The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Seeing that Su Ye didn't seem so angry anymore, Zhang Zhirang also leaned towards Lin Wanwan and said proudly, "Princess, isn't my idea good?"

Lin Wanwan nodded and praised: "Well, you are really a genius inventor. How are the firecrackers?"

Zhang Zhirang scratched his head and smiled: "It should be done in these two days."

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Okay, make a few for this princess, and take them to Pingyang City. In case of any unexpected events, they can also be used for self-defense."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yu held the carefully prepared cold ointment in her hands, her eyes full of tenderness and concern, and presented the exquisite box with both hands, saying softly:

“My Lady, this is the cold ointment I prepared for you.

In Pingyang City, where the weather is hot, I specially added mint to the roses. After applying it, it is not only cool and refreshing, but also has a cool fragrance.

This is the unique flavor of Yunhai Country. I hope that whenever you use it, you will always think of Hua Yu."

Lin Wanwan took the box and the moment she opened it, a fresh fragrance filled her nose. She looked at Hua Yu and said:

"it is good."

At this time, Qingqing came out with tea and saw Fentao at the back. She brought the tea to Lin Wanwan and said:

"Princess, Fen Tao is behind us and looks like something is wrong."

Lin Wanwan turned around after hearing this and asked, "Pink Peach?"

Fen Tao then hurried over and knelt down in front of Lin Wanwan with a plop:

"Princess, I heard from my wife that Master Ye from the West Courtyard went to His Majesty to complain about you. He also said...he also said that he wanted to put you to death."

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly when she heard this, with a chill in her eyes: "This princess, I understand. Fentao, you can go back."

Fen Tao nodded twice: "Yeah."

Fen Tao got up and ran back.

Hua Yu frowned as he looked at the direction where Fen Tao ran, and became worried: "Princess, what should we do?"

"Yeah, it's okay. It's time to sweep out the garbage at home." Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and glanced at them, and said lightly: "Okay, it's cold at night, everyone should go home."

"Sweep the garbage?" Zhang Zhirang was embarrassed when he heard that. He said, "I'll clean up here first, then..."

Nanny Li, who was standing by, saw everything and was filled with gratitude towards them. How could she let Zhang Zhirang clean the place?

"Master Zhang, just let the servants clean up, you can go and have a rest."

Zhang Zhirang bowed and said, "Thank you very much."

Ye Lan jumped up and disappeared without a trace.

Su Ye stood there, unwilling to leave: "Princess, it's still early, how about we chat for a while?"

Hua Yu said: "Mr. Su, you should wash your face as soon as possible."

Lin Wanwan looked at Su Ye with a faint smile, as if she saw his father Su Mingde.

Prince Yong is no longer around, and Lin Wanwan plans to protect those who support him.

She was not familiar with the others, so she would protect Su Mingde and Qin Niangzi.

Lin Wanwan said, "Su Ye, you go back first. After the funeral of Prince Yong is over, I will go to your house to see you."

"The princess is coming to my house to see me?" Su Ye was overjoyed when he heard this and said happily, "Really? Princess?!"

Lin Wanwan said: "Really."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the princess." Su Ye left with a relaxed and happy pace.

……

And this moment.

The residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

In Ouyang Qingyu's study, the flickering candlelight cast his shadow on the wall.

Ouyang Qingyu sat upright in front of the desk, and said to the guard leader Qin Jun in front of him with a serious look:

"Qin Jun, after Prince Yong's funeral, you and the people from the Ministry of Revenue will raid Hongyue Tower.

Remember, don't take any gold or silver inside.

All of them were handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for inspection.

During this trip, you must find the guest list of the private room on the second floor that Zhang Qing mentioned, and then hand it over to me."

Qin Jun bowed and saluted, and said, "Why don't we search now?"

Ouyang Qingyu did not answer, but he was thinking in his heart that he should give the princess some time.

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sharp and deep look in his eyes: "Surround them but don't block them, leaving a gap, let Madam Qin go."

"Yes, sir." Qin Jun saluted.

Ouyang Qingyu reminded: "This matter is extremely important. We must not let the news leak out, and we must not make any mistakes. We must be extremely careful."

Qin Jun nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will act cautiously."

"Also, take out half of the silver from the treasury. After you have confiscated Hongyue Tower, send it to the Princess's residence to fill the treasury."

Qin Jun heard this and nodded, "Yes, sir, won't you send it off in person?"

Ouyang Qingyu looked uncertain and waved his hand gently: "Go down and get ready."

Qin Jun bowed again and turned to leave the study.

As the door closed gently, Ouyang Qingyu turned his gaze back to the chessboard on the table.

Take out a white piece and hold it in the palm of your hand.

Rest your head on your hands.

I remembered what Lin Wanwan said in the carriage.

Let's break up.

My heart aches so much again that I can't breathe.

I gave her my whole heart.

His princess doesn't want him anymore.

……

The news that the Fifth Princess Lin Meihua was rejected in marriage and had a tantrum in the Princess's Mansion reached the ears of Concubine Li in the palace.

Princess Li was restless, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of worry:

"What should I do? Why is my Meihua so crazy?"

The second prince Lin Xiaoran comforted him, "Don't worry, mother. I will go to the Fifth Princess's residence to see my sister."

Concubine Li hurried forward, held Lin Xiaoran's hand, and said anxiously: "Xiaoran, go quickly and find out what is going on and what is Meihua's current condition."

"Okay." Lin Xiaoran nodded, turned and left.

Concubine Li chased after him for a few more steps, grabbed his clothes, and warned him: "When you see Meihua, tell her not to worry about the marriage. Mother will also find a way to help her."

