Chapter 180: The Tragic Cause of Deng and Zhou

ο»Ώ

Auntie, it's dark here, why did you move a low couch down if you were careful? Hurry up and get a brocade mat! A group of palace people hurriedly set up a low couch and laid a brocade mat outside the cell where Liu Ruoye was being held.

I brought a long table of feet, held melons and fruits and tea, and lit a strong incense to drive away the evil spirit. Even the surrounding area was lit with five or six blue gauze palace lamps, which illuminated the dim and damp cell with a strange light and richness

The strong light shone into the cell, and the insects crawling on Liu Ruoye's body were frightened, and many crawled out of her clothes and body and burrowed back into the grass.

But Liu Ruoye doesn't care about these anymore.

Her hands were still clinging to the fence, but the man collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones.

If it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, it would be no different from a dead man.

The palace people suddenly moved so many things at the door of her cell, she didn't even look at her heart, it was dead!

All the way to moving things. Gong Yan quietly retreated, and a gray figure, from the other end of the narrow road, walked over unhurriedly, and the familiar footsteps made Liu Ruoye tremble, as if he remembered something?

The gray-clothed palace maid sat down on the low couch and chuckled.

In the smile, that kind of cheerful pleasure Liu Ruoye vented too much just now, and at the moment she was so shocked that she still couldn't get up, she fell to the ground and asked hard: "Liu Ruo now!" ”

"How does it feel to be asked to die by your own brother and to die a worthwhile death?" Qiu Baoniang β€”β€”β€”β€” this moment, maybe it would be more appropriate to call her Liu Ruoyu, and asked with a smile on her scarred and desperate eyes.

"It's almost as good as before your birth mother died, right?" Liu Ruoye said mockingly: "Isn't my mother also her sister-in-law? Even if you are small, you can protect it. The feeling of fratricide is nothing more than that! ”

Liu Ruoyu's face changed for a moment, and she chuckled: "It's worthy of being the daughter of Guang now, and you still want to calculate me at this time?" You want me to kill you in a fit of rage and you'll be free? ”

"I tested Zheng Cuiye, that idiot, you are not in the Lu Guogong Mansion, she didn't even notice that you are such a person, how did you make her always run to me?" Liu Ruoye did not deny her intentions, but the way she is now, it doesn't matter what kind of intentions she is exposed to.

It's better to solve the doubts in your heart before you die, so that you can know how you failed.

"Why should I tell you?" Liu Ruoyu chuckled, "Now you, are you qualified to ask me?" ”

"You can ask me too." Liu Ruoye immediately said: "After so many years, let's fight all the way, do you have something to be curious about?" What's more, you don't have to rush at all, I knew it was you from the beginning of this matter. But I never know, where are you and what kind of identity are you? I'm worried that I'm going to be involved in Ruowo, and before there is no evidence, I shouldn't be aware of this at all, right? So, it wasn't until now that you appeared in front of me. It's nothing more than because you think that even now that I know you're in charge of all this, the crowd can't do anything about you! ”

She sighed, "I can't help you, what can I do if I thank you?" Her words brought into her choked throats, she had been tortured for so long, her tears had long since dried up, and in prison, drinking water was also a luxuryβ€”she didn't know why she could still cry? Feeling the hot liquid across the corners of his eyes and into his sideburns, Liu Ruoye thought sadly, maybe it's not tears, it's blood, right?

"Since you are idle enough to be in the mood for people to dress up here, you came out to see me, so you can see that you are not in a hurry. Since you are not in a hurry, do you plan to laugh at me here until you leave? Liu Ruoye sighed and said, "Why don't you exchange with me?" ”

Liu Ruoyu said with a smile: "Since you have to ask me, then I'll ask one." She didn't think about it for long, so she said, "At the beginning, Zhong Xiaoyi's younger brother didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he actually proposed to Liu Ruowo for the girl, and you personally forced Zhong Xiaoyi's Shushu to death, why didn't you even let go of Zhong Jie's wife and daughter?" ”

