Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

The queen frowned slightly. Early this morning, she sent her heart out to Shunqing Palace to keep an eye on it. When she came here just now, she still hadn't come back. How could she be here?

Manager Zheng also came in, walked into the hall and stood still, "Your Majesty, the guards at the West Palace Gate have also been interrogated just now. The guards said that they found out the registration of entering the palace gate, but they did not find Xiuxin, just The servant brought Xiuxin to the gate of the palace and showed it to the guard, and the guard recognized it, saying that Xiuxin left the palace early this morning, but the registered one was not called Xiuxin, but Yayun."

The queen was startled when she heard the words, she always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was going on, so she could only stare with wide eyes.

Emperor Ning turned his eyes away, and said with a cold smile, "Didn't the empress just say that Xiuxin is in the Qiwu Palace? Why did she leave the palace again?"

Hearing this, the queen squeezed the embroidered handkerchief tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth, and said angrily, "That damned girl, how could she cheat the concubine? Early this morning, the maid who lived in the same room as her came to report , Said that Xiuxin was sick, and was afraid that the concubine would be angry with her, so she only had to take a day off. The concubine thought that she would do her best to serve her on weekdays, so she didn't say anything, but she didn't think she was lying to the concubine ?”

The coldness in Emperor Ning's eyes became more intense, "Oh? Something happened to Shunqing's palace today, saying that the emerald birthday peach you asked Shang'er to send over was poisoned? Why did you smear poison on the birthday peach, intending to harm Shunqing? princess?"

The queen quickly lowered her head, and her voice was a bit hurried, "The concubine and Princess Shunqing have no grievances or enmity, what are you doing to harm Princess Shunqing? Besides, the concubine's concubine is still the princess of the county of Prince Shunqing's mansion, It's too late for the concubines to get close, so how could they harm Princess Shunqing? This birthday peach was sent by Chang'er, could it be that someone tampered with it?"

Yun Shang can naturally hear that the person who said this is naturally herself. With tears in his eyes, he said aggrievedly, "What did the queen mother say? Could it be that the concubine mother suspected that it was the poison of Chang'er?"

The queen's eyes were cold, "How could it be? However, the maids around you cannot be cleared of suspicion. Why don't people arrest the maids in your palace and ask them?"

As soon as the queen's words fell, she was interrupted by Emperor Ning's cold snort, "Li Yiran! I have been married to you for so many years. Splash dirty water on Chang'er, whoever poisoned you will know it in your heart, if you don't understand, I will let you understand today."

"Come here, bring the princess of the county." Emperor Ning raised his voice, and the guards on the side escorted the princess of the county again.

Emperor Ning smiled coldly, and said to the princess, "Say."

The concubine of the county looked up at the queen timidly, but saw a cold light in her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She was about to speak, but she heard King Shunqing's low voice from beside her, "Rui'er will live in a few days It's time to ask for a wife..."

The princess of the county immediately kowtowed her head three times as if someone had stepped on her tail and said, "The minister said, the minister said. About ten days ago, the aunt Xiuxin who was beside the empress quietly found her in Shunqing Palace. The minister said that if the minister does a small thing for the empress, the empress will make the decision herself, and adopt the child of the minister to the sister-in-law. If the sister-in-law has no sons, she can make Ruier the eldest son. The minister has always been unable to treat the husband. Having won the position of the son of the world, I am very worried about it, and I am very happy to hear what the empress said, so my heart was covered with lard, and I agreed."

Two lines of tears flowed from the eyes of the princess of the county, "Ms. Xiuxin told the maidservant, Empress Empress... Empress Empress will ask Princess Huiguo to present a gift, and ask the courtiers to replace the gift box quietly at that time, and insist that she will see it by herself. Princess Huiguo secretly wiped it on while no one was paying attention. The court lady managed to replace the gift box, but who knew, or why, that the prince and concubine were not poisoned, Xiuxin... Aunt Xiuxin panicked , thought of a way to poison Xueshi Wu and his illegitimate daughter to death, and wanted the courtier's wife to be identified. The sachet that poisoned Xueshi Wu's father and daughter, the fabric and thread were all from the queen, and the embroidery work The son belongs to the court lady next to Princess Hui, and the minister's wife and Aunt Xiuxin were talking, when the princess and prince found out..."

