Chapter 179 It’s time to reap the principal
Shen Muxi was just shocked when she saw the bloody mess.
However, those hands...
Shen Muxi had just shaken hands with him not long ago.
Even though it was covered in blood, Shen Muxi recognized it at a glance.
Fan Shan!!
She suddenly looked up at the person still sitting astride the horse.
In those eyes, there were emotions that could not be suppressed at all.
"What? Not convinced?"
This was the first time that the second princess, Fu Yongxu, was stared at with such strong hostility.
Suddenly, I became interested.
"Or do you want to be like that untouchable who just acted strangely and bumped into the flames of this princess, leaving her with a pair of hands?"
"What happened to the person whose hand you just chopped off?"
Shen Muxi felt as if his voice was stuck in his chest, and every word he uttered was excruciatingly painful.
If the princess really chopped off Fan Shan's hand, then Fan Shan might have met with an accident...
But it was Fan Shan who intercepted her on her way to Kyoto...
Her original intention was not to let Fan Shan fall into the quagmire again...
Some people who were setting up stalls on the street had already started packing up their things and quietly slipping away when they saw Fu Yongxu almost knock Shen Muxi to the ground.
In an instant, most of the streets were empty.
Shen Muxi felt his mind went blank.
His eyes, gradually filled with bloodshot, stared at Fu Yongxu.
It was as if he was going to strangle her to death the next moment.
Until a whip raised a perfect arc and swung in front of Shen Muxi with a whistling wind.
Xia Chan moved extremely quickly and quickly grabbed the whip that was about to hit Shen Muxi.
Then pull it hard.
Fu Yongxu never expected that the "untouchables" in her eyes would be so bold. She was not careful for a moment and was about to fall to the ground.
"Princess!!"
A maid in pink clothes and with twin spiral buns was horrified and quickly stepped forward and lay on the ground.
The inertia of Fu Yongxu falling off the horse was so great that she crushed the maid to the point of vomiting blood.
In contrast, the person who fell off the horse only had his hair a little messed up.
Almost at the same time, a large group of well-trained Jinwu Guards came trotting over and surrounded several people including Shen Muxi and Fu Yongxu, as if they were going to stop Shen Muxi and protect Fu Yongxu.
"Are you all blind? Beat this pariah to death for me."
Fu Yongxu stood up with the help of another maid, wishing she could skin Shen Muxi alive.
"You still won't take action?"
One of them, a young man who looked like the leader of the Jinwu Guards, stepped forward tremblingly, "Princess, please calm down. This is the Crown Princess Nanyuan. You cannot touch her."
Hearing the words of the Jinwu Guard leader, Fu Yongxu's expression froze slightly, and then her gaze returned to Shen Muxi's face.
As if confirming something.
It took a while before he got rid of the look of looking down on all living beings as ants.
"Oh it's you."
Her look grew more contemptuous.
Only then did Shen Muxi gradually regain his sanity, holding on to a sense of luck, and secretly reminded himself that those hands might not belong to Fan Shan.
When Fan Shan left, she was escorted by a coachman disguised as a secret guard...
After comforting himself several times, Shen Muxi actually calmed down completely.
At this moment, Fu Yongxu spoke again.
"Prince Nanyuan was assassinated, and you have the leisure to wander around here."
There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in her tone.
Shen Muxi was full of worry about Fan Shan and didn't want to get entangled with her.
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just let it go."
At Shen Muxi's signal, Xia Chan returned the whip in his hand to the leader of the Jinwu Guard.
After the leader of the Jinwu Guards thanked Xia Chan, he waved his hand and asked the Jinwu Guards to make way for them.
Shen Muxi was eager to go back and find out where Fan Shan was.
Just about to lift his leg and leave.
Fu Yongxu stopped him and said, "Crown Princess Nanyuan, it's a rare opportunity for us to meet, and you're planning to leave like this?"
She put away her whip and spoke reluctantly.
if not?
Shen Muxi blurted out a question, but when she saw the Jinwu Guards surrounding her again, she changed her tone and said, "I wonder what the princess wants?"
Even though Murong Jingyan told her that if the sky fell, she could hold up Prince Xian.
But at the moment, it is still unknown whether these hands belong to Fan Shan.
Murong Jingyan was not in Kyoto either, and there was chaos in Prince Rong's Mansion. She only wanted to reap the benefits of Prince Rong's Mansion and did not want to cause any trouble.
Fu Yongxu obviously didn't care about anything. She raised her head and said arrogantly, "It's your good fortune that I can ask you to stay. Don't be so shameless."
Although Shen Muxi couldn't figure out what this unpleasant princess was up to.
But his whole body was on guard.
"Girl, be careful, there's a scam..."
Xia Chan whispered a reminder in Shen Muxi's ear.
