The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 70 Framed
Zhao Shuang glanced at the rusty soldier plate, which only had a number "Fifteen" engraved on it.

"My lord, let me ask Chun Xin to serve you hot porridge and side dishes." Seeing Yang Xuan's heavy heart, she must have eaten nothing in the Red Leaf Restaurant just now.

He had eaten and slept on the road, and had just returned and had so many troubles, Zhao Shuang suddenly felt sympathetic to the regent.

The woman just got up and was pulled to sit down again.

"No hurry." Yang Xuan took her hand, with a sad expression, "Listen to my explanation. Hong Qiu said that the iron meteor is not hers, and Mingjing also went to check it. The iron meteor was only created this year. The new weapon, Hong Qiu has been away from Habayashi Wei for many years, so there should be no chance to touch this thing. The assassin...maybe someone else."

"Since the lord has already decided to release him, why bother to explain to me?" Zhao Shuang looked into his eyes and saw that he was ashamed, so he smiled lightly, "I was just guessing randomly. Since I guessed wrong, the lord let me go." People are."

"Princess..." The man in white was about to pull her into his arms, but found that she withdrew her hand.

"Chun Xin, Qiu Xin, go and warm up some porridge and serve some side dishes, the prince is hungry." Zhao Shuang walked to the door and gave orders, then took off her cloak and went to take a bath in the clean room.

Although Yang Xuan explained, after a few days, Hongqiu was still under house arrest in Hongye Pavilion.

It was about Zhao Shuang's safety, so he didn't dare to be careless, and ordered Ming Jing to investigate the origin of the iron meteor, and he would not let him go until he found out.

As a result, Ming Jing found out that in the Habayashi Guard, a soldier named Cao Huang suddenly appeared, saying that he was ordered by Xiang Xia, a maid next to the princess, to go to Mei Fang Yuan to pretend to be an assassin.

There was an uproar in Habayashi Weizhong.

When several sergeants who used to be acquainted with Hongqiu made a fuss, it became the princess's ulterior motives to frame the bodyguard who had been born and died for the prince.

Back then, in order to control Shangjing and the Great Zhou royal family, Yang Xuan replaced the Habayashi Guards with his own direct descendants. The army never respected the Great Zhou royal family, and there were endless voices supporting the regent's proclaiming emperor. In their eyes, the concubine naturally became the spy of the royal family of the Great Zhou who ambushed the prince, while Hongqiu became the bodyguard who loyally protected the lord but was framed.

Hanguang Pavilion.

Yang Xuan was not there, and Nanny Chang was reporting the news to Zhao Shuang with two young ladies in the palace.

"Princess, please don't be careless about this matter. Although the lord has not pursued it deeply now, the rumors and rumors are getting worse and worse. There is no guarantee that the lord will not be soft-hearted in the future..." Chang Momo hurried to Hanguang when she heard the news. Ge came to persuade, "According to this old slave, this matter...is a trap set by that Hongqiu, so we need to investigate it carefully."

"Mommy, look up that soldier named Cao Huang for me, and find out what his relationship is with Hongqiu." Zhao Shuang frowned and glanced out the window.

She has never been interested in military affairs, and she is not familiar with the generals in the army. The Habayashi Guards belong to the Imperial Army. She thought they were the loyal guards of the Great Zhou royal family, but she did not expect the wind in the army to turn so quickly.

"The old slave sent people to the Habayashi Guard to investigate, but now the army is full of iron barrels, which are airtight to protect us." Nanny Chang sighed in embarrassment, "I can't find anything at all."

Zhao Shuang looked at Xiang Xia again, and asked, "Xiang Xia, if the prince wants to arrest you for interrogation, are you afraid?"

Under pressure, Yang Xuan sent someone to arrest Xiang Xia, maybe it was just a matter of time.

"My servant is afraid," Xiang Xia gritted her teeth and knelt down on both knees, "but this servant is willing to testify for the princess! Even if she is punished, she will never tell a lie!"

