Chapter 195: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
"Empress Hui, which princess's mansion are we going to?" When Concubine Hui's personal maid Zhixia heard Concubine Hui's order, she was about to go out to prepare, but when she thought about the fact that there were now two princesses, she hesitated and turned back.
"Come here and stand closer." When Concubine Hui heard Zhixia's question, no one knew what emotion was in her eyes, but her tone was gentle.
"Yes, Empress Hui." Zhixia approached Concubine Hui carefully. She knew that Concubine Hui's expression was a sign of her getting angry, but she had to obey the order.
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Zhixia's left cheek felt burning with pain, but she didn't dare to cover her cheek with her hand. She just knelt down in a hurry.
"Empress Huifei, I admit my guilt." Zhixia kowtowed continuously, enduring the piercing pain.
"What crime have you committed?" Concubine Hui stood there, not even looking at Zhixia who was kneeling on the ground, but just rubbed her fingers that were as thin as scallions.
"This... this..." Zhixia's eyes were wandering, but she didn't know how to start. She had no idea where she was wrong, but since Concubine Hui was angry, it must be that she did something wrong.
"Waste, which princess's mansion can I go to? Su Yue is just a princess from another family.
Even though the emperor awarded me the house, he didn't move in because she hasn't reached the age of 15 yet. What do you want me to do in that empty house? ”
Concubine Hui then spoke out, her eyes fierce and her tone unfriendly.
This Su Yue actually put out the forest fire and became the first princess from a different family in Dongyou. It only took a short period of time for her to go from a county princess to a princess.
If she was given a little more time, wouldn't Su Yue be riding on her head? He must find a way to kill Su Yue, but he must also escape unscathed.
Only then did she think of Princess Fuping. Fuping was a pervert with a shameful secret. Last time, Fuping killed a maid who served Shangguan Nanxing, which she saw by chance.
Later, she saw the way Fuping looked at Shangguan Nanxing several times.
That look, tsk tsk tsk...
"Yes, yes..." Zhixia then realized that Concubine Hui wanted to go to Princess Fuping's Mansion, and hurried out to prepare.
At this time, Princess Fuping, who had been threatened by Shangguan Nanxing not to touch Su Yue, smashed a lot of things. Later, she heard that Su Yue was named a princess, which was on the same level as herself, and she was so angry that she smashed a lot of things again.
The servants in the entire Princess's Mansion were terrified because of the death of the housekeeper, fearing that the Princess would order them to deal with Miss Su.
Later, they heard that Su Yue was conferred the title of Princess Su, and they were frightened again. What if the Princess got angry and asked them to kill Princess Su?
It's not just a matter of losing your life, but even your entire clan will be at risk.
"They are all a bunch of trash. Why should Su Yue, that bitch, be on an equal footing with me?"
Princess Fuping was in the garden, holding a long sword and madly slashing at the newly blooming forsythia in front of her, as if Su Yue's appearance was printed on these forsythia flowers.
Poor forsythia, they were tortured by Fu Pingling to the point that they no longer looked like flowers at all, they were all turned into a rotten pile.
The maidservant who was serving on the side hid aside, but did not dare to go too far away to avoid causing the princess' dissatisfaction, so she had to stay beside her. Every time the princess cut the forsythia, her body trembled with fear.
"Princess, Concubine Hui is here." At this time, a servant came running over and reported loudly.
"Concubine Hui, what is he doing here?" Fu Ping stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the servant, as if he was asking the servant, but also as if he was asking himself.
"I...I don't know." The servant was so scared by Fuping's look that he started to stutter.
"Let her in, she's such a waste." Fuping looked at the frightened look on the servant's face. She didn't have the heart to punish the servant now. Instead, the arrival of Concubine Hui made her curious.
"Fuping, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you okay?"
Concubine Hui saw Fuping standing in the garden from a distance. She glanced behind her and saw the flowers that were in a terrible state. Looking more closely, they seemed to be forsythia.
