MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart-Chapter 121 assassination
Sima Chao returned to the mansion and strode towards the living room.
As expected, Concubine Guo and Princess Shuangchi were there, and Sima Zhengde and his wife were accompanying them. Sima Chao greeted the concubine and the princess and stood beside his father with his head bowed.
Concubine Guo glanced at Sima Chao, then said to Sima Zhengde: "The general loves his son so much like a father. Among all the gentlemen in the capital, I only like the young general."
Everyone can hear the profound meaning of these words.
Shuangchi sat under Concubine Guo. Hearing this, he glanced at Sima Chao quietly with a smile on his face.
When Sima Zhengde heard this, he stroked his beard, laughed dryly, and did not answer. The concubine had a smile on her face and said respectfully to Concubine Guo: "Thank you for being in love with Concubine Guo by mistake, but this child has followed her father to the South since she was a child. He is from the Northern War and has a very rough temperament."
Concubine Guo smiled and replied: "In this world, men need to be a little wild to survive in the world." After saying that, she looked at Sima Zhengde and said with a smile: "General, don't you think so?"
With that said, she said to Wang Jia: "Go and call her over. Tell her that I have something to ask her about, and ask her to come see you."
Sima Supernatural is already aware of this matter.
After the princess left, the concubine also found an excuse to leave, leaving space for Concubine Guo to talk about business with her children and grandchildren.
Sima Zhengde frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What the noble concubine said is true."
Mrs. Tai replied: "The autumn chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming just right now." After saying that, she called the steward and ordered people to take Shuangchi out to visit the garden.
Shuangchi returned to the palace angrily. He summoned his confidant Jian maid and ordered: "Go and find a few reliable people. I will make that sinful girl named Luo disappear forever."
The moon was dark and windy, with no stars or moon. It was already midnight after Love finished embroidery. She stood up, stretched her waist, blew out the candle, and went to bed.
It turned out that Sima Zhengde rejected this marriage in front of Concubine Guo yesterday. Sima Zhengde loved his eldest son after all and couldn't bear to make him unhappy. He rejected Concubine Guo's intention to marry his daughter to Sima Chao, but he did not give up. The in-laws sealed the alliance with Guo Guifei, and Sima Zhengde proposed to marry his legitimate daughter Sima Chuqing to the King of Qi.
Shuangchi was thinking about Sima Chao. She came here with the imperial concubine just to find out about Sima Chao. After hearing Wang Jia's self-report, she replied: "I am worried that there is no one to accompany me to the garden." Well, just go with us."
Shuangchi followed the steward into the garden. She was bored when Wang Jia walked towards Shuangchi.
Wang Jia replied: "I don't know much about the taboos between men and women. I only heard that my cousin has a concubine, which makes him very happy. My cousin once disobeyed my aunt because of this concubine. I I also heard my aunt mention this matter, so I know something about it."
The next day, Sima Chao went to the palace as an errand. As soon as he entered the inner palace, he was fooled by Shuangchi.
Shuangchi saw that since she was betrothed, it meant that this woman had no intention of spying on Sima Chao. She lowered her guard against Wang Jia, smiled at her, and asked, "Does your cousin have any hobbies in his daily life?" ?”
"You lied!" Shuangchi's shoulders heaved with anger, and he pointed at Sima Chao and said: "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. What I can't get, hum! No one else can get it either. .”
Wang Jia replied: "Her name is Luofu. She was the daughter of the former Taifu. She was so beautiful. My cousin was so fascinated by her that he surrounded her all day long."
He didn't even look at Shuangchi, but replied coldly: "Father has decided to marry the third sister to the King of Qi. From now on, the Sima Mansion will definitely serve the imperial concubine and the King of Qi."
Love was sleeping deeply when she was suddenly awakened by the thick smoke. When she opened her eyes, she saw flames shooting into the sky from all sides. Before she knew it, the whole house was surrounded by raging fire.
The window was burning, and it was impossible for her to escape. The door was shrouded in thick smoke. She didn't know what was going on. Seeing the flames reaching the roof, Love didn't think much about it. She wrapped herself in a quilt and headed towards the door. Run.
Seventy-nine. One-sixty-nine. Sixty-nine. One-hundred and fifty
She asked anxiously: "What is the origin of this concubine?"
Shuangchi looked at Sima Chao, his eyes burning with anger, and asked, "I heard from my mother that you are not willing to marry me, are you?"
When Shuangchi heard this, his heart suddenly sank.
Sima Chao was grateful for his father's hard work. He didn't want to offend Shuangchi, so he just said perfunctorily: "As a military general, I have been conquering east and west all year round, and there are always risks. I don't want to implicate the princess, and I have no plans to get married now."
Shuangchi frowned and asked, "Where did the young general move her?"
Wang Jia then informed Shuangchi of Love's residence.
Shuangchi's face darkened and he snorted coldly: "A daughter of a guilty minister actually has such abilities. I would like to meet her." Qiu Ying, the female officer who followed Shuangchi beside her, hurriedly replied: "This woman, Princess I've seen her before, when we went to Qinghe for spring hunting, she even pretended to be a ghost to scare you, does the princess still remember her?"
Wang Jia rolled his eyes and replied: "My daughter is already hair-haired and engaged. I am still free before getting married, so I came to Sima Mansion to accompany my aunt for a few days."
After the female officer mentioned it like this, Shuangchi suddenly remembered it, and she said bitterly: "So it's her."
She was very tired, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.
Shuangchi asked her: "Are you willing to marry someone else?"
Shuangchi looked Wang Jia up and down and asked, "Who are you?"
“I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess.”
Concubine Guo saw that her daughter had been staring at Sima Chao. She secretly glared at her daughter and said to the Taifu: "I heard that your garden is well built. My daughter is the most restless. I am here to talk with the general." Please tell me, Madam, please order someone to take Shuangchi out for a walk."
When Wang Jia saw Dao'er on Shuangchi, a sly smile appeared on her lips, and she stepped forward and replied: "Princess, you don't know something. That Luo family relied on her cousin's favor to stir up troubles in this mansion again and again, irritating the two homeowners. My mother is tired of her, and my cousin has moved her to live outside in order to protect her."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Shuangchi. He stared at Sima Chao and asked, "Don't talk about this. I'm just asking you, why don't you want to marry me?"
Wang Jia thanked him and followed Shuangchi step by step.
Love was shocked. She quickly pulled the towel on the pillow and covered her mouth and nose, looking for a way out in a panic.
She pushed the door through the quilt, but it was locked from the outside, and she couldn't open it no matter what.
Just as she was about to turn around and find another way to survive, a section of the roof beam suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, Love dodged in time and survived.
Surrounded by fire on all sides, it would be difficult for her to escape without reaching the sky.
