"Fourth sister-in-law rest in peace, I'll see you later." Jiuzhu stood up, carried her skirt and walked out. When she went out, Yun Yanze, who looked haggard and was almost unsteady, bumped into the steps and made a big split. Sitting on the ground, there is no gentleman's manners at all.
"Fourth Prince!" The palace people panicked and helped the pale-faced Yun Yanze up from the ground.
The other princesses silently glanced at Sun Caiyao, who was lying on the bed, and didn't feel embarrassed to speak. Okay, how to say those unhappy words, so that the fifth sister-in-law can't care about her, so she can only target her husband.
"I'm sorry, fourth brother." Jiuzhu bowed: "I was worried about the fourth sister-in-law's body just now. I lost my mind and didn't notice you. Please forgive me."
"No problem." Yun Yanze's voice trembled in pain.
"The fourth brother is indeed a gentleman among people, benevolent and generous." Jiuzhu saluted again, turned around and took the people who were serving in the Qilin Palace, and left with publicity.
The other three princesses kept embarrassed smiles on their faces when they saw that things were going on like this.
"Bai Shao, you don't need to wait here, step back." Yun Yanze glanced at Bai Shao who was standing in the corner: "The medicine is cold, and I will fry another bowl for the prince and concubine."
Bai Shao said, "The slave servants let others come in and serve."
"No, I'm here to accompany her." Yun Yanze walked to the bed and gently held Sun Caiyao's hand: "I'll accompany the princess to talk for a while."
"Yes." Bai Shao hesitated for a moment, then bowed and walked out.
Quiet in the house.
"The world will not reveal secrets, only stones and dead people." Yun Yanze took out a small bottle from his sleeve. Before Sun Caiyao could react, he put a towel around her neck and put the contents of the bottle into her mouth. Irrigation.
Sun Caiyao, who had a small birth, had no physical strength, and was pressed by Yun Yanze's throat, so she couldn't even make a cry for help.
She opened her eyes and stared at him sternly.
The fourth prince, who has been both civil and military since childhood, wanted to kill her easily.
"Your Highness!" Bai Shao's voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Yun Yanze's voice sounded extremely calm.
"Prince Chen is here."
Why is she here again? Thinking of being knocked down by Ming Jiuzhu just now, Yun Yanze let go of Sun Caiyao, folded the towel into a neat square, placed it next to Sun Caiyao's pillow, and whispered, "Think of your good brother, and then speak slowly."
"Please come in, Princess Chen."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ming Jiuzhu lift the curtain and enter directly: "Fourth Sister-in-law, your mother is pity for your lost child, and there is no elder to take care of you, so I have been specially sent to pick you up at Mingyue Palace for cultivation."
"Cai Yao, as a junior, can't disturb her mother." Yun Yanze half-squinted his eyes: "What's more, women shouldn't see the wind after a miscarriage, so it's better not to move."
"The queen mother is kind and considerate, so she naturally thought of this. Fourth brother, don't worry, the mother specially prepared a soft sedan chair for the fourth sister-in-law to shelter from the wind and rain." Jiuzhu walked to the bed and looked at Sun Caiyao, whose shoulders could not be controlled, and sat down. Beside her, he held her cold hand: "Fourth brother refuses like this, is it because he doesn't trust his mother?"
Yun Yanze looked at the hands that the two held together: "It's not that I don't trust the queen mother, it's just that the two of us are deeply in love, I really can't bear it..."
"Fourth brother, this is the decree of Empress Yi, do you want to resist the decree?" Jiuzhu took out the phoenix order and made it clear that she would not give in an inch.
The palace people serving in Zhang Liugong were all stunned, and the other princes and concubines who rushed over to hear the news were also very surprised. Ming Jiuzhu, who usually smiles and is kind, has never been so rude to people.
Wang Huai stood in the yard, tugged at Princess Huai's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "The fifth younger sibling looks at someone who is not so stingy, why did the fourth younger sibling say something to her, and she moved the queen out?"
Princess Huai slowly shook her head, there was a strange smell to this matter.
"Sister-in-law four." Jiuzhu took out a thin red gauze from her sleeve and put it on her face: "It's windy outside, cover your nose and mouth so that your spleen and stomach are not cold, I'll take you to Mingyue Palace."
Sun Caiyao was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Jiuzhu's hand tightly, never wanting to let go.
"Fourth brother, please let me go." Jiuzhu bent down and hugged Sun Caiyao.
Yun Yanze stretched out his hand to stop him, and Jiuzhu frowned: "You not only want to resist the decree, but also want to do something to women?"
While he was stunned, Jiuzhu passed him.
