Generally, when the prince leaves the palace, Shen Zhuo will have people follow him to see if he will come to the third prince's side, or to prevent the third prince from bumping into him. The prince's whereabouts will be reported to the third prince at any time. It was a routine report all these years, and I had never seen such a strong reaction from the third prince, so the visitor was momentarily stunned. The third prince asked: "When did he go?!"
The visitor hastily added: "It's been... since I left the Imperial College, it should be... half an hour ago..."
Shen Zhuo jumped up and walked out: "Forgive me to say goodbye!"
The third prince said: "Look! What did I say?! I'll accompany you. What's the matter? I can cover you." The two hurried out, and Young Master Ye chased after him and shouted: "You have to take me with you!" Enough people!"
The third prince waved: "Go, go!"
Hulala, a group of people ran to the front yard in a chaotic manner, got on their horses and rushed out of the house one after another.
In Pingyuanhou's mansion, Pingyuanhou also got the news that the crown prince was going to the Flower Fair in Jianning's mansion, and he immediately ordered his people: "Go quickly, and bring Madam and Miss back!"
As soon as Mrs. Li knew that the crown prince had arrived, she dragged Zhang Yunjin away from Xinglin, and got into the carriage before the crowd left in droves. When he was halfway back to the mansion, he ran into reinforcements from Pingyuanhou's mansion who rushed over with more than 50 people in a hurry. The convoy rushed all the way back to the Pingyuanhou Mansion. After entering the gate of the mansion, Marquis Pingyuan went to greet Li Shi in person, and he felt relieved when he watched Li Shi get off the car beside the door.
Zhang Yunjin also got out of the car, greeted his father, helped Li Shi and his father to walk to the inner courtyard, and asked Li casually: "Can Eldest Miss Shen find Second Miss Shen in time? They will be all right?"
Marquis Pingyuan frowned: "The two ladies from Zhenbeihou's residence are also in Jianning's residence?"
Mrs. Li nodded and said: "The two young ladies of the Shen family are indeed, and the second young lady left alone..."
Ping Yuanhou nodded, let the mother and daughter go first, and immediately went to the study. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Send thirty people, all in plain clothes, to Jianning Mansion to have a look. If the people in Zhenbeihou Mansion are in danger, they can help them. Don't reveal that they are from our mansion." Zhang Yunzheng He once sent Second Miss Shen to the border. If the crown prince went for Miss Shen, how could the Pingyuanhou Mansion sit idly by? His bastard son will definitely make trouble when he comes back. But it can't be revealed that the two governments have cooperation, so let's take a look secretly.
Facing the oncoming weapon, Shen Xiang felt that Shen Wen behind her was close to her. She couldn't attack, so she could only fend off a sword that pierced her chest with her sword. The opponent was an adult man, and Shen Xiang thought that he could only change the direction of the opponent slightly, the sword would not be able to pierce his chest, but would also pierce his shoulder. But to her surprise, the sword in that man's hand was weak, and it swayed to the side when it touched Shen Xiang's sword. He also opened his mouth wide, as if out of breath. Shen Xiang took the opportunity to stab the man's shoulder with his sword. The man stepped back a few steps, clutching his chest, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Shen Xiang was overjoyed, swung his long sword, and struck out again and again, easily smashing away the swords around her. Although she has practiced martial arts since childhood, she is a woman after all, she has never really killed anyone, and she always leaves some leeway when she strikes, even so, there are all wounded people in front of her, and they are all lying on the ground, unable to get up.
The same is true for Spring Green, as long as it collides with the opponent's weapon, the opponent will retreat or shoot.
Shen Wen closed his eyes and surrounded the area within three steps with his consciousness. Her consciousness was stretched to the limit during the storm, and since then, her consciousness has improved greatly. Today, she was prepared for a long battle, and only guarded the three of them conservatively, not intending to be too aggressive. Among the various frequencies and shapes, she only needs to pluck each attacker's trachea or heart artery like plucking strings, which is enough to make the opponent suffocate or faint instantly.
When Su Wanniang practiced martial arts back then, she just squatted and punched, she didn't know how to use a sword at all. At this time, he could only hold the dagger in front of him, pointing back and forth clumsily. Suddenly, a person suddenly fell out of control, and his chest hit the dagger. The hot blood suddenly splashed on the back of Su Wanniang's hand, and Su Wanniang screamed loudly. The man stared at Su Wanniang with wide eyes, then slowly knelt down in front of her. Su Wanniang continued to yell, Shen Xiang turned her face away, and kicked that person away...
