Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Resourceful
The three of them arrived at the abandoned wooden cabin.

After figuring out the situation, Qin Mubai couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed.

According to the plan and arrangement he had originally arranged, Princess Gaoyang had to settle the Emperor’s anger first. After the storm dissipated, the Emperor would definitely arrange a meeting between the Princess and Fang Yiai. They would get to know each other first. This was a precedent in the past. The customs of the Tang Dynasty were relatively open. Even in arranged marriages, it was rare for men and women not to know each other before marriage. They would “connect” with each other, which was a bit similar to today’s blind date.

According to the plan, Princess Gaoyang would obediently comply with the royal order to “go on a blind date” with Fang Yiai and stabilize the Emperor, Fang Xuanling, and the others. After seeing each other for a few times, Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai met in private and gave him aphrodisiacs in wine and tea. (There were quite a few of these in the palace. Even if Princess Gaoyang was young and careless, it wouldn’t be difficult to get them, let alone Pang Fei.) The layout here is a climax, Fang Yiai eat this kind of thing, coupled with his own fancy for romance, how can he restrain himself?

When his lecherous heart was triggered by thunder, Princess Gaoyang would naturally resist desperately. It was necessary to carry a sharp blade and scissors with him. The following scene was very similar to the one in The Story of the Deer Cauldron. However, Qin Mubai was hundreds of kilometers away, and it was Pang Fei who was responsible for protecting the princess outside.

According to this plan, whether or not he could castrate Fang Yiai was not important. As long as he dared to act out of line, he would definitely die. The Brown Emperor’s wedding was a complete mess. Princess Gao Yang might be a little frightened, but Pang Fei’s protection from the side was definitely not dangerous.

However, the evolution of the facts was somewhat beyond Qin Mubai’s expectations.

It was also because Princess Gaoyang was too anxious and careless. Before Pang Fei could get on the sentry post, he couldn’t wait to execute Plan A. She only brought two palace maids out of the palace and made an appointment with Fang Yiai. The greatest ideal of Fang Yiai’s life was to marry a princess and then live a life of prosperity and wait for death. At this time, he was naturally flattered. He happily ran to the place designated by the princess to attend the appointment and drank tea and wine mixed with aphrodisiac without any precautions.

And then there was the plot, Fang Yiai’s beastly nature–but the brat was rough, but he wasn’t very confused in his heart. Even after consuming so many aphrodisiacs, he still didn’t dare to touch Princess Gaoyang’s side. He threw Princess Gaoyang away, but he caught one of her maidservants and humiliated her …

Princess Gaoyang was frightened. How could she care about a lowly servant? She had escaped first. After that maidservant was insulted, he immediately committed suicide!

Princess Gaoyang’s two great carelessness caused the whole plan to fall into disarray. First, without Pang Fei, his safety was not guaranteed. If it weren’t for the last trace of sobriety in Fang Yi’s heart, it was very likely that she would have been the one to suffer! Second … she actually brought other women with her. According to Qin Mubai’s plan, this could only be done when the two of them had a private meeting. Ponfey hid nearby and secretly protected them, then publicly exposed Fang Yiai’s scandal. This was the perfect strategy!

In the end, Princess Gao Yang’s self-esteem seemed to have suffered a little bit of damage-could it be that I’m not as attractive as this maidservant?

Naturally, such a scandal quickly spread, causing the entire city to be in turmoil. It was even more earth-shattering than the previous gossip between her and Qin Mubai!

Although there were some deviations in the plan, the effect was still achieved. Princess Gaoyang took the opportunity to make a fuss and said that she would never marry Fang Yiai. Unexpectedly, the Emperor still refused and angrily scolded Princess Gaoyang. At the same time, Fang Xuanling beat up Fang Yiai.

Even so, there was not the slightest sign of dissolution of the engagement. Princess Gaoyang panicked. She really came to “fight to the death”, hanging herself in the harem to dive into the river and take poison, causing the entire imperial palace to jump from head to toe. Li Shimin was both shocked and annoyed. At the same time, he was worried that Princess Gaoyang would find something short-sighted because of this. After making trouble a few times, Princess Gaoyang almost lost her life and didn’t dare to do anything else, so she plotted to flee.

Thus, this scene appeared in front of him.

…

Qin Mubai and Li Ke were both a little overwhelmed, and this matter was a little unpredictable!

“Third Brother, surnamed Qin, no matter what, I would rather die than marry that Fang Yiai!” Princess Gaoyang seemed to have done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded. She was also like a child who had suffered great grievances. She pouted and curled her face and said, “You didn’t see what happened at that time. He was like an animal that killed my maidservant … I hated him to death before, and now I wish I could kill him in one slash!” “If I were to live with such a man for the rest of my life, I would rather die a head-on collision!”

“Then you shouldn’t have escaped the palace privately?” Li Ke frowned in embarrassment and said, “Actually, the situation was originally in your favor. Fang Yi Ai made a mistake and you fought to the death. This is very advantageous to you. However, you actually escaped at this time … and even escaped to our place. That makes people suspicious.”

