Chapter 72 When the time comes, if you want it, your heart will give it to you



The emperor didn't care about Zhou Mu, who was kneeling to thank him, and his eyes fell on Yun Xiangrong who was kneeling on the ground again.

"Zhou Yun's family, you have made a great contribution to this epidemic, let's say, what kind of reward do you want." The emperor said indifferently.

If he directly opened his mouth to reward, as he did to King Lili and King Zhennan, it would be easy to say, so that Yun Xiangrong asked for a reward, it would really be embarrassing.

Don't open your mouth, so many people are watching, it's naturally inappropriate.

Let's speak, if you want to be ruthless, the emperor doesn't like it, how should outsiders look at her?

Therefore, it seems to be a great honor, and you can ask for rewards at will, but in fact, it is a hot potato, and you will burn yourself by accident.

Everyone looked at Yun Xiangrong and watched how she answered.

How do you know that Yun Xiangrong kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said: "I don't dare to ask for rewards, I just ask the emperor to exempt the courtiers from the crime of bullying the king." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately surprised, why did they mention the crime of bullying the king for no reason?

Even the emperor was taken aback.

Looking at Yun Xiangrong's gaze, he became proficient, "Oh, I don't understand what you said, you tell me a reason." I will forgive you from your sins. ”

Yun Xiangrong knelt on the ground and told him how to rescue Sun Yi.

In the end, he kowtowed and said: "The courtiers know that the crime of secretly changing prisoners is unforgivable, but I ask the emperor to see that Dr. Sun has saved countless people this time, and forgive him for his innocence. ”

Above the main hall, a petite figure dressed in a goose-yellow flock knelt quietly, her long hair tied up, revealing a slender and slender neck, which made her figure more and more petite.

After listening to this, the emperor did not speak for a while.

Prime Minister Yun on the side looked at Yun Xiangrong, and his palms were clenched into fists nervously. A face that had always been elegant and smiling lost its smile and tensed slightly.

Zhou Mu was even more unbearable, his face was pale at the moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he scolded Yun Xiangrong in his heart.

If the emperor is annoyed, he will directly give her to death and not say anything, if he loses his official position and loses his life, he will not let her go even if he goes to the underworld.

Huo Chen also quietly looked at the kneeling figure that looked extremely petite, and the hand held between his sleeves tightened unconsciously.

He only knew that Sun Yi was invited by her to treat him, but he never knew how much work she spent and how many risks she took in order to invite Sun Yi to save him.

He said why Sun Yi was such a picky and eccentric person, but he was only convinced by Yun Xiangrong, he thought that he had something else in mind, but now it seems that it is just to repay her for saving her life.

"I didn't know that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the capital, there was such a thing of oppression of the people. A good doctor was forced to almost die in prison, and my heart was very cold. The emperor finally spoke, but there was a chill in his speech.

"Father, son, please order a thorough investigation into this matter." King Xiang stood up and said.

"It's fine. Fourth, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must find out, you know! The emperor said, looking at the king.

Liwang, who was standing on the side, was stunned for a moment, and made sure that he had heard correctly, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "Yes, the son of the minister has the order." ”

King Xiang asked for a decree and left the king to investigate thoroughly, how can this style of painting be weird.

King Xiang stood in place, withdrew his hand, and was still smiling, but the smile seemed to be decorated with ice.

Liwang is a little innocent, and he didn't want to do it! But he fought with King Xiang a lot. I don't care about this time.

"Zhou Yunshi, if things are really as you said, not only are you guilty, but you also have great achievements, if it weren't for you, I would have lost an extremely outstanding doctor, if it wasn't for Dr. Sun to develop a prescription for this epidemic, I don't know how many people will die, I will definitely reward you." The emperor said loudly.

When the words fell, the emperor seemed to be thinking about what kind of reward was appropriate.

At this moment, a chant came from outside: "The Seventh Prince has arrived." ”

The Seven Princes only arrived at this time!

Everyone looked away.

The emperor at the top came back to his senses in surprise and frowned slightly.

Although he doted on the Seventh Prince, he couldn't let him be so rude on such an occasion.

