Concubine Ning said with a cold face: "If it is really Yu Qi who was stabbed by Miss Xia San, is Xia Xiang letting this palace dispose of her?" ”

Xia Yanxiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, at this time, the Zhao family came with Xia Mengyao, who was lost and depressed, and said hurriedly: "Mengyao, Concubine Ning is here, what happened at that time, why don't you hurry up and explain to Concubine Ning?" ”

Xia Mengyao stood on the spot, Mu Ne was stunned, as if her soul was gone.

Concubine Ning was even more displeased when she saw her like this, and said angrily: "Miss Xia San, this palace asks you, why did you stab Yu Qi?" He's your fiancé! ”

Xia Mengyao trembled slightly, her face was pale, and if something happened in two days, she seemed to have become a frightened bird, and she couldn't speak.

Looking at her like this, Xia Jinse also felt a kind of indescribable weirdness.

In the past, Xia Mengyao was rampant and wanton, relying on the favor of Xia Yanxiu and the Zhao family to be lawless. But since she was frightened by the wolf pet Yinyue of Prince Aesop, her temperament has changed, especially after the last time, she was almost bitten by a wolf during a trip to the suburbs of Beijing, and she has changed her appearance.

Concubine Ning saw that Xia Mengyao was dumb, and became impatient: "Miss Xia San, is this a default that she hurts others?" In this case, this palace will enter the palace to report to the emperor, cancel your marriage with Yu Qi, stabbing the prince is a big crime, you just wait to go to prison! ”

"Concubine Ning, don't!"

Xia Yanxiu hurriedly stopped: "Meng Yao is just impulsive, she is not usually like this!" Meng Yao, you hurry up and explain to Concubine Ning, what's going on? Did someone threaten you, or did something happen? ”

Xia Mengyao stood on the spot, her silver teeth clenched, her whole body was tense, and she couldn't hold back a word.

Zhao hurriedly went to pat her and shouted: "Meng Yao, you say! If you don't say it, something really is going to happen! ”

"Ahh I don't want to marry him, and I die...... Damn it......"

Her excited face distorted, as if she remembered something terrible, as if she were mad. Zhao hugged her and covered her mouth in shock: "Shut up, Meng Yao, don't talk nonsense, shut up!" ”

Concubine Ning had already heard it, and her face turned pale with anger: "Good, good!" This is the daughter of your prime minister's house? It's just too presumptuous, dare to murder the prince, the crime is added to the first degree! This palace will enter the palace, you wait! ”

Xia Yanxiu slapped Xia Mengyao violently, and went to stop Concubine Ning.

But Concubine Ning ignored him at all, swept her eyes coldly, Xia Yanxiu had just asked for mercy, and Concubine Ning had already left angrily with a large number of people. Leaving Xia Yanxiu standing on the spot, extremely embarrassed.

Hearing that Xia Mengyao was still screaming, the angry Xia Yanxiu couldn't hold back any longer, and turned around and slapped her a few times.

"Brute! Brute! Dare to hurt the six princes, do you want to kill the whole family? Xia Yanxiu still wanted to fight, but the anxious Zhao family hurriedly came to block it, protecting her daughter: "Master, don't fight, Meng Yao must have a hard time, do you want to kill her?" ”

The housekeeper of the Six Princes' Mansion came out and asked them not to quarrel with the Six Princes to recuperate from their injuries, Xia Yanxiu also felt ashamed, glared at Xia Mengyao fiercely, and asked the Zhao family to take her back.

Looking at this farce, the three of them disappeared in front of them, and Xia Jinse didn't say a word. Lan Muxuan stood beside her and couldn't help but whisper: "Imperial sister-in-law, what do you think?" Isn't it strange why the third lady stabbed the sixth brother? ”

"There should be some reason, but Xia Mengyao didn't say it, only the six princes knew." She said lightly.

Lan Yuqi's injuries were examined by Xia Jinse, and although they did not hurt the vital point, they were deeply stabbed. If it was a normal situation, Xia Mengyao would definitely not be able to hit Lan Yuqi hard, after all, he had martial arts, even if it was not the best, it was not something that a weak woman like Xia Mengyao could hurt.

