phoenix returns to the world

Chapter 199 Counterattack
Everyone sighed, what is the princess doing?
Feng Nishang's hands kept rubbing back and forth on the neck of the dead body. When a layer of fine powder on the neck fell off, a faint trace of wrinkles appeared, and her black eyes lit up. It was as expected in Feng Nishang's heart. The corners of the mouth raised slightly, and when the "wrinkle" deepened, he pulled it suddenly, and a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings fell down.

Those servants watched Wang Hao's movements, some immediately closed their eyes, some squinted slightly, afraid but wanted to see.

When the layer of human skin mask was removed, a strange face was revealed, with a protruding Adam's apple on the neck, exposed outside, that face looked a little pale because it hadn't seen the sun.

It's not a woman, it's a man.

Feng Nishang put her hand into the corpse's chest again, and then took out two round apples. Everyone saw that the chest, which was still tall just now, immediately became flat.

Baili Yunque glanced at it, and was shocked immediately. He didn't expect that there was someone who liked being a woman more than him. In order to mix with women, he would rather put two apples in his chest every day and wear a mask on his face.

"Princess, is this maid a man?" Baili Skylark Orchid pointed at the dead body, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, the facts were right in front of her eyes, but she had to believe it.

Feng Nishang did not answer Baili Yunque's words, but pondered the cause of the man's death, "Baili Yunque, is he from our house?"

Baili Yunque stepped forward, looked at the dead body's face, and shook his head, "It's not from our house."

This is the mansion newly built by Emperor Ming Jing for the second prince, and those servants have just been sold. This person can enter the mansion in such troubled waters, there must be someone in the mansion, so I don't know who he is dealing with.

At this time, on the Hall of Promise,

The courtiers stood on both sides, waiting for the emperor to go up to the court. Standing at the top was Ming Qiushui, dressed in black court clothes, with a jade pendant of upper jade hanging on his waist, with a water character engraved on it, standing with his hands behind his back, perfectly Tian Cheng's aura spontaneously emerged.

Opposite him is the eldest prince Ming Dongchen, with meticulous hair tied high in a purple gold crown, and a face full of dissatisfaction. He didn't know that the king loved this bastard before, and he vaguely remembered when he was a child in the palace. There was such a child. At that time, they often teased him. Many times, they beat him to the ground. At that time, the king didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the last time I saw him in Nanchao Kingdom, the following two countries issued documents, and this bastard became the second prince of Beimo Kingdom. As soon as he returned to Beimo, Your Majesty gave him a third concubine. Taking concubines is not a big deal, but it is the family background of the three concubines that makes him jealous.

One is the daughter of Qin Tianjian, the other is the daughter of the great general, and the other is the daughter of the imperial guards. Not long ago, the queen mother was in charge of the palace. Now the emperor and the mother are divided into half. The concealment is really deep.

Originally thought that he had already gained the upper hand, and he was the only one to be crowned prince, but unexpectedly, the second prince, Ming Qiushui, came. It seemed that he was still some distance away from being crowned prince.

And the breath that Ming Dongchen couldn't swallow the most was Shangguan Yunyan, the daughter of the commander of the imperial guards. He was the one who fell in love with it first. Proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she can be said to be the most talented woman in Beimo Kingdom. When he married Xifeng Kingdom before, he had long thought that after he got married, he would carry Shangguan Youruo into the mansion, but he did not expect that he would marry Xifeng Kingdom. The Guolian marriage failed, and Shangguan Youruo also entered other people's houses.

With deep resentment, Ming Dongchen's gaze fell on Ming Qiushui like a layer of cold light from hell.Of course, Ming Qiushui also felt it, but he didn't feel terrible. He cast a sidelong glance at Ming Dongchen, but moved away naturally, without any fear, and still stood tall on the hall.

"Your Majesty!" With a drawn out voice, a male and female man in a dark red robe and holding a floating dust stood bent over to one side, and then saw a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe walking from the bead curtain. After walking out, Ming Jingdi first saw Ming Qiushui.

That face made Emperor Ming Jing a little dazed, as if he had seen her, because Ming Qiushui was so similar to her, seeing Ming Qiushui brought back his memories and also aroused his obsession with her.

"Your Majesty, best wishes and peace!" Everyone knelt down and saluted Emperor Ming Jing.

"Get up," when Emperor Ming Jing sat on the large dragon chair, Eunuch Wei stood on the steps, and with a long shout, everyone stood up and stood on both sides of the hall.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do," Eunuch Wei's elongated voice rang out again.

In the main hall, some courtiers were below, looking around with the corners of their eyes to see if anyone stood up.

After Eunuch Wei's voice fell, a middle-aged man in court uniform came out and stood in the center of the hall, "Report to the emperor, I have something to play."

When Emperor Ming Jing saw Sima Xiang standing in the hall, he knew what he was talking about. Now he couldn't control the whole Beimo, and some trivial matters were moved to the court hall. Emperor Ming Jing's dark eyes darkened, and his eyes rose A touch of displeasure, but had to continue listening.

Emperor Ming Jing handed a color to Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei opened his mouth after receiving Emperor Ming Jing's order, "Master Sima, what do you want to play?"

Suddenly, Sima Xiang knelt in the main hall and said to Emperor Ming Jing in the main hall, "Your Majesty, give me justice. The only daughter of my minister was carried into the second prince's mansion, but she was killed, her body was covered with bruises. , seems to be abused."

After Sima Youruo's death, Sima Xiang gave several memorials to Emperor Ming Jing, but was thrown aside by Emperor Ming Jing. Of course he knew about it, but when he thought of Ming Qiushui, he deliberately pretended not to know it, thinking that it would be nothing. , Unexpectedly, Sima Xiang said it in the court.

