The one who knocks on the door is adding incense.
"What's important?" Qin Xiangxiang didn't want to see Mu Ting.
But I heard Tian Xiang say outside: "Hey, hey, Prince Mu, why did you come in..."
Qin Xiangxiang's heart skipped a beat when she heard Mu Ting say from outside: "Madam, the matter is urgent. If I have offended, please punish me later."
Qin Xiangxiang's curiosity was suddenly aroused. Regardless of whether he had washed or combed his hair, he opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
Mu Ting looked at her intently and said softly, "The eldest princess has passed away."
The eldest princess is dead! ?
So what should Princess Huizhen do? This was the thought that came to Qin Xiangxiang's mind.
"What's going on?" Qin Xiangxiang asked.
"Tell me on the way."
Qin Xiangxiang washed her face in a hurry, tied up her hair with her hairpin, and followed Mu Ting into the car.
By the time she realized that she and Mu Ting were the only ones in the car, the carriage had already driven out of the waterwheel alley.
Chen Ze is not here?
"Counsellor Chen has been performing rituals for Su Niang in Yizhuang these days. He plans to carry Su Niang's coffin back to his hometown before leaving the capital." Mu Ting said.
Qin Xiangxiang realized that he had asked about Chen Ze's whereabouts.
She looked at her toes: "Isn't the eldest princess in prison in Dali Temple? Why did she suddenly die? How did she die?"
"Suicide." Mu Ting's voice was very soft. "According to the female jailer, the eldest princess always had a very sharp hairpin hidden on her body. She used the hairpin to cut her wrist every day, drip blood into the water, and then drink it. Exhausted. It is said that the death of the eldest princess is very tragic. We are now going to pick up Princess Huizhen to see the eldest princess for the last time. It is Nangong Wenyue's order to pick you up to accompany your adopted sister."
Qin Xiangxiang was a little surprised: "The prince has cooperated with Nangong Wenyue?"
"Not really, it's just that everyone gets what they need." There seemed to be compromise in Mu Ting's tone.
Things in the capital seemed like a fog. He had tried very hard to clear the fog and get closer to the truth, but he was blocked by a new fog.
Nangong Wenyue said that he had an internal agent in Dali Temple, but just one day ago, the internal agent never sent any news.
But one day, the eldest princess died in prison.
Nangong Wenyue could not come forward, and Liao Haohai was still suspended from work for reflection. He was the only one who could enter Dali Temple to investigate the case openly.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't ask again, but thought about how to speak tactfully when he met Princess Huizhen later.
Although Princess Huizhen has more than one relative, the eldest princess is the only one who sincerely protects her.
Now that the eldest princess has suddenly fallen, who can protect Princess Huizhen from the wind and rain?
"Is your injury feeling better?" Mu Ting asked Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang raised his head blankly and looked at Mu Ting, with a little confusion in his eyes.
"Is your injury feeling better?" Mu Ting asked again. His voice was soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the deer foraging in the forest.
"It's much better now that Prince Lao cares about me." Qin Xiangxiang said dryly, politely and distantly.
Mu Ting sighed helplessly: "Madam, you don't have to be like this, we are single now..."
"Wait, not yet. Our two families haven't exchanged marriage certificates yet, and we are nothing now." Qin Xiangxiang resisted this topic.
A smile appeared in the corner of Mu Ting's eyes: "Then when we arrive in Yanzhou, the first thing we will do is exchange marriage certificates."
Qin Xiangxiang frowned and looked at him: "Prince Mu, please think clearly. Our Qin and Mu families have a life-and-death hatred. This marriage will never happen."
"Why can't it happen? I think it's great." Mu Ting said.
Qin Xiangxiang was a little angry: "Prince Mu, please think clearly, this marriage is not just playing house!"
"I have thought it through," Mu Ting said. "Those grudges are the business of our fathers, what do they have to do with us?"
