Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 135

Maybe this scene was too terrifying, maybe it happened too suddenly. After Pei Xuan was forcibly escorted away, everyone still had a panic expression.

Princess Qing finally woke up, her eyes flushed and almost crying, but Jiang Xiaolou held the back of her hand and shook his head gently.

Princess Qing pressed down her tears in anger and looked away.

An Xiaoshao was already pale in shock, Jiang Xiaolou was really dancing on the tip of a knife, and she would be broken into pieces if she was not careful, but she could still be so calm. Taishan collapsed in front of her without changing her face. This is the precious wealth brought to her by the painful experience.

Xiao Guanxue gently raised the wine glass, and slightly raised her lips.

Pei Xuan, I gave you a ride, you should thank you.

In the dead silence, the emperor let out a long sigh, a disobedient violent general, he should have gone to **** long ago. With a solemn smile on his face: “Everyone, don’t be affected by this, continue to have a banquet.”

The queen’s eyes fell on Dugu Liancheng. At the very moment of his death, he was the first to rush to Jiang Xiaolou’s side. Does this mean that he has never considered the eyes of others, let alone what he did. Meaning.

After two rounds of drinking, one of the eunuchs offered a red brocade box over, and the emperor ordered: “Open it in front of everyone.”

Inside the brocade box is a blood-stained head, that bright eyebrow, handsome face, and wide eyes are the General Pei who shocked everyone just now. The crown prince’s heart sank suddenly, and his expression became ashen. He didn’t want to keep Pei Xuan, but the other party made it clear that he was coming for him. Just when the prince couldn’t control the trembling of his shoulders, the princess took his arm in time and said softly: “His Royal Highness, you are drunk.”

The prince was startled, his eyes became clearer instantly.

Yes, he was so drunk that he couldn’t tell that his first priority now was to get rid of the relationship, not to justify a dead person. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said: “Father, my son did not expect Pei Xuan to do such a deceitful thing, and he has repeatedly recommended him to you. Now he is extremely ashamed, and I beg my father to punish him.”

The emperor glanced at him with an indifferent expression: “The matter of Pei Xuan has nothing to do with the prince. This person repeatedly provokes my authority. Later, the Chief Wu will use Pei Xuan’s head method to eliminate Meng Huo’s grievances. You should learn from it and don’t repeat it.”

After hearing this, everyone responded in unison. Those generals who had falsely reported their military merits were involuntarily frightened, obviously very afraid.

The emperor snorted coldly and killed a hundred, just to achieve the effect of deterring everyone. Pei Xuan first killed and surrendered, and then condoned his subordinates to defect. It is hard for the civilians to be angry if he is not dead.

An Xiaoshao sighed softly, and whispered in Jiang Xiaolou’s ear: “I also said that you have nothing to do with Prince Jin. Look, if it wasn’t him just now, you would have died on the spot.”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled calmly: “Maybe…Prince Jin is here to protect you.”

An Xiaoshao gently shook the ivory bone fan in her hand. The picture of the lady boating on the fan was lifelike, but her tone was difficult to hide: “It turns out that you are not only brave, but also the skill of opening your eyes and telling lies is first-rate.” He covered half of his face with a fan, showing only a pair of shiny eyes, and squinted at her: “I have been to Prince Jin’s Mansion, do you know-what did he say to me?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at her with a silent expression: “I don’t want to know.”

“I don’t believe it!” An Xiaoshao raised her volume slightly, causing others to look at her. Only then did she vaguely realize that she was being noticed, and quickly lowered her voice, “I really don’t want to know?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at her with a mysterious appearance, and refused to let her say that he was not reconciled, so he smiled and said, “If you insist on saying it, I won’t stop it.”

An Xiaoshao turned her wrist, her ivory bone fan snapped together, and her smile became more triumphant: “He said, I already belonged in my heart. It’s not her who won’t marry me in this life, so I don’t want to dream.”

Jiang Xiaolou frowned lightly and opened it lightly again, and when he spoke again, he looked particularly peaceful: “You added the last sentence yourself.”

