Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 118 Inspection 1
"Zhan Rong, what did you say? Don't try to change the subject!" The Empress Dowager's mind was bright at the moment, and she couldn't help being furious, "My family asks you, then Xiaoyi, when did you know that she belongs to Ding Yuan's cousin?"

"yesterday!"

"Really? That is, before yesterday, no one around you knew her?"

"Yes!"

"If Ai's family finds out that there is one person who knows, what do you say?"

"Does the Empress Dowager want to arrest the members of the Zhan family and torture them?"

Qin Yunguang was furious: "Zhan Rong! You are so brave! How dare you talk to the Queen Mother like this!"

Zhan Rong said: "The emperor has arrested a lot of people recently, the fourth prince, the fifth prince... I think it's all because of the relationship with the second prince who rebelled against the party! Unfortunately, our Zhan family did a business with the second prince many years ago, so we will be implicated Not surprising! But after arranging the four princesses to play this scene with so much hard work and planning for such a long time, a child was born during this time, and now an innocent commoner is killed, it would be too motivating for everyone!"

"Zhan Rong!" Zhan Jun snorted, tugging at her sleeve, not allowing her to say any more.

Ji Liangruo was also frightened by her, fearing that she would bring about a fatal disaster.Turning to look at Qin Yunguang, I saw that his eyelids were trembling: "You also know how to mobilize people? If I really want to arrest you, I will just say that you have colluded with the second prince, so it's over? Do you need to mobilize people like this? I think you are impatient. Here! Someone—"

"Your Majesty!" Before the words finished, a eunuch hurried in, "General Zhou Xijun is asking for an audience outside the hall."

Qin Yunguang was stunned for a moment, and the queen mother frowned slightly.

"Show him in." Qin Yunguang said.

After a while, Zhou Xijun walked in and knelt on one knee beside Zhan Rong.

The queen mother let out a long breath: "Xi Jun, you came just in time, my aunt has something to ask you."

"Auntie, please."

"Do you know that something happened to your wife's family yesterday?"

Zhou Xijun raised his head and glanced at Qin Yunluo: "Auntie is talking about the murder of the fourth princess?"

"you know?"

"There is a lot of rumors in the city, and the minister knew about it yesterday."

"Do you know who died?"

Zhou Xijun frowned almost invisibly, remembering that he met Zhan Rong at the palace gate yesterday: "My name is Xiaoyi, and she is the maid of the Zhan family."

"you recognize?"

"I've seen it several times at Zhanjia."

"Do you know she has another identity?"

"I heard that she is Ding Consort's cousin?" He looked at Ding Yuan.

"You know?" The Queen Mother and Qin Yunguang asked at the same time.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone was sweating.

Zhan Rong fell on the ground, surprisingly calm.Zhou Xijun stared at her fingers on the ground, and said slowly: "I just heard that from the people before. I asked Zhan Rong last night, and she said yes."

Ji Liangruo and Zhan Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the Queen Mother and Qin Yunguang were greatly disappointed, and Qin Yunluo and Li Fumei began to despair...

"Even if it wasn't a conspiracy, it was an accident..." Qin Yunluo cried, "How can I not know the truth about killing people? Although I am a princess, I am not born to the empress dowager, and I am not favored by anyone. Don't dare to disregard human life!"

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said to Qin Yunguang: "Yunluo is quite reasonable. Of the eight daughters of your father, one is missing and the other is not yet an adult, she is the only one... You can't let the Ai family have no face to see you after a hundred years. Your father—”

Li Fumei heard the words, kowtowed again and again, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen Mother..."

Qin Yunluo also kowtowed in gratitude.

Ding Yuan swayed and knelt on the spot dumbly, his whole body full of despair.

"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven!" The queen mother said to Qin Yunguang again, "Aijia suggested that she be demoted to a commoner and her property confiscated. From now on, she will no longer be a royal princess. If she commits any crimes again, she should be judged as a commoner. As for Ding Yuan, the official is in the same position and will not be affected by his wife's crimes; his cousin, since she was once his concubine and gave birth to him, is of course his Ding family, how to bury him, Ding Yuan said Forget it!"

Qin Yunguang nodded: "The queen mother's suggestion is good, let's do it like this! As for Zhanrong—"

Zhan Rong didn't move, but Zhou Xijun was surprised.

