Yu Hanjiang took Concubine Xian and Qi Fenghua back together.
Concubine Xian was suspected of murdering the prince, queen, and concubine thirteen years ago, and may also be related to the serial poisoning and murder cases in the capital. She was involved in too many cases; and Qi Fenghua united with the second prince of Zhao to rebel. In ancient times, the crime of rebellion was
A serious crime that requires everyone to be executed
Yu Hanjiang couldn't decide how to deal with these two people, so he had to write to the emperor and ask for his opinion.
In order to prevent any accomplices from rescuing the two people, Yu Hanjiang specially vacated a room in the backyard, secretly imprisoned Xian Fei and Qi Fenghua, and personally guarded them. He asked Long Sen to continue to the capital to see His Majesty.
However, before Long Sen set out, Lao Mo came to Yu Hanjiang with a sullen face and whispered, "The concubine Xian committed suicide in her room."
Yu Hanjiang's pupils suddenly shrank, "Why, I just checked her teeth and found no poison. I also asked Liu Qiao to look at her in person. How did she commit suicide?"
Mo Xuemin pressed his temples with a headache and said, "She secretly smashed her bracelet when Liu Qiao went out to get her food. She didn't expect that her bracelet had a compartment, and there was a poison hidden in it. It's really
It’s impossible to guard against it.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and immediately followed Lao Mo to the crime scene.
Concubine Xian was lying on the bed, her eyes closed tightly, her hands lightly placed on her abdomen, her face as peaceful as if she was asleep.
She must have been so heartbroken that she had already made plans to commit suicide the moment she was caught by Yu Hanjiang, so she died very calmly.
There is a letter on the table, written in her own hand.
Yu Hanjiang immediately picked up the "suicide note" and read it carefully.
Concubine Xian explained everything in the letter.
Her real name is Zhao Qingyan, and she is the daughter of a noble of the Zhao Kingdom. Her father has always raised her as a boy and made her well-read since she was a child. Her mother is a descendant of a famous doctor and taught her medical skills, hoping to train her to become the queen of the Zhao Kingdom.
Their family was powerful and had close relations with the royal family. The Emperor Zhao originally fell in love with her and wanted to make her the crown prince.
When she was eighteen years old, she was young and playful, so she secretly came to Daqi, a neighboring country, to see the legendary scenery of Jiangzhou. On the way, she accidentally got separated from the escort and maid, and was kidnapped by bandits. The bandits forced her to
As Mrs. Yazhai, she managed to escape on the night when she was forced to pay homage to the church. It happened that the late emperor went to Jiangzhou for a private visit and met her who had escaped from the mountain and was covered with bruises. He was fascinated by her beauty and gave her to her.
Saved.
When she woke up, she was already in the capital of Daqi.
The late emperor sent someone to heal her injury and took the opportunity to take possession of her. She was alone in a foreign country and did not know martial arts, so naturally she did not dare to go against the emperor rashly. Although she was very reluctant, she could only make up her own name in the end.
She was brought into the palace by the late emperor under the excuse of "both parents were dead and had no relatives or friends", and she became one of the many concubines in the emperor's harem.
When she entered the palace, the emperor already had four princes, the eldest was five years old and the youngest was just born.
The emperor's favorite was the queen, and the eldest prince who was the queen's direct descendant was naturally established as the prince. She could see that the other concubines were not convinced, but they did not dare to mess around. The situation in the harem was changing, and a group of women had their own intentions.
In order to protect herself, she had to find the most secluded place to live, pretending that she was indifferent to the world, chanting Buddha's name and making tea every day.
The emperor could not be called doting on her, but when he was depressed, he liked to come to her place to sit, drink tea and meditate. Compared with a couple, she and the emperor were more like friends who took time to drink tea and chat.
One year after entering the palace, an envoy from the State of Zhao came to visit. She heard a piece of news from the envoy. Since the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family was missing, her family could not find her and thought she had died at the hands of bandits. Therefore, the Emperor of Zhao had her
My sister is made a princess
After entering the palace, she had been secretly eating Bizi Tang. She did not want to give birth to an heir for the emperor, but she had a glimmer of hope that one day she would be able to return to Zhao. However, the news brought by the messenger made her completely despair. Her sister was appointed as
The Crown Princess will become the Queen of Zhao Kingdom in the future. My younger sister has always disliked her as an older sister. What will happen to her even if she returns to Zhao Kingdom?
