Chapter 174: Fraud

Lin Long, who was waiting outside, was anxiously pacing back and forth, and when he saw Lu Su coming out, he nodded, and without a few words of greeting, he hurriedly crossed Lu Su and entered the dormitory.

Seeing Lin Long so anxious for the first time, Lu Su couldn't help but be a little stunned, and hurriedly followed up.

Su Ziyu also looked at Lin Long with an anxious face in a daze, and straightened up, "Don't worry, if you say something slowly, can I still hang you?" You've just come out of confinement......"

The eagerness on Lin Long's face was a little more restrained, and he smiled reluctantly embarrassedly, and then said: "Forgive me, my stepmother, this matter is really urgent, I am afraid that there will be a change, so I don't care about the etiquette......"

In a few words, he told Zhong You's matter of going to the Queen Mother to intercede.

Su Ziyu frowned slightly, the old lady of the Zhong family has a lot of relationship with the Queen Mother, and she is the Holy Nurse, and it has always been a big deal to enter the palace, so she will not pay special attention to her news, and after listening to Lin Long's words at this time, she still persuaded her, "The Queen Mother is not a person who does not miss the old love, she has a relationship with the old lady Zhong, even if this old lady does not listen to it, she should not attack her vigorously." But I'm not afraid of 10,000, and I'm afraid of what if, I understand the anxious mood of you and your mother-in-law. Turning his head to look at Mama Jin, "Mama, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, and I'll go to the Queen Mother's bedroom." ”

Why didn't Lin Long know this truth? People are in a high position, and they will cherish the friendship of the past, but this is a royal family that can kill people, how can you not worry? When you really don't miss the old love, what can you do?

"Mother-in-law, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, I would just have no way to ask for help at this time......" Lin Long said with a slight smile in his eyes.

Su Ziyu shook her hand lightly, "Fool, can you call me a stepmother, can I still cover you?" ”

Lin Long looked at her big belly with a little apologetic, "You are about to give birth now, and you want you to run for me, it is really my unfilial ...... to be a righteous daughter."

She is a person who has come over, and she knows that her body will be much heavier during the period before giving birth, and if it weren't for the sake of being able to give birth smoothly, she wouldn't even want to walk, and often her husband would help her coax and coax, so she would reluctantly walk in the yard.

"I'm not the first child, so I don't have so many taboos." Su Ziyu is not the kind of delicate person, and she has reached this age, and she is no longer the kind of little girl who wants to be coaxed, and she knows what is good and what is bad. "The worst thing about you is that you think too much, how can people do everything, we just need to do what we can and have a clear conscience."

Take Ye Manjun's matter this time, Lin Long, as the eldest sister-in-law, can be said to have done irreproachably.

Lin Long smiled bitterly, "I also want to be willful, but there are many things in the family, so I really have to think about it in many ways, and besides, they are all people who are really good to me." ”

Her code of conduct is nothing more than that people respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, people take a drop from me, and I take people three fights.

Su Ziyu patted her hand with emotion, and didn't say anything more, nothing more than feeling sorry for her.

On the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lin Long took the opportunity to tell the deal with Chen Guogong's Mansion, and this matter still depends on Su Ziyu to carry it out, and she did not hide the truth of the matter.

Su Ziyu lazily leaned on the pillow and said: "What should I do, this is just a trivial matter, you don't really have to wait until the day of choosing a concubine, I will make a will to let them out of the palace when I go back." ”

She can make decisions about such a trivial matter, and it is very easy to find a reason, no one dares to put her beak, her hand caresses her round belly, and now even Zhu Yi wants to give her three points.

Lin Long hurriedly thanked her, and in this way, she could be regarded as having completed the transaction with Duchess Chen, and began to sincerely pray that this Princess Ruyang was a filial daughter, so that Ye Manjun had one more hope of returning to Beijing.

Su Ziyu glanced at her relieved look, couldn't help sighing, and reached out to clasp her slightly cold hand, "Sister Long, I have to tell you first, this Princess Ruyang is afraid that she will not be soft-hearted." ”

"How?" Lin Long's heart tightened again.

