The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 99 The truth comes out

Yunxi has been so worried about the prince's affairs these days that she has lost her appetite and has become extremely thin.

One day, she was sitting in the room, her eyes dull, just staring blankly.

Suddenly, there was a loud and noisy sound of footsteps outside. "Princess, princess, great joy!"

The kid Ling Feng ran in shouting at the top of his lungs, the joy on his face looking like a big red flower blooming.

Yunxi stood up suddenly, her movements so quick and hasty that she almost knocked over the chair. She asked anxiously, "Lingfeng, what happened?"

Ling Feng was running out of breath, his hands supporting his knees, breathing heavily. It took him a long time to recover and say, "Princess, the truth is out, and the prince has been vindicated!"

Yunxi's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, with a look of disbelief on her face, her voice trembling: "Really?

Tell me in detail.”

Ling Feng straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Princess, you don't know that we have finally caught that bad guy this time.

It turned out that the man who had framed the prince had accidentally revealed his true identity. His name was Li Si, and he had shifty eyes and looked like a bad guy.

He was a spy planted by the prince's enemies. Li Si pretended to be honest and honest on weekdays, and he thought he was doing it perfectly.

But who would have thought that one time when he got drunk, he started talking nonsense with his friends and boasted about everything.

One of our men happened to be passing by and heard what was happening. He was very clever and caught him right away.

After they brought him back, they tortured him without mercy. Li Si was stubborn at first, but he couldn't stand the beating and finally confessed the mastermind behind the incident.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "It turns out that the person who framed the prince revealed his true identity. That guy is called Li Si, and he is a spy planted by the prince's enemies.

Li Si thought he had done it perfectly, but one day when he got drunk, he started bragging about it to his friends, and our people happened to hear it.

Our people immediately arrested him, and under severe torture, he finally confessed the mastermind behind the incident."

Yunxi's hands trembled with excitement: "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Ling Feng lowered his voice and said, "It's Lord Zhao. He has always been jealous of your achievements and wants to take this opportunity to get rid of you."

Yunxi bit her lip, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes: "This despicable villain!"

At this moment, a commotion erupted outside the Marquis's residence. Yunxi and Lingfeng hurried outside to investigate. They saw a group of soldiers escorting the prince toward the Marquis's residence.

The prince was wearing a brand new brocade robe. Although he looked tired, the light in his eyes could not hide his joy.

He walked with big strides, his back straight, and he looked as majestic as ever.

Yunxi walked over quickly, tears in her eyes and her lips trembling slightly, "Your Highness."

The prince embraced Yunxi in his arms, holding her tightly with his arms, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Madam, I am sorry for making you suffer."

Yunxi buried her head in the prince's arms and sobbed, "As long as the prince can come back, I am not afraid of any suffering I have to endure."

The people around cheered.

"It's great that the prince has returned safely!" an old vegetable seller shouted at the top of his voice, with all the wrinkles on his face smiling.

"God has eyes, the prince is wronged." An older sister-in-law holding a child shouted, and the child also giggled.

Yunxi led the prince into the mansion, where the maids bustled about, serving tea and water. Some of them were so anxious that they nearly fell, their teapots wobbling and spilling a lot of water.

After the prince sat down, he said, "This time, I was able to redress my innocence thanks to my wife's efforts."

Yunxi shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "As long as the prince is safe and sound, everything I do is worth it.

Every day I look forward to the prince's return, and I often wake up in the night, afraid of hearing bad news."

As they were talking, Minister Chen and Grand Tutor Li also arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

Minister Chen, dressed in a dark blue official uniform, hurried in and said with a bow, "Your Highness, this is truly dangerous."

Taifu Li followed behind, stroking his beard and sighing, "That's right, Lord Zhao is truly a ruthless man, resorting to such despicable tactics."

The prince frowned slightly and snorted coldly: "He thinks he can overthrow me in this way. It's simply wishful thinking."

Yunxi poured the prince a cup of tea and said softly, "Don't be angry, Prince. Now that the truth is out, he won't get any good."

Minister Chen sat down beside him, took the tea handed to him by the maid, took a sip and said, "Your Highness, Lord Zhao has always been jealous of your military achievements, and this time he has really gone too far."

Imperial Tutor Li nodded, "Fortunately, the prince is blessed with great fortune, and his wife has been able to help him, so he was able to escape this danger."

The prince looked at Yunxi, his eyes full of gratitude: "Madam, you have worked hard these days. I will definitely compensate you well in the future."

Yunxi smiled slightly: "I don't ask for compensation, I just hope that everything goes well for you, my Lord."

Ling Feng stood aside and couldn't help but say, "Lord Zhao looks like a decent person on weekdays, but I didn't expect him to be so sinister behind the scenes."

Minister Chen slammed the table and said, "This kind of villain should be severely punished."

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be carefully considered. We cannot let him have another chance to turn things around."

Yunxi echoed, "Your Majesty is right. He must pay for his evil deeds."

Everyone was talking at once, happy about the prince's vindication, and also discussing how to deal with the evil Marquis Zhao.

Minister Chen bowed and said, "Your Highness, this is truly dangerous."

The prince stood up and returned the greeting: "Thank you very much for your help, Minister Chen and Grand Tutor Li."

Minister Chen quickly waved his hand and said sincerely, "Your Highness, this is too formal. Serving you is my duty."

Taifu Li stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Highness, we are all of one mind. We hope that you will be safe and sound."

At this moment, a loud announcement came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"

When everyone heard this, their expressions instantly became nervous and respectful. They quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, and hurried out to greet them.

