Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 206 The New Year's Eve Kiss (1)
She didn't realize that there was a hint of sourness in her tone.

Xiao Tingxuan's eyes widened, and the soft light in his eyes flowed, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

"You're jealous."

Ling Xihan's eyes flickered slightly, and then said angrily: "Fuck you big-headed ghost." She couldn't help but stomp Xiao Tingxuan hard, and then walked away.

Xiao Tingxuan was left standing there with a very strange expression.

"Do women like to use this method to hide their guilty conscience?" He muttered twice, and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed a strange breath in the air, and his eyes froze instantly.

Raising her eyes lightly, she looked ahead at a white-bottomed white butterfly wearing a brocade jacket with a floral stand-up collar, a water-blue skirt with ten golden lanthanum borders, and a delicate woman wearing a lotus blue bucket pattern and a silk crane cloak with flowers and foreign threads.

She stood in the wind and snow, her blue hair was blown by the wind, clinging to her soft cheeks, her face was slightly pale, and her dark eyes like spring water looked at him affectionately.

"Brother Prince." She called softly, her eyes almost fascinated.

Xiao Tingxuan gave her a cold look, ignored her, turned around and left.

"Brother Prince." Ouyang Hanyan hurriedly took two steps forward, his frail body seemed to be crumbling from the wind and snow.But Xiao Tingxuan in front of him didn't seem to hear her call at all, and kept walking forward.

Ouyang bit his lip Hanyan, "Do you hate me that much?"

Xiao Tingxuan finally stopped in his tracks, looked sideways slightly, his cold and peerless face was indifferent.

"Changwen, for my aunt's sake, this is the last time." He said and left without looking back.

Ouyang Hanyan's excited expression immediately turned pale, and she staggered back two steps, panic and fear flashed in her eyes.She opened her mouth to call Xiao Tingxuan to stop, but that godlike figure had disappeared at the end of the heavy snow, and the smell of him seemed to remain in the wind, making Ouyang Hanyan's eyes slightly blurred.

A gust of cold wind blew, and she regained consciousness in an instant.Looking at the direction in which Xiao Tingxuan left, his affectionate eyes gradually froze into ice.

"Why, why are you doing this to me? Brother Prince, why are you being so unfeeling to me?" She muttered to herself, and suddenly her eyes became fierce, "It's Ling Xihan, yes, it must be Ling Xihan, she seduced you , That's why you ignore me." She clenched her fists tightly, her face full of cruel jealousy that didn't match her age.

Ling Xihan, I will not let you go.Anyone who snatches the prince's brother from me will die.

The night was like a curtain, and the wind and snow still filled the air.

The next day, Emperor Yuan Qing received a memorial to impeach the left minister, saying that he used his power for personal gain, connived at his relative Luo Wenchong and his youngest son Luo Tianyun to fish the common people, and robbed the women of the people for various crimes.And the words were sharp, and the words implicitly mentioned that the queen was protecting her relatives, which caused public grievances to boil, and asked the emperor to punish him severely.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan Qing was not angry because someone impeached the queen this time, but calmly handed over the matter to Prince Xiao Tingxuan for investigation, and stated that he would never engage in favoritism or fraud.And sent someone to escort Luo Wenchong and his son into the palace.In this regard, Baiguan was astonished!

In recent years, many censors and civil officials were dissatisfied with the queen's exclusive favor, and participated in many performances to accuse the queen of being jealous.Every time the emperor was extremely angry and demoted dozens of officials for this matter.This time, the emperor was able to remain calm in the face of the accusations against the empress by all the officials, and he even announced in public that he would investigate the Luo clan.As a result, the court was shaken, and many people were speculating whether the queen would fall out of favor?

Of course, even if the queen fell out of favor, they are not in the mood to persuade the emperor to accept the concubine now.Although the emperor's demeanor is still the same as before, he has passed his forty years.Even if they wanted to send their daughter to the palace, they would still send it to the Prince's East Palace.However, the crown prince is the empress' son, so facing the rumors that the empress is about to fall out of favor, the wise ones choose to wait and see.Because no matter how the queen is, no matter what the Luo family is, the prince's status among the people is still very high.

So everyone was waiting for the result of Xiao Tingxuan's investigation.

Due to the intervention of Princess Li, many evidences have been destroyed, and those so-called witnesses are also insignificant.

At this time, Qiao Pangui, who was rescued by Ling Hong, played the most critical role.

Based on the testimony she provided, coupled with the information that Xiao Tingxuan secretly obtained from the people of Youzhou, the crime of Luoyuntian was quickly realized.

According to the charges, Luo Yuntian colluded with the government to work as a minion, molested women from good families, gathered crowds to make trouble, and even worse, raped dozens of innocent girls to death... His crimes are heinous and unforgivable.

Three days later, the empress, who had been ill for a long time, came to court with Emperor Yuan Qing again.After learning about all the crimes of Luo Tianyun and others, Emperor Yuan Qing was furious immediately and directly pronounced the sentence.And his father, instead of accusing and teaching his son's murder, indulged and covered him, which is even more abhorrent.Thinking that he had done good deeds and accumulated virtues for many years, he was spared the death penalty, but the crime of living was hard to forgive, so he was sentenced to five years in prison.In the Youzhou area, all officials involved in colluding with Luo Wenchong and his son will be dismissed.Serious corruption, and those who deliberately caused unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, etc., will be escorted back to the capital and executed at a later date.

Surprisingly, the queen actually said that the punishment for her younger brother was too light, and immediately sentenced him to 15 years in prison, and all his property was confiscated, as an example to others.

All the officials were in an uproar, and then stood in awe.Everyone said that the queen is selfless and is a model for the people.

The queen's attitude towards this matter clearly delineated the involvement of Luo Wenchong and his son with the entire Luo clan, so no one dared to use this matter to discuss the queen and the Luo clan behind it.

As for the princess Li, who protected their father and son everywhere, she stayed out of the matter from beginning to end and was not implicated.It was only after this incident that Prince Li's family, who had stayed in Kyoto for a long time, finally set off to return to Wuyou City.

In the spacious and bright room, behind the screen with black lacquer ivory carvings, there is a slim and graceful woman lying lazily on the couch of red sandalwood with folded branches and plum blossoms.The windows with carved wooden railings are half-closed, a slight cold wind blows in, and sandalwood incense is lingering on the incense burner with tangled branches of peonies and green leaves.The moon-white cotton spun gauze tent swayed gently, and a pleated phoenix-tailed skirt with long sleeves that dragged the floor fell to the ground, silently.

With her back leaning against a royal blue damask forged pillow, the woman with a scarlet phoenix on a red background and a thin quilt half-covered in the morning sun is wearing a purple satin Ruyi moiré shirt in the evening haze, and a pink silk-style wool satin jacket is faintly visible.On the head, the bun is simply fixed with a long hairpin inlaid with olive-shaped sun-green jadeite wrapped in a gilt torus, and soft as dense black silk hangs down, and the plum blossom drop earrings on the plump earlobes are faintly visible.

With her eyes half closed, she listened to the radiant report of the news from the beautiful woman in front of her in a rose-red jacket covered with gold, a pink skirt with large sleeves, and a maid bun on her hair.The watery eyes are calm.

"Is there any more?" When she finished speaking, the lazy and sleepy woman asked softly.

"Nothing."
