153. Chapter 151
Cheng Muan has been lying in the house for a few days, the injury behind him has scabbed, he has good physical fitness, a thick foundation, and will soon be able to walk on the ground.
Liu Kuo knew Cheng Mu'an too well, and when he was able to move around on his own, a word of mouth recruited him to the palace again, and he went for several days.
Cheng Muan was placed under house arrest.
Wen Xiaomiao stayed in the mansion and was uneasy, not knowing what punishment Cheng Muan would receive if he annoyed the emperor again.
Chen Mu went to Gu's mansion at least once a day to inquire about Cheng Mu'an's news.
Now even Gu Haojun can't see Cheng Mu'an.
Wen Xiaomiao was anxious, but she was helpless.
After another two days, a news spread quickly in the capital, ten days later, the royal wedding, Princess Taishun married Cheng Mu'an, the country's tax reduction and exemption this year, the news came out, the whole country celebrated.
Wen Xiaomiao also heard about it, she didn't know what the reason was, Cheng Muan broke the promise between the two, but she believed that he must have unbearable hardships, and she didn't resent him if she married Princess Taishun.
But Wen Xiaomiao still felt very painful, Cheng Mu'an had been in the palace for these days, she had secretly looked for Lang Zhong by herself, and she was sure that she was pregnant, and she didn't tell anyone.
Wen Xiaomiao is very conflicted, Cheng Muan has suffered so much before, and now she has a good future, if she has nothing because of her, she will feel very guilty.
If she is not pregnant, she can consider taking the initiative to leave Cheng Mu'an and go to a place where no one can find her, so that Cheng Mu'an will die for her, and she doesn't need to feel guilty and uneasy about her all day long because she married Princess Taishun, no longer in a dilemma, Cheng Muan can still be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.
But now that she is pregnant, she is really reluctant to Cheng Mu'an.
Wen Xiaomiao didn't know what to do.
Chen Mu has been accompanying Wen Xiaomiao, afraid that she will do something stupid.
There was only one day left before the wedding, and Wen Xiaomiao had locked herself in the house for a whole day and didn't go out.
Chen Mu took the dinner and knocked on Wen Xiaomiao's door.
"Come in." Wen Xiaomiao's low voice came from the room.
Chen Mu opened the door and walked in, putting the dinner tray on the table.
"Xiao Miao, let's eat something." Chen Mu said.
Wen Xiaomiao sat still and didn't move.
"I know you're sad, but eldest brother can't help it, disobeying the holy decree is a capital crime." Chen Mu said.
"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat." Wen Xiaomiao sat on the bed, clasped her knees with her hands, and looked ahead with empty eyes.
"Xiao Miao, it's an unchangeable fact that the eldest brother marries the princess, you just want to open it." Chen Mu walked to Wen Xiaomiao's side.
"The eldest brother can't refuse this marriage, Lord Gu said that the emperor must be bound to win this matter, the eldest brother has a very high prestige in the army, and was appointed by the emperor as a land governor, you think that if the eldest brother refuses to marry, the emperor must not worry, he has just ascended the throne, marriage is the best way, the eldest brother can be contained, and the soldiers in the army can also be more heartfelt to the emperor." Chen Mu and Wen Xiaomiao analyzed the current situation.
"It just so happens that the eldest brother hasn't married you yet, and the emperor must let the princess marry before you, so as not to damage the face of the royal family, so he is in such a hurry to get married." Chen Mu said.
Wen Xiaomiao still didn't say a word.
"I think that even if the eldest brother automatically dismisses him as the land commander, the emperor may not be willing to agree, after all, General Cheng still has a great influence." Chen Mu sat opposite Wen Xiaomiao.
"Xiao Miao, do you want to live your life in the future?" Chen Mu moved a little closer to Wen Xiaomiao.
Wen Xiaomiao looked at Chen Mu, her eyes were red.
"Xiao Miao, marry me." Chen Mu held Wen Xiaomiao's shoulders.
"Huh?" Wen Xiaomiao was stunned.
"Even if you can marry the eldest brother, Princess Taishun will definitely not tolerate you, marry me, I will not be worse than the eldest brother, I will be better than the eldest brother to you, believe me, Xiaomiao, I really like you, marry me and you will be happy." Chen Mu said with some emotion.
Wen Xiaomiao stepped back and wanted to leave Chen Mu's hands, "Chen Mu, I won't marry you." ”
"Why? There's no more between you and your eldest brother, so give me another chance, okay? Chen Mu said and hugged Wen Xiaomiao in his arms.
Wen Xiaomiao broke free even more, she wanted to leave Chen Mu's arms, but both of them fell on the bed because of the struggle.
Chen Mu pressed Wen Xiaomiao under him, imprisoned her hands on her head, and gently stroked Wen Xiaomiao's face with the other hand, Wen Xiaomiao shook her face vigorously and didn't want him to touch it.
Wen Xiaomiao's delicate face was in front of his eyes, and his delicate body was under him, Chen Mu suddenly had the idea of cooking raw rice into mature rice.
He reached out to untie Wen Xiaomiao's clothes like a ghost, and Wen Xiaomiao cried and shouted, "Don't." ”
Chen Mu seemed to ignore it, and lowered his head to kiss Wen Xiaomiao.
"Chen Mu, don't let me hate you." Wen Xiaomiao's tears had already wet the mattress.
Chen Mu had already untied Wen Xiaomiao's skirt.
"Don't, Chen Mu, I already have Brother An's child." Wen Xiaomiao finally collapsed.
