The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

"This token is real." The man said.

The official clerk hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, it's a humble job. Since the second son said it's true, then it can't be wrong."

The man didn't even look at him, just looked at Song Jingchen and asked, "I don't know where this token brother came from?"

Song Jingchen glanced at the position of the man's cuff, and said indifferently: "The coincidence did King Jing'an a favor, and when he learned that we were coming to Xuanyuan Kingdom, he gave me the token as a thank you gift."

The man asked again, "Are you from Daxia?"

Xuanyuance's envoy to Da Xia was known to everyone in Xuanyuan, so it was no wonder he had such a guess.

Song Jingchen: "That's right."

The man nodded, and then looked at the official. The latter immediately understood, and summoned someone to go through the formalities for Shen Yijia and his party, and then handed over the passage in Xuanyuan Country to Nanfeng.

"Thank you." Song Jingchen bowed his hands to the man on the horse.

After taking back their token, the group got back on the carriage.

Looking at the person who left without looking back, the attendant beside the man said, "Second Master, that token..."

A single word is engraved on the back of the token, which is like seeing a person.

To put it bluntly, with that token, you can even mobilize any forces under King Jing'an.

What kind of busyness is it that it is worth the prince to send such a precious thing out.

The man raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said softly, "Let's go."

When the second master left with the people, the chief officer was relieved.

One person leaned over and whispered: "Head, what to do now, it's hard for the Yu family to explain."

The chief officer kicked him angrily: "Second Young Master has spoken, what can I do?"

He thought about it for a while, and said with a painful expression: "Send them back what the Yu family sent."

While the two were talking, a gust of wind blew past them.

The chief officer put his hands into his cuffs and spat: "What the hell is this weather, it's already February and it's still so cold, it's fucking bad luck."

...

After passing the checkpoint, it was considered that they truly set foot on the territory of Xuanyuan Kingdom. By the time Shen Yijia and his party arrived at Phoenix Town, it was already dusk.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn. Thirty-thousand came to Xiao Er to hand over the horse to them to feed, and went to the lobby to ask for three more guest rooms.

After rushing the road for two months, except for Shen Yijia, who was alive and kicking as soon as the carriage, everyone was exhausted.

After returning to their rooms to wash up and put on clean clothes, they gathered in Song Jingchen's room for dinner.

The dishes of Xuanyuan Country are different from those of Daxia. Perhaps because of the coastal area, most of them are light, fresh, salty and sweet.

For Shen Yijia, who likes sweetness, it's not too friendly.

After a few people finished their meal, they went back to their rooms.

As the night fell, You Yi, who was like an invisible man along the way, suddenly appeared holding a box.

"What is this?" Song Jingchen asked.

You Yisui repeated the conversation between the two officials.

Shen Yijia ran over to open the box on the table, and was almost blinded by the contents inside.

I saw two fist-sized luminous pearls inside, and under the luminous pearl, there was a stack of silver bills, and after a rough count, there were tens of thousands.

There is no cross-border bank in the Three Kingdoms, but currencies such as gold and silver are common, and the price of Xuanyuan Kingdom is higher than that of Daxia.

An inn like the one they stayed in today would not exceed two hundred cents a night in the summer, but here, three rooms cost them two taels of silver.

Shen Yijia had the foresight to bring his own small treasury, otherwise they would have to send Nanfeng and 30,000 to work and make money.

Now this is another windfall?

No, this is the money someone else bought her and the beauty's life. The life is theirs, so the money should also be theirs.

Shen Yijia touched the Pearl of the Night, and then touched the silver note, her teeth missing from her smile.

Song Jingchen supported her forehead, knowing that someone else was going to hurt her and still being so happy, it was estimated that this girl was the only one.

Of course, Shen Yijia didn't forget her business. She hid the box under the bed and asked with a small face, "Who is this Yu? It's the first time Mr. Xiang came to Xuanyuan, so he shouldn't have anything to do with them, right?"

In Shen Yijia's view, whether it is the original owner or she, there can be no other enemies in this world besides the Shen family, so the Yu family must have come for Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, Princess Jing'an's surname is Yu."

You nodded: "When the late emperor was in power, he used the family very much. Among them, there were six families. This Yu family ranked fifth among the six major families at that time."

"Then what?" Shen Yijia asked.

