Chapter 1026: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Forty-Eight)
When it doesn't concern you, watching a show is naturally fun.
Qingli stayed in the capital, and besides making tea and wine, enjoying flowers and going outings, she also managed her private property, opened a few new stores, made some money, and made some friends.
When I have free time, I will find Qiqi to watch the live broadcast and observe the latest situation on the front line.
As for Song Qingting, she hadn't paid special attention to him for a long time. After all, he was already disabled, and Song Qingting was not the kind of person who was determined and cruel to himself and even crueler to others. Qingli didn't think that Song Qingting could threaten her.
The reason she was paying attention to Song Qingting again was because something had happened. Qingli watched Song Qingting pounding the bed. She was so angry now, but once that news reached Zhao Lan, Song Qingting would no longer have the energy to be angry or arrogant. She would just lie awake all night, worried that she was dying.
So what happened that would cause Zhao Lan to change his attitude towards Song Qingting and make Song Qingting go one step further into the sea of fire and swords?
In fact, the emperor was naturally dissatisfied with Zhao Lan's escape. If Zhao Lan had not escaped, he would have saved a lot of trouble. Those who should be imprisoned could have been imprisoned, and those who should be executed could have been executed. Why would he have to spend so much manpower and material resources to suppress the rebels like he did now?
Especially after receiving news from the front line, Guo Xuezhen hadn't even flattened the gates of Fengli County! So many soldiers had died.
While he was cursing Guo Xuezhen for being a waste, he also hated Zhao Lan and Ding Yangshu for their wolfish ambitions and for having long been planning a rebellion. They deserved to be torn into pieces like the King of Lu!
The emperor was worried that the war would last for three to five years and the national treasury would be depleted.
He sent an imperial physician to Haicheng County, and the Marquis of Zhenhai had already regained consciousness, though he still needed to remain in bed to recuperate. Wei Ying had moved swiftly, having already recovered much of Haicheng County's lost territory, achieving initial success.
In contrast, the emperor was dissatisfied with the war situation in the northeast.
This battle in Northeast China should not have been so troublesome. To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If Zhao Lan had not escaped, Ding Yangshu alone, without Zhao Lan's power and status, would not have been able to achieve anything.
Whenever things don't go well, the emperor will think of the person who got in the way - Song Qingting.
Why did Song Qingting, who was supposed to be in Huangjue Temple, end up in Zhao Lan's hands and become a hostage? If it weren't for her, Wei Ying wouldn't have let Zhao Lan escape!
The results of the investigation conducted by the emperor's secret guards came out. After the investigation, they found out that a woman was so restless that she actually colluded with Zhao Lan.
The emperor discovered that Song Qingting had been in Zhao Lan's backyard, as a concubine! What a disgrace to the noble lady!
The emperor suspected that Song Qingting was not kidnapped by Zhao Lan at all, but took the initiative to follow Zhao Lan and pretended to be a hostage to threaten the pursuers.
Because of the crippled Fourth Prince Zhao Yi, the Emperor had always disliked Song Qingting. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's consideration, he would have sentenced Song Qingting to death long ago.
Now Song Qingting relies on her status as the daughter of the prime minister to do whatever she wants, interfere with state affairs, and has a low character. She is really not worthy of her status as a noble lady.
The suspicious emperor even suspected Wei Ying and Prime Minister Song, but ultimately chose to believe that the two had not colluded with Zhao Lan, and that Prime Minister Song and Zhao Lan still had a grudge against each other because of the assassination.
The emperor still needed Prime Minister Song and Wei Ying, so naturally he would not touch them.
But he was dissatisfied with Zhao Lan's stubborn resistance and felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to find someone to vent his anger.
When the emperor was angry, a single word could change a person's fate. Prime Minister Song had previously fined himself a year's salary, believing the emperor didn't mind his second daughter's affairs. Now, the emperor summoned him to the palace to discuss state affairs.
When Prime Minister Song was about to take his leave, the Emperor smiled and said, "I heard that your second daughter will be returning soon. She has been in seclusion in Huangjue Temple during the cold winter, and she must have understood the principles of the world. You must teach her well in the future and make sure she doesn't make any more mistakes."
