The Regent's Koi Princess

Regent's House

In the pavilion, Lin Xi sat at the stone table, drinking tea and thinking.

Now Lord Tang and my elder brother have left the Imperial Capital, and Jiang Che is the only one who holds military power in the Imperial Capital.

If I were Zhao Zhoucheng, what would I do next?

Zhao Zhoucheng will definitely send a letter to Nanjing. If Zheng Shanmin receives the news, he will make preparations in advance. He will definitely make dumplings for his elder brother.

Or they may just fall into a trap, after all, they feel they have a sure win.

Zhao Shizong will definitely not act too early. He will wait until a fight breaks out in Nanjing before taking action.

This way Jiang Che will be too busy to take care of himself.

And Black Wind Hall...

Zhao Zhoucheng is a shrewd man. He will definitely let Zhao Shizong send the Black Wind Hall to take the lead in order to prepare for the future power grab and usurpation of the throne.

While the eldest brother is going to fight Zheng Shanmin, Jiang Che must stay in the palace to guard against Zhaozhoucheng's internal and external attacks.

So what about Western Liao? Who will go?

Although she kept saying that she wanted to go by herself, the question was whether Jiang Che would agree?

But Lin Xi filtered through his mind for a long time and still couldn't find a suitable person.

Putting down the teacup, Lin Xi raised her hand and tapped her chin, muttering softly: "It seems that I, the princess, can only go to Xi Liao in person. However, I can't go openly, and Jiang Che will definitely not agree to let me take the risk.

so what should I do now?

Hey!

It’s nerve-wracking!

Lin Xi pondered for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, hehe!

If it doesn't work, just... run away.

Anyway, this isn’t the first time that this princess has done this. When it comes to sneaking away, who else has more experience than this princess? Humph! "

So she planned to use courtesy before force, negotiate with Jiang Che first, and then run away if they couldn't reach an agreement.

Lin Xi was about to take another sip of tea when she saw Xiao Guizi walking towards her in a hurry.

"Master...slave, I just received some important news."

Xiao Guizi reported to Lin Xi while panting heavily.

When Lin Xi heard the big news, he instantly became energetic, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly.

She pointed with her chin to the stone bench next to her and asked Xiao Guizi to sit down and have some tea first.

When there was no one around, Lin Xi treated Xiao Guizi very well. At least he was not as harsh to his servants as other masters. Lin Xi treated Xiao Guizi as a friend.

When Xiao Guizi took a breath, she asked impatiently: "Tell me quickly, what good news is there?"

Xiao Guizi drank the tea in the cup, put it down and looked at Lin Xi with a smile on his face: "I heard that Zhao Zhoucheng spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy Yue Niang.

I heard that Zhao Zhoucheng had placed her in a Jiangnan villa. I had some friendship with a guard there, and I learned from him that not only was Yue Niang deflowered by Zhao Zhoucheng, but she was also tortured like a demon day and night.

I heard that on the first night, Yue Niang screamed miserably, and Zhao Zhoucheng said that he would not let Yue Niang wear anything, just like that... Well! Master, you should understand.

He also threatened Yue Niang that if she dared to bite her tongue to commit suicide, he would hang her body on the city wall for the people of Western Zhou to admire.

"Is this serious?"

Xiao Guizi raised his hand and touched the thin layer of sweat on his forehead from jogging, then looked at Lin Xi and nodded.

"The news is absolutely reliable."

There was a "pop" sound.

Lin Xi slammed the stone table with both hands. This news was simply too explosive.

How can Yue Niang ever get away with anything if she falls into the hands of that pervert Zhao Zhoucheng?

I guess he will be skinned alive even if he doesn't die.

However, based on her sixth sense, Yue Niang will not give up and will definitely take revenge as long as she has the chance.

Qinyin Pavilion is Jiang Che's private business. Yue Niang has been there for so many years, but I don't know if she has any knowledge of the private affairs of Qinyin Pavilion.

In order to be prepared for any eventuality, she had to make preparations early. Thinking of this, Lin Xi looked at Xiao Guizi and instructed: "Xiao Guizi, immediately arrange for a reliable person to go to Qinyin Pavilion.

Go and contact Aunt Liu and ask her about Yue Niang. Let Aunt Liu be mentally prepared and be careful in dealing with Yue Niang and never fall into her trap.

This is a time of great turmoil, and we cannot afford to be careless at all."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Just as Xiao Guizi was about to leave after receiving the order, Lin Xi stopped him again: "Forget it, it's better for us to go there in person. I'll go pack up, you wait here."

……

Qinyin Pavilion

Steward's Office

Nanny Liu and Li Wei sat together at the round table, with Nanny Liu holding an account book in her hand.

Looking at Nanny Liu who was looking down at the monthly cash flow account, Li Wei was silent for a while before finally asking.

"Sister Liu, is there any problem with Yue Niang?

After all, she has lived in Qinyin Pavilion for so many years. If we push her to Zhaozhoucheng, I am worried that she will take the opportunity to take revenge. "

Nanny Liu did not answer Li Wei's question immediately. She quietly checked the account book, then closed it and patted Li Wei's wrist.

"Don't worry, even though she has lived here for a few years, she only knows that Qinyin Pavilion is the prince's private business.

She didn't know anything about the confidential matters on weekdays. Even if she wanted to take revenge, what could she do? Do you think Zhao Zhoucheng would treat her sincerely?

Ah!

It's just a temporary novelty.

Although Zhao Zhoucheng's wife, Zheng, is not very pretty, her elder brother is no pushover.

Even if Zhaozhou Cheng wanted to play with women, he could only act in secret.

For a man like him, no matter how good a woman is, she is worthless in front of power, and he will not give up his future for anyone.

There is no way Zhao Zhoucheng would turn against the prince for Yue Niang."

Aunt Liu turned her head and looked outside the door. On the stage in the hall, Liu Yingying was dancing gracefully.

So what if my mother has been gone for a month?

There have always been many talented people here.

In her opinion, Liu Yingying is better than Yue Niang.

Moreover, Liu Yingying's brain is more active, and she knows how to deal with men without being taken advantage of.

In this world, survival of the fittest is an unchanging truth.

Yue Niang's biggest failure is that she is too arrogant.

"In Zhaozhoucheng's eyes, Yue Niang is nothing more than a plaything. Unless she leaves Zhaozhoucheng and finds a more powerful backer, she won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Although Aunt Liu's analysis was very logical, Li Wei still felt uneasy.

"But, Sister Liu, I always feel a little uneasy..."

Before Li Wei could finish his words, Lian'er interrupted him: "Mammy, the princess brought the eunuch to Qinyin Pavilion."

When she heard that their master had arrived, Madam Liu stood up hurriedly.

Before she walked out of the room, Lin Xi walked in with Xiao Guizi.

When Aunt Liu saw someone, she hurried to greet them: "I greet the princess. I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you won't be offended."

Lin Xi looked at Aunt Liu, waved her hand and smiled back.

She sat down at the table and explained her purpose without much politeness: "Madam, don't worry, and don't be polite. I just came here to see about Yue Niang's matter."
