Zhu Sa's eyes fell on his brother who was asleep on the bed, but his hands were clenched tightly, and the anger in his eyes flashed, Su Ziyu could see the clues, how could he not find it at all?

A hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he actually dispatched his mother to escort him, this brother was far more difficult than he imagined, and suddenly thought that Su Ziyu had said something to him not long ago, saying that he would regret it one day, and he didn't have to wait for the future, his mood was extremely complicated at this moment.

The queen mother pretended to cry for a while, only the comfort voice of her daughter-in-law, and did not hear the voice of her eldest son, she pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, raised her head and looked at the emperor who was silent, "Your Majesty, mourning ......the family" said nothing, and she had tears in her eyes.

In the end, it is the mother and son, Zhu Yi was not very concerned about Su Ziyu in the early years, but he has always been extremely filial to this mother, seeing that she watched herself crying sadly, she couldn't turn a blind eye, so she stepped forward to comfort her mother and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen is thinking about which imperial doctor has excellent medical skills, so that he can come to see Brother Sa, in this way, Brother Sa's illness has improved, and the queen mother can relax and take care of her for a long time." ”

"If this can be done, the mourning family can rest assured." The Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes.

"Although the Queen Mother relaxes, the Nine Princes will definitely be auspicious, otherwise they will come." Su Ziyu also interjected at the right time to say some comforting words.

It's just that where the Queen Mother couldn't see, her cold gaze met Zhu Yi's gaze, Zhu Yi shook her head slightly, and for a long time, she pursed her lips and nodded secretly in response.

The Queen Mother didn't see their brief intersecting eyes, and looked at the "little son" on the hospital bed and said: "Your Majesty, Ziyu, the Mourning family is really worried that the Nine Emperors have no one to take care of in the mansion alone, during this time, the Mourning family will take care of him here until he recovers......"

To put it simply, the Queen Mother wants to sit in the mansion of the Nine Princes and never leave a single step, that is, she vows to keep the Nine Princes.

Su Ziyu was annoyed for a while, the Queen Mother was really unclear about doing this at this time, she blindly focused on her youngest son, but in fact, she let him step deeper and deeper in this quagmire, if it really can't be cleaned up, then the Queen Mother's sin will be deep.

"Queen Mother, you are old, it is better to go back to the palace to recuperate, let the concubines send trustworthy people to take care of it, and they will definitely not let the Ninth Prince have a missed ......"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she suddenly glared at Su Ziyu viciously and sneered, "How many people can you send to replace the mourning family?" Ziyu, the mourning family didn't expect you to be such a cool and thin person, the Nine Emperors have always respected you as a sister-in-law, and now the mourning family just wants to take care of him personally, it's good for you, if you don't help the mourning family, forget it, and drag the mourning family, you are really good? After a pause, her face was blank, "You don't need to be pretending to be kind, the mourning family will take care of the mourning family's parents and children." ”

It's really kind, Su Ziyu's face is not good-looking, even if she can understand the queen mother's dilemma, it doesn't mean that she recognizes her choice, this is a move to fuel the fire, "Niangniang......"

Zhu Yi pulled Su Ziyu behind him, and didn't let her open her mouth to admonish her mother again, knowing that the son is Mo Ruo's mother, on the contrary, sometimes it can be established, at this moment, the mother is definitely covering up some of the truth by making things difficult for her wife, "The queen mother is angry, Ziyu She is also thinking about the queen mother's body, she is in a hurry, and what she says is not thoughtful, and the queen mother should not be annoyed with her, her heart is also good." ”

The queen mother saw that the emperor was the queen, and said in her heart that the relationship between the couple had improved a lot now, but she seemed to be more and more unhappy to see such a situation.

