"Return Home"

The carriage left and slowly returned to the palace.

Shen Yao looked through the gap in the curtains at Prince Yong's Mansion which was getting farther and farther away, and thought that if she came here again next time, the people there might not welcome her.

Ugh

With a deep sigh, Shen Yao called out the system hidden in her head, "How do we get this out?"

To put it in a broader sense, it was deceiving the emperor. He thought that King Yong was an honest man, but he didn't expect that an honest man would be even more frightening when he becomes cruel.

Tut tut

Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh that none of the surviving royal family members were easy to deal with. Even if they were just unknown, there was still a huge bomb buried behind them.

"Host, this has nothing to do with us. Transactions between demons and humans have always been based on mutual consent." The transaction between Princess Yong and the cuckoo was a normal one. Although the content was uncomfortable to read, all the parties agreed, so the transaction was established.

Now the cuckoo has come to collect interest as agreed. As long as it does not kill innocent people, it is doing the right thing. We cannot be biased towards it just because of the differences between their ethnic groups.

This time, the system stood firmly on the side of the cuckoo because it felt that the cuckoo was doing the right thing.

My goodness, the cuckoo bird always appears in a negative image in some vernacular stories, but in this story it turns out to be a good-natured demon who is deceived. How miserable!

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao shook her head speechlessly, thinking that this was just the old princess's one-sided statement. Even if she was telling the truth, it was mixed with too many subjective emotions and was not objective, and might be very different from the truth.

This kind of thing has happened before. Everyone has a different tone. Even if what they say is completely true, the emphasis will be different and the effect will be different.

"When you have time, keep an eye on it. The cuckoo is now in Prince Yong's mansion. Let's see what it wants to do."

Shen Yao lowered her eyes and looked at her slender fingers, saying that this matter not only involved Prince Yong's Mansion, but also the masters of Huangjue Temple and the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple.

Making a deal with a monster, thinking that it would be as if nothing happened since the original owner is gone, haha~

You should know that the reason why cuckoos are associated with the term "occupying the magpie's nest" is because after giving birth, they will not raise their offspring themselves.

Originally, the cuckoo was indeed taken away and imprisoned. Now, the descendants of the cuckoo came to the door and blatantly took the transaction items... Shen Yao couldn't help but sneer, and simply changed her posture and continued to lie down.

Well

She really wanted to see how the incident at Prince Yong's Mansion would end.

…………

"behavior"

"Yao Niang"

Lin Xingzhi looked at his wife with a bright expression, smiled and hugged her in his arms.

"What's wrong? Yao Niang seems very happy."

It's like she happens to come across something that interests her when she goes out.

Shen Yao leaned her head against Lin Xingzhi's chest, raised her fingers to open his outer clothes, and then slowly drew circles on his exposed chest, "Xingzhi, do you know where I went today?"

Lin Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, and a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of his lips. "Prince Yong's Mansion."

Shen Yao chuckled and the two of them sat back on their chairs, "Today, I see there's a whole new world inside the palace."

A different world?

Lin Xingzhi raised his hand and touched Shen Yao's cheek, then lowered his head and leaned over to kiss her long-coveted lips, "My wife, you have something to share with me."

It was not a question but an affirmative sentence, and the content even exceeded the normal range. After all, Lin Xingzhi's wife was not an ordinary person.

Shen Yao happily raised her head and kissed Lin Xingzhi's charmingly handsome face. She didn't snuggle into his arms until she was satisfied, half-closing her eyes like a kitten.

“The old princess of Prince Yong’s Mansion is not the real Miss Wei.

The Wei family, Prince Yong, Huangjue Temple, and the Taoist temple were all dragged into this dispute."

After a pause, Shen Yao raised her hands and gently wrapped them around Lin Xingzhi's neck. The distance between them became extremely close, and their breaths intertwined and lingered.

"Young Miss Wei ran away from her marriage and made a deal with a cuckoo. The cuckoo married her into Prince Yong's mansion in exchange for the servants who served her.

The cuckoo agreed and sent Miss Wei away. She transformed herself into a human and got married, living as Princess Yong.

Afterwards, the cuckoo bird needed sufficient nutrition and demonic energy to maintain its pregnancy, but unexpectedly its identity was exposed. "There is not much to say after that. King Yong was afraid and tricked the cuckoo bird into falling into a trap set by the master of Huangjue Temple and the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple.

The Yong Palace cannot be without a mistress, and the Wei family cannot afford to lose face. Wan Niang, now the old princess, has lived as the Yong Princess for decades because she looks similar to the young lady of the Wei family.

