After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Yan Yu pushed Xiao Chengji's hand away and lay down under the quilt again.

Xiao Chengji didn't want to leave yet. He lowered his head and looked at her for a while. The more he looked at her, the more beautiful she looked. He leaned down and said, "Kiss her."

Yan Yu closed his eyes and said, "Master, go and do your thing. Let me sleep for another half an hour."

Xiao Chengji held her chin and kissed her, then strode out.

Just after noon, Yan Yu asked the maid to help her get dressed.

She still hadn't recovered. Yesterday from morning to evening, Xiao Chengji tormented her for almost the entire day. He was full of energy and seemed to be unsatisfied. She even felt that he hadn't done anything at all, but Yan Yu actually fainted.

But Yan Yu really couldn't take it anymore and couldn't recover even after a whole night's sleep.

She was dressing in front of the mirror when a maid came in from outside: "Princess, the Queen Mother wants you to come to the palace."

Yan Yu was still a little dizzy and didn't hear her words clearly for a moment: "What?"

Nanny Deng, who was standing beside her, received Xiao Chengji's order and said, "The princess is not feeling well today and cannot go out. Tell them that the princess cannot go out."

After hearing this, the maid went out immediately.

Huo Wang came in from outside and told the rumors: "Princess, Madam Zheng suddenly fell ill last night and passed away!"

Yan Yu frowned: "Dead?"

Huo Wang: "Yes, she is dead."

Mrs. Zheng's death was very strange. Yan Yu thought about it and felt that it was most likely the Queen Mother's doing.

Guan has brought shame to the Zheng family these days. The Queen Mother has always been cruel and ruthless, and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Seeing that Guan cannot be helped, it is normal for her to kill her.

I just didn't expect that the Guan family would agree to it.

Yan Yu nodded.

Since Guan was dead and the Guan family's property was confiscated, she thought Xiao Chengji's actions should have stopped. Even if he wanted to do something else in the future, he would wait and see.

Xiao Chengji might have thought that the Queen Mother would ask him to come over today, so he gave some instructions. Anyway, he would support her no matter what happened, so she didn't need to worry too much.

Emperor Jianxing was in a good mood today. He was taking a walk in the Imperial Garden, with Xiao Chengji following him.

Xiao Chengji didn't know whether Yan Yu had gotten up at this time. Even if she had gotten up, what would she be doing at this time? When she was beside the emperor, she was a little absent-minded and didn't even say much.

Yan Yu was very lively and cute when she was in front of him, but Xiao Chengji always felt that she was not that happy in her daily life. In fact, she was a little cold and lonely, just like the moon in the sky, which only had light but no warmth.

So what's on her mind all day?

Emperor Jianxing glanced at him and said, "Yue'er, you have been daydreaming. What are you thinking about?"

"……nothing."

"Thinking about your princess?"

Xiao Chengji came back to his senses: "How did the emperor know?"

Emperor Jianxing said, "When I was young, I thought of your mother like this. Your mother hated me at first, so I forced her to come to me. She has a strong temper, a bit like you, and she never smiles. I don't know what she's thinking about, but she thinks about it every day. For me, it's easy to get a beautiful woman, but it's hard to get her heart. It took me a lot of effort to make your mother fall in love with me."

It is not easy to win a person's heart. Things that are obtained through hard work are always the most precious. Such a dreamlike time is so vivid in the cold-blooded and oppressive years of the emperor, but it is fleeting like a flash in the pan and is gone in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Chengji had an older brother who was born to Concubine Bo, but the child died shortly after birth. It didn't matter how he died, because he didn't survive.

In fact, from that time on, Emperor Jianxing should have thought that Concubine Bo and the child could not be kept.

There is nothing alive within the palace walls.

"Tell me about the Guan family. I heard that Guan is dead?"

Xiao Chengji said, "The Queen Mother ordered that she was strangled to death last night. Her two sons did not want to. Although Zheng Shu felt bad, he still locked them up and dealt with Guan."

Emperor Jianxing asked, "How do you plan to deal with the Guan family's affairs?"

"Of course, we will handle it according to the laws of Wei." Xiao Chengji said, "We will deal with them according to what is written in the law. Father, the Zheng family and the Guan family have a close relationship. Thirty percent of the evil deeds done by the Guan family over the years were supported by the Zheng family behind the scenes."

Emperor Jianxing patted his shoulder and said, "The Queen Mother has not been in good health recently, so don't make her angry."

Xiao Chengji sneered.

Seeing his rebellious look, Emperor Jianxing raised his hand and poked him hard on the head: "The Queen Mother is old, how many more years can she enjoy a peaceful life? The future of the Zheng family depends entirely on the old lady's longevity, don't you have this little patience?"

Xiao Chengji said: "I, your son, can wait, but the people oppressed by Zheng's party cannot."

As the two were talking, they saw the Fifth Prince sneaking towards the palace where the Queen lived.

When Xiao Jiashan saw the emperor, he was frightened. He knew he couldn't escape, so he came over reluctantly, bowed to the emperor, and said a few words of greeting.

He knew very well that the emperor didn't like him very much, and he didn't want to curry favor with the emperor, so he was unhappy every time he saw the emperor.

After the greetings, Xiao Jiashan found an excuse and left.

The queen was under house arrest, and Xiao Jiashan was worried that she was not having a good time, so he came to see her from time to time.

Xiao Jiashan was upset because his aunt Guan died suddenly, so he came to talk to the queen.

I never expected to meet the emperor and Xiao Chengji on the way back.

In order to avoid being harassed by the emperor, Xiao Jiashan hurriedly said that he was here to visit the empress dowager.

After Xiao Jiashan left, Emperor Jianxing said, "Old Five is not a bad person, he is just indecisive and does not think about making progress. He starts things but never finishes them. He is not a threat, so you don't need to make things difficult for him in the future."

The Zheng family is already in this state. Fortunately, Xiao Jiashan is not a capable person. Otherwise, in order to prevent the Zheng family from continuing to collude, Emperor Jianxing would have killed him himself without Xiao Chengji taking any action against Xiao Jiashan.

Xiao Chengji did not give a direct answer: "For those who are law-abiding, I will naturally take into account the brotherhood. I am just afraid that the fifth brother will be used by others and make trouble like he did to protect the Guan family."

Emperor Jianxing said, "The Queen doted on the Fifth Prince too much and spoiled him. Currently, the Queen Mother wants the Fifth Prince to marry a girl from the Zheng family, and the Queen wants to make the Fifth Prince's concubine, Wei, the principal wife. Yue'er, what do you think?"

Emperor Jianxing wanted to make Wei the legitimate wife.

Anyway, Wei Ruxuan's father has no future, so making her his legal wife won't make much of a splash.

The same cannot be said for Zheng's daughter.

Although this girl was born to Zheng Can's illegitimate son, she was loved by Zheng Can and the Queen Mother, and was said to be very smart.

It's just that what Wei did in the past was too shameful, and Emperor Jianxing wanted to make her his legal wife, which made Xiao Chengji feel uncomfortable.

In fact, Xiao Chengji doesn't care about such a person. It makes no difference to him whether she is older or younger.

"I have no idea. It all depends on your father's wishes."
