Xu Kexin's expression changed drastically.

Last night she arrived at the imperial garden with the prince, the family banquet had not yet begun, the prince said that there was something and left, she was not familiar with the few people present, a palace maid suddenly came over and said that the concubine had something to do with her, and she didn't think much about it and went with the palace maid.

When she noticed something was wrong, she had already arrived outside the Mingde Palace, and a eunuch handed her a food box and left, looking at her meaningfully before leaving.

Could it be that the eunuch ......

It's a pity that she was too nervous and scared at the time, so she didn't see the eunuch's face clearly, and because of her inner struggle, she didn't enter the palace at all.

"That's the prince's father, this concubine, I can't do it!"

"Can't do it?" The man in black snorted coldly, and then said casually: "King Rui didn't return to the house, did he?" ”

Xu Kexin stared at the man in black in astonishment: "How do you know the Dao?" ”

"Because at this moment, King Rui and Mu Qingyun are eating and drinking in the council room, and it's just the two of them." I have to say that the man in black grabbed Xu Kexin's weakness.

"No, it can't be! Concubine Ben doesn't believe it! Xu Kexin shook her head desperately: The housekeeper just said that the prince was busy with political affairs, how could he be with the ninth princess?

"I've seen it with my own eyes, believe it or not!" The man in black said with sympathy: "It's a pity that you are alone in the empty room here, but the two of them are in love with each other, if they are drunk...... Do you really want to watch them live and live together? Do you really have to wait until King Rui kicks you out of the palace before you regret it? Do you really want you and Xu Fu to become a joke that everyone despises? You must know that Mu Qingyun is the emperor's favorite daughter, once she and King Rui have a husband and wife, with King Rui's affection and care for her, there is no place for you in this palace! ”

Xu Kexin's face turned pale, and she couldn't stop trembling: "No, it won't!" The prince and the ninth princess are not like that! ”

"You're stupid! King Rui has always been in love with Mu Qingyun, the reason why he married you is simply to prevent Mu Qingyun from marrying someone else, this time he ignored your newlywed Yan'er to go to Nanyang County to follow Mu Qingyun, and Mu Qingyun is very kind to King Rui, plus he is drunk, it is difficult to guarantee that the fire will not be on fire, do you say? ”

This is the case, Xu Kexin is speechless.

"But don't worry, I've arranged for someone to stop them this time, but next time ......"

Xu Kexin clenched her teeth, her face as white as paper was covered with desolation and sadness.

Looking at Xu Kexin like this, a trace of mockery and gloom crossed the eyes of the man in black: "In a few days, it will be the Spring Festival, according to the custom, King Rui will take you into the palace for a reunion dinner, that is the best opportunity, and it is also your last chance, if you can't make up your mind by then, just wait to become an abandoned woman!" In addition, after King Chun ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, I will no longer guarantee that you, King Rui, and your family will be well-founded! Hello for yourself! ”

After saying that, the man in black disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The cold wind blew, and Xu Kexin, who felt cold and piercing, burst into tears, as if a pear blossom had just bloomed and was bullied by wind and frost.

I have long known that the prince of Lu Dao only has nine princesses in his heart, right?

But she still felt heartache, the pain like the vastness of the world, but without the loneliness and despair of her place.

As the New Year approached, every household put up lights, and Concubine Yu also ordered someone to arrange the palace, and the whole capital was shrouded in joy.

Qingyun, who handed over the affairs of the harem to Concubine Yu, sat quietly on the soft couch, holding a cup of tea, and the rising heat faintly revealed her misty and dignified look.

The prime minister and the others have not moved for the time being, and there is no trace of the left and right protectors of the Absolute Dust Palace, and there is still a month for the concubine to expire and it will be full, I don't know what kind of wind and waves will rise at that time?

What worries her even more is that she sent a message to Zhilan through Qiu He, who was arranged by Bingying to go to Zhilan's side several times, and Zhilan politely refused for various reasons, although she heard that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion did not snub Zhilan, but she was still not at ease.

Mu Xue lay quietly on the ground next to her, squinting slightly, but listening to the movements around her vigilantly.

At this time, the "master" walked to Qingyun's side month by month: "There are several girls missing in Beijing one after another!" ”

Qingyun's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened: "Can you find out what's going on?" ”

Zhuyue immediately whispered a few words in her ear, and Qingyun's face became more and more solemn, and there was a cold air between her frowning brows.

The next day, without waiting for the courtiers to routinely report various matters, Qingyun said to Emperor Huiwen: "Father, the son has found a piece of feng shui treasure land around the royal mausoleum, and plans to build a mausoleum for the son's ancestors. ”

The tone is affirmative, not deliberative.

Seeing Qingyun's meaningful gaze, Emperor Huiwen couldn't help but think about something, and just about to say something, Xu Yushi had already walked out of the queue and objected: "Emperor Qi, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

"Why not?" Qingyun looked at Xu Yushi with clear eyes, while Emperor Huiwen pursed his lips and said nothing.

"The Ninth Princess is not the orthodox royal family, how can her ancestor Xianci be buried in the royal mausoleum? Once the emperor agreed, it not only disturbed the tranquility of the royal ancestors, but also disgraced the emperor's Mingde Renzheng. Please think twice! ”

All the ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please think twice, the emperor!" ”

Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun quietly glanced at each other, seeing the doubts in each other's eyes, the ninth princess became more and more unfathomable, and they became more and more incomprehensible.

