Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

On the night of New Year's Eve, Xie Jin took Feng Qingluan to the palace to attend a palace banquet.

Emperor Xia Ming talked about the last time Xie Yu rescued someone in Baisheng Building:

"It is said in the capital that the phoenix is ​​auspicious and brings blessings to the world. The eldest princess is that phoenix. If she hadn't come to the rescue in time, who knows how much disaster would have occurred. The eldest princess has made an invaluable contribution. What do you want me to reward you with?"

Xie Yu walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty's safety is related to the foundation of Daxia. Protecting Your Majesty is my duty, and I do not ask for any reward."

Emperor Xia Ming said with a smile:

"How can this be done? If I don't reward you, the ministers and people you saved will be dissatisfied. Princess, you haven't decided what you want yet, so when you decide, come and tell me."

Xie Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When she sat back in her seat, she looked at Feng Qingluan with a faint sneer on her lips.

Emperor Xia Ming deliberately kept the reward to make Feng Qingluan more certain that he was helping Xie Yu.

Chi Ji, who was sitting opposite, looked at Xie Jin with a provocative look.

Fan Yehua and Fan Yueting both glanced at Feng Qingluan at the same time, each with different thoughts in mind.

The palace banquet on New Year's Eve was dull.

Interestingly, Feng Qingluan noticed that Concubine Ru, who was sitting above, was looking at her unfriendlyly.

Looking around, Feng Qingluan didn't see Xie Ying.

After some inquiries, I found out that Xie Ying had been on a hunger strike in recent days to protest against Concubine Ru, which made Concubine Ru very anxious.

Yun Huaiyin was also depressed in the mansion all day long. Feng Qingluan thought that this was not a solution. She had to find a way to let the two meet. No matter whether they wanted to fight against the imperial power and come together, or go their separate ways, they had to come up with a direction. It would not benefit anyone to torture each other.

Halfway through the palace banquet, Xie Jin used the excuse of official business and took Feng Qingluan back to the Marquis' Mansion.

There is no curfew today, and firecrackers will be set off all night long.

Feng Qingluan returned to the Marquis' Mansion early just to spend New Year's Eve with her grandmother, grandparents and other family members.

Jiang Qu also followed Xie Jin to the Marquis' Mansion.

After dinner, Jiang Qu brought a bowl of Tremella and lotus seed soup to Liyuan to find Shen Wan.

"Are you used to living in the Marquis' Mansion?"

He asked, not knowing how to bring up the topic.

Shen Wan said, "You've lived here for so many days and I'm asking if you're used to it? You don't know what to say but don't talk."

Jiang Qu: “….”

Is it so obvious that he is tongue-tied?

"I'm just worried that you'll think of your father on a day like this. You said he was a doctor, so do you have medical skills?"

Shen Wan said: "A little bit."

Jiang Qu said: "Prince Chusan will report the case of the poisonous snake to His Majesty. After helping your father to avenge his death, will you leave the capital?"

Shen Wan said: "My father and I traveled through the mountains and rivers. When we arrived in the capital, we learned that Prince Rong was staying to get married. I never thought of such a thing. After avenging my father, I will leave."

Jiang Qu asked: "Continue to travel?"

"Maybe, maybe not, I haven't decided yet."

Jiang Qu said anxiously: "If not, then stay in the capital. We are friends now and can take care of each other."

He was too excited. Shen Wan looked at him suspiciously. Jiang Qu's face turned red and he stammered:

"I'm sorry, but I hope you can stay."

After saying this, Jiang Qu's face turned red as a shrimp and he quickly left the opera house.

After dinner, Xie Yu called Chi Ji to his palace.

"Xie Jin hasn't made any moves recently. He will probably bring up the venomous snake case after the New Year. Do you have any other solutions?"

Chi Ji said: "Xie Jin wants to convict us, so witnesses must be present. It's not easy to break into Prince Rong's Mansion, but we can kill the witnesses brought out from Prince Rong's Mansion on the way to the palace."

