Chapter Seventy-Five: To Kill or Not to Kill
The doctor was soon here. It was Li Ningluo's usual doctor, he looked around, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry Mrs. to the room, there is no way to diagnose the symptoms now that there are many people." ”
"Yes." Someone immediately agreed, and the old lady took the palace maid to carry Li Ningluo away. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care about Xu Biyi, he ordered someone to take care of Xu Biyi, and then followed Li Ningluo into the room. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by the doctor and said, "Guogong, please be considerate of the villain and wait outside for a while." The villain must do his best. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you must do your best, cure your wife, I will be rewarded." ”
"The villain obeys." The doctor agreed, and hurried into the room. Zhu Yuanzhang walked around outside, fidgeting, and only heard the painful moans of a woman coming from the room.
I don't know how long it took, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, it seemed like half a lifetime was so long, and the voice in the room gradually lowered. Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tightened, and he wanted to lift the curtain and go inside. happened to collide with the doctor who came out. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his face to look at the doctor, and hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is the situation?" How are the kids? And what about the lady? ”
"Qi Guogong, please atone for your sins, the villain has done his best. But the lady lost too much blood, and the child was ...... He can't keep the child anymore, it's still a baby boy...... It is the villain who is ineffective in doing things, and the villain is willing to lead to death. Yes, at present, the lady's body is still weak, and the villain still needs to condition the lady's body, so he can't die for the time being, and after the lady recovers, the villain is willing to die immediately. The doctor looked flustered, and said that the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't mention how angry he was.
The doctor's face turned pale, and he kept kowtowing and said, "Alas, it's so pitiful." Poor Guogong's child died before he was born. It was still a formed baby boy, the villain had thought..... I wanted to find a place to bury her, but Mrs. Li refused, she was crying with the baby in her arms now, it was so pitiful, alas, ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang kicked away the doctor, strode into the room, and sure enough, he saw Li Ningluo's face as white as paper, her eyes were gloomy, she was holding a baby covered in blood and crying bitterly, the baby had been formed, and it could be seen that it was a baby boy, but it was covered in blood, and in the eyes of people, it was extremely terrifying.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and immediately thought that the baby was originally his own child, and the disgust in his heart suddenly disappeared. He thought of his first child, who died so inexplicably, and the grief and indignation in his heart were beyond words.
"Child, my child ....." Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward slowly, looking at Li Ningluo and the child, heroic tears couldn't help but flow down his cheeks. The so-called heroes may not be really without tears, but they are not sad yet. That's about the case.
Li Ningluo cried even more fiercely when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming. She cried: "My lord, Guogong, please must be the master of our children, please be the master of our children, please be the master of our children, please be the master of our children......" She said more than a dozen times in a row, saying the same thing, and there was nothing else.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart sank, and Xu Biyi's face was suddenly reflected in front of him. Just now, if Xu Biyi hadn't bumped into Li Ningluo, Li Ningluo would not have lost his child, making Zhu Yuanzhang shatter a dream of being a father.
Xu Biyi!!
Xu Biyi!!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he read Xu Biyi's name. He gently patted Li Ningluo's shoulder and said to her, "Ningluo, you are obedient, let the child be buried alive." We must have a very cute child, not one, but many, many more. Take care, don't worry, I will definitely call the shots for our children! ”
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he strode outside. He had just walked three or five steps, and Li Ningluo suddenly shouted loudly behind him: "Guogong!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what happened to her, so he stopped. Li Ningluo said: "Guogong, please don't punish Mrs. Xu. I don't think she did it on purpose, let's not say whether she did it on purpose, now Marshal Xu Da Xu Da is guarding the front line of Yingtian and confronting Chen Youliang, if the adult punishes Mrs. Xu, and Marshal Xu is angry, he is the enemy of the adult, then wouldn't Ning Luo be guilty of killing the head? Guogong has lost his child, and I don't want Guogong to lose even the country. ”
Li Ningluo's crying and shouting seemed to be thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was indeed said in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, like a big stone. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally jealous of Xu Da, but now when he heard Li Ningluo say this, he felt even more angry. He said in a loud voice: "You don't have to worry about these things as a woman, I have my own measure!" With that, he walked out.
Li Ningluo looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and walked out angrily, and suddenly smiled, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. She threw the dead baby in her hand on the ground, called the black-clothed grandmother and said, "Hurry up and bury this dead baby, it will make me bloody and dirty." ”
The black-clothed grandmother didn't say a word, and buried the dead baby.
Li Ningluo was not pregnant in the first place, let alone had a miscarriage. The flower cat suddenly appeared and pounced on Xu Biyi, because the flower cat was the person next to her, and it had already been trained, so it would pounce on whoever it pounced on. As for Xu Biyi hitting her stomach, it was even simpler. She was originally behind Xu Biyi, and when she took advantage of the flower cat to pounce on Xu Biyi, she walked forward, hit her stomach against Xu Biyi, and then crushed the fake blood bag that she had prepared earlier, creating the illusion of blood flowing.
