Chapter 287: The Man Behind the Scenes
Cham Palace
"Mother, why are you here so early?" Shen Ru looked at Mrs. Shen and couldn't help but say.
At this hour, shouldn't she be in the Prince's Mansion?
"I can't worry about you. So, I sued the crown princess and came over. β
Shen Ru frowned slightly when she heard this, "Mother, this is not good!" "This is properly disrespectful to the crown prince and the crown princess.
Mrs. Shen avoided the important and said lightly, "The crown princess can understand very well, and she also comforted me a few words." So, you don't have to worry. β
The crown princess may not like it in her heart, how could Mrs. Shen not think of this. However, if she doesn't leave early. Then, when the banquet is over, Shen Zhi is afraid that he will directly bring her back to the Shen family, and he will not allow her to come to the Zhan Palace.
When Shen Zhi speaks, he always says what he says. Didn't scare you, teased you. If he had told her that, he would have forbidden her. Knowing this, Mrs. Shen had to slip away in advance!
Shen Ru's injury is not yet healed, and Princess Zhan is quite scheming. In this way, if she doesn't guard her, Mrs. Shen is not sure in her heart.
Shen Ru heard this, her mouth moved, and finally fell silent again.
People have already come, and it's no longer interesting to say anything. Especially, she is also very chaotic at this time, and she doesn't have much energy to pay attention to others.
"Ru'er, how are you feeling today? Are you better? β
"Hmmm! Much better. β
Is it much better? Mrs. Shen listened, but she didn't believe it at all. Because, Shen Ru's face looked much haggard than yesterday.
Emaciated? There is almost no sleep all night, and no one will look good.
"Ru'er, my mother bought your favorite Ruyi cake." Mrs. Shen took the box in the girl's hand and opened it, and the sweet smell instantly spread, which was very tempting.
Shen Ru watched it, but he didn't have much appetite.
"You have been taking medicine these days, there must be no taste in your mouth, eat a piece of pastry and eat it gently!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of Ruyi cake and handed it to Shen Ru.
"I'm not hungry right now, let's eat later!" Shen Ru took the pastry, put it in the tea dish at hand, and without waiting for Mrs. Shen to speak, she changed the topic and asked, "Mother, everything is okay at home!" β
"Hmmm! It's all right......" he said, naturally remembering something, "but I saw it on the street when I came today." β
When Shen Ru heard this, she said casually, "What's the matter?" β
"It was the carriage that Miss Deng was sitting in that somehow got out of control on the street, causing a lot of commotion and injuring several people. She herself was not lightly injured! β
Hearing this, Shen Ru was surprised, "Miss Deng? Deng Min? β
"It's not her!"
"Is the injury very severe?"
"I vomited blood, and I passed out directly."
Shen Ru said tightly, "People...... Dead? β
Mrs. Shen shook her head, "I didn't dare to look too closely. Because ......," the voice was low, "the princess happened to be there." β
Shen Ru heard this, her eyes moved slightly, "The princess is also there?" β
"Hmmm! I should have gone to the Prince's Mansion when I happened to run into it. Mrs. Shen added, "Fortunately, I met a kind person like the princess, so Deng Min was immediately healed." Otherwise, maybe Deng will pass by then! β
Immediate healing?
With these words in his ears, Shen Ru said with concern, "Did the Rin guards heal Miss Deng?" β
"Yes!"
"That's great. Rin's medical skills are superb, and Miss Deng will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. Shen Ru rejoiced.
Mrs. Shen nodded, not very distracted, "What you said is good. β
saved another person, Princess Zhan's kindness will bring her countless praises!
Scold......
Mrs. Shen sneered silently in her heart, but she didn't dare to show anything on her face.
Shen Ru lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and the expression on her face was unknown. Prince's Mansion
When the ladies of the Anguan family came to ask for a wave of withdrawal, the house was quiet, and Mama Qi walked to the side of the bed and handed a box to Zhuang Shihua, "Niangniang, this is a gift sent by Princess Zhan." β
Zhuang Shihua heard this, stretched out his hand to take it, "What about the imperial aunt?" β
"I'm afraid Princess Zhan won't be able to come over." Mama Qi reported, "Miss Deng's carriage suddenly lost its control on the street today and almost hit Princess Zhan's carriage. The princess was a little frightened. Later, I saw that Miss Deng was seriously injured, and personally sent someone to Deng's house. So, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. β
Zhuang Shihua listened, opened the box, looked at the precious jade pendant inside, and smiled faintly, "It's okay if the imperial aunt is fine." β
"That's what the mother said!"
