Chapter 46: Persecution
The old lady had already packed up her things and was ready to leave, and when she heard that the people from the Nine Emperor Princes and the Empress were coming, her face changed several times.
"Old lady, don't you go out to see you?" Yahuan on the side saw her sitting on the bed with a slightly gloomy face, and asked hurriedly.
The old lady glanced at her lightly: "It seems that I can't go down the mountain today, you go to see Mama Yan, don't let her make something to embarrass me." ”
Yahuan responded, and the old lady frowned and walked out.
Ji Rui was already sitting in the first seat, and when he saw the old lady coming, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't say some polite words when he saw that she was an old solemn duchess. The solemn mansion will treat him as a normal person, and everyone else will avoid him like a snake and scorpion, just look at the old lady's eyes when she looks at herself.
The old lady saw that Ji Rui was sitting steadily, and she didn't mean to get up for half a minute, so she sneered coldly in her heart and stepped forward to salute.
"Get up." Ji Rui finished speaking lightly, and glanced at Shen Qing who was standing on the side, his eyebrows raised slightly.
The old lady also saw Shen Qing, and Shen Qing said, "Daughter-in-law granddaughter originally came to tell grandmother about last night......
"I'll talk about that later." The old lady hurriedly interrupted her, how could such an ugly thing be publicized in front of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Empress. She turned her head to look at Ji Rui again and said, "I wonder why the Nine Emperors suddenly came over?" ”
"It's the queen who came to the mountain." Ji Rui always refused to call the 'queen mother', and said: "Niangniang is talking to Mrs. Shi in the nunnery at this time, so I asked me to come over and ask, at the beginning of the year, how did the old lady think about the family affairs mentioned to the old lady?" ”
"This ......" The old lady was a little embarrassed on her face, the queen wanted to ask Yuanshuang to be the princess of her son, but if the eldest prince was a normal person, it would be fine, but he was sick all year round, he couldn't enter the Tao without saying anything, and he couldn't see the sun, so he lived like a livestock in a dark corner, and he died that day. As soon as the eldest prince died, the queen was left with nothing.
The father-in-law beside Ji Rui took a step forward, and said coldly with a sharp voice: "Old lady, you don't want to?" Now Miss Yuan is not young, there are a lot of rumors in the capital, if it weren't for the close relationship between the Nine Emperor Princes and the Su Mu Mansion, and the Queen Mother felt sorry for the Nine Emperor Princes, she would not have to marry Miss Yuan. ”
When Ji Rui heard this, he didn't say much, but his expression was much more indifferent.
The old lady raised her eyes to look at Ji Rui and said, "I'm bothered by the Nine Emperors, it's just that Shuang'er is impatient......
"Grandmother, what are you talking about?" After the old lady finished speaking, Yuan Shuang came in from outside, saw Ji Rui, stood behind the old lady and saluted slightly: "It turns out that the Nine Emperor Princes are also here." ”
Shen Qing looked sideways, looking at her as if she had cleaned up again, the smell of aromatherapy on her body was a lot heavier, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
The old lady's face was a little heavy: "Why are you here?" ”
The old lady meant to blame, but Yuanshuang smiled and said, "I heard that the Nine Emperors and the Queen Mother are here, how can Shuang'er not come to salute?" Grandmother and mother taught Shuang'er rules and etiquette since childhood, and Shuang'er couldn't help but be thoughtful. ”
As soon as Yuan Shuang finished speaking, the old lady secretly scolded a fool in her heart, and hurriedly said to Ji Rui: "The Nine Emperor Princes ......"
"I think the eldest lady is very knowledgeable." Ji Rui leaned back, took a sip of the tea on the side, and then said: "Miss Yuan is usually raised in the deep boudoir, and it is rare to go out, and now that she is old, have you ever thought about getting married?" ”
"This ......" Hearing Ji Rui ask, Yuan Shuang looked at the old lady slightly, only to find that the old lady's face was more embarrassed than the pork liver in sauce, so she hurriedly said: "Shuang'er has already liked someone." ”
"Oh? Lover? Ji Rui was originally forced to force the old lady to make a marriage contract between Yuanshuang and the eldest prince, but he never thought that this Yuanshuang would be bold.
