Chapter 99 Could it be his biological mother?

Song Jiuxi's injury was easier to recover from than Yan Shubai's. She was pressed down by Aunt Qing to recuperate for more than half a month, and she really couldn't lie down anymore.

That day, she took the Cloud Tempering Spear and went to the yard to perform a set of Lingyun Spear Techniques.

Fortunately, her injury was to her left arm, which did not affect her ability to use the gun.

After practicing a set of marksmanship, she suddenly remembered that Yan Shubai had promised her to let her enter Xiao Yiwei's barracks to have a look. Now that she was healed, Yan Shubai should be able to fulfill his promise.

But she remembered that every time she asked Yan Shubai for something, Yan Shubai would always look at her with a smile on his lips and a playful look on his eyes and brows, asking her what she should call him.

When Song Jiuxi thought of this, she no longer wanted to ask Yan Shubai.

Yan Shubai always smiled and looked not serious when talking to her, which made Song Jiuxi angry and helpless. And she felt that it would be very unreasonable for her to be angry with Yan Shubai for this matter.

When Song Jiuxi was about to go back to the house, Fang Long came in from outside.

"Master." Fang Long approached and said, "There is news in the court about Xu Xu's matter."

Song Jiuxi asked: "How did the Holy One deal with it?"

"The Forbidden Army has captured Xiao Chengru from Yongping Mansion, and now they have put Xiao Chengru in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The three-law department will preside over the trial, and the Jin Yiwei will coordinate the trial."

"And today the Xiao clan in Yongping Prefecture was impeached. The reason for impeachment was that they raped women, occupied land, and even tampered with the tax collection in summer and autumn, evading a large amount of taxes and corvees. Saint

We have ordered people to detain the Xiao family."

"The Holy One also reprimanded King Duan in the morning today, but it was because he had many singers and dancers in his palace. He said that he was not doing his job properly and did not want to make progress. He was punished to meditate in the palace. He was not allowed to leave the palace without an order."

Song Jiuxi frowned. The reason why the Holy Emperor reprimanded King Duan had nothing to do with Xu Xu's case, nor did he reprimand him for the Xiao Mansion.

Song Jiuxi asked: "What about the Dezhou military preparations? Didn't the Holy One deal with it?"

"No, this matter was not mentioned at all this morning."

Song Jiuxi frowned fiercely. The Holy Master reprimanded King Duan but let the prince go.

The prince colluded with the local government, secretly mobilized troops to prepare the road, and plotted against King Duan. The emperor was not prepared to blame him?

Song Jiuxi's heart sank. If this was the case, Zhao Hongjun might not be able to move to the position of prince.

But what surprised Song Jiuxi was that he reprimanded the prince during the pilgrimage the next morning.

The reason for the reprimand was actually the minister of personal relations.

This minister was still Su Mingxuan. The prince contacted Su Mingxuan privately in the name of the deceased princess, but Su Mingxuan reported it to the Holy Minister.

The prince was unable to defend himself, and was also punished by the Holy Master to shut up and reflect on his faults. He was not allowed to leave the prince's residence without an order.

However, there was no mercy at all for the people in Dezhou Bingbei Road who rebuked, belittled, and exiled them.

A prince, a prince, the Holy One reprimanded and punished the same, the emperor's ability to balance his subordinates was obvious.

Song Jiuxi suddenly realized that the current emperor had just passed his forties. Even though he had established a prince, the emperor in his prime was still the emperor who had conquered a country. He would never delegate power at this time.

Regardless of whether it is the Crown Prince or Prince Duan, he will not let either side become more powerful.

Only if there is a balance between the two parties, no one will come to snatch his throne.

Song Jiuxi suddenly had an enlightenment. She had always wanted to deal with Zhao Hongjun before and thought that all she had to do was to bring Zhao Hongjun down. But now it seems that unless Zhao Hongjun plots rebellion, the Holy Emperor will not remove the prince.

Song Jiuxi frowned and asked, "Is there anything else going on this morning?"

"The Holy One has asked the wise king to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Wise King?" Song Jiuxi was stunned.

No wonder Song Jiuxi was stunned. Others in the court didn't expect it either.

The wise king was of low origin, and his mother-in-law was just a palace maid. She had never been involved in court affairs in recent years, and she was devoted to painting and calligraphy. She was a wealthy and idle person.

The Holy Spirit brought out the wise king at this time, but anyone with a keen eye could guess what was going on.

But there is no power behind the wise king. If there is no sacred heart to protect him, he will be torn in half by the prince and Prince Duan's people as soon as he enters the court.

But if the Sacred Heart is in the virtuous king, the situation in the court will change.

Song Jiuxi was going to go to Deyun Tower. She had something she wanted Fu Chenyun to arrange.

At this time, the long-unopened door to their courtyard facing the Yan Mansion suddenly received a knock.

Song Jiuxi winked, and Fucui walked up and opened the door.

A maid at the door asked: "Are the young master and young lady here?"

Fucui blocked the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid wanted to come in but was blocked by Fu Cui. She said angrily: "The eldest lady asked the young lady to add makeup to the eldest lady. Tomorrow is the day when the eldest lady is getting married. As the eldest lady's direct sister-in-law, the young lady cannot do anything the same."

Come out?"

Fu Cui asked: "Where are you maid? Why haven't I seen you in the house?"

"Hmph." The maid snorted coldly and said, "I am the young prince's son. The young prince knows that the princess is being bullied in the Yan family, so he asked us to protect her. The princess will have us, the young prince, for the sake of this.

Who else in the capital dares to bully our princess?"

The maid's voice got louder and louder, she was telling Song Jiuxi on purpose.

Ever since Yan Shubai closed the door to the Yan Mansion, she had almost forgotten everything related to the Yan Mansion.

I didn't expect that Yan Yueqing would get married so soon.

Even though she had stayed in Prince Kangrui's Mansion before, she still had to return to Yan Mansion on the day of her wedding.

But what surprised Song Jiuxi was that the lady the maid mentioned was Yan Shubai's biological mother.

Thinking of the relationship between Taoist Baiyun and the eldest lady, Song Jiuxi walked out and said, "Lead the way."

The maid glanced at her up and down and sneered: "Young lady, don't you bring something with you? All the noble ladies in the capital came to add makeup to the princess today."

She had heard from the princess that apart from the second wife and the second young lady in the Yan family, the newly married young lady had bullied their princess many times.

The young prince has made it clear that with the support of Prince Kangrui, the princess will never be wronged.

Song Jiuxi glanced at her lightly, and then told Fucui to go back and bring over a jewelry box from the countertop in her room.

When the maid saw the shabby jewelry box, she snorted coldly and turned around to lead the way.

Song Jiuxi followed the maid and walked towards it. When she was about to reach a courtyard, Fucui suddenly asked: "Isn't this the second lady's courtyard? Why did you bring us to the second lady's courtyard?"

"What second lady's yard? Now this is our princess's yard. Of course our princess must leave from the best yard when she gets married."

The maids said so arrogantly that three days ago they escorted the princess-to-be back to the Yan Mansion and asked for the largest and best courtyard in the mansion.

Although the second lady didn't want to give it, she had to give it.

How could Yan Yuening, who had an affair with her cousin and was sent away in a sedan chair, be qualified to live in such a nice courtyard?

From now on, this courtyard will be their princess's courtyard. Even if the princess gets married, no one will dare to touch it.