"Do Lord Deng and Mrs. Deng know?"
"The old slave has sent someone to inform them."
Zhuang Shihua nodded.
Parvis......
Deng Kun (Deng Min's father) heard that Deng Min had an accident and immediately complained to the prince and asked for retirement.
When the third prince heard this, Rong Tian was frightened and couldn't come. Leave without saying a word.
Deng family
"There were several scrapes on his body, two fractures in his ribs and lower legs, and serious head injuries. Now the pulse is floating, whether it can be saved, it's hard to say! β
Rong listened, but did not speak. Just quietly looking at the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall.
Buddha word, lotus!
The writing is very charming, and the painting is ......
"Is this calligraphy and painting painted by your young lady?"
"Back to the princess, yes!" The girl said respectfully.
"Miss Deng's writing is really good." After Rong Tian finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked out.
And Rin Wu looked at the calligraphy and painting, but his eyes sank instantly.
"The courtiers knock to the princess!"
"The lower official thanked the princess for saving the little girl."
The Deng family couple, who hurried back from the prince's mansion, saw Rong Tian kneeling in unison. One is a salute, and the other is a direct thanksgiving.
If something happened to her daughter, she couldn't remember the twists and turns as a mother. But the officials instinctively know what to say first.
"Lord Deng, Mrs. Deng doesn't need to be polite, please get up!"
"Princess Xie."
"I've sent someone to the palace to ask the imperial doctor to come over."
"Thank you, princess!"
Rong Tian nodded and didn't say anything more, raised his feet and walked out.
Seeing this, Mrs. Deng didn't care about sending each other off, and walked quickly to the house.
Deng Kun looked at Rong Tian's back and felt uneasy.
As soon as Rong Tian walked out of the Deng family, a person walked over quickly, "Princess! β
Rong tilted his eyes, "Cousin! β
Cousin!
Hearing this long-lost title, he calmly poured out his mouth, and Gu Tingyu's heart couldn't help twitching. With your head down, cover up the fluctuations that may appear on your face.
Seeing Gu Tingyu coming in a hurry, he lowered his head and said nothing. Rong Tian asked, "Is there something wrong with my cousin?" β
Gu Tingyu nodded, raised his head again, and the expression on his face was calm, "I went to Guangyuan Temple again yesterday, and the host of the Light Source Temple said......"
"Let's go back to the palace!" Rong Tian interrupted Gu Tingyu's words and walked onto the carriage with his feet raised.
Gu Tingyu looked at this, his face overflowed with a little anxiety, "Princess......"
"Gu Gongzi, since the princess has already said that you will go back to the palace, you can do it!" Rin Godo.
"But......" Gu Tingyu said, looking at the Deng family.
As soon as this action came out, Rin Wu didn't say much, reached out and grabbed Gu Tingyu's arm and took him away.
Cham Palace
"Have you sent someone to keep an eye on you?" Rong Tian looked at Rin Wu and asked.
Rin Five nodded!
Rong Tian looked at this and turned his head to look at Gu Tingyu, "What did the host of Guangyuan Temple say to you?" β
"The purse on Zhou Fei's body should be Deng Min, the young lady of the Deng family."
"How does the host know?"
"He once asked Zhou Fei, and Zhou Fei told him."
"How could Zhou Fei have Deng Min's purse, does he know?"
"Zhou Fei stole it. For this reason, he was punished by the host to go to Siguo Cliff for more than two months. β
Zhou Fei has great respect for the host. He never hid it from him and never lied to him. The host asked, and he said. Even though he knew that he would be punished for stealing, he still told the truth.
Steal!
It's easier to explain in this way, and it's strange to say that it's sent.
The things of my daughter's family are not just given away.
The princess had no grievances with Zhou Fei, but he put a pamphlet on the princess, intending to smear the princess's reputation. This act will never be a whim, it must be instructed by someone. Judging from Zhou Fei's nervousness and concern for the purse. The relationship between him and Shen Ru is worth exploring. β
Actually, Gu Tingyu wanted to say more. took advantage of his bad appearance and reputation, and Bi couldn't get rid of Deng Min.
