The princess is killing like crazy again

Wang Fuxuan sat there, his hair still wet with water droplets hanging on it, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished. He looked quite pitiful.

Xiao Yurong was only wearing an undershirt and walked to the bedside with a sullen look on his face and sat down.

"Are you going to bed?" Wang Fuxuan asked hesitantly.

"I should have gone to bed long ago if you hadn't come here and gone crazy." Xiao Yurong said coldly.

Wang Fuxuan lowered his head again and said nothing.

Xiao Yurong had a blank expression on her face. "Drink the ginger tea."

"Have you drunk?" Wang Fuxuan asked.

Xiao Yurong's forehead jumped, "I drank it. I asked you to drink it, so why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Wang Fuxuan raised his head and drank all the ginger tea obediently.

"Get out now that you're done drinking." Xiao Yurong saw him finish drinking and waved his hand to send him away.

"Then I'll kneel again when I get back home." Wang Fuxuan stood up silently, then hesitated for a moment, "Your hair is wet... Remember to ask the maid to wring it dry for you."

Wang Fuxuan himself was wet, in the quiet night, his long black hair was draped over his shoulders with a shiny black luster.

Her face was pale and handsome, and in the faint light of the candle, she looked unusually eerie, like a beautiful and distraught water ghost.

He already had a leg injury and had been kneeling in the cold rain for so long. Even though he tried his best to maintain his appearance, his posture showed his embarrassment.

He walked to the door, but before he opened it, he heard a voice behind him.

"Stop." Xiao Yurong said, "Come back."

Wang Fuxuan withdrew his foot in silence and walked back to Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong looked at his face. He was handsome, but it made her angry.

"Lower your head." Xiao Yurong waved his hand.

Wang Fuxuan leaned down, lowered his head, and moved closer to Xiao Yurong.

He looked straight at Xiao Yurong, his eyelashes still wet.

"Kneel down." Xiao Yurong said calmly, "If you want to kneel down, kneel down now. If you kneel down when you return to the mansion, I won't be able to see you."

Wang Fuxuan knelt down again without saying a word.

Xiao Yurong sighed: "Why would you kneel down if I told you to?"

"Won't this make you feel better?" Wang Fuxuan asked.

"Look at you. This kind of servility is just a way for you to please me." Xiao Yurong sat on the bed and looked at Wang Fuxuan kneeling in front of him. "Since you took charge of the family, how long has it been since you were so humble?"

Wang Fuxuan did not answer.

Xiao Yurong tilted his head and said, "Let me think about it. It's been a long time. After all, you have killed all those who bullied you, and I am the only one left."

She raised her foot, put the instep against Wang Fuxuan's jaw, and raised his chin. "Tell me, how sincere are you in begging me this time?"

Wang Fuxuan did not object to this insulting gesture.

"You won't tell me?" Not getting the answer he wanted, Xiao Yurong leaned closer to Wang Fuxuan, "Master, Brother?"

She pronounced the word "senior brother" ambiguously, with some teasing and provocation on the tip of her tongue.

Wang Fuxuan raised his eyes and looked at her, "What do you want?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Yurong thought for a moment, "Will you give me everything I want?"

"You speak first." Wang Fuxuan was still rational.

That's right, if he gets carried away, he won't be Wang Fuxuan anymore. Xiao Yurong showed a look of pity.

She smiled: "Aren't you already prepared? What is your sincerity?"

Wang Fuxuan glanced at Xiao Yurong as he moved his feet onto his shoulders, looked directly into Xiao Yurong's eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled.

"All the funds needed to quell the rebellion will be provided by the Wang family," he said.

The Wang family was very stingy, and Wang Fuxuan's generosity was truly unprecedented.

Even better than Xiao Yurong had imagined.

Xiao Yurong raised the corners of his lips, grabbed Wang Fuxuan's collar, and pulled him in front of him, "You are very sincere. I am willing to forgive you."

"Really?" Wang Fuxuan's eyes were filled with joy.

"If you do something wrong in the future, apologize to me and say something nice. I might come back to you later to settle the score." Xiao Yurong reminded with a smile.

She retracted her foot and leaned lazily to the side. "Send someone in to wring out my hair."

Wang Fuxuan looked at Cuicui and a group of maids holding things in their hands and said, "Let me do it."

Cuicui glanced at Xiao Yurong, and seeing that Xiao Yurong did not react, she signaled her subordinates to put the things down.

They bowed and quietly withdrew.

Xiao Yurong was extremely meticulous and took great care of her hair. Not only did she wring it dry with a towel, but she also used a soft brush to apply maintenance to the hair when it was half dry.

With such care, it is no wonder that Xiao Yurong's hair is as black as ink and as silky and soft as satin.

