Chapter 271: The Ring Quietly Swings Out
When Fang Xiaoyu returned to the palace, Ye Xici was no longer in the palace. asked the people in the lower mansion, only to know that Ye Xici left in a hurry, but he didn't know when it was for.
Ye Qiu and Ye Chan also left with Ye Xici, while Cang Meng finished his mission and returned to the Moon Shadow Division, waiting for Fang Xiaoyu's next order.
Fang Xiaoyu guessed that it was because the prince was looking for him to have something to do, so he didn't care much, but just ordered Moji and Sizhu to send people to investigate the news of the Quicksand Kingdom, the Dayu Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty and Mei Cangyun respectively.
It was impossible to organize Fang Jianzhang to go on an expedition. Just as the eldest princess was always anxious about this matter, she also had a faint premonition.
After telling everything to continue, she had a chance to relax herself, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart, so she couldn't stay quietly in the room to read a few books and drink a few teas, so she chose to go to the garden to see the flowers and trees, and find a peace for herself.
Mei Chunshui has been very busy recently, since Shen Shanruo's fame, the number of people who go to the Shen Family Medical Center for medical treatment has increased greatly, which makes Mei Chunshui not even have time to come to the palace to chat with her.
And Ye Xinrou gets along well with Cheng Yue, with the opposite sex and no humanity, Fang Xiaoyu doesn't even have to look for it, and she knows that she is definitely not in the palace at the moment.
Xiao Sixteen Ye Shuqing always wanted to run to the palace, but it was a pity that the queen mother found him a teacher. Although his reaction is always half a beat slower than others, he is not really a fool after all, he just learns slowly, but there are some things, as a prince. There's always something to learn.
Fang Xiaoyu found that she couldn't find someone to talk to her.
Naturally, she herself is not a person who likes to gather crowds. I tend to shy away from lively things, and only occasionally need to be lively, which is easy to activate my brain.
Fang Xiaoyu absentmindedly admired the flowers and plants in front of him, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind were mixed up, but he couldn't figure out a clue, and he couldn't find the key to straightening out this chaotic thought.
Feeling the sound of footsteps behind him, Fang Xiaoyu turned slightly to the side for half a moment. saw that it was Sun Guan who approached her cautiously, with a look of humility and flattery, and saw her turn around. There was even a slight fright, and then he handed her a letter and said: "The princess, this is the letter that the fifth prince asked the slave to hand to the princess, please take a look." ”
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Sun Guan lightly. This minion. In the past, he didn't have any respect for Ye Xici, but he knew how to look at people's faces and act, because she and Ye Xici's sudden toughness made him afraid, and because he knew that he could not replace Fu Lu's position in King An's mind no matter what, he began to think about the feasibility of taking refuge in him.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and took the letter. He didn't care about Sun Guan's character. The minions in these big families are often the ones who are high and low, except for those who are very strict with their subordinates. In addition to the minions who have the right to speak under such a family master, they may be more sensible, and it is often Sun Guan's status that is not up or down. It is easier to create the villain's heart that falls with the wind.
But undoubtedly, such people are sometimes very good. It is precisely because there is ** in my heart and there is something to ask for, so it is better to control.
At least, the current Sun Guan is very easy to use.
There is no need for him to replace Fu Lu's position in King An's heart, as long as he reports King An's every move to her. After all, he is still King An's personal attendant, and his status in the palace is not as low as he imagined.
But what made her care was that the fifth prince handed her a letter at this time, what was it for?
She had seen the Five Princes before, the poison of the ice kiss had been resolved, and his whole person had returned to his former spirit, and he still looked like the unruly and chic prodigal son among the flowers, who also often haunted the Qinglou restaurant, and also loved to sing poems and paint, and also called the girl but never stayed overnight in the Qinglou, and the same leaves in the thousands of flowers did not touch him. Of course, he is also funny, humorous, loved by women, and a prince, although idle, he is still a good identity to attract bees and butterflies.
The five princes who have recovered their health are like nothing that happened before, repeating their life before the poisoning, which makes people scratch their heads.
Especially when he asked Mei Guifei to say goodbye, he never had a trace of other emotions, as if he didn't know Mei Guifei's plan at all, which made Mei Guifei even more jealous of him.