"Cousin has been working hard these days. That's the end of this matter at my cousin's, you don't have to look any further. β
Gu Tingyu frowned when he heard this, "But where is Deng Min ......?" I just heard on the street that Deng Min's carriage almost crashed into the carriage of the palace. This may not be simple. β
Rong Tian nodded, "Rin Wu will check." Cousin, don't go any deeper. β
Seeing that Rong Tian was resolute, he didn't let him continue and repeated. Gu Tingyu no longer insisted, "I know!" Well, I'll take my leave. β
"Hmm!"
***
"Lord Wang!"
Gu Tingyu walked to the door and saw Prince Zhan who was striding back from outside, he instantly stood still and saluted respectfully, "Xiaomin has seen the prince." β
I thought that King Zhan would directly ignore him and walk over. However, he didn't expect King Zhan to stop.
Gu Tingyu looked at King Zhan's dark belly: Is it to warn him that he is not allowed to come to King Zhan's Mansion in the future?
"Gu Tingyu!"
"Yes!"
"Are you confident about this year's autumn exam?"
When King Zhan's words came out, Gu Tingyu was stunned, and he didn't understand what King Zhan meant for a while.
"It's really stupid when you're stupid. But ......" King Zhan paused slightly, looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "You once ran to this king to die for the sake of Rong Tian, but you can't erase it." So, go back and read well, and hope that you can get a good score in the imperial examination in the fall. β
After King Zhan finished speaking, he strode away. Gu Tingyu stood alone in a daze.
When he reacted and understood what King Zhan meant, his heart fluctuated, and his chest tightened and ached. Bitter smile, sourness, and ......
Slowly kneel down and give a big thanksgiving.
Those who treat Rong Tian sincerely, even if they have been disliked, will still be treated leniently in the end.
And those who have used her and hurt her, even if they are still alive, will be punished in the end.
Time will tell!
Time can change a lot!
Gu Tingyu admits his stupidity. And King Zhan did not deny his sincerity to Rong Tian.
Love the house and Wu, King Zhan is doing it unconsciously.
***
"Where's the princess?"
"Back to the master, the princess has gone to take a medicinal bath."
"Were you scared?"
Rin Wu shook his head, "The princess is calmer than her subordinates. β
"Maybe not composure. Just forget to be afraid! β
Rin Wu listened and said, "Master, the princess is much better than at the beginning. β
At first, she told her master to sleep in another yard!
It's a lot better. However, compared with normal people, Rong Tian's emotional reaction is still much worse. However, she has always been good at eating.
Thinking of what to eat, and thinking of the consequences caused by her bowl of cold noodles, King Zhan had the urge to beat his chest.
More appropriately, the prince of Zhanda has drawn circles in the corner of the wall countless times.
"What's going on with the Deng family?" Ask and divert your attention.
"The true owner of that bead has been determined. At the same time, it was also determined that when we investigated, someone told a lie, and the result was incorrect. It's also the people below who are careless. β
Know how to boil down, and at the same time know how to wake up.
"Lord Wang!"
Qi Xuan's voice came from the door.
King Zhan raised his eyes, "Come in!" β
Qi Xuan walked in and looked at King Zhan's steady report, "Lord Wang, the third prince is here." β
"What are you going to do?"
"Yes, I heard that the princess was frightened and came to visit."
Rin Wu listened and lowered his eyes. When the three princes appeared, there would be nothing else except for adding blockage.
"He has a heart. Case...... Rin Five! β
"The subordinates are here!"
"You go to the palace and say to the emperor: The queen mother's health has been getting worse and worse recently, which makes the third prince quite worried. Please ask the emperor to allow the three princes to go to serve the queen mother. β
"Yes, master!" Rin Wu took the order and hurried away.
When the third prince leaves Beijing, his ears are clear.
Rin Wu walked out, Qi Xuan looked at King Zhan and said, "Lord Wang, your move may be in line with the wishes of the three princes." β
The crown prince is sharp, and the emperor is jealous. At this time, it is most necessary to help someone to oppose the prince!
And among all the princes, the third prince is undoubtedly the most suitable one. But now, the master asked the third prince to leave Beijing to serve the queen mother. It is equivalent to saving the three princes from becoming the sword in the hands of the emperor.
Swing the Prince's sword!
Look at their brothers fratricidal in order to exclude dissenters. The emperor sat and watched coldly!
Will it fulfill him?
King Zhan smiled faintly and didn't say much, but his eyes were dark.
The subtle changes in King Zhan's eyes fell into Qi Xuan's eyes.
