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

Daqian capital.

Zhou Shaoyu was in the peony garden, lying on the couch where Xie Zhaozhao was reading under the window, looking at the dead leaves flying in the yard.

Xie Zhaozhao left this courtyard, Yuanyuanman also left, Hongying and Hongshu also left with the two hundred soldiers guarding the courtyard.

Apart from Aunt Cui and Aunt Chai, there were only men left in the yard.

She didn't want Bei Chen, who had been using him so well, and returned him to him.

The moon sets in the east, the stars appear in the south, and dust gathers in the north. The four secret guards return to their positions.

This yard has lost all its vitality.

Nan Xing came in from outside and felt uncomfortable seeing his master like this, but he had to report: "Your Highness, His Majesty summons you to the palace..."

Zhou Shaoyu: "I'm sick."

"Your Majesty has sent the imperial physician!"

"Tell them to go away."

Nanxing went out to answer and Hua Zisheng sighed.

Hanako Katsu returned to the imperial study, lowered his head and smiled carefully, saying, "Your Majesty, His Highness's injury has not healed yet."

Emperor Hui snorted, slammed the memorial in his hand on the dragon table, and sneered: "I have painstakingly trained him for decades, but he opposed me for a woman! It doesn't matter, he doesn't want to be the crown prince, I will make the seventh prince! Hua Zisheng, go and call Jingqi and Jingpin."

Hua Zisheng continued to hold the ginseng tea for Emperor Hui and said to the eunuch Quanfu who was waiting at the door, "Quanfu, go to Concubine Jing and tell her that His Majesty is summoning the Seventh Prince."

Quanfu had been hanging around at the door. When he heard what Hua Zisheng said, he was so excited that he smiled and ran to Yuxiu Palace.

Emperor Hui smiled faintly and said, "You are too lazy, old man. Why don't you go and make the announcement yourself? Why do you ask a newcomer to go?"

Hua Zisheng smiled like an aunt and said, "You have to bring some new people. I am used to serving Your Majesty and don't want to leave for a moment."

"Old thing..."

Emperor Hui only said this and did not look at Hua Zisheng's expression. Hua Zisheng had a cool smile on the corner of his lips.

Zhou Jingqi's biological mother was originally just a maidservant of Concubine De. After giving birth to a son, she was only given the title of concubine, Concubine Jing, because His Majesty said that she was the most chaste and never fought for anything.

After Concubine De passed away, two concubines, Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin, lived in Yuxiu Palace. However, Concubine Xin only gave birth to a little princess.

Not long after, Quanfu, with a smile on his face, reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is here with the Seventh Prince."

"Xuan."

Zhou Jingqi and Concubine Jing entered the imperial study respectfully and knelt down hurriedly.

"May your Majesty be safe!"

"Father, be safe and sound!"

The seventh prince Zhou Jingqi was seven years old. His hair was neatly tied on top of his head. He looked respectful and extremely polite.

Hua Zisheng quickly raised his eyes to look at the Seventh Prince and Concubine Jing, and then quickly closed his eyes again.

The seventh prince's dress and demeanor were deliberately imitated from Zhou Shaoyu.

Jingpin is famous for not fighting or competing? Hua Zisheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again.

Xiu Ning was spanked by Empress Xie some time ago and now he is finally able to walk. Hua Zisheng doesn't ask him to do heavy work, but asks him to stand at the door and act as a messenger.

Xiu Ning watched his master's every move respectfully. He did not ignore the disdain that flashed across his master's lips. He immediately felt guilty and bent his waist, with no other emotion on his face except a smile.

Emperor Huidi talked with Concubine Jing and the Seventh Prince for a while before calling the Ministry of Rites over and telling Concubine Jing to prepare to accept the reward tomorrow.

On October 20th of the 33rd year of Emperor Hui's reign, Emperor Hui issued an edict to appoint the seventh prince Zhou Jingqi as the Crown Prince of Daqian and to move him into the Eastern Palace. His mother, Concubine Jing, was named Concubine Jing and granted the title of the Master of Yuxiu Palace.

After the court session at noon, Qin Lang immediately went to Qingpu Garden and told Zhou Shaoyu the news.

"Your Highness, what do you think? Is your fate with Miss Xie over?" Qin Lang said helplessly, "My wife has been crying so hard that she has been sick for several days."

