Young Liang Zhu
"What the hell is going on?"
Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan held each other's hands and looked at each other affectionately.
Tuozan's eyes were burning.
Without thinking, she rushed over and pushed the two of them away.
He pretended as if he didn't know anything.
She grabbed Siyang's hand and said, "Sister, I heard that assassins entered the palace.
Are you hurt? "She looked Siyang up and down. She seemed to be really worried.
Siyang was very good at this moment. Other than her face, which seemed to be slightly pale from fright, there were no injuries at all.
Siyang felt that she was about to see the disappointment in Tuozan's eyes.
Seeing this,
Tuozan took a deep breath.
Without waiting for others to speak,
She turned her head and pointed at the assassin with a sharp gaze. She shouted to the crowd, "Since the assassin has been caught, why don't you go to jail?
Hurry up and throw him into prison. What are you waiting for? "
"If the assassin has an accomplice,
What should you do if you hurt His Majesty and the Empress? "
"Yes, I'll wait and take the assassin away." The imperial guard quickly cupped his hands.
After saluting, the people he called were about to take the assassin away.
Siyang's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Instead, he grabbed Qian Zan's hand and shook his head.
Her face was full of gratitude. "Sister,
I know you're worried about sister.
However, this assassin is temporarily immobile. Moreover, the commander of the imperial guard has also checked the Jade Earth Palace and did not find the assassin's accomplice. You don't have to be afraid or worry. "
With a sigh, Siyang looked at Xue Pinggui and advised, "Your Majesty, why don't we do as Tuozan said and send the assassin to jail?"
Hearing her say this, Hawksbill Zan's heart relaxed a little. In fact, she was still worried. Tonight's assassin was indeed sent by her. However, she did not expect to fail. Wang Baochuan was still alive and well, but the person she sent was arrested.
Tuozan was not afraid of what this assassin said. She believed that Xue Pinggui would not do anything to her for Wang Baochuan. However, she still had to care about her reputation.
Since Wang Baochuan was so considerate, she was relieved.
After Tuozan appeared in a hurry, Xue Pinggui frowned.
Tonight, this assassin appeared. This was beyond his expectations.
After seeing his face clearly, Xue Pinggui wanted to deny it, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that it was not him. This assassin was related to Xiliang's Princess Tuozan, his beloved concubine.
However, just as Tuozan thought, Xue Pinggui would not do anything to Tuozan for this assassin, or Wang Baochuan. He had just ascended to the throne, and his position was not stable.
In the Central Plains, Xiliang's territory was united. Although he had been the king of Xiliang for more than ten years, he was still a Han.
But in the end, he was a Han. The main reason he could become the King was because he married Princess Bingzan. That was why the people of Xi Liang recognized her as the King.
If something happened to Tuozan, Xiliang's border would be unstable. He could not joke about this.
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, Siyang could see and predict the emotions in their eyes. She was not surprised. However, since Tuozan had fallen into her hands tonight, it would be too easy for her if she let him get away so easily.
"Your Majesty." Siyang bit her lip and grabbed Xue Pinggui's arm. Her eyes flashed as she said worriedly, "Although this assassin only sneaked into Yukun Palace at night, there are not many people in Yukun Palace. No matter what his goal was, there were no casualties. It is not a big deal for me to be frightened. In the future, there will be more patrols, but..."
At this point, Siyang's brows furrowed with a trace of worry.
Xue Pinggui noticed that Wang Baochuan's complexion seemed to be much better than when they first met. Her complexion was not as sallow as before. Instead, there was more color, faintly revealing her beautiful face in the past. He guessed that it was probably because she had recovered from a serious illness.
Thinking about it, he thought back to when they first met more than ten years ago. Xue Pinggui's heart softened and he was willing to listen to her.
Siyang spoke hesitantly.
"This assassin. He can come and go as he pleases in the palace. It really makes me feel uneasy. Let's not talk about other things. The Imperial Guards did not discover him. If today he did not come to Yukun Palace, but to Your Majesty... "
She suddenly stopped talking and covered her mouth with her hand. Wang Baochuan's eyes widened with fear. She seemed to have thought of something terrifying. Xue Pinggui naturally understood the meaning of her words.
As he thought about it, a sharp glint flashed across Xue Pinggui's deep eyes, which had become gloomy due to being in a superior position all year round. When he raised his eyes to look at the assassin again, his expression became thought-provoking.
When Si Yang mentioned the assassin again, Tortoise Zan's heart tightened. He didn't think too much about it and hurriedly pulled Xue Pinggui's hand, pulling her gaze over. There was a hint of urgency in her voice as she said, "Sister is right, but I don't know if this person is an assassin. Even though the palace is heavily guarded, there might still be some loopholes. Maybe this person is a little thief who isn't familiar with the palace and ran into sister's palace to steal some valuables."
"After all, he came alone. If he wanted to assassinate someone, it would be too ridiculous. "
"Sister is right." Siyang's expression did not change. She nodded in agreement, "But..." Siyang's eyes were still a bit doubtful.