And Jiang Tao, who wanted to hunt him down at the beginning, could only rely on the temporary antidote given to him by Fang Xiaoyu's mercy after being hit by Fang Xiaoyu's life and death talisman. He had no choice but to be marked with a smile under the nose of the original master. At this time, Jiang Tao was secretly obeying the orders of the five princes, but in fact, he was also helping Fang Xiaoyu clear some obstacles.
A few days ago, the fifth prince went to Wanghualou, and it happened that Fang Xiaoyu was also there that day, so he mentioned to him that if he wanted to find her, he could send her a message through Sun Guan. After all, a man and a woman, meeting alone will be criticized for communication, and with Sun Guan, the person in the middle, everything is much more convenient.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the letter of the five princes had already reached her through Sun Guan.
Fang Xiaoyu opened the letter and read the contents confidently, but after a while, her brows were furrowed together, and then a meaningful smile was revealed, and in a few breaths, her expression suddenly became serious again.
After reading the letter, she felt the content of the five princes' hearts, she clenched the letter tightly with her palm, crumpled the letter into a ball of paper, and then used force, and the paper ball was instantly shocked into powder by the internal force.
It's just that Fang Xiaoyu didn't want others to know the content of the letter, but in Sun Guan's eyes, it was automatically interpreted as she was shocking him, so Sun Guan was even more humble.
"Go down." Fang Xiao's tone was light, but he was stunned and asked Sun Guan to hear the aura and the pressure.
Sun Guan dared to disobey Fang Xiao's words, and immediately bowed down and left without delay.
Fang Xiaoyu broke a branch and played with it in his hand, remembering the secret of Concubine Mei mentioned in the letter of the fifth prince, and sneered a little in his heart.
A fox will always show its tail, no matter how well it is disguised.
The Fifth Prince obviously understood the meaning of this, so he also put forward his own ideas in the letter. coincides with Fang Xiaoyu.
Fang Xiaoyu realized that in fact, in addition to him and Ye Xici, her father and the eldest princess knew the most about all the truths. It belongs to the five princes.
Even the fifth prince knew some things she didn't know, such as the secrets that Ye Xici tried his best to hide.
Ye Xici didn't say anything, she didn't want to know from other people's mouths, so all along, the fifth prince insisted that Ye Xici keep his mouth shut, he had to hide the secret for him, and Fang Xiaoyu never asked. In this matter, he did not make the five princes sad.
But are the Five Princes really trustworthy? Fang Xiaoyu put a big question mark in his heart.
She clearly realized everything she knew in her previous life. In addition to those natural and man-made disasters that cannot be changed, her little butterfly, who was unexpectedly reborn, also flapped her little wings as she wished, changing many things.
A good person in the past may not still be a good person in this life. The bad guys of the past. In this life, he may not continue to be a bad person. At least she's changed a lot of things.
Like what. Mei Chunshui did not become Ye Shucheng's side concubine, did not frame her, did not set fire to her, on the contrary, she also married Shen Shanruo, who had almost no intersection in her previous life, and lived happily with her.
For example, she did not marry Ye Shucheng to become the second princess, but married Ye Xici, who died early in her previous life. and was involved in the extremely complicated family of King An's Mansion.
For example, the Qiu Guogong Mansion did not fall apart as in the previous life. Qiu will not experience the whirlpool of indifference in his previous life for a long time.
For example, she watched Mei Suxi die at the hands of her own son step by step. Fang Jianzhang will not die in the fire of that conspiracy like her.
Everything has changed. So who's a friend and who's an enemy. None of this is known.
It all needs to be revisited.
All need to be treated with caution.
But what she can't deny is that if the fifth prince is trustworthy, it will undoubtedly be the best for him and Ye Xici.
Any chess piece planted may be exposed, let alone planted on the uncertain time bomb in the palace. But if a prince can be their eyeliner, it is much more convenient than those chess pieces who carefully live in the dark.
The secret about Mei Guifei in the heart of the fifth prince coincided with her previous suspicions. This confirmed her suspicions very well, so she would never have any more pity for those people on this matter.
The ring has quietly opened, and the other party thinks that she is still in the dark. And she is happy to see it happen, so that the other party thinks so.
