CHAPTER XXIII

The death of the prince and the turmoil in the court alarmed all directions. The various forces are secretly gathered, and the position of Bodu is particularly important. For this memorial ceremony, Bodu sent Dong Yulin to go in person.

Shangguan Ying came to the capital with Dong Yulin, and lived in Junchen Palace because he remembered Jingchen. The death of the crown prince not only dealt a heavy blow to the entire Yin royal family, but also dealt a painful blow to Emperor Yin and Empress Yin, Jing Chen. This sudden change caught the beaters off guard.

Shangguan Ying couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Jing Chen getting thinner: "Third sister-in-law, I can understand your feelings, I think I couldn't stand it when my eldest brother died, but when something happened, we couldn't go back to heaven, the only thing we could do was to live a good life for the deceased." ”

"Because only the living live well is the greatest consolation for the dead."

Jing Chen wiped her tears and looked at Shangguan Ying with a smile: "We Ying'er have grown up, how can I not know this, but my heart will hurt." ”

"Every tree, every flower, and every inch of land in Shuihua Palace has not changed. But there will never be my brother there again....."

Shangguan Ying patted Jing Chen's shoulder: "Yes, the days when we drank together in Shuihua Palace were still like yesterday, but today we are separate." ”

When Shangguan Jun came back, she saw Jing Chen lying on the table, Shangguan Ying lying on top of her, and several empty wine jars lying on the ground. The two of them were already drunk and unconscious. He frowned, sent someone to help Shangguan Ying rest, and carried Jing Chen back to the room.

He put her on the bed, but Jing Chen held his arm and didn't let him go. He shook his head helplessly, letting her hold his arm, he looked at her crying red eyes and thinning face, his heart throbbed inexplicably. He was too busy to take care of her. He wasn't there for her when she needed him most. An inexplicable sense of guilt struck. He was to pick her up and put her in his arms.

Then there was a knock at the door, and he said, "Come in." He thought it was a sycamore, and he didn't care. Stretched out her hand to pick up the hangover soup in her hand, and was about to feed Jing Chen to drink, but she heard a voice: "Slave Biluo, wait for the concubine and the princess to sleep." The voice, the name was inexplicably familiar, and it made his heart tremble.

"Go down, you don't need to serve here....." was still the usual indifferent voice. Biluo nodded and retreated.

It wasn't until she left that he remembered the voice, the name. He even forgot what she looked like, but he still remembered that there was also a woman named Biluo in front of him, trembling, and said to him in a nervous and firm tone: "Biluo has no regrets"

The next day, when Jing Chen woke up, Shangguan Jun had gone to participate in the morning dynasty. Because of the death of the crown prince, Shangguan Jun was also relied on by Emperor Yin. In addition, this counterinsurgency was meritorious, and Emperor Yin specially gave him the value of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and he led the army and government. Although there were voices of dissent in the DPRK and China, they did not dare to make a big statement.

Shangguan Ying got up late because she was drunk, and Jing Chen understood her and ordered people not to disturb. called her little girl over for questioning. This girl grew up with Shangguan Ying. Shangguan Ying married to Bodu, and the little girl followed her as a dowry. Shangguan Ying is to her what Wutong is to her. It's all done with all our hearts.

"Is the prince good to your young lady?"

The little girl swallowed, Wutong couldn't look at her and nodded at her: "Don't be afraid, there are two things to say, there are some things that the princess can give to your young lady." ”

The little girl is also quite clever: "The prince is very good to Miss, everything is based on Miss, I am afraid that Miss will be bored and will build a medicine house for Miss." It's just that..... It's just that Miss doesn't ...... much Always hiding from the world. ”

"Please also ask the princess to persuade Miss well, before getting married, Mama Liu told Miss that the son of the Dong family is his support, without his support, Miss is difficult to do everywhere, but Miss always pushes him to others."

Jing Chen: "Did the prince force her?" ”

The little girl was about to answer, but she heard Shangguan Ying scold: "Shut up." ”

The little girl was busy with her mouth shut and bowed her head silently. He looked like he was about to cry. Jing Chen motioned, and Wutong pulled her away.

"Ying'er, last time I was at home, I didn't bother to ask you, why is this ......?"

"I know, you are not a person who bows your head easily, you said that you accepted this marriage because you and Dong Yulin reached an agreement."

But is it really that simple, at first she was afraid that Dong Yulin would embarrass her, but because of her identity, even if Dong Yulin was embarrassed, I was afraid that Dong Wangye would not allow it. Now listening to her little girl's meaning, it seems that Shangguan Ying doesn't want to flatter Dong Yulin. Since she couldn't change it, she wanted her to try to accept Dong Yulin.

But I heard her say: "Third sister-in-law, I won't be bound by anyone, I used to think that it would be good for us to live our lives without interfering with each other, but then I finally understood what I was looking for, and I made up my mind that one day, I would leave him." ”

"Ying'er," Jing Chen was about to persuade her, but was stopped by this Ying'er, and when she turned around, she found that Shangguan Jun was back, followed by Dong Yulin. Dong Yulin was cold, his expression was cold, and he looked straight at Shangguan Ying. Shangguan Ying bowed her head and was silent.

