Zhao Rongxian Fanwai 9: The East Window Incident
She always blushes easily, and her eyebrows and eyes are cute.
Her cuteness has always been genuine.
Zhao Rongxian likes her blushing face the most, and he also likes the ease of being with her the most.
At this moment, Zhao Rongxian suddenly realized that this woman was becoming more and more important in his heart.
Before, he only thought he pitied her.
But at this moment, he realized that the woman in front of him was different in his heart.
It's not the same as the ones in his house......
She has no family background, and she is used by the queen to insult him, in fact, he has many opportunities to divorce him, but every time, he uses the queen to trouble him as an excuse, so that he can keep her by his side again and again.
Zhao Rongxian looked down at the woman's reddened little face, gently took her into his arms, and said, "There are more things in the court these days, and in the past few days, this king will come over less." ”
Yes, there are a lot of things going on in the court these days.
He had to be busy playing games with her brother......
When he came, Zhao Rongxian had already figured out how to tell him, but in the end, he still couldn't say it.
On this day, Zhao Rongxian stayed in Qinghui Courtyard for a long time.
Just like a normal husband and wife, they gossip with her, discuss with her what to name their children, and eat with her.
Although she is pregnant, she still loves to cook.
When he came, she cooked it herself, and she couldn't stop it.
Zhao Rongxian had a serious meal with this wife for the first time, she always put vegetables in his bowl and told him that this one was delicious and that one should go to the fire......
When I came out of Qinghui Temple, it was already the second day.
As soon as he went out, Zhao Rongxian saw Liang Feng hurriedly walking towards him.
Liang Feng's entire brow was furrowed, and seeing Liang Feng's expression, he knew that he was afraid that something bad was about to happen.
Zhao Rongxian glanced behind him slightly, and motioned for Liang Feng to come to the study to speak.
"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Liang Feng's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, "Then the eldest prince of the Bai family really did it, you see how to deal with it." ”
Hands-on?
Zhao Rongxian's mood was a little complicated, before this he actually had a glimmer of hope, he hoped that the eldest son of the Bai family would be able to rein in.
Can the other party ...... After all, I did it.
It's no wonder he is.
Zhao Rongxian closed his eyes and said coldly, "According to the original plan." ”
Liang Feng frowned, "If, according to the original plan, this matter will inevitably fall on King Jin." King ...... Jin will inevitably push everything onto the eldest son of the Bai family, at that time, the Bai family will inevitably be raided, the whole family will be assigned to the border, and few of the civil officials who will be assigned there will come back alive. Once convicted, I am afraid that the crown princess will not be spared. ”
Yes, there are a few civil officials who are sent to the border who can endure the bitter cold.
Especially if you still wear a sinful body, you will inevitably be embarrassed.
How could Zhao Rongxian not know this, but in the current situation, if he didn't make a move, he would be the one who was responsible.
He didn't want to get to this point, and he didn't want to let this matter become a mustard between him and her.
But he has no way out, King Jin is pressing forward step by step, and he must fight back.
Zhao Rongxian was silent for a moment, and said coldly, "Just go as planned, don't let the crown princess know about this matter for the time being." The crown princess is here, and the king will deal with it. ”
She is his wife, and he naturally won't let her be implicated.
Besides, now that she is pregnant, no matter what happens to the Bai family, with the child in her womb, he can justifiably protect her.
Liang Feng reminded him a few times, and when he saw that his master was so resolute, he didn't say anything more.
He has always respected his master, but he is afraid that he will regret some things he has done in the future.
Now that the master is so sure, he naturally obeys.
He said yes and turned away.
Looking at Liang Feng's back as he walked away, Zhao Rongxian's mood became heavier and heavier.
He knew very well that if something happened to the Bai family, he could only hide it for a while, and the paper would not be able to contain the fire after all, and one day, she would still know.
It's just that if he doesn't do this, he may be the one who goes to the guillotine......
Zhao Rongxian turned around and returned to the study, staring blankly at the official document in his hand for a long time.
The next plan went very smoothly.
