The Coming of the Old Man (III) (Part I)

Concubine Liu said very gently: "Lady Zhou is an elegant person, unlike us laymen, tea and snacks can't taste when they are light. People say that the real products are found in the light taste. ”

Zhou Wanning smiled slightly, without saying much. I don't know what this Concubine Liu is doing today? I've always seen her extremely arrogant and unreasonable. There must be a demon when something goes wrong, but Wanning didn't say anything else, The refreshments that were sent should be eaten and drunk. It's just that there is a faint pine smell in this tea, if you don't pay attention, I thought it was a spice specially used to adjust the taste of dim sum, but... Wan Ning glanced at Concubine Liu, who was still helping Bu Cai diligently next to her, doing her hands and feet in the diet, still in front of the prince, Is this a little too hard backstage?

After the refreshments, everyone naturally wants to go out for a walk, Xinjie and the prince made an appointment to shoot a few swords to loosen their muscles and bones, and the woman wanted to go out to change her clothes and make up. Guest rooms have been prepared in the prince's mansion, and there are people waiting for them. Evening condensation in the guest room, picked up a piece of incense in the incense burner, she gently covered the lid of the incense burner, the thin white fingertips on the smooth edge of the incense burner lid gently crossed, a faint white smoke floated out, and soon dissipated in the air, a faint smell of sandalwood and lily mixed throughout the room.

She took a book out of her baggage and sat there quietly watching. Recently, I have been too busy, and it is rare to have the opportunity to read books quietly, and some medical books are some rare collections brought to her by Xinjie from Jiangnan from overseas, and some of them are very novel medical and pharmacological explanations. She took the book with her, and turned the pages when she had time. The people of the prince's mansion are on duty at the door, and the female dependents of the Tang family do not travel like ordinary wealthy families, there are a lot of maids and wives, and the female dependents are required to be diligent and thrifty, and they can do everything by themselves. And when you come to the Prince's Mansion, not just casual people outside can enter, so there are no people from Aoki Garden to wait. Outside the door stood only a maid and a eunuch from the prince's mansion. Except for the sound of her flipping a book and the occasional chirping of insects outside the house, everything in the room was quiet.

There was only a slight rustling of clothes in the silence. The people in the house didn't seem to notice, but the people of the Prince's Mansion on duty at the door were walking around. However, after a while, the door curtain was high, and a dark gray figure in a strong suit came in, walked in front of Wan Ning, stepped out, and saluted deeply: "Subordinates see Female Officer Zhou!" After so many years, you have really been wronged! ”

Wan Ning frowned, slowly put away the book and looked at the visitor, sitting there without panicking or moving: "May I ask who your Excellency is?" It's not appropriate to give such a big gift, right?! ”

"Lady Zhou, don't worry, the people in the Prince's Mansion outside here have been cleared by us, we are safe to speak, don't be afraid of someone hearing you."

"I don't know what you mean."

The person who came raised his head and looked at Zhou Wanning, and clasped his fists: "Female official Zhou has been away from Beijing for a few years, have you forgotten that her subordinate Huang Chengbiao is the prince's guard, but his subordinates are entrusted by the third prince like you." ”

"Lord Huang, I remember that there was a chief guard by the prince's side, Lord Huang, but I didn't understand what you said later."

"Female Officer Zhou doesn't have to be so guarded. Although you and I were both entrusted by the Third Prince to work beside the crown prince back then, we have never been discovered. Xiaguan offended Concubine Yan because of an accident and was punished to go to the Chenghuang Army outside, but the third prince had already entrusted people, and he had already arranged his subordinates to return to the prince's mansion in the past few days. The prince didn't know that you were the third prince's person, and he wouldn't know that back then, you were by the prince's side, looking like it was to protect the prince, but in fact, it was to make the prince a shield, making it easier for our master to act in secret. Now that you are back, the master hopes that Lady Zhou can further complete the plan set by the master. Although some people and things have changed after many years, the master's plan has not changed. What's more, you are now holding the Tang family three young people steadily, which is cheaper for us to do things. It is a matter of time before the emperor runs out of oil and the lamp dies, what the master means is that as long as you can hold Tang Sanshao and stabilize the position of the prince before this, when the time comes, the prince will definitely entrust Tang Sanshao with important responsibilities, and will dispatch you to assist by your side, you only need to cooperate with our master and let Tang Sanshao turn against our master, and the big thing will be done. The master told you not to make any moves recently, just wait for the right time. ”

"Who is your master?" Zhou Wanning stared at him coldly and asked.

