Chapter 37 The Assassination of Yizhou
For Xiao Yuanqi's sudden obedientness, Shen Sirong was not sad, but he was very distressed and distressed for Xiao Yuanqi who was prepared to cover himself.
Just as the existence of her mother Ruan is a scar in her heart, Queen Hui'an is also such an existence for Xiao Yuanqi.
They all know that their mothers are good people, but they can't give them innocence.
She married into the palace in exchange for this. Her wish was that Xiao Yuanqi could help her, but he could not give Queen Hui'an an innocence.
In this case, let her do all this...
Soon, the dispute between the emperor and Shen Guifei on the ship spread, and Xiao Yuanqi summoned Zeng Min and Chen Yunyun to accompany him for several days.
This made Li Fangcheng anxious.
After arriving at Yiranju, for several days, Xiao Yuanqi took Chen Yunyun to pretend to be brothers and sisters, accompanied by Li Fangcheng to visit the bustling Yizhou City, and often stayed with Chen Yunyun or Zeng Min at night.
Shen Sirong didn't say anything about this. She just ordered Hanmei to buy some famous embroidery threads from Yizhou and sit down behind closed doors. However, Li Jingwan's face became more and more ugly. It would have been fine if no one had called the emperor before, but now she has never accompanied her except Shen Sirong, who was neglected by the emperor, which made her face really sad.
To put it more deeply, this is not just hitting her in the face. Yizhou Assassin is her father. This time, how many eyes have grown on her? If she is not favored, I'm afraid her father will be very sad.
Now that one Shen Sirong is missing, the other two are easy to deal with.
Li Jingwan took off the gold-inlaid gold hairpin and gently turned left and right, and the small smoke in the air flew randomly...
That night, Xiao Yuanqi wanted to stay at Zeng Min's place, but Zeng Min saw red in front of the waiter's bed. Li Jingwan, who heard the news, dressed up and prepared to "meet" the holy driver.
But he didn't expect Xiao Yuanqi to take a detour to Chen Yunyun, which made Li Jingwan's stomach burn hot air. When she rushed to the attic where Chen Yunyun lived, she saw two figures reflected under the red candle, one handsome and the other charming. The shadows are intertwined under the candlelight, as if they are hugging each other and clinging to each other. Every picture between the movements has a substantial sharp blade between Li Jingwan's eyes.
She shook her sleeves and left, with a steady pace and face, but the ups and downs of her chest changed uncertainly. When she walked to the courtyard where Shen Sirong lived, she unconsciously stopped.
"Is your sister in there?" Li Jingwan buttoned outside the door.
Shen Sirong in the room put down the local miscellaneous notes in Yizhou that he found in his hand and tied up his loose hair.
"What's wrong with Sister Li coming so late?"
Opening the door, Li Jingwan stood outside and Hanmei who heard the sound. Shen Sirong raised his chin to Hanmei: "Go and make a pot of hot tea."
After saying that, Shen Sirong invited Li Jingwan into the room. Soon, Hanmei came in with a pot of tea. Shen Sirong personally poured a cup for Li Jingwan, and Li Jingwan only took a sip and put it down.
"What's the matter? Is this tea not good? Shen Sirong smiled.
It was too late to put away the coldness in Li Jingwan's eyes. She looked at the snow-white fine leaves floating in the teacup and covered up the strong dissatisfaction and replied, "Sister doesn't know. This tea is the famous tea in Yizhou. It is named because the tea only grows in the shade of the cliff. That's why this tea is unspeakable.
"Really? I still don't know the origin of this tea, which makes it a little difficult for me to eat.
Shen Sirong is very estranged from Li Jingwan. Since Zhang Yufu was favored, she has kept a distance from Li Jingwan from the bottom of her heart, so she also responded lightly to Li Jingwan's sister.
"I often drink this tea at home, and I don't think it's rare, but I haven't drunk it when I enter the palace, but it seems particularly rare..." Li Jingwan sighed with some words, but didn't see the light in Shen Sirong's eyes.
Do you drink often? Even the rare treasures in the palace are ordinary for Li Jingwan.
"Real?" Shen Sirong's tone was somewhat exploratory, which made Li Jingwan find that she had said something wrong. She picked up the teacup and took another sip, smiling and turning her eyes.
"What happened to my sister and the emperor that day? Why is it so serious? Recently, the emperor has been so cold to his sister, and his sister can't see it. Li Jingwan's eyes were full of worries.
Shen Sirong is not interested in the battle of the harem at all. He just wants to protect himself. There are too many deep meanings in Li Jingwan's seemingly concerned words.
Is that right? Could it be that the beauty came late at night to ask me about this? Shen Sirong spoke in Li Jingwan's expectation.
Li Jingwan cursed Shen Sirong in her heart, but still said, "Oh... Sister, it's better to find an opportunity to talk to the emperor."
"I'm worried about the beautiful woman." After saying that, Shen Sirong put down the teacup in his hand, and Hanmei, who served beside him, immediately came forward to take away the teacup, and Shen Sirong stopped talking, which was obviously to send Li Jingwan away.
Li Jingwan was very angry today. She wanted to provoke Shen Sirong to deal with the two bitches Chen Yunyun and Zeng Min, but Shen Sirong was too useless to respond to it.
