Chapter 231: Dead Heart
Lin Long also knows the current situation, because of the collusion between the An family and the Mongolian State, his husband is not idle, and now he is still holding a meeting with the King of Ruyang, Huo Yuan and others to study the plan to deal with it.
"Auntie doesn't have to worry so much, this war is estimated to not burn Ruyang City, after all, there are 100,000 troops in Ruyang City, plus Huo Yuan's troops, this should not be underestimated, and Mongolia can't please it." She still patted the back of Ye Manjun's hand and comforted, "When spring begins, as soon as this water and grass grows, Mengguo will not care about fighting with us again, and my uncle will be able to come back at that time." ”
This is still a conservative estimate of her women and children, of course, she hopes that the war can be stopped as much as possible, so that it will be a good thing for both her own family and the people of Li.
Ye Manjun tried to pull out a smile, "I understand what my sister-in-law said, but I can't settle down at all, for fear that he will have a mistake outside, and I will ...... at that time."
Speaking of this, she suddenly couldn't say any more, she was worried about her fate before, but now she is more worried about him, and she can't wait to fly with him to live and die with him.
Lin Long saw Ye Manjun's eyes flushed, and he immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly got up and sat down beside her to take her into his arms, "Grandma, my uncle is blessed with a great life, and it will definitely be fine, you still have to have children and grow old together, and the days to come will be long......"
Ye Manjun has always been strong in front of people, even if there are tears, she has to be strong, after all, she is Zhu Ziqi's wife, she wants to show outsiders her strength, so that everyone has confidence in his husband, so as not to shake people's hearts.
It's just that when she faced the care of her sister-in-law, she couldn't hold back her tears and cried happily in Lin Long's arms.
Lin Long wiped her tears and persuaded her, in fact, her heart was also sour, she couldn't help but think that her husband was ordered to arrest when the Gao family fled, she was also worried that she was half dead, and tears flowed into her stomach, and now seeing Ye Manjun like this, she is very understanding and empathetic.
After a long time, Ye Manjun stopped crying, took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eyes, and saw that Lin Long's royal blue clothes had inconspicuous tear stains, and said embarrassedly: "Look at me again, sister-in-law, don't mind, I'll call the bead curtain to find a set of clothes I haven't worn to change ......."
Her figure is about the same as Lin Long, so she doesn't have to worry that Lin Long can't wear her clothes.
Lin Long was still worried: "It's not urgent, anyway, there is a charcoal basin burning in the house, and it can't be cold, but are you in a better mood?" It's better to cry out. ”
Ye Manjun broke into a smile again, "It's much better, if I didn't have my sister-in-law by my side, I was the only one, I really didn't know who to talk to at that time?" I knew he was going to survive, but ......"
"I can't help but worry, I know that." Lin Long interrupted her and said, "Don't think nonsense alone, if you have something on your mind, tell your sister-in-law that you and your uncle don't have a happy day, and your brother and I won't go back to the capital for a day." ”
"Sister-in-law." Ye Manjun shook Lin Long's hand with emotion, it was good to have her mother's family here.
The two sisters-in-law were talking, but Concubine Teng sent someone to invite the two over, saying that they had something to discuss.
Ye Manjun and Lin Long glanced at each other, the two did not say anything to exchange opinions, but Ye Manjun said to the grapes who came to pass the word: "You go back to report to your mother-in-law first, and say that I will go over." ”
"Yes, princess." Grape responded, and then respectfully withdrew.
Outside the curtain, she breathed a sigh of relief, the princess of this world was too fast, she couldn't offend her, but it was a pity that she finally looked forward to Concubine Teng's family, but she couldn't catch up with the good times, and a princess came at this time. That's it, she is an errand boy, as long as she doesn't fall into the hands of the princess, she will naturally have her good fruit to eat.
When she left, she saw the big girl of the water curtain, she was busy greeting with a smile, once a son of heaven and a courtier, she also had to plan for the future.
The water curtain can be this personal maid naturally has the ability, at a glance you know the intention of this grape, this is the original slave of the palace, and naturally has the heart to make friends.
The two spoke a few words enthusiastically, and then Grape hurriedly left to report to the master.
Lin Long in the house changed into the new clothes that Ye Manjun took out with the bead curtain, and after tidying up, he went to Concubine Teng's courtyard with his sister-in-law.
Concubine Teng looked worried at this time, and when she saw her daughter-in-law coming in, she hurriedly asked her to sit down, and said hello to Lin Long with a smile.
