Chapter 147: Prayer
"There's no need to beat around the bush anymore, if there's anything, just say it directly, if it's okay, go back, don't get in the way of this king's eyes here, this king doesn't have so much time to spend here with you." Wei said indifferently.
"Lord Wang, how can you say that about the concubine body, the concubine body is wholeheartedly for the good of the prince." Mrs. Cheng said with red eyes, if Wei Han had seen it before, he might have felt pity, but now Wei Han only has disgust in his heart and eyes.
Wei Han turned his head to stare at Mrs. Cheng, who dodged her eyes and looked away.
"Tell me, what is the matter with you, this king's patience is not much." Wei Han asked sharply.
"Lord Wang, the concubine came to you this time to ask for your help."
"Looking for help from this king?"
"Lord, the concubine has already heard about my father's affairs, so the concubine came to you, begging you to help the concubine, help the father, and ask the emperor for intercession."
"Pleading, huh." The corners of Wei Han's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Mrs. Cheng.
"The princess and concubine know that my father is really wrong this time, and my father must be confused to be like this." Mrs. Cheng said excitedly.
"Do you know what your good father did behind the king's back? Your good father colluded with Sun Zhang in private, embezzled **, and oppressed the people, is that group of people at fault? This king will tell you the truth, your father knows that this king and the four princes are in trouble for inheritance, but he is supported by the four princes, this is the king's good father-in-law, it really makes this king cold, but this king doesn't need their help, even if there is no king without them, he can still get what he wants. Wei Han looked at Mrs. Cheng and said word by word.
"No, it's impossible, how can father, support the four princes, it's impossible, lord, there must be some misunderstanding in this." Mrs. Cheng shook her head again and again, defending Lord Cheng.
"Impossible, what did this king lie to you, if it weren't for what this king saw with his own eyes when he went down to Jiangnan, this king would still be kept in the dark." Wei Han pretended to be sad and shook his head.
"Lord Wang, please save your father, father, he must have listened to other people's slander to stand on the wrong side, otherwise how could he do something sorry for the prince." Mrs. Cheng choked up and said, my sister only said in the letter that her father was corrupt because of collusion with Sun Zhang, but she did not mention it.
"My father has already made plans for this matter, this king will never disobey his father because of a person who doesn't want to do it, if you want to go back to Chengfu, this king will never stop you." Wei Han said.
"Thank you, concubine," Mrs. Cheng said.
"If you're gone, you don't have to come back." Wei Han added. When Mrs. Cheng heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, she never thought that Wei Han would say such a thing, didn't Wei Han want to live Mrs. Cheng in disguise, and actually said that her father was a person who didn't want to do it.
"Lord, the concubine is wrong, the concubine should not protect her father, please forgive the prince." Mrs. Cheng was frightened by Wei Han's words, and immediately knelt on the ground to plead after reacting.
"Go out to this king, this king doesn't want to see you." Wei Han glared at Mrs. Cheng and pointed to the door to let her out.
"Lord Wang, why are you so affectionate to your concubine." Mrs. Cheng knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"This king is kind, hmph, if you are still here and take it down, then this king will let you know what is really unkind." Wei said indifferently.
"Princess, let's go first, the prince is angry now, if he stays any longer, it will only make the prince even more angry." Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng's maid muttered in Mrs. Cheng's ear. Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng stood up and said, "Lord, the concubine body will not disturb the prince here, the concubine body will go back first, if the prince is hungry, eat something, and the concubine will retire." Mrs. Cheng said.
Seeing that Wei Han didn't have any reaction, Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to leave in a gloomy manner.
"Princess, the slave is back."
"Why did you come back after such a while, Concubine Ben was a little anxious to wait." Mei Niang said jokingly.
"Princess, when the slave maid went to the Internal Affairs Mansion to get something, she bumped into Mrs. Cheng carrying something to the study to find the prince, so the slave and maid went up to take a look, so I delayed it, and asked the princess to forgive her sins." Mei Niang's personal maid said that although she said that she was wrong and asked Mei Niang for her guilt, she was very sure in her heart that her master would never blame herself if she knew that she was going to do this.
"What is she doing in the study?" Mei Niang asked casually.
"Princess, don't you know, the slave secretly listened to something, it seems that Mrs. Cheng's father was suspended by the emperor, Mrs. Cheng went to beg the prince, and asked the prince to intercede in front of the emperor on behalf of Lord Cheng." The maid lowered her voice and said.
"What, Mrs. Cheng and her father were dismissed? Why is that? Mei Niang was very surprised when she heard this, why was she suspended.
"The slave maid heard from them, it seemed that Mrs. Cheng's father wanted to collude with the corrupt officials in Yangcheng to oppress the people, and the emperor suspended him in a fit of anger." The little maid said.
"Heh, so that's the case, Mrs. Cheng went to find the prince, what did the prince say." Mei Niang asked very proudly.
"Princess, don't you know that the prince can't say a word about blocking Mrs. Cheng, and he almost has to take a break from Mrs. Cheng. The slave maid thought, Mrs. Cheng was frightened this time, and told her to always fly and be domineering, and there was no one in her eyes. The little maid pouted.
"You, it's good to say these words in front of the concubine, remember to go outside, don't talk too much." Mei Niang talked about her maid, but her heart was already happy.