Lin Xiaoran responded and quickened his pace to walk out of the palace.

Princess Li looked at his receding back, her worry in her heart not diminished in the slightest.

Outside the palace, the sunlight was a little dazzling, and Lin Xiaoran's followers had already prepared the carriage.

Lin Xiaoran stepped onto the carriage with a serious look on his face.

"Hurry, rush to the Fifth Princess's Mansion."

Lin Xiaoran gave an order and the carriage sped away.

The wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Xiaoran sat in the car with a heavy heart, constantly thinking about how to comfort his sister after seeing her.

A magnificent carriage hurried over and stopped at the gate of the Fifth Princess's Mansion.

The servant outside the princess's mansion did not dare to stop him when he saw that the visitor was the second prince.

"Lead the way."

"Yes." A servant hurriedly led Lin Xiaoran into the Fifth Princess's Mansion and walked straight to Lin Meihua's bedroom.

The light in the bedroom had been blocked out, and it was completely dark inside, with only a few flickering candlelight.

Lin Meihua was sitting on the ground with a dull look on her face, staring at the darkness outside the window in a daze. When she heard someone coming, she subconsciously frowned and shouted:

"roll!"

"Meihua." Hearing the familiar voice, she turned her head suddenly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Royal brother, you are finally here!" Lin Meihua stood up, walked quickly towards the second prince, and threw herself into Lin Xiaoran's arms.

Lin Xiaoran frowned, looking at the scattered jewelry and porcelain fragments, his eyes full of worry:

“Meihua, you’ve suffered.”

Lin Meihua snorted coldly and said angrily: "This is all caused by that damn Lin Wanwan! How could I end up being grounded!

If it weren't for her, how could Ouyang Qingyu refuse the marriage proposal? "

Lin Xiaoran patted her back gently and comforted her:

"Don't be angry, Meihua. I came here today to tell you two important things."

Lin Meihua asked anxiously: "Brother, please tell me!"

Lin Xiaoran lowered his voice and said, "First, Prince Yong is dead. Lin Wanwan is in charge of his funeral affairs, and the emperor asked us to go and pay our respects."

Lin Meihua was delighted when she heard this and asked excitedly, "Are you telling the truth? Father, do you mean that I can leave the palace now?"

Lin Xiaoran nodded: "Although my father didn't say it explicitly, this is what he meant."

"Haha..." Lin Meihua sneered, "At Prince Yong's funeral, this princess must thank Lin Wanwan."

"No." Lin Xiaoran interrupted hurriedly, "Lin Wanwan will go to Pingyang City in a few days. If you attack Lin Wanwan at Prince Yong's funeral, the emperor will definitely investigate thoroughly."

"But we can't let her go!" Lin Meihua's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Meihua, Lin Wanwan has performed well recently." Lin Xiaoran thought in a low voice: "I plan to win over Lin Wanwan first."

Lin Meihua was furious and pushed his chest and said, "Brother, are you crazy?! Are you attracted to her too?

Are you trying to win her over? To boost her morale?

Can you bear to see me, your younger sister, being bullied by her?

Brother Emperor, Meihua knows very well that you want to sit on that seat.

If you just help me get rid of Lin Wanwan, she will be the only one to die!

I must get Ouyang Qingyu.

As long as you get Ouyang Qingyu

Let him help his brother take that seat."

Lin Xiaoran was silent, his brows gradually furrowed, and he thought deeply.

Lin Meihua said: "Royal brother, think about it, if Ouyang Qingyu helps Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe, who around you can fight him for a few moves?"

Lin Xiaoran pondered for a moment. Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe was already engaged to the daughter of Ye Zhaobo, the Censorate. Currently, he lacked any power in the court.

If Ouyang Qingyu could really be his helper.

For him, it was like a fish in water.

Lin Xiaoran said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see. First, try to win over Lin Wanwan. If she doesn't know what's best for her, or if she makes friends with the crown prince and the third brother..."

"What are you trying to win over?" Lin Meihua said angrily, "I can't tolerate her at all!"

Lin Xiaoran said: "Don't worry, Meihua. If Lin Wanwan doesn't accept my kindness, I will set up an ambush on her way to Pingyang City and make sure she never returns, so that we can eliminate the trouble forever!"

Lin Meihua secretly made a decision in her heart that when she went to pay her respects to Prince Yong tomorrow, she would make sure Lin Xiaoran felt that Lin Wanwan could never be used by him.

Lin Meihua smiled and said, "Okay. My brother, just try it this way. If Lin Wanwan refuses to befriend you, then you must not be soft-hearted."

Lin Xiaoran finally nodded:

"Okay, Meihua, I promise you."

Lin Meihua showed a ferocious smile on her face and asked for confirmation: "Are we going to kill her on the way to Pingyang City?"

Lin Xiaoran took a deep breath and said, "I will arrange the most elite assassins to set up an ambush on the road outside Pingyang City.

But Lin Wanwan must have guards around her, so we need to be fully prepared."

"I don't care!" Lin Meihua gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how much it costs, I will make her die!"

Lin Xiaoran looked at his sister's crazy look, and a trace of worry surged in his heart:

"In that case, Meihua, you just wait here for news and we will go to pay our respects to Prince Yong together tomorrow.

Don't do these crazy things and make your mother worry."

"No! How am I crazy? As long as my brother keeps his word, I will be very obedient."

Lin Xiaoran nodded, turned and left.

Lin Meihua looked at his departing back, her heart full of anticipation.

"Ha ha……"
