Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Brothers' Partition
Seeing that Song Zilan was to the point, it was obvious that his patience had run out, and Zichu stopped going around in circles, and said unhurriedly: "I want you to find out the truth of one thing for me, and as a condition, I will cancel the marriage contract with Sheng Chonghua, and you will avenge my mother." ”
Song Zilan couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this, and said, "What? You said you want me to trade this for this? That's not going to work. I don't know anything about this, where are you going to ask you? ”
"It's very simple, you don't know, but your mother must know the inside story. As long as you try to ask for the truth from your mother, as long as I find out, you can marry Sheng Chonghua right away. ”
Song Zilan shook her head again and smiled bitterly: "My mother? You are not unaware of her personality, and in her heart, her son and glory and wealth are far more important than our daughters. Do you think she would say such an important thing out of concern for my marriage? ”
"That's what you're capable of, but I'll tell you something. You don't have to wait any longer, you can wait, but the baby in your belly can't wait. Anyway, I don't think you want your child to be criticized or unjustifiable when you're born, right? ”
Zichu's words were like a powerful sharp blade, piercing deeply into Song Zilan's heart. She thought for a long time with a pale face, and finally nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, I promise you, but I hope that you can keep your promise." ”
"Of course I keep my promise, I can still swear to God, if I have the slightest interest in a horse man like Sheng Chonghua, let me be called five thunderbolts in the sky."
"You're .......! Forget it, I won't tell you, I'll go back first. ”
Song Zilan stomped away angrily, Zichu looked at her back, and said secretly in his heart: Zhu Xiaoyan, I want you to taste what it is like to be betrayed by your own daughter. Also, Mrs. Song, you'd better not let me find out that you have murdered your daughter-in-law. Otherwise, even if you are old, I will not let you live out your old age in peace.
Because of the plaque given by Queen Nalan herself, Zichu advanced his previous plan. In the past few days since she returned to Song Mansion, she went out early and returned late every day, busy watching the layout and decoration of the leisure hall, as well as the development and production of the series of products she developed. It also proves the old saying, that money can make ghosts grind.
With the strong financial support of Helian Mansion, coupled with the efforts of the shrewd and capable shopkeeper personally selected by Helian Haoran and a group of people under him, it took only a month before and after, and Zichu originally planned to take three months to complete the prototype of the Immortal Garden, and it began to take shape.
Zichu was busy training the waiters for hospitality, and Helian Haoran recruited a group of young and beautiful girls for her, all of whom were in their teens. They were allowed to pay a high salary, and according to Zichu's requirements, they invited a special etiquette mother to teach them how to treat guests.
And Zichu also knows how to strike while the iron is hot, after she left the palace, she ordered someone to release the news, and the matter of Queen Nalan giving her plaque was widely publicized in the streets and alleys, and how her rejuvenating cream was blown is amazing, which can not only make people beautiful and permanent, but also reduce swelling and stasis, and even after being stung by a wasp, it can be used to reduce swelling and remove marks. When the people heard that even Queen Nalan praised her skin cream, they didn't dare to question it, and just waited for this exclusive product to open and ran over to have a look.
But Zichu was not in a hurry to open her leisure and beauty salon, and when she received a secret letter from Helian Haoran, saying that many noblewomen and celebrities in the capital began to turn around and ask the people of Helian Mansion how to buy this rejuvenating cream, she just smiled indifferently and replied to Helian Haoran's people: "You go back and tell the master, just say that this is a women's business, and you can't rush it." In the early stage, the bigger the project, the better. It's best to do something so that everyone in the capital and even the surrounding areas knows about it. Then, on the day of opening, let's write about the ingenuity. In this way, the reputation of this exclusive product can really be established. As long as the reputation goes out, plus the quality of the product is passed, there is this gold lacquer signboard of the queen. When the time comes, he will just sit and wait for the cashier. ”
Helian Haoran heard the reply from his subordinates, but he also felt novel. After thinking about it, I have to admit that what my niece said is still very reasonable. Then he shook his head and said, "This girl, I don't know where so many ghost ideas came from." But you do as she tells you, don't be afraid to spend money, in short, what I want is for all the people below to carry out Miss Cousin's words to the letter. You should keep this in mind. ”
"Yes, sir."
In this way, it was only three or five days after Zichu returned to the Song Mansion, and the brand of this exclusive product was hyped up in the capital. Even in the inner courtyard of the Song Mansion, many people have heard that the eldest lady is going to open a rouge workshop, and it is the kind that is huge. Even the queen mother gave words to praise, which can be said to be in the limelight for a while.
In Fengyi Palace, after Queen Nalan arranged everything thoroughly, the disease gradually improved. She arranged for someone to send Jun Yuchen out of the palace, and let him openly return to the capital from outside the city. Then, he sent the emperor, who had gradually recovered, back to the Zichen Palace, and replaced the fake emperor.