Zhu Yi scratched the palm of his hand, can Su Ziyu not understand? laughed at herself in her heart, she forgot the saying that everyone has their own ambitions, since the queen mother has to go all the way to the dark, why should she pull her? Thinking about it like this, she suddenly said softly, "The Queen Mother is angry, the concubine is not thoughtful for a while, no matter how many people there are, it is not as safe as the mother by her side, for the health of the Nine Princes, or the Queen Mother's phoenix body can play a role in this, the concubine is really narrow-minded." ”

Hearing these words in the ears of the Queen Mother, she could naturally hear a little ridicule, but it was not rational to really argue with Su Ziyu at this time, so she pretended not to hear the irony, "It's still Ziyu who is reasonable, don't hate the words of the mourning family, the mourning family is worried that the Nine Emperors' heart is broken, and they can't care about other ...... for a while" The hand also patted the back of Su Ziyu's hand affectionately to show comfort.

"If the mother is not annoyed by the concubine, the concubine is already lucky, how can she hate the mother?" Su Ziyu hurriedly curtled his knees.

You can act, I will naturally act, anyway, she won't be so stupid to be the first person to tear her face.

"That's good, that's good......" The Queen Mother looked pleased.

Zhu Yi looked at this false side, disgusted with this hypocritical style of being a royal for the first time, and looked at the sleeping "Nine Princes" again, so far, he can be completely sure that this person is a stand-in, and the real Zhu Sa is very likely to be in Ruyang City.

With the queen mother in charge, the emperor and queen were not able to forcefully debunk the trick of this stand-in, and said some high-sounding words of concern, and Zhu Yi left with Su Ziyu.

The Queen Mother stood in front of the window and watched the backs of the two leaving, and her face instantly became gloomy.

The stand-in on the bed heard the footsteps walking away, so he immediately opened his eyes and got out of bed, knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's life-saving grace......

"It's not you who is saving the mourning family, it's the life of the mourning son." The Queen Mother turned around and looked coldly at this face covered with a layer of skin like her son's face, and there was no half love in her expression, but a faint disgust.

The stand-in also knew that the Queen Mother didn't like him, and from the moment the Queen Mother came to the mansion silently, his eyes were all ill-intentioned, and his scalp was numb.

The Queen Mother turned the Buddha beads in her hand, but she was thinking about when to kill this stand-in, and she must not let him stay in the world again, she wants to save the life of her youngest son, this person must not stay.

After a long time, her expression eased a little, "Get up, it's cold on the ground, you are also pretending to be sick, don't let people see suspicion, in these days when the Nine Emperor Sons have not returned, you had better do this drama for the Mourning Family, otherwise if you don't wait for the Nine Emperors to return, the Mourning Family will do you first." ”

"Yes, the little one knows." When the stand-in heard this threatening word, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill down his spine.

The Queen Mother waved his hand and asked him to lie down on the bed.

Mama Liu lifted the curtain and came in, and glanced at the careful eyes of the stand-in, this person has the appearance of a prince, but he does not have the bearing that a prince should have, so he moved the queen mother at the last moment, otherwise this person will be debunked by the emperor and queen. She has been in the palace for so many years, and she doesn't know that this imperial couple is also shrewd.

"Did the emperor and the queen get into the carriage?"

Hearing the queen mother's question, Mama Liu retracted her lingering thoughts, stepped forward and replied respectfully: "If you go back to Niangniang, it is estimated that the queen's carriage should have left the prince's mansion at this moment." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly and clenched the Buddha beads in her hand, "Next, you have to be cautious, and pay close attention to the situation in the palace." After a pause, "How did the mourning family do when you let you fly a pigeon and send a letter to Jiuhuang'er asking him to return to Beijing immediately?" ”

"The old slave has already ordered to go down, and he won't miss the mother's orders." Mama Liu replied. Not only the Queen Mother, but also her, I also hope that the Nine Princes can return to the capital as much as possible, as long as this scam is not caught, the Nine Princes will not face the worst situation.

The Queen Mother recited the Buddha's name, and finally closed her eyes and was willing to stop speaking, but the Buddha beads in her hand turned extremely fast, she did the sin, for the sake of her son, she was also willing to carry it, may the heavens pity her for her old age, don't torture her poor mother again.

