Chapter 139: Heartbeat
Previous Chapter: Chapter 138 Rob
For a few days, Dingjing City was very calm. There are almost all the books that sugar hua wants to read.,It's much more stable and updated faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.。 79
In Prince Qin's mansion, Princess Ming'an also rarely stopped for a few days. In the past few days, I haven't done anything except go out to walk around Dingjing Street.
It's just that on the surface, it's not necessarily in private.
On the top of the mansion, Princess Ming'an was delicate, dressed in a golden-red gauze skirt, and was eating the preserved fruits on the plate. Opposite her, two courtier-like figures were kneeling. In the face of Princess Ming'an's humiliation, the two of them did not look half annoyed. These two people are none other than the two concubines of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao.
Since Xie Jingxing's time, Xie Ding has no intention of ruling the court, but has given his power to the two concubines, allowing them to roam in the court by themselves. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao are not low-handed, and they are now working under King Ding. Although the king did not rely on them, he was also cultivated as a useful person for his future. Both of them want to make a difference.
If Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao have any resentment, it is that even if Xie Jingxing is dead, Princess Yuqing's descendants are gone. Xie Ding also refused to straighten the Fang family, and if the Fang family didn't straighten up, the two of them would always be the name of a concubine. Now Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao are eager to make some achievements, just so that when their exploits reach a certain height, they can force Xie Ding to change them to sisters-in-law. Even for the lintel of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, it is only for this.
And the reason why they appeared on the mansion of Prince Qin was also because of Fu Xiuyi's orders.
Fu Xiuyi now wants to be friendly with Prince Qin, and wants to reach some kind of agreement in private, so it will naturally take a lot of thought for Princess Ming'an, Huangfu Hao's sister. Thinking that Princess Ming'an might not be very familiar with Dingjing on weekdays, she sent Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao.
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao are Fu Xiuyi's people, but they are private, and what they have to do on weekdays is to accompany the big guys. Therefore, it would not be strange for others to flatter Princess Ming'an by the two of them.
Princess Ming'an has a violent temper, but she has suffered a lot for Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao in the past few days.
It's the same today.
She looked at the two people opposite and sneered: "You follow this palace all day long, but you are not too bored and panicked. The officials of Mingqi all like to follow the princesses of other countries, so it is too easy for Mingqi to come. ”
"The minister's duty is to make Her Royal Highness the princess happy. Xie Changwu said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is satisfied, and the ministers will be at ease." ”
Princess Ming'an sneered: "You are not a courtier of this palace, and the subordinates of this palace do not accept such idle people." I heard that there was a wonderful Hou Shizi in your Lin'an Hou Mansion, but unfortunately he died young. If it's him, the palace can consider making him a courtier of the palace. ”
The two people crawling on the ground lowered their heads, but their expressions were gloomy for a moment.
Some people are dead, but the shadow they bring to people will not diminish at all. Since Xie Jingxing's time two years ago, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao originally thought that they would never live in Xie Jingxing's shadow again. However, whenever people mention Lin'an Hou Mansion, the first thing that comes to mind is Xie Jingxing. They always said: "If that Xie Xiaohou is not dead, he doesn't know what kind of demeanor he is doing now, and Lin'an Hou is probably extremely proud." ”
But they forgot that the two brothers were also the young masters of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, but it seemed that no matter how good they were, they couldn't surpass Xie Jingxing's heroic appearance in the hearts of the people of the world.
Xie Changchao's eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother is indeed wonderful, and he once had a great relationship with Miss Shen Wu, the concubine of the mighty general. Speaking of which, there is also fate. ”
Hearing Shen Miao's name, Princess Ming'an was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows rose upside down, and her tone involuntarily became heavy, and said, "What's the matter, tell this palace quickly."
Xie Changchao raised his head, seemed to look at Princess Ming'an in surprise, and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess, did you remember that in the Mingqi inspection field, Miss Shen Wu took the lead in foot shooting. ”
Princess Ming'an's expression became more and more gloomy, and Xie Changchao said this, which made her think of the ugliness she had tried to compete with Shen Miao at the tribute banquet, and she just wanted to tear Shen Miao apart.
"At that time, after Cai Lin got off the field, my second brother wanted to challenge Miss Shen Wu. If my second brother played, it would definitely make Miss Shen Wu defeated, but at this time, my eldest brother rushed out, protected Miss Shen, and replaced him himself. Xie Changchao said. He will always remember that time, he was supposed to be angry for Cai Lin to win over Lord Cai, but who knew that Xie Jingxing suddenly jumped out. Although Xie Jingxing looked at the romance on the surface, when did he take the initiative to relieve the girl. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao almost immediately decided that Xie Jingxing had something else to mean to Shen Miao, otherwise why bother to relieve Shen Miao.
