"Princess?" Xia Aya hurriedly came over to help her: "It's too dangerous, why doesn't that person have long eyes when he walks?" ”

"I'm fine. Did you see that person just now, how do I think he looks so much like King Ning's little prince? Jin Shu asked as he went downstairs.

Before Xia Aya could speak, Xiaohuan replied: "The princess must have seen it wrong, why is Xiao Shizi here?" ”

Jin Shu thought about the stupid Gao Chengyan in the capital, and also felt that it made sense: "Yes, maybe I was wrong." Let's go, let's go, hey, hasn't Zhu Dongxu come over yet? ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Saying that, Zhu Dongxu rushed over again: "Why are you walking so slowly?" Didn't you tell you to go downstairs and wait for me? When I dragged my cloak away just now, I swept off a pot of tea and wiped it for a long time before I wiped off all the tea residues. I also lost a lot of money. Why are you so unlucky today! ”

———————————

Since the business was not negotiated, he couldn't swallow this breath, and Zhu Dongxu, who was eager to pursue the dream of wealth and wealth, temporarily decided to stay in Hezhou for a few more days. Jinshu originally wanted to stay for a few more days, but when he thought of promising Shen Zhizhang to go back quickly before leaving, and was afraid that Concubine Jing in the palace would worry, Jinshu still decided to return to Beijing on time.

Early the next morning, the two parted in front of the inn.

The carriage swayed in the direction of the capital, and the brocade book, who was accustomed to riding in the carriage, could also enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers and wonderful snow scenes of Daliang on the bumpy road.

It had snowed all night last night, and the sky was white, covered in silver, and everything was silent, except for the squeaking sound of the snow on the ground.

Jin Shu put down the curtain and rubbed his hands, took the hand warmer handed by Xiaohuan and covered it, but he saw that the boiled beans sitting next to him were still writing hard.

"Hey, Mr. Dongxu is gone, what else are you writing?" Jin Shu tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"Back to the princess, the slave has been used to writing in the past two days, not for the son, but for Dou Ying." Boiled beans showed a shy smile as he spoke.

"To the beans?" Jinshu gossip asked: "You and Dou Qi, are you two brothers?" The relationship is so good! ”

"No, we both grew up together."

Xia Aya smiled, and learned Zhu Dongxu's movements, snatched it and flipped through it: "I'll see what you write!" ”

"Hey, you can't see it, you can't see it! Princess, look at her! Because the sixth princess was here, the arm raised by the boiled bean was put down again, and he could only complain aggrieved.

Jinshu chuckled: "You will sue every day, that's how your son-in-law taught you?" Grab it with her directly! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the boiled beans who had obtained permission immediately leaned over and grabbed the paper in Xia Aya's hand: "Give it to me!" Give me! ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Aya was tall and long, and she avoided him with a smile, and read while hiding: "The princess buys five...... What to buy five...... I only have one ...... What the...... What's all written here? Xia Aya wrinkled her brows and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh! Did you say that the princess bought five portions of snow plum fruit and gave you only one? ”

"No, no!" The boiled beans blushed, and they were so anxious that they hurriedly grabbed them. He and Xia Aya were fighting, but the small ring in the middle was in a dilemma and wanted to cry without tears: "Don't make trouble, this is in the carriage, be careful!" ”

Jinshu just looked at the two of them and smiled, and only when Xia Aya had the upper hand did he speak to stop him: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." I bought a lot of food this time, and I went back and shared it with everyone. Xia Aya, send the letter to ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, she could only hear the neighing of horses outside the carriage, and the sound was quite fierce and painful, as if it was about to pierce the whole valley. Almost at the same moment, the whole carriage swayed violently. Before everyone could understand what was happening, they heard another swish outside the carriage, and then the whole carriage staggered forward, and the next moment it began to spin and fall rapidly.

The difference between life and death was clear to everyone: the carriage overturned.

At this time, everything in front of Jinshu's eyes, including herself, began to rotate upside down, and she tried to hunch her back to hold her head, and shouted hoarsely: "Protect your head!" Protect your head! ”

In a moment of dizziness, Jin Shu only felt that he had been thrown out of the carriage fiercely, and he slammed into something on his waist, and after experiencing severe pain all over his body in an instant, he quickly lost consciousness.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound of huge objects crashing into the valley, and finally there was a loud noise at the bottom of the valley, startling a flock of birds in the dead woods, and then regaining peace for a moment.

