How he was sent to the sedan chair, how he was carried into the palace, and how he survived the whole night, Zhong Luhuan couldn't remember it at all, she just felt that everything today was a joke, an illusion, a dream, maybe it would disappear when she woke up.

But how could she sleep, she had been looking forward to a lifetime of happiness, and she was easily ruined, marrying the man she didn't like at all, the scale rod picked off the red hijab, and was numb like a zombie under him who was full of alcohol, leaving nothing but pain.

After Cui Xiang finally fell asleep contentedly, she still looked at the top of the tent with a pair of eyes open.

The roof of the tent is depicted with auspicious patterns such as lotus flowers, bats, and auspicious clouds, and only a vague shape can be discerned in the darkness, and it looks like countless strange shadows, peering at her condescendingly.

Tears unconsciously flowed down the corners of her eyes to her ears, Zhong Luhuan closed her eyes and cried silently.

This is just the wedding night, how will the long and painful decades be spent in the future? What kind of expectations did Cheng Fengyi have at the beginning to endure such an insult from such an arrogant and domineering man?

It's better to die, she thought to herself.

Just as she was thinking endlessly, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the window, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" ”

Zhong Luhuan stiffened, feeling that this voice was very familiar, but it was too quiet to hear it really.

Cui Xiang slept very deeply, and did not hear the movement outside, and the man had to raise his voice again: "Lord Wang! ”

This time, Zhong Luhuan heard it clearly, and the person outside the window was her brother Zhong Nian. What is he doing at such a late hour? And tonight is still the night of candles in the cave room, and the brother-in-law came to find his brother-in-law, what is the reason?

Zhong Luhuan was full of suspicion, and before she could think about the result, Cui Xiang beside her turned over, was called by Zhong Nian, and woke up.

She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Cui Xiang seemed to have known that his brother-in-law would come, and when he heard movement in his sleep, he immediately opened his eyes and sat up, looking at Zhong Luhuan. Zhong Luhuan tried her best to slow down her breathing, her eyes did not move, making herself look like she was asleep, but in fact, her heart was beating like a drum, and she was so nervous that she clutched the sheets in the bed.

Cui Xiang didn't see the flaw, so he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, didn't put on his clothes, and went to open the door with his shoes on.

After he brought the door, Zhong Luhuan immediately climbed up and ran barefoot to the window to eavesdrop.

Cui Xiang asked, "How are things going?" ”

Zhong Nian replied: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the Ye family heard that the prince married Lu Huan, and has decided to cooperate with the Zhong family, the Xie family was sandwiched between Cui Jie and Cui Yi brothers before, and after listening to Old Man Ye's words, they also decided to help the prince." ”

Zhong Luhuan's mind moved quickly, and she guessed, "What are they going to do?" The Ye family, the Xie family, and the Zhong family all got involved, and my brother came to find the prince in the middle of the night without telling me, is it something unseemly? ”

Outside the house, Cui Xiang sneered disdainfully: "The Xie family has become a lost dog, what can I help?" ”

"The prince's words are wrong, although the Xie family was driven out of Xuanzhou by Cui Yi, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, they have been running Xuanzhou for six generations, and their power in Xuanzhou is deep-rooted, and it is by no means possible to be eliminated overnight, as long as the prince accepts Xie Xiao's daughter Xie Yurou as a concubine, the Xie family is willing to do everything in their power to help the prince ascend the throne."

Zhong Luhuan was so frightened that she covered her mouth - Cui Xiang wanted to rebel!

"This king has long said that he will only marry Lu Wan in this life, and you are still Lu Huan's eldest brother, how can you help other people's girls speak?" Cui Xiang said a little unhappily.

Zhong Nian laughed a few times and said, "How can a man not have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the prince will be the emperor in the future." Lu Wan can be the princess's concubine, and she will be the queen in the future, which is already her great convincing, if there is no peach and willow green in the harem, what is the meaning of being an emperor? ”

Cui Xiang was silent for a moment, and Zhong Luhuan was so nervous that her hands were shaking.

“…… That's what I said," Cui Xiang quickly relented, "I have seen Yuchan's sister-in-law, they are all Xie Xiao's daughters, presumably Yurou is not far behind, hehe~"

He was outside, but Zhong Luhuan was so disgusted that he was about to vomit inside.

It turns out that his so-called liking of himself is nothing more than that! The front foot married himself into the door, and the back foot began to think about other women, such men, such men...... It's simply not human!

She suddenly felt that all the men in this world were so disgusting, taking pleasure and pride in abusing women, and taking inattentiveness as a symbol of nobility, and being complacent about it, and the wishful husband she had been longing for was still missing after eighteen years, probably never again......

At this time, Cui Xiang suddenly said again: "Father-in-law, have you been convinced?" ”

Zhong Nian replied regretfully: "No, my father's attitude is very tough, this time Lu Huan's marriage to the prince is also the master of the mother's concealment from my father, and my father is still in the dark." - But don't worry, I will definitely convince him, not to mention that my father also hopes that Lu Wan will be the queen, as long as the prince is willing to make Lu Wan the queen, the Zhong family will inevitably go to the soup for the prince and will not give up. ”

Cui Xiang reluctantly accepted: "That's good." The matter of convincing your father-in-law will be left to you, this king will ascend the throne in the future, and the benefits will be indispensable to your Zhong family, and when the time comes, this king will make you a cavalry general, and when you go to court, you will stand at the forefront of the military attaché! ”

Zhong Nian was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" …… No, Emperor Xie! ”

Zhong Luhuan: "......"

