My uncle, he has all the power in the world

Chapter 20 Ruined appearance?

royal palace.

Ning Lichen was in the Queen's Palace at this time. His face, which was originally cheerful and clear, was ashen and cruel, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

What's more troublesome than Su Xinsheng's disgrace is how to deal with Pei Zhuo!

From last night to this morning, Pei Pingqiu has looked for him three times!
  The Pei family, the imperial merchant!
  Ninety percent of the jade items in the palace come from the Pei Mansion, and the annual profits earned by the Pei Mansion...

Sixty percent of it went into Ning Lichen's pocket!

The queen on the side also looked unhappy. How could Su Xinshen do such a despicable thing if she seemed to be quite sensible and decent on weekdays?
  But Pei Zhuo was so frivolous!

"Su Xinchan is short-sighted and has no sense of shame. If she marries back to the East Palace, it will be a disaster!" the queen said coldly.

After hearing this, Tining Lichen's face became even colder. He had always been quite satisfied with Su Xinsheng. Su Yuanhe's apple always thought of him in everything and never went out of his way.

But this time.
  She must have been worried that Su Qingmo's return would affect her position as Crown Princess, so she did such a despicable thing.

"Su Xinsheng, you idiot!" Ning Lichen's voice was soft but extremely cold, showing how disgusted he was with this matter.

But the most important thing right now is how to deal with Pei Zhuo!
  The Queen naturally understood and advised, "Pei Zhuo molested Su Xinyan in public. I'm afraid there were many people there, not to mention Xiao Muyao was also there. Chen'er should be punished according to his crime!"

That means.
  Kill Pei Zhuo!
  Ning Lichen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but only for a moment, he said coldly: "Pei Zhuo is Pei Pingqiu's legitimate youngest son. He has a son at an old age, and he loves him very much."

The Queen slapped the table and said displeasedly: "He is just a commoner. If you want me to die, I have to die. How dare he complain!"

Ning Lichen waved his hands and said, "I don't dare to complain, but it's hard to express resentment!"

He walked slowly and thought deeply: "Pei Pingqiu has had close contact with me over the years. There will be... no traces of him!"

The queen was surprised: "You mean, he still dares to leave evidence?"

"I guess there will be an account book!" Ning Lichen squinted his eyes and said: "Killing Pei Zhuo will create a rift with the Pei family. If someone with intentions takes advantage of it in the future,"

But if Pei Zhuo is not killed,
  Ning Lichen suddenly showed his murderous intention.

Su Xinsheng's identity was known to everyone. In public, Pei Zhuo molested Su Xinshen, but he saved him...

Wouldn’t it make the world laugh out loud!

How could he, the current prince, have any face?

"This..." The queen became more and more embarrassed, and said with a hint of blame: "When the Shen family happened... you insisted on supporting the Pei family, but now it seems that you have raised a pack of white-eyed wolves!"

Pei Fu is their dog, but now, the owner is still wary of whether the dog will bite him back. What's the point?
  When the Shen Mansion was mentioned, something flashed in Ning Lichen's eyes, and disappeared in just a moment.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and said, "What does the Queen think of Su Qingmo?"

"Su Qingmo?!" The queen said in shock.

Prime Minister's House.

Maple Courtyard.

"Not dead... actually not dead..."

Su Xinsheng stayed up all night, her eyes were red from crying, and seeing Lan Tao's reply, she felt even more heartbroken.

"How could he not die...how could this happen?"

She asked Lan Tao to go out to investigate, but the response she got was that Pei Zhuo had not been beheaded, and was still locked up in the dungeon of Jingzhao Yin Mansion!
  How can it be!

Pei Zhuo was teasing her and many people saw it. Only by killing him can the matter be over and her innocence can be preserved!
  Since His Highness already knows, why... why haven't you killed Pei Zhuo yet?

Why! Why!

for a long time…

"Ah!" Su Xinsheng grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it out, shouting.

‘Bang’, it fell to pieces.

Lan Tao trembled in fright, lowered her head and did not dare to move.

Su Xinyan sat on the bed, clutching the brocade quilt tightly, her fingers turned white, and her expression was cruel. After a while, she said coldly: "Bring Wisteria!"

Su Qingmo!
  all because of you!
  You should die! You should be dead long ago!
  After hearing this, Lan Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to Bikongyuan as if she had been granted amnesty.

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Ning Zhan was holding a feather and teasing the blue parrot in front of him. The parrot pecked the feathers from time to time, and kept shouting: "Hail, Your Highness, Sixth Highness, Blessings, Your Highness!"

Unlike Ning Yu, whose face was full of anger, Ning Zhan was not bad, with a face like a peach petal and a face like a powder, and he really looked like a pampered nobleman.

