Chapter Ninety-Six: Suspicion

Unlike the gentle drizzle between Concubine Zheng and Emperor Zhaoyuan, the tension between the Queen Mother and the Empress is simply tense. The queen didn't even wait for the queen mother to finish speaking, she stood up suddenly, "The daughter-in-law suddenly felt unwell and retired first." Before the queen mother could react, the queen left on her own with a pale face.

Back in Kunning Palace, wave away the others, and leave the grandmother Wu, the queen's tears will fall. What has she been asking for all these years? In the end, he only hoped that his son could ascend to the supreme throne, and now he was going to deprive her of this hope, and she hated it. The queen roared in a low voice, "Mama, this palace is so hateful, why does he treat this palace like this?" Hongu is his wife. ”

Mama Wu also wept, watching her big baby cry like this, her heart was like a knife. Obviously, the queen's status is noble, and she should be the queen, but she can't get her husband's heart. She watched the queen become the crown princess from a teenager, and the crown princess at that time was bright and flamboyant; But decades of court life have turned her into the dignified and restrained queen mother she is now.

Even if she becomes more in line with the identity of the queen and takes care of the harem for the emperor, she still can't get the emperor's heart. Fortunately, Niangniang has thought about it all these years, as long as the emperor gives her the respect and decency she should give. But even such extravagant hopes have been broken today, and the emperor wants to record the king of Han in the name of the queen, isn't this a slap in the face of the queen? The queen mother is not without a biological son, no wonder the mother is so sad.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Mama Wu's eyes, "Niangniang, as long as you don't agree." Can the emperor still force you to fail? ”

The queen laughed miserably, "Mama, the emperor is dictatorial and has been dictatorial for a long time; He cannot hear what is contrary to his ears, and what he decides will not allow anyone to object. Even if I can delay it for a while, I can't change the emperor's mind, so what's the use. He has always liked King Han, I only thought that he looked at King Han differently because of Concubine Zheng Guifei, but I didn't expect him to be able to do this for Concubine Zheng. I'm dead set on him a long time ago. So I don't care what he does to Concubine Zheng. But he shouldn't have taken what my son was supposed to have for that slut. My son is my son-in-law, and according to the etiquette, this prince's position should be my son's. Pity my son who was born as a concubine, but he will be crushed on the head by a concubine. I'm so unwilling. ”

As she spoke, she lay down on the desk and wept bitterly. When it comes to it, I can't help it. She swept the teapot and cups on the table with all the rage. The objects fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Mama Wu watched the shattered porcelain pieces splash at her feet without moving, and the storm in her eyes gradually gathered. said: "Niangniang, since the emperor's decision cannot be changed, but the candidate can still be changed." ”

The queen raised her head with tears on her face, "Can the candidate be changed?" ”

"Yes, the mother is kind and let Zheng Guifei give birth to a child, but Zheng Guifei is not satisfied and wants to seize the throne. This throne should have belonged to the five princes, but the five princes were too young, so the brothers in front of him stood in the way. As long as they are removed, the emperor will only have one son left with the five princes. When the time comes, the five princes will be both the sons-in-law and the only princes, and the emperor will have to make the five princes the crown princes. ”

The queen's eyes flashed, this thing has a certain degree of feasibility. If Emperor Zhaoyuan hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have been moved by such a proposal, but she still had to discuss it with her mother's family. "There is no hurry in advance, I will personally write a letter, and you will go out of the palace in the past two days and deliver it to the Duke in person. Look at what my father says, and then discuss how to go next, I will never let Zheng Guifei's slut's son step on my son's throne. "The father in the queen's mouth is the only one in the dynasty who is from the first grade of the town.

Zhuang Minhua didn't know what was happening in the palace, she got up after a short rest. Zhuang Minhua waited for her to get up by the maids and asked, "Has the prince of the county ever come back?" "She was frightened today, and she was too quiet to accompany her?