She has become the wife of the Emperor of Qi. Can she still return to the country and remarry someone else?
Zhao Qingyan was disheartened.
That night, the emperor warmly entertained Zhao's envoys. There was singing and dancing in the palace. Zhao Qingyan was alone in the remote courtyard of the harem, facing away from his hometown, and toasted three glasses of wine. The first one was to his parents, the second to his motherland, and the third to his hometown.
Respect yourself.
The daughter-in-law of a famous family named Zhao Qingyan died completely from that day, and the only woman left was the Emperor of Da Qi.
It is impossible for her to return to Zhao country in this life, she must plan for herself.
So, she stopped taking the anti-child soup and tried to seduce the emperor. Soon she became pregnant and gave birth to the eighth prince. His Majesty was very happy. After the child was born, he officially named her the virtuous concubine and let her live with Shufei and Mingfei.
Sit on an equal footing.
But there is a queen above. Every time she sees the queen, she must kneel down and worship her.
Over in Zhao State, the crown prince soon ascended the throne, and her sister turned from a crown princess into a queen respected by thousands of people. The position was originally hers.
How could she be willing to be a concubine here?
So, she began to plan carefully.
As the prince grew up, various forces in the harem began to make moves. Over the years, Concubine Xian gradually cultivated some of her confidants in Qi State. Several eunuchs and maids in the harem were her confidants, and there was an imperial doctor.
She listened very much to her words, and some people in the world, as well as officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites, were also controlled by her through various means.
The opportunity has finally arrived.
She learned from the spies from the palace that the third prince and His Highness the Crown Prince had a dispute a few days ago, and next month is the spring hunting time. His Highness the Crown Prince likes hunting the most and goes to the royal hunting ground at this time every year.
She immediately gave the self-made poison to the eunuchs to take out of the palace, and then handed it over to the dead soldiers who had been trained in advance, and asked them to dress up as the guards of the third prince's family. When the prince was hunting, she shot the prince to death with one arrow.
After the dead man was captured, he refused to confess at first, but after being tortured, he finally insisted that the third prince sent him there. In addition, the dispute between the third prince and the prince was quickly found out, and the third prince's home happened to be found.
highly poisonous
The moment the poison was discovered, it is said that the third prince was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
With all the witnesses and material evidence available, His Majesty was so angry that he directly gave the third prince a glass of poisoned wine.
On the day when the third prince was sentenced to death, the concubine Xian carefully wrote down the names of the prince and the third prince with a pen in the palace, and while making tea, she burned the two names to ashes.
Killing two birds with one stone, the success of this strategy doubled her confidence.
After killing the prince and the third prince, she immediately targeted the women in the harem.
She bribed a maid in Concubine Shu's palace, and when Concubine Shu went to deliver food to the Queen, she secretly sprinkled a layer of colorless and odorless poison into the Queen's favorite fruit plate.
The queen ate the grapes and died on the spot.
The emperor found Concubine Shu's head. Concubine Shu refused to admit her guilt. She knelt on the ground and had her head cracked to show that she was innocent. No matter how brave she was, she would not dare to poison the queen.
The palace maid had already been released from the palace privately by her. She deliberately kept Concubine Shu in order to drag Concubine Ming into trouble later.
Since there was no evidence of her death, the emperor suspected Concubine Shu, but was unable to convict her. He gradually became suspicious of Concubine Shu and the fifth prince.
The same strategy worked very well. Not long after, Concubine Shu was poisoned and killed by her. All signs and evidence pointed to Concubine Ming.
The emperor was furious and wanted to give Concubine Ming a three-foot white silk ribbon to kill herself, but Concubine Xian pretended to be kind and persuaded the emperor: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third prince have suffered misfortune because of brotherly fratricide. After all, the fifth prince and the sixth prince are your majesties."
For the sake of the prince, your majesty, please spare Concubine Ming. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, how will the fifth and sixth princes deal with it? One's concubine was poisoned by another's concubine, and they know the truth.
Later, they might fight against each other again. Does Your Majesty want to see their brothers turn against each other?"
Your Majesty thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so he announced to the public that both the Queen and Concubine Shu had "died of illness."
The emperor hugged her shoulders and sighed, "Xianfei, you are the most knowledgeable and reasonable person in the harem. If all the concubines were as gentle and kind as you, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the harem."
