I:"……"

"Princess, don't tease the servants, it's almost time for lunch, but steward Liu will be nagging again..."

It's true that I didn't come here to waste light on this trip—although I did a lot of things that looked like I was wasting light.

The whole government didn't know that I was dying soon, and they were right that I was sick because of my lovesick consort.

Even Uncle Liu persuaded me while scooping up the soup for me: "Princess should eat more and take care of herself, or else the concubine will have to blame the old slave when she comes back."

I chewed ròu, "I will eat it well, so that I can wait for the concubine to come back."

Uncle Liu was so pleased, he turned his head and ordered someone to add more good dishes to the dining room for dinner. Of course he didn't notice that I was bowing my head because he didn't dare to let him see my blurry eyes.

Back in the dormitory, I asked Meng Die and the others to help me change into a green cigarette shirt, and they turned around gracefully and asked them if the princess was graceful and beautiful.

The maids covered their mouths and laughed for a while. I sat at the table where the xylophone was placed, plucked the strings and stroked the piano.

In fact, a long time ago, the nanmuqin in the room was like a decoration. I rarely played it, and Song Langsheng didn't touch it.

It was not until later that we complained to each other in Chenjia Village, and then returned to this mansion. I was sick in bed, and he stroked the qin music for me once.

Although his piano skills are mediocre, and that simple tune is not smooth, but to me, it is simply the sound of heaven.

He turned around after playing the song, saw me grinning and blushing, and hummed, "I said I'm not good at rhythm."

At that time, what I wanted to tell him was that I laughed because I was so happy and so happy.

And now I'm also trying to touch that simple piece of music, and listening to my own music, I can't help but sigh. Sure enough, there are people outside the sky, and there is no one who is the least good at rhythm, only worse.

A few personal maids listened to the song for a while, and they were all unstoppable. I waved my hand to ask them to step back, and they ran away before I finished speaking. Only Xiao Mengdie was left. Seeing her hesitating, I whispered, "Xiao Die, go to the backyard to pick some begonia flowers. This princess wants to take a flower bath at night."

She immediately smiled, "Okay."

Meng Die was young and innocent, so naturally she didn't realize that I was deliberately letting her go.

Not long after she closed the door, someone suddenly lifted the board on the bed. I didn't stop playing the qin and didn't turn my head, I just asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready, princess, it is not advisable to stay here for long."

When I turned around, I saw two people.

One is the father-in-law Cheng Tiezhong next to the prince, and the other is a woman with exactly the same clothes and hair accessories as me.

The figure of the woman was similar to mine, but there were countless scars on her face, so she couldn't see her original appearance clearly.

She hurriedly knelt down when I stood up from the desk.

I was heartbroken.

I asked the prince to help me find a death row prisoner to die for me. I don't want to, this is just a young girl.

I bowed my head and asked her, "You...do you know what you are here for today?"

She nodded slightly.

I sighed, looked at Eunuch Cheng, and asked, "What crime did she commit?"

Chenggong said succinctly and concisely: "The murder of the husband-in-law was originally scheduled to be executed next month."

I felt a chill in my heart and asked her again: "Why did you get such a vicious hand at such a young age?"

The girl's shoulders trembled imperceptibly, and she remained silent for a moment. She didn't answer my question, but said, "I just ask Your Highness to take care of the girl of the people. The girl is willing to die for His Highness."

I didn't ask her anything after all.

Just before stepping into the dark passage, looked back at her figure sitting quietly in front of several cases, listening to her plucking the strings, the strings covered her voice and thought, as if she was complaining about her life and hatred.

A few times things have been satisfactory.

The hardships are hard to come by.

The long steps meander, and at the exit of the secret passage, is the viewing pavilion of the Princess Mansion.

This secret passage was dug by the way when the Princess Mansion was built. The emperor said that if there is any danger, I can use the secret passage to escape.

Who would have thought that the secret escape route would be hidden under the princess' couch?

It's just... I haven't been able to figure out since I was a child, what is the meaning of the secret passage that escaped for a long time or wandered in the princess' mansion? Couldn't the royal father dig out a few more feet?

I supported my forehead and muttered: "It's really because the land price across the street is too high to save money, father and emperor..."

Eunuch Cheng turned his head, "Princess?"

"It's nothing." I followed him to the height of the pavilion and opened the window. The whole view of the Princess Mansion was unobstructed. Can hear the mournful piano sound.

Eunuch Cheng asked, "Princess, can you do it now?"

I stared blankly at the lotus pond outside the bedroom, and remembered that when I was newly married, I dragged Song Langsheng to lie on the rough flat beside the lotus pond to watch the stars, and I also remembered that one night when I returned from amnesia, Song Langsheng took me to reminisce about the past. Those past are vivid in my mind, and I couldn't help but say, "I want to take a last look."

If you don't look, you won't see it anymore.

The crown prince asked me last night, "What is the way to kill two birds with one stone? Huangjie might as well talk about it."

I said lightly: "That is, let me be killed by gunpowder in my own mansion in front of everyone's eyes."

The prince was so shocked that he even threw the heater in his arms to the ground, "Sister Huang! You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Prince, who is in charge of the gunpowder in the entire Kyoto now?"

The prince said, "Shenji Camp."

"If something goes wrong at the Princess Mansion, who will be the first to investigate?"

"Shenji Camp Admiral Wan Yi..." The crown prince opened his mouth, "Imperial sister, you, you are going to put the blame on..."

"It's the blame."

