The Emperor's daughter seeks power to marry the legitimate daughter and becomes the emperor

In front of the coffin was Grandma He, crying her heart out.

"Ling'er, how can you just leave like this? What's the point of grandma living!"

"You bastard, you killed my granddaughter, you must pay with your life!"

When Grandmother He saw that her seventh granddaughter He Lingling was gone, she cried and beat An Shaoyun who was kneeling in front of the coffin and repenting.

"Old lady, calm down."

When An Shaoyun's mother, Zhao Huixin, saw her son being scolded by outsiders, she hurried forward and pulled Madam He away.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? Unless I let Xi Jinhou marry a ghost wife."

When Grandmother He heard that An Shaoyun's mother Zhao Hui was so sincere, she no longer wanted to pretend and looked at her seventh granddaughter He Lingling in the coffin.

He had no intention of taking her back, and simply asked Xijinhou Mansion to hastily arrange a ghost marriage for her.

"If we bring this dead person back home, it will ruin the feng shui. We have few male offspring in our family!"

Old Madam He explained with a sigh.

"I recently bought a few shops and don't have much money on hand. How about you hold a funeral in your mansion?"

As soon as Mrs. He opened her mouth, she made excuses, saying that she didn't want to hold a funeral for her seventh granddaughter, He Lingling.

Grandmother He was crying sadly because her seventh granddaughter He Lingling had just died and they didn’t even want her body!

"But……"

"Mother, your son is willing."

Just as An Shaoyun's mother Zhao Huixin was about to defend her son, she was interrupted by her son before she could say anything.

"Ling'er, grandma will find you a good family, you must rest assured down there!"

Grandmother He looked at her seventh granddaughter He Lingling in the coffin, holding her hand with a sad face.

"Cousin, go to hell, go to hell!"

Suddenly, He Lingling in the coffin stood up, cursing in an angry tone.

"It's a fake corpse!"

"Ling... Ling'er..."

"He's dead, run!"

Overnight, He Lingling, the seventh daughter of the He family, came back to life in the Marquis' Mansion.

Old Madam He was so frightened that she dared not stay long, and returned home with He's servants overnight.

"Alive? Alive?"

An Shaoyun's mother, Zhao Huixin, was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand as she watched He Lingling sit up from the coffin.

Fortunately, Zhao Huixin's son An Shaoyun quickly stood up and supported her.

"Nonsense, just nonsense."

At this time, the Left Prime Minister An Huairen walked in angrily from outside and watched the servants and maids running around in the courtyard of the marquis's mansion.

An Huairen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, accusing his son An Shaoyun

"You are the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister, and His Majesty made you the Marquis of Xijin. Why did you drink and defile the daughter of a merchant?"

"Father, I am not fooling around. The doctor felt the pulse of He Lingling, the seventh daughter of the He family, and found that she was really dead, so..."

"He's sitting there perfectly still. Don't you think it's unlucky to put a living person into a coffin? Why don't you help him down and put him in a proper place?"

An Huairen was so angry and disappointed with his eldest son An Shaoyun because of the way he did things!

He Lingling, who fell into the abyss in modern times, is still in shock.

He Lingling found out that her soul had been reborn into the body of He Lingling, the seventh daughter of the He family drug dealer?

After her soul was reborn, He Lingling was hugged by a strange man, and she felt extremely happy!

[Is my soul reborn? This funeral is not for my cousin Weng Ruoyun, is it? I should have kicked a few more times if I had known earlier. Cousin, I will be rich and prosperous in this life!]

He Lingling looked at An Shaoyun, who was polite, handsome and gentle, and was surprised to see such an obedient ancient man.

Only then did He Lingling realize that she was reborn?

The guards of the Imperial Master's Mansion were lying on the wall of Xijin Marquis' Mansion and saw that someone had really died in the mansion.

Left Prime Minister An Huairen was furious.

He did not dare to delay and rushed back to the Imperial Master's Mansion overnight to report the matter truthfully to Dongfang Li.

After hearing this, Dongfang Li looked at Weng Ruoyun who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and came up with a plan, so he woke her up and discussed it with her.

"If you want to live, follow my instructions."

"Master Imperial Master, do you think I look like someone who wants to die?"

"That's interesting. Tomorrow you go to Xijinhou Mansion. When you get there, tell him that the goddess from the Imperial Master's Mansion went to An's house to perform a ritual."

"Ah? Isn't this a lie?"

When Weng Ruoyun heard that Dongfang Li asked her to go to Xijinhou Mansion to be a goddess, she didn't know any magic and wasn't a Taoist priest. She was just a college student who graduated from the history department.

Can Weng Ruoyun become a goddess just because she wants to?

But in order to survive, she agreed directly: "OK, can you let me go after this is done?"

"It's getting late, let's get up and go to the capital."

Dongfang Li saw that it was almost noon, so he asked Weng Ruoyun to get up and prepare to go to Beijing.

………………

Second day

During the morning court session, it was still as quiet as usual, so quiet that one could hear one's heartbeat, but Qin Xun was sitting on the dragon chair with a lot on his mind.

