Chapter 33
Bai Qian saw Cangwu Jingyuan who was half-dragged in the arms of the nobleman at a glance, frowned slightly, and blessed her body and said: "My servant pays homage to the nobleman."
"She's drunk." Shen Chen thought that he was still a nobleman after all, and it was inconvenient to take care of Cangwu Jingyuan, so he handed Cangwu Jingyuan to Bai Qian.
This time, Bai Qian didn't care about the ceremonies of the emperor and ministers, and entered the other palace with Cangwu Jingyuan in her arms and half in her arms.
"It's a rare opportunity, take it well." When the two left, Shen Chen drank the last glass of wine in his glass, and after talking to himself, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he went to his bedroom. go.
With Cangwu Jingyuan, who was drunk and out of shape, Bai Qian frowned.
She and Cangwu Lingyu hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted a little late. Just as Cangwu Lingyu left her palace, Bai Qian saw Cangwu Jingrui rushing into Xueyang Palace with an aggrieved face, and told her that Jingyuan said Let them all let themselves go, and asked her if she really fell in love with Cangwu Lingyu.
Thinking that Jing Yuan might misunderstand herself and the second prince, Bai Qian ran to Chaoyang Palace without even changing the clothes she wore for sword practice, only to meet Cang Wu Jing Yuan who was almost unconscious... ...
Sighing softly, Bai Qian ordered the maid to get the sober stone, sour plum soup and fragrant soup, and then dragged Cangwu Jingyuan to the bed.
Cangwu Jingyuan, who was a bit cold at first, suddenly felt warm, and managed to wake up a little bit. Looking at Bai Qian, who was sitting next to him, who was as gentle as jade and with a peerless appearance, Cangwu Jingyuan directly arched her head into her arms, the pride of the past The fierce coefficient disappeared, and she pulled Bai Qian's sleeves with aggrieved face, and muttered inarticulately, "Bai, Bai Qian, I didn't mean to annoy you, nor did I mean to lie to you, you, you don't want to ignore me... ..."
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan like this, Bai Qian felt a pain in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help getting a little moist. She said she would trust her to wait for her, but why did she force her to be like this in the end? At that time, he remained sober from the beginning to the end and never drank so much alcohol, but today he did not know how much he drank to become so drunk.
Raising his hand to gently caress Cang Wu Jingyuan's face, his white eyes were filled with bitterness and he murmured bitterly: "Jingyuan, I know you have your own difficulties, so I won't force you anymore, okay? Don't do this again Toss yourself..."
The drunk Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't understand what Bai Qian said, grunted and arched into her arms with a slight fragrance, and said with deep sadness in her tone: "Bai Qian, I, I know that it might be possible. I can't give you happiness, I can't make you so happy, so, so, if you really have someone you like, I... I can let go, you, don't worry, I can be fine alone, As long as you can..."
Bai Qian frowned, covered Cangwu Jingyuan's lips with her hand to stop her from speaking, and said in a deep voice: "Cangwu Jingyuan, since you are drunk, I will treat you as if you were drunk. Well, let me get rid of this idea, I am very clear about whether I am happy or not, as long as you don't really push me away, I should have the final say on whether you can let go!"
There was a light knock on the door, and Bai Qian calmed down.
Lu He stepped into the bedroom, looked at Bai Qian and the fourth princess on the bed, and said, "Bachelor Bai, the fragrant soup and sober stone are ready, do you need a servant to help the princess take a bath?"
Cangwu Jingyuan never liked being served by her when she took a bath, and Bai Qian also subconsciously didn't want Cangwu Jingyuan's appearance to be seen by others, so she waved her hand and said, "She's already drunk, you haven't practiced martial arts before. If you can't handle her, go to rest first, I'll be fine."
Lu He knew that what Bai Qian said was reasonable, Fu Fushen put the tray with sober stones and sour plum juice on the low table beside the bed and stepped back.
Bai Qian didn't know that Cangwu Jingyuan, who usually looks so proud and fierce, was rambunctious like a child when she was drunk. She coaxed her softly several times before she opened her mouth. Bai Qian picked up the sober stone in the tray Bring it to her lips for her to swallow.