Chen Mu raised his head in surprise, looked at Wen Xiaomiao, and was stunned.
Wen Xiaomiao pushed Chen Mu away from her body, shrunk herself to the corner of the bed, covered her messy clothes with the quilt, grabbed her clothes tightly with both hands, and cried.
Chen Mu wanted to get close to Wen Xiaomiao again.
Wen Xiaomiao was so frightened that she wanted to jump off the bed.
Chen Mu didn't dare to move.
"Are you pregnant? Big brother's? Chen Mu was obviously still in shock.
Wen Xiaomiao didn't want to deal with Chen Mu.
"Aren't you and your eldest brother not married yet? And don't you sleep in different rooms all the time? Chen Mu also felt that he was too abrupt at this time, and he was a little embarrassed to take the initiative to stay away from Wen Xiaomiao.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Miao, I was wrong, don't cry, I won't do that to you." Chen Mu looked at Wen Xiaomiao, who was trembling, and felt remorseful in his heart.
"Does Big Brother know?" Chen Mu asked.
"I don't know." Wen Xiaomiao finally responded to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu stood beside the bed, thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Miao, you have to marry me, and for the sake of the child, you must do the same." ”
Wen Xiaomiao looked at Chen Mu hatefully, "No." ”
"Princess Taishun can't even tolerate your people, will she tolerate you and her eldest brother's children? If you want your child to be born smoothly and have a good life in the future, you must pretend to marry me first, and you can't let her know, and when everything is stable and there is a good solution to the problem, it is not too late to tell the eldest brother. Chen Mu said.
Wen Xiaomiao frowned, sobbed and thought about it, Chen Mu was reasonable, she was now two months pregnant, the future is unpredictable, it is important to keep her and Brother An's child now, as long as Brother An has her in his heart.
"But I didn't really marry you." Wen Xiaomiao waited for her red eyes to look at Chen Mu and stated in advance.
"Yes, but for the sake of the child's safety, even my mother can't tell me about this." Chen Mu said.
Wen Xiaomiao nodded.
In the palace, Liu Kuo sat in the main hall, looked at Cheng Mu'an kneeling below, and said, "Mu'an, you should also go to rest early, tomorrow's wedding will be very tiring." ”
"I hope the emperor will keep your promise." Cheng Mu'an said lightly, his appearance is a little thinner than before entering the palace, and his spirit is acceptable.
"Don't worry, I've already told Sister Yu, as long as you marry her, Wen Xiaomiao can marry her at any time." Liu Kuo said.
"The minister retired." Cheng Mu'an got up and exited the hall.
Cheng Mu'an returned to his residence, sat quietly on the chair, and after a while, took out a sachet from his arms, the one embroidered by Wen Xiaomiao was safe and rich, Cheng Mu'an put it to his mouth and rubbed it gently, I don't know what his Miao Miao will do when he hears the news that he is going to marry Princess Taishun, will he hate him? Heartbroken?
He can't help it, he is now being targeted too closely by Liu Kuo.
He can fight his way out of the palace, but the future will be very sad, and it will affect Mrs. Chen and Chen Mu.
That was the last resort.
Liu Kuo asked him to marry Princess Taishun, he simply planned it, the wedding day was the most chaotic time, he could wait until the wedding day to find a chance to escape, and then take Wen Xiaomiao to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, no one should try to find them again.
He couldn't be too positive, so he talked to Liu Kuo about the conditions, that is, to marry Wen Xiaomiao immediately after the big wedding to reduce Liu Kuo's suspicion of him.
He believed that Princess Taishun would not agree, and he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be a big fuss, but there would definitely be a small fight, which could be regarded as distracting Liu Kuo and increasing his chances of escape.
Where is Princess Taishun willing to let Cheng Muan marry Wen Xiaomiao, let alone marry immediately after the wedding, no matter when it is, she can't let Wen Xiaomiao enter the door.
But Liu Kuo told her with a dark face that Wen Xiaomiao had to get the door of Cheng's house, and there was no room for negotiation, he had already helped her achieve her wish and marry Cheng Muan as his wife, so Wen Xiaomiao's entry into the door was an attached condition.
When Princess Taishun saw that her brother didn't give face, she ran to the Queen Mother and complained to the Queen Mother that Liu Kuo didn't feel sorry for her only sister, and finally made the Queen Mother cry so much that she couldn't do anything, so she asked Princess Taishun what she wanted to do.
Princess Taishun begged the Queen Mother for help to help her get rid of Wen Xiaomiao and never suffer in the future.
The queen mother told Princess Taishun that it was okay to send someone, but if the emperor investigated it in the future, the crime would be big, and she couldn't afford it.
Princess Taishun pouted, she didn't believe it, she was a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, she couldn't compare to a cheap and rude girl, even if the emperor's brother knew, at most he would scold her, anyway, everyone was dead, and he wouldn't really let her die.
There are many people who die quietly in the palace, and the women in the harem can find a reason to give death if they want to give death if they see which maid or eunuch is not pleasing to the eye, so the emperor's brother will not care about this.
In the end, the Queen Mother couldn't help Princess Taishun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, stalking, and agreed half-pushed, but there is one point, if something happens and is discovered by the emperor, Princess Taishun has to carry it herself, she doesn't have the ability to protect herself.
The queen mother herself is not the emperor's mother, and now she has changed from the queen to the queen mother, and her power has been greatly weakened.
Princess Taishun assured the Queen Mother that she would bear the responsibility of the accident, and she would not believe in this Wen Xiaomiao.
