The concubine is addicted to the world
Chapter 192, find another way out
Chapter 192, find another way out
It wasn't until early in the morning that the wind gradually stopped and the fire was extinguished. There was a burnt smell everywhere in Xun Wang's mansion.
King Xun's gloomy eyes looked at Concubine Mei a little bit unkindly, Concubine Mei was agitated and quickly reacted.
"Speak, and give me an explanation."
Concubine Mei raised her head and glanced at Concubine Xun, she felt something was wrong, "My lord, I was the first to come here when I heard that Zhufengzhai was on fire last night, but the wind was too strong, so I couldn't save it in time, the cause of the fire is under investigation."
Zhufengzhai has not been inhabited for a long time, how could it catch fire suddenly, and it happens to be next to Xiyuan, and whenever it comes into contact with Xiyuan, Concubine Mei unconsciously thinks of Concubine Xun.
"My lord, this concubine thought this incident was a bit strange. Zhufengzhai has been idle for so many years, how could it suddenly catch fire? As soon as the second young lady left yesterday morning, something happened to Xiyuan. How can I explain it when I come back?"
Concubine Mei's words made King Xun ponder, and unconsciously looked at Princess Xun, who gritted her teeth and glared at Concubine Mei angrily.
"Princess, I feel that the sky is dry and things are dry. Many of the servants accidentally touched the candlestick, or burned the oil lamp." As soon as Princess Xun finished speaking, she coughed violently while covering her lips. Mother Fang hurried forward and stroked her back, "Princess , you are not in good health yet, and you have exhausted your physical strength and have no time to take care of your son's marriage these days."
Nanny Fang murmured unintentionally, King Xun looked away, Qi Xuan's wedding was imminent, Princess Xun should not be so reckless, and King Xun knew how much Princess Xun cared about Qi Xuan.
Just watching Xiyuan burn more than half, King Xun felt a little headache.
"Investigate! Be sure to investigate strictly!" King Xun said in a deep voice.
As the sky gradually brightened, King Xun rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and stood in the courtyard walking up and down, full of anger.
Concubine Mei didn't dare to provoke her, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, she kept staring at Princess Xun, who had a frank face, showing no flaws.
After a while, a guard came in and whispered something in King Xun's ear, and King Xun's expression changed drastically.
"go!"
King Xun strode towards the outer courtyard, and Princess Xun and Concubine Mei followed with puzzled faces.
"Sister, it's not about you, is it?" Concubine Mei raised her eyes and stared at Concubine Xun. The side concubine should keep her mouth shut, it's disrespectful to wantonly speculate on this concubine!"
Concubine Xun flicked her sleeves and walked out. Concubine Mei looked at Princess Xun's figure, becoming more and more suspicious.
"Side concubine?"
Concubine Mei withdrew her gaze and asked, "Have you notified Young Madam?"
"It is estimated that we will be back within an hour." Nanny Lu said.
Concubine Mei nodded. Concubine Mei couldn't bear such a big responsibility for Xiyuan being burned, she must catch the murderer behind the scenes.
Xun Wang held a piece of half-burnt tile in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, his brows were furrowed, it was really strange that the tile had a faint smell of asphalt, as asphalt catches fire when it is exposed to fire. The arson was intentional.
"Reporting to your lord, apart from Zhufengzhai, most of the tiles in Xiyuan are covered with asphalt and surrounded by surrounding areas. If the fire is not put out in time, Xiyuan may not be able to survive."
King Xun suddenly darkened his face.
asphalt?
Princess Xun's eyelids twitched, why did she run to the tiles in Xiyuan?
"Check it out! Be sure to check it out! Check it out for me!"
There have been more and more bad things happening in King Xun's mansion recently, and King Xun is so busy that he has been ridiculed a lot in recent days.
King Xun is determined to control Xunwang's mansion well, otherwise, if it goes on like this, sooner or later, King Xun's mansion will be destroyed.
Surrounded by asphalt on all sides, it is a surprise that Xiyuan can be preserved!
Half an hour later, Su Han hurried back and was shocked when he saw Xiyuan's appearance.
Concubine Mei shrank back guiltily, "Young madam, the sky is dry and things are dry, this is an accident."
Su Han sneered, "Accident? Su Han is really lucky. If he left late, he might be a ghost. How can he stand here and talk to the side concubine?"
Concubine Mei choked, and Su Han really didn't show any emotion when he spoke, he didn't know how to strike up a conversation.
Huazhu and Qingshu rushed into the small storeroom and came out after a while.
"Young Madam, half of the east house was burned down, and those belongings were also gone. There is also a wing room behind the small firewood house on the west side, and a small half of the dowry is lost!"
Huazhu's voice was very loud, and one sentence attracted many people to stop.
Concubine Xun frowned. The east room in Xiyuan is the small warehouse. Why did the dowry go to the wing room?
King Xun rushed over upon hearing the sound, "What's going on?"
Su Han raised his chin stubbornly, "Father, the mansion was not only on fire last night, but also burglars broke in, and half of the daughter-in-law's dowry was lost. Father, please investigate thoroughly."
"It's unreasonable!" Xun Wang became more and more irritable, "Check! You must check carefully!"
After Su Han figured out the cause and effect on the spot, he turned to Qingshu and ordered, "Go and check, the asphalt shop, how many have been sold in the past half a year, and who they sold to. The more detailed the better."
"Yes!"
Su Han was very thoughtful in doing things, and grasped the key points at once.
Concubine Mei turned her eyeballs slightly, and she thought about it, and said to King Xun, "My lord, the second young lady's dowry is lost, why don't you ask the second lady to make a list, whether it is burnt or lost, list them all, if someone Selling it privately, or taking it out, this person must have something to do with this matter."
When Concubine Xun heard this, she clenched her hands slightly, and glared at Concubine Mei angrily.
"Side concubine, do you want the palace to be a laughing stock in the capital?" Princess Xun said coldly.
Concubine Mei looked back with an innocent look on her face, "The fire in the palace will definitely spread throughout the entire capital today. What does Wangfei mean to make our palace swallow it?"
Concubine Mei doesn't take Princess Xun seriously now, so Princess Xun can't say a word, her face turns red.
"Just follow the concubine's orders! Once they appear, they will be severely punished!" King Xun is not afraid of losing face, and King Xun's mansion has not lost face once or twice.
Su Han was also very cooperative. After leading someone to check the dowry, he made a list directly.
King Xun took the list, "This king will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
"Thank you, Father." Su Han whispered.
Just at this time, Ji Wuyou, Minister of the Ministry of War, led people in. He was dressed in black clothes that had not changed for thousands of years, and he was handsome and handsome as always. Looking around, King Xun was a little embarrassed. He was not familiar with Ji Wuyou, so he was a little curious.
"Why is Lord Ji here?"
Ji Wuyou glanced at King Xun, and smiled faintly, "My lord was patrolling last night, and found a shadowy figure sneaking around. I sent people to follow me all the way, and I don't know if I can help King Xun after I found these."
Ji Wuyou raised his hand, and soon a guard took out the jewelry from the wooden barrels one by one, a total of forty wooden barrels.
"Ah, isn't that the young lady's pearl hairpin?"
Hua Zhu pointed at the pearl hairpin in the barrel in surprise, and when Hua Zhu said this, King Xun's face turned dark.
Ji Wuyou smiled, "This girl has good eyesight. Unfortunately, my lord arrested these people on the spot. Since it is His Royal Highness Xun Wang's family matter, it is naturally up to you to solve it."
Concubine Xun's complexion changed drastically, and she looked at Nanny Fang, who was also very surprised, how could it be so unfortunate.
King Xun is not a fool, he immediately understood Ji Wuyou's subtext, and cupped his hands, "Master Ji, I thank you in advance for this kindness."
Ji Wuyou waved his hand, and directly asked someone to bring up the captives. There were more than thirty people, all tied up and kneeling aside, covering their faces and dejectedly.
Princess Xun's eyelids twitched violently, for some reason she always felt like she had stepped into a trap.
"Master Ji, the king will definitely pay a visit in person in another day."
Since he was dealing with housework, it was inconvenient for Ji Wuyou to be present.
Ji Wuyou smiled, "Waiting for His Royal Highness King Xun, it just so happens that my lord has important matters to attend to, so let's take a step first."
