Chapter 8: You're Alive
Song Liangchen sneered: "You don't care what she does, if she has a scar, she will have a scar, and she will be an ugly monster anyway." ”
Ning Chun'er's eyes widened, and her little head shook like a rattle: "The princess is very good-looking, except for the scar on her face, her appearance is seven points more beautiful than Sister Wen!" ”
Wen Erya was stunned, slightly displeased: "Sister Chun'er is really anyone, and she can compare with me." ”
That widow is seven points better than her? What are you kidding, this Ning Chun'er is really annoying all the time, isn't it demeaning her identity to say this in front of the prince?
"Okay, I've already ordered, there is only one concubine in the firewood room, except for the two mothers-in-law who are guarding, the rest of the people are not allowed to approach, Chun'er don't worry about it." Song Liangchen waved his hand and said, "Let's go back, I'll go to the study to read tonight." ”
Wen Erya pursed her lips and stepped back to salute, and Yu Shi also got up and saluted, and retreated respectfully. Only Ning Chun'er stayed in the room and asked more: "Master, the princess is very good, why don't you like her?" ”
Song Liangchen said with a cold face: "Do you still need to ask?" If it weren't for her, this wouldn't be the case now! ”
If you don't repay the revenge of the mandarin ducks, how can you be worthy of waiting for him for five years?
Ning Chun'er tilted her head: "But, are you sure that if you marry the wrong thing, it must be the princess who did it?" ”
Song Liangchen: "......"
He can't be 100% sure, but he's 70% sure! Now that he and Xinyue are so miserable, they can't let her live alone, even if there is no evidence, but this house is his biggest, who can help him?
Ning Chun'er saw that his face was not very good, shrunk his neck, and quickly retreated after saluting.
The prince is like this, he is always willful, and no one in the house can control him, whatever he says, that's what it is. It's just that the poor princess was locked in the firewood room as soon as she entered the door, and the people below who tended to be inflammatory, didn't know how to chew the root of their tongue.
As the night grew darker, Shen Meijing picked up the firewood in the firewood room, fiddled with the three-foot-high shelf, laid two layers of dry straw, and finally spread the quilt and blanket that the servant brought her.
Where to sleep is not sleeping? The firewood room in the Xu family has slept for half a year, and the firewood room in this Shizifu is spacious and clean, and there are no snakes, insects, rats and ants. There are also windows on the walls, and when they are opened, a cool breeze blows in, neither hot nor cold.
Picking up a sturdy wooden stake and standing on the side as a hanger, Shen Meijing took off her robe and lay down on the quilt.
After a tiring day, she just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
“… Great view, great view. ”
Someone was calling her, and it was very gentle. Shen Meijing turned over and muttered a few words, and the man chuckled and pinched her nose: "Little lazy worm, how can you sleep like this?" ”
"Zijin?" When she opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the man in front of her clearly, she sat up in shock: "You ......"
How could it be here!
Xu Zijin was still wearing his favorite Li blue smoke robe, and looked at her with distressed eyes: "What's wrong?" ”
Meijing looked at him stupidly, reached out to touch his face, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears: "You are still alive, I am injured, you will come to see me." ”
"Fool." Xu Zijin gently stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms: "I have always been with you, all the time." ”
As soon as his throat choked, Meijing couldn't help rubbing on his shoulder, like a child, whimpering while rubbing: "Liar, you said to accompany me, why didn't you come out until I married someone else?" Aren't you sad? I'm married to someone else! ”
Xu Zijin stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly, his slender fingers white: "I'm sorry, it's my fault that made you suffer a lot." ”
"Is it your fault?" Meijing looked up and looked at him pitifully: "They all said that I killed you." ”
"How did you kill me?" Xu Zijin chuckled and pinched her nose again: "Being able to marry you is the luckiest thing in my life, as for life and death, it is all in the number of fate, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Is that so? Meijing flattened her mouth: "You always coax me." ”
Xu Zijin lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "I love you." ”
My heart trembled, followed by a pain, and my whole body convulsed. Meijing just wanted to open her mouth and say that I love you too, but before she could say it, the thick fog in front of her seemed to suddenly disperse, and the whole person woke up.
When I opened my eyes, the sun was already shining through the window, and it was dawn.
Looking blankly at the empty surroundings, Meijing reached out to wipe the tears from her face and took a deep breath.
"Is the princess awake?"
"I don't know, it's locked up inside, and there is no need to send food and drink anyway, and no one cares about her sleeping all day."
