……

Kyoto City.

The day after meeting Ye Lan.

Ouyang Qingyu sat in the study with a gloomy face. He calculated the date and found that Lin Xiaohe and Ye Sisi's wedding was approaching.

With a look of determination in his eyes, he stood up, walked to the deputy commander of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Rui, and lowered his voice and asked, "Zhang Rui, how many people in the Ministry of Justice prison have been executed after the autumn?"

Zhang Rui thought for a moment and said, "About two hundred people."

Ouyang Qingyu said: "Today, we will add Crane's Beak Red into the prison food of some serious criminals who will be executed in the autumn."

Zhang Rui's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he asked in surprise, "Sir, why?"

Ouyang Qingyu looked at Zhang Rui with deep eyes, his hands behind his back, and his eyes firmly looked out the window:

"The Crown Prince's wedding is imminent, and His Majesty is very likely to grant amnesty to the entire nation. These serious criminals are all extremely vicious and evil. If they are allowed to regain their freedom, these scum will still be scum.

Don’t give them that opportunity.”

Zhang Rui frowned and tried to persuade him: "Sir, is it against the law and humanity to do this?"

Ouyang Qingyu turned around abruptly, looked at Zhang Rui and said sternly:

"Law? Humanity? The crimes committed by these people are intolerable to heaven and they deserve to be killed.

At this moment, perhaps each of them is hoping that the prince will get married soon and that their crimes will be pardoned. If they escape punishment, it would be an injustice to the law and the people!

The case file stated that they contracted an epidemic in prison and these people died from the infection.

Zhang Rui, just execute it. "

Zhang Rui nodded and went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He summoned several jailers and handed over a bottle of Hedinghong in a low and suppressed voice:

"Add aragonite to the prison food of those serious criminals who will be executed in the autumn."

The jailers looked at each other in horror, but under Zhang Rui's strict supervision, they had no choice but to act.

When prison food mixed with thrush was delivered to each cell, a strange atmosphere suddenly filled the originally silent prison.

Those serious criminals wolfed down their prison meals, unaware that death was approaching.

Soon,

"It's poisonous! The food is poisonous!"

"what!"

"How dare you poison me!"

Inside the cell, screams were heard one after another.

Afterwards, the serious criminals fell to the ground one by one in agony, bleeding from all their orifices and twitching.

Zhang Rui stood outside the cell, watching the tragic scenes, then left in a hurry to report to Ouyang Qingyu.

now.

In another cell, former cabinet minister Li Da was imprisoned for stealing Lin Wanwan's test paper.

He witnessed it all with his own eyes. His eyes widened in horror, his whole body trembling, his heart filled with fear and despair:

"This is simply hell. Can't we give the criminals a chance to live?"

At this time, the prison staff handed over the food without any poison added to it to the outside of Li Da's cell.

"time to eat!"

How could Li Da dare to eat? He overturned the food with one hand and refused to eat.

After a few days, Li Da looked haggard.

He lay on the cold straw, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The jailers reported Li Da's hunger strike.

After Ouyang Qingyu learned about Li Da's hunger strike, he just frowned slightly and said, "Notify Li Da's wife and Li Lingyu and ask them to deliver food to the prison."

"Yes, sir." The guard hurried away.

Not long after.

Li Da's wife had a worried look on her face. She was carrying a heavy food box, and beside her, Li Lingyu, who also looked worried, hurried to the dark and damp prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The jailer led them to Li Da's cell and opened the door.

Mrs. Li Da and Li Lingyu walked into the cell and saw Li Da, looking haggard, lying in the corner, dying.

"Husband!" Mrs. Li Da cried out in grief, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly opened the lunch box and took out the still warm food.

Li Da opened his eyes with great effort, and when he saw his wife and children, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He struggled to sit up, took the bowl and chopsticks with trembling hands, and began to eat voraciously.

After eating a few bites, Li Da suddenly stopped and looked at Li Lingyu with an anxious and fierce look:

"Lingyu, I'm afraid that your father won't have much time left, but you must remember that in addition to the fifth princess Lin Meihua, there is also a seventh princess Lin Menghua."

Li Lingyu nodded, wondering what his father was going to say next, whether it was asking him to climb into the bed of the Seventh Princess Lin Menghua.

Li Da reminded while eating: "Lingyu, you have to find a way to attract the attention of the Seventh Princess, become her man, and then become a royal relative, so that you can protect your descendants in the future and fulfill your father's wish!"

Li Lingyu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that his father would still have such crazy ideas in such a desperate situation.

Li Da looked at his hesitant expression and said angrily, "Ling Yu, what are you still considering? Don't you care about the future generations of our Li family?"

"Father, I..." Li Lingyu still looked embarrassed.

Li Da was very angry when he saw this!

With a bang, Li Da dropped his bowl and chopsticks to the ground. "If you don't agree, I'd rather starve to death than eat your meal!"

"Father, I..." Li Lingyu was frightened and quickly knelt down.

His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. Even though he didn't want to have anything to do with these princesses anymore, he couldn't bear to refuse his father's threat of death. After all, that was his father's last hope and his lifelong wish.

Li Lingyu's expression changed again and again. Finally, under his father's resolute gaze, he gritted his teeth and nodded heavily:

"Don't worry, father. Lingyu will definitely do it."

Li Da's wife was standing by and when she heard these words, her face showed panic and shame. She wanted to stop him but didn't know how, so she could only shed tears in secret.

Li Da helped Li Lingyu up and was very satisfied with his words: "Okay, okay, with Lingyu's appearance and gentle personality, there will be no problem.

The prince will be getting married in a few days, you must seize this opportunity."

Li Lingyu nodded: "Yes, father."

……

Lin Wanwan was still on her way from Pingyang City to Kyoto City.

