Chapter 63: Chaos
After Wei Jin left, Emperor Jianyuan pinched his eyebrows and instructed Feng Hui: "Send the confession to Princess Fuqing's mansion and tell Fuqing: There will be a next time, I will not tolerate it!" β
This daughter was even bolder than Emperor Jianyuan expected, and she intercepted Chen Wei halfway, and she did it to her.
"Your Majesty, where is King Cheng......" Feng Hui secretly looked at Emperor Jianyuan's face and asked cautiously.
"Let him go and repair the Emperor's Mausoleum!" When mentioning this son, Emperor Jianyuan's eyebrows subconsciously wrinkled, which shows how disgusted he is.
In Emperor Jianyuan's heart, his daughter did something to Chen Wei because she wanted to avenge her mother's murder, and her feelings were pitiful. Wei Chi is involved in it, but he covets the throne, and his heart can be punished!
Wei Chi, the son of Wei Chi, has been an abandoned son for Emperor Jianyuan since he was born, and it should not be his thing, so he is not allowed to think about it.
β¦β¦
East Palace.
The prince couldn't wait for a long time, and Chen Rong couldn't help but look forward to it.
Hearing that the palace people said that the prince had already returned to Ganquan Palace, Chen Rong hurriedly rushed over from Ganlu Palace.
When I arrived at the inner hall, I saw that on the Luohan couch near the window, Wei Jin removed the hair crown, and his long hair was scattered and draped over his shoulders. He looked like he had been bathed, and there was a faint amount of moisture oozing from his hair. If you smell it closely, there is still a fragrance of bath beans on your body.
"Cousin, you're back, why don't you send someone to tell me."
Chen Rong walked in a hurry, her pale face floated with two clusters of red, becoming red, her lips were pink, and her eyes that were swollen from crying were even more watery, and she looked at Wei Jin with resentment.
If Chen Rong had made such a gesture of wanting to talk and cry like a complaint, Wei Jin would have been distressed a long time ago.
But today, Wei Jin turned his eyes lightly, and his tone was cold: "Rong'er, do you have anything to say to me?" β
Wei Jin's cold attitude made Chen Rong stunned. She bit her lip, took the initiative to sit next to Wei Jin, and asked with a coquettish face, "Cousin, why do you say that?" But what did Rong'er do wrong? β
Wei Jin didn't expect that at this time, his wife was still hiding from herself. He pulled the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly, and said with a bitter face: "In your heart, am I no different from a fool?" β
"Cousin, how can you say that?" In the face of Wei Jin's accusation, Chen Rong was confused and felt very hurt in her heart.
Crystal tears overflowed her eyes, rolling down her cheeks, Chen Rong's face was full of pear blossoms, and she asked extremely aggrievedly: "Cousin, when did I lie to you?" β
"Rong'er, who sent you the news of your father-in-law's death?" The exhaustion in Wei Jin's heart was indescribable, he could neither face his wife's tears nor accept his wife's deception of him.
Seems...... Those vows are just a joke.
"Cousin, what do you mean by that?" Chen Rong didn't understand why Wei Jin would say that.
"The person who told me the news was the one my aunt left to me. How could my cousin doubt me because of this? β
Wei Jin sneered, looked at Chen Rong with a pair of eyes, and said lightly: "Is it the person left by my mother to you, or the spies that the Chen family planted in the harem?" β
With a "poof", Chen Rong's nurse's knees weakened and fell to the ground.
Wei Jin's eyes immediately narrowed, and his knife-like gaze pierced the woman who was kneeling on the ground.
Only Chen Rong was still out of the situation, she looked at her nurse trembling like sifting chaff, and said puzzledly: "Mama, what's wrong with you?" But not feeling well? It's cold on the ground, get up quickly. β
"Mother, mother, mother......" Mama Chen said tremblingly, the cold sweat on her forehead dripped on the big red gold grape pattern paved in the hall, she kowtowed heavily, and pleaded guilty to the prince on the couch: "The old slave is guilty, please punish His Royal Highness the prince and the princess." β
"Mama, what are you talking about?" Chen Rong looked at the nurse who was trembling and pleading with herself, and even stopped her tears, she looked at the palace maid on the side: "What are you doing in a daze, you still don't accept Mama." β
"Wait!" Wei Jin drank the palace maid's movements, he looked at the slave kneeling on the ground coldly, and his voice was cold: "Where is your sin?" β
"Old slave, old slave...... Chunlan, the palace maid of Linhua Palace, is the old slave who has been contacting her, she is a servant of the Chen family, but the crown princess doesn't know about it at all! Mama Chen didn't know how much news His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had that was unfavorable to the Crown Princess, so she said lightly.
