Chapter 696: Who is He Jieyu?
Zhu Yunwen's dark eyes rolled and stared at Peng Shi's face, and the doubt that he had been speculating in his heart was slowly magnified - when anyone is in danger of life, he will want to ask for help from the person closest and trusted. It turns out that there is a Peng Shi hidden behind the Chai Yutu!
It's no wonder that Peng Shi introduced this woman to him in the first place. Zhu Yunwen's eardrums were buzzing with blood, and the poisonous juice in his heart burst out instantly, splashing at everyone present.
Peng Shi's face turned cold, and he just wanted to clear up the relationship with Chai Yutu, but He Angelica spoke first: "Your Royal Highness, please calm your anger, your words and deeds should be an example for the children of the royal family, don't forget what your identity should do." ”
Such a simple sentence did not carry any tone, but it extinguished the fire in Zhu Yunwen's heart at once, at least the anger on the surface. Zhu Yunwen's grim expression of wanting to devour the living disappeared in an instant, like a storm on the sea, coming and going without warning.
He smiled softly and greeted the three people at the gate of the courtyard: "Hey, all the ladies are here too?" I'm sorry that something like this happened in the house, and you were also frightened. You can still smell the smell of blood standing here, it's really a bad sight, let's talk elsewhere. ”
He Angelica and Peng Shi looked back and saw that it was Luo Baiqiong, Qi Mu'er and the elderly concubine.
Qi Mu'er still covered her face with a veil, for some reason; Luo Baiqiong was wearing a goose-yellow narcissus skirt, beautiful, standing against a foggy morning light, like a fairy in a flower, and even Peng Shi was shaken his eyes. But the most striking thing was the older concubine, who had a pair of talking eyes. The people she saw had a paralyzing feeling of being unable to move, like prey being targeted by a lioness.
At this moment, although she looked at He Angelica with a smile and a gentle and generous demeanor, it made He Angelica feel surprisingly uncomfortable.
Luo Baiqiong took the lead and said: "We heard about Zhang Meiren, so we came to take a look, Your Highness doesn't have to pay attention to us, it's still important to deal with business." By the way, my hand injury is almost healed, please arrange for a chariot to take us back to the palace in the afternoon, and the saint can't do without me. ”
Qi Mu'er also chimed in: "It's time to go back, but it's a pity that I couldn't get the county lord to play a game of chess." ”
He Angelica said: "It's okay, it's a long time coming." ”
"Then I'll arrange for the carriage and the guards, and I'll have to clear the side road three hours in advance." Peng Shi said immediately. Zhu Yunwen's reddened eyes just now made him feel that something was wrong, and he had to find a place to calm down and think about what went wrong.
"Then let's go first, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will mourn and change."
Luo Baiqiong and the others said goodbye before they entered the courtyard, and as soon as they and Peng Shi walked on their front feet, Zhu Yunwen anxiously grabbed He Angelica's arm and shook it, and asked, "What should I do?" The fact that my Zhang Meiren is pregnant has just been passed on as a big happy event, and even the imperial grandfather in the palace knows about it. Now that the child is gone, let Concubine Luo bump into each other again, they will definitely tell the imperial grandfather when they return to the palace! ”
He Angelica broke away from his hand, turned his head and said lightly: "What if you tell me?" Could it be that the king who inherits the entire country is determined by a piece of meat in a woman's belly? ”
"How do you understand," Zhu Yunwen punched the pillar irritably, "In the past eight years, when Grandpa Huang was with me in private, he hinted more than once that he planned to pass on the throne to me, but according to the old practice of previous dynasties, I have to have an heir to become a human being, and I can be justified!" ”
"Your Highness, you are an adult now, don't say childish things." He Angelica looked at him with a smile, as leisurely as watching a play.
Zhu Yunwen sighed in frustration: "Once the emperor's grandfather told me that the reason why the strong man died was that several generations of emperors were too short-lived, and the crown prince was still a few years old when he ascended the throne, which caused the power to fall aside. My father died young, and my grandfather kept sending me all kinds of women since I was eleven years old to make me ...... Alas, what to do? Grandpa Huang is already sick and confused, and his judgment has also declined, you say, will he exclude me for this matter and turn to the fourth uncle? ”
He Angelica picked osmanthus flowers, threw them into the pond to feed the fish, and asked leisurely: "Didn't you raise a group of staff members with a lot of money?" A pair of sons of the Peng family, of course, are young and careless, isn't there still a Mr. Sun who is promoted by you? ”
Zhu Yunwen frowned: "You mean Sun Yanbin?" ”
He Angelica nodded: "Yes, in the imperial examination that year, even the Chinese list eye, Wu Tanhua, and Mr. Sun, who was both civil and martial, studied at Chengxu Academy, and I also admired his dignity once. Why, is his kind of sophisticated and shrewd person not to be of great use? ”
Zhu Yunwen's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was bored for a long time before he said, "He's dead." ”
"Dead?" He Angelica's action of feeding the fish froze, "Sick?" ”
"No, he was killed. Yesterday morning he was found dead in his mansion, disemboweled, his internal organs empty, and his body looked like it had been eaten by a wild animal. ”
He Angelica said: "That should be an accident." ”
Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Sun Yanbin died in the secret room of his study, that secret room was built when I gave him the mansion, no outsider knew, let alone enter the beast." ”
"Oh?"