But Cangwu Jingyuan opened her lips, took the sober stone together with Bai Qian's hand into her mouth, and sucked lightly as if there was nothing there.
Bai Qian's heart beat suddenly a little faster, her face was slightly red, and she quickly pulled out the index finger held by Cangwu Jingyuan, and secretly looked away at Jing Yuan on the bed, but saw that she still didn't know it. The ground looks like a smirk.
Shaking her head, calming down a little bit of chaotic mood, Bai Qian hugged Cangwu Jingyuan horizontally, put the clothes together and sent them into the bathtub in the bathroom next to her.
The bathing pool was sprinkled with all kinds of flower petals that are good for refreshing the mind, and together with the steaming white mist, Bai Qian covered up the embarrassment of helping Jing Yuan take off her clothes.
"For the sake of your drunkenness today, I will serve you for a while, and if you do this again next time, I will ignore you." Bai Qian said while pulling Jing Yuan into the bathing pool, her face was steamed by the heat. One or the other is full of blush.
One hand was around Jing Yuan's waist to prevent her from falling into the pool when she was fussy. With the other hand, Bai Qian helped her take off the clothes one by one with difficulty. The delicate and white shoulders gradually appeared in Bai Qian's eyes, and the delicate and round crisp. Under the cover of bath soup and flower petals, it is looming, but it is not difficult to see its perfect and attractive arc.
There was heat all over her body, as if she was bewitched, Bai Qian gently stretched out her hand and slid across the roundness, the astonishing softness made Bai Qian's face flush with fire, and she withdrew her hand like an electric shock, Bai Qian suddenly felt that she might just It's the drunk one, what the hell are you doing while she's drunk...
Shaking her head, Bai Qian quickly calmed down, leaned Cangwu Jingyuan's body on the edge of the bath, and neatly pulled her hair, and Bai Qian began to concentrate on scrubbing her.
Maybe the sober stone had some effect, Cangwu Jingyuan finally calmed down, and let out a comfortable grunt, leaning against the edge of the bath, staring straight at Bai Qian with a pair of black eyes with a bit of drunkenness.
Bai Qian's face became hot when she saw her, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes.
"The east wind blows thousands of trees at night. It blows down, the stars are like rain, and the road is filled with the fragrance of BMW carving cars. The sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot, and the dance of fish and dragons all night." Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly remembered the morning class The "Sapphire Case" taught by the Shang Taifu began to read with his lips lightly.
Bai Qian was stunned and then subconsciously continued: "Moth snow willow golden strands, smiling and fragrant. I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place."
"I looked for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place..." Cangwu Jingyuan repeated this sentence in a low voice.
Bai Qian's mind fluttered, and she raised her head slightly, but just met the eyes of Cang Wu Jingyuan, the deep affection in those eyes made Bai Qian flustered for a while, and wanted to get up, but was pulled into the water again by Cangwu Jingyuan the next second middle.
In the splash of water, Cangwu Jingyuan leaned forward as if bewitched, and kissed her pale lips.
The sweet smell of wine was still on her lips, and the soft touch of her lips was intoxicating, Bai Qian froze, until Cangwu Jingyuan's soft tongue intended to probe into her mouth, Bai Qian suddenly regained consciousness, flustered Pushing Cangwu Jingyuan away.
Cangwu Jingyuan was pushed into the water in a daze, choking on saliva and waving her arms in the water.
Bai Qian came back to her senses and realized that she was still drunk, so she hurriedly fished her out of the water, but her eyes didn't dare to look at her again, her heart was beating like a drum, she hurriedly pulled a cloth towel to dry her body and changed into clothes Liner, and carried her to the bed and pulled the quilt, and then left in a hurry.
Cangwu Jingyuan woke up the next day, only to feel that she had a severe headache, thinking of drinking with the noble gentleman under the tree yesterday, she only regretted that she shouldn't drink too much.
Luhe, who walked into the bedroom with a water basin, found that Cangwu Jingyuan was awake, so she hurried forward and handed over the soaked handkerchief, "Master, you're sober! Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wiping her face with a handkerchief that had been soaked in cold water, Cangwu Jingyuan felt a lot more awake. Looking at her underwear, which had obviously been changed, Cangwu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, and found that she had actually drank a piece of wine. , turned to look at Lu He beside him and asked: "You helped me bathe and change clothes yesterday?"
