Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Collapse of Yazhu

At noon, the sun is shining.

On this day, there was a terrible scandal in the palace, and I don't know where the gossip came from, and the streets and alleys of the imperial city were talking about it at that time.

"Eh, have you heard, I heard that the young master of the Zhao Mansion, Zao Wouji, defiled the princess of the northern kingdom last night, tsk......t"

A vendor on the street bun shop stall crossed Erlang's legs and said to a few people who were also stalls around.

"Really? Which princess of the northern kingdom are you talking about? It can't be the Jade Concubine, right......"

"Wrong, but I heard that this tainted princess of the northern kingdom is the sister of the Jade Concubine, and it is said that it has something to do with the Jade Concubine."

"Really?! That Zao Wou-Ki was so ridiculous that even the princess of the northern kingdom dared to touch it, he was really a beast. The man said with wide eyes as he nibbled on the butter cake in his hand.

"I also heard about it, saying that it was found in the palace post house this morning, and there were still a lot of onlookers at that time, so the princess probably even thinks of dying now......"

"But no, then Zao Wou-Ki is really a cowardly embryo, he really thinks that the world is all his Zhao family's ......"

"Shhh, be quiet, if the people of the Zhao Mansion hear this, you will lose your life......

“……”

Praruo Lang was going to wait for Xiao Zhao's news in the palace today, but she couldn't help but go out of the palace to investigate in person, but she didn't think that she would hear such explosive news when she walked to the street of the imperial city, but she didn't believe it, after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes.

"Ruolang."

Just when Praruo Lang was in a trance, a clear voice came, Pra Ruolang looked for the sound, and saw an elegant carriage parked not far away, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a slender and thin jade finger, Jiang Qianyue looked at this side with a faint expression.

"Weak Son." Pra Ruolang looked at Jiang Xiaoyue in the car and smiled.

"Do you want to go for tea together?" Jiang Qiaoyue asked.

Praruolang thought about it, she didn't know where to go now, so it was better to be invited to drink tea with Jiang Qiaoyue, maybe she could change places to ease her anxious mentality.

"Okay."

"Do you want to ride in a carriage together?" Jiang Xiaoyue smiled.

"Isn't walking good?" Pranya Lang tilted his head and asked.

"Yes, too." After that, Jiang Wanyue got out of the carriage.

The two went to a teahouse called "The No. 1 Product in the World", and seeing that Jiang Qiaoyue was familiar with this teahouse, Praruo Lang thought that he should be a frequent visitor here.

The two of them sat in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, which was very well seated and could have an unobstructed view of the most prosperous streets in the imperial city.

"What do the two guests need?" The teahouse guy asked Jiang Qiaoyue and Pan Ruolang with a respectful chin.

"Biluochun." Jiang Xiaoyue said lightly, looking at Pan Ruolang.

"I want Junshan Silver Needle." Pranya Lang looked at the guy and said.

The man retreated, and soon served two small plates of different tea leaves and a unique tea set, and was about to make tea for the two of them, when he was interrupted by a cold voice.

"You go out, I'll come." Jiang Xiaoyue said lightly to the guy.

After the guy withdrew, Jiang Qiaoyue showed a complicated tea art to Pra Ruolang.

"I have never drunk tea with hot water, but I didn't expect that making a cup of tea could be so cumbersome." Praruo Lang silently looked at Jiang Xiaoyue's gentle and skillful movements and said.

"I just know a little about the tea ceremony, and it's good to use it for self-cultivation." Jiang Qiaoyue pushed the cooked Junshan silver needle in front of Praruolang and said.

Pranyo Lang took a sip and praised: "The tea cooked by the hands of the weak Yue Gongzi is really mellow and fragrant, and the mouth is fragrant. ”

Jiang Qiaoyue smiled softly after hearing this, continued the movements in his hand, and said: "The first time I saw you, I was sitting in the current seat and tasting Biluochun, watching you being entangled by a woman and asking for marriage. ”

"Then you must have thought I was a man at the time, and you thought that I didn't know how to reject someone's beautiful girl." Pranya laughed to herself.

"At first, I just thought you were funny, but I didn't think much of it."

"Makes you laugh." Pranya smiled awkwardly.

"I heard that you are going to marry King Chen in a few days, congratulations." Jiang Xiaoyue said lightly and tasted the Biluochun in his hand.

"How did you find out who I am?" Pranya frowned, she hadn't told him her true identity.

"If you want to know, you'll know." A cold smile hung on the corner of Jiang Wanyue's mouth.

Praruo Lang didn't know what to say, so fortunately he turned his head to look out the window and saw a soft sedan chair with dark cloud patterns passing by on the street, and frowned.

Jiang Qiaoyue looked at it with Pra Ruolang's gaze, and said lightly: "King Chen's special soft sedan chair, look at this direction, it just came out of the palace. ”

Pra Ruolang didn't let go of his brows after hearing this, thinking that at this time, it was estimated that Xiang Shaoqing had just come out of the palace and was about to return to the palace, so I wonder if Xiao Zhao also came back? Thinking about it, he turned his head to Jiang Xiaoyue and said:

"I'm really sorry, Ruolang still has important things to do first, and next time I will have tea with the weak Yue Gongzi." After that, Praruo Lang had already gotten up, put the money bag on the table, and said:

"I don't know if this silver is enough for today's tea fee, if it is not enough to supply the weak prince next time, I will take the first step."

