The ex-husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife!The princess turned around and remarried t

Xue Ruzhen's eyes lit up when he heard the news, "Really? When will His Highness come back?"

Gu Yuling shook her head, "I don't know about this yet. Anyway, it should be coming soon."

Gu Yuling sent a message to Xue Ruzhen, and chatted with her for a while in Xue Ruzhen's bedroom before leaving.

Early morning, Funing Hall.

Qin Shumin woke up after a night's sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw Xia Xiwei lying next to him, he suddenly looked embarrassed.

Xia Qianwei woke up earlier. After noticing Qin Shumin's embarrassed expression, she hurriedly explained to Qin Shumin.

"Has the Emperor been too tired recently? He fell asleep before even saying a few words to my concubine last night."

Xia Xiwei handed him a ladder, and Qin Shumin walked down the slope and nodded, "Maybe."

Xia Qianwei got up and personally fetched clothes for Qin Shumin, "No matter what, I hope that the emperor is healthy. As long as everything is fine with the emperor, I and the emperor will still have a long way to go in the future!"

Qin Shumin took Xia Xiwei's hand and said with apology and guilt: "Weiwei, thank you for your understanding."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I, my concubine, will serve and dress Your Majesty."

After the two got dressed, Xia Xiwei had breakfast with Qin Shumin. Qin Shumin went to court, and Xia Xiwei returned to her palace.

At noon, the regent princess received the message from Xia Xiwei.

After hearing that the poison on Qin Shumin's body had gradually worsened, the Princess Regent couldn't help laughing, and then immediately stood up to tell the Prince Regent.

Because Kong Danqing was expelled from the palace, Xue Ruzhen and Xia Qianwei had stopped teaching female officials.

Xia Xiwei is currently unconstrained, and she can finally have some time to let people check on Xiao Dong's situation.

The next day, Xia Xiwei received the results of the investigation.

It was said that Xiao Dong's condition suddenly worsened and he disappeared a month ago.

Xia Xiwei frowned, Xiao Dong was fine before, how could he suddenly get sick and then die!
"Are you sure? Is there any hidden secret inside?" Xia Xiwei asked the maid in charge of the investigation.

The palace maid thought about it carefully and said: "Xiao Dong was not completely well before. The slave girl found out that he had headaches since he was a child, especially when he was eleven or twelve years old. But when he got older, he had less headaches. Died. Xiao Naiguan relied heavily on both apprentices. Xiao Dong was ill, so Xiao Rang sent someone to take care of him. Xiao Dong died a month ago. Xiao Naiguan lost a lot of weight, and his clothes could no longer hang. Xiao Dong’s ashes were returned to Xiao Dong’s family, and it is said that Xiao Dong’s family was given a lot of settlement money.”

"Send someone to ask Xiao Dong's family privately, but what's going on?"

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

If this is the case, it can only be blamed on Xiao Dong's bad luck. Their affairs were half successful, but he did not have such good luck.

If this were not the case, there would definitely be something wrong with Xiao Rang!
Although Xia Xiwei had a keen sense of smell, a few days later the palace maid came back to her with news that everything was true.

It seems that Xiao Dong's life is in bad shape.

The eighth day of April is a good day.

The capital city has completely entered spring, with red flowers and green willows.

Many people have already changed into spring clothes, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, people often go out for an outing.

Spring sowing in the suburbs of Beijing has also ended.

After experiencing floods last year, this year's weather has not only improved, but the weather has been smooth. The wheat in the fields has begun to ear, and with the spring breeze, green waves of wheat are rolling.

In spring, everything comes alive.

After more than three months of long journey, Qin Shuhuang and his party finally arrived near the suburbs of Beijing.

Looking at the familiar scenery in front of them, everyone felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.

The journey back to Beijing from Xiagong City was smooth, except that Liu Renren contracted a cold and was delayed in Aucheng for a few days.

Fortunately, Aocheng had a complete supply of medicinal materials and Qin Shuhuang had good medical skills, so nothing happened to Liu Renren.

Otherwise, Liu Renren's old bones may have to be handed over halfway.Three days ago, Du Qinglin had already returned to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing with his troops.

The number of Beidi envoys returning to the capital is now small, 500 in total, and 200 of them are elite soldiers sent by the Xu family to escort Qin Shuhuang.

The team returning to the capital was far different from the team of more than 1000 people when they left the capital.

In the suburbs of Beijing, the first thing Qin Shuhuang and his entourage passed by was the large gathering organized in four counties on the outskirts of Beijing last year.

A group of teams saw a large gathering on the outskirts of Beijing in the distance.

Due to the rare good weather, Qin Shuhuang did not take the carriage, but rode with Liu Renren to enjoy the scenery on the outskirts of Beijing.

The second master, fourth master, and Xu Xinsong of the Xu family also returned to the capital this time. Firstly, they led troops to protect Qin Shuhuang. Secondly, Du Qinglin and Xu Siyuan were scheduled to get married in June this year, and the Xu family always wanted some people to come back to help.

If Xu Zizhang didn't still have important responsibilities, he should have come back.

It has been almost 20 years since the second master and the fourth master left the capital. They were still young people when they left the capital, but now they are middle-aged when they return.

Xu Xinsong, a junior, was born in Xia Gongcheng. This was his first time in the capital. Even before he reached the outskirts of Beijing, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Now that he saw the large market in the suburbs of Beijing in the distance, he couldn't wait to fly to the large market immediately to see what was there.

He Yutian had good eyesight and said in surprise: "Your Highness, is that the suburban market in the suburbs of Beijing that you had people set up last year?"

Qin Shuhuang looked over and saw that the location was indeed right.

But if you look closely, you can’t believe it.

When I came here to check it out last year, I found that the markets in the four counties were actually not very big, covering less than half a mile from beginning to end, and they were mostly filled with small businesses and hawkers.

Now it seems that there is a surging flow of people, which is no less than the lively streets in Beijing.

Liu Renren stroked his beard and smiled happily, "Your Highness, all the houses you planned last year have been built."

Qin Shuhuang also saw it.

Many of these houses are located close to both sides of the market, with a unified two-story style.

People can live upstairs, there is a small courtyard at the back, and the downstairs can be used as a business facade.

It is precisely because these buildings house so many people that the scale seems much larger than last year.

"Let's go, I invite Your Highness to visit the market on the outskirts of Beijing again."

Qin Shuhuang nodded happily and looked back at Xie Xuanye behind him.

Xie Xuanye's narrow phoenix eyes slightly raised and he smiled back at her.

Although the poison on Xie Xuanye's body has been completely eliminated, in order to prevent accidents, he still disguised a blue scar on his forehead.

Even Du Qinglin didn't know about such changes.

The group of people walked towards the market on the outskirts of Beijing. The elite soldiers of the Xu family were all dressed as caravan guards, so they did not attract attention.

As they got closer to the market, everyone was more and more amazed.

The market on the outskirts of Beijing was even more lively than when they saw it from a distance.

There is no vacant shop on both sides of the market, and they all open their doors to attract customers.

The streets are crowded with people.

The cries of vendors were everywhere.

There are even hundreds of "caravans" like them shopping in the market.

The neighing of mules and horses, the voices of people mixed together, and it was very lively. Who would have thought that such a prosperous market in the suburbs of Beijing did not exist last year! (End of chapter)
