Chapter 244: The Queen's Birthday Banquet (5): A dead end
"The third princess said this, but there must be evidence, I am sobering up outside, how can I design you?"
Xia Sihan's voice passed through the crowd and clearly reached her ears. The queen and the others turned around, and when they saw her, their faces were stunned!
Xia Yingxue was even more panicked, and said with a trembling mouth: "Obviously, you went out first, and I helped you over with the palace lady beside the queen!" It's like aunt, you testify to me, we came together! ”
It was as if it was the previous palace lady, hearing Xia Yingxue digging herself out, she said expressionlessly: "The third princess still don't have to be sophistry, the slave maid has never seen Mrs. Li Shao, let alone brought her here with you." What kind of place is this, who dares to come here without the emperor's order. ”
The words made Xia Yingxue's face pale, she looked at the queen in disbelief, and seeing her gloomy face, Xia Yingxue's heart sank! At this moment, she realized that the plan had failed, and it was an abandoned chess piece, so that the queen would not arouse suspicion for herself.
And Xia Sihan sneered in her heart, silently walked to her mother-in-law's side, and held her hand tightly. Just now, Mother Li almost screamed out when she saw Xia Yingxue's back, the two of them looked too similar from behind, and now seeing Xia Sihan standing beside her, Mother Li's heart finally let go.
The queen mother said in a deep voice: "This matter is about the royal face, and now that the three princes are not in Beijing, the three princesses have done such a ridiculous thing." Go to the prison first, and then discuss it when the third prince comes back! As for him......"
The queen paused for a moment and asked, "Do you have any excuses?" ”
The man raised his head, his eyes were full of dead silence, and he shook his head and said: "The slave knows that he is guilty of capital crimes, and he can win the favor of the third princess, and he will die without regrets!" ”
His words made Xia Yingxue collapse, she struggled desperately, broke free from the hands of the palace people, came to the man and slapped her hand, and said angrily: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm my innocence!" ”
The man just didn't speak, and let her make trouble. The queen was a little impatient, waved her hand, and the palace people immediately dragged her away.
When passing by Xia Sihan, Xia Yingxue glared at her fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her alive. Xia Sihan didn't think so, after today, Xia Yingxue can no longer be arrogant, this can be regarded as an explanation to herself in her previous life. After all, it would be gracious to let her live until now.
"Queen Mother, do you want to report this matter to the emperor?" The old eunuch beside the queen reminded.
"Stupid, how can such filthy things disturb the emperor!" The queen rebuked.
"Then what should we do with the three princesses? There is still some time before the third prince returns, and if he is locked up in prison for a long time, the emperor will know sooner or later. The old eunuch reminded.
"Then let's put it to death! Even if the emperor knew, she would inevitably die. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The queen killed decisively, and no one dared to say anything. Xia Yingxue fainted directly, and when she woke up again, what was waiting for her was a white silk.
"Go back, the jugglers should be here."
The queen mother's understatement pulled everyone's thoughts back, which also shocked Xia Sihan.
It's about royal face, and the queen just disposed of the two of them and went back, as if she didn't care about this kind of face. But just think about it, Murong Yu has not been in harmony with her for a day or two, and now in addition to Xia Yingxue, it can be regarded as a slap in Murong Yu's face, even if he returns successfully, the emperor will not reward him.
Xia Sihan and Mother Li walked at the end, and out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of the little maid hiding in the corner, and the corners of their mouths slowly hooked.
She went out with her mother-in-law with peace of mind, and Mother Li pinched her sweat and asked softly: "Fang Cai, I thought it was you, it really scared me." ”
"They want me too, but I'm not going to let them get it."
Xia Sihan's words made Li's mother look sideways, and when she saw the coldness in Xia Sihan's eyes, Li's mother was shocked. Originally, she thought that the palace was already an abyss, but she didn't want to go to the palace, so she knew what it was to be frightened step by step.
A palace banquet cost the lives of two people, although Xia Yingxue said that she deserved to die, she was also a princess, so she gave such a hasty death order.
Of course, the queen could not let her live, knowing that this matter was ultimately ordered by her. In case Xia Yingxue confessed her for self-preservation, wouldn't anyone believe it, but it would also affect her reputation as the mother of a country to some extent. This potential danger, she must not allow it to exist.
Mrs. Liu came to her side at some point and whispered, "I saw you go out just now, and they followed, aren't they ......?"
Xia Sihan nodded and admitted, "Their goal was me, but I escaped by luck, and Xia Yingxue became a substitute for the dead." ”
Mrs. Liu was shocked, and was relieved to see Xia Sihan's indifferent face.
"If it weren't for your cleverness, I'm afraid that the entire Li family would have had an accident, and even the palace would have been implicated."
Xia Sihan was also scared in her heart, if she hadn't had a space bracelet, she would have become the laughing stock of the whole city at this time. Li Jinyan was far away in the sky, and he was powerless to save her, and she was the one who died.
The queen's move was really chilling, and even Murong Xue was calculated by her. Xia Sihan looked at the red figure at the front, and didn't dare to be careless. In her previous life, she was calculated by the queen a lot, and she started again in this life, but she was hurt many times. No matter in her past or present life, can't she escape the clutches of the queen? Only when you get to her position will she not be designed!
Xia Sihan's heart trembled! How could she have such an idea, but after thinking about it, Li Jinyan is the son of the prince and the nephew of the emperor, and it is not impossible to sit on the supreme position! But she soon put the idea behind her. The high place is unbearable, Xia Sihan has had enough of sitting in a high position.
There is a juggling troupe in front, the stage has been set up, and everyone is sitting in turn, this time Xia Sihan doesn't drink a drop of wine, and he doesn't even use refreshments, so he doesn't give them a chance at all.
"Niangniang, Xia Yingxue was given ...... by the cell boss when she entered the prison"
Gong E seemed to whisper in her ear, and the queen mother's eyes overflowed with a touch of coldness, and the corners of her mouth pursed a sneer: "Give her a foot of white silk, if she still has a trace of shame." ”
"Niangniang, how about the third prince coming back?"
"Come back? Then he has to come back! The queen's voice startled her heart, and she hurriedly retreated.
Xia Sihan looked over and saw that he retreated as if he was silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it seemed that something had happened again. She looked around and didn't see Mrs. Shangshu, which was strange.
"On the queen's birthday, why didn't anyone from Shangshu Mansion come?"
Xia Sihan secretly asked Mrs. Liu next to her, and the latter whispered, "You still don't know?" I heard that Mrs. Xia has been in poor health recently, so she only asked people to give gifts today, otherwise Xia Yingxue would have committed such an ugly thing, how could Mrs. Xia desperately plead for intercession. ”
Xia Sihan knew in his heart that Mrs. Xia and Xia Yingxue knew that being the queen's pawn would be abandoned at any time. Mrs. Xia couldn't come today, in fact, she was avoiding the queen, but she didn't want her daughter to end up like this.
Xia Sihan sneered, "This is the end of being a chess piece, she should have guessed that there would be this ending when she was planning, even if she pleaded for mercy, it couldn't change anything." ”
Mrs. Liu's heart trembled, listening to the meaning of Xia Sihan's words, could it be that Xia Yingxue was also instructed to kill Xia Sihan, but who could instruct the three princesses like this? Unless this person's status is higher than Xia Yingxue's, thinking about it like this, there is no doubt that he must be a noble person in the palace.
Speculating like this, Mrs. Liu was terrified, and when she looked at Xia Sihan again, she was very worried.
