Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 13 Shocking Change

Princess Yong'an waited for Xu Wentao to come closer, glared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice: "A good banquet was ruined by those scumbags. From now on, stay away from these little friends of yours. Don't ever do it again."

Let me see them!"

Xu Wentao still didn't know why his mother was angry, but he heard Princess Yong'an say hatefully: "I finally saw it clearly. Xie Xi, an untaught bastard, brought a group of people to come to me today just to speak out against those low-life people.

words!"

Xu Wentao was focused on Lin Zisu and didn't think anything was wrong during the banquet just now.

When my mother mentioned it, I suddenly realized that Xie Xi had deliberately led others to bring those frivolous words to the banquet. The ladies of the world were afraid of ruining their reputation, so they naturally avoided it after hearing it.

The banquet he had carefully prepared was ruined. Xu Wentao was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but Xie Xi walked up to him with a smile, saluted Princess Yong'an, and said: "Thank you aunt for the hospitality, my nephew will take his leave now."

Already."

Princess Yong'an wore a frosty mask and snorted coldly. Xu Wentao said solemnly: "Everyone has agreed to do it according to their abilities. King Dun's method is too underhanded!"

Xie Xi cupped his hands towards Xu Wentao and said with a smile: "My cousin is serious. We make bets on weekdays and you cheat a lot. Why do you accuse me of cheating? Could it be that...my cousin is interested in this bet?"

Xu Wentao never expected that Xie Xi would clarify his words directly in front of his mother, and he couldn't help but feel a little unnatural on his face.

Princess Yong'an saw that her son looked wrong and asked curiously: "A bet?"

Xie Xi turned his face and saw Liang Wanyi holding Lin Zisu's arm and disappearing out of the garden's hanging arch door. An unpredictable smile flashed across his face, and he nodded and said, "Yes, my nephew and cousin, and Chang Guo were there a few days ago.

The eldest son of the prince made a bet to see who could win the beauty. Tsk tsk, my cousin was indeed very resolute in doing things. In just one month, he organized a banquet. This little nephew is really ashamed of himself.

Not as good as."

Unexpectedly, in this life, the rogue bandits did not cause chaos in Guanzhong, but entered the capital. Does that mean that the chaos in Guanzhong will no longer exist?

If the Guanzhong Rebellion disappears, will there be a Gyeonggi Rebellion?

Xie Xi was staring at Lin Zisu, and when he saw something wrong with her expression, he asked: "Miss Lin, you seem to disagree with what the second emperor said. Do you have a better idea?"

With the dignity of the second prince, he was condescending to please him. Xie Yao never expected that Lin Zisu would be so cold to him, and his face suddenly turned dark.

It was rumored in the capital that King Dun had already kept a large number of concubines in the palace after he had stayed there for a few days. They were playing and singing non-stop day and night, making the nearby streets very noisy.

Liang Mingtai also knew that this was a rare opportunity, and hurriedly took the whip and reins from his entourage. However, he usually only focused on drinking and having fun, and his riding skills were inevitably neglected. He finally struggled to climb onto the horse, and Lin Zisu was already riding.

It's ten feet away.

Seeing that his sister had changed from her usual good temper, Lin Wenjing ignored the two princes and followed closely. The red horse he rode was very powerful and he followed Lin Zisu steadily.

The refugees abandoned their hometowns and went into exile. Most of the old and weak were in dire straits and died on the road. Only the strong could bear the pain of being displaced. These people gathered together to make a living and robbed everything they saw. They became what the imperial court called rogues.

Lin Zisu was in high spirits just now, so she didn't pay much attention to the Liang brothers and sisters. When she heard Lin Wenjing talk about it, she asked, "Aren't Sister Yi and the others together? Sister Yi has never been injured, right?"

A group of boys and girls all poured into the hall in the front yard. They didn't know what had happened, and they kept whispering to each other and asking questions.

It was just after midnight, and seeing that the sun was still early, a group of young people strolled around Zhuangzi.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Xie Yao, he remembered the misery of his previous life, and hatred surged in his heart, overwhelming all other emotions. He just wanted Xie Yao to feel the pain of cutting his heart with a sharp knife.

Liang Wanyi stepped forward to help Liang Mingtai up, but Liang Mingtai was knocked to pieces. He did not dare to be angry at his sister, so he vented his anger on the horses and followers, and began to curse.

Lin Zisu didn't have a good impression of Xie Xi. She had a quarrel with him a few days ago. In recent days, she occasionally heard the servants in the mansion chatting about Xie Xi's romantic affairs. She stopped her horse and looked at Xie Xi and teased him.

: "His Royal Highness Prince Dun wants to accompany the Second Prince to Lingtan Temple? Hearing that the marriage lottery in Lingtan Temple is efficacious, His Highness may have to ask for a few more to get enough."

Xu Wentao wanted to take advantage of the banquet to show off, but he didn't want to go to the banquet properly, but was ruined by Xie Xi. He was furious, and deliberately pulled Lin Zisu to say a few words, but he was afraid that she would hear something from Xie Xi.

