The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly put away the golden hairpin, stretched out her slender fingers to wipe away the tears from her eyes, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a handsome and solemn middle-aged man. This man was his father, Lord Pingyang, Situ Yu.

Situ Yu sighed softly, turned around and left quickly, and then Lin Ruoxi also got up, and followed behind Situ Yu with lowered eyes.

When they arrived at Situ Yu's study, Lin Ruoxi saw that the three sons of Situ's family, Situ Han, Situ Zhan and Situ Bin, were punished to kneel on the ground. When they saw that Lin Ruoxi was also called into the study by Situ Yu, the three of them couldn't help being surprised looking at her.

After the door of the study was closed, Situ Yu took the lead in sitting on the big sandalwood chair carved with a mighty tiger, fixedly fixed his eyes on Lin Ruoxi with a pair of leopard-like eyes and said, "Do you know why I called you here today? "

Lin Ruoxi pretended not to know: "Forgive my daughter for being stupid, for not being able to guess what father is thinking."

Situ Yu frowned: "I know you must be perfunctory, pretending not to know even though you know everything? Do you think I don't know what happened to you in the palace?"

Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes, still stubbornly said: "Ruoxi really doesn't know, father, why do you ask Ruoxi like this."

"Okay, since you don't say it, then I'll let these three little bastards do the talking."

As soon as Situ Yu finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi knew that Situ Yu might know about their plan. She glanced at Situ Han who was kneeling on the ground, Situ Zhan and Situ Bin, and finally turned her eyes to Situ Han.

Among these three brothers, although each of them is an outstanding man, both civil and military, wise and brilliant, there is one of them who is too simple and honest in front of his relatives, and it can be said that he has no heart in front of his relatives. Not hiding something, that is the second brother Situ Han who has a silly smile.

Both Situ Zhan and Situ Bin looked at Situ Han with a look of hatred, but Situ Han didn't notice the eyes of these people, but said firmly: "Father, the four of us, brother and sister, have indeed discussed how to deal with it. The arrogant Jade King just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect that Jade King would end up like this. Besides, didn't you tell me that as long as I told the truth, you would ignore this matter and forgive us? ?”

If you are busy stretching your body.Situ Yu gave him a cold look: "It is said that soldiers never tire of deceit, Han'er, you are in Pingyang Hou Mansion, you can be deceived by me and tell everything, but if you don't think carefully in front of outsiders, you will definitely cause trouble." Some right and wrong come."

Situ Han lowered his head, regretting why he didn't pay attention. He didn't expect that what he said to his father before, and what his father promised him, were all to test him and trick him?He was really ashamed that he believed his father so easily, and told the truth about their plan, and also confessed the three brothers and sisters.

Situ Zhan turned his eyes and asked: "Father, we have done everything now, and it is useless for you to punish us like this."

Situ Bin's beautiful eyes rolled around, but he didn't make a sound, because he knew that his father was in a state of anger now, and no matter what he said, he would not calm down the anger in his heart.

However, Situ Han still had the courage to go straight and said: "Father, instead of you punishing us four brothers and sisters here, why not think of ways to deal with the Wu family members!"

Situ Yu's expression darkened, he picked up the book on the table, and threw it at Situ Han's handsome face, which shocked Situ Han so much that he didn't dare to move his eyeballs, and stared at Situ Yu with wide open eyes.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. Are you trying to put the entire Situ family in danger and push the Situ family to a dead end?" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Lin Ruoxi, then said coldly: "I killed the Situ family three days ago. It's like I was talking to you, but I didn't expect it to be too late. Let Empress Wu recruit you into the palace. Fortunately, your aunt, Concubine Situ Hui, went in time. Do you know that if you are a step late, this Empress Wu will never allow you? The person who killed her children is living well under her nose, and will definitely find all reasons to execute you."

It was only then that Lin Ruoxi realized that Situ Yu was already angry, because what they had done had touched the safety of the entire Situ family. Everyone knew that the faction of the Wu family was very powerful, and now they killed his son. It is equivalent to touching her majesty and hurting her beloved son's eager heart, so she will never forgive Situ's family for what they have done. Presumably Empress Wu will take action soon and attack the Situ family.

