Chapter Thirty-Six: Counterattack
"The ninth brother and sister look better."
Princess Kechun saw Qingli supporting Cen Mu Ning, and the smile on her lips was slightly warm: "What happened yesterday is really unbearable." This princess neglected to take precautions and affected her nine brothers and sisters. β
"Say hello to the princess." Cen Muning saluted slightly: "The concubine was not far away, and asked the princess to forgive her sins." β
"When the ninth brother and sister say so, they are out of sight." Princess Ke Chun stepped forward to help her, and asked with concern, "Has the death of the injury improved?" β
"Much better." Cen Muning and her both sat down, and there was a small desk with red sandalwood Fulu in the middle.
Qingli served tea and put it on the table, and added two small snacks. "Princess, please slow down."
"Okay." Princess Kechun heard Qingli's dissatisfaction, and only smiled slightly. "I didn't deal with this matter properly until late last night, so I couldn't help disturbing the rest of my ninth brother and sister, so I had to come over this morning."
"The princess has a heart." Cen Muning's expression was quite gentle, but there was a trace of worry in his eyebrows, which was slightly solemn.
"Ugh." Princess Ke Chun sighed softly: "It's just that I pity Mrs. Xilianghou." When he was young, Xilianghou was not considered an official in a high position, but now he has finally come to such a hard time and ended up like this. Over the years, Xilianghou has been fighting abroad, always serving her in-laws in the house, raising children, working all her life, and not ending well. β
"Yes." Cen Mooning nodded in accordance with her words, but she didn't say much.
However, the concubine who harmed her did not survive last night. I heard that it didn't take much effort to send it in, so I chewed my tongue and committed suicide. Princess Kechun's eyes showed a little regret: "It's still one corpse and two lives, which is embarrassing." β
"One corpse, two lives?" Cen Muning couldn't help frowning: "How can this be?" β
Princess Ke Chun shook her head lightly: "Originally, I wanted to wait for her to give birth before executing, but she was angry." And he broke it off on his own. It's a pity to say that the child in the womb is seven months old, and it is still a boy......"
"How do I know it's a boy?" Cen Muning couldn't help but be curious.
She chewed her tongue, and the prefect was hindered by Xilianghou's affection, so she hurriedly invited Lang Zhong over. Lang Zhong said that the fetus might be able to live, so he opened the belly, but unfortunately the child ......"
Cen Muning couldn't help but hang her head.
Seeing her like this, Princess Ke Chun couldn't help but be secretly happy. This concubine and her children all died because of Cen Muning's excessive cleverness. This account will be counted on her head no matter what. How can she live in peace!
"Harm others and hurt yourself." Cen Muning suddenly raised her head, and there was only a bright spot in her eyes. "Presumably, under the Jiuquan of Mrs. Xilianghou, there is this little concubine and the child as a companion, and I will feel a lot of relief."
Princess Ke Chun looked at her bright appearance, as if she didn't feel guilty at all. "Do you think this little concubine deserves to die?"
"Nature." Cen Mooning nodded again and again: "The initiator, it's not a pity to die." It's because God has eyes that everyone can see such a report of the present world, and they only feel happy in their hearts. But often, many people have done evil, but they are still living well, but they have to make people have the mind to be born and happy. β
These words were soft and weak, but they were like needlepoints, and the words pierced Princess Kechun's heart. She wanted to laugh, but the corners of her lips twitched and stiffened.
"I'm sorry, princess, the concubine's words seem to be a bit rude." Cen Mu smiled with a smile: "But the words are not rough, who doesn't look forward to the truth coming to the surface, and the wronged person can finally get what he wants, watching the traitor be removed, everything comes true." β
"The ninth brother and sister are polite." Princess Ke Chun couldn't help but secretly think that this princess and Lao Jiu, the king of Hades, were really a perfect match when they made up a pair.
"The princess forgives her sins, and it's time for the concubine to change her dressing." Cen Mu Ning saw that her angry face turned pale, so she got up with Qingli's hand: "Another day, when I recover, I will go to the princess's mansion to ask for peace." β
"Okay." Princess Ke Chun finally squeezed out a smile and turned to leave.
"The princess's words almost crooked the princess's nose!" Qingli covered her stomach with a smile: "I didn't expect the princess to come to the door to be scolded, not only did she not get a bargain, but she also suffered a loss." β
"At the moment, I don't have the ability to testify against her, but it doesn't mean that I have to be angry with her." Cen Mu Ning clenched her fists: "I don't know if Mrs. Xilianghou is sorry for my mother." She was so impatient to kill people. also involved a pair of poor mother and son, this obstacle was planted by herself, why should she ask me to carry it! If I had been so weak, I would have died under the whip! β
Qingli nodded again and again: "From the first time I saw the princess, I knew that you were a tough person." Otherwise, let alone marrying the master, even the door of this palace may not dare to step through. β
Cen Mu condensed her lips, and her smile overflowed with bitterness: "The situation is forced." Once upon a time, I was not a person who even ants dared to trample to death. β
There was some discomfort in his heart, and Qingli changed the topic: "By the way, the princess also sent a lot of things." Can the princess take a look? β
"You don't have to look at it, but you always have to return the favor." Cen Mu Ning had an idea, and his smile was much more lively: "Just send some jade to ward off evil spirits, and then send a screen of a hundred sons to be blessed." Princess Kechun got married last year, and she must be looking forward to getting Lin'er as soon as possible. Qingli, every gift you pick must have such a beautiful meaning. β
"What the princess said is very true, and the slave and maid understand." Qingli comprehended: "Whoever does the sin, let him suffer it himself." β
Nodding slightly, Cen Muning didn't say anything more, but she felt more and more that Princess Ke Chun must have something to do with her mother's affairs. Otherwise, how could she be so impatient to make such a big deal out of her new garden.