The wise concubine sneered in her heart, but pretended to be pure and stoic on the surface. While making tea for the emperor, she said, "I have no relatives or friends. Thanks to your majesty for taking me in, it is my blessing to be able to serve you in my three lifetimes. I have no relatives."
I don’t dare to think too much.”
The emperor was moved to tears and immediately said, "The position of empress has always been vacant. I have long felt that the virtuous concubine is gentle, kind, and virtuous, and she is a model for the concubines in the harem. Why don't I choose a day to make you the empress, and the eighth prince as the prince, and from now on the virtuous concubine will be the queen."
The concubine is in charge of this harem for me."
In order not to show off her flaws, and worried that the emperor was just testing her, the concubine immediately knelt down in panic in front of the emperor, "I am afraid that your majesty and the queen are deeply in love with each other. The queen died of illness less than three months ago. It is really inappropriate to establish a queen at this time. I am afraid that your majesty and the queen are deeply in love.
I am without virtue and incompetence. I would like to pray for the queen. I will never take the position of the queen."
She thought at the time that rushing to become the queen might arouse suspicion. It would be better to wait two years until her son became the prince and the queen's mourning period expired. Then she would naturally take over the queen's position and find a way to bring the old queen to justice.
The emperor was killed and his son ascended the throne directly.
When the queen is doing something good, a group of concubines in the harem are watching, and a group of ministers in the court are watching. Maybe the ministers will analyze and reason and think that it was her who did it, and His Majesty will depose the queen if he is not happy.
Queen Mother, that is the safest position.
No emperor would depose his own queen.
Now, the original prince and the third prince are dead, and the fifth and sixth princes are dragging down their mother and concubine to disappoint His Majesty. Only her son, handsome and talented, can be worthy of being the "prince" of Daqi.
She has been planning for so many years, so she can afford to wait another year. As long as the eighth prince successfully becomes the prince, she will immediately kill the emperor and promote herself to the empress dowager without anyone else taking action.
She never expected that the eighth prince had no interest in government affairs and would write a memorial to the emperor before he ordered the appointment of a prince.
Concubine Xian was so angry that she wanted to kill the newly established young prince too, so that the eighth prince would not be able to oust him from the throne. However, just when she was about to take action, the old emperor finally had a clear mind.
Because there were too many things happening in the capital this year, the emperor was worried that the newly established little grandson would also be plotted against, so he thought of a way to let Prime Minister Yu's grandson Yu Hanjiang enter the palace to accompany the little prince, read to him as his companion, and eat with him.
They lived together; and they also mobilized dozens of secretly trained shadow guards to protect the little prince at every turn.
At the same time, in order to prevent the eighth prince from changing his mind and triggering a party dispute, the emperor simply did not do anything. Instead, he gave the eighth prince the title of Prince of Zhenjiang and transferred him to Jiangzhou. However, her worthless son actually happily took several
A wife and concubine went to Jiangzhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers
Concubine Xian was almost heartbroken.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she had been planning carefully for many years, but she had overlooked a key point.
She ignored her son's thoughts
As a mother, she neglected to discipline her son. The eighth prince had left her side when he was ten years old and would only return to the palace to visit during holidays. Every time mother and son met, she had nothing to talk to her son. She thought that as long as
He's a prince. Who doesn't love being an emperor?
But her son just doesn't like to be the emperor.
The disagreement between mother and son was the root cause of the failure of her plan.
She can't blame herself for the failure of the operation. The maids who were released from the palace, and all the eunuchs who knew about it, were all silenced by her, including Xiao Lou's father, who found out some clues, and was also neatly eliminated.
She made an excuse to return to Jiangzhou because Jiangzhou is located in Qi, the border between Zhao and Zhao. She was still unwilling to give in and wanted to contact Zhao to make other plans. Currently, the eldest of the several princes of the Zhao Kingdom has been established as the prince, and there are several others.
Naturally, the princes and their mothers and concubines would not be reconciled.
She hid in the temple and waited for her opportunity.
Until Zhao and Qi got married again, the princess had a marriage contract with the second prince of Zhao.
Taking advantage of this, she contacted the second prince and promised to join forces to seize the throne.
She asked Qi Fenghua to bring a colorless and odorless poison to the front line. He would first make some military exploits on the front line, and then find a way to poison the general and frame it for the deputy general. The emperor thought of the eighth prince's friendship in helping to put down the rebellion, and the general died.
