Chapter 279: Assassination?
"How?" Fang Xiaoyu fiddled with the crystal clear teacups on the table. This is sent by the queen, saying that it is a tribute from other countries, a total of ten, in fact, it is the glass of later generations, but the glass is placed in such an era, it is really a bit eye-catching.
Others are all fresh, but the usefulness is secondary, the queen thought that Fang Xiaoyu had never seen this thing, so she ordered someone to send one over, and she also saw that the queen was still very interested in the other party's smile. After all, the energy represented behind Fang Xiaoyu should not be underestimated, which is one of the keys to victory for the crown prince.
"Got it." Sizhu held a piece of jade pendant with red silk in his hand, shook it, and said, "This jade looks very precious, but there are also people who are willing to give her such good things." ”
"After all, as a prince, what good things can't you get? If a piece of jade can buy a heart, it is more cost-effective than buying and selling. Fang Xiaoyu smiled, and Yu Pei smiled.
"It seems that she really likes that Ye Shucheng likes and can't extricate herself, she has always carried this jade close to her, if it weren't for the people we planted in Ye Xiqian, they would always see her jade and feel strange when they see her, I'm afraid there is no such harvest." Ink Mark also smiled.
"What's going on over there?" Fang Xiaoyu glanced out the window, his gaze seemed to be a little confused.
Mo Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know what he said to Ye Shilan, Ye Shilan didn't seem to continue to investigate, and the two left." ”
"Miss, then Ye Shilan is reluctant to move, do we have to wait all the time?" Sizhu seemed a little impatient.
"Wait?" Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled: "I don't have that patience. ”
"Then Miss has a way?" Sizhu's eyes lit up.
"The medicinal properties of that ecstasy grass are very useful, I heard that Ye Shilan has been having nightmares recently. I'm afraid it's ready to be broken at any time. Do you want to add another handful of firewood? Inkmark had to sigh. Ji Xiaolu is the best at using poison, and this ecstasy grass is made into spices. can already make people uneasy, and when the young lady saw Ye Shilan before, she gave her a lot of hints.
Don't look at Ye Shilan's spirit now, but in fact, she has been tormented by nightmares. As soon as I saw her, I knew that if it weren't for the veil and mask, I am afraid that she would be decadent at this moment.
The betrayal of loved ones, the haunting of nightmares, the enemies are looking around and watching from the side. Coupled with the provocation of the young lady and the pressure on the future, it is enough to crush a person's will.
Ye Shilan is just struggling to support it now.
What they lacked was nothing more than the straw that broke the camel's back.
"This. Isn't that the last firewood? Fang Xiaoyu pointed to the jade pendant in Sizhu's hand.
She didn't catch Zhuang Yue for fun. Because she needed something from Zhuang Yue's body. Anything is fine, as long as someone recognizes it.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yue was very cooperative, and Yu Pei never left her every day. Many people in Ye Xiqian's courtyard have seen this thing, but they just see that there is variegated color in this jade. I thought it wasn't a good thing. But Fang Xiaoyu could recognize it at a glance, the bloodshot jade in this white bi was a good rouge blood. It's priceless, and not everyone can wear it. Zhuang Yue was ostensibly from a peasant family, but how could a peasant woman have such a beautiful jade. And if there is such a good jade, how can the family live a tight life and be sold to the palace as a maid?
Zhuang Yue naturally doesn't do anything, and always hangs this jade pendant outside for people to see. It's just that she likes the person who gave her this jade pendant too much, so she always takes it out and looks at it when no one is around. I often think that the person is distracted, so I have been seen by others a few times.
That's proof enough. Zhuang Yue was actually not a qualified secret guard, not only was she swayed by personal feelings, but even when she was too distracted, she didn't even notice the gaze projected from elsewhere.
This is simply irresponsible.
It's just that there are many women who are in love, not to mention that her status with Ye Shucheng is not equal at all, so she naturally suffers from gains and losses. In addition, Ye Shucheng gave her to Ye Xiqian, not only to pretend to be his maid, but also to be played with by her as a concubine, always thinking about what her status was in Ye Shucheng's heart, and the heart of gain and loss was even heavier.
If Ye Shucheng knew that Zhuang Yue was such an unbearable person, he would have been executed as a waste long ago.
It's just that Fang Xiaoyu did a good deed and helped him, so that he wouldn't bother to kill Zhuang Yue again.