"The prince of the county is still discussing matters in the study, and when you sleep, you sent someone over to ask the princess of the county." Qian Hong kept her hands and feet, sorted out Zhuang Minhua's clothes and hairstyle, and said, "The prince of the county is so good to you!" I think of you in this discussion, and I don't worry about you. ”

"Hehe......" Zhuang Minhua chuckled, and when she heard this, she disappeared at the slightest hesitation that Meng Jinghan was not by her side when she woke up. She is not a vexatious person, since Meng Jinghan has a heart, she doesn't have much heart. After thinking about today's events, Zhuang Minhua felt that since the "Sorrowful Breeze" had been taken out and used, such a powerful poisonous gas would not be justified if it was not given to Meng Jinghan. instructed: "Go to the study and have a look, if the prince of the county is free, invite him to come over, and say that I have something to do." ”

She took out the bottle of "Sorrowful Breeze" from her sleeve and was slightly distracted, and Orange asked curiously, "Princess Jun, what is this?" ”

Zhuang Minhua smiled slightly and held the bottle in his hand, "Good things!" "This thing is really easy to use, but it's a pity that it's more expensive, and she can't afford it with her points. Otherwise, if it is used on the battlefield in large quantities, as long as it is opened at the upwind outlet and the antidote is prepared, wouldn't it be possible to clean up the enemy without spending a single soldier.

Meng Jinghan came over quickly, and Zhuang Minhua handed him the "Sorrowful Breeze" and antidote, "This thing is estimated to be this bottle now, save some use!" "There's no need, she doesn't plan to buy it anymore, what other uses are her points! I couldn't help but ask the system, "Did you say that the system was too picky?" I worked hard to get these points. The things in your mall are so expensive, and I can't afford to buy them if it goes on like this. Why don't we negotiate and lower the price of all your items? ”

The system is very arrogant, "The pricing of the system is very reasonable, and it is completely in line with the laws of the stars." I feel that I have fewer points and can do more tasks. ”

Meng Jinghan looked at his wife with deep eyes, Min Min was in a trance, and there were not a few times when he talked like this. Another time he found his wife alone in the house, talking to herself, as if she were talking to someone she couldn't see. Was there anyone nearby at the time? His internal strength is profound, and he can't feel the presence of people around him at all, unless the opponent's martial arts are stronger than him. Looks like Min Min has a secret of her own!

Meng Jinghan's face was not obvious, and he accepted the "sad crisp breeze", and he changed the topic, "Minmin." My father-in-law will return to his post in a few days, do you want to send him off? ”

"Okay!" Zhuang Minhua came to his senses and agreed casually.

Zhuang Minhua didn't know that Meng Jinghan was already suspicious of her, she thought she was already very careful. But Meng Jinghan is the pillow person she gets along with day and night, and she is also extremely keen, and she slowly discovered some flaws.

***

It's sunny outside, and the air that's just been washed away by the rain is exceptionally fresh. The sunlight shining through the window hit her body, dragging a long shadow.

Zhuang Minhua saw that it was a hospital, and she was standing at the window at the end of the hallway. Zhuang Minhua felt that this place was very familiar. She walked back slowly. Along a long hallway, high heels stomped on the floor, making a "click" sound that echoed through the empty hallway.

Zhuang Minhua involuntarily stopped at the door of a room. Gently push the door open. I saw two people sitting and standing inside. The one sitting and wiping away tears was her mother, Fangna. The person standing and sighing was her father Zhuang Wenbai, and both of them looked at the person lying on the bed with painful eyes.

Zhuang Minhua was surprised, and she screamed. "Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" But Fang Na and Zhuang Wenbai ignored her. Zhuang Minhua was a little angry, and wanted to see who was lying on the bed, but it was so important that even her parents didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Zhuang Minhua walked to the bed, looked at it, and was taken aback, isn't this her? To be precise, it was her before the crossing, what was going on?

The memory in Zhuang Minhua's mind suddenly came back, didn't she remember that she had crossed over? What's going on now? She called out to her parents, but Fang Na and Zhuang Wenbai still ignored her.

Zhuang Minhua panicked and shouted. Suddenly, her body floated up, higher and higher, Zhuang Minhua screamed in fright, but no one could hear her voice......

Just when Zhuang Minhua was panicking and helpless, she suddenly heard someone calling her, "Minmin? Minmin, wake up! ”

Zhuang Minhua opened his eyes violently, and what caught his eyes was Meng Jinghan's worried face. Zhuang Minhua sat up and took a breath, only to feel that his face was wet. She looked around, it was still the bedroom in Hanzhang Courtyard, her eyes were fixed on Meng Jinghan, she was dreaming just now?

