Chapter 371
The emperor is not a good person, and he never cares about the rights and wrongs of things, only his own likes and dislikes.
Fu Ruiyuan is not the opponent of the crown prince, at least in front of the emperor in this life, he is not reasonable.
Yue Niangxiao took advantage of the risks, but Fu Ruiyuan rarely did not refute.
His face was full of joy, full of the joy that my family had a girl who had just grown up, "Yueniang, who taught you these words?"
Fu Mingxuan knows a little bit, that kid is a solid-eyed person, it is impossible to come up with these words, and the third prince Fu Ruiyuan also denied it, although he is good friends with Yueniang, but the bottom limit of that kid is very clear.
Royal affairs, he must be able not to meddle in the matter, so ...... It's Xie Bai.
I don't like it or hate it, Yueniang almost died because of that child, but that child also saved her several times.
Yueniang didn't know her father's thoughts, she just thought that Fu Ruiyuan still didn't agree with her dealings with Xie Bai, so she was worried that he would go to Xie Bai for trouble, so she could only perfunctory, "Daddy, is Yueniang so unreasonable in your heart." These truths need to be taught by others!"
She was injured and her movements were very inconvenient, but she still stepped forward with great effort and poured a cup of tea for Fu Ruiyuan.
Fu Ruiyuan looked at the sincere and bright eyes unique to Yueniang's face, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Silly child, how could Daddy think that." You're a very sensible child, Daddy just didn't expect that you could think of this. My girl has grown up!"
He sighed, and at the same time took a sip of the tea poured by Yueniang with great satisfaction, and then squinted his eyes slightly, and asked, "Daddy has something to do these days, and he hasn't gone over to see you, how is your injury?"
Yueniang's injuries are all outside the skin, but her whole body has been whipped by the whip, and now the wound has just stuttered, and the slightest movement hurts to death, and she hasn't slept for several days.
But Yueniang didn't want her father to worry, so she shook her head, "I'm fine." Don't worry, but Daddy should pay attention to his body. ”
"Well, a person as big as Dad will naturally take care of himself, but you, you have to be well-behaved recently, stay in the house to take care of your body, and don't go out yet. ”
Yueniang: "......"
She originally wanted to persuade her father not to trouble the prince for the time being, but now it's good, people are persuading, but she can't get rid of herself.
Fu Ruiyuan grounded her again, although the words were good, and he said that he wanted her to recuperate in the house obediently, but the essence was the same, she couldn't get out of the Fu family at all.
If she is healthy now, or she still has to climb the wall, I believe that with her current light skills, the people in the family may not be able to find out, but she is injured like this now, let alone light skills, it is very hard to walk at all.
Yueniang was reluctant, but instead of demolishing the prince's platform, Yueniang found that her father was more persistent in this matter.
How did she feel cheated?
Yueniang came out of Fu Ruiyuan's yard, and happened to meet Mrs. Lin about to go out, her eyes lit up suddenly, "Madam, where are you going?"
How could Mrs. Lin not know that little Jiujiu of hers, she looked at Yueniang who was now walking with crutches, although she couldn't see the wound when she changed her clothes, but she could still see faint traces from her exposed neck.
It's all hurt like this, and I don't know how to settle down, and I don't know why this girl's energy is so strong.
Yueniang walked up to Mrs. Lin and pulled her sleeve very flatteringly, "Madam, you are dressed so beautifully, where are you going, why don't you take me?"
The maid next to Mrs. Lin has long been accustomed to Yueniang's appearance, Mrs. has a bold temperament, and has always favored the second miss, so the second miss is naturally very casual in front of her.
It's just that she's hurt like that now, it's only been a few days, and she's restless again.
Mrs. Lin wore a green bamboo skirt, and she was as beautiful as a fairy on the blue waves.
Not to mention the bright and moving, it is also very pleasing to the eye.
Yueniang guessed that since Mrs. was dressed like this, she must be in a very good mood, and since Mrs. was in a good mood, then she asked her to take herself out, and it was probably okay. God knows the last time she was confined to her home, she was so stuffy that she couldn't sneak out of the house for so long, she was really going crazy.
In the past, when Fu Jingshu was there, she still had someone to play with, although Fu Jingshu really had a very gentle and quiet temperament, but it was better than nothing. Now that my sister is married, that brother doesn't know what's going on, and she practices martial arts like crazy every day, and she feels that she has been abandoned.
Oh no, it's going to be abandoned and forgotten soon.
