wrong, what did I say wrong?"

Lin Wanwan's expression was as calm as water, and every word she spoke was clear and distinct:

"Yes, General Wang Sha, you are absolutely right.

This princess just wants to embarrass Ye Sisi.

Let her know that it is not so easy to get off the throne of this princess."

"It's all my fault...Princess...it's all my fault." Hua Yu's eyes were red and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Hua Yu. What happened? The county lord Hua Yu was actually crying? !

Hua Yu trembled slightly and cried in a weak voice, "I didn't want to say it, but I really... I really can't stand seeing Ye Sisi bullying people like this.

Everyone, please be wise and do not blame the princess wrongly.

It was Ye Sisi. She...she...teasing me many times, that's why the princess acted like this.

Even when the princess went to Pingyang City and the news of her death came, she still wanted to..."

At this point, Hua Yu was choked with sobs and could not continue speaking. He just kept sobbing, and his crying made the ministers feel distressed. They just felt that it was really difficult to be a county lord, as if the whole world owed him something.

As for the meaning of Hua Yu’s words.

Everyone present heard it clearly!
