Chapter 98: Once upon a time
That night, a blizzard came, and in an instant, everything in the world was wrapped together, making it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. A horse-drawn carriage traveled at night, slowing down slightly as it passed through Huicheng, but it still did not avoid the strong wind blowing from the earth, and the four stone lamps hanging on the roof of the carriage were blown out in an instant.
In the carriage, Peach re-lit a lamp and said softly: "Pavilion master, we will be here to welcome guests soon, why don't you go there and take shelter for a while." ”
"yes, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Cherry hurriedly helped, and used her hand to block the window that was almost blown open by the wind and snow.
It's a pity that Chu Cailing was so anxious that she hurriedly shook her head, "It's coming soon, I want to see him soon." ”
The two of Cherry and Peach lowered their heads one after another, they knew the temper of the hall owner better than anyone else, and once they decided on something, they would do it in a desperate situation.
"Almost... Chu Cailing frowned slightly.
Peach counted the hours and said, "The garrison should have already gotten the complaint, but the hall owner, the prince is safe and sound, will he really arrest Wen Qing?" ”
Chu Cailing sneered: "That's Ah Yang's fate, I will never let him suffer all these years of grievances in vain." Don't worry, Wu Laichun doesn't dare to be disobedient. ”
......
At this time, Wu Laichun fell into a dilemma, from ancient times to the present, the garrison and the county palace are each performing their own duties, never crossing the line, but now a miraculous thing has happened, the former princess of the county sent a complaint and the emperor's warrant, telling him to go to the county palace to find out the death of the prince.
He knew that a few months ago, Yu Ke searched for Guo Zhaoyang everywhere to no avail, and even made a big fuss about the county king's mansion, but now Guo Zhaoyang is clearly safe and sound! What does Chu Cailing want to do? And this yellowed warrant is obviously an old thing, where did Chu Cailing get it?
The little guy outside is impatient, it seems that the princess of the county who was retired in his family is still high, Wu Laichun frowned, let's send a message to His Royal Highness first, Wu Laichun made up his mind, but just picked up the pen, hesitated, what did he want to write? The most important thing is to find out where this warrant came from, isn't it?
"Lord Garrison! What else to prepare! "Isn't it very clear?" The prince was assassinated by the princess of the county, and the young master of the Yu family can testify! ”
Wu Laichun gently put down the pen, it seemed that this little guy must not know, he got up and walked out.
When he arrived at the county king's mansion, no matter how aggressive that little guy was, Wu Laichun didn't say a word, he wasn't afraid, nor was he hiding, and he couldn't act rashly until some things were clarified.
"What are the guards waiting for!" The little guy stood up and pointed at Wu Lai Chun with disdain, "Don't you even pay attention to the emperor's warrant?" ”
Wu Laichun was unmoved, and said softly: "Since you have handed over the letter to the official to find out about the death of the prince, the official will naturally be responsible for the person who should be involved, and wait for your master to come." ”
"Don't say these official words! I think you're scared! I'm afraid of getting into trouble, I'm afraid of losing my official position! ”
"Don't be presumptuous!" An adjutant general finally couldn't help it.
But I heard a cold and hoarse voice coming from afar, "What if you are presumptuous!" Everyone turned around, Chu Cailing finally came, she slowly stepped out of the carriage, the frost in her eyes was more piercing than the wind and snow in the sky, "Wu Laichun, I haven't seen you all these years, you will shrink more and more." ”
Wu Laichun's eyes were like torches, and he said calmly: "The emperor often teaches officials to be cautious in words and deeds. ”
"Really? Then why did you disobey the will of the emperor? It seems that you have always been slandered, so you can live with peace of mind until now! ”
"I wonder if the owner of the Chu Pavilion can tell me where this warrant came from?"
Chu Cailing sneered: "Do you suspect it's fake? ”
Just because the big seal on the warrant is undoubtedly true, Wu Laichun will be suspicious, "The official doesn't dare, he just wants to figure it out." ”
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Chu Cailing looked away, she really didn't seem to speak, she nodded to the little guy in front of her, and saw that the little guy suddenly turned around and ran up the steps, slamming the door and shouting wildly, shouting out Wen Qing's little bit of detail, as well as the oppression of Guo Zhaoyang over the years.
Wu Laichun frowned and said, "Since you want this official to help you, you have to explain the matter first." ”
"What if you get it?" Chu Cailing shook off the big flicker, as if she didn't scold the little guy hard enough, and wanted to go up and smash the door in person, but saw Wu Laichun blocking her way, "Don't you want to arrest people?" Do you dare to resist the decree! ”
"The Son is still alive!"