Yueniang was very pitiful, stretched out her hand to pick up Mrs. Lin's sleeve, and shook it gently, "Madam, you don't know, I haven't been out of the door for the past few days, and I'm going to die of boredom." ”
Mrs. Lin was amused, looking at her pitiful appearance and wondering, if she rejected this little girl, would she be too bad? So she regretfully pulled away Yueniang's two hands, "Yueniang, you should know, now you are everyone's focus on care." Your father gave a death order, and you must never leave the Fu family until you are injured. I...... I'm also lacking in energy. ”
Not only that, Mrs. Lin can pretend better than Yueniang, she looked at Yueniang frowning pitifully, but with one hand, she asked the maid ring below to go out of the carriage and wait for her first.
She took Yueniang's stunned look in her eyes, and found it funny, but continued, "I know you've been bored by yourself lately. We are going to Baoyuezhai for afternoon tea, don't worry, I will pack a copy of their latest pastry styles for you and bring them back, you can be good. ”
"I'm leaving. Mrs. Lin disappeared from Yueniang's sight step by step.
Yueniang: "......"
She always felt that something was wrong, what was wrong, she grabbed her hair, and suddenly became annoyed, yes, she should have asked Mrs. Lin to take her away just now, but it turned out that Mrs. Lin pretended to be pitiful with her.
She gritted her teeth and walked to her small courtyard with a sad face.
There are not many people in the Fu Mansion, and there are not many people to see along the way.
The girl saw Yueniang's very difficult appearance of turning back three times in one step, and couldn't help but come forward, "Miss, do you want to prepare lunch?" ”
"Don't. Yueniang's face darkened, so she had breakfast.
She had been lying in bed for the first two days, from day to night, and today she finally got out of bed to move, and when she heard that Fu Ruiyuan was going to find trouble with the prince, she hurriedly went over to stop her. As a result, the person stopped her, and she also lost it.
If the injury on this body is really good, I am afraid that it will be impossible in ten days and half a month.
She wants to stay in such a small place for so long, Yueniang's eyes go dark when she thinks about it.
The main job of the people in her yard is to serve Yueniang, but this eldest lady is different from ordinary young ladies, basically there is nothing to do, so she is bored, how can the girls not be bored.
So after breakfast is prepared, you can start preparing lunch, and of course, after lunch, you can prepare dinner.
When Yueniang heard it, she felt that this kind of life was like a pig, and it was a pig that would never have a bright future.
She touched her face twice in despair, and the flesh and meat that she had hunger strike in the dark prison a few days ago had now been replenished.
If you don't prepare lunch, then the girls will be bored again, so everyone gathers around Yueniang, wanting her to find something for them to pass the time.
Yueniang's whole body is not neat, what can she do.
She thought for a moment, and pointed to the tree outside the courtyard, "But you will pluck some branches for me, and you will pluck more of them, and clean all the leaves." ”
Whatever he does, those little girls don't care how tall the tree is, there is a ladder anyway. They usually follow Yueniang and can be regarded as having been in the house and unmasking the tiles, and they don't care how cold these trees are, anyway, they are all passing the time.
Yueniang immediately had no one around her.
She sat alone for a moment, and immediately banged on the table in boredom.
Suddenly, Yueniang remembered something.
She reached out and felt the pebble she had been carrying with her in her arms, and she was a little distracted. This is a token of the two of them agreeing to say goodbye when Ake and her were separated.
Ake asked her to go to the hunting grounds, and she had wanted to give it back to him, but he used her trust to help the prince. let her fall into the hands of the prince, and almost affected the family.
Yueniang's eyes couldn't help but be a little wet, she thought, Ah Ke is her best friend, how could a young man who was so good and kind in the past become what he is now.
Her Ake has finally taken a more and more forked path.
Yueniang can't blame Ake's choice, everyone has the right to choose their own life. Although she disagreed, there was nothing she could do to stop him from pursuing what he wanted, but ...... Why take advantage of her.
Once, twice, three times......
Yueniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, the injuries in her life were all due to Ake, and she would never forgive him.
She took a box from the closet, put the stone inside, and closed it. Yueniang thought that her friendship with Ake was like this stone, and there would never be a bright day again.
Today's disaster in the south is quite severe, with millions of people displaced and without food or clothing for the day or night.
At first, they were still waiting for the court to send food to save their lives, but now they are desperate because the food has been robbed. The people have reached the point where they can eat and eat, where do they care about the coming and going of those grains, they only know that the court is incompetent, and they don't care about the life and death of the people.
The people made trouble, the people were displaced, and for a while, rumors spread in the capital.
Zhao Mingqi went to Xie Mansion to find Xie Bai, he was finishing talking to the old man, and his face was solemn.