Shen Muxi nodded gently towards Xia Chan.
During this diplomatic mission to Nanyuan, Murong Jingyan mentioned the second princess Fu Yongxu to her along the way.
Rumor has it that the current Emperor of Beichen, Fu Yuanhuai, had few children because he was too extravagant when he was young.
Of the seven children, except for the second princess Fu Liuxu who lived to be eighteen, the only one left was the fifth prince who was raised by the queen and is now only two years old.
Because there were few children, Fu Liuxu was almost held in the palm of Fu Yuanhuai's hand.
As long as she sets her eyes on something, there is nothing she can't get.
The reason why Murong Jingyan mentioned her was because of her domineering and tyrannical nature.
The fact that she forced a man named Tanhua Lang to marry him three years ago, who already had a fiancée, and then killed him in extremely cruel ways less than a year later, was enough to shock the rest of the court.
If she were a princess from another country, let alone forcing her to marry or even torturing the third place winner, the mere act of forcibly breaking up an engaged couple would be enough to ruin her reputation.
But in Beichen, Fu Yuanhuai still did his own thing, and even when the impeachment memorials piled up like a mountain, he just smiled it off.
In order to protect Fu Yongxu's safety, a special Jinwu Guard was assigned to her...
This time, he invited her to have tea on their first meeting, and it was only after he was almost whipped by her and knew her identity that he made the invitation.
Shen Muxi naturally had to make all the preparations he could.
For a woman who could even abuse and kill her newlywed husband, she didn't believe that the other party would really sit down and communicate with her sincerely.
Seeing that Shen Muxi did not refute anymore.
Fu Yongxu said, "Take her to the west of the city," then got back on the horse and galloped away.
The leader of the Jinwu Guards seemed very embarrassed, "Crown Princess, I'm sorry."
Shen Muxi pursed her lips and said nothing.
The large group of people went to the west of the city together.
The Princess's Palace is located in the west of Kyoto.
But those people did not take her to the princess's mansion, but took her to another flower bed and waterside pavilion connected to the back garden of the princess's mansion.
The flower terrace and waterside pavilion are located in the center of the lake, with only one way in and out.
After Shen Muxi entered the water pavilion, even Xia Chan was stopped outside the pavilion.
Before Shen Muxi sat down, Fu Yongxu looked at her with hostility, "Are you really Murong Jingyan's wife?"
She didn't ask if she was the Crown Princess.
Instead, he asked directly if she was Murong Jingyan's wife.
Shen Muxi had a vague guess in his mind, but he nodded calmly, "That's right."
Fu Yongxu snorted sarcastically, "You're not worthy of him. If you know what's good for you, just leave her. I can give you a few concubines to make you ecstatic."
what?
Shen Muxi looked at Fu Yongxu, as if to confirm whether the person who spoke was a human...
It would be fine if he just had a brutal and domineering personality, but now he actually said such words openly.
Does she have no awareness of her own identity, or does she feel that no matter how big a disaster she gets into, her father, the emperor, will cover for her?
Shen Muxi's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Princess, you're joking. This joke isn't funny at all."
As if her patience had run out, she stood up again. "Let's put it aside for now. This is disrespectful to me, Nan Yuan. No normal person would say such a thing. If the princess is unwilling to communicate with me properly, then I don't think this little chat is necessary."
"How dare you say that about my princess? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Before Fu Yongxu could even speak, another maidservant beside her, Du Juan, jumped up and said, "Who do you think you are? Our princess is talking to you nicely because she likes you. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."
"Are all your Beichen men dead? Why do you have to keep targeting married men?" Shen Muxi refused to be outdone.
She couldn't bear it any longer.
If you are so cowardly when visiting someone else's home, then what's the point of coming?
After a burst of outbursts, she was about to leave without mercy.
Fu Yongxu had never been disobeyed like this before, and her anger was rising for a moment.
"You...you ignorant bitch, you actually dared to curse my Beichen Erlang. If I don't teach you a lesson, you will never learn your lesson."
"Someone, help me stop this bitch."
Seeing that Fu Yongxu was serious, the leader of the Jinwu Guards hurried forward to persuade her, "Princess, calm down, calm down. This is the Crown Princess of Nanyuan and an envoy from Nanyuan. You can't teach her a lesson. If His Majesty knew about it, he would worry about your reputation later..."
When Fu Yongxu heard the leader mention the current emperor, the expression on his face finally relaxed.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with resentment - damn it, why is Murong Jingyan the Prince of Nanyuan?
Looking at the indifferent look on the face of the woman in front of him who claimed to be Murong Jingyan's wife was really an eyesore.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. Fu Yongxu took a few steps forward and raised her hand to slap Shen Muxi.
