Things seem to have changed beyond recognition overnight, and the originally envisaged spring breeze was infinitely glorious, but it turned into countless troubles in a moment.
Wang Bi and Shen Dongling never thought that Huangfu Hao would be killed by the crown prince. The two of them didn't know what was going on, although the prince's guards kept trying their best to emphasize that the prince didn't do anything to Huangfu Hao, and when the prince arrived at Yifeng Pavilion, Huangfu Hao was already dead. But Huangfu Hao's guards seemed to be convinced.
The misunderstanding has already been created, not to mention the bloody misunderstanding, so what follows is a shocking crime.
Shen Dongling still tried her best to remain calm, while comforting Wang Bi: "There must be some misunderstanding in this, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved." But his heart fell into the abyss.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Bi found a good incense and gave it to the prince. The prince invited Huangfu Hao to come and taste the incense by offering flowers to Buddha. In this bloody case, Wang Bi was the source of the disaster. Even if this matter has nothing to do with Wang Bi at all, but the anger of the royal family's thunder has implicated everyone, and it is impossible for Wang Bi to leave safe and sound.
Furthermore, even if the prince was lucky to finally prove his innocence, the matter of incense was Wang Bi's suggestion. Because of Wang Bi's strategy, if Huangfu Hao died, the Qin state would definitely not give up, and the prince's allies would be the same. After his death, how could the crown prince not take out his anger at Wang Bi
So look left and right, Wang Bi, the scapegoat, can't escape.
Wang Bi obviously also thought of this, and his face was extremely ugly. In the end, he was more calm than Shen Dongling, and only said: "Go back to the mansion first, go to the Prince's mansion, and ask what happened."
How could Huangfu Hao die so well? who killed it? Why did Huangfu Hao call the prince's name again? This is intricate and puzzling. In any case, we must first understand what is going on before we can find a solution.
The coachman turned his horse's head and ran towards the city, but Shen Dongling seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Why haven't you seen Fifth Younger Sister?"
Wang Bi was stunned.
One must know that the reason why this plan was used by the Crown Prince was because of Shen Miao. Because Shen Dongling was calculating the time and arrived at Yifeng Pavilion at about the same time as Shen Miao, it was only in this way that she could chat and show her "sisterly affection". They stopped here for a while, and it stands to reason that Shen Miao and the others should have come here too. But on the outskirts of the mountain road, you can see the front clearly at a glance, and there are no other carriages before and after.
Why did Shen Miao not come
Wang Bi only knew that Shen Miao was the cousin of Shen Dongling's third room, because Shen Xin held a lot of power and was popular, but in private he didn't know anything about Shen Miao's temperament. However, Shen Dongling had seen Shen Miao's methods to deal with the second room and the third room, and her heart sank straight down.
If Shen Miao did not come, why was it so coincidental, could it be that Shen Miao knew early on that something would happen today? No one in the world has the ability to predict the future, could it be... this matter has something to do with Shen Miao
No matter how powerful she is, how could she easily kill the Prince of Qin!
Wang Bi heard Shen Dongling's words, but misunderstood what Shen Dongling meant, he said, "Yes, if Fifth Young Miss Shen was also here, things would probably go smoother!"
Wang Bi thought that one more person would be able to share more of the guilt, if Shen Miao was there, for Shen Xin's sake, Emperor Wen Hui would not be too embarrassed with him, but if he punished him alone, he would be punished again. Appears to be biased. In order to show justice, Shen Miao's presence would save Wang Bi a lot of things.
He said: "Let's go back to the mansion first, maybe the fifth Miss Shen has already gone back. Let's look at the crown prince first."
Shen Dongling nodded, but there was a wry smile in her heart, she did not know why, she always felt that Shen Miao would never "have gone back", only that Shen Miao did not plan to come to Yi Feng Pavilion from the beginning.
Shen Miao... This opponent was even more terrifying than she thought.
