Xie Yunqing's hand was still firmly clasped to He Lianyue's neck, who stared at her feet indiscriminately, half-rolling his eyes.
Xie Yunqing looked at He Lianyue for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I thought the ten princesses were so iron-clad, I didn't expect to be so unintimidated."
He Lianyue was inexplicably relieved when she heard Xie Yunqing's words. Xie Yunqing is nothing more than to scare her, where she dare to be true.
Now I have the confidence, "If you really have that ability, just do it. This princess lends you ten courage, do you really dare to kill this princess?"
Xie Yunqing pulled out the dagger and raised He Lianyue's chin with the tip of the dagger.
"Do you really think I didn't dare? Don't forget, you are a post house alone, no one knows where you went. I killed you and processed your corpse. Who would suspect me? ? Even if I am at odds with you, the world cannot believe that a little girl like me can be able to kill someone. What's more, even if someone really suspects me, how many people dare to break into the ** government office and search ?"
"You have been able to dominate for so many years. The fundamental reason is that you are the favorite daughter of Emperor Yu. But don’t forget the ten princesses. Emperor Yu has more than 20 daughters. Without you, there will be others. The princess pleases him. You are dead, and he will be sad for a few days at most, and he will immediately leave you behind. Do you think your father will send troops to fight Da Zhou for you?"
Xie Yunqing said with coaxing.
She whispered, her voice was low and soft, hearing it in Helianyue's ears, it was like a feather blowing across her heart.
Although he didn't want to admit it, He Lianyue knew in her heart that she had countless brothers and sisters, all of whom could compete for favor. This time back to Dayu, the emperor father had already had other filial and gracious children before, and the emperor might no longer remember what she looked like.
She is dead, and the father will be sad for a while, but the father will never attack Zhou for her, at most he will just use an excuse to get benefits from Zhou.
Xie Yunqing released the hand clasped He Lianyue, sat back on the embroidered stool, took out the handkerchief and wiped the dagger.
The blade of that dagger is thin and sharp. The handle is carved with delicate curly grass patterns, and it is also inlaid with a huge round pearl.
Xie Yunqing didn't look at He Lianyue's expression, and said to herself: "Ten princesses should go back as soon as possible. Don't wait to go back to Yu Kingdom. Your father can't call your name."
She really has no interest in bullying little girls, especially such a no-brainer.
Xie Yunqing did not return the dagger to He Lianyue, but stuffed it into his sleeve, and went back to the house.
He Lianyue's face turned pale and red. After standing for a while, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and left.
After He Lianyue left, Moyan and Suwen, who had been sitting on the roof, just jumped down gently.
There was still a piece of green grass in her mouth. She touched her chin, bumped her elbow and asked, "You said this ten princess, how come to our girl all day long? Could it be that we see our girls are pretty and look at us? The girl, right?"
Su Wen looked at the silent words with a puzzled face, "Are you crazy?" He turned around and walked away.
Moyan made a grimace at Su Wen's back, and then felt that his actions were a bit naive, so he backed his hands and walked away with his head held high.
But when He Lianyue came out of the Xie Mansion, she remembered.
His horse is still in the Xie’s stable and has not been brought out yet.
She sneaked out without telling everyone this time, and only rode a maroon mare.
** The government is still a few blocks away from the post house, and she can't go back. He Lianyue didn't remember the way of Xie's family much, so she pointed to one of Xie's servants, "Go to the stable and lead this princess's horse." He Lianyue said proudly, holding her chin.
However, the servant didn't move at all, holding the broom in his hand, sweeping the road with his head buried.
He Lianyue pinched her waist and said, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear this princess speaking?"
The little servant raised his head, "Princess Jinzhiyuye, the horse you are riding must be a peerless horse. You are a little stupid. I am afraid that it will disturb your mount. The princess should go and lead the horse herself."
His attitude seemed very humble, but for this arrogant ten princess, Xiao Si was not shy at all.
Even a servant dare to look down upon himself!
He Lianyue was so angry that he wanted to take out a dagger and stab him a few times. After touching her waist, he remembered that the dagger had been taken away by Xie Yunqing. Only then did He Lianyue calm down. In any case, this was the Xie family's territory, and she would not be profitable if she continued to stay. The sturdy guards in front of her were all staring at her, her every move was restricted.
He Lianyue felt more upset in her heart, and just wanted to leave quickly.
Angrily pointed to a guard, "You lead this princess and lead this princess to lead the horse."
He Lianyue rode her bay red horse on the street, her mouth squashed, but her mind was chaotic.
She could still feel the throbbing pain in her neck, and the temperature in Xie Yunqing's palm was still on her skin.
I really don't know where she got so much strength, He Lianyue was really worried that Xie Yunqing would break her neck just now.
