Fishing Beauty Dressed As a Vicious Stepmother

"My lord." The butler of Gu's house hurriedly ran into the main hall, reporting: "The father-in-law who passed the decree in the palace has arrived outside the house, and Cao Ming, the deputy general of General Duan, came with him."

Cao Ming? That was the deputy general Duan pulled up with one hand, and escorted the general back to Beijing together.

Gu Ze, who was sitting in the hall, frowned and looked sideways at Xie Lanchi. It was clearly written in his eyes that it must not be a good thing for the old General Duan’s people to come with the father-in-law who preached the decree at this time.

Xie Lanchi only learned today that General Duan had already entered Beijing, but he had known before that his men had failed to ambush the old General Duan, and lost the old General Duan. Sooner or later, he would enter Beijing.

At the beginning, he and Gu Ze supported Li Rongzhao to sit on the throne in the name of prince Li Rongxiu's sudden death. Originally, Li Rongxiu should have died in that room and in that box, so even if General Duan came back, it would be useless.

but……

Xie Lanchi resisted looking at Qiao Sha. She killed him and Li Rongxiu and let them "rebirth" once, and when he imprisoned Li Rongxiu, Li Rongxiu was born again with memories and escaped from his imprisonment.

Now that Li Rongxiu's whereabouts are unknown, General Duan has returned to Beijing, fearing that it will not go so smoothly afterwards.

Li Rongxiu must be found and killed as soon as possible.

Gu Ze made up his mind that this time he caught Li Rongxiu, regardless of whether Xie Lanchi agreed or not, he would kill Li Rongxiu first to avoid future troubles.

"Go and ask the young lady to come over." Gu Ze got up and ordered the maid, and then ordered the housekeeper to welcome the father-in-law who had passed the decree into the mansion. There was no other emotion in his expression.

Even if the old general Duan sent Cao Ming to come, it didn't matter. The matter was fixed afterwards. Almost all of Li Rongxiu's party members had been eliminated. The old general Duan was isolated and helpless in the DPRK, and he could not shake anything.

As soon as the maid went out, she ran into Gu Jiaojiao who was walking through the window outside.

Gu Jiaojiao was pulled by her cousin Ruan Zhuxi and walked into the main hall. His eyes inevitably fell on Xie Lanchi's body, and then he hurriedly lowered, and stepped forward to bow to his eldest brother.

Ruan Zhuxi’s gaze was on Qiao Sha from the moment he entered the main hall, and now that he approached her, he looked at her carefully, from head to toe, her heart secretly slandered, this woman was sitting still not sitting, she did not recline like bones. In the chair, without looking at them, arrogantly playing with the teacup lid in front of him.

What about her arrogance, she is just a relative of Gu's family members, and now standing in front of her are Gu's upright daughters and cousins.

Ruan Zhuxi was accustomed to playing as a child, and she often played with famous ladies in Beijing. She had never seen her so unruly and arrogant, so she said, "This is the righteous sister my cousin recognizes, right? I heard my grandmother said that she was a beauty, but now I see it as a beauty. Cousin won't tell us about it?"

With a soft "da", Qiao Sha put the lid of the teacup on the teacup, and then turned his head to look at the two little girls in front of him.

For the two delicate little girls, Gu Jiaojiao lowered his face and pulled the sleeve of the other little girl, as if to tell her not to.

The little girl pushed away Gu Jiaojiao's hand and lifted her chin.

These little actions made Qiao Sha laugh. This little girl is Gu Ze's cousin. The cousin is cp reservation in the old saying.

She likes Gu Ze?

No wonder she used her chin to look at her.

He was born very beautiful, with a white face and slick almond eyes, like a delicate and delicate young lady, all good and bad are written on his face, and he can't even hide it when he thinks about it.

She likes this kind of stupid and "bad" stupid beauty.

"Zhu Xi." Gu Ze really frowned, trying to say something about her.

Xie Lanchi on the side spoke, "She is Princess Yunan, Miss Ruan should salute her."

Ruan Zhuxi was taken aback, and all the surprise was written on her face. Obviously, she did not expect that she was actually the princess. When her grandmother mentioned her, she clearly said that she had a humble background and her background...

Gu Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled her, apologized to Qiao Sha, and said, "Miss Qiao, don't be angry. Cousin Zhu Xi is not malicious."

Qiao Sha smiled at Gu Jiaojiao and teased her and Ruan Zhuxi playfully and said: "She salutes me, so I won't be angry."

Ruan Zhuxi really blushed with annoyance. She didn't look at Qiao Sha in her heart. She wanted to humiliate her. She slapped her mouth and was so embarrassed. She didn't expect her cousin to protect her and say to her: "Zhu Xi , Apologize to Miss Joe."

She didn't say anything wrong!