Something must have happened at the time, but there's no way to know!

"Do you know how the Six Princes were injured? Only Meng Yao was alone at that time? Xia Jinse asked.

"I also listened to the butler."

Lan Muxuan said: "It is said that only Miss Xia San was present at that time, she was the fiancée of the sixth brother, and she was originally here to take care of him. Suddenly, a girl heard the sound of an argument inside, and when she went in to look, she saw Miss Xia San holding a dagger and sticking it straight into the sixth brother. ”

After listening to what he said, Xia Jinse pondered: "In this way, only Meng Yao and the Six Princes were there at that time, and the Six Princes were already injured, why did he argue with Meng Yao?" What to argue about? And where did the dagger come from? ”

"It's a pity that the sixth brother is in a coma, and Miss Xia San doesn't say it, so no one knows about it for the time being." Lan Muxuan sighed.

"If nothing else, the Sixth Prince should wake up tonight, don't worry." Xia Jinse said.

……

Sure enough, the sixth prince, Lan Yuqi, woke up that night and his injuries turned from critical to safe.

It's just that after Concubine Ning entered the palace, there was no news coming, but the Six Princes' Mansion sent someone into the palace and went to Jiaren Palace, where Concubine Ning was located. I don't know what I said, Concubine Ning didn't go to Emperor Yuanqing again, and the cancellation of the marriage that Xia Yanxiu had been worried about didn't happen.

But in the early dynasty, Emperor Yuanqing reprimanded Xia Yanxiu, saying that he had been negligent in government affairs recently, and even wrote typos on the fold, and scolded him in public. Xia Yanxiu knew that Emperor Yuanqing was taking the opportunity to beat, and he said that he would pay attention in the future, so Emperor Yuanqing didn't say anything more.

However, what Xia Yanxiu recommended to Emperor Yuanqing before about the selection of the political envoy of Shudu has a result.

Emperor Yuanqing did not choose the person he recommended, but chose the person recommended by the Duke of Nanguo and the rest of the ministers, and finally served as the political envoy of Shudu. Xia Yanxiu's mind was disappointed, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only give up.

The candidate for this political envoy is an official he knows well, and he usually has a secret friendship with him, and he also pays a lot of filial piety. I thought that this recommendation would be nine out of ten, but when I knew that Xia Mengyao was going to happen, Xia Yanxiu could only admit that he was unlucky.

On the second day when Lan Yuqi woke up, Xia Yanxiu personally took Xia Mengyao to make amends.

Lying on the bed, Lan Yuqi's naked body was wrapped with strips of cloth, and there were blood stains soaked out of the strips. Xia Yanxiu was worried and worried, first apologized to Lan Yuqi, his words were sincere, and then asked Xia Mengyao to apologize and admit his mistakes.

"Xia Xiang, don't be polite, yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding...... I—I want to talk to Meng Yao alone. Lan Yuqi looked at Xia Mengyao, who bowed her head and was silent, but her face was pale, but she laughed: "Xia Xiang can go out for a while, Mengyao will not hurt me again." ”

Lan Yuqi's attitude filled Xia Yanxiu with hope, he gave Xia Mengyao a look, warned her to speak well, and then said: "Okay, the true appearance is guarding outside, if there is anything to do with the six princes, just shout." ”

When there were only two people in the room, Lan Yuqi looked at Xia Mengyao, and his expression became cold.

"Come here." He spoke coldly.

Xia Mengyao, who had not moved, trembled, hurried over and knelt in front of his bed.

Lan Yuqi stretched out a hand, pinched Xia Mengyao's chin, and hooked the corners of his lips: "I really didn't expect that a docile lamb would be able to bite a lion one day." Meng Yao, you really make this prince look at him differently. ”

Xia Mengyao trembled, and just wanted to bow her head, but was forcibly hooked by Lan Yuqi again, facing him directly.

"Look at this prince!" He coldly ordered.

Xia Mengyao slowly raised her head and looked at Lan Yuqi's indifferent face, her face full of panic and nervousness.

