Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

Chapter 118: The sword rises and falls, and someone is sent to investigate the silver pearl powder

Brother Long's head was covered in cold sweat. The master must not be exposed. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with our King. Everything is my own doing.

I heard about the beauty of the girls in the Qing Dynasty, so I had bad thoughts. As for the silver pearl powder, they saw me eating it, and they were so greedy that they asked me for it. I promised to bring some to them every time I came. I definitely did not give the silver pearl powder to anyone else. "

Boss Du was so angry that she wanted to whip him twice, but unfortunately she couldn't speak. She was so anxious that tears and snot flowed out.

Seeing that she had something to say, Erkang's jaw clicked back to normal.

"If you have anything else to explain to the Emperor, do it as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have the chance after today."

Boss Du touched her chin and tried to pronounce the words. When she found that she could speak, she quickly knelt down and crawled to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. We, as a couple, were just a little greedy for money and deducted some of the workers' monthly wages. It was he who came to our door and asked us to kidnap a young and beautiful civilian woman. Each one is worth a hundred taels. As for the silver pearl powder, it was he who gave it to us. By the time you react, it will be too late. He is so cunning, and he must have given away the silver pearl powder to many people."

The emperor did not have the time to settle the lawsuit, and her words may not be true, so he directly ordered Er Kang.

"Erkang, cut off the head of this Burmese man and send an envoy to the hands of King Mengbai of Burma, asking them to send the kidnapped woman back intact as soon as possible. If you can't do it, then we will see the truth on the battlefield. "

Brother Long was still thinking about begging for mercy, but in the next second, blood spattered three feet, and his head appeared in Er Kang's hand, his eyes widening.

"Your Majesty, I will do it now."

When Boss Du and his wife saw Brother Long dying so quickly, they killed him immediately. They were frightened and fainted.

Just as Erkan was about to leave, Balben stopped him and said, "Go slowly, Your Majesty. The King of Burma actually dared to allow his men to kidnap my Saya. I really can't swallow this breath. If the Qing Dynasty wants to send troops to attack Burma and Tibet will form an alliance with you and attack together. Let that old guy Mengbai see that my king's Saya is not so easy to bully."

The emperor was not surprised at all. Balben was known to be a maniac about doting on women. With Tibet as his big ally, Burma was nothing and he could be defeated easily.

"Baliben, then we have agreed that the Qing Dynasty and Tibet will become allies to jointly resist Burma."

Saya ran to her father, hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.

"Father, when the time comes, my daughter will go out in person to show them that Tibetan women can hold up half the sky. They will never be allowed to bully her."

After hearing this, Ertai glanced at Saya worriedly. Does this silly girl know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield? If she is not careful, she will be wrapped in horse leather and die badly.

Balben touched his daughter's head and turned to look at Erkan who was stopped by him.

"That man named Erkang, please stop by the embassy and inform our Tibetan envoys, so that he can go to Burma with the Qing envoys to give Mengbai a blow."

Erkang nodded, holding the head in his hand, looking at each other with his brother, and quickly left the Yangxin Hall.

Naturally, the emperor would not relax his investigation of Yin Zhufen. He did not believe a word of what they said, "Pei Mu, listen to the order!"

Pei Mu just got an official position, but he didn't expect to be reused so quickly. As expected, heaven will give him a big job, and Pei Mu will make a difference!

"Your Majesty, no matter what you order, I will not hesitate even if I go through fire and water."

The emperor was quite interested when he saw his prepared look. For Pei Shangshu's sake, he wanted to see how capable this boy was.

"I ordered you to go to Dali Temple immediately to find Shen Yuqing, the young minister of Dali Temple, and told him that I want him to investigate within a month how many people in the capital are consuming silver pearl powder secretly. As for you being responsible for taking action, can you do it? Can you? OK!"

Pei Mu had assigned him such an honorable task when he first took office. As for whether he could do it or not, he must do it. A man couldn't say no.

"Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission."

Pei Mu thought very well. After all, Shen Yuqing was still his brother-in-law. He was Qing'er's brother. He would definitely take care of him. With his help, the task assigned by the emperor would be easy.

When the emperor saw him issuing a military order, he made a promise without hesitation.

"Okay, as long as you can satisfy me, you can be promoted to a higher rank."

Pei Mu's eyes lit up. He didn't realize how difficult this task was. He only heard the four words "promotion and title". If Pei Shangshu found out, he could be beaten to death. Can't he be more tactful? No matter how great your abilities are, you can show off your fart abilities.

The emperor felt very distressed when he saw the blue eyes under Xiao Yanzi's eyes, "Little Yanzi, you have been tired for a day, go back and rest quickly."

"Huang Ama, you are such a good emperor. Little Swallow admires you very much."

The emperor was very pleased with the admiring look in Xiao Yanzi's eyes.

The emperor smiled fondly, "Okay, stop talking so much and go back to Shufangzhai."

"Your Majesty, I will take Saya back with me." Balben said and left.

Xiao Yanzi sent Liu Hong and the others to the palace gate and were about to leave.

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi ran towards the crowd with a large bag of things and shouted loudly.

"Gege, Gege~"

"Go slowly, go slowly."

The two of them ran over panting and gently put down the large packages they were carrying.

"Gege, this is a gift specially prepared by Mingzhu Gege and Jinsuo for Miss Liu Hong. Let me take it back together."

Little Yanzi opened the bag and saw that there were all kinds of silks and satins, jewelry, pastries from the imperial kitchen, etc.

"Liu Hong, take it quickly, these are all good things."

Liu Hong declined in every possible way and said with a smile, "Little Yanzi, there are many places where you need money in the palace. You and Ziwei can keep these things for you and use. I don't know how many times my life will be better than in the courtyard. These things It’s really no use.”

Xiao Yanzi rolled her big eyes and pretended to walk back with the bundle. When Liu Hong and the others left the palace gate, she threw the bundle out with one force.

"Liu Hong, catch it quickly!"

After throwing it away, he took Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Dengzi and ran away quickly, not giving Liu Hong a chance to hesitate.

Why can't it be used? Li Qian is an official after all. After Liu Hong marries him, she will definitely attend various gatherings and so on. Then these things will come in handy.

Liu Hong knew that this must be the case, so she flew forward to catch the baggage and landed it firmly on the ground.

"Liu Hong, you are so amazing. Huanzhu Princess and Mingzhu Princess are your good sisters. You have done your best and have been appreciated by the Queen. You are simply a hero among women. My brother is really lucky."

Pei Mu's ambiguous eyes kept flowing between Liu Hong and Li Qian.
