CHAPTER XIX
Cui Yuzhu secretly went out for most of the day, and when she came back, she found that no one noticed except for Chuncao.
Therefore, when the guard's mother-in-law saw that it was her who knocked on the door, she was really frightened. Of course, under her intimidation and temptation, she did not dare to inform her mother about it, and this matter passed like this.
I have to say that she chose the time to go out quite cleverly, after lunch, it was the time when people were sleepy, and the guards were lax at that time, which gave her an opportunity.
According to her habit of napping in the past, she can sleep for almost an hour.
Chuncao was also going to wake her up an hour later only to find out that she was gone, Cui Yuzhu naturally left a note, but despite this, after seeing her come back, Chuncao still cried a lot.
"Girl, are you back...... I'm scared to death the slave! "Chuncao is really afraid, if Cui Yuzhu has a good one, she will be the first to suffer.
"You have been going for so long, and Madame just sent someone to ask, and the slave said that you are in a bad mood, and you are alone in the house and there is no one, but fortunately you are back, otherwise how can the slave and the maid explain to Madame?"
Cui Yuzhu was also a little weak-hearted, and she said in a low voice: "Chun'er, it's hard for you." You know, I really can't rest assured that Mu Qing, but my mother won't allow me to go out, and I have no choice but to make this decision. ”
"If you really want to go out, you should take the slave with you, otherwise the slave and the maid really can't rest assured."
"You can rest assured, there will be no more examples."
"Hmm." Chuncao wiped her tears, "By the way, Miss Xue of the Weiguo family sent you something, do you want to see it now?" ”
Xue Fangfei?
Cui Yuzhu didn't remember having an appointment with her, and it wasn't an important thing to think about, so she shook her head, "Take a bath first." ”
After eating and taking a bath, Cui Yuzhu remembered this stubble before going to bed and was busy calling the spring grass.
"What did Xue Fangfei send to me?"
Chuncao replied: "It's a wooden box, and the slave didn't open it." ”
Cui Yuzhu said in her heart: Xue Fangfei sent a wooden box to do something, don't send it to the wrong person.
"Bring it and I'll take a look."
As soon as the box was in hand, Cui Yuzhu felt heavy, and then looked closely, the surface of the box was shining, the tentacles were silky, and there were gold threads floating like silk.
The box is also engraved with a picture of butterflies and lotus flowers, which is finely carved, and there is a light fragrance when smelling.
Isn't this box from Jinxin Nanmu?
Cui Yuzhu chuckled in her heart, and said in her heart: What did Xue Fangfei give me to use such a valuable box to contain?
It must be known that this golden-hearted nanmu is not a royal clan, and it is rare for ordinary people to see it, even if it is a scholarly family like her Cui family, there are only a few treasures handed down from their ancestors.
She was so generous in the Patriotic Mansion, so she gave away this golden bump casually?
Cui Yuzhu couldn't resist her curiosity and opened the box, which contained a white porcelain bottle, a note, and a purse.
She opened the folded note, and there was a line of words written in it: The name of this medicine is worry-free, and taking it before going to bed can ensure a good night's sleep.
What did Xue Fangfei give her medicine for?
Cui Yuzhu blinked, there was a short circuit in her brain for a moment, and suddenly she thought of something, and then shouted "Ah! After standing up.
Could it be that this was not sent by Xue Fangfei? Did he pretend to send it to Xue Fangfei, the daughter of Duke Weiguo? The "he" here is naturally the benefactor who is in his heart.
Seeing her surprised and happy appearance, Chuncao hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
After thinking about it, Cui Yuzhu was so happy that she held the box and turned around twice, realizing that Chuncao was still there, so she changed back to her reserved appearance.
She shook her head, raised her eyes and smiled, "It's nothing. ”
After sending out the spring grass, Cui Yuzhu opened the purse in the box, and inside was a pair of high-quality amethyst tassel earrings.
It's beautiful!
Cui Yuzhu put the earrings in her palm and admired them for a moment, and finally couldn't help but put them on and looked at them in front of the mirror.
It's just that I can't guess his intention of sending earrings to her for a while, it can't be that she sent him a jade pendant, so he will return her one, right?
The material and craftsmanship of this pendant are all of the highest quality, how can Orion afford it?
Let's not mention this first, the box alone is worth 100 gold, right?
Maybe......
Cui Yuzhu had a rough guess in her heart.
He is not an Orion.
……
The next day, the East Palace.
The first prince subordinate official said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the king of Qin has already set off." ”
The prince waved his hand and sighed: "No one can stop him, Gu has expected it a long time ago." ”
Although the prince is a little fatter, he is not stumbling, he was born to Emperor Jingwen, and naturally he is three points like him.
It's a pity that even if he is a prince under one person and above ten thousand, his eyes have no brilliance.