Since it was said then, is it not now?

Youyi: "Back then, the late emperor suddenly disappeared, leaving only the monarch who just reached the crown and my prince.

The monarch is older, and it is logical to ascend the throne. But at that time, the noble family was too high-profile by the late emperor, and their ambitions were already great, and they wanted to take the monarch and make him a puppet..."

How embarrassed is the monarch who first ascended the throne?

It's enough that you can't intervene in the affairs of the government. Even a woman who enters the harem has to be nodded by several noble families. What's more, which concubines and concubines the monarch called every night was clearly arranged.

In this way, if officials want their daughters to enter the palace, they have to please the aristocratic family. If you want your daughter to get the chance to serve in the bed, you still have to please the family.

The power of the aristocratic family is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be said that the past few years have been calling for wind and rain in Xuanyuan.

However, they are not satisfied with this, thinking that when the monarch is an adult, if one day he has his own wings, he will definitely fight back.

He began to think that as long as a concubine in the harem gave birth to a dragon heir, he would support the youngest son to ascend the throne and remove the monarch and prince.

But the monarch is not an incompetent person. On the surface, he obeys the arrangements of the aristocratic family, but secretly he has been planning.

Knowing that they had the idea of ​​supporting their youngest son to ascend the throne, he no longer resisted the women in the harem.

As a result, five concubines in the harem were diagnosed with the hi pulse at the same time.

Except for the queen from the Tang family, the largest family, the five pregnant concubines happened to be from the other five families.

Not to mention that the Tang family is not happy, the other five families are also not happy. After all, there is only one throne. Since the girl in the family is also pregnant, why can't the next monarch come from his own family?

This move by the monarch can be said to be not poisonous. As soon as he made a move, the six great families who were originally twisted into a rope and wanted to harm the two brothers at any time had a quarrel.

But this step is not enough, I am afraid that the family will react at some time, and the monarch immediately did another almost cruel thing...

He sent spears and spears to kill one of the pregnant concubines.

Several big families are completely fried.

The one who lost the chips was suspicious of the others, and the others worried that the next victim would be their own girl.

Even the Tang family did not escape suspicion. Who knows if the Tang family was jealous because their girl was not pregnant with Long Sixin?

But no matter how they checked, they couldn't find any clues...

This is actually the monarch's cleverness. If he deliberately leads them to find one or several families, it will cause suspicion.

As long as he does it cleanly and leaves no evidence, the noble family will not doubt him.

Without him, the aristocratic family is always conceited. In their eyes, he is a puppet who is only responsible for continuing the incense, and has no ability to do this.

And those who can do it without leaving any handle, except for their families, don't do what he thinks.

The aristocratic family stepped into the trap set by the monarch step by step, and began to fight infighting as he imagined.

First, the pregnant concubines slipped one after another, and even those who were pregnant later could not escape this fate.

After a few years of fighting, in the end, only Cui and the girls from the Pei family successfully gave birth to a dragon heir.

At that time, the aristocratic families were already at odds with each other, and it was impossible to continue the previous plan. Not to mention, each aristocratic family had each other's handle to some extent. In order to combat the opponent's forces, they even began to let the monarch touch the government a little bit.

But the monarch also knows that this is not a safe way.

It is said that a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse. If he really spends time with the noble family like this, let alone he won't live that long, I'm afraid his descendants will follow his old path one after another.

And the court is like this, how can the life of the people be better?

He needs a breakthrough.

And this breakthrough was in Xuanyuan Ce.

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows, no wonder Xuanyuan Kingdom was able to leave Daxia and Wu Kingdom far behind in just a few years.

With such a wise, decisive and considerate ruler, why should the country not be prosperous?

"It's well known that the youngest girl in the Yu family's direct line loves my prince..." Speaking of which, the face under You Yi's mask became a bit complicated, he glanced at Shen Yijia before continuing: "Before, my prince was arrested because He was rescued by a private woman, and the two have long been in love with each other. When they heard the monarch's plan, they would naturally refuse, but the monarch and the queen mother both knelt down and begged him..."

The monarch has endured humiliation for many years just to save the lives of the two brothers, how can the lord really sit back and watch?

Shen Yijia didn't expect to hear Uncle Beauty's relationship history. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt dull and uncomfortable, she pinched her fingers and asked, "Then, Uncle Beauty broke up with the woman and turned around and married the surname Yu. of?"

