Huangjue Temple is a royal temple, so the road along the way is very flat, the road is not bumpy, and the group will arrive at the foot of the mountain in less than noon.

Abandon the horse and go up the mountain, enter the temple to rest, after lunch, Peng Hao went back to the general's mansion, Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying also "visited" every day, and the house was interrupted by the person in charge.

Chengqian Palace

When the queen heard Xia Jin's words, she slapped her on the table, shaking the teacup and trembling, and then looked at her eyes as if she was about to breathe fire, her voice was as condensed as ice, and said, "Is the news true?"

Xia Jin was a little unable to stand under the pressure of the queen, and said in panic: "Niangniang, the slave maid also heard a shadow halfway, and knew that the matter was serious, so she rushed back to return to Niangniang, you know, so the truth of the news is not certain." ”

The queen has been in the palace for decades, and after the anger, she regained her calm, and there was no trace of anger on her face, but her eyes were still sharp.

After a moment, the queen spoke. "Go and ask Imperial Doctor Sun to come to the palace to ask for peace. The voice was calm and smooth.

Imperial Physician Sun majored in the art of women's childbirth, and the matter of asking the queen for peace has always been the matter of Imperial Physician Zhou, but Xia Jin knew what the queen meant, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took the order.

There was silence in the hall, and all the palace maids did not dare to speak, and slowed down their breathing.

The queen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and chewed lightly. "Xiang Concubine.... ”

The temple is clean, Peng Mo accompanies Peng's to do morning classes, copy Buddhist scriptures, watch bamboo and cook tea, the days are quiet and comfortable, but on the days without Jin Yanchen, the air seems to be much lighter, and she misses him.

"Master, Princess Roujia went directly to the queen's palace after returning to the palace from the general's mansion that day, and the queen found that the princess jade pendant was missing, so she asked two questions, Princess Roujia answered truthfully, and the queen didn't say anything at that time, but when it was time for dinner, the queen suddenly mentioned the marriage. Liu Hotaru said about the clues found in the palace.

Roujia's jade pendant represents a symbol of royal status, and if it is lost rashly, the queen will definitely ask, which is not unusual.

What is strange is that the queen knew that Rou Jia was indifferent after losing the jade pendant! This is intriguing! The importance of this jade pendant can be ignored by Rou Jia, but the queen will not ignore it.

Then why don't you go back immediately? Because the object of winning away is the third brother, so the queen is not in a hurry? If this is the case, the queen suddenly mentioned the marriage, could it be that she was sending a message to the third brother?

If this is the case, it seems that the queen is very fond of the son-in-law of the third brother, and she actually took the initiative to attack!

Peng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing what the other party wanted, it would be easy to do!

Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying only learned the news on the second day of Peng's trip to Huangjue Temple, and they were so angry that they scolded, looking at the teasing of the surrounding pedestrians, she angrily pulled Zhao Qingying into the carriage and went all the way back to the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.

Zhao Shuchang was indignant after hearing this, Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying licked their faces in the past few days, and the matter of asking for the door had already been known all over the city, and the officials of the DPRK and China all took a wait-and-see attitude to determine the attitude towards the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the future, he originally thought that their mother and daughter would come to the door again and again so devoutly, how could they have some results, but he didn't expect the result to be like this!

Wu Xiaorou was still scolding angrily, Zhao Qingying was also angry, pouting and unhappy, she had already lost her face in the past few days, but she didn't expect her aunt to be so reckless and hide directly in Huangjue Temple, she won't be teased to death when she goes out in the future?

Zhao Shuchang glanced at the two of them dissatisfied, snorted coldly, and said, "You are still too useless." ”

Zhao Shi was also seriously injured in the house, Wu Xiaorou couldn't catch up with Huangjue Temple, and Zhao Qingying's junior was not qualified, so this matter could only be talked about when the Peng family came back from the temple.

Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying glanced at each other, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they didn't dare to refute.

The housekeeper trotted over, wiped a handful of sweat after standing still, and said, "Master Hou, there are people looking for you outside the house." ”

Zhao Shuchang was already annoyed, and he didn't have a good face when he saw the housekeeper, so he said: "I haven't seen any characters in the Hou Mansion, can you use them in such a hurry?"

The housekeeper was reprimanded, and he was anxious on his face, and he lowered his head and said, "It's the old slave who is impatient, and the Hou Ye atonements." ”

Zhao Shu often saw that the housekeeper had white hair, and he couldn't bear to scold him anymore, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

The housekeeper looked at Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying in the hall, with some concerns, walked to Zhao Shuchang's side, leaned over and whispered.

Zhao Shuchang's face changed when he heard this, and he suddenly got up and said, "What you said is true?"

"The old slave didn't dare to deceive the Hou Ye. As soon as the housekeeper saw Zhao Shuchang's state, he knew that the matter might be true, and he was even more worried at the moment, this kind of secret matter was known to him, I wonder if the Hou Ye would deal with himself?

Zhao Shuchang's face was pale, he looked at Wu Xiaorou on the side, his brows furrowed even deeper, he turned around and walked out of the flower hall and went straight to the outer courtyard.

