Chapter 175: Politely rejecting the crown prince
Minutes and seconds passed. But there was not the slightest movement. Leave only the sound of the wind.
Liu Chengxi thought that he was next to the second lady. And the second master also stood by the side of Changrong Marquis with a sword. It's time to come. But it didn't come.
"Hmph. Seemingly. It's just abandoned by General Weiyuan's mansion."
He stood up and looked at the lifeless woman on the ground. I didn't speak for a long time. No one knew what was going on in his mind. Just know. Hou Ye must be uncomfortable. His own daughter was going to poison him.
"Son of a. Son of a scumbag." The old lady frowned tightly. Then. Haruka had already come in from outside with a few guards.
A qiē seems to be all arranged. The guards wrapped Liu Yunhua's body with a roll of straw mats. Marquis Changrong gave them a cold look. Handle it cleanly."
The concubine of the Marquis of Changrong was actually poisoned. There will definitely be a lot of gossip when it gets out. However. They also can't let others know the truth of the matter. Otherwise, it is very likely to be taken advantage of by someone with a heart.
Look at the mat that was carried out. The fourth aunt was already too frightened to speak. She kind of heard it. It turns out that Liu Yunqing's strange appearance over this period of time is because of the second lady. She moved to Yun Shu's side. Lord of Yongji County. Please, you must save Miss Five."
Don't want to. In front of him, the solemn face of Changrong Hou appeared.
The fourth aunt was shocked. Immediately understand where Hou Ye's anger comes from." Marquis. Hou Ye...... Miss Five was also taken advantage of. Fifth Miss has been wronged."
She shook Liu Yunqing on the side vigorously. The woman sat stunned. It's fine. It can be seen that what Yun Shu said is true. Liu Yunqing was only used by Liu Yunhua as a puppet. She didn't even take the antidote beforehand. It can be seen that she is already an outcast.
However. This was not enough to extinguish the anger in the heart of Marquis Changrong. Yun Shu knows. Changrong Hou must have nowhere to vent at this moment. And in his eyes. Liu Yunqing and Liu Yunhua are in the same group.
Reason and anger are in conflict. Everyone clearly saw that his green hands were trembling violently. It seems that he may punch out at any time and knock Liu Yunqing away.
The fifth aunt stood up in time." County Lord. Why are these five young ladies so weird?"
"Sister Chang gave her medicine. Let her become a puppet who can't speak. Only obey my sister's orders."
Yun Shu glanced at the fourth aunt with a little sympathy. The other party's eyes were full of pleading. I hope Yun Shu can intercede for Liu Yunqing in front of Hou Ye.
"Ridiculous. Ridiculous." The old lady's voice startled the fourth aunt's heart. Now she doesn't care if she can cure Liu Yunqing. As long as one of her lives can be spared. The fourth aunt felt content.
The old lady slowly stood up. He glanced at Liu Yunqing with disgust. Come people. Take her down."
The fourth aunt breathed a sigh of relief. So to speak. Yunqing's life was saved...... But she was very sorrowful. How should Yunqing's days be spent in the future?
this night. No one slept in the Hou Mansion.
The second lady is in Yun Shu's house. Talking to her about it. And the second master stayed in the study of Marquis Changrong. The two discuss countermeasures about tonight's events.
"Presumably, the second young lady must have colluded with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Once that happens, signal them to come in. Now. I'm afraid that the old lady Weiyuan will know that the matter is exposed. The two families later met in the court. I'm really worried that Master Hou will be impulsive...... "The second lady is also a shrewd person.
Yun Shu nodded slightly. But. My father had very few chances to meet Mrs. Weiyuan. And this matter. General Weiyuan doesn't necessarily know."
What she meant was that this qiē could only be known to the old lady of Weiyuan. In order to avenge the Lei clan.
Of course. This old lady Weiyuan's methods are really vicious. actually asked the entire Changrong Marquis Mansion to give the Lei family a funeral. And if she really succeeds. The world only knows that the Marquis of Changrong's mansion was washed in the blood of the enemy. No one would suspect going to General Weiyuan's mansion.
Yun Shu knows. In the future. Old Lady Wei Yuan will definitely not give up. She's an enemy she should keep an eye on.
"The second young lady...... What is the old lady going to do?" The second lady means. In the future, others will inevitably find that the second lady of the Marquis Changrong Mansion is missing. How to explain it to outsiders.
"Grandmother meant. First spread the news that my sister was infected with a strange disease. And then it was hastily done." Meaning. Not even a simple funeral. Since he died of a strange disease. Then the Hou Mansion will naturally deal with it in an extremely low-key manner. It will not bring fear to the people.
Anyone will guess what the hell is going on. There will be no possibility of contagion. So others must avoid it. No more will be pursued.
The second lady took a deep breath. Looking at Yun Shu's calm appearance. It's not easy. Miss Six can still hold her breath knowing such a big thing. Truly. Such vicious people can no longer be given a chance to turn over.
She reached out and gently grabbed the back of Yun Shu's hand. With a bit of distress and understanding in his eyes.
……
Too ** in.
"You mean. Yesterday there was something strange in the Changrong Marquis's Mansion."
"Yes. Your Highness. It seems that the guards in the house have been taken away. When the subordinates went to inspect it. I met another group of people. They seem to have a purpose. has been wandering outside the Changrong Marquis' Mansion. I didn't leave until the second half of the night."
