My green plum fell from the sky

The two talked for a while, and it didn't take long for the sky to dawn.

The two of them went out secretly and experienced many twists and turns, but the palace people in Tinghe Palace didn't know about it.Of course, Xixiangyue would not talk about this matter with them, and this Qixi Festival night was buried in the hearts of the two of them.

However, Xixiang Yue did not let go of the matter of the attack.

She is not someone who just sits and waits to be killed. Since there are clues, of course it is better to find out as soon as possible.

She remembered that Ming Yucheng told her that the evil spirit died on the spot.

The talisman was drawn by Master Jingchuan, unlike those Taoist priests who bluff and deceive, Master Jingchuan should not miss when he deals with an evil spirit in the mortal world.

Was it the evil spirit that attacked her, or the other backers behind that evil spirit?

After all, this matter has to be investigated from Ming Yucheng. If we can know the origin of the evil spirit, perhaps it will be much easier to investigate.

While Xixiangyue was thinking about how to get in touch with Ming Yucheng and figure out the origin of the evil spirit, another small incident happened these days, the envoy of Juan Kingdom came to Beijing.

Juan country is a small country along the coast that contributed the night pearl of the South China Sea that was shattered by Xixiangyue.

Juan State is attached to Pure State, and will come to Pure State every year to offer offerings as usual.

It stands to reason that it should have arrived earlier in previous years, but this year it took nearly a month to arrive, which made people mutter for a while.

Juan Kingdom is still resting outside the palace, waiting for the emperor to summon.However, the Chaotang was already arguing.

It is said that Juan Kingdom must have had a different heart, and asked the emperor to be careful.It is also said that it may be delayed on the road, and it is enough to ask clearly, and it is inconvenient to deal with it more, so as not to hurt the peace between the two countries.

The emperor remained calm, allowing them to be noisy like a market, and did not interrupt them.

It wasn't until the topic of debate among the courtiers changed from why the Juan Kingdom was late to the purpose of the Juan Kingdom's arrival that there was a slight change.

"I heard that the prince of the Juan Kingdom, Lan Shijie, came to Beijing with the envoys of the Juan Kingdom."

"This son is neither a direct descendant nor an eldest son. The reason why he can be crowned as a crown prince is because his mother is the favorite concubine of King Juan."

"Wang Juan tried his best to make him the crown prince, causing rumors to spread all over the country. There were rumors that the beloved concubine was a witch, and King Juan was really bewitched by her sorcery, so she did these absurd things. "

"cough."

The emperor coughed lightly on his seat, "It's better not to take the people's speculations to the court and say them."

After being reminded by the emperor, these ministers realized that what they said was quite smug.

In fact, it is not surprising that the deeds of that beloved concubine are no secret in the surrounding countries.

It is said that the woman was rescued from the seaside by King Juan during a patrol.

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, King Juan was astonished and brought her back to the palace without saying a word.At the beginning, because of the freshness, the woman was beautiful and innocent, and she was very favored for a while.

It's just that the freshness has passed, and the palace is full of flowers again, and King Juan forgets about the woman again.

After a while, for some reason, King Juan remembered the woman again.

Since then, King Juan has been devoted to the woman and obeyed her words. Even the matter of making her son the prince was opposed by many courtiers, but he did not give up his idea.

Because the emperor's change was too sudden, or some jealous people maliciously spread rumors, the name of the demon concubine was completely placed on her head.

If one were to discuss other women's gossip, one would naturally be accused of being frivolous and rude, but Yaofei didn't have so many taboos.Therefore, these courtiers will inevitably forget the occasion.

Don't talk about the concubine Yao, let's talk about her son.

"I heard that Prince Najie is different from the slender and frail people of Juan, but he is tall and big."

"He has made a lot of achievements in the marching and formation. He once led an army of [-] Juan to repel [-] elite soldiers from the neighboring country. The opponent was defeated and fled, and he almost hit the opponent's royal city."

"This person's reputation in the army is extremely high."

"Hmph, he's just a savage."

"I heard that in the previous battle, because spies in the army leaked secrets, the prince Jie and three thousand cavalry were surrounded by [-] enemy soldiers. The hostile general of the country of Yi ordered to attack with rockets, but was captured by the brave prince Jie. Breaking out of the encirclement, apart from two scalded scars at the corners of the eyes, there is no injury at all."

At this time, Ming Yucheng, who was at the bottom of the courtiers because he was summoned by the emperor a few days ago and got an official title, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the description of Prince Na Jie.

How can this be.

Those courtiers are still saying: "This son is young and weak, but he has not yet married the Crown Princess. I heard that when he was young, he put down his rhetoric and wanted to marry a stunning beauty who can rival his mother..."

I have said so much nonsense before, and now I finally come to the head.

After going around in such a big circle, these courtiers actually have one meaning: the emperor be careful, he is here for your daughter!

A single prince from a vassal kingdom came to Chunguo, besides asking for peace, what reason could he have?If he has no purpose, why would he bother to come to the suzerain country to be angry in his own country?

The current age-appropriate princesses in the Pure Kingdom are only the emperor's favorite princess, Princess Qiongfang, and other princesses and county heads with sufficient clan status are either married or too young.

