Chapter 240: Assassins?
couldn't stand Ye Shilan's pleading, King An finally spoke, allowing Li Suqing to go back to his courtyard for dinner, but the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall became grounded, and the time was still three days, and King An felt that this was already his favor.
King An consciously has affection for Li Suqing, although he accepted Su Hongsilk as a concubine, but after all, he has shared the same bed for so many years, how can this relationship be lost and lost without nostalgia?
However, Li Suqing's stupid actions again and again disappointed him.
Whether it was arguing with him to prevent him from including red silk in the house, or sending someone to ruin red silk's chastity, or making unreasonable requests such as asking red silk to give her tea, and even giving him no face again and again, he ruthlessly consumed the rest of his feelings for her.
Now when Li Suqing's three words are mentioned, he is only irritable in his heart, how can he still have a little warmth in the past? Whenever he wanted to find a step for her to go down, she always didn't appreciate it, and threw her face at him again and again.
However, he liked the pair of children she gave birth to for him, although they were concubines, they were far more fond of Ye Xici, the sister-in-law that Jian An gave birth to for him. Therefore, whether it is Xiqian or Shilan, they all cry and wipe their tears to intercede for Li Suqing, can he be soft-hearted?
It's just that if you make a mistake, you have to be punished, although you don't have to kneel in the cold ancestral hall, but the necessary grounding is a must, otherwise if there is no punishment, let her think that she can be easily forgiven for doing something wrong, she will only get worse in the future, and she will only suffer Su Hongsilk.
It's a pity that Ye Shilan pleaded for Li Suqing, Li Suqing didn't know from beginning to end, not to mention that Ye Xiqian told such a lie. Li Suqing is also very cold to Ye Shilan in her heart.
Li Suqing didn't know that it was precisely because of such a misunderstanding that Ye Xiqian, a-stirring stick, was there. will make the rift between her and Ye Shilan more and more intense, and finally put a piece of her hard work in vain.
After Li Suqing left the ancestral hall, Ye Xici reappeared from the shadows, and after confirming that there was indeed no one around, she carefully pulled out a folded paper from the groove under Jian An's spiritual tablet.
The creases of the paper were no different from before, which made Ye Xici feel a little reassured. When the paper was opened, it was a little crooked, but Juanxiu's handwriting could still be seen.
If you look closely. You can see some blurred ink in the middle and bottom of the paper, as if it is soaked in tears, and the heavy ink marks at the end seem to tell the painful feelings of the person who wrote the letter.
Ye Xici looked at him in a daze, his eyes were complicated. He was indeed relieved. Because the thing is still there, and it's not a fake. He has stayed by his side for more than ten years, and he knows at a glance whether it is true or false every day.
But at the same time, he felt very uncomfortable. Every time I see the contents of the letter. The tears that had dried up. The heavy anger that seemed to vent everything, the thick intolerance and despair between the lines, were like sharp golden stones, tearing his nerves fiercely, so that after so many years, he still couldn't let go, couldn't forgive his weakness and inability.
He refolded the paper neatly like a devout believer, because he was afraid that it would not be safe. Instead of putting the paper back in its place, he carefully placed it in his arms. Then he turned around and left the ancestral hall.
When he returned to Qingliangyuan, Fang Xiaoyu had already set up a meal and was waiting for him, as if he knew that he was going to come back.
A moment of guilt flashed in Ye Xici's eyes, and he said softly: "It's cold at night, put on more clothes." ”
"It's warm in the house, come in and warm up." Fang Xiaoyu reached out and scooped a bowl of soup and put it in front of Ye Xici, just smiling, but didn't ask a word.
"I went to the ancestral hall." Ye Xici said. He thought, these things can't hide from the woman in front of him. He thought that if she asked, she would simply tell everything and never hide the so-called secret again. No matter what happens in the future, everything he will accept with all sincerity.
"I know." Fang Xiaoyu really didn't have a trace of surprise. With the ink marks they are here, there are very few secrets for her in this An Wangfu. What's more, Ye Xici didn't hide his whereabouts in the first place, and it was never difficult to find out where he was.
