Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 767
Shangguan Bingyun sneered in her heart, although she was the one who guided them, if they didn't sow dissension in front of the Queen of the North Court, and instigate the Queen of the North Court to take active actions to get rid of Hou Chenxi who she was pretending to be.If they hadn't used despicable means to frame themselves first, they wouldn't have fallen to where they are today.

Zhang Zhiruo's entire spine was broken, even if he managed to survive, he would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life, and his bright future would be ruined.

Shangguan Bingyun persuaded: "Auntie, I know you are very sad that your cousin has an accident, but you have to take care of your body!"

Mrs. Zhang was in a trance, wiped away tears when she heard her say this, and muttered as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Zhiruo is so pitiful."

Then she suddenly reacted, raised her head abruptly, stared at Shangguan Bingyun, and said angrily: "Hou Chenxi, why are you here!"

In her opinion, Hou Chenxi was the chief culprit who caused her daughter's injury, and she wished she could pounce on her and tear her to pieces.

Shangguan Bingyun said indifferently: "Auntie, please mourn."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, a look of anger suddenly appeared on her face, and she said bitterly: "Hou Chenxi, if you hadn't wanted to compete with my family Zhiruo on horseback riding, how could she have fallen into this state. So, everything is because of you, It was you who killed our Zhiruo..."

Shangguan Bingyun just looked at Zhang with pity, shook his head and did not speak.

Sensing the pity in Shangguan Bingyun's eyes, Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt desolate. She has no son, and there is only such a daughter under her knees, but now she has only half life left. Her husband blamed her for instigating her daughter to fight for power. At this moment Maybe he hated her.Her usual way of treating servants is very cruel, except for her daughter, there is no one in the whole family who can talk.At this moment, on this not-so-cold night, facing Shangguan Bingyun with a face as cold as ice, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill.Because she sincerely felt that she seemed really pitiful now.

"Did you come to see my joke?" Seeing Hou Chenxi dressed up by Shangguan Bingyun, Zhang's already gloomy mood seemed to be worsened.

"Auntie, you misunderstood me. Why should I laugh at you? My cousin has become like this, and I feel sorry for her. I understand how you feel now, but I have to tell you something. Today, my cousin was injured. It's not an accident."

Mrs. Zhang raised her head suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "What did you say!"

Shangguan Bingyun sighed, and said: "At first I didn't want to talk about this matter, because it would involve too many people, but if I didn't talk about it, I would feel uneasy inside. I'm sorry for the injured cousin and aunt."

"You didn't tell it because you couldn't tell? Or did you think I was incompetent and couldn't ask about this matter?" Sensing something strange, Mrs. Zhang stared into Shangguan Bingyun's eyes, her eyes gradually becoming sharper.

Shangguan Bingyun seemed hesitant to speak, and wanted to speak, but hesitated for a while: "I also know that this matter cannot be kept from my aunt, but if I tell my aunt, it may affect my aunt and the Great Princess of the North Courtyard." relationship... If such consequences are caused, I will not be able to atone for my sin... But if I don't tell my aunt, I am afraid that my aunt will be kept in my bones for the rest of my life..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's complexion changed drastically, and her voice trembled. She supported the armrest of the sandalwood chair as if she was about to stand up, and her sleeves slid across the table, almost bringing down the teacup beside her: "What did you say?" ? Has something to do with the Great Princess of the North Courtyard? What do you mean by that?"

Hou Chenxi sighed, and said: "Nowadays, the open and secret struggle between the royal family and the royal family is extremely complicated, and the princess of Beiyuan was born as the empress dowager's biological mother. On the surface, she is kind and generous, but in fact she is a narrow-minded person! I heard that my aunt My cousin and I went to the North Courtyard Princess and said a lot of bad things about me before, so I was very scared, so I asked Xiao Zhen to explain for me, but Xiao Zhen came back and said to me, the North Courtyard Princess thinks you are You deliberately provoked the mother-child relationship between them, but you are very angry with your actions. Aunt, you know that King Xu has a niece who is the princess of Yelu Gugeng, the king of Zhao who has always had a different heart. Mother, he considers the position of Empress Dowager Xiao first of all, so it is easy to have other associations, and your Zhang family and Xu Wang usually have many intersections, and your deliberate overtures are regarded by her as alienation That’s why the Great Princess of the North Court wanted to teach us a lesson! That day... it was just my cousin’s bad luck!”

"What did you say!" These words sounded like a thunder in Zhang's mind, shaking her heart.She hurriedly wanted to stand up, but she lifted her body halfway and then fell back into the chair. Her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and her whole body was shaking non-stop, as if her soul had been sucked out suddenly.

