Chapter 266: Assassination
There was only Shi Miaoyu left in the room for a while, and after she was done, she let her subordinates go down.
According to the process, the two newcomers worshiped heaven and earth with Gu Qingchi today, but they didn't have anything to do with themselves. Most of the people who came today were men, but there were very few women, so there was no need for her to entertain them.
After all, everyone is not stupid, it's okay, who would go to the housewife to block the housewife in order to please a concubine?
Although she is a side concubine and has a high status in the house, in the end it is also a side word, so she has to be subservient.
Although the identities of these two side concubines are not ordinary, who knows what will happen in the future? Anyway, according to the current attitude of King Anling's favorite wife, they have to wait and see what happens.
Even if it falls into the ground in the future, until the current situation is clear, we must maintain the status quo and stand still.
Shi Miaoyu didn't know what people thought, or even if she knew, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
After letting the servant go down, she sat in her room and read a book. Compared to the bustle in front, this place is exceptionally clean.
"Princess, the newlyweds are almost at the door, do you want the slave to go out to find out the news?"
Seeing that the sun is already rising, and the auspicious time is getting closer and closer, Caihe is already a little anxious.
Her master did not move, but she was unstable in her heart, and she always felt that the young lady was showing weakness by staying in her yard like this, which made people look down on her.
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu snorted, and her eyes didn't leave the page, but said, "Look at what they do." β
When she said this, she saw Caihe's expression again, and said with a smile: "But if you want to see it, go ahead." β
This girl has always been an acute child, and I'm afraid she can't help it for a long time. She wanted to see it, and she could, she knew what she should know.
If he got Shi Miaoyu, Caihe went out. I heard that there will be two relatives of the side concubines coming to watch the ceremony together today, she has to go to the front to keep an eye on it, in case anyone wants to be restless, she has to know in advance whether a letter is not.
Seeing that the lotus was gone, Green Branch sighed and said, "This girl is just unstable." β
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu smiled faintly: "It's enough to have you a stable one, let her go." β
Anyway, this girl doesn't have a bad heart, but she is simpler.
"You're just used to her. β
Lu Zhi said this, walked behind Shi Miaoyu again, pinched her shoulders for her, and said: "Master, these two people who married in today are not good stubble, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our house to be peaceful in the future." β
The two side concubines referred to by the emperor, one is from the Qinghe Jiang family, named Jiang Yuyan, although she is a concubine, but in terms of seniority, she wants to call the queen a cousin.
The other is the youngest daughter of Taichang Siqing, named Xue Lingyao.
It is said that he has been in love with King Anling for a long time, and the emperor took pity on her for a long time, so he gave her marriage.
The families behind these two people are seriously speaking, they are all big families. The Qinghe Jiang family dominated one side because of the queen and the prince born to her. Although Taichang Siqing's official position is not very high, he is a member of the Xue family in Jinling, and if he talks about it, he can be regarded as having a profound background.
These two people were married to the upstarts, and they were more than enough to be wives, but they were assigned by the emperor to Gu Qingchi.
And the most important thing is that both of them are much higher than their own young lady's status.
Yangyuanbo's Mansion has long since declined, and even if the Lin family is rich, it is just a merchant. Miss, the concubine, wants to suppress those two, it's too difficult.
As soon as he thought of this, Green Branch couldn't help but sigh.
The life of my own young lady is really a little bitter.
Compared with her sigh, Shi Miaoyu didn't feel bitter at all, but was faintly excited.
She knows that nine times out of ten, these two people have been instructed by the emperor, and coming to the mansion is not just as simple as being a side concubine, in fact, it is more like a chess piece that has been arranged.
And her role is to force these two chess pieces into the dead corner of the chessboard, so that they can't turn over the waves.
When I think about it, I can't wait.
Although Shi Miaoyu didn't go out, it didn't prevent the news from coming in a steady stream of front: "Back to the princess, Concubine Jiang has entered the door, Concubine Xue has followed, and the two have entered the door before and after." β
The identities of the two are comparable, but they both want to fight on this.
Shi Miaoyu listened, just smiled faintly and said, "This princess knows." β
She didn't expect that the two of them didn't seem to be on good terms. But also, the Jiang family and the Xue family are not very compatible in the first place, although the Xue family is a head down, but it is a concubine, so naturally they don't look down on the concubine of the Jiang family.
It's just that the two of them began to compete with each other when they entered the new door, and maybe they gave themselves points that they could use in the future.
Thinking of this, the smile on her lips became even colder.
It's that they huddle together, and they have to think of ways to make them trouble.
If you don't make a fuss, how can you get in the way?
......
Originally, the Xue family and the Jiang family both knew what it meant to send their daughter to the Anling Palace, so probably out of guilt, the dowry was a little heavier than usual.
But because of the big battle on the day of Shi Miaoyu's marriage, the dowry of these two side concubines is not so spectacular.
Rao is like this, and it is enough to make the people in the capital speechless. is worthy of a big family, and all of this pile is a treasure.
After the newcomer entered the mansion, the dowry was still carried into the mansion like flowing water. Because the two of them entered the door with their front and back feet, the dowry was even more unaware of when it was together, as if there was no end.
The side concubine is different from the concubine, not only can she worship heaven and earth with her husband, but she does not completely rely on the house to support her, but has her own dowry as her own body. This is also the reason why the side concubine should be a little tougher, after all, with silver by her side, it is always easier to do things.
