Quickly wear a chapter to end

The original owner was the daughter of a royal tutor and was to become a queen in the future, but her life changed at a banquet and she went down a dead end from then on.

The old noble Duke of Qi has taken root in the capital for hundreds of years. The current Prince of Qi is both civil and military, talented and is the most popular marriage candidate among the ladies today.

But unfortunately, Prince Qi Heng already had a crush on someone, his cousin Lin Qingyin, who was staying at Duke Qi's mansion. They were childhood sweethearts.

But at a banquet, Qi Heng accidentally ingested the aphrodisiac wine prepared for the prince, and was led by servants to the room where the original owner was changing clothes. How could the original owner, a weak woman, possibly resist?

The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion brought people to catch the adulterer and caught the original owner and Qi Heng in the act. The original owner's reputation was ruined and she was forced to marry Qi Heng.

However, Qi Heng thought that the original owner loved him and schemed against him, which prevented him from marrying his childhood sweetheart Qingyin, so Qi Heng hated the original owner very much.

Although he later took Lin Qingyin as his concubine, he was still not polite to the original owner.

The original owner was often framed by Lin Qingyin, but Qi Heng didn't believe her, and Duke Qi and his wife didn't believe her either. The original owner had to grit her teeth and swallow her anger.

Later, the Duke of Qi died suddenly. Qi Heng took on the mission of revitalizing the family and led his troops south to suppress bandits. However, an accident occurred and he fell off a cliff and his body was never found.

During the five years when Qi Heng was away, Lin Qingyin colluded with a man outside her family and stole the private treasury of Duke Qi's Mansion. The old lady was so angry that she vomited blood and was bedridden. Later, the original owner came out to take charge of the situation and used her dowry to supplement the old lady's income, thus resolving the crisis.

Five years later, Qi Heng came back and saw the virtue of the original owner and began to accept her.

But the original owner's body had long been deprived of fertility by Lin Qingyin's scheme. Although it was a pity, she still had Qi Heng and Lin Qingyin's son Qi Lei to raise.

Thirty years later, Qi Lei passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, and Lin Qingyin came back to him again. Qi Heng, who was over fifty years old, easily forgave her, and Qi Lei also said that it was unfilial to treat his biological mother badly.

So Lin Qingyin successfully returned to the Duke's Mansion and lived a life surrounded by servants.

But she resented the original owner for accompanying Qi Heng and Qi Lei for decades, which made them no longer close to her, so she poisoned the original owner. After the original owner died, even though Qi Heng and Qi Lei knew Lin Qingyin's true identity, they did not pursue it, and the family of three lived happily together.

……

"Ah~ Miss Zhang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me, Miss Zhang!"

The little maidservant knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to look around, but Zhang Shan still saw the look she gave the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Luoxia, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, walked up to Zhang Shan and wiped the tea off her body with a handkerchief.

"Sister Zhang, you should change your clothes quickly. It's cold at night and it would be bad if you catch a cold."

"Okay, thank you Sister Shen for reminding me."

"You're welcome, little sister. Xiaotao, why don't you lead the way?"

The little maid quickly got up and led the way for Zhang Shan. The maid beside Zhang Shan felt that Xiao Tao had bad intentions and wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Zhang Shan.

Xiao Tao and Shen Luoxia certainly have problems, but they alone cannot accomplish anything. There must be someone behind them, otherwise they would have ruined the eldest princess's birthday party in their previous life, and the eldest princess was not only not angry, but also helped cover up for them.

This is not logical. There must be a prince or princess involved.

Zhang Shan felt that the prince was the biggest suspect. After all, he was the crown prince and the eldest princess would give her face. More importantly, in her previous life, Shen Luoxia married the prince and became the crown princess.

The Duke of Qi is on the same level as the Crown Prince, so Qi Heng naturally stands on the Crown Prince's side, so it is reasonable for him to be pulled out to "take the blame".

