Resourceful beauty

Chapter 262 Ripped Face

"The Crown Princess was so weak that she fell asleep after only saying a few words. The maid beside her said that the Crown Princess had been in a coma for a long time after waking up. Moreover, His Royal Highness ordered , don’t let the Crown Princess bother you. Therefore, if you have anything to do, you have to go and talk to His Royal Highness in person.”

Fang Shanggong replied softly, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Queen Zhou's hand tightly holding the armrest of the phoenix seat. The white back of her hand made the faintly visible blue veins even more glaring.

"Go talk to the prince?"

With a sneer, Queen Zhou glanced back at Chu Xiu, who was dressed in brocade clothes but couldn't hide her gloomy expression, and said, "Did you hear that?"

Chu Xiu gritted her teeth with hatred, but at this moment she couldn't even say a word.

That day, she had just discussed with several shopkeepers how to operate the business in the Anzhuang, and when she was in a good mood, the carriage drove into the lane, only to hear the driver startled, and the carriage stopped suddenly.

Thinking that she had already reached the gate of the Princess Mansion, Chu Xiu glanced at the maid beside her, and told her to lift the curtain to get out of the car, but just when she saw the bright light outside, she heard a scream, and the maid took a step back palely, stepped on his skirt.

If it weren't for the personal servant girl who has served him for many years, with Chu Xiu's temperament, she would have said coldly immediately.

After glaring at her, Chu Xiu stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the car, and there was a woman covered in blood and a ferocious face. Although she looked strange, Chu Xiu was sure in her heart almost immediately that this was the case. The mother-in-law is probably one of the ones who delivered the crown princess in the East Palace.

What's more, the person who met the woman did not reveal her whereabouts from the beginning to the end, and even confessed to her. If the woman asks, the words are vague, and it would be best to lead the suspicion to Prince Xuan's mansion. but.

Now, the woman's body was just thrown away in front of the princess mansion, so Chu Yuan must know something.

However, how did he find out in just one day?
Feeling a little unbelievable, and seeing people gradually gathering around, there were still people clamoring to go to Shuntian Mansion to report the case, Chu Xiu immediately ordered the driver, went into the mansion and summoned someone to come out and take the dead body It was handled quickly.

Without even showing her face, the carriage rushed to the back door, and Chu Xiu got out of the carriage from there.

But as soon as the front foot stepped into the back door, there was only a crisp sound in the wind, and the next moment, a feathered arrow pierced the wind and pierced the ground one step ahead of her skirt.

The feathered arrow moved tremblingly, and the envelope tied with red silk thread at the end of the arrow looked particularly shocking.

Panicked, I raised my eyes to look, but there was silence everywhere, so where could I see anyone?

After ordering people to look around, when they came back, they all looked dejected and did not dare to face them directly. Chu Xiu knew that the other party was superb in martial arts, and the guards in her mansion were like a bag of wine in front of him.

It's not a letter of war or a threat letter as imagined. On a thin page, who will Chu Xiu send, at what time of day, what methods are used to threaten and lure Mrs. Yan, and what will be returned to her? Such a promise made Mrs. Yan nod her head and promise that Fang Ruxuan would be stillborn, or both would die.

From the beginning to the end, it was as if that person was watching with his own eyes when he was calculating everything. Chu Xiu's heart trembled uncontrollably like her hand holding a letter.

She knew that Chu Yuan was unfathomable and had some abilities, otherwise, how could he have been on the reserve position half a year after returning from a forgotten proton?

However, when the facts were before her eyes, Chu Xiu still felt that she might have underestimated Chu Yuan in the past.

If there was only the corpse at the gate, she could still go into the palace with a pale face and cry pitifully, to avenge her own grievances, but the other party has already lifted her hole card away from the thin piece of paper in front of her. Chu Xiu knew that if she really rushed into the palace regardless, then what she would face would not necessarily be what it was.

After several days of silence, Chu Xiu was helpless.

Those people who were suppressed or bullied by me in the past, I can always find their weaknesses more or less, and kill them with one blow, but now, I clearly know that Chu Yuan is standing opposite me, but Chu Xiu doesn't know it at all. What can you do, that palpitating feeling, as if no matter what you do, it is ridiculous in front of the other party, because once you make a move, it means a disastrous defeat, and even if you haven't made a move, the other party's Remember the cold gaze, and you will be torn apart.

This feeling made Chu Xiu, who had always been manipulating others from above, a little ashamed and angry.

But now, she really doesn't know what she can do.

In the end, she bit the bullet and entered the palace, and found Queen Zhou.

Originally, she thought that she could find a breakthrough from Fang Ruxuan, who was always gentle and soft like a sheep, but at this moment, seeing that she was so incompetent, she could fall asleep after just a few words, Chu Xiu was even more afraid in her heart.

"Mother, she did it on purpose, she must have done it on purpose."

Speaking angrily, when Chu Xiu thought of Fang Ruxuan's smiling face, she trembled with hatred, and even thought viciously in her heart, why didn't Fang Ruxuan just die?Why did God keep her, let her step into the gate of hell with one foot, but pulled her back again.

