Chapter 487 Resistance
"May 1st is a good day, it's the birthday of the Great Emperor Changsheng. Our Queen is really good at choosing dates."
Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi picked up the pen and wrote the word "Fu" on the paper, but the mumbling in her heart never stopped for a moment.
"The second princess' birthday is the first day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth prince and the fifteenth princess' birthday is the first day of the fifth lunar month, and the ninth prince, our Crown Prince's birthday is in September, which is only a month away from October. Why doesn't she hold it back and wait until October, the same day as Your Majesty's Christmas?"
Luzhu was grinding ink quietly. Hearing this, he looked up at Jiang Lanzhi helplessly: "My lady, there is no way I can hold this back."
"Are you envious of the Empress for giving birth to another royal heir? Please go and pester His Majesty and ask him to give the Ninth Princess a brother or sister from the same mother." Yun Ying said with a smile, her eyebrows curved.
Jiang Lanzhi paused, glared at Yunying, and said with a smile: "You girl, do you need to be taught a lesson? When your mouth is itchy, you use something to cover it. You are so talkative. The eighth prince has married a wife, and I still gave birth to a child. Aren't you ashamed?"
"I don't know what happened to the Eighth Prince either."
When Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi thought of her own son Qin Mingyan, she suddenly felt depressed. She no longer had the heart to joke with the palace maids. She lowered her head and quietly wrote the word "Fu".

"Eighth brother, what are you daydreaming about?"
"I was wondering...what does it mean that my father asked me to return to the capital to explain myself first?"
"The letter said that the local officials impeached the three of us brothers for colluding with the Guangdong and Guangdong naval forces and the Southwest Army to disrupt the local area and start a war. Wasn't it the Fifth Brother who did it? He did it alone. Why did he let the two of us go back and explain ourselves, leaving the 'culprit' to continue to stir up trouble in Annan? Could this be pinned on you and me?"
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan looked up at the seventh prince Qin Mingrui with a worried look on his face.
"The emperor did not issue an explicit decree, but instead sent a secret letter, which means we don't have to go back for the time being." The seventh prince Qin Mingrui looked back indifferently.
"Without a clear decree, does the secret letter not mean what the emperor intended?"
"Eighth brother, why did Father only send a secret letter when he could have issued an order directly?"
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan frowned, puzzled, "Please give me some advice, Seventh Brother."
"For Father, no matter what happened during the mission we three brothers took on together, if there was any trouble, an excuse of ignorance would only be a sophistry in his eyes."
"So what does Seventh Brother mean? You want to disobey the order and stay for the time being?"
"Yes, I will write a letter of grievance to my father, and he will understand me."
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan couldn't help but squat down with his head in his hands, scratching his hair.
I was devastated.
The seventh prince has the confidence and courage to go against the emperor, but he doesn't.
He must go back.
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan’s eyes darkened.
"As your younger brother, I would like to advise you that the Fifth Brother is reckless. If you stay, you don't know what other charges he will bring upon you. Father and the others all know that the Fifth Brother is overbearing. As your younger brother, we can neither persuade him nor stop him."
"Seventh brother, you said it yourself. As long as we stay with him, we can't shirk our responsibilities. Why do we have to stay? Can you take over the mess that Annan is in now?"
Apart from the current situation in Annan, no one knew what the fifth brother, the Guangdong and Guangdong navy, and Meng Xingye of the Southwest Army were planning. He had decided to sue, but he hoped to sue together with his seventh brother.
"The aristocratic families in Annan have been uprooted, and there are only a few scholars who learn Mandarin. Annan is still one step away from becoming Annan. I will write to my father and ask him to send a few judges and scholars to come here so that Confucianism and Dayong's law can take root in Annan."
"Are you serious? It's just a barbarian land, why should a prince condescend to help? It would be more than enough to ask the emperor to send a sixth-rank official over, why do we need you?"
"I want to try to cure an area."
