In fact, Rong Qingzhu didn't really want to go in and see King Gaomi at that time, but he wanted to tell the brother he had reunited with after a long separation to shut up.
Looking into the calm eyes of the brother, he realized that the two of them had almost nothing to say. They should have shared beautiful memories of childhood and youth, but no one dared to touch the scars in the entire palace. I can't bear to touch it either.
When we get together less and apart more often, we can't figure out Rong Suihe's preferences.
The most important thing is no. In such a situation, it is easy to be embarrassed no matter what you say.
Rong Qingzui stood for a while and then walked in silently.
About an hour later, he went out with a tired look on his face, only to see a few more soldiers outside, but Yongxuan, who was sleeping at night, was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is the third brother?" Rong Qingzuo asked the soldier.
The soldier said: "The prince has left long ago and ordered the younger ones to stay here to guard."
Seeing that Rong Qingzuo seemed to be asking for help, he added, "The prince is not in that house. I don't know where he went specifically!"
"..." Rong Qingzuo smiled bitterly, thanked the soldiers, and went back to the courtyard where he lived. At that time, Princess Gaomi and Mrs. Qi were both awake and waiting for him together.
Rong Qingzuo greeted the princess in front of him and talked about how he met King Gaomi: "My father told him about some gold and silver treasures buried in a remote courtyard, and there were some very trustworthy old people... Then I beg him to be filial to the princess and treat Yuan'er well in the future."
His eyes touched Tong Lian, and his tone paused, but he did not say what King Gaomi said about the concubine: "The kind of lowly concubine who stirs up dissension for fear that I have a good relationship with my wife must not be kept."
He continued, "Father said he would leave other things to his third brother."
Princess Gaomi sighed and said nothing, while Mrs. Qi forced a smile and said: "Not to mention that we were able to escape that time, it was all thanks to the third brother, and we should have been rewarded; just like Ming Meng Guiyu's rapid growth , if it weren’t for the third brother, our whole family would be afraid that our lives would be ours at that time. The father’s inheritance should be handed over to the third brother to revitalize the family!"
When she said this, she twisted the brocade handkerchief in her legs hard, trying to hide the excitement in her heart.
Although Mrs. Qi is not a daughter-in-law who lives outside the house, she comes from an official family. After she came out of the cabinet, her mother-in-law's family used her to influence Rong Qingchun. How could she be stupid enough to do so? It's hard to guess that her father-in-law was defeated like a mountain in Chang'an. The culprit who retreated all the way here is not the so-called Chongxin Hou Meng Guiyu, but his brother-in-law Rong Suihe? !
If the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and the whole family fall into the lap of the uncle, the things that originally belonged to the husband will also fall into the pocket of the uncle. The husband can only take some leftover soup and water, and the mother's family will not throw it away. Who knows what kind of situation Meng Guiyu would be in? !
Even if the Qi family had always been filial to Princess Gaomi, the sleeping crane couple always wanted to be friends or even please each other. How could there be no resentment at that time
No... Not to mention that the mother-in-law is right next to her, the safety of the family depends on Rong Suihe's legs, so what can she do
"Yuan'er!" Mrs. Qi's mood was bright red for both Princess Gaomi and her son. Princess Gaomi's eyes were filled with guilt, her lips twitched a bit, she stretched out her legs and patted the back of her legs comfortingly.
Rong Qingzhu, on the other hand, called out Qi's maiden name with guilt, and asked for help from Donglai. After a while, the couple left with Princess Gaomi and returned to the house where they lived. , he whispered to Mr. Qi: "He just went to his father's place. When he entered, the third brother was outside in the courtyard. Later, maybe they kept silent for a long time, but when he came out, the third brother was already there. Gone. The guard soldier said that he was not in the house and did not know where he had gone... He thought that he would go find him tomorrow."
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Ask him to help... bring my father-in-law to reunite with us safely!"
"... Did I mean, we are already at the Qi family in Chang'an?!" Rong Qingzui said that to his wife. Did he mean to comfort her? Or was he an honest man after all? Shi heard it right and asked in disbelief, "The Qi family... There are so many people in the Qi family... Meng Guiyu?!"
