Chapter 577: Captured
When the princess of the county was able to get up, she brought all the people and horses early in the morning to go back to Prince Zhuang's mansion to find Jiang and Bai Lan to settle accounts, but was stopped by King Zhuang Jun, who had not returned to the inner courtyard for a long time.
The princess of the county exploded her hair as if she had been stepped on her tail, and immediately quarreled with the king of Zhuang Jun. She had been lying on the bed for so long, and she hadn't seen King Zhuang come to see her and give her a word of comfort, and when she was going to find that woman, he came forward to defend it. Rao is the princess of the county, who is honest like a cat in front of King Zhuang on weekdays, can't bear this anger.
King Zhuang Jun didn't want to entangle with her, so he only scolded her in disgust: "Ignorant shrew! "He forcefully asked people to ground the princess of the county.
The princess of the county finally moved out of Prince Zhuang's mansion and became the rightful hostess of the princess of the county, but she was imprisoned again within a few days, and this time there was no Yao Yuerong to help her.
So the people in Prince Zhuang's mansion also knew later that the princess of the county had a serious illness after spraining her waist, and she was recuperating in the mansion and did not see any outsiders. The inner house in the county king's mansion is temporarily taken care of by a well-informed favorite concubine of the county prince.
Prince Zhuang's mansion sent someone to send some food, medicinal herbs or something to visit the princess of the county, and then it was as if nothing had happened.
As a result, under the Jiang family's drastic and ruthless rectification, the power in Prince Zhuang's mansion became unprecedentedly simple, and all the courtyards in the mansion no longer had servants who ate inside and out, and were in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
Although Jiang's gentle and indisputable image has been replaced by an iron fist and ruthlessness, I have to say that the atmosphere in Prince Zhuang's mansion is much better. Fortunately, the Jiang family also has clear rewards and punishments, so even if he is a villain, he does not cause too much turmoil. After all, now in the entire Zhuang Prince's Mansion, except for the old princess who is not a director, it is the Jiang family's highest status.
With the support of the Jiang family outside, Sanniang's life is getting more and more moist day by day, and she accidentally gained a few pounds, and her abdomen gradually has a bulging arc.
All in all. Sanniang's life after pregnancy is still comfortable.
But compared to Sanniang. The life of another pregnant woman is not so peaceful, so sometimes, people have to accept their fate, and it is useless to flutter.
Since the last time Erniang asked someone to quietly contact the county lord of Huilan, she has been in a good mood and is waiting for news in the house. Helplessly, after waiting for the two of them, there was no news of Sanniang's illness in Prince Zhuang's mansion, but the county lord of Huilan was sent out to recuperate because of his poor health. But Sanniang came out with the news of her pregnancy.
After hearing the news, Erniang was stunned for a long time, and finally didn't hold back her temper, and hit the personal girl next to her to get angry. This was the way she used to vent when she was a teenager. I have been cultivating myself for several years, because my temperament became more and more irritable after I got pregnant, and my original habits were exposed.
However, she has a child in her belly and a precious body, so no one in the Shen family dares to talk about her.
Erniang didn't hurt Sanniang, so she was naturally unwilling. This kind of unwillingness is like a small claw. From time to time, I have to jump out and scratch her, which makes her feel bad and unbearable.
It's not that she hasn't thought of other ways to do it to Sanniang, but Prince Zhuang's Mansion is worthy of being the Prince's Mansion, and she has tried many things without success.
But I hope that I will not be mean to those who are prepared, in the days when Erniang was in a violent mood and scratched her heart, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, was very worried about her, thinking that she was fascinated by some evil thing, so she took her to a Taoist temple that was said to be very effective.
Although Erniang knew that her own mind had nothing to do with those evils. However, she didn't dare to refuse Mrs. Shen's kindness. The fact that she can live comfortably in the Shen family is inseparable from Mrs. Shen's care for her.
So Erniang followed her mother-in-law, this Taoist temple is often visited by the wives of those big families in the capital, and the pilgrims are not bad.
Originally, she thought it was just a dispensable outing, until she was resting in the room arranged for her in the Taoist temple, and saw the person who came to bring her tea.
"You ......" Erniang was first surprised, then alert, she looked around and found that the maids had been sent out by her just now. There was only one uninvited young nun in front of him.
"Why are you here?" Erniang took a deep breath. Steady his mind and said coldly. Her posture was somewhat defensive.
The person who came in sighed lightly and put down the tea tray in her hand, she could see Erniang's defense, so she didn't approach, just said in place: "Mrs. Shen, I have no malicious intentions, you don't have to worry." ”
Erniang glanced at her and sneered: "I don't know if you have malicious intentions, but ...... Hongyu, now there are rebellions in southern Xinjiang everywhere outside, as long as I open my mouth to shout, you can only be arrested. ”
The young nun in front of her, with an ordinary face and a few obvious freckles on her face, was the big girl Hongyu beside her back then.
