Chapter 605 Mutation
The empress did not attend the sacrificial ceremony on the first day of the first month of the eighth year of Yuanheng.Zuoqiu Yue was dressed in a princely attire, leading civil and military officials to pay homage to the ancestors of the Zuoqiu royal family.

This day was also Xiao Mo's second birthday. After Shisi returned to the palace, he went to the kitchen to prepare meals in person. He planned to wait for Zuo Qiuyue to come back to celebrate with his brother and sister.

Who knew that Zuo Qiuyue hadn't come back yet, but an unexpected guest came.

"What is she here for?" Shisi was preparing dishes in the kitchen when she heard the news, Xiao Mo was carried out by Xiao Yan to play, Yinzhu and Mei Zhixue were helping her.

The little maid who sent the message naturally didn't know the answer, and Fourteen didn't even think about asking her to answer.

She said, "Let the people in." After she finished speaking, she continued to lower her head and fiddle with the beef in her hand.

Princess Gesang is wearing a dazzling red dress, with windy walks and fluttering skirts.He was led by the maid all the way to the small kitchen in the main courtyard, and what he saw was the scene of Shisi wearing sleeves and standing in front of the chopping board cutting meat.

There were two young women standing next to her, and one of them, Princess Gesang, was also very familiar. Wasn't she the future concubine who sat next to the Prince of Henan last night?
"You cook yourself?" Because she was too surprised, she paused outside the door before stepping in. "Aren't you the mistress of this palace?"

Fourteen didn't answer her words, but raised his head and asked, "I don't know why Princess Gesang is here?"

"Come and see you." Princess Gesang said familiarly, "I think you and I have a special affinity. In the words of your Dali, we hit it off right away."

If they only listened to her tone, people who didn't know would think that she and Shisi were very close friends.

"Who are you cooking this for?" She was still very curious about the fact that Fourteen actually cooked it herself. "Is there no one in your family who cooks? Do you want to do it yourself?"

"This is my private matter, so I won't bother the princess." Fourteen's attitude was lukewarm, but clearly alienated. "What the princess wants to say, listen carefully."

Princess Gesang looked at the kitchen knife in her hand, then at Yinzhu and Mei Zhixue beside her, the meaning was self-evident.

"The two of them don't need to evade, what the princess wants to say, you can say it directly."

Princess Gesang was silent, and said, "That's fine."

"I think you are a very capable woman." She said to Shishi, "You are smart, beautiful, and have high martial arts skills. I heard that you are also good at making money. You are no worse than your husband."

When she came up, she boasted a lot, so Fourteen couldn't help but stop what she was doing, and turned to look at her with puzzlement in her eyes.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I'm telling the truth." Princess Gesang said, "Every word comes from the heart."

"We have a saying here. I don't know if the princess has heard of it." Fourteen said, "It's called being courteous without doing anything, and stealing or rape."

"Father raised five teachers from the Dali dynasty for me in the palace." Princess Gesang pouted and said, "I can understand you scolding me."

"But it's okay, you must have misunderstood me. When the misunderstanding is resolved, you will naturally not think that I am a bad person." A smile appeared on her face again.

Personal grievances aside, Fourteen appreciates her exceptional ability to relate to people.

Seeing that Fourteen put the shredded meat on a clean plate and started cutting a new piece, but there was no response, Princess Gesang was neither eager nor discouraged.Then he said, "I actually didn't want to rob you of your husband."

"Oh?" Fourteen looked up at her, "Then what did you do last night?"

"I want to marry the King of Henan, but I don't want to take your husband away." Princess Gesang explained, "Your husband is really outstanding, but I don't like him, let alone love him, so I won't marry you." grab."

"I want to marry him because I think he is the most likely to become the crown prince among all the princes in the Dali Dynasty. If I marry him, it means that the entire Scarlet Face Kingdom will support him behind him. To become the crown prince, to ascend the throne Being emperor is just a matter of time."

"But don't worry, I will not compete with you, whether it is the position of husband or queen. After he becomes the emperor of the Dali Dynasty, the position of queen will be yours. I only need the title of imperial concubine."

"Use a false title to exchange for the support of the entire Scarlet Face Kingdom, why not do it?" She looked at Shisi, her eyes were so clean that people couldn't bear to question her.

"Why do you support Zuoqiu Yue?" Fourteen did not deny his ambition to ascend to the throne, but asked directly, "You only want to give and not ask for anything in return? As far as I know, the gods in the temple are not so kind."

"I just said that you are a very smart woman." Princess Gesang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and praised, "You can see through it at a glance."

She walked half a circle around Fourteen, from her left to her right.

"In fact, I made a deal with you, that is, the red face will help your husband ascend to the throne of God, and then we will annex Tule by force." Princess Gesang said, "At that time, the results will be divided equally between the two countries, what do you want? "

Fourteen stood the kitchen knife on the chopping board, turned around slowly, and looked at the smiling Princess Gesang.

Expectation flashed in Princess Gesang's eyes.

But Shishi said: "I don't want to make this deal with you."

The expectation in Princess Gesang's eyes turned into disappointment, and she asked, "Why?"

"I've said it all, I won't rob you of your husband. I can swear to you that I will never fall in love with him, and your status will not be threatened in any way."

"Hmph." Fourteen sneered and said, "You think I'm worried about this?"

"Isn't it?" Princess Gesang asked suspiciously.

"You are a master negotiator, and even more a master of diplomacy." Fourteen looked at her immature face and said, "You are not yet 20 years old this year. The red-faced royal family is lucky to have you."

"But little lady, at the negotiating table, the most core interests can impress the other party. Do you think I value the position of queen most?"

The mask of innocence on Princess Gesang's face slowly faded: "Then what do you value most?"

"Wait for you……"

"Princess!" Before the fourteenth words were finished, Xiao Wu appeared at the kitchen door panting, "Something happened!"

Fourteen's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"

"My lord...Princess Rong An died in Yeting Palace, Your Majesty was furious, now my lord is punished to kneel in front of the Tai Chi Hall."

……

Henan King Zuoqiu Yue had just led all the officials to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple in the morning, but was punished to kneel in front of the Tai Chi Hall less than half an hour after the ceremony.The news spread quickly like the wind to all the officials and officials in Shendu City. They saw Zuoqiu Yue wearing a formal dress and kneeling down on the stone steps in front of the Tai Chi Hall in full view.

The reason was that Princess Rong An died, and she died on the first day of the new year after being relegated to common people and imprisoned in Ye Ting Palace for less than a month.

When the palace man found her, her body was hung from the beam by a rope made of torn ties, and her body had been stiff for a long time.
