These words completely angered Ye Chonghua, with a furious look in his eyes, like boiling magma in a deep well. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were filled with strong murderous intent: "Princess Yaohua? I think it's not worth exchanging a city for her. What's the use of being the most beautiful woman in the world? It's just a facade."
After saying that, as if it was not enough, he glanced at the emperor's sullen face and continued: "My Wu'er is worth a million dollars, how can she be compared with her? Besides, the person I have chosen does not need other people's words to influence him! Your Majesty is overthinking today. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
After saying that, he walked out of the palace door and left, leaving the emperor alone with a sullen face, not knowing how to get angry. If it weren't for the fact that it was not the time to make enemies with Xiling Kingdom, he would not be able to bear this anger! He sighed and whispered, "Yaohua, have you given up?"
After the ceremony, Yaohua's body trembled slightly, and her face looked very ugly. It turned out that she was so unbearable in his heart. Ye Chonghua's words made her heart twitch suddenly, as if a very thin and sharp needle had pierced her heart unexpectedly, and she was almost dying of pain. This man she liked and admired actually regarded her princess as a piece of grass! She hated and was angry. All of this was caused by Ouyang Wu, this bitch! At this time, Yaohua only felt that a breath was pressing on her chest, which made her chest hurt. She pulled the bright yellow curtain in front of her like crazy, and she didn't regain her sanity until she was yelled at by the emperor.
Ouyang Wu, why, this woman who was inferior to herself in every way, why did Ye Chonghua be so devoted to her!
Yaohua clenched her palms tightly, and her nails were deeply embedded in them without knowing it. After a moment of shock, she threw away her sleeves and ran to the queen's palace sobbing.
The newly made snacks in the imperial kitchen looked very good. The queen slowly twisted a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted very good. "Come here, has the princess tasted this snack?" As soon as the voice fell, Yaohua ran in from outside the palace, her face was like pear blossoms falling in the rain. The queen hurried forward and asked, "Yaohua, what are you doing?"
Yaohua cried and told the whole story. The queen was silent for a moment, sighed, and reached out to touch Princess Yaohua's face. Her expression was also extremely helpless: "Things have come to this point, and there is nothing we can do, unless..."
"Unless what?" Yaohua seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, her eyes widened.
"Unless Ouyang Wu... died!" The queen said in a deep voice.
Yes! Ouyang Wu really deserved to die. Princess Yaohua's face flashed with a hint of anger, and jealousy devoured her heart like a poisonous snake. Ouyang Wu was her nemesis, and she must make her die!
During the days before getting married, Ouyang Wu had a very leisurely life. Recently, no one knew what Ouyang Liu was thinking. Every time he saw her, he looked kind and smiling like a typical loving father. He wanted to reconcile with her!
Ouyang Liu has now accepted the fact that Ouyang Wu is about to marry Ye Chonghua. After all, Ouyang Wu is his daughter, and he will be Ye Chonghua's father-in-law in the future, which will naturally bring countless benefits.
Ouyang Wu doesn't like this powerful father, but with this father's care, she is much better at home, and has been living a leisurely and comfortable life for several days.
Lantern Festival, after dinner, Ah Xiu came to Ouyang Wu and said hesitantly: "Miss, today is the Lantern Festival. There are many beautiful lanterns on the street outside. Miss, don't you want to go out and take a look?"
Ouyang Wu looked at Ah Xiu and sneered: "You girl, if you want to go, just say so directly. Why do you have to drag me?"
A Xiu scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "It's really beautiful!"
"Okay, just after dinner, I'll take you out for a walk!"
It was the first time that Ouyang Wu saw such a lively scene on the street after crossing here. The lights were on, and there was a sound of stringed instruments and laughter from the restaurants along the street. Officials, businessmen, literati, and peddlers all gathered here, and there were guessing games, singing songs and drinking. On the corridor and bridge, everywhere you look, there are beautiful lanterns of various shapes, and all kinds of goods show their beauty in the dim lights.
The streets were full of various lanterns, which were very beautiful. There were also handsome men and beautiful women showing affection under the lanterns. Ouyang Wu watched with interest. Such scenes were not so grand in modern times.
Ouyang Wu was very curious about everything around her. She heard a stall owner shouting again, and walked over quickly. The stall was full of lanterns. Unlike the exquisite lanterns of modern times, these were much rougher in hand-making, but they were covered with a layer of turbid halo under the warm light. Ouyang Wu took a lantern and looked at it. She couldn't help but smile, and was a little confused, just like the colorful stars in the blurred night sky, and it seemed like another reincarnation.
There were too many people on the street. Not long after, Ouyang Wu and A Xiu were squeezed apart. Ouyang Wu was not in a hurry. She thought that A Xiu would go back to the prime minister's house first if she couldn't find her, so she slowly walked to the other end of the market with the crowd. The various lanterns and riddles made Ouyang Wu very happy. She was a little tired from shopping, so she sat down at a tea stand on the street and ordered a pot of tea. Just as she picked up the teacup, she heard Ah Xiu's scream from afar: "Miss!"
