From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 210 The Cruel Princess
Mentioning the money, he felt restless. Although the national treasury is full now, it is not as difficult as when he took the throne, but he can't use the money in the national treasury to fill this hole.Besides, this is the first time that I have been helping him pay the bills since he was a child, helping him with his aftermath, and helping him wipe his ass and ass.

Sitting down on the chair with a tired face, the emperor said: "Let's put the money aside for now, and we'll talk about it when I ask you clearly. You also take the account book with you. You can go to Chuhuai Palace to find some jewelry on it." .Those are gifts from the imperial court, and the pawnshop would never dare to accept them, they must be in the palace."

Thinking that the things that the Mei family sacrificed their lives in exchange for were very likely to be given to a concubine or a certain woman by King Huai of Chu, the emperor panicked.What a mess, what a bad luck!
After thinking about it, the emperor said again: "Forget it, after you find it, send all the gifts back to the palace, and choose another horse of equal value to reward in my name."

Fearing that the Mei family would be disgusted, he also wanted to use this to show the greatness of the emperor's grace. The emperor thought this method was good.After returning the things, he gained a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone, and killing two birds with one stone.

Although Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't fully understand Mei Xin, it was really disgusting to put himself in her shoes.Especially those things have passed through the hands of Shangguan Xinrou and King Huai of Chu, so she may not even want to return them.Therefore, he immediately said: "The emperor is sage, my minister obeys the order, and my minister resigns!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted again, seeing the emperor waving his hand to signal him to go out, Zongzheng Mingzhen left.

After a while, after the door closed, the emperor looked at Xiao Qichen and said, "How was Mei Xin's attitude last night, do you have any complaints?"

Asking Xiao Qichen to come to ask for someone was meant to be a test. The emperor wanted to see Mei Xin's reaction, and also wanted to see if she really didn't care as she said, and really didn't hold grudges against the prince.

Xiao Qichen knew the emperor's heart very well and didn't dare to hide it, but he didn't mention a single word of what he said to Mei Xin in private.

The emperor was suspicious by nature, when he heard that Mei Xin was very angry at first, but later put forward the condition, he laughed and completely believed it.

In fact, Xiao Qichen deliberately told the truth because he knew that he was suspicious. Otherwise, he would cover up for Mei Xin and say that she was not angry, then the emperor would really be suspicious.Therefore, by saying half and keeping half, half-truths and half-falsely explained the matter to the past.

Very satisfied, the emperor looked at Xiao Qichen and said lightly: "This matter has been hard for you. Your wife should be worried if you haven't returned all night. Go back. I will give you two days off to rest and deal with Mei Zhong before you leave. Just rot in your stomach, don't mention it to anyone again."

Naturally, he dared not say much about the royal scandal, let alone spread it to the outside world, unless he didn't want to live anymore.Xiao Qichen said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, my humble servant will retire!"

Saluting, bowing and exiting, Xiao Qichen quickly left Qianqing Palace.

At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess Qiu Yuwei was holding a pair of dragon and phoenix candles that had not been burned out during her wedding, in a daze.Although her marriage to the prince was bestowed by the emperor, she did so willingly, and when they first got married, the two of them were also in love with each other.

The prince is the first man she admires in her life, the only man she likes, and she pours all her heart into it.But ever since she gave birth to her daughter, the prince has become indifferent to her. The two concubines competed for favor, and then several beauties were brought into the mansion. There was a gap between her and the prince.

As the crown princess, the future mother of a country, she never thought of monopolizing the crown prince.Before she got married, her grandfather also talked about this matter with her, and her mother told her more than once to let her think about it and let her not care.

She thought she could do it, and she wished she wouldn't care, but knowing and reality are two different things.Seeing the women being carried into the mansion one by one, being favored by the prince and offering tea to her, her heart was pierced like a knife.

Slowly she accepted it, adapted to it, and even became numb, but her grandfather suddenly told her that Mei Xin had an affair with the prince and was pregnant.

There was a thunderbolt and a thunderbolt from the blue sky, she couldn't accept it no matter what.Mei Xin's roughness is not as good as the maids around her, and she is not worthy to carry her shoes, so why should she rob her of her husband.The most important thing is that she is her friend, how can she covet her husband.

The prince is the same, who is not good to sleep with, why is it Mei Xin who she has always looked down on the most, and who also made her pregnant.

She hated, she was annoyed, she was angry, and she wrote letters to the prince.One letter after another, one letter after another, but there was no response.

She wanted to ask Mei Xin why, but she didn't see her.Why, why did she refuse, and what qualifications did she have to refuse?
She is the concubine that the prince is marrying, she is the future mother of a country, why should she refuse, why should she not see her.

With anger filling her chest and rushing to her heart, Qiu Yuwei crushed the candle in her hand.The little pieces fell like tears from her eyes.

Nanny Zhou, who was serving her personally, was a little worried, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Madam, the carriage is ready, but do you really want to go? Not to mention that the emperor just ordered General Mei to be the princess of Zhenguo, that is……"

Glaring and angry, she slammed the candle in her hand to the ground, Qiu Yuwei said: "Go, why don't you go, it's because she has no face to see me, and it's not because I have no face to see her. Didn't she always pretend to be noble and not to be with women in the world?" For my sake, I'm going to ask her who the bastard in her belly belongs to."

Slightly narrowing her eyes and sneering, Qiu Yuwei sarcastically said with distorted face and resentment: "Princess Zhen Guo, the emperor has really paid for it, but he doesn't know whether his unsatisfactory son agrees or not."

As deep as love is, so deep is hatred. After Qiu Yuwei knew that Mei Xin was pregnant with the prince's child, all her love turned into hatred.

Mother Zhou didn't know how to respond to these words, she opened her mouth and said: "Yesterday, I heard from the people below that Qin Liangdi vomited twice when she saw the fish and shrimp, I'm afraid she is pregnant."

With a shock in her heart, Qiu Yuwei furrowed her brows deeply, and said with a sinking face, "How dare you stop Bizi Tang privately. Have you asked the imperial physician to see it?"

Since she gave birth to her daughter, she has given every concubine a decoction to avoid children, and she will not allow them to conceive before she gives birth to a son-in-law.

When Nanny Zhou heard this, she knew what she was saying, she shook her head gently and said, "Please, it's probably because the days are still young, or she bribed the imperial doctor, who said it was the vomiting caused by the discomfort of the spleen and stomach. Let her recently It’s time to eat lightly and stay in bed more.”

The meaning is pointed, Zhou Nanny is very sure.

Qiu Yuwei is different from Mei Xin, she is very proficient in the tricks of those women in the back house.Therefore, the order said: "Keep an eye on her, if it is, pour the medicine directly."