After that, Qi Fenghua, who has made great achievements in war, will naturally take over the position of general. As long as Qi Fenghua has military power in his hands, it will be easy to join forces with Zhao to rebel.
Unfortunately, Qi Fenghua was spoiled by Mrs. Yun and did things carelessly. He was young at the time and could not hold his temper. Mrs. Yun personally packed his bags for him on the day he went to the military camp. He was afraid that his mother would discover the bottle of poison, so he secretly hid it
Locked in a drawer in the house.
As a result, the prince held a banquet for him to practice in the evening. He was excited and drank some wine. He was very drunk. He woke up the next day and went to bed late. People from the military camp came to remind him. He was in such a hurry that he forgot this bottle.
At home.
After arriving at the front line, he thought of this incident and felt extremely regretful. He wanted to go back to get it, but there was no chance. Remembering Concubine Xian's instructions, he decided to spend a few years training in the military camp and achieve some military exploits before taking action.
It's a pity that he was spoiled and couldn't adapt to the conditions in the military camp, and he didn't know how to keep a low profile and bide his time. He was so sharp that for three consecutive years, let alone achieving any military exploits, he only caused chaos on the front line.
It happened that the prince was having a birthday party and a delegation of envoys from Zhao State came to celebrate his birthday. Qi Fenghua secretly returned to Jiangzhou, intending to take the bottle of poison back to the front line. Unknown to him, he poisoned the general without knowing it, and directly launched a mutiny to seize General Lin's position.
After storming into the palace and arresting the emperor for treason, wouldn't it be easier and faster to go directly to the capital?
Qi Fenghua's mind was ridiculously simple, and his hands and feet were not sharp enough when he was in the palace, so he created many treacheries and killed his sister in a panic. Lin Shaobo silenced him, returned to Qingshan Temple, knelt in front of the concubine Xian, and confessed everything.
At that moment, Concubine Xian knew that this grandson could not hold up the wall with mud.
She asked Qi Fenghua to return to the front line immediately and be careful not to be caught by the investigating officers. She would try to re-plan other things. However, Qi Fenghua suddenly had a whim and made an appointment with the second prince of Zhao State by the stream in the middle of the night to confirm him.
Did she really want to join forces with him, but was caught by Yu Hanjiang?
Two careful plans, but in the end it was all in vain.
Concubine Xian said at the end of her suicide note
"In my life, I have been good at calculations."
"But I forgot that the most difficult thing to calculate in this world is actually the human heart."
Chapter 184, War in Troubled Times 31
After reading Concubine Xian's long narration, the causes and consequences of the entire case were finally clearly presented to everyone.
Mo Xuemin speculated, "Several women have disappeared in Jiangzhou in recent years. Are they also silenced by her? It is possible that Concubine Xian was seen by them when she had secret contact with the envoys of Zhao State at Qingshan Temple."
Xiao Lou nodded and said, "It's possible. Concubine Xian was the instigator of the serial poisoning and murder cases in the capital. She kills people like crazy and doesn't care about killing a few more."
Ye Qi said with emotion, "Xian Fei is indeed very powerful, but it's a pity that her teammates are too weak to lead her."
everyone ""
Xiaoye's words can be regarded as pointing out the key point. Qi Fenghua is indeed too weak to be taken care of. He is muddle-headed in his work and has a simple mind. He is not even half as good as the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince is very talented, but he really doesn't want to be the emperor.
Not all princes want to be emperors. It would be nice to be an idle prince traveling around and marry as many concubines as he wants. There is no need to weigh the power of the natal family of the concubines in the harem, and there is no need to sit on the dragon throne and listen to ministers every day.
They say that in fact, the Eighth Prince is the one who sees things most clearly.
Xiao Lou said softly, "Concubine Xian is already over sixty years old. It seems that she is really frustrated. She doesn't want to raise another puppet, so she just kills herself." He turned back to look at the woman lying on the bed with a peaceful face,
I couldn't help but sigh, "She poisoned so many people to death, and in the end, she poisoned herself with her own hands."
Yu Hanjiang said, "This is considered a worthy death. At least a whole body is left without beheading."
The room fell into silence, and everyone felt a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter even if Qi Fenghua doesn't confess, Concubine Xian's suicide note has already told everything.
She walked away free and easy, but what should the prince's family do?
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "How to resolve this case, we have to write to the emperor. Well, Long Sen, take the suicide note left by the concubine Xian and the secret note I wrote, and go to the capital overnight. On the one hand, pay attention to the situation of the draft.
