Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

Xu Kexin's expression changed drastically.

She arrived at the Royal Garden with the prince last night. The family banquet had not yet started. The prince left after saying he had something to do. She was not familiar with any of the few people present. A palace maid suddenly came over and said that Concubine Yu wanted to see her for something, but she didn't think much about it. Then he went with the palace maid.

When she noticed something was wrong, she had already arrived outside the Mingde Hall. A eunuch handed her a food box and left, giving her a meaningful look before leaving.

Could it be that the eunuch...

Unfortunately, she was too nervous and scared at the time, so she did not see the eunuch's face clearly, and because of her inner struggle, she did not enter the palace at all.

"That's the prince's father. I, the concubine, can't do it!"

"Can't you do it?" The man in black snorted coldly, and then said casually: "Prince Rui hasn't returned home, has he?"

Xu Kexin stared at the man in black in shock: "How do you know?"

"Because King Rui and Mu Qingyun are eating and drinking in the conference room at the moment, and they are just the two of them." It has to be said that the man in black caught Xu Kexin's weakness.

"No, it's impossible! I don't believe it!" Xu Kexin shook her head desperately: The housekeeper just said that the prince is busy with political affairs, how could he be with the ninth princess?

"I have seen this with my own eyes, believe it or not!" The man in black said sympathetically: "It's a pity that you are here alone to guard an empty room, but the two of them are really in love with each other. If they are drunk...could it be Do you really want to watch them flirting with each other, living together in two places? Do you really want to wait until King Rui kicks you out of the palace before you regret it? Do you really want you and the Xu family to become a joke that everyone despises? You know, Mu Qingyun is the emperor's favorite adopted daughter. Once she and Prince Rui become husband and wife, with Prince Rui's affection and concern for her, there will be no place for you in this palace!"

Xu Kexin's face turned pale, and her whole body could not stop trembling: "No, it won't happen! The prince and the ninth princess are not like that!"

"You are so stupid! Prince Rui has always loved Mu Qingyun deeply. The reason why he married you was to prevent Mu Qingyun from marrying anyone else. This time, he ignored your newlyweds and went to Nanyang County to follow Mu Qingyun. Besides, Mu Qingyun is very affectionate to Prince Rui, and if he is drunk, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to do it at once, don’t you think so?"

This was the case, and Xu Kexin was speechless.

"But don't worry, I have arranged for someone to stop them this time, but next time..."

Xu Kexin gritted her teeth, her face as white as paper filled with desolation and sadness.

Looking at Xu Kexin who looked like this, a trace of ridicule and sullenness flashed across the deep eyes of the man in black: "The Spring Festival will be here in a few days. According to custom, Prince Rui will take you to the palace for a reunion dinner. That's The best opportunity is also your last chance. If you still can’t make up your mind by then, just wait and become an abandoned wife! In addition, after King Chun ascends the throne, I will no longer guarantee you, King Rui, and you. Your family is considerate! Take care of yourself!"

After saying that, the man in black disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Bursts of cold wind blew, and Xu Kexin, who felt the biting coldness all over her body, burst into tears, as tender and sad as a pear blossom that had just bloomed and been bullied by wind and frost.

You've known for a long time that the prince only has the Ninth Princess in his heart, right?

But she still felt heartache, the pain was like the loneliness and despair that the world was vast but had no place for her.

As the New Year approaches, every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Concubine Yu also orders people to decorate the palace, and the whole capital is enveloped in joy.

Qingyun, who had left all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Yu, sat quietly on the soft couch, holding a cup of tea in her hand. The rising heat vaguely revealed her hazy and solemn expression.

There is no movement from the Prime Minister and others for the time being, and there is no trace of the guardians on the left and right sides of Juechen Palace. There is still one month until the expiration of the imperial concubine's memory. I wonder what kind of trouble will be caused by then?

What made her even more worried was that she arranged several times through Bingying for Qiu He, who was next to Zhi Lan, to send a message to Zhi Lan to enter the palace. Zhi Lan politely refused for various reasons, although she heard that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion did not neglect Zhi Lan. , but she was still worried.

Muxue lay quietly on the ground next to her, squinting her eyes slightly but listening warily to the movements around her.

"Master" at this time, Zhuyue walked quickly to Qingyun: "Several girls have disappeared in Beijing one after another!"

Qingyun's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened: "Can we find out what's going on?"

Zhuyue then whispered a few words in her ear. Qingyun's face became more and more solemn, and there was a cold air between her frowning brows.

In the court hall the next day, without waiting for the courtiers to report various matters as usual, Qingyun said to Emperor Huiwen: "Father, I have found a geomantic treasure land near the royal cemetery and plan to build a mausoleum for my ancestors. After the beginning of the new year, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs will be responsible for supervising the construction."

The tone is affirmative, not deliberation.

Seeing Qingyun's thoughtful gaze, Emperor Huiwen couldn't help but think. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Yushi walked out of the queue and objected: "Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"Why not?" Qingyun looked at Xu Yushi with clear eyes, while Emperor Huiwen pursed his lips and remained silent.

"The ninth princess is not an orthodox member of the royal family. How can her ancestors be buried in the royal cemetery? Once the emperor agrees, it will not only disturb the peace of the royal ancestors, but also bring shame to the emperor's wise and benevolent government. How will he meet the royal family under Jiuquan in the future? Ancestors? Please think again, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun quietly looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. The Ninth Princess was becoming more and more mysterious and they could not understand it more and more.

