[Crossing the Book] The Villain Regent's Substitute Princess

The atmosphere in the cold palace is really miserable. Even people who are not crazy, they are still buried in their own affairs with a face of indifference, and their eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, as if they have completely lost hope in this world.

"Sister, excuse me." Luo Qiuyi went to ask a concubine who bowed her head to sew clothes, "Do you know who Caiping was the queen mother's palace maid?"

"Caiping?" The concubine raised her head and glanced at Luo Qiu, raised her finger and then lowered her head again, "That one over there."

Luo Qiuyi looked in the direction she was pointing at, and saw a smirking woman sitting on a grand teacher's chair.

Luo Qiu was taken aback by the woman's gray-haired appearance—according to the information, Caiping is only under 40 years old this year!

"Are you sister Caiping?" Luo Qiuyi walked over and asked.

"Hey hey?" The white-haired woman looked at him and just smirked.

"Stop talking to her." Another cold palace next to her said humanely, "She can only laugh like this, but can't talk."

"..." Luo Qiuyi pondered for a moment, then looked Caiping up and down.

He discovered one thing: Caiping's nails are very long, but very clean.Can a lunatic keep his nails so clean?

Therefore, Luo Qiuyi decided to continue talking to Caiping: "Sister Caiping, I remember that the queen mother is only two or three years older than you, right? She looks as young and beautiful as a 20-year-old girl now. And you see Look, what have you been tossed into?"

"Hey hey." Caiping still just smirked.But there seemed to be a strange look on her face.

"Just because of her, you have wasted more than ten years like this!"

Luo Qiuyi's heart is really full of sympathy for Caiping.

"What about after that? You just spend the rest of your life in the cold palace like this? In fact, you are not too old, don't you want to get married and have children like normal people? As long as you answer my question now, trust me, I can help you get!"

"..." Caiping still didn't answer, but she stopped laughing and looked at Luo Qiuyi with straight eyes.

Luo Qiuyi lowered his voice and said: "I belong to the Prince Regent. As long as you can help the Prince Regent to avenge your mother, he will naturally keep you safe for the rest of your life. If you are not willing to live the rest of your life like this, come with me. "

After finishing speaking, Luo Qiuyi turned and entered the house.

Caiping finally followed.

After closing the door, Caiping burst into tears unexpectedly, "Wow", "You're right! Rather than living here, I'd rather die than live here, I might as well take a gamble! At the beginning, because I knew too much about the Queen Mother , I had no choice but to pretend to be crazy to save my life... But I have regretted it long ago! Living this hopeless life in this cold palace, I would rather die soon!"

"So," Luo Qiu asked solemnly, "You really helped the queen mother poison Lan Fei?!"

"I'm sorry! I have no other choice!" Caiping knelt down towards Luo Qiuyi, "How can I, a little maid, not obey the Queen Mother's orders?!"

"I understand." Luo Qiuyi nodded, "Since I have promised to keep you safe for the rest of your life, I will not break my promise."

Luo Qiu felt that there was no need to discuss this kind of matter with Chen Chonglin.Recently, he feels more and more that their values ​​are actually the same.

"Then tell me now, how did you kill Concubine Lan?"

"At that time, the first emperor gave Empress Lan a sachet. Empress Lan loved it very much and wore it every day...The queen mother asked me to find someone to make a sachet that was exactly the same, and put chronic poison, and then bribed the maid beside Concubine Lan to change the sachet while she was taking a bath..."

"So that's how it is... What a vicious woman!" Luo Qiu couldn't help cursing bitterly, "Then sister Caiping, are you willing to expose the Queen Mother's conspiracy in public?"

"I have nothing to fear now, the worst thing is to die...then when will I expose it?"

"I have to go back and discuss this matter with the Prince Regent. Just wait for my news."

This is a big matter, and Luo Qiuyi really has to discuss it with Chen Chonglin, including the best timing, and whether to directly expose the Queen Mother.

At this moment, Chen Chonglin was busy dealing with another matter in the morning.

That is the county magistrate Liu who dealt with Nashu County.

"This king has already found out that during his tenure as the prefect, magistrate Liu used his position as the prefect to enrich himself and embezzled the disaster relief funds allocated by the court many times, causing countless victims to starve to death. It is a crime that cannot be punished. He should be executed at noon tomorrow. Your Majesty Don't you have any objections with your lovers?"

Chen Chonglin is not a female family member, so he doesn't need to listen to the government behind the curtain, so now he sits with the emperor on the left and right side of the court hall every day.

Although Chen Chonglin would symbolically ask the emperor for his opinion on major decisions, the emperor was like a puppet and hardly dared to express different opinions.

"My lord, I think," at this moment, a minister from below stood up, and that person was Wei Ruling, the prime minister of the left, "maybe the magistrate Liu put some money into his own pocket, but the drought in central Sichuan is indeed very serious and difficult to manage. It can't be said that the victims of the disaster were all killed by him, right? I hope the prince will read it because he has been an official for many years without merit and hard work, so he will spare his life and be dismissed from office."

