Chapter 66: The Strange Great Prince
Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.
The second master committed suicide.
The news was sent to the Huainan Mansion early the next morning, along with the box that the second master asked Aunt Feng to give to Ji Wuhuan that day.
The girl who came to talk back had a sad face: "The old lady is already crying and fainting, lord, go back and take a look." ”
Ji Wuhuan opened the box in his hand, looked at the only bracelet and a letter inside, his face was tense, and he couldn't say a word.
Yuan also stood on the side, sent the maid ring down, and then said, "Lord Wang, do you want to prepare the carriage?" ”
Ji Wuhuan didn't speak, he just went to the study with an indifferent face as before, and then didn't come out again.
When Shen Qing knew the news, Ji Wuhuan had already locked himself in the study for half an hour.
Su Qiu brought soup on the side: "Princess, what should I do?" ”
"Go and prepare the carriage and plain clothes." Shen Qing commanded, she naturally knew what Ji Wuhuan was thinking, he had endured so many years in the Solemn Mansion, and the only reason was that he was afraid that this father who was not related by blood.
Su Qiu responded, and Mama Yang came over to help Shen Qing: "Princess, go slowly, the prince is there, I'm afraid I can figure it out myself, but I just need to take it slowly." ”
"Well, I'll just wait outside the study, and I'm just pregnant, so I don't have to be so careful." Shen Qing said lightly.
Mama Yang didn't say anything when she saw her like this, turned her head and took the cloak and put it on her, and then went out with her.
Ji Rui also came, waiting outside the study, when he saw Shen Qing, he looked at her in a plain dress, he was stunned, and immediately remembered that she was pregnant, so he hid the bitterness in his smile and said, "Is the princess okay?" ”
"Everything's fine." Facing Ji Rui's greetings, Shen Qing was more like seeing an old friend, with a natural and cordial feeling.
In three days, the New Year will end, and the second master has picked a good day to go.
Shen Qing and Ji Rui stood at the door together, and asked lightly, "Has the emperor returned to the palace?" ”
"I went back, and when I went back, Ji Wei went to make trouble." Ji Rui smiled faintly, looking at her slightly thin figure, he felt a little pity, but turned his head away and stopped looking, he was worried that his unlucky heterochromatic eyes would bring her misfortune.
Shen Qing looked at Ji Rui, seeing that he seemed to have matured a lot, and only sighed in a short period of time, he can really hone people.
Seeing that she didn't ask, Ji Rui said again: "Aren't you worried that Ji Wei said bad things about you?" ”
"I said it for sure, but the emperor believes it or not, or doesn't care, just see you standing here leisurely, and I will know." Shen Qing smiled faintly, if the emperor had other ideas, he would have taken action a long time ago, where would he let Ji Rui tell her.
Ji Rui smiled: "Okay, I knew you should have thought of it." Also, the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and he recently issued an order to let the queen serve by his side step by step, so you can rest assured for a while. ”
Shen Qing didn't speak, the emperor detained the queen, it was only a temporary measure, if he still didn't set up a prince, the queen's strength would be hard to use on Ji Wuhuan, and there would be no end.
As he was talking, the door of the study was opened, Ji Wuhuan came out, there seemed to be a lot more stubble, and people seemed to be much less heroic and cold than before.
Shen Qing took the plain clothes from Mama Yang on the side and gave it to him: "Lord Wang, the carriage has been prepared." ”
Ji Wuhuan looked at Shen Qing's concerned eyes and took her hand: "Qing'er, thank you." ”
Shen Qing held his hand with his backhand and looked at him gently: "Let's go." ”
"Okay." Ji Wuhuan held back the sourness in his throat and went to the solemn mansion with her.
The eldest master of the Sumu Mansion was arrested, and the second master committed suicide, even a fool can see that the Sumu Mansion has fallen out of favor, and the hundred-year-old family will go into decline from now on, so the second master passed away, and the people who knew each other only sent their children over, and left after a few hurried greetings, when Shen Qing and the others came back, the door withered, the white curtain fluttered in the cold wind, and there was a faint cry in the house.
"Lord Wang!" When someone saw Ji Wuhuan coming, they immediately stepped forward excitedly to salute.
Ji Wuhuan looked at her, it was someone from Yuansong's room.
