The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff

Chapter 2.1: QueenThe pure aesthetics of violence is based on extreme brutality and bloodshed. Huo Shijun saw with his own eyes that the assassin was pierced through the trachea with the palm of the weak-looking woman, and only then did he realize that she was indeed the head of the Xie family一the female devil who is also known as Qingjiang Taoji in Jianghu.

There was silence in the hall, only the sound of her was left.

"This person is useless, just a clown jumping on beams, nothing to brag about."

Xie Yu took a handkerchief and wiped the blood on her hands lightly. Her eyes seemed peaceful, but they had hidden sharpness. She looked at Qi Liangye and smiled soothingly.

"Your Highness should rest assured about the strength of my Xie family this time."

The moment when the assassin came, Xie Yu knew that the assassin was purely there to spy on her strength.

It has long been known that this crown prince is not as easy to get along with as rumored, but she still didn't expect that he would test her in such a direct way and gave her a "big gift" on the first day.

The man(cp) was in a very happy mood. The blood in the hall didn't stimulate him. He took up the teacup and gave Xie Yu a cup of respect, "Patriarch Xie is unparalleled in strength."

This is the real recognition.

Huo Shijun looked at the corpse that was slowly being dragged away on the ground, and the bloodstains that were left are terrifying, the throbbing in his heart was still not calmed.

The crown prince sips tea and lightly opens his lips:

"Master Xie, have you ever heard of the flood in Pingzhou?"

Xie Yu, who was next to him, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the fine and delicate braids on her head were attached to the back of her head. She tore held one of them and rubbed it, thinking, "I'll go."

Pingzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and there have been frequent floods over the years. However, this year, the number of casualties and the loss of public property was extremely heavy. The prefect of Pingzhou took all the blame and hanged himself.

This case shocked the government and the public. At first, Qi Liangye simply sent someone to investigate and found out that it was the work of Wang Yue, but there was no one he can trust on the matter.

No one is willing to take this kind of hard work. As early as the Pingzhou flood incident happened, she(Xie Yu) sent her own hidden subordinates to investigate, but the evidence was deeply hidden by Wang Yue, and those hidden subordinates didn't find anything.

There was no hesitation in the woman's voice, a pair of smart eyes drooped slightly, and one hand wrapped around her braid as if thinking about something.

Qi Liangye smiled slightly.

Qianjing is known as the "Paradise of the Floating World". The streets and alleys are full of gates and courtyards. Even the bottom hawkers and merchants live in small courtyards with red bricks and blue tiles.

The main street extends from the imperial city to the outside, and there are carved beams and painted buildings, and every inch is meticulously carved. The Qianjing is a prosperous city that never sleeps.

There were distinguished guests tonight at Duke Cheng's mansion, and everyone below was banned from discussing this matter.

The setting sun is like blood, and the lotus pond in the courtyard reflects the waves of red and orange. Birds are pecking and playing in the pond. A small covered bridge is built on the lotus pond to connect the winding corridors. On the other side of the bridge, a phoenix made of golden silk and red sandalwood stood quietly, surrounded by guards, palace maids, and eunuchs.

The laughter in the house quietly poured out through the mullioned windows. At this time, Queen Sun Yuying, the daughter of Jin Chenggong, was surrounded by everyone. The master and the servants laughed together, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Look at our Ruo Wei, she looks more and more beautiful. When you get married, let's marry you to Liangye as a daughter-in-law."

"Aunt!"

The girl was wearing a peach-colored shattered glazed immortal dress, with turquoise shawls hanging on her slender arms. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed with shame as she stomped her feet and turned her back.

Sun Ruowei's motherーthe daughter-in-law of Jincheng's direct son, Mrs. Liu, was wearing a purple-toned house uniform at this time. Seeing this, she begged the Queen for mercy, "Ruo Wei is a thin-skinned(easily embarrassed) girl, so don't make fun of her."

The queen lives up to her name, with a graceful face and fair skin like a good suet jade. At the age of more than forty, she still has the aura of a young lady. She raised her smiling eyes, took her sister-in-law's hand, and patted it,

"What are you afraid of? The two of them have been engaged since childhood. Ruo Wei is sure to be married in the royal family"

When the crown prince of the dynasty, Qi Liangye, had entered into a marriage contract with Sun Ruo Wei, the granddaughter of Duke Chenggong's direct descendant since childhood, although it was only a verbal agreement, according to the oath, Sun Ruowei, at the end of this year will be married to the Crown Prince's Mansion at the beginning of next year. (God, there's already a rival.)
