The Evil King's First-Class Concubine

Chapter 25 Good or Bad
"What?" Tang's eyes widened in disbelief. That girl is not dead?
"What's going on? It's so late, where is the distinguished guest?"

"The servants don't know either, the master is in a hurry, madam, go and have a look first!"

Tang couldn't help it, so he got up immediately, dressed up, and hurried to the front hall.Xie Xinqin was unexpectedly relieved when she saw her mother's hurried back.

"She didn't die, luckily..."

At this very moment, in the living room of the Anyihou Mansion, the always serious Xie Anhua was staging a scene of father-daughter love.

"That's great, Yue'er, I thought I'd never see you again! Prince, princess, thank you so much, thank you for saving my daughter!"

Xie Xinyue suppressed the goose bumps on her body, and couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes.She has really seen what it means to be an acting school. Xie Anhua looks like he loves her daughter so much. After all, it's not because the person who sent her back is of extraordinary status.

She was also a little surprised, she didn't expect that rogue man was also a prince, no wonder this cheap old man transformed all of a sudden and became "loving" to her suddenly.Tang shi, who hurried over to the side, also got the news, wiped away tears that didn't exist, and hugged Xie Xinyue in his arms.

"I'm sorry to see you, sister Yue, it's great that you're fine. Mother said that the Buddha will definitely appear, and it's not in vain that your sister and I have prayed all day."

At this time, Tang didn't forget to put gold on her face, and even deliberately involved Xie Xinqin to increase her favorability.It's a pity that Mu Yunshen and Princess Anyang knew the truth of the matter well. Hearing this, Princess Anyang frowned even more.

"You don't have to be polite, Marquis An Yi. We should thank Ling Ai for saving the life of the princess." Mu Yunshen said lightly, with an air of superiority and unapproachability.No matter how flattering Xie Anhua was, the expression on his face was not moved in the slightest.

"Yeah, thanks to Sister Yue's rescue, Anyang will always remember this kindness in his heart. Sister Yue, if you have anything to do in the future, just come to the palace to find me, and I will sweep the couch to welcome you anytime."

Princess Anyang didn't even look at Tang, and took Xie Xinyue's hand affectionately and told her that she wanted to be Xie Xinyue's backer.

The expression on Tang's face was as usual, but she was vomiting to death in her heart. Not only did this dead girl not die, but she even got the princess's attention.If the princess really made up his mind to praise Xie Xinyue, they might not be able to simply put her in the side courtyard of the Hou's mansion without leaving home.

Xie Anhua didn't like it either, he didn't have the slightest affection for this daughter, and he was very jealous of her fate as a catastrophe.Originally thought that her death would make the palace owe a kindness, but now it seems that it can't.Even so, he also began to think about how to get the greatest benefit.

To be honest, Xie Anhua is in the court, and he is very clear about the current situation. Prince Cheng's Mansion really needs to cling to, but it is not now.The matter of the flower viewing feast is of great importance, and the Chengwang Palace is duty-bound. In order to appease everyone, His Majesty must be temporarily neglected.

What he took a fancy to was His Royal Highness Jin Wang, Jin Wang and the crown prince's compatriots, both born of the empress.Among the dozen or so sons of His Majesty the Emperor, the Seventh Prince was the one who loved him the most. He was named King Jin when he was born.

If he can use this to catch the line of King Jin, he doesn't have to worry about the fate of his daughter's disaster star.

"It's getting late, so let's take our leave first. You've been in fear all day, so you should take a good rest." Mu Yun glanced at Xie Xinyue, who was looking tired, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Yes, yes, what His Highness said is very true, and I will give you a ride."

Finally, after sending these two distinguished masters away, Xie Anhua said to Xie Xinyue kindly: "Girl Yue'er, go back and rest first, we will talk about tomorrow if you have anything to do."

"Yes, father, mother, Yue'er is leaving."

She kneaded the handkerchief on Tang's hand into a ball, and seeing Xie Xinyue's disappearing figure, she looked at Xie Anhua softly: "Husband, according to my opinion, the Princess is really grateful to Sister Yue. I will definitely invite her out from time to time. It seems inappropriate to continue to let her live in a remote courtyard, but as a concubine, she is afraid of being tabooed by her mother, you see..."

On the surface, Tang's words were to strive for better conditions for Xie Xinyue, but in fact, they were reminding Xie Anhua that even if Xie Xinyue was valued by the princess again, she would still be a disaster star who could overcome her father and mother and family. Is it good or bad for An Yihou Mansion?

Xie Anhua frowned as expected, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Don't ask her to move out, let's have a look first and then talk!"

"This... well, I will take good care of Sister Yue." Tang nodded her head virtuously, with an indiscernible gleam in her eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, Prince Cheng's Mansion sent someone to deliver a cartload of thank-you gifts, most of which contained some precious medicinal materials, as well as some silk tributes and gold and silver jewelry.In addition, Prince Cheng's mansion also sent a lot of compensation to those families who also lost their children. Prince Cheng's son ran around, and finally calmed down many public grievances.

And the most shocking thing is that above the court, Prince Cheng even wrote a letter to resign his official position to atone for his sins!In desperation, Emperor Xingwen could only agree to Prince Cheng's request, dismissing him from his official position and leaving Fu at home.

