Chapter 256: Killing
Shen Huashan looked at the prince's innocent and sincere eyes, and only felt that something "clicked" fell in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. When he turned around, he couldn't help but stumble twice. Immediately, he asked Ling Yungao to rush to the Shaofu Supervisor, and asked him to get back the "Gui'an Tu", and he must not let the Shaofu Supervisor file it.
Fortunately, Ling Yungao was young and had long legs, so he was able to recover "Gui'an Tu" before the young government supervisor put pen to paper. Subsequently, the prince sent this "Gui'an Tu" to Zichen Hall with Xia Qi, who was bound, and asked Emperor Changtai for guilt, saying: "Erchen sent Xia Qi to search for "Gui'an Tu", just to send it to his father. Unexpectedly, because of personal grudges, this servant actually caused the son-in-law to have a flesh-and-blood gap with his father, and asked his father to forgive the son-in-law......"
Emperor Changtai looked at the prince's slightly flustered but completely similar face to himself, and unconsciously softened. He asked the prince to get up, then looked at Xia Qi who was tied up and stuffed with his mouth, and said flatly: "Such a slave really deserves to be killed!" ”
As soon as Emperor Changtai's words fell, Xia Qi's already dejected face turned like ashes, and Zhang Sheng, who was slightly bent in front of Emperor Changtai and lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth.
At this time, Zhang Sheng suddenly remembered what those young officials in Jixian Hall often said, "If you don't ask for anything, you will be at ease, and if you don't act rashly, you will be safe." This is really true. Xia Qi asked for and did too much, how could he not die?
Immediately, Xia Qi was killed by the rod for the crime of "deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates", and the inner servants around the prince were replaced. It has been less than a year since the East Palace was reopened, and the inner servants around the prince have changed several times. This time, Concubine Rong sent Tang Mi, the most useful chamberlain of Zhong Cui Palace, to the East Palace, but she didn't know how long he could stay in the East Palace.
When Xia Qi was killed by the rod, the prince insisted on watching the execution from the sidelines. Everyone in the East Palace thought that the prince hated Xia Qi, and he had to watch Xia Qi die to calm his heart. Even Ling Yungao took back the persuasion of "bloody, I'm afraid the prince doesn't like it".
The prince looked at Xia Qi who was bound. watched him being pushed onto the bench by the prison attendants, watched him being beaten down by the iron-clad chestnut woodman, and watched his back gradually ooze blood. Watch as the blood droplets drip down the bench. Finally, I watched his breath be weak until he finally had no breath.
Then the executioner stopped and replied to the prince.
During the whole process, the prince did not move for a moment, and there was no expression on his face. It wasn't until he saw Xia Qi being killed with a cane that he finally knew that it was because of his sentence that he wanted "Gui'an Tu", and Xia Qi died. Until this time. He finally realized that he was no longer the twelve princes of the prince's office.
Now, he is the master of the East Palace. He is the prince of the country, and he is the prince of Dayong!
The moment he saw Xia Qi breathe, the prince's heart was suddenly shaken, and the past and present that he had always felt confused seemed to be clearly laid out in front of him.
Ichigo. One empowerment.
Just like when Shen Yule realized what was the avenue of Yi in Yiju, just like when Shen Ning knew what it meant to be "the breeze blowing on the hills and the moon shining on the river" by Xianghu Lake, the prince suddenly realized.
Enlightenment with the way of killing.
Dayong Prince Shangguan Jing'an, at this moment. I finally know who I am.
"Drag it off......" After a moment of silence, the prince said this, and there was no panic in his voice, but a composure, a composure that was different from usual.
I don't know why, Ling Yungao, who was waiting on the side, listened to the prince's short words, and felt a little strange in his heart, and couldn't help but want to shiver. Perhaps, it's almost December, and it's cold. Ling Yungao thought so.
As soon as Xia Qi died, the East Palace seemed to be much quieter, and Tang Mi, the new head of the chamberlain, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw that everything was in order in the East Palace. The situation in the East Palace is much better than he imagined, and the crown prince is not as wanton and unprovoked as the rumors, it seems that it will not be too bad to come to the East Palace by himself.
Those who had the same idea as Tang Mi were also the officials of the Zhan Mansion. They were surprised to find that the prince had become knowledgeable and studious, and when they explained the affairs of the court, the prince listened attentively, and his serious appearance made the officials of the Zhan Mansion amazed in their hearts.
"Those who are kings should cultivate the way of officials, and do not say anything about it...... The heavens have constant signs, the earth has constant shapes, and people have regular rituals. One set without changing, this is called the three constants. At the same time, the way of the king is also ......" In the dormitory of the East Palace, the prince silently recited these words, and his face, which was very similar to Emperor Changtai, showed a smile at this moment.
If Zhang Sheng could see the prince's smile, he would definitely be amazed again and again, because this smile was exactly the same as Emperor Changtai more than forty years ago!
At this moment, Shen Ning, who was in Qingzhu Ju, didn't know that the prince was smiling. She flipped through the recent posts sent by Qiu Shu earlier, and asked casually, "Who else received this post?" ”
"The eldest granddaughter of Lord Si Nongqing Lei, the eldest granddaughter of Lord Hongluqing Mu, and the eldest granddaughter of the Xue family, the supervisor of the Shaofu Mansion......" Qiu Shu replied quickly. She knew that her master would ask about this, and she had memorized the list carefully.