"He is the grandson of an emperor and is supported by the whole world. No wonder..." Wang Fuxuan muttered to himself, stroking Xiao Yurong's hair with his palm.

Wang Fuxuan lowered his eyes and looked down. Xiao Yurong had already fallen asleep leaning against the hidden bag.

The cold light of the moon fell on her body, making her look like a veil, making her figure look thin and weak.

Wang Fuxuan was absent-minded for a long time, staring at Xiao Yurong's profile for a long time, before he raised his hand slightly and gently brushed away her long black hair that was messed up by the night wind.

Xiao Yurong closed her eyes, her peacock-feather-like eyelashes were long and slightly curled, casting shadows of varying depths on her fair skin.

I think Xiao Yurong must have been very busy recently, as he has been working hard for a long time to prepare for the suppression of the rebellion.

"Are you tired?" Wang Fuxuan's fingertips gently touched Xiao Yurong's eyelashes.

"Yes, it's a turbulent time." He sighed softly, lowered his body slightly, and got closer to Xiao Yurong.

He could hear Xiao Yurong's long and even breathing. He closed his eyes and said, "That's good. Have a good night's sleep."

When Xiao Yurong woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Cui Cui." Xiao Yurong pinched her eyebrows.

Cuicui hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in. "Princess, you're awake. Do you want to eat?"

The maids who were to serve in washing and dressing came in one after another, carrying basins of water, cloth, etc.

Wang Fuxuan should have left earlier. Xiao Yurong asked, "When did he leave?"

"Are you asking about the Marquis of Huailing? The Marquis stayed up all night, and seemed to have been sitting there the whole time. He left at dawn." Cuicui replied, "When he left, he told the princess that if she had any problems, she could just send someone to let him know. There was no need to bother."

Xiao Yurong sighed faintly: "No need to worry? Right now, there are many times when we need to worry and work hard."

Cuicui came forward to help Xiao Yurong, "Princess, you are worried about Chu Le."

"You are still good at talking." Xiao Yurong patted Cuicui's hand, "Prepare the meal. After the meal, call Gongsun Qian over and go get him out of the jail."

When Gongsun Qian was brought over by Yu Shu, as expected, he was drinking wine as expected.

When he saw Xiao Yurong, he saluted in a pretentious manner and asked with a playful smile, "Princess, why did you ask me to come here?"

"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Xiao Yurong glanced at him and said, "Go get your brother."

All the way to the prison, Yu Shu led the way, making the journey smooth and unobstructed.

Xiao Yurong was in the limelight and had a noble status, so no one dared to stop him.

The Minister of Justice even tried to obstruct it for a while.

Yu Shu stepped forward with a sword in hand, "My princess wants to bring someone, please make way."

The Minister of Justice still handled the matter in a symbolic manner: "I wonder who Princess Zhaoyang wants to take away? Do you have a pardon document?"

"Officials naturally need official documents to do their work. But I'm here today as a monarch." Xiao Yurong smiled.

She smiled but her eyes did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "As a princess, it is not a big deal for me to choose someone who has committed some insignificant crimes to serve me. Do I need to report this to my father?"

"I dare not." The Minister of Justice did not dare to confront Xiao Yurong directly, so he stepped aside and said, "Princess, please do as you please."

"My lord, as a princess you are so high-profile in the court. I wonder how many people see you as a thorn in their eyes." Gongsun Qin marveled.

Xiao Yurong laughed and said, "I am using my eager and passionate heart to exchange for a piece of dragon scale. The civil and military officials will see that I am crazy and ambitious, and naturally they will hate me deeply."

Gongsun Qian tilted his head curiously and asked, "Doesn't the Lord want to keep a low profile and accumulate strength for a breakthrough?"

“Hahahaha!” Xiao Yurong spread his hands. “The more you are the target of public criticism, the easier it is to become famous.”

Gongsun Qian bowed and said, "I admire you so much. I am willing to bow down to you, my lord."

Xiao Yurong glanced at him and said, "Stop talking so smoothly. I have been so kind to you. You and your brother must work hard for me."

"My lord, you don't say anything high-sounding. Instead, you speak so directly. It's really sad." Gongsun Qin covered his heart.

Xiao Yurong ignored him, "I went to so much trouble to get your brother out, and I also made sure you had a smooth life in the capital. Could it be that I did this just to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"

"You are wrong. My Lord is a kind-hearted person who loves to do good and be righteous. How can you be so self-deprecating?" Gongsun Qin shook his head. "Don't worry, my Lord. My brother can be of great use."

"Let them believe you this time." Xiao Yurong said.

The prison was gloomy. In the dim light, rows of prisoners were shackled. Some looked crazy, some were as dumb as a chicken, and some were silent.

