Chapter 137: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight (2)
Although it was almost half of the night, the lights in the Jinci Palace were still bright. Princess Xiao Yunyi sat next to her bed, one of her hands tied with a rope to the nearest pillar to her bed. Princess Su'an's face was haggard, and she sat on the edge of the bed, gently flicking the veil on her face with her other hand from time to time. The people guarding the door were hand-picked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they seemed to have to change shifts every two hours, in short, there must be someone here who wanted to watch her at Princess Su'an. Princess Su'an was bored and wanted to sleep when a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Well, how's it going?"
"I've been watching, but there's no movement."
"No movement?"
"Maybe I'm asleep."
"Humph! Can you still sleep now? I'll go in and take a look. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are clear."
Hearing a "squeak", the door opened, and Princess Su'an half-bowed her head, but raised her eyes to look at the person who walked in. Xiao Yuhuan deliberately slowed down his steps, humming some tunes in his mouth, as if he was walking in the garden, and walked in front of Princess Su'an.
"Yo ~ Su An! How can you, as a princess, sit here? Since it's a princess, you have to look like a princess, don't you say? Yes! Oh~ By the way, look at my memory, I almost forgot that your hands are still tied. ”
Princess Su'an still looked at him with her eyes raised, and asked in a cold voice: "In the dead of night, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come in such a hurry?" ”
"Su'an! Don't look at me like that, you know? Princess Su'an withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him.
Xiao Yuhuan walked straight to Princess Su'an, sat on her bed and said, "Su'an, now it's a matter of things!" You are my sister, but I can't figure out why you are always so good to Xiao Shuyu? You see, my guess is really good, now that such a big thing has happened to you, he has not shown his face once, but he has dissociated himself from you, and he wishes to be far away from you. I ask you, is it worth it? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really joking, I can only blame myself for not knowing how to be kind to others on weekdays, but I have developed a character of not being humble and rude, naturally some people see that I am not used to it, so they make some stumbling blocks to lower my fire, and I have nothing to do with the King of Nanyang, so there is no need for him to come forward to do anything."
"Hmph~" Xiao Yuhuan casually put his hand on Princess Su'an's head and patted it, "Su'an, what benefits did he Nanyang King give you to make you speak for him like this?" I still remember that whenever he had a problem, it must be you who stepped in to solve it. Either send someone to investigate, or try to save him from danger. I remember, you kept an eye on me, didn't you? He stroked Princess Su'an's hair with his hand and said, "As the crown prince and also your brother, I was already very merciful to you by hiding the matter from my father and not telling the emperor, right?" But now that you can't protect yourself, why are you still protecting him like this? Is it because he Xiao Shuyu is powerful and powerful? No, he is just a prince now, and there is a grand occasion in front of the house, how can he be regarded as powerful? Or is it because Xiao Shuyu took better care of you when he was a child? But I am your own brother, and I have not taken care of you longer than he has? What is there about him that you can bother so hard to help him? Su'an, you tell me! Why? It is I, Xiao Yuhuan, who can wish you peace for the rest of your life and enjoy the glory and wealth to the fullest! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today! The future emperor! It's your own brother! King Nanyang, what can he give you? He's just a down-and-out, unguarded waste prince! What can he give you?! How can you help outsiders? ”
Princess Su'an replied very indifferently: "Because Xiao Shuyu is flesh and blood, he is human." It's a pity you're not. ”
Xiao Yuhuan gritted his teeth and pressed his hand Princess Su'an's head, while he leaned down to Princess Su'an's face, stared at her viciously, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still couldn't say it. He slowly lowered his hand, slammed into his body, turned his back to Princess Su'an, and said in a stiff tone, "I hate your self-righteous appearance the most. But if you can really anticipate things like God, then make a wish that the person I want will never come. With that, he left Jinci Palace without looking back.

"Wooing?!" When Mu Zhixi heard this, she rolled over from the bed to the ground on her side, looking at Shang Ling and Mo Cheng incredulously.
Mu Jinggong pushed her awkwardly and said, "Sister! You used to be everyone's best girl! Why did I stay in Lingxian Pavilion for a few years, and my personality became more and more ......"
"Oops, oops, I see." Mu Zhixi squeezed her eyes at Mu Jinggong and smiled, and Mu Jinggong didn't say anything more.
