Chapter 479 Rewards, give them all to me!
Qiao Wanyan remembered that when He Yanli was born, the emperor gave him a golden medal that exempted him from death.
There are no names, no official positions, no detailed information on achievements or the number of times a death sentence has been spared.
Just this once, no matter how big a mistake you make, you can be spared death.
It was precisely because of this golden medal of immunity from death that the world saw the emperor's preference for Concubine Hui and the Ninth Prince.
But now, after listening to her father's words, she felt that this golden medal of immunity from death did not contain any information, and that it could be abused by the emperor if he took advantage of a loophole. It could be given to others to use, in case he could not get rid of his son at a critical moment one day.
But now, He Yanli gave himself this only chance to escape death?
He had never used Concubine Hui's mother's family.
The guard said, "My prince sent someone to send back this news as fast as he could. Don't worry, Miss, it's true. A wristband and a gold medal for immunity from death."
Qiao Wanyan asked, "Did King Jing tell me why he gave me such a precious gift?"
The guard shook his head, "We dare not ask any questions about the prince's affairs. This bracelet is not an ordinary ornament, but a hidden weapon made by a skilled craftsman. Miss, please take a look."
The guard put the bracelet on his hand, but his wrist was a little too thick to put it on. He smiled awkwardly and pressed the Northern Territory ruby on it.
In an instant, a silver needle shot out from inside.
The force was so great that a silver needle was embedded directly into the wooden stake without a trace being revealed.
"This silver needle is soaked in poison. There is an antidote, but the poison will kill you. Even if you have the antidote in your hand, you won't have time to take it. You need to use force to switch it and push the dark pattern on the top to avoid accidents."
"Because the workmanship is so difficult, there are only ten silver needles in this bracelet."
Qiao Wanyan took the wristband handed to her by the guard and looked at it carefully.
From the outside, you can't imagine that this is a hidden weapon. The design is very exquisite and very in line with my aesthetic preferences. Whether it is the material or the appearance, it is incredibly beautiful.
"There are ten in total, so you just wasted one for me?"
The guard blinked and froze.
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "You used one of these precious things after showing me how to use it? Can't you just tell me how to use it without pressing it?"
Guard: “…”
The guard knelt on one knee and said, "I was reckless. Please forgive me, Miss."
Qiao Wanyan retracted her gaze and said, "Forget it. It's not easy for you to come here. I have received the things. You can go back first."
The guard stood up and said, "Yes."
After they left, Qiao Wanyan looked at the golden medal of immunity from death on the table and felt a little worried.
Why did he suddenly give me this? If it was just a gift of a death-free gold medal, I could probably imagine it as a simple birthday gift.
But when she received this bracelet together with the other, she felt a little uneasy.
The next morning, Qiao Wanyan got up lazily, dressed herself up, and opened the door. The maids serving in Yongning Pavilion were all kneeling in the yard, and when they saw her come out, they spoke in unison.
"Your servant greets Princess Duanhua. May the Princess be blessed!"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything, she just stood at the door and looked at everyone with a beautiful smile on her face, as if she was very satisfied and happy with these people's behavior.
Princess Duanhua, what a nice name.
"Everyone, get up. Everyone will receive half a year's monthly salary."
Everyone immediately kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."
Qiao Wanyan smiled without saying anything. The rewards of these people combined were not as valuable as the pair of earrings on her ears, but giving them the rewards would make them grateful to her.
Censorate
Shen Lingyi has been feeling uneasy ever since she was arrested, but she remembered that her brother had said that as long as she did what he taught her, everything would be fine in the end.
Now he looked at the person who was interrogating him and spoke slowly after calming down.
"My grandfather made me do that."
When the Censor heard this, he glanced at the clerk and saw the clerk immediately pick up his pen and start writing.
"Who did your grandfather ask you to kill? Was the target Lu Gousheng or Qiao Yihuan?"
Shen Lingyi said timidly, "It was Qiao Yihuan. I don't know why my grandfather asked me to do this, but he said that if I didn't get close to Qiao Yihuan and didn't find an opportunity to do it, he would send me back to my hometown. I didn't want to go back to my hometown and didn't want to be an abandoned child, so I...so I did what my grandfather taught me."
My brother said that if she put the blame on my grandfather, no one would find evidence to prove that she was lying. My grandfather had been an official for decades and the emperor would not execute him for such a thing.
After weighing his merits and demerits, the worst that could happen was that my grandfather would retire and return home.
Now that my grandfather has left the capital, my brother will have the final say in the Shen family, and I will never be bullied again.
After all, I was forced by my grandfather innocently, so nothing will happen to me.
The news in the Censorate was kept secret, and Shen Chunlai had no idea what was going on inside, or what Shen Lingyi was talking about.
He was in the Shen Mansion, feeling restless.
"Haven't you found that rebellious son yet?!"
Chen Xi'an said, "Father, I don't know where Zishan went. I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked. I heard from the servants that he went with Lingyi, but he didn't follow Lingyi into the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Chen Chunlai was furious, and he swept the teacup on the table to the ground, "Useless thing! You don't know how to be a son, and you don't know how to be a father. You are always confused by your wife and don't know what to do. How could I have such a useless son like you?!"
Shen Xi'an lowered his eyebrows and said, "Father, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong."
Chen Chunlai was even more furious. "Get lost, get lost. I get angry when I see you. You can't help me but you're still annoying me. If you can't find your son, you don't have to come back!"
Shen Xi'an muttered softly, "What can I do if people can't find me?"
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing. I'll go find it right away." He said and left quickly.
Chen Chunlai took a deep breath to calm himself down, but it was no use. Thinking of his stupid son made him even more angry. Such a useless son and a grandson who went against him was not as good as the sensible daughter of that old thief Qiao Rushi!
Chen Chunlai suddenly sat down with his hands covering his chest and grimacing, he was so angry that his heart ached.
The steward came in and immediately stepped forward, "Master, are you okay? I'll go get the doctor right away."
"No need!" Chen Chunlai called him, "Go and ask that person to do something for me."
"Master, you say."
Shen Chunlai whispered, "Qiao Rushi sent the evidence to the Censorate. I will not get away with it this time. Shen Lingyi, that little bitch, may say nonsense to save her life. The most important thing right now is to drag Qiao Rushi into this."
The steward leaned forward and Shen Chunlai whispered in his ear.
"Go ahead."