“I know I’m a little reckless … but you don’t understand my feelings at all!” Princess Gaoyang said grievously, “At that time, I was alone and helpless. I really wanted to die!” Although my mother loves me, she can only speak to her father in front of such a big event. There is only one person who can help me, what can I do? … In this world, only Third Brother and the two of you surnamed Qin dared to trust me, so I ran away with all my life. Actually, I was just poisoned and my body was weak. I almost died of illness halfway through the journey. Not only do you not care about protecting me, you even scold me like this … ”

“Alright, let’s not talk anymore.” Li Ke saw Princess Gaoyang put on a pitiful look and was about to cry when he saw the situation. He hurriedly comforted her.

“Your Highness, it’s useless to regret it now. There’s no need to blame the princess. We should think of a way to solve the current problem.” Qin Mubai said to Li Ke.

Li Ke smiled bitterly, “She is smart. Wait for me at Puzhou Post, the only way I will return to the capital. Then she insisted that I bring her to see you and say that you have a way. Now it’s your turn to play. To be honest, I’m not usually a person without any ideas, but I know too little about this matter and have no way to plan. I’ll listen to you.”

Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat. Hearing Li Ke’s words, Princess Gaoyang’s mouth was very tight. She didn’t tell him that I, someone from Qin, had set up a scheme for Princess Gaoyang!

At this time, Princess Gaoyang, who was standing behind Li Ke, wiped away the unnecessary tears at the corner of her eyes while blinking her left eye at Qin Mubai playfully. She was still secretly laughing.

“Holy shit, she can still laugh at this time!” Qin Mubai was both angry and funny. However, looking at her gaze, Qin Mubai understood in her heart that it was indeed as she had expected. She had always kept her mouth shut towards Li Ke.

Next, Qin Mubai would be able to perform well.

“Your Highness, tell me such a private and important matter. If you trust me so much, then I will no longer be tender. I can only spare no effort to repay you with death!” Qin Mubai formally cupped his fists and said with a serious expression, “First of all, King Wu must send Princess Gaoyang back to the Imperial Palace and hand her over to His Majesty the Emperor!”

“What? Why is it like this?” Princess Gaoyang was immediately shocked, “I won’t go back! I won’t go back even if I die. I’d rather stay here than go back to the palace!”

“Little sister, don’t be anxious. Listen to him.” Li Ke stopped her and said, “Mubai must have his reasons for saying that.”

“Princess, if you don’t return to the Imperial Palace, then you are not resisting, but betraying His Majesty.” Qin Mubai said sternly, “This is the break between you and the emperor. Are you willing to do this?”

“Of course I don’t …” Princess Gaoyang curled her face and said, “But why wouldn’t Father cancel my engagement to Fang’er? I can’t even fight to the death!”

“It was you who pushed too hard that caused this to happen.” Qin Mubai said, “He is not only your father, but also the emperor of today.” Just imagine, as the ruler of the world, under the coercion of his daughter, changing the sacred intent that had already been issued, what kind of existence would there be left for the ruler’s might to spread out to him? Actually, you didn’t have to fight to the death at that time, just wait and see. Fang Yiai humiliated your maid and killed herself. This is a crime against the clan. Even if the Emperor did not commit any crimes because of Fang Xuanling’s contributions, he would still apologize to the Emperor himself, given Fang Xuanling’s habit of being cautious. Even if this sin doesn’t invite him, his Fang Clan will never dare to marry you again. It is only a matter of time before the engagement between you and Fang Er is dissolved. But you are too anxious, making the situation a little difficult to deal with. ”

“Go straight to the heart of the matter!” Li Ke said resolutely.

“That’s right, I’m so stupid … I was really mad at that time, I was too anxious!” Princess Gaoyang also stamped her feet in regret, wishing she could slap herself a few times.

“It’s not too late to mend the situation.” Qin Mubai said, “It’s not too late for you to return to the palace with King Wu now.” But the strategy is going to change a little. First of all, you are guilty of escaping from the palace. You must take the initiative to apologize to the emperor. After that, he repented to him, saying that his previous actions were too outrageous and unorthodox. He had already repented under King Wu’s persuasion, and promised to obediently marry into the Fang Clan and not cause any trouble. ”

“How about this … According to what you said, Fang Xuanling will definitely not accept this marriage again, right? In fact, I’m doing this to retreat as a way to ease the relationship between me and my father, right?” Princess Gaoyang asked.

“You’re finally enlightened.” Li Ke patted Princess Gaoyang’s shoulder and smiled helplessly, “It’s still Mubai who is resourceful. Little sister, just listen to him. Don’t make any mistakes this time. It’s not too late for us to stay here for too long. We should take advantage of the night to hurry back to Pu Zhou Post!”

“Oh” Princess Gaoyang nodded her head resentfully and whispered, “I originally wanted to stay in Jiangzhou for a few more days, but I’m going to chase her away …”

Qin Mubai and Li Ke’s foreheads almost drew a black line at the same time-at this time, they still wanted to play?