It is precisely because of Xie Jingxing's appearance that their brothers were beaten by Xie Jingxing on the verification field, which almost became a joke, and also became a lifelong resentment between Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao.
"I see. Hearing this, Princess Ming'an sneered: "It seems that Xie Jingxing is not a good thing, since he hooked up with that slut, he deserves to die if he wants to come."
Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu's eyes flashed with relief, as long as they smeared Xie Jingxing, and heard someone say that Xie Jingxing was not good, they were very happy in their hearts, as if they could express their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"That Shen Miao's palace is also very eye-catching, if it weren't for his brother's protection, this palace wouldn't be able to make a move. It's already made her dead ten times and eight times. "Princess Ming'an is a little irritable. On that day, above the Prince's East Palace, the words spoken by King Rui echoed in the ears of Princess Ming'an from time to time.
"Such a good girl, this king also wants. ”
She was madly jealous, new hatred and old hatred combined, and she just wanted to break Shen Miao's body into ten thousand pieces. Hua advertisement, but she was grounded by Huang Fu Hao, so she went out, and she was accompanied by Huang Fu Hao's guards, and she couldn't do anything. Now that Shen Miao was mentioned by Xie Changchao, those vicious emotions grew out of his heart again.
Princess Ming'an has been arrogant all her life, and there is nothing she can't get. Now that Shen Miao has become a roadblock for her, there is no reason to keep it.
Her heart suddenly moved, and she looked at Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao.
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao knelt on the ground, and Princess Ming'an didn't let them get up, so they couldn't get up. This day has always been like this, very obedient. It's as if whatever orders are given, they will obediently carry them out.
She suddenly smiled, Princess Ming'an picked up a piece of pastry, looked carefully at the delicate patterns on the pastry, but said, "Xie Changwu, Xie Changchao." You've been following King Ding for a few years, why are you still just an errand runner?"
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were stunned, but they didn't expect Princess Ming'an to suddenly attack them. But Princess Ming'an's words almost poked the two of them in the sore spot, you must know that they have been secretly doing things for Fu Xiuyi since two years ago, but they are all inconsequential. For example, now, it has reached the point where it is no different from those subordinates in the palace, and he wants to curry favor with a princess. The reason why Fu Xiuyi failed to be valued was that in the eyes of the two of them, it naturally had nothing to do with him. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao think that Wen Taowu is very outstanding, and the reason why they can't get ahead until now is nothing more than because of the name of a concubine.
Princess Ming'an's words were mocking, although they didn't speak, they couldn't help but show a little anger on their faces.
Princess Ming'an said: "You really want to be promoted, you really want to be taken by King Ding's side, you have to be respected, you really want to soar one day, you don't have to bear the name of an insulting concubine."
The two Xie brothers did not speak.
"There is a way for the two of you to get what you want. Princess Ming'an said slowly.
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao glanced at each other, and they both leaned over and said, "Ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for advice."
"That's Hongu. Princess Ming'an smiled: "This palace is the princess of Qin State, and now King Ding has something to ask for my prince brother." That's why I let the two of you come to please me, if this palace says a few kind words for you in front of the prince's brother, so that the prince's brother and Dingwang can make things happen, Dingwang will also read the merits of your two. She looked at her nails painted with Kodan: "Isn't that why you've been trying to please Bengong these days?"
Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu did not speak. Generally speaking, this is the case, but they were sent to make Princess Ming'an happy, and they didn't have the idea that Princess Ming'an could say good things for them in the first place. You must know that Princess Ming'an is flying and domineering and has no one in her eyes, it is a good thing not to be angry with her, how dare you have the idea of getting her blue eyes. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were not fools, knowing that Princess Ming'an suddenly mentioned this matter, there must be some conditions for exchange, so they didn't speak for a while.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Princess Ming'an couldn't hold back a little, so she said it herself. She said: "It's just a sentence from this palace, and no matter how many people want to ask for it, they can't ask for it." The two of you are not related to this palace, and if you are good, this palace will speak for you, and naturally you will have to take some compensation. ”
If you pretend to be stupid, you can't say it, Xie Changwu said: "Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to command." ”
"You also know," Princess Ming'an curled her little nails and said, "This palace has always been very kind, and in Mingqi there is also the idea of being kind to others, but there are always some sluts who are not long-sighted to provoke this palace." Her voice suddenly sharpened: "The most annoying thing in this palace now is the little slut of the Shen family."
