Chapter 353: Jiejiejie...

The Sixth Princess’s Mansion, at the main gate.

A man in ordinary cloth clothes walked hurriedly.

He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he quickly walked to the gatehouse.

He took out an unsigned letter from his pocket, handed it to the doorman on duty, and said quickly in a low voice:

"Please give it to Your Highness. This is a letter from Miss Zheng."

After saying this, without waiting for a reply, he jumped out like a frightened rabbit, turned around and blended into the crowd in the streets, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The doorman held the thin piece of letter, looked in the direction where the visitor disappeared, scratched his head and looked confused.

This man was none other than a yamen runner from Jingzhao Prefecture.

Carrying the heavy bag of twenty taels of silver in his pocket, he completed the mission at a brisk pace.

Although I have no idea about the complicated calculations between these noble families, the money is real.

He deliberately found a piece of gray coarse cloth to cover most of his face, shrank his neck, and finished speaking in a muffled voice.

He turned around and ran, not daring to stay for a moment.

In the palace, Qinghui Hall.

Qin Zhaoyue slept until noon before waking up slowly.

After figuring out the origin of the "merit book" in my mind, a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, and I felt a sense of languid peace and contentment. Last night, when I spoke with Xuanjizi, he never mentioned the word "merit."

Although they are both time travelers, people's hearts are hidden, and it is hard to say whether they are human or ghost.

It must be said that under the influence of the people around her, she has also developed a few tricks.

Alas, she was such a kind person, but unfortunately the environment was dangerous. Can we blame her for this?

Sui Mo was on a mission outside, leading the Mo Group, and he specially sent his personal maid into the palace to serve him.

Tao Yao swiftly helped her wash and dress, and asked softly, "Your Highness, you look so good today. Do you want to put on some makeup?"

Qin Zhaoyue looked at her own face that was as clear as a lotus in clear water and waved her hand: "Forget it, who would I put on makeup for?"

Thinking of the stunning glimpse I got last night under the dim lights, a sly smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Isn’t this what literati and scholars like?

When it comes to fishing, it’s important to have a good balance between tension and relaxation.

Sometimes tight, sometimes loose, let him experience what it means to miss someone so much that it feels like three years have passed.

Humming a tuneless little tune, with her face bare and looking refreshed, she strolled to the dining hall of Qinghui Palace with brisk steps.

The older ones were not there, only the three younger ones were having dinner.

Qin Zhaoyue sat down in the main seat and a palace maid brought her bowls and chopsticks.

"Where are my brother and sister?"

Xiaojiu swallowed the snack in his mouth and rolled his eyes.

"Third and fourth sisters are busy with the preliminary exams, and fifth brother is also helping. Only you, sixth sister, are lazy!"

Qin Zhaoyue picked up a dish with chopsticks nonchalantly: "With great power comes great responsibility. If I go, I'll just cause more trouble, which is inappropriate."

Xiaojiu was choked by this self-righteous "self-knowledge" and said angrily:

"Huh! My seventh and eighth brothers and I got up early in the morning to do our homework!"

"Hey~~~" Qin Zhaoyue dragged out the tune and clapped his hands perfunctorily, "Then you guys are really great~~~"

Xiaojiu was so angry that he stared at her with his eyes wide open.

At this time, the palace maid quietly stepped forward and presented a letter: "Your Highness, this is what Miss Sui Mo just ordered to be delivered to the palace."

Qin Zhaoyue took it and opened the outer envelope, revealing two letters inside.

The first letter was a briefing from Sui Mo, stating that the property under Zheng Huiyin's name had been successfully transferred, and the plan to appear in court had also been successfully completed.

Even if Zheng Huiyin responded quickly, she could not save her reputation from being severely damaged.

The path to officialdom was cut off and the good marriage also became a bubble.

Well done!

Qin Zhaoyue was smiling and in a good mood.

She unfolded the second letter and found that it was written by Zheng Huiyin.

The letter first revealed the root cause of the conspiracy at the birthday party.

Speaking of Cui Wenjing, the cousin of the Cui family, the elders of the Duke's Mansion tacitly approved and even secretly facilitated their private interactions.

She secretly fell in love with him, but in fact she was deceived by Cui Wenjing's sweet words and agreed to it for some unknown reason.

After the failure of the plot, he was put in solitary confinement. After being released, he learned that Cui Wenjing had already fled far away from the capital without leaving even a single word.

Seeing this, Qin Zhaoyue narrowed his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

According to the original plot, the original person fell into a trap, his reputation was ruined, and Prime Minister Pei seized the opportunity to attack him.

The empress was furious and eventually expelled the original body from the capital and exiled him to a remote frontier.

This incident also created a rift between the Prime Minister's Office and the Empress.

Oh, what a great Cui family!

He set up a conspiracy with the intention of changing the situation in the court and triggering a dispute between the emperor and the prime minister. It was really a good tactic.

In the second half of the letter, Zheng Huiyin wrote every word with tears in her eyes.

She admitted that she accepted the blame and that she deserved the humiliation she suffered in court today.

Her reputation has been ruined, and the Duke's Mansion will definitely hide her in order to protect the family's reputation.

She was unwilling to sink into depravity and was willing to pledge allegiance to the royal family.

If His Majesty takes any action against the Duke of Zheng's Mansion or the Cui family, she is willing to act as an insider and provide everything necessary.

"Oh……"

Qin Zhaoyue let out a short sneer and threw the letter casually on the table.

Xiaojiu was frightened by the laughter, and when he looked up and saw the half-smile on Sixth Sister's face, he muttered:

"Sixth sister, what are you laughing at? I feel like... you have bad intentions."

Qin Zhaoyue glanced at her lazily:

“I laugh at some people who are really capable.

After experiencing a devastating disaster, he can kneel down straight and make the best choice for himself in the blink of an eye.

Not everyone has this ability to bend and stretch."

Xiaojiu was confused and blinked his big eyes with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Qin Zhaoyue put the letter away.

If she really wanted to compete for the throne, then holding Zheng Huiyin as a card would be of some use.

His Majesty is dissatisfied with the aristocratic families and is targeting the Duke of Zheng's Mansion.

With Zheng Huiyin, the eldest granddaughter, as an insider, collecting evidence or forging evidence, and striking back at the critical moment, it would be much easier to bring down the Duke's Mansion.

But... Qin Zhaoyue doesn't have the time for that!

The more tolerant and scheming a character is, the more wary she will be.

She is very familiar with the story of Gou Jian sleeping on firewood and tasting gall. Is it possible to give her a chance and wait for her to return as a king in the future? It's funny!

Tit for tat was just the appetizer. If she hadn't been concerned about the deep roots of Duke Zheng's mansion, she would have wanted to send Zheng Huiyin straight to hell. Now, let's see what His Majesty does.

If His Majesty really wants to attack the Duke's Mansion, she doesn't mind giving him a final blow and putting an end to it once and for all.

"Hey, Sixth Sister," Xiaojiu looked at the increasingly "bright" smile on her face and shrank his neck. "Your smile now... really looks like the bad guy in the picture book who is about to do something bad..."

Qin Zhaoyue was not annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he grinned and revealed a row of small white teeth.

"Really? Hehehe..."