Who wins and loses in the end, the future has not yet happened, so no one can predict the outcome. It depends on who is better under the game between the two sides, who has the right time and place, and who will be patronized by the god of luck.
Whoever wins.
No matter how complex the anomaly. But it couldn't be simpler.
However, in addition to the speculation about Concubine Mei, the fifth prince also gave her a piece of advice or a reminder in his heart.
He said that the other party must have moved. Tell Ye Xici to be careful.
Fang Xiaoyu's brows could not be stretched. What exactly the other party's actions were and who they were aimed at, she didn't have a clue until now.
Is it against Ye Xici? At least that's what the five princes guessed. Or is it against her? And in what way will she be calculated?
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly paused, some inspiration seemed to flash in her mind, she suddenly looked up at the thin branch in her hand, and said in her heart, the quicksand country invaded Beiyan, will the emperor order her father to go on the expedition will be part of this calculation?
Then she shook her head again, because she couldn't understand the point of exposing her plan so much effort.
Fang Xiaoyu was in no mood to continue to enjoy the flowers, so he walked back thinking about it, but suddenly ran into the sweaty and embarrassed figure of King An.
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes were full of playful schadenfreude, King An's appearance at this time was really weak, a little like a dying patient. In addition to the gasping and undulating breathing, it proved that he was alive and sound.
"I've seen my father." Fang Xiaoyu saluted slightly.
King An looked at Fang Xiaoyu's expression was extremely complicated, on the one hand, he was jealous, and on the other hand, he was helpless, and in the end, all his anger turned into a sigh. He looked at Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, and just said viciously, "This is the first day." Remember the words. As he spoke, he limped towards the study accompanied by Fu Lu.
What Fang Xiaoyu didn't know was that in order to be able to get Ye Xici's forgiveness, although he was unwilling, he still didn't dare to ignore Fang Xiaoyu's 'plan', which was clearly a toss for people, and he had already set off before dawn early in the morning, and ran to the foot of the ascetic mountain and climbed back and forth three times.
Fortunately, the ascetic mountain is not too high, nor too shaky, in order to make it convenient for pilgrims to go to the dry temple to offer incense, the monks of the dry temple have already opened up a road that can go straight to the top of the mountain but is not steep.
This road has simply become a lifesaver for King An. Just grasping the loopholes in the language, Fang Xiaoyu did not say that he had to choose a steep mountain road to go up, so he followed the road opened up by the monk of Kuzen Temple up and down the mountain three times.
But even then, it's a powerful amount of exercise. This is still like a disaster for An Wang, who hasn't exercised well for a long time.
So, unsurprisingly, he had a cramp in his legs. The crying father who was in pain could only hold it in his heart, and that kind of taste really couldn't be described in words.
For there was not only him on that mountain, but also many devout pilgrims. Although it was not yet dawn, many people had already gone up the mountain to offer incense.
The reason why he chose to go before dawn was because he was afraid that there would be too many pilgrims after dawn, and his embarrassment would become the laughing stock of everyone. Especially for a good-faced person like him, being watched by everyone like a monkey is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
But Fang Xiaoyu succeeded, and his back and forth finally attracted some people's attention. And don't let him have leg cramps, the double blow of physical and mental makes him miserable.
But that's not all. What made him hate Fang Xiaoyu the most and wanted to kill her was that Fang Xiaoyu was so bad.
She didn't believe him. I don't believe that he will go back and forth on the ascetic mountain three times without cheating. So she told Monk Xuyun about it, and then Monk Xuyun sent other little monks to supervise him throughout the whole process, accompanying him step by step, and faithfully walked back and forth three times. Even if his legs and stomach cramped, it was difficult to get the other party to have pity, and he still watched him go back and forth three times without blinking.
King An even had the idea that he didn't want to recognize this son for a moment, but fortunately he was killed in time.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, he even thought about how to reprimand Fang Xiaoyu for her viciousness when he saw her, but unfortunately, all the abuse and complaints died down smoothly when he saw Fang Xiaoyu's face.
His intuition told him that Fang Xiaoyu didn't seem to be in a very good mood at the moment.
Think of the powder of the ancient tree that had turned into powder and spilled all over the yard, and the huge wound on Song Lu's neck.
He wisely chose to shut up. (To be continued.) )
