Chapter 55: Isn't Business Peaceful (1)
There was an assassin in the room, and by the time Pei Yaowei hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed back, Yu Zhi had already lost her breath.
The body was carried out of the chamber and placed in the courtyard. Yu Xu lay on the side, crying silently. When the little maid on the side saw the girl coming back, she hurriedly told her that when Sister Yuzhi was copying scriptures in the library, she encountered an assassin who broke in and was cut by the thief, and when they heard the sound and arrived, it was too late.
Yu Xu tried her best to hide her sadness, came to her side, and said with relief: "Girl, when the prince heard the news, he has personally led people to chase the assassin, and people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad......"
The maids around her were crying or comforting, Pei Yaoyan's footsteps stopped three steps away from Yu Zhi's body, her eyes sank little by little, and the whole person didn't move.
Yu Xu panicked and grabbed her cloak tightly: "Girl, do you say something......?"
Say what?
said that he was the one who had been copying scriptures and reading books in front of the bookcase in the middle of the night, saying that the assassin was going to take his own life tonight, and that Yu Zhi was defending himself from calamity?
Pei Yaowei couldn't say anything.
During the day, when Yu Zhi was by her side, she said that she didn't understand, but she was still willing to listen to her own words to correct it, and promised herself to copy the scriptures every day and meditate......
Until now, she was lying there quietly, no longer looking alive.
These images scrambled to jump in her head, colding her blood.
When Xiang Yao came over, Pei Yaowei was squatting beside Yu Zhi and covering her with vegetarian food. Xiang Yao asked the mother-in-law who followed up to take Yu Zhi's body down for placement, and told her that Xiang Tao had already known about the matter and had ordered the whole house to block the news and not leak it.
"Father asked me to tell you, so that you can rest assured, when the big thing is over tomorrow, I will give this girl a decent burial." After a pause, he frowned and said slowly, "...... You mourn. ”
Everyone knew that the assassin went to great lengths to enter the palace to assassinate him, naturally not to deal with a maid. Yu Zhi was killed in Xiang Yu's room again, and Xiang Tao promised a generous burial, more or less for the sake of comforting Xiang Yu.
At this time, someone called 'Shizi', Pei Yao came back to his senses, turned his head at the same time as Xiangyao, and saw Xiangying walking into the courtyard in the dust. He nodded at Xiangyao, "Second brother is also there." ”
Xiang Yao asked, "Caught up with the assassin?" ”
"I chased it," Xiang Ying said, "But what I chased was not a person, it was a corpse." ”
Xiang Yao and Pei Yao were both accidents, Xiang Ying only said, he led people to chase him out not far away, and found the assassin's body under the back door wall.
"Who did it?" Xiang Yao frowned deeply, but he was more vigilant in his heart than when he heard the assassin break into the mansion, "People in the mansion? Or an outsider? ”
Xiang Ying shook his head, "The hands of the person who did it were very clean, and they didn't leave any clues." I also examined the corpse, but I found nothing. Thinking of coming over and taking a look, maybe there are traces in the library. ”
After that, he thought about it, but said that his father hadn't had time to return there, so he asked Xiang Yao to go on his own behalf.
After Xiang Yao left, the two glanced at each other, and Pei Yaowei tacitly followed him into the library.
"Nothing really?" She asked.
"I don't know who killed the assassin, but the assassin ......," Xiang Ying muttered, "There is a tattoo on his body, I have seen it, it should be the dead soldier of the Liang family." ”
Many years ago, he had fought with the dead soldiers of the Liang family, and others could not recognize the origin of the totem, but he knew it clearly.
After a pause, Pei Yaowei suddenly laughed.
She was not surprised by this answer at all.
"Before, I instigated Mrs. Zuo to poison me by Mrs. Huan's hand, but I accidentally hurt Fang Shi. This time, seeing that the wedding date was approaching, she simply sent someone to kill me......" she snorted, "It can be seen how afraid she is of marrying Xiao Di." ”
Xiangying looked at her deeply, retracted her gaze for a while, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to ......" Pei Yao stretched his sleeves and said slowly: "Eliminate the pest." ”
In her previous life, she had been stirred up by revenge and had committed many mistakes. is to start over again, even if Xiao persecuts one by one, she always thinks about being a man and leaving a line, and does not want to calculate him to a dead end. I am afraid that I have retaken the old path of my previous life and implicated innocent people.
But now, it seems that no.
Qing Tan almost got along with her relatives before, Fang Shi almost lost her life, and this time, Yu Zhi's death.
The mother and son in the palace, she can't tolerate it.
For this reason, her best weapon is the person that Empress Dowager Liang does not want her to marry.
The news that the Jiyang County Mansion was assassinated and that a maid had died in the fourth girl's room was handed to His Royal Highness the King of Chu within the night.
