Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 248 Princess Jialing

Princess Jialing is the eldest daughter of Prince Hong, Beiqing. She was born with a butterfly birthmark behind her ear. Prince Hong had a daughter when he was old, and he doted on Princess Jialing.

Beiqing is also a well-known little talented girl. She could write poems at the age of three and play the piano at the age of four. She is lovely and speaks well.

Therefore, when Bei Qing was six years old, she was named Princess Jialing, and her favor was no less than that of the third prince Bei Yao.

Also in the winter of the same year, Prince Hong set out from his fiefdom and brought his wife and daughter to Beijing to spend the New Year with the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers on the way and Princess Jialing disappeared.

More than ten years have passed, and Prince Hong has never given up looking for Princess Jialing. The Queen Mother feels guilty about this matter, and she also fasts and prays for Princess Jialing to have a chance of survival.

Today, Princess Jialing has long been forgotten by the world.

But Xu Yuan knows the outcome of Princess Jialing.

There are three dukes in the court: Qi Chengen, Tiancheng and Wei Chenyi.

Except Qi Chengen, the remaining two people have worse personal ethics than the other.

Perhaps because they had reached high positions at a young age, Song Tiancheng and Wei Chenyi did all kinds of absurd things, especially Wei Chenyi.

Most of the girls Song Tiancheng liked were from decent families. Unlike Wei Chenyi, he used his power to force those girls to submit and marry into the Song family.

Therefore, the Song family had many wives and concubines, as well as many concubines, but no one in the court or the public reported it.

But Wei Chen is different.

He loved to hang out in places of entertainment. Whenever he saw someone he liked, he would use various means to buy her back to his house. However, most of those women had only one ending: a miserable death.

It’s just that Wei Chenyi kept these things very secret, and even the people in the Wei Mansion didn’t know about them.

You can make a wish to know.

In her previous life, she was Wei Chenyi's favorite student.

Wei Chenyi even trained her as his successor.

If the fact that she was a descendant of the Xu family had not been exposed, Ying Xu would have been the next censor of Tianqi.

Similarly, with the help of Wei Chenyi, Xu Yuan also learned many secrets of the court.

The entire court of civil and military officials is gilded on the outside but rotten on the inside.

Wei Chenyi’s secret is the dead women of Yueyuan Tower and Princess Jialing.

The former would bring disgrace upon Wei Chen and cause him to be denounced by the censors, while the latter would send Wei Chen straight to the underworld.

After all, no one can bear the wrath of the royal family.

The emperor now detained Wei Chenyi in the Heavenly Prison simply because the women Wei Chenyi killed were all prostitutes.

Wei Chenyi felt that he still had a chance to make a breakthrough because those women were alone and helpless, and no one could seek justice for them.

But what if there is also Princess Jialing?

Xu Yuan smiled, and seeing Wei Chenyi's sudden change in expression, his smile became even more kind: "Wei Chenyi, do you think you still have a chance to survive?"

Wei Chenyi looked at Xu Yuan and his heart was filled with waves.

The incident involving Princess Jialing happened more than ten years ago.

He has always been fond of singing girls in brothels, especially young girls.

There used to be a small teahouse in the capital called Dengfang, which housed homeless children, both boys and girls. Because of its outstanding reputation, many families who could not afford to raise their children took the initiative to send their children to the Dengfang.

During the day, the children would come out to serve tea, on the one hand to earn money, and on the other hand to show off to the dignitaries.

If you are chosen, you can quietly go to the lantern shop to pick up the person at night.

And Wei Chenyi was a frequent visitor to the lantern shop.

He was powerful in the court and had a wealthy family. He was always regarded as an honored guest in the lantern house. If there were any new children, Wei Chen would generally be the first to take a look at them.

The same thing happened that day.

The proprietress of the lantern shop told him that there was a new kid in the shop, with excellent looks and fair skin, the only drawback being that he couldn't speak. It wasn't that he was born speechless, but that he was poisoned and made mute.

Wei Chenyi looked down on him.

But the proprietress repeatedly assured him that if he didn't take a look, he would regret it.

Wei Chenyi couldn't hold back and went there at night.

Sure enough, just as the proprietress said, Princess Jialing was extremely beautiful. Even though she was only six or seven years old, she could be described as stunningly beautiful.

The little hands were soft and white, and although there was fear in the eyes, there was an inexplicable stubbornness that made people feel obedient for no reason.

Wei Chenyi was always cautious, and he felt that the little girl in front of him was particularly noble. Even though she was very young, she looked unusual.

The proprietress repeatedly assured that the person was kidnapped in Chanzhou and was definitely not a noble lady from the capital.

Wei Chenyi had never heard of anyone in the capital who had lost their daughter recently, so, unable to bear the urge to find her, he brought the person home.

After a night of pleasure, Wei Chenyi felt like he was rejuvenated.

But when he went to court the next day, he heard about the disappearance of Princess Jialing.

At that time, the first thought in his mind was that it was over.

After rushing back home, Princess Jialing was missing, and with her, his token also disappeared.

Wei Chenyi knew very well what this meant, and immediately sent people out to search. Finally, the day before Prince Hong arrived in the capital, he found Princess Jialing.

She was so lovely that he originally wanted to stay with her for a few more days.

But who among the royal family members is not smart?

Princess Jialing was not only able to escape from Wei's mansion, but also able to steal his token, which was enough to show that this girl was extraordinary. Wei Chen was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he decided to go all out. After killing Bei Qing, he also solved the problem of Dengfang.

From then on, no one in this world knew about Princess Jialing.

Wei Chenyi didn't tell anyone about this.

Everyone who knew about it back then has been silenced by him.

How to know if you can make a wish?

Just like he killed so many people, and so many years have passed, and not a single word of it leaked out, how did Xu Yuan know?

Wei Chenyi didn't know how much Xu Yuan knew.

It was also at this moment that Wei Chenyi suddenly understood why Xu Yuan dared to offend Song Tiancheng.

Xu Yuan must still have something on Song Tiancheng.

Who knows...there might be Qi Chengen too.

Thinking of this, Wei Chenyi's expression became even uglier.

He looked at Xu Yuan, his eyes almost spitting fire, but his voice remained steady. "Xu Yuan, you and I have no grudges against each other, why do you have to do this?"

"No grudges or hatred?" Xu Yuan smiled and said playfully, "When you slandered the Xu family, did you ever think of this? When you went to Zhuifeng Hall to save your life and were chased for thousands of miles, did you ever think of this?"

Xu Yuan stood up, his eyes red: "If our identities were reversed today, would you also say this and let me go?"

"Yes, I will. If you let me go, I will give you whatever you want." Wei Chenyi said immediately.

"No, you won't." Xu Yuan shook her head. She looked at Wei Chenyi, tears slowly flowing from her scarlet eyes.

"You will kill me, and you will also forge evidence to make me never stand up again and be despised by the world. Wei Chenyi, do you know that you were once the person I respected the most?"

After making the wish, she felt ridiculous. She stared at the straw on the ground and thought of many things.

Finally she said, "So, I will personally send you off."

Just like in the previous life.