"How terrible, so terrible..." Gongsun Qin kept repeating himself while hiding behind Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong narrowed his eyes. "There are so many prisoners in this prison. Your brother didn't commit any crime, did he? Why is he put in a dungeon like this where serious prisoners are kept?"

Gongsun Qian said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, because he is my brother, the Imperial Censor manipulated the situation and buried him deeper."

Xiao Yurong: "..."

My feelings are affected by you.

Going to the deepest part of the dungeon, it was Gongsun Zhao who was imprisoned.

There were two single rooms facing each other. One was relatively clean and tidy. A man in a white prison uniform sat inside. His face was covered with dust. His features were 40% similar to Gongsun Qin, both looked like handsome and weak scholars.

In the next spring examination, I will definitely be able to win the third place in the imperial examination.

As for the single room opposite him, it looked a little more terrifying.

In the gloomy water prison, the man was half-kneeling on the ground, with his hands and feet locked in heavy black iron shackles, and dragged on the ground.

The chain pierced the man's collarbone, and blood was dripping from the chain. He lowered his head, and his face and expression could not be seen.

Xiao Yurong raised an eyebrow. Tsk, it just looks painful. It pierced the scapula. The slightest movement would affect the whole body.

"Who is imprisoned there?" she asked. "What crime must they have committed to deserve such treatment?"

Yu Shu replied: "I was a fierce general under the command of King Yi and a favorite general of King Ni. Thank you Deshu."

"Ah? Xie Deshu?" Xiao Yurong was a little surprised, "He's still alive."

Xiao Yurong had also heard of Xie Deshu, who was indeed a genius.

With a spear in hand, you can defeat an army of ten thousand and even thousands of cavalry.

It seems that he was just a small soldier at that time, and was promoted to be a personal guard by King Yi because he saw his potential.

Among Prince Yi's party, the person Emperor Xiao feared the most was Xie Deshu.

Xiao Yurong thought that after Prince Yi was executed, Emperor Xiao would immediately get rid of Xie Deshu.

Yu Shu replied: "I originally wanted to kill him, but His Majesty said that Xie Deshu was not very smart and could be brought under his command. However, he could not be tamed, so he was kept in prison. Even now, he is still questioned every ten days or half a month, and the punishment has never stopped."

"It's been so many years, and he's still alive. He's quite a tough guy." Xiao Yurong smiled.

"My brother." Gongsun Qin coughed lightly.

"Oh yes, let's get down to business." Xiao Yurong walked to Gongsun Zhao's cell door.

Yu Shu opened the cell door and said, "Gongsun Zhao, why don't you pay your respects to me, my Lord?"

Gongsun Zhao stood up and bowed to Xiao Yurong: "I, the guilty minister Gongsun Zhao, pay my respects to Princess Zhaoyang."

"We have never met before, how do you know my identity?" Xiao Yurong asked with interest.

"The only woman who has the power to release me from prison is the princess." Gongsun Zhao fell to the ground, "And my brother likes poetry and wine, and behaves dissolutely. Choosing the princess as a wise leader and letting him serve in Qilin Pavilion is his choice."

Xiao Yurong smiled: "Smart."

Gongsun Qian coughed twice to remind him: "Ahem! What are you talking about? The princess is also your wise master now."

However, unlike Gongsun Qian, who was very good at swaying his stance, Gongsun Zhao seemed to be steadfast.

Gongsun Zhao stood up straight and folded his hands, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order."

"What are you talking about?" Gongsun Qin glared at him, then turned to Xiao Yurong and said, "My Lord, please ignore him. My brother has never been very smart since he was young."

"If your brother didn't have a good brain, I wouldn't be here." Xiao Yurong glanced at him, then looked at Gongsun Zhao, "Tell me why it's so difficult for me to obey your order?"

Gongsun Zhao said, "I have already failed my lord once, so I am willing to be imprisoned and punished to repent. As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. If the princess' ideals are different from mine, I would rather reflect on myself in prison than help the treacherous and corrupt officials to destroy the foundation of Chule."

Gongsun Qian was nearly frightened to death by his stubborn brother, and hurriedly apologized to Xiao Yurong: "Hahahaha, look at me, my brother has been locked up for too long and has gone crazy!"

"No problem." Xiao Yurong was not annoyed. Instead, he raised his hand to stop Gongsun Qin from saying the rest of his words.

She sighed: "He really has the character of a scholar."

She said with her hands behind her back, "The way I seek is naturally to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, to bring peace to the world for all eternity, and for the people to love the king."

These words left Gongsun Qin dumbfounded, with his mouth hanging open, as if he had never known Xiao Yurong before.

Yu Shu remained calm, his hand on the hilt of the sword, standing beside Xiao Yurong.

However, Gongsun Zhao looked at Xiao Yurong in surprise and joy, his eyes sparkling with admiration and respect.
