Chapter 176: Assassination
Since Xiao Rongzhan left the house, there have been no guests in Prince Duan's mansion, and Zhao Kezhen only lives in a small courtyard on her side, and wandering in the back garden on weekdays is the farthest way she has walked.
When Xiao Rongshen came, Zhao Kezhen was sitting in the garden admiring chrysanthemums, and she remembered a poem by chance: Autumn chrysanthemums at the end of the night. Looking at the colorful flowers in the courtyard, I was stunned for a while, and asked the maid to take a few pieces, wash them, and want to taste them. The taste of the petals is more or less similar, all of them are faint, and there is some astringency of plants.
Zhao Kezhen felt that it was not delicious, and thought of a kind of fried flower that she had eaten when she was a child playing under the overpass, and asked someone to pinch the whole chrysanthemum, wash it, wrap it in starch, and put it in boiling oil and fry it. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper or chopped peanuts. Once you taste it this way, it tastes much better.
Zhao Kezhen was eating, and someone brought Xiao Rongshen into the house. Xiao Rongshen looked down at the golden chrysanthemums fried on the plate, and felt interesting. Zhao Kezhen asked him to taste it, so he also sat down and ate one, the taste was quite novel, in short, no one had ever done this before.
All fried and eaten, always feel greasy, the little girls made two ice bowls of yogurt, added some fresh fruits, with sweet and bitter chrysanthemum petals, from the appearance is unique.
"Princess Duan is really Yaxing, even this little flower can conjure up so many ways to eat. ”
Zhao Kezhen flicked the bowl with a spoon: "It's a pity, it's not as good as some people, they can make a flower tea or something, and it is easy to make the princes happy." I'm just carving insect skills, so I'm just amusing myself. ”
Xiao Rongshen lowered his eyelids, Zhao Kezhen's words were full of vinegar, and the fool also knew that she was talking about Wei Yuanxi, but Xiao Rongshen only didn't know: "Who is Princess Duan talking about? Who can be more clever than you Princess Duan's heart?"
Seeing that Xiao Rongshen took a bite of ice cheese, Zhao Kezhen sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”
As soon as she said this, Xiao Rongshen put down the bowl and thought of Yuan Xi. It's a hard book to read.
"What's the matter?, did you quarrel with the second child?" Xiao Rongshen asked knowingly.
Zhao Kezhen's eyes showed a trace of compassion, and she didn't know whether to sympathize with Xiao Rongshen or herself: "Quarrel? Our prince is afraid that he is crazy in Donglin, where does he remember that there is a Duan prince's mansion in the capital, and where does he remember that there is me, the princess Duan?"
Xiao Rongshen laughed secretly in his heart, no wonder Zhao Kezhen was so depressed. The second child has been back in the capital for so many days, and I am afraid that he has not even entered the door of the palace. Xiao Rongshen pretended to be wondering: "What's the matter?
Zhao Kezhen looked at him as if looking at a fool. Prince Duan was on an errand in Donglin, and he didn't have the emperor's edict, what did he do when he came back? But it was not good to be too rude, so Zhao Kezhen hummed lightly.
"You didn't come back this time?" Xiao Rongshen asked again.
"This time?" Zhao Kezhen raised her head suddenly: "What this time?"
"Well, when I didn't say that. Xiao Rong wanted to get away with it, so he bought a pass.
Zhao Kezhen really hit the plan, and asked the bottom of the question: "The prince has returned to Beijing?"
Xiao Rongshen pretended to be speechless and sighed: "This second child is too disagreeable, he is also a family person, why is he still like a child?
Zhao Kezhen sneered self-deprecatingly, looking down at the delicacies on the table, unpleasant to eat. It turned out that he had been back to Beijing for a long time, but he didn't tell himself. Is she an outsider? Is the princess a stranger living in his house?
"Why didn't he come back?" Zhao Kezhen asked with hatred.
"This ...... It's hard to say, Xu is too busy, Donglin's affairs are complicated and lengthy, enough for him to have a pot with Sect Master Wei, brother and sister, you are married to the second child now, or do you understand more?"
Sect Master Wei? Zhao Kezhen snorted, sure enough, it was her, besides her, who else would Xiao Rongzhan be stumped by? Zhao Kezhen stood up: "Prepare the car, go to the Kyoto Post House." ”
"Yo, brother and sister, you must be impulsed, this second child may be too busy, after this busy time, he will naturally come back to see you, you ......" He sighed: "I originally meant to come to see you for the second child, why does it seem that I am sowing discord?"
"Brother Emperor, don't worry, I understand your kindness, I won't say that you told me this, but I won't let go of Wei Yuanxi, a slut, easily. Zhao Kezhen glanced at the maid with a cold eyebrow: "Send the king of Hejun back to his house." ”
Zhao Kezhen didn't have a good impression of Yuan Xi, and as soon as Xiao Rongshen provoked it, it was like a spark falling into a haystack, and it was a fire in an instant. Xiao Rongshen saw that his goal had been achieved, so he just pretended to regret a few words of appeasement, and left in a hurry.
Sending Xiao Rongshen away, Zhao Kezhen's carriage has been prepared at the gate of the palace. originally thought that Zhao Kezhen was just going to spread his temper and make a situation of children raiding his house, but later, Zhao Kezhen took a sword from Xiao Rongzhan's study, and the little maid understood the crisis of this situation.
The little maid thought for a while, went out and called a carriage, and hurried to Zhao Shangshu's mansion, who else could stop this farce except Zhao Shangshu at this time?