Wu Xiaorou looked at Zhao Shuchang's back, muttered for a while, pouted and got up to look at Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi has not been out of the house since he was carried back to the house, he suffered such a big crime, lost such a face, and the fire in his stomach was about to burn him, but thinking that the other party was Princess Roujia, he couldn't compete with it, and he could only endure the grievances with her alone.

But just because you can't be angry with Princess Roujia doesn't mean you can't be angry with others.

As soon as Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying stepped into Zhao Shi's courtyard, they heard his scolding voice, Zhao Qingying couldn't help frowning, her face was full of disgust, if this person was not her younger brother, she would not have come to visit him.

Wu Xiaorou was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly pushed the door in, Zhao Qingying followed impatiently, only to see the fragments of the vase in the room, Zhao Shi was sitting on the bed and scolding, there were a few little maids kneeling on the ground, crying with tears on their faces, begging for mercy in their mouths, and their shrunken figure looked more and more depressed and pitiful under Zhao Shi's angry scolding.

Zhao Qingying frowned for a while, it was really embarrassing, she couldn't be majestic outside, what was the use of scolding at home? If she had the ability, she would go to Peng Hao for revenge, and Jin Roujia for revenge! Disgusted in her heart, she didn't go in, she directly found a clean seat outside and sat down, looking like she didn't care about herself, as if the seriously injured person was not her younger brother.

"My son, what's the matter?" Wu Xiaorou rushed in, shouting heartily.

"Mother, look at them, they clumsily spilled the soup all over me and scalded me to death. As soon as Zhao Shi saw Wu Xiaorou, he immediately accepted the momentum of scolding, and behaved like a puppy, holding Wu Xiaorou to complain.

Wu Xiaorou was a good mother when she faced Zhao Shi, but she became a demon to these subordinates, and when she heard her son say this, she was immediately so angry that she frowned, and scolded: "It's really a cheap girl who has more than enough success and more than failure, and even the master can't serve well, what's the use of keeping you? ”

When a few maids heard this, they were immediately shocked, the maids who were sold in the Hou Mansion were just sold to those pickled places, and they were humiliated all their lives, so it was better to die directly.

A little maid looked at her sister's face as if she was dead, and couldn't help but speak: "Madam, it was the young master who was feeding the soup to the slave... Touch... Touching the waist of the slave and maid, so the slave and the maid accidentally lost their hand.... The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and his face was blushing undecently.

It turned out that Zhao Shi was trampled by Peng Hao that day after breaking the bone of his right hand, and then he was thrown into prison, and was "cared for" for a few days, new injuries and old injuries continued one after another, and the broken hand lost the best opportunity for diagnosis and treatment.

The implication is that this hand is crippled, so his daily activities such as eating, washing his face, and going to the toilet can only be completed by someone to serve him, and this humiliating and torturous situation makes his temperament more and more violent, and from time to time he has to kill a few maids to relieve his anger.

Wu Xiaorou knew that her son was depressed in her heart, and she didn't stop him, just a few ant-like maids, and he tossed it up to him if he liked it.

"Hmph, it's useless to take care of the master well, what are you doing with so many excuses?" Wu Xiaorou's eyes widened, and she raised her hand and smashed the medicine bowl in her hand, and the little girl's forehead was bleeding.

"Where are all the people dead? Don't you pull people down, it won't be a sight to behold?" Wu Xiaorou shouted again, and a few mothers-in-law rushed in outside the door, and couldn't help but pull these little maids out.

Wu Xiaorou saw that the room was clean before turning around and coaxing Zhao Shi. "Son, how about my mother find you a few more clever maids to serve you?"

Zhao Shi hugged Wu Xiaorou happily and said flatteringly: "My mother still loves me." ”

Zhao Shuchang hurried all the way to the front yard, and saw a man standing in the courtyard from a distance, the man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, his body was thin, and he looked a little bookish.

The man heard the voice and looked over, Zhao Shuchang took a look at him, instantly froze, opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

The man also looked at Zhao Shuchang, his brows furrowed deeply.

After a while, Zhao Shuchang regained his voice, approached the man, looked at him and said, "You said you have a token?"

The man's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at Zhao Shuchang with hesitation in his eyes, but finally took out something from his purse, spread it in his palm, and handed it to him.

Zhao Shuchang withdrew his eyes from the man and landed on the palm of his hand, only to see a plain silver hairpin spread on it, and the hairpin head was inlaid with a pearl of not very good color, so good and workmanship is really cheap and crude, but Zhao Shuchang looked at it and was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes were questioning, shocked, and at a loss.

The man clearly saw the emotional leakage in Zhao Shuchang's eyes, the only bit of warmth in his eyes was gone, he smiled coldly, clenched the hairpin and turned to leave.

Zhao Shuchang was stunned, hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "How can you be so rude when talking to the elders, how did your mother teach you?"

The man stopped, turned to look at Zhao Shuchang, and sneered: "What qualifications does Master Hou have to question me, after you meet, you first question my identity, and then you are disgusted with my existence, although I am poor, I am not enough to send people to endure these under the fence." ”
