Chapter 221
As if she suddenly remembered something, Pei Lan patted her head fiercely and blinked her eyes: "By the way, princess, just talking about this, the slave forgot to tell you!" β
Speaking of this, he bent down again, approached Shao Xunmei and said, "Princess, you are sick in bed, and the prince didn't let you know, but I have to tell you later, wasn't it the old lady's birthday banquet yesterday?" As a result, somehow, the Duchess of the Kingdom died of illness, and the old lady went with her in a hurry! Now there are two important people in the Ningguo Mansion at once, and now the entire Ningguo Mansion hears that it is a cry that shocks the sky, but it can only be put in the coffin first, and it is not even hung with white silk! And because of His Majesty's birthday, even after the funeral has passed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Shao Xunmei just said "oh", and there was no other reaction, and she didn't have the sad feeling that the deceased had passed between the relatives of the Ningguo Mansion at all, and she didn't even have a trace of turmoil.
It's as if Perrin was just talking about someone else's business! With her Shao Xunmei, this princess does not have any feelings.
And Pei Lan also knew how much she didn't like Ning Guogong's Mansion, and the two of them were probably also very disgusted, otherwise, Pei Lan would not have put such an important matter of Guogong Mansion on the bells and whistles before His Majesty's birthday banquet. Supposedly, isn't it the most important thing to report when this mother's family goes? Where would you still be able to say it after you finish it, as if you occasionally remembered to say it in passing?
It's not that she is too cold-blooded and too calm, but that the Ningguo Mansion is too much for her, either framing or killing, especially after tearing her face that time, her biggest impression of the entire Ningguo Mansion is hypocritical and disgusting!
And this time, the Liu family was even more mad like a mad dog, in order to drag down the Ningguo Mansion and take revenge on her, he was even mad and daring, and designed Li Rongxu and her together.
So, she died, at best, it was simply innocent.
There is also Mrs. Guogong, she doesn't believe that Mrs. Wang, a person as healthy as her, will follow her in a hurry because of the death of her daughter-in-law.
Shao Xunmei narrowed her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but ponder: Is this what Li Rongxu wants to achieve? Take the opportunity to get rid of the old Taishan of the Ningguo Mansion?
Isn't it that Li Yongxu is a harbinger of starting action? Or is it the beginning of the Dongning Mansion?
And what she thinks more deeply is: In fact, aren't these two speculations the same in the final analysis? What's the difference?
Then, Shao Xunmei heard Pei Lan continue to say those things that seemed very "unimportant" to the master and servant: "Oh, by the way, there is also ah, it seems that the Anhou Mansion, the maiden home of the Duchess of Ningguo, is said to have more than 100 people in the mansion, and it was actually washed in blood overnight, and even the mansion was burned clean, and it is said that the government just sent people to extinguish the fire for most of the time before it was extinguished!" And it also moved all the people in the vicinity. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple had already intervened in the investigation of this matter. β
Shao Xunmei looked at Pei Lan with a somewhat shocked expression at this time: "Is there any evaluation of these things outside?" β
Pei Lan's eyes immediately widened and she chattered in front of Shao Xunmei: "Some people say that it was the Anhou Mansion that offended the whole family that led to the destruction of the whole family, and some people speculated that it was the death of the two ladies in the Ningguo Mansion that was also strange." β
Shao Xunmei nodded, this must be expected, after all, the appearance of her and Li Rongxu at that time was seen by those female dependents, and His Majesty was designed, and those ministers also knew a thing or two at the time, so how do you look at it, the violent death of the two pillars in the Guogong Mansion is strange.
And what they should probably guess in their hearts is that His Majesty's design must have something to do with the Ningguo Mansion, and even the culprits are these two wives of the Ningguo Mansion, so the two of them were naturally disposed of by His Majesty.
Otherwise, who has such a big deal to do with the Ningguo Mansion! also made Ning Guogong dare not speak out, so he could only use such an excuse to cover up!
And what everyone thinks is that this Ningguo Mansion is simply too bold, and it is not an exaggeration to dare to design Your Majesty, even if you take the entire Ningguo Mansion!
And about the destruction of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, it is a more intriguing case!
And Shao Xunmei's first reaction was that this matter was definitely not done by Li Rongxu!
There is no other reason, he didn't even think about the Ningguo Mansion now, let alone the inconspicuous Anhou Mansion? And most importantly, if he really wants to be angry with Anhou Mansion because of the Liu family, then he has to deal with it after his birthday banquet!
That's naturally to find a reason, and it's okay to put people in prison openly, or exile or behead. And not as violent and bloody as now, not long before his birthday banquet!
Isn't this just adding bad luck to his birthday party! Moreover, during this period, there were envoys from various countries who had already entered Beijing, so that while they were worried about the security of the capital, they were also watching the jokes of the entire Great Wei Dynasty! If the Criminal Department can't find the murderer, then it will really be a shame in front of the envoys of various countries!
That's simply a joke about the incompetence of the emperor and the incompetence of the entire Great Wei! Therefore, the person behind him is very deep and vicious! This shows even more that it's not him!
At this time, Xiangzhi boiled the medicine and brought it to her, and Shao Xunmei was about to pick up the black medicine and drink it, when she heard the respectful voices of Xiangzhi Peilan and the others: "The slave has seen the prince." β
Shao Xunmei sat on the edge of the mahogany table with the medicine in her hand, and didn't get up to greet him, but just took the medicine bowl and turned slightly to watch his tall figure walk in from outside.