This sentence is like a signal, and it quickly conveyed thousands of meanings in Chu Cailing's heart, don't look for trouble, she should thank God, she can't fight against the county king's mansion in her current identity, since she left, she shouldn't come back, she shouldn't hear these news, she shouldn't care!
"Don't talk to me in such a tone, I'm his mother, I naturally know he's alive!"
The door of the palace opened in an instant, and a sharp laugh came out, with a bright red dress and an arrogant posture, just like Chu Cailing saw her for the first time.
More than a dozen guards rushed out and blocked in front of the palace gate, and the shouting little guy just now was knocked to the ground by a stick, and he lost his breath in an instant.
The snow-white night was shattered by a shocking shade of red.
The surroundings were terrifying, only the sound of breathing from the wind and snow, Chu Cailing's heart was churning with anger, how dare she be so rampant! "You...
"Save it!" Wen Qing shouted, interrupting Chu Cailing's angry scolding, she had heard these words many years ago, if she was really defeated, it would be impossible to stand here now.
Chu Cailing's thoughts suddenly returned to the past, such a condescending, disdainful and disdainful look was very similar to her appearance at the beginning, but it was a pity that everything she originally held in her hand finally became the reason for Wen Qing to laugh at her.
"Don't look at this princess like that." Looking at Chu Cailing, who was on fire at the bottom, and the garrisons who were tied, Wen Qing suddenly felt very bored, she was afraid every day for her children, and the stupid woman below actually shouted for a murderer? "What? Did those people look at you and run out to support you? Why are you always so stupid? In the eyes of those people, you are not even as good as a dog! Otherwise, how could the position of the princess of this county be seated by this princess for eighteen years? ”
Wu Laichun's heart tightened, and his mind turned quickly, Wen Qing was not talking about the Sang family, who those people were could only be told by Guo Zhifeng, and after so many years, even if those people were once in high power, they may have faded out of people's field of vision now, and they will intersect with Chu Cailing... Only ... Blue...
"I'm not as good as you!" Chu Cailing approached step by step, "He looks at you so well, it's your business to beat you twice and wag your tail and beg for mercy, don't be embarrassed here, slut!" ”
Just when Chu Cailing was about to step up the steps to face Wen Qing, the guards of the County King's Mansion suddenly blocked her way, and the cold long sword was reflected in Wen Qing's eyes, and she sneered: "You should scold harder, so that everyone can see clearly how similar you are to the son of the world, and you are worthy of being your own mother and son." ”
Chu Cailing pushed the guards away, and gave Wen Qing a slap in the face unexpectedly, Wen Qing tilted to the side, those hairpins fell to the ground in an instant, and the nurse beside her wanted to make a move, but was pressed back by the two of Cherry and Peach in an instant, "Your mouth, you can add a dish to Guo Zhifeng." ”
"You still haven't changed." Wen Qing smoothed the hair, pushed away the guards in front of him, and said with a smile: "What if you can relieve your anger after fighting?" It used to be just that, but now do you know who you're fighting? ”
"Slut!" Chu Cailing didn't care what Wen Qing's identity was.
"The slut in your mouth is the princess of the county, the nominal mother of the prince! Chu Cailing, you won't forget, right? Eighteen years ago, but you left him by yourself, and for so many years, it was this princess who taught him! He has to call this princess his mother, not you! Eighteen years ago, you lost your identity because of your stupidity, and eighteen years later, you won't even want your life because of stupidity? Why do you have to live so pitifully? ”
Chu Cailing's backhand was another slap, Wen Qing, who only hit, fell to the ground, Wu Laichun couldn't see it well, and immediately signaled the deputy general next to him to step forward with a few people to stop him, but the little guy next to Chu Cailing was not a vegetarian, and he was motionless at the moment.
At this moment, the situation suddenly became tense, and it was clear that the garrison mansion was called by Chu Cailing to trouble Wen Qing, but now that he looks at it, it seems that he has come to protect Wen Qing.
Chu Cailing sneered: "Stupid people don't know it, they are the most pitiful, you are right, you should not be grateful to Dade as the princess of the county, sit back and relax, after all, this son can be replaced by anyone." So I have to thank you two dog men and women, if it weren't for you, there would be no Chu Cailing today, as for Ah Yang calling you a mother, you don't have to feel proud, you also warmed his father's bed for eighteen years, and when you die, there is no son to send you to the end, he is going to give you a ride. ”
"You..." Whenever someone says that Guo Zhaohui will die soon, Wen Qing wants to peel off his bones, especially if this person is Chu Cailing, Guo Zhaoyang's mother.
"This is retribution!"