…
On the other side, on the street, Luo Tan sat in the carriage, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "What can I do? If it's delayed, it's been delayed for so long, and now I'm rushing to Yifeng Pavilion, I'm afraid it's too late. ."
Just now, when their Shen family's carriage was traveling in a lively place in the market, it accidentally hit an old woman. The old woman immediately fell unconscious. The Shen family was not a small family in the Ding capital, and Shen Xin was a great hero respected by everyone. Naturally, he had to cherish his feathers. Shen Miao and Luo Tan definitely did not leave the old lady behind and leave alone. He asked the guards to take the old woman to the nearest medical clinic. She had been watching the doctor take the old woman's pulse and said it was all right. The old woman woke up and left.
Their move naturally won the approval of many people. They only felt that the girl from the general's house was not arrogant, but was considerate to the people, which was a rare character.
The praise was well earned, but the time was also delayed a lot. Now I have to rush to Yifeng Pavilion, and when it arrives, I am afraid it will be noon.
Shen Miao thought for a while and then said, "I will not go."
“Huh?” Luo Tan was still thinking about how to solve this problem, when she heard Shen Miao said that, she couldn’t help but be surprised, “Why don’t you go? Isn’t little cousin the most disgusting person who can’t keep his word?”
Shen Miao said with a smile, “You should pay attention to the time and place when tasting incense, the best time in Yifeng Pavilion is in the morning when the air is the freshest, then the incense is naturally refreshing, and in the afternoon or afternoon, the world is chaotic and it is not easy to produce incense. We can't make people wait for us. It's not beautiful." She reached out to greet Mo Qing, and asked Mo Qing Feige to pass the book to Yi Feng Pavilion, but she and Luo Tan didn't go because of a delay.
Although Luo Tan had some regrets, she had no interest in that Lao Shizi Pinxiang. It was rare to come out to let the wind out, and immediately drag Shen Miao to go shopping.
Shen Miao saw that it was still early and there were guards like Azhi and the others, so there was no harm in walking around, so she agreed.
Who knew that Luo Tan was in high spirits. After this trip, it was almost evening when he returned to the Shen residence.
Their carriage had just arrived at the gate of the mansion, and the servant in front of the gate smiled and said, "It's good that the girl is back, and the lady and the master have just returned."
“Just in time for dinner!” Luo Tan smiled and took Shen Miao’s hand and stepped into the door.
Who knew that when they entered the main hall, Luo Xueyan was talking to Shen Xin, and when she saw Shen Miao and Luo Tan coming back, she was stunned for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Jiaojiao, Tan'er, where have you been?"
"Today, Mrs. Wang from Yuanwai Lang's Mansion invited us to taste incense at Yifeng Pavilion. On the road, a carriage ran into an old lady. My cousin and I were busy taking care of the lady. We wereted time, so we simply pleaded guilty and didn't go. My cousin and I wandered around at will, father, mother, but what happened?"
Shen Miao referred to Shen Dongling as "Mrs. Wang's wife of the clerk's mansion", which was obviously a deliberate attempt to clear up the relationship, because she did not want to be close to Shen Dongling at all.
Luo Xueyan didn't notice this, she just took a deep breath and said, "But it scared me to death, Prince Qin was assassinated in Yifeng Pavilion today, and all the people involved were arrested and interrogated in the prison. Then Wang Bi said that you were also present, But no one saw it. Your father and I came back in a hurry, and seeing you were not there, we thought something was wrong."
Luo Tan was taken aback: "Assassinated to death?" She said, "Who would have the courage to assassinate the Prince of Qin in broad daylight? Is the Prince of Qin's bodyguards poor in martial arts? How could he even protect his own master's life? live?"
Unlike Luo Tan’s face full of surprise, Shen Miao was very calm, she said, “Don’t worry, cousin and I did not go to Yifeng Pavilion. When we ran into the old lady in the daytime, many people on the street We saw it all, and it was too much trouble, and we even reported our names. Those people can testify for us. We were too busy to take care of the old woman at the time, so where would we have time to go to Yifeng Pavilion?"