She knelt down slowly, lowered her eyes, and said sincerely: "Father, I have done everything now, and please calm down. You should think about how to deal with the Wu family."

Situ Yu sighed: The Pingyang Hou Mansion once had a reputation in the entire Southern Border Kingdom for a hundred years, and it was also one of the four major families. In the Southern Border Kingdom, it was everyone who stepped on the foot and made the entire Southern Border Kingdom tremble. This The reason why everyone has been standing in the southern border country and has a profound reputation is because the old Pingyang Marquises all adopted a neutral attitude. They did not fight for too much fame, but they did not give up some easy-to-get meritorious service Opportunity, this makes those big families think that the Situ family has not violated their interests, and other families will become more and more conflicted and fight each other. However, the Situ family's forbearing and neutral attitude makes the Situ family reap the benefits of fishing. In front of the southern border country and even the emperor, they have a good reputation and gradually expand the power of the family.

Situ Yu himself is not a person who likes forbearance, but in order to consider the reputation of the entire Situ family, he has to endure it all the time, adopting the neutral attitude of the Pingyang Hous before, and managing the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion. It is also not easy.

But now... When Situ Yu thought of the dangerous situation of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, he couldn't explain it: "There were wolves attacking before, and tigers and leopards coveting later. What do you want to do with the entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion? What about the reputation of the Situ family? Look... this Pingyang Hou Mansion will be destroyed by your hands sooner or later."

Lin Ruoxi didn't raise her eyes to see Situ Yu's angry expression. Firstly, it was because of her revenge. If it wasn't for the deep hatred between her and Empress Wu, she wouldn't use Situ's family to fight against the Wu family; Actually, she is also sorry for the Situ family. The Situ family has been neutral and tolerant for more than a hundred years in the southern border country, but now because she has become in dire straits, she is really ashamed.

The three sons of the Situ family also understood why their father, Situ Yu, was so angry, and Situ Yu sighed heavily, and then slowed down his tone: "You all get up, even if you don't provoke this incident, the Wu family will Sooner or later, they will not understand the power of the Situ family in the southern border country, and try to suppress our Situ family."

Lin Ruoxi, Situ Zhan and the other four slowly stood up from the ground. Lin Ruoxi suggested: "Father, our Situ family has been living and existing in silence for a hundred years. But the current situation has changed. It is Empress Wu who controls the entire Wu family behind her back. Empress Wu has a calm and gentle face, but a vicious heart in her heart. Anyone who offends her will not end well. Like This kind of vicious woman controls the Wu family. They must also hate the centuries-old reputation of our Pingyang Hou Mansion, and they are also afraid that our Situ family's limelight will overshadow their Wu family's limelight, so it may not be a good idea to sit and wait for death. Take the initiative to attack At the same time not forgetting to defend, this is a good way to have the best of both worlds and make the Situ family's reputation stand firm in the Southern Border Kingdom."

Although Lin Ruoxi is a woman, everyone knows that she has insights that even men may not be able to imagine, and she is very reasonable. Situ Yu and even the three sons of Situ's family can't help but look at Lin Ruoxi in surprise.

Lin Ruoxi continued: "Father, what we have to do now is, when the Wu family is thinking about how to deal with our Situ family, we must find enough evidence that the Wu family is unfavorable, and hold these handles in our hands. As the best weapon for dealing with Empress Wu and attacking the Wu family."

Situ Zhan couldn't help admiring: "It's better to strike first, the little girl really has a unique way."

Situ Yu, Marquis of Pingyang nodded: "That's right, the Situ family has too much patience, so sticking to the rules will not be effective when facing a person like Empress Wu. Let's do it according to Ruoxi's method. Do you three have any other suggestions?"

The three brothers Situ Han, Situ Zhan and Situ Bin had no objection to Lin Ruoxi's suggestion.