This incident has been found out to be the remnants of the Western Regions who committed the crime in order to avenge the subjugation of the country, and all the people from the Western Regions who participated in the assassination have committed suicide, even if they want to investigate thoroughly, it is impossible.

"Father, why do you plead guilty like this? People from the Western Regions have been doing evil on the frontier for hundreds of years, and it is you who put your life away to eradicate this disaster. For the entire Zhou Dynasty, you are a great hero and hero! Why did the people from the Western Regions come here? Revenge must be your crime? Someone must be behind the scenes, why don't you let your son investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Mu Qianfan looked angrily at the calm and indifferent middle-aged man in front of him, his expression was full of resentment.For the Great Zhou Dynasty, his father and king devoted half his life. He almost died on the battlefield and got a whole body of diseases.I hate those courtiers for pressing on every step of the way!
"Okay Qianfan, my father has long wanted to quit the imperial court. This accident is an opportunity. If not, why do you think my father should take the lead? Not only you, but everyone with eyes knows that there must be something behind these people from the Western Regions." He is the mastermind behind the scenes. But even if you thoroughly investigate and find the real culprit, so what? There are only a few people who are so afraid of the strength of the father, and I am afraid that His Majesty is going with the flow, otherwise, how could he let go so easily!"

Prince Cheng is over 40 years old this year, but he doesn't look old at all. He is tall and handsome, and just standing there gives people a kind of hidden domineering.Although he has fallen from the top of power, the expression on his face is still indifferent.

"Father, do you mean that Uncle Huang doesn't want you to continue in the court?" Mu Qianfan was shocked. In his opinion, King Father is Uncle Huang's left arm and right arm. Uncle regards his nephew as if he was his own son.However, at this moment, Mu Qianfan's originally firm belief was somewhat shattered!
"Qianfan, master of great achievements, my father's reputation is so good that it has reached the point where people have to be afraid. No matter which princes' game this time, for such a result, even if His Majesty did not secretly push the flames, he is still happy. See what happens.

That's fine, I have worked hard for my father for most of my life, and I don't want to participate in the battle for the reserve position.In this palace test, you don't need to show your sharpness, and you don't need to be exposed to real power.In the future, we should not get too close to His Royal Highness Prince Jin. We sincerely welcome the Prince's House, it's time to go into hibernation. "

"Father, I understand." After a long time, Mu Qianfan nodded resolutely, showing a bit more mature and steady on his green face.

Mu Han looked at his son with a gentle expression, his expression was full of pride, his son was better than blue, but now was not the time for him to show his talent.

"You and Anyang don't go out during this time, we need to make a gesture to reassure some people. It just so happens that my old problem has happened again, so you all stay at home and take care of me!"

Prince Cheng was pierced through the chest by a sharpshooter from the Western Regions on the battlefield in his early years, and almost died.Although he finally recovered under the rescue of the imperial physician, his heart and lungs were damaged, and he suffered from angina pectoris every year, which was very serious.Now that I have retired from the court, I can take good care of myself.

The low-key behavior of Prince Cheng's mansion made Tang gradually regain his indifference, because since the gift of thanks was sent that day, Prince Cheng's mansion has never been moved.Princess Anyang even stayed behind closed doors, so naturally she didn't see her stand up for Xie Xinyue at all, and even invited her to the palace as a guest.

Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worse, Prince Cheng and His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who had been friends with each other, gradually became estranged. Xie Anhua no longer had the slightest hope for this unlovable eldest daughter, and quickly forgot about her.

Xie Xinyue's life was the same as usual, there was still a servant girl Hongyu serving in the remote small courtyard, and the things sent by Prince Cheng's mansion, the Tang family was not greedy for ink, but sent all of them to the remote courtyard.

"This is the best golden bird's nest, why don't you send it to the kitchen and let the cook make it for you to nourish your body?" Hongyu arrogantly inspected the gifts from Prince Cheng's residence, the greedy look in her eyes was undisguised.The tone seemed to be discussing, but he picked out the bird's nest unceremoniously, which was obviously the rhythm of getting rid of it.

A cold light flashed in Xie Xinyue's eyes, if the flower feast hadn't been delayed, she would have planned to clean up Hongyu long ago.

"You're right, I want to drink bird's nest porridge right now, so hurry up and get it to the kitchen to prepare it and bring it to me, and then I'll organize these things later."

Perhaps because of the recent change in Tang's attitude, Hongyu has also restrained herself a lot from her. Although she was not very willing, she still went out.After Hongyu left, Xie Xinyue took out the medicine powder that she had prepared for a long time from the pillow.

After waiting for about half an hour, Hongyu came over with steaming bird's nest porridge. Xie Xinyue hid the medicinal powder in her nails, poured it in without leaving any traces, and started stirring.Then he smiled and said to Hongyu: "I can't finish such a big cup of bird's nest porridge, why don't you help me eat some so as not to waste it."

As she said that, she pushed the bowl over. Hongyu had long been used to Xie Xinyue's flattering behavior, so she pretended to refuse and happily brought it over to eat.The corners of Xie Xinyue's mouth curled up, it was not in vain for her to show weakness and connivance, Hongyu never even suspected her.
