He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Shen Wan had to admire Xie Jingyan's thoughtfulness. She only wanted to use her merits to ask the emperor for a marriage. This could only fulfill her cousin and the head of Qinghe County. However, the result of getting a gold medal to avoid death was completely different. Not only could her cousin get her wish , and can also save the life of Prince Yeonpyeong.

This is still the worst case scenario. If Prince Yanping could escape that disaster, he would not need a gold medal for immunity from death. It would be much easier for the Yun family with a gold medal to marry the princess of Huai'an.

The Prince of Yanping didn't dare to accept the death gold medal as a betrothal gift. It wasn't because he didn't want it. As long as the emperor agreed or even offered a word or two of persuasion, wouldn't it be done?

Thinking of this, Shen Wan calmed down. However, just as she was calming down, the smooth carriage suddenly stopped, and Chen Feng's voice came, "Master, the eldest prince is looking for you."

Xie Jingyan opened the curtain and saw the eldest prince who was blocking their way coming on horseback.

Xie Jingyan said, "Did King Qin have something to do with me?"

The eldest prince looked at Xie Jingyan and said with a cold expression, "Sixth brother stabbed me in the back without saying a word."

Xie Jingyan said, "Speak clearly if you have something to say."

The eldest prince stopped beating around the bush and said, "You were the one who sent someone to check the Meizhou granary."

It turned out that he was blocking his way for this matter. Xie Jingyan glanced at the eldest prince and said, "You owe me a favor for this matter."

The eldest prince smiled angrily, "I owe you a favor?"

Xie Jingyan was also laughing, "You should know very well what is the situation in Meizhou today. Without the Yun family's preparation in advance to transport grain and medicinal materials to Meizhou, once the official road in Meizhou was collapsed, the grain would not be transported in, and there would be no food in the granary. Has King Qin thought about the consequences of food relief?"

The eldest prince's face froze, and his back felt cold.

However, the eldest prince's expression soon recovered, and he said, "Since the sixth brother wants to sell me a favor, why not do it more simply and tell me about the Meizhou earthquake in advance."

The smile on Xie Jingyan's face deepened, "Pingyang Hou Shizi holds the emperor's token and goes to Meizhou in person, but he can't convince the Meizhou officialdom that there is an earthquake. Does King Qin think that if you just give an order, everyone in Meizhou will take your words seriously? "

"The lives of tens of thousands of people are at stake. King Qin dares to bet, but I don't."

The eldest prince had nothing to say.

Because what Xie Jingyan said is true.

Meizhou officialdom paid a heavy price for their pride.

The eldest prince looked at Xie Jingyan, "How did the sixth brother know that there would be an earthquake in Meizhou late that night?"

He knew it so accurately that it was terrifying.

But no matter how curious the eldest prince was, Xie Jingyan would not tell him that it was Shen Wan who dreamed about it. He said, "I can only tell you that in two months there will be heavy rains for several days in Xizhou, and the Xizhou dam will burst."

The eldest prince's eyes narrowed, "The Xizhou Dam was only repaired last year, how could it collapse so quickly?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I learned about the Xizhou dam breach and the Meizhou earthquake on the same day. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Putting down the car curtain, Xie Jingyan said, "Go back home."

The boy continued to drive the carriage forward.

Watching the carriage go away, the eldest prince could not relax his brows.

No matter how heavy the rainstorm in Xizhou is, the newly built embankment cannot break so easily. It must be that corners were cut during construction.

If this is true, then he really owes King Ling a big favor.

The eldest prince turned around and went to the Ministry of Works.

In the carriage, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, "You told the eldest prince about the Xizhou Dam and asked him to investigate it?"

If she remembered correctly, Xie Jingyin's people were responsible for building the Xizhou Dam. In the previous life, the Xizhou Dam was washed away by floods and flooded several nearby villages. Even the town was not spared. When the emperor found out, he was furious and compared to I am still angry about the Meizhou earthquake. After all, the earthquake is a natural disaster, while the dam may be a man-made disaster.

The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the Xizhou Dam case, but he died before the results of the investigation could be found. After Xie Jingyin ascended the throne, although the case was also investigated, several officials responsible for building the dam were killed and the matter was settled. That’s it.

Thinking that the officials of the imperial court were greedy and had to scrape off all the money they handled, which ultimately led to the people's deprivation of life, my cousin sent an extra 400,000 taels to the court without even frowning. In this way, there were many twists and turns in trying to marry the county boss of Qinghe. I don't know when I will be able to do so. As wished.

Xie Jingyan said, "Let the eldest prince investigate. If there is really a problem with the Xizhou Dam, King Jin's people will definitely try their best to stop it. The emperor will deal with it more carefully."

Doing this will not only allow the eldest prince to fight with the King of Jin, but also help the people of Xizhou, why not do it?

Shen Wan had seen Xie Jingyan's methods more than once. If he was serious about seeking the throne, the eldest prince and the King of Jin might not be his match if they teamed up.

By the time they returned to Prince Ling's Mansion, it was already time for lunch. Before leaving, Yin Shuang told them that the small kitchen did not need to prepare their meals. They would eat in Pingyang Hou Mansion. The small kitchen was really unprepared. As a result, they came back again. I must have missed lunch when I came back, so I hurriedly prepared it.

Time was short and they only had time to make a few side dishes, so Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan just had a meal.

After eating, Shen Wan felt sleepy. After resting for a quarter of an hour, she couldn't bear to go to bed.

I slept for a full hour before I woke up. When I woke up, I was sitting on the bed and stretching. Yinshuang ran in with a bang, her eyes sparkling on her delicate face, "Princess, the old lady asked you to persuade the second wife. When the Marquis found out, he was very angry and ordered the second master to go to the second wife's natal Cao family to plead guilty, and also asked the old lady to move to a Buddhist temple to recuperate until she recovers."

Yinshuang grinned, feeling so happy.

The Marquis must have punished the old lady for showing partiality and doing disgusting things. Unfortunately, with the word "filial piety" on her head, the Marquis could not do anything to the old lady and punished the old lady to go to the Buddhist hall to reflect. , and under the guise of recovering from illness, the old lady should be allowed to stay in the Buddhist temple for the rest of her life, so as to prevent her from having too much fun and having nothing to do all day long.

Shen Wan had slept well and was already in a good mood. Hearing this comforting news made her even better, so she immediately rewarded Yinshuang with two taels of silver.

Father knew that this matter definitely did not come from Qinghui Court, it could only be spread by Yinshuang in the garden, and he would definitely be rewarded.

Yinshuang was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

Shen Wan got off the bed. Yin Shuang helped her get dressed and washed her face a little. Hai Tang brought a bowl of lotus seed soup over. Shen Wan took a sip and said, "It tastes good. Have you given it to the prince?"

Haitang said, "The prince has entered the palace."

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Wan's eyes.

Why did Xie Jingyan enter the palace again? Didn't he and his eldest brother enter the palace just this morning?

Shen Wan asked, "Did the emperor summon the prince to the palace?"

Haitang shook his head, "The Emperor did not summon you..."

Shen Wan continued to eat the lotus seed soup, curious in her heart. Last time Xie Jingyan took the initiative to enter the palace to help her eldest brother propose marriage, and even had to have lunch with the emperor. She didn't know why she came to the palace now...

Thinking like this, Dong'er ran in from outside and said, "Princess, it's not good, the prince was beaten by the emperor!"