, and also ask His Majesty Qi Fenghua and the Zhenjiang Palace how to deal with it."
Xiao Lou handed Li Qingzhao the card to him and said, "It's too troublesome to travel. As soon as there is news, Feige will send us a letter."
Long Sen nodded and set off that night.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were lying side by side in the bedroom, both of them feeling complicated.
Xiao Lou said, "This case is the most difficult one we have encountered so far. The clues are too scattered and there is no physical evidence."
Yu Hanjiang said, "The logic of the case is actually very clear, but there are too many details. Every detail must be grasped, and every person mentioned must be carefully investigated. The key to solving the case in the end is actually what the Ninth Princess told Qu Wanyue."
That piece of palace gossip."
Xiao Lou smiled helplessly, "Yes, if Teacher Qu had missed it, or hadn't paid attention to the gossip about the Queen, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Ming, we might have been so confused that we couldn't even imagine what happened thirteen years ago."
Yu Hanjiang said, "If Liu Qiao didn't take out the poison in time, we might have been destroyed when we were besieged by assassins outside Jiangzhou City. If Ye Qi wasn't vigilant enough and Xueyan found him awake when he robbed the prison that night, he might have
Will be silenced."
Xiao Loudao, "There is also Lao Mo. The Fengwuzhi hidden on the bookshelf has the jewelry pattern of a woman from the Yan Kingdom. If he hadn't noticed it, we would have spent several days searching for the assassin's origins, and we wouldn't even have thought of going to the Yan Kingdom."
.”
Looking back carefully, the process of solving this case is really thrilling.
In fact, everyone has their own role in this secret room, and they must make good use of their identities and try their best to give clues to the captain.
This is the first time that an eight-person team has worked together to solve a case. Of course, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang are mainly responsible for reasoning and analysis, but other teammates must not slip up. Any slip up will greatly hinder the correct reasoning.
The first A-level secret room was so difficult. If he tried this kind of role-playing again, Yu Hanjiang would feel a headache just thinking about it.
The only thing that made him happy about this secret room was the assigned identities between him and Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou is his wife.
At this time, his wife was lying next to him, and the two of them were covered with the same quilt. Even if they were just chatting under the quilt, he felt happy.
He even didn't want to leave this secret room.
Xiao Lou said, "After Long Sen delivers the evidence, the emperor should make his own judgment. We have cleared this secret room."
Yu Hanjiang said, "There is still an unresolved problem. Your brother went to Yan State and tried to contact the third prince of Yan State. If he can help quell the war between Qi State and Yan State, he might be able to pass the level perfectly and get an S-level evaluation.
"
Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Yes, it seems we will have to stay in this secret room for another half month."
Yu Hanjiang thought that was good, he could continue to sleep in the same bed with his wife for half a month.
The next day, with nothing to do all day long, Shao Qingge was bored and started spending money lavishly. He hired the largest restaurant in Jiangzhou to treat Mr. Yu to dinner. His teammates followed him to take advantage of it, and they also experienced an ancient feast.
The case has been investigated, and now we are just waiting for the conclusion.
Shao Qingge, who had won again, said with a smile, "I can't take this gold out, so why don't I give everyone a few taels of gold. You can buy whatever you want, and you can also take the opportunity to experience the ancient customs."
everyone ""
Treating the Chamber of Hearts as a tour, Mr. Shao really knows how to play
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were not in the mood to hang around, and they had been waiting for news from Long Sen after they returned. Fortunately, that night, Long Sen sent a letter to the two of them Feige, reporting the situation in the capital.
The matter of the draft has been perfectly resolved. As expected, His Majesty acted vigorously and on the day of the draft, he caught the spies who had sneaked into the show girl team, and followed the clues to find out the culprits in the Ministry of Rites, and put them all in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to await their punishment.
His Majesty also carefully read the second confidential letter sent by Yu Hanjiang and the suicide note of Concubine Xian confessing her crime.
The crime of rebellion is not a trivial matter. According to the laws of Daqi, anyone suspected of treason must be executed. Qi Fenghua will be implicated in the entire Zhenjiang Palace and buried with him. However, His Majesty is kind-hearted and knows how to repay kindness. After all, when the late emperor established the prince,
It was the eighth uncle who took the initiative to write a letter asking the late emperor to establish a direct grandson. In the year when the late emperor died, the fifth and sixth princes rebelled and forced the emperor to invade the palace. It was also the eighth uncle who assisted him in putting down the rebellion.
