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

Chapter 21 Taking a concubine? !
  In this way, Helian Wenyu returned to the palace with complicated emotions.

Although it was said that the shopkeeper had evil intentions with the gold on her body, fortunately there was no damage other than the property.

But...why did Chu Chuanping buy Ran Ranyun?
  If it was really him, his cousin would just be the scapegoat he pushed forward.

It's also possible that the store manager didn't want to tell him the truth at all, but just said it casually. After all, he also lit some incense in the store, so this person may not be trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Helian Wenyu gradually felt relieved.

In her subconscious, she still believed in Chu Chuanping more, and she saw everything her cousin said sincerely.

"Sister Huang, what happened to your hand? Who did it?"

Helian Jingxi was carefully looking at the red mark on her hand, which was the mark of the rope on her wrist.

Helian Wenyu looked at the worried look on his emperor's brother's face, couldn't help but touch his hair, and told him everything.

Obviously I tried hard to make the emperor's brother not worry about me, but in the end...

"The bold merchant dared to kidnap the royal family. What a rebellion!" Helian Jingxi said angrily, and said to Yuwen Nai beside him, "Go and shut down all the black markets for me, the one mentioned by the imperial sister. The whole family is being executed! Go quickly!"

"Wait a minute!" Helian Wenyu said quickly, "The shopkeeper of that store probably knows about the drugging at the Chu family banquet, and I would like to take the opportunity to investigate."

Death is imminent, he can't lie to me anymore, right?
  "Did you hear that? Go and do what the imperial sister said!" Helian Jingxi had no temper at all regarding the imperial sister's instructions.

"Yes!"

After Yuwen Nai retreated, Helian Jingxi checked the injury of the emperor's sister more carefully. Fortunately, as the emperor's sister said, there was no serious problem except for the strangulation of the rope, and then he said nonchalantly.

"Sister Huang, since I learned that you were missing, I mobilized all the manpower in the capital to search for you door to door. I didn't expect you to go outside the city."

"I know you are suspicious of Chu Chuanping's execution of the servants in the dining room, but how can this be compared with the personal safety of the emperor's sister?"

"With just one word from the emperor's sister, it's easy to kill all nine of his clans. Why bother?"

Helian Wenyu felt deeply in her heart. No matter whether Fu Yanping and Chu Chuanping loved her or not, her brother was the one who loved her most in the world.

Can--

"You still can't change your habit of wanting to wipe out the Chu family at every turn." Helian Wenyu sighed helplessly.

For some reason, she always felt that the emperor's younger brother was always quite hostile to the Chu family, and he also let his guard down too much towards Fu Yanping.

"Isn't this for you, the emperor's sister?" Helian Jingxi became anxious after hearing this, "Imperial sister, you see, this matter was completely done by the Chu family. If the Chu family is wiped out, the real culprit will definitely not be able to escape. .”

A mere member of the Chu family was not worthy of being feared by him. At most, he was just a senior agricultural officer, so he didn’t know who would be suitable for him.

"Where's Fu Yanping?" Helian Wenyu reminded.

"Fu Yanping is just a guest. He definitely can't go to the dining room. Otherwise, why would Chu Chuanping kill the servants in the dining room?"

Helian Jingxi only felt that his thoughts were extremely clear, but the other party didn't buy it no matter what.

"The real culprit was his cousin. Since he chose to push her out to plead guilty, he thought her cousin was crazy and was afraid of being bitten back."

"So to be on the safe side, I killed all the servants who might have witnessed my cousin's poisoning, and then colluded with the palace to identify my cousin."

"This way, even if my cousin refuses to plead guilty after repeated interrogations, they can still prove her guilt."

"But my cousin confessed." Upon hearing this, Helian Wenyu felt extremely sympathetic to Chu Liuge, but this did not mean that she was willing to accept this statement.

"There are many doubts about this matter, so we cannot rush to this conclusion."

Helian Jingxi shook his head helplessly. How could he not know that the imperial sister had determined that Fu Yanping was involved in the poisoning and had to get to the bottom of it.

Whatever she wants, she must get.

"Speaking of which, my dear brother, are you old enough to choose a concubine?" Helen Wenyu changed the subject, "Which emperor doesn't have three thousand beauties in his harem?"

When my father was on the throne, the harem was full of concubines, but since meeting my mother, it has completely fallen into decline.

There are indeed countless beauties in the harem, but the mother and queen are the only ones who are favored, and the others just make do with their lives like nothing. Not even a few princes or princesses can be born.

Later, his father, the emperor, and his mother even died of illness within the same week. Speaking of the cause, it was very complicated. All the doctors agreed that it was a curse, while the Taoist priests insisted that it was an illness.

Then the emperor's younger brother succeeded to the throne in a hurry and spent a lot of money to dismiss the concubines in the harem. The princes were all made princes somewhere in the country, and the princess was made princess.

"Sister Huang, please stop teasing me. This kind of thing should wait until the time is right." Helian Jingxi curled his lips dissatisfied.

He remembered that he refused to accept a concubine in his previous life, so the ministers and prominent families used the imperial sister as a breakthrough to visit the Fu family with their legitimate daughter every three days.

Every family member is as annoying as dog skin plaster, and they come to visit in different ways.

The imperial sister knew that they were important officials in the court, so in order not to cause trouble to him, she had no choice but to receive them one by one.

This gave the imperial sister a headache. Later, the eviction order was posted on the door, but it still didn't help.

Helian Wenyu said as if she had made up her mind:

"Royal brother, why don't we hold a concubine selection banquet in a few days to attract virtuous women from all over the world? We will jointly agree on several themes and conduct auditions for the concubines."

"The top one hundred in the final ranking...oh no, five hundred, the top five hundred candidates will be included in the harem."

Helian Jingxi only felt that there was a circle of stars on his head, and said aggrievedly: "What? Can't I choose the most beautiful one? There are still auditions..."

"The emperor's younger brother's concubine must naturally be both beautiful and capable. The first criterion in the audition is naturally good looks."

Helian Jingxi reluctantly agreed: "Okay then."

The guard's announcement came from outside the door: "The head's family has been imprisoned in the sky prison, awaiting His Majesty's fate. We have searched for their other family members and executed them all."

"So fast?!" Helian Jingxi was overjoyed, "I understand, please step back."

"Please ask the emperor to make arrangements for the selection of the concubine as soon as possible. I will go to the Tianlao first."

After saying that, Helian Wenyu left in a hurry, leaving the emperor's brother standing there with a confused look on his face.

No, what else is more important to me?

He shook his head helplessly and ordered to the eunuch: "In three days, I will conduct an audition for concubines to recruit virtuous women from all over the world. Women of the right age in Xuefeng are welcome to sign up. Hurry and make arrangements!"

"The bigger the dish, the better." At least it has to satisfy the imperial sister.

"Yes."
