Chapter 177: One by one
There was a dead silence in the room.
Seeing this, one of Qingyunhou's staff coughed lightly and said softly: "Master Hou, the eldest prince and the second prince are siblings, the eldest prince is in danger, and the second prince goes to visit, which is not only a deep brotherhood, but also human nature, not to mention that there is also Lord Xiao Chen there." It may not be a good thing for their brothers to talk about their hearts and solve some misunderstandings in the past. ”
What misunderstanding can the eldest prince and the second prince have, it's just that they want to take each other's property. The so-called solution of misunderstanding is just to see if an alliance can be formed.
The people in the room knew each other in their hearts.
Qingyunhou thought for a while, bowed slightly, and asked the second prince: "What do you think?" ”
The second prince hated Chen Luo the most.
The eldest prince has not dealt with him since he was a child, and it was supposed to be life and death between them, but Chen Luo should not never return, but when he arrived at the eldest prince's side, he didn't even give him a word.
He didn't want to "release his old suspicions" with the eldest prince, but he wanted to ask Chen Luo what he thought.
"Good!" He said with red eyes, "Uncle lends me a team of people, and I'm going to Zhenwu Temple." ”
When the prince travels, he has his own personal guards, but in this situation, who dares to really hand over his life to the royal guards?
Qingyunhou nodded, and went to arrange it without mentioning it.
Wang Xi's side has already obtained the letter of the big shopkeeper, knowing that Chen Luo is hiding in the Zhenwu Temple, she can't help but fold her hands together, and recite "Amitabha Buddha" to the west sky, thinking that after the matter, she must go to Zhenwu Temple to donate sesame oil money, and go to Yunju Temple to repay her vows - the small Buddha hall in the inner house of Yongcheng Hou Mansion is Guanyin Bodhisattva who was invited back from Yunju Temple, and she naturally has to go to Yunju Temple to repay her vows.
Bai Guo and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Guo also asked Wang Xi: "Do you want to bring something to Lord Chen?" ”
"No!" Wang Xi said, "Zhenwu Temple's Xiaoyaozi has excellent medical skills, if Lord Chen is injured, he can't treat it, and it's useless for others to go." If Lord Chen is safe and sound, we will also go to deliver things, in case someone finds out, it will become Lord Chen's handle. We'll just wait in the house for him to return safely. ”
Bai Guo nodded a few times, but he couldn't help but discuss in private: "The eldest lady is becoming more and more like an old lady." When the old man was in distress, the old lady did just that. It's a pity that the eldest lady is a woman, otherwise she will definitely be able to help the uncle. ”
Mama Wang happened to come in with a plate of oranges, and when she heard the words, she scolded lightly: "Don't talk nonsense here." The uncle didn't want to marry the eldest lady in the first place, and if you coax it like this again, if the uncle really has the heart to recruit the eldest lady, it will be troublesome. ”
Several people laughed and scattered.
Mama Wang was worried about her son, so she put the orange in front of the case and confessed, waved her hand towards the Guanyin statue, and secretly recited a few words of "Bless my son's safety", and then went to Wang Xi.
By the afternoon, everyone would know the news of the assassination of the eldest prince.
Everyone has an account in their hearts.
Now in a peaceful and prosperous world, in the capital, there is actually a prince who has been assassinated, and no one will believe it if there is no conspiracy in this matter.
When the news spread in the backyard of the Yongcheng Marquis's Mansion, everyone was stunned, whether it was the master or the servant, they all got together in twos and threes and gossiped.
Shi Zhu was even more like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, dragging Mama Shan and saying, "This matter won't affect the Shi family, right?" ”
She only knew that her father's subordinates who served in the Datong General Military Mansion in the past were transferred to the capital, and some of these people were on errands beside the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was assassinated, and the people around him would definitely be liquidated, and she was worried that the Shi family would be implicated.
Mama Shan didn't know more than her, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and ask Mr. Huang." ”
Mr. Huang is a staff member sent by the Shi family from Yulin a few days ago, and lives in the former mansion of the Shi family.
Shi Zhu nodded, fidgeted for an afternoon, and took leave to Mrs. Tai during dinner in the evening, saying that she was not feeling well and would not go to greet Mrs. Tai.
If it was usual, Mrs. Tai would have sent someone to say hello, but today, the Marquis of Yongcheng came to Mrs. Tai's side for dinner, and she couldn't take care of Shi Zhu for a while.
Shi Zhu fell idle.
The Marquis of Yongcheng said to Mrs. Tai repeatedly in private: "It's not that I, who is a nephew, don't help my uncle, it's really that my uncle has gone too far this time." For the sake of a daughter, he actually assassinated Chen Luo when he went to save the eldest prince. Even the emperor knew. The eldest princess is still crying with the queen mother, this matter will not be so easy to forget. Do you have to be prepared to help your uncle? Or is it not easy to sympathize with your sons? ”
Mrs. Tai's face turned white when she heard this, and her hand holding the teacup kept shaking, and said, "Could it be a mistake?" No matter how much he loves Ah Zhu, he can't ignore the whole family! ”
When Yongcheng Hou was young, he looked down on his father for being unkind to his children, but the older he gets, the more his personality looks like the old Yongcheng Hou and he doesn't know it. He said coldly: "That's Shi Zhu's own idea." She has always had a big heart, but now that she has been calculated by Chen Ying, she can't marry in the palace, so she wants to be the wife of the prince of the world, and she can't tolerate Chen Luo. ”
Mrs. Tai was so frightened that the tea was spilled.
What does this have to do with Shi Zhu?
