atypical prostitute

Chapter 65 tit for tat
"What did you say!"

Ding Fengyi was shocked when he heard the words, he didn't care about his dignity, and stepped forward to ask questions.

The female history said while panting: "Hua Jingrong... the dog... said it personally. The King of Changsha invited His Royal Highnesses King Ning and King Fu to eat half a bucket of peppercorns... already..."

When Li Ci heard this, he knew that the two princes were indeed dead.

Because they believe that there are spirits after death, the dead royal family members must leave the whole body, so in practice, in addition to the favorite poisonous wine in legends, the drug that leads to the machine, and the red crest of the crane, the method of giving peppercorns was also popular for a while. Because Zanthoxylum bungeanum itself is poisonous, ingesting large amounts can cause convulsions, delirium, dyspnea, and eventually death from respiratory failure.Although the process was a bit painful, compared to the seven-hole bleeding of poisoned wine, it was already a relatively peaceful death.

But last time when the eldest princess entered the palace and mentioned the two princes, the attitude of the king of Changsha can be called kind, no matter how he turned around, he just——

Li Ci couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to figure it out.

She glanced at Yu Jing and found that Yu Jing's face was so pale.

Li Ci subconsciously reached out and held her hand. She was shivering, frighteningly cold.

In this era where life is like flying canopy, even princes can become dead ghosts in an instant, not to mention rootless duckweed like them.

On the contrary, it was Ding Fengyi, who managed to keep a bit of clarity. She asked the female secretary to sit down and said, "Your Highness means——"

Mentioning the eldest princess, Nu Shi also calmed down, and said: "Your Highness will never let Hua Jingrong act recklessly in the eldest princess's mansion."

"Then... the female history is here, but His Royal Highness the Princess wants us to..."

Li Ci noticed that when Yu Jing asked this question, she used us.

The female history replied smoothly: "The eldest princess was worried that the noise in front would make the ladies uneasy, so she specially sent me to reassure the ladies. No matter how powerful the king of Changsha is, it is delusional to want to do anything wrong in the eldest princess's mansion."

"But... after all, it's Duke An... and..."

Yu Jing hesitated to speak, and the eldest princess was naturally not afraid of Hua Jingrong and his son, but the opponent came aggressively and brought along the forbidden army, and the identity of the eldest princess could only stop them temporarily.If you really start to be ruthless, I'm afraid it will be——

Yu Jing's worry was exactly what Li Ci thought.The Forbidden Army of all dynasties is mostly the children of meritorious service, and the most lawless.This time, under the orders of the King of Changsha, they came to arrest people. Although the eldest princess's majesty has stopped drinking for the time being, as long as there is a slight retreat, those fried dough sticks will definitely take the opportunity to break into the backyard to moles the female relatives.

Instead of waiting anxiously in Jingxiu Garden, it is better to go to the brightly lit Wutong Garden. It is expected that they would not dare to mess around under the eyes of the eldest princess.

After thinking for a while, Li Ci said: "Ding Fengyi, I want to go to the Wutong Garden immediately. If they are really lawless and run around in the inner courtyard under the pretext of hiding Concubine Fu, something will happen instead."

Ding Fengyi was also surprised when the young fourth lady would say that she was worried about a woman's reputation. Then she thought of her background, sighed inwardly, and agreed: "What the lady said is very true. What is the reputation of a woman?" Take care, even if it is read by those dubious men and spread the word, it will be very bad."

Nu Shi also nodded in agreement.

Li Ci asked Xiang Yujing again, and she naturally had no objection, so she made up her mind, and rushed towards Wutong Garden.

……

……

Wutong Garden, as the eldest princess's place, is luxuriously furnished, with gold as columns and white jade as bricks. As far as he can see, there are thick armors, sharp knives, blazing torches, and pine oil smoke makes people's eyes hurt.

When Fang Fang entered, he was immediately blocked by a soldier with no eyesight, and was woken up by a slap in the face of the female secretary. His eyes were full of fear and resentment, but Li Ci was too lazy to look at them, and walked straight into the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was strangely harmonious.

The eldest princess was woken up just as she was about to take a rest. Her black hair was tied into a loose bun, and a few jade hairpins were inserted at random. She was wearing a light red silk gown, and she was wearing a brocade gown with a thousand layers of gold and peonies. Leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, her posture was lazy and it was hard to hide the chill in the corners of her eyes.Hua Jingrong, on the other hand, was dressed in shining armor, sitting cross-legged and drinking tea opposite the eldest princess, seemingly neither humble nor overbearing, but her eyebrows were pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Lici and Yujing approaching gracefully, the corners of the eldest princess's drooping mouth finally softened a little, and before they came forward to salute, she slid her fingers slightly and said, "Give me a seat."