It can be said that without the Eighth Prince, there would be no throne for him.
Therefore, His Majesty gave Yu Hanjiang a secret order
Let Yu Hanjiang secretly execute Concubine Xian and Qi Fenghua, and ask General Lin on the front line to forge an obituary and send it to the palace, saying that Qi Fenghua died gloriously on the front line.
As for the murder in the palace, let's just say it was done by an assassin.
Not only will His Majesty not kill all the members of the Zhenjiang Prince's family, but he will also take the opportunity to reward the Eighth Prince, so that the title of "King of Zhenjiang" can be hereditary, and officially canonize the third lady and the fourth lady's two legitimate daughters as princesses.
I heard that the Third Miss and Qin Rui were in love. As a bodyguard, Qin Rui was not worthy of the Third Miss. His Majesty decided to transfer Qin Rui, who was highly skilled in martial arts, to the capital to serve as the commander of the Royal Forest Army. He would be promoted to a noble rank and married in a glorious manner.
Third lady.
The sweetheart of the Fourth Miss was innocently killed, and the Fourth Miss was ashamed of herself because of a birthmark on her face. His Majesty decided to make her a princess and then find a good marriage for her. If the fetus in Mrs. Han's belly is a daughter,
, he will be crowned the princess when he is born; if he is a son, he will be crowned the king directly after he is born.
In addition, Mr. Yu has made great achievements in solving the case this time, but because this matter is a "secret that cannot be told", His Majesty allows Yu Hanjiang to continue to serve as the prefect of Jiangzhou and practice in Jiangzhou for a few years while he is still young. In the future, Yu Hanjiang will be His Majesty's
As his right-hand man, he will find an opportunity to transfer Yu Hanjiang back to the capital and get promoted as a matter of course.
When Xiao Lou saw Long Sen's flying pigeon delivering the letter, he couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty is indeed very ambitious and considers every aspect very carefully. In this way, the people will not gossip about the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince will not care about him."
Will be very loyal."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "All the late emperor's princes are dead, and there is only one eighth prince left. If your majesty uses the crime of treason to execute all the princes in the palace, he will become a cold-blooded tyrant in the hearts of the people. Moreover, in thirteen years
The past events involved too wide an area. If the truth that Concubine Xian was the murderer behind the scenes was revealed to the public now, the people would say that the late Emperor was a foolish king who kept a murderer by his side. He had been blinded for so many years and didn't even know to investigate Xian Concubine.
Concubine, this is not good for the reputation of the late emperor."
Xiao Lou agreed, "So keeping this case secret is the best outcome."
True and false, false and true, this is how history is. What historians record is not necessarily the truth that His Majesty wants the people to know. That is the so-called "truth".
Five days later.
The obituary from the front line was sent to the Zhenjiang Prince's Mansion together with Qi Fenghua's body.
His Majesty used the reason that Qi Fenghua "sacrificially sacrificed his life for the country" to reward the prince.
The third young lady and the fourth young lady were both canonized as princesses, and the fourth young lady was also accused of being married to General Lin's only son.
The Fourth Miss, who has always had low self-esteem and covered herself with a mask, finally took off her veil on the day of the canonization. The birthmark on her face actually looked good with makeup. The Third Miss and Qin Rui were naturally very happy. Originally, the Third Miss' biological mother, Mrs. Qing, opposed this practice.
Regarding the marriage, His Majesty personally arranged the marriage and also supported Qin Rui. From now on, Qin Rui would be the commander of the imperial guards in the capital. She didn't say anything against it. She knelt down and shouted long live the loudest.
The eldest daughter and eldest son died one after another, and the eighth prince was heartbroken.
The next day came another bad news: the wise concubine passed away in Qingshan Temple and her body was cremated in the temple. The Eighth Prince had no feelings for the concubine, but he still went to the temple to offer her some sticks of incense.
Two days later, Xiao Lou's younger brother Xiao Yu also returned to Jiangzhou, bringing good news. Over in Yan State, His Royal Highness and the third prince were fighting openly and secretly. The prince was extremely hostile to Qi State. After learning that the intelligence organization was destroyed by the group,
, suggested that the old emperor start an all-out war; the third prince had a friendly attitude toward Da Qi and believed that it was not wise for Yan and Qi to fight for years and deplete each other's national strength. He was willing to form an alliance with Da Qi. As long as Da Qi helped him ascend to the throne.