Raising his eyes and looking at Qingyun with a cold face, no matter how deep the Prime Minister's scheming is, he can't guess what the Ninth Princess's intention is?

"Presumptuous!" Qingyun's eyebrows contained perseverance and indifference: "Although this palace is not orthodox, it has done its best for the Jin Kingdom, and now it is just a little filial piety for the children of the people, and it is just a mausoleum for the first parents, besides, the palace only says that it is built around the cemetery, not in the cemetery, and it is hateful that you interfere so wantonly!" Come on, drag Xu Yushi out of the gang and hit the fifty boards! Whoever pleads for mercy will be held responsible! ”

Immediately came in, and the two guards in front of the palace dragged Xu Yushi out.

"This is a big rebellion, please think twice!" Xu Yushi turned his head frequently, and his voice was righteous.

It's a pity that Emperor Huiwen never said a word.

Hearing the sound of sticks hitting the flesh outside the hall, coupled with the silence of the emperor, everyone was frightened and suspicious, but no one stepped forward to intercede.

Su Zihan walked to the middle and knelt on the ground: "Begin to play the emperor, the ninth princess ......"

"Does Lord Su want to intercede for Lord Xu?" Qingyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's not." Su Zihan's voice was calm and unwavering, and his words were clear and clear: "Since ancient times, the official is not guilty, Lord Xu has just fulfilled his duty as an imperial historian, what is the crime?" The nine princesses have worked hard for the country, and the subjects are obvious to all, and now the nine princesses are mainly filial piety, which is understandable, but the construction of the mausoleum is not overnight and costs a lot of money, and Nanyang County has just experienced the epidemic and is waiting to be revived, and after the beginning of the year, it is spring ploughing and spring planting, river repair, and the food and salary of the soldiers of the border pass, so the treasury is only afraid that it will be stretched, and please ask the emperor, the nine princesses to think twice! ”

"What does Master Su mean, is the construction of a mausoleum in this palace misleading the country and the people?"

"Wechen is just telling the truth!"

"Good to tell the truth!" The pupils that were as deep as the abyss were bottomless, making people unable to see the contents clearly: "Lord Su accuses this palace of acting arbitrarily and recklessly, can you know that this is a great crime of disrespect?" Passed the decree, deprived of the post of Jing Zhaoyin, Master Su, demoted to the county of Yongping County, Beisha County, and left Beijing on the same day! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Isn't Master Su the celebrity in front of the Ninth Princess? A few days ago, he was rewarded by the emperor, how could he be relegated to Yongping County, a poor and remote country, in a blink of an eye? It is said that the companion is like a tiger, and this companion nine princesses are thousands of times more dangerous than the companion?

Sima Rui's brothers were also shocked: How could Jiu'er be so domineering today?

Su Zihan, who came back to his senses after a short period of shock, saluted respectfully and said, "Weichen Xie Jiu's grace not to kill!" "Back in line.

"Emperor Qi, the ninth princess" The prime minister suddenly said: "There are girls missing in the capital one after another, and Lord Su, as Jing Zhaoyin, should do his best to thoroughly investigate this case......"

Emperor Huiwen's originally calm face suddenly became stern and solemn when he heard this: "Is this really the case?" Why don't you report it sooner? ”

"The old minister also just received a letter from Lord Su, asking the emperor to forgive him." The implication is that all the guilt is Su Zihan's dereliction of duty.

Su Zihan lowered his head slightly to hide the astonishment in his eyes: Obviously, after the disappearance of two girls in a row, he felt that the situation was serious, so he wrote a note and submitted it to the cabinet, but the prime minister said so, his intention was ......

waved his hand at Emperor Huiwen quietly, and raised his eyebrows at the prime minister: "Could it be that the prime minister is old and deaf, didn't he hear that the palace has demoted Su Zihan to the county governor of Yongping County, and left Beijing on the same day?" Su Zihan is not Jing Zhaoyin, so how can he thoroughly investigate this case? ”

"Ninth Princess Rongyu, after all, this matter is very important, since it happened during Lord Su's tenure, it should be thoroughly investigated by Lord Su before it can be completed from beginning to end!"

"What does the prime minister mean is that except for Su Zihan, no one has the ability to thoroughly investigate this matter? Could it be that the ministers of civil and military affairs are all the kings, but they can't share the wine bags and rice bags for the king? ”

"The old minister is terrified!" Feeling the various eyes cast by the courtiers around him, the prime minister's face became more and more respectful, and he seemed to understand the hidden meaning of the Ninth Princess's abnormal behavior today, which was damnful, and let the Ninth Princess take the lead! "The old minister has no such intention, but Master Su already has some evidence, if he takes the liberty of changing people, I am afraid that the opportunity will be delayed."

Emperor Huiwen, Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun reacted instantly: Jiu'er (Ninth Princess) is clearly moving to protect Su Zihan, it seems that this matter is not so simple!

"Now that you have evidence, why can't you solve the case?" Qingyun's raised eyebrows contained depth and majesty: "This palace thinks this is a good opportunity to select outstanding talents!" As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Emperor Huiwen: "Father, the son has an idea, is it feasible for the father to listen to it?" ”

"Jiu'er, but it's okay to say it!"
