Chapter 273 is in dire straits
Her tone is slow, unhurried, and she looks very comfortable and moves gracefully.
The concubine in the palace is the only daughter of a first-class protector general, and she has grown up with glory and wealth since she was a child. As soon as he entered the palace, he was favored by the emperor and directly sealed his concubine.
Guan Ran still lowered his head and looked respectful.
Liu Chang held Nanci's jade arm, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, showing that he was in a good mood.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Luoshui to play."
Hearing this, Nan Cidai frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, state affairs must not be wasted." Didn't you play it? β
Hearing her say this, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing: "What? Do you think that being lonely is wasting state affairs? If today's Guotai and the people are safe, where do you want to approve it? β
Although the harem cannot be regent, Liu Chang is obviously happy, and what Nan Ci said is also right, so this cannot be a regent but also Liu Chang has left it behind.
Liu Chang knew that the current Nanqiu Kingdom was in dire straits, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the hands of others.
Su family ancestral hall.
On the dusty ground, there were two young girls on their knees, one fainting on the shoulder of the other, while the other anxiously shook the person who had fallen on her shoulder.
"Miss? Miss, wake up quickly, if the master sees you fainting, I will definitely punish you again! β
Su Leru only felt that she had been being shaken all along, so that her mind was not clear, she frowned slightly, and slowly opened her eyes.
It was a green dress, and the sachet worn at the waist of the dress was very familiar...... It'sβIt's not!
Su Leru struggled to sit up, and looked at the face of the woman in front of her inch by inch.
I saw a woman in a green dress with a pair of sideburns, a pair of willow eyebrows frowned, a pair of apricot eyes full of anxiety, and even the cherry lips lost some blood because of anxiety, this is a familiar face, she will never admit it for the rest of her life.
"Contains...... Window included! Su Leru moved her lips and shouted out the name of the person in front of her with a slight tremble, with obvious fear in her tone.
How is she not afraid? She saw with her own eyes the blood from the window falling in front of her, and the blood on the ground was her nightmare day and night!
But fortunately, she didn't die, and it seems that she should have been saved.
Since the eldest sister died, the second sister and the third sister left again, and she was the only one left in the Su family, Su Hai spent all her thoughts on herself, forcing herself to do things she didn't like, and was locked in a small dark room every day for an old woman to teach her the rules, all day in the dark, and regularly drew a little blood from her. She didn't know what it was for.
"Miss? What happened to you? Hanzhuang was startled, and didn't notice Su Leru's abnormality, so he hurriedly helped the person who fell to the ground up, and prayed in his heart that the master would never come.
"What's going on?" Hearing the voice, he subconsciously looked at the person who came through the window.
When I saw the corner of the cloth embroidered with gold thread and bird patterns, my heart with the window was half cold.
"What did Miss Fourth do? I've been kneeling for almost three days! The old man can also do it. β
"You don't know this, the master wants to marry the fourth miss to the third prince, but the fourth miss is unwilling, and the master is angry and punishes the fourth miss to kneel here all the time, and no one is allowed to send food to the fourth miss."
"Why doesn't the second lady get married? That's the prince, and if you marry it, you'll be the princess, and if I do, I won't refuse. β
"Who knows, let's go and don't be heard."
The chatter between the two maids became quieter and quieter, and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Su Leru knelt in the ancestral hall, meditating with her eyes closed.
She didn't know what it was, she was supposed to be dead, dead in the fire her father had given her, but what was happening in front of her reminded her that she was alive again, though she didn't know who saved her. But she just came back to life.
These days, her father always forced her to do something that was simply unbearable, and when she refused, her father punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall, and almost knelt until she passed out all day without responding.
Su Leru opened her eyes and looked at the cigarette curling in the ancestral hall, with a trace of fierceness in her eyes.
The sun was scorching, the sky was as blue as a wash, and there was no miscellaneous clouds, only a round sun hanging brightly above.
Now that the early spring has passed, spring has this hint of summer.
Su Leru was dressed in a long white dress, her hair was only fixed with a simple white hosta, she had not eaten for three days, her face was pale and haggard.
She had been standing outside the door for half an hour, but there was no movement in the study, Su Leru gritted her teeth and continued to stand with a sense of dizziness.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Su Hai looked at the person in front of him unhappily, "You don't kneel in the ancestral hall, why are you here?" β
Su Leru listened to her father's even disgusted tone, there was a tingling in her heart, she took a deep breath, and pulled out the last trace of yearning for family affection in her heart.
"Father, I agree to the marriage with the third prince." Su Leru raised her head slightly, watching Su Hai's smile float on her face at a speed visible to the naked eye, she spoke again at the right time, "But I have a few requests." β
Su Hai's smile froze for a moment, and when the disgust and displeasure returned to his face, he said impatiently, "You say." β
"First, before I get married, I want to have the same food and clothing in the house as my sister-in-law."
Su Leru lowered her eyes and spoke slowly, and no one saw the gloom in her eyes.
Everyone knows that Su Xueer is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they don't know that she is also a daughter-in-law, and there are rumors in the house about her mysterious biological mother.