Mama Liu waited carefully on the side, with the Queen Mother's Dinghaishen needle, her heart was also a lot more stable.

The emperor and queen in the carriage were silent all the time, obviously each with their own agendas.

Before returning to the palace, someone knocked lightly outside the car window, indicating that something was going on, and Zhu Yi personally lifted the curtain on the carriage window to the side, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, there's a fire on the other side of the prison...... "The man on the horse outside bent down and whispered.

Su Ziyu also heard about it, and looked at the warm winter sun, what kind of fire did the prison lose in this broad daylight? As if thinking of something, her pupils shrank, and she suddenly looked at Zhu Yi, "Your Majesty?" ”

Zhu Yi had already thought of what Su Ziyu had guessed, raised his hand to signal her not to make a sound, and shouted sharply: "If you have any losses, report them." ”

"If you go back to the emperor, half of the prisoners will be burned to death this time, and several of the main culprits involved in the case of the Nine Princes' ditch bandits attacking Ye Houye are all burned to death......

This is, killing people and destroying the evidence of the crime.

Zhu Yi and Su Ziyu's minds instantly sounded this sentence, especially Zhu Yi's expression was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water, when he met the queen mother in the mansion of the Nine Emperor Brothers, he already had such a premonition, as he expected, but the news was earlier than he expected.

He closed the curtains of the car and said in a deep voice, "It's all burned to death, so let's settle it properly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

There was an answer outside, and there was the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry, obviously to carry out the emperor's will.

Su Ziyu sat up straight and sneered, "The Queen Mother is far more eccentric than you and I imagined. Helping Zhu Sa cover up the evidence of the crime is really high, and the ridicule on the corner of her mouth is even greater.

As the emperor, Zhu Yi has never seen any storms, his facial expression slowly calmed down, and he looked like an outsider who was elusive, "What's the use of saying this now?" As long as he is bent on rebellion, he will always let me catch his little tail, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not thinking about flesh and blood. ”

He clenched his fists, and his bones rattled in a sign of his determination.

Su Ziyu turned his head and saw his appearance, he has been married for many years, how can he not see that he is in a very bad mood? Even if it is a sibling, no one can accept their mother's eccentricity calmly, and the heavenly family is only afraid of being more calculating.

She didn't mind showing her tenderness at this time, and reached out to clench Zhu Yi's fist, "Your Majesty, you still have concubines and princes, don't be angry." ”

Zhu Yi and the Queen Mother's mother-son relationship has cracked for the first time, and since she returned to the palace at about this time last year, the relationship between her and the Queen Mother is no longer what it used to be, and the two have been tense several times.

She doesn't care about Zhu Yi's love anymore, but she also wants this man to escort her son, after all, her son is still so young, so she must strive for Zhu Yi to be on her side completely, focusing on her and her son, so that her son's position as the crown prince is stable and stable.

Zhu Yi has not tasted Su Ziyu's gentle appearance for a long time, and there is still a little disbelief in his eyes, he has suffered too much during this time, and he gladly accepted it under his wife's sudden overture, and was still a little flattered.

If Su Ziyu knew what Zhu Yi was thinking, he would definitely sneer at it, and scolding a man was a shit. When you are good to you, you are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs; Finally, one day, you are enlightened, you are no longer good to you, and you feel that something is wrong with your whole body, isn't this a cheapness?

As soon as she returned to the palace, Zhu Yi first went to deal with state affairs and the case of the fire in the prison, but she hurried back to the dormitory, and now she is eager to see the baby, otherwise this heart will not be at peace, especially after knowing that the prison is on fire.

The dormitory was still quiet, and the sound of her hurried footsteps instantly broke the silence, but as soon as she walked to the residence where the three babies were placed, she heard the laughter inside and the baby's "ahhh

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

Hearing this announcement, Ye Zhong hurriedly hugged his eldest grandson and bowed to the queen.

