After that battle, the demons were almost wiped out—the few who escaped by chance were just soldiers and generals, and they couldn't make any big waves.

Even the annals of the Heavenly Court have few records of this period of history.It is really not in line with the so-called virtue of good life in heaven. On the contrary, the thick blood color almost penetrates this period of time, leaching the bloody air, but the heaven finally managed to defend its own territory, making the demons become Weak ants and insects that can no longer appear in broad daylight.

It's just that Shangxian also disappeared immediately after the war ended.

"Shangxian is indeed a rare idiot in the heavens," Bai Ze couldn't help but sighed leisurely, "I don't know what price I paid to bring Ah Qi back to life..."

Pixiu stretched out his hand to touch his chin, but also remained silent.

When it was dawn on the second day, Princess Zhaoning shilled the spies who followed her back to the capital, and went to report to Emperor Hui about the bribery of Zhen's mansion.

But a day later, a reply came from the imperial capital.There are only four flamboyant characters written on it:

No need to hold back.

Zhaoning had some confidence in his heart, knowing that the emperor had long been dissatisfied with these old aristocratic families.Apart from the fact that there are still one or two children of the Jia family who can shine on the lintel, and there is no excessive corruption or perversion of the law, among the other big families, which one is not full of filth?

Even the stone lions at the entrance are rarely clean.

On the one hand, they bribed and accepted bribes, relying on the shadow of their ancestors to do everything; on the other hand, they cried poorly in front of the household department, and repeatedly borrowed money from the treasury to spend on their own.Right now, even the disaster relief money for the victims of the disaster has also made up its mind.They live in a world of luxury and wealth, and with the vermilion gate closed, how do they know how many people outside the gate have died of freezing and starvation?

Zhaoning didn't have the slightest affection for the Zhen family, so Dang even sent soldiers to surround the Zhen's mansion without hesitation, relying on the Holy Spirit's instructions all the way to the gate of the Zhen's mansion, and asked people to shout at the door.

Zhen Yan came out to greet him personally, seeing this battle, his heart skipped a beat.However, he has seen these worlds after all, and he let Zhaoning in with a smile on his face: "I don't know if the princess and the prince of Beijing came to the humble house today, it is very rude to welcome you from a distance. If you don't mind, why don't you?" Come in and sit down?"

"There's no need to go in," Zhaoning said proudly, "I'm here today with the oracle, and I'm going to make a copy of Zhen's mansion. Lord Zhen, please go to the side first, in case you hurt your delicate body, wouldn't you?" Isn't it bad?"

"What is the princess talking about!" Zhen Yan's expression changed, "My Zhen family has always been upright, and I never do those things that violate the law and discipline. How can I copy the house? If the princess can't come up with the oracle , don’t blame the officials for not letting the princess in today! Otherwise, what would my Zhen family be famous for?”

"It's not something you can say about your name, Sir Zhen," Zhaoning laughed, "Could it be that my lord wants to disobey the order and be disrespectful?"

Zhen Yan naturally did not dare to be charged with this crime.He immediately frowned, and saw that those officers and soldiers were holding swords in their hands, and the cold light was shining. After all, there was no other way but to let them in.

"Shilling go in alone," Zhaoning turned around and ordered, "Let those women and children stay away, don't be fooled."

The women and maidservants in the back house were all locked in the East Wing, only the old lady Zhen, who was ordered by the imperial family and a direct descendant of the Zhen family, waited for disposal in the front yard.

In this copy, a lot of loan sharks, useful things and other illegal things were copied out. The gold, silver and treasures were almost piled up into mountains. Pixiu was in full bloom, running wildly; the best red sandalwood was abused at will, and the silk and satin were so piled up that they couldn't fit in the warehouse, and they were randomly cut into some clothes for the maids to wear.Not to mention that there are [-] or [-] processes required to eat a dish on weekdays, and at least a large table is required. Such extravagance is quite inconceivable in the eyes of a royal daughter like Princess Zhaoning.

Because of being favored, she has eaten and played with one of the best things in the palace since she was a child; but that's the case, she has never treated those precious things like running water like the Zhen family did.

There is a young son in Zhen's house, also named Baoyu, born just like Baoyu, and he also has the temperament of a beauty-loving woman who does not like men's filthy things.Seeing Princess Zhaoning personally bring people to check, sitting high on the horse and watching the soldiers carrying boxes outside one by one, with awe-inspiring eyes, a completely different demeanor from the boudoir women I usually see.Immediately, she cried and sighed: "A good girl's family, why did she do such a thing that ruined her family's fortune! Wouldn't it be a waste of this pure girl's body to be a ghost of the country's lucrative wealth?"

"Stop talking nonsense," the old lady of the Zhen family recognized Zhaoning, and hurriedly pulled Baoyu back, "That's the emperor's own daughter, so there's no reason for you to say that!"

Unexpectedly, Zhaoning had heard it long ago, and he just smiled indifferently: "This palace is not on the same path as the master in your mansion. Instead of being a ghost of the country's wealth and wealth, I want to be this reincarnated blue sky!"

When she said this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, her heroic appearance made it impossible to take her eyes off her.

Among other things, the money seized by the Zhen Mansion first solved the urgent needs of the victims in the south of the Yangtze River.Afterwards, the account books of Zhen's bribery and bribery were also dug out from the dug-out wall, and a group of Jiangnan officials fell down one after another. Mr. Wang was the first to bear the brunt and was sentenced to be executed first.And there is another name on it that receives a large amount of money from below every year, and most of the valuables that were bribed were given to this person.Princess Zhaoning squinted at this name for a long time, and finally let out a soft laugh.

