Chapter 278: I'm just a little curious
Looking at Ye Shilan's sneering eyes, for a moment, Ye Xiqian suddenly felt a kind of creepy attack all over his body, as if every inch of his body was stiff, his heartbeat suddenly intensified, and the expression on his face could not be controlled freely.
This is not his sister. He had the impression that Ye Shilan was a person who did not have any city government, and all his joys, sorrows, and sorrows were all expressed on his face, and he even often regarded stupidity as a smart person. is almost the same kind of person as Mei Chunshui in the eyes of everyone in the capital.
He had never seen such a chilling light in these eyes, as if it could turn into a sharp sword, piercing his body and his soul in an instant.
He felt the fear.
Fear from the depths of the soul.
Even more than the fear of the other party's laughter.
Ye Xiqian, who realized this, had mixed feelings in his heart. He actually had a fear of Ye Shilan, it was like a ridiculous joke, even he couldn't believe it.
"If this is exposed, you will not be left alone. So keep your mouth shut and don't mention it to anyone. Ye Xiqian warned Ye Shilan viciously, but in fact, it was to hide his already panicked heart.
"Are you begging me?" Ye Shilan's face was full of disdain, and she raised her eyebrows, as indifferent as ever.
Although it was the dead of night, the cool courtyard was still brightly lit.
In the front hall of Qingliang Courtyard, Fang Xiaoyu sat on his head, and kneeled down on a woman who was tied up with five flowers. The woman stared at Fang Xiaoyu with an unconvinced expression, and her vicious appearance seemed to be about to swallow Fang Xiaoyu into her stomach.
But Fang Xiaoyu looked at this woman with interest, who was about twenty years old. At most, it's twenty-two three, his skin is a little darker, and calluses can be seen on his hands.
Such a woman. The third watch was dressed in night clothes in the middle of the night, and all the guards outside the courtyard where Li Suqing was recuperating knocked unconscious, she didn't think she was going to play.
What's even more interesting is that Ye Xiqian did fall for Ye Shilan, believing what she said Li Suqing was sober, and secretly ran to kill people in the middle of the night, and was caught by Ye Shilan again. At this moment, it may also be a dilemma. And this woman went with Ye Xiqian. She was responsible for knocking the guards unconscious, and Ye Xiqian was responsible for entering the house and killing people. The two have a clear division of labor, and it seems that the relationship is extraordinary.
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little funny.
Ye Xiqian was carried away by the beautiful painting cake. That's why all of a sudden, my personality has changed. But how this woman came together with Ye Xiqian, this is what she is interested in knowing.
Ye Shilan and Ye Xiqian quarreled in the house so dark that they could hear it clearly through the courtyard door, if she hadn't asked someone to deal with it. I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be rumors in the entire capital that Zhou Guifei and King An have a leg and gave birth to a child.
But she didn't go into the house to disturb their quarrel. Instead, they found someone to watch their every move, and then arrested this woman who was Ye Xiqian's accomplice.
She thought, maybe the second murderer who hid in Li Suqing's courtyard before and opened his mouth to scream after watching King An and Ye Xiqian arrive, was this woman.
"What's your name?" Fang Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to torture to extract a confession, but just stared at the woman with a rather interesting gaze, and the woman who looked at her was uncomfortable.
"Humph!" The woman was a hard bone, just snorting. But there was no intention to cooperate with Fang Xiaoyu's questioning.
Fang Xiaoyu was not annoyed, but glanced at the ink mark lightly. Mo Ji immediately stood up and said: "Zhuang Yue, Ye Xiqian's personal maid, has recently replaced Miao Chang, but she is very favored. Born in a peasant family, there are three younger siblings in the family, both parents are here, and there was originally a marriage contract with the butcher who sold meat in Linzhen, but the butcher died in an accident before getting married, and she has been living at home. Life passed tightly, and as a last resort, her parents sold her into the palace and signed a death deed. was valued by Ye Xiqian again and picked it back. ”
The ink marks revealed the identity of the woman one by one, and the woman lowered her head silently, only biting her lip and saying nothing. But what is hidden under the eyes is a deep contempt.
"It's just that all of this is just a superficial identity, a trick used to deceive other people's eyes. His true identity is actually the favorite concubine of the second prince, but because he is a secret guard, his identity is not known. A few days ago, the second prince rewarded her to Ye Xiqian, so she compiled her identity and stayed by Ye Xiqian's side in this way. ”
The unhurried sentence of 'just' made Zhuang Yue shocked.