After being dismantled in an instant, An Xiaoshao’s face turned red, and she was immediately annoyed: “People have been telling you the truth, but you always make fun of you, really cunning!”

Princess Qing has collected the conversation between the two of them into her ears, sighed slightly, and secretly regretted in her heart. Xiaolou and Prince Jin are not suitable. If the two are barely together, they may cause serious disasters in the future.

The Queen’s eyes had already seen everything in sight, and she smiled, although she was stateless, she was also very noble: “Your Majesty, there is a happy event today, please ask your Majesty to make it.”

The emperor looked into the queen’s twinkling eyes, and there seemed to be unpredictable light and shadow in them. A smile slowly appeared on his face: “Oh, what is the happy event the Queen said?”

The smile on An Xiaoshao’s face disappeared in an instant, and she brought the Queen’s words to her ears, and she couldn’t help but become afraid.

No, don’t mention it! Don’t be that thing!

This is always the case in the world. The more afraid you are, the faster you will come.

The queen solemnly said: “Prince Jin is young and promising. He is both civil and military. He is the ideal beloved woman in Beijing.” When she said this, she paused slightly, and her smile became deeper and deeper, even in An Xiaoshao’s opinion. Somewhat cruel.

An Xiaoshao’s complexion has turned pale, and her hands are also clenched tightly, and the surface of the ivory bone fan’s veil is already crumpled.

Duguyu was talking to Dugufeng next to him, as if he hadn’t heard what the queen said, his expression was calm, but Jiang Xiaolou clearly felt that he seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions.

Princess Huayang, who had been sitting next to the queen, chuckled: “Mother, is she going to give Prince Jin a marriage? I don’t know which daughter has such a blessing.”

Gu Liunian glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, a faint smile crossed his lips.

“Of course it is–” The queen said with a smile, her expression becoming more and more relaxed, and slowly said.

Dugu Liancheng suddenly got up and said loudly: “Your Majesty, the minister is grateful for the kindness of the empress. Today I am going to ask your Majesty to give me a marriage. The minister’s sweetheart is the righteous daughter of King Qing Mingyue Princess.”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The queen’s nails were deeply plunged into the brocade mattress under her body, the blood in her chest surged instantly, and the anger in her eyes burst out with a terrifying expression. She stared at Jiang Xiaolou fiercely with a pair of eyes. At this moment, Jiang Xiaolou almost thought that she was going to be torn to pieces by that gaze.

Her heart is like falling into boiling water, floating up and down, and overturning.

Dugu Liancheng didn’t look to her, just finished saying this quietly, and said something that was definitely not like he would say.

Jiang Xiaolou’s thick eyelashes drooped slightly and the lip line was drawn into one.

An Xiaoshao suddenly raised her head and looked at Dugu Liancheng in disbelief. Someone in the world dared to cut off the Queen’s words in public!

The emperor’s gaze fell on Dugu Liancheng, and then he glanced at Jiang Xiaolou again, with a smile on his lips: “Oh, it turns out that Liancheng likes King Qing’s daughter. Well, Princess Mingyue is indeed a good girl. , Without losing the demeanor of a famous lady. Queen, what do you think?”

For a long time, the queen just looked at Jiang Xiaolou quietly, her eyes cold to the extreme.

The entire imperial garden was dead silent, and the atmosphere was three minutes worse than the atmosphere just now.

The palace ladies shuttled and changed the fruit points in front of everyone, while the queen sat high, without speaking for a long time, as if she had turned into a stone statue of gorgeous and beautiful shadows.

