"Princess Pingning was only in her prime at that time, so who could she have such a deep hatred with that would be worth the risk to the princess' death?"
Sheng Shaoqing tilted his head to look at Cui Yun's frowning expression, and said with a smile, "I forgot. You were only a child of a few years old at that time."
Cui Yun shook his head, "What you said is not unreasonable. A woman who has not left the court has always lived in seclusion. How can she have much hatred with others? If she did, it would not be to the point of death. In contrast,
, the princess’s mother is the one who has attracted such an enemy, right?”
"You mean Princess Hengyang?"
Cui Jun's hands under her sleeves tightened slightly. She had heard of Princess Hengyang's fame before she entered the palace as an official. Her father had also told her not to provoke the princess, but when she actually stepped into the palace, Princess Hengyang had already
After retiring for many years, she can breathe a sigh of relief and have been successfully promoted to this point.
"yes."
"When Princess Hengyang dominated the court, even today's Prime Minister Ji wanted to avoid her. But I heard that after Princess Pingning's accident, Princess Hengyang gradually became less concerned with worldly affairs and faded out of the court."
Sheng Shaoqing hesitated and asked, "Could it be that the princess thought she had many enemies and killed her daughter?"
Cui Yun also analyzed softly and uncertainly, "If there is really a secret behind this matter, it will definitely not be directed at the princess, but at the princess."
Sheng Shaoqing also frowned, "There is an enemy and a debtor. If you have a grudge against the princess, just look for her. Why bother to spend so much effort on the princess?"
"What's more, even if the princess controls everything in the court, she has so many enemies. Do you want her to die?"
Cui Jun smiled bitterly, wondering why the Queen Mother sometimes asked questions so innocently, "This is because the princess was once assassinated, and the guards around her became extremely strict after that, and she rarely went into dangerous places. And the princess was not deeply involved in the world.
, and I have just reached the age when we are talking about marriage, it is the time when the heart of spring is budding, and there are a lot of banquets and banquets, so naturally it is easier to work on the princess."
"What's more, no one knows that the princess is extremely fond of Princess Pingning, almost to the point of asking for everything. If something happens to Princess Pingning, it will be like a knife in the princess's heart. Such damage is not much lower than the assassination of the princess herself.
"
Sheng Shaoqing was silent after hearing this, and spoke after a long time, "The destructive power of harming a child to a mother is truly unspeakable."
She and Yuan Che had only been mother and son for a short time, and it was the first time for her to be someone else's mother. But even if Yuan Che was not her child, if someone wanted to hurt Yuan Che, she thought, she would definitely want that person at all costs.
Pay the price.
Cui Jun sighed, "As for the princess's enemies, none of the people in power today have ever been scolded by Princess Hengyang. I'm afraid I can count them on both hands."
Speaking of the eldest princess of Hengyang, there may be no definite conclusion about whether she is a good person or a bad person.
Even her staff loved and hated her. When Emperor Jing personally conquered Helian, he went northwest all the way to Helian's lair. However, they never thought that Helian Zhenbei secretly led the army while Emperor Jing was waiting for supplies of food and grass.
The elite took a detour into the pass and burned the grain and grass being transported outside the pass, thus draining the firepower.
What's even more ridiculous is that Emperor Jing brought all the elite troops of Great Liang, and the remaining people in the pass were the old, weak and disabled people who had just retreated from the front line. These people could not stop Helian Zhenbei's elite troops at all.
, in just a few days, he was approaching the capital like a broken bamboo.
The people in the capital were all panicked and had led troops to suppress the enemy, but now they asked the thieves to do it all at once, which would make people laugh out loud. The important ministers were so anxious that they couldn't do anything. They wanted soldiers but no soldiers, and they wanted food but no food. The late emperor
The troops were still cleaning up the remnants of Helian, and the returning troops rushed slowly but could not catch up with the rebels who had arrived half a month in advance.
The besieged capital had no information and had no idea what was going on outside. Helian Zhenbei took the opportunity to spread rumors that Emperor Jing was defeated at Helian and was now about to abandon the capital and abandon his troops to save his carriage.
People in the capital were panicked for a while, and even the important ministers said that if they moved south immediately, they might be able to retain the country in order to make a comeback. However, the eldest princess of Hengyang, with one against a hundred, scolded those who said these things.
A bloody nozzle.
Later, the price of rice in the capital skyrocketed. The eldest princess of Hengyang ordered not to spread rumors, and anyone who spread rumors would cause trouble. At the same time, she ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain to save the people from the fire and water. A Yuli refused to open the warehouse at first.
