concubines

Chapter 109
Before Zhou Shuxuan figured out how to deal with Miaoli, he looked up and saw the panting eldest princess.

It's not normal to come so early.Zhou Shuxuan sized her up a few times, then set his gaze on her neck, where there were bruises.This mark appeared on the unmarried eldest princess, which was even more strange.

Zhou Shuxuan asked with a smile on his face, "Auntie, do you have anything to order for coming here so early?"

"It's nothing, just to see if you're still alive." The eldest princess's eyes rolled around him a few times, and she saw that there was no big problem, and her complexion was not bad, probably because she was thinking too much.

"I'm still living well, but you, aunt..." Zhou Shuxuan was indeed a little curious, and asked, "Will I have an uncle soon?"

"Ah?" The eldest princess finally caught his gaze. She went out in a hurry and didn't look in the mirror. Could it be... She stretched out her hands and clutched her neck guiltily, "Don't you know that you should not see evil?"

There must be some tricks in there.

Zhou Shuxuan smiled, and there is nothing he can do if the eldest princess doesn't talk about him. These things are not his business, but he has to deal with Miaoli's affairs today, and the eldest princess can't stay here.She will definitely continue to defend Miaoli and influence his decision.

Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyebrows, and said in a lightly preaching tone: "Don't do anything wrong? Auntie, don't let a good man in the world go, and won't go to some places that shouldn't be visited. You should go to that kind of place less, be careful It's a lifetime thing to contract a messy disease. Auntie should find an uncle as soon as possible. "

The eldest princess clutched her neck tightly, and felt a little embarrassed after being told by him, "You keep talking more and more, since you are still alive, then I will go first."

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess ran away without waiting for him to speak.It's so embarrassing, why didn't she look at it before going out.

Zhou Shuxuan stretched his neck and shouted, "Auntie, why don't you leave without breakfast?"

The eldest princess ran a long way and replied to him, "It's not bad for you."

As soon as the eldest princess left, Zhou Shuxuan's expression turned cold.

Some things seem to be a little clearer. The news of his assassination has not been spread, but the eldest princess hastily ran over, so she can only get the news from the killer.

Siblings, they are really worthless in front of the throne.

But there is one more question, when did the eldest princess know about this?Did she visit the Xiaoguan Pavilion last night, or did she find King Qi?Zhou Shuxuan thought slowly in his heart.

In Ningxiang Courtyard, the nuns sent by Xu Meitang came back, and they brought back not only the handkerchief she had let go, but also a purse.

"Princess, the servants found this in the Jin Garden."

Xu Meitang took it and looked around carefully, it was just something for ordinary women, but it just worked better.

Xu Meitang asked incomprehensibly, "What's the point of this?"

"Look, princess."

The nanny took the purse and opened it slightly, revealing two small characters inside, Shu Chen.

"This..." Xu Meitang opened her mouth in surprise when she saw clearly that Shu Chen was the name of the former prince.She has not been married for a long time, and she is not very clear about the background of these people in the mansion. Could it be that that lowly maid really had an affair with someone.

Xu Meitang also vaguely heard some rumors that the Xia family had committed adultery with the former prince.If he knew that the concubine he liked had an affair with the former prince, Miao Li would definitely die without a place to bury her.

Open the purse, inside is a strand of hair.

This lowly servant girl won Zhou Shuxuan's heart without saying anything, and even played this kind of trick of marrying with other men.

Xu Meitang burst into anger, thinking that the evidence was convincing, without thinking about it, she took her purse and walked to Shendetang.

Zhou Shuxuan was eating breakfast, picked up a steamed stuffed bun and thought it was Miaoli's favorite, so he asked Wei Hai casually, "Did you bring her any breakfast?"

"Sent it early."

Wei Hai still doesn't know Zhou Shuxuan's thoughts, Miao Li still has to make a good confession before officially issuing the punishment order.

Zhou Shuxuan nodded, indicating that he knew, and didn't say anything more.

Wei Hai glanced at him, somewhat unable to understand his emotions, and asked cautiously, "How is the lord going to send the girl?"

I didn't expect Zhou Shuxuan to answer, but just probed his tone.

Zhou Shuxuan ate the steamed stuffed bun, said neither happy nor angry: "Let's have a look, let's talk about it after you have a look."

There must be some concern, but until now he hasn't said how to release Miaoli, nor has he said how to release Miaoli. Wei Hai really doesn't know what he is going to do.Seeing that he answered, he became more courageous and asked again: "My lord really believes that the girl colluded with the assassin?"

Zhou Shuxuan put down the porridge spoon, raised his head and asked, "Do you believe it?"

His tone was cautious, his expression serious, as if he was really asking for his opinion.

Wei Hai stammered a bit, "Slave...slave...you can't say for sure." He just wanted to find out Zhou Shuxuan's tone and didn't think about expressing his own opinion.

In the end, Wei Hai and Miao Li have no enmity, and they still have some ties to work together, so he can't step on Miao Li at this time, but he doesn't want to speak for Miao Li because of her previous attitude towards Zhou Shuxuan.

