Chapter 87: Snatching the Child
"It seems that Master Shi is in a drowsy and hasn't woken up yet!" Ruan Lu's face was full of sarcasm, "Now that you are thinking about fighting with the Beiliang people, you hand her over to the imperial court, and then she will become the target of public criticism." Don't forget that it's her uncle, not her father, who is now in charge of the army. ”
Yes, King Yan Cheng may not care about the life of his niece.
"I'm not going to give her to anyone, I'm going to take care of her." Shi's pale eyes were full of solemnity.
"Protection? Do you still mean to say such a thing? Ruan Lu's eyes suddenly showed anger, "I handed her over to you at the beginning, how did you look at her?" She came up with the child in her arms that day, and the doctor said that if it was half an hour later, the son of this world would never see his son for the rest of his life! ”
Knowing that Ah Kong was not dead, the stinging pain in Shi Ran's chest seemed to gradually dissipate.
"Not this time." Shi Ran's eyes shone with a strange brilliance, "I will marry her." ”
Ruan Lu only felt a muffled thunder explode in his ears in an instant, and his brain was "buzzing", and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, trying to see whether he was dyed or not.
"This son of the world is in trouble today, it seems that I have to ask the master to take a look when I go back." His face was full of sincerity, "I must also go to your mansion to take a look at the scholars, but I don't know where the decaying ghost came from, and I entangled the scholars." ”
I saw that he said these words in a playful tone, but there was sarcasm in his voice.
Shi Ran's face was always so unwavering, "The only thing I regret in this life is that I gave back the jade Ruyi in the first place." ”
He knew that if he really became the son-in-law of the King of Beiliang, he was afraid that after the people of Beiliang left. He was going to be the target of the public, but he didn't care.
After listening to his words, Ruan Lu suddenly smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness, "Don't be a fool and talk about dreams, no one in this world can protect her except this world." ”
"His Royal Highness saw his younger brother being thrown into the brazier when he was young, but he didn't say a word of pleading, can he protect her in front of the eldest princess now?" Shi Ran's face was solemn, "I will definitely take her back to Beiliang in the future." ”
Who didn't know about the eldest princess's cruelty to the heirs of the concubine, and what made people feel even more unbelievable was that the young Ruan Lu was only watching from the sidelines. There was not even the slightest fear, and everyone only quietly commented that Ruan Lu was as cruel and ruthless as his mother in his bones.
Ruan Lu's face froze, he said that he wanted to take her back, but he wanted to stay in Beiliang with her.
"Scholar Shi is an important minister in the court, and he has won the trust of the Queen Mother, is it possible to defect to the enemy and become a traitor?" Shi Ran looked at her with a smile.
"I never cared about all that."
And at this moment, I saw a few attendants around me, just quietly looking here, pointing and pointing from time to time.
Soon, someone was pushed over, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, as if it took a long time to muster up the courage, and only whispered, "The two adults don't want to quarrel again, this is in front of the Jinluan Palace, if there is a disturbance like the one in front of the palace gate, our lives will not be saved." ”
Ruan Lu was stunned. "This prince and Lord Shi are discussing major affairs in the court, but they are very kind."
The servant naturally didn't believe it, "His Royal Highness doesn't have to deceive the slaves, looking at the faces of you and Lord Shi, it looks as if you want to eat each other." ”
Ruan Lu only tugged at the corners of his lips lightly, then leaned over and said slowly in Shi Ran's ear, "I will take her to Yanhui Building today, if she is willing to leave with you, this world will not stop her." ”
——————
In the princess's mansion, Lian Zhi'er's house was only reluctantly cleaned up, although the two grandmothers outside were quite reluctant, and even Guan Yue in the house complained about the east and the west.
No matter how they made trouble, Lian Zhi'er just didn't hear it, which made a few people hold their anger back in their hearts.
But soon the kitchen man brought the food over, and even Zhi'er looked at it, and it was a table full of green vegetables and turnips, and there was no meat at all.
Everyone only thinks that Lian Zhi'er will make trouble, but she is still eating indifferently, but she is a very tolerant person, but in the eyes of everyone, she is extremely cowardly and incompetent, and she is a person who can't be supported for the rest of her life.
