Chapter Forty-Nine: Recovering the Daughter's Body
Gongzi Cheng turned his head to see this scene, seeing the hot soup pouring on Ye Ziyi's head and face, he couldn't help but open his eyes, his body moved slightly, seeing that Ye Ziyi was scalded but did not resist, he finally flashed a trace of pity in his eyes, turned his head and sat upright, closed his eyes slightly, his fists were tightly clenched in his sleeves, and his beady pink lips were almost pursed.
Mrs. Zhen taught Ye Ziyi a lesson, raised her chin and handed the tea bowl in her hand to the side, and the palace maid who followed Mrs. Zhen took it with both hands and stood aside.
"Hmph, it's disgusting!" Mrs. Zhen flicked her sleeves, walked back to her original position, sat elegantly on the cushion, and said to her son with a cold face. "Ah Cheng, you and my aunt and nephew have been dependent on each other since childhood, I have always regarded you as my own, and now that this is happening, I can't let go of it, this little child, I can't stay, do you do it yourself to get rid of him, or do your aunt get rid of him for you?"
"Auntie, I am not friends with him, why do I want to take his life?" Gongzicheng's tone was a little anxious, and Mrs. Zhen on the other end already sneered.
"Isn't it a broken sleeve?Ah Cheng, your aunt has been by your side since you were a child, how do you value a person, can't I really see it?" Mrs. Zhen said, glancing at Ye Ziyi, who was kneeling on the ground. "This man has confused your mind, if you keep him, you will one day fall into his way and become a waste!"
"Why is my aunt so arbitrary?" Gongzi Cheng faintly had an angry face, which made Mrs. Zhen sneer.
"Oh, Ah Cheng, my aunt is in the palace, I have seen too many such dramas, and I have seen too many such people, he clings to you and confuses you, because you are Gongzicheng, and you are a general who is valued by this great Liang and Daqi, saint, this person is for his own selfish desires, corrupting your virtue, shouldn't he be killed?" Mrs. Zhen said, and said coldly to the palace maid standing on the side. "Fetch the hemp rope!"
Hemp rope?
Ye Ziyi fell to the ground and widened her eyes suddenly, this lady Zhen ...... Didn't you want to strangle her with hemp rope?
Thinking of this, Ye Ziyi couldn't help but look at Gongzicheng, this guy won't let her leave alive or dead, and now his aunt is going to kill her, does he still want her to endure it?
"Wait. Gongzi Cheng raised his hand and raised it gently, stopped the palace maid who was going to get the hemp rope, and turned his head to the maid in the hall and commanded. "Fetch the women's clothes. ”
"Ah Cheng, what are you doing?" Mrs. Zhen couldn't help but be even more angry when she saw Gongzi Cheng like this, she shook her finger and pointed at Ye Ziyi and said angrily. "Do you think that if you dress him in women's clothes, she is a woman?"
"Ah Ye is my concubine. Gongzi Cheng said and instructed Ye Ziyi. "Jing Ji, let's go wash and change clothes, and then come to the ceremony. ”
Ye Ziyi, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffened, he really knew it a long time ago, he knew everything, so he didn't let her go, let her suffer by his side, for the sake of "Jing Gong's Secrets", for the treasure map, he hid it so well.
Ye Ziyi sneered silently, enduring the pain on her head and body, she said in a trembling voice. "Yes. ”
Mrs. Zhen watched suspiciously as Ye Ziyi walked out of the dormitory and stared at Gongzi Chengdao. "Ah Cheng, when did you take a concubine? Why do you want her to wear men's clothes......?
"She was originally my noble concubine Jing Ji, but she was a little stubborn, and now that my aunt has also punished her, I will spare her for the death penalty. Gongzi Cheng said, and added a bowl of tea for Mrs. Zhen. "She is related to "Jing Gong's Secrets", and her aunt still left her alive. ”
"Jing Gong's Secrets"? Jing Ji ...... Could it be that she is a descendant of the Jing family?" Seeing Gongzicheng nodding, Mrs. Zhen's face softened, and she complained. "You kid is really, why don't you talk to me? If I kill her in a fit of rage, wouldn't it be troublesome if I don't have a secret?"
"I've got my own measure. Gongzicheng returned to his usual cold appearance, which made Mrs. Zhen very happy.
"It's good that you know. I'll just say, how can my Ah Cheng be like those useless gentlemen, who only know how to indulge in pleasures and completely disregard decency. Mrs. Zhen smiled slightly, she was really charming and charming.
Ah Cheng remembered his aunt's teachings. Gongzi Cheng lowered his head slightly, and there was no trace of temperature in his black jade-like eyes.
"That's it, you must not forget how your mother died in the hands of that Qi queen, listen to your aunt's words, marry the nineteenth princess well, and wait for the prince to do a few more wrong things, my aunt will use the power of the relatives over there to let you firmly ascend to the throne of the prince!
Ah Cheng remembers, it's just this marriage, let's take care of it when we have to keep it secret. Gongzi Cheng said this, which seemed to be very in line with Mrs. Zhen's wishes, she nodded with a smile, glanced at the tent that Ye Ziyi had just walked out, and glanced at it with satisfaction.