Hongyu smiled when she heard this: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the second lady is still so fast-talking." ”
Erniang's mood had stabilized, she walked to the main seat in the center of the room and sat down, raised her chin slightly, looked at Hongyu a little arrogantly, and said, "What are you looking for me for?" Go ahead. It's just a matter of reminiscing about the past, I have nothing to continue with you. ”
Hongyu didn't speak immediately when she heard this, but frowned slightly, a little hesitant.
Her reaction made Erniang happy, although Hongyu was her maid before, but when there was no one else, her attitude towards her was a little arrogant, but she relied on her identity as an envoy sent by Southern Xinjiang, and she had something to ask for the power of Southern Xinjiang back then. Now that Hongyu looks like this, it is obvious that she is in trouble and wants to come to her for help.
Erniang has always been an arrogant person, and what she hates most in this life is to be subservient to others, and now when she sees the expression of this woman who used to show off her power in front of her, her heart is naturally very useful.
Sure enough, Hongyu then said: "I ventured out today because I have something to ask Mrs. Shen. ”
Erniang raised her eyelids and glanced at Hongyu, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, but she didn't say anything.
Hongyu continued: "Lord Li and a few other Dharma protectors were arrested by your Dog Emperor a while ago, and Master Jing'an and I escaped for the time being. Although there are not so many guards outside, we still dare not take it lightly. ”
When Erniang heard this, she thought for a while: "Your holy daughter is also here this time?" ”
Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about how to answer, but Erniang smiled: "You are here to ask me for help today, right?" If you don't even tell me the truth, why should I help you? ”
Hongyu was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Yes, the holy maiden is also there." ”
Erniang glanced at Hongyu: "I remember that you have a lot of help in Beijing. How can you find me, a woman in the house, now? That's a surprise. ”
Hongyu smiled bitterly, "The situation outside is grim. Although we were able to hide for the time being, we did not dare to contact those who were in need of us. The holy woman said that you Central Plains people are cunning, especially the Dog Emperor, maybe those people's mansions have long been targeted at this time. "In fact, they haven't had any contact with anyone in the court since that one a year ago.
This time, they relied on their own channels in the capital to hide. To put it bluntly, those people are just partners in cooperation, and they may also be betrayed because of the combination of interests. In fact, no one can rest assured. So only they know where they are hiding.
"Our saint was injured last time. After that, he fell ill again, and now he is being taken care of by Master Jing'an. We don't dare to look at the doctors in the capital, so we have to leave the capital as soon as possible with the holy woman. "For some reasons, people in southern Xinjiang have large and small poisons in their bodies, and they are afraid of being diagnosed, so they naturally dare not look for someone to see a doctor.
Erniang looked at Hongyu and smiled slightly: "So you came to beg me to help you leave Beijing this time?" ”
Hongyu didn't say a word, bowed her head and knelt in front of Erniang: "Please ask Mrs. Shen to look at the previous relationship." Help us this time. "Lord Li was arrested, the saint was seriously ill, and now they are leaderless.
Erniang sat on the top, and after seeing enough of Hongyu's low posture, she finally said slowly: "But...... Why should I help you? The little incense you mentioned, I thought it was completely cut off the last time you tried to kill me. ”
Hongyu thought for a while, looked up and said, "As long as you help us rescue the Holy Maiden, Hongyu's life is yours." I'm willing to do anything for you. ”
Erniang's eyes flashed when she heard this. Silence.
Hongyu observed the words and looks, knowing that there might be a drama, and was happy in her heart: "No matter what is difficult for Mrs. Shen, you might as well say it." Hongyu will help his wife do it no matter whether he does it or not, and the horizontal and vertical is just a cheap life. ”
Erniang stood up, slowly walked down the aisle Hongyu reluctantly, and looked at her for a while: "Is this true?" ”
Hongyu immediately said: "Naturally, it is true, as long as the holy woman is safe and sound, Hongyu can swear allegiance to Madame." ”
Erniang knows. They swear differently. They in the south of Xinjiang believe in their gods and believe in some strange powers. Won't break your oath easily.
Erniang knew that before the Chinese New Year, the remnants of southern Xinjiang were being caught everywhere, but this time she was much more relieved, and she didn't hear any more rumors. These Miao Jiang people were frightened, and because there was a holy woman, they didn't dare to act rashly, so they were a little suspicious. According to her identity, it is easy to secretly take someone out of Beijing.
And she really needs someone to be the knife in her hand now.
She felt that the tragedy of her life was dragged down by her background, and because of the existence of Sanniang.
The suffering she suffered before she got married was naturally because of her background, but she refused to succumb to fate, so she finally married into the queen's maiden family through her own efforts and married an outstanding man like Shen Wei.
