Chapter 31 Temptation, Initial Understanding
Outside the window, the night was getting darker, and Mama Song's mother and son were sitting opposite each other, and their faces were shrouded in a layer of gloom.
After a long time, Song Hui's heart fluctuated before he gradually subsided, and asked: "Although Yinchai is dead, but the Jiang family is still alive, can my mother allow her to be such a hidden danger?" β
"She has a pair of children in my hands, and she will never dare to act rashly, so she doesn't need to worry." Mama Song waved her hand: "Keeping such a person, or it is still useful, and the silver hairpin just died, and the Jiang family also died, it may not cause the princess to be suspicious, the last time because of Wu Niang's unintentional words, the princess was already suspicious, thanks to my quick response, told the Jiang family to pass, and it was rounded." Aunt Zhang is a brainless person, after this incident, I don't know how much I have a grudge against the princess, Jiang is by her side, and she can also speak, if things don't develop as we expect in the future, Aunt Zhang may not be a good knife. β
Song Hui thought about it for a while, and admired her adoptive mother's scheming, after all, she was really negative when she waited for the eldest princess to "die of illness", which was not in line with her adoptive mother's temperament, and sure enough, she had a few preparations.
"What reassures me is Chunlailou, the shopkeeper of a silk shop, who asks me what is going on? This time, if it weren't for Yinchai's dead Nizi who had such thoughts, threatened me to help her become the second master's concubine, and told me about it, I would still be kept in the dark, I didn't know that she was hiding so many things, and there were still people asking about the relationship between the Tian family and me! Mama Song said.
"If you want to say that you shouldn't have kept the silver hairpin back then, you should have let her enter the Guogong Mansion." A fierce color flashed in Song Hui's eyes, as if Yinchai was still in front of him, he would also break her body to pieces.
"When she was only ten years old, she cried and begged me, and I was also soft-hearted for a while, but I didn't expect the pair of untouchables of the Tian family to tell her about it." Mama Song is also full of color, as if she can't wait to let Yinchai die again, in fact, when she let Yinchai enter the Guogong Mansion, she also saw that she was born well, maybe it will be useful.
"My son went to check the shopkeeper, but there was nothing strange on the surface." Song Hui frowned two black and rough brows: "It seems that this spring building is indeed not simple. β
Mama Song sighed: "Fortunately, Yinchai hasn't had time to tell that person about the year...... But I thought that there was such a pair of malicious eyes behind me, and I was always very uneasy. β
Often with a conspiracy, secretly peeping at other people's people, more sensitive and defensive to peeping from behind their own back, since listening to Yinchai said that someone is probing their secrets, Song Mama has fallen into the anxiety of not knowing the taste of food and sleeping, that is, from that day, to Yinchai has murderous intent, but Yinchai is dead, and the threat from nowhere still envelops her, making her toss and turn at night, finally falling asleep, and waking up by a nightmare before dawn.
In this dream, the eldest princess saw through the elaborate plot for more than 20 years, and gave her a three-foot sword and a cup of poisonous wine!
No, it must not be so, it must not be left unsuccessful.
Mama Song changed out of her underwear soaked in cold sweat and sat in the night, looking at the waning moon in the sky.
It's like the corners of the man's lips smiling.
His low and warm voice seemed to sound in his ears again, admiring her riding skills and swordsmanship: "She is worthy of being the pioneer female general of the Feifeng Division!" The mandarin duck sword in one hand does not leak, and it deserves the four words of fat powder hero! β
For so many years, she had been very close to him.
But after all, he couldn't really get to him.
"But don't worry, I will definitely take care of your bloodline and let them get what they deserve." muttering to himself, in the depths of his eyes, which were no longer clear, there was a vein of tenderness and ruthlessness: "Only your bloodline that I raised as an adult is qualified...... By your last name, you will be honored. β
This night, Yijing had a good sleep, dreamless and worry-free to early in the morning, came back from the racecourse, went to Yuanying Hall as usual to greet him, happened to meet Liuniang, the two girls made an appointment to go to see Mr. Wei, returned to Luqing Garden, bathed and changed clothes, and only in the spring twilight combed a pair of buds for Yijing, and the autumn frost came to report, and the Erlang of Chu Wangfu came.
Yijing sat in the main hall, watching a young man in a vermilion gauze round-necked flower robe bathing in the morning sun, his eyebrows shining brightly, followed by a strong mother-in-law, holding a pot of Qionghua in his hand.
