Chapter 1102 The Secret History of the Princess

Han Bin pondered slightly, saw the gloomy look on Mrs. Hua Qing's face, and said softly: "If you... don't want to mention it, let's not say it. I don't want to make you unhappy. You... forget all the unhappy things in the past!"

A hint of gratitude appeared in Mrs. Hua Qing's eyes, but she shook her head and said, "I said, I don't want to hide it from you. And some things are buried in my heart, but I can never forget them..."

Han Bin reached out and held Mrs. Hua Qing's hand, and said softly: "Okay, say it, I'll listen!"

Mrs. Hua Qing nodded slightly, thought for a while, and finally said, "When the prince passed away, the royal family not only had no savings, but also... owed a lot of debts. After only a few months of his death, the creditors came to collect the debts...!" A sad smile said, "The phoenix that landed was not as good as a chicken. He was extremely luxurious during his lifetime, and had little income and could not make ends meet. The shop industries under his name had long been squandered by him...!"

Han Bin has been in Beijing for so many years, so he naturally knows some market conditions.

In the Dayan country, the royal family seems to have supreme authority, but there are not many places that can be controlled. The local family structure and the important benefit of the royal family is that the royal tax drawn from the taxes of each county enters the inner treasury.

The royal family is not prosperous, but there are naturally many royal relatives in Yanjing City, most of which are corrupt. They sing and dancing, and they are all day long. There are only a few royal relatives who can stand alone like Cao Yin, Changde Hou.

Royal members can receive a certain share of silver from the inner treasury every year, but if they rely solely on the silver from the inner treasury, the royal family members will probably go with the northwest wind. Therefore, in the capital, every royal family member will run several store industries behind the scenes, which is well known.

King Xuande was once glorious when he fought for the throne, but in the end he failed to compete for the throne, he began to degenerate and become corrupt. He was drunk and dreamed of death all day long, and fell into the fragrance of wine and color. His industry was soon squandered and borrowed a large amount of silver to squander. When his body collapsed and died, he threw down a big mess and handed it over to Mrs. Hua Qing to clean up.

Mrs. Hua Qing looked sad: "The prince passed away, and the creditor came to the door. No one came to help me anymore. I could only send someone to secretly pawn the items in the mansion... In fact, there are no valuable things that can be pawned. Even the dowry I came with my marriage back then had been squandered by him. He was a dignified prince's mansion, but he had to deal with all kinds of creditors every day. At that time, I even had the desire to die...!"

Han Bin was also sad.

In fact, he was not unclear about this. He was wandering around in the capital, so he naturally had some clues about the strange things in the capital. He also heard that after King Xuande's death, a large number of creditors went to the royal palace to ask for debts.

As Mrs. Hua Qing said, the phoenix was not as good as a chicken when landing. After King Xuande failed to compete for emperor, most of the government and opposition forces that had been dependent on him dispersed, and only a small number of trusted officials were ready to make a comeback with him.

Unfortunately, after the defeat, the prince no longer had the fighting spirit and became addicted to wine and sex. His subordinates were ineffective in their advice, so they left helplessly. In the end, they became lonely and lonely, with a cold family.

Not only did the court officials look down on such a prince, but the creditors had a loan note on hand, they were not afraid of his status as a prince. Moreover, since he died, he only left a widowed princess. The creditors had their own power, so naturally they would not have any concerns and came to ask for debts.

This incident was once rumored in Beijing, and it became a joke when the playboys in Beijing were drinking and funny. The jokes were filled with obscene words, which directly involved Mrs. Hua Qing. At that time, Han Bin did not know Mrs. Hua Qing, and he had also ridiculed her several times. When she thought of it, Han Bin felt a soreness in her heart, and knew that Mrs. Hua Qing must have suffered unbearable pain at that time.

Even if ordinary people are forced to pay debts by creditors, it is an extremely embarrassing and humiliating matter, not to mention the dignified Princess of Qing Kingdom, Princess Dayan.

Thinking of such a noble woman facing the aggressiveness of a group of creditors, Han Bin held Mrs. Hua Qing's small hand tightly, her face full of pity.