The King of Jin, who originally framed him for being corrupt and perverted the law, failed to harm him, but instead leaked out of his own feet, and the official silver for disaster relief was carried to his subordinates' private houses one by one.
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered that the king of Jin be demoted to a commoner.
However, as expected, King Jin really pulled the eldest son of the Bai family as a substitute for the dead ghost.
The Bai family was raided, and the whole family of more than a dozen people was sent to the border.
There was a commotion in Chang'an City, but the entire palace was sealed to death by Zhao Rongxian.
His wife, who didn't know anything, saw that the fetus in her womb was growing day by day, she was smiling every day, and she was much bolder than she had ever been in the past, and she would come to the South Courtyard from time to time to look for him.
On this day, Zhao Rongxian stayed up all night to review the official documents, and she brought him supper as before.
It's just that this time, she came in person.
As soon as Zhao Rongxian raised his head, he saw her leading Mother Du and standing at the door with a smile, "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Come in, right? It's so windy outside, why do you wear so little? Looking her clothes up and down, Zhao Rongxian felt that she was dressed too thinly.
The woman shook her head and walked up to him with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't understand, when you are pregnant, your body temperature will be higher, so the concubine doesn't feel cold." ”
"Well, you went out of your way to learn some common sense?" He put down the official document and walked towards her with gentle eyes, but his mouth was teasing.
Hearing his words, the woman was really angry, "Prince, you are still making fun of the concubine." ”
"Bengong has made fun of you, you have always thought about it yourself, okay, come in and sit for a while. Let this palace see what you have done again......" Zhao Rongxian said, and pulled her to sit on the chair next to her.
Lately, she had always come to the South Courtyard, so he had someone make a felt to make her warmer when she sits.
She has always been very well-behaved, and when he pulled her like this, she immediately sat obediently next to her.
He took his hand and shook it again, and said, "Today's cooking is Sydney stewed pigeon, it tastes good!" ”
"yes, then I'll try ......"
"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Zhao Rongxian picked up the bowl and just wanted to taste it, when Liang Feng's voice came from outside.
"Come in." Zhao Rongxian's expression suddenly became serious, he never delayed his official business.
When the woman sitting next to her saw this, she immediately got up and saluted him gently, "If the prince has something, the concubine will retreat first." ”
"Go back, rest for your life." Zhao Rongxian touched her head, full of pampering.
When Liang Feng came in, he happened to pass by him.
Liang Feng's face was not very good-looking, and seeing that the woman was walking away, he replied to Zhao Rongxian, "His Royal Highness the Prince, something happened." ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao Rongxian glanced slightly in the direction where the woman left, and motioned for Liang Feng to close the door.
Liang Feng turned around and closed the door, and then walked in front of Zhao Rongxian again, his face was more ugly than bitter melon.
stammered, "Something happened to the Bai family......
"What happened to the Bai family?"
"The little son of the Bai family...... Nope. Liang Feng's voice became smaller and smaller, "The little son of the Bai family fell ill before he reached the border, and when he arrived at the border, there were no more people." ”
The little son of the Bai family died? Is her brother dead?
He knew that she loved her brother the most. If she knew......
Zhao Rongxian's heart was shocked, almost a little angry, "Isn't it for people to take care of?" How could it be gone? ”
"The little boy of the Bai family was infected with the plague, coupled with his young age, and he was not accustomed to the water and soil, so he never woke up when he lay down." Liang Feng's face was white, and he was sincerely afraid, "There is one more thing...... The seventh elder of the Wei family has returned, he was unwilling to cooperate with the treatment back then, but now he can't stand up, and he is much older......"
Is...... Misfortune doesn't go alone......
Zhao Rongxian's heart suddenly panicked, because he knew that if the seventh elder of the Wei family dared to come back, he must have found a backer, and he would not be ...... Maybe it's going to be in front of her.
