Chapter 274 is the Purple Cloud Prince
In the past, although there were many Mrs. Ru in the house, most of Yu Zijing's diet and daily life were spent in his own study, and only a few cases would go to a few Mrs. Ru to spend the night, strictly speaking, it was even the rain and dew, but this time when he came back, he was unusual, little by little almost all his things were moved from the study to the Golden Pavilion, the original study became an ornament, and if there was anything, he rarely found anyone there.
Not only the study, but also several ladies have also become furnishings.
The news of the cold general's exclusive favor of his wife spread in an instant, and it didn't take long for it to spread outside, everyone was amazed at the same time, but also full of curiosity about Jin Xin, a strange woman who had long been famous, on the one hand, lamenting that her woman's body could gallop in the shopping mall, on the other hand, she was also curious about how she could make the iron-clad and cold-hearted Tiance General fall in love.
Jin Xin's fame has been so loud since then, it has reached the point where no one knows about it.
However, as Jin Xin became more and more in the limelight, there were naturally some people who were unhappy.
The third lady, Liu Li, is one of them.
Liu Li had just finished washing up and was sitting in front of the mirror to comb her makeup, and the little maid who combed her hair carefully combed her hair bun.
Xiao Yue walked in from outside with something: "Madam, drink medicine." β
Liu Li glanced at the black medicinal soup, and her nose wrinkled: "It's this kind of ghost thing again!" β
Xiaoyue said: "Madam, the medicine is bitter and good for illness, drink it twice again, and Madame's body will be fine." β
Liu Li said: "What is the difference between good and bad?" No one cares. β
The little maid who combed her hair heard this, knew that she was talking about Yu Zijing, and hurriedly hugged her and said: "The general is really, how long has the lady been sick, and I haven't seen it." β
Liu Li smiled: "The origin of the general is like this. β
"Not now. Slave maid, look, if the sick lady is replaced by the eldest lady at this time, I am afraid that the general will not dare to delay for a moment, and I can't wait to stay close to my side every step and personally feed the soup and medicine. β
Liu Li was speechless.
Xiao Yue glared at the little maid: "What nonsense? Is this saying that the general has no intention of being with his wife? β
The little maid was said like that, and Fang Hou realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly took a step back and knelt down, bowed her head and said: "The slave said the wrong thing without concealment, and forgot that Mrs. spared!" β
Liu Li turned her head slightly, glanced at the little girl, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, her eyes rolled, as if she didn't see the other party, she looked at Xiao Yue, and asked as if no one was around: "Did the general still spend the night in the Golden House Pavilion last night?" β
"Yes."
Liu Li smiled again and said, "I didn't expect that her tepid attitude could make the general fascinated." β
Xiao Yue said: "Madam, although she can distract the general's attention a little bit, it is good for us. However, the way it has developed is not necessarily a good thing. β
"yes, it's not a good thing to be too favored."
Liu Li smiled meaningfully, and in her deep eyes, there was a knife hidden in her smile: "However, we don't need to do it ourselves, she is in the limelight now, and it is not appropriate to work against her." β
"Madame means ......"
"Didn't Jiao Chunyuan just have a good knife?"
A grim smile appeared on Liu Li's face, and her eyes reflected a cold light.
Xiao Yue was stunned and came back to her senses, showing a similar smile, and there was still a bit of admiration in her eyes: "Madame is really smart." β
"Huh. Otherwise, why do you think that becoming the third lady of Yu Zijing would be me and not a woman of another race? β
Liu Li said, as if she suddenly remembered something, paused, glanced to the side, and swept to the little maid who was still kneeling, her head buried low, and she couldn't see what the expression was, but her body was trembling slightly.
Liu Li said lightly: "Are you curious about what I just said?" β
The little maid's whole body stiffened, and she trembled even more.
There has always been an open secret in the beauty house where Liu Li lives, that is, there are often subordinates who disappear quietly, and everyone may notice that there is something missing, but no one has ever had the courage to say it openly, but invariably chose silence is golden.