All this, Queen Nalan did seamlessly. But she knew that if Zichu hadn't deceived the prince Jun Yusulfone in the first place, then even if her plan was perfect, it would be very difficult to achieve it.
When the crown prince Jun Yuxuan heard the news that Jun Yuchen had returned to the palace, it was too late. He gritted his teeth with hatred, and while reprimanding his subordinates for not doing things well, he began to secretly wonder, what means did Queen Nalan use to make Jun Yuchen return to the palace unknowingly?
It is said that there are a few happy and a few sad, when the prince Jun Yusulfone is upset about this matter, in the Zizhu Courtyard, the Queen Mother is happy like a child.
When she heard that her grandson could finally come back to meet her in public, and that her son had miraculously recovered, her resentment towards Queen Nalan seemed to have been eliminated.
At the very least, she could be sure that the emperor's illness had nothing to do with Empress Nalan. As for whether it has anything to do with the prince, then she will also investigate secretly.
Jun Yuchen, under the arrangement of his mother, walked around the scene. When he finally recovered his identity, when he returned to Zichen Palace, the first person he saw was the prince Jun Yuxuan who he was very reluctant to see.
"Brother Nine Emperor is back, but I haven't seen you for a long time. You see that you have been favored in front of your father and queen mother, and when you heard the news of your return, your father's illness was cured. It seems that anyone in this palace can leave you, but you can't leave your Nine Emperor Brothers! ”
Jun Yuchen already knew about the prince sending someone to intercept him at this time, although he was not injured, but the cronies and guards around him were killed and injured because of this. At this time, he also knew how Zichu felt at that time. Although he grew up, he knew that he was born in the royal family, and the relationship between brothers and sisters was not warmer than ordinary people. But this bloody fight is the first time to face it.
Although the person in front of him was his half-brother, Jun Yuqiu's behavior also destroyed the remaining family affection in his heart, so he said with a sneer: "Brother Prince's words are serious, the prince is now in charge of the country on behalf of his father, and he is responsible for all the affairs of the family and the country." The younger brother returned to the palace just to fulfill his filial piety in front of his father and queen mother, if you say who is the most important in this palace, it is naturally the prince and brother. ”
"Hehe, Brother Nine Emperor is polite. By the way, the Nine Emperor Brothers entered Beijing all the way, and the road was still peaceful? ”
Jun Yuchen saw that he actually took the initiative to ask about it, so he naturally didn't give a good face, so he said coldly: "Thanks to the blessing of the prince's brother, although the courtier's brother was unfortunately assassinated by someone, fortunately, the minister's brother had already taken precautions. But even so, there were still several cronies and guards around the younger brother who were killed and wounded. Here, the younger brother wants to implore the prince's brother to investigate the matter thoroughly and give the younger brother justice. ”
"There is such a thing? Nine Emperor Brothers, don't worry, your brother will definitely uphold justice for you. ”
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and then Jun Yuchen said goodbye to the prince, and then went to the Zichen Palace to meet the fake emperor lying in the gauze tent.
The crown prince Jun Yucheng was naturally in a very bad mood because Jun Yuchen returned to the palace smoothly. When he was thinking about how to deal with Queen Nalan and Jun Yuchen, he received a secret letter sent by the crown princess Zhang, so he said angrily: "Good Shangguan Yuanji!" This prince said, yesterday he pretended to come over to show loyalty to this prince, but when he turned around, he wanted to marry his daughter to Jun Yuchen, this abacus is really exquisite! Is this a look at Prince Ben, who doesn't dare to touch you? ”
The staff members around the prince said: "Your Highness, the crown princess said that she has her own opinions on this matter, do you think you will hand over this matter to the mother, so that you can free up your energy and go all out to deal with the queen and the king?" ”
The crown prince Jun Yuyu pondered for a while, and felt that what the staff said made some sense, so he nodded and said: "Okay, you reply to the crown princess, and say that the prince has full authority to deal with this matter, but if she can't handle it well, the prince wants her to look good." ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, you don't know your mother's ability, when did you miss it?"
Seeing that the people around him admired the Zhang family very much, and for some reason, some impatience suddenly appeared in his heart. But now is the time to employ people, and there is already an agreement between him and the Zhang family, so he can only reluctantly press on, turn his head and say: "Let's go, let's go see my father." ”
After Song Zilan met Zichu, she thought about it alone for a long time, and finally sorted out her thoughts and took the maid to Chunhua Courtyard.
In Chunhua Courtyard, Zhu Xiaoyan has been looking much better recently because Song Shi'an often comes to eat. When she saw her daughter coming, she smiled and said, "My son, it's just right to come, my mother asked people to make chestnut cakes, you can taste it, does it taste good?" ”
