Fate and time are the most ruthless embarrassing knives. When the three sisters were not married, even if there was jealousy between the youngest daughters, they would not be so troubled. She and Hua Yiliu, who were supposed to be sisters who helped each other, turned out to be embarrassing people who had feelings for each other.
Hua Xiwan squinted her eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage, when suddenly the carriage stopped, she frowned, this is the outskirts of the city, why did the guards of the palace stop the carriage for no reason
The head guard who escorted Hua Xiwan out looked at the elderly couple lying in the middle of the official road with a vigilant look on his face. After waving his hand to let his guards guard the carriage, he looked at the surrounding environment. There were lush vegetation on both sides of the official road. Hidden inside, it is extremely difficult to find.
"Go and have a look." Let a guard who usually does things safely step forward, and the head of the guard's hand has already been placed on the handle of the knife.
The "old couple" who were lying on the ground saw that the people in the palace were not planning, and suddenly stabbed the guards who were walking towards them. Who would have guessed that this guard was already prepared, and a hidden arrow flew out and killed one of them on the spot. .
"Array!" The captain of the guard heard the rustling in the surrounding vegetation, and felt bad. When the shield soldiers stepped forward, he saw more than a dozen arrow feathers flying towards this side, and he turned his head to look at the motionless The carriage, turned around and jumped onto the carriage's hull, and firmly guarded the door of the carriage, preventing anyone from approaching the carriage door.
"Leader, this shows that the guards of the palace are too brave, our offensive will not work against them!"
"With fire attack, I don't believe in such a big battle. Princess Xian and a female class will not panic. As long as she is in a mess, it's useless for the guards of the Xian Palace to be powerful."
The carriage that the princess rides is made of fine iron and steel as the top. Ordinary arrows can't penetrate the carriage at all. Late.
Just when the guards of the palace thought that the gangsters would retreat if they couldn't attack for a long time, who would have guessed that a few people would fly out of the grass again. Wrong, is this oil? !
"Everyone be careful, these people want to set fire!"
The expressions of Bai Xia and Hongying who came out with Hua Xiwan changed slightly. At this time, Bai Xia noticed that a guard of the palace was fighting and retreating, getting closer and closer to the carriage door, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he kicked the guard away without hesitation. A fire breaker.
The head of the guard standing on the carriage changed slightly, and before he could move, the guard had his throat cut with a knife by Bai Xia, and the head guard was unable to say a word with his neat movements.
"Be careful, if you're not a confidant, you can't let them get close to the princess." Bai Xia glanced at the captain of the guard, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the dagger, and returned to his original position.
My obedient mother, what kind of maids are the princesses keeping by their side, this method and temperament are too hot. Although the chief guard's face was calm, his heart was really smack.
Suddenly he heard the sound of the carriage door being opened behind him, and looked back quickly, only to see a foot wearing a pearl embroidered shoe sticking out, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Princess, please..."
"The assassins want to use the fire attack to force me out, so how can I disobey them?" Hua Xiwan grabbed the hair-breaking sword in her hand, jumped out of the carriage neatly, and said, "The bodyguard with oil on his body. Take off your robe quickly, don't fight recklessly in case of fire, it's better to avoid it."
The guards present immediately blushed. They were all rough people. It was too embarrassing to take off their robes in front of the delicate princess and maid.
"The situation is urgent, the enemy is now, you don't need to pay attention to customary etiquette," Hua Xiwan pulled out her sword, threw the scabbard aside, and sneered. There are many rumors about her in the capital, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Unfortunately, these people are the only ones. I don't know that she has learned the swordsmanship passed down by the Lu family in her grandfather's family over the years. Although she is not invincible in the world, it is still enough for the enemy to defend against the enemy.
"Princess." Bai Xia and Hongying retreated to Hua Xiwan's side, Bai Xia said with a cold face, "These people are obviously premeditated. I suspect that Miss Tang has something to do with this."
Hua Xiwan sighed and glanced at the guards around her. This was the guard she brought to her side this morning. Each of them was carefully selected to prevent such a thing from happening.
