Chapter 51

The eldest princess was the first and only one among Xiao's clan to come to express condolences.

At the most difficult time for the Fu family, the eldest princess, who was also in a bad situation, came accompanied by Hua Jingrong as a supervisor.

She was originally the most beautiful woman in the empire, but wearing plain white clothes this time, her appearance became more and more beautiful, and she was beyond beauty.

Slowly walking into the mourning hall, the widow of the Fu family who was wearing sackcloth and filial piety and weeping hurriedly swallowed her sobs and bowed her head in salute.The eldest princess nodded to express their condolences, while looking around: Most of Fu Zhu's former colleagues had never sent elegiac couplets, let alone offering sacrifices.

With a sigh, offering a fragrance to Fu Zhu, the eldest princess sincerely thanked Fu Zhu for all the things he had done for the Xiao family.

After burning incense, she was not in a hurry to leave, and said to the eldest lady, "Fu Liushi, I have something I want to discuss with you."

The eldest lady couldn't help being startled, she was flattered.

The current situation is chaotic, the crown prince is still alive and dead, and the situation in the court is not clear. Even the eldest princess can't stand alone in the royal strife that almost involves the whole world.

Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly, Fu Zhu separated her from Yin and Yang for the sake of loyalty. For a while, the Fu family had no leader. Up, if Shen Liji hadn't helped host it, it might have already been down.

But even though she was physically and mentally broken, she also knew that no matter who became the emperor in the end, the world was still the Xiao family's world after all, and the eldest princess was still the eldest princess after all, as long as the big tree was firmly grasped, it would be easy to seek comprehensiveness.

So even though Hua Jingrong's complexion was not good, the eldest wife still nodded without hesitation.

The eldest princess said again: "This matter has something to do with Fourth Lady."

So Mrs. Fu said to Si Niang who was burning fire paper, "Si Niang, come here."

Li Ci glanced at Hua Jingrong with a look of embarrassment on his face.The eldest princess noticed her hesitation, turned her face, and said to Hua Jingrong: "The whole Chang'an is in the hands of the seventh brother, I am just talking to Fu Shilang's widow, can this also break the sky? "

The words were so ironic that Hua Jingrong could only smile wryly, but in the end he didn't back down. He followed from a distance, keeping a distance of two feet from the eldest princess.

Li Ci understands that the eldest princess's trip is to ask the eldest wife for her, so she can't help but think to herself, the father who has never met is really a big face, and the eldest princess is still in crisis, but she does not forget to take care of her daughter for him.But even though he is unparalleled, as long as he thinks that this person is meticulous and will do anything to achieve his goal, Li Ci can't hide his resentment, so he hangs his head and follows behind.

Seeing her depressed expression, the eldest princess thought she had recently lost her father, so it was inevitable that she would be depressed, but she liked Li Ci, and couldn't bear to see the fourth lady's face depressed, so she stopped to explain from time to time. .Surrounded by a group of maids and women, the three of them walked and stopped like this, walking more than a hundred steps for more than half an hour.

After walking more than a hundred steps, I turned into Yilin Shuinuan Pavilion.

About to enter the pavilion, the eldest princess stopped, turned around and said to Hua Jingrong who kept a distance of two feet: "This pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, and it was built on water, you can rest assured."

Hua Jingrong heard the words and looked carefully. The pavilion was built in the air, supported by four stone pillars with a diameter of more than ten feet, surrounded by water on three sides, and connected to the embankment by only a corridor. Although the heat is still heavy at this time, is it a place to enter? In autumn, the beautiful trees are hard to hide their discoloration, and with the recent storms and heavy rains, the boundless falling trees are swaying, merging into the sparkling autumn water, coupled with the ubiquitous white and black silk, it is even more sad.

So he took a step back and said: "Don't delay too long, and make the empress dowager talk about it."

The eldest princess ignored him, and entered the warm pavilion with the Fu family's daughters.

After entering the cabinet, he was about to wait for the eldest princess to sit down, but she didn't want the eldest princess to correct her appearance and knelt down in the direction of Fu's family hall.

This kneeling scared everyone to kneel down and say "Zhe Sha". The eldest wife and Li Ci stepped forward to stop him, but the eldest princess insisted on kowtowing three heads before saying: "Fu Shilang is my Xiao family. You have given up your life, why not accept my worship?"