When she finished eating, she was going to say hello to the eldest princess, and sure enough, she came to the eldest princess's courtyard, and the servants only asked her to wait.
At this time, it was already the scorching sun, and she waited for half an hour, but the maids didn't even bring her half a cup of tea.
And at this moment, I saw that a small servant had come in to spread the word, only saying that His Royal Highness the Prince had returned from the court.
However, before Ruan Lu came over, there was already a maid who asked her to come into the house to be angry.
This is obviously because she doesn't want Ruan Lu to see it, so she has to endure it even if she has grievances.
Sure enough, she had just entered the house, but the maids had already set her up a seat and served tea.
Lian Zhi'er didn't move, even though her throat was almost smoking.
And Fu Yunhuang was also sitting next to the eldest princess, with a smile on her lips, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
The eldest princess glanced at Lian Zhi'er, and only snorted coldly, "Did the prince rest in your house last night?" ”
Lian Zhi'er looked panicked, and only said hurriedly, "Yesterday, the concubine didn't even clean up the house, how could I let His Royal Highness the Prince come over, besides, the concubine fell asleep early last night, and I have never seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The eldest princess saw that her face was full of panic and grievances, but she didn't look like she was lying and deceiving people, so she only snorted coldly.
At this time, I saw the maids open the curtain, but I saw Ruan Lu, who was dressed in an official robe, walked in, with a crown robe and shoes, which was a little more majestic and solemn than before.
She had never seen him wear the official robe so seriously, and she couldn't help but look twice, it turned out that the official robe in the Central Plains was so good-looking, not like them in Beiliang, a bunch of people crowded in a room, drinking spirits and eating mutton. Even the humility is not taken into account, just a banquet, and any big thing can be solved.
Xu is eyes were too hot, Ruan Lu's eyes also fell on her, just looking at her with a smile, she only felt red in the face, and turned her head busily.
Fu Yunhuang had already stood up, gave up his position to Ruan Lu, and then personally served tea to Ruan Lu, looking gentle and virtuous.
Lian Zhi'er slowly pulled the corners of her lips, picked up the tea cup next to her and drank it all in one gulp, and the maid on the side hurriedly added tea, and after a while, she drank four teas.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by her, and the eldest princess's face was very ugly, only when Lian Zhi'er was clearly revengeful, because she let her stand in the courtyard for half an hour.
Ruan Lu really frowned and looked at her, "What are you doing here?" There is no rule in front of the mother. ”
"That's because—" Lian Zhi'er paused.
The eldest princess's face couldn't help but look difficult, and there was already a warning in her eyes.
"That's because Her Royal Highness the princess's tea is so delicious, even the immortals of the Heavenly Palace can't drink such tea." Lian Zhi'er's face was full of sincerity, and she pretended to be unsatisfied.
Lian Zhi'er clearly saw that the eldest princess seemed to be relieved, it seemed that the eldest princess clearly didn't dare to embarrass her too much, there must be something wrong between this mother and son.
It seems that what Qiongluo said is right, if you want to bring down the eldest princess, you can only take her weakness, and that is Ruan Lu.
The eldest princess smiled, but it was a rare kindness. "Since you like it, you can bring some back in a while, and let the maids cook it for you."
Lian Zhi'er only hurriedly thanked her, with a cheap face, and everyone felt more and more that she was just a soft persimmon, and couldn't help but laugh more and more.
The eldest princess looked at Ruan Lu, "Why didn't you even change your official robe?" ”
"I just wanted to say hello to my mother." Ruan Lu's face was pale.
"What happened to the court today, and you went to work for most of the day?"
Ruan Lu's eyes casually looked at Lian Zhi'er, and then said slowly, "King Yan Cheng of the Huns is going to send troops, but I am afraid that there will inevitably be a disaster, as long as the imperial court sends troops, no one will go." ”
Everyone's eyes still fell on Lian Zhi'er involuntarily, because after all, she is a Beiliang person, and this identity is too embarrassing.
