Chapter 67: Haunted
It doesn't matter if Zhao Duoze is not in the palace, he doesn't have to face the nurse in person...... No matter how unbearable things were back then, or everything was just a misunderstanding on her part, Zhao Duoze didn't have to face it personally.
After all, in Zhao Duoze's heart, the nurse who has depended on him since childhood has a very high status.
Jiang Luyao didn't want Zhao Duoze to experience all this personally, and being betrayed by his nurse hurt him especially hard.
She hopes that her father Jiang Erye can watch him, don't let him do irreparable mistakes on impulse, the situation is still on their side at the moment, once Zhao Duoze is impulsive, the advantage will become invisible in an instant.
After Jiang Luyao left, the eldest aunt also lost the mind to talk to Zhao Duoyi, she felt a faint pain in her heart, whether it was Zhao Duoyi or Zhao Duoze, the Yang family couldn't stand the two brothers, and the grievances of the previous life should not be borne by them.
After Zhao Duoyi sent his eldest aunt away, he stood alone in the courtyard for a long time, and he could always feel that Jiang Luyao seemed to be pointing something, he seemed to be in a fog, and at the same time there was a faint envy, envy that his brother could have Jiang Luyao as his wife, and envy Jiang Luyao's maintenance of his brother.
"Second Young Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked you to go."
"Hmm."
Zhao Duoyi heard that Princess Qin was looking for him, so he hurriedly hid his thoughts and stepped to find Princess Qin.
After entering the door, seeing Princess Qin sitting on the kang silently, several younger brothers gathered around her and tried their best to curry favor, wanting to make Princess Qin happy, Zhao Duoyi asked, "What's wrong with the concubine?" ”
"Second brother, I haven't laughed since I came back from beating my mother." There was a hint of displeasure between the third brother's eyebrows, "On the first princess's sacrifice day, the mother concubine didn't do enough?" His father only guarded the former princess in the ancestral hall, and he didn't care about his mother's thoughts at all. ”
"No nonsense."
Princess Qin reluctantly showed a smile and beckoned Zhao Duoyi to sit down, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, Yi'er, I know that I am a step-concubine, and I never thought of comparing myself with Sister Yang." ”
"Father has mother in his heart." Zhao Duoyi got closer to the princess of Qin, who raised him, and explained to King Qin in a low voice, "Because of the love of the Yang family, my father has to value Concubine Yang so much. ”
"You also have a lot of connections with the Yang family, I understand."
Princess Qin patted Zhao Duoyi's arm and said with relief: "I'm not sad for your father's love for Concubine Yang, I have you and them, I am very content, you and them are my future dependence." We're worried...... I'm worried that the Yang family will let you ...... me because they misunderstood me Yi'er, I treat you as a son like them, and I don't want to see you separated from me. ”
"The Yang family is the Yang family, and you are you."
Zhao Duoyi smiled sincerely: "You are different from the Yang family, I only have respect for the Yang family, follow the master's orders to take care of the Yang family, I will be very filial to you, you are my mother." The Yang family will always understand that the father cannot only guard his wife who died early forever. ”
"That's good." Princess Qin showed a happy smile, "Yi'er, I'm really afraid that you have listened to the words of the Yang family, I also admire the Yang family, it is not that you have to stay away from the Yang family, if it is good for you to be close to the Yang family, I would rather you go to the Yang family, as a mother, everything can be sacrificed for the children." ”
Zhao Duoyi's heart was warm, and he whispered: "Mother, I am not an ungrateful person, I will always remember your kindness to me." ”
"Okay."
"Really, as soon as the second brother came, my mother was as happy as something. If we knew that this was the case, we wouldn't be entertaining in front of you, wouldn't we just just find the second brother? ”
Princess Qin's youngest son, the fifth young master of King Qin's youngest son, has a lively temperament, and because he is the youngest, he is quite doted on by Princess Qin and King Qin, and pouted: "If you are angry again in the future, I will call the second brother." ”
"Little Five......
"Second brother, help."
