Xu Lipeng came out of the mansion. At this time, he wanted to go to the government office to take a look. The position mentioned before had some progress. It was said that he would be able to start work in the next two days.
It is not a virtual position, but a real job. Although it is a little small, it has unlimited possibilities in the future.
Xu Lipeng had no intention of taking the imperial examination from the beginning. Although people said he was a talented writer, his talent was not in the imperial examination.
He was the eldest son of Marquis Yongning, and for this reason alone, he felt that he was superior to others and did not need to compete with those people for the imperial examination. If his marriage had not been damaged at that time, he would never have ended up like this. When he stood outside the mansion, he squinted his eyes and looked outside. The weather was good today.
Wait here for the carriage to come out of the side door.
He pulled his sleeves and thought of Mrs. Duan in the mansion. He felt inexplicably irritated. All his bad things seemed to be related to Mrs. Duan. From the breakup of the engagement with the Qu family, to the engagement with Mrs. Duan, to now that he had married Mrs. Duan and turned his family upside down. Thinking of Mrs. Duan, his good mood was gone immediately.
There was a dull pain in his neck. Just because he took two concubines, Duan Shi didn't give him face and slapped him hard.
Thinking of the concubine whose leg was broken by Duan a few days ago, Xu Lipeng felt very annoyed, and the weather was not so good anymore.
Mrs. Duan is such a shrew. I should have known that Qu Moying was better. But now he can only look up to the former Fourth Miss Qu.
If he had known this would happen, he would have booked her earlier. It would never have ended up like this.
He was very upset. He was already married, but his wedding was extremely simple. On the one hand, not many people were interested in the wedding of a son of the Yongning Marquis.
In addition, he had once canceled Qu Moying's marriage, and now Qu Moying is the Princess of England. No matter how you look at it, he should not go to Yongning Marquis' Mansion to join in the fun. This also made Xu Lipeng's marriage very quiet, and it didn't seem like the marriage of a prince of a marquis' mansion at all.
Thinking of these, nothing went smoothly. Xu Lipeng stomped his feet in annoyance and didn't want to think about these things that upset him anymore. From now on, his future would not just be the prince of Yongning Marquis. He would stand up again in places where others were not paying attention.
He turned his head and saw that the carriage had already come out of the side door, but it was a little slow. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he walked over there.
Suddenly, he sensed that there were other people appearing in the field in front of his house, so he stopped and looked back.
But he saw a group of people rushing over. After seeing who that group of people were, Xu Lipeng's face changed drastically and he staggered, but then he steadied himself.
I didn't do anything wrong and I won't let anyone know. I definitely won't let anyone know.
As I thought this, I felt my eye twitch.
"Young Master Yongning, something involves you, please come with us." The man in the lead actually knew Xu Lipeng. Seeing Xu Lipeng standing on the steps in front of the gate, he took two steps forward and asked.
"Who are you?" Xu Lipeng asked sternly.
"You're from the Ministry of Justice, Prince Xu, please come in!" The man in front took a step back and politely extended his hand to invite him, but his expression was cold.
This was a person from the Ministry of Justice. Xu Lipeng also knew him. They had met before when he was trying to get that position. They had met each other before and laughed at each other.
This person at that time
He was also very friendly to Xu Lipeng.
"What's the matter?" Xu Lipeng calmed down and asked.
"It's an important matter, Master Xu, please come in!" the man urged.
"Wait a minute, I'll go tell my father. There's something important I haven't told him yet." Xu Lipeng looked up at the carriage coming out.
The carriage stopped just one step away. His servant was also standing beside the carriage. When he saw him being dragged by the people from the Ministry of Justice, he was panicked and was about to come over, but Xu Lipeng signaled him to stop.
"Prince Xu, the matter is urgent. No matter who it is, we cannot delay His Royal Highness the King's business at this time. Please go!" The man from the Ministry of Justice spoke politely, but his attitude did not soften at all, which meant that he must leave.
Xu Lipeng gritted his teeth hard, then exhaled slowly, telling himself not to lie. It must not be what he thought. Yu Qingmeng would never give him away. If she did, she would be really finished. She had nothing, and no one was willing to support her except himself.
She had said before that she would never reveal herself even if she died.
It's just to ask for yourself.
"Since you are so anxious, let's go!" Xu Lipeng forced a smile.
"Please!" The people from the Ministry of Justice saw that he acted in a proper manner and did not make things difficult for him. They nodded and motioned for him to go first.
Xu Lipeng waved his hand gently in the direction of the servant, pointed his thumb in the direction of the East Palace, nodded three times, then turned around and strode away.
He couldn't not go, and he dared not not go.
But he was afraid that he would not be able to come back, so he asked his servant to pass on the message to the Prince's Mansion...
