Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Princess
"The assassin infiltrated your Tongzhi Courtyard, as the mistress of the Qi Palace, but did not investigate, it is indeed a dereliction of duty, what if it is not the Seventh Lady who assassinated today, but the king?" Liu Xu entered with his hands, his tone was not very harsh, but the words he said were terrifying.
The princess was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, and pleaded with a pale face: "The concubine is incompetent, and she has not been able to identify people with other intentions, please forgive the prince!"
Liu Xu helped the princess up, and his tone was faint and he couldn't hear the joy and anger in it: "Princess, get up, your body has always been good, and your spirit is not good, and it is reasonable not to notice that some assassins have been placed, and the seventh lady will not blame you! ”
Half of Princess Qi's power was originally divided by the second lady, and according to Zhao Xu's meaning, such a thing was also handed over to the second lady, which was to completely empty the princess.
Mo Ziyu glanced at the princess's face, and sure enough, there was some change, like forbearance, grievance, and sigh, and finally turned into a helpless smile: "Yes, everything is up to the prince." ”
Does Zhao Xu really value the second lady so much?
Yang's father is a popular fried chicken, and he was promoted to two levels within a year, and the official worships the household squire, the old Shangshu is already over the age of old, and he is ready to return to the field, everyone knows that this Yang Shilang may be the next Hubu Shangshu. Yang's brother works in Honglu Temple, and recently the Western Wei Dynasty is ready to move, wanting to unite with Southern Chu to fight together, which involves negotiation-related matters, all of which are operated by Honglu Temple.
The momentum of the Yang family in recent years is indeed very strong, and although the princess was born in the Langya Wang family, she is a side branch, and her father and brother are also unknown, which is indeed not as great as the Yang family's help to Zhao Xu, does Zhao Xu want to abolish the Wang family and establish the Yang family?
If the princess is hollowed out, and she has not gained a firm foothold in the palace, even if she joins forces with the third lady, she is afraid that she will not be the opponent of the Yang family, who is not a standout.
When Mo Ziyu was thinking, Liu Xu had already walked in front of her: "Are you okay?"
She was startled for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "It's okay." ”
Liu Xu pulled Mo Ziyu's wrist, looked at her plastered wound, and blew gently: "Does it still hurt?"
"This medicine has a pain-relieving effect, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, and added, "It really doesn't hurt." ”
Liu Xu glanced at Qingling coldly: "This king asked you to protect the safety of the Seventh Lady with you, and that's how you protect it?"
The tone in which he said this was much harsher than when he reproached the princess, and it made people feel a compelling majesty.
"It's a subordinate mistake, please punish the prince!" Qing Ling knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Don't take it as an example, if there is another mistake like this, you don't have to stay in King Qi's mansion. Liu Xu said coldly.
Then Mo Ziyu was sent back to Qiushuiyuan to recuperate, and Liu Xu stayed to comfort the princess a few words, and then left.
Qiu Tong looked at the princess's sad appearance, sighed, and it was not easy to persuade her, so she asked the maid to cook a cup of ginseng tea and brought it over, and said softly: "Princess, drink ginseng tea! Don't think about it too much, the prince will understand the princess's mind sooner or later." ”
At this time, I saw that the princess suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Qiu Tong coldly, slammed the bowl containing ginseng soup in the tray on the ground, lowered her voice and asked sharply: "Who let you make your own decisions!"
Qiu Tong knelt on the ground and bit her lip: "The princess is angry, this is what it means!"
"Hahaha!" the princess laughed to herself, "am I still your master? you can act without my consent? they only want to achieve their goals, have you ever thought about my situation?"
"The princess forgives her sins, the slave didn't expect Chunmei to fail, and she didn't expect the prince to be so angry, the matter would be so serious!" Qiu Tong said apologetically.
"These days, the prince has been looking for the power in my hands, I have always acted carefully, I dare not make the slightest mistake, you are good, ruined my years of hard work!" The princess sneered, "I'm afraid that my Tongzhi Academy won't be able to keep your big Buddha!"
"Is the princess going to drive the slave and maid away? Although the slave and maid are hiding from the princess, they are also for the good of the princess! The above has always suspected that the princess has a personal affair with the princess, if she doesn't do this this time, I am afraid that they will take action, and the slave and maid know that if you know about this matter, you must have many scruples, so she arranged such a thing on her own initiative. Qiu Tong continued with tears in her eyes, "Please see that the slave and maid are loyal to you again, and don't drive away the slave and maid!"
The princess sighed heavily, full of helplessness and powerlessness, closed her eyes, and pressed her temple with one hand: "You get up, clean up here, if others see what it looks like." ”
After the original subordinates of Qiushui Yuan learned the news that Mo Ziyu was injured again, they were quite distressed, the old injuries had not healed, and new injuries were added, when would this be the end!
Mo Ziyu doesn't care much about his injury now, the second lady's power has risen again, and this time she has Liu Xu's words, I am afraid that this Qi Wangfu will start to be bloody for a while.
"It's Qingling's negligence, and this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. Qing Ling frowned, and said with a serious expression, "Since the prince has entrusted the safety of the Seventh Lady to me, I will definitely do my best, please rest assured that the Seventh Lady will not let the Seventh Lady have anything to do in the future." ”
"There is a way that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I can't prevent it, you don't have to blame yourself, not to mention that the gadget you gave me saved my life!" Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, "Is Chunmei really an assassin?"
"Judging by my experience, eight or nine is not far from ten. ”
"Was she an assassin before she entered the palace or was she developed into an assassin in the palace?Why did she assassinate me?Who instructed her behind the scenes?" Mo Ziyu's eyes turned slightly, "What do you think about this?"
"I only trust the evidence, I can only speculate from the evidence I have, and I don't make unfounded conjectures. Qing Ling thought for a while and said, "I will try my best to investigate this matter and find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"
Qing Ling spoke very cautiously, but it did not leak, Mo Ziyu was not unhappy in his heart, but felt that this Qing Ling might really be a person worth relying on.
However, for the assassin's behind-the-scenes envoy, she also has a rough answer in her heart, at this time, she will assassinate her as a royal concubine and an unknown person, who else can there be?
