Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

"Father means that the ninth princess seized the report and did not let the emperor know, how can the ninth princess..."

Seeing that he had already reminded himself of this, but his son still didn't understand, Gong Yuanhao suddenly felt powerless and accompanied by a trace of disappointment, he took out a secret report from the drawer and handed it to him: "The Ninth Princess was taught by the emperor himself since childhood, and finally He loves the people like a son, and once he receives the report, he will immediately take countermeasures, and now there is no movement in the court, one is that the court really does not know about this matter, and the other is that the Ninth Princess has personally come to Beiyuan County to preside over the overall situation!"

Gong Yingjie opened the secret report suspiciously, and looked at his father suspiciously after reading it: "Father suspects that Miss Yun is the Ninth Princess? They have already arrived in Beiyuan County, and the raid on the Wei family was also done by the Ninth Princess?"

"Although the appearance and characteristics described in the secret report are quite different from those of the Ninth Princess, Yingjie must not forget." Gong Yuanhao said: "The Ninth Princess' real name is Mu Qingyun, and this girl Yun not only cut off the right hand of the rich businessman Deng Zhiqiang to scare the monkeys, but also used the original On the basis of taxation, [-]% of the benefits will be reduced and exempted. The kindness and power have forced more than a dozen grain merchants to help her resolve the food crisis. Even if they are not willing to help, they are forced to donate food and materials. Dare to use the court tax as an exchange condition Yes, besides the emperor, who else has this power in today's world?

It is said that there is a man with a very close relationship with her, as a father, I can be sure that this man must be Mo Xuan. "

"But the previous secret report said that the imperial concubine deliberately designed to meet the ninth princess, but the ninth princess took her personal maid and the snow wolf to the royal garden to rest. Everyone in the government and the public know about it."

"The emperor and the nine princesses are deeply in love with each other. Except for the epidemic in Nanyang County, when did Yingjie hear that the nine princesses had left the emperor's side? It is well known that Mo Xuan loves the nine princesses, and he can hardly leave the nine princesses. Why did he go to the royal family?" Mo Xuan was not among the crowd in Bieyuan? Also, the bandits and a group of local officials in Qingshi Town were killed not long ago. Even if someone deliberately blocked the news, there are still rumors that it was the Ninth Princess who did it. , the Ninth Princess of the Royal Garden is a fake, and the real Ninth Princess has arrived in Beiyuan County!"

After hearing this, Gong Yingjie was ashamed. He was really far behind the Ninth Princess: "It's because my son looked at the problem too superficially, and almost missed the important thing. Please punish me, father!"

Gong Yuanhao looked at his son with a smile and said: "My son doesn't have to be too depressed. The ninth princess is a woman and lost her mother since she was a child. Coupled with the emperor's careful cultivation and experience, her mind is naturally more delicate than ordinary people, and she looks at problems more comprehensively and more comprehensively. Go deeper, when I face the Ninth Princess in the future, my son just needs to think more."

After a moment of contemplation, Gong Yingjie realized what his father meant. The Ninth Princess was too scheming, and Mo Xuan and Zi Yiwei, if they didn't make a few more turns, they might be tricked by the Ninth Princess. Seeing his father smiling Gong Yingjie said firmly, "My son will always remember his father's teachings."

"It's fine if my son understands it." As long as the son can hold his breath, he will not be fooled with his ability and intelligence.

Suddenly thinking of something, Gong Yingjie suddenly said: "Princess Ninth's visit this time must not be just to solve the food crisis in the north. After all, Ziyiwei found that the girl's disappearance was related to the state of Zhou. If this is the case, shouldn't we ..."

Under his father's deep gaze, Gong Yingjie swallowed the words that blurted out.

"It's not unreasonable for my son to be worried." Gong Yuanhao endured the uncomfortable feeling in his throat and sighed slightly: "It would be great if Princess Jiu was the daughter of this king?"

"Father..." Gong Yingjie was taken aback for a moment: What does father mean by this?

