Chapter 275: A Prophecy
Mother ~ Mother ~"
Zhao Mingsheng watched with a heartache as Sun Ying finally broke his last breath in front of him, and he let out a grief-stricken cry when he looked at the person who had died on the bed.
For a while, the eldest princess's mansion changed to a bleak white, and Zhao Mingsheng wore a doctor's snow-white linen cloth and sat in front of the mourning hall all day long to guard his filial piety for Sun Ying.
Although the emperor said that he would hold a funeral for Sun Ying, they were all rejected by Zhao Mingsheng. During this time, Zhao Mingsheng closed his door to thank customers, but no one had seen him for more than ten days, and he naturally didn't know the cause of Sun Ying's final death. The people of the capital are spreading that the eldest princess, who has a pure heart and few desires and is kind to others, chose such an obscure burial before her death in order not to let Haoyue Kingdom cause waste, neither banquet, no funeral, no movement, so quietly passed away for the long time. Zhao Mingsheng didn't expect that his unintentional behavior would earn Sun Ying a good reputation before he died.
Yunyan, who had been sitting at home and had been in a state of panic, learned of Sun Ying's death on the third day after returning from the eldest princess's mansion, and she couldn't believe that she found Mu Mo to ask what was going on.
"How so? I've already given her an antidote? ”
Mu Mo looked at Yunyan's surprised and flustered expression and was a little dissatisfied for no reason, he couldn't help but be unhappy and said flatly: "Maybe she herself has reached the end of her life, who can be blamed for this matter." Yan'er, don't you think that you have become a little concerned about Sun Ying's affairs recently, didn't there be any accident the last time you entered the Eldest Princess's Mansion? ”
For Mu Mo's vigilance, Yunyan became silent. Although Mu Mo had talked to her about this expression after coming back, Mu Mo knew that Yunyan still had something to hide from him. Seeing that Yunyan still didn't want to say that Mu Mo didn't mean to ask again, he just asked Yunyan not to go out for a few days, after all, Sun Ying had seen her before she died, and he was worried that Yunyan would be in danger of going out at this time.
Zhao Mingsheng quietly completed Sun Ying's funeral alone, and after sending her to the funeral, she was not depressed again as the world thought. He thought about the appearance of Yunyan that day and night, Zhao Mingsheng knew that poisoning his mother was definitely not Yunyan's intention, he sent someone to investigate the abnormalities that appeared in the eldest princess's mansion before, and finally locked the person in Sun Yu. Because Mu Mo was also thinking twice about poisoning Sun Ying that day, he now asked the people borrowed from Sun Yu to sneak into the princess's mansion in the middle of the night to investigate the environment before letting his people do it, so the first person Zhao Mingsheng could find was Sun Yu.
For this result, Zhao Mingsheng couldn't believe it. He didn't expect Sun Ying to really make a prophecy, and in the end, his friend who had treated him sincerely actually poisoned his mother.
Sun Yu, who had just come back from the banquet, looked at Zhao Mingsheng who was standing in his hall dressed in plain clothes, and he only felt very surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Mingsheng would come to him at this time.
At this time, Sun Yuqiang, who was slightly drunk, walked towards Zhao Mingsheng with a smile on his face, and said again and again: "Mingsheng, why are you ......?"
The last two words in his throat were cut off by the sharp sword that suddenly crossed the two of them, Sun Yu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the sharp blade that was close to his neck, his face suddenly turned pale, he never thought that Zhao Mingsheng would actually face him with a sword.
"You, what do you want?"
Sun Yu took a step back, his pale face changed to anger, and he squinted slightly at the man in front of him at this time, trying to see through his thoughts.
Zhao Mingsheng didn't take back the sword in his hand, he just stood in front of Sun Yu and said indifferently: "Why are you doing this?" ”
"What?"
"Hmph~" Zhao Mingsheng chuckled, ignoring the doubts on Sun Yu's face, and suddenly said to himself: "I just thought that you were stunned by power, so you forced me to marry Sun Qi regardless of your past kindness, but I didn't expect you to be a wolf-hearted person." Sun Yu, have you forgotten that you really came to this point, how did you become this prince? ”
Facing Zhao Mingsheng's questioning, Sun Yu was also ashamed. He thought that he treated Zhao Mingsheng well, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing to himself. Sun Yutie looked at Zhao Mingsheng with a blue face and said, "Zhao Mingsheng, don't be too presumptuous!" ”
"Presumptuous? You haven't seen a time when I've been so presumptuous. ”
Zhao Mingsheng's eyes were red, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at Sun Yu, Sun Yu quickly escaped Zhao Mingsheng's sword with a sideways hand. He didn't have time to think about it, so he pulled out a long sword from his waist and fought with Zhao Mingsheng, but Zhao Mingsheng didn't really kill him in the end, so he was naturally not defeated by Sun Yu's counterattack.
Looking at the long sword in his hand that was cut off by Sun Yu, Zhao Mingsheng suddenly laughed. Sun Yu listened to Zhao Mingsheng's inexplicable laughter and stopped his movements. I saw Zhao Mingsheng holding the long sword in his hand and pulling up his robe with one hand, and suddenly there was a sound of cotton cloth tearing, and I saw a plain white cotton cloth fall to the ground.