The two ladies came forward side by side, saluted and thanked each other, and then sat upright.

The eldest princess turned her beautiful eyes, glanced at the female historian who was sent to report to Jingxiu Garden, and said, "But someone is nagging?"

Nv Shi took a step forward and was about to reply when Li Ci said first: "There are no idlers waiting to chatter, but Li Ci heard from Nv Shi's sister that something important happened in the palace and An Guogong brought people to the door, although Your Highness asked Yu Jing to relax with me. Our hearts are resting, but our hearts are restless. We feel that this is a failure of His Highness's usual cultivation, so Sister Shi, the daughter of Yang Yang, brought us here."

She explained fluently, although the words had the meaning of clinging, they were extremely comfortable to the ears.

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Princess smiled and said, "Women are interested."

Yujing and Li Ci hurriedly bowed their heads back, expressing fear.

The eldest princess nodded kindly, stopped being polite to them, and said directly to Hua Jingrong: "Duke An has been getting more tempered lately."

Hua Jingrong knew that he would definitely be ridiculed when he led the imperial army into the Princess's mansion at night, but he didn't care, put down his teacup, cupped his hands and said: "It's just a matter of loyalty to the emperor."

"Your Majesty? The position of Great Treasure has not yet been decided, so which lord do you entrust!"

The eldest princess asked back, although the king of Changsha is acting on behalf of the king at the moment and is domineering, but he has not officially ascended the throne after all, the eldest princess insists on picking stabs, and Hua Jingrong is irrefutable.

He had no choice but to suffer from being dumb, and said: "I have just told His Highness that a major incident happened in the palace. King Ning and King Fu conspired to commit a crime. Fortunately, they have already been punished. His Royal Highness Changsha is worried that the remaining party will stir up trouble and cause trouble for the capital, so he specially ordered me to come and search for the remaining party. , Protect Your Highness."

"Anti-Party? It's really a reversal of black and white, right and wrong."

The eldest princess sighed softly, held the jade ruyi in her hand, tapped it lightly, and said: "Mr. An, why do you make such a gesture to me? You don't know as much about it as I do? How can there be rebellion against the party? It's obviously Qilang and others. Too late! Afraid—”

"Your Highness, please be careful!"

Regarding his interruption, the eldest princess stared coldly back, and said: "I still need to be cautious?! Fu Zhu's letter of rebellion has been spread all over the world, and A Luan's letter of persuasion may have already reached Agan's hands. Qilang If you want to be emperor, you have to weigh yourself first! Needless to say, King Yuzhang, even King Yan, who has already entered the urn, is not easy to marry. If you can't block him in the capital this time, wait for him to return Fief, I'm afraid it's..."

Hearing this, Li Ci finally understood.

No wonder Changsha King suddenly turned his face and killed the two Xiaoyao princes, King Ning and King Fu.

No wonder Hua Jingrong led people straight to the Princess's mansion.

It turned out that King Yan had entered the game.

King Yan and King Runan were born to Concubine De, King Yan lived four times, King Runan lived five times, under the name of Prince Huaide, who passed away from childhood to early death, the two brothers were mild-tempered and fair in dealing with things, and they were among the kings. The prestige is extremely high.For King Changsha, King Yan was a threat second only to King Yuzhang in terms of background and ability.

It can be said that the killing of King Ning and King Fu was just incidental, the search for the remnants of King Fu was a cover, and the purpose of King Changsha's actions was still King Yan.

It's just that the eldest princess was so straightforward that Hua Jingrong lost his scruples. He stood up, his iron armor clanging, and said sharply:

"Since the eldest princess has seen through it, why make it difficult for someone? If there is any offense, I will definitely take the blame in the future, but today, it is—"

"Do you believe that I defended King Yan and hid Princess Fu and others in the inner courtyard?"

Not to be outdone, the eldest princess asked back, Fengmu was already full of killing intent.

The king of Changsha has never had anything to do with this sixth sister, let alone Hua Jingrong who loves and fears her?Seeing her murderous intent, An Guogong shrank back and said: "Your Highness, I am only following orders. If Your Highness thinks that the prince is out of style, you can send someone into the palace to ask for Yi's order. I will accompany you and wait for a reply." .”

The eldest princess didn't take the opportunity to force her, she just sighed and said, "Hua Jingrong, Hua Jingrong, you really can't change your courageous temper for the rest of your life."

