Chapter 39, the flower thief
Zhao Rongxian's face was cold, but there was a burning fire in his eyes, I looked at him in a daze, and I was so shocked that I forgot the pain for a while.
Zhao Rongxian: Where did he find out?
He didn't ask any more that day, but he believed me......
Could it be that he checked it in private?
At the time, he didn't believe it at all......
"Say, why do you drink dodge-ko soup? Where am I that I can't hold you back? Zhao Rongxian stuck his hands on my neck fiercely, and the next moment he suddenly shook his hand.
My back hit the bed board rawly, and it hurt my heart......
Seeing Zhao Rongxian getting closer and closer, my mind was almost blank, and I always felt that he would strangle me the next moment.
Zhao Rongxian rarely gets drunk on weekdays, but whenever he gets drunk, it must be because he can't say something when he is sober, so he has to use the wine.
Once upon a time, he almost killed me when I got drunk because I drank shunzi soup.
"Wang ...... Lord Wang, listen to me......" At this juncture, I didn't dare to yell at Zhao Rongxian.
The strong smell of alcohol on his body told me that if I provoked him again, it would only make him lose his mind.
I shuddered, and I stepped back again and again, so frightened that tears rolled out of my eyes.
"Lord, I'm ...... I just think that it is not suitable to have children at the moment, and if you have an extra child in your current situation, it will only be a trouble, child...... Children will only be a weakness ....... "I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
Zhao Rongxian seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his eyes were red, he stared at me stupidly, and laughed, "Really?" But how do I think, you are hating me, you don't want to have children with me at all. ”
"Bai Huanxi, don't I know you yet? You used to hate me so much that you wanted to kill your own children, and now you don't want to have my children because you hate me, what's so strange? Zhao Rongxian looked at me coldly.
Zhao Rongxian...... He knew it all along?
Yes, I hated him for many years, and I hated him until the day he ascended the throne, and I racked my brains to kill the fetus in my womb. At that time, I was already disgusted with him, even though I still loved him and hoped that he would be nicer to me. But because of the past, I don't dare to ask for it at all.
So I asked Jin Yu to ask for a pair of abortion pills for me, but before I could drink this medicine, Zhao Rongxian suddenly entered the door. He was very happy to tell me that he wanted to name the child, and that he would make the child in my womb the prince in the future, and then he said many sweet words to me, and sent for me many children's toys and clothes.
Seeing those little clothes, I couldn't give up the little life in my womb for a while.
I always thought that Zhao Rongxian didn't know......
But what about knowing? In the end, he didn't take my life with his own hands, but the life of his child.
Thinking about this, I was suddenly less afraid, but a little more resentful.
"It turns out that the prince has always known ......" I looked up at him coldly, and sneered, "but what if you know?" What if you ever wanted to stay? In the end, you didn't kill him for the sake of your beloved concubine, kill me! ”
"Lord Wang, you're right, I just hate you! So don't want to have kids with you! I sat up straight, and I didn't have the slightest fear, but I was right, and said resentfully, "It's better to never let the child be poisoned by his own father!" ”
After saying these words, my mood was much lighter.
On weekdays, I was always afraid that Zhao Rongxian would find out that I drank the avoidance soup, and I was worried all day long, but now that I have said everything, I feel better.
Zhao Rongxian didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard what I said, he was not as angry as Fang Cai, but looked at me silently.
I think he probably felt a little guilty and didn't want to get angry with me.
Because of such a big quarrel, I didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so I pushed him away, hugged the futon and went to the soft collapse in the room.
"Ah Huan, I didn't, I didn't want your life, let alone the child's life." As soon as I took two steps, Zhao Rongxian's somewhat sad voice came from behind.
Hehe, it's this sentence again. He replied that he didn't, but when I asked him, he never answered me, and even broke off the conversation repeatedly.
According to his Zhao Rongxian's temperament, if it wasn't for him, he would definitely tell the real murderer immediately.
But he didn't, not once.
Because he treats me so well now, I always tell myself over and over again not to look into the past, and I try not to think about it, I am afraid that what I hear is not the answer I want.
But now that it's been like this, I can't lie to myself.
I closed my eyes, looked back at him, and said word by word, "Zhao Rongxian, every time, you say that you don't, but when I ask you if you are really fierce, you can't say it." ”
"Don't tell me you don't know." Thinking of the past, I can't control my resentment towards Zhao Rongxian.
This time, Zhao Rongxian did not diverge as in the past, he lowered his head, his eyes flickered a little, "Yes...... It's Jiang Wan, Jiang Tang's sister-in-law......"
Jiang Wan? Zhao Rongxian's concubine at that time?
What reason does Jiang Wan have to harm me? Jiang Wan is the concubine of Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, her status is far inferior to her sister Jiang Tang, even if I die that day, it will not be her Jiang Wan who will sit in the back seat.