……

On the second day, Kyoto City was decorated with lanterns and red makeup filled the streets and alleys. The wedding ceremony of Crown Prince Lin Xiao and Ye Sisi was being held in grand style.

Inside the imperial palace, the magnificent and golden palace was decorated in a festive atmosphere, with bright red silk everywhere.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe was dressed in a gorgeous bright red wedding gown. Every step he took was firm and powerful. He looked energetic, with a smile on his face, unable to hide his heart full of joy and anticipation.

Ye Sisi, wearing a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, walked slowly forward with the support of her maid. She lowered her head slightly and secretly looked at the lively scene around her through the gap in the red veil.

She was nervous but also extremely happy: She finally became the Crown Princess! As long as she became the Crown Princess, it wouldn't take long for their Ye family to turn things around.

Lin Moyun sat high on the dragon throne, feeling extremely happy!

On the one hand, Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe got married.

Secondly, he met with the special envoy sent by Mu Guangran, the ruler of Zijin Kingdom, yesterday.

The purpose of the special envoy's visit: to send a letter seeking peace.

The letter mentioned: The two countries have been seeking peace for fifty years.

Lin Moyun had already agreed to Mu Guangran's request for peace. The thought of being able to sit back and relax for fifty years was so satisfying!

He looked at Lin Xiao and Ye Sisi walking into the hall with a gratified smile on his face, and said in a loud and powerful voice:

"My dear ministers, today is the auspicious day for the wedding of Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe. The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne of the country, and his wedding is truly a grand event for our dynasty.

I am very pleased, and hereby grant amnesty to the whole world from this golden palace."

When the courtiers heard this, they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Long live Your Majesty!"

Lin Moyun raised his hand to signal the ministers to stand up, and then said:

“I hope that this amnesty will demonstrate the benevolence of my dynasty and allow the people of the world to feel my care and love.

May our dynasty enjoy good weather, peace and prosperity, and may the Crown Prince and Crown Princess live in harmony, so that our dynasty can flourish and create a prosperous and glorious era for the Xuanyue Kingdom!"

Then, all the ministers came to pay homage, and voices of congratulations rang out one after another, filling the entire Golden Palace with an atmosphere of joy and peace.

After a bunch of cumbersome formalities, Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe and Crown Princess Ye Sisi completed the ceremony and both returned to the East Palace.

The palace banquet was already very lively.

The court officials sat around tables filled with delicacies, toasting each other and laughing happily.

The musicians played cheerful music and the dancers danced gracefully.

Lin Moyun was also immersed in the celebratory atmosphere, enjoying this rare feast to the fullest.

But gradually, Lin Moyun sat in the main seat. Although he had a smile on his face, he could not hide his tiredness. He narrowed his eyes slightly and felt waves of sleepiness coming over him.

Finally, he waved his hand and signaled to Concubine Lin beside him: "I am tired, let's go back to the palace to rest first."

Concubine Lin was a little worried and stood up quickly: "I will go with Your Majesty."

Lin Moyun nodded.

After saying this, the two of them slowly left the table amid the farewells of the crowd.

At the banquet, Ye Sisi's father Ye Zhaobo, mother Wang Yinyi and brother Ye Zhan were surrounded by a group of court officials.

Their faces were flushed from drinking, and they accepted everyone's congratulations with smugness and pride in their eyes.

"Lord Ye, congratulations! Your daughter has become the Crown Princess. The Ye family will surely prosper in the future!" a court official said flatteringly.

Ye Zhaobo bowed and smiled, saying, "I am happy for you. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Wang Yinyi smiled from ear to ear and kept thanking everyone.

While Ye Zhan was toasting with his ministers, he was extremely proud and held his head high: his sister had become the Crown Princess, and he himself had become a powerful figure!

Outside the palace, the people were also immersed in the festivities, laughing and talking, sharing their joy with each other.

On the bustling streets of Kyoto City, the owners of the four major shops gathered near the Prince's Mansion, staring intently. They saw that the Prince's Mansion was decorated with lights and red silks fluttering, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Not long after, Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe appeared riding a snow-white horse, wearing a bright red wedding dress, with his hair tied up with a golden crown, looking extraordinarily handsome.

The team behind him was huge and the drums and music were playing.

Ye Sisi was sitting in the eight-man sedan chair, which slowly stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion.

Lin Xiao jumped off the horse swiftly and gracefully.

He walked steadily to the front of the sedan chair, stretched out his hand, and gently opened the curtain.

Ye Sisi was seen wearing a phoenix crown, a red scarf covering her face, and a shawl that made her look dignified and beautiful.

Ye Sisi raised her jade hand gently, placed it on Lin Xiaohe's hand, and slowly stood up.

Lin Xiaohe carefully supported her and walked out of the sedan.

Right under the noses of the four shop owners, the two of them walked hand in hand into the Prince's Mansion.

The four shop owners hurried away, each with a look of ecstasy on their faces, yet they could not hide their greed.

"Look, I said Ye Sisi would become the Crown Princess."

"Haha, this prince dotes on her quite a bit, and is willing to pay a hundred times for the items she buys."

Boss Zhao looked worried and sighed, "Humph, even if she becomes the Crown Princess, so what? The Crown Prince's Mansion still owes us money!"

Boss Qian also said: "That's right, have you forgotten what the old nanny said before, that the Prince's Mansion wants to default on the debt and doesn't want to pay?

The 100-fold repayment was supposed to be paid at the end of the month, but it has been delayed for two days.”

Boss Sun was delighted and said while calculating on his abacus: "What are you afraid of? The interest is compounded, and Ye Sisi owes 98,000 taels of gold!"

Boss Li said with a smile: "Let's wait and see. If they still don't pay after the prince's wedding, we will go to the prince's mansion to demand the money.

You have to give an explanation and pay the money."
