concubines

Chapter 15
Miao Li knelt on the ground straight again, "Please tell the prince what the servant did wrong, and please don't shut the door."

It's nothing serious, but Zhou Shuxuan just didn't explain, and he called out loudly, "Wei Hai."

There was finally movement inside, Wei Hai didn't wait for a moment, pushed the door open, and said, "My lord."

"Let people put away the things that are beyond the limit, and leave the rest as they are. I'm tired, so I push me back."

From the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at Miaoli, she knelt as long as she liked, anyway, she was very good at kneeling.

People have been walking for a long time before Miaoli got up from the ground.It seems that Zhou Shuxuan doesn't want to talk to her anymore, this is even more difficult than the group of women in the concubine courtyard.Back to the courtyard with his cold knees, Zhou Shuxuan was sitting at the door, as if he was watching the snow, and the door was closed before she saluted.

The cold wind of these three or nine days seemed to blow into her heart, and Miao Li doubted whether she had made the right choice at the beginning.

On the other side of the capital, Xia's father dragged Xia's into the mansion.The atmosphere in the Xia Mansion became more subtle, a majestic princess became like this, with a few palm marks looming on her face, she looked like a crazy woman who had just returned from a fight.

A trace of disgust appeared on Mrs. Xia's always kind face, and she used to say bitterly, "How can you still look like a lady?"

Xia Shi stroked the hair around her ears, and smiled miserably.She could even give up her life today, so what image did she care about.

Xia Lerou, who was standing behind Mrs. Xia, felt a little guilty when she saw her like this, and said timidly: "Sister, did I treat you like this by scaring that vixen lord with a firecracker?"

Xia Shi was still angry at her for sneaking away, but after hearing what she said, she was about to go crazy, and rushed to grab her shoulder, "What firecrackers? Didn't I tell you not to come out of the courtyard to play?"

Still to Miao Li, that woman is Zhou Shuxuan's new favorite, and when she sees something fresh, she is likely to go back and talk to Zhou Shuxuan.As soon as Zhou Shuxuan knew about it, some things couldn't be covered.

Xia Lerou was frightened, and said timidly: "Sister, I am helping my sister to avenge her. Didn't my sister say that Prince Qin has a new favorite recently? I just used firecrackers to scare her."

Xia Shi said that King Qin's new favorite was outstanding in appearance, she knew it was Miao Li when she saw it, Xia Lerou was the worst woman to see than her, she said it was revenge for Xia Shi, but more because of her imbalance in her heart.

Xia felt something was wrong, Zhou Shuxuan's attitude today was really strange, he only spoke sarcasticly to her in the past, but he still gave her some face.He was almost going to kill her today. Could it be that he guessed about the gunpowder?

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she felt, cold sweat broke out on Xia's back, and she slapped her big mouth hard, hitting Xia Lerou and fell to the ground.

"I want you to help me fight for favor? Do you know that you killed me?" She didn't care who Zhou Shuxuan favored at all, as long as the position of Princess Zhou Shuxuan was enough.

Mrs. Xia held Xia Lerou in her arms from the bottom of her heart, her face was stained with anger. How could she teach such a daughter because she has been well educated all her life.

"Rou'er is still young, why are you beating her? She is also doing it for your own good."

The Xia family looked like a madman, and smiled to the sky a few times, "For my own good, she is going to kill me." If Zhou Shuxuan really knew, with his ruthlessness today, I am afraid that the Xia family will also be implicated.

Mrs. Xia hated her crazy look even more, she blindly protected her little daughter, "She's just a child, isn't she just a few firecrackers? How much trouble can she cause?"

Xia looked around at the people in the room, with an abnormal smile on his face, "It's not a big disaster, it's just that the entire Xia family will be buried with me."

Unexpectedly, there would be such a big disaster. Before going out, Father Xia also thought that his wife and concubine were fighting for favor, so he was humiliated by Zhou Shuxuan like that, and he was still regretting that he should not take care of the back house. up.At least knowing Zhou Shuxuan's attitude, Father Xia was also afraid.

Although his leg was broken and he had no hope of inheriting the throne, he was still a prince, and he was a prince with a lot of means.

Father Xia waved Mrs. Xia and Xia Lerou to go out, only the father and daughter were left in the room, and asked Xia Shi with a gloomy face: "What's going on?"

Xia Shi sat on a chair beside her, staring blankly at the front, as if the time had returned to three months ago.

That day she went to the Great Buddha Temple to burn incense and met that person again.For three years, they had no other contact except seeing him once in a while at palace banquets.

I thought that the man thought of her as a flash in the face, after all, when the man saw her, he didn't even give her a single extra look.Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, when the Buddhist courtyard was silent, that person knocked on the door of her meditation room.