The doctor was originally the person next to her, and this dead baby was someone else's premature baby that the black-clothed grandmother bought from outside and killed it temporarily, so as to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang. According to Li Ningluo, she originally wanted the black-clothed grandmother to find a dead baby, but the old woman felt that the baby who died early was afraid that she would not be able to win Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, so she innocently killed a life.
Li Ningluo said to the black-clothed mama: "Mama Zhuang, so far, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang kills Xu Biyi, our task will be completed." ”
"Yes." The old woman replied: "From the time you sent me to pretend to be Xu Biyi to flirt with a man with ventriloquism and deceive Zhu Yuanzhang to the present, although it took a lot of effort, it was just that I finally lived up to Lord Zhang's trust." I hope Zhu Yuanzhang can be ruthless this time and don't let us waste our efforts. ”
"Hmph," Li Ningluo snorted coldly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, I know the best." If he hadn't killed Xu Biyi just now, maybe he wouldn't have killed Xu Biyi, but after listening to what I said, it would have been impossible not to kill Xu Biyi. ”
The two of them were talking, and suddenly a maid came to report, saying that Xu Biyi's personal maid was coming. Li Ningluo's eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "Pass." ”
The old woman quickly took away the dead baby, and the room was still filled with blood. Lian Xun walked in, looked at Li Ningluo, who was full of sorrow, and called out timidly: "Mrs. Li." ”
Li Ningluo nodded, as if he was holding back his sadness, and asked, "Ripple, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Yes." Lian Xun quickly took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, this is a letter that Mrs. Xu asked me to send out." Mrs. Xu also knew that this catastrophe was inevitable, and she was afraid of any danger, so she wrote a letter and sent me to find a way to send the letter to the Yingtian front line and send it to Marshal Xu and the Chu military division. Of course, I did not dare to slack off, and immediately came to Madame with this letter. ”
"Okay, you're doing well." Li Ningluo's eyes were faintly cold, and there was a little appreciation, he said: "You immediately went to Guogong with this letter, and said that Mrs. Xu sent you to find a way to send the letter to the front line to Marshal Xu and the Chu military division, I think Guogong will definitely not treat you badly." You can go with confidence. ”
The rippled body trembled slightly, her eyes were full of doubts, and she looked at Li Ningluo suspiciously, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't say it. Li Ningluo sneered: "Don't worry, you do your best for me, I won't treat you badly." Now that the Duke of Guo wants to execute Mrs. Xu, he can't find any suitable reason, so if you hand over this letter, it will be said that Mrs. Xu sent you to hand it over to Marshal Xu and the Chu military division, and you want to rebel against you. You say, "Will the Convention treat you badly?" ”
As soon as Lian Xun heard this, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly returned: "Lian Xun understands, Madam really doesn't treat me badly, thank you, Madame, Lian Xun will go to find Guogong." After saying that, he took the letter and left happily.
The old woman who was hiding behind the curtain, after watching her leave, said with doubts on her face: "You really have to let her go like this?" And let her bring a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang? Aren't you afraid that she will betray you if she knows too much? I think you're being careless. ”
Li Ningluo shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not." This woman was originally a person who coveted power and glory and wealth, and with such a good opportunity, how could she not fight for it, and how could she betray me? I believe that she will definitely go to Zhu Yuanzhang as I say. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw her, he would naturally read this letter and be angry because of it. This maid, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let her go in the end. Does Zhu Yuanzhang want his family's ugliness to be publicized? So you can rest assured. It's just that so far, there is one person who I have never been very relieved about. ”
"Who are you talking about?" The old woman looked at her indifferently: "Now that Chu Liuyan is not here, can anyone else influence Zhu Yuanzhang?" ”
"Yes, there is one, and that person is ...... It's Ma Xiuying. Although Zhu Yuanzhang may not like Ma Xiuying very much in his heart, he has enough respect for Ma Xiuying. The last time Ma Xiuying was poisoned, she may not have suspected me. Now, she is Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, and in order to maintain her status, she will also deal with Xu Biyi, but she will not allow me to be alone. Therefore, if Zhu Yuanzhang kills Xu Biyi, Ma Xiuying will definitely not ignore it. That's what worries me. ”
"Will Zhu Yuanzhang listen to Ma Xiuying and let Xu Biyi go?" The old woman was a little disapproving: "On weekdays, I see that although Zhu Yuanzhang is also polite to Ma Xiuying, he doesn't look very favored. ”
"You're right, it's just that they are a couple in distress after all, and the affection between them is beyond what you and I can understand."
.......
Li Ningluo was discussing with the old woman how Zhu Yuanzhang would deal with Xu Biyi. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has also returned to the lobby, ready to bring Xu Biyi for questioning.
