The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 154 Two in One
The two looked at the source of the sound at the same time.

I saw under the Zhicai window on the opposite side, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared there at some unknown time, his face was as black as coal, his teeth were clenched and his face was full of hostility.

Xie Tinglan was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses, stood up and said, "When did you come? Why don't you go through the front door."

Fu Pingye said: "I came in a hurry, there is no post."

With his hands on the window sill, he leaped into the room and landed silently.

Fu Pingye glared at the embarrassed Fang Jingyu unkindly, then walked to Xie Tinglan's side and said, "Gu explained to him many times before, but he couldn't listen to it at all, so Gu let Lin Dong look at him instead of letting him Come here to bother you."

Fu Pingye paused, and raised his voice slightly: "Rin Dong can testify for Gu, Fang Jingyu was just slandering Gu!"

Fu Pingye's thin lips were tightly pursed, and nothing could be seen on his face, but Xie Tinglan, who was familiar with him, knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was a little nervous at the moment.

Xie Tinglan could naturally guess why he was nervous.

She smiled and said, "I know, Your Highness has considered it carefully. It's not your Highness's fault that he refused to listen."

Fu Pingye exhaled invisibly, cast a sideways glance at Fang Jingyu and said, "What are you doing still in a daze, go back with Lin Dong and be honest."

Fang Jingyu knew she was in the wrong, stood up blushing, apologized, and rushed out the door.

Fu Pingye looked at Fang Jingyu's leaving back, half-squinted eyes with imperceptible darkness.

This person is really troublesome, if it wasn't for Xie Tinglan, even if Fang Jingyu helped him, he would definitely get rid of him just because of his restless and annoying temperament.

After Fang Jingyu left the inner courtyard, Xie Tinglan looked back at Fu Pingye.

"Your Highness has lost some weight in the past few days."

Xie Tinglan tilted his head and looked at Fu Pingye and said.

The thoughts in Fu Pingye's mind were instantly emptied, and he hesitated for a moment to explain: "These days are too busy..."

"Then you can't forget to eat and sleep. What if you hurt your body?"

Xie Tinglan blurted out, then was stunned, the two looked at each other for a moment, then avoided them unnaturally.

Xie Tinglan touched the tip of his nose, touched his face with the movement of brushing his hair, and found that it was hot.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help smiling, raised her eyes to look at Fu Pingye who was still in a daze, and said softly, "If I say that, will His Highness think I'm offended?"

Fu Pingye shook his head quickly, he curled his mouth and said with a smile: "We are husband and wife, you can take care of Gu. Gu will treat you well, just like a father treats his mother and concubine."

Fu Pingye paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly as if he was thinking about something, and changed his words after a while: "No, I will treat you better."

Xie Tinglan smiled without saying a word.

She didn't ask Fu Pingye to treat her like Emperor Yongchang treated his imperial concubine, after all, the two couples were not in the same situation.

Emperor Yongchang and Concubine Huanggui really love each other, but the two of them are just cooperating with each other.

Xie Tinglan thought that as long as they respected each other as guests, it would be fine, but if they were really like Emperor Yongchang and the imperial concubine, Xie Tinglan would feel a headache instead.

But at the moment, she naturally wouldn't say these words, and she didn't take Fu Pingye's words to heart.

A man's heart will always change, just like Fu Min, when Xie Luoyao was not reborn, they should also support each other when they became empresses.

But once the variable Xie Luoyao appeared, she would become what she was in her previous life.

Fu Pingye stayed and had lunch with Xie Tinglan before getting up to leave.

Yuxiu took over the task of sending people away, and managed to hold on till she sent away the great god Fu Pingye. She was so frightened that her back was still wet.

While clearing the table, she asked Xie Tinglan, "Why did Your Highness come here suddenly today? This servant was not prepared at all, so I was taken aback."

Xie Tinglan took a sip of water and said, "He came here in a hurry when he knew that Fang Jingyu had come to find me. He said that he would focus on dealing with King Qi's affairs in the next few days, and he might not have time to come here until the matter was resolved, so he stayed with him. I left after lunch."

Yuxiu wiped the table and said with a smile: "It seems His Highness still values ​​Miss very much. It's great, Miss can marry Mr. Ruyi, and grow old with His Highness, this servant will be happy!"

Before that, she had been worried that with Wei Shi's eccentricity, he would marry the young lady to a bad family.

After all, it was fate that made the lady and His Royal Highness come together.

The young lady has a gentle temperament. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is violent to the outside world, he never blushes towards the young lady. The two must be a destined couple and will last for a long time.

"I hope His Highness can quickly resolve King Qi's matter."

...

...

