Chapter 65: A Tooth for a Tooth
After experiencing the events of the past few days, Zhou Yunyi was so tired that she exploded, and she didn't have time to rest and relax, so she specially ordered her palace maids to help her boil a bucket of hot water today, so that she could take a comfortable hot bath.
Zhou Yunyi soaked in the hot water bucket, sprinkled with many red rose petals, these rose petals were planted by special people in the palace, to pick the freshest roses, and then simply cleaned and transported to Zhou Yunyi for bathing.
Of course, these roses only serve a decorative role and visual enjoyment, and if they are really fragrant, they still need to use scented soap.
However, Zhou Yunyi felt that soap was mainly used to clean the body, she just wanted to take a comfortable bath today, and she just cleaned in a hurry every day, and she didn't have time to enjoy it.
When Xiao Chengze came, Zhou Yunyi was still soaking in the bathtub.
"You're here?" Zhou Yunyi yawned tiredly.
Xiao Chengze said: "Are you tired these days? But I really have to work hard for you for a while, and when this thing passes, I must treat you well. ”
"Are you painting me a flatbread?" Zhou Yunyi joked.
"What draw flatbread? You're hungry again. "Xiao Chengze doesn't understand what it means to draw a big pie?
"If you want some late-night snacks, I'll let the kitchenette make some right now."
At this point, the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room have already left the palace, so they can only cook some ordinary food in the small kitchen.
"That's not what it means. Drawing a flatbread means that you give me some promises. Zhou Yunyi said with a smile as he lay on the side of the bucket with his hands.
"It's like you told me before that as long as I give birth to a boy, I will immediately make him the crown prince, and I will be the queen mother in the future." Zhou Yunyi used what Xiao Chengze said before as an example.
"It turns out that drawing a flatbread is the meaning of a promise!" Xiao Chengze understood.
Xiao Chengze learned Zhou Yunyi's tone and said, "That's right, this is the pie I painted for you." ”
Zhou Yunyi couldn't laugh, Xiao Chengze was too coke.
Xiao Chengze is talking about his heart seriously, he has always thought so, and he expressed it like this, he believes that he and Zhou Yunyi will definitely grow old, if the two of them can really have a son, it will definitely be a meaningless prince.
If Xiao Chengze had died earlier than Zhou Yunyi, Zhou Yunyi would have naturally succeeded in becoming the queen mother.
After laughing, Zhou Yunyi also realized that everything she said to Xiao Chengze was true, so she shouldn't laugh at her like this.
One should not laugh at a person who holds his heart to himself.
Zhou Yunyi came out of the barrel, wrapped his clothes and hugged Xiao Chengze, "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep!" ”
The two of them were lying on the bed, but they couldn't sleep over and over.
"The bed in the palace is really much more comfortable than the bed in the tent, but why can't I sleep?" Zhou Yunyi lay on his side on the bed and raised his own questions.
"You can't sleep, not because the bed is uncomfortable, but because you have something on your mind." Xiao Chengze hugged Zhou Yunyi in his arms.
It seems to be the same thing, after all, Xiao Chengtian has not been completely convicted now, Xiao Chengze can't keep detaining him in prison, if he doesn't find a suitable reason, I'm afraid he will release Xiao Chengtian in a few days.
Zhou Yunyi recalled that when Xiao Chengtian was taken into custody, his unbridled smile and inexhaustible tone could be seen that he was basically unscrupulous now.
That's right, Xiao Chengtian's biggest fear before was Concubine Zhang, but now Concubine Zhang's time is running out, and she is holding on every day, wanting to see her grandson born.
Once Zhou Lingyi's own child is really born, after the concubine Zhang satisfies her last wish, I am afraid that she will not have this spiritual pillar to live, and she will immediately fall apart.
Xiao Chengtian will also deal with Xiao Chengze because he has no scruples.
"Cheng Ze, you will protect my sister and the child in her womb, right?" Zhou Yunyi now desperately wants to have a promise, a promise about the safety of Zhou Lingyi and the child in her belly.
Zhou Lingyi is pregnant with Xiao Chengtian's child in her belly after all. Zhou Yunyi is now a little afraid that after the death of Concubine Zhang, Xiao Chengze will continue to use the child as a threat to control Xiao Chengtian.
But then again, Xiao Chengtian is a person who is close to madness for power, does he really care about the safety of his children's lives.
"I swear, I will never hurt their mother and son." Xiao Chengze held up his three fingers and swore to the sky.
"Okay, I trust you."
Zhou Yunyi also felt that Xiao Chengze would not do those dirty things that hurt his sister and the child in his belly, but he still felt that he would be more relieved if he said it from Xiao Chengze's mouth in person.
