Chapter 526: Old 9 wants to kill two birds with one stone
Danger and murderous intent were emanating from the cold and fierce eyes. It was a murderous intent that emanated from the depths of the soul, without any hint of falsehood.
Fu Qingrong felt the suffocating feeling sweeping over her like a tide, almost drowning her.
She stared wide-eyed at the face twisted with anger, and fear couldn't help but rise in her heart. The sharp pain in her throat tore at her pain nerves, making her subconsciously reach out to grab his hand.
"Let go, let me go..."
The hoarse voice was almost squeezed out from between the fingers, floating, fragile, and almost inaudible.
Just when she felt that she was about to sink completely into the darkness, suddenly, a stream of fresh air poured into her nasal cavity again like a tide, and an intense stinging pain shot up from the depths of her throat. Although it was painful, it brought with it the hope of rebirth.
She was pushed to the ground and coughed violently.
Looking at her with her gold, silver and jade hairpins askew and her clothes disheveled, Baili Moyin felt disgust and disdain in his eyes.
"Fu Qingrong, remember, your Fu family will always be just an appendage of the monarch!"
"If it's not the Fu family, there will be another family!"
Fu Qingrong looked at the coldness and indifference on his face, and the hope she had for him in her heart almost turned into ice and shattered quietly.
"I can forgive your foolishness and disrespect this time; but Fu Qingrong, if you do it again, you will either die or go insane!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Whether it was for revenge or for something else, he went straight to Yafeng Garden in the backyard.
Not long after, the sound of stringed instruments was heard from behind.
Cui Lian quickly helped Fu Qingrong up, not daring to say a word.
With her support, Fu Qingrong lowered her head slightly. The sound of small discussions in her ears made her face even hotter.
"princess……"
Cui Lian's word "Princess" made her wake up instantly.
Yes, she is the princess, the person with the highest status under the prince of Jin Palace!
Why should she be afraid of other people's eyes?
Why should she accept the opinions of her servants?
She looked up, the panic and embarrassment in her eyes replaced by viciousness and violence, "Someone come!"
Pointing at the servants who had just been talking about her, she shouted to her personal guards, "Drag those servants who are disrespecting their superiors and talking about their masters away and beat them to death with sticks!"
The slaves who were whispering about this suddenly showed fear on their faces and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
They didn't expect that the Princess of Jin, who had always been gentle and virtuous, would suddenly become so cruel and heartless. No matter how they begged for mercy, the princess' face was determined, and she was determined to take their lives!
When the other servants saw this scene, they didn't dare to look up. Their bodies, which were originally standing straight, bent down in an instant, and they dared not look directly at the mistress of the palace.
And only at this moment did Fu Qingrong truly feel what respect and awe from the mistress was!
It turns out that being kind to others and being virtuous will never earn you respect from others. Only by becoming someone they fear can you make them fear and respect you from the bottom of their hearts!
She turned around and looked at the plaque of high-quality rosewood in Wenfeng Pavilion, with a kind of distortion and hatred sprouting in her eyes.
Tingxue Villa in Changlefang.
Shu Yuanqing's wound has been treated.
The golden fruit that Yi'er gave to Liu Kun was made into two kinds of decoctions by Shu He with auxiliary medicines. One is a decoction to repair Liu Kun's five internal organs and blood vessels, and the other is a decoction to enhance blood and internal strength.
After drinking the medicine, Shu Yuanqing's face became visibly rosy.
However, Shu He had a gloomy face, and he wished he could rush to Prince Jin's Mansion with a sword in hand and chop those damn Baili Moyin and Fu Qingrong to pieces!
"It's common knowledge that Left Prime Minister Fu Ying secretly trains assassins. After all, the court is complex and the tactics used are often brutal. It's only natural for these high-ranking officials to secretly train assassins to protect the safety of their palaces."
"Even the emperor knows about this."
"I just didn't expect that Fu Ying would actually dare to lend his assassins to Fu Qingrong to avenge her personal vendetta! This is a major taboo in the Heavenly Family!"
Nanqi felt that this matter was a little unbelievable, and also felt that Zuo Xiang was not the kind of person who could not make sense.
A carrier pigeon flew in from outside the yard, and Xizhu immediately walked out after seeing it.
When he came back, his face showed a serious expression, "Your Highness, the news from the Embroidered Uniform Pavilion said that the identities of those assassins have been found out."
Xiuyi Pavilion is the intelligence department managed by Xizhu. Almost all the intelligence, big and small, in Kyoto can be obtained by them. Especially in the past six months, their intelligence acquisition speed and authenticity have made a qualitative leap, and the error rate is basically one in ten thousand.
"It's not the Fu family, it's Prince Nanyu's people!"
Shu He's face showed surprise, "Baili Moyan?"
Xi Zhu nodded, "After the eldest son came out of Prince Jin's mansion, a servant came forward to invite him. That servant was also Prince Nanyu's man."
"It seems that my previous guess was correct." Baili Moqing said, "Old Four's personality is not the kind of person who would do such a stupid thing."
"I've suspected before that Fu Qingrong was the one who sent the assassin without the knowledge of Old Four. But from what I understand, Fu Qingrong isn't the type of person who would dare to do something behind Old Four's back."
"After all, the Fu family is in trouble right now. Whether Fu Minghe can save his life depends on whether the fourth brother will take action."
If Shu He was overwhelmed by anger and worry before, now her rationality has returned and her mind is clear.
With Baili Moqing's reminder, she naturally saw the twists and turns.
"Are you saying that Baili Moyan wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife? Or is he trying to frame someone?"
After hearing this, Xi Zhu interrupted, "There's something strange about the news from Xiuyi Pavilion. It says that among the bodies of those assassinated soldiers, one was from the Fu family."
After hearing this, Shu He became more certain of his guess.
"It seems like there are both!"
"He wants to use that assassin to pin the blame for Shu Yuanqing's death on Old Four, making us completely enemies with Old Four. Then, while we're fighting, he'll reap the benefits!"
After hearing this, Nanqi's face was filled with anger, "This Ninth Prince is really vicious!"
"Master, we can't let him go like this!"
Baili Moqing didn't say anything, but looked at Shu He. The coldness in her eyes told him that she and Lao Jiu had completely formed a grudge.
He glanced at Nanqi and Xizhu, and without saying a word, the two of them went down very tactfully.
Only Shu He and he were left in the study.
"You were the one who did what happened to Fu Minghe, right?"