He said that Zhou Shuxuan was too popular and might take his place.

Just one sentence is enough to make her go through fire and water for it, even if he didn't promise her anything.

In the Buddhist temple, she came up with a strategy that she thought she could hide from the world.After three months of trial and error, she finally produced gunpowder that could explode without ignition, and then handed it over to the man.

She never thought about the day when something would be revealed. Now that death is almost in front of her eyes, she doesn't regret it.

Father Xia heard her explain the reason, just like she did just now, he raised his hand and gave her a big mouth, trembling with anger, "You put the whole family in dire straits, have you ever thought about your parents, siblings before you do things?" ?”

Murdering the prince is a serious crime against the nine clans.

Mrs. Xia covered her face, looked up at Father Xia with tears in her eyes, "Father didn't think about his daughter when he did things back then, so why should he ask his daughter to think about his father?"

Zhou Shu declared that it was she who shamelessly asked the emperor for the imperial decree of marriage, that she had been wronged, and that it was father Xia who asked the emperor for the imperial decree of marriage.

At that time, the man's first wife had already been decided, not her.Xia's father saw that she wanted to lower her status to be a minor to that person, so she asked the emperor for a marriage decree to marry her to Zhou Shuxuan as the princess.

What good will happen to the reluctant marriage between the two parties?She didn't know why Zhou Shuxuan hated her so much before, but only now did she understand that he always knew who she had in mind.

Father Xia was anxious, and shouted at her regardless of his appearance, "Did being a father harm you back then? He is also a prince, and the King of Qin is no worse than that person. It is impossible to leave the main wife as a concubine. If you want to be the mother of the country Your honor, King Qin, who did not break his leg that day, has even greater hopes."

Back then, he was also confused for a moment, thinking that he had climbed a high branch and let that person do whatever he wanted.Who would have thought that someone would get bored after only three or two days of work, and marry someone else's daughter in a blink of an eye.

Xia cried and laughed, covered his face and said: "No matter how good King Qin is, he is just an ordinary man in the world, how can he be as good as a piece of his sleeve?"

She didn't want to be the mother of the queen, as long as she had a place by that person's side, that was enough.

Xia's father was even more annoyed when he saw her stupid and stupid appearance. Now that the entire Xia family is in danger, who has the time to care about her children's affection.After all, it was his own daughter, and she was beaten, he couldn't do anything else, he just gave her a hard look, and walked away.

The Xia family's side is flying like dogs and dogs, and the Prince Qin's mansion is not at peace.

Zhou Shuxuan found a few gunpowder experts among his staff to look at the things dug up in the Xia Family Courtyard. If he really wants to convict someone, he must have convincing evidence.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to see Miaoli, and Miaoli was fidgeting in the room.Zhou Shuxuan doesn't want to see her at all now that he wants to meet her, and he will definitely not help her if he succeeds in his daily affairs.

But the two times of seeing each other left her confused and unable to deal with it.Walking around in the house, I suddenly saw a small box on the shelf.It was the incense that Xia asked her to bring to Zhou Shuxuan when she met Xia Shi for the first time.She forgot for a while and didn't tell Zhou Shuxuan.Maybe take this to him.

Excitedly arrived at the door of the study, but couldn't move any further.Now Zhou Shuxuan is angry with Xia Shi, and she will go to him with Xia Shi's things, Zhou Shuxuan will be even more angry.

The people inside found her, and Zhou Shuxuan's deep voice came, "Come in."

Miao Li happily pushed the door open, as long as she was willing to talk, everything would be fine.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't see her rare smile, and his attention was all on the ancient books.He read many books, but he didn't see any gunpowder that can be ignited without lighting, but Xia's has it.

He asked people to search Xia's house again, and found countless gunpowder inside, and there were really firecrackers that Miao Li said could explode when thrown.But... How did Xia's female class come about?

There was no order for her to come in, just frowning, Miao Li stood up from the ground and asked boldly, "What is the prince thinking?"

As if nothing happened in the afternoon, Zhou Shuxuan replied naturally, "I am thinking about how the Xia family made these things."

I'm afraid I can only ask Xia Shi.

"My lord doesn't need to care about how she made it, those things found out are enough to divorce the princess." It even made Xia's whole family beheaded.Those things are not available anywhere else, only the Xia family has them.Even if there is no crime, some crimes can be added, not to mention the evidence is solid.

Zhou Shuxuan closed the book, rubbed his temples, sighed and said, "This king knows."

"Then why is the prince like this?"

Zhou Shuxuan said firmly, "I don't want to kill her anymore!"
