Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Jia Yuanchun's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She knew that her parents and...other people, first of all, naturally hoped that she could enter the Eastern Palace, slowly climb up to the position of favorite concubine, and then quietly climb up to the position of queen.

But if this approach doesn't work, they will naturally settle for the next best thing and let her enter a mansion they are looking forward to and become the mistress of that mansion.

To this end, they would certainly wear pink, ride in a sedan chair, and enter through the side door.

but!

She is the eldest daughter of a Duke's family, why should she become someone else's concubine? !

Jia Yuanchun could no longer conceal her fear and anxiety, and her eyes were filled with pleading as she looked straight at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng glanced at her and smiled sweetly: "Your Highness is joking again!

"Your Majesty and the Queen love their sons so much. The palaces of the princes were either granted by His Majesty himself or appointed by the Queen. How can it be your turn as a brother to interfere in other people's backyards?

"If the ministers hear about this, they will definitely send me, a humble concubine who gave you this advice, to the cold palace!"

The prince looked at her approvingly and said, "You are smart. You didn't dig a hole to bury yourself."

Only then did Yuanchun breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't go there...anywhere is fine.

"What I mean is," Wang Xifeng smiled, with a sly look in her eyes, "the four kings and eight gentlemen can be considered old friends.

"Ms. Jia grew up under the watchful eyes of the elders.

"They naturally knew each other very well, and would not misunderstand Ms. Jia's character because of one or two accidents or a few idle words.

“As I recall, Prince Beijing Shui Rong has not yet performed his coming-of-age ceremony, so his princess consort will naturally have to be arranged in marriage by Your Majesty.

"How about - Your Highness go and ask His Majesty to let Ms. Jia marry Prince Beijing as his consort?"

Since you have already been tied together, don't harm others anymore, tie them up more tightly!

The prince looked at Wang Xifeng's playful eyes, and thought of the chaotic state of the court where the four kings and eight officials were quarreling and forming factions, and suddenly he thought that this idea was simply brilliant!

"Well! You've hit the nail on the head. Father was still having a headache yesterday, saying that it's hard to find a marriage for Shui Rong. It's too high or too low, and the ages of princesses and county ladies are not suitable..."

The prince smiled.

Wang Xifeng's expression suddenly changed. She straightened up involuntarily and put her hands on the table in fists: "Princess?!"

The prince knew that she was thinking of He Ke all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but laugh. He naturally reached out and patted her tightly clenched fist:

"Shui Rong is eighteen this year, and he is about the same age and appearance as Ms. Jia. I will go and mention it to my father tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng's tense shoulders finally relaxed and her waist softened.

Prince Beijing...

The face of the high-spirited, handsome and romantic young man flashed through Jia Yuanchun's mind. She suddenly felt burning on her face. She quickly lowered her head, and her legs and feet instantly regained strength, and she walked quickly.

The two people sitting above saw this scene and couldn't help but look at each other.

Wang Xifeng was in a good mood, so she smiled quietly and moved closer, whispering teasingly, "Your Highness, this is not possible!

"Look, a mere female historian, when she heard that she was going to marry Prince Beijing, her steps were so light that they could fly to the sky! She didn't even think about fighting for a palace in the East Palace!"

The prince's hands froze. After a while, he calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip: "You will know whether I can do it or not."

That's not what she meant!

Wang Xifeng blushed immediately and hurried to fetch tea bowls to cover up her blush.

"Alright, let's leave it like this for these two." The prince stood up and said, "The princess showed me your arrangement for the newcomers, well done.

"As for the matter of moving the palace, the Crown Princess may not be able to bear it, so you have to do it - let her have a title."

Wang Xifeng also hurriedly stood up, agreed respectfully, and knelt to see the prince off.

Seeing the prince walk away in a swift and graceful manner, An'er came up to help Wang Xifeng back to the inner room, and then complained in a low voice: "You are asked to do all the work, but you want to take credit for it! And you don't even pay me. I don't know what you are trying to do!"

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "Don't be impatient!"

The prince told her so far in advance that he would let her preside over the move to the palace, and he even frankly stated that he would let her work for free so that the crown princess would gain a reputation for being virtuous.

This is the proud expression he expressed when he saw his wives and concubines living in harmony in his backyard.

That's why she sent Red Bean to the Criminal Department.

After all, if such a spineless person confessed, there would be no word that the prince would like to hear.

At a time like this when things are going smoothly, someone like this should jump out and disgust the prince - to prevent him from coming here and disgusting himself as if nothing had happened!

Sure enough, the next morning, before leaving Lizheng Hall, Chen Duo presented Hongdou's testimony and attached some supporting evidence that he already knew:

"Hongdou was originally a hidden chess piece placed in the East Palace by some noble in Daming Palace.

"But because she didn't know who was behind her, when Li Shuren recruited her, she was willing to be used by him.

"Unfortunately, Wang Liangdi was a smart person. Not long after she moved into Yiqiu Palace, she found out something was wrong with her. And by then, Li Shuren had already passed away, so she didn't force herself to resist.

"After Wang Liang Di found out the truth, she did investigate, but she had just entered the palace at that time and couldn't do anything too big, so she didn't find anything.

"But later on, Hongdou's superior died when I was investigating the Eastern Palace, and no one took care of her anymore.

"Wang Liang Di refused to compete for favor, and Hong Dou was too ambitious. After much thought, it happened that Zhu Qing was testing her frequently at that time, so she simply turned to the Crown Princess..."

The prince's face darkened.

"Hongdou would secretly go to Cheng'en Palace every three days to report Wang Liangdi's behavior and words to Gan Lan. The Crown Princess also met her once, when she was still called Qiaogui.

"After she changed her name, when she went to Cheng'en Palace again, she was there to take over Lady Jia's job. The Crown Princess summoned her again and hated her new name so much that she gave her a plate of red bean cakes.

"But Hongdou was so frightened that she didn't even eat a single bite of the red bean cakes. She quietly broke them into pieces and buried them in the mud among the flowers and trees in the backyard.

“I went to check it out early this morning, and there is nothing wrong with the land.

"But her visit to Cheng'en Palace was discovered by Lady Jia, and the two of them colluded with each other. Hongdou passed on the outside news to Lady Jia, and Lady Jia covered up the fact that she was the Crown Princess's spy.

"As for the silver, it was Lord Lin's wife... it was Jia Min, the aunt of the Jia family, who came to ask for an audience with Wang Liangdi, and then openly asked Hongdou to pass it on to Lady Jia, and Hongdou withheld 500 taels from it.

"Dame Wang therefore announced that she would never meet Jia Min again - this was also the reason why Lord Lin divorced this Jia."

Chen Duo investigated these things thoroughly and connected them all together.

The prince took the confession, pondered for a while, and handed it back to Chen Duo: "I am going to Daming Palace. You copy this confession and give it to the Crown Princess."

Chen Duo was shocked: "This..."

"As I say, Hongdou raped Wang Liangdi and now rapes her. It's really hateful. I handed Hongdou over to her. It's up to her to do whatever she wants with him.

"Take a good look at the Crown Princess's method of dealing with the matter and tell me when you come back."

The prince stared coldly at the horizon, his voice extremely stiff.
