These are all good places.

Do you want to train him as your confidant?

The nobles were so greedy that their envy turned into jealousy, and when they drank and chatted, their eyes met, and their expressions were filled with naked hatred.

Men are just that simple sometimes.

It was so simple that they wanted to tear down the Han family’s building before it was even built.

We are all in the same crow's nest, so why should he fly out and become a golden phoenix?

With more and more wine and the regent's increasing praise, Prince Han's already weak vigilance became less and less.

Soon he was drifting away.

He became arrogant, so Mo Chengying began to make trouble secretly and entangled him with just a few words.

"While we are happy today, if you have any other requests, just tell me and I will definitely satisfy you."

Prince Han is of the same age as the Regent, but his mind is far from that of the Regent.

As soon as he was happy, he knelt down and expressed his innermost thoughts.

Mo Chengying listened with great interest, playing with the wine cup with his slender fingers, and patiently waited for Han Xiucheng to finish speaking before slowly saying:

"Does the prince want to marry Liu?"

His tone of voice always made it hard to tell his emotions.

Han Xiucheng thought that the Regent wanted to help him, his cheeks flushed, and he said loudly: "Yes, Mianmian and I have been guarding the border for seven years, I can't help but give her a status, not to mention that she gave birth to me..."

The banquet held at the Duke's Mansion today is to fulfill Shen Lin's wish to save the Lin family and to put on an act for the nobles to see, not to send herself to the guillotine.

Duke Su was terrified when he heard this, and he quickly stepped down from his seat to interrupt, saying, "My son is drunk and disturbing Your Majesty. I will order someone to take him away right away."

He lowered his head and turned his face to the side. "Come here, the prince is drunk, take him away to sober him up."

"Father! Why do you want to obstruct me in every possible way?"

Mo Chengying likes Prince Han very much. He is a young and naive man who can kill himself without having to use his brain.

Han Xiucheng glanced at his father with dissatisfaction, and said with a thick tongue: "Jiang Tidian is an experienced person, and the prince is a passionate man. He will definitely understand me and fulfill my wish."

He was really drunk and did not notice the cold light in the Regent's eyes when he uttered the words "Jiang Tidian".

"The border is tough, and we have been together for seven years. This relationship is truly moving."

Mo Chengying took a sip of wine and said leisurely, "According to the military law of our dynasty, no soldier can bring his family with him during war. Only soldiers stationed in the garrison must be at least third rank and have been stationed there for more than three years before they can bring their wives with them. What is the rank of Prince Han in the army?"

Han Xiucheng's mind was clouded by alcohol and he had no idea that something was wrong.

Some nobles heard it, but did not remind them.

He answered honestly, "I am the commander-in-chief of the infantry camp."

"Good! Very good! A mere commander-in-chief dares to disregard military discipline."

It was clearly the same face, Mo Chengying's smile hadn't faded, and his voice hadn't changed, but at this moment, it made one's back shiver. "Come here - give him a hundred military sticks."

What does it mean to accompany you like a tiger?

I take you to heaven one moment and send you to hell the next.

Rewards and punishments are given in a moment, without any warning.

Han Xiucheng sobered up instantly and couldn't even utter the words to beg for mercy.

"W-Wang Ye..."

Poshan raised his hand and two guards from the palace came in and carried Han Xiucheng out in public. When the sound of sticks was heard outside, the nobles inside realized that it was not their imagination.

He really hit me.

They put down their wine glasses tremblingly and gently, fearing that they would make a noise and be implicated.

Duke Su listened to his son's wailing and wanted to plead for mercy.

Mo Chengying was drinking and glanced at him without even raising his head. He had an inexplicable feeling that if he dared to plead for mercy, the prince would dare to increase the punishment.

A beating is better than losing your life.

Duke Su knew what was good for him so he kept his mouth shut. Seeing this, the other nobles did not dare to say anything more either.

The sounds of stringed instruments create a tranquility that makes the mountain seem even more quiet when birds sing.

The situation was the same for men and women regardless of where they were seated. Speaking of the Duke's Mansion, there was one place that was not disturbed, and that was behind the rockery.

"Falling into the water? If Yue'er falls into the water, the prince may not save her. I'm afraid this method won't work."

What a dare!

Who the hell is her daughter Shen Qingyue? Is it worth the effort for the Regent to save her?

Not to mention that there are so many guards and maids in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion. Even if these people are incompetent, if the Duke Su jumps in himself, there will be no chance for the prince to go in and save people.

Lu Anyong suspected that Lin Huiru's brain had been soaked in water.

"I have already arranged it. When the time comes, Miss Shen will jump into the water to save people immediately. The Princess Mansion will definitely appreciate this. After you, Madam Shen, meet the princess, I promise that Jiang will personally take Miss Shen to the Princess Mansion."

Lin'an often took Shen Yuanyuan to boat trips on the lake some time ago, but the lake was frozen solid in a few days, so they could not take a boat trip on the lake this winter.

Lu Anyong guessed that the princess and the county lord would definitely take a cruise again in the near future, and originally planned to wait until then to take action.

Lin Huiru told him that she had arranged the Duke Su's act, so he disguised himself as a member of the opera troupe, sneaked into the Duke Su's mansion, knocked out a servant, changed his clothes, and implemented his plan ahead of time.

After the two men agreed, they each returned to their respective places and prepared for action.

When Lin Huiru came to the stage again, she saw Old Madam Han standing outside the Linshui Pavilion, Shen Yangui sitting in the pavilion, and another person standing and one kneeling.

Although the atmosphere is not right right now, it is an excellent opportunity to plead for mercy.

Lin Huiru did not dare to delay, so she found her daughter Shen Qingyue, told her where she would be and what she would do, and then went to Linshui Pavilion.

Shen Qingyue grabbed her mother and asked, "Push Shen Yuanyuan into the water?"

Lin Huiru was so scared that she covered her daughter's mouth, dragged her aside, and shouted in a low voice:

"You fool! Scream louder! If everyone knows, they will not only be able to collect the body of your uncle, but also your mother's body!"

"It's so cold, the lake is covered with thin ice, and she's so young, if she falls into the water, she might die."

Shen Qingyue is a little willful, but after all, she was spoiled by her grandparents and uncles since she was a child, so she is not a bad person.

"You feel sorry for her, but who feels sorry for your uncle? I'm going to kneel down and beg her for mercy for your uncle, but you're playing chicken with me here?"

Lin Huiru was so angry that she pinched her and said, "Why did I give birth to such a useless thing like you?"

Shen Qingyue's eyes were filled with tears from the pain. She covered her arm and stammered, "I don't feel sorry for her, it's just that she..."

It’s just that Shen Yuanyuan was too young, and when she was in the Shen Mansion, she didn’t care about the disagreement between their mothers or my attitude towards her, and always called me sister.

When we met at the banquet today, the little girl did not act like a princess and was still willing to call me sister.

Shen Qingyue really couldn't bear it.

"I'm not asking you to push it, what are you afraid of?" Lin Huiru deliberately provoked her, "Or do you not want to save your uncle and the others at all? Do you want to watch them get beheaded?"

Shen Qingyue shook her head, "I didn't..."

Lin Huiru coaxed, "It's just a temporary solution. As long as you act quickly, the little girl will be fine. Besides, her mother is a skilled doctor, so what can go wrong?"

"Whether you want to save your uncle or not is entirely up to you!"

After saying this, Lin Huiru no longer looked at her daughter and went straight to Linshui Pavilion.
