The princess is killing like crazy again

"Tell me, how should I deal with you?" Xiao Yurong said contemptuously.

Yang Wei said in panic: "Please spare my life! Please spare my life! I will never dare to do it again. I will definitely change my bad deeds in the future!"

Xiao Yurong tapped her temples with her red-haired fingertips, "I'm tired of hearing these pleas for mercy."

To put it more seriously, what Yang Wei did was treason. Under the pretext of killing nine generations of the family, it was a good thing that she didn't kill the entire Yang family.

"Deshu, kill him..." Xiao Yurong originally wanted to kill the man directly, but his thoughts changed.

Xie Deshu waited for Xiao Yurong's order.

Xiao Yurong paused, "Leave it to the Holy Lord for judgment."

"Yes." Xie Deshu grabbed the wailing Yang Wei and walked out.

As soon as Yang Wei disappeared from his sight, Xiao Yurong felt a surge of blood and energy and started coughing, covering his mouth.

"Your Highness!" Li Yaozhi rushed over and supported Xiao Yurong.

Li Yaozhi handed the handkerchief to Xiao Yurong, patted her back, and hurriedly went to call the imperial physician.

"Don't go... cough cough cough!" Xiao Yurong grabbed Li Yaozhi's wrist, "cough cough!"

"Okay, okay, I won't go... Your Highness..." Li Yaozhi's hand was shaking as he supported Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong leaned in Li Yaozhi's arms, coughing and laughing: "Ha...hahahahahaha..."

"It's useless to call the imperial physician, it's useless to look for famous doctors... Haha, taking medicine is useless, praying is useless... Cough cough cough..." The silk handkerchief was stained with coughed blood, and Xiao Yurong's eyes were wet. She didn't know whether she was laughing or coughing.

She supported herself with Li Yaozhi's arms around her and stopped laughing. "Shao Yan, I joined the army at the age of ten, discussed politics with my father and brothers at the age of twelve, made plans at the age of fifteen, and took control of the army at the age of seventeen. At the age of eighteen, I led the army to quell the rebellion, and at the age of twenty, I won a great victory and killed King Wen."

"I thought I was the girl of destiny, but it turns out that the heavens, the gods and Buddhas in the sky don't love me." She panted and closed her eyes tiredly, "Destiny doesn't favor me."

She was so tired. Just dragging her sick body and struggling to survive was tiring.

Li Yaozhi held Xiao Yurong in his arms, and patted her back carefully and gently, as if he was forbearing a dull pain.

Li Yaozhi kissed Xiao Yurong's temple and closed his eyes.

He prayed thousands of times, asking Xiao Yurong to live a hundred years, but it was no use.

"I don't really care whether I'll be remembered for eternity or fame, but they wrote about me like that and threw all the dirty water on me, and I'm not happy about it," Xiao Yurong said. "Or maybe they don't want to write about me and will erase my name."

She spent a long time looking for a bone that could support her frail and sick body, a bone that could match her ambition.

Only recently did she realize that she had the toughest bone to chew, her stubbornness with resentment.

"Will history books write about me?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Li Yaozhi stroked Xiao Yurong's face and said, "Yes, Your Highness's name will be passed down through the ages. I will do my best to achieve this."

Xiao Yurong closed his eyes and said, "Play a song for me. I haven't heard it for a long time."

Li Yaozhi's hand was injured when he tried to grab the zither in the fire, and he took a long time to recover.

"Okay, I'll play the piano for Your Highness." He responded.

The piece played was still "The Longevity Woman". Xiao Yurong was in a trance for a moment. She thought of many things, including Wang's Spring Banquet that year.

My third and fourth brothers were all there, as was Cui Ci Ning. My uncle, eldest brother, teacher, and Wang Fuxuan were watching the game upstairs.

She drew her hairpin and stabbed her horse, defeating Li Yaozhi.

The young man is dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and vitality.

At the time, it was only common.

It seemed as if some unknown emotion had given birth to a moss that was invisible in spring and summer, covering a corner of Li Yaozhi's heart and filling the gaps between the steps of Yanzuo Palace.

Li Yaozhi was distracted unconsciously while playing the piano.

I wish His Highness a thousand years of life.

Second, I wish Your Highness good health.

My third wish is to be like the swallows on the beam, seeing each other year after year.

Bow again and make three wishes.

"Why did you play a wrong note?" Xiao Yurong looked over at the wrong sound of the piano, "Shao Yan, you are not calm."

Li Yaozhi was slightly startled, then smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, you are just as handsome as Zhou Lang."

Xiao Yurong also laughed: "Isn't Shao Yan a beautiful lady? She wants Zhou Lang to look at her, so she always makes mistakes when playing the zither. I'm afraid Shao Yan didn't play the wrong notes on purpose, so she asked me to look after her instead?"