But the original owner was the daughter of the Grand Tutor and came from a scholarly family. Grand Tutor Zhang had many disciples and were naturally on the Prince's side. Zhang Shan couldn't understand why the Prince gave up on the original owner.

The maid named Xiao Tao led the original owner to a secluded wing room, "Ms. Zhang, it's right here. There are spare clothes inside, all new. If they don't fit, you can send someone back to get them."

Zhang Shan glanced around the room and found the large, soft bed very attractive.

"The Princess's Mansion is really thoughtful. There is incense in the room for female guests to rest. I wonder what this incense is called? Why haven't I smelled it before?"

"It's just some ordinary incense, Miss Zhang. I'll be waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just call me."

"Okay, please step back."

Xiao Tao went out and closed the door. Zhang Shan and her two servants could still clearly hear the sound of the door being locked.

"Miss……"

"This incense contains a drug that makes your hands and feet weak. Miss, someone wants to plot against us!"

Zhang Shan looked around and found that all the windows were sealed. The technique was very experienced, but Zhang Shan had great strength and removed the windows easily.

"That Xiaotao must have gone to look for someone, let's leave quickly."

The three of them climbed out of bed one after another. When they got outside, Zhang Shan threw some powder into the incense burner and then sealed the window again.

Before, when others sealed the windows, Zhang Shan or people with great martial arts skills could climb out through the windows, but the window sealed by Zhang Shan could only be chopped out with an axe.

Xiao Tao was no longer at the door, and the three of them walked out. Under the guidance of another maid, Zhang Shan came to the ladies' lounge area.

The original owner's spare clothes were also found. With the help of two personal maids, Zhang Shan changed into a set of complicated clothes and returned to the banquet.

Qi Heng was no longer at the banquet, and Shen Luoxia, who was eager to try, saw the surprise on Zhang Shan's face, but she forgot about catching the adulterer.

"Sister Zhang, why did it take you so long to change clothes? Did you meet anyone on the way?"

"It's strange to say, the maid named Xiaotao disappeared after leading me to a remote courtyard. That place was desolate and I was very scared. Why do I feel that Sister Shen is very familiar with Xiaotao?"

Before Shen Luoxia could say anything, her maid became angry and said, "Xiao Tao is a maid, why does my young lady know her?"

"Yuhe, don't be rude!"

Zhang Shan watched the performance of Shen Luoxia and her servant, and her eyes fell on the prince who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The crown prince was the legitimate son and eldest son of Empress Yuan. Empress Yuan and the emperor had been childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. However, Empress Yuan had a difficult labor and entrusted the crown prince to the emperor's care.

Now the prince has grown up, but the emperor is also old. The former favor and the team built for him are gradually snatching power from the old emperor. The old emperor is afraid, but there is nothing he can do to the prince.

The prince is extremely powerful, and he can have any woman he wants? But why did he fall in love with the woman who is inferior to the original owner in every way, and even plotted against the original owner for Shen Luoxia?

Zhang Shan held Shen Luoxia at the banquet, and her two maids quietly locked the door of the side room so that no one would approach.

In the wing room.

Qi Heng just felt like he was burning with anger. He wanted to vent and release, but it was all in vain in the end.

By the time he was found, Qi Heng was already lying unconscious on the floor of the room.

The aphrodisiac was extremely poisonous. If it was not relieved, at best one would lose that ability, at worst one would suffer from blood reflux and die from bleeding from all six orifices.

Obviously, Qi Heng is one of the lucky ones.

"Son, what on earth is going on?" The Duke's wife touched Qi Heng's face with heartache. That damn man was so vicious. He was going to make their Qi Heng's family extinct!

The Duke of Qi never dared to look at Qi Heng, but the pain in his heart was no less than that of the Duke's wife.

"There are maids in the Princess's mansion. Haven't you ever met a single one?"

The Duke of Qi still found it a little unconvincing. If he had not met Zhang Shan and his servant, wouldn’t Xiao Tao, who led the way, also be a woman?