But Lian Zhi'er only tasted the tea slowly, as if he didn't care about anything, which made everyone very disappointed.
And at this moment, I heard the eldest princess frowning and said, "I don't know if the county lord of Beiliang hasn't been found yet?" Could it be that the people of Beiliang don't even care about her life? ”
"Even if I find it now, I'm afraid it will become a sacrifice for the coming day, the ambition of the wolf son of the Beiliang people, how can they collect troops because of a woman."
The eldest princess also had a sad face, "Yes, although the current King of Beiliang is her younger brother, he is a child after all, and he is not at the mercy of others." ”
Ruan Lu didn't say anything, just drank tea.
Fu Yunhuang is a smart person. Just on the side, don't say anything, after all, women can't interject in the court.
"You go to the border." The eldest princess said slowly, "Mother knows your life's ambitions, although you are young, you are also capable, if you want to achieve great things in the future, you will definitely make a difference." ”
Ruan Lu's eyes looked at Lian Zhi'er, but saw her head lowered, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, and a large silhouette cast on her face.
"My son doesn't want to go." Ruan Lu only said this, "Besides, the people of Beiliang can't be killed." ”
The eldest princess seemed to have something important to say, so Fu Yunhuang hurriedly led everyone out of the house.
Fu Yunhuang walked over and sent the maids out, just looked at Lian Zhi'er with a smile, and said slowly, "His Royal Highness the Prince was in your house last night?!" ”
Lian Zhi'er raised her eyes to look at her. "Why did the princess say such a thing? Is there anything that can't be substantiated? Or do you want me to be charged with cheating on the eldest princess? ”
"Then tell me, whose tooth mark is on the hand of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Fu Yunhuang's beautiful eyes swept over her body, with an unconcealable arrogance, "The eldest princess has also seen it, do you think the eldest princess is also a fool?" ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't remember that she had bitten Ruan Lu at all, but she didn't say anything more.
Fu Yunhuang didn't bother to pay attention to her, he only turned around and hugged her and left, and soon she and Sizhu were left.
And at this moment, I saw a figure walking out of the courtyard of the eldest princess, and soon caught up with Lian Zhi'er.
Seeing this, Sizhu only retreated to the side, leaving only Ruan Lu and Lian Zhi'er walking side by side.
Ruan Lu's mood was rarely good, and the fierceness in his eyes also decreased a lot, "Why do you keep looking at this son today?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's official robe looks very good, and it looks more noble than before." She looked honest and honest, her face was full of sincerity, "If I were a man, I would definitely enter the court as an official and wear this official robe." ”
Ruan Lu snorted coldly, and even became a little gloomy.
Lian Zhi'er still saw a few marks on his fingers, although they were shallow, they were still very conspicuous, no wonder Fu Yunhuang and the eldest princess saw them.
"Who is this tooth mark of His Royal Highness?" She frowned and asked, "The princess relied on me to bite it, and asked His Royal Highness the prince to explain it clearly, and let me bear this false name in vain." ”
Ruan Lu suddenly stopped, and even Zhi'er had to stop, but saw him looking straight at her. A pair of eyes were full of anger again.
"How to explain it? If this son said that he was bitten by a mad cat, who would believe it? Ruan Lu said coldly, "Besides, you have nothing to shout about wrongdoing!" ”
Lian Zhi'er frowned, only pulled his hand over, and only lowered his head and looked at it carefully, "No, it looks like a tooth mark." ”
Ruan Lu looked a little angry, and his voice was very harsh, "That's what a mad dog bites." Change the Japanese prince to kill it with his own hands, and save it to be rampant again. ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't want to continue to talk about it, but he was afraid that he would be angry and strangle her to death.
"Will my uncle attack the Central Plains?" She asked slowly, but there was endless worry and trepidation in her voice.
"Don't be afraid." He wanted to hold her in his arms, but there were too many slaves and maids passing by, so he slowly withdrew his hand and slowly hid it in his sleeve.
Lian Zhi'er nodded, and turned to leave. However, before he had gone far, Ruan Lu's complicated voice came from behind him, "You remember, if you leave the Eldest Princess's Mansion, you only need to die." ”
Lian Zhi'er nodded slowly, knowing that he was right.
