Chapter 141: Who Can Have the Last Laugh
Cheng Fu
"Master Cheng, the director's father-in-law is here." Lord Cheng's entourage reported.
"Master, what are they doing?" Mrs. Cheng asked.
"What should come will come after all."
"The criminal ministers obeyed the order, carried by the heavens, and the emperor said that Lord Cheng colluded with the traitorous ministers in private, bullied the people, embezzled and accepted bribes, and was waiting to be punished by the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."
Lord Cheng sat on the ground and was stunned, and Mrs. Cheng hurriedly supported Lord Cheng.
"Don't take it yet." The director's father-in-law said condescendingly.
"Micro ...... We're in charge. Master Cheng took the holy decree.
"Sir. You're a fool. Mrs. Cheng knelt on the side and cried.
Master Cheng's eyes closed and he fainted.
"Come on, sir, wake up, sir." Mrs. Cheng threw herself on top of Master Cheng and cried, and the maid pulled her up from the ground.
"Madame, it's cold on the ground. Hurry up, the doctor is here. Mrs. Cheng's maid said.
"Mother, I'm back." Concubine Jing's maid came back at a trott, panting heavily.
"How's it going, how is Hongu's father now?" Concubine Jing hurriedly greeted her and asked anxiously.
"Mother, I've found out." The maid said breathlessly.
"Come on, I'm dying in a hurry."
"Niangniang, that's the case, the slave maid heard the palace maid next to the emperor say, the prince came back yesterday, the reason why the news of the death of the prince came from Yangcheng some time ago was to force Lord Sun of Yangcheng to show his feet, and Lord Cheng also participated in this matter together with Lord Sun, so Lord Cheng was naturally implicated." The maid said hurriedly.
Concubine Jing sat on the bed when she heard this, and immediately panicked, her current situation in the palace is not very good, and now her mother's family has also had an accident, how can this be good.
"You send someone out of the palace to inquire about the situation in Cheng's mansion now, this palace thinks that my sister doesn't know about this yet, you send someone to inform my sister, and ask my sister to find an opportunity to enter the palace and discuss this matter with this palace."
"Yes, sissy."
Wang fu
Wei Han rode back on a horse, there was originally a special sedan chair, and the carriage could come back, but Wei Han was so anxious that he couldn't wait to see Su Zhenzhen, riding a horse was the fastest.
Mrs. Cheng, Mei Niang and others were already waiting at the gate of the palace early.
"Mei Niang, look at it, is that the prince?" Mrs. Cheng said excitedly, only to see a man in the distance riding a horse galloping towards the palace.
"It seems to be the prince, hey, why did the prince come back on his horse." Mei Niang looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was Wei Han, and she was unconsciously puzzled.
"It's really a prince."
"Sister, why did the prince come back by himself, shouldn't he bring Xinna's concubine back?" Mei Niang asked with some confusion.
"My sister didn't say that I really didn't pay attention, there is indeed no woman, maybe it is to please my mother, stay in the palace and stay with her for a few more days." Although Mrs. Cheng said it very easily, she was already very jealous in her heart.
"Maybe it's as my sister said." Mei Niang responded with a peace voice.
"Lord Wang, you're back." Mei Niang and Mrs. Cheng saw Wei Han jump off the horse, and immediately greeted him, and the little girl sensibly took the horse rope from Wei Han's hand.
"Lord Wang, you can be regarded as back, it's really hard along the way." Mei Niang said softly, her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Well, I'm not tired." Wei Han said perfunctorily, his eyes looking around for Su Zhenzhen's shadow. Mei Niang smiled awkwardly.
"Lord Wang, the little half a month you have been away for a long time has really made the concubine miss it incomparably, and the moment the concubine learned that you had suffered misfortune, the concubine's heart was broken." Mrs. Cheng suddenly said with red eyes.
"Yes, my lord, the princess doesn't think about tea and food when you are away, and looks forward to your return day and night." Mrs. Cheng's maid hurriedly added.
Mrs. Cheng on the side stared at the prince affectionately with her eyes shining, thinking that the prince would be very moved when she heard this, but Wei Han did not mean to follow Mrs. Cheng.
"Okay, this king is tired, let's go in first." Wei Han looked for a long time and didn't see Su Zhenzhen's figure, and suddenly after saying something unhappy, he strode into the mansion, because he was a little angry, so he didn't ask them where Su Zhenzhen went, why didn't she come out to greet her, Mei Niang is a smart woman, she naturally knows what she is doing with such a left and right, so Mei Niang didn't make a sound.
"Lord, the concubine looks at you and is a little thin, Mei Niang, don't you see it." Mrs. Cheng chased after her and said.
"Yes, the prince is a little emaciated, presumably it is because of Yangzhou's affairs, and he is worried about his family, and he is thinking about his sister." Mei Niang said earnestly. No, Mrs. Cheng is very fond of this.
"Look at what Mei Niang is talking about, the prince naturally remembers everyone." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, my sister taught me that my sister is stupid." Mei Niang should be reconciled.
"Okay, this king is tired and wants to rest." Wei Han said with a frown.
"Lord ......"
"Sister, since the prince is tired, let him go and rest early." Before Mrs. Cheng could finish speaking, Mei Niang interrupted with a look at Mrs. Cheng.
"The prince will go and rest first, I am tired along the way, and I will send someone to invite the prince when the meal is ready." Mrs. Cheng said.
"Lord Wang, the concubine and sister left first, so they won't bother the prince." Mei Niang said.
"Go, go, go." Wei Han said impatiently.
