When Princess Xiangya heard that she was going to report to the official, she immediately became nervous. She just couldn't bear to be lonely and came to the shipyard to have fun.
But if she reports to the police, she will definitely be ridiculed.
If this happened in Xiangya, she wouldn't have to avoid it at all. She would just send someone to warn her, without giving the other party a chance to threaten her.
But now, Princess Xiangya is still somewhat taboo.
"Don't report it to the official yet. Send someone to a place and ask my maid to bring some money."
The madam laughed when she heard this: "Sure!"
The other party got the money, but didn't deduct the money, and sent the person away in a friendly manner.
Back on the shore, Princess Xiangya raised her hand and slapped the maid next to her hard: "It's been so long, why did you find her?"
"Slave... This slave was knocked unconscious and thrown on the roadside. She walked all the way back."
The maid was so aggrieved that her shoes were almost worn out. She did not dare to stop for a moment and walked all night long.
Princess Xiangya lowered her head and glanced at her shoes to make sure she wasn't lying, and then her expression improved.
"Who kidnapped you?"
The maid shook her head.
Princess Xiangya was the first to suspect Jiang Yunxu. In the capital, they were the only two who were mortal enemies.
The person being talked about suddenly rubbed the tip of his nose and sneezed loudly. Hongqiao thought the other person was sick and quickly closed the window.
"I'm not that fragile. Someone must be talking about me behind my back."
Jiang Yunxu laughed at the other party's fuss, so she called Yin Lei over and asked, "Where is your father now? Is there a date for his return?"
Yin Lei shook his head: "I don't know, but if the princess wants to ask, why not write a letter and get the news soon?"
"That makes sense."
Jiang Yunxu thought for a while, then wrote down what happened today in detail, and asked about the return date.
Then he took a clean small bottle, pricked his fingertip with a silver needle, and dripped in half of the bottle's blood.
It records how to use it. Although it cannot completely cure the poison in Chu Xuanzhi's body, it can definitely suppress it and prevent him from getting sick.
The night is getting darker
A group of people were stationed at the foot of a mountain, and several fires were lit. The light of the fire shone on their faces. Chu Xuanzhi sat by the fire, wondering what he was thinking.
When Yin Lei rushed all the way to deliver the letter, Chu Xuanzhi was still a little shocked.
I received the letter, which was densely packed with instructions, and the handwriting was really not like that of a lady, but rather very sloppy.
After reading the content, he held the small white bottle in his hand, smiled suddenly, took off a jade pendant from his arms and gave it to Yin Lei.
"Go back and tell the princess that everything in Prince Xuan's palace will be left to her, so there is no need to hold back."
Yin Lei was surprised, this was Yu Jun's order.
It was trained by Chu Xuanzhi. He didn't show up easily and just handed it over to the princess?
"Your Majesty, isn't this too expensive?"
"Prince Xuan's Mansion still needs the help of the princess to guard it, and my life is also in the hands of the princess. Do you still think it is precious?"
Chu Xuanzhi asked back, leaving Yin Lei speechless. He took the Yujun Order with shame. Thinking of the princess's bravery today, he suddenly felt that the princess was worthy of the Yujun Order.
Chu Xuanzhi was worried about Jiang Yunxu's safety. He was getting married today and the imperial edict was suddenly issued. If he went back, he would be disobeying the edict.
Therefore, he could only endure it.
Sitting in front of the fire at that moment, Chu Xuanzhi regretted it again.
"Everything is about the life of the princess. If there is any situation, report it to the king in time."
"yes!"
…
Jiang Yunxu only saw the Yujun order on the table the next day. Yin Lei explained the reason and recounted what Chu Xuanzhi said.
"This little jade pendant can mobilize a thousand feather armies?"
The Yu Army was famous, and she had the honor to hear it once. It was the Yu Army that was dispatched to snatch Brother Tuan back from Prime Minister Jiang.
The power is visible.
"The prince said that everything in the house will be left to you, so you don't have to be restrained."
Jiang Yunxu nodded: "I will guard the palace well until your prince comes back."
At the same time, Hongqiao came back, still panting, Jiang Yunxu immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Hong Qiao took it without hesitation, drank it all in one breath, and then nodded and said: "Don't worry, Princess, everything is taken care of."
Yin Lei on the side glanced at the master and servant.
Jiang Yunxu smiled coquettishly when he saw this, and said mysteriously: "Don't look at me questioningly, I'm just trying to teach someone a lesson."