After waiting for fragrant tea and recounting some polite words, she got to the point, "Don't hide it from Mrs. Hou, my niece Sasha is very sick, and now I'm only afraid that I can use Chongxi's method to make her get better soon, so I plan to make her go to the house first, and I will open my face as soon as I come back......."
This concubine Teng's mention made the two sisters-in-law frown, Ye Manjun was unhappy, this half-year period has not yet arrived, and besides, the people of the Zhu Zi period are still fighting outside, and then they will take concubines to enter the door, no matter how you think about it, it is very deserved.
Lin Long held down her hand, this ugly person still has to be done by her, after all, first, she is her mother's family, and secondly, she will not stay in Ruyang City for a long time after all, even if she has an unpleasant quarrel with Concubine Teng, it is not a big deal, anyway, when she returns to Beijing, it is unknown whether she will be able to see each other again in this life.
"This is seriously ill and looking for a doctor, how can there be a reason to marry in a hurry? Besides, the prince promised a period of half a year that day, what? What you say doesn't count now? ”
Concubine Teng had long known that the Ye family would not agree, and there was no need to notify the in-laws of this palace concubine, but the bad thing was that the prince made a promise for half a year, so she knew that Lin Long would come to the palace today, so he would call her as well.
"Mrs. Hou doesn't say it, I also know this truth, but isn't the situation special now? Sasha's child is quite seriously ill, can I, as an aunt, not worry about it? Mrs. Hou should be considerate and considerate of me, an old woman, anyway, sooner or later she will enter the palace as a concubine......"
The more Ye Manjun listened, the more she felt in her heart, as soon as she got married, her husband had an errand, and the person had not come back, this mother-in-law was thinking about taking a concubine, what is this all about? For the first time in my heart, I was a little dissatisfied with Concubine Teng.
Lin Long looked at Concubine Teng with a pretty face, "Does Concubine Teng still want to celebrate An's birthday?" ”
Concubine Teng was surprised by her question, isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't want a birthday child? "What did Mrs. Hou say this?"
Lin Long naturally saw Concubine Teng's unhappiness, so he sneered: "King Ruyang's illness is just better, let's not talk about the approaching New Year, just the army is outside, you are taking a concubine for the prince in the rear, is it like saying it?" also broke her promise and broke her promise and became fat, Miss Teng was seriously ill, this entered the door, to put it mildly, what if she died of illness, isn't this the palace looking for bad luck? Moreover, now that the prince is suppressing the magnates of Ruyang City, at this time, the daughter of the Teng family is welcome to enter the door as a concubine, but I am afraid that the layout of the prince is unfavorable, right? ”
Concubine Teng suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Long, she didn't think too deeply about this, she just blindly worried about yarn, after all, compared to Teng Yuanyuan, Teng yarn won her heart more.
"But ......"
Lin Long saw that Concubine Teng still didn't dispel this thought, and immediately said angrily: "Now that the An family has joined forces with the Mongolian Kingdom, Ruyang City is in danger, are you still in the mood to think about this concubine?" Even my aunt and grandmother who married into the palace and stayed alone in the empty house for such a long time, no matter what, it was my aunt and grandmother who made a sacrifice, and so far they have not been able to get a round house. You ask yourself, are you up to the point of your conscience? Concubine Teng, you are also a woman, what was the mood of the prince of Ruyang when he married a wife and took a concubine, you won't remember it so soon, right? As the old saying goes, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ”
Concubine Teng Fang begged Lin Long for this accusation, her face was suddenly blue and white, her heart was in pain, she looked at Ye Manjun, who had been silent, and felt ashamed again, after all, as Lin Long said, as soon as she entered the door, she asked her daughter-in-law to guard the empty room, which was a shame for her husband's family, "I ...... Daughter-in-law, don't take it personally, I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable, but this is the tradition of Ruyang City......"
Lin Long didn't give her the tradition to talk about things again, and said coldly: "Concubine Teng is not afraid that she will make the prince of Ruyang annoyed?" Now that the An family has betrayed Ruyang City, the Rong family is also unclear of its own washing, and the other families are ready to move even if they are not involved, the prince is vigorously rectifying, you are good, but you are dragging him back in the rear? Don't talk about any traditions, under today's shape, this tradition is not worth exposing for a long time, without the support of this bullshit Ruyang City magnates, my uncle can sit on this throne, or do you want my uncle to be controlled by others for the rest of his life? ”
"Of course not......" Concubine Teng hurriedly argued, but only after saying these few words, she realized that she had fallen into Lin Long's language trap, and immediately stopped talking.