Now that the various forces in the capital are fighting for the throne, there are already dark tides, how could she go out unprepared, let alone meet Hua Yiliu, who had a quarrel with her, even when she returned to her mother's house, she would bring full guards.
Now these people who were hiding in the dark finally couldn't help but take action. She remembered the words "Be careful on the road" that Hua Yiliu said when she left the Taoist temple, and the face that couldn't see the expression clearly, and sighed.
No one would have thought that Princess Xian, who was rumored to be so charming and charming, actually used a sword. When the first assassin fell under Princess Xian's sword, it was not only an accident for the assassin, but even the palace guards were extremely surprised.
Judging from the surprised expressions of the assassins, these people did not know that Hua Xiwan could use a sword. If Hua Yiliu really hated her, why didn't she tell the people behind the scenes about Hua Xiwan's martial arts skills
Hua Xiwan seemed to have thought of something, sighed, looked back at the direction of the Taoist Temple, and then clenched the sword in her hand: "Since they dare to come, they will naturally have to go back and forth."
In the Taoist temple, Hua Yiliu sat in the shade, looked at the sunlight outside the window, helped the fine hair on the side of the temple, and then said to the maid behind him, "What time is it?"
The maid looked at her worriedly and whispered, "It's almost noon."
"She must have returned to the palace," Hua Yiliu got up, walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, carefully painted herself with makeup, painted a gorgeous peach blossom on her forehead, looked carefully, turned her head and asked. Maid, "Does it look good?"
The maid nodded dazedly.
Hua Yiliu smiled wryly, stuck a golden butterfly in her hair, looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I have never let myself be the master in my life, so I finally made up my mind to do one thing, but everyone thought I was It was wrong. In the end, even I felt guilty. In the past, I thought I was more virtuous and gentler than my third sister. She was spoiled by her uncle's family since she was a child, and she was inferior to me in everything except her face. I know, she is much stronger than me, women are not good at embroidery, but gentle and lovely are winners, she is stronger than me in her xinxing."
When she was sent to the Taoist Temple, she really wanted Hua Xiwan to die immediately, but when someone came to her and needed to work with her to calculate Hua Xiwan, she found that she didn't really want Hua Xiwan to die.
She can do what she wants but can't do, she can get what she doesn't even dare to think about, she can live a happy life that she doesn't even dare to dream of in her life, she is jealous of Hua Xiwan, so jealous , but she could never forget how moved she was when she heard that Hua Xiwan was blocked outside the gate of her husband's house for her.
Although she resented in all kinds of ways, she could not forget the warmth when Hua Xiwan helped her, so at the last critical moment, she lied to those people, only saying that Hua Xiwan was spoiled by her family in the mansion. , not much special.
She can't be completely bad, but she is narrow-minded. Her life, from birth, may have been a joke.
"Squeak."
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the dazzling sunlight squeezed into the room. Hua Yiliu couldn't help squinting his eyes to see who was standing outside the door.
The person came with a white face and a jade crown, a purple brocade robe, and a few mighty guards standing behind him. They were not angry but mighty. Who else was Yan Jinqiu
Hua Yiliu was stunned. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would still be able to see you."
Yan Jinqiu saw that Hua Yiliu was imitating Xiwan's makeup, stood at the door expressionlessly and did not go in, and raised his hand to the guard behind him.
The two guards walked silently into the house, each holding a tray in their hands, but the contents of the tray looked a little shocking.
Hua Yiliu looked at the two trays in front of her, one with poisonous wine and daggers, the other with three-foot white silk and poison pills, she looked up at Yan Jinqiu fearlessly: "A humble woman from the slave family, the dignified lord actually took this trip in person. This is really a big face for the slave family."
"You are Xiwan's clan elder sister, this king is willing to give you this honor," Yan Jinqiu put his hands behind his back expressionlessly, turned his head and didn't want to take another look at Hua Yiliu, "I originally looked at Xiwan's face I am willing to keep your life, but if you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, I can't keep you."
"Shouldn't think about it?!" Hua Yiliu smiled bitterly, "Are you doing this to show my good sister, or is it out of sincerity?"
Yan Jinqiu said lightly, "I don't need to tell you what I'm thinking."
