Chapter 131: Forbearance
The strength of a guard on the periphery of the East Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
All officials and palace people in the Donghua Gate in the eastern part of the Forbidden City are not allowed to pass.
Not even a fly could fly in, and no one knew what was going on inside.
The blood stains on the white round-necked shirt of the crown prince Zhu Yunhong have dried up, showing a large dark red.
He was frightened, obviously pretending to be calm, the Cao family was destroyed, Zhu Yunhong lived in the East Palace every day, people were panicked, walking on thin ice, for fear that the next person with his head hanging outside the noon gate would be him.
In the hall, the female corpse was lying in a pool of blood, and the smell of blood filled the entire hall.
He was waiting for his father's sentence to pronounce on him.
Death has made him wait for a long time.
The emperor's dragon eyes drooped slightly, like a sign before the great anger.
Zhu Yunhong waited for a long time, but there was no movement, only to hear that the emperor closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Come, the prince is arrogant and arrogant, relying on power and no king, and he is even more murderous, in vain as the prince, he will press to Lingnan one day to fill the official service, this journey will be escorted by Chu Taifu himself, if he is not called, he will never enter Beijing." ”
As soon as the holy mouth came out, Zhu Yunhong collapsed to the ground, looking at the colorful auspicious clouds on the beam, as if he was relieved.
When Chu Chen heard this, his brows tightened, as soon as the holy words came out, no one could get it back, but he couldn't leave now!
What's more--- the dignified prince was escorted to Lingnan to serve as an official? Lingnan is the nest of the rebels, although Bai Qishan is demoted to Lingnan on the surface, but in fact he is ---
Chu Chen didn't have to think about it, he knew that he had to go.
The huge hall of the East Palace echoed the footsteps of the emperor walking away, and when Wen Tianyou and Chu Chen passed by, they seemed to joke: "Lord Taifu has a long way to go, this trip is easy to go!" ”
The news that Chu Chen was about to leave for Lingnan spread to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei as quickly as possible, and Mrs. Hou was half happy and half worried.
Happily, the eldest son can finally stay away from Bai Ruosu; The worry is that Lingnan and his party will not be able to come back for a year and a half, and the marriage will drag on for a while, Chu Chen will be twenty-three, and he will be replaced by a disciple of the family next to him, at this age, he has already had three wives and four concubines, and there are many children.
Mrs. Hou leaned on the soft couch, rubbed her temples with a brocade handkerchief, turned the Buddhist beads on her wrist, and sighed: "Your eldest brother doesn't know what it takes to become a family!" He is the eldest son of the long house, and the Chu family's incense will have to rely on him in the future, how long will this --- delay! ”
Chu has two rooms in the family, Chu Beiyan is the eldest son, so he attacked the throne, and the two younger brothers below him used silver to seek a seven-grade sesame official in Sanhe and Shunyi, and their lives are quite passable.
When Mrs. Chu was alive, the three brothers still moved around often, but they have been estranged a lot over the years.
Chu Lan has something on her mind, and she really doesn't care much about her eldest brother's going, not to mention that Chu Chen is not in the capital, but she is at ease.
As he was talking, Chu Beiyan was wearing the official uniform of a Zhengyipin official, and he wore a ribbon on his body and walked with him, swaying from side to side. He was originally a man who was more than eight feet tall, and his appearance was also a standard general's appearance, and when he wore an official robe, he didn't look like a man in his forties at all.
Chu Lan thought that her mother was so blessed that she could be pampered by a man like her father for a lifetime.
When Mrs. Hou saw Master Hou coming to her courtyard, she hurriedly got up and stepped forward to take the sword for him: "Why did you come back at this time?" What about Song Zhi? "Song Zhi is Chu Chen's character, and few people know it, Ruo Su is one of them.
Chu Beiyan sat on the round chair, Gu Zi poured a cup of herbal tea, and poured a few sips violently, he was used to fighting on the march, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were not so meticulous.
After taking a breath, he said: "There was an accident in the East Palace, saying that the prince deliberately committed murder and killed a palace maid, and the emperor is a person who loves the people. As for the crown prince--- my son, as the crown prince, should advance and retreat with the prince, but this matter is really strange, the emperor did not interrogate the prince, nor did he examine the female corpse--- "Chu Beiyan is a martial artist, and he has always been insightful about those dark tides, and he is always inferior to the eldest son.
Mrs. Hou never judged the government in vain, but worried: "You, a father, don't know what to plan for your son, do you know what --- maid in her house saw when she cleaned up the bed this morning!" Chu Lan was in front of her, and Mrs. Hou didn't say any more.
Chu Beiyan was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Ahem--- Song's heart is the court, he is not young, he should get married as soon as possible, but now is not the time!" From the lady's point of view, looking for a girl with reasonable appearance and character, how about opening her face and waiting with him first? ”
Even Chu Ji has several girls in the same room, Chu Chen is several years older than him, but his surroundings are too clean. This inevitably makes Mrs. Hou think crankily all day long.
