Chapter 18: Three Fiancées
Nie Siyun looked at Nie Sihuan a little helplessly, this little girl, such an IQ, she is just making an analogy, okay?
Nie Sihuan was very nervous, and the words she said were really considered for her: "Seventh sister, you must not like that King of Pingxi, although he is high and powerful, and his future is unlimited, but that person is indeed not able to marry." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Nie Siyun had no choice but to follow her meaning and ask, "Why can't you get married?" ”
Nie Sihuan opened the conversation box and said eloquently: "Seventh sister, you don't know, this person is the life of his wife!" He had a total of three fiancées before and after, and as a result, they all passed away before they got married, and they were all girls who were twenty-eight years old, and somehow, the good ones had to die of illness, you say, if it wasn't for his life being too hard, and he killed his fiancée, what other good explanations would there be? ”
Nie Siyun nodded.
These rumors are also a little heard of for a person like her, who has lived a new life. I heard that King Pingxi really got engaged to three famous ladies, but his marriage road was indeed too unsmooth.
The first fiancée, the second granddaughter of the former Prime Minister Liang Xiang, heard that she was as beautiful as a flower, and her temperament was gentle and considerate, and the two families were very satisfied. Especially Liang Xiang, he was simply ecstatic, and it was rumored that half of his white hair had turned black. The wedding date was soon finalized, but just a month before the bride went to Beijing to get married, an accident happened. The daughter of a large family in Haoduan was standing by the pond in her house admiring the moon, and actually fell into the water. By the time he was rescued, he had already died of exhaustion. This matter has been investigated for several months, and batch after batch of maids have been driven out of the house, but no clues have been found after all. The good granddaughter is gone, and the good family affairs are also gone, Liang Xiang couldn't think about it for a while, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he went with his granddaughter a year later.
The second fiancée is the third daughter of Chu Shangshu of the current Ministry of Rites. The original Chu Shangshu had not yet achieved this position, and he was still a waiter in the Ministry of Rites at that time. The third daughter of his family is a well-known talented woman in the capital, although she is weak and slender, but she has a romantic figure, and she is also very good at the king of Pingxi, so she agreed to this family business. In order to prevent the accident of the previous fiancée, the Chu family took every precaution in the house, but the accident did not happen. But Miss Chu was sick, and she occasionally felt cold, but this disease was menacing, and after a few days, Miss Chu, who was already a little weaker, was even thinner like a piece of paper, and she fell down when the wind blew. The queen mother was very anxious and hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to go to see a doctor. It's a pity that it was too late, Miss Chu suddenly vomited a lot of blood on a gloomy and bleak night, and finally in the early hours of the morning, the bad news came out, and Xiang Yu died.
After the death of the two fiancées one after another, for a while, rumors spread in the market, some people said that the life of King Pingxi was too hard, and it was the life of his wife; Some people say that the two young ladies are blessed and can't afford to be as rich and noble as King Pingxi; Some people also said that King Pingxi had killed too much before, and those ghosts came to ask for their lives, and King Pingxi was too murderous for them to get close, so they found his fiancée......
Hearing such many rumors, King Pingxi just smiled faintly and ignored them. Only in the aspect of choosing a wife, the mind gradually faded. But the queen mother, who was the eldest sister of the king of Pingxi, was not followed, and in a fit of anger, she arrested the rapping storytellers near the capital and put them in prison.
Originally, this kind of thing was just people's speculation, and if you talk about it casually and ignore it, those rumors will gradually disperse. The queen's mother protects her brother, and this practice has aroused a strong backlash from public opinion, and it has confirmed the rumors of King Pingxi's "hard wife".
It took about a year for the rumors to subside. At this time, Empress Zhao, who had been worrying about her brother's marriage, finally found a fiancée for King Pingxi. Speaking of this third fiancée, her background is not very good, she is a counselor's concubine. People are round and blessed. But Empress Zhao was still not at ease, so she specially asked someone to tell the fate of this Wu girl, and learned that she was also a hard-fated person, and no one could restrain her, so Empress Zhao was overjoyed. Began to prepare for his brother's marriage.
Things went very smoothly, and until two days before they got married, this Wu girl was also fine. Moreover, Empress Zhao was afraid that the previous two incidents would happen again, so she specially brought Miss Wu into the palace, ordered four guards to follow Miss Wu every inch of the way, and asked the imperial doctor to come over every two or three days to diagnose Miss Wu. Everyone is speculating that this time Miss Wu should be able to marry the king of Pingxi safely, right?
I never thought that just two days before getting married, the garment workshop in the palace sent Miss Wu's wedding dress, Miss Wu was very happy, and immediately tried it on, I don't know how to get it, in the process of trying it on, I actually broke a silk thread, and a good exquisite embroidery appeared faulty, and it became not so good-looking. Miss Wu was afraid that the queen would blame her, so she didn't dare to tell the queen. She found out that the bride who embroidered double-sided embroidery lived in the alley behind the imperial city, so she asked the maid ring around her to pretend to be herself, lure away the guards, and sneaked out by herself.
As a result, he went out and never came back.
The queen mother was very anxious, and a large number of guards were sent out to look for her, and finally found Miss Wu on the moat in the morning when the sky was light. Oh no, to be exact, Miss Wu's body was found. After soaking all night, Miss Wu was already unrecognizable, and she was still holding the wedding dress tightly in her arms.
After on-site investigation, Dali Temple came to the conclusion that that night, Miss Wu went to find the embroidery lady to sew and mend the wedding dress, unfortunately, the embroidery girl went to the wedding banquet of others, so Miss Wu asked the address and went to find the embroidery girl. While passing through the moat, he accidentally stumbled and fell into the river.
There were no traces of a fight at the scene, and there were no signs of poisoning on Miss Wu's body, so Dali Temple concluded that Miss Wu fell into the water by accident.
As soon as this Wu girl died, the public opinion of the whole city exploded again. After a year of silence, rumors about the wife of King Ke of Pingxi have spread again. Moreover, those who did not believe in the wife of King Pingxi had to believe it according to the facts in front of them.
At this point, the king of Pingxi no longer had the heart to marry a wife, and automatically asked to leave the capital and garrison the border pass. This guard was five full years, and he never came back.
Every time the girls in the capital talk about it, they can't help but feel sorry and sigh. What a good prince, at the age of thirteen, he went to the battlefield, fought countless battles, and made countless contributions, which made the small countries around Daqi, such as Nanqiang, Dongli, West Qin, and Beizhao, fearful. is also a majestic figure, dignified appearance, is not only the queen's younger brother, but also the only prince with a different surname who holds a lot of power in the dynasty, this is the husband that many girls dream of! It's a pity that why do you want to kill your wife?
Thinking of risking their lives, how many girls shy away from this alluring glory and wealth.
