Chapter 140 Death of Princess Yunyin

Seeing that it was Prince Lanling who had arrived, Xiao Xian responded with a warm and polite smile, then turned and walked towards the mansion.

Xiao Jinyu also looked at King Lanling and smiled slightly.

After entering the mansion, Xiao Jinyu took him to a secluded pavilion to rest.

"Is this the road you have paved for your loved ones?" After a while, Lanling Wang looked at the girl's crystal clear face under the sunset light and asked with a smile, "Is it paved?"

"Yes, I'm very sorry for including the prince in my plan. I made you my bargaining chip to help the Xiao family negotiate terms with Chen Xu."

"Don't say that, Xiao Jinyu. I know you are not that kind of person. It's just that Princess Yunyin is too vicious. She made you the target of public criticism and made the emperor of your Southern Dynasty even more afraid of the Xiao family. You had no choice but to make this choice."

Having said that, he also looked into Xiao Jinyu's eyes and smiled brightly.

"But I'm very happy that you chose me at the last minute. Your trust in me is so precious to me!"

"Xiao Jinyu, it is my honor to marry you!"

These words made her heart beat fast, and before she knew it, a warmth welled up in her heart. She didn't even realize that her eyes were already sparkling.

Lanling Wang was stunned by the sight.

"Thank you, Prince!"

After a pause, she asked, "Is the prince about to leave for Northern Qi?"

"Yes, I recently received a letter from Qi. My grandmother, Queen Mother Lou, is not in good health and has been bedridden. I am afraid..."

Lou Zhaojun?

Hearing this name, Xiao Jinyu felt a slight respect in her heart. She had heard of Lou Zhaojun in her previous life. She was a Xianbei woman who was very concerned about the overall situation and had foresight. When it came to her marriage, she did not choose a high-ranking family with a good family background, but chose Gao Huan, who was just a conscripted soldier at the time. Despite her family's opposition, she resolutely married him. After that, she assisted her husband in his great cause and often gave him advice.

Later, Gao Huan became the King of Bohai. In order to expand his power, he married into the Rouran tribe. Lou Zhaojun even abandoned her position as the principal wife and submitted to the Rouran princess. When she was giving birth to a child, her life was in danger. She also stopped her followers from sending letters to Gao Huan, who was on the Western Expedition, just to avoid adding even the slightest burden or worry to her husband.

What more could a husband ask for with such a virtuous wife? So some people say that Gao Huan was able to achieve great things, and Lou Zhaojun, as his virtuous wife, played an indispensable role!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyu nodded and said, "Okay, when does the prince plan to leave? I will go to Northern Qi with him."

Gao Changgong was very happy, and considering that she would be reluctant to part with her family, he said, "After your coming-of-age ceremony!"

"Okay, I have already agreed with Uncle Xian that the coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow!"

Gao Changgong nodded and was about to leave, but before leaving, he suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Jinyu, can I kiss you?"

His eyes were bright, full of teasing and anticipation.

"Okay, come on!" she said.

Unexpectedly, she raised her head and closed her eyes. Gao Changgong smiled inwardly, then held her cheeks, kissed her forehead, and slid down her graceful nose to her rosy lips.

"Xiao Jinyu, I know my country is not beautiful to you, but since you have chosen to believe in me, I will do my best to make you feel that as long as I am here, I can give you the beauty you want!"

"I will protect you with my life!"

After he whispered these words in her ear, he left quietly. When Xiao Jinyu opened her eyes, he was no longer there.

Xiao Xian saw everything in the pavilion. After silently watching Lanling King leave, he came to Xiao Jinyu and saw that she was still in a daze, as if she was still thinking about something.

He also stood there for a moment before saying, "Ayu, he is indeed not bad, but the Gao family of Northern Qi... people like him are a minority after all, you still have to be more careful..."

Xiao Jinyu finally came back to her senses and nodded.

"Uncle Xian, I'm going to go see Princess Yunyin again. There's something I still don't understand!"

……

Princess Yunyin was imprisoned in the Court of Justice. When Xiao Jinyu, led by the jailer, came to Princess Yunyin's cell, she couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity, as if this was the place where Han Zigao drank the poisoned wine in the dream.

Seeing Xiao Jinyu coming, Princess Yunyin widened her eyes with great resentment and cursed, "What are you doing here, little bitch? Are you here to laugh at me?"

"Chen Jianchen, have you ever thought about why your brother no longer cares about you and doesn't save you? Why did you change your appearance and marry into the Xiao family as Princess Yunyin?"

"Hehe...why should I tell you?"

"Xiao Jian has already confessed all the crimes he has committed in the court. In fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess it."

Chen Jianchen's face turned pale, suspicion suddenly revealed in his eyes.

"What did he say? What did he tell you?"

