Evil Flower of the Palace Chapter 21 Re-entering the Palace Original First Release Net
"Do you mean to take advantage of either Da Gong Zhang or Si Gong Zhang?"
Zheng Yunhao stood up and bowed, flattering: "Teacher is wise, the student indeed has such an intention. Rather than taking action himself and arousing suspicion, it's better to use someone else's hands. Even if the truth comes out in the future, we can take the opportunity to get rid of a person who covets the throne. Why not do it?" He paused for a moment, then said seriously: "Although the Fourth Prince is an idiot, he has made no mistakes in the past few years, which shows that there must be a wise person behind him making plans. And the Fourth Prince relies on his mother's noble status and often secretly competes with the Third Prince. Moreover, he is arrogant and cannot bear to be provoked. As long as the student goes to his mansion and tells him about Xia Tian and the Xia sisters entering the palace, and slightly provokes him, I believe the Fourth Prince will not disappoint us. As for whether his target is Xia Yu or Xia Tian, that's none of our business."
"Oh? You think he'll move in summer?"
With a slant of his mouth, Zheng Yunhao sat with one leg crossed over the other, using the tea lid to gently sweep away the floating tea leaves on the surface of the tea soup. He said nonchalantly: "If Xia Tian had died from an assassination attempt in the summer due to inadequate protection by the Third Prince, would Xia Jingting still have followed the Third Prince around and let him order her about? This logic, the Fourth Prince should understand."
"Hmph! Xia Jingting!" Situ Bi gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his smiling face and shouted loudly: "Someone come! Go and call the Temple Master for me. I want to discuss with him the grand wedding of the Fifth Princess. My daughter's marriage must be grand and glorious, it cannot lose to Xia Jingting's family's little servant girl!"
She spent half a month in bed, and the wounds on her body had healed about 70-80%. Her mood was no longer as gloomy as before. She was not a pessimistic person to begin with, and with Xiuniang and Fengli's daily encouragement, she understood that getting angry was only punishing herself, and Yuan Longqiao wouldn't feel any discomfort because of it. Once she figured this out, she immediately let go of her worries.
When the imperial edict arrived, she was lying sideways on the bed learning how to play Go with Feng Liu.
Zhou Song bowed his head and respectfully repeated the imperial edict, seeing Xia Tian's furrowed brow staring at him, he hastily explained: "The palace is not aware of the matter of the princess being injured, Your Highness means that the princess should also not mention this matter again. This time entering the palace is to complete the family ritual, and secondly, General Xia and the various young masters and misses have also been summoned to enter the palace together, so the princess can reunite with her family."
She had to enter the palace again! Xia Tian's face lengthened in despair as she let out a sigh, her last experience of entering the palace was still fresh in her mind. She hated those hypocritical social niceties and the rules that required her to kneel at every turn. But this time, she couldn't refuse because it was an imperial decree from the highest ruler of the feudal class - the Emperor himself. How suffocating!
As I walked out of the hospital gate, a few giggles from women came from the nearby Mo Wang Pavilion, accompanied by the slightly cold voice of Yuan Longqiao.
Zhan Jing bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness is busy with affairs, I will take the lead in escorting the princess into the palace."
The giggles coming from inside the courtyard wall grew louder, as if they were afraid others wouldn't hear them.
In the summer, she pouted. What a nuisance to have things tangled around her body; it should be beautiful women entwined around her instead. She got on the carriage by herself, and didn't care if Rong Yun would accompany her into the palace or not. Not seeing him was for the best, yet he dared to hit her with a board and still didn't want her to speak out about it. Hmph, not letting her speak made her want to say it even more; just watch her tell Father and Big Brother.
As soon as she thought of entering the palace and seeing her father and elder brother, her mood improved a lot.
Xia Yang and Xia Feng rode horses, while Jing Fei, Xia Yu, and Xia Xue shared a carriage. Jing Chu led the guards from the manor to surround the carriage, as they made their way slowly towards the palace.
"Big brother," Xia Feng asked as he rode alongside Xia Yang, "Why must we take such a long detour to enter the palace?"
Her lips were tightly closed, and her eyes, like summer sunshine, gazed straight ahead without a glance sideways.
Seeing the big brother not answering, Xia Shuang felt puzzled but didn't dare to say anything more. In a flash of an eye, a team of people suddenly walked out from the street corner in front, and judging by the luxurious degree of the carriage and the majesty of the attending guards, it was obviously the dignity of the royal palace.
"The horse carriage of Duke Ling's mansion!" Xia Feng was stunned, turning her head to look at Xia Yang.
Xia Yang also noticed, his eyes flashed, he tightened the reins in his hand and kicked the horse's belly with both feet. Without looking back, he made a gesture towards Jing Chu and shouted loudly: "Follow up!"
"Big brother!" Xia Feng reluctantly followed behind him, "Why are we following Xia Tian?"
"Father, let us protect our younger sisters well; isn't Tian Er your sister?"
Xia Feng suddenly asked, "Big brother, didn't you used to dislike Xia Tian too? How come you're so nice to her all of a sudden?"
He gave him a faint glance, and Xiaoyang didn't answer but asked instead: "Do you really understand Tian'er?" The fingers grasping the horse whip turned white due to excessive force, although his face remained calm, his heart was stirred up by Xiafeng's words.
Lagging behind Xia Yang by a few steps, Xia Feng pouted and muttered under her breath: "Who wants to understand her!"
The two teams of horses and carriages moved forward in a majestic manner, the pedestrians on the street were originally scarce, and now they were even more avoiding them. The cloud layer in the sky was very thick, the sun was completely covered, not a single ray of sunlight could be seen. The air pressure was low, making people feel somewhat stifled, misty vapor rose, it looked like a heavy rain was approaching.
Suddenly, a yellow sand rose above the carriage, and the guards instinctively raised their arms to cover their faces. At that moment, a group of masked men holding knives and swords jumped down from the high buildings on both sides of the street, and the team in front of the Ling Wang Fu immediately became chaotic.
"Protect the princess!" Warlord shouted loudly, flying forward and pouncing on the masked assassin who was attacking the carriage with his sword.
