Chapter 101: A Glimmer of Life (2)
Since the prince got married, he has to take Chu Jingwen to the emperor and the queen mother every day to say goodbye, and he has done enough work in the morning and dusk. The prince who used to be a hanger is now so respectful, which naturally makes the elders feel satisfied.
After Meng Xilan left the palace, the Queen Mother was always worried, depressed, and sick, not very refreshing.
When Zhou Youping saw the stitches, he instructed Chu Jingwen to go to Cining Palace often, accompany the Queen Mother, and please her. He stretched out his hand and put his hand on Chu Jingwen's shoulder, and said in a slow tone: "If Concubine Ai has the favor of the Queen Mother, her position in the palace will only be more stable in the future." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Jingwen shook his shoulders and shook off Zhou Youping's hand, looked at him coldly, and looked extremely disgusted: "Don't touch me." ”
Zhou Youping was slightly stunned, and said with a smile without impatience: "Aifei, are you still angry with me?" It was indeed me who was abrupt that day, but you and I are now a veritable husband and wife, and in the future, we will naturally work together with one heart and one mind. I am the crown prince, you are the crown princess, and once he inherits the throne, you will be the queen of the world. ”
Recalling the events of that day, Chu Jingwen felt a wave of nausea in her heart, if she followed her wishes, she hated to kill Zhou Youping, a shameless man, with a thousand knives and Ling Chi...... But she couldn't!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need to pretend to say these good things to me, I am not a three-year-old child, I can tell what is good and what is bad. Now, you and I do have the name of husband and wife, and I accompany His Highness to the palaces every day to ask for peace, in order to do my duty. However, since His Highness and I are only acting on orders, then from now on, we only need to act in front of others, and it is better to have nothing to do with each other in private. ”
Her cold remarks made Zhou Youping hit a nail, and immediately sank his face: "I don't know what to do!" You think I can't do anything about you, do you? ”
Seeing him approaching him, Chu Jingwen unhurriedly plucked a hairpin from his head, the tip of the thin hairpin was facing his neck, and said coldly: "Does Your Highness want to be a shameless person again?" Zhou Youping, if you dare to touch me again, I will kill myself on the spot, and after death, I will turn into a ghost and wrap around your body, and then take a good look, how do you explain to the emperor and the queen mother? ”
She is not afraid of death, the days in this palace are comparable to a cage, and she was tortured and ravaged by Zhou Youping, and one more day of life is one more day of torment. If he dared to be presumptuous, she would never let him succeed.
Zhou Youping didn't expect her to be forced to die, his face was blue for a while, his fists were clenched, and after a while, he slowly let go, and said with a smile instead of anger: "Okay, I won't move you." There is never a shortage of women in the palace, you are just an ornament stuffed to me by the Queen Mother, do you really think I like you? Joke! You wait, after I ascend the throne, I will personally send you a cold palace, and let you die of old age in this palace silently! With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Chu Jingwen's hand holding the hairpin trembled slightly, and the palace maids around her knelt on the ground with a brush, begging: "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang thinks twice." You are a thousand pounds of body, even if you are not happy in your heart, you can't be a cheap body! ”
Chu Jingwen slowly put down her hand, and the palace maid was quick-eyed, and hurriedly took down the hairpin, and persuaded with a puzzled face: "Niangniang, why is this difficult?" His Royal Highness treats Niangniang well, and Niangniang's future can be hopeful. You are fooling around like this, and His Highness really snubbed you, what should you do? ”
I've been in the palace for so long, and I've never seen such a self-suicidal master!
Chu Jingwen listened and listened, and suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter was low.
She entered the palace to comply with the emperor's order, not for the favor of some Laoshizi, and she didn't need his favor to live.
Even if she Chu Jingwen is dead, she doesn't want to live by relying on people's breath!
Zhou Youping, who was not happy, bumped into Zhou Shili as soon as he left the palace gate.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are ......"
Zhou Shili saw that his face was not good, so he knew where he was unhappy again, so he bowed.
"Uncle Cousin came just in time, accompany me to the hunting grounds!" He was holding back the anger in his belly, so he naturally had to find a place to vent.
Zhou Shili shook his head when he heard this, and said in a sarcastic tone: "At this time, His Royal Highness still has such leisure and leisure, which is really admirable. ”
Zhou Youping raised his eyebrows: "What?" Uncle Cousin also wants to find me today, isn't it happy? ”
"It's not that I deliberately want to find His Royal Highness's displeasure, but the fourth prince ......" Zhou Shili deliberately wanted to speak and stopped, looked around, and signaled that this was not the place to speak.
Zhou Youping was stunned when he heard this, and then took Zhou Shili into the study to discuss the matter.
A moment later, an angry shout came from the study: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! God, are you playing with him, or is this playing with me! ”
Zhou Shili sat on the chair without moving, still holding a tea bowl in his hand, and said slowly: "The news outside the palace is undoubtedly reliable. It is estimated that after tomorrow morning, the emperor and the ladies of the palace will know about it...... I have to say that the lives of the four princes are really big! ”
Zhou Youping was furious, and swept all the things on the table to the ground, and the eunuchs outside heard the movement and didn't dare to go in, but just knelt outside, waiting for dispatch at any time.