"Forget it, don't mention him," Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, "In the days before he died, he had always been very close to Cao Hongrui of Dongchang, and I didn't trust him for a long time." Even Peng Shi betrayed me, and the other staff guests couldn't believe it even more - good county lord, can you help me think about how to get through this difficulty? Will Grandpa Huang take away my opportunity because of the loss of my child? In the past few years, he has been waiting for this child of mine for a long time. ”
He Angelica sneered and asked: "Since you know so well, it's not enough to give birth early, and now I'm not a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, what are you asking me for?" Then again, why do you trust me, I don't know Your Highness at all, why are you pouring your troubles on me? ”
Not far away, the firewood rain map sitting on the ground had long been stunned.
What the hell is going on? How dare He Angelica speak to Zhu Yunwen in such a sneering tone, Zhu Yunwen can't say that he is like thunder, why is there no sign of being offended? Incredible, incredible!
The conversation between the two was completely beyond Chai Yutu's normal cognition, and there was no resemblance to the "eldest grandson" she thought she knew very well. Even if Peng Shi suddenly knelt under her pomegranate skirt and affectionately told her that he was ready to give up everything and take her away, she would not be so shocked.
That's what it is...... What is the true face of Zhu Yunwen and He Angelica?
"Gotta find a way, gotta find a way!" Zhu Yunwen turned around four or five times on the spot, muttering to himself, "King Yan has three sons, King Ning has two sons, and even King Jingjiang, who is two years younger than me, has a daughter, and I have nothing." If a courtier slanders me, saying that I have a chronic illness and cannot be passed on to future generations, the imperial grandfather will be confused again......"
"Your Highness, what do you think of the group of dogs in Dongchang?" He Angelica suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Huh?" Zhu Yunwen didn't know what he meant.
"If you ascend the throne, you can abolish both the East and West Factory and the Jinyi Guard," He Angelica stroked the osmanthus in the palm of his hand, and his bright eyes turned and looked straight into Zhu Yunwen's eyes, "If you can make such a guarantee, maybe I will help you." ”
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed her shoulders: "Do you have a way?" ”
"Your guarantee?" He Angelica asked rhetorically.
Zhu Yunwen nodded vigorously and assured: "This is natural, the first thing I did after I ascended the throne was to abolish the three major institutions." Not only do I deeply dislike the behavior of Cao Hongrui's father and son, but my father was also scolded by the emperor's grandfather for abusing his power in the East Factory, and he died of illness. Cao Hongrui and I are incompatible! Aunt and Grandma County Lord, can you tell me what you think? ”
He Angelica hooked his lips and smiled, "What kind of problem is this?" Make a fake belly for Zhang Meiren first, at least it can last for a while, and then you go to other beauties to work hard, why is it difficult to think of an heir? ”
Zhu Yunwen sighed and vetoed: "But...... Concubine Luo, Concubine Qi, and He Jieyu entered the palace, and Zhang Meiren's miscarriage couldn't be hidden. Even if I buy them with silver and don't leak it out for the time being, I don't believe He Jieyu as a person. Either way, I'll have to keep their mouths shut, or it's going to be very bad for me. ”
He Angelica was stunned and asked, "He Jieyu?" Which one is He Jieyu and what is her name? ”
"Who knows," Zhu Yunwen said nonchalantly, "There are hundreds of people in the harem, and new people come to the throne every day, how can I remember her." ”
He Angelica lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he looked up again, he had swept away his doubts, and said with a smile: "It's okay for them to go to the emperor to tell the truth, I already have a very proper plan." Zhang Meiren still has a pillow tied to her stomach, and in addition, you have a two-year-old son, so you will not lose your qualifications. ”
"Two-year-old son?" Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened, "You mean, let me go outside and hug someone else's son?" No, everyone in the court knows that I am not close to women, and if an illegitimate child suddenly appears and destroys my reputation, it will not be good for me. Moreover, to recognize a royal ancestry, it is not something that can be done simply with my words. ”
"Don't worry, what I said is a 'very good strategy', if you don't pull me to be your military advisor, you should trust me a little, right?" He Angelica patted the broken osmanthus on his skirt, stood up, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness was too out of shape just now, and I forgot that in addition to you and me, there is also Chai Meiren here." It's okay with her, right, listened to all our plans? ”
Zhu Yunwen glanced at the picture of firewood rain on the ground, his eyes were as cold as a stone statue, and his body was long and jade, but he turned his back suddenly.
"Is there a third living person here, why didn't the palace see it?" He said so.
He Angelica shrugged his shoulders, turned his back as well, and persuaded in his mouth: "There are fewer and fewer women around you, do you really not consider keeping one or two?" I think she's pretty good, and she's doing her best to serve you. ”
Zhu Yunwen said ruthlessly: "She must die to be buried for my unborn child." ”
"How can you be sure she did it? Don't wronged the good guys. ”
"If she is a good person, there are not many bad people in this world. Don't intercede for this poisonous woman, she deserves it. ”
“……”
While the two were talking, Chai Yutu suddenly found that he was shrouded in a shadow, and then, a cold rope sleeve wrapped around Xiumei's white neck.
Frightened, she hissed and shouted, "I know who He Jieyu is!" Please, don't kill me! Save me! ”