Ouyang Wu only felt a flash of cold light in front of her, and a masked man in black fell from the sky. As his wrist flew, a dagger with cold light suddenly appeared in front of her. It was so fast. Ouyang Wu was about to dodge, and vaguely saw a black shadow approaching. Ouyang Wu's originally tense nerves inexplicably relaxed, and she sat calmly in the same place without moving.
A figure stood in front of her coldly, with hair flying wildly in the dark night. It was Xia Chonghua who saved Ouyang Wu like a god. In the dark night, the curve of his chin was perfect as if it was carved, with his thin and cool red lips and his black hair flying in the wind, which made him extremely charming and violent. Before Ouyang Wu could react, he saw a flash of cold light. The enemy's dagger had reached Ye Chonghua's hand. In a moment, he had cut the opponent's right hand tendons. He saw a flash of blood and the man howled sharply.
The surroundings were originally very lively, but they were scared to run away when they saw this scene. For a while, the surroundings were silent, the cold wind blew, and the blood was scattered with the wind.
Ye Chonghua has always been a cruel man. He held a dagger in his hand, and the cold light reflected the cold moonlight. Ouyang Wu saw the light dim, and the masked man in front of him had fallen to the ground, blood gushing out of his throat, and the screams stopped abruptly.
Ouyang Wu looked at the imposing man in front of her. He was covered with a solemn murderous aura. His eyes were sharp and deep, steady and cold. There seemed to be thousands of cold pools in his starry eyes, which made people shudder. "They must be alive!" He spoke lightly and ordered his men. The killers around were quickly cleared by Ye Zhonghua. They were probably taken there for a lecture. Ye Zhonghua looked at his princess. When faced with danger, there was no trace of timidity on his face. His white jade-like face looked even more red under the moonlight. His eyes under his long eyelashes were like water in an ancient well, emitting a sparkling and cold light. He suddenly got angry and frowned. He spoke to her seriously with a strong reproach in his tone: "Ouyang Wu, don't you know to hide when you encounter danger!"
"With you here, how can I be in danger?" Ouyang Wu blurted out, and then she was embraced in an embrace. She was stunned for a moment, and Ye Zhonghua's arms held her tightly like iron clamps. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Ouyang Wu deeply, and then a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his red lips exuded a radiant luster: "It seems that my princess trusts me very much!"
Ouyang Wu was speechless, bumping into his smiling narrow and long phoenix eyes, and couldn't help but lower her head: "Since there is a free shield, why don't I use it?"
Ye Zhonghua laughed softly, his voice was as gentle and pleasant as mellow wine, and he kissed Ouyang Wu on the forehead: "Naughty."
Ouyang Wu wanted to break free from Ye Zhonghua's restraints, but he held her so tightly. Ouyang Wu moved around, and she heard Ye Zhonghua approaching her ear and breathing like orchids: "If you move again, I don't know what I will do."
At this moment, a man in blue came over and stood far away. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to approach to disturb Ye Zhonghua and the princess. He looked miserable and panicked. Ouyang Wu turned her face away: "Your people are coming."
Ye Zhonghua had a trace of anger on his face, but he still called the people over. The man in blue whispered something in his ear, and Ye Zhonghua responded and waved him away.
Ye Zhonghua lowered his head and whispered in Ouyang Wu's ear, saying intimately: "I've been a little bored these days, Wu'er, do you want to accompany me to watch a play?"
Ouyang Wu understood a little bit in his heart, and chuckled: "Your Majesty is confused? Watching a play is naturally more lively with more people." After saying that, he looked up and smiled at Ye Zhonghua.
Jinghua Palace.
The woman on the bed was clearly asleep, but her face had an extremely terrifying look. Her delicate eyebrows were wrinkled, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
In the dream, Ye Zhonghua, dressed in black, held a scarlet sword in his hand. The tip of the dazzling silver-white sword was dripping with dark red blood. The blood dripped down hotly. Such a handsome man was full of murderous intent, and his beautiful starry eyes were as cold as ice. "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person!" After saying that, he stabbed the sword straight into Yaohua's heart. "No!" With a cry of surprise, Princess Yaohua opened her eyes wide and stood up suddenly, only to find that it was just a dream. She took a soft brocade handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on her face and neck, touched her warm face, and made sure that she was still alive, and then patted her chest: "Fortunately, it's just a dream." "The princess slept so sweetly, but..." The sudden cold voice startled Yaohua, and she turned her head and met a pair of cold eyes. The bright moonlight poured down, and Ye Zhonghua stood in front of the window in a black dress. The faint moonlight reflected on his delicate and flawless face, making him look particularly thrilling. Seeing that Yaohua had seen him, he continued, "It's just that this servant is pitiful." Following his gaze, Princess Yaohua suddenly found a person hanging on the beam in the room. This person was in a very embarrassed state. After careful identification, she found that it was the personal guard she sent out in the morning. Yaohua narrowed her eyes slightly, pulled up the quilt, and pretended to be calm and said, "Who is this? This princess doesn't know him. But the prince, visiting late at night is harmful to this princess's reputation, and the prince should think twice." "Hehe, this person wants to assassinate this king's princess, so he must not be forgiven lightly. Whoever dares to touch my Wu'er will be returned tenfold or a hundredfold!" At the end, the voice was extremely cold, and after speaking, he waved at the man in blue who had been standing beside him. As if receiving an order, the man in blue slowly took out an exquisite dagger from his arms. It emitted a cold light in the moonlight and looked very sharp.
