After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 135

Helian Wenyu picked up the letter that fell on the ground.

Her intuition told her that this letter was very important.

Sure enough, it doesn't matter if you don't see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.

This is another letter from Xiaoshuang Kingdom, the recipient is unknown.

The letter mentioned the kidnapping of Fu Yanping, and even included words such as "capture Xuefeng".

Combined with Afaf, who is dressed in black and moves strangely.

Sure enough, there are people from Xiaoshuang Kingdom in this palace.

But who could it be?

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

While she was thinking, a well-dressed concubine walked up to her. It was Concubine Xiao who was not long pregnant with a dragon fetus. She put her hand on her belly, which was slightly bulging. It was obvious that she was full of longing for her child.

She frowned and looked at Afaf who was lying on the ground, wondering: "What is going on?"

"It turned out to be Concubine Xiao," Helian Wenyu explained, "This is the assassin who just wanted to assassinate the Prime Minister's Mansion. I happened to pass by and captured her."

Wait, the Prime Minister's Mansion...

Could it be that Afaf originally wanted to deliver this letter to the Prime Minister's Palace?

As for why it was not handed over, it was probably because the person in the house happened to be away from the house.

So……

This Concubine Xiao is very suspicious.

"I see, I thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Yue saluted.

"It doesn't matter," Helian Wenyu waved her hand, "I'll leave it to you. I want to go find the emperor."

After saying that, she hurried to Qiankun Palace.

There is a domestic spy from Xiaoshuang in the palace, and this person is most likely his beloved concubine Xiao Yue. Such a big thing must be reported to the emperor's brother quickly.

Soon, she found the emperor's brother and explained the matter to him.

The emperor's younger brother was also shocked when he heard this. He had just received a letter from Fu Yanping, saying that there were people from their Xiaoshuang Kingdom in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It seems we have to find a way to set up a trap to lure the snake out of its hole." Helian Jingxi said thoughtfully.

"Royal brother, it will be the fifth anniversary of your accession to the throne in a few weeks. Why don't we put on a show and let's put on a show too."

Helian Jingxi heard this and knew the emperor's character well, so he couldn't help but said: "Isn't the emperor trying to trick me again?"

——After Helian Wenyu worked so hard to dig a hole, Helian Jingxi was even shadowed by the hole.

If you don’t believe it, take a look at Yuwen Nai, the former commander of the Imperial Guard, who is still recovering at home, and Luo Zhoubai, who is currently being demoted to idle at home...

"How is it possible?!" Helian Wenyu quickly denied, "How could I trick you?"

"Don't worry and leave everything to me. You just have to wait and watch the show."

Seeing Helian Wenyu's confident expression, Helian Jingxi suppressed all his reluctance and said, "Okay then."

——Just don’t blow up the palace.

The next day.

Helian Wenyu directly bypassed Helian Jingxi and hosted a banquet for all the concubines in the harem in the name of Helian Jingxi.

Although the concubines didn't understand why Helian Jingxi wanted to hold a banquet, why did Helian Wenyu, the eldest princess, have to host it?

After hearing the "imperial edict" issued by "Helian Jingxi", some shrewd noble ladies from aristocratic families who thought they were well-informed began to speculate on the holy meaning.

Could it be that the emperor wants to choose a queen, and asks Her Royal Highness the Princess to look at the candidates for the queen and help the emperor, right?

Many legitimate daughters of aristocratic families conveyed their speculations to their families, hoping that their families would provide suggestions for this, or at least prepare a generous gift for themselves. How could such a big move be hidden from other concubines?

Soon, rumors spread throughout the harem that the emperor wanted to establish a queen and first asked the eldest princess Helian Wenyu to be the palm of her hand.

Not only the harem, but also the aristocratic families are trying their best to obtain invitation tickets for this banquet, hoping to gain a chance for their daughter who has not yet left the palace.

What if? right?

Even if it doesn't work out then, it would still be good to bring people over and make some connections.

After all, when Her Royal Highness the Princess presided over it, she did not stipulate that this banquet was a family banquet.

And Helian Wenyu is not polite at all. As long as you want to come, even if you only have a little intention, Helian Wenyu will immediately send someone to deliver the invitation letter to your house.

This operation not only transferred all the pressure to the concubines, but also successfully attracted all the noble ladies from various aristocratic families to the banquet.

Helian Wenyu's goal was finally achieved.

However, she was happy, but Helian Jingxi was not so happy after listening to Luo Zhoubai's report.

"Say it again?! What did the people say?"

This is the furious Helian Jingxi questioning Luo Zhoubai.

Luo Zhoubai:...

"People say that our emperor is not doing his job properly. He spends all his time in the harem. He only favors demon concubines and brings trouble to the court. Now he is still dissatisfied with his desires and has once again set his sights on a woman who has not yet left the palace..."

"It was also said that 'the wine and meat in the Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road'. Last time we went to war with Chao Gang and Qi Feng, the soldiers and heroes have not been buried, and the soldiers' pensions were also defaulted by the court on the grounds of financial difficulties. Most of them, but now the government has money to hold big banquets..."

Helian Jingxi said with a gloomy face, "Have you found out the person behind the scenes?"

How could such rumors suddenly arise among the people?

Someone must have ordered it.

But the key to the problem is no longer who instigated it, but how to calm down the public anger that has been aroused.

Because everything in the rumors is true...

The imperial court had just finished the war, and various rewards were given based on merit, and pensions were still waiting for further review by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This was a normal thing, but it was taken advantage of by some thoughtful people...

As for the lack of money in the government and the deduction of pensions, no need to ask, this must be a good thing done by his good officials. Helian Jingxi is still very clear about the virtues of his officials.

The problem is, we really can't blame him.

No matter how stupid Helian Jingxi is, he knows that the country has just finished a war, and it is impossible to hold such a "royal carnival banquet" openly, right? Does he still want his emperor image?

But this was Helian Wenyu's doing. As the emperor's younger brother, he could only bear the blame silently.

It is impossible to explain to the people who are already full of resentment that this is all the idea of ​​Her Royal Highness the Princess alone. I don’t know about it at all, right?

Now he understands Luo Zhoubai, who is also the "scapegoat"...

"That's all, I hope nothing will happen again in the end..." Helian Jingxi could only comfort himself in this way.

"Check it out for me, check it out thoroughly. I want to see who is this blind person who wants to be beaten by another nine tribes..."

Helian Jingxi, who couldn't take out his anger on the imperial sister, had no choice but to vent his anger on the aristocratic family who was behind the scenes.

"Yes!"

Luo Zhoubai responded loudly, and at the same time quietly wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, secretly glad that this time the emperor did not throw the blame on himself again...

Facts have proved that he was happy too early...

"Luo Zhoubai, your poor supervision has aroused public anger. I will fine you three years' salary. Do you understand?"

——As expected, whenever anything has anything to do with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Luo Zhoubai is always the one who gets hurt...