"Wu Niang, look, that flower is really spiritual, no wonder Erlang specially sent it to you." Qiu Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
Yu Zhou came in excitedly, heard this, and hurriedly handed a courteous smile: "Flowers are second, this pot is rare, the last time I came over, I saw a flower bottle in the fifth sister's tea room, I remembered it, and finally found this pot, you look at the landscape above, is it just a match with your flower bottle, with this flower pot accompaniment, the flower bottle is not lonely." β
After saying this, the maids in the room pursed their lips and shook their shoulders and smiled, secretly thinking that Yu Erlang's words are really good, this porcelain pot and porcelain bottle, I also know what loneliness is?
Dongyu took the tea inside, and just happened to hear it, so he looked at the flower pot twice, and quietly glanced at Yu Zhou, but happened to meet the pair of radiant phoenix eyes, which were facing him, full of smiles, and couldn't help but feel that his cheeks were hot, and his slightly drooping gaze stayed on the young man's slender and powerful fingers.
When he handed the tea, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Yijing quietly took Dongyu's shyness and secret joy into his eyes, and asked Qiuyue to reward the mother-in-law brought by Yu Zhou, and took her out to drink tea, and then said to Yu Zhou: "Brother Zhou has a heart." β
"Even my mother-in-law has been rewarded, what does the fifth sister have to reward me?" Yu Zhou smiled with white teeth, and lowered his eyebrows to please.
Yijing instructed Chundui: "Go and get the little ingots out." β
Chun Du answered, pretending to turn around, and Yu Zhou hurriedly stopped: "Sister, this is burying me, and sending me away as a subordinate." There was no complaint in that voice.
Most of the maids are familiar with Yu Zhou, and they often joked in the past, so they heard Qiushuang say: "Erlang, don't know what to do, what Wu Niang said is the gold ingots given by the palace in the new year, which one has such a blessing." β
When Dongyu heard this, he secretly wondered in his heart, no wonder others said that Yu Erlang's treatment of Wu Niang was extraordinary, and sure enough, even the maids in Luqing Garden dared to be so presumptuous in front of the royal clansmen, so he couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly, and quietly looked at it, this time he saw the flying black eyebrows, the straight and tall nose bridge, like the complexion of golden autumn wheat mang, glowing with a healthy and dazzling brilliance, the corners of the lips with clear contours were slightly raised, and the smile was warm to the heart, stirring people in a trance.
Sure enough, he is the pride of the sky, with gestures and smiles, all showing his nobility.
A clan brother is still so dazzling, and I don't know what the demeanor of those princes should be, thinking of his grandmother's plan for his future, Dongyu only felt that the soles of his feet were hot, climbing along the backbone, infinite longing, and quietly blooming in his heart.
I heard Yu Zhou say again: "The fifth sister promised to embroider a purse for me a few years ago, I look forward to the stars and the moon, etc., how do I know that there will be no shadow here, good sister, if you really want to reward, so you have some heart, don't forget to promise me something." β
"Why don't I remember this?" The view raised her eyebrows.
Yu Zhou looked at Qiushuang: "Qiushuang testifies, your lady has said this." β
Qiushuang hurriedly waved her hand: "The slave doesn't remember this, Wu Niang has always disliked female red, how could she agree to Erlang this?" β
Yu Zhou pretended to be annoyed, his phoenix eyes were raised, and he glared at Qiushuang in a mocking manner: "What a treacherous maid." Then he said to Chundui, "My sister has always been a just person, and you have come to call the shots for me." β
Chundui smiled silently, as if he hadn't heard Yu Zhou's words.
Yu Zhou was helpless: "Okay, okay, you are all loyal, the fifth sister is really blessed." β
Yijing was thoughtful, and then gave a smile: "Brother Zhou knows that I am lazy, and he still wants to embarrass me, just that, since you have opened your mouth, I will keep it in my heart, but don't think that my craftsmanship is not good, and the embroidery is not eye-catching." β
Yu Zhou immediately smiled: "As long as the fifth sister is willing to do it, where will there be anything bad to do, but this son promised me in front of so many people, I will wait." β
"There is only one thing, and I have to ask my brother for help." Yi Jing said, glancing at the maids.
Spring twilight and autumn frost understood, quietly exited the main hall, standing in the porch outside, only the winter rain was restless, standing in place with lowered eyes, not moving, not paying attention to the spring twilight and autumn frost signals.
It wasn't until she heard Yijing cough that Dongyu woke up like a dream, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that her master and Yu Erlang were looking at her, and Chun Du and Qiu Shuang were no longer in the house, so she blushed, blessed her body in a panic, and retreated out of the main hall.
"It's okay for the two of us to stay here, you should stay away, there will be outsiders in the future, and you can't stay in the house rashly without the master's orders." Spring Twilight lowered her voice and pointed out the winter rain with a serious face.
