Volume 1: The Palace, Chapter 26: A Woman Without Any Status
Lu Ziyue watched with his own eyes as Ah Pei's face became more and more pale, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.
She couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, but she heard the sound of blood spurting out.
"Poof!"
The blood on Ah Pei's chest sprayed on her dress, and the plain skirt was dyed with a large area of red and became bewitching.
She could even feel the temperature of the blood, it was warm, but it didn't take long for it to cool down completely.
Just like Ngapoi's life, before it fully bloomed, it was forced to die.
Xiao Qi didn't expect Ah Pei's temperament to be so strong, and he ended her life without any hesitation.
She sighed and withdrew her dagger and jade plaque.
Since Ah Pei is dead, there is no need for her to threaten Wu Liang.
Xiao Qi walked to Lu Ziyue's side, squatted down and pulled out a silk handkerchief from her waist to cover Ah Pei's face, she patted Lu Ziyue's shoulder: "Princess Niangniang, there are some things that we can't control, since Miss Ah Pei has chosen this path, then the princess must not be sad, and respect Miss Ah Pei's choice." ”
"Respect her choice, okay, of course I will respect her, but those who have done wrong things, there is no room for repentance and atonement with me, and their only remaining choice is to accompany Ah Pei."
She wiped away her tears and turned her head to look at Xiao Qi, her eyes full of grief and hatred.
"Lend me that dagger you just had, I'll be useful."
"Princess, now is not a good time for revenge, if you act recklessly, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to explain it."
Xiao Qi shook her head, although she also hated that group of scum and scum very much, but after all, these people were from Shen Guo, if she killed them casually now, she was afraid that it would cause people outside to discuss.
Lu Ziyue acted very high-profile when he was at the door just now, but I am afraid that it has already attracted the attention of many people at that time, if it is now, if there is another death, Xiao Qi is afraid that things will make a bigger fuss.
"You just have to answer whether I borrow or not."
Lu Ziyue looked at her with red eyes: "If you don't want to lend it to me, I'll ask others." ”
"That's it." Xiao Qi struggled in his heart, but still took out the dagger in his sleeve and handed it to Lu Ziyue, "Princess, be careful." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the dagger was in Lu Ziyue's hand.
Lu Ziyue walked towards the jailer with a dagger, and she could see the fear in the jailer's eyes.
"This time you did something wrong, logically speaking, you should have used Ah Pei to personally stab you, but now she has no chance, I will do it for her, after this matter is over, your family will also be implicated, do you have complaints?"
With a dagger in her hand, she looked at the trembling jailer on his knees with red eyes, and she could feel his fear three steps away from him.
It can be seen that he wants to live.
But if he wants to live, why would he deprive Apoi of his right to live?
"There are no complaints, but the family is innocent, and I ask the princess to open the net."
The jailer kowtowed violently, and when he looked up, his eyes were filled with tears, and there was a faint sense of remorse in them.
But it was too late, he couldn't control his desires in the first place, and now he had to pay the price for his recklessness.
And those who weren't there, none of them could escape.
Lu Ziyue will use their blood to pay tribute to Ngapoi.
After coming out of Dali Temple, Lu Ziyue got into the carriage alone and lost her soul, Xiao Qi kept following her, paying attention to her every move, for fear that she would accidentally bump into her because of a moment of sadness.
got into the carriage behind her, took out the tea from the cabinet on the side, poured a cup for Lu Ziyue, and said, "Miss Apoi's death, how do you plan to solve it, princess?" Whether to send it back to Da Yue or stay in Shen State. ”
"Send her back to Da Yue Kingdom, although Da Yue Kingdom has officially become the territory of Shen State, but the people on that land are still familiar to Ah Pei, the air, and the trees are all what she remembers, not to mention, Ah Pei will not want to stay in this land that embarrasses her."
Her eyes turned red again, and tears fell one after another.
"Do you think I'm pathetic, as the regent princess, I can't even protect my maid, and as the princess of the Dayue Kingdom, I can't even protect my own people."
She lowered her head to look at the blood-stained dress, which had begun to darken in places.
A smell of blood filled the entire carriage, and Lu Ziyue felt that his breath was rusty.
But she didn't feel half disgusted, but felt very sad in her heart.
She didn't have the ability to leave Ah Pei, nor did she have the ability to resist Shen Xie to the end.
Xiao Qi had already prepared a lot of comforting words, but she didn't know how to speak when she saw Lu Ziyue's decadent appearance.