Lu He glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan and said while helping her prepare the clothes for today: "Bachelor Bai sent the princess back and then took the princess to take a bath and change clothes. Princess, you don't remember it!"
"What?" Cangwu Jingyuan sat up from the bed in a jerk, even though she had lived a new life, she couldn't help but blush at the thought of helping her bathe and change her clothes, and knocked on her head, which was obviously a bit dull, Cangwu Wu Jingyuan tried hard to remember what happened last night.
She only remembered that she was drunk and her mind was in a daze, and then the bathroom was filled with fragrant petals, thin mist, and white and soft lips...
lips? ? ?Cangwu Jingyuan jumped up from the bed as if a spirited carp in his heart, looked at Luhe and said in confusion: "Quick! Help me change my clothes, I'm going to Xueyang Palace..."
Drinking really hurts people, Bai Qian saw that she was drunk, so she kindly stayed to help her take a bath, but she was fine, why did she get so aggressive last night that she was treated lightly?
Thinking that Bai Qian might be annoyed by this incident, causing her to misunderstand that she was playing tricks on her on purpose, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't sit still for a moment, she simply tidied up her hair and put on her clothes without even washing her face. Ben Xueyang Palace.
But what Cangwu Jingyuan didn't expect was that when he arrived at Xueyang Palace, he was told by Qiu Rong that today the general had won a great victory and returned to court, and the empress had brought a group of courtiers to the south gate to meet the general, and Bai Qian also in it.
Cangwu Jingyuan thought that she might still see Bai Qian when she rushed to the south gate, but she just took two steps and turned back.
"Qiu Rong." Cangwu Jingyuan called Bai Qian's maid, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "When your master came back last night, did you feel anything strange?"
Strange?Qiurong looked at the somewhat weird fourth princess, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Master came back last night, her clothes were soaked and her face was very red. The servant girl asked what was going on, and the master said that she was caught while walking. The wind dazzled my eyes, and I accidentally fell into the pond, and the servants were afraid that the master would have a fever, so they made her a bowl of ginger tea."
Cangwu Jingyuan's face became hot when she heard the words, and she hurried to the south gate without asking any more questions.
However, because the general returned from a great victory this time, the queen did not invite Cangwu Jingyuan to go to greet him, and naturally Cangwu Jingyuan would not come up to him with a hot face and a cold ass, watching from a distance the queen and the others in Nanmen City Outside, Cangwu Jingyuan climbed onto the platform of the south gate.
Looking up, I could see General Shen Xiao walking slowly towards the south gate on a black steed from a distance. He was sitting upright on the horse, and his black armor revealed a majestic but deadly look in the sun. Her two slightly frowned thick eyebrows made her look calm and majestic, and behind her was an orderly general of Cangwu soldiers.
Although the sun was shining brightly, Cangwu Jingyuan still felt a chill in his heart. This is the great general of Cangwu Kingdom, thirsty for the blood of the enemy, eating the meat of barbarians with a smile, and decisive in killing. Your honor, you still have to give the imperial husband three points of face, no wonder Cangwu Jinxiu is arrogant and domineering, and still refuses to change after repeated prohibitions.
With such a big backing, it can indeed be regarded as a kind of capital, but I don't know whether this General Shen is loyal to the Cangwu Kingdom or her Shen family...
While Cangwu Jingyuan was thinking, Shen Xiao had already got off the horse. He clasped his fists in his hands, half-kneeled on the ground, and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Chen Xiao, I pay my respects to Your Majesty the Empress."
"General, please get up." The queen stepped forward and helped Shen Xiao up herself.
"Your Majesty, now that the foreign invaders have withdrawn from the country's borders, I am fortunate that I did not disgrace my life."
The queen's eyes were full of praise, she nodded and said: "General Shen has worked hard!"
"Protecting the family and the country is what I should do, why bother?" Shen Xiao spoke with such irony that everyone present was moved.
The empress was obviously very happy, she turned to face the ministers, and said passionately: "It is my blessing to have such a general, come here, prepare a banquet, tonight I will welcome the great general to wash away the dust. "
"Thousands of ages, Cangwu will last forever, long live my emperor." All the officials knelt down, and Cangwu Jingyuan looked down and saw that Bai Qian was among them.
