Chapter 138: Struggle
Xi Xi is a solid-eyed person in the end, and she never tells half a lie, but she saw that her eyes were red, and her face was full of grievances, "My husband is with the county lord of Beiliang, and I don't have time to come to see you, if you have anything to say, just tell me." ”
The dying person, on the contrary, saw that everything was open, but saw that the eldest princess's face was not much sad, but she was secretly crying.
"Mother." I couldn't help crying even more, and my thin body kept shaking.
"This is retribution, now for the sake of such a woman, he has completely ruined this life." The eldest princess said slowly, "It's all karma." ”
She closed her eyes.
Unfortunately, seeing that she was not breathing, he reached out to touch his snort.
And at this moment, I saw that the eldest princess had already opened her eyes, and she didn't speak for a long time.
She saw that the eldest princess refused to swallow this breath, and she also knew in her heart that she was actually waiting for Ruan Lu to come over.
Until it was pitch black outside, a bright candle was lit in the house, and even the coffin that had been quietly prepared was parked outside, and the eldest princess suddenly opened her mouth slowly, "What about the princess?" I hurt her once, and I don't even want to see me for the last time? ”
It's a pity to know that she is talking about Fu Yunhuang, so she has to say slowly, "The princess has now been demoted to a concubine, and she has been grounded, so she really can't come to see you." ”
"I see, no matter how beautiful she is, she can't fight that woman after all." The eldest princess's face was full of red light. It's already back to the light, "Just by virtue of that Lian Zhi'er being his sweetheart, she has already been defeated." ”
It's a pity that I don't know how to answer, but I feel like a knife.
When the maids and old wives outside saw that the eldest prince was about to die, they only wanted to clap their hands and celebrate, only to feel that they didn't have to serve this crazy man, but they were at ease.
And Xi Xi is a weak person, how can he control them, they are lazy outside, chattering. From time to time, laughter can be heard.
I can't help but feel more and more sad.
"Well, I'll go." The eldest princess said slowly, "In the future, he will no longer be the son of this princess, but it is ...... that I have worked hard for him all my life and ended up like this."
She closed her eyes tightly after speaking, and there was no breath left.
I couldn't help but cry out with a "wow", and everyone outside heard the cry and rushed in, and when they saw that the eldest princess had died, they all knelt on the ground.
It took a long time to wipe his tears, "Go tell the prince." ”
******
Lian Zhi'er barely ate some meat soup at night, these days because she was afraid of hurting her stomach, she just ate bland and tasteless porridge all day long, and now she can finally eat meat, so she can't help but eat more bowls.
Ruan Lu saw her eating like this, but he was afraid of hurting his body, but he didn't persuade her, just waited for her to finish eating, and asked people to prepare some hawthorn pills for backup.
And he just moved his chopsticks, but he didn't eat anything. The face is full of worries.
Lian Zhi'er knew what he was worried about, but when she saw him in such pain, her face was indifferent, as if she didn't notice anything at all.
After bathing and changing, Lian Zhi'er lay on the bed, and after a while, she closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, and even the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier.
Ruan Lu saw that she frowned even when she was sleeping, and only stretched out his cold hand to touch her eyebrows.
And at this moment, I saw a rush of footsteps outside, but it was the housekeeper waiting outside the door, Ruan Lu didn't wait for the maids to come in and come back, he had already turned around and went out.
When the housekeeper saw him, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and only hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, the eldest princess died in time." ”
Ruan Lu only felt that his eyes were dark, and his chest ached for a while, and then he spit out a mouthful of black blood, if it weren't for the butler supporting him, he almost fell to the ground.
"The prince's day mourns." The butler hurriedly said, "You have to take care of yourself." ”
Ruan Lu shook off the butler's hand, and when he staggered to the eldest princess's courtyard, he saw a deep voice slowly coming, "Where are you going, Lord Wang?" ”
He looked back suddenly, but saw that Lian Zhi'er had been standing by the door for some time, looking at him from afar with a pair of pale eyes, with grievances and endless attachment.
He seemed to weigh a thousand pounds under his feet, but he turned back to her side and looked down at her feet, which were not wearing shoes and socks.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm only here with you." He endured all the pain, even the gentle smile on his face was so reluctant and desperate, "Those who promised to accompany you here will naturally not break their promises." ”
At this moment, he turned around and instructed the butler, "Take advantage of the darkness to move out of my mother's coffin, and mourn it in a few days, and this matter must not be known to others, nor can it be passed to the palace." ”
The housekeeper didn't think about sending people away overnight, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to my father's old house, it's more remote and won't be noticed." Ruan Lu took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the despair on his face, "Bury people quietly, and don't let anyone know about it." ”
The dignified eldest princess, and the eldest mother of the current regent, didn't expect to fall into such a situation today, and she couldn't help but sigh.
The housekeeper soon left, and Ruan Lu carried Lian Zhi'er back to the house for a long time, allowing her dirty soles to step on the brocade bedding.