Before Shao Xunmei could say anything, she saw that the man had already come to his side in three or two steps, looked at her and asked, "Is your body better?" Can you eat? β
Shao Xunmei nodded, and while drinking the medicine, she replied, "Well, it's much better!" Just finished eating. β
And Li Rongxu frowned with some disgust at her behavior of talking while drinking medicine: "Speak after drinking the medicine." β
Didn't you ask? You are a prince, I can't answer quickly!
Li Rongxu took the warm water in Xiangzhi's hand, looked at the two of them, full of oppression, and his voice was deep: "You two go down first!" β
The two glanced at Shao Xunmei and went down respectfully.
After Shao Xunmei drank the medicine, the man stuffed the water by the way, and after Shao Xunmei drank a few mouthfuls and rinsed his mouth, he looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Li Rongxi looked at her, this morning's pale face has been filled with some blood, although her face is still a little bad, and even because she has been lying down for a long time, she has only washed her face, and she has not even put on her clothes, she is just wearing a lilac-colored Ruyi pattern brocade wide-sleeved shirt outside, and the whole person is lazy and soft and sickly.
The sun shone in obliquely through the window lattice, and the messy strands of hair could be counted at all, and even the green veins under the skin on her face could be clearly seen.
And he couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, and then retracted his hand again, "Well, my face is much better." Because he was too fast, Shao Xunmei didn't even have time to dodge.
Then his voice was as flat as before: "You know everything that happened in the Ningguo Mansion!" β
Shao Xunmei nodded, without any emotion: "Well, I know." β
Li Rongxi also looked unfazed and said: "Well, this king said hello when he went this morning, saying that it is inconvenient for you to go over when you are sick in bed." So, you have a good rest! β
The attitude of the two of them talking about this matter is also very weird and weird, as if it is just an ordinary thing, and Li Rongxi is even more indifferent and calm to Shao Xunmei, the daughter from the Duke's Mansion, who heard about this, without crying tears, let alone grief and sadness, without feeling surprised and weird, and didn't even ask. Because, he knew everything and knew the reason why she didn't want to see Ning Guogong.
It's just that he will know if Shao Xunmei will not treat him and reject him because of these things? Or do you know and pretend not to know? If that's the case, it's really thick-skinned, but it's really hypocritical.
Indeed, since the news of the Ningguo Mansion was released, all those who were related to the Ningguo Mansion in the capital rushed over to the funeral, except for those who could not arrive after leaving the capital for a while.
And Shao Xunmei, as the daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, naturally had to rush over early, but she didn't show up.
Not only did it not appear, but he didn't even know the news, which seemed too much to say from the outside.
And in view of the relationship between King Li Rongxi and the Ningguo Mansion, he would naturally rush over early.
Therefore, it is normal for him to explain the reason for her.
Shao Xunmei heard this, without a look of gratitude: "Well, thank you." "What does this have to do with her? Well, it's their funeral, and she doesn't plan to show up!
Speaking of this, she got up, her body was a little soft, and her spirit was still a little tired: "You go and get busy, I'll lie down again." β
Speaking of this, she suddenly turned her head, as if she remembered something, and said by the way: "By the way, I heard that my mother-in-law's mother-in-law's Anhou Mansion was actually baptized in blood, do you know about this?" β
Shao Xunmei asked lightly, and then she stared at Li Rongxi's expressionless face, but unfortunately, she didn't see any of her hopeful expressions from his expression, and he said lightly: "Well, if this matter is normal, it will really be a big event that shocks the government and the opposition." But on His Majesty's birthday, nothing is a big deal. I can only hope that the Criminal Department will solve the case as soon as possible. β
Shao Xunmei somehow, a chill and fear rose in her heart!
And she tried her best to control this feeling, the expression on her face was very light, and she said: "Well, that's true, but it's too bloody and cruel." "Human life, the lives of more than a hundred innocent people, in the eyes of these superiors, are they so insignificant, like ants? What a world!
And Li Yongxi saw her tightly frowned eyebrows, and found that she didn't look at him when she said this, as if it was just an evaluation.
Perhaps it was their actions that angered someone and caused such a disaster. Okay, don't think about it, princess, take care of your illness. This king has something to come back late tonight, so I won't come to see you. β
Shao Xunmei said that she heard it in her ears and nodded.
Li Rongxi also helped her into the inner room, and when she held her cold hand, she couldn't help but want to give her more warmth, but Shao Xunmei said in a faint voice: "Lord Wang, you hurt me." β
Li Rongxi let go of her hand, helped her to the bed and covered her with a quilt, looking virtuous and considerate, and finally put down the tent for her before leaving!
And Shao Xunmei only seeped up after he left, and in an instant, this coldness covered her whole body, making her whole body cold and stiff, and finally she even buried her whole person in the quilt, and even had a feeling of suffocation gasping for breath.
It took a long time for her to calm her violent heartbeat with her hands, but she couldn't sleep at all. However, from beginning to end, she just covered her head with a quilt and shrunk herself into a ball, as if this made herself safer, as if this dark world was her warm harbor. (To be continued.) )
