Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 274: The Dust Settles

"Jing Kui was the late emperor's illegitimate son, but the late emperor had an agreement with the empress dowager that only their son could take the throne, because he was afraid that Jing Kui would come to compete with the emperor. In the end, he castrated Jing Kui, unable to pass on the family line, and then let a palace man take him away and raise him among the people. After Jing Kui knew about this, he wanted revenge. He wanted the life of the emperor. Wen Lan is only Jing Kui's adopted son, and he came into contact with Qin Meng only to carry out Jing Kui's revenge plan." Jing Wenxi's voice came very clearly, and both Yun Shang and Prince Jing were shocked.

Yun Shang originally only knew that this matter had something to do with Jing Kui, but she didn't know that there was such an ulterior secret. Yun Shang hurriedly said to Prince Jing, "I have to go to the palace, please trouble the prince to continue interrogating, if there is a result, just send someone to the palace, this matter involves a lot..."

King Jing nodded, and Yun Chang hurried out of the courtyard gate and went straight to the palace.

Emperor Ning was in the Qiwu Palace, so Yunshang hurriedly called the palace servants to send a letter, saying that there was an extremely important matter to report to Emperor Ning. God kept it.

In less than half an hour, Emperor Ning came over, "What's the matter? In such a hurry?" Emperor Ning saw that there was a thin layer of sweat on Yunshang's forehead, and couldn't help being a little surprised, but it is rare to see Yunshang like this .

Yunshang looked around at the palace people with downcast eyes, and Emperor Ning asked the palace people to retreat, and then Yunshang quickly reported to Emperor Ning one by one what he had just said from Jing Wenxi's mouth. Yan also frowned, looked at the table unconsciously with his hands, and said after a while, "I heard about the matter from the late emperor before, and sent someone to look for the child, but the late emperor wanted to protect him, so he has never seen him." The whereabouts, it turned out that it was him."

Yunshang was silent, and then said after a long while, "This matter is very involved. Jing Kui can be executed based on Jing Wenxi's confession alone, but it must be done quickly enough. Don't let people who know Jing Kui's identity have no chance to preempt the court. The minister knows."

Emperor Ning nodded, "Jing Kui is under my control, I asked the secret guard to deal with it first, and then said that he committed suicide in fear of crime, and killed him in conjunction with Li Jingyan and Cang Jue Qingsu. Make it public, and when the time comes, others will have nothing to question."

"Yes, it should be so." Yun Shang replied in a low voice, and then said, "Shang'er will have people present the evidence of the previous two cases before the emperor, and let the emperor make the decision himself, but Shang'er has something to think about. beg."

"Oh?" Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "But you want me to bypass the Seventh Prince of Xia, and find a scapegoat to take his crimes?"

Yun Chang was silent for a long while before replying in a low voice, "Yes."

Emperor Ning's gaze fell on the butterfly hairpin on top of Yunshang's head, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Prince Jing has already returned to the residence?"

Yun Shang paused for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Yes. My father must have known about my son's abilities. If it wasn't for Prince Jing, how could my son find so much evidence."

Emperor Ning's gaze sank slightly, and he said after a while, "You guys are going back to Xia Kingdom with Xia Huanyu? When are you leaving?"

"The eighth day of next month." Yun Shang's voice became a little softer.

"The eighth day of next month, it's thirty now, and there are still eight days left." Emperor Ning sighed, "I have agreed to what you asked, and I will tell Xia Huanyu personally, if it is not because you are my favorite Princess, I will never let his son go. What he owes is your favor. In the Kingdom of Xia, I can see it for the sake of this matter and treat you better. Your status in the Kingdom of Xia will be different. Ningguo is like this, you deal with this and that, thinking that I don’t know at all, I don’t know how many times I have cleaned up the mess for you. When you arrive in Xiaguo, remember to be careful, the queen, princess and concubine of Xiaguo , all of them are not easy to get along with."

Emperor Ning was used to being an emperor, and he seldom said so much. Yun Chang only felt a slight soreness at the tip of his nose. After a long silence, he forced back the wetness in his eyes, and nodded in response, "I understand, my son I would like to obey my father's instruction."

"Go back." Emperor Ning waved his hand and said calmly.

Yun Shang returned to the mansion, and King Jing was already there, "The evidence has been sorted out and sent to the palace, and this matter will be understood soon."

Yun Chang nodded slowly, "Well, the emperor also agreed, this time spare the seventh prince."

Hearing this, Prince Jing was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and slowly embraced Yunshang into his arms, "There are still seven or eight days left, why don't you go back to the palace for a while and spend more time with Concubine Jin and your father?"

Yun Chang opened her mouth, only to feel her throat a little sore, and after a while she said dryly, "No need."

No need, we have to leave after all, if we see each other a lot, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to let go when we part. Yun Chang walked back into the house silently, lay down on the soft couch, seemed extremely tired, and fell asleep after a while.

