[Chapter 33: Abandoning Love and Becoming a Monarch] (1)
Lu Yunniang almost failed to stabilize the basin.
As soon as she wanted to go in and catch Jingzhong, she heard a loud voice from the door of the house:
"Saint to!"
She hurriedly suppressed the anger in her heart, went straight to the house, put down the basin of water, took Jingzhong's arm, and led him out of the house.
"Where are you taking me?" Jing Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then took a few steps before reacting, "You...... Did you hear it all? ”
Lu Yunniang turned her head and glanced at Jing Zhong: "I heard it, what's the matter?" Ah Yuan is your master, how could you do such a thing? But now is not the time to worry about that. Don't you hear, the saint has arrived, and if he finds out that it's you, you'll have to die! ”
Jing Zhong never expected that Lu Yunniang would react like this after knowing what she had done. His heart, which had been cold and calm for many years, suddenly trembled, and his expression loosened a little: "Master, ......"
"Do you still know that I am your wife, how many times have you called me over the years? At this time, I remembered......" Lu Yunniang said angrily, "Where is it better to hide?" By the way, the bathroom, he came to visit Ah Yuan, so he won't be in the mood to take a bath...... You come with me! ”
The bathroom was not far from the bedroom and soon they arrived. Lu Yunniang dragged Jing Zhong into the house: "You must remember, if I didn't come to you, never go out." There must be a result in this matter, and the saint came here today, in addition to visiting Ah Yuan, it is likely that he is asking about this. Seeing that Dr. Han and I have not been able to find out for a long time, his temper may have to be checked in person, and you will not be able to run away at that time. Instead of waiting for him to send someone to arrest you, you should hide here first. ”
Jingzhong was very silent along the way, listening to Lu Yunniang talking to him like this, seeing that although she was also angry, the worried and concerned look between her eyebrows and eyes was true, he was very puzzled. Seeing that Lu Yunniang was about to leave after speaking, he hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
Lu Yunniang's footsteps stopped, and she seemed to think for a while: "Yes, why?" I should have just handed you over. You have done such a big wrong thing, I don't want to let you go at all, but...... Who made you Ah Yuan's apprentice? I'll do everything in my power to protect you until she wakes up. ”
Jing Zhong immediately knelt down, walked to Lu Yunniang's side, bowed his head and hugged her feet: "Master, it's the apprentice who was confused for a while and did something wrong, and the apprentice also wants to help the master, once the master really gives birth to a son and enters the sage's harem, won't all these years of planning be in vain?" My wife may not know how difficult it is for Master to get to where he is today, but the apprentice sees every bit of it, and the apprentice really doesn't want to see the Master give up all his efforts like this! ”
Lu Yunniang raised her feet to dodge and looked at Jing Zhong with low eyes: "You say this, do you want me to help you intercede in front of your master?" ”
"The apprentice begs the master not to tell the master all this."
"Didn't you tell her personally?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the master was still asleep and couldn't hear anything, how could the apprentice dare to say what was in his heart......" Jingzhong kowtowed to Lu Yunniang three times, "Master's mother...... I beg you. ”
"I can't promise you." Lu Yunniang said bluntly, "It's one thing for your master to have an abortion himself, but it's another thing for you to harm her." If she hadn't meant it, I wouldn't have protected you this time. Just seeing that she almost died, I even tore your heart. Not to mention...... Are you really doing it for her? ”
Jing Zhong's body stiffened.
"I know what kind of thoughts you have for Ah Yuan, and Ah Yuan knows it, but she loves you, so she hasn't exposed you for a long time, otherwise you master and apprentice would have been unable to do it a long time ago. Your love never dares to be placed in the sun, but you have to be jealous of others above board, where are you for her? Clearly just for yourself! ”
At the same time, there was a small commotion at the entrance of the mansion.
"What's going on?" Looking at the inner flying dragon soldiers guarding around the house, Princess Yuzhen was surprised and dissatisfied, "General Xiao is not the kind of person who uses the public for personal gain, how could he let you be here?" I just came back from a trip out of town, and I heard that General Xiao was sick and came to visit, and you even want to stop me? ”
Seeing that the inner flying dragon soldier at the door didn't pay attention to himself at all, and refused to give way, Princess Yuzhen sensed that something was wrong, and even let her people entangle the guards at the door, she raised her legs and rushed to the house: "I see which of you dares to touch me!" ”
As soon as her princess's temper came up, even a few of her own brothers couldn't help it, not to mention these guards who didn't dare to really act as princesses. She stepped through the second door with great ease, and saw two familiar figures in front of her, who seemed to hear a noise coming from her side, and were standing still looking back.
"Third brother, eldest brother." Princess Yuzhen hurriedly walked a few steps and saluted the two brothers obediently.
Seeing that the fight was still going on at the door, Li Longji had a calm face and didn't pay attention to it at all, King Ning sighed secretly and asked them all to stop, and then smiled gently at his sister: "Zhiying is back." ”
"What's going on here? How did General Xiao get sick? Why are they here? Why can you go in, but I can't? ”
"I just came back, and there are so many questions, which one do you want to answer first?" King Ning said helplessly.
Only then did Princess Yuzhen notice Li Longji's expression: "Third brother, what's the matter...... Could it be that General Xiao is suffering from an incurable disease? ”
With a slight frown, Li Longji turned around and left.
King Ning glanced at Princess Yuzhen meaningfully, sighed, and followed Li Longji and continued to walk towards the mansion.