Her speed was so fast that it was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
The leader of the Jinwu Guards even shouted, "Princess, no!!"
Shen Muxi was on edge the whole time, fearing that Fu Yongxu would suddenly attack.
Unexpectedly, she guessed it right.
She dodged Fu Yongxu's slap with ease.
During this time, Fu Yongxu's nails hooked Shen Muxi's clothes at the shoulder and pulled out a long piece of silk.
Suddenly, Fu Yongxu smelled a strange fragrance, which was quickly blown away by the wind.
Shen Muxi took a few steps back, keeping five steps away from her, his face completely gloomy.
"I, the Crown Princess, have already experienced the hospitality of Beichen. Whatever you did to me while Your Highness was unconscious, I will tell you one by one when Your Highness wakes up. Then I will see how you, the King of Beichen, will explain to me."
Her words were filled with righteous indignation, and her whole body exuded a fierceness and majesty that kept strangers away.
For a moment, it actually frightened the Jinwu Guards.
Shen Muxi left and no one dared to stop her.
"You are a bunch of traitors. I have been bullied like this, and you are still indifferent?"
The servants and guards were all silent.
Fu Yongxu continued to whip the maid and guard closest to her.
The exquisite tea set was whipped to the ground.
Dujuan stepped forward cautiously to persuade him.
"Princess, don't be angry..."
"Snapped--"
A loud slap landed on Du Juan's face, leaving a very deep and thin wound on her face.
At first, the wound only oozed blood, but soon the blood beads gathered together and formed a thin line, and then blood flowed out.
Dujuan quickly knelt on the ground with her head lowered, not daring to say a word.
"You can't even stop a woman, what a bunch of trash." Fu Yongxu angrily scolded the Jinwu Guards and angrily led the way towards the Princess's Mansion, "Go back."
...
Princess House.
As soon as she stepped into the mansion, Fu Yongxu's stomach began to ache.
Du Juan didn't care about the right side of her face that was still bleeding, and hurriedly ordered the servants, "Quick, go get the imperial physician."
Almost at the same time, a long fart sounded throughout the princess's mansion.
Along with the sound of "crackling", a strange smell quickly spread.
Fu Yongxu's face changed drastically, and she glared at the servants who followed the sound, "What are you looking at? Do you believe that I will dig out your eyes? Why don't you go get some water?"
The servants were all silent, each busy with their own things.
The imperial physician arrived in a hurry and was dragged away to examine Fu Yongxu before he even had time to put down his medicine box.
"Your Highness, you accidentally ate something cold. Just drink some ginger tea later."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Fu Yongxu was fine.
"It must be that vile woman who polluted my eyes."
Fu Yongxu lay on the bed and spoke angrily.
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started to cramp again.
"Where's the toilet?"
Several servants hurriedly carried the toilet into her private toilet.
It was another earth-shattering collapse with a hint of flavor.
...
at dusk.
What happened in the princess's mansion in the afternoon reached Shen Muxi's ears earlier than the news He Hong had found out about Fan Shan.
When she heard Fu Yongxu put all the blame on her.
She smiled coldly and said nothing more.
If an ordinary mediocre doctor had thought the poison in Fu Yongxu's body was just a common cold, he would have asked her to drink ginger tea.
But she didn't know that the moment she drank the first sip of ginger tea, the poison in her body would slowly transform into a chronic and fatal poison.
The poisoned person will become increasingly weaker and weaker, and no one can find the cause.
This was the decision to poison Fan Shan before she knew whether she was alive or dead.
If Fan Shan was fine, she would let Fu Yongxu live a safe and sound life and would always be a sickly person.
If those hands really belong to Fan Shan, then...
She should have died like the old Princess Rong.
Thinking of Prince Rong's Mansion, Shen Muxi called Xia Chan.
"How's the Su Mansion doing lately?"
"Su Liuxi was frightened by Yu Yuexi because she had promised Gu Shi that she would take him to find the fake Su Yong.
Gu Shi kindly found Doctor Liu to treat Yu Yuexi. When Doctor Liu told her that the poison Yu Yuexi was infected with was the same as the one Su Liuxi was poisoned with, she felt very unwell.
Not only did he become crazy, he also kept muttering to himself, saying things like "Don't come to take my life..."
Shen Muxi sneered, "I told you before that I would go back and claim her life, but she didn't believe me and had to endure the pain before she gave up."
With that, she stood up and walked into the house.
Xia Chan hurried to follow.
"It's not bedtime yet, are you tired, girl?"
"No, change your clothes and go to the Rongjun Palace to see if you should free Su Liuxi in advance."
Su Liuxi tortured and killed her at that time, and Yu Yuexi tortured and killed her Xiaoxiao.
She still harbored a lot of resentment in her heart.
Now that the interest has been collected, it is time to collect the principal.