It was a few days ago that the disaster reached Beijing, but now I don't know what has changed. Zhao Mingqi's face was very unsightly, "Now the entire south is in chaos, but now the whereabouts of the relief grain and grass of the imperial court are unknown, and there is no ability to take out new grain from the treasury for the time being." ”
"Is there any news in the palace? ”
"The father put the crown prince in charge of this matter. But you know the prince, he doesn't care about these victims at all. I'm worried about ......"
Xie Bai's eyebrows are also solemn, everyone knows who the prince is, and this matter is only afraid that it will be bad.
Fu Fu, Fu Ruiyuan, who had just come down from the inside, had a black face, which frightened everyone in the house.
Although he doesn't usually smile much, he is not difficult to get along with, and he has never had a black face like this and everyone owes him money.
Fu Mingxuan just finished practicing swords and went to the study, when he saw his father pushing all the things on the desk to the ground, he couldn't help but be very surprised and asked, "What's the matter, Dad, who messed with you again." ”
Fu Ruiyuan's face darkened, "It's still a matter of grain and grass being robbed, the emperor has made a lot of fire, and he must be strictly investigated." Check check and check, everyone says to check, but everyone is the one who sticks out his head, and this matter is not a joke for me to be a general. ”
The general led the troops to fight, and when he investigated the Menzi case, the emperor didn't know whether it was intentional or he was stupid by the pill.
Fu Mingxuan was also very surprised, it is said that they are not experts in this investigation of the case, they can start the Jingwei Mansion and the Six Gates, how could it fall on the head of the Fu Mansion.
"The emperor clearly wants to deal with the Fu family, but with such a funny reason, I want to see how he slapped himself in the face. Fu Ruiyuan gritted his teeth with great hatred, "Mingxuan, Dad has something for you to do." I'll fix a letter now, and you send it yourself, remember, no one but the recipient knows what my letter is about, including you. ”
Fu Mingxuan saw that his father was so solemn, and he also nodded cautiously, "The child knows, don't worry, father." ”
E-Niang didn't know about the recent events in the capital, she was studying how to pass the time in her yard, and she didn't go to the eldest brother. It is impossible for her to use martial arts with others when she is injured like this now, but Fu Mingxuan's martial arts practice is simply a bit crazy, and she is afraid that she can't help but break up with him.
Yueniang studied the game she herself could only watch from the side, and in the end she was a little uninterested, so she simply buried her head in the branches she let those maids collect, and then turned them into arrows one by one, and it was still the kind of arrow that entered the flesh for three points.
Yueniang said that if the prince doesn't kill her, as long as she gets out of that secret prison, she will definitely not want him to have a good time. Of course, she wouldn't really kill the prince, but it was inevitable to fix him.
Outside Xie's mansion, Xie Bai and Zhao Mingqi were walking together, and they were about to leave the city, when Zhao Mingqi's subordinates rushed over in a hurry, and were very panicked, "The third master is not good, the big thing is not good, Her Royal Highness the princess has an accident." ”
Now there should be only one princess in the entire empire who can make people so anxious, and that is probably the queen's favorite daughter, otherwise there are so many princesses next to her, what if something happens.
Zhao Mingqi looked at his subordinates with cold eyebrows, "Slow down, what's going on." ”
"Earlier today, there was an influx of displaced people in the city for unknown reasons. Princess Ge went out of the palace to visit Miss Fu, who knew that she would meet those homeless people. The princess has been missing for several hours now, and I don't know what the situation is. ”
How could there be homeless people at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Xie Bai and Zhao Mingqi's first reaction was that someone might have pretended to be a homeless person to fight the Heavenly Family's golden branches and jade leaves, but now that the grain and grass were robbed, the entire capital was in chaos, and the emperor was angry and vomited blood, how could someone mess up at this time.
Moreover, the queen's daughter, Princess Madrigal, is the only daughter that the emperor likes.
Zhao Mingqi was about to leave immediately, but Xie Bai followed, "It's confirmed, where are those homeless people." ”
The capital is closed every day, and they are all quitting smoking in the end, how can there be homeless people mixed in.
While thinking, he was calculating in his heart whether this matter was deliberately popular or whether someone was making a fortune.
It would be nice if the food robbery was just an accident, but what if not.
If it is a trap set by someone with a heart, then this matter is too terrible. Xie Bai thought that Muge, as the emperor's daughter, fell into the hands of the exiles, but he was afraid that this matter would be very serious.
Not to mention how there are homeless people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, just say that those people dare to rob the emperor's daughter, then they can't stay.
"In the Guandi Temple in the west of the city, there are hundreds of people. ”
"How many people know about this now. Zhao Mingqi asked, "Who found out first?"
