Chapter 183: The Long Night

On the same night, the crown princess lived alone as usual.

The mountain breeze passed under the porch, occasionally through the half-hidden window, and blew a string of wind chimes in the tent with a crisp sound. The maid knelt on the edge of the couch and slowly plucked the pomegranate.

The pomegranate seeds, which are as red as agate, fall into the sweet white glaze 'color' folded dish, and the pomegranate juice oozing out is shockingly red, as if it is bubbling blood, under the candle flame, it is strangely tight.

The fingertips of the crown princess are thicker than this blood 'color', and the impatiens 'flower' juice that is only wiped during the day is selected to select the reddest 'flower' petals when they are in full bloom, each petal is selected by the 'female' and 'fine' hearts, and the 'color' luster strives to be no different, and the alum is mashed, and the embroidery 'flower' needle is very patient little by little on the nails.

After drying up, peel off - it's not over, just like this, how can the 'gorgeous' petals be dyed with orange, and they have to be dyed several times before they have the effect of dripping blood when they hang down.

The impatiens 'flower' is not a rare object, and the same is true of alum, and there is nothing that the little lady in the market can't dye. It's just that not everyone has this kung fu, such as the handmaiden who digs pomegranates, the princess's hands are dyed by her personally, but she herself has ten fingers.

The crown princess pinched an autumn pear that had been cellared last year, and the skin of the autumn fragrance 'color' was pinched out, and the snow-white pear 'flesh' set off the blood red of her fingertips more and more 'gorgeous' and dazzling, so dazzling that there was a feeling of sharp 'dew'.

However, the crown princess's voice was lazy: "I'm afraid it's just these days?" ”

"Niangniang mean Dongyi Mountain?" The 'woman' concentrated on digging the pomegranate and said, "If there is no accident, I am afraid that I am there to persuade Zhong Chongsheng!" "Knowing that although the king of Zhending didn't go this time, but he had a stake, the 'girl' slowed down the action of digging pomegranates, and comforted him distractedly, "Zhong Chongsheng is already old, and I don't think there will be any more courage to be an enemy of my Da Liang!" Don't worry, the angel will be able to succeed in this trip and raise my great cool national prestige! ”

Da Liang's national prestige is naturally not the crown princess's most concerned now, so the envoy 'girl' said, "At that time, Lu Ji's cheap seed will definitely come back with a disgraced face, but looking at our county king, his power is getting stronger and stronger!" At that time, I still don't know whether the 'color' of the mother and son's face will be green or gray? The maid thinks it's still green, and it can live up to its name in the end. ”

"Why should Zhong Chongsheng be afraid?" The joke in the last sentence made the princess smile faintly, but the princess obviously didn't put the 'spirit' on the joke, and continued, "What I'm worried about is the Marquis of Yongcheng!" ”

The 'girl' asked in surprise: "Niangniang is talking about the Marquis of Yongcheng?" But the Marquis of Yongcheng has been helping our county king for many years! ”

"What a fool, how could I doubt the Marquis of Yongcheng's loyalty to Feng Nu?" The crown princess burst out laughing, but her eyes were very solemn, "What I'm talking about is Tang San's hand on the Marquis of Yongcheng...... I don't know if the Marquis of Yongcheng can completely avoid this disaster and come back safely! ”

The 'female' was taken aback, and by mistake she dropped the remaining half of the pomegranate on her skirt, stood up and said, "Tang San is so bold!" Empress! How can this not be told to the eldest princess of Ji Yang? ”

"Sit down, sit down!" The crown princess frowned and said, "Look at the skirt and the scarf." ”

"Mother, what do you care about the maid's skirt now? That, the servant went back to wash! The 'girl' said in a panic, "Marquis of Yongcheng? If something happens to the Marquis of Yongcheng, the eldest princess can still survive now?! When the time comes, the king of the county will ...... Yes! Slave got it! Tang San and them...... They just want Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to be unable to hold on?! ”

"They just can't make it through my grandmother!" In the Danbao Pavilion, the lights outside the tent were like beans, dimly shining in, Zhuo Zhaojie looked sideways at the silhouette of her husband, listened to him close his eyes, and said slowly.