Su Ziyu is the head of the inner women, this Princess Ruyang will have a letter to her every year, and Princess Ruyang is equivalent to the spokesperson of the capital in Ruyang City, how can the royal family not have dealings with her? Just because Zhu Zijie is here, Princess Zhu Chen of Ruyang has been quite enthusiastic about the capital in recent years, but there is resentment in this enthusiasm, which is not difficult to see. "In recent years, I've heard some bad rumors about her."

So she didn't hide it, and told Princess Ruyang some of her paranoid practices, and finally she said: "Although these are all trivial things and do not hurt the overall situation, it can be seen that she has entered a dead end and cannot get out." ”

In short, madness.

Lin Long suddenly frowned, wouldn't there be no hope for Princess Ruyang like this? Looking back, Ye Zhongshi knew that it was estimated that it would be worse for her condition, but when she thought of Ye Manjun, she suddenly exclaimed, "If she is such a person, wouldn't my sister-in-law be in danger?" ”

It's okay if I don't want to, I shudder when I think of it, this is terrible, how can Ye Manjun, a weak woman, deal with such a situation? Although Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong take care of it, there will be thousands of ways for the women of the back house to kill a person, and there is no need to pass a man at all.

"Mother-in-law......" she said busily.

Su Ziyu patted her hand knowingly, "You don't have to be too nervous. After a pause, he leaned closer to Lin Long's ear, "The Holy Lord has secretly dispatched troops to Ruyang City, this is to put pressure on the King of Ruyang, he will not lightly allow Princess Ruyang to move your girl, but this is a national policy, if you are not in a hurry, I will not be able to leak it to you, you don't want to spread this matter." ”

She is Zhu Yi's pillow person, and the recent birth is imminent, Zhu Yi accompanies her almost every night, and even the rules that the Queen Mother shouts about are ignored, it is not difficult for her to know such a secret matter.

When Lin Long heard this, his heart calmed down a little, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Stepmother, what if King Ruyang doesn't eat this set and really wants to rebel?" ”

Sometimes it's not surprising that people take risks, even the princess of Ruyang can be such a person, what else can't happen in this Ruyang City?

"If you really come this far, you can only say that it is providence." Su Ziyu said, "Sister Long, I can only tell you that when the day comes, I will persuade the emperor to try to keep your girl." ”

It can only be said that she is trying her best, after all, she is the queen of the Dashun Dynasty.

Lin Long said a little bitterly: "I understand." ”

When that day really comes, it is estimated that the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion will use his own strength to bring back Ye Manjun, what else can't be done if he really tears his face? Thinking about it like this, she suddenly felt that it had really come to that point, and it was not the worst for Ye Manjun, but she couldn't bear to see the war and the chaos of life again.

"If there is no war, there will be no war, and the people are the most innocent." She sighed.

Su Ziyu patted the back of her hand and signaled her not to think too much, these political affairs annoy men, and women's families should just focus on the backyard.

Arriving at the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lin Long couldn't wait to get out of the sedan chair first, and then turned around and carefully helped Su Ziyu down. 、

Su Ziyu was helped into the queen mother's bedroom by Lin Long and Hongling, and the old eunuch guarding the palace gate did not dare to block her way at all, and stood respectfully aside.

Su Ziyu didn't squint, but secretly gave Mama Jin a look.

Mama Jin was ordered to go in first, firstly, to inform the Queen Mother, and secondly, to inquire whether Zhong Youshi had angered the Queen Mother.

It's just that before Mama Jin went in to report, she heard the fierce voice of the old lady of the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, "The Queen Mother, when you chose your granddaughter other than the courtiers to marry into the Ruyang Palace, the courtiers accepted it silently, and did not ask the Queen Mother or the emperor to take care of the overall situation." Now that the fiancΓ© of the courtier's granddaughter has died, why can't the queen mother take care of the decades-old friendship between the two of us, be magnanimous and give her a bright avenue......"