"What Gu asks is, who is the real master of this palace maid? Isn't it the Chen family! Wei Jin was very dissatisfied with this old woman's perfunctory, his voice was cold, and the light in his ink eyes was like a cold sword.
Mama Chen choked, she pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
The deed of sale of Chunlan's family was in the hands of the uncle. Since the death of Princess Yong, every time Chunlan transmits news to the outside world, it is to Changping Bofu.
"Needless to say, Lone already understands." Even though this was the expected answer, Wei Jin still felt a chill in his teeth.
What does my uncle want to do? Spying on the palace, this is a big crime of stealing the family and destroying the clan, not to mention the serious crimes of selling officials and disregarding people's lives.
The father only removed the title of the Chen family, and it was already for the sake of his own face as the crown prince.
In vain, he also pleaded with his uncle, and he didn't care that his father would be so disappointed in him!
"Cousin, Chunlan is a servant of the Chen family, what's wrong with the Chen family in her heart? Can my father still hurt you? β
Chen Rong thought she understood the key to the matter, she was puzzled and disappointed, and asked with red eyes: "Cousin, are you doubting my father?" β
His father treats his cousin, a nephew, better than his parents, but his cousin is suspicious of his father, how can he be so ruthless.
Wei Jin pinched his eyebrows extremely weakly, his wife didn't get involved, Wei Jin was glad in his heart, which showed that his wife did not hide her.
But his wife's political sensitivity was so low, but Wei Jin was powerless for a while, and he didn't even know how to explain the powerful relationship to his wife.
"Rong'er, you have married to the East Palace, everything must be in the interests of the East Palace, even if it is not for me, for your own sake, you must do this." Wei Jin said earnestly.
If it weren't for the uncle's hand stretched out too long, it would have reached into his father's harem! How could Rong'er be affected by her uncle!
The father was already very dissatisfied with Rong'er, and now he gave himself a side concubine, which is a lesson for Rong'er and the Chen family!
Although the deceased was the greatest, in the face of the mess left by his uncle, it was impossible for Wei Jin to have no resentment in his heart.
The defeat of the Chen family, to put it bluntly, is because his uncle not only has a loss of personal morality and is not prudent, but also arrogant and greedy, so he will bury the root of the curse and be uprooted by his father, and he is no one else!
As for the death of my uncle...... One day, he will find out the truth and avenge his uncle.
"Cousin, what do you mean? Do you want me to ignore the Chen family? Chen Rong looked at Wei Jin in disbelief, her eyes sad and desperate: "The Chen family...... Just because the Chen family has no way to help their cousin anymore, is it regarded as an outcast by their cousin? β
"Rong'er, I didn't mean that." The Chen family is Wei Jin's maternal family, but since Wei Jin sat on the throne of the crown prince, the Chen family has always relied on him, and Wei Jin has never received any great benefits from the Chen family.
But you can't say this to your wife.
"Rong'er, my father is already very dissatisfied with you, do you understand?" Wei Jin didn't know how to explain to his wife, so he simply broke the jar and said.
When Chen Rong heard this, her tears fell even more fiercely, her gorgeous face was like a begonia torn by wind and rain, and her reluctant smile was even more full of endless sadness and sadness.
"I know that my father has always disliked me, and Xie Yanhe is the daughter-in-law who can satisfy my father. But, cousin, do you think so? Do you regret it? Regret marrying me......"
In the end, Chen Rong couldn't cry.
Looking at his wife's tearful eyes and heartbroken, Wei Jin gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Rong'er, I have never regretted marrying you." But it's time for you to grow up. Uncle...... Uncle, he's gone. β
The long pain is better than the short pain, rather than letting the wife live in the fantasy, it is better to be this evil person yourself and break it with your own hands.
"Gone?" Chen Rong raised her head with a dull gaze and said in a trembling voice, "Father, are you really gone?" Let's go! β
When she received the bloody jade pendant, Chen Rong still had a trace of luck in her heart, but now, ......
Chen Rong only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and the person completely fainted......
There was a sudden chaos in the East Palace.
β¦β¦
The Marquis of Jingping's Mansion is quiet. Even just now, Xie Yanhe received the news of Chen Wei's death.
Xie Yanhe put down the jade tube pen in his hand, cleaned his hands in the copper basin, and then took off the silver-gilt silk turquoise pressed sleeve on the sleeve and threw it in the tray.