The version she has heard the most is that her mother was a foreign woman who was a foreign woman who was not the prime minister of Su Hai, and she had a heart to mind with Su Hai when he was not the prime minister, but later Su Hai had to divorce the woman because of power problems and married another lady, and the foreign woman was too sad and died on the night she gave birth.
And because Su Hai felt guilty, they put their children under the knees of the prime minister's wife Meng Tianxiang to raise them, and also hung the name of a concubine, but since Su Leru grew up, Su Hai's guilt towards her gradually became less, and she even became disgusted with Su Leru under the discord of the second aunt.
Over the years, she has neither been named a concubine, nor has she ever been treated as a concubine, and she has been bullied by Su Xueer all day long.
"Second, except for the windows and snow, all the maids in my yard must be replaced, and I will personally select them."
"Third....... Before entering the Three Princes' Mansion, I didn't want to meet His Royal Highness the Three Princes. β
Su Leru clenched her hand under her sleeve, she didn't have much time, and now agreeing to this marriage contract was just an expedient measure, she didn't want to put her whole life on a strange man, she had to drag Su Hai to find the second sister, the second sister must have a way.
Su Hai frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and stared at Su Leru for a while before replying, "Okay." β
He didn't agree so reluctantly, Su Hai could see it, but she just liked to see how these people were reluctant and had to agree to her.
It stands to reason that her request is not excessive, and it is obvious that she is the one who suffers from marrying such a straw bag as the third prince.
"Then the daughter retired first." Su Leru raised her head and showed a weak smile at Su Hai.
That smile seemed to be thousands of begonias blooming, Shen Ziyi only felt his heart tremble, and the back of the person in front of him gradually coincided with the back in his memory.
It's just that when he looked at it again, where did the begonia flowers come from in this yard full of cold plums?
"I'm fine, I'll explain it to Madame."
The maidservant couldn't help but blush, and then bowed and retreated.
After staying for a long time, Xu Chenhao held his chin, looked at the scroll in his hand for a while, and sighed helplessly: "This little girl, ......"
The night is getting darker.
Suddenly, there was the sound of heavy objects rolling down in the room
"Bang dang!" Syllable!
Xu Chenhao didn't look back, but green veins appeared on his white forehead: "When will the prime minister learn to walk through the main gate?" β
I saw the embarrassed man slowly take out a small mirror from his arms, ignore Xu Chenhaoyuan's taunts, and straighten his hair and clothes.
"Oh, General, you don't know how suspicious Your Majesty is, let's just say a few days ago, I just met you and exchanged a few words, and Your Majesty's face turned black all of a sudden. Didn't you see that he glared at me fiercely! β
Speaking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and kicked at the man, "It's not because of you!" Talk as you talk, what do you do with your shoulders on your back? You deserve it! β
A few days ago, he was held in his arms by this person, and he lost face in front of hundreds of officials.
The more Xu Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, and kicked again.
"Hey, my general, how can you bear to be so cruel to me, a literati? It hurts to death, it hurts to death! β
Yun Luo rubbed his buttocks and glared at a certain general with resentment, but he didn't dare to attack. There's no way, people have been practicing martial arts for 20 years, even if more than a dozen strong men go together, they may not be able to beat him, let alone him, a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens?
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? β
The maidservant's anxious voice came from outside the room, and it turned out that the loud noise just now had alarmed her.
Yun Luo hurriedly looked at Xu Chenhao as if asking for help, but he smiled faintly and whispered: "The mess you made yourself, clean up by yourself?" β
Xu Chenhao!
Yun Luo immediately gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to bite off a layer of skin from the person in front of him. However, the maid's inquiry outside the room became more and more urgent, and he couldn't care about losing face, so he opened his mouth: "Meow~"
Xu Chenhao's dark eyes suddenly dyed with a smile: "You also heard it, it's just a little wild cat, it accidentally ran to me, you can go back first if it's nothing." β
It's a cat...... The maidservant couldn't help blushing at her panic.
The sound outside the door grew quieter again.
"I said, General Xu-" Yun Luo stepped forward angrily, and was about to open his mouth to vent the anger in his heart, but Xu Chenhao put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent motion.
"The Prime Minister probably won't want to attract the attention of others anymore."
The man's good-looking eyes are curved like crescent moons.
"What?!" As soon as Yun Luo heard that Xu Ruoyun was locked up, his heart suddenly pinched, that girl was locked up? "You said that Ruoyun's girl was imprisoned by the emperor of the Southern Autumn Kingdom?"
"Hmm." Xu Chenhao nodded, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to go to Zijing City, in order to rescue Ruoyun, and secondly, to explore the reality of this Zijing City and inquire about the situation.
"Even then, I can't let you go on the risk." Yun Luo quickly regained his composure, and his serious expression made Xu Chenhao feel like in his heart.
"I'll be back soon."
Yun Luo was speechless for a while, and after a while, he waved his hand unwillingly, "That's it, I can't compete with you." As he spoke, he walked straight to the wooden chair on the side and sat down, lifted the teapot to make a pot of tea, watched the water slowly turn green, and only spoke when the fragrance of tea filled the entire study: "I thought you already knew."
Holding the brush for a moment, Xu Chenhao raised his head, and a few sharp rays of light flashed in his dark eyes, "What do you know?" β