In the public eye, there would be no fake, Shen Miao did not know how to clone, how could she appear in Yi Feng Pavilion again in the market.
Shen Xin snorted coldly, his expression a bit angry: "Wang Bi is so bold, how dare he throw dirty water on my Shen family!"
"It seems that the Wang family is trying to drag us into the water." Luo Xueyan also understood, and said bitterly, "Shen Dongling is still relative to us, I never thought that she would have such vicious thoughts, how could there be any reason for calculating her own family!"
Shen Miao sneered, "In the second and third rooms of the Shen family, how could anyone ever treat us with sincerity."
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin fell silent.
Luo Tan felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so she interrupted with a smile, "Hey, it's good luck with my little cousin today, if I hadn't bumped into the old lady in the middle, I'm afraid I'd really go to Yifeng Pavilion to taste the incense. Yes. Since Huangfu Hao was assassinated, even his bodyguards were not rescued. The assassin must be very skilled in martial arts. My little cousin and I went there, and we might also be implicated. Speaking of which, we should also thank the old woman. ."
Shen Miao laughed and was about to say something, but she heard Luo Tan muttering, "But in the post for us before, it was not mentioned that the Prince of Qin would also go to taste the incense, what would the Prince of Qin go to taste incense? Are there any other people there? If so, are there casualties?"
Before anyone could answer Luo Tan's questions one after another, they saw two people walking in, it was Shen Qiu and Luo Ling. Luo Tan turned around and happened to see it, and she couldn't help but exclaimed "Aah", "Cousin Qiu, Brother Ling, what's the matter with you?"
Shen Qiu and Luo Ling's clothes were a little messy. Not only that, but there were some blood stains on their faces, and they looked extremely embarrassed.
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were also startled, Luo Xueyan hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly looked at the two of them: "What happened?"
Shen Qiu quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's not my blood, it's someone else's."
Luo Xueyan finally felt relieved, but before she felt relieved for a moment, she heard Luo Tan ask, "Cousin Qiu, are you and Brother Ling going to catch the assassins who assassinated the Prince of Qin today? Are those assassins very powerful? It's hard to deal with, it's not easy to see how you look."
Shen Xin frowned and asked, "Shen Qiu, is that so?"
Shen Qiu and Luo Ling looked at each other, their eyes were a little strange. After a while, Shen Qiu asked all the servants in the main hall to go down, and then looked at Luo Tan and Shen Miao with some thought, Shen Miao smiled and said, "Cousin Tan and I will not say anything, eldest brother can speak directly if there is anything. ."
Luo Tan hurriedly raised her hand and said that she would never reveal half of it.
Seeing how serious Shen Qiu was, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were also a little suspicious. Luo Ling nodded to Shen Qiu, Shen Qiu sighed, and then said: "Today, the troops guarding the military city have gone to stop people, but it is not the assassin who killed Huangfu Hao, but the bodyguard of Huangfu Hao."
"Guards?" Luo Xueyan frowned, "Could it be that they want Ming Qi to tell the story, and it's already too much trouble?" Luo Xueyan didn't like the people of the Qin country, and I don't know if it was because the Qin country itself was founded in the shortest time in the Three Kingdoms and has no history. From the royal family to the common people, everyone is arrogant. Even though Qin's national strength is slightly better than Ming Qi's now, the arrogance he often shows in front of Ming Qi is really annoying.
"Not really." Shen Qiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Huangfu Hao's bodyguard said that the one who assassinated Huangfu Hao was the Crown Prince, and now they are going to the East Palace to kill the Crown Prince to avenge Huangfu Hao."
"Prince killed Huangfu Hao?" Shen Xin suddenly stood up: "Impossible!"
