Zhang Zhao was shocked and looked around vigilantly. It was the same last time, inexplicably, Xiao Qingzhu disappeared out of thin air.

At this moment, he felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual power under his left ribs. Zhang Zhao instinctively blocked, only to hear the sound of the bell, and the iron fan bone touched the blade of the sword.

The sword stabbed once and then vanished. When Zhang Zhaofang wanted to leave, there was another wave of spiritual power in his back.

After a few times, Zhang Zhao was frightened. The elusive knife made Zhang Zhao break out in a cold sweat: What kind of spiritual art is this?

Xiao Qingzhu saw that he missed the stab several times, so he simply didn't do it. Zhang Zhao suddenly felt that there were spiritual power fluctuations all around, and before he could react, countless blades flew over out of thin air like daggers.

Thanks to Zhang Zhao's quick reaction, he opened the fan and knocked the leaves off one after another like a butterfly. At this moment, a sword blade quietly appeared in front of his abdomen, and Xiao Qingzhu stabbed it with a dead hand, stabbing the Xuantie Sword into the handle.

Zhang Zhao didn't feel much pain at first, but felt as if he had eaten a stomach of mint. He slowly lowered his head, only to see Xiao Qingzhu half-kneeling in front of him, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, and there was already a pool of blood under him.

"Ah, you...... You ......"

Zhang Zhao's face changed, and he lay down straight. Xiao Qingzhu stood up and looked at all this indifferently and calmly.

When did you start to become numb to killing?

Xiao Qingzhu sat on the ground and let himself think calmly for a while. She remembers a senior police officer telling her that as long as there is blood on her hands, she will never be able to wash it off for the rest of her life.

I'm afraid she'll have to go farther and farther down this road.

Xiao Qingzhu threw Zhang Zhao's body into the space. Last time, she used two halves of a watermelon to prove that everything in the space could be kept fresh, so the corpse might be able to help her. After doing this, Xiao Qingzhu left the warehouse as if nothing happened.

Zhang Zhao's disappearance made the entire Zhang Mansion anxious. Mrs. Zhang mobilized all his forces to find his son, but Zhang Zhao was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all. Mrs. Zhang pointed at Prime Minister Liu Cheng's nose and scolded him for not even being a child. Prime Minister Liu Cheng was also aggrieved: That bastard boy can't stand it, your brother can't look down on him, where can I go to live?

The Liu Mansion is also anxious, after all, the person disappeared in the Liu Mansion. Only Liu Yuyao was indifferent to all this, she only felt that Zhang Zhao couldn't think of slipping away. After all, no matter which one of Zhang Zhao and Liu Zhaodi disappears, it will be beneficial and harmless to her.

As soon as the New Year passed, Liu Yuyan went back to Shimen. For two months in a row, the atmosphere in both Zhang Mansion and Liu Mansion was dull. It wasn't until the Flower Dynasty Festival approached that the atmosphere came alive.

On the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, the queen will set up a banquet to invite the ladies and ladies of each province, on this day, everyone will enjoy the tea and flowers together, and the ladies of each province will have a variety of talent shows. However, this year's Flower Dynasty Festival is particularly exciting: the hundred-year-old withered peony in the imperial garden actually hit the flower buds, Qin Tianjian said that this is a great auspicious rui, plus His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to choose the crown princess, this year's Flower Dynasty Festival will be lively.

Unlike in the past, this year, the Empress Lady invited not only the ladies of the capital but also the foreign officials and the ladies of the vassal kingdoms, which is said to be the meaning of the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Liu did not stop Liu Zhaodi from entering the palace, and asked Mrs. Liu to prepare clothes for Xiao Qingzhu to enter the palace. It turned out that he originally had three biological daughters, but one had a bad reputation, one was married, and the most favored concubine was not the prince's blue eyes. Liu Cheng thought about it, although Liu Zhaodi said that she didn't like him, but after all, she was his titular daughter, and once she became the crown princess, she would still be the future prince. Although there is little hope for this, it always hurts to give it a try.