Su Ziyu came in and said with a smile: "Get up." ”

Ye Zhong's got up with the palace attendants, patted the eldest grandson's swaddling clothes lightly with one hand, and said with a smile: "The concubine remembered this grandson, so she handed the sign into the palace, didn't disturb the queen's mother?" ”

"That's not true, you are the grandmother of the two of them, it is normal for this grandmother to miss her grandson, and this palace is not such an unreasonable person." Su Ziyu stepped forward and quickly slipped past the three milk babies, but she didn't find anything unusual, so she completely let go of her heart.

Ye Zhong smiled and said a few words, and then looked at the much older prince, "The concubine looks at His Royal Highness the prince and is a lot heavier, and she is becoming more and more similar to the emperor." ”

Su Ziyu stretched out her hand and gently pinched her son's tender face, the older this little guy is, the less like her, but like Zhu Yi carved out of a seal, "This kid is not like this palace, and this palace has no other way." ”

The little prince in swaddling clothes writhed uncomfortably to protest against his mother's rough behavior, and the appearance of wanting to cry or not directly amused Su Ziyu, so he laughed and reached out to hold his baby son into his arms and kissed three kisses.

The poor little prince has not yet adapted to his mother's behavior, his little face is a little dazed, and a pair of big black eyes look at his mother, and Su Ziyu's heart is crisp.

Ye Zhongshi looked at the family affection of the emperor for a while, and couldn't help but think of his daughter-in-law who was thousands of miles away, and looked at his two little grandsons with a little apologetic, more than one circle older than when he was just sent to the palace, and it could be seen that the queen was not partial to take care of everyone, but no matter how inferior to her mother.

"Sister Long, has you come back with a letter?" She asked.

When Su Ziyu heard this, she handed the son who was teasing in her arms back to the nurse to hold, and looked at Ye Zhong's with a positive look, "How can this be so fast?" Calculating the time, they were afraid that it would not be long before they entered the city, and the journey was extremely difficult, and it was difficult for her. ”

"Isn't it? When the concubine thought of taking a boat or a land route or something, this thousands of miles away, she was a little afraid. Ye Zhong said worriedly.

At that time, he was going to Ruyang City to force Lin Long to express his position, but now that he thinks about it, it is difficult for a strong man, and he can only sigh and pity the hearts of his parents in the world.

Su Ziyu said: "It's going to be nothing, don't worry so much......

The two talked about Lin Long, and there were quite a lot of topics for a while, until the sun was west, and the days were short and the nights were long in this winter, and Ye Zhong knelt down and left the palace.

Lin Long is not at home, and this family matter falls on her shoulders again, although she is seriously ill, her body is getting better and better day by day, otherwise she would not be able to enter the palace to visit her two little grandsons.

Without Ye Qin's making waves in the mansion, the Xiangyang Hou Mansion rarely calmed down, and the people in all the houses and courtyards did not dare to offend her lightly, as the mother of a house, this was a rare peaceful time in Ye Zhong's life, but in recent years, there are indeed a lot of things to deal with.

As soon as she returned to the house, she went back to the main courtyard to change her clothes, and then she asked Ye Man'an to be called.

When Ye Man'an heard her mother-in-law's call, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly threw down the wedding dress in her hand.

Gently lifting the curtain and going in and saluting, she said respectfully, "What is the mother's order to call her daughter over?" ”

Ye Zhongshi sat on the Luohan bed, and Ye Manzi sat next to him, only to see that the little girl was still writhing back and forth uneasily, but under the staring of her mother, she pouted and sat down.

"I called you here to ask if your wedding dress is ready? The marriage is at the end of this month, you have to hurry up, if not, let the embroidery girl in the house take the handle, don't miss the flowering period. ”

Originally, she wanted to marry this girl out as soon as possible, but the Fu family attached great importance to it, and the wedding date would be postponed to the end of this month, after all, there are too many things to arrange for a marriage, and it is not something that can be completed in a while.

"It's all seventy-seven, eighty-eight, mother rest assured, she will not miss the flowering period." Ye Man'an replied cautiously.