Princess Yuzhen had to chase after her, but saw that only Han Si knelt in front of Xiao Jiangyuan's bedroom to greet her: "Where is Yun Niang?" ”
Han Si said: "The grass people don't know where Yun Niang went. ”
"Yun Niang has always been polite, and when she knew that the third brother was coming, she must come out first to greet her...... Isn't she in the house? ”
Han Si shook his head: "Yun Niang wants to take care of General Xiao personally, and she will definitely not leave the house, Xu is ......"
"Then she must have stumped over something, and the third brother should not be surprised." Princess Yuzhen was planning, and when she finished visiting General Xiao, she went to Yun Niang to greet her, and then she heard King Ning ask:
"Is General Xiao awake?"
Han Si said: "Back to the king, not yet." But fortunately, General Xiao's health has been improving. ”
King Ning nodded and looked at Li Longji, who had always been silent: "Very good." Maybe it won't be long before she wakes up. ”
At this point, Han Si, who was a doctor, couldn't guarantee it, so he had to get up first and invite Li Longji and the others to enter.
As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, Princess Yuzhen was stunned - what did she see? Xiao Jiangyuan is distinct...... It's just a woman!
Now, everything she couldn't figure out over the years has been answered.
Seeing that King Ning was not surprised, she tugged at his sleeve and said in a very soft voice: "You have been hiding from me for so long......"
Before King Ning could say anything, he saw Han Si suddenly rush to the couch:
"General Xiao, are you awake?"
Li Longji instantly raised his eyes and looked straight at the couch.
Princess Yuzhen also hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Jiangyuan frowning, and then slowly opened her eyes. Turning around and seeing Li Longji standing still, Princess Yuzhen said strangely: "Third brother, Ah Yuan has woken up, why don't you come to see her?" ”
Li Longji's gaze only met Xiao Jiangyuan's for a moment, and he walked out of the bedroom.
Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes rippled slightly, and he struggled to get up, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "What about Yun Niang......
Princess Yuzhen hurriedly stretched out her hand to help: "I didn't see anyone." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Han Si: "What about Jing Zhong?" ”
Han Si was stunned for a moment, and immediately suddenly realized something: "He came to see you, he should be in this room......"
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan's face was not good, King Ning turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and ordered: "Search the house." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan's house has only one main entrance for entry and exit. When they entered the mansion just now, they didn't see anyone going out, and there were inner dragon soldiers outside the house, if someone climbed over the wall, there would definitely be a sound, but so far there was no, which shows that both Lu Yunniang and Jingzhong are still in this mansion.
In just a moment, Lu Yunniang and Jingzhong were found.
They were found in the bathroom. At that time, Lu Yunniang was lying in the bath that had not yet been filled with water, with a belt tightly wrapped around her neck, which belonged to Jingzhong. Jing Zhong was slumped on the edge of the pool, with a wound on his head and blood flowing down his forehead.
At this time, the Inner Flying Dragon Soldier had already carried Lu Yunniang to the courtyard in front of the bedroom, and then retreated outside the house, while Jingzhong knelt beside Lu Yunniang.
Han Sizai carefully checked Lu Yunniang's pulse, and finally shook his head.
Princess Yuzhen looked at Lu Yunniang's face was blue and there were strangulation marks on her neck, and she couldn't help but choke: "You killed Yun Niang?" ”
Jing Zhong's face was pale, his eyes were red, and his lips were still a little trembling: "Slave maid...... The slave didn't want to kill the ...... of the master's wife."
King Ning glanced at Li Longji, who was expressionless and silent, and said, "But she is still dead, why?" ”
Jing Zhong bit his lip: "Fang Cai's slave maid came to visit the master, and overheard the master's mother talking in front of the master's couch outside the door, saying that she had already persuaded the master to take out the fetus in the womb, and seeing that the master had no reaction, she thought that the master was unwilling, so she moved the mind of taking the medicine, but she didn't want the medicine that night to be an abortion......
"My wife didn't want to harm Master's life, so she repented, hoping that Master would forgive her for the sake of her sincere love for Master, who told Master that Master was a woman, but still married her? She didn't dislike that her master was a eunuch, but she didn't expect that her master would be a woman, and she was a couple with the Son of Heaven, so she could no longer fight, and could only watch her 'husband' be happy with other men, and even have a ...... of blood and bones."
"Yun Niang is not this kind of person!" Jing Zhong's words were too informative for Princess Yuzhen, and although she couldn't figure it out for a while, she still reacted immediately.
King Ning soothed Princess Yuzhen's shoulders soothingly: "Let him finish." ”
Jingzhong continued: "The master is jealous, but she has never shown it on weekdays, and if she doesn't happen to hear it today, the slave and maid don't believe it. The slave maid wanted to hand over the master to the saint for disposal, but she didn't want to show her whereabouts, when she heard that the saint had arrived at the door, the master and the maid forced the slave and the maid to take her to the bathroom and begged the slave and the maid to let her go.
"My wife treats the slave and maid quite well on weekdays, so the slave and maid are moved by compassion, but I don't think this is just my wife's delaying tactic. As soon as the slave and maid relaxed their vigilance, the master and the maid picked up a vase in the house and smashed the slave and maid's head, and the slave and the maid realized how crazy the master and maid were. In order to survive, the slave maid killed his wife by mistake, and hoped that the saint would condemn him. ”