Feng Xunyi was also quite interested: "Is it Xuan Gongzi's own will to ask for marriage?" ”
"Ah Xuan?" Shang Ling pursed his lips and said, "Actually, that's what he thinks in his heart, but he's always embarrassed to say it for the sake of face." As far as his performance towards Senior Sister Ruolin is concerned, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and the two of them have been grinding and grinding, and they have always been unable to pick out and say, so that all of us have nowhere to have fun. ”
Mu Zhixi smiled unabashedly: "Oh~ I'll just say it." You are in such a hurry to do things for the senior brother, it turns out that you are just to have fun for yourself! ”
Shang Ling: "I'm happy! Everyone has been traveling for so long, wouldn't it be nice to add a happy event? ”
Mu Jinggong: "When did you start thinking about this matter carefully?" ”
Mo Cheng: "It didn't take long, I happened to meet Master Xuan two days ago, and I casually talked about it. ”
"Two days ago?" Feng Xunyi poured himself a glass of water, "You thought about it two days ago, why didn't you wait until today to tell us?" ”
"Oops! Qiwei~" Shang Ling walked around to Feng Xunyi and put his shoulder on his shoulder, "Didn't we think about it for two days?" Just to find out Ah Xuan's mind more accurately, isn't this prepared? ”
"Qiwei?" Mu Jinggong sat aside and stared at Shang Lingdao, "You call him Qiwei?" ”
Shang Ling said with an innocent face: "What's wrong?" Isn't Feng Gongzi's name Qiwei? Am I wrong? ”
"It's not~" Mu Jinggong frowned, "Why are you two big men so intimate?" Besides, how can you call the famous name of the blood wave on the rivers and lakes casually? ”
"Oops~" Shang Ling held back a smile, "What? Mu Jinggong? I call him by his name, and you are not happy if they haven't said anything? It's hard to do it, you ...... too"
"Hey!" Mu Jinggong interrupted Shang Ling's words with a fierce shout, she hurriedly glanced at Feng Xunyi, and found that he was not looking at herself, so she relieved her heart and said, "Honorable...... Respect! Do you understand? ”
"Good, good!" Shang Ling only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, "You're right! Respect! Respect! He smiled and turned around and said, "Huh? Yu Tzu-hyuk? What do you think of our ......" When he looked back, he realized that Yu Tzu-hyuk was not in this room at all, "Huh? What about Yu Tzu-hyuk? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Mo Cheng said, "I went to knock on Miss Yu's door this morning, but she didn't seem to be there, so I left." ”
Shang Ling: "Not here? Where else could she go when she wasn't in the room? ”
Mo Cheng: "Maybe it's going out for a walk?" ”
"Distracted?" Shang Ling patted his head and said, "Why is she always like this?" Don't say a word when you go out. But anyway, I don't seem to have seen her much in the last few days! ”
Mu Zhixi: "Hearing you say this, I really haven't seen her much in the past few days." ”
Mu Jinggong: "She is often alone, and it's normal that we can't see her." ”
Shang Ling shook his head and said, "Hey, that's it, I'll tell her when he comes back later." "Everyone was about to continue to discuss the matter of Xuan Zhuyi and Ouyang Ruolin when the door suddenly rang.
"Young master! Young master, are you there? ”
Mo Cheng looked at the other people, stood up and walked towards the door with a little apology.
"Young master!"
"What's wrong? What's up? Mo Cheng was about to go out and closed the door.
But this matter seemed to be urgent, and the man couldn't wait for Mo Cheng to close the door and said, "Young master! Tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take Princess Su'an to the dungeon, and it is said that she will be executed soon. ”
Mo Cheng's hand stopped halfway: "Execution? What punishment? ”
"Kill yourself."
"Suicide?!" Mo Cheng was shocked, "Isn't rebellion a capital crime?" How to ......"
"It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has conclusive evidence of Princess Su'an's rebellion."
"What about the emperor? He Xiao Yuhuan can do this before he waits? ”
"News from the palace, the emperor had a stroke a few days ago and was bedridden. All matters in the palace are handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Mo Cheng didn't stand firm for a while, and fell on the door: "He is trying to seize power and usurp the throne." ”
"Who!" Shang Ling rushed out of it and said, "Xiao Yuhuan wants to seize power and usurp the throne?!" ”
The rest of the people also walked out together, and Mu Zhixi stood in front of Mo Cheng and asked, "What's wrong with Princess Su'an?" What are you talking about? ”
Mo Cheng was a little at a loss, but when he saw that several people were looking at him blankly, he said, "Originally, I didn't plan to tell you about this matter, but since you heard it, then I'll tell you the truth." A few days ago, there was a murder in Princess Su'an's Jinci Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince designated Princess Su'an as the murderer and confined her in Jinci Palace. Today, I just got the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will put Princess Su'an in prison tomorrow. It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has evidence of Princess Su'an's rebellion, so he will give her white silk poisoned wine in the near future and let her commit suicide. ”
"Suicide?" Mu Jinggong frowned and said, "What about the emperor?" Why is it all His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who makes the decision? ”
"The emperor has had a stroke, and he is dying."
Shang Ling suddenly grabbed Mo Cheng's sleeve and said, "Mo Cheng! You tell me! That day, I met you talking to that big brother, are you talking about this? ”
Mo Cheng hesitated and nodded.
Shang Ling shouted, "It's happening! Yu Tzu Hyuk didn't go to relax at all! She's in the palace! ”
Mo Chengmeng: "How do you know?" ”
Shang Ling hurriedly said, "Do you remember that the tree we were standing on that day suddenly made a noise later?" It wasn't a few birds at all, it was Yu Cihyuk! She hears you all right! ”
