Chapter 43 The Boss
This time, Yu Xiao came back very quickly. When he came back, he had a box in his hand, and the Jiufeng jade hairpin that Xu Jinyan needed was lying inside.
Yu Xiao's expression was very strange, he frowned and said, "You..."
For the sake of his own life safety, Yuxiao swallowed the words "Are you my sister-in-law?" back to her stomach.
Then he said, "Is this what you want?"
Xu Jinyan glanced at the box and saw a hairpin with nine phoenix tails in the center of the box. Even though she had never seen it before, she could know that this was the Nine Phoenix Jade Hairpin. Although it was a fake, it was still exquisite.
Her hand paused slightly, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
Xu Jinyan's eyes lingered on the Nine-Phoenix Jade Hairpin. This hairpin made considerable contributions to Zhao Fei's journey to seize the throne in his previous life. The prince and King Kang both had fallen on this hairpin.
In the previous life, the prince had a favorite concubine named Sun Huier. Sun Huier was born as beautiful as a flower and played the pipa very well with one hand. The prince met her when she was in Jiangzhou. She was shocked at the sight and quietly took her back to the prince's mansion. She once favored her for a special room.
But Sun Huier's background is not simple. She is the daughter of Privy Councilor Liu Qi. She has lived with her mother in Jiangzhou since she was a child. As for her mother, her background is even more difficult.
Sun Huier's mother was the great-granddaughter of King Huan, one of the five kings of the "Five Kings Rebellion" back then. In terms of generations, Sun Huier and the prince were still cousins.
After the "Five Kings Rebellion" that year, the court cleaned up the power of the Five Kings, and all the families of the Five Kings were implicated, and only King Huan's second son risked his life to escape.
After King Huan's second son escaped, he disappeared and lived a life as an ordinary person. His life was extremely difficult. His son was weak and sick. He passed away shortly after he got married, leaving only one daughter.
This only daughter is Sun Huier's mother. Sun Huier's mother and Privy Councilor Liu Qi knew Yu Wei. At that time, Liu Qi had not had the imperial examination yet. They became relatives and gave birth to Sun Huier. But the good times did not last long. Liu Qi went to Beijing to take the exam, and he never came back after he went there.
Liu Qi was the second best, and was praised by the prime minister at that time. He became the son-in-law of the prime minister's mansion, and threw the wife of Jiangzhou into the sky.
Perhaps it was because of the evil fate that the prince happened to fall in love with Liu Qi's daughter, Sun Huier, descendant of King Huan, in Jiangzhou.
However, for some reason, Zhang Zheng knew about this matter. Zhang Zheng revealed that Sun Huier was the descendant of King Huan. As for the evidence, it was the forged Nine-Phoenix Jade Hairpin.
The Nine Phoenix Jade Hairpin is the relic of the founding empress, and was also lost during the "Five Kings Rebellion". If you turn this matter a little, saying that the hairpin fell into the hands of King Huan and was then taken away by King Huan's second son escaped, it is a good evidence to prove Sun Huier's identity. Emperor Qingyu has always been suspicious, and the prince and former descendants of the rebel party are unclear, so how can Emperor Qingyu not be suspicious of the prince. It would be even more unfair to contact King Kang with this matter. The prince and Sun Huier met in the residence of the governor of Jiangzhou. At that time, Sun Huier was one of the singers invited by the governor of Jiangzhou to play the pipa, and the governor of Jiangzhou was the elder brother of Princess Kang. Although the governor of Jiangzhou and King Kang did not know the whole story of Sun Huier, Prince Kang had always been as powerful as water and fire. These two things combined together really aroused imagination.