"He said that you had been in love with Han Zigao and gave him a poem as a gift. You had originally planned to meet him at Qinxiao Pavilion, hoping to have a night of pleasure with him using aphrodisiac wine. However, General Han had to leave for something unexpected, so he placed the glass of wine you were going to give to General Han on your table. After you drank it, you mistook him for General Han, and so..."

"Then Xiao Yun came into being. Empress Dowager Zhang at the time felt that this matter was a disgrace to the royal family, so she simply said that you were dead, and then changed your identity and married you into the Xiao family, right?"

Chen Jianchen's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

"What did you say? He was the one who changed the glass of wine, not Han Zigao? He was the one who changed it?"

She seemed unwilling to believe it, and seemed to recall the humiliation of that day, when she woke up naked, still lying in the arms of a man, surrounded by whispers, contempt and ridicule.

They laughed at her, a princess who was having fun with men in brothels like a prostitute!

At that moment, the humiliation made her lose her mind, and she killed all those who laughed at her. This incident caused such a sensation that even the censor reported her and sentenced her to death!

So she attributed all her hatred to Xiao Luan and Han Zigao. She originally asked Xiao Luan to write a letter to Han Zigao, but in the end, the two of them secretly fell in love with each other. When Han Zigao met at Qinxiao Pavilion, he found out that the person he met was not Xiao Luan but her, Chen Jianchen, and he turned around and left with an excuse.

If he hadn't replaced that glass of wine...she wouldn't have ended up like that, being laughed at by a group of lowly common people!

Therefore, she also wanted to make that woman who always seemed high and mighty and inviolable fall into the dust, just like her!

She also wants Han Zigao to live forever in the pain of hurting the woman he loves most!

Let them be laughed at by the world and never see each other again!

This is her revenge!

But now... the person who made her drink the wine by mistake was not him? It was... Xiao Jian!

"Why are you telling me this? Why?"

Xiao Jinyu let her scream hysterically, and only asked after she calmed down:

"Chen Jianchen, who taught you the art of disguise? Why are you connected with Lu Junjun of Northern Qi? Did you and Jun Lingxuan conspire to kill my mother?"

This series of questioning made Chen Jianchen, who was laughing wildly, suddenly calm down. She sneered a few times, and a few strands of hair fell down to cover her eyes.

As she laughed, she looked at Xiao Jinyu and said proudly, "Yes, it was me and Lu Junjun who conspired together, so what?"

"If you have the ability, go to Northern Qi and kill Lord Lu!"

After saying this she laughed even more crazily.

Xiao Jinyu felt compassionate and walked out of the Supreme Court's office with a cold face. Just after she walked out of the office, Emperor Chen Xu came to the prison.

Chen Jianchen, who was originally a princess of a country, should not have been imprisoned by the court judge. Even if she died, she should have died with dignity, either with a cup of poisoned wine or a piece of white silk.

But Xiao Jinyu had already announced all her crimes in front of many scholars. If he was still partial to her, he would be like what "Xie Zhen" said, a tyrant who favored the royal family and enforced the law unfairly!

This will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world!

He is a man who knows how to make choices and is the king of a country!

Seeing Chen Xu, Chen Jianchen was overjoyed and crawled out of the cell.

"Brother, you are here. Are you here to let me out?"

"You know, everything I did was for our Chen royal family. Let these people let me out. I'm going to kill that bitch!"

Chen Xu had a cold face and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he just said lightly: "Achen, you are out of control!"

"Okay, I'll stay calm, I'll stay calm!" She tried her best to suppress her fear and anxiety, and stretched out her hand from the iron bars, "Brother, believe me, the death of Prince Shixing must have been caused by that slave girl. She must have bewitched the queen, and it was the queen who summoned her to the palace to treat you. No one knows what she said to the queen.

This slave girl is as popular as her mother, and she is also good at making plans. No, she is even more terrible than her mother. She has been in Jiankang for only a few months, but she has become so powerful that she can make things happen. If you don't kill her, she will become a disaster in the future!"

Chen Xu's expression changed, but he remained calm.

Seeing that he seemed unmoved, Chen Jianchen said, "Otherwise, you can let her go to Northern Qi and give her to Lanling King Gao Changgong. The Northern Qi monarch is cruel and licentious. If she goes there, someone will take care of her and make sure she dies without a burial place!"

At this time, Chen Xu replied calmly: "She has asked to marry to the Northern Qi, to Lanling Prince Gao Changgong!"

"what?"

Chen Jianchen was stunned for a moment.

Then Chen Xu inexplicably changed the subject and said, "Achen, this is where Han Zigao died."

Not knowing why he said this, Chen Jianchen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and the crazy and excited expression on his face suddenly disappeared.

"What do you mean by that, brother?" she asked.

"Before you die, I can fulfill one of your wishes! I will ensure your son's safety for the rest of his life!"

Chen Xu said, then raised his hand to signal Eunuch Wu to bring a glass of wine.

"He drank this glass of wine at the beginning."

In the midst of Chen Jianchen's shock and fear, he added solemnly:

"Gold Dust Wine!"