The feud between Shen Miao and Princess Ming'an, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao both knew, Princess Ming'an would be more than equal, and she would suffer a loss in the hands of Shen Miao, and she would definitely not give up. But now that she is in Mingqi's territory, Shen Miao is not an innocuous young lady in a small civilian household, if something really happens, Princess Ming'an herself will be a big trouble.
Princess Ming'an looked at Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao, her eyes were so friendly for the first time, and she said: "I know that you two are among the best young talents in Mingqi, and you have great courage, I don't know if you are willing to help this palace."
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were stunned for a moment, and Xie Changchao asked tentatively: "What is the plan of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Don't worry, this palace is kind-hearted and doesn't want her life. Princess Ming'an smiled: "But you have to sell her to the lowest kiln in Mingqi, and when she slowly gets used to life there, you can think of asking the government to rescue her." ”
The two brothers of the Xie family gasped.
Sell people to the lowest kilns, and the woman is almost ruined. The guests in the lowest kilns are the most rude warrior robbers, who toss people in a way that makes life worse than death. Many of them made mistakes and were put in by the slaves of the master's family, but they lost their breath in just one day. However, Princess Ming'an also specially ordered not to let people die, and when Shen Miao was almost tossed and became a walking corpse, wouldn't it be a big joke to let the government rescue her, I am afraid that everyone will know the fact that the fifth lady of the Shen family of Mingqi has become a prostitute, and the spitting stars can drown Shen Miao.
Let the most noble lady be ravaged by the roughest and savage man, I am afraid that it is better for Shen Miao to die.
Xie Changwu smiled reluctantly: "The Shen family guards all martial arts are strong, how to sell Miss Shen Wu to that place." ”
"That's your business. Princess Ming'an returned to that lofty appearance: "Since the palace said that you have the courage, how to capture Shen Miao also depends on your ability." Otherwise, everything must be considered by this palace for you, what does this palace want you to do?"
Seeing that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were still hesitating, Princess Ming'an lowered her tone again, and said step by step: "However, if it is completed, this palace will also speak well for you in front of King Ding, at least let King Ding find a good errand for the two of you, and you don't have to be as high or low as now." Don't you agree to such a good deal?"
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao glanced at each other, and they both saw the tangled look in each other's eyes.
Seeking wealth and danger, people like them who have been getting into their careers are most eager for nothing more than to soar one day. Princess Ming'an has now provided a shortcut for the two of them, and it seems that it only takes a short time to get what they dream of one step closer.
But it is indeed not an easy task to kidnap Shen Miao. Even now the two of them also have some of their own people, but the Shen family is originally from a military family, and those guards are extraordinary. I'm afraid that any of the guards around Shen Miao are strong in martial arts, and once Shen Miao disappears, Shen Xin will definitely block the whole process of martial law in Dingjing, and when the time comes, hide Shen Miao and transport her to the kiln, but it will still take a lot of trouble.
Success, glory and wealth, defeat, everything is a phantom, gains and losses, the two are uncertain.
Seeing this, Princess Ming'an sneered: "Since the two of you hesitate, then treat it as if the palace did not mention this matter." There is only one chance, and this palace will not give a second time. Go down, Mingqi is not the only one who has the courage to be brave, Bengong thinks, there will always be someone who is willing to bet on this rich and noble. ”
"The minister is willing" did not wait for Princess Ming'an to order her subordinates, Xie Changchao took the lead in shouting, he pulled Xie Changwu, Xie Changwu saw that Xie Changchao had already spoken, and there was no reason to say no. had to bend down and salute: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for Her Royal Highness the princess, and he will not give up."
That's what it means to make this deal.
Princess Ming'an smiled and said, "Get up, since you work hard for this palace, this palace will not treat you badly." This palace is waiting for your good news in the house, and then wait for the good news. She laughs.
After coming out of Princess Ming'an's mansion and returning to Lin'an's Hou Mansion, the Xie brothers closed the door and discussed the matter. Xie Changwu complained: "Third brother, you are too anxious, so you agreed in front of the princess, this matter is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you will make a mistake." ”
Xie Changchao disagreed with his words and said, "Second brother, the princess also said that if we don't do it, she will find someone else to do it." What you and I lack now is not ability, but opportunity. If it does, it will naturally be able to soar, isn't this the result that you and I both want to see?"
