Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Zifu, who was also "scolded", went home happily and comfortably for a "vacation".

Yuan had already heard her husband talk about the Nan Mansion affairs. He might have done something wrong, so she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that he no longer had to care about the Nan Mansion affairs.

He immediately ordered people to prepare the wine and food that Prince Fu liked.

When he heard that Concubine Zhen and Jia Jing had been captured, he drank three cups of wine happily and whispered to Prince Fu:

"Will they take over the two prefectures as well?"

Wang Zifu nodded immediately: "Of course!

"The Supreme One does not tolerate any sand in his eyes!

“If the crime the Emperor charges today is forming a clique for personal gain and having disloyal intentions, then His Majesty will definitely return to the capital immediately to protect these old ministers.

“At most, they will be stripped of their titles and demoted, but their foundation will not be damaged.

"But the Emperor's move was really clever, he directly arranged a 'private meeting'!

"In fact, everyone knows that the so-called 'secret meeting' is just a nice way of saying 'affair'!

"Just wait.

"Once Concubine Zhen returns to the other palace, she will surely fall seriously ill and die.

"As for Jia Jing, isn't he a Taoist practitioner? After taking a golden elixir, won't he be able to ascend to heaven?

"As for those two families, the Supreme Lord has turned a blind eye to all the dirty deeds they have done over the years. If any one of them is dug up now, it would be enough to sue them!"

As he said this, Wang Zifu raised his head and drank the glass of wine.

Hearing this, Yuan hesitated for a moment: "After all, the Jia family still has the eldest aunt. If she is really involved, will Feng'er be implicated?"

Wang Zifu shook his head nonchalantly: "The Emperor hasn't used Feng'er and me enough, why would he let us go out and take the blame so soon?

"Don't worry! Before the four kings and eight dukes die, Feng'er and I will be safe."

Yuan fell silent.

"Feng'er asked you to enter the palace. When will you go?" Wang Zifu seemed not to notice Yuan's silence.

Yuan was startled and forced herself to smile before saying, "I told the maid that I was afraid of the heat, and she told me to come and see you on a rainy day."

"There have been a lot of things going on recently, and she is not at peace. Calm yourself down, and then bring Ke'er into the palace."

Wang Zifu drank another glass of wine, touched his stomach and laughed, "I'm full, madam, your husband is going to act crazy!"

Yuan sighed and gave him a glare: "I know!"

The next day, Wang Xifeng heard the news outside.

When the Northern Prince's Concubine Dowager heard that the Northern Prince had spent the night drunk in the Southern Palace during the Southern Palace's funeral, she flew into a rage and enforced family rules in the inner courtyard, with the Northern Prince being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

As for the Xiaoyao Palace, as soon as the gates were opened, a female corpse was quietly pulled out from the back door of the palace.

The city gate guard lifted the straw mat and took a look, and saw a maid who had been beaten so badly that her true appearance could not be seen.

The old man driving the cart sighed and complained, "My master has such a bad temper."

As for Wang Zifu, he got drunk when he got home and made a scene. He wanted to go back to the old house in Jinling to visit the graves, but Mrs. Yuan poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Wang Xifeng held her forehead with her hand when she heard this.

But he had to do it, so he hurriedly ordered Chunnuan to go out and check, but when he came back he reported:

"The master was drunk and in a coma, and the lady was standing by the bed embroidering a fan cover, and there was also a hangover soup next to her."

When the news reached Penglai Palace, Empress Mo and Concubine Wu De were drinking tea together and they burst into laughter when they heard it.

Only Emperor Chongzhao frowned slightly after hearing the news from Xiaoyao Palace.

"I remember that Xiaojiu has always been submissive and docile. How could he whip a maid to death?!"

Chen Duo crossed his arms and bowed his head: "In fact, Prince Xiaoyao seeks profit and avoids harm, is sensitive and suspicious, but can also make decisions promptly and protect himself.

"Such a person may be cowardly in private, but he may also be violent."

Emperor Chongzhao still didn't believe it: "Check it out."

"Yes." Chen Duo asked again, "Jia Jing has made up his mind not to say a word. Even though he has the handkerchief, he is only willing to admit that it is a private affair."

Emperor Chongzhao laughed angrily: "Have the people on the silk handkerchief been arrested?"

"The various government offices are secretly arresting people for various reasons." Chen Duo said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, no one will escape."

Emperor Chongzhao also laughed: "You should conduct a careful investigation. You and Jingquan did a good job in this matter.

"When the truth comes out, I will reward you greatly!"

Chen Duo knelt down to thank him, but then smiled and declined: "I don't want you to give me such a big reward. Others will be jealous.

"I would be very happy if you let me investigate and try cases in the inner temple for a long time!"

Emperor Chongzhao laughed: "You bastard!

"If you were obsessed with the case in order to get benefits from both parties, that would be a legitimate reason. But you are very poor.

"If you say you love the bloody torture, that's fine, some people love that tone. But you ran away with an ugly face while you were interrogating.

"Isn't investigating and trying cases for merit and promotion? But you don't have that ambition!

"Chen Duo, what do you want?"

Chen Duo smiled and knelt down on his knees: "In reply to the emperor, my whole family, my entire clan, and even my master and senior brothers who taught me how to investigate cases, were all wrongly killed.

"I only want to do one thing in my life.

"I want to investigate and try cases. I want to reduce the number of unjust cases in the world."

The teasing look on Emperor Chongzhao's face gradually disappeared. He sat up straight and looked at Chen Duo intently.

After a while, he asked, "Do you want to avenge them?"

"In reply to the emperor, I have already avenged my vengeance." Chen Duo raised his head and smiled, "It was the emperor who avenged me!

"It's just that the matter has passed, and I don't want to be involved with those old people anymore, so Your Majesty, please don't ask."

Emperor Chongzhao looked at him for a while, smiled, sat back again, and waved his hand: "Okay! If you don't tell me, I won't ask. Go!"

Chen Duo bowed and went out, then continued to arrest and interrogate people.

Changying was standing beside him, as quiet as a chicken.

"Changying, do you know who Chen Duo's enemy is?" Emperor Chongzhao spoke in a low voice as he watched Chen Duo disappear outside the hall door.

Chang Ying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know. I just found out that Lord Chen has such a huge blood feud.

"Minion, check?"

Emperor Chong Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers, the back of his hand, and the palm for a while, and finally clenched his fist:

“If you investigate on your own, it will make too much noise.

"It's not a good idea to let Chen Duo know that I just said I wouldn't ask, but now I'm sending people to investigate secretly."

Chang Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I said I was going to check, but in fact I will go back and ask Chen Duo and verify it.

"Mr. Chen said that he didn't want to tell you and let the matter go, but he just didn't want to talk about his wife in front of you.

“Who wouldn’t want to appeal to the Emperor for the grievances they feel?

"He's not a god, how can he be so detached?!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's not a big deal!"

Emperor Chongzhao paused, thought about it, and realized that this was indeed the truth.

I couldn't help but laugh: "This is just a blind spot for me."

"It's all because of Lord Chen himself that he is so abominable and pretentious!" Chang Ying scolded with a smile.

Emperor Chongzhao nodded repeatedly: "What a pretentious person! Hateful!"

The two of them laughed at each other.