Zhou Shu gave him a white look, and said, "If you're not sure, don't inquire about it."

Zhou Shuxuan was drinking the porridge, still unable to make up his mind.He must be concerned about Miaoli in his heart, and sometimes he would take Miaoli with him when thinking about the future.It's not good to overdo anything, he has to control himself.Caring too much about Miao Li will make it difficult for him to control himself, so he wants Miao Li to leave.

It was the first time in Zhou Shuxuan's life that he was so entangled in being reluctant to part with others and wanting to be cruel.

At this time Xu Meitang came over angrily, and it seemed that he was looking for something, Zhou Shuxuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked calmly: "Has the princess eaten breakfast? Do you want to use some by the way?"

With such a strong murderous intent, he didn't want to deal with a silly woman in the morning, so he might as well dismiss her with breakfast.

Xu Meitang didn't take his words, and said: "I have an important matter to discuss with the lord, and I haven't had breakfast yet."

It seemed that a meal was impossible to fool around, so Zhou Shuxuan had no choice but to raise his head and ask, "What's the big deal?"

Xu Meitang handed over the purse, "My lord, let's see for myself."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at it lightly, parted his thin lips lightly, and said indifferently: "Mandarin ducks are playing in the water, and the embroidery is not bad. You have lost your mind, but this king doesn't care about these things very much."

"My lord, this thing does not belong to my concubine, my lord, look here." Xu Meitang pointed to the two small characters and said.

Zhou Shuxuan recognized those two words clearly, his eyes darkened, no one dared to have the same name and surname as the prince.There are people from the former prince in his palace, it's really hard to connect.

Zhou Shuxuan turned cold for a moment, and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Xu Meitang said forcefully, "I found this in Jinyuan!"

Zhou Shuxuan's tone recovered quite a bit, he pinched his bag and asked, "Who told you to go through her things?"

It was the blame that Xu Meitang didn't think of, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied, "I am worried that she still has something that will harm the prince, and I want to avoid future troubles."

Zhou Shuxuan threw the purse on the ground and asked sharply, "Who told you that she was going to kill me? Did you set this up?"

A few questions made Xu Meitang speechless. She thought that Miaoli was going to die this time, but she didn't expect Zhou Shuxuan to defend her like this.The first thought was not that Miao Li was harming him, but that this was a trap she had set up.Conscience of heaven and earth, this time it really wasn't her setup.

Xu Meitang knelt straight in front of Zhou Shuxuan, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and said sadly: "I don't dare, I'm only for the good of the prince."

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly thought of Mrs. Xia, that woman knelt down in front of him not long ago.It is useless for Xia to cry, it is useless to beg, he must die.After all, Xu Meitang was different from the Xia family. Zhou Shuxuan stretched out his hand and said to her, "Be more careful in doing things in the future, and I will go back."

Xu Meitang wiped away her tears, "I know, but I really found that purse in Jinyuan, and I absolutely did not lie."

Zhou Shuxuan remained indifferent, and said, "Go back."

Xu Meitang didn't dare to say more, and walked out after saluting, starting to worry about whether she could kill Miaoli successfully.It seems that Zhou Shuxuan's treatment of her is not only simple doting, but also other things.That kind of unreasonable maintenance seemed to be moved by the truth.

Xu Meitang left, Wei Hai picked up the purse and handed it back to Zhou Shuxuan.Zhou Shuxuan held his purse and looked at it for a while, the two words were correct, it was Shuchen.A difference of one word means a different result.

Zhou Shuxuan handed the things to Wei Hai and asked, "Do you think this is hers?"

Wei Hai tilted his head and looked at it for a while, "I don't know if the thing is a girl's slave, but this skill is definitely not a girl's. The slave has seen a girl doing embroidery. The skill is...too bad."

Zhou Shuxuan smiled softly, no wonder the small bags she was wearing were made so-so.Thinking about Meng Qianfan asking her to read poetry and books, he didn't care much about her female celebrity, and yes, she used to be a lady of the official family.There is no need to make things by yourself at all, some are maids and women, it is a pity that they have fallen into this situation today.

The assassin should have been sent by King Qi, and the item in his hand belonged to the former prince.Things don't seem to be as complicated as at 01:30, so I have to find someone to clarify.

There is still hair in the purse, who does she want to marry?She can only be husband and wife with him.

"Go to the woodshed."

Wei Hai pushed him out, and still asked worriedly: "My lord really doesn't trust the girl anymore? The servant thinks that the girl will never have anything to do with the former prince again." Wei Hai still felt that he should speak a fair word, Miao Li is emotionally confused, but there is nothing wrong with his work, and his loyalty to Zhou Shuxuan is also true.

Zhou Shuxuan asked rhetorically, "When did I say I don't trust her anymore? Have you been idle recently and started to interfere in my affairs?"

Wei Hai breathed a sigh of relief, closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't need him to remind him, he understood very well.It's impossible for Miaoli to have something to do with the former prince, but the things in her hands are unclear, and Xu Meitang doesn't seem to be lying just now.

It's useless to guess here. Seeing that I have already arrived at the woodshed, I will know after asking.
