He Xiaoxiao stood in front of the gate where Shi Qianqian was being held and watched.

The door is painted black, and the door is covered with layers of thick cowhide. The room had no windows, only a small hole in one wall where she could breathe a little.

He Xiaoxiao looked at this small hole and wondered if if the people inside would be suffocated if the hole was blocked......

An armor-clad guard walked over, opened the large copper lock on the door, and then pushed open the heavy door, making a "go in" gesture to He Xiaoxiao.

The guard didn't say a word.

He Xiaoxiao pushed up a smile on her face, blessed the guard, and said, "This big brother has worked hard, Xiaoxiao will go and persuade Sister Shi to stop doing right with her grandfather and wife." As he spoke, he walked inside.

The guard slammed the door shut again.

Immediately it became dark again.

He Xiaoxiao took a lot of effort to adapt to the darkness in front of him.

Only a few glimmers of light peeked through the small hole in the wall, allowing her to get a rough view of what was going on inside.

At a glance, He Xiaoxiao immediately covered her mouth with her hand and hid the exclamation she was about to utter.

On the wall opposite her, Shi Qianqian, who was disheveled and ragged, was chained to several large wooden stakes on the wall in the shape of a "big" figure.

Although the light inside the door was not good, He Xiaoxiao could still see the traces of the whipping on Shi Qianqian's body.

"Sister Shi, why are you so troubled......" He Xiaoxiao approached Shi Qianqian, a little distressed.

Shi Qianqian looked up groggyly. When I opened my eyes and saw that it was He Xiaoxiao, I hurriedly asked, "Did my grandfather let you come?" You tell your grandfather, I'...... I ......" She didn't finish her sentence, but He Xiaoxiao's hand quietly choked her neck.

"Shi Qianqian, you slut who can't walk when you see a man! - You're so useless. The princess gave you such an important thing, let you find an opportunity, and asked for that person's life, but what do you see you do?! He Xiaoxiao approached Shi Qianqian and whispered in her ear.

Her voice was soft, but it was in Sissi's ears. It's like a bolt from the blue. She was tortured by An Zichang's men for three days. Didn't scare her like that.

"You...... You...... How do you know about the Dao? Shi Qianqian's throat was tightly choked by He Xiaoxiao, and soon there was only incoming air, not out.

"How did I know the Dao?" He Xiaoxiao chuckled, "...... You think you're the sap of the fox. Where did it come from? Her Royal Highness the princess has looked for you though. But she doesn't worry about you. She knew that the man was born like a demon. Few women can resist him. That's why the princess secretly sent me to spy on you. Over the years, your sister Shi has gradually mixed up, I thought. You're going to do it. But you have repeatedly delayed the opportunity! - That person you a few times, and you forget who you are! The enemy of the country doesn't even care about you, and he still wants to give that man a son! - Phew! ”

He Xiaoxiao spat at Shi Qianqian's face. The face that was originally delicate and smiling is now a hideous color.

Shi Qianqian glared at He Xiaoxiao, as if she had never seen her before, and her heart was full of fear.

It turns out that there are people watching her by her side!

Shi Qianqian used to have a little maid, she once suspected that she was the person of Princess Chaoyang, and later borrowed An Zichang's hand and got the little maid away.

Unexpectedly, she blamed the little maid by mistake.

He Xiaoxiao is the real princess of Chaoyang!

Shi Qianqian's heart was bitter.

Yes, at the beginning, Princess Chaoyang picked her out among many people, taught her all kinds of skills, and An Zichang's personality preferences, after training, first let her change her face, and entered the Shi family among the nine surnames of Zhaomu, and then sent her to An Zichang from Shi Hou's hands.

She waited for so many years, almost desperately, to get An Zichang's pity.

Princess Chaoyang was right. It is true that no woman can resist An Zichang's charm, especially when you are loved by him, you can't let go.

As Princess Chaoyang left Daqi and fled into the Turks, Shi Qianqian felt that the danger on her head had finally passed, so she began to think that she should be the one who accompanied him if she wanted to dominate An Zichang forever and let his position in the main room be vacant......

Such a secretive and foolproof plan and mind was actually broken by the Qin State lady Du Hengshuang, Shi Qianqian gritted her teeth, not hating An Zichang, nor hating He Xiaoxiao, but hating Du Hengshuang to the bone.

She screamed a few times, her eyes wide as a brass bell.

Although He Xiaoxiao looks weak, his hand strength is really not small.

