Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

King Xuan did not return until after lunch, and as soon as he returned he went to Youlan Courtyard.

So it came in at the same time as okra.

She also brought the reward from the emperor.

The reward was 100 taels of gold, a set of pearl head ornaments, a peacock tassel hairpin, and six pieces of cloth, including two pieces of peacock feather fabric, two pieces of cicada wing gauze, and two pieces of smoke silk.

Seeing these things, Shen Jingyi quickly expressed her gratitude happily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor."

After expressing his gratitude, King Xuan quickly helped Shen Jingyi up.

Shen Jingyi waved her hand to let everyone leave, then hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "My Lord, are you giving all your credit to me?

Otherwise, why would the emperor suddenly reward me with so many things? "

King Xuan pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "I didn't give you everything, I just reported your contribution.

It was you who first discovered the Zhao mother and son, and it was also you who discovered the human trafficker who stole the child.

You deserve this.”

Shen Jingyi felt happy when she heard King Xuan's words.

But he still said a little embarrassedly: "That can't be considered my credit. If it weren't for the prince, things wouldn't have been solved so smoothly.

Besides, it was you, Your Majesty, who did all the work!"

King Xuan looked at her lovingly and said gently, "Silly girl, this is what we did together, and the emperor will naturally see it.

And, I want to make you happy, and these rewards are just the beginning."

Shen Jingyi nodded with emotion, hugged King Xuan's arm tightly, and said softly: "Thank you, Xuan. It's great to have you."

Then, Shen Jingyi suddenly looked up again, with a gleam in her eyes, and asked, "So am I now listed in the Emperor's name?"

The corners of King Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile, and he responded gently: "Yes!"

"The emperor is so generous. What did he reward you with?" Shen Jingyi asked curiously.

King Xuan smiled and replied, "Ten days of vacation and a hot spring resort."

Hearing this answer, Shen Jingyi grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean only ten days? This is too little."

King Xuan chuckled and explained, "Ten days is already very good. This is because I solved those cases and arrested two corrupt officials."

Then he sat down on the chair and pulled Shen Jingyi to sit on his lap.

Shen Jingyi hugged his neck, winked mischievously, and said mischievously: "My Lord, do you think they will not let you leave the capital in the future?

You've already dealt with quite a few officials along the way."

King Xuan placed his hand gently on Shen Jingyi's belly and stroked it softly.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh confidently: "Hahahaha, this is not up to them. It's their fault for being corrupt and breaking the law."

His laughter was full of pride and confidence.

Then Shen Jingyi asked again: "Now, is there any news about Xiong Tianchen's case?"

King Xuan nodded and said calmly, "According to the news received this morning, the Xiong family's property was confiscated, Xiong Tianchen was beheaded in public, and Xiong Haibo and the other people who stole the child were taken to the border to do hard labor."

Shen Jingyi frowned and continued to ask, "What about the county magistrate's concubine?"

King Xuan replied, "The county magistrate's concubine, Zhou, was beaten with thirty sticks and thrown out. After her son learned about his life experience, he ran to a lover's place in a brothel and hid there. He was found by Miss Gao and her men, who beat him up and forced him to sign a divorce agreement."

Shen Jingyi widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "And then?"

King Xuan went on to say: "He was so angry that he took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, picked up a fruit knife, and killed Miss Gao. In panic, he also fell down the stairs and died."

Shen Jingyi almost dropped her jaw in shock. The endings of these two people were so unexpected and their deaths were too sudden.

After a while, Shen Jingyi put away her surprise and asked again: "What about County Magistrate Gao?"

King Xuan said calmly: "Confiscate all your property, make him a commoner, and never employ him again."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "My Lord, you are so amazing!

In just one trip out of Beijing, he successfully eliminated three county magistrates and one prefect."

King Xuan smiled slightly and replied calmly: "You have contributed a lot to this."

When Shen Jingyi heard this, an awkward smile appeared on her face, and she let out two dry laughs.

When King Xuan saw this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes.

His hand slowly moved up from the belly, touched the softness, and gently pinched it twice.

Shen Jingyi noticed his actions and immediately reached out to hold his hand down, saying with a hint of pouting, "Your Highness, we are talking about serious matters!"

King Xuan replied innocently, "I just felt like it got bigger."

Shen Jingyi rolled her eyes helplessly, "Isn't it normal to get bigger during pregnancy?

Be good, stop making trouble, I have other questions to ask!"

King Xuan nodded and said, "Ask."

So, Shen Jingyi continued to ask: "Before, didn't you say that you would help me investigate the cause of my mother's death? Have you found it out now?"

King Xuan replied, "I will ask Chujiu later."

After saying that, he gently tidied Shen Jingyi's clothes and then carefully helped her up.

Then he shouted loudly to the door: "The ninth day of the first lunar month."

Chujiu heard the voice and came in, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."

King Xuan looked at him and asked, "How is the investigation of Concubine Shen's mother going?"

"Your Highness, a few days ago, my men found a witness. It was a maid in Madam Shen's courtyard at the time. It was she who drugged and killed Madam Shen. Later, she was silenced by Lin Ruoxi.

But she did not die, and was rescued by Madam Wen in the mansion, and then married Madam Wen's brother Wen Dachun.

They have been living in the countryside and have been doing well thanks to Madam Wen.

I have already taken the person under control and he is now outside the city." Chujiu replied respectfully with his head lowered.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Jingyi's eyes widened with disbelief.

Then tears welled up in his eyes and his body couldn't help shaking.

This was an instinctive emotional reaction of the body. She didn't actually want to cry, but she couldn't control herself.

King Xuan glanced at Chujiu and ordered, "Go and take the person to Minister Shen's residence and wait."

"As ordered."

Chujiu turned around and went out.

King Xuan stood up and gently embraced Shen Jingyi, comforting her softly, "Don't be sad anymore, be careful not to hurt yourself, you are still pregnant.

Now you can finally avenge your mother. I think if she knew about this news, she would be very happy.

You once said that she always suspected that she was poisoned, right? "

Shen Jingyi leaned in the arms of King Xuan and nodded slightly, tears still falling: "Yes, Your Majesty is right, I will go and avenge her now."

"Would you like me to go with you?" King Xuan asked with concern.

Shen Jingyi shook her head and said, "No need, Your Majesty, you just need to arrange a few people for me."

"Okay, then I'll let Chuba lead a few palace soldiers to go with you."

King Xuan agreed and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Shen Jingyi took King Xuan's handkerchief and wiped her tears. After her tears dried, she walked out.

He ordered: "Ling'er, go tell the princess that I need to go back to my parents' home and leave now."

"Yes," Ling'er replied and ran out quickly.

"Xiazhu, Dongmei, Dongxue, Qiukui, the four of you come back with me."

"Yes," the four maids responded in unison.