Immediately, Emperor Ming Jing's face darkened a little, and his sharp eyes glanced at the people in the hall. When he saw the slightly sideways face of Ming Dongchen, who was standing first on the right, he suddenly understood that Sima Xiang had found a backing. Only after defecting to the queen did he dare to speak out about it in the hall.

"Oh? Qiushui, what do you think of this matter happening in your mansion?" Emperor Ming Jing immediately threw this matter to Ming Qiushui, his voice was faint, without any emotion, but when he called the word Qiushui , still with a touch of kindness.

"My lord, I am also very guilty of the death of Lord Sima's daughter, because I have never been there before when Lord Sima's daughter went to the courtyard. Is it the trace left behind by human abuse?"

Ming Qiushui turned around slightly, glanced at Sima Xiang, with a half-smile on his face, but his black eyes were icy cold, and the light falling on Sima Xiang was even more like an inch of ice.

When Sima Xiang heard the second prince's words, his back felt a chill, and it seemed that a layer of cold sweat appeared. The traces on Sima Youruo's body were...how could he say it? He just thought of the memorials he had handed over time and again, like falling into the sea. Moderate, no news.

In the past few days, his wife was making a fuss at home, so he had no choice but to turn against each other and join the Queen's faction. He told Emperor Ming Jing about this in the hall, firstly because he wanted to seek justice for his daughter, and secondly The queen's postgraduate entrance examination for him was to break contact with Emperor Ming Jing, and the hall was turned upside down.

"Your Majesty, my daughter was stabbed to death with a knife in the second prince's mansion. If she killed her daughter so blatantly, the murderer must be used to domineering in the second prince's mansion. My daughter is the first one to break the precept. Next ..." Sima Xiang stopped, looked at Shangguan Hong, and then at Tan Qingming. Below was their daughter. He wanted to sing something that made Emperor Ming Jing a headache in the hall. The commander of the imperial guards turned against the general and Ming Jingdi.

Shangguan Hong and Tan Qingming certainly understood what Prime Minister Sima meant. The two of them tested the second prince's background yesterday, and they thought about it after going back. Although their daughter was poisoned, the poison was cured, and she is still in the second prince's mansion. When I saw the Second Prince yesterday, I felt that this person had an outstanding appearance, a dignified appearance, and a natural aura. He was even better than Ming Dongchen who had been the First Prince for a long time, and even the young Ming Jing Emperor. Ming Qiushui was a natural dragon Subface.

Although, for the time being, Emperor Ming Jing and the empress each have half, it seems that the empress faction is overpowering the emperor. Now that the second prince has returned to Beimo, the situation must be different. They believe that the second prince will turn things around in a short time. Don't throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

"Hehe, Master Sima, why are you so hesitant? Could it be that the Qin Tianjian in Beimo Kingdom is of this level, Your Majesty, if outsiders know about such a Qin Tianjian, it's not like they have face but no goods." Cao Mang, Sima Xiang immediately wanted to speak, but Ming Qiushui didn't give him time to speak, his voice was cold and overwhelmed the voice in his throat, "I thought it was right to seize the position of Sima Xiangqin Tianjian immediately, he not only can't manage My own daughter also spread rumors. As for the death of Sima Youruo, I will definitely give you an explanation. I can hardly tell you about Sima Youruo. I will write a book and pass it on to the king and the court Everyone, you can see it at a glance."

Hearing what the second prince said, Sima Xiang was stunned immediately, looked up at Ming Qiushui, looked at Ming Qiushui's back, Sima Xiang realized that he was really blindfolded by lard, how could he go against this man, look Looking at the man's straight back, his hands behind his back, and his natural aura, this is Long Zi.

"Zoo!" As soon as Ming Qiushui's voice fell, Emperor Ming Jing opened his mouth and did not signal Eunuch Wei to speak. Emperor Ming Jing's black eyes lit up with joy. He was worthy of being his son. Before the opponent has a chance to counterattack, kill the opponent in the cradle.

Emperor Ming Jing was also thinking about changing the position of Qin Tianjian recently. It happened to be this opportunity to win the position of Sima Xiang, which is very good!
"Your Majesty" Sima Xiang knew at this time that he had unintentionally become a useless chess piece for Ming Qiushui and Emperor Ming Jing. When the chess piece was useless, he immediately replaced it. I want to leave, but there is no way.

"Come here, take Sima Xiang down," Eunuch Wei's voice spread outside the hall, and two guards came in immediately, one left and one right holding Sima Xiang down.

"Elder Prince" At this moment, Sima Xiang couldn't care less, and immediately called out Ming Dongchen, hoping to save him for the sake of them being a gang.

"Brother, you don't care about our housework, do you? I've realized that Sima Xiang is not worthy of being a heavenly supervisor. He can't tell the difference between family affairs and state affairs. The Wuji Hall is also a place to talk about trivial matters, and there have been several incidents in Huangcheng recently. Qin Tianjian didn't investigate the murder case, but just talked about his corrupt daughter." When Ming Qiushui was talking about the several murder cases in Huangcheng, he took a deep look at Ming Dongchen intentionally or unintentionally, which also made the hall go. Emperor Ming Jing looked at Ming Dongchen, but due to the double attention, Ming Dongchen didn't speak.

"Bold Sima Xiang, regardless of right and wrong, immediately took Sima Xiangqin's position as a heavenly supervisor, disturbed the imperial court, and forced him into the Department of Precepts."

The Department of Prophecy specially imprisoned the torture chamber of the Qin Tianjian. In order to prevent the Qin Tianjian from leaking important matters of the country, the emperors of all dynasties would be imprisoned once they violated the law. , a straw mat ends this life.

Sima Xiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his mouth was blocked by the guards around him and he dragged him down.