Just at this time, Ripple arrived with letters. Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the little maid beside Xu Biyi wanted to see him, thinking that she was here to intercede for Xu Biyi, so he said with disdain: "Drag it out and kill it, a little girl dares to come here to offend, and she has to intercede for her master, my father-in-law will not tolerate the murderer of my son so easily." ”
"Qi Guogong, according to the maid, she didn't come to intercede, but she had a letter to give to Guogong, and that letter was entrusted by Mrs. Xu to Marshal Xu and the Chu military division, she didn't dare to hide it privately, so she came to see the marshal with the letter."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the letter was handed over to Xu Da, he immediately became vigilant, and he was in a pang in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Pass it quickly." Call her in immediately, I want to see if Xu Biyi has anything to say to Xu Da. ”
"Yes." The guard agreed, and went to spread the ripples.
After Lian Xun came in, she saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and she was a little scared in her heart, she thought of what Li Ningluo said to herself, as long as she was as dense as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not treat her badly, and she felt that she had the courage again, so she hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace and told her intentions.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to stop her from continuing: "Didn't you say that there was a letter?" You show the letter to your father, and the father-in-law forgives you for your accomplices, that is, you know to report it on your own initiative, and I will reward you heavily. When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his eyes were full of coldness.
Where did Lian Xun notice this, she heard that Zhu Yuanzhang would really reward herself, not to mention how happy she was.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter and read it slowly. Every time he looked at a word, his eyes would be a little colder. By the time he had finished reading the entire letter, his face was filled with cold frost.
"Come, take her out, reward her well, it must be the best." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ripples meaningfully and said. The guards beside him observed the words and immediately took the ripples away. It's just that he was pitiful and was used by Li Ningluo, and finally ended up being killed by Zhu Yuanzhang and not knowing it until he died.
Zhu Yuanzhang read the content of the letter, and his resentment towards Xu Biyi couldn't help but deepen a few points. Xu Biyi actually put all this responsibility on herself and Li Ningluo, as if she was really innocent, it was really tolerable, and it was unbearable.
The resentment in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was accumulating more and more, and he forgot about the war on the front line for a while, and he couldn't take care of Xu Da's taboos, and the anger in his heart still made him lose his mind.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's blue face, he naturally understands that Wu Guogong's mind is not good, and Zhu Yuanzhang is on an errand in Wu Guogong today, and he must not take it lightly, if there is any negligence, if he is not thoughtful enough for a while, I am afraid that he will be punished by Wu Guogong. Some obedient slaves and maids have already avoided it, and there are only some responsibilities, and they can't leave without permission, so they have to serve Zhu Yuanzhang carefully.
Everyone has the idea of walking on thin ice in their hearts, so they naturally don't dare to have the slightest slackness, but it seems to be earnest and gratifying, but in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, although these subordinates respect themselves very much, but after all, they are still slaves and subordinates, and I am afraid that Xu Biyi's affairs have already caused a storm in the city.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not want to take Xu Biyi's matter as a talking point in the mouth of the servant slaves in the mansion, nor did he want his family scandal to be publicized again, although Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply remorseful in his heart, but he also decided to make a decision on this matter today, no matter what, he must first bring Xu Biyi here, give her a charge, and put Xu Biyi to death, so as to deter others, so that other people in the mansion will not dare to discuss this matter again.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, shouted violently at a servant who was waiting by his side: "You go and arrest Xu Biyi's cheap woman to the Duke of China, the Duke of the Kingdom must kill this cheap woman this time, the Duke of the Kingdom doesn't care how his brother wants to protect his sister, the Duke of the Kingdom wants to kill this now." ”
When the servant heard that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, actually said such evil words, he was shocked in his heart. Some people can't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been gentle and polite, would do this.
Zhu Yuanzhang's gang actually wanted to take another opportunity to attack General Xu Da's sister. This is not what Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong has always done, and he keeps saying that Xu Biyi is a cheap woman, which also makes the servants extremely surprised for a while, and they don't want to believe their ears.
The look on the servant's face was naturally seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it slightly, and naturally had a plan in his heart, knowing in his heart that the servant must be decided, his words were too intense.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang softened his tone and commanded the servant in front of him: "You just have to rest assured, it's not that the Duke of China is willing to do this, but the current Duke of the State has to do this, the Duke of the Kingdom asked you to bring Xu Biyi here, and you will bring her to the eyes of the Duke of the Country, and the Duke of the Kingdom will naturally not blame you in the slightest." ”
The servant heard it clearly, it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not a dream, they actually happened, Zhu Yuanzhang just said bad words, naturally it was also directed at Xu Biyi, and there seems to be no doubt about this matter at the moment.
The servant still learned about this from the soothing eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, but what Zhu Yuanzhang said himself was indeed the same.
I heard that after Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang beat Xu Biyi last time, the subordinates in the mansion didn't quite understand why Wu Guogong did that.