Su Wanniang's screams mixed with the screams of the women running around, spread outside the courtyard. Shen Zhuo and the third prince brought more than a hundred guards to the street, and they could hear the cries of women in the Jianning mansion from a distance. The streets are full of crowded carriages, and men and women who are shouting or crying are everywhere. Their horses couldn't get in at all. Shen Zhuo jumped off the horse, flew onto the top of a carriage, jumped from one carriage to another, and ran towards the Jianning mansion. The third prince said angrily: "I hate light work!" Then he shouted to the guards: "Go to the nearest door!" The guards shouted, "Get out of the way! The third prince wants to go!" Pushing away those who blocked the way , squeeze forward.
Shen Xiang easily forced several people back again, he was unavoidably surprised, and the besiegers were also a little puzzled - every time he attacked in front of three people, he felt guilty and short of breath, if he didn't retreat quickly, he would have to be stabbed .
The besiegers paused for a moment, and then someone yelled: "They have demon skills, let's go up together..." A loud shout came from the top of the wall: "It's really shameless for you to besiege a few women!" Following the words, A white light hit, and Shen Zhuo rushed over. He was not as soft-handed as Shen Xiang, he stabbed into the side chest of a person who was hit by Shen Xiangge just now with one sword, and pierced another person's arm with another swing of the sword.
While fighting, Shen Zhuo shouted to Shen Xiang and the others: "Are you hurt?!"
Shen Xiang had never been so happy to see Shen Zhuo, and hurriedly replied: "No! Third brother! These people say we are fugitives!"
Shen Zhuo shouted angrily: "I am Shen Zhuo, the third son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, these are the female relatives of my mansion, how dare you slander the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion?!"
The prince's bodyguards were all dressed in royal uniforms, and now there are more than a dozen of them lying down on the ground, but few of them were seriously injured. Feeling that there was still hope of victory, the leader shouted again: "He is not the Marquis of Zhenbei!" The mansion! He is also a fugitive! Hurry up!" Why is it so hard to kill a few women!
All of a sudden, the crowd attacked again, this time with Shen Zhuo, the situation changed drastically, he can jump back and forth, resisting people from all sides, his sword is swift and fierce, and he will be injured immediately. There was a moment of jingling, and people in the besieging crowd often yelled.
Outside the Jianning mansion, a group of people in civilian clothes squeezed over, looked around the mansion, and said, "What happened here? Why are you all running out?"
A person exclaimed: "Didn't it go into the water?!"
Another person said: "It seems so! Everyone, go in and help put out the fire!" After a while, a large group of "people" rushed into the gate of the mansion.
When they arrived at the fighting place, they saw Shen Zhuo flickering alone, they couldn't really help, they could only talk to help, so they said in a confused way, "What's the matter? You are so hastily using knives and guns? "Oh! This is the royal guard, what's the matter?"
Shen Zhuo said loudly: "We are from Zhenbeihoufu! They are bullying others!"
Someone among the guards said: "They are fugitives!"
The person next to him asked loudly, "A fugitive? What fugitive? Is there a warrant?"
The prince's guard shouted: "Get out! We are on business! These people must be executed on the spot!"
"People" yelled loudly: "Hey! This is amazing! Is it the emperor's will?"
Some of the guards couldn't bear it, and swiped their swords at the onlookers, who scattered in all directions, but they still shouted loudly: "Killing people without orders, but taking human lives carelessly!"...
The third prince and his guards arrived at the back door of Jianning Mansion, rushed to open the door, and ran straight to the place where the noise was the loudest. There was a figure in red, who felt his blood rushing to the top at that time, and shouted: "Surround them!"
The third prince's guards rushed up and surrounded the guards who had besieged Shen Xiang and the others in the center. The situation on the field suddenly changed, and the original majority suddenly became a minority.
Shen Zhuo stood in the way of outsiders like Shen Xiang and the others, and fought frequently with the guards. He also felt that these people seemed vulnerable and could be stabbed down in a few hits. Too big.
The "citizens" who ran away came back together and asked loudly, "Are you also here to catch fugitives?"
"What fugitive? There is nothing in the decree, I don't see it!"
"That's right, otherwise we should have called the yamen servants from the capital!"
"Oh! If you say that, we have to go to the yamen servant?"...