The princess of the county cried with a sad face, but she also explained the matter clearly intermittently, and the queen's complexion gradually became ugly. It took a long time before he smiled coldly, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it. The princess must have put a lot of thought into setting up today's situation."

Yun Chang couldn't help but smile slightly in her heart, the queen is not stupid, she could tell at a glance that this game was arranged by herself, but, so why not know? Anyway, I won't let her go.

Yun Chang's face was still timid and authentic, "What did the queen mother say, why did Chang'er set up such a situation to harm herself?"

Emperor Ning was even more angry, he gritted his teeth and said, "You still haven't pleaded guilty?"

The queen smiled coldly, and raised her head to look at Emperor Ning, "The concubine still said the same thing, why is there no excuse for inflicting crimes? Could it be that the emperor believed this woman just by hearing her one-sided words?"

Princess Shunqing couldn't help but smiled, "The empress didn't just say that the concubine of the empress is the concubine of the county, so she wants to get closer to the minister's wife. The minister's wife was still thinking, you and the princess of the county The relationship between the two must be very good, why do you say that the words of the princess of the county are one-sided?"

"Who knows what you have packed up, but let her come here and talk nonsense!" The queen said coldly.

Emperor Ning snorted, and said to the princess, "You said these things were done by the empress, do you have evidence?"

The princess of the county nodded again and again, "My wife and Princess Huiguo have never met each other, so naturally it is impossible to know what gift Princess Huiguo will give, and there will be no chance to make an identical one to replace it. The concubine said that the replacement was still bloodshot. Aunt Xiuxin said that the bloodshot emerald symbolized unlucky. If the princess saw it, she would definitely blame Princess Huiguo for her anger, and she would definitely throw the birthday peach at that time. If you take it out and look at it, you will be poisoned. And the birthday gift that the minister's wife replaced is still in the minister's house, the emperor can send someone to get it, and then he will know whether it is true or not."

Emperor Ning nodded, waved his hand to ask people to pick it up, and then ordered people to bring Xiuxin up, Xiuxin was still confused, "Mother? Your Majesty? But what happened? Why did people suddenly ask?" Bring the slaves?"

"Where have you been for half a day?" Emperor Ning said coldly.

Xiuxin was shocked when he heard the words. He raised his head and looked at the situation in front of him. Both King Shunqing and Princess Shunqing were there, and Princess Huiguo was also there. The Princess of the County was still kneeling beside her, but she was still in tears. It looked like he had just cried. The princess of the county is not allowed to enter the palace at will, but it is Princess Shunqing's birthday, but she suddenly appeared here, what does it mean?

Xiu Xin only felt a coldness on her back, kowtowed her head repeatedly and said, "Your maidservant has been staying in Wu Palace all morning?"

"Nonsense, you were clearly in Shunqing Prince's Mansion before." Emperor Ning hadn't spoken yet, and Princess Jun retorted. If she identified the murderer, she would at best be regarded as an accomplice, and at least she could save Rui'er a bit. .

Xiu Xin bit her lips, and thought inwardly that she was not good, did the Princess Princess really say anything? With a drum in his heart, he heard Yunshang's voice faintly, "Aunt Xiuxin, the princess of the county has already said what should be said, Aunt Xiuxin should save a little effort."

The fear in Xiuxin's heart was even greater, and she just felt that today seemed a bit unusual. She went to the Shunqing Palace to see how things were going, but she didn't want to and didn't know what was going on, so she fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw that it was not too late. I asked my servants, but I heard that King Shunqing and the concubine were no longer at the residence. She originally wanted to inquire more, but she was afraid that she would reveal her secrets after leaving for too long, so she hurried back to the palace first, but she didn't want to, she was arrested as soon as she entered the palace gate.

