Chapter 99

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

This day, she took the quenching cloud spear and went to the yard to perform a set of Lingyun spear skills.

Fortunately, she injured her left arm, which did not affect her use of the gun.

After practicing a set of marksmanship, she suddenly remembered that Yan Shubai promised her to let her enter Xiaoyiwei's barracks to have a look.Now that she has recovered from her injury, Yan Shubai should be able to fulfill her 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, with jokes in the corners of his eyes and brows, and asked her what she should call him.

When Song Jiuxi thought of this, she didn't want to ask Yan Shubai anymore.

When Yan Shubai talked to her, he always smiled and was not very serious, which made Song Jiuxi angry and helpless.And she felt that if she got angry with Yan Shubai for this matter, it would look very unreasonable.

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

"Master." Fang Long approached and said, "There is news about Xu Xu."

Song Jiuxi asked, "How did His Majesty deal with it?"

"The Forbidden Army has captured Xiao Chengru from the Yongping Mansion, and now they have put Xiao Chengru in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The trial will be presided over by the Three Law Departments, and the Jin Yiwei will cooperate with the trial."

"Furthermore, the family members of the Xiao clan in Yongping Mansion were impeached today. The reason for the impeachment was that they robbed the women of the people, occupied the land, and even tampered with the taxation of the summer and autumn seasons, evading a large number of taxes and corvees. Saint They have already ordered people to detain the Xiao family."

"The Holy Majesty reprimanded Prince Duan in the early morning court today, but it was because his mansion raised many singers and dancers, saying that he was not doing his job properly and not thinking about making progress. He was punished to meditate in the mansion. Without a decree, he is not allowed to leave the mansion."

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

Song Jiuxi asked: "What about the military preparations in Dezhou? Has the Holy One not dealt with it?"

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

Song Jiuxi frowned fiercely, the sage reprimanded King Duan but let the prince go.

The crown prince colluded with the local government, secretly dispatched troops to prepare for the way, and plotted against King Duan. The Holy One is not going to blame him?
Song Jiuxi's heart sank. If so, Zhao Hongjun's position as the crown prince might not be easy to move.

But to Song Jiuxi's surprise, the prince was reprimanded on the pilgrimage the next morning.

The reason for the reprimand was actually the Minister of Private Relations.

This minister was still Su Mingxuan, the crown prince contacted Su Mingxuan privately in the name of the dead princess, but was sued by Su Mingxuan to the Holy Majesty.

The prince couldn't justify himself, and was also punished by the Holy One to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and was not allowed to leave the prince's mansion without his will.

As for the denunciation, derogation, and exile of the people in the Dezhou military preparations, there was no mercy at all.

A crown prince, a prince, the Holy Majesty both reprimanded and punished the same, the emperor's technique of balancing the imperial court is obvious.

Song Jiuxi suddenly realized that the Holy Majesty had just passed his forties.Even if the crown prince has been established, but for the emperor who is in his prime, he is still the emperor who conquered the country, and he will definitely not delegate power at this time.

Regardless of whether it is the prince or the king, he will not make either side stronger.

Only when the two parties are balanced and restrained, no one will come to snatch his throne.

Song Jiuxi was enlightened all of a sudden. She had always wanted to deal with Zhao Hongjun before, thinking that she only needed to bring Zhao Hongjun down, but now it seems that unless Zhao Hongjun conspires against him, the Holy Majesty will not remove the prince.

Song Jiuxi frowned, and asked, "Is there anything else in court this morning?"

"The sage asked the virtuous king to serve in the household department."

"The virtuous king?" Song Jiuxi was taken aback.

No wonder Song Jiuxi was taken aback, and the others in the hall didn't expect it either.

The virtuous king came from a lowly family background, and his mother and concubine were just maids of honor. These years, she has never been involved in court affairs, and has devoted herself to painting and calligraphy. She is a wealthy and idle person.

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

But there is no power behind King Xian. If there is no sacred heart to keep, he will be torn in half by the prince and King Duan when he first enters the court.

But if the sacred heart is on the body of the virtuous king, the situation in the court will change.

Song Jiuxi is going to go to Deyun Tower, she has some things to arrange for Fu Chenyun.

At this moment, someone knocked on the long-unopened door facing Yan's mansion in their courtyard.

Song Jiuxi made a look, and Fu Cui walked up and opened the door.

A maid at the door asked, "Are the young master and young lady there?"

Fu Cui 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 put on makeup for the eldest lady, tomorrow is the day when the eldest lady gets married, as the young lady's direct sister-in-law, the young lady can't be the same out?"

Fu Cui asked: "Where are you from, why haven't I seen you in the mansion."

"Huh." The servant girl snorted coldly and said, "I belong to the little prince. The little prince knew that the princess was being bullied in the Yan Mansion, so he let us protect her. The princess will have our little prince in the future. Look at this Who else in the capital would dare to bully our concubine."

The servant girl's voice grew louder and louder, and she purposely said it to Song Jiuxi.

Ever since Yan Shubai closed the door leading to the Yan Mansion, she almost forgot about the Yan Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yueqing would get married so soon.

Even though she had stayed in Kangrui Palace before, she still had to return to Yan's Mansion when she got married.

But what surprised Song Jiuxi was that the eldest lady the maid was talking about was Yan Shubai's own mother.

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

The servant girl glanced at her up and down, and sneered: "Young Madam, don't you bring anything? Today, all the noble ladies in the capital have come to add makeup to the princess."

She had heard from the concubine that apart from the second wife and the second young lady in Yan's mansion, this newly married young lady had bullied their concubine many times.

The little prince has confessed that with the support of the Kangrui Palace, the princess must not be wronged.

Song Jiuxi glanced at her indifferently, and then told Fu Cui to go back and bring a jewelry box on the countertop in her room.

Seeing the shabby jewelry box, the maid gave a cold snort and turned around to lead the way.

Song Jiuxi walked over with the maid, and when he was about to reach a yard, Fu Cui suddenly asked, "Isn't this the second lady's yard? What are you bringing us to the second lady's yard for?"

"What is the second lady's yard. Now this is our princess's yard. When our princess gets married, of course we have to go out from the best yard."

The servant girl spoke proudly, three days ago they escorted the princess-to-be back to the Yan Mansion, and asked for the biggest and best courtyard in the mansion.

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

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

From now on, this yard will be the yard of their princess, even if the princess is married, no one dares to touch it.