The old lady was so angry that her hands began to tremble, suppressed her anger, and said: "Shuang'er, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, where did you come from, don't joke with the Nine Emperor Princes, the queen's mother is also here, if it spreads, you must not laugh off your big teeth." ”
The old lady's hint has been given obviously, but when the queen occasionally mentioned this matter in the past, she didn't take it to heart, and she didn't expect the queen to come to the door today, so she never mentioned it to Yuan Shuang.
However, the old lady still overestimated Yuan Shuang, and she came over this time to use the queen's mouth to set a marriage with Xuanyuan.
She hurriedly said, "Grandmother, you forgot what Shuang'er mentioned to you?" Shuang'er and Xuanyuan Proton are in love, although they have only met once, but ......" Yuanshuang lowered her eyes shyly and smiled: "Shuang'er is in this life, and if you are not Xuanyuan Proton, you will not marry ......"
"You ——!" The old lady wanted to scold the fool, but it was too late.
Ji Rui looked like he was watching a good show, glanced at his father-in-law who was also unpretentious, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law De, tell me, how is this good?" This prince is also the first time to see such a sincere woman, otherwise, go to the queen mother to ask for permission? ”
Gonggong De held the dust in his hand, and a little yin owl appeared on his face, staring at Yuanshuang for a long time before lowering his eyebrows: "The slave doesn't know." ”
Seeing this, Ji Rui smiled, and said, "Miss Yuan, this prince will definitely tell the queen mother and father about this matter for you." ”
When Yuan Shuang heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you Nine Emperor Princes!" ”
Ji Rui said that, and got up: "The queen is still burning incense in the temple, and she may be summoned in the afternoon, so you can wait here." With that, he left straight away, without looking at Shen Qing on the way, as if she was a transparent person.
Shen Qing saw Father-in-law De who was still holding Ji Rui, his steps were very large, his face was tense, it seemed that he was very angry about today's events. It's just that this queen really secretly took Ji Rui's blood to save her son, and now she asked him to offend the Sumu Mansion and force Yuan Shuang to marry, how did Ji Rui agree to her? Could it be that he has some handle in the hands of the queen?
Shen Qing clenched the dagger in his hand tightly, turned his head and said, "Grandmother, since the queen mother is going to summon her in a while, then the granddaughter-in-law will go back and pack up and prepare." ”
The old lady didn't stop her much, she didn't have the heart to make things difficult for Shen Qing now, so she let her go.
But before Shen Qing went out of the room, she heard a loud slap from inside, and looked sideways slightly, Yuan Shuang covered her face and ran out of it crying, and hit her hard.
Shen Qing easily stood firm, and when he turned around, he saw the old lady standing at the door with a cold face, so he lowered his eyes and left.
Out of the yard, Mama Yang was already waiting.
Shen Qing looked at her with a pale face and slightly blue lips, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Mama Yang looked back and saw that no one was coming, so she returned the pill in her hand to her: "When the slave went, she was already dead." ”
"Suicide?"
"Not really." After Mama Yang finished speaking, she took out a gold-inlaid jade earring from her sleeve, and there was still a little flesh on it: "In Mama Yan's hands, the slave maid found this." ”
The picture in Shen Qing's mind was violently played, and when Fang Cai Yuanshuang hit him hard and ran away, the left earlobe was a little red and swollen, without earrings, and the right ear was there, and it should be a pair with this one.
"How could it be her?" Shen Qing was puzzled, and Mama Yang raised her eyes to look at her: "Does the princess know who did it?" ”
"It should be Yuanshuang." After Shen Qing finished speaking, he looked at Mama Yang's frowning brows, told what she had just seen, and said, "Yuan Shuang should have no grudges with Mama Yan, how could she risk killing her at this time?" ”
Mama Yang shook her head, and the two continued to walk forward, walking around the corner, but they almost collided with the person who ran out.
When the little guy saw that it was Shen Qing and the others, he hurriedly lowered his head and retreated to the side.
Shen Qing looked at this familiar face, the corners of his mouth were slightly sarcastically hooked, it turned out to be Liu Qing, he was worried that Mama Yan would make something again, so he sent someone over to kill people and kill people. The person should not be Yuan Shuang's hand, but she must have brought this little guy in.
When they were far away, Mama Yang said, "Princess, that person is ......."
"Well, let's be careful, Mama Yan should be his hand." Shen Qing said, looked back, and a figure flashed, his eyes were slightly cool, and he turned his head into the room.
It was only morning, and there was still a long time before it got dark, so it was impossible for her to go to Ji Rui in private, so she thought about going to the secret room first, where there should be a lot of things stored before.