"I have taken care of everything I should have, and the huge debts I owe cannot be blocked at all." Mrs. Hua Qing said: "Just when I was helpless, someone suddenly sent me a sum of silver. The silver can not only repay the debt, but also more than enough... After the silver was sent, I asked the man who sent it, but he did not say it clearly, just said it was sent from the palace to solve my urgent needs. The origin of the silver is unclear, and I didn't want to use it at first, but... but those creditors were too fierce to force me, and I could only use the silver to fill the hole first...!"

Han Bin frowned and said, "Showing your kindness to nothing, either a traitor or a thief... If such a huge amount of silver is unreasonable, the other party may have other plans!"

He learned from his mistakes. At that time, Jin Qianfang distributed the bonus to him, which made him proud. Finally, he realized that he had other plans. Fortunately, Han Mo helped him solve the mess at that time, otherwise he would have fallen into the trap of Jin Qianfang.

It was also after that incident that Han Bin understood a truth that there was absolutely no free lunch in the world. It seemed like a huge pie, but there was often a huge pit under the pie.

At this time, when Mrs. Hua Qing heard someone send a large amount of silver for no reason, she immediately felt that the matter was extraordinary.

When Mrs. Hua Qing heard him say this, her delicate body shook and then said with a wry smile: "But I was so anxious at that time that I didn't think much about it... I knew a few months later, suddenly one day someone came to the door, and I knew the origin of the money!"

"Who is it?" Han Bin asked hurriedly. He really wanted to know who would give out such a large sum of money to help Mrs. Hua Qing overcome the difficulties.

Mrs. Hua Qing bit her red lips and hesitated slightly. Finally, Hua Rong said dismally: "It's the prince!"

...

"Crown Prince?" Han Bin was shocked when he heard this.

Mrs. Hua Qing pointed at her first note: "Yes, after he came to the door that day, he personally admitted that he sent someone to deliver the money. It was because he saw those creditors harassed the royal palace all day long, and he really couldn't bear it, so he helped..."

Han Bin frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "You...the person you like...is him?"

Mrs. Hua Qing's eyes looked complicated and she didn't say immediately, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she said: "Since then, he paid the money for the food and drinks of the royal palace. In order to maintain the dignity of the royal palace, he secretly sent a lot of money. When I was most distressed, he helped me with it, and... and he often told me the pain in his heart...!" When he said this, he saw Han Bin's face a little pale, and knew that this was what he said to Han Bin.

She felt a little blown, and she couldn't bear to say more, and just said, "Maybe out of gratitude, or maybe because of the helplessness in his heart, I gradually became a fond of him... After that, he handed over the money shop under his command to me and asked me to take care of it secretly. A part of the income was distributed directly to the expenses of the royal palace. I didn't want it, but... but he begged me to help. He was kind to me, and I couldn't refuse it in the end, so I could only follow it..."

Only then did Han Bin realize that the real behind the Jinqianfang, which was burned completely by a fire, was Prince Yan, and Mrs. Hua Qing became one of the behind the Jinqianfang because of the prince.

When he was amazed at the Jinqianfang, he was so happy that his heart was firmly held by Mrs. Huaqing. He always thought that Jinqianfang was the property left over from King Xuande. He really didn't expect that the real boss was Prince Yan.

"Do you look down on me and think I am despised?" Mrs. Hua Qing smiled miserably and said, "According to the genealogy, the prince should have called me my uncle. He is my nephew, but... I fell in love with my nephew before I knew it...!" Her pretty face was already a little pale. Obviously, when these things are mentioned, her heart is still very sad.

She didn't want to hide anything from Han Bin. Even if it was such a distorted love that was contrary to human ethics, she still confessed it to Han Bin.

In fact, every dynasty and every generation, not only within the royal family, but also within the nobles and ordinary gentry, are inevitably dirty and unethical. They are just hidden under the colorful and gloriousness.

Han Bin did not look at all despised. He still held Mrs. Hua Qing's hand tightly and said softly: "We are all flesh and blood people. At that time, he came out to help you. It is not difficult to understand if you have feelings for him...!" He paused and frowned and said: "But as far as I know, since he went to the northwest, he has disappeared suddenly. There is no news about him until today. He...!" He wanted to say "there are so many good things," but he didn't say it out loud.

Mrs. Hua Qing sighed quietly: "At first, I just thought he was sincere in helping me, he began to treat me very well, I thought everything was sincere, but... but later I realized that as you said, he tried his best to approach me, but... but had another idea...!"

"Is there another idea?" Han Bin became nervous: "Has he hurt you?"