Not to mention whether the emaciated body of the Crown Prince can be achieved, how could Ming Qi make such a self-destructive scheme when he was trying to win over Qin to deal with Great Liang. Killing Huangfu Hao would only provoke Qin's fury. Not to mention the collapse of the alliance, he would also add another enemy to himself. Undoubtedly, it is worse, the prince is not a fool, why would he do such a thankless thing
"I also thought it was impossible." Shen Qiu was a little confused: "But those guards all said that they heard Huangfu Hao shouting the name of the crown prince on the mountain, saying that the prince was the murderer. Since they were Huangfu Hao's bodyguards, they did not frame others. The reason for letting go of the real murderer."
Luo Xueyan asked, "Aren't Huangfu Hao's bodyguards with Huangfu Hao? Why do you say you heard it?"
"This is where the doubt lies." Luo Ling said, "According to what Huangfu Hao's bodyguard said, what made the prince invite Huangfu Hao to taste the incense today was also a post from the prince to Huangfu Hao. Huangfu Hao's bodyguard recalled that the prince was in The post said that there was something important to discuss with Huangfu Hao, and that Huangfu Hao's guards should be left on the mountainside and Huangfu Hao would go alone. However, the prince said that he did not mention this in the post he wrote to Huangfu Hao, and the official was ordered to search for it. The prince's post, but that post has already been thrown somewhere by Huangfu Hao. Now that there is no proof, both sides insist on their own words, and they are very anxious. "
Luo Tan murmured, "The prince asked Huangfu Hao to taste the incense, but why didn't Madam Wang's post to me and my little cousin mentioned the two of them?"
Everyone in the room was startled.
They all only paid attention to this bad debt between the Crown Prince and Huangfu Hao, but Shen Miao was ignored. Luo Tan mentioned it like this at this moment, but he remembered, yes, why did the Crown Prince and Huangfu Hao Pingxiang bring Shen Miao and Luo Tan with them. Luo Tan did not say anything, it had nothing to do with the people in the Ding capital, but Shen Miao was different, Shen Miao was Shen Xin's daughter.
When Shen Dongling posted the post, it was impossible not to know that the Crown Prince and Huangfu Hao were also coming, but why did not mention it to Shen Miao. Is it forgotten, or deliberately not mentioned. If it was intentional, why was it intentional, what was planned
The crowd broke out in a cold sweat.
Luo Xueyan said, "No, you have to ask Shen Dongling for clarity."
"Mother," Shen Qiu stopped her, "Shen Dongling and Wang Bi are already in prison, so you can't rush to see people at this time, otherwise it would be bad if you think they have something to do with her."
The two princes went to taste incense together. One died and the other became the murderer for no reason. When Emperor Wen Hui found out, he was so angry that he almost fell over. On the one hand, to temporarily quell the anger of the Qin people, he always had to arrest a few people to show them that Ming Qi was "doing things impartially." On the other hand, Emperor Wenhui was full of anger and had nowhere to turn his anger. from the originator. The wrath of the Son of Heaven never explained the reason. Wang Bi was mercilessly shattered while sitting on the beautiful dream of spring breeze. Not only that, but whether or not he can save his life this time is also unreasonable.
The expressions of everyone were different, only Shen Miao remained calm as always, she listened to these things as if they had nothing to do with herself, of course it did. "It's none of our business, just wait and see what's going on outside," she said.
Shen Qiu noticed Shen Miao's expression and asked, "Sister, why are you not surprised that Huangfu Hao was assassinated, and that it was the Crown Prince who killed Huangfu Hao?"
Shen Miao smiled slightly, "What's so surprising about this. Since, as those people said, the Crown Prince wanted to 'discuss with Huangfu Hao on a separate matter', during the negotiation process, no unity was reached or there was any fierce disagreement. It is very possible for the prince to kill someone on impulse. It's not like Ming Qi didn't have such a case before, so why make a fuss."