"Why? What is there about him Zhou Youlin who is worthy of God's protection! ”
Seeing that he was making more and more noise, Zhou Shili finally frowned impatiently, took a sip of tea and said, "Your Highness, it's useless to be impatient. As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. The four princes escaped this catastrophe, and now they have the position of the prince in hand, once they return safely, they will definitely gain power in the court, the scenery is infinite, and the status will rise together! ”
"No way!" Zhou Youping slapped the table top with a bang, and he couldn't wait to lift the table in front of him. "Uncle Cousin, you must give me a way!"
Zhou Shili's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he disappeared in an instant: "Your Highness, are you a strong man?" Even God is willing to take away the person, how can I make him disappear......"
Zhou Youping saw that he deliberately sold Guanzi, and said in an anxious tone: "Uncle Cousin, you have to help me, you have many connections outside the palace, you must have a way." Now, the fourth child has not returned to Beijing, he lives in a suburban camp, which is no more heavily guarded than the palace, as long as you are willing to send someone over, you will definitely be able to take the life of the fourth child. ”
Seeing that he said so lightly, Zhou Shili put down the tea bowl, got up and said unhappily: "Your Highness, what you said is not right. My eyeliner outside the palace is all for the purpose of finding out the news. I can't do this kind of thing, and I won't do it! ”
Zhou Youping's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly walked in front of him, his tone dissatisfied: "Uncle Cousin, what are these words?" Won't you help me? There is only one step left, I am only one step away, without the fourth child standing in the way, my father's mind will not change. ”
Zhou Shili looked directly at Zhou Youping's eyes, his eyes trembled and restless, and he had no confidence at all.
The emperor has nine sons, even if there is no Zhou Youlin, there are others to choose from, and when the seventh prince grows up, it will be the same threat to the crown prince.
Zhou Shili stared at the prince's eyes, weighing his weight in his heart, and felt that he had no reason to give advice to him. He, after all, is difficult to become a climate! Now God doesn't even want to help him!
Zhou Youping saw that his gaze flickered and changed, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Uncle Cousin, as long as you help me for this last time, I will definitely be able to ascend to the throne!" ”
Zhou Shili deliberately bowed his head and was silent, giving him the feeling that he was hesitating.
"Uncle Cousin, I can't use the people in the palace, I can't use my people. So, be sure to find someone outside the palace! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Shili felt that Zhou Youping was not stupid yet, "People outside the palace? His Highness is referring to ......"
"Those gangs on the rivers and lakes, as long as someone is willing to pay, they will definitely do it!"
Zhou Youping is not completely ignorant of things outside the palace, but he doesn't often walk outside the palace, and he is not as well-connected as Zhou Shili.
"Uncle Cousin, you have the most connections, as long as you are willing to arrange for me, this matter will definitely be successful."
If it was just a match, Zhou Shili was naturally willing to help. "For the sake of His Highness, I have to do my best!"
He wants to mess up the situation, and the more chaotic the scene, the more opportunities he has to take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Zhou Youping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, turned to face the palace wall outside the window, and said lightly: "All this is right in front of me, I can't lose!" ”
His gaze drifted farther and farther away, but he didn't know that Zhou Shili behind him was staring at his back and smiled coldly, with a gloomy smile, like a jackal peeping at its prey, forbearant and ruthless.
……
Three days later, Zhou Youlin's pale face finally regained its ruddy color, and there was no fever anymore.
After Meng Xizhao asked Jiao Changqing's opinion, he decided that it was time to place Zhou Youlin elsewhere.
The palace got the news early in the morning, so everything had to be done according to my sister's plan, so it was the safest.
Meng Xizhao went to Zhou Youlin's tent alone to discuss the matter with him.
Zhou Youlin's face sank when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a while.
Meng Xizhao waited for a moment, and then couldn't help but say again: "Lord Wang, the stakes are very high, and I hope you can make a careful decision." It is not easy to escape death this time, and if there are waves again, won't all the previous efforts be wasted...... Moreover, the princess is also very worried about the safety of the prince. ”
Speaking of Meng Xilan, Zhou Youlin's expression changed slightly, and he only said: "If the prince really wants to put me to death, then she can't stay!" ”
Meng Xizhao saw that his attitude was somewhat relaxed: "The princess has the princess's plans, Weichen doesn't want to persuade her, and I hope that the prince can respect her decision." Weichen said boldly, the princess can have today's peace, and the princess has contributed a lot, so please listen to her again, leave the camp early, recuperate with peace of mind, and only wait until the emperor decrees before returning to the palace. Lord, if something happens to you, the princess's situation will also become very difficult, so please think twice. ”
Zhou Youlin frowned, and said after a long time: "Okay, this king will leave tonight." But before leaving, the king wants to see the princess. ”
There were some things he couldn't help but say......
