Chapter 169 Special Chapter Finale 1 (4000 words)
The orphan of King Shao ascended the throne, and the seventh prince regented.

Almost everyone believed that this was Jun Huaimu's scheme, and that the new emperor was just a puppet who would not live for a few years.

Therefore, outside Prince Huai's mansion, the officials courting and presenting gifts became more blatant. From the hour of the day, there was an endless stream of cars coming and going, making the palace seem deserted.

Just as the common people sighed that Qingxiao was about to die, the imperial decrees were issued one after another.

First of all, several of the most craziest ministers in the past were dismissed from their posts and ransacked their homes, which meant killing chickens and monkeys.

Then a new law was promulgated to target corrupt officials with strict regulations.

At the same time, those courtiers who had been squeezed out and exiled by King Huai returned to Beijing one after another, instead of dying in exile as everyone predicted.

Afterwards, I don't know what method Jun Huaimu used to invite back three old ministers who were far away from power disputes, and appointed them as Gu Ming Ministers to assist the four-year-old little emperor together.

As for Marquis Xuanwu, he voluntarily handed over his military power and completely became an idle Marquis, trying to block everyone's mouths and avoid doubts.

The situation gradually became clear, and in just a few months, the palace underwent earth-shaking changes.

If you want to gain a foothold, you must do things in a down-to-earth manner. If you continue to obey others and try to take advantage of loopholes, you will usually end up miserable.

After all, in terms of traitors and sycophants, the current king regent can be regarded as the best in the world, and playing tricks in front of him is simply a trick.

The main room of Prince Huai's Mansion.

The young man is dressed in azure blue brocade robe, with four-clawed glass dragons embroidered with silver thread on the skirt and neckline, which is noble and proud.

He didn't look at the person on the lower left, lowered his eyelids, and said lightly:

"Handling serious cases for nearly ten years, you told me that it will take half a year? It seems that the house is not comfortable enough, and we need to change places. Come here, pick a spacious and bright cell in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and send Chen Shangshu and all the files to him. go in."

"My lord! My lord, spare me—" Chen Hai was startled, and slid off the wide chair with a plop.

"What do you want me to do with your life? Don't worry, you won't be able to afford food and clothing. I believe that Lord Chen will be able to settle everything and give the emperor and the people a satisfactory answer before the ceremony begins."

"There are only two more months left, sir..."

"Too much? That's one month."

"Not much, not much! Two months is two months, I hope the prince will show mercy!"

"Well, Lord Shangshu, please don't break your promise. If after the grand ceremony is over, you still bother me with these old things, at that time..." He curled his lips into a sinister smile.

"Don't dare." Chen Hai repeatedly begged for mercy, and then sensitively caught a trace of information, and asked cautiously, "After two or three months, is there any important thing to do, my lord? A meager force..."

He got up, twirled the jade pendant with his left thumb, and said leisurely, "Congratulations."

Hou Fu's kitchen.

Standing on tiptoe, Yun Jiuqing placed the dim sum in the steamer on the plate one by one.

Dong'er was very surprised: "Miss, why is it not lotus root starch osmanthus cake?"

She paused, and said in a bad mood: "I won't do that in the future, he likes to eat or not."

If I hadn't overheard the conversation yesterday, I would have been kept in the dark.

No wonder a big man likes this kind of soft and glutinous food, so he is missing someone.

Although he has not met any old friends over the years, the fact that he has other women hidden in his heart cannot be erased.

In case one day, they meet again...

Looking at her preoccupied face, Qing Yi who was carrying an empty food box lost her mind and said hesitantly:

"Miss, do you want to pretend? The prince is urging..."

"What's the reminder, other people's fingers don't touch Yangchun water, for fear of being hurt and scalded, but he is good, he always wants me to cook and learn some special dishes." The more I thought about it, the more angry I was, I put down the porcelain plate heavily, "Hmph, it really was caught The one you prefer is confident and will not be hurt or favored at all!"

Dong'er didn't understand why Miss was throwing a temper tantrum for no reason, so she said dully: "Didn't you say that after so many things, you have already confirmed the prince's feelings for you..."

"But he never made it clear." He pursed his lips and muttered, "Every time he looks like a joke, who knows how much is true and how much is not."

Humans are greedy after all.

When you are particularly anxious, you want to get verbal reassurance.

She has said so many times that she likes her, and she also hopes to hear him seriously respond once.

"Go to the palace." She picked up her skirt and ran outside.

No matter what, we must discuss an explanation today.

"Hey, wait, servant girl!"

Dong'er hurriedly pulled Qing Yi up, and followed closely behind.

She walked into the study unimpeded all the way, looking around, there were several piles of paperwork on the huge table, the man was buried in it, Eunuch Xu rolled up his sleeves and rubbed ink aside, two eunuchs were busy Tidy up.

Seeing this, she hesitated.

This person is so diligent for the country, it seems that his behavior is a bit unreasonable.

He didn't look up, and he knew who was coming, his left hand was still holding on to Zihao Jishu, and he said casually: "It's so slow."