Shen Qiu was speechless, what Shen Miao said, the people in this room seemed to be unable to hold their breath. What Shen Miao said was true, but what kind of disagreement could be so fierce that one could kill people, not to mention that the other party was the noble prince of a country. Even if Emperor Wen Hui was irritated and lost his mind, he might not kill him so neatly.
Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan both frowned, Shen Miao didn't have to think so much, but they were officials in the court, and every small act in the court might have implications for their future lives. What's more, this time Huangfu Hao died in Ming Qi, and the person who was charged with the crime was the Prince of Ming Qi. I think those guards have already sent people back to spread the word. After the Emperor Qin found out, a pair of sons and daughters were both folded in Ming Qi. Who should bear the wrath of this thunder
It would be very difficult for Ming Qi and the Qin alliance to recover from the dead. At this time, what will be done by Great Liang is unknown.
This night, because of this sudden rise, even the atmosphere of the Shen residence fell into a gloomy atmosphere. But it's not because of sympathy for Huangfu Hao or the crown prince, but because of worrying about possible future variables.
When Xie Jing Xing came to look for Shen Miao, Shen Miao was standing in front of the window in a daze.
Huangfu Hao died just like that. In her previous life, Huangfu Hao and Princess Ming An almost became a nightmare that she couldn't get rid of when she went to Qin as a hostage for five years. Princess Ming An is arrogant and domineering, but Huangfu Hao likes to attract everyone to torture him. He is the crown prince of the Qin state. Once Huangfu Hao tortures someone, everyone else will follow suit. Actually speaking, Shen Miao, Huangfu Hao, and Princess Ming An did not have any grudges, but even with such malicious insults, resentment finally accumulated.
Different from the others, Shen Miao never thought of letting Huangfu Hao and Princess Ming An pay for their lives because they were not the ones who harmed the Shen family the most in the past life. At most, these people have been in trouble for some time in her life.
If it wasn't for them calculating on their own in this life, Shen Miao probably would not care about these two.
Now that the people had left, Shen Miao became somewhat at a loss.
The path he has been following since his rebirth was revenge, protecting the Shen family from repeating the mistakes of the previous life. But if the Fu family were in the world for a day, they would never let the Shen family go. Her enemy was very powerful from the beginning and it was not enough to be desperate and Shen Miao sometimes doubted whether she could reach the end.
The figure swept down from the tree waved his hand in front of Shen Miao, Shen Miao came back to her senses, and what caught her eye was Xie Jing Xing’s playful smile, he said, “You think I am so ecstatic?”
Shen Miao was about to close the window with a slap, Xie Jing Xing caught it quickly, jumped into the room, pressed Shen Miao’s shoulder with one hand, forcefully did not let her move, and closed the window with the other, “Be careful of being cold and stupid. already."
Congyang, who was standing in the corner of the wall, was freezing outside: "..."
Shen Miao pulled Xie Jing Xing's hand away, sat down at the table in the room, and asked, "How is the handling?"
“No problem.” Xie Jing Xing sat down and motioned Shen Miao to pour him tea.
Shen Miao held her breath and poured tea for him, pushed the teacup over reluctantly and asked, "Are you sure that the Qin people will not find out?"
“I can’t find it.” Xie Jing Xing smiled, “Not everyone is as smart as you and me.”
Complimenting others, complimenting others, and incidentally not forgetting to compliment herself, Shen Miao rolled her eyes. Looking at the young man in purple who was drinking tea slowly, he felt a little turbulent in his heart.
What happened today was planned by her and Xie Jing Xing. Xie Jing Xing's subordinates had many capable people, some were exquisite in disguise, some were excellent in imitating people's voice and ventriloquism, and some could even write exactly the same at a glance. Between Huangfu Hao and Fu Xiuyan, they just changed the post to Huangfu Hao, and even the time was changed. Let Huangfu Hao and Fu Xiuyan go up the mountain one after the other, after going up the mountain, Xie Jing Xing's people will easily become the "Prince", and the "guard" who keeps his head down beside the Prince will speak in the Prince's tone.
