Xie Yan is handsome, but because of the coldness that hangs on his face all year round, he is intimidating and people dare not approach him at all.

During today's thank-you banquet, under the rage, his handsome eyebrows were filled with a gloomy look.

He strode towards Gu Ning, his narrow phoenix eyes locked tightly on Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi who were kneeling on the ground.

"Gu Ning will be the only one beside Gu." Xie Yan repeated, "Gu has already informed the Ministry of Rites that after Gu ascends the throne, the harem will be abolished."

"The orphan and the queen stay together for life."

Xie Yan's voice was extremely cold, and he spoke every word, enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi, who had vowed just now, were stunned.

In extreme shock, Ming Jingyi even forgot to pretend, and lost her voice: "How is this possible? The Ministry of Rites will not agree!"

"Since I have become the emperor, I cannot help them refuse!" Xie Yan quickly replied, "If they don't want to, they can come and sit on the throne!"

"No!" Ming Jingyi shook her head violently, "How could you do this? No emperor is..."

"You can do whatever you want! What you say is the rule!" Xie Yan replied again.

Every time Ming Jingyi said something, Xie Yan immediately retorted, making her look even more distracted.

She had met Xie Yan from a distance before. At that time, she only thought that Xie Yan was young, handsome, and in a high position, and he was the person she wanted to marry the most.

If you enter the palace and become a concubine, it would be a good thing to accompany such a man.

So she had the idea of ​​entering the palace, and even eliminated all those who might threaten her.

But she didn't expect that she would hear Xie Yan's answer on this day.

He said he would only have Gu Ning in his harem!He said he wanted to be with Gu Ning for the rest of his life!

How is this possible?This is absolutely impossible!

Ming Jingyi's eyes turned red, she raised her head suddenly, gritted her teeth and asked, "Your Highness is risking the disdain of the world by doing this!"

"So what?" Xie Yan didn't care, "It's never these etiquette that I care about."

Ming Jingyi wanted to say something else, but Xie Yan was already impatient: "Drag the person down."

Yue Ming Yuerong immediately led people forward.

Ming Jingyi was stunned, and the words in her heart blurted out: "Even if I can't enter the palace, I can't be guilty of this..."

"You poisoned more than a dozen people, how could I let you go so easily?" Xie Yan said in disgust, pointing to Zeng Feihong, "And you."

"No!" Ming Jingyi gritted her teeth and said, "These are just her words! She is just jealous of us! She was jealous that we wanted to enter the palace as concubines, so she deliberately framed us!"

"Gu has long said that besides Ning'er, there is no other woman in Gu. Why is she jealous of you?" Xie Yan frowned and said, "Ning'er is prettier than you, smarter than you, and kinder than you. You Is there anything in your whole body that deserves her envy?”

When Xie Yan mentioned Gu Ning, his voice was always very gentle.

However, it was a huge shock to the ears of Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi.

The two of them raised their heads in unison and subconsciously looked at Gu Ning.

Gu Ning still looked that lazy. When Xie Yan arrived, she didn't even deserve to get up. But she was such a unruly woman. Xie Yan treated her like a pearl and couldn't bear to blame her. She was always accommodating. she!

In an instant, their backs collapsed.

After all, they were never worthy of competing with Gu Ning!There was a bloody fight between them, but Gu Ning didn't even look at them because they didn't deserve it!

Just when the two of them were heartbroken, Gu Ning spoke up: "It would be fine if you two were just jealous, but you have poisoned so many people."

"Anyone who sins against you at the banquet, or who you think is a threat, you will drug them." Gu Ning frowned, "Those women have red spots on their faces and dare not see anyone at all. Many of them even People were depressed, and there was a young lady who was crying all day long.”

"The reason why you attack them is because your family is more prominent than theirs." Gu Ning said quietly, "If I move your family several dozen places back in the clan register..."

Gu Ning looked at the two of them: "Do you still dare to do this?"

When the two heard this, their faces turned paler than before.

"No!" Zeng Feihong trembled all over, "My daughter is willing to die to apologize! I hope the princess will spare our Zeng family!"

"My daughter is willing to die to apologize!" Ming Jingyi also shouted loudly.

Both of them knew that if the entire family's ranking in the clan register was moved back dozens of places because of their actions, then they would be the family's sinners!

Gu Ning shook his head and looked into the frightened eyes of the two people.

They kowtowed to Gu Ning almost at the same time: "Princess, please spare your life! Princess, please spare your life!"

"I'm not asking for your lives." Gu Ning said, "I'm just giving you the punishment you deserve."

"And..." Gu Ning smiled, "It is not the responsibility of the two of you to move the Zeng family and the Ming family back."

"In the final analysis, there is something wrong with your family tradition."

Gu Ning left a meaningful sentence.