Royal Palace
As night fell, palace lanterns were lit under the eaves in front of Zhengyang Palace.

Under the stone steps in front of the hall, a figure was kneeling on the brick floor, his body was bent, and his whole body was crumbling.

The little eunuch standing in front of the hall couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly entered the hall through the side door.

"Master...Master..."

Eunuch Zhao turned his head and saw his apprentice calling him softly not far away.

Eunuch Zhao's face drooped, he stepped forward and lifted him out of the hall, slapping him on the head.

"Don't die! You were asked to stand at the door, what are you doing in here? If you disturb the emperor, see if you can save your little life!"

Emperor Yongchang was not a tyrant, but he was always in a bad mood these days because of King Qi.

Eunuch Zhao was afraid that his apprentice would be stunned by his stupidity, so he said this to scare him.

The little apprentice said with a bitter face: "I know Master, but Concubine Jiang has been kneeling in front of the palace gate for a whole day. I just saw people fainting, so I was afraid that something might happen—"

Eunuch Zhao was startled, he signaled his apprentice to shut up, leaned out quietly and glanced at the palace gate.

Seeing that Concubine Jiang was indeed as disciple said, she was about to lose her strength, and Eunuch Zhao couldn't help frowning.

"What should I do, master, do you want to report to the emperor?"

"The emperor also said not to interfere. But if the empress really faints in front of the palace, the emperor will probably feel even more unhappy."

Although Concubine Jiang came to the imperial court to intercede with King Qi because of her mother's heart, but the emperor did not agree with her approach.

Eunuch Zhao gritted his teeth and told his apprentice to hide here, and he stepped over.

"Niangniang, Niangniang..."

Jiang Xu raised his head in a daze, and blinked several times before he could see who the person in front of him was.

She opened her chapped lips and said hoarsely, "Eunuch Zhao... Your Majesty, is your Majesty willing to see me?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is still reviewing the papers right now. Besides, the Emperor ordered me not to see you. Listen to what the old servant said, and go back quickly. If the Emperor comes out to see you later, he will definitely be angry. You This confinement has just been lifted, don't..."

Eunuch Zhao said a lot of earnest words, but Jiang Xu didn't listen.

She said blankly: "The emperor is reviewing the paper... what kind of paper is it? Is it the paper that Shangzuo dealt with King Qi?"

"Your Majesty thinks highly of this slave, how could this slave know."

"Eunuch, I beg you, please tell me again, let the emperor see me!"

Jiang Xu humbled and tugged on Eunuch Zhao's sleeve. This was the first time Eunuch Zhao had seen him like this.

But he didn't soften his heart, he pulled out his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, go back. The slave will let you help your Majesty back to the palace."

"No... I won't leave..."

Jiang Xu went to pull Eunuch Zhao's sleeve again, and the imperial guards beside him saw that Eunuch Zhao was difficult to get away, so they walked up with a knife.

When a conflict almost occurred, a person walked not far away.

"What are you doing, don't let go."

The imperial concubine came from a distance, only saw a group of people gathered together, she didn't know what happened, she only saw Jiang Xu when she got close.

"Concubine Jiang, what are you doing here so late?"

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Nanyu fiercely.

Gu Nanyu didn't have time to beat the dog in the water, seeing Jiang Xu hating her so much, he just found it funny.

"If you kneel here and intend to intercede with King Qi, then don't waste your time. If you don't bother, maybe the emperor can save King Qi's life, but if you do this, the emperor will look down on you, so don't be annoyed Your Majesty, you have lost King Qi's life."

"you shut up!"

Aunt Fang stepped forward and slapped Jiang Xu.

"Offending the imperial concubine, what should I do!"

With this slap, Jiang Xu coughed badly. After all, she had persisted in this behavior for several days, and her body collapsed a lot.

Gu Nanyu had someone drag her down, turned around and walked into the hall.

Avoiding people, Aunt Fang approached Gu Nanyu, and said softly: "Just now Jiang Xu looked at the eyes of the empress, so frightening. The servant is worried that she will lose her mind and do something that is not good for the empress."

"Isn't it rare for her to attack us? Soldiers come to cover up the water. Her son is the most important thing now. Even if she hates me, she will only run around for her son before King Qi's punishment, and has no time to devote her thoughts. against us."

Aunt Fang thought for a while, then nodded, "Your Majesty is right. Speaking of King Qi, the Emperor hasn't issued an ultimatum yet. Will there be any changes?"

"I know Brother Nine's temper. If it weren't for the Duke's Mansion, King Qi would have been killed on the day he was exposed."

A killing intent appeared in Gu Nanyu's gentle eyes.

Gu Nanyu and Fu Weichen became murderous when they knew that Fu Rong was going to blame Fu Pingye for the land enclosure case.