Situ Yu, Marquis of Pingyang, continued: "Since there are no other proposals, I will assign tasks to each of you. All four of you come here, and I will assign these tasks to you in detail."

Lin Ruoxi and other four people approached Pingyang Hou Situ Yu, and Situ Yu searched for information that was not good for the Wu family in their respective areas of communication based on their respective identities. Lin Ruoxi was a woman, and women generally stayed at home. , but if there are some young people and the palace's banquet, she will also participate, so she can find the daughters of the Wu family in the banquet, and use them to formulate words. This is also a good way.

After Situ Yu gave them all the tasks to do, Lin Ruoxi and the other four left the study. The three Situ Zhan brothers wanted to ask whether the plan entrusted to them by the Marquis of Pingyang was beneficial or not. Lin Ruoxi just Laughing but not answering, in fact Situ Yu's method is considered a good strategy, and she has nothing to add now.

Back in the boudoir, Mo Xueyuan took a step forward and asked: "Master, is it true that Lord Hou already knew that the Jade King was murdered and it was your idea that he wanted to punish you?" 13acv.

Lin Ruoxi smiled and shook her head: "He knew, but he didn't mean to punish me."

"Master, I think Empress Wu will definitely attack you soon."

"I'm not afraid of what she will do to me, but I'm afraid that it will hurt the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion."

Mo Xueyuan didn't ask any more questions, but she could tell from Lin Ruoxi's mouth that the master really regarded herself as Miss Situ now. If so, how could she make full use of the Situ family to avenge her? ?

Lin Ruoxi felt tired, and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed. At this moment, the wooden window shook slightly, and Mo Xueyuan saw a man in white clothes who was as handsome as a fairy. Yuan just wanted to wake Lin Ruoxi up, but Lin Jingxuan stretched out her slender fingers and placed them on her thin peach petal-like lips, signaling Mo Xueyuan not to wake up Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Jingxuan came to Lin Ruoxi's side, stretched out his big hand to hold Lin Ruoxi's hand gently, and put her hand on Bai Xi's handsome face, he bent his lips and whispered softly like a dream: "Fourth sister, You have encountered such a big trouble, why didn't you tell Jing Xuan? Could it be that you want to leave Jing Xuan and take risks alone? Jing Xuan doesn't want you to do this, Jing Xuan is afraid that he will be alone, so don't take such risks in the future OK?"

Mo Xueyuan hurriedly turned around and exited the room. She was another infatuated man. Mo Xueyuan only hoped that her master would have a happy life as soon as possible and not have too much hatred, but her master could be so relieved and able to Will you make up your mind to give up hatred?

In the Star Spirit Palace, a woman gently dragged half of her face with a hand as slender as jade, and was lying half sideways on the beauty couch.

Her eyes are lightly closed, her curled eyelashes are as charming as a butterfly waving its wings, her small face is very delicate, her nose is very narrow, her lips are naturally red like cherries, and she is already beautiful and charming without rouge. She is dressed in a white gauze dress, which further complements her graceful figure, like a fairy, who is unearthly.

"Lingyun, I know you must be very sad." On a carved red jade chair beside the beauty's couch, was sitting a handsome man, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was a handsome man with a myriad of graceful gestures.

The woman in the white gauze skirt on the beauty's couch slowly opened her eyes. In her pair of black eyes like a deep pool, a few drops of tears rolled down from Bai Xi's delicate face like a broken bead curtain.

"Lingyun has had a good relationship with the second brother since childhood. I didn't expect that the second brother would be framed by a villain and die so miserably. But why didn't the queen mother let the prince brother tell Lingyun about this?" Lingyun The princess was obviously emotional, she hurriedly sat on the beauty couch, her bright black eyes seemed much darker.

His Royal Highness Li Yuan smiled sadly: "The queen mother only has the future imperial power and throne in her heart, and she will never take the death of the second brother to heart."

Princess Lingyun clenched her fists tightly, but those fists were as hard as stone in the wide white gauze cuffs.