"As a father, just talk about it casually." Gong Yuanhao waved his hand, suppressed his sense of loss, and said: "You go to Zhou Guo to find him immediately, and take five thousand guards to hide in secret. Once you find that the situation has changed, you must not Let him ruin a big deal."

Gong Yingjie nodded: "My son understands."

"Also, remember not to confront the Ninth Princess head-on, and would rather give up some people and things and come back safely."

"My son obeys." Gong Yingjie asked, "What about this side..."

Knowing what his son wanted to say, Gong Yuanhao's eyes flickered with secretiveness: "Father arranges things at home, and since such a serious crisis happened in the north, this king, as a citizen of the Jin Kingdom, has the obligation to tell the truth. Report to the emperor and the court to know, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Gong Yingjie was slightly stunned, and then realized: "The Ninth Princess deliberately concealed the disaster, causing the court to fail to resolve the crisis in time, and even causing turmoil in the government and the public. The princess is also unpopular, and we can . . . . "

"It's good to know." Gong Yuanhao looked at his son with a look of relief: "Go early and return early."

"Yes, my son is leaving."

Beiyuan County Sheriff's Mansion.

Several northern county guards headed by Guo Ziqing stood side by side in the middle of the hall, looking at the girl who sat on the main seat, although she had an ordinary face, she couldn't hide the noble temperament of Tsinghua University, and they couldn't help feeling awe.

Guo Ziqing just had complicated emotions on his face.

On that day, the girl broke into the county guard's mansion with two maids, and took out the emperor's secret decree, and then issued an order to the government servants and city guards all over the north to hoard food and wait for an opportunity to drive up prices, causing the people's crimes to live quickly. The shops of the Wei family were searched, and finally the Wei family mansion.

Originally, he did not agree to use such an extreme method to solve people's livelihood problems, but the other party had the emperor's secret decree, so he had to obey orders.

And although he had expected that the Wei family had a rich family background, when he saw with his own eyes almost piles of gold, silver and jewels, as well as several full-stacked granaries, he was still shocked: this is not a rich family, it is clearly rich. Enemy country!

In particular, it was found out that the Wei family had gained a lot of ill-gotten wealth through some illegal activities over the years. It is no wonder that the girl sentenced all the men of the Wei family to be beheaded for public display, and the female family members were given severe punishments to serve as official prostitutes.

After that, many grain merchants took the initiative to donate food and materials, and the people in Beiyuan County and surrounding counties were able to eat and wear warmly, and the problem of food shortage was finally alleviated.

In the end, it was because he lacked the courage to kill and kill, otherwise the crisis of people's livelihood in Beiyuan County would not have been so serious, and it would not have been delayed until now.

Kneeling heavily in front of Qingyun, the few people pleaded guilty with shame on their faces: "Please the imperial envoy to rule over the officials and others who failed to solve this crime of endangering the situation!"

"My lords, you don't have to blame yourself." Qingyun slightly raised her hand to signal them to get up: "Beiyuan County and surrounding counties have always been the big granary in the north of our country. No wonder some people deliberately want to bring chaos to the north. The imperial court was negligent and failed to detect the clues in time, so that the subjects suffered."

If it hadn't been for Bingying's letter saying "girls exchange horses", Yan Nuo would not have mentioned the sudden increase in food prices in the north by two or three dollars, and she would not have thought that King Wen had hoarded grain for horses at the beginning of the chaos, so she paid attention to it and immediately dispatched Ziyiwei came to investigate.

It's just that the people behind the scenes are very cunning. After hearing the news, they resolutely stopped exchanging horses and buying food and eliminated all traces, so it has not been found out who has the wrong intentions so far.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, Guo Ziqing said cautiously: "The imperial envoy means that this incident was deliberately done by someone?"

"A few adults, if you think about the whole story again, you will understand."

Hearing this, several people really lowered their heads and began to meditate on their own.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, grain prices suddenly rose by two or three renminbi. They were all grain merchants and wanted to take advantage of the new year to make a fortune as usual, so they didn't care.