He didn't have the heart to blame, and carefully led Shen Qing inside.
The mourning hall was set up very simply, a coffin, a few candles, and no master was invited to chant the scriptures, only Aunt Feng knelt on the side and cried bitterly, and Yuan Xiujie knelt on the futon and didn't know what to think.
The old lady sat on the side, and when she saw Ji Wuhuan and his wife, she immediately scolded: "You still have the face to come back!" ”
Shen Qing glanced at her lightly, didn't she just want Wuhuan to come back, so that she could coerce him to rescue the eldest master.
Ji Wuhuan didn't look at her, just walked quietly to the coffin, took the dark paper, and knelt on the futon, his eyes red.
The third lady hurriedly asked someone to bring hot tea on the side, brought a hand warmer, and carefully handed it to Shen Qing: "Since the princess is pregnant, don't be too sad, beware of hurting the child." The third lady carefully reassured.
Shen Qing glanced at her gratefully, and saw that she was followed by a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, who was hiding behind timidly but couldn't help but look at her curiously, so she also nodded at her slightly, she knew that this should be the daughter Rou'er who had been raised in Zhuangzi by the third lady at the beginning.
Ji Wuhuan finished burning the paper and was about to get up and go to the place where the second master lived in front of him, but he heard the old lady scold: "Stop!" ”
The third master was frightened and hurriedly took two steps back.
The old lady stared at Ji Wuhuan with hatred: "Are you leaving like this?" It's your father who died, and you're so ruthless and indifferent? ”
Ji Wuhuan didn't want to quarrel with her, after all, this was her father's mourning hall.
He protected Shen Qing and continued to walk out, and the old lady roared: "Ji Wuhuan, are you still human, your father is dead, you, who are sons, don't care about it after you come over, are you worthy of your dead father!" ”
Ji Wuhuan's face became more and more cold, and when the third master saw this, he hurriedly said: "Wuhuan, your father was still talking about you before he died, how can you say that you should also keep filial piety here, and wait for your father to go before leaving." ”
The old lady snorted coldly: "Heartless white-eyed wolf, if you don't care about your father and the solemn mansion, then let's go!" ”
Ji Wuhuan's face was tense, and Shen Qing took his hand and squeezed it gently: "Lord Wang......"
Ji Wuhuan suppressed his anger little by little, and wanted to leave with Shen Qing, but he heard the old lady tell others loudly: "Don't prepare for the burial, if the eldest master doesn't come back, the second master won't be buried!" ”
When the third master and the third lady heard this, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, of course people must be buried in the ground when they die, how can they stay here all the time.
"Mother......" The third old man wanted to persuade, but he didn't want the crutches in the old lady's hand to slam the pestle on the ground: "The second child should also hope that the Sumu Mansion will continue to exist, even if he dies, he is still a ghost of the Sumu Mansion, unlike some things that eat inside and outside......"
"Three days later, if my father hadn't been buried in the ground, I would have listed the ugly things that the Solemn Mansion had done back then, and the ugly things you had done, and hung them on the city wall one by one!" Ji Wuhuan looked at the old lady, her eyes were as cold as ice, as if she could step forward and kill her in the next second.
Everyone was shocked, and Rou'er, who was young, was so frightened that she hid behind the third lady and sobbed quietly.
Feng covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak, but the old lady turned blue and glared at Ji Wuhuan: "What, do you want to force me to death!" ”
Her voice was so sharp that it made people's ears hurt when they heard it.
Shen Qing knew that she was used to relying on the old and selling the old and playing these scoundrels.
"The second master is the father of the king of Huainan, if the old lady refuses to let him enter the earth for peace, we will definitely enter the palace to worship the saint and ask the saint for a ruling!" Shen Qing said directly, not saving her face anymore. Ji Wuhuan is not good at dealing with such an old scoundrel, but she is good at it.
The old lady was so angry that her eyes were dizzy, and she pointed at Shen Qing and shouted: "You still don't show shame enough to lose enough?" ”
"If you want to lose face, it's not that Huainan Wangfu is ashamed. The old lady is now old, it's time to think about how to maintain the only face she has, even her own son will not let go, the old lady, the tiger poison still does not eat children, what about you? Shen Qing said in a cold voice, and then looked at Yuan Xiujie on the ground: "Third son, since the old lady still recognizes you, then you will have to worry more about your father's affairs." ”
Yuan Xiujie dared to speak out at this time, so he could only pretend not to hear it, but Ji Wuhuan didn't allow him not to hear it.