"Now I'm just afraid...... It's all there. The man was a little afraid, "Third master, at that time, those homeless people took the princess away on the street, although there were not many pedestrians at that time, but such a large group of people was very eye-catching. It's been two hours......"
"Father...... Got it?"
"It shouldn't be yet, the emperor has always gotten up early, and it is estimated that no one will dare to disturb him at this time. ”
As long as the emperor doesn't know about it.
Xie Bai was a little anxious, so he simply took the first step to find the horse, "Third master, I'll go over and have a look first." You go to the palace to see the situation, and remember that you must hold off the prince. ”
said that it was a homeless person, but Xie Bai had to see with his own eyes whether those were real homeless people or someone was making trouble in the name of homeless people.
In the temple of Emperor Guan in the west of the city, a beautiful and white girl was tied to a big pillar in front of Emperor Guan, with a very frightened expression. She is the queen's daughter, Princess Muge, according to the plan, she should talk to Yueniang in the Fu family now, and then sneak to Xie Mansion to see Xie Bai, but at the moment this change is not in her plan.
Madrigal was a little confused, she was almost bombarded by a bunch of tattered people, what did they want to do.
She was afraid, but she knew that everything was uncertain at this time, and the more she was afraid, the more likely she was to cause trouble for herself, so she could only force herself to calm down, "Who are you?" ”
They robbed her in the street, and someone must have seen her at the time. She is a princess of the heavenly family, how can no one know her. Madrigal believed that someone would soon come to her rescue, but she was not sure what the purpose of these people was, whether they would hurt her.
Madrigal looked at the most well-dressed man for the Dao, who seemed to be the boss of the group.
"You're a princess. The man was dirty, and he didn't ask what Madrigor wanted to know. Still, she nodded.
"How old are you. ”
"Fifteen. Pastoral felt that although this person led a bunch of homeless people to rob her, his eyes were clear and he did not look like a bad person.
"Who are you, I don't look like a bandit, why did you rob me? I'm a princess, and it's a great sin for you to rob me so far, and you want to kill your head. Madrigal said as carefully as possible, "I think you can let me go, maybe you still have a chance to escape while the forbidden army is not coming." ”
"Hah, we didn't even think about running away when we came. The man's clear eyes looked at the madrigal like torches, "We came with a mortal heart, how could we go." ”
"You ...... Who the hell are you? ”
Pastoral Song was shocked, these people looked really strange, and they didn't look like the kind of bandits who killed people and oversold goods. However, he said that they had come with a mortal heart, and that they would really kill her.
Madrigal was even more frightened at this moment, and her face turned white with fright, "Why do you want to do this?" What are your goals?"
Purpose?
A sneer flashed in the man's eyes, "You are a princess with fine clothes and food, how can you think about what kind of people we are." "Not all the people in the Guandi Temple, there should be some people guarding outside.
He pointed to the people present who could only be called people by their shapes, who were no different from beggars, and his eyes were painful and angry, "You are in the palace every day, and you have never known the sufferings of the world, how can you know what these people have experienced." ”
Pastoral is a little unconvinced, although she is a princess of the heavenly family, but this kind of thing is not something she can choose, and she is not a vicious person.
She blushed slightly, and retorted loudly despite fear, "I'm a princess and I'm fine, but it's not something I can choose." You only see my fine clothes, jade food, and delicacies, how can you know that I am a scoundrel and can't help it. ”
She likes Xie Bai, but she never dares to show it, because as a princess, her marriage and future husband are not something she can choose.
She is a princess, but she can only be in the palace, and if she wants to leave the palace, she has to be coquettish to her father. All her life, others come and go freely, but she can only be a caged bird.
Even those who are favored in front of their father often frame her for a concubine, and her seemingly noble identity is behind the bloody storm.
What's the difference.
The person just snorted coldly, "It seems that he doesn't care too much about the thoughts of a little daughter like her, and points to the group of people who are sitting under Emperor Guan with blank eyes, "You can't imagine, these people, including me, how did we come to this place after a long journey and so long." Can you imagine that? “
The man moved closer to the madrigal, "What you wear, what you eat, what you use, you take for granted, so you never think about these things...... Probably carrying countless lives. DID YOU KNOW...... We're ...... these days How did you get here? ”
Madrigal found up close that the man was supposed to be very young, he was very tall, and although he was dressed in tatters, he still had an excellent temperament. It's just too angry, "We...... Nothing to eat, eat bark, grass roots, eat everything you can. However, the officials in those towns on the way were afraid that we would make trouble, so they did not let us enter the city, and we did not enter the city a thousand miles from the south to the capital, and some people even sent troops to suppress it, saying that we were chaotic people and wanted to rebel. ”