The fifth young master ran behind Zhao Duoyi, poked out his little head to look at Princess Qin, who warned him, and stuck out his tongue: "You're so stingy, I just told a few words of the truth." ”
Zhao Duoyi smiled and dragged out Xiao Wu from behind him, others were amused by the funny Xiao Wu, there is a mother and a princess, and there are younger brothers who respect and rely on themselves, Zhao Duoyi is very satisfied, he cherishes this rare family affection, and vows to help his younger brothers get ahead, filial piety to the mother concubine, if the younger brothers are angry, the mother concubine will like him more and will live better.
In the future, it will not replace Concubine Yang's position in her father's heart.
The title of concubine Qin princess cannot be obtained, but once the king of Qin returns, she can be buried with the princess of Qin...... But when the time comes, Zhao Duoze will be furious again.
"Second brother, in a few days, the emperor will patrol the enclosure?"
"Yes."
Zhao Duoyi did not hide his younger brothers, and advised: "Don't spread this matter, Your Majesty is only afraid that the purpose of this tour is to test the prince, the emperor is always not at ease with the prince, the paddock will not be peaceful, you have to be more careful, if there is nothing to do, try not to go out alone." ”
"The second brother has to be in charge of the barracks as the emperor's guard?"
"There's this in mind." Zhao Duoyi mentioned the matter in the barracks, and became more and more calm and calm, "As for whether to escort the nearest car, you still need the emperor's will." ”
"Oh, if the emperor patrols the paddock, we will follow the second brother."
"If I don't have anything to do, I can naturally teach you swordsmanship, riding and archery."
"You ......," Princess Qin warned, "You are not allowed to delay Yi'er's business, he has the imperial order on his body, how can he always mess around like you?" ”
"Zhilu Dao, mother, don't we want to get close to the second brother and learn from the second brother?"
"Yi'er." Princess Qin ignored her sons, turned her head to Zhao Duoyi and said, "Follow the emperor, Yi'er must not be distracted, don't delay major events for them." ”
She completely thought about Zhao Duoyi, which made Zhao Duoyi even more moved, and nodded: "It's okay, my son is measured." ”
Princess Qin asked her sons to go to the study with Zhao Duoyi to discuss the art of war, and she was alone with a cushion to close her eyes and recuperate, even if the prince was worried about Concubine Yang on the surface? Zhao Duoyi was in his hand and let himself rub it...... Concubine Yang would be very sad and angry when she thought about it.
Today, not only Jiang Luyao saw the emotions leaked from her eldest aunt, but Princess Qin also saw it clearly.
She didn't have Jiang Luyao's scruples, and she had experienced the strangeness of King Qin's body, so naturally she was more convinced of the change of children than Jiang Luyao.
Back then, if she hadn't helped King Qin regulate her body, it would have been inconvenient for Concubine Yang to use too fierce secret medicine, and she would not have been able to give birth to three sons with King Qin.
Princess Qin's mother's family has an aunt who is a monk who is a master of medical skills, and she has been willing to get close to this aunt since she was a child, so she naturally learned a lot of good recipes.
At the beginning, Concubine Yang didn't want to solve the troubles, King Qin was useless and a man, and she was also a little jealous of the Yang family, Concubine Yang had to be busy protecting the Yang family, and she had to arrange everything for her own son, even if she caught the opportunity to take the drug, she didn't dare to do it too obviously.
Concubine Yang never imagined that she would meet an opponent like Princess Qin.
never expected that Princess Qin could guess the truth of the matter by clues.
"Master, do you need a slave to put the news?"
"No need, it won't look good until the prince comes back, and now that the prince is not here, who will you listen to?" Princess Qin stroked the beads on her wrist one by one, and said with a light smile: "Sister Yang can sacrifice everything for her own son, why can't I?" They are all mothers, and they are not as noble as her, and I am despicable. ”
King Qin's title and everything in the palace, how can Princess Qin tolerate being sidelined? And it fell into the hands of a villain.
"Have you inquired clearly, it was really the emperor who let the prince go out?"
"The prince left in a hurry, and all the subordinates who took him away were the subordinates of the prince, and the slaves and maids really couldn't inquire."
"I don't even know which direction he's going?"
"I don't know, the people who followed the prince were lost."