As for why and how those people disappeared, everyone knows it, that is, they know some secrets of the third lady that they shouldn't know.
Even if it is a little bit, once you know, whether intentionally or not, it is tantamount to having a knife on your neck.
This little maid who combed her hair hasn't been here for a long time, and she knows the rules and secrets in the beauty courtyard, and when she heard Liu Li's words at this time, most of her heart has already understood the smell of blood in her words, and her heart has been cold for most of the time.
I only heard Liu Li say again: "Xiaoyue, deal with it according to the old rules." β
As soon as these words came out, the little maid couldn't hold on any longer, her head suddenly went blank, her eyes rolled, and she fainted.
Seeing this, Liu Li was indifferent on her face, but sneered: "It's really not scared." Xiao Yue, as much as KuΓ i has dealt with, it is an eyesore to look at. β
Xiao Yue was well versed in her master's thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, madam." β
Jiao Chun Yuan.
Since Zheng Wanjiao gave birth, the mental state of the whole person has become a little abnormal, occasionally it looks normal, occasionally it is a little crazy, sometimes good and sometimes bad, capricious, making the people around her elusive, and the service is even more insufficient.
Most of the subordinates in the courtyard are not as dedicated to her as in the past, but because of her identity, the surface work is still quite decent.
If there is anyone in this courtyard who is loyal and dedicated to Zheng Wanjiao, it is only her dowry maid Cuicui.
In the afternoon of this day, Zheng Wanjiao went crazy for a while, and finally fell asleep with exhaustion.
Cuicui looked at her sleeping appearance, sighed worriedly, and muttered: "Miss, you can get better quickly, if you continue in this state, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound similar to a stone throwing at the window.
Because there were no other people in the room, it was surprisingly quiet, so the sound was particularly abrupt.
As soon as Cuicui heard the voice, her body shook, she stood up vigilantly, walked over and pushed open the window, looked around, and saw a dark purple figure at the corner of the corridor not far away, because the other party's body was sideways, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but Cuicui saw the jade pendant hanging on the other party's waist with sharp eyes, and her eyes immediately froze.
She quickly closed the window, walked to the side of the bed and looked at Zheng Wanjiao, who was still asleep, and called a few times, but when she saw no response, she hurriedly went out and carefully closed the door.
Cuicui turned around and looked at the corridor again, but saw the figure flashing, Cuicui's expression tightened, and she hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed quickly.
On the way, she inevitably met other people, and she was inevitably suspicious, she put down her skirt, and tried her best to make her look relaxed and natural, even if her demeanor did not show any abnormality, her steps were not slow at all, her eyes were keenly looking for the figure that appeared from time to time, cautiously avoided the eyes and ears of the house, and quickly followed.
That person deliberately guided Cuicui and led the person to an abandoned deserted courtyard in the General's Mansion.
It was a small, dilapidated courtyard, with only two bungalows, surrounded by a courtyard wall, isolated from the outside.
Cuicui arrived at the old courtyard, turned around and closed the courtyard door.
She looked around at the sparsely populated place, sighed heavily, and drove into a bungalow.
The bungalow is simply furnished, with a table and four stools, and a bed in the innermost part with a futon on top.
Cuicui entered, and as soon as she closed the door, she heard a voice behind her.
"I haven't been here for a while, and the house is dusty. Why, didn't Wan Jiao wait for me all this time? That's why I didn't clean ......."
Cuicui turned around and looked at the other party.
The man who spoke was a man in his early thirties, with a handsome face, dressed in luxurious purple clothes, with a little playful smile on his face, sitting there, looking at the dust on the desktop on the fingers of his right hand, with a graceful and luxurious temperament, revealing a little carelessness.
Cuicui stepped forward in a few steps and saluted respectfully: "I've seen the Purple Cloud Prince." β
The person who came was the eldest brother of the current emperor Bai Qi, the former prince Bai You, because he often wore purple clothes, so he was called the prince of Ziyun.
"Why are you the only one, Wan Jiao?"
