After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

Chapter 137: Chapter 137. All Lands Under The Heavens Belong to The King

Wan Yulin was concerned about his money, so he definitely couldn’t let it fall into the National Treasury and be taken by the Emperor.

Lu Yue shook his head,

’ Not yet. The silver boxes we robbed only had the upper layer of real silver, and the lower layer was filled with rocks. I wonder where that old man Qin Feng hid the silver? He seemed to have predicted that someone would come to rob the silver?”

Wan Yulin’s eagle-like eyes glinted with ferocity as he slammed his palm on the table,

“Order them to find out the whereabouts of the silver. I want Qin Feng to die from a carriage crash like his godson-in-law.¹¹

“Yes.”

Lu Yue agreed and left the room. He wrote a secret letter and ordered the armored soldiers escorting Qin Feng to find out the whereabouts of the silver.

Originally, Wan Yulin had planned it very well. He didn’t expect this old man to use fake silver to fool the Emperor. He had stolen the actual silver and exchanged it for fake silver, making the Emperor think that Qin Feng was faking it to claim the credit.

This old brat is so audacious; isn’t he afraid of losing his head for deceiving the sovereign? Or had he already predicted that someone would steal the silver and played along?

The palace lanterns were lit at night in the health Hall of the capital’s Imperial City. Eunuchs walked gently in the hall, serving tea and cakes. No one made a sound.

The great Xia Kingdom’s supreme ruler wore a bright yellow Dragon robe as he sat on a soft couch. A secret letter was placed on the Kang table in front of him. His face was as dark as ink, and his eyes, always smiling during the day, were now flashing with a cold light.

He was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground.

“Do they think I’m blind in the eyes and heart, weak, and easy to bully?”

There was a faint anger in his low growl. He should have some time to suffer. His days of being suppressed by the Wan family should have ended.

“Please calm your anger, Your Majesty.¹’

The head eunuch, Gui Ganggong, who was serving the Emperor, quickly came over to persuade the Emperor,

“We need to prevent the walls from having cars.’¹

It would have been better if he didn’t say it, but Yongqi was even angrier,

“I’m the Emperor of the great Xia Kingdom, Do I need to be afraid of them?¹’

The eunuch laughed bitterly and thought, ’As if you’re not afraid of them?”

“Does the Imperial consort have any regrets these two days?¹’

Yongqi took a deep breath and suppressed the violent Qi in his heart. He slowed down his tone and asked his eunuch, Gui Gonggong.

“The Imperial consort refused to copy the Scriptures and even beat up all the palace maids and eunuchs.”

“Hmph, she doesn’t repent. I’ve spoiled her too much all these years, causing her to be a vicious woman.

Yongqi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

This noble consort Wan relied on her maternal family’s merit of being a Dragon follower. When he was young, he looked forward to the throne. After becoming the Emperor, he was most concerned about having children. She could not give birth to children herself and did not allow the other concubines to give birth to Dragon children, causing him not to have a son who could inherit the throne even though he was nearly forty.

He was afraid that because he did not have a son, the country would have to change its surname to Wan.

“How’s Qin Feng?”

Yongqi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked his eunuch in a deep voice.

The eunuch sighed, “You’ve been humiliated by old Qin.”

“There’s no other way. We can only sacrifice him.”

A trace of guilt flashed in Yongqi’s eyes, but he immediately regained his indifference. The world was the king’s land, and all the ministers should be loyal to him.

“Since he’s my teacher, he should be sacrificed for me.”

The eunuch lowered his head and felt that it was not worth it for old Qin. Old Qin had tried his best to help the Emperor hide the 500000 taels of silver and had devised an excellent plan to topple the Wan family, but in the end, he was still abandoned by the Emperor.

“All 1 can do is protect my entire family and exterminate his entire family. I hope teacher can understand my difficulties.”

Yongqi sighed and looked so hypocritical. The eunuch couldn’t bear to look at it anymore and lowered his eyes to look at his toes.

“How’s Li City?”

The Emperor asked again, as he couldn’t be careless about the important city in the great Xia Kingdom.

“The Wan family Army has shut themselves in and refused to come out. They said the military provisions the Emperor sent had poisoned their soldiers to death, and they have no soldiers to use.”

The eunuch reported in a low voice. He had already expected the Emperor to be furious when he heard this.

As expected, after hearing the eunuch’s words, the Emperor lifted and smashed the table. His long face was as dark as ink.

“Wan Yulin, you’re too arrogant. Do you think that I can’t do it without you?”

“General Wan has done a lot these years!” The eunuch said hurriedly.

“Go, tell the An family that noble consort Wan wanted to harm noble An.”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and restrained his monstrous anger as he ordered his eunuch.

“Alright.”

The eunuch respectfully cupped his hands and retreated. He sent someone to inform the An family. When the eunuch returned, he saw that the Emperor was already sitting and drinking tea with a calm expression as usual.

“Your Majesty, I’ve already sent someone to inform the An family.”

The eunuch reported respectfully.

“En, go to Jiaofang Palace and inform them that I will be staying over tonight,”

Yongqi said with a frown, holding a breath in his heart. She wanted to harm his child, and he still had to coax her?

The Emperor cursed, ^TB*tch, b*tch, b*tch

Undercurrents were surging in the palace on this side while the disaster victims in Peach Blossom Cove continued on their way. Without Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng, everyone was not as at case as when they were around.

There were many disaster victims on the official road. Seeing them sitting in the carriage, some were envious, some were jealous, some were resentful, and some were greedy.

They watched with fear and trepidation all the way. Fortunately, they had two fierce people, Zhong Yong, and Li Daniu, so those people didn’t dare to act rashly.

Because of this, they also didn’t dare to stop for cooking so quickly. They ate the Lotus root starch that Su Qing had made. Lotus root starch was cooling and had the effect of relieving summer heat in the hot summer.

Today, they had finally managed to put some distance between them and the refugees. Qiu Yongkang brought everyone to a river and prepared to bury a pot to cook.

They had to eat food, or they wouldn’t have the strength to walk.

“Big brother Qiu, we want to pick some mulberry leaves.”

Ji Xiaoying ran over to Qiu Yongkang. Her sister’s silkworm babies had run out of food, and she feared that her sister would be sad if they starved.

“You can’t go. The mountains are dangerous.”

Qiu Yongkang glanced at the tall mountains not far away. The lush greenery made it easy for wild beasts to hide in them.

Xiaoying said anxiously,

“This won’t do. Silkworm babies are about to starve to death.”

“Then lot Zhong Yong go with you. Don’t get separated from him.”

Seeing how anxious Xiaoying was, Qiu Yongkang’s heart softened, and he agreed but sent Zhong Yong to follow them.

Zhong Yong was powerful and hold an iron hammer in his hand. He wasn’t afraid even if he encountered a fierce beast. He would only be at case if he protected Xiaoying for Yongkang.

“Thank you, big brother, Qiu.”

Xiaoyng thanked Qiu Yongkang happily when she saw that he had agreed. Her eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled. Qiu Yongkang smiled,

“Be careful.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Li Shuang’er ran over with a basket on her back. She also wanted to help sister Su Qing feed the silkworm babies.

The other girls followed her. Not only could they pick mulberry leaves, but they could also pick medicinal herbs. The girls wanted to pick medicinal herbs for Su Qing. They were happy to help her.

Qiu Yue sat in the car and watched the girls chat happily. She felt isolated. In the past, the girls in the village would always stick around her. They were all snobbish. When Su Qing came, they would try to please her.

“Godmother, just sit here and don’t walk around. We’ll be back in a while..”