The Guanyi is an important place for the imperial court to receive officials from other provinces, and it is natural that it will be heavily guarded. But Zhao Kezhen is Prince Duan's princess after all, and the soldiers also know that Prince Duan lives in it, so they don't dare to stop it. It's just Zhao Kezhen's saber, the soldiers looked inappropriate and wanted her to stay.
Zhao Kezhen's eyes were horizontal: "Do you dare to detain the sword that the prince asked for?"
Since this sword is used by the prince, there is naturally nothing wrong with it. So Zhao Kezhen rushed to Yuanxi's room with the sword. Yuan Xi has been so busy with the affairs of the Wei Mansion these days that his feet do not touch the ground, and he is staying in the Wei Mansion, so the room is empty, and he can't even find a maid.
Zhao Kezhen didn't find Yuan Xi, she was a little depressed, turned around and came out, and saw Rong Zhan who was walking upstairs slowly.
As soon as Rong Zhan raised his head, he took a look at Zhao Kezhen, and then glanced to the right, and found that Yuan Xi's door was open, and Zhao Kezhen was carrying a sword. What is she going to do, it is self-evident at this time, Rong Zhan's eyes suddenly widened: "Presumptuous." ”
"Are you presumptuous? I'm still presumptuous today! I only allow you, the filthy presley lord, to hook up outside, and even the daughter of a lowly businessman, so I won't be allowed to care?" Zhao Kezhen stared, she didn't expect that she would say such uneducated words in her life, but she was angry at this time, so she didn't care about so much.
Rong Zhan frowned, only to feel that she was becoming more and more irrational: "What are you doing with your sword, who do you want to kill?"
"I want to kill you both!" Zhao Kezhen shouted viciously, raising his sword and slashing at Rong Zhan.
"You are a dignified prince, you don't live in the palace, but you came to live with that shameless slut! What do you call the people in the capital to think of me?"
Zhao Kezhen was also aggrieved in her heart, she married Xiao Rongzhan, thinking that she was married to love, but she didn't expect to marry, but it was to watch other people's love.
"Who do you say is shameless?!" Rong Zhan was furious and pushed her hard. Rong Zhan stood on the stairs, but Zhao Kezhen pushed upstairs. Zhao Kezhen fell on her back, but she was still holding the sword tightly in her hand.
There was a sound of light footsteps in the stairwell, and Zhao Kezhen's eyes were like cats, and she suddenly stood up, emitting green light.
Won-hee didn't know what was going on upstairs, she just came back to get something. Halfway through, I saw Rong Zhan standing on the stairs on the upper floor, looking at him in horror.
She looked up again and found that Zhao Kezhen was wide-eyed and angry. When a person kills the red eye, it is the most terrifying, and Yuan Xi involuntarily Queen took two steps back.
"Yuan Xi run!" Rong Zhan shouted.
Yuan Xi subconsciously ran downstairs, and the sound of Zhao Kezhen crackling on the stairs came from upstairs. Rong Zhan stopped in the middle, naturally unwilling to let Zhao Kezhen catch up with Yuan Xi. Zhao Kezhen was in a hurry to chase Yuanxi, so she fought with Rong Zhan. Zhao Kezhen is holding a sword in her hand, plus she is a madman at this time, and there is no way to beat people. As the saying goes, punch the master to death. Rong Zhan was also in a hurry to deal with it, Zhao Kezhen was angry, and he stabbed with his sword.
This is probably the most accurate sword that Zhao Kezhen has stabbed in his life, impartial, and it is two inches above Rong Zhan's heart. Rong Zhan froze, and blood gushed out and splashed on Zhao Kezhen's face. Rong Zhan was in pain and went down. Zhao Kezhen held the sword in his hand, and before he could help him, Rong Zhan rolled down the stairs and fell at the corner of the stairs.
Won-hee heard a noisy noise above, followed by Zhao Kezhen's hysterical screams. Won-hee's heart sank, and he turned his head and ran back.
Rong Zhan's wound was still bleeding, Zhao Kezhen was squatting on the stairs in a daze, Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support Rong Zhan, took off his handkerchief to hold the wound for him, and shouted: "Why don't you go and call someone soon?"
Zhao Kezhen was frightened, and she couldn't understand what Yuan Xi said. Fortunately, Zhao Shangshu was led by the little maid at this time, and when he saw this situation, he guessed about eight or nine points, Zhao Shangshu's face sank, and he ordered his subordinates to quickly send Rong Zhan back to the palace for treatment.
Zhao Kezhen's body trembled like chaff, and finally, with a sigh, she took off her sword. She touched her face, and Rong Zhan's blood had become sticky. She lowered her head, saw the blood on her hands, and couldn't help but cry.
Zhao Shangshu glanced at Yuan Xi, but still lowered his head, and arched his hand: "The old minister sees Sect Master Wei." ”
Yuan Xi was also a little flustered, and when Rong Zhan told her to run, she ran away. It's because she never imagined that Zhao Kezhen would stab the sword at Rong Zhan. If she had known that this would happen, she would have preferred that the person who was stabbed at that time was herself.
Looking up at Zhao Shangshu, Yuan Xi sneered: "Lord Zhao, Your Excellency is really a goddaughter." ”
Zhao Shangshu looked down at Zhao Kezhen with a dark face. Whether it is the assassination of the sect master or the assassination of the prince, it is a big crime to exterminate the clan, and Zhao Shangshu will not be unaware of the stakes. He lowered his head and shouted, "You brute, why don't you go back to the palace to take care of the prince?"