She tapped those three characters lightly with her slender fingers, and said with a smile: "It really is a great achievement to come here this time."

After the dark guard passed the news to Emperor Hui first, Emperor Hui was silent for a long time, holding the account book without saying a word.After all, he suddenly stood up from the desk and said, "Go to Changle Palace."

The Changle Palace is the closest to the Chaoqin Palace where the emperor handles political affairs, and it is magnificent and gorgeous.While walking along the road, in just a quarter of an hour, he met at least a dozen or so court ladies rushing past with exquisite gowns.When they saw Emperor Hui, they hurriedly blessed and saluted: "See Your Majesty."

Standing at the door was a young eunuch with a poking head. He was handsome and cute. When he saw Emperor Hui coming, he came up to meet him: "See Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is washing herself in the bath at this time, and she will be here soon."

The emperor nodded slightly, and stepped into the Changle Palace amidst the crowd of eunuchs and court ladies.The view is a vast and sparse palace, a large piece of light blue curtains hangs high in the air and rises in the wind, gently brushing a few peonies in full bloom in the enamel vase.Everywhere in this palace looks like a peerless beauty, shyly covering her face with a light veil, revealing only half of her imaginative hibiscus face and a touch of crimson red lips.

The tea in his hand had just the right taste and temperature. The emperor sat on the chair and took a few sips of tea slowly.However, his mind was not on this at all today, he just moved his eyes slowly, looking at this place.

The white jade statue of Avalokitesvara giving her a son was exactly what she rewarded her, and a bunch of crystal clear grapes were placed on a white plate in the official kiln, which were carefully polished one by one with extremely rare purple jade.Placed in this plate, it is lifelike, and then embedded with a few tiny crystals as dewdrops, it looks like it was fresh when it was just picked from the tree.

And the Lord, finally came leisurely.

"His Majesty."

Emperor Hui raised his head to look at her, and although the woman who was walking towards her was already a mother of two children, she still had a slender waist and a slender hand, and she could almost imitate Feiyan to do the palm dance.She is snow-skinned and beautiful, with lotus growing every step of the way, and she has two small and round dimples when she smiles. No matter how the years in this palace pass, she still has that charming and innocent appearance.

What Emperor Hui loves the most is her appearance.

"Qianqian," he said softly, "how will I treat you?"

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly say this today?"

Concubine Cao raised her eyebrows in surprise, but leaned close to her intimately. The faint fragrance of peach blossoms from her body then swept over every piece of Emperor Hui's skin, lingering in his nose reluctantly.

"Your Majesty has always taken care of my concubine in such a way. In my heart, I am naturally grateful to Your Majesty."

She was right.From the perspective of others, she doted on the Sixth Palace and even gave birth to two princes, one of whom was the eldest son of the emperor.In this harem, it can be said that the limelight is in the limelight, and only the empress, the empress in the palace, can compete with her; and the rest of the people, who is not envious and jealous of her?

"I feel the same way," Emperor Hui said softly. When the person beside him glanced over in surprise and stroked the back of his hand with soft white and slender fingers, he suddenly pushed him away, "You are my cousin. These decades of friendship, I always want to take care of you; but what about you? But what have you done? This is how you treat my trust!"

The delicate imperial concubine was thrown to the ground by him, startled and flustered, crying like rain: "What is your majesty saying, the concubine can't understand a word! Could it be that there is some kind of treacherous villain provoking me?" Your Majesty, let Your Majesty..."

"Do you want me to post this evidence in front of your eyes?!" Emperor Hui opened the ledger, pointed to the three words and read them to her, "You can see clearly, take a good look!"

As if a thunderbolt struck from Tianling Gai, Concubine Cao was completely stunned by the strike.She knelt down at the emperor's feet in a daze, and opened the ledger tremblingly to look at it. Looking at the astronomical sum of money that was attached to her, she bit her lips tightly.

Huidi watched her bite his lips with bloodstains, even though he was angry, he couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable.He closed his eyes hard, and said sharply, "Come on!"

The eunuch outside the door rushed in to respond.

"Concubine Cao violated the law of the ancestors, so within this month, don't step out of the palace gate again." He looked at the woman on the ground and said, "Think about it carefully, and then come out after you think clearly. "

"Think clearly?"

After the emperor left, Concubine Cao slowly stood up from the ground.Although she is delicate and soft, there is a completely different brilliance in her eyes at the moment: "How can I think more clearly?"

"Your Majesty," the old nanny advised her, "Why do you do this, His Majesty loves you very much..."

"I don't want him to dote on you so much," Concubine Cao gritted her teeth and said, "I knew since I was born that I wanted to be my fourth brother's wife; she is the main wife that the Ming matchmaker is marrying, but right now, even if this name No matter how loud it is, Ben Gong is nothing more than a concubine!"

"It wasn't easy back then, Your Majesty..." Nanny whispered.

"It's not easy for him," Concubine Cao said with a sad smile, "Is it easy for me? I have used it for so many years, learning various rules, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all I hope is that he can fulfill his childhood promise .Even if he didn't take the throne, even if he's just a prince who doesn't even have real power."

"But he didn't."

"In the end, I'm still incomparable, incomparable... The Su family is helpful to him, so he couldn't wait to ask to marry the daughter of the Su family. Waiting for him to come to propose marriage?"

"So it's too late now," Concubine Cao looked at the speechless old lady, and smiled and tore up the ledger that the emperor had thrown on the ground, "he shouldn't expect me to reminisce about old love— —The person who can miss the old love has long been forced to death by his own hands."
