Daughter of a High Sect: Abandoned Concubine Reborn

Chapter 58
Leng Xuanyue didn't pay attention to the strangeness of Jingchen's words, she smiled at him and said, "It's okay."

Jingchen smiled, thinking that this sentence is superfluous, the second brother's martial arts are so strong, and his water skills are also excellent, but if he fell into the water, what could happen.The concern in his heart, the obvious person, thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, mixed with this helplessness.

Leng Xuanyue suddenly remembered something, looked at him very seriously, and said, "Fifth Brother, Jincheng Weiji has also joined our Sanssouci Palace today."

Jing Chen frowned, "Wei Ji? You mean the Wei family, the overlord of Jincheng Commercial?"

Leng Xuanyue nodded, her eyes sparkled, "That's right, it's the Wei family, the overlord of the Jincheng business world."

Jing Chen said excitedly, "That's great! I just heard that the Wei family is not so easy to be manipulated by others. Xuanyuan Jue also approached him at the beginning, and the offer was very generous, but they were so tempted. Decisively refused, how did you convince them?"

Leng Xuanyue pursed her lips, her eyes gleaming with pride, "The Wei family is not short of money, no matter how generous the conditions are, they are not what they want."

Jingchen nodded, agreeing, the Wei family is the richest man in Jincheng, how could they care about those money, Xuanyuanjue and the prince obviously bet on the wrong treasure.

Leng Xuanyue continued, "It's all thanks to Ye Qingcheng."

Jing Chen wondered, "Her?" Does this matter have anything to do with her?Was she the one who convinced the Wei family?

Leng Xuanyue turned around and looked at him with piercing eyes, "That's right, it's her, she's actually Wei Tianzheng's granddaughter, the eldest lady of Xiangfu—Ouyang Feixue."

Jingchen looked at Leng Xuanyue in astonishment, and repeated Leng Xuanyue's words, "The daughter of Xiangfu, Wei Tianzheng's niece?????" Miss Qianjin of Xiangfu.

Leng Xuanyue nodded, "Well, it's not because of her that the Wei family agreed to cooperate with us. They don't know that Ouyang Feixue is with us. I'll tell you the reason for this in detail later. Now we I have to deal with some matters, you will follow me into the palace tonight."

After he finished speaking, he looked out the window with some deep and unfathomable eyes, leaving Jingchen aside full of doubts.

At night, everything was easily shrouded in darkness, and the rain that had been raining all day finally stopped slowly. Ouyang Feixue lay on the bed, feeling uneasy. Tomorrow, the emperor will punish the businessman who delayed paying the tribute The day is coming, Leng Xuanyue said, Grandpa's affairs, everything depends on him, but no matter how powerful he is, he is only the leader of a Jianghu organization, how can he change the emperor's mind.

She tossed and turned, feeling uneasy in her heart.She put on a coat, walked gently to the window, and opened it.

A gust of breeze swept across her cheeks, a little cool, the night sky after the rain stopped, although there was no moon, but a few stars were dotted here and there, twinkling.

From the promenade not far away, there were soft footsteps, she frowned, who was still outside at such a late hour.

Full of doubts, she gently opened the door and went out to find out.

Under the night, two figures walked outside through the corridor.Because it was very dark, she couldn't see their faces clearly, but from the back, it could be seen that it was Leng Xuanyue and Jingchen who were no different.

But, where are they going so late?

In the dark, while walking, Leng Xuanyue said to Jingchen next to her, "Let's go now, stay in the palace for one night and then go to the court. Presumably at that time, the emperor will deal with the businessman's late payment of tribute."

Jingchen replied, "It's all up to the second brother to decide."

Ouyang Feixue, who was hiding behind the shade of the tree, came out slowly after the two left. She murmured, "Chao Tang?" As for the qualifications for discussing matters, she always had an inexplicable familiarity with them, but she just couldn't remember who they were. Ouyang Feixue patted her aching head and slowly returned to the room.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Ran'er waited on Ouyang Jinxuan to change his clothes, with a smug smile on his face, "Master, let's see how the emperor will deal with Wei Tianzheng today."

Ouyang Jinxuan nodded, with a serious smile in his eyes, Wei Tianzheng, this is what will happen when you become enemies with me, Ouyang Jinxuan, let's see how you beg me for mercy today, hum.That kind of complacent look is evident at a glance.

Weifu
Wei Tianzheng, Wei Qilin and Wei Qifang also got up early, and they were anxiously waiting for the news in the hall. If there is no accident, someone will come to inform them of the emperor's presence in the court today after the morning court. Decide.

