Chapter 13: Rumors Spread
At night, silently greeting the dawn, when the sky was just white, a few sneaky figures appeared outside the broken jade xuan.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, several people looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and gently pushed open the far door, and then crept in, followed by the others.
Seeing that the courtyard was desolate and there was nowhere to hide, several people couldn't help frowning, and finally had to hide behind the only osmanthus tree in the courtyard, poked their heads out, stared in the direction of the hall, and whispered:
"You say, will this new princess really be able to suppress the prince's wife's luck as rumored outside?" The man hiding at the bottom asked, tilting his head back to the others.
"Who knows? Those people just said that, but I still hope that the new princess will escape this fate, and then the words about the prince's wife will come to an abrupt end. ”
"I also hope that the princess will be safe. This time they opened a gambling game, but I pressed it on her head, otherwise I would have lost all the money to marry my daughter-in-law in the future. The other fat man nodded and said in agreement.
However, the latter words made everyone cast contemptuous glances, and everyone jumped with a brain, which made him scream in pain, and then, he turned his head and said angrily to everyone: "I don't believe you are not pressing!" ”
"......" Everyone was stunned, did not answer immediately, and after laughing in unison, they responded together, with a look of course: "Of course I pressed it." Otherwise, I wouldn't be hiding here like you. ”
"Humph!" The fat man touched the sore head, glared at them fiercely, and then said to the man who spoke before him, "You are so hypocritical! obviously wanted to win money, but he borrowed the prince to speak. ”
"You—" The man was furious, and was about to stand up and blast at the fat man, when suddenly a shout of reprimand sounded behind him: "Who are you! How dare you break into Yuxuan privately?! ”
Several people were shocked, turned around in a panic, and saw Shuang'er standing behind them, with their hands on their hips, glaring at them fiercely.
"We ...... We were just passing ......."
The man who was told by the fat man that he was hypocritical explained, but the argument was so far-fetched that he didn't even believe it, let alone others.
Shuang'er glanced at them, sneered, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth, I'll go and call my young lady, that is, your princess, to come out now, and let her cure you for a crime of trespassing and offense!" ”
As soon as they heard that Shen Yunxi was going to come out to punish their crimes, they didn't dare to tell the truth, so they knelt on the ground with a puff: "Girl, please spare us for the sake of serving our masters." ”
"Then do you say yes?!"
"Tell me about it! We came to Broken Yuxuan to see if the princess was well, because we all pressed the bet. After saying that, everyone lowered their heads, feeling guilty, after all, it is not a glorious thing to bet on other people's lives.
However, who doesn't like money, they all want to live a better life for themselves or the people in their families, but they don't have much ability, so they have to borrow these home remedies to make a little money.
Hearing the reason why they appeared in Broken Yuxuan, Shuang'er's anger that had just disappeared suddenly rose again, and his slender fingers pointed at them angrily: "I just wanted to scare you just now, but I didn't expect you to bet on my young lady!" Do you know what kind of crime you will punish if you let the prince know what you will do?! ”
"The girl spares her life, the girl spares her life! Please don't tell the king. Several people were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
At this moment, Shen Yunxi walked out of the hall, looked up and saw the scene at this end, and walked over, "Shuang'er ......"
"Miss." Shuang'er still wanted to reprimand, but saw Shen Yunxi walking towards her.
The few people who were kneeling on the ground heard Shuang'er's shouting, and their bodies trembled even more in fright, thinking to themselves that they were really finished now.
Shen Yunxi stood still, glanced at a few people, raised his eyes and asked Shuang'er, "What's going on?" ”
"Miss, do you know how hateful they are, they dare to bet on you, and now they sneak into Broken Jade Xuan just to see if you are still alive." Shuang'er pointed to a few people on the ground and said angrily.
Shen Yunxi nodded clearly, did not get angry, then turned around and asked them, "Are you betting on me to live or die?" ”
"Death to a minion! The bet made by the minions was that the princess was alive. Several people replied in fear, and their whole bodies fell to the ground.
Shen Yunxi hooked the corner of his lips lightly and said, "Let's all get up and go back." ”
As if they didn't believe what they heard, a few people raised their heads slightly and glanced at the people beside them, and only after receiving a positive answer did they kowtow and thank them, "Slave thank you for the princess's grace of not punishing." ”
Then, after getting up and taking three steps backwards, he turned around and walked out of the Broken Jade Xuan.
Looking at the figures of several people leaving in a hurry, Shuang'er complained to Shen Yunxi dissatisfiedly: "Miss, how can you spare them like this?" They're betting on you! ”
Shen Yunxi turned her head, looked at Shuang'er, smiled lightly, and smiled very charmingly, comparable to the rising first day, she said, "Why don't you spare them?" They bet on me, but don't they want me to live? At least they have a good heart, and I have no reason not to let them go. Is that right? ”
Finally, he asked Shuang'er, but without waiting for her to answer, he walked to the inner hall, and as he went, he said, "Don't stand, go to the kitchen and come back with breakfast." ”
"Know, miss." Shuang'er replied in a dull voice, turned around and walked towards the outside of Shattered Jade Xuan.
In front of the hall, Shen Yunxi stopped, turned to look at Shuang'er's sullen departing figure, shook his head lightly, and stroked his aching left shoulder before entering the hall.
She understands Shuang'er's heart to protect her, but there are still many people in this world who want her to die! There were several around her, Jingxian, the man in black, etc. And just now these people were just motivated by money, but they were kind, and she was not an arrogant person, thinking of ways to find trouble for others, so she had no reason to punish them.
With the inquiry of these people, the people in the palace knew that the new princess was still alive and well, thinking that sure enough, the life of the eldest lady of the Shen family was hard enough to shock the fortune of the prince's wife.
Then comes the problem.
Everyone gathered together to discuss the topic of whether the prince would favor the new princess.
Some people say that they will be favored, because the prince can finally find someone who can suppress his wife's luck, and he has to spoil her well, otherwise he will miss her, but it will be difficult to find the next princess.
However, some people also say that it is precisely because of this that they will not be favored, although the new princess suppressed his wife's luck, but what man is willing to be pressed by a woman, not to mention, as soon as the new princess entered the door, she made a lot of disrespectful remarks to the prince, saying that she Shen Yunxi relied on her life and dared to compare the prince with a dog.
In short, everyone has their own thoughts and sayings.
There was a lot of discussion about the news that Shen Yunxi was not favored in this palace, and outside the palace, the rumors about Feng Qingchen's inhumanity spread throughout Kyoto. I don't know from whose mouth he said this.
Soon, these words reached Feng Qingchen's ears, and he was furious at the moment, and immediately ordered Long Wu to immediately find out the rumor-mongers!
And when he heard this, the first suspect who flashed into his mind was her Shen Yunxi! Except for her, no one dared to pluck the feathers on the head of his tiger!
The hand hanging on the table was slowly clenched, the green tendons on the back of the hand jumped suddenly, and the inky eyes flashed with devouring light!
Shen Yunxi, it's best not to let this king find out that you did it, otherwise, you won't know how you died!