When he saw it, he waved his hand: "Forget it! For the sake of uncle and Xijun, I will let you off this time! Xijun, your wife is too hot-tempered and irritable, take her back and discipline her well! Otherwise, someday disaster will come. From the mouth, it will be your Zhou family that will be harmed!"

"I obey the order!" Zhou Xijun broke out in cold sweat.

After leaving the palace, he grabbed Zhan Rong: "What did you say in front of the queen mother and the emperor?"

"It hurts..." He held it too tightly, Zhan Rong let out a low cry and frowned, "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Let go of her!" Zhan Jun hastily separated them, looked at Zhan Rong's wrist, and asked him, "Are you so heavy-handed at home?"

Zhan Rong rubbed his pinched wrist and said nothing, Zhou Xijun laughed angrily: "I can't even bear to speak loudly to her...Hmph! Brother-in-law, you must know better than me how capable your sister is! She will let Do you suffer yourself?"

Zhan Jun looked at them and sighed: "Forget it, I don't care about your husband and wife! If you are busy, I will send Zhan Rong home first!"

"She is from the Zhou family, so she doesn't need to go to the Zhan family every day!"

Zhan Rong flicked his sleeves: "Could it be that brother doesn't even understand this truth?"

"Okay!" Zhan Jun snorted, looked at Zhan Rong, "Be gentle with your husband!"

He had never been cruel to her, and Zhan Rong was so wronged that he was about to cry.

Zhan Jun sighed, got into the carriage first, and said in the carriage, "Would you like to go together? It's just a matter of talking." He came here on foot, so he wanted to show off.This is the only car here, which was sent by Jiulian to pick him up after he left.

After a while, both Zhan Rong and Zhou Xijun came up.Along the way, none of the three spoke.When he was about to arrive at Zhou's house, Zhou Xijun suddenly said: "You took the initiative to call me yesterday and told me what you said, isn't it because I came to testify for you today?"

Zhan Jun looked at them in bewilderment.

Zhan Rong was quiet for a while and said: "That's just in your mind, if you don't do it, what can I do to you? I'm ready to die!"

Zhou Xijun closed his eyes, breathing heavily.

Zhan Jun looked at them thoughtfully.When the carriage arrived at the door of Zhou's house, he called Zhan Rong: "Rong Rong, let me have a word with you."

Zhou Xijun heard the words and got out of the car first.Zhan Jun whispered to Zhan Rong: "He has feelings for you."

Zhan Rong was silent for a moment, then said disdainfully: "Who knows..."

She is self-willed and assertive, and others cannot interfere, Zhan Jun still can only sigh: "It's up to you. He will be emotional, you must not."

It took Zhan Rong a long time before he nodded.

A few days later, she was embroidering a purse in her room. When Zhou Xijun came back, he opened the door and saw the things in her hand standing at the door.

She ignored it, embroidered for a long time and found that he hadn't moved, and raised her head: "You blocked my light."

Zhou Xijun looked at her, but still didn't move.

She also looked at him, pulled the thread and bit it off, revealing her pearly white teeth and a lilac tongue.After retying the end of the thread and rubbing the needle against the hair, he finally stepped aside, walked over, and sat down at the table.

She lowered her head and continued, still ignoring it.

"I heard it was for me?" He stretched out his hand to pull the tassel under the purse.

She clapped her hands, and said: "You must tell a lie." She was just betting at that time, hoping that he would enter the palace to save her because of this.In the end, she won the bet.

He couldn't help laughing, and said with heartache: "If you just say yes, I will be much happier..."

"does it matter?"

"You're fine..."

She stopped suddenly: "If you don't want it, just say so, and I will avoid it. Seeing that my sister-in-law is about to give birth, my brother's thoughts are all on her. There is a lot of business in the store, so I can't handle it."

"Your thoughts are all on the Zhan family, but do you ever remember that you are already from the Zhou family?"

"If I can't remember, do I dare to talk nonsense in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor?"

His face sank: "Don't do it next time! The Zhou family can't protect you forever!"

"Of course I know."

He fell silent suddenly, looking straight at her.

She ignored it at first, but then she felt a little uncomfortable: "What's the matter with you today? Sperm brainwashed me, I just undressed—"