Shi Qianqian thought vaguely, and gestured with her eyes more and more.

He Xiaoxiao slightly loosened the strength between her fingers, so that Shi Qianqian could speak.

Shi Qianqian coughed twice and said hoarsely to He Xiaoxiao: "...... You killed me, and you don't want to escape. I advise you to cooperate with me......"

When He Xiaoxiao heard this, the strength in his hand became bigger again, and he choked Shi Qianqian's throat again.

"Since I'm coming in, I didn't think about going out." He Xiaoxiao probed over and said a word in Shi Qianqian's ear, hugged Shi Qianqian's neck with both hands, twisted and twisted, clicked for a lifetime, and pinched Shi Qianqian's neck alive.

Sissy's head drooped at a strange angle, and her long black hair hung down on the sides of her cheeks, covering her head tightly.

He Xiaoxiao didn't bother looking for anything else, she pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and plunged it directly into her throat.

Blood gushed down her throat.

He Xiaoxiao slowly fell to the ground, and her eyes fell on the only round hole in the outer wall of the room.

“…… Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xiao Xiao is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he did not let this slut reveal the princess's secrets......" He Xiaoxiao closed his eyes.

The guards guarding outside opened the door with a blank face, came to inspect them, and saw that the two women were dead, so they came out and said, "Go and report to the grandfather, and say that both of them are dead." ”

The other guard outside was startled. I came over to take a look, and hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to report the news.

As soon as An Zichang put Brother Yan down, he heard his people hurriedly come over to report back, saying that He Xiaoxiao and Shi Qianqian were dead!

An Zichang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly walked out, asked Du Hengxue to go in to accompany the child and Zhu Susu, and hurriedly went to the outer courtyard where Shi Qianqian was held.

When he came to the stone house, An Zichang looked around and asked carefully about the situation in the house.

The people who were staring at them had been watching from the outside before, and they only saw He Xiaoxiao leaning in front of Shi Xiqian to talk. I didn't care much about it. thought that he would have to wait a little more to convince Shi Qianqian.

Anzi often used a horsewhip to pull away Shi Qianqian's hair and take a look, shook his head and said, "It's really blind, it turns out that He Xiaoxiao is the main master." No wonder we can't find anything. Look at how hard she broke Shi Qianqian's neck with her bare hands. It's definitely a practitioner. After speaking, he secretly thought. The real dark line that Princess Chaoyang planted beside her turned out to be He Xiaoxiao. Shi Qianqian, who likes to cause trouble and give advice, is just a cover for them.

If he had known that He Xiaoxiao was the mastermind, he would not have let her come to see Shi Qianqian so easily.

It can only be said. He Xiaoxiao is really pretending to be too good, she has always been Shi Qianqian's follower, and her image of having no opinions and no brains is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people......

An Zichang squatted down again to check the cause of He Xiaoxiao's death.

His guards pulled out the golden hairpin that He Xiaoxiao had committed suicide and showed it to An Zichang, saying, "Grandpa, this is not a golden hairpin, but a gold-plated iron hairpin." ”

Yasuko often nodded. Gold is so soft, if it is pure gold, it cannot be used to pierce the throat at all.

Only the iron hairpin can be justified.

"Forget it, take it out and burn it, and throw the ashes on the Zhuangzi to fertilize the field." An Zichang gave a faint command and turned to leave.

That night, a fire broke out in the courtyard where Ke Lanlan and Xiang Tingting lived.

The guards and subordinates of the Anguo Mansion tried their best to rescue, but they couldn't stop the shocking fire, and burned the two small courtyards to the ground.

An Zichang only came to inspect it, and was sure that Ke Lanlan and Xiang Tingting were buried in the fire, so he ordered to pick up some ashes, put them in the jar, and put them in Yizhuang.

After sitting for a few days, Zhu Susu found that the atmosphere in the house was unusual.

She's an impatient person. As soon as his body improved, he became curious, pestering Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue to ask what happened.

Du Hengshuang told An Zichang about the disposal of the four concubines, and told Zhu Susu that the dangers she had when she gave birth were all related to those concubines.

Zhu Susu gasped, was surprised and angry, patted the bed and said, "It's all An Zichang's fault!" If he hadn't been able to control his belt, my child and I wouldn't have suffered this loss! ”

Du Hengshuang laughed horribly, and waited for all the plain qi to finish, before he said softly: "If you don't go through anything, you won't grow wise." A person like An Guogong, if he hadn't gone through such a thing, how could he know what to do in the future? You better think about it, this is your chance......" he said, smiling meaningfully.

