The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 173 Decree to reconcile
Xie Zhiyan's expression did not change, and he did not answer Hengdi's probing eyes at all: "Wei Chen was worried that there would be no breakthrough in the case of investigating the grain and military rations. But unfortunately, Miss Lu gave Wei Chen the opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation of his household registration because of Jiang's affairs. Some people were buying and selling official slaves to gain power, and they did me a big favor. The eldest princess received the petition signed by the victims, and gave it to Wei Chen, the best tool to investigate corrupt officials. Wei Chen was grateful to them, so he naturally had to help them. A fair word."

"Sometimes, the troubles caused by the family affairs of these women can stir up waves in the court. The humble minister is just fishing in troubled waters, and maybe he can catch two big fish."

"What's more, the eldest princess and Miss Lu's disaster relief work is what the people want, and they are praised by both the people and the ministers. The humble ministers are just taking advantage of the two of them to do things for His Majesty."

Emperor Heng said with a teasing smile: "I think you are unusual for Lu Wan. Could it be that you want to pity her? She is Xie Zhiyan's wife."

A smile appeared on Xie Zhiyan's cooperative lips: "Hey, Your Majesty is making fun of Wei Chen again. How can a person who has no roots in Wei Chen be used to pity others?"

Emperor Heng laughed loudly when he heard this: "You bitch, you don't have to do anything to yourself. If you want someone to tell me, I will give it to you as your wife."

Xie Zhiyan bent down: "Wei Chen thanks Your Majesty for your kindness. Although Wei Chen is physically disabled, he can't do anything to harm his innocent daughter's family, lest he get put into the coffin and be spat on."

Emperor Heng's depressed mood was relieved a lot: "It would be great if the prince-in-law was as sensible as you. The Lu family needs to be beaten."

"Your Majesty has made a decision a long time ago. Just as your Majesty was decisive in killing the Xu family, he also secretly suppressed the Feng family and the Qin family with great results, taking all the military power of the three families into his hands. Now it is natural to deal with the nobles with ease."

There was a hint of evil in Emperor Heng's eyes: "You are not afraid of death, you dare to say anything."

Xie Zhiyan's expression did not change: "In front of His Majesty, any pretense made by a humble minister is in vain. It is better to tell the truth."

Only then did Emperor Heng regain his smile: "I like you to tell the truth. I don't feel tired talking to you, and I don't have to beat around the bush."

His voice changed: "Is it you who recommended the face that Yi'er likes?"

Emperor Heng has very keen ears and eyes.

Xie Zhiyan said sternly: "Your Majesty, Qin Haotian is not a handsome man. He is a doctor, a facial repair doctor with extremely high medical skills. Wei Chen fell off a cliff and was injured on the face. It was he who used the facial repair technique on Wei Chen's behalf, and then Wei Chen was killed. His appearance was restored to 70%. Moreover, he invented a medicine that can relieve inflammation. Wei Chen's leg was broken and almost useless after being soaked in water for two days. He used this medicine to save Wei Chen's leg. "

Emperor Heng looked at his face in astonishment: "No wonder, I think you are a little different, and I also think you look a bit like Xie Zhiyan. Well, your eyes are more like Xie Zhiyan's. You used to be cold and cold, and you were always vigilant. A cat with fried hair doesn’t trust anyone and likes to be alone, but now you like to socialize with people.”

Xie Zhiyan said calmly: "Prince Xie is a dragon and a phoenix among men. He is more handsome than Pan An. He is a useless minister. How can he compare with him? I just stayed with Prince Xie for a long time and learned a few things about his behavior."

Emperor Heng stared at him for a while: "Well, Xie Zhiyan is not as ruthless as you."

Xie Zhiyan smiled: "Your Majesty praised Wei Chen as a sharp knife."

"Ha, you do know how to put gold on your face." Emperor Heng smiled.

"Wei Chen recommended Qin Haotian to the eldest princess because the eldest princess just wanted to maintain her beauty. Wei Chen also cherished his talents and hoped that he would have the opportunity to display his talents. The eldest princess also supported him in opening a medical beauty salon, and many officials in Bianjing went there I have visited him before, and this person has a very good reputation, but he has never revealed his real name to others. People who are interested do not know the truth and his identity, so they are just making a fuss about it. "

"Oh?" Emperor Heng looked at him: "There is such a powerful person among the people, so he chose a day to announce him to the palace and let me see how he can cultivate his face. As you said, if he has real talent and knowledge, he can enter the imperial hospital. Served.”

"Yes. If you can gain His Majesty's favor, the princess will have merit in recommending you."

