The Favoured Medical Princess: 773 Trap
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The third princess stood there dumbfounded for a long time, her heart in a mess. Xiao Fei's reaction was completely beyond her expectation, leaving her wondering how to deal with it next...
In comparison, Xiao Fei, who was sitting at the bottom, still looked calm and composed.
The room became quiet and silent.
"Your Highness the Third Princess," Xiao Fei's cold and clear eyes stared at the Third Princess for a moment, and continued, "Don't forget where you are at the moment. Southern Xinjiang is a prosperous Southern Xinjiang. , and it is also the southern border of the Zhennan Palace. Your Highness should think twice before doing anything!"
Xiao Fei's words sounded meaningful. The third princess's pupils shrank sharply, and her delicate body trembled slightly, as if there was a lump in her throat.
She couldn't help but think of the incident where she was forced to marry Lu Jiu, and the scenes were still before her eyes.
This is the biggest humiliation she has ever suffered in her life!
In the past, how could she imagine that besides her father, someone else would dare to decide her marriage? This was the first time she experienced that her majestic princess could be manipulated by others...
The third princess wanted to behead both Zhennan Palace and Pingyang Marquis, but she was helpless.
As Xiao Fei said, this is southern Xinjiang, and this is the territory of the Zhennan Palace. Once he spreads any news that is not conducive to the Zhennan Palace, Pingyang Hou, the lackey of the Zhennan Palace, may attack him. I will stay in the barbarian land of Southern Xinjiang forever, and even bury my bones here...
So——
"Xiao Fei, are you threatening me?" The third princess clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, dug her nails deeply into her tender palms, and said angrily through gritted teeth.
Xiao Fei looked at the uncertain face of the third princess calmly and said: "Your Highness, the third princess, the choice is up to you. I will say this."
Xiao Fei said no more, and looked directly into the eyes of the third princess without anger, hatred or joy... without a trace of emotion, as if what she was looking at was not the princess of Dayu, but an ordinary person. woman.
Before coming, the third princess was full of confidence. Unexpectedly, in just a short cup of tea, the positions of her and Xiao Fei had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Is Xiao Fei really fearless, or is she just showing off?
Do you want to return in vain?
The third princess bit her lower lip, which was almost bloodless. She was unwilling to give in!
And Xiao Fei has already picked up the tea cup again, making the gesture of serving tea to see off the guests.
The third princess glared at Xiao Fei fiercely for a moment, and finally left angrily.
Xiao Fei didn't even look at the third princess, but still drank tea slowly and calmly. Taoyao on the side looked at her girl and couldn't help but think to herself: The girl is really looking more and more like the imperial concubine.
After the third princess left, Yuebijuli returned to its original calmness, and the autumn breeze blew slowly.
At dusk, the sky suddenly became gloomy and rain fell continuously. The rain lasted for three consecutive days. Xiao Yu and the two cats, who could not go out to play, were bored in the house, and they were so depressed that they even "meow" I have no strength left...
On the eighth day of October, the drizzle seemed to show no sign of stopping. Early that morning, Zhu Xing finally sorted out the flying pigeon letters from the capital and presented them to Nangong Yue's small study.
In the past few days, Xiao Yu, who has nowhere to go, has been "accompanying" his mother in the house to deal with various affairs every day, and today is no exception. He is wearing a cute cat costume and flexibly laying out the long-haired carpet. Crawling around in the small study room, chasing a small rattan ball.
"Ling Ling..."
The bell in the ball makes a crisp sound as it rolls, which also makes the originally quiet and solemn small study more lively.
After the little guy picked up the takraw ball, he climbed up to his mother, grabbed the takraw ball in his hand and shook it at her, looking at her expectantly, as if to say, Mom, let’s play together.
Nangong Yue took the sepak takraw ball and threw it casually. The little guy was so happy that he immediately turned around and chased after it. His flexible back was like a chubby giant cat. The magpie who was watching could not help but reveal an expression that was hard to explain on his face.
Nangong Yue continued to look at the stack of letters placed on the desk, one after another. Although she only browsed them briefly, she soon noticed that Kui Lang had close contact with Prince Gongjun's palace.
As the prince of Baiyue, Kui Lang's situation in the royal capital is really too delicate. In the royal capital, I am afraid that most of the palaces do not dare to interact with him. This makes the palace of Gongjun, who has frequent interactions with him, appear... Especially outstanding...
Nangong Yue calmed down while flipping the letter, and couldn't help but think of Chen Yi who was in the city now. There was probably some Chen Yi who was playing a matchmaking role between the two parties.
