Chapter 265: A Transaction
King An suddenly realized that his words might not be very pleasant for Fang Xiaoyu. He had seen Fang Xiaoyu many times, but it was the first time he had felt the killing intent that was almost condensed into substance like Fang Cai's body.
Even if they were already in hostility, even if he had never had a good face for Xici and was embarrassed everywhere, he had never felt such a murderous intent from her.
If she really loves Xici, maybe the suspicion and denial of Xici's mother in his words will become a particularly harsh and piercing word. When she learned the truth, looking back on the past, even she felt like a bastard.
If Jian An really did such a shameless thing, no matter how ruthless he was, he didn't think it was a problem. Even if he doesn't love Jian An, it is a fact that Jian An is his princess. What she is carrying is not only her own face, but also the face of King An's Mansion and his face.
After learning that his wife was having an affair with another man, and even gave birth to a child, and he had to raise this child, God knows how far he felt that his dignity had been trampled on.
But when he learned that everything was just someone else's calculations, and then thought back on what he had done, even he felt thrilled.
He doesn't have many women, so he naturally has few heirs. Except for Shilan's daughter, those who can inherit King An's Mansion are Xiqian in addition to Xici.
In the past, he felt that Xici was a sinister species, not his own son, but he occupied the position of the son of the world, and let his son Xiqian be wronged. But now, it has been proved that Xici and Xiqian are his sons, but because of Li Suqing's calculations, his husband and wife are strangers. The calculating father and son turned against each other, and his emotions in the face of Xiqian at the moment were extremely complicated. Even if he knows that the adult's fault is not to blame the child, he still feels awkward. I want to be out of sight.
Fang Xiaoyu also knew such an inside story for the first time.
She has never understood King An's attitude towards Ye Xici. Even if he doesn't like Jian An, after all, Ye Xici is also his biological son. Even if you ignore the two of them, don't give them treatment that matches their status, and even never sneer, why do you have to put people to death again and again?
She understands that many people in this era are involuntarily, although she also despises King An, who does not dare to resist the decree and refuses to marry, but puts the fault on the innocent Jian An, but she is a prince with royal blood. Since childhood, living in the huge dye vat of the palace, you will be selfish and think about yourself in advance. will shirk responsibility everywhere, and she is not incomprehensible. After all, the royal family is high, as a courtier, how can he reason with these superiors?
So. King An and Li Suqing have already made a lifelong decision. But because of the holy decree of the emperor, Jian An was inserted into a lever, so King An was angry and sprinkled his anger on Jian An's body, not mentioning right and wrong, at least the motive can be explained.
However, just because he likes Li Suqing and loves Ye Xiqian, he can't wait to get rid of Ye Xi. She felt that An Wang's thinking was very abnormal.
Do you just want Ye Xiqian to become the son of the world? So in order to make way for Ye Xiqian, Ye Xiqi had to die?
Tiger venom is still not eating children. King An is also affectionate to Li Suqing, it is said that he should not be such a vicious and shameless person, why should he be cruel to Jian An and Ye Xici?
It was the first time that Fang Xiaoyu had heard the truth about such a stalemate between King An and Jian An, and she thought, I am afraid that even Ye Xici had not heard of these reasons that were closely related to him.
Princess Ann had an affair with other men. It's unbelievable.
From everything she investigated about Jian An, her temperament was not such a person who disregarded etiquette and shame.
So what did Li Suqing do back then to make King An misunderstand that Jian An was a watery Yang Hua shameless woman? This led to a simple tragic end, and also led to Ye Xici's heart-wrenching and painful childhood.
King An's expression became cautious. For Fang Xiaoyu, he has never liked it very much. This woman inherited his father's stubborn temper, and it was difficult to compromise easily with anyone or any identity.
His father, Fang Jianzhang, knew that he was a member of the royal family and was the emperor's younger brother, but when they met, he never had any respect at all, and even came to threaten him when he got down to the court, and he never seemed to think about the consequences.
He used to hate Fang Jianzhang's unscrupulous character when he held military power, but for outsiders, Fang Jianzhang was mostly gentle, and some people in the court even said that he was elegant and like a civil official, and he was indeed a scholar, which confused the eyes of many people.
And Fang Xiaoyu inherited Fang Jianzhang's cunning. At first glance, she looks gentle and lovely, please be gentle and generous, and she looks sweet and lovely, but who knows how terrible it is for her to start a temper?
