Yun Zishu looked up and saw that in the hexagonal pavilion not far ahead, Huangfu Chuchu and two women were sitting opposite each other. There were various refreshments on the table in front of them.
She was about to walk over when she suddenly heard a woman's low voice from the other side: "Is this the Crown Princess, the legitimate princess from Dayong?"
"Obviously, she is dressed so ostentatiously, as if she is afraid that others will not know her identity..." The woman in a lake blue flowing dress said disdainfully, "She is just a thief who stole the crown princess's position, what is there to be proud of?
of?"
Yun Zishu turned her head and looked at the two people standing on the corridor talking. The other person met her gaze and felt guilty for a moment. Then he looked back at her expressionlessly, his eyes full of provocation.
Yun Zishu asked with interest: "Who are those two people?"
"One is Princess Yan of Prince Cheng's Mansion, and the other is Queen An Xian of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Xianglan lowered her head and said, "Princess Cheng prefers Miss Wang to be her daughter-in-law and has already made a marriage arrangement, so Princess Yan and Miss Wang are still sisters-in-law.
relation."
Yun Zishu nodded clearly. As expected, the formation of cliques in the DPRK was accomplished through marriage. This was the most direct method.
However, the reason for forming cliques is for the crown prince's position. Now that the prince has returned, if the Minister of Civil Affairs has any brains, he will definitely consider whether to continue this marriage relationship.
Yun Zishu gave a faint sigh and walked towards the pavilion where Huangfu Chuchu was.
"Are you the princess from Dayong?" A woman in blue and plain clothes stood in front of her and looked at Yun Zishu coldly.
Leng Yue and Leng Shuang frowned, looking at this woman with ill-intentioned intentions. The dangerous aura made them instantly alert.
Yun Zishu looked at her calmly: "Who are you?"
Xianglan said: "Your Highness the Crown Princess, she is Situ Shuang, the concubine of the Situ family, the frost of ice."
Situ Shuang?
Yun Zishu turned around and looked, but did not see Situ Wan.
Although Situ Shuang's posture seemed like she didn't need anyone to support her, and she seemed to be a loner, Yun Zishu still didn't understand how stupid the Situ family were to dare to show up in front of so many people.
, brazenly clamoring that the position of Crown Princess belongs to Situ Wan?
Just ignore such an important event as the marriage between the two countries?
It's simply fascinating.
"Leng Shuang." Yun Zishu turned her head and glanced, "She has the same name as you."
"Yes." Leng Shuang replied concisely, "My subordinates are responsible for dealing with her."
Situ Shuang stared at Yun Zishu with cold eyes and deep hostility: "You stole the eldest sister's position as princess, you are a thief!"
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "In that case, you should let His Highness the Crown Prince marry Situ Wan instead of talking nonsense with me here."
"You are just a thief!" As these words fell, Situ Shuang suddenly raised his hand and rushed towards Yun Zishu, with a cold light between his fingers, "Suffer death!"
Leng Shuang's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed her wrist, snatched the concealed weapon from her hand at lightning speed, and stabbed it into her heart with a pop.
All the actions only happened in a flash, and before many people could react, everything was over.
Situ Shuang's eyes widened, his attacking movements froze for an instant, and then he slowly fell down.
The world seemed to fall into silence.
In the pavilion, Huangfu Chuchu and the other two women who had just stood up froze in their movements. Fu Nanxi and Princess Wuyang, who were walking in the peony garden, stopped involuntarily. Princess Yan of Prince Cheng's Mansion and Princess Wang who were watching the show on the corridor.
The girl's eyes widened with shock.
Others also looked frightened.
"You..." Princess Yan was the first to run over and looked at Situ Shuang who was lying on the ground in disbelief, "How dare you kill someone? How dare you kill someone in the palace?"
Yun Zishu looked calm and didn't say a word.
"This is the Queen's banquet. You are so audacious to kill people at the Queen's banquet?!" Princess Yan raised her eyes, as if she had seen something terrible happen, "Princess, you know what you are killing.
? You are so cruel and ruthless——"
"I was the one who killed her, and it had nothing to do with the Crown Princess." Leng Shuang said in a cold tone, "She wanted to assassinate the Crown Princess first, and she deserves death."
Princess Yan swallowed her saliva, turned around and shouted: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming! Someone is killing someone! The maid next to the Crown Princess is killing someone!"
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and the ladies scattered everywhere came to their senses and came quickly. After Princess Yan shouted, the imperial guards guarding outside the imperial garden were alerted, and soon another burst of footsteps came.
Come.
At this moment, not far away, the servants’ high-pitched singing and shouting sounded: “The Queen has arrived——”
The noble ladies all knelt down to greet him, and the imperial guard also turned around and knelt down on one knee to salute.
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows. The queen came just in time. If she didn't come earlier, she wouldn't come later. Leng Shuang had just "accidentally" killed Situ Shuang, and the queen came right now?
"What's going on?" The queen looked cold and majestic, and walked quickly down the corridor with the support of Nanny Zhao and Situ Wan, followed by dozens of palace maids in a huge formation, "I heard you yelling and screaming from all the way.
Are there any more rules? Just now, who shouted in an unseemly manner, pull him out and give him twenty sticks, so that he will remember it for a long time!"
Princess Yan's expression changed and she quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't do it on purpose. In fact... it was just that the maid next to the Crown Princess was too bold and openly killed people in the palace. I was so frightened that I accidentally did so."
I have lost my composure, please forgive me, the Queen!"
"Killing someone in the palace?" The queen's face darkened, and she turned to look at Yun Zishu, "Who did you kill?"
"Si...Situ Shuang..."
"Presumptuous!" The Queen quickened her pace and walked through the corridor, coming in a hurry. When she saw Situ Shuang lying on the ground, her face changed and she suddenly looked at Yun Zishu, "Princess, do you understand your guilt?!"
Yun Zishu stood calmly and raised her gaze slightly, "The Queen, are you willing to believe that this Situ Shuang just called me a thief and tried to kill me with a hidden weapon?"
Before the queen spoke, Situ Wan had already spoken first: "This is impossible. Third sister has always been low-key and taciturn, and is kind to others. How could she assassinate the crown princess? Has she eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?"
"I don't know if she has the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard, but she just called me a thief, and everyone present heard it clearly." Yun Zishu turned to look at Princess Yan, "Princess Yan..."
"I didn't hear it."
"I know you didn't hear." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "I didn't plan to ask you either."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Huangfu Chuchu's face: "Miss Huangfu should have heard it."
"Yes." Huangfu nodded Chu Chu, "Not only did I hear Situ Shuang and his subordinates scolding the Crown Princess, but they also attacked the Crown Princess. Fortunately, the maid next to the Crown Princess reacted quickly, otherwise the Crown Princess might be the one who fell to the ground right now.
