Miao Li was slightly surprised, Zhou Shuxuan was disgusted with Xia's hair, and it was very likely that he was the enemy who broke his leg, and he actually said that he didn't want to kill her.

Miao Li thought about the reason in her heart, and there was only one possibility for picking and choosing.

"The prince wants the Xia clan to make gunpowder?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Shuxuan's eyes, he raised a bunch of staff, all of whom were outstanding. But when it comes to figuring out his mind, no one can match her.

"Yes, now in front of the two armies, the power of gunpowder is obvious to all. But now the gunpowder is not very stable, and it mostly injures our soldiers. If Xia really has this talent...... "It's not impossible to spare her life."

If he wants to be an emperor in the future, he can't help but want to march and fight.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuxuan clenched his fists. The vicious woman broke one of his legs, and even if she was allowed to live, she would be worse off than dead.

At this time, those who went to see the gunpowder turned out in the Xia courtyard returned.

"Back to the prince, the villains have checked repeatedly, and the gunpowder in the princess's courtyard does ignite as soon as it is thrown, and it has not been seen elsewhere."

With that, he handed over another thing. Miao Li looked very familiar, as if it was Xia Lerou who threw her at that time.

Peeling back the outer paper, some small black particles were scattered outside, exactly the same as the ones she had picked up in the racecourse that day.

In this way, without more evidence, Xia's murder of Zhou Shuxuan is already a certainty, and Zhou Shuxuan, who still wants to spare Xia's life, has red eyes at this time. He slammed the table and swept the thing that was in his hand to the ground. In an instant, everything within Zhou Shuxuan's reach suffered.

Poisonous woman!

Eating him and using him, his nominal wife actually colluded with outsiders to murder him, ruining all his future. He was now eager to peel off Xia's skin, eat her flesh, and break her into thousands of pieces.

Miao Li made a look, asked the person who was kneeling on the ground to go out, and squatted down to pick up the thing that Zhou Shuxuan pushed on the ground.

The more Zhou Shuxuan thought about it, the more angry he became, the green tendons on the back of his hands clenched his fists, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and say, "Get up, change clothes for this king!" ”

The second watch drum has been beaten on the Qiao Tower, and it is late at night, and he must enter the palace if he wants to change his clothes now.

Miaoli not only did not get up, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The prince must not." The New Year is getting closer and closer, and the crown prince has not yet filled the vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Households, and the emperor is furious. The prince went to talk about the Xia family at this time, not only may not get the desired effect, but it is also very likely to anger the emperor, so it is better to wait until the next year. ”

was a little bit calmed down by her words, Zhou Shuxuan calmed down.

It was he who was so red-eyed by hatred that he didn't think about it that much.

Zhou Shuxuan calmed down, but the brightly lit Xia Mansion was not very calm. Father Xia lit the lamp and fought all night, racking his brains and finally came up with an idea to strike first.

Taking advantage of the fact that the swelling on Xia's face had not disappeared, he went to the emperor to tell Zhou Shuxuan. Zhou Shuxuan may not dare to say what happened before, after all, those things are really not on the table. The emperor is biased again, in such a short period of time, Zhou Shuxuan may not have obtained conclusive evidence.

And he heard that the current affairs of the household department were pushed out by Zhou Shuxuan, and the prince did not do a good job, so the emperor will inevitably not blame Zhou Shuxuan, just right. Anyway, with a mouth, no matter how you can say, instead of waiting for Zhou Shuxuan to sue the emperor for divorce, it is better for them to take the initiative to attack.

It was really helpless to completely tear his face with Zhou Shuxuan, he was more optimistic about Zhou Shuxuan that day than his ability and virtue, as long as the emperor did not die for a day, Zhou Shuxuan would have a chance.

But his daughter is really confused!

Things have come to this point, and he has no chance to stand in line, so he can only do his best to keep the entire Xia family. With a fight against the water, there may be a little chance to survive.

Father Xia glanced out the window, the black cloth covering the sky seemed to have been lifted by someone, revealing a faint light, and the sky was almost dawn.

He put on his official uniform in front of the bronze mirror, and when he put on his hat, he found that there were many gray hairs on his sideburns overnight. He is a lot older, and he has debts for his children that he has to pay off.

Father Xia and Xia talked about their plans, and Xia has no idea now. But I heard Father Xia say that the court complaint might be able to keep her position as the princess, so he agreed. As long as she is still by Zhou Shuxuan's side for a day, she can still help that person a little.

After yesterday's quarrel, the atmosphere between the two is still very heavy. In addition, Xia has always felt that Father Xia forced her to marry Zhou Shuxuan for the sake of glory and wealth, otherwise she would not be here today. So from leaving the house to getting on the sedan chair, the two didn't say a word.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, and Father Xia got off the sedan chair and looked up at the high palace gate, standing with his hands behind his back, as if talking to himself, "I have been an official for decades, for fame and wealth, and for my family and country, I have entered and exited this palace gate hundreds of times, and it is the first time I have done something wrong for my daughter." ”

Xia Shi suddenly couldn't cry when he heard it, and at this time he realized that he had misunderstood Father Xia for so many years. She broke into such a big disaster, and in the end, only her father could control her. Xia cried and knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Xia's father.

However, she doesn't feel like she's doing anything wrong. The most wrong thing she did was that she just fell in love with someone she got it.

Father Xia stretched out his hand to hug her, and said with a little choked up, "Princess, please get up." ”

Thinking back then, he shouldn't have asked her to marry any prince for any status and wealth, it was better for her to marry an ordinary person that day, but she had a dull life, and her father and son were just that. Although there is no glory and wealth, at least it will not cause such a big disaster.

The two parted ways at the palace gate, and the Xia family was a female dependent, so they couldn't see the emperor directly. Zhou Shuxuan's mother is no longer alive, and the Xia family can only go to her aunt, Concubine De in the palace. Concubine De has been in the palace for many years and is very respected by the emperor.

A few steps to Yuqing Palace, the Xia family kowtowed in a proper manner, buried his head and did not raise it, pretending to be extremely aggrieved.

She hadn't entered the palace for a long time, and Concubine De really missed her a little. walked over and hugged her, "Come on, the family doesn't have such big rules, let my aunt see, how do I feel like you've gained weight?" ”

Xia Shi slowly raised her head, she didn't apply any fat powder today, and her face was shockingly blue. Where is the gain of weight, it is because yesterday's swelling has not gone away.