The man in blue walked to the side of the hanging secret guard, and the sharp dagger slowly approached the arm that was exposed because the hand was tied up. The dagger slowly approached the skin, and with a little force, the blade sank into it, tilted slightly, and slowly cut off a piece of flesh. The hanging secret guard suddenly opened his eyes, cried out softly, and his gray lips trembled.
Yaohua looked at the scene in front of her, her face was pale, her face was pale, and her whole body shook violently.
This is the legendary Lingchi, cutting off the flesh of a person one by one, causing the person to die slowly and painfully. It is extremely cruel. Although this punishment has existed since ancient times, very few people have actually used it, let alone seen it with their own eyes.
The blue-clothed man continued his movements. The suspended guard's humming became louder and louder. His body in the air kept struggling, trying to avoid the sharp blade, but the dagger followed him like a poisonous snake. This scene was very desperate. His arm was instantly reduced to a white skeleton. Screams, the sound of blood dripping on the floor, and the smell of blood filled the entire room. The guard struggled more and more, and his movements became more and more intense. Suddenly, with a ding, a piece of metal fell out of the guard's arms. The blue-clothed man paused his movements, picked up the object on the ground, and walked towards Ye Zhonghua. Yaohua, who was hiding in the corner of the bed, turned pale when she saw the token. Ye Chonghua took the token, and the smile on his face became more playful: "It is said that Princess Yaohua of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is unparalleled in talent and beauty. The Eastern Jin Emperor loves her very much. In order to ensure her safety, he specially trained a group of secret guards to protect the princess. These secret guards usually hide among the servants and servants. No one knows except the princess, but..." Ye Chonghua smiled evilly, "These secret guards must carry a token with the token engraved..." Ye Chonghua said while playing with the token in his hand. At this point, he pointed the token to the moonlight, and there was a word "Dong", "Dong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" Yaohua's head was buzzing. No one except his father knew about the secret guards. Why did Ye Chonghua know so much? Yaohua looked up, but met Ye Chonghua's cold face. The eyes that slanted at the whole world seemed to be looking at a criminal who could not hide. Yaohua felt a chill in her heart, and the tears she had just held back flowed out uncontrollably. She sobbed, "What's so good about Ouyang Wu? Is she worthy of your help like this? Oh, do you think I'm vicious? How good is your Ouyang Wu? It was she who caused her sister Ouyang Ying to be disfigured and crazy, and Ouyang Xiu to lose her innocence. She is the woman with a vicious heart!"
"Oh? Princess really thinks too highly of me. I'm just the fifth young lady of the Ouyang family who has no power and is not valued. How can I have such ability?" The sudden female voice made Yaohua shudder suddenly. Looking for the voice, she found Ouyang Wu sitting on a chair hidden in the dark.
Ouyang Wu slowly stood up, her eyes were calm and indifferent, like a butterfly fluttering in the night. She walked to the bed, approached the princess and whispered: "My eldest brother is responsible for the beauty of the fourth sister. As for who destroyed the innocence of the third sister, I think no one knows it better than the princess!"
"Ouyang Wu, stop pretending."
Ouyang Wu looked at her quietly: "Princess, aren't you curious why the man who sent the carriage hasn't returned yet?"
Princess Yaohua suddenly realized that she had been angry that the matter had not been successful, but she really didn't pay attention to whether the servant had returned. Could it be?
Princess Yaohua glanced at the dying secret guard hanging in the middle of the room, shuddered, and asked in a lost voice: "What did you do to him?"
"Just want them to tell us who ordered it!"
Princess Yaohua looked up at Ouyang Wu and Ye Chonghua not far away, and felt that they were as scary as ghosts. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she shouted to the surroundings: "Come! Come quickly! There is an assassin! Come!"
The tightly closed door was knocked open with a bang. Yaohua looked at the door with expectation, but her eyes dimmed instantly when she saw the people coming in, "Why are you?"
"Princess, it's you! It's you!" Ouyang Xiu's eyes were wide open, her face was pale, she ran forward like a madman, yelling at the top of her lungs, wishing she could strangle Princess Yaohua to death. She frantically pulled Princess Yaohua's hair and tore her clothes, like an angry lion. Princess Yaohua kept yelling, and even a small tuft of hair was pulled out. She grabbed Yaohua's arms and asked with sobs, "Why, why, you vicious woman!"
Ouyang Xiu's words finally defeated Yaohua. She angrily broke free from the arms that were holding her, pushed Ouyang Xiu to the ground, and asked harshly: "It's all because of you, stupid woman. If it weren't for you, would Ouyang Wuhui be standing here? Would this princess's plan fail? It's all because of you, stupid woman! You are not good enough to do things, but you are more likely to cause trouble!"