Besides, as far as I know, Jiang Wan and Jiang Tang have always been on the tip of the needle, and Jiang Wan even wished that her sister-in-law, who had recovered her senses overnight and stole her limelight, would die.
Naturally, she wouldn't hurt me in order to help her sister-in-law ascend to the back seat......
Moreover, although Jiang Wan often harms people, most of them are instructed by Zhao Rongxian, and she has seen Zhao Rongxian's ruthlessness and viciousness, and she never dares to do it easily.
What's more, I was still pregnant with a dragon fetus in my belly that day.
If he wants to say that it was a minister who killed me to make room for the princess of the neighboring country for the safety of the Northern Dynasty, I still believe it, but he said that it was Jiang Wan, and I couldn't believe half a word.
Could it be ......
"Dare to ask the prince, then what reason does Jiang Wan have to murder me? She is just a little concubine of the Jiang family, she has a world-famous sister in the past, and the powerful princess of Zhou Kingdom, even if she kills me, she will not get any benefits. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
"What's more, who is Jiang Wan? Jiang Wan is a knife in your hand, Your Majesty! "The more I talked, the more I became more and more skeptical, and at the end of the day, I didn't dare to think about it anymore.
I'm afraid that I will forget Zhao Rongxian's kindness to me now, hate him completely, and completely become as lifeless as in the past.
I looked at Zhao Rongxian with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "My Majesty, you tell me, without your permission, Jiang Wan, does she dare to do it?" ”
"Yes...... It's me ......" Zhao Rongxian was silent for a moment, seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, and said in a low voice, "It's me...... I asked Jiang Wan to poison you. But I also had no choice, you also know that the Zhou State was full of combat strength that day, and the Northern Dynasty had lost several cities one after another. The emperor of Zhou promised that as long as you died, as long as his daughter was rightfully seated as queen, he could collect his troops. But then ...... Later, I regretted it, it was Jiang Wan...... It was she who went against my will, and I didn't want to kill you at all. ”
"So...... It's really you, right? At this moment, the last vestiges of illusion in my heart were finally shattered.
Even though I had already guessed a few points, when he said it himself, I still felt extremely painful.
Good, good. Now I don't have to hesitate about anything, and I don't have to feel guilty about drinking the soup behind his back.
Zhao Rongxian's eyes were full of panic, he stammered, "Ah Huan, I didn't, and then I regretted it, it was Jiang Wan, she was the one who made the decision privately, I didn't know that the bowl of medicine was poisonous." She killed you, and I destroyed her whole people for you......"
Zhao Rongxian was full of drunkenness, and the words in his mouth became more and more blurred.
As he spoke, he reached out and hugged me, which was his usual method of coaxing me.
It used to be very useful, even a moment before I knew the answer.
But now, I suddenly feel that this hug is so terrible, and it makes me feel hypocritical and disgusting!
This is Zhao Rongxian, he is the most good at taking advantage of people, the most ruthless, and the most ...... Pass the buck.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that Jiang Wan was actually a poor person. She thought she could get his love by becoming his sword, but in the end, we were all just pawns in his hands.
But whenever something happens, it must be someone else who is wrong, and he Zhao Rongxian will always be helpless and have hardships.
At this moment, I really wanted to stab him to death.
But I knew I couldn't, I couldn't cost my family's life for the sake of a momentary rush.
"Lord, please give me a letter of resignation tomorrow." I slowly pushed him away and said with a smile, "The prince doesn't have to be afraid of forgetting after waking up, if you forget, the concubine will definitely remind you." ”
Zhao Rongxian didn't speak, he just looked at me in a daze, and the next moment he fell directly on the soft collapse.
I don't know if he really slept or pretended, but whether he was real or pretended, tomorrow when he wakes up, I will definitely remind him again, if it doesn't work tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month.
He always "comes to his senses".
The next day, when I woke up, Zhao Rongxian was gone.
I don't know where he went, and I don't bother to ask.
It was Du's mother, who took the initiative to tell me where Zhao Rongxian was going as soon as she entered the door.
"Princess, the prince went to Jiang Xiang's mansion today to discuss matters, and asked the old slave to tell you."
"Uh......" I didn't seem to care.
Seeing my expression, Mother Du suddenly became a little anxious, "Princess, what's wrong with you and the prince?" Last night...... How can it be so noisy? But is it because of the young master? ”
"No......" I stared at the disastrous face in the bronze mirror, expressionless, "Mother Du, there is no need to prepare the prince's meals in the future, and after a while, I will send a few people over to move the prince's belongings back to his yard." ”
Hearing this, Du's mother was startled, frowned and taught me, "Princess, what are you doing here?" How can there be a ...... between this husband and wife who do not quarrel?"