The post that Shen Ning's master and servant said was a post from the prospective crown princess Zuo Shan to Shen Ning, and the content of the post was to invite Shen Ning to Zuo's house to attend the banquet set up by Zuo Shan three days later, as for why the banquet was set up, the post did not explain.
Even if the post didn't explain it, Shen Ning knew why this banquet was set up. The day of the prince's wedding is coming, and the prospective princess is inviting her friends to feast and drink together before entering the East Palace. This is the consistent practice of the girl who is about to marry Jingzhao. It's just that the quasi-crown princess has a slightly different banquet, one is to talk about the old feelings, and the other is to unite forces.
These boudoir friends, in Shen Ning's view, are a kind of force. These girls' families are not much different in age from the prospective princesses, and they are the eldest granddaughters of important ministers in the court, so it can be seen that they will also be the eldest daughters-in-law of courtiers in the future, and they will be the grandmothers of the family in the future. These girls and the forces behind them are what Shen Ning values.
Now that the prospective crown princess is invited, Shen Ning also wants to see what kind of temperament these precious girls are. It is also inconceivable that since Shen Ning returned to Jingzhao with Shen Zejing, he has not participated in several such boudoir gatherings. I only vaguely remember that Princess Yong Chen Wanrou had invited her to a banquet, as well as the lord of Rongping and Princess Zheng Shaoyi. These seem to be yesterday's things, but in an instant, they are no longer in Jingzhao.
A little sigh, but no regrets. After a lifetime, Shen Ning doesn't feel that these boudoir friendships are indispensable in life, yes, of course it's good, no, it's not a big problem. What she thinks and thinks is to keep her family safe, and she doesn't have much energy left.
Three days later, Shen Ning took Qiu Ge and came to Zuo's house. The Shilang Mansion under the door is not on Jingtai Street, but on Yongfu Street next to Shifu Street, not far from the Shen family. At this short distance, Shen Ning still took a carriage and did the etiquette to the fullest.
When Shen Ning got out of the carriage, there were already maidservants of the Zuo family waiting. Although Shen Ning and Zuo Shan do not have a personal relationship, and the Shen family and the Zuo family are not too familiar, it doesn't matter, because of the prince, the two families can pretend to be very familiar. Zuo Shan gave Shen Ning a post for this reason. How could the crown princess's maiden family not be familiar with the crown prince Zhan's family? In the future, the two will work together.
The maidservant of the Zuo family was very humble, but the stunned surprise that flashed on her face did not escape Shen Ning's eyes. Shen Ning knew why she was so stunned, a nineteen-year-old girl who was still in the boudoir was rare in Jingzhao, right? When Shen Ning followed the maid of the Zuo family to Zuo Shan's "Qifeng Courtyard", she felt that she was old.
The prospective crown princess Zuo Shan is only fifteen years old, just past the age of Jilu, and she is a girl who is good friends with her, and they are all about the same age. There are even younger, only twelve years old. At the age of twelve, it was when I was just reborn.
"Sister Shen, please take a seat. Chunxi, hurry up and serve tea to Sister Shen. Seeing Shen Ning coming, Zuo Shan stood up with a friendly smile on her face, as if she was a close friend with Shen Ning. She knew from her grandfather that this Shen Ning of the Shen family was a person who was going to marry into the Qingping Marquis Mansion, and she must not be underestimated.
Shen Ning also called "Sister Zuo" very enthusiastically, Zuo Shan did not enter the East Palace for a day, and she would not dare to accept the title of the crown princess for a day. Qiu Ge, who followed behind Shen Ning with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, smiled unkindly when he heard the name "Chunxi", Chunxi, is it the maid from the same township who got Miss Mi's secret news?
Shen Ning sat down, looked at these immature little girls, and thought secretly in his heart, these are the wives of important ministers in the future of Dayong? She tried to remember if there were one or two of these girls who she knew well in her previous life.
The result is not right at all, and I can't imagine who these little girls will fall in.
It didn't take long for Shen Ning's full attention to fall on the prospective crown princess Zuo Shan. She had to admit that Emperor Changtai and Concubine Rong finally chose Zuo Shan, not just because of the He family's incident. Zuo Shan looks dignified, needless to say, what surprised Shen Ning was that there was a unique aura in this dignified. What this unique aura was, Shen Ning couldn't describe it for a while.
Until, the little maid who came up with the tea slipped on the soles of her feet for some reason, and fell down in front of many girls, and the tray of tea in her hand also flew out, just falling on Zuo Shan's footsteps, "Bang", the teacup was broken, and the tea flowed to the ground.
At the moment when the teacup shattered, Zuo Shan raised her eyebrows, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her lips tightened, but there was no sign of anger on her face. She only glanced at the little maid, then waved her hand and said, "Go down." Then he laughed: "It's not for the sisters to accompany you, the next person has no form, but I laughed." ”
Shen Ning followed all the little girls and said "Don't dare, don't dare", but her heart was extremely awe-inspiring: at that moment just now, she finally knew what the unique aura of the prospective princess's face was, it turned out to be a killing aura!
Shen Ning believes that he will never be mistaken, that little maid will definitely die!
