Chapter 196: Attack
Concubine Teng on the other side of the room went to see her son, did she come back? Concubine Rong's cry made her heart beat faster, this palace has been dying one after another, and she has only one son, but she must not follow in the footsteps of her previous son and Zhu Ziran.
"Concubine Fang, the second master is back."
Hearing the report of her subordinates, she hurriedly stepped forward and couldn't help but blame: "Why did you come back so late?" I'm worried about my mother's death, I'm afraid that you're the same as those two dead ghosts, bah, bah, good spirits are not good, son, you are the only one for your mother, you must be careful to save this life......"
Zhu Ziqi looked at the anxiety on his mother's face, no wonder his mother couldn't sit still, he stretched out his hand to help his mother sit down, "Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine, my son's life is hard." ”
"If you say it's okay, it's okay? You listen to this cry, I feel cold when I hear it, alas, this Zhu Ziran is looking for death by himself, but he is miserable. ”
Even if she is not in harmony with Concubine Rong, she can't be happy at this time, and she has a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, "As long as you are safe, I would rather you not be the son of this world for the sake of your mother......"
"Mother, I can't say such frustrating words anymore, I swear to win the position of the son of this world." Zhu Ziqi said firmly and strongly, half of this is for Ye Manjun, such a beautiful woman, he doesn't want to give it to others.
Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Concubine Teng faintly knew her son's thoughts, "For the Ye family's daughter?" ”
"Not exactly." Zhu Ziqi replied, "Now besides me, who else is worthy of being the son of the world?" Fifth brother? He's still a half-grown hairy child, how can he be up to this task? ”
Concubine Teng also knew in her heart that what her son said was right now, she was not worried about this, anyway, Zhu Zijiao couldn't compete with her son, what she was worried about was his temptation for Ye Manjun, which made her not optimistic at all. Since ancient times, the amorous people have a rough fate, and the king of Ruyang not only wants to marry the noble girl of the capital as his wife, but also marries the local noble girl as the side room, which is the tradition of the Ruyang royal palace. She is afraid that her son will not be emotional, will she do something out of the ordinary if she is emotional? She wasn't worried at all before, but now it's obviously different.
Seeing his mother's still unopened face, Zhu Ziqi frowned slightly, "Mother, what are you worried about?" ”
"Son, you tell your mother something from the bottom of your heart, this Ye girl, are you really pleasing her, you won't marry in this life?"
"I thought my mother would ask something, but this is the case? That's right, Miss Ye is very good, and it is a blessing to have her as a wife. ”
Zhu Ziqi did not hide his mother's choice, especially the open and honest conversation with Ye Manjun tonight, which made him pity such a weak woman and wanted her to shelter from the wind and rain for the rest of his life.
Concubine Teng still didn't let go of her brows, looking at the solemnity of her son's face, she also paid more attention to it, "Son, you have to understand the burden on your shoulders, this Ye girl is good, but you can't just guard her, you understand what your mother means, right?" ”
Zhu Ziqi's brows furrowed slightly, this question, in fact, not only did not mention, even Ye Manjun did not mention it, what separated them was not only the changes in Ruyang City, but also such a tradition of marrying wives and taking concubines.
Concubine Teng said earnestly: "You like Miss Ye, you can love her a little more in private, but this concubine can't be accepted, otherwise you won't be able to sit firmly in the position of the king of Ruyang, son, I hope you can understand how heavy this responsibility is?" ”
It is even more difficult to challenge the magnates of the entire Ruyang City by himself, just as Zhu Yi had affection for her back then, but he had to marry Zhu Chen's family, and he had to accommodate the concubine and others. No matter how heartbroken she is, she has to tolerate the existence of this group of people, which is an indisputable fact.
"Mother, this matter will not be a problem, my son has his own opinion." Zhu Ziqi replied, "It's late at night, so let's rest early." ”
With that, he got up and saluted and took his leave.
Concubine Teng sighed and watched her son leave, it seemed that her son was a little stubborn, she still dredged Ye Manjun's side, hoping that Ye Manjun was a truly accessible person.
"Why should the side concubine worry? This Miss Ye is not an unreasonable person, she will understand and accept it. The close servant beside him explained.
"That's what I hope it is." Concubine Teng said, and then ordered someone to light the lamp, she wanted to go to Zhu Yi's yard, this night Zhu Yi was afraid that he was very uncomfortable, this Zhu Ziran was also his biological son.
The courtyard of the prince Zhu Yi was dark, Concubine Teng waved away, gently lifted the curtain and walked in, seeing that the man's shadow was extremely lonely, her heart ached.
She stepped forward and hugged his waist from behind, "Lord Wang." ”
Zhu Yi's body moved slightly, and when her face was close to his back, he reached out to hold the hands she was clasping on his chest, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm worried you're here." Concubine Teng said, "The deceased is gone, the prince must not let his body collapse, otherwise how can you let the concubine live?" ”
Such warm words warmed Zhu Yi's heart very much, the only thing he cared about most over the years was her, it was nothing more than that she had the heating he absorbed, which Zhu Chen and even other women did not have.
He turned around and hugged her emotionally, "It's good that I still have you." ”
Concubine Teng leaned on his arms to comfort him, and the palpitating cry sounded in her ears, and she leaned closer to his arms.