"Chu Pavilion Master!" Wu Laichun shouted, pushed away those little guys and stepped forward, blocking Wen Qing's side, and then said: "Calm down first, no matter what you had before, don't forget the purpose of your coming today." He looked at Chu Cailing worriedly, as if he wanted to tell her that Wen Qing, as the princess of the county and Guo Zhaoyang's nominal mother, has a very good reputation in Haixing, and the people only say how the prince is not successful, but he has never said anything bad about the princess of the county, if Wen Qing takes advantage of this, Guo Zhaoyang will be doomed.
Wen Qing stood up slowly, didn't care about the hot pain in his cheeks at all, and said, "Wu Laichun, are you old and confused?" She committed the following crimes, and you still want to shield her? ”
"I've seen that over the years, you are not only stupid, but you are also getting more and more bold." Chu Cailing looked at Wen Qing with contempt, "Do you know who I am?" At the beginning, I was able to retreat with my whole body and create a spirit picking fruit, but it was not the name of the county king's mansion! ”
"So your hole card is an unknown warrant?" Wen Qing smiled, it's not that she doesn't believe it, it's just that Guo Zhifeng never told her about it, when Chu Cailing climbed the county king's mansion, what dare she hide? "For that alone, you are a capital offense!"
"If it's fake, will Wu Lai Chun appear here?" Chu Cailing turned her head slightly and said to Wu Laichun: "Hurry up, as long as you act impartially, I will tell you the origin of this warrant." ”
"The master of the Chu Pavilion might as well admit it now." Wu Laichun's eyes were burning, as if to say, if Chu Cailing didn't confess that he would leave immediately, who called the past of the county king's mansion too complicated, even the emperor didn't want to take care of it, he was just a garrison, why bother wading into this troubled water.
Wen Qing suddenly relaxed, she said, how could Wu Laichun not get along with the county king's mansion, "It's almost dawn, the prince will go out later, he is innocent, don't let him see this, and don't really let the people nearby see the jokes of the son's biological mother." ”
Ah Yang! Chu Cailing was stunned in her heart, and looked at the gate of the county king's mansion and saw God.
Wen Qing whispered a few words in a girl's ear, stepped aside and said to Chu Cailing: "The king of the county wants me to invite you in, if you are really a smart person, don't make any more trouble, even if the emperor comes in person today, I will not make any mistakes, your son is inside, if you want to see it, I will not stop it, but if you insist on using that warrant to let the garrison take me away, my words will be left here, in this life, you don't want to see Ayang, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”
There was some mist all around, and vaguely, Chu Cailing seemed to hear someone's crying, like Guo Zhaoyang's voice when she was a child, the ghost made the gods, she couldn't control her feet, but after listening to Wen Qing's words, people followed her in.
Wu Laichun listened to the words of the girl beside Wen Qing, his brows were furrowed more and more, he was right, it was really... Lan, if the Lan family was the Chu family's dependent, then this warrant is also very likely to come from the Lan family, but why? He was worried, got on his horse and galloped away, he had to tell Feng Mi everything that had just happened.
The little girl ran back to Wen Qing's side and whispered Wu Laichun's whereabouts, Wen Qing smiled shallowly, she didn't lie, Guo Zhifeng once told her that the reason why Chu Cailing became the princess of the county was that she couldn't get out of the Lan family, otherwise with the little capital of the Chu family, how could she climb to the county palace, but the Lan family didn't seem to want outsiders to know this, so she hadn't really shown up for so many years.
The nurse stepped forward and said, "Princess, that little thing is obviously not in the palace, why do these people come in?" In case the king of the county asks... ”
"It's her own that she has to publicize everywhere, if she really gets into trouble, this princess wants to see if the Lan family will really come forward to protect her! When the time comes, don't fall into the trap. Wen Qing looked at Chu Cailing's back, and the cruelty in her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, "Spread the news, it was she who opened her mouth to slander, and then made a big move, this princess will be assassinated by her for the sake of the prince." The humiliation she suffered just now, this princess will definitely want her to return a hundred times more. ”
The nurse looked solemn, bowed her head and left, and saw more than a dozen guards appear from the side, surrounding Chu Cailing and her party, and instantly tied up and gagged her mouth, not knowing where to take it.
Seeing Chu Cailing's crazy struggle and wailing, Wen Qing seemed to experience the pleasure of being the princess of the county, she had never been so comfortable, she said with a smile: "Whoever told your son to harm my son, I am not afraid to tell you, the county king and that little are not in the mansion, even if they are, it doesn't matter, don't you understand after so many years?" The king doesn't care about anything! He didn't even care that his son was dying, how could he ask an abandoned woman! And your son, whom you have abandoned for eighteen years, who hates you more than I do! This time, I must let you two taste my suffering, what does it mean to live but not to die! ”