Zhou Yunyi said: "Chengze, I'm afraid there is no hope for Su Gu Chacha, today Imperial Doctor Xu came to the palace to take a look at her again, Su Gu Chacha's current pulse is very weak, I'm afraid it will be able to hold on for another two or three days." ”
Su Gu Cha is already considered fateful, and there are many people who have suffered from that kind of poison and have a bad physique, and it is estimated that they will die at that time.
Because he has exercised since he was a child, his physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, and the treatment is relatively timely, so he can survive for four or five days.
Judging from the current situation, it is very hopeful to wake up, let alone point to Su Gu Chacha to accuse Xiao Chengtian of various crimes.
"In this case, there is no way over there, Xiao Chengtian is in prison, and he will not admit his crime to death, I have no suitable reason, and there is no way to sentence him, at most, I can reduce his anger with the charge of lax discipline and inadequate inspection, and take back his land and property." Xiao Chengze also has a headache now, this problem.
Xiao Chengtian is now unwilling to admit it at all, biting to death, everything is Su Gucha's fault, he doesn't know.
Su Gu Chacha's identity is very special, she is the daughter of Su Gu Tusi, and Su Gu Tusi has attacked Great Xia before.
Therefore, it sounds reasonable to send his daughter to infiltrate Daxia to steal information and disrupt the situation.
Xiao Chengtian has relied on this set of excuses to delay until now.
The ministers of the court looked at this matter in the same way at the beginning, especially the Yang family, whose family originally meant that some walls and grasses were falling on both sides, but now seeing that the original old master was about to fall, he seemed loyal again.
also took Xiao Chengtian's set of rhetoric to persuade Xiao Chengze to let Xiao Chengtian go and dispose of Su Gu Chacha.
Su Gu Chacha has already become like this, so what's the benefit?
Zhou Yunyi said: "Chengze, since the court has become like this, if we can't produce strong evidence, I still have nothing to do with Xiao Chengtian." ”
"I suggest that the two of us don't do it and start from behind them." Zhou Yunyi said a bold idea.
"You want to assassinate Xiao Chengtian." Xiao Chengze didn't know that the little woman lying next to him actually had such a big brain.
"Yes, anyway, he couldn't bear it first, so how can he blame us for being unjust? Whoever is more noble than the two gentlemen, whoever is more noble will win, and the lower limit of the two villains will be lower than whom, and whoever is more shameless and despicable, who will be able to mix well. ”
"And if it's a gentleman and a villain, one wants to win, and the other wants to win by unscrupulous means, who do you think can win?"
Xiao Chengze could understand what Zhou Yunyi said in his words, this was to let him let go of the so-called gentleman's burden, and compare the lower limit with Xiao Chengtian.
Since Xiao Chengtian can plot against him in secret, he can also get Xiao Chengtian in secret.
Zhou Yunyi has already thought about the plan very well. "Anyway, now that Xiao Chengtian is being imprisoned in the prison, let's just get some poison for him to eat."
"And then to declare that he was seriously ill in prison, and then set his bones on fire and burned them to ashes, who can verify it? People get sick anyway, don't they? ”
"How could you suddenly think of this?" Zhou Yunyi has always been a little girl who is ignorant of the world in Xiao Chengze's new appearance, and today, Zhou Yunyi's remarks made Xiao Chengze couldn't help but sigh that he wanted to get to know her again.
Zhou Yunyi said: "I used to live too comfortably, so I thought the whole world was like this, but recently I realized that it was the people around me who protected me too well, so I didn't come into contact with this sinister thing in this world." ”
Zhou Yunyi has been a rich lady since she crossed over, someone has taken care of her, and someone is in pain, although her life is a little boring, but she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking!
After entering the palace, although Zhou Yunyi was still more comfortable at the beginning, because Xiao Chengze doted on her more, she still simply thought that her life was not so dangerous.
It wasn't until Xiaocui's death that she realized that there were dangers everywhere in the palace.
The trip to Dongshan confirms this point, in this ancient feudal society, the power struggle is something that the royal family cannot escape no matter how it evades, and it will inevitably be fought for in the blood, and you will die.
From this point of view, Zhou Yunyi can't escape, so in this struggle, he hopes that Xiao Chengze can win.
If Xiao Chengze wants to win, Xiao Chengtian must die.
"I'll think about it." Of course, Xiao Chengze also understands that the plan Zhou Yunyi said is very simple to implement, and if it really succeeds, even if someone will make trouble, but in the end, no evidence can be found, so he can only die without proof.
But he's always wanted a better solution, not a dead one.
"Yunyi, you said that if our two brothers were born in an ordinary world, what would happen to them?" Xiao Chengze suddenly thought of such an idea.