"Mother Du, this time is different from the past." Thinking that Zhao Rongxian actually wanted to kill me in the first place, and thinking of Zhao Rongxian's ruthlessness, I feel disgusted when I see his clothes now.
Even if he treated me well a few days ago, it became hypocritical at this moment.
If I used to be afraid of him, now I am scared and disgusted, and even the mention of his name makes me feel disgusting.
Mother Du didn't know the reason for this, and when she saw me say such a thing, she suddenly became anxious, and said urgently, "Princess, what difference can this be?" Husbands and wives will always quarrel, why do you think you are bothered? Now that the prince is in full swing, there are a lot of princes and nobles who come to propose marriage, you say that you are having trouble with the prince at this juncture, isn't this deliberately letting others take advantage of the loopholes? ”
Whoever loves to drill will know whether it is a hole or a grave.
Of course, I can't say this to Du's mother, and I can't explain anything.
I thought about it, and simply lied that Zhao Rongxian wanted to marry a famous and noble girl to attract nobles, and said that I would make room for people to know the general situation, and now I am following his will and sending everything back to him.
Mother Du was used to seeing Zhao Rongxian's favor with me, and she didn't believe it very much, but in the end, I got angry, and she immediately called a few people to come in and move it cleanly, and even the plum blossoms and lotus flowers sent by Zhao Rongxian were also moved.
In the evening, Zhao Rongxian came over.
As soon as I entered the door, he threw his clothes in front of me and asked me with a dark face, "Bai Huanxi, what do you mean?" ”
His eyes were full of rage, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Rongxian is like this, obviously the two of them have a quarrel, but as long as he is willing, he can act as if nothing happened.
I glanced at the clothes all over the floor, and my face was full of indifference, "What can you mean?" That is, what it means on the surface. ”
"Bai Huanxi, what are you doing here? You look like a princess doing something? ”
"Has the prince forgotten what happened last night?" I interrupted him coldly and said in a deep voice, "If the prince forgets, the concubine will help you remember your memories well......"
"Ah Huan, do you have to be like this?" Obviously, Zhao Rongxian has not forgotten.
Last night, he wasn't so drunk that he was unconscious. Zhao Rongxian is a person who is good at lying, but he is also a person, and he will be weak in the face of victims who have been hurt by him, especially in the face of it every day.
That's why he always told me the truth when he could lie.
But whether he lies or tells the truth, it doesn't matter anymore, now everything has nothing to do with me, I just want a letter of resignation, away from this man who will kill me for power and power for the sake of the world.
I glanced at him with a sneer, ignored his words, and said to myself, "I remember everything when I look at the prince's appearance, and even if this is the case, the concubine body doesn't need to be repeated." It's just that there is one thing that the concubine body needs to remind the prince again......"
"Please, prince, immediately give the concubine a letter of resignation. Grievances and grievances have been cleared from now on. ”
Zhao Rongxian did not speak with a dark face, it was obvious that he was unwilling.
As for why he didn't want to, I don't know, and I don't want to ask.
I thought about it, and then threatened him, "If the prince is unwilling, then the concubine has no choice but to inform your father of your close contact with Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, you also know that although there are some things that the emperor turns a blind eye to, but he is the most taboo for the prince to form a gang and form a faction for personal gain." If the prince wants to go to great lengths now, everything will be in vain, and the concubine will definitely be fulfilled......"
After living for two lifetimes, it was the first time that I threatened Zhao Rongxian with such a reasonable basis, and I even choked his seven inches.
Zhao Rong's face turned green with envy, and he opened his mouth to quarrel with me, but before the words could be spoken, he took it back stiffly.
He glanced at me deeply and sighed, "That's it, I won't be here for a few days, you should calm down and calm yourself." ”
Calm down?
As my husband, who wanted my life when I was pregnant, how can I calm down?
Even though I knew that he was indeed a little helpless at that time, and it was indeed for his world, I still couldn't forgive him after all.
Even though I knew he regretted it later, I still couldn't get over that hurdle in my heart.
I even think that maybe he will ask for my life again for the sake of the other thing in the future......
In short, if I sit in this position for a long time, I will most likely lose my life, and perhaps the lives of my whole family.
"Mother Du, you pack up your things, and tomorrow when the prince is away, we will go back to the Bai family." The more I thought about it, the more I had a headache, and after thinking about it, I felt that I still couldn't sit still like this.
He didn't give me a divorce, so I moved back to my parents' house, and after a long time, he would feel ashamed when he came, and secondly, his feelings would fade, and he would always give me a divorce.
Three days later, when Zhao Rongxian was called to the palace by the emperor, I immediately put all the prepared luggage on the carriage, and hurried to the White Mansion at noon.