Ye Zhongshi nodded her head at this time, as if thinking of something, she pulled out the drawer on the low table, took out a book wrapped in red cloth and handed it to the maid, asking her to take it to Ye Man'an.

Ye Man'an looked at the book in his hand inexplicably, what is this? It's just that in front of her mother-in-law, she can't open it on the spot.

Ye Zhongshi cleared his throat and said seriously: "This is the fire avoidance diagram for the bottom of the box for my daughter's house, you take it back and look at it, if there is anything you don't understand, let your aunt teach you, don't make a joke without knowing anything, okay, it's not very important, you can step back and wait for marriage." ”

"Yes, Mother."

Ye Man'an is not completely ignorant, although Aunt Ling has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha all these years, she has long been disgusted by Ye Mingsui, but it does not mean that she has done nothing about her daughter's marriage, and she has mentioned this matter of men and women to her early on, which is also afraid that Ye Zhong's inappropriate mother-in-law is not the same thing, otherwise it will not be good for the yellow flower girl to be scared on the wedding night.

At this moment, her face turned red, and she hurriedly stuffed the book into her sleeve, and she really missed Ye Zhong's in her heart, although this mother-in-law was not affectionate to her, but in the end she still treated her better than Ye Manning, and now that Ye Man'an has been grounded and has not been released, but everyone in the house knows that she is going to be sent to be a concubine, and she is not good? To be content is to be blessed.

After Ye Man'an went out, Ye Manzi asked her mother curiously, "Mother, what is this fire avoidance diagram?" Is it good-looking? ”

Looking at her daughter's big round eyes, Ye Zhong's face sank, and he knocked her a corn, "Don't be curious about everything, you'll know what it is later?" Now you have to follow me to learn housekeeping, don't always be unstable, learn from your sister and your sister-in-law, do you know? ”

"I know, mother, don't I just ask, I provoked you to say such things." Ye Manzi pouted dissatisfiedly.

"I'm also for your good, so that you won't go home for three days or two days to cry after you leave the cabinet in the future, and you won't have to go to my mother-in-law's house in front of me in the future to count your badness, the more this daughter's boudoir learns, the more she will like her mother-in-law in the future."

"Mother, then I won't be out of the cabinet, I'll be with my mother for the rest of my life, okay?"

Ye Manzi got up, trotted behind his mother's back and stretched out his hand to hug her, his little face full of pleading.

Ye Zhongshi felt heartwarming and funny, this little daughter was her little pistachio since she was back on the right path, and stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms, "Haven't you heard of the words that the female is not staying, staying and staying to become an enemy?" You, don't think about this insignificant thing, mother, it's all for your good. ”

"Got it." Ye Manzi replied in a long voice, with disappointment on his little face, what's so good about getting married?

This little daughter's soft body is in her arms, but Ye Zhong's can't help but think of her eldest daughter in Ruyang City, I don't know what she is doing now? I only know that my mother is worried.

Ruyang City.

Lin Long was inspecting the Jade Skin Shop with Ye Manjun, and she looked at the geographical location of this shop, "This shop is well chosen, it seems that my sister-in-law has put a lot of thought into it." ”

Ye Manjun smiled, "Before, my mother also put a few shops for me in Ruyang City, which are all counted in the dowry, but when I came to see, I was in a hurry when I bought the shop, and it was not a good location. ”

Lin Long patted her hand, "It's time to fight, even I make fun of it, I'm not that iron-mouthed god, I don't have the ability to rob other people's jobs." ”

Ye Manjun was about to reply, but saw a girl in green in the store who was choosing goods, this woman she saw for the first time, but it didn't mean that she didn't recognize her appearance, according to the portrait sent by Concubine Teng, this woman was one of the concubines that Zhu Ziqi was about to accept, Teng's yarn.

Lin Long saw the sister-in-law beside him with a grim expression, followed her gaze, and when he saw the girl, he also frowned, especially the girl also noticed the gaze of their sister-in-law, turned her head and smiled at them, put down the skin cream in her hand, and walked towards them.