After King Xun personally sent Ji Wuyou away, ink dripped from his face.
"Come here, all of them will be imprisoned." King Xun planned to interrogate himself, and he was really ashamed. Needless to say, these people must be the guards of Prince Xun's mansion, or belong to a certain master.
"Father, my daughter-in-law also wants to listen in. Who is so bold to openly set fire to murder?"
Su Han has a determined face, he will never let this matter go!
Side Concubine Mei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Sima Zhaozhi's heart was known to everyone, and this matter must have something to do with Concubine Xun.
With so many people in the way, King Xun couldn't refute, so he nodded.
"Take off the veil!"
After a while, a servant took off the veils of these people, revealing their faces, all of which were unfamiliar faces, but the badges on their bodies were those of King Xun's Mansion.
"Fight first, [-] sticks per person! Let's move on."
King Xun beckoned for the guards and said bluntly, "Check! Together with your family and everyone around you, find out one by one. If you don't confess, you will all be beaten to death!"
King Xun was furious and determined to rectify King Xun's mansion.
After a while, in the yard, there was a constant sound of crackling boards. Some people couldn't help but howl, and some clenched their teeth tightly and refused to let go.
Concubine Xun didn't dare to speak, her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, she tightly clenched Nanny Fang's hand, her nails dug into her flesh, Nanny Fang gritted her teeth in pain and dared not cry out.
Gradually, a few weak ones died and were dragged away, and the timid servant girl fainted from fright.
Su Han stood up straight, glanced at Princess Xun with pale lips from the corner of his eyes, and pulled his lips.
About half a stick of incense time, these guards all found out their identities.
The guards are all numbered, and there are more than 300 guards in the entire Xun Palace, so it is not difficult to find out.
Princess Xun's face turned pale immediately.
After a while, all the family members of several guards were invited, and the face of the guard who was beaten changed slightly, and his gaze followed Princess Xun.
"Princess, what are these people looking at you for?"
Concubine Mei pretended to be surprised, following the line of sight, everyone's eyes turned to Princess Xun, and Princess Xun's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't talk nonsense, what does it have to do with my concubine?"
King Xun pursed his lips, his eyes filled with coldness and doubt.
"My lord, let me move!"
"My lord, let me move!"
After a while, many guards shouted.
Nanny Fang gritted her teeth, pushed Princess Xun away, fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowed several times, and soon her forehead was bruised.
"My lord, it's the old slave. It's all the old slave's order. The princess doesn't know it. The old slave really can't understand the second young lady bullying the princess again and again. The princess has worked hard for so many years. There is hard work even if there is no credit. The second young lady As soon as the madam came, she plotted against the princess everywhere, not to mention taking all her savings, and making the princess unable to hold her head up, so the old slave felt resentful and wanted to seek justice for the princess."
Nanny Fang stood up and shouldered all the responsibilities. Princess Xun looked surprised and sad, and pointed at Nanny Fang.
"You, confused!"
Su Han raised her lips, and Nanny Fang was really sincere.
King Xun stepped forward and kicked Nanny Fang in the heart. Nanny Fang couldn't dodge in time, and spat out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"You foolish slave, you are so courageous, you dare to commit murder and set fire!"
"My lord!" As soon as Concubine Xun yelled, King Xun cast a sharp look over him, cold to the bone, Concubine Xun moved his lips and swallowed the words of pleading.
"Come here, drag this slave down..."
King Xun abandoned his car to protect the handsome man. If he wanted to protect Princess Xun, he had to see if he agreed or not!
"Wait a minute! Father, I have some doubts." Su Han looked at King Xun, who pursed his lips and let go of his feet.
Su Han stepped forward, "Nurse Fang, I don't understand. Since you hate me, why did you steal so much dowry? Wouldn't it be better to just burn it all? You blame me, so what do you do with this asphalt?" It was shipped in? Manpower and material resources, and a lot of money, I’m afraid it’s a little difficult for you to be a slave alone?”
King Xun was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Han with a hidden warning, Su Han stepped forward without any fear, and said without evasion or dodge.
"If a servant has the ability to deceive the world like this, will the King Xun's Mansion still be safe in the future?"
King Xun narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
Su Han curled his lips into a smile, "Su Han was almost buried in the sea of flames, and he must give an explanation. If the father finds it difficult, how about handing him over to Su Han?"
Su Han directly ignored King Xun's warning. If she backed down, this matter would definitely end. King Xun obviously intended to favor Princess Xun.
Nanny Fang choked, and argued forcefully, "This old servant is the most powerful nanny next to the princess. She has served the princess for more than [-] years, who is disrespectful? Isn't it difficult to send a few guards, young lady, don't try to force the crime on the princess. Well, the concubine didn't know about this matter, it was all the old slave's idea."
Nanny Fang was desperate, and after saying these words, she was facing a dead end. Princess Xun quickly calmed down, and looked up at Su Han.
"Second daughter-in-law, even though I'm not your direct mother-in-law, I don't expect you to respect me, but after all, I'm still your elder. What's the intention of slandering this concubine again and again?"
Su Han smiled contemptuously, was too lazy to talk to Concubine Xun, and turned to King Xun with a determined expression on her face, as if she would enter the palace to argue if King Xun was unfair.
King Xun was annoyed by Su Han's stubbornness, and he didn't know how to measure it.
Concubine Mei looked dumbfounded. It was the first time she saw Su Han so domineering that even King Xun didn't pay attention to her, but she was happy in her heart. Princess Xun was determined this time. Han confessed well, absolutely not to offend easily.
Concubine Xun became anxious, "My lord, the second daughter-in-law is too ignorant just because of her status. Although Nanny Fang was the mastermind of this matter, she never thought of killing her. She was just angry and wanted to teach her a lesson. If you are really dissatisfied, this concubine accepts punishment, you can do whatever you want!"
King Xun was so quarreled that his brain was going to explode. Su Han smiled sarcastically, and said quickly, "First, there is the fragrance of no son, and then the dowry. I have only been married for more than a month, so how can I have the ability to predict in advance? Princess, what do you think?" Isn't it? Father, this wind cannot last long."
"You!" King Xun choked, at this moment, Su Han deliberately brought up Wuzixiang to tell King Xun that her vengeful nature was simply too arrogant.
Concubine Xun dared to let her smell the fragrance of Wuzi, and she dared to directly destroy the two ladies. Concubine Xun almost burned her to death today, but she dared to set fire to the entire palace tomorrow.
King Xun understood what Su Han meant, and he was furious, so he couldn't do anything about Su Han.
Concubine Xun saw that King Xun was angry with Su Han, and her tone softened, "Second wife, what do you think? As long as you calm down, I can do whatever I want."
Su Han didn't speak, but only stared at King Xun. King Xun was silent. Su Ting should be back in five days. With such a big backer, he might still be crowned king and general. Su Han had a lot of capital and arrogance, but It's too arrogant and I don't know how to restrain myself.
With such a daughter-in-law, King Xun had a headache, he could not scold her, and she was a soft-tempered person who refused to suffer.
"Princess, since you maintain your innocence, why don't you hand over the person to me? How about fooling the children with your erroneous rhetoric? Nanny Fang, I remember that you also have sons and daughters. If you tell half a lie, I will immediately ask someone to arrest you." These two are sold, can you guarantee it?"
"Presumptuous!" Xun Wang immediately changed his face, "Are you suspecting that this king is unfair?"
Su Han was silent, as a tacit consent, Xun Wang was so angry that he almost jumped.
Concubine Mei didn't dare to speak, and neither side dared to offend, she stood silently by the side, surprised by Su Han's domineering over and over again.
It was the first time that King Xun was deprived of popularity by a junior other than Qi Yao, and he hated Su Han to the extreme.
Su Han was not afraid, just waited quietly, insisting on an explanation.
Mother Fang was startled by Su Han's words, her pair of children was her weakness, she was so angry with Su Han that her teeth were itchy, and she was afraid of being offended if she couldn't control Su Han's attitude for a while. Then the loss outweighs the gain.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little stalemate.
"My lord, the emperor summoned me!"
The abrupt voice seemed harsh, but it brought everyone back to their senses.
King Xun closed his eyes slightly, "Come here, suppress Nanny Fang and the guards, watch them, and don't judge yourself, or the whole family will be sold out! Take care of the princess, and don't allow anyone to visit."
