After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 443 Regaining Luck

Rose Courtyard.

After hearing that the prince brought back a woman, Dou Qingyi was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.

Didn’t His Highness enter the palace today?

Why did he bring a woman back?

If the imperial edict of enthronement has not arrived at the prince's mansion at this time, then the imperial edict should not have arrived.

This could also explain why Eunuch Zhen ran away just now. Something must have gone wrong with the enthronement ceremony.

Dou Qingyi clenched her fist and said to her personal maid, "Huizhi, go find Manager Jia and ask him to find out what happened."

"Yes."

The personal maid named Huizhi was gone.

Manager Jia was beaten with a stick a few days ago and is now recuperating in his room.

When Huizhi came to him and told him that the prince had brought back a woman and that something unexpected had happened with the enthronement, he was more surprised than Dou Qingyi.

"Bringing back another one?"

Compared with the obstruction of the enthronement, Manager Jia felt that the fact that the prince brought back a second woman was even more outrageous.

He has served the prince for many years, but he never knew that the prince was so romantic.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Manager Jia dragged his still aching butt and went to ask someone.

After all, he is the manager. No news in the mansion can be hidden from him, and he also has a say with the masters in the palace.

Half an hour later, he limped to the Rose Courtyard.

"My dear, I pay my respects to the Madam."

He bowed his hands in salute.

I have been recuperating these days, eating nothing but doing nothing, and I have become a little healthier.

Dou Qingyi glanced at him and said gently, "Manager Jia, there is no need to be so polite. Come in, please take a seat."

Manager Jia said awkwardly, "Thank you, Madam. I will not sit down any more."

Dou Qingyi recalled the time he was beaten with a stick not long ago and sighed, "I was careless."

Steward Jia smiled and said, "Madam is concentrating on the affairs of His Highness and the Prince. She is busy with trivial matters and I dare not let Madam worry about it."

Dou Qingyi said, "Manager Jia, please don't say these polite words to me. What have you learned about the woman that His Highness brought back? Who is her family? Which lady in the palace gave her to His Highness?"

This was the only possibility Dou Qingyi could think of.

Someone in the palace has set his eyes on the position of Crown Prince and is trying to trick Your Majesty.

"This……"

Manager Jia was very hesitant.

Dou Qingyi said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

This time, it was Manager Jia's turn to sigh: "To be honest, I haven't found out the origins of that lady. After all, she was not given by the Empress in the palace, and has nothing to do with the Imperial Palace. However..."

Dou Qingyi frowned: "What is it?"

Manager Jia said: "She is somewhat related to Young Master Lin Yuan. It seems...she is Young Master Lin Yuan's mother."

Dou Qingyi clenched her handkerchief tightly: "Your Highness's old friend?"

Manager Jia smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know about this little one."

He is a manager, not a scout. How can he find out someone's background so quickly?

He took a look at Dou Qingyi's expression and said carefully: "In addition, there is one more thing..."

Dou Qingyi said: "Speak!"

Manager Jia heard her anger. As a man, he didn't quite understand why the lady was so angry.

It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that his master is the crown prince. Could it be that she will be the only woman in the backyard for his entire life?

"Ma'am, don't be angry first."

Because even more annoying things are yet to come.

"Your Majesty has rescinded the order."

"Which destiny?"

"Conferring the title of Crown Princess."

To be precise, Dou Qingyi was canonized as the Crown Princess.

It is hard to say whether other women will be canonized in the future.

Dou Qingyi guessed right about one thing.

The ladies in the palace were extremely jealous of the position of Crown Princess, and each of them wanted to marry her own family members into the Crown Prince's Mansion.

Dou Qingyi's face turned pale: "Why?"

Manager Jia said, "I don't know."

Dou Qingyi seemed to have been drained of all her strength.

She had been sentenced to the position of Crown Princess for so long, and the imperial decree had clearly been issued, except for the announcement, but it was taken back by His Majesty.

why?

Why exactly?

Could it be that the prince begged His Majesty for that woman?

Or is it that Lu Linyuan, that brat with a shady background, has deceived His Majesty?

Why did she miss the chance to become the Crown Princess every time?

Dou Qingyi tried her best to suppress her anger and forced an ugly smile: "The first time it was Lu Linyuan, and this time it was because of Lu Linyuan's mother. I'm very curious, which old friend of your Highness is this woman?"

Manager Jia felt his scalp tingling when he saw the creepy smile.

It's really terrible when a woman becomes jealous!

The news brought by Falcon this time was exchanged for a total of three pieces of jerky.

Three!

There are only two gossips about this dog man, even if he plays a dead eagle!

Falcon concluded: Dog men are worthless!

Meng Qianqian only knew that Liu Qingyun was in the Prince's Mansion, and she was not sure whether she came there voluntarily or was abducted. After all, Lu Yuan was in the palace and had no idea that Liu Qingyun had come to the imperial city.