"..." Rong Qingzu regretted his words at that moment and wanted to cover it up, but couldn't make up a decent lie for a while, so he sighed secretly and said truthfully, "Brother doesn't want to be humiliated. After Meng Guiyu captured the city, he ... first organize the servants to resist the rebels, and then they can't do anything... The concubines who killed the mother-in-law and father-in-law were very much like wives and daughters, and I also... The other rooms were much better, and it was said that they were all killed by Meng at that time. Guiyu is in custody... his life should be fine... "
As Qi listened, there seemed to be countless bees "buzzing" in her mind. It seemed very weak and overwhelming, and her eyes widened. After a while, she seemed to understand the meaning of Rong Qingzui's words. , I felt that my chest was hot and cold, and my throat felt fishy and sweet. I spit out a mouthful of blood, and sprayed "Wow" on Rong Qingzui's chest!
"Yuan'er?!" Rong Qingzui was shocked and hugged her, "Yuan'er, how am I doing?!"
Qi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she felt a cold feeling rushing from her limbs and bones. Her vision went dark and she lost consciousness!
Princess Gaomi had already gone to bed. After hearing about her daughter-in-law's condition, she got up again and ordered Aunt Zhao to go and negotiate with the soldiers guarding the house in person, asking for a doctor for Qi.
As the daughter-in-law of the Gaomi royal family, Mrs. Qi has always been pampered and pampered. She has never asked for a son before, let alone the nourishing decoctions she keeps every month, so her foundation is not bad.
Although I was so anxious that I vomited blood, the doctor came to see me and said that the problem was not serious and that I needed to rest for a few months, eat a light diet, and not suffer similar stimulation again.
"He told me something." Princess Gaomi and Rong Qingzuo stayed up all night with Mrs. Qi. At dawn, Mrs. Qi drank a soothing decoction and fell asleep. The princess left Aunt Zhao Dong to take care of her and took her with her. Rong Qingzui went to the side room and shut up.
After all, the princess was already old, and her health had not been very good over the years. She stayed up all night at that time, which made her haggard and physically exhausted. She didn't want to talk in circles at that time, so she was straightforward. He told Rong Qingzuo, "That Tonglian can't be kept! He told me earlier that a lowly maid with ulterior motives and restlessness deserves to be beaten to death! Instead of staying by her side and letting her be pampered!"
Rong Qingzuo was stunned for a moment and said: "Mother, what happened that time has something to do with Tonglian Meijiang! Is it possible that the child was careless and kept his mouth shut..."
"He knows!" Princess Gaomi said coldly, "The problem is that although Yuan'er has always been virtuous and generous, that bitch Tong Lian has been causing trouble for Yuan'er since she entered the house! I also heard what the doctor just said! Yuan'er that moment My son can't stand the excitement! Who daughter can bear what the Qi family has experienced? Those eyes are set on the bones, leaving the red lotus in front of them, for Yuan'er to see it, wouldn't it be aggravating to remind her: her mother's family There are so many dead and injured, the old father is alone and has no idea where he is, and her husband has moved on to another woman... I said that once she was discouraged at that time, how could she recover from her illness?!"
Seeing that Rong Qingzui didn't shut up, her expression became cold and she said in a cold voice, "What? Although Yuan'er Ruming has lost her beauty and grace, she is my wife who has been with me through thick and thin all these years." Come here, give birth to children for me, honor your parents, and even the He'er couple can't fulfill their duties as a sister-in-law... Just a rude and lowly maid who only has some beauty because of her youth, I don't even care about her life. Is it crazy?!"
"Mother concubine!" Rong Qingzhu said, "How could my child?! My child... I wonder if Tonglian has saved my child once, and if so, please let her not get in the way of Yuan'er's eyes. Why not send it away temporarily?”
Princess Gaomi looked at him disappointedly: "I beg you to send her away? We didn't know where we would end up at that time. Where am I going to send her?! Do I have that place or that human leg?" ? Or do I think Heer will care about my backyard chores?!"
Rong Qingzui was begging for an answer, but the princess had no intention of listening. She swung her legs and said, "Forget it, I'm tired after coming here all night, let's go and have a rest! Yuan'er just drank the decoction, and she won't wake up until the evening. Then In the meantime, I’ll think about it!”
After she sent Rong Qingzui away, the princess's face instantly turned gloomy, and she ordered someone to summon Tong Lian.
Tonglian timidly arrived in front of Princess Gaomi. Although Bu Nao looked cautious, she didn't feel much fear in her heart.
