Chapter 29: The Princess's Courage Refreshes the South Expedition's Perception
Yun Qingqing paused and turned to look at Nanzheng.
"Who's in there?"
It was new that there were ministers in the court who dared to challenge Xiao Changheng face to face.
By the way, what does it mean that a demon concubine brings disaster to the country?
Nan Zheng's expression is hard to describe:
"Yes... Duke Ming."
"oh……"
Then she would not be surprised. Duke Ming was a veteran of three dynasties, highly respected and hated evil. It would not be surprising if he challenged her.
So the question is what is the truth behind the saying about the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country?
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment and looked at Nanzheng:
"Is there any way for me to quietly take a look inside?"
Nan Zheng shook his head like a rattle:
"Princess, why are you looking at these? You have nothing to worry about with the prince. He won't let anyone bully you."
Yun Qingqing looked serious:
"I'm worried about your prince! I calculated that he might be in danger of a bloody disaster, but I'm not sure. I have to see him in person to be sure."
Nan Zheng was startled and immediately led her around to the back hall, where he could see what was happening inside through the screen.
Inside, the old Duke was still denouncing the "evil concubine":
"Ever since Yun Qingqing jumped into the river to force a marriage, her personality has changed drastically since she climbed out of the water. Everyone present that day saw it!"
"These days, she has been using the title of Regent Princess to oppress the people and commit crimes to make money! Every single thing is clearly recorded in the Book of All Peoples!"
Yun Qingqing listened to the old Duke recounting her "evil deeds", ranging from eating a free meal and not paying for it and then beating someone up, to embezzling disaster relief funds in the name of the Regent, and even using evil magic to curse the royal family in private.
Yun Qingqing was amazed when she heard what she heard, and then she saw Nan Zheng looking at her with an indescribable expression. His eyes clearly said, "Princess, have you really done so many bad things?"
She rolled her eyes, turned around and looked at Duke Ming again, squinted her eyes and counted with her fingers, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and walked out directly from behind the screen.
Nan Zheng was shocked, but it was too late to stop him, so he had to bite the bullet and follow him out.
In addition to Xiao Changheng and Duke Ming, there were several important officials in the court in the room.
In fact, after listening for a while, Yun Qingqing had roughly understood that this incident was instigated by these court officials, but they were afraid of the deterrent power of the regent, so they specially invited Duke Ming to take the lead.
No one expected that a woman would suddenly walk out from behind the screen. When they looked at her face carefully, their expressions turned ugly.
Isn’t this the ugly monster in the rumors who bewitched the Regent’s concubine Yun Qingqing?
Yun Qingqing walked up to Xiao Changheng and smiled calmly:
"My Lord, excuse me, I have something important to say."
Others didn't dare to speak casually, but the old Duke was not afraid. He immediately started to speak:
"This witch is so blatantly interfering in the affairs of the court officials!"
"You are not only the regent, but also the god of war in the hearts of the people of Daliang, and the pillar of the country! If you insist on marrying this witch, where will your country be placed? Have you ever thought about it?"
Xiao Changheng was about to speak with a sullen face, but Yun Qingqing held his shoulder and spoke first.
She looked at Duke Ming calmly:
"Your ancestral tomb exploded."
These few words were like thunder, leaving several court officials stunned and gasping for breath.
How dare Yun Qingqing do this! She is indeed a witch, cursing the Duke with such vicious words!
Nan Zheng was almost shocked.
Why was it that every time he thought he had seen how courageous the princess was, she always did something even more courageous?
Everyone else was like this, not to mention the old Duke. He almost choked and pointed at Yun Qingqing's nose, unable to speak.
Several court officials were startled and rushed over to calm him down. They glared at Yun Qingqing:
"How can you be so vicious, you witch!"
"Prince Regent, you have seen it too. This is the true face of the witch!"
"This kind of witch must not marry into the royal family. You must punish her severely!"
Xiao Changheng frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Yun Qingqing knew that he was waiting for her to give an explanation, so she didn't waste any words and looked directly at Duke Ming and said:
"The Duke's Mansion has been in trouble recently, right? Your three sons have either met with bloody disasters or suffered setbacks in their careers, and your grandchildren have also been sick or injured repeatedly."
As Duke Ming listened to her words, his originally angry face gradually turned into surprise, and he was a little stunned.
Yun Qingqing continued:
"Not only that, the person who was supposed to be added to your family has also died due to a recent accident."
The old Duke, who was over 70 years old, was shocked:
"you……"
"I know this not because I have any magic, but because I cultivate the Great Dao." Yun Qingqing said seriously, "I did not do anything in your so-called petition of the people, but I can solve the problems in your family."
"Old Duke is highly respected by the people. You should know that seeing is believing. Whether I am a demon concubine or not, and whether I am right or wrong, should I make a conclusion after verification?"
"..." Duke Ming looked at her in silence.
Although the woman in front of him was ugly, her eyes were clear and bright. She looked at him calmly and confidently, without any of the legendary seductiveness.
After a long while, he took a deep breath:
"How are you going to solve it?"
Yun Qingqing was straightforward:
"I just said that the problem lies with your family's ancestral grave. I need to go to the scene to see it before I know what to do."
…
An hour later, Duke Ming brought Xiao Changheng and Yun Qingqing to the outskirts of Beijing, accompanied by his three sons and some family members.
Faced with such a bizarre incident, several other court officials inevitably wanted to join in the fun, but they were all sent away by a certain evil prince with just a wave of his hand.
After they walked for a while in the mountains, Yun Qingqing suddenly pointed in a direction:
"That's it, right?"
The Ming family was stunned for a moment, and after careful analysis, they nodded in surprise:
"That's right. The terrain of this mountain is complicated. Every time we come here, we have to carefully distinguish the marks we made before, and we often get lost. I didn't expect you to be able to tell the location right away."
Duke Ming did not say anything, but in his heart he already trusted her a little more.
As for what happened at home before, it is possible that she had inquired about it in advance, but the location of the ancestral tomb was difficult even for his own family to find, but this girl could tell the location at a glance, which was definitely not something she could do by just scouting the place in advance.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"This mountain is a Feng Shui treasure land. As long as the location is chosen properly, it can ensure that future generations will be rich and prosperous. However, it is full of evil spirits, which is definitely not a normal phenomenon for this kind of terrain."
"Combined with the situation I calculated before, it is obvious that the place with the problem is the Ming family's ancestral tomb."
Her words made everyone in the Ming family look solemn, especially Duke Ming, who became more and more uneasy.
What did she mean by the ancestral tomb exploding?
Soon, the group arrived in front of the Ming family's ancestral tomb. Everyone saw the situation in front of them and became nervous:
“What the hell is going on!?”
"Really...exploded???"