She is the secret guard of the second prince, and she has also been favored by the second prince. It's just that her identity is sensitive, so no one knows about it, not even the others who are also dark guards.
This time, she got the order of the second prince to stay by Ye Xiqian's side, just to provoke Ye Xiqian to deal with Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici. So she always keeps a low profile, works hard, and her apparent identity is a peasant girl, which also happens to hide the origin of the thick calluses on her palms, without making people suspicious, and deliberately making the illusion of being despised.
But she didn't expect that her identity would be revealed by ink marks. This made her panic. But in a moment, she was back to normal. After all, he was born as a secret guard, and he did not lack the power to adapt on the spot.
"Haha! Interesting. After listening to the words of the ink mark, Fang Xiaoyu laughed and said: "A beauty who looks so standard, Ye Shucheng is really willing to do it." Sending your favorite concubine to others to play with, or a straw bag like Ye Xiqian, I don't think it's worth it for you. It seems that in order to win Ye Xiqian's trust, His Royal Highness, the former gentle and elegant Second Prince, has really invested in it. ”
Fang Xiaoyu's words were full of sarcasm. This is what she understands Ye Shucheng. This is the Second Prince His Royal Highness who she understands by any means to achieve his goal.
For Ye Shucheng, women have always been an additional tool. As long as he can get closer to that throne, no matter how close he is, he can give up even the closest person, let alone just a favorite concubine?
She can imagine now that Zhuang Yue's status in her mind is probably that as a secret guard, with martial arts, it is more convenient and cheap to stay by Ye Xiqian's side and wait for the opportunity to resign against her and Ye Xi.
In her previous life, she was the daughter of General Zhenyuan, and the 500,000 army behind her was the most supportive. He married her in order to get the support of Zhenyuan's army, and she ran out of use. Isn't it a fire burned to ashes?
The throne is the most important thing to him, and if it is for the throne, he can use all means. No matter how much she humiliated him in this life, how she swept his face, for the sake of the 500,000 military power, he could still swallow his anger, and even risked losing face to ask the emperor for marriage in public at the palace banquet.
Didn't Ye Shucheng hate her?
No way.
That's the one who will repay you. How you used to bully him. He wants you to pay back tenfold and hundredfold.
It's just that he knows how to weigh the gains and losses between advance and retreat, telling himself that a manly man can bend and stretch, and reminding himself that he can sacrifice everything to achieve his goal. Warning himself that all accounts can be settled one by one after he ascends the throne as emperor in the future.
He can even burn the daughter of a general with 500,000 military power, and he still cares about a mere concubine?
It's just that she really admires Ye Shucheng's 'ability to bend and stretch'. Sending his own woman to someone else's bed, doesn't he feel that his head is shining green?
Fang Xiaoyu was really amused. It seems that Ye Shucheng's resentment towards her is really not small.
did not hesitate to lie that Ye Xiqian was his elder brother, and did not hesitate to send his favorite concubine to Ye Xiqian's bed. Its true purpose. In fact, it was to let Ye Xiqian deal with her and Ye Xici, the thorns in the flesh, but it was cheaper for Ye Xiqian, an idiot.
"The slave maid doesn't understand what the princess means by this, the slave maid is just the maid of the god, not the favorite concubine of the second prince." Zhuang Yue gritted her teeth and denied it. There is no evidence, and she refuses to admit it, so she doesn't believe what this smile can do to her.
"It's not good-looking, but the mouth is quite hard!" Sizhu sneered, and saw that Fang's laughter did not stop her. So she continued: "Just you and the second prince of your family, you still want to play with my young lady." Don't look in the mirror to see that you two are less than two pounds! ”
The smile on the corner of Sizhu's mouth looked unusually dazzling, Zhuang Yue hated it in her heart, and even wanted to give the cheap dead girl in front of her a lesson, but at the critical moment, reason finally prevailed, and she held back.
"Ye Shucheng can easily give you to others to enjoy, which shows that he has no place for you in his heart. Why, then, did you bother to die for him? and be ruined by others. Fang Xiaoyu's tone was a little smiling, and the reflection in his eyes was not pity, not pity, but banter.
