The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

Chen was sent to the government by Li Qingqian along with the confession forced out of Yu Luo. She could not bear the torture and confessed everything that happened that year.

Under Shen Changyun's instructions, the officials copied Chen's confession and handed it to Li Qingqian.

She looked at the testimony in her hand and smiled at Shen Changyun with satisfaction.

"I originally thought that these things would be difficult to handle, but fortunately I chose you this time, and everything has become easier."

Shen Changyun gently pinched her cheek and said, "But I only did what I could for you. Generally speaking, you are more clear-headed when handling things on your own."

Although he said this, Li Qingqian was still very grateful to him in his heart.

It is not easy for women in Dawei compared to men. Men have more power than women. If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion showed how much importance it attached to her, Li Zhengkang would never have let her get the chance for revenge in the Li Mansion alone.

They must have suppressed her in various ways from the beginning. Could she still ignore the laws of Dawei and make a place for herself? Speaking of the matter, it was easy for men in Dawei to wipe out women's chances of making a name for themselves.

Li Qingqian certainly would not belittle herself, but she was still very fortunate that the husband she chose this time was a good man for her.

They have been in Yunzhou for more than a month, and now the only thing left is to find the real Ninth Prince who was once wandering among the people.

In the restaurant room, Shen Changyun told Li Qingqian about the Ninth Prince.

At that time, Emperor Hexi was still the most annoying child in the eyes of the late emperor, and even his position as crown prince was shaky.

In order to keep his throne and to be able to smoothly inherit the throne in the future, the seemingly gentle Emperor Hexi actually harbored ambitions.

It was probably during that time that a disaster as serious as the current Jiang Chan incident occurred in Pingyang County, a place also located on the river like Yunzhou - a flood.

The late emperor originally wanted the most favored prince at the time to go to Pingyang County to control the flood, but the prince was greedy for pleasure and secretly instigated Emperor Hexi to take charge of this matter.

Emperor Hexi appeared to be friendly and respectful to his brother, but in fact the prince's excuses played right into his hands.

When the late emperor saw that his favorite son was using illness as an excuse to shirk his responsibilities, he did not expose the truth. Instead, he glanced at the eager Emperor Hexi and waved his hand to let him go.

The process of flood control was very smooth, and the people of Pingyang County were very supportive of Emperor Hexi after this incident.

Unexpectedly, when Emperor Hexi and his entourage were about to leave Pingyang County and return to Beijing, a group of people suddenly emerged from nowhere, clamoring for him to die here.

The local people had received favors from him, so how could they want to destroy his life at this time?

Emperor Hexi was disappointed. It turned out that his father not only hated him, but also didn't want him to return to the capital alive.

But he was no pushover. He fought with that group of people with several of his guards. Finally, he returned to the capital with the good news of Pingyang County and a body covered with scars. This really scared the late emperor who was waiting for double happiness in the capital.

"But there is an unspeakable secret. The late emperor at that time was also very puzzled as to why the elite troops he sent out failed to kill his uncle," said Shen Changyun.

It turned out that although Emperor Hexi survived the fighting, he was dying and fell to the riverside, barely gasping for breath.

At that time, a young girl happened to pass by the river and saw the wounded Emperor Hexi. Not knowing that he was the crown prince at the time, she hurried home to bring her father back to heal his wounds.

With the careful care of the father and daughter, Emperor Hexi slowly woke up, but he did not tell them his identity. While staying in their home to recuperate, he slowly fell in love with the girl who saved him.

When his wounds were mostly healed, he had to go back to report to the late emperor, but he was reluctant to leave the girl, so he promised her father that when he gained fame in the capital, he would come back to take the girl to enjoy a good life.

The girl was overjoyed, thinking that the other party would keep his promise, but for several years the lover who made the promise to her and her father did not come forward.

The girl was disappointed and later got married and had a child.

A few years later, Emperor Hexi, who had been on the throne for a long time, happened to think of this old friend who had been kind and affectionate to him. Relying on his memory, he brought a group of secret guards and came to Pingyang County again under the pretext of "a secret visit".

At this time, the woman had been widowed for two years and had no children to rely on, so she made a living by washing clothes in Pingyang County.

When Emperor Hexi arrived at Pingyang County, he saw that his old friend was still as beautiful as before, and had even become more charming and attractive, so he wanted to renew their past relationship with her.

However, whether the woman did it voluntarily or was forced, only Emperor Hexi himself knows.

He stayed in Pingyang County for more than half a year. If he didn't go back, the government affairs would be neglected. The woman was pregnant with him at that time, but Emperor Hexi had no intention of bringing her back to the palace.

Instead, he left her in Pingyang County and sent someone to guard her until the prince was born.

"But even after the prince was born, the uncle did not take the child back," Shen Changyun frowned with some disgust, "until he heard that the woman from Pingyang County had committed suicide by jumping into the river and the prince had disappeared, he secretly ordered people to search for him."

Emperor Hexi told these things privately to the Crown Prince and Shen Changyun, and even the Queen was kept in the dark.

"Hmph, you say how much you miss your old friend in Pingyang County, but you force him to death. Even after your death you still have to pretend that you still care about our old friendship." Shen Changyun took a sip of tea with dissatisfaction.

Li Qingqian also felt a little nauseous and even wanted to vomit.

She knew that Emperor Hexi was a good actor, but she never thought that the truth would be like this.

Based on the tearful look of Emperor He Xi when Jiang Lin was mistakenly identified as a prince and brought back in his previous life, she thought that the white moonlight was very important to him.

So that's how it is.

"I'm afraid that the bad things I've done will one day become retribution for what I've done."

Li Qingqian listened to these words, thinking about some things, and his eyes gradually became profound.

Shen Changyun smiled softly, stroked her chin, and said meaningfully: "It doesn't have to be one day."

"What?" Li Qingqian was brought back to his senses by this sentence.

Shen Changyun smiled even more wantonly and whispered something in her ear.

Li Qingqian's eyes widened for a moment, but the excitement in his eyes almost burst out, "Really? He is so bold?"

Shen Changyun raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

Li Qingqian knew that the Jiang family had been able to sit on the throne for so many years, but they were not good people. However, she never expected that the whole family was so crazy.

It is a miracle that Dawei can thrive in their hands.

She recalled that before coming to Yunzhou, the Crown Princess seemed to look at the Crown Prince with some worry. It turned out that it was because of this matter.

But it is true that if we wait until the Ninth Prince returns to the capital, there will inevitably be another bloody storm. Only by getting things done now can we solve the problem once and for all.

The Crown Prince is like Emperor Hexi in this respect. He never leaves himself with any worries in this matter.