"Sister, go to bed early. It's getting late." Li Jingwan said to Shen Sirongfu with a smile.
"Well... Hanmei, send Beauty Li out."
After Li Jingwan left, Shen Sirong was relieved. Li Jingwan underestimated her too much and thought she would deal with the rest of the concubines in order to compete for favor?
And what Shen Sirong doesn't want to do will fall on Li Jingwan's head, but he may not miss it.
The next day, Li Jingwan spent a lot of thought and finally invited Xiao Yuanqi to her room.
"Your Majesty, this is a Yizhou snack cooked by my concubine. Let's try it..."
Li Jingwan was wearing a new dress, and the rouge on her face was particularly bright. This was sent in by her father, saying that as long as she used a little bit of the rouge, it would be beautiful enough.
"Not bad." Xiao Yuanqi took a bite of butter cake and praised it.
This made Li Jingwan's heart fall a little. It was not until she finished serving Xiao Yuanqi and said that she would stay with her tonight that she calmed down.
At last, the emperor left a favor for her.
The three concubines tried their best to win the king's favor, and Xiao Yuanqi no longer paid attention to Li Jingwan for the rest of the day.
Under this storm, it seems that only Shen Sirong is out of it. This also made Shen Sirong suddenly understand why Xiao Yuanqi was angry with her that day.
This kind of protection makes Shen Sirong's heart like rolling tea, fragrant and fragrant.
"Madam, are you really not going to admit your mistake to the emperor?"
Hearing many rumors, Hanmei couldn't help worrying. How could the emperor stand her master's arrogant temperament?
Shen Sirong smiled inexplicably: "I'm a little hungry. Go and pass on some snacks." Hanmei didn't know that if she really admitted her mistake, I'm afraid it would be Xiao Yuanqi who would make it difficult for her.
It's really not as good as they expected, and an assassin came into the middle. On a cloudy night, an accident happened in the Rhine Pavilion where Chen Yunyun lived.
"Beauty Chen, don't panic. Drink some water first and then talk about it slowly." When something happened, Shen Sirong, who had been avoiding people, came out to appease the frightened Chen Yunyun.
It is said that Chen Yunyun was resting at that time, and the maidservant beside her was the maid of honor she brought out of the palace, but she didn't expect that she would kill Chen Yunyun, picked up the dagger and lifted the curtain and stabbed her.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yuanqi, who was at Zeng Min, turned to Chen Yunyun and happened to save Chen Yunyun. This is also her life. If Xiao Yuanqi is a step late, she will die.
"I... I don't know anything... Who is going to kill me, who..." Chen Yunyun's words were confused, and the light in her eyes scattered everywhere, as if she had been covered by a layer, and there was nothing in her eyes.
Shen Sirong couldn't ask anything, but looked at Xiao Yuanqi sitting in the right position.
I haven't seen him for many days. Xiao Yuanqi has lost a little weight. Shen Simong's eyes are faintly arrogant, but the corners of his mouth are hanging with a happy arc. Xiao Yuanqi's eyes only glanced slightly from Shen Sirong's face, but he could see the smile at the corners of Shen Sirong's mouth clearly.
Does she really understand everything...
"Strange, why did the assassin come to you?" Li Jingwan's cold words attracted the eyes in the room.
Chen Yunyun's exclusive pet for so long has made Li Jingwan angry a lot. Today, when she was assassinated, she only thought that someone vented her anger. As soon as this idea appeared, Li Jingwan was stunned. Could it be...
Thinking of this, the voice of Li Fangcheng's visit came from outside the door.
"Xuan."
Li Fangcheng lowered his head and leaned in. He had never walked to Xiao Yuanqi's face and knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, forgive me for my duty."
He lowered his head and peeked at Li Jingwan, a woman standing not far away. Recently, everything has been going well. First, his son was inexplicably tied up and threatened to exchange him with a large amount of gold. But because the emperor was in Yizhou, he did not dare to do anything, so he had to silence and wait uneasily for the emperor to move back to the palace. Make plans.
And his daughter was not favored in front of the emperor, so that he was secretly discussed by his subordinates, and he was not allowed to attack.
Today, there is this assassination incident, and what makes him more uneasy is that it is probably her daughter...
Li Fangcheng knelt on the ground and felt that the head and official cap on his neck were swaying tremblingly.
"I'll let you judge the maid of honor. Come on, bring it up." Xiao Yuanqi said with a gloomy face.
Soon, the maid of honor was brought here. She looked at Chen Yunyun fiercely. Chen Yunyun was shocked and shouted. Later, Xiao Yuanqi ordered Wang Guangrong to send someone to send Chen Yunyun back and send someone to take care of him.
"People have brought it, Li Assass, let's judge."
Xiao Yuanqi's gloomy eyes made Li Fangcheng dare not look directly. He looked at the assassin, but he didn't expect that the assassin was also looking at him, and his bloody eyes turned around him and Li Jingwan.
Li Jingwan became nervous, and tears appeared in her eyes: Dad, you are so confused...
Li Fangcheng was intertwined with panic and resentment, and he looked at Li Jingwan speechlessly.
