Chapter Ninety-Nine: Princess Li's Assassination
Hearing Princess Yong'an's voice, Lao Xuefen immediately rushed over, "Mother...... You don't even know how much your daughter was wronged just now! Mother, you have to make decisions for Xuefen, you are the one who loves Xuefen the most......"
Princess Yong'an smiled and comforted Lao Xuefen, "With your temper, who would dare to let you be wronged?" Okay, don't pretend, whoever makes you angry you get it back yourself, I'll give you a few good subordinates and it's not a decoration! β
Scold...... Everyone was amazed again at this Yong'an princess's method of raising children, Lao Xuefen was already so domineering, and instead of dissuading her, Princess Yong'an asked her to get it back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoIf this continues, can this Lao Xuefen still have a good one?
As soon as she heard Princess Yong'an say this, Lao Xuefen suddenly had the strength, but she didn't really do it herself, but pulled Princess Yong'an to point at Wang Shaomei's side, and then pointed at Xi Cui, and said, "Mother, that is Wang Xuemei, the eldest lady of Wang Shangshu's family, she just helped Xi Cui, who was born as a cheap maid standing beside her, to accuse me!" Xi Cui is the I told you about seducing Nangong Yufeng! Now he was married to Nangong Yufeng by the emperor's cousin! β
"Oh......?" Princess Yong'an looked at this side along Lao Xuefen's fingers, but her eyes fell on Princess Chaoyang first, and then nodded to her. Then he looked at Wang Shaomei, and finally looked at Xi Cui. She beckoned to Xi Cui and motioned for Xi Cui to come over.
Li Xiang pulled Xi Cui's hand with some hesitation, but was stopped by Xi Cui. Giving her a reassuring look, Xi Cui lowered her head and slowly moved forward.
Princess Chaoyang was beside Xi Cui, and she overtook Xi Cui in three or two steps and sat on the seat of Princess Yong'an. And that Lao Xuefen didn't even think about it, and sat on the seat left by Princess Yong'an to the queen mother. Princess Chaoyang looked at her in surprise, but Princess Yong'an continued to look in Xi Cui's direction as if she hadn't seen it at all.
Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Lixiang had to retreat quietly, she had to find a way to find Nangong Yufeng to come over, otherwise Princess Yong'an would spoil Lao Xuefen, and she might not know what kind of crime Xi Cui would suffer.
Princess Chaoyang swept Lixiang's figure and disappeared, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she continued to watch the play quietly.
Xi Cui walked about five steps away from Princess Yong'an and stopped, bowed her head, and bowed her head.
Princess Yong'an was startled when she saw Xi Cui understanding etiquette like this, and the corners of her mouth raised a small curve, seemingly smiling, but not smiling. "You're Xi Cui?"
"Yes......" Xi Cui bowed his head in response.
"I still know how to be polite. Raise your head and let the palace take a look...... "I don't know why, although Xi Cui in the audience stood there with her head bowed and respectful, she always vaguely felt that this thin body revealed a sense of arrogance. It feels very much like Mrs. Huai'an Hou back then, that woman used to stand at her feet like this, but she could never use her identity to overwhelm her.
Xi Cui raised her head slowly......
The legendary Princess Yong'an she finally saw, the woman sitting on the high place in front of her, about forty years old, her complexion was not as fair as an ordinary lady, but a little malted black and yellow, such a complexion made her whole person look a little more sharp, which was the color extracted from the sword light and sword shadow on the battlefield. But what attracted Xi Cui the most was her eyes, Princess Yong'an's eyes were very beautiful, they were the kind of standard peach blossom eyes, and she always felt that she had seen these eyes somewhere. A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes reflected a sharp edge, which made Xi Cui feel awe, but couldn't help but want to look at it again.
At the same time, Princess Yongan was also looking at Xi Cui, with a very white little face, who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but she didn't feel as innocent as ordinary teenage girls. Especially those eyes, as if they could see through everything. Even now smiling has given people an unfathomable feeling, it is too similar, in addition to the appearance of this Xi Cui in front of him, whether it is temperament or demeanor, it is surprisingly similar to Huai'an Hou back then!
Princess Yong'an couldn't help but clench the scepter in her hand, and the cold touch reminded her of the current situation, and the woman standing in the audience was not the woman who had always appeared in her dreams since the extinction of the Huai'an Hou Mansion.
