Chapter 283
The tragedy of the Xiangfu did not end here.
Early the next morning, hundreds of guards surrounded the prime minister's mansion.
These guards are all secret guards of Prince An's Mansion.
Prince An never ordered anyone to look at Yuan Cuiyu, because that day in the Yuan Mansion, he said to her: "I will fulfill your self-esteem and fulfill your choices, but I hope you know that I am here. If you need me, I will help you." I will come at any time, but if you don't need me, I won't disturb your peace."
Until that day, Nanny Yang came to the door and told Prime Minister Xia about the violence.
In a rage, he was crowned a beauty, and led troops to intercept the Prime Minister's mansion.
He hadn't worn armor for a long time, and today, he put it on.
His war career had ended many years ago. He was tired of war and fighting, but this time he put on his armor again and wanted to tell some people that he was willing to fight again, for one person.
The old lady didn't sleep all night, and early in the morning, she heard Cuiyu say that the prime minister's mansion was blocked, and it was Prince An who brought people here.
She was so angry that she hurriedly put on her clothes and went out.
Seeing Prince An in golden armor riding on horseback with a face as cold as ice, she immediately said a few words to Cuiyu, and Cuiyu quickly went out through the back door.
The old lady sneered a few times, "Prince An, you besieged the Prime Minister's mansion for no reason. If you don't say you are ugly today, I will risk my life, and I will argue with you."
Prince An rode his horse and approached, his handsome face covered with a layer of chill, "Tell Xia Huaijun to come out."
"Prince An, don't deceive others too much."
He sneered with thin lips, raised his hand, and a group of archers jumped up the wall. The smell of kerosene filled the old lady's nose, and the tips of the arrows were all coated with kerosene.
"Say it again, my king, tell Xia Huaijun to come out." Prince An's eyebrows were beating with anger, and he said coldly.
Seeing such a desperate Prince An, the old lady was inexplicably afraid, but she didn't believe that he dared to set fire to the Prime Minister's mansion in broad daylight in front of so many people.
She said sternly and softly: "He is not feeling well, if you have anything to tell me, I am still in charge of this Prime Minister's mansion."
Prince An raised his hand without blinking his brows, and the archer lit the arrow and flew towards the Prime Minister's mansion like a rain of fire.
At the same time, several men in black flew over the Xiangfu, entered Xiazhiyuan, and took away the people in Xiazhiyuan.
Where can the old lady stop her? Under Prince An's iron ride, her arrogance only seemed ridiculous.
Prince An drove straight in and came to Prime Minister Xia's room.
He was alone there for nearly a quarter of an hour. There were screams from inside, and no one in the Prime Minister's mansion dared to go in. The old lady was blocked outside, and the fire continued to burn.
Aunt Cuiyu went to look for Prince Li, and the old lady was also smart, so instead of looking for Mrs. Liang, she went to look for Prince Li. Prince Li valued royal etiquette, so he must not tolerate Prince An's nonsense today.
However, when Aunt Cuiyu went to Prince Li's Mansion, Chen Taijun happened to be there too.
Prince Li was going, but Chen Taijun stopped him, "This is his personal grievance, why ask so many questions?"
Prince Li was slightly startled, looked at Chen Taijun, and listened to her advice.
"Prime Minister Xia and Prince An have had a long-standing grievance. It is naturally his fault for burning down the Prime Minister's Mansion because of a Danqing county lord. However, if he hadn't been forced into a corner, would he be like this? The Prime Minister ordered someone to come here privately." It is inappropriate to find you, she should report to the government and let the government handle it."
Prince Li thought it made sense, so he sent Aunt Cuiyu away.
Chen Taijun sighed softly, "Actually, the county magistrate Danqing, I think the old man has mixed reputations. She is talented and smart, but she has too much self-esteem and is unwilling to commit herself to a fight with the prime minister. Xia Zian's sixteen years of misery Half of her life is caused by her. Now that Xia Zian is strong, she is still so meek. Although she has done a few things that make people happy, it is not enough, far from enough. She actually knows that with her Influence, with her intelligence and intelligence, it is more than enough to deal with the old lady and even Prime Minister Xia, but she never does it, and never asks for help. It is her capital that someone is willing to cover her, she did not use this capital, and her fate today is her punishment."
Prince Li nodded, "Yes, but I'm not interested in these things, and I don't understand why the second child likes a rabbit like Yuan Cuiyu."
"Few people like tigers, the prince is an exception." Chen Taijun glanced at him with a smile.
"This king thinks it's better for women to be stronger. It's really boring to keep backing away after being bullied."
Chen Taijun said: "Yuan Cuiyu has a temperament, and only when he marries the right person can he be happy. Just like in the past, if he married Prince An, Prince An would hold her in the palm of his hand and let her live the life he wanted. It was a happy marriage.”
Prince Li thought for a while, "Do you think it is possible that Yuan Cuiyu was beaten intentionally this time?"
"On purpose?" The old matriarch thought for a while, "This... I have never thought about it."
Prince Li shook his head, "If she did it on purpose, then there must be a countermeasure. Perhaps the second child's trouble is also part of her plan."
Chen Taijun felt that Prince Li's idea was possible. After all, Yuan Cuiyu shouldn't be so cowardly and beaten like this. Moreover, her people had walked through the Prime Minister's Mansion before and found that the Prime Minister's Mansion had hidden guards. , it was guessed that Xia Zian arranged to protect Yuan Cuiyu.
However, when Yuan Cuiyu was beaten, these hidden guards did not show up.
Yuan Cuiyu was taken away by Prince An's men and placed in the Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Cuiyu's head was drenched in boiling water, it became red, swollen and blistered, and some places began to lose hair, and the injury on his forehead was also inflamed.
Nanny Yang helped her to sit down, Yuan Cuiyu said: "Call Pan Dan to come in."
Nanny Yang said angrily: "Why did you call him here? If he hadn't walked away that day, the county master wouldn't have been beaten so badly."
Yuan Cuiyu had a slight smile on his face, "Go ahead and let him in."
Seeing that she insisted on this, Mother Yang had no choice but to go out and pass on Pan Dan.
Pan Dan came in, cupped his hands and said, "Master."
"Well, Mr. Wen, is everything written?" Yuan Cuiyu asked.
"Returning to the county lord, Mr. Wen was told by his subordinates about what happened yesterday, and Mr. Wen wrote it up immediately. I heard that he sent it out early this morning. Soon, everyone in Beijing will know that the prime minister beat him up. County lord, within a day, the attention of the common people will shift and they will stop staring at the eldest lady."
Yuan Cuiyu nodded, "Well, that's good. As long as the people don't create pressure on the court, the prince can delay for a few days. Today, Prince An's trouble is like this, and the prime minister's mansion is also in dire straits, and there is no time to chase and kill Zi'an."
Pan Dan smiled, "That's right, just as the county lord expected, now that the prime minister's mansion is too busy to take care of themselves, how can they go out and hunt down the eldest lady?"
Nanny Yang was confused, she looked suspiciously at Pan Dan, then at Yuan Cui, "What's going on?"
Pan Dan smiled and said: "Nurse, Prime Minister Xia came to look for his subordinate yesterday and gave him a sum of money to let him avoid it for a while, so the county lord will know that he is about to get ruthless."