She stared at her cousin in annoyance, but bumped into her cold expression, and her eyes were flushed with grievance for a while, and she saluted Qiao Sha in a puffed and stiff manner.

Tears are about to fall, still crying.

Qiao Sha was looking at Le Ha, the mighty people outside had already entered the courtyard, besides the imperial decree, there were many soldiers.

Filed in from the courtyard entrance, each with knives standing in two rows, in the middle of an **** who delivered the decree, asked one person to enter first-the soldier with knives pushed a wooden wheelchair and walked in slowly.

Among the soldiers purged, only the grunting of the wheelchair crushing on the stone slab was heard, and there was a woman in blue clothing beside the soldier.

It's Cui Cui.

Qiao Sha's fingers playing with the lid of the cup paused for a moment, her gaze fell on the person in the wheelchair, but she didn't take it back.

Gu Ze and Xie Lanchi on one side were also completely stunned. Gu Ze changed his expression, and Xie Lanchi turned to look at Qiao Sha, and saw Qiao Sha getting up from the chair, reaching out and grabbing her arm.

Today, he shouldn't take her to Gu's residence.

Xie Lanchi grasped Qiao Sha's arm tightly, her eyes all on the person in the courtyard, blinking.

The father-in-law who preached the decree stood in the courtyard and smiled and said to Gu Ze in the main hall: "General Gu, the Holy Spirit ordered the king of Chu, who has just returned to Beijing, to preach the decree for Miss Gu."

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Li Rongxiu.

Gu Ze stood in the hall, looking at Li Rongxiu in the wheelchair, knowing that he should calm down and not show his emotions, but he still froze his expression.

He was not only shocked why Li Rongxiu could escape into Kyoto. The city gate was full of his people. He was very precautionary to prevent Li Rongxiu, but he still escaped Xie Lanchi's pursuit and escaped his eyeliner and entered Beijing. , The grandly appeared in his mansion.

What was even more shocking to him was the words of the prince-the saint's special order, Li Rongxiu, came to deliver the decree.

The new emperor had already met Li Rongxiu long ago, and did not tell him that he had colluded with Xie Lanchi, or even conspired with Li Rongxiu, and gave him such a big "surprise".

Okay, so good.

Fighting the tiger does not leave his brother, it seems that the new emperor has already joined hands with his brother.

He really underestimated this weak new emperor. Does the new emperor plan to join forces with Li Rongxiu to fight against him and Xie Lanchi?

Gu Ze's face was green, staring at Li Rongxiu in the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness...No, not already..." Ruan Zhuxi, who knew nothing, stared at Li Rongxiu in the wheelchair in horror, frightened and speechless.

Everyone in the capital knew that the former prince, His Royal Highness King Chu suddenly died, how could he appear here again alive? ?

But no one answered her horror.

At this moment, everyone has their own thoughts, and there is a sudden wave in their hearts.

She was the only one, and for unknown reasons, she was surprised that His Royal Highness Chu King returned from the dead.

-------

In the courtyard, His Royal Highness Li Rongxiu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at everyone in the hall with a smile, and finally settled on Qiao Sha's body, slowly arranging a strand of black hair in her hand and saying: "Long time no see, Qiao girl."

His first words were only with her.

Everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Sha, and even Ruan Zhuxi, who didn't understand anything, stared at her. He was extremely surprised. How could even the resurrected Royal Highness Chu know this woman?

Qiao Sha looked back and forth on Li Rongxiu and Cui Cui. Cui Cui stood there holding the wheelchair, her eyes were red and red, and tears fell down.

But Li Rongxiu is different. The corners of his eyes are full of smiles, and his beautiful eyes are looking straight at her, as if he can speak ambiguously with her.

He is surprisingly beautiful today.

When Qiao Sha saw him for the first time, she was dressed so neatly and formally. In the past, either he had hair scattered or he was wearing ordinary clothes.

Today, he is wearing a black diadem, with red python patterns embroidered on the neckline and sleeves, and a golden crown tied with his hair, making his face white as jade, and his eyes are like fireworks.

It's actually more fascinating than usual.

Was it to meet her and to attend in a costume?

Qiao Sha smiled. She did not expect to see him here. She thought that after he escaped from the Xie Mansion, she would hide in a safer place first, but she did not expect that instead of hiding, he would appear openly. NS.

Brought her Cui Cui.

"Long time no see, Your Highness." Qiao Sha also returned to him, but it didn't take long for him to see him.

Under the gloomy sky, he pursed his mouth and smiled, deliberately looking at Xie Lanchi, seeing his cold eyes and pale face, his eyes fell on his fingers holding Qiao Sha's arm again, and his heart became unhappy.

"Xie Lanchi, how come you haven't seen it for a long time, and don't even understand the rules?" Li Rongxiu asked him for trouble slowly, and nodded to his feet: "Kneel here."

