==Chapter 66==
Just like what Jiu Niang thought, no one could understand why Han Yunniang would choose such a way to die.
Especially hearing and seeing are completely different things, when Xiao Siniang heard the movement and ran over, she saw Han Yunniang's hideous face and tongue sticking out on the bed, and she fainted on the spot.
Han Yunniang strangled herself to death by herself, the maidservant watched too closely, and she was too sick to even find death, so she tied the strip of cloth that she pieced together at some point to the pillar at the head of the bed, first put the rope around her neck, and then rolled out of bed and strangled herself to death.
No one knows what she thought at the time and why she chose such a way, but her death was undoubtedly shocking and sensational, almost shocking everyone in the Xiao family. When Duchess An Guo and Cui's reacted, they didn't cover up the news when they wanted to.
Han Yunniang's death was too miserable, and the few maids who found out that she died at the beginning were all scared, the fart and urine flow were light, and there were not a few who were stunned and had nightmares every night.
The county lord of Chaoxia was not in Chongyue Pavilion at that time, and his nurse Li was not there, and there was no one in Chongyue Pavilion who could calm the scene at that time, so this news quickly spread in the mansion.
After Xiao Siniang woke up, she cried endlessly as if she was crazy.
After Xiao Hang received the news, An Rongyuan and the Cui family sent people over, and the county lord of Chaoxia received the news outside and hurried back, facing the angry Xiao Hang, his eyes were red and angry glaring at her, and that kind of look seemed to be about to eat her alive.
The county lord of Chaoxia can't explain, what can she explain?
Say she didn't do anything in the middle?
Without moving her hands and feet, Han Yunniang, who was about to recover from her illness, would choose such a way to die?
Wouldn't she hesitate? People who have never died never know how much courage it takes for a person to seek death, especially in such a tragic way.
No one is stupid, and many things may be overlooked, but when someone tears the fig leaf in such a tragic way, the filth underneath can no longer be covered......
Xiao Siniang seemed to be crazy, Han Yunniang's way of death broke all her nerves and persistence, and she complained bitterly on the spot. From the threat she made after returning to Chang'an at the beginning, to the county lord of Chaoxia forcing her to use the technique of disgust to frame Xiao Jiuniang, and failing to frame herself, she was repeatedly taken out of anger......
She thought that Han Yunniang didn't know about this, she thought she was hiding it well, she abandoned her sisterhood and betrayed her treachery, just to let A-Niang be well, but how could Han Yunniang not notice any clues? Maybe she already knew, but she kept hesitating, she was reluctant to let her daughter, reluctant to leave her daughter alone, but she had no ability to resist, she could only smile day by day, watch her daughter get thinner and thinner, and watch her daughter carefully cover up the injuries on her body......
The rabbit will bite when it is urgent, this lonely woman who was □□ by fate finally chose such a way to give her daughter a way to survive......
Xiao Hang's suppressed nerves to the limit also collapsed, and he said on the spot that he would divorce his wife.
The county lord of Chaoxia glared at Xiao Hang in disbelief and screamed, "Xiao Hang, you dare-"
"See if I dare!"
Xiao Hang was furious and ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but no one dared to move, and even Liu Si hesitated not to move.
Liu Si followed Xiao Hang's side, and he was also clear about the shape outside, and now Princess Changping is proud, who dares to touch his brows. According to the thoughts in his heart, he wished that Lang Jun could get rid of this hateful woman, but he really didn't want Lang Jun to do something wrong in a moment of excitement, after all, this was a matter of life.
"Lang Jun—"
"You don't even listen to me anymore, do you?"
"No, Lang Jun......"
"If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"
As soon as Xiao Hang flicked his sleeves, he wanted to find a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write a letter of resignation.
Seeing that Xiao Hang didn't seem to be just talking, Xiao Liuniang was so frightened that she rushed over and hugged his arm, crying and shouting: "Daddy, you don't want to divorce Auntie, you don't want to divorce Auntie." ”
The county lord of Chaoxia turned pale, and his delicate lips kept shaking, but he was forced to calm down and show a disdainful smile, and his fists under his sleeves were clenched, and he didn't realize that he had broken his nails.
Chongyue Pavilion is making such a fuss here, and it has reached the ears of Duchess Anguo, who already has a heart, and after hearing Xiao Hang making a fuss about divorce from his wife, she hurried to Chongyue Pavilion.