"Listen to what you mean, it's me, the queen mother, who is embarrassed that she can't do it?" The Queen Mother's voice sounded very angry, "The mourning family has repeatedly said that this is a national policy, and the harem must not interfere, you actually take friendship as an item, and there is still a friend of the mourning family for decades in your eyes?" ”

"If it weren't for the real friendship, how could the courtiers come here to beg the Queen Mother?" Zhong Youshi said, "Everyone is a woman, why bother with women? What's more, the granddaughter of the courtier's wife is still the same age, so how can she bear to be widowed for decades? The voice gradually questioned, "When she was young, didn't the Queen Mother also say that this girl was good-looking, and she was like the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and said that she would go out of the cabinet in the future, and the Queen Mother would give her ten miles of red makeup to let her get married. Queen Mother, ask yourself, are the courtiers loyal and dutiful for you? In order to keep the emperor back then, the courtiers even gave up their lives, how many times did they stop the hand that secretly harmed the emperor, can these not be counted? To be a human being, you have to speak of conscience......"

"Shut up." seemed to poke the Queen Mother's sore spot, and the Queen Mother's voice seemed angry at this time.

Su Ziyu and Lin Long hurriedly came in and heard this shout, it was really the worst situation, Lin Long couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Zhong You's grandmother, can the Queen Mother talk about friendship? It's okay when you're in a good mood, but once her interests are touched, she will turn her face and deny people at any time.

In fact, Zhong Youshi has always been good at getting along with the Queen Mother, and she will never take a step beyond Lei Chi, because she knows that what the Queen Mother can say is really the limit, and she is like a tiger.

Mama Jin was obviously terrified, after all, the Queen Mother was in a rage, who would dare to twist the tiger's whiskers? It can be affected by fire at any time. Seeing Su Ziyu approaching, she hurriedly shook her head, and looked at her master's stomach worriedly, really want to go in and have a hard time with the Queen Mother?

Su Ziyu glanced at Mama Jin soothingly, patted Lin Long's hand, and motioned for her to help herself in.

This time she lifted the curtain herself, but before she walked in, a blue and white porcelain tea bowl fell in front of her, and the queen mother's angry voice exploded in her ears like thunder, still counting Zhong You's family, "You really disappointed the mourning family, how does the mourning family treat you, you can also touch your conscience?" You failed to give birth to a son for your husband's family back then, who supported you? Let your position in the Zhong family be as stable as Mount Tai? Your stepson can follow the lord and go out of the office, who will give you the confidence and help? All of them are mourners, and without mourning families, can you be as stable as a rock in the Zhong family? Zhong Youshi, you want to accuse the mourning family now......"

didn't even call Mrs. Zhong's maiden name, obviously angry.

Lin Long was busy patrolling Old Lady Zhong with his eyes, but when he saw her kneeling on the ground, straightening her waist, and not being hurt, she was a little relieved, looked at the ground carefully, and helped Su Ziyu avoid the broken porcelain piece that bloomed into a flower.

The two women who were arguing with each other and were over half a hundred years old, apparently unaware that someone had lifted the curtain and came in.

Zhong Youshi was really bold enough, and actually sneered a few times, "Which of the close friends of ordinary people doesn't help each other?" When it came to the mouth of the Queen Mother, it became a grace? If the courtiers do not have a friendship with the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the granddaughter of the courtiers will have another fate, at least they will not be targeted, and they will marry far away to be bullied in such places, so that the earth should not be called spiritual, and the most damned is the courtiers, who will bring her such bad luck......"

As she said, the help given to her by the Queen Mother is far less than the open guns and hidden arrows that she blocked in order to protect the emperor when she grew up. She never regarded herself as the emperor's benefactor, didn't Chang Xi save the emperor's life and soar into the harem? What did she, the nurse, get? Even without the help of the Queen Mother, she can still set the Zhong family up and down, but it takes more effort.