She bit her lips and smiled: "The queen mother doesn't love the second brother, so she can treat him so ruthlessly, but I can't do it, I must avenge the second brother."

His Royal Highness Li Yuan nodded, his amber eyes were like sunlight: "Lingyun, remember, you must not act rashly before the time comes, lest one move will kill her, and it will have the effect of scaring the snake. .”

Princess Lingyun looked indifferent, but the more calm and indifferent she was, the more venomous her thoughts were crawling in her heart like a million poisonous scorpions.

"Brother Prince, don't worry. I'm not in a hurry to settle this debt with her. What I want is to torture her slowly so that she can live in pain."

His Royal Highness Li Yuan saw Princess Lingyun, and suddenly had a feeling of deja vu. Lingyun's temperament is really like the Queen Mother, it really looks scary!

When Lin Ruoxi woke up, it was already past the time for breakfast. When she opened her eyes, an elegant and gentle face was reflected in front of her. She was slightly surprised at first, and then smiled and said: "Mother, why don't you Came here early in the morning?"

Mrs. Situ stretched out her slender hand, touched Lin Ruoxi's forehead, and smiled softly: "Last night, my mother had a nightmare all night, so I was worried about you when I woke up in the morning, so I ran to you to see how you were. Thinking of you sleeping so soundly, you didn't even notice that I came by your side."

"Yeah, maybe I'm too tired, that's why I slept so soundly. I didn't even notice that you came to my place, mother."

Mrs. Situ looked at her daughter tenderly: "You, you are always careful and thoughtful, so don't worry about things in Pingyang Hou's mansion in the future. Here is your father, and your brothers are thinking about and supporting the whole family." , you don’t need to worry about this, you should think about which lover you want to marry in the future.”

Lin Ruoxi blushed, and said coquettishly, "Mother, I see you are saying this again."

Mrs. Situ pulled Lin Ruoxi up from the bed, and urged: "Get up quickly, I have already prepared breakfast, you hurry up to wash up and eat some breakfast, mother is leaving the Marquis' mansion today, so I can't take care of you ,You have to take care of yourself."

Lin Ruoxi put on a coat and insisted on sending Mrs. Situ out of the house. Mrs. Situ couldn't resist her temper, so she left in a hurry. Seeing Mrs. Situ leaving, Lin Ruoxi, accompanied by Mo Xueyuan, washed and dressed, and put on the coat. Wearing a pink willow skirt, she sat down at the table and had breakfast.

Mo Xueyuan stood beside Lin Ruoxi, serving her dishes. Lin Ruoxi simply ate some food, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked softly, "Has King Mao ever left the Pingyang Hou Mansion?"

Mo Xueyuan shook her head and said, "Originally King Mao planned to leave, but before he left, he received an invitation letter from Prince Mao's mansion, so he didn't plan to leave right now."

Lin Ruoxi couldn't help asking curiously: "What kind of invitation letter will prevent King Mao from leaving, Xue Yuan, do you know?"

Mo Xueyuan said: "It's an invitation letter from Princess Lingyun of the Southern Border Kingdom in the afternoon, saying that she will buy a mansion outside her palace, hold a big banquet, and invite him to come over, and you also have such an invitation letter, master. So King Mao decided not to leave, and wants to go to the mansion that Princess Lingyun bought outside the palace to have a banquet with you in the afternoon."

Princess Rhyme?

Lin Ruoxi's mind was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly remembered the identity of Princess Lingyun in the family map of the entire Southern Border Kingdom given to her by Lin Jingxuan.

This Princess Lingyun is actually the youngest daughter of Empress Wu. She is both talented and beautiful, and she is a strange woman with a deep family background. Her behavior and style are exactly the same as her mother's empress.

Mo Xueyuan asked worriedly: "Master, I'm afraid this banquet is a Hongmen banquet, right? They must have plotted against you and have murderous intentions. According to Xueyuan, it's better not to go."

However, Lin Ruoxi showed a mysterious and cold smile and said: "No! This time we are going, but we will go in a grand way, so give her some color!~"