Lin Xingzhi smiled and said, "Qiu Wan here is probably not a simple person."

She was just a maid serving her master, but she became the Princess of Yong because of her similar appearance.

When did they look alike? If she had never been able to walk to her master's side since she was a child,

You don't really think that these young ladies from aristocratic families have good tempers and treat their servants kindly and mercifully. Except for the maids with special purposes who are prettier, no one else dares to steal the limelight from their master.

Shen Yao held Lin Xingzhi's cheeks with both hands, and she became even more excited. She really liked Lin Xingzhi so much that she could guess the hidden fact even without him mentioning it. He was worthy of being the father of the child she had chosen.

"This person is the informer." Whether it was the Miss Wei or the cuckoo who came later, there was a causal relationship between them and Qiu Wan.

Qiu Wan's appearance slowly changed after Dujuan Bird replaced Miss Wei, especially when Dujuan Bird became pregnant, Qiu Wan became more like her. Until Dujuan Bird was jointly detained by Huangjue Temple and Taoist Temple, Qiu Wan's appearance was almost the same as Miss Wei's.

"King Yong is an honest man, and more importantly, a man." What man is not lustful? Qiu Wan is not ugly, and she is trying to seduce him, so the two of them secretly did it under the nose of the cuckoo.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

It was a bit hard to look at the word "honest man" directly, as it involved the private affairs of the royal family... Lin Xingzhi sneered, "It was because he was too useless back then that the late emperor didn't fear him."

Unexpectedly, the honest man was just as cunning. The evil concubine in the late queen's palace was at least exposed, but no one knew about the monster hidden in the Yong prince's mansion.

Shen Yao shrugged calmly, indicating that if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself.

Now, the Yongwang Mansion, which has lived in peace for decades, is facing a long-overdue reckoning. As long as the cuckoo is unwilling to give up, no one else can do anything.

Lin Xingzhi said thoughtfully, "Will the old princess die?"

Shen Yao lowered her eyes, "Not only that, the old princess gave birth to two daughters, and the daughters were lucky enough to have both a son and a daughter." The execution of the original transaction, including the old princess's lineage, was used to repay the cuckoo for its help.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

"It seems that Uncle Wang will be sad for some time, but I think with so many children under his knees, his body should not be harmed by this." It's just a step-wife, two daughters, and grandchildren. Prince Yong has made great achievements in his children and may not really care much about them.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao sighed. Even though she didn't believe it, she had to agree with Lin Xingzhi's statement.

That's really it.

At present, in Prince Yong’s Mansion, any discerning person can see that the old princess’s lineage is the abandoned children who were directly sacrificed.

King Yong even hoped that the cuckoo would work faster so as to reduce his daily fears.

After all, the transaction revolved around Miss Wei, and King Yong himself was just a pusher (selectively forgetting that the cuckoo was detained). He was really innocent.

"Tsk, he's innocent?" "Innocent as hell!"

After gossiping with Lin Xingzhi about the big news, Shen Yao analyzed the ending of Prince Yong's Mansion with the system.

It is known that the old princess's lineage has long been doomed, and now the most attention is on Prince Yong's lineage. The system thinks that the cuckoo bird should not be so crazy. Shen Yao disagrees with this and says that Prince Yong and even the Huangjue Temple and Taoist temple that participated in the detention of the cuckoo bird will inevitably be targeted.

Shen Yao is a demon, and demons understand demons better. The cuckoo is a demon with a strong sense of revenge.

Prince Yong's Mansion had angered the cuckoo. Faced with a place full of enemies, the demon, who had the ability to retaliate, didn't have to think twice about what to do.

The only thing that interests Shen Yao right now is whether this cuckoo will participate in the imperial palace selection next spring after taking revenge on Prince Yong's Mansion.

system:……

"How dare it enter the palace?" "Are all demons such an arrogant and domineering race?"

But a group of people were killed!

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the alarmed system and said, "Monsters and humans think differently. Don't use human thinking to predict the actions of monsters."

Seeing that the system was still here, Shen Yao quickly sent it away, "Prince Yong's Mansion."

If you want to be the first to know about the latest news, why not miss the opportunity? So, go get some work done for her.

The system began to reside in Prince Yong's Mansion, and would occasionally return to Prince Jing's Mansion for daily life.

Shen Yao ignored it and focused on handling the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion in preparation for the New Year.