Sun, who was following behind Ouyang Xiu, saw that her daughter was not only pushed to the ground, but also insulted like this. Her blood was boiling instantly. She no longer cared about the nobility and reserve of a woman. She stepped forward and pointed at Yaohua's nose and cursed: "So you are so vicious, so crazy!"
Yaohua looked at them with contempt: "You are really stupid mother and daughter."
"You! Good, good, it is true that like mother, like daughter, and only a woman as vicious as the queen can give birth to a daughter like you!"
"Oh? Sun Jin'er, I am curious about how vicious I am?" As the voice sounded, the queen hurried in from outside the door. Originally, she was worried about Yaohua's condition during the day, and she came to see Yaohua when she got up at night because she had some insomnia. She never thought that she would run into such a side.
Sun saw that it was the queen, and she shrank a little. When she looked down and saw Ouyang Xiu sobbing on the ground, the last bit of fear in her heart disappeared. Her daughter was in her prime, and could have had a good marriage, bringing honor to the family, but Princess Yaohua ruined it! She seemed to have found a reason, and said regardless: "Queen, do you still remember the birth mother of Prince Huai'an, Concubine Ning?" After saying that, she looked at the Queen's pale face and said proudly: "Queen, in order to gain the emperor's exclusive favor, you caused chaos in the harem, taught the concubines witchcraft, made them jealous of each other, killed each other, and even harmed their offspring. Concubine Ning was almost destroyed in your hands!"
"Where is she now?" The Queen asked in a lost voice.
"What? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." "How dare you, Sun Jin'er, don't act so disgusting. You are the same. Back then, Ouyang Liu and Yang were very affectionate. You just used all your tricks and seductive magic to marry into the Ouyang family because Ouyang Liu smiled at you. After entering the mansion, you even seduced Ouyang Liu and harmed Yang. Thinking of Yang's tragic death, I feel cold. What's more, after Yang's death, you also..." The queen paused, glanced at Ouyang Wu leaning against the window, and continued: "You also robbed all her dowry, making her daughter live a miserable life. "You are not worthy of being the mother of the country!"
"What qualifications do you have to be the mistress of the Xiangfu?"
"Shut up!"
"You are the one who shut up!" Sun and the queen shouted together, but found that the one who just shouted "shut up" was not the other, so they turned their heads together. When they saw the person at the door, their faces turned pale and they fell to the ground. Their bodies trembled and rose and fell violently: "Your Majesty..."
In addition to the emperor with a livid face, Ouyang Liu also looked very ugly standing at the door. Ouyang Liu, who had received the imperial edict from the palace, looked at the miserable situation in front of him with a little confusion. This did not seem like the queen summoned him. Who was the person who issued the imperial edict?
The emperor was also puzzled: "Queen, is this what you and Yaohua asked me to see tonight? I didn't expect that my offspring in the past few years would be destroyed by you, a vicious woman!" After saying that, he ignored the obviously confused queen and Yaohua, and looked around the room. When he saw the hanging secret guards, even the emperor, who had seen too much killing, couldn't help but feel a little cold: "Ye Feibai, how dare you commit murder in the palace?"
Ye Chonghua replied sarcastically: "My Wu'er almost died in the hands of this man. Ask your precious princess. I didn't impose this slow slicing punishment on your daughter. It has given you a great face for the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
He was the king of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. No one had ever spoken to him like this. His face was extremely ugly and he was so angry that he almost fainted. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Sun take the opportunity to say, "Princess Yaohua sent someone to insult my daughter. Please, Your Majesty, take charge!"
"Who made her so stupid to come here..." Yaohua wanted to say more, but she saw the emperor's eyes stern and he shouted angrily. The queen pulled her hand, "Yaohua!"
Princess Yaohua knelt down reluctantly and said aggrievedly, "Father, I know I was wrong."
The emperor, who wanted to explode, felt powerless. He looked at Yaohua, who was trembling behind the queen. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and she looked panicked. She looked very embarrassed. This daughter who was once the most beloved was actually so cruel. Not only did she commit crimes rashly, but she was also caught in the act. It was just like what Ye Feibai said, she was just a show.
The emperor stroked his forehead: "I have always loved you and wanted to keep you for a few more years, but I didn't expect you to do such a mistake! Come, take the princess back to Jinghua Palace. You are not allowed to take a step out within three months, and your salary will be fined for one year." He paused, and seeing that Ye Feibai was not satisfied at all, he continued after a moment: "General Sun has repeatedly said that his son Sun Yaoyang has admired you for a long time. I think it's time to marry you off. You will stay in Jinghua Palace for three months, and choose a date to get married after three months!" I think Sun Yaoyang can treat Yaohua better! Sun didn't like Yaohua marrying her nephew, but when she saw Princess Yaohua's pale face, she felt infinite malice in her heart. She didn't want her daughter to have an easy life, and she didn't want Princess Yaohua to have an easy life either, so she bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty is wise, I thank you for your grace on behalf of my nephew Yaoyang!"
Princess Yaohua glanced at Ouyang Wu on the side, and a trace of viciousness flashed across her face. Thinking of Sun Yaoyang as an unlearned and unskilled playboy, her face became uglier, and her long fingers sunk into her palm.