The two mothers-in-law outside the door sat bored on the steps, and the one surnamed Luo had a broken mouth, and couldn't help muttering: "It's spread up and down in our house, saying that the one locked up inside is amazing, killing his parents and killing his husband." I was not satisfied with marrying to make a continuation for Lord Yan, so I had to change my position with the Jiang family, tsk, how vicious do you say this heart is? ”
"You listen carefully, she hears you." The surname Zhang said: "No matter how you say it, now she is also the princess." ”
"What are you afraid of, if you starve her for three days, her life will be gone, and she will return to the princess?" Luo Pozi snorted and said: "I didn't take her to heart when I saw the prince, this punishment is to die." If we don't starve to death of thirst after three days, the prince may have to blame us. ”
"That's right, then don't be sympathetic for a while, bring her food."
"You are, don't be bribed, just buy something for her."
"How is this possible, when she was locked up, the prince didn't even give her a hairpin left, and bribed her with beauty? I don't accept it! ”
The two mothers-in-law talked and laughed, and the beautiful scenery was clearly heard inside. Song Liangchen wants her to die like this? That's too much to underestimate her!
"Both." The voice of Jinyi sounded outside the door: "The sun is scorching, and there is no place to take a cool breath, why don't you come over and use some watermelon?" ”
The two mothers-in-law raised their heads, looked at Jinyi, and knew that this was the maid who served the nobles in the upper room, so they both smiled and said: "The girl in Jinyi has a heart, but the prince has ordered, we will not leave here an inch." ”
"There is still a lock on the door of this room, are you still afraid that people will run away?" Jinyi said: "Or do you think this melon is thin and unworthy of the entrance?" ”
"Where's the girl?" Luo Pozi smiled, turned her head to look around, and made sure that there was no one, so she pulled Zhang Pozi and followed Jinyi to the gate of the courtyard.
As soon as he left here, the jade food stepped on the stone and climbed over the wall to enter, leaned over the window of the firewood room and knocked lightly.
Shen Meijing reacted very quickly and leaned over, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she just picked up the small burden that Yushi threw in.
Without saying a word, Yushi stepped on the same path and left.
Shen Meijing opened the bag with three packets of dry food, three water bladders, a small purse, and a note next to it.
"The master forgives his sins, the family rules are strict, don't dare to commit it, you can only send food and water, and bet on the loss of one or two hundred and one copper, I hope the master takes care."
According to the rules, Jinyi and Yushi are maids who specialize in serving the princess, which does not mean that they are maids who specialize in serving her Shen Meijing, because the princess is likely to be replaced, but these two well-trained maids will not be changed.
She is now in a state of distress, the position of the princess seems to be unstable, and there is no need for brocade clothes and jade food to risk being discovered by the prince to send her things.
And yet they came.
Shen Meijing pinched the small purse, opened the kettle and took a sip of water, and decided to write down this kindness.
The mother-in-law outside came back after eating melons and couldn't help but open the door and look at her.
"This ......" Luo Pozi looked at the neatly arranged firewood in the room and the bed made next to her, a little dumbfounded.
Meijing had already hidden her burden in the middle of the firewood that made the bed, looked at them with a smile and said, "But what's the matter?" ”
"Nothing." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, she didn't want to see a widow, and she always felt unlucky. But the princess in this world is a little peculiar, and she is still in the mood to clean up the firewood room, and even put the soft straw aside, what is this for?
After looking around, they didn't find anything hidden, so the two mothers-in-law withdrew.
Shen Meijing hummed a little song and began her plan to eat a full stomach. Dry food would keep her from dying, but it was definitely not something to feed on, and she had to think of other ways.
In the main courtyard, Song Liangchen leaned on the head of the bed angrily, and a maid came in to change his clothes, and his legs trembled with fright.
"What's wrong with the master?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.
Song Liangchen didn't speak with a dark face, he couldn't say that he didn't sleep well all night last night, and he dreamed of Shen Meijing, right? What kind of spell did that woman put on to toss him for a night! In the dream, he kept asking him if he was going to kill her, if he was going to kill her.
It is clear that she can't live in order to calm his anger, what's there to ask, just want her to die!
When I woke up, I felt in a terrible mood, and I couldn't see anything. Although he knew that he might not be able to starve a person to death in three days, he didn't even listen to Jiang Xinyue's words and punish her more. I don't know if it's because the tea she brews is too delicious, or because the piano she plays is too beautiful, he actually feels a little pity.
I really can't forgive myself, I clearly said that I would protect Jiang Xinyue for the rest of my life, but she ruined half of her life, and she couldn't decisively kill the person who killed her.
He found a reason for himself, after all, Shen Meijing was a member of the Xu family, and she died just after she got married, and it was difficult for her father to explain it, so she had to die slowly, and she had to find a suitable excuse to perfunctory, so that she could be sent on her way logically.
After thinking about it a few times, his face looked better, and after changing his clothes, he summoned someone to ask, "How is the firewood room?" Did the woman cry? ”
"Hui Shizi, no." Luo Pozi said: "The princess is very quiet, and even cleaned up the firewood room. ”