After that, the price of grain did not rise again, and the grain merchants hoarded a large amount of grain. When it was time for spring plowing and planting, people everywhere could not buy seeds, and the grain merchants all said that there was no grain in stock.

Although they felt that something was wrong, after some investigation, the warehouses of the grain merchants were indeed empty, and they all said that the grain they had hoarded before had been bought by people who had booked in advance. Take out official food and sell it to the common people at a par price.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, many people came to buy grain again, for various reasons. For the sake of the people's livelihood, the government once again opened warehouses to release grain.

When they realized that something was wrong, there was not much government food left, and the people still had no spring plowing. After questioning, they found out that the people had sold the food at high prices, and the people who bought the food were different.

At the same time, all prices rose rapidly, especially food prices rose to the highest price in history, and then there was a food shortage in various places. Only then did they realize that the matter was serious, and they immediately reported it to the court. Famine, the consequences are unimaginable.

Now I heard from the imperial envoy that someone really did it deliberately, but who has such strong financial resources?What is the purpose of buying so much food?

"I believe that the adults have figured it out." Taking a panoramic view of the suddenly enlightened expressions of the several people, Qing Yun's brows were as clear as water.

After hearing this, several people calmed down and nodded one after another, Guo Ziqing still had doubts: "I don't know something about this official, and I hope that the imperial envoy can clear up the confusion for this official."

"Master Guo, please tell me."

"The lower officials have reported this matter to the imperial court for at least a month. Why hasn't the imperial court responded?"

"As I said just now, it was the court's negligence."

"This is a major issue related to people's livelihood. A little carelessness will cause chaos in the government and the public. How can the court be negligent?"

"Presumptuous!" Qing Yun hadn't said anything yet, and she had already yelled coquettishly: "As a local parent official, it is a serious crime for you to fail to find out the problem in time and properly solve it. Now you dare to shirk your responsibility and blame the court. It is an unforgivable crime. !"

When they heard this, their hearts trembled.

Which of them didn't study hard for ten years and get the first rank, and they have been in the camp for more than ten years before they took the position of the fourth-rank county guard. In this incident, they were indeed dereliction of duty first. Not to mention the black veil on their heads, their lives may be in danger, and their families may even be implicated.

Kneeling on the ground with a thump, the terrified people dared not take a breath. Guo Ziqing was about to say something, but a sheriff next to him quietly pulled him back and shook his head slightly at him.

At this moment, life-saving is the most important thing.

But Guo Ziqing, who is upright and upright by nature, shook off the man's hand angrily, and looked up at Qingyun fearlessly: "I still have doubts, this matter is related to the stability of the country and society, why didn't the emperor send a minister with extraordinary ability in the court to come?" Come to preside over the overall situation, but give the girl a secret order?"

As soon as Guo Ziqing said this, the rest of the people gasped, and at the same time moved their knees to the side to stay away from him.

It is obvious that those who can obtain the emperor's secret decree must be those whom the emperor trusts and relies heavily on. If Guo Ziqing wants to die, don't implicate them.

He waved his hand to stop Chayue who wanted to reprimand Guo Ziqing again, his clear eyes moved among the few people who lowered their heads in shock, and finally fell on Guo Ziqing's face with a fearless expression, the corners of Qingyun's lips raised a hint of No smile.

She has heard about Guo Ziqing, who is outspoken and stubborn, so he doesn't know how to be flexible as a man or an official. If he hadn't met such a wise emperor as his father, he would never have a bright future, and he would even be killed. If she didn't know that he was utterly loyal and honest to her father, she could have killed him according to the law just because he failed to discover the clues in time and caused serious crimes.

Looking directly at the silent Qingyun, Guo Ziqing insisted: "I also ask the girl to explain the confusion for the subordinate."

