Shen Ninghua frowned and pondered. "Back then, Baili Jinchuan was part of the reason for Second Princess' passing. Because of this, the Zhou Family had fallen. Logically speaking, if Zhou Ziqing and Second Princess came from the same family branch, they should hate him to the core."
Baili Junyi shook his head. "The daughters of prominent families are used for political marriages. As long as they can achieve the goal, it doesn't matter whether she is alive or dead. If Zhou City's Zhou Family and Second Princess' family are related, there might be something big hidden behind them."
The Zhou Family did things too perfectly, so much so that they didn't even have any loose end left behind. The reason why he directly arrested Zhou Ziqing was to take drastic measures. First, he controlled him and then investigate the secret behind it. However, the time was too short. Many plans were interrupted by Baili Jinchuan before they could be launched.

A look of panic flashed across Zhou Da's face. He recognized these two men as well. After the commotion, he even wanted to teach them a lesson to prevent them from denouncing the Zhou Family, but Patriarch Zhou asked him to stay out of it. Was there a mistake in this matter? Had Patriarch Zhou forgotten to deal with them?After Sun Da and Sun Er bowed, they looked at Zhou Ziqing who was at the side. There was a complicated mixture of hesitation and indignation in their expressions.Baili Junyi looked at Zhou Ziqing. "Patriarch Zhou, don't tell me you don't know them. We've met them together before."Zhou Ziqing lowered his eyes slightly. "Prefectural Prince Yi, I do have an inkling of them. I think they were the two farmers who were mistakenly thought to be assassins and injured by soldiers at the Qilin Garden banquet."Baili Junyi chuckled. "You have a good memory. Not bad. They were indeed injured by soldiers in Qilin Gard
The expression of guilt on Zhou Ziqing's face intensified, and even his eyes were filled with grateful tears. "Thank you, everyone. Even when my servant had committed such heinous crimes, you still support me."His actions inadvertently gained the support of the people even more. At this moment, everyone took Zhou Ziqing's side, and many of them thought that Baili Junyi was making a big fuss over a small matter. It was not a big deal at all. How could he implicate Patriarch Zhou for the crimes his servant committed? This was outrageous.Seeing Baili Junyi suffer, Baili Jinchuan secretly grinned, a trace of satisfaction flashing through his eyes. His relationship with Baili Junyi would never be good. He was glad to see him being defeated.On the side, Shen Ninghua slightly held Baili Junyi's fingers with a comforting look in her eyes. Baili Junyi turned back to look at her, and a smile appeared on his face.This time, because
On the way back, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua chatted and laughed in the carriage. When they returned to the posthouse, the unhappiness because of the Zhou Family had disappeared.Baili Junyi helped Shen Ninghua get out of the carriage. The two were about to go to the posthouse when Bai Ruo, who came out, suddenly reminded, "Miss, Miss Zhou Jingshu is waiting at the side."Shen Ninghua's expression changed when she heard this. She turned to look at the carriage parked at the side, and Zhou Jingshu just happened to lift the curtain and walk out."Greetings, Prefectural Prince Yi, Prefectural Princess."Zhou Jingshu was dressed in a blue long dress. Her skirt and sleeves were embroidered with pink flowers. She stood quietly on the spot, looking gracious and elegant. Coupled with her outstanding appearance, she looked particularly stunning.Baili Junyi swept his cold gaze over her body, and his expression did not c
Baili Junyi curled his lips and joked, "Well, this is a new experience. Back in the capital, there were always people who wanted to treat us to a meal, but now, we can't even buy vegetables or meat for our meal.""I don't mind if it's hard to buy ingredients for our meal. Anyway, Huajun Pharmacy is nearby, and the daily delivery of food is enough to cover our meals. I'm worried that one day, I can't carry out Father Emperor's order because it goes against the Zhou Family's motto. At that time, things will be serious."Baili Junyi closed his eyes and thought about how the people outside the government office supported Zhou Ziqing. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed across them."If this goes on, Zhou City and the surrounding cities will probably become the Zhou Family's property.""The Zhou Family is extremely cautious with their works and has cleaned up their trails completely. However, from what we have
Baili Junyi asserted, "Last time, when Sun Da and Sun Er came to the government office, it was always Sun Da who spoke. But according to the report I obtained, Sun Er is the eloquent one in usual days. That day, I felt that Sun Er was quite peculiar, so I sent my men to monitor them after they returned. My men found that Sun Er was always worried and even advised his brother to stay away from Zhou City."Shen Ninghua raised her eyebrows slightly. "Is that so... Could it be that Sun Er discovered something abnormal?"Baili Junyi smiled. "Speaking of which, this matter is also very coincidental. I had people secretly investigate and find some clues. The piece of land at the foot of the mountain was usually cleaned up by Sun Er. One time, when he flipped over the ground, he suddenly found a gold ingot. At that time, he thought that he had struck a jackpot, so he turned the entire piece of land upside down."Shen Ninghua could not help but g