Chu Lan reluctantly agreed: "I can only do this now, but I still have to drink the soup to avoid the child." "The concubine is orderly, how can the concubine be out before the concubine!
If Tongfang wants to give birth to a child, he can only wait for his wife to give birth to a male heir.
Even some people have survived for a lifetime, but they haven't been able to become aunts, but it's better than being a maid, not to mention Chu Chen's room!
If you have a spring-night, you are willing to die even if you are afraid of death!
For a while, all the girls who were a little beautiful in the head of the Hou Mansion wanted to show their faces in front of Mrs. Hou, and when they accompanied the prince to Lingnan, when the emperor was far away, it was not impossible to make it impossible for the child to conceive.
climbed into Chu Shizi's bed, which is equivalent to one step to the sky, and the pheasant-phoenix.
"Mother, is this really right?" Chu Lan was uneasy, before she left the pavilion, Wang Lingyue, the granddaughter of the Ministry of Rites, fell in love with Chu Chen, and Wang Ge Lao repeatedly came to the door to hint, but was directly rejected by Chu Chen, so that the Wang family has not been waiting to see the Chu family, and every time they meet in the court, they also ignore it.
Mrs. Hou was also not sure, but remembering the situation described by the maid who cleaned up Chu Chen's house, she still felt sorry for her son: "Is there a normal man who doesn't like women?" Your eldest brother has never touched a woman's body, so he is indifferent, and when he understands the wonders, he will be enlightened. Mrs. Hou sneered, and said to Chu Lan: "You, stay in your mother's house for a few days and go back early, don't let the virtuous son-in-law be hooked up by the fox next to you, you will cry when the time comes." ”
Chu Lan bit her lip: "Mother, when you talk about the eldest brother, why are you involved with me?!" ”
-------
When Chu Chen returned to the Hou Mansion, it was dark.
Standing on the triple pavilion, you can see the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, doesn't the emperor want him to train the prince and wait for him to return to the court again when he is full-fledged? Bai Qishan is the emperor's confidant, I'm afraid he also knows about it, right?
However, before seeing Bai Qishan, Chu Chen didn't dare to conclude.
A maid came in with water and a cloth towel, Chu Chen faced the sycamore in the courtyard, and said in a flat voice: "Put it down." ”
The maid really put down the copper basin, but did not go out, but lowered her head, stood behind Chu Chen and whispered: "Lord Shizi, the slave maid is waiting for you to change your clothes." "The voice is delicate, but it's too contrived, so that it is inevitable to get tired of listening to it.
Chu Chen turned half of his face sideways, Rao is light was unknown, and the belly pocket of the maid goose yellow embroidered gold magpie behind him could still be vaguely seen, this woman's face was very raw, not the maid he was waiting for in the house, but had a good face.
"Who made you come! Say! Chu Chen suddenly shouted, his eyes full of anger.
The maid just glanced at it, she was ashamed and afraid, and even her voice began to tremble: "Slave maid--- slave maid admires the prince --- be--"
"Shut up! Get the hell out of here! Without waiting for the maid to finish speaking, Chu Chen immediately stopped, pointed to the edge of the door, and said mercilessly: "If you don't leave, you will go to Qin Manlou tomorrow to stay!" "Qin Manlou is a famous brothel in the capital.
The maid looked at Chu Chen in astonishment, instantly shed tears and fell down, bowed down and trembled: "Slave and maid, get out, please spare the slave and maid this time, the slave and maid will not dare anymore--- it is the lady who asked the slave and maid to come and serve the prince." ”
Chu Chenweirui's facial features were exceptionally handsome in the night, as if they were a sculpture from ancient times, he adjusted his breath and spit out only one word: "Get out!" "Resolute and ruthless.
"Yes, slave and maid, get out."
The room was quiet for a moment, and Wang Pu, who was in the shadows, scratched his head and stood behind Chu Chen unnaturally: "Lord Shizi, you dissipate your anger, and Mrs. is also good for you." The white girl had already drunk her medicine, and she should be asleep by this time. ”
As soon as Wang Pu's voice fell, Chu Chen instructed the maid outside: "Prepare soup, bathe and change clothes." ”
This maid's name is Yinchun, she was rescued by Chu Chen from Renyazi a few years ago, she is diligent and honest, and she is also the only maid in Chu Chen's room.
She quickly filled the wooden bath barrel in the clean room with hot water, and sprinkled flower petals according to the instructions of the prince.
Yinchun didn't know why the prince would bathe with flower petals every once in a while. However, this morning, Mrs. came to inquire about the prince, and she reported it truthfully, thinking that the beautiful maid was also arranged by the lady to open meat for the prince.
