Chapter 321: Prince of Ningyuan
From this we can see that the real Lian Mengyi is a good girl, but good people don't always live long.
I'm afraid she died four years ago, or was sold to the State of Li by human traffickers.
When Yang Fuliu heard the three words "she is dead", she opened her mouth and wanted to bite He Xiang's hand.
Leng Yue quickly removed her jaw, then asked nervously, "Did you get bitten?"
He Xiang shook her head and retreated back to Qi Yue's side.
"Lian Mengyi poisoned the Emperor of Dayi, who is my brother, and was executed two months ago."
Zhang Ruirui staggered and murmured, "How could it be... Xiaoyi is so kind, how could she do such a thing?"
Qi Yue looked at her meaningfully and said, "She definitely wouldn't have done that before, but can you be sure what she went through after being abducted by human traffickers? Those experiences may also change a person."
"Like you, when your father was around, did you ever hurt someone with a sharp weapon?"
Zhang Ruirui suddenly realized what was going on, and her hateful gaze fell back on Yang Fuliu.
Qi Yue added: "This is a serious crime that will implicate the entire clan. Since Yang is not answering the questions honestly, I am not interested in listening anymore."
"Go ahead and take your revenge."
Looking at Yang Fuliu again, after hearing Qi Yue's words, the arrogance on her face completely disappeared, leaving only panic and fear.
She burst into tears again, and with one of her dislocated hands hanging down, she frantically tried to crawl to Qi Yue and beg for mercy, but she was held tightly by Leng Yue and could not escape at all.
"Take off her other hand as well."
As the words fell, Leng Yue decisively grabbed the hand and twisted it.
Yang Fuliu let out a scream amidst her wailing.
With a "bang", she fell to the ground and could only use her legs to support her body to crawl.
"Leng Yue, you stay here and don't let this couple hurt Miss Zhang."
"Yes, Princess."
"Just make him half dead but not alive, don't dirty your hands, and then send him to the Dali Temple to confess his crime and sign a warrant."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruirui felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Seeing that she agreed, Qi Yue and the other two left.
As the wooden door was closed again, the light was taken away.
The fear in Yang Fuliu's eyes was infinitely magnified. She lay on the ground and used her face and feet to crawl towards the door.
Leng Yue leaned against the door and looked at the two of them coldly.
Zhang Ruirui looked at her with a wooden face as she slowly crawled away like a worm...
In the end, Yang Fuliu's body was pierced with holes, her mouth was cut, and her tongue was poked, while Su Dayou's tongue was cut off by Leng Yue.
The couple were sent to the Dali Temple like two corpses, and Zhang Ruirui went with them.
After interrogation, it was found that the reason was because Yang learned that her biological daughter Lian Mengyi was exposed by the eldest princess for poisoning the emperor, and she held a grudge against him. She deliberately forced her stepdaughter to take the jade pendant she picked up from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion to get close to the young Marquis Gu in order to assassinate the eldest princess.
In addition, Zhang Ruirui exposed Su Dayou's many evil deeds, such as bullying the people in Yunan County, colluding with the Yunan County magistrate and the head of the Zhang family in Sanhe Village of Yunan County to privately traffic in decent women, taking human lives, and seizing other people's land.
Because no one treated the injuries of Su Dayou and his wife, they died in the prison on the very night they were sentenced.
Because of this incident, the autumn hunt was postponed for two days.
After these matters were reported, people were quickly sent to Yunan County to arrest the people.
Qi Yue knew that Zhang Ruirui wanted to go back and rebury her brother's body, so she arranged for Leng Yue to accompany the imperial envoy back to Yunan County.
With Qi Yue's manipulation of this matter, the rumors about Gu Qingyu having a mistress and secretly getting married to someone else were self-defeating.
Gu Qingyu was happily showing off everywhere in the princess's mansion. Except for Yibai and Linxu, whom he couldn't beat, he didn't show off to them. Any other dog that passed by would be caught and tortured by him for a long time.
This also resulted in Wuming, who was originally the public enemy of the entire backyard, being relegated to the second line.
Soon the day of autumn hunting arrived, and the location was set on Yangxi Mountain, which is next to the city of Kyoto.
In order to make the best use of things and people, and also for the safety of his own imperial sister.
Qi Junqi entrusted the safety of this autumn hunt to Lin Xu and Xie Lao respectively.
The Dali Temple already had a lot of things to do, and with Su Dayou's incident, Xie Yun became even busier, so he had no time to accompany Qi Yue on the autumn hunt.
Shao Siyan, as the deputy judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, went on the autumn hunt, so it was naturally easy for him to be included.
Jiang Lin was a civil official and was busy with girls' studies, so he had no time.
Gu Qingyu and Yi Bai could only honestly ride in their own carriages in public.
This was a good thing for Wuming, as she could serve as Qi Yue's personal maid together with He Xiang.
After riding in the carriage for two hours, Qi Yue also slept for about an hour and a half.
There is a field of maple leaves growing on its own at the foot of Yangxi Mountain. Next to the maple forest there is a shallow stream with a clear trickle, and the scenery is very beautiful.
As soon as Qi Yue woke up and got out of the car, he was attracted by the maple forest. He asked He Xiang to direct people to pack their bags, and then took Wuming to the stream to see the scenery.
Not far from Qi Yue's carriage, a man in blue had been staring at her since she got off the carriage.
Wuming was in a particularly good mood as he could be alone with Qi Yue without being disturbed by other men.
However, it would be better if Qi Yue could move his head just like he moved his daughter.
"Aming, let's go over there a little bit."
Qi Yue had just pointed to the denser maple forest on the right when he suddenly felt his feet slip and was about to fall into the stream.
Fortunately, Wuming reacted very quickly and supported the person in an instant.
Cui Xun, the man in green just now.
Seeing Wuming holding the man, he cursed inwardly, then turned around and whispered with the servant beside him for a while.
After the servant left, Cui Xun hid not far away and stared at the two of them.
After a while, a maid came hurriedly towards Qi Yue and the others.
After the maid bowed and explained the reason, Wuming turned and left, and the maid stayed by Qi Yue's side.
Cui Xun raised the corner of his mouth, straightened his collar, opened his folding fan, and walked slowly towards Qi Yue while reciting poems, thinking he was very romantic.
Qi Yue's attention was completely focused on the scenery, and he didn't notice anyone approaching him.
Seeing this, the maid was very tactful and suddenly saluted the visitor loudly.
"Your servant pays respect to the Prince of Ningyuan County."
Qi Yue frowned and turned to look.
When Cui Xun saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, his heart began to beat violently.
In the past, he thought that even though Qi Yue was the eldest princess, she was still a divorced woman who was not worthy of being in public, and was not at all comparable to those young ladies who were waiting to be married.
In addition, Qi Yue himself didn't like going out or attending any banquets. The only time he attended was the birthday banquet of Xie Wanyi, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Xie, and the news was not revealed until after the banquet was over that day.