Zhao Rongxian closed his eyes and tried his best to restrain his emotions, "Liang Feng, you are keeping an eye on the seventh elder of the Wei family, and you definitely can't let her see the crown princess." Also, in a few days, the matter in the hands of the third brother will fall into the hands of the palace, and the palace will leave Chang'an City for more than ten days, and you can help take care of it in this house. ”
"Yes......" Liang Feng nodded as always.
After saying that, Liang Feng immediately retreated.
Zhao Rongxian went back and forth in the southern courtyard twice, her heart was very unsteady, now that there are so many things, she is pregnant again, if he leaves, she may not be victimized.
Although Liang Feng was there, the women in the house did not dare to poison them, but Liang Feng couldn't control their mouths.
He knows how vicious Wei Shuxian is, and he knows how vicious Jiang Wan is.
As for the concubine of the Jiang family, she doesn't like to be in charge......
Zhao Rongxian's heart was extremely uneasy, and when she was leaving, she specially instructed the housekeeper in the house to take care of her more, so she left Chang'an City with confidence.
His third brother King Jin made a mess, Zhao Rongxian was very busy on the first day he arrived, and then he was even more busy every day, and when he finally returned to Chang'an City, he was three days later than the original trip.
He traveled day and night, and rushed back impatiently.
However, halfway through the road, he received a letter from Liang Feng.
Said she had a slippery tire......
also said that several servants around her were beaten to death by Jiang Chengxiang because they offended Prime Minister Jiang.
The most terrible thing is that she knew that the Bai family was exiled, and knew that her brother died, and she also saw the seventh child of the Wei family......
Zhao Rongxian once thought that he would get everything he wanted when he sat on the throne of the crown prince, but at this moment he realized that he had lost his ...... when he climbed to that position. But there's more.
On the way back, Zhao Rongxian was extremely flustered.
He didn't know how to explain it all when he saw her, and he didn't even know how to face him.
Back in the house, it was already late at night, and it should have been quiet.
However, as soon as he entered the door, Jiang and Wei greeted him, Wei smiled flatteringly, and wanted to pull his arm, "Your Highness, you are finally back, the concubine has made bird's nest for you, you will definitely taste it in a while." ”
"Outside ......"
"Where has the crown princess gone?" Zhao Rongxian swept around, but did not see the delicate figure.
The Wei family next to him listened to his question, and immediately became a little unhappy, "The prince is so biased, as soon as he enters the door, he asks the princess, and he doesn't ask if the concubine is doing well, and the concubine thinks of the prince......"
"Bengu asked where the crown princess went? But in Qinghui Temple? Zhao Rongxian shook off the Wei family and looked at the housekeeper with a cold gaze, "Why didn't the crown princess come to greet her, and where did Liang Feng go?" ”
The housekeeper's face was full of fear, and he stumbled, "Return...... Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess was not feeling well and was resting in the house. Lord Liang was called to the palace by His Majesty early in the morning, saying that he had an errand for him......"
What the?
Liang Feng is his retainer, but his official position is not high, so it is said that the emperor should not look for him if he has something.
Isn't it, someone blew the wind on the pillow for his father, and deliberately broke Liang Feng away.
The reason why his crown princess met the seventh child of the Wei family was all manipulated by the Wei family, and Liang Feng had already told him these things in his heart.
Bai Huanxi ......
Thinking back and forth, Zhao Rongxian suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He didn't have time to change his clothes, so he turned around and was about to go to Qinghui Courtyard.
"Your Highness...... Your Highness, they have boiled bird's nest for you......" Wei saw that he was leaving, and immediately followed, as if he was afraid that he would find something.
"Get out of here!" Zhao Rongxian scolded angrily, and almost ran to Qinghui Courtyard.
At that time, Qinghui Courtyard was dark, deserted, and there was not even a maid.
He remembered that although Prime Minister Jiang killed her cronies, several maids in the courtyard did not move.
How can there be no one at this time?
Zhao Rongxian's heart trembled, stumbled inside, groped and went to the inner room.
"Ah Huan...... Ah Huan ......" Zhao Rongxian shouted a few times, lifted the lantern and took a photo, the room was empty......
Where will she go? She's still hurt, where can she go?
