Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 148, The First Battle of the East Factory! Princess, do you really want me to be your son-in-law?
Emperor Qing wanted to be a wise ruler without any blemish.

Therefore, they attach great importance to reputation and are unwilling to personally step down to deal with others.

All the dirty work was secretly done by Chen Pingping and the eldest princess.

Liu Hong was looking forward to what would happen after all these shocking news including Ye Qingmei's death were exposed.

Can Emperor Qing still be a whore and a virtuous woman at the same time?

"Liu Hong, what are you mumbling about here!"

Fan Xian watched the note crumble into pieces and couldn't help but speak.

Liu Hong's eyes were deep and he smiled softly.

"Fan Xian, are you interested in doing something big with me? After all, your father-in-law is the Prime Minister. Even if he steps down, he should do so in a blatant manner and enjoy honor, rather than bearing a bad name and stepping down in disgrace."

Fan Xian looked at Liu Hong deeply.

"it is good!"

Lin Ruofu is his father-in-law, and he saw that Liu Hong was so concerned.

This reminded Fan Xian of the rumor that the princess intended to make Liu Hong her son-in-law.

I couldn't help but shiver!
Absolutely not, Wan'er is his.

The three-day imperial examination ended quickly, and all the scholars seemed like different people, in a miserable state.

The clothes still had the strange smell, so they looked at each other with a helpless smile and hurried back to their residence.

After taking a bath, have a good sleep.

Fan Wujiu scratched his head and walked out of the examination room. When he saw Liu Hong, his face showed some gratitude.

"Thank you for not stopping me from taking the imperial examination this time."

"It's okay. This is your right. Besides, if you don't take the imperial examination, the books I gave you would be wasted."

Liu Hong spoke nonchalantly.

When Fan Wujiu heard Liu Hong mention the past, a trace of nostalgia flashed across his eyes and he looked at Liu Hong very seriously.

"Liu Hong, come back! The Second Prince needs you. As long as you come back, we can still be friends. I really don't want to accept an order to assassinate you one day."

"You are loyal to the Second Prince, I know that. If such a day really comes, just come, my guard is not weak."

It is obvious that Liu Hong is very determined.

Even if he is beaten to death, he will never surrender to the Second Prince again.

"Sir, something happened!"

When Ji Xin saw Liu Hong, he lowered his voice and spoke hurriedly.

Seeing this, Fan Wujiu tactfully walked away.

There was nothing you could do if you didn't know what was going on, as the guards that swarmed over had already revealed their hidden crossbows.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

Liu Hong frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Ji Xin's startled look.

"The princess asked you to go to Guangxin Palace for a talk, but I don't know why yet."

"Baoyue Tower was smashed, more than ten girls were injured, and two girls died on the spot. The murderer is nowhere to be found. They are at least rank seven or eight in skill, and there are five of them."

"There is also Yuan Hongdao from the Prime Minister's Mansion. He escaped from the brothers' surveillance and disappeared without a trace."

Ji Xin spoke in rapid succession, hardly even taking a breath, as he recounted these things one after another.

Liu Hong rubbed his temples and sat on the steps of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it! I was so bored recently, but after the imperial examination, a lot of things came up."

This is just something Ji Xin needs to deal with.

If Liu Hong and Fan Xian were to be included, Lin Ruofu would have one final moment of glory, and he would have his marriage with Fan Ruoruo, and he would have planned for the position of Minister of War.

He almost didn't want Liu Hong to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go back to the Minister's Mansion first!"

Ji Xin opened his mouth wide.

"Sir, but the princess asked you to go to Guangxin Palace."

"I've been here for three days, shouldn't I take a bath and wash myself?"

Liu Hong spoke in a bad mood, not to mention what could happen to the eldest princess.

This time, Liu Hong was allowed to go to Guangxin Palace openly, which must have been with the tacit approval of Emperor Qing.

It's probably about dismissing a prime minister.

After washing up and heading to the palace, the commander of the imperial guards saw the eldest princess's personal maid personally leading Liu Hong into the Guangxin Palace.