Cuicui looked at each other boldly, and asked instead of answering: "Where has the prince been during this time?" β
Bai You looked at Cuicui and said with a smile: "It is worthy of the maid next to Wan Jiao, who dares to look directly at this king." β
Hearing this, Cuicui's face changed slightly, and she knelt down: "The prince forgives the sin!" β
Seeing that she suddenly turned into a sincere and frightened look, Bai You frowned, and said, "This is boring." β
Cuicui ignored his words, and only said: "Lord Wang, where have you been for more than a year, our young lady has been trying every means to see the prince, but we haven't been able to see it." β
"Want to see this king? Hehe, it's the first time I've seen Wan Jiao so active. Why, she only sent you here today, because she was angry with the king, and blamed the king for not coming to her for more than a year, so she made a mistake? β
Cuicui saw that he still had a relaxed tone, so she said, "Lord Wang, we gave birth to a child half a year ago. β
Bai You's relaxed expression finally changed, he was stunned at first, and then he stood up sternly: "Child? Are you saying she was pregnant before? β
"Yes, Lord Wang."
Bai You was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Who is the child?" β
"If it's the general's, why did the young lady try to see the prince in the first place?"
Cuicui replied tactfully.
Bai You sat in his original posture for a while, and then got up suddenly: "Why did you only tell this king about such an important thing now!" β
"The prince is gone, how can we sue the prince?"
Cuicui asked boldly.
ββ¦β¦β
Bai You was silent again.
After a long time, he spoke again: "What about Wan Jiao? Let her come to me right away. β
"I'm afraid it's not convenient at this time."
"Inconvenient?"
"Because I can't find the prince, the young lady thinks that the prince doesn't want her, on the other hand, I am afraid that the general will know the truth, blame her, and be criticized by the world, the young lady has been tortured physically and mentally during pregnancy, since she gave birth to the little young master, she has been greatly stimulated all of a sudden, and her mental state is very bad, sometimes it is normal, but sometimes it is crazy, and even people can't recognize it. It's ......."
Cuicui didn't say any more, and Bai You's face slowly became heavy.
"Lord Wang, our young lady has been waiting for you!"
*Jin Xin was studying rouge in the manufacturing room, and Ziqin walked in from the outside: "Miss, the black spider wants to see you." β
Jin Xin's eyes moved slightly, under normal circumstances, she mostly let the black spider act in the dark, and the black spider also acted according to her words very well, and never broke the rules, and took the initiative to ask to meet like today, which really surprised her.
However, in addition to the accident, Jin Xin also realized that this matter was not trivial.
"Let him in."
It didn't take long to see Ziqin come in with a black spider.
Black Spider is a Jianghu person, and his heart is actually very high, although he has been with Jin Xin for a long time, he is obedient to her, but he is not grovelling Cheng DΓΉ, now Jin Xin is Yu Zijing's wife, many people are respectful and polite to her, but here in Black Spider, her identity is like a floating cloud, which does not affect his attitude towards her.
His black and white eyes without a trace of emotion raised slightly, looked at Jin Xin, and just nodded as always.
Jin Xin smiled slightly, looked at his complexion that was darker than before, and said, "I haven't taken a photo for a long time, at first glance, you seem to be a lot darker?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Black Spider's reticenity is also the same as always.
Jin Xin smiled: "I'm researching rouge that can make my skin a lot fairer. When the time comes, I'll send you a few boxes. β
The black spider's eyes moved slightly, and he was suspicious, as if he couldn't understand what Jin Xin's intention was when he said that.
Then I thought about it, he is a big man, what kind of rouge does he wear?
Black Spider's brow furrowed.
Jin Xin remembered what was going on and asked, "By the way, why do you suddenly want to see me?" β
"The Purple Cloud Lord is in the mansion at this time."
Black Spider Road.
Jin Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "What you just said about the emperor's eldest brother, Prince Ziyun?" β
Black Spider nodded.
