Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it

Chapter 33: The Cannon Fodder Lady: They All Want Her (33)

Huangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Yirou's troops came from Wuman and stopped here to rest for a while.

Fortunately, after this trip, her mother's condition was diagnosed by the accompanying imperial physician and was found to be stable. She no longer had the coughing up of blood, and the Wuman people's losses were not too great because of the rescue from Ying Dynasty.

She recalled her mother's earnest words as she held her hand before leaving, "You must enter the palace, Manman. With your beauty and intelligence, even being a favored concubine would be a blessing. If you are lucky enough to give birth to a child, not only you but the entire Wuman people will benefit from it."

Wuman is her hometown. Even though there are many bad things about it, there are still so many people she cares about.

This incident also reminded her that if she and Wu Man were completely worthless, they would be abandoned.

If something like this happened again, would the entire tribe be able to accept it? Would she be able to accept it?

I had delayed it for so long because I wanted to give myself more bargaining chips.

But...Yirou didn't want to hurt Sui Yu, let alone steal Sui Yu's things.

The situation in Shengjing seemed to be nothing special except for the official titles of Xie Shengzhi and his men and the aristocratic families behind them who could provide her with the help she wanted.

It’s better to go directly to the palace.

Yirou's eyes darkened as she gave her own answer in her heart.

The convoy returned to Shengjing at a faster speed. Yirou had no interaction with the three male protagonists and returned to Shengjing directly.

Less than ten days later, the decree of the consort's appointment was known throughout the capital, and the story of the encounter and love between the foreign princess and the emperor was spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Especially the storytellers in the teahouse, their versions have been changed no less than ten times.

While praising the emperor's extraordinary beauty, the foreign princess's beauty was exaggerated. Moreover, the common people who had seen her with their own eyes when they were out and about described Yirou as a fairy from heaven.

In the noisy but orderly city, a low-key and luxurious carriage slowly drove into the magnificent city gate.

Cui Ci'an was driving outside with his legs swinging, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Xie Shengzhi, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, looked unhappy, but he also had a faint smile on his face.

Xingjiu, who was lying on the roof of the car, was even happier. This place was simply his paradise, with sunshine and breeze.

It's not very convenient to continue greeting the common people. At least he has to maintain the aloofness and ruthlessness of the number one lackey of the Criminal Justice Department.

Only Pei Jing, who was the same age as Yu, sat inside and said: ...°ˉ??ˉ?°...

Sui Yu stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, tilting her head to look Pei Jing in the face as he turned away. "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Pei Jingxue relied on his extraordinary self-control to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up to the sky, and tried hard to look sad.

"You never discuss this with me, but only with Xie Shengzhi and the others. Am I unworthy of your trust?"

Cui Ci'an, who was sitting outside: (ー_ー)!!...

Xie Shengzhi: ...╮(﹀_﹀”)╭

No, where did this guy learn these messy skills of acting like a spoiled child?

Why does it feel like Yaoyao seems to be enjoying it?

While she was patiently coaxing people inside, Sui Yu felt a bad feeling creeping into her feet, and she always had a bad premonition.

What she wore today was a red and gold brocade mountain and river skirt. The color was as warm and bright as fire, which made Sui Yu's face look even more beautiful.

Two extreme and somewhat contradictory feelings merged together, like snow flowers blooming brilliantly at the mouth of the magma entering the sea.

The journey from Huangzhou back to Shengjing took dozens of days and covered hundreds of miles, but I didn't encounter anyone who looked like a refugee.

The matter was resolved as smoothly as expected.

They tried to use the Huangzhou incident to spread rumors behind the scenes, saying that it was because the current emperor's succession to the throne was not legitimate that such a natural disaster occurred and that King Rui's party was exposed.

He wanted to use propaganda to influence the stability of Sheng Yanzhao's throne, so Sheng Yanzhao used his own method to treat him. A secret order was issued, asking Huangzhou Governor Qi Lu to publicize the "great achievements" of King Rui in Huangzhou.

This included, but was not limited to, allowing his brother-in-law to exploit the people, and collecting an additional 10% tax on the fiefdoms compared to the official tax rate, causing the people to suffer...

And the magnificent scene of the ancestral worship ceremony on the Shangsi day, when a golden dragon appeared before the people and overlooked Shengjing together with the emperor...