Concubine Xun took a step back, a look of despair flashed in her eyes, she looked at Su Han with utter viciousness.
Su Han pursed her lips, and watched King Xun leave with the guards from a distance.
"Are you satisfied? You are so cruel, did you set the fire yourself?"
Concubine Xun was confused by anger, calmed down, and immediately understood, what kind of asphalt and guards, even Ji Wuyou had already arranged it, it was the first time that Concubine Xun had the idea of admitting defeat, after so many years, However, she fell into the hands of a 15-year-old woman, and Princess Xun was really unwilling.
Su Han approached Princess Xun, and said softly with only two voices, "Princess, if you don't defeat me, why would you give up? If you are inferior to others, you will be punished."
"you!"
Su Han raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Come here, prepare your horse and go home!"
Concubine Xun was surprised by Su Han. Since when, she and Su Han have been fighting.
"Stop!" Qi Tingyin broke free from her mother-in-law's shackles with a fierce look on her face, and ran all the way to stop Su Han.
"You bastard, isn't it enough to kill my mother and concubine? I want you to let her go immediately, or I want you to look good!"
"Sister Ting!" Princess Xun called, "Go back quickly!"
Qi Tingyin is not Su Han's opponent at all, Princess Xun keeps giving Su Han winks, Qi Tingyin is angry, how can she see it.
Su Han curled up her lips and smiled ironically, "Fifth Sister, after studying the rules for so many days, why do you still have no brains at all?"
"You!" Qi Tingyin became furious, and raised her hand to slap Su Han.
Su Han smiled, grabbed Qi Tingyin's wrist, squeezed it tightly, and slapped Qi Tingyin's delicate face with her backhand without mercy.
"Snapped!"
Qi Tingyin was stunned, and she didn't get over it for a long time. She covered her lips in disbelief, and she was so angry that she was still in front of so many people.
"Bitch, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you today!"
Qi Tingyin's brain became hot, and she went crazy regardless of her care. Seeing this, Huazhu subdued Qi Tingyin to prevent her from hurting Su Han.
"Presumptuous, you cheap slave, let me go, I will kill you!"
Su Han took a step back, and cast a cold sidelong glance at Concubine Mei. A trace of anger flashed across Concubine Mei's face. Before Su Han could speak, she slapped Qi Tingyin twice, making a crackling noise.
"It's all dead people, why don't you bring Miss Fifth to me, be careful and sell everything to you when you go back."
Concubine Mei didn't dare to offend Su Han, Qi Tingyin is a stubborn rock at this day, no matter how much she can teach, she was a little caring before, but after this time, Concubine Mei dared not indulge anymore and showed mercy.
After being slapped twice overnight, Qi Tingyin immediately went crazy, waving desperately, cursing uncleanly.
"Mother and concubine, look quickly, these sluts have gone against the sky one by one, don't touch me, the concubine of Xun Wangfu in the bedroom, you sluts, let me go, woo woo."
The courageous woman directly found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Qi Tingyin's mouth, so as not to listen to her calling.
Concubine Xun was angry and furious, "Mei Concubine, what are you doing? What are you fussing about with a child? This concubine is not dead yet."
Concubine Mei squinted at Concubine Xun, and smiled, "Since the lord ordered me to discipline Miss Fifth, how dare you refuse to do so, the concubine should take care of herself."
Concubine Xun was exhausted, and no one took her seriously.
"Second sister-in-law, do you really want to be so unfeeling?" Qi Yanyin who rushed over after hearing the news immediately rushed over after getting the news. She was not at the house last night, so she was shocked and angry.
Su Han stood on the steps, glanced back at Qi Yanyin, and curled his lips, "You should ask Miss Six about this, did you ever think of a little affection?"
Qi Yanyin clenched her fists tightly, of course she knew that Su Han meant something, and she was referring to Wu Zixiang.
When mentioning the fragrance of childlessness, Qi Yanyin's eyes suddenly dimmed. She has no children in this life, it is all thanks to Su Han, and it is more due to Princess Xun's partiality. Qi Yanyin does not have no hatred for Princess Xun in her heart.
Qi Yanyin knew that it would be useless to say more, Su Han was not kind at all.
As soon as Su Han turned around, he took the people and left, leaving Concubine Mei alone to clean up the mess. This fire completely burned half of the savings of Prince Xun's Mansion.
As soon as Su Han returned to the mansion, Ling looked her up and down. Seeing that she was fine, she was relieved. When she thought of Princess Xun's inferior methods, she became angry.
"If you don't have that diamond, don't do porcelain work. It's a shame. I didn't expect Princess Xun to become so despicable after decades of absence. I'm so mad."
Ling's family is very temperamental, Su Han smiled and wrapped her arm around Ling's, and told everything that happened in the palace today.
Su Sanye frowned after hearing this, "You should restrain your temper, King Xun is also your elder..."
Su Sanye was interrupted by Ling before he finished speaking, and said displeasedly, "If you hold on to it tomorrow, you won't be able to see Sister Han, bah bah! Look at me, I'm so confused by you, you still pick soft persimmons Damn, Sister Han got married and made a lot of mistakes, if you don’t teach me a lesson, you should be even more savage, Sister Han, mother supports you.”
Third Master Su sighed silently and touched his nose. He did not deny that what Ling said was unreasonable, and his daughter, Third Master Su, did not want to be wronged either.
Su Sanye was speechless by Ling's training, and sat down to drink tea without saying a word. Su Han raised his lips, "Father, your daughter has kept your words in mind, and if people don't recruit me, I don't bother to care about it. I won't tolerate it."
Third Master Su nodded and smiled gratifiedly, "It's natural, we don't do things that make compromises, King Xun is just a fool, he refuses to let go of something smelly and stinky, like a treasure, the backyard is smoky, it's better Me, hehe."
Third Master Su looked proud, Su Han couldn't help smiling, even the corners of Huazhu's mouth couldn't help twitching, Ling Shi cast an angry look at Third Master Su.
After a while, Ling snorted coldly, "After such a big event, the position of the princess should be vacated."
Third Master Su nodded, "Even if the Emperor doesn't mention it, the Empress Dowager can't tolerate Princess Xun anymore. It's just that Princess Minshu has just entered the palace, so it's a bit troublesome to get involved."
Ling frowned. She was no stranger to Princess Minshu. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down again. The bitterness in her mouth became deeper and deeper. My favorite Lu'an Guapian, but it has lost its flavor.
"Is it possible that the princess will stay in Beijing forever?"
Third Master Su nodded, "I won't leave for the time being, the Princess Mansion gave me everything, but..."
Third Master Su thought for a while and swallowed it back. In the middle of speaking, Ling Shi was a little annoyed, and asked, "But what?"
"Ji Wuyou has already confirmed that he will be in charge of delivering the sound, and he will not be able to return until at least two months after leaving. The post of minister of the Ministry of War is temporarily vacant, and the princess intends to let the son-in-law take over temporarily."
Su Han frowned. Princess Minshu really dared to think that Emperor Jinglong was jealous of princesses. How could he easily give her such an important position as Minister of War?
"The emperor will not agree." Su Han suddenly said this.
"Why?" Third Master Su was slightly surprised, Su Han said so firmly.
"The emperor has always been on guard against the princess. The princess will definitely not be able to hide everything from the emperor. When the princess returns to Beijing this time, there is no telling what the emperor will do."
These are all Qi Yao told her, if Emperor Jinglong wants to promote a person, it may not be a good thing, he surprises him, arranges carefully, and then wins him down in one fell swoop.
Third Master Su nodded, "My son is really smart, and he is also a bold guess as a father. According to what you said, who is the most suitable?"
Su Han glanced at Ling's, curled his lips with a smile, "Of course the eldest brother is the most suitable."
Third Master Su glanced at Su Han appreciatively, "You're right, but it's only for two months, the eldest princess is too impatient."
No one can shake Ji Wuyou's position. The reason why Emperor Jing Long is pressing on Xiangyin and holding on to Ji Wuyou is that he is waiting for Su Ting to return. One of them must be stationed in the capital. Su Ting is the most suitable person. Now, to pacify the Southwest, and return from meritorious service, no one dares to have an opinion.
Besides, Su Ting was stationed outside the capital with his elite soldiers. Emperor Jing Long was taking precautions against this move.
Ling frowned, "I finally came back and rested for two days, hey, this child."