Seeing that these court officials did not say a word during the court session, Qin Yan became so angry that he threw out several memorials and questioned them.

"You, the civil and military officials who attend court every day, the provincial officials, the princes and their relatives, have nothing to report all day long?"

Qin Yan was so angry that he really wanted to chop off all those ministers who disrespected the emperor. It seemed like no one cared about his patience?

Some ministers even lowered their voices to discuss.

"Your Majesty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. There is nothing to report."

None of the ministers were too lazy to respond to Qin Yan and just said "the country is peaceful and prosperous" and then nothing else to report.

Qin Yan has reached the point where he can no longer tolerate these court officials who treat him perfunctorily all day long!

Qin Yan raised his eyes and saw Dongfang Li, who walked in from outside Xuantian Hall and didn't even kneel to greet him.

Dongfang Li still made a joking suggestion to Qin Yan without any distinction of status.

"Your Majesty, I saw a golden phoenix descend from the sky last night and flew to Yu County, Yuanzhou Province. The heavens indicate that the harem is vacant and you should appoint a queen."

"Your Majesty, I am Weng Yan, the governor of Yuanzhou. You summoned me back to the capital to report on my duties. The ministers in the court dared not speak out because of your indulgence of the Imperial Master."

As soon as Dongfang Li finished speaking, the imposing minister Weng Yan stood up and boldly impeached him.

As soon as he entered the palace in the morning, he was impeached by Weng Yan. Dongfang Li was not to be outdone and turned around, pointed his finger at him and asked angrily.

"You are just a provincial governor. You haven't been to the imperial court for many years. Who gave you the courage to slander me?"

Seeing Dongfang Li and Weng Yan arguing in the court, all the court officials spoke out in unison.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is guilty of crimes that deserve death. He privately built a dungeon, tortured court officials, and practiced evil magic. He ate human hearts and was extremely cruel!"

After hearing that all the civil and military officials had pointed out that Dongfang Li had committed a capital crime, Qin Xun, who was sitting on the dragon throne, wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the power of Xuanmen Taoism and the National Master's Office.

Qin Zhen thought again that the government was not stable and the imperial power was dispersed, so it was the time to recruit people. After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a serious tone.

"Does the Imperial Master have anything to say?"

The ministers were obviously shocked as they thought Qin Yan was going to punish Dongfang Li. Even though they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to defy the emperor.

After much thought, the court officials could only endure their dissatisfaction with Dongfang Li!

"It's just a second-class province. I understand why Lord Weng is so bold."

Dongfang Li pretended to be magnanimous, but his words showed that he did not intend to let Weng Yan go.

"I observed the sky at night and calculated with my fingers that the golden phoenix landed on the roof of an official's house in Yuanzhou Province. It hovered for a long time and turned into a young woman."

Hearing Dongfang Li say this, the minister who was from Yuanzhou Province looked flattering.

The minister asked: "Did the Imperial Master figure out that the golden phoenix had any clues?"

"last night?"

Suddenly, a doubtful voice from a court official silenced the court.

Some ministers lowered their voices and said, "There was a ghost in Xijinhou Mansion last night."

Then another minister also whispered.

"There are more than just ghosts. I heard that the Left Prime Minister An forced his eldest son, Xi Jinhou, to defile the daughter of a merchant. The daughter hanged herself in the middle of the night soon after. When she was hanged, her tongue was three feet long!"

The minister felt very sorry: "It's a pity that the merchant's daughter was only fifteen years old, and Xi Jinhou relied on his friendship with Your Majesty to humiliate the girl in broad daylight and even forced her to death. Alas!"

An Huairen, who was already in his sixties, lowered his head and remained silent when he heard that his eldest son An Shaoyun was so disappointing. He usually spoke and acted so solemnly that he could intimidate the court.

Such a disgraceful thing happened in Xijinhou Mansion, and An Huairen felt humiliated!

An Huairen looked haggard and full of worries. He knelt in the court, bowed and left.

An Huairen's action even made Qin Xun, who was usually indifferent and focused on government affairs, frown.

Qin Yan's face, which was as cold and majestic as jade, became extremely gloomy as An Huairen left.

Qin Yan half-leaned on the dragon throne, stroked his forehead lightly, and ordered the court to adjourn in a light tone.

"Let's withdraw from the court. Lord Weng and the Imperial Master will stay."

After saying this, Qin Yan rubbed his temples with his fingers, looking somewhat worried.

Soon, a thin eunuch with small eyes like dates, a cunning face, and wearing a blue eunuch robe embroidered with a single python, loudly announced the dismissal of the court.

"Retire~~~"

As soon as the court was dismissed, all civil and military officials knelt down in tribute.

"Long live your Majesty. I will take my leave."

After the court officials dispersed and the eunuch withdrew, Qin Yan left the dragon throne and walked down the court along the nine-story steps with nine dragons.

Looking at Weng Yan and Dongfang Li staring at each other, it seemed like the two had a deep hatred.

Qin Xun was somewhat suspicious about the haunted Xijinhou Mansion, so he asked Weng Yan about it.

"What do you think about the matter of Xijinhou Mansion, Lord Weng?"