, he promised to make peace with Daqi and sign an armistice treaty.
The emperor was very happy when he found out and asked General Lin from the front line to cooperate with the third prince's actions. The third prince acted resolutely and killed the prince directly. The old emperor died of illness, the third prince ascended the throne, Qi and Yan signed an alliance, and the war for many years finally came to an end.
The plot progressed to this point, and prompts popped up in the floating boxes of the eight people in Xiaolou at the same time.
Congratulations to the contract signed by Xiao Lou and the team for successfully clearing 8 of Hearts; The War in Troubled Times. It took 17 days, 12 hours and 10 minutes to clear the level. The clearance rating is S. Now everyone has two choices.
1. Continue to stay in this world. The time flow rate in this world is equivalent to 1 hour in the main city.
Two, return to Moon City immediately.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou, "Which one will you choose, madam?"
Xiao Lou was silent for a moment and said, "Go back. After all, we have to clear the customs as soon as possible and go to Plum Blossom J to meet up with Ninth Brother."
Yu Hanjiang nodded "Okay."
In fact, he would rather choose the first one.
If it weren't for the imminent need to clear the secret room, there would still be so many teammates who want to return to reality in a hurry
He really wanted to be a lifelong couple with Xiao Lou in this world.
Chapter 184, Clearance
After returning to the personal space, everyone saw the ace of hearts smiling kindly.
As soon as Ye Qi saw Sister Hongtao, he couldn't help complaining, "Sister, can you be more reliable? You actually asked me to play the top girl in a brothel. You can't figure it out."
The Ace of Hearts smiled and said, "Your age and expertise are most suitable for this identity, otherwise I will let Lao Mo pretend."
The corner of Mo Xuemin's mouth twitched, "Please spare me."
Ye Qi was so depressed that he didn't want to pay attention to the smiling gatekeeper.
The Ace of Hearts looked at Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang and said with a smile, "You two are quite satisfied with the identities I arranged."
Yu Hanjiang ""
Xiao Lou ""
Should they say they are satisfied or dissatisfied?
Yu Hanjiang's face was stiff and he decided not to answer the question. Xiao Lou's ears turned slightly red, obviously thinking of the days when he and Yu Hanjiang were sleeping together. Although they were just chatting under the quilt every night, Yu Hanjiang was right next to him.
Next to him, in the same bed, there was this man's strong hormonal aura, and Xiao Lou's heart beat like a drum just thinking about it.
Seeing that they didn't answer, Ace of Hearts smiled and said, "Congratulations on your perfect clearance. Let's look at the rewards, plot cards."
The plot card of "War in Troubled Times" appeared in front of everyone. I originally thought that the plot card would reproduce the story of Concubine Xian poisoning the queen. Just like the previous plot card, I didn't expect that the protagonists of this plot card would actually be them.
The timeline of the plot card happened to be after the emperor gave a large reward to the Zhenjiang Palace in the year they left the secret room. Due to Xiao Yu's outstanding performance as an undercover agent, he became a deputy general in the army under General Lin's recommendation and was transferred back to Jiangzhou.
Responsible for border security between Zhao and Qi.
In this way, he can see his brother often. He can also keep an eye on Yu Hanjiang to prevent Mr. Yu from bullying his brother.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou are a loving couple. In order to avoid being criticized for having "no heirs", they adopted a son and a daughter in Jiangzhou. They are both children who lost their parents during the war. Looking at the picture, the two cute children are shouting.
Yu Hanjiang is called "father" and Xiao Lou is called "mother"
Xiaolou's face was red and his ears were red.
Wait, is there something wrong with the plot card that Sister Hongtao gave you this time?
Ye Qi was stunned beside him, looking at the scene on the big screen showing Mr. Yu and his wife being "extremely loving" and having both sons and daughters, with a complicated look on his face and said, "What the hell is this plot card about? Why are we acting it out ourselves?"
The Ace of Hearts smiled and said, "You have influenced the world of Fengyan in Troubled Times, so naturally you can't disappear out of thin air. This plot card is your experience after that world. Don't be anxious, and slowly read the story of Fengyan in Troubled Times."
Five years later, Yu Hanjiang returned to the capital, rose through the ranks, and finally became Prime Minister, becoming His Majesty's right-hand man.