Thinking of Chu Chen's great kindness to her, she was ashamed, so before Chu Chen untied her clothes, she knelt down in front of him: "The slave and maid should die, it was the slave and maid who said it thoroughly, so that Mrs. --- let Mrs. think about where else to ---, slave and maid shouldn't let Mrs. know that you last night---。 "Ginkgo can't go on.
Chu Chen's eyebrows furrowed, but he remembered the dreaming last night, the dream was full of subtle sweetness, as well as her hazy eyes, pink lips, and a muffled voice, and a pair of snow-white lotus arms that had been wrapped around his neck, unrelenting---
Everything he had dreamed of seemed so real in front of him, he didn't want to wake up, not at all.
It was a dream alone that made him reminisce again and again---
"Get up, remember what you should say and what you should not say in the future!" Chu Chen walked into the clean room with an expressionless face, although Ginkgo was the maid in his house, he had never been close to serve, and these things had always been done by Chu Chen himself.
--------
Qiao's Mansion, West Wing Courtyard.
Ruosu was in a very worried mood, she instructed Qiaoyun to pour the medicinal juice, if it was the first time she would wake up, she would 'meet for a while' Chu Chen!
"Is he really --- going to do anything?" Ruo Su confirmed again that if she didn't pretend to be asleep, that person would definitely use other methods to make her really sleep, and when the time came--- just thinking about it would make her want to die.
Qiao Yunying said: "Miss, don't worry, every time Chu Shizi comes over, he just looks at you, and he will leave in less than half a pillar of incense." ”
Ruo Su looked at Qin Xiang and Qiao Yan, who had been stunned, and only believed Qiao Yun's words for three points, if he was really a gentleman, why bother?
Huh--- gentleman? I'm afraid that the east and east outside are also his people! What does this man want?
Ruosu pulled the collar of his middle shirt, wrapped his neck tightly, and lay down on the bed again, pulling a thin blanket to cover it.
After a while, she heard the sound of Qiaoyun stepping out of the door, and then the door was closed, and then there were only very light and shallow steps, and the smell of rose petals that was getting closer and closer.
Her hand hidden in the thin quilt was tightly twisted, and she held a few silver needles in her other hand, her eyes were tightly closed, and she could only rely on her senses to feel the person's approach.
The heartbeat was beating wildly uncontrollably, but fortunately she already knew how to control the pulse, otherwise in front of Chu Chen, there was a possibility of revealing her stuff at any time.
A candle was lit in the closet of the Qiangong bed, and the faint candle light shone on the girl's face, like a fine mutton fat jade, with a white luster in the faint light, without flaw.
Chu Chen was already close, Ruo Su could feel his stopped footsteps, or that strong male breath, lingering around her entire nasal cavity, chest, and even every nerve, Xu is eyes closed for a long time, as soon as this person appeared, her brain appeared blank for a moment, and she actually had a tendency to be drowsy.
That's not good---
Chu Chen lifted his robe and sat slowly on the edge of the bed, Ruosu heard his slight sigh and the unsteadiness of his exhalation.
At this time, Chu Chen's gaze slowly fell on her bare feet along the girl's warm and jade-like face.
It's too small, probably not as big as his hand.
Didn't Bai Qishan cherish his only daughter and not let him bind his feet?
Why does she just grow tall and not grow feet?
The toes were pink and white, round and smooth, and every place was extremely delicate and delicate, especially the small red mole on the thumb, he stretched out his arm and gently held a jade foot, put it in the palm of his hand and pinched it, it was soft, as if there were no bones.
With such a pair of feet, when he dodges him, he runs backwards quite fast.
Chu Chen sighed slightly.
Although he is a civil official, he was brought up in the military camp by Chu Beiyan since he was a child, his hands were full of thin calluses, and his hands rubbed the soles of Ruosu's feet, gently, slowly.
Ruo Su was already afraid of itching, so it was even more unbearable, and the hand hidden in the quilt was clenched into a fist, and he couldn't wait to sit up immediately and prick Chu Chen with a few stitches!
"Susu, I'm leaving tomorrow, and today - I have something to say to you." Chu Chen's low and magnetic voice was eloquent, like a spring breeze, completely devoid of his usual domineering and cold.
His voice is extremely good, especially when he calls her name, it is extremely ambiguous.
Ruo Su felt that she couldn't help it for a moment, the silver needle in her right hand was already ready to go, but she didn't know if with Chu Chen's skills, would she dodge it?
In case, if there is a disturbance and the Qiao family knows about it, she can only marry him, right?
No, this man's methods are so insidious, and since he can come, he has made all the preparations.
Today - in the cemetery, I listened to Qiao Erye's talk in front of Aunt Liu's grave, which already made her feel depressed, and now she has to deal with such a person, Ruosu only feels that she can live again, and many things still can't be controlled by her.
For example, the current situation. (To be continued.) )