When Shen Qing came out with a change of slightly more modest clothes, none of the mothers-in-law and maids dared to ask more, there was silver charcoal burning in the house, and as soon as she went out, all the stoves and cloaks to warm her hands were handed to her.
"I'll go out for a walk, you guys just wait here, only this time, don't let people in again." Shen Qing said lightly.
Everyone hurriedly responded, not daring to talk nonsense.
Seeing this, the corners of Shen Qing's mouth raised, and he led Mama Yang out together. The two of them twisted around, not only throwing off the people behind them, but also arriving at the door of the secret room.
"Princess, what is this place?" Mama Yang had a lot of questions in her heart, why she was so familiar with this place, why she could have the key to such a room that seemed to have been visited by no one for a long time, but she didn't ask in the end.
Shen Qing looked at her cautious appearance and chuckled: "It's a secret." ”
Mama Yang knew that she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask: "The slave is guarding you outside." ”
"It's hard work, mama." Shen Qing said, turned around and pushed the door in, and when he saw something familiar, his eyes were wet. More memories began to flood into her mind, evoking her murderous aura.
Ji Wuhuan went up the mountain near lunch, did not go to see the old lady, but went straight to Shen Qing, but when he arrived, there was no trace of her.
When Shen Qing came back, he only saw the mothers-in-law guarding the door one by one.
"Princess, I'm afraid there are people in the house." Seeing this situation, Mama Yang whispered on the side.
Shen Qing bowed slightly, but took off the sachet on his waist: "Mama will keep it for me." "These mothers-in-law are used to stealing and playing tricks, but now they are strained to eat the cold wind outside, and the only possibility is that there are big people inside. It is impossible for the queen to come over suddenly, then there is only Ji Wuhuan.
Entering the flower hall, Shen Qing took off his cloak, looked at Ji Wuhuan who was sitting in the first seat with a black face, and stepped forward to salute: "Lord Wang." ”
"Where did you go?" Ji Wuhuan said coldly.
"It was too stuffy in the house, so I went out with Mama Yang." Shen Qing lowered his head and said, but wondered how Ji Wuhuan asked this: "Why did the prince suddenly come up the mountain, but...... Hungry again? ”
Shen Qing's words fell, and Yuan, who was guarding on the side, almost laughed out loud.
Ji Wuhuan looked at him with a dark face; "Go out and wait."
"Yes." Yuan was also busy responding, and when he walked to Shen Qing's side, he didn't forget to salute.
Shen Qing turned his head in confusion, but Ji Wuhuan poured himself a cup of tea and covered the expression on his face.
When Ji Wuhuan was drinking tea, he caught a glimpse of her and changed into a plain long dress, which looked a lot colder and more alienated, but the small face with a big palm looked thinner and more steady, without the charm of before, but more neat.
"There are everyone outside, although you know some fist and foot kung fu, but it is inevitable that people will be targeted, and you really want to go out in the future and bring a few more people." Ji Wuhuan put down the tea and said casually.
Shen Qing's eyebrows raised slightly: "Did the prince hear about Liu Qing and Mama Yan?" "Could it be that he came here because he was worried about himself?
Ji Wuhuan glanced at her lightly, looking at her looking at her sparkling eyes, her lips were dyed with a slight smile, but she immediately covered it up, and said, "Have you seen Ji Rui?" ”
Shen Qing saw that he was here for Ji Rui, and laughed at his own blind thoughts in his heart, but he seemed a lot more relaxed, nodded and sat down on the side: "The queen is using his blood as a sacrifice." ”
"Hmm." Ji Wuhuan responded lightly, but Shen Qing's hand holding the teacup paused slightly. Originally, I thought that Ji Rui was the emperor's favorite prince, and this kind of thing should be hidden and unknown, but now it seems that everyone knows it, so the so-called emperor's favorite, I'm afraid it also has another purpose.
"He didn't want to go on and wanted me to ...... We can help him. Shen Qing said.
Ji Wuhuan looked at her, but frowned: "You don't have to meddle in this matter, just be your princess." ”
"Yes." When Shen Qing heard this, he naturally responded: "Will the prince help him?" ”
Ji Wuhuan glanced at her coldly: "The princess seems to be very concerned about other men's affairs?" ”
"I ......"