Princess Qin's maiden family, the Kong family, has limited support for her, after all, it is a family of civil officials and nobles, and she is naturally not weaker than anyone when she plays Wendou, but to cultivate a tracking master, the Kong family is not a little weak.
The Confucian family of the Ming Dynasty has woven a dense network of relationships through marriage, and each of the daughters married by the Confucian family is an integral part of this relationship network.
Although Princess Qin is the princess of the first family, she has never shown enough value that the Kong family attaches importance to, and the Kong family doesn't know that she has to plan, they just think that she is a step-concubine, so the Kong family doesn't attach importance to her, and Princess Qin doesn't trust her mother's family, her thoughts, her plans, and the secrets she discovered, she has never told her mother's family, even in front of her biological mother, she has hidden it.
Seeing her mother pleading guilty, Princess Qin said: "It's okay, I don't believe that the prince with the blood of the Yang family will be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, maybe he will also have a false holy decree." ”
"Even if the prince pretends to pass on the holy decree, he only needs to say a few words in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will naturally help him." The mother who was accompanying her said unevenly: "The Queen Mother just likes the prince." ”
"Who made him look like an old prince? There's no way around it. ”
Princess Qin is helpless about this, the sons she gave birth to are all like her parents, although there is no Zhao Duoyi who resembles King Qin, but it can also be seen that it is the son of her and King Qin, only Zhao Duoze...... looks exactly like her grandfather, the queen mother already feels guilty and cherishes her youngest son, and loves Zhao Duoze more and more.
"Where there are advantages and disadvantages, the more the queen mother likes him, the more awkward the emperor is, and the rest of the emperor's grandson is not used to him, the emperor is a filial son, but the emperor said that the Yang family moved, and the old prince also died violently...... Even if the Queen Mother is the mother of Her Majesty, what about it? Isn't it just that you can endure it and go down with your majesty? The person who presides over this world is always His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Therefore, Princess Qin asked her sons to behave more in front of the emperor, but she was mediocre to the queen mother.
However, he wanted to push Zhao Duoze to a desperate situation...... must get rid of the Queen Mother's pity for Zhao Duoze, once the Queen Mother does not support Zhao Duoze, Zhao Duoze will not be far from betraying his relatives.
"It's a pity that the old prince has a spirit in the sky, and he chose an excellent and stable princess for the prince, and it will confuse the princess."
Princess Qin pressed her temples with a little annoyance, it would be nice if she had married a stupid person, "I never thought that the position of the son of the Jiang family would fall in the second room, and the Jiang family would marry the second lady who is not famous, the prince is really lucky, but ...... No matter how good your luck is, there will be times when you run out. ”
"What does the master think?"
"Let the Queen Mother give up the opportunity of the princess, I'm afraid it will fall on the princess." Princess Qin said slowly, "I don't believe I can't control a milky girl." ”
"The princess naturally can't be compared with the master."
"However, I can't be careless and underestimate her too much."
Princess Qin is also very embarrassed by the Jiang family's second room not playing cards according to common sense, originally set up a trap, the Jiang family can always avoid it, not to say, but also fight back, this really makes Princess Qin scratch her head, confused, Jiang Erye is a smart person? Or an idiot?
It seems that no matter how good her plan is, it will be destroyed by this Jiang Erye, who she doesn't look down on.
What if Second Master Jiang is trapped?
Princess Qin's eyes lit up, the Jiang family of Yongning Hou is not monolithic, the title of Viscount unexpectedly fell on the head of the second room, thinking that the rest of the Jiang family's sons must be unwilling, especially Changfang has also made a registered concubine, and he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongning, if it were not for Jiang Erye to denounce Xu Guangli, Jiang Erye would not be able to accept the title at all.
If Second Master Jiang can't take care of Jiang Luyao, it will be much easier for Princess Qin to do anything, and Second Master Jiang is Jiang Luyao's most powerful arm.
Find an opportunity to push the long house of Yongninghou.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen Mother has come to pass on the will and let you enter the palace."
"Okay."
The corners of Princess Qin's mouth were hooked, knowing that this was the queen giving herself face, and calling herself into the palace on Concubine Yang's sacrifice day, which itself meant to support herself, the queen and the emperor were husband and wife, and the queen had His Royal Highness the Prince...... The emperor has always been jealous of the Yang family.
