110 The First Princess
But Huanxi hasn't gone out of the yard yet. The door was blocked.
"Tsk. It's really ruthless."
They were all amazed to see the man." Why are you here?"
"I've been waiting for you here."
The fire grew bigger. Illuminates the face of the comer. None other than Rich.
Rejoicing was shocked. Don't wait to say anything. Li Qi snorted coldly. Rejoice that you are not only counterfeit peaches. Also killed witnesses. I've got you caught today. See what you have to say."
"I don't know what you said."
Joy noticed that Li Qi was the only one there. I couldn't help but settle down. Expressionless, he said, "I'm just here. Who knows, there was a fire."
She suddenly raised her voice. Pointing at Li Qi and shouting, "Someone. It's on fire. Richie set it on fire."
Fortunately, the fire is big. But there is only one room in South Garden. There are no trees around. There is no wind at night. It won't burn anywhere else.
Richie didn't expect the joy to come out suddenly. His face was ugly and he was reprimanded." By this time you are still talking nonsense with your eyes open. You clearly set this fire."
"I put it. Who saw it." The joy thief shouted to arrest the human: "The one in Nanyuan is my biological mother. Why should I set it on fire. It's clear that you have a grudge against our Prince Gong's Mansion. Deliberately set fire to someone here. His sin is punishable. When the time comes, it will also affect the Li nobles in the palace."
Li Qiqing's staggered little face twitched fiercely. You're treacherous."
His voice changed suddenly. He smiled grimly." I know you're not easy to deal with. With another hand ready."
Another gurgle. Rejoicing to see Richie clap his hands." Uncle. You haven't come out to see the good things this witch has done."
Hearts beat wildly for joy. On the other side of the courtyard wall. Shangguan Le stood there with the little servant at home. There are also a few men I don't know.
"Uncle, you saw it with your own eyes. Huanxi killed my aunt." Li Qi stepped forward to restrain his joy." Deliver her to the government tonight. She's guilty of bullying."
Both impersonate someone else. And killed people.
Rejoice and die.
Shangguan Le looked suspicious. Just staring at the joy for a moment. There was a hint of horror in the firelight. But he was quickly captured by joy.
Joy flashed two steps quickly. Distance yourself from Richie. Showing a sad expression, he said to Shangguan Le: "Father. Don't listen to Richie's nonsense. My daughter didn't do anything at all. I don't know how the fire started."
She started sobbing. Clear your suspicion with innocent tears." Father, you know the grievances between the Li Mansion and us. They're always trying to frame us. Now it's finally a loophole."
Li Qi didn't expect that at this time, Huanxi was still here with his eyes open and talking nonsense." Fart. Not to mention that you killed your aunt. You're not a peach at all."
This is conclusive.
"You're blind. I'm not the peach of Shangguan, and who am I?" I tremble with joy." It's you who is talking nonsense. You can't see me marrying the second prince. Wronging me right now."
"You ......" Richie took a breath. It's been the same for a long time." You're not a peach. Aunt knows who you are. So you killed her."
"Father. Rich is ill-intentioned. If I am not a peach. Then the whole palace is a crime of deception. He's trying to bring down our Prince Gong's Mansion."
Shangguan Le heard Huanxi say this. His complexion changed slightly. Eyes turn to Richie. Staring fiercely.
He's not a fool. Naturally, we know what's at stake. I was shocked by the joyful behavior just now.
"Don't I even know my own daughter?"
Li Qi saw Shangguan happy to die and did not admit it. I almost laughed angrily." Ha. Gong Wangye."
Now the skin has been torn apart. He simply didn't even say polite words like his uncle.
"You're a raccoon dog. If you are father and daughter; It's the same as telling nonsense with your eyes open."
Richie's words are not without irony.
"It's not your turn to take care of our family affairs. Get the hell out of me."
Shangguan Le issued an eviction order.
"Let me get out. Your precious daughter killed her mother." Richie simply made a mistake." If she is an outsider, it is forgivable to kill people. But she killed her mother with her own hands. His guilt is punishable."
Shangguan Le couldn't find the words to refute.
Joy gritted her teeth. Resolutely refusing to admit it." You framed me."
"Hmph. I'm framing you. Just now except for me and Prince Gong. And so many pairs of eyes watching."
Richie looks like a scoundrel." I'll tell you the truth. The people here can't buy it even if they spend money on Prince Gong. They are all the guards of the nobles in the palace. They won't wronged you."
He raised his hand." Put Huan ...... Oh no. It was Shangguan Zhitao who caught me."
Since the joy of death does not admit it. Then let her be the peach of Shangguan. Now she's killing Lee. You are accused of mothericide.
He was guilty of a capital offense.
Shangguan Le stopped." I'll see which of you dares."
"Don't make it difficult for me, lord. Shangguan Zhitao's murder is an ironclad fact. It wouldn't be good if you were to implicate you when the time came."
Li Qi smirked. stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan Le's arm. He said in his ear: "Lord Wang, you are also an understanding person. I'm here today to make a fuss because someone must be backing me. Or did I personally invite the second prince to bring someone up?"
He said the second prince. Shangguan Le understood it all.
Shangguan Le's figure trembled. Perhaps the second prince was dissatisfied with this marriage from the very beginning. But he's still behind the scenes. Maybe the second prince knew Huanxi's true identity......
Anyway. The second prince would never marry his third daughter.
Whether his daughter is Shangguan Zhitao or Huanxi.
That instant. Shangguan Le only felt that the sky was swirling for a while......
Rejoicing and wanting to ask for help again. But it's too late. I don't know why it's now. What she thought of was indeed Shangguan Erya's words.
She still lost.
This goes. She already knew that she was unlucky.
But she has no regrets.
※※※
The night lasts dark. The hall of Virtue is brightly lit.