Dongyu was ashamed and unwilling, the red tide on his little face drowned the rouge mole between his eyebrows, but he promised again and again on his mouth, and turned around and walked away without seeing anyone.
"The last time I saw that girl, she was a little smart, but when I saw her this time, I thought she was so stupid that she couldn't even look at the least of her eyes?" Yu Zhou glanced at the back of Dongyu leaving, and his gaze was retracted, and he said a word.
Yi Jing sneered in her heart, but her face was faint: "She was originally clever, but today she doesn't know why, she is in a trance and lost her soul." β
Yu Zhou tasted these words, smacked a little sour and jealous taste, and was happy in his heart, thinking about how to confess, but listened to Yijing's voice: "Actually, what I ask is not my own business, it is for Ah Ran...... Sister Hui was too strong in the past, just bullying Ah Jin, even Ah Ran she didn't let go, the sisters listened to the lecture together, and often heard her sneer at Ah Ran, this is still in my house, in the past in the Chu Palace, it may not be what it looks like, I really can't look at it, to say, Ah Ran is the daughter of Uncle Chu Wang, although she is a concubine, she is the only one with such a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she still be teased by Sister Hui? β
Yu Zhou was stunned, and the expression on his face was stiff.
Yi Jing naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't notice: "It stands to reason that Ah Ran will be named the county lord sooner or later, and her identity is naturally more noble than Sister Hui, and her temperament is too good, let Sister Hui bully and not say anything, if I were her, I wouldn't be able to help it, why should a dignified prince be bullied by a cousin, Ah Ran can be regarded as the serious master of the Chu Palace." β
In other words, General Zhenguo's family is just a guest house, and sooner or later they will have to be independent of the mansion, and An Hui has no position to show off his might in front of An Ran.
But Yu Zhou is also the son of General Zhenguo, and when he heard this, his heart was naturally depressed.
"You are Sister Hui's eldest brother, you have to discipline her well, don't be so rampant, even I can't see it, let alone what others think, talking about Sister Hui regardless of dignity."
Regardless of the four words of respect and inferiority, the stimulation of Yu Zhou was really too great, so that the eyebrows jumped slightly, and the pair of flying and tall phoenix eyes couldn't help but pass a line of gloom, but it was only for a moment.
An Hui has a domineering temperament, not only for her own sisters, but also often looking for the fifth sister, no wonder she wants to complain for An Ran, the fifth sister is still young, and she has always been a straightforward person, this should only be aimed at An Hui, and did not mock herself, Yu Zhou thought so, but she was not angry, but she was always uncomfortable, and she was unwilling to help the concubine of the King of Chu, but she alienated her sister.
Therefore, Yu Zhou leaned down on the case, lowered his voice and said: "There are some hidden secrets, the fifth sister doesn't know, let alone An Hui, even the grandmother, I don't like An Ran in my heart, as well as the Queen Mother and the Holy ...... An Ran wants to be the county lord, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream. β
That's what I'm waiting for!
Yi Jingqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Yu Zhou suspiciously: "Why is this?" Although it stands to reason that only the princess's concubine can be named the county lord, but An Ran is the only daughter of the uncle of the king of Chu, and it is not without precedent for the concubine to be crowned, as long as the old princess and the uncle of the king of Chu ask for the title, the queen mother and the saint should not refuse. β
In the previous life, An Ran has not been sealed, this is a confusing thing, even if Yi Jing doesn't care, he can feel the disgust of the King of Chu and the old princess for An Ran, not to mention An Hui, even the descendants of the Chu Palace, do not put such a master in their eyes, after being reborn, Yi Jing felt more and more that there was something strange in it, and today he deliberately aroused Yu Zhou's dissatisfaction, just to make a clichΓ©.
"This is an ugly thing related to my family......" Yu Zhou hesitated.
Yi Jing was obviously anxious, but he had to suppress it, pretending to be annoyed: "Brother Zhou doesn't want to say it, forget it." β
"Fifth sister, don't worry, in fact, although others don't know about this, the Queen Mother, the Holy Lord, and the aunt and grandmother know about it, just forget it, I won't hide it from you." Seeing that the beautiful scenery was unpleasant, Yu Zhou's brain was hot, and he couldn't care too much: "It's just that my sister listened, but I can't tell others." β
Yi Jing didn't ask, just kept a straight face, playing with the jade fly on his waist.
Yu Zhou turned his heart sideways: "Back then, there was no secret to the death of the eldest aunt, and there was also the illness of the eldest brother...... In fact, the eldest aunt did not die of illness, but An Ran's biological mother was poisoned in the medicinal diet, and the eldest brother was also poisoned! β
And so it was!
