Chapter 200 Bo Qiaohui 12
Ever since Mo Xueyuan returned to the Pepper Room, Shen'er had grown increasingly worried. Especially after she'd tried everything to find her, her foreboding premonition had almost reached its peak.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Moreover, she had been patient for a long time, and now that she saw that great things could be accomplished, how could she give up this great opportunity?
"Since she wants to hide, then let her go. I don't believe that I can't overthrow the Queen without her!"
There was a look of madness on Nie Shen'er's face. He was risking everything and betting everything on a single gamble.
Three days later, Princess Guantao got married, and a fire broke out in the side room of the Pepper Palace. Rong'er, Dou Yifang's companion, found the pair of puppets with silver needles stuck into their bodies.
"Witchcraft, does she want me to die without a burial place?"
Dou Yifang held the pair of dolls in her arms. The familiar stitching on them made it impossible for her to deceive herself. This was the reward for her repeated tolerance. Her kindness had indeed allowed others to commit evil again and again.
But this time, she would never tolerate it again.
…………
The Queen's plans and the intrigues in the harem have little to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment.
Even though this incident almost threatened the queen's life, Dou Yifang still did not reveal these things to her two children.
In Liu Qi's eyes, it was that vicious bad woman who poisoned him, but was accidentally eaten by his sister who came back to visit. She also used a doll to curse his father and mother, but fortunately his mother discovered it.
The bad woman died and General Zhou returned triumphantly. It was a double blessing. Qi'er couldn't wait to share these things with Aqiao.
Looking at Dan Su flying out of the palace, Liu Qi's eyes were filled with envy that he himself didn't even notice.
At the Bo family, Qiaohui finished her last stitch, and a rather crudely crafted sachet was complete. Inside was her specially made scented ball, which smelled only of the faint fragrance of pine and cypress.
"Chiu~"
A red-bellied eagle landed on the window sill, combing its feathers and raising its claws.
Qiaohui took the letter and looked at the message on it: Princess Ping'an is marrying General Zhou. A smile appeared in her eyes. Although it was just a coincidence, it was still a good thing to help a pair of lovers come together.
Fluttering——
A pair of pigeons and eagles flew together in the sky with the sound of birds singing and flapping their wings.
The next day, the prince had a sachet of ordinary workmanship on his body. This kind of embroidery on the prince's body was supposed to be out of place, but no one complained.
It was because the empress was now devoted to Liu Wu, the son born to Madam Shen, and the emperor was busy with government affairs and never worried about these details, so the servants of Beigong only acted according to the prince's instructions and let the sachet hang on his belt.
However, the Queen never discovered this, because every once in a while, the prince would change the sachet on his body, and his embroidery skills became visibly better, so much so that before long, even the weaving room in the palace could not match it.
Two years passed in a flash, and King Wu Liu Bi brought his son Liu Xian to Changle Palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother. Seeing that Liu Xian was well-behaved and close in age to the prince, the Queen Mother decided to keep him in the palace as a study companion to the prince.
When Liu Qi returned to Taiji Hall, he saw a boy of about twelve or thirteen lying on his back on his desk, flipping through his bamboo slips.
"What are you? Who allowed you in?"
Liu Qi stretched out his hand and snatched the bamboo slips away, feeling very displeased with the man's frivolous look.
Liu Xian looked up and down at the "simple"-dressed prince, a hint of sarcasm welling up in his eyes, and a disdainful snort emanated from his nose:
"Tsk, you're talking about the Crown Prince? He's not that great, his clothes aren't even as good as mine. I didn't expect the palace to be so shabby."
"Who the hell are you? How dare you be so rude to me!" Liu Qi had never been so humiliated before and reached out to push him, but unfortunately Liu Xian, who was still young and a head taller than him, was even more disdainful and waved his hand away.
"I'm telling you, my father is King Wu Liu Bi, and I'm Liu Xian. You'd better be polite to me, or I'll be rude to you."
Seeing that the prince was not convinced, he became even more proud: "Don't think that you, the prince, are so great. If my father hadn't been guarding the border, would you still want to enjoy life in Chang'an? Even your father, the emperor, would have to be polite to my father, let alone you."
"Go away, go away." Liu Qi didn't care about all these twists and turns. He was so angry that he just stretched out his hand to drive Liu Xian away. While pushing him, he saw a sachet fall out of his arms.
Liu Xian immediately shouted, "I told you to push me, and you dropped my stuff, why don't you pick it up for me?"
"Isn't it just a broken sachet?" Liu Qi picked it up and threw it to him, "Get out of here!"
"Hey, what do you know? This was embroidered by my mother. Do you have it?" Liu Xian said as he pulled out a long piece of cloth embroidered with exquisite patterns from his waist. "And this, do you know what it is? A handkerchief. Look at the pattern on it. It was also embroidered by my mother stitch by stitch."
"Did your mother make these for you?"
Liu Qi rolled his eyes and pointed at the sachet embroidered with a tiger descending a mountain hanging from his waist. "Why not? My sachet is even more exquisite than yours. Yours is just covered in flowers and plants. Could it be that your mother embroidered it for your sisters and you stole it to show off?"
Liu Bi pulled it off from him and saw that the tiger on the sachet was indeed lifelike, as if it was about to jump out of the sachet. He immediately had an idea:
"As expected of His Royal Highness, the things you carry are better than mine. Consider this lunch box as your gift to me. Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
As he spoke, he was about to take it in his arms.
Liu Qi suddenly became anxious and stretched out his hand to grab it back, but he was not tall enough and his arms were not long enough, so he had to use all his strength to push and hit it: "Give it back to me, I make you give it back to me!"
"Hiss - are you sick? It's just a sachet. At worst, I can give you mine." Liu Xian casually took out the sachet embroidered by his mother and threw it to the prince, but was met with an even more fierce counterattack from him.
Liu Qi was like a mad tiger cub at this moment. The more he fought, the crazier he became. Even if Liu Xian pushed him down, he would grab his trouser legs and pull him down.
Liu Xian felt pain and became angry. He turned over and pressed the prince under him, then punched Liu Qi in the left eye.
Liu Qi felt dizzy, and his left eye was full of colorful circles of light. When he saw Liu Xian holding the sachet and about to leave, his head suddenly buzzed, and the string called reason, bang - broke.
"Give me back the sachet!"
Liu Qi jumped up from the ground, bent down and ran over, bumping into Liu Xian's waist.
As Liu Xian fell, the sachet in his hand also fell out. Liu Qi hurriedly picked up the sachet and put it back in his arms. He was knocked down and kicked twice by Liu Xian, but he didn't react at all.
"Bah, lunatic."
Liu Xian felt that the prince must have a brain disease, and he spat twice in an unlucky tone. Seeing that his face seemed to be bleeding from the fall just now, he was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he turned around and sneaked out of the Taiji Hall.