When returning to the palace, Bai Qian seemed to be thinking about something, her pace was very slow, and the empress was so focused on chatting with Shen Xiao that she didn't care about her.
Cangwu Jingyuan saw this scene in his eyes, hesitating whether to catch up, and didn't know what to say, so he followed all the way behind, who knew this, he followed directly into the palace from the south gate.
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan and Bai Qian walking one behind the other, the maid in the palace hurried forward to salute, "See Bachelor Bai and Fourth Princess."
When Bai Qian heard the maid's address, she was slightly taken aback, then turned her head and saw Cangwu Jingyuan behind her.
Raising her hand to signal the maid to step back, Bai Qian paused but still walked towards Cangwu Jingyuan, her voice was so faint that she couldn't hear the emotion, "Why did the princess go to the south gate instead of going to the south study room for morning class?"
Cangwu Jingyuan rubbed her nose, and said in a somewhat bewildered voice: "I went to Xueyang Palace to find you in the morning, and I heard from Qiurong that the great general is still in the court after a big victory, so you all go to the south gate to meet him, I am anxious to see you." You followed."
"Then why is the princess looking for me in such a hurry?"
"Bai Qian, I, I was drunk last night..." Cangwu Jingyuan touched her nose with her hands, and raised her eyes carefully to see Bai Qian's expression.
Hearing Cangwu Jingyuan's words, Bai Qian felt a little bit bitter and disappointed, but she still said calmly: "I know that the princess is drunk, so nothing happened last night, and I will not ask the princess for an explanation. , so the princess can rest assured." Said Bai Qian turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Bai Qian's tone of rejection and distance, Cangwu Jingyuan knew she had misunderstood, grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Although I'm drunk, I know who I'm facing. , I also know what I'm doing, I came to you today just to explain to you because of my abrupt behavior, but Bai Qian, I don't intend to apologize, because that's what I always wanted to do!"
Seeing Bai Qian looking at her in astonishment, Cangwu Jingyuan shook her hand, looked straight into her eyes and said, "Yesterday, what your lord said kind of woke me up, I shouldn't lose my fear just because of fear." If you get hurt, choose to escape, which will not only hurt me, but also hurt you at the same time."
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan's unusually solemn appearance, Bai Qian's heart beat like a drum, guessing her intention faintly with anticipation and joy.
Cangwu Jingyuan took a deep breath and continued, "Bai Qian, I miss me..."
"Bachelor Bai, the empress calls you to the Chengqing Hall for a banquet." The maid's untimely voice sounded from the side, and Bai Qian hurriedly pulled out the hand held by Cangwu Jingyuan, and deliberately covered it up: "The fourth princess' wrist is probably sprained. It's not a serious problem, you should be fine when you go back to the palace and rest for a few days, since the queen summons the servants, I will take my leave first." After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly followed the maid to the Chengqing Hall.
This court lady had a grudge against her in her previous life!Cangwu Jingyuan curled her lips into a wry smile, feeling helpless to the extreme, thinking of the pale expression just now, she couldn't tell whether she had forgiven herself for a while, after thinking about it again, Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly felt that it was not bad to be interrupted by the maid, Since I want to express my heart, of course I should choose a good time, the environment just now was obviously too informal.
Don't folks and men and women express their love to each other by giving each other things?I took Bai Qian's puppet, shouldn't I also prepare something for her?
Night came quietly, and all the ministers, princes and princesses gathered in the Chengqing Palace.
The Dust Cleaning Banquet held in Chengqing Hall today is obviously more grand than the previous Peony Poetry Banquet. Cangwu Jingyuan changed into a dress under the service of Lu He and arrived at Chengqing Hall and took a seat under the guidance of the maid.
The seating order of the princes and princesses is arranged in order of seniority, and the fourth princess Cangwu Jingyuan and the fifth prince Cangwu Jingrui happen to be at the same table.
Cangwu Jingrui was obviously in high spirits today, looking at the imperial husband in front of the palace who was dressed more exquisitely and luxuriously than before and Cangwu Jinxiu who was wearing gold hairpins, he couldn't help laughing, and leaned closer to Cangwu Jingyuan's ear Pan lowered his voice and said, "Hey, sister Huang, do you think their father and daughter look like animals today?"