"But Shen Miao is not the daughter of an ordinary family," Xie Changwu sighed: "Even if we can rob Shen Miao out, how should Shen Xin search the whole city after that, it is not safe for us to hide her anywhere." ”
"Isn't there still our mansion," Xie Changchao smiled.
Xie Changwu looked at him: "You mean"
"No matter how Shen Xin searches the whole city, there is no reason to search his colleagues' homes. No matter how suspicious he is, he can't suspect that it was the two of us who kidnapped Shen Miao, we have no grievances with Shen Miao, what are we doing robbing her" Xie Changchao smiled: "Seamless"
Xie Changwu's face, which was originally a little worried, gradually relaxed, and he only heard Xie Changchao say: "It's just that how to rob Shen Miao depends on you and me to think about it in the long run." ”
Shen Miao did not know about these agreements between the Xie brothers and Princess Ming'an. It was dark early in the winter in Dingjing, and soon after dinner, it was all dark. These days, things in the DPRK and China are quite busy, and Shen Xin and the others are also very busy, but Shen Miao is cheaper.
But today, she is replying to the post under the lamp.
Feng Anning gave her a lot of posts before, but because she was thinking about Chang Zaiqing's affairs, she didn't go once. They all asked Luo Tan to hang out with Feng Anning, and as soon as Feng Anning's eldest lady got angry, she gave her a post today, asking her to come out and visit the shop together in two days. If you don't come out, your friends don't have to do it.
Shen Miao thought about it again and again, and felt that Feng Anning could still be regarded as her friend after all. In order to maintain this "hard-won" friendship, he was compassionate and prepared to reply to the post, and responded to Feng Anning's invitation.
Write the post and hand it to Gu Yu, and Surprise and Gu Yu went out to cover the door. Shen Miao yawned, planning to go to bed early, so she walked to the couch.
Fang walked to the couch, and suddenly saw something arched over the couch, wriggling under her futon.
Shen Miao was startled, Fang Cai and Gu Yu were both in the house, and they didn't even notice when this was something that came in. For a while, I came up with some strange thoughts in my head, and I instinctively got goosebumps. But he was silent for a moment, and then calmed down again. Speaking of which, she herself is a person who has died once, so what is there to be afraid of when she really sees ghosts and gods.
He immediately walked to the couch and lifted the futon.
Under the futon, there was a big cat-like thing. The fur was a rare snow-white color, fluffy and shrunken into a ball, and the quilt was lifted coldly, and he paused for a moment, and then looked up at her.
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment.
The little thing ran over to her bed with joy, happily picking up the sleeve of her mid-blouse. When I got closer, I saw that it was a white tiger
Shen Miao is crazy, the black light is blind, where did such a white tiger come from
I heard someone in the shadows chuckle and called, "Jiaojiao." ”
Shen Miao subconsciously looked back, but saw the white tiger cub biting her sleeve "whew" and stood up and ran to the other end.
Under the light, his purple robe was illuminated inch by inch, and the place embroidered with the golden thread dragon pattern reflected a small glittering brilliance. The appearance is also plated with a warm color by the yellow candle flame, and it doesn't look like someone in the world.
Xie Jingxing leaned over and lifted the white tiger that turned his head to bite the corner of his sleeve, casually tucked the white tiger in his sleeve, and said, "Naughty." ”
Shen Miao blinked, suddenly reacted, looked at the white tiger with only one head in Xie Jingxing's sleeve, and said in disbelief: "What do you call it?"
"Jiaojiao. Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows, walked over unhurriedly, and even asked: "Is it a good match?"
Shen Miao was angry and didn't want to talk to him anymore. Use her small characters as the name of the beast, is Xie Jingxing still a person?
Xie Jingxing had already walked to the front of the small table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "The tea is still hot, it seems that you are very thoughtful for me." ”
Shen Miao said: "Shameless"
How could there be such a shameless person in the world, but Xie Jingxing actually glanced at the chrysanthemum on the small table and said, "Tsk, I also prepared snacks, but I'm not hungry, I'm tired." ”
It was a snack prepared for Shen Miao who was afraid that he would be hungry at night, Xie Jingxing actually thought that he had specially prepared it for him Shen Miao looked at Xie Jingxing coldly, this person is like this, she better not speak.
"I've been very tired these days," Xie Jingxing said, "It's good that I can rest here for a while, thank you." ”
Shen Miao's heart moved, Xie Jingxing hadn't been here for several days. Although Shen Miao was still a little unaccustomed to it because he had not come uninvited at night, it made her have some other thoughts now. She asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Jingxing glanced at her with a smile: "You want to trick me again"
Shen Miao was noncommittal.