Yin Lei immediately thought of Chu Xuanzhi's instructions last night. No matter what Jiang Yunxu's instructions were, he must obey them unconditionally.
"Princess has misunderstood. If you have other instructions, you can tell them to your subordinates. There is no need to delay the pretty girl."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunxu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't be without you in the future."
She won't be stingy either.
An hour later, a luxurious carriage arrived from outside the city. The horse was galloping, almost injuring people along the way.
The people passing by couldn't help but curse when they saw this, but after seeing clearly the guard with a sword beside the carriage, they swallowed back their anger.
That is the carriage of Princess Showa.
Princess Zhaohe went to see the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace with her pregnant belly. Yesterday, she prayed in the temple for three days, but last night she suddenly had a nightmare, dreaming about the destruction of Lingzhou Kingdom.
So she was frightened and woke up. She went to burn incense before dawn, but the incense in her hand could not be lit and broke three times.
"Did you have a nightmare? You don't believe it or not." The Queen Mother comforted her not to think too much and to raise the child first. "If this word spreads, the Emperor will be unhappy."
"Mother, my son and I dreamed that a woman had a very strange pattern painted on her back, and it said Lingzhou Kingdom must perish. This girl was extremely enchanting, and the scene in the dream was very real."
When Princess Showa thought of yesterday's dream, she turned pale with fright and put her head on the Queen Mother's knees.
Coincidentally, Queen Mu happened to come to the Queen Mother to discuss the matter of going to worship in a few days. However, she saw Princess Zhaohe looking frightened. She couldn't help but wonder: "What happened to Showa?"
Princess Showa hesitated again and again, and then remembered that in her dream, Queen Mu's fate was very bad, and she died bloody and miserably on the street.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister-in-law. I am fine."
But then Queen Mu came. She had always regarded Princess Zhaohe as a thorn in her side. When she heard that Princess Zhaohe had entered the palace, she looked flustered, so she found an excuse to greet her.
"No problem?" Queen Mu asked a few more questions reluctantly.
Princess Zhaohe had always been at odds with Empress Mu, so she immediately said: "Yesterday, I had a nightmare in the temple. I dreamed that someone was going to destroy the Lingzhou Kingdom, and that the emperor's sister-in-law would be killed in the wilderness. I got up this morning to go to the temple.
The incense, the incense burned out three times inexplicably, and I was frightened and came to see my mother."
Upon hearing this, Queen Mu's face immediately darkened.
"It's just a dream, Queen, don't take it to heart." The Queen Mother said lightly, and then patted Princess Showa on the shoulder: "Today, this matter will be settled until the end, and we are not allowed to mention it again."
Princess Zhaohe, however, looked serious: "Mother, I really dreamed of a woman. On her back were the words Lingzhou Kingdom must perish. That woman was extremely beautiful."
"That's enough!" Queen Mu interrupted the eldest princess Zhaohe. How could an eldest princess still act crazy even after getting married, and she wasn't afraid of being laughed at?
It was really unlucky to have troubled her early in the morning!
If she had known this was the case, she wouldn't have come.
The Queen Mother squinted at Queen Mu and said, "Showa is a simple-minded person. He is just expressing his dreams. Why should the Queen take it to heart?"
"Mother, this is obviously a fabrication. The Lingzhou country has strong soldiers and horses, how can the country be destroyed?"
Not to be outdone, Empress Mu pointed at Princess Zhaohe: "If the emperor finds out about this, Long Yan will be furious."
Princess Zhaohe shut up, she was too lazy to argue with Queen Mu, and she knew that given Queen Mu's temper, she would definitely tell Emperor Lingzhou about this.
The other party was eager for Emperor Lingzhou to punish him.
Sure enough, Queen Mu turned around and left after using the excuse that there were still things to deal with in the palace.
Less than half an hour later, Emperor Lingzhou came to ask for help.
"Your Majesty, Showa just had a dream, you don't have to blame him, right?" The Queen Mother was vaguely unhappy.
Emperor Lingzhou did not come to ask for guilt, because after the morning court, someone mentioned that in the temple, Princess Zhaohe failed to even burn three sticks of incense, and she looked frightened.
He thought carefully, there was no reason for Princess Showa to make up such lies, it would not do her any good.
"The queen mother misunderstood. I came to ask what that person from Zhaohe looked like?" Emperor Lingzhou explained.
There are some things that you would rather believe that they exist than that they don’t exist. There is no harm in being a little defensive.
Princess Showa hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Her face was extremely beautiful, but she couldn't remember what she looked like. She only knew that she was wearing a string of bells on her arm.