Wei Qifang paced uneasily, Wei Qilin was a little calmer, and sat there quietly, while Wei Tianzheng, there was no difference in his eyes, but his eyes were fixed on the door, never leaving for a moment. .

The grains of sand in the hourglass on the side, through the small neck, flow from top to bottom, non-stop, indicating the passage of time, no matter how fast the grains of sand flow, every minute and every second, it will affect the Wei family. The three men are suffering.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and Nanny Tang came over with an old nanny, "Master, Uncle, Second Master, are you ready for dinner?"

After waiting for the whole morning, there was no news. The expressions of Wei Tianzheng, Wei Qilin and Wei Qifang became gloomy and worried.It's already noon now, and the person who reported the letter has not been seen. Could it be that something happened, or the Second Highness was simply fooling them.

After receiving no response for a long time, Mammy Tang looked up at the three of them with a little doubt. When her eyes touched the gloomy faces of the three of them, her heart beat uneasy.

The master who is always smiling on weekdays, and the second master who is gentle and elegant, why are they looking so worried today? Could it be that something happened to the lady?
Thinking of this possibility, she felt chills down her spine and her heart missed half a beat.Her poor lady??????
Wei Tianzheng, Wei Qilin, and Wei Qifang, as time went by, their complexions became darker and darker, and their hearts slowly fell into the bottom of the valley, slightly cool, slightly cool.

Could it be that the doom of the Wei family was suppressed, Wei Tianzheng raised his head and sighed, his eyes became dry and unbearable, he finally failed to guard this family??????
Prime Minister
Seeing Ouyang Jinxuan come back from the morning, Zhao Ran'er greeted her happily, with a smile on her face, "Master, how is it?" Although she asked like this, she was already sure of Ouyang Jinxuan's heart. will give an affirmative answer.

Even though the Wei family has three heads and six arms, it is only the most humble businessman in the Dajin Dynasty. She is a princess, and Ouyang Jinxuan is the prime minister. Fingers, you can make them beyond redemption.

Ouyang Jinxuan stared at her fixedly, but couldn't laugh at all, seeing her full face of smile, his face hardened.

Chapter 59 Turning the corner

In the morning court today, the emperor wanted to severely punish those merchants who paid the tribute late, including the Wei family.

Seeing Xuanyuan Qiche mentioning the Wei family, his eyes were about to burst into flames, Ouyang Jinxuan thought bitterly, the Wei family will finally pay for what they did, those pair of hands behind his back Clenched hands gently.

This time, the Wei family will definitely be destroyed and disappear forever in the Dajin Dynasty!There was a cold light in Ouyang Jinxuan's eyes, but he lowered his head, no one noticed his strangeness.

However, the fact is not what he thought, he was too happy after all, what happened next was beyond his expectation, the Wei family, who should have been accused of disrespecting the royal family and arrogance to wealth, Not only was he not guilty, but he became a meritorious minister. The emperor praised the Wei family in front of the courtiers.

Everything was actually going in the opposite direction, he looked up at Xuanyuan Qiche who was sitting on the dragon chair in disbelief, Xuanyuan Qiche's lips opened and closed told him that he heard correctly, everything was true—— —

above the hall
Ouyang Jinxuan, who was here to watch a good show, stood quietly by the side without saying a word.He looked coldly at all civil and military officials and followed the emperor's words, "Businessman Wei Tianzheng thinks he dominates the business world in Jincheng. He has no royal family. It is really abominable if he doesn't pay tribute on time." What kind of punishment should be given to the Wei family.

Some said that he should be expelled from Jincheng, and some said that all his wealth should be confiscated and returned to the treasury.

The emperor noticed that Ouyang Jinxuan, who had been quietly standing aside from the beginning to the end without expressing any opinions, said, "Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, you have a very close relationship with the Wei family, and your eldest lady is It's Wei Tianzheng's only daughter, Wei Xinyu, so what do you think about it?" Xuanyuan Qiche's words seemed to be a question, but the cold light in his eyes was piercing to the bone, as if Ouyang Jinxuan's answer was not him. If he wanted the answer, he would fly into a rage.

Ouyang Jinxuan raised his head, with pain and struggle in his eyes, he respectfully stepped forward and knelt down, and said, "Your majesty, my humble minister—my father-in-law has done such a rebellious thing, my humble minister has nothing to say, let the emperor punish you!" .” His tone was a little choked, as if he was worried about the future of the Wei family.

