Zhao Dagongzi has a well-proportioned figure, and his legs and feet are also quite neat. Xiao Rongshen had just turned his head, he had already run a long way, Xiao Rongshen crossed his waist and frowned, looking at Zhao Gongzi's back, and his heart should be panicked. This is also called a man? When he causes trouble, he has a lot of temper, and when he really encounters stubble, he will only slip away.

"Stop!" Xiao Rongshen frightened everyone present.

Zhao Dagongzi hugged the firewood and grass, and grinned with his back to Xiao Rongshen. He's really a candy man this time - it's too big.

Xiao Rongshen took a few steps forward, stepped under the steps of the prince's mansion, and looked up at Yuan Xi: "Crown princess, this king knows that you are protecting your shortcomings, but you are not a protector like you." The torches in the hands of the people of Zhao's house are about to light up the entire capital, but you said that you are here to deliver firewood and grass, what are you fooling the ghost?" he raised his hand and pointed at the eldest prince of Zhao: "Zhao Jing, as an official of the imperial court, he knows the law and violates the law." Besides, besieging the Prince's Mansion is a great crime of rebellion, shouldn't he be dealt with strictly?"

Yuan Xi ignored it, and only glanced at Zhao Jing: "Uncle, what did the prince ask you, why did you bring so many soldiers to send firewood and grass?"

Zhao Jing looked back at Xiao Rongshen in a daze: "This ...... Later, he met a man who bought firewood and grass, and his firewood and grass were cut from the mountain, so the villain bought his firewood and grass. As for these government soldiers, they were just brought by the villain who was lazy for a while. ”

"And the prince, did you hear what Zhao Gongzi said?"

Xiao Rongshen stared at Yuan Xi for a while, and said indifferently: "I heard it clearly, this king heard it clearly, it's all fucking bullshit!"

Yuan Xicai didn't care whether he believed it or not, he just raised his hand: "Whether the prince believes it or not, the prince's mansion is also like this." Now that Zhao Gongzi has made it clear. And the prince, there will be no guests every night, and the prince will please take care of himself. ”

Xiao Rongshen stood with his waist crossed for a while, his face twitched violently a few times, presumably clenching his teeth.

"Withdraw!" Xiao Rongshen finally waved his hand helplessly, and retreated from the street with the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion. Xiao Rongshen nunu sneered: "Wei Yuanxi, you can protect him for a while, I don't believe you can protect him for a lifetime, today's matter is not over, you wait to explain it to the emperor for him." ”

As soon as Xiao Rongshen left, Zhao Jing threw away the firewood and grass in his hand and sat on the ground for a while. He had several ups and downs this afternoon, and finally escaped death.

Yuan Xi looked at Xiao Rongshen's back until he disappeared into the night. 、

Mother Zhong pulled Yuanxi: "Niangniang, he's gone, let's go in too." ”

Zhao Jing was still sitting on the ground, Yuan Xi glanced at him faintly, turned around and entered the prince's mansion. Zhao Dagongzi got up with a grunt, ordered his subordinates to retreat first, and followed up with the prince's mansion himself: "The last general, Zhao Jing, thanked the crown princess for her grace and rescue." ”

His kneeling made Yuan Xi feel a little ironic, what kind of thing is it from a small courtesy and a big festival?

"Gao Feng Liangjie?" Yuan Xi turned around and glanced at Zhong's mother.

"Well, yes, the crown princess is high-spirited. Although the sister offended the crown princess before, and the last general was also abrupt and offended you, you still didn't care about us, and helped the last general get rid of the crime. The last general's family is grateful. ”

Yuan Xi didn't speak, but Mother Zhong snorted disdainfully.

Zhao Jing was stunned: "What, did the last general say something wrong?"

Yuan Xi said coldly: "Zhao Gongzi, listen well, this concubine is not what you said, what your Zhao family has done to me before, this concubine is not unclear, let alone careless." Everything that Concubine Ben did today was for the sake of the crown prince. If you really want to thank the prince, thank the prince for his face. ”

As soon as Yuan Xi's words were finished, Zhao Jing's face was immediately clouded. It turned out that there was still a feud. Zhao Jing stood up slowly, and he was not as polite as Fang Cai.

"The last general understands that the crown princess has hatred in her heart for that incident. But who can say clearly about the infighting between the royal family in the palace?"

Falling down from such a high platform, such a heart-piercing pain, such a heart-wrenching child, and such a longing child finally became empty. He only couldn't say a word, and then it was over?

Yuan Xi looked at him indifferently: "Zhao Gongzi, today you just listened to Wei Yuanjia's provocation, saying that I cut your sister's tongue, and you mobilized everyone to come to me for trouble." Your whole family and the people of the palace are colluding together, killing my children, and framing my innocence, so Zhao Gongzi will not speak? This kind of person is too shameless, right?"

Zhao Gongzi tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking a little impatient.

"Zhao Gongzi, take those broken firewood of yours and go back. The gate of the Prince's Mansion is not what you want to climb, Concubine Zhao has married the Prince, this person today, you will definitely not be able to take it away, if you are not convinced, just call your people to come and smash the Prince's Mansion, but I respect you as a man. The question is, do you dare?"

Zhao Jing pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva heavily, and buried his head low.

"If you don't dare, go out, don't force me to force the palace in the future!" Yuan Xi said, and walked away.

"Let's go, Zhao Gongzi, don't make the princess unhappy anymore. Mother Zhong raised her hand and let Zhao Jing out.

