Some of the officials kneeling below were already running away in a hurry. The eldest princess looked at their embarrassed appearance with a smile and sneered in her heart, "These people who keep saying they are for the people of Jiangshan Sheji, in the end, don't they also betray in order to save their lives? Such a thing
I won’t keep you as a human being.”
Even as she said this, the eldest princess already had a smile on her face and counted with a smile: "Three!"
There was chaos below, and there were constant screams.
"Two!" The eldest princess seemed to like watching this situation very much, with smiles in her eyes.
After a pause, he roared again: "One!"
But after the sound of "One!", there was no movement. The eldest princess frowned and said loudly: "Hurry up and cum for me!"
No one responded, and the men in black on the wall did not move at all. The eldest princess was startled when she saw the men in black holding bows and arrows all falling towards the back.
The secret guards and Liu Wen'an who were guarding under the Temple of Heaven took several steps towards the top of the Temple of Heaven.
The eldest princess's heart trembled, and the dagger in her hand moved closer to Xia Huanyu's neck, "You don't want Xia Huanyu's life?"
No one answered, and the eldest princess saw Liu Wen'an waving his hand, as if to let the secret guards rush forward. The eldest princess knew something was wrong, and turned Xia Huanyu's face in her arms, only to see that Xia Huanyu's face was pale.
, there was a bit of dark red on the lips, as if he had been poisoned.
The eldest princess quickly raised her hand and placed it on the tip of Xia Huanyu's nose. However, her complexion suddenly changed. She pushed the person in her arms toward the altar of heaven and shouted, "You've been tricked. Get out."
As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, several monks behind her threw a few black balls in front of them. There was only a "bang" sound, and the black balls exploded in front of them, and smoke filled the air for a moment.
, nothing can be seen.
Liu Wen'an suddenly shouted: "Don't let her run away."
The secret guard rushed up to the Temple of Heaven. The smoke gradually dissipated. Everyone raised their eyes to look at the Temple of Heaven, only to see the eldest princess still standing at the top, but her body was a little stiff. She was originally holding the cross on the fake
The dagger on Xia Huanyu's neck was placed in front of her in the blink of an eye.
No one knew what happened just now, but they could only see a man wearing black sacrificial robes standing next to her. His face was stern, and a long haircut almost crossed his entire face, making people lower their heads involuntarily.
"Come here, bring the eldest princess back to the Tai Chi Hall." Xia Huanyu's voice rang out from the Temple of Heaven, drowning out the noise below.
Liu Wen'an quickly stepped forward, grabbed the eldest princess's hand, ordered someone to tie her up, and walked to the Temple of Heaven.
Xia Huanyu turned his eyes and glanced at Concubine Shen Shu before saying calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. You should go back to the palace first."
Concubine Shen Shu nodded quietly and slowly descended from the Temple of Heaven.
Back in the Tai Chi Hall, the eldest princess had already knelt on the ground, completely losing her crazy look just now. Perhaps because of her shaved head, the eldest princess looked much thinner and older.
Xia Huanyu walked to the dragon chair and sat down, and said calmly: "Sister Huang, can you admit defeat?"
When the eldest princess heard this, she laughed again. She just smiled and shed tears: "Admit defeat?" The eldest princess raised her head and looked at Xia Huanyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and asked softly: "You
When was it discovered?”
Xia Huanyu glanced at the eldest princess indifferently, and gently touched the armrests of the chair with dragon heads carved on them. After a long while, he said calmly: "Concubine Shen Shu has always been my wife. She has been my wife since she was not on the throne."
Secret guard."
The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, with a bit of disbelief in her eyes, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
Her lips were a little pale, and the eldest princess said again: "But Concubine Shen Shu has Prince Qi? Concubines in the palace, no matter their origin or status, once they have a child, they will definitely plan for the child. Among Prince Qi's
I am poisoned, and only this princess has the antidote. How dare Concubine Shen Shu betray me? Aren't you afraid that King Qi will die suddenly?"
Xia Huanyu smiled, with a bit of disdain in his eyes: "Concubine Shen Shu is just my secret guard."
The eldest princess didn't understand why Xia Huanyu made a special trip to emphasize this. After thinking for a long time, she finally understood. There was even more disbelief in her eyes, "You mean, Prince Qi is not Concubine Shen Shu's son at all?"
Xia Huanyu said nothing.
The eldest princess has already somewhat understood, "Before, Concubine Shen Shu deliberately provoked a war through the Ya clan and was thrown into the cold palace. It must have been your plan to lure me into taking the bait. The King of Qi was demoted to Qizhou. You have no idea.
Then you knew that we would use King Qi as bait to threaten Concubine Shen Shu and make her side with us. Everything is just your plan."
"The story about the Ya clan is a lie. It just made me pay attention to Concubine Shu, thinking that Concubine Shu could be used. You also took advantage of the matter of Hanshisan and sent Concubine Shu into the cold palace. This made me think of a way to catch Concubine Shu."
You caught Concubine Shen Shu's weakness. You made me think that you had firmly grasped Concubine Shen Shu's weakness, and you also thought of a way to let King Qi win the favor with a war horse, take Concubine Shen Shu out of the cold palace, and regain her favor.
Your Majesty's favor. But I never thought that I would actually slip into the trap carefully designed by Your Majesty step by step."
Xia Huanyu still didn't speak.
The eldest princess had already burst into laughter, "Your Majesty has always been very petty, and now I am convinced that I lost. It's just a pity that once this matter came out, Your Majesty, Concubine Shen Shu, raised two children."
A chess piece that has been used for more than ten years is useless."
"I don't need to worry about it, Sister, just worry about your own situation." Xia Huanyu said calmly, "Someone, please take the eldest princess into a water prison."
A guard came in from outside and took the eldest princess down.
The palace became quiet for a while. Xia Huanyu waved his hand and the palace door was closed. Liu Wen'an poured a cup of tea for Xia Huanyu, took another cup, and poured the tea.
"Come out." Xia Huanyu said softly.
A person slowly walked out from the golden wall behind him. He was wearing a water-pink palace dress with a waist, but his abdomen was slightly bulging, and his appearance was stunning.
The woman quickly walked to the hall and knelt down.
Xia Huanyu raised his eyes and glanced at her, then said calmly: "Get up, you are pregnant. If anything happens, Prince Rui will definitely fight against me. This time, it's all thanks to you."
The woman in the palace smiled slightly, bent down slightly, and saluted: "Your Majesty has given me such a great reward, I am so ashamed of myself." After saying that, she stood up and raised her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu.
The woman in the palace was none other than Princess Rui Ning Yunshang, who was supposed to follow Luo Qingyan to Cangnan. (To be continued)
