Chapter Seventy-Nine: Assassination of the Crown Princess
Although Fang Jinyuan has not come back for many years, the relationship with her family is still the same as before, but because of the letter that happened just now, her attitude towards Mrs. Liu and Fang Caiwu is a little colder now.
Fortunately, Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu persuaded each other before, and Fang Jinyi thought about the overall situation, so there was nothing unpleasant during dinner.
After dinner, Fang Yanyu went to the military department, tomorrow is the canonization ceremony of the crown princess, and he needs to discuss the deployment of troops with the military department.
Because they had said that they were going to drink before, after dinner, they first went to wander around the street together, bought some things by the way, and then went back to the general's mansion.
The location was set in the courtyard where Fang Jinyi lived, and the rest of the place was preparing for tomorrow's big wedding, and no one would bother with this courtyard.
Su Muqiu looked at Fang Jinyi on the side, and saw her holding a rattle and laughing happily, so she couldn't help but smile, and then said: "I didn't expect Madam to like these gadgets so much, and I will go out to find more for you in the future." ”
Fang Jinyi turned his head to look at him, and then put the rattle aside, "No need, it's not a child, I'm just a little curious when I see these gadgets, who knows that the eldest brother will buy them all." ”
Fang Jinyuan on the side looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "Didn't you like these gadgets the most when you were a child?" ”
Fang Jinyi showed a slightly shy expression and whispered: "That was when I was a child, and now that I have grown up, it is inevitable that I will be ridiculed if I play with these things again." ”
"Madame's mother-in-law's family is a big family, who dares to laugh at Madame?" Su Muqiu teased with a smile.
"What do you say?" Fang Jinyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Apart from you, who else is so boring." ”
Su Muqiu looked at her with a smile on his face, he found that since Fang Jinyi came back, Fang Jinyi was like a different person, speaking casually, but full of confidence.
Su Zixu on the side picked up the little tiger doll on the table and weighed it in his hand, smiled and said to Fang Jinyi: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother did it on purpose, he wished you liked more gadgets, so that he could buy them to please you." ”
"Do you think your eldest brother is this kind of person?" Fang Jinyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him in disbelief.
Who knew that Su Zixu nodded with a smile and said, "Not before, since I married my sister-in-law, the whole person has changed." ”
As soon as Su Zixu finished speaking, Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu glanced at each other, with a hint of inquiry in their eyes, but they quickly turned their heads to look away.
"Big brother."
Suddenly remembering the voice behind them, everyone turned their heads to see that Fang Zihuai was running towards them with an excited face.
Fang Jinyuan looked at Fang Zihuai who ran in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Where have you been running all day?" ”
"I went to help my friend find his relatives." Fang Zihuai replied with a smile, "I just heard the people on the street discussing that the eldest brother is back, so I rushed back immediately." ”
"I thought you were playing somewhere again." Fang Jinyuan smiled and patted his arm, and said, "Tomorrow is the day when your sister canonizes the crown princess, and you can't run around tonight." ”
"yes, I see." Fang Zihuai nodded, and then sat down on the stool next to him.
Su Zixu glanced at Fang Zihuai, threw a bag of snacks bought on the street to him, and said, "You really brought that girl back?" ”
Fang Zihuai opened the dim sum and found that it was walnut cake, a smile immediately appeared on his face, he took a bite of it, and said vaguely: "Well, in a foreign country, I can't leave her alone on the street." ”
Su Zixu snorted disdainfully and said, "You pity her now, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future." ”
"Why?" Fang Zihuai frowned and said, "She is a weak woman who is powerless and kind-hearted, will she do anything bad in the future?" ”
Su Zixu shook his head helplessly, didn't speak, Fang Jinyuan next to him looked at him, then looked at Fang Zihuai and said, "Zihuai, who is that woman?" ”
Fang Zihuai briefly explained what he and Su Zixu rescued Qingqing that day, and talked about what happened when he and Qingqing went out to find relatives in the past few days, and always said intentionally or unintentionally that Qingqing was just a kind and pitiful weak woman.
After Fang Jinyuan listened, he turned his head to look at Su Zixu, "Does Zixu think there is something wrong with the girl named Qingqing?" ”
Su Zixu nodded, and said with a serious face: "I felt that something was wrong when we met that day, and then I smelled a fragrance on her, and I was sure that her identity was not ordinary." The fragrance is very special, and it is the smell of a flower in the border area north of the southern country. That kind of flower can only grow in the border area, has the effect of calming the nerves, people there will use it to bath, or make sachets, in short, it is very precious, generally only a few people in the royal family and nobles have it. ”
The people present frowned when they heard this, everyone knew Su Zixu's ability, so there was no doubt about his words.
"But this can only show that Qingqing may be a royal noble, but it doesn't mean that she is a bad person." Fang Zihuai defended that after two days of getting along, he didn't think Qingqing was a bad person.
"Zihuai, what you think is too simple." Fang Jinyi frowned and said, "Tomorrow is the day to canonize the crown princess, and her appearance at this time must have a purpose." ”
Fang Zihuai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Then maybe she is here to celebrate the crown prince and concubine on behalf of her country." ”
Su Zixu looked at Fang Zihuai with a disgusted expression, Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu frowned, only Fang Jinyi sighed helplessly, and said, "Zihuai, if it is really as you guessed, then why didn't she reveal her identity?" Since you came to celebrate, and now you are in the general's mansion, why did you lie to go out to look for your relatives? ”
Fang Zihuai's face gradually became ugly, and he wanted to find some more excuses to defend Qingqing, but he couldn't think of anything.