It was said that a position must be opened with His Majesty's imperial order. The ancestral rules were useless even if the eldest princess of Hengyang, Feng Jia, came in person. The eldest princess of Hengyang came to Yu Si in person. The whole Yu Si was horrified, and they all pushed the tough-necked Yu Li out to take the blame.
The eldest princess of Hengyang first rewarded Yu Li with two years' salary. Everyone in Yu's department looked at each other in disbelief. Then the eldest princess of Hengyang scolded Yu Li, dismissed him from his post and investigated, and opened a warehouse to release grain.
Today, what the eldest princess of Hengyang said to Yu Si is still circulated in various teahouse excerpts, "If you reward you, you will be rewarded for following the rules, and if you are punished, you will be punished for following the rules." From then on, the reputation of the eldest princess of Hengyang was spread to the capital.
Sheng Shaoqing said with a smile, "No wonder it is said that Princess Linyang has the demeanor of the eldest princess of Hengyang. Just in terms of making enemies everywhere, these aunt and nephew are exactly the same."
Cui Jun also smiled and said, "Princess Linyang does not have the confidence as Princess Hengyang, but Princess Hengyang does like this niece very much."
"Among Princess Hengyang's enemies, who do you think is most likely to pull this offence?"
Sheng Shaoqing secretly poked at the downed system, only to find that the system she usually liked to interrupt in had been silent these days, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Cui Yun thought for a long time and suddenly heard Sheng Shaoqing ask, "The year Princess Pingning fell into the water was also the year Cui Hao's case occurred. Do you think there is any connection between the two incidents?"
Cui Yun was stunned. She seemed to have never connected the two things together.
Can.
After thinking carefully, she found that the two things seemed to be connected in many details.
Cui Yun pondered for a long time, "I only heard a few words from my father about what happened back then. After all, the Cui family is involved. If you are not careful, you may face disaster. However, the person in charge of Cui Hao's case seemed to be the eldest princess of Hengyang
.”
Sheng Shaoqing was surprised and said, "Back then, Princess Hengyang was able to give direct advice on matters in the DPRK like this?"
Cui Jun nodded, "Princess Hengyang was raised together with Emperor Jing since she was a child. The brother and sister have a deep love, and Emperor Jing also trusts his sister very much. Therefore, Emperor Jing is more willing to let Princess Hengyang come forward to solve many things."
"The eldest princess of Hengyang has indeed lived up to expectations. Emperor Jing personally conquered the capital and relieved the crisis. It has been widely circulated and talked about by the people to this day."
Sheng Shaoqing saw the light of reverence in Cui Yun's eyes and said silently, "What a pity."
The eldest princess of Hengyang, who was once so arrogant and arrogant, had to experience the pain of losing her daughter when she was most proud of her life. Because of this, she withdrew from the court and devoted herself to eating fast and worshiping Buddha.
Cui Yun also sighed, "Who says it's not the case? The first princess of the first-class town in this dynasty can only accompany the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern all the time."
"There's just one thing. If there was something fishy about Princess Pingning back then, why didn't Princess Hengyang notice it at that time?"
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, "I don't know this either. It's just that when Lu Wuyou wanted to pursue it again, he was stopped by Ji Wenxuan. Maybe there is some secret in this that we don't know?"
Cui Yun nodded and said, "Then I should cooperate with Mr. Lu to find out the truth!"
"There is one more thing about Wei Chen. This is the list submitted by Master Ji, but I don't know what Wei Chen is in it."
Sheng Shaoqing suddenly remembered the method proposed by Ji Wenxuan, took the roster in Cui Yun's hand and looked through it carefully. As expected, it was all famous second-generation ancestors in Beijing.
Sheng Shaoqing chuckled, "The Prime Minister still has some concerns after all."
Cui Yun didn't understand what he meant. He only saw that the Queen Mother didn't look angry, so where did this senseless sentence come from?
Sheng Shaoqing handed the roster to Cui Yun, "Just say I approve it."
Just as Cui Yun was about to turn around and leave, Sheng Shaoqing added, "Tell him that we only seek wealth, not life."
"ah??"
Cui Yun couldn't control his expression, his eyes widened in surprise, and he even stopped breathing for a moment. What new tricks are the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister playing?
Sheng Shaoqing tapped Cui Yun's forehead, "What are you doing in a daze? Just follow my instructions."