When Xiao Qingzhu received the newly cut clothes, he sneered in his heart: I only remembered me after the heirs withered. She is not willing to enter the palace, and she is even more unwilling to make false promises with those who do not speculate.

"Miss, there seems to be something wrong with this dress. ”

Cai Wei shook off the dress, and what caught her eye was a set of azure long skirts, the materials and needles of this long skirt were all of the highest quality, but Xiao Qingzhu frowned: the cuffs of this skirt were embroidered with a series of small phoenixes. Although she didn't understand it, she also knew that this pattern was a big transgression. No matter which dynasty or generation, the crime of trespassing can be big or small. But Mrs. Liu deliberately prepared such a set of clothes for her, which can be described as damning.

Xiao Qingzhu took it to heart. At this moment, a little girl ran over.

Aunt Xue said: Don't take the carriage. ”

After the little girl left such a sentence, she hurriedly ran away. Xiao Qingzhu knew in his heart: It seems that Mrs. Liu is going to do something again.

Liu Yuyao had already left in the best sandalwood carriage in Liu's mansion, and no one was ready for her own carriage. Just when he was anxious, a little guy led the carriage.

"Please get in the car. ”

The carriage looked rudimentary. Xiao Qingzhu thought for a while, and she pulled Caiwei Cailing into the car together.

The carriage was halfway slowly, and when it came to a bridge, an inexplicable beggar suddenly rushed out, and the horse was so frightened that he ran away. As soon as the horse's hand was loosened, even the cart and the horse fell into the turbulent river.

"Miss Liu Fu fell into the river!"

With a shout, the people on the road gathered around, seeing that the carriage was drifting farther and farther, and rescue was impossible. The people around sighed. Not far away, under the ancient willows, Xiao Qingzhu and the two girls were silently watching all this.

"Let's go. ”

It turned out that as early as when the carriage walked to the bridge, the three of them felt that something was wrong. Xiao Qingzhu pulled Cai Wei Cai Ling into the space, and the carriage fell into the water. While everyone was in chaos, the three of them quietly slipped out again.

What a vicious mind, Mrs. Liu.

The hatred in Xiao Qingzhu's heart increased again. The trio had to walk to the palace.

After a while, a call suddenly came from behind him.

"Is it Miss Liu Fu in front?"

Xiao Qingzhu turned his head and saw a person who looked like a female official running over.

Xiao Qingzhu hurriedly gave a salute: "The courtier is Liu Zhaodi, the fourth daughter of the Liu Mansion." ”

The female officer smiled and said, "You should be going to the Flower Dynasty Festival, right?" My master invited you to go with him. ”

Xiao Qingzhu hurriedly asked, "May I ask who your master is......?"

As he was talking, he saw His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage rushing over. Xiao Qingzhu hurriedly gave a salute: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wan'an!"

"Miss Liu Si doesn't have to be polite. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince motioned for her to get up, "Since you don't have a carriage, you might as well ride with me in this carriage." ”

Xiao Qingzhu bowed down: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness the Prince, but this car is something that the courtiers never dare to ride." ”

"You don't have to be restricted. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him a lift, "Miss Liu Si is very similar to a friend I know. ”

Xiao Qingzhu said with a smile: "That courtier girl is really fortunate in three lives. I wonder who His Highness's friend is?"

The prince said with a smile: "Her name is Xiao Qingzhu, and she is a very beautiful woman. ”

Xiao Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately frightened her legs weak: obviously her appearance was completely different from that time, how did the prince recognize it? But she quickly reacted, and while quietly wiping the cold sweat from her nose, she smiled and said: "The posture of the courtier's daughter Pu Liu, I'm afraid it can't be compared with that Xiao girl." ”

The prince looked at her deeply: "Miss Liu Si naturally has her own uniqueness. ”

Xiao Qingzhu bowed again: "The courtiers, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his compliment." ”

The prince motioned for her to flatten: "Since Miss Liu Si refuses to get in the car, it is better to ride in the same car with my concubine!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pointed back, only to see a chic carriage parked behind. It would be a bit unreasonable to refuse again, Xiao Qingzhu hurriedly thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and got into the carriage.