The third prince yelled: "What fugitive?! Let me take a look!"
The guards beside him yelled, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived!"
The prince's guards looked back and found themselves surrounded by the third prince's guards. If you kill a few women, you can push them to the guards in the future, but if the prince's guards and the third prince's guards merge, it will be a big deal, and the prince's guards stopped.
"People" shouted one after another: "His Royal Highness, the third prince! They are catching fugitives!"
The third prince gritted his teeth: "I want to see what fugitive is?! How to execute the law! Someone, come and help catch the 'fugitive'!" The guards around him pulled out their swords and shouted: "Come on! Come on! Brothers also come to help!"
Shen Zhuo in the crowd shouted: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince! It's me! Shen San!"
The third prince was "shocked" and said: "This is the third son Shen from the Zhenbeihou's mansion! How could he become a fugitive?! Does the emperor have holy intentions?! Go to the palace and report!"
The prince's guards looked at each other in blank dismay, they could do nothing now. A person said loudly: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Let's go!" After speaking, he directed people to carry the dead and injured.
The third prince said angrily: "The misunderstanding is over?! You besieged the female relatives, shouldn't you apologize?"
The prince's guards smiled: "I'm really sorry!" He motioned for people to follow him, and led the guards out of the siege, some of them went to Wanghualou, while others carried the dead and wounded out of the mansion.
His Highness watched them leave helplessly, knowing that his guards could not do anything, Shen Zhuo hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, please help me to rectify my name! Since it is a misunderstanding, let's not be as knowledgeable as them!" It was too much trouble.
Those "common people" who came from Pingyuanhou's Mansion pushed and shoved each other: "Let's go, let's go, the excitement is over!" "Go home, go home!" They all dispersed.
The prince waited for a long time, and the eunuch ran in and said in a low voice, "Miss Shen and the two maidservants next to Second Miss Shen are both masters of martial arts. The three of them protected Second Miss Shen tightly and killed more than a dozen of us. What are the guards doing?" We can’t even get close! Later, the Third Prince Shen came, and now the Third Prince has also arrived with his guards, so our people had no choice but to come back.”
The crown prince was not surprised this time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated her! I underestimated her too much!" Since the Second Miss Shen dared to fight, it seemed that she had already prepared her back. Martial arts master? ! It is well known that Miss Shen practiced martial arts. But the stunning maid next to Miss Shen is also a person with strong martial arts! He still wanted her in the first place, but if she was brought into the mansion, it would be like bringing in a killer! What a scheming!
After some time passed, the prince gradually calmed down. In fact, if he killed Second Miss Shen and pushed it to someone else, wouldn't Zhenbei Hou know about it? If he found out, he would definitely retaliate wildly. If you want to contain him, you must become the emperor immediately! But now I am not ready yet! The woman's discord will definitely reach the emperor's ears. The emperor probably wouldn't believe the idea of borrowing soldiers to force the palace. He and Zhenbeihou were inseparable, even if they really did it, he wouldn't use his soldiers. Regarding the matter of pills, he was very fortunate to have found a truly righteous man. Mao Daochang has always been wholehearted to his father, and his father also likes pills... But even if the emperor sees that the woman is talking nonsense, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not believe in slander... In any case, I want to become the emperor as soon as possible...
The prince said weakly: "Go and watch, they are gone, we will leave again."
The eunuch responded and turned to go out. The prince was full of thoughts, and sat there for a long time without moving, as if he had turned into a wooden sculpture.
The third prince watched the prince's guards leave, and then looked at the center where those people were besieging. He saw a woman in red standing there with a horizontal sword. Suddenly, his heart was twisted, and he ran over a few steps, and repeatedly shouted at Shen Xiang Ask: "How are you?! Are you okay?"
Seeing the third prince, Shen Xiang rushed over like this, and Su Wanniang Chunlu looked at her, her face was a little red. There was blood on her sword, and she couldn't put it back into the scabbard immediately, so she could only lift the hilt upside down, and saluted the third prince: "I have seen..."
The third prince raised his hand to stop Shen Xiang: "I'm sorry! I'm late! Are you not injured?!"
Only then did Shen Xiang hold his breath, determined to do his best to protect his incompetent younger sister, there was absolutely no one in the Chen family of the Marquis of Zhenbei who abandoned his siblings and ran away! Although there was no danger in the fight, after all, she had to slash and kill with real swords and guns. This was the first time in her life that she faced blood, and the psychological shock was self-evident. She was only a seventeen-year-old woman. The prince apologized so much, he couldn't help but choked up, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine... I'm fine."