The bright moonlight fell on the queen’s face, causing her quiet and noble face to be stained with a faint icy cold, but it was fleeting, and there was no trace of it. After a while, the queen slowly spoke, and the exquisite flower tin was shining with a faint light, and the tone was particularly calm: “Although the prince Jin is beautiful, but what is the mind of the Mingyue Princess, Your Majesty does not know. The matter of the former Minping County Master , I still remember it…”

Duguying, the lord of Minping County, is the daughter of King Jiangping Duguxiu, who is the emperor’s cousin. The emperor made the decision to marry the county lord to Wang Xing, his favorite courtier, but the county lord believed that he was ugly, refused to marry him alive, and repeatedly petitioned the emperor, but was finally rejected. On the day of the wedding, the Yingying county host painted Wang Xing’s father’s name on the wall of his new house, then called him in, deliberately humiliating him with words. Wang Xing was extremely angry and attacked the county lord. The two pointed at Maimang, so a tragedy occurred. During the shoving, Wang Xing’s mother hit the wall and died on the spot. Wang Xing lost his mind and killed Duguying. She died, cut off her head and threw it into the lake. In the end, the entire palace was set on fire and self-immolated.

This tragedy happened five years ago, and the emperor still remembers it, deeply regretting that he should not insist on giving the marriage. The queen suddenly mentioned this matter today, clearly saying that Jiang Xiaolou might not be willing to marry Dugu Liancheng.

Concubine Qing’s heart froze, and she immediately understood that the queen was giving Jiang Xiaolou a chance to refuse. As long as she wisely refuses the marriage, the queen will be able to make things happen. She quietly pulled the clothes of the Jiang Xiaolou under the table and winked at her.

Reject, must refuse!

Xiaolou, this is the last chance the queen gives you.

The emperor was startled, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. Duguying’s marriage is indeed very wrong. The woman has the appearance of being overwhelmed by the country, but the man is not like Song Yu. This mismatched marriage made him restless. Not only Duguying, but also the princess he married to Pei Xuan… At this moment, he vaguely sensed the empress’s will, and looked at Jiang Xiaolou calmly: “Mingyue Princess, the empress empress is asking you whether you fit. Mind?”

The imperial marriage gave a lot of words, and there was no intention to ask the parties. The moment the emperor spoke, the expressions of everyone were brilliant. The queen wanted to give Dugu Liancheng a marriage, but he was obviously not satisfied with the queen’s choice, and deliberately took the lead. When the queen was rejected in public, she was naturally very upset, so she asked Jiang Xiaolou, if she was acquainted, she should find an excuse to refuse, so as not to lose the holy intention.

The smile on Xiao Guanxue’s lips became more and more ironic, Jiang Xiaolou, promised this marriage will completely lose the support of the queen, will you sacrifice your own interests for a man?

Jiang Xiaolou slowly raised his eyes in the eyes of everyone. Concubine Qing’s worried eyes fell on her, and she immediately said, “The Queen Empress——”

The queen suddenly stretched out a hand to stop the words of Princess Qing, with an indifferent smile on her lips: “I want to listen to Jiang Xiaolou.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes saw Xiang Dugu Liancheng, and he was looking at her quietly. Among the thousands of candles, his eyes are so bright, deep, and gentle, and there is a strong message in his eyes.

help me.

One of her heart beats more and more fiercely, and complex emotions surged up.

She worked hard and worked hard to get the Queen’s favor. For this day, she did not know how long she had prepared, how long she had studied, and how much effort she had put in. The queen is always the most important part of her plan, how can she give up?

But she owed Dugu Liancheng too much, and he saved her life three times, three times.

Jiang Xiaolou didn’t know, she kept holding her breath, but in a short moment, she seemed to have gone through a long life.

No, no, she can’t ruin her entire plan just because of a man. Nothing can compare with revenge.

Qin Si, Pei Xuan…one after another, now they are behind Xiao Guanxue and the prince. Seeing that she is about to succeed, she must not give up.

However, she couldn’t help looking into the eyes of Dugu Liancheng. He seemed to have realized something, his eyes slowly returned to calm, the clear eyes seemed to be disappointed, but they were full of understanding and tolerance. Dugu Liancheng’s gaze swept across her face quickly, no longer staying, and said to the emperor: “Your Majesty, since Princess Mingyue has something else in his heart…”

Before he could finish his words, he saw the queen smile of relief: “Flowers are deliberate, and water is ruthless. What a pity, what a pity!”

