The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

At noon that day, the news that Wen Tingshen had contradicted the prince spread everywhere. It was also rumored that the prince was so furious that he drove Wen Tingshen out of Mingde Hall. Wen Tingshen was injured when he was driven out, with blood all over his forehead.

All the eunuchs and palace maids serving outside the Mingde Hall witnessed it with their own eyes.

Soon, news spread that Wen Tingshen had been demoted to Liangzhou, and the prince ordered him to leave Shengjing City within three days.

But Wen Tingshen was so angry that he left Shengjing City angrily that night. For a while, everyone was talking about this matter.

"How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so unable to distinguish between loyalty and treachery? Lord Wen is a good official! He was demoted for merely contradicting him!" This statement was so widespread that it almost spread throughout Shengjing City.

Naturally, the palace couldn't keep it secret, and even Xie Lin himself heard about it, but he didn't care.

If there really were unusual movements in Yizhou, it would be too easy to arouse people's vigilance if Wen Tingshen was directly demoted to Yizhou at this time.

Therefore, Xie Lin "demoted" him to Liangzhou, which was adjacent to Yizhou.

Only he and Wen Tingshen knew about this matter, so many people in the court pleaded for Wen Tingshen.

Xie Lin sent out a message: "I know what I am doing in demoting Lord Wen. If I hear anyone pleading for Lord Wen again, I will drag him out and give him thirty strokes of the cane and dismiss him from office!"

There were actually people who continued to plead for Wen Tingshen, and Xie Lin really dragged him down, beat him with a stick, and dismissed him from his post and sent him home.

After this happened two or three times, the court officials finally calmed down and no one dared to mention Wen Tingshen's demotion again.

On this day, the weather cleared up, cement was produced in large quantities, and the Ministry of Works had already drawn up a route to rebuild the road.

Because it was the first time that cement was used in road construction, on the first day of construction, Xie Lin brought Chu Heyi and Tong Xiling to the site and watched the workers start work.

Because the weather was fine, the road surface was dry the next day. The people looked at the newly built cement road and praised it highly.

The matter of Wen Tingshen was temporarily forgotten by them. Now they focused their energy on praising Tong Xiling's talent and her contributions to Daqi.

Xie Lin also ordered people to send the cement manufacturing method to Changqing City, along with a lot of materials and money.

When the group left, Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and Tong Xiling were still the ones who went to see them off. Tong Xiling listened to everyone's praises for her.

Tong Xiling was very happy about this. Whenever Xie Lin went out to talk about cement, he would take her with him and let her receive everyone's praise and worship.

She became more and more convinced that Xie Lin believed that she was the real Chu Heyi. Xie Lin did this probably to pave the way for her to become the Crown Princess in the future.

It’s just hateful that every time she goes out, Chu Heyi is by her side, which makes Tong Xiling very annoyed.

She believed that the only reason Chu Heyi was able to follow them out was because she still temporarily held the status of the Crown Princess.

This made Tong Xiling want to kick Chu Heyi out of the position of Crown Princess and make room for herself.

She needs to plan carefully.

Xie Lin's high-profile behavior reached the ears of Runxue and his wife at the fastest speed. The couple were very satisfied with the result.

Runxue said: "From today on, we can also start using cement to build roads, city walls, and houses."

Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "Xue'er is smart. This move is really powerful. If Xie Lin wants to attack our Yanzhou City in the future, there will be no hope. But if we want to fight back to Shengjing City, it will be easy."

After thinking for a while, he said, "After the cement incident, even if Xie Lin can make money again, the money in the treasury will not be enough for him. Moreover, as long as we attack, the roads, walls, and houses in Shengjing City will collapse like tofu. At that time, he will be doomed to be unable to face the people of Daqi and will definitely lose."

There was a venomous smile in Runxue's eyes: "I said, I won't let you lose! We will be the final kings!"

Runxue added: "Now that Xie Lin has completely believed that Tong Xiling is the real Chu Heyi, then we should help Tong Xiling and get rid of Chu Heyi who is staying with Xie Lin!"

Dongfang Shuo's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Yes, the sooner the better, lest Xie Lin find out. As long as Chu Heyi is dead, we won't be afraid even if he finds out the truth in the future. Maybe he will be even more devastated after discovering the truth, which will be more conducive to our return to Shengjing City and take back everything that belongs to us."

"Let me think about what I should do to achieve the best effect." Runxue said as she paced slowly around the room.

Dongfang Shuo did not disturb her, but just stood aside quietly, waiting for her result.

……

In Yanzhou City, the news that cement was being used in various aspects was quickly delivered to Xie Lin.

Late at night, Xie Lin went to Changning Palace in person and told Chu Heyi the news.

Chu Heyi had already changed her clothes and gone to bed. When she heard Xie Lin coming, she quickly stood up and tried to get out of bed, but Xie Lin had already walked around the screen and came to the bedside, pressing down on her shoulders so that she didn't have to get up.

Chu Heyi sat in the quilt, leaning against the pillow, talking to Xie Lin. Rui Ma and others retreated outside the hall to guard.

After hearing the news from Yanzhou City, she said, "Runxue is really tolerant. Cement was clearly invented by her, but she can give the reputation of her invention to Tong Xiling, allowing Tong Xiling to be praised by people all over the world."

Xie Lin said: "She is really cruel. She fiddled with the proportions and wanted us to spend a lot of money to create a false prosperity, but in the end it was vulnerable."

Chu Heyi asked, "If there was no second anonymous list, what would you have done? Would you really adopt Tong Xiling's method completely?"

Xie Lin replied: "Of course not. I will have people research and improve the list. It will be applied everywhere only when it is strong enough. However, the anonymous list has shortened our time and also weakened Tong Xiling or the Runxue couple's suspicion of us. They must have thought that we were using their list."

Chu Heyi laughed: "When did you confirm that I was me and Tong Xiling was a fake? When she said she could come up with a method to make cement?"

"Do you think it will take me that long to identify my wife?" Xie Lin looked at her with burning eyes. "The night she took me to salvage the body, I was sure she was a fake."

Chu Heyi became interested: "It was so long ago? How did you find out? She not only salvaged the body, but also the remains of the horse, and even took out the jade pendant you gave me. How can you be sure that she is not mine?"

Xie Lin smiled: "I asked her what you said to me when you broke up with me, and she answered me..."

Xie Lin told Chu Heyi what Tong Xiling's answer was at that time.

Chu Heyi was so shocked that his face turned pale. "That's exactly what I said to you at the time. She's not me. How could you say it so clearly? And you were able to determine from that that she wasn't me? How did you judge that?"