Lao Xuefen looked looking forward to watching the show, Princess Chaoyang saw that Princess Yongan seemed to be trying to restrain something, and reached out and touched Princess Yongan's arm, "Auntie, the matter just now is actually a misunderstanding, this Xi Cui is Nangong Yufeng's fiancΓ©e, let's not ruin the relationship between the two families because of a few quarrels." Princess Chaoyang said this, but Xi Cui clearly heard Xiao Yi tell her that Princess Chaoyang's inner thoughts were that today can be regarded as a small gain, and at this time, she should accept it when she sees it, so as not to make a big fuss when she gets it, but it will arouse the suspicion of the Lao family's father and son!
Princess Yong'an seemed to understand what Chaoyang meant, and after glancing at Xi Cui for a few moments, she turned back to Lao Xuefen and said, "I think this girl is quiet and quiet, not like someone who will bully you, right?" You can't bully others with my love for you! In my opinion, you and the girl of the Wang family are both a little temperamental, and they have a few words against each other, and you see that Miss Wang is not easy to mess with, so you sprinkle the fire on Miss Xicui, right? Speaking of which, Princess Yong'an didn't care about Lao Xuefen's angry appearance, and forced Lao Xuefen on the chair with her hand, and whispered to her, "You forgot what your father said to you when he let you out?" Now that this Nangong Yufeng is favored in front of the emperor, do you have to offend him at this time? Do you know how much trouble this will cause your father and your brother? β
Although Lao Xuefen has a stomach full of resentment, she can't express it, and Princess Yong'an is right, Uncle Lao Guo's father and son have mentioned it in front of her more than once. It seems that for the sake of now, she can only endure this breath.
Seeing that Lao Xuefen's face softened, Princess Yong'an let go, Lao Xuefen breathed a long sigh of relief, glared at Xi Cui, and said, "Today I let you go for the sake of Nangong Yufeng's face, but you should be careful in the future, don't let Miss Ben catch another chance!" Hum! β
Xi Cui ignored Lao Xuefen, saluted the two princesses, and said, "Xi Cui thanked the two princesses. β
Princess Yongan smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, you go back and sit down, today is the big day of Keqin and Chaoyang, Xuefen's child is not sensible, so don't worry about her......"
Xi Cui nodded, retreated to her seat and was just about to sit down, when she heard a rush of footsteps, she instinctively looked for Lixiang to ask, but found that Lixiang had long since disappeared.
Just as he was about to ask Wang Shaomei where Lixiang went, she heard Nangong Yufeng's cold voice, "Nangong Yufeng meets the two princesses!" β
Princess Chaoyang looked at Lixiang who was following behind Nangong Yufeng, and was not surprised by his arrival, and Princess Yongan didn't show anything, just smiled and helped Nangong Yufeng to get up. But Lao Xuefen, who was sitting in the innermost, looked extremely excited, she hadn't seen Nangong Yufeng for several months, she didn't expect this man to become more and more handsome, even now with a gloomy face, it still looks so fascinating.
After Nangong Yufeng stood still, he didn't look at Lao Xuefen, who was a nymphomaniac against him, his eyes swept over the audience and everyone finally saw Xi Cui's figure, and after making sure that Xi Cui was fine, he put his mind at ease, and asked Lixiang to go back to Xi Cui's side, and smiled at Princess Yong'an, "The princess hasn't changed much over the years!" If I see my mother, I don't know how to be jealous of you......"
Xi Cui was glanced at by Nangong Yufeng, and for some reason, his face turned feverish. Wang Shaomei was still teasing her on the side, which made Xi Cui even more embarrassed.
But when she heard Nangong Yufeng talk about Princess Li, she couldn't help but be clever. Princess! That's right, Princess! Didn't that Mother Wang say that Duke Yong'an wanted to talk to the princess alone? Now that Princess Yongan has been sitting there for a long time, why hasn't she seen the princess?
Wang Shaomei saw that her face changed in shock, and she didn't know the reason, only because she was like this because of Nangong Yufeng, so she gently pushed Xi Cui's waist, "I was reluctant at the beginning, what's wrong now?" People just look at each other, and your heart follows up and down, right? β
Xi Cui didn't seem to hear her, and muttered, "Where is the princess?" The princess ......"
