Chapter 170: The End of the Lady (I)
"This is the eighteenth good news." Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace.
In the hall where the incense of agarwood was burned, the light of the winter afternoon seemed very long, Qiu Baoniang's eyes were lowered, and she seemed to be asleep, but her tone was sober and cold, like a plum with snow outside the hall.
"Since King Ning arrived in the southwest and southwest, the four kings have lost their territory." After a short pause, Qiu Baoniang said lightly, "Although the maid has never learned military strategy, she also knows that in the southwest corner, how can it be my Dayong's opponent?" Taking the southwest is always a matter of time or time. β
"Once the southwest is recovered, the army will return to the dynasty - Niang Niang thinks that Shan Guifei and them will be as obedient as they are now?"
"And even if His Majesty resents Concubine Shan for having too much contact with the Duanmu family before, and snubs her from then onβbut the positions of Concubine De and Concubine Xian are still empty! If you have more than three grades, you can do the position of the main seat of the first house, and many of them are empty! β
Qiu Baoniang raised her hand and pointed to the palace behind her, "This gorgeous palace from the former Wei Dynasty, there are many pavilions, and now they are mostly empty!" Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and if you want to fill these palaces, what is the difficulty? β
Empress Qiu slowly exhaled and bowed her head: "Since the Shan family's miscarriage, this palace has made up its mind. You just have to let it go - this palace knows that its ability is limited, and it never dares to be extraneous ambitious! But as a mother, no matter how incompetent and useless she is! This palace also has to fight for the poor children of this palace for what they deserve! β
"Slave Xie Niangniang's trust!" Qiu Baoniang solemnly kowtowed and retreated!
Sun Mo, who was behind the Empress Qiu like a puppet, only spoke at this moment: "Since this is the case, do you want to invite the eldest prince back in private?" β
"No, he didn't let Zhiqi come back, if I call him back, he will definitely be suspected!" Queen Qiu closed her eyes tiredly, and said in a low voice, "Besides, if it succeeds, is it still necessary for that evil seed in the side hall to live?" At that time, Zhiqi was the only prince! β
Sun Mo bowed his head and stopped talking.
Half a day later, a Zhuangzi outside the imperial capital, the red and gorgeous plum huΔ, bloomed in the snow.
In the snow, the woman standing with the purple fox fur in her arms, although her face is vicissitudes, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and even a little dusty, she can still see her beautiful outline back then.
"Things are in people, not everything." Liu Ruoye smelled the cold fragrance of red plums, but in her heart she was recalling her experience over the years.
In the past, she thought that she would be unbearable if she fell into the hands of Shen Xun, but when she really lived in the streets, she knew what it meant to be unbearable.
Since finding Liu Ruowo and reuniting with his sister and brother, everything in the past has been like a nightmare.
In her life, she will never dream like this again
"Fortunately, Ruowo has already been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, and it is absolutely impossible for Liu Shi to cross Ruowo in the title again!" Thinking of this news, Liu Ruoye couldn't help but have a smile on his face, but then disappeared again, "I don't know if he is seriously injured?" Moreover, in order to take care of Wei Xinyong, he had to be sent to Ruiyu Hall for medical treatment, although it was said that because he was sent over publicly, it was absolutely impossible for the Wei family to stop him from seeking medical treatment. But Ji Quzhi has always had a deep relationship with the Wei family, and his medical skills are so good, could it be that Mrs. Song remembers the old things and instigates him to do something in secret? β
Liu Ruoye muttered, "It's best to try to mention the Wei family, so that they don't dare to mess up their minds!" β
At this time, there was a hurried footstep behind her, and it was the subordinate who was waiting for her on Zhuangzi: "Miss! β
"What's the matter?!" The confusion and groan in Liu Ruoye's eyes faded at the same time, revealing a fierce meaning, "Didn't I say that when I was thinking about things here, I was not allowed to disturb!" β
That unimaginable nightmare taught Liu Ruoye the most humble and lowest. Cheap posture, but after restoring her brocade clothes and jade food, her temper is more eccentric than when she was well raised in the boudoir.