I could only pour her a cup of herbal tea: "Princess, it's not your fault in the first place, there are too many variables in the war between the two countries, Ah Pei, Ah Pei is not wrong, it's just that those people are too crazy." ”
"But if I had been tougher and resolutely refused to let Shen Xie take Ah Pei, Ah Pei would not have died now, do you know how much I regret it? In order to protect my father and mother, I acquiesced in him sending Ah Pei to the prison of Dali Temple, but now I have not saved anyone. ”
She covered her face with both hands, hot tears streaming down her hands.
There was a small sobbing sound in her throat, Xiao Qi pursed her lips, she didn't comfort Lu Ziyue, she could only gently pat her shoulder, so as to give her a little comfort.
The carriage traveled slowly, but the distance between Dali Temple and the Regent's Mansion was only two streets, so it didn't take long for them to arrive.
Lu Ziyue was still immersed in sadness, Xiao Qi lifted the curtain and looked around, at this moment, the door of the Regent's Mansion was already surrounded by many people watching the excitement.
Most of them rushed from Dali Temple, and the liveliness of the famous family is not to be seen.
Things have already started to get bigger, and although these people who are watching the excitement still don't know what is happening inside the marble prison, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news will come out sooner or later.
When the time comes, the princess will not be a good person.
At that time, no one would pity Miss Ngapoi, they would only think that the princess did not pity the lives of their Shen people, not to mention that the princess did something too much in this matter, more than ten people and more than ten families, overnight, all the doors were destroyed.
Lu Ziyue also felt that the carriage had stopped steadily, she put her hands down, revealing a teary-eyed face, she took out a veil from the box at the bottom of the carriage and wrapped it around her face.
At this moment, only a pair of red eyes were revealed.
"Little Seven." Her voice was still choked, "Is the prince in the mansion now?" ”
"Yes, the prince didn't go out today, just the princess." Xiao Qi looked at her with some concern, "Ah Pei's matter has nothing to do with the prince, if the princess insists on attributing this matter to the prince, I am afraid that the prince will be angry again, and when the time comes, Miss Ah Pei may not be able to return to Dayue." ”
Xiao Qi's worry was beyond words, Lu Ziyue saw it very clearly, her heart that was about to be cold felt warm at the moment, took Xiao Qi's hand, and said: "Don't worry, I have a number in my heart, not to mention that even if I want to blame, the first thing I blame is myself." ”
She said again: "I owe you a favor for the matter over there in Dali Temple, and I will pay you back if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Xiao Qi nodded: "There is no need for the princess to be so polite, the princess is in Shen Yuan now, the princess should go quickly." ”
Lu Ziyue nodded.
She got out of the carriage alone and walked towards the regent's palace.
Didn't give a look to the people around who were watching the excitement.
Xiao Qi did not get out of the car, but asked the coachman to send her to Dali Temple again.
Lu Ziyue killed the jailer with her own hands just now and left, there are still many things left for her to deal with, it is easy to kill people, but it is not easy to find a way to hide the murder in the past.
What's more, Xiao Qi still has more than ten scum to deal with.
Shen Yuan was as quiet as ever, Shen Xie never liked to come here when the maid had nothing to do.
She pushed open the door of the study, Shen Xie was dealing with affairs, he seemed to have encountered a very tricky matter, his thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a touch of deep thought between his eyebrows.
Lu Ziyue took a few steps forward: "There is something I want to ask you for." ”
Shen Xie knew that she was coming when she opened the door, and he didn't speak because he didn't know how to speak.
He thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect Lu Ziyue to have something to ask for.
put down the cinnabar pen in his hand to review government affairs, straightened up and looked at her, only to find that the woman in front of him had red eyes and a veil on her face.
He got up and walked a few steps in front of Lu Ziyue, and tore the veil off her face, only then did he clearly see her pale face and red lips full of tooth marks.
Looking at the shape of those tooth marks, Shen Xie could tell that these were all bitten by herself.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to Dali Temple today to bring Ngapoi back? ”
Shen Xie frowned: "Are those people in Dali Temple embarrassing you?" ”
"With the order of the regent, how dare they embarrass me?" Lu Ziyue smiled bitterly, "As soon as I arrived at Dali Temple, all those people came out to kneel down to greet me, giving me enough face, but guess why are they so good to me, giving me face as a princess of a dead country?" ”
Shen Xie was still a little patient with Lu Ziyue in his heart, but when he heard her speech like this, he was also a little impatient.
Then he said: "Why do you want to give you face, don't you know it in your own heart?" ”
"How could I not be clear?" Lu Ziyue heard the impatience in his words, and his tone was no longer sad, but with a bit of sarcasm, "They respect me and give me face, it's just for your face, Shen Xie, in their eyes, I'm just a woman without any status." ”
