girl let me check

Chapter 401 Forced into the Palace
The phoenix was extremely fast, and Wen Zhexue brought Fang Weihan back to Changming within an hour.

There was no need for her protection in Changming City, so the girl turned into stardust and floated away, intending to find some dessert for Yu Mo. Fang Weihan went straight to Pei Jie's residence.

It is a day off today, so Pei Jie is most likely not working at the Ministry of Works. He should be researching something at home.

When Fang Weihan knocked on the door, as expected, he found Pei Jie working in the yard.

"Brother Fang? Didn't you lead the troops to Jingzhou?" Pei Jie was very surprised to see that it was him.

"I came back specially to pick you up."

Fang Weihan told Pei Jie about his general idea and suggested that he go to Jingzhou with him.

"Brother Fang needs me, so I will do my best."

Pei Jie agreed immediately without a word of complaint, and turned around to look for pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"I will write a letter to ask for leave from the government office."

Fang Weihan was touched and said, "Thank you very much for this time. I will make the decision and give you ten times the salary of the Director of Works."

"That's not necessary. Brother Fang has been very kind to me. What I have done today is all voluntary and has nothing to do with the amount of my salary."

"Just take it if I tell you to."

"Well... then I'll have to decline the offer." Pei Jie had no choice but to agree.

"Xiao Wu, pack up your things, we are going to Jingzhou with His Royal Highness Prince Guangling!"

"Okay, Master!" Gai Xiaowu agreed excitedly.

The little guy has never been out of the house since he was born. When he heard that he could go to Jingzhou for a trip this time, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Fang Weihan walked out of the courtyard gate and waited for the two to finish packing.

He was just about to take out a bottle of Mingyue Luhua Shuishuiqun to pass the time when he heard a commotion coming from the direction of the street corner.

Fang Weihan looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that the noise seemed to be made by a team of Jinwu Guards.

In front of a store, goods were scattered all over the ground. The Jinwu Guards had an argument with several people, and a circle of people gathered around to watch the fun.

Jinwu Guard?
He frowned, walked closer, mixed in with the crowd of onlookers, and prepared to listen to what was happening.

"We are from the Xie family of Chen County. What do you want to do?"

The owner of the store seemed to be away, so one of the shop assistants plucked up the courage to step forward and shouted.

"The Xie family of Chenjun? That's right." The leading Jinwu Guard sneered.

"We have received an imperial decree that someone in the Chenjun Xie family has taken bribes and abused the power of law, using the imperial court as an excuse to enrich himself. We are now ordered to seal up the property and shops of the Chenjun Xie family!"

"Jinwu Guards are doing this, and those who have nothing to do with it should get out of the way immediately!"

Hearing this, the crowd around immediately burst into whispers.

"What? Chenjun Xie Clan? Isn't it Shangyuan Wang Clan?"

"What do you know? These noble families are not good people. They all deserve to die, whether they are the Xie family or the Wang family!"

"Jinwu Guards, well done!"

"This is all thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess! I knew that Her Royal Highness has the ability to see through everything!"

The crowd dispersed, Fang Weihan pressed down the edge of his hat, and left with them silently.

He took out the Moonlight Reed Catkins.

Sure enough, Xie Lingwan's news was clearly visible.

Xie Lingwan: "At the court meeting that just ended, Fang Tang personally issued an imperial edict, accusing Xie Han and Xie Bao of dereliction of duty and harming the country, and ordered the Shangshu Mansion to investigate the matter. At the same time, he ordered the Jinwu Guard to confiscate all the property of the Chenjun Xie family in Changming City."

Xie Lingwan: "The specific amount of assets implicated has not yet been fully counted. Although the situation is still under control, it is still serious. I must appease all the noble families that have business dealings with the Xie family of Chen County."

Xiao Jin: "Is Fang Tang crazy? What on earth does she want to do? Does she not want to cooperate with us anymore?"

Xie Lingwan: "I haven't figured out her intention yet."

Xie Lingwan: "I am on my way to the Xie Mansion. The most urgent task is to stabilize everyone's confidence, otherwise the Chenjun Xie family may lose its influence in Yongzhou."

Xie Lingwan: "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Xie Lingwan: "I can handle it."

Wanwan...

Fang Weihan put away the Mingyue Reed Flowers and walked back to Pei Jie's courtyard in silence. From time to time, cavalrymen of the Jinwu Guards rode past him on horseback.

As the richest family in the world, Chenjun Xie's assets in Changming are so huge that if they want to seize all of them, they must mobilize the full strength of the left and right Jinwu Guards.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"The Jinwu Guards are doing business, get out of the way!"

The roar of the Jinwu Guards came faintly from a distance, crushed into the strong winter wind.