Xie Lanchi's fingers were stiff and cold, and the past was pulled out a little bit in the past, as if something was blocked in his stomach and throat, he wanted to vomit.

——Kneel here. He knelt at Li Rongxiu's feet like a slave, stepped on his shoulders and put on boots.

The atmosphere freezes and is generally stiff and cold.

Qiao Sha pulled Xie Lanchi's fingers away, and said to him in a low voice, "You still don't touch me, otherwise he will be jealous and trouble you."

Xie Lanchi's palm was empty, and the hatred reached its peak at this moment. He frowned and looked at her, and she said: "I am doing it for your own good."

Very unnecessary, she is humiliating him, is he so inferior to Li Rongxiu? He has been trying to crush Li Rongxiu under his feet for so many years. Does she think that Li Rongxiu can still move him now?

He grabbed her freed wrist, put her hand on his wrist, and said in a deep and low voice, "I am no longer the Xie Lanchi of the day, so I don't have to worry about me, but worry about your lover. "

He must kill Li Rongxiu, and kill Li Rongxiu in front of her.

Ruan Zhuxi, who was standing next to Qiao Sha, heard all these words and looked at Qiao Sha dumbfounded. This woman...has a relationship with His Royal Highness Chu? ?

She only heard Jiaojiao mutter, Xie Lanchi seems to like this woman, and now even His Royal Highness Chu likes her?

Then what she said just now was not deliberately provoking the dispute between His Royal Highness King Chu and Xie Lanchi? ?

-----

The father-in-law is waiting to pass the decree.

Gu Ze led the crowd out of the main hall and walked into the courtyard. He bowed his hands to Li Rongxiu, "Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Chu will not die."

Li Rongxiu looked at him and smiled, "I didn't expect it either." He looked at Xie Lanchi again, and said, "Thanks to the mercy of Xie Factory Supervisor, I couldn't be completely killed."

There was a smile in the yin and yang strange tone.

The father-in-law who preached the decree saw that the faces of several people were getting worse and worse, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "The sage has a decree, and I also invite Master Gu, Miss Gu, and Princess Yunan to take the decree."

Let him declare the decree first.

Li Rongxiu didn't continue, he also waited for the announcement.

Father Chuanji breathed a sigh of relief, and stood busy in the courtyard, proclaiming the imperial edict.

Ruan Zhuxi knelt down with Jiao Jiao, and knew that this was the imperial decree of Li Jiao Jiao, so he was not surprised to hear Li Hou's decree.

But after she had listened to the imperial decree, the father-in-law read out without breathing that the saint asked Nacho to enter the palace and appoint the noble concubine.

Concubine? ? !

She turned her head in surprise and looked at Qiao Sha, only feeling incredible. How could she be named a noble concubine? Jiao Jiao can be a queen because of Gu's family and her cousin.

What family background is Qiao Sha, so she was sealed as a noble concubine?

She suddenly remembered that when her grandmother talked about cousin Gu An, she seemed to have mentioned that this woman even protected her as the saint?

Ruan Zhuxi is completely stupid, how many men is this woman related to? Du Fu Xie and His Royal Highness Chu Wang were jealous for her, and the Lord guarded her...

What about cousin?

Ruan Zhuxi's mood at this moment was no longer angry and jealous. She looked at Qiao Sha like a monster. She didn't know what she was capable of allowing such a few men to circle her.

But Qiao Sha just lowered her eyes, listening to the will, her face was neither happy nor unhappy.

Since entering the house, her expression has always been like this, as if what these men did for her, it was difficult to make her happy, and she liked it.

The moment the imperial edict was read.

His Royal Highness King Chu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, stretched out his hand to her, leaned down and asked her gently, "Is the head still hot?"

The voice was very gentle, as if asking the person next to his pillow, without shying away from anyone.

But Qiao Sha just raised his eyes to look at him, and didn't help him by the hand.

Because Xie Lanchi has helped her up.

Ruan Zhuxi knelt on the ground, looking at her cousin who secretly withdrew her hand, she couldn't tell the feeling in her heart. If her cousin reached out to help her, she would be very happy. She always looked up at her cousin and followed him. Be his little shadow.

In front of Qiao Sha, the cousin stretched out his hand just like she was in front of him, and then quietly retracted it.

She had never seen her cousin like this.

But Qiao Sha seemed to look down on these at all. Several men clamored to help her. She didn't have the slightest joy, she was used to it.

Ruan Zhuxi was helped out by the maid, her red eyes lowered, and she thought in her heart: They are really like pugs in front of the woman Qiao Sha.

The father-in-law who preached the decree said: "The sage has a decree, so I will take Miss Qiao into the palace today. The carriage is already waiting outside the house."

Several men changed their faces.