Cangwu Jingyuan knew that Cangwu Jingrui always hated contrived people, and she hated the emperor's husband and the eldest princess so much, she simply had nothing to do, raised her eyebrows and said, "What animal?"
"Like the plump golden pheasant raised by Beigong's back kitchen."
Cangwu Jingyuan almost spewed out the fruit wine she had just drank, quickly covered her lips, and looked at the first two people, the upper yellow and lower red are really similar to the golden pheasant's coat color, and she couldn't help but also curled her lips He glanced at Cangwu Jingrui and said, "This is at a banquet, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds!"
Cangwu Jingrui stuck out his tongue and raised his eyebrows and said, "Shen He talked too much tonight, a hundred acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold, isn't it enough for the Shen family to take over?"
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyes to look at the queen, and she found that although she was smiling, there was already a hint of sullenness in her eyes.
"The more rewards, the better." Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled and said in a low voice: "Although General Shen has meritorious service, it is not his congratulations. How many soldiers are still homeless now? But never know."
Cangwu Jingrui also seemed to think of those soldiers who risked their lives to defend their homes and country, so he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Cangwu Jingyuan also looked at the first few people with thoughts.
Perhaps it was because Shen Xiao was still in court, and the imperial husband felt confident. She seemed very proud tonight, and her voice was a little higher than usual.
Cangwu Jingyuan was still thinking about what new tricks he would come up with at first, but in the end, he still talked about those words that praised his Shen family, so he couldn't help but feel a little boring, and started to fiddle with the food on the table in boredom, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the good bow will be hidden; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey will cook.Shen He can be considered shrewd on weekdays, but today he seems to have lost his sense of proportion. The general has made meritorious deeds in protecting the country, and rewards should be given, but he shouldn't ask for them.
As an emperor, one is afraid that his ministers will make great achievements, and the other is that the power of the harem will increase. Shen He is now trying to push himself on these two paths, which is really stupid.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a scream, Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyes and saw a maid serving wine kneeling tremblingly on the ground, begging for mercy from your lord, obviously she poured wine on your lord.
Shen Chen was not the kind of person who cares about it, so he waved his hand and let the little maid go down, but the clothes were wet, and it was uncomfortable to wear, and because Cheng'en Hall was quite far from Chaoyang Palace, Shen Chen was in another nearby The palace changes clothes.
"Okay, you go down." Shen Chenping returned the clothes to the maid, and began to change, but after changing, she found that something was wrong. There was an unusual fragrance in the room, and it seemed to be that extremely Obscene Meixiang.
Suspicious in his heart, he went to the incense burner to pick up some incense ash and sniffed it.
Shen Chen couldn't help sneering, the general had just returned to court, and this group of people couldn't wait any longer, and they used sweet fragrances and other things on her one after another, did he really think that Shen Chen was a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others?
Thinking of this, Shen Chen took out a pill from his sleeve and swallowed it, then pretended to be fascinated by the fragrance and lay limp on the bed.
After a while, he heard a slight knock on the door, followed by light footsteps gradually approaching.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped when approaching the bed, and then Shen Chen felt a slender hand reaching out to turn his body.
He took advantage of the situation and slowly turned over, and suddenly his hand was like lightning, and he grabbed the hand of the visitor.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!" The maid screamed in fright, but it was the maid who brought the robe just now. The strange thing is that this person has no martial arts.
Shen Chen thought about it for a while, and then figured out the vicious thoughts behind this - if he was really stunned, then the little maid would climb onto the bed and pretend to be forced by him. Weak victims, anyone will believe the latter, and it will be really hard to argue by then.
Although Cangwu Lingshuang has always been accommodating to him, it doesn't mean he can bear his betrayal, let alone what happened with He Qi before.
Thinking of He Qi, Shen Chen felt a pain in his heart, raised his hand and knocked the maid unconscious, placed her on the bed, then walked out as if nothing happened.
After walking a few steps, a drunk man bumped into Shen Chen. The man looked very arrogant and didn't apologize. He yelled how much credit he had made for Cangwu. When the person's face changed, he changed his mind.