"By the way, do you want to go with me to the Wang family's banquet later?"
"Queen Mother...what do you mean?"
Sheng Shaoqing frowned, "I can't tell. I just feel that there won't be peace tonight. Why don't you stay here while I take Forsythia to the banquet."
Cui Yun suddenly became nervous, "What did the Queen Mother notice?! That minister must follow the Queen Mother and protect her!"
Sheng Shaoqing smiled and shook his head, "No, no, don't be nervous first."
"Maybe it's because I still have lingering fears about what happened to Wang Yuan before. I've always felt uneasy recently. Even after meeting Mrs. He and clearing up my confusion, this feeling hasn't gone away... But maybe it's just me.
Are you worried?"
"However, for the sake of safety, Che'er will not go to Wang's residence tonight. I can rest assured that you and Lin Jin are here to guard her."
Cui Yun became even more anxious after hearing this, "If the Queen Mother is in danger, how can I not be by your side?!"
Sheng Shaoqing patted Cui Yun's trembling hand, "If there is really a danger, you are of no use by my side. You might as well look after Che'er for me. What's more, this is just my own feeling, and I can't do anything about it."
"Can…………"
"Okay, okay, it's settled. Just stay behind and stay behind. I can't trust anyone but you."
Cui Yun was moved in his heart, nodded and said seriously, "I will live up to my mission!"
After Cui Yun left, Sheng Shaoqing extinguished the candle. In the darkness, facing the screen that suddenly lit up in front of him, Sheng Shaoqing could only say helplessly, "System, are you finally willing to go online?"
[Hmm? Host, you miss me so much during my absence? 】
The system wondered, "Aren't the basic functions open to you? There are many additional functions."
Sheng Shaoqing:…………
"Who said I missed you?"
"But why did you suddenly go offline this time without even saying hello?"
Sheng Shaoqing thought of the system's departure last time, and then said sarcastically, "It's not because your other world is about to collapse again, and you are transferred to repair it, right?"
The system immediately refuted, [You must have confidence in us, we have successfully repaired everything last time!]
"Then...this time?"
The system said dullly, "These are just the tasks above, but this information is not available to you yet."
"Not open?" Sheng Shaoqing was furious, "Why did you open it when you came here to arrest me? Now you tell me that you won't open it? Who do you think I am?"
Tool man?
scapegoat?
The system was silent for a while and then said, [I...originally wanted to tell you the news later...but since you want to ask now, I might as well tell you...]
【This time I logged off...to go to a meeting.】
Sheng Shaoqing:????
Meeting?
What meeting?
Does such an outrageous system still need to hold a meeting?
【You also know that there are many, many worlds in the chaotic universe.】
[And your mission was originally to advance the world to the time it should have. 】
"Yes, I know this."
[But... the above analysis and calculation show that... there is no need for this in this world...]
"Isn't that necessary?"
"What do you mean? What do you mean it's not necessary?"
[That’s it...your mission can be terminated.]
Sheng Shaoqing:??????
She had just gotten familiar with the business and had just left the Novice Village, and then they told her that the game was out of service??
"No! You have to give me an explanation! Why did you terminate the mission?"
Sheng Shaoqing then thought about it, if the mission was terminated, would it mean... that she could go home?
In an instant, the resentment in her heart turned into longing, and she was just waiting for the system to say the words to send her home.
But the system said in a deep voice, [This... was calculated by the above, and I have no right to interfere... But to compensate you...]
Sheng Shaoqing's eyes shone brightly, looking forward to the system's compensation.
[Compensation for you...These skills will be open to you for free in the future...and you can also define many skills by yourself, and I will try my best to meet all your needs.]
The light in Sheng Shaoqing's eyes went out instantly, that's it????
"this one??"
"Compensate for my skills? What's the use of this?!"
"It doesn't matter if you arrest me here to do the mission, or if you terminate my mission midway, then you have to send me back, right?!"
"As a human being, you have to start well and end well!"
The system did not dare to speak and only allowed Sheng Shaoqing to express her emotions freely. The last time the host knew that her points had been cleared, her emotions collapsed like this.
But it is only the most insignificant among the correction auxiliaries. If it can become a top-level correction system, it may have more say. However, the rules of the game are specified above, and it...has nothing to do.
Sheng Shaoqing scolded him for a long time before he calmed down and asked calmly, "Is there no other way?"
[You also know...you have been...turned into loess in that world...]
[What's more... if you go back now, it may not be the same place you knew before, and maybe that world no longer exists. 】
