Chapter Eighty-Eight: Forbearance for a While

"I'm going to hate Big Brother? What does the second brother mean by this? ”

Zhan Xiaokong pretended not to understand.

"When I think back to that time, I still remember it vividly, and I was terrified......

"What the hell is going on?"

"I remember that night, I drank some wine and went to the garden to cool off slightly drunk, but I didn't want to hear the fifth brother's cry for help near the lotus pond.

At first, I thought I had drunk some wine, but I misheard, so I walked slowly to the lotus pond to find out.

I didn't think about it, I just went around the rockery, I heard someone in the water fluttering, and hurriedly ran over to check, but saw a figure flash over the other side of the rockery and disappeared.

And the water surface also returned to calm, I really thought that it was because I was drunk, so I had auditory hallucinations for no reason, and after standing for a while, I went back to Jueyuan.

It wasn't until the fifth brother was fished out of the lotus pond on the second day that I realized that everything last night was not an illusion......

I found my father and told him everything I had heard that night, and he ordered to look for clues around the rockery and pond, but to no avail.

But I recalled afterwards that although the figure was fast, it was in too much of a hurry, and it left evidence. ”

"Evidence? What evidence? Zhan Xiaokong's face was solemn.

"That person, when he was in a hurry, the jade pendant on his waist bumped into the corner of the rockery, leaving small fragments, and the broken jade was red!"

"Red?"

"In the palace, only the eldest brother likes to wear Nanhong jade, who doesn't know his close-fitting Nanhong Vermilion Bird Jade?"

"Afterwards, the second brother went to verify it?"

"Of course, this matter can't be played, at the beginning of my discovery, I called several rich sons in the imperial city to ask the eldest brother to go to the Phantom Mansion to drink,

hid in the private room next door, and while the eldest brother was drunk, he personally inspected his jade pendant. ”

"What was the result?"

"His Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant is missing a corner, and you can't see it at all if you don't look closely."

"Did the second brother tell his father about this?"

"At that time, I really wanted to tell my father, but then I thought about it, and with just a piece of jade pendant, I wanted to identify my brother.

It's too risky, and my father knows that I don't have a good relationship with my eldest brother on weekdays, and I'm afraid that my father will think that I use the topic to play.

deliberately framed and framed, who can believe that the great son who enjoys all the favors and is blessed on weekdays will kill his young brother?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! ”

Zhan Xiuxian seemed to recall this past, his eyes were warm, as if he was reminiscing about his deceased fifth brother.

If Zhan Xiaokong didn't know who he was, he might have been moved by his feelings, however, he knew that this was not the case.

What Zhan Xiuxian said was full of loopholes, but he couldn't debunk it!

"Second brother...... I still can't believe it..... The eldest brother will kill the fifth brother. ”

Zhan Xiaokong said intermittently, his face full of disbelief.

"I know, it's hard for you to accept this for a while! At that time, I also digested it for a long time! ”

"Second brother, I want to calm down and calm down......"

Zhan Xiaokong held his forehead with one hand, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

"Good! Stop the car! Zhan Xiuxian lifted the curtain of the carriage and ordered, "Find a place to rest for a while nearby." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers outside the carriage listened to the order.

After a short time, the team set off again, Zhan Xiaokong stayed in the carriage by himself, and Zhan Xiuxian got out of the carriage and rode with him.

"Humph! In order to win me over, this wolf did not hesitate to make up such lies and blame the eldest brother for the death of the fifth brother.

He wanted to separate the relationship between me and Zhan Taixian, and dragged out the old things of the fifth brother, which was undoubtedly the most effective.

If you want me to help you get rid of your eldest brother and help you ascend to the throne, I'm afraid your dream is ridiculous!! ”

Through the gap in the car curtain, Zhan Xiao stared at Zhan Xiuxian's back.

"Since I have chosen to forbear, I will be with you to the end, and from this day onwards I will be your most faithful dog.

Waiting for the day when you will soar, and then pull you off the altar from behind! ”

Zhan Xiaokong closed his eyes again, not wanting the hatred he showed to be looked at by others.

The fox prince had been gone for three days, but Si Yanyin didn't feel very relaxed.

As usual, when she gets up in the morning, she habitually goes to the door of the third prince and knocks on the door.

Before lunch, I often forgot that the son was not there, and ran into the study to call him.

"Why did this guy just leave? And went to such a dangerous place......"

The master is not there, the coke is broken, he works for two days, the yard is swept every two days, and the clothes are also saved.

Although the third prince didn't care much about the affairs of the Yuyuan in the past, the master sat in the battle, and the subordinates didn't dare to be lazy.

Now that this 10,000-year-old mountain carving has actually left the palace, the people of the Yuyuan are also like monkeys who have sprinkled joy, and they don't know what to do!

Si Yanyin went to the laundry room with a bunch of people's clothes, but stood at the gate of the courtyard but didn't go in for a long time.

She still remembers how she broke up with Mama Zeng last time, will it be a little embarrassing to meet today?