The Queen Mother's complexion turned even redder because of her anger, she had not been bumped into for too long by someone in a high position, and the discord with Su Ziyu was also under the table, and there was always a harmonious atmosphere on the table. For Zhong Youshi, a boudoir friend, she asked herself if she was good enough for her, at least she contradicted her like this, she hadn't attacked her yet, but the saint also couldn't help it, "Zhong Youshi, pouting in front of the mourning family, are you dying?" ”

Zhong Youshi was also blinded by fire at this time, "The courtiers have already been prepared when they enter the palace, for the granddaughter of the courtiers, even if the courtiers give up their lives for her life freedom, why not?" ”

The Queen Mother got up angrily, "Okay, it's good, aren't you afraid that the mourning family will kill you?" There is a kind, mourning this will fulfill you, come on-"

Zhong You's family was not only not afraid, but straightened her back, anyway, her daughters are married, and now the Zhong family is not her blood relatives, and she doesn't owe anything to the Zhong family, but because of her, she hurt Ye Manjun's life, she blamed herself for this for a long time, she used to hold a glimmer of hope, but now that her hope is shattered, what is she afraid of dying?

"See the Queen Mother." Su Ziyu spoke out at the right time.

The Queen Mother noticed her arrival, she was still a little angry in her anger, and her eyes glanced at Lin Long coldly, not surprising that Su Ziyu was instigated by someone to come over, "What are you doing?" It's almost time to give birth, so it's better to stay in your dormitory. ”

Zhong You hurriedly turned her head, and saw Lin Long shaking her head at her calmly, she had lived a long time, and for the first time she asked a junior to save her, she couldn't help but feel even more red-faced, and she was stunned for a while.

"The Queen Mother is old, why is she so angry? The concubine didn't come here because she was worried, but she was afraid that the queen mother would be angry, and it would be troublesome. Su Ziyu said, motioning for Lin Long to help her sit in the chair brought by the palace people.

No matter how angry the Queen Mother is, she still remembers that she is a woman who is about to give birth.

Listening to the daughter-in-law's remarks that seemed to be worried about her, she couldn't help but sneer, since she returned to the palace this time, she could see that Su Ziyu and her were not of the same mind, "This is a matter of mourning the family, Ziyu, it's better not to interfere." ”

"Queen Mother, how can there be no one to talk to in the world? If you dispose of Mrs. Zhong today, he will regret it one day, and there is no one in this world who can talk to you. Su Ziyu's voice was not in a hurry, and the persuasion was also a different way, completely starting from the Queen Mother herself.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhong You's gaze and hesitated slightly, she didn't really want to be a loner, except for Zhong Youshi in this world, she really didn't have anyone to speak, no matter who faced her except for stammering or patting on the back, how could she really talk to the bottom of her heart? At least Zhong Youshi is still one.

Lin Long saw that the Queen Mother's expression had changed, so he hurriedly paced over, touched Zhong You's body, and whispered, "Grandmother, there is no need for eggs to touch stones, my mother-in-law asked me, a junior, to persuade you, it is important to save your life." ”

Zhong Youshi didn't really want to die even if he lived to this age, but when he thought of Ye Manjun, he couldn't beg for mercy anyway. She also knew that it was a favor for the Queen Mother to help her, and it was reasonable not to help her, but for the first time in decades, she asked her to help, and she treated her like this, how could she not chill her?

Lin Long saw that the old lady was stubborn, and couldn't help but start to get anxious, if she didn't admit a few words of spare, how would the queen mother's stage go? Imperial power has always been domineering.

"Grandmother......" she whispered anxiously again.

"You don't have to persuade me, my heart is decided." Old Lady Zhong said stubbornly.

In fact, the Queen Mother was also waiting for Mrs. Zhong to give her the steps, after all, an old friend for decades, she did trap her when Ye Manjun pointed out the marriage, but she didn't expect this to be the situation at the time. If she had known earlier, maybe she would have had another choice, and the candidate for the princess of Ruyang Wang did not necessarily have to be Ye Manjun, and now she could only sigh and make people.

It's just that when she saw Mrs. Zhong's stubborn appearance, her fading anger couldn't help but rise, is this going to be with her? Well, she fulfilled her, then gritted her teeth and said, "Where did the people die?" Didn't you hear the call of mourning? ”

Su Ziyu didn't expect that Mrs. Zhong would be stubborn to this, it is more difficult to impress the Queen Mother than to ascend to the sky, she knew it several years ago, the Queen Mother's mouth is always better than singing.