Meng Qianqian decided to go to the Prince's Mansion.

Tan Er said: "I'll go too!"

Meng Qianqian said softly: "You are Wuyou's maid. You can eat and drink here for free, but if you really disappear, it will arouse suspicion. Besides, I also need you to cover for me."

Tan Er thought about it and said, "Okay!"

"So nice."

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips and said, "I'll bring you some candied haws when I come back."

Tan Er held up her finger: "Two strings!"

"it is good."

Meng Qianqian agreed with a smile.

After dark, Meng Qianqian changed into night clothes and left Yan Niangzi's yard with Falcon.

Gongsun Ziyu had just come back from outside and when passing by the small garden, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a very fast figure.

She grew up in Qianji Pavilion and was very familiar with Qianji Pavilion's Qinggong.

It was clear that the martial arts that person was performing were not from our sect.

She was instantly alert: "Who is it?"

There was no response.

She immediately drew her whip and rushed into the garden.

But when she got there, the other person slipped away again.

"Well, you fearless little thief, how dare you trespass into the Qianji Pavilion? I will catch you today and skin you alive!"

Gongsun Ziyu followed the other party's movements all the way, and finally saw him when he was about to reach the wall of the mansion.

The man is climbing over the wall.

"Want to run?"

Gongsun Ziyu swung the whip and rolled the other person down.

"Ouch!"

Tan'er screamed and took off the whip wrapped around her waist with her silver-gloved hands.

"Phew, thank goodness I have my sister's body armor."

Before Tan'er entered Qianji Pavilion, Meng Qianqian gave Tan'er the Tiancan silk soft armor that Liu Muyan had given her.

Gongsun Ziyu said coldly, "Why is it you? What are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Tan Er snorted, "Want to reverse the pipe?"

Gongsun Ziyu snorted coldly: "You climbed over the wall and left the house in the middle of the night. I think you are planning something shameful, right?"

"Tan'er!"

Shang Wuyou's voice suddenly came from not far away.

Under the moonlight, the young man, tall and slender as a pine or bamboo, walked towards us with an indifferent expression.

Gongsun Ziyu said to Shang Wuyou unhappily, "Gongsun Wuyou, your good maid climbed over the wall and left the house in the middle of the night. I want to see how you are going to explain this time."

Shang Wuyou looked at Tan'er and asked, "What are you doing outside?"

Tan Er folded her arms and said confidently, "Buy some candied haws!"

Gongsun Ziyu asked, "Why don't you go through the front door to buy candied haws?"

Tan Er asked back: "I am just a maid. I am going to go through the main gate. Will you let me go?"

Shang Wuyou said: "If you want to leave the house in the future, just tell me. Do you want to go now?"

"No! I can't eat anymore!"

After Tan'er finished speaking angrily, she stomped her feet and walked away angrily!

Shang Wuyou said to Gongsun Ziyu: "Second sister."

"Stop calling me second sister!"

Gongsun Ziyu said this in a cold voice and walked away with a cold expression.

Shang Wuyou sighed, turned around and caught up with Tan'er.

"Who were you covering for just now? Was it that woman again?"

Tan Er looked up at the sky: "I don't understand!"

Shang Wuyou snorted sarcastically: "It seems to be her."

"Hey!"

Tan Er stopped walking, put her hands on her hips and glared at him seriously, "If you dare to reveal my whereabouts, I will kill you!"

Shang Wuyou said expressionlessly: "I'm not interested in her affairs."

Tan Er pouted and continued walking forward: "It would be best if you can be sensible!"

Shang Wuyou said puzzledly: "She has no relationship with you, she just bought you from a human trafficker because she saw that you have some skills. Are you so devoted to her?"

Tan Er said capriciously: "I like it, I want to control it!"

Shang Wuyou snorted, "You like her, Changle likes her too, I really don't know what kind of drug she gave you?"

Tan Er tilted her head: "I'm sick, sister has medicine!"

Shang Wuyou asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Tan Er turned around and glared at him fiercely: "You are a murderer!"

Shang Wuyou: “…”

On the way back to the yard, Gongsun Ziyu thought more and more that something was wrong. Shang Wuyou had always spoiled that damn girl. If she wanted to buy candied haws, she could just ask and there would be plenty of people to buy them for her. Was there any need for her to climb over the wall in the middle of the night?

She turned around and went to Xiao Ronger's yard, and was told that Xiao Ronger was with Gongsun Liuying.

"Mom! Sister!"

As soon as Gongsun Ziyu reached the door, she was stopped by Hongxiu, Xiao Ronger's personal maid.

Hong Xiu said softly, "Second Miss, Madam and the eldest lady are discussing important matters, so please do not disturb them."

Gongsun Ziyu muttered, "Is there anything I cannot bear to hear?"