"Ho!" King Huai's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "The fifth siblings have the strength."
"Shut up!" Princess Huai couldn't wait to plug his mouth, glared at him, took three steps in parallel, and stepped forward to help Ming Jiuzhu lift Sun Caiyao.
Concubine An recovered from the shock, and followed the past to help Sun Caiyao put on the scarf to prevent the wind from entering.
The three of them helped Sun Caiyao into the soft sedan chair. Princess Huai was the first to marry into the royal family, and she had a good impression of Jiuzhu.
not to mention…
She looked at Sun Caiyao's hand tightly grasping Jiuzhu's sleeve, it was not like she was afraid of Ming Jiuzhu, but more like she was afraid of her leaving.
Princess An usually cares about eating, drinking, and having fun. Seeing her sister-in-law's serious expression, she didn't dare to say more. She whispered to Jiuzhu: "The fourth younger brother and sister are not feeling well, so she will inevitably become impatient. Don't take what she said to heart."
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, what can I do to fourth sister-in-law?" Jiuzhu saw that Sun Caiyao was holding onto her sleeve, and she bent down and sat in the sedan chair.
When the sedan chair left Zhang Liugong, Sun Caiyao slowly took off the red scarf covering her head: "Why are you back?"
"Because you are asking me for help." Jiuzhu looked at her suspiciously: "You cried so sadly, when Yun Yanze appeared, you pushed me away again and reminded me, don't you want someone to take you out of the sea of misery?"
Sun Caiyao stared at her blankly. It was so simple, so straightforward
As a princess, doesn't she know how to weigh the pros and cons
"You are afraid, but I can save you again, so I will." Jiuzhu adjusted her sitting position: "If you are uncomfortable, lean on my shoulder."
There are thousands of words in Sun Caiyao's heart, but at this moment it only turns into a "thank you".
The moment she put her head on Ming Jiuzhu's shoulder, her anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
"I don't know what's going on between you and Yun Yanze, but there are some bad things that can only lead to more trouble if you hide them in your heart." Jiuzhu saw that Sun Caiyao was relying on herself not to speak: "I can't solve it myself. If something goes wrong, just go to the elders, they will definitely handle things better than us."
"But I don't want them to worry..."
"The elders can't handle it, so you can choose to be silent. But your Sun family's noble family, how many loyal ministers and good generals have been raised by your ancestors, is better than you do it alone."
"Fifth younger brother and sister." Sun Caiyao clutched Jiuzhu's sleeve tightly: "I know that the fifth brother is most valued by the father and the emperor. Can you ask the fifth brother to help with the communication and send someone to protect my brother immediately."
"Okay." Jiuzhu covered Sun Caiyao's face with her sleeves, opened the curtains of the sedan chair, and summoned a little eunuch: "Send someone to tell His Highness that someone intends to assassinate the jinshi of the previous imperial examination, and ask him to report to the emperor and send someone to protect him. ."
The little eunuch ran away quickly, Jiuzhu put down the curtain, and put down the sleeve that covered Sun Caiyao's face: "Your brother was a Jinshi in the last imperial examination, you should tell your father directly about this kind of thing."
Sun Caiyao was stunned. Can the matter of the prince be so straightforward
"The father is Mingjun." Jiuzhu doesn't know the world, but she understands people's hearts: "When you meet your maiden's family tomorrow, you can choose what to do and how to go."
"Life is too short, looking ahead and looking back, hesitating, will only lead to regret and pain in the future." Jiuzhu pulled the slipped cape to Sun Caiyao: "Compared with all things in the world, people are small and short-lived, it is better to go with one's heart. For, but please have no regrets.”
In the past, she felt that Sun Caiyao was weird and contradictory, as if she was competing with something. The last two times I saw her, the sense of contradiction was gone, but the other energy was gone, and it wasn't as good as before.
Weird is a little weirder, at least with some freshness.
"But please have no regrets..." Sun Caiyao looked at Ming Jiuzhu intently, at this moment she was different from Ming Jiuzhu in the dream. In the dream, Ming Jiuzhu always had an indissoluble darkness in her pupils, unlike her now, her eyes were full of stars and rays of light.
"Yun Yanze, want to kill me."
"He's gone crazy."
She looked into Jiu Zhu's eyes and murmured, "Maybe, he's already gone crazy."
Zhang Liugong was extremely quiet, Yun Yanze sat in the empty room and looked at Bai Shao who was standing outside the door: "After tonight, the father can no longer tolerate me, this king is finished."
He is no longer a prince, maybe he forgot.
"This king is finished, so are you." Yun Yanze cracked a smile: "Since he can't tolerate me, isn't it a good idea for me to bury his favorite son with me?"