"You have already done such a harmful thing, don't you admit it? Did your mother ask you to do it?" Seeing her hesitation, Yun Shang knew that Xiu Xin was not a good match, if Once she understands the details of the matter, she will naturally find that something is wrong. If she says something that shouldn't be said at that time, her own arrangement will be in vain, so she deliberately made a sound to provoke her. She has always been extremely loyal to the queen, and she would rather bear all the crimes by herself than to implicate the queen.

Sure enough, once Xiuxin heard this, she couldn't care about anything else, and bowed to Emperor Ning, "The emperor calms down, this matter was planned by this servant, and has nothing to do with the empress. Princess Huiguo went to congratulate Princess Shunqing on her birthday, and she was afraid that Princess Huiguo would not have a good birthday gift, so she gave her the precious emerald birthday peach. The slaves have always disliked Princess Huiguo, and Princess Huiguo was not born by her mother However, the emperor treats her much better than Princess Huajing in everything. The slaves are not fair for the empress. Since entering the palace, the empress has always played the role of a good queen, a good wife, and a good mother, but only the slaves know her. The servant girl thought that if Princess Hui was eliminated, the Empress would be much more relaxed, so she made a decision without authorization and asked someone to make fake birthday peaches, and went to find the princess of the county."

A little sweat broke out in the queen's hands, soaking the brocade handkerchief in her hand. How could this embroidered heart be confused at such a critical moment? This look is a trap, not to mention that Princess Shunqing is fine, which makes people suspicious, and what the princess said just now, what kind of sachet, others do not know, but she knows, she never ordered I want to do this with my heart.

But, until now, she couldn't help it. The concubine of the county pleaded guilty, and even Xiuxin took all the responsibilities by herself, what else can she do, I'm afraid, even if this is the case, she will lose the trust of the emperor. I'm afraid this time, even if there is a father, it will be difficult to stand up again. The empress only felt the cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and now she was struggling to even speak. After a long time, she knelt down on the ground with a sad expression, "The concubine is not strict, please punish me."

Emperor Ning closed his eyes, his face was pale, well, it's really good, his queen actually wanted to murder his daughter. Moreover, now that Xiuxin has committed all the crimes, plus the fact that the former court was controlled by the prime minister, even if he knew that this was probably the queen's idea, he still couldn't touch her in the slightest. Even my daughter can't take good care of her, which makes her feel even more desolate.

"Come here, Xiuxin intends to murder the princess, pull him out, and beat him to death with a stick. The empress is not strict, and punished to copy Buddhist scriptures in Qiwu Palace. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of Qiwu Palace." Emperor Ning She closed her eyes slightly, and there was a faint bulge of blue veins on her forehead.

Someone at the side stepped forward to take Xiuxin away, but Xiuxin was very calm, kowtowed three times to the queen, and said, "I am sorry for the empress, I will repay your kindness in the next life."

Xiuxin has been with me for so many years, it would be a lie to say that she has no feelings, the queen looked at Xiuxin's appearance, and felt even more sad from it, and said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie Xiuxin is gone, I won't see you off Already." After saying that, he turned around and stepped out of the Qinzheng Hall.

Xiuxin also left with the guards. Emperor Ning raised his eyes to look at Yunshang with a sad face, sighed and said, "Shang'er was shocked today, so please help me to send her back to Qingxin Hall. The princess, or Prince Shunqing and Concubine Wang should be taken back home, this is your family's business, and I will not interfere with it."

Seeing Emperor Ning raised his hand and rubbed his temples, everyone knew that he was tired after all the fuss, so they all retreated.

After leaving the Hall of Qinzheng, Yun Shang turned her head to look at King Jing and said, "The Hall of Qingxin is not far from here, and Chang'er knows the way, so I won't bother you, Uncle Emperor."

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Shang'er wants me to resist the order? This king can't bear this responsibility. If Shang'er doesn't want me to send you off, then go and tell the emperor."

Yun Shang gritted her teeth, determined that she doesn't want to go in and talk to her father now, does she? Yun Chang gave him a hard look, turned around and walked forward.

The corner of Prince Jing's mouth curled up into a faint smile, and he followed him unhurriedly, but he said as if talking to himself, "Shang'er's performance is really good today. If this king didn't know Shang'er, he would have thought that Shang'er was a well-known opera singer in the imperial city."

