Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xiluo felt something was wrong, so he came back to report to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Xiluo, "Did you sneak out by yourself?"

"No, it's time to poison again."

After he finished speaking, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing: "I forgot, is Princess Yurong still taking the universal elixir?"

"Yes, she is addicted. This time, Gu Jiaojiao gave her several bottles. She blackmailed her for 20,000 taels of silver per bottle. Princess Yurong was very angry and said that she would get the money back from Madam. She wanted you to pay 100,000 taels of silver for one bottle."

"Oh, so expensive? Then just leave it for her to eat!"

Xiluo was gone in a flash.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced towards a corner and saw Bei Chen walking out from the darkness in a very competent manner.

"My subordinates will set off immediately."

"You have to be extremely careful not to alarm anyone."

If we can sneak into the villa at night, we might be able to find out some secrets. Those people will definitely run away from their warm nest by daybreak.

Xie Zhaozhao just wanted to get the list and didn't want to alarm anyone. Even if she got the list, she didn't want to take any action for the time being.

She just wanted to get hold of these people.

Since you are the wife of a cabinet minister, you cannot be as weak as a dodder.

However, she couldn't understand why these court officials still had the leisure to visit prostitutes when there was a major war on the border, the prince was in danger, and His Majesty was seriously ill?

How dare they?!

The next morning, Nanxing and three other messengers left the capital and returned to the northwest battlefield.

In addition to taking away four jars of beef pepper sauce, he also took away Xie Zhaozhao's plump photos and a letter from home.

Bei Chen stayed at Huiyue Villa for ten days and finally came back.

A long list was handed to Xie Zhaozhao, which included as many as forty officials of all ranks in the Kyoto court alone.

In addition to the three offices and six ministries, there are also local officials.

The news in the villa was even more explosive.

The Huiyue Villa was divided into two parts, front and back. More than a hundred young boys and girls were imprisoned in the back yard, all of them were stunningly beautiful.

The front part is a brothel and a prostitute's house, a pleasure area for receiving various dignitaries. In addition to one-on-one XXOO, there are also open-air group running and perverted abuse...

If an official took a fancy to a girl or a young man, he could bring her back to his government office.

for free!

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

The so-called giving it away for free naturally has a bigger purpose.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the list and copied two copies separately, placing them in different secret compartments.

She had the same idea as Princess Yurong. Now was not the time to bring out the list, Your Majesty. There was no time to worry about that.

**

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace issued an edict that officials of the third rank and above and their families were allowed to enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with His Majesty.

Xie Zhaozhao is now nine and a half months pregnant and may give birth at any time, so she sent someone to write back to the palace, saying that it was inconvenient for her and she would not attend the palace banquet.

Imperial Concubine Xi specially sent a carriage from the palace to Qingpu Garden to pick her up. Liuli said respectfully, "Madam, the Imperial Concubine has been taking care of His Majesty every day and has not been able to take care of Madam. Now that the family is reunited, she misses Madam very much."

Xie Zhaozhao heard Yuanyuan's message in the courtyard, so he said, "Let Aunt Liuli wait for a while."

She said to Lu Feiyan: "I can't disobey your order, and I have to trouble you."

Lu Feiyan blinked her big eyes and said, "I really like being with Madam. It's not hard."

When Xie Anfeng learned that Concubine Xi had sent someone to pick up Xie Zhaozhao, he immediately rode to Qingpu Garden.

He dismounted at the gate and frowned at Liuli, saying, "Zhao Zhao is about to give birth. Do we have to go to the palace banquet?"

Liuli smiled and said, "This is the Queen's decree. The Queen misses the old lady."

Xie Anfeng said, "I will go back to the palace with you and report the truth to the Empress. I will bear any responsibility."

Liuli frowned and said, "What did Lord Xie say? Did you misinterpret the good intentions of the Empress? What responsibility do you take? You invited so many people to a reunion dinner, could you have murdered the old lady?"

Xie Zhaozhao's face darkened and she said, "Aunt Liuli, my father is a second-rank official in the court. How could you talk to my father like that? I have difficulty walking now. My father loves me and is not disobeying the queen. Since the queen insists on having me enter the palace, I should be careful!"