The ears were full of praise and envy from everyone, some envied Gu Qingchi for even marrying a beautiful wife and concubine, some envied that the Anling Mansion could make a fortune by dowry, and naturally there were also those who were jealous.
The voices around him said everything, but Gu Qingchi, who was at the center of the topic, had a detached and indifferent smile from beginning to end.
It seems that all this excitement in front of him has nothing to do with him.
"And the lotus blossoms, and the twenty-eight brides come to the doorβ"
The celebrant shouted loudly, and saw two brides who were being supported by their arms come in together.
Because they are side concubines, they are wearing peach-colored wedding dresses today, and even the embroidered shoes on their feet are pink satin.
At this time, the two side concubines were supported to stand on the left and right, and the position in the middle was reserved for Gu Qingchi.
The celebrant voice sounded again, and the people around him began to heckle.
"Worship heaven and earthβ"
At this moment, only the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard, and a roar was heard: "Dog thief, take your life!"
As the man's voice sounded, he saw a long arrow passing through the crowd, stabbing straight towards Gu Qingchi's back!
It was so fast and urgent, Gu Qingchi didn't react to avoid it, and he was stabbed by a sharp sword when he landed!
The room was in chaos in an instant, screams and fights continued to sound, and the original Xitang became an existence like an Asura field.
......
"Shhhh
When the embroidery needle pierced the finger, Caihe's voice sounded almost at the same time: "Miss, it's not good, there are assassins!"
Before her people entered the house, the burning sound had already penetrated the doors and windows and drifted into the room.
The next moment, I saw Caihe suddenly open the curtain and break in, panting and saying, "Miss, go and take a look, the prince was pierced through the chest by an assassin with a sword, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......."
Before she finished her words, she saw Shi Miaoyu Huo Ran standing up, and the embroidery frame was also tripped by her and fell to the ground. Shi Miaoyu didn't realize it, stumbled over, grabbed Caihe's shoulder, and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"In ...... ...... in the main courtyard"
Cai He's words were only halfway through when Shi Miaoyu let go of her and ran outside.
The green branch also reacted at this time, hurriedly took the big hat, chased her outward, and said, "Master, wear a dress!"
On such a cold day, Shi Miaoyu only wore a small jacket, but it was going to freeze!
Seeing that the green branch was chasing Shi Miaoyu, Caihe wiped the tears on his face and chased after him: "Miss, wait for the slave." β
At this time, the main courtyard has become a pot of porridge.
There were about three or four Assassins who came today, all of them made a killing move, and they also cut and injured several guests attending the wedding banquet.
As for the two brides, because of the quick pull of the people to the side, they were spared from danger. At the moment, he was also crying in the main courtyard, looking at a loss.
Originally, on this happy day, no husband could lift the hijab by themselves. That's unlucky.
However, at this moment, there was a panic everywhere, and the two people coincidentally did the same thing and lifted their hijabs.
After all, the situation reported by the maids is not as true as they see it with their own eyes.
When Shi Miaoyu came in, he saw that in addition to crying, the sound of people running in the room was the sound of people running.
She frowned and glanced at the two newcomers who were in more tears than they were, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, send the two side concubines back to the room." But I've got a doctor, where are the people?"
Shi Miaoyu's series of things to be done were arranged, and those subordinates gradually stabilized as if they had found the backbone.
Instead, Jiang Yuyan raised her head first, looked at Shi Miaoyu and said, "You are the princess?"
As soon as she said this, Xue Lingyao next to her stopped crying, and looked up at Shi Miaoyu, but in the depths of their eyes, they were a little disapproving.
After all, this eldest lady of Yangyuan Bofu is famous, that is, they have never been out of the boudoir, and they also know something.
This kind of person, if it was placed in the past, it would be a shame to even talk to her, but now Shi Miaoyu has become the main room, and the two of them are a head shorter than Shi Miaoyu.
This feeling is uncomfortable, but it still doesn't prevent them from taking Shi Miaoyu seriously.
They tried their best to hide their emotions, but Shi Miaoyu has lived two lives, and her ability to observe words and emotions has been practiced to the extreme, where can you not see their thoughts at the moment?
It's just that she was so focused on Gu Qingchi at this time that she didn't even bother to give the two of them a look, so she turned around and picked up the curtain and entered the inner room.
Seeing that Shi Miaoyu had neglected herself like this, Jiang Yuyan's expression instantly became ugly, and at this moment, she saw another grandmother and said respectfully: "Concubine Fang, please go back to the courtyard with the old slave and wait." β
Now these subordinates all listened to Shi Miaoyu's words, so after listening to the order, they invited the two of them back to the room at this time.
The attitude was respectful, but it was resolute and unequivocal.
These two have just gotten married, and they can't express any temper at the moment. What's more, Gu Qingchi was assassinated just now, and at this time, life and death are known, they only feel that their hearts are still beating hard, and their bodies are weak. At this moment, seeing that the grandmothers were resolute, even if they had a lot to say, they had no idea, so they could only go back with them first.
After Shi Miaoyu entered the inner room, he first smelled a smell of blood.
She was not unfamiliar with this smell, and even smelled it often, but at the moment she smelled it from the closed room, and she couldn't help but shake her body.