"My lords have been in the officialdom for many years. You should know that the relationship between the court and China is complicated. The emperor has long noticed that this matter is unusual. If you are not careful, there will be an uproar. In order to prevent the situation from further expanding, he secretly ordered me to The little girl with no family background came here, this is also to prevent some people from waiting for the opportunity to make trouble." Qing Yun said calmly: "I don't know if my explanation can solve the doubts in Mr. Guo's mind?"

Guo Ziqing was out of line, but he was not an ignorant person, so he soon understood, and said with a face of shame: "It's the lower officials who didn't think carefully, please forgive me, my lord imperial envoy!"

"These adults are all good officials who are dedicated to serving the country and the people. If these adults hadn't tried their best to dispatch food to relieve the people and stabilize the situation, the consequences can be imagined. People say that I don't know the rewards and punishments?" Qing Yun said with a smile: "It's been hard work for you adults, get up."

Seeing that Qingyun did not intend to blame them, Guo Ziqing and the others quickly thanked them and stood up.

Looking at the respectful people, Qingyun said meaningfully: "Although the food problem has been solved and the situation has been controlled to deteriorate further, this matter is far from over, so the adults must be vigilant and take strict precautions against someone Repeat the old tricks, from now on,

[-]. Strictly check the foreigners who have entered their respective jurisdictions in the past six months or even a year. If there is no evidence to prove their identity, they will all be put in prison for interrogation. If they find special circumstances, report them immediately;

Second, inform the officials of all counties, counties, villages and towns that according to the household registration information, each household can only buy one catty of rice grain per person per day, and those who violate the regulations will be severely punished;

Three, it is now the late stage of spring plowing and spring planting, assist and urge the people to cultivate as soon as possible;

Fourth, all donated items, the daily distribution of food to the people and the use of the 50 taels of silver I allocated to you must be registered in the register;

Fifth, order the soldiers stationed in various places to strengthen their defenses. Once it is confirmed that someone is planning to commit crimes, shoot and kill them!

Do you remember? "

Looking at Qing Yun with the clear and majestic brows in his eyes, all of them were in awe: "The lower officials will strictly implement the orders of the imperial envoy!"

"Very good, if you have anything to do, please send someone to Zuiyun Tower to find me."

Guo Ziqing was stunned: "Doesn't the imperial envoy live in the government office?"

"I have other things to do, and it's inconvenient to live in the government office." Qingyun shook her head: "As for tomorrow's supervision and execution of the criminals in the Wei family, Mr. Guo will be fully responsible. For the female family members, escort them to the barracks immediately."

Although she couldn't bear it, she knew that Mo Xuan insisted on doing this to avoid future troubles. After all, the Wei family is a business family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and its heritage is very deep.

In particular, women cannot be ignored. Since ancient times, there have been many women who have set off bloody storms and even subverted dynasties, especially women who harbor hatred, such as the favorite concubine of the last emperor of the previous dynasty who avenged his family, such as those who were hated because of love. The founder of Juechen Palace. . . . . .So, they have to guard against.

Speaking of Juechen Palace, she remembered what Yu Peiyao had said. She has been busy searching Wei's house and solving the food problem these days, so she didn't have time to talk to the owner of Yuzhuang and his wife. Besides, she had to send a secret letter to her father. The emperor and the others had to prepare early.

"Okay, it's time for me to go back to Zuiyun Tower, you all go to your own duties." After speaking, Qingyun left with Zhuyue and Wuying.

"The next official will send you off to the imperial envoy!"

After leaving the Sheriff's Mansion, Qingyun originally planned to visit Yuhua Villa, but somehow felt empty in her heart, as if something was wrong. Looking back at Zhuyue and Wuying who were closely behind her, she realized that she never left her side Mo Xuan is not there, it seems that since he watched him fall asleep last night, he hasn't seen him until now.

Thinking of this, Qingyun immediately returned to the exclusive backyard of Zuiyun Building, but Mo Xuan was still missing. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was abnormal, Qingyun summoned the hidden guards to ask, and they all said that they had never seen Mo Xuan.