After asking Shen Yijia, she immediately realized how stupid her question was. At the beginning, the beauty husband said that Princess Jing'an was from the Yu family.

What she really wanted to ask was what happened to the folk woman.

Song Jingchen didn't miss You You's glance at Shen Yijia, he frowned and held Shen Yijia's hand.

His hands were warm, and he dispelled Shen Yijia's inexplicable emotions. She turned around and grinned at Song Jingchen: "It's better for you, Xiang Gong."

Yuichi: Hey, hey, is he still okay?

"My lord had no choice at the time, and the girl's temperament..."

He glanced at Shen Yijia again: "It's a bit like Miss."

Shen Yijia has a meal, what does it have to do with her?

But if she knew that someone dared to persecute Song Jingchen and bully his family like this, she would secretly slap them all.

But the aristocratic family has long been deeply rooted, and the power is complicated in the wrong, how can it be solved by killing one or two family heads?

"In short, it's more naive." You Yi touched his nose, touched a cold mask, and retracted his hand embarrassingly.

"Because of this reason, my lord didn't dare to tell her the truth. The most important thing is... at that time, he could not protect himself, and how could he have the ability to protect others. He was worried that the Yu family would be disadvantageous to that girl, so... he said it. Some cruel words... and obeyed the monarch's arrangement to marry Miss Yu."

The only younger brother of the monarch took the initiative to ask to marry his own girl. In the eyes of the Yu family, he was throwing an olive branch on them, so he became the first family to join the monarch.

Once there will be two, seeing the monarch use the Yu family so much. The Cui and Pei families were not to be outdone.

In their opinion at that time, rather than let their grandson be a puppet and be controlled by other families, it is better to let him be a legitimate monarch...

By the time the aristocratic family really reacted, it was too late. In the next five years, the monarch first used the three major families who had come over to eliminate the remaining three, and then bit by bit nibbled away the power of the remaining three.

Although the monarch did not kill all these three families in the end, it is impossible for these three families to set off any storms.

Moreover, the monarch let them continue to exist, not because of the friendship at the beginning, but because he wanted to use them to balance the court.

After all, he didn't want the poor family he promoted to become a second aristocratic family.

"Tsk, he's really not a good person. Not only did he take advantage of that girl, but he also took advantage of another girl."

Shen Yijia was too lazy to analyze the twists and turns in the court of Xuanyuan Kingdom, so he just understood Xuanyuan Ce's emotional history.

Yuichi: The woman who was used in your mouth is most likely the one who bought the official messenger today!

However, he said so much today that the ultimate purpose is to clarify for the prince, not to discredit.

He said sternly: "Before my lord asked to marry Miss Yu, he told her that he would only give her the position of a princess, and it was Miss Yu who nodded."

He has followed Xuanyuan Ce since the first emperor left, and he naturally knows more than the latecomer Chu Feng.

"It's not that I have Xuanyuan Ye with others." Shen Yijia said with disgust.

She didn't know why she was angry, she was angry anyway!

Youyi froze, and said: "This subordinate can't explain clearly, the prince will explain it to you later."

"What does it have to do with me? If he wants to explain it, he will explain it to the girl who has been blamed by him." Shen Yijia puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Are you from me or from King Jing'an, if it's his you? Go to him now, I don't want you anymore."

She looks like a ruthless heartbreaker, she was the one who asked first.

You Yi was very aggrieved, and in order not to be known by Xuanyuan Ce and lost his life after the fall, he decided to hold Shen Yijia's thigh firmly.

"Subordinate is..."

Song Jingchen suddenly said, "Do you know the man today?"

Yuichi: Can you let him finish his heartfelt words? Or at least give him a drink!

When he met Song Jingchen's gaze, he had to answer obediently, "It's the second highness, and the second highness's mother's family is the Pei family."

Song Jingchen nodded, as he guessed.

"No, why did the Yu family target us after talking so much?" Shen Yijia finally remembered the original intention of this conversation.

"Perhaps they are not targeting us, but the person holding this token except King Jing'an himself." Song Jingchen guessed by placing Xuanyuance's token on the table.

Before seeing Xuanyuan Ce's token, the official had no obvious hostility.