"Third brother, do you hear that?" Ji Wuhuan said coldly.
Yuan Xiujie trembled with fright, looked at Aunt Feng, who was crying breathlessly, and then looked at the angry old lady, and nodded: "Yes." ”
The old lady was dizzy, but she pointed to forcing Ji Wuhuan to rescue Yuan Song this time, otherwise there would be no chance.
"Wuhuan ......" She saw that the strong one couldn't do it, and finally came soft: "You have been by your grandmother's side for so many years, and you have been doing solemn kung fu for so many years, do you have to watch Su Mu fall?" Wuhuan, you won't be so ruthless, right, grandmother is old, it is inevitable that sometimes she will be confused, you won't care about grandmother, right? As the old lady spoke, tears rolled down, but Shen Qing could see that her tears were not because of guilt, but because she thought that the Sumu Mansion was about to be destroyed in her hands.
Seeing this, the third master also hurriedly said: "Yes, Wuhuan, you will help us this time, anyway, you are also such a big prince in the solemn mansion, right?" ”
As soon as the third master said this, Ji Wuhuan's expression became even more indifferent. How many years he has been in the Sumu Mansion, how many years has he been framed by them.
"Yuan Song's charges have been exhausted......
"That's those people who deserve to die, they are lowly to the dust, why kill them, take a little silver from them, and sentence my Song'er to death!" The old lady broke down and drank.
Ji Wuhuan had completely broken off his thoughts about the Sumu Mansion and left with Shen Qing without looking back.
The old lady watched Ji Wuhuan leave, knowing that hope was completely broken.
She sat on the ground in a decadent manner, looking at the cold coffin and crying: "Why do you want to die now, why don't you help your mother rescue your eldest brother, you unfilial son, unfilial son!" ”
Everyone stopped talking, and the third lady took the opportunity to take Rou'er out of the house.
When Ji Wuhuan had already arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw the third lady running over in a hurry, holding a small burden in her hand.
"No Joy." The third lady stepped forward and handed him the burden: "I secretly went to the second brother's room to get it, and it was full of letters, and your name was written on the letter. ”
Ji Wuhuan's hand trembled, and he took the burden.
Shen Qing looked at Ji Wuhuan's red eyes, nodded slightly at the third lady, and when he left, he saw Yuan Ning'er who was hiding in the corner after the third lady, and said, "Why don't you come to Huainan Palace, I have something important for you." ”
The third lady looked at Shen Qing's eyes, turned to the side slightly, instantly understood her intentions, and nodded: "Okay." ”
Only then did Shen Qing turn his head to look at Ji Wuhuan: "Lord Wang......"
Ji Wuhuan came back to his senses, raised his hand and gently stroked her face: "Go home." ”
"Okay." Shen Qing grabbed Ji Wuhuan's hand, looked at him and smiled, and then got into the carriage and left.
The Sumu Mansion is still withered and deserted, but it seems that not many people are really sad about the death of the second master, they are just worried about their future after knowing that the King of Huainan completely ignores the Sumu Mansion.
Ji Rui followed and watched all the way, and saw that the couple went hand in hand, but they didn't follow again.
He looked at the fast horses that ran by, and felt a little envious, but the cold wind blew, and he began to cough again.
Back at the palace, Shen Qing pretended to be tired and rested, and asked Ji Wuhuan to read the letters left by the second master alone.
Su Qiu came over, added the silver charcoal in the house, and looked at her crooked at the head of the bed to arrange the children's clothes and jewelry, and smiled: "Why does the princess look like these?" ”
Shen Qingwan'er didn't say much, in fact, she was just thinking, fortunately she had this child, so that Wuhuan would feel better in her heart, after all, there are more people in this world who love him and care about him.
Two more days passed so calmly, until the day of the second master's burial, Ji Wuhuan personally took the two hundred people in the mansion and went straight to the solemn mansion and carried the coffin of the second master for burial.
