concubines

Chapter 16 Preemptive Strike
Miao Li was slightly surprised, Zhou Shuxuan hated Xia Shi's hair, and it was very likely that he was the enemy who broke his leg, yet he actually said that he didn't want to kill her.

Miao Li thought about the reason in her heart, and there was only one possibility for Zha Zha Zan Xuan.

"My lord wants the Xia clan to make gunpowder?"

A gleam of surprise flashed in Zhou Shuxuan's eyes. He raised a bunch of staff, and all of them had their own merits.But in terms of trying to figure out his mind, no one can match her.

"Yes, the power of gunpowder is obvious to all in front of the two armies. But the gunpowder is not stable now, and it often hurts our soldiers. If Xia Clan really has the talent in this field..." It is not impossible to spare her life.

If he wants to be an emperor in the future, he has to think about marching and fighting.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuxuan clenched his fists.That vicious woman broke his legs, even if she was allowed to live, she would make her life worse than death.

At this time, those who went to see the gunpowder dug up in Xia's courtyard came back.

"Back to the prince, the villains have checked repeatedly, and the gunpowder in the princess's courtyard is indeed ignited when thrown, and I haven't seen it anywhere else."

After all, I handed over another thing.Miao Li looks very familiar, as if Xia Lerou threw her the firecracker back then.

Peeling off the outer paper, some small black particles were scattered outside, exactly the same as the ones she picked up at the horse farm that day.

In this way, without any more evidence, Xia's murder of Zhou Shuxuan is a certainty, and Zhou Shuxuan, who just wanted to spare Xia's life, has red eyes at this moment.He punched the table hard, and swept the things at hand to the ground.In an instant, everything within Zhou Shuxuan's reach suffered disaster.

Vicious woman!

Eating his, using his, his wife in name actually colluded with outsiders to murder him, ruining all his future.Now he can't wait to peel Xia's skin, eat her flesh, and tear her into pieces.

Miao Li winked, let the person kneeling on the ground go out, and squatted down to pick up the things Zhou Shuxuan pushed on the ground.

The more Zhou Shuxuan thought about it, the more angry he was, the veins on the back of his clenched fists bulged, and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. It took him a long time to grit his teeth and say, "Get up, change clothes for me!"

The second watch drum had already been played on the woodcutter building, and it was late at night, so if he wanted to change his clothes now, he must be going to the palace.

Not only did Miao Li not get up, but she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "My lord must not. The year is getting closer and closer, and the crown prince has not yet filled the vacancy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Households. The emperor Longyan is furious. The lord is going to Talking about the Xia Clan may not achieve the desired effect, but may also anger the emperor, it is better to wait until the next year."

A little bit by her words, Zhou Shuxuan calmed down a little.

It was because his eyes were reddened by hatred that he didn't think about it that much.

Zhou Shuxuan calmed down, but the brightly lit Xia Mansion was not so calm.Xia's father lit the lamps and fought all night, racking his brains and finally came up with an idea to strike first.

While the swelling on Xia's face hadn't disappeared, she went to the emperor to sue Zhou Shuxuan.Zhou Shuxuan may not dare to speak out about the past, after all, those facts are not on the table.The emperor is eccentric again, Zhou Shuxuan may not have obtained conclusive evidence in such a short period of time.

Moreover, he heard that Zhou Shuxuan forced out the current affairs of the household department. If the prince did not do a good job, the emperor would inevitably blame Zhou Shuxuan, just right.Anyway, if you open your mouth, you can say anything. Instead of waiting until Zhou Shuxuan goes to sue the imperial court to divorce his wife, it is better for them to take the initiative.

It is really helpless to tear the face off with Zhou Shuxuan completely. He is more optimistic about Zhou Shuxuan than his ability and virtue. As long as the emperor does not die for a day, Zhou Shuxuan will have a chance.

But his daughter is really confused!

Things have come to this point, he has no chance to stand in line, he can only try his best to keep the entire Xia family.Fight to the death, maybe there is still a little chance of survival.

Father Xia glanced out the window, the black cloth covering the sky seemed to have been lifted by someone, revealing a faint light, it was almost dawn.

He put on his official uniform in front of the bronze mirror, and when he put on the hat, he found that his sideburns had grown a lot of white hair overnight.He is quite old, and he has to pay off his children's debts.

Xia's father and Xia's family talked about their plans, but Xia's family has no idea now.But Father Xia said that going to the palace to file a complaint might save her position as princess, so he agreed.As long as she is by Zhou Shuxuan's side for a day, she can still help that person a little.

After the quarrel yesterday, the atmosphere between the two is still very heavy.In addition, the Xia family always felt that Xia's father forced her to marry Zhou Shuxuan for the sake of glory and wealth, otherwise she would not be here today.So from leaving the mansion to getting on the sedan chair, neither of them said a word.

Zhidao's sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace. Father Xia got off the sedan chair and looked up at the tall palace gate. I have entered and exited this palace gate hundreds of times, but this is the first time my daughter has done something wrong for me."

When Xia heard this, he burst into tears, and only now did he realize that he had misunderstood Father Xia for so many years.She had caused such a disaster, and in the end, only her father could control her.Xia family cried and knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Father Xia.

However, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.One of the worst things she did, she just fell in love with someone who got it.

Father Xia stretched out his hand to help her, and said with a little sobs: "Princess, please get up."

Looking back at those years, he shouldn't have asked her to marry some prince for the sake of status and wealth. Back then, it was better for her to marry an ordinary person.Although there is no glory and wealth, at least it will not cause such a big disaster.

The two parted at the gate of the palace. The Xia family was a female family member and could not meet the emperor directly.Zhou Shuxuan's mother and concubine are no longer alive, Xia can only go to her aunt, the imperial concubine in the palace.Concubine De has been in the palace for many years and is highly respected by the emperor.

After a few steps, they arrived at Yuqing Palace, Xia family kowtowed respectfully, buried his head and did not lift it up, pretending to be particularly aggrieved.

She hadn't entered the palace for a long time, Concubine De really missed her a bit.Come over and help her, "Get up quickly, the family doesn't have such big rules, let aunt see, why do I feel like you have gained weight?"

Xia Shi raised her head slowly, she didn't put on any makeup today, her face was a shocking bruise.Where is gaining weight, it is because yesterday's swelling has not subsided.