Meng Jinghan gently wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, "Minmin, you were in a bad mood just now." ”

Zhuang Minhua nodded, took the handkerchief, and wiped the tears and sweat from his face. She felt slimy, "I'm sweating, I'll go to the hot spring pool to take a show." Seeing that Meng Jinghan was about to get up, he hurriedly held him down, "What are you doing when you get up, you are so tired during the day, you don't need to toss, you continue to sleep!" ”

Meng Jinghan didn't listen, lifted the quilt and got up, took a gown from the side of the bed, and waited for Zhuang Minhua to get out of bed and drape it on her body.

Qianhong, who was on night duty outside, heard the movement and put on her clothes and came in. "The prince of the county, the princess of the county, what are your orders?"

Zhuang Minhua saw that she was thinly dressed, but fortunately it was warm in the room, so she wouldn't catch a cold, so she just said, "You give me the lamp in the bathroom, I want to bathe." ”

Qian Hong agreed. Zhuang Minhua persuaded Meng Jinghan to go to the bathroom alone, she just had such a dream, she wanted to be alone and quiet. Zhuang Minhua took off his clothes and sank the whole person to the bottom of the water, half a sound, and it was really out of breath before he surfaced. She wiped a handful of water from her face and asked the system in her mind, "System, is that dream I had just happened in modern times?" ”

"Yes. The system has recovered some vitality. You can spy on some of your things in that time and space.,That image just now is one of them.,Free gift.,Don't thank you too much~"

Yo, yo your sister! The sound of waves in a mechanical voice gave her goosebumps when she heard it. was interrupted by the system like this, but she didn't have the sadness she had just now. I asked some more about the original world, and the system picked up what it could say.

At this moment, "Princess of the County? Qian Hong whispered to her at the door, Zhuang Minhua knew that she had washed for too long, and Qian Hong was worried about her. Coupled with the fact that the hot spring could not be soaked for too long, Zhuang Minhua came out of the hot spring pool, wiped the water on his body, and put on his clothes.

Zhuang Minhua returned to the bed after bathing, Meng Jinghan was lying on the bed reading a book, saw Zhuang Minhua coming, looked over, dark eyes were like two silver water pills, flashing softly in the orange light. He reached out and pulled Zhuang Minhua to the bed and covered her with the quilt.

Zhuang Minhua lay down comfortably, "What book are you reading?" ”

Meng Jinghan showed the book cover to Zhuang Minhua, ""The World Ji Sheng", compiled by Wu Daozhi of the previous dynasty, he traveled to four countries, footprints all over the world, writing the history of the prefecture, the history of the county, the customs and the shape of the victory, the scenery, the scenery, the monuments, the officials, the characters, the immortals, the inscriptions, the poems, the four six and so on twelve gates, the words are chiseled. Even if I travel back and forth between the capital and Yaozhou, I think I have a broad view, but I am not as good as this Mr. Wu. "Yaozhou is a state close to the Northern Barbarians.

Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand and flipped through it, picked a few and looked at it, and thought it was very interesting, so he couldn't help asking, "Can you finish reading it too quietly?"

Meng Jinghan didn't understand what she meant, "If you like it, just stay." It's easy to get this book, I'm going to buy another one. ”

"Then thank you for being too quiet." Zhuang Minhua smiled. Receive the book under your pillow. Then you took out the pocket watch from under the pillow and looked at it, "It's twelve o'clock, go to sleep!" ”

Meng Jinghan grabbed her, "Minmin." Why don't you tell me about your dream? ”

Zhuang Minhua's body stiffened. How could she tell Meng Jinghan about her parents in her previous life when she dreamed about it! Let Meng Jinghan know that the wife next to him is occupying someone else's body at all. What would he think?

"What's wrong?" Meng Jing's cold and warm breath blew on her ears, and Zhuang Minhua felt that her ears were itchy and smiled. "I don't remember dreaming about anything anymore." ”

Meng Jinghan looked at her steadily, seeing that her eyelashes were drooping, her long eyelashes trembled uneasily, and her little face was nervous, but she didn't know her own situation, thinking that she was very calm. Meng Jinghan's heart softened, he reached out to help her tuck the quilt, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her vest, "Sleep!" ”

Zhuang Minhua put his ear to Meng Jinghan's chest, counted his heartbeat and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Meng Jinghan braved the heavy snow to go to the court, and Zhuang Minhua got up to greet Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong looked at Zhuang Minhua's slender waist and wondered if her little grandson was inside. The mood suddenly improved, beckoned Zhuang Minhua to sit down, and asked her if she slept well last night.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped for a while, asked the maid to set up breakfast, and used it together.