"Of course I'm fine. What are you doing here?" Fu Ping looked at Concubine Hui from head to toe and from toe to head with contempt.
"Of course I am worried about the princess. After all, I haven't seen her for a long time. Feng'er was unconscious in Nanshan a few days ago. I was very upset, but there was no one to confide in.
At this moment, I am particularly envious of your mother. At least she has a daughter like you to whom she can talk in confidence. ”
Concubine Hui didn't care at all about Fuping's arrogant attitude and contemptuous tone. On the contrary, the more she acted like that, the more confident Concubine Hui felt in controlling her.
"If you are envious, then just give birth to another child. If you can't give birth, it will be the same if you let Shangguan Nanfeng give birth." Fu Ping didn't want to be pitiful by Concubine Hui and retorted without any hesitation.
When Concubine Hui heard Fu Ping asking her to give birth, her smile froze in embarrassment. Only she knew that since Concubine Xian's death, the Emperor would have someone bring her contraceptive soup every time he favored her.
The same thing happened to Concubine Yu, but she was very lucky. She was able to get pregnant after taking the contraceptive soup and gave birth to the emperor's third prince.
"What are you talking about, Princess? If we're talking about having children, the Third Prince will probably be faster than Feng'er." Concubine Hui's eyes turned and she followed her words, "inadvertently" saying what Fuping didn't want to hear the most.
"Concubine Hui, what do you mean by this?" Sure enough, when Fuping heard Concubine Hui mention Shangguan Nanxing, the smile that had just appeared because of teasing Concubine Hui quickly disappeared.
"Fuping, you don't know, Shangguan Nanxing and Su Yue all went to Nanshan that day." Concubine Hui saw the sudden change on Fuping's face and felt secretly happy in her heart. It was Fuping's fault for blocking her just now.
"I know this. Just tell me the point." Fuping interrupted Concubine Hui with an impatient tone. Of course she knew that Shangguan Nanxing and Su Yue went to Nanshan.
But it's broad daylight, there are so many people around, and these two people have such status, they can't do anything excessive, right?
"You must not know that they came to the palace in the middle of the night riding on the same horse."
Concubine Hui seemed to walk a few steps behind Fuping unintentionally, looking at the fallen flowers and leaves scattered all over the ground, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.
"You didn't lie to me?" When Fuping heard Concubine Hui say that they rode on the same horse, murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but because Concubine Hui was present, she did not take any action.
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Su Yue was snuggling in the Third Prince's arms. The two of them looked very close. That's why I said just now that the Third Prince would definitely give birth to a child faster than Feng'er.
After all, Feng'er hasn't met such a lovely woman yet. Su Yue's status as a legitimate daughter is already worthy of the Third Prince, and now she is a princess of a different surname, so it is natural for her to be a natural thing. I think after the coming-of-age ceremony in two days..."
Concubine Hui spoke eloquently, and her words were like sharp blades, stabbing mercilessly into Fuping's heart.
"That's enough, Concubine Hui. I'm not feeling well. You'd better go back." Fu Ping interrupted Concubine Hui and tightly gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand. The anger in his eyes had reached the edge.
If Concubine Hui hadn't been around, there would have been more destruction.
"Hey, Fuping, since you are not feeling well, I won't bother you anymore. I am old and always talk too much, which is annoying."
Concubine Hui looked at Fuping and naturally sensed her murderous anger. Fuping had always been arrogant and domineering. When she got angry, she didn't care who the other person was. She should leave early.
"That's not true, Concubine Hui. This princess has something to thank you for today." Fu Ping stared at Concubine Hui's departing back, the murderous intent in his eyes no longer concealed.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, she will marry the third prince, right? Then this coming-of-age ceremony will be Su Yue’s funeral!
Fuping raised the sword in his hand and swung it towards the branch of some unknown flower in front of him. The leaves on the branch that had not yet fully grown fell to the ground.
