Chapter Twenty-Four: Murder in the Night

Princess Sorrow endured her anger, staring at Mu Xuefu's stomach with a cold and piercing gaze, cold and fierce.

"That's why I'm so careful when I'm pregnant, I can't tell how weak my body bones are. The courtiers heard that giving birth to a child is like a woman taking a turn in the ghost gate, and a person who is not in good health, even if he takes half a life, it is not certain whether he can be born, and whether he can turn back from this ghost gate is even more certain. ”

Princess Sanssouci glanced at Qin Qing who was saying this beside her, her mind turned, the coldness in her eyes slowly melted into the endless night, a smile climbed up her cheeks, but with an indescribable insidiousness, she said, "Also, who knows if she can really be blessed?" After speaking, he looked at her again and said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, it won't be long before you will be Princess Ning." ”

This Qin Qing is the daughter of the military department Shangshu, that is, the future princess of King Ning, so she has the opportunity to appear in such a scene. Qin Qing's appearance is also excellent, although her appearance is not as delicate as the worry-free princess around her, she has a shrewd and spicy momentum. Her eyes wandered around King Ning, and then glanced at several princes, judging in her heart, her face was a little cold, but it slowly faded, "Although King Ning is not as good as other princes, at least he has a gentle personality, except for the deceased princess in King Ning's mansion, his side is also quite clean, there are no side concubines, only two concubines." Don't you see that King Rui and King Chen are also side concubines, and the concubines are full? That Hua Meier is still Concubine Zhen's niece, isn't she still a concubine for others. ”

Speaking of that Hua Mei'er, Princess Sanssouci sneered at her even more, and said disdainfully: "Her father's ability to sit on the position of squire is also because Concubine Zhen was favored in the palace, otherwise what is she?" To make her a concubine is already to elevate her. I heard that she has always been a tiger in Chenwang's Mansion, but now that she has that person, won't she change from a tiger to a sick cat? ”

Qin Qing glanced at Hua Mei'er and Concubine Zhen with a sneering gaze, and said, "She thought it would be great to have Concubine Zhen to support her." Concubine Zhen was only favored earlier, but now that the emperor has a new favorite, her favor is not as good as before, and it will be difficult for her to maintain her status in this harem in the future, how can she care about her? Besides, even if Concubine Zhen doesn't fall out of favor, she is only a concubine, and her hand can't reach out to King Chen's mansion. What's more, that person is the daughter of Zuo Xiang, even in the palace, Concubine Zhen doesn't dare to be too embarrassed for her. ”

"If this palace is Princess Chen, she will definitely be driven out of the palace." Princess Sanssouci said in passing.

Qin Qing watched Mu Xuefu snuggle up on King Chen's shoulder, and the two of them didn't know what they were muttering, so they rolled their eyes, "The courtier wishes the princess what she wants." ”

Mu Xuefu felt a white eye flying towards her, and then she went to look for it but didn't catch it, so she was angry and pinched Jingrong's thigh.

Jing Rong hurts, this woman is really good at pinching, the meat on the inner thighs is the softest, and it hurts the most when pinched. He "tsk", approached her, and whispered in her ear, "What's the matter?" This king has said that it is for you to relieve the siege, you are not grateful to this king, forget it, and repay the kindness and revenge. ”

"You don't have any reason to say, but you just said this. I was already in the crosshairs, but this is a good thing, everyone's eyes fell on my stomach. In a few months, what will I say? ”

"What's the big deal, we'll have one."

Mu Xuefu was suddenly stunned, her eyebrows looked directly at Jing Rong, and she was even more ruthless, and pinched it fiercely. But this time, Jing Rong had already prepared, and his legs were tightened, and even the flesh on his inner thighs stiffened. She exerted her strength, and she was angry, and one hand pinched his inner thigh, "Whoever wants to be born with you, I want to be beautiful." ”

Jing Rong looked at the snow-white soft canature, her throat tightened, pressed her hand, and her voice was hoarse, "Don't touch it." ”

Mu Xuefu stopped, looked at him suspiciously, and looked at the slowly dyed red on his earlobes, and instantly understood. He quickly pulled out his hand, picked up Jinpa, wiped it, and muttered, "Who told you to talk nonsense." ”

Jing Rong wanted to tease her, but she didn't expect that she would blush, cough lightly, sit up straight, and a little gap opened between the two of them, "This king has his own ideas, you don't need to worry." ”

Anyway, if something happens, he will naturally bear it. Mu Xuefu thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at the sky again. The full moon pours its brilliance dimly, shining these lights on the heavens and the earth. A gust of wind blew, Mu Xuefu gathered her clothes and asked softly, "When are we going back?" I'm sleepy. ”

Jing Rong looked at her neck and held her in his arms with one hand, "After a while, it will be over soon." ”

As expected, a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Xuanwu left with Concubine Li on the grounds of exhaustion, and then the queen also left Lanyue Tower. The two highest statuses are gone, who is still willing to drink here to admire the moon. After a while, they all walked away.

Out of the palace, Jingrong carefully helped Mu Xuefu to sit in the carriage, this pretending to be pregnant also has to be pretended, thanks to his whim when he personally hugged her down, it can be more convincing.

