Chapter 126: The Great Ceremony Begins
"Are those people in your Zhao family trying to kill me? If this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, do you know what the consequences will be!? Su Lun's face was hideous, and when his hand was raised high, about to fall on Zhao's face again, the door was pushed open with a "bang".
Su Muge walked in with a calm face. "Do you think the emperor doesn't know yet?"
Su Lun glared at Su Muge. "What did you say?"
After Su Lun asked the Zhao family to send the Zhao family away last night, Su Muge always felt that the matter was not over so quickly, so he asked Xinlan to send a message to Cheng Ran and asked him to pay attention to the news outside.
"Father hasn't figured it out yet, they stopped Princess Linghua early this morning, and the carriage was on the way to the palace at that time, do you think this matter can be hidden from the emperor?"
"What are you talking about, they actually went to stop Princess Linghua!" Su Lun looked shocked, he couldn't have imagined that those hillbillies had the courage to do such a thing.
"The princess's luan can be stopped wherever he wants, doesn't my father understand that they are just being used."
Su Muge's words made Su Lun gradually calm down, the princess was surrounded by guards, not to mention that she was stopped by someone, but someone who was slightly suspicious approached was killed.
"It seems that the marriage given by the emperor has hindered the eyes of many people, my father doesn't have to worry, the emperor will not ask about this matter before the sacrifice, after the sacrifice, how to give the emperor a satisfactory answer, it depends on what the father does."
After listening to Cheng Ran tell what happened, Su Muge must have been a ghost behind this incident, and the matter was exposed on the street, and there was only a ghost in Xia Hourui's ears.
If Xiahou Rui really wants to blame, where can Su Lun still appear in the mansion safely at this time.
She figured it out, Xiahou Rui gave her and Xiahou Kun a marriage, there must be his purpose, in this case, he will definitely not let people easily ruin this marriage, if no one stabs him in this matter, he will definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb.
However, this also made Su Muge see clearly how difficult it was for her to push off this marriage.
Su Lun is not stupid, how can he not understand what Su Muge means.
Su Muge stepped forward and helped Zhao up from the ground. "Mother, are you okay?"
Zhao shook his head with red eyes.
"Master, the concubine has never made any marriage for Mu Mu privately, and I also ask the master to know it."
Su Lun's face sank again, and he glared at her coldly. "What is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, it really can't be put on the table! In the future, let Aunt Hai follow you as a housekeeper, lest you make any trouble in the future! After saying that, Su Lun shook his sleeves and left.
Su Muge's face was cold, a scumbag was a scumbag, but fortunately, she had never had the slightest hope for him.
Su Muge helped the Zhao family back to the Peach Blossom Courtyard, even though she is now in charge of the house's affairs, she still lives in the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
"Go get some hot water."
"Yes."
After a while, Meihua walked in with hot water.
Su Muge personally twisted the handkerchief and wiped the tears on Zhao's face.
"What are you going to do?" Su Lun had only been in Aunt Hai's house for a few days, and she had asked her to follow the Zhao family's housekeeper, and if it weren't for the credit of her grandmother, she wouldn't believe it.
"What?" The Zhao family was still thinking about the Zhao family, and looked at Su Muge ignorantly.
Su Muge sighed helplessly and pushed the hot tea in front of Zhao. "Mother, my brother is still young, do you understand what I mean?"
She has never been an indisputable character, some things, in her own hands, are her most fundamental guarantee when necessary, especially when Su Lun is unreliable.
Only then did Zhao react, Su Muge was talking about the housekeeper.
"But your father himself asked her to come...... How can I ......"
Su Muge lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see the emotion in her eyes. "Since she is willing to be a concubine, let her understand the duty of a concubine."
"The eldest lady is right, don't forget, madam, the eldest lady will marry into the royal family in the future." Mama Lu spoke at the right time.
On the premise of not knowing that Su Muge didn't want to marry Xiahou Kun, there was no problem with her words.
In the future, Su Muge will marry into the royal family, if her mother can't even suppress a concubine, it will not only be the Zhao family herself, but Su Muge will also become a laughing stock.
"Miss, the lord of Ceylon sent someone to say that there is something to give to the eldest lady."
Su Muge's eyes were lowered with a touch of coldness. "Bring people to the front room."
"Yes."
"Mother, you rest for a while, and my daughter will go and have a look."
Zhao nodded. "Go ahead."
When Su Muge walked into the front hall, a woman dressed as a maid stood in the house, this woman was the person who came to Su Mansion with the lord of Ceylon last time, and she hadn't forgotten that stiff face.
"Miss Su is fine."
Su Muge sneered and sat down on the chair. "What? The king of Dingxi asked you to come to see if I was killed by your county lord? ”
The girl's face remained unchanged, and she took out a palm-sized box from her body.
"The prince only found out about that matter after the fact, and he has severely punished the county lord, and asked Miss Su to calm his anger."
