Chapter 6 The County Magistrate's Eldest Daughter
Does Nan'an'er want to enter the palace?
You need to be alive to do that, right?
Su Yan: "Yes, Miss."
late at night.
The Nan family.
At this time, almost everyone except the person on night watch is asleep.
At this moment, Su Yan quietly entered the Nan family's residence.
Previously, Su Yan and Luo Xi often visited the Nan family, so she knew which room Nan Hui and Nan An'er lived in.
She went straight to her destination.
Now, Nan Hui is in charge of the Nan family. Their mother died when they were very young.
Their father also passed away a year ago.
Nan's father was a businessman who had offended many people and made many enemies in his youth. A year ago, one of his enemies came to his door, beheaded him, and he died.
However, that enemy didn't fare any better; he was arrested, imprisoned, and executed.
At that time, neither Nan Hui nor Nan An'er were home, and they escaped the disaster.
Now, the Nan family is relying on Nan Hui to keep them afloat.
Su Yan was dressed in all black, with makeup so thick that even ghosts wouldn't recognize her, and her face was covered with a black cloth, making her almost blend into the darkness.
Nan Hui and Nan An'er's rooms are very close.
Su Yan went to Nan Hui's room first. She blew sleeping powder into his room, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
Then, she gently pushed open the door, went inside, took the sword, and directly beheaded him.
Nan'an'er was the same.
In the end, they both died.
The officials investigated and found several plum blossoms at the scene. Plum blossoms? Could it be that the family of Mei Jin, who was driven to desperation by Nan's father three years ago and committed suicide by drowning, has come to their door?
This death was exactly the same as the death of Nan's father back then; both were beheaded.
In the end, everyone believed that it was Nan's father's enemy who came to their door and killed Nan Hui and Nan An'er.
Two weeks later,
The Marquis of Anding's residence.
Many people bring gifts when they visit.
Since Luo Xi is the future empress, they naturally need to maintain good relations with the empress's maternal family.
However, some people were forced to come because of pressure from the Emperor.
When the daughter of a county magistrate becomes empress, many noble families and clans naturally resent it.
However, even if they disagreed, they couldn't show it openly; otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful to the emperor's will, and could even result in execution.
The emperor has just ascended the throne, and even a new official has three major achievements to make, let alone a newly enthroned emperor. They certainly don't want to be the first to die.
Two weeks later,
Princess Yunyang's Residence.
She hosted a flower-viewing banquet, inviting all the noble ladies of the capital.
Luo Xi naturally went as well. She chatted with Princess Yunyang for a few words before going to admire the flowers.
At this moment, Luo Xi was standing under the magnolia tree, looking up at them.
Wang Tingting (the Prime Minister's daughter) saw Luo Xi standing over there, while the others were all a bit far away from her.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Tingting gracefully walked to Luo Xi's side, a gentle smile on her face, and spoke softly, her words contrasting with her expression, "Luo Xi, so what if you are officially appointed? As long as you haven't entered the palace, you are not yet the Empress, and there will be changes. It's still uncertain who will ultimately become Empress."
If it weren't for Luo Xi suddenly appearing out of nowhere, the position of Empress would have been hers alone.
How could she possibly accept this?
She wasn't afraid of Luo Xi getting angry or upset at all.
She was afraid that Luo Xi would not get angry.
Because once Luo Xi gets angry, she basically loses her mind. If Luo Xi hurts her, then Luo Xi's reputation will definitely plummet.
The others were too far away, and she was speaking so softly, they definitely couldn't hear her. They could only guess what she was saying based on her expressions.
She refused to believe that the Emperor would appoint such a person as Empress.
After all, an empress is required to be virtuous, kind, and a model for the nation.
Although the imperial edict cannot be invalidated, if the person dies, wouldn't the edict become invalid?
Upon hearing this, Luo Xi gave Wang Tingting a cold look.
Does she want to die? Then she'll grant her wish.
The next second, in front of everyone, Luo Xi tore off a hairpin from her head and shoved it cleanly into Wang Tingting's mouth.
Since she doesn't want this mouth, she'll help her out.
Wang Tingting's mouth was in excruciating pain; she collapsed to the ground, unable to even make a sound. The hairpin was still stuck in her mouth, and she dared not remove it, leaving her mouth open with blood flowing freely...
Wang Tingting looked at Luo Xi with fear and dread; she felt that Luo Xi was not even human.
How could Luo Xi be so cruel? How could she stab her mouth?
"ah!"
Everyone else who saw this was terrified and backed away.
They were all young ladies from prominent families, and their minds were naturally not simple.
This was the first time they had ever seen someone hurt someone so directly and so cruelly.
Luo Xi squatted down and said, "If the Empress's throne isn't mine in the end, how could it be yours?"
She gave a bloodthirsty smile and reached out to pull the hairpin out of Wang Tingting's mouth.
Wang Tingting was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
She looked at Luo Xi in fear. She never expected Luo Xi to be so crazy. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have provoked her.
Finally, she saw Luo Xi take the hairpin and pierce her neck.
In the end, Wang Tingting died.