In the past few days, the subordinates of Zhuangzi have been punished by her, so that the maid who came to tell at this moment trembled: "It's the young lady of Lu Guogong's family who is here!" β
"Zheng Cuiye?" Liu Ruoye was stunned, so she didn't continue to find trouble with the maid, and snorted, "I know, you go and ask her to stay less, I'll change my clothes and go!" β
She met Zheng Cuiye by accident - not long ago, Zheng Cuiye was in a bad mood and was persuaded by the maid around her to go to the suburbs, and she walked to Zhuangzi.
Because it was not early at that time, the subordinates around Zheng Cuiye were afraid of any risks when they returned to the city at night, so they knocked on the door of the village and asked for the night.
Although Liu Ruoye knew at that time that she was Lu Guogong's only daughter, but as soon as she came, Lu Guogong had already died, even if Zheng Cuiye's uncle was still alive, but her uncle was not childless, and she felt that there were not many places for Miss Zheng to use; Second, Liu Ruoye's identity is not visible now, so he has no intention of meeting Zheng Cuiye.
But she didn't want to, she didn't want to come out to see Zheng Cuiye, but Zheng Cuiye took the initiative to find her - that day, Liu Ruoye asked his subordinates to say that the master was not in the Zhuangzi, and gave up the house where he lived, thinking that he could calm things down, and he didn't want Zheng Cuiye and the previous maid to recognize the smell of precious spices in the room not long ago, and became suspicious - it was not ordinary suspicion, it was suspected that there were assassins here!
So Zheng Cuiye searched left and right, and Liu Ruoye couldn't hide it anyway, so he had to come out and admit that he was the master.
Fortunately, although Zheng Cuiye is arrogant, her brain is not very smart. Liu Ruoye casually made up a family road, and there was only such a Zhuangzi left to live by, for fear that others would know that the owner of the village was a lone woman bullying her, so she didn't dare to come forward to receive the reason, Zheng Cuiye also believed it, and sympathized with her.
Originally, things ended here, but Liu Ruoye didn't expect that Zheng Cuiye would often come over after that - the reason was that she felt that Liu Ruoye was alone, and even Zhuangzi didn't dare to admit that it was her own, and there was definitely no place to speak. And Zheng Cuiye is in a bad mood, if you tell her, don't be afraid of her saying it! The most important thing is that Liu Ruoye perfunctory her that day - so Zheng Cuiye feels that she can always be in a good mood when talking to Liu Ruoye
However, this reason is probably Zheng Cuiye's seriousness, Liu Ruoye has been suspicious since she came over for the third time: she lives in this remote place, but Zheng Cuiye lives in the imperial capital, and once she goes back and forth, it is dark in winter, and she often has to spend the night on Zhuangzi.
Then Duchess Lu Guo has a daughter of Zheng Cuiye, and she has not yet left the cabinet, how can she let her spend the night outside for three days and two ends without sending anyone to inquire? Besides, Zheng Cuiye is the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom, so there is really no one who can speak?!
And Liu Ruoye clicked three times and twice, and tried to find out that Zheng Cuiye was in a bad mood and bumped into his village - Shen Zangfeng!
It was this name that made Liu Ruoye vigilant and wanted to stay away from Zheng Cuiye!
She is no longer the eleventh lady of the Liu family, who was honored and jade, but the daughter of the Donghu Liu family who is ashamed to admit! If it weren't for her brother's nostalgia, she would have even been "persuaded" by her own clansmen to get the whole festival! Where can he afford to mix in the private affairs of the Shen lord?
She almost immediately doubted her sister Liu Ruoyu, who was also alive but could not return to the Liu family.
The problem is that she couldn't find out Liu Ruoyu's whereabouts, and she tried Zheng Cuiye several times, and she didn't find anyone similar to Liu Ruoyu around her?
"Let's leave this little thing at bay for now." After changing her clothes, she thought as she walked towards the huΔ hall, "Now that Ruowo is not in the imperial capital, his wife doesn't like me very much, I'm afraid she didn't take my trust seriously!" When Ruowo comes back, let's find out who is behind this little thing? Anyway, this little thing is not smart, so it is very coaxing! β
Thinking of her brother-in-law Zhou, Liu Ruoye's brows furrowed and wrinkled.