Qi Xuan lowered his eyes, it seemed that his worries just now were a little redundant.
As for Cheng DΓΉ, who is making trouble with the three princes now, how can he be fulfilled by his master?
"How are you feeling today?" Wan Yan Qianran looked at Rong Qian and asked.
"It's a little better than the other day."
"That's good!" Wan Yan Qianran flipped through the Chinese medicine book in her hand and asked casually, "How is it to sleep at night?" β
"Well, that's good!" Every time I soaked in the medicated bath, I felt very tired.
After hearing this, the corners of her mouth raised a seemingly non-existent arc, and she said lightly, "Look at your sleep peacefully." If you want to come to Zhan Wangye, you should feel a lot more at ease. β
The mind is let go, and the body is afraid that it is diametrically opposed. Looking at the daughter-in-law sleeping like a pig, that long night is long!
Rong listened, and felt that there seemed to be something else in Yan Qianran's words. Was it her delusion?
"It looks like it's going to rain." Wan Yan Qianran put down the book in her hand and looked at the window.
Rong tilted his head, the branches swayed, the wind rose, and after a while, the sky suddenly darkened. It looks like it's going to rain.
Deng family
In the middle of the night, the rain was heavy, and the rain was beating on the windows, making a non-stop sound, and the hearts of those who listened were also chaotic.
"Grandma, go and rest! Miss, the slaves and thrushes here will be well guarded. The maidservant looked at Mrs. Deng and said softly.
Mrs. Deng pressed her eyebrows, but she really couldn't bear it, and she was frightened and worried that her feelings had been tense, and she was dizzy at this time.
"I'll go and lie down on the couch in the side room for a while. You and the thrush keep watch well, and Miss will call me immediately if there is any movement. β
"Yes!"
Mrs. Deng was supported by her grandmother and walked out unsteadily.
Huazhu stood on the edge of the bed, looked at the thrush on the side, and said softly, "I left you a bun in the kitchen." You go and eat and come back! β
Since Deng Min's accident, the two of them, as personal maids, have been revolving around Deng Min, and accepted Deng Kun, Mrs. Deng and Miss Deng Family's young master about the situation at that time. So that they didn't even eat.
At this time, the thrush's eyes were already black from hunger. At this time, I heard Huazhu talking about steamed buns, and I kept swallowing my saliva, and I felt even hungrier, but I didn't forget to ask, "When did you go to the kitchen?" β
"At dinner, I was so hungry. Just when I went to the toilet, I sneaked into the kitchen and asked Mama Liu for two buns. Ate one, and left one for you in the stove. Hurry up and eat! In this way, there is the spirit to take care of the young lady. β
Thrush listened and nodded again and again, "Thank you, Sister Huazhu, I'll go." β
"Go ahead!"
"If Madame anyone else comes over and asks about me......"
"I'll just say you went to the toilet!"
Thrush listened, relieved, and quickly ran to the kitchen.
Lazar's matter is difficult for the master to manage, and the slave can't control it by himself. So, even if it's a minion, you have to make people pee.
Seeing the thrush disappear, Huazhu sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Deng Min who was lying on the bed, pale with his eyes closed, and still in a coma. The respectful expression on Huazhu's face was still the same, but the nervousness and worry in his eyes gradually changed to something else!
Deferential, soft expression, weird and indistinguishable eyes, in this night of lightning and thunder, wind and rain, let it add a little more mystery, yin.
"Deng Min, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being stupid!" The words came out almost inaudibly, his hand slowly stretched out, and a silver needle as thin as a hair was sandwiched between his fingers, without hesitation, without a little hesitation, stabbing towards Deng Min's head!
As soon as the silver needle touched his head, the door suddenly pushed open.
Huazhu reflexively turned his head, and when he saw the person, his face changed instantly.
Deng Kun looked at the silver needle in Huazhu's hand, his face was dark and his face was tense.
"Lord Deng, please!"
Deng Kun glanced at the person beside him, didn't say anything, turned around and walked out with him.
One person walked up to the painting beads, stretched out his hand to point at her acupoint, and carried her away.
was caught and taken away. Huazhu thought that all kinds of interrogations and torture awaited her. However, unexpectedly threw her a word, nothing.
Cham Palace
After the rain, the sky is blue, bright and clear, and you can clearly smell the smell of soil and grass when you breathe.
The air is so fresh that people don't feel refreshed.