At worst, there are always servants around you!

Qi Heng was still immersed in the euphemism that the imperial physician had said: "It is difficult to have sex and reproduce."

"how could be?"

His wonderful life has just begun, why should he encounter such a thing?

Reviewing everything that happened last night, Qi Heng thought of the glass of wine given by the prince. How could the prince tamper with the wine?

But he had a hunch that there must be something wrong with the wine.

But why did the prince plot against him?

Who are you plotting against him?

At this moment, Qi Heng hated the woman who was also plotted against but cleverly avoided it. Why couldn't she obey the prince and be plotted against by him and come to his room?

This way he won't suffer from an inhumane disease.

Qi Heng's illness was concealed very well, at least Lin Qingyin didn't know about it.

"Aunt, is my cousin sick?"

Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke, tried hard to put on a smile and explained, "Heng'er is busy with state affairs. The prince has set his sights on the Duke of Qi's Mansion. We must not let him down." The prince had been the prince for more than twenty years and finally didn't want to be one anymore, especially since the emperor had repeatedly promoted other brothers to check and balance him. He was tired of the days of being ordered around.

So the prince planned to rebel. He thought that everyone was on his side, but he didn't expect that no one was willing to follow him and risk the danger of the nine clans being exterminated.

They want to curry favor with others in advance, but they are still clear-headed.

When the prince was planning a rebellion, Lin Qingyin and Qi Heng, the star-crossed couple, finally got together in this life.

The Crown Prince, the heir to the throne, was naturally present at the wedding of the Duke of Qi's son. He drank two glasses of wine without a trace of guilt and then asked the Duke of Qi to go to the study to discuss matters.

Zhang Shan had no connections with the Duke of Qi's Mansion and was not on the same level as Lin Qingyin, so she naturally would not attend.

It was Shen Luoxia who put on makeup for Lin Qingyin and stayed in the bridal chamber for a stick of incense before leaving.

On the wedding night, the groom got drunk and fell asleep on the bed. He had no intention of getting up to go to the bridal chamber. Lin Qingyin felt so aggrieved that she shed tears and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Before getting married, Qi Heng had several maids try to stand up, but none of them succeeded. Now that his beloved woman was lying beside him, he was powerless and could only pretend to be dead.

Zhang Shan was unaware of the torment of Qi Heng and Lin Qingyin. At the moment, he was investigating the evidence of the prince's rebellion. In his previous life, the Duke of Qi died suddenly because he helped the prince take the blame, but the crime was not big or small, and he committed suicide out of shame, thus preserving the wealth of the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Now, Zhang Shan doesn't want to let anyone who is related to the prince's rebellion have an easy time.

"Shan'er, although Dad agrees with your approach, Dad can't use the Nine Clans to play with you."

Ever since Tutor Zhang found out that the Crown Prince was plotting against his own daughter, he has been in a difficult situation of having to balance loyalty and righteousness, as on one side is the Crown Prince, whom he had personally raised, and on the other side is his own daughter.

The fact that the Crown Prince could do such a cruel thing to his teacher's only daughter showed that he did not take him seriously. The Crown Prince was not a crown prince worthy of his loyalty and it would be difficult for him to become a wise monarch in the future.

But now he has boarded the prince's pirate ship. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, will the Zhang family still have a way to survive?

"So, Dad, we can't let the prince ascend to that position!"

Zhang Shan laid out everything the prince had done during this period in front of Grand Tutor Zhang, and the more Grand Tutor Zhang read, the colder he felt.

"If the emperor knew about this, would Dad, the Grand Tutor, still be alive?"

The Taifu is not only a teacher who teaches the prince how to read and write, but also advises and corrects the prince's words and deeds.

Master Zhang felt cold sweat on his back.

"The prince did this in secret. How did you know about this, Dad? Do you know that the prince has been getting close to those people recently?"