"Princess?" Wang Shaomei heard her say this, because she read it again, and suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you say that the princess was called by Princess Yong'an?" Princess Yong'an is here, where is the princess? β
"Yes, what about the princess?" Xi Cui stood up suddenly.
Although Nangong Yufeng was talking to Princess Yong'an, his eyes always swept over Xi Cui's side, Xi Cui stood up so violently, he immediately found out, and quickly twisted his head to Xi Cui. Seeing Xi Cui's panicked expression, he didn't care about any etiquette, so he turned around and walked towards Xi Cui's side.
The moment he turned around, Lao Xuefen let out an extremely suppressed complaint. Princess Chaoyang turned her gaze away, but she didn't know that the movement was too big, and she actually pulled out the tears in her eyes. Fortunately, everyone followed Nangong Yufeng's figure to look at Xi Cui's side.
Otherwise she would not have been able to hide this tear of embarrassment.
Princess Yong'an's two hands were divided to hold the two girls, one in each hand, and clenched it hard......
Without waiting for Nangong Yufeng to approach, Xi Cui greeted him, grabbed his hand, and raised his head with tears in his eyes, "What should I do?" Yu Feng, the princess doesn't know what's going on? β
"Don't panic, say slowly, what's wrong with the concubine?" Nangong Yufeng steadied her body while wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"After we entered the mansion, Princess Yong'an's mother called the princess away, saying that the princess wanted to talk to the princess alone, but Princess Yong'an was obviously already here, what about the princess?" Xi Cui grabbed Nangong Yufeng's arms hard.
"......" Nangong Yufeng ran to Princess Yong'an after listening to Xi Cui, knelt on the ground, and pulled Xi Cui to kneel down, "Dare to ask where the princess who has been with you is Mother Wang now?" β
"Mother Wang? She stopped following me two months ago, and when Uncle Guo saw that she was old, he arranged a well-taken Zhuangzi for her, and told her to take her sons and daughters to Zhuangzi. Why did you ask her in a good way? Princess Yong'an stood up as she spoke, holding Nangong Yufeng's shoulder, "Look at your kid, it's just to inquire about someone, as for kneeling down?" Come on, get up! β
"That's not right! Just now, my slave maid also said that Princess Li was taken away by the royal mother next to you, saying that you want to talk to the princess alone! Without waiting for Nangong Yufeng to speak, Princess Chaoyang got up in shock first.
"Could it be that your slave is mistaken? I haven't seen Mama Wang for a few days! Princess Yong'an saw that the panic on Princess Chaoyang's face was not fake, and Nangong Yufeng and Xi Cui didn't look like they were pretending. It seems that he is also a little anxious, so he hurriedly called someone to come over and inquire.
Princess Chaoyang didn't want to waste time here, so she hurriedly said, "Auntie, my slave is following me closely, and I will definitely not be wrong if I have seen that Wang mother more than once or twice before!" Xi Cui, that Mother Wang took people away in front of your eyes, do you know where they went? β
Xi Cui didn't bother to pay attention to the calculations in Princess Chaoyang's words at the moment, and directly pulled up Nangong Yufeng and was about to go out. Lixiang followed closely, seemingly comforting the two of them, but in fact, in response to Princess Chaoyang's words, the princess was taken away in front of Xi Cui, and said casually, "Girl, didn't you ask Yingxiang to follow the princess?" Yingxiang's skills are the best among our sisters, and with her, the princess shouldn't have an accident. β
"Don't talk about that yet, it's the right thing to find talent early." Xi Cui didn't care about talking to them at this time, and after saluting the two princesses, he pulled Yu Feng out of the courtyard.
Twisting back to the place where Mother Wang took away the princess, Xi Cui pointed to a vermilion wooden door in front of her, "That Mother Wang took the princess through that door." β
Nangong Yufeng protected Xi Cui behind him and walked in front, Lixiang followed behind, and the three of them were about to go in when they saw Duan San coming out of nowhere, grabbed Nangong Yufeng, and gasped, "Why did you come here?" I came out from the Third Prince to find most of your princess's mansion! β
Nangong Yufeng didn't have time to explain to him, so he just made a boo, and pushed the door open with a few people.
The courtyard was not large, and the main hall was facing them, and the door was open, and from here you could only see a few neatly arranged mahogany chairs and a few coffee tables, and it sounded like no one was inside.
Although there is a row of small houses on the left and right, they are all locked, and the rust on the lock must have been touched for a long time.
