Chapter 71: Marriage

Chunyue walked briskly and came to the next room and whispered, "Prince and Princess, bring the things over!"

An Yunxi took a few pieces of paper, opened one, and couldn't help laughing when she saw the dense small words.

An Yunxi has always known how dirty this circle is. She is also a member of the noblewoman circle.

In her previous life, in order to squeeze in, she worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just to have a good reputation in the circle and not embarrass her husband in the future.

But now, she really thinks that she was too naive at that time.

She only read the useful part, which was about the secrets of Lu Xuan'er.

"Prince, it's very interesting, do you want to read it?"

Ling Fengxun: "Not interested."

It was enough for him to secretly look at her, and he was not in the mood to look at anything else.

"That's a pity. I'll read you one."

Ling Fengxun nodded slightly.

"Okay."

An Yunxi said, "Lu Xuan'er, as the daughter of a minister, was harsh on servants. She once killed five maids for no reason. She had close contacts with the eldest son of the Xiangfu. She secretly met with them and framed them many times. She was extremely vicious."

She turned to the next page. "Lu Xuan'er assisted the Xiangfu's daughter Chu Wanran to kill the Xiangfu's young master and threw his body into the well. She also framed the family's aunt for this, so that the aunt was drowned. She helped Chu Wanran to testify falsely to clear her suspicion. This was something she accidentally revealed after getting drunk at a party." After

reading this, An Yunxi stood up all of a sudden.

She really found it.

In her previous life, she accidentally heard some rumors in the circle of these noble ladies, and someone mentioned this matter.

But because she didn't know who spread it, she couldn't find any witnesses, and there was no evidence, so the matter was eventually left unresolved. But

An Yunxi knew that the person who could hear this news must have a close relationship with Lu Xuan'er and Chu Wanran, and was a sister they thought was trustworthy.

"Chunyue, who wrote this?"

Chunyue walked closer and took a look.

"I know, it's one of them who looks more lovely, with a round face, and seems to be the daughter of Zhou Yushi."

An Yunxi couldn't help but curl her lips: "Zhou Yushi, Zhou Cheng?"

An Yunxi remembered this person very well, he was the court official who had impeached Ling Fengxun before.

What a coincidence.

She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, and she just felt a little funny: "Why is he here to join in the fun when the emperor is granting marriage this time? Isn't it said that the prince is cruel and heartless? Why doesn't he feel sorry for his own daughter? What if she is killed!"

Ling Fengxun sneered: "Maybe he wants to infiltrate the enemy."

Just looking at the evidence listed on these pieces of paper, these women are all the same, and their crimes are too numerous to list.

Beating and killing maids is something that each of them has done. The reason why they wrote it down now must be that they think these are trivial matters. In the eyes of these young ladies from aristocratic families, the lives of some maids and servants are not lives!

Ling Fengxun finally became interested.

"Murder case?"

An Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said, "I couldn't forget your cousin the last time I met you, Prince."

Ling Fengxun glanced at An Yunxi. He knew what this little fox was thinking. He

really holds a grudge.

Seeing Ling Fengxun's look, An Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Why, Prince, are you reluctant to let her go?"

He shook his head slightly, "Not really."

An Yunxi knew that Ling Fengxun lost his mother at a young age, and he felt some sympathy for Chu Wanran who had the same experience.

"If Prince can't bear to do it, I can spare her life."

An Yunxi said tentatively.

Ling Fengxun pursed his thin lips.

He suddenly said, "If she really killed someone, I will personally bring her to justice."

An Yunxi was completely relieved. Chu Wanran must have done more than one bad thing. The insect poison must have been given by her to Aunt Liu and An Ruxue.

Now Aunt Liu and An Ruxue were arrested, and she was still lying in her comfortable big bed. How could that be possible?

She would soon let Chu Wanran accompany them.

A moment later, Miss Zhou was brought over.

She didn't dare to raise her head, and knelt behind the screen as soon as she entered the room.

"Your servant greets the Regent King!"

Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes and glanced at the woman through the screen.

"Is the evidence you wrote about Lu Xuan'er and Chu Wanran true?"

The woman shuddered and quickly replied, "It's true. I just hope that Your Highness can help me keep it a secret and not let it spread. Otherwise, I will be retaliated by them!"

An Yunxi suddenly said, "Your Highness will investigate this matter. Can you tell me more details about it?"

Miss Zhou was stunned, bit her lip, and bravely told all the rumors she had heard.

"That's all I know."

Ling Fengyan said, "You stay."

After all, this matter still needs a witness in the end, and Miss Zhou is just the right person.

Miss Zhou was overjoyed, her eyes full of joy.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will serve you well in the future."

A sneer flashed across An Yunxi's eyes.

She actually fantasized about climbing into bed in the future.

Miss Zhou came out of the room, and she couldn't hide the smugness on her face.

She was taken back to the waiting room by Chunyue, and the other three immediately went to greet her when they saw her coming back.

"Zhou Lianlian, did you see the prince?"

Zhou Lianlian raised her chin: "Of course I did, and the prince said he wanted to keep me."

The eyes of the other three people looking at Zhou Lianlian changed instantly.

Chunyue stood at the door and said, "After reading what you wrote, the prince thought that the other three girls were not of good character and could not continue to stay in the palace. If you are not convinced, the prince said that all the information on the paper can be announced to the world and let others judge."

Except for Zhou Lianlian who was still proud, the faces of the other three girls changed suddenly.

They didn't dare.

Because they all knew what they wrote.

Lu Xuan'er knew that she was not selected and could not stay in the palace, and her eyes were red with anger.

"It must be you, you wrote bad things about the three of us, Zhou Lianlian!"

The next moment, she rushed up first and grabbed Zhou Lianlian's bun.

The other two girls also had nowhere to vent their anger, and they all rushed over.

Zhou Lianlian was no pushover either. The few people here were not easy to deal with, and they started fighting in the blink of an eye.

When Chunyue saw this, she immediately asked the maids she brought with her to step back. She

was also very kind to close the door.

She said, "Don't disturb the prince and princess."

Screams, quarrels, and fighting could not stop in the room.

An Yunxi put away the four pieces of evidence, which were handles that others had brought to her.

"Prince, next, let's go and deal with the remaining people."

In the palace.

Emperor Beiling had just taken the medicine, and his complexion was much rosier than usual.

He was idle, holding a book and reading it, with the corners of his mouth raised, looking forward to someone reporting the good show from Prince Xian's Mansion.

The Prince of Xian's mansion must be very lively today.

Eunuch Wu walked in from outside with very quick steps.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Prince of Xian's mansion."

The emperor sat up straight with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Tell me, is Prince of Xian angry?"

Eunuch Wu summoned up his courage and said, "No, he paired up all the beauties you sent to him and said that it was your order. He personally issued an edict to arrange marriages for the young men and women of the capital who are of the right age."