After approving a book, I took a moment to glance at her, and saw her blankly, quite dissatisfied: "Where's my sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Which pot does not open, which pot to lift.

Her mind became hot, and she blurted out: "I'm not good at cooking, why do I always have to make fun of it, is it fun to treat me like a maid?"

"Maid?" He frowned.

"That's all for playing around in the past." She said angrily, "Now it's getting worse, delivering snacks in the afternoon, and asking me to cook a side dish at Haishi..."

"Isn't this what a woman should do?" Feng Mou was puzzled, and her face was taken for granted, "My husband has worked hard, sending snacks to satisfy his appetite, and preparing supper at night to reward me, and I have to sew some underwear for me in the future." If I don’t let you do the shirt, do you want other women to show their courteousness?”

With her eyes wide open, she coughed violently: "Mother, lady..."

"Don't like this kind of title? The princess? Madame?" He negotiated and gave two other options.

Her cheeks were full of red, she shyly said: "When did you mention that you want to marry... and when did I promise that you will marry..."

Ducks in July and a half have a hard mouth.

Seeing through the joy and anticipation in his almond eyes, he sighed almost inaudibly, and put down the Zihao.

Eunuch Xu understood, and immediately led the attendants out, and closed the door intimately.

The tall figure approached, and with a light push, the petite person was hugged and sat on the table, trapped between his arms.

As if going back to that evening many years ago, she fell into his trap and never escaped.

The difference is that the girl finally grows into a slim girl who can do whatever she wants.

"Miss Four pleases this king very much." His eyes were deep, like the vast stars that have been crushed, "You have succeeded, and you are the only one who has succeeded. The seventh concubine must belong to Miss."

She gasped.

These words, as far as his temperament is concerned, are equivalent to a confession.

"So Qingqing." The deep voice contained a hint of hoarseness, "Do you want to agree to marry me as your wife?"

She admits that she is very unpromising.

Facing him like this, there is no power to parry at all.

Little tempers and emotions disappeared in an instant, and all eyes were filled with only a picturesque handsome face.

"Yes!" She rushed over, stretched her arms around her thin and narrow waist, her hot cheek pressed against her warm chest, and moaned, "But you have to promise that you will not eat lotus root starch osmanthus cake in the future, and you will not... miss that little fairy! "

"Little fairy?" He couldn't help laughing, "Indeed, like a fox cub, pure and charming."

The girl suddenly exploded with anger: "Let me tell you, it's not necessarily good when you're young, and it's definitely not as good-looking as me now!"

He smiled without saying a word, tilted his head and gently kissed the cute little dimple.

She bit her thin lip back as if venting her anger, and said relentlessly, "Are you going to agree or not!"

"I'll promise you after we get married."

"You..." After holding back for a long time, he burst out an old saying, "Big villain!"

He raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "But you like me bad, don't you?"

"……"shameless.

The two lingered for a while, and he continued to deal with political affairs resignedly.

After all, if you want to get married on time, the promise must be fulfilled as soon as possible.

She didn't stay to disturb, and quietly closed the door and left.

Dong'er stepped forward, seeing the master's gloomy and sunny face, and jokingly said, "This servant knows that the prince will definitely have a way to make you smile."

"Stop talking!" She scolded with a smile, "Help me think about what kind of soup can replenish qi and blood and relieve fatigue."

Hearing this, Qing Yi who was on the side interjected: "There is a secret meal recipe in my servant's hometown, the nourishing effect is very obvious, and the taste is also good."

"Great, teach me how to do it!"

"Yes, ma'am."

She was happy in herself, but never noticed the viciousness that flashed across Qingyi's eyes.

Finally the time has come.

Sister Xiaoyu, Yi'er will avenge you, so that Jun Huaimu will not end well.

At Xushi the next day, Yun Jiuqing knocked on the door of the study excitedly with a food box in hand.

While scooping up the soup, she claimed credit: "It has been boiled for several hours. I tasted it when the pot was boiling, and it was delicious."

"Well, Wang Po's melons are usually the sweetest."

"Brother Mu!" Xing Xing stared.

He sighed helplessly: "Stop shouting, isn't your elder brother Mu trying to drink?"

"Reluctantly?"

Thinking about it, if you bully her ten times, she should be pampered once, otherwise the little girl will be turned upside down.

Taking another sip, he feigned surprise and said:

"You really did it?"

"Of course, from selecting the ingredients to preparing the pot, I did it myself, and Qingyi just gave me pointers." She raised her chin proudly.

"Well, she looks like a little daughter-in-law."

"what the hell……"

Outside the window, the night is hazy.

Inside the room, the candlelight danced and was reflected in his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Only she can see the rare tenderness and warmth.

Smiling in a trance, it's great to spend the rest of my life with this man.

At midnight that night, Zhai Shao received an urgent message and sneaked into Prince Huai's mansion.

Checked the pulse, took out a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it into the soup bowl, observed for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"Fate Gu, a long-lost forbidden technique in Miaojiang."

He shivered: "Go to the Hou's mansion to check, she also drank."

