The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chu Xingyi's heart trembled violently, and he thought to himself: It's over, the Great Elder will never let me go, this hateful bumpkin.

He came before the Great Elder and sincerely confessed: "Great Elder, I drank too much that night and accidentally fell, and the book flew out.

It was very dark, and I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I had no choice but to ask for help from my junior sister.

The Great Elder was furious: “Then you still blame me for charging you ten thousand taels of silver.

You don't have to ask her for help, you can find it yourself.

That book is a unique copy, and you just threw it away. You are really good."

Chu Xingyi was completely speechless.

"When will you pay me back the two hundred taels of silver I lost?" Jiang Yu asked Huang Shiren as if he was asking for money.

Chu Xingyi promised in front of everyone: "I'll give it to you when I get back, and I can even pay you back."

Jiang Yu said coldly: "Okay, I'll go collect the money later. If you don't give it to me, I'll tear down your house."

The Great Elder looked at Jiang Yu's nonchalant look and was too lazy to say anything to him.

Now that the sect leader is back, his disciples can take care of themselves.

After the game, everyone went back to their respective houses.

For a period of time afterwards, Ye Qingyan did not attend the Great Elder's class as usual. She either wrote talismans in the house or practiced martial arts in the secret forest.

If someone asked her to deal with the evil spirits in their house, she would make some money and live a carefree life.

Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Dongqin Imperial Palace

War King Leng Jiuyuan returned in triumph, and the Eastern Qin army won a great victory. The people and some loyal ministers were very happy.

Above the hall, Leng Jiuyuan was cold, arrogant, and lonely, like an eagle standing proudly between heaven and earth.

He was wearing a half silver mask that covered half of his face, and his lips were pale.

He stepped out of the line and knelt down: "Your son greets the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Emperor Leng Aotian had a blank expression on his face at this time, and did not show any joy at the enemy's defeat.

His voice was cold and clear: “Lao Jiu, you have lived up to everyone’s expectations.

Fengyun Kingdom was defeated, you are worthy of being the War God Prince of my Dongqin Kingdom, winning every battle!"

The fourth prince Leng Jinhong glanced at him with disdain on his face.

I thought to myself: Ninth brother, what if you win?

Look at your father's expression. Is he happy? He's worried that you might be more successful than him.

The second prince Leng Zhimo and the fifth prince Leng Yunlang looked at Leng Jiuyuan coldly, as if they were enjoying a good show.

I thought: With my father's personality, even if you win a battle, you won't get any reward at all, because your achievements surpass his.

Only worry and surprise could be seen in the prince's eyes.

A hint of gloom appeared in Leng Jiuyuan's eyes, and he took out a tiger talisman from his clothes.

He presented it with both hands: "Father, the Fengyun Nation will not dare to invade the border of Dongqin again in the short term. I hand over the military token."

The chief eunuch Qin Wuyi hurried forward, took the tiger talisman and presented it to the emperor.

At this moment, Leng Aotian finally let go of his anxious heart.

Since the day Leng Jiuyuan took away the military token, Leng Aotian has never slept well.

Every night, he woke up from a nightmare. In his dream, Leng Jiuyuan led tens of thousands of cavalry and rushed directly into the palace to force the emperor to abdicate. In his dream, he sat on the Nine Dragon Red Gold Chair.

At this moment, seeing Leng Jiuyuan hand over the military power, he was immediately delighted, "Old Nine, you have been exhausted from the journey, go back and have a good rest, and come back to court in three days."

Leng Jiuyuan began to cough violently, one cough after another, making people feel like their heart, liver and lungs were about to be coughed out.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Father, on my way back, I encountered an assassin and narrowly escaped death.

The other side had too many people, and all the guards were killed.

I, your son, was ultimately unable to escape and was poisoned. I cannot attend court at the moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Leng Aotian's face turned stern, and he angrily said, "Poisoned! How dare you assassinate my son? Go investigate!"

He looked at Leng Jiuyuan carefully again and thought: It seems that Lao Jiu is pale. He did not lie to me. He is really poisoned.

Leng Jiuyuan started coughing again, and some ministers felt sympathy when they heard it.

The emperor spoke again: "Come here, send Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Sun to Prince Zhan's mansion to diagnose the illness.

Lao Jiu, Concubine Xian hasn't seen you for several months. Go see her before returning home."

"Yes, I will retire."