It turned out that the eldest brother sold his own sister so easily in order to become a big official, not only him, but even his mother, although he had long known that his mother wanted to climb to a high place, but he didn't expect that she was even more desperate than her parents who held the profit, and almost used her life to gamble on an unpredictable game.

If Sister Zhiying knew about tonight's incident, she would definitely feel that the eldest grandson and his wife were excusable, anyway, Sister Zhiying married the emperor, it was not their original intention! Zhong Luwan shook in the dark, holding the desk with her hands, almost unsteady on her feet, her heart was full of thoughts, and she could no longer burn her desire for life.

She leaned her back against the pillar, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry, her eyes were like a dry well, and even the tears of sadness could no longer flow out.

Cui Xiang discussed a few other words with Zhong Nian outside the door, and then Zhong Nian left quietly, Cui Xiang opened the door and came in, wanting to go back and continue sleeping, but suddenly saw Zhong Luhuan standing in the dark room, looking at him with cold eyes.

Countless thoughts flashed in Cui Xiang's heart in an instant—what's going on? Isn't she asleep? Is she pretending to be asleep? Did she hear what I just said to Zhong Nian? She heard all about the rebellion and Na Xie Yurou as a concubine?

"Lu Huan, you listen to my explanation......" Cui Xiang had never seen Zhong Lu Wan like this, as soon as he was nervous, his throat was dry, and his words were not good.

Zhong Luwan raised her head slightly, and said coolly: "The prince is really a good skill, it has only been less than a year since the emperor ascended the throne, and the prince has begun to plan to usurp the throne." ”

Cui Xiang hurriedly explained: "I'm also doing this for your good, when I become the emperor, you will be the queen......"

"You and I rarely become a queen?" Zhong Luhuan suddenly laughed, but the laughter sounded so harsh, "Let me tell you, Cui Huaiyou, I don't want to be a queen at all, and I don't want to marry you!" There is nothing more disgusting in this world than marrying you! ”

Cui Yi gasped like a fish starved of water, and stammered and retorted: "You, you, you actually think this king is disgusting?" This king is the prince, the prince, and the emperor in the future! This king, this king has saved your life! You ungrateful, ungrateful ......"

Zhong Luhuan smiled miserably and mocked: "Emperor? It's up to you? As he spoke, he picked up the scissors from the sewing basket on the low kitchen, "I'll make you emperor today!" As he spoke, he raised his scissors and stabbed him.

Cui Xiang was instantly shocked and screamed to dodge, but Zhong Luhuan went crazy, waving the sharp scissors in his hand while shouting angrily, chasing him around the house.

"You're so daring!" Cui Xiang fled in embarrassment and scolded loudly, "I'm the prince!" You're trying to kill me! ”

The brand-new scissor handle is even wrapped with a red thread symbolizing the joy of the newlywed, but in Zhong Luhuan's hand, it is a deadly murder weapon, Cui Xiang dodged a few times without dodging, and he didn't have time to open the door bolt, so he was forced to helplessly, turned around and grabbed Zhong Luhuan's arm, shouted "slut", and pushed her out violently.

Zhong Luhuan was extremely fierce under her anger, but in the end she was a weak woman, she was pushed hard by Cui Xiang, her body fell backwards, the scissors flew out of her hands, and the person stumbled on the side of the table, fell down, and her forehead hit the corner of the chest of drawers impartially, and she knocked into a big hole when she landed, and the blood flowed like a spring.

Cui Xiang was also frightened by the scene in front of him, and froze in place at a loss, until the blood flowed all over the ground, and Zhong Luhuan fell completely unconscious in a pool of blood, before he let out a frightened scream: "Someone's coming!! ”

The entire Jingwang Mansion was awakened by his screams, and when the maid and the housekeeper rushed over, they tried Zhong Luhuan's snort and pulse, and there was no sign of life.

Zhong Nian rushed to the news and saw his sister's bloodstained and cold corpse, he could barely believe his eyes, and screamed in despair: "How can this be!" ”

At this time, Cui Xiang was already six gods and no master, sitting in the chair, he yelled, his shoulders trembled violently, and he hugged his head sadly again and shouted: "Ah——!!! ”

The bad news came into the palace with the first rays of dawn, waking up Cui Yi and Zhiying, who were still asleep, and the two of them heard the news of Zhong Luhuan's death, and they almost screamed in unison: "How can this be!" ”

Tears flowed out of her eyes, and she shouted hysterically: "How could you die!" How to die! Yesterday, when the palace and the emperor left, they were fine, how could they get up early in the morning and be gone! Say! ”

The family who came to report the news was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The emperor spares his life!" Mother's life! The little one was just ordered to report the funeral, but he really didn't know the inside story, the emperor spared his life, spared his life! ”

Zhiying sat on the ground crying, and several palace maids couldn't pick it up, just blindly crying Zhong Luhuan's name, crying and crying sorry for her.

"Xiaoqiu, help Niangniang in to rest," Cui Yi was finally able to calm down, and he ordered with a wave of his hand, "Come on, serve me to change clothes, and do everything you want." ”

Du Zhenquan immediately stepped forward: "The emperor ordered." ”

Cui Yi was furious, full of anger, and shouted angrily: "Go and ask Princess Yuanhui immediately, let her immediately go to King Jing's Mansion to assist in the autopsy, be sure to find out the cause of the county lord's death, and send someone to arrest King Jing and Zhong Nian, if the rest dare to disobey, they will be killed!" ”