Miss didn't know, that Zhuang Yue was shocked when she learned that Miss was going to kill her, she was afraid that she thought that Miss wanted to find out the depth of Ye Shucheng from her mouth, and she gritted her teeth loyally. It's a pity that the young lady is not ready to listen to anything from her mouth at all, and this gap can make her speechless. Sizhu thought of Zhuang Yue's expression and felt funny.
Although I don't know why Miss seems to know everything about the second prince Ye Shucheng, but Miss doesn't play cards according to the routine, no wonder Zhuang Yue was dumbfounded.
Fang Xiaoyu put the glass on his fingers, and even used the force of his fingertips to make the cup spin, and then said with a smile: "Send Zhuang Yue's corpse to Ye Shucheng, his favorite concubine should always have a decent grave." ”
"Miss, don't laugh, with the heart of the second prince, I know that she has ruined his business, don't say give her a grave, it would be merciful not to drag her out to feed the dogs." Sizhu disagreed. followed the young lady to fight against Ye Shucheng, and she knew a lot about this for His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
On the surface, he looks gentle and polite, and he looks like a dog, but in fact, behind his back, he is a sinister and cunning master who will repay him.
He has no mercy on his subordinates. He treats everyone as a pawn, and he himself is the one who holds the chessboard.
On a certain level, it is called the true character of the hero, but it is a pity that this is not an era of war, and there is no part of the rise of the hero!
It was late at night, but Ye Shilan couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Thinking of Ye Xiqian's almost crazy obsession, she felt that the blood in her body seemed to freeze into ice, revealing a biting cold.
"Treasure Candle! Treasure Candle! Ye Shilan screamed according to the head of the shareholder, and the maid Bao Candle immediately entered the back room, and said with a worried face: "Miss can't sleep again?" ”
"It hurts a lot. I went to Guanyue Nunnery to ask for incense and candles, but there are still left? Ye Shilan didn't get up, but just pressed her hands on her temples. His face was full of pain.
"There are still two left, and the slave and maid Ming'er will ask for some more. Mademoiselle has been slept lately, and this spice can calm her nerves. It's good to have more. Bao Candle's face was worried.
"Put those two fulcrums on the spot first, and tomorrow you and Cong Zhu will go to the Moon Nunnery to ask for some back. When I feel uneasy, I always feel unrefreshed. Ye Shilan looked tired.
"Yes, miss, the slave will go and get it." Bao Zhu hurriedly ran to the outer room, took the spices wrapped in silk cloth into the inner room, and lit them with the flames on the candles. Sprinkled in the incense burner, the room was suddenly filled with a fresh fragrance, which made people relax their nerves.
"Miss. The spices have been lit for you, so don't think about it, Miss, let's rest. Bao Zhu frowned involuntarily.
"Got it, you go down to sleep first." Ye Shilan waved her hand. Signal the candle to stand down.
The treasure candle doesn't say much. Turning around and going out of the house and closing the door, shielding her sneer from the door between the inner room and the outer room, Ye Shilan didn't notice anything unusual.
Ye Shilan never suspected that Bao Candle would betray her, Bao Candle was found for her by her mother when she was eleven years old, and she has always grown up with her, they are her personal maids and her henchmen. But she ignored the world. The human heart is the most unpredictable, and interests and temptations will make a person take risks, just to see if the temptation is big enough.
Bao Zhu is not as loyal as Lu Yuan, and she only sees her status as a maid as a job.
Ye Shilan used to be a weak little flower who grew in a greenhouse and had never seen wind and waves, and was used to being used to Li Suqing and An Wang not knowing the height of the sky, no wonder Ye Xiqian always felt that she was stupid and easy to use.
In addition, Ye Shilan's temper is by no means good, although she does not beat and scold them at every turn, but she always scolds them when she is angry, and Bao Zhu has always been resentful.
Therefore, her betrayal can be said to be without any obstacles, and it is a matter of course.
With the help of spices, Ye Shilan finally fell asleep, but she didn't sleep well, and the scene in the nightmare came again.
The next morning, she woke up from her dream. Looking at the sky, it was already half bright, but the sore head had not weakened in the slightest, and she had to get up slowly and pour herself a glass of water, trying to sober up her already chaotic brain.