Prince Xia and Prince Yelang both died in Ning, which added a bit of subtlety to the three kingdoms that were already at war. Everyone in the world is watching this matter, and the truth was announced to the world in the form of an edict, but everyone was shocked.

Li Jingyan used Xia Guo as an ally to launch a coup, but she didn't want to fail. Li Jingyan gifted her granddaughter, Princess Huajing, to Cangjue Qingsu, the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, and made an alliance with Cangjue Qingsu. Cangjue Qingsu offered to kill Yelang Prince as a condition. The envoy killed Prince Xia in exchange for an alliance with the Seventh Prince of Xia, but he didn't want the Seventh Prince of Xia to be extremely angry when he found out, and refused to agree. The conditions were combined with Jing Kui, the prime minister of Ningguo.

Jing Wenxi, Jing Kui's daughter, got acquainted with Prince Yelang because of the fact that Prince Yelang was humiliated at the palace banquet, and threatened to help Prince Yelang avenge him. The ventriloquist invited by Jing Kui performed a show, and falsely framed King Jing with the token of King Jing forged by the master forger, but he didn't want to be killed by the killers invited by Li Jingyan and Cang Jue Qingsu. Later, as soon as the incident was exposed, Jing Kui committed suicide in fear of crime in his own house. Li Jingyan had also been arrested and executed at a certain date, while Cangjue Qingsu was handed over to the emperor of Yelang Kingdom himself.

The announced truth rounded up the matter very carefully, but completely ignored the Seventh Prince of Xia.

Xia Huanyu looked at the woman sitting across from him, and said after a moment of silence, "I heard that you are the one who begged Emperor Ning?"

Yun Shang naturally knew what he was talking about, so she smiled and said, "Although the prince has a high reputation in Ning country, he started from nothing when he arrived in Ning country, and his majesty and the prince have been separated for many years, so I'm afraid they don't have such deep feelings. I can understand it. The prince is different. He has not been favored by his parents for so many years. After finally knowing who his parents are, he naturally hopes to be able to get closer to his father. The seventh prince framed the prince before, but His Majesty Putting such an embarrassing request to the lord, he was troubled in his heart, so I asked my father for this kind of favor, just to hope that the lord can feel a little better."

Xia Huanyu frowned, and looked at Yunshang's face for a long time, but seeing that her face was calm, she lowered her head lightly, and sneered, "He is Hualing's child, so I should be more partial to him." It’s just that pampering is not good for him sometimes, but teaching him how cruel the royal family is, and letting him know how to survive this cruelty is the most important thing.”

"Your Majesty's good intentions, but not everyone can understand." Yun Shang dropped the last son and said lightly, "This sentence, His Majesty lost, must have something on his mind. In this case, Chang'er is also tired, I won't be with Your Majesty anymore." After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion with a light voice.

Prince Jing had already returned to Prince Jing's mansion, but because of his status, he hadn't gone to court these days, and he just stayed in the house and read a book every day, and he had never seen Xia Huanyu even when he came.

"Who won?" Seeing Yun Shang coming back, Prince Jing raised his eyes and asked calmly.

Yun Chang smiled, sat down on the soft edge and smiled, "Of course I won."

Prince Jing also laughed, stopped talking, and kept his eyes on the book, Yun Chang turned his eyes to Qian Yin and said, "Is everything packed?"

"Going back to the princess, it's almost the same. You don't need to bring too much clothes, you can just buy them when you arrive in Xia Kingdom. Other utensils, some of which were given by the emperor recently, are small but very expensive, and the slaves brought them all. , I’m afraid it will come in handy when I arrive in the Xia Kingdom. The rest, the most brought are the books, calligraphy and paintings of the prince and princess. My servants, the servants have prepared sixteen maids and sixteen servants each.” Qian Yin lowered her head and answered one by one, smiling and looking at Yunshang, "Is there anything else you want to add, Princess?"

Yun Chang thought for a while, then shook her head, "There's nothing left, what's missing isn't important, and I'll just add it later." But she raised her eyes and looked at King Jing, "My lord has arrived in Xia Kingdom. He should be a prince too, so he can't afford to buy even ordinary things, right?"

Prince Jing smiled and patted Yunshang on the head, "What are you talking about? I asked the manager to exchange the shop and Zhuangzi under my name for silver. Later, I asked the butler to bring the accounts to the princess for review. I'm not good at these things, so let the princess take care of it."

"In that case, if the prince wants pocket money, he has to apply to the princess." Qianyin joked with a smile when she heard this.

Prince Jing was not angry, and said with a smile, "I think there are not many places and people where I can spend money. One hundred taels of silver per month should be enough. If I can save some money, I can give it to you." Madame bought some rouge jewelry." For a while, the room was filled with laughter. \u003c