The third prince saw that Shen Xiang's earlobe was wearing the earrings he gave him as a gift, and that the sword in Shen Xiang's hand was given by him. There were tears in his eyes for a moment, and he said softly: "It's me... I'm the one who hurt you !"
Shen Xiang remembered that his silly sister had caused this incident, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "This has nothing to do with you!" Pulling out the handkerchief, he wiped the sword, bent down and picked up the scabbard on the ground, inserted the sword into the sheath, and thought This is the sword given by the third prince, and his face was flushed red. In order to cover up, she turned around and pulled Shen Wen who had been cowering behind her, nodded to the third prince, and dragged Shen Wen to the gate.
The third prince heard Shen Xiang say that it was none of his business, and felt that Shen Xiang was really proud. He thought that the prince's attack on the sisters of the Shen family was just to deal him a blow: if Miss Shen died, the Marquis of Zhenbei would no longer support him. But Shen Xiang didn't admit it at all, it must be because he didn't want to make himself feel guilty! The Miss Shen that my mother chose for me was really suitable. If it was an ordinary boudoir girl, wouldn't she be so scared that she would cry right now? Just like that Second Miss Shen who couldn't even stand upright. But look at Miss Shen, her back is straight, she is strong and unyielding, this is the one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her! He watched Shen Xiang go away reluctantly, and said to the guards beside him, "Hurry up and protect Miss Shen into the car."
Shen Zhuo came over and said to the third prince, "I'll send them back first."
The third prince nodded and said: "I will support you from behind."
Shen Wen looked fragile, one arm was pulled by Shen Xiang, Su Wanniang supported the other, and followed Chunlu to the outside of the mansion. Almost at the gate of the mansion, the guards of Zhenbei Hou's mansion came in hastily, and the leader said to Shen Zhuo: "We can't get through, we are blocked by many people!"
Shen Zhuo didn't want to pursue anything here, so he just said with a dark face: "Bring the carriage over and take the ladies back home!"
Not long after, two carriages drove in from the already empty gate of the mansion. This time, Shen Xiang dragged Shen Wen into one carriage, motioned for Su Wanniang to also squeeze in, and let Chun Lu get into the other carriage by herself.
When the car started, Shen Xiang asked Shen Wen viciously: "What stupid thing did you do again?!"
Shen Wen huddled in a corner of the carriage, closed his eyes and listened carefully to the outside, and knew that Shen Zhuo was riding outside the carriage, with a driver in front, and the others were a little farther away, so he leaned in front of Shen Xiang and said, "I told you Sister, sister can't tell others... "
Seeing Shen Wen's cowardly appearance, Shen Xiang couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Say it quickly! Otherwise I'll beat you! I'll know the idiot who caused the trouble!"
Shen Wen blinked aggrievedly, looked at Su Wanniang and nodded, Su Wanniang pulled Shen Xiang down, and whispered in Shen Xiang's ear: "The prince told the young lady that he would accept her as a ninth-rank concubine, and he also found many wives Listening in... ”
Shen Xiang became anxious on the spot: "This bastard! I'll kill him!"
Su Wanniang pulled Shen Xiang hard, put her fingers on her lips, and whispered in Shen Xiang's ear: "Miss said that he wanted to use the Marquis' soldiers to force the palace to take over, and that the Marquis would not agree..."
Shen Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing until his waist was bent, and tears came out of his eyes.
Shen Wen bit her handkerchief, waited for Shen Xiang to stop laughing, and then said: "Sister, you can't tell mother and grandmother." She can't ruin her reputation for the prince, so she still wants to spread the news that the prince wants to accept her? He told Shen Xiang that it was because Shen Xiang fought bloody for her, and he couldn't hide it from Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang also understood, wiped away tears and nodded, "Yes, I can't say it. But, it's such a big deal, what should I say?"
Shen Wen blinked: "Just say that the prince said I was ugly, and I called him uncle?"
Shen Xiang shook his head: "How can you say that you are ugly? Besides, it would definitely not make sense to kill us because of this. How about this, don't talk about you and him, don't open your mouth when you go home, I'll just say I don't know what's wrong, the prince's The people are coming towards us, the mother and the others will definitely think that the prince wants to get rid of me. The prince must not dare to mention this matter, and the wives who are watching will not openly say what they heard. Keep it."