Zhuo Zhaojie snorted and said, "Lu Ji deliberately went to provoke the crown princess and the queen mother before, in order to deal with her father?" What exactly do they want to do in the Western Regions? You still say that they want to use their father to harm their grandmother? They...... Do they want to get rid of the arm of King Zhending first? ”

Ning Shaobi smiled silently and said lightly: "Zhaojie thinks of them too kindly. He opened his eyes, looked at the top of the tent, and said without any emotion, "Something happened to Dafang last year, although Dafang broke my grandmother's heart in the early years, but in the end, my grandmother is still grieving to the point that she has turned white overnight and is still alive!" Do you think that if you know that something happened to your father again...... My father was my grandmother's most beloved young son! It is also the only one in my grandmother's blood that is still there now! Something happened to the two in-laws, even if they are in the prime of life, they may not be able to survive it, let alone at the age of their grandmother? ”

"They want to exterminate our family?" Zhuo Zhaojie's heart was pounding, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Then ...... father now?" ”

- This is a vicious plan! Originally, the second room of the Ning family was the pillar of the Zhending County King's faction, but as soon as the Marquis of Yongcheng died, the Ning family's most powerful dependent, Princess Jiyang, basically couldn't live! At that time, not to mention the blow of the grandmother and father to Ning Shaobi, Ning Yaobi, who is the only son and grandson, and Zhuo Zhaojie, the daughter-in-law, must be filial piety!

The filial piety of the grandmother and father will be guarded together for at least three years, even if the prince and the king of Yanchang County will be ...... Or anyone else doesn't do anything to the Ning family, and the three years of Chenguang are enough for the Ning family to decline.

At least in the past three years, Ming Li Ning Shaobi can't even ask about it! Three-year ...... How long has it taken for the King of Zhending County to be evenly matched with the King of Yanchang County to now be able to threaten the crown prince?

Who knows what the world will look like in three years? Even the saint's health is not very good now......

A Marquis of Yongcheng doesn't seem to be the person that the prince or Tang San hates the most, but he can achieve the first step for them to bring down the King of Zhending County by plotting to kill the Marquis of Yongcheng - after all, although the backer of the King of Zhending County is the emperor and queen, the choice of Princess Jiyang has a lot of influence!

Zhuo Zhaojie can only pray that his father-in-law will be safe at this moment!

Ning Shaobi didn't answer her words about the Marquis of Yongcheng, but said calmly: "They want the crown prince to ascend the throne!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned.

"Have you forgotten? When I told my grandmother the bad news of the big house, my grandmother was certainly white-headed overnight, but didn't the saint fall seriously ill after returning to the palace, and even until now? Ning Shaobi snorted coldly and said, "The emperor and queen are getting older, but the threat in the government and the opposition is still there!" The crown prince wanted to support Tang San, but he had no chance at all in this dynasty. Even the crown prince hinted that he was threatened by Tang Si's forces, but the emperor didn't really pay attention to it! In this case, the prince's only hope is to ascend the throne as soon as possible! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly understood: "Last time, my grandmother was in a coma, and the saint was worried!" So...... The crown prince and Midorihime wanted to make their grandmother suffer another blow by murdering their father, but they used their grandmother's bad to affect the saint's heart! If the saint ...... Then the prince ......"

"It's not just saints." Ning Shaobi sneered and said, "The emperor and queen are affectionate, and there are no concubines in the six palaces!" Last time, the saint and grandmother both fainted by the lake, Xu Zhen came in, but the queen made the decision to let him diagnose his grandmother first! It's not that the queen doesn't care about saints, it's that the queen cares too much about saints! I'd rather bear the charge of despising the health of the royal body than have a falling out with the saint...... Hugh saw that the queen was strong, but the queen was very affectionate to the saint, and once the saint had something, the queen ...... The queen is also this age! ”

"The reason why Midori 'provoked' the princess and the queen before is now clear - not to annoy the princess, but to test the queen. After all, the saint's body is now inferior to the queen's mother, and if something happens to the grandmother, the saint among the emperors and queens will naturally be even more sad! ”

Listening to Ning Shaobi's words, Zhuo Zhaojie lifted his heart and said, "You say...... What is she going to test the queen mother? Yikes! Don't...... Is it to 'provoke' the queen? ”

"Hmm." Ning Shaobi stroked his wife's back and said slowly, "After the queen mother disposed of her this time, she was resentful for a long time, and even the crown princess, Zhao Caolu, and Tang Xing went to comfort her, and brought you and our children over to appease her...... At that time, we all thought the situation was weird, but we didn't see it for a while, why was Midorihime so stupid all of a sudden? But just after receiving Su Bo's secret letter and mentioning Tang San's abnormal movements, I guessed the intention of her actions that day! ”

