To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Liang Yu said, "Nothing was found in Liang Di's courtyard, but... in the concubine's bedroom, there were many things that looked like witchcraft. Your Highness, please take a look."

After a while, they looked like some small puppets.

This is a prop commonly used in palace fighting dramas.

Qiu Man exclaimed: "This is my sister's birth date and name. There are so many needles on it. Li Qingcheng, are you cursing the Crown Princess?"

However, the person had already fainted.

Xu Qihuai felt a chill in his heart. He thought the concubine was just being willful and he could just scold her. He didn't expect her to be so vicious. He stared at Li Qingcheng with disgust, "Since she likes stabbing people so much, then punish her by stabbing her."

As the needle was inserted, a woman's cry of pain was heard.

One injection is bearable, but the torture is to have many injections on each wound.

"Ah! Your Highness, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

After a while, the shouting became weaker and weaker.

Xu Qihuai closed his eyes and asked, "Did she confess?"

Liang Yu shook his head: "No."

Xu Qihuai walked into the yard and looked at the ruins. Suddenly, he felt something under his feet. He lifted his foot and looked down. It turned out to be straw crumbs. He felt cold all over. "Just now, was Li Qingcheng kneeling here?"

On the side, Zhou Ruier staggered and looked to the side.

He whispered, "It seems that the concubine's maid is kneeling here."

Xu Qihuai waved his hand and said, "Torture!"

Before an incense stick of time had passed, Luo Xi could no longer bear it. She glanced at the concubine and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Concubine. I really can't stand it. Your Highness, it was the queen who asked me to find some straw, saying that you were not in the mansion today, and it was a good opportunity to harm the Crown Princess."

She closed her eyes and exhaled.

become free.

Xu Qihuai's cold tone was tinged with anger: "For plotting to murder the Crown Princess and the heir to the throne, you shall be sentenced to death."

Li Qingcheng shouted, "Your Highness! You can't believe her words. She is framing me. You can't be so cruel. I already have your child in my belly. I am guilty, but the child is innocent."

The local doctor took her pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant.

Xu Qihuai still refused to give in: "Send her back to the Li Mansion, and after the child is born, I will order her to be executed. If anything happens to her, I will only hold the Li Mansion responsible!"

He stood up and spoke politely to Jiusu.

"Thank you very much for what happened today, Miss Jiu. I will bring Ying'er to visit you some other day."

Jiusu bowed and said, "You're welcome."

She and Qiu Man glanced at the Crown Princess, then left with the Marquis.

The rain had reached people's ankles, but Zhou Ruier was still kneeling in front of the ruins.

Xu Qihuai stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you."

"Your Highness..." Zhou Ruier raised her head, her eyes red, and looked at the man in front of her. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and felt the warmth of his palm. When she stood up, her knee hurt and she staggered several steps.

However, the blood on the ground attracted Xu Qihuai's attention.

He asked, "What happened to your knee?"

Huang Xin hurriedly explained for her: "Your Highness, Liangdi was hit and her knees were injured. She knelt for an hour and I'm afraid her bones were injured."

Zhou Ruier turned around and frowned at the maid.

"I'm fine, don't listen to her nonsense."

Xu Qihuai bent down and picked up Zhou Ruier. He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you today, but this is about the Crown Princess. I can't take it lightly. I'm afraid of losing my wife and children, and I'm afraid that the Marquis will be angry. You stay in the courtyard more and don't offend the Crown Princess. Do you understand?"

Zhou Ruier nodded obediently, and the next second, she heard sobbing.

"I am just a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I can't bring anything to Your Highness. I'm sorry, I am really useless."

Xu Qihuai sighed: "That's not what I meant, stop crying."

Zhou Ruier wiped away her tears at the right time, looked at him, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, you look haggard, why don't you rest in my courtyard for a while before going to see the Crown Princess? She will think too much when she sees you."

Xu Qihuai nodded hesitantly.

"Alright."

He was lying on the bed.

Zhou Ruier knelt beside him, pinching his brow with her soft fingers, and stayed with him without crying or making a fuss, which made the prince feel at ease.

She looked at the man in front of her, her lips curled up.

Seeing that he was asleep, he walked out of the inner room.

"Chunxin, go check if Luoxi is dead?"

-

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

In the carriage, Qiu Man looked at her father and Jiusu, and finally couldn't help but sigh. She asked curiously, "Don't you think Zhou Rui'er is weird everywhere?"

Jiusu said: "Li Qingcheng is taking the blame."

Qiu Shishu lifted the curtain and saw Li Qingcheng being tied up and taken back to the Li Mansion. Lord Li felt ashamed and closed the door. He said in a deep voice: "She is just a concubine's daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will find out what her background is."

"..."

That night, Qiu Man returned to the Prince's Mansion, "I want to accompany my sister."

Xu Qihuai was helpless.

"it is good."

Qiu Man looked at the prince, raised her head, and said sarcastically: "I am accompanying my sister, not to let someone find another vixen~"

Xu Qihuai paused and coughed lightly.

"Liang Yu, I will go to the study to study the flood issue. Remember to go shopping tomorrow."

"..."

After the person left, Qiu Ying looked at her sister with a doting smile: "It's only because the prince has a good temper, otherwise I would have punished you with a beating."

Qiu Man snorted, "I've been polite enough to him. There are so many women in the backyard... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this. Sister, I want to discuss something important with you. Tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival. Let's ask the prince to go to the temple together to burn incense? Pray for the baby in your belly."

She placed her hand on her sister's belly.

Feeling my nephew's kicks.

Qiu Ying nodded: "I was thinking of going there too."

The day for purification, bathing and praying for blessings, March 3rd is the bright and beautiful day of spring.

The drizzle was still falling, but it could not hide the enthusiasm of going out for a drink, writing poetry, outing and praying. Men of letters and scholars were boating in the lake, reciting poems and composing couplets, and their hearty voices echoed throughout Yu'an Street.

The carriage drove towards the temple.

The carriage in the Prince's Mansion was wide and large.

Make an appointment with friends.

A hollow wooden screen in the middle separates men and women.

Qiu Man crossed her arms over her chest, looked at the woman kneeling across from her with dissatisfaction and asked, "Why is she here too? People are in pairs, who are you pairing with? I think you look like a couplet, I'll call you to the door."

Jiang Nianyin subconsciously glanced at An Wenzhi, wanting to refute.

It was terrifying to be called to the door by Qiu Man, so he chose to lower his head and drink tea.

Zhou Ruier bit her lower lip tightly, her face flushed, and she said unnaturally: "Your Highness asked me to come here. If Miss Qiu doesn't like it, you don't have to look at me."

"You!" Qiu Man wanted to stand up and punch her.

Qiu Ying grabbed her sleeve and shook her head at her.

Xu Qihuai saw Rui'er trembling all over from the corner of his eye. She looked like a poor little thing isolated among them. He sighed in his heart and spoke for her, saying, "Rui'er was brought here by me. Little sister, if you have any anger, come to me."

Zhou Ruier looked at him affectionately with tears in her eyes, and called out softly, "Your Highness."

Suddenly.

Song Wang dropped the white piece and said, "Prince, you lose."