When I came in, I saw such a situation, and I couldn't help shouting: "You guys are going to turn the sky upside down!" ”
All the subordinates knelt down, Xiao Liuniang threw away Xiao Hang's sleeves and ran to the Duchess of Anguo.
"Grandma, hurry up and dissuade Daddy, he wants to divorce Grandma!"
"Gorou—"
"Auntie, don't say anything, you must get rid of this poisonous woman today, she is too vicious, are there fewer people who have been killed by her over the years? It doesn't matter if she hurt Yueji and Yun Niang, she even repeatedly attacked the two children, that is my Xiao Hang's woman, my Xiao Hang's blood and blood ......"
“…… Mother, don't stop me, I must divorce her today......"
Xiao Hang's eyes were red, and he couldn't stop crying. There is a way that men don't flick when they have tears, but they don't get to the sad place. Xiao Hang retreated step by step for the sake of his family and his son, but in exchange for this filthy qiē. He has been suppressed for too long, and now that Han Yunniang's death and Xiao Shi Niang's crazy cry have broken his last string, he really can't collapse.
The dignified seven-foot man was forced to burst into tears, his hands trembled, and his speech was confused.
How could the Duchess of Anguo, who witnessed this qiē, not feel distressed? This is her blood and bones, a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and her favorite little son......
But—
"Son, you're going to die as a mother!"
Duchess An Guo gasped sharply and fainted.
The whole scene was suddenly chaotic.
……
The qiē that happened that day in Chongyue Pavilion was unknown to people outside.
Including Xiao Jiuniang, she only heard that there was a big commotion in Chongyue Pavilion that day, and Xiao Hang was going to divorce his wife, but other specific details were not known.
In the end, Xiao Hang still did not divorce his wife.
No one knows what Duchess An Guo said to him, or what happened, all in all, now Xiao Hang and Chaoxia County Lord are strangers, Xiao Shi Niang was also taken by Duchess An Guo to live in An Rong Courtyard, and the meaning of protection is obvious.
The county lord of Chaoxia was silent for many days, and when he appeared in front of people again, he still looked like before, but he lost a lot of weight.
is still domineering and strong, still high, but the whole person is a lot gloomy. Few people dared to look at her, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would be swallowed up by the bottomless black hole. She still goes to Wang's house very diligently, and it seems that her mind is on her niece's wedding.
In the blink of an eye, the time for the prince's wedding came, and Chang'an City was boiling.
This big wedding is unparalleled, Emperor Chengyuan seems to give all the good things to the prince, three days before the wedding, Chang'an City will be tied with dazzling red silk everywhere, whether it is the home of officials or ordinary people, even inns, wine shops, grocery stores, etc., all places must be lit up.
The government issued a big red lantern to every household, and from the day it was issued, it continued day and night, and Chang'an City became a city that never sleeps in the Red Sea for a while.
The above table xiàn attaches so much importance to it, and even if there is more dissatisfaction below, it has to be suppressed. The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the relatives of the emperor, and the princes and nobles all greeted people with smiling faces and went to attend the wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness the Prince.
The daughter of the Wang family is so honored, everyone in the Wang family has a smile on their faces, from the marriage decree, the Wang family has accumulated all the eyes in Chang'an City, and this wedding has pushed all the qi to the highest point.
After the wedding, many people can't react, and they can't tell whether they sigh or regret in their hearts.
*
The next day, in the Zichen Palace.
Emperor Chengyuan deliberately took a day off just to drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea.
Early in the morning, King Zhao, King Cheng, King Qi and a few people arrived, in addition to these three people, there were also King Chu and King Liang, who was only twelve this year, and a few slightly older princesses. The younger princes and princesses had not yet arrived, and even so, there were many people standing in the palace.
King Cheng and King Zhao looked a little depressed, probably because they hadn't slept all night yesterday, but they still had a happy look on their faces, which looked really weird and distorted, King Chu was no different from usual, and he still had a cold and solemn face.
Because this is the Zichen Palace, everyone doesn't dare to show too much thought, and the hall is very quiet.
Not long after, Emperor Chengyuan arrived, and he arrived earlier than the newcomer prince and his wife.
After a salute, Emperor Chengyuan sat down on the first place.