Because Shen Qing's fetus is not in a stable state at present, she stayed in the house and never passed, but she also let Mama Yang take her place.
Su Qiu came in from outside and dusted off the snow on her body: "Today's snow is particularly heavy, and the sycamore tree in the front yard has been crushed and broken. She walked over and handed Shen Qing a letter: "The news from Di Yun, Xia Rao's side has already started to act." ”
"Why so fast?" Shen Qing frowned slightly.
Su Qiu poured hot tea for her and said, "When there was a riot among the people of Nanzhao, when the fourth prince Ji Yun led the troops to quell the riot, Xuanyuan Li appeared in the palace and almost killed the new emperor of Nanzhao. ”
"The result?" Speaking of Xuanyuan Li, she frowned fiercely.
"It didn't work, but the new emperor was stabbed blind in one eye." Su Qiu said again: "Xia Rao can't wait, and quietly brought someone to besiege Xuanyuan Li, but he seems to have an internal response in Nanzhao. ”
"Who should be inside?"
"I don't know yet." Su Qiu shook his head slightly: "But the current situation is okay for the time being." ”
Shen Qing was extremely worried: "Xuanyuan Li has been secretly cultivating forces in Nanzhao for so many years, the biggest of which is the princess of Great Wei Ji Wuwu, this time, Ji Wuwu has become the queen and has more power, this time Xuanyuan Li was able to enter the palace only thanks to her." ”
Su Qiu frowned, and his face was a little anxious: "Then what should I do, will we go to tell the new emperor of Nanzhao now?" ”
"He won't believe it, even if he does, he won't be able to hear from us, Ji Wuwu is a smart and resourceful woman, she should have replaced the people around the new emperor with her own people a long time ago. Let's wait......" Shen Qing sighed lightly in her heart, if she wasn't pregnant now, if she didn't have no joy now, she would definitely chase and kill the past, but not now, she has something more worth staying than going to take revenge immediately.
"Tell Xia Rao, let her not act rashly, listen to me, cultivate her own power well, and when the child is stable, I will personally go over and deal with it." Shen Qing knew that Xia Rao and Su Qiu couldn't wait, but now she had no choice.
When Su Qiu heard her next sentence, she frowned slightly: "Don't worry, princess, wait until the child is born." ”
Shen Qingwan had her own plans in her heart.
While the two were talking, there was news from outside, saying that a guest was coming.
"Which guest?" Su Qiu asked.
Yahuan shook her head: "I don't know, he wrapped himself tightly in a cloak, and the slaves and maids could only see his eyes, but he said that he was an old friend of the prince and the princess, so the slaves and maids led him to wait in the front hall." ”
Shen Qing listened, his eyebrows jumped, it shouldn't be that he came, but now there is no reason to refuse, so he has to get up: "You go and wait first, I'll be there later." ”
After that, he said to Su Qiu: "You sent someone to look for the prince, and said that there was a distinguished guest at home." ”
"Understood." Su Qiu hurriedly bowed his head.
Shen Qing changed into a light-colored regular clothes, and went to the front hall, and when he arrived, he saw the face he saw in the imperial garden that day.
The eldest prince sat upright, holding a pure white porcelain teacup specially customized by the Huainan Palace, and looked at it carefully, and waited until Shen Qing arrived, before he smiled and said: "No wonder the ninth brother likes to run to the Huainan Palace, but it turns out that there are so many things hidden." ”
Shen Qing's heart sank, and he stepped forward to salute.
"You're welcome, just sit down." After the eldest prince said that, he got up and looked at the shelves with various collections on the side, but Ji Wuhuan has never been interested in these things, some of the accessories are selected by Shen Qing, she doesn't like things like wind and snow, so people have found a lot of interesting little hidden weapons to put on the table, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.
The eldest prince became more and more energetic when he saw it, and said with a smile: "King Huainan is really an interesting person. ”
Shen Qing always felt strange when she heard what he said, but before she could ask, the eldest prince changed his words and said quietly: "Does the princess mind going back to the palace with this prince?" ”
Su Qiu was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Shen Qing.