"Your Majesty..." The queen wanted to plead for mercy, but she stopped when she saw the emperor's gloomy face.
"Hmph, Queen, I thought you had done a lot of good things in presiding over the harem for many years, but I didn't expect that you were the one who caused trouble for the harem for many years. From now on, you will go to the cold palace to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha." Thinking of her children who she had never met, she continued: "You must not take another step in your lifetime!"
The queen felt dizzy when she heard the words, and fainted in Yaohua's arms.
"Mother! Father, mother..."
"Just do your own thing, no need to say more!"
Princess Yaohua was almost going crazy, and glared at Ouyang Wu who was acting like nothing had happened. It was all caused by Ouyang Wu, the bitch, but she was shocked by Ye Feibai's cold eyes.
Ye Feibai walked forward slowly, curled his lips slightly, "Don't you want to know where Wu'er is better than you? I will tell you, you are not as good as Wu'er in all aspects, but there is only one thing that I appreciate the most, that is your..." The smile on the corner of his lips deepened, "Stupid."
Yaohua fell to the ground in a state of dismay, and all the strength in her body was drained. Seeing this, the emperor said, "Come here, send the queen and the princess to where they should go." After coughing, he relaxed his expression, smiled at Ouyang Wu, and said, "Is Wu'er frightened?"
Ouyang Wu smiled faintly: "No, but..."
"But what?"
Ouyang Wu glanced at Sun who was standing beside Ouyang Xiu, and raised her lips with a hint of sarcasm: "The emperor has already known that my mother had a hard life. Now that she has passed away, as a daughter, I don't want my mother's dowry to fall into the hands of others."
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Ouyang Liu and Sun, both of whom looked unnatural, and said loudly: "Of course!"
Sun was trembling all over, but what could she do? This was the emperor's will! It seems that she can only find the Sun Mansion to raise the money.
Since Sun Yaoyang learned that the emperor agreed to his marriage with Princess Yaohua, his face was flushed with excitement.
He could hardly believe that he would have such good luck-the most beautiful woman and the most noble person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was about to become his wife. He was in high spirits all day long, and when he went out to have fun, he boasted to his friends, feeling that he had earned enough face. For a while, the Sun Mansion became the new nobles in the capital. In recent days, many people who heard the news came to visit with gifts to curry favor with him. Sun Yaoyang was very proud of this, and the whole Sun Mansion felt proud.
The emperor ordered Sun Yaoyang to come to the palace to discuss marriage matters. It was almost noon when all the matters were discussed.
Just as Sun Yaoyang was about to leave the palace, he saw a maid in pink clothes blocking him: "Mr. Sun, the princess is waiting for you, please follow me."
This maid was Xintian beside Yaohua, and she looked very respectful. Although Sun Yaoyang was about to become a prince consort, he still dared not violate the etiquette. Without Princess Yaohua's summons, he could never make his own decisions. Now that she knew that she was summoned by the princess, she was overjoyed, with a deep smile on her face, her eyes almost narrowed, and her appearance inevitably added a bit of vulgarity. Xintian looked at Sun Yaoyang's expression and frowned slightly. Such a man was too frivolous. I don't know how different he was from Ye Feibai, whom Princess Yaohua had been thinking about!
After being confined to Jinghua Palace, Princess Yaohua had some expectations at first. The emperor loved her so much, how could he bear to punish her, how could he marry her to a dandy like Sun Yaoyang. But what she didn't know was that the emperor was afraid of Ye Chonghua, and hated the queen who harmed his children, and now he loved this beloved daughter less.
The longer Princess Yaohua stayed in Jinghua Palace, the more her patience was gradually worn out, and her resentment towards Ouyang Wu was even deeper. She was unwilling to accept that her life was ruined by Ouyang, and she was unwilling to marry a man like Sun Yaoyang. Resentment seemed to be poisoned, growing in her heart for a long time, and at the same time a poisonous plan slowly emerged in her heart.
Princess Yaohua sent Xintian to summon Sun Yaoyang. She couldn't leave the palace now, and there were some things she couldn't do by herself, but Sun Yaoyang could. She knew from Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Ying that there was some discord between Sun Yaoyang and Ouyang Wu. Now Sun Yaoyang was the best chess piece in her hand, and she could use Sun Yaoyang to help her complete this matter.
When Sun Yaoyang arrived at Jinghua Palace, he saw Princess Yaohua standing under the peach tree, leaving him a graceful and tempting back. The peach blossoms on her head were blooming, full and bright. Sun Yaoyang stood behind her without moving, and called out with a chuckle: "Princess."
Princess Yaohua frowned in annoyance when she heard Sun Yaoyang calling her, and a sneer appeared on her lips. She quickly restrained her expression, stroked her bun, and turned around. Princess Yaohua has willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and she looks bright and beautiful. She has a high bun and a jade hairpin, which emits a soft luster in the sun. The apricot-colored silk skirt is tied high to the waist and drags to the ground. The bright skirt is tied with jade nine dragon coral and white jade rings, which further reflects her graceful and elegant demeanor. Her expression seems leisurely, but she frowns with three points of sorrow, which makes people feel pity.