In his previous life, Zhang Zheng also seized this opportunity and sent someone to say "inadvertently" in front of His Majesty, which fueled the fire. Emperor Qingyu was suspicious by nature, so King Kang innocently took the blame for deliberately letting the prince and Sun Huier meet, causing the prince to commit the crime of being entangled with the rebel party. After this, Sun Huier could not escape death, and the Privy Councilor was also dismissed. Not long after, the governor of Jiangzhou was also moved to the left. Although the prince and King Kang were fine, their power was greatly reduced, especially King Kang. At this time of his previous life, the British Duke's Mansion had fallen, and then the governor of Jiangzhou was demoted, and almost most of King Kang's power was exhausted.
Since then, the prince was suspected by Emperor Qingyu whether he had the ability to control the world. Then those who made up for the vacancies of the governor of Jiangzhou and the Privy Councilor were Zhao Fei's people. A few days ago, Xu Jinyan designed to save the Prince Zhang Qing's Mansion and the Duke of England's Mansion, which was equivalent to destroying half of the road to the throne of Zhao Fei in his previous life. She was always a little worried, because a person like Zhang Zheng would definitely not give up. As for Zhao Fei, he would definitely put pressure on Zhang Zheng, so no matter what, Zhang Zheng would definitely take action in the near future.
And the birthday of Your Majesty tomorrow is the best time, because on such a day, the whole country will celebrate, and high-ranking officials and nobles will gather together. Once something happens, there is no possibility of concealing it.
On this day of his previous life, the British Duke's Mansion was wrongly conspired and killed. Although Xu Jinyan got rid of this crisis for the British Duke's Mansion in this life, Xu Jinyan speculated that Zhang Zheng would not let the birthday of Emperor Qingyu.
She had several memories of her previous life and pondered all the essays on Zhao Fei's road to seizing the throne. She felt that Zhang Zheng was the most likely to make a fuss about the Nine Phoenix Jade Hairpin. One reason was that this happened not long after the previous life, and the other reason was that the storm caused by this incident was no less than the British Duke's conspiracy case.
If Zhang Zheng wanted to cover up the failure of the British Duke's plan in front of Zhao Fei, exposing Sun Huier's identity is the best choice.
Xu Jinyan remembered it very clearly that later this Nine-Phoenix Jade Hairpin was taken back by Emperor Qingyu. After she became Princess Duan, Emperor Qingyu took out the hairpin to enjoy it at a palace banquet.
It happened that time Zhao Fei was drunk and after returning to Prince Duan’s Mansion, he said a lot of things he shouldn’t have said in front of her.
She remembers every word Zhao Fei said very clearly.
"It's just a fake hairpin that Zhang Zheng bought from Yu Qizhai, but was actually praised as a treasure by a group of idiots."
At that time, she knew that the hairpin was bought from Yuqizhai and had a close relationship with Zhang Zheng. Xu Jinyan looked up at Yuxiao and said, "The shopkeeper is sure to sell it to me?"
Yuxiao said inexplicably: "Don't you want to buy it?"
Xu Jinyan hid the surprise in her eyes. If her guess was correct, this hairpin would be of great use tomorrow. Even if it was not tomorrow, it would be of great use in the future.
If Zhang Zheng had a close relationship with Yu Qizhai, how could Yu Qizhai have so easily agreed to sell this hairpin to her for such an important hairpin? Xu Jinyan picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully, "I wonder if the shopkeeper, how much is this hairpin price?"
Since Yu Qizhai dared to sell it, she would dare to buy it. Yuxiao never expected that the bold weird woman wanted this hairpin. Although he was sent to Zhang Zhengfa to come to see the door, he also knew that this hairpin would be of great use tomorrow.
As a result, Zhang Zheng was so lustful that he gave the hairpin so easily.
Although Yuxiao was heartbroken, when he thought that if Zhang Zheng had hope of getting married, he could get rid of his status as a guardian and go home openly.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao's mood improved a little. He looked at the hairpin with pain and said to Xu Jinyan: "No... I don't have money, but the girl needs to agree to Yu Qizhai."
Xu Jinyan said suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
Yu Xiao suddenly browsed and said, "Be the boss lady of our Yuqizhai."
