Chapter 310: Just the tip of the iceberg
Yan Yun's eyes were dark, and he tried his best to control his emotions: "Imperial sister——"
"When this princess is doing things, please call me 'Princess'." Yan Li calmly interrupted him and blocked his retreat, "I know the relationship between Shen Wangzhi and my brother, so in order to avoid suspicion, please take the initiative to avoid this matter."
Yan Yun turned his head and looked at Chen Qingfeng and the well-equipped elite behind him. He knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.
But he knew that it was meaningless to continue to entangle.
Yan Li didn't come to meet today at all, she was just to mess things up. She wanted to show off her power and couldn't wait to gain a foothold in Jin State, so she had to make achievements.
Make merits again and again, accumulate more political achievements, so that she can be the princess with a good reputation.
From her attitude towards the Kang family of Yanling, it can be seen that she will not compromise at all. It is not easy to encounter such an opportunity for her to show off her power, how could she let it go?
However...
"My sister is too anxious." Yan Yun slowly restrained his expression and said calmly, "Today's matter is not the business of any one family. The way you deal with it will only cause public anger, and I am afraid that you will not be able to clean up the situation at that time."
Yan Li sneered: "Just wait and see."
After saying this, she obviously didn't want to say anything more to them, and turned to look at the women: "You all follow me down the mountain."
"Yes."
It is said that you should marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine.
The dozens of women in front of them all have good looks, pure, charming, beautiful, and pitiful... The youngest is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest is only in his early twenties.
Most of them are worth the best beauty of women, but they are being casually abused by those cheap men who are already tired of it.
In the whole Jin State, there are many women who are in the same situation as these women, and the current situation is just the tip of the iceberg.
A trace of ice flashed in Yan Li's eyes, and he turned and walked out of the attic.
It is not these weak women who are weak and unable to resist who should be abused, but those dirty, selfish, mean and cheap men!
The women followed Yan Li closely, and looked back while walking, for fear that someone would suddenly come out and take them away.
Yan Yunluo was behind, with his mouth pursed, his eyes dark, and stared at the figure of Yan Li in front of him without saying a word.
Such a slender and petite person should be weak and kind, or innocent and innocent, and look like she doesn't understand things.
I heard that before they went to Mu State to pick her up, she had been living a life of compromise and dependence in the Jiang family, and lived like an orphan under the oppression of her uncle and aunt.
Why did she suddenly become a different person?
If she was still the same as before, they would love her well, give her the best and the best, double compensate her for the grievances she had suffered before, and never let her be treated like that in Jin.
But why.
Why did she become so strong?
How could such a woman be pitied and loved?
Yan Li walked calmly along the mountain road.
In addition to the twenty or so women behind her, there were also elite soldiers close to her. It could barely be said that they were surrounded by people in front and behind, and the battle was huge.
Wherever they passed along the way, people who had not left stopped at the same time and bowed their heads to greet her.
Yan Li took them to the carriage parking area.
Xuan Xuan's carriage was very large, but it was still a bit crowded to accommodate more than twenty people.
Yan Li turned around and looked around.
Even though many people had already left, there were still several carriages parked at the foot of the mountain. She turned to Xuan Xuan and ordered: "Borrow two carriages, and take these women directly to the palace."
"Yes."
"Your Highness, the Princess." A carriage drove over and finally arrived in front of them. Chu Qinqin poked her head out of the carriage, "This carriage is big enough, let's use it."
"Okay, then we don't have to borrow it again." Yan Li nodded, "Let's take Miss Chu's carriage together. In addition, Lan Yue, Hong Shang, and the rest of you, come together, and the others will take that one and squeeze in."
The women had no objection and got on the carriage as ordered.
Yan Li got into the carriage and sat opposite Chu Qinqin, followed by Xuan Xuan.
Chen Qingfeng sent some people to escort them, not to worry about being hijacked halfway.
Lan Yue, Hong Shang and the others had to kneel down after they came in. They were of low status and did not dare to sit with the princess.
However, Yan Li only said one thing: "You are not anyone's concubines now, but victims. Sit down and relax."
The women thanked him.
"There will be another battle in the palace later." Yan Li said in a light tone, "I don't ask you to share the same hatred and face death, but the timid can keep silent. If anyone chooses to go back on his words and lie with his eyes open because of fear of death, this princess will not let you see the moon tonight."
Hong Shang hurriedly shook her head: "Your Highness, the Princess, please let go. We won't."
"We won't either." Lan Yue lowered her head and said softly, "Duke Qi has committed many evil deeds and doesn't treat us as human beings at all. Even if we die, we won't speak for him."
Qi Xuan?
Yan Li's eyebrows moved and raised his eyes to look at Lan Yue.
Just now in the Nanyuan training ground, she was only concerned with implementing her plan and did not pay attention to the identities of these women.
Even if she had heard it, she did not take it seriously.
At this time, she remembered something when she heard Lan Yue speak: "Is Qi Xuan the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel?"
Lan Yue subconsciously raised her head, then lowered her head again, and timidly said: "Yes."
"Qi Yao, the daughter of the Qi family, has an engagement with the emperor." Xuan Xuan said in a light tone, "If we take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Minister of Personnel..."
"There is a jade seal in Qi Xuan's study."
The carriage was silent.
Yan Li's eyes were narrowed: "What did you say?"
"Qi... There is a jade seal in Qi Xuan's study. I don't know if it is real or fake." Lan Yue said tremblingly, with obvious fear in her voice, "Qi Xuan is a playboy and amorous. He has many beautiful concubines at home. He often hangs out with them in the garden, study, pavilion, and other places... I only found out when I accidentally heard the emperor discussing it..."
Hanging out is a euphemism.
To be precise, Qi Xuan did not intend to humiliate and tame them anywhere. Even when he was talking about things in the study, he did not shy away from doing dirty things, and even asked people to kneel beside him while talking about things.
If they served him well, they could keep their lives. If they did not, they would be dragged out and executed at any time.
So he was not worried about any secrets leaking out of the study, because in his eyes, these concubines were people who could be disposed of at will, and they were his possessions.
How could a possession leak the master's secrets?
What happened on Taohua Mountain today was an unprecedented accident, and it was not what they expected at all.
"Ji Shu." Yan Li turned around and ordered, "Go to the Minister of Personnel's Mansion immediately and find this jade seal. Don't give Qi Xuan the opportunity to destroy the evidence."
Lan Yue is Qi Xuan's person. If she is taken away, Qi Xuan will destroy or hide all the evidence that can be destroyed in the house just in case.
She will not give him this opportunity.
There was a sound of wind outside, and Ji Shu had already received the order and left.