"When the mouth is opened and closed, whatever the prince says is what it is."
Hearing this, the maid walked up to Su Muge and opened the box in her hand.
"Ahh
Yueru, who was standing behind Su Muge, looked at it and exhaled in fright.
The maid's face was cold, and she put the wooden box on the table. "This is the prince's apology to Miss Su."
Su Muge raised her eyebrows, in the small wooden box was a bloody finger, and there was a jade ring on the finger, if she remembered correctly, the jade ring had been worn on her left ring finger since she first met the Lord of Ceylon.
"What does the prince want?" If you want her to go to Xiahou Luo for a follow-up consultation, she will only let her go to the palace.
"The eldest prince really can't adapt to the water and soil here in the capital, and he has been a little unwell recently, and the prince plans to send the eldest prince back to the fiefdom, so how will the eldest prince be treated next, and I hope that Miss Su can write it down, and the prince is grateful."
"The prince is going to send your eldest prince back to the fiefdom?" That's a big way to get out of trouble.
"Yes." As she spoke, she pulled out a stack of silver tickets from her body and placed them on the table. "This is a thank you gift from the prince to Miss Su."
Su Muge looked at the stack of silver tickets, the denomination of the top one was two hundred taels, and this stack was thousands of taels to say the least.
Xiahou Lu's leg is recovering well, and she can do rehabilitation next, just for these silvers, she doesn't mind writing down the content needed for rehabilitation, as for whether she can do her best, it has nothing to do with her.
"Xinlan, pen, ink, paper, inkstone."
"Yes."
Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were sent.
"I'll read, you write."
The maid nodded.
"First of all, the first step is ......"
Two quarters of an hour later, several sheets of paper were filled to the brim.
"If you follow the steps described above, you won't have a problem."
The maid dried the paper and put it away carefully. "There's really Miss Laosu, farewell."
After the maid left, Yueru looked at the small wooden box with a somewhat pale face. "Big, Miss, this, what to do with this?"
Su Muge glanced at the wooden box. "Hey the dogs."
Inside the palace.
After returning to the palace, the maid immediately reported the situation to King Dingxi.
King Dingxi stood in the middle of the room with his hands in his hands, and nodded when he heard the words.
"Are you all ready?"
"Back to the prince, everything is ready."
"Send people away immediately."
"Yes."
"Get out of here, if anyone dares to stop this son, this son will break him into thousands of pieces!"
King Dingxi's brows sank, and when he walked out of the house, he saw Xiahou Lu pushing a wheelchair over here.
"What is this doing?!"
As soon as the king of Dingxi arrived, the guards stopped to salute.
"Lord, it's the eldest prince who ......"
King Dingxi waved his hand, and the guards all retreated, leaving only father and son in the courtyard.
"What are you messing with?"
"I'm not going back to the fiefdom!" Xiahou Luo looked at King Dingxi and gritted his teeth.
"Nonsense! It's not something you can do whatever you want. ”
"Father, you think I'm a cripple, and staying here is in your way!" Xiahou Lu almost broke the handle with both hands.
King Dingxi turned away and looked at him no more. "Since you know, then get out of me obediently, come on, take the eldest prince down, what to do, don't let this king say it again."
"Yes."
Xiahou Lu stared at the back of King Dingxi with red eyes, but he did not resist again.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The sound of high-fives sounded in the courtyard, which was particularly harsh.
The black figure came out of the corner and looked at King Dingxi with a smile.
"The drama of the prince's deep love for his son is really moving."
King Dingxi glared at him coldly.
"Do what you have to do!"
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
……
The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, civil and military officials must bring their families to participate, symbolizing the reverence of the Chu State for the gods.
Before dawn, Su Muge was dug out of the quilt by Yueru.
"What are you going to do so early?" Su Muge researched new drugs at night and slept late, and he was still a little confused at this time.
"Miss, today is a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky, don't be late!"
Worship to the Heavens......
Su Muge really forgot about it......
Yueru and the others finished dressing her up in Su Muge's half-confused state, and everything was done when they came to the gate of Su Mansion when the sky was not bright, but there were already many pedestrians on the street, and everyone went to watch the ceremony of sacrificing the sky, even if they couldn't see it, they had to look at it from afar, this was a rare event in Chu for a hundred years!
"It's getting late, let's get in the car."
Su Lun got into the carriage first, and Mrs. Su was already in the carriage.
Su Muge helped Zhao to the last carriage.
The carriage moved very slowly down the street, and the closer it got to the altar, the more crowded it became, and it was almost crowded with people before dawn.
If it weren't for the Praetorian Guards opening the way in front, the carriage wouldn't have been able to move at all.
"I wonder what the gods will do?" Yueru craned her neck expectantly and looked in the direction of the altar.
Su Muge leaned into the car, his eyes narrowed tiredly. "I'll find out soon."
