Chapter 34: I Want to Marry You
The man was tall, with a black cloth wrapped around his head, and the same was true on his face, but he was still wearing a retinue's clothes, but he showed a pair of sharp eyes.
He looked at Luo Qi and Luo Shilang, and the killing intent that burst out of his eyes was not hidden.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, when the prime minister came back, the emperor seemed to have no right to speak, and just stared intently at His Highness.
The man bowed to the emperor above the main hall, and then said: "Liu Dezheng, a grass man, was a pawnshop guy a year ago. ”
Wang Zixuan's casual gaze swept over Luo Qi, and Luo Qi's body trembled suddenly.
"Tell me everything you know."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
It turned out that this man was a fellow of the pawnshop, and he was not a fellow. In the early years, the mother of the pawnshop shopkeeper once accepted a wandering little beggar on the street and returned home as her own son.
A year ago, this guy fell in love with the beautiful daughter of a coarse grain store in the west of the city, and the pawnshop shopkeeper who was originally an iron rooster feasted all the families in the west of the city for the first time, just to celebrate his brother's wedding, but the news was heard by Luo Shilang, who went to the west of the city to enjoy himself, on the wedding night, Luo Shilang brought someone to the door, got into the cave room, and knocked the drunken groom unconscious, and the bride was ruined.
The bride was bent on death, and she crashed headfirst on the mahogany stake that the pawnshop shopkeeper used as a wedding gift and fainted.
Seeing that the person was dead, Luo Shilang was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he set fire to a new house. The pawnshop shopkeeper who learned of this hurriedly rushed into the fire to save his brother, but the groom picked up a life, but the bride was buried in the fire and there were no bones.
After telling this story as usual, the man slowly stood up in silence, stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the face covering fell in response, but everyone present gasped.
The man's face was covered with burn scars, and the whole face, or rather the whole body, except for the skin near the eyes, was intact.
"That fire killed the grass people's mother and ruined the grass people's entire life."
"Later, Luo Shilang went to the pawnshop again, he wanted to give a piece of inferior jade to his brother, but his brother didn't accept it, during which there was a quarrel, and his brother scolded Luo Shilang, and within a few days, his father, mother, brother, and all of his brother's family members were ......"
The man's hideous face showed a look of pain, but his eyes were red, and he couldn't say any more.
Wang Zixuan looked at Luo Qi with a look of disgruntle, "General Luo, you also covered up this news personally?" After killing someone's mother, he killed his adoptive parents and brothers! No one in the DPRK has ever heard of such a tragedy in the west of the city! ”
Luo Qi's face turned pale, and he slapped Luo Shilang, who was kneeling beside him, and immediately, his body fell to the ground weakly.
"Heaven is going to kill my Luo family!"
Wang Zixuan looked at the emperor angrily, "Your Majesty, the old minister, please play, since General Liu has made a contribution to this case, he handed over the military power of the Luo family to General Liu's subordinates, and punished this cruel Nine Clans!" ”
The emperor's face was also indignant, and he patted the dragon chair, "Good! Just according to the Prime Minister! ”
Luo Shilang seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly fell to the ground, "Your Majesty! Emperor! The emperor spares his life! Prime Minister spares his life......"
He didn't have time to beg for mercy anymore, and for a while, Luo Qi, Luo Shilang, and the Luo family members present were all taken away by the guards, and they were about to be beheaded in a few days.
Chu Nian rolled his eyes, and Ah Wu was kneeling on the ground crying.
Her heart moved slightly, and she stepped forward to pick up her sister-in-law, and said calmly in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "On the day of the beheading, I will take you sisters and brothers to watch together." ”
Auntie couldn't stop crying, but nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
"That's right, Your Majesty." Wang Zixuan watched Luo Qi's family being dragged down, and then turned his eyes, "This case can be concluded, and there is a strange woman to help, and the minister asks for canonization to show praise." ”
"Who can make Aiqing appreciate it so much?"
Wang Zixuan seemed to smile, "The third lady of the Chu family is talented and intelligent, and she must not bury her talents." ”
Chu Nian lowered his eyes, as if he had accepted Wang Zixuan's praise, but he also seemed to dare not answer.
"According to you, the third lady of the Feng Chu family is the unequaled county lord, and I will give one hundred taels of silver!"
Chu Nian knelt down and bowed, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
At this time, the only person in the entire hall who couldn't see the situation clearly spoke: "County lord hehe! Father! Can the county lord marry back to the palace! ”
Chu Nian's heart trembled, and when he raised his eyes in shock, those narrow eyes were bent into a pair of crescents, and the bottom of his eyes was stubborn, I am afraid that only Chu Nian could see it.
The emperor looked at the stupid prince lovingly, but sighed helplessly, "Wu'er, marrying a relative is not your wishful thinking. ”
The stupid prince flattened his mouth just right, and cried, "No! Lone is the prince! The prime minister told Lonely, he can give Lone what he wants! ”
Wang Zixuan's face turned dark.
"Ming Xiu! If you are disobedient, you will never be able to leave the Zhengyang Hall after tomorrow! ”
"Father, you are lonely! Prime Minister's grandfather! Father is lonely! ”
Chu Nian lowered his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, but Fang Cai's heavy mood was completely disturbed. Is this still the gentleman on the beam who plays cool at night?
Wang Zixuan's face was also heavy, but after a while, he seemed to have figured out something, and his face was a little proud.
"If His Highness likes it, then will the county lord marry His Highness in the future?"