When Mu Xuefu got into the carriage, she lazily leaned back on the back chair and closed her eyes to recuperate. She didn't sleep well last night, and today is another busy day, which is really hard.

Jing Rong looked at her tired appearance and untied the cloak on her body and covered her.

Mu Xuefu knew his movements, but she really didn't have the energy, she tried to open her eyes, but in vain, so she simply didn't bother.

After a long time, there was a small sound in the carriage, and Jingrong saw that he was really asleep. Mu Xuefu, who was asleep, was as quiet as a painting, her eyebrows were light and peaceful, and she didn't have all the expressions that he usually couldn't figure out, but there was more tranquility and peace.

In this way, in the luxurious and expensive carriage, one person fell asleep and one person watched. What was supposed to be a beautiful and harmonious picture was interrupted by the sudden stop of the carriage.

The horses stumbled, and the carriage jolted. Mu Xuefu leaned forward and almost fell into the ground, but fortunately, Jing Rong's eyes were quick and he picked her up in time.

This sudden movement immediately woke Mu Xuefu up, and the hand she was about to exert her gong was immediately retracted when the slender hands hugged her. And because Jing Rong took care of her, she didn't realize the true qi she had exuded.

"What's going on!" Jing Rong hugged Mu Xuefu's body, heard the screams and noises of the women outside, and shouted outside.

The star chaser outside the carriage tightly grabbed the reins of the horse, turned around and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the prince, the carriage of the Pingnan County Wangfu in front of me seems to have an accident, and a dart rushed towards us, blocking month by month, startling the horse." ”

Jing Rong lifted the curtain, poked his head out and saw that the carriages in front of him had stopped and got off, frowned, and said, "You go and see what happened." "At this time, it was already a child, there was no one on the street, even the shops were closed, and this street was the only way to the palaces of the major kings.

Chasing Star was instructed to throw the horse rope to Zhuyue and ran over to inquire, and it took a while to come back.

"Lord Wang, King Pingjun was killed." Chasing the star replied through the curtain.

Jing Rong's expression froze, he squinted, patted Mu Xuefu's shoulder, and said, "This king goes down and has a look, you sit quietly in the car." ”

"No, I'm going to get out of the car with you, this horse is too timid, what if you are shocked again?" Mu Xuefu shook her head, broke free from his embrace, and got out of the car first. Looking back at Jing Rong's pursed lips, he smiled, stretched out his hand to him, and said, "Is the prince afraid that the concubine will be afraid when she sees a dead person?" Lord, the concubine is afraid of everything, but she is not afraid of the dead. For the living man is much more terrible than the dead, and he should be afraid of me. ”

Jing Rong listened to these breezy words, and a thin layer of ice was cast on his heart. When had he ever seen a woman say so lightly about a dead man? He looked at her in a daze, trying to see something in her eyes, but there was only a lukewarm smile in her eyes, which made people unable to see through it. She stood there playfully and stretched out her hand to herself, shining brightly.

Jing Rong came back to his senses, grabbed her hand and got out of the carriage, and pulled out the cloak she had just covered on the carriage and draped it over her. The two of them came to King Pingjun's carriage and saw a dart stuck in the neck of the fat body on the carriage. The blow was fatal, blood splattered, and the smell of blood filled the air. The female dependents who accompanied King Pingjun were already frightened, and no one dared to step forward to touch him, but just looked at the blood that sealed his throat with fearful eyes.

Mu Xuefu suddenly threw herself into Jing Rong's arms and turned her face in a different direction. Jing Rong thought she was scared, and secretly thought that she was able to do it just now, but she couldn't stand it after just one glance, it seemed that she was thinking about it just now. He hugged Mu Xuefu's body, gently stroked her back, and said, "Don't let you come down, you are reckless." ”

Mu Xuefu snorted, and didn't emit anything, but the smile on her lowered face was thick, but it was a little weird. Purple eyes flashed, and they returned to normal. couldn't help but turn his head to look at King Pingjun's body again, but he only glanced at it, and was moved to the other side by Jing Rong. Jing Rong only cared about checking the surrounding environment, and didn't see the hatred in Mu Xuefu's eyes and the smug smile on the corner of his mouth when he looked at King Pingjun.

It was this Pingjun King who went to her house to announce the will, and she will never forget the fat ugly face. She couldn't forget his raised hand as if it were a knife on a picturesque silk, she couldn't forget the shout of "kill", and she couldn't forget the disdainful and smug smile he had when he left.

Now, he could no longer raise his hand or speak, and a smug and disdainful smile appeared on her face.

Mu Xuefu clutched Jing Rong's collar tightly, restraining her desire to look up to the sky and laugh. But he thought she was really scared, and even her body began to tremble.

"Yuchen, how is this good now?" Prince Fu was the first person to arrive at the scene, he commanded people to keep the traces of the scene, and asked people to comfort the female dependents brought by King Pingjun. Just as Yu Guang glanced at Jing Rong who was standing aside, he asked.

Jing Rong let go of Mu Xuefu and arched his hand at him, and said: "The imperial nephew is in charge of the Gyeonggi Guard, and it is the responsibility of this incident to occur, just now the imperial nephew has asked people to mobilize the Gyeonggi Guard to search for suspicious characters throughout the process." He looked at King Pingjun, who was out of breath, and said, "We still need the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin to follow up." ”