Zhu Susu came back to his senses and took a sip of Du Hengshuang, but secretly calculated in his heart.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Yongchang finally announced that Du Hengshuang and the family members of Pei Dun, the governor of Lingnan, entered the palace to listen to the seal.

Du Hengshuang accepted the edict of Emperor Yongchang in the Taiji Hall together with Feng Pei Dun's wife Shao Shi and Erfang Mu Yelai.

After the enthronement, Emperor Yongchang issued another decree, saying that the twenty-second day of the lunar month held a palace banquet in the palace, one is to pray for the dragon species carried by the concubine, and the other is to pray for the wind and rain in the coming year, gather the subordinates into the palace, and celebrate the whole world before the New Year.

Du Hengshuang took Mrs. Qin's guard of honor back to the Du family, settled the things, and then went back to the Anguo Mansion. She has to take care of Zhu Susu's confinement, and she can only go home during the Chinese New Year.

"Chamber, hurry up." Du Hengshuang urged in the car.

Chambers answered, but the carriage slowed down again.

"What's wrong?" Du Hengshuang lifted the curtain and asked.

Chambers didn't speak, but pointed ahead.

Du Hengshuang looked up and saw Xiao Shiji wearing a gray cloth dress and a gray hat on his head, standing on the side of the road opposite, looking at her silently.

This dress is not recognized by ordinary people. Unless it is someone like Du Hengshuang and Qian Bo who are very familiar with him......

Du Hengshuang raised his hand and lowered the curtain of the car, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Chambers didn't move, but jumped out of the car.

Xiao Shiji walked over slowly and said to Du Hengshuang in front of the car window: "I'm here to tell you, I'm going to take the child to my house for a few days." ”

Du Hengshuang's heart tightened, and he turned his head sideways and said, "Your family?" There is no one in your house to watch the children...... "I am worried that the children are not safe in the Xiao family."

Xiao Shiji said with a smile: "After the twenty-second day of the lunar month, I will take a break until the fifteenth day of the first month of next year." - I will accompany them personally. ”

The twenty-second day of the lunar month is the day of the palace banquet. Xiao Shiji is the goalkeeper in the palace, and he will definitely guard in the palace.

His Majesty held a palace banquet this year before the New Year, and there should be no more after the New Year.

Xiao Shiji saw Du Hengshuang's puzzled expression, and said softly: "Your Majesty wants to take the concubine to Luoyang after the year......

Du Hengshuang nodded and said, "I see." And said: "Last time, in the Anguo Mansion, thank you for your help......"

Xiao Shiji shook his head lightly and said seriously: "It's none of my business." I didn't do anything. His thumb was broken on the ground when he fell, and the wound on his face was also rubbed on the wall by himself, and it has nothing to do with me, so you don't have to thank me. ”

Du Hengshuang glanced at him, "I didn't say what it was, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

Xiao Shiji smiled, took a step to the side, and watched Du Hengshuang's car go.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, get out of the way of the official! A series of roars came from the other side of the street, and dozens of guards with knives rode fast horses and ran across Chang'an Street.

Xiao Shiji shrank back again, almost blending in with the gray wall behind him. He glanced at the guards secretly.

It seems that it is the guard of the East Palace.

These wolf-like guards rode their horses to a teahouse not far away, dismounted, and rushed up like a gallop, grabbing Dr. Tea, who was spitting and talking in a notebook in the teahouse.

"Your old boy is not timid, and he even dares to arrange the affairs of His Majesty and the Prince, you don't want to live, do you?!" One of the guards slapped Dr. Nacha a dozen times in a row, beating him to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and then he was tied up with a rope and taken away.

Xiao Shiji looked at this scene expressionlessly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and slowly turned to leave.

Along the way, the people of Chang'an were talking to each other and whispering.

"How many are these?"

"How many? There must be a dozen or so, right? ”

"Who are these tea doctors recruiting, don't you just say a book? As for the crowd in such a way? ”

"What do you know? - This is not your average book. This story is that there was an emperor who was injured before ascending the throne and could not have children, but after a few years, his concubine Niangniang became pregnant. ”

"Huh? What do you mean ......? These turned out to be true?! ”

"I didn't believe it before, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is grabbing people who say this, and I believe ninety percent of them."

Xiao Shiji smiled and walked faster.