Xie was imprisoned and Xie Zhaozhao was divorced. Liu Yiyi wanted to help but there was nothing she could do. Elder Liu had been dismissed from his post and was not even qualified to submit memorials to the palace.

Qin Lang tried everything he could to get into the prison, and his majesty issued a strict order prohibiting anyone from visiting the Xie family.

Emperor Hui was incredibly efficient in dealing with Xie.

Xie Zhaozhao was divorced early in the morning. When Liu Yiyi and Qin Lang heard the news, they went to visit Xie Zhaozhao immediately without even going in.

From the time the Xie family was imprisoned, the imperial decree was issued to exile them, to the time the Xie family was forced to leave the capital, Liu Yiyi was unable to react within a day. By the time she learned the news, the Xie family had already left the capital.

Liu Yiyi and Qin Lang first went to Zhou Shaoyu to plead for mercy, and then went after Xie's family. Perhaps because she was too emotional, Liu Yiyi fainted before leaving the city.

Qin Lang had no choice but to take her to see a doctor.

After leaving Liu Yiyi to his mother and the doctor, Qin Lang tried desperately to catch up with the Xie family, but met Zhou Shaoyu who had fainted when he was leaving the city.

He watched Zhou Shaoyu being taken away by the guards, then he rode his horse as fast as he could, and finally gave the Xie family 30,000 taels of silver notes. This was all the cash Qin Lang and Liu Yiyi could gather in such a hurry.

Liu Yiyi was unable to see Xie Zhaozhao for the last time, and felt that she had done too little for Xie Zhaozhao. She worried too much and cried so much that she fell seriously ill and has not recovered yet.

If Qin Lang hadn't repeatedly guaranteed his character, Liu Yiyi would have dragged her sick body to Qingpu Garden to scold Zhou Shaoyu...

However, His Majesty announced to the world that the seventh prince was appointed as the crown prince.

Zhou Shaoyu looked very calm.

She said calmly, "Zhao Zhao and I were forced to separate. I will spend my whole life with Heng Er. I will not participate in the affairs of the court."

Qin Lang was helpless, and since the imperial edict had already been issued, he was helpless too.

I just feel particularly aggrieved.

Qin Lang left, and Bei Chen came back exhausted. Zhou Shaoyu saw that he looked pale and immediately became alert. He asked, "What happened? Did your wife have an accident?"

Bei Chen knelt down and said, "In Yichuan, the exile team entered the inn. At night, the inn caught fire and the fire burned down the entire inn..."

Zhou Shaoyu didn't care about his injury anymore, he got up all of a sudden, his face pale: "How is Zhaozhao? Please tell me more carefully."

"No one in the entire inn was spared, all burned to death... There were about 200 bodies found in the rooms, all of them were adult men, no women or children!"

Zhou Shaoyu slowly relaxed and asked, "Did anyone see where the men, women, and children ran to?"

"That night, the people in the town heard the sound of horse hooves and fighting everywhere. They thought the soldiers were arresting bandits, so they didn't dare to go out."

Bei Chen said that he didn't get any news about the Xie family, so he continued to chase them south and southwest along the official road for two days, but found no trace of the Xie family.

"No clues or anything strange at all?"

"I chased him to Yicheng, but couldn't find any information. I'm incompetent and couldn't find anything." Bei Chen lowered his eyebrows and his voice was flat.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly a look of relief appeared on his face.

Can't find it? I don't trust you!

After Beichen left, Zhou Shaoyu immediately said to Nanxing, "Go find Leng Luo and tell him that the Xie family was kidnapped in Yichuan."

Nanxing took the order and immediately went to tell Leng Luo.

Leng Luo asked Nan Xing: "Is this what Your Highness meant?"

Nanxing said, "Lord Leng can send the Imperial City Division to investigate."

The information found by the people from the Imperial City Bureau has been summarized by Leng Luo.

In front of all the officials, the young Commander Leng reported in a cold voice: "The exiles of the Xie family went out of the city for fifty miles. In Yichuan, the soldiers first set fire to the inn. Later, the soldiers killed all the members of the Xie family, including the innkeepers and the escorts... The Xie family fled in panic!"

The court suddenly fell silent.

Leng Luo looked at the newly appointed Crown Prince in panic, and suddenly smiled wickedly, "Tsk, what a fake!"