"It's fine if he stole my belongings, but it's a good thing I wasn't in bed at the time. After the assassin entered the room, he directly rushed towards my bed curtain with a knife and stabbed. If I was there at the time, I'm afraid I would've been dead. This assassin's skills are extraordinary. In the future, I still have to be more vigilant in the palace. After all, Your Majesty's body is priceless. We cannot let anything happen to it. "
Hawksbill's face stiffened and he gave a dry laugh. "That's right, big sister is right. Right now, we should take down this assassin and interrogate him. That's the most important thing."
Xue Pinggui was sandwiched between the two of them. Their conversation was heard by him, but his expression was very calm, making it impossible for others to tell what he was thinking.
When the two women beside him finished talking, he finally found his senses.
"Let's do as the Empress and beloved consort said. First, throw this assassin into the prison and interrogate him. However, the Empress has been frightened today. How about you come with zhen to rest for a night?"
"How can this be?" Hearing Xue Pinggui's words, Tuozan blurted out without thinking. After she spoke, she found Xue Pinggui and Siyang looking at her. Only then did she realize that her words were not appropriate. Her fingers gripped the handkerchief, tightening and loosening. She was not satisfied.
Looking at the newly made and luxurious phoenix robe, it was no wonder that Tuozan was anxious for Wang Baochuan to die.
If Wang Baochuan did not die, how could she give the throne to her? This kind of banquet, there were only a few times in one's life. It represented the highest authority, the highest glory. Thinking about it, it should have been her, but she could only watch. That kind of heart-scratching, the proud Tuozan could not bear it.
"This phoenix robe is really beautiful." After the robe was delivered, Cui'er's eyes never left it. She was not educated, so she could not describe it well. After tossing and turning, she could only use the word "beautiful".
Leisurely painting her manicured nails, Siyang only glanced at it faintly and then withdrew her gaze.
"It is made according to the dragon robe. This is inevitable."
"Miss, quickly try it on. It will definitely look good on you." Carefully touching it, Cui'er looked at Siyang expectantly with sparkling eyes.
After painting the last nail, the little palace maid kneeling next to her carefully fanned it.
Siyang was sitting on the couch and talking. Footsteps came from outside the bedroom. She raised her eyebrows. In the next moment, a familiar figure appeared. She was dressed brightly, and her jewelry jingled as she walked.
Tuozan walked in with a cold and bright face.
At a glance, she saw the phoenix robe on the table. That phoenix robe was too eye-catching. It was hard not to notice it.
When she saw this, her expression immediately became unsightly.
"Little Sister, how do you have the time to visit Big Sister?" Siyang's lips curved, but she did not get up to greet her.
Big Sister? Was she worthy?
Tuozan's eyes were ice cold. She had never considered Wang Baochuan to be a good sister. Those so-called big sisters and little sisters were just for show. At the time, she thought that since this woman would not live for long, taking advantage of her could be considered as accumulating some good karma.
Unexpectedly, not only did this person not die, she was living more and more freely. Just look at her now.
"Phoenix robe." Tuozan's hand caressed the exquisitely embroidered robe. Flames danced in her eyes.
"That's right. This is the phoenix robe that was rushed out for this consort."
Getting up from the couch, Siyang walked over and casually shook open the robe. The bright red robe was embroidered with a phoenix in golden thread. Its wings were spread out, and the phoenix's feathers were dazzling.
"Does it look good?" Siyang unfolded the robe in front of Tuozan's eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Tuozan's hands clenched tightly. She loosened them and clenched them again. However, even if Tuozan wanted to deceive herself, Wang Baochuan was clearly provoking her.
"Are you very proud?" Tuozan glared angrily at Siyang. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
"Hm?" Slightly hesitant, Siyang raised her eyebrows with a half smile: "Little Sister, how can you say that? What is there to be proud of? Isn't this mine?"
"You actually dare to call yourself that in front of this consort." Finally, Tuozan couldn't hold back any longer. Endless resentment appeared between her brows. She took a step forward and fiercely grabbed the phoenix robe in Siyang's hands. Suppressing her anger and hatred: "You are just a small commoner girl. This consort is the Honorable Princess of Xiliang. This consort is giving you some face by calling you Big Sister. Do you really think that you are the Empress?"
Cui'er couldn't see this and hurriedly wanted to step forward: "Little …"
Siyang calmly raised her hand to stop her. During this time, Cui'er had been exceptionally obedient after being drugged. Seeing this, even though she was anxious, she still stopped in her tracks.
Her gaze calmly met Tuozan's angry eyes. Siyang's expression was calm. She lowered her head to look at the hand on the phoenix robe. She used so much force that the robe wrinkled and changed its shape. She frowned slightly. She also had to wear this robe to see others.
"Little Sister, you are from Xiliang. Big Sister understands, but I still want to give you a good lesson."