Han Lingfu has always been unprofitable, so he would probably not interact with Kuilang without any interests. What agreement did they reach?
Could it be that Kui Lang’s unknown “heir” is related to Prince Gong’s palace?
Nangong Yue couldn't help but have this thought in her mind, and her index finger thoughtfully rubbed the corner of the silk paper.
Kui Lang's connections in the royal capital are limited, and apart from Prince Gong's Mansion, she really can't think of any other possibility.
But when I thought about it again, something seemed not quite right.
Kui Lang has held real power in Baiyue for many years and is headstrong and arrogant. With his character, even if he secretly reached an agreement with Prince Gong's Palace, he would not be able to leave his only bloodline in Prince Gong's Palace. Let Han Lingfu, Prince of Gongjun, have such a big handle on him!
Unless there is another unknown reason...
Nangong Yue’s fingers holding the silk paper subconsciously exerted a little force and continued to flip through the letters below.
The Fei Ge letters sent to Xiao Yi all related to the overall situation of the country, so they did not mention too many irrelevant things. Nangong Yue read the rest of the letters and found nothing useful. clue.
She straightened up and was about to move her body when she heard another ringing sound.
Little Xiao Yu grabbed the sepak takraw ball and climbed to Nangong Yue's side, and handed the ball into her hand again. The implication was self-evident.
Nangong Yue laughed, and helped him throw the sepak takraw ball on the ground. The ball rolled out again, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed in the small study again...
Nangong Yue played with little Xiao Yu for a while, and the little guy started to yawn sleepily, rubbed his eyes and lay on the plush carpet, refusing to move. Nangong Yue had no choice but to pick him up, pat him gently, and put him on the beauty's couch. The little guy was so coaxed that he fell asleep and fell unconscious after a while.
The little guy had a lot of fun just now. His fair and tender face was as red as rouge. He looked like a porcelain doll. Nangong Yue felt soft in her heart and couldn't help but kiss him. He rubbed his cheeks, straightened his hair, squeezed his little hands, and couldn't help but whisper softly: "Brother Yu, why can't you call me Niang?"
Quie'er smiled and comforted Nangong Yue: "Prince Concubine, my little grandson is so smart, he will definitely learn it soon."
Nangong Yue laughed, too, why bother, she still has a long time!
Huamei said: "When the little grandson can speak in the future, the imperial concubine will just ask the little grandson to bark a few more times..."
The two maids tried to make Nangong Yue happy, but the little guy slept without moving his eyelids from beginning to end.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of curtain lifting, and Bai Hui, wearing a blue jacket, walked in quickly. When she saw that Xiao Shisun was sleeping, she immediately slowed down her steps.
Baihui walked closer, knelt down and saluted, then lowered her voice and said: "Prince Princess, just now Butler Zhu sent a new letter of flying pigeons." While speaking, Baihui presented a folded letter Long strips of tissue paper.
Nangong Yue, who was sitting next to the beauty's couch, quickly unfolded the tissue paper and scanned it once, then her expression became condensed and she couldn't hide the astonishment in her eyes.
A close friend? !
Her eyes rested on the four words on the silk paper for a long time...
According to this secret letter, during this period, there was an **** rumor about Prince Gongjun’s palace that was widely circulated in Wangdu. The rumors vividly stated that Prince Gong secretly had a “marriage marriage” with others because of the difficulty of having heirs. It was only after the scandal of Ren Zhijia that the little emperor grandson was born.
How could Nangong Yue not know the allusion of "good friends", the look on her face was a little strange.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of Kuilang's unknown heir...
For a moment, Nangong Yue's expression was as if she had been struck by lightning.
The maids on the side had never seen the Crown Princess show such an expression before, so they couldn't help but look at each other, vaguely feeling that something terrible had happened in the capital.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes again, seemingly staring at the piece of paper, but in fact her mind was already far away.
That’s it!
Could it be that the child Bai Muxiao gave birth to was Kui Lang's?
This guess sounds ridiculous at first, but after careful consideration, you will find that what you thought was wrong before becomes more reasonable... That's why Kui Lang "must" keep the child in the palace of Prince Gong.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's expression became cautious and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
If her guess is correct, then Zhang Yi’s intention of coming to southern Xinjiang this time is even more worthy of consideration...
"Meow!"
A soft cat meow suddenly came from the window. The little guy on the beauty's couch suddenly opened his eyes and also cried out: "Meow!"
He struggled to sit up on his own, and with his **** and white eyes open, he searched around for the cat's whereabouts. His little face was full of enthusiasm. As the little guy woke up, the Bixiaotang became lively and noisy again. Get up...