When the eldest wife heard the words, she suddenly felt her nose sour, and said with tears, "I am so grateful to have the princess, even though Lan Shi doesn't have a posthumous title, she has died in peace."

Because of the political turmoil and offending the Empress Dowager and the King of Changsha, Fu Zhu's posthumous title has not yet been determined.

"I killed him."

Sighing softly, Li Ci quickly lifted the princess up and sat her on the bed.

When she sat down, she was about to step back, but was detained by the eldest princess.

She stared at this strange yet familiar girl, scrutinizing it inch by inch. Under her harsh scrutiny, Rao Deli had been a human being for two lifetimes, his mind was no different from ordinary people, and his fingers were trembling with nervousness, his cheeks were flushed.

After a long time, the princess looked away.

"Have you ever thought about the future?"

This is asking Mrs.

Fu Liushi was startled, and then said: "I have sent envoys back to the Northland to report the news. I guess after the first seven days, I will help the spirit back to the Northland with my mother-in-law and Saburo. Let Aunt Shen take full responsibility here."

The eldest princess said "Oh" and glanced at Lici.

Li Ci stood silently, without any signs of agitation or displeasure.

Seeing that she was calm, the eldest princess was unavoidably surprised, so she cut straight to the point and said, "It's good for Fu's family to go back to the North after such a big event. It's just that there are not many people in the North, and I'm afraid I will wrong the ladies."

"I'm also worried about this matter. The fourth lady is also thirteen or fourteen years old. If I go to the Northland, where will I go to find the right marriage?"

Although the eldest wife has no political foresight, she is very shrewd in attacking the back house. She also instinctively sensed something strange about what happened back then.At this moment, the Eldest Princess spoke vaguely, and her heart that had been ashamed naturally came alive again.So the little abacus also crackled.

"If I stay in the capital, I'm afraid of her..."

The Eldest Princess got her initiative, so she went with the flow and said: "I, Suxi, Fourth Lady is smart and smart. Why don't you keep her and stay with me temporarily, and find a child from a noble family for her."

"That's really great. It's Si Niangzi's blessing to be favored by the eldest princess."

The eldest lady covered her mouth and smiled, hypocritical to the extreme.

After all, there is a difference between intimacy and closeness, and the Eldest Wife would certainly wish for the Eldest Princess to protect her direct daughter in exchange for Li Ci.In fact, if it wasn't for the fear of being stabbed in the back, the eldest wife has already suggested to the eldest princess to pick him up tomorrow.

Li Ci's face became more and more gloomy.

Princess Pianchang took Li Ci's hand and said, "Si Niangzi, seeing your tense face, do you mean that you don't want to?"

The eldest wife slandered for a while, but she said with a smile on her face: "Why doesn't she want to, she is obviously so happy."

"Really?" The eldest princess asked back with a smile.

"Of course it is true. Although Fourth Lady is young and intelligent, she is a child after all, and she will be so happy that she will be silly when encountering such a big event."

The eldest wife explained obsequiously, and stared blankly at Li Ci, wishing she could thank the eldest princess on her behalf.

"I can rest assured that."

The eldest princess said softly, signaling the eldest wife to step back for the time being, she had something personal to say to Li Ci.

The eldest wife couldn't help feeling flustered for a while, for fear that Li Ci said something embarrassing, but she didn't dare to disobey the eldest princess, so she had to retreat with the maids and women with caution.

In the warm pavilion, only the eldest princess and the fourth lady are left.

The eldest princess stretched out her hand, motioning for the fourth lady to sit beside her. Li Ci approached reluctantly, and stopped within reach of her.

The fourth lady is so ignorant of flattery, but the eldest princess was not annoyed, she just sighed softly and said, "Do you hate the king of Changsha?"

Li Ci bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"It seems that you really hate the King of Changsha in your heart, but you dare not say it, for fear that Hua Jingrong will hear it."

Laughing at herself, the eldest princess stood up, walked up to Li Ci, stretched out her hand, and stroked——

From the forehead to the corners of the eyes, to the bridge of the nose, to the lips, touch it inch by inch, as simple and serious as a farmer confirming the crops.

This excessively delicate touch made Lici's goosebumps stand up, and she mobilized all her patience to force herself to calm down.