Although Huangfu Hao and the Crown Prince are considered familiar, they are not at the point of digging their hearts out, let alone sticking together since childhood. Then came a series of misunderstandings.
This move, in the eyes of outsiders, the prince killed Huangfu Hao, no matter what the reason, no matter what misunderstanding, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Qin State will not give up, let alone forming an alliance, I am afraid that it will become enmity with Ming Qi. Not to mention that the alliance was broken, Emperor Wenhui sacrificed others, including the crown prince, in order to appease the anger of the Qin Emperor.
“Why are you sure that the emperor will sacrifice the crown prince?” Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, “That is his own son.”
Shen Miao smiled slightly, "Do you remember my second uncle?"
"Remember."
"Back then, Shen Yuan was also his own son. When Shen Yuan's accident happened, he was busy trying to distance himself from his relationship. The emperor is also an ordinary person, and the royal family's affection is even weaker. For the sake of 'the world's righteousness', what is the meaning of 'righteousness destroying relatives'. Relationship? Even if he knew that the Crown Prince was wronged, the Emperor would only swallow the bitter fruit." Shen Miao said mockingly, but there was a faint suffocating aura from the corner of her eyes.
Xie Jing Xing stared at her thoughtfully.
Shen Miao would always have a deep hatred towards the Fu family, even if she tried her best to hide it, there would always be moments when she couldn't hide it. These moments were captured by Xie Jing Xing, he was suspicious, but he would not ask questions. He joked: "You seem to know the royal family very well, as if you have experienced it yourself."
Shen Miao lowered her eyes, didn't she experience it personally
After marrying Fu Xiu Yi, Fu Xiu Yi took the heir, but he fought to the death of a group of brothers. The nine princes were dead and crippled. Unwarranted charges were removed.
It is the nature of the Fu family not to leave trouble.
Even between Fu Xiu Yi and Emperor Wen Hui, isn't it intriguing? Emperor Wen Hui was wary of his son usurping the throne, and Fu Xiu Yi was looking forward to his father's early death. There are also Concubine Xu Xian, Concubine Dong Shu, the Empress... In the deep palace, whoever talks about family affection is a fool!
It's a pity that she didn't understand in her previous life, she always thought that people would always have hearts. But he forgot that if Fu Xiu Yi could attack his brother's father, he could naturally attack his own son!
When Shen Miao was in the deep palace, the love and hatred of those young girls had been tempered to the end and almost disappeared. The remaining feelings for Fu Xiu Yi were all based on him being the father of Wan Yu and Fu Ming. Shen Miao thought that no father would not love his children.
However, in the end, Fu Xiu Yi gave his daughter to the Xiongnu, and forced his son to a dead end!
This debt, she will definitely get it back in person!
Seeing that the expression in Shen Miao's eyes changed, but there was a hint of pain in her eyes, Xie Jing Xing frowned, not knowing where it touched Shen Miao's sadness. He hesitated for a moment, slowed down his voice, and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will solve it for you."
Shen Miao raised her eyes to look at him, "It seems that you can do what you said." But she was like a mirror in her heart, Xie Jing Xing could indeed do it. Kill two princes, he said kill and kill. The Crown Prince and Emperor Wenhui knew they were being plotted, but they didn't even have a chance to refute them. Only Xie Jing Xing could use such a helpless means of choking people. He is brave and powerful, but he is so cunning that people can't grasp the handle, as if there is nothing in the world that he can't do.
It would be great if she met him in the previous life, such a thought suddenly appeared in Shen Miao’s heart.
But she just said: "If you were asked to change the face of the country, would you be able to do it?"
The purple-robed youth with a jasper teacup in his hand heard the words, but he smirked. Although his eyes were sharp as knives, his tone was slightly mocking.
"It's all about the imperial power. If you want, it's yours."
