Chongxi Concubine of Time Travel

Chapter 55
Shangguan Xueyan settled the matter, turned and left the door, and walked into the palace, but as soon as she turned around, she saw the guard who announced the decree behind her.Shangguan Xueyan looked at the man, he was wearing a simple bodyguard uniform, but he was in good shape.Even though she was a bodyguard, she gave Shangguan Xueyan a sense of nobility.

"Why are you here?" Shouldn't he be drinking in the garden, why did he appear here.

"Subordinate, let's see if there is anything I can do to help, but it seems redundant." The man said with a light smile, saying that he is a subordinate but he is not humble at all.

"This is a matter of my Holy Prince's Mansion, so I won't bother with the guards, besides, this concubine can take care of it." Seeing his smiling face, Shangguan Xueyan felt very intrusive, and she didn't know why.

"My subordinates saw it." The man still stood, but glanced at the door.

"I think His Majesty should be waiting for your reply, and this concubine will not keep you." Shangguan Xueyan directly issued an order to evict the guest.

"It's time to go, but I have something to give to the princess. Before I came down, my majesty asked my subordinate to bring it. He said it was something left by the holy prince and belonged to the princess." He took out a piece of paper from his arms. Only the jade hairpin carved in the shape of a phoenix was handed to Shangguan Xueyan.

Shangguan Xueyan took the jade hairpin and saw that the carving on it was so lifelike that it seemed that it could spread its wings and fly high in the sky, but it seemed that it was not newly carved, it was quite old.I really like it, this is also a good piece of jade, even though I have seen many good things, I like this jade hairpin at the first sight, I can't say why I like it, so I look at it over and over again.

"Understood, you can go." Shangguan Xueyan lowered her head and played with the jade hairpin and gave the order to evict guests again.

"Do you like it?" The guard suddenly asked softly, as if he was afraid that Shangguan Xueyan would say he didn't like it.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Xueyan raised her eyes from the jade hairpin and asked, feeling that she had heard wrongly. Wasn't the jade hairpin left by the dead ghost prince? It has nothing to do with him. Is this sentence appropriate for him to ask?

"It's nothing, the subordinate will go back to the palace first." He turned and left with a smile, his steps were light and slightly arrogant.

Another inexplicable person, Shangguan Xueyan looked at his background and muttered.

"Princess, He Liu brought it here." In the cell of the palace, Shangguan Xueyan was sitting on a chair when someone came in and said.

"Are you He Liu?" Shangguan Xueyan looked at the skinny man with an obscene look in front of her and asked.

"It's a villain." The thin man raised his head and saw a beautiful woman sitting not far from him, his eyes lit up.I don't know if it's because I'm afraid or what, but I've been trembling.

"The 500 taels of gambling debt you owe, Shengwang Mansion has already paid for you, now is the time to talk about how you will repay this debt." His gaze made Shangguan Xueyan very unhappy, so she asked straightforwardly.

"The villain will definitely repay the money." Knowing that the money has been repaid, He Liu didn't tremble anymore.

"No need, you seem to have forgotten what my concubine said. I told you that if anyone discredits the palace, this concubine will not show mercy. You all think that this concubine is joking. Come here, chop off his life With just one hand, he paid back the 500 taels of silver, and then his whole family was driven out of the Shengwang Mansion and distributed to the mine."

It was only later that Shangguan Xueyan found out that there was a mine under the name of the dead prince, but he hadn't mined it all the time, so she was not welcome, and found someone to manage the mining a few years ago.Part of it goes to the national treasury, and part of it belongs to the Shengwang Mansion.These are all done in secret, and not many people know about it. Emperor Xuanyuan Xuanyao is one of them, and he has also benefited from it.

"The princess doesn't want it, the villain will pay back the money, and besides, the villain's family is innocent." He Liu shouted after hearing the treatment of the holy princess.

"My concubine also knows that they were innocently involved, but you brought them that. Besides, the Holy Palace is not short of that money. The reason why this concubine paid you back the money is just to buy peace." Shangguan Xueyan looked Without looking at him, he got up and left.

He Liu's heart-piercing cry came from behind him.

Shangguan Xueyan came out of the dungeon, changed clothes and returned to the banquet venue.

When those people saw Shangguan Xueyan coming back, they didn't dare to ask if they wanted to. Shangguan Xueyan didn't explain anything, so she sat down and had dinner with everyone.

After seeing off the birthday guests in the afternoon, Shangguan Xueyan asked the butler to inform the palace to go up and down the hall.

Shangguan Xueyan sat on a chair covered with a good fox fur and looked at the people below, with a flash of emotion in her eyes, she couldn't catch it quickly.

Looking at Shangguan Xueyan sitting above, the people below were a little nervous. According to previous experience, as long as the princess asked to gather in this hall, something would happen. I don't know what it is this time.Some people are wondering if today is the princess' birthday, will there be a reward.

"Princess, everyone is here." The housekeeper also said a little nervously, thinking about what was going on.

"I called everyone here today, and I have two things to say, one is my concubine's birthday today, and the guests are very satisfied, saying that the etiquette in the palace is good and there are no people with high eyebrows and low eyes, you really did a good job in this point, how about it, Reward each of you with two taels of silver, this is what you deserve." Shangguan Xueyan first said something that was good news for everyone.

"Thank you, Princess." After hearing this, they knelt down and said, two taels are worth two months' money for some people.There are few masters in the house, and there are not many opportunities to get rewards.

"Get up. The second thing is because of an IOU. Some people may know about it. This concubine doesn't go around in circles. He Liu's IOU has been paid back in the mansion. As for He Liu, his hand has been severed and sent to the mine." The scene is over, and his family members also went together. Benfei remembers that she once said that anyone who dares to discredit the palace will be punished severely by this concubine. Why, have you ignored it? This time I just want his hand. It’s cheaper for him, but their family will spend the rest of the day in the mine. Don’t take chances and run amok outside in the name of the Holy King’s Mansion. If this concubine finds out, there will be many ways to punish you. I hope that when the time comes, you will suffer. If you want to disappear without a sound, this concubine has a lot of ways. Concubine Ling, He Liu is the son of your nanny, and she drove her family away without your permission. Don't you have any objections?" Shangguan Xueyan's tone was light and calm, as if she was not the one who wanted someone's hand, and there was no ups and downs when she said it.

But when other people heard what happened to He Liu's family, they were very nervous and afraid, and they all thought that they should be more careful in doing things in the future, don't make mistakes, and don't be caught by the princess, otherwise there will be no good results.