"Alright." Ji Wuhuan didn't want to listen to it anymore, and his tone became cold: "What you asked you to check, how did you check?" ”
Seeing his attitude, Shen Qing's heart also became cold, and he said everything that the eldest lady said word for word, and after finishing speaking, he found that his face was already black and about to drip water, his fists were tightened, his knuckles were white, and the green tendons between his foreheads were bursting out, as if he was enduring great pain.
After a while, he got up, didn't say a word, and left directly.
After he left, Mama Yang hurriedly walked in, saw that Shen Qing was just drinking tea indifferently, and said euphemistically: "Princess, between husband and wife, you should be more patient, after all, the days ahead are still long." ”
Shen Qingwan asked for the sachet to be tied again, and then said: "Tell me to go down, prepare lunch, be hearty, the prince will come over." ”
"Yes." When Mama Yang heard this, she bent her eyes and laughed.
Shen Qing turned his head and went back to the room, took out the bottles and cans and some hidden weapons hidden on his body, and then breathed a sigh of relief and began to tinker.
Ji Wuhuan didn't come back to eat at noon, Shen Qing sent someone to stay in the kitchen, and it didn't take long for news to come from the front, saying that the queen asked her to come over.
When Shen Qing arrived, the old lady and the eldest lady were there, and the eldest lady was a little restless, holding a handkerchief, and staring at the queen sitting in the first seat with her mouth slightly open.
The queen is a woman over fifty years old, graceful and luxurious, and her demeanor makes people dare not look at it directly, wearing a phoenix robe, sitting on the first seat, seeing Shen Qing coming, she smiled and said: "You are the princess of Dayanlai, it is really stunning." ”
"The mother is overrated." Shen Qing lowered her head and smiled lightly, looking gentle, but the queen didn't seem to come to see her obedient appearance.
"I heard that yesterday, you were stunned to make the eldest princess angry, and at night you were lucky to catch the current situation of the son of the Liu family, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and he handled it well, which is very rare." The queen said as if jokingly, a little joking, a little serious, I am afraid that only she knows.
When Shen Qing heard this, his back straightened, and he bit his lip slightly: "It's the concubine who is reckless, she is new to Dawei, and she still doesn't know the rules of Dawei, and I'm afraid that I will have to bother my grandmother and aunt for more guidance in the future." ”
The old lady was happy to watch the play, but she didn't think that Shen Qing would drag herself on, although she was not safe, but she had to respond: "When you go back, I will ask you to teach Mama Xi." ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Shen Qing looked like a good granddaughter-in-law.
The queen looked at her, slim, gentle and lovely, and it didn't look like she had made the eldest princess who was used to oppressing people with power so angry that she couldn't say anything twice, but she was still born, and now she looks so good and thorny, I'm afraid it's a disguise, if that's the case, this girl's scheming is too deep.
"You have a good relationship with your grandmother." The queen laughed.
"My grandmother treated me like her own." Shen Qing smiled, looking at the queen's eyes looking straight at her, not knowing what her purpose was. Before Ji Rui said that she came for herself and Yuan Shuang, why did Yuan Shuang already know, but what about herself?
The old lady smiled and didn't speak, but the queen laughed: "That's good, but your grandmother always spoils her grandchildren, don't be spoiled by her." ”
The queen was using this to refer to Yuanshuang, and when the eldest lady heard this, her whole person tensed, and she hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the princess is sensible, how can she be spoiled." ”
"Really?" The queen's tone was a little cold, and the eldest lady nodded hurriedly.
The old lady looked at her unstable appearance, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and said, "Niangniang came here this time, and she invited the gods for the eldest prince." ”
The queen looked at her with a smile: "Well, the eldest prince has been in a lot better recently, and the imperial doctor said that if you invite it a few more times, it will definitely be fine this year." When the queen said this, she was a little proud and happy.
The old lady smiled: "That's really a great joy, as soon as the prince wakes up, it will be a celebration for the whole world." ”
"That's why this palace wants to marry back a princess, so that the eldest prince can be happy, so that he can wake up as soon as possible." The queen stared at the old lady and said, in fact, it is not impossible for Yuanshuang, but the queen's mother's family is weak, if she can let the eldest prince marry the solemn mansion, it can be regarded as having a powerful relative. The power of the solemn mansion is not comparable to any family in the court, which is why the old lady has not married off her granddaughters for a long time, and she is not in a hurry.