"King Qin has been disrespectful to the crown prince in the past, and when he comes back from Yunchuan this time, his prestige will definitely increase, and it will not be good when the time comes......"
"Well, don't you think it's ridiculous to say that now? My father has long intended to abolish me, so what's the use of me even if I do well, let alone ......"
Not to mention...... Lonely with foot disease.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't say such frustrating things, isn't he already looking for a famous doctor, he will always get better."
"What if you find it, and what if you can't find it? Do you think that the prince can sit for a long time? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... "Seeing him so decadent, both eyes were red.
The prince waved his hand, "That's it, let Gu be quiet." ”
The subordinate official of the East Palace rolled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, and when he retreated to the door, he saw a palace beauty standing behind him, and he hurriedly knelt down to greet her, "I've seen the crown princess." ”
It turned out that this woman was the crown princess.
"No courtesy."
"Your Majesty retires."
When he left, he glanced back at the back of the crown princess, and said in his heart: The crown princess is here, I think I can comfort the prince, if it is really so decadent...... But it really collapsed without a fight.
The crown princess is a gentle and virtuous woman, and she had a good reputation before marrying the prince, so she was pointed out to the crown prince by Empress Shangguan.
The two are a teenager husband and wife, and their relationship has always been very good.
"Your Highness, you see that the concubine has brought you a snack, please try it."
When the prince saw that she was coming, his gloomy mood was somewhat dissipated, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Seeing that he only picked it up and took a bite and then stopped eating, the crown princess knew that he was in a bad mood, so she asked, "Your Highness, do you have something to worry about?" ”
The prince shook his head.
"If you don't say it, the concubine can guess it." The crown princess said, "Is it for Lord Zheng's business a few days ago?" ”
The prince sighed, "He begged Gu to save Zheng Hao's life, and Gu did it, but ......"
The crown princess knew the absurdity of the previous days, and also knew that the prince was reprimanded by the saint in the palace, she originally thought that the prince was sad because of being blamed by the saint, but she didn't expect that there might be another reason.
The prince said: "Zheng Hao was temporarily imprisoned in the criminal department, and before he had time to say hello, he had been ...... Alas, Lord Zheng was very sad to learn of this, although he didn't say anything, but Lone knew that he must have a mustard in his heart. ”
The crown princess asked, "Zheng Hao is dead?" ”
The prince shook his head, "Not dead...... But after some punishment, it has ...... Inhumane. ”
The crown princess exclaimed, "Who did this, so vicious?" ”
Zheng Yuan is the prince's person, how can the prince not know that the Zheng family is at fault, but thinking that the big mistake has not been successful, it is better to turn the conflict into a jade silk, pull a line for the two families, and Xu Neng can achieve a marriage, but I didn't expect things to be like this......
"Who do you think could do it? It's a good fourth brother of Lonely......"
"His personality has always been like this, if he wants to do something, even his father can't stop him......"
"No, it's not unstoppable...... Where would my father care about these things, he was so partial......"
The crown princess quietly listened to his grievances and silently helped him add a cup of tea.
……
Wei Wangfu.
King Wei sat in the study, angrily sweeping away all the things on the desk, "Damn! Let the fourth child be in the limelight again! What Disaster Relief? It's nothing more than going through the motions and coming back and earning a good reputation! The father is really eccentric, and he only thinks about him for any good thing! ”
King Wei's attendant said: "The slave maid heard that yesterday King Qin personally led a thousand Black Eagle Guards to the household department to ask for food, and taught the left servant a good lesson, and I think it will also offend those people in the household department." ”
King Wei was even more angry, "Why did he go to the household department to make a fuss, not only did his father blame him, but he dismissed Li Shuisheng's official today!" Lone returned and said what Li Shuisheng had done, it was so! ”
scolded again: "What bullshit Black Eagle Guard, the fourth brother raised so many private soldiers, and the emperor didn't care about it!" The father is really confused, and he doesn't want to think about it, where does the fourth child's money come from? Maybe it's embezzlement and bribery, and it's looting the people's fat and people's ointment! It stands to reason that Dali Temple should be asked to investigate him, and he will be able to find out something! ”
"Your Highness's words are reasonable, why don't we take advantage of his trip to Yunchuan and send someone into King Qin's Mansion to check if there are any account books or anything like that...... If so, it is irrefutable evidence. ”
King Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, "Yes, yes! This matter will be handed over to you to do, if you really find out any clues, you will be rewarded! ”
King Wei has an irritable personality and is somewhat extreme. There are many brothers, and what he hates most is his good fourth brother, King Qin, as a son-in-law, has the favor of his father, and the Shangguan family supports him behind him, and he takes all the benefits.
What's even more hateful is that the same son of his father, the fourth child's face is seven or eight points similar to his father's! Therefore, those old men who think very highly of themselves are also respectful when they see him, and most of the entire court meeting has been enveloped by him!
It's really infuriating!
We must not let the fourth child go on like this!