Shen Wen pulled Shen Xiang's hand: "Thank you sister!"
Shen Xiang sighed to Shen Wen, pointed to Shen Wen's head and said, "You're not that stupid!"
Shen Wen smiled dryly, and said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Wanniang, I scared you."
Only then did Su Wanniang relax, her hands began to shake, she turned pale and whispered to Shen Wen, "I killed someone, didn't I? I killed someone."
Shen Wen shook his head: "They are not dead, I saw them."
Su Wanniang muttered: "...it's all blood, it's hot."
Shen Wen took Su Wanniang's hand: "Sister Wanniang, I'm sorry."
Shen Xiang also touched Su Wanniang's arm and said, "You're not from a general, so it's hard for you."
Su Wanniang shook her head and said, "Needless to say, I'm fine, as long as we're all fine."
The three comforted each other and greatly enhanced their emotions.
Shen Zhuo was sulking all the way: Shen Wen must have known that this kind of thing would happen, she had long said that the prince would do something to her, but she actually pushed herself away! So that the prince can do it. This sister is too bold! There were only three women left beside her, and even Shen Xiang Huiwu couldn't resist the prince's more than thirty guards. She really doesn't take herself seriously! Be sure to have a good talk with Shen Wen!
The third prince followed behind the horses, feeling ashamed to go to the front to see Miss Shen off. He is already a stalwart husband, but he can't protect the woman who has been silently supporting him, causing Miss Shen to suffer such a great grievance (Shen Xiang's ability to self-defense is a feature that he has temporarily ignored), what's the point of living like this? ! It's better to fight... The beautiful face of his mother Chen Guifei suddenly appeared in the wild thoughts of the third prince. When he was a child, Chen Guifei said softly many times: "My child, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, don't confuse your conscience..."
The third prince almost said: "But he has no conscience..." So no scruples! Indiscriminate killing of innocents! What would happen if such a person became an emperor? !
Does he have to do something to the prince? That was his eldest brother, who killed his brother and usurped the throne, how much better is he than the prince? ... The third prince was depressed, riding a horse all the way, engaging in a fierce battle of thoughts with himself.
When they arrived at Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, the third prince couldn't decide whether to kill the prince just because of this, he couldn't make up his mind, he felt that he couldn't face Shen Zhuo, he didn't want to enter the mansion, so he just bid farewell to Shen Zhuo silently.
Shen Zhuo knew that today's matter was a contest between the prince and his younger sister, and he didn't feel that the third prince owed his family anything. A fight was unimaginably easy. I looked at the weaker side, but no one was injured. I didn't even cut a finger, but the other party was killed or injured. Whoever loses and who wins immediately sees, so he smiled and said to the third prince : "Be careful when you go back, I won't go there today, I'll go to your place tomorrow."
The third prince said: "It's okay, you can stay at home for a few days."
Shen Zhuo shook his head: "It's okay, so what if he misses a hit? You can't come to the mansion blatantly, right? I just want my younger sisters to stay away from going out."
Hearing Shen Zhuo's words, the third prince felt that he was comforting himself and helping him out of the siege. Isn't this a sideways statement that he can't count on him? The third prince nodded dejectedly, and took the people back. When he arrived at the mansion, he ignored Mr. Ye who had been waiting for him and rushed to the martial arts field.
Young Master Ye heard the details of the siege and relief from others, he was very puzzled, and immediately went back to ask his father Ye Zhongshu for advice.
"Father, why did the prince openly attack the ladies of Zhenbeihou's mansion? Did he want to prevent the third prince from marrying Miss Shen? But if he succeeded, wouldn't he anger Zhenbeihou? How could Zhenbeihou Sit back and watch his own daughters be killed? As long as he wants to endure, his three grown-up sons can't let the prince go! Why is the prince so risky?"
Ye Zhongshu frowned, his eyes flickered, and after a long time, he said in a low voice, "Go and look around, and let the miscellaneous people back down!"
Young Master Ye went out in person and asked the servants to retreat. After carefully inspecting the roof, walls, and windows, he returned to the house. Ye Zhongshu looked directly into Young Master Ye's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "How can he be so confident? Think about it."
Mr. Ye blinked his eyes in confusion for a long time, and asked, "The emperor supports him?"
Ye Zhongshu snorted softly: "As the emperor, how could he instruct the crown prince to assassinate the daughter of the humerus general? Now there is no food to supply the border gate, and the border gate is supported by the Marquis of Zhenbei. He is tired of being an emperor and wants to subjugate the country." ?"