"Why doesn't it matter? If your father sees me and reminds me of what my father did, and makes things difficult for me every now and then, will you stand by your father's side or mine?" Qin Xiangxiang wanted to break Mu Ting's side. head, filling it with her thoughts.
"So you're worried about this." Mu Ting suddenly realized, "Don't worry, I will definitely be on your side when the time comes."
Qin Xiangxiang was so angry that he wanted to stand up and stamp his feet: "Who can guarantee the future? Besides, your father doesn't like me. I will go back to Yanzhou with you. Whether I can survive to Yanzhou safely is another matter. Also, Chen Ze doesn't like me, and you know that. I am a man who will retaliate. If there is a chance, I will definitely take revenge when he framed me last time."
Mu Ting looked at Qin Xiangxiang in silence.
Qin Xiangxiang continued to persuade her sincerely: "If you marry me back, your life will be full of excitement and exhaustion. Are you willing to do this?"
Mu Ting continued to look at her silently, as if he was thinking about it seriously.
Qin Xiangxiang thought he had heard what she said, and was quietly relieved and secretly chuckling, but she heard Mu Ting say seriously: "But life is fun like this."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..." Is there something wrong with this person's mind? He actually likes days like that?
Mu Ting continued: "But Yanzhou is not as prosperous as the capital. It is close to the desert. I'm afraid you will find it boring by then."
Qin Xiangxiang gave a high-five: "Yes, I like the prosperity of the capital and don't want to go to such desolate places as Yanzhou."
"But you will live a prosperous life." Mu Ting looked at her seriously, "The Qin family restaurant was so dilapidated at first, but now it is full of people, full of life, and full of the smell of fireworks. I grew up in a military camp since I was a child. Although I have many brothers and friends around me, I have never seen a young lady as energetic as you. I often think that she must be very beautiful inside. "
Qin Xiangxiang felt goosebumps all over his body.
She couldn't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention that Mu Ting was very serious when he praised her.
The words of rejection that she had just stored in her stomach were turned over and over again, but she never said them out again.
It turned out that this was how he felt in Mu Ting's heart.
Quite shy.
She coughed, turned around and asked Yao Erlang who was driving: "Mr. Yao Erlang, are we almost here?"
She didn't expect that a triumphant smile would appear on Mu Ting's face.
Qin Xiangxiang met Lord Huizhen soon.
She was startled.
Sometimes sadness does make people grow up quickly.
Princess Huizhen's long hair, which she often wore loose, was tied up, revealing her pretty face. She was wearing a very plain dress with no dark lines and a pair of ordinary cloth shoes. She was standing under the eaves waiting for them. The princess who lived in the attic without being contaminated by dust has now been forced to fall to the earth.
"Sister-in-law, Mrs. Qin." Her voice was slightly hoarse and her eyes were red. She must have cried a lot.
But she is strong. Her waist was straight and she did not let Xiao Manchun Equinox support her.
Mu Ting nodded: "Although the eldest princess is no longer here, you still have us."
Princess Huizhen hummed and said no more.
Mu Ting gave the carriage to the ladies and went to ride the horse.
Xiaoman caught the opportunity and secretly told Qin Xiangxiang: "The news of the eldest princess's death was told to the princess by Wenyue Langjun. The princess couldn't bear it at first and fainted and cried. It was because Wenyuelang Jun pinched her hard. He is the one who wakes up by pinching him. Later, Mr. Wenyue Lang said a lot of unpleasant things to the princess. The princess listened while crying, and then she stopped crying. "
As expected of Nangong Wenyue's style. He often warned them that female spies could bleed, but not shed tears. If a person wants to harm you, he will not spare your life just because you shed a few tears.
But if he was really ruthless, he would not ask her to accompany Lord Huizhen.
Qin wanted to think about it, Nangong Wenyue was actually the most fickle person in the world.
Princess Huizhen's hard-earned strength completely collapsed after seeing the body of the eldest princess.