His face was full of joy, but he didn't even give these people below a superfluous look, just whispered something to Ruan Ronghai.
Ruan Ronghai was also happy, no one dared to block Emperor Chengyuan at this stall.
After a while, I heard that an attendant had reported the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and Emperor Chengyuan hurriedly asked the two to come in.
Today's crown prince and the king of Chu are in the same set of equipment, both in wheelchairs, which is somewhat rare in the royal family, but people dare to question it.
The prince was dressed in a regulated uniform, his face was still as pale as before, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The crown princess Wang who was walking on his side was dressed very festively and gorgeously, and she was originally a five-point appearance, which was set off by this gorgeous dress.
As soon as the two entered the hall, many eyes in the hall were invested, and all kinds of eyes had a lot of meaning, and more obscure eyes were focused on Wang. Emperor Chengyuan, who was sitting in the first place, saw this scene, his eyelids drooped in displeasure, and then opened them again.
"The child visits his father."
"The daughter-in-law visits her father."
"Okay, get up."
Emperor Chengyuan's face was happy, and the words of 'get up' were said to the Wang family.
After that, the chamberlain brought the tea tray, and the prince and the Wang family approached to serve tea with Emperor Chengyuan, and after drinking the tea, it was some routine teachings, most of which were said to the Wang family.
It stands to reason that Empress Xiao should also be present today, after all, she is the queen mother and mother-in-law of the prince and his wife. It's a pity that Emperor Chengyuan never gave her face in the matter of the prince, even if she was the queen for many years, he never let the prince call her the queen mother, so today's scene of exercising the rights of her mother and mother-in-law, not only Queen Xiao has not arrived, but Liu Guifei and other concubines are not there.
In Emperor Chengyuan's mind, Empress Xiao and many other harem concubines are not qualified to be the crown prince or even the concubine. The crown princess Wang is stained with the prince's light, and she doesn't need to look at the face of her cheap mother-in-law.
King Zhao is okay, but King Cheng's face is not good, which is undoubtedly an insult to Queen Xiao, but this kind of insult has to be endured if you don't want to. In recent years, Empress Xiao has long been used to it, but it is difficult to calm the resentment in her heart after all.
Without mentioning it, Emperor Chengyuan seemed to have something to say to the prince and his wife, so he let everyone disperse.
Out of the Zichen Palace, these princes and princesses were scattered, and those who should leave the palace should leave the palace, and what should they do.
"Why are you rarely seeing the Fifth Emperor Brother these days, but what are you busy with?" King Cheng asked.
King Chu glanced at the other party and said lightly: "This king has made an old mistake." ”
This old problem naturally refers to the leg disease of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu does not come out of the door, and very few people dare to ask in person. This is to deal with Emperor Chengyuan's statement, and it is not impossible to deal with King Cheng at this time.
King Cheng snorted and made a concerned look, "The fifth emperor brother is not a big deal, the queen mother and the grandfather sent people to collect a lot of prescriptions for treating leg diseases among the people, if the fifth emperor brother needs it, the king of Japan will send it to you." ”
"This king is fine, thank you for your concern."
Dropping these words, the king of Chu left, and held back all the words of King Cheng.
There was a very small sneer behind him.
But it was King Zhao and King Qi who came together.
"The Third Emperor Brother cares so much about the Fifth Emperor Brother, why did he go earlier? This person is still different from person to person after all, you see how good the relationship between this king and the four emperor brothers is. "King Zhao never gave up any opportunity to fight Cheng Wang.
The corners of King Cheng's mouth twitched, he didn't speak, glared at King Zhao, and walked away.
"Today, the mother and son are embarrassed and embarrassed!"
King Zhao sneered and glanced at King Cheng's back.
The meaning of these words is naturally understood by King Qi, and besides, who in the palace does not understand? Whenever this kind of moment is encountered, Empress Xiao's situation will be extremely embarrassing.
Therefore, it is unfortunate and fortunate that Liu Guifei failed to become the queen back then, but who can say for sure.
Although he hit King Cheng and watched a joke about King Cheng and Queen Xiao's mother and son, King Zhao's expression was not very good.
Except for Emperor Chengyuan today, few princes are in a good mood.
Without him, the matter of the crown prince marrying a concubine is a matter of great importance, and it has also added many variables to the current situation, and now everyone's eyes are focused on the East Palace.
For what, it goes without saying.