These words were deduced repeatedly by Shangguan Bingyun, there were very few loopholes, and the logic was very reasonable. If Xiao Chuo heard it, he would naturally find something strange, but with Zhang's mentality, it was more than enough to fool her.

Shangguan Bingyun knew that when he said these words now, Mrs. Zhang would definitely believe them, and would definitely believe them.She continued: "Auntie may not believe me, but I hope that Auntie will send someone to investigate the background of that Shumurutie. He has been the middle-level commander of the imperial guards for so many years. He has excellent martial arts skills, especially archery skills. , How could there be a wrong shot for no reason, and it happened to shoot in the direction of my cousin and me, this is clearly someone using his hand to warn us!"

"No...it's impossible!" Mrs. Zhang looked in disbelief, or didn't want to believe such a result.

Shangguan Bingyun smiled and said: "Auntie, no matter why you and my cousin hate me so much. But in the eyes of outsiders, our Hou family and Auntie's family are still a family. Although you said it in front of the North Court Princess There are a lot of bad things about me. Even if outsiders know that we are not harmonious, but in the eyes of others, we are relatives after all, and no one can change this. The princess of the North Court will think that you deliberately betrayed me to win her trust. I don’t have any plans, but I want to warn you, what’s so strange about it?”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Bingyun paused for a moment, then glanced at the unconscious Zhang Zhiruo, and said, "What's more, my cousin has always been very close to His Royal Highness Yan Wang, and everyone thinks that she will be Princess Yan in the future , if something happens to her, it will naturally be a serious blow to His Royal Highness King Yan. Although His Royal Highness Yan Wang has not had much contact with those royal families who have different intentions, after all, he is a very important prince of the royal family... This is naturally There are many intricacies. Alas! All in all, the cousin is nothing more than a scapegoat."

Mrs. Zhang stayed in the chair as if she had lost her soul, her teeth clenched her pale lips tightly, her eyes were red, and she said, "Hou Chenxi, why are you telling me this!"

Shangguan Bingyun smiled softly, she was not afraid of Mrs. Zhang going to investigate, because it was indeed the Great Princess of the North Courtyard who did it.Now she just told Zhang this fact, and said with hatred on her face: "Because I am also a victim. If my horse hadn't happened to have some problems during the day, I would have been shot to death. The people behind not only wanted to Killing my cousin will also cause us to fight, aunt, do you think I will hate you less than you?"

"What is causing internal strife?! I don't understand at all!" Zhang asked with his eyes wide open and gritted his teeth.

A layer of regret floated on Shangguan Bingyun's face: "The reason why my cousin raced horses with me is just a momentary rivalry between girls. We don't have any deep-seated hatred, but in the eyes of others, I have become a bad cousin. The chief culprit of the injury, in this way, if my uncle doesn't say anything, he will definitely have a rift with his father in his heart. Our two families have always supported each other above the court. If we turn our faces, our power will be weakened , if someone takes advantage of the situation at this time, it is not impossible to cause the two families to turn against each other, and it will be easy to break each other."

"Ah..." Mrs. Zhang woke up like a dream, and now her anger has gradually calmed down, but she just sighed deeply, with a dejected expression as if all the strength in her body had been drained: "Go back first. Don't go back Tell anyone."

Shangguan Bingyun smiled faintly, and said: "Auntie, please rest well, I'm leaving first."

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and looked at her back, and with a snap, she picked up the teapot on the table next to her and smashed it on the ground, while Mrs. Zhang's confidant nurse said, "Ma'am, what Miss Hou said probably didn't have any good intentions. "

Mrs. Zhang slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, her eyes moved to the top of the tent like dead ashes, she clenched her fist vigorously, her nails pierced deeply into her flesh, and said quietly: "Maybe Hou Chenxi is uneasy and kind, but What she said must be true, at least she didn't lie about who was the one who killed my daughter. That arrow must have been arranged by the Queen of the North Courtyard!"

In Zhang's view, there is no need for Hou Chenxi to lie about this point, because if her horse hadn't happened to be in trouble at that time, Hou Chenxi would never have escaped, and in that scene, the two girls' horses were almost If they go hand in hand, no matter whether the other party wants to kill Hou Chenxi or Zhang Zhiruo, both of them will be in danger together!Mrs. Zhang only thought that Hou Chenxi was destined to be fatal, but did not think that this seemingly weak Hou Chenxi was dressed up by Shangguan Bingyun, and with Shangguan Bingyun's strength, it would be easy to pretend to dodge the arrow unintentionally. matter.

Mrs. Zhang resents Hou Chenxi, but she hates the Great Princess of Beiyuan even more. They originally wanted to get rid of Hou Chenxi with the help of the Great Princess of Beiyuan, but the result was absurdly unbearable for her. Her daughter is her only spiritual sustenance in this world. But he was killed by the killer he sent!