The Empress Dowager Jiang looked at the girl who was sinking down the steps in disbelief. I was inexplicably a little more calculating in my heart.
"You've really thought it through."
"Yes."
Shangguan Erya wore a long blue dress." Please let the Queen Mother fulfill her promise."
She is neither humble nor arrogant. The words are full of meanings that cannot be refused.
Empress Dowager Jiang was not happy again. She just can't get used to the calmness of the woman of the Shangguan family.
She didn't go as Shangguan Erya wished. Rubbing the back of the chair." The mourning family heard that the emperor rejected Xi Nian's marriage proposal. You are disheartened."
Shangguan Erya looked up. Indifferently, he said, "It has nothing to do with this matter."
It was as if there was an answer and as if there was no answer.
Empress Dowager Jiang was furious." Good. The mourners can promise you. But whether this can be done or not is not something that the mourning family can do to the Lord. You have to keep in mind though. Even if you can't make it, you won't be able to entangle Xi Nian in the future."
She added. The mourning family will never let you marry Xi Nian."
"The courtiers do what they say."
But Ji Xinian pestered her. She couldn't do anything about it.
Shangguan Erya added in her heart.
It's really not good, she married Ji Xinian. Shangguan Erya felt amused when she thought of this. Just calm as usual on the face.
Empress Dowager Jiang stared at Shangguan Erya's expression tightly. I couldn't find any flaws and could only wave my hand.
"Alright. The mourners will do their best to make it happen."
Shangguan Erya Xie then walked out of the main hall.
Empress Dowager Jiang asked Mama Hu beside her. Why did you say Shangguan Erya did this?"
Mama Hu thought about it. He replied, "The old slave can't guess either. But after all, it has nothing to do with King Jane. It doesn't hurt to promise her."
"The mourners always feel that it is inappropriate. Those women of the Shangguan family are more cunning than the other."
"But the Queen Mother has already promised her......"
Empress Dowager Jiang pouted. The mourning family is also difficult to ride a tiger. Who asked her to help Mei Duo and Ning Shizi rebuild Yu Hao. You've seen how Mei Duo praised her sister Erya in front of the mourning family."
Mama Hu didn't answer. She has been by the side of Empress Dowager Jiang for many years. I have long known what the Queen Mother wants to hear and what she doesn't want to hear.
She wouldn't say a nice word about Shangguan Erya.
But it's a matter of facts. Shangguan Erya, this woman is very different. But it is different from the Shangguan Changsheng prince back then.
They are equally fierce and resolute. Can be the first half of the official to fight horses. In the second half of your life, you can put down everything and live at home without asking about the world. However, Shangguan Erya was ruthless and ruthless. And there is a friendship in the heart. She is a rare good woman in the world.
It's just that Empress Dowager Jiang has never been able to turn this corner. Such a great beating of mandarin ducks. I don't know if King Jian will hate the Queen Mother in the future......
Then I will really regret it.
The sixth day of the sixth month of June. According to the holy decree, it should have been a big day for Prince Gong's Mansion to marry the lord of Bingjie and the second prince.
Correct. Overnight, the news of the murder of the lord of Bingjie County spread.
The emperor in the palace sent a holy decree. The Ice Jie County Lord's move is a big rebellion. Heaven does not tolerate it. Decisive decision.
Even Dali Temple has not been investigated. The emperor has already made a decision.
The big wedding becomes a white thing. No one mentioned the marriage of the second prince again. The gate of Prince Gong's Mansion is closed. Occasionally, passers-by are pointing. Sigh.
When Shangguan Erya heard the news, he knew that Concubine He must be fueling the trouble. She just laughed but didn't say anything. Things were pretty much as I expected.
The only regret for her is that Ji Cangzi didn't marry Huanxi in the end.
But the joy ended up in this ending and it was well deserved. She shouldn't have calculated it on Ji Cangzi's head in the first place.
"King Jane has been here these days." Shangguan Erya asked.
Qingwei saw that Mama Yang and Zihan didn't answer. She had to bite the bullet and say, "I came once that night and then I didn't come."
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, and they didn't know if King Jian was disheartened by the emperor's refusal of the request.
Only Shangguan Erya knows why. Not much to ask. Tell Zihan directly." Go and find out the fine clothes I ordered to make the other day. It came in handy very quickly."
※※※
Another three days passed. In the palace, Shangguan Erya entered the morning pilgrimage to see him.
Shangguan Erya changed into a solemn palace dress. He followed the chamberlain into the court. Prostrate: "Erya see Your Majesty."
The court was full of civil and military officials. Seeing the emperor announcing Shangguan Erya coming, everyone was surprised.
Shangguan Le saw his eldest daughter who he hadn't seen for a long time. The indescribable taste of the five tastes in my heart.
Ever since Joy was put to death. He got a lot older overnight.
Shangguan Erya only glanced at it with her peripheral eyes. Then he knelt in the center of the hall without squinting.
"I have already selected four people to fight for Nanliang......"
The eunuch on the side said with a sharp voice: "The emperor has an order. Named Shangguan Erya as the unparalleled female marquis...... Departure on the same day."
Shangguan Erya bowed three times again." Obey the order."
There was silence in the temple. Nanliang actually produced a female marquis. She wants to fight for Nanliang in the Wuzun Tournament of the Four Kingdoms and One Palace.
The ministers did not speak. It's not disdainful. It's just that I can't find a reason to refute it. The above official Erya's ability is indeed suitable.
"Congratulations to the Peerless Princess."
I don't know who suddenly spoke.
Shangguan Erya got up and gave a fist salute. Look at the other side." Your Highness."
Ji Xinian abides by etiquette. Clenched his fists and said: "This is a long way to go. Take care."
"Take care."
