Tibetan beads

Chapter 269
"Xue Ru is dead."

When the news came, Xu Yin was stunned for a while.

Yan Ling showed a mocking smile, and said to her, "It is said that the injury is too serious to bear the punishment. Now I can be sure that Dali Siqing is a member of King Duan."

Xu Yin gave a soft "hmm".

Yan Ling noticed that her expression was wrong: "What's wrong with you?"

Even if Xue Ru's death isn't something to be happy about, there's no need to be so sad, right?
Xu Yin shook his head.She was not sad for Xue Ru's death, but for her father, sister and herself in her previous life.In the end, none of them knew who the enemy was. She, who had passed Xue Ru in the palace, could never have guessed that that figure from behind was the cause of the Xu family's tragedy.

"My father was almost killed by her," she said. "It's not worth it to think about it."

Yan Ling felt relieved, and comforted softly: "She has already suffered retribution, and it will be Prince Duan's turn next."

Xu Yin let out a breath and regained his composure.

That's right, Xue Ru is just a pawn, the real culprit is Duan Wang, she is still far away from revenge!
Yan Ling reminded her: "Prince Duan probably already knows about your existence."

Xu Yin didn't care: "Since I made a move, I didn't want to stay out of it. Even if King Duan wants to take revenge, he has to come out first."

That's true.It's already reached this point, are you still afraid of tearing your face in the open?

Yan Ling continued: "With Dali Temple Minister as a hindrance, it may not be easy to press Duan Wang to death at once. However, His Majesty has already become suspicious. Even if Duan Wang is not dead, he will also peel off his skin."

Xu Yin nodded.In the previous life, King Duan usurped the throne a few years later, he won over a group of officials and Yu Chong, and took advantage of the emperor's illness to suddenly stage a coup, and only then did he succeed in ascension to the throne.

Although the current King Duan already has a lot of power under his hands, but the most critical military power has been disturbed by them, it is not easy to achieve things like in the previous life.

But she still wanted to give it a try, if she could cut the weeds and root them out, she would avoid trouble later on.

"The reason why Dali Temple Minister stood by King Duan should be because of Zhang Huaide." Xu Yin said, "Your Majesty has become more and more addicted to drinking and sex in recent years, and his health is getting worse. Zhang Huaide, a close servant, knows it well and is anxious to find a new master for himself. gone."

The emperor suffered a lot when he escaped from the chaos in the green forest in his early years, and he lived a life of indulgence these years, his foundation is already broken.It's just that he's not old yet, and he looks fine on the surface, but how can he hide this from the close servant?

If something happened to the emperor, the crown prince came to power, and the new emperor had his own confidants, Zhang Huaide, the old man, would have to stand aside. It would be good to be able to guard the imperial mausoleum safely.

Yan Ling could hear what she meant: "You mean, let's take the bottom line and kill Zhang Huaide? I'm afraid it won't be easy. He acts cautiously and is in the harem. I don't have any manpower."

Xu Yin said: "I have a clue, but I'm still looking for a key person. If I can find him, I can try it."

……

Princess Changning didn't sleep well all night, there was a dragon boat race for a while, and arrows were fired for a while, but the assassins turned into her father and brother, which directly woke her up.

The nightmare made her exhausted, and her whole body was listless.

For some reason, when her father was assassinated in the dream, Xu Yin's muddy skirt flashed before her eyes, as if she saw her usual bow and arrow.

Princess Changning pressed her forehead, feeling that she was really terrified.

On the way back to the palace yesterday, she asked the prince: "Brother Huang, is this true? Uncle Huang wants to usurp the throne?"

The crown prince was dejected, and said: "I don't know. The emperor said before that I'm always so unbelievable. Maybe after he leaves, some wolf will want to take my position..."

Princess Changning was stunned for a while, before she said: "But Uncle Huang was very kind to us before."

Speaking of this, the prince smiled sarcastically: "Chang Ning, Concubine De treated us very well in the past."

At this point, the prince is more sober than her.He is the crown prince, Concubine Shu and Concubine De both have princes, no matter how well they pretend on the surface, he can still feel that kind of hostility.

"You don't have to think too much." He comforted his sister, "Father has already ordered them to investigate, and we will know soon whether it is true. If it is true, don't be sad, we were born in the royal family, these things It's inevitable. Look at the second and third brothers, aren't they all estranged from us now?"

After Concubine Shu was abolished, the third prince seldom appeared in front of people, and even when he went to school, he remained silent.The second prince is better, but he can't play with them anymore.

Princess Changning nodded heavily: "I see."

Jin Shu came in and saw Princess Changning lying on the table looking weak, hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Don't be sick?"

Princess Changning let her touch her forehead, and said, "It's all right, I just didn't sleep well."

"Why didn't you sleep well? Did you get scared yesterday? I said that you should drink a bowl of shock tea last night. Light ink! Go to the tea room and tell me to make a bowl of shock tea for the princess."

Dan Mo hurried in, heard what she had to say, and called the little maid again, and a group of people surrounded Princess Changning to greet her.

"What are you doing here?" A voice came from the door, but it was the foster aunt who came.

She swept across the crowd majestically, and scolded: "When you encounter something, you panic, what does it look like? The princess is not in a good spirit, and you still quarrel with her, go do your own business, let the princess rest well."

The maids immediately fell silent and dispersed.

Princess Changning heaved a sigh of relief, and it was rare for her to have a slight liking for her aunt.

Everyone was gone, and the nurturing aunt softly comforted: "Princess, are you scared? Why don't you go to school today, and the slaves will ask for leave. You can take a rest for a day, okay?"

The nurturing aunt who always urged her to go to school took the initiative to ask for leave. Princess Changning was pleasantly surprised: "Is this okay? Will the Tai Tuo be angry?"

The nurturing aunt smiled and said: "There is a reason for the incident, how can the Taifu be angry? If something happens, the servant will make amends for you."

Princess Changning was very happy: "Okay! Then I will take a day off. By the way, I will tell the Lord Yongjia when I am on leave."

"Okay, I will listen to the princess." The nurturing aunt paused, and seemed to mention it unintentionally, "The princess and the county monarch are so kind, they are inseparable wherever they go."

"Yes!" Princess Changning said as a matter of course, "We can talk about it!"

The nurturing aunt smiled and nodded, and continued: "I heard that the county lord had a conflict with Miss Yu yesterday, so I went back to the temple to rest alone. The princess went to find her later, is there any serious problem?"

"It's okay, she just went to take a nap, she's fine."

"She was still asleep when the princess went? Didn't she leave?"

Princess Changning felt that this was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but glanced at her: "Naturally fell asleep, otherwise?"