Standing behind him was a man in blue. He was dressed in commoners, elegant, and had a scholarly aura about him. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a member of the court.

After a long time, Ning Zhan put down his feathers, sat down and said, "Wen Rui, are you really so optimistic about this marriage?"

Ning Zhan always felt a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, your highness. Although your highness has no sister, it is a blessing in disguise! When the snipe and the clam compete, your highness will be able to reap the benefits!"

Ping Wenrui was Ning Zhan's counselor. Without him, Ning Zhan would not have been able to fight to this day without Ning Lichen's strong mother's family and title of prince, and without Ning Yu's resourcefulness and ruthlessness.

Ping Wenrui said: "No matter who comes to get married, His Highness just needs to kill him and then blame the other party..."

In the end, neither of the two princesses can hope to marry Beiqi!
  Ning Zhan nodded, then he thought of something and suddenly asked: "By the way, Wen Rui, do you know how to please a woman?"

"What?" Ping Wenrui didn't seem to understand.

Ning Zhan waved his hands in disgust and said, "That's all, even if I ask a nerd like you, you don't understand!"

He crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Behind Su Qingmo is the Ningguo Palace. How could we miss such a beautiful woman!"

Ping Wenrui suddenly realized that on the day when the daughter-in-law of the Su family returned to Beijing, the city was filled with storms and earth-shattering news!

"Su Qingmo made such a big fuss on her first day back in Beijing. This woman seems to be..." Ping Wenrui said doubtfully, "It's not simple!"

"Of course it's not simple! How can Xia Zong's adopted daughter be simple!" Ning Zhan obviously didn't understand what Ping Wenrui meant.

Ping Wenrui shook his head and said: "Xia Zongshan is high and the water is far away, so it is of no use! But that day, less than half a day after Su Qingmo returned to Beijing, the city was in an uproar. The news spread so quickly that it was shocking!"

After hearing this, Ning Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

Ping Wenrui said: "It's unusual enough that even Mr. Xiao, who has unpredictable thoughts, went to congratulate him. Besides, how can those in the Prime Minister's Mansion be so simple?"

The prince was also there at the time, so Su Xinsheng probably managed to drive Su Qingmo away through the prince's love and protection.

But the prince didn't respond, and Su Yuanhe had nothing to do. Su Qingmo just stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was so easy, no one dared to stop him!

even
  She was welcomed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by all the nobles in the capital!

Ping Wenrui said: "In my opinion, Su Qingmo is not a simple girl!"

The implication is that it has nothing to do with Xia Zong!
  'Snapped'! As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Zhan clapped his thigh and said, "What you say makes sense! What you say makes sense! So, this Su Qingmo, this palace should marry back to the palace! Both Ning Guo Gongfu and Su Qingmo need to be married to this palace. !Ha ha ha ha".

After hearing this, Ping Wenrui frowned slightly and sighed in his heart, what His Highness the Sixth Prince thought was too simple!
  Su Qingmo was once engaged to the prince, but she was indifferent to the prince that day, let alone the sixth prince's house!

And Su Yuanhe is not a fool. If his two daughters marry two princes, wouldn't both parties be offended?
  Ping Wenrui lamented in his heart, if he was not talented but not appreciated by Bole, how could he be by Ning Zhan's side?
  Ning Yu is the most like the current His Majesty among the princes. Unfortunately, it is precisely because he resembles His Majesty's ruthlessness and wolfish ambition that His Majesty dislikes him the most!

If you follow Ning Yu, you will inevitably end up in a dead end.

And Prince Ning Lichen
  As a prince, his mother's clan is strong and he doesn't look down on himself at all!

Alas, I only hope that with his help, His Highness the Sixth Prince will eventually become something great, and he will be able to achieve great success, and his years of hard study will be worth it!

Day two.

Early in the morning.

Su Qingmo was standing in the courtyard when Jin Xia reported back: "Miss, the envoy from Beiqi will arrive in Beijing within six days!"

Su Qingmo still looked at the plum blossoms in front of her and said, "There must be some movement in the palace in the past two days!"

"Miss." Jinxia asked.

"Queen!" Su Qingmo said.

Once the Beiqi envoy enters Beijing, he will most likely be received by Ning Lichen. By then, the whole of Yanning will be busy with the marriage. Just talking about the selection of relatives is enough to keep all the forces busy.

Ning Lichen naturally had no intention of dealing with other matters, including
  His position as the royal concubine!

He must decide on the matter of establishing a concubine before the envoy from Beiqi comes to Beijing!

Because of Qingfeng's incident and his relationship with Xia Zong, Ning Lichen will inevitably start to waver whether he should marry Su Xinsheng...
  Or yourself!