"Ah." Chen Chongtian sneered, "I know, he has some old friendship with you, Prime Minister Wei..." Chen Chonglin knew very well that County Magistrate Liu and Prime Minister Wei were both followers of the Queen Mother, so they just How dare you be so reckless.

"However, is it true that anyone who is related to you can be exempted from guilt? There is one matter that I haven't taken care of to settle with you, Prime Minister Wei. The second son of your mansion once went to Tianxiang Tower and did something to my servants. Move your feet...Is this how he oppresses good people?"

"...This...this matter..." Wei Ruling suddenly had cold sweat on his forehead.Originally, he didn't have a particularly deep friendship with County Magistrate Liu, but now it's over, and his son is actually involved. "I really don't know about this matter! When I go back, I must discipline him well!"

"Let's beat him sixty times according to the law of the country."

"...The minister obeys the order." Wei Ruling couldn't bear to punish his precious son so severely, but he could only accept it.For a while, how could he care about interceding with Magistrate Liu?

After that, no one else dared to express any opinions on this.Otherwise, who knows what Chen Chonglin will reveal about them again?Why set yourself on fire.

After the matter of magistrate Liu became a foregone conclusion, Chen Chonglin hurried back to the mansion.

Because what he cared most about was Luo Qiuyi's situation.

"The lord is back?" Luo Qiuyi was already waiting for him in the mansion, "hee hee, I have gained a lot today! Praise me!"

"My Qiu Yi is naturally the smartest and capable." Chen Chonglin smiled approvingly, and praised Luo Qiuyi as he said, "Tell me, what information did you get?"

Luo Qiuyi immediately told everything about the palace records and Caiping.

"Chonglin, do you think my idea is appropriate? I'm afraid that even if Caiping exposes her in public, the queen mother is too powerful, and we can't do anything to her."

"I have been eradicating the influence of the queen mother one by one before." For example, the county magistrate Liu was just sentenced to death today. "There are a lot of corrupt officials in her party, and there are very few people who can't be arrested. I don't believe that those people can give up their lives to protect the old witch...Long nights are easy to dream, why don't you go to court tomorrow morning? Expose the Queen Mother."

"it is good."

However, before tomorrow morning, Chen Chonglin's eyeliner in the palace sent a message that night - Caiping died and was thrown into a mass grave!

"Ah!" Luo Qiuyi was stunned and distressed for a moment, "It's all my fault for not being considerate enough! After all, the Leng Palace is full of people, and I shouldn't have told her in front of those people...it must be... Someone has complained to the Queen Mother!"

"Qiu Yi, it's not your fault." Chen Chonglin hugged Luo Qiuyi gently in his arms, and comforted him softly, "It's that old witch who is so vicious, even the palace maid who has been with her for many years Don't let it go!"

"Yeah... how could she do that!"

According to the records of the palace, Caiping is the dowry maid of the queen mother, and she has been serving the queen mother since she was a child.

It is precisely because she has enough trust in her that the queen mother ordered her to do all those bad things.

And this Caiping must know the Queen Mother well, knowing that with her behavior, she would kill her sooner or later, so she had no choice but to pretend to be crazy for many years.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she still ended up in such a tragic end!

"Chonglin, what should we do now?" Luo Qiuyi asked with red eyes in Chen Chonglin's arms.

"It doesn't matter... I can let her appear if she is dead."

"...?" For a moment, Luo Qiuyi felt that his IQ was a little off, and looked up at Chen Chonglin in confusion.

"Want to see a good show?" Chen Chonglin smiled at Luo Qiu, "Then I'll change your face and let you come to the morning court. Anyway, there will be a group of new officials tomorrow, so maybe no one will pay attention to you." Fang.report.ember.district.alone.Home.all.reason.

"Okay."

Luo Qiuyi didn't want to miss things like watching a play.

But what he looks forward to the most is not to watch a play, but to allow the queen mother to be punished as she deserves.

The next day, Luo Qiu went to the morning court with a really disguised appearance.Although he had prepared his lines as a new official, no one spoke to him.

As soon as the morning began, Chen Chonglin ordered someone to bring someone up.

That person is Caiping? ?

Luo Qiuyi was taken aback, and then realized that it was probably Chen Chonglin who asked someone to disguise him.

"Cui Chuchu!" The fake Caiping directly called the queen mother by her boudoir name, "Today I will reveal your true colors in public!"

"...Who are you?" The queen mother was obviously taken aback, her face turned pale.But she tried to pretend to be calm.

"Heh! How can you not know me? I am Caiping, the court lady who has served you for many years!"

"Nonsense! Caiping died of illness in the cold palace yesterday!"

"Dead of illness?" Fake Caiping sneered, "Obviously you sent someone to poison me yesterday! But you didn't expect that, I held my breath and pretended to be dead, and I ran away after being thrown into the mass grave Went to the Prince Regent's Mansion...just waiting to identify you, the murderer, today!"