I was about to speak, but I saw him standing under his head and speaking in a childish voice.

"The son of the queen mother passed on the oral message that Zhou Yun's family has contributed to the Jiangshan Sheji, and she can ask the emperor to give her the title, auspicious, to show auspicious blessings."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately laughed, "Since the queen mother has praised you, Zhou Yun, listen to the seal." ”

The emperor's voice was straight, and he said: "Zhou Yun's contribution to the epidemic is indispensable, and I will give you the title of princess, Xiangrui." ”

"Courtier, thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Yun Xiangrong is grateful.

After all kinds of calculations, they finally took the first step, and with the title of princess, it was not so easy for Zhou Mu and Jiang Qing to pinch her again.

Even if you can't leave immediately, it's enough to protect yourself.

All the rewards were rewarded, and the emperor announced that the banquet would continue.

Yun Xiang thanked him and came back, and Zhou Mu was still kneeling in his place.

Poor Zhou Mu, kneeling on the side, was completely forgotten.

Without the emperor's opening, he kept kneeling, and when the emperor announced the dismissal, his feet were numb.

During the banquet, Zhou Mu's face was extremely bad, and he didn't mean to look at it at all.

When the banquet was dismissed, when the emperor left, Zhou Mu sat in his position, and only then did he get up when the ministers were almost gone.

His feet were still numb, and he walked a little awkwardly, urging with a cold face, "Go faster, go back." ”

Yun Xiangrong knew that he was angry in his heart, so he didn't care, and followed behind him with a smile.

When he arrived at the gate of the main hall, he saw the Seven Princes walking towards this side with a smile.

"Sister, the imperial grandmother said that you have a different identity now, and you have to learn some rules, so she asked me to send two nurturing grandmothers over." The Seventh Prince looked sideways at the two old ladies behind him.

Mama looked like she was about fifty years old, and she saluted Yun Xiangrong together: "Slave Wang Mama, Mama Zhang, I have seen Princess Xiangrui." ”

Yun Xiangrong knew that this was arranged by the Queen Mother to spy on her, so as not to let her talk nonsense, but if she used it well, it would not be a kind of help at the same time!

"The two grandmothers are exempt from courtesy, and they will have to be re-educated through labor in the future." Yun Xiangrong smiled lightly and spoke.

"Don't dare to be." The two responded at the same time, standing behind Yun Xiangrong and silent.

Zhou Mu looked at this scene and was a little dazed. The grievances in his heart almost suffocated him.

Originally, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood when he learned about Fang Zi today, he thought that it would not be good to mess around in the palace, and he would question her again when he went home, but who knew that the Queen Mother directly sent her nurturing grandmother, and now the matter suddenly became a little more troublesome.

The Queen Mother sent a carriage to send Yun Xiangrong and the two grandmothers back, so that Zhou Mu didn't even have the opportunity to reprimand him in the carriage, and he almost choked to death with a breath of anger.

On the other side, after the banquet was over, Jiang Qing hurried to the queen's bedroom.

"Auntie, didn't you promise to give me to Zhou Lang as the main room, why don't you say it, how can you break your word!" Jiang Qing asked aggrievedly.

The queen turned abruptly to look at her. Majestic low: "Presumptuous! Jiang Qing, are you questioning this palace! ”

Jiang Qing was taken aback by her drinking, and then remembered that although she was her aunt, she was also a high queen.

Her face turned pale, Jiang Qing suddenly knelt on the ground, "Qing'er doesn't dare, Qing'er doesn't mean that, please punish your aunt." ”

The queen saw Jiang Qing kneeling on the ground trembling, and her heart softened, but she thought that she couldn't be so presumptuous, and if she continued like this, she really didn't even care about her, the queen's aunt.

As if he didn't see Jiang Qing kneeling, he said coldly: "Such a big person." Not sensible at all. Shangyun Xiangrong of the main hall has just been crowned a princess, can you mention that? She is now gaining momentum, not to mention asking her to give up the position of the main wife to you, even if she is an equal wife, it is unlikely to be an equal wife. If you have to make trouble at this stall, then simply ask him to prepare a sedan chair and carry you directly into the house! ”

Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment. Carried into the house, isn't that a concubine?

