Chapter 1685: Left and Right Arms
g Xingming vented his anger, then looked at Mrs. Lin again, "So let me ask you, during the days I was away, did anything happen in the village"Lin and Yang Xiao looked at each other, both of them unaw...Looking at Xizi Ke'er, she was both anxious and angry, her eyes flashing with sparks, as if she were about to devour someone.
All the guards present understood Xizi's anger.
After all, her Highness has been humbled by Princess Ka'er on several occasions.
This time, even the most favored male consort in the household was lost.
Her Highness had thought that by using this opportunity, Princess Ca'er would at least lose her left and right arms.
But who could have imagined that this time, not only did Princess Ke'er escape unharmed, but instead, Her Highness was placed under house arrest by the Emperor in the princess mansion.
Princess Ca'er made a great contribution in front of the common people today, but this time her Royal Highness embarrassed herself in front of the people of the capital.
Her Highness would definitely not swallow this breath, so tonight she even spared no expense to buy those assassins from the Jianghu, just to teach Princess Ke'er a lesson.
Even if I can't kill her, at least I should make her suffer heavy losses.
But who knows the extent of Princess Ke'er's losses Nobody knows for sure, but all the assassins she purchased with heavy gold... none of them survived.
It goes without saying that the Princess Mansion of Xizi Ke'er must be filled with masters, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Before, they all looked at Lady Xizi like a little white rabbit, letting their Highness bully her.
And they have always stuck by Her Highness's side, precisely because they felt that Xizi Ke'er posed no threat to Her Highness. That is why these years they have not rushed to make a move against Princess Ke'er.
But now it seems that all these years, Xizi Ke'er has actually been a wolf in sheep's clothing, deliberately keeping a low profile.
She had unknowingly cultivated so many capable assistants who could repeatedly defuse these dangers.
Escaping again and again from assassins sent by Her Royal Highness.
It speaks volumes that Xizi Ke'er definitely has capable and extraordinary people around her.
They thought that at this moment, the prince was angry, and his anger probably wasn't just about the failure of this mission. What angered him even more was that he had misjudged people and had been deceived by Xi Zi Ke'er, a wolf in sheep's clothing, for so many years.
Xizi Pan'er's anger point was indeed as they had guessed. She raised her head and looked at her confidantes, gritting her teeth, "Has anyone from the palace sent a letter"
She wanted to ascend that throne; she couldn't have done nothing all these years, prepared for nothing.
So she had already placed her own eyes and ears within the palace.
She watched her mother's every move, so she also knew that her mother wanted someone besides Xizi Ke'er.
Especially after today's events, her mother-in-law must be able to see that Xizi Ke'er is now highly regarded by the people, and perhaps even more so than she, the empress.
So she understood better than anyone that her mother, with her temperament, would absolutely not tolerate Xizi Ke'er continuing to swagger about the capital of Xi Liang.
If the common people favor Xizi, it means that Xizi has posed a great threat to her mother's imperial throne.
No matter which monarch it is, a subject is not allowed to overpower the ruler.
So, even if Xi Zi Ke'er did nothing to provoke her, her mother would definitely find a way to harm Xi Zi Ke'er.
In the most severe case, they would take her life directly. If her mother still valued their so-called maternal bond, she might only cut off her left and right arms, leaving her unable to walk for the rest of her life and forced to crawl along, barely surviving.
I have to say, they really are like mother and daughter. They seem to know each other's thoughts so well.
At this moment, the confidante standing before him also answered Xizi's question, "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that His Majesty has indeed made a move, but his plan has also been seen through by Princess Ke'er."
"Your Majesty bribed Ke'er Princess's personal maid, intending to use her to poison the princess. Unfortunately, Ke'er Princess discovered this plot and the maid is now dead. Her body has been thrown into a mass grave."
Upon learning that her mother's plot had failed, Xizi's fingers curled inward, knuckles cracking as she clenched her fist tightly. Anger surged within her chest.
Right now, gritting my teeth with all my might, I never expected this!
Xi Zi Ke'er's life is surprisingly tough.
Thinking of this, Xizi Ke'er suddenly let out a sinister sneer, "This palace wants to see how long she can hold on by herself."
"Having said that, she then looked at her confidante and slammed the table hard. "Go, find more! No matter how much silver it takes, you must bring back all the assassins you can find. This palace doesn't believe Xizi Ke'er can be so lucky every time."
Anyway, her mother-in-law also wanted to take action. Even if she was exposed for hiring assassins to murder Xizi Ke'er, so what
Doesn't this just suit your Majesty's wishes
In essence, she was also working to ease her mother's worries.
The trusted confidant standing before him immediately bowed. "Yes."
……
Xi Zi Panger, frustrated by her failed attack, was furious.
The queen, who also learned of the mission's failure in the palace, was equally furious, her eyes burning crimson.
Upon hearing that the maid's body had been carried to the pauper's grave, she immediately hurled the jade hairpin in her hand to the ground with fury.
A very valuable jade ruyi was broken into pieces like that.
The Queen glared with furious crimson eyes, gritting her teeth. "I truly underestimated this daughter of mine. I thought all these years she had been raised like a fool, only following behind P'er like a shadow."
"Who would have thought, she is now so capable, not only learning to collude with the Princess of Beijiang, but even able to easily see through Your Majesty's thoughts. Looking at this, if Your Majesty wants to kill her, it seems you will indeed have to put in a lot more effort."
After she finished speaking, the entire palace fell silent, not even a pin could be heard.
All the palace maids and eunuchs standing in the palace dared not answer. If they dared to speak rashly at this moment, they feared that their enraged Majesty might transfer her anger onto them.
Thankfully, after the Empress's anger subsided, she calmly raised her head and looked at the guard who had returned to report, "Did Princess P'aler also fail"
The guard gritted his teeth, "Get out of the way, Princess Pander's assassin is deadly."
"!"
She, Xi Zi Ke'er, is indeed quite capable.
The Empress narrowed her eyes, silent for a long while, before suddenly turning her head to look at the screen behind her.
The screens in this great hall are embroidered with the children she has given birth to in her lifetime.
Those who have died are gone, and those who have married into foreign royal families will never return in this lifetime.
Now in this capital city, there are only two princesses left: Princess Xizhi and Princess Xizhan.
I thought, I'd let the two of them bite each other, and she could just watch the show.
Now, she found that the two people's strengths were gradually beyond her control.
As a queen, she would never allow such a thing to happen.
So, Xi Zi Ke'er is very strong now, right
If that's the case... then the next child I will lose, must be you!after a while.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ning'er, and only then did he completely relax.He did come back with his life."Ning... Ning'er, I..."Ninger saw that he was speaking with difficulty...
