princess regent lifted from her grave

The fifth prince looked at the master and servant who were happily shopping, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Inside the Regent's Palace

Ye Lijue, who was drinking tea while holding a teacup, raised her eyes to Qingfeng who was standing not far away, and said coldly,

"What is Yan'er doing now?"

"Back to the lord, before having a cup of tea, Miss Mu and her subordinate Mu Xiu were wandering in the market. Miss Mu bought some children's playthings, and Mu Xiu bought a strange big urn."

Ye Lijue nodded slightly, as long as Yan'er is happy, that's fine, as for what to buy, it's up to her to like.

Seeing that the prince is free at the moment, Qing Feng reported again,

"My lord, my subordinates have sent someone to investigate the origins of the two women who entered the Han residence yesterday."

"Who are they?"

"These two were adopted by a juggler in charge since they were young, and they were named Dashuang and Xiaoshuang. They have learned some juggling arts since childhood to earn some money for the steward. Not many people have seen their true appearance. They When performing acrobatics, their faces are painted with makeup, and they rarely go out on weekdays. Even when they go out, they have to wear a veiled hat, so few people see their true faces. This time, the rich man accidentally saw them The looks of the two of them gave rise to the idea of ​​being carried into the mansion as concubines. The two of them disagreed, and the steward began to whip them. Only because they were beaten so hard by the steward this time, the two of them ran out to ask for help. Kind-hearted Mrs. Shangguan."

Ye Lijue frowned and said,

"No abnormality found?"

Qingfeng said truthfully, "Your Majesty, all these news came from neighbors. When the people sent by the subordinates found them, the steward and the four people under the steward were all dead. The body was buried with the help of kind neighbors."

King Xiu, who had been sitting on the side resting, heard the words and asked curiously,

"How did they die?"

Qingfeng continued, "The four people in charge made a mistake while performing juggling and fell from a high place. One of them fell, and the other three also fell down one after another. He died on the spot on the utensils they made of iron, and after the steward learned the news, he was crushed to death by a speeding carriage on the way in haste."

Ye Lijue narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing this, there is no such coincidence in the world.

Many coincidences are intentional.

Qingfeng continued to report,

"My lord, when our people went to find the manager of this entertainment, the manager was dead, so they asked the neighbors around, their answers were surprisingly consistent, as if they had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for someone to ask."

King Xiu affirmed,

"That's the people next door. Everything has been arranged in advance. It seems that there are experts behind the two women to help them. It is not difficult for the four of them to fall from a high place. The difficult thing is that they are angry at the same time. They died absolutely, and after falling, the heads fell on the surrounding iron utensils. This requires a certain degree of accuracy. He was so angry that he accidentally fell down, and he had nothing to do with others, so the impatient steward was naturally crushed to death by the well-prepared carriage."

Ye Lijue agreed, "The person who notified the manager was arranged by the people behind the scenes."

"Ninth brother is absolutely right. It seems that their purpose of getting close to younger siblings is not simple."

Ye Lijue looked at Qingfeng again and asked coldly, "How did Yan'er deal with those two?"

"My lord, Miss Mu didn't deal with those two people, but just arranged them to the front yard to do some cleaning work. At present, those two people are particularly peaceful."

Ye Lijue understood Yan'er's plan when she heard the words, and ordered again,

"Since Yan'er has already made arrangements, you should protect the two mansions from the dark. If something happens, don't act rashly. Report to Yan'er before obeying orders to act, so as not to spoil her plan."

"Subordinates obey."

"Also, can you make proper arrangements for what this king asked you to do?"

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he knew what the prince meant, and hurriedly reported it,

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates have made arrangements."

Ye Lijue nodded in satisfaction, "Back off."

King Xiu saw the fleeting gentleness of the ninth brother from a distance, and hurriedly sat down opposite the ninth brother with a cup of tea, gossiping and asking,

"Ninth Brother, what did you ask Qingfeng to arrange? Can you tell me about it? Brother? I can give you a reference and suggest one or two."

Ye Lijue glanced lightly at Brother Eight Emperor, and said, "No need."

Then he glanced at King Xiu on the opposite side, and called softly, "Brother Eight Emperors."

King Xiu hurriedly got up, stood back, his eyes were full of vigilance, and asked aloud,

"Ninth brother, what do you want to do again? I can tell you, tomorrow is the day of the enthronement ceremony, and now everything is ready, then tomorrow's ceremony will owe you the wind, you don't want to think about it, obediently Accept the pilgrimage gift from all the ministers."

Looking at Brother Eight Emperor's appearance, Ye Lijue flashed a smile in his eyes, and said,

"Brother Eight Emperors, what I want to say is that you handle these chores alone tonight, and I have something to do tonight."

King Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as the ninth younger brother obediently ascended the throne tomorrow, he would feel at ease.

Then, thinking of what the ninth brother said, he was dissatisfied again,

"Ninth brother, you said that you let me deal with these disturbing matters tonight, but there are some things that the emperor must personally confirm."

"Brother Eight Emperors, I have already completed the things that I personally confirmed for you in advance, and you should pay more attention to the remaining trivial matters."

King Xiu was furious when he heard the words, and glared at the ninth younger brother angrily, cooperating with him, the ninth younger brother, the emperor, to finish the matter ahead of time, did he finish it for him early?

King Xiu took a seat directly opposite Ye Lijue, glared at Ninth Brother again, and finally picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip.

Ye Lijue looked at the opposite Brother Eight Emperor with an even bigger smile in his eyes.

The bedroom of Ye Zicheng in Prince Xun's Mansion

Ye Zicheng, who had been lying on the bed in a coma for half a month, moved his eyelashes slightly.

Seeing this joy, the guard who had been guarding his bed excitedly called out, "My son, my son."

Prince Xun, who was sitting not far away, heard the call of the guards and hurriedly got up. He staggered a bit because he got up too violently. If the housekeeper who followed him hadn't quickly supported him, Prince Xun would have fallen to the ground.

The butler hurriedly supported Prince Xun and asked with concern, "My lord, are you alright?"

Prince Xun hurriedly waved his hand, "No problem, quickly help me over to see if Cheng'er has woken up?"

The butler sighed softly inwardly, and helped Prince Xun go towards the bed.

The butler looked at Prince Xun, who had more and more white hairs these days because he was worried about the safety of his son, and sighed again. King Xun still cared and loved this son in his heart. It seemed that he had used the wrong method and didn't know how to get along with this son.