She is a dignified county lord, why should she be a concubine, and she is subservient to Yun Xiangrong.

She doesn't want it!

Jiang Qing thought about it and said loudly: "Auntie, Qing'er don't be a concubine. Qing'er is your only niece, are you willing to call me a concubine! ”

She looked up at the queen with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved and sad.

The queen saw soft-heartedness, helped her up with her own hands, and said: "If you want to be the main room, you can wait patiently, and when her limelight passes, we will plan this matter again." ”

Jiang Qing was reluctant in his heart, the corners of his mouth were deflated, and finally under the pressure of the queen's eyes, he nodded aggrievedly.

On the other side, Zhou Mu and Yun Xiangrong had also arrived at the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Mu watched Yun Xiangrong take the two nurturing grandmothers inside, suppressed the anger in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Today, Rong'er is a princess, it is really a great joy, and I will prepare a few small dishes for my husband in the kitchen at night, and drink with Rong'er to celebrate this joy." ”

He thought, he said this, even if she has the title of princess now, but after all, she has no fief, just a good name, and she must still rely on her husband.

But he was wrong!

Yun Xiangrong smiled gently and raised his eyes to look at him, his face was smiling, but his eyes seemed to be indifferent, as far away as thousands of mountains and rivers.

Her face was pale, and she said slowly: "No need, the concubine still has to arrange for the two grandmothers to live, and she has to learn the rules with the two grandmothers, I am afraid that I will not be free these days." The concubine was tired, so she retired first. ”

After finishing speaking, Yun Xiangrong didn't care what Zhou Mu's complexion was, he walked gracefully, walking slowly and calmly.

Her merciless refusal made Zhou Mu feel that his face had been cleaned, and he was about to lose his temper, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw two nurturing grandmothers looking at him with cold eyes.

Zhou Mu thought that these two people were the queen mother's people, and if he was angry here, they would definitely spread the matter back to the palace, so he could only hold back his anger.

Staring at her back as she faded away. Zhou Mu's lips buzzed open and close, and finally he didn't say anything.

He sneered low and said, "It's just a princess title in vain, I really think that I flew on the branch and became a phoenix, and I don't have a shame on my face!" ”

His voice was so low that it had almost dissipated as soon as he left his mouth, and no one heard him.

After he finished scolding, he threw up his sleeves and went to the study, and after a while, there was a sound of "bang, bang, bang" things breaking in the study, obviously telling him to smash it. Even so, Zhou Mu still blocked his heart in one breath, and he almost didn't get angry.

Yun Xiangrong took the two grandmothers back to his Furong Pavilion and led them to the adjacent room that had been prepared a long time ago.

The room was elegantly furnished but not shabby, which made the two grandmothers very satisfied, and they couldn't help but sigh that this lady was sensible.

"The two grandmothers will live here in the future, but the humble house is simple, and it is not as good as the palace, and the two of them have been wronged." Yun Xiangrong looked at the satisfied smile on the corner of their lips and smiled lightly.

The two of them were not aggrieved and thanked them.

Yun Xiangrong smiled and asked them to rest first, and went back to the room by himself.

She knew in her heart that even if the two grandmothers had to symbolically teach her the rules, it would not be today.

After returning to the house, Yun Xiangrong instructed no one to disturb him, and then he took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and slebered.

It has been more than half a year since she was reborn, although she seems to be calm and light, and she lives calmly in the Zhou Mansion, but after Zhou Mu used it twice, her heart has always been vigilant, panicked, and chaotic.

Even if he really hardens her one day, she has no place to complain.

She is his wife, even if it is a husband and wife, it is a normal thing in the eyes of outsiders.

Now that she has a title and two nurturing grandmothers, she no longer has to worry about Zhou Mu doing that to her.

Closing his eyes, Yun Xiangrong quickly fell asleep, calm and calm.

This night, I slept straight into the night.

Even if Chu'er came to ask her for dinner, she pushed it and continued to sleep in a drowsy state.

It was night, and a figure disappeared into Yun Xiangrong's room, and Yun Xiangrong slept deeply without noticing it.

