The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 346 Watching a play, entering the palace

As Chu Xiyuan's most trusted servant, Li Ren was well placed by Chu Ling after Chu Xiyuan's death.In order to show his filial piety to the late emperor, Chu Ling took good care of Li Ren, sent a few servants to serve him, and gave him a thousand taels of gold and a Zhuangzi with [-] mu of land so that he could live on for the rest of his life.

It's just that in Yun Xi's eyes, this might not be spying on Li Ren.

In order not to attract Chu Ling's attention, and because she felt it was unnecessary, she did not touch him under Chu Ling's nose.Now it seems that how much is still needed.

Yun Xi's eyes rolled slightly, and she quickly ordered the matter.

So on November [-]st, the Zhuangzi where Li Ren stayed was burnt to ashes because of an accidental fire. Li Ren didn't escape in time and turned into a charred skeleton.After Chu Ling learned of this, she was very heartbroken, and even gave Li Ren a good posthumous title.

However, Yun Xi and Yun Shen were face to face with Li Ren, who was logically dead.

When Yun Shen was in the palace, he also received a lot of care from Li Ren, and Li Ren was still an old friend of his biological father Chu Xiyuan, so he restrained his usual arrogance in front of him.

Li Ren looked at him, sighed slightly, and said, "You really know your background."

Seeing that Li Ren's eyes were sunken and his body was thin, Yun Xi guessed that Li Ren's life in Zhuangzi might not be easy.

Yun Shen was silent for a moment, and asked, "Chu Ling, does he know about this?"

Li Ren smiled lightly. He had a bit of elegance when he smiled. If he was not said to be an eunuch, not many people would have guessed his identity.

"Of course he knows." A trace of disgust flashed in Li Ren's eyes. "As soon as the emperor and courtiers are in charge, many people naturally want to please him, the new emperor."

"Every imperial edict will be recorded in the book. Although His Majesty wrote the two imperial edicts to you privately, they are recorded in the library after all, but the content of the imperial edict is not recorded."

Yun Xi frowned slightly, so Chu Ling discovered the clue from this point?
"Your Majesty specially took out the booklet and asked Princess Duanchang to keep it. Logically speaking, no one should know about it. It's just that He Dong happened to be on duty at the time and knew about the imperial decree. For the sake of glory and wealth, he chose to inform it."

Ho Tung...

When Yun Xi heard the name, she frowned slightly.This person used to be an editor of the Hanlin Academy, but was suddenly reused by Chu Ling last year, and was promoted to become a magistrate, and it was still a hot place, presumably because of the whistleblowing.

She also understood why Li Ren looked like this.Thinking about this period of time, Chu Ling definitely wants to get more words out of his mouth, such as the whereabouts of the booklet, such as the content of the imperial decree...

Seeing that Chu Ling can only use some small tricks so far, Li Ren should have never revealed the truth, otherwise Princess Duanchang could not be so calm.

She pursed her lips, bowed solemnly like Li Renfu, "Thank you."

Some people will sell themselves for the so-called glory and wealth, but some people can keep their hearts under the coercion and temptation.

Li Ren coughed and said, "I'm not doing it for you, it's just that Your Majesty treats me so well. I don't want to be like those villains and commit treason."

Yun Shen asked, "What are your plans next?"

Li Ren smiled and said, "Just choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and send me there to enjoy my old age. I've worked hard all my life, and I'm already tired."

"Of course." For Yun Xi and the others, it was just a matter of lifting a finger, so they were naturally willing to help Li Ren.

They brought Li Ren out this time, although they couldn't bring out other gold and silver treasures.But Li Ren took the silver ticket with him.Yun Xi and his wife not only helped him create a new household registration status, but also gave him another 3000 taels.

After Li Ren left, Yun Xi discussed with Yun Shen about entering the palace on the fifth.

Yun Xi was eager to try, "If it doesn't work, I can assassinate him directly." In front of Yun Shen, she can show her dangerous side without reservation.In her previous life, she had always done this. Once she sensed something bad, she would cut it off decisively.Chu Tianzhan is already 12 years old this year, even if Chu Ling does go, he can still be alone.

People who don't know listen to her and think she's just bragging.Assassinating the emperor of a country is not as easy as saying a few words lightly.But Yun Xi knew that she was not talking big, she and Yun Shen were not underestimated in terms of influence over the years, at least much better than Chu Ling's hidden guard.

Speaking of which, in the assassination on New Year's Eve last year, the women who were shot belonged to Chu Ling's secret guards.I don't know if it was the inspiration brought to him by Bai Yijiao or what, Chu Ling specially built an assassination department that only recruited female assassins.

Yun Shen lowered his gaze, with a faint smile on his face, like the moonlight outside the window, exuding a sense of coolness, "There's no rush. If you do something at this time, it's not easy to clean up the traces."

As if remembering something, the smile on his lips deepened a little, "During this time, his body has been hollowed out by the pill."

"So fast?" Yun Xi's original plan was within three to five years, but Chu Ling's more and more tricks annoyed her, so she wanted to speed up.

Yun Shen coughed, with a gentlemanly look on his face, "Since the cold in the Spring Festival, Chu Ling has been a little powerless in sex, so she took a lot of pills."

Yun Xi almost burst out laughing—is he going to stop lifting?

After laughing, Yun Xi somewhat understood that this was probably caused by Yun Shen.He was on duty in the palace every day and often met Chu Ling, so it was so easy to attack him without anyone noticing.

I don't know what kind of game Chu Ling set up that day.Although Yun Shen could have escaped by making an established fact of being sick before then, if he really did that, Chu Ling might follow this step and remove Yun Shen's official position.

