After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Feng Qiongzhu sighed, drank her tea leisurely, and said slowly: "Of course I can't give it away for free. At least I have to ask the emperor to return the 100,000 taels of silver for the redemption."

When An Qing, who was standing by, heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then a light flashed in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, as if he saw hope of recovering the 100,000 taels of silver.

Feng Qiongzhu caught a glimpse of An Qing's delighted expression and reminded him lightly, "Since the emperor has taken a fancy to Li Mei'er, let her go to the palace to maximize her value. Also, you have to remind Eunuch Yu that since Li Mei'er is favored by the emperor, she may even get a title or something in the future, so she must be given a decent identity. She is a prostitute in a brothel, and she has become a concubine of an official in the court. Such a background is shameful for the emperor."

Yun Kaizhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Since Li Mei'er was brought back from the temple by Old Madam Feng and now lives in the Feng Mansion, her identity will be determined directly by the Feng Mansion."

Feng Qiongzhu nodded, thinking that this was a good idea. It would not only ensure that Li Meir continued to stay in Feng Mansion, but also allow her to successfully complete her mission. She would definitely not let Lu Minjing go.

"Then let Li Mei'er continue to stay in Feng Mansion." She continued, "For such a stunning beauty, the emperor can't just not show any appreciation, right? How can I let the beauty I personally transformed be left without a name or status? I have to ask the emperor to issue an order for her to enter the palace."

Feng Qiongzhu instructed Xuan Wu who was standing beside her, "Xuan Wu, go to my room and get some skin care ointment. Have the people from the Dark Guards deliver it to Li Mei'er. Tell her that it is a gift from Prince Duan, and ask her to take good care of herself so that she can be favored by the Emperor in the future. Also, tell her not to forget what she should do."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Xuan Wu took the order and left.

Seeing that Feng Qiongzhu had made up her mind, Yun Kaizhou said, "Then I will go to the front hall to meet Eunuch Yu. I'm sure he won't refuse. You wait for me here."

Feng Qiongzhu hummed and continued drinking tea.

The atmosphere in the front hall was solemn.

Eunuch Yu was standing quietly in the front hall.

At this moment, he was waiting for the arrival of the prince.

He knew that every move of the Prince of Duan's Mansion affected the nerves of the entire palace.

As a eunuch sent by the emperor to do work, he must always be vigilant and respectful.

Finally, the sound of light footsteps broke the silence in the front hall.

Yun Kaizhou walked into the front hall with a stern face.

Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and bowed respectfully.

"This old servant pays respect to the prince."

"Eunuch Yu, get up." The prince spoke coldly, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Eunuch Yu stood up and looked up, and saw that Yun Kaizhou had a rosy complexion and a handsome appearance.

He thought to himself that the rumors were true, and it seemed that the prince had already recovered from his previous illness.

He bowed his head and said, "Sir, I came here this time to tell you something important."

Yun Kaizhou waved his hand, signaling Eunuch Yu to speak frankly.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Yu no longer hesitated and told the whole story that the Emperor had fallen in love with the prostitute Li Meir.

"The Emperor has taken a fancy to Li Mei'er?" The prince raised his eyebrows, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, "So what?"

Eunuch Yu swallowed his saliva and continued carefully, "Li Mei'er was originally redeemed by the prince for 100,000 taels of silver and given to Lord Feng. When the emperor learned of this, he specially sent this old servant to hope that the prince would agree to let Li Mei'er enter the palace to serve the emperor."

Although Yun Kaizhou already knew the reason in advance, his face became even gloomier when he heard Eunuch Yu bring it up.

He sneered and said, "Eunuch Yu, do you know where I got that 100,000 taels of silver? That was my hard-earned fortune. For a prostitute, I almost lost everything. Now, you want me to give this woman away for nothing?"

When Eunuch Yu heard Yun Kaizhou brazenly say that he would empty his family's assets, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It seemed that the prince was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him today, and he also understood the dissatisfaction and anger in the prince's heart.

He knew that the prince was lying with his eyes open, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "Prince, calm down. I know this matter is a bit embarrassing. But, since you have already given Li Mei'er to Lord Feng, I am only asking you to give Li Mei'er to the emperor instead. The emperor has a special liking for Li Mei'er. If you can help her, the emperor will definitely remember your kindness."

"Favor?" The prince sneered, "I don't need the emperor's favor. I just want my 100,000 taels of silver back. If the emperor really wants Li Mei'er, then please pay for her redemption himself."

When Eunuch Yu heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect the prince to make such a request so directly. However, he also knew that the prince's words were not unreasonable.

After all, one hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small sum for the prince.

Yun Kaizhou continued, "Eunuch Yu, don't tell me that I gave Li Mei'er to Lord Feng. I was drunk in the brothel at that time and said I would give it to him, but didn't Feng Tingjing refuse at that time? He was so scared that he ran away.

That means Li Meier has been mine from the beginning to the end. I remember that Li Meier temporarily lived in Jing'an Temple. I heard that Eunuch Yu came to me to ask for her after seeing Li Meier at Feng Mansion? I'd like to ask Feng Tingjing about this. Didn't he say he didn't want her? Then why is Li Meier in Feng Mansion?"

Eunuch Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his head helplessly, saying: "Your Highness is right. I will go back and report to the Emperor to see if I can come up with other ways to resolve this matter."

"As for why Li Mei'er is in Feng Mansion, you need to ask Master Feng yourself to find out."

Yun Kaizhou's eyes were as cold as ice. He glanced at Eunuch Yu and reminded him coldly, "Eunuch Yu, I have to remind you. The emperor is now quite interested in that brothel courtesan Li Mei'er. You have to find a way to change her identity. After all, if the world knows that the emperor favors a brothel girl, and that this prince once gave a concubine to an official in the court, it will not be good for the emperor's reputation."

When Eunuch Yu heard this, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally thought that the emperor was just curious and wanted to catch a glimpse of Li Meir's beauty, but he didn't expect things to develop to this point.

It seems that the Prince Duan will not give up easily and may even make a big fuss about this matter.

He asked cautiously, "What do you think, Prince?"

Yun Kaizhou smiled slightly, and seemed confident: "Don't panic, eunuch, I have a good plan. Since Li Mei'er is now in Feng Mansion, let Feng Mansion give her an identity. We can let the old lady of Feng Mansion adopt her as her adopted daughter, so that she can legitimately have a noble identity. Then send her to the palace to be a queen, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
