The common people didn't understand what Jianghu martial arts were, and they didn't understand how much impact the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion could have on their lives. But they knew that the uniformly dressed people that used to be seen all over the streets were no longer visible.

And the once overcrowded port of Shanghai has suddenly become deserted.

During this time, Princess Changling was selling her industry, and Tianquan Villa was also selling her industry. Wealthy merchants throughout Gangnam Province flocked from all directions like sharks smelling blood.

"Shizi, Brother Lu, this is the situation of Princess Changling's property sales these days!" Duan Fei stood up straight, and handed a stack of account books to Shen Ling with both hands.

Shen Ling directly transferred the ledger to Lu Sheng's hands, "Look, what's suspicious?"

Lu Sheng took the account book and looked through it, "Almost all the mansions and other courtyards have been sold." However, the shops and sea vessels were not sold, but were transferred to the name of the Lord of Lingzhu.

Even if the Lord of Lingzhu is her righteous daughter, Princess Changling shouldn't be so generous, right?"

"Now the Lord of Lingzhu is not just her righteous daughter. Shen Ling picked his teeth without any image, and his upturned legs shook rhythmically.

"The Lord of the Spirit Bead is now her talisman. Among the five princes, the call for the appointment of the third prince as the prince is the highest. Above the court, half of the people who support the three princes are not comparable to the other four princes.

Princess Changling was desperate to put the treasure on the three princes. As long as the three princes can ascend to the throne, the lord of Lingzhu is the lord of the harem. Do you say that Princess Changling is a charcoal in the snow, or is it the icing on the cake?

Besides, it is no longer appropriate to help the third prince ascend to the throne, and Princess Changling will come forward in person. But it is much more convenient to hand it over to the Lord of Lingzhu, as a wife, it is reasonable to help her husband. ”

"But...... Don't you think it's all going too well? It's like ...... It's like a dream. You know that when I looked at these ledgers, the character of Princess Changling actually became brilliant and majestic in my mind. ”

"Life in the world is nothing more than the word trade-off. In my opinion, these trade-offs of Princess Changling are reasonable. If it were me, I would do the same. ”

"But you're not her after all!" Lu Sheng tapped lightly on the table, "If Princess Changling is so knowledgeable about current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat, why did she come to this point?

"The day after tomorrow! Princess Changling will set off the day after tomorrow, and when they leave, I will arrange for Huo Tian to set off as well. Lu Sheng, you are my brother, really, I don't want you to come this far. Promise me, no matter what, don't be an enemy of the court. ”

"I don't want to be an enemy of the imperial court, this official, I am very satisfied. Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said faintly.

"It's not that you don't want to, it's that you can't! Don't say that you are now in the innate realm, even if you reach the Dao realm, you can't! There are some things that you must not do if you know that you can't do it. Those who are not afraid of death are heroes, and those who seek death are fools. ”

"I understand!"

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

In Princess Changling's courtyard, it seemed deserted at the moment.

I'm going to the capital soon, maybe I won't go back to this place in this life. Princess Changling dismissed her subordinates early. Those who can stay at this moment are all the henchmen of Princess Changling.

Although the lights are still bright, they still can't dispel the pervasive chill.

This is the annex of Princess Changling, located in the east of the city of Hushang Province. It is far from the downtown area, but it is only one street away from Southeast Street.

Late at night, Ning Guohou still didn't feel sleepy. He didn't know what was waiting for him when he returned to Beijing this time.

Xie Tianci doesn't like the capital, not at all. The capital was his nightmare, and it has been for twenty-five years.

That year, he entered Beijing with his family, but a year later, he was left alone in the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion to return to Shanghai alive.

Except for the eldest brother, whose fate is unknown, the adult males of the entire Ningguo Marquis Mansion were beheaded, the children were assigned to join the army, and the female dependents were slaves and maids.

He hated, but he didn't dare to hate! Even in the past 25 years, he didn't even dare to try to find those children of the Xie family who had been assigned, to find their lost relatives.

However, he is going back to Beijing again.

Reading a book can calm Xie Tianci's mood, but today, his heart can't calm down. Irritably, he put down the book, slowly stood up and came to the window.

The moon outside was so bright, but the night was so dark.

"Squeak-" The door was gently pushed open, and Xie Tianci turned around vigilantly.

Princess Changling approached the room faintly, dressed in a moon-white palace dress, fitting her wonderful curves. Every step is like a mist in the moonlight, which makes people can't help but think of tearing through the mist to see the truth.

It's been twenty-five years, and it's been twenty-five years since I married Princess Changling. But the years seem to have forgotten Princess Changling and forgotten to carve the traces of time on her face.

Princess Changling's smile is still as charming as the group in the peach blossom forest back then. But this pink peach blossom is poisonous, with a poison that can penetrate people's intestines and rot in an instant.

Married for more than 20 years, I am more afraid of Princess Changling than I respect!