Why should the woman be blamed for the accident of the man in the family?
She mourned and shouted, "My son," and said with a pale face: "I can't say that." In any case, the Shi family is your uncle's family in the end, and if they are unlucky, your face will be disgraced. ”
Yongcheng Hou looked at his mother and did not speak.
Mrs. Tai swallowed her saliva, and said with difficulty for a while: "You are a piece of meat that fell from my body, and I am naturally defending you." Don't meddle in the affairs of the Shi family, whether it's good or bad, let the emperor have the final say! ”
She pleaded.
After a long time, the Marquis of Yongcheng nodded lightly.
Shi Zhu waited until the second watch drum to see Mama Shan.
The early autumn night eliminated the heat of the day, and it was originally the most refreshing and cool time of the day, but Mama Shan's heart was like being immersed in an ice cave.
She pounced on Shi Zhu, held Shi Zhu's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang went out of the city, saying that he wanted to avoid the limelight." ”
Shi Zhu sighed in his heart, as if he heard the sound of something breaking, but he didn't have time to think about it, and the words blurted out: "What's wrong?" Why did Mr. Huang go out of the city to avoid the limelight? ”
Mama Shan trembled and said: "It is said that there is an official who impeached our master, and said that when the master was the chief soldier of Datong, he took the lead to lead the army, and asked the emperor to cure the master's crimes!" After saying that, she was so scared that she couldn't help crying.
Since the Shi family has made up their minds to send Shi Zhu to the palace since she was a child, in addition to the female red needlework, she is not allowed to study, and she also reads with her brothers at home, she reads better than her brothers, which is one of the reasons why she doesn't look down on the girls around her.
She immediately realized that the matter of the eldest prince was still dragging down her father.
Otherwise, why didn't those officials impeach sooner or later, but at this time, they were impeached, and what was impeached was her father's time in Datong?
She asked with a white face, "What about Lord Yu?" Did you go to Lord Yu's place to do something? ”
Mama Shan shook her head and said, "No." Lord Yu was also impeached, saying that he was shielding our master, and said that the reason why our master dared to be so arrogant was because of Lord Yu, and he also said that our master bribed Lord Yu. Now Lord Yu has been called into the palace by the emperor and has not come out yet! ”
Shi Zhu's legs were weak and he sat down on the Taishi chair behind him.
She didn't expect things to be so grim.
What about her marriage to Chen Ying......
She was overjoyed.
With the snobbery of the Chen family, it shouldn't count, right?
But if it really doesn't count, then where does she go from here?
Her father sent someone to the capital, but not only did he not contact her, but he did not even bring her a word. The family has always been silent about her marriage, and her father must be disappointed, right?
She thought about when she was a child, when her fourth brother did not win the battle with his subordinates, and her father pressed her fourth brother to the ground and whipped him thirty times.
She is now, in the eyes of her father, she is probably the same as the fourth brother at that time, right?
Shi Zhu smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that the world was so big, but there was no place for her.
In other words, if she wants to have a place to stay, she can only figure it out by herself.
So, what should she do?
Shi Zhu bit her nails.
She hadn't bitten her nails since she was six years old, and she didn't expect that at this time, those bad habits from her childhood would pop up again.
Shi Zhu lowered her eyelids.
*
Chen Jue was furious.
She circled in front of her brother, frowning and muttering, "How can this be? Shi Zhu: Did she have water in her brain? actually asked people to kill Chen Luo. Chen Luo is dead, does she think things will go as she wants? The Shi family is also crazy, who doesn't listen to Shi Zhu. Shi Zhu told them to kill, and they went. Shi Zhu asked them to go jumping in the lake, will they go? ”
Speaking of this, she turned around abruptly, looked at Chen Ying, who had been sitting on the rose chair next to her without saying a word, and said, "Why did you fall in love with such a woman?" Killing people and overselling goods is not scared at all. I don't like Chen Luo, but I didn't think about killing Chen Luo myself. ...... the hell she What kind of person is he? ”
Chen Ying is more aggrieved than Chen Jue.
No wonder the third prince and the fifth prince are reluctant to get involved in Shi Zhu.
Shi Zhu is completely crazy.
She dared to do such a big thing.
Isn't she afraid of the emperor's blame?
With such a woman for the rest of his life, can he grow old safely?
Chen Ying shuddered, regretting her reckless decision in her heart, but what's the use of regretting at this time? It will only make his sister more angry, he can only admit it hard, open his eyes and defend Shi Zhu with nonsense: "This matter is just a rumor, why should my sister listen to the wind and rain?" I think instead of speculating here, we should ask Shi Zhu. She has always been arrogant, and if it was really her, she would not deny it. ”
Chen Jue felt sour when he heard it, and said: "This is really a typical daughter-in-law who forgets her mother." Look at the tone of your speech, and 'she has always been arrogant', I don't know, when did you know Shi Zhu so well. It seems that the queen's decree is quite right, no, it has become a couple! ”
"Sister!" Chen Ying said helplessly.
Chen Jue didn't bother to care about this, and waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive Chen Ying's words away from his ears, and said, "Your brother-in-law said that this matter is big or small." To put it mildly, it was Shi Zhu who wanted you to be the son of the world and wanted to kill Chen Luo. To put it mildly, it was you who used Shi Zhu to let the Shi family help you kill Chen Luo. Have you figured out what to do? ”
Chen Ying was even more annoyed in her heart, and said, "What do you want me to do?" Could it be that when I see someone, I will explain and say that Chen Luo's matter has nothing to do with me? ”