Hong Xiu glanced at the closed door and said with a smile, "The eldest lady is practicing acupuncture."

"I want to learn too!"

Gongsun Ziyu said this and was about to push the door.

Hongxiu stepped aside and stood in front of her: "Second Miss, you can't do that today. This is Madam's order."

Gongsun Ziyu can whip anyone except Hongxiu.

Hongxiu is her mother's confidante and is highly valued by her mother.

Gongsun Ziyu said dissatisfiedly: "There is a traitor in Qianji Pavilion!"

Hongxiu didn't move.

Gongsun Ziyu was sure that she really couldn't get in, and couldn't help wondering: "What could be more important than catching a traitor?"

inside the room.

Gongsun Liuying's hand holding the silver needle trembled slightly. She pointed it at the acupuncture points of a wooden man for a long time, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Or not!"

Her strength loosened, and the hand holding the silver needle dropped onto the table, "Mom, I can't hold the silver needle steadily anymore."

Xiao Ronger's eyes flashed with shock and distress: "Are you busy with your wedding and going to Anjiyuan to treat patients? Are you overworked?"

Gongsun Liuying shook her head and said breathlessly, "I don't know."

Xiao Ronger's eyes fell on her wrist. After a moment, she turned to look at the third person in the room: "Elder You, please take a look at Liuying for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Elder You stepped forward and said to Xiao Rong'er and Gongsun Liuying, "Miss."

Gongsun Liuying handed him her wrist.

He felt Xiao Ronger's pulse and bones: "No fractures, no internal injuries."

Gongsun Liuying herself was also proficient in medicine, and she had already known what Elder You had said.

In addition to medical skills, Elder You also has a poison skill that is different from ordinary people.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ronger invited him over.

After Elder You took Gongsun Liuying's pulse, he scratched her finger, took a few drops of blood, and dripped them into a jade bottle.

"There is no sign of poisoning, nor any poison."

Although Gongsun Liuying was born prematurely, as the daughter of destiny, she had hardly ever been sick since childhood. But now her hands were shaking inexplicably.

You know, as the successor of the Thirteen Ghost Needles, her hands are her weapons and there can't be any mistakes.

"It may not be due to pathology." Elder You said, "The wedding date is approaching, and the young lady may be too nervous. Such things are not uncommon, and they are more common among women. After the wedding, when her mood calms down, the symptoms will naturally disappear."

Gongsun Liuying's expression relaxed: "I hope so."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Xiao Rong'er, only to find that she seemed distracted. "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ronger came back to her senses and smiled, "Ah, it's nothing. I heard what Elder You said, and that's what I said. You must have been too busy these days and you don't even realize you're nervous. After all, a girl's marriage is not like a man's marriage. You're leaving Qianji Pavilion and going to someone else's house. Don't say you're nervous. I'm also worried. I'm afraid you've been wronged in the Prince's Mansion."

Gongsun Liuying said: "My daughter will not be wronged."

Xiao Ronger smiled and said, "Yes, the Crown Princess is one of us."

Her daughter would be fine.

The girl of destiny is her daughter, and no one can take away her daughter's destiny.

Falcon had been a spy in the Prince's Palace for quite some time and knew the terrain here like the back of his hand.

It took Meng Qianqian to perfectly avoid the patrolling guards and entered an uninhabited courtyard with ease.

Next, it flew to the main courtyard, grabbed Liu Qingyun's sleeve and pulled him out.

Liu Qingyun understood and let it lead the way.

As soon as he left the main courtyard, Liu Qingyun met Dou Qingyi unexpectedly.

Dou Qingyi came to see the prince.

She was dressed in plain clothes, looking like a fairy, as if she was not of this world.

Such beauty might be a fatal temptation in the eyes of men, but in Liu Qingyun's eyes, it was nothing.

Liu Qingyun just glanced at her to prevent them from bumping into each other, and then left without saying a word.

As she passed Dou Qingyi, the gentle evening breeze blew up her veil.

Dou Qingyi saw the stunning face clearly.

The memory flashed back and her breathing stopped for a moment.

This is a stunningly beautiful face that will make you fall in love with it at first sight. It is not as if she is a fairy from heaven, but a real fairy from heaven, beautiful enough to be unforgettable for a lifetime.

"you--"

Dou Qingyi turned around subconsciously and followed her back.

Liu Qingyun heard her voice and turned around to look at her strangely: "I didn't bump into you."

After saying that, he left without looking back again.

Dou Qingyi's body swayed.

Huizhi quickly supported her and said, "Madam, are you okay?"

Dou Qingyi covered her chest and trembled all over: "It's her..."

Huizhi asked, "Does Madam know her?"

More than just knowing each other?

Dou Qingyi gently stroked her face, and dusty memories flooded into her mind.

"what's your name?"

"My name is Qingqing."