The queen’s expression was cold and arrogant, and she looked over with indescribable contempt. Look, the daughter of a businessman really didn’t dare to accept Prince Jin’s love. Jiang Xiaolou, you are nothing without my support, so only by obediently obedient can you continue to survive.

This is a cruel reality, and even if you turn the clouds and rain, you will not be able to match the gap between identity and power.

Jiang Xiaolou suddenly opened her mouth, and in the silence, her voice seemed so clear: “Your Majesty, Xiaolou is willing to follow your Majesty’s will.”

Everyone looked at her, Gu Liunian heard only a few words vaguely, and at this moment he suddenly stared sharply, looking straight at her.

Jiang Xiaolou is crazy!

The queen had clearly asked her to reject the marriage, but she was indifferent under such obvious hints.

In the brilliant candlelight, Jiang Xiaolou stood upright, her white cheeks flushed lightly, and the shiny jasper hairpin exuded a moving brilliance in her black hair. When the wind blew, the scattered petals gently brushed her cheeks, her expression became more and more indifferent, but her dark eyes were extremely firm.

She agreed, actually agreed!

The emperor was slightly stunned at first, and then burst into laughter: “Okay, this is the appearance of a talented man, a natural match. A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and the queen, this is a good marriage!”

While talking, the emperor stared at the queen, as if to keep seeing her in his heart.

The queen’s complexion suddenly changed, she clenched her fists tightly, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She had a feeling of betrayal. This feeling came from her love for Jiang Xiaolou and Dugu Liancheng. The two people in front of me clearly betrayed her together! She asked Dugu Liancheng to marry An Xiaoshao, completely for his sake. The foundation of Dugu Liancheng is too shallow. If he wants to develop in the future, he must win Anjia’s support, but he actually did not hesitate to defy his will for the sake of a small Jiang Xiaolou. What about Jiang Xiaolou? She was so good to her, and she took her humble background to the position of Princess Mingyue, how did she repay her, and actually refuted her face in the public. Well, these two guys did a great job!

The queen’s heart was raging, as if it was about to happen in the next moment.

Jiang Xiaolou’s behavior clearly angered the queen, and Princess Qing’s heart jumped abruptly. She only felt that a catastrophe was imminent. She held Jiang Xiaolou’s hand tightly and forcibly pulled her back to her side, but Jiang Xiao Lou Jing stood still on the spot, still motionless.

An Xiaoshao couldn’t tell the complicated feelings in her heart, she kept saying that she wanted to fight, but when the thing happened, she could only sit where she was cold, and she didn’t even have the courage to speak, let alone stand up and refuse. Originally in Xiaohua Hall, she was so cowardly and selfish that she didn’t look down on Xiaolou, but today she discovered that the real coward is herself.

Dugu Liancheng smiled slightly, his deep eyes showed a little gentleness, and he said deeply and firmly: “Weichen courageously ask your majesty to give us the marriage.”

The queen couldn’t help faintly carrying a hint of shame in her eyes, as if she had been slapped alive.

The emperor nodded and said, “Okay, I approved what Aiqing asked.”

The queen gritted her teeth secretly, her eyes getting colder. Jiang Xiaolou had never seen the queen show such an expression, at least not in front of her. After a long time, the queen suddenly laughed slightly. The laughter was very low. The bead string held in the golden phoenix’s mouth on the high bun, followed her laughter, gently swayed under the candlelight: ” Your Majesty, this is the splendid marriage bestowed by God. To be able to complete a pair of jade men today is a blessing.”

Seeing the queen said this, everyone was relieved.

Princess Qing became more nervous in her heart. She knew the queen too much, and looked gentle on the surface, but if she hadn’t been ruthless, how could she stand still without any children. Today Jiang Xiaolou’s behavior has completely offended her, and she will not easily forgive her.