So it sounds. It seems to be waiting for some moment. A burst of worry rose in Dongfang Xu's heart. I picked up the brush and wrote a letter. In the hands of the guard.
Night.
Above the attic by the river. Dongfang Xu looked at the sparkling river. Look at the street from time to time. But I don't see that familiar figure.
Miss Six is the most punctual. If after a while she doesn't come. It shows what really happened in the Changrong Marquis Mansion. Think back to the morning of this morning. The cold and gloomy breath of Changrong Marquis. Dongfang Xu couldn't hold back the speculation in his heart.
"Childe. Please inside."
At this time, the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door. Dongfang Xu immediately stood up. Until that familiar face appeared in front of me. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The boulder in my heart is down. That expression made Yun Shu raise her eyebrows slightly. Why did he have that expression.
From time to time, there was a lively commotion from under the attic. See that she is unharmed. Dongfang Xu's mood is much better." Miss Six. Yesterday, something happened to the Marquis of Changrong's mansion."
Yun Shu was not surprised at all that the prince was so well-informed. She just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of it. It's a bit of a thing. It's been solved though."
Hear her say so. Dongfang Xu felt more and more that things were not simple. Because everything Yun Shu doesn't want to mention. It must be a very strict thing.
"Yesterday. The secret guards I sent found a group of suspicious characters outside the Changrong Marquis' Mansion. They lingered outside the house until the second half of the night before leaving."
Yun Shu listened. Immediately know that those are the people of General Weiyuan's mansion.
Then. If these people can't bear it, they rush into the house. It must be an inevitable fight with the Marquis of Changrong who was waiting at that time. And today. The Marquis of Changrong will not hold back his breath. Instead, he directly reported what General Weiyuan's Mansion had done to the emperor.
Yun Shu knew that if she didn't say it. Naturally, the prince would have found out what had happened that night.
Dongfang Xu's face changed greatly. There is such a thing."
Liu Yunhua's appearance couldn't help but appear in his mind. Such a woman. I didn't expect to do such a rebellious thing. I didn't expect Yun Shu to spend such a dangerous day. Dongfang Xu suddenly blamed himself. Tell yourself clearly. To protect the woman from putting her in danger again. Why every time. Danger always finds her.
It's hard to imagine if Liu Yunhua succeeds. So I will never see this person in front of me again.
"Miss Six rest assured. This matter. I'll be sure to find out for you." If there is conclusive evidence. So whoever it is. Even if it is the Weiyuan General's Mansion with outstanding military achievements. He's sure to let his father do it.
"No. Your Highness don't have to bother. This matter is over for now."
Looking at the other party's polite expression. Dongfang Xu sighed in his heart. The moonlight fell on the cold and elegant faces of the other party. Somehow. Dongfang Xu's heart rippled in circles. Her strength is always so pitiful. The devil sends the gods between them. He oozed out of his own hands.
Yun Shu only felt a warm feeling on the back of her hand. She looked back in confusion. I saw Dongfang Xu's slender five fingers on the back of his hand.
Raised his eyes in surprise. Just in front of the tender and infinite eyes.
"......" Yun Shu was shocked. Immediately, a hint of bad premonition emerged.
"Yun Shu. From now on. Let me protect you. It's good."
The feelings that have been hidden in my heart for a long time overflow in the comfortable moonlight at this moment. It's out of control. Dongfang Xu only knows. I'm almost going to lose her again. This feeling of unrest made him feel as if he was in an ethereal current. What I want keeps flowing between my fingers.
He's always looking for an opportunity to show her his heart in person. And recently. He felt like he couldn't wait any longer.
Time seems to freeze at this moment. Yun Shu's eyes changed slightly. At last. Slowly retracting his hand from under his fingers.
She just sat across from her. There is no excessive expression on the face.
Dongfang Xu was a little flustered in his heart. Could it be that I am abrupt? He couldn't help but smile wryly. I don't know when it started. Close your eyes and you'll see your voice and smile. When the Queen Mother asked me to choose one of the women she had chosen. Then I thought of you. YUN Shu. You're the most special woman I've ever met. And the only woman who gave me a taste of longing. Before you travel to Gangnam. I already regret it. Since then I have sued myself. I will do everything I can to protect you."
He lowered his eyes slightly. Then he took a deep breath. It seems to have made up my mind." On the day of the election of the concubine. I decided to ask my father for a decree. I will give you marriage to me; Grant you the position of crown princess."
The words are clear. Full of deep affection. However. Yun Shu slowly stood up. There was a faint light in her eyes.
I see him as an ally. I actually forgot that the other party was also a man. Yun Shu began to reflect on whether she had done something unsafe. How could he have such a thought?
"I'm sorry. Your Highness. Yun Shu didn't mean that."
“…… Yun Shu."
"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of Chenguo. The choice of the crown princess cannot be decided by one person's preference alone. The crown princess of the kingdom of Chen. Must have a strong background enough to assist the crown prince. Kuang's Road to Prosperity. And Yun Shu. It will only be an ally next to His Highness. Yun Shu has things that must be done. And His Highness also has responsibilities that cannot be shirked. Please also take care of your Highness. Looking for a woman who is truly suitable for Your Highness."