Lin Long was also even more anxious, how could this old lady make a mistake at this juncture?

Just when the atmosphere was more tense, Su Ziyu snorted lightly, attracting everyone's eyes to look at her.

Mama Jin even rushed forward and grabbed Su Ziyu's hand, "Niangniang, how are you?" Is it going to give birth? ”

As soon as this was mentioned, where could the Queen Mother still care about disposing of Mrs. Zhong, and she didn't need to be helped at all, so she rushed to Su Ziyu and asked worriedly, "Ziyu, how are you doing?" Is the fetus moving? ”

Lin Long also hurried to Su Ziyu's side, "Stepmother? ”

Su Ziyu seemed to be speechless in pain, but still reluctantly said, "Call the imperial doctor?" The hand also secretly pinched Mama Jin's hand.

Mama Jin was stunned, and then she understood, and immediately said, "The old slave is going to call the imperial doctor." ”

Letting go of her master's hand, she immediately turned around and went out.

The Queen Mother didn't notice the secret words of the master and servant in private, and she was walking back and forth in the hall in a hurry at this time, she had great hopes for Su Ziyu's birth, and she was busy directing people to carry Su Ziyu into the inner hall and lie on the bed.

Lin Long hurriedly stepped forward to cheer Su Ziyu up, now that Su Ziyu wants to give birth, a major event can only be put on hold first, and then make a decision after giving birth to the prince.

Su Ziyu took advantage of the Queen Mother's inattention and secretly winked at Lin Long, Lin Long suddenly became rigid there, bowed his head and approached Su Ziyu's ear, "Mother-in-law, you pretend to be ......"

"Shh Su Ziyu reminded in a low voice.

She can persuade the Queen Mother, but there is no way to deal with this stubborn old lady Zhong, this must be done by Emperor Zhu Yi, after all, Zhong You is Zhu Yi's nurse, and the relationship between the two is also quite deep.

Lin Long only realized what her intention was in doing this? couldn't help but be even more grateful, after all, if it weren't for her, how could Su Ziyu care about such a nossy matter? Why make such a big move?

Does Zhong You know what the prince means to the royal family? Kneeling there, she couldn't help but look at it, hoping that Su Ziyu's mother and son would be safe.

It didn't take long for the emperor to leave the state affairs behind, hurried to the queen mother's bedroom, and was stunned when he saw Zhong You's nurse, "Nurse, why are you here?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Zhong Youshi hurriedly called, "Quick, the queen mother is inside, I'm afraid she's about to give birth......"

When Zhu Yi heard this voice, he didn't care about greetings to find out the ins and outs of the matter, so he rushed to the inner hall to see Su Ziyu, and then shouted, "What about the imperial doctor and the stable woman?" ”

"Your Majesty." As soon as the Queen Mother heard her son's voice, she hurriedly greeted her.

Zhu Yi said a few words to his mother, and he was going to see Su Ziyu.

Su Ziyu has experience in giving birth to children, her cries of pain are very frequent, and Mama Jin also has experience in delivering babies, and after commanding everyone to be in a hurry, she slowed down when she saw the emperor coming.

"Ziyu, I won't let you have anything to do......" Zhu Yi held Su Ziyu's hand and said solemnly.

"The concubine knows." Su Ziyu replied casually.

The queen mother hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty, this woman has a child, you can't get close, or go out first, there is still a queen mother watching here, and you can't get out of the mess......"

"I want to be by Ziyu's side." Zhu Yi didn't want to go out, he wanted to compensate his wife.

The queen mother couldn't allow her son to break the rules and dragged him out.

Su Ziyu screamed a few times in pain, which made Zhu Yi's cold hair stand up.

Lin Long wiped his sweat with momentum, and saw the emperor's eager appearance in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic at this time, although this emperor is not a good thing, but his own stepmother is playing with him like this, is it really good?

Where does Zhu Yi want to go out? He couldn't wait to leave Su Ziyu without taking a step, and he was in a stalemate with the queen mother, and when the imperial doctor came over, after a lot of chaos, the imperial doctor and Mama Jin came out to tell again, saying that they had eaten a trick, and the queen mother had not yet given birth.

