Chapter 207 The Emperor asks and the Prime Minister replies
Xiao Jingyu looked at Ling Bo and asked, "I ordered you to look for the shopkeepers, accountants, and clerks who used to work in the dowry shops and farms of my late Madam Fu Baozhen. Have you sent them to find them?"
Ling Bo stepped forward and replied, “Your Highness, except for a few people who have left the capital, we haven’t found them yet;
All those who remained in the capital have been found.
Moreover, they are all willing to return to the shop and farm of the former lady to work for the eldest lady."
"Well, let them be ready at all times.
Taking this opportunity, all the shops of the late Madam Fu Baozhen were taken back and the original staff were re-employed.
From now on, don’t even think about getting involved in the Marquis of Qinxing’s Mansion.”
"I understand!" Ling Bo replied.
Xiao Jingyu continued, "Besides the servants who go out to buy fresh vegetables, fish and meat every day, the rest of the things in the Marquis Qinxing's mansion are probably all paid monthly at various stores.
Go and tell those shops that the mansion of Marquis Qinxing was robbed at night and they may not be able to collect their debts. Tell them to take the initiative and settle all the existing debts as soon as possible to avoid further losses.
Anyway, the little princess is not at home right now, so let the Marquis Qinxing's mansion have some fun!"
"Yes, I understand. I promise to make the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion lively!" Ling Bo said, bowed, smiled and turned to leave.
He loves to do this kind of thing, fanning the flames and making trouble.
Especially to deal with such ruthless people like Leng Xian, Marquis of Qinxing, and such sinister and vicious people like Yin.
After Ling Bo went out, he called a few brothers and assigned them tasks.
Several people happily walked out of Prince Yu's Mansion and went about their business.
Xiao Jingyu looked at Tinglei who had not slept all night, "Tinglei, go to sleep first, and then continue to keep an eye on the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Ting Lei turned around and walked out, and heard Xiao Jingyu's instructions from behind: "Go find the housekeeper first."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Ting Lei responded and ran away.
Lu Ming, the palace's steward, heard that the prince had summoned him and arrived quickly.
Xiao Jingyu looked at him and said, “I will be away for a few days.
Please pay more attention to the situation in the palace and the Marquis Qinxing's palace."
“Yes, I know.
But I wonder where the prince is going? How many days will he be gone?" Lu Ming asked.
When Xiao Jingyu heard the housekeeper Lu Ming ask, a smile appeared on his face, "I am going to help the little princess, and I will probably be away for three to five days.
During these three to five days, Prince Yu’s Mansion will be closed to visitors.”
Butler Lu Ming looked at Xiao Jingyu with some confusion.
Xiao Jingyu curled his lips and said, "If someone comes to build a relationship, ask for help...
Just say that I have returned to Ruoxu Peak.
In short, all requests are rejected on the grounds that the king is not in the palace."
Lu Ming thought about it, and suddenly understood, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
Xiao Jingyu nodded, "Okay, then go ahead and get busy.
Also, tell someone to prepare Feiyun for me."
"Understood, Your Highness!" Butler Lu Ming went to arrange things himself.
Xiao Jingyu got up and returned to his bedroom, packed a small bag for himself and put it aside.
He took off the dragon robe, put on a sky-blue brocade robe, and tied a jade belt around his waist.
This jade belt contains a soft sword for self-defense.
It is autumn now, and it is very cold in the mornings and evenings. Xiao Jingyu took out another silver-gray cloak.
Thinking that nothing was missing, he grabbed the small bag and walked out.
His BMW Feiyun was already waiting in the front yard.
Feiyun seemed to know that he was going out with his master. He kept snorting and stomping the ground with his hooves, as if he couldn't wait to run freely.
Xiao Jingyu walked over, hung the small bag in his hand on the saddle, reached out and touched Feiyun's forehead, and fed an apple in his hand into Feiyun's mouth.
Feiyun ate happily.
Xiao Jingyu led Feiyun out of the palace and mounted his horse outside the gate.
Feiyun ran forward quickly without whipping the horse.
The street where Prince Yu's mansion was located was very quiet, with almost no pedestrians, and Feiyun ran very fast.
It was not until they reached the busy streets with more pedestrians that Xiao Jingyu asked Feiyun to slow down and head towards the South City Gate.
The handsome man rode a horse on the street, attracting the admiring gazes of countless young girls and young women!
However, the handsome man didn't care at all. He just cut off all those glances that seemed to be about to be drawn and left them behind.
The Golden Palace of the Royal Palace.
The atmosphere in the Golden Palace today was a little weird.
Emperor Hongde noticed it as soon as he sat on the throne.
He looked in the direction of the civil and military ministers...
Yo ho!
Today, the Marquis of Qinxing, Leng Xian, did not come to court again...
Is this still a coma?
Emperor Hongde was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just wanted him to sleep. It would be better if he could sleep forever so as not to be an eyesore to him.
But Leng Xian didn't come to court and didn't come back. Did he take leave...this is the key.
If he asked for leave, Emperor Hongde would ignore him;
If you don’t ask for leave... haha... you will be committing additional crime and receiving additional punishment!
Who made Marquis Qinxing do such a cruel thing?
Emperor Hongde would feel sorry for him if he didn't punish him!
Emperor Hongde sat high on the throne, looking down at his ministers.
Today, I saw that Marquis Qinxing did not come to the morning court again.
Is this... still in a coma? Is he still sick?
Did the Marquis of Qinxing send someone to ask for leave?"
When the Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan heard Emperor Hongde asking about Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian, he just wanted to grin.
Alas! This unfortunate Marquis Qinxing, does he think that the "Ten Canes" waiting for him are too few?
Did he hope for twenty rods? Or forty rods?
Now that the emperor had asked about it, Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan had no choice but to report: "Your Majesty, Leng Xian, the Marquis of Qinxing, still did not come today. He must be ill and has not recovered yet."
"Oh? You're still sick? Then continue to rest well.
But... has anyone from the Marquis of Qinxing come to ask for leave on his behalf?" Emperor Hongde asked again.
Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan closed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it is not true!"