Yijing's heart was beating wildly, and he looked shocked, but he listened to Yu Zhou's detailed words.
An Ran's biological mother, originally the princess of Chu's maid, the king of Chu was affectionate, and the princess had a deep love for the husband and wife, after marriage, she was impatient to take a concubine, when the princess was pregnant, she couldn't stand the beating of the old princess, so she picked a henchman in the maid, opened her face and made a room, and later the maid was pregnant, and the princess carried her aunt.
Aunt Jiang's first child was pregnant with a baby boy, but due to dystocia, she swallowed her breath when she was born.
Somehow, Aunt Jiang suspected that Princess Chu had poisoned her.
Aunt Jiang has a grudge in her heart, but on the surface she is docile and well-behaved, she has the trust of the princess, and she has done very well in the medicinal diet, so although she has become an aunt, the medicinal diet taken by the princess has always been handled by her.
No one expected that this docile man would add chronic poisonous weeds to the princess's medicinal diet.
Not only that, but Aunt Jiang also bought off the kitchen and poisoned the diet of the nurse.
The son of the world is weak, and it is all because of this reason.
After years of accumulation, once poisoned, the princess lacked the skills to return to heaven.
That poison is very rare and chronic, even the imperial doctor in the palace did not diagnose it, Aunt Jiang almost got away with it, and the son of the world is so weak that he is about to die.
However, the mother's mother soon became poisonous, and her symptoms were naturally similar to those of the princess.
The king of Chu became suspicious, and found an experienced person to examine the body of the nursing mother, only to know that it was poisoned!
One stone startled a thousand waves, the palace of the king of Chu was cloudy, and after tracking, he finally found the traitor in the kitchen, and under the torture to extract a confession, the man confessed Aunt Jiang.
The king of Chu was furious, but the princess of Chu had died and could not be saved, and the matter involved in the royal scandal, could not be silenced, with the acquiescence of the queen mother and the saint, the king of Chu gave Aunt Jiang to death, and before Aunt Jiang died, she confessed, saying that she resented the princess for killing her son, so she hid her evil intentions, and wanted to let the princess's mother and son be buried with her poor child.
That year, An Ran was less than one year old, but with such a biological mother, it was no wonder that the old princess and the king of Chu did not like it.
Thanks to the revelation of Aunt Jiang's crime, the king of Chu learned that the prince was not born weak, but because he had drunk poisoned milk since he was a child......
However, the poison was very powerful, although the prince was saved by the wisdom of the imperial physician to save a life, but it could not be eradicated, the imperial physician asserted that if there was no cure, the prince would not live to the crown age.
This is the ins and outs, but the murderer is not the person Yi Jing expected.
Come to think of it, a concubine, even if she knows some medicinal properties, how can she have such a skill, and find a poison that no matter how many imperial doctors are helpless? If it weren't for the fact that the nurse of the prince followed closely with the poisonous hair, which aroused the suspicion of the king of Chu, he would have been able to hide it from the world.
However, if Aunt Jiang was instructed by someone behind her back, why would she rather die than confess that person......
I can't think through the beautiful scenery for a while.
But let her rest assured for the time being, the "evil disease" of the prince was originally due to poisoning, and the divine doctor Qinggu is said to be the best at poisoning herbs, no wonder the prince was diagnosed and treated by him in his previous life, and gradually recovered, so in this life, as long as Qinggu appears, the disease of the prince should also be cured.
Of course, in order to keep the world safe, you have to get rid of those who have malicious intentions.
Yijing looked at Yu Zhou, and the undercurrent in his eyes was surging.
But he stroked his chest and sighed: "I didn't expect the princess to be killed...... Ah Ran's biological mother is really vicious, poor Brother Feng...... If it can't be detoxified, how can it be born? β
Yu Zhou smiled faintly: "The eldest uncle will not give up, and he is even more concerned about the saint and the queen mother, who have been looking for a way to detoxify for so many years...... Jiren has her own natural appearance, and the fifth sister does not need to worry. β
Having said that, in the tall phoenix eyes, sarcasm swept by, and it was obviously insincere.
Yi Jing secretly sneered, it seems that at this time, even if Yu Zhou has no bad intentions towards her, but he is already looking forward to the position of the son, fortunately, after so many things, the king of Chu must be deeply vigilant, and it is not easy for the father and son of the general of Zhenguo to start, otherwise in the previous life, he would not wait until the son of the world "will recover from a serious illness" before using his hands......
Yu Zhou, Yu Zhou, you can't imagine that in this life, it's my turn to use you!
