Youth Courtyard.
"Has Your Majesty not dealt with King Xuan yet?"
Although it was late at night, Chu Yi was neatly dressed and had not rested. Now she had no time to rest at all and there were still many things to do.
"Not yet," Yuexiang shook her head, "Although it is indeed unpleasant to hear this matter spread, after all, it is just a Qianqian who died, so it is nothing. Even if His Majesty knew those things and was furious, so what? How could it really be true? Would you be willing to punish the son you once loved so much?"
"Then this is a bit difficult to handle. Since His Highness and him have already broken up, there is no possibility of repairing it. If we can't move him this time, it will be difficult in the future!"
Chu Yi was a little irritable and didn't even want to drink tea. Her eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes.
"When His Highness brought Qian Qian back, he thought he would be able to give King Xuan a heavy blow, but he didn't expect that His Majesty has reached this stage and still favors him. Even if Qian Qian dies, it will have no weight."
Yuexiang sighed, His Highness has been either in the palace or in the East Palace these days, so busy that he has no time to return to the palace.
"Qianqian is just a commoner no matter what. If he dies, he dies! It's been so long since the incident in Wan County. No matter how angry your Majesty is, no matter how hard you pursue it, the dead people can't come back alive. This I'm afraid His Highness may have overestimated the weight of Qianqian!"
Chu Yi closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with both hands. She really felt a headache.
"Since Qianqian's weight is not enough, what if it's someone else?"
Yuexiang suddenly had an idea.
"What do you mean?"
Chu Yi still closed her eyes and did not open them. In fact, she knew what Yuexiang wanted to say, because she had already had this idea before, but she did not expect that it would be used for another purpose now.
"The one who died was Qianqian. His Majesty felt that it had no weight. If it were another person who died, then King Xuan would be really bold! How can Your Majesty tolerate him again and again? At that time, only His Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince With more force, can't we completely crush King Xuan?"
Yuexiang smiled and said, more importantly, the princess will be truly happy only when the annoying person is gone.
In fact, what can't be seen? The reason why the princess wants to embarrass her at every turn is that she keenly feels that her existence is a threat.
Since it is a threat, of course it must be removed!
"It seems that when Princess Xuan came here, what I said intentionally or unintentionally should have an effect. It's so unfair to bear these accusations and curses even though I didn't kill anyone. If I was extremely angry, wouldn't it be true? Do you want to kill people to vent your anger?"
Chu Yi opened her eyes and suddenly smiled.
…
Chu Xin still hasn't fallen asleep. It's already the tenth day. There seems to be no news. Xiao Zhi hasn't come back either. I don't know what will happen outside.
Chu Yi had not come since the last time. When Lu Lu came to deliver food every day, she also closed her mouth tightly and stopped talking.
This feeling is really hopeless, as if I have been abandoned by the world. I am so confused that I don’t know what is happening outside. I go to the window every day to watch the sun rise and set, and write down how many days have passed.
Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the window. Chu Xin quickly got up from the bed, her heart was pounding and she felt a little uneasy.
Suddenly I heard another sound, and my uneasy feeling became deeper and deeper. I ran out of bed without even bothering to put on my shoes. I strode to the door and wanted to push it open, but the door seemed to be locked today!
what happened?
Although she was not allowed to go out these days, the door was not locked. During the day, people would only be posted in front of the door. Why was the door locked today?
Chu Xin pushed the door hard, but it still couldn't be pushed open. It was already late at night, and the people guarding the door had all gone to rest. What was the noise on the other side of the window?
"Can someone open the door quickly?"
Chu Xin slammed the door hard and shouted outside that she couldn't care less. The uneasy feeling was getting stronger and stronger. She didn't want to stay in this room alone.
"Is there anyone?"
Chu Xin yelled at the top of her lungs, but there was still no response. Or maybe she just pretended not to hear it. Don't you understand how she's been treated these days?
As long as Xiao Zhi is not in the house, Chu Yi is the one who calls the shots.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Chu Xin got tired and squatted on the ground, as if the sound from the window had disappeared, as if she had heard wrongly just now.
Maybe it was just a joke?
Or maybe someone heard what she yelled just now, and just pretended that she was still going crazy and wanted to go out, and pretended not to hear it.
It's autumn now, and it's getting colder day by day. I didn't even wear shoes when I got out of bed just now, and I felt cold on the soles of my feet.
I don't know how long it took, but a smoke pipe quietly stretched out from the gap in the window. After the initial shock, I could only fall into a light sleep and fell asleep quickly.
When he woke up, he found that he was blindfolded and his hands were tied behind his back. It felt like he was in a carriage.
When she noticed that she had woken up, someone immediately strangled her neck, "You'd better be honest! You can also suffer less before you die!"
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? You dare to kidnap me!"
