The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Ning Ziqing was so angry with Jiang Quhan that she ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, then went back to her dormitory to wash up and rest.

Su Yanqi was also in a bad mood. He finished his meal hastily and planned to return to the Su Mansion.

Jiang Quhan refused to let him leave and asked him to live with him in the Hou Mansion. He also asked Fang Yu to get his change of clothes.

Su Yanqi was unhappy with him taking the decision without authorization.

Jiang Quhan explained that Ning Ziqing's mood was still unstable, and they had to take good care of her for Mr. Fu, and they also had to help Ning Zijun prepare for her marriage.

Su Yanqi hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to Jiang Quhan's proposal.

The two continued to stay in the main hall, drinking tea and chatting.

About an hour later, Fang Yu came and asked them to move to Yanmingju next to Xiyuan to rest.

Jiang Quhan and Su Yanqi got up and left.

The moment they stepped out of the room, Jiang Quhan noticed a figure moving in the darkness.

He frowned, strode to the garden and said, "Jiang Qi, take someone to check the garden wall carefully to see if there are dog holes or the like to block it, to prevent wild dogs and cats from sneaking in and disturbing you." Princess."

Jiang Qie didn't think much and immediately called Jiang Fei to take the guards from the garden to check.

Su Yanqi looked at Jiang Quhan in confusion: "What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Quhan waved his folding fan and passed him, snorting coldly: "If we don't leave, that bitch should be in a hurry."

Su Yanqi understood immediately. He glanced in the direction of the dormitory and hurriedly caught up with Jiang Quhan.

"Can you please stop targeting His Highness the Fourth?"

Jiang Quhan's face was full of disdain: "Who allowed him to take away my Ning Manman and be so disrespectful to my uncle?"

Just thinking about it makes me angry. This dog man is really a dog!

It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Huo Yunjue quietly appeared from behind the pear tree.

He looked at Jiang Quhan's back and cursed twice, avoiding Hui Yi and the others, climbed through the window and entered Ning Ziqing's bedroom.

Ning Ziqing was not yet asleep. When she heard the strange noise, she immediately sat up alertly.

"who is it?"

"Qingqing, it's me."

Huo Yunjue said urgently, quickly walked to the bed, lifted the bed curtains, and hugged Ning Ziqing tightly into his arms.

"Sorry, I am late."

He said guiltily, his arms surrounding Ning Ziqing like iron hoops.

"Yesterday was your birthday, but I didn't come. I deserve to die!"

Ning Ziqing quickly covered his mouth: "I didn't have time to tell you because I have never celebrated my birthday."

"Besides, if you spend too much time with the Fu Mansion and the Marquis Mansion in private, it will inevitably arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Please be patient for a little longer."

Huo Yunjue's eyes instantly sank, and he held her hand tightly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

"Qingqing, I promise you that from now on, I will be by your side every birthday and will never let you be hurt in any way again."

He had already heard what happened last night from Yaoyao.

I was shocked and angry at what Ninghou Ye did.

He could not imagine that Lord Ning would blame all Fu Jinye's death on Ning Ziqing, causing her to suffer for two lifetimes.

Seeing Huo Yunjue blaming himself, Ning Ziqing leaned on his chest and comforted him softly.

"Ah Jue, I'm fine now, don't worry."

She rubbed Huo Yunjue's fingers and said with a calm smile: "I finally lived my life again, and I won't be knocked down so easily."

Before the cause of A Niang's death was found out, she didn't want to draw any conclusions about Ning Houye.

Although he is not a qualified father.

But he was passionately devoted to his mother-in-law.

Huo Yunjue tightened his hand, pressed his cheek against Ning Ziqing's forehead, and said to her firmly: "We agreed to face everything together, and you are not allowed to resist alone."

Ning Ziqing lowered her eyes and encouraged, "Then go and beat my father up now to help me vent my anger."

Huo Yunjue's face froze slightly, and he was stunned with embarrassment.

How dare he hit his future father-in-law!

He had no choice but to coax Ning Ziqing: "Why don't you beat me up to relieve your anger? If I beat Mr. Ning, our marriage will be out of the question."

Ning Ziqing said angrily: "Coward!"

Huo Yunjue obeyed her lovingly: "Yes, I am a coward. I will do whatever my wife says about me."

Ning Ziqing suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot and pushed Huo Yunjue away.

