Chapter 176: Assassination (Three Watches)

"You said so much, it is nothing more than to get the palace to agree to marry Xie Chenghei and let the Chen Guogong Mansion stand on King Yi's side." Princess Lin'an Zhengse said, "The queen mother only gave birth to one of the palace, no matter which prince takes the throne in the future, the palace will be the eldest princess, why should the palace wade into this troubled water?" ”

If it were a last resort, Princess Lin'an didn't want to be involved with the heir.

Xie Qing smiled lightly and said, "It's not a question of whether you want to be a princess or not, but that you have become a bargaining chip for the heir, and everyone wants to get it." ”

Princess Lin'an's face stiffened slightly.

"Your origins dictate that you can't stay out of it. If you are just an ordinary princess, you can marry in a noble family, as long as Da Yue is still there, a life of glory and wealth is certainly not a problem. ”

"Bold! You just talk about the Dayue Dynasty! Princess Lin'an reprimanded.

I saw that her eyebrows were cold and her sideburns were high, which was very different from the cute and delicate image on weekdays.

Xie Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, this is the true face of this princess, who is a fool who grew up in the deep water of the palace? Even if someone like Concubine Ye Defei is just not good enough and stupid, she can still calculate.

The cute and well-behaved and outspoken Princess Lin'an in the past is just a protective color.

"Princess, there is the queen mother behind you, and the Chen Guogong Mansion, you can't do whatever you want." Xie Qing said lightly.

Princess Lin'an's face turned cold, and she said: "You are so deliberate, not to let the palace support King Yi, but judging from the current situation, King Zhao has a greater grasp of the throne." As soon as the matter of Lingzhou is completed this time, his merits in the court will be greatly recorded, and the courtiers will support him. ”

Xie Qing said sarcastically: "King Zhao's merits? I'm afraid that you think too much, princess, the method of water diversion was thought out by Yun Shizi, although King Zhao said that he went to the field investigation, but in fact, the people who really contributed to the Ministry of Engineering, from beginning to end, King Zhao just went to do a scene. ”

What Zhao Tianlin did in Lingzhou, Feng Bo had already sent a message to Xie Qing. Zhao Tianlin didn't understand anything at all, and all the things about digging ditches and ditches were all done by Master Jian of the Ministry of Industry racking his brains.

Princess Lin'an frowned slightly: "How do you know?" ”

Xie Qing replied unhurriedly: "I am the young lady of the Xie family, so naturally I know these things." ”

"Even so, what does it matter to outsiders? They will only see that it is King Zhao who has traveled thousands of miles to deal with the disaster. Princess Lin'an said lightly, "And how much my father likes King Zhao, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but from the title, King Zhao takes the surname of the country as the title, but this glory is not given to King Yi." ”

Judging from the current situation, the queen mother of Zhao favored the harem, and Emperor Yongqing also favored King Zhao, and he had meritorious contributions, and the possibility of ascending to the throne was greater than that of King Yi.

"Your Majesty likes King Zhao so much, so why don't you crown King Zhao as the crown prince, and from now on the name is justified."

Xie Qing's words made Princess Lin'an stunned.

"Your Majesty is also waiting, King Zhao and King Yi, who will be on the throne is not certain." Xie Qing said lightly.

"You don't want this palace to choose King Yi yet, but what if this palace doesn't? The palace feels that King Zhao is more likely to ascend the throne, so why should the palace choose Ye Chengxuan? Princess Lin'an pouted and said.

"Don't think that this palace doesn't know, Ye Chengxuan's insult to you is simply in your calculations, you have done so much, and you don't hesitate to risk your life, it's for this palace, right?"

Xie Qing nodded, blinked and said, "As the princess expected, Xie Qing just wants the princess to see Ye Chengxuan's true face." ”

Looking at the "sincere" eyes of the blue-clothed woman in front of her, Princess Lin'an expressed her doubts: "You deliberately ruined Ye Chengxuan's reputation!" He can sit in the position of the commander of the Imperial Guards, how can he be a person who is easily fascinated by beauty? ”

Princess Lin'an glanced at Xie Qing's beautiful face and muttered in a low voice, "Although you are indeed beautiful." ”

Princess Lin'an has to admit this, she has observed Xie Qing herself, her face is stunning, the most rare thing is the temperament that is revealed around her body, beautiful and refined, this point looks at the capital, I am afraid that it is difficult to find someone who can match her, there are often people with charming faces, all beauties have their own beauty, but this temperament is not something that anyone can have.

is also a woman, Princess Lin'an is even a little jealous of Xie Qing sometimes, for her as an ordinary daughter of a family, she will have such a temperament, even she, a royal princess, can't do it.

Temperament is a thing that is reflected in every gesture, so it must be something that is revealed in the bones, not something that can be done deliberately.

"Whether Ye Chengxuan is a person who is obsessed with women, Xie Qing can't say for sure, but there is one thing Xie Qing can tell the princess with certainty, Ye Chengxuan's ruthlessness and viciousness, I'm afraid it's not something you can bear the princess." Xie Qing said.