He walked to the gate of Pei Jie's courtyard and stopped.

After a moment's silence, Fang Weihan punched the wall beside him, creating a circle of spider-web-like cracks.

"Oh shit……"

He stood there dejectedly, raised his hands to grab his hair, and in an instant he seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength.

Fang Weihan leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky. The gloomy clouds looked like ashes in an incense burner.

"Are you OK?"

Yun Shu appeared beside him and said worriedly.

She had never seen Fang Weihan like this before. It seemed that since he met her, Fang Weihan had always been positive and optimistic. No matter how big the difficulties were, he would face them calmly.

He is not as depressed as he is now. It doesn't seem like he is grateful for the enemy's strength... but rather he seems to be resentful of his own incompetence.

"I'm fine." Fang Weihan said softly.

Fang Weihan was very worried about Xie Lingwan.

He knew that the stubborn girl would never tell him her real difficulties.

She endured for seven years and suffered a lot before she finally overthrew her father and second uncle and seized back the power of Chenjun Xie family while surrounded by wolves.

Even though she was covered in wounds, she had always protected him in her own way, without ever asking for anything in return.

there has never been.

There is a scale in everyone's heart, and at the two ends of the scale, the price they both pay in this relationship is never equal.

Fang Weihan once swore in his heart that no matter how much harm he suffered, he would never let this girl who called him husband suffer any mishap.

But now... he broke this promise.

He let out a breath.

"Yun Shu, I have never been a calm person." Fang Weihan said.

"I know, but you..." Yun Shu hesitated and finally sighed.

After staying with Fang Weihan for a long time, she could more clearly understand what kind of position Xie Lingwan held in Fang Weihan's heart.

Fang Tang's choice to take action against the Xie family of Chenjun has already touched his reverse scale.

"Oh...what is going on?" The girl felt very upset.

When Pei Jie opened the door, he saw Fang Weihan who was no different from usual. It was as if he had just waited at the door for a while and did nothing.

"Go to Zhou's car dealership at the South Gate and wait for me. I'm going to take care of some personal matters and will be there soon." Fang Weihan said.

"Okay." Pei Jie didn't ask any more questions.

Watching the two of them walking south, Fang Weihan walked in the opposite direction.

He is going to the East Palace.

Changming City was particularly noisy today. The Jinwu Guards attacking from all sides had caused chaos in the entire city. Almost every few dozen steps, a shop of the Chenjun Xie family was closed down. The people of Changming were in a panic, hiding in their homes with their doors closed, fearing that they would be punished by these Jinwu Guards in the next second.

Fang Weihan had no idea how many soldiers of the Jinwu Guard had run past him. He went upstream, and all he saw was desolate and desolate places.

He walked to the main gate of the East Palace, without taking off his bamboo hat, but just showed the Bai Ze Fu on his waist.

"Please tell Her Royal Highness the Princess that Fang Weihan wants to see you."

Fang Weihan said lightly.

"His Royal Highness Prince Guangling?" The Luantai guards at the door were a little surprised.

Didn't this prince lead the troops to Jingzhou a few days ago? Why is he still in Changming now? "Your Highness, the princess is not in good health. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to meet you." The Luantai Guard said in a businesslike manner.

These people were absolutely loyal to Fang Tang and would not obey any orders other than Fang Tang's. Naturally, their awe of him as the leader of the Eastern Palace Guards faded.

"Please let her know, maybe she will change her mind." Fang Weihan repeated patiently.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Her Royal Highness the Princess said she won't see anyone recently." Luantai Wei said.

She knew that the Prince of Guangling in front of her held military power and had just won a victory, making him a great hero of the Changming Dynasty.

But so what? He is a member of the Fang family, and his Highness is the crown prince!

No matter how great a hero is, how can he not listen to the Crown Prince? Thinking of the scene in front of him where Fang Weihan spoke well of his own Highness in front of the people, Luantai Wei couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

However, intimidated by Fang Weihan's status and reputation, she still appeared respectful on the surface.

The winter wind is cold, dry and dazzling, blowing clothes into the air.

"You don't want to be shamed, do you?"

Fang Weihan said softly.

"Your Highness, what did you say?" The Luantai Guard thought he had misheard.

Blood gushed out violently, and an extremely powerful force hit her chest.

"boom!"

Luantai Wei's body flew backwards like a cannonball, hit the city wall in front of him heavily, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The rest of the Luantai Guards stared at him in amazement, not reacting at all to what was happening.

They saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Guangling of the Empire drew his sword, and his body was filled with the absolute power of the peak of the fifth level of Mingwu.

The sword's edge was as cold as ice, and blood-red thunder was roaring.