Looking at Qingyun who was frowning tightly, An Shisan said cautiously: "Master, why don't you go out and look for Mr. Mo?"

"No need." Shaking his head slightly, Qingyun turned back to the room, and then sat down at the table: Mo Xuan's martial arts is much higher than that of the hidden guards, if he tries to avoid it, the hidden guards won't notice arrived.

Poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Qingyun, and comforted Yueyue: "Miss, don't worry, maybe Mr. Mo is going to assist Wenxiu and Haiyang in handling affairs, and he will be back soon."

"I hope so." Qingyun looked down at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea water, and looked up at the door from time to time, with worry and anxiety that couldn't be concealed in her eyes.

After waiting until it got dark, shopkeeper Liao brought someone to set up dinner, but Mo Xuan still hadn't come back, and Situ Jingyu and Lou Haiyang were nowhere to be seen. Qingyun suddenly became a little anxious, and was about to order Zhuyue to go out and ask In this situation, Lou Haiyang and Yu Peiyao were heard bickering.

Qingyun's heart relaxed slightly, she hurriedly put down the teacup and walked to the door, only to see Situ Jingyu, Lou Haiyang, Yu Peiyao and Yun Zhuying walking one after another, but Mo Xuan was not seen at all, her slightly relaxed heart suddenly became tense When he got up, the voice he tried to suppress was full of anxiety: "Where is Mo Xuan? Is he not with you?"

"Mo Xuan?" Yu Peiyao, who never knew Mr. Mo's full name "Mo Xuan", asked subconsciously: "Who is Mo Xuan?"

Raising his eyebrows and squinting at Yu Peiyao, Lou Haiyang laughed and said, "I keep saying that I love him deeply, but I even know his name. Do you call this love?"

"Mr. Mo? Mo Xuan? So he is the world-renowned miracle doctor Mo Xuan!" Yu Peiyao murmured softly, her beautiful face was full of surprise, joy, and loss. . . . . .With all kinds of complicated emotions, it is even rarer that there is no retort.

When Situ Jingyu saw Qingyun waiting at the door for the first time, she felt joy and pity in her heart. Before she had time to say anything, she heard her eagerly asking Mo Xuan. For a moment, she felt bitterness spread in her heart. Mo Xuan, can't you tolerate others anymore?

Seeing the undisguised worry and anxiety in her brows, Situ Jingyu suddenly felt heartbroken, glared fiercely at Lou Haiyang who was about to ridicule Yu Peiyao again, looked at Qingyun and said with concern: "We haven't seen him for a day either. , isn't Mo Xuan with Miss?"

"No!" Qingyun shook her head: "I haven't seen him since he left last night. I thought he was tired and resting and didn't care. I, I..."

It's all her fault that she only wanted to deal with this incident as soon as possible, but ignored Mo Xuan invisibly, so she didn't notice his strangeness in time, it was all her fault!

Looking at Qingyun who blamed herself and helplessness, Situ Jingyu's heart ached like twists and turns, and she really wanted to hug her into her arms to comfort her, but she was worried about the presence of too many people, so she clenched her hands hanging by her sides into a knot. Quan said softly: "Miss, don't worry, maybe Mo Xuan has something to delay, and he will be back in a while." While comforting Qingyun, he gave Lou Haiyang a wink.

Lou Haiyang instantly understood: "Wenxiu is right, Mo Xuan likes saving people the most, maybe he was busy treating people who were seriously ill, so he didn't have time to inform Miss."

"Really?" Qingyun didn't believe Lou Haiyang's words at all, she was too aware of Mo Xuan's nature of never saving people easily, unless. . . . . .

"Of course they lied to you!" Yu Peiyao, who had calmed down her complex emotions, glared at Qingyun angrily, and said loudly: "He only has you in his heart, and he wished to stay by your side every second, how could he suddenly disappear? It was something important that happened, and it was related to you. He didn't want you to be hurt, so he faced it and took it on himself!

what about you?He disappeared for a day, and you didn't realize that something was wrong until this moment, and you didn't send someone to find him immediately, and you just waited here foolishly, have you ever really taken him to heart?