Now it’s too late to say anything, everything is irretrievable.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, and the sound of beautiful music started again, and a group of beautiful women in colorful silk danced gracefully, beautiful and graceful, but after the thrilling marriage just now, everyone seemed a little absent-minded. King Qing sat in the crowd from beginning to end, the expression on his face was particularly indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him, but in fact there was a cold smile on his lips, no one could compare He knew better that Jiang Xiaolou was finished, completely finished.

An Xiaoshao looked at Jiang Xiaolou, bending her lips as if she wanted to laugh, but her brows were always tightly locked, and her expression was extremely strange. She was worried, very worried. She was very familiar with the queen’s temperament. Of course, she knew that her aunt’s appearance was soft and her secret methods were extremely harsh.

Princess Qing sighed: “I kept stopping, but after all, I couldn’t stop it. That’s all, you can do whatever you want. If I force you to marry the third prince, you will only be unhappy all day long, and everyone will feel unhappy. It’s better to do what you want, but…”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at Princess Qing, the other party’s expression was extremely serious.

“Mother, the matter is over, there is no way to turn back.”

When Princess Qing heard this, she just turned her head silently and smiled, very sad.

After the banquet, returning to the main hall, the queen’s original peaceful expression instantly retreated. She had an icy face, changed her look like a yin bird, and her eyes fell straight on An Xiaoshao’s body.

Those deep eyes glowed with resentment in the dark night, An Xiaoshao’s heart trembled, and an indescribable fear surged into her heart, and she fell to her knees with a plop: “Please forgive me, my mother.”

The queen sneered: “What is your crime?”

An Xiaoshao knew the queen’s nature, so she just hung her head and didn’t dare to say anything.

The queen looked at her with a gloomy look. This expression made her ordinary and dignified face even more cruel and ruthless: “How do I teach you on weekdays, and today you are united with outsiders to break my heart.”

An Xiaoshao’s head was lowered, and there was a faint urge to escape immediately. But she suddenly remembered the peaceful Jiang Xiaolou at the banquet, as if she had gathered courage, she said solemnly: “Manny, everything you want can of course achieve your goal, but you will pay a serious price. The niece is stupid. , But I don’t want my mother to make such a mistake.”

The queen heard what the other party meant. Although An Xiaoshao’s tone was soft, she was filled with painful dissatisfaction. She couldn’t believe her ears and said: “I have been so kind to you over the years. You are not half grateful, but why Even if you want to say such harsh words, are you trying to stab me in the heart like Jiang Xiaolou?”

An Xiaoshao was stunned, and the queen continued: “You lost your mother, and I pity you for your loneliness, so I often call you to the palace to accompany you, treat you like your own daughter, consider everything for your sake, even your future husband and son will be fine Pick and choose. Prince Jin is both civil and military, and his position is detached. He is your good match. You are such a proud person, how can you not compare to Jiang Xiaolou, Prince Jin refused to marry you, you can swallow this breath , Turned his head to help his enemy, is it crazy or stupid?”

An Xiaoshao frowned and said: “Manny, I dare not disobey your decision, but Prince Jin has no intention of me, so why should I be boring.”

The queen couldn’t help but sneered: “Although your identity is just a daughter of a family home, you are actually no different from a royal princess. Prince Jin doesn’t like you if you don’t marry, then where does he see the royal family and where I am? Excuses, all are you An excuse to betray me!”

An Xiaoshao raised her head and looked into the eyes of the queen with a clear gaze. She said slowly: “Manny, this is the end of the matter, Xiao Shao knows she has no way to explain it, but please forgive Princess Mingyue, she and Prince Jin are already in love… ”

“Is there a lover?” The queen sneered, her eyes flashed gloomily, “A **** who doesn’t even know how to report, it’s no wonder that everyone said she was from a business family and didn’t understand etiquette. It’s really ridiculous to praise her like this.”

An Xiaoshao’s heart trembled when she heard the stern words in the queen’s tone, and she immediately pleaded: “I can understand the indignation in the mother’s heart, but please take the overall situation first, don’t blame Mingyue Princess and Prince Jin, your Success will not exchange you for a strong enemy, it will only exchange their gratitude!”

