"Miss, what are you going to do next? Just wait for death like this?"
The second lady will definitely put all the responsibility on the young lady when she goes to the Ruan family this time. I am afraid that the head of the Ruan family will secretly trip up the young lady. They have to make preparations early.
"You don't have to worry about what the second lady will do next. Here is a three hundred thousand taels of silver note. In a few days, the shops under the name of the Ruan family will be sold in large quantities. Then you can buy as much as you can. "
"Sell a shop? How is it possible?" Tang Er was completely stunned. The Ruan family is the No. 1 family in Kyoto, and every shop is making a steady profit. How could they suddenly sell it
The smile on the corner of Lou Qingwu's mouth deepened, "Tang Er, nothing is impossible in this world. Even if the Ruan family is the first family, it is impossible to suddenly take out one hundred thousand taels of gold. He wants to If you want to get the cash and avoid the possible crime of deceiving the emperor, you must sell the shop." At this time, she only needs to buy. To bring down a family, the first thing to do is not to suppress it, but to shake its foundation fundamentally. If the foundation is gone, no matter how strong it is, it will only be at the end of its strength.
I believe that in less than a year, as long as she takes this step, she will make Ruan Zhen, and even the entire Ruan family, regret every step of the way. When the title of the first family of the Ruan family changed hands, she wanted to see what kind of expression Ruan Zhen would have. How would her good father treat this good aunt whom he tried so hard to marry and even forced his own mother to death!
Seeing what she wanted to see, Lou Qingwu told Tang Er to take her back, but she had just sneaked back to her Yifeng Pavilion, but news came from the palace that the Empress called Lou Qingwu into the palace.
When the phoenix decree came, Lou Lianxin fainted again.
After all, every time before, Feng Zhi came to invite her to enter the palace, but since last night, I am afraid that the empress will never look at her again, so why doesn't she hate, why doesn't she resent
It was no surprise that Lou Qingwu got the imperial decree. What happened last night, the queen didn't keep her at that time. One reason was that the timing was wrong; the other reason was that the queen hadn't calmed down at all. When she regained her senses, she would naturally summon her to reward her. After all, she helped her indirectly last night. For Lou Qingwu, it was a good thing, but not a good one.
It was purely unexpected that she helped the queen. Before entering the palace last night, she hadn't thought about which faction of concubines stood in the palace, or that she would be hostile to any faction in advance.
But now that it's over, she'll just rearrange her plans.
Lou Qingwu entered the palace, but when she arrived at Kunning Palace, she accidentally saw Xia Hourui. She shirked the queen's praise because she knew a little about the art of distorting yellow, so she helped her just at that time. Otherwise, with the queen's mind, once Knowing that she is very powerful, I am afraid it will not be good for her. The queen didn't have much doubt about her words, and felt that she was more and more satisfied. It's a pity that the eldest lady of the Lou family doesn't have a good reputation, and she was also asked to inquire about it, and she also knew what happened back then, which added to her dislike for Lou Lianxin. Although she has a bad reputation, she can be a concubine It's not impossible, after thinking it over clearly, the queen intentionally or unintentionally gave Lou Qingwu and Xia Hourui time to be alone, and asked Xia Hourui to send Lou Qingwu back in person.
Lou Qingwu didn't refuse. She didn't think Xia Hourui's appearance here was an accident. I'm afraid he had something to tell her.
Sure enough, outside the palace gate, Xia Hourui asked the first sentence of the day: "I heard they said that you met an assassin when you returned home yesterday?"
"Yes, thanks to the night king's rescue, they are just a few little thieves."
"Is there any injury?" Xia Hourui's eyes were very deep, and he looked at her so intently that Lou Qingwu couldn't tell whether he really cared about her or had other thoughts.
After last night's heart-wrenching powder and witchcraft incident, the queen couldn't detect it, but she didn't believe that Xia Hourui would still think that she was just a simple daughter. Or, he had noticed it from the very beginning, but he just avoided talking about it, and was testing her depth. I am afraid that if the witchcraft incident hadn't happened, he would not have let down his vigilance towards her.
Thinking about it this way, the witchcraft incident might be a good thing. Since it was decided to destroy all of Xia Houqing's chances, then if he couldn't become emperor, another person had to be in that position.
So, should she choose Xia Hourui
Before yesterday, maybe she would have hesitated, but since she was already on the same front, according to the situation last night, even if she was not on the side of the second prince, other people might think that she was on this side. That being the case, it doesn't matter who you choose, so...
A strange light flashed in his eyes, Lou Qingwu took a deep look at Xia Hourui, shook his head, "Thank you, Second Prince, for your concern, it's fine."
Obviously she was just looking at her like this, but for some reason, Xia Hourui felt numbness on her back, inexplicably creepy, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake, the whole person felt extremely weird, he silently looked at her a few more times, not Confirmed: "Are you really okay?"
"Naturally." Lou Qingwu glanced at him, "Or, the second prince wants me to get hurt?"
Xia Hourui was silent, and began to agree with the seventh brother's words. This woman's words... can choke people to death.
Lou Qingwu didn't notice Xia Hourui's strangeness. From the very beginning, her eyes fell on a man who had just got off the sedan chair behind Xia Hourui. Xia Hourui was taken aback for a moment, then walked over, and smiled before saying anything, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of the eyes, and the whole gray eyes gave off a very cold taste. Lou Qingwu frowned, squinted at Mu Yunqing approaching, and saw him standing in front of them, Xia Hourui also noticed his existence at this time, after a few words, Mu Yunqing bid farewell and entered the palace.
It's just that when he passed Lou Qingwu's side, the very inconspicuous string of rosary beads he was wearing on his wrist scattered and fell to the ground. The beads scattered and rolled to the ground.
Mu Yunqing seemed to be stunned. For a moment, Lou Qingwu saw his figure as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body felt numb. What is even more surprising is that all the imperial guards who were on duty outside the Suzaku Gate that day saw the Dali Temple Shaoqing, who had always been smiling at everyone, seemed to be in a state of confusion. with scattered beads.
One rolled to Lou Qingwu's feet, she bent down and picked it up. The beads are sandalwood-colored, some years old, very old, and some of the color has fallen off. She rubbed her fingertips, and felt that there seemed to be words on them. She raised her hand, holding the rosary with her cold fingertips and shaking it in the sun. , saw an unclear word "Sheng" on it, but before she could see it clearly, she felt that her eyes darkened, and Mu Yunqing's tall figure completely covered the light in front of her.
