When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 200: The Ruthless Imperial Power

"How dare you! Just try to touch me!"

Ling Yuran looked at Reggie who was about to come over to pull her and said angrily, then glared at Ling Hao, not believing that her brother would dare to do anything to her.

“Your Highness…!”

Ruiji was in a dilemma. He didn't dare to touch Princess Yuran, but he had to listen to Ling Hao's words.

"Your Highness!"

Just when the two of them were on the verge of a fight, Bai Xin stood up, looked at Ling Hao and said.

"Yu Ran isn't a child anymore, there are some things you can let her know!"

Although she is a princess and is loved by everyone, if her brother or her husband has to fight against others in the future, how can she stay out of it?

"Cousin!"

Ling Hao looked at Bai Xin, his eyes were lonely for a moment. He failed to protect her when she was young, and now his sister was also involved. He really felt that he was useless.

"Yuran loves her brother and her husband deeply. She will definitely not think of keeping herself out of trouble and staying out of it." Bai Xin looked at Ling Hao and said.

"Your cousin is always worried about my safety and doesn't let me get involved in everything. But for me, what I want most is to be able to advance and retreat with him. I think Yu Ran feels the same way!"

Bai Xin glanced at Ye Qi, his eyes were always on her, afraid that something might happen to her. It was a good feeling to have someone to rely on, but she preferred to rely on each other.

"Cousin, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Don't hide anything from me!"

Ling Yuran said in a slightly anxious tone. From what Bai Xin meant, it was about her prince consort.

"Yuran, your sister-in-law's murder is closely related to your second brother Ling Yao!" Bai Xin said as he looked at her.

"Second brother?!"

Ling Yuran was a little bit unbelievable. She had always been a pampered princess. Even Ling Yao always greeted her with a smile, so she thought everything was fine.

"Two years ago, your brother was assassinated while on a military expedition, and your cousin's soldiers were ambushed and assassinated multiple times, all by your second brother."

Bai Xin looked at her and continued.

"More importantly, your husband, Shuru, was once the son of the richest man in Ancheng. However, because of the abuse by your second brother Lingyao, his family was destroyed and he ended up living on the streets. Fortunately, he is talented and hardworking, and he was able to find a way out for himself."

When Ling Hao heard this, he looked at Lu Shuru with wide eyes. This was the first time he heard about this matter. It turned out that her sister's husband had such a background.

"Actually, this actually happened!"

Ling Yuran looked at Lu Shuru in astonishment. She had no idea that her husband had suffered such a great misfortune, and he had never told her a word to make her worry. He had never even tried to use her to get close to Ling Yao for revenge.

"You, why didn't you tell me?"

Ling Yuran couldn't hold back her tears anymore and said to Lu Shuru with a distressed look.

"If I became your consort just to take advantage of you, I would be sorry for our friendship!" Lu Shuru walked forward, raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile.

He also wanted to take revenge, but Yu Ran was so innocent, how could he involve her?

"How stupid!" Yu Ran said while tears still flowed.

"Does the second brother know the background of the prince consort?" Yu Ran asked in surprise.

"Don't worry Yuran, I'm sure she won't know. If she knew, your princess mansion will not be peaceful!" Bai Xin said, thinking that she would not suspect him.

"Then, what should we do? Will what happened yesterday alert the enemy?" Yu Ran said a little anxiously.

"Ling Yao will definitely be alert, but we told the public that she was an ordinary maid and had been beaten to death. This will at least make him relax a little and give us more time to come up with a countermeasure!"

"I never thought that my second brother is such a person!" Ling Yuran said a little sadly after hearing Bai Xin's words.

But when she thought about how he had destroyed her own prince consort's family, all she was left with was anger and hatred.

"Why would he do this?" Ling Yuran said gritting his teeth.

"Princess, you have to be ambitious and increase your own strength to eliminate your own obstacles!" Shu Ru looked at her and explained to her gently.

The little princess was protected too well, and she couldn't understand men's sometimes obsession with power.

"So, my brother and cousin became obstacles for him!" Ling Yuran nodded in understanding.

"Hmph, he has evil ambitions. If he is allowed to ascend to a high position by stepping on the flesh and blood of others, it will surely be a disaster for all people!" Ling Yuran sneered.

Bai Xin looked at the brother and sister, who seemed to have become calm overnight. She couldn't help feeling sad. It would be great if they could remain innocent forever.

But, none of them are allowed.

"Yes, Ling Yao has ill intentions. This time he injured Qing Shi but did not hurt the two young masters. I'm sure he will not let it go easily!"

Bai Xin looked at everyone and said worriedly.

"What should we do then?" Ling Yuran asked worriedly, "We must add more guards!"

"Adding guards is only a temporary solution. We are in the light and he is in the dark. We can't defend ourselves against him anyway." Bai Xin shook his head and said.

"I can't do anything to him for a moment!" Ling Hao said bitterly.

"He wants a high position. It would be great if there was a way to stop him from having such thoughts." Bai Xin murmured.

"Unless we kill him, how can we stop him from thinking about it!" Ling Hao said with a sneer.

Ye Qi looked up but said nothing. If he could kill him now, he would have raised his sword and gone. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that yet.

"If we can make His Majesty angry and drive him out of Kyoto, making him a small vassal king who can never return to Beijing, would that be a method?" Bai Xin said after thinking for a while.

It is hard to say whether the princes of small places will die of illness outside at that time, and no one will criticize them or bring them into trouble.

"This is one way, but how can we make His Majesty angry? Yu Qingling alone may not be enough!" Ye Qi retorted.

"General, have you forgotten? There is also a Wang Dexin!" Bai Xin looked at him and said with a slightly raised lip.

Ye Qi nodded. There was indeed another Wang Dexin in his military prison, and he almost forgot about him.

When Lu Shuru heard Bai Xin mention Wang Dexin, his eyes suddenly turned cold and his anger rose.

"Shu Ru..."

Ling Yuran saw his expression change, reached out and grabbed his hand, and comforted him softly.

"Who is this Wang Dexin?" Ling Yuran looked up and asked Bai Xin.

"He was the shopkeeper of Lu Shuru's former family. He colluded with Ling Yao and slandered Shuru's father for concealing the mine and colluding with the government. He was the culprit who was wiped out overnight!" Bai Xin told her.

"It's really abominable!" Ling Yuran said bitterly, grabbing Lu Shuru's hand with great heartache.

"If we rashly point fingers at Ling Yao, his mother, Xichang, and even some of his subjects will find excuses to shirk responsibility!" Ling Hao said.

"So, we have to find an opportunity, a chance for him to commit suicide and no one dares to beg for mercy, and then present the evidence to the emperor and make sure he can't turn over!"

"Opportunity, Xin'er, do you have any ideas?"

Ye Qi looked at Bai Xin, wondering if she had thought of any solution.

Bai Xin shook his head: "No, it's just that we can think together about what opportunity we can use to bring him down in disgrace and punish him for all his crimes!"

Everyone nodded and sighed secretly. They were brothers and sisters, but now they wanted to kill each other. It really showed that imperial power and wealth were ruthless.
