After rebirth, Princess Bai Yueguang turned black

"No, she was discovered early and rescued." Li Fucheng sighed, "Fortunately she is not a man, otherwise, with such ruthlessness, what can't be done?"

"Hmph. Even if she is a woman, who of you dares to look down upon her?"

"That's true." Li Fucheng chuckled, "It's just that we failed. In the end, the princess of Anqing and the deposed prince still couldn't get married."

"If it doesn't work, it won't work." Ying Ning slowly turned the tea cup, "Anyway, Gu Yingxun is finished. Brother, it's time to release the evidence in your hand."

"I've been waiting for this day."

After Gu Yingxun returned, he placed a series of evidence including witnesses and confessions in front of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor just called Zhang Gaoqiu over and confronted the killer.

The killer is just a person who works for money. How could he have met a person of Zhang Gaoqiu's level?

Even if he insists that the person who gave the money at that time was from the Prince of Shu's palace, Zhang Gaoqiu can still deny it.

Li Fucheng watched from the sidelines, feeling that this matter would ultimately depend on the emperor's attitude.

After all, the matter has been publicized, and it was the deposed prince Gu Yingxun who committed the murder of the girl. In order to break with the deposed prince, the princess of Anqing even drank medicine and slit her wrists.

In the eyes of the people, Princess Anqing has become a heroine who defends the people's grievances.

Now if this matter is revealed again, will the emperor be allowed to depose Zhang Gaoqiu, the king of Shu?

The emperor would never want to.

Although he is the emperor, he is just a person sitting in the palace. He needs his ministers to guard and govern the country for him.

The disturbances caused by Japanese pirates along the southeastern river have always been a serious concern for the imperial court.

The only person in the imperial court who was good at fighting water battles and had the talent to lead was Zhang Gaoqiu.

After deposing him, should the emperor go to the southeast to fight the Japanese pirates along the river?

The emperor first severely reprimanded the killer, and then symbolically reprimanded Zhang Gaoqiu for his lax governance, fined him three years' salary, and ordered him to go back and reflect.

Finally, the emperor praised Li Fucheng and promoted him to deputy governor of Jinyiwei.

Li Fucheng was choked for a while.

He knew that with such a killer, it was impossible to completely bring down Zhang Gaoqiu, but he did not expect that he would not even touch Zhang Gaoqiu's skin.

A three-year fine is nothing to him, right?

As expected, you have to be tough to strike iron.

Zhang Gaoqiu himself was capable. Even if he harmed the emperor's own son, the emperor would not dare to do anything to him.

At least, not for the time being.

After a few more snows, it was New Year's Eve.

Ying Ning is already nine months pregnant and cannot return to the Marquis Mansion to celebrate the New Year.

As the mistress of the Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Yang, even though she missed her daughter very much in her heart, could not leave her family behind and come to Zhuangzi at this time in order to hide her from others.

Li Houye was still in the north to quell the chaos and could not come back in time. Li Fucheng stayed on guard in the palace, Li Diyao was studying in the academy, and Yang was at home celebrating the New Year with his three aunts and two concubines.

Aunt Baixiu was naturally unhappy because she lost her daughter.

The other two aunts were honest and did not dare to smile.

This year has been a boring one.

Ying Ning stayed in the village. Although there were only two maids and a boy around her, she did her best to spend the New Year and had a prosperous New Year.

"Today celebrates the New Year, regardless of size, Jiujin. You have locked the door to the front yard. Come and help your sister Zhelan put the food on the table. Let's eat together and celebrate the New Year."