Yun Shen held her hand, and placed a light kiss on her hand, "Don't worry, I've already prepared, you just need to watch the show."

Yun Xi nodded. She could also directly ask Yun Shen what he planned to do, but if he did, he would lose the fun of watching the show after all, so it's better to maintain a certain degree of curiosity first.

On November [-]th, they entered the palace early in the morning.

Yun Xi did not bring the three children in, but told them to stay at home obediently.She also didn't expect any accident to happen, and then accidentally implicate the child.

As for the gift for Yang Yeqing, she had already prepared it, it was a pot of green peonies.Green peony is not a peony, but a treasure among chrysanthemums.There are also green peonies in the capital. When they first bloom, the flower color is green like emerald, but after being exposed to the sun, the green is yellowish, but this is already a rare treasure.Yunxi's basin is not the case, it is always like the finest jadeite, dazzling in the sun.

Yang Yeqing loves chrysanthemums the most, so Yun Xi simply gave peaches to plums and gave her this green peony, which is the only gift in the capital that she can give.

After she entered the palace with Yun Shen, Yun Xi took the chrysanthemum and went directly to Funing Palace, which was the palace where Yang Yeqing lived and the residence of successive empresses.

When Yun Xi arrived, many people had ordered his wife to come to greet Yang Yeqing.Yang Yeqing was dressed in a bright yellow queen's court dress, looking graceful and luxurious.Yun Xi has given her and Su Wan some skin care products over the years, so she looks like she is in her early 20s, but she has a calm and majestic temperament.

Yang Yeqing greeted the ladies dignifiedly and gracefully, and after seeing Yun Xi coming, a sincere smile appeared in her eyes.

Before Yun Xi could greet her, she had ordered someone to bring Yun Xi a stool to sit on.

Li Qiu directly brought the chrysanthemum over.

When Yang Yeqing saw the pot of green peonies, her eyes lit up immediately, and she said with a smile, "Is this a birthday gift from you?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly, "Yes, I was lucky a while ago, and I happened to breed this plant, so I simply used it to throw peaches and plums."

In fact, there are also chrysanthemums of other colors, but as the saying goes, what is rare is the most expensive. Compared with the rare green chrysanthemum, it is not particularly rare.

Yang Yeqing was originally a lover of chrysanthemums, so she immediately asked someone to put chrysanthemums in front of her, and made no secret of her love for this gift, "I was very itchy when I saw you gave Concubine Rou several pots of orchids, but I don't know if you are good at it. Chrysanthemum, so it’s not easy to ask for it, but now it’s cheaper for me.”

The other wives also followed suit, "I heard everyone say that Mrs. Yun is a flower fairy descended from the earth, I still didn't believe it. Now I believe it, she really can grow any flower."

Not only peonies and orchids, but even this chrysanthemum is so well raised.

Yun Xi could only say modestly: "It's just that I have better luck than others."

"There are so many lucky people in the world, but there is only one Mrs. Yun who can cultivate all kinds of treasures."

When everyone said this, they couldn't help but feel a little sour.They also heard that Mrs. Yun's flowers are extremely expensive to sell, with a pot selling for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and everyone flocks to them.It was too easy for her to make money.

Yun Xi just smiled lightly, and immediately changed the subject.

Although Chu Ling doted on Concubine Xi and Concubine Zhen, she also gave Yang Yeqing the dignity of the so-called queen in front of people. Coupled with the stable status of the crown prince, everyone naturally tried their best to flatter Yang Yeqing.There are also many people who think that Yang Yeqing is really lucky. At that time, several people who were concubines with her were higher than her, but she was the queen in the end.

The maids below also served tea and snacks.Soon, Yu Qingran also arrived, and after greeting her, she sat beside Yun Xi.

A court lady came with six cups of nectar tea.Suddenly she seemed to have tripped over something, and the tea in her hand spilled out.If it was Yun Xi, with her skills, this tea would not be able to fall on her.

But Yu Qingran was different. The hot tea splashed on her body, which made her cry out in surprise.Fortunately, it is cold winter now, and everyone wears thick clothes, so they won't get burned.

The maid hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Yu Qingran has always had a good temper, and the maid didn't do it on purpose, so she asked her to get up.

Yang Yeqing frowned for a moment, and then calmly asked someone to take Yu Qingran to the side hall to change a set of clothes.

Normally, Yun Xi would have let her mother go there alone, but not today... She couldn't help but think of Chu Ling, and began to conspiratorially argue that there wouldn't be anything waiting for her mother, right? .

Yun Xi suddenly couldn't sit still, and said, "I'll go with my stepmother."

Yang Yeqing also sent two of her confidantes and a nanny to go there together, and the team seemed to be quite large.Those who knew the inside story knew that Yu Qingran was going to change clothes, but those who didn't know looked at the battle and thought he was going to kick the gym.

Yu Qingran was a little uneasy, and said to Yun Xi in a low voice: "There is no need to mobilize people like this, it's just a change of clothes."

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth curled up into a faint smile, "I also want to go out and enjoy the plum blossoms."

Only then did Yu Qingran believe her words.

Although it is a side hall, it is also very magnificent.

Yu Qingran changed into a set of clean clothes inside the house, and then went out.

Yun Xi smelled a very faint fragrance on her body, although it was very faint, it couldn't escape her nose.

She was thoughtful, so the other party was looking for a breakthrough from her mother?
Her hand subconsciously grasped the jade pendant of Qingluan wood on her body, no matter what, she would not fall for it easily.

When they came out of the side hall, it happened that Concubine Xi Wu Yu was walking towards them.It seems that she also wants to pay her respects to the Queen Yang Yeqing.

Seeing her hand subconsciously placed on her lower abdomen, Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat.
