Yuan Zhao stepped out of the carriage and looked up at his renovated mansion, which from the outside did not look much different from before.

If there is no difference, it is probably the black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging at the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with five big characters "Yongle Princess Mansion".

Following Yuan Zhao's gaze, Qingsui sighed from the bottom of his heart: "The word Overseer is really excellent!" ”

Yuan Zhao nodded, extremely agreeing in his heart.

Tan Jiuzhou is really perfect, and in Yuan Zhao's impression, it seems that there is nothing he can't do.

"Your Highness, you're back."

The door opened, and out of it came a butler-like person, with a respectful but unflattering attitude.

Yuan Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she knew in her heart that this should be the new steward that Tan Jiuzhou found for her.

After the Qixi Lantern Festival, Yuan Zhao sent Ye Wentao's father and son together, because he was busy preparing for the return of the mother emperor to the palace, so he asked Tan Jiuzhou to find a reliable person for her.

Now it seems that Tan Jiuzhou has found this person very well.

"What's your name?" she asked. ”

The man bent down and replied: "The villain's name is Xu Shihong, a native of Yanjing, who used to be in charge of the Governor's Mansion. ”

Yuan Zhao was stunned, Tan Jiuzhou, this person, actually sent the steward of his own mansion over?

Thinking that Tan Jiuzhou should be extremely trustworthy to this Xu steward, he will send him over.

Yuan Zhao bowed his head and said lightly: "Since you used to work in the governor's mansion, you are also a person who knows how to measure, you just have to do your errand, and this palace will not treat you badly." ”

Xu Shihong hurriedly nodded and smiled: "The villain remembers His Royal Highness's teachings, and in the days to come, he must always remember to know what to do and what not to do." ”

Talking to smart people is to save trouble, Yuan Zhao nodded lightly, and walked in.

As soon as he approached Houhu, he heard a sharp angry scolding from the pavilion by Houhu.

Yuan Zhao looked at it, and it was Su Zhu who was commanding in a group of maids.

"You cheap embryo, you dare to arouse this girl, in the end, I just bought it from outside, my eyelids are shallow, I don't know what is really at stake in this princess's mansion."

"I'll tell you, I'm a second-class maid, and there were only two first-class maids above me, Izumo and Aoho, and now Izumo's stupid death and loss of life, there is a vacancy for the first-class maid, do you think the eldest princess is promoting me, the old man of the mansion, or you, the girl who has just entered the mansion and never even seen the eldest princess?"

Opposite Suzhu, stood a maid wearing a pale green lotus-patterned gown.

The maid was still young, and in the face of Su Zhu's aggressiveness, she was covering half of her swollen face, and was sobbing in a low voice.

Qingsui's face was full of anger, and he was about to rush forward to clean up the powerful Suzhu, but his hand was grabbed by Yuan Zhao.

"If you want to be punished, you will be punished together." Yuan Zhao's expression was faint, and he turned to Xu Shihong and ordered, "Bring all the people in the mansion to Jingyi Hall, and the palace will treat the silverfish in this mansion today." ”

——

In front of Jingyi Hall, the subordinates of the princess's mansion got Xu Shihong's order and waited in front of Jingyi Hall early.

When Su Zhu was still showing his majesty, he was interrupted by Xu Shihong in a cold voice, and only then did he know that Yuan Zhao had actually returned home. I don't know if Yuan Zhao heard what she said just now, but at this moment, her heart was up and down, hiding in the crowd, for fear of being seen by Yuan Zhao.

When Yuan Zhao walked over, the attendants in front of Jingyi Hall knelt on the ground and saluted.

Yuan Zhao walked unhurriedly to the chair in the center of the lobby, and Aoho respectfully served the tea that had been prepared earlier.

"I guess you are guessing the purpose of this palace calling you here at this moment." Yuan Zhao took the tea handed by Qingsui, took a sip, and said slowly, "You should have heard about the death of the Izumo Betrayer. This palace is also very clear about some of you, the things that Su Ri has done, and now I have called you over to take care of the people in my house. ”

After that, Yuan Zhao pointed to Su Zhu, who was wearing pink clothes at the end of the crowd, and said with a light smile: "Su Zhu, don't you like to be in the limelight the most on weekdays?" Why did you run behind that today? ”

Suddenly being called by name, Su Zhu's face instantly turned pale, and his body, which was already trembling slightly, trembled violently uncontrollably.