The two looked at each other, but they didn't understand the meaning of Gu Ning's words.

Gu Ning had already waved his hand and walked out of the garden.

Xie Yan didn't even look at them again and quickly followed Gu Ning.

"His Royal Highness is really as considerate to the princess as the rumors say."

"Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times! If it were before today, I would never have believed that His Highness could be so attentive to the princess."

"In the final analysis, the princess's skills are high enough to control His Highness to death!"

"I heard what Your Highness just said. From now on, I will also find a husband who is as responsible as Your Highness!"

"A man's mouth is a liar! Just listen to it, why take it seriously?"

Those who made sarcastic remarks sneered a few times, and those who had longing in their hearts still looked at the backs of the two of them with envy, but without exception, they did not wink at Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi.

I thought that the two of them were just scheming, but I didn't expect that their methods were so vicious, and they actually poisoned dozens of people!They would not dare to associate with such a vicious person!

"Do you think what the princess said is true?"

"That sounds like it means the clan records are going to be adjusted again?"

"With so many people dead, it's really time to make adjustments."

As soon as the news came out, everyone was both sad and happy.

The sad thing is that they are mediocre, and it will be good if they can keep their position throughout their lives. The happy ones are those who have the opportunity to go further.

If you rank high in the clan records, it will be an excellent advantage whether you are talking about marriage or getting a wife.

Zeng Feihong's face looked like that of a concubine, and Ming Jingyi's expression was no less conciliatory.

The two of them were as dumb as a stick, and didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until late at night that Ming Jingyi was picked up by people from the Ming family, while Zeng Feihong was kicked to the ground by Zeng Shangshu who hurried back.

"Trash!" Zeng Shangshu gasped, his eyes filled with violent emotions.

Seeing that Zeng Feihong was silent, he became angry and slapped Zeng Feihong again.

"Is your head full of water?" Zeng Shangshu gritted his teeth and said, "Who asked you to poison me?"

Zeng Feihong was hit so hard by this slap that she couldn't recover for a long time. Seeing her stunned look, Zeng Shangshu was furious again and raised his hand to give Zeng Feihong another slap.

However, at this moment, someone knocked him to the ground.

Mrs. Zeng's eyes were filled with tears. When she met Zeng Shangshu's destructive eyes, her body trembled, but she still stood in front of Zeng Feihong without hesitation.

"Didn't you ask Feihong to do it?" Mrs. Zeng's voice trembled, but she refused to take a step back, "Feihong was originally a kind child, but you repeatedly asked her to poison others!"

"It was you who wanted to send Feihong to the palace! If you hadn't been saying these things in front of Feihong all day long, how could Feihong have such thoughts?"

No matter how weak Mrs. Zeng is, once her daughter is wronged, she is like a lioness, standing in front of her daughter and never letting the man in front of her touch a hair of her daughter.

Zeng Shangshu was so angry that he laughed: "But she is so stupid! I asked her to poison me, and not only did she not hide it, but she made it known to everyone!"

"I asked her to be more ruthless, but she didn't dare to be ruthless! This caused trouble! If the dosage was increased as I said before, how could these letters appear? I'm afraid the person who wrote them would have died long ago. died!"

"This idiot! Not only did he ruin my good deeds! He also caused me a lot of trouble! Do you know that our Zeng family has gone from No. 12 in the clan record to No. 42?"

"Thirty people retreated! If our ancestors knew about this, they would be so angry that they would jump out of their coffins!"

When Mrs. Zeng heard this, she snorted coldly: "Even if I were to jump out of the coffin, I would still slap you, an unworthy descendant, in the face!"

"It's all your fault that Feihong was taught like this!" Mrs. Zeng glared at Mr. Zeng fiercely, "I want to reconcile! I will never let my daughter be harmed by you again!"

Before Zeng Shangshu finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Zeng walking out with Zeng Feihong in her arms.

His face was cold, and when he saw the two people walking away, he sneered coldly: "Whenever you ask me for help!"

……

Gu Ning walked out of the Zeng family's door and noticed Xie Yan appearing from behind.

She felt guilty for a moment, thinking of what she said about not wanting to get married, and couldn't help but let her eyes drift to other places, not daring to look directly at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan didn't seem to notice, and carefully clasped Gu Ning's fingers tightly, so tightly that Gu Ning couldn't break away at all.

"Still unhappy?" Xie Yan glanced at Gu Ning's tense profile and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Gu Ning shook his head: "I just didn't expect you to come over."

After she said that, she moved closer to Xie Yan and said, "Does anyone else have any objections to you adjusting the clan records?"

For some aristocratic families, losing one person in this clan record would be more uncomfortable than killing them. If Xie Yan wants to adjust the clan record, the resistance is not ordinary.
