A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 13 Lied by a Woman
Mu Wuxia was startled, opened her mouth to refute, but seemed to think of something, and lowered her head to think seriously.

Seeing his reaction, Tao Huaxin also understood that he probably guessed something, so he continued: "Your previous doubts were not wrong, because of Prime Minister Shen's pressure, I lied to you. The marriage was indeed deliberately disturbed by Prime Minister Shen. , married me by force, so that you can get the emperor's compensation. King Jing is reprimanded by the emperor, so you don't have to marry me, a powerless consort princess, because you can kill multiple birds with one stone."

"Afterwards, you will definitely be ridiculed by many people because of the fact that I was accepted as a wife by the prime minister. The prime minister is afraid that you will have a rift with him, and in order to save you from being criticized, he wants to kill you in the name of King Jing today. In this way, you won't have any loss, and the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't even need to hang a white flag, but it's King Jing who suffers."

"I never thought that Prime Minister Shen would use our marriage to carry out such a sophisticated plan from beginning to end, and I never thought that I, an innocent person, would become a sacrifice for the Lord Xiang to help you!"

Looking up at Mu Wuxia, tears flowed from Tao Hua's eyes: "Don't you think that I am innocent?"

Mu Wuxia frowned tightly, and clenched her fists: "Of course you are innocent, the affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty have nothing to do with you!"

After a pause, he asked again: "So your injury was also caused by Shen Zaiye?"

"Yes." Taohua pursed her lips, lowered her head and gently stroked her sleeves: "Today, the prime minister pretended to let me go to the appointment at King Jing's North Gate Pavilion, but ambushed killers halfway to take my life. The servant escorted me to escape, but in this great Wei, Prime Minister Shen covers the sky with one hand, where is my place? I was also in a hurry, so I took the liberty to bother the prince."

"I don't think the prince is someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately and climbs up by stepping on other people's corpses, so I beg the prince to save my life!"

Jiang Taohua's guess is probably correct, and no one has ever discovered the relationship between Shen Zaiye and Nan Wang. Hearing what she said, Nan Wang naturally believed more than half of it first. In the next half of the day, when she saw the serious injury on her body, it was almost the same.

"Shen Zaiye is indeed the biggest liar in the world!" Mu Wuxia was angry and angry: "What should I do to save your life?"

"It's very simple." Taohua looked at him seriously: "As long as the lord and the prime minister make it clear that you already know his plan and tell him not to endanger my life, otherwise you will no longer trust him. I have an extraordinary position in my heart, if I say this, Xiangye will definitely not touch me again."

"I understand." Nodding solemnly, the little prince stood up and said, "Now I'm going to find a doctor for you, and I'll invite the Prime Minister to talk to you by the way!"

Jiang Taohua was overjoyed, but it didn't take long before the look on her face turned into worry: "Do you want to invite Mr. Xiang over?"

"Naturally." Mu Wuxia said: "If he doesn't come, how can I confront him?"

"Confrontation is necessary, but..." Tao Hua pursed her lips, glanced at Nan Wang, and whispered, "You have to be more careful."

"how?"

"The Prime Minister is eloquent and has a high position and authority. If I think about it, he will put all the charges on me, saying that I wronged him and deliberately framed him." Master's ability to turn black and white, he might even say that he didn't send someone to assassinate me today, and I did this injury myself."

Mu Wuxia frowned: "It's ridiculous, who can hit me so hard? His clever tongue has lied to me many times, this time I will definitely not believe it again."

"Thank you, my lord." Jiang Taohua looked at him gratefully: "My lord is willing to help me this time, in the future, Taohua will definitely repay me!"

Waving his hand, Mu Wuxia said nonchalantly: "You don't need to repay anything, this is a matter of principle for this king, and I have to thank you for giving me evidence, otherwise, there is really nothing I can do about that liar!"

After all, he flicked his clothes and rushed out.

What a good boy with a heart of justice!Taohua felt that she might be a villain and had seen too many people. Every time she saw such a fool, she felt a little distressed, too innocent.

It would be nice if such a person could live a simple life.

North Gate Pavilion.

Shen Zaiye dealt with King Jing calmly for a while, then he said he was unwell and was going back home.

Today is the meeting between the two of them, but Shen Zaiye originally planned to replace Jiang Taohua in the past. When the big event is completed, he will say that he is sick and Taohua will go without authorization.

But it's a pity that the major event has not been accomplished, so he can only listen to what King Jing said for a long time, and then rush back to the mansion to see the situation.

"Master." Zhan Lu came over with a frown and said, "The mansion has checked, and there are two dowry guards for Mrs. Jiang missing."

After stopping his steps, Shen Zaiye was silent, his face a little ugly.

"There is another news." Zhan Lu bowed his head and said: "There is news from the Nanwang Mansion, the little prince invites you to come to the mansion to tell."

Slowly closing his eyes, Shen Zaiye raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"It's been a long time since I met such a powerful woman." He whispered, "So much so that I mistook a fox for a rabbit."

From the very beginning, he felt that something was wrong, and it really was because of Jiang Taohua. This woman had discovered his intentions early in the morning, and she was dismantling his tricks and ruining his business step by step.And he, he just reacted now!