Looking up at Qingyun with a cold face, no matter how scheming the Prime Minister was, he still couldn't guess what the Ninth Princess wanted to do with this move.

"Unbridled!" Qingyun's eyes and brows contained perseverance and indifference: "Although I am unorthodox, I have devoted my whole life to the country of Jin. Now I only fulfill my filial piety as a child and build a mausoleum for my parents. Besides, I only It is said that the construction is around the cemetery, not within the cemetery. You are interfering like this, which is simply hateful! Come here, drag Yushi Xu out and beat him with fifty big boards! Anyone who pleads for mercy will be severely punished!"

Immediately, two guards in front of the palace came in and dragged Xu Yushi out.

"This is treachery. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Xu Yushi turned around frequently and spoke righteously.

It's a pity that Emperor Huiwen never said a word.

The sound of sticks hitting flesh could be heard outside the palace, and coupled with the emperor's silence, everyone was frightened and full of doubts, but no one came forward to intercede.

Su Zihan walked to the middle and knelt down: "Let's start with the Emperor, the Ninth Princess..."

"Master Su, do you want to plead for Master Xu?" Qing Yun raised her eyebrows slightly.

"No." Su Zihan's voice was calm and clear, and his words were clear and clear: "Since ancient times, officials have been innocent. Mr. Xu just fulfilled his duties as a censor. What crime is there? The nine princesses have worked hard for the country and the country. It is obvious to all the subjects. , now the nine princesses want to fulfill their filial piety, there is nothing wrong with it, but the construction of the mausoleum did not happen overnight and cost a lot of money, and Nanyang County has just experienced the epidemic and has been ravaged by the epidemic. After the new year, there is spring plowing, spring planting, river repair, and border guarding. The treasury will probably be stretched thin with regard to the food and salary for the soldiers, so please, Your Majesty, Ninth Princess think twice!"

"Master Su, do you mean that building a mausoleum in this palace will harm the country and the people?"

"Weichen is just telling the truth!"

"What a telling truth!" Qingyun's pupils were as deep as the abyss and there was no bottom, making it difficult for people to see the content inside: "Master Su accused me of my wanton behavior every word, so we can see that this is a great disrespect." The crime? The decree was issued to deprive Mr. Su of his position as Jing Zhaoyin and demote him to the position of county magistrate of Yongping County, Beisha County. He will leave Beijing today!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Isn't Mr. Su a popular person in front of the Ninth Princess? He was rewarded by the emperor a few days ago, but why was he demoted to the remote Yongping County in the blink of an eye? It is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. This Ninth Princess is more dangerous than accompanying the emperor. More than a thousand times?

The Sima Rui brothers were also shocked: How could Jiuer be so domineering today?

After a brief shock, Su Zihan came to his senses and saluted respectfully: "I would like to thank the Ninth Princess for not killing her!" After saying that, he returned to the queue.

"Your Majesty, Ninth Princess," the Prime Minister suddenly said: "Girls have disappeared one after another in the capital. Mr. Su, as the Yin of Beijing, should do his best to investigate the case thoroughly..."

When Emperor Huiwen heard this, his originally calm expression suddenly became serious and solemn: "Is this really happening? Why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Old minister, I have just received a memorial from Mr. Su. Please forgive me." The implication is that all the crimes are due to Su Zihan's dereliction of duty.

Su Zihan lowered his head slightly to hide the astonishment in his eyes: After two girls disappeared in a row, he felt that the situation was serious and wrote a memorial to the cabinet, but the Prime Minister said this, and his intention...

Calmly waving his hand to Emperor Huiwen, Qingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at the Prime Minister: "Is it possible that the Prime Minister is old and deaf and didn't hear that I had demoted Su Zihan to the position of Prime Minister of Yongping County and left Beijing today? Su Zihan is not from Beijing. Why did Zhao Yin investigate this case thoroughly?"

"Ninth Princess, this matter is of great importance after all. Since it happened during Mr. Su's tenure, Mr. Su should investigate it thoroughly from beginning to end!"

"Does the Prime Minister mean that no one except Su Zihan has the ability to thoroughly investigate this matter? Are all the civil and military ministers in the hall just like the emperor's salary, but they can't share the burden for the emperor?"

"Old minister, I'm scared!" Sensing the various looks from the surrounding courtiers, the Prime Minister's face became more and more respectful, and he seemed to understand the hidden meaning of the ninth princess's abnormal behavior today. Damn it, the ninth princess was actually one step ahead! "Old minister Jue I don’t mean this, it’s just that Mr. Su has some evidence, and if he rashly replaces the person, I’m afraid it will delay the opportunity.”

Emperor Huiwen, Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun reacted instantly: Jiuer (Ninth Princess) clearly wanted to protect Su Zihan. It seems that the matter is not that simple!

"Since we have the evidence, why worry about not being able to solve the case?" Qingyun's raised eyebrows contained depth and majesty: "I think this is a good opportunity to select outstanding talents!" As he said this, he turned to look at Emperor Huiwen: "Father, Emperor , I have an idea, father, is it feasible to hear it?"

"Jiu'er just say it doesn't matter!"