His eyes flashed for a moment and he walked towards the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing did not take his enthusiastic report seriously and sent Gong Dian away casually.

"Eunuch Hou, how is the establishment of your East Factory going?" Emperor Qing spoke casually.

Eunuch Hou knelt on the ground immediately, like a loyal old dog, and spoke immediately.

"Your Majesty, it has been organized and the personnel are ready."

"Then I'll wait and see your performance."

Emperor Qing laughed, helped Eunuch Hou up, and spoke affectionately.

"Among so many people in the palace, I trust you the most."

Eunuch Hou was covered in cold sweat and kowtowed several times in a row.

Led by his personal female official Liu Qinghe, Liu Hong arrived at Guangxin Palace with ease.

He was slightly stunned, looking a little surprised.

Why is the prince here too? The time doesn't seem right! The prince at this time should be suffering from syphilis.

"Liu Hong is here, come and sit down. You are not a stranger."

When Princess Li Yunrui saw Liu Hong, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she spoke with a smile and some sincerity.

Among all the young people in Kyoto, Liu Hong was the one that satisfied her the most. He would not pose a threat to her management of the inner treasury and could also be used as an aid.

It can also bring Wan'er wealth and glory!
It’s a pity that Emperor Qing didn’t know what medicine he had taken was wrong.

The purpose is to force Wan'er to marry Fan Xian and hand over the inner treasury to him.

Even if Fan Xian was the son of his grandfather's brother Fan Jian, he shouldn't have been treated like this.

Liu Hong corrected his attitude.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess, Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Alas, Liu Hong, you have been too polite these days. Didn't your aunt say that you are not an outsider?"

The prince looked at Liu Hong with a more friendly look.

Looking back at the eldest princess's beautiful face and her smooth and delicate skin, his Adam's apple moved and he forced himself to suppress the love in his heart.

"Liu Hong, do you know why I asked you to come here this time?"

Li Yunrui gently moved the orange with her slender fingers.

It can be seen that the eldest princess is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. She not only peels the orange peel, but also cleans all the original fuzz and veins of the orange.

The orange was divided into two halves, one half for the prince and the other half for Liu Hong.

Liu Hong pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

"Your Highness, I don't know."

The prince was quite surprised. He originally thought that his aunt was just talking, but he didn't expect that Liu Hong really had a high status in his aunt's heart.

A sense of crisis from the love rival arose spontaneously, and his eyes suddenly became bad.

The eldest princess was an expert in training the prince, so she knew what the boy was thinking and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Liu Hong, I once considered you my son-in-law. Even though it was destined that Wan'er would marry Fan Xian, I still considered you my son-in-law."

Hearing this, the prince looked much better.

"I am ashamed to accept this!"

Liu Hong hurriedly bowed. He really didn't want to be the eldest princess's son-in-law.

In the eyes of the eldest princess, Lin Gong was also a good son, and then he died! His death was quick and easy.

"Why don't I adopt Fan Ruoruo as my goddaughter? This way, the royal family, the Fan family, and you, Liu Hong, will become even closer."

The eldest princess suddenly spoke.

"Aunt is right. I will tell Fan Xian later."

The prince laughed foolishly, with a gleam in his eyes.

My aunt hasn't talked about the serious matter until now. Is it because he is here and she wants to avoid him?

Li Yunrui glanced at the prince and his expression became serious.

"Liu Hong, what do you think of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu?"

When the eldest princess was fifteen years old, she seduced the top scholar Lin Ruofu. Although this was kept secret, many people knew about it.

To bring it up so openly is truly something that not many people can compare to.

"This is a rare powerful minister in the Qing Kingdom in the past hundred years."

Liu Hong answered promptly and concisely.

Lin Ruofu experienced four or five ups and downs in officialdom, and over the decades, his students and old friends were spread all over the court.

This is why Emperor Qing wants to play some tricks.

If the matter of deposing the prime minister fails in public, it will be a huge blow to his authority.
