Chapter 20: The Hatred of the Peerless Beauty (Part II)
However, paper can't contain fire after all.
In an accident, Yi Dieyi finally knew that Liu Zeqing once wanted to take her as a concubine, and guessed why her father and mother suddenly decided to move the family south that day.
Knowing the cause of the matter, Yi Dieyi immediately became extremely complicated, and it turned out that the root cause of all these evil things was actually caused by the righteous father who thought he had great kindness to him.
Yi Dieyi locked herself in the room for a day and didn't go out, and she didn't talk to anyone, suddenly she kept recalling the whole thing in her mind, and her heart moved, and she saw some flaws in it, the matter of the thieves was too coincidental, and when they appeared, they didn't ask for money at all, and rushed up to slash and kill, which didn't conform to common sense at all, and in combination with Liu Zeqing's personality, a bold guess came out.
Yi Dieyi was immediately frightened by her own speculation, she suspected that all this was designed by her so-called father-in-law Liu Zeqing, and with her attention, Yi Dieyi accidentally discovered that there was someone secretly monitoring her in this mansion, presumably it should have been sent by Liu Zeqing, which suddenly deepened her speculation.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Yi Dieyi began to hide all her emotions quietly, pretending that nothing had happened, and secretly trying to find out the truth of the matter.
Liu Zeqing's side, because of his own purpose, coupled with the itchy appearance of Yi Dieyi, in order to please Yi Dieyi, he almost responded to Yi Dieyi's request, which was better than his own daughter.
This can arouse the jealousy of Liu Zeqing's biological daughter, knowing that she doesn't dare to trouble Yi Dieyi, but secretly keeps saying bad things about Yi Dieyi, the reason why Yi Dieyi knows that Liu Zeqing originally wanted to accept her as a concubine is from the mouth of Liu Zeqing's daughter.
Hard work pays off, and finally after a period of time, Yi Dieyi knew that Liu Zeqing had mountain bandits in various parts of Shandong, and what was even more unfortunate was that Yi Dieyi once saw a mountain bandit leader who participated in the killing of her whole family in Liu's mansion that day, such a person was able to enter and exit Liu Zeqing's mansion safely, and in an instant Yi Dieyi determined everything, it turned out that his whole family was murdered by Liu Zeqing, because of his appearance, it was ridiculous that he even recognized the thief as his father, But what he didn't recognize was a complete beast.
Yi Dieyi wept bitterly, and shed tears all night.
Deeply hated, in order to avenge the whole family, Yi Dieyi chose to endure everything, pretending not to know anything, clearly regarding Liu Zeqing as a reborn parent, usually almost obedient to Liu Zeqing, but secretly looking for an opportunity to take revenge, but she is a weak woman, how can she get revenge.
Liu Zeqing didn't know that Yi Dieyi already knew all this, in order to train Yi Dieyi into a real peerless beauty, Liu Zeqing found a few dancers and began to teach Yi Dieyi to sing and dance, and also called it a beautiful name to relieve Yi Dieyi's boredom, in fact, he was thinking about who to give it to in exchange for greater benefits after the training was successful.
Is it to send it to the powerful of the current dynasty to find a favorable backer, or to send it directly to the emperor to make the emperor happy.
With a heart, Yi Die knew Liu Zeqing's thoughts from Liu Zeqing's daughter's mouth, and after thinking about it, she immediately had the idea of revenge, that is, to borrow the hands of others, only people with greater power than Liu Zeqing can destroy Liu Zeqing.
Whether Liu Zeqing gave her to the powerful people in the court or the emperor, she had the opportunity to denounce the evil things committed by Liu Zeqing and let the court kill Liu Zeqing.
With a goal, Yi Dieyi remained silent and concentrated on practicing singing and dancing, striving to meet Liu Zeqing's requirements, so as to wait for Liu Zeqing to give her away.
But to Yi Dieyi's disappointment, in just one or two months, an accident happened, Liu Zeqing didn't think about who to give Yi Dieyi to, and Li Zicheng's eastward expedition to Beijing City happened, and it was also in just one or two months, Li Zicheng was like a bamboo, first broke Taiyuan, then broke Ningwu Pass, and then returned to the city to besiege Beijing.
Emperor Chongzhen originally ordered Liu Zeqing to lead his troops to relieve the siege of the capital, but Liu Zeqing saw that Li Zicheng was so powerful, and he was just a total of tens of thousands of troops in Shandong, how could he confront Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, wouldn't it be in vain to send him to death, thinking that the capital was almost unbearable, and Emperor Chongzhen had no way to take him, so he directly resisted the decree and pretended to be injured by falling from a horse and didn't go.
Later, the capital was really broken by Li Zicheng, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and changed the dynasty all of a sudden, as the so-called country can not be without a king for a day, the crown prince Zhu Cihong did not have a whereabouts at that time, and was surrounded by Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, the Ming relics in Jiangnan did not have any hope for this, just wanted to find a suitable prince in Jiangnan to inherit the unification, which led to the dispute between King Fu and King Lu.