"Zihuai, there is something you don't know." Fang Jinyuan suddenly said, "The relationship between Nanguo and Biansai has always been bad, although there is no war, but it is only a matter of time. ”
Fang Zihuai looked at Fang Jinyuan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then why did she approach me?" ”
"You delivered it yourself." Su Zixu said helplessly, "At that time, I asked you to leave her there alone, but instead of listening, you brought her back, you are really ......"
"Shut up!" Su Muqiu suddenly scolded, looking at him with a cold look in his eyes.
Su Zixu pursed his lips, turned around and looked away, hum, now even he is not as good as his brother-in-law.
"She approached you at this time, presumably for only one purpose." Fang Jinyuan glanced at Su Muqiu, Su Muqiu nodded, and continued his words: "Assassinate the crown princess." ”
Fang Zihuai looked at them with a shocked expression, "Assassination...... Sister? ”
Fang Jinyi glanced at Su Muqiu, then looked at Fang Jinyi and said, "Big brother, things may not be what we guessed, not to mention that there hasn't been an accident yet?" Why don't I go meet the girl first? ”
Fang Jinyuan's face was a little solemn, he was silent for a moment, and nodded: "It's okay, if it's not what we think, if we misunderstand others, the result will be even worse." ”
"Let Zixu accompany you." Su Muqiu opened his mouth to speak, and seeing Fang Jinyi's puzzled face, he said with a smile: "He is clever, and if there is any accident, he can help you block the knife." ”
As soon as Su Zixu heard this, he was immediately unhappy, stood up and shouted at him: "Big brother, your daughter-in-law is your daughter-in-law, and your brother is not your brother?" ”
Su Muqiu nodded calmly, looked at him and said, "That's right." ”
Looking at this scene, Fang Jinyi couldn't help but smile, and even Fang Jinyi, who was originally ugly, had a smile on his face.
"Okay, big brother, I can see through you." Su Zixu said angrily, "If something really happens to me, I'll tell you, you can't cry." After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Jinyi and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go." ”
Seeing Su Zixu walking in front of her with an arrogant face, Fang Jinyi finally couldn't help laughing, and then got up and followed, Ziyi also followed behind her, and Shengsheng stayed to serve.
Fang Zihuai hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, brother-in-law, I want to go and see." ”
Fang Jinyuan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go ahead, don't take those words to heart, maybe the eldest brother guessed wrong." ”
Fang Zihuai nodded, and then chased after him, no matter who Qingqing was, he had to confirm it in person.
"You've guessed it, right?" Su Muqiu looked at Fang Jinyuan and said, "That woman's true identity." ”
Fang Jinyuan smiled and said, "Listening to your words, it seems that you also know about Nanguo and Biansai?" ”
Su Muqiu smiled lightly, picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Fang Jin's wine glass, "Although Dusk Rain Villa is an ordinary business, the people who come and go in business are all people from the rivers and lakes, so naturally they know a little bit about everything. ”
"Know a little bit about it?" Fang Jinyuan smiled and shook the wine glass gently, "I'm afraid you know a lot more than I know." ”
Su Muqiu smiled, didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and then the two of them raised their heads at the same time and drank it all.
"Eldest son, uncle, it's not good, something happened."
A subordinate suddenly ran over, his face full of panic, and ran to Fang Jinyuan and said, "There is an assassin who assassinated the third miss." ”
"How's that going?" Fang Jinyuan asked as he walked out of the courtyard, and Su Muqiu also followed beside him.
"The third young lady is fine, but the assassin ran away, and there is ......" The subordinate said this, and looked at Su Muqiu cautiously.
When Su Muqiu saw him looking at himself, a bad feeling immediately rose in his heart, and he said sharply: "Go on." ”
The subordinate shrank his neck in fear and whispered, "Second Miss is injured." ”
"What?!"
When Su Muqiu and Fang Jinyuan heard this, they immediately rushed out of the courtyard, and Sheng Sheng and his subordinates hurriedly followed.
When she arrived at the courtyard where Fang Caiwu lived, Su Muqiu saw Fang Zihuai standing on the side with his head down, Fang Caiwu crying and sitting on the chair, and Liu Qingqing chattering beside him, but he didn't see Fang Jinyi.
"Where's Hibiscus?"
When Fang Zihuai looked up and saw that it was Su Muqiu, he hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, the second sister is injured, and Zixu is treating her." ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Zixu walked out of the room, and Fang Jinyi was supported by Ziyi and walked behind.
Su Muqiu quickly walked in front of Fang Jinyi, looked at her, turned her head and said, "How is it?" ”
Su Zixu's face was a little ugly, and his voice was much lower than usual, "There was a sword on his back, the wound is not deep, and it is not poisonous, but it will take half a month to heal." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Su Zixu looked up at the two people standing and sitting opposite, and said with a displeased face: "You ask their two sisters and brothers." ”