And this Princess Qiongfang is not only of the right age, but also has not yet decided on a husband candidate, and is a well-known beauty. The thoughts of this Crown Prince Jie are probably known to everyone.

If it was normal, if a neighboring country came to ask the princess to make peace, these courtiers would not object, but would gloat and encourage her.

But this Princess Qiongfang is different. Now that the position of the crown prince of the Pure Kingdom is not yet clear, the power behind Princess Qiongfang is very important. Maybe whichever side gets the power, the prince it supports will be able to become the Crown Prince of the Pure Kingdom.

They haven't been able to win or lose yet, and now a prince of the Juan Kingdom has come out halfway, how can this be tolerated?If one is not careful, then Princess Qiongfang will have to take advantage of a foreigner.

With the emperor's love for Princess Qiongfang, how could he tolerate Princess Qiongfang's marriage to another country?If it is as expected, the fate of Princess Qiongfang, I believe there will be a result soon.

The emperor did not express his position in the court, but only dealt with some other minor state affairs, so he called him to retire.

The courtiers left one after another, but Ming Yucheng hesitated.After hesitating for a while, he stopped a little father-in-law and whispered something in his ear.

...

Recently I heard that Juan Kingdom went to Beijing, nothing else has changed, but Tinghe Palace has become lively again.

From time to time, a sister-in-law or aunt-in-law would come to talk to her, or invite her to a small banquet or other party, which annoyed Xixiang Yue.

In the past, she still had the leisure to play tricks with these people, but since she recovered most of her memories, she has no interest in the tricks of these mortals.

Although there may not be intrigue in the Immortal Palace, strength is still the most important thing in the end, no matter how hard you study, it can't compare to someone else's fist.

Xi Xiangyue finds these conspiracies and schemes of mortals very boring.

Just after sending away a female official who brought invitations, a little eunuch came in behind.

Qianshou, who was seeing off the guests at the gate of Tinghe Palace, was about to rebuff, but heard the little eunuch say: "Master Ming called the little one to see His Royal Highness, saying that he has something important to tell."

"Master Ming?"

"Yes."

Master Ming who can come to find the princess is probably only the princess' cousin Ming Yucheng.

"You wait, I'll report back to the princess."

Qianshou went in for a while, and came out after a while: "Princess summons, come with me."

Xixiangyue was thinking of finding some reason to ask Ming Yucheng about the evil, but unexpectedly the other party came to his door.

It was definitely impossible for Tinghe Palace to let him come, so Xixiangyue asked the little eunuch to go to Chenji Palace again, and borrowed a place for the queen to talk.

Not long after, the two met in the garden outside the side hall of Chenji Palace.

Xixiang Yue was still holding the black cat.

This time, she didn't bring it on purpose, but the cat insisted on following her by grabbing her sleeve.

Xixiangyue subconsciously followed the cat's fur, exchanged pleasantries with Ming Yucheng, and fell silent to the convenience, her expression was no longer as calm as before, and she hesitated to speak.

He might want to say something secret, but Xixiangyue didn't urge him.

"Your Highness... You know I brought a personal servant to my home."

Xixiang Yue thought for a while, then nodded and said: "My mother is still worried that one person will not be able to serve you well, so she asked you to bring some people back." Later, because of that evil incident, the matter was settled.

"Actually, when I went to Beijing this time, I came here alone, without bringing anyone from home."

Xixiang Yue asked doubtfully, "Did my cousin buy that boy on the way?"

Ming Yucheng shook his head: "No way... On my way, I happened to meet this person being chased and killed by a group of men in black. I felt soft-hearted for a moment, so I rescued him."

"After I found someone to heal his wounds, I was about to continue on the road, but this man said that he asked for a place to stay, and that he would repay me and follow me around. I saw that he was homeless, so I let him do it for the time being. Hu."

Speaking of this, Ming Yucheng's face became a little ugly.

"But what's wrong with this man?"

Ming Yucheng nodded with difficulty: "In the beginning, this person was quite dedicated. Although he didn't do things very carefully, he was still quite appropriate."

"It's just... after the Third Princess' peony banquet, when I returned to the mansion, this person suddenly changed his expression..."

Xixiangyue blinked, and said to herself: I'm afraid that the imprint left by the peony flower was discovered by him, which angered him.

Ming Yucheng's face turned red and then white, he failed to continue, but said: "This person is exactly the evil spirit that the Master spoke of."

"I was thinking about the previous relationship, and couldn't bear to take action against him, but this person has gotten worse. That day, the master said that he would get rid of him for me... so I agreed heartily."

"This man will repay his kindness with revenge. Cousin is not at fault, so there is really no need to blame yourself."

"That day..." Xi Xiangyue said: "Cousin said that this person has been removed, but now there is something related to him, which made my cousin come to find me in a hurry?"

"Exactly," Ming Yucheng said, "I was in the courtroom today, and the audience mentioned the envoy of Juan Kingdom who came to Beijing recently."

He took a deep breath and said: "The description of the prince Jie is somewhat similar to that of my servant."

Xixiang Yue's eyes narrowed: "Prince Jie?"