"In order to test how many things the queen mother can hold back at her current age...... The queen mother is really getting older, and after the anger, her blood is churning, and it is difficult to calm down as quickly as she did in her prime. In addition, in this midsummer season, although people do not feel hot in Cuiwei Mountain, it is the time when the internal fire is easy to rise. Ning Shaobi sneered and said, "Just once Lu Ji said nothing in front of the crown princess, it can make the queen angry for a long time!" ”

"If there is another big event, the queen will lose her mind, and she is afraid of ...... It's all about catastrophe! ”

"At that time, the emperor and queen will ...... Then this Great Liang Dynasty is the crown prince. Zhuo Zhaojie was shocked, "No wonder Lu Ji has a good life, but if she goes to the crown princess, she doesn't talk about it, but also mentions those 'messy' nonsense...... She wished that the crown princess would sue the queen! This slut is so vicious! ”

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, "It's a shame that you let Su Shina follow her father!" Su Shi Na...... Did he know Tang San's plan before he left? "Since Su Shina made a move on Ning Shaobi, Zhuo Zhaojie has always hated him, even if Ning Shaobi later made peace, Su Shina treated her with respect as before, but Zhuo Zhaojie has always been very displeased with this Yue's people.

But at this moment, he was very glad that he followed Yongcheng Hou to the west. This cunning and cruel Yueshi people, as long as they are loyal, can keep the eighteen-year-old Shen Lige firmly holding the position of the head of the Yueshi family, and now since he is following the side of the Marquis of Yongcheng, it is expected that he can also protect the Marquis of Yongcheng!

Otherwise, if you really let the prince's serial plan take effect, then ...... The emperor and queen died, even if he didn't die, this old man of his age probably wouldn't be able to look at things anymore. The power fell into the hands of the prince, how can the faction of the king of Zhending be good?

I'm afraid that the Marquis of Yongcheng will die in the Western Regions, and he will be charged with a crime of disadvantage!

Fortunately, Ning Shaobi squinted her eyes and said, "This matter was reminded of by Su Bo this time." ”

It's a shame that my mother-in-law kept such a person!

Zhuo Zhaojie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said hatefully: "Although the emperor doesn't like Lu Ji and Tang San, she has both life and kindness to the prince, the prince is less of a prince, the emperor doesn't know how much effort has been spent on him, for a 'servant' concubine and a concubine, he even has the heart to kill the monarch's father!" It's crazy! She frowned and asked, "Can you tell the saint or the queen about this?" ”

"Nope." Ning Shaobi sighed and said, "With the 'shrewdness' of the saint and the queen's mother, it may not be impossible to think of this, but they are willing to believe it...... Who would like to believe that their children would murder them? Of course, it's okay just for this, what I'm worried about is that the emperor really thinks of this section, or listens to such rumors, what do you think is the difference between this and the consequences of my grandmother's accident? It's all heart-wrenching! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was silent for a long time, and said, "Do you just let them go?" Now he has murderous intentions towards his father, and even his grandmother is counted in it...... When the real prince inherits the throne, then our family ......"

"Don't worry about that." Ning Shaobi suddenly stopped sighing and laughed coldly!

At about the same time, on Dongyi Mountain, the king of Yanchang asked his henchman to send Tang Shenzhi away.

Tang Shenzhi, who left the residence of the king of Yanchang County, secretly wiped his sweat, smiled a little self-defeating at his previous guess, and thought that he had really thought too much.

But he didn't know that the maid who sent him went back, so the king of Yanchang couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”

"The people who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince settled a few years ago, except for the few who were troublesome yesterday, have all been sent." The envoy said, "On the way to the Yue Clan, there is also an ambush of a group of people. The Marquis of Yongcheng didn't bring Su Shina, and the soldiers he brought were only a hundred people, which was enough. ”

"When will the news come?" The king of Yanchang asked eagerly.

The envoy 'girl' smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, the county king is not in a hurry, they are all equipped with a harrier eagle to summon the message, I expect that as soon as the head of the Marquis of Yongcheng is cut off, there will be good news!" ”

The King of Yanchang nodded expectantly and muttered, "I hope it will succeed as soon as possible...... That's the only way! ”

"King of the county, have the falcons in Chang'an been prepared?" The envoy 'female' reminded, "At that time, the bad news will be transmitted to Chang'an immediately, so that we can hook up!" ”

"Come on, call Hayabusa!" The king of Yanchang was reminded by her and hurriedly ordered.