"You want to give me a lesson?" As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Tuozan laughed coldly. She wanted to see what kind of lesson Siyang was going to give her.
"First, you are the Western Liang Princess. I am also the daughter of the Prime Minister. You are from a small country like Xiliang and I am from a large country like the Central Plains. In terms of status, I am not inferior to you."
"Ridiculous." Tuozan didn't hold back her sarcasm: "You have long severed your relationship with your parents. Your father has also been executed. What kind of Prime Minister's daughter are you?"
Siyang was unmoved and didn't feel embarrassed: "So what I want to say is that your father has long passed away. The Central Plains and Xiliang have merged into one. They both belong to the current Emperor. You are no longer the Western Liang Princess. You are just a small concubine in the harem."
"A small concubine, ha." Tuozan was thoroughly angered by this sentence. She was also angry. She glared at Siyang with red eyes and shouted: "The successor of Xiliang is me. As long as I, Tuozan, am alive, I am the Princess of Xiliang. I have the absolute right to speak."
As Tuozan's personal maid, Aya wanted to stop the Princess today. But in the end, she failed to do so. When she came to Yukun Palace, she didn't say much because she felt sorry for the Princess. But when she saw the faint smile on Siyang's face, she felt something was wrong. When she suddenly heard the Princess shout, her heart skipped a beat. She hurried forward: "Princess, please calm down. You and His Majesty are one. This is natural. As the Western Liang Princess, no one can deny this."
Siyang looked at Aya a few more times. Tuozan had a sensible person by her side. Unfortunately, she didn't do anything sensible.
"Let's not talk about status." Lowering her head, Siyang slowly put her hand on Tuozan's hand that was holding the phoenix robe. She spoke and moved at the same time: "I am His Majesty's first wife. First come, first served. Princess, no matter how noble you are, to put it nicely, you are a noble consort. To put it bluntly, you are a concubine..." Her voice gradually lowered. She gently used her fingers to pry open Tuozan's tightly clenched fingers one by one.
Her body leaned forward. Her voice was low and soft as if it couldn't be heard. But Tuozan heard it clearly.
"Princess, your two children are also the son and daughter of a concubine. Although they have the eldest son, they are not the legitimate wife. I don't know if His Majesty will hesitate to appoint the Crown Prince after I give birth to the legitimate son."
"You..." Tuozan's pupils shrank in an instant. Before she could get angry at Siyang's words, the latter half of the sentence made Tuozan start to think more.
Xue Pinggui, he...
Siyang clearly wasn't pressing down on her, but Tuozan felt that she couldn't breathe. Her chest rose and fell faster. In addition, there was a piercing pain from her fingers. She finally couldn't endure it and pushed forward fiercely: "Go away."
Seeing the person at the door appear as expected, Siyang took the opportunity to fall back.
"Haha." Nine-tailed Fox laughed loudly and took two steps forward. She looked at Siyang mockingly: "You should know very well that your sister won't come back. Look at how you were bullied. Did your sister stand up for you?"
"Don't say that your sister can't serve the King. Others can come, but she can't. She clearly doesn't want to see you. I don't know where she has forgotten about you."
"Shut up." As if her heart was touched, Siyang impulsively ran out from behind the pillar. She looked at Nine-tailed Fox face to face and shouted at her: "My sister and I are of the same mother. We are sisters and have never been separated. Now that I am in trouble, she won't leave me alone. It's just that, it's just that... she has to serve the King and I am in the Cold Palace, so she can't take care of me right now."
As if she was trying to convince herself, Si Yang nodded her head vigorously, as if she was trying to confirm it.
"Sigh." Shaking her head and sighing, Nine-tailed Fox's eyes were filled with pity: "Looking at you, you really are pitiful. Even now, you still haven't recognized the truth. Or should I say..." She lowered her head and moved closer to Siyang. Nine-tailed Fox frivolously spat at her: "... you only want to deceive yourself."
"Don't say anymore." Clenching her fists and screaming, Siyang closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled and tears fell. Her beautiful face was filled with sadness, as if Nine-tailed Fox had hit the nail on the head.
She had achieved her goal. Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes flashed when she saw Lin Yiqian's mental breakdown. Her enchanting face was full of contentment.
She really couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't wait to obtain this body. Therefore, she didn't want to wait any longer. She might as well do it herself.
"How about it? You don't want to spend the rest of your life in this cold and empty palace. Do you want me to help you?"
"Who are you?" Opening her eyes, Siyang had already regained her composure. However, in the depths of her eyes, there was still a trace of sadness.
"Who I am is not important. You only need to know that I can help you escape from here and regain King Zhou's favor." Nine-tailed Fox circled Siyang once. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. Her smile became more sincere.
"Why do you want to help me?" Turning around, Siyang raised her chin and looked at her. Her eyes were filled with suspicion and caution: "Even if I'm young, I still understand that there is no free lunch in this world. There is no such thing as help for no reason. What do you want? Or rather, what do you want? "