As her father-in-law, since she married into the palace, has he ever truly respected him? Didn't you see that they were still staring at him with a look like they were going to kill?
But he was a little glad that Fang Xiaoyu had become his daughter-in-law. He couldn't imagine that if Fang Xiaoyu hadn't appeared by chance and hadn't saved Xici, would Xici have now become a tomb in the imperial tomb?
In the past, when Xi Ci returned home with an injury, he always maliciously thought about why he was so fatal? Why don't you die outside? But now he is afraid countless times, if Xi Ci really died, or died under his orders, what kind of feeling would he feel when he learned the truth and the truth came out?
Will you die of angina? Will it be painful?
He killed his own son with his own hands, but he was lost to a conspiracy devised by someone else.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't fail to see King An's guilty and regretful expression, but she scoffed.
No matter what caused him to be so-for-tat with Jian An, but he believed the words of others and judged himself in vain without checking the facts, thinking that pushing everything on the conspirators behind the scenes could wash away the sins of his life?
However, Fang Xiaoyu did not continue to release the killing intent. Although she wants to kill someone for catharsis now, the top priority is to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the year. This is crucial to how Ye Xici will choose in the future.
"I know what kind of damage this misunderstanding has caused to Xici, but now the truth is revealed. I am willing to do my best to make amends for the mistakes I have made in the past, and I only hope that Xici will give me a chance. King An's tone was almost pleading.
He had fewer women and fewer children. Now the beloved woman has become a slut with wolf ambitions. He felt that everything was so false, and the sudden sense of loneliness almost drowned out all his spirits.
The person who has been lying on the pillow for more than 20 years is a wicked person with a mask, and the sweet words and soft words of the past have become a sad joke, and he is a little breathless.
At this time, he desperately needs Ye Xici's forgiveness, as long as there is still a chance to make amends. At least he would feel comforted in his heart.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't buy it, facing his confession, there was a cruel sneer on his face. Said: "Could it be that my father doesn't plan to make everything clear?" ”
King An was stunned. Then he said with a guilty face: "If you want to know the ins and outs, instead of asking me, it is better for her to tell me." ”
With that, a woman came out of the room.
This girl is a little older. The skin on the face is somewhat rough. There are also some black-brown spots distributed. There are calluses on the palms of the hands, and there are some slight rickets even when walking.
Fang Xiaoyu had actually discovered that there was still a person hidden in the house, her breathing was uneven, and it was too easy to expose herself. In front of a person with strong martial arts, such a disordered breathing is like a lamp pointing out the direction, dazzling and impossible to ignore.
Fang Xiaoyu squinted slightly, and the cruelty that appeared in his expression at the right time fell into this woman's eyes, and a piercing chill couldn't help but spread all over her body.
"Say it. I listened. Fang Xiaoyu's expression did not fluctuate at all. In the eyes of King An, it is like an emotionless stone. But when she carried King An on her back, the woman saw her expression, but it was murderous.
Women simply can't stand. If it weren't for the last bit of courage to support, she almost fell to her knees.
Fang Xiaoyu gave her such a sense of oppression.
"Say everything you said before to the princess." King An's eyes showed disgust. If it weren't for them, how could he have gotten into such a trouble with his son?
It was his first son, and he was almost about to experience the joy of being a father, but he was beaten into the dust, and he first felt the humiliation of the raging tide.
"Slave maid...... Slave maid ...... "The slave's nervous sweat was like a spring, and most of his clothes were soaked in an instant, and he stammered and could barely say a complete sentence. Even she felt incredible, even when facing the prince, she had never been so nervous, why when facing the princess, there was a feeling of being targeted by a powerful beast, which made her legs weak and unable to move.
"If you don't speak well, it's useless to keep this tongue. Why don't you ask someone to cut them one by one, fry them in an oil pan, and eat them yourself? Fang Xiaoyu's voice was like the king of Hades from the underworld, and King An and the grandmother couldn't help but think of the eighteen layers of hell, and couldn't help but shudder.
Mama finally couldn't bear Fang Xiaoyu's cold gaze, and knelt on the ground with a pop, her left knee was kneeling on a small stone, and she broke out in cold sweat because of the pain.
But she didn't dare to cry out in pain, so she had to endure the pain that her legs were almost gone, and she kept kneeling on the stones, trembling and saying: "The slave's name is Songlu, and when Madame entered the house, she was transferred to serve Madame." Therefore, everything that the lady has done over the years, the slaves and maids are clear, and many of them even participate in it personally. ”
"Songlu ......" Fang smiled and recited Songlu's name with the corners of his mouth, but Songlu was scared half to death.