Yun Chang paused, and the corners of her mouth curled up ironically, "Speaking of singing, Chang'er is not as good as the emperor's uncle. He obviously doesn't like it, but he pretends to have a deep affection for Chang'er. I don't know Yes, I thought we had been in private for a long time. Uncle Huang has such a reputation for being a bad girl, so he often does such things, right? It's just that Chang'er is only fifteen years old this year, but Uncle Huang is about to reach his thirties Yes, it’s true, an old cow eats young grass.”

Seeing her eloquence, Prince Jing was very surprised and couldn't help laughing, "Shang'er can really talk, you are a grass, I am a cow, isn't it the duty of a cow to eat grass?"

Yun Shang was choked by him, so he could only give him a bitter look, and then ignored him.

King Jing didn't provoke her, and followed Yun Shang to the Qingxin Hall, regardless of whether Yun Shang invited her or not, he stepped in directly. Qin Yi and Qian Yin didn't come back after seeing Yun Shang for such a long time, although they knew Yun Shang's ability in their hearts, they were secretly a little anxious, and hurriedly greeted them when they heard footsteps, "Princess, are you okay?"

When he saw Prince Jing behind him, he was taken aback, "My lord Jin'an."

It was only then that Yun Chang realized that he had entered the Hall of Pure Heart with such a cheeky face, and his expression suddenly became embarrassing, "Father only asked you to send me back, but didn't ask me to entertain you, please come back, my lord. "

Hearing Qin Yi's heart suddenly hit. Everyone knows about the marriage between the princess and Prince Jing. Moreover, I have discussed it with Qin Yi in private. I feel that Prince Jing looks a bit colder, but he is someone who can be entrusted, so I am happy to see it come true. up. Besides, the princess did not refute when the marriage was offered that day, so she should have been willing, but she didn't expect the princess to show her face at Prince Jing like this. Prince Jing is a well-known cold-faced prince. good.

Qin Yi looked up and looked at King Jing's expression, but saw that he didn't seem to be angry, but seemed to be smiling a bit, and just wanted to say something nice for Yun Shang, but unexpectedly, King Jing spoke first , "The princess just had a little temper tantrum with the king, and now she is a little annoyed. It's okay, the princess is a little cold all the way, and her hands are ice-cold. Go and fetch some hot water to warm the princess' hands."

Qin Yi raised her head and looked at Qian Yin, then nodded, and was about to retreat, but she heard Yun Shang say, "Who are you from? I haven't even spoken yet, who told you to go?"

Qin Yi and Qian Yin didn't dare to move again.

Just as the small drum was beating in my heart, I heard Prince Jing sighing again, "I was just joking with you, I didn't know that you are so talkative, if you don't like it, you can hit me or scold me Forget it, I'm here anyway, so if you want to complain, you can."

These words sounded a bit like praying, Qian Yin and Qin Yi were both extremely surprised, they had always been by the princess's side, why did the princess become so familiar with Prince Jing and he didn't even know? Qianyin recalled that some time ago at the border, the princess slept in the prince's camp. At that time, she thought that the princess was the prince's junior, and the prince avoided going out every night, so she didn't say anything. How many days are you absent? Qianyin was secretly startled, no wonder something happened to the prince that day, and the princess was so nervous that she personally summoned everyone to rescue her.

He thought again in his heart, and fortunately, not long after he came back, the emperor granted the princess a marriage with Prince Jing, otherwise many people in the camp would have seen the princess's appearance, if it spreads in the future, I'm afraid it will damage her boudoir's reputation.

And seeing that the prince is almost obedient to the princess today, even though the princess has lost her temper for some reason, it is really rare to see Prince Jing begging the princess in such a low voice.

Yun Shang didn't know that her court lady had been thinking so much in her heart, but she just thought how could there be someone as shameless as Prince Jing in the world, so she sneered, "There is no one else here, so there is no need for the emperor to stay here." Pretentious, come here, see off the prince..."\u003c