It's a pity that even the most honorable people in this world can't do whatever they want.

It's not easy for Brother Jiu to secure his throne, and the world has only been peaceful for a while.

Gu Nanyu doesn't want to make the people suffer because of her own selfishness.

So it doesn't matter if King Qi is spared, and when the British government is settled, this family will be uprooted and ambitious.

On the other side, Jiang Xu fainted on the way back to Qixiang Palace.

Eunuch Zhao helped her find an imperial doctor for treatment, and she woke up after a few injections.

The imperial physician left the medicine behind so that he could leave, Jiang Xu took a dose of the medicine, and his complexion improved a lot.

Mother Tang, who was feeding her medicine, couldn't help shedding tears when she saw her haggard appearance.

"Your Majesty, otherwise... let's not go. You have been kneeling for a few days, and you haven't even seen the emperor, and you are sick, this..."

"No, what will Rong'er do if you don't go!" Jiang Xu gritted her teeth tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She wiped away the tears from her face, "Rong'er is still locked up in the clan's mansion, if this palace fails to persuade the emperor to release Rong'er before the emperor's decree, then Rong'er will die if he refuses!"

"I won't, my lord. After all, the emperor will take care of your lord's face. Besides, the prince is the emperor's own son, and the emperor will not kill him!"

"Of course the emperor is reluctant!" Jiang Xu gritted his teeth, with a hideous appearance, "But with that bitch Gu Nanyu at the side, it's not necessarily true! The reason why Rong'er became like this is because of the prince! Because Rong'er is the best candidate to replace the prince. Candidates, so the crown prince and Gu Nanyu plotted against Ronger secretly!"

Jiang Xu took several breaths to suppress the resentment in his heart.

"Tomorrow, I have to go to the Japanese palace. I have been in love with the emperor for more than ten years, and the emperor will not be so hard-hearted!"

Tang Nanny didn't dare to pierce Jiang Xu's self-confidence. In order to save Fu Rong, Jiang Xu was really dazed.

If this goes on like this, I am afraid that Jiang Xu will kill himself before King Qi is dead.

She is not that important in the emperor's heart.

Mammy Tang hurriedly tried to persuade Jiang Xu to calm down a bit after exhausting her words.

After putting the person to sleep, Madam Tang quietly returned to her own residence.

In the middle of the night, she slipped to the side of the moat in the palace, wearing a night suit, and dropped a bamboo tube.

Seeing the bamboo tube floating out of the city, she returned to Qixiang Palace.

Inside the British government

The British official held the secret letter with an ugly expression.

His hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and when he finished reading the letter, it was already crumpled.

After a while, the British gentleman came to a courtyard in the back house holding the letter.

The person at the door saluted, and the British Duke asked, "Has father rested yet?"

"The old lady is waiting for you in the study."

The British Guild agreed and walked towards the study.

After entering the room and closing the door, an old voice sounded from behind the screen.

"coming."

The British Duke walked into the inner room and bowed his hands, "Father."

The old British man was sitting behind the desk, holding walnuts in his hand, with a solemn expression.

He raised his chin and motioned for the British Duke, "Sit."

The British Duke sat down opposite him, and handed over the letter in his hand, "It's from the person next to Xu'er, take a look."

"No need." The old British Duke pushed the letter aside, "I know exactly what the child will do now that he loves the king so much."

"If she does this, sooner or later she will kill herself, and even the entire Jiang family."

The British Duke had a complicated expression on his face. He clenched his fists and said, "Xu'er has never experienced such a thing, and it's normal to be impulsive and reckless. Besides, Rong'er is her only spiritual support, she..."

The old British man raised his hand to signal his son to shut up, and he said slowly, "I know you don't want Xu'er."

"But she is useless to the Jiang family now. I told you a long time ago that Jiang Xu can't teach King Qi, let alone help King Qi. It will only hinder him. But you don't listen. Now it is in front of us There are only two ways. Either you keep Jiang Xu, and there is a [-]% chance that the whole family will die. Or you can give up this daughter and still have a chance."

The British public cannot be chosen.

The two had discussed before how to save Fu Rong.

Before the result came out, they had no way to bet on the emperor's will, and the emperor had long intended to eradicate the Duke's Mansion, and it was very likely that he would kill Fu Rong by doing so, completely eliminating their disobedience.

The Englishman couldn't let his grandson die, and the old Englishman gave him a way.

That is to force Jiang Xu to death and exchange Fu Rong's life with her life.

This will not only get rid of a trash, but perhaps also stimulate Fu Rong's temperament and make him more motivated.

But no matter the grandson or the daughter, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, how could the British Duke choose them.
