Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Cao Yuqin heard this and said, "I asked him to persuade the old man to come back for the New Year, but he didn't move. I said I would go up there with him after the first snowfall. If the old man doesn't come back, we can spend the New Year there."

Shen Yiran heard this and saw that Prince Xing was very happy, so he said, "You still have a way. Even if the old man wants to be quiet, he won't complain about you bothering him during the New Year."

Cao Yuqin was very proud. She turned her head and pointed to the mountain and said, "Let's go up quickly. Sister has mentioned several times that you have medicinal food here. Look, isn't that the green smoke from cooking?"

Prince Xing looked over and pulled Cao Yuqin and Shen Yiran, saying with a smile, "We were pretending to climb the mountain, but we really came here to eat medicinal food. Look, we've been exposed before we even got up there!"

Shen Yiran knew it was not a good idea to ask any more questions, so the three of them went up in the bamboo sedan.

The old lady will be well recovered after a few days here. When she heard that Prince Xing and Princess Xin were coming, she brought Ji Sicheng and Ji Siyue to greet them.

Cao Yuqin immediately took Ji Siyue's hand, Prince Xing pressed Ji Sicheng's shoulder, asked about his life, and greeted the old lady before entering the room and sitting down.

There was a stove in the room with a teapot on it and a few red date peels thrown under the stove, which smelled very pleasant.

Cao Yuqin and Prince Xing washed their hands with hot water, then sat down with the old lady and chatted.

Shen Yiran went outside the room to make arrangements, and the old housekeeper who managed Yaoshan immediately came in to pay his respects.

Shen Yiran immediately asked Bai Zhi to go over and support him, saying with a smile: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

The old housekeeper walked in with a smile, sat down aside, and started talking to Shen Yiran about the medicinal herbs in the mountains.

After the old housekeeper finished talking about daily matters, he smiled and said, "The temperature has dropped continuously. The free clinic has been held three times in the mansion. I wonder how Madam will plan the days when it snows heavily in the future?"

Shen Yiran said: "It's cold in winter, so there's no need for free clinics. Collect and sell the herbs, exchange them for some winter clothes, and distribute them to the homeless."

The old housekeeper smiled and nodded in agreement, then looked at Shen Yiran and said, "I heard that today's guest is Prince Xing. I heard that the old prince is now living in seclusion in the mountains. I don't know if it's true or not."

Shen Yiran didn't expect that the old housekeeper seemed to know something about Prince Xing's Mansion, so he asked with a smile: "Uncle Yang has a connection with Prince Xing's Mansion?"

The old butler Uncle Yang nodded and smiled but didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Yiran was sure that he knew something, so he pretended to go to the warehouse and let Uncle Yang lead him into the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored.

The entire warehouse is long and deep, and no one outside can hear what you say when you walk into it.

Shen Yiran led him in, and while looking at the herbs on the winnowing basket, he asked, "Uncle Yang, do you know much about the affairs of Prince Xing's Mansion?"

When Uncle Yang heard Shen Yiran asking again and coming here specially, he realized that Shen Yiran was not here for the medicinal materials, but intended to know about the Prince Xing's Mansion.

"That incident was quite a big deal back then. If it hadn't been suppressed by Your Majesty, I'm afraid we don't know how it would have ended."

Shen Yiran also heard about what happened that year, but he only knew the surface of the matter and not the inner story.

Bai Zhi brought over two stools and the two of them sat down opposite each other. They started talking while flipping through the medicinal herbs in their hands.

At that time, Prince Laoxing served as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Apart from receiving foreign envoys, he actually had nothing else to do. It was just a nominal job given by the emperor.

King Laoxing was famous for his love of new and exotic things from foreign countries. In addition to the tribute gifts he brought to the emperor, foreign envoys would also prepare some small gifts for him.

Everyone in the court knew that there had been several impeachments by censors, but the emperor was biased and the case was never resolved.

It was not until a small border country in the Western Regions, the Yueshi Kingdom, came to pay tribute, but gave the country's secret heirloom treasure mixed in with a clay figurine disguised as a mechanism to King Laoxing.

By the time the envoys from the Eclipse Kingdom returned, the power had already been usurped. The general captured the palace and proclaimed himself king. However, he could not find the national treasure, so he could not make the claim legitimate.

The general turned the palace upside down but couldn't find it, so he turned his attention to the envoys.

They sent people to infiltrate the Honglu Temple to investigate.

The envoys all came with a mission, and naturally knew that returning this time would be dangerous, so they were secretly on guard, hoping that the emperor's army could protect them.

However, the general's men still found a way to sneak in, captured and interrogated the envoys one by one, and the envoy who refused to surrender was killed and thrown back into the Honglu Temple.

Overnight, all the envoys from the Moon Eclipse Kingdom died in the Honglu Temple, except for one who went missing.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Prince Laoxing was immediately pulled out of bed and taken to the palace to meet the emperor late at night.

The emperor was furious and blamed King Xing for not managing the situation well. When such a big thing happened, he didn't know how to keep the news secret. If this were to spread, which foreign country would dare to come and pay tribute?

Prince Lao Xing was speechless. He knew that the emperor wanted him to come out and clean up the mess, so he could only go to the Honglu Temple in person to cooperate with the Dali Temple's investigation.

Who knew that the missing envoy was not missing at all, but surrendered under torture and revealed the secret.

The great general of the Lunar Eclipse Kingdom was still waiting for something to take the throne, so he and his men targeted the palace of Prince Xing.

Before the investigation at the Honglu Temple of Prince Laoxing made any progress, something happened again in his own residence.

At that time, the gang of criminals secretly broke into the study and rummaged around. The wife of Prince Laoxing heard the noise, rushed in and saw the thieves, and they were stabbed to death in the room.

After accidentally causing a commotion, the group had to fight in the palace in order to escape.

Fortunately, the guards in Prince Xing's mansion were quite brave and captured a few people alive. Through interrogation, they learned the inside story.

Prince Laoxing immediately found the things and sent them to the palace to present to the emperor.

The emperor did not care about the changes in other countries, but just wanted to save the face lost in the Honglu Temple case, so he ordered his men to release the captured envoys and let them take their things back.

However, Prince Xing and his wife were well-known for their love for each other. Now that his wife had died in vain, the emperor only said a few words of comfort and asked him to put the overall situation first.

King Lao Xing agreed verbally, but he bribed some thieves to rob the envoys, took the gifts back and buried them together with his wife.

The Lunar Eclipse Kingdom saw that the emperor was seeking forgiveness, so they sent envoys to cause trouble.

Prince Laoxing did not treat them well in the Honglu Temple and his neglect was very obvious.

The emperor dismissed Prince Laoxing from his post, appeased the envoy, and said he would help find the treasure.

The envoy hinted to the emperor that the things must be in the hands of King Laoxing, and used the friendship between the two countries and the promise of tribute to impress the emperor and force King Laoxing to hand over the things.

Finally, under pressure from the overall situation, King Laoxing opened the museum and took out the items to give them away.

After that, King Laoxing married a new wife, passed the title to his son, and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

This is the whole story that Shen Yiran knew, and it sounds very bizarre.

But I didn't expect that this was not the whole thing.

Uncle Yang looked at the brazier in the pharmacy and sighed, "As for my connection with Prince Xing's Mansion, when I was young, I was once a disciple of a doctor in the Honglu Temple."