He will naturally listen to the Queen's opinion! Within three days, the Queen will definitely take action!
  When
  Su Qingmo lowered her eyes, the rare tenderness in her beautiful eyes flashed away, and whispered: "Then you can see her."

When he raised his eyes again, his emotions faded, and he looked at the plum blossoms again.

Jin Xia asked in confusion: "Miss, why do you keep staring at this plum blossom?"

Su Qingmo looked at Jinxia with a smile and joked: "Jinxia, ​​can't you smell the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

Jinxia curled her lips, moved closer, and smelled the plum blossoms.

Frowning, he sniffed again.

After a while, her expression changed drastically: "Miss, there is something wrong with this plum blossom!"

Su Qingmo's medical skills are superb, but her poison skills are even better!

Jinxia has been exposed to it for many years, and she knows a little bit about it. The fragrance of plum blossoms at the moment is obviously abnormal!
  Su Qingmo slowly raised her lips and said softly: "Erotic Skin Powder".

As the name suggests, Ero Skin Powder has a light fragrance. After being inhaled into the body, the skin will begin to peel and ulcerate in just a few days, and scabs will heal, but...

It keeps rotting, scabbing, and falling off, then rotting, scabbing, and falling off again, over and over again, until it no longer looks like a human and it bleeds endlessly.

He was helpless and died in pain.

"Su Xinsheng is not very young, but he has a lot of ruthless tricks!" Jin Xia gritted her teeth.

Su Qingmo said quietly: "She hates me so much right now, so naturally she uses whatever evil means she wants."

What Su Qingmo said was true. Su Xinyan asked Ziteng to scatter the skin in the Blue Sky Courtyard. She couldn't wait to see Su Qingmo covered in abscesses, stench, bloody, and looking like neither human nor ghost.

"It's a pity that this medicine is used by the wrong person," Su Qingmo said quietly, raised her hand, and sprinkled a handful of powder mist. The peach blossoms in front of her eyes swayed slightly, and the original tranquility was restored.

As expected, Su Qingmo was not disappointed. Soon a message came from the palace that the Queen would host a flower appreciation banquet tomorrow and invited the two young ladies of the Su Mansion to go with her.

After receiving the order, Su Qingmo curled her lips and smiled. Tomorrow, it won't be so peaceful!
  At this time, the western suburbs of the capital.

Qingyun Village.

Qingyun Village is a village on the north side of the capital. Although it is very ordinary, it is in the name of the current prince, Ning Lichen.

At this time, Ning Lichen was sitting in the room, his expression showing no signs of joy or anger.

There was a person standing at the bottom, wearing an apricot-colored gown. It was easy to tell that the material was extremely expensive Sichuan wood brocade, and his face was very anxious.

"Your Highness, I was short-sighted and did not recognize Miss Su Er. This is why I made a big mistake. This is because I have been spoiled by ordinary people!"

The man said heartbrokenly: "If Your Highness wants to punish me, let me punish the common people! I just hope that Your Highness can spare my life!"

This person is Pei Pingqiu.

Ning Lichen was still sitting there, his face unmoved, and he had no intention of speaking.

When Pei Pingqiu saw this, he didn't know what Ning Lichen meant, and he became even more anxious.

"Your Highness, grassman"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Ning Lichen actually smiled: "Pei Pingqiu, Pei Pingqiu, what you said is too serious. There is no such thing as life. This palace has always been kind to others. Why did you let you say that you are cold-blooded and ruthless?" Where are the people!”

When Pei Pingqiu heard this, he was a little confused. He tried and said: "What does your highness mean?"

Ning Lichen said: "This palace has no intention of marrying Su Xinchan, so how can we deal with Pei Zhuo? What's more, it is not our palace who captured Pei Zhuo into the Jingzhao Yin Mansion!"

"Aren't you planning to marry Second Miss Su?!" Pei Pingqiu said in surprise.

But it wasn't before...

Suddenly, Pei Pingqiu suddenly realized.

A few days ago, Miss Na Su returned home in great glory. Could it be that Your Highness...
  Also, not to mention the concubine, Su Qingmo is now the adopted daughter of Ning Guogong, so it is not surprising that His Highness has thoughts of establishing a separate family!
  Just as Pei Pingqiu was thinking about it, he heard Ning Lichen say displeasedly: "It's better not to know what you shouldn't know!"

Pei Pingqiu was startled and said quickly: "Of course, your Highness's thoughts are beyond the reach of ordinary people! What about this kid?"

If Su Xinsheng was not the Crown Princess, then this matter would be much simpler!
  Ning Lichen said: "It was Pei Zhuo's unlucky fate that he fell into Xiao Muyao's hands. If this palace directly ordered his release, wouldn't it mean that he was risking Xiao Muyao's face?"