Ziqin was also very surprised, and walked to Jin Xin's side: "Madam, this Ziyun prince was once a candidate for the prince, and later changed his posthumous photo before the death of the emperor, and then passed on the throne to the current emperor, and then the prince of Ziyun semi-retired, not only rarely participated in the court politics, but even his whereabouts were uncertain, and the Ziyun palace was like a decoration." According to rumors, the last time he was seen was two years ago. Why did you appear in our General's Mansion at this time? β
"yes, how did you end up here? Could it be that you are here to find Yu Zijing? β
Black Spider said: "He came to see a maid in the Beauty Courtyard. β
"The maid of the Beauty House?"
Ziqin was taken aback and looked at Jin Xin: "Could it be the second lady's personal maid Cuicui?" β
Jin Xin pondered: "He is a dignified prince, why did he go to see a servant girl?" β
After being silent for a while, Jin Xin said again: "What is the relationship between him and Zheng Wanjiao?" β
Ziqin asked the black spider, "How do you know?" β
"There is an abandoned courtyard in the northwest corner of the General's Mansion, and no one usually goes there. I chose it as a place to take a break once in a while. I am resting there today. Suddenly, he noticed that someone was approaching, so he hid in the dark in time. See. β
Jin Xin was afraid that he would recognize the wrong person, so he asked more: "How do you know that the other party is the prince of Ziyun?" β
"He was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, and he also wore a jade around his waist."
"The purple cloud jade given by the emperor?"
"That's right."
Jin Xin was stunned.
Ziqin said: "Although I have long known that the second lady has someone else, but I have not investigated and dealt with who that person is, I really didn't expect that it would be ...... In this way, the child born to the second lady is ......"
Ziqin didn't say the rest of the words, and several people present understood it in their hearts.
The black spider glanced at them and said, "This matter is not trivial, I think it would be better to talk to you in person." Now that I'm done, I'll go down first. β
After finishing speaking, before Jin Xin could speak, the black spider flipped out of the door in a volley, and soon disappeared.
Jin Xin hadn't completely digested the news she had just gotten, she slowly put down the things in her hand and sat down, facing the news, she really didn't know how she should react.
Ziqin also looked thoughtful, she glanced at Jin Xin, and asked, "Madam, do you want to sue General SΓΉ about this?" β
"Sue him?"
Jin Xin muttered and smiled: "Do you mean he knows everything?" β
"You say the general knows?"
Ziqin was shocked.
Jin Xin said to himself: "I'm strange, we all know that Zheng Wanjiao is hiding, and it is impossible for Yu Zijing to be such a shrewd and cautious person not to know." However, a man who loves face like him knows that his woman is having an affair with another man, and whether he loves each other or not, it is impossible to spare her lightly. In fact, he didn't do anything. I didn't understand it before, but now, I do. β
Ziqin quickly understood and asked, "What does Madam mean is that the reason why the general knew that the second lady had done something wrong, but never punished her, was because he knew that the man was the prince of Ziyun?" β
"I really don't know what the reason is."
"In this way, the general has quite scruples about that Purple Cloud Prince."
"Despite today's powerful position, it is inevitable that there are a few people who have scruples."
Jin Xin said unexpectedly.
Ziqin said: "That lady, how do we deal with this?" β
Jin Xin Xiang Ziqin: "Even Yu Zijing feels tricky, what do you think we should do?" β
"Then, is it okay to forget the last time the second lady caused her to give birth prematurely?"
"Either way, it's not the right time for us to come out."
Ziqin nodded thoughtfully: "What Madame said is extremely true. It's clearly a matter of an egg hitting a stone, and you can't do it knowingly. β
Jin Xin slowly showed a smile: "Yu Zijing, this guy is really a calm person. Having said that, he's really not a dumb person, I'm afraid he hasn't found a good way yet. I'm curious to see what he's going to do about it. β
Ziqin looked at Jin Xin's interested expression and said with a smile: "Yes." I'm curious, too. The most important thing is that the general is missing a lady, and the lady should be the happiest. β
Jin Xin's face changed suddenly, puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" β
Ziqin said secretly: "Madame, hasn't the general always been very stubborn, and there are other women?" β
Jin Xin was dumbfounded.
That's all for today.