The meaning of the queen also represents the emperor's thoughts.
After Jiang Luyao heard the news of Princess Qin's entry into the palace, she said lightly: "Don't care about her." ”
"Isn't the queen mother clearly slapping the face of the Yang family? When will it not be possible to summon Princess Qin into the palace? On the first princess's sacrifice day? ”
"Mother Ruan, the queen mother is not aware of the holy will, even if there is only a group of widows left in the Yang family, the emperor is also awkward in his heart." Jiang Luyao didn't raise her head, looking at the house drawings in her hand, where to use what kind of hanging wire, where to set up the joints, she had to calculate.
"Wouldn't the prince be ...... by the emperor?"
"There's no way to do it."
Jiang Luyao lightly stopped Ruan's mother from continuing, if Zhao Duoze is really the bloodline of the Yang family, he should bear this heavy responsibility, but if he is just a chess piece, a shield, why let him sacrifice for the Yang family?
"What are you going to do?"
"After dark, you understand. Don't you need to ask, do what I say. ”
"Yes."
……
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the palace. The nurse was not happy to see people, so she lived in a relatively remote part of the palace.
Another advantage of a loyal servant is that he will never ask for anything from his master, Zhao Duoze did not treat the nurse as a slave, but the nurse herself has always guarded the slave's 'true colors' and refused to enjoy luxury.
Today coincides with the day of Concubine Yang's sacrifice, the nurse will normally worship the master in the courtyard under normal circumstances, chanting in the house until dawn, at this time the nurse does not like to be disturbed, every year today, the servants who serve the nurse always have to rest early, do not dare to make a movement to provoke the nurse unhappy.
This provides convenience for Jiang Luyao.
Rao is not many people, Jiang Luyao still lit the incense and stunned the slave who served the nurse.
Betraying the nurse once is a betrayal, betraying many times, and it is also a betrayal, so the servant who was bribed by Jiang Luyao opened the courtyard door, bowed down and said, "I've seen the princess." ”
"You're good, I won't forget you."
Jiang Luyao only took Ruan's mother alone, and said in a low voice: "You will listen to my arrangement in a while." ”
The servant nodded, helping Jiang Luyao to get busy inside and out, and soon the hanging threads were hung properly, Ruan's mother and the servants looked confused, the spider-web-like thin threads were useful?
The sound of the nurse chanting the scriptures for the master came out of the house, Jiang Luyao sent away Ruan's mother and the servants, she approached the house alone, looked inside through the window, the nurse knelt on the futon, sincerely prayed for the master, and recited the scriptures.
Jiang Luyao saw her gray hair and empty eyes, and her heart was a little unbearable, she folded her hands and thought silently, hoping that everything was just a misunderstanding, Concubine Yang don't let me hate you, and help Aze ruin everything you care about.
No matter how hard she endures, Jiang Luyao will not be ambiguous about what should be done.
Lighting the spices hidden in his hand, he gently pushed open the window, the blind person's hearing is much more sensitive than ordinary people, if it weren't for the nurse concentrating on chanting the scriptures for the master, I am afraid that Jiang Luyao would be standing outside the door, she would find out.
The nurse turned her head to the direction of the window and said sharply, "Who?" Who's where? ”
There was a loud noise, and the room was confused with ghostly mist, and the maid who was left by the nurse saw a white shadow drifting into the window, and screamed: "Ghost, ghost." ”
The maid's eyes rolled and she fainted, and the nurse's body trembled, "Who?" Who's pretending to be a ghost? Come out for me? ”
The ghost fire from the ghost hunter Taoist priest who got it from Jiang Erye's hand flickered, flickering in the room, although the nurse couldn't see it, but she could hear the sound, and it was terrifying to hear only the sound if she couldn't see it, especially the wind sound of a shadow floating around, and the nurse was angry, "Who?" ”
Jiang Luyao saw that the time was ripe, and pinched her throat, "Child, my child." ”
"Ahh The nurse was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, "Ah...... Who is it? ”
Jiang Luyao didn't know what Concubine Yang's voice was, once she imitated it, it was not easy to show timidity, so she wittily modified the plan, "My child, return my child...... Mom, give me back the baby. ”
"Are you...... Are you Red? ”
"Child, I just want children."
