Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Prince Qing saw that the person who came to plead for mercy was his distant relative, Xiao Se, the son of Prince Ruyang who came from Ruyang. Xiao Se had always been an inconspicuous person in the Imperial Academy, and he only knew about such a person now. In the past, he would have definitely let it go like this. However, today, that person was the companion of the emperor's eldest grandson and stood on the side of his father's mortal enemy. How could he easily let it go?

Xiao Se clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. His grandmother had told him when he entered the palace that he should be patient if possible, but he didn't expect that Prince Qing would make a fuss over such a trivial matter.

"Prince Qing, my cousin just doesn't know the taboos of Prince Qing. He has learned his lesson this time and will not make the same mistake again. Please forgive me and don't take it to heart. It would be bad if these conflicts were heard by the Saint."

Xiao Se hoped that Prince Qing would save his face and make the matter a small one.

Unexpectedly, when Prince Qing heard this, he immediately exploded, just like his father.

Like an irrational black bear, very scary.

"What are you talking about? I am the eldest in the Imperial Academy, and my grandfather loves me the most. He will agree to whatever I want to do."

It was almost time for Lu Haojie to go to school, and Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren discussed sending Lu Haojie to school.

"Haojie has to go to school tomorrow too. I'll take you to court then. I don't have to go to the store."

Now Xia Yingying no longer needs to go to the store to make pastries. Basically, she can be a hands-off boss in everything. However, Xia Yingying is used to being busy and cannot rest. So, Xia Yingying goes to the pastry shop on time every day, works for a while and then comes back to write her storybook.

Since Xia Yingying had to send Lu Haojie to school, it was okay for her not to go to the pastry shop.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lu Ziren said.

"Haoran, you send it off, and Haojie, I'll send it off. It's not hard at all." Xia Yingying said this, and she thought so in her heart.

Song Ruyi was originally going to go, but Lu Yurou had to be left alone at home, so Song Ruyi took care of the child at home.

"Mom, Jingjing and I have made an appointment. We will go there in a carriage when the time comes." Lu Haojie said to Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying knew that Lu Haojie and Jingjing had a good relationship, so she agreed, but she asked him, "Did Jingjing's mother ask you to bring me any news?"

Lu Haojie went to Jingjing's house to play today. Since Lu Haojie said that he would go to school with Jingjing tomorrow, it was also agreed by Wang.

Wang should have made arrangements early on and would let Lu Haojie tell Xia Yingying what happened next, so Xia Yingying asked about it.

"Yes." Lu Haojie said as he took out a note from his sleeve pocket and put it in Xia Yingying's palm.

After Xia Yingying unfolded the note and read the words on it, she said to Lu Haojie, "Tomorrow when we go to the Imperial College, let's stop near Jingjing's house. You can take a carriage, and Jingjing's mother and I will ride in the same carriage. Don't bully Jingjing then."

"I'm Jingjing's brother. Would I bully my sister?" Lu Haojie said with a pout, feeling a little aggrieved.

"I know you won't hurt Jingjing, I just mentioned it to you casually." Xia Yingying immediately felt that these words hurt Lu Haojie and explained immediately.

"Oh, okay." When Lu Haojie heard Xia Yingying say this, the grievance in his heart slowly dissipated.

In the court that day.

As usual, the Sixth Prince's faction and the Crown Prince's faction started to attack each other.

Huang Zhengming had been told by Lu Ziren that the Sixth Prince might cause trouble for him recently and asked him to be prepared. He thought that with the Sixth Prince's impatient temper, he would definitely teach him a lesson today, but he did not encounter any difficulties.

It was not until after the court session that Huang Zhengming was on his way out of the palace when a young eunuch said that a noble in the palace was looking for him. He frowned but followed the person anyway.

But he didn't expect that the noble person the eunuch was talking about was the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince was waiting for him at the entrance of the cold palace. When Huang Zhengming arrived, the Sixth Prince walked straight to his side. He glanced at Huang Zhengming, then walked in front of him and said to him, "Are you free now? I want to talk to you."

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince wants to talk, how dare I disobey you?"

At this time, there were no palace maids or eunuchs around, and the officials who had left the court had returned home one after another.

"Very good, you have colluded with Lu Ziren now. Are you still confused today? Why don't I use your evidence to bring you to justice?"

The Sixth Prince said this to Huang Zhengming.

"Sixth Prince, just speak frankly. You know I have always stood by you. It was you, Sixth Prince, who wanted to put me to death, so I had no choice but to resort to self-protection. Wherever I am, I am a minister of Daliang, and I am devoted to Daliang."

Huang Zhengming would not admit that he was on the prince's side.

He was also very confused by the Sixth Prince's behavior. They had clearly already fallen out with each other, so why was he still shamelessly talking nonsense to him?

"I came to you today because I have something to tell you. I know you have a lot of evidence of my subordinates' crimes, but don't be careless. I also have a lot of leverage over you. If you dare to leak that information, then we will be in a fight to the death." The Sixth Prince threatened.

"Sixth Prince, you are really embarrassing me. How dare a small follower like me compare my fate with yours? If we fight to the death, then my whole family will not be able to survive."

"Stop playing tricks on me. I know what you want to do. You have now surrendered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the evidence of those officials' crimes leaks out from you, I will send your whole family to hell. Didn't the previous King Kang die in my hands?" The Sixth Prince walked up to Huang Zhengming and said in a sinister voice.

When Huang Zhengming thought of the previous big case of Prince Kang, his scalp suddenly went numb and cold sweats broke out. He did not expect that the mastermind behind Prince Kang's case was actually the Sixth Prince.

He always thought it was King Kang...

When the Sixth Prince saw Huang Zhengming showing a hint of fear when he heard that he was the mastermind behind the incident involving Prince Kang, he immediately felt that Huang Zhengming was too unscared.

The Sixth Prince sneered, then walked away from Huang Zhengming nonchalantly.

After the Sixth Prince left, Lu Ziren slowly walked out from the side.

Lu Ziren's eyes were bloodshot, and his veins were bulging. It was very abnormal at first glance.

Lu Ziren heard the Sixth Prince admit in person that Prince Kang's death was closely related to the Sixth Prince.

Lu Ziren was so agitated that he wished he could chop the Sixth Prince into pieces and let wild dogs eat his body.

But reason told him that he couldn't do that. He could only plan slowly and carefully put all those evil people on the scales of justice and punish them one by one.

A pair of black boots slowly appeared in front of Huang Zhengming's eyes. Huang Zhengming looked up in confusion and saw that it was Lu Ziren. He immediately asked in surprise, "General Lu, why haven't you gone back yet?"

"I saw the Sixth Prince talking to you, and I was worried that something might happen to you, so I followed you."

"General Lu, you don't look very well. Are you sick?"

"No. I'm fine." Lu Ziren said coldly.

Seeing Lu Ziren like this, Huang Zhengming did not ask any further questions. He just smiled bitterly and complained to Lu Ziren.

"It's all fate. I originally thought that I could rise to the top in the officialdom under the control of the Sixth Prince, but I never thought that I would become a small fry under the hands of a jackal, and end up being eaten alive by him.

I was too confident, too conceited, and too naive. Fortunately, there is still a chance to save everything. When you asked me to leave the Sixth Prince, I thought you might be deliberately trying to hurt me.

But because of your kindness in saving my daughter, I didn't bother with you, but now it seems that you are the only one who is most alert in this matter. " ", please vote"