"Hmph, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, without the backer of Cheng Mansion, this concubine will see how proud you are." Mei Niang squinted her eyes and thought.
"Niangniang, you're okay." On the way back, Mrs. Cheng's maid asked.
"Concubine Ben is fine, I'm angry with Concubine Ben, the prince is so affectionate to Concubine Ben." Mrs. Cheng was angry and aggrieved in her heart.
"Princess, the slave maid feels that the prince should not be blamed for this matter." The little maid said a little timidly.
"Then you mean, blame the concubine." Mrs. Cheng paused and asked with slanted eyes.
"No, no, princess, the slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't mean that." The maid shook her head again and again and said hurriedly.
After Mrs. Cheng went back, she sat alone on the bed and sulked.
"Father is really old and confused, if it weren't for my father, how could this concubine be treated like this by the prince now." Mrs. Cheng suddenly muttered.
"Princess, this time it is true that the lord did something inappropriate, the slave maid thinks that the prince is not really affectionate to the princess, but the prince thinks that the lord betrayed the prince and supports the four princes, so the prince feels cold and is angry with the princess, so it is also said in the past." The maid analyzed carefully.
"Then he can't treat this concubine like this, this concubine is his wife, and he is almost about to divorce this concubine." When Mrs. Cheng thought of this, she was still a little scared, and she was almost abolished.
"Princess, you can think about it, if it were you at this time, what would you do?" The little maid reminded.
"Lord, now that I'm angry, no matter what the concubine says now, it won't make any difference, and it will make the prince even more disgusted, so the concubine might as well try the bitter meat trick." Mrs. Cheng thought proudly in her heart, if one road doesn't work, then change the way.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Cheng lay in bed and did not get up, and claimed that she was sick, so she was bedridden.
"Princess, the slave will go to find the prince for you, you lie down quickly and put the towel on your head."
"Go, go, when you come, remind the concubine."
"Yes."
Mrs. Cheng was lying on the bed, not even eating lunch in order to pretend to be sick, lying on the bed weakly, squinting her eyes, staring at Wei Han's arrival.
"Slave maid, see the prince."
"What's the matter?"
"Prince, go and see the princess, after going back yesterday, the princess fainted after vomiting a mouthful of blood, and kept calling the name of the princess in her mouth, the princess woke up last night because you were sad and cried for a while, the slave said to come to you, but the princess was afraid of disturbing your rest, so she stopped the slave and didn't call the slave to call you." Mrs. Cheng's maid said with tears and tears.
"Hmph, since you're sick, why don't you invite the imperial doctor over, what's the use of calling this king, this king still has a lot of things to do, I don't have time to go over to see her, and tell her to settle down." Wei Han said.
"Lord, go over and see the princess, even if the princess does something wrong, but she still has the princess in her heart, if it weren't for loving the princess, how could the princess do stupid things, lord, you can't be so affectionate to the princess." The maid knelt on the ground and cried.
"Presumptuous, you dare to accuse this king, you are tired of it." When Wei Han heard this, his heart suddenly became angry again, obviously he did something wrong and did something wrong, but he kept saying that others were kind, which was really ridiculous.
"Lord Wang, the slave doesn't dare, the slave just told the truth."
"The truth? Hmph, why did this king treat her like this, this king thinks that you must be like a mirror in your heart, you go back to this king to warn her, if she is doing something wrong, this king will send her back to Cheng's house, if she is pleading with Cheng, this king will tell his father that he took Cheng's life, don't force this king to be in a hurry. Wei Han glared at the maid and said.
"Slave...... The slave and maid know. “
"Then don't let this king go."
Mrs. Cheng heard the footsteps in the yard, and began to cough "cough", holding her forehead very weakly.
"Princess, the slave is back." The maid whispered with red eyes, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Where's the prince?" When Mrs. Cheng saw that the maid was back alone, she immediately stood up and asked.
"Princess, prince, he ......"
"What's wrong with him, why didn't the prince come with you."
"Princess, the prince said that he was not a doctor, and it didn't help if he came over."
"What." Mrs. Cheng's eyes widened angrily.
"Princess, the prince asked the slave and maid to tell you a few words."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Cheng asked angrily.
"The prince said, tell you to stay in the mansion in peace, don't be a moth in the whole thing, if you don't listen, you will be sent back to the Cheng mansion, if you go to intercede for the lord again, the prince said that this matter will not be so simple, to ......"
"What do you want, what did he say?" Mrs. Cheng shouted like crazy.
"I'm going to take my master's life."
"What, that's what he said." Mrs. Cheng clenched her fists tightly, and the fire in her heart burned all of a sudden.
"He actually didn't care about Concubine Ben's body at all, and asked you to pass on such words to Concubine Ben, and Concubine Ben couldn't stand him." Mrs. Cheng overturned the table on the bed, the teacups, and the small snacks scattered all over the ground.
Mrs. Cheng was so angry that in order to pretend to be sick and make herself look weaker, Mrs. Cheng specially didn't eat last night, this morning, and noon, so she fainted emotionally. ”
"Princess, wake up, come quickly." The maid was frightened and hurriedly shouted, and a few rough maids outside hurriedly ran in when they heard the words and helped Mrs. Cheng to the bed.