Shen Qing saw that she was no longer discussing herself, and was busy preparing to retract her head and be a turtle, but the queen seemed to have eaten herself, and said to her: "The princess thinks what this palace said makes sense?" ”
The eldest lady hurriedly looked at her, Shen Qing was helpless, got up and saluted: "The concubine doesn't know the stakes, it's hard to say, I think the mother and grandmother are smarter than the concubine, the decision you made must be right." ”
The queen looked at her words that no one should be offended, but she was even more happy, and only said: "Okay, I know that you are embarrassed, after all, Miss Yuan has begged the Nine Emperor Princes and the palace, and she has to marry Xuanyuan Proton." After speaking, he looked at the old lady with a smile: "I heard that an envoy will come over in a few days after Nanzhao, I'm afraid it's the idea of taking Xuanyuan Proton back." Over the years, the national strength of Nanzhao has become stronger and stronger, and the border is even more imminent, and a few days ago, the palace also heard the emperor say that this Nanzhao is afraid that he is restless, and plans to take the opportunity to start an incident. ”
As soon as the queen said this, if the Sumu Mansion still insisted on marrying Xuanyuan, it would be suspected of connecting with other countries, although the Sumu Mansion was huge, but this point would never dare to touch. But the current situation is that if you don't marry Xuanyuan Li, you have to marry the eldest prince......
The eldest lady was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, and Yuanshuang had already been detained in the room, but what should she do now, did she really give up this only daughter? If the eldest prince has been bad, Yuan Shuang will have to be a widow for the rest of her life, and she will never be able to give birth to a grandson, then her life will be over, and she will not be of any help to the Sumu Mansion.
The old lady thought about the stakes very clearly, but now she was ready to send it.
When she was struggling, it was the queen who opened her mouth first: "What is the old lady doing so seriously, this palace is not still forced to marry, if you don't want to, just do it." ”
"This ......" The old lady looked at the queen hesitantly, but the queen just smiled and turned her head to look at Shen Qing: "Does the princess know Lin Miaoyue, the young daughter of the Ningguo Mansion?" ”
Shen Qing naturally didn't know her, and the queen also knew that she didn't know.
She shook her head honestly, but when she mentioned the Ningguo Mansion, the old lady's face sank slightly, knowing that the queen was going to use herself as a target.
"She's younger than you, and she's also smart, after a few **** mothers are going to enter the palace to ask for peace, then you will come with you, this palace sees you so well-behaved, I really like it." The queen laughed.
The old lady couldn't help but speak: "Niangniang, isn't this Ningguo Mansion family, not because when Lao Ningguo and Lao Su Mugong went to the battlefield together, they were defeated and fled, and they were punished by the emperor and not allowed to enter Beijing, why did they return to the capital?" ”
"I haven't returned to the capital yet, but the palace has begged the emperor, and I will come back in a few days. And Ning Guogong is also a great achievement, the incident of that year, although the old Su Mugong was unfortunately killed, but there is no evidence to identify that it must be Ning Guogong who escaped from the battle, isn't it? When is the time for retribution, old lady, you should look at it better. The queen said lightly, but her tone was very cold.
The old lady was so blue that she couldn't say a word, so she got up for a long time, saluted the queen, and said, "Niangniang, can you let the courtiers go back and think about it?" After all, Shuang'er is also old, so she married the noble prince like this, and the old body is worried that she is not worthy. ”
When the queen heard this, she smiled lightly: "The old lady is still so cautious. The queen smiled, and then turned her head to look at Shen Qing: "Princess Huainan, in a few days, you must enter the palace." ”
Shen Qing was a little annoyed that the queen wanted to involve herself, but she still saluted: "Yes." ”
"And ......" The queen smiled: "Let the prince of Huainan come over together, and the Nine Emperor Princes will tell the palace that there is boredom in the palace, so let the king of Huainan also come in and talk." ”
When Shen Qing heard this, he hid the emotions in his eyes, and only then came out with the old lady.
When she came out, it was not early, and the old lady had eaten a mouthful of cold wind, and she had not been relieved for a few days, so she stopped coughing at this time.
The eldest lady hurriedly stroked her back, Shen Qing stood behind, looking at a few people, her mind was a little complicated, and she suddenly felt that her choice seemed to be a wrong choice. Although Ji Wuhuan can help her deal with Xuanyuan Li, there are too many troubles in his family. However, after entering the palace in a few days, he was allowed to explore the affairs of the envoys of Nanzhao, Xuanyuan Li thought about leaving so easily, how could it be!
