Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Princess, I was wrong!"

Xuanwu was a smart man. He knelt down and admitted his mistake as soon as he arrived.

Although Xuan Qi was a step slower, his ability to imitate has always been good.

The two of them knelt straight in front of Meng Yunshang.

From the perspective of others, it seemed as if Meng Yunshang would kill them the next moment and they would not even blink.

But Meng Yunshang knew very well how rogue these two people were.

She asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Qi lowered his head and said nothing, fearing that he would give a wrong answer.

Xuan Wu, however, was stern, “Although I don’t know what we did wrong, it must be our fault for making the princess unhappy.”

At first glance, this sounds like a good attitude to admit one's mistakes.

You can think about it carefully.

I don’t know what was wrong specifically, but if she asked, it must be their fault?

So, the next sentence would be to say that she, as the master, wants to torture people into confessing?

Meng Yunshang laughed, "Dangui, bring me the whip."

"Okay," Dangui, who was eager to watch the fun, took the whip and handed it to Meng Yunshang.

Lingyin felt a little bit sorry and stepped forward to plead for him.

"Princess, they definitely didn't do it on purpose. The situation at that time was, uh, a little complicated."

I can't think of the right word, so I can only attribute it to complexity.

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "The situation was so complicated that they couldn't tell that was the room where the prince and I were going to rest at night?"

"The prince hasn't recovered from what happened on New Year's Eve yet. Are you going to let him be surrounded by the smell of blood in the middle of the night?"

Speaking of Huai'an, several people fell silent.

Especially Lingyin, who served closely, had witnessed with her own eyes the pitiful appearance of the prince, covered in cold sweat after waking up in the middle of the night.

This kind of situation has been happening for several days in a row.

Even Fuling said that the prince was haunted by the assassination in the arena.

If he were to be stimulated by the smell of blood again, it would probably increase the prince's anxiety.

She finally understood why the princess was so angry.

Lingyin knelt down in shame, "I'm sorry, Princess. I was inconsiderate. Please punish me."

Xuan Qi had obviously thought of this as well, and he clasped his fists in guilt, "I am guilty, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

"The same goes for me," Xuan Wu admitted his mistake and didn't dare to make any more noise.

Meng Yunshang was about to scold them when the housekeeper came in hurriedly to report, "Princess, something bad has happened. Lord Cui has brought people in. He said he wants to see the prince, but I think he has bad intentions."

“Cui Jian?”

What is he here for?

Just as Meng Yunshang finished speaking, she heard Cui Jian's deep voice outside the courtyard, "Princess Heng, I am older than your father. You should at least call me Minister Cui."

Meng Yunshang looked at the housekeeper sharply.

Can any Tom, Dick or Harry come to the palace and act so unruly?

The butler was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt down tremblingly to apologize.

Cui Jian came in and saw this scene, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Princess Heng, don't blame him. I was ordered to supervise the reflection of the king of Heng. He, a mere servant, can't stop me."

Meng Yunshang's mouth twitched slightly, "Master Cui is proud that you are older than my father?"

"Of course. When I entered the officialdom, your father Meng Yunchuan was still studying hard."

It had been a long time since Meng Yunshang heard the name Meng Yunchuan. She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this was her scumbag father's name.

She smiled at Cui Jian. "But when he retired, he had already been promoted to the position of Minister of Rites. Well, that's the position held by your son Cui Cheng."

If Meng Yunchuan had not retired, Cui Chen might not have taken the position of Minister of Rites so quickly.

Not to mention that he has been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for many years without being shaken.

Meng Yunshang smiled lightly, "Master Cui, why isn't he talking? Are you not talkative?"

Cui Jian's heart choked.

Killing people and destroying their hearts is the most abominable thing.

Dan Gui reminded with a sullen smile, "Princess, it's normal for Lord Cui to be quiet. After all, he is old and doesn't have as much energy as young people."

Meng Yunshang thought for a moment, "Is that so?"

Dan Gui nodded, "Yes, that's right. Lord Cui said it himself. He is older than the master."

Cui Jian: It’s really outrageous.

"Where is King Heng? I have been ordered to come and supervise King Heng's reflection. Once I am sure that King Heng is indeed reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, I will take everyone away."

Meng Yunshang raised her eyebrows.

Emperor Yuan Qing did order Cui Jian to stay in the capital to supervise Prince Heng's reflection on his mistakes, but he did not order Cui Jian to bring people into the palace.

Moreover, anyone with a sense of boundaries would not use chicken feathers as a token of authority and rush to offend Prince Heng's Palace.

But Cui Jian is obviously an exception.

Seeing Meng Yunshang didn't say anything, Cui Jian understood.

He received accurate information that Prince Heng was not in the palace.

As for the Princess Heng who was rumored to be unconscious, she was standing in front of him.

He was surprised for a moment, but soon felt relieved.

It must be a smokescreen deliberately released by Prince Heng's Mansion to cover up the fact that Prince Heng had left the mansion.

If that's the case, he will definitely gain something today.

Thinking of this, Cui Jian felt more confident, "I am following orders, and I hope Princess Heng will cooperate."

Meng Yunshang nodded, "I believe that although Minister Cui is not young, he is definitely not old and confused."

Cui Jian's eyebrows jumped, and he felt that Meng Yunshang's next words might not be very pleasant.

But surprisingly, Meng Yunshang did not say anything bad to her.

"In that case, Xuanwu and Xuanqi, take Minister Cui to Qingfeng Court to meet the prince."

Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi: “???”

So easy to talk to?

That doesn't seem like the princess's character.

Besides, the prince is not in the palace at all, what does the princess mean by this?

There must be a follow-up move.

So Xuan Wu eagerly asked, "What if, what if the prince doesn't want to see Lord Cui?"

Cui Jian frowned, "Why don't you want to see me? I'm just following orders."

"Minister Cui, you don't know that the prince is very worried about my poisoning. It's a pity that the emperor doesn't understand him. The prince is very sad."

Cui Jian: “?”

Is King Heng feeling miserable?

In front of the Emperor and all the civil and military officials, you can use violence without restraint. Is this called feeling bitter?

Xuan Wu: “!”

I seem to understand a little bit.

"Whenever the prince feels uncomfortable, he will vent it in his own way, but the way he vents is different every time. Even though I am his wife, I really can't figure it out."

"Alas, I have just recovered from a serious illness and I really don't have the energy. Otherwise, I would have accompanied Minister Cui to Qingfeng Courtyard."

Meng Yunshang glanced at Xuan Wu meaningfully.

Xuan Wuhu's body shook.

"But don't worry, Lord Cui. These two are the most capable guards around the prince. With them here, Minister Cui will definitely be able to see the prince."

Cui Jian didn't know the inside story, and thought Meng Yunshang was intimidated by his majesty. He nodded proudly, "Since Princess Heng is so sensible, then I won't be polite."

Meng Yunshang smiled softly, "Minister Cui, please!"

Cui Jian walked in front in great style.

Meng Yunshang walked in front of Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi, moved her lips slightly, and said in the softest voice: "This is the only chance to atone for your sins. Just leave him a breath."

Xuan Wu's eyes lit up and he understood immediately.

Xuan Qi assured with a humming voice, "Don't worry, Princess. I will make sure that his trip is worthwhile."
