"Don't worry, Eldest Princess, he's just a guy picked up on the street. Even if he is brought to the emperor by Princess Zhaoming, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
In the eldest princess's palace under the moonlight, Feng Yunxuan was stroking the scabbed wound on her fair neck with a gloomy expression, her eyes full of coldness.
After all, she organized the Hundred Flowers Banquet today. She didn't value her reputation, but she was still very annoyed when she couldn't even get rid of an assassin who was holding her hostage.
Compared with her annoyance, the leader who was responsible for leading a group of assassins into the mansion looked happy and was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the minions.
"Really? The incident in Mingzhou has already broken out. If you send such a person to Feng Xi, aren't you afraid that she will learn the news in advance and react in a way that will make you fail?"
"The eldest princess doesn't know. The young master and the lord have already anticipated these things. In fact, as long as the Zhaoming princess is smart enough, or the emperor and the young minister pay enough attention to this matter, the Mingzhou tax bank will send money to the Mingzhou tax bank in the past few days. When that happens, they should be mentally prepared.”
The leader in black smiled and said that he thought that idiot princess was really stupid.
If it were him, I'm afraid he should have noticed something was wrong two or three years ago.
Glancing at the disdainful black-clothed leader, Feng Yunxuan's frowned brows still did not relax:
"I know that the tax money collected in the past few days was deliberately paved the way for Feng Xi to squeeze Mingzhou's tax money among the people in the court. Since you have done this, you are naturally not afraid of Feng Xi and others noticing in advance.
But this Fengxi is not that Fengxi. I don’t know what happened to her, but as crazy as she is now, she will probably not follow the path you arranged..."
Feng Yunxuan's tone was serious. She didn't want to speak for Feng Xi, and she didn't like the power behind her mother-in-law. However, she was too weak now.
She could only rely on organization to get rid of Feng Xi and regain Qi Xiao, so she had to remind them in time and even give them advice when necessary.
However, the leader in black didn't care about this:
"I admit that today's Princess Zhaoming is indeed different, but Shengjing is at least half a month away from Mingzhou. Even if they send spies on the day the tax money is delivered, they will not be able to come back in these few days. As for that guy... …”
The leader in black shrugged his shoulders and said in a teasing tone:
"Let's not forget that she is just a commoner who knows some martial arts. Even if she is really smart and knows Mingzhou very well, what can she do to explain the current situation in Mingzhou to the person above?"
Hearing this, Feng Yunxuan's face became solemn.
Indeed, the news from Mingzhou would arrive in Shengjing tomorrow morning at the latest. Even if her father Huang and Feng Xi knew about the situation in Mingzhou, they would not be able to react overnight.
And once the news from Mingzhou was rushed to the Jokhang Court, it would not be something that her father could suppress alone.
By then, Feng Xi will also be guilty, and Qi Xiao, as the consort, must avoid taboos. So what if they know the true situation in Mingzhou?
Thinking of this, Feng Yunxuan finally felt at ease.
She didn't ask for much, she just hoped that this tripartite cooperation could completely overwhelm Feng Xi, a lunatic.
While Fengyunxuan was waiting for the good news, Liu Rong's narration in Yangxin Hall did not stop.
Her little sister's name is Liu Yunu, and Yunu means beauty. Liu Yunu with this name is not much different from some of the top beauties in Shengjing.
And because she was born in a rural area, she followed her extroverted sister Liu Rong around the mountains since she was a child, so her temperament is more lively and enthusiastic than that of the ladies in the capital.
In Feng Xi's words, she is probably the girl next door who is fresh and refined.
And how could such a fresh and refined girl fall in love with such a playboy and become his concubine?
"My father and mother refused. My father even used a stick to knock out the matchmaker and the housekeeper of the Deng family who came to talk about the matter. For this reason, County Magistrate Song personally came to mediate. Our family also thought that this was the case. It passed. Unexpectedly, one night, the jade slave who was supposed to be at home disappeared..."
None of them heard any sound that night. If she hadn't been unable to sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to go to her sister's room to take a look, she might not have discovered the other's disappearance at all.
"Our family searched all night long, and familiar martial arts masters and neighbors also came out. Unexpectedly, the jade slave was thrown out of Deng's house at noon the next day."
Speaking of this scene, Liu Rong's tears were like broken pearls.
Because the Yunu she saw again was no longer the lively and smiling sister who would hold her hand and act coquettishly, saying she wanted to learn martial arts from her.
He was a man with disheveled clothes and messy hair. Even when he saw a group of family members, his expression was very dull, as if he didn't know anything.
"Our family asked the Deng family for an explanation on the spot, but the Deng family said that the jade slave shamelessly recommended himself as a pillow, and even imagined the position of the third young wife of the Deng family..."
Liu Rong was shaking with anger, while Li Cifu, who was listening on the sidelines, was eating the apple given by Feng Xi while listening indignantly.
If it weren't for the hanging apple, Feng Xi was afraid that the old man would pass out on the spot.
Qi Xiao and Emperor Sheng De sighed after hearing what Liu Rong said, having basically guessed what would happen next.
Since the Deng family has the backing of a prefect, they are definitely not fools who only know how to run amok but don't know how to deal with the consequences.
The reason why they secretly removed Liu Yunu from the Liu family was to get rid of him after persecuting him, so that the Liu family could not explain why Liu Yunu was in the Deng family.
In fact, this matter can be easily explained by Qi Xiao and the others. Let alone him, any of his personal secret guards, even the secret dragon guards of Emperor Sheng De, can successfully sneak into the Liu family and take advantage of the darkness of night. Liu Yunu was taken away silently.
But Qingquan County in Mingzhou is just a county, and the Liu family started out as a martial arts school. In the eyes of the people, Liu's father and Liu Rong were already masters.
Therefore, even if the Liu family father and daughter said that some masters entered the house and abducted the jade slave, not many people would believe it.
And among these few trustworthy people, there are still a large number of people who have good relations with their family, or have received favors from their family.
So does their support count?
It's hard to count.
But Liu Yunu, the only one on their side who could explain clearly what happened to him and where to start investigating the matter, went crazy.
"Even though Magistrate Song tried his best to make the decision for the Jade Slave, because our family could only provide evidence that the Deng family failed to propose marriage, but could not provide evidence that the Deng family abducted the Jade Slave, and there was a state magistrate who was suppressing it, the matter ended up being nothing but I can’t let it go.”
While gritting her teeth, Liu Rong finally revealed another thing that she had suppressed before.
That is, this Magistrate Song is none other than the teacher of her eldest brother Liu Yin.
This is why even though Magistrate Song insisted on investigating the case, the Deng family and the prefect were confident and even spread the news that Magistrate Song was helping his relatives but not helping him.
And if this matter ended here, Liu Rong might not have the courage to go all the way to Beijing to kill the princess. However, things are unpredictable, and her sister Yu Nu is actually pregnant...