Although Zhou is only a daughter of a family, she is young and beautiful, and after marrying Liu Ruowo, the relationship between husband and wife is very good, and she currently has the eldest son and the second son under her knees. It's just that this brother-in-law is not very good to her sister-in-law - since knowing her experience over the years, although Liu Ruowo didn't dare to say it directly, but when Liu Ruowo was away, Zhou's contemptuous attitude and expression clearly implied that Liu Ruoye should die to save her name - Zhou even once pretended to use the suicide of a chaste martyr in the book to say "If such a fierce woman is in our family, she will definitely give her a beautiful future"
"For the sake of the two nephews, I will tolerate her for a while, if she is still so uninteresting and blindly wants to force me to die" Liu Ruoye's eyes were gloomy, and then covered it up, "Ruowo is not in the imperial capital, do you think that it is only me who has lost his protection?" What an idiot! β
But the next moment, stepping into the huΔ hall, she was already smiling: "Miss Zheng, are you here again?" You're really tired of such deep snow. β
"No more nonsense!" Zheng Cuiye was in a good mood today - mainly when she went out of the city, she happened to meet Shen Zangfeng, who happened to be traveling with her eldest son on the road, wearing a fox fur, wearing a golden crown, and riding a very green horse.
Especially when he controlled the reins with one hand and straightened the hood sideways for Shen Shuguang, the eldest son of the slightly backward red-fat horse, the kind of loving and pitiful gaze that looked at his own blood made Zheng Cuiye willing to save him from the catastrophe - Xu was his father who went early, Shen Shuguang, who resembled Shen Zangfeng, should obviously be a handsome son who is widely popular with girls, but even if Zheng Cuiye saw Shen Zangfeng twice, she also saw Shen Shuguang beside her, but she just ignored Shen Shuguang directly every time, All eyes are on Shen Zangfeng, who is old enough to be her father!
Until here, Zheng Cuiye's excitement has not disappeared.
She excitedly urged Liu Ruoye, "Bring the wine, Miss Ben wants to drink some today!" β
Liu Ruoye was tired in her heart, and came up to entertain her according to her instructions - and then listened to her talking about all kinds of trivial things, and finally couldn't bear it, and praised Shen Zangfeng to Liu Ruoye for a long time - it was as if she was Shen Zangfeng's wife.
In the end, it was easy to send the drunk Zheng Cuiye to sleep, Liu Ruoye rubbed the corners of his forehead, and began to wonder what Liu Ruoyu's hand meant? Although she didn't look down on Zheng Cuiye, she didn't feel that Zheng Cuiye's frequent visits brought much pressure, what did Liu Ruoyu want to do? It's been so long, Zheng Cuiye hasn't even revealed her identity!
The most important thing is that after these days of getting along, Liu Ruoye is confident that after his identity is revealed, Zheng Cuiye is very likely to be on his side!
"Could it be that in the future, she will seduce Zheng Cuiye to seduce Shen Zangfeng and plant this crime on my head?" Liu Ruoye frowned slightly, and was even more dissatisfied with her brother-in-law Zhou, in fact, after Zheng Cuiye hit the door for the first time, Liu Ruoye expressed her desire to live in a different place to Zhou after Zheng Cuiye hit the door for the first time.
But Zhou said lightly to the people she sent: "The place where the girl lives now is carefully selected and arranged by her husband is tight-mouthed, if you change it and show the news, it will not be good for the girl, right?" β
This hateful woman doesn't even want to call her "Miss"!
Even though Liu Ruoye is deep in the city, she has lost the dignity of Miss Qianjin, and she is in charge of a brother and daughter-in-law like Zhou, who looks down on her everywhere, ignores her requests everywhere, and even thinks about dragging her back, and lives so far away from the city, she is not well-informed, and she is helpless!
"You can't let the Zhou family go on like this anymore!" Liu Ruoye bit her lip before she made up her mind - not far away, in the courtyard where Zheng Cuiye was placed, a mournful shout of the maid suddenly sounded: "Quick! Go to the doctor! Miss is not good! β
Liu Ruoye was shocked!