Originally, her life should have passed happily as she expected, but she didn't want to come out with Sanniang, the stone that stood in the way.
Because of Sanniang, his husband didn't want to look at her more, and he didn't even want to have sex with her, so she couldn't get pregnant. In the end, because she was calculated by someone because of her son, her life was ruined.
This is also the reason why her temperament has become more and more crazy since she became pregnant, because she knows that her life has been ruined. What man in this world would truly accept a woman who is innocent and pregnant with a seed of evil that came from nowhere?
So the tragedies in the second half of her life were all caused by Sanniang's slut. Even if she tries her best, she has to make Sanniang die a bad death.
So Erniang's voice with some inexplicable pleasure and weirdness sounded in the room: "Okay, I'll help you." And you, after the deed is done, you want to help me kill someone, I don't care what method you use, even if it is to pay for your own life, I want that person to die! ”
Hongyu looked up at Erniang in some surprise when she heard this, and lowered her head slightly when she saw the cold gaze in her eyes: "After the holy girl leaves Beijing, Hongyu will do it for you." ”
Erniang smiled, she felt that her mood was inexplicably better.
Next, the two discussed. Finally, the plan was decided. Three days later, Erniang arranged for someone to come and pick up people. and then smuggle people out.
It's just that they never dreamed that Erniang's side had already been monitored by Xuan Shao. So as soon as Ruby appeared, she was discovered.
The big fish that has been waiting for a long time is finally about to emerge from the water.
Xuan Shao came back in the evening, and when only the husband and wife were together, Xuan Shao told Sanniang about the situation outside.
Sanniang heard this. Finally breathed a sigh of relief. The problem in southern Xinjiang has been solved, and Erniang's problem has to be understood, but she originally thought that there would be another setback, thinking that she would plan well after the child in her belly was born. I didn't want Erniang to come up this time and hit the muzzle.
But it's always a good thing to save your own effort.
"Why does the emperor care so much about these people in southern Xinjiang?" Sanniang thought for a while and asked.
This is also what she has always been a little puzzled about, it stands to reason that these people in southern Xinjiang are just equivalent to some radical elements with extreme means, why does the emperor seem to be very suspicious of them. It took so much effort to catch people.
As far as she knows, the situation in southern Xinjiang is still stable, and the female leader who was favored by the imperial court has continued to increase her reputation in southern Xinjiang after several years of management and the support of the imperial court. Even more prestigious than the legendary saintess of southern Xinjiang.
After all, people are all comfortable, a leader who brings them a stable life and a saint who brings them disasters and instability, it is obvious who the ordinary people of southern Xinjiang will choose in the end.
Therefore, Sanniang didn't understand why the emperor still attached so much importance to the remnants of southern Xinjiang who were like lost dogs.
Originally, she didn't inquire because she was afraid of involving the secrets of the royal family. But now that she thinks about it, if Xuan Shao knew, she wouldn't be able to be alone, so she asked.
Xuan Shao thought for a while and said: "The branch of He Maoqing, the saint of Southern Xinjiang, is the descendant left by the king of Southern Xinjiang back then, and the grandfather of the current leader of Southern Xinjiang, He Yuexiu, and the king of Southern Xinjiang were originally in the same line, but after all, they are still partial. There are some witchcraft and Gu arts in southern Xinjiang that are only passed on to descendants. ”
"Is it related to witchcraft and Gu magic in southern Xinjiang?" Sanniang frowned, she didn't believe in this very much, she thought it was superstition.
Xuan Shao nodded: "Back then, the emperor killed all the men in southern Xinjiang. It is said that the leader of Southern Xinjiang gave the emperor a Gu spell before he died. ”
Sanniang was a little curious when she heard this: "What kind of Gu technique?" ”
Xuan Shao paused: "You know it too." Today's emperor is still empty under his knees. At that time, the leader of southern Xinjiang used his own blood as a guide and laid a Gu on the emperor. curse him to cut off his children and grandchildren. ”
Sanniang was stunned: "You all believe this?" ”
Xuan Shao glanced at Sanniang: "Originally, the emperor and the emperor didn't believe it, and the emperor was also in good health. But in recent years...... The emperor believed it. ”
Sanniang was silent, she thought that she shouldn't look at this matter with modern eyes, after all, there are many things in this world that science can't explain. Take the emperor as an example, several children were born, but none of them grew up healthy. I am afraid that if I encounter this kind of thing, I will be suspicious.
"So the emperor wants to find the saint of southern Xinjiang who has been hiding in the shadows, but this person Shenlong sees the head and the tail and rarely shows up. Although I have dealt with Nanjiang a lot, I have never seen her true face. ”
Sanniang didn't speak, she didn't expect that the emperor was afraid of the southern Xinjiang forces for this reason. However, for an emperor, such a thing as cutting off his children and grandchildren is related to the country's social affairs, so he naturally does not dare to be sloppy.
