Chapter 155: Xingping's Death
The last time I saw Xingping was two months ago, and she was five months pregnant, her face was haggard, and her body was a lot thinner.
Now seven months pregnant, Xingping's body is as thin as a willow, and her high bulging abdomen makes it difficult for her to walk.
Overnight, the princess was left behind, and the bizarre pregnancy was rumored to be ups and downs. If this woman is really crazy, maybe she can feel better! Lin Qianxue said and walked towards Xia Qian.
Xia Qian's eyes fell on Xingping's back and didn't answer the other party's words.
Although Xingping in the late stage of pregnancy was faltering, her crazy appearance was really terrifying, because the noble guards only dared to follow and persuade, and no one dared to touch her.
A team of personal guards walked from opposite them, standing at the back of Lu Jingheng with a golden armor, his white face was not shocked.
Xia Qian's gaze fell on him, and she looked at every movement and expression on his lips seriously.
At this distance, she couldn't hear his conversation, as long as she could observe it through lip talk.
Lu Jingheng looked at Xingping from a distance across the guards in front of him, the corners of his lips moved, and he calmly spit out five words: "Send the princess back home!" β
The princess Jin Zhi Yuye, no matter how innocent the fetus in her belly is, she is also a relative of the emperor, whether it is a personal soldier or a palace guard, she knows that Mingzhe protects herself, and no one dares to touch her.
Lu Jingheng took two steps forward and glanced at the people beside him, those few personal soldiers were the henchmen he had cultivated single-handedly. Several people looked at each other, approaching Xingping from all directions.
Xingping looked at them in a daze, her hands instinctively protected the fetus in her womb, and when she saw Lu Jingheng, her whole person was even more excited: "What they said is not true, right?" That's our kids, it's the two of us! β
Lu Jingheng's gaze slid over her face, fell on a few pro-soldiers beside her, and ordered unhurriedly: "The princess is delirious, send her back to the Horse Mansion to recuperate!" β
"No, I'm not crazy! You tell them that the rumors are false, they are all false! There was a hint of begging in Xingping's pale words.
Lu Jingheng was silent for a moment, stepped forward and stopped when he was three meters away from her, stretched out a hand and said, "Xingping, calm down, I'll send you back!" β
"Lu Jinghengβ"
Xingping's heart-rending roar spread through the air, anger, despair, hatred...... It's hard to tell which emotion is in the mainstream.
"On that day, it was obviously you and the imperial brother who accompanied me, why didn't you stand up and clarify? Child...... Is the child yours or not? β
She said sadly, looking at him with pleading eyes, hoping that he would give her a definite answer, or help her clarify the innocence that she was not sure about.
However, in front of so many people, Lu Jing Hengzhi looked at her quietly and didn't say a word.
Xingping desperately shook off the man who was holding her, staggered forward and ran two steps, his feet slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Whether it was a soldier or a palace guard, they couldn't help but step forward on their own, but no one dared to go up to help.
Lu Jingheng paused, and as soon as he stepped forward to help her stand up, Xingping pushed him violently and ran away again.
This time, her heart was more floating, her feet were more chaotic, and after falling, her whole body rolled on the ground, and her purple clothes were all stained with muddy water.
Xia Qian saw blood oozing from her fuchsia dress, turned around and wanted to go downstairs, but was pulled back by Lin Qianxue.
"At this juncture, you must not cause trouble! This scene was already set when she was pregnant, and the fault was that she shouldn't be so strong and domineering, and the injured Lu family had no face. The Lu family seems to be as gentle and deceitful as rabbits, but the city is very deep, and it is even more vicious than a snake and scorpion. Xingping** thing, ten likely** was designed by someone, if this child is gone, it will be a relief for her! β
"Design? Are you saying that Xingping** was designed by Lu Jingheng? Xia Qian looked at Lin Qianxue in disbelief.
Lin Qianxue looked out of the window coldly, and sneered: "The princess is arrogant and domineering, riding on the head of the Lu family for a whole year, when something happened at that time, Lu Jingheng and Zilan accompanied her, and it was not impossible for him to arrange these things behind Zilan's back." It's a pity that there is no evidence, and Zilan is just guessing! β
When Xia Qian looked at the street again, a tall and straight figure came into her eyes.
The man stepped forward quickly and picked up Xingping, who was full of muddy water, without hesitation: "I'll send you back!" β
Xingping looked at the person who came, and it seemed that it took a long time to react.
Because they had their backs to Xia Qian, Xia Qian couldn't see the words on her lips, only to see her reach out suddenly, touch Huo Zun's face, and then grab his hair tightly.
Lin Qianxue looked at Huo Zun and Xingping, and sighed lightly, I don't know if she was complaining about Huo Zun or Xingping's worthlessness: "Hair, only here is soft." It's been almost seven years, and he's as hard and cold as armor on her body! β
When Huo Zun proposed to send Xingping back again, the other party bit his neck with all his strength, and Xingping had already lost his breath when he let go.
As for the cause of death, some people said that they were angry, some said that they were born prematurely and hemorrhage, and some said that it was suicide. Only Lin Qianxue said that the emperor gave medicine to Xingping's diet in order to take care of the royal face.
For a while, the tragic death of the princess on the street and the fact that she was touched by bandits more than half a year ago were spreading, but the action before her death pushed Huo Zun to the cusp.
No one cares about the cause of Xingping's death, because everyone is more willing to care about her encounter with bandits and her emotional entanglement with Huo Zun in the past few years.
Xingping's death cast a layer of haze on the entire palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion cried earth-shatteringly, the queen couldn't afford to be sick, Lu Jingheng also fell ill, Huo Zun stayed in the imperial tomb for seven days and seven nights, and closed the door for three days after returning to the Wanqi camp.
In the end, no one was angry, and he also rewarded the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Young lady, the young master hasn't been to the teahouse for ten days, do you want to go and have a look?" Qingyue asked cautiously.
Xia Qian looked at the place where Xingping died tragically not long ago, and replied softly: "When the princess was alive, he didn't look at her much, and he just left at the moment, let him think about it more, and it is normal to accompany her." It's better not to bother. β
"Killing his daughter with his own hands, the emperor should be sadder than anyone else at this moment. It's better not to disturb your young master, let the emperor know that he has a soft fragrance in his arms these days, and I am afraid that a few of you will also be implicated! Lin Qianxue said casually, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
The scene before Xingping's death resurfaced in Xia Qian's mind: she suddenly struggled to sit up from Huo Zun's arms, biting his neck with her last breath, leaving a red blood mark on his neck.
How much did she know before she died?
Did he deliberately pretend to be sick to visit the Qinglou to run a gambling house in order to avoid her?
Is there any thing where he pretended to be drunk and promiscuous to marry himself in order to escape marriage?
These, Xia Qian does not know.
"That tooth mark must be deep! Maybe it's because of deep love, or maybe it's hateful, but no matter what kind of mood, dying in his arms, I think she is always at ease! This kind of death is a bit cruel to Huo Zun, but it can make him remember her for a lifetime. Xia Qian said seriously.
Lin Qianxue looked at her with a little surprise in her eyes, and said with a smile: "She used to treat you so much, but she didn't want to make you miss it after death!" β
"That was a long time ago, and she and I have been friends for a long time - if she doesn't mind if I am humble!" Xia Qian raised her eyes to look at the sky and said with a chuckle.
A few days later, Lin Qianxue came with the news, saying that the queen was seriously ill and couldn't survive and followed Xingping.