Do you know how many people's interests have been harmed by the suppression and raids these past few days? If he hadn't been by your side to protect you, how many times would you have died?Do you know how ruthless and vicious those people's methods are, that if they fall into their hands, life would be worse than death?

Have you forgotten what you promised me?If he makes a mistake, I will never let you go! After Yu Peiyao roared, she turned around and galloped away.

Hearing Yu Peiyao's accusation, Qing Yun's face turned pale, and her figure shook violently. Fortunately, Zhui Yue and Wu Ying helped her in time so she didn't fall down: "Miss..."

Situ Jingyu and Lou Haiyang were also worried, while Yun Zhuiying was silent, but his lips were pursed into a straight line.

"I'm fine. You've been tired all day too, eat and rest early, and you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Rejecting Zhuyue and Wuying's support, Qingyun walked towards the inner room step by step with her lips tightly pursed, two lines Tears ran across her cheeks silently, and there was an unconcealable sadness and loneliness on the brows of her eyes.

The four people standing there silently looked at her forlorn and thin back, with different thoughts.

Three days and three nights passed, and Mo Xuan still didn't come back. Yu Peiyao secretly mobilized all the forces in Yuhua Villa without alarming outsiders, but they couldn't find Mo Xuan's trace.

And Qingyun calmly handles affairs during the day, and sits quietly at the table alone at night, waiting by the flickering candlelight.

She would like to imagine Yu Peiyao desperately looking for Mo Xuan, but she can't, because she is not only Mo Xuan's Xiyan, but also the nine princesses of the Jin Kingdom. She is supported by the subjects of the whole country. Due responsibilities and obligations must be fulfilled.

But Mo Xuan was her favorite person, and she never left her since her 15th birthday. She was really worried about him, so worried that she couldn't sleep for three nights.

Looking up at the gray sky outside, Qingyun blinked her dry eyes, with a bitter smile of disappointment on her lips.

It's another day, where are you?Is everything safe and sound?

Picking up the teacup on the table to wake up, only to find that the teacup and the teapot had no water left. Qingyun stood up and wanted to wash up with cold water. Unexpectedly, due to sitting for a long time, her feet were already numb, and she was about to fall Down, a pair of strong arms supported her at the right time, and the familiar faint herbal fragrance enveloped her peacefully.

"Chen Yu..." Qingyun murmured in a low voice.

Buried in her hair exuding a light fragrance, Mo Xuan's slightly hoarse voice revealed infinite tenderness: "Xiyan, I'm back."

Trying her best to break free from Mo Xuan's embrace, Qing Yun took a few steps forward, then turned and stared at him and said coldly: "You still know how to come back!"

Mo Xuan smiled, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hold Qing Yun tightly in his arms, kissed her forehead with cool lips, and then buried his face in her jade-white neck.

Qingyun wanted to push him away, but the scorching breath lingering in her ears let out a soft sigh: "Xiyan, these nine years are harder for me than a few lifetimes..."

Hearing this, Qingyun was stunned for a moment and forgot to struggle, it took him a long time to realize that what he said was 'one day is like three autumns', his heart softened immediately, his hands naturally wrapped around his waist, but his tone was still cold: "You also know you've been away for so long."

"I'm sorry Xiyan, I made you worry." Sitting on the seat in front of her with Qingyun in his arms, Mo Xuan bowed his head and was about to kiss the red lips that he was thinking about day and night to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Unexpectedly, Qing Yun clenched his fist with his right hand and punched his chest hard, Mo Xuan yelled "Ouch", the voice was full of pain.

Qing Yun, who thought he was putting on a show, couldn't help changing his complexion when he saw the fine cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and suddenly tore off the skirt of his clothes, only to see a palm print of a color like cinnabar on his white left chest.

"How is this going?"