Words that benefit you.

She glanced at Liang Mingtai and said: "My brother, since you are interested in Miss Lin, can you show some skills? After all, you are also the eldest son of Duke Chang's Palace, and you only have the skills of a three-legged cat?"

Her face suddenly became serious and she said coldly: "I didn't expect that His Majesty, His Majesty Prince Dun, would be so idle and have the opportunity to eavesdrop on people's conversations."

Liang Wanyi checked and made sure her brother was fine. Seeing Lin Wenjing's red horse following Lin Zisu, she felt both angry and funny.

A warm current surged through Lin Zisu's heart, and she smiled and said, "Brother, as you can see, my riding skills have improved very quickly, and everything will definitely be fine."

The picturesque scenery in the distance still couldn't relieve Lin Zisu's resentment. The past made her hateful, but her original thoughts kept reminding her that the past was over and she had to focus on the future.

Several people thought so, but in this Zhuangzi, apart from Princess Yong'an, the second prince Xie Yao had the highest status. Just now Xie Yao didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense. When Zhao Shixun said it, they all nodded in agreement.

.

Lin Zisu didn't know what happened at the banquet. She chatted with Liang Wanyi and drank a few glasses of peach blossom wine. Feeling quite high-spirited, she led her pony out of the village and wanted to ask Lin Wenjing.

Demonstrate your riding skills with Liang Wanyi.

"absurd!"

The two consciousnesses were intertwined, leaving her a little confused.

Lin Zisu and Lin Wenjing have also returned to Zhuangzi. Listening to Xie Yao talking about bandits, they suddenly remembered their previous lives.

Hearing Xie Yao's voice, all the past life events were vivid in her mind. Lin Zisu suppressed the discomfort in her heart and pretended not to hear it.

Unexpectedly, the white horse under him was in pain and could not gallop as he wished. Instead, it stood alone and immediately threw him to the grass.

After Xie Yao ascended the throne, the bandit leaders in Guanzhong had already formed a rebel army of 100,000 people, and they had the potential to confront the imperial court.

In recent days, Liang Wanyi has been hearing from her mother that her brother Liang Mingtai has a crush on the eldest girl of the Lin family. After some chat today, she became closer to Lin Zisu and she intends to connect her brother with Lin Zisu.

After Princess Yong'an learned about the so-called "bet", she had no intention of going on an afternoon outing. She took her daughter Xu Fangruo into the backyard of Zhuangzi on the pretext of being ill.

He lowered his head and sighed, and said to Xie Xi: "Fourth brother, let's go back!" Just as he was about to turn his horse's head, he raised his head and saw the thick smoke floating in the sky, and the faint sound of crying women and children could be heard in the distance.

.

The group of people in Zhuangzi today include not only princesses and princes, but also children of prominent families in the capital. Some of them were invited by Xie Yao. If anything goes wrong, not only Xie Yao will be involved, but the government will also be greatly affected.

Lin Zisu had only seen her brother Lin Wenjing just now. Then she heard Xie Xi's voice and noticed Xie Yao and Xie Xi riding behind Lin Wenjing.

Seeing his sister staring blankly to the west, Lin Wenjing followed her gaze and looked into the distance.

He suddenly remembered the memorial issued by the governor of Jingzhao a few days ago to appease the refugees in Yuzhou. Regardless of the emotions in his heart, he exclaimed: "Not good!"

The day before yesterday, the cabinet received a secret report from the imperial censor. Since the severe drought last year in Luyuan Province, the government had not allocated funds for disaster relief. Local wealthy merchants took the opportunity to acquire land, causing many prefectures and counties in Luyuan to be flooded with refugees.

Refugees fled in various directions in search of livelihood, and thousands of them headed eastward, passing through Yuzhou and entering the capital.

Lin Wenjing listened a little awkwardly, but he was also afraid that something might happen to his sister, so he casually cupped his hands and said, "My sister has just learned to ride a horse, I have to go take care of her."

Listening to his sister's coquettish tone, Lin Wenjing said: "You have only been studying for a few days and you are so reckless. What will happen if you fall off the horse like Mr. Liang did?"

Although Lin Zisu gritted her teeth with hatred for Xie Xi's deliberate targeting, the situation was critical at this time and she could not shirk it.

It was clear that she was a heavy drinker in her last life, but she didn't expect to be so drunk in this life. Lin Zisu felt a little annoyed, but also secretly found it interesting.

Lin Wenjing saw Xie Yao's expression was not kind, he cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "My sister-in-law just drank a few more glasses of wine. I am sorry for my disrespect, Your Highness."

After moving to the Tenth Prince's Palace, Xie Xi, a prince who acted absurdly, became a man of the hour in the streets.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, he turned around and saw Lin Wenjing riding a bay-red horse behind him, with a concerned look on his face, like an old hen guarding her chickens in her backyard.

"Tsk, tsk, that boy Liang Mingtai lost most of his life in order to follow you. I didn't expect Miss Lin to turn a blind eye. I really feel sorry for Mr. Liang."