Not wanting her to suddenly say these words of concern, Hua Jingrong's face was surprised, but his tone softened a lot, and said: "Others see me as a beautiful person, but in fact, I am just a chess piece manipulated behind my back. The eldest princess knows that For the truth, why bother to make it difficult for me to embarrass me?"

"Are you still afraid of embarrassment?" The eldest princess smiled lightly. She was already extremely beautiful, but now she was smiling and more intoxicating, but in Li Ci's eyes, there was only mystery and fear left.

On this occasion, I shouldn't have laughed.

Sure enough, after the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming, it returned to the world of ice and snow. The eldest princess restrained herself and said, "I put my words here. If you want to search my eldest princess's mansion, unless the prince of Changsha comes, otherwise--come and fight one by one, come on!" One pair, one pair! Although the threshold of the Princess Palace is not high, it is no better than a wine shop and hotel, you can come and go as you want!"

As if to confirm her words, there was a commotion outside, and a soldier entered and reported to Hua Jingrong.

Hua Jingrong heard it, his face was weird, he glanced at the eldest princess, but finally held back.

On the contrary, the eldest princess saw Lici and Yujing's confused faces, half explaining and half threatening: "The current situation is not stable, and I am a girl who is afraid that people will take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, the three hundred families that I raised will come in handy for the first time. To deal with my unworthy ex-husband. No wonder A-gan said that the Imperial Guard’s discipline is lax and vulnerable.”

She has the upper hand for the time being, her posture is elegant, and she speaks Ruolan, but every word is sarcasm to the extreme.And those who can work in Wutong Garden are those who only have the eldest princess and no ex-consort in their hearts. Seeing His Highness running on Hua Jingrong, they all cooperated or held fans or lowered their heads to hide their smiles, which fell into the eyes of the already embarrassed Hua Jingrong , more and more ashamed.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, and became angry from embarrassment: "It's treason to raise an army privately!"

"Is it a big treason?" The eldest princess asked back: "I am titled the eldest princess, and my rank is equal to that of a prince. I can raise family generals. The amount is three hundred, which does not exceed the stipulations of the ancestor's legal system. The military equipment of the sergeant is also not usurped. An Guogong, I Which one has been violated, I want you to explain clearly!"

Such a tit-for-tat confrontation, but every word is full of courtesy, Hua Jingrong didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the eldest princess, but now that he has been reprimanded, he looks like he has beaten eggplants, saying: "It's ignorance, I still hope Your Highness Haihan."

The eldest princess then pretended to be generous and said: "You and I have known each other for a long time, if it's just a momentary mistake, I won't mind."

"Someone knows."

The implication is very clear, if you retreat despite difficulties, I will let you go this time.If you insist on being right with me, I won't—

Li Ci understood their implication, even though she didn't know what the eldest princess relied on, she was able to despise Hua Jingrong and even the King of Changsha.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, the dialogue between these two people is full of strangeness, the most direct strangeness is Hua Jingrong's self-proclaimed.

The tone of "some" is neither humble nor overbearing. Hua Jingrong broke into the eldest princess's mansion relying on the will of the king of Changsha, had a conversation with the eldest princess, and called "some" modestly, which showed his pride.Then he was suppressed by the eldest princess, and he was so embarrassed that he even claimed to be an ordinary "I".Strangely, after the eldest princess played this hole card, Hua Jingrong used "some" again, the meaning of which is worth discussing.

——Since knowing her own life experience, Li Ci has been careful in every way, and even more carefully observed the existences such as the eldest princess who can influence her life, writing down every word and deed, and pondering over and over again.Only then did he discover the secret of Hua Jingrong and the eldest princess.

It's a pity that I don't know what secret they are playing.

One day all the secrets will no longer be secrets, Li Ci thought to himself, but with a smile on his face, he wrote down those ambiguities.

The eldest princess accepted as soon as she was good, seeing that Hua Jingrong had regressed, she stopped forcing her and asked her maid to bring refreshments for the soldiers.

This dessert looked exquisite but tasted bitter, Hua Jingrong curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner, picked one up, and chewed it.

Seeing his distressed face and frivolous sideburns, the eldest princess smiled without saying a word.

When the host and guest were "harmonious", there was a sudden noise in front of them. It was a woman in brocade clothes and jade hairpins who came with a peacock feather fan, her posture was graceful and domineering.

It is the rumored Shangguan Nushi who is full of poems and books and will be the side concubine of Changsha Wang!
