Chapter 6: Assassination and Blame
Xie Feiqing walked out of the happy room with a stomach full of rice porridge and anger, and went straight to the housekeeper.
The old butler was surprised: "Your Highness, why did you come out of the wedding room?" ”
But before Xie Feiqing could answer, he said, "It just so happens that I have something to look for you as well," he said as he handed over the thing in his hand, which was an arrow, "This is the dark arrow that made you fall unconscious from your horse this time, looking at the shape of the Tatar side, I don't know if you have any clues?" ”
Xie Feiqing looked carefully at the arrow, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Hmph, on the surface, it was done by the Tatars, but in fact, someone is to blame!" ”
The old housekeeper was shocked: "What does the prince mean by this?" ”
Xie Feiqing said: "I happened to be fighting with the Tatars when I was hit by the arrow, although the scene was chaotic, but I felt very clearly, this dark arrow was shot from behind!" ”
The old butler's brows furrowed tightly, but he still asked: "The prince is strict in governing the army, and the soldiers will never treason and collaborate with the enemy to assassinate you, could this be the work of the Tartary spies?" ”
Xie Feiqing sneered: "It is precisely because of my strict management of the army that it is impossible for Tatar spies to get close to me at a distance, if they have this ability, they will not be beaten by me all these years." So this person must be Daqi's own person, and he has a certain status in the army, maybe he is still a high-level general! ”
The old housekeeper's angry eyebrows were raised: "Who dares to do this?" Good dog guts! Isn't he afraid of the revenge of the 300,000 pro-troops of the Chu Palace? ”
Xie Feiqing laughed: "Except for the one in the East Palace, who else has this courage and means?" ”
The old butler's expression suddenly became solemn: "Your Highness, are you sure it's him?" ”
Although he smiled, his eyes were a little frosty: "I don't have definite evidence for the time being, it just so happens that I'm awake now, and I have to go to the palace to see me, don't you know if you test it?" ”
The old butler clenched the arrow in his hand: "Your Highness, no matter who it is, as long as you give an order, the 100,000 princes of Chu will never spare him!" ”
Xie Feiqing's eyes were slightly warm, and he smiled: "I know, thank you Uncle Zhao." ”
After the two of them finished talking about business, the old housekeeper remembered and asked, "Lord Wang, what did you come to your subordinates for just now?" ”
Xie Feiqing suddenly felt the rice porridge in his stomach churning again, and said angrily: "I don't care what method you use, hurry up and get that Su Yunruo away for me!" If she stays in the palace for a moment longer, I'll be again! ”
The old butler hurriedly shook his head: "By all means, Your Highness, your subordinates can agree to anything, but this matter is not good!" You haven't fully recovered yet, can't you send Miss Su Er, the lucky star, away, or let her stay with you for two more days, maybe you can get better faster! ”
Xie Feiqing raised his forehead: "I'll tell you the truth, the reason why I just woke up tonight is because Su Yunruo said that she knew medical skills, so she cured me, and it has nothing to do with Chong Xi or anything!" So you hurriedly paid the consultation fee for the woman surnamed Su and sent her away, no problem! ”
The old housekeeper looked at his master with an indescribable gaze: "Your Highness, who often doesn't know that this Miss Su Er is an embroidered pillow that is useless except for her skin, not so much that she knows medical skills, it is better to be more credible than Chongxi's success, right?" ”
Xie Feiqing: "......"
He was choked and speechless, and to be honest, he was also skeptical of the woman's words.
The old housekeeper said bitterly: "Anyway, in just these few days, why not be patient with the prince a little longer?" Besides, leaving Miss Su Er may not be completely useless, for example, tomorrow you enter the palace to check the clues, if you have a newlywed princess by your side, is it easier to hide people's eyes? ”
Xie Feiqing touched his chin and pondered: "There is some truth in what you said, so ...... Then let the woman stay for a few more days, and then kick her out when I'm done using it!" ”
The old butler nodded and smiled with satisfaction, hiding his merit and fame.
The next day, Su Yunruo was eating breakfast, the xiaolongbao with fresh meat filling with spring bamboo shoots and millet porridge was very happy, Xie Feiqing came to her and said lightly: "You hurry up and clean up and follow me into the palace." ”
Su Yunruo was stunned: "Enter the palace?" Why enter the palace? ”
Xie Feiqing said: "I woke up yesterday, and today the emperor and the queen mother have already received the news. Just now, someone came from the palace and announced that I would enter the palace to meet me. ”
Su Yunruo stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth again: "Then you can go, why do you have to take me?" I still want to go out and go shopping! ”
Xie Feiqing's forehead throbbed again, grinding his teeth and said: "This king entered the palace to meet him on the second day of his wedding, but he was alone without the princess, are you afraid that others will not know that our marriage is boring?" ”
Su Yunruo shrugged: "But our marriage was originally a show!" As soon as I'm gone in a few days, everyone will know, what's the point of you hiding it now? ”
"This king has his own truth!" Xie Feiqing was impatient and perfunctory, and directly resorted to a killer move: "Don't forget our agreement yesterday, this is also the princess's obligation!" If your non-cooperation has caused me unnecessary trouble, I, as the owner, have the right to deduct money from your remuneration! ”
Su Yunruo immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Lord Wang, let's go!" ”
Xie Feiqing: "......"
Xie Feiqing ordered people to put out a full set of princely honor guards, and entered the palace with great fanfare, and everyone knew that Su Yunruo, the second lady of the Su family, was happy for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu woke up on the night of the candle night in the cave room, this kind of romantic gossip with a little magical color is the most curious, and it almost spread throughout the entire capital like a gust of wind.
Entering the palace, Su Yunruo followed behind Xie Feiqing and raised his eyes to look at the palace, secretly comparing it with the Forbidden City in his previous life:
Well, the general scale and style are about the same, but the atmosphere is really different! Without those bustling tourists who watch and take pictures, the solemn and majestic and noble atmosphere will come out at once, and the ancient royal bearing is really extraordinary!
Where Su Yunruo didn't pay attention, Xie Feiqing was also quietly looking at her from the corner of his eye, only to see that there was curiosity, appreciation, and amazement in her eyes, but there was no obsession and greed as he expected.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly: Isn't this woman greedy and excessive? Why is it that when you see the splendid palace, your eyes are clear, and you don't have any desire? No, not only does she not have desire, this woman is even down-and-out and generous, strolling leisurely as if she is walking in her own back garden, without the slightest shock and nervousness, even if she is the top noblewoman, I am afraid that she does not have this calmness when she enters the palace for the first time!
With such courage, is she really just a concubine of an ordinary petty official? Hmph, this woman is afraid that like him, she also hides a lot of secrets.