Even though he is used to seeing beauties, Sun Yaoyang can't help but be infatuated, and sighs in his heart: She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Just one glance makes people feel a desire. He thought that this beauty will be in his... Thinking of this, Sun Yaoyang couldn't help but chuckle.
Princess Yaohua saw Sun Yaoyang's rat eyes staring at her, looking her up and down, and she was startled wherever his eyes went. Although Yaohua knew what kind of person Sun Yaoyang was, she felt that he was even more wretched when she saw him today, and his eyes were very obscene. Father, oh father, how cruel are you to marry me to the beast Sun Yaoyang?
When Yaohua thought of this, she couldn't help but think of Yeye Feibai's cold eyes and Ouyang Wu, whom he tried his best to protect. Yes, all this is because of Ouyang Wu! Yaohua looked at the wretched Sun Yaoyang in front of her, feeling desperate and angry at the same time. Ouyang Wu, since I am not living well, then you can't live comfortably either!
Thinking of this, Yaohua put away the contemptuous look on her face and sneered at Sun Yaoyang: "How dare you! If you look at me like this again, I will dig out your eyes!"
"The princess is so beautiful that she can topple a country. I just, just..."
Yaohua felt sick after hearing this and turned away before continuing: "Okay, I don't lack compliments. Speaking of topple a country, what do you think of your fifth cousin? I heard from Ying'er that you have some feelings for Ouyang Wu and once wanted to marry her. Is this true?"
Sun Yaoyang didn't know why Yaohua asked this question, and he didn't see any clues after carefully observing her expression. However, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she waved her hand and said: "That's Ying'er's nonsense. Although Ouyang Wu is a little beautiful, she is not as good as the princess. She can't be compared with the princess. With such a beautiful wife like the princess, how can I have any improper thoughts about her." After saying this, her face was full of flattering smiles.
Yaohua glanced at him calmly and sneered, "This princess is so generous, but you don't appreciate it. Which man in this world doesn't want three wives and four concubines? If you don't agree, then don't take concubines in the future." Sun Yaoyang was a little stunned when he heard this. Which man doesn't want three wives and four concubines? Sun Yaoyang has always been a pervert. The princess is beautiful, but thinking that she will be the only woman in the future, he actually feels a little disappointed. He thought of Ouyang Wu's beauty and her arrogant little appearance, and his heart seemed to be tickled by something. Sun Yaoyang smiled awkwardly: "If the princess agrees, I will be very happy! But..."
Princess Yaohua glanced at him, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of ambiguity: "But what?"
Sun Yaoyang hesitated for a moment before saying: "But my little cousin is very powerful, she naturally does not agree to marry me!"
"You are a man, but you can't do anything to a woman? Oh, the women in this world are most afraid of..." Yaohua turned to meet Sun Yaoyang's eyes, and said the most vicious words in the most plain tone, "*!"
Sun Yaoyang suddenly raised his head and hesitated: "What does the princess mean?"
Yaohua looked at the mountains in the distance and smiled unpredictably.
As long as Sun Yaoyang and Ouyang Wu's affair was exposed, Ouyang Wu's innocence would be destroyed, and Sun Yaoyang would not be able to become her own son-in-law. This is a great plan to kill two birds with one stone!
Ouyang Wu has been a little depressed since she parted with Ye Chonghua that day. Days passed, and the wedding date was getting closer and closer, but she still hadn't figured out a way to escape, and Xiao Qilin had no reaction. Ye Chonghua sent a large number of secret guards to protect her, so she really couldn't escape.
Ouyang Wu shook her head helplessly. If she had known, she would not have saved him.
A Xiu watched the young lady stay in the room alone and fiddle with medicine. Seeing that she was always depressed, she thought she had fallen in love with Ye Chonghua because she hadn't seen him for a few days.
Ouyang Wu smiled helplessly: "A Xiu, what do you think?"
A Xiu widened her eyes: "Isn't it? The second prince of Ye is the most handsome person I have ever seen. Every time the young lady is in danger, he always stands in front of you!"
Ouyang Wu shook her head: "Okay, the weather looks good today, let's go out for a walk."
"That's right! If you go out more often, you may run into the second prince of Ye."
Ouyang Wu's lips curled up with a helpless smile: "A Xiu, do you feel that you have been very noisy recently?"
The spring is warm, Ouyang Wu lazily got up and stretched her body casually. Ouyang Ying and Ouyang Xiu have not come to trouble her recently. She is really living a leisurely life. She picked up a peach blossom and played with it in her hand.
A Xiu followed Ouyang Wu, the sun shone on her face, her skin was almost transparent, with a cleanness like the spring sunshine, pure and flawless without any vicissitudes. Her eyes were calm and peaceful, as if she didn't care about anything, and as if she knew everything. A Xiu looked at her obsessively, the fifth lady was really different.
But if she wanted to say what was really different, she couldn't say it. In short, as long as the young lady was around, she felt that she didn't have to be afraid of anything.