So they went up the stairs and into the main hall.
This hall is not big, and you can see it when you enter the door, but it is just the few chairs that I saw outside. There was a partition composed of a layer of bead curtains and screens on the left and right, so the four of them separated Yu Feng and took Xi Cui, and Duan San and Li Xiang spread out from the left and right respectively.
Yu Feng and Xi Cui were about to go inside, but they heard Lixiang shouting and found it.
So the two of them hurried to their side.
saw a middle-aged woman lying in front of Lixiang and Duan San, who seemed to be dead. Xi Cui walked over and saw that this person was the mother Wang. But Mother Wang died here, why didn't she see the princess?
Duan San looked at Nangong Yufeng, "I just died, and I felt like I was being kicked in my chest and didn't stand it." What are you looking for? β
Nangong Yufeng glared at Wang's mother's corpse hatefully and didn't speak, Lixiang quietly pulled Duan San's sleeve, pulled Duan San aside and whispered to him what happened.
Duan San took it to heart, lowered his head and examined the corpse again, and then went to look elsewhere.
Xi Cui saw that Nangong Yufeng had not spoken, knowing that he was anxious but couldn't find a way to comfort him, so he had to hold his hand tightly and whispered, "The princess will definitely be fine!" β
Who knew that as soon as Xi Cui's words fell, he heard a voice coming from above, as if it was the princess!
"Xi Cui! Is that you? Xi Cui! The voice trembled a little, and there was a crying tone.
"Mother!" Nangong Yufeng reacted quickly, jumped onto the beam, and the princess was really on it. At this moment, the princess's whole body was lying on the thickest beam, tied by a thin rope, her dress was stained with blood, and her hair was messy. As soon as she saw Nangong Yufeng, the princess immediately cried with joy, "Yufeng! You're finally here! β
Yu Feng pulled the rope and brought the princess down in two by three, and helped her sit down.
Xi Cui hurriedly knelt down, "Hurt the princess, Xi Cui's crime!" β
Only then did the princess look at her body, sighed and waved her hand to Xi Cui, "You get up, I'm not injured, this blood should be your maid's!" Oh, by the way, the secret door, there's a secret door over there, girl, and the little girl she's not outside, so it must be inside! Hurry up, help me up! β
The princess struggled to get up, trembling to a flower pot in the main hall, stretched out her hand to hold the flower pot, turned around twice, only to hear a sound, and a thin crack was opened in the wall next to it, and its width could only accommodate one person to pass through.
The princess pointed to the wall, "They tricked us here, and they wanted to coax me in, but the little girl pulled me in." So I told them to go in first, and said I would follow them. They refused, but two people went in and came to pull me. The little girl turned out to be good at kung fu, so she pushed the two people who followed me in while they weren't paying attention. Then he closed the secret door and took me away. Seeing that we couldn't stop us, the princess secretly approached the mechanism and opened the secret door, and the little girl kicked the old woman to death in a hurry, but was stabbed by a person who came out of it. I was trying to avoid their fight, I didn't know where I touched it, I fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself tied to a beam and couldn't move. I didn't dare to make a sound when I heard someone walking in the middle, I was afraid that it was still those villains, and I didn't dare to speak out until you came and I heard Xi Cui's voice...... Go and see if the little girl is still there. Just go! β
Lixiang looked at the blood stains on the princess's body, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she said in her heart, so much blood Yingxiang is afraid that she only has one breath left if she is alive.
Duan San leaned into the wall, and after a while, he came out with Yingxiang's body in his arms. Her white dress had long been dyed red, her hands and face were covered with blood, and she couldn't see the wounds or the whole skin. Xi Cui stepped forward to pull Yingxiang's hand but found that she seemed to be holding something in her hand, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a jade pendant, but unfortunately she couldn't see any identity of the killer from this jade pendant, because no matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary jade pendant. The texture is average, the carving is also average, and there is nothing special about the Buddha statue carved on it. Duan San said in a deep voice, "There is only Yingxiang's corpse inside, and there is nothing else, it seems that it has been cleaned up." β
Princess Li sat down in front of Yingxiang and stroked Yingxiang's face, "It turns out that this child's name is Yingxiang?" What a beautiful name! Who are these people? What a wickedness! β
At this moment, the outside door opened again, and many people came in, and the sound sounded like the courtyard of the house. (To be continued.) )
