Chapter 1: The Su family is dead
The dog days are the hottest time of the year in Kyoto, but on this day, you can't see a single sun with teeth and claws spitting out the wheel of fire, only black clouds in the sky, which are so thick that people can't breathe.
This doesn't seem like a good sign, Su Wanqing glanced at the scene outside the window, inexplicably a little flustered, and the movement of the pen in her hand was also sluggish.
It wasn't until the ink on the tip of the pen fell on the paper and made a clicking sound that interrupted her thoughts, Su Wanqing retracted her gaze, looked at the paper stained by the ink in front of her and frowned.
"Concubine Fang, it's not good! ――”
Suddenly, a crying exclamation broke the silence of the small courtyard, followed by a series of messy and hurried footsteps.
Breaking into the door, it was a blue-clothed maid with tears on her face, panicked and even hit the small pestle resting at the door, staggered two steps and fell to the ground with a "poof", sobbing and repeating: "Side concubine, it's a big deal!" ”
Su Wanqing looked at the maid's panicked look, the fingers holding the pen trembled slightly, and asked with bated breath: "Biwu, what are you crying about?" Did the Holy Father have some will? ”
"Concubine ......," the maid who called Biwu sobbed and couldn't bear to reply, "this morning, face back...... Several adults jointly played a concert to the emperor, accusing the lord of indeed plotting rebellion......"
Boom -
A bolt from the blue!
Su Wanqing was originally sitting on the chair next to the table, but when she heard Bi Wu speak, she couldn't sit steadily, only feeling that her head was hit hard by a heavy object, and she fell into the blank with a "buzz".
"Concubine Fang, be careful!" Seeing that Su Wanqing was about to fall off the chair, Bi Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Do you want to care, do you want a slave to invite a man to come and show you?" ”
Su Wanqing waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and after a pause, her heart was already turbulent, as Su Mu's only daughter, she had been favored by him for seventeen years, how could she not understand her father's temperament? She really couldn't figure out where these people who denounced her father came from, and why these people could say so conclusively.
Su Wanqing was not stupid, and after a short moment of contemplation, she realized that this matter was not so simple. In just two days, first Dali Temple searched out the anti-book from the study of Taiwei's Mansion, and then some people couldn't wait to complain in front of the palace.
If the former can still make Su Wanqing regard it as an explainable misunderstanding, then today's episode makes people have to doubt it......
It's just that I don't know if the black hand behind this scene is aimed at my father or the Su family.
"Without further ado, I have to go to the Su family's ancestral house, no matter what method I use today, I will also see my uncle." Su Wanqing's face sank, and she was about to get up as she spoke.
Bi Wu was shocked when she heard this, and an anxious arrow step blocked in front of Su Wanqing.
Su Wanqing couldn't help frowning slightly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Bi Wu was a little helpless by her staring, and said, "The slave maid wants to ...... Yesterday, you knelt down for a while, and the uncle didn't see you, so don't go today, and let you look at people's faces and be wronged. ”
"What are you talking nonsense, this time it is clear that someone is designing a frame, the human and material evidence is in front of me, my father and mother will be sent by the emperor at any time, where can I be afraid of any grievances? What's more, my uncle and my father are brothers, even if they avoid me for a while, they will never really be like others who will not save them......" Su Wanqing suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and her voice gradually lowered.
She groaned, her knife-like gaze swept towards Biwu, "You know something, don't you?!" ”
This question was so bluffing that she trembled like chaff, tears flowed down her cheeks, she nodded, shook her head again, and nodded again, "The slave really doesn't dare to tell you...... It is a big ...... to report the master's affairs to the emperor The head of the uncle is ......! ”
As soon as the words settled, the anger in Su Wanqing's heart was indescribable, and the strength in her body seemed to be drained all at once, and her heart became cold.
She thought about thousands of possibilities, but she didn't expect that it would be the Su family who stabbed her in the back!
In an instant, the emotions of incomprehension, disappointment, and hatred swept towards her, and unconsciously, she pursed her lips tightly, and in just a moment, Su Wanqing's lower lip was already oozing bright red, which was particularly dazzling on her white face.
When had Bi Wu seen Su Wanqing like this, she firmly grasped her cold hands in fear, and choked up: "You have to say something, don't scare the slave!" We'll always have a way, there's always a way......"
Su Wanqing sneered: "What method? "Even the Su family has stepped heavily on their second room, who else is willing to risk losing their heads and say a fair word for their father?
She looked out the window desperately, looking at the gloomy and gloomy sky, and her heart was filled with infinite sadness, "Now, the only one who may have the ability to help is afraid that there is only one person left." ”
Bi Wu heard what he was referring to, like a life-saving straw: "That's right, Lord Wang!" The slave almost forgot that there was also the prince! ”
Yes, there is also Su Wanqing's husband - King Yi.
But this is the most unsuitable method in her eyes, no matter how long King Yi is not in Kyoto at the moment, how long will this letter be delayed once and again, that is, just to say that the two of them have a weak relationship, presumably he will not be willing to get into such trouble for nothing.
However, there was only one way for her to go.
"Huh!"
At this moment, an abrupt sneer came from outside, interrupting her thoughts, and a graceful and beautiful woman stepped in, surrounded by several maids and servants.
I don't know how long I listened outside the door, and the well-dressed face of the person who came came had an undisguised pride, "It's a good sentence 'and the prince', but if Concubine Su looks at the prince to save your family, it is really a mistake!" ”
Su Wanqing didn't expect that there would be someone outside the house, so after being stunned for a moment, she forced down the ups and downs in her heart, got up and saluted, "The concubine greets the princess." ”
Princess Yi saw that Su Wanqing was not as annoyed as she expected, and she still kept holding back, and wanted to tear this peace more and more, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but I haven't forgotten the rule of the side concubine, but it's a pity that it's ......" She smiled and moved closer to Su Wanqing, with a mocking hint on her red lips, and said very slowly, very slowly: "Su family, dead." ”
Rao is Su Wanqing tried her best to restrain herself, and her face darkened uncontrollably after hearing this.
Seeing that Su Wanqing's face gradually turned to defeat, Princess Yi finally felt a lot more happy, disdainful of bothering her tongue, and instead gave a look to the maid behind her.
"This is the princess who has been in a state of mind for the past two days, and specially found Lang Zhongkai's prescription to replenish her body, and asked you to take this medicine, don't live up to the princess's good intentions."
It was Princess Yi's personal maid Yuji who spoke, and it was only at this moment that Su Wanqing noticed that she was holding a medicine bowl with an unusually delicate pattern in her hand.
Biwu's legs went limp, and she stumbled backwards, almost falling to the ground.
Su Wanqing's eyes turned, revealing a sneer, her sharp gaze swept over everyone in the room one by one, and finally stared at the graceful woman, her lips opened and closed, and there was a terrifying calm in her tone, "This, but what does the prince mean?" ”