"Your Highness, please don't tease me." Li Yaozhi shook his head with a smile.

Xiao Yurong looked at Li Yaozhi, who always provided her with support in decision-making and took care of her daily life.

Aristocratic families attach great importance to the cultivation of their children, but they also place great emphasis on the observance of traditional ethics and family rules.

Such a rigid and inflexible environment that suppresses personality and soul has produced a person like Li Yaozhi, who appears to be polite and orderly but actually has no taboos.

The Li family was outstanding and prosperous, and their heir was Xiao Sunxian, but Li Yaozhi happened to meet her and began to deviate from the established route.

She sighed softly, "Shao Yan, having you is enough for me."

So Li Yaozhi looked at Xiao Yurong and smiled, as if expressing some kind of respect and gratitude, as well as heartache and joy.

Yang Wei was brought before Xiao Yuxie by Xie Deshu, and his subordinates went to report to Xiao Yuxie and handed over the evidence collected by Fuyang Guards.

After Xiao Yuxie heard this, he paused for a moment and asked, "What did Rongrong say? What does she mean?"

The eunuch said carefully: "*** said, leave it to the emperor to judge."

"She is testing me." Xiao Yuxie laughed.

His eyes were obscure and hard to understand. "My sister is testing how much I really love her. In the past, she never doubted this."

The eunuch did not dare to reply, and after a long while he carefully asked, "Then, Your Majesty, how should we deal with General Hu Wei?"

"Behead him." Xiao Yuxie said calmly, "Send someone to the Yang family to announce the decree, and remember the consequences."

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.

Reward is also punishment, and punishment is also reward. The people below can only keep speculating to seek a chance of survival.

Xiao Yu didn't rest for long before heading to Zhaoyang *** Mansion.

He followed the maid through the long corridor, in front of which were hung palace bells and pink silk gauze, and flowers and trees swayed in the wind, spreading a gorgeous scene on the ground.

Only in Zhaoyang Prefecture are there flowers and trees all year round, making it like spring all year round.

The waiters all bowed their heads politely, holding cups and dishes as they walked into the corridor, amidst the flowers and willows.

Xiao Yurong was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

Xiao Yuxie's gaze lingered for a moment on Xiao Yurong's face, a beautiful face that somewhat resembled his.

The nose is like a jade hook hanging from the ice, and the lips are like diamonds on the river of rebirth.

His sister is very good at taking advantage of her own superior conditions and using everything she can, such as this face.

"Please take a seat, my royal brother." Xiao Yurong smiled.

The two of them sat cross-legged, with a small carved sandalwood table between them, on which were placed cakes and snacks.

Xiao Yurong seemed to casually mention Yang Wei, the Yunshui salt mine, Liu Pinjue, and General Cui who was detained in Yujing in disguise.

When mentioning Cui and Cui Ci Ning, Xiao Yuxie's expression seemed a little subtle, as if he admired her but was also wary of her, appreciating her but also having doubts.

"Since Rongrong has already swallowed up the Yang family's soldiers, why is there any more questions? As for Cui family, you can handle it." Xiao Yuxie drank a sip of tea slowly.

At this time, the warm sunlight penetrated through the lush branches, diffused into the pavilion, and finally fell on the dazzling cinnabar spot between Xiao Yurong's eyebrows.

She stared at Xiao Yuxie, waiting for her brother to finish his words.

"As for the salt mine in Yunshui." Xiao Yuxie narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed an elusive smile, "Rongrong is right, but this matter is of great importance. We need to take a long-term view and not act hastily."

It was the same result as in the court.

Xiao Yurong secretly clenched the cup, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Royal brother, I have heard some discussions recently. The words are quite unpleasant. I wonder if you have heard anything about it?"

"Indeed I have heard about it. If my sister is unhappy, I will deal with it. There is no need to bear a grudge." Xiao Yuxie responded. His words seemed gentle, but they actually contained a mystery.

Their conversation seemed ordinary, and from a distance, it seemed that they were having a good time, but there was a sense of caution in their words.

Xiao Yurong's fingertips turned white as he gripped the cup, and he paused for a moment.

She smiled and said, "Those old ministers in the court are disobedient. My brother also seems to be unhappy that these people are challenging the imperial power, right?"

Xiao Yuxie nodded, "Well, what do you think, Rongrong?"

"A new emperor appoints new ministers. Since they are disobedient, why don't you just deal with them directly, my brother?" Xiao Yurong said calmly.

"The Imperial sister seems to hate them?" Xiao Yuxie raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yurong sneered and put down the cup. "They don't do their work all day long. They only know how to make suggestions and say that I am causing chaos in the government and that I am guilty of crimes that should not be punished. How can I like them?"