Zhao Jing stood at the door of the Prince's Mansion, looking at several large bundles of hay in a daze.

He really felt that this crown princess was inexplicable, since he knew that the crown prince could not afford to provoke the Zhao family, then why did he show off his power in front of him? Since he knew that the crown prince had to maintain peace with Shangshufu, what was he doing with the child's affairs? It seemed that he had sacrificed a lot, but in fact, he didn't fancy the Zhao family's status and connections?

Zhao Kezhen had been waiting in the flower hall, and she heard the conversation between Yuan Xi and Zhao Jing clearly just now. Zhao Kezhen was worried in her heart, Wei Yuanxi did not rectify the Zhao family today for the sake of the prince, and in the future, the prince will pass this difficulty, will Wei Yuanxi still have any scruples?

However, whether to make peace or forbearance, Zhao Kezhen has not yet made up her mind. But there is no hesitation that no matter which path she chooses in the future, she must be respectful to Wei Yuanxi during this time.

Yuan Xi walked into the flower hall with an expressionless face, and caught a glimpse of Zhao Kezhen, Zhao Kezhen stood up and let Yuan Xi sit down. Instead, he knelt at Yuan Xi's feet and kowtowed respectfully.

"The conversation between the eldest brother and the mother, the concubine heard it, and the concubine made amends for the eldest brother to the mother. ”

Mother Zhong didn't expect Zhao Kezhen to have this play, looked at Yuan Xi for a while, turned around and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Xi.

"Concubine Zhao, what kind of crime are you paying for?" asked Mother Zhong.

Originally, it was not the turn of Mother Zhong, a slave maid, to ask, but Zhao Kezhen couldn't care about any master and servant at this time, and she was inferior. He replied respectfully: "The concubine's brother is ignorant, and he led troops to surround the prince's mansion, and his sin is unforgivable. Niangniang relieved the siege of the Zhao Mansion, although it was for the prince, but the blessing was also to shelter the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was inexplicably grateful. What the Zhao family did in the past couldn't stand the mother, it was the Zhao family who was ignorant, but now that they have received the great favor of the mother, the concubine has become more and more guilty. ”

This is like a human saying, much more sensible than the inexplicable expression of Zhao Dagongzi.

Yuan Xi took a sip of tea and glanced at Zhong's mother. Mother Zhong said: "Concubine Zhao, Niangniang asked you to get up and speak." ”

"So, Niangniang forgave the concubine?" Zhao Kezhen asked.

Forgive?Won-hee's fingertips touched the flat lower abdomen.

remembered that rainy night in the Prince's Mansion, Wei Yuanjia poured her a bowl of safflower and caused her to lose her child. That kind of heartache, no one will understand. So in this life, when Yuan Xi knew that she was pregnant with Rong Zhan's child, she had an irrepressible ecstasy in her heart. She thought that her child was back, however, the child was taken away by Zhao Kezhen in a similar way.

How could she forgive? Yuan Xi's eyes became more and more gloomy, so gloomy that a kind of fear gradually sprouted in Zhao Kezhen's heart.

"Niangniang, it's all the concubine's fault, how you punish the concubine, it's all the concubine should receive, the concubine is just afraid that you will hold the pain in your heart and hurt your body. ”

Mother Zhong sighed for her teeth, as if she had eaten a green sour plum. Zhao Kezhen's words are simply the most fake and sour set of statements that Zhong's mother has heard in her life.

"Concubine Zhao, Niangniang is tired, you can go back first. Mother Zhong said and helped Yuanxi: "Niangniang, the slave will help you back to the room to rest, right?"

Mother Zhong helped Yuan Xi to go to the bedroom, and the gravel road that she walked on daily was extremely slippery because of the accumulation of a thin layer of snow. Mother Zhong held it firmly and instructed: "Niangniang beware of your step, this road is very slippery." ”

Suddenly, Yuan Xi stopped and looked at some pebbles scattered in the bamboo forest on both sides. Yuanxi glanced at Zhong's mother, Zhong's mother understood, picked up one and handed it to Yuanxi, and asked, "Niangniang, is there anything strange about this stone?"

Yuan Xi frowned and was silent, the bamboo forests on both sides were previously piled up with a thick layer of dead leaves and dead branches on the ground, and these pebbles were inconspicuous. These stones are noticeably smoother than the ones under your feet. Yuan Xi squatted down and grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it on the pebbles, which were as if they had been smeared with a layer of oil, shining brightly.

Mother Zhong was surprised: "It's really weird, where did these pebbles come from." Mother Zhong called the servants and maids who were in charge of cleaning the courtyard to inquire, and they all shook their heads without exception.

A little girl said: "This stone was not there two months ago, and then I don't know who piled it up here, these stones are very beautiful, and the slave maid thought it was a stone used to pave the road, so she didn't pay much attention to it." ”

Two months ago?Won-hee breathed a long sigh of relief, these pebbles, I'm afraid someone deliberately piled them here. Zhao Kezhen, Zhao Kezhen, it turned out that when she killed her child, she still kept a hand.

If Concubine Liu Guifei in the palace misses, she will mix pebbles on the stone road here. The cobblestones are smooth and inconspicuous on the gravel path. Especially in winter, when it is covered in snow, you will fall heavily if you step on it.

In the first few months, the fetus of a pregnant woman is unstable, and if she is thrown like this, let alone the child, I am afraid that even her life will not be saved.

Yuan Xi gradually clenched the stone, Zhao Kezhen, you are so vicious.