"Well, that's good, you really are, this Jing Ji is already with you, why hasn't the secret been missing? She really doesn't know anything about this woman, since she has that secret, she should present it to you well, so it is a grinding person, and it really deserves a good lesson!" said Madame Zhen, glancing at the scene again. "Don't spoil her too much, lest she run into nineteen again without knowing the sky. ”
Gongzicheng took the tea bowl served by the maidservant on the table, took a sip, and said lightly. "It has been taught. ”
"It's so best, nineteen, you can't be offended again, you Jing Ji, hide it, don't let her know and cause trouble. Mrs. Zhen said and took a sip of tea with a smile. "Ah Cheng, if there is anything new in Fuzhou this time, tell my aunt about it. ”
"Yes. Gongzi Cheng bowed slightly, and began to slowly tell what he had seen and heard on the road.
Ye Ziyi, who was behind the tent and listened to the movement inside, slowly straightened up, she turned around and walked towards the temple gate with an expressionless face, until she walked faster and faster, and finally ran away with her clothes on her feet.
The maidservant girl holding the clothes was walking to the door of the hall, and when she saw Ye Ziyi running out, she hurriedly asked. "Huh, where is the gentleman going?"
"The bathhouse. Ye Ziyi threw down these two words, walked out of the palace door, and really ran towards the bathhouse.
Running all the way to the door of the bathhouse, Ye Ziyi only felt that the Venus was rising in front of her, she stopped, and then realized that she was already full of tears.
Raising his sleeve to wipe the tears on his face, Ye Ziyi took a deep breath and muttered. "Didn't you already know? I already knew, what is there to cry about?"
Yes, she already knew that Gongzicheng was using her, but now that these words came out of his mouth, it actually hurt like his heart and lungs, and the tone of indifference, and the attitude of taking it for granted, really made her sober, but this time, she was more sober.
Walking into the door of the bathhouse with heavy steps, Ye Ziyi's dark pupils slowly became clear, and the steps under his feet slowly became much easier.
Now that her identity has been exposed, since Gongzicheng is planning to do this, what else does she have to take care of? He wants to play a game of cat and mouse, and she just accompanies him, such an aunt and nephew are really a family, but it is a shame that she has not fallen into the trap of Gongzicheng these days, is "Jing Gong's Secret"?
Ye Ziyi smiled coldly, okay, before leaving, she played a game of hypocrisy with him, and when he moved his mind, she would also leave him so ruthlessly!
The bathhouse was warm, Ye Ziyi looked at the soup pool not far away with some cruelty, and took off the clothes on his body while walking to the big pool, and when he reached the edge of the pool, he was no longer in sight.
Glancing at the black and yellow figure in the pool water, Ye Ziyi smiled mockingly, leaned over and jumped into the warm water.
The pool water is warm, not too comfortable for the top of the hair, Ye Ziyi slid in the big pool, gently brushing off the brown and black on his arms, and in a blink of an eye, a touch of white flashed in the pool.
I haven't taken a good bath for a long time, this time Ye Ziyi washed very happily and carefully, she cleaned herself up from head to toe, and when she came out of the water again, she was already a beautiful woman.
After washing off the disguise powder on her body, Ye Ziyi changed into a goose-yellow skirt found by the maidservant, tied her wet hair behind her head, and walked towards Yanyue Hall with her head held high.
Out of the bathhouse, the outside is already dark, the night is closed, the wind in the night is a little cold, blown by this cold wind, Ye Ziyi couldn't help but shiver, driving the wound on her back for a while, she trotted back to the main hall, and rubbed her hands at the door of the hall.
The right in front of the door of the hall looked at Ye Ziyi, who had changed his appearance and clothes, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and stammered. "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye?"
"Big brother on the right. The corners of Ye Ziyi's lips are slightly upturned, on a small white porcelain-like face, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and her lips are dotted, but she is really a rare beauty.
"Yes. Fu You hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly took a step back, not daring to look again.
Ye Ziyi didn't want to talk to Fu You, so he nodded with him and walked towards the inner hall.
In the dormitory, Gongzi Cheng was still talking with Mrs. Zhen, and his clear voice came from behind the tent, but it made his mouth bitter. Ye Ziyi stood in front of the tent and adjusted her breathing, stretched out her little white hand to open the tent, walked in with her head down, and bowed to the ground.
"Jing Ji pays a visit to Lady Zhen. Ye Ziyi's voice has a natural calmness, such a calm bow, dignified and generous, but there is a bit of everyone's demeanor.
"Look up, I'll see. Mrs. Zhen put away her smile, raised her chin slightly, looked high, and looked down at Ye Ziyi with disdain in her eyes.
"Yes. Ye Ziyi curled the corners of her lips slightly, slowly raised her head, and Gongzicheng on the side couldn't help but be curious, and turned to look at her sideways.
Under the light, the girl who was still immature three years ago has now become more charming, that kind of tranquil and gorgeous posture, the eyes are flowing, it can already hook people's hearts, so smile and move, like a blooming hibiscus, soft and graceful, but delicate and outstanding, it is so beautiful that it is difficult to take your eyes off.
Seeing Ye Ziyi like this, Mrs. Zhen was also stunned, and immediately frowned, she glanced at Gongzicheng, who had been staring at Ye Ziyi, pursed her red lips, and couldn't help lowering her face.