Although Ling complained on her lips, she was very proud and gratified in her heart.
"Mother, don't worry. When the eldest brother comes back and gets married, someone will help you relieve some pressure."
When the news came in the evening, as expected, the Empress Dowager Yi decreed that Concubine Xun was abolished from the position of Concubine Xun and concubine, and was demoted to a noble concubine, and she was given a foster nun only to be sent to Aunt Fan's side.
Wutong Court
Fan Wanyan was stunned after hearing Yi's decree, and she was in a daze for a long time without losing her mind.
"Aunt Fan, accept the decree." Eunuch Gu held the bright yellow Yi decree in his hand.
Aunt Fan, who was called more than 20 years ago, came back all of a sudden. Aunt Fan hated her deeply, a sense of shame welled up, and she gritted her teeth to accept the order.
"The concubine accepts the order."
Eunuch Gu raised his eyes and looked at the Indus Courtyard, "Come on, take away the phoenix crown of the princess and the imperial costumes one by one."
"Yes!"
Aunt Fan watched as all the clothes and jewelry that symbolized the rank of the princess were taken away, and the phoenix hairpin on her head was also mercilessly pulled out.
When Qi Yanyin heard the news, her hands trembled, and the word "Ninda Nuoda" on the white paper was only half-finished, and it was rendered in thick ink, ruining the good words like this.
After a long time, he picked up a piece of paper again, and re-wrote the word, with a stroke of force, so strong that it almost soaked the paper.
Aunt Fan was demoted, Qi Tingyin, Qi Yanyin, and Qi Xuan were lowly concubines.
When Concubine Mei got the news, she was so happy that she was going crazy, the noble concubine, Fan Wanyan also has today!
"Concubine Concubine, congratulations, Hexi, I'm finally coming to the fore." Nanny Lu also followed to congratulate Xi. Outside the room, Qi Tingyin started to go crazy again, chasing the little maid who sent the message and just beat her up.
Concubine Mei's face sank, she raised her chin and winked at Nanny Lu, Nanny Lu understood, and walked out, letting a few maids grab Qi Tingyin, holding a ruler in her hand, without any hesitation He greeted Qi Tingyin enthusiastically.
When Concubine Mei listened to it, she thought it was very pleasing to the ear, as if drinking a bowl of thoroughly cold sour plum soup in the dog days, it was very refreshing.
"Hurry up, get someone to repair the Xiyuan side as soon as possible, and come to Xiyuan first."
Concubine Mei cheered up, and beckoned in exchange for the servant girl to give orders.
"Yes, the servant will go here."
Unlike Concubine Mei's bright mood, the eldest princess was immersed in the rain.
Mrs. Chuan Yingbo never expected that Princess Xun would be abolished. In this way, wouldn't Qi Xuan become a bastard?
Princess Minshu was in a very complicated mood, she couldn't figure out Emperor Jinglong's thoughts, the son-in-law came back these days, and she didn't even arrange a position, only Chuan Yingbo arranged an idle position.
Princess Minshu is not sure about the position of minister of the Ministry of War. It would be best if she can win it, but now it seems that it may be a little difficult.
"Grandmother, my granddaughter thinks that the emperor seems to be waiting for someone. The battle in the northwest is tight, but the emperor is not in a hurry. He just keeps arresting her. It should have started long ago."
After Wei Concubine's words fell, Princess Minshu's doubts were suddenly resolved, wait for someone?
Isn't it Su Ting waiting for someone?Or Qi Yunchen?Or is it Meng Qianxu?
The three of them will be back soon, Princess Minsook is lost in thought.
"Who do you think it will be?" Princess Minshu asked casually.
"My granddaughter guesses that it's General Su." Wei Yu explained, "It's not appropriate to entrust anyone with the post of secretary of the Ministry of War. Only General Su holds the military power."
It was the Su family again, Princess Minshu helped her forehead, why she has been confused with the Su family recently.
Wei Concubine lowered her head halfway, demure, gentle and cautious, smart and quick-witted. Princess Minshu suddenly had an idea.
"If you choose a son-in-law among these three, how should you choose?"
Wei Concubine was stunned for a moment, the question was a bit straightforward, and he hesitated for a while, "Naturally, General Su is the most suitable. He has prestige in the army, and he will not be bad in the future. The Ling family lost a general, and the emperor of the Su family He must not be dismissed easily, but will be reused to appease the morale of the army."
"The second is Lianjun Prince's son, the granddaughter is rash."
Wei Jin lowered her head and whispered.
Princess Minshu waved her hand, "What you said is not wrong, but you can't limit yourself to what's in front of you, don't rush, take your time."
Wei Jin nodded, "Yes."
On the other side, Wei Yi became the joke of the entire princess mansion, and suddenly changed from a concubine's daughter-in-law to a concubine's daughter-in-law. A majestic princess can only marry one concubine, which is enough for the people below to laugh at.
Wei Yi clenched his fists tightly, pretending not to hear, but as soon as he appeared, the people below hurriedly shut up, not daring to offend Wei Yi, after all, Mrs. Chuan Yingbo was there.
After Wei Yi left, the lowly people began to whisper, "Why are you pretending to be noble, grandma doesn't want to see her anymore, and the second sister is grandma's treasure."
Wei Yi just pretended that he couldn't hear, and walked faster and faster. When he got back to the house, he smashed the whole room to pieces in anger.
Why should she suffer all these rags, marry a bastard, and be ridiculed all the time?
Ever since he came to the capital, nothing went well. Wei Yi fell out of favor in front of Princess Minshu, and these servants also bowed down and began to flatter Wei Concubine.
When Princess Minshu heard that Wei Yi had smashed many objects, she smiled faintly, "After all, I can't hold back."
From the moment Wei Yi chose Qi Xuan, Princess Minshu was ready to give up on her.
The next day, Wei Yi was summoned by Empress Dowager Qi.
"Good boy, I have wronged you." Empress Dowager Qi patted Wei Yi's hand, a flash of guilt flashed in her eyes, Wei Yi bit her lip and shook her head.
"Yi'er doesn't feel bitter, the Queen Mother doesn't have to blame herself, and Yi'er doesn't blame anyone."
After Wei Yi's words fell, Empress Dowager Qi pitied Wei Yi more and more. Wei Yi's sweet and cute mouth made Empress Dowager Qi smile happily.
Wei Yi made up his mind to please the queen mother, even if there is no Princess Minshu, she will not be afraid!
Empress Dowager Qi would summon Wei Yi every now and then, and the rewards were constant. Taking advantage of her pleasure, she privately gave Wei Yi a fief as a dowry, which seemed a bit affectionate.
Princess Minshu frowned when she heard the words, and called Wei Yi to have dinner with her that night. Wei Yi curled his lips, and his attitude didn't change at all. It seems that he has been reborn these days, and he has become smarter. Without the arrogance of the past.
"Granddaughter met grandmother." Wei Yi squatted with his head half down, as charming and gorgeous as usual.
"Get up quickly, old grandma doesn't need to be too polite here." Princess Minshu lovingly raised her hand in the air.
"Thank you, grandma." Wei Yi was polite enough, quickly glanced at Wei Concubine behind Princess Minshu, and quickly looked away.
Wei Jin frowned calmly.
Princess Minshu seems to have fallen in love with the eldest lady again, and she wants Wei Yi to accompany her for dinner every night, this attitude is unpredictable.
Princess Minshu asked calmly, "How is the Empress Dowager recently?"
Wei Yi nodded, "The empress dowager is feeling a little unwell, but it's not a serious problem. The emperor will come to visit her every day."
Princess Minshu frowned and raised her eyebrows, "Then you can pay attention to the news about the mansion? Your grandfather has been at home all the time, what does the queen mother say?"
Wei Yi thought for a while, "No."
Princess Minshu was a little disappointed, she waved her hand, "Go down."
"Princess?" Aunt Qin was a little puzzled.
Princess Minshu shook her head, "This child is too childish, even if he has something, he won't talk about it. This means that he has blamed me and has his own little thoughts."
"Princess, the princess just didn't want to open it for a while. The princess mansion is the princess's biggest backer. The empress dowager's love is illusory. How long can it last?"
Aunt Qin didn't understand Wei Yi's thoughts, Princess Minshu smiled and said, "If she is half as transparent as you, I won't be disappointed and abandon her."