"Madame is the adopted daughter of Lord Jian Zheng, she has been an orphan since she was a child, she was taken in by Lord Jane, raised outside the house, and was taught many skills in treating men, just so that one day, she can be used by Zhou Guifei to envelop the man Zhou Guifei needs."
Song Lu didn't dare to pause, and continued: "Before the princess married into the palace, there were rumors outside that the prince and Zhou Guifei had some unclear relationship. ”
"Madame, because she is jealous of the princess, has no rejection of this matter. Because he was taught how to seduce men since he was a child, he fell into the trap of his wife and loved his wife very much. ”
"Madame provoked the princess in front of the princess, and deliberately arranged for the princess to meet with a foreign man, and they talked very happily, causing the prince to misunderstand and suspect that the princess was having an affair with others. In fact, the man was sent by Lord Jane to meet the princess, and he brought Lord Jane's admonition to the princess, and the princess was filial and smiled at her. ”
"This matter is Lord Jane's strategy to cooperate with Madame, from the very beginning, the man under the guise of passing on Lord Jane's teachings, just to see the arrival of the prince, do something that is easy to misunderstand, and detain the name of the water-based poplar flower on the princess."
"Madame's plan was undoubtedly a success. On the wedding night, the prince tortured the princess fiercely, everything was under the calculation of the lady. And the slave maid is also the spy who was arranged to enter the palace in advance by Lord Jian in order to make an internal response for his wife. Later, the lady successfully entered the palace as a concubine, and she chose a slave and maid to serve, and the slave and maid always followed the lady and dealt with some unsightly things for her. ”
Song Lu told everything she knew.
Of course, she knew very little. only knew that Li Suqing was Concubine Zhou's person, and Lord Jian arranged for her to enter King An's Mansion just to receive Mrs. An.
She didn't know that Jian An and Zhou Ling's identities had been reversed. I don't know that Zhou Ling is Jian Zhengyan's biological daughter, and Jian An is Zhou Xiang's lost daughter. I don't know that the loss of Miss Zhou Xiangfu back then was Jian Zhengyan's calculation for the sake of this day.
She only knew that she wanted to help her wife provoke the feelings of Princess An and the prince, let her take the throne as soon as possible, and then think of giving birth to a child and letting the child sit on the throne of King An, so that King An's mansion would also be marked by the concubine of Zhou.
But who knows, in the end, although Princess An was tortured, she was indomitable, not only gave birth to a son-in-law, but also raised her son in such a bad situation. And the emperor is so biased towards the prince that he would rather make a holy decree than let his wife be corrected as a concubine.
"At this time, it was designed by her, and my father never found out, so now, why do you want to betray your wife and tell all the truth?" Fang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, but he already had some clues in his heart.
Song Lu lowered her head, with a hint of sadness on her face, and said, "It was the lady who asked the slave to do this." ”
"Li Suqing? Now that she has been seriously stabbed and unconscious, could she have arranged for you to do such a thing in advance before the prophet was told? Fang Xiaoyu seemed to have asked the point.
Song Lu shook her head and said, "Everything is to leave a way back for the young master and young lady." ”
"Madame always says that being a pawn is involuntarily, and Madame doesn't want the young master and young lady to end up like her, so she stabs herself and wants to make a deal with the princess."
"Madame just wanted to stab herself and involve the princess. Madame believed that with the acumen of the princess, she would be able to spot the hints she had left at the scene. And the life and death of the lady depends entirely on whether the princess is willing to make this deal with the lady. If the princess answers, the lady will never wake up again, and if the princess should not, the lady will only be slightly injured and find another way. ”
"But the lady is so seriously injured that the slave is really puzzled."
Saying that, Song Lu continued: "Before Mrs. was about to start, she dismissed all the maids and mothers-in-law in the courtyard, and wrote a handwritten letter to the slave maid, asking the slave and maid to hand over the letter to the prince after the princess met the conditions of the lady and the lady died. The letter contains the truth about the princess's affair with others, which is counted as a gift to the prince and the princess. ”
"You said your lady left a hint at the scene?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned.
She investigated the scene and didn't find any hints, but the murderer's layout was full of loopholes.
What Song Lu said was exactly what she guessed, but if that was the case, it was no wonder that she always felt that something was missing from the scene. (To be continued.) )