The popular monks who preached the truth and the ambitious students in Ying Dynasty were all good channels for spreading the message. They not only compared Sheng Yanzhao to a wise king who was the reincarnation of a golden dragon, but also criticized the unscrupulous King Rui.

In particular, a rainfall in Huangzhou completely confirmed the rumor that the current emperor is a real golden dragon.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that King Rui played the most critical role in the Huangzhou incident. He ignored the lives of the people and took human lives lightly. Those who used to flatter King Rui turned against him one after another.

They also expressed understanding and support for any means used by the emperor to deal with Prince Rui. Some extremely cynical students even believed that it was precisely because of a useless royal relative like Prince Rui that the Ying Dynasty was in such a mess.

In short, the imperial court was severely reorganized, and many ministers who sided with King Rui were cleared out. Some of them voluntarily resigned and returned home, while others were punished according to the law if they had committed crimes.

But... Sui Yu has another important matter to deal with.

This time when Xie Shengzhi was handling government affairs in Huangzhou, he encountered some troubles. Coincidentally, Sui Yu also wanted to stay in Huangzhou for a few more days to wait for rain, so he told Cui Ci'an who was accompanying him.

It just so happened that Pei Jingxun went out to prepare a red gold embroidered mountain and river skirt for her. When he came back, he heard Sui Yu talking about these serious matters with Cui Ci'an and the other two, so he took the opportunity to talk about it...

But Sui Yu still felt a little guilty, because after all, she did go there to prepare something for her.

I had no choice but to be patient and learn to coax people.

........

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Sheng Yanxun was imprisoned in the palace, demoted to a commoner, and unable to even return to his fiefdom. His hair was disheveled, and in the end, only the princess Chen, whom he despised the most, was left to take care of him.

After scolding those ungrateful concubines in his heart, Sheng Yanxun took the princess's hand and said affectionately, "I will definitely treat you well in the future."

Princess Rui smiled faintly, pulled her hand away, and handed him the bowl of soup. "Master, you should drink more chicken soup to replenish your body."

It would be best if you make up for the deficit and then lie in bed waiting to die.

This is good for everyone.

After watching Sheng Yanxun drink his daily bowl of chicken soup without fail, Chen Wanying smiled even more happily.

If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on Sheng Yanxun being too stingy. He took those concubines into the palace, but did not give any of them any status, and just treated them as bed warmers.

She was a legitimate princess consort canonized by the emperor when his father was still alive, yet she was almost framed and divorced by such a villain.

Now that something has happened, naturally everyone who can run away has run away.

Alas, her brother took the blame for him and was despised by everyone even after his death.

Chen Wanying's face was distorted, and her happy smile looked hideous, which scared Sheng Yanxun, who was slurping his chicken soup.

"Princess, why are you looking at me like this?"

Chen Wanying snatched the bowl and handed it to the maid standing beside her, "Master, please don't call me Princess. You are no longer a prince."

Sheng Yanxuan choked, and then, in a desperate state, he jumped up and down in anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have an imperial edict from my father..."

"Is it the imperial edict in the secret compartment under the bed? I burned it." Chen Wanying looked so calm as if she was saying, "The weather is really nice today."

"What did you say?" Sheng Yanxun spoke word by word, staring at Chen Wanying like an inflated pig.

When he swung his hand to hit her, Chen Wanying calmly dodged and watched Sheng Yanxun fall to the ground with a loud thud and unable to get up.

Smiling, she continued, "My royal brother promised me that I would remain a princess, Rou'er would become a princess, and you, out of excessive worry and sudden illness, died."

Chen Wanying kicked away Sheng Yanxun's hand that was trying to pull at her dress, but she was still not satisfied, so she kicked him on the round belly, making him roll his eyes.

Comfortable!

It seemed as if all the depression accumulated over the years had been dissipated by this kick.

He retreated without stopping until he could no longer see Sheng Yanxun thrashing on the ground. "Catch Mei'er back and throw her into his yard. Tell her... to take good care of her."

His most beloved concubine came to take care of him personally on his last journey. Hasn't she done the most for Sheng Yanxun?

Such thoughts must be made known to Shengjingdu.

Sheng Yanxun was filled with fear, but he found that his mouth and eyes were crooked and he could no longer speak.

"Someone, please call the imperial physician! The prince seems to have... seems to have had a stroke."

In the end, Sheng Yanxun could only hear the bitch's hypocritical voice calling for the imperial physician.