"You don't want to ask me what I'm doing in the ancestral hall?" Ye Xici stared at Fang Xiaoyu's face without any desire to learn, and the fact that he had made up his mind to say made him retreat again.
He was too greedy for the beauty of the present. He was very afraid, afraid that all the truth would be revealed, and such days would shatter into bubbles in an instant, and he would no longer be able to piece together the appearance of happiness.
"You won't really humiliate Li Suqing? Lord Shizi, we are all elegant people, don't do what only those shrews in the market do, so as not to lose your identity. Fang Xiaoyu seemed to have made up her mind, pretending to be confused to the end.
Ye Xici couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to drink soup to hide the wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
"There's a lot of soup in the kitchen, if you like the taste, just put another bowl, you don't have to lick the bowl so clean, your face is buried in it." Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xici who buried her face in the bowl with some concern, but what she was worried about at the moment was not Ye Xici but the bowl.
Ye Xici was almost choked, but it was undeniable that his mood was indeed much better.
For many years, the person who can heal the coldness in his heart has only been Fang Xiaoyu since the death of his mother. Although this person is not gentle or skilled, he is proficient in knives, guns and sticks, and he is not soft in beating and killing, even if it is comforting, it is all with thorns, but he just eats this set, as long as he listens to her and sees her laughing, his mood can miraculously calm down.
"How? Then Li Suqing was wronged, but did he complain to his ancestors? Without a curse, Su Hongsilk can't die well? Didn't curse you and me? Fang Xiaoyu saw Ye Xici have a smile, although this smile is an embarrassing smile, but it is better than pretending to be a rainy day doll with a bitter face, so he hurriedly found a topic to talk about.
Ye Xici suddenly remembered Li Suqing's almost hysterical shout in the ancestral hall, a touch of contemplation flashed on his face, and the other party said with a smile: "What did you say to Li Suqing?" ”
"What did you say?" Fang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, not understanding why Ye Xici's suddenly deep face was the reason.
Ye Xici also felt that he was in the clouds, and he could more or less understand how Li Suqing's jealousy of his mother broke. also understands where Li Suqing's resentful, angry but envious entanglement in the face of her mother comes from. But when she said Fang Xiaoyu's words, she had to give up something, which made him a little concerned.
According to what Li Suqing said to Ye Xiqian, all her recent abnormal behaviors are to leave a way back for Ye Xiqian and Ye Shilan. But what does this back road refer to? It was because she betrayed Ye Shucheng and Zhou Guifei. Reached a deal with someone else to save her children?
And who is that other person? What kind of agreement was reached to make Li Suqing do all kinds of stupid things to deliberately anger his father?
This other person, will it be a joke?
But seeing Fang Xiaoyu's innocent expression, he didn't dare to be sure.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't know what to say at all, and mentioning Li Suqing was just looking for some topics to cover up the originally dull atmosphere.
Ye Xici told Fang Xiaoyu the conversation between Li Suqing and Ye Xiqian that he overheard outside the ancestral hall, as well as the words she shouted and yelled at her mother's spiritual position after Ye Xiqian left, but in exchange for Fang Xiaoyu's expression.
Fang Xiaoyu really didn't remember what she said to Li Suqing, which caused Li Suqing to often make all kinds of abnormal behaviors recently. Although she and Li Suqing have never spoken a few times at all. Even if they did, they were just threats, not nutritious.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't believe that some non-nutritional threats could really make a wicked person change his ways. She doesn't think she's that great. may become a guiding light for a bad person, illuminating her way forward to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, after all, she is not a real Buddha girl.
If the bad guys had changed their minds and become new people so easily, the world would have been peaceful long ago.
But Li Suqing's words seemed to really mean something.
Suppose it was really one of her words that caused Li Suqing's behavior today. The clue that can be found is that Li Suqing seems to be bored with herself as a pawn of others.
Perhaps she realized the ultimate consequences of being a pawn. Then she thought that once she lost her effect, in addition to being killed, her own children would also be killed. After all, although I don't know how much Ye Xiqian and Ye Shilan know about Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng, after all, they have always acted according to Li Suqing's words, so a long time ago, they had already chosen to stand on Ye Shucheng's chariot.
