Chapter 29 The Untold Story of the Previous Generation



One is a set of emerald green jadeite headdress, with tiny green butterflies that look just like real ones.

The other set is a pure purple headdress.

"The Ministry of Industry said that this kind of purple gemstone is very rare. They have already had someone wear the damaged piece, and it is not harmful to the body."

Ah-hao relayed the Ministry of Works' original words.

Murong Yue's mother, Lan Yun, was also an extraordinary woman. She didn't love any precious jade or jewelry, except for three things: gold, pearls, and crystal gemstones.

She believes that the value of jade and the like is given by people and is worthless in itself.

Murong Gan, on the other hand, doted on his wife.

He gave Lan Yun many pearls and crystal gems.

"This set of crystals arrived at the Ministry of Works many years ago, but we never had suitable blueprints until now, when it has finally been made."

Ah Hao will give a brief introduction.

For some reason, a brief image suddenly flashed through Murong Yue's limited mind.

A very gentle woman, wearing a simple blue dress, with long, black hair and no makeup.

Holding a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, he waved it back and forth in front of Murong Yue.

"Moon...moon..."

Murong Yue tilted her head, trying her best to think more, but she still couldn't remember anything.

never mind.

"This is it."

She pointed to the purple crystal gemstone headdress.

"Your Majesty has excellent taste."

Murong Yue was already very beautiful, and as a girl raised in the royal family, she was even more stunning.

Once the purple gemstone headdress was put on, the person appeared even more majestic and ethereal, with an unparalleled aura, all bathed in the radiance of the gemstone.

She now understood what the palace banquet meant.

It's a group of people sitting together eating.

Moreover, unlike that court assembly, there's no need for her permission to beat people or not. The palace banquet only has one thing: eating!

Dress up nicely and go eat something delicious.

Murong Yue was in an extremely good mood.

Just as he was about to leave, a palace servant came to report that Qi Yuan and Li Xuanji were requesting an audience.

Murong Yue simply said, "I'm not seeing you. I'm going to eat something delicious."

But as the words were about to come out, he remembered that there must be news about that nasty poison.

"Fine, let them in."

"yes."

Although there wasn't much time left before the palace banquet started, it didn't matter; if His Majesty wasn't there, they would just wait.

Ah Hao went out and invited the person in.

Li Xuanji looked at the emperor in his finery with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

After bowing, Qi Yuan looked at Ahao.

Ah Hao glared at him fiercely.

Qi Yuan: ...

"Your Majesty, we did indeed find chestnuts from the Yun Kingdom in that shop."

“This subordinate has failed in his duties and has already ordered a thorough search of all areas entering and leaving the city gates.”

"The people in the shop have all been taken back to the prison for questioning, but... the owner listed on the shop's land deed is a family member of Minister Zhang Yuqing of the Ministry of Personnel."

Qi Yuan succinctly reported the results to His Majesty.

As for the process, His Majesty can ask him if he wants to know; most of the time, His Majesty is only interested in the result.

Sure enough, after searching her mind, Murong Yue could barely recall who Zhang Yuqing was.

The person in charge of finding someone to take over the Suizhou base.

Murong Yue slowly asked, "Whose family is Zhang Yuqing?"

Qi Yuan immediately replied, "Zhang Yuqing's wife."

What and what?

Adding a qualifier made Murong Yue a little confused.

They're just Zhang Yuqing's family.

However, she had experienced this tactic before. When she first became a zombie, other zombies would do bad things and then blame it on her.

This made her even more alienated from that group of idiots.

So whenever something bad happens, her first thought is to wonder if she's been framed.

Or is someone else being framed?

When in doubt, learn to pass the buck.

Murong Yue tapped the table. "What do you all think?"

Li Xuanji stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, others might be possible, but Zhang Yuqing’s wife is absolutely not.”

Murong Yue understood what he meant.

Intrigued, he tilted his head and slowly posed the probing question, "Why?"

Well.

Li Xuanji paused for a moment.

How should I put it?

It involves a secret that was known to very few people, and it had been kept hidden for thirty years.

But if they don't speak out now, Zhang Yuqing and his wife might be branded as guilty of poisoning millet.

With His Majesty's permission, Li Xuanji waved his hand, leaving only four people in the hall.

Murong Yue, Li Xuanji, Qi Yuan, and Ahao.

Ah Hao was about to leave when Murong Yue grabbed her.

There's nothing I can do. Ah-Hao isn't here. What if she can't understand?

"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely confidential. Please just be aware of it and do not dwell on the past."

"Lord Qi and Miss Ahao must also keep this matter a secret."

The two readily agreed.

Li Xuanji then took the opportunity to recount this past event.

"During the struggle for the throne, the former eighth prince forged an imperial edict in order to deceive the northern army. This is a capital offense."

"At that time, the late emperor's health was deteriorating and he was most averse to such things, so he immediately ordered the death of the first eight princes."

"Her mother's family, the Ruan Feifei family, were also exiled to the frontier."

“Consort Ruan also had a princess who was only sixteen years old at the time. She had a good relationship with the Emperor Emeritus and met Zhang Yuqing, who was still a county magistrate, during her exile.”

"Zhang Yuqing fell in love with the princess at first sight, but unfortunately she was a serious criminal of the court."

"The retired emperor somehow found out about this matter. After the late emperor passed away, the retired emperor could not overturn the late emperor's decree, so he found a way to change the princess's appearance and bring her back to the capital, where she became Lord Zhang Yuqing's wife."