"Yes, but if we don't disturb the Shenji Camp, where can we get gunpowder..."

"Why did the prince forget that there was gunpowder in the secret passage of Jun Jinzhi in the previous dynasty."

The prince was stunned, and he frowned again, "At that time, Wan Yi was very likely to shirk the gunpowder from the folk..."

"According to the Daqing Law, it is forbidden to smuggle gunpowder soldiers such as sulphur, saltpeter, etc. in the workshop. If it is found that the gunpowder did not come from the Shenji camp, then the Jingjing guards the city gate army and Caoyun will inevitably be linked, right?"

"What does Huangjie mean to take this opportunity to replace the Shenji Camp and Caoyun with our people?"

"What do you say?"

The prince showed a clear look, "Then, killing two birds with one stone means..."

"The biggest suspect who was able to lay gunpowder at the Princess' Mansion and disappeared right before the incident, who else could you say?"

The wind outside the window lifted the red and white petals, swirling in the air.

At this moment, the guards of the mansion are patrolling slowly in an orderly manner, and the maids are also busy coming and going. Eunuch Cheng reminded me aloud: "I'm afraid that it will be noticed by others."

I closed my eyes and turned away.

Cheng Gongguan went to the window, reached into his arms and took out a bamboo whistle, softly chirping birds.

Waiting for the sound of "Boom"——

With a scorching hot air entering the building, Eunuch Cheng quickly helped me to withdraw a few steps, the window door of the viewing pavilion was splashed by broken wood and stone chips, and the loud noise shook people's ears. It was buzzing, and I could barely open my eyes.

After an unknown period of silence, the scream of a maid broke the silence, and then the entire mansion fell into panic.

I just came back to my senses, and I couldn't wait to open the window fèng. Thick smoke rose into the air, my vision was blocked by the fireworks, and the air was mixed with the smell of saltpeter.

In the chaos, there were shrill screams from all directions. The clamorous scene only made me feel cold in my heart. With a trembling of my hand, I almost pushed the whole window open to see what happened. Eunuch Cheng stopped my movements. Pressing his voice, he said: "The guards in the mansion will be on full guard and check carefully. If they reveal their feet and let people find out that the princess is here, it will be in vain."

Mourning and moaning sounded one after another, and at a glance through the window, I saw a maid fell to the ground, blood pouring out from her arms and legs. I was drenched in cold sweat. Even though I had already seen that everyone in the manor was in a safe position when I ordered the fire, how could I have not expected to hurt innocent people when I lit the gunpowder?

To get to the bottom of it, he was afraid that people would be suspected by dismissing everyone in advance. He had to deceive himself and tell himself that it was inevitable to make sacrifices for the overall situation.

Heavy pain rushed into my heart, I grabbed my chest, gasping for breath and trying to calm myself down.

It is true that these years in the court, I may not have blood on my hands, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I can't bear the guilt, and I wish I could die immediately.

Eunuch Cheng moved to another window to look out for a while, and said with concentration: "A few people are injured, it seems that there is no danger of their lives, princess, don't worry."

Violent riots continued, and suddenly there was a maid screaming: "Kong, the princess is inside! The princess is inside!"

I immediately heard Mengdie's voice, and immediately, I heard Liu Bo panic and say: "What, what did you say..."

Meng Die was obviously frightened and couldn't hold her breath, "The princess said, yes, to take a petal bath, she asked the slaves to pick flowers, and then..."

"Yes, butler Liu, Xiaocui and I just passed by and heard the princess playing the piano. Why, how could this happen..."

"What about Steward Liu, will the princess already..."

The crying of these maids was full of energy, and it should have not hurt any internal organs.

I breathed a sigh of relief, this relief, was actually a little unsteady, and my hands were propped up on the window sill.

The collapsed palace was lit with fire, and the faces of several people were shocked. The whole house lost the backbone for a while, and they didn't know what to do. Uncle Liu ordered everyone to fill the water to save people while trembling.

After all, this explosive was so powerful that even a few maids in the far corridor were injured, not to mention "I" in the room.

No one dared to imagine what kind of turbulence would be caused when Princess Xiangyi died in her mansion.

I sighed secretly and looked up at the sky, only to feel that the dark clouds were pressing down on the top, and the mountains and rain were coming.

Eunuch Cheng reminded: "Princess, it's time to evacuate here.

I naturally understood that there was no delay, Fang turned his head, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching the house in the distance, followed by a long neighing sound, obviously caused by the horseman's forceful tightening of the reins.

Who is coming?

I couldn't help but turn my head to see what was going on. However, due to the limited angle of the viewing window, I could only hear the footsteps and no one was there, but I saw everyone in the house holding their breath and looking at the direction of the gate, especially theUncle Liu's expression changed, and my heart sank. I had a premonition, but I couldn't believe it. In the next instant, a familiar voice came into my ears: "Fuzhong... what happened?"

Chapter 44

This voice came from a nightmare. My heart seemed to be gripped by something, and I almost stumbled. The father-in-law beside me quickly supported me with his eyes and hands. Finally, there was no movement, but I heard my own wild heartbeat.

The eyes were blurred, don't know if it was because of the smoke still lingering or the tears gushing out, until walked into the garden in a blue shadow, everything became clear again, the man's face was extremely handsome, his temples were cut like a knife, it was such a moment., Gu Panjian still makes people unable to look away.

He stopped in front of Uncle Liu, only to hear Uncle Liu thumping down on his knees, his face pale and said: "Consort!
