Chapter 82: Two Men Close
Two years is just lonely and bitter for Zhang Erzhen, and for Concubine Shao, the sky is falling. The fourth prince died in southern Yunnan, the eighth prince was pressed in prison, the fifth prince went to the fief, and now only Princess Wanhua is by her side.
"Here, sit down, sit casually, don't be careful. "The voice is weak and weak.
Concubine Shao's hair is all white, if Zhang Erzhen is not mistaken, she is only forty years old, and now she is as old as an old woman. Zhang Erzhen sat on the small stool on the side of the bed and said softly, "Concubine Shao is like this now...... almost made the concubine unrecognizable, why did the concubine bother to make herself like this, which made people feel distressed. ”
"I feel distressed, what is distressed, the mourning family has become like this, it's not that the mourning family is to blame, and the retribution is received......" Concubine Shao didn't seem to dare to speak loudly, her voice was so thin and small that Zhang Erzhen sat close to hear it clearly, "You can still come to see the mourning family if you have the heart, the mourning family's life may be gone at any time, the emperor takes pity on the mourning family, so he allows the mourning family to be raised like this, and the mourning family sometimes thinks that it is better to die clean than lying like this every day...... Ahem......"
"Taifei, it's time for you to take your medicine. The palace maid was holding the black medicine, Zhang Erzhen watched Concubine Shao drink it all, and Concubine Shao wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and her hands couldn't help trembling. Zhang Erzhen took the handkerchief to help her, and said softly: "If you take medicine and raise well, this body can be good." The concubines can do a limited amount, and they don't dare to persuade the emperor to let the eighth prince go, but the emperor has always been generous and merciful, and he will definitely not treat the fifth prince and Princess Wanhua harshly, and the concubine can rest assured. ”
"Ahem...... Concubine Shao turned her head and coughed lightly, "The mourning family can rest assured that Wanhua is also at ease." When he left, the fifth child mourned his family and told him that he must not behave recklessly and covet like his brother...... Coveting things that are not their own...... , and then pull the entire Shao family into the water...... Ahem...... Don't worry, the sons of the mourning family are not all so ambitious, the most reassuring thing for the mourning family is Yu'er, he is honest and will not cause trouble......"
Zhang Erzhen said with a smile: "It's good that the concubine can think about it, you still have Princess Wanhua, she is not married yet, and you still need to find a handsome person for her." ”。
"Yes, Wanhua is also older, and it's time to pick a horse......" Concubine Shao smiled with her eyebrows, "She is spoiled by the mourning family, and she is willful, but her heart is good, if the mourning family can't wait for that day, I have to bother you to help take care of it, find a kind-hearted concubine, don't pay attention to any family background, those intrigues are too scary, the mourning family is afraid of those people, and the mourning family's Wanhua can't live like that......"
"What did the concubine say, you are good, we can find a good husband and a good colt for Wanhua together. Zhang Erzhen smiled, and stopped talking.
"Just ask whatever you want, there's nothing more you can't say. Concubine Shao lay flat again.
"The concubine's nurse and a girl named Mingyue...... Were they brought into the palace by the concubine back then, and they are ...... now Okay?" asked Zhang Erzhen a little cautiously.
"They......" Concubine Shao looked faint, glanced at Zhang Erzhen and said, "...... At that time, when I found a doctor to heal, the girl named Mingyue was gone...... Ahem, but your nurse didn't believe it, she pulled the collar of the imperial doctor like crazy, and insisted that Imperial Doctor Hu treat the good student, and was taken away by Imperial Doctor Hu. At that time, there was a lot of chaos in the palace, and the mourning family couldn't take care of it. The mourning family couldn't stand you, and later sent someone to find it, but at that time she had already become the concubine of Imperial Physician Hu. If you want to see it, go and see it, you should be able to find it. ”
Moon...... He's dead?
Zhang Erzhen didn't know how she got out of Shoukang Palace, and her mind was blank. The bright moon is gone, is that lively and lovely girl who loves to talk and laugh dead......
"Jin Qiu, I'm going to the prison, I'm going to the prison. Zhang Erzhen muttered, the cloth behind her couldn't catch up with her, Jin Qiu followed behind and shed tears, looking forward to it for two years and waiting for two years, Mingyue was still gone.
Zhang Erzhen almost ran all the way to the prison, the soldiers at the entrance stopped and did not let him in, Zhang Erzhen snatched the spear in his hand and put it across the soldier's neck, "Let me in! If you don't let me in, I'll kill you!"
The soldier didn't move, and Zhang Erzhen put the knife on his neck again, "Let me in! Let me in!
"Mother, what are you doing! Put the knife down, put the knife down!"
"Let me in! I will bear all the sins! If you don't let me in, your whole clan will be buried with you!" Zhang Erzhen's knife around his neck approached again, and the guards watching were frightened, hurriedly opened the prison door, bowed his head and said nothing.
Zhang Erzhen rushed in with a knife and walked in the direction of his memory to the place where the serious prisoner was held. It's damp and cold, a dark corner where the sun can't find it. The stout cell door was mostly empty, Zhang Erzhen looked and searched, and finally saw Zhu Youfang in the corner with a familiar face and a white dress. Zhu Youzhu sat at the small table and drank wine, and there were small dishes on the table, looking very comfortable.
Seeing Zhang Erzhen's cannibalistic gaze, Zhu Youzhu was not surprised, and stood up slowly, "You come to see this king, or come to laugh at this king, this king has now become a prisoner, how can I look at you and be unhappy, don't you also feel sorry for this king, come on, come on, this king is here with good wine and good food, sit down and have a drink." I haven't seen you for a long time, and this king almost forgot that you are such a beauty. Zhu Youzhen smiled, not caring about the long knife in Zhang Erzhen's hand, he approached and reached out to touch Zhang Erzhen, Zhang Erzhen had already stabbed the knife into his left chest with a sharp knife - the means were sharp, one move was enough.