Without the witness, he might be able to save his own life.

Xie Yu said: "Yes, this is also a method. Send someone to keep an eye on Prince Rong's mansion, and take action once he produces a witness."

Only by killing and silencing the witnesses can we truly protect everyone.

Time passed quickly and it was the third year of junior high school.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

The Yuan Dynasty eunuch preached loudly.

After finishing the court affairs, Emperor Xia Ming asked all officials to leave.

Xie Jin said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Emperor Xia Ming said, "You speak."

Xie Jin said, "Regarding the venomous snake case that happened years ago, I have already found out the real culprit behind it and collected relevant evidence and witnesses. Since the person involved is of noble status, please have your majesty conduct the trial in person."

These words shocked the court!

The venomous snake case occurred at Prince Rong's wedding ceremony. Prince Rong was the chief director of the Dali Temple, and he should be the one to investigate this matter both publicly and privately.

The court officials thought that there had been no progress in the matter and it would be left unresolved, but Prince Rong actually found the murderer.

Emperor Xia Ming narrowed his eyes:

"Everyone stand down."

He wanted to keep Xie Jin alone to discuss this matter.

He knew who did it, and only he and Xie Jin could cover it up better.

Xie Jin said: "This is a serious matter, please ask the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Justice to stay."

Xue Ming, the Minister of Personnel, is the head of the six ministers and a first-rank minister, so he must stay.

The Ministry of Justice is involved in criminal law, so its presence is even more important.

Xue Ming and Xiang Shang looked at each other. Prince Rong kept them both here. The identity of the real culprit behind the scenes was not simple.

Xie Jin made this request in front of all the officials, which meant that he wanted other people besides himself and Emperor Xia Ming to be witnesses. If Emperor Xia Ming did not agree, he would be suspected of covering up for the crime. He said:

"Okay, you two stay, and the others go out."

After everyone left, Emperor Xia Ming said in a deep voice:

"Who is the murderer you are talking about?"

Xie Jin said: "The culprit who planned the venomous snake case and caused the riot, resulting in hundreds of casualties among the people, and sent people to assassinate the Marquis' Mansion, is the Grand Princess Xie Yu!

When the word "Princess" was uttered, Xue Ming and Xiang Shang were both shocked.

"Your Highness Prince Rong, this is about the eldest princess. Do you have any evidence?"

Xie Jin said: "The witness is on his way to the palace. Your Majesty, please send someone to bring the princess and Huaibei envoy Chi Ji into the palace. Chi Ji is also one of the masterminds."

Xue Ming was even more shocked. How come this matter involved people from Huaibei?

Emperor Xia Ming knew that Xie Yu's disaster had finally come, and said:

"Yuan Chao, have Commander Xian bring these two here and go immediately!"

At this time, it is the main street of the Imperial City.

Jiang Qu drove the carriage with the witnesses to the palace. When they reached a place with few pedestrians, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from the side!

Jiang Qu shouted: "Protect the witness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards from Prince Rong's mansion who were responsible for escorting the witnesses started fighting with the assassins!

While a fierce battle was going on here, on another street, Feng Qingluan drove a carriage quickly towards the palace gate.

In her carriage, Feng Yangyu, Feng Kun and Zhan Yilu were tied up in the carriage after their acupuncture points were pressed.

Xie Jin expected Chi Ji to kill the witnesses on the way, so he switched the identities of the witnesses and waited for Feng Qingluan to bring the three witnesses into the Qinzheng Hall.

Chi Ji, who had been summoned a long time ago, was startled. He came so quickly?

The assassin he sent out failed?

Chi Ji completely gave up and waited for the next verdict.

He thought his plan was perfect, and that if he took all the blame, Xie Yu would be able to get away with it safely.

However, what he didn't know was that after he left Chunze Garden, someone went in and took Fan Yueting out.

Today, neither he nor Xie Yu can escape!
