"Second brother, what do you think?"
Three years later, the little girl of the Xiao family put on her old clothes again, holding a sword in her hand and looking very heroic.
"Okay, little sister, you are exactly the same as before, not at all... changed."
When Xiao Shaoxia first saw his little sister who had changed into a military uniform, his eyes really lit up, and he looked up and down happily and gratifiedly. But when his eyes fell on Xiao Xiaomei's obviously bigger belly, his heart suddenly thumped.
Although he was still saying compliments on his lips, he was already thinking about how he could find an opportunity to take his little sister home and not let her stay in this palace anymore.
After all, she is the daughter of my Xiao family in Jinling. Now for no reason, she has assumed someone else's identity and become the notorious princess of Prince Le. She is also pregnant.
If parents knew about it, they wouldn't know whether they should be happy or sad...
"Second brother, I've been bored to death lately. Why don't I just change into these clothes and let's go out and have some fun in Jiangcheng."
Xiao Xiaomei may have finally met her family and felt particularly friendly. In addition, Prince Le has been ill recently, so she hasn't seen anyone for several days.
It is inevitable that I feel a little frustrated and depressed.
"Okay, okay, do whatever you want, little sister."
Xiao Shaoxia shook his head with a wry smile. His girl has been naughty since she was a child. She dared not listen even to her parents' preaching. Her two brothers also pampered her since she was a child, thus developing her lawless temper.
"Haha, second brother still loves me."
Xiao Mei smiled and was about to run out. She didn't look like a woman who was more than three months pregnant, but she still looked like a child who hadn't grown up yet.
"Hey, don't be so anxious. Little sister, you have to be careful and watch your stomach!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Mei jumping down from the three-story steps, and then rushed out like a gust of wind, saying as she ran:
"Second brother, let's see who can run faster..."
Xiao Shaoxia followed helplessly, but just a few steps out, he saw his little sister frozen at the door of the yard like a puppet on strings.
"What's wrong? Why didn't you run away? Or did you plan to..."
Before Xiao Shaoxia finished speaking, he looked past his little sister and saw Prince Le standing at the door of the courtyard with an indifferent expression.
He stopped and did not pass.
"You...are you healed?"
Xiao Mei looked away with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at Prince Le who was suddenly full of life and seemed to have recovered from all his illnesses.
"Um."
Prince Le simply replied with one word.
There was no smile on his face, and even his eyebrows seemed to be shrouded in a cold evil aura, which made people uncomfortable.
If Xiao Mei knew, Prince Le had just ordered the death of fifty servants in his mansion. Many of them were old people who had worked for many years. They fell into the hands of the blind man with their eyes wide open.
Most of these people are secret spies, and the most hidden among them is the housekeeper who has served Prince Le for five years. He is a confidant of an important minister in the capital. Over the years, he has been secretly spying on various things in Prince Le's mansion until Le Prince The prince pretended to be ill and temporarily handed over all his powers to the butler, which allowed him to show his fox tail.
This person can often be cautious and fight to the death in times of adversity, but once things go well, he may not be defeated by his enemies, but by his own pride and complacency.
However, the person who set up the trap was Prince Le. He eliminated many cancers in the family in one go and finally calmed down the restless Prince Le's Mansion.
He packed everything up and then came to see Xiao Mei, and then he bumped into her at the door.
Xiao Xiaomei took a step back as if she was a little scared, and she made a random excuse and said:
"I'm a little sleepy and want to take a rest outside..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. She was just asking for it! What do you mean by wanting to rest outside? How can you rest outside?
Ouch! Xiao Linger, you are such an idiot!
Xiao Mei secretly called her name, almost stamping her feet in anger at the random words she just said. She opened her mouth a few more times, but she really didn't know how to explain the random nonsense she just said.
"oh?"
Prince Le still didn't speak. He simply raised his eyebrows. His face was still calm and his eyes were fake, without any emotion at all.
He didn't move, but the woman in front of him took a step back.
Xiao Shaoxia, who was standing not far away, had already turned around and gone back. Although he also wanted to take care of it, as the saying goes, it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs, so let them solve it themselves.
Seeing that his fearless little sister looked weak and vulnerable, Xiao Shaoxia couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's really a bit of a tofu - one thing reduces another!
My sister is going to be eaten to death.
"I just want to..."
Xiaomei twisted her two fingers together, looking like a good baby who would correct her mistakes even though she did something wrong.
"You and your second brother go home."
Prince Le looked at the woman lowering her head to admit her mistake. Normally, he would have smiled, but today was an exception.
His voice was soft, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"go home?"