Liu Zeqing decisively chose the shallow-rooted King Fu, and united the other three general soldiers to support King Fu, but he didn't expect to be succeeded by them in the end.
At this moment, Liu Zeqing immediately became an upstart in the court, just waiting for King Fu to ascend the throne, he could be crowned a marquis with the merits of supporting Li, at that time, where was he still needed to slap others, but it was the turn of others to slap him.
At this moment, there is no need to send the beauty, Liu Zeqing is very happy, and is thinking about finding a time to have a showdown with Yi Dieyi, and completely confining Yi Dieyi, usually looking at Yi Dieyi with a different expression, with a bright meaning.
Yi Dieyi noticed all this, desperate in her heart, thinking that revenge might be hopeless, but she still wouldn't give up until the last moment, but she also secretly decided that if Liu Zeqing didn't act rashly, she would wait for the opportunity as usual, but once Liu Zeqing dared to use force on her, then she would immediately bite her tongue and commit suicide, and she would not let Liu Zeqing insult her death.
The hard work finally paid off, God did not despair to the end, or let her wait for the opportunity to take revenge, Liu Zeqing actually decided to give her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who suddenly appeared, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor.
Thinking of Liu Zeqing's request, she wanted her to drag His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to live in Shandong for a few more days. Yi Dieyi sneered, she had already seen through Liu Zeqing's character, thinking of the time when King Fu ascended the throne that she had intentionally explored, she still didn't understand what Liu Zeqing wanted to do, and she couldn't wait for King Fu to succeed in ascending the throne, Liu Zeqing still wanted to kill His Royal Highness the Prince.
There is no doubt that Yi Dieyi is an extremely smart girl, and she suddenly thought about Liu Zeqing's true intentions, and she is really a rare strange woman.
Yi Dieyi believes that once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learns of Liu Zeqing's plan, he will do everything possible to kill Liu Zeqing.
Although Yi Dieyi was not sure whether the prince really had the ability to kill Liu Zeqing, but when things got to this point, she could only give it a go, and the big deal was just death. Originally, because her relationship brought bad luck to the family, she deserved to die, if she couldn't avenge her family, what would she do if she was still alive, she should have gone to Huangquan Road to ask her father and mother for forgiveness.
Yi Dieyi pressed the hatred in her heart, restrained all her emotions, and silently waited for Liu Zeqing to arrange for her to be sent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she could not have any exposure until the goal was achieved.
Half an hour later, Liu Zeqing really didn't have any doubts and sent someone to arrange to send Yi Dieyi to the post house where Zhu Cihong rested, along the way, Yi Dieyi's breathing was slightly short, her heart beat faster, she hadn't really contacted the prince, she didn't know what His Royal Highness the prince's personality was, and I didn't know if the prince would believe what she said, if not----
It is said that Zhu Cihong was full of food and drink, and returned to the post house to rest accompanied by the eunuch Zhao Dequan. In the post house, Zhu Cihong shook his head a little drowsy, it seemed that he had drunk too much wine and was greedy for a cup and harming people.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to bathe and rest first?" Zhao Dequan asked.
"Of course, you go and prepare hot water." I haven't taken a bath for a few days, and when Zhao Dequan mentioned it, Zhu Cihong felt itchy all over, and if he didn't take a bath, he was afraid that he would not be comfortable sleeping.
"Okay, the slave maid will go and call Lanxiang Begonia to come over and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bathe." Zhao Dequan said, and was about to quit.
"Slow, the queen mother also needs someone to serve, let Lanxiang Begonia stay there, you don't need to call them over to serve first, this prince is not so hypocritical." Zhu Cihong said undoubtedly.
In fact, the most important thing is that all the way down, the two little palace maids of Lanxiang and Begonia have long been exhausted, Zhu Cihong is in his eyes, in the end they are just two young girls, although it is very comfortable to rub her back with her delicate little hands, but for the sake of her two usually well-behaved and obedient, Zhu Cihong still can't bear to enslave them like this.
After taking a bath, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a lot more refreshed, and the wine was also a lot sober.
"You go out first, Prince Ben wants to be quiet alone."
"The slave obeys." Zhao Dequan retreated and closed the door with his hand.
Zhu Cihong stood by the window and was slightly stunned, now Liu Zongmin is stationed in Bazhou, and he will always capture Cangzhou in Hejian and go south to Shandong, the situation in the Ming Dynasty seems to have shifted because of his arrival, after all, it was not Liu Zongmin but Li Jin who was stationed in the army at this time in history, and there was no him, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, who fled all the way to Shandong.
History has begun to change quietly, and in the future, he may not be able to lay out the layout with reference to the historical process in his memory, and can only rely on his own judgment.
Saying that Liu Zeqing is not a good person in any case, Zhu Cihong always faintly felt that Liu Zeqing seemed to be planning something that was very unfavorable to him, and thought of a clue, but he couldn't be confirmed.
Zhu Cihong sighed slightly, he decided that no matter what, he must leave the southeast of Shandong and go to Jiangnan as soon as possible within a day or two, in case there are any unforeseen changes in Jiangnan.