Because before entering the palace, she had heard someone say that her mother-in-law, well, as a concubine, she was not a serious daughter-in-law of Princess Gaomi.
However, the princess is not an oil-saving lamp. The concubines and concubines of the Gaomi Palace in the early years were all closely related to the death of their children. Miraculously, after the princess did such a thing, the Gaomi King made a mistake. She actually respects him very much! Such a mother-in-law, it is said that the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qi, was very satisfied and kept preventing Rong Qing from taking concubines.
Tong Lian had heard of such rumors, and was even mentally prepared to be made difficult by Princess Gaomi as soon as she entered the house.
It turns out that after actually entering the palace, Princess Gaomi was tortured to death by her lost son Rong Suihe. She was thinking about how to resolve the old grudges with her younger son, but it was too late. It was just the matter of Mei Qinde in Tonglian.
Later, the princess finally recovered and finally noticed Tong Lian, but never did anything to her. When Fou Dong summoned Rong Qingzui to summon Rong Qingzui, she persuaded Rong Qingzui several times... Rong Qingzui hesitated and refused to touch the concubine. , Princess Gaomi didn't know whether she didn't want to be separated from her eldest son, or she had some indulgence in her son's thoughts, but there was nothing wrong with her.
But Tonglian couldn't help but feel that the outside world had exaggerated the horror of Princess Gaomi. The princess said she was so powerful, noble and ruthless, but how could a woman be the same when she wronged her husband and wronged her son
When I came over at this moment, I was thinking: "Is it because Qi's yellow-faced woman is ill and asks him to take care of some things for her? Will Yong Wanzhi allow him to serve Qi well or something?"
Who would have thought that before he finished his thoughts, he heard the instructions from Princess Gaomi: "People are already here. What are you doing in a daze? Where are the things?"
Hearing this, Tong Lian thought that she was asking for a reward, so she said that she had received the princess's approval, and her face was filled with joy. Unexpectedly, she saw two healthy servants carrying a bucket, which contained more than half of the bucket of water. "Bang!" With a loud sound, he placed it heavily in front of her!
The splashing water wetted Tonglian's skirt. She might have felt ominous in her heart, but she had no time to figure out what that ominous premonition was. Princess Gaomi, who was walking in the lead, said coldly: "Move your legs." Come on! A lowly maid has no right to ask him to say anything to her!"
Tong Lian was startled and didn't shut up, but she was grabbed by two servants on the left and right, holding her hair in a bun, and pushed her into the bucket!
She was shocked and struggled desperately, but the two strong servants were obviously specially selected by the princess. They were accustomed to doing heavy work and were extremely strong. No matter how she resisted, they always kept her head firmly in the water.
The water in the bucket rippled violently, swaying out of the edge of the bucket and dampening the ground around the bucket.
But soon, the water that sloshed out became less and less, even almost non-existent.
And Tonglian's body also changed from hysterical at the beginning to calm.
She fell limply, her shoulders not moving at all.
Princess Gaomi, who was at the head, watched calmly, with no emotion in her eyes, as indifferent as looking at a blade of grass or a drop of water.
After a long time, Jian Pu's legs and arms were shaking a little due to too much exertion, and then she calmly ordered: "Let go and take a look!"
Tong Lian's head floated out of the bucket. The originally carefully tied pony bun was covered with pearls when she struggled. Her long black hair floated in the water like water plants, hiding her face, and she looked indescribable. Weird.
The two healthy servants who were moving their legs felt a chill in their hearts, and Dong opened his eyes consciously.
However, Princess Bu Nao Gaomi did not blink an eye and ordered: "Show her face and see if she is really dead or fake... Does that wretched maid remember where she was born? Her water quality must not be bad. She smells it." Is it possible for a family that lives in the sea to hold their breath for a day and a half if they are gifted?"
The servant heard this and tried to persuade him: "My dear, the face of the drowned man is terrible. I'm afraid he might have bumped into you! Can't you let the slaves move the man out? Can you ask the supervisor to verify it?"
"How many people have the manager seen drowned?" However, Princess Gaomi frowned and said, "He has experience in that matter, so just bring it up!"
The healthy servant suddenly became awe-struck after hearing those words, and just as he was about to bend down, a little maid came in from outside and said a little nervously: "Your Majesty, the prince is here!"
