After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

King Rui and King Qi abused the crown prince for private punishment, causing him serious injuries.

Lu Fengyin ordered Lu Zhaoyan to return to the Prince's Mansion to recuperate, and then return to the Dali Temple for investigation after he was out of danger.

It was in accordance with the rules and laws, and all the officials had no objection.

"I'm not seriously injured."

Lu Zhaoyan grabbed his clothes and refused to let Liu Qingyun check his injuries.

Liu Qingyun pushed him down on the bed and tore his clothes.

When the court doctor entered the room with the medicine, he saw his own frail and incapable prince being ridden by the mighty and domineering lady, with his clothes torn to shreds...

That scene is as shocking as it can be.

"I...I took the wrong path...Madam, please continue..."

Don't do anything to spoil your wife's fun.

After everyone left, he covered his eyes and took a few steps back: "Your Highness is injured, I hope Madam can exercise some restraint."

...Just don't kill him.

Lu Zhaoyan: “…”

Liu Qingyun: “…”

After Prince Jin came out of the National Master's Hall, he did not go to the Ministry of Rites as he said, but went to the General's Mansion.

"Your Highness."

In the study, Hu Lie bowed to him.

King Jin quickly held up his hands and said, "Uncle, there are no outsiders here, no need to be polite!"

Hu Lie nodded and pointed to the imperial chair: "Your Highness, please take a seat."

After the King of Jin sat down, Hu Lie sat down beside him.

The King of Jin looked very solemn: "Uncle, you should have received the news of what happened during the day, right?"

Hu Lie nodded: "The princess led her troops into the city, and there was a lot of noise."

The King of Jin said helplessly: "My third brother is dead, my fourth brother is missing, and now even Qi'er is..."

In the National Master's Hall, he did not discuss Lu Qi's whereabouts with Gongsun Yanming, just as Gongsun Yanming did not mention Gongsun Yu's whereabouts to him.

It's not that he doesn't trust Gongsun Yanming. They are just grasshoppers on the same boat, dependent on each other for life and death, and there is nothing to hide.

However, the marriage between Lu Qi and Gongsun Liuying was not a happy one, and rumors that Gongsun Liuying escaped from the marriage and wanted to marry the emperor's eldest grandson were rampant.

He was somewhat resentful.

When mentioning Lu Qi, one will inevitably mention Gongsun Liuying.

He really didn't want to say this.

Hu Lie pondered and said, "The prince...may have fallen into the hands of the princess."

Prince Jin's expression changed slightly.

Hu Lie asked again: "Has the princess ever threatened His Highness?"

King Jin shook his head: "No, I just gave a few warnings."

Hu Lie said dangerously, "Killing King Rui and forcing King Qi to leave is not as simple as showing off one's power. Our eldest princess has really been raised to have a big ambition."

King Jin asked, "Uncle, what should I do now? Qi'er is my only son after all, and I don't want anything to happen to him."

This time I really mean it.

After all, who would want to have no descendants?

Besides, this is not conducive to his ascension to the throne.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Hu Lie said, "We don't need to send too many people to the King of Qi for the time being, but we can't not look for them, otherwise it would seem that Your Highness, as the elder brother, doesn't care about the relationship between brothers."

King Jin nodded: "Uncle is right."

Hu Lie continued, "Besides, the funeral of King Rui cannot be neglected."

Prince Jin hesitated: "Father's...life and death are uncertain. If I make a big fuss about my third brother's funeral, would it be...unfilial?"

Hu Lie said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, not to mention that filial piety is filial piety, and brotherly love and respect are also virtues. Your Highness can regain the people's support that was taken away by the princess through this incident."

The King of Jin suddenly understood something: "I understand. I will go to the Ministry of Rites in a moment to discuss the funeral arrangements for my third brother."

Hu Lie added: "Finally, this eldest princess is quite strange."

The King of Jin felt the same way: "Uncle, you fought with her on the battlefield. Was she a brave and resourceful person who hid her talents?"

Hu Lie recalled: "When defending Yuzhou City, she did offer a good plan and blocked three attacks by bandits. Most of the time, she was with the late emperor and your father. With the protection of the father and son, she picked up a lot of military merits along the way. But it's not entirely true to say that she picked up all the merits."

"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. She would not survive if she didn't have some real skills. But she is not so cunning as to play you and the two princes in her hands."

King Jin frowned: "So what happened in the fiefdom?"

As the two were talking, a secret guard flashed in and knelt on one knee to bow to Hu Lie.

Hu Lie said, "Speak."

The secret guard said, "Yes, I have found out that the princess has a new lover named Zhu Huan, who entered the princess's mansion about a month ago. His parents died early, and he lives with a mute sister. After being brought back to the princess's mansion by the princess, Zhu Huan completely captured her heart, and his mute sister was also treated like a rich lady in the mansion. This time when she returned to the city, the princess brought Zhu Huan with her."

The King of Jin asked in surprise, "Uncle, could it be that the master behind the eldest princess is this concubine named Zhu Huan?"

Hu Lie's eyes flashed coldly: "We'll know if he's behind this or not! Go and kidnap this guy named Zhu Huan!"

The King of Jin hesitated and said, "Uncle, that person belongs to the eldest princess - just tie him up like this -"

Hu Lie said solemnly, "Prince Rui is still a prince, didn't she kill him just because she said so? She wanted to use iron-blooded means to intimidate His Highness, Qianji Pavilion and the General's Mansion, but she can't do what she wants!"

Hu Lie is a man of extremely strong character.

When it comes to ruthlessness, he has never lost!

-

Kunning Palace.

The queen fell into a deep sleep after being comforted by Meng Qianqian.

I really fell asleep.

Meng Qianqian glanced calmly at the incense burner on the cabinet. This calming incense was specially made from herbs from Wushan, and it could help the queen sleep soundly until dawn.

The conversation she had just had with the Queen flashed through her mind.

"Feng Yin, you and I are family. I watched you grow up under my watch. In my heart, you are no different from my own daughter. If you have anything to ask, feel free to ask."

The queen's tone was gentle and her eyes were sincere, which made people think that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother.

Meng Qianqian, wearing that cold human skin mask, seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.

The queen was a little anxious: "But something big happened?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Sister-in-law, the King of Qi killed the King of Rui and fled for fear of punishment."

The queen was furious: "How could it be..."

Meng Qianqian continued: "Feng Yin also felt it was strange. Feng Yin was wondering if the King of Qi had someone poison him, so he lost his mind and killed the King of Rui by mistake. Feng Yin had no evidence, and he dared not make a rash judgment in front of the civil and military officials. Feng Yin was thinking that the King of Qi was raised by his sister-in-law, what if..."

The queen understood and closed her eyes helplessly: "If he contacts me, I will let you know."

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Sister-in-law is righteous!"

The Queen asked, "Is this what you want to ask?"

Meng Qianqian said: "There is another thing, sister-in-law, do you know where to hide in the cold palace?"

The queen's eyes flickered.
