As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 183 Death of Xie Xingchen

"I see."

Yun Qi responded, and the father and son talked about the affairs of the DPRK. They only briefly mentioned the assassin's matter and did not talk about it in depth.

Both of them obviously knew it well.

When the business was almost finished, the prince stood up to leave.

Yun Qi followed and saw him off.

The prince suddenly stopped and said, "Are you moving back to your Dingxi Palace now?"

"Yes." Yun Qi lowered his eyes, "The East Palace is my father's place after all. It is more convenient for me to stay in my own place."

The prince said "heh".

What is convenient and inconvenient? It is obvious that Xie Zhaozhao is no longer in the East Palace, and Yun Qi has no intention of staying in the East Palace.

The prince just said "you find it convenient" and left.

……

The snow started falling in the afternoon and didn't stop until the next morning.

Xie Zhaozhao slept very well that night. During the day, he saw the yard was completely white, and he was in a good mood.

Xianggui and Xiangrong brought needles and threads and sewed things while talking to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao held the book in his hand and flipped through two pages. Without realizing it, he was fascinated by the way the two maids were holding needles and flying with their fingers.

"Miss?"

Xianggui noticed her abnormality and asked softly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao came back to his senses, "It's not that I just watched you doing needlework and suddenly thought about making clothes."

"Then I'll ask a tailor to measure you—"

"I didn't do it." Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, "I want to do it for His Highness."

"Then, His Highness, the size..." Xianggui said "Ah", then suddenly realized something, and said with a smile: "Why do you suddenly want to make clothes for His Highness?"

Xie Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at her, and when he saw her sticking out her tongue and calming down her expression, he said, "It's getting cold, and I suddenly remembered that there is still some leather in the warehouse."

Xianggui didn't dare to joke anymore and said with a smile: "Okay, what about the size?"

"Send someone to ask Grandma Li." Xie Zhaozhao said: "Yunqi's daily life must be taken care of by Grandma Li. She must know... Let's go and pick out the materials and leathers first."

Xianggui responded, took a muff for Xie Zhaozhao, held an umbrella, and accompanied Xie Zhaozhao to the warehouse.

The warehouse is behind Chunhe Building, and you pass Yilan Court as you walk there.

The entire Yilan Garden was also awash in white, and there were two young men wearing jackets standing guard at the door, stamping their feet because of the excessively cold weather.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao, the two of them hurriedly greeted him.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xianggui."

Xianggui took a silver ingot to them and said, "It's a cold day. Let's get some wine to warm up."

The two boys quickly saluted and thanked, "Thank you, sister."

"Don't just talk nonsense, do good work."

The two boys nodded and bowed and smiled in apology.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Yilanyuan, turned around and left.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Xie Zhaozhao chose purple brocade and a pair of blue-gray leather.

Originally I just wanted to make a robe, but after selecting it and seeing that the color matched, I selected the deep coat, boots, belt and middle coat material, and then returned to Wangyue Tower. go.

The weather was cold and Xie Zhaozhao's injury was not fully healed yet.

Along the way, Xianggui didn't have to worry too much.As soon as she returned to the building, Xianggui immediately handed Xie Zhaozhao Tang Pozi, fearing that she would be cold.

Xie Zhaozhao laughed out loud and told her "be careful of overdoing it", then sent Hongxiu to find Nanny Li to get the size, and specifically asked Nanny Li not to tell Yun Qi.

Although it was just a suit of clothes, Xie Zhaozhao still wanted to give Yun Qi a little surprise.

Later, Hong Xiu came back with the measurements.

Xie Zhaozhao called the tailor master and told him his thoughts.

She has also learned from some female celebrities, but she has done less and is not so skilled.

Occasionally, I can make do with embroidering a handkerchief, a ribbon, and a purse, but I definitely don't have the ability to make clothes.

Therefore, I can only help from the sidelines.

Xianggui saw that her young lady wanted to participate more, so she and the master chose two simple and elegant patterns and asked Xie Zhaozhao to embroider them on the clothes.

As for the pearls and jade woven on the belt, Xie Zhaozhao also woven them himself.

It snowed outside for three consecutive days, so Xie Zhaozhao spent three days making clothes in the courtyard.

When Xie Zhaozhao got up early on the fourth day, he was having breakfast when Lei Xing suddenly walked in from outside with a hurried look and went to the corridor to say a few words to Hongxiu.

Hongxiu's face was a little solemn when she came in: "Miss, there is news from Prince Liang's Mansion that the second young lady... has passed away."

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao paused and slowly put down the bowl, "How did you die?"

"Ever since the wedding, the second lady has been locked up, and later she fell into the hands of the princess of Prince Liang's Mansion." Hong Xiu replied: "The princess tied the second lady with a rope and... and the dog outside. ."

"It's been snowing for the past two days. It's so cold outside that I froze to death."

"Lei Xing said that the people in Prince Liang's Mansion had been wrapped up and thrown out hastily."

Xianggui frowned when she heard this, "No matter how sinister the second lady is, she is also the concubine of Prince Liang, and the marriage was granted by the imperial decree. Prince Liang and the others are so casual, aren't they afraid of being blamed by the emperor?"

"Also normal."

Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "Do you know how many times the emperor grants marriages a year? Xie Xingchen is involved in party disputes first and tarnishes the reputation of the royal family later. How can the emperor care about her life and death?"

"Since the Emperor doesn't care, Prince Liang will certainly not have any scruples."

"Xie Xingchen has relied on my father's support all these years. Now that my father is asking for forgiveness and leaving Beijing, it is equivalent to letting go of his second wife."

"It was only a matter of time before she ended up where she is now."

Xianggui nodded and gritted her teeth and said, "She deserves it. The master, his wife, and the young lady treat her so well, and she even hooked up with the man named Chu behind her back to do things that were sorry for the young lady."

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and carefully sorted out the jade pieces and beads he picked out.

Those are used for belts.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Xianggui quickly stopped talking, fearing that it would arouse some bad memories of Xie Zhaozhao and affect her mood.

In just half a month, the Chu family's mother and son passed away one after another, and Xie Xingchen also died.

Xie Zhaozhao felt much lighter all over.

These people who caused her such misery in the past life are now themselves to blame.

That night, Xie Zhaozhao slept soundly.

She vaguely heard someone calling "Miss". She sighed lazily and opened her eyes: "What's wrong Xianggui?"

"The second lady wants to see the young lady." Xiang Gui said in an uneasy tone, "I have been reading it all night. I didn't say anything. I just said that I wanted to see the young lady."

Xie Zhaozhao paused, his sleepiness dissipating a lot: "What time is it now?"

"It's just past nine o'clock, and it's still dark outside." Xianggui said warmly: "The steward of Yilanyuan said that the second lady's condition didn't look good, so she came to disturb her so early."

"Oh." Xie Zhaozhao held Xianggui's hand and turned over to sit up, "Then please invite her over."