It's not that Wei slut who hurt her!
Zhao Rongxian's eyes were red, and he was a little scared for a while.
"Someone! Someone! He shouted loudly, and in a few moments all the maids in the courtyard appeared.
Several of his concubines also heard the sound, and Wei asked him with a concerned face, "What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"Where has the crown princess gone?" Zhao Rongxian didn't bother to pay attention to Wei's pretense at the moment, and he didn't look at Wei, and said fiercely to a few maids, "This palace asked you where the princess went, why didn't you speak?" Are they all dumb? ”
The maids had never seen Zhao Rongxian so fierce, and they had never looked down on the lowly master in the house.
I didn't serve the princess much on weekdays, and I didn't expect the prince to care so much about the princess.
One by one, they trembled with fright, knelt on the ground, and cried and lied at the moment, "Slave, slave and maid, slave and maid don't know, the princess is still there......"
Zhao Rongxian has lived in the royal struggle since he was a child, and he can't see the thoughts of these maids.
If it weren't for the lack of time now, he would definitely kill these cheap slaves right away!
"Come on, drag these cheap maids down to the palace! All the canes blame the thirty boards and shut them in the firewood room! Zhao Rongxian commanded sharply, and immediately ordered all the people in the house to go out to look for it.
As soon as Wei heard that the Wu Ding of the nursing home in the house had gone to find someone, he was not happy for a while, and cried and said that there was no nursing home in the house in the middle of the night, so how could it be good, and he had to let Zhao Rongxian accompany her.
In the past, this woman pestered herself, and Zhao Rongxian could still be polite to her because of the help of the Wei family.
But at this moment, seeing her actions, Zhao Rongxian instantly disliked her to the extreme.
"Concubine Wei, if you entangle again, the crown princess has three long and two short, and you will pay for it with your life!" Zhao Rongxian glared at her fiercely, "Get out!" ”
Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, and withdrew his hand tremblingly.
Although she wanted to drag out the time and let the woman die quickly, she still cherished her little life.
She had never seen Zhao Rongxian so fierce, and she had never been so angry by Zhao Rongxian.
Her hands trembled violently, and she looked at the man's distant figure with hatred.
Her dignified Miss Shangshu Mansion, what is inferior to that slut?
Wei was very angry, but Zhao Rongxian said such cruel words, and she didn't dare to be too arrogant, so she had to go back to her courtyard with a scolding.
At this moment, Zhao Rongxian rode a horse and led the soldiers all the way out.
At this time, it was late at night, and the road was dark, and there were almost no people to see except for the watch.
Zhao Rongxian's heart was extremely scared, he searched the entire mansion and couldn't find her, and he didn't know, where could she run to in the middle of the night?
Will she ...... Will you go home?
Thinking like this, Zhao Rongxian immediately rushed to the Bai family, but after walking a few steps, he was still unsure, and he was even more apprehensive.
"It's dry, be careful of the candle ......"
That's ...... in front Dresser?
Zhao Rongxian's eyes were full of anxiety, and he immediately instructed the nurse next to him, "Go and call that watchman over and ask him if he knows where the princess is." ”
The watchman made a big fight, but he was caught in front of Zhao Rongxian for no reason.
I was frightened for a while, and as soon as I came up, I knelt down, "Big Song, the small one is just a dresser, and the small one has no money......"
"Who wants your money? Let me ask you, have you ever seen a lady who looks white and clean, probably so tall, in her early twenties......" Zhao Rongxian gestured, his eyes full of nervousness.
When the dresser heard that it was not a robbery, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I just saw a lady, dressed in white, fluttering all the way, I thought I had seen a ghost......
"Where did she go?" Seeing that the beater seemed to be chattering, Zhao Rongxian immediately interrupted him, his tone fierce and cold.
The watchman trembled slightly, didn't dare to talk nonsense, pointed to the front and said, "Go ...... Went in the direction of the moat......"
Moat, can't she think about it?
Zhao Rongxian's heart trembled, and in a panic, he rode his horse in the direction of the moat.
