Chapter Eighty-Four: She's Pregnant
Since Rong Lu sent a message to Queen Jinhe, she has been waiting for Jin Dao to come back. www.biquge.info In the afternoon of the riding and archery competition, the golden knife did not attend, and disappeared for a whole afternoon.
Where did the golden knife go? Didn't she just chase Chu Ziyu! She chased him all afternoon, but she didn't catch him. It was about to get dark, so I returned to the account angrily.
As soon as she returned to the account, she saw that Queen Jinhe was waiting for her in the tent, thinking that there was something important, but she came to tell her about marriage, and the person she wanted to marry was Chu Ziyu. She couldn't help but get angry.
"Sister, how can you let me marry that yellow-haired boy? I won't marry, I'm going to marry, you can get married. For this marriage with Chu Ziyu, Jin Dao was full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
"Sister, listen to me......" Queen Jinhe kept circling around the golden sword.
"Sister, you don't need to say it, I won't marry him if I say anything, don't marry! Don't marry! Don't marry! Just don't marry!" The overly excited golden knife sprayed the saliva on the face of the Queen of Jinhe.
The Queen of Jinhe wiped her face with a silk handkerchief, and suddenly hid her face and wept. Jin Dao heard her cry and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Sister, why are you crying?"
"This is the emperor's holy decree to marry, if you don't marry, then Di Rong is probably gone. The Queen of the Golden River looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"How can the emperor be so unreasonable? I'll go to him to reason. "The golden knife has a straight temperament, and when he raises his feet, he will go to Dongfang Zheng.
This marriage was originally proposed by Queen Jinhe, but when she saw that Jin Dao was not allowed to live or die, she remembered to use the holy decree to give marriage to pressure her. At this time, if the golden knife really went to Dongfang Zheng, the matter would definitely be smashed, so she hurriedly shouted, "Golden knife!"
The Golden River Queen rarely got angry, and the Golden Knife was naturally bluffed by her. Queen Jinhe frowned like a small mountain bag, and said to her: "We, Di Rong, have always been dependent on the dynasty to survive, if you anger the emperor because of your marriage, the dynasty will no longer give us shelter." Look at the wolf-like tribes around us, and any one of them can swallow us. ”
Jin Dao twisted his eyebrows and stomped his feet, and replied: "Chu Ziyu in the ring today, sister, you also saw it, such a cheap and nasty bastard, how can I live with him?"
"Sister, think about it again, you are the prince, and when you get married, he will listen to you, and you can call him like a slave. Queen Jinhe raised her willow eyebrows, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Hearing her words, Jin Dao thought for a while, "I beat him and scolded him, he can't fight back, won't he take revenge in the ring today!
"That's a good idea, and I agreed. My sister went to tell the emperor that I would marry him as soon as possible. Jin Dao's mood suddenly brightened, and he really wished that this day would come sooner.
The Queen of the Golden River finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the golden knife was relieved, otherwise this matter would not have ended.
For this marriage, Chu Ziyu also absolutely disapproves. Chu Zhixin understood him with reason and affection, and explained the stakes to him, so he reluctantly agreed, but his consent was only superficial consent.
He is very smart and knows how to judge the situation, and he immediately has a countermeasure: the emperor gives marriage, if he escapes the marriage, the Chu family is resistant, and he will be beheaded all over the house, and he will be connected to the nine clans. If you marry and run away, there will be no such thing as resistance, and doing so will definitely anger the old girl Jin Dao.
He thought of the initiator of the whole thing: Princess Xuan, and thought that he must settle accounts with her when he returned to the imperial capital.
**
On the way back to the palace, I didn't say a word to Dongfang Xun. He didn't say a word to me, and rode his horse to the side of the carriage. The sound of horses' hooves rang in his ears, and he thought of Chu Ziyu and the golden knife in a trance, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
After arriving at the palace, it was already early in the morning. Dongfang Xun took my maidservant to send me back to Yulan Garden to rest, and sat in the front hall waiting for Zhang An to reply.
"What's the matter? When the king was away, did something happen in the palace?" He had already seen that Zhang An's expression was different, and he must have something to repay.
"The villain sent someone to deliver a letter to the prince this morning, didn't the prince receive it?" asked Zhang An in surprise.
"No!" Dongfang Xun said.
Zhang An muttered with a full face, "This is weird." Then the expression on his face changed greatly, "Lord Wang, the coachman Yang Santai is dead!"
Dongfang Xun was taken aback, and suddenly had some bad feelings in his heart, and asked, "Have you taken care of everything?"
He didn't ask when he died or how he died, because Sun Xuan pretended to be Santai and went to Shangyuan, so this matter would most likely implicate Sun Xuan, so he didn't ask.
"The body has been returned to his home, and the bereavement has been given two pieces of silver. Zhang An replied.