Zhuang Yue bit her lip, her teeth grinding and gurgling.
Isn't this on her mind?
Originally as a dark guard, he stood out from a group of men. After going through the trials and tribulations of life and death, she only used the sword in her hand to split all the chaos with the sword in her hand, and successfully became one of the few secret guards of the second prince.
The rest were all dead, secretly executed. Because the second prince doesn't need waste, and he doesn't need waste to know his secrets. Therefore, their group of secret guards became the only dozen or so remaining among hundreds of thousands of people, obeying the dispatch of the second prince.
She was the only woman among them. Because of his appearance, while completing the orders of the second prince, he was also favored by the second prince.
Although she has no official title, she is the most favored woman in the Second Prince's Mansion.
She didn't even have the luxury of coming to the fore from the shadows, and she didn't have the luxury of hoping that one day she would have an official name. She just wants to still be the secret guard who is unknown and not even known, as long as she can stay by the side of the second prince and always be born and die for him, she will be willing and satisfied.
But she received such an order from the second prince. asked her to disguise herself as a maid, enter King An's mansion, serve Ye Xiqian's left and right, and even use beauty to hold him firmly in her hands.
She accepted the order without saying anything, but the bitterness in her heart was so pervasive that even she didn't realize how overflowing.
She is not afraid of injury, she is not afraid of death. For the sake of the great cause of the second prince, she would rather be crushed to pieces than become a useful person to him.
But although she is not afraid of injury and death, she is the only one who wants to leave him alone.
So even though she has no reputation, even if she can't be seen on the stage, she is still willing to be a ghost hidden in the dark, as long as the second prince can get a little warmth through her when he needs it.
But this order shattered her dreams. She had to come to Ye Xiqian's side, tempt him, seduce him, God knows how disgusting she felt when she was pressed under Ye Xiqian, and how much she wanted to slaughter this stupid pig with a knife!
But every time she thought that this was the person that the second prince needed, she silently restrained the restlessness in her heart, and resigned herself to her fate.
Fang Xiaoyu shouldn't have pierced this layer of window paper. This will only make her naked in front of people and become cheap.
Fang Xiaoyu seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's pitiful." Since ancient times, infatuated women have fallen in love with a man who is not affectionate, and they are pitiful and lovable. ”
Fang Xiaoyu pinched Zhuang Yue's chin, and the exploration in his eyes was more like a kind of scrutiny, like examining an animal, ruthless and merciful.
This made Zhuang Yue feel an unspeakable anger in his chest, instantly sown, broke the soil, grew and then flowered, but in the end, it could only gradually wither.
She realized that this princess, who had always cared about the second prince, was far more terrifying than she imagined. She made her identity so seamlessly, and she hid it from everyone, but she couldn't hide it from the person in front of her.
There was a resentment in her heart. She felt that Fang Xiaoyu's gaze seemed to tell her that she was far inferior to her compared to her familiarity and understanding of the second prince.
It was this almost ridiculous feeling that made her dislike Fang Xiaoyu very much all along.
Although there is very little intersection between them. And she is just a maid in King An's mansion, but in her heart, Fang Xiaoyu has always been her enemy. So provoking Ye Xiqian's hatred and laughter is what she is most willing to do.
She knew she couldn't hide her identity. The other party even checked the identity of her ancestors for the eighteenth generation, including her identity before she became a secret guard, which is enough to prove that she is almost transparent in front of him, and there are no secrets at all.
And now, she is stirring up the relationship between her and the second prince. How could she be fooled!
So, she looked at Fang Xiaoyu's playful gaze head-on, and sneered: "You don't have to provoke my relationship with His Royal Highness the Second Prince. I know better than you how good he is. I am willing to give everything for him. ”
It's like a formal declaration of war. She, the favorite concubine of the second prince, officially declared war on the person the second prince cared about.
"Provocative? No, no, no. Fang Xiaoyu smiled, smiled a little brightly, and said: "I already know the excellence of the second prince of your family, and I will not bother to provoke your intimacy in front of a dying person." I'm just a little curious if all women are intoxicated by sweet words. But I didn't get an answer. So you are useless and can go to death. ”
After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu gave Mo Ji a look, and then turned to leave.
Zhuang Yue looked at Fang Xiaoyu's disappearing back in a daze. It seems that she has no awareness that she is a dead person. (To be continued.) )
