Chapter 104: Hongmen Banquet
When Bai Ji heard her words, he just hooked his lips and smiled.
Madame taught her that she would rather fight with a wise man than say a word to a stupid dog.
"That's it." Xie Shu'er sneered and raised her eyes to look at her, "She can order someone close to her to come over, she must not have planned to keep me alive." β
"Let's do it." Xie Shu'er's eyes were calm, and she looked white and looked like a bad person.
Bai Ji didn't talk nonsense with Xie Shu'er, knelt down on one knee in front of her, his arm passed through her neck, locked his throat, and slowly exerted force.
A feeling of suffocation came to her heart, Xie Shu'er kicked her legs, grabbed the hay under her with her hands, and her voice became hoarse and ugly, "She...... There will be retribution! β
Xie Shu'er rolled her eyes and said hard, "I still have a brother, if the eldest brother knows about this, ...... I won't let you go! β
"Shizi?" Bai Ji tightened his arms, pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Save it, he has already gone down one step ahead of you, and he will die in my hands." β
Hearing this, Xie Shu'er's body was shocked, her eyelids drooped, and she never opened them again.
Bai Ji let go of his hand and got up, looking at the woman lying on the hay, the corners of his mouth raised a trace of sarcastic loneliness, "Self-depravity is such an end." β
After settling Xie Shu'er, Bai Ji turned around and went to the last second cell, and she was not so patient with Pei Heng.
A bottle of poison enters the abdomen, no matter how great his skills are, he will not be able to recover from the sky.

Duanyang Princess Mansion
Fang Xu held Su Zi's hand, slowly got out of the carriage, and stood still at the door.
The building in front of it is magnificent, the whole mansion is very large, the end is orderly, the four corners of the eaves are raised high, and the double dragon pattern is engraved.
The two walked to the front, and the government guard at the door checked the fold before letting the person into the house.
"Madam......" Su Zi held Fang Xu's hand and whispered, "I don't know why, the slave maid's heart is getting more and more bottomless. β
"Don't be afraid." Fang Xu patted her hand and said softly, "Just make a door, and it won't take two moments to return." β
While the two were talking, a maid ran out of the front yard, and when she saw Fang Xu, she quickly knelt down, "Are you Mrs. Yongcheng Hou?" β
Fang Xu looked at the red marks on her face and hummed softly, "It's me." β
The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, got up and responded, "The slave and maid are the green pears that Princess Hengyang is waiting for, and the lady can come today, the princess is happy, and she ordered a banquet to be prepared, and asked the lady to come with the slave and maid." β
As the words fell, the maidservant turned and left, her steps a little hurried.
Fang Xu and Su Zi glanced at each other, helpless.
Two quarters of an hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to go.
Walking along the bluestone brick-paved flower path, Fang Xu was taken to a house.
Fang Xu looked up, and there was a plaque hanging on the door, with the words "Feng Ya Room" written on it.
The maidservant pushed open the door of the house, gave herself to Fang Xu, and said softly, "Madame, please, the princess is waiting for you inside." β
Fang Xu bowed his head, stepped over the high threshold, and entered the house.
Compared with the outside, the furnishings in the house are only afraid that they are more than equal, there are eight golden dragon red pillars in the house, swirling and coiling, and the dragon's eyes are all made of high-quality glass beads, which is extremely extravagant.
What can be seen in the house is worth 100 gold to say the least, and even the porcelain vase on the elevated shelf at the door is a rare three-color color.
Fang Xu's gaze fell on the center, where a woman sat there.
The woman wore a vermilion gown and a flower crown on her head, kneeling at the table, holding an incense pan in her right hand, playing in the golden incense burner on the table, and the thin wisps of smoke floated up, reflecting her slightly heroic face.
The person on the other side also noticed Fang Xu, slowly put down the incense chopstick, the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, and a few wrinkles appeared on his face, "Mrs. Yongcheng is here." β
Fang Xu stepped forward and knelt down calmly, "The courtiers have seen Princess Duanyang, please Princess Wan'an." β
Duanyang saw that she was interested, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, "Yongcheng wait for Mrs. to get up, you don't have to be polite." β
"Princess Xie." Fang Xu slowly got up and stood in place.
"Come, please sit down."
The princess spoke, and Qingli stepped forward quickly and led Fang Xu to the first seat of the next head, which was on the right hand side of the princess.
"Since Mrs. Hou is here, let's pass the meal." Duanyang looked out the door and said quietly.
"Passing the mealβ"
The voice landed, and within a pot of tea, a row of maids and fish rushed in, all holding trays in their hands, and the dishes on the plates were dazzling, and there were more types than palace banquets.
Thinking of the door plaque outside, Fang Xu only felt sarcastic.
With this level of luxury, how can you afford the word elegance?
"Mrs. Hou doesn't have to be polite, this banquet is for you, just mention whatever you need." Duanyang smiled generously, but there was a knife hidden in his eyes.
Fang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at the gold bottle on the table, with amber wine dangling in it, "The courtiers thank the princess for her kindness." β
"I just don't know...... What is the matter with the princess ordering her courtiers to come today? β
Fang Xu made his words clear, provoking Duanyang's hand to pick up the vegetables.
Duanyang looked at her in surprise, smiled coldly after a while, and said in a low voice, "I thought that Mrs. Hou was a smart person, but I thought that I was so unbreathable." β
Duanyang put down his chopsticks and looked at Fang Xu, his lips raised slightly, "I heard that Yuan Yi was destroyed by you?" β
Fang Xu's face was calm, without any waves, "The princess is laughing, but it's just a rumor, how can you believe it?" β
"It's just me and you here, what else is it pretending to?" Duanyang looked at her with a smile and said softly, "To be honest, I admire you. β
"I didn't use a single soldier, just by opening my mouth, I ripped off the current prince." Duanyang sneered coldly, "It's also to blame that Yuan Yi is a complete calf, and he is short of scheming, how can he be the prince of the country?" β
Fang Xu only listened to her, his eyebrows lowered, and he was silent.
Duanyang sat on the top and looked at Fang Xu with a smile, "I'm curious, whose team are you standing on, and who are you selling your life for?" β
If it weren't for the backing behind her, where would a little lady have the courage to attack the prince?
Fang Xu raised his eyes and said coldly, "The princess is cautious, the courtiers have no intention of this. β
"You don't have to be nervous, I won't do anything to you." Duanyang leaned back slightly, his eyes full of smiles, "On the contrary, I admire you very much." β
"If you wish, you can come under my command."
Hearing this, Fang Xu's body froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She didn't expect ...... This Duanyang princess actually has this kind of thought!
"Princess, forgive the courtiers for being stupid, I don't know what the princess means." Fang Xu lowered his head, covered his emotions, and pretended to be calm.
"Really?" Duanyang hooked his lips, his eyes were deep, "You really don't know?" β
Fang Xu's breathing slowed down a little, and he slowly spoke, "You are already the eldest princess now, enjoying all the glory, why bother...... What about taking risks? β
Duanyang chuckled, raised his hand to pick up the bamboo chopsticks, and crushed the tofu in the bowl, his tone was calm, "When my father was alive, many people were eyeing that son, and then when the monarch was seriously ill, the brothers made a hundred moves, and everyone was in danger. β
"I'm the one I'm the least afraid of, because whoever gets my wish is a princess." Duanyang raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xu with a smile.
"But now I don't think so, instead of being a princess for the rest of my life, it's better to fight for myself."
"Mrs. Hou, would you like to help?"