Xiao Di listened to the report of Wei Chaoyang, and without thinking: "The people of the Liang family? ”
Wei Chaoyang bowed his head and said, "Exactly." Our people in the Prime Minister's Mansion have taken action and have dealt with the assassin. Empress Dowager Liang is afraid that she will be disappointed. ”
Xiao Di thought about it, and suddenly asked Wei Chaoyang a question: "You say, do you still want Xiang Yu to die now?" ”
"Probably...... Don't want to, right? Wei Chaoyang guessed. I was worried about this before, but from the finalization of the marriage to now, there is no chance for the Xiangjia girl, but the only person who intends to kill her is the Empress Dowager Liang. If Xiao Zhu really had this intention, he would not be so relieved to fake the hands of others.
Xiao Di asked again: "Then do you think that Xiao Zhu can know about Empress Dowager Liang's attack on Xiang Yu?" ”
Wei Chaoyang pondered: "The Empress Dowager Liang sent the dead soldiers of the Liang family, since she didn't dare to use the people in the palace, she must be guarding against the emperor, afraid that he will know?" ”
Xiao Di smiled faintly.
"Between mother and son, it's better not to deceive or hide." He looked at Wei Chaoyang: "What do you think?" ”
Wei Chaoyang's brain moved and understood, "Yes, the subordinates will arrange it." ”
Xiao Zhu has always been displeased with Empress Dowager Liang's hand stretched out too long and has to interfere in everything, if this matter is fanned to the emperor's ears, it is probably a good way to divide their mother and son.
The sky was bright.
Early in the morning, it rained in the air, and Yu Chaoyang joked with the instant rain at first, saying that I hope this rain is like you, and it will go away in an instant, otherwise I don't know how much to delay.
Instant rain heard this, but sneered at his ignorance, only said that getting married on a rainy day is a good luck thing, God will shed all the tears of a lifetime for the future princess, and the prince and the princess will be happy and happy in the future, and the reunion will be joyful.
I don't know if her words are too useful, this rain from day to dark, the later it is, the more it will splash. The welcoming team of the Chu Palace's family arrived at Xiang's house, but it was blocked by the rain and picked up the new princess, but she couldn't leave for a while.
Fortunately, this was originally a step-by-step marriage, because of the filial piety of Xiang Yu, it was ordered by Xiao Di early in the morning, not too ostentatious, and there were not many people invited, but the weight was increased in the dowry, and the face of Xiang and Xiang Yu was fully completed.
Mr. Yiyuan also followed the greeting procession. A few days ago, he was not free, and the Xiang family came to invite him a few times, but he dragged him over, now that he has free time, Xiao Di remembered this matter, and simply invited him over, so that he could go back and give Mrs. Huan a pulse, so as to feel at ease.
Mr. Yiyuan was ordered to go.
Juan Niang led people to Nanyuan, but she didn't find the shadow of the master for a while, she was a little embarrassed to say to Mr. Yuan: "Madame Xu is busy ahead, don't be surprised, sir, please wait for a while, let the slave and maid go to find it." ”
Mr. Yiyuan replied lightly, did not say anything else, and waited quietly in Nanyuan Hall.
The front was busy, and the people who were waiting in Nanyuan were also transferred, and Juan Niang left, Mr. Yiyuan, and there was no one for a while. After sitting for a moment, he had just reached for the teacup when suddenly a figure flashed into the hall, and his movements stopped.
Chao Rong was still dressed as a disfigured florist, he looked at the person in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a hat and concealing his true face at all, so he didn't like it in his heart.
It's really unsightly.
He pursed his lips and asked, "You are the one-eyed one-dollar?" ”
Mr. Yiyuan raised his eyes, and looked at him quietly with a calm gaze.
On the other side, Juan Niang asked around in front of her, and said that she hadn't seen Mrs., and she was so anxious. At this time, a little maid told her that someone saw Madame going in the direction of the Lixing Building, so she roared to the Lixing Building again.
On the way, she was still curious, Lixinglou is the county study, there is nothing to do on weekdays, and Mrs. will not approach, what is she going to do at this time?
The surroundings of the Lixing Building were quiet, except for the sound of rain, there was no other sound, which was very incompatible with the noise of the vestibule. Just getting close to this place, Juan Niang unconsciously slowed down, for fear of alarming.
In front of the door, she slowed her breath and knocked carefully, and after a while, she heard a few noises suddenly coming from inside.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Huan's voice said: "Who is it?" ”
Juan Niang was stunned.
She was familiar with the master's voice, but such a vigilant and hurried tone......
Before she could think about it, she only said in a loud voice: "Madam, it's a slave!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu called Mr. Yiyuan to check your pulse, what are you doing here? Go with the slave and maid! ”
His voice landed, and in a moment, the door was violently opened.
"Mr. One Yuan is here?" Mrs. Huan asked.
Juan Niang was stunned, a little panicked in her heart, for some reason, the appearance of the master at this time is really a little strange.
It's like, something's going to happen.
She nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. has been waiting for you in Nanyuan Hall for a long time, let's go over quickly!" ”
Mrs. Huan took a deep breath and trembled and spit it out, Juan Niang went up to help her, only to find that her whole body was trembling.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" She stretched the umbrella open and said worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?" …… Or, for the sake of the four girls to get married, reluctant and uncomfortable? ”
Mrs. Huan opened her mouth and shook her head again.
"It doesn't matter." She said, "Aren't you going to see the doctor soon?" ”
