After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Yun Jingxi sat upright on the dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed, a hint of curiosity on his face.

Recently, the deeds of Prince Duan, Yun Kaizhou, in Cangzhou have been widely spread, especially the rumors about him and a woman, which aroused Yun Jingxi's strong interest.

He summoned the hidden guards and asked in a deep voice, "How have you investigated the Prince Duan's affairs in Cangzhou?"

The hidden guard knelt on the ground and answered respectfully: "Your Majesty, after in-depth investigation by the hidden guards, it has been confirmed that Prince Duan Yun Kaizhou is inseparable from the woman who was rescued near Hengtian Mountain before. Not only that, the woman who had close contact with the prince in the inn was also this person. She seems to have been following the prince. There is also news that this woman has a close connection with the new Chamber of Commerce in Cangzhou, Fanxing Pavilion."

Yun Jingxi listened quietly, his face was as calm as water, but his eyes were as deep as the sea.

After listening to the secret guard's report, he nodded slightly, as if thinking about the deeper meaning of it.

He didn't care about the woman's identity or background, nor did he care about her connection with Fanxing Pavilion.

What he cared about was the marriage of Prince Duan, Yun Kaizhou.

As Yun Kaizhou is of royal blood, his marriage cannot be treated lightly.

"As long as he doesn't marry into the powerful people in the court, it doesn't matter who he is with." Yun Jingxi said to himself.

"This Yun Kaizhou, his life is really amazing!"

"He has been poisoned for so many years, the poison has already penetrated into his bones. If it were someone else, they would have turned into dry bones long ago." Yun Jingxi sighed, "But what about him? Not only is he not dead, he is still alive and well. It's really unbelievable."

Then, Yun Jingxi changed the subject and asked, "Has the information about Li Mei'er, the courtesan in Cangzhou, been received from Eunuch Yu?"

The hidden guard was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty, the news has been reported. Li Mei'er was born in poverty, and later became famous throughout Cangzhou City because of her beauty and the rumors of her special body. It is said that the investigation reported that she had no intersection with Prince Duan. In addition, Eunuch Yu has examined Li Mei'er's body. This woman is indeed a rare beauty in the world, and she is born with a charming body. She is innocent so far."

When Yun Jingxi heard that Li Meir had a naturally charming body and was still innocent, he became more interested in her.

His expression finally stopped being distorted and showed a hint of joy.

However, he still felt a little sorry for Li Meir's background in a brothel, but no matter what, as long as she had nothing to do with Prince Duan, it would be fine.

The guards below continued to report: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Yu also said in the letter that Feng Tingjing plans to let his mother adopt Li Mei'er as her adopted daughter. From now on, Li Mei'er will be his adopted sister."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jingxi said calmly, "Oh? This Feng Tingjing knows how to curry favor with the powerful."

He thought again and again, and continued, "Send a message to Eunuch Yu quickly, telling him that I gave the 100,000 taels to Prince Duan. As for Li Mei'er, she has been adopted as Madam Feng's daughter, so let Eunuch Yu send a gift to the Feng Mansion on my behalf. Also, Feng Tingjing still hasn't found any clues to the treasure map?"

The hidden guard replied: "Your Majesty, no."

Yun Jingxi waved his hand, signaling the secret guards to retreat.

These days, Yun Jingxi has found it difficult to control the impulses in his body.

He knew that this was an aftereffect of taking the golden elixir, but he didn't expect the aftereffects would be so severe.

None of those beautiful concubines were immune to his favor.

However, this favor is like a double-edged sword, bringing glory but also endless pain.

Those concubines with weaker constitutions were like candles in the wind, swaying and about to fall.

Every time the emperor favored them, it felt like they were experiencing a life-and-death crisis.

Their delicate bodies trembled under the emperor, and finally they fainted on the bed in endless joy.

This kind of favor is both a gift and a torture for them.

Yun Jingxi felt a little disappointed about this.

He felt as if he had tasted all the flavors of the harem. Those women who once made his heart beat fast had now lost their former charm in his eyes.

Yun Jingxi felt like he was trapped in an endless loop, unable to find new excitement and fun.

Now, Yun Jingxi felt that he could not wait any longer. He felt as if his passion for the courtesan in the brothel had been ignited again. He could not wait to get that woman and taste this natural charm.

Eunuch Gao walked in cautiously holding a teacup. When he saw the heat and desire in the emperor's eyes, his heart trembled.

He knew that the emperor's mind had been a little unpredictable recently, and at this moment the emperor seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts.

Yun Jingxi glanced at him and asked, "Eunuch Gao, do you think I should summon the courtesan Li Mei'er into the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gao quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, thinking back to the Emperor's various behaviors in the harem in recent times, it was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the existing concubines.

Today's harem is full of flowers and splendor, but it is like a stagnant pool of water.

Eunuch Gao knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, I think that if Your Majesty is interested in that girl, you should take her into the palace. Why bother with those rumors? Your Majesty's family background is up to you. If Your Majesty says she comes from a famous family, then she is a famous family; if Your Majesty says she comes from a humble family, then that is just a passing cloud."

He continued, "If the prostitute is favored by the emperor, it is the blessing she earned in her previous life. Those so-called origins and family backgrounds are nothing but clouds in front of the emperor. Why should your Majesty care about them?"

Yun Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at Eunuch Gao who was kneeling in front of him, as if trying to explore his true thoughts.

He spoke slowly, his tone was a bit playful and provocative: "Eunuch Gao, you are wrong. I don't need to worry about other people's gossip when I summon someone to the palace. But I want to know, are your real thoughts as frank and fearless as you say?"

Eunuch Gao's heart tightened. He knew that the emperor's mind was unfathomable and not as simple as it seemed.

He quickly adjusted his mindset, raised his head and looked at Yun Jingxi, saying loyally, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. In my mind, Your Majesty is the master of the world, and whatever you want is justified. As for the identity of the courtesan, it is just a label imposed on her by the world. In front of Your Majesty, she is just a woman, a woman who may be favored by you."

After hearing this, Yun Jingxi curled up a satisfied smile. He admired Eunuch Gao's intelligence and knowledge.

He stood up and said calmly, "Eunuch Gao, you are right. I want the woman who is the courtesan, and I don't care about her background. As for those rumors, I have my own way to make them disappear."

Eunuch Gao was delighted, for he knew that the Emperor had made the decision.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will go and prepare to summon the courtesan to the palace."

However, Yun Jingxi waved his hand to stop him, "No need, you go and arrange the affairs of the court. In two days, I have decided to go to Cangzhou in person for a private visit. Remember, I want to complete all this quietly, and don't let anyone notice my intentions."

Eunuch Gao took the order and left, but he was secretly glad that he had guessed the emperor's thoughts.

He knew that if he handled this matter well, his status in the emperor's heart would be greatly improved.

And the courtesan Li Meir who is about to enter the palace may become another woman in the harem that the emperor will fall in love with after the queen.
