Chapter 15: Bringing Disaster to the Family
Miaoli knelt straight on the ground again, "If the slave has done something wrong, please ask the prince to make it clear, please don't close the door and disappear." ”。
There was nothing big about it, but Zhou Shuxuan just didn't explain, and shouted outside in a loud voice, "Wei Hai." ”
There was finally movement inside, Wei Hai didn't wait for a moment, pushed the door and entered, "Lord Wang." ”
"Let the things that have gone beyond the limit be put away, and the rest will be left as they are. The king was tired, so he pushed the king back. ”
I didn't look at Miaoli from beginning to end, and she knelt as long as she liked, anyway, she knelt well.
It had been a long time since the man had been gone before Miao Li got up from the ground. Zhou Shuxuan didn't seem to want to pay attention to her again, which was even more difficult than the women in the concubine's courtyard. Holding his cold knees back to the courtyard, Zhou Shuxuan was sitting at the door, as if watching the snow, and asked people to close the door before she could give a salute.
The cold wind of these three or nine days seemed to blow into her heart, and Miao Li was a little skeptical that she had made the right choice in the first place.
On the other side of the capital, after Xia's father dragged the Xia family into the mansion. The atmosphere in the Xia Mansion became delicate, and a princess in the hall became like this, with a few slap prints looming on her face, like a madwoman who had just returned from a fight.
A trace of disgust appeared on Mrs. Xia's always amiable face, and she said bitterly: "Where do you still have a beautiful lady?" ”
Xia Shi brushed the emanation in his ears and smiled miserably. She doesn't even want her life today, and she doesn't care about her image.
Xia Lerou, who was standing behind Mrs. Xia, felt a little guilty when she saw her like this, and said timidly: "Sister, did I use artillery to scare that vixen prince to do this to you." ”
Xia was still angry with her for stealing away from her, but he was about to go crazy when he heard her words, so he rushed over and grabbed her shoulder, "What kind of artillery fight?" Didn't I tell you not to take out the yard to play? ”
Or to Miaoli, that woman is Zhou Shuxuan's new favorite, and it is very likely that she will go back and talk to Zhou Shuxuan when she sees something fresh. As soon as Zhou Shuxuan knew, some things couldn't be contained.
Xia Lerou was frightened, and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm helping my sister to avenge me, didn't my sister say that Prince Qin has a new favorite recently?" I used artillery to scare her. ”
Xia said that King Qin's new favorite was outstanding, and as soon as she saw it, Miao Li knew that it was her, and Xia Lerou couldn't see a woman who looked better than her, saying that it was to avenge Xia, and it was more because of the imbalance in her own heart.
Xia Shi felt that something was wrong, Zhou Shuxuan's attitude today was really strange, he just spoke coldly to her in the past, and he still saved her some face. It's almost time to kill her today, could he have guessed the gunpowder thing?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, a cold sweat broke out on Xia's back, and he rounded a big mouth and slapped it hard, causing Xia Lerou to fall to the ground.
"I want you to help me fight for favor? Did you kill me? She didn't care who Zhou Shuxuan favored, as long as there was the position of Princess Zhou Shuxuan, it was enough.
Mrs. Xia protected Xia Lerou in her arms from the bottom of her heart, and her face was dyed with a little anger, she had been knowledgeable all her life, how could she teach such a daughter.
"Rou'er is still young, what are you doing beating her? She's doing it for your own good, too. ”
Xia was like a madman, and laughed a few times at the sky, "For my good, she is going to kill me." "If Zhou Shuxuan really knows, according to his ruthlessness today, I'm afraid the Xia family will also be implicated.
Mrs. Xia looked at her crazy appearance, and she hated it even more, blindly protecting her little daughter, "She's just a child, isn't she just a few cannonballs?" How much trouble can it get? ”
Xia Shi looked around at the people in the room, with an abnormal smile on his face, "It's not a big disaster, it's just that the entire Xia family has to bury me." ”
I didn't expect such a big disaster, before Father Xia went out, he thought that it was just a wife and concubine competing for favor before he was released and was humiliated by Zhou Shuxuan, and he was still regretting that he shouldn't have taken care of the affairs of the back house, but at this time he was a little glad that he went. At least knowing Zhou Shuxuan's attitude, Father Xia was also scared in his heart.
Although he broke his leg and had no hope of inheriting the unification, he was also a prince, and he was still a prince with good means.
Father Xia waved his hand to let Mrs. Xia and Xia Lerou go out, and only the father and daughter were left in the house, and asked Xia with a gloomy face: "What is going on?" ”
Xia sat on the chair on the side, staring blankly ahead, as if the time had returned to March ago.
That day, she went to the Big Buddha Temple to burn incense and met that person again. It's been three years, and they haven't had any contact with him except for the occasional meeting at the palace banquet.
