Chapter 489: It's better to plan for a rainy day than to make amends
The palace is still a happy picture, but the waves outside the palace are surging.
Those secret forces can't sit still, and today the king officially introduced Chen Dashan and his family to them, and it must not be long before he will be edicted to make him the prince.
If this is the case, then all these years of meticulous preparation have been in vain.
This Chen Jingshan seemed to appear out of thin air, and they didn't hear any movement beforehand.
The four major families of Zhao, Wu, Zheng, and Su gathered a total of eight people, the Zhao family and the Wu family were previously from the eldest prince's faction, and the Zheng family and the Su family were from the third prince's faction.
They discussed countermeasures together, and they still decided to get rid of Chen Dashan and their family first, they didn't want the snipe and mussels to compete for the fisherman's profit.
It's just that there are still six people who were sent out before who are still missing, and I don't know if they fell into the hands of the king.
If it falls on the king, it is impossible for the king not to deal with it.
But it didn't fall into his hands, where did the people go?
This left them puzzled.
After some discussion, everyone decided to start again at the time of the Shangyuan Festival.
There is a lantern festival on the Shangyuan Festival, and there are many people in Chudu at that time, isn't it normal for some accidents to occur?
They planned together, and then went back to sleep.
After Xiao Haitang returned to the courtyard where he lived, he was not in a hurry to sleep, but sat on the bed as if he was thinking about something.
Qiu Xia asked, "The girl is thinking about her son?" ”
Xiao Haitang was stunned and asked, "How do you know that your eyes see that I miss him?" Could it be that you miss Li Jia? ”
Qiu Xia's face was not red and she said without panic: "I just miss him." ”
Xiao Haitang smiled and reached out to pinch her face, and said, "Sister Qiuxia, why didn't you say it earlier?" If you had said it earlier, I would have left you in Shangjing, so that you could go to the twilight with your lover. ”
Qiu Xia said calmly: "I have been with him for a long time, and I want to go around everywhere."
Dr. He said, the world is so big, I want to see it. ”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Haitang stretched out her hand and squeaked her, saying, "Let you go and see~"
The two girls giggled with laughter, and even the princess of Qinqing next door could hear it.
She looked impatient, and said to the palace maid Su'e, "Who lives next door?" ”
Su E replied: "It's the county lord of Begonia." ”
"Smack." Princess Jingqing slapped her in the face and asked, "When did my father issue an edict to make her the lord of the county?" You're eating inside and out. ”
Su'e hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Princess Jingqing was jealous, but because of jealousy, she did not lose her anger because of Su'e's begging for mercy, but sent all her anger towards Su'e, punching and kicking her.
Su'e didn't dare to cry or run, and endured it alive.
Until Princess Jingqing was exhausted, Su'e also lay on the ground and didn't move.
She didn't even look at her, and said to the nurse, "Find someone to carry her out." ”
"Yes." The nurse immediately went to ask someone to carry Su'e out.
Anyway, Xiao Haitang's side, after messing around with Qiuxia for a while, is about to sleep.
But she had something on her mind, and she was thinking about how to perfectly solve the matter of the prince's struggle for the crown.
For a moment, she felt like her grandfather was cheating on them.
Grandma is right, you shouldn't get involved in their troubled waters.
She couldn't sleep at night, and seeing that Qiuxia had already slept, she went to the yard to breathe, wanting to be sober and think about countermeasures.
As soon as she reached the courtyard, she heard a creak in the silent night, the sound of the door opening.
During the day, this sound is not audible, but at night it is very noticeable.
She was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misheard, and she rested and stared to hear what else was going on.
However, the sound just now was like an illusion.
She didn't dare to be careless, couldn't it be that those thieves came to make things bad again?
Thinking of this, she jumped onto the wall, looked left and right and saw nothing, but there was a strange condensation in the air.
She waited for a while, and when she heard the door next door open again, she quickly hid her body and saw two people carrying things out.
She quietly followed.
I followed the two men all the way, and when I saw that they had actually left the palace, I came to the moat with ease, threw the thing into the river, turned around and left.
Murder and dumping corpses.
How dare anyone kill someone in the palace?
No, who's living next door? It seems to be her little aunt, Princess Qinqing.
The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
She had the audacity to kill someone in the palace?
When Xiao Haitang waited for them to go away, he went to the river and prepared to go into the water to catch people.
But she didn't expect a hand to hold her, and when she looked back, it turned out to be Shuhuan and their brothers.
"Sister, let's come." Shuhuan dragged the little begonia to the shore as he spoke.
Qi Xuan was afraid that she would come forward, so he reached out and grabbed her.
Shuhuan went into the water himself and fished up the palace maid.
Xiao Haitang hurriedly stepped forward to touch her pulse and said, "The person is not dead yet." ”
Ling Rui said, "Let's go back first." ”
So, they picked them up and went back first.
On the way back, Su'e woke up.
She sobbed, and Little Begonia lowered her voice and said, "We just fished you out of the river, don't make any noise if you don't want to die." ”
Su E was trembling all over, her body was painful and cold, and she was scared in her heart.
Shuhuan and they carried people to the yard where Xiao Haitang lived, Qiuxia woke up and didn't see Xiao Haitang, and was anxious, seeing that several of them came back over the wall.
She hurriedly welcomed people in.
"Let's change her clothes first." Little Begonia said.
Qiu Xia hurriedly went in to help her change her clothes, and Xiao Haitang asked Shuhuan to go back to change her clothes quickly, leaving Qi Xuan to speak.
She asked why Qi Xuan was following her.
The prayer replied truthfully that they were afraid that someone would turn against them, so they divided into two shifts to keep vigil.
One person guards his father and mother, and one person guards the little begonias.
One person keeps watch for the first half of the night, and one for the second half of the night.
When Ling Rui saw Xiao Haitang out of the yard, he called the other brothers to follow him.
When Xiao Haitang heard them say this, her heart warmed and asked, "Is this idea what you think?" ”
Qi Xuan didn't speak.
Xiao Haitang said: "There has been no news from those six people, they will not do it for the time being, and the most likely time to do it is the Shangyuan Festival, so during this time, you don't have to work so hard, you go back to sleep first." ”
"Hmm." Qi Xuan nodded.
What Xiao Haitang said was similar to what he thought, but it was about the lives of his father and sister, and he didn't dare to be careless.
In this deep palace, there are dangers everywhere, and you must be careful, and it is better to take precautions than to make amends.
Although my sister didn't encounter any danger tonight, they were able to help my sister, and it was a reward for their efforts.
After Xiao Haitang sent away the prayer announcement, he came back to see Su'e.