Jiang Luyao originally didn't know who Xiaohong was, but the nurse said Xiaohong's name, and her heart sank, "You promised me back then that you would take good care of him, but you ...... But how do you do it? Why don't you hurt him? Do you think that when I die, I can't ask you for my life? You've done all the things that hurt nature...... Concubine Yang...... Ha Luha, Her Royal Highness the precious Concubine Yang has been recruited in front of the king of Hades. ”
"No, no, how can the master be the same as you?"
The nurse's face turned pale, "The master is the only concubine of the Yang family, and she is the proud daughter of the sky, you ...... You are just a slut, a slut who seduces the prince, if it is not for the kindness of the master, how can you be pregnant? It is even more unlikely that there will be any evil seed left. ”
Because Jiang Luyao drugged the nurse, the nurse looked in a trance, like falling into a dream, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and at the same time had a little heart to confide......
Jiang Luyao put her hand into the cold water prepared next to her, no matter how cold the water was, she couldn't dare not be cold at this time, grabbing the hanging wire, Jiang Luyao flew into the house through the window, and gave the nurse a slap in the air, "This is a fight instead of Aze...... Cheap? How dare you say that I and the prince's son are cheap? ”
The hand that climbed up from the cold underworld slapped her face, and the nurse completely believed the ghost and said bluntly, "You can't be reincarnated, and you can't go to the underworld to complain, the master is a fairy in the sky...... The king of Hades would never dare to blame the master, and the concubine was originally sacrificed for the master...... Like the group of pregnant people, your soul has been imprisoned in the spirit card by the master, and your soul has long been scattered, so you can't tell the master. ”
"Do you think that when Concubine Yang does something, God will tolerate her, if a person dies, how can there be a distinction between high and low? I have accumulated merit in my previous life, so I can naturally get good fortune, and Concubine Yang is a noble girl in the yang world, but she steals the dragon and turns the phoenix, and her conscience is lost, and the king of Hades will naturally punish her according to her crimes, do you think she has benefited? I tell you, she has suffered so much in the underworld, which is why I came to you......"
Jiang Luyao's voice was hoarse, her eyes were wet, and she felt distressed for Aze, thanks to Aze's absence.
"Let me ask you, didn't she tell you that back then...... Why do you want to hurt and use Aze? The Yang family has already been rehabilitated, why don't they explain the truth? ”
"For what? When the Yang family was unlucky, why did King Qin turn a blind eye? Besides, Taijun said that the emperor was suspicious of the Yang family...... The little master had better grow up safely, I let a sinister seed be the son of the world for so many years, you should be grateful, how can you blame me? ”
Do you want the Yang family to have a face?
Is this a bad thing done?
"Xiaohong, let me tell you, you are lucky, those pregnant women have not survived the induction of labor, only you gave birth to him, your son is also lucky, he has enjoyed more than ten years of glory and wealth, you should be grateful, not to complain about me, you should feel honored to sacrifice for the Yang family. You'd better go back and serve your master well, or I'll let your son die without a place to be buried!" ”
The nurse stood up and sneered: "Don't think you're a ghost, I'm afraid of you...... You were used by me when you were alive, and you can't fight me when you're dead. Your son believes in me most now...... Do you understand? If it weren't for kindness, would he have lived to this day? ”
"You don't have to be upset, when the time is ripe, I will naturally let them go back to you, only the little master can inherit the Qin Wangfu and support the Yang family, in the future, the little master will naturally take care of Zhao Duoze in the future, looking at the love of these years......"
Jiang Luyao returned to her usual voice, "Care? Maybe who will take care of whom in the future, nurse niang, you are very good, the princess of this world will remember what you said today, the Yang family...... It is appropriate to cut off children and grandchildren, and the woman who deserves to marry into the Yang family will be widowed for a lifetime, and the Yang family treasures ...... Pray for him. ”
"The princess? Jiang's? ”
"Do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
Jiang Luyao raised her hand and slapped the nurse twice, and sneered: "Since then, Aze and I have been fighting with the Yang family. ”