The crystal bead curtain shook.
Mama Gong brought a plate of newly made yokan from the kitchen, bowed her knees to Xie Yanhe, and said with a smile: "You taste it, this is the craft of the northland, I don't know if you are used to eating it." β
"Mama came just in time, I'm just a little hungry." Xie Yanhe held the handkerchief, pinched a rose-shaped snack on the jade chrysanthemum plate, and sent it into the lip petal.
The finely minced mutton particles exploded on the tip of the tongue, fresh and tender, without a hint of smell, and after swallowing, there was still a faint milky aroma between the lips and tongue.
Xie Yanhe's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and praised: "The taste of the world is nothing more than that, Amber, reward this cook with ten taels of silver." β
Xie Yanhe's mouth was raised by Emperor Jianyuan, and ordinary snacks couldn't get into her eyes at all.
"Yes, county lord." Amber took the order and left.
Mama Gong glanced at the maids in the room, and when only Mandarin Duck was left in the room, she whispered: "County Lord, do you think that Chen Wei's death was done by whom?" β
"What do you think?" Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows, and threw the question back with a light smile.
When Mama Gong heard this, she dipped her index finger in the tea in the cup, wrote two words on the table, and then wiped them off with a handkerchief.
"Mama guessed right." Xie Yanhe's eyes narrowed slightly, a pair of peach-blossom eyes seemed to fall into the stars, and she said lightly: "I just don't know, Your Majesty wants to make this scapegoat." β
Xie Yan and understand Emperor Jianyuan.
Princess Fuqing is much more favored than the remaining princes and princesses here today, but Chen Wei has a life, and His Majesty will not blame his daughter at all. And, for the brother and sister relationship between Princess Fuqing and the prince, I will also help Princess Fuqing finish it.
But the prince is not a fool, and in order not to make the prince suspicious, His Majesty is bound to throw other bait to divert the prince's attention.
"The county lord knows that the holy decree is clear, and His Majesty has pointed out the daughter of the side branch of the Duke of Chu as Donggong Liangdi?" This is not good news for his master. Mama Gong's tone was not without worry.
"Mama, that's because you don't know Princess Fuqing." Xie Yanhe pursed her lips, her red cherry lips hooked a delicate smile like a flower, and she said faintly: "For Princess Fuqing, His Majesty's appeasement is not only useless, but it is a humiliation to Princess Fuqing. What she wants is for Wei Jin and everyone in the Chen family to accompany Concubine Lin Guifei to the funeral! β
Probably fathers are always naΓ―ve, thinking that the grudges between their children can be resolved. As everyone knows, between their children, it has long been an endless situation.
"Mama, help me prepare a prayer post, this will be sent to Princess Fuqing's mansion, and I will visit the princess's mansion tomorrow."
Xie Yanhe needed to go and talk to Princess Fuqing immediately, so that she could decide her next move.
β¦β¦
Princess Fuqing Mansion.
After receiving Feng Hui's message, Princess Fuqing's face was extremely ugly. As soon as Feng Hui left, Princess Fuqing couldn't help but sweep all her favorite set of tea sets under the table.
With the sound of broken porcelain, Princess Fuqing said viciously: "If my father wants to dispose of me, then he can dispose of it!" Anyway, I'm a princess too! β
"Your Highness, don't be angry yet." Liu Ying glanced at the girl in the room. Immediately, a servant girl stepped forward silently and swept the ground clean.
"My Highness, you have to think about the good." Liu Ying said softly.
"Benefits?! My father warned me and let the daughter of the Chu family marry into the East Palace, isn't this a slap in the face? The more Princess Fuqing thought about it, the more angry she became, "How can Chen Rong, a slut, let the daughter of the Chu family succumb to her, and she is also worthy!" β
"Your Highness, do you know who this Chu family girl is? is just a side branch of the Duke of Chu, and she is still a concubine. β
Liu Ying knew that Princess Fuqing was dustless, and she didn't know who the daughter of the Chu family was married to Her Majesty, and of course she didn't understand the deep meaning of Your Majesty's doing.
Princess Fuqing temporarily suppressed her anger and said suspiciously, "Isn't it the cousin of the concubine?" β
Princess Fuqing didn't like the old ancestor of the Chu State Mansion, and never had dealings with the Chu State Mansion.
Usually during the New Year's holidays, she only goes to her aunt. Therefore, except for Chu Yan, Princess Fuqing does not know much about the relatives of the Chu family.
