Chapter 721 Murderous Intent
The Li family is also a big family in the capital, and the seventh young master of the Li family is of good character. He is currently serving as a fifth-grade palace guard captain in the palace.
The most important reason that made the Guo family agree to betroth their daughter to the seventh young master of the Li family is that the seventh young master’s father is the magistrate of Jiangning City, and the third master of the Xia family is in charge of the general affairs of the Xia family. In recent years, the Xia family has become more and more important. Some of our businesses have become big, and we have to deal with the prefect in many places.
Mrs. Guo thought that being related to the magistrate would definitely be beneficial to her husband's business, and their third wife would definitely benefit a lot from it, so she agreed to the marriage.
Otherwise, her goal is to find a son-in-law for Xia Zilan, even if he is not as good as Chu Jingqi, he must be much better than him.
Chu Jingqi told Xia Zihan, "After the official document is unsealed, the sixth master of the Li family will be transferred to the capital, and the emperor has raised his rank."
That's promotion.
Xia Zihan said happily, "Didn't the Emperor specifically ask the sixth master of the Li family to make way for Liao Jingtang?"
"Silly girl, even if the emperor takes a fancy to Liao Jingtang's talent and ability, he will not specifically ask the sixth master of the Li family to give up his position for him. It's just that the sixth master of the Li family has been the prefect of Jiangning City for six years, and his evaluations are all excellent. It’s time to move his position.”
In that case, Liao Jingtang did not offend the Li family.
Xia Zihan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good." Then he sighed, "The place chosen by the emperor is so good, it is just right for Liao Jingtang."
Jiangning is not close to the capital, nor is it far from the capital. It is a ten-day journey and twenty days round trip. This time is stuck in a place where it is difficult to go up and down. In the coming New Year, Liao Jingtang will take a twenty-day break, and the couple will also It’s an excuse not to go back to Beijing for the New Year.
Mrs. Liao just wanted to embarrass Zeng Jing, but she couldn't embarrass her even if she couldn't see anyone.
Chu Jingqi whispered about Zhang Wenzu again, "Yesterday, the emperor told me that news came from Sun City that the evidence against Zhang Wenzu has been collected almost. After the Lantern Festival and the morning court resumes, the censor will collect the evidence against Zhang Wenzu." After the news reaches the court, the emperor can issue an order to arrest the Zhang family members.”
"Did the news leak?" If it leaked, Zhang Wenzu would probably make some preparations, right?
"Zhang Wenzu may have guessed a long time ago that he wanted to send his son Zhang Zhi away, but he was robbed on the way." Chu Jingqi said with an unpredictable smile.
"Who robbed you?" It couldn't be this guy, could it?
"It's from my aunt." Chu Jingqi said, "She sent Tiansha to go there in person."
Shui Furong would not be lenient at all to those who wanted to kill her nephew, nephew's wife.
Tiansha is the chief hall master of the First Floor under Heaven, and he is also the most ruthless person in the First Floor under Heaven. After he kidnapped Zhang Zhi, he locked Zhang Zhi in the dungeon of the First Floor under Heaven, and then ordered Brother, if you treat Zhang Zhi well, you can’t kill him yet.
After Zhang Wenzu was sent to prison, Shui Furong still wanted to return Zhang Zhi to the court.
Xia Zihan grinned happily and said, "After Zhang Wenzu finds out, how can he be so angry?"
"My aunt is always cautious in doing things. Zhang Wenzu thought his son was still on his way to Jiangnan."
Zhang Wenzu must have wanted to leave a trace of blood for the Zhang family.
The couple chatted until the sun came out before they even thought about getting up.
Chu Jingqi got off the ground, took her coat, and put it on.
Since the two got married, Chu Jingqi has never asked any maid or servant to attend to him dressing or combing his hair. Xia Zihan has always attended to him.
Now that Xia Zihan was pregnant with the child, he didn't let Xia Zihan wait on her. He did it all by himself. After he finished dressing and washing, he would wait on Xia Zihan to dress and wash. He didn't even need a maid.
The maid only appears during three meals a day.
However, it seemed different today. As soon as he put on a sleeve, he heard the door creaking and a beautiful figure walked in from the outside. Before Chu Jingqi could see clearly who the person was, the person ran over and said, "Master Shizi" , my servant is here to help you get dressed." It was a strange voice.
He was familiar with all the maids in this yard. There was no need to guess about this stranger. Chu Jingqi already knew who the visitor was. His face darkened, and he quickly avoided the stretched out white hand with a cold mouth. Said, "Get out."
"Your Majesty, this servant is Ding Cui, who was given to the Crown Prince by the Queen." Ding Cui was stunned for a moment, then looked aggrieved and stared at Chu Jingqi with affectionate eyes.
Seeing that Chu Jingqi is indeed as beautiful as the legend, he is not as beautiful as a mortal, no, he is simply more beautiful than an immortal.
If she could have sex with such a man, she would be willing to die.
When she thought that she could become Chu Jingqi's pillow, Ding Cui's pretty face turned crimson and she said shyly, "The princess is pregnant now. The queen felt pity that the princess could not serve the prince, so she rewarded me." After the death of the prince, I still hope that the prince will show mercy. From now on, I will let my slaves serve the prince.”
"Love?" Chu Jingqi raised her lips disdainfully, "Are you worthy of it?"
Ding Cui's face turned pale in an instant.
Chu Jingqi said coldly, "If you don't go out, you can go out sideways."
Ding Cui didn't realize what this sentence meant at first. After a moment, she realized what it meant. Her face turned even paler, and the look in her eyes that looked at Chu Jingqi was no longer infatuated. It was completely filled with fear, terror, and creepiness.
"Slave...slave deserves to die, this...get out now."
Ding Cui bowed tremblingly and ran out of the house.
As soon as she left the house and closed the door, Ding Cui leaned against the door. Her aunt breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had saved her life from the hands of King Yama just now.
Just now, she really felt murderous aura from Chu Jingqi's body.
Yes, it was murderous. If she continued to pester him, I was afraid he would kill her.
"Hey, didn't you break in to serve the prince? Why, you were kicked out?" Chu Qing gloated and laughed mockingly.
Ding Cui ignored her.
All she could think about was Chu Jingqi's ridiculously beautiful face. She was afraid of and liked that face, and she was thinking about how to get close to Chu Jingqi without being disgusted and bored by him.
In the room, Chu Jingqi stared at the figure running out, snorted mockingly, and continued to put on her clothes.
Chu Jingqi leaned on the big pillow and said with a smile, "You scared her. After all, she is also a little beauty, and she is the one awarded to you by the Queen. It represents your honor. Even if you don't like it, you shouldn't Treat people like this.”
"Hmph..." Chu Jingqi snorted disdainfully, "Call Yazi to come this morning and sell them all to me."
He didn't like being disturbed by inexplicable people when he and Ayu were living in their own world.
"Sell it now. If word gets out, people will laugh at me for being a jealous woman." Xia Zihan said with a smile.
Well, actually, she didn't mind what people said about her at all. However, she hadn't contacted the people at Xinghua Tower yet, so she sent them there just in case someone heard that these two girls were the queen's empress. People, don’t you dare to accept it?
Well, it seems that she still has to do some tricks.
Xia Zihan thought to himself.