No one noticed that the drizzle outside stopped at some point. As the rain stopped, the clouds that had lasted for several days finally dissipated, and the number of pedestrians walking on the street became denser again.
A green-covered carriage galloped from one end of the street and stopped at the entrance of Yuelai Inn. A pretty maid in green clothes stepped out of the carriage and hurried up to the room where the clothes were kept on the second floor.
"Your Highness the Saint," Lorna saluted and shook her head helplessly, "Your Highness the Third Princess still disagrees..."
Zhang Yi, who was leaning against the window, looked down at the muddy ground outside, silent, her pink lips pressed tightly into a straight line.
The day before yesterday, the third princess sent someone to convey Xiao Fei’s words truthfully. Hearing this, Zhui Yi felt extremely angry. How could she be willing to let Xiao Fei go like this? She racked her brains to try to persuade the third princess to let Xiao Fei go. The story was revealed, but the third princess seemed to be frightened out of her wits. She refused to agree no matter how hard Bai Yi tried to coerce her.
Compared to the day before yesterday, Zhang Yi's mood has calmed down a lot.
Lorna asked cautiously: "Your Highness the Saint, what should we do next?"
After putting on clothes, he didn't speak for a while, half-lowering his eyes.
She has been delayed in Luoyue City for long enough. Since the third princess is no longer needed, it is meaningless for her to continue to stay in Luoyue City...
She has come all the way to southern Xinjiang this time and has more important things to do!
Looking at the dripping eaves, Zhang Yi made up his mind, stood up suddenly and firmly ordered: "Lorna, pack your bags quickly, we will leave for Baiyue immediately."
Now that the rain has stopped, it's time for her to leave.
"Yes, Your Highness the Saint." Lorna responded quickly.
They didn't bring much with them. Half an hour later, they checked out of the Yuelai Inn and headed towards the city gate.
As the carriage approached the city gate, the streets suddenly became crowded, and the speed of the carriage slowed down.
Chang Yi frowned slightly, and was about to ask Lorna to go see what was going on, when he heard the sound of a woman talking outside, which attracted Cheng Yi's attention:
"Sister Li, is the shop you are talking about right in front, the one with the most people?"
"Yes, that's right! It's that shop. Today is the fourth day of opening. I heard that it was opened by a caravan from Nanman and is selling jade from Nanman!"
"Aunt Wang, who lives next door to me, also went there yesterday and said that the bracelets sold there are nearly half cheaper than those in southern Xinjiang..."
"..."
The women walked away as they talked.
The Nanman they were referring to was Baiyue. The man in the carriage was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then told Lorna: "Lorna, go to that shop and ask them about it." She said. It’s been too long since I left Baiyue, and I don’t know how Baiyue is doing now...
Lorna responded immediately and hurriedly got out of the carriage, while Zhang Yi asked the groom to drive the carriage to a small alley nearby and waited anxiously in the carriage.
At this time, time passed particularly slowly. I don’t know how long it took. There was a rush of footsteps outside the carriage. The footsteps were slightly messy. Then the curtain of the carriage was opened from the outside. Lorna’s familiar voice The face came into view. There was almost no blood on her face, and her eyes were filled with fear, as if she had seen a ghost.
Zhang Yi frowned slightly, an ominous premonition vaguely emerging in his heart.
It wasn't until Lorna walked into the carriage again that he noticed that she was shaking. Lorna and she had seen a lot of big scenes. Even when she heard that His Highness Kuilang was murdered in southern Xinjiang, Lorna didn't Live like this.
"Your Highness the Holy...Saint," Lorna said tremblingly, even forgetting to salute, and reported in one breath, "The people in the shop said that I, Baiyue, have been defeated by Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan. Now Xiao Yi has established himself as king in Baiyue and eradicated dissidents."
After a pause, Lorna struggled to squeeze out the last sentence: "Baiyue has changed!"
For a moment, Zhang Yi was like a thunderbolt from the blue. She couldn't believe her ears and stood up suddenly in shock.
How is this possible? !
If the Southern Xinjiang Army had captured Baiyue, she believed it, but if Xiao Yi established himself as king in Baiyue, wouldn't he be treason? Rebellion means confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
Not to mention Emperor Dayu, even the King of Zhennan would not be able to tolerate such a rebellious behavior by his son!
Impossible. Baiyi said to himself in his heart, and then asked a series of questions with difficulty: "When did this happen? How is the false king Nuhar doing now? And where are the sixth princes?"
They can't possibly let Xiao Yi do whatever he wants in Baiyue!