"Who is your wife? You haven't officially come to propose marriage yet. Stop yelling!"

She angrily grabbed the quilt to cover herself.

Huo Yunjue pulled her over and put her in his arms again. Then he took out a small wooden box, turned on the light next to the bed, took out a pair of fox-shaped earrings carved from amethyst and put them in her hands. .

"I made these earrings before, but never had the chance to give them to you. Now I'm giving them to you as a birthday gift. I hope you won't dislike them."

Ning Ziqing looked carefully at the crystal clear earrings in her hands and exclaimed happily: "It's so beautiful. How come you are so good at making women's jewelry like Qi Langjun?"

Huo Yunjue's eyes darkened and he asked curiously.

"What gift did Shichiro-kun give you?"

Ning Ziqing put on the earrings and said nonchalantly: "It's a unique hairpin. It looks more exquisite than Zhenbao Pavilion's workmanship. I've asked Yinxiang to put it away for me."

She noticed Huo Yunjue's gloomy expression, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Are you jealous?"

Huo Yunjue avoided her gaze and denied firmly: "No way!"

Ning Ziqing laughed secretly, stopped teasing him, and told him exactly what she had seen in the dream before.

"Don't worry, Shichiro-kun had a wife he loved deeply in his previous life, and he will meet her soon."

Huo Yunjue's eyebrows relaxed, and he lowered his head and kissed Ning Ziqing's forehead.

"That's very good. Let's go find him and write a letter of termination of engagement as soon as possible."

Ning Ziqing nodded, and suddenly the conversation changed: "By the way, what happened to the deposing of the prince?"

This incident happened too suddenly, and Emperor Yao dealt with it mercilessly, leaving no room for maneuver for the prince.

Until now, Ning Ziqing still finds it unbelievable.

Huo Yunjue looked calm and replied truthfully: "The prince used the trick of hating victory on your majesty, which caused your majesty to suddenly become seriously ill and vomit blood and fall into coma. That's why your majesty deposed him cruelly!"

Ning Ziqing was surprised: "Is the prince so stupid?"

The art of being tired of winning has been regarded as a treason and taboo since the previous dynasty.

How could the prince dig his own grave to murder Emperor Yao like this?

Huo Yunjue knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he spoke slowly.

"I only know that a rag doll with His Majesty's birthday written on it was found in the East Palace. The handwriting on it has been verified to be written by the Crown Prince himself. Regarding other matters, His Majesty has strictly ordered the imperial guards not to reveal any information, and I dare not find out. too much."

When Ning Ziqing heard this, he immediately understood the reason.

After all, this is a royal scandal, and Emperor Yao naturally doesn't want this matter to become public knowledge.

"I'm afraid the art of hating victory is just a cover. His Majesty is probably dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, so he took this opportunity to depose him."

Huo Yunjue's tone was low: "I think so too. If this matter is further investigated, it will not only involve a lot of things, but it may also allow those who are interested to take the opportunity to cause chaos and disrupt the imperial court."

"Your Majesty must have made this decision after careful consideration."

Deposing the prince, banning the queen, and dismissing the tutor, this series of measures dealt a blow to the power of the prince's party.

However, there was no chaos in the court because of this, and everything was still under the control of Emperor Yao.

Huo Yunjue increasingly felt that his father was unfathomable.

After the two were silent for a moment, Huo Yunjue said calmly: "Perhaps, His Majesty is well aware of the situation in the court, and he may have already made up his mind about who he wants to be the crown prince."

Ning Ziqing was convinced.

In the previous life, after the crown prince was deposed, Emperor Yao did not immediately appoint a new crown prince, which led to Huo Yunhong's usurpation of the throne.

In this life, the emperor is still scheming. He aims to balance the power of the court and will never easily appoint a new prince.

As for Huo Yunhong, how long can his patience last?

"Ah Jue, do you think His Majesty will choose you?"

Ning Ziqing asked uneasily.

Huo Yunjue came a little closer to her, with a hint of determination and depth in his eyes.

"No matter whether my father chooses me or not, I have to fight for it. Between me and Huo Yunhong, he will eventually have to make a choice. Moreover, the current situation is more favorable to me."

As long as he takes every step and does not make any mistakes, the position of the East Palace will surely fall into his hands.

