Xie Mingxi received a letter from his father Xie Jun.

“…… The matter of the Shu garrison taking Lian Fuzi as the head of the sect has had a great repercussion in the court, and several imperial historians have impeached His Royal Highness. As the princess of Shu, you should also comfort His Royal Highness the King of Shu in everything. lest His Highness act absurdly and become a laughing stock in the mouths of the people......"

After reading Xie Jun's euphemistic persuasion, Xie Mingxi sneered and wrote a reply.

A few days later, this reply letter arrived in Xie Jun's hands.

Xie Jun unfolded the letter.

The letter was quite brief, with only a few words. The handwriting is free and powerful, and it is self-contained.

"Your Highness is meritocracy. Invite Master Lian as the head of the sect, because Master Lian is the most suitable candidate. In terms of background, skills, and the art of war, who can compare with Master Lian? ”

"Your Highness is determined, and I fully support Your Highness."

"If anyone gossips in my father's ear, he just straightens his back and responds. There's no need to be afraid of any gossip. ”

"Because, this is just the beginning."

Xie Jun was shocked when he saw it, and his brows jumped.

Begin?

What do you mean this is just the beginning?

What else does the King of Shu want to do?

What does Xie Mingxi want to do?

How could he have a very bad premonition?

Xie Jun read this letter back and forth dozens of times. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

For some reason, he didn't even have the courage to write another letter to ask for clarification, so he simply covered his ears and stole the bell, and hid the letter secretly, just as if there was nothing to do.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pretended to ask again inadvertently: "Did Xie Shilang write a letter to Princess Shu?" ”

Xie Shilang complained helplessly: "The daughter who marries out of the house is the daughter-in-law of someone else's family." I, as a father, am helpless! ”

Xie Shilang was shameless, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had to stop talking stupidly.

Fortunately, there are many affairs between the DPRK and China, and there are many new things in the capital. A month later, an incident in the palace became the latest talk of everyone.

……

Concubine Li died.

Concubine Li is not very old, several years younger than Empress Dowager Yu. This year it's only about forty years. After the death of Emperor Jianwen, Concubine Li lingered on the sickbed. After King Ning was punished for committing a crime, Concubine Li was even more ill. Although he was carefully cared for by the imperial doctor, he died quickly.

The death of Concubine Li is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Ningxia Palace.

Li Xiangru was shocked to hear the bad news, got up suddenly, and suddenly the sky swirled. It was only with Bi Tao's support that he barely stabilized his figure, and opened his mouth tremblingly: "Come, come, prepare the carriage, I will enter the palace!" ”

Bi Tao was worried, and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, do you want to send someone to deliver a letter to Your Highness?" ”

Li Xiang calmed down and nodded with a heavy expression: "Let someone deliver the letter immediately." ”

Half an hour later, Li Xiangru entered the palace.

She didn't dare to go directly to Jingrong Palace, she went to the Jiaofang Palace, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Yu, she knelt down and kowtowed, crying with red eyes: "My daughter-in-law was shocked to hear the bad news of Concubine Li's death in the mansion, and her heart ached. I implore the queen mother to allow her daughter-in-law to go to Jingrong Palace. ”

Empress Dowager Yu is also getting old, and there are more and more silver threads in her hair. The corners of his mouth are slightly downward, his gaze is faint, and he is not angry but threatening.

Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Li Xiangru, who was crying: "The king of Ningxia was punished by the emperor to go to the imperial tomb and cannot return to Beijing." Anyway, you will send Concubine Li on behalf of the King of Ningxia for the last journey. ”

Li Xiangru kowtowed again and thanked him: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

……

The concubine in the palace passed away, and the funeral had its own rules.

All the noble ladies in Beijing have to enter the palace to cry for seven days.

Jingrong Palace died of its master and was set up as a mourning hall. Concubine Li wore the shroud prepared in front of her, dressed neatly, and lay in the coffin as if she were asleep.

Li Xiangru doesn't have any deep affection for this mother-in-law. Because she has never been pregnant, Concubine Li has not been a little blocked by Li Xiangru. The death of Concubine Keli, Li Xiangru still felt deep sadness.

King Ping, who was only eleven years old, knelt in the mourning hall and cried heartbreakingly.

Xiao Yuhan saw it in his eyes, and he also felt compassion, and personally stepped forward to comfort: "Don't be too sad." If she hurts her body by crying, Concubine Li knows it underground, and she doesn't know how to be sad. ”

King Ping was born quite handsome, but unfortunately he did not have the cold and compelling demeanor of his brother King Ningxia. At this time, he raised his red and swollen eyes and stared at Xiao Yuhan deadly.

Without saying a word, the hatred was unmistakable.

Xiao Yuhan felt bitter in his heart.

King Ping must have thought that Concubine Li had been killed...... It is indeed not difficult to attack a seriously ill person. With a little tricks, Concubine Li will return to the west with her life.

She didn't know if Empress Dowager Yu secretly instructed the imperial doctors to do tricks. At least, she is innocent and has never had murderous intentions towards Concubine Li.

It's a pity, apparently King Ping doesn't think so.

In King Ping's opinion, his brother-in-law was tossed by Emperor Jian'an and went to the imperial tomb, and Emperor Jian'an was not satisfied, and he poisoned his mother-in-law again!

The person who started must be Queen Xiao in front of her!

……

King Ping, who was carried away by hatred, did a shocking thing.

He suddenly took out a small dagger from his sleeve, and then, holding the dagger, rushed towards Xiao Yuhan.

Xiao Yuhan also learned to ride and shoot when he was young, and also practiced martial arts. Although it's just a few shows, the reaction is much faster than that of ordinary women. Between the lightning and flint, take a few steps back.

The two envoys and palace maids who were guarding Xiao Yuhan's side each shouted angrily and flashed forward suddenly.

It's a pity that it's a step late!

When Emperor Jianwen was alive, in order to please him, all the princes practiced martial arts diligently. The young King Ping was no exception. In the past year, King Ping has deeply felt what it means to "hold high and step low" in the palace, and he has become more and more diligent in practicing martial arts.

At this time, King Ping disregarded his own safety and struck hard, and Xiao Yuhan only avoided the vital point in a hurry. The dagger still stabbed Xiao Yuhan's shoulder in the end.

Blood splattered, quickly staining the plain palace clothes. It's like a blood flower blooming.

Xiao Yuhan cried out in pain with pain on his face.

The two envoys and palace maids were a step late, and when they saw the queen mother injured, they were both shocked and angry, and their subordinates showed no mercy. One left and one right each shot.

Yin Xiaoxiao was furious and shot together angrily.

King Ping was like crazy, and continued to rush forward desperately, shouting angrily: "You must have hurt my mother." I want you to pay for your mother's life today! ”

Everyone in the mourning hall ran away and screamed, making a mess.

Li Xiangru was so frightened that his face was pale, and he subconsciously hid in the corner, shouting: "King Ping, stop quickly!" You must not offend the Queen! ”

This is the assassination of Empress Xiao in public! Count pairs of eyes staring! It's impossible to deny it!

This King Ping looks quite well-behaved and obedient on weekdays. Why did you suddenly go crazy today?

What to do?

What to do?

Li Xiangru's whole body trembled, and he watched with a pale face as King Ping was kicked to the ground by Yin Xiaoxiao. The bloody dagger in King Ping's hand also fell to the ground with a clatter, flashing a frightening cold light.