What's sick, what's stupid, she's afraid she's been singing big plays to him, but he still believes it!

absurd!

"Go to Nanwang's Mansion!" Gritting his teeth and sipping a low voice, Shen Zaiye got on his horse, his usually indifferent face couldn't hold back a layer of anger.

Ginger peach blossom, what a ginger peach blossom!He had calculated others for many years, but he capsized in the gutter and was tricked by a woman!If you don't kill her, how can you calm down the hatred in your heart? !
"Drive!" Riding his horse and galloping wildly, Shen Zaiye's face was tense all the way, and Zhan Lu behind him almost couldn't keep up.

Arriving at the main courtyard of the palace, before Zhan Lu had time to say anything, he saw a sword stabbing towards his master.

Shen Zaiya paused, his body reacted before his brain, he dodged a side somersault, and grabbed the hilt of his sword with his backhand.

Mu Wuxia was in a fit of anger, and kicked with a cross leg, with such force that he had to let go of the hilt of his sword, and took two blows from him.

The sword is not sharpened, so it can't hurt anyone, but it still hurts a little bit.Seeing the person wielding the sword clearly, Zhan Lu did not dare to step forward to protect the Lord, but could only watch anxiously.

Well done, how could Nan Wang get so angry?
While dodging, Shen Zaiye calmed down first, pinched the blade of the sword in the last move, and said with a chuckle: "The prince's swordsmanship has improved a lot."

Mu Wuxia pursed her lips, drew back the sword, looked at him and said, "This is the Zhanning sword, you taught me."

Beheading the sycophants, beheading all the sycophants in the world.

Glancing around, Shen Zaiye squinted his eyes and said, "My lord thinks this humble minister is a traitor?"

Mu Wuxia frowned, stood upright, and his brows were full of righteousness: "You said it. Loyal ministers don't bully their masters and children, don't go against their ideas, and don't obey others. But what about you?"

My heart was full of confusion, Shen Zaiye looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong with Wei Chen?"

"This king knows that you are not a person who has hard-earned evidence in front of you, so you won't admit your mistake if you kill him!" Nan Wang was angry, and his eyebrows were about to stand upside down: "When will you be willing to tell the truth to this king? You This king already knows about killing Princess Zhao and blaming King Jing!"

Shen Zaiye nodded, glanced at the closed door behind him, and said calmly: "It must be that Mrs. Jiang came to the Nanwang Mansion and sued the minister."

"Shouldn't she sue?" Mu Wuxia stared at the person in front of him: "What did you promise me before? What are you doing now? Jiang is just a weak girl who has no grievances or enmity with us. Why are you like this? Do you not take human life seriously?"

He admitted that she was female, but is Jiang Taohua weak?With a sneer in his heart, Shen's expression on the wild face was extraordinarily frank: "Weichen thinks that Jiang may have misunderstood something, and he is a little too sensitive. I never meant to harm her."

"Misunderstanding?" Mu Wuxia's complexion became even uglier, she gritted her teeth, and instead of arguing in a hurry, she crossed her arms and asked, "What misunderstanding?"

"It's only been a few days since your marriage with Mrs. Jiang went wrong. Mrs. Jiang has been in a state of panic in the prime minister's mansion these days, and even fell ill. It's hard to avoid thinking too much." Shen Zaye smiled and said calmly: " Weichen doesn't know why she thinks that Weichen is going to kill her to blame King Jing, today Jiang's carriage got into an accident on the way, Weichen is still very worried, looking for her everywhere."

"Oh?" The little prince raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you didn't send a killer to assassinate Jiang Shi today, and you caused her injuries yourself?"

Slightly taken aback, Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is Mrs. Jiang injured?"

"Well, it's a serious injury, with blood all over the body." The little prince said: "The person who came here must have done something cruel."

If he hadn't checked the situation of the guards in the mansion, Shen Zaiye might believe that Jiang Taohua was assassinated today.However, her own people escaped with her, and could she be seriously injured?If she didn't do this injury herself, the plaque of his Shen residence would be used as firewood!
"My lord." Sighing, he said in a deep voice: "You are not deeply involved in the world, and you have a pure heart. You probably haven't seen many cunning and treacherous people who are full of lies. You are easily deceived. I have never sent anyone to assassinate Jiang. How the injury on her body came about, maybe only she knows."

Sure enough, Jiang Taohua got it right, look at how well she shirks responsibility, that's a clean one.

Mu Wuxia sneered, took half a step back, looked at him and said, "Could Prime Minister Shen tell this king why Mrs. Jiang left the mansion today?"

"Today..." Shen Zaiye smiled: "Ms. Jiang is bored in the mansion and wants to go out for a walk by herself."

"Oh?" With a cold look on his face, Mu Wuxia took another half step back: "How did I hear that she is going to the North Gate Pavilion to meet King Jing?"

"Your Highness is joking." Shen Zaiye said: "Jiang Shi has already entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, why would he still go to see King Jing?"

The little prince fell silent, and looked at him deeply.

Shen Zaiye's face was calm and upright, he didn't seem to be lying at all.

However, not long after the words fell, someone ran over with small steps, half-kneeled in front of Mu Wuxia and said, "Reporting to my lord, His Highness King Jing has left the North Gate Pavilion and just arrived at the palace gate."