"It seems that you are very afraid of this prince? But that's good, that's good! This prince just likes the way you look, and I'm afraid, I won't say some things, otherwise you'll be even more unlucky, understand? As he spoke, his hand moved until he touched Xia Mengyao's face, and then pinched it, slowly exerting force.

"You are really bold, you dare to stab this prince, and you haven't thought about the consequences?" His hands became tighter and tighter, gradually increasing the force, Xia Mengyao's face was deformed by his pinching, and it was red, and she couldn't hold back the pain, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Do you dare in the future?" He asked.

"......" Xia Mengyao's tears of pain flowed out, but she still clenched her teeth and only shook her head.

Lan Yuqi smiled, as soon as he trembled, his brows furrowed in pain, and his hand suddenly exerted, and finally Xia Mengyao, who was in pain, exhaled, and she was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth.

"Obediently, don't make trouble in the future, you know? Otherwise, your whole family will go to prison, if it weren't for the fact that this prince likes you, do you really think that you can escape the marriage by stabbing this prince? Meng Yao, you're dead, stay by the prince's side obediently, understand? ”

Xia Mengyao's frightened tears flowed down her cheeks, and she nodded desperately.

"There are some things you don't need to understand, if you understand, it's not good, as long as you are obedient, you will have your glory and wealth in the future." Tenderness appeared in Lan Yuqi's eyes again, and the clenched hand finally let go, gently stroking her pinched purple face.

After a while, Lan Yuqi called Xia Yanxiu in and said that it was okay.

Xia Mengyao nodded, wiped away her tears, and finally spoke: "Father......"

Xia Yanxiu was very happy, but her daughter spoke, and the sixth prince also said that it was okay: "That's good, it's all a misunderstanding, and it's okay if you say it." Sixth Prince, will you take Meng Yao back, or will you leave her here to serve you? ”

"Meng Yao stay, if Xia Xiang has something, he might as well go back." Lan Yuqi said with a smile.

"Okay, then Meng Yao will take good care of the six princes, do you hear?" Xia Yanxiu finally went to a heart and went back satisfied.

didn't hear Concubine Ning's trouble, and the Six Princes' Mansion was also quiet, Xia Jinse knew that this matter had been revealed.

Since it was fine, she didn't think much about it, but the good news of Ji Xiao and Ji Wushuang had not come, Xia Jinse guessed if there was an accident again, and sent someone to Ji Mansion to inquire.

Chasing Yun came back after a while, and said: "Princess, the slave maid went to ask the cousin young master, and he said that the mother invited the matchmaker to go to the Ji Mansion to propose marriage, but she was kicked out. He refused to say more, only asked the slave and maid to come back to thank the princess, and asked the princess to leave this matter alone. ”

Xia Jinse was surprised, how could this be?

Since Ji Wushuang agreed, he will definitely not regret it, could it be that Ji Hongbo and his wife are unwilling? No wonder I haven't heard good news from them for so long, and it didn't work out at all.

"Princess, do you want to ask the Wushuang County Lord again, what's going on?" Chasing Yun also knows about this, could it be that the Marquis of Xiaoyao Mansion admits this loss, and would rather the reputation of the county lord be damaged?

Xia Jinse thought for a while and said, "In this way, you go to the Lin Mansion to post and ask Miss Lin to come over, and I will go with her to ask Wushuang what is going on." ”

It was only two hours, and Lin Qianyi hurried over with the girl.

"Jinse, is there something wrong?" Lin Qianyi was obviously very concerned, otherwise he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come over, "I've been looking for Wushuang for the past few days, but she can't see her, either because she's sick or that something is wrong, I really don't know what's wrong with her." ”

"Since you want to know, we'll ask later." Xia Jinse smiled, "Don't worry, let's ask." ”

When he arrived at the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, Xia Jinse knew that it was no wonder why Lin Qianyi couldn't see Ji Wushuang.

Ji Wushuang didn't know that anyone was looking for her, and she had been locked up at home for the past two days, ordering her not to go out or see anyone. After a few days of not seeing, she recovered a little, and her face was flushed, but there was still a layer of sadness between her eyebrows.

Xia Jinse asked her directly: "By the way, didn't you say yes before?" Why did people come to the door to propose marriage, but they drove him out? ”