Rong Tilt half lay on the soft couch, looking up at the sky, leisurely.
"Princess, Miss Shen is here."
Rong listened, raised his eyes, looked at Shen Ru who was standing not far away, got up and sat down, and spoke, "Please let her in." β
"Yes!"
"The courtiers knock to the princess."
"Get up!"
"Princess Xie!"
"Sit down!"
"Yes!"
Shen Ru sat down, Rong Tian looked at her and asked, "How is Miss Shen's health?" β
"The courtiers are already well. It's really tiring the princess these days. β
"Miss Shen is too polite."
Shen Ru smiled, her expression soft, "The princess's grace will be remembered by the courtiers in this life." Now that I'm in good health, I shouldn't bother anymore. Therefore, the courtiers came to ask the princess to leave. β
Rong listened and said, "I think Miss Shen will live in the palace for a few more days!" As the saying goes, it takes 100 days to break your muscles and bones, and Miss Shen's injuries are not light. β
Shen Ru listened to the words and showed gratitude, but she politely refused Rong Tian's suggestion, "I haven't been back to Shen's house for a few days." The courtiers are very concerned about their families. So, please give the princess's permission! As he spoke, he got up and knelt down.
Rong Tian looked at this and stretched out his hand to help Shen Ru up, "Since Miss Shen insists on leaving." Then I can't force it to stay. Green bamboo! β
"The slave is here!"
"You go and tell Steward Qi and ask him to send someone to send Miss Shen back."
"Princess Xie!"
Rong Tian responded, and Shen Ru didn't stay any longer, getting up to leave.
Rong Tian sat on the soft couch, looking at Shen Ru's back, his eyes were cool.
Qi Xuan moved quickly, Shen Ru packed up his things here, and prepared a qiΔ over there.
Sitting in the carriage heading to the Shen family, Shen Ru's eyes rose and fell, unpredictable.
***
"Princess, people sent back." Zhou Zheng reported to Rong.
"But you sent people directly to the Shen family?"
"Yes! The subordinates watched Miss Shen walk in. β
Rong tilted his head and didn't say anything more. Wait quietly.
Shen family
Sneaked to the Zhan Wang's Mansion, and then was taken back to the Shen family by Shen Zhiqiang, and Mrs. Shen, who was grounded, heard the report of her subordinates and said tightly, "You said Ru'er is back?" But really? β
"Yes, the carriage of the Gang Wangfu personally sent the young lady back......"
"Where's the young lady? Is it in her hospital? Mrs. Shen said, got up and walked out.
"Madam, Miss has just gone out again."
"What?" Mrs. Shen stopped abruptly and frowned, "She went out?" Where did it go? β
"I'm going to the temple."
"She's not in good health, where is she going?" Mrs. Shen didn't know and was more worried.
The young lady said that when she was in the Zhan Wangfu, she had thought that the Lord of the Buddha had made a wish, and today was the day to repay the vow. So ......"
"It's just nonsense. Which monastery did she go to? β
"This ...... The slave forgot to ask! β
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she almost raised her hand angrily, "Bastard!" You can forget what you do to eat. β
"Madame forgive the sin, it's really that the young lady is in a hurry, so the slave ......"
"How dare you quibble......"
"The slave knows what is wrong!"
Mrs. Shen was depressed, but she finally couldn't hold back, raised her foot and kicked over, and walked towards Shen Ruyuan with a brisk pace.
Ru'er, this kid really doesn't know how to cherish himself.
***
"Miss, your body has not fully recovered, so you really shouldn't be in such a hurry to repay your vows. Slave and maid look, or ...... another day Uh......" The carriage was comforting Shen Ru's girl, and before she finished speaking, her neck hurt, her eyes went dark, and she fell down suddenly.
Looking at the girl who had fainted, Shen Ru put a pill into her mouth with an expressionless face.
"Junko!"
"The minions are here!"
"Speed up!"
"Miss, your body ......"
"I'm fine. The main thing is that she can't be kept waiting. β
"The slave knows!" Yes, waving the horsewhip, "Drive!" β
The carriage accelerated, the bumps were obvious, Shen Ru covered her abdomen, her eyebrows were condensed, and her face was ugly.
After a long time, the carriage stopped in a deserted place, "Miss has arrived!" β
Shen Ru listened to this, lifted the curtain, and looked around.
"Master, I'm here!"
With the sound, the beads walked out from behind a large tree. looked at Shen Ru with a smile.
T