Lu Yuan knew that Miss had been sleeping unsteadily lately, and she was bored with food, and often ate two bites, so she put down her chopsticks and stopped moving.
Lu Yuan entered the house with the food, and saw Ye Shilan sitting quietly on the chair, still holding the teacup in her hand, but the teacup was not tea, but water, she hated the bitter taste of the tea.
"Miss, let's eat something." Lu Yuan handed the food to Ye Shilan's eyes, but Ye Shilan waved her hand and said, "Let it go, I have no appetite." ”
"Miss, if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat some, if Miss's body is dragged down, who should take care of Madame?" Lu Yuan felt sorry for Ye Shilan who had changed from a carefree child to such a look overnight, if it wasn't for the accident with Mrs., and the murderer was still the young master, why would Miss be so hit?
Ye Shilan seemed to be on her mind, and said with a wry smile: "Yes." That Fang smiled and wished that his mother would die early, and his father was fascinated by Su Hongsilk and didn't know the north and south, in this mansion, my mother only had me and my brother to rely on, but Ye Xiqian actually did something to hurt his mother in a frenzy. What should my mother do if something happens to me again? ”
Ye Shilan picked up the chopsticks and put a few chopsticks into the bowl, although she had no appetite, she also forced herself to eat a few bites.
I still didn't eat much, but at least I ate it. This made Lu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lu Yuan, how many years have you been with me?" At this time, Ye Shilan suddenly asked.
Before Lu Yuan could answer, Ye Shilan said again: "You have been following me since I was five years old, and you have been following me for more than ten years. Because you use your hand, over the years, I always feel that I can't leave you, so I didn't give you a home, so you have been ruined until now. ”
"Miss, if the slave doesn't marry, the slave and the maid will accompany the young lady and serve the young lady. As long as the young lady still needs the slave, the slave will always be by your side. Lu Yuan didn't know why Miss suddenly mentioned this, she always had some bad premonitions in her heart.
"You're so big, I've delayed you for so many years, and if you don't get married, it's not easy to marry." Ye Shilan shook her head with a smile, her expression full of exhaustion.
"It's better if you can't get married, and the slave doesn't want to marry yet." Lu Yuan bit her lip, a little aggrieved.
"Stupid words. In this life, a woman will find someone who knows pain and heat to take care of her. Don't be like your mother, in the end she is just a concubine, if you lose the favor of your father, you won't even have a guarantee, and you will be tired and tired......" Ye Shilan choked up and couldn't speak.
She looked at Lu Yuan's firm face, and said with a smile: "Lu Yuan, it's time for you to get married." ”
"If the slave doesn't marry, she will accompany the young lady!" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, and the determination in his eyes became stronger.
"Lu Yuan, it's time for you to get married. Treasure candles, too. I'll keep an eye out for you. Ye Shilan's tone must not be violated.
"Slaves don't marry!" Lu Yuan didn't know why there was an evil fire in her chest, and she didn't even dare to look at the young lady's eyes, so she ran out angrily.
She always had some bad premonitions in her heart, and she always felt that Miss's words were like explaining what was going on. In addition, the young lady has not been able to eat and sleep recently, and the whole person has been subjected to a circle, and her face is full of tiredness every day, so she feels even more uneasy.
At this time, it is when the young lady needs her, how can she leave the young lady and run to get married?
Without their accustomed servants, they have changed to new maids, if they don't understand Miss's preferences and neglect Miss, wouldn't this make Miss's situation even worse?
Lu Yuan ran out and stopped for a long time, all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and it was irritable.
She was about to turn around and go back, and beg the young lady not to marry her off, at least not now, but as soon as she turned around, she heard the voice of someone talking, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the princess with the maid, scattered in the garden.
She was refreshed when she saw Fang Xiaoyu talking and laughing, and then thought about her young lady's haggard appearance, and her heart was secretly angry.
It's all strange Fang Xiao, if she hadn't provoked the relationship between the young lady and the young master, why would the young lady be like this!
She subconsciously hid behind a tree, not wanting Fang Xiaoyu to see her.
She is a little maid, how can she have any ability to fight against the princess. But that doesn't stop her from hating her!
But as soon as she was about to turn away again, she saw her
[It's too late, there are still dozens of words left.] I sent it first. If you refresh it when you see this, it should have been changed. I'm sorry. 】――
