On this sunny day, Yixuan took a carriage to the imperial tomb in the suburbs.

The scenery in early spring is excellent, the peach willows are fragrant, and the wind is also gentle and cool.

Yixuan looked at the scenery for a while, closed her eyes and squinted for a while, and when she woke up, the carriage had stopped outside the imperial mausoleum.

She wanted to talk to Zhao Jinxiu for a long time, but it was inconvenient to be pregnant, and then she was confined, and Yuan Yuan pestered her all day long, and she was not available. It wasn't until Zhao Zhen told her that Duanwang was going to go to Jiangnan that she remembered that she hadn't settled her account with Zhao Jinxiu yet.

Yixuan was led to Zhao Jinxiu's residence, which was a dilapidated courtyard, not big, with peeling walls, wild grass growing fast and people tall, and the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, and it was extremely depressed. There was not only Zhao Jinxiu living in the courtyard, but also four palace maids who made mistakes and were punished.

According to the grandmother in charge, Zhao Jinxiu's life here is not easy.

Everyone is punished for their mistakes, and no one is nobler than anyone here, let alone a good face when he was the county lord before you.

Only the old bully the new, and the strong bully the weak.

On the first day Zhao Jinxiu came, he was poured cold water by the palace maid in the same courtyard. In the cold winter, a basin of cold water poured down from the top of his head, and Zhao Jinxiu fell ill immediately.

The reason is that Zhao Jinxiu put the county lord on the shelf in front of them, and his words offended people.

For this kind of thing, the mother in charge has always turned a blind eye, as long as she doesn't make trouble, she won't care.

"Because the prince ordered that Ah Xiu should not be killed, the slave maid had to find a doctor for her, and after drinking the medicine for a while, Ah Xiu raised her body, and the slave and maid never took care of it anymore." The lady in charge respectfully reported the situation to Yixuan.

Zhao Jinxiu was stripped off the surname Zhao, and everyone here called her Ah Xiu.

Yixuan smiled and asked Shuang'er to reward Mama with money.

The lady in charge was grateful.

When several palace maids saw someone coming, they all came out of the room curiously, and saw that Yixuan was dressed in a dignified manner, thinking that she was the same person as Ah Xiu, and immediately picked up a small stone from the ground with a smile, and threw it at Yixuan without saying anything.

"Hey newcomer, what's your name?"

The face of the lady in charge suddenly turned white.

If the princess is injured here, her old life will not be saved!

Fortunately, Shuang'er's eyes were quick, and he stopped the stone with his right hand, and threw it back with an angry face, hitting the knee of the palace maid opposite.

The palace maid screamed in pain and hurriedly covered her knees with her hands.

This newcomer is not easy to mess with.

The lady in charge stepped forward and gave the palace maid two slaps, trembling angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes!" This is Princess Yu! You have eaten the bear's heart, the leopard has the audacity to do something to the princess! Come here and take her to the guards to get rid of it!" ”

The palace maid looked at Yi Xuan in disbelief, how could this person be ...... She couldn't even think that in a place like them, except for the palace maids or officials' families who made mistakes, no one usually came.

She offended the most powerful woman today!

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down to confess her guilt, begging the princess to spare her life, her head banged, and soon she bled out, looking very miserable, and several palace maids couldn't pull her.

"Forget it." Yixuan said calmly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, so they should teach her a lesson." ”

Mama in charge could barely believe her ears.

She was accustomed to seeing the cruelty of the superiors, let alone for people like them, who were themselves guilty bodies.

But Princess Yu said so lightly and let it go.

"Yes." Mama agreed carefully, turned around and glared at the palace maid, and said, "The princess and Bodhisattva have the heart to spare your life, why don't you get out quickly?" ”

The palace maid kowtowed a few more times to thank her, and finally left in a gloomy manner.

Zhao Jinxiu came back with water, and happened to see this scene.

She stood motionless in the doorway, her face expressionless.

Ever since she came here, she has always been in the category of being bullied. She had to do the work that several palace maids in the same courtyard didn't want to do, and even they drove her as a slave and maid, calling and scolding at every turn, and she was all injured.

Just like just now, when someone said that they wanted to take a bath, they ordered her to fetch water. The well was far away, and she had to carry a bucket back and forth several times to get the water for the bath.

If you slow down, you will be beaten and scolded again.

And all of this is thanks to this woman.

Thermometer Xuan.

When the lady in charge saw Zhao Jinxiu, she frowned and shouted, "What are you doing there?" Come and meet the princess! ”

Zhao Jinxiu did not react. The lady in charge of the house got angry, and directly grabbed Zhao Jinxiu's ears and brought her to Yixuan, and looked at Yixuan flatteringly: "Princess, the person you want to see is here." ”

Zhao Jinxiu covered her ears that were red, stared at Yixuan with hatred in her eyes, and stubbornly didn't say a word.

Yixuan chuckled lightly and said to the lady in charge, "You go out first." ”

With outsiders here, she can't talk to Zhao Jinxiu well.

The lady in charge agreed to go out.

Zhao Jinxiu glanced at Yixuan coldly, walked past her without saying a word, and entered the house. When I closed the door with my backhand, I felt a resistance, and when I looked up, I saw Shuang'er's hands supporting the door panel.