Lin Long's expression softened when he heard this, "It's not good, Concubine Teng is still a sensible person, according to me, since Miss Teng is not good, let's quickly find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat her......"
At this time, Grape came in to report that Mrs. Teng had come to visit.
As soon as Concubine Teng heard that her sister-in-law was coming, she hurriedly asked her to come in, and it must be that Shasha's condition has changed.
Mrs. Teng lifted the curtain and came in, Lin Long glanced at her, this Mrs. Teng is not beautiful, her long face is very prominent, her eyes are thin and long, and there are spots on her face.
Mrs. Teng glanced at Lin Long and Ye Manjun, but she didn't expect these two to be there, she saluted the three of them thoughtfully, and then said: "The concubine is here for the matter of yarn, and the doctor just came to diagnose and treat it, saying that yarn is very sick and needs to be sent to another hospital to recuperate, and this child is not blessed." The concubine has discussed with her husband, and she doesn't know if she can get better or not, if it really doesn't work, it can't be sent to the palace as a concubine, so let's do this marriage, my aunt and grandmother can take a look? ”
Under this current situation, each family is not allowed to send a woman into the palace as a concubine, just her family sent it, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, she and her husband dare not be too high-profile, it just so happens that Teng Shasha is seriously ill, and she has a self-aware name to propose to withdraw from the marriage on the hospital bed, saying that she is seriously ill and cannot enter the palace, this is one of them, and the second is that she died of illness with the title of Zhu Ziqi's future concubine, and the reputation of the palace is hindered, so it is better to cancel the marriage contract as soon as possible, so that the death of illness has nothing to do with the Ruyang Palace.
She discussed with her husband again and again, although Teng Shasha's reasons were too far-fetched, but now that there is a rumor in the city, there is no need for the Teng family to become the target of public criticism. Moreover, she is not Teng Shasha's biological mother, and her own daughter is gone, so she can't see Teng Shasha doing well, so she is very much in favor of canceling the marriage.
Lin Long and Ye Manjun were both a little ridiculous, and the last only concubine was gone? Before, they did everything they could to take precautions, but now they have been disturbed by the Anjia rebellion, which is really effortless, and the world is really impermanent.
Concubine Teng frowned, "This? ”
Her eyes looked at the two sisters-in-law, and she began to regret asking them to come over, which was not easy to say a few words to her sister-in-law in private.
"In my opinion, this matter is still according to Mrs. Teng's wishes." Lin Long said with a smile.
Concubine Teng is unwilling in her heart, she has a daughter-in-law of her niece, and she will have an extra layer of protection in the future, but now looking at the meaning of her mother's family, it is not good for her to insist, so she said: "Since my sister-in-law has this intention, then how can I stop it?" You tell Sha Sha to have a good life and recuperate, don't think too much, and when she gets better, I, as an aunt, will choose a good marriage for her. ”
Mrs. Teng didn't think so, but she still responded with a smile on her face, and said that it was a blessing from Teng Shasha.
Lin Long glanced at Concubine Teng's eyes that were still not dead, it seemed that his sister-in-law still couldn't take it lightly.
After Lin Long's sister-in-law left, Concubine Teng hurriedly pulled her sister-in-law and asked, "Do you really think so?" ”
Mrs. Teng sighed, "Otherwise, what can you do?" Everything is fate. Then he expressed the hidden worries in his heart.
When Concubine Teng heard this, she immediately loosened the sleeves of her sister-in-law, it seemed that she also had to die of this thought.
The two sisters-in-law on the other side were also discussing behind their backs, and Ye Manjun patted the back of his sister-in-law's hand, "Sister-in-law, I know in my heart, now it seems that this Teng Shasha will not enter the door, if Concubine Teng still insists on stepping on my bottom line, I will not tolerate her anymore." ”
"Grandma can know it, but they can't make anything ugly." Lin Long nodded.
Ye Manjun smiled gratefully.
This New Year is approaching, but Zhu Zijiao has no intention of celebrating the New Year, during this time he has been detained by his mother, looking at the snowflakes flying outside, and his handsome face is full of exhaustion.
"Son, can you just eat a little? Mother, this is also for your own good......" Concubine An cried and persuaded.
She thought about it a lot, but she didn't expect her son to use the trick of hunger strike.
Zhu Zijiao looked at her coldly, "Do you still have my son in your heart?" Recruit Mongolian people, even if I become the king of Ruyang, isn't it someone else's puppet? Instead of living like this, I might as well die now, so that I can be worthy of the ancestors of our Zhu family. ”
Anyway, what his mother did had already made him die, and he no longer tried to persuade her to turn back.