Huo Chen looked at her quiet sleeping face, with a complicated and pitiful look in his eyes.

After meeting Zhou Mu and Jiang Qing's adultery in the palace today, the feeling of extreme irony and unbelief she revealed made him feel distressed. Later, when I learned that she had done something to save him, I was even more excited.

It's just that her heart seems to have been encircled by herself in a cage, not allowing people to get close, even if he can only watch weakly.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Huo Chen reached out and pulled her scattered hair back, and called softly: "Rongrong, Rongrong"

Yun Xiangrong was sleeping, and vaguely heard someone calling him, frowned and slowly opened his eyes, and his slightly confused eyes fell into Huo Chen's eyes.

It is said that a man suddenly appeared in the room, and Yun Xiang Rong should be panicked, but maybe he has come too many times, so much so that she has already asked her to get used to it, just looking at him quietly, not flustered.

"Would you like to talk to me?" Huo Chen spoke softly.

Yun Xiangrong smelled a faint smell of wine.

Did he drink?

"You turn around first." Yun Xiangrong said.

Don't let her talk to him disheveled.

When Huo Chen heard this, it was rare for him to get up obediently and walk outside.

When Yun Xiangrong took care of his clothes, Huo Chen was sitting on a chair, carrying a wine jug and pouring himself a drink, so leisurely.

"I helped you pick two maids who know martial arts, and they will be sent tomorrow, and their deeds of sale will also be handed over to you, no matter what happens, as long as you give the order, it is to let them die with their bodies, and they will not give up." Huo Chen opened his mouth flatly. The act of drinking did not listen.

Yun Xiangrong looked at him, frowned slightly, but said slowly: "In this way, thank you to the prince." ”

She really needs two subordinates by her side who can be used well, although they are his people, it doesn't matter if they are used temporarily.

But looking at his silent drinking, what is the difficulty?

Yun Xiangrong pursed his lips and looked at it, but finally resisted the urge to ask.

"Today, I'm sorry." Huo Chen suddenly spoke.

These words suddenly made Yun Xiangrong slightly stunned.

Until he landed his gaze on her neck, the bruise he had pinched out of control.

"When I was seven years old, in the backyard of the house, a woman was crazy and wanted to kill me, and the servants in the courtyard could hear my cry for help. But no one came forward. Huo Chen suddenly spoke lightly, and the rapid change of topic made Yun Xiangrong slightly stunned.

"At that time, she looked at me like you are today," Huo Chen said, and suddenly stopped talking.

He looked at Yun Xiangrong, but his gaze seemed a little distant.

Yun Xiangrong suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he didn't expect him to be so out of control, it was because he stimulated him to think of the grief of his childhood.

Her slender fingers were entangled, turning white and transparent, but she didn't know it.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a while.

Huo Chen suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "Wine is really a good thing, I have never said it in my heart for so many years, but I am happy to say it today." ”

At this moment, the smile on his face did not have the teasing and indifference of the past. The cleanliness of a big boy made Yun Xiangrong even more distressed.

Yun Xiangrong took a cup, picked up the wine glass, and poured a full glass of wine for each other.

"Lord Wang, Rong'er toasts you." Yun Xiangrong raised his glass and looked at Huo Chen and spoke softly.

Huo Chen looked at her and suddenly wanted to laugh.

This is the woman he has a crush on, and even the comfort is so inconspicuous.

"Okay, Rongrong has a drink with me." Huo Chen raised his hand and touched the glass with her, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

He reached for the flask, trying to fill it for himself, but a slender hand pressed against his hand.

"The prince can't drink anymore, he should get drunk if he drinks again." Yun Xiangrong's voice was soft and low, with a firmness that could not be ignored.

Huo Chen raised his eyes to look at her, under the dim candle flame, her face was ordinary, her eyes were like water, and she looked at herself with tenderness, which made him a little trance.

Seeing that he looked at himself with burning eyes but didn't speak, Yun Xiangrong was a little uncomfortable, and was about to withdraw his hand, but he was faster and held her hand between his palms with his backhand.

Yun Xiangrong's heart was slightly confused.

"Rongrong, I won't be so rude in the future, no matter what I do, I will ask for your consent first." Huo Chen said seriously.