At dawn the next day, after learning the cause of her son's death, Concubine Rong actually broke into the courtyard of the princess Zhu Chen with a knife with the intention of doing something wrong, but was stopped by the people around Zhu Chen's family, and immediately reported to the prince Zhu Yi.
Zhu Chen escorted Concubine Rong to her husband, "Lord, what crime should she be guilty of next?" ”
Zhu Yi's gaze swept over the dried tears on Concubine Rong's face, this woman who has always been inconsistent with her appearance and appearance actually doesn't know his heart, but after all, she also gave birth to a son for herself, he raised his head and looked at his wife calmly, "Ziran has already paid for Zijie's life, what else do you want?" You are the one who came to her feelings, why can't you be more tolerant? ”
For her husband's words, Zhu Chen sneered and was tolerant? How does she talk about tolerance for a woman who shares her husband? Isn't this a joke? "The prince's words are wrong, I am the main concubine, she is only a side concubine at best, raising a knife to the main wife, this is a capital crime......"
"That's enough." Zhu Yi slapped the table vigorously.
This voice frightened Zhu Chen's face greatly, but she still stood there stubbornly and stared at her husband, she had retreated too much in her life, why did she have to retreat again?
Concubine Rong was frightened awake by this palm, only to see her gritted teeth glaring at Zhu Chen, helplessly her hands were restrained, "You return my son's life, Zhu Chen, you return my son's life-"
This is another madman, Zhu Yi looked at these two women with a headache, what did he do in his life, why did he marry a wife and concubine all a virtue?
"You shut up for me, it was your son who killed my son first, and it was your son who was guilty......" Zhu Chen retorted loudly.
"But even if that were the case, you couldn't do such a thing? Zhu Chen, I won't let you go-" Concubine Rong couldn't care about pretending to be docile and virtuous anymore, at this moment she only thought about avenging her son.
"Lord, listen, she actually threatened not to let me go, why should she? It's just a concubine......" Zhu Chen shouted loudly.
Zhu Yi's head hurt faintly, no matter which one he was, he didn't want to be biased, these two women made him more and more disgusted.
"Lord Wang." Concubine Teng came out of the inner room with ginseng tea, stepped forward to put down the tea, and massaged Zhu Yi's head knowingly to relieve his pain.
Seeing Concubine Teng appear, Zhu Chen's and Concubine Rong's eyes widened, obviously this woman lived here last night, and both of them were extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, but they are now more concerned about their sons, and they have no time to fight for jealousy, their sons are gone, and it is useless to fight again.
"The prince's headache is committed again, the princess's concubine Rong Fang should go back first." Concubine Teng said.
"It's not your turn to take care of the affairs of this princess, Teng's family, you get out of the way for me, there is no room for you to speak here......" Where would Zhu Chen's family listen to Concubine Teng's persuasion, in her eyes, this woman has always been at odds with her.
"Enough!" Zhu Yi shouted, "Do you want to be angry with me to death?" ”
"Lord, the concubine body doesn't mean this, it's just that she is disrespectful to the concubine, so the concubine body will say this, and please ask the prince to know it." Zhu Chen knelt down and said.
Concubine Teng looked at her actions coldly, she often sang against her, but she really felt sorry for Zhu Yi at this time, and she couldn't do it with her.
Zhu Yi's forehead tendons kept beating, and Zhu Chen's gaze became more and more cold.
When the atmosphere was stalemate, someone came in to report, saying that the major families in Ruyang City came to the door to ask to see the prince, which was obviously caused by Zhu Ziran's sudden death, and it was too late to announce his suspected murder of his brother in Ruyang City.
In the living room of the Ruyang Palace, at this moment, several rooms of people and horses stood there opposite to each other, and Master Ma was also dragged over, but he did not express his opinion, but just sat there for decades and watched the characters of all parties fight.
Among them, the Rong family is the most noisy, and the Teng family is a vested interest, but it is much quieter.
Zhu Yi appeared on this occasion with a cold face, the scene immediately calmed down, and when he saw that the head of the Rong family was about to question the cause of Zhu Ziran's death, he waved his hand, "Don't be impatient for a while, this king will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”
As soon as he raised his hand, someone immediately appeared to announce the crime committed by Zhu Ziran, but it was to hide the matter of breaking into Ye Manjun's boudoir at night, this was to protect Ye Manjun's reputation, but put his crime of murdering his brother in the first place.
Everyone was in an uproar immediately, they didn't expect Zhu Ziran to do such a conscientious thing.
Zhu Chen cried out in public again, such a move sealed the mouth of the Rong family, and the head of the Rong family immediately didn't say a word, just sat there with a gloomy face, feeling gloomy.
Zhu Yi glanced at everyone, raised his hand and signaled the uproar to silence everyone, "This king has found out this matter, Ziran's death is self-inflicted, Concubine Rong is overly sad and even insane, and the Rong family will take her back for the time being." ”
This is tantamount to taking a leave of absence from Concubine Rong, the patriarch of the Rong family is Concubine Rong's father, and after being stunned, he can only accept bitterly, who asked his daughter to raise such a son?
Zhu Chen cried for a while, and suddenly said to Zhu Yi, "Lord, the concubine wants to pass the five sons of the step-concubine and take the knee of the stepson Chenghuan as the stepson......"
Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.