Lian Zhi'er's fingers clutched his sleeve tightly, "Lord, stay here with me." ”
His voice was hoarse and harsh, "Okay." ”
It was difficult for Lian Zhi'er to fall asleep quickly, and he was still tugging at his sleeve in his sleep, refusing to let go.
When she opened her eyes in the morning, she saw Ruan Lu lying on the side of the bed and already asleep, but she was still sad in her sleep.
And at this moment, a maid came in and called Ruan Lu up. He was going to go to the morning court.
Lian Zhi'er watched him put on the heavy royal robe, and the five-clawed coiled dragon on it looked particularly dazzling, with a thoughtful look, but he didn't say anything.
After Ruan Lu left, Lian Zhi'er slowly got up, and only let the maids serve her to freshen up.
Seeing that she was so favored, how could these maids dare to be half slack, and only compete for flattery in front of her.
And Lian Zhi'er didn't ask for anyone, but only got Yun Dou'er, the maid who was sent to the rough envoy, back, but he hadn't seen him for more than a year, and the two of them had changed.
Yun Dou'er only felt very strange when she saw Lian Zhi'er, but she didn't dare to be intimate, she only served carefully, but she was also dedicated.
And when it was noon, I saw the housekeeper hurriedly going back and forth, only saying that the eunuch in the palace was here, and he went to Lianzhi'er to be named the regent princess, and suddenly the whole room was overjoyed, busy saying auspicious words.
Lian Zhi'er was sitting on the soft couch, drinking tea proudly, but after listening to such a happy thing, there was still no wave on his face, but he nodded lightly, "Well, I know,"
But the regent personally ordered that Lian Zhi'er didn't have to take the decree in person, but only said that her body was weak and she had to be raised well.
looked so pampered and arrogant, but everyone didn't dare to say anything. But the people in the Ministry of Rites were all unhappy, after all, they were all things that broke the rules.
Soon all kinds of treasures were brought into the house, all of which were given by the emperor, but everyone knew that not all of them were obtained by the regent, and now the contents of the treasury were emptied, and they could not get any of them.
Lian Zhi'er was rarely interested in picking out a few things to take a closer look, and then ordered people to hang red lanterns and all kinds of colored curtains outside, just for good luck.
The eldest princess didn't have it yesterday, who dares to do it today, but since Lian Zhi'er has commanded, where do everyone dare not obey?
Lian Zhi'er was playing with the night pearl on the ground as a stone in the house, but she came in with a pale face, her eyes were red, her hair was scattered, as if she hadn't slept all night. ok essay network
Presumably it was the people who served her who asked her to come here to say goodbye, after all, Lian Zhi'er is now the real regent princess, and she is a side concubine.
Lian Zhi'er couldn't get tired of this woman who hung all her joys, sorrows and sorrows on her face, and when she saw her coming, she just asked Yun Dou'er to pour tea.
It's a pity but gritted his broken teeth and refused to speak.
Lian Zhi'er said with a smile, "Does my sister have something she likes?" You just have to choose, since it is a reward from the emperor, it must be excellent! ”
He said slowly, "Why didn't you let the prince go to see his mother yesterday, didn't this make him saddled with the infamy of unfilial piety?!" ”
Lian Zhi'er's face suddenly changed, "Are you pointing at this princess?" ”
It's a pity that her face turned pale, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
Lian Zhi'er's most disgusting thing is to cherish this pair of clear eyes, which only allows people to see through her heart at a glance. Lian Zhi'er also had such eyes, she was clear and immaculate at that time, kind to others, and even felt that everything could be forgiven.
"Could it be that this princess has wronged you?" Lian Zhi'er snorted coldly, "Go outside and kneel, and wait for the princess to be angry before you can get up." ”
The courtyard where Lian Zhi'er lives is Ruan Lu's, and the courtyard is planted with bamboo, and in order to take advantage of the elegance, the road is paved with cobblestones, which I don't know how much it hurts to kneel on it.
There was no fear on his face, "Yes." ”
After Ruan Lu came down from the morning court, he returned to the mansion, but when he saw that there were curtains hanging on the covered bridges everywhere, he looked happy, so he was immediately furious, and he sent someone to call the housekeeper.
When the butler saw him angry like this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
But seeing Ruan Lu said coldly, "Who asked you to hang this, you don't want to live." Why don't you take it off soon? ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "The slave didn't dare to hang it, but the princess ordered it, and the slave really didn't dare to disobey, so the slave dismantled all these things and asked the prince to spare his life." ”
Ruan Lu's face was very ugly, and his dark eyes were mixed with a little pain, "That's it, just hang it, whatever she tells in the future, you just do it." ”
It took a long time for Ruan Lu to turn around and walk towards his yard, but he saw that Xi Xi was kneeling in the courtyard, although he only saw his back, he still saw it at a glance.
A delicate woman, but at this time kneeling straight, with a bit of stubbornness.