"Now that everything has been dealt with, what else is there to worry about?" Dongfang Xun said lightly.
It should have been fine, but Yang Santai was suffocated to death, and before he died, he was tied to the toilet with a rope. His family saw that there were many strangulation marks on the corpse and had already reported it to the Metropolitan Criminal Division. Zhang An replied.
"What?" Dongfang Xun stood up suddenly.
But this is not the worst, just listen to Zhang An continue: "When the Criminal Division questioned the case, someone in the mansion pointed out that Princess Xuan did it. It happened that she was not in the house again, and it was rumored that she had killed people and goods, and absconded for fear of crime. The Criminal Division has already issued a sea fishing document, and Princess Xuan has become a wanted criminal. ”
"No way, it can't be what she did. She has no grievances with Santai and will never kill him. Dongfang Xun paced back and forth in the room.
Since the accident, Zhang An has thought carefully that Santai was tied up in the latrine, and there was someone else who drove the carriage the day before yesterday. Now when I saw Dongfang Xun and Sun Xuan returning to the palace together, and then carefully recalled the coachman that day, her body was about the same as Sun Xuan, and she had asked herself about the autumn hunt, so she knew about it in her heart.
"The villain inquired about the results of the autopsy of the Metropolitan Criminal Division, Santai was drugged and unconscious before he died, could it be that the princess missed......" Zhang An whispered his guess.
Dongfang Xun listened to his words, frowned, and asked again: "Have you ever gone to lobby his family?", he thought that if the Yang family withdrew the lawsuit, it would be remedied.
"The villain went, they wanted whatever money they wanted, and all the good and bad things were said, but his family refused to withdraw the lawsuit for anything, and said that if the criminal department did not give the Yang family justice, they would go to sue the royal court. ”
Zhang An was already sweating urgently.
"Then the Criminal Division, are you going?" asked Dongfang Xun.
"The villain of the Criminal Division also went, but Master Zhang said that he would handle it impartially. There is no way for the villain to do it. Zhang An has indeed tried his best, in the past two days, he has broken his leg and worn out his mouth, but no one on either side will let go.
Dongfang Xun fell into deep thought, he had only been away from the house for two days, why did such a thing happen, and the spearhead of the whole thing was pointed at Sun Xuan. What should we do now?
"Lord Wang, the villain thinks this thing is very strange. Zhang An said suddenly.
"What's the weird method?" Dongfang Xun asked when he came back to his senses.
"Master Zhang of the Metropolitan Criminal Division is not a person who is not a good talker, and this time he is also under the pressure of public opinion. Regarding Yang Santai, it seems that someone is hyping it up in the imperial capital, and in just one night, everyone in the imperial capital said that the princess was the murderer, and they were all watching how the criminal department dealt with it. Zhang An replied.
This means that someone deliberately wanted to put Sun Xuan to death, Dongfang Xun frowned even deeper when he heard this. I was a little glad in my heart, but they arrived at the house in the early morning today, and no one saw them on the road.
"You immediately send someone to put the princess in the dungeon and watch her carefully, but you must not wronged her. The matter of her return to the house must be kept secret, if it is leaked out, this king will ask you. "Dongfang Xun
"Yes, but shouldn't the princess know about this?" Zhang An had another problem.
"Don't tell her yet. Dongfang Xun said.
The autumn hunt is not over yet, he has to go back to Shangyuan, and someone must deal with this matter, at this time he first thought of Ye Su. I thought that if he was there, he would definitely be able to handle it.
"Has Ye Su returned home?" he asked.
Zhang An didn't know if Ye Su had returned to the imperial capital, but as the head of the palace, he definitely couldn't tell Dongfang Xun that he didn't know, so he asked instead, "Didn't Lord Ye go back to Shangyang?"
"These days, it's time for him to come back!" Dongfang Xun said.
He remembered that he seemed to have not seen Ye Su for a long time, and he remembered the matter between himself and Concubine Li, and felt that he was sorry for the brotherhood with Ye Su. It was as if he was stuck in his throat, and he felt that he had no face to ask Ye Su to help. But in such an extraordinary period, it can't be done without his help.
"Hurry up and go to the General's Mansion to see if he has come back, and if he does, let him come to the palace to see the king. Dongfang Xun anxiously commanded. He has to go back to Shangyuan after dawn, and this matter must be resolved before dawn.
"Yes, the villain is going!" Zhang An bent down to exit the front hall.
He just took a few steps back and stopped, his face suddenly brightened, and he said excitedly: "Lord, Concubine Li is pregnant!", Zhang An has been the head of the palace for more than ten years, and seeing that Dongfang Xun has so many wives, but they are all out of nowhere, he is really anxious! Now Concubine Li is finally pregnant, and the palace is finally going to have a little prince.
"What?" Dongfang Xun was stunned for a moment.