"Sister, come with me." Mei Niang said to Mrs. Cheng.
Wei Han returned to the study and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, this little lady was really good-tempered, she was still looking forward to it day and night, she couldn't wait to see her, in order to see her earlier, she also planned to advance, this is good, I have been back home for a while, and I haven't come to see myself, it really makes people angry, Wei Han sat on the stool and sulked.
"Could it be that Su Zhenzhen is angry with herself, blaming herself for accepting another concubine in Yangcheng, so that's the case." Wei Han suddenly realized, almost forgot about this out, Wei Han suddenly dissipated the anger and incomprehension in his heart, and showed a smile, since this is the case, then go to her and make things clear to her, after all, after being separated for so long, the cold war is fine, Wei Han thought and walked to Su Zhenzhen's courtyard.
"Mei Niang, what did you do when you asked me to come over?" Mrs. Cheng asked.
"Sister, the prince has come back, but in my opinion, the prince still has thoughts about Su Zhenzhen's slut." Mei Niang reminded.
"I still have a longing for that cheap hoof...... "Mrs. Cheng shouted.
"Sister, what do you think, the prince will ignore the two of us when he comes back, his eyes are searching everywhere, could it be that he is looking for the one in the West Courtyard, it is unlikely, and the other one is still in the palace and has not come back, so according to my observation, the prince is looking for Su Zhenzhen, but it is no wonder that it has only been half a month, and it is normal for the prince to still have her in his heart." Mei Niang analyzed.
"No, if you don't say it, I really haven't paid much attention." Mrs. Cheng suddenly realized, Mrs. Cheng was a little funny.
"You can see something as stupid as you are, and when you see the prince, you come up, but the prince doesn't want to pay too much attention to you, and you really don't have any shame." Mei Niang looked at Mrs. Cheng's suddenly realized appearance and thought silently in her heart.
"If the prince asks, let's still talk about it according to what we said before."
"Okay, that's it."
"When the time comes, it will be said that Su Zhenzhen was messing with a man in the secret cabinet of the underground agency and was caught by us, so we discussed and decided to drive her out of the palace." Mei Niang said it in detail, I'm afraid that Mrs. Cheng will do something bad. Himself was implicated.
"Okay, you and I are so unified."
"Okay, sister, I'll go back first." Mei Niang's eyes flashed with viciousness.
"Let's go down." Mrs. Cheng smiled proudly.
"If you were so proud before, and now you are not driven out of the palace, your fate will be slowly forgotten, ruined, and life is worse than death." Mrs. Cheng was very happy.
Wei Han walked on the road to Su Zhenzhen's courtyard, but the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and there was always an ominous premonition in his heart, and when he walked here, he could hear the lively sound of Su Zhenzhen's courtyard, why was it so quiet now, Wei Han unconsciously quickened his pace, walked in, and saw three or two maids sitting idly in the courtyard.
"Slaves and maids see the prince." One of the maids said in panic when they saw Wei Han suddenly kneeling down. The other two immediately knelt down when they heard this.
Seeing this cold scene, Wei Han's uneasiness became even more serious, Wei Han ignored them, Wei Han quickly stepped into the house, "Zhen Zhen, this king is back." Wei Han shouted as soon as he entered, but the room was empty.
"Zhen Zhen ......" Wei Han shouted loudly, and suddenly panicked, no wonder the courtyard was so deserted, it turned out that Su Zhen was not there, looked at the display in the room, no one had touched for a while, there was a thin layer of dust on the table, Wei Han's eyes suddenly reddened.
"Say, where has the princess gone?" Wei Han yelled at the three people kneeling outside the door.
"Wang ...... The prince and the slave don't know either. One of the maids replied, her eyes dodging and not daring to look directly at Wei Han.
"Okay, if anything happens to the princess, this king will definitely not let you go." Wei Han threatened.
Seeing that they could not ask anything from their mouths, they turned and left.
"Call the butler to me, hurry up." Wei Han said to his secret guard.
"Yes."
"Lord Wang, are you looking for me?"
"Say, where did Su Zhenzhen go?" Wei Han asked straight to the point, his eyes were like a vicious poisonous snake, staring at the housekeeper as if he were staring at his prey.
"Wang ...... Lord Wang, the slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid have never seen Princess Su in the past few days. The butler's back was cold, and he couldn't speak.
Wei Han just stared at the housekeeper silently.
"Lord, the slave really doesn't know, and please ask the prince to know about this matter, the slave has nothing to do with it." The butler fell to his knees with a puff and replied tremblingly.
"Get out." Wei Han roared, then got up and walked out of the door, these subordinates didn't seem to be able to ask anything, Wei Han had to go to Mei Niang, before he left, let the palace be handed over to Mei Niang, let Mei Niang be in charge, so now Mei Niang should know the most about this matter.
"You go and call Mei Niang to the hall to the king, the king is waiting for her there, and by the way, call Mrs. Cheng too." Wei said indifferently.
"Yes, lord."
"See the princess, and ask the princess to come with me."
"Where to go?" Mei Niang asked.
"The prince said to ask the princess to look for him in the hall, where is he waiting for you, I will invite Mrs. Cheng over later, you go first."
"Concubine Ben knows, you don't have to go, I'll just call the maid to call." Mei Niang glanced at her maid after speaking, and the maid hurriedly walked out.
"Princess, please"
Mei Niang nodded and followed Wei Han's entourage.
"Princess, Mei Niang's maid is here."
"See her come in." Mrs. Cheng said.
