A few strands of black hair hung down in front of Mrs. Lu's forehead as she stumbled over to Mrs. Cui.
She clutched Cui's arm tightly with both hands. "Mammy, you're the only one here now. You accompanied me into the palace and watched me grow up. Tell me, is it true that I can't avenge Prince Jin?"
Cui frowned, her arm aching from the pressure Lu had exerted. "Empress Dowager, as long as you're in this position, even if they can get away with it this time, how can they escape it next time?"
Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed sinisterly, "Hahaha, yes, they are just mice being toyed with by the cat after all, but..."
She suddenly stopped smiling and asked, "Is Xia Yu really crazy or just pretending to be crazy? If he is really crazy, then killing him would be a good thing for him, right?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Lu's whole body went limp and she slowly fell into the soft chair, with the gold hairpins and hairpins on her head tilted.
"Xia Yu can't go crazy!" She murmured to herself: "He must be awake to see me torture Shen Yuyao to death, and then..."
Her scarlet eyes were filled with evil charm, and her gaze became even colder. "Since he has gone mad, then the chief secretary and military officers in his palace are naturally useless. They should be transferred to the border fortress."
Cui's eyes flashed with joy and excitement. She clasped her hands together and silently said, "Thank God, Queen Mother, she is finally awake!"
"Cui."
"exist."
"Go and ask the emperor to come. He should have an imperial decree to issue."
"I will obey the Empress's order."
......
Yanjing, Prince Ning’s Mansion.
"My Lord, the wind is blowing. Let's go inside."
Shen Yuyao stood behind Xia Yu, looking at his loose long hair and the moon-white plain clothes he was wearing, and sighed softly.
That day, Xia Yu was ordered to return to Kyoto to attend the funeral. Unexpectedly, he was hit on the head by a flying stone as soon as he arrived at the border of Yanjing.
Xia Yu fell off his horse and was seriously injured and in critical condition.
Fortunately, Ma Sanbao and Danggui, who were traveling with them, made a prompt decision and sent Xia Yu back to Prince Ning's Mansion in Yanjing overnight. After Shen Yuyao and Xia Xiaoxian worked together to treat him, he barely survived.
Although his life was saved, Prince Ning, who had regained consciousness, was not conscious.
When the new emperor learned that Prince Ning was in danger and could not go to Beijing to attend the funeral, instead of comforting him, he sent him an oral order that was quite dangerous.
Shen Yuyao knew that the person in the palace had lost her patience. She was determined to get evidence of Xia Yu's evil intentions and then wipe out the entire Ning Wang Mansion.
Looking at the distracted prince in front of her, Shen Yuyao could only sigh.
It was already midnight, but Xia Yu still refused to go back to the house to rest.
On the incense table in the main hall was the imperial edict that had just arrived today.
The imperial edict clearly stated that all the chief officials and military officers of the Ning Wang Mansion must be transferred to the border fortresses within one month to strengthen the border troops.
Shen Yuyao knew very well what this meant. This was the beginning of the person in the palace using the new emperor to kill you.
What made her feel extremely dangerous was that in three days, the new emperor's Jinyiwei would officially take over the security of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Everyone in Prince Ning’s Mansion is under house arrest!
Shen Yuyao, who was well-versed in history books, knew that the death of the entire Ning Wang Mansion was not far away.
"Xiao...Xian! Let's go!"
Shen Yuyao was racking her brains for a response when Xia Yu, who had been sitting beside her stupidly, suddenly started drooling and mumbled a few words.
Xia Xiaoxian?
Let Xiaoxian go?
Shen Yuyao looked at Xia Yu with doubts in her eyes.
“Smells good…smells good…”
In an instant, a special light suddenly flashed in Shen Yuyao's eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.
Yes, that’s the only way!
......
The day after the Embroidered Uniform Guard took over the protection of the palace, at noon.
Xia Yu walked naked from the bedroom to the main hall with his hair loose, holding a live chicken that he had caught at some point in his mouth.
Poor chicken.
The wings had been bitten by him until they were bleeding, and they flapped desperately beside Xia Yu's neck.
It kept making a "cluck, cluck" sound.
"Hahaha." Xia Yu laughed unscrupulously. He stretched out his hand and pinched the chicken's neck. Then he opened his mouth wide, aimed at the chicken's head and bit it hard.
With a "click" sound, the poor chicken finally stopped crowing.
Xia Yu's mouth was full of excitement, but suddenly he couldn't hear the rooster crowing, which seemed to give him even greater stimulation.
He threw the headless chicken on the ground and started running around the yard wall naked.
As he ran, he shouted: "I am the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor! I am the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor..."
Shen Yuyao and the other concubines all ran towards Xia Yu, wanting to help him put on his clothes.
Who would have thought that after a burst of strange laughter, Xia Yu kicked Shen Yuyao in the heart and knocked her to the ground.
Everyone in the palace and the new emperor's Jinyiwei who were watching were all shocked. You know, the person Xia Yu kicked to the ground at this moment was none other than his beloved Princess Ning!
She was also the "female scholar" praised by the late emperor, and was the commander of the "Black Dragon Guard", the predecessor of today's "Jinyi Guard"!
"Oh my god, the prince has really gone crazy!"
The concubines cried and shouted.
The youngest child in Prince Ning's mansion even had his eyes covered by the maids who took care of him.
The servants were all stunned and said that Prince Ning's headache would never be cured. One or two Jinyiwei who were in charge of guarding Prince Ning's mansion even speculated that Prince Ning was scared crazy by the new emperor!
"Scared out of his mind?" The two officials sent by the new emperor to monitor Xia Yu didn't believe it. "Who are you kidding?"
How could the great war god of Great Xia, Prince Ning, whose military achievements were so outstanding that the new emperor was afraid of him, be frightened mad so easily?
"Prince Ning is probably playing dumb!" said the portly official, surnamed Huang, courtesy name Zicheng. "He's trying to get away with this by feigning madness. Do you really think we're being fooled?"
"Someone's here." The thin official, surnamed Qi and given his given name Tai, said with a haughty expression, "Bring Prince Ning here for questioning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu jumped into a manure pit in the backyard with a plop.
After struggling for a few times, before anyone could come to his rescue, he climbed up by himself with a smile on his face.
The servants were just about to go over and pull him out, covering their noses, but Xia Yu jumped into the pit again with a smile on his face.
It repeats itself over and over again.
Even Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai didn't want to watch any longer, so they ordered several Jinyiwei to pour several basins of water on Xia Yu's head and then subdue him.
"Since he has gone so crazy, let Prince Ning live in a pigsty." Mrs. Qi covered her mouth and nose and said with disgust on her face.
"That's great!" Huang Zicheng nodded. "Come here! Send Prince Ning to the pigpen."
Shen Yuyao staggered to her feet and tried to stop the Jinyiwei's brutality, but she was powerless and fell to the ground again.
Xia Yu!
Your kick was really vicious!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from the corner of Shen Yuyao's mouth.
"Oh no! The princess is vomiting blood!"