The prince of Yongning was plotting treason and secretly sent people to assassinate the King of England. When the news came out, everyone was shocked.
How could the Prince of Yongning have the guts to do such a thing? Is he really not afraid of implicating the entire Yongning Marquisate
Many people were unwilling to believe it. Although the reputation of the Prince of Yongning was not very good, his behavior was still that of a gentle and elegant young man from a noble family. How could he dare to do such a thing
I heard before that he had some relationship with the Crown Princess. Could it be because of this reason
While many people were speculating, the emperor had already issued an edict to strip Marquis Yongning of his title and demote him to a commoner. The Marquis Yongning's son was convicted and exiled to the border.
It is said that the reason why he was able to survive in the end was because of the King of England's kindness.
Many people did not believe in the so-called benevolence of the King of England, but in the end, they found that it was actually true. According to the fact that Xu Lipeng secretly sent assassins to hide in the King of England's Palace, if the King of England did not give in, not only would the entire Yongning Marquis's Mansion be convicted, but the former Prince of Yongning would definitely not be alive.
Many people were surprised that he was spared and only exiled.
The King of England was no longer the symbol of killing, and his throne was no longer just made of blood. He was actually somewhat kind, which was different from what they had felt before.
There were people in the court who were planning to report this matter to the King of England, but they were silent for a moment. No one expected that the King of England would be so generous as to release Xu Lipeng. This was already the greatest kindness he could do, and he couldn't just let Xu Lipeng get away with nothing
The memorials that were caught off guard were useless no matter how well written they were. Many people worked hard all night to write beautiful articles, thinking that they would surely impress the emperor, but in the end, they were left unfinished and died.
Who could have thought that things would turn out like this
Crown Prince Pei Luoan sat in the study, his face as pale as ever, and a little anxious.
A eunuch came up hurriedly: "Your Highness, the person has been dealt with!"
"Okay." Pei Luoan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He pretended that he was the one who let others contact Xu Lipeng. Now that this person has been dealt with, there is no cure. Even if Xu Lipeng said it was him, he would make it clear that it was not him. There was no evidence, so Xu Lipeng must have made a false accusation.
How could it be an assassination attempt on Pei Yuanjun
He still doesn't understand why this happened. The woman was recommended by Xu Lipeng, who said she would be very useful if sent in. Even if something happened, it would be blamed on the Princess of England. After all, this woman had a personal grudge against the Princess of England.
If nothing goes wrong, that would be the best. He is just putting a nail in the British palace, a nail that cannot possibly involve himself.
The British palace is the most difficult place for him to insert people, so if there is such an opportunity, he will definitely try it.
Because of this, he felt that Xu Lipeng was not completely useless. He had even spoken up and hinted that Xu Lipeng was useful, so he had someone arrange a position for Xu Lipeng.
But it has only been a few days and such a thing happened, and it almost involved him. If I wasn't angry.
With a frown on his face, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave.
He rubbed his brows with his hand, feeling very annoyed. He was just a chess piece, why didn't he make such a big noise? If he had known Xu Lipeng was so frivolous, he would not have thought highly of him in the first place.
With such a person, it is no wonder that the Princess of England canceled his engagement. He is incapable of accomplishing anything and is always causing trouble. He only looks good for show. The Yongning Marquis' Mansion was inherited by such a show-off, and sooner or later it will end up like this.
It would be a huge loss for the Princess of England to marry this show-off.
He inexplicably thought of the Princess of England. He always felt that the Princess of England had the shadow of Ji Hanyue. It was not very strong, after all, the two people's appearances were completely different. One was delicate and heroic, and the other was gentle and charming. But for some reason, Pei Luoan thought so.
He stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead again, thinking about the incident at that time. I wonder if the Princess of England was there? Was she frightened and fainted? A woman like her, who was so delicate, must have been frightened. I don't know how the woman arranged by Xu Lipeng dared to really assassinate her.
I felt more irritated and conflicted, and I couldn't explain it clearly.
He walked to the window and took a deep breath to suppress his upset feeling. This matter had no harm to him, and Xu Lipeng was nothing to him.
At most, it's just a nail that's missing. The nail can be replaced. Xu Lipeng is finished anyway. When arranging people in the future, I have to be more careful and don't let Pei Yuanjun catch him.
Thinking that he, the crown prince of the current dynasty, was actually being held hostage by an ordinary prince, his brows furrowed tightly again and he clenched his hands tightly behind his back. When he ascended the throne one day, the first person he would do something to was Pei Yuanjun. He would definitely avenge the grievances he had suffered for so many years.
As for the Princess of England, for Han Yue's sake, he could spare her life...
The prince was daydreaming and had already thought about the good things that would happen after he ascended the throne, but others did not think so. Xu Lipeng's incident involved more than just the prince's mansion...