I thought that the man was a passing eye when she saw her, after all, the man didn't have a superfluous look when he saw her. Who wants to watch three watches in the middle of the night, there was silence in the Buddhist courtyard, and the person actually knocked on the door of her meditation room.
He said that Zhou Shuxuan was too popular, and he was afraid that he would steal his position.
Just one sentence was enough to make her go to the trouble for it, even if he didn't promise her anything.
In the Buddhist temple, she came up with a plan that she thought she could hide from the world. After three months of repeated trials, she finally made gunpowder that could be exploded without ignition, and then handed it to the man.
She didn't think about the day when something would be revealed, and now, death was almost at hand, and she didn't regret it.
Father Xia listened to her explain the reason, just like she did just now, raised his hand and gave her a big mouth, trembling with anger, "You put the entire family in dire straits, have you ever thought about your parents, brother and sister before you do things?" ”
Murdering the prince is a major crime of the Nine Clans.
Xia covered his face and looked up at Xia's father with tears in his eyes, "My father didn't think about his daughter back then, so why should he ask his daughter to think about her father?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan said that it was the marriage decree that she shamelessly begged the emperor, but she was wronged, and it was the marriage decree that Xia's father asked the emperor for.
At that time, the man's wife was already decided, and it was not her. Father Xia saw that she wanted to lower her status and make that person small, so he asked the emperor for a marriage decree and married her to Zhou Shuxuan as the princess.
What will happen to a reluctant marriage? She didn't know why Zhou Shuxuan hated her so much before, but only now did she understand a little, it turned out that he always knew who she was in her heart.
Father Xia was angry and shouted at her regardless of his image, "Did you harm your father back then?" is also a prince, and King Qin is no worse than that person. It is impossible to leave the main wife without doing it to make a side room. If you want the respect of the mother of the country, the King of Qin, who did not break his leg that day, has even greater hope. ”
Back then, he was also confused for a while, thinking that he had climbed a high branch and let that person come to him. Who would think that people would get bored after only three or two days of work, and marry someone else's daughter in a blink of an eye.
Xia Shi cried and laughed, covered his face and said, "No matter how good King Qin is, he is just an ordinary man in the world, how can he have a sleeve of his clothes?" ”
She doesn't want to be the queen mother of the country, as long as she has a place next to that person, it is enough.
Father Xia was even more angry when he saw her stupid appearance, and now the entire Xia family is going to be in danger, who has the strength to care about her children's affairs. In the end, it was his own daughter, he was beaten and beaten, he couldn't do anything more, he glared at her and walked away.
The chickens and dogs are jumping on the Xia family's side, and the Qin Wangfu is not at peace.
Zhou Shuxuan found a few gunpowder experts in his group of staff to see the things that were turned out in the Xia family's courtyard, and if he really wanted to convict people, the evidence must be conclusive.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to see Miaoli, and Miaoli was restless in the house. People have a love of meeting, Zhou Shuxuan doesn't want to see her at all now, and he will definitely not help her in the future.
But the two times she didn't see her were confused and couldn't cope. Walking around the house, I suddenly saw a small box on the shelf. That was the first time she met Xia, and Xia asked her to bring Zhou Shuxuan's incense. She forgot about it for a while, and didn't give Zhou Shuxuan. Maybe you can go to him with this.
I rushed to the door of the study, but I couldn't take a step anymore. Now that Zhou Shuxuan is angry with Xia, she takes Xia's things to him, and Zhou Shuxuan will be even more angry.
The people inside found her, and Zhou Shuxuan's deep voice came, "Come in." ”
Miao Lihuan happily pushed the door in, as long as she was willing to speak, everything would be fine.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't see her rare smile, and his attention was all on the ancient books. He flipped through a lot of books, but he didn't see any gunpowder that could be ignited without lighting it, but Xia had it there.
He asked people to rummage through Xia's house again, and found countless gunpowder from it, which really contained the cannon that Miao Li said would explode if he threw it. But...... Xia's first class of women, how did she come out?
There was no order to let her in, but her eyebrows were furrowed, Miao Li stood up from the ground and asked boldly, "What is the prince thinking?" ”
It seemed that nothing happened in the afternoon, and Zhou Shuxuan naturally replied, "This king is wondering how the Xia family made these things." ”
I'm afraid this can only be asked by Xia.
"The prince doesn't have to care how she did it, having those things found is enough to divorce the princess." even let the Xia family be beheaded. Those things are not available anywhere else, only Xia's. There is no sin that can add some sin, let alone the evidence is conclusive.
Zhou Shuxuan closed the book, rubbed his temples, sighed and said, "This king knows." ”
"Then why is the prince like this?"
Zhou Shuxuan said in a firm tone: "This king doesn't want to kill her!" ”