Naturally, Ning Ziqing thought the same way. She smiled and put her arms around Huo Yunjue's neck.

"Ah Jue, just go ahead and do it. Huo Yunhong has lost the support of Qian Yeguo and is unable to move forward. When I get the few confidential letters in Yuan Que's hand, he will be completely finished."

Huo Yunjue said with a low smile: "Then I would like to thank Princess A Zhao for her great help."

Ning Ziqing stared at his handsome face with affection in her eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, kissed his eyebrows and cheeks gently, and finally bit his lips.

Huo Yunjue's breathing gradually became heavier. He ran his fingers through Ning Ziqing's soft hair, clasped the back of her head, and lingered affectionately with her.

Ning Ziqing snuggled into Huo Yunjue's arms, stretched out her hand to the hem of his clothes, and pulled hard.

Huo Yunjue stopped her in a panic.

Unexpectedly, this man was restless and made trouble to reach his waist.

Huo Yunjue stopped suddenly, restrained his yawning, held down her erratic hand, and bit the corner of her lips twice.

"You can't do that yet."

Ning Ziqing deliberately looked aggrieved.

Huo Yunjue distanced the two of them and spoke to her seriously.

"I'm waiting for the moment when you truly become my wife."

Ning Ziqing lowered her head shyly and reminded him in a low voice.

"Then you have to hurry up. After my brother gets married, they are going to urge me to marry Qiroujun again."

Huo Yunjue's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers wrapped around her green silk hair and begged: "It won't be long, just wait for me, okay?"

Ning Ziqing responded to him softly, and when she heard footsteps approaching outside the door, she urged Huo Yunjue to leave.

Huo Yunjue helped her lie down, covered her with a quilt and said, "Then you have a good rest. I'll leave first. I'll come back on the day of your brother's wedding."

Ning Ziqing reluctantly hooked Huo Yunjue's finger and said with concern: "You should also be more careful with Huo Yunhong."

Huo Yunjue nodded and suddenly remembered something.

"Do you have any impression of Concubine Xue in your previous life?"

Hearing him mention Concubine Xue again, Ning Ziqing bit her lip and thought for a moment, but had no clue.

She asked in confusion: "Ah Jue, why do you keep staring at Concubine Xue? Is there something wrong with her?"

A dark light flashed in Huo Yunjue's eyes.

"She's suspicious."

Ning Ziqing was shocked, sat up again and asked, "Why?"

Huo Yunjue told her in detail what Gu Liaohe had discovered and some recent clues.

In recent days, he ordered spies in the palace to quietly investigate the mastermind behind the Wu clan, and indeed found some clues.

For example, Concubine Xue and Wei Zhaoyi suddenly became very close to the Crown Princess, and they met many times to pray for blessings at Daxingguo Temple.

Before the prince's accident, the handsome little eunuch beside Concubine Xue had wandered around the East Palace many times.

But Ning Ziqing didn't think Concubine Xue was suspicious.

In her previous life, she did not exist in the harem.

"Ah Jue, are you too worried? It is impossible for Concubine Xue to collude with the Wu clan. She is just a woman from an ordinary family. When she first entered the palace, she had a low status. She and the little eunuch beside her once helped Pass me. I think she just wants to gain a place in the harem at most."

Huo Yunjue became serious.

"I know this is hard for you to believe, but think about it. She was able to gain His Majesty's favor and become a Snow Concubine in a short period of time. The means involved were by no means simple."

"Earlier, I have sent people to check the details of the Ye family. They only brought their eldest daughter Ye Yushan back to Kyoto from her hometown of Jicheng half a year ago. And Ye Yushan has rarely shown her face since then."

"The Ye family announced to the outside world that Ye Yushan was not familiar with the etiquette of Kyoto because she had been raised in her hometown, so they hired Grandma Xi to teach her."

"Soon after, she entered the palace to participate in the draft."

After listening to Huo Yunjue's words, Ning Ziqing looked solemn and seemed to have grasped the key point.

"Jicheng, that is the border city between Nanyao Kingdom and Yueyao Kingdom. If there is really a problem with Concubine Xue, then the case of the prince may not be able to escape her involvement!"

Ning Ziqing suddenly recalled something.

"Ah Jue, do you still remember that the turmoil in the previous dynasty was also caused by a victory-hating technique in the harem."

Huo Yunjue's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.