She wanted Caijuan and Xin'er to come over to deliver clothes, but she searched around the yard but didn't see their shadows.

These second sons are not in the palace, they shouldn't go to Ye Boat Pavilion again, right?

No matter what, in the end I decided to go by myself, and if I didn't go again, I would have to save a bunch of clothes.

"Mama Zeng? Mama Zeng? In the end, Si Yanyin still walked into the laundry house.

"Mama Zeng?"

She called a few times, but there was no shadow of Grandma Zeng, she put her clothes by the pool, and went into the house.

I saw Mama Zeng lying on the bed, her face full of tiredness.

"Mama Zeng, what's wrong with you?" Si Yanyin hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Me..... Nothing to do..... I'm getting older, and the weather has been getting cooler lately, so I'm just a little windy. ”

"Have you seen the doctor?"

"No, no, no, look at the doctor....... cough cough ......."

"No, you're sick like this, why are you still holding on?" Si Yanyin was a little anxious, this Mama Zeng was the closest person she had in the palace.

Although she has a strange temper and loves to talk on weekdays, she doesn't want her to have an accident.

"The princess doesn't have to make a fuss, she has been like this for a few days, and now she is getting better,

You can't take this medicine all the time, and if you always eat it, it will become a medicine jar......."

"But ......"

"Okay, sit down and talk to me, I'm sick! It's more than half better, my heart is sick, I guess it's suffocating.

I was not treated well in the palace, no one talked to me, and I finally had a princess, princess, but I disliked the old body......"

"Mama Zeng, I have never disliked you!"

"Hahaha, the old body is just a joke, the princess doesn't have to take it seriously, the old body knows that the princess can sympathize with my good intentions,

Even if you don't like me for a while, you can figure it out in a few days when you go back......"

"Mama, I really don't dislike you, you are also the only person in this palace who can talk to me......"

"I heard that the third son is out of the city?"

"Well, I just left the day before yesterday and went to the south."

"Oh, it's okay or not, it's finally out of the palace......"

"What do you mean, Mama? The third prince was also forced to go this time, and the prince originally arranged for the eldest prince. ”

"The princess doesn't understand, whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince, it will be a difficult opportunity.

The old man still thinks that it is better for the third son to go. ”

"A rare opportunity? How dangerous it is to go to war! Even if you only stay in the rear barracks, it is not very safe. ”

Si Yanyin retorted.

"Since the prince is willing to send his two sons to go, he already knows the battle situation in the south, and he is not completely sure.

How can you be willing to send your son into the mouth of the tiger? This Prince Zhan is now in charge of the government, and there is no need to sacrifice his son in exchange for the country.

He will be over half a hundred years old, how can he be allowed to have no queen? ”

"Aren't there still a few sons?"

"Although this palace is not a palace, it is also full of crises, the prince has few heirs, and the princes are not useful.

The sixth son died young, and the fifth son drowned in the pond and died violently.

The eldest son is stubborn and incompetent, the third son can't lift his legs, and the fourth son is taciturn and withdrawn, only the second son seems to be the most impeccable on the surface.

It's a tiger and wolf ambition again. ”

Mama Zeng sat up from the bed and put the pillow behind her.

"How does Mama know who the second son is?"

Si Yanyin was puzzled, this Mama Zeng was just a laundry mama, she didn't go out of the door on weekdays, and she didn't step out of the second door.

"I used to serve the prince in the palace, when he was still a little prince, his skin was tight, and he was not afraid of heaven and earth.

Even the emperor is not afraid, but he is only afraid of me. ”

"Afraid of you?" Si Yanyin's eyes widened: "Why?" ”

"Because, ah, he is disobedient, I will not tell him ghost stories, nor make him delicious pastries,

I won't make kites for him, children, the most greedy thing is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun, who can use it for them,

Naturally, they will listen to whomever they want......"

"Mama, what a trick."

"Later, when the prince grew up and became a prince, he moved out of the palace, and I followed him into the palace.

The prince has always respected me, and his mother died early, and I have always been by my side to take care of me. ”

"But why is Mama in the laundry now?" Si Yanyin was puzzled.

"However, I am a native of Kunjiang, and since the birth of the third son, the relationship between Kunjiang and Xunche has begun to collapse day by day.

In order to be afraid of the big wind of the tree, I was found out of my ancestral hometown, so I asked the prince to resign on the grounds of my body, and the prince was reluctant to let me go.

I was afraid that I would be helpless after leaving the house, so I was placed in the backyard, and there were maids to help with laundry on weekdays, and I didn't have to do it myself. ”

"In this way, the prince is really grateful to Mama!" Si Yanyin sighed.

"That prince, in my eyes, will always be a child who is noisy to play, and several princes,

It's also that I watched grow up, and the ambition of the second son has been exposed since he was a child! Where can you see it with a discerning eye? ”

"But the second son is the most popular among all the sons!" Si Yanyin said.

"What's the use of provoking a woman? If there are more women, there will only be more rights and wrongs! ”

Mama Zeng sighed and shook her head.