Chu Yi couldn't see anything at the moment, but she felt that the carriage was moving forward quickly, and her heart became more and more panicked.
"If you were not King Xuan's concubine, why would my Highness vent your anger today?"
The person who was choking her neck seemed to have heard something very funny, and laughed a few times after saying it.
"Is your Highness King Xuan? How dare King Xuan kill people again and again in Prince Xiang's Mansion!"
Chu Xin immediately thought of Qianqian's tragic situation that day, "Didn't we kill enough people last time? Aren't we afraid that Your Majesty will find out? Can Your Majesty forgive King Xuan again and again?"
Chu Xin often stayed in Qixia Courtyard and didn't know much about the things outside, but occasionally she could hear a few words.
It is clear that now is the time when His Majesty is seriously ill, and it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who should inherit the throne, but King Xuan wants to intervene again, so the two of them are hostile.
Your Majesty must have known what Qianqian said last time, so it was because of this that King Xuan sent people to the palace to kill Qianqian, but he still felt that it was not enough and wanted to kill himself, his concubine?
"you shut up!"
The man seemed to be angry and slapped Chu Xin so hard that he collapsed to the ground and had no strength to get up.
"My Highness obviously did not kill anyone, but he was scolded by this shit basin. Anyway, he was scolded. Why not really kill someone to vent his anger? You are the concubine of Prince Xiang. I heard that he likes you very much, so I will kill you. Only after I got him did I know the pain, and only then did I know that I shouldn’t go against my Highness!”
Chu Xin gasped and really didn't understand how she had become Xiao Zhi's favorite person. How did they see it? They had never seen each other several times in more than a year. ?
And what do you mean by not killing anyone just now? Wasn't it Qianqian who King Xuan sent someone to kill? Then who killed Qianqian?
"Even if you want to kill someone to vent your anger, it doesn't matter if you kill one of my concubines! Without me as the concubine, King Xiang still has other concubines. If you want to kill, shouldn't you kill the princess! Or even killing people is bullying the weak and fearing the strong, just Dare you come at me?"
It's now reached a point where no one dares to look for Chu Yi, but only himself.
Chu Xin really wanted to cry but had no tears. She shouted unwillingly. Her eyes were still dark and she couldn't see anything.
"You bitch, that mouth is really powerful. I want to see if you can still be this powerful after a while!"
Originally, his master was troubled now, and he seemed to have expected the outcome, but no matter what, he would drag others into the water even if he died, and kicked Chu Xin hard.
"What I said was wrong. Your master is King Xuan. It's no big deal to kill someone to vent your anger. But if you don't dare to kill a more valuable person, why don't you dare to kill the princess! You will come after me no matter what!"
Chu's heart trembled with pain, but she still shouted unwillingly.
Why is all this happening?
The person who truly enjoys status and rights is Chu Yi. Why did she pull herself out as a scapegoat now? Why did she say that Xiao Zhi's favorite person was her? Who could tell it through her eyes?
It's obviously an excuse to bully the weak and fear the strong. Isn't it just that if Chu Yi is really killed, there will be a bigger disturbance? Killing a side wife is not a big or small matter, and it can be advanced or retreated!
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. His Royal Highness King Xuan has already sent someone to notify King Xiang. As long as he can come to save you, you will be alive. Do you think he will come?"
"Since you have made it clear that you want me to die, why are you still doing these messy tricks? I am just a concubine, why do you think he will come to save me? If the person tied up today is the princess, then maybe Come on!"
Chu Xin smiled bitterly and said sarcastically, it had been almost a month since she had seen Xiao Zhi, why would she come here at this time? Do she care about her own life?
"If you don't come, I will listen to my prince's order and push you down the cliff to die without any body! Killing Prince Xiang's woman can be considered as venting your anger! If you let him follow the prince on weekdays, you must give him a taste of the power. !”
The man seemed to be still angry and kicked Chu Xin again.
"Today's matter must not be that simple. Why did Dudu have to let Xiao Zhi come over? Do you have any other conspiracies? Do you have anything else to plot!"
After receiving another kick on his body, Chu felt extremely hurt, but he could still hear something was wrong in these words. The goal today was probably not to kill him, but to get Xiao Zhi to come over. What was the purpose of this?
"I see that King Xiang will probably not come here today. I'm afraid you will definitely die!" The man smiled sarcastically.
"Last night, news came that His Majesty is critically ill. Prince Xiang and His Royal Highness have been staying by His Majesty's side, so how could they have time to come over? If it hadn't been for the incident in Wan County, my Highness would naturally be able to compete with His Majesty, so The death of Xiao Qian you mentioned is considered retribution! Who told her to talk too much!"
Hearing these words, Chu Xin's heart sank completely to the bottom.
If it was something else, there would still be a chance of taking a gamble, but if it was because of this, then there was no need to think about it, Xiao Zhi really wouldn't come over.