———————————

The news of the sixth princess's accident only reached Concubine Jing's ears seven days later. At this time, it was the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and the people of the whole Liang were immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.

The news of the unexpected death of a princess exploded in the capital unexpectedly and without warning. It added a layer of gloom and panic to the already tense capital.

The first thing to feel wrong was Chun Juan, and the six princesses who had been supposed to arrive that night did not return as scheduled. But after discussing with Mama Xu, she felt that it was very likely that the snowy road would be delayed for a day, so she didn't particularly care about it that night.

On the second day, Shen Zhizhang, the sixth horse, came to pick up people, and learned that the princess had not returned, so he instructed Dou Qian to contact the princess by letter to greet the return. In the afternoon of the same day, he received a secret report from the day before, which said that the sixth princess would be the first to return to Beijing and leave tomorrow. It stands to reason that two days have passed, and the sixth princess should be back.

On the third day, there was no reply, Shen Zhizhang had a premonition that something was wrong, and immediately ordered his family to go out to find someone, and on the way, he received another warning letter exactly the same as last time. He was immediately frightened, and was shocked to realize that the sixth princess was afraid that she would be more than lucky. He immediately sent people into the palace, informed the emperor of the warning letter and the news, and transferred a thousand people to the army through Shen Zhiyan, and personally led everyone to search everywhere from the capital to Hezhou.

It wasn't until the sixth day that the bodies of the six princesses and their party were found in the valley floor thirty miles away from Beijing.

It was not Shen Zhizhang who first found the body. It was a young soldier who saw faint ruts and blood stains on the snow, and suspected that this might be the place where the carriage had an accident, and climbed down the valley a few steps to see scattered objects scattered on the slope. When I walked to the bottom of the valley, I saw two unrecognizable and mutilated corpses that had been eaten by wild wolves. He walked half a mile further at the bottom of the valley and found the horses and coachmen, who were also mutilated.

After hearing the soldier's report, Yao Lin, the leader of the team, carefully followed Shen Zhiyan's instructions before going out, and immediately ordered people to kill Shen Zhizhang, who was almost crazy, and sent someone down to quickly collect the corpses for them, and only took the jewelry rings on the two female corpses and handed them to Chunjuan for identification.

After identification, these hairpin ring jewelry belong to the six princesses and Xia Aya respectively.

After the coffin was transported into the capital, it was sent to the Shen Mansion under Shen Zhizhang's stubbornness. When the exact news reached the emperor, it was already seven days after the accident.

After hearing the news, the emperor sighed, and after a moment of silence, he quickly made a decision on how to deal with it. 1. In order to take care of the royal dignity, it was announced that the six princesses were unfortunately killed, and they quickly selected a date to be posthumously buried. 2. Send someone to secretly investigate the truth of the death of the sixth princess, whether it was an accident or a man-made. 3. Restrict all activities of the crown prince and temporarily put him under house arrest. Fourth, appease the Shen family, appease Shen Zhizhang, and temporarily cancel all official duties of Shen Zhizhang.

After the emperor has finished commanding. The little eunuch standing on the side pondered the emperor's thoughts, and said euphemistically and tentatively: "Your Majesty, where is Concubine Jing ......?"

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, indifferent for a moment, and then sighed lightly and said, "I can't hide this matter, tell her tactfully." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch bowed and took a few steps back, and soon flashed and walked out of the hall quietly.

After everyone retreated, the entire hall seemed empty, and the emperor sat at his desk and slowly recalled the faces of the six princesses. In fact, he was not very impressed with this daughter. The sixth princess, like her mother, Concubine Jing, does not fight or fight to be quiet, as long as he does not take the initiative to call, he will never appear in front of him. The scene about the six princesses that he can remember so far is that a girl with a delicate face stood on the main hall and faced the envoy of the Northern Night Kingdom, and solved the problem cleanly. How could such a daughter die suddenly?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, could it be that the prince actually attacked his sister in order to warn Shen Zhizhang?

At that time, a strong wind blew outside the window, and the cold wind blew open the carved wooden window and rushed in. The warm charcoal-baked air in the room was swirling, bringing a chill that chilled into the heart and lungs.