"Come to the main palace." Yuan Zhao smiled and beckoned to her, "I just saw you in Houhu, but you are really majestic, why, now even the palace can't summon you?" ”

Speaking of the back, it was obviously a very gentle tone, but it became more and more creepy.

Horrified, Su Zhu knelt at the feet of Yuan Zhao, and desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The slave maid is a ghost who has lost her mind for a while, begging Your Highness for forgiveness, begging Your Highness for forgiveness."

The sound of kowtowing sounded louder than the last, but after a moment, Su Zhu's forehead became bloody and blurred.

"Look at Suzhu's face." Yuan Zhao raised her head and sighed, "On weekdays, you take care of it more carefully than the main palace, but now you don't care about it at all, so what are you doing behind the back of the main palace?" Makes you scared like this. ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Su Zhu stepped forward in a panic, trying to grab Yuan Zhao's dress, but before he could get close, he was kicked away by Wu Zhen.

Su Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up at Yuan Zhao, only to see that Yuan Zhao was still looking at her with a light smile, but those eyes were like a lake covered with ice in winter, full of indifferent irony.

Looking at Yuan Zhao like this, Su Zhu's heart was terrified to the extreme, she fell to the ground in a panic, and said with tears in her eyes: "The slave maid was blinded by lard, so she was deceived, the slave maid didn't think about harming His Royal Highness, it was Mo Gongzi he, Mo Gongzi he ......"

"What is he? Is it because he is so gentle to you that you forget your identity, so you dare to frame me and the Overseer? Yuan Zhao smiled lowly, "You don't love your own face the most on weekdays, this palace will fulfill you today, first cut off your face, so that you can take a good look at your beauty before you die." ”

Hearing this, Su Zhu's eyes widened, and he forgot to quibble and beg for mercy.

It wasn't until he was dragged down that he came back to his senses and hissed, "No! You can't touch my face! I don't want it! Eldest princess, you won't die well! ”

Yuan Zhao frowned and looked at Wu Zhu, who nodded in understanding, and walked quickly to Su Zhu.

The sword was unsheathed, the insulting stopped abruptly, a tongue drenched in blood flew in front of everyone, bursts of screams came, and several attendants with weak endurance fainted directly.

"In the past, as the descendants of Princess Yongle's Mansion, you were more decent than any other family. This palace does not expect you to be able to go to the soup for this palace, only one, I Yuan Zhao only need loyal servants, and those who have different intentions, this palace will definitely not spare them. ”

After that, Yuan Zhao grabbed all the eyeliners buried in this mansion by Yuan Nian and Mo Jingshen, or killed them with a cane, or beheaded them, and the originally dark crowd gradually thinned out, and the front of the court was also stained red with blood.

At the end of the day, the sun gradually became scorching, I don't know if they were scared or hot, and many people in Jingyi Hall were sweating profusely.

Yuan Zhao quietly looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, knowing that his goal of establishing authority had been achieved, and the next step was to give grace.

"You have not betrayed the Lord, and for whatever reason, this house has a reward." Looking at the crowd who were still panicked in the last second with satisfaction, and the next second everyone's faces were full of surprise, Yuan Zhao said lightly, "A new subordinate will come in the mansion soon, and you, as the old man of the mansion, if you are loyal to the master, the reward will not be less." ”

"But if you have a different heart," Yuan Zhao glanced at Zhou Zhou with cold eyes, "the end will never be better than these people today." ”

Qingsui walked in front of Yuan Zhao, bowed his head and saluted: "The slave and maid will serve His Highness loyally, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up."

As soon as the words fell, the remaining attendants knelt down and said: "Slaves/slaves are loyal to their masters, and there are no two hearts!" ”

Xu Shihong looked at the scene in front of him, and was secretly shocked in his heart, this eldest princess is really a person with means.

Thinking of Tan Jiuzhou's instructions to him, Xu Shihong smiled bitterly, the eldest princess is now so powerful, where do these people in the mansion dare to regenerate right and wrong, thinking that as long as he concentrates on taking charge of the affairs of the mansion for the eldest father, it will be.