After so many days of preparation, numerous camps for the refugees had already been set up around Zhou City. With Zhou City as the center, it extended all the way to the foot of the mountain in the northwest direction.After Zhou Ziqing knew about this matter, his expression became gloomy for a while, but there was nothing he could do. The northwest mountain range was surrounded by people. It was impossible to move the things inside out.He had a bad feeling about this, but after sending people to investigate for a long time, he did not find anything unusual.It was Zhou Da who chose the location of the camp and arranged the refugees. Zhou Ziqing was the only one who knew about the secret in the mountain, so he felt that it was just a coincidence rather than a deliberate arrangement.In the range of Zhou City, there were more and more refugees. The doctors' hands were full, so many apprentices of medical clinics and pharmaci
When Daoist Qingxu heard this, his expression instantly relaxed a lot. He once again bowed to Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua.The hostility of the refugees at the side lessened a lot. Although they knew that Baili Junyi and their benefactor Zhou Family were not on good terms, it was too difficult to find medicinal herbs that they had never heard of with their strength. After all, many of them were illiterate.What happened here quickly spread to Zhou Ziqing's ears. His face immediately turned gloomy. Did they intend to refine pills at the foot of the mountains in the northwest? They must be out of their mind!There was a shocking secret hidden in that mountain range. If it was exposed, the Zhou Family would be dead.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He changed into a set of inconspicuous clothes, twisted the mechanism at the side, and walked into the secret room behind the bookshelf.
"Heavens, what's going on?""Heaven's wrath! Could it be heaven's wrath?"A huge cloud of dust rose up from Daoist Qingxu's pill refining platform, completely blocking the pill furnace. The refugees and citizens kowtowed one after another, shouting loudly for the heavens' mercy.Shen Ninghua covered her face with her sleeve, and her whole body was protected by Baili Junyi.Zhou Ziqing was completely stunned. His face was pale, and the uneasiness in his heart finally became reality. Daoist Qingxu had chosen this place to refine medicine for another purpose!"Ah, look, Daoist Qingxu is fine!"Someone saw the motionless figure in the smoke and dust and hurriedly cried out in surprise, and cheers resonated across the crowd. Daoist Qingxu was fine. Did it mean that the refinery was successful?In such a big explosion, Daoist Qingxu's robe was not damaged at all. There was not even a speck of
Bu Yonghan looked up, without the slightest bit of pride of being a princess in her eyes, there was only the fear and hatred that haunted her.Shen Ninghua looked at her with a cool expression, "It really didn't occur to me that our meeting again would be like this."Bu Yonghan sneered, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, I'll do as I please if I want to kill you.""Is that so? Listen to your tone as if you are not afraid of death, but your eyes tell this palace that you are afraid.""Oh, I would be afraid of you?"Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, a cold smile flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, after all, you're also Prince De's rightful consort, I'll have someone send you back, and Tai Consort Qi and Prince De will naturally settle you down properly."Thinking of the desperate scene of being locked inside the empty room before, Bu Yonghan's body shuddered violently, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back!""It'
The Daan Kingdom's army garrison was quiet, and Slaughter Shadow, wrapped in black clothing, felt his way toward the garrison's source of drinking water.This time, the place where the army of Daan Kingdom is stationed is not far away is a river, the whole army usually water, are taken from the river, the soldiers guarding the river patrol day and night to protect the river safety, for fear that someone in the water to do something.At this time, the soldiers guarding the river did not realize in the slightest that someone had already taken advantage of the night and the cover of the grass to touch the river. Because he was worried that killing these guards would arouse the suspicion of the Great An Kingdom, Tu Ying could only creep into the grass and quietly open the box he was holding in his arms.The jade bottle emitted an ethereal blue light, and a hint of relief flashed through Tu Ying's eyes that had always been devoid of fluctuations. As long as he helped th
How could Bu Linglong not expect that she would see Shen Ninghua again at this time. At this time, she was in a sorry state, bound by ropes around her wrists, weakly kneeling on the ground, her eyes gripped with blackness. Knowing that at this time, she was completely without any advantage or credentials, she still tried hard to open her eyes wide and looked at Shen Ninghua who was sitting above her.Shen Ninghua came to the border city with Baili Junyi only yesterday, after a night's rest, her spirit recovered, because of her relaxed mood, the whole person seemed to be carrying a soft light in general, sitting up beautifully as if she didn't look like a real person, "Princess Linglong, I didn't expect that we'd meet again in such a way."Bu Linglong tilted her head and looked at her with an arrogant face, "Empress Mother, I also didn't expect that you would follow the Emperor to the border city."Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, "Is the princess's body alright?"