"We are wearing bells on our wrists and ankles, and our hairdos are not the style of our Lingzhou women. We are also wearing a layer of brocade yarn, and we are holding a sharp sword. We are all prisoners. I,
I watched her kill many people with my own eyes."
When Princess Showa recalled that dream, she couldn't help but look even paler.
Emperor Lingzhou looked at Princess Zhaohe up and down, and couldn't tell that she was acting, so he said: "According to what you said, could that woman be Princess Xiangya who came to get married a while ago?"
She knew that someone came to get married, but because there was a funeral in Prime Minister Jiang's house and Mrs. Jiang was still ill, she had no time to come out and never met Princess Xiangya once.
Emperor Lingzhou said again: "You are frightened. There is no need to mention this matter anymore. Please spend more time with your mother."
After saying this, Emperor Lingzhou left.
The more he thought about it along the way, the more he felt uncomfortable. In order to eliminate his inner uneasiness, he immediately sent a command to the queen, asking the queen to personally spy on Princess Xiangya's back to see if there was any writing on it.
Empress Mu had no choice but to find an excuse to summon people into the palace, but by no means coincidentally, Princess Xiangya accidentally fell into the water.
Although he was rescued in time, he was already soaked through, so Empress Mu gave her a very exquisite and luxurious dress to express her apology.
"This girl was so reckless that she frightened the princess. I have already made the decision to hand him over to the princess and let her do whatever she wants."
Although Princess Xiangya was angry, looking at the exquisite clothes and jewelry in front of her, her anger was half gone, so she said: "The crime is not worthy of death, but if you offend the master, you should be punished, so I will reward you with fifty boards."
.”
Queen Mu just smiled when she heard this, but in her heart she was lamenting how cruel and ruthless Princess Xiangya was. She had to beat someone to death for fifty pieces?
"What are you still doing? Drag him out and beat him!"
After giving the order, the palace maid was gagged and dragged out.
Empress Mu then ordered someone to bathe and change Princess Xiangya. However, Princess Xiangya came back from the shipyard today and had not had time to bathe and change clothes. She was worried that people would see the dense ambiguity all over her body, so she said: "No need."
, this princess is not used to being served by others."
Seeing this, Queen Mu did not force herself and turned around and returned to the main hall.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the little palace maid came over in shock. When she got to the door, she tripped hard.
Seeing this, Queen Mu was so shocked that she couldn't sit still and asked sharply: "Is there really a word?"
The little palace maid nodded: "This slave looked at it through the screen. I was afraid that it would not be clear. I looked at it carefully several times. There are indeed those five big characters."
There is a screen behind the jade soup. The outside cannot be seen from the inside, but the inside can be seen from inside the screen.
An hour ago, a wall was deliberately broken open and a screen was installed.
Empress Mu expressed disbelief and took a look in person. The five big characters stood out in front of her eyes, but the people inside did not notice anything. They sat in the pool and enjoyed the flower petals on their skin.
Moreover, the dense red marks on her body also fell into the eyes of Queen Mu. She was a veteran and could tell what this meant at a glance.
"This bitch dares to call herself a saint. I thought she was so pure, but the result is shocking."
Empress Mu looked at the people inside with disdain, recalling how Princess Xiangya behaved when her veil was taken off and she insisted on marrying Chu Youqi. It was so ironic.
She couldn't wait any longer and went directly to Emperor Lingzhou to tell him about the matter. As you can imagine, Emperor Lingzhou's face looked very ugly.
"I don't dare to lie, I do have these big words."
Empress Mu also copied the calligraphy and painting and placed it in front of Emperor Lingzhou. With just one glance, Emperor Lingzhou tore up all the calligraphy and painting in anger.
Not only did it say that the Lingzhou Kingdom would perish, but it also cursed itself.
"Princess Xiangya doesn't allow anyone to come in to serve her. She must know that there are words on her back, and it looks like they are tattooed on her back."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Lingzhou slapped the table. What a shame, this bitch, he even thought about bringing Princess Xiangya into the harem.
It's simply a shame and a huge humiliation.
"Your Majesty doesn't know. Princess Xiangya may no longer be perfect. I'm looking at her..."
Queen Mu hesitated to speak, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she was really embarrassed to say it, but Emperor Lingzhou immediately understood what she meant.
Called a bitch!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess Xiangya is a married princess after all. What should we do now?"
How to deal with it is tricky.
If the Lingzhou Emperor had not cared about the identity of the princess, he would have ordered her execution long ago.