"Yi'er has always been smart and obedient." Emperor Heng changed his voice and his smile faded: "I also heard that Xu Yun was raised by Yi'er? Didn't your Imperial City Department find out whether there are any remnants of the Xu family?"

Xie Zhiyan looked at the suddenly cold-faced Emperor Heng, and said calmly without changing his expression: "Wei Chen already knows why Xu Yun was transferred to the Bianjing Jiaofang Division. Wei Chen's thorough investigation of the household registration not only revealed that someone was secretly reselling officials. The important thing is that someone wanted to use the Xu family's official slaves to make a profit. The eldest princess was just taken advantage of."

Emperor Heng's face sank: "Does the Xu family want to seek revenge on me?"

"It's hard to say. The ministers have sent people to monitor Xu Yun to see who will have secret dealings with him, who will cause trouble secretly."

Emperors have always been suspicious, and are especially sensitive to things that threaten the throne.

Sure enough, the doubts in Emperor Heng's heart could not be dispelled: "Tell me, will Yi'er hate me for what happened to Xu Yun? Or even hate me for marrying her to the Lu family? So, will she secretly interact with Xu Yun and have some conspiracy? ?”

Xie Zhiyan thought for a while: "Probably not. The eldest princess should know that transferring Xu Yun out of the Jiaofang Division violated court rules, so she didn't go to see Xu Yun. Based on Wei Chen's guess, the eldest princess just returned Xu Yun's childhood because of guilt. It’s just a friendship.”

"Really?" Emperor Heng frowned. Once the person closest to you betrays you, it is the most fatal thing.

Such as the queen.

Therefore, since Li Haorui's death in battle, the Queen seems to have become a different person, and Emperor Heng has gradually distanced himself from the Queen and become wary of her.

"Wei Chen thinks that someone is deliberately using Xu Yun to seduce the eldest princess. If Xu Yun is resentful, I don't know what he will do. Therefore, Wei Chen believes that your majesty should reward the eldest princess to let her know that you trust her, not Push her out."

Emperor Heng was convinced, his face gradually changed, and he said coldly: "Check!"

"Yes."

The chamberlain came over and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is awake."

Emperor Heng hurriedly stood up and hurried inside. He saw Li Yuyi leaning on the couch with a sad expression, his phoenix eyes that had lost their luster were filled with tears, and he stared at him with grievance, and whispered hoarsely: "Father..."

His heart suddenly softened, and he quickly walked forward, sat on the edge of the collapse, and comforted: "Yi'er, stop crying, my father shouldn't force you. My father will immediately issue an order for you to reconcile with Lu Qianzhi. You want to think about that beast?" It’s up to you to kill.”

After saying that, he looked at Feng Wenjun, who was standing quietly beside him.

"Don't worry, my father will not blame your mother and queen. You mother and daughter solved my problems and comforted the victims who came to Beijing without using a single tael of money from the treasury. I want to reward you."

Hearing this, Li Yuyi burst into tears and said, "Thank you so much, Father. I deserve death for contradicting my father in public. I am willing to become a nun and pray for my father's peace and prosperity."

"Nonsense. You are my first princess. You have done a great job in this disaster relief. You should be rewarded. How about becoming a nun? You take good care of yourself and the rewards will come soon."

"My dear father, I thank you." Li Yuyi was about to leave the bed to salute, but was supported by Emperor Heng.

"Okay, don't move."

Feng Wenjun slowly knelt down.

Emperor Heng was very angry when he saw this. Didn't he just say that he didn't blame her but still wanted to reward her?

Is it over?
"I beg your majesty to allow me to go to the Princess Mansion to take care of Yi'er. The cut on her neck is quite deep, so I don't trust her."

Emperor Heng's expression softened after hearing this: "The queen still has to take charge of the harem. It will be good if I send a few more imperial doctors to the eldest princess' mansion. The queen doesn't have to worry."

"The child is the mother's heart and soul, I beg your majesty for your permission." Feng Wenjun said stubbornly, even kowtowing in ceremony.

Anger welled up in Emperor Heng's heart.

Seeing this, Li Yuyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Emperor Heng's sleeve: "Father, Yi'er is afraid. Please allow your mother to stay with Yi'er for a while."

The movement of his arm touched the wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

Emperor Heng and Feng Wenjun were both shocked. They hurriedly supported her and said in unison: "Don't move."

Emperor Heng sighed: "Okay. Then about the harem..."

"Concubine Lu has always been in charge of the Sixth Palace, so just leave all the power to her."

Emperor Heng stared at her calm face and choked on his words for a long time.

I felt a little flustered for no reason.

It's May Day. My little ancestor is going to play and still has time to read novels?
