Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

He Shulan returned to the Prince's Mansion refreshed and met the Prince who had just returned from the palace: "Why did you come back so late today?"

"I was discussing something with the emperor in the palace, so I came back so late. What made you so happy?"

He Shulan did not hide the truth from the prince and told him how the three of them beat He Shuzhen.

The prince smiled and shook his head. It was the first time he saw the dignified He Shulan being so naughty: "I will avenge you as soon as possible and catch He Shuzhen."

During the days back home, He Shulan thought a lot. She wanted to arrest He Shuzhen in the name of kidnapping her, but that was impossible. But she could find another excuse: "I will avenge myself. If I need your help, I will come to you."

The prince was very happy to be needed: "If you need any help, just come to me."

Taohua smiled widely as she looked at the Prince and Princess standing together and said, "Old Madam, please ask the kitchen to prepare the food. Please invite the Prince and Princess to come over and have dinner together."

The two walked into the Prince's Mansion side by side.

……

The leader stood there with a stern expression, questioning Tan Shaocong and Zhong Ming: "What happened to the two of you? How could you be so careless that you were not only discovered, but also arrested."

The two people who were out of danger looked much more relaxed: "We don't know what happened. We were discovered so suddenly that we didn't have time to think."

"You didn't even notice that you were being followed or discovered. Can you still complete your undercover mission?"

Tan Shaocong raised his head and looked at the leader in front of him: "If we continue to stay here, we won't be able to find out any information."

"I know that the Emperor of Wei sent me here this time not only to pick you two up, but also to ask you, have you stolen the second half of the Southern Xinjiang map?

Tan Shaocong patted his chest and said, "It's done."

The leader's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes looked at Tan Shaocong more and more gloomy: "Let's set off now and leave the capital."

It would be easy for so many people to be discovered if they left the capital together, so the leader divided the group into four small teams and slipped out from the four city gates of the capital.

The leader led several soldiers and Tan Shaocong out of the south gate of the capital.

Tan Shaocong had been arrested before, so he didn’t want to go through the crowded South Gate: “I will follow the soldiers through the North Gate, and we will meet up outside the city gate.”

"No." The leader refused without hesitation. Realizing that his attitude was a bit too excited, he immediately restrained himself: "I must ensure your safety."

Tan Shaocong had no doubts and thought the leader was doing this for his own good, so he did not refuse.

Everyone changed their clothes and dispersed.

The leader led Tan Shaocong to deliberately take a secluded road, passing through a dark and damp alley. He took out a dagger and put it on Tan Shaocong's neck without anyone noticing.

Tan Shaocong was so scared that he dared not move anymore. He swallowed nervously and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'll kill you." The leader's cold and gloomy tone made people shudder.

"You are so brave. Do you know that I am the military advisor of Emperor Wei?"

"I know. It was the Emperor Wei who ordered me to kill you."

Tan Shaocong was incredulous: "Why?"

"Today I will let you die knowingly." At this time, the leader no longer concealed: "You are not only the military advisor of Emperor Wei, you are also the military advisor of other countries. Emperor Wei is not confident in using people like you. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for you to continue living in this world."

"You..." Tan Shaocong didn't expect that he escaped from the cell and fell into the trap of the leader: "It will be of no benefit to you if you kill me. Over the years, I have saved a lot of money, all of which I will give to you. You just let me live."

"What I lack the least is money. Your life is specifically wanted by Emperor Wei. I dare not let you go." After saying this, the leader did not wait for Tan Shaocong to react.

Swinging the dagger in his hand vigorously, Tan Shaocong fell to the ground, covering his bleeding neck.

The leader took out a map from Tan Shaocong and led the soldiers out of the alley.

……

"My Lord, it's bad. Tan Shaocong was killed."

The prince, who was about to go to the palace to attend the morning court, stopped and followed the yamen runners into the alley.

Prince Ning and people from the Dali Temple have arrived at the scene and are surrounding Tan Shaocong's body for inspection.

The prince asked, "How is it?"

After checking the body, Zhu Jun stood up and reported seriously: "The wound on Tan Shaocong's neck was cut by a sharp knife. The blade is sharp but soft. No one in Beijing uses such a weapon. He must have been killed by the person who rescued Tan Shaocong."

The prince asked, "Since you saved Tan Shaocong, why did you kill him?"

"Who knows? This alley leads to the South Gate. They should have already fled the capital." Prince Ning replied: "The suspect has already fled. This case cannot be solved."

The prince nodded. Even if Tan Shaocong was not killed, he would be thrown into jail.

After all, the two men knew each other, and they did not let the yamen runners throw Tan Shaocong's body into a mass grave, but buried it in the back mountain.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince told He Shulan about this matter.

This made He Shulan sigh. The military advisor who was so powerful in revealing the truth of various countries actually died in the alley. "The most regrettable thing is that no one asked who sent Tan Shaocong here to poison the people. No one knows whose military advisor he was and what his purpose was in coming here."

The prince had so many questions and wanted to know, but he had no way of finding out.

……

He Shuzhen, who was beaten black and blue, was so angry that she cursed He Shulan and others every day.

Xiaoyu wiped her tears and said, "Madam, we can't afford to offend the King's Mansion. If we tell the Master about this, he won't help us. We can only bear the anger."

He Shuzhen couldn't stand this tone: "I must find a way to get all the justice back."

"But who can help us?" Xiaoyu still had a trace of rationality left.

He Shuzhen sat there with a gloomy expression. Ever since she married Liu Chen, her old friends hardly interacted with her anymore.

Now she is all alone and has no one to help her. After thinking about it, she thinks of her great aunt in the palace.

My great aunt entered the palace in her early years and became the emperor's concubine. With the help of my great aunt, the He family has achieved its current status.

She hadn't seen her great aunt for a long time, but since they were related by blood, she probably wouldn't refuse her if she asked her for help: "I've got an idea."

Xiaoyu couldn't wait to ask: "Madam, what solution have you come up with? Tell me quickly and make me happy."

"You'll know if you follow me into the palace," He Shuzhen said mysteriously.

……

"Princess, this is a letter from the palace."

He Shulan reached out to take the invitation handed to her by the maid, opened it, and saw that the person invited was Concubine He.

Her face turned gloomy. She wondered why her great aunt, who had lived in the imperial palace all year round, suddenly wanted to summon her.