Lin Zisu resurrected her life. She thought that after experiencing life and death, the love and hatred in her previous life should be taken lightly.

Xie Yao knew that the situation was critical, so he called four guards to come forward, and ordered two guards to ride fast horses to the capital to ask for help. One guard went to inquire about the situation, and another guard was ordered to report back to Zhuangzi urgently, calling everyone to go into the village to take shelter.

Seeing Lin Zisu get on the horse, she pulled Liang Mingtai behind her and whispered: "Hurry up and protect her, she is my sister-in-law!"

Because Princess Yong'an was the owner of Zhuangzi, Xie Yao and Xu Wentao said: "I just saw the flames rising to the southeast of Zhuangzi. I think the bandits have arrived here. My prince has sent people to the capital to ask for help. Cousin Tao then asked his aunt to come over and talk about it.

Come on, we have to make plans early."

Zhu Ma looked to the west, and saw green rising to the sky, blending with the blue sky at the skyline. The mountains not far away were hidden in the green and undulated like frowning brows.

In the memory of her previous life, there were also rogue bandits at this time, but before they entered Yuzhou, they were driven westward into Guanzhong by the general soldiers of Yuzhou. They colluded with the local bandits in Guanzhong, killed people and plundered land, and affected even more people.

wide.

The grassland outside Zhuangzi covers hundreds of acres. Lin Zisu walked freely for two quarters of an hour, and most of the drunkenness he had just had faded away.

It is extremely against the rules for a prince to take a concubine before getting married.

Most of them were invited by the eldest princess or Xie Yao. They originally thought that going out with the nobles to relax would not only broaden their horizons, but maybe also gain the appreciation of the nobles.

Seeing everyone's frightened faces, Xie Yao muttered: "This prince has sent people to investigate. If there are no dangers ahead, let's go back."

Before Xie Xi could answer, Xie Yao came up from behind and said with a smile: "What Miss Lin said is true. My fourth brother has always been out of tune, so we must find a princess to take charge of him as soon as possible."

It was clearly Liang Mingtai who fell from the horse, but Lin Zisu was caring about Liang Wanyi. Lin Wenjing was a little dumbfounded, and was thinking about how to tell his sister, when Xie Xi's voice came from not far away.

Lin Zisu galloped up a gentle hill and stopped just now.

Lin Wenjing looked around and saw some fires rising from the village not far to the east, and thick smoke billowing out in all directions like ghosts.

Fortunately, she still had a trace of reason in her mind, knowing that she had to vent her hatred, so she turned around and galloped away.

Princess Yong'an understood what Xie Xi meant, slapped the back of the chair with her right hand, pointed at Xu Wentao and sternly cursed: "How ridiculous! One is a bastard who is not afraid of eating meat, and the other is a disgraceful coward. You are willing to fall."

If you stay with this group of people, my mother can't control you!"

Unexpectedly, the outing failed, and instead he encountered bandits who committed murder and arson. Zhao Shixun said in a trembling voice: "Since there are bandits making trouble, let's go back now. Can these bandits still disturb the capital?"

For more than a month, the emperor intended to let Xie Yao participate in political affairs. He carefully taught Xie Yao no matter how big or small it was, so Xie Yao knew a lot about the government.

The second prince had a destiny, and the servants did not dare to neglect it. Xie Yao and his party returned to Zhuangzi in just a cup of tea. Everyone in Zhuangzi had already been called to the front yard.

Princess Yong'an ignored Xie Xi, the new prince's face, and her son who was turning blue. She said these words and walked away in front of the two of them.

Xie Yaogui was the second prince and a strong competitor for the crown prince. He was used to flattery from others. Lin Zisu's unpretentious words made him a little angry and a little disappointed.

Lin Zisu was thinking about how to get out of trouble, but Xie Xi unexpectedly brought the topic to herself.

He hurriedly walked alongside Lin Zisu, raised his hand and whipped the horse, and gave the horse a hard slap on the buttocks.

He didn't know what was happening over there, but seeing the fire and smoke, he felt a little frightened. He said to Lin Zisu, "Sister, there seems to be a fire in Zhuangzi over there. We must go back quickly."

Xu Wentao, who has always been bold and bold, actually behaved a little at a loss.

When Xu Wentao heard that there were bandits making trouble nearby, he felt frightened and ordered his servants to go to the backyard to invite his mother and sister. Xie Yao did not deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, and everyone in the hall could hear clearly.

There is obviously nothing to the west!

At that moment, Lin Zisu said loudly: "The second prince, have you ever thought that the capital is to the east of Zhuangzi, and the bandits are currently in the southeast. If the bandits go all the way north, wouldn't we just fall into a trap if we return to the city?"

The heavy rain has passed, and two days have passed without any danger. Everything is safe.

Others gain insights after experiencing something, but I didn’t expect that I gained insights first and then experienced it. I would like to share a sentence from Chapter 34 and share it with myself so that we can encourage each other.

"I just want to tell you that if you die, it will be nothing more than a handful of loess. Only if you are alive will the day come to an end." - BY Lin Zisu