"It's not fair all the time. Xie Jingxing said leisurely: "You know a lot of my secrets, I don't know anything about you, why don't you tell me about you."
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at Xie Jingxing in her heart, you must know that Xie Jingxing has an intelligence building like Fengxian Pawnshop, and Mingqi's world affairs are not controlled by him in applause. It's embarrassing to say that she doesn't know anything about Shen Miao, and Shen Miaocai thinks that Xie Jingxing is more dangerous, okay.
"If King Rui wants to hear anything, you can go to Shopkeeper Ji. Shen Miao said coolly: "Shopkeeper Ji will be happy to tell His Highness." ”
"Shopkeeper Ji doesn't ask about Fengyue," Xie Jingxing said: "What this king wants to know, Shopkeeper Ji can't answer, only you can tell this king." ”
Shen Miao asked, "What do you want to know?"
Xie Jingxing held his chin, looked at Shen Miao for a long time, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "What do you like about Fu Xiuyi?"
Shen Miao was slightly stunned.
She thought that Xie Jingxing would ask her some inexplicable questions, and in the process of dealing with Xie Jingxing over the years, she also clearly realized that her understanding of Xie Jingxing in her previous life was very shallow. The young talent who died young is by no means the best description of him. Xie Jingxing is a smart and dangerous hunter, and if he doesn't grasp the balance well, he is easy to be caught by hunters with fatal weaknesses.
She knew that she had revealed a lot of information, and there were also some mistakes that made Xie Jingxing suspicious. She even wanted Xie Jingxing to answer when she asked how she knew so much about what was going to happen in the future. But he didn't expect Xie Jingxing to ask such an irrelevant question.
What does she like about Fu Xiuyi, does it have anything to do with the world's plans?
Shen Miao asked: "Why do you ask this?"
After not hearing Xie Jingxing's answer for a long time, Shen Miao turned her head and happened to meet Xie Jingxing's gaze.
Under the lights, Xie Jingxing was staring at her sideways. He was already handsome and bewitching, but at this moment, under the lights, his black eyes were like stars, as if the stars in the sky were not as bright as his eyes. However, in that brightness, there were some sharp edges, which made people unable to take their eyes off when they looked at it, and they were firmly locked by him and couldn't move.
There seemed to be something else in his eyes, it seemed to be questioning or something else, three points strong and seven points domineering, but in an unavoidable manner, the deep meaning in his eyes burned.
Why did he not answer this question.
Shen Miao heard her heart beating violently, and she panicked for a moment. This long-lost vivid voice coming out of her chest made her at a loss, dazed, but there was no more resistance.
On a cold winter day, the dim candle flame shone warmly, the young man's eyes were sharp, as if he understood everything, and the corners of his lips slowly hooked.
"Ahh
Shen Miao came back to her senses and said, "Your pet is sick. "I avoided the question without a trace.
Xie Jingxing didn't dwell on it, but picked up the white tiger from his sleeve, looked at it twice, and said, "Squeamish" I don't know who he is talking about.
Shen Miao took a deep breath, and always felt that Xie Jingxing had taken this white tiger as his own small character, and his intentions were very bad. In the future, when people scold this beast, Shen Miao will inevitably think of herself. Thinking of this, he was a little unhappy with the white tiger, and he didn't even like Xie Jingxing with it.
"Since you're squeamish, let's ask Imperial Doctor Gao to show it when you go back. Shen Miao sneered: "Anyway, Doctor Gao has excellent medical skills, and doctors are the same as animals." ”
Xie Jingxing smiled: "Jiaojiao doesn't like Imperial Doctor Gao, she only likes to stick to this king." ”
Shen Miao glared at him angrily.
Xie Jingxing must have done it on purpose
"King Rui is not leaving," Shen Miao said: "I'm going to rest." ”
Xie Jingxing was displeased: "Sometimes I travel with Feng Anning for a whole day, and this king will rush in a moment, which is really unrighteous." Having said that, he got up from his seat, walked to the window, suddenly remembered something, turned back to the side standing on the edge of the couch and said, "Tell this king about the problem just now." ”
His figure disappeared through the window.
Shen Miao walked over and closed the window, blew out the light, and collapsed herself.
There was silence in the room, as if it were just an illusion that someone had just come. It's just that the cup with the residual tea on the table can still remind you that it's not just a dream.
Everything is real, just.
On the bed, Shen Miao's hand touched his heart.
There, the violent beating has not subsided until now.
Not an illusion.

In fact, the mother is also upright, no way, Brother Xie is too good at flirting with girls