It just so happened that a guard came over, saw the man hit the nobleman and uttered wild words, so he hurriedly scolded him.
But Shen Chen stopped the guards, and ordered the guards to send him to rest in the other palace where he had just changed clothes, saying that he should not neglect Cangwu's great hero.
"You are a sensible person. When the uncle becomes famous one day, I will definitely let you... Ouch!" The guards hated him, so he pushed him into the palace gate and left. Shen Chen looked at the back of the guards leaving , turned around and walked towards Chaoyang Palace.
The Cheng'en Hall was full of joy and harmony, and the scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers, but no one noticed that Shen Chen left and never returned.
During this time, Cangwu Jingyuan once left the table, and as soon as she left the door, she saw Shen Ye following behind her not too close or far away. Cangwu Jingyuan became alert, and she deliberately walked slowly, wanting to see Shen Ye Will you always follow or come up to strike up a conversation.
After a while, Shen Ye couldn't hold back anymore, and walked forward, but he didn't speak, just handed a note to Cangwu Jingyuan with a smile, and then walked away quickly, Cangwu Jingyuan opened the note and found It said that she should go to the lakeside of the Royal Garden to express their hearts to each other.
Complain to each other?Of course, Cangwu Jingyuan would not be so foolish as to believe that Shen Ye really wanted to spend time with her, but when soldiers came to block her and water came to cover her, she wanted to see what kind of moth the Shen family was planning to make.
Cangwu Jingyuan looked up at the moon hidden in the night, feeling a heavy invisible conspiracy attacking him.
"Dark clouds overwhelm the city, and the light of armor opens to the golden scales of the sun..." She murmured and walked towards the imperial garden.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ye was really waiting by the imperial garden, he turned his head and sneered at himself, his appearance looked a little distorted.
Cangwu Jingyuan felt that something was wrong, and was about to turn around when she was knocked unconscious by a hand knife.
Before she fell into a coma, Cangwu Jingyuan bit the tip of her tongue hard. The pain caused Cangwu Jingyuan to wake up quickly, but she didn't open her eyes. She found that she was being carried to an unknown place , she estimated that this should be a remote and dilapidated palace, because it was surrounded by rotten and stale smells.
Thinking about it, Cangwu Jingyuan opened her eyes slightly, and saw two people whose faces were tightly covered by hoods put themselves on the ground, and couldn't recognize who they were by their figures.
After a while, Cangwu Jingyuan heard deliberately light footsteps, accompanied by heavy breathing, and then she felt a hand undoing her clothes.
court death!As soon as this idea came out, she immediately opened her eyes. The big man who was sent to destroy Cangwu Jingyuan's innocence was taken aback at first, but then she thought about it, no matter how fierce she was, she was just a helpless little girl. Girl, she recovered after a while.
Cangwu Jingyuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, she twisted her wrist and folded the big man's wrist in half.
The big man cried out in pain, and swung his fist to force Cangwu Jingyuan back, but found that he was no match at all, so he was restrained immediately, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Princess, please forgive me, I was also ordered by someone."
"Say, who are you? Since you know I'm a princess, how dare you be rude to me?" Cangwu Jingyuan's subordinates didn't relax at all, and asked in a cold voice with calm eyes.
She has a vague guess as to who is behind the scenes, but suffers from no evidence.
"Princess, princess, the little one doesn't know anything, and the little one takes money from others to do things for others!"
"Whose money do you collect and who do you work for?"
"You can't tell the little ones, you will be killed if you say so!"
The man kept begging for mercy, and Cangwu Jingyuan lost her patience. She pressed her knee against the man's back and said sharply, "If you don't tell me now, I will kill you right away!"
The man couldn't bear the pain, and immediately shouted indiscriminately: "I said, I said! The one who gave me the money is..."
But before the man finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and drooped his head, bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Cangwu Jingyuan was startled and hurriedly chased him out, but found that there was no one outside. She turned back to check the cause of the man's death, and found that the man's throat had been pierced by a very thin silver needle, and there should be poison on the needle. .
She looked at the black blood oozing from the man's neck bit by bit, and frowned.