"Mother, why do you have to promise the queen mother to think again?" The eldest lady asked as she stroked it.
As soon as she finished saying this, the old lady pushed her hand away: "Shuang'er just follows you, looking smart, in fact, she is a straw bale!" ”
The eldest lady was stunned, it was the first time that the old lady scolded her like this outside.
The old lady didn't care about her face, and when she remembered the death of the old Su Mu Gong, she was haunted, if the old Su Mu Gong could live a few more years, the current Su Mu Gong was afraid that he would be able to be crowned as a king with a different surname. Now that the queen is using this as a threat to instigate the emperor to take back Ning Guogong's family, she felt that her heart was churning, and she walked away.
The eldest lady had red eyes aggrievedly, but she had to follow.
Shen Qing also wanted to follow, but she heard a voice on the side, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was Ji Rui's attendant, who was glancing at her from behind the big tree.
In a certain side room, a man in a crimson shirt covered his handkerchief and coughed for a while, before he looked at Ji Wuhuan who was cold in front of him with a smile: "Wuhuan, if she comes, will you give her to me?" ”
Ji Wuhuan glanced at him lightly: "What are you doing suddenly pulling her in?" ”
Ji Rui looked at him and smiled: "I like it." Anyway, you're not interested in women, you can't coax people, and you don't understand women's minds, so why don't you let me, and I'll find you another eye-catching and obedient one, how about it? ”
Ji Wuhuan didn't answer, thinking of Shen Qing's words and whispers in his dream before, his expression became a little colder.
"Are you tempted by this girl?" Ji Rui looked at his silent appearance and asked with a smile.
"Nope." Ji Wuhuan replied quickly.
"Really?" Ji Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Whatever I asked you before, you would give it to me." Wuhuan, this time you didn't agree. ”
"If she doesn't want to go, am I going to drive her away?" Ji Wuhuan said suddenly.
When Ji Rui heard this, he was stunned, but he laughed, and only said when he laughed so much that there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "Unless she has a tendency to be abused, or she has other plans, otherwise, how can she not choose the more handsome, handsome, gentle and golden prince?" ”
Ji Wuhuan glanced at him, didn't say much about this topic, and only said, "What are you going to do about the sacrifice." You think clearly, if you don't agree to the sacrifice, the emperor will ...... there."
"I know." When Ji Rui heard this, his smile slowly fell, and he was replaced by a cynical face: "Father thinks that my blood can bring strength, so I will give him my blood, but it will never be given to the queen's son." ”
Ji Wuhuan looked at him lightly: "You have to think about it." ”
The corners of Ji Rui's mouth rose evilly: "He is a benevolent and virtuous monarch, and the wicked have let the queen do it, I just don't, I want to tear the skin ...... on his face."
"Ji Rui!" Ji Wuhuan warned coldly, Ji Rui's cynicism disappeared in an instant, looked at him and smiled gently, leaned on the side weakly and stopped talking.
Not long after, word came from outside, saying that Shen Qing had arrived.
Ji Rui looked at Ji Wuhuan who was frowning, and said with a smile: "Wuhuan, now she is mine......"
Before Ji Rui's words fell, Ji Wuhuan got up and went straight out.
Seeing this, Ji Rui lowered his eyebrows lightly, looked at the sake in the cup, and drank it in one gulp.
"What are you going to do!"
Facing his questioning, Shen Qing was stunned: "The Nine Emperor Princes asked me to come over ......"
"Didn't this king tell you that you are not allowed to get involved in this matter! You care so much about the lives of other men? Ji Wuhuan didn't know why he was so angry.
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and smiled obediently: "Since the prince doesn't allow it, the concubine will go back." With that, he turned around and left.
Ji Wuhuan looked at her hiding the spikes all over her body, her teeth tightened, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart, sour and uncomfortable.
"Wait for me in the room." Ji Wuhuan looked at her back and said.
Shen Qing also had a fire in his heart, but he smiled sideways and saluted: "Yes." With that, he turned around and left.
Ji Wuhuan looked at her back, a small ball, and the cold wind blew up the green silk that fell behind her, making people only feel that she was extremely thin, but she was by no means a cowardly woman, she was different.
Thinking of this, Ji Wuhuan's lips lifted slightly.