(End of this chapter)
It wasn't until early in the morning that the wind gradually stopped and the fire was extinguished. There was a burnt smell everywhere in Xun Wang's mansion.
King Xun's gloomy eyes looked at Concubine Mei a little bit unkindly, Concubine Mei was agitated and quickly reacted.
"Speak, and give me an explanation."
Concubine Mei raised her head and glanced at Concubine Xun, she felt something was wrong, "My lord, I was the first to come here when I heard that Zhufengzhai was on fire last night, but the wind was too strong, so I couldn't save it in time, the cause of the fire is under investigation."
Zhufengzhai has not been inhabited for a long time, how could it catch fire suddenly, and it happens to be next to Xiyuan, and whenever it comes into contact with Xiyuan, Concubine Mei unconsciously thinks of Concubine Xun.
"My lord, this concubine thought this incident was a bit strange. Zhufengzhai has been idle for so many years, how could it suddenly catch fire? As soon as the second young lady left yesterday morning, something happened to Xiyuan. How can I explain it when I come back?"
Concubine Mei's words made King Xun ponder, and unconsciously looked at Princess Xun, who gritted her teeth and glared at Concubine Mei angrily.
"Princess, I feel that the sky is dry and things are dry. Many of the servants accidentally touched the candlestick, or burned the oil lamp." As soon as Princess Xun finished speaking, she coughed violently while covering her lips. Mother Fang hurried forward and stroked her back, "Princess , you are not in good health yet, and you have exhausted your physical strength and have no time to take care of your son's marriage these days."
Nanny Fang murmured unintentionally, King Xun looked away, Qi Xuan's wedding was imminent, Princess Xun should not be so reckless, and King Xun knew how much Princess Xun cared about Qi Xuan.
Just watching Xiyuan burn more than half, King Xun felt a little headache.
"Investigate! Be sure to investigate strictly!" King Xun said in a deep voice.
As the sky gradually brightened, King Xun rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and stood in the courtyard walking up and down, full of anger.
Concubine Mei didn't dare to provoke her, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, she kept staring at Princess Xun, who had a frank face, showing no flaws.
After a while, a guard came in and whispered something in King Xun's ear, and King Xun's expression changed drastically.
"go!"
King Xun strode towards the outer courtyard, and Princess Xun and Concubine Mei followed with puzzled faces.
"Sister, it's not about you, is it?" Concubine Mei raised her eyes and stared at Concubine Xun. The side concubine should keep her mouth shut, it's disrespectful to wantonly speculate on this concubine!"
Concubine Xun flicked her sleeves and walked out. Concubine Mei looked at Princess Xun's figure, becoming more and more suspicious.
"Side concubine?"
Concubine Mei withdrew her gaze and asked, "Have you notified Young Madam?"
"It is estimated that we will be back within an hour." Nanny Lu said.
Concubine Mei nodded. Concubine Mei couldn't bear such a big responsibility for Xiyuan being burned, she must catch the murderer behind the scenes.
Xun Wang held a piece of half-burnt tile in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, his brows were furrowed, it was really strange that the tile had a faint smell of asphalt, as asphalt catches fire when it is exposed to fire. The arson was intentional.
"Reporting to your lord, apart from Zhufengzhai, most of the tiles in Xiyuan are covered with asphalt and surrounded by surrounding areas. If the fire is not put out in time, Xiyuan may not be able to survive."
King Xun suddenly darkened his face.
asphalt?
Princess Xun's eyelids twitched, why did she run to the tiles in Xiyuan?
"Check it out! Be sure to check it out! Check it out for me!"
There have been more and more bad things happening in King Xun's mansion recently, and King Xun is so busy that he has been ridiculed a lot in recent days.
King Xun is determined to control Xunwang's mansion well, otherwise, if it goes on like this, sooner or later, King Xun's mansion will be destroyed.
Surrounded by asphalt on all sides, it is a surprise that Xiyuan can be preserved!
Half an hour later, Su Han hurried back and was shocked when he saw Xiyuan's appearance.
Concubine Mei shrank back guiltily, "Young madam, the sky is dry and things are dry, this is an accident."
Su Han sneered, "Accident? Su Han is really lucky. If he left late, he might be a ghost. How can he stand here and talk to the side concubine?"
Concubine Mei choked, and Su Han really didn't show any emotion when he spoke, he didn't know how to strike up a conversation.
Huazhu and Qingshu rushed into the small storeroom and came out after a while.
"Young Madam, half of the east house was burned down, and those belongings were also gone. There is also a wing room behind the small firewood house on the west side, and a small half of the dowry is lost!"
Huazhu's voice was very loud, and one sentence attracted many people to stop.
Concubine Xun frowned. The east room in Xiyuan is the small warehouse. Why did the dowry go to the wing room?
King Xun rushed over upon hearing the sound, "What's going on?"
Su Han raised his chin stubbornly, "Father, the mansion was not only on fire last night, but also burglars broke in, and half of the daughter-in-law's dowry was lost. Father, please investigate thoroughly."
"It's unreasonable!" Xun Wang became more and more irritable, "Check! You must check carefully!"
After Su Han figured out the cause and effect on the spot, he turned to Qingshu and ordered, "Go and check, the asphalt shop, how many have been sold in the past half a year, and who they sold to. The more detailed the better."
"Yes!"
Su Han was very thoughtful in doing things, and grasped the key points at once.
Concubine Mei turned her eyeballs slightly, and she thought about it, and said to King Xun, "My lord, the second young lady's dowry is lost, why don't you ask the second lady to make a list, whether it is burnt or lost, list them all, if someone Selling it privately, or taking it out, this person must have something to do with this matter."
When Concubine Xun heard this, she clenched her hands slightly, and glared at Concubine Mei angrily.
"Side concubine, do you want the palace to be a laughing stock in the capital?" Princess Xun said coldly.
Concubine Mei looked back with an innocent look on her face, "The fire in the palace will definitely spread throughout the entire capital today. What does Wangfei mean to make our palace swallow it?"
Concubine Mei doesn't take Princess Xun seriously now, so Princess Xun can't say a word, her face turns red.
"Just follow the concubine's orders! Once they appear, they will be severely punished!" King Xun is not afraid of losing face, and King Xun's mansion has not lost face once or twice.
Su Han was also very cooperative. After leading someone to check the dowry, he made a list directly.
King Xun took the list, "This king will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
"Thank you, Father." Su Han whispered.
Just at this time, Ji Wuyou, Minister of the Ministry of War, led people in. He was dressed in black clothes that had not changed for thousands of years, and he was handsome and handsome as always. Looking around, King Xun was a little embarrassed. He was not familiar with Ji Wuyou, so he was a little curious.
"Why is Lord Ji here?"
Ji Wuyou glanced at King Xun, and smiled faintly, "My lord was patrolling last night, and found a shadowy figure sneaking around. I sent people to follow me all the way, and I don't know if I can help King Xun after I found these."
Ji Wuyou raised his hand, and soon a guard took out the jewelry from the wooden barrels one by one, a total of forty wooden barrels.
"Ah, isn't that the young lady's pearl hairpin?"
Hua Zhu pointed at the pearl hairpin in the barrel in surprise, and when Hua Zhu said this, King Xun's face turned dark.
Ji Wuyou smiled, "This girl has good eyesight. Unfortunately, my lord arrested these people on the spot. Since it is His Royal Highness Xun Wang's family matter, it is naturally up to you to solve it."
Concubine Xun's complexion changed drastically, and she looked at Nanny Fang, who was also very surprised, how could it be so unfortunate.
King Xun is not a fool, he immediately understood Ji Wuyou's subtext, and cupped his hands, "Master Ji, I thank you in advance for this kindness."
Ji Wuyou waved his hand, and directly asked someone to bring up the captives. There were more than thirty people, all tied up and kneeling aside, covering their faces and dejectedly.
Princess Xun's eyelids twitched violently, for some reason she always felt like she had stepped into a trap.
"Master Ji, the king will definitely pay a visit in person in another day."
Since he was dealing with housework, it was inconvenient for Ji Wuyou to be present.
Ji Wuyou smiled, "Waiting for His Royal Highness King Xun, it just so happens that my lord has important matters to attend to, so let's take a step first."
After King Xun personally sent Ji Wuyou away, ink dripped from his face.