Shen Qing finally calmed down, looked at the eldest prince without the slightest joke on his face, and knew that he was serious, so he lowered his eyebrows: "Shen Qing is already a wife, and there is no reason to leave with a foreign man." ”
"Really? You won't go? The eldest prince's tone was gloomy, he picked up the small hidden weapon in his hand and moved, but turned his head to Shen Qing and smiled: "If you don't go, I will kill you." ”
Shen Qing raised his eyes to look at him and frowned slightly: "Great Prince, this is the Huainan Palace." "If you want to kill her for no reason, you can't do it with his weak and vulnerable body.
"You don't believe me?" The eldest prince said again.
Shen Qing didn't know what trick he was playing, so he only said, "The eldest prince came over this time, but do you have any other orders?" ”
The eldest prince saw that she was still not frightened, and he was very bored, so he only said quietly: "If you don't go, I can't arrest you, what other way can you make Ji Wuhuan go back with me?" ”
As soon as the eldest prince said this, everyone began to think crookedly, Longyang was good in the previous dynasty, and the more nobles they were, the more they liked to play such things.
Shen Qingmei's heart jumped: "The eldest prince, the prince is busy with official business, I'm afraid I don't have time to enter the palace with you." ”
"I knew you would refuse, woman, you are always so jealous, it is really a waste that a well-informed and interesting person like Ji Wuhuan married you." The eldest prince said lightly, and began to throw the ornaments on the wooden lattice to the ground one by one, Shen Qing knew that he was going to move the real thing.
Shen Qing turned his head to look at Su Qiu, signaling her to go out to find someone first, and then took a step forward: "The eldest prince ......" Shen Qing approached, and the eldest prince suddenly had an extra cold blade in his hand, stabbing directly at her.
Everyone exclaimed, but Shen Qing's figure flashed quickly, and he grabbed the wrist of the eldest prince with his backhand, snatched the dagger in his hand, and asked in a cold voice: "The eldest prince, what are you doing!" ”
The eldest prince was surprised when he saw her neat skills, and then smiled and said: "Princess Huainan stabbed this prince because she disagreed, what crime should she be sentenced for?" ”
"You ......"
"Come on, take Princess Huainan away for me!" The eldest prince looked at Shen Qing with a smile, but there was no temperature in his eyes, as if he was just a walking machine.
Su Qiu had already brought someone over, and the eldest prince left the palace without permission, and he didn't bring a few people with him.
Shen Qing looked at him indifferently: "What does the eldest prince want to do?" ”
"What do you want to do?" The eldest prince was stunned, and simply didn't mention the matter, wrapped in a cloak and walked around the courtyard.
Su Qiu hurriedly came over: "Princess, are you okay?" ”
Shen Qing didn't know what the eldest prince's idea was, but it didn't seem like a good thing for him to stay here, so he said, "Go find the Nine Emperor Princes and ask him to report this matter to the emperor." ”
"Yes." Su Qiu nodded, and Shen Qing chased him out again, but after the eldest prince went around the Huainan Palace, he went directly into Ji Wuhuan's study, and simply sat in his study to take a nap, and when Shen Qing came, his eyes didn't open: "Ji Wuwu also told me one thing, saying that he wanted to go back to Dawei." ”
Shen Qing's footsteps paused: "How does the eldest prince know?" ”
"How do you think Ji Wuwu, a princess whose mother died early, can sit comfortably in the position of the crown princess in Nanzhao?" After the eldest prince finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qing, and saw that she was standing against the light, the coldness on her face was hidden, and she laughed instead: "I'm different from Ji Rui, I won't be fooled by you, so you don't have to say anything big to me here, when Ji Wuhuan comes back, I will take him into the palace, if you want to go, you can go together, as long as it's not noisy." ”
Shen Qing couldn't understand him more and more, could it be that he was as good as Longyang? But there is no emotion in his eyes, let alone love.
"In exchange for you not bothering me, I'll tell you one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Haven't you ever doubted why Xuanyuan Li always knows about some of your actions and plans?" After the eldest prince finished speaking, he saw Shen Qing's slightly changed face and continued to sleep on his stomach.
Shen Qing came out of the study, but he couldn't believe it.
"Princess, how's it going?" Su Qiu hurriedly came over.
Shen Qing looked at her and exhaled a long breath: "Prepare the horse, let's go to find the prince immediately!" ”