Huang Chengbiao laughed: "What the master said is right, Female Officer Zhou is a very cautious person. Just because your subordinates bring you a letter, you will be suspicious. If he goes to you, or sends a letter to you, I am afraid that the prince will be suspicious. You're always under the watchful eye of the Prince. Although the crown prince values Tang Sanshao and looks at you as a good friend, His Royal Highness the prince is still not at ease, and has been sending people to monitor you. That's why the master asked his subordinates to contact you while you were in the Prince's Mansion. In this way, the prince will not be suspicious. The master said, you are a smart person, you must be able to understand his hard work, and you are a person who is affectionate, and will not forget the affection between you and him. What he promised you back then remains unchanged today. The master asked his subordinates to bring you a message, you will always be the holy white lotus in his heart, no matter what you have experienced, your affection with him is irreplaceable by others, and his promise has always been valid. The master believes that neither Tang Sanshao nor the crown prince is as good as his position in your mind, and the future he promised you and the Zhou family will not change. The master also said that the dream has been around for many years, and it will soon come true, and I hope you will wait for him to clear the obstacles, and he will be with you for a lifetime. At that time, you can not only dominate the harem, but also share the world with you, restore the glory of the Zhou family's past, and extend with your heirs..."Speaking of this, Huang Chengbiao stood up, looked at her ruddy cheeks, flowing with a tempting fragrance, knowing that the previous medicine had begun to work, he smiled and walked towards Wanning: "Actually, Wanning, Master's words are just to appease you." Let's do things for him, more importantly, you have to think about the future of the two of us, the master thinks that he is your first man, he has him in his heart, and he will do things for him, but he doesn't know that I was the man who can make you want to die. I haven't touched you in so long, miss me? ”

Just as he was talking about this, there was a sound of trays breaking outside, and then I heard the voices of Concubine Liu and the other concubine of the crown prince, Tong Meiren. I only heard Concubine Liu say: "Tong Meiren, you hurry up and run to find His Royal Highness the Prince, we have been discovered, Huang Guard's martial arts are strong, we can't survive if we stay here..."

Wan Ning looked at Huang Chengbiao meaningfully, but did not move. Huang Chengbiao didn't panic, and walked closer: "Female official Zhou is really a beauty, I really regret that you are so delicate, you seem to have done things, but you haven't really moved." But don't worry, even if the prince recruits the experienced grandmother to check for a while, and the imperial doctor comes to diagnose the pulse, you and I have had it. After that, he stretched out his hand to touch the pink face: "Tsk, when the prince disposes of you, this face will be a pity." ”

It's just an instant, but his hand was wiped out by a sharp blade, and he was kicked in the sensitive part, and he sat out, Huang Chengbiao screamed, and only reacted after a while, his internal strength is not low, and his martial arts are not bad, how can ordinary people attack him, not to mention that the medicine will make her look like she has been squeezed dry, and her limbs are weak: "Aren't you drugged?" Why are there still internal forces? ”

Wan Ning snorted and didn't speak, but it was Tianying, the maid of the Prince's Mansion who was on duty at the door before, and the eunuch Li Niu'er walked in, Li Niu'er said in a sharp voice: "That's because Lady Zhou doesn't have your way." After she found out that there was a problem with today's dim sum, she hinted to the third son, and she solved the medicine by herself. The master was not worried about the safety of Lady Zhou, so he sent me to replace Hu San'er's clumsy man. ”

"Grandpa Li?!" Huang Chengbiao was surprised that Li Niuer was a close confidant of the prince. He obviously ordered the sleeping hole of the eunuch and the maid on duty at the door just now, isn't that Hu San'er.

Li Niu'er glanced at him with contempt: "You ordered Hu San'er's sleeping hole at that time, and he was still lying clumsily on the ground outside." With a pig brain like you, you still want to frame Female Officer Zhou?! ”

"Hah!" Huang Chengbiao smiled evilly: "Where did I frame her, I had slept with her a few years ago, and she also pretended to be Bing Qingyujie to seduce the princes everywhere." ”

"You slander people when you die?" Li Niu'er looked at him in disgust.

"I'm not slandering?! Tong Meiren ran out, and when she shouted, the prince's mansion would believe it. Even if your father-in-law Li is a close confidant of the crown prince, he was also bribed by the female official Zhou and the third prince, and he must cover it up for her. ”

"What?!" I only heard an exclamation, it was Concubine Liu who came in: "You said that Gonggong Li is also the third prince?!" ”

Huang Chengbiao smiled: "That's, Concubine Liu, why don't you hurry up?!" Go and tell the prince that Gonggong Li has also betrayed him, and if he doesn't run, he will die. ”

Concubine Liu immediately turned around and ran out.

"Lord Huang is really kind to him!" Zhou Wanning slowly stood up.

"The scheming of the lower official must be inferior to that of the female official Zhou, otherwise where will the third prince miss you? And you, a woman who loves vanity, I am your first man, but you must want to be the woman of the third prince, you are really lowly. He struggled to his feet and shouted, "Although I can't let you restore the Zhou family, but you forgot the moment when you were happy under me?" Have you forgotten the moment when you vowed to be a husband and wife for the rest of your life? ”

"Are you trying to shout slanderous words so that the entire Prince's Mansion hears them?" Zhou Wanning said coldly.

"Where am I slandering you?! You're a mean woman! You think that the prince is weak and can't satisfy you, so you follow the third prince, and often look for guards like us, you are a blood-sucking goblin. ”