Xuanyuan Qiche was obviously very satisfied with Ouyang Jinxuan's answer of "killing relatives with righteousness", and nodded appreciatively in his eyes.

At this time, Xuanyuan Jincheng slowly came out.

The second prince, Xuanyuan Jincheng, was dressed in a bright red court dress, and the jade crown on his head showed his noble status. There was no flaw in his handsome face carved like a knife, and his exquisite facial features were perfectly put together , black and white distinct phoenix eyes, seem to carry an evil spirit, sexy thin lips, hanging a faint smile.

He cupped his hands and bowed and said, "Father, my son has something to tell you." His voice was clear and hearty, with a man's unique hoarseness, which was as sweet as the sounds of nature.

Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but calm down, and looked at him with piercing eyes—this Dajin Dynasty, the evil prince who captivated all beings like a monster.Ouyang Jinxuan was no exception. He looked up at Xuanyuan Jincheng with doubts in his eyes, not knowing what the second prince wanted to report.

Xuanyuan Qiche on the Golden Luan Hall glanced suspiciously at Xuanyuan Jincheng, became curious, and said, "Oh? What does Chenger want to say?" Xuanyuan Qiche admired Xuanyuan Jincheng very much. When looking at him, his eyes The haze in the scene was obviously less, the originally tense lines on his face softened, and the tone of his speech could not help but bring a little kindness.

Upon receiving Xuanyuan Qiche's response, Xuanyuan Jincheng bowed lightly and said, "Yesterday, one of my minister's guards encountered heavy rain on his way, but happened to pass by the Weifu, so he stopped at the Weifu for a while. But I heard something in between??????"

When Xuanyuan Jincheng said this, he stopped on purpose, and glanced indifferently at Xuanyuan Qiche on the Golden Luan Hall.Xuanyuan Qiche showed a curious look on his face, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Xuanyuan Jincheng and waited for the next sentence.

Xuanyuan Jincheng continued, "The guard said that the Wei family's tribute was accidentally destroyed on the way??????"

Hearing the words, Xuanyuan Qiche frowned with thick eyebrows, and his face darkened a bit, he said quietly, "What does Cheng'er mean by these words?"

His eyes were tightly locked on Xuanyuan Jincheng, and his face darkened.Now, speaking for the Wei family is obviously the most taboo for Xuanyuan Qiche.

He looked at the son he admired the most on weekdays, with a slight disappointment in his eyes. Didn't he know that this heavy rain was just a great opportunity for him to get rid of those wealthy businessmen? Excuse me!
Xuanyuan Jincheng met Xuanyuan Qiche's sharp gaze calmly, and said calmly, "Father, although the Wei family's halfway tribute was destroyed this time, with their family property, we can prepare another one." Giving tribute is not a difficult task. However, although the heavy rain lasted only one day in Jincheng, other places, such as Wanzhou, Jingzhou and other places, have already fallen for a full month. The people there are displaced and no one cares about them. There are even refugees who fled thousands of miles to the imperial capital."

Xuanyuan Qiche on the dragon chair was startled when he heard the words, not knowing what Xuanyuan Jincheng meant by those words.His eyes were piercing, and those sword-like gazes coldly swept across the civil and military officials standing respectfully below.

Below, after listening to Xuanyuan Jincheng's words, a few people paused visibly.

Xuanyuan Qiche was very angry in his heart, the flood, the displacement of the people, such a big matter, no one has reported to him!Today, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Jincheng's explanation, he might not know until the entire Wanzhou and Jingzhou are submerged!
Xuanyuan Jincheng continued, "The guard said that those refugees who wandered here have no means of living. It was the Wei family who gathered them together and gave them food and clothing. As a result, today's tribute was destroyed, and there was no time to make up for it. Hand it in."

At this time, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Jingyi stepped forward and said, "Father, after hearing what my second brother said, I secretly investigated and found out that there is indeed something wrong."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qiche's face turned dark again, even Yi'er, who usually didn't care about the affairs of the court the most, knew about it.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xuanyuan Qiche's mouth, and he said softly, "Who knows what Cheng'er said."

At that time, the hall was completely quiet, although his voice was small, it was very clear, lingering in the hall, with a chilling air, which made the officials below tremble with fear.All the officials looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word.

Xuanyuan Qiche looked at all the officials with lowered heads mockingly, they were really good courtiers of his, who forgot their duties in high positions!

His eyes stayed on Ouyang Jinxuan who had been silent all the time, and he said, "Prime Minister, do you know about this refugee?"