Liu Ruoye thought for a while, as if thinking about what Zhong Xiaoyi was, and then sneered and said: "That Zhong Jie's daughter is not lucky, catch up with me at that time, although Shen Xun used Wei Changjuan to avoid the disaster, but he was also worried about maggots, since he met on the road, he would be angry with it!" As for the wife who thanked him, I didn't tell anyone to do it, probably the Liu family did it ourselves in order to please us? I don't want to think that Zhong Jie has gained some benefits, so he is self-righteous and arrogant, it is a matter of time before this kind of person changes his wife-why should I deal with his wife who was born as a peasant woman? ”

"So there are really vicious people in this world?" Liu Ruoyu nodded calmly: "Such a small child, you are doing it well-I am allowed you to ask me a question." ”

"Who are you now? Emperor Yong's thanks? Liu Ruoye raised his head and looked at her with difficulty, "No, your appearance is not what it was back then, even if it is, now that Emperor Yongdi is on the march, is it easy for you to enter and leave the palace as a concubine?" You can't find people in such a short period of time."

Liu Ruoyu interrupted lightly: "I am the aunt in charge of Queen Qiu's front. ”

"Queen?" Liu Ruoye was stunned, "You are using the power of the queen, how could the queen allow you to kill Zheng Cuiye β†’ Dan?" Zheng Cuiye is the queen's cousin niece! She is also in love with Shen Zangfeng, not Emperor Yong."

"Zheng Cuiye is in love with Lord Shen, but the ambassador in front of Zheng Cuiye has a heart that wants to say thank you!" Liu Ruoyu sneered, "So I told her that if Zheng Cuiye didn't die, it would be impossible for His Majesty to have a maid by his niece's side!" Only if Zheng Cuiye is dead, I will try to get her into the palace to be a palace maid so that it is possible for her to serve His Majesty! And you won't be attacked from anywhere! ”

Liu Ruoye quickly remembered this

Zheng Cuiye's ambassador daughter in front of her once thought that she was the only one with brains in Zheng Cuiye's entourage, but unfortunately Zheng Cuiye had a tricky temperament and didn't listen to anyone's words It turned out that not only Zheng Cuiye was disgusted with her persuasion, but she also had already been evil to follow a master like Zheng Cuiye?!

"There's nothing strange about that." Liu Ruoyu smiled lightly and said, "Ah, she is pretty, she has a mind and a means, Zheng Cuiye is not very good to her, she feels that she can't stand it, she wants to climb high branches, her thoughts are not vicious in front of your mother and daughter!" ”

Liu Ruoye muttered, "But"

"I've thanked you for solving this confusion, now it's time for me to ask!" Liu Ruoyu said impatiently: "What's going on with Deng Wanwan and his wife?" I remember they didn't have a holiday with you, right? Why do you want to kill them? What good is it for you to instigate the discord between the Deng and Zhou families? ”

Liu Ruoye sighed: * Have you forgotten that Ruowo's wife is the daughter of the Zhou family? ”

But she didn't belong to Zhou Jianxian's room? Liu Ruoyu frowned and said, "I see that she hates you very much, and I don't think you will be happy with her, saying that she wants to weaken the power of the Zhou family, why bother?!" This Mrs. Zhou is the daughter of this sect, but she is separated from the current head of the Zhou family."

"Understood?" Liu Ruoye sighed, "At that time, Ruowo was still in Donghu and didn't come back, I haven't seen his wife, how do I know if I will come from where to thank you?" In my kind of realm, am I still qualified to pick my brother and daughter-in-law? How can I not stumble on the girl without taking a pictureβ€”β€”β€”β€” in fact, I want to thank you for the injury\ Lilly! ”

Liu Ruoyu snorted: "Zhou Jianxian is the son of the old head of the Zhou family, their branch, after returning to the imperial capital, there are only three brothers left, as soon as Zhou Jianxian dies, then only Zhou Lixian and Zhou Muxian-Hui also thanked them for finding a Deng Zongqi to be a sworn enemy, as long as you add a little more hands and feet, you are not afraid that Mrs. Zhou's room will not be able to get out of the way, you are really painstaking for Liu Ruowo!" My brother thanked me for not seeing it, and inquired about her family background, and even her mother's heart was. up