Zhao Jinxiu frowned, "What do you want?" ”

"Talk to you." Yi Xuan said.

Zhao Jinxiu sneered: "Talk? What is there to talk about between you and me? The princess should go home, be careful that she gets bad luck from me, and she will still rely on me when she gets sick when she goes back. ”

Yi Xuan's face turned cold, and the gaze that looked at Zhao Jinxiu also cooled, "Until now, you still don't admit that your child was harmed by you?" ”

"What about admitting it, and what about not recognizing it? Anyway, the child is dead. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to save your child. Zhao Jinxiu tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling weirdly.

The next moment, a loud slap had already landed on Zhao Jinxiu's left cheek.

The force was very great, half of Zhao Jinxiu's face was wooden, his mind was blank, and after a while, a hot burning sensation spread.

Yi Xuan's slap exhausted her strength, and her palm hurt.

She withdrew her hand without changing her face, her eyes condensed: "Keep your mouth clean, otherwise I mind letting these of your colleagues do it for me." ”

Zhao Jinxiu gritted her teeth tightly, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything.

Wen Yixuan is reserved and will not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, but if she lets the palace maids in the same courtyard do it, then there will be all kinds of tricks.

She didn't want to ask for hardship.

"I have a few questions, you'd better answer me honestly, and I won't embarrass you." Yixuan looked at Zhao Jinxiu: "Why do you want Jinghai to harm me?" ”

She has always wondered why she and Zhao Jinxiu have no grievances and no enmity, why Zhao Jinxiu has to harm her.

"Because I don't want you to give birth to that child." Zhao Jinxiu's answer was very succinct.

Yixuan didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Zhao Jinxiu turned his head sideways, looking impatient: "As long as you don't have children, the palace will not fall into your hands in the end, and Zhao Zhen can also naturally divorce you in the name of 'no heir'." In this way, after the concubine returns to the palace, with Hu Qingyun's assistance, the palace can be used by me. ”

"For you?" Yi Xuan laughed slowly, her eyes sharp: "You are a woman, what do you want the power of Yu Wangfu to do?" Who do you want to support? Duanwang or Zhao Jinyi? ”

Yi Xuan's words stabbed Zhao Jinxiu's sore spot, and she turned back vigilantly, "What do you mean?" ”

She had suffered enough alone, and she must not let her father and brother go to hell with her.

Yi Xuan was very satisfied with her reaction, and asked repeatedly: "Say, Duanwang or Zhao Jinyi?" ”

Zhao Jinxiu gritted her teeth, "Neither." What's wrong with women, I want to learn martial arts, can't I? ”

Yi Xuan ignored her, and her tone was light: "You know that your father and Zhao Jinyi are not the material for the emperor, and they still plan these things, even if they succeed, their emperor will not be able to do it soon." If my guess is correct, it's for your father. ”

Zhao Jinxiu's pupils shrank.

Yi Xuan took her expression into her eyes, smiled, and continued: "Zhao Jinyi doesn't have that mind at all, you as a sister won't know." As for your fatherβ€”"

Yixuan deliberately sold Guanzi, and sure enough, she saw Zhao Jinxiu's eyes becoming more and more nervous.

"Your father and the first emperor are the same generation, and Long Zhang Fengzi can be outstanding. The first emperor was suspicious, in order to protect himself, your father had no choice but to make a look of indisputable with the world, but he was actually unconvinced, right? ”

Zhao Jinxiu's face turned pale, her lips moved, and she denied: "No, why do you say this without evidence?" ”

Yi Xuan ignored her rebuttal and continued: "So Zhang Qianyuan's real master is your father. It's just that your strength is weak, and the concubine doesn't help you, and I keep persecuting. If you don't resist again, you will be executed by Dali Temple, and Zhang Qianyuan's case will also involve your father, so you have to change your plan. ”

"You originally planned to use the palace to bring down Zhao Yan, but in the end you were forced to be in a hurry, so you can only use Zhao Yan to bring down the palace. If one of these two loses, you will reap the benefits. ”

The last trace of blood on Zhao Jinxiu's lips also faded, her eyes were hollow, and she couldn't say a word.

Obviously, she thought that Zhang Qianyuan's stabbing of Zhao Zhen in prison would make everyone think that Zhang Qianyuan's master was Zhao Yan. No one will look at Daddy.

So, even if he loses, at least Daddy won't be implicated.

But I didn't expect it......

Wen Yixuan saw through everything.

"There is another thing, the night when the prince escaped from the dungeon of Nanyuan, someone put a dark arrow on the tree, did you do it?"

At that time, Zhao Zhen and General Kong had already made a truce and retreated with their troops, and it was impossible to arrange another assassin to hide in a tree. So, who else wants Zhao Zhen to die?

Zhao Jinxiu, or rather, Duanwang.

Yi Xuan didn't know which of them did it.

Zhao Jinxiu admitted: "It's me." ”

"Really?" Yixuan will be suspicious: "Do you want to take the blame for King Duan?" ”

Zhao Jinxiu sneered: "I'll tell you honestly, everything is planned by me alone, and my father doesn't know anything." Besides, he can't do such a thing as a secret arrow hurting people. ”