She didn't understand that she was just a powerless fourth princess in the eyes of outsiders. Although she had made some progress, anyone with a little discernment would know that Cangwu Jinxiu and Cangwu Lingxue were the most favored.
Who is it that has always wanted to put himself to death like this?It should be unlikely that it will be Cangwu Jinxiu, after all, this woman is a master who makes a lot of noise and little rain, and with her warning last time, she should not be so stupid as to make another move in such a short time.
So could it be the Shen family?But tonight the empress held a celebration banquet for Shen Xiao, if it was really the Shen family, then why did they choose to do it tonight?
Thinking about it, Cangwu Jingyuan thought of another person, Cangwu Lingxue, after all, he hadn't seen her for several days.
Cangwu Jingyuan didn't dare to stay in this remote palace for too long, the enemy was in the dark and she was in the light, so she couldn't be sure that the other party would use other tricks, so she hurriedly adjusted her clothes and went out.
On the other hand, because he couldn't get away from all the officials, he felt uneasy in his heart.
Although she didn't have a chance to talk to Jing Yuan at the banquet, she kept paying attention to her quietly. Just when she saw her leave the Chengqing Palace, Bai Qian felt a little uneasy. A big banquet was held tonight, and many officials and their family members were invited , the palace was already mixed with fish and snakes, Jing Yuan went out for a long time and didn't come back, Bai Qian became more and more worried.
After pondering for a moment, she finally couldn't sit still, she pushed off several ministers who came to toast, got up and left the palace.
Both of them left the table, which naturally attracted the Queen's attention. She said half-jokingly: "I think it's because I'm usually too serious that these young people can't sit still and run straight out. gone."
After hearing this, Shen Xiao also laughed, took a sip of wine, and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he is not angry but powerful. I think the juniors are not afraid of His Majesty, but because there is something new and interesting outside. They broke their hearts, so they ran out one by two."
"Unexpectedly, you and I have reached the age of being an elder." The queen said with some emotion: "I still remember that when I was their age, I was just a monkey who loved to run outside and eat and play. You want to taste it, have fun, and you don’t like the things that Baba holds in front of you, and you like to do it secretly, it’s more interesting.”
"Your Majesty is still young, Your Majesty's health and well-being is the greatest blessing for our Cangwu Kingdom!" As soon as Shen Xiao finished speaking, all the ministers also joined in congratulations: "Your Majesty's health and well-being is indeed my court's blessing."
"Okay, okay, it's a rare time, so don't be so cautious." Because of everyone's compliments, the queen seemed in a good mood, she looked at Shen Xiao's son Shen Ye, and suddenly asked again: "Shen Ye, You are also a young man, why don't you go out and play with your younger brothers and sisters?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I often wish I could not follow my father to guard the frontiers, nor can I fulfill my son's filial piety. Now that my father has finally come back, the son will naturally have to accompany him. There is no reason to be playful."
Shen Ye's words were full of filial piety, and the empress was a little moved when she heard it: "It seems that you are more filial than my sons and daughters."
"I don't dare." Shen Ye cupped his fists again and saluted, seeing his uncle gave him an approving look.
"Shen Ye, you are already eighteen this year, right?" Shen Ye was a little puzzled when the queen asked his age, but he still answered "Yes" respectfully.
"Then you have a woman you like in your heart. If you have one, why not take advantage of your mother's presence today, and I'll just act like an adult and give you a marriage?"
Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand if the queen was trying to test her. When he raised his head and saw the smile on the queen's face, he hesitated and said, "I... want to win the girl's heart by myself."
He said this very cleverly, without admitting whether it was true or not, it could prevent the empress from messing around with him, and it didn't cut off the possibility of himself and others.
The queen stopped talking after hearing the words, and concentrated on watching the performance.
"Your Majesty, why hasn't Shen Guijun come here after changing his clothes for so long? Even if he walked back to the Chaoyang Palace to change, he might have already come here. Don't be drunk, just lie down somewhere to enjoy the cool air, and then he should be caught by the bees again." It's all over." It was Shen He who said this, he looked at the empty seat with his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
"It's my negligence." The queen said and ordered the waiters standing by to bring Shen Chen back.
As a result, not long after, the palace servant came back and said a few words by the empress's side. The empress's smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and she said in a cold voice, "Are you reading that right?"