"Madam, you are right. I know I was wrong. Let's go, then? Your Majesty is waiting anxiously."

If Xie Anfeng and Xie Zhaozhao didn't go, they would be disobeying the imperial order.

After entering the palace and going through a series of etiquette, Xie Zhaozhao was supported by Yuanyuan and Lu Feiyan into the banquet hall.

When entering the room, the palace maid said that only one maid could be brought in, and she stopped Lu Feiyan and asked her to wait outside the palace.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "I am pregnant and will give birth soon. Lu Feiyan is my personal doctor."

The maid bowed her head and said respectfully: "This is the palace rule. You are only allowed to bring one maid. I hope the old lady will not embarrass me."

Another maid said, "The imperial physician is always on call, Madam, don't worry."

Lu Feiyan said, "Madam, please ask Sister Yuanyuan to wait outside. I can take good care of you."

She usually calls herself "I", but this time, in order to accompany Xie Zhaozhao, she called herself "slave".

Zhang Yanyan's mother came over and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you here when you are so sick?"

"Celebrate the festival with His Majesty and His Majesty." Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "The palace rules only allow one maid to be brought in. The two sisters are vying to take care of me, and I'm worried about who to bring in."

Madam Zhang smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll go tell the Imperial Concubine to let the two maids in."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Then I'll trouble Madam Zhang."

Not long after Madam Zhang entered, she asked for mercy and said to the palace maid at the door, "The Queen said that the old lady is in serious condition, so she will make an exception and allow both maids to enter the palace."

Yuanyuan and Lu Feiyan then went in.

The banquet began, and Emperor Hui was supported by Hua Zisheng when he came in. Xie Zhaozhao's heart suddenly felt like someone was pinching it, and her hands folded in front of her chest could not help but tremble slightly under her sleeves.

Emperor Hui looked pale, with high cheeks, sunken eyes, and completely white hair. The dragon robe hung on his body as if it was hanging on a thin wooden frame.

He sat at the desk, looking at everyone, his voice a little hoarse: "The scenery is beautiful during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon is bright in my hometown; the flowers are the same every year, and people look forward to the same thing every year; I look forward to hearing good news from afar, and we share this moment together even though we are far away..."

After saying these words, Xie Zhaozhao did not feel any joy of reunion, but only felt sad and uneasy in his heart.

Your Majesty, it seems that you will not live long!

The outcome of the game with the Wei family is still uncertain, but four princes are gone first. How sad Your Majesty must feel.

"Let's raise our glasses and celebrate the good news." Imperial Concubine Xi first offered a glass to His Majesty, who reached out to take it. Seeing Imperial Concubine Xi raise her glass, he also raised it.

After drinking with everyone, young ladies from various mansions performed their talents. Emperor Hui looked listless, frowned from time to time, and said nothing.

Concubine Xi smiled very gently and picked up some food for him, and he occasionally took a bite.

After the talent show, Concubine Xi toasted everyone: "Your Majesty is not strong enough to drink, I will toast to you all on your behalf, and wish the country of Daqian peace and prosperity for all the people."

After everyone drank a cup, Emperor Hui suddenly announced without warning:

"Noble Concubine Xi is a virtuous woman, a daughter of a famous family, prudent and virtuous. Now that the harem is without a master, I hereby appoint Noble Concubine Xi as the Empress of Daqian, to take charge of the harem... I will announce it to the world tomorrow."

Xie Zhaozhao was shocked again, but her family members reacted quickly, "Congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen, congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen."

Xie Zhaozhao also joined in congratulating everyone.

He quickly glanced over and saw that the first people to bow and congratulate were not Madam Liu, not the old lady of the Xie family, nor Madam Zhang from the aristocratic family, but the Princess of Liang, the wife of Vice Minister Wang of the Ministry of Personnel, and the wife of Vice Minister Zhai of the Ministry of Justice!

Looking at the huge crowd in front of him, amidst the roar of "Long live the emperor, long live the queen", Xie Zhaozhao clearly heard a tiny voice: "Madam, His Majesty has been poisoned!"