Thinking of Xie Yunqing breaking her fingers, pinching her neck, threatening her with a dagger, he seemed to be indifferent at all times, as if nothing could move her, He Lianyue couldn't help reaching out and touching her. Neck.
Her neck must be so swollen that it cannot be seen.
He Lianyue held the horse rein in one hand, and covered her neck with the other hand, riding the horse slowly in the street.
She didn't care about the current situation, and didn't know that the disaster had just occurred in Jiaodong County of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now it is the time for people to panic in Beijing. The streets are full of people, and even more people are gathering in crowds to make trouble.
He Lianyue was full of thoughts, riding a horse, but didn't care about the road ahead.
Seven or eight people were fighting in front of them, all of them holding machetes in their hands and gambling with each other.
The blood was dripping on the ground, and the metal was clanging, the courageous people only dared to watch from a distance, and did not dare to approach.
The group of people was fighting in the middle of the street, and the red horse was walking forward. As soon as it got closer, one of them waved a long knife in his hand. The long knife swayed in front of the red horse. Although it did not hit the horse, it still did. Let the bay red horse be frightened.
Seeing it raised its front hooves and hissed in the sky, it shook off its hooves and ran forward.
He Lianyue was also frightened by the movement, her face instantly paled, her hand was tightly holding the horse's rein, and her body was so rigid that she couldn't move.
The horse ran Helianyue all the way, knocking down countless people along the way.
He Lianyue's heartbeat was like a drum, and she wanted to scream, but her voice was pinched by her throat.
Place.
The shops on both sides of the road are like glimpses of light. It is obviously hot and dry, but Helianyue is trembling by the wind.
After He Lianyue left, Xie Yunqing went to find Xie Yong.
Now that the disaster in Jiaodong County is serious, Xie Yong will not ignore it.
She went to find Xie Yong just to inquire about the disaster situation of the Jiaodong Bureau.
The current situation of Jiaodong County is not optimistic.
The people are displaced and the food is soaked. What can the people do to fill their stomachs? There are also many snakes and insects in summer, they are outside the house, and they are everywhere in danger.
Not to mention that there are corpses everywhere, the corpses are soaking in the water, what should be done in case of disease.
Xie Yong's hand was clenched into a fist, with blue veins bulging on the back of his hand.
It's hateful, knowing that the people are living in dire straits, he can't go to relief, can only stay in the mansion and can't do anything. He lives in such a comfortable life, but when he thinks of the people in Jiaodong County who are still suffering, Xie Yong feels sleepless at night and can't eat.
Xie Yunqing naturally understood Xie Yong's mood.
She whispered: "Daddy, you can't leave the capital. This is the order of the emperor, and it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself."
However, Xie Yunqing's comfort made Xie Yong's heart more uncomfortable.
From the pillar of the country to the idle minister who has nothing to do all day long, although he does not show his face, there is still a big gap in his heart.
He used to fight in order to defend his family and the country. Even if he is idle at home, he always pretends to be Zhou's people in his heart. However, in this situation, Xie Yong wondered whether he was worthy of his pledge of loyalty and patriotism.
Xie Yunqing stroked Xie Yong's frowning brows, really trying to smooth his father's brows.
"Daddy, you should be aware of the cruel heart of our monarch. He blocked the city gates and did not allow anyone to enter or leave. He was afraid that the corpse plague in Jiaodong County would spread to the capital. Your majesty is ruthless, and you are not the first day you saw it. ."
"When Prince Yu died for the country, His Majesty immediately took over the military power from Prince Yu. In the Langzhou drought, corrupt officials greeted the relief money set aside by the court. Your Majesty knew, how did you deal with it? Because the corrupt officials are. The cousin of Concubine Gao's clan, your majesty turned a blind eye to this, and as a result, more than 60,000 people died in Langzhou that year."
Xie Yunqing said in a deep voice: "Our monarch is such a hard-hearted, selfish and ruthless person. Do you still have any hope for him?"
Xie Yong opened his mouth, trying to interrupt Xie Yunqing sharply, but he couldn't say a word.
Because he also clearly realized in his heart that the emperor was cold and cruel, and he was really not a wise monarch.
But what can he do
He has been taught since he was a child to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. No matter how poor the emperor is, he will ultimately be his emperor and the object of his allegiance.
Seeing the struggle on Xie Yong's face, Xie Yunqing knew in his heart that it would not be a matter of overnight if he wanted his father to give up on the emperor.
During his father's life, he had only one idea to serve the court. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he is also his father's monarch.
Is such a monarch really worthy of his father's service
Xie Yunqing knew that he couldn't push too much, he could only do things slowly.
"Daddy, the disaster in Jiaodong County must not be delayed. The daughter is stupid and inexperienced. But like my father, I am worried about the people of Jiaodong County, so I came to discuss with my father how to help the people of Jiaodong County."