“I don’t need anyone’s gratitude!” The queen stood up suddenly, her tone frozen, “Since you are not willing to follow my will, then go out of the palace now! You cannot enter without my call in the future. Gong!” After speaking, she flicked her sleeves, turned and left.

“Niang Niang!” An Xiaoshao yelled, but the queen walked straight to the depths of the palace without looking back.

An Xiaoshao’s eyes slowly filled with worry, what should be done now…

That night, Qing Palace received another decree. The queen ordered the female officer beside her to bring many gifts to Jiang Xiaolou. When the female officer Huang expressed her intentions, Princess Qing had a slight shock on her face. Jiang Xiaolou publicly refuted the empress’s face at the banquet, but she still sent these gifts. The deep meaning…

Her gaze flicked over the jewels and jade articles, and then stopped at the female officer Huang’s face, and smiled reluctantly: “Mother Huang, are these gifts from the empress?”

The female officer Huang was smiling, and her expression was the same as usual: “This is natural, the empress also said that tomorrow I will ask the princess to enter the palace to speak with her.”

Concubine Qing and Jiang Xiaolou looked at each other. Concubine Qing suppressed the tremor in her eyes and quickly said, “Thank you.”

After the female officer Huang left, Princess Qing’s face was blue, and her voice was trembling: “Xiaolou, you must not enter the palace tomorrow, think of a way to push it away!”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly: “Mother, can we push the empress’s will? No matter if it’s a medical condition or for any other reason, the empress won’t forgive it.”

“You don’t know the queen’s sex, on the surface it looks very easygoing, but if you disobey her, the consequences will be disastrous!”

Jiang Xiaolou was just silent and said nothing.

Princess Qing sighed and sighed, her face was extremely uneasy. She almost wanted to persuade Jiang Xiaolou to give up the marriage by herself, but after thinking about it carefully, since the emperor had issued the imperial decree, there was no possibility of change. Entering will offend the queen, and retreating will offend your Majesty. There is a dilemma. Now it is almost a desperate situation. The more she thought about it, the more headache she got, and her face turned pale, and now Xiaodie came in to report: “Miss, Miss An, please.”

Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyes, just smiled, “Mother should go back and rest earlier. I’ll see An Xiaoshao.”

Princess Qing nodded and couldn’t help standing up and walking outside, but she turned her head back and couldn’t help but said: “No matter how careful everything is, An Xiaoshao is the queen’s niece after all. She may be here to check your tone… ”

Jiang Xiaolou knew that An Xiaoshao would never do this, but in front of Princess Qing she didn’t explain much, just nodded, and then Princess Qing left. An Xiaoshao walked into the flower hall quickly after being covered with dew on her big banquet. At a glance, he saw Jiang Xiaolou sitting under the window, his long skirt hanging down, his face was pure and refined, and his eyes were looking at him quietly like flowing water. She couldn’t help but frowned, and said, “Are you happy now?”

Jiang Xiaolou felt amused: “You didn’t come to persuade me to have an idea at the beginning, why do you blame me now?”

An Xiaoshao couldn’t laugh or cry: “I just wanted you to try secretly. Who made you admit it in public today? This is just beating the empress empress!”

Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “You have to ask Prince Jin for this.”

An Xiaoshao was stunned, and immediately felt sad. The matter is now a foregone conclusion. It is really embarrassing to be unable to advance or retreat. Then she suddenly remembered something, and asked: “I saw the guard of honor in the palace just now, does the empress have a will to award it?”

Jiang Xiaolou nodded: “The Queen Mother invites me to enter the palace tomorrow.”

“I will enter the palace tomorrow?” An Xiaoshao’s expression changed. She stared at Jiang Xiaolou and said, “You must not go.”

Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile, “Oh, why?”

“I’m afraid this will cost my life–”

“Is it that serious?” Jiang Xiaolou pretended not to notice it.

“Of course there is, let alone you, even my mother back then—” An Xiaoshao stopped when he said this. She looked at Jiang Xiaolou, sighed suddenly, walked up to her and sat down.