Jing Chen pulled Shangguan Jun and wanted to leave, Shangguan Jun didn't move, Jing Chen pleaded and looked at him, and he softened and left with her. After the two left, Dong Yulin walked up to Shangguan Ying with a cold face, pinched her chin with his hand, and forced her to look at herself word by word and said, "You say what you said just now, say it again in front of me." ”

Shangguan Ying pushed his hand away, but he pinched it again. She looked at him angrily and was about to say, "I .....," and he kissed him. Shangguan Ying refused, but he didn't let go, pushed her into the room, and closed the door with his feet. The action is done in one go.

He tore at her clothes, and Shangguan Ying was startled, so he was ruthless and bit his tongue. He was angry and gave her a hard push. She stumbled her head on the corner of the table. It hurts and tears fall.

Dong Yulin scolded angrily and slapped the table with his hand. "If you want to leave the Dong family, you have to agree with me. However, at this moment, you have to put away your careful thoughts and obediently be your princess. Looking at her tears falling again, he sneered: "Don't say I don't agree now, even the third brother who loves you won't agree."

"From the first day of marriage, I said that I never forced you, and you don't have to pretend to be a chaste martyr, and we didn't do it..... passed, Shangguan Ying angrily stretched out his hand to give him a palm, but he dodged it.

He looked at her and said coldly: "Even if I, Dong Yulin, am no longer human, I will never do anything to force women." "If it weren't for you..... After a pause, he said, "You want to leave me, and ..... in the future Look at your performance....." and then left without looking back. The door slammed into the sky.

"Ying'er's business, you don't care, let her make her own decisions, okay?" Yin Jingchen pleaded and said to Shangguan Jun.

Shangguan Jun pulled her into his arms: "Not now." ”

Jing Chen's heart trembled, and he was stunned for a moment: "It's ....."

Shangguan Jun turned her body and looked her in the eye and said, "I know that you feel sorry for Ying'er, and I can't help it, but now I can't help her." ”

She didn't understand that now the Yin Dynasty was calm on the surface, but in fact the dark tide was turbulent. The death of the crown prince was only an introduction. On the surface, both the military and the government have been classified as centralized power, but internally, there are many political parties, and the theory of salt and iron has only just been implemented economically. However, the Dong family is exactly what Emperor Yin needs to woo, and it is also a magic weapon for the Shangguan family's business to gain a foothold in Bodu. Dong Yulin, they can't afford to offend......

The Yellow River flooded, and the people sang that Emperor Yin implicated the innocent, causing heavenly punishment, and the people were unhappy. Emperor Yin was furious and sent Shangguan Jun to Shaanxi to deal with all the matters. Shangguan Jun personally went to the disaster area to rescue the people in distress like timely rain. It also evacuated the people in time and dredged the river. A temporary disaster relief team was set up to actively distribute money and food, which attracted a lot of applause from the people. Soon, Shangguan Jun's reputation spread in Shaanxi. It attracted many people from top to bottom of the court.

"The third child, this time I really won a lot of hearts for the emperor." Shangguan Han said to Shangguan Xiongji with great relief.

Shangguan Xiongji was silent, and then heard him continue: "We all paid for the disaster relief this time?" You are really generous enough, and the emperor is probably more dependent on our family. ”

Shangguan Xiongji took a sip of tea and said slowly: "A companion is like a tiger, but the body of Emperor Yin after the death of the crown prince is not as good as before, and some things are really powerless..... Now, the third child is in the middle of the court....."

Shangguan Han broke out in a cold sweat; "What do you mean..... Impossible, there has never been such a precedent, the third ....." Shangguan Xiongji glared at him, and he was busy keeping his mouth shut.

Shangguan Xiongji warned: "Rotten the words you just said in your stomach." ”

Shangguan Han nodded. I heard the old man say, "After the New Year, you can go back and take your grandmother and mother over, I'm afraid you will have to live here forever in the future." In the future, you will have to participate in all matters of the Salt Division," Shangguan Han agreed one by one.

As soon as Shangguan Han came back, Li Yuni sensed that something was wrong with him, and this was one of the few times he had panicked. She pressed him and he didn't answer. She was in a hurry, and he lost his temper with her. Li Yuni was so angry with him that she didn't bother to pay attention to him, and fell asleep by herself with the child in her arms.

Since Shangguan Ying and Dong Yulin quarreled face-to-face, Dong Yulin left Shangjing first. Shangguan Ying returned to Bodu later, and this time it was more than a few months. Shangguan Ying returned to Bodu, and he never saw Dong Yulin, and since he came back from the capital, Dong Yulin has been busier. Bodu, mostly ethnic minorities, is a tribal gathering. Dong Yulin's ability to grasp real power from various ministries was not won by force alone. Besides, Dong Yulin is not a martial artist, and his resourcefulness and foresight may make many opponents unable to sleep. Guan Ying is convinced of this. So she is still afraid of him sometimes, afraid that she will inadvertently fall into his trap.