Bai Shao's pupils trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head: "Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?"
"The idea?" Yun Yanze smiled sarcastically: "Is it difficult for a maid from the Qilin Palace to do things for the king willingly?"
"I can't sleep tonight. The whole palace is in chaos. How busy is it?"
Bai Shao heard a thumping sound in her chest, and she knelt down: "This servant swears to follow His Highness to the death."
"Bai Shao, this king appreciates your loyalty the most." Yun Yanze smiled: "That's why this king doesn't want you to become the second red plum."
Red plum…
Killed by His Highness
"Go back and change into clean and beautiful clothes." Yun Yanze looked at Bai Shao as if he was looking at an obedient object: "You are the one who is served by this king. When you die, be more respectable."
"Yes." Bai Shao exited the main house, she remembered that there was a palace maid in Qilin Palace, and sometimes she followed Princess Chen to the Sixth Palace, and would always secretly stare at the Fourth Highness and blush.
After making sure that the Fourth Highness could no longer see her figure, she turned around and ran away, desperately running towards the Qilin Palace.
What palace rules, what manners, don't care at all.
She has never felt as much as today that the distance between Qilin Palace and Zhangliu Palace is terrifyingly far.
The palace road is so long and the sky is so dark, no matter how you run, you can't run to the end.
Behind her, a team of swordsmen guarding the Dragon Guards rushed into Zhang Liugong and surrounded the yard where Yun Yanze lived.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I am under your Majesty's order to arrest you and bring you to justice."
Yun Yanze walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. He looked at the dragon guards whose swords had been unsheathed, and sneered: "You guys are here faster than this king imagined."
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have worried too much last night. Taking Sun Caiyao's life directly would not cause so many troubles.
It's a pity that Ming Jiuzhu's nosy woman has trapped him in a doomed place.
He suddenly recalled that, long, long ago, on the day he was assassinated, it was when he heard someone call "Nine Pearl" that distracted him and allowed the assassin to take advantage.
Since then, he has been unsatisfactory everywhere, stepping into the abyss step by step.
If the Ming family hadn't found this daughter, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Bai Shao leaned against the palace wall and looked at the Qilin Palace, which was close at hand, sweat soaked through the back of her clothes, and her hairpin had long since fallen.
She had no strength all over her body, so she could only lean on the wall and walk over step by step.
There are too many cold corners in this palace, but on that day, she was sitting desperately under the roots of a tree, thinking that she would die of pain there, Princess Chen took off her cloak and put it on her, helping her. She called a doctor.
There is too little warmth, and if you can have that little bit, you will never forget it.
The imperial doctor said that because of the empress's foot, she was seriously injured, and she would not be able to conceive or give birth to a child in the future.
She has been loyal to her master for many years, and the master has deprived her of the opportunity to be a mother, and she has only done one thing against her.
It was she who took advantage of Concubine Ning's status as the maid of honor to mislead the Zheng family and let them spread the rumors of the Ming family and Princess Chen at the wrong time and place, and made all the master's plans fall short in advance.
"Aunt Bai Shao." Yang Yiduo saw Bai Shao at this time, saw her hairpins loose, and moved against the wall, thinking that something had happened to her, and reached out to support her: "What's wrong?"
"Hurry up, help me to see the princess." Bai Shao saw Yang Yiduo and didn't have time to explain: "I have something very important to tell the princess."
Yang Yiduo saw her look like this, hesitated for a moment, and helped her into the door.
Inside the house, Jiu Zhu wearily took off the hairpin ring: "I don't have any energy on my body, I just want to get a good night's sleep."
King Chen helped her squeeze her shoulders: "Will this be better?"
The maids came in with toiletry utensils.
"Princess!" Bai Shao rushed to the door and looked at the palace maid who was less than two steps away from Jiuzhu: "Be careful, princess! That palace maid wants to harm you and the prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Princess Chen, who was dying just now, stretched out his hand and pushed King Chen to the bed, bent over and swept down all the palace maids who approached with his legs, and the water bottle and jade ware fell to the ground.
The dark guard, who was hiding in the dark, broke through the window in an instant, guarding the side of King Chen and Jiuzhu.
King Chen, who was pushed down on the bed, was so dizzy that he didn't respond. He sat up and saw Ming Xiaozhu holding the carved wooden stool and blocking it in front of the bed. If anyone dared to approach, he would use the stool to kill anyone. , even the few dark guards who suddenly appeared were within her range of defense.
Jiuzhu didn't hurt the maids, she just looked at them vigilantly and asked Bai Shao, "Which one are you talking about?"