Ming Xiu bit his lower lip matter-of-factly, "When will it be in the future?" ”
"Your Highness, by all means!" At this time, Liu Qi suddenly spoke, and when he spoke, his face turned pale.
Ming Xiu's gaze sank a little, but he covered it up very well, "Where did you come from?" If you want to marry the county lord, do you dare to stop it? ”
Chu Nian frowned and looked at Liu Qi, who was speechless behind him, and his doubts were even deeper.
"This ......"
"If His Royal Highness marries the county lord, the county lord will give birth to a child for His Royal Highness, and when the time comes, the emperor is afraid that he will prefer the children born by the county lord to His Royal Highness."
Shen Du pushed out his wooden wheelchair and bowed respectfully to the top.
Because his leg was injured, he was naturally exempted from kneeling.
Ming Xiu's gaze swept over Liu Qi and Shen Duan in turn, as if he wanted to say something, but Chu Nian looked at him meaningfully, and said at the right time: "When the time comes, there will be nothing His Highness wants." ”
Ming Xiu's eyes condensed slightly, and after a while, he returned to the appearance of a child in distress, "Then forget it." ”
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, only Wang Zixuan, his eyes swept over Liu Qi and Shen Dui, and raised his eyebrows without a trace.
The prince's birthday banquet ended in a farce, the difference is that only one night passed, and a tentacle of the Wang family was completely removed.
Wang Zixuan was inexplicably proud.
After getting this reward, Chu Nian immediately asked his aunt to borrow a sum of money, Mrs. Chen was unwilling to let her use the word borrow, so she forced an IOU into Mrs. Chen's hand, and it didn't take long for a "Jishitang" in the north of the city to open a business with great fanfare, and the miracle doctor in the town was the Wu family Yuanniang who had just taken revenge, and the shopkeeper was the Chu family Sanniang.
Since the prince's birthday banquet, the Luo family was quickly sealed, and more than a dozen members of the Luo family were pushed to the execution ground and beheaded.
The people were glad that a major scourge in the capital was destroyed, and it was rumored that it was because of the three ladies of the Chu family, the current Wushuang county lord learned of the tragedy of the Wu family, specially helped collect evidence, and sent all the witnesses to the emperor, which presented the Luo family's crimes one by one in front of the court.
Everyone knows that the three ladies of the Chu family are wise and brave, and they love Chu Nian even more. It is precisely because of these rumors that as soon as Jishitang opened, it became extremely popular, and even people from the east and west of the city came to Jishitang to see a doctor.
Auntie also lived up to expectations, as long as it was not a major disease, not to mention the diagnosis fee, and there was never a time when she missed.
Jishitang was overcrowded, and the principal invested by Chu Nian was quickly earned, and when he returned it to Mrs. Chen, he also gave some more interest, which made the Chen family take aback.
But the tree was very popular, so he didn't talk about it for the time being, but Chu Nian suddenly contracted a headache, and even Ah Niang couldn't see anything.
When it was like night, it was Chu Nian's most unbearable headache, and she forced the pain to drive Mei Xiang out, and a figure fell on the beam of the house on her hind feet.
The Ming Xiu in front of Chu Nian was almost ghosted, but he all had a playful smile on his lips.
"If Your Highness comes to see my jokes, you can leave early."
Ming Xiu stood in front of the couch, squinting at her pale face, but still had no intention of leaving.
"Wang Zixuan is looking for you soon, how can you deal with the old fox like this?"
Chu Nian's teeth were about to crush, "Why don't you go?" ”
Ming Xiu pouted, "You have created your own sins, bear them yourself." ”
Cruel! White-eyed wolf! Poisonous tongue! Pull the ladder up behind you!
After all, he was a literati, and Chu Nian couldn't scold the dirty words anyway, so he had to search for the most simple and rude vulgar words in his mind and secretly scolded Ming Xiu in his heart, while driving him away.
"If Your Highness is here to talk about this, please go back, I'm afraid the queen will be worried when it's late."
Chu Nian forced out a stiff smile with a pale little face, "After all, His Highness plays a fool quite alike, and the little girl almost thinks that His Highness is really stupid." ”
Ming Xiu frowned, he didn't expect that he wanted to do something to her on a whim, so he asked her to take it out as a handle.
Pursing his lips, Ming Xiu stretched out his fair right hand, "The Western Regions tribute, the medicine for headaches, I don't know if it's easy to use or not." ”
Chu Nian was so painful that he couldn't straighten up, and when he moved slightly, it was like a rhinoceros was going on a rampage in his brain.
Suddenly, his body fell into an arms with a bit of coolness, Chu Nian's chin was violently broken open by a big hand, and then, something cool melted in his mouth, with a good smell of peach blossoms.
Chu Nian closed his eyes, and the coolness swam along the meridians, and finally exploded in Chu Nian's aching head, and the pain suddenly dissipated a lot.
She was finally able to catch her breath and looked up slightly, and the man was looking down at her, worry flashing in his eyes.
Regaining some strength, Chu Nian pushed away the figure that was holding him.
"Thank Your Highness for your medicine, the little girl is much better."
Ming Xiu landed and looked back, but he still looked at Chu Nian playfully, "It's better to let Gu hug you for a while longer, and you will get better faster." ”
Chu Nian smashed his fist at him with all his might, but he pounced.
"It's better for the patient to take care of his body, don't move his hands and feet."
Hands-on? Chu Nian almost jumped off the bed, who was doing it? But he himself pulled her into his arms! She's the one who suffers!
"Forget it, I won't be angry with you today, but since your head doesn't hurt anymore, the account between Lone and you has to be settled."
