Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System

Chapter 134: The Prime Minister vs. the Qinhuai Singer (18)

Emperor Ji Yuan held the armrests of the dragon throne tightly with both hands. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on the dragon robe and dyed the lapels red.

"His Majesty!"

There was a sudden panic in the court, the ministers exclaimed, and the chief eunuch hurried forward to wipe it.

Emperor Ji Yuan waved his hand to stop him, his voice hoarse but firm, "I'm fine!"

The Fifth Prince, Yuwen Shuo, looked terrified. He had not expected things to develop to this point, and he could not help but feel a little panic in his heart.

Crown Prince Yuwen Hao quickly regained his composure and ordered his attendants to call the imperial physician immediately.

Emperor Ji Yuan took a breath and looked at the fifth prince with disappointment.

"Shuo'er, do you admit your guilt?"

The fifth prince Yuwen Shuo quickly regained his composure. He knelt down and spoke sincerely.

"I know I am guilty, but please forgive me, Father. Everything I have done is for the prosperity of Cangwu. If I have done anything inappropriate, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Emperor Ji Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his physical discomfort, and finally announced the punishment decision for the fifth prince.

"Shuo'er, as a prince, you should be sympathetic to the people and benefit the people, instead of using your power to do evil. The evidence of today's incident is conclusive, and I have no choice but to punish you."

The fifth prince felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Emperor Ji Yuan looked around the court and finally made the decision in a deep voice.

"Fifth Prince, from today on, you will be stripped of all your positions, confined to your palace, and not allowed to interfere in state affairs. As for your property in Qinhuai, it will all be confiscated to compensate the victims."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court.

The Fifth Prince's face turned pale. Fortunately, only his properties were confiscated and his accumulated wealth was not touched.

The fifth prince did not dare to raise any objection and could only kowtow to express his gratitude.

Crown Prince Yuwen Hao was unwilling, but he was more worried about his father's health.

Yun Zimo stood in the Golden Palace and watched the farce quietly.

Fifth Prince, are you feeling uncomfortable? This is just the beginning!

"Host, the prince has found a famous doctor to treat him. He said that he has been poisoned for too long and has no power to recover. At most, he can live for two to three years. The prince has begun to investigate."

The voice of the system spirit sounded in my mind.

"Xiao Ling, provide some clues and help to the prince's people in due time so that he can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Liu Qianyu sighed inwardly, this prince was still as short-lived as in his previous life.

"Host, don't worry, I have already made arrangements with the Crown Prince."

Xiao Ling felt happy and thought she was the most thoughtful person.

"Miss, you are absolutely the most beautiful birthday girl. You are so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off you."

Liu Chan joked, and gently inserted the pearl hairpin in her hand into Liu Qianyu's hair, adding a bit of elegance to her.

"You girl, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

After dressing up, Liu Qianyu walked out slowly.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Yun Zimo walking towards me slowly with a tall figure.

He was extraordinarily handsome, with the wind blowing in his sleeves and holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand.

Yun Zimo's eyes were fixed on the woman who was coming towards him and capturing his attention.

It is so beautiful that it does not look like an earthly flower. Instead, it is like an elf under the moon, fresh and refined.

It took him a long time to find his voice.

"Sister Yu, happy birthday."

Liu Qianyu took the brocade box and gently opened it.

Inside the box, there was an extremely delicately carved peach wood hairpin.

The hairpin is smooth and delicate, and the peach blossoms on it are lifelike, as if they could sway in the wind, emitting a faint natural fragrance that is refreshing.

"This is a peach wood hairpin that I carved for you myself. I hope it can protect Sister Yu, ward off disasters and evil spirits, and bring a smooth life."

Yun Zimo's voice was mixed with a hint of shyness and anticipation.

The peach wood hairpin contains a deeper meaning.

The words churned in his mouth, he wanted to say them but suppressed them, torturing himself repeatedly.

Liu Qianyu's gaze fell on Yun Zimo's fingers, which were covered with tiny scars.

I guess he carved it secretly a long time ago.

"I like it very much. Thank you, my dear."

Liu Qianyu handed the hairpin to Yun Zimo.

"Put it on for me."

Yun Zimo looked at her eyes in surprise, and their eyes met.

Yun Zimo's heartbeat quickened, and with slightly trembling hands he picked up the hairpin and slowly inserted it into Liu Qianyu's hair bun.

"So lovely."

Yun Zimo looked at Liu Qianyu, his eyes full of tenderness and satisfaction.

"This hairpin is perfect for you."

"Let's go to the dining room. I'm sure Wei Zekai can't wait to eat."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Wei Zekai had been waiting in the dining room, his eyes occasionally glancing at the door.

Seeing Liu Qianyu and Yun Zimo walking in side by side, they looked like a perfect couple.

That beautiful scene made me feel sad.

"Oh, you two are finally here. I didn't bring any wine this time. I don't dare let Miss Liu get drunk again."

Wei Zekai forced a smile and spoke jokingly to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

During the banquet, the table was filled with delicious food, the guests and hosts were all happy, and there was laughter everywhere, creating a joyful scene.

After the banquet, Yun Zimo had to leave temporarily and go to the study because the secret guard sent a message saying that he had important matters to deal with.

Inside the study, the leader of the secret guards had been waiting for a long time with a serious expression. Upon seeing Yun Zimo walk in, he hurriedly bowed and reported.

"Master, I just received a secret report that the Emperor is in poor health and may not live long. And the Crown Prince is also seriously ill and may not live more than two or three years."

A layer of gloom couldn't help but hang over Yun Zimo's brows.

He gently stroked the paperweight on the table. His fingertips felt slightly cold, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

Always stay with me.

The current situation is changing rapidly, and we need to quickly gain control of the situation.

"Take this secret letter and deliver it anonymously to the Crown Prince's most trusted aide. Remember, be careful and do not reveal your whereabouts."

"I will definitely fulfill my mission."

The secret guard took the secret letter and disappeared like a ghost.

Just then, Liu Hetai hurried over and whispered something in Yun Zimo's ear.

Yun Zimo's face suddenly changed, and it became cloudy. He felt panicked and jealous. He couldn't hide it.

Outside the dining room, Wei Zekai saw Yun Zimo leaving and took the opportunity to invite him, his tone full of tenderness and expectation.

"Miss Liu, would you be so kind as to walk around the garden and chat with me?"

Liu Qianyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, please, Master Wei."

The two of them strolled along the path in the garden, smelling the fragrance of flowers.

Wei Zekai hesitated several times, but finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Happy birthday, Miss Liu."

He took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve and slowly opened it.

A colorful hairpin comes into view, dazzling and brilliant.

Liu Qianyu smiled and shook her head, her tone gentle but firm.

"Brother Wei, I appreciate your kindness. But this hairpin is too valuable and should be given to someone who shares the same mind and feelings as you. It is not appropriate for me to accept it."

Wei Zekai smiled bitterly and his gaze fell again on the peach blossom hairpin that Liu Qianyu had inserted in her hair.

"I see, I was the one who was abrupt."

He lowered his head, hiding his dejected look, and gently put the hairpin into the brocade box.
