family with love beasts

Chapter 167
On the morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Xia Xiaoxiao was still nestling in the Nuanyu Pavilion, when the gatekeeper of Prince Yan's Mansion hurried over, holding a box in his hand.It was said that it was sent by someone outside just now, and it was said to be a gift for Princess Ronghua.

Xia Qian smiled without doubting him, she was about to open it with a smile.Fang Feishunzi was worried, what if there were hidden weapons and poisons in it and hurt the princess?Unable to twist the two of them, Xia Qianxiao had no choice but to step back and ask the two of them to help open it.

As soon as Shunzi Fangfei opened the gift box, Xia Xiaoxiao noticed that Fangfei's face was pale, and Shunzi was not much better, with bruises on his hands.The only thing the two have in common is anger.

What's in here?Xia Qianxiao stepped forward curiously, but the two closed the gift box.Tears flickered in Fang Fei's eyes: "Princess, don't look."

Xia Qianxiao walked straight over, telling her instinctively that she didn't want to see what was inside.Under her strong insistence, Fang Fei had no choice but to open the gift box, only to see two heads.

Xia Qianxiao exclaimed, and quickly regained her composure. Now she is no longer what she used to be.

Fangfei and Shunzi's expressions told her that they knew these two people and that they had a close relationship.She looked at the two with clear eyes: "Who are these two?"

"Princess" Fang Fei finally couldn't restrain herself, and said bitterly: "This is Huarong and Lizi."

Xia Qianxiao had never heard of the names of the two strangers.

"Shunzi, tell me." Xia smiled calmly on the surface, but only she knew that her anger at this time, yes, she wanted to kill, not because of the death of these two people, but because of Shunzi and Fangfei sad.

"Princess, that's all I know." Shunzi told what he knew.His fair face was flushed with anger: "Princess, Xia Yanxi must have done this."

Xia Qianxiao didn't like it, she looked at the two heads for a while, and then said softly: "I will never let Huarong and Lizi die in vain."

Five years ago, when the third prince Xia Yanxi left Beijing, Princess Ronghua couldn't take good care of herself because she was worried about the bitter cold in the northwest region.Therefore, Princess Ronghua gave the maid Huarong and the little eunuch Lizi who had been with her all the time to the third prince.

At that time, the common people in Shengjing treated it as a casual chat after tea and dinner, saying that Princess Ronghua really had a deep affection for the third prince.

Because after so many years, and Princess Ronghua also said that she likes the fourth prince, this matter was also forgotten by everyone.Think carefully about Xia Zhaoyang's attitude towards her, and Xia Yanxi's disappearance.Xia Qian smiled and understood that Princess Ronghua might be enemies with the third prince. As for the people saying that they are close, they can only say that they are pretending to be close.

On this day, Xia Xiaoxiao received the heads of Huarong and Lizi. At the same time, Xia Chuxi also received a big gift in the East Palace. Like Xia Xiaoxiao, the gift came from the third prince Xia Yanxi.

When Xia Chuxi opened the gift box, as he expected, Ying Ying and Qiu Ying had gone to the Northwest for a while, but there was no news. It must have been an accident.Xia Yanxi, why did you go to the northwest?He vaguely felt that Xia Yanxi's return this time was not that simple.

His Highness sank like water, and in the end he just said, "Graceful burial!"

After Shi Yan came back early, Xia Xiaoxiao told him about this matter. After Shi Yan finished listening, he was silent for a long time before saying that Xia Yanxi wanted to become emperor.Xia Qianxiao didn't know what to say for a moment, it was planned long ago based on the time when the head was delivered, no matter whether she killed Xia Chaoyang or not, no matter whether Shi Yan had bloodbathed the Third Prince's Mansion or not, this matter would happen occur.

She thought of the man she and Shi Yan were outside the city of Shengjing that day, the man with a bright smile like the sun, and she sighed in her heart. It turned out that people in the royal family all had great ambitions.

She asked Shi Yan if she should tell Emperor Xia Wen about it.Shi Yan shook his head, saying that he planned to tell Empress Jiayi about this matter, the empress who had lived in Weiyang Palace for more than 20 years and had only stepped out of Weiyang Palace until now.Xia Qian looked at Shi Yan with a puzzled smile, why?
Shi Yan just kissed her and said, I will take you to meet the queen tomorrow.

When the evening was approaching, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, saying that he was inviting Shi Yan to drink in the Zuixin Building.Shi Yan was in Xia Qianxiao's Nuanyu Pavilion, he said hello to Xia Qianxiao and went out.Xia Qianxiao didn't want Shi Yan to go out at first, but Xia Chuxi was obviously uneasy and kind, she could tell, how could Shi Yan not understand.

Two hours later, Xia Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy because Shi Yan hadn't returned yet.She asked Fang Fei to go to Zuixinlou, and Fang Fei told her when she came back.Prince Rui was also there, Xia Xiaoxiao was slightly relieved, she and Xia Daixi were already in a cooperative relationship, with him around, he would not let anything happen to Shi Yan, unless he didn't want money from the No. [-] estate in the world.However, very soon, Prince Rui sent someone to Yilaiyan Prince's Mansion, saying that he had something urgent to see Princess Ronghua.The face of the visitor was a little pale, as if he had rushed over, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.After seeing Xia Qian smiled, he only said one sentence, Minister of Rites was injured, this is what Prince Rui ordered him to say, after meeting Princess Ronghua, he only needs to say this sentence.

Xia Qianxiao was uneasy, Shi Yan went out alone, how could he get hurt?Thinking of someone hurting Shi Yan, Xia Qianxiao became very anxious.When she came to Zuixin Tower, she rushed to the private room where the others were.Pushing open the door, what I saw was this scene. Shi Yan's white clothes were already stained red with blood, and there was a sword stuck in his chest.On the other end of the sword was Xia Chuxi, and Xia Chuxi's gentle face was replaced by a crazy smile.Shi Yan's eyes were very calm, as if he had expected it.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoxiao's actions were faster than her brain. She pulled out the sword from Fang Fei's arms and stabbed at Xia Chuxi.Xia Chuxi turned her head and looked at Xia Xiaoxiao. He just looked at her like that, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth. He saw killing intent in her eyes. She wanted to kill him, and killed him mercilessly.

The sound of the sword piercing the flesh woke everyone up. It seemed that Shi Yan had just seen Xia Xiaoxiao, and the hurt eyes just now were replaced by disbelief.

Xia Chuxi watched his own blood flow out helplessly, and he heard himself ask the woman opposite him in a very soft voice: "Rong Hua, why?"

Xia Qianxiao's eyes were full of killing intent towards Xia Chuxi: "Because you hurt him, then you deserve to die." After saying that, the long sword penetrated a little further.

"My lady, don't hurt him." Shi Yan pulled out the sword that was still on his chest, walked up to Xia Qianxiao, and held Xia Qianxiao's sword-holding hands.

After many times of force, Shi Yan's wound kept bleeding out, his complexion gradually turned pale, Xia Qianxiao was so sad that he couldn't breathe: "If he hurt you, then he deserves to die."

"My lady, don't hurt him." Shi Yan looked at her steadfastly, with complex eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao's sad heart was so angry that he had to put down the sword in his hand to help Shi Yan.