And if Li Suqing knows too much about the identities of Ye Shucheng and Zhou Guifei, whether it is successful or not. She may have no choice but to be wiped out. If she wants to leave a way back for her children, then she needs to find another way to go. Even if the road is full of thorns, it even requires her to pay some price.
However, what made Fang Xiaoyu strange was what this matter had to do with her, from Ye Xici's dictation of what Li Suqing said to Princess An's spiritual seat in the ancestral hall, the Princess An she mentioned found someone to scare her The 'person' in her should be good. After all, the title of daughter-in-law is not something that anyone can afford.
Fang Xiaoyu thought hard, the scenes of meeting or talking to Li Suqing alone flashed in her mind one by one, she tried to find out if she really said something that could stimulate Li Suqing, but she didn't have the slightest impression worth remembering.
What Fang Xiaoyu didn't know was that what she said at the beginning was just an addiction to the other party, giving the other party a little psychological pressure, and even she didn't take it too seriously, and she didn't think that such an innocuous sentence could really make Li Suqing feel scared and desperate, so she forgot about it herself after she finished speaking, so that now she deliberately thinks about it, but she still can't remember anything. But that sentence became an opportunity for Li Suqing to get rid of Zhou Guifei. Although she knew very well that she had to pay some price as a betrayer, for the sake of her children, this woman who had done all the evil things finally understood the meaning of compromise.
"I can't remember." Fang Xiaoyu gave up halfway through the thought. She really couldn't remember any of that impression.
"If you can't remember, forget it. If the person she says is really you, she will come into contact with you sooner or later. If Li Suqing really turned against Zhou Guifei, maybe she would be a useful chess piece. Ye Xici seemed to have some vague thoughts.
"The end of the chess piece is still the chess piece. How easy is it to get out of the game? Not to mention that Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng will definitely not allow it, if she wants to get out of the chessboard, she must borrow the hand of the other party to defeat the side she originally belonged to, only when the chess game is won or lost, the chess pieces can leave the chessboard. Fang Xiaoyu smiled with a little more sarcasm, and said: "She is tired of being a pawn of Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng, and wants to leave the chessboard and live a life like a stone, but if this is the case, she will inevitably have to pay some price that may be very heavy." ”
"It's not hard to save her children. It's up to her to pay the price that might not be able to be afforded. The corners of Fang Xiaoyu's mouth raised a somewhat cruel arc, and he sneered in his heart.
Want her to let her go? That's impossible. Although Princess An's death did not have the most intuitive impression on her, it was an indelible pain for Ye Xici.
Zhou Ling and Ye Shucheng are certainly the culprits, but is the chess piece who personally executed this plan more innocent than the mastermind behind the scenes?
Li Suqing is going to die. This is the price she needs to pay for killing Princess Ann.
However, if she really wants to find a way out for Ye Shilan and Ye Xiqian to get rid of the identity of chess pieces, it may not be impossible.
It depends on what level of price Li Suqing can pay for her children, which will directly determine what kind of fate Ye Xiqian and Ye Shilan will get.
Ye Xici and Fang Xiaoyu finished their meals thoughtfully, and before the meal was served, they heard what seemed to be a noisy sound in the courtyard, as well as King An's roar, and the entire King An Mansion could hear it clearly.
"What happened?" Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Xici, and at this time, Xie Yu hurriedly pushed the door in, and said, "Miss, uncle, the prince asked you to come over." ”
"He called us, and it must be no good." Ye Xi snorted coldly, it seems that he really doesn't have a good impression of King An at all.
"Do you know what's going on outside?" Fang Xiaoyu also frowned, it was obvious that she agreed with Ye Xici's statement very much.
"The slave maid heard that it seemed that there were assassins in the house, and Concubine Li was stabbed and seriously injured. The prince was furious and had to find out the murderer who assassinated Concubine Li. Xie Yu also came here after some understanding, which is what she must do as Fang Xiaoyu's maid.
"Li Suqing was assassinated?" Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici stared wide-eyed.
Said that there were assassins in the house? She transferred the people of the Moon Shadow Division to secretly monitor the every move of the people in King An's mansion, what kind of assassin could go in and assassinate Li Suqing in the hands of the Moon Shadow Division's gang? (To be continued.) )