If Princess Kechun participated in the murder of her mother, what about the queen mother behind her......
When Zhuang Chenchen returned home, it was already dark.
Cen Mooning endured the pain, prepared a few side dishes, and asked Qingli to send him to the study.
But he didn't eat anything.
"Princess, this is what the master asked the slave to give you." Qingli smiled and bent his eyebrows: "It turns out that the master doesn't care about you, and when you entered the palace so early in the morning, you went to ask the emperor for medicine." Because this medicine is precious, it is easy to lose the effect of the medicine when it is prepared in advance, so the master has been staring at them for configuration, and he will only get it back when he has it done. β
"What medicine?" Cen Muning glanced at the round bowl with cloisonnΓ© silver inlaid pearls, and couldn't help but be strange.
"Snow cream. It can heal wounds and repair the skin, and for about a year, the scars on the princess's body can fade as much as possible. The smile on Qingli's face was full of joy: "The slave has never seen the master so attentive to others, you are the first one." β
"Yes." Cen Muning does not reject the scars on her body, but every time she sees and touches it, she will strengthen her belief in persevering. "Wait a minute, thank Your Highness for me."
"Didn't the princess go over herself?" Qing Li smiled a little playfully.
"I got up early and ate the closed door. Because of me, I disrupted Princess Kechun's good banquet, and almost damaged the reputation of the palace, presumably His Royal Highness is still angry. Cen Muning said this, and she was not happy to provoke him again. Let's wait. β
Qingli nodded slightly: "It's okay, today happens to be the day to choose a waiter." If the princess had commanded anything else, the slave and maid would have gone over and served first. β
"Okay." Cen Muning didn't want to listen to those bloody things: "You go, I'm tired too." β
The ointment was given to the princess and rested on her pillow. Easy to apply. "Qingli is careful and considerate, and it looks very soft.
In the inner courtyard, Yin Li selected ten maids and sent them to the door of the inner room.
Zhuang Chenchen ate the side dishes prepared by Cen Muning and was in a good mood. When he came out, his expression was slightly calm.
"Master, it's ready." Yin Li retreated to the side as usual, and asked Zhuang Chenchen to choose.
The ten maids all lowered their heads, and no one dared to scratch their heads, they were afraid that they would die quietly in this mansion for the rest of their lives, and they were afraid that if they did something wrong in the face of His Royal Highness King Ruiming, they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow morning at any time.
The yard was stuffy, and there was not a trace of cold. It was really not interesting, and in the face of a group of wooden people, Zhuang Yanchen couldn't help frowning and waving his hand.
"Yes." Yin Li brought everyone down.
One of the maids looked slightly uneasy and wanted to say something, but finally bit his lip and lowered his head.
At this time, Qingli served hot tea with a smile: "Master, drink some tea to moisten your throat." β
"What about her?" Zhuang Chenchen took the teacup and pursed it on his lips.
"Princess Kechun has been here today, and the princess has been talking to her for a while. At this time, it has stopped. Qingli pursed her lips and said, "But the princess has already instructed the slaves and maids to prepare a supper for His Royal Highness to enjoy." β
"Master." Yin left and returned, his eyebrows solemn: "Princess Kechun's mansion sent someone to say that the princess had used tea in the mansion today, and she was unwell when she went back, so she fainted...... Do you want to go and see? β
Zhuang Chenchen's face sank: "It's annoying." β
He didn't start, he had already given the Queen Mother enough face. Unexpectedly, these people have become even worse.
"Ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look at her." Zhuang Chenchen only said this, and went directly to the middle courtyard.
At this time, Cen Muning was struggling to medicate her lower back injury. If the body is twisted, the wound will hurt, but if you don't twist it, you can't see it.
Zhuang Chenchen pushed the door in, and walked directly around the screen to the bed.
Cen Muning didn't have time to get dressed. "Your Highness......"
It was really embarrassing with a capital letter, she pulled the quilt and wrapped herself: "Why are you here at this time, it's not ...... tonight"
"How did you offend Princess Kechun?" Zhuang Chenchen sat generously on the edge of the bed, picked up the ointment and applied it to his fingertips. "Turn around."
"The concubine has never offended the princess." Cen Mooning said indifferently: "It's just that I can't make the princess like it." β
"Princess Kechun fainted because she drank your tea." Zhuang Chenchen smeared the medicine for her, and his tone was full of ridicule: "I have worked so hard and tried to kill you one after another, and I dare to say that I didn't." β
"Then ......" Cen Muning raised her eyebrows slightly: "Will Your Highness believe in a concubine or a princess?" β
Zhuang Chenchen leaned close to her ear, and his voice was slightly deep: "If you and her can only live one, do you hope it will be you or her?" β
"The concubine will definitely accompany His Highness safe and sound." Cen Mu Ning looked up at his eyes and said gently.