Pei Pingqiu said yes again and again, and he also understood that Xiao Muyao was by no means a good person. It was a troubled time now, and His Highness naturally did not want to be an enemy of Xiao Muyao.

"Let Pei Zhuo stay for another five days. After five days, if Xiao Muyao calms down about the matter, we will release him!" Ning Lichen said.

"This" Pei Pingqiu frowned after hearing this and said with some distress: "Five days is a bit much, isn't it?"

Since Su Xinyi is not the crown princess, then Zhuoer has nothing wrong at all. He just mistook Su Xinyi for a brothel girl, not to mention...

If she was a good person, could she go to Chu Shuang'er to ask for advice on such matters? !

If he is detained for another five days, how much suffering will his son suffer!

Ning Lichen narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "Pei Zhuo is in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Qiu Cheng will not wrong him, but if this matter makes Xiao Muyao unhappy and something goes wrong, don't blame this palace for not reminding him you!"

Pei Pingqiu was excited after hearing this, remembering Xiao Muyao's last corruption investigation...

The Pei family worked for the palace and made a lot of money in the past five years. If Xiao Muyao wanted to investigate him,
  The consequences could be disastrous!

Then, he hurriedly said: "What your Highness said is that the common people are confused! Just according to what Your Highness said, five days."

Pei Pingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Just five days!"

Ning Lichen waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Pei Pingqiu nodded repeatedly and said: "Thank you, Your Highness. The common people will leave!"

It wasn't until Pei Pingqiu left Qingyun Villa that Ning Lichen slowly stood up and walked to the window. His eyes became colder and his murderous intent gradually emerged.

Pei Pingqiu dared to make terms with himself even though the human heart was so incompetent!

These two idiots, Pei Zhuo and Su Xinyan, had made him lose face, but now he had to endure it for the sake of the overall situation!
  With a 'pop' sound, Ning Lichen slapped his palm on the table angrily. The force was so strong that the whole table shook.

Day two.

The twilight has just arrived, passing through the window, and the red beam of light shines on the Maple Leaf Yard, which is not very gentle.

In the past few days, Su Xinsheng finally had a peaceful sleep.

The Queen is hosting a banquet today, and His Highness will definitely be present. It is not the flower-viewing season, but the Empress is hosting a banquet to appreciate flowers. She obviously has ulterior motives!

If His Highness doesn't believe in me, he could break the marriage or not allow himself to attend the banquet, but he still invites me to the palace now, then it is most likely.
  There have been too many rumors recently. Your Highness must protect yourself in public and clarify the rumors!

Today's flower viewing feast is clearly designed for her!

So she got up early today and had a good time dressing up!
  She wants everyone to understand that she is the unique Crown Princess and no one can replace her!
  Su Xinyan got into the carriage with her pink makeup. After waiting for a long time, Su Qingmo came over. She was still wearing the same white clothes and a jade hairpin.
  Wearing a veil!

Su Xin was confused for a moment.

She originally thought that Su Qingmo would be a fan and apply Zhu, but now she could only show her face, and she actually used her face to show her face.
  Covered?
  "Sister, this is it," Su Xinsheng said tentatively.

Su Qingmo said casually: "Maybe I didn't adapt well to the plum blossom bath last night, and I got some rashes."

"Plum blossom bath?" Su Xinyan exclaimed.

Then she realized that she had lost her composure, so she pretended to be worried and said, "But those plum blossoms in your yard?"

Su Qingmo nodded and said, "I have always had the habit of taking flower baths. Seeing the plum blossoms in full bloom in the yard, I asked Jinxia to pick some for bathing."

Su Xinyuan almost clapped her hands after hearing this. If she hadn't held back, she would have laughed out loud.

That plum blossom, she let Wisteria sprinkle a lot of skin eclipse powder, Su Qingmo, Su Qingmo, you actually
  Take it for a bath!

Hahaha.

If this man is seeking death, no one can stop him!

"Maybe it's because of Tianqian's irritability. It would be better if I soaked it a few more times," Su Xin said with a smile.

Su Qingmo, Su Qingmo, what is this? In a few days, your face will look like this
  Not to mention a veil, even if you wear a curtain hat, it can't cover it!

Just wait until you become neither human nor ghost!

In the Imperial Garden.

The rays reflect the clouds, the ground is covered with flowers, the orioles are noisy, and the beauties are murmuring.

Because Su Qingmo arrived late, people in their clothes had already gathered in the imperial garden, talking in groups.

When the two of them approached, no one knew whether it was because of Su Qingmo or Su Xinba, but everyone looked over. For a moment, everything was silent except for the chirping of warblers.