In the distance, he saw a white shadow, how dazzling the white clothes were in the middle of the night.
And her back, he has always been recognizable at a glance.
The cold wind was bitter, her thin white clothes were blown away, and the woman stumbled onto the edge of the moat.
"Child, it's my mother who is sorry for you."
"Yuanbao, it's my sister who is sorry for you, it's my sister who is dragging you down."
"Mother Du, it's me I'm sorry for you, it's me...... I can't protect you. ”
"Maybe, I shouldn't have married into royalty in the first place. It's me...... I'm the one who dragged you down......"
She cried hysterically, and the delicate figure stood trembling on it.
"Ah ......" Zhao Rongxian wanted to call her, but he felt that if he opened his mouth, she would immediately fall into the moat.
Now that it's cold and it's late at night, if she jumps, she'll definitely die!
Zhao Rongxian didn't dare to make a sound, he approached cautiously, hugged the woman's waist, and dragged her down unexpectedly.
When the woman saw that it was him, she became even more hysterical.
"You let go of me! You let go of me! She went crazy and slapped him desperately, her beautiful eyes were now full of tears, and her little face was frighteningly pale.
In her voice, there was unprecedented despair.
"Ah Huan, listen to me, everything will pass, okay?" Zhao Rongxian's hands trembled violently, he held back his emotions, and even dragged the woman to the horse.
She was obviously very afraid of riding a horse, but at this moment, she was not afraid at all, and she was still struggling frantically on horseback.
She's ...... Iron-hearted to seek death?
Zhao Rongxian took the other party into his arms, almost using all his strength.
Although the woman screamed very strongly, she was a weak woman after all, and she was no match for him at all.
All the way to the house, he hugged the woman again.
She was much quieter at the moment, but it was quietly terrifying, her eyes were empty, and there was no expression on her face.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Rongxian's heart hurt for a while, and he felt that his heart was dripping blood.
If he had realized that she was important to him, then, at this moment, he realized that she was already a part of him that he couldn't let go.
If she's gone, he thought...... He won't survive.
Holding the woman into Qinghui Courtyard, he gently put her on the bed.
The woman was still expressionless, just sitting on the bed blankly......
Zhao Rongxian didn't dare to leave a step, he was afraid that as soon as he left, this woman would seek death.
He took a deep breath, carefully sat down beside her, and said softly, "Ah Huan, everything will pass." Only by living will everything be better, and I will be with you......"
"I can't get by, I can't live for the rest of my life...... she interrupted him coldly, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of hatred, "Mother Du is dead, my brother is dead, my cousin's leg is also disabled, my ...... My kids don't have ......."
She trembled and glared at him fiercely, "I hate you, I hate you!" ”
"Ah Huan ......"
"If you don't like me, you divorce me! Why bother my family like this? Why do you have to treat me like this......" she interrupted him, her eyes mad and cold.
Zhao Rongxian knew that the matter of the seventh child of the Wei family would make her hate him sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this matter would break out at this juncture.
Now she is only afraid to think that everything is caused by him, and even, because of his poor treatment of her in previous years, she has to think that he has been hypocritical all these days......
Coupled with the Wei family and the Jiang family, she was afraid that she would kill him.
"Ah Huan, no matter what you think, I have to tell you that I never thought of harming you, nor did I think of harming your family." If it weren't for the other party's insistence on forcing him to the train of thought, he would never have done it.
Before that, he didn't expect that her brother would die.
Zhao Rongxian slowly stretched out his hand, gently hugged her into his arms, and whispered, "Huan'er, if you want to cry, cry out, I will accompany you." ”
Zhao Rongxian thought that the woman would struggle, but she didn't move, and suddenly laughed, "No...... It's not your fault, it's my fault, I shouldn't have clinged, I shouldn't have sat in the position of this concubine. It was I who killed the ingots, if it weren't for the Jiang family's jealousy of me, the Jiang family would ...... The Jiang family would not have framed his brother, if it weren't for ......"
She buried herself in his arms, tears soaking his clothes.