Yuan also followed to the side, Ji Wuhuan's ups and downs all fell into his eyes, and he was stunned in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, you have never lost your temper like this because of a woman in the past......"
"Really?" Ji Wuhuan also came back to his senses suddenly.
Yuan also nodded: "There are so many women sent in the courtyard, you have never taken it seriously, and we have not yet found out the identity of this princess." ”
Ji Wuhuan's hand tightened suddenly, and he watched Shen Qing disappear completely in front of him after the corner, and then said coldly: "Then send someone to continue to investigate, and also, check Xuanyuan Li, and see who the women around him are in the past few years." ”
"Yes."
"Inform Sang Rou that the next step can be carried out." Ji Wuhuan said that, then turned around and wanted to enter the door, Yuan was also surprised: "But didn't the prince say that he would see the princess in a while?" ”
Ji Wuhuan stood still, but he felt that even leading troops to fight was not as difficult to make a decision as it is now, and after a while, he spoke: "I'm not going." With that, he walked away.
Yuan also stood in place, looking at Ji Wuhuan who had become that indifferent and ruthless appearance again, and then turned his head to look at Shen Qing, who had already left, and suddenly regretted what he said. The prince has never shown feelings to anyone for so many years, and now it should be a good thing, but what is the identity of the princess? I hope it's the real Princess Dayan.
After Shen Qing came out, he went straight back to the room: "Clean up, the prince will come back in a while." Shen Qing explained after he came back.
Mama Yang was a little happy: "You and the prince have already released their previous suspicions?" ”
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, can it be regarded as a release of his suspicions, Ji Wuhuan is becoming more and more complicated, originally thought that after they reached a deal, they would no longer need to use tricks such as 'beauty tricks', but he was still the same as Xuanyuan Li, not only to use himself as a tool, but also to regard himself as his vassal.
"Also, pack up your things, I'm afraid I'll go down the mountain tomorrow." Shen Qing said lightly, then went back and changed into civilian clothes, made people prepare dinner, and began to wait for Ji Wuhuan to come over.
Mama Yang was convinced of Shen Qing's words, and since this period of time, she has felt more and more that Shen Qing is not a simple boudoir woman, but the third master's family plus the eldest lady, I am afraid that they are not her opponents. Thinking of this, she felt that her goal would be realized one day, so she was at ease and followed her steadily.
Shen Qing waited until midnight, and the meal was hot four or five times, and he didn't wait for Ji Wuhuan.
"Princess......" Mama Yang looked at Shen Qing who was sitting upright, afraid that she would be sad: "The prince may have something to delay." ”
"Hmm."
Shen Qing didn't show any sad look, he responded lightly, and then picked up the chopsticks: "Don't wait, you all have to eat first, and after eating, you will all go down to rest." ”
Mama Yang didn't say more, Ji Wuhuan and Ji Rui didn't send any more news, but in the middle of the night, there was a cry in the old lady's courtyard.
"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry the eldest prince." Yuan Shuang knew that after the afternoon, she had already cried and swollen her eyes.
The eldest lady had to sigh, and Yuan Shuang said again: "Let's go and beg Daddy, let Daddy help Shuang'er......"
"It's useless." The eldest lady had red eyes: "My aunt just gave birth to a son for him, where would he go to the old lady to be scolded for this matter." ”
When Yuan Shuang heard this, she pushed her away: "Then why don't you give birth to a son for your father, if you can give birth to a son, we won't be manipulated like this." ”
The eldest lady looked at her, she was anxious and angry, and after being humiliated by the old lady in the afternoon, the whole person was already exhausted, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and she cried at the desk.
After the old lady learned about it, she only felt that she couldn't hold her face, so she asked people to clean up overnight, and asked the queen to resign early in the morning to go down the mountain.
Shen Qing also came over, but they came to ask for their resignation, and the queen just asked people to come to see her, but she didn't show up, and the people who talked back and forth were also in a hurry. The old lady had no intention of inquiring, and was bent on going down the mountain, so she took people away without saying much, and Shen Qing couldn't ask even if she wanted to.
After going down the mountain, it was an hour to return to Beijing, but something happened halfway through.
The downpour fell, and the cold rain poured on the people, so that the lips were white and shivering.
"Old lady, I'm afraid I'm going to turn back and ask someone to fix it." An attendant rode over, but it turned out that the first few large carriages were all broken, and the repaired parts had to be bought back in the town.