Especially her cousin said with a cold face: "The father-in-law went back to the palace and told the sage that Miss Qiao was unwell and recuperated in Gu's mansion first, and then went into the palace after the ceremony."

The father-in-law said with a smile: "General Gu, the minion is only acting according to the will, and he specially instructed the minion, if you can’t pick up Miss Qiao, the minion doesn’t have to go back to the palace... Look, otherwise you will go to the palace with Miss Qiao. You go and talk to the Holy One, the Holy One will definitely listen to you."

Yeah?

Gu Ze sneered in his heart, Li Rongzhao dared to join forces with Li Rongxiu, how could he still listen to him, his plan was all broken up in a moment.

He originally wanted to pinch Qiao Sha, and let Li Rongzhao stand obediently. After the ceremony, Qiao Sha can stay or not.

But now, Li Rongzhao has joined forces with Li Rongxiu, he can neither kill Li Rongzhao, nor can he control him.

Li Rongxiu must be killed so that he can regain control of the new emperor.

Gu Ze looked at Li Rongxiu again. What is Li Rongxiu doing? Doesn't he want to regain the throne? If he regains the throne, there are legitimate reasons to kill him.

"Why did Master Gu and Supervisor Xie stop?" Sitting in a wheelchair, Li Rongxiu smiled and twisted the black hair on his fingertips. He slowly said, "The emperor was chosen by two, and the next game of chess is also two. Wasn’t the original plan of the two of them to let Ms. Qiao serve as a **** — to enter the palace with her in exchange for the girl of Gu’s family?"

Li Rongxiu looked at him and Xie Lanchi: "Why don't you want her to enter the palace now?"

Gu Ze’s face was dark and heavy. He didn’t want Qiao Sha to enter the palace now, because after she entered the palace, it might be more difficult to control the new emperor. .

He wanted to hold Qiao Sha in his palm.

"I have something to say to Brother Gu, Director Xie." Qiao Sha suddenly spoke. She looked at Li Rongxiu in the wheelchair and probably guessed his plan.

Is he not planning to seize the throne for the time being?

He wants to join hands with Li Rongzhao to support his younger brother to sit on the throne, first get rid of Gu Ze and Xie Lanchi, and then slowly raise the emperor Li Rongzhao, he controls the court, is it the same as whether he is an emperor?

But he doesn't actually need to show up today. Isn't it safer and easier for him to hide in the dark and join forces with Li Rongzhao?

Therefore, he came to Gu and Xie in such a stately manner for...

----

The more cloudy the sky, the worse.

The father-in-law who delivered the decree waited in the courtyard and dared not say anything.

Li Rongxiu sat in the wheelchair and did not move. He watched Qiao Sha, Gu Ze and Xie Lanchi return to the hall, closed the door to speak, and sighed softly.

He put himself in the light, naturally knowing that there are many dangers, and it is much more dangerous and difficult than in the dark.

He came today just to take her away.

He didn't worry about her staying in Gu's Mansion, and he didn't worry that she would continue to stay in Xie's Mansion.

Is it just that she understands what he means? Will she go with him?

"Cui Cui." He looked at the door and asked Cui Cui with a sigh, "Will she go with me this time?"

Cui Cui leaned on the wheelchair, her eyes were red again, "Madam will definitely understand, noble man's mind."

She didn't know, the wife didn't take her with her when she left. Where did she know, what the wife was thinking, she didn't even understand why the wife didn't go with the nobles and asked to go back to Beijing alone.

However, it seems that the lady is not injured or guilty.

That's good, that's good, otherwise she will definitely hate herself, and she didn't catch up with her at the beginning, and didn't accompany her to suffer and suffer together.

------

In the main hall, only Qiao Sha, Xie Lanchi, and Gu Ze.

Qiao Sha asked them directly: "Now that Li Rongxiu is back in Beijing, you should not give me some chronic poison and send me to the palace, let me stare at the new emperor and Li Rongxiu for you."

Gu Ze was stunned. He had never thought of using Qiao Sha like this. What she said shocked him.

Using chronic poison to contain her, and using her to control the new emperor and Li Rongxiu, this is indeed the best way at present.

But if she does this, won't she suffer? He just had to think about it, and he couldn't bear it. If he did so, she would definitely hate him.

She raised her eyes and looked at him and Xie Lanchi with a smile: "What? Are you reluctant to play against my chess piece?"

Gu Ze's heart was choked by the question, yes, she was a chess piece, just a chess piece, but he was wondering whether a chess piece would be painful and whether he would hate him.

"Do you want to enter the palace that way?" Xie Lanchi stood at the table, lowered his eyes, and quietly opened his mouth, "Is it for Li Rongxiu or Li Rongzhao?"

He knew very well that she would not do it for Gu Ze, let alone him.