After the meal, Concubine Rong said to Zhuang Minhua: "Since you have married in, I will slowly hand over the affairs of this family to you." ”

Zhuang Minhua hurriedly shirked it, "How does this make me unrecognizable when I first arrived!" You've got to take care of this one. ”

Concubine Rong smiled: "I have only recently gotten better, I was not in good health a few years ago, and Ah Gui has always helped take care of it, I just nodded and responded." Although I am getting better now, the doctor still wants me not to bother too much and take care of it. Since you are already the mistress of the county king's mansion, the housekeeper's business will fall to you. ”

Zhuang Minhua couldn't shirk it, so he had to respond. Concubine Rong said again: "I want you to take care of things at home, the population of Rongjun Wangfu is small, and there are not many things, so it won't take much effort on you." If there is something you don't understand, I'll let Ah Gui help you, and you can just watch and deal with it. He said to Mama Shang again: "Ah Gui, I will hand over the housekeeping matter to the princess of the county in the future, you can help more, don't let those who rely on the old and sell the old ignore the princess of the county." Mama Shang responded with a smile.

Zhuang Minhua also responded, and Concubine Rong handed over the account book and the key to the treasury to Zhuang Minhua on the spot.

Zhuang Minhua asked Qianhong to collect the account book and key, and Concubine Rong sent her away, "I haven't read all the scriptures!" I don't want you to serve. ”

Zhuang Minhua remembered that a few days ago, he said that he would accompany Concubine Rong to recite the scriptures! It's good that she didn't meet a few days ago, but this time, she can't take it seriously. "The daughter-in-law is about to ask her mother for instructions, and wants to arrange a Buddhist hall in Hanzhang Courtyard, and then ask her mother to help invite a Bodhisattva. Before you do it, why don't you let your daughter-in-law accompany you to recite the scriptures for your husband? ”

Concubine Rong thought about it and felt that it was her daughter-in-law's intention, so she agreed. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished reciting a sutra in the Buddhist hall, Concubine Rong saw it in her eyes and was satisfied. When Meng Jinghan came back from the court to ask for peace, he told him about the matter, and praised his daughter-in-law for being patient and steady.

Meng Jinghan was surprised when he heard this, even he didn't expect Zhuang Minhua to sit still like this. Meng Jinghan chuckled, his daughter-in-law had so many secrets, and he didn't care about it.

returned to the room and told her about Concubine Rong's praise of Zhuang Minhua. Zhuang Minhua said with a smile: "What's this, pray for your husband, if you can't sit still, wouldn't you be a vain wife?"

Meng Jinghan said: "I know your intentions, but I don't advocate you to recite scriptures and pray for blessings. If the Buddha is really so effective, why is there so much suffering in the world? Besides, for a person like me, who is full of slaughter, the Buddha is afraid that he will not favor me. ”

He remembers one time when he cut down a Northern Barbarian soldier under a horse on the battlefield, and the soldier yelled on his deathbed, "You will go to hell when you die, and the Buddha will not take in a villain like you." At that moment, he was at a loss, and he was almost slashed. When he woke up, he put it behind him, but occasionally he remembered it in the dead of night. He would scoff, and he would dare to speak to people, but he couldn't help but agree with that sentence.

Zhuang Minhua twisted his eyebrows, how could Meng Jinghan have such an idea? "What nonsense? You are only killing to protect your family and country, and you are not killing for selfish desires, so the Buddha should bless people like you. ”

Zhuang Minhua played with his fingers and said, "Besides, if the Buddha doesn't bless you, I can protect you!" The rest is just a matter of peace of mind. ”

Meng Jinghan couldn't cry or laugh, how could a woman protect a man. But after thinking about it carefully, what Zhuang Minhua took out for him didn't give him protection and protect him in disguise! Meng Jinghan felt that his heart was about to be turned into a puddle of water by Zhuang Minhua's words. (To be continued......)