In such a situation, the old lady couldn't say anything, so she only sent someone over quickly, and then sent someone to the capital to reassign the carriage over.
Because the old lady was in a hurry to go back, she did not take the official road, but a small road, and now she is looking around, and there is no place to shelter from the rain, but it is muddy and bumpy everywhere. While everyone was in distress, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then the sound of horses' hooves stopped.
Shen Qing leaned back in the carriage and slowly combed through her memories, but a familiar voice from outside made her sit up straight suddenly, how could Xuanyuan Li appear here, isn't Proton not allowed to leave the capital!
"Why don't you take my carriage back to Beijing first, and I'll wait here for someone to come."
The old lady doesn't look down on Xuanyuan, but it doesn't mean that she will refuse at this time. Glancing at his small carriage: "How many people can sit in this carriage?" ”
"Barely able to sit down three people." Xuanyuan left the road.
The old lady looked at him again: "Why did the proton suddenly appear here?" ”
"The envoys of Nanzhao come here, and the emperor has allowed me to come out for a walk." Xuanyuan smiled gently, then got out of the carriage with an umbrella and stood on the side of the road.
Shen Qing lifted the carriage curtain, looked at him in plain white clothes, looked at his warm and handsome face like jade, his face was slightly gloomy, all this today, is it too coincidental!
When the old lady heard this, she looked at the person next to her: "How long will it take for the person who went to buy parts to come back?" ”
"Back to the old lady, this back and forth, plus repairs, I'm afraid it will take two hours."
"So long?" The old lady was skeptical.
"This part is hard to find, and ordinary stores may not have it, so I'm afraid I have to look for it."
Yuan Shuang showed her face, looked at Xuanyuan Li, and bit her lip aggrievedly.
The old lady thought about it, but agreed to take his carriage. She has to hurry back to deal with Yuanshuang's affairs, as well as the rumors of Mama Yan and Liu Qing, even though Mama Yan is dead, I am afraid that this rumor will not stop.
When she got into the carriage, she naturally wouldn't leave Yuanshuang with Xuanyuan, so she also took their mother and son.
Seeing this, Shen Qing hurriedly got out of the carriage: "Grandmother ......"
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Just aggrieved you to wait a little longer, I believe that Xuanyuan Proton is a righteous gentleman and will definitely send you back safely." With that, he left three or five attendants, and left with the others.
Shen Qing held a paper umbrella in his hand, closed his eyes weakly, and turned his head to return to the carriage, but Xuanyuan Li spoke: "Princess, I know that there is a farmhouse in front, go there to take shelter from the rain." ”
"No need, just wait in this carriage." After Shen Qing finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the few maids and women who were left behind changed their faces and said busily: "Princess, if you wait for two hours, I am afraid that all the slaves and maids will freeze to death." ”
Mama Yang thought that Shen Qing was worried about Qingyu, and hurriedly said: "Princess, there are slaves and maids to follow, and you go to someone's farmhouse, there will be no accident." ”
Shen Qing could also feel his hot gaze with his back to Xuanyuanli, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised coldly, and he turned his head to look at him indifferently: "Since this is the case, I will bother Xuanyuan Proton to lead the way." ”
Xuanyuan Li looked at the cinnabar with her eyebrows red, and was even more sure that she was Shen Qing. Just seeing her indifferent eyes, my heart throbbed.
"Princess, please." Xuanyuan left to the side, and his tone suddenly became gentle, such gentleness, Shen Qing had remembered it in his bones.
She restrained her strangeness. If he doesn't admit it, can he still slander with empty mouths?
She left straight away, and when the familiar breath on his body came, it still made her heart like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, but there was no more love.
When she left, Xuanyuan left the people beside her and reminded: "Proton, we don't have much time, and if we don't go back, I'm afraid that the people in the capital will take the first step." ”
"It's okay." There are some things that he must confirm clearly.
"But......" The attendant stopped him, looked at his resolute appearance, and said, "What if she is really the Pavilion Master?" Do you want to kill again? ”
Xuanyuan paused in his footsteps, and the cold wind penetrated into his internal organs, but as long as he looked at her, he felt that there was always a warm place in his heart.
"If it's her, then this time, no one can do anything to her again!"
"But ......"
"No, but, even this time, she wants my life." After Xuanyuan Li finished saying this, his heart seemed to be relieved, the corners of his lips raised slightly, looking at the indifferent little figure in front of him, and his eyes went forward firmly.