Zhai Shao shook his head: "Don't worry, life Gu, as the name suggests, trades one life for another, so the person who casts the Gu must be very careful to ensure that only the person who wants to kill will be convinced, and the Gu technique will be activated. It should be Miss Jiuqing. Knowing that you are undefended against her, at this moment, that person may have been backlashed and died suddenly."

"Master!" Mu Shan yelled in horror.

"You're not that fast." Zhai Shao sighed, "This is exactly the viciousness of this Gu, the person who cast the Gu will be cured once and for all, but the person who is caught by the Gu will be tortured and cannot reverse his life to detoxify, so he can only find another way. "

The atmosphere inside the house was suffocatingly quiet.

After a long time, his calm voice sounded: "Ah Shan, find the corpse and clean it up. Also, don't let Fourth Miss know what happened tonight. If anyone makes a slip of the tongue, they will be punished with their lives."

The attendant was surprised, but he didn't question it, and replied with a sob: "Yes."

"Zhai Shao." He smiled faintly, feeling like he was feeling self-deprecating, "I have never wanted to live so much, please."

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that after tasting the sweetness of two people, they walk on the bitter road to hell alone.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held smoothly, and the chaotic government gradually got back on track.

One morning, the regent asked to relieve most of the heavy responsibilities, and the three assistant ministers blew their beards and stared, but they had no choice but to watch the insolent figure go away.

Duke Huai had been a good prince who worked diligently and cared for the people for three or four months, but he returned to the past overnight.

Instead, he changed his interest, instead of plotting against his courtiers, he transformed himself into a wealthy rich man.

Drinking and having fun all day long, visiting flower houses for fun.

When Yun Jiuqing heard these rumors, she didn't believe it, thinking that it was the person who offended someone again, which caused her bad reputation.

But thinking about his strange reaction recently, I decided to give some care.

So, taking advantage of Erniang's absence, she threw away the half-embroidered mandarin duck playing water pillow towel and sneaked out over the wall.

Along the way, imagining his obviously happy but pretending indifferent appearance, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Miss Si, my master is at...the waterside pavilion."

She didn't care about Mu Shan's evasive words, and hurried over with her skirt.

You have to go back quickly, otherwise you will be reprimanded by your father for meeting too often before the wedding.

Touching the lotus feet lightly, he swept into the back garden, wondering why the guards retreated to guard outside the garden, and the sound of ambiguous conversations came to his ears.

"My lord, how are you..." Jiao Didi whispered.

"I'll let you try something even worse later, huh?"

"It's not dark yet..."

"Then will you give it or not?"

"My slave... ah!"

Seeing a black shadow intruding, the beauty was so frightened that she quickly pulled up the tulle to cover her white and tender body, and tried her best to get into the man's arms.

"Brother Mu..."

Yun Jiuqing stared blankly at this fragrant scene, murmured unconsciously.

She still can't react.

Although she hasn't really broken herself yet, she is no longer an ignorant girl, and she understands what they are talking about and doing.

And what does all of this mean.

"Here we come." He didn't feel the panic after being knocked out, he still hugged the disheveled woman, his big hands lingered on his slender waist, and asked with raised eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

She bit the tip of her tongue, forced herself to calm down, strode forward, bumped away from the delicate beauty, rushed towards him, and whispered: "Are you playing?"

Smile and gloom flashed across the black eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

He picked up the blue hair with his fingers that still smelled of fat and powder, sniffed it, and said with a light smile: "Qingqing, I am the regent king under one person and above ten thousand people, who else needs to play for me? You know, I am the last Tired of you, thinking you're smart, hehe...it's boring."

"No...interesting?" she repeated like a parrot.

He raised his hand and pushed her away, and said impatiently: "Simply put, this king found that you are no different from other women, so it's not interesting, so it's time for a change. Just in time, so as not to get married, have some unrealistic fantasies, and try to hinder this king from having fun."

Her apricot eyes were filled with confusion, and her eye sockets were flushed. She laughed suddenly, and shook her head while laughing: "No, you're not Brother Mu, no...you're lying...I don't believe it!"

She ran away without looking back, as if there was a scourge behind her.

The shadow guard knocked the oiran unconscious and dragged it away, the water pavilion returned to silence, and the surrounding veils swayed silently with the gust of wind.

He stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, Zhai Shao's words that night echoed in his ears:
"At first, it's the same, but gradually, you will lose your memory, and at the same time, your internal energy will be exhausted, and you will gradually become exhausted. In the later stage, you will gradually forget everything about the past, including the most painful memories and... the person you love the most. It's when the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, that way, probably...not very pretty."

Two months have passed, and Zhai Shao has not returned, which means there is no hope.

And he began to show the expected symptoms. After all, he had to make some arrangements.

The world is full of flowers, and she really is more suitable for laughing.

Let him taste the taste of loneliness alone.

 PS: Qingyi is Xiaoyu's friend. As mentioned earlier, Xiaoyu is the fourth prince's woman, and the relationship between the couple ended in abuse