"The prince is back, she has a backbone, even if she did it on purpose, so what can you do?"

After glancing at Chu Xiu, Queen Zhou said helplessly.

Seeing that Chu Xiu's face changed slightly, Queen Zhou sighed and comforted her: "Fortunately, the prince now has some taboos. Otherwise, if he knew that you did it that day, how could he stop doing this? You just keep quiet." , don’t provoke him, and don’t provoke the princess, let’s put this matter aside for a while, let’s discuss it in the long run.”

Looking faintly at the dark front, Queen Zhou softly told Chu Xiu, but in her heart, she sighed inaudibly.

I thought that Chu Yuan's trip to the drought-stricken area this time would never return. Who would have thought that he would be so fateful?
The [-] light cavalry who went with them only injured a dozen of them when they dealt with the rogues, but on the way back, more than half of them were replaced by the people sent by the Zhongshan Hou Mansion in secret.

Then, there was the ambush by bandits.

The rogues are fake, and the capable people are the real ones, but even so, Chu Yuan was able to disappear without a trace under the eyes of everyone, and then turned back with a thunderous force, not only wiped out those stubborn "rogues", Even the problematic part of the light cavalry was successfully resolved.

The day Chu Yuan returned to Shangyang City with only two hundred light cavalry in plain clothes, the Queen of Zhou knew that all the calculations had come to nothing, and this game was a complete defeat.

In the past few days, not only the Princess Chang's Mansion, but also Prince Yong's Mansion and Zhongshanhou's Mansion have been silent. The abnormality must be more eye-catching.

The mother and daughter sat silently, not knowing what each was thinking in their hearts, and the maidservants in the hall also held their breaths and kept their voices silent, like a piece of wood, not daring to make a sound.

When a maidservant stepped in and announced "His Royal Highness is here", Queen Zhou and Chu Xiu were startled at the same time.

The astonishment was fleeting, and a gentle smile appeared on Queen Zhou's face, and she returned to her former dignity and generosity. Chu Xiu, who was sitting beside her, looked calm, but she couldn't restrain her hands in her armholes. Live trembling.

Accompanied by Chu Yuan's steady footsteps, Chu Xiu lowered her head slightly, but she felt that since Chu Yuan entered the palace, her scalp began to tingle, as if a bunch of cold eyes had been staring at her.

"I have seen the queen..."

After bowing his hands and saluting, Chu Yuan stood motionless in the center of the hall, and at the side, Chu Xiuqiang calmed down and got up to give a blessing, "I have seen the prince..."

"The prince is here, is the princess better?"

Not wanting to embarrass her daughter, and without waiting for Chu Yuan to say anything, Queen Zhou began to care about Fang Ruxuan's body.

Chu Yuan smiled, looked directly at Queen Zhou and said, "Didn't the Queen send Fang Shanggong to look at it just now? You should know the situation of the Crown Princess clearly by now."

The smile on her face froze, Queen Zhou raised her eyes to look at Chu Yuan, not knowing why he came to Fengming Palace at this moment.

declare war?Chu Yuan might not have the courage.

beg for mercy?It doesn't seem to be his style, otherwise, there wouldn't be the bad things these days.

Thinking wildly in her heart, Queen Zhou looked at Chu Yuan with a gentle smile and said, "Prince, sit down, what's the matter, let's talk slowly, if the family doesn't talk about the same thing, what else is there to talk about?"

After saying that, Queen Zhou turned her head to look at Fang Shanggong and said, "The prince likes to drink Longjing before Yu, go and make tea."

"No..."

As soon as Fang Shanggong moved, Chu Yuan's words of refusal came.

Before taking his seat, Chu Yuan took another two steps forward, stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at Queen Zhou who was sitting in front of her, and Chu Xiu who was beside her. Chu Yuan looked down with a serious expression on his face.

"Gu only has a few words, leave after finishing speaking, and don't waste the good tea from Fengming Palace."

Said jokingly, Chu Yuan's gaze passed Chu Xiu's face, and landed on Queen Zhou's face, "Whether it's the rogues in Suiyang, or Mrs. Yan in the palace, you don't have to try hard to justify yourself, it's okay The more you have, the more ridiculous your behavior is, isn't it?"

This time, Queen Zhou couldn't laugh anymore.

She didn't expect that Chu Yuan would really dare to come to Fengming Palace so grandiosely and tear himself apart with her.

Chu Yuan continued to say self-consciously: "You want to get rid of me and let King Yong take the throne. In this way, even if you face the enemy head-on, you won’t be ashamed if you lose, right? But what did you do?”

With a sneer of disdain, Chu Yuan said: "If King Yong has the ability, how can he be King Yong for so many years and still do nothing? You are willing to continue to support him. This is your business, but I solemnly say Once again, if you have the ability, come to Gu, the sword has no eyes, even if Gu is buried in Suiyang, or nearby, he will only sigh to himself that his ability is not good, and he will never blame others. Therefore, this time, Gu is only a warning , if there is another time, it will not be so hasty like this time."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Queen Zhou's forced composure and Chu Xiu's precarious figure, Chu Yuan turned around and strode away.