This personal expedition of Baili Junyi drew extra attention from the people of the entire Da An Country. In the nearly one year since he ascended to the throne, the Great An Country had experienced a lot of turmoil, but in the end, it had all come through unscathed. Nowadays, the emperor emphasizes pragmatic subjects, strictly combats corruption and bribery, and the official atmosphere of the entire Da An country is exceptionally clear.When the officials are clean, the lives of the people underneath will naturally be better. They treated Baili Junyi as a bright ruler, and now, this bright ruler is going to go on a military expedition, and with the Empress in tow, which is really heartbreaking.Many of the people who originally had little feeling for the Great Yue Country began to loathe them, believing that if it wasn't for them messing with the border, the Emperor and Empress Dowager wouldn't have had to put themselves in harm's way.Just as they were discussing
Baili Jun Yi dynasty announced that the future no longer consorts, the only queen of the harem one person, although the officials on the spot have different thoughts, but after repeated thought, they all tacitly choose to shut up and do not say anything.The emperor and the empress is happy, they do the subjects, or not what hope. Otherwise, think of those who jumped before the great officials down, and go to great lengths to let the emperor will be held in the election, and then, the election is not over, their official position is not, after that, implicated in the Palace of the daughter, even if it is the show girl is not also gray back to the Palace of the?They also sort of saw that the Emperor had no intention of bringing new people into the harem from the beginning.Originally, those courtiers dared to openly call the Emperor's bluff by virtue of their influence in the court, but now they have all been driven out of the court, and their fate is pathetic. The
Prince Yi stared wide-eyed, his eyes flashing with full shock, “How could the Tu Su family be related to the Great Yue State?" These ambassadors of theirs were locked up in the post house and were extremely misinformed on weekdays, and to this day, they still hadn't figured out the reason for the Tu Su family's overnight defeat.Baili Jun Yi hooked the corner of his lips, the two countries are once again at war at the border, and these messengers are no longer necessary to maintain the surface peace, he is even more lazy and he circled:"This matter I ordered to seal the mouth, Prince Yi naturally not clear, well, there is no more other things, you will step Linglong lead back, go back after a good sharpening of temperament, the next time a similar thing happens, I will not look at the face of the Great Vietnam lightly forgiven."Icy cold words were heard in his ears, shocking Prince Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Your Majesty, this king has taught his
Bu Linglong swept a glance at Xiao Bao, only to feel that this child was just as annoying as her mother, this was just a small age, and she was this vicious.At this point, she had completely forgotten that the reason why she had received this beating was entirely of her own making, and, for someone of her age to be reckoning with a three year old, she didn't know who the truly vicious one really was!Shen Ninghua's five senses were extremely sharp, sensing Bu Linglong's hidden anger and hatred, a cold light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, originally she didn't want to be concerned, but now she wanted to make things clear, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to let Xiao Bao have to bear a bad name at a young age?"Princess Linglong, is what Luo Yao said true?"Bu Linglong hurriedly defended, "Empress Mother, how could I have such thoughts, the reason why I stayed in the palace in the first place was because you invited me, and later on, it was even more so be
Within the palace, the palace examination began. Many officials pondered to wait until the end of the palace examination, must be written to submit a good chapter to the emperor, so that the emperor will be released from the palace daughters.For such a long time, they also sort of see that the Emperor said that he was starting a draft, but he did not mean to leave anyone in the harem.Today, half of the showgirls have been sent out of the palace. Most of them were implicated because of the fall of the previous officials, and not many of them are still in the palace today, and, moreover, all of them are the kind of family mediocre, even if they are in the palace, there is no hope of being favored.Moreover, some days ago, the eldest prince turned three years old, the emperor appointed the university scholar to enlighten him, looking at this situation is from a young age is going to treat the eldest prince as the depositary training. The eldest prince Baili Yong Che
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, also somewhat unable to find a clue, “The Tu Su family has existed for more than a hundred years, started in the former dynasty, and the words of the former dynasty ... does it mean that the Tu Su family had a relationship with the Great Yue State in the former dynasty? Even to the serious speculation, Tu Su family is the nail that the Great Yue State has planted on our side."Baili Junyi gazed in contemplation, "What you said is extremely possible, a family that has developed a bit too legendary, moreover, if the Tusu family has no other purpose, why would they be so eager to control the courtiers and make a name for themselves?"Shen Ninghua nodded, "If what we've guessed is true, then the mind of the Tu Su family is simply too terrifying."If not for Baili Junyi's deep affection for her, then the Tu Su family's plan to have Tu Su Qingli approach him could have succeeded. That kind of cold beauty of a woman, to him to give up their
