Chu Qianli’s brow furrowed as she heard this.
“So, Lord Ling doesn’t know who is right or wrong, and dares not act rashly?”
Lord Ling should not suspect the Emperor. It was likely someone had whispered in his ear.
Could it be the Princess Consort Ling?
What was Princess Consort Ling thinking?
Did Princess Consort Ling also want to help Prince Yu?
But what benefit would helping Prince Yu bring them?
“In short, there are not many trusted confidants around the Emperor now. If the Grand Tutor cannot prove his innocence, no one will believe him anymore.”
Eloping with a woman was a devastating slander for a descendant of the Lan clan.
Once he indulged in carnal pleasures, Lan Qing would no longer be qualified to be the Grand Tutor of Nanming.
This move, killing two birds with one stone, was truly ingenious!
When did Prince Yu learn such a formidable strategy? He had never seemed so clever before.
Was there someone behind the scenes orchestrating everything?
Was it Lan Fan?
Regardless of whether it was Lan Fan or not, everything depended on Lan Qing recovering to break the deadlock.
Nanming needed a Grand Tutor. Whether it was Lan Qing or Lan Fan, at least one was necessary.
“Shiyi, go and gather more information about Lan Fan.”
“Miss, then what about you…” Shiyi was a little worried. Since she had asked Fu Ning to take care of Lan Qing, it meant she was going to do something.
But now, the outside world was in an uproar, and everyone was looking for her and Lan Qing.
It was very dangerous for her to go out.
“Boss…”
“Don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing.” Chu Qianli smiled at him. “Don’t worry, I will be fine.”
…
Prince Yu’s mansion was very lively tonight.
After causing a scene in the Lingjiu Hall in the palace last night, Prince Yu was in a very good mood.
Of course, there was another person who was just as happy as him.
“Mr. Lan, thank you for exposing the affair between the Grand Tutor and that Miss Li, and for purging the wicked from Nanming.”
“You still call him Grand Tutor?” Lan Fan was a little displeased, his brow furrowed.
Hearing this, Prince Yu immediately put on a smiling face and said, “Yes, that former Grand Tutor, Lan Qing.”
“Heh, Mr. Lan, in any case, this is all your credit. In the future…”
He did not elaborate on what would happen in the future, but everyone understood.
Prince Yu smiled and said, “The one in the palace now, I don’t know if he can recover. For tomorrow’s matters, we will need Mr. Lan’s continued care.”
“I will do my utmost for tomorrow’s matters.”
“Good, let us toast Mr. Lan!”
“To Mr. Lan!”
The entire room was filled with Prince Yu’s confidants, including many important officials in the court.
While the living room was bustling with activity, the atmosphere in one of the bedrooms in the east wing had turned icy.
“Why should this County Princess serve that Mr. Lan! I am a County Princess, how can I please a man like a dancer? Are you all crazy!”
Chu Feiyan could hardly believe that Gui Tong had said that her father wanted her to change her clothes and serve that Lan Fan.
She was a County Princess!
“Mr. Lan saw the County Princess in the backyard today, was greatly impressed by her, and greatly admires her.”
Gui Tong was merely following orders. He said expressionlessly, “County Princess, please change your clothes and go to the living room to entertain Mr. Lan. This is the Prince’s order.”
“I don’t believe it!”
She had been pampered since childhood, a golden branch!
She had always been served by others, so how could she serve others?
That person wasn’t Brother Ye Xuan!
If it were Brother Ye Xuan, she would have gone without any command!
But, who was this Mr. Lan?
“I’m not going! If you want to serve, serve him yourselves!”