Lin Xingzhi still found ways to take things from the emperor and bring them home. Sometimes he would even bring his three sons into the palace, under the pretext of letting the emperor see them and strengthening the superficial relationship between the two.

emperor:……

The emperor thought to himself that none of his own sons and daughters had the same patience as he did now.

Looking at the three noisy, fearless, and lively children in front of him, the emperor's serious expression unconsciously relaxed a lot.

He stood up from his chair and walked up to Lin Xingzhi with great strides. Before he could say anything, Lin Shengjing hugged his thigh with a "click".

"Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor"

Lin Shengjing smiled widely, like a blooming sunflower.

The emperor's mood brightened instantly. He reached out and held Lin Shengjing in his arms, and unconsciously lowered the tone of his words, for fear that his murderous aura would scare the white and tender glutinous rice ball in his arms.

"cluck cluck cluck"

Lin Shengjing smiled even more happily and started playing the cheek-to-cheek game with the emperor.

The two elder brothers, Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue, were crawling around with masculine cold faces, and even Lin Xingzhi couldn't pull them back.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

Sure enough, compared to the caring daughter, the son is just a debt collector!

After coming out of the palace, Lin Xingzhi hugged his precious daughter who had made such a great contribution, and he couldn't wait to go home and show off to his wife.

Turning his head to look at his two sons who were already fast asleep, Lin Xingzhi sighed helplessly.

"Yao Niang"

Lin Xingzhi complained pitifully to his wife. Fortunately, Jing'er was smart and followed his and his wife's wit, otherwise this trip to the palace would have ended in disappointment.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao rubbed Lin Xingzhi's face and comforted him for a long time before she stopped talking. However, she didn't have any good solution to the problem of the three children's different personalities.

Yan'er and Jue'er are typical careless people. They don't take things to heart, and all their talents are concentrated on their bodies.

Jing'er is a bit like sesame-filled glutinous rice balls, with even talents and some natural blackness, and she can always rely on herself to achieve her goals.

"It's not a bad thing for Yan'er and Jue'er to be like this. Even if a new emperor comes to the throne, he won't be wary of them out of fear." After all, they are two silly idiots, such good objects for showing kindness.

"Having said that, as parents, how can we not worry about their future?"

Shen Yao leaned on Lin Xingzhi's shoulder, and the couple sat quietly on the couch, occasionally talking about the child, but most of the time they just relaxed their minds and didn't think about anything.

Some more days passed, and it was less than a month away from the New Year.

The general affairs of Prince Jing's Mansion had to include an additional account check, as the farms in his hands began to deliver the annual income and carefully prepared New Year's goods.

Shen Yao has always been generous. As long as the money-making behavior does not exceed the bottom line, she will turn a blind eye. Only sufficient profits can keep people motivated.

"These, these, and those, all go to the stewards in charge of the imperial estates and other courtyards.

Withdraw the silver from the treasury and tell the housekeeper that there are many happy events in the palace this year. Everyone has worked hard, and everyone from top to bottom will be rewarded."

Shen Yao's words made everyone in Prince Jing's mansion smile happily. Everyone had a big smile on their face, and the atmosphere became more festive as the year drew to a close.

At such a time when the whole family is having fun, bad things happen frequently in Prince Yong's mansion.

First, the old princess was seriously ill, and even the doctors and the imperial physicians were unable to help her.

The two daughters who married out with the old princess fell ill one after another, causing the family to suffer in silence and they could only endure it.

Unfortunately, such patience did not bring any improvement. Instead, the condition became worse. When the old princess passed away in the early morning one day, the Yong Palace had to be hung with white cloth to mourn overnight. The two daughters of the old princesses followed closely behind, taking away several children they had given birth to.

scare!

This, this is a bit scary!

What disease could have so quietly taken so many lives in such a short period of time? They were clearly alive and well before, without any problems at all.

"Why else could it be? When a goblin attacks, there's no chance for him to react."

The cuckoo bird gave it earlier, but ended up sacrificing itself.

Now the cuckoo has learned from its experience and will act directly when the time is right, without even a word of nonsense. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, King Yong must be scared to death at this moment.

Shen Yao's guess cannot be said to be inaccurate, it can only be said to be exactly right.

Prince Yong was not afraid of death. He was so panicked that he didn't dare to stay in his mansion any longer. He ran to the Huangjue Temple to stay early. No matter who tried to persuade him, he refused to go back.

Because of this, even the emperor in the palace heard about it. The incident of deceiving the emperor that the Yong King had tried hard to conceal until now came to light, and the truth was revealed.

Emperor: ...It’s ridiculous!