The moonlight outside entered the hall, falling on An Xiaoshao’s face, adding a hazy beauty to her face, and her eyes were a little tranced and uneasy.

The gleaming light of the moon made people panic.

“My mother has always been arrogant and she is not loved by the empress. At first, because the empress insisted on taking a concubine for her father, and her mother refused, she severely rebuked her in the name of being jealous and made her kneel in the palace. For a whole night, my mother was always known for her arrogance, and she let out a sigh of relief. Her self-esteem was greatly damped. When she returned to the room, she swallowed water and gold into her stomach, and committed suicide in anger.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s eyelids twitched, looking at An Xiaoshao, he seemed to show sympathy.

“After my mother swallowed the gold, my father hurriedly called for a doctor, but after the diagnosis, they said it was too late to be cured. When my father heard this, he couldn’t walk anymore and cried on the spot. Before my mother died, he was in pain. I lay on the bed and barely asked for the funeral. I will always remember that day, no, maybe I will never forget it in my life. After the death of my mother, the queen and her mother went to the house to hang herself for funerals. According to the old rules, all of us must kneel Greetings, including my grandmother. That day just in time for the heavy rain, my grandmother followed the rules to greet everyone in the yard in the rain. After the lady entered the house, she did not say anything to ask everyone to get up, so everyone had to kneel straight and dare I was so angry that I couldn’t say anything. How long my mother stayed in the house, how long my grandmother knelt in the heavy rain.”

An Xiaoshao trembled all over, obviously recalling the terrible past.

“Within two days back, my grandmother also followed. My father and my mother have a deep relationship and have always been dissatisfied with her death. He originally wanted to marry his mother’s cousin as a continuation, but the empress insisted that his father should marry Hongyousiqing. The daughter of Master Rong’s family, his father got engaged to my cousin first, but the queen empress insisted on intimidating him. Under her all kinds of threats, my father had to withdraw the marriage contract. Who knows that my cousin’s temperament is strong and sudden After retiring from the marriage, he actually committed suicide with hatred. The father’s heart became more and more angrily, and after reluctantly renewing the strings, his face never smiled. Now you should understand that the queen empress is not a really kind person, and treats her brother well. So domineering, you are an outsider, how will she treat you? Xiaolou, you must be careful not to be caught by her, otherwise she will definitely use this as a reason to get rid of you.”

When An Xiaoshao said these things, her eyes were very serious. Jiang Xiaolou is a friend worthy of making a lot of. That’s why she poured out family secrets to her, just to remind her to be more careful.

Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rely on the Queen Empress, but now it’s a trouble.”

It’s not a pity that after working so hard for so long, the good situation is exhausted.

An Xiaoshao stood up and said softly: “Be careful tomorrow, and don’t disobey the mother.”

Jiang Xiaolou nodded: “The Empress Empress is your own aunt. How to choose you is more clear than I am. This Qing Palace… you still don’t come, lest the Empress Empress knows to blame you.”

An Xiaoshao sighed slightly, her eyes pitying: “The empress had already known it, she severely reprimanded me for not allowing me to re-enter the palace, so this is the only thing I can help you. When necessary, you can go to Prince Jin, I think he will have a way. Now I should say goodbye. You must cherish it.”

On the second day, Jiang Xiaolou entered the palace and saw the queen. The female officer Huang had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Jiang Xiaolou, she smiled: “The lady has been waiting for a long time, the princess, please.”

Entering the inner hall, the queen sat on the throne, her expression was no different from usual, she looked at Jiang Xiaolou condescendingly, with a calm expression: “Xiaolou, I really like you very much. Xiao Shao that girl is me. I have seen a big one since I was a child, but she is too kind to get things done. Although her education and conduct are very good, but she can’t go too far. You are different. The humble background gives you courage, the same talent, appearance, scheming and means. No shortage, I originally thought I could cultivate you well for my use, and it will come in great use in the future…”

Jiang Xiaolou lowered his eyes, with a gentle expression: “Does the mother see through the Xiaolou now?”