"Husband, haven't you rested so late?" Princess Changling's voice was still a little hoarse, but there was a tenderness in the hoarseness that she had never felt before.

This made Xie Tianci a little difficult to adapt, so Xie Tianci looked at Princess Changling with straight eyes, as if he had been captured.

"Husband, why are you looking at people like this?

"Madam, it's been a long time since you called me husband in private......"

"But, after all, you are my husband. I left all my property to Zhu'er, won't you blame me?"

"Where...... Xie Tianci smiled lightly, "Zhu'er is our daughter after all, who else can we give it to if we don't give it to her?, and she is about to become the princess of the third prince, and we will have to rely on her for the rest of our lives." ”

"If the husband can think like this, the concubine will be relieved. Come on, bring it in!"

The door was slowly pushed open, and a maid slowly came to the room with a pottery urn, put the pottery urn on the table, and said goodbye and left.

"What is this?" Xie Tianci asked suspiciously.

"The concubine saw that you have been restless recently, so she specially made soup for you. As she spoke, Princess Changling opened the pottery urn, and the rich fragrance instantly filled the entire room.

Princess Changling took out two bowls and gently pushed them in front of Xie Tianci.

Xie Tianci looked at Princess Changling in a daze, but a trace of inexplicable vigilance flashed in his heart. Princess Changling's extremely unnatural gentleness tonight made Xie Tianci at a loss.

Princess Changling gently picked up the bowl, tasted a few sips, and suddenly stopped and looked at Xie Tianci curiously, "Husband, why don't you drink it?"

"Oh, it's just that it's been a long time since I've drunk the soup made by Madame's own hands, and I'm a little surprised. Xie Tianci saw that Princess Changling also drank it, and then put down his heart and tasted it carefully.

"Husband, how does it taste?"

"It's delicious! Madame's craftsmanship is no worse than that of the imperial chef we have hired." ”

"If it's good, you can drink a little more, it's a great tonic. ”

Xie Tianci drank a bowl of soup beautifully, and spit out a breath of hot air with satisfaction, "Madam, what kind of soup is this?

"That's the heart and liver of the son of Buddhism, how can ordinary people taste it?" Princess Changling said charmingly.

"Son of Buddhism?

"It's the heart and liver of a Buddhist monk!" Princess Changling's words suddenly made Xie Tianci's face turn pale.

"Who...... Whose heart ...... liver" Xie Tianci's voice trembled inadvertently, and it was not only the voice that trembled, but his body was trembling violently.

"Husband forgot so quickly, the little monk who is going to send the concubine to hell. Hmph, you want to drag me into hell. So I boiled his heart and liver into soup and drank it...... By the way, I almost forgot, this little monk is still the evil seed of the husband and that slut......"

"Bang-"

The porcelain bowl in Xie Tianci's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

His eyes were red, and Xie Tianci stretched out his fingers tremblingly, "You...... You killed Miaoyuan?"

"Not only did I kill him, but I dug out his heart alive, you know, his heart was still beating when it was dug out. Is it good to drink your own flesh and blood?"

"You're not human...... You are not human......" Xie Tianci's forehead was bruised, and the painful eyes were gradually replaced by anger and hatred. The anger that had been suppressed for twenty years completely exploded at this moment.

"Changling, you are the devil, you are the devil...... I'll kill you—"

"Boom—"

The rainstorm was majestic overnight, but in the Dongfeng Building, only a few thunderous sounds were heard.

In the early morning, when I opened the window, I was greeted by a strong smell of earth.

"Tomorrow is the day when Gong Changling takes the initiative, just in case, let's split up tonight!" Shen Ling walked while getting dressed.

"If you are the daughter of Bai Ye, what kind of way will you take revenge? Originally, she planned to provoke the fight between Princess Changling and Huo Tian, but it didn't work, and then she planned to implicate Princess Changling by the crime of thanking God, but now she was resolved by Princess Changling. I think about it, there is no other way but assassination. ”

"Actually, you and I both know that the daughter of Bai Ye is unlikely to appear. Such an obvious trap, she can't see it?" Shen Ling stared at Lu Sheng solemnly, "Whether it's the princess or Huo Tian, she won't come." ”

"Why?"

"Because she is in the prison of the Criminal Department at the moment!" Shen Ling said with a soft sigh, "She should be in the prison of the Criminal Department." From now on, there will never be this person again. ”

"No, she'll come!" Lu Sheng's hand touched his waist again.

"Huh-" Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open, and Yun Niang rushed into the room with a panicked expression, "Shizi, Lord Lu, something is wrong, something is wrong." ”

As a veteran spy, it is the most basic quality that Tarzan collapses without changing his color. However, what can make Yun Niang panic to such an extent is absolutely earth-shattering.

"This morning, the housekeeper of Ning Guohou's Mansion went to the mansion to report the case, last night Princess Changling and Ning Guohou fought for some reason, and this morning, they found that the two of them died together in the room. ”

"What!"
