Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, when the New Year's Eve came, the envoys from northern Xinjiang entered the palace to face each other, and proposed marriage in words.

The emperor did not respond, only saying that the matter will be discussed later.

Because there were foreigners at the banquet, the princes were safe and sound, and they did not fight each other openly or secretly. However, the envoys from Northern Xinjiang were extremely dissatisfied with King Yu, and they provoked several times with their words, but King Yu responded without pain.

After the banquet, the emperor was about to rest. Concubine Qi came to the imperial study with two boxes of account books, and reported to the emperor that the accounts of the internal affairs department were wrong.

After hearing this, the emperor was furious, and immediately called the head of the Internal Affairs Department to inquire, and dispatched other people to check the account books.

The head of the Department of Internal Affairs refused to plead guilty, and finally hit a post and died. Three of his subordinates also committed suicide in fear of crime. After checking the account books, the amount of embezzled silver reported by Concubine Qi was correct. The emperor ordered to trace the whereabouts of the money, and finally found Concubine Li Gui.

King Ling and Li Qingzhou had not yet returned to their mansion, but they were announced to enter the palace again by the emperor. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw Concubine Li Gui who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and felt bad.

The emperor threw the account book to Li Qingzhou for inspection, angrily reprimanded Concubine Li Gui for not managing the palace affairs well, and ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the silver. Other officials and stewards in the Department of Internal Affairs were scolded and interrogated, and finally someone couldn't bear the punishment, and confessed that everything was done by Concubine Li Gui, and that all the money was corrupted by Concubine Li's subordinates.

Concubine Li Gui firmly refused to admit that the supervisor and several important stewards were dead. Without proof of death, the emperor could not convict him. At this moment, Concubine Li brought people back to report, saying that she had caught a maid who stole. During the interrogation, she was involved in an old case. She was pregnant, and the interrogation again involved many old cases, and Concubine Li was stunned on the spot.

King Ling knelt down to plead for mercy, his forehead was bruised and purple, the emperor ignored it at all, and directly ordered Concubine Li Gui to be demoted to concubine, and temporarily imprisoned in Liuli Palace.

Concubine Li Gui cried and fainted, and was thrown back to her palace after waking up. In the past, she was only grounded, and there were court ladies serving her. Now, she is the only one in the huge palace, and she is no longer a high-ranking concubine, but demoted to a concubine. For the prince's sake, I'm afraid she won't even be able to keep her concubine.

The emperor ordered to reorganize the Department of Internal Affairs, and with the secret help of Princess Yide, Concubine Qi took the opportunity to wipe out most of the people Li Jia'an had put in.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of rectifying the Department of Internal Affairs, Concubine Qi obtained the consent of the emperor and released a large number of old people in the palace, especially paying attention to cleaning up the eyeliner of the Li family. As a result, most of the eyes and ears of King Ling and the Li family were lost. The Li family wanted to fight back, but before they started to attack, they discovered that their property had been impacted, and when they went to investigate, they found Yi Baoxuan.

King Ling was so angry that he thought that Qi Ming had completely surrendered to King Jin, and was about to vent his anger on Yi Baoxuan, but he received a message from Qi Ming that King Jin's legs had recovered and he was now practicing walking.

King Ling was flustered when he knew about it. King Yu was already too much for him to handle, and if he added King Jin, it would be even more difficult.

In his anger, he didn't discuss with Li Qingzhou at all, and secretly instructed the nails placed beside King Jin to poison King Jin again.

This time, the nail was caught by King Jin's men before he could make a move, and he explained the cause and effect under interrogation. The king of Jin directly brought people into the palace, and put the poison in front of the emperor.

The emperor was furious when he heard the words, but more disappointed. He didn't expect King Ling to be so frenzied that he even poisoned his own younger brother without hesitation. Although he didn't attack directly, he secretly supported King Yu and King Jin to suppress King Ling and gradually gathered the power in his hands.

The battle between you and me in the court hall was extremely lively. Today you have the upper hand, and tomorrow I will be superior. Fortunately, the emperor balances the situation, so the entire Dali court was not completely disrupted.

Mu Yunyao and King Yue have already arrived in Yancheng.

Yancheng is not far from the capital, but there is no trace of the glitz and glamour of the capital here. It is the end of the new year, and the city is full of festive atmosphere, which is extraordinarily lively.

After disembarking in Yancheng and finding an inn to rest for a while, Mu Yunyao and King Yue changed to a carriage and headed slowly towards Xiayan Village.

It was still early when they arrived, and they could see the smoke rising from the village in the distance.

Mu Yunyao thought of Yang Shi who took extra care of her and her mother before, so she couldn't help but take steps to find the past by following her memory.

Most of the village has not changed, but Yang's house has been replaced with a new house, and the whole yard is much brighter.

The carriage straightened out, attracting many children to come out and follow the carriage from a distance, and some of them were very excited to point at the tall horse.

Yang Shi came out when she heard the barking of the dog, opened the door and saw the guards around the carriage, she felt very nervous. Just as he was thinking about whether to go back and call his husband, he saw an imposing man getting down from the carriage.

He was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe with cloud patterns, a jade belt around his waist, and a red gold crown on his head. He had a handsome face and a cold breath. He was even more handsome and airy than the gods who descended from the earth in the opera, which made Yang panic and thought. Even when I salute, my legs feel weak.

Just when she didn't know how to react, she saw the man turn around and pick up a woman from the carriage, to be precise, it should be a girl.

This young girl is slender and slender, wearing a silver brocade cloak with snow-white fringe, which looks extraordinarily warm and harmonious, making her delicate and sweet face even more agile and delicate. She stepped out of the carriage slowly, her cloak fluttering as she moved, revealing a beautifully embroidered flower and smoke skirt.

Yang looked at the girl who got out of the car, and the more she looked at her, the more familiar she looked, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yao... Yaoer? Are you Yunyao?"

Mu Yunyao looked over and saw that Yang's spirit was much better than before, and her clothes were neatly dressed. At this time, she was surprised, but her eyes couldn't hide the excitement, and she couldn't help but curled her lips: "Auntie Yang, it's been a long time I'm gone, are you all right?"

When Yang Shi heard this, her eyes turned red immediately. Regardless of the fear of King Yue, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mu Yunyao's hand: "Yunyao, is it really you? That's great, it's really great, I've been I am concerned about you and Sister Su Qing, where have you been for so long, why is there no news at all?"

Mu Yunyao let Yang Shi hold her back, and she felt very complicated in her heart: "Auntie Lao is concerned, everything is fine with my mother."