The queen sighed and said: “Yes, now I can see you through. On the surface, I am gentle, gentle and amiable, but in fact I am full of bad ideas, and I actually stared at Prince Jin. Is he what you deserve to think? ”

Jiang Xiaolou did not answer, but fixedly looked at each other. The queen looked at her, her expression slowly cooling down.

“Prince Jin is my nephew, and his marriage should naturally be in charge of the royal family, but you are the daughter of a businessman who dares to disobey my heart. You should know what will happen to you.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s face was calm as water: “Dare to ask, what will the mother do with the small building.”

The queen patted her hands lightly, and immediately a court lady walked in with a red lacquered wooden tray. There is a jade cup full of liquor in the tray. The liquor in the cup is clear without a trace of impurities.

“Now—you should understand, right?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at the queen, with a cold smile on his face: “Queen, Xiaolou is just a weak female stream, and it does not hinder you in the slightest. Why do you do this.”

The queen sneered: “People in this world who dared to disobey me, naturally cannot live! I used to promote you on the face of Princess Qing, but you really disappointed me. Now I have given you a whole body. My grace. Don’t you understand, Prince Jin will not marry you anyway.”

Jiang Xiaolou sighed gently, the queen’s stubbornness was really a headache.

“No, you are wrong, Empress, I will definitely marry her.”

As soon as the voice fell, a handsome and handsome young man had stepped into the main hall, and the maid beside him couldn’t stop him, with a panicked expression on his face.

When the queen saw Dugu Liancheng, she was taken aback for a moment, and then her eyes became colder. She stared at Dugu Liancheng and said, “Are you determined to make trouble with me?”

Dugu Liancheng’s deep eyebrows slowly showed a hint of coldness: “Manny, it is not that we are embarrassing you, but you are deliberately making things difficult for the small building.”

The queen looked more frightened and anxious: “Dugu Liancheng, don’t forget, who helped you today?”

Dugu Liancheng’s pale lips were only curved in a cold arc.

The eyes of the deep pool flashed a decisive light.

Obviously it is such a handsome face, but his tone is like ice: “Your Majesty has already issued the imperial decree, and this marriage will never be changed. If the lady resents Xiaolou, it is better to transfer this hatred to me. insist on marrying her. I’m the one who has nothing to do with her.”

The queen became more angry and annoyed after hearing this excuse.

No one has ever dared to slap her in the face like this, the emperor would not, and the prince did not dare, but today these two people are clearly going to **** her off, they are really gratitude and revenge! Why, why are these two people? She has always trusted them and promoted them! However, after the anger passed, she suddenly calmed down strangely and instructed the female officer Huang: “Send this glass of wine over.”

The female officer Huang sent the glass of poisoned wine to Jiang Xiaolou and Dugu Liancheng. The queen said slowly and logically: “One of you must drink this glass of poisonous wine. Jiang Xiaolou, if you really love Prince Jin, then this glass You can drink the wine. But if the Prince Jin is reluctant to bear the beauty, he has to sacrifice himself.”

Looking at the queen, Jiang Xiaolou suddenly understood the other party’s intentions. Naturally, the queen didn’t want them to perform a love dilemma, she just knew how to provoke discord. The most important thing for men and women to get along is the love of life and death. When the relationship is deep, it is you and me, and they look like they want to give everything for each other. If he is greedy for life and fear of death and refuses to drink the poisoned wine, he is leaving the danger to Dugu Liancheng, so he will definitely be discouraged and the marriage will not happen. But if you drink poisoned alcohol yourself, you are fighting with death. How can a dead person become a princess of alcohol? It will be too late to regret. After all, she just wanted Dugu Liancheng to recognize her own nature. Yeah, Jiang Xiaolou was selfish and vicious. How could she not even want his life for a man?

Although the queen seemed to be silent on the surface, she was in fact very scheming, and she was able to adopt such an attitude, which was really admirable.

There is no lover in the world that can withstand such a separation, and a vicious smile slowly appeared on the queen’s lips.