Yun Xiangrong frowned and looked at him with some puzzlement.

"For example, I want to kiss you now, is that okay?" Huo Chen opened his mouth with a smile, his words were light, but Yun Xiangrong's face turned all red, like a sunset, crimson and crimson.

Yun Xiangrong grinded his teeth secretly, this disciple is here again, and he dares to say such a thing, she shouldn't feel sorry for what happened to him when he was a child, and it is right to drive him away directly.

"Rongrong, I can't take out my heart for you." Huo Chen said again, and Yun Xiangrong's breathing suddenly stopped.

"Because I still have to live, only by living can I avenge my parents, and when my great revenge is avenged, if you still want my heart, take it."

Huo Chen's words struck Yun Xiangrong's heart, and all at once, like the morning bell and dusk drum, they sounded extremely loudly and deafeningly.

However, having had the experience of a moth fighting a fire like in her previous life, and now she is afraid of touching love, which is too luxurious for her, and she does not want to touch it.

So, there can only be silence.

"Rongrong" Huo Chen called her in a low voice.

"If one day, I'm free, maybe I will." Yun wanted to look at him, his eyes were complex but clear, and his voice was very low, like a murmur.

If it weren't for Huo Chen's internal strength and excellent hearing, he might have really missed it.

And at this moment, he looked incredulous, and turned to ecstasy, grabbing Yun Xiangrong's hand and couldn't stop exerting force.

"I'm waiting for that day to come." Huo Chen said in a low voice.

The person he identifies will not let go, no matter how difficult it is. Yun Xiangrong, you don't want to run.

Huo Chen stayed for a while before leaving.

When he left, Yun Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief, clutching his chest, his heartbeat was already chaotic.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Huo Chen asked two handmaidens who knew kung fu to be sent, and Yun Xiangrong asked Chu'er to bring them to him.

"What's your name?" Yun Xiangrong looked down at the two of them and spoke lightly.

The two of them don't look big, they look like seventeen or eighteen, their appearance can only be regarded as delicate, and their height is about the same.

"Slave Zhao Yue, Zhao Xi has seen Madame." Both saluted at the same time.

"Hmm." Yun Xiangrong hummed lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "Since the prince gave you to me, you will be my person in the future, if you don't listen to my orders and can't recognize the status quo, then there is no need to stay by my side, carry your own baggage and leave, remember?" ”

The faces of the two remained unchanged, and they responded calmly.

"Then you will stay with me from now on." After Yun Xiangrong finished speaking, he asked them to follow Chu'er first.

The two nurturing grandmothers wanted to teach Xia Yun to be obedient, but after a while, they were shocked. Yun Xiangrong's manners are even better than that of a real princess, and she doesn't need them to teach her at all.

The two of them were not reluctant, and followed Yun Xiangrong with peace of mind, where she was, they would follow.

Zhou Mu thought that the two grandmothers would return to the palace after staying for two days, but they didn't think that they would stay in Yun Xiangrong's courtyard for five days in a row.

This made him frightened, who thought that Yun Xiangrong couldn't get a title, and it was nothing great, and he understood that she was afraid that there was really a queen mother behind her.

On this day, Yun Xiangrong asked Chu'er to prepare some side dishes, cook wine, and drink to the moon.

Zhou Mu will come to Yun Xiangrong's courtyard once at night these days. But I didn't see her, and it was rare to see her today, but I was slightly stunned.

The moonlight was like water, scattered around her, gilding her with a circle of silver. The long hair is like a waterfall, and it is simply tied with a white hosta, and when he raises his hand to add wine to himself, his demeanor is so elegant and calm that people can't take their eyes off it.

After three years of marriage, he didn't know that his wife was so charming, so dazzling, and so beautiful.

Zhou Mu suddenly felt that he had been blind in the past three years. Unexpectedly, he let such a beautiful wife go away at home, and went outside to find those warblers and swallows to have fun.

"Rong'er" Zhou Mu called in a low voice, his eyes were obsessed, looking at Yun Xiangrong.

The sound of his voice startled Yun Xiangrong, and she looked up at him.