The Emperor walked into the Marquis's residence with the swift gait of a dragon and a tiger. His eyes fell directly on the prince, and he said with pity, "My dear, you have suffered. I will punish the person who falsely accused you severely."

The prince knelt down with a thud, expressing his gratitude, his voice firm and powerful: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The Emperor personally stepped forward to help the prince to his feet, holding his arm tightly with both hands, and said earnestly, "My dear, please stand up quickly. This time, it is all thanks to your wife Yunxi. If she hadn't been so persistent and searched everywhere for evidence, I'm afraid this injustice would have been difficult to clear up."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi quickly knelt down, head bowed low, and said respectfully, "I dare not take any credit for this. I rely entirely on the emperor's wisdom."

The emperor laughed heartily and tossed his sleeves. "All right, all right, rise. I have come today, firstly, to appease you, my dear minister, and secondly, to discuss important matters with you."

The crowd gathered around the emperor and brought him to the main hall, where they took their seats, divided into host and guest. The emperor sat upright in the main seat, his face solemn as he spoke, "Lord Zhao is so audacious and presumptuous. I have ordered his entire family to be executed."

The court is in turmoil right now, and I need you to share my worries."

The prince straightened his back, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best."

The Emperor nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over the crowd before continuing, "I know you have suffered greatly in this matter. Lord Zhao has relied on his ancestors' achievements to act arrogantly and domineeringly, forming a clique for personal gain. I have long wanted to deal with him."

The prince frowned and said angrily, "Lord Zhao has committed crimes and should have been punished long ago. I didn't expect him to have the audacity to frame me."

Minister Chen interrupted, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has many followers. Now that his entire family has been executed, those remaining villains will probably not let this go. We must take precautions."

Imperial Tutor Li also looked worried: "Yes, Your Majesty, we must be careful that they will do something desperate."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I have ordered people to monitor secretly. If any unusual movement is found, they will be arrested immediately."

The prince said, "Your Majesty is wise, but I believe that in addition to suppressing the people, we must also appease the people and stabilize the government."

The Emperor nodded and said, "Your Excellency is absolutely right. I intend to promote some honest and upright officials to enrich the court."

Yunxi whispered softly, "Your Majesty, I believe that we need to rectify the administration of officials and eradicate corruption."

The emperor looked at Yunxi, his eyes full of admiration: "Madam, what you said makes sense. I will consider it carefully."

Everyone was talking at once, offering suggestions for the court situation.

After discussing for a while, the Emperor stood up and said, "Alright, let's stop here for today. I have important matters to attend to. I will discuss this with you in detail another day."

Prince Wang and Yunxi hurriedly escorted the Emperor out, all the way to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. After watching the Emperor's procession go away, Prince Wang and Yunxi turned around and returned to their room.

After seeing the emperor off, the prince and Yunxi returned to their room.

Yunxi said, "Your Majesty, these past few days have been like a nightmare."

Yunxi's brows were furrowed, and there was still panic in her eyes. "Every time I close my eyes, I see the flashing swords and sabers. It really terrifies me."

The prince held Yunxi's hand, unconsciously adding a bit of strength, and comforted her: "Madam, it's all over."

However, the matter did not end there. When the remaining followers of Lord Zhao learned that Lord Zhao and his entire family had been executed, they were filled with resentment and decided to take revenge in secret.

One day, Yunxi went shopping with her maid. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with only a simple jade hairpin in her hair, but it was hard to hide her dignified demeanor.

As she walked, she was talking to the maidservant. Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed out from the corner, holding swords and knives. Their faces were full of ferocity, their eyes were wide open, and they shouted, "Give me your life!"

Rushing towards Yunxi.

Yunxi was startled and her body trembled violently, but she did not panic. She quickly stepped back and stared at the men in black with a sharp look.

"Protect the princess!" Ling Feng and his guards rushed forward like the wind. Ling Feng frowned, his eyes wide open, and roared, "How dare you!"

A fierce fight broke out with the man in black.

At this moment, a man in black took advantage of the chaos and stabbed Yunxi. There was a fierce look in the man's eyes, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight at Yunxi.

At the critical moment, the prince arrived in time. The prince was dressed in a brocade robe and had a sturdy figure. He kicked the man in black with such force that he kicked him several meters away.

The prince shouted angrily: "You bold lunatic, how dare you assassinate my wife!" The prince's face was full of anger, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

The men in black saw that the situation was not good and fled, running like rabbits, wishing they had two more legs.

The prince looked at Yunxi, sized her up and down, and asked with concern, "Madam, are you okay?"

Yunxi shook her head, patted her chest lightly, and said, "I'm fine, thanks to the prince."

When the prince returned to the Marquis' Mansion, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He flicked his sleeves, strode into the study, and closed the door with a "bang".

After a while, the prince came out again and gathered everyone together, saying, "We must wipe out these remaining gangs and put an end to their future troubles."

The sound was so loud that the beams seemed to tremble.

Ling Feng said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already sent people to track them down." Ling Feng had a serious face, clasped his fists in salute, and his eyes were extremely firm.

After a few days, Ling Feng finally found the hiding place of the remaining gang members. The prince personally led his men to encircle and suppress them.

The prince, sword in hand, charged forward, his guards behind him also fiercely fighting. From the remnant's lair, shouts of killing filled the air.

The prince slashed left and right, his sword sharp, and his clothes were splattered with the blood of the enemy. After a fierce battle, he finally wiped out all the remaining enemies.

The Marquis' Mansion finally returned to its former tranquility.

Yunxi and the prince were also able to enjoy this rare moment of peace.