The two of them walked around for a while, and Ah Xiu said, "Miss, are you hot? Is the sun a bit strong?"
"Miss, are you tired?"
"Miss, are you thirsty?"
Ah Xiu kept chattering around Ouyang Wu: "I should have taken a carriage earlier!"
Ouyang Wu sighed: "Ah Xiu, you talk too much. I wonder if your husband's ears will grow calluses if you get married."
Ah Xiu blushed and stamped her feet: "Miss..."
"Hehe, I'm sorry." Seeing Ah Xiu was embarrassed, Ouyang Wu stopped teasing her. She glanced at Yipinxuan across the street, and smiled at Ah Xiu: "Ah Xiu, you must be tired. How about we go to Yipinxuan for a pot of tea?"
Ah Xiu continued to stamp her feet: "Miss, I obviously don't think so, why do you always misinterpret my meaning!"
Ouyang Wu asked for a private room and a pot of tea. She poured tea for herself and Ah Xiu. Ah Xiu was somewhat flattered. Ouyang Wu said, "Ah Xiu, you must be thirsty after talking so much. Drink more."
Ah Xiu hummed, "Miss, you just know how to tease me!"
Ah Xiu might be really thirsty. She gulped down a cup. Ouyang Wu looked at her drinking like a cow and felt helpless. Such good tea was really ruined by her. Ouyang Wu took a sip of the teacup and suddenly felt someone coming in. When she looked up, she met a pair of smiling phoenix eyes, as bright and beautiful as fireworks in March, touching her heartstrings.
"Wu'er is in a good mood. How can you have time to drink tea?" Ye Chonghua was dressed in simple and elegant clothes. His dark vertical hair was shining with a faint luster, which made his skin, like mutton-fat jade, look more delicate and shiny. The line of his chin was as arrogant and cold as an aristocrat. His every move revealed a natural kingly domineering aura, with an irresistible natural and elegant charm. He sat down in front of Ouyang Wu. Ah Xiu, who was standing beside him, was shocked and stunned. She stood up hastily, bowed and left.
Ouyang Wu suddenly felt that Ah Xiu was just a jinx. Whatever she said was true. She didn't want to see Ye Chonghua at all. She didn't want to get involved with him too much. The more she talked, the more trouble she would have!
Ye Chonghua poured himself a cup of tea. Seeing Ouyang Zhang staring at her, the smile on his face deepened a bit, with a touch of tenderness and alienation between his eyebrows: "Why, is Wu'er obsessed with it?"
Ouyang Wu sighed: "I just think you are haunting me."
Ye Chonghua stretched out his long arm, pinched Ouyang Wu's chin, and stroked her lips with his thumb, with an ambiguous gesture: "My Wu'er, why are you always so difficult to get close to? Do you know that you will soon be my princess?"
"How about this, let's talk about a condition. If you don't marry me, I can agree to do something else for you."
"Oh? Other things?" A hint of playfulness flashed in Ye Chonghua's eyes, "How about giving me a son?"
Ouyang Wu resisted the urge to curse, slapped his arm away, glared at Ye Chonghua coldly, got up and walked out quickly. This man, does he want to piss herself off to death?
Ye Chonghua did not chase after her. He was still sitting in his seat, holding the teacup that Ouyang Wu had used. His fingers brushed across it, and the warmth and fragrance of her lips were still on it.
A Xiu followed behind Ouyang Wu. Seeing that she was walking faster and faster, she trotted after her. She asked breathlessly: "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with the Second Prince Ye?"
"No."
"Then why are you in such a hurry to leave? You finally meet each other, shouldn't you talk more?"
Ouyang Wu glanced at her: "A Xiu, you have become much bolder recently. You actually mentioned Miss's affairs?"
"A Xiu, A Xiu didn't mean that."
"It's getting late. Let's go back early."
Ouyang Wu just went back and saw Ouyang Ying standing at the door of her side yard waiting for her. The maid beside her was holding a food box in her hand. Ouyang Wu glanced at Ouyang Ying calmly. She was covered with layers of dense white gauze. Except for a pair of lively eyes, her real face was almost invisible. No one came to see her for no reason. It has been a long time since she was disfigured. Her reappearance today must be bad news.
Ouyang Ying smiled coquettishly when she saw Ouyang Wu coming back: "Sister, you are back."
Ouyang Ying felt that Ouyang Wu was looking at her, her back stiffened, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, but in just a moment, as if she thought of something, she smiled again. "Why do you want me to stand in the courtyard?"
Ouyang Wu knew that Ouyang Ying had bad intentions. She was not in a good mood and did not want to be with her. She looked indifferent: "I wonder why you are here today?"
Ouyang Ying smiled even more enthusiastically, stepped forward and took Ouyang Wu's arm, as if they had always been close sisters. This action made Ouyang Wu feel goose bumps all over her body. She pulled her hand out calmly and heard Ouyang Ying say: "Of course I came to chat with you. I invite you to sit in the house, okay?"
Ouyang Wu always felt that Ouyang Ying's coming today was a little strange. Looking at the box in the hands of Ouyang Ying and the maid behind her, well, let's see what you are up to!