And at this moment, I heard his voice come again, "Dress up for a while, this son will take you to meet someone." ”
"Who?" Lian Zhi'er was a little stunned and puzzled.
"You'll know when you go." Ruan Lu said slowly, "Don't worry. ”
After Ruan Lu left, Sizhu slowly followed, following behind Lian Zhi'er, and then said slowly, "Look at His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, it is really good to treat Mrs. ”
Lian Zhi'er was noncommittal, and at this moment, when the two passed by the lake, they saw that the nurse yesterday was walking around the lake with Akong in her arms.
Under such a scorching sun, the nurse only held a fan, but she desperately fanned herself, but completely ignored the infant child.
Lian Zhi'er only felt that her heart was like a knife, so she hurriedly walked over and said angrily, "Why are you here? ”
Sizhu beside him also frowned and said, "Mother Wang, what are you doing, do you want to let the little boy sunshine, why don't you take him back quickly." ”
The nurse snorted coldly, but she didn't pay attention to Lian Zhi'er at all, only snorted coldly, "The princess said, this child is bored in the room and noisy, let me take her to breathe, it just has nothing to do with you." ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at the infant child, her little face was very red, and she seemed to be very uncomfortable, "Take him back quickly." I'm afraid I'm going to get heat stroke for a while. ”
"Why are you meddling here, even the eldest princess said that this child is the princess of the world, and he has nothing to do with you, even if he dies in the future, he has nothing to do with you."
"What did you say?!" Lian Zhi'er was angry and anxious, wanting to snatch the child, but she was afraid that she would hurt Ah Kong.
The nurse snorted coldly, turned around and left, still reading shamelessly, "You kid still thinks you are a golden pimple, but it's a pity that you crawled out of the belly of a lowly person, and you will be bullied all your life. ”
After saying that, he was gone.
Lian Zhi'er clenched the fingers in her sleeve tightly, her heart was full of killing intent, but her face was full of panic and uneasiness, and she only cried helplessly to Sizhu, "She's too rampant." I'm going to see His Royal Highness, and I'm going to let His Highness dispose of her. ”
Sizhu hurriedly grabbed her, "Madam, can't you go to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Lian Zhi'er only pretended to be puzzled, "Why is this?" ”
"Madam, this child was handed over by the eldest princess to the princess to raise, and if you only go, don't you want everyone to think that you rely on the favor of the princess, and even the princess will not take it seriously? Besides, it's just a little bit of a sin for the little boy to bask for a while, at most scolding the nurse for not taking good care of him. ”
Lian Zhi'er seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and pulled the sleeve of the silk bamboo stiffly, "Then what should I do?" Muttered to watch them torture their son? ”
Sizhu's eyes flashed with a touch of pride, and then said slowly in Lian Zhi'er's ear, "What the slave said that day, you have to think about it well, it is better to let the little boy suffer once than to suffer every day in the future." ”
Lian Zhi'er looked panicked, "But, how did I poison my son." ”
"Don't worry, the slave and maid guarantee that nothing goes wrong." Sizhu whispered in her ear, "Don't you want the little boy to be happy by your side?" ”
Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth, and it was almost very difficult to make up her mind, "Also, you help me, as long as I can win my own child, I am willing to do anything." ”
Sizhu had a hint of joy and pride in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up, "Yes, the slave will do it immediately." ”
***
Lian Zhi'er stood in front of Yan Huilou, looking at the huge plaque and a little puzzled, only looking at Ruan Lu, who was dressed in brocade clothes and looked like a handsome son, and then asked, "What is His Royal Highness the Prince doing here with me?" ”
Ruan Lu didn't say anything, just hugged her waist affectionately and went to an extremely quiet room.
Lian Zhi'er stepped into the room, but saw a very familiar person standing by the window, still dressed in white, like a god, always so spotless.
"Scholar Shi." Lian Zhi'er only felt that her throat hurt a little, and even the words she said were a little dumb, "How could it be you?" ”