Seeing me go home, my mother was very surprised, and at the same time very happy, but when she saw my luggage, she was not very happy, frowned, and pulled me into the house and said, "Ah Huan, how can you come back with time today, why do you still bring so much luggage?" Quarreled with the prince? ”
"No, I just feel that I haven't been feeling well lately, and the grandmothers in the palace are not serving well, so I want to come back and let Mama Li take care of my daughter for a while, mother, you also know that I like Mama Li the most since I was a child." I smiled calmly, and there was no sign of a quarrel.
Naturally, I didn't dare to tell the truth to my mother, and Mother Du was afraid that my mother would worry, so naturally she didn't dare to say it easily.
My mother saw that Du's mother nodded at her, so she believed it.
So he asked me where I was uncomfortable, and I casually made up a few inconsequential ones, and finally coaxed my mother over.
When I returned home, I couldn't see Zhao Rongxian, and I couldn't see anything related to Zhao Rongxian, so I felt much more comfortable.
But in the evening, I felt uncomfortable, because Zhao Rongxian sent someone to spread the word, saying that there were many eunuchs who wanted to marry their daughters to my brother, and dragged him to be a matchmaker, asking what my father's opinion was.
My mother was naturally very happy, she was smiling so much that her face was about to bloom, and she said to Liang Feng who came to pass the word, "Okay, very good, Lord Liang, who are the people who come to the door to propose marriage?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the prefect of the beneficial state, the household servant, and what kind of criminal department is still the book, there are a lot of them, I can't remember them." Liang Feng won the true biography of Zhao Rongxian, and coaxed people to talk as if he had smeared honey, obviously there were not many, but he made him say as if the eunuchs of Chang'an City had taken a fancy to my brother.
My mother made him very happy, and repeatedly praised Zhao Rongxian for being a good son-in-law, not only treating me well, but also finding such good relatives for my brother, and now I don't know who to choose.
Hehe, the reason why my brother has received so much love before he enters the ranks is obviously because he is both talented and good-looking? In my previous life, when I had a bad relationship with Zhao Rongxian, there were still many eunuchs who came to propose marriage, but the lobbyist they were looking for was the third prince.
Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Rongxian, he is good, he actually took the opportunity to take all the credit on himself, it is really shameless.
I suddenly had a fire in my belly, and I was angry even when I saw Liang Feng.
"Mother, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back to the house and rest first......"
"Princess Niangniang, the prince also asked his subordinates to pass a message to you." I was just about to leave when Liang Feng suddenly called out to me.
To be honest, now that I hear Liang Feng's voice, I am also very uncomfortable, so I don't give him a good look.
I didn't look at him, and said coldly, "What does the prince want to say to me?" ”
"Say when you have stayed enough at your mother's house, send someone back and tell him that he will come to pick you up in person, and you can't get down the stairs, so I'm embarrassed to go back by myself...... "He ...... Didn't he tell my mother nakedly, did I quarrel with Zhao Rongxian?
Sure enough, the next moment, my mother immediately cast a suspicious look at me.
As soon as Liang Feng left, she immediately asked me with a dark face, "Ah Huan, what's going on?" Didn't you say there was no quarrel? ”
That is...... casually quarreled a few words...... "It's all said and done, and it's hard for me to hide anything, besides, what Liang Feng said is so naked, I can't hide it even if I want to."
I sighed, stammered and explained, "Mother, it's really a little noise, I just want to come back and calm down, and I don't mean anything else." ”
It's okay if I don't explain, but as soon as I explained, I was immediately scolded by my mother, saying that I was willful and reckless, and that I would go back tomorrow.
I argued with her for a few words, and she simply pulled my father along and said that her good son-in-law was bullied by me and became like that, how could she quarrel with me, saying that I must be pampered and arrogant.
In short, Zhao Rongxian's image of a good husband and son-in-law has been ingrained in their hearts, and I am just a fool!
Early one morning the next day, my mother swept me out of the house.
"Jin Yu, I think let's go to the guest house!" I thought about it and decided to go to the inn for the time being, in the end I still have a lot of silver taels on me, and there is nothing difficult to live for a year and a half.
But Jin Yu was not very happy, she was a little panicked and said, "Princess, this is not good, have you heard that there has been a flower thief in Chang'an City recently, and the daughters of General Li's family have been poisoned...... Why don't we go back to the palace. ”
Flower thief, yes, I remember, in my last life, there was a flower thief in Chang'an City, who destroyed flowers with his hot hands and destroyed several girls in a row!
If I remember correctly, tonight, the girl of the Cao family, Cao Jinse, was poisoned, and under the grief and anger, the girl Cao committed suicide on the spot, and when Sun Duli, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was in charge of the case, arrived, he only saw the corpse of the girl of the Cao family.
In the end, it is a human life, and it is always impossible to ignore it......
I thought about it for a while, and immediately instructed Jin Yu, "Jin Yu, let the coachman turn around and go to Dali Temple." ”
