Chapter 789: The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (Extra 3)

The Later Life of Duke Xing's Mansion

At noon, Shi Yue hurried towards the princess's mansion, his heart filled with anxiety.

When she finally reached the princess, she saw her master removing her hairpins and realized that it was already lunchtime.

She pursed her lips, feeling hesitant, not knowing whether she should tell the princess the news she had just learned.

After all, the news was too shocking.

As an elder person around Princess Fu'an, Shi Yue knows each other very well.

At this moment, her hesitation attracted the attention of Princess Fu'an, because she rarely saw Shi Yue so restless.

So Princess Fu'an asked, "Shiyue, I haven't seen you so upset for a long time. What happened?"

Shi Yue took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master, Duke Xing is dead."

She knew the news sounded unbelievable, but it was true.

"Who?" Princess Fu'an seemed to be unable to react for a moment. Perhaps she couldn't believe what she heard, so she asked again, "Shi Yue, who did you say happened?"

"Master, it's Duke Xing Yin Chengye, he's dead!" Shi Yue said it very clearly this time, but Princess Fu'an still looked a little confused and shocked.

After a long while, she slowly came back to her senses: "Isn't he only a few years older than me? He should have just turned 40 this year! What kind of accident happened?"

Speaking of the cause of death, Shi Yue was a little embarrassed to speak. Seeing the other party hesitating, the eldest princess said, "Just tell me! I have seen everything in the world!"

"They said he died suddenly of a disease." Shi Yue paused and continued, "But when this was discovered, he happened to be in the room of the newly-brought-in young second wife. He drank wine, lit incense, and seemed to have taken medicine."

The wind is coming!

Shi Yue didn't say these three words, but these three words were in every sentence.

"He's courting death!" Princess Fu'an couldn't help but curse, but then she realized that she seemed too excited, and immediately restrained her emotions, "Forget it, I don't want to know about his affairs.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. What happened to him has nothing to do with us. Since he is already dead, we don’t need to keep an eye on his family anymore.”

On the other side, Xue Lian, who was already the widow of Duke Xing, was kneeling in the mourning hall, wiping her tears while tidying up Yin Chengye's clothes. No one noticed that when she was adjusting the belt of the body with her left hand, she took the opportunity to replace the real Dark Tiger Talisman with the imitation one in her hand.

Because the cause of death was so ignominious, the body was not kept for many days.

However, just a few days after Yin Chengye was buried, his young second wife Xue Lian also committed suicide.

It happened so quickly that even the newly appointed Duke of Xing didn't have time to cause trouble for the other party.

However, there are rumors that it was this stepson who killed Xue Lian.

Anyway, rumors in the capital never stop, and anyone can say whatever they want.

The moment the eldest prince took the Dark Tiger Talisman from Xue Lian's hand, his star could finally land.

"Very good, you did a good job. Go and recover your original appearance! You have worked hard these past few years." The eldest prince Zhao Jiayang looked at him and said, "You should take a rest first. Anyway, the big things are not decided yet, and there are many places where you can contribute."

It turns out that no little luck can make up for the regrets brought by time. It is full of calculations from the beginning to the end.

Xue Lian is fake, her face is fake, and the temperament she deliberately imitates is even more fake.

Yin Chengye, who had been cautious all his life, ended up ending his life early because of some regrets in his youth.

With the power of the Dark Tiger Talisman, Zhao Jiayang quickly began to expand his influence in secret.

Two years later, the prince was riding a horse when his horse suddenly went crazy and stepped on his ribs, breaking them.

The broken ribs pierced into his internal organs, causing extensive bleeding. He died after wailing in bed for two days.

Unfortunately, when the prince died, his daughter was just one year old and he left no offspring.

Three months later, Concubine Li was promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine, with the same rank as the Vice Empress, and was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces.

After all, after the prince passed away, the queen was in excessive grief and had no intention of taking care of the harem.

On the eve of the Wanshou Festival of the same year, the eldest prince was officially canonized as the crown prince, and Emperor Mingchen directly gave him the power of regent.

The ministers were basically celebrating and agreed to this decision.

Even the newly appointed Duke of Xing agreed with this decision.

because

"This is the antidote. It will allow your generation to have offspring." The eldest prince Zhao Jiayang handed a pill to the new Duke of Xing.

It turns out that there was a reason why the Yin family was chosen as the one to hold the Dark Tiger Talisman. Not only because they were loyal enough, but also because the royal family had already controlled them with drugs.

It was just that a mistake occurred in the previous emperor's generation, which allowed Yin Chengye's father to steal one extra secret medicine. Otherwise, there would be no "successor" to the Yin family.

But even so, Yin Chengye's father did not develop an antidote, and originally wanted to surrender to Emperor Mingchen to ensure that Yin Chengye's son could have an heir.

But he was just like the last emperor, he left in a hurry! That’s why there were so many things happening afterwards!

The key point is that Emperor Mingchen doesn't know about these things yet, only the eldest prince Zhao Jiayang knows. Now this can be regarded as "restoring order".