"It's really the change of the imperial capital that has caused the noble girl to wither, otherwise what kind of talent would Ruowo thank? Marrying a daughter from a family is already wronged him, and his father-in-law is not the head of the family, how can this work?! Liu Ruoye laughed miserably and said, "You don't have a brother, you won't know"

"I won't be asked to die by my own brother!" Liu Ruoyu simply interrupted her, "But how did you instigate Zhou Jianxian to beat Deng Wanwan to death?" I heard Wei Chang Yu say, you seem to have grabbed Deng Wanwan's handle? How do you have her handle?! ”

As soon as Liu Ruoye heard this, he said: "It's strange that you agreed to solve each other's doubts with me so quickly, Deng Wanwan's matter is what Wei Changying asked you to ask, right?" ”

"You care so much?" Liu Ruoyu sneered, "You just talk about Xun now"

"Huh! It doesn't hurt to tell you now. Liu Ruoye sighed, "Deng Wan's handle, Wei Changyu estimated that it was very clear, what she really wanted to know, I'm afraid it was how I knew these things, right?" Coincidentally, I thanked my nephew from my aunt. ”

Liu Ruoyu was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: * Tongguan was the ancient woman in front of Deng Guifei back then?

* Her nephew has seen Deng Wanwan a few times because of her, and has been in love ever since. But there is a huge disparity in the identities between the two sides, Deng Wanwan was no longer valued by outsiders Deng Zongqi at that time, and it was impossible to marry a subordinate - he was very troubled by this, for fear that his nephew's mind would be known, and the consequences would be unimaginable! At that time, Deng Zongqi was ordered to go to Qingzhou with Gu Yiran and others to meet Zhong Xiaoyi's family, and when he came back, he thanked Deng Guifei in detail, and in order to cut off the thoughts of his nephew, Gu Wei even asked Deng Guishan to marry a son named Wei Qing of the Wei family in Fengzhou.

Liu Ruoye sarcastically said * Yao has no children, he regards this nephew as a baby, and this nephew is very curious, and he always wants to figure out what Deng Guifei asks Yao to do. Because he was tight-lipped, he thanked him a few times and went with him, and sometimes even simply asked him to do those paintings, which he burned them. ”

Liu Ruoyu asked suspiciously: "What painting?" ”

"You tell Wei Chang that she knows what the painting is!" Liu Ruoye smiled and said, "When Deng Wan bent out of the pavilion, he thanked the nephew who wanted to be her dowry, so he was frightened and begged the concubine to thank a certain petty official who was released and drove him out of the imperial capital!" I don't want to be exempt from him, and now in the hands of the Rong people, there was a period of time, I lived in his house, at that time, Deng Guifei was newly deceased, and Deng Wanwan's life and death were unknown-Ji was also depressed in his heart, and he borrowed wine all day long to drown his sorrows, and after drinking, he confided a little I have been grinding for a month, and I have been grinding things out. ”

"Later, when I returned to the imperial capital, I heard that Deng Zongqi showed great ability because of the death and injury of his cousin, and it was very likely that he would be the next head of the Deng family. And Deng Wan bent and thanked Gu Rouzhang and Duanmu Xinmiao, who were good friends with these people - Zhou Jianxian was originally the sister-in-law of the head of the Zhou family, even if his own ability was ordinary, but relying on the identity of the ancestor of this sect, and the support of Deng Zongqi, the famous brother-in-law of Shushu, and Gu Rouzhangβ€”β€”- her influence on the family is not small, Duanmu Xinmiao's current identity, and that medical skill alone is *

Liu Ruoye said hesitantly, "I want to give Ruowo / a father-in-law who is the head of the family, but I also know Deng Zongqi's secret, and I also took a painting that I secretly hid to thank my nephew and grandson - how can it be possible not to use the Deng family to fight Zhou Jianxian?!" ”