"I'm burdening you with this matter, why don't you... go to the countryside to avoid it?" Zhao Shuang helped her up and persuaded, "If you are caught in the army, it's not as simple as asking a few questions, I'm afraid you will be tortured... ..."

Xiangxia, a weak woman, is in the hands of those tough men in the army.

"The servant will not leave." Xiangxia said with tears in her eyes, she raised her head and said, "The servant is not afraid of torture."

While the few people were talking, they heard Pingfeng's voice from outside the door, "Reporting to the princess, the prince said... Please ask Aunt Xiangxia who is beside the princess to go to the Habayashi Guard Camp for questioning."

It came so fast!
Things were getting worse and worse, Zhao Shuang wanted to speak out to stop her, but she saw Nanny Chang making a "no" gesture.

"Xiangxia, go and answer a few questions, the concubine will pick you up when the time comes." Nanny Chang helped Xiangxia up and said to the door, "Aunt Xiangxia will come out later."

Right now the guards are blocking the door, if the princess forcibly sends Xiangxia away, I'm afraid she will be convicted of the crime, and even though Xiangxia escaped, it will be difficult for the princess to escape unscathed.

Nanny Chang knew that these little maids were carefully selected by her back then and were extremely loyal, even if she died for the eldest princess, it would not be impossible.Even so, the old lady looked at Xiang Xia with a bit more distressed eyes.

Xiangxia went to pack some belongings, and just about to go out, she turned her head and knelt down towards Zhao Shuang, kowtowed and said, "Princess, Xiangxia will not be here from now on, please take care."

Zhao Shuang looked at the little maid in front of her who had been with her for a long time, feeling that she was preparing to leave forever, and said with a twinkle in her eyes, "Xiangxia, I will definitely rescue you."

"Princess take care." Xiang Xia didn't cry, she bowed again, got up and opened the door to go out.

Wait for the sound of people at the door to go away.

"Nurse, I'll... go to the Habayashi Guard later." Zhao Shuang got up and walked to the door of the clean room, then turned to Nanny Chang and said, "Go and invite Cheng Shaoqing from Wei Wei's Mansion."

"Princess, why don't you..." Nanny Chang glanced outside the door, seeing that Xiang Xia and Ping Feng had gone far away, she continued, "You might as well push it to Xiang Xia!"

"Mommy!"

"Princess, those of us who are slaves have long been prepared to die for our master," the old lady wiped away her tears, and said, "You don't know, the country is more important than anything else in the regent's heart. It's about the morale of the army, I'm afraid he has already made up his mind!"

Not long after the concubine woke up, the regent acted like a little sheep again in front of her. How did she know about Yang Xuan's ambition?

"Don't worry, Mammy, that Hongqiu... I won't let her go. I'll find out what happened this time." Zhao Shuang took a well-fitting cross-collar priestly robe, turned around and walked quickly into the clean room, her gaze slightly Leng, "If you can't find out, it's a big deal that you will die!"

Based on her skills, it is not impossible to rescue Xiangxia, kill Hongqiu, burn down the Habayashiwei barracks, and run back to the mountain.

"Princess, what do you mean by death? The queen entrusted you to this old slave. If you have any troubles, this old slave will die..."

Nanny Chang was wiping her tears and chattering, when she heard a cold female voice from the clean room, "Then why don't you go?!"

Only then did Nanny Chang realize that the concubine seemed to want her to invite Cheng Shaoqing from Wei Wei's mansion, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm going now, old slave! I'm going now!"

~~
It was dark, northeast of Weiyang Palace, Habayashiwei Barracks.

A bunch of bonfires were lit in the open space, and some sergeants were having dinner around the bonfire.

In the big tent, towering candlesticks were burning in the four corners, and on the wall were maps of the whole territory of Dazhou and the car map of Shangjing.