"Zhu Youzhen, return my life to Mingyue! You should die!" Zhang Erzhen didn't care about the blood splashed on her face, she only heard a "snort", she pulled out the knife, and the blood gushed out, dyeing Zhu Youzhen's white clothes, the green bricks of the prison, and Zhang Erzhen's blue dress. Jin Qiu screamed, Zhu Youzhu looked at the smile on Zhang Erzhen's face in disbelief, he didn't even have time to say half a word, he couldn't spit out any sound anymore, he had no strength, as if he had suddenly fallen into the abyss and couldn't struggle.
He threw himself to the ground, not closing his eyes when he was dying.
"Die! You die! Zhu Youzhen, you should have died two years ago!" Zhang Erzhen looked down at Zhu Youzhen's corpse condescendingly, without any expression.
"Bang-" The long knife stained with blood was placed on the ground, and Zhang Erzhen turned around and walked out, and solved him, and now there is another one.
When Zhang Erzhen ran to Shenwumen and wanted to leave the palace, Gonggong Lu was already waiting there, "Niangniang, don't embarrass the minions, you better go back first, and the rest of the minions will do." ”
Zhang Erzhen looked at him and said, "If you insist on stopping me, Gonggong Lu will send someone to arrest me, otherwise, I will leave the palace now!"
"Niangniang, Niangniang, aren't you embarrassed slaves, you are not allowed to go out as ordered by the Holy Lord...... Hey, Niangniang, Niangniang, you should wipe the blood off your face!" called Grandpa Lu.
Zhang Erzhen still ran out of the Shenwu Gate stubbornly, no one in the guards and Grandpa Lu dared to touch her, Grandpa Lu patted his thigh and shouted: "Something big is going to happen, something big is going to happen! But what to do! By the way, by the way, the miscellaneous family still tells the saint to go up!"
Jin Qiu followed Zhang Erzhen all the way to Qiliu Lane. When the passers-by saw the woman with a bloody face on her face and a bloody face, they all retreated, and muttered "crazy, crazy", and Jin Qiu glared at him when he heard it, until the man closed his mouth.
Imperial Physician Hu lived in the Sanjin Mansion at the end of Qiliu Lane, and passed by the gate of Hu's Mansion when he watched the polo match organized by Mrs. Liang. Zhang Erzhen ran quickly, sweating profusely, and panting to the door of Hufu, but the little maid stopped him from entering.
"Tell your master, Zhang Erzhen came to visit, he can see it, and he can see it if he doesn't see it. With a flushed face and scattered hair, Zhang Erzhen knew how embarrassed she was at this time, but the most unawaited thing in this world was human life, she was afraid that if it was a little later, the nurse would be gone. The little guy went in to report, Jin Qiu gasped and caught up, stood straight beside Zhang Erzhen and looked at the other little guy, and also glared at him fiercely.
Zhang Erzhen wanted to rush in, but her sanity returned slightly, she stopped abruptly, and when she looked up after lingering for a long time, she thought she had seen it wrong. There is a woman standing under the plaque of Hufu Gate, she has the charm of a mature woman, brightly dressed, hairpin flying bracelet dance, stepping on smoke-red embroidered shoes, charming and moving in action, tears in her eyes, and faint water......
"Girl, girl, you're finally back...... the nurse screamed and ran out, hugged the stunned Zhang Erzhen and cried, looking at Zhang Erzhen, crying and talking. It took a while to realize that the girl seemed to be wrong, and asked in a panic: "Girl, what's wrong with you, don't you recognize the slave?"
Zhang Erzhen broke free from her embrace and took two steps back, looking at the nurse carefully, huh...... The look looks excellent, the hairpin with the black hair is auspicious and ruyi, wearing a satin dress, except for the eyebrows and eyes are still familiar, Zhang Erzhen can't believe it - is this beautiful woman a nurse?
The nurse stretched out her hand to touch the girl in pain, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the girl who ran out behind her hugged the swaddling clothes and shouted: "Aunt Auntie, the little boy is crying again, I want to find you." ”
The nurse was busy hugging the baby in the swaddling clothes, Jin Qiu's eyes widened in surprise, her eyes went back and forth between the child and the nurse, and she wanted to open her mouth but didn't dare to open her mouth.
Zhang Erzhen's eyes were even more complicated, as if she was happy and sad, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Girl, let's go in and talk, here...... It's not a place to speak. The nurse said softly, her voice trembling.
Zhang Erzhen responded, walked into the Hu house first, and the nurse followed behind, patting the child who was still crying, wiping her tears, stumbling, and almost falling.
Entering the backyard, the maid led into the house, which is about where the nurse lives now, and there is a familiar and friendly atmosphere. Zhang Erzhen's eyes moved out of the swaddling clothes, and she said lightly: "Nurse...... Seeing how you're doing, I'm relieved. ”
The nurse still handed the crying children into the hands of the maid, and drove them out until the door was closed, and the nurse knelt on the ground and trembled: "Girl, girl, I didn't protect Mingyue, I'm sorry for her, I can't stand you, girl, slave and maid should die, slave and maid should die." ”
"No-" Zhang Erzhen shook her head and helped the nurse up, "Nurse, I will avenge Mingyue's revenge." You tell me, that kid ...... Is it voluntary or forced, don't worry, if you don't want to, I will avenge you, and I will take you away......" Zhang Erzhen said in a low voice, not decisive when she killed Zhu Youzong, but she was a little dazed, she never thought that the nurse would be someone else's aunt and give birth to her own child.