Xiao Lou took Liu Qiao back, and Liu Qiao opened a medical clinic in the capital to treat illnesses and save people.
After Qu Wanyue returned to Beijing with the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess heard that she was attracted to Long Sen, the palace guard, and decided to let her get married to Long Sen.
Mo Xuemin has been following Yu Hanjiang as his master, and Yu Hanjiang took him with him when he returned to Beijing.
As for Shao Qingge and Ye Qi
Due to the collapse of Tianxiang Building, Miss Ye bought the Zhuangyuan Building in Jiangzhou with the help of the eldest young master of the Shao family, opened a restaurant and became a small boss. Shao Qingge invested in the Zhuangyuan Building, and the two of them made money in partnership, counting the money every day.
Very happy.
Ye Qi smiled and said, "I am very satisfied with the ending arranged for me."
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and said, "How did I end up not marrying a wife and having children?"
The ace of hearts said, "You are just an unimportant passerby in this secret room, so your subsequent plot is not included."
Shao Qingge ""
If you win, you have no human rights, right? Why should Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou end up with both children and a daughter in this world? The winner in life can just invest in a restaurant and be done with it.
Seeing that everyone in the plot card is dressed in ancient costumes and has their own ending in another world.
Xiao Lou's mood was complicated, as if he and Yu Hanjiang had really experienced a lifetime as a couple.
Not only were they a loving couple, they also adopted two children. Yu Hanjiang later became the prime minister, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. However, he was an honest official throughout his life, and he was always consistent with Mrs. Xiao Lou, and never paid any attention to him.
Concubine’s plan. Xiao Lou has also been assisting her husband. If Yu Hanjiang encounters any difficulties in the court, he will help analyze and give some opinions.
The two lived to be seventy years old before passing away one after another, and were buried together by their descendants.
Yu Hanjiang ""
This plot card made everyone feel mixed, feeling like they had a split body in another world
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and found that the latter's eyes were evasive and his ears were already red.
His heart moved, and he couldn't help but whisper in Xiao Lou's ear, "This ending is very happy, what do you think?"
Xiao Lou: "It's okay."
The outcome of the war in troubled times is that His Majesty has become a wise ruler, Yu Hanjiang has become a prime minister praised by the people, Shao Qingge has become the richest man in Daqi, Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, Mo Xuemin, Liu Qiao, Ye Qi
Everyone also has their own destiny.
They were not passers-by in that world, but participated in the plot of that world, changed the pattern of the four countries, and helped His Majesty calm down the troubled times, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. This is "perfect clearance".
Although all of this is presented in the form of plot cards.
But the ending of the secret room world of "War in Troubled Times" is indeed very satisfactory.
However, whether the "consummation" that Yu Hanjiang said was perfection in the literal sense, or whether he and Xiao Lou were a happy couple in this life, Xiao Lou couldn't be sure, and he didn't dare to ask.
After all, Yu Hanjiang behaved very upright in the secret room world. During this period, even if the two of them slept in the same bed every day, they did not have any intimate behavior. The so-called "bridal chamber flowers and candles" were just things in memory and did not really happen. Yu Hanjiang said goodbye
She said she would hug him on the bed, not even kiss him, but at most gently hold his shoulders and call him "ma'am".
Xiao Lou was in a state of confusion and quickly put the plot cards into his card bag.
He will never open this plot card again.
Seeing himself and Yu Hanjiang acting out the lives of Prime Minister Yu and his wife of Qi Dynasty as ancient people, he really felt that
So beautiful.
That kind of love was so beautiful that he couldn't believe it.
Everything is over. Looking at the modern attire of the teammates around them in jeans, white shirts, and dresses, it is like a dream that traveled through time and space, and finally woke up.
Xiao Lou felt disappointed in his heart.
After clearing the level before, he just wanted to return to the main city quickly, but after clearing the level this time, he actually felt a little reluctant to leave.
Yu Hanjiang was also reminiscing about the plot just now and growing old together with Xiao Lou, which was exactly what he hoped for when he left the world of "War in Troubled Times". Unexpectedly, in that world, he and Xiao Lou would really play the role of husband and wife for the rest of their lives.
Neither of them spoke, and the teammates next to them looked at each other.
What happened when Professor Xiao and Captain Yu were in a daze at the same time?
The glittering treasure chest for clearance is right in front, can't they both see it?