"Today, I, Zhao Mingsheng and Sun Yu, cut off their robes and break their righteousness, and from now on, they will never have anything to do with it!"
Zhao Mingsheng's cold voice echoed in the hall, but that person was long gone, if it weren't for a piece of cut cotton cloth on the ground and a broken long sword that showed everything that had really happened, Sun Yu only felt that he was like a dream.
He knew that Sun Ying's death was inseparable from Mu Mo, but he didn't expect that the extremely smart Zhao Mingsheng would not go to Mu Mo but find his own head. Because he has been busy dealing with Sun Qi and his marriage with the Zhang family these days, he has not organized Mumo's actions, although this matter is not his doing, but it is not completely unrelated.
After that, Mu Mo felt very satisfied when he learned that Zhao Mingsheng married Sun Yu, and now that Sun Yu has completely lost Zhao Mingsheng's support, then he will have more initiative in cooperation with Sun Yu in the future.
In the face of Sun Ying's death, the entire Haoyue Kingdom was like a lake that was thrown into a stone. In the face of her death, the people in the capital were more or less fluctuated, but for Sun Qi, she was like being at the center of the whirlpool, and Sun Ying's death was a huge blow to her.
Because she finally got the cooperation with Sun Ying, she didn't expect that Sun Ying would die like this just a few days later. In the face of Sun Yuxing's pursuit of victory, Sun Qi began to be a little tired of fighting.
She looked at Sun Ji, who was at a loss in front of her, and couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now?" Is it just watching Sun Yu's villain gain power? ”
Because of the cooperation between Mumo and Sun Yu, Sun Ji was also told that Ran Cheng had suffered a lot of fluctuations. Because Mu Cong interfered with it, there was a shortage of raw materials in Ran Cheng, and at this time, he reached a cooperation with a prince surnamed Wang in Ran Cheng, as if he wanted to support the son surnamed Wang to replace him. If it weren't for the fact that Sun Ji's forces under Sun Ji who had been entrenched in Rancheng for many years had been entrenched, he would not have had the leisure to stay in the capital and listen to Sun Qi's complaints.
"What do you want? Don't forget that Sun Yu now has the support of Mumo, not to mention that he now has the support of Prime Minister Zhang's side, it is really unrealistic for you to want to move him. I have said that I will not abandon you, Sun Qi, you should be able to see why I am the king of the king, why will I let you go, if you are willing to let go of everything here, I can take you away now, and give you a free life and endless glory and wealth. ”
Yes, Sun Ji's kindness to Sun Qi has always been purposeful. Let him be a man who succumbs to a woman, except for having a mind for her and already bowing down under her pomegranate skirt, otherwise what else can there be?
Sun Qi has always known this answer, but she is unwilling to admit it all the time, and she has worked hard to manage all this, how can she say that she will let it go.
"Even if I can't move Sun Yu now, I won't just give up. Since Sun Yu doesn't let me feel better, then don't think that I will make him feel better! ”
Faced with Sun Yu's obsession, Sun Ji could only sigh. He knew that he couldn't persuade her, and now he was just killing his good impression of Sun Qi here, and when he lost interest in Sun Yu at all, he would naturally be able to leave without worry.
However, Sun Qi didn't know all this, all she was thinking about now was how to deal with Sun Yu. Now that Sun Ying's funeral is over, Sun Yu is also busy preparing for his marriage to Zhang Yingzhao. Now, with Sun Yu's momentum, once the marriage between him and the Zhang family is reached, it will be really a fool's dream to think about it again.
Thinking about it, Sun Qi suddenly remembered a person, and the haze in her heart gradually dissipated when she thought of that person, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Instead of letting yourself think hard about how to do it to Sun Yu, it is better to see them in the nest, this kind of strategy of competing with the fishermen for profit is naturally the wisest.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is now preparing for Zhang Yingzhao's marriage, and Zhang Yingqing, who is like an abandoned son, also got a place to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion after her hard work. It's just that since then, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been as if she has never existed, no one mentions the word Zhang Yingqing anymore, and no one remembers that in the past, this majestic Prime Minister's Mansion was also full of lights and was preparing to marry a daughter to the crown prince Sun Yu.
Zhang Yingqing, who was forgotten in the corner, originally thought that her future would be spent like this, but she never thought that a man in black would find her on the night three days before Zhang Yingzhao's marriage.
"Who are you?"
Now that Zhang Yingqing, who is unarmed and unprotected, is naturally very wary of this kind of person who does not know what to do, she retreated to a place where she thought it was safe, and looked at the man in front of her with a black scarf and a face of vigilance, and her intuition told her that the person in front of her was not good.
"Hmph~ Is the former crown princess really willing to accept the life she has now?"
"What do you mean?" In the face of the ridicule of the man in black, Zhang Yingqing couldn't get angry, anyway, now she is already stealing her life, if she really cares about the ridicule of others, then she is afraid that she will be laughed at by Zhang Yingzhao a long time ago.
"Do you want revenge? I can help you! ”
"What do you mean, I don't understand." Zhang Yingqing, who has experienced life and death and betrayal, is no longer the arrogant and self-righteous eldest lady she used to be, she knows that there is no free lunch in the world, even if she is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion or the former crown princess, all of this has to be paid in exchange.