The Luantai guards drew their weapons and looked at him tremblingly, not knowing how to respond.

"Get out of here, or I'll kill you without mercy."

Fang Weihan's voice was calm, but it contained irrepressible murderous intent.

Wearing the cloak was the last bit of face he left for Fang Tang. But if these Luantai guards didn't have eyes, he didn't mind the luminous blood.

He has killed many people, both good and bad, so these few are no exception.

The Luantai guards were so frightened that they dared not move and could only stand where they were.

Fang Weihan kicked open the door of the East Palace, and the Lingshan Dragon Pond Formation was automatically activated, but the circling dragon circled around him and then fell into a deep sleep again.

It won't attack before the other party is cold.

In the main hall of the East Palace, Fang Tang was listening to Bilong reporting the news sent back by the Jinwu Guards.

"All of Chenjun Xie's assets in Changming have been confiscated, including the part other than those under the names of Xie Han and Xie Bao." Bilong said.

"Well, the rest will be returned tomorrow." Fang Tang answered casually.

She deliberately left the scope of the property vague this morning, allowing her subordinates to interpret it freely and expand the scope to include the entire Xie family in Chen County.

Fang Tang certainly would not fall out with the Xie family of Chenjun. The purpose of doing so was to give Xie Lingwan a warning, and she could also use this opportunity to distance herself from the relationship.

"You can step down now." Fang Tang said.

"Your Highness..." Bilong stood there but did not move.

"Are you trying to say that I went too far in this matter?" Fang Tang asked.

"It's too early." Bilong said.

"Not early. I know aristocratic families better than you do. If we have to wait until the Xie family consolidates its power before we can take action, how can we have such an opportunity as now?"

Fang Tang picked up the red pen and prepared to approve today's official document.

"You should leave..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang and the main door of the hall was kicked open roughly.

Fang Tang and Bilong looked towards the main door and discovered that the intruder was someone they had never expected.

"you……"

Fang Tang's wrist trembled slightly, and the blood-red ink accidentally fell on the paper, smudged the handwriting.

She stood up suddenly and looked at him with trembling eyes.

Bilong sighed softly.

She had had such concerns a long time ago.

But when Fang Weihan appeared here with a sword in hand, it was too late to say anything.

"Protect His Highness!"

A large number of Luantai guards rushed into the main hall and surrounded Fang Weihan.

Swords and knives were like a forest, flashing cold light. Fang Weihan stood in the center of the swords and knives, without any movement, just looking at Fang Tang coldly.

Her heart ached and she could hardly breathe when she was looked at like that.

"Everyone, step back." Fang Tang said.

"But Your Highness..." The Luantai guards were a little hesitant.

"I said, everyone back off!" Fang Tang got angry.

The Luantai Guards then obeyed and left, and Bilong followed behind them, being the last one to leave, closing the palace door behind her.

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

"Ninth brother, why did you come to my East Palace?" Fang Tang forced a smile.

Even though the fact was right in front of her, Fang Tang still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Maybe he didn't come here for this matter?

Maybe……

"Why did you ask people to attack the Xie family of Chenjun?" Fang Weihan asked.

Fang Tang's heart instantly sank to the bottom, falling into a bottomless cold abyss.

After the panic pain, there was a burst of intense anger.

Why? !

Why would he go to such lengths for Xie Lingwan? Just a single blow of oppression could make him come to her door?

"Fang Weihan, I am the crown prince, the future ruler of the Great Zhou."

Her expression instantly turned cold, and her eyes pierced him like knives, even though she was also aching inside.

"I don't need to explain to anyone what I do. What I do is not under your jurisdiction."

Fang Weihan looked at her disappointedly.

"Royal sister, this may be the last time I call you Royal sister."

Fang Tang's pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned from red to pale in an instant.

"Xie Lingwan is my wife. Without her, there would be no Fang Weihan today. She has to worry about the survival of the family and the gains and losses of luck, but I don't have to worry about that. I am just a lonely prince."

Fang Weihan suppressed his anger and said coldly.

"What do you mean? Fang Weihan? You must remember that your last name is Fang too!" The anger that was briefly replaced by panic surged again, and Fang Tang was almost overwhelmed. "I did this for the Great Zhou! What qualifications do you have to blame me!"

"If the prosperity of this country comes at the cost of my wife suffering injustice, then I think there is no need for it to exist!" Fang Wei said in a cold voice.

"you……"

Fang Tang had never been as angry as he was today.

What on earth does Xie Lingwan have the right to do this! What on earth does she have the right to do this? !

Jealousy, resentment, humiliation, grievance, a host of emotions were churning in her mind.

"Are you forcing the emperor to abdicate? Fang Weihan?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess squeezed out these words from between her teeth.