"Hate the royal family for being ruthless, and forced your father to death in the name of loyalty, right?"

Sighing softly, the eldest princess's white and soft hand had slipped to Lici's neck.

If I get the wrong answer, will she strangle me?
Li Ci didn't know, because she chose to remain silent.

This silence was obviously expected by the eldest princess. The unparalleled lady smiled gently, bent down suddenly, and whispered in her ear: "Be my daughter, and I will help you avenge."

Li Ci smiled, not like a 13-year-old child at all.

She said: "Your Highness, Princess Chang, why should you say such self-deceiving words. You clearly hated His Highness Changsha King to death, but you just need a reason for you to tear off the veil of warmth with confidence. "

Unexpectedly, she would say such a thing. The eldest princess was stunned, with a painful expression on her face, and said slowly: "You shouldn't talk to me like this. No one in this world treats you better than I treat you."

Using me, using me as a tool for revenge, is this also treating me well?
There was irony in her heart, but Li Ci's mouth was lowered and she said pleasantly: "Li Ci recently lost his father, so he uttered bad words just now. Please forgive me, Eldest Princess."

Seeing her insincere words, the eldest princess restrained her sadness and showed her usual smile: "I have always tolerated you in every possible way."

Holding hands, they walked out of the warm pavilion together.

……

……

In an alley not far from the side gate of Fu's house, a black carriage with its marks erased has been parked for more than two hours, and the inspecting Marquis Wu passed by, but turned a blind eye.

Ever since Fu Lanshi's Jinluan Palace touched the pillar and died, the Fu family has been watched by countless pairs of eyes.Marquis Wu also knew that they were not something he could mess with, so as long as these suspicious big shots didn't stir up trouble, he would pretend not to see them.

As the sky was getting dark, someone in the carriage stretched out his hand, raised the black curtain, and squinted at the darkness at the end of the alley.

In the dark, I don't know how many colleagues are watching this sad house.

Unlike them who can only jump in the dark, he has the emperor's life on his shoulders, and he doesn't even pay attention to the eldest princess.

Whether Hua Jingrong is unreliable, I still need to be involved in things like monitoring the eldest princess, he thought complacently,

At this sensitive moment of regime change, as long as the timing is right and great achievements are made, the future will be prosperous.Many things have to be cut first and played later.

But he has no chance to continue laughing at the poor ex-consort.

The moment the curtain was closed, a sudden bone-piercing cold broke in from the lower abdomen, one in front and one in back, regardless of each other.

Followed by endless pain.

He subconsciously reached out to touch the sore spot, and felt the warm stickiness.

He struggled to open the door curtain, wanting to call for help, but what he saw was the driver's desperate despair, and——

The two iron rods piercing through the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right, precisely fixed him.

He raised his head, and in front of him stood a girl as bright as a begonia, but about seven or eight years old, with a bun, wearing a blood-red shirt, and a strangely charming smile.

In front of the carriage and behind the girl, stood more than a dozen tall and silent men in black, all of whom were holding iron rods, expressionless.

The girl stretched out her hand, and one of them offered the iron braze to the girl.

The girl silently took the iron rod and pierced his throat. When she pulled it out again, blood gushed out and fell on the wooden board, staining the red embroidered shoes.

"Dirty Xie dog!"

The girl spoke excitedly, her voice was a bit sharp, her flat chest was heaving due to seeing blood, Ruyu's skin flushed.

The remnants of Xiliang!

The clarity at the moment of death made the man guess the identity of the assassin, so he accepted his fate in despair.

But how could these people narrowly escape the dead, and then sneaked into the capital through numerous blockades, so arrogant that they killed people in the street!
Who is that girl again!

Haven't all the royal families of Xiliang been...

Countless questions linger in my mind, but I can no longer ask them.

His throat was punctured, all his internal organs were shattered, and his already limp body was supported by the two iron rods that penetrated the carriage.When the man in black simply pulled out the iron tongs, he slumped out of the carriage and fell to the ground, bleeding and lifeless.

……

……

In the autumn of the fifth year of Chengshi, the great position was empty, the hearts of the people were turbulent, the world was mourning, and life seemed to be turning around.

In this era filled with blood and terror, countless careerists rushed to Chang'an, and the poison in the night was wanton...
