Chapter 278: She's Dead

"Wanyin, it was really unexpected for such a thing to happen. Now that the two of us have one less daughter, and you have no place to live now, if you don't dislike it, why don't you come to be our righteous daughter? A familiar voice came from her ears, and Mo Wanyin, who had been keeping her head down and silent, immediately raised her head.

When he saw the sincere expression on the face of the prime minister's wife, the tears in the corners of his eyes could no longer be contained, and they all fell down.

"It's a good one to kill two birds with one stone, I'll just say. I said it was good before, but why did it suddenly change the hexagram. I thought she didn't have this plan, so she was waiting in this place. Xiao Liyue, who was standing far away from the crowd, couldn't help but marvel at the cleverness of everything she had done in her heart.

A fire broke out in the Imperial History Mansion, and no normal person would think that this matter would be done by Mo Wanyin. After all, no matter how you say it, in the eyes of outsiders, she is Mo Yanqiu's daughter.

Originally, Mo Wanyin was friendly with Leng Leyin, and since Leng Leyin passed away, she often ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. came and went, and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion also had a good relationship.

Maybe I have already discussed the matter of becoming a righteous girl before, but after such an impact of this incident, the success rate of becoming a righteous girl has greatly increased.

The strategy of successfully becoming the daughter of the prime minister and being able to stay with her biological father without revealing her identity is really high.

"This Mo Wanyin is going back on her word and doing things viciously, don't have too much contact with her in the future." Xiao Chufang looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and Mo Wanyin, who was full of tears, hugged the prime minister's wife, and couldn't help but spit out such words.

Growing up in the palace since I was a child, I don't know how many people I have seen turn against each other, all for profit.

What's more, Mo Wanyin was originally dissatisfied with Xiao Liyue, and the so-called good sisters before were nothing more than excuses.

Xiao Liyue naturally knew these truths, and responded gently, and then the two turned around and left.

In about half a day, the matter of the prime minister's recognition of Mo Wanyin as a righteous daughter spread in the palace, which was also a major event in the palace.

For a long time after that, the emperor sent people to thoroughly investigate what happened to the Imperial History Mansion that day, but there was no leader.

It's no wonder that Xiao Liyue's person who was sent to follow Mo Wanyin came back to deliver the word shortly after that incident.

I learned that the attendants who set fire to the Imperial History Mansion with Mo Wanyin that day had been dug and buried in the flower fields in the back garden, becoming natural fertilizer for the gorgeous flowers.

And Xiao Liyue's side, because of Wang Shuyi and Shen Xingliang, it is impossible to confess this matter at all.

So everything became an unsolved case, and as time went on, it was forgotten by people.

Although Mo Yanqiu can be said to be the emperor's right-hand man when he was the imperial doctor, he was a figure who could be compared with Cheng in the previous dynasty.

But in the face of time, it eventually became a small black dot.

Just when the court was in a state of flux, the front line, which had been maintaining a stalemate, made a breakthrough.

The army led by Xiao Mingqian directly broke through the enemy's camp and achieved unprecedented success, and finally took advantage of the victory to pursue and win a complete victory.

Except for some of the soldiers sent to garrison the frontier who remained in place, Xiao Mingqian hurried back towards the imperial city with the winning team.

By this time, the messenger had already delivered the letter to the emperor.

"Good, good!" The emperor was so happy that he shouted several times.

Putting down the letter paper in his hand, he looked at Xiao Chumad and the others who had been summoned, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being my son, and the border rebellion that has been stalemate for more than twenty years has only taken three months to win a big victory." Mingqian is really the person I fancied. ”

When the words fell, Xiao Chumad on the side immediately changed his face.

Before he could speak, the prime minister, who had already discovered that something was wrong with him, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the four princes have won a complete victory, which is a happy thing for the whole country. Seeing that he was about to return to the court, it was natural to give him a rich reward, so that other soldiers and officials would work even more hard for the court. ”

Xiao Chufang's brows furrowed more and more, and his eyes shot sharply in the direction of the prime minister.

However, the other party still talked to himself as if he hadn't seen it at all.

"Then, according to what the prime minister said, what kind of reward should be given?" The emperor kept nodding his head, obviously extremely satisfied with the contents of today's letter.

The corners of the prime minister's mouth immediately crossed a faint smile: "Your Majesty, these four princes are brave and good at fighting, leading the army to achieve such great achievements, why don't you crown him as a general, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

"Father, this must not be done!" Seeing that the emperor was about to agree, Xiao Chufang bowed directly to the emperor and saluted, "The fourth brother is indeed meritorious, but he is on behalf of his father, the emperor, and what he has to do is to boost morale." What's more, throughout the ages, no prince has ever been named a general. Didn't the prime minister want to increase his own power by making such a request? ”

When the words fell, Xiao Chu looked in the direction of the prime minister with an unkind face, and his eyes were full of oppressive eyes.

