Chapter 177: Return to Beijing

When you come, you have to take a boat, and when you go back, you have to take the same boat. The carriage travels all the way from the annex to the pier and then transfers.

The people of Chongyang sent farewell all the way, shouting "Prince Chitose" and "Ruiwang Chitose", and some people with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs threw and scolded the officials imprisoned in the prison car, and only waited for them to get on the boat and walk away, and then the people gradually dispersed.

Jiao Niang is still the same seasickness, but it is much better than when she came, at this time she is lying on Ying Che's lap, the river waves are smooth, swaying and shaking, a little comfortable.

In fact, Jiao Niang was a little puzzled, why Ying Che suddenly changed her mind and beheaded Xie Qizuo at the entrance of the vegetable market this morning. Of the four people in charge of the ledger, he is now the only one left. If you keep him, you may be able to involve the crown prince.

Looking at the prince's fearless smug appearance today, it is really annoying to watch.

She asked Ying Che like this, Ying Che smiled faintly, and asked her rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Jiao Niang was speechless, who asked whom. She sat up, looked at him, and thought for a moment: "His Highness copied his house, but kept it for his own use, His Highness is afraid of being known?"

Ying Che bowed slightly, and asked again, "Where else?"

Jiao Niang pursed her lips and looked at him, but she really couldn't think of it.

Ying Che smiled, stroked her head, and said: "Zhang Yan is cautious, and he did not reveal a trace of the prince in the accounts, and what Xie Qizuo said was one-sided. And if this king treats him like this, he must have a grudge against him, and if he can't get it right, he bites this king back, saying that this king instructed him to frame the prince. ”

After a pause, a sharp edge crossed his eyes, "What's more, this Xie Qizuo is the person who is King Rong, he wants to take advantage of the fisherman, don't even think about it." ”

This "he" is not talking about Xie Qizuo, Jiao Niang's heart was shocked, King Rong, that is the younger brother of Yingche's mother, the fifth prince Yingao.

King Rong's reputation in the court has always been very good, King Birui is introverted, more modest than the prince, gentle as jade, and has the style of a gentleman, like the character of Concubine Yi.

He has never fought or grabbed, and he has never heard of him participating in party struggles.

If, Jiao Niang secretly guessed that if Xie Qizuo was really King Rong's person, then he was most likely a key chess piece arranged by King Rong.

While pulling out the prince's affairs, he pulled Yingche into the water.

No wonder he took refuge in Yingche so happily at the beginning, and it turned out that he still had such a thought.

For a while, a layer of cold sweat appeared behind Jiao Niang's back, this court battle is really murderous without blood, and life and death are sometimes just a thought.

After a few days of turbulence, he finally returned to the capital, and after parting ways with the prince, he went directly back to the Ruiwang Mansion.

Outside the house, Yu Chizhen was leading all the female dependents to wait outside the door.

Watching the carriage come to him, all of them were full of smiling faces.

It's just that when I saw the Jiao Niang who came out of Yingcheli, the smile on her face seemed to be glued, and she was frozen there.

Didn't she think about it behind closed doors in her room, when did she follow the prince, when did she go out?

It is too bold to dare to pervert the will of Concubine Yi!

Only Wei Chizhen's face was as usual, without a trace of surprise, Ying Ying stepped forward and blessed her body, "Your Highness has worked hard all the way." Then he asked with concern, "Is Your Highness's injury healed?" There were tears in her eyes.

Ying Che looked at her and said lightly: "With Princess Lao worried, this king is much better." ”

Jiao Niang stepped forward and bowed to Yu Chizhen, "Say hello to the princess." ”

"Hurry up. Yu Chizhen wiped away her tears and helped Jiao Niang up, "I've worked hard for you, I've been taking care of Your Highness, and everyone has lost weight." ”

Jiao Niang smiled calmly, "Taking care of His Royal Highness is within the concubine's responsibility, and I can't bear the princess's hard work." ”

Ying Che was a little impatient and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk about it." ”

At that moment, he pulled Jiao Niang into the house, but at this time he heard a fast horse coming, and everyone listened to it, and saw a person wearing an inner service robe riding a horse, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he stopped pulling a horse.

"Minions, see His Royal Highness King Rui. He knelt down and asked for peace.

"What's the matter?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Concubine Yi passed the little flower side concubine into the palace. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a laugh from the crowd, Jiao Niang looked at her coldly, and the man hurriedly lowered his head.

suddenly called herself, in fact, Jiao Niang was also slightly shocked, and even a little weak-hearted.

After all, he was still in the penalty period, but he left the house without permission.

Turning her head, she looked at Ying Che timidly, what should I do? Concubine Yi will definitely punish her severely this time, and maybe she will be grounded for a year even more.

Ying Che looked at her expression funny, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and then took her hand and said, "That is it, this king hasn't been to see Concubine Yi for a long time, so let's go together." ”

Watching Jiao Niang and the prince drive to the palace in a carriage, Yu Chi Zhen's eyes flashed with sadness, and he kept thinking about the moment when Ying Che took Jiao Niang's hand, he had never held her hand, nor had he ever smiled so gently at her.

"Princess. Grandma Sun summoned and interrupted her thoughts, she collected her mood, turned around and said to everyone: "Let's go back first, the prince will come back from the palace in a while, and he will meet everyone." ”

I waited for a morning, waited for a morning, and waited for such a result. From the moment I got out of the carriage, I saw that the prince only had Hua Jianniang in his eyes, and he didn't even look at them much. Everyone is jealous and lost, but what can they do, who makes the family favored.

Even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she could only curse Concubine Yi and punish her severely.

"It's okay this time, Concubine Yi rectifies her, look at how proud she is, even the prince can't protect her this time. ”

"Yes, fortunately, there is still a Concubine Yi above to suppress her, otherwise she would be too proud. ”

"God forbid, let Concubine Yi punish her severely, and it is best never to sleep for His Highness. ”

"Also, let her copy Buddhist scriptures day and night, and her skin was rough, her face was wrinkled, and her fingers were getting thicker and thicker. ”

Some of them cursed as they entered the house, following in silence.

Hua Meiniang walked slowly, side by side with Yu Chizhen, "The princess is really hiding from our sisters, it's so hard." ”

Ying Che has been on this trip for more than a month, at this time the trees in the capital have budded, and behind Yu Chizhen is a low-hanging willow tree, she raised her delicate eyebrows in the distant mountains, and pretended to be stupid: "What does my sister mean by this, my sister really doesn't understand." ”

Hua Meiniang chuckled, "Sister is so smart, how can she not understand it?" She straightened the corners of her sleeves, lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, and suddenly said faintly: "It's just that my sister advises you, don't make wedding dresses for others in the end." After speaking, she smiled, and without waiting for Wei Chizhen to say anything, she walked forward.

Grandma Sun saw that she was so rude, and said in the back: "What's the matter, just now the prince just waited for the princess to speak, and he didn't even look at her, and he should be favored by himself." He also advised Yu Chizhen, "Princess, don't be like her." ”

Yu Chizhen looked at Hua Meiniang's back deeply, and muttered, "Make wedding dresses for others?"