"Come here, all of them will be imprisoned." King Xun planned to interrogate himself, and he was really ashamed. Needless to say, these people must be the guards of Prince Xun's mansion, or belong to a certain master.
"Father, my daughter-in-law also wants to listen in. Who is so bold to openly set fire to murder?"
Su Han has a determined face, he will never let this matter go!
Side Concubine Mei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Sima Zhaozhi's heart was known to everyone, and this matter must have something to do with Concubine Xun.
With so many people in the way, King Xun couldn't refute, so he nodded.
"Take off the veil!"
After a while, a servant took off the veils of these people, revealing their faces, all of which were unfamiliar faces, but the badges on their bodies were those of King Xun's Mansion.
"Fight first, [-] sticks per person! Let's move on."
King Xun beckoned for the guards and said bluntly, "Check! Together with your family and everyone around you, find out one by one. If you don't confess, you will all be beaten to death!"
King Xun was furious and determined to rectify King Xun's mansion.
After a while, in the yard, there was a constant sound of crackling boards. Some people couldn't help but howl, and some clenched their teeth tightly and refused to let go.
Concubine Xun didn't dare to speak, her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, she tightly clenched Nanny Fang's hand, her nails dug into her flesh, Nanny Fang gritted her teeth in pain and dared not cry out.
Gradually, a few weak ones died and were dragged away, and the timid servant girl fainted from fright.
Su Han stood up straight, glanced at Princess Xun with pale lips from the corner of his eyes, and pulled his lips.
About half a stick of incense time, these guards all found out their identities.
The guards are all numbered, and there are more than 300 guards in the entire Xun Palace, so it is not difficult to find out.
Princess Xun's face turned pale immediately.
After a while, all the family members of several guards were invited, and the face of the guard who was beaten changed slightly, and his gaze followed Princess Xun.
"Princess, what are these people looking at you for?"
Concubine Mei pretended to be surprised, following the line of sight, everyone's eyes turned to Princess Xun, and Princess Xun's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't talk nonsense, what does it have to do with my concubine?"
King Xun pursed his lips, his eyes filled with coldness and doubt.
"My lord, let me move!"
"My lord, let me move!"
After a while, many guards shouted.
Nanny Fang gritted her teeth, pushed Princess Xun away, fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowed several times, and soon her forehead was bruised.
"My lord, it's the old slave. It's all the old slave's order. The princess doesn't know it. The old slave really can't understand the second young lady bullying the princess again and again. The princess has worked hard for so many years. There is hard work even if there is no credit. The second young lady As soon as the madam came, she plotted against the princess everywhere, not to mention taking all her savings, and making the princess unable to hold her head up, so the old slave felt resentful and wanted to seek justice for the princess."
Nanny Fang stood up and shouldered all the responsibilities. Princess Xun looked surprised and sad, and pointed at Nanny Fang.
"You, confused!"
Su Han raised her lips, and Nanny Fang was really sincere.
King Xun stepped forward and kicked Nanny Fang in the heart. Nanny Fang couldn't dodge in time, and spat out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"You foolish slave, you are so courageous, you dare to commit murder and set fire!"
"My lord!" As soon as Concubine Xun yelled, King Xun cast a sharp look over him, cold to the bone, Concubine Xun moved his lips and swallowed the words of pleading.
"Come here, drag this slave down..."
King Xun abandoned his car to protect the handsome man. If he wanted to protect Princess Xun, he had to see if he agreed or not!
"Wait a minute! Father, I have some doubts." Su Han looked at King Xun, who pursed his lips and let go of his feet.
Su Han stepped forward, "Nurse Fang, I don't understand. Since you hate me, why did you steal so much dowry? Wouldn't it be better to just burn it all? You blame me, so what do you do with this asphalt?" It was shipped in? Manpower and material resources, and a lot of money, I’m afraid it’s a little difficult for you to be a slave alone?”
King Xun was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Han with a hidden warning, Su Han stepped forward without any fear, and said without evasion or dodge.
"If a servant has the ability to deceive the world like this, will the King Xun's Mansion still be safe in the future?"
King Xun narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
Su Han curled his lips into a smile, "Su Han was almost buried in the sea of flames, and he must give an explanation. If the father finds it difficult, how about handing him over to Su Han?"
Su Han directly ignored King Xun's warning. If she backed down, this matter would definitely end. King Xun obviously intended to favor Princess Xun.
Nanny Fang choked, and argued forcefully, "This old servant is the most powerful nanny next to the princess. She has served the princess for more than [-] years, who is disrespectful? Isn't it difficult to send a few guards, young lady, don't try to force the crime on the princess. Well, the concubine didn't know about this matter, it was all the old slave's idea."
Nanny Fang was desperate, and after saying these words, she was facing a dead end. Princess Xun quickly calmed down, and looked up at Su Han.
"Second daughter-in-law, even though I'm not your direct mother-in-law, I don't expect you to respect me, but after all, I'm still your elder. What's the intention of slandering this concubine again and again?"
Su Han smiled contemptuously, was too lazy to talk to Concubine Xun, and turned to King Xun with a determined expression on her face, as if she would enter the palace to argue if King Xun was unfair.
King Xun was annoyed by Su Han's stubbornness, and he didn't know how to measure it.
Concubine Mei looked dumbfounded. It was the first time she saw Su Han so domineering that even King Xun didn't pay attention to her, but she was happy in her heart. Princess Xun was determined this time. Han confessed well, absolutely not to offend easily.
Concubine Xun became anxious, "My lord, the second daughter-in-law is too ignorant just because of her status. Although Nanny Fang was the mastermind of this matter, she never thought of killing her. She was just angry and wanted to teach her a lesson. If you are really dissatisfied, this concubine accepts punishment, you can do whatever you want!"
King Xun was so quarreled that his brain was going to explode. Su Han smiled sarcastically, and said quickly, "First, there is the fragrance of no son, and then the dowry. I have only been married for more than a month, so how can I have the ability to predict in advance? Princess, what do you think?" Isn't it? Father, this wind cannot last long."
"You!" King Xun choked, at this moment, Su Han deliberately brought up Wuzixiang to tell King Xun that her vengeful nature was simply too arrogant.
Concubine Xun dared to let her smell the fragrance of Wuzi, and she dared to directly destroy the two ladies. Concubine Xun almost burned her to death today, but she dared to set fire to the entire palace tomorrow.
King Xun understood what Su Han meant, and he was furious, so he couldn't do anything about Su Han.
Concubine Xun saw that King Xun was angry with Su Han, and her tone softened, "Second wife, what do you think? As long as you calm down, I can do whatever I want."
Su Han didn't speak, but only stared at King Xun. King Xun was silent. Su Ting should be back in five days. With such a big backer, he might still be crowned king and general. Su Han had a lot of capital and arrogance, but It's too arrogant and I don't know how to restrain myself.
With such a daughter-in-law, King Xun had a headache, he could not scold her, and she was a soft-tempered person who refused to suffer.
"Princess, since you maintain your innocence, why don't you hand over the person to me? How about fooling the children with your erroneous rhetoric? Nanny Fang, I remember that you also have sons and daughters. If you tell half a lie, I will immediately ask someone to arrest you." These two are sold, can you guarantee it?"
"Presumptuous!" Xun Wang immediately changed his face, "Are you suspecting that this king is unfair?"
Su Han was silent, as a tacit consent, Xun Wang was so angry that he almost jumped.
Concubine Mei didn't dare to speak, and neither side dared to offend, she stood silently by the side, surprised by Su Han's domineering over and over again.
It was the first time that King Xun was deprived of popularity by a junior other than Qi Yao, and he hated Su Han to the extreme.
Su Han was not afraid, just waited quietly, insisting on an explanation.
Mother Fang was startled by Su Han's words, her pair of children was her weakness, she was so angry with Su Han that her teeth were itchy, and she was afraid of being offended if she couldn't control Su Han's attitude for a while. Then the loss outweighs the gain.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little stalemate.
"My lord, the emperor summoned me!"
The abrupt voice seemed harsh, but it brought everyone back to their senses.
King Xun closed his eyes slightly, "Come here, suppress Nanny Fang and the guards, watch them, and don't judge yourself, or the whole family will be sold out! Take care of the princess, and don't allow anyone to visit."