"Today you want me to die, I admit it," Hua Yiliu picked up the bottle of poisonous wine in the tray, suddenly almond eyes widened, staring at Yan Jinqiu: "If you do something wrong to my sister in the future If something happens, you will be a beast from generation to generation, and you will not be able to die easily."
She doesn't believe in the sweet words of men, and she doesn't believe that the men of the royal family will have a sincere heart. If one day Yan Jinqiu really wins the treasure, can he still be single-minded
"Presumptuous!" Mu Tong didn't expect Hua Yiliu to curse the prince, and immediately scolded, "How can a woman like you say such a thing."
He really didn't understand the creature like a woman. It was obvious that Hua Yiliu was very jealous of the princess, but in his words before his death, he mostly defended the princess. Such thoughts are really unpredictable.
As the saying goes, a woman's heart has a needle in the bottom of the sea, and it seems to have some truth.
Hua Yiliu sneered, it seems that her so-called love for Yan Jinqiu was just deceived by his skin. She didn't even have the most basic understanding of this person, so how could she talk about love
It was only because of his fame that the girl's heart was attracted. Now that she saw the world clearly, she suddenly realized that she was superficial and vulgar, and it was no wonder that she had reached this stage.
She sneered, opened the lid of the wine bottle, raised her head to drink it, and before the bottle touched her lips, suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside.
"and many more!"
No one thought that Hua Xiwan would appear here, Yan Jinqiu showed a trace of annoyance on his face, and then reached out to support Hua Xiwan, who was panting slightly: "Why are you back?" He saw Hua Xiwan's hairpin ringing slightly Chaos, apparently in a hurry.
"I was attacked today, and the guards who killed halfway through the palace came to kill all the assassins. I'm sorry I returned to the palace in a panic. Your lord, you weren't in the palace, so I had to come to you," Hua Xiwan didn't seem to see A pair of beautiful-eyed slaves stared at Yan Jinqiu at the movement in the house, "I'm here to pick you up in person, can you go back with me?"
Yan Jinqiu smiled helplessly: "It's mine or not, then you can go back."
All the servants present looked at each other in dismay, seeing the two masters turn around and leave, they looked at Hua Yiliu in the house and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Mr. Mu, do you think this young lady should drink this wine?" A eunuch asked cautiously. Although this princess didn't say anything, he always felt that if she really let the women in the house drink it. With medicinal wine, they are only afraid that it will cause a major event.
"What kind of wine are you taking?" Mu Tong raised his eyebrows. "Let someone take good care of this young lady in her retreat. After all, she is also our princess's concubine." After saying this, he didn't look at the others. With a face, he walked away.
The princess walked this time in person. Although she didn't open her mouth to plead for Hua Yiliu on the bright side, she actually said everything that should be said. Since the prince didn't ask for the woman's life again, it means that her life can stay. .
It can be seen that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and even though the lord is calculating and cold-blooded, there is a nemesis like the princess.
When the other servants heard the words, they quickly took away the things they had just taken away, and quickly disappeared into the Taoist temple, as if they had never been here at all.
Hua Yiliu stood in the dead room, smiled wryly, and sat down on the chair in a daze.
"Miss!" The frightened maid rushed into the room, and only relieved when she saw that Hua Yiliu was all right, and immediately knelt down limply, "Fortunately the third miss is here, fortunately..."
She suddenly paused, the third lady came, didn't the third lady already know what the lady did? Thinking of this, she hurriedly looked at Hua Yiliu, but only saw Hua Yiliu's stunned cheeks.
Miss San... Did you not pursue it
Mu Tong and the others walked out of the Taoist temple and saw that the prince and the princess had already boarded the carriage, he walked to the head of the guard who escorted Hua Xiwan today, and asked in a low voice, "Listen to the leader of the guards who came to rescue today, when they arrived, the assassins All of them have been shot dead, what happened at that time?"
When the captain of the guard heard this, his rough face suddenly became colorful and very beautiful.
Mu Tong frowned suspiciously, what could have caused the captain of the guard who had followed the prince for many years to show such a strange expression, wouldn't it be hell
