The Reborn Noble Girl Is Hard To Find

Chapter 137 : Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

(Jin Zhi Yu Ye - Golden Branches and Jade Leaves is often used to describe a woman born in a royal family, with a noble birth or one of the ruling family)

Everyone in the room was stunned, as if they had not expected Han Yan to come. Fu Yun Xi frowned slightly and glanced at the guards at the door. He saw that the guards knelt down together and said, "We are willing to accept the punishment."

These people were Fu Yun Xi's confidants. Although they didn't know what happened to Fu Yun Xi, the tacit understanding between the master and servant for so many years also let them know that Fu Yun Xi was in trouble. The Western Rong princess was not taken seriously by the prince at all, but Han Yan, if Han Yan's appearance could make the prince happy, then they would be willing to accept the punishment for dereliction of duty.

Fu Yun Xi waved his hand and said, "Go away." The guards then retreated.

Fortunately, Irina was not here and did not see this scene. If she had seen it, she would have been furious. These people had completely different attitudes towards Han Yan and her, but she was obviously the mistress of the palace. Han Yan's words were heard by everyone else in the room. Cheng Lei asked in confusion, "The throne?"

If the rest of the words were understandable, Cheng Lei would not understand what Fu Yun Xi meant by "owing Han Yan the throne". He looked at Fu Yunxi: "What does this mean?"

Of course Fu Yun Xi didn't answer him, but asked Doctor Wu: "What did you say?"

Doctor Wu coughed lightly and said, "My Lord, you also know that the little princess is resourceful. How can I be her opponent? She tortured me to get a confession, and I have no way to deal with it..."

"Aren't you going to answer him?" Han Yan looked at Fu Yun Xi: "How about I answer for you? Your brother ordered to hunt me down just because I am the daughter of Prince Dong Hou. Even if he knew that it was the Empress Dowager who killed Prince Dong Hou's entire family, in order to keep his throne, he would not hesitate to kill me to eliminate future troubles."

The extermination of the entire Prince Dong Hou mansion was not a revenge, as rumored, but a premeditated affair. The old Prince Dong Hou and the late Emperor built the country, and the credit was equally shared by both. It was agreed that the old Prince Dong Hou would be the Emperor, but in the end the late Emperor entered the capital first, so he became the Emperor. The late Emperor had always been upset about taking the throne from his friend, and was very generous to the old Prince Dong Hou and his family.

Therefore, although the Crown Prince Dong Hou was arrogant and was often reported to the Emperor, nothing happened in the end. That was the late Emperor's compensation to the old Prince Dong Hou family.

In his old age, the late Emperor felt more and more guilty about the old Prince Dong Hou, so he wrote a will in advance, wanting to pass the throne to Prince Dong Hou. He wanted to return the throne to its original owner, but the Empress Dowager knew about this.

The Empress Dowager would naturally not be willing. If the family of Prince Dong Hou became a royal family, everything she had would disappear, so she simply went all out and bribed people in the martial arts world to silence the entire Prince of Dong Hou mansion. The people she invited were all crooked and evil in the martial arts world, and their methods were extremely cruel. No one from Prince of Dong Hou mansion was spared. After the incident of Prince Dong Hou, the late Emperor guessed that it was the Empress Dowager who did it, but he had no evidence. At this time, it began to spread in the country that the death of the Prince of Dong Hou was the result of the Emperor's dissatisfaction with his achievements, so he secretly granted his death.

Although this rumor was groundless, many people actually believed it for a while. This is not a good thing for a country, and it may even cause unrest in the country. The late Emperor then said that no one in the territory of Great Zong would discuss the affairs of the Prince of Dong Hou. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy. Such a brutal policy really worked. But the late Emperor could not let it go every time he thought of the tragic death of his friend's family, and he died soon. And the current Emperor ascended the throne.