Concubine Xun took a step back, a look of despair flashed in her eyes, she looked at Su Han with utter viciousness.
Su Han pursed her lips, and watched King Xun leave with the guards from a distance.
"Are you satisfied? You are so cruel, did you set the fire yourself?"
Concubine Xun was confused by anger, calmed down, and immediately understood, what kind of asphalt and guards, even Ji Wuyou had already arranged it, it was the first time that Concubine Xun had the idea of admitting defeat, after so many years, However, she fell into the hands of a 15-year-old woman, and Princess Xun was really unwilling.
Su Han approached Princess Xun, and said softly with only two voices, "Princess, if you don't defeat me, why would you give up? If you are inferior to others, you will be punished."
"you!"
Su Han raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Come here, prepare your horse and go home!"
Concubine Xun was surprised by Su Han. Since when, she and Su Han have been fighting.
"Stop!" Qi Tingyin broke free from her mother-in-law's shackles with a fierce look on her face, and ran all the way to stop Su Han.
"You bastard, isn't it enough to kill my mother and concubine? I want you to let her go immediately, or I want you to look good!"
"Sister Ting!" Princess Xun called, "Go back quickly!"
Qi Tingyin is not Su Han's opponent at all, Princess Xun keeps giving Su Han winks, Qi Tingyin is angry, how can she see it.
Su Han curled up her lips and smiled ironically, "Fifth Sister, after studying the rules for so many days, why do you still have no brains at all?"
"You!" Qi Tingyin became furious, and raised her hand to slap Su Han.
Su Han smiled, grabbed Qi Tingyin's wrist, squeezed it tightly, and slapped Qi Tingyin's delicate face with her backhand without mercy.
"Snapped!"
Qi Tingyin was stunned, and she didn't get over it for a long time. She covered her lips in disbelief, and she was so angry that she was still in front of so many people.
"Bitch, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you today!"
Qi Tingyin's brain became hot, and she went crazy regardless of her care. Seeing this, Huazhu subdued Qi Tingyin to prevent her from hurting Su Han.
"Presumptuous, you cheap slave, let me go, I will kill you!"
Su Han took a step back, and cast a cold sidelong glance at Concubine Mei. A trace of anger flashed across Concubine Mei's face. Before Su Han could speak, she slapped Qi Tingyin twice, making a crackling noise.
"It's all dead people, why don't you bring Miss Fifth to me, be careful and sell everything to you when you go back."
Concubine Mei didn't dare to offend Su Han, Qi Tingyin is a stubborn rock at this day, no matter how much she can teach, she was a little caring before, but after this time, Concubine Mei dared not indulge anymore and showed mercy.
After being slapped twice overnight, Qi Tingyin immediately went crazy, waving desperately, cursing uncleanly.
"Mother and concubine, look quickly, these sluts have gone against the sky one by one, don't touch me, the concubine of Xun Wangfu in the bedroom, you sluts, let me go, woo woo."
The courageous woman directly found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Qi Tingyin's mouth, so as not to listen to her calling.
Concubine Xun was angry and furious, "Mei Concubine, what are you doing? What are you fussing about with a child? This concubine is not dead yet."
Concubine Mei squinted at Concubine Xun, and smiled, "Since the lord ordered me to discipline Miss Fifth, how dare you refuse to do so, the concubine should take care of herself."
Concubine Xun was exhausted, and no one took her seriously.
"Second sister-in-law, do you really want to be so unfeeling?" Qi Yanyin who rushed over after hearing the news immediately rushed over after getting the news. She was not at the house last night, so she was shocked and angry.
Su Han stood on the steps, glanced back at Qi Yanyin, and curled his lips, "You should ask Miss Six about this, did you ever think of a little affection?"
Qi Yanyin clenched her fists tightly, of course she knew that Su Han meant something, and she was referring to Wu Zixiang.
When mentioning the fragrance of childlessness, Qi Yanyin's eyes suddenly dimmed. She has no children in this life, it is all thanks to Su Han, and it is more due to Princess Xun's partiality. Qi Yanyin does not have no hatred for Princess Xun in her heart.
Qi Yanyin knew that it would be useless to say more, Su Han was not kind at all.
As soon as Su Han turned around, he took the people and left, leaving Concubine Mei alone to clean up the mess. This fire completely burned half of the savings of Prince Xun's Mansion.
As soon as Su Han returned to the mansion, Ling looked her up and down. Seeing that she was fine, she was relieved. When she thought of Princess Xun's inferior methods, she became angry.
"If you don't have that diamond, don't do porcelain work. It's a shame. I didn't expect Princess Xun to become so despicable after decades of absence. I'm so mad."
Ling's family is very temperamental, Su Han smiled and wrapped her arm around Ling's, and told everything that happened in the palace today.
Su Sanye frowned after hearing this, "You should restrain your temper, King Xun is also your elder..."
Su Sanye was interrupted by Ling before he finished speaking, and said displeasedly, "If you hold on to it tomorrow, you won't be able to see Sister Han, bah bah! Look at me, I'm so confused by you, you still pick soft persimmons Damn, Sister Han got married and made a lot of mistakes, if you don’t teach me a lesson, you should be even more savage, Sister Han, mother supports you.”
Third Master Su sighed silently and touched his nose. He did not deny that what Ling said was unreasonable, and his daughter, Third Master Su, did not want to be wronged either.
Su Sanye was speechless by Ling's training, and sat down to drink tea without saying a word. Su Han raised his lips, "Father, your daughter has kept your words in mind, and if people don't recruit me, I don't bother to care about it. I won't tolerate it."
Third Master Su nodded and smiled gratifiedly, "It's natural, we don't do things that make compromises, King Xun is just a fool, he refuses to let go of something smelly and stinky, like a treasure, the backyard is smoky, it's better Me, hehe."
Third Master Su looked proud, Su Han couldn't help smiling, even the corners of Huazhu's mouth couldn't help twitching, Ling Shi cast an angry look at Third Master Su.
After a while, Ling snorted coldly, "After such a big event, the position of the princess should be vacated."
Third Master Su nodded, "Even if the Emperor doesn't mention it, the Empress Dowager can't tolerate Princess Xun anymore. It's just that Princess Minshu has just entered the palace, so it's a bit troublesome to get involved."
Ling frowned. She was no stranger to Princess Minshu. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down again. The bitterness in her mouth became deeper and deeper. My favorite Lu'an Guapian, but it has lost its flavor.
"Is it possible that the princess will stay in Beijing forever?"
Third Master Su nodded, "I won't leave for the time being, the Princess Mansion gave me everything, but..."
Third Master Su thought for a while and swallowed it back. In the middle of speaking, Ling Shi was a little annoyed, and asked, "But what?"
"Ji Wuyou has already confirmed that he will be in charge of delivering the sound, and he will not be able to return until at least two months after leaving. The post of minister of the Ministry of War is temporarily vacant, and the princess intends to let the son-in-law take over temporarily."
Su Han frowned. Princess Minshu really dared to think that Emperor Jinglong was jealous of princesses. How could he easily give her such an important position as Minister of War?
"The emperor will not agree." Su Han suddenly said this.
"Why?" Third Master Su was slightly surprised, Su Han said so firmly.
"The emperor has always been on guard against the princess. The princess will definitely not be able to hide everything from the emperor. When the princess returns to Beijing this time, there is no telling what the emperor will do."
These are all Qi Yao told her, if Emperor Jinglong wants to promote a person, it may not be a good thing, he surprises him, arranges carefully, and then wins him down in one fell swoop.
Third Master Su nodded, "My son is really smart, and he is also a bold guess as a father. According to what you said, who is the most suitable?"
Su Han glanced at Ling's, curled his lips with a smile, "Of course the eldest brother is the most suitable."
Third Master Su glanced at Su Han appreciatively, "You're right, but it's only for two months, the eldest princess is too impatient."
No one can shake Ji Wuyou's position. The reason why Emperor Jing Long is pressing on Xiangyin and holding on to Ji Wuyou is that he is waiting for Su Ting to return. One of them must be stationed in the capital. Su Ting is the most suitable person. Now, to pacify the Southwest, and return from meritorious service, no one dares to have an opinion.
Besides, Su Ting was stationed outside the capital with his elite soldiers. Emperor Jing Long was taking precautions against this move.
Ling frowned, "I finally came back and rested for two days, hey, this child."