"..." Lorna opened and closed her mouth, speechless.
Just now, she was so frightened by the news she heard that she almost fainted. How could she still think about this?
Zhui Yi's face became even uglier. He felt as if a big hole had been dug in his heart, with the cold wind blowing in it. He felt weak and restless.
She originally wanted Lorna to ask again, but as she spoke, she changed her mind. Baiyue suffered such a huge change, how could she still be in the mood to wait here.
While putting on the clothes and putting on the curtain hat, he asked: "Take me to that shop."
Lorna responded quickly, and then the master and servant got out of the carriage and walked forward under Lorna's guidance.
After a while, Lorna pointed to a shop in front with a "Yushenghua" sign and said: "Your Majesty, that's the shop."
At first glance, the shop was doing a good job. There was an endless stream of customers coming in and out, making it very lively and noisy.
As soon as the master and servant dressed in clothes walked to the door, a man with a mustache came up to them and ushered them in. There were seven or eight men and women in the shop looking at jade at the counter.
Zhang Yi glanced around calmly, and then asked casually: "Brother, I heard that all the jade here comes from Baiyue?"
"Yes." The waiter hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, little lady, our shopkeeper brought this jade back from the Southern Barbarians with us personally. He is an innocent child."
Zhang Yi sighed in surprise: "So, little brother, you have also been to Baiyue?"
The clerk puffed up his chest and said proudly: "What's there! We traders have traveled all over the world and have never been anywhere." As he said that, he looked up and down the clothes in a strange way, "The young lady seems to be particularly interested in Nanman. ..."
Zhang Yi was impatient and could only say casually: "Brother, in fact, my two brothers also went to Baiyue to do business two months ago and have not returned yet. My family is very worried, so just by chance I heard that the people in this shop had just returned from doing business in Baiyue, so I took the liberty to come over and ask for advice."
After a pause, Zhang Yi asked almost eagerly: "Brother, Baiyue was really defeated by the Southern Xinjiang Army?" Her fists were clenched tightly in her sleeves, and her body was as stiff as ice.
The man chuckled and said loudly: "Little lady, don't worry. Now that the Southern Barbarians are under the control of our Southern Xinjiang Army, it is the safest place for us Southern Xinjiang people to do business in the Southern Barbarians! Those Southern Barbarians have long been captured. It can be treated submissively and docilely!"
Behind the white gauze of the curtain hat, the pretty face of the clothes was pale, and her cherry lips trembled slightly. She calmed down and asked with almost all her strength: "Brother, do you know when Baiyue was captured by the Southern Xinjiang Army?"
"I heard it's been more than a year. I wonder what jade jewelry you like, little lady? Is it a jade pendant, a hairpin, or earrings..."
More than a year? ! Shiyi felt a roaring in his ears, and could no longer hear anything else the guy said.
It has been more than a year!
Xiao Yi actually managed to hide this matter completely. In this way, both the false king Nuhar and the sixth prince Carrero may have been poisoned by Xiao Yi... Wait a minute!
Pei Yi suddenly thought of something, that is to say, the military report that was suddenly sent to the royal capital from southern Xinjiang was Xiao Yi's bait to lure His Highness Kuilang to come to southern Xinjiang!
It turns out that the person who killed His Highness Kuilang was not Nuhar, but Xiao Yi!
They all fell into the trap!
The more Zhang Yi thinks about it, the more terrifying she feels, and she actually threw herself into a trap and came to southern Xinjiang. No, she must leave as soon as possible...
Zhui Yi, who was confused in his thoughts, suddenly came back to his senses and wanted to ask Lorna to leave, but found that the atmosphere around him had changed at some point.
Obviously when she came in just now, there were several customers in the shop, but at this moment, all the other customers had disappeared, leaving only the shopkeeper and four waiters behind the counter, and their eyes were all on her. , including the guy with the moustache, whose eyes no longer had the smile, only coldness.
Something's wrong!
Zhangyi's pupils shrank sharply, and Lorna exclaimed: "Your Highness the Saint..."
Following the direction pointed by Lorna, Shiyi turned around and saw a group of guards wearing blue robes had surrounded the shop, one person every three steps. At the same time, many people nearby also gathered around curiously and pointed in this direction.
Haiyi has been to Bixiaotang, so he naturally remembers the dress of these guards. They are the guards of Bixiaotang, and they are Xiao Yi's people!
Oops! His whereabouts were exposed!
No, it should be said that I fell into their trap!
The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper and waiters in the shop again, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom, as if she was in ice water. There was despair in her heart, and the boundless darkness almost swallowed her up...