He walked over slowly, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw his official robe, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and called in a low voice, "Husband." ”
Ruan Lu looked at her for a long time before slowly asking, "I heard that you were always by your mother's side yesterday, did she say anything when she was dying?" Or what did you say? ”
Xi Xi is a person who never lies, but at this time, he couldn't help showing a little nervousness in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Mother said that the prince must not leave the princess by his side, otherwise you will ruin yourself." ”
Ruan Lu didn't say anything, but his face was a little gloomy, "Why are you kneeling here?" But offended the princess? ”
She nodded slowly. looked aggrieved, but listened to Ruan Lu say slowly, "If there is nothing in the future, you don't have to come to the princess, you can stay in the house alive." ”
She never thought that Ruan Lu would be so partial to Lian Zhi'er, and she didn't even ask why the woman treated herself like this, as if all the grievances had spread, she couldn't help but shed tears, and she looked pitiful, "Will the prince go to see the concubine?" ”
Ruan Lu to her. After all, I can't bear it, "Yes." ”
It's a pity.
"Go back and rest, and let the maids give you some medicine."
After being supported by the maids and staggering back, Ruan Lu turned around and entered the house, only to see that the room was full of countless treasures, but in the middle was the bright and flickering holy decree.
He saw Lian Zhi'er sitting on the bed, and on the ground were a few broken and shapeless night pearls, and her eyes were shining, as if she was trying her best to hide her grievances.
"It's just a few broken pearls of the night. Just go back and send someone to buy it, why is it so stingy, is it good to cry? He walked over slowly and said with a smile, "Isn't there anything else?" ”
Lian Zhi'er slowly raised her eyes, "I'm dealing with her, she offended me today." ”
Ruan Lu knew why she was so angry, so she only said slowly, "She doesn't have any bad intentions, it must be an unintentional mistake, after kneeling for so long, isn't your anger gone?" ”
Lian Zhi'er sneered, "I didn't expect the prince to like her so much, so you can just go to her, why bother to come to me?" ”
After saying that, she leaned on the bed, wrapped her body in a brocade quilt, and didn't even show her head, she was really annoyed.
Now that it's spring, if this child is stuffy, won't it be hot, he is so busy that he reaches out to pull the quilt, and his mouth is still persuading, "You fool, are you still jealous?" ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't say anything, just covered her head and was almost angry.
After a long time, Ruan Lu tore off the quilt on her head, but saw that her face was full of tears, and her eyes were also red.
"Don't cry." His heart was like a knife, "I will definitely treat you well in the future, I don't think you will be wronged at all, if you don't like it, I will just send her out." ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't say anything, just slowly closed her eyes, and she didn't open them for a long time, but she didn't expect to fall asleep.
Ruan Lu carefully covered her quilt and sat on the edge of her bed, watching her sleep.
After returning to her room, she personally applied medicine to herself, she only cried secretly beside the bed, and she couldn't help but think of when Fu Yunhuang was the princess. Treat yourself in a thousand ways.
She asked the maids to prepare some pastries, and hurriedly went to Fu Yunhuang's yard.
Although Ruan Lu had demoted her to a concubine, the things in the house had not been moved, but the maids in the house had to do something perfunctory when they saw that she was gone, and some people even sent things to the steward, and transferred themselves from here, and they did not forget to move some treasures when they left.
For a while, there were thieves everywhere, and Rao was a shrewd person like Fu Yunhuang, but there was no way.
When it was a pity to pass, the maids also knew that she was a soft persimmon, and only accepted her silver, and then let her in to see Fu Yunhuang.
As soon as she entered, she saw Fu Yunhuang sitting on the bed, with only a silver hairpin loosely inserted on his black sideburns, and a coarse cloth shirt, but this rare appearance is dressed like this here, and it is also the appearance of the country and the city.
She couldn't help but sigh when she saw that pity was coming. "Now the people in the mansion, only my sister is willing to come to me to have a look. In the past, we had a good time, but now I didn't expect it to fall to such a point, and my sister must have had a bad time recently. ”
I couldn't help but fall, I only told everything I had suffered in the past few days, and when the eldest princess was gone, Fu Yunhuang couldn't help but show grief.
"Now the prince is so fascinated by her that he doesn't care about anything." I regret the worry on my face.
Fu Yunhuang's face was solemn, he only stood up, walked out of the window, and saw that there was no one, so he said slowly, "This woman is here for revenge, and now she is almost halfway through, and now she has caused a gap between the prince and my father, I am afraid that the prince's fortune will soon be calculated."
I couldn't help but show a look of panic, "What should I do then?" How can I save the prince? ”
Seeing her so anxious, Fu Yunhuang only slowly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Sister, now you must not leave the palace, even if it is for the life of the prince, you have to compete with that woman for favor, the prince treats you differently after all." ”
Xi Xi nodded, "Sister, then what should I do?" ”
Fu Yunhuang immediately leaned into her ear, and slowly said a few words, but his face became more and more solemn, it seemed to be some kind of strategy, and after listening to it, his face was full of panic, "That prince ......"
"Don't be afraid, this is all for the prince, are you really watching that woman so arrogant?" She said slowly, her voice was more encouraging, "Now that I am in such a fate, the prince loves you so much, will she spare your life?" I'm the only one in this mansion who can help you."
After saying that, she sat down on the chair again, reached out to open the food box, and ate the pastry inside.