"If you don't mind my room being so simple, please come in and sit down with me."
After saying that, Ouyang Wu turned around and walked into the house. Ouyang Ying behind her glanced at the maid, who nodded slightly. Then the two followed Ouyang Wu into the house.
Ouyang Wu walked to the chair, sat down and said to Ouyang Ying who came in later, "Sister, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk."
Ouyang Ying sat on the chair as she was told. She slowly changed her expression to a sad one, and reached out to touch her face, "Sister, to be honest, since my appearance was ruined, I have figured out a lot of things. I was really too bad to you before. Now I feel very regretful, so I want to ask for your forgiveness." Before she finished speaking, tears welled up on her face.
Ouyang Wu looked at Ouyang Ying like this and laughed in her heart. Ouyang Ying must have hated her so much that she might have blamed her for everything. She was asking for forgiveness all the time. Was she kidding?
But Ouyang Wu still had a kind smile on her face and said, "Sister, you don't need to blame yourself. I have my shortcomings, too. It's not a question of forgiveness or not."
Ouyang Ying heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, as if she had been forgiven. She turned around and asked the maid behind her to come forward, open the food box, and take out a set of tea sets from it. Ouyang Ying smiled at Ouyang Wu, "Since you have forgiven me, drink this blood swallow. I made it myself."
Ouyang Wu's expression was slightly condensed, and a hint of mockery appeared between her eyebrows. She looked at the night outside the window and lowered her head to look at the blood swallow in Ouyang Ying's hand. She used these few tricks over and over again, and she was not tired of it. Ouyang Wu could already smell something strange in it with just a sniff. The faint fragrance came to her face - the fragrance of orchids. This is a top-notch aphrodisiac. Ordinary people can't smell it at all, but Ouyang Wu has always been sensitive and is a master of poison.
The fragrance of orchids is not an ordinary aphrodisiac. As long as you get a little bit of it, the whole person will become stupid and forgetful. Under the bed, they will become particularly open and enthusiastic. Haha, such a vicious trick.
Ouyang Wu tried her best to calm the anger in her stomach, closed her eyes tightly, clenched her fingers, lowered her eyes, and a cold light emanated from her pupils, cold and intimidating: Since you dare to poison, then wait for the trick!
Ouyang Ying saw that Ouyang Wu was hesitant to answer, so she reminded him, "Sister?" Ouyang Wu smiled slightly, took the teacup, and smiled at Ouyang Ying, "This blood swallow is worth a fortune, and ordinary people can't eat it. Today, my sister personally brewed it and sent it to me, so I have to drink it, but it's late today, and I'm a little sleepy." "If you drink the tea, it means that you have forgiven me, and I will leave and won't disturb you to rest." "Then I'll obey your order." Ouyang Wu took the spoon and pretended to drink a sip: "Is this okay?" After a pause, she put the spoon down. After a while, she looked a little sleepy. Ouyang Ying watched Ouyang Wu drink the blood swallow, then stood up and said: "Sister, go to bed early. I will go back first and come to chat with you tomorrow." When Ouyang Ying left, the maid beside her looked back at Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu met her eyes and suddenly realized something. Why are there two completely different faces with such similar eyes? Seeing the sleepy Ouyang Wu nodded, Ouyang Ying's lips curled up with a sinister and successful smile. She left with the maid, thinking in her heart: Ouyang Wu, this time you will be ruined, and then I will make you suffer a hundred times, a thousand times more than me! However, Ouyang Ying, who had just left the side yard, had never thought that Ouyang Wu, who was still sleepy just now, would slowly raise her head at this time, with a shrewd look in her eyes. She took out a handkerchief from her arms, put it close to her lips, and slowly spit out the liquid in her mouth. Ouyang Wu looked at the dark night, and a smile slowly appeared on her beautiful lips, which was cold but extremely dangerous.
Just after the third watch, a black figure appeared in the side courtyard. It turned out that this person was the maid beside Ouyang Ying before. She tiptoed into Ouyang Wu's room. Now Ouyang Wu had taken the orchid fragrance and would soon have an attack. She wanted to send Ouyang Wu out as soon as possible. But after the maid went in, she suddenly found that there was no one on the bed. She turned around the room unwillingly, and doubts filled her mind. She turned around in surprise, but she only felt a pain behind her head and fainted on the ground.
Ouyang Wu looked at the woman who fainted on the ground, slowly squatted down, stretched her hand behind her ear, and with a little force, slowly tore off a thin layer of human skin mask from her face. The moonlight leaked in from the window lattice and shone on the beautiful face of the person on the ground. Isn't this person Princess Yaohua?
Wasn't she under house arrest? How could she still be here? Sun Yaoyang slowly approached Ouyang Wu's room, humming a dirty tune out of joy. The guards of Ouyang Wu's side courtyard had been sent away by Ouyang Ying, and Ouyang Wu was drugged by the princess herself. Now that there was no one around and no one was following him, he quietly opened the door and closed it after entering. However, what he didn't see was a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness under the tree in the courtyard, indifferent and full of weirdness.
