Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the air. She suddenly opened her eyes and knocked Hui Xiang out before hurriedly walking out of the courtyard.
”Come out!”
Shangguan Jingyan coldly said as he stood in the courtyard and glanced at the rooftop.
Her current ice-cold appearance was no longer the gentle and graceful young lady of the day, but the Dark Queen who carried a trace of killing intent.
”Mistress, this is a red flower, a pill that can cause miscarriages.”
A woman wearing black clothes stood in front of her. She was about the same age as her, and respectfully handed over the thing in her hands to Shangguan Jingyan.
Under the dim moonlight, he could clearly see the butterfly imprint on her face tremble from her breathing as she spoke, as if it was dancing on her face.
”Die Yi, feed these red flowers to Madame Zhao and Madame Li. Then, find a couple of passable homeless people to dress up and throw them on their beds. Even the princess had not passed, how could he give birth to an elder son? Isn't this slapping me in the face? Are you mocking evil? ”
Shangguan Jingyan took a step forward, grabbed the black clothed female's clothes, and said fiercely.
There was unwillingness and anger in her voice.
The moonlight shone on her face. Her face was distorted by anger. It was extremely horrifying.
”Yes sir!”
The black-clothed woman calmly replied. She gently pushed away her hand and disappeared into the moonlight.
After she left, Shangguan Jingyan stood in the courtyard and blew in the cold wind for a good long while before he slowly returned to his room.
The next day, another matter happened in the Crown Prince's Palace:
Having been in the mansion for two years, Madame Zhao and Madame Li could no longer bear the loneliness of the crown prince going out and secretly stole people from their own courtyards.
Early in the morning, the imperial physician, the esteemed empress dowager, ordered the main concubine of the crown prince's estate, as well as the other wives, to examine their bodies. They coincidentally discovered this matter.
Moreover, the two ladies had been pregnant for several months without knowing who the father of the child was. He even drank red flowers and other forbidden medicines, all for the sake of hiding the dirty and ugly things.
This action infuriated Her Majesty.
Lady Zhao and Lady Li were given to death on the spot, and the family members of the court officials were stripped of their duties. It was as if the hatred in her heart had been resolved.
After all, the two of them were doing something that would shame the royal family.
Killing a chicken to make an example of a monkey, Her Majesty did this as a warning to those who had ill intentions and were ready to make a move.
In the Imperial Palace, Situ Lan quietly listened to his personal palace maid report everything.
”He really isn't an easy target, he's a good craftsman!”
Situ Lan took a sip of the good quality chrysanthemum tea, and slowly stood up as gloomy as a dead pool, and passed the letter in his hand to his personal palace maid.
”Give the letter to princess, I think she'll like the present I gave her.”
Under the support of the palace maids, Situ Lan carefully walked toward the walls.
Shangguan Jingyan, if you want to stabilize the position of Empress, then it will depend on how you handle your so-called friendship.
Situ Lan suddenly raised a shining dagger, closed his eyes and threw it towards the lady on the map.
The next moment, he saw a knife sticking out of the woman's map. It was emitting a chilling aura.
He looked at the knife as if he had just seen the woman's face.
A spot of red appeared between his brows as the Plum Blossom Meet unfolded.
Now that he had vividly drawn the unique temperament of this woman from the Western Regions, it was as if she was a fairy descended from heaven and mistakenly entered the mortal world.
The dagger was neither too far away nor too close to the woman's forehead. It just so happened to be stabbed into the delicate and beautiful Plum Blossom between her eyebrows. Everything about it seemed strange and out of place.
In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Jingyan bid farewell to his parents, and quickly galloped towards the Southern Frontier on his horse.
On the official road leading to Cloud Mist Mountain, the mountain roads were rugged and dangerous. Below them was the endless dead sea. It was dark and gloomy, making one's heart palpitate with fear.
A carriage with a body of the same size as theirs hurriedly pressed against the ground and moved like a gust of wind, causing a lot of dust to splash up and cover the eyes of the passing cars.
”Woman, don't you have a sharp tongue and a cold heart? You must hate me for hurting you like this, and want to kill me, don't you? ”You must endure it. If you want to kill or cut me, do as you say!”
Although the mountain road was rugged and unstable, it didn't affect the carriage in the slightest.
Jun Mohan hugged the pale Bai Zhixi tightly and spoke softly.
His entire body shivered as he leaned on Bai Zhixi's shoulder and sighed in pain, as if he was struggling to pull it out from the depths of his soul.
Bright tears rolled in his eyes, and then big, round, shiny tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto his mouth, chest, and carriage.