He took a few steps back and turned to walk out of the hall.

Leng Jiuyuan's mother was Concubine Xian, and she had two sons, him and the fourth prince Leng Jinhong.

The virtuous concubine thought she was younger than the queen and had always been at odds with her.

The Queen has one son and one daughter, Crown Prince Leng Xiaoran and the third princess Leng Ning.

Leng Jiuyuan and the third princess were born on the same day.

It was said that when the queen was pregnant, her belly was very big, and the doctor from the Imperial Hospital said that the queen was pregnant with twins.

The task of protecting the fetus fell on him.

As a result, when the queen gave birth, the third princess was born first.

By the time the boy was born, the queen had fainted.

The midwife took the child aside and saw that the child had his eyes closed and was not crying.

Doctor Ye waved his hand, and some powder appeared in the boy's nostrils, and then the child's face turned purple.

His expression suddenly changed: "This child is a dead baby, his whole body is purple, how come he looks like a cat, he is a monster."

The Queen Mother was waiting outside. Doctor Ye hurried out and knelt before her. "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Queen has given birth to a dead baby that is purple all over. It looks like a cat and is already dead."

The Queen Mother was always superstitious. When she heard that it was a dead baby that looked like a cat, her face suddenly changed. "Hurry up and have it buried! This is a taboo in the palace. It's a demon."

Dead babies were not allowed in the palace, so she ordered people to deal with the child without even looking at it.

The queen's personal nanny didn't even have time to take a look at the child and hurried to ask for the emperor's help.

Several palace maids were so scared that they hid aside.

The baby who was said to be dead was put into a basket by a sweeping woman and quietly left.

On the same day, Concubine Xian had a miscarriage and gave birth to the ninth prince.

From then on, Doctor Ye thought it was unlucky to deliver a dead baby, so he left the Imperial Hospital on the grounds of feeling unwell. It is unknown where he went.

The old woman who took the dead baby away accidentally fell into the lotus pond and drowned two days later.

Because the Queen gave birth to a stillborn baby, the Emperor was afraid that it would affect the fate of the country, so he did not set foot in Fengning Palace for three years.

The virtuous concubine of Xianfu Palace was particularly favored. The emperor often visited her palace and gave her many gifts.

Leng Jiuyuan was walking on the way to Xianfu Palace and happened to pass by Fengning Palace.

Empress Chu Linlang had just walked out of the palace and was heading to the Imperial Garden.

Leng Jiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, clasping his fists: "Your son greets the Queen Mother!"

The Queen had a kind face and a look of surprise, "Yuan'er, when did you come back?

I was talking about you to Aunt Yu yesterday, and judging by the date, you should be back soon."

Leng Jiuyuan's expression remained stern: "I just came back at midnight last night."

The queen's face was full of smiles: "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back.

You are going to pay your respects to the virtuous concubine, so go quickly. You have traveled a long way, so go back and have a good rest.

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I will take my leave!"

Leng Jiuyuan walked towards Xianfu Palace.

Nanny Yu looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, among the other princes, why do you always look upon the Ninth Prince with a new regard?"

The Queen looked at Leng Jiuyuan's back and said, "I don't know why, maybe I have a connection with this child.

The child was weak since childhood and was sent to the mountains to learn martial arts. As a result, after coming down the mountain, he was sent to the battlefield by the emperor to gain experience.

The emperor has so many sons, but he chose him.

As a result, he worked hard, made many military achievements, and became the first prince to be crowned king.

By the way, his preferences are the same as Ning'er's. Hurry up and make some more pine nut cakes and send them to Prince Zhan's Mansion. Don't put too much sugar in them, Yuan'er doesn't like things that are too sweet."

Aunt Yu only responded, "Yes!"

Leng Jiuyuan arrived outside Xianfu Palace. There were several maids cleaning the courtyard. They bowed hurriedly, "Your Highness!"

He heard hearty laughter coming from inside the house from outside, so he walked straight in.

On the soft couch in the hall, the virtuous concubine sat in the center.

She was wearing a palace dress embroidered with peonies and had several gold hairpins and jade ornaments in her hair.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains and her eyes are like autumn water. Although she is almost middle-aged, she still has charm.

Every move reveals her innate nobility and dignity.

There were two women sitting next to her, they were her brother's nieces.

"Jiuyuan greets mother!" Leng Jiuyuan saluted.