The woman raised her head and looked at the familiar face she had faced for three years. Her usually straightforward mind did not understand the meaning of Lord Le's words for a moment.
There was confusion, confusion, and even more confusion in her eyes.
"Yes, go back to the Xiao family in Jinling."
Prince Le nodded, and while seeing the joy coming out of the woman's eyes, he continued:
"Be your little sister of the Xiao family."
"Well, I'm going to see my parents, my eldest brother and my sister-in-law whom I haven't met before, and then I'll come back after seeing my little chubby nephew who was just born..."
Xiao Mei cried with joy, and she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. How could a girl who had been away from home for three years not miss her home, parents and brothers?
The next words of Prince Coke made her smile freeze directly on her face:
"You don't have to come back."
No need to come back? What does this mean? She is his princess. She has spent three years with him, and she can no longer remember how many storms they have experienced together.
"How could I not come back? I am your princess, and..."
As the woman spoke, she touched her belly, which was clearly exposed. She was already a mother, and the life in her belly was the crystallization of the bond and love between two people.
"The child will miss his father."
When she said this, she pouted her already red cheeks and boldly glared at the indifferent Prince Le across from him. She didn't know whether the look in her eyes was reproach or annoyance.
"As for the children..."
When Prince Le spoke, he deliberately looked away, lowered his eyebrows, and his dark pupils were deeper than a starless and moonless night.
"Kill him."
"What did you say!"
Xiao Xiaomei's shyness was suddenly thrown out of the sky. She was like a flower that was like spring all year round and was suddenly thrown into an ice cave filled with snow.
Her eyes widened and she looked at the biological father of the child in her belly with anger.
"Beat the child, go back with your second brother, and be your little sister Xiao again."
Prince Le looked at the woman in front of him who was as furious as an angry lion. His eyes were still cold, and the words coming out of his mouth were even colder than the falling snow in the middle of winter.
"What do you mean! What do you want to do?"
The woman stepped forward and grabbed Lord Le's front collar with both hands. Even though she was pregnant, beating Lord Le, who didn't know martial arts, was a piece of cake.
"I want you to go, get out of here."
Prince Le showed no fear at all. He even waved his hand at the blind man who came over, telling him to go back and not disturb the two of them.
"You want to drive me away? Have you gained something and gone crazy? You told me back then..."
The woman's hands were so hard that her knuckles turned pale.
She suppressed the rage boiling in her heart and the unsatisfied tears in her eyes, and asked Prince Le loudly.
"Yes, I said I needed you at the beginning..."
Prince Le looked at the tearful woman in front of him, his eyes as indifferent as if she were looking at a toy, and he said word by word:
"Now, I don't need you."
Click.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue, splitting the woman's whole body into pieces, and her whole body was as stunned as a piece of wood.
"Okay, after you understand what I said, just leave with your brother."
Prince Le took out a red pill from his sleeve robe and handed it to Xiao Mei, shaking it deliberately to prevent the other party from seeing it.
"Take the medicine."
Xiao Xiaomei almost subconsciously took the small pill. She looked at the medicine in her hand blankly and asked:
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Prince Le did not reply, but Xiao Mei quickly understood what the medicine was.
She clenched her fist hard and crushed the pill into powder. She had already put her hand to her mouth, but suddenly she sprinkled it hard, and the powder of the medicine blew away in the wind.
"The child is mine and has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Mei couldn't stop the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she still maintained a stubborn look and spilled all the powder in her hand.
Then immediately after, there was a snap.
She hit the man standing in front of her on the face hard, not only making a loud and clear sound, but also directly slapped Prince Le to the ground.
"Jiang Changan, I hate you!"
The woman walked out angrily.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Shaoxia came out and took a look. When he saw his little sister's leaving back, he quickly chased her out.
Prince Le on the ground did not get up. Instead, he lay on his back with a sigh of relief. He even reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty..."
It wasn't until the moon was above the treetops that the clear light like flowing water shone down, shining on the people on the ground. Only then did the blind man dare to cautiously come over to say hello.
"They've left the city."
Only then did Prince Le get up. The blood at the corner of his mouth had already condensed into brown scabs.
"Okay, let me know, we can start."
The next day, white lanterns were hung up in Lewang Mansion. Many servants of the palace went to buy funeral paper money and white mourning flags early in the morning, and then the inside and outside of the palace were wrapped in white like snow.
The people in Jiangcheng were very sad. Many people voluntarily put on mourning clothes. Every household took down all the original celebration items. No one sang in the Goulan House in the city, and even the small merchants selling things on the road stopped singing. Don't yell.
Because... Princess Le passed away.