Jiang Wanyue was stunned, and when she saw that Pra Ruolang put down the money bag, she hurriedly left the private room, looked at the money bag on the table and sighed, and said to herself helplessly: "What can make you so panicked?" ”

After that, he looked out the window at the soft sedan that had gone away.

At this time in the palace-

Yazhu's face without powder was completely bloody, and the two lines of tearful pear blossoms brought rain, and her eyes were red.

"Why is this happening?" Yazhu's voice of pain and remorse sounded, and she grabbed the glass cup on the table with one hand and smashed it to the ground.

Concubine Yu looked at the mess all over the ground and sighed helplessly, seeing Yazhu's haggard appearance, her heart was also uncomfortable, her eyes were full of distress, and she said helplessly: "If you smash my Jade Pool Palace again, you will go bankrupt." ”

"I obviously watched King Chen drink wine with my own eyes last night, and I sent someone to send him into the post house, why isn't that person him today......" Yazhu sobbed.

"What? Did you give King Chen a drink of Lanling wine? Concubine Yu said in surprise, why didn't Yazhu tell her about this in advance?

It is no different to say that ordinary Lanling wine is drunk by ordinary people, but this special Lanling wine from the north is made by adding wild deer antler velvet from the snow-capped mountains of the north and 49 kinds of cold-resistant herbs to brew and ferment.

The northern country is located in the cold, and generally men will drink this Lanling wine to fight the cold, but it also needs to be drunk with food made of tanshinone to have an effect.

"I'm just a ghost for a while......" Yazhu was a little weak-hearted.

"You're so confused, why didn't you even consult me in advance, and then you took the initiative to do such a thing?!" Concubine Yu said hatefully that iron is not made of steel.

"The wedding of Praruolang and King Chen is coming, how can I not be in a hurry? You've always advised me to stay quiet, but what's the use? If I had told you beforehand, you wouldn't have allowed me to do that. ”

Yazhu was a little aggrieved, her sister knew her heart for King Chen early on, not only did she not help herself, but she always didn't let her do anything, did she even have to be deprived of the right to pursue happiness for herself?

"Heh, do you blame others for being stupid?" Concubine Yu sneered, she still wanted to get rid of Praruolang for her, but she didn't expect her sister to be so impetuous and overwhelmed.

"Sister, why are you still laughing at me now, but what's wrong with me? Why can Ruolang marry King Chen as a matter of course, and I am also a princess, why can't I! The more Yazhu cried, the more sad she became, and she looked at Concubine Yu stubbornly.

"Hey, you're ......"

"Niangniang, the villain has something to report."

Concubine Yu's words were interrupted by someone who came, frowned, looked at the eunuch who came in, and said lightly: "Say." ”

The person who came was the eunuch of the Jade Pond Palace and the confidant of the Jade Concubine. Seeing that Concubine Yu didn't seem to intend to avoid Princess Yazhu's matter, she said truthfully:

"There was news from outside that the woman was robbed in the middle of the night yesterday, and everyone was stunned, and when they woke up today and saw that the woman was gone, they immediately sent news to the palace."

"What! The woman was robbed?! Concubine Yu stared at the eunuch with wide eyes, and her heart sank suddenly.

"What woman?" Yazhu asked, puzzled.

"The maid that Pranya Lang brought from the country of Yunuma." Concubine Yu closed her eyes and said weakly.

"I wanted to rob her handmaid and lead her to the bait, and then get rid of her. Yesterday, the palace maid in the Taichen Hall was my person, but I didn't expect that the palace maid to miss yesterday, and now even people have disappeared out of thin air, but Praruolang is safe and sound, and now even her maid has been rescued. ”

Yazhu's mouth grew when she heard this, and she said in a daze: "Sister, why didn't you tell me about this......"

"Didn't you tell me about your incident, after all, our sisters are too conceited and underestimate King Chen and Praruolang......" Concubine Yu sighed leisurely.

"What! King Chen? Could it be that he did both of these things? I don't believe it! Yazhu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"My silly sister, do you think that King Chen is really such a manipulative character?"

"What...... What do you mean? ”

"It seems that King Chen is not as absurd as the rumors, but has a lot of scheming." Concubine Yu muttered as she stroked her growing belly with one hand.

"Could it be that Zao Wou-Ki and I really designed it?" Yazhu burst into tears and almost wanted to fall.

Concubine Yu couldn't bear to look at her like this, so she turned her head to look out the window and said, "I heard that yesterday after Pan Ruolang changed his clothes and returned to the Taichen Hall with King Chen, it just so happened that the palace maid I arranged was also missing, and then something happened to you...... Don't you understand all this......"

Crystal tears slid down Yazhu's pale and weak face, Yazhu's lips trembled slightly, and she squatted on the ground with her head in her hands with an uncontrollable scream.

"How could he be so cruel to me...... How can it be ......"

"Someday I'll get justice for you." Concubine Yu said seriously, her eyes full of distress.

"What am I going to do now...... Sister, I don't want to marry Zao Wou-Ki......" Yazhu sobbed, remembering last night's madness, but what she saw this morning was Zao Wou-ki's face, and she was about to vomit with disgust at the thought of it.

"Don't worry, I won't let you marry him, it's just that he is the son of the Zhao family after all, and it's not so easy to move him, after all, there is still a current queen mother in the Zhao family, although she is not in the palace now, but the emperor will also scruple about it......" Concubine Yu sighed.