Although there are still two palace concubines in the palace who are pregnant, no one dares to guarantee whether the child can be born smoothly, and even if it is born successfully, whether it can grow up safely is still variable.
Sanniang subconsciously hugged Xuan Shao's waist while thinking, and her subordinates also gently stroked his skin, knowing that Xuan Shao's kiss fell, she changed her thoughts back.
"Hmm-" In order not to press her, Xuan Shao just gently broke her head.
After a kiss, Sanniang gasped and looked up, and saw Xuan Shao looking down at her. Sanniang blinked her eyes and leaned into Xuan Shao's ear: "Xianggong, do you want to ......?"
Xuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned a little weirdly red, and he reached out and broke Sanniang's head back: "Sleep." ”
Sanniang was holding the quilt on the side and laughing and trembling.
After the lights were turned off, Sanniang moved over and exhaled softly in Xuan Shao's ear: "Xianggong, let me help you?" ”
Xuan Shao was silent, closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.
"Xianggong?" Sanniang couldn't help but laugh. Gently pull the corners of Xuan Shao's clothes.
Xuan Shao simply turned his back.
Sanniang does not forgive. hugged the person from behind him and continued to tease: "Xianggong, do you want to-"
Sanniang's cheek was against his back, so she could hear his heartbeat, and she felt that his heartbeat was a little fast.
Sanniang was originally just having fun and wanted to tease Xuan Shao. It doesn't mean anything else. Seeing that he didn't care, he raised his body slightly and wanted to see his face, but when he didn't want to prop up his hands, he touched a place that shouldn't have been touched, and then Sanniang found out. Someone who deliberately pretends to sleep with a cold face is actually shamefully hard underneath.
Thereupon......
After a while, there was this strange conversation.
Xuan Shao couldn't bear it: "Ah Ke-"
"Hmm."
"Sleep!"
"Hmm."
Gasp - "What do you do?" The tone was helpless.
"Hmm."
“……”
I couldn't help but snort.
"Hmm-"
The dividing line that passed overnight************************
Three days later, an inconspicuous carriage entered the temple through the back door. After half a pillar of incense, he drove out of the Taoist temple again.
The carriage circled the outer city several times before heading for the city gates. Although the carriage was inconspicuous, it was hung with the emblem of the Shen family when it was about to reach the city gate. So the guards at the gates of the city only symbolically checked it and let it go.
It seems to have been too smooth.
Sitting in the carriage and dressed as a rough mother-in-law, the Jing'an Master couldn't help frowning. I felt a little uneasy. She glanced at the bottom of the carriage, closed her eyes, took out a string of Buddhist beads in her sleeve, and recited the sutra softly.
Her state of mind has calmed down a lot now, and the monstrous hatred she had at the beginning seems to have subsided. When she heard the news of the Wang family just now, she was stunned for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
In this life, she herself has gone through purgatory, but her children and grandchildren have a good future. And the one who harmed her is not born like this now. So she felt a little tired.
Originally, she planned to really take refuge in Buddhism. No more questions about the things of the world. Now she is becoming more and more timid, and she is afraid that her identity will bring disaster to them. For the first time in decades, she regretted what she had done. People always become timid after suddenly getting a lot.
However, the southern Xinjiang side has helped her a lot over the years, and when the saint asked her to enter Beijing with them for the last time, she still had no way to refuse.
Now that she saves the saint this time, she should be regarded as repaying her for the help she has given her all these years. When the saint's wounds were healed, it was time for her to leave.
She would find a nunnery to meditate and spend the rest of her life praying for the well-being of her children and grandchildren, hoping that they would be safe and well.
Thinking so, Master Jing'an's face was calm.
At this time. The carriage suddenly jolted. Then it stopped.
Master Jing'an tucked the Buddhist beads in his hand into his sleeve before he opened his eyes. And he saw that the curtain of the carriage had been lifted.
This is already outside the city, and there is a loess road on the ground, and there are only a few sparse willows on the side of the road. Outside the carriage were several guards in soft armor.
After that, a man in regular clothes with a very handsome appearance but a cold and indifferent face rode over. He looked at the guard who took the lead.
The guards stepped forward to invite out the Jing'an Master who was sitting inside, and the driver who was driving the car had already fallen on the side of the road.
When Master Jing'an came out, he said with a displeased face, "Who are you?" This is the carriage of the Shen family to Zhuangzi, you dare to stop it! She was dressed as a woman in the inner courtyard, and at this time her voice was full of vigour, and her momentum was very strong.
"The Shen family?" The handsome man on the horse raised his eyebrows playfully when he heard this.
Master Jing'an glanced at the man, and somehow couldn't speak.
"My lord, the carriage is empty."