This is actually nothing, some women have been in pain for about ten days in advance before they start to move the real fetus, and even the Queen Mother is not easy to blame.

Zhu Yi hurriedly rushed to Su Ziyu, who was calmly drinking soup, "Doesn't it hurt now?" ”

"Let the emperor worry, obviously our emperor doesn't want to come out yet." Su Ziyu stroked her abdomen and said without apology.

"This kid, wait for him to come out, I will spank him." Zhu Yi glared at his wife's stomach, he learned to go against him before he came out, and he didn't have to show some color?

"Your Majesty, if you scare our children so much that they don't dare to come out, what do I think you will do?" Su Ziyu said with a straight face.

"I'm not scaring him? How can you take it seriously. Zhu Yi hurriedly explained.

Su Ziyu glanced at him, and then stopped revolving around this issue.

Only then did Zhu Yi think of the old lady Zhong who was still kneeling, and was busy asking what was going on?

At the mention of Zhong Youshi, the Queen Mother's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Zhu Yi didn't expect this old lady to come to the queen mother, sighed, and stroked his wife's hair, "You rest, if you feel unwell, call the imperial doctor, and leave this matter to me to deal with." ”

"Your Majesty?" The Queen Mother called.

"Queen Mother, the person who agrees that the daughter of the Ye family will marry into the Ruyang Palace, is it me, or I will explain it to the nurse." Zhu Yi said in a deep voice, turned around and went out of the hall.

The Queen Mother's expression darkened slightly, in fact, without her initiative, how could her son choose Ye Manjun, in this regard, Zhong Youshi did not wronged her.

Lin Long's heart rose to his throat again, and he was afraid that this old lady Zhong would not be able to turn around.

Su Ziyu knew that she was worried, so she found a name for her to go out and have a look.

Lin Long didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly raised her feet and went out, but she immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Old Lady Zhong had been helped up by the emperor's condescension.

I heard the emperor say: "Nurse, I understand your feelings, and it is not comfortable for anyone to put this on you." This Ye family daughter is your own granddaughter, I will really make her widowed? Don't worry, I will find her a wishful husband no matter what, and I will let her have something to rely on for the rest of her life, and she will not be alone......"

Zhong Youshi listened to the emperor's blueprint with teary eyes, in fact, how much was true and how much was false, she couldn't tell clearly, when this child grew up, she would no longer be the child who would nest in her arms and say "Nurse, I want to hug" in a crisp voice.

"Your Majesty, can't you really let her come back? This is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and my heart feels uncomfortable when I think of her......" Zhong Youshi finally said the words from the bottom of his heart.

The emperor only comforted and never mentioned Ye Manjun's return to Beijing.

When Lin Long heard this, his heart couldn't help but feel cold, it seemed that the operation of Ye Manjun's return to Beijing was completely out of play.

Zhong Youshi didn't go on in the end, obviously she still had some feelings for this child who was raised by herself, and she still listened to his persuasion in the end, but her friendship with the Queen Mother was afraid that it would be difficult to continue in the future.

Su Ziyu pretended to be a deceitful producer, and Lin Long didn't want to leave the palace immediately for a while, so as not to worry Ye Zhong and Zhong Guo, so he had to arrange for Zhong You's to leave the palace first.

The Queen Mother stood upstairs and watched the former close friend leave without looking back, let out a long sigh, and finally held Gong E's hand, "It's cold, let's go back to the house." ”

She has calculated too much, and at the same time lost too much, God, it is still fair.

Lin Long accompanied Su Ziyu back to the palace, accompanied by Emperor Zhu Yi.

When he arrived at Su Ziyu's bedroom, Zhu Yi didn't leave, and Lin Long couldn't stay any longer, so he could only leave with understanding.

Su Ziyu didn't keep her, but just told her to come to the palace to accompany her often, and Lin Long nodded "yes".

As Gong E walked on the way out of the palace, someone called her.

"Mrs. Hou." ――
