Chapter 559: Scars
The clothes on the second princess were peeled off, revealing a scarred body.
Bruises from scratches and bites are everywhere.
Cheng Jinrong had already been mentally prepared, but when he saw it with his own eyes, his heart still trembled. In the past, Miss Jiang Er, who was gentle and smiling and generous, was now tossed to the point that she had lost all her vitality, like a withered and broken flower.
The second princess looked numb, and her eyes showed endless self-blame and remorse. Because of crying heavily, his voice was hoarse, almost inaudible: "Hongyun feels sorry for my master, knowing that the second prince is ruthless and vicious, he still musters up the courage to kneel down and stop it." Unexpectedly, she gave her life because of this, and was tortured by humiliation before she died. ”
"I was locked in the house, and I banged on the door desperately trying to save her. But the people who can guard the door are all palace people in the house. No matter how I cried, no one opened the door. ”
"Early this morning, the second prince ordered someone to open the door. I rushed out the door, and all I saw was Red Cloud's corpse. She was uncovered and did not have a single piece of flesh and skin on her body. That pretty face was marked with terrible blood. Her eyes were open until she died. ”
"It's all my fault. I hurt her! I hurt her......"
The tears of the second princess had dried up, and she couldn't cry anymore. She repeated it over and over again.
Cheng Jinrong felt sorry in his heart, but he didn't say anything to comfort him.
She understands the pain of the second princess.
Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, Hongyun is just a "mere" maid. The maid is a slave, and her net worth and life are in the hands of her master. If you die, you don't even need to sue the court.
The second prince blatantly abused the loyal Hongyun to death, and also saw that the Weiguo Mansion would never stand up for a maid. The second princess could only bear it silently.
But for the second princess, Hongyun, who grew up with her since she was a child, is like half a sister in her heart. Hongyun's death was a fatal blow to the second princess who tried her best to endure and almost obey it.
Such pain is by no means soothed by a few fluttering words.
Cheng Jinrong personally wiped the body of the second princess with warm water, carefully inspected every old injury, and applied medicine to her one by one.
The second princess was extremely tired, but she refused to close her eyes and fall asleep, as if she was masochistic, and kept her eyes open.
Cheng Jinrong sighed secretly in his heart, and finally whispered: "You can sleep for a while!" Harmony is not a trivial matter, and Da Chu has never had a precedent for the prince and the princess to reconcile. If you want to reconcile, there is still a tough battle to be fought next. ”
"If the body is broken, what can we talk about?"
The second princess finally moved, and looked at Cheng Jinrong.
Cheng Jinrong bowed his head slightly and looked at the second princess: "Actually, I shouldn't say these words." However, I also support you and leave. ”
Jump out of this fire pit!
The second princess's eyes flashed: "Sister Cheng, thank you." ”
This is the name of the boudoir in the old days.
Cheng Jinrong sighed in his heart, and reached out to hold the hand of the second princess: "You close your eyes and sleep, I am here to guard you." ”
Two tears slowly slid down the corners of his eyes.
The second princess closed her eyes, and as soon as her sad and tired mind relaxed, she fell asleep almost immediately. She was unsteady in her sleep, her brow furrowed, and she called out the name of the red cloud from time to time.
Cheng Jinrong silently stood by the bed.
……
An hour later, the Duchess of Wei Guo and the Princesses of Wei Guo were summoned to the palace together.
The second prince was also summoned to the Baohe Hall at the same time.
Emperor Xuanhe had a blue face and said angrily: "You bastard, kneel down for me!" ”
The second prince was not angry in his heart, knelt down, and did not forget to argue for himself: "Father, the Jiang family is not virtuous, and the maids around her dare to be disrespectful to her sons." Erchen was angry and took a maid to vent his anger. The Jiang clan actually went into the palace for this little thing......"
Before he could finish speaking, a jade paperweight was thrown over and slammed into his shoulder. Then, the jade paperweight fell to the ground and broke in two.
The second prince screamed in pain, and his painful face was a little distorted. Facing the angry Emperor Xuanhe, the second prince didn't dare to speak any more, but bowed his head and begged for mercy: "Erchen knows that he is wrong. Please calm your anger! ”
Emperor Xuanhe sneered: "You are the prince of Great Chu, a lowly maid will die when he dies, and the Weiguo Mansion will never fall out with you for the life of a maid." For the sake of his son, the Jiang family could only swallow his anger. That's the idea you're talking about! ”
This is a fact of the past.
A maid, dead and dead. He is a dignified son, can he still pay for his maid's life?
It was just through this incident that she warned the Jiang family and the people around her. Everyone in the Second Prince's Mansion has to obey him.
The second prince thought in his heart, and continued to admit his mistake: "Father, please calm your anger, the son was dizzy at the time, and he didn't think much about it at all. Originally, I just wanted to punish the maid, but I didn't want to start it harder. Erchen went to apologize to the Jiang family and treat her well in the future. ”
Emperor Xuanhe glanced coldly at the unashamed second prince: "The Jiang family wants to make peace with you!" She knelt and cried in the Jiaofang Hall until she fainted. ”
What the?
The second prince looked shocked and annoyed, and almost got up from the ground: "This Jiang clan dares to have such a ridiculous idea!" ”
The Great Chu Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and there has never been a precedent for the prince to reconcile and leave. When the Jiang clan entered the palace like this, they simply uncovered his face and threw him to the ground.
Emperor Xuanhe's face was covered with frost: "Your queen mother has already entered the palace of Duchess Xuanweiguo's mother-in-law." You go to the Jiaofang Hall now and apologize to the Jiang family. If you continue to make trouble, don't say that your face is completely lost, even my face will be lost by you. ”
The second prince was scolded for being bloody, and responded with a gloomy face.
……
In the Jiaofang Palace.
Duchess Wei Guo and Mrs. Wei Guo sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the second princess with a scarred face, and their eyes were red together.
Especially Mrs. Wei Guogong, she cried bitterly at that time: "Min'er, my Min'er, my mother's useless mother failed to protect you." You've suffered so much grievance......"
Hot tears dripped down the back of the second princess's hand.
The second princess slept for an hour and was in a slightly better spirit. She looked at her mother-in-law with tears in her eyes and said softly, "Mother, I want to reconcile." ”
He looked up at his grandmother with red eyes again: "Grandmother, my granddaughter is not filial, and I really can't stand it." The granddaughter wants to reconcile! ”
Duchess Wei Guo and Mrs. Wei Guogong were shocked at the same time.
Mrs. Weiguo Gongzi couldn't care about crying anymore, and immediately wiped her tears with her sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Min'er, my mother knows that you have been wronged. Hongyun is a loyal slave, and it is too wronged and miserable to die like this. My mother will definitely seek justice for you. The second prince must apologize to you. ”
"The word harmony and separation can not be easily spoken. You must not say any more. ”