Although Ling complained on her lips, she was very proud and gratified in her heart.
"Mother, don't worry. When the eldest brother comes back and gets married, someone will help you relieve some pressure."
When the news came in the evening, as expected, the Empress Dowager Yi decreed that Concubine Xun was abolished from the position of Concubine Xun and concubine, and was demoted to a noble concubine, and she was given a foster nun only to be sent to Aunt Fan's side.
Wutong Court
Fan Wanyan was stunned after hearing Yi's decree, and she was in a daze for a long time without losing her mind.
"Aunt Fan, accept the decree." Eunuch Gu held the bright yellow Yi decree in his hand.
Aunt Fan, who was called more than 20 years ago, came back all of a sudden. Aunt Fan hated her deeply, a sense of shame welled up, and she gritted her teeth to accept the order.
"The concubine accepts the order."
Eunuch Gu raised his eyes and looked at the Indus Courtyard, "Come on, take away the phoenix crown of the princess and the imperial costumes one by one."
"Yes!"
Aunt Fan watched as all the clothes and jewelry that symbolized the rank of the princess were taken away, and the phoenix hairpin on her head was also mercilessly pulled out.
When Qi Yanyin heard the news, her hands trembled, and the word "Ninda Nuoda" on the white paper was only half-finished, and it was rendered in thick ink, ruining the good words like this.
After a long time, he picked up a piece of paper again, and re-wrote the word, with a stroke of force, so strong that it almost soaked the paper.
Aunt Fan was demoted, Qi Tingyin, Qi Yanyin, and Qi Xuan were lowly concubines.
When Concubine Mei got the news, she was so happy that she was going crazy, the noble concubine, Fan Wanyan also has today!
"Concubine Concubine, congratulations, Hexi, I'm finally coming to the fore." Nanny Lu also followed to congratulate Xi. Outside the room, Qi Tingyin started to go crazy again, chasing the little maid who sent the message and just beat her up.
Concubine Mei's face sank, she raised her chin and winked at Nanny Lu, Nanny Lu understood, and walked out, letting a few maids grab Qi Tingyin, holding a ruler in her hand, without any hesitation He greeted Qi Tingyin enthusiastically.
When Concubine Mei listened to it, she thought it was very pleasing to the ear, as if drinking a bowl of thoroughly cold sour plum soup in the dog days, it was very refreshing.
"Hurry up, get someone to repair the Xiyuan side as soon as possible, and come to Xiyuan first."
Concubine Mei cheered up, and beckoned in exchange for the servant girl to give orders.
"Yes, the servant will go here."
Unlike Concubine Mei's bright mood, the eldest princess was immersed in the rain.
Mrs. Chuan Yingbo never expected that Princess Xun would be abolished. In this way, wouldn't Qi Xuan become a bastard?
Princess Minshu was in a very complicated mood, she couldn't figure out Emperor Jinglong's thoughts, the son-in-law came back these days, and she didn't even arrange a position, only Chuan Yingbo arranged an idle position.
Princess Minshu is not sure about the position of minister of the Ministry of War. It would be best if she can win it, but now it seems that it may be a little difficult.
"Grandmother, my granddaughter thinks that the emperor seems to be waiting for someone. The battle in the northwest is tight, but the emperor is not in a hurry. He just keeps arresting her. It should have started long ago."
After Wei Concubine's words fell, Princess Minshu's doubts were suddenly resolved, wait for someone?
Isn't it Su Ting waiting for someone?Or Qi Yunchen?Or is it Meng Qianxu?
The three of them will be back soon, Princess Minsook is lost in thought.
"Who do you think it will be?" Princess Minshu asked casually.
"My granddaughter guesses that it's General Su." Wei Yu explained, "It's not appropriate to entrust anyone with the post of secretary of the Ministry of War. Only General Su holds the military power."
It was the Su family again, Princess Minshu helped her forehead, why she has been confused with the Su family recently.
Wei Concubine lowered her head halfway, demure, gentle and cautious, smart and quick-witted. Princess Minshu suddenly had an idea.
"If you choose a son-in-law among these three, how should you choose?"
Wei Concubine was stunned for a moment, the question was a bit straightforward, and he hesitated for a while, "Naturally, General Su is the most suitable. He has prestige in the army, and he will not be bad in the future. The Ling family lost a general, and the emperor of the Su family He must not be dismissed easily, but will be reused to appease the morale of the army."
"The second is Lianjun Prince's son, the granddaughter is rash."
Wei Jin lowered her head and whispered.
Princess Minshu waved her hand, "What you said is not wrong, but you can't limit yourself to what's in front of you, don't rush, take your time."
Wei Jin nodded, "Yes."
On the other side, Wei Yi became the joke of the entire princess mansion, and suddenly changed from a concubine's daughter-in-law to a concubine's daughter-in-law. A majestic princess can only marry one concubine, which is enough for the people below to laugh at.
Wei Yi clenched his fists tightly, pretending not to hear, but as soon as he appeared, the people below hurriedly shut up, not daring to offend Wei Yi, after all, Mrs. Chuan Yingbo was there.
After Wei Yi left, the lowly people began to whisper, "Why are you pretending to be noble, grandma doesn't want to see her anymore, and the second sister is grandma's treasure."
Wei Yi just pretended that he couldn't hear, and walked faster and faster. When he got back to the house, he smashed the whole room to pieces in anger.
Why should she suffer all these rags, marry a bastard, and be ridiculed all the time?
Ever since he came to the capital, nothing went well. Wei Yi fell out of favor in front of Princess Minshu, and these servants also bowed down and began to flatter Wei Concubine.
When Princess Minshu heard that Wei Yi had smashed many objects, she smiled faintly, "After all, I can't hold back."
From the moment Wei Yi chose Qi Xuan, Princess Minshu was ready to give up on her.
The next day, Wei Yi was summoned by Empress Dowager Qi.
"Good boy, I have wronged you." Empress Dowager Qi patted Wei Yi's hand, a flash of guilt flashed in her eyes, Wei Yi bit her lip and shook her head.
"Yi'er doesn't feel bitter, the Queen Mother doesn't have to blame herself, and Yi'er doesn't blame anyone."
After Wei Yi's words fell, Empress Dowager Qi pitied Wei Yi more and more. Wei Yi's sweet and cute mouth made Empress Dowager Qi smile happily.
Wei Yi made up his mind to please the queen mother, even if there is no Princess Minshu, she will not be afraid!
Empress Dowager Qi would summon Wei Yi every now and then, and the rewards were constant. Taking advantage of her pleasure, she privately gave Wei Yi a fief as a dowry, which seemed a bit affectionate.
Princess Minshu frowned when she heard the words, and called Wei Yi to have dinner with her that night. Wei Yi curled his lips, and his attitude didn't change at all. It seems that he has been reborn these days, and he has become smarter. Without the arrogance of the past.
"Granddaughter met grandmother." Wei Yi squatted with his head half down, as charming and gorgeous as usual.
"Get up quickly, old grandma doesn't need to be too polite here." Princess Minshu lovingly raised her hand in the air.
"Thank you, grandma." Wei Yi was polite enough, quickly glanced at Wei Concubine behind Princess Minshu, and quickly looked away.
Wei Jin frowned calmly.
Princess Minshu seems to have fallen in love with the eldest lady again, and she wants Wei Yi to accompany her for dinner every night, this attitude is unpredictable.
Princess Minshu asked calmly, "How is the Empress Dowager recently?"
Wei Yi nodded, "The empress dowager is feeling a little unwell, but it's not a serious problem. The emperor will come to visit her every day."
Princess Minshu frowned and raised her eyebrows, "Then you can pay attention to the news about the mansion? Your grandfather has been at home all the time, what does the queen mother say?"
Wei Yi thought for a while, "No."
Princess Minshu was a little disappointed, she waved her hand, "Go down."
"Princess?" Aunt Qin was a little puzzled.
Princess Minshu shook her head, "This child is too childish, even if he has something, he won't talk about it. This means that he has blamed me and has his own little thoughts."
"Princess, the princess just didn't want to open it for a while. The princess mansion is the princess's biggest backer. The empress dowager's love is illusory. How long can it last?"
Aunt Qin didn't understand Wei Yi's thoughts, Princess Minshu smiled and said, "If she is half as transparent as you, I won't be disappointed and abandon her."