"That's true." Xiao Yuxie didn't comment, but just curled the corners of his lips.

Xiao Yurong raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuxie, hinting at something, and said in a gloomy tone: "If one day, my brother the emperor believes the words of those pedantic scholars in the court, he will definitely sentence my sister to death with a white silk ribbon."

"White silk is expensive. I think about it and decide to forget it." Xiao Yuxie couldn't tell whether it was a joke or the truth. "Rongrong loves beauty, so poisoned wine is better. It will end everything once and for all, and she won't die too ugly."

The two looked at each other.

The young emperor and his wife, the two of them had supported each other to this day, and even though they were blood relatives, they actually began to pull and test each other.

The smile in Xiao Yurong's eyes had already disappeared. "That's right. My brother can even kill his brothers and sisters. I'm afraid that I, your sister, can't escape the blame either."

"You're still blaming me." Xiao Yuxie's eyes were dark. "Tell me, if you were in my shoes, wouldn't you kill him?"

He sneered: "Will you show mercy because of blood ties? You and I are the most alike, Rongrong. I know best what kind of person you are. You will kill him too."

They had argued fiercely about this matter several times, and each time neither of them gave in, and they ended up parting on bad terms.

A broken mirror cannot be mended, and even if you put it back together there will still be cracks.

It seems that if this matter is not resolved, it will always be like a thorn in the throat.

What annoyed Xiao Yuxie the most was that Xiao Yurong was still holding a grudge against him.

Xiao Yurong opened his mouth but said nothing.

Xiao Yuxie stared into her eyes, "You can't bear to part with him and blame me for killing him, but it's just because he treats you well. If he is also a competitor to you and he wants to kill you, will you still keep talking about blood relationship?"

"You won't." Xiao Yuxie told the truth.

Xiao Yurong turned pale and was speechless.

She couldn't deny that what Xiao Yuxie said was the truth.

"Are your hands clean, sister?" Xiao Yuxie laughed.

"Stop talking!" Xiao Yurong stopped him from continuing.

That's why they are so alike, their hands are equally dirty, they are both parricide.

It hangs over the sky like an lingering curse.

Xiao Yurong pursed her lips, "Then you shouldn't kill him. Imprisonment is fine, he has no power to fight back, why bother killing him? What did Fourth Brother do? You want to exile him?"

"This is all for you and me, the Xiao family." Xiao Yuxie said in a deep voice.

"You make it sound like they don't have the surname Xiao." Xiao Yurong sneered.

Xiao Yuxie looked at her and said, "Now, I am worried that my relatives will abuse their power."

Xiao Yurong was stunned for a moment, then turned away, "I don't want to discuss state affairs with you..."

"This is also a family matter!" Xiao Yuxie suddenly raised his voice, "Besides, the regent of Emperor Zhaoyang is very strict, how can we not discuss state affairs?"

"Enough! Do you know what you are doing? Brother, what do you want?" Xiao Yurong stood up suddenly and overturned the table.

With a "crash", the tea, wine and snacks overturned and scattered all over the floor.

The two masters wanted to talk, and the servants had already retreated.

There was no one around at this time, and it was completely silent. There was only the mess on the ground and the brother and sister who were confronting each other.

"I have already told you more than once what I want." Xiao Yuxie also stood up, "Everything I am doing now is to achieve this goal."

He walked over the mess on the ground, approached Xiao Yurong, raised his hand and put it on the back of Xiao Yurong's neck, "I am willing to share everything with you. If something happens to me one day, I want to push you to this position. Otherwise, why do they persuade me again and again, but I still don't marry or have children?"

Xiao Yurong gritted his teeth and said, "You can't let go of that position at all."

"I put the crown on you personally." Xiao Yuxie stated this fact.

He placed his thumb on Xiao Yurong's jaw, stroking it slowly, and looked at Xiao Yurong's slightly red eyes with gentle yet indifferent eyes.

Xiao Yuxie asked softly, "Tell me, sister, did I put it on your head myself?"

"Maybe you don't love me anymore." Xiao Yurong said.

"I don't want to argue with you about this. You just don't believe me." Xiao Yuxie said, "No matter what, whether you do it yourself or not, I will take action against the Huo family."

Looking into Xiao Yurong's eyes, Xiao Yuxie blocked her gaze with his hand, "Don't look at me like that, Rongrong. Uncle may not have thought so much, but his identity and everything behind him will push him to seize power."

Xiao Yurong closed his eyes and said, "Can't you just talk to him nicely?"

"Will it work if I tell him? How can there be so many battles without bloodshed? Releasing military power over a cup of wine will only make the entire Huo family more vigilant, making it more difficult to take action." Xiao Yuxie smiled, "I don't want to do anything to my mother's family, but everyone must know what is enough and stop."