The prime minister sneered directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what can these four princes have to do with me becoming generals?" You have to speak with evidence. ”

Faced with the Prime Minister's questioning, Xiao Chufang did not feel any discomfort, but walked closer directly in the direction of the emperor: "Who doesn't know, when my father gave the fourth brother a marriage, what I gave was the marriage between your daughter and the fourth brother." If the fourth brother becomes a general, you, as an in-law, will naturally be able to have some military power. You were originally the prime minister, and if you have too much power in your hands, it is not a good thing for the stability of the imperial court. ”

Listening to the-for-tat argument between the two, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help but yell directly: "Enough!" I did not call you here today to hear you quarrel. ”

The anger came into their ears, and Xiao Chufang and the two immediately stopped arguing, and lowered their heads one after another to listen carefully to the emperor's orders.

"As far as I know, the Prime Minister's daughter died unexpectedly during that cruise, and this marriage is naturally impossible to do. At this time, it is too sad to mention the original marriage, prince, you are too sad. The emperor's eyes were lowered, and there was a faint anger emerging in them.

Xiao Chufang didn't dare to argue more, so he could only bow his head and accept it.

"Your fourth brother was dissatisfied with me before and sent him to the front, and it was a happy event to be able to return as soon as possible after this great victory. I think he was originally like you, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, pampered, and didn't suffer much. Even if he doesn't win the battle this time, as long as he can come back safe and sound, I am ready to give him some reward. What's more, he performed so well, even if it was according to the Prime Minister's proposal, it would not be too much to give him the title of general! ”

Hearing that the emperor's mind had been decided, Xiao Chufang naturally didn't dare to say anything else, and just stood quietly aside.

It wasn't until the emperor's will was completely drawn up and received by Gonggong Yuan that the two slowly left the emperor's bedroom.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Xiao Chumad looked at the prime minister with a pair of cold eyes: "Even if the title of general is given to the fourth brother, this world is still the world of our Xiao family." The prime minister has no bad ideas, so maybe he will be in this position for a longer time. ”

"What are you talking about, prince? The emperor didn't say it just now, Le Yin is dead, and the marriage contract with the four princes will naturally disappear. The fourth prince became a general, what can it have to do with me? The prime minister spread his hands and made a look that he had nothing to do with himself.

Looking at this underwhelming appearance, if it weren't for the strong forbearance in his heart, Xiao Chufang really couldn't help but give a punch.

Now that the matter has been decided, there is no point in arguing with the other party. only said in an indifferent voice: "I hope everything is really as the prime minister said, and there will be no more troubles." ”

As the next word fell, Xiao Chu turned around wildly and resolutely left.

A few days later, when Xiao Mingqian successfully returned to the court, the news of the victory in the main hall was announced. The emperor immediately read out the edict he had written before in front of all the civil and military officials.

Such a great gift, let alone those officials, even Xiao Mingqian himself never expected it.

After this experience on the front line, Xiao Mingqian realized the preciousness of life more and more, and only felt that surviving was already the greatest gift, and he didn't dare to think about anything else.

Perhaps it was because of such a cruel thing that Xiao Mingqian's whole temperament has changed a lot.

When the morning dynasty ended, he waited for the prime minister directly at the door, and his mind was full of the figure he was thinking about.

After this incident, Xiao Mingqian didn't think much about it, he just felt that he could marry a wife with peace of mind, and his life after spending it in the palace like this was not an errand.

"Prime Minister, now that I have returned safely, I wonder if Le Yin is still in the mansion now? I was ignorant before, but now I understand how good she is. Now that I am a general, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and it is better to hold a wedding in the next few days? ”

Until the prime minister appeared in front of him, Xiao Mingqian immediately greeted him.

Because of the war, his skin was several degrees darker than everyone in the palace, and his skin was visibly rough.

Obviously, they are already people who have experienced a big scene, but when they mention Leng Leyin, they seem a little cramped and uneasy.

Maybe it's because I realize how much of a mess I did before I left, and I'm a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Xiao Mingqian only thought that the other party was a little embarrassed, and when he opened his mouth and wanted to say more, he saw the prime minister whose eyes were dyed with sadness raised his hand.

"Thank you to the four princes for their love, it is her blessing that the little girl Le Yin can always be remembered. It's just a pity that she can't bear such a blessing. ”

The prime minister's words couldn't help but make him tremble in his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, is something happening?" ”

When the words fell, he looked around, only to feel that everyone's eyes were filled with a trace of sadness, and a very bad thought suddenly rose in his heart.

"Le Yin her, she didn't have long been away from the palace, and she was already dead!" As if a thunderbolt suddenly appeared, Xiao Mingqian only felt that something in his heart suddenly stopped beating.
