Rich and wishful

Chapter 85

Almost overnight, the reputation of the nine princesses among the people declined rapidly.

The people of the state of Zhou ended years of war with the king who was able to capture the Solo state alive, so that the court no longer needed to increase taxes, and the great hero Liu Heng, who allowed his father, brother, and nephew to return home from the battlefield, still admired and respected him a lot. of.

Many people were grateful for his kindness and even set up longevity tablets for him at home.

And the nine princesses who are most favored by the emperor dare to bully the only lady of the Duke of Zhenguo in such a public way, it can't help but make people imagine again and again.Suspicions that various emperors actually disliked and feared Duke Zhen began to spread.

Secretly, most of the famous families in the capital disdain Princess Jiu for what she did, and the discussions behind her back are all about taking the opportunity to make fun of her.In other words, in fact, Princess Nine loves to attend the banquets of various families, and likes to put on a show to be complimented by others. If she is not happy, she will look for opportunities to bully others, which has already aroused many people's dissatisfaction.It's just that due to her status as a royal princess, no one dared to speak out.At this time, she finally kicked the iron board, and the news that she was beaten in the face instead of being successful in bullying was naturally exciting.

Today's emperor has spies everywhere, well-informed, and many news are known very quickly.Not long after the incident happened, he received a secret report that Liu Yue was embarrassed by the ninth princess, Han Ni tried his best to stop him but insisted on his own opinion.Later, he knew all about making a fool of himself in the garden of King Qi.

At first he just thought it was a kid messing around, and he didn't take it seriously.

When the public opinion in the capital overwhelmingly blamed Princess Jiu, and many people even secretly suspected that he was the one who could not suppress the news about Liu Heng, the emperor asked someone to investigate again, but no one was found. However, she inadvertently figured out that the reason why Princess Jiu disliked Liu Yue was only because of a set of jewelry.Jin Shangdeng suddenly dropped a white jade Jiulong cup that he likes to use frequently.From the bottom of my heart, I was very disappointed in this daughter that I had pampered since childhood.

Today, the emperor directly decreed to cancel the privilege of the nine princesses to go out to the palace for banquets.He also restrained her feet, and asked her to stay in her own palace and meditate behind closed doors for half a year. The news that the nine princesses were like thunder, they couldn't believe it.She immediately wanted to rush out of her bedroom to ask her father, how dare those eunuchs, servants and palace maids make her resist the order.So he pulled, hugged, lifted, coaxed and lied to calm her down without mentioning it.

Not only the nine princesses were grounded, but even concubine Shu was implicated and reprimanded by the emperor.

What the emperor thought was that Concubine Shu had become more and more arrogant over the years, so it would be good to take this opportunity to cold her for ten days and a half months as a warning.

Yi On Palace.

After being reprimanded by the emperor, Concubine Shu severely dropped a lot of decorations and tea sets.Instead of blaming her daughter, she blamed Liu Yue for all her faults.Having been favored for many years, the current emperor has not established a queen, and almost all the power in the palace is in her hands.In this harem, she is the only one, and she has long taken it for granted.She didn't hide it now, and sneered directly.

"That damned girl is so wicked at such a young age, and even though she is a good painter, she still lied to my Jiu'er that she only learned a little bit. It's really hateful. Next time I will call her into the palace. Look, how many exquisite hearts does she have?"

Concubine Shu's words were quickly passed on as important information by the hidden piles buried in the palace at Mumao Villa.

The person in charge of sorting out the information did not dare to ignore it, and hastily passed on the original words of this passage to Liu Heng and An Ruyi.The eldest lady is missed by the empress in power in the palace. If it is not taken seriously, what if there is an emergency?It is related to the safety of the eldest lady in the mansion, and no one dares to be careless.

Seeing the news from the palace, An Ruyi was so confused, she shouted that she should just use her spiritual sense to lock Concubine Shu and give her a happy ending.Liu Heng also snorted coldly.But anyway, he still had reason, so he quickly stopped An Ruyi.

As cultivators, if they directly kill mortals, the power of the thunder disaster they will encounter will be many times greater. Although in their current situation, it is really hopeless that they can practice until the calamity, but the world is unpredictable He is not willing to plant a hidden danger for the future of the two of them just because of this.

"Don't be impatient, lady. Although it will be fun, it will be too cheap for her, and it will not be good for us."

Originally, he thought that the punishment given by the emperor to Concubine Shu's mother and daughter was enough, and he planned not to worry about it any further.But he really underestimated their stupidity.In that case, why should he show mercy to them?
"Then what do you want to do?" An Ruyi pouted dissatisfiedly.It's a shame to want to attack their baby girl.

"Do you still remember the girl we rescued who looked very similar?" Liu Heng smiled mysteriously.

"...Well, it's that girl from the Yang family?" An Ruyi turned her head and thought for a while, then asked doubtfully, "You're talking about Concubine Shu, why are you mentioning her?"

"It's about Concubine Shu. In fact, you don't know that Concubine Shu has been favored for so many years because of her appearance." Liu Heng combed An Ruyi's long hair with his hands, and his face was full of pampering.

When getting along in private, An Ruyi was very impatient with combing her hair in a bun, most of them were directly loose, or simply tied her hair, and fixed things with a hairpin.One of Liu Heng's favorite things to do is to help her straighten her hair with his hands.

"Being a favorite concubine, of course, depends on her appearance. What's so strange about it?" An Ruyi said with a natural expression. Isn't this nonsense? Doesn't Concubine Shu rely on her appearance to be favored by her knowledge?

"There are many women in the palace who are much more beautiful than Concubine Shu. Although Concubine Shu is good-looking, she is not the most beautiful. The biggest reason why she has been favored for many years is actually that she has a deputy who looks as good as the current emperor's Empress Yuan." There are three or four similar looks."

"You mean to say that Concubine Shu looks very similar to Queen Yuan, the queen mother of King Qi?"

An Ruyi opened her eyes wide. She didn't collect much information about King Qi's birth mother, but only got a general understanding.People have been dead for so many years, she still has to understand why so clearly.But it seems that she missed something?
"Correct."

Since Liu Heng already knew that he could only stand on the side of King Qi in the future, and he had the help of Mumao Villa at his hand, of course he would thoroughly investigate all aspects of the Seventh Prince.So it is normal to know more.

"Nowadays, the affection for Empress Yuan is very deep. That's why the Empress Yuan died in order to give birth to the Seventh Prince, and now she even wants to vent her anger on her own son. It's just that it was the son of his most beloved woman after all, so he didn't care about it at all. The method is really ruthless and really ignores it. At that time, the person who seemed to ignore him on the face of the day actually sent secret guards to protect him. Otherwise, how could the Seventh Prince have the opportunity to be so cruel in the palace? grew up in a safe environment.”

"When the Empress Yuan went there, I still suspected that someone was murdering her. After a thorough investigation, it was found that at least half of the empress Yuan's dystocia was caused by man-made accidents. This is because the palace was completely bloody cleaned once. All the people who were involved in the slightest were dealt with by Imago who was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Therefore, there are almost no people in the palace who still remember the appearance of the Yuan Dynasty. But there is one person in our Mumao Villa The memory of the Yuan Dynasty is profound."

"Who is it?" An Ruyi was really curious.