The implication is that Princess Lin'an, you can't control Ye Chengxuan, and you will only be crushed by him in the future.

As a princess, she has unique conditions, but in the end she can only be at the mercy of others, how can someone like Princess Lin'an accept it.

Princess Lin'an bit the corner of her lip tightly and said: "You describe Ye Chengxuan like this, isn't it just that the palace doesn't choose him, how does the palace know that what you say is true or false, and how can you think that the palace can't control him!" ”

"The princess naturally has the means, and she has her own furrows in her heart." Xie Qing said lightly, "But princess, don't forget, how did Ye Chengxuan get to the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army." ”

Princess Lin'an's eyes shrank.

"Ye Chengxuan followed behind King Zhao, raised his sword and beheaded all the guards of the Li family, washed the Li family in blood, and personally sent the Li family to prison, and after the Li family was beheaded, Ye Chengxuan was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army."

Xie Qing's voice was faint, so that people couldn't hear any joy or anger.

"What he can do to the Li family can also be used on others."

One day, the Chen family will be useless to King Zhao, and Ye Chengxuan can also raise his sword to slash the Chen family.

"The men in Chen Guogong's Mansion have all died on the battlefield, and there are only a few girls left, so there is no need for him to do this." Princess Lin'an told herself in her heart to stay calm and not be confused by Xie Qing's words.

Xie Qing's voice was hoarse: "Princess, you forgot, there is only one young lady in the Li family." "And this young lady also promised King Zhao as a concubine, the Li family is only King Zhao's father-in-law's family, but there will be no problems with any relatives.

"It was the Li family who collaborated with the enemy and treason, this is a fact that everyone knows." Princess Lin'an gritted her teeth and said.

Xie Qing smiled sarcastically and said, "Really? Is it really a fact? On the day of the wedding, the bride's maiden family broke out to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and then the people who were originally in-laws raided the house, which is a fact. ”

Where is there such a coincidence, the Li family collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and then happened to be discovered on the day of the wedding, and then the happy hall became a blood hall, and there was no Li family in the world from then on.

Princess Lin'an is a smart person, so she is naturally aware of the suspicions.

She clenched her fingers, gritted her teeth and said, "Xie Qing, you are so bold, you dare to speak for the criminal!" ”

Xie Qing got up, bowed to Princess Lin'an, and said with a faint smile: "The courtiers don't dare." With her head lowered and her lips covered by her hair trembling, one day, she would let everyone know that the Li family was not a criminal, the Li family was wronged, and she would make all the murderers public and let them accept the punishment they deserved.

As he spoke, suddenly the hull of the ship began to shake at a distance.

Princess Lin'an was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a cry.

"Miss, no, there are assassins!" Lingzhi hurriedly protected Xie Qing behind him.

When he said that, a man in black had already come in, and Lingzhi quickly kicked the person down.

But soon more men in black came in.

Xie Qing's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Princess, go quickly, Lingzhi, you protect the princess." ”

You Hu was assassinated, everything happened so suddenly, even Xie Qing didn't realize it, and she didn't have time to think about who did it right now, but no matter what, she must make sure that Princess Lin'an is safe, otherwise even if she survives, she will face huge trouble.

Lingzhi protected Princess Lin'an and Xie Qing and walked out, but before he could get out, he was already entangled by the assassins. Xie Qing took Princess Lin'an to dodge, and before he knew it, he was already far away from Lingzhi.

"What to do? Hongu doesn't want to die! Princess Lin'an's face turned pale, and she grabbed Xie Qing's hand tightly, she rarely went out of the palace, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation as an assassination.

Xie Qing shook Princess Lin'an's hand back, and said, "Don't worry, princess, you won't be fine." ”

"Who is going to kill Hongu?" Princess Lin'an said, "This palace never has a grudge against people, who wants to kill this palace?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, now is not the time to say this, save your life first." Caring about anything else, Xie Qingguang waved it, and the Chinese medicine powder in his sleeve was poured out, and in an instant, the people who were still surrounding them were all down one by one.

"Ganoderma lucidum!" Xie Qing shouted.

Now is not the time to entangle with the assassins, the top priority is to protect the safety of Princess Lin'an.

But those black-clothed people tightly entangled Lingzhi, and many people besieged it, Lingzhi's martial arts were only reluctant, and now they have to deal with so many people, and they have long been very difficult, and they can't get out at all.

Xie Qing frowned, at this moment, the boat is in the lake, and she can't get to the shore at all, how can she, a person who doesn't know martial arts, send Princess Lin'an away safely.

Just when Xie Qing was at a loss, Xie Chengsi came over in a small boat and shouted: "Princess, Weichen is here to save you." ”

Princess Lin'an's face changed greatly, and she pointed at Xie Qing's nose and said sharply: "You calculate the palace!" ”

"Be careful!" Xie Qing shouted, but it was still too late, and Princess Lin'an had already been pushed into the water.

The medicinal powder in Xie Qing's hand was waved out, and he finally knocked the person down, but Princess Lin'an had already fallen into the water.

"Help...... Help......" Princess Lin'an shouted.