Mr. Ye blinked again, and Ye Zhongshu guided in a low voice: "If the emperor doesn't support him, if he really kills someone, who can protect him?"
Mr. Ye shook his head slowly: "If he wins, he must be surrounded by enemies. At most, the emperor will not pursue it, but there will be someone from Zhenbeihou who will take revenge. The world will have nothing good to say when they see him attacking women... Even if the emperor doesn't like it... The third prince, sooner or later..." Mr. Ye wanted to laugh: "This matter is actually good for the third prince!"
Ye Zhongshu sighed slightly, looked at Young Master Ye with some disappointment, and said softly: "Don't forget what you said a while ago, occasional success is more terrifying than failure."
Young Master Ye was confused again: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Ye Zhongshu sighed deeply, and said in a low voice, "If it's a good thing, will I let you drive everyone away?"
Mr. Ye's forehead was sweating: "Please father explain to me."
Ye Zhongshu looked at Mr. Ye in a dilemma, and said, "You are still a good boy. You have never experienced real conspiracy and tricks, so you are inevitably confused."
Young Master Ye laughed: "Why am I still a child? I'm already in my thirties!"
Ye Zhongshu smiled: "He is indeed a good boy!" He breathed a sigh of satisfaction, but then his smile disappeared: "Now think about it, you are the prince, you know that if you kill those two girls, Your father will not support you to attack the other party, but Zhenbei Hou will definitely kill you. But you still did it, which means... "
Young Master Ye frowned: "It means I'm not afraid of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Ye Zhongshu smiled gloomyly, and said in a very low voice: "You, what, what, no, are you afraid?" He spoke every word clearly and slowly, and Mr. Ye stared blankly at his father, I was stunned for a while, then stammered: "Why? Why... what?"
Ye Zhongshu nodded, and Mr. Ye hardly dared to say: "Only... because... I... am... the emperor..." Emperor!
Ye Zhongshu closed his eyes and twirled his beard.
Young Master Ye panicked, "Father, does this mean that the Crown Prince is confident that he will ascend the throne soon?!"
Ye Zhongshu continued to twirl his beard without opening his eyes. Mr. Ye finally fully understood: "Why is he so confident?! Can it be so fast?!" Killing his father! Mr. Ye stood up all of a sudden, walked around the room, muttering: "What should I do? What should I do?!"
Ye Zhongshu opened his eyes and said, "Don't panic, he didn't succeed today, so he didn't push him to that point. But, we have to start taking precautions. You have to tell the third prince, don't make any trouble because of this matter." On the surface, the fire must be let go. We must also try to dissuade Third Young Master Shen from retaliating."
Mr. Ye nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand! Don't let him jump over the wall in a hurry."
Ye Zhongshu said: "Then, we also have to think about how to prevent him from making big mistakes..."
Mr. Ye continued to nod his head: "Yes, yes! Father is very careful! Please give your son more advice in the future! I'm going... think about it..." Ye Zhongshu waved his hand, and Mr. Ye went out unsteadily.
Ye Zhongshu looked at his back and said to himself, "You haven't seen it before, so you can't understand it..."
Different from the sneaky conversation between Young Master Ye and Ye Zhongshu, the family meeting in Zhenbeihou's Mansion was full of people standing inside and outside.
Someone had already reported in advance that the two young ladies were besieged by the prince's guards, rescued by the third son and the third prince, and returned in a while. Therefore, as soon as Shen Xiang and others entered the door, they were connected to the main hall. The old lady, Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Liu are all present, and there are still maids standing around.
When Yang saw Shen Xiang and Shen Wen coming in, and saw the faint blood stains on Shen Xiang's red clothes, she rushed to hug Shen Xiang and cried loudly: "My son! If something happens to you, mother will not Alive!"
Shen Xiang suppressed tears and said, "Mom, I'm fine!"
Yang looked at Shen Wen again: "Son! You can't have any accidents!"
Shen Wen covered his face with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Mother, I'm so scared!"
Shen Xiang said to Yang Shi: "My sister was frightened."
The old lady frowned and asked: "I heard that those prince's guards are besieging you, do they want to kill you?"
Shen Xiang said: "I don't know either. I heard that the crown prince has arrived at Jianning Mansion, so I dragged my sister away, but a group of guards came and chased us. Then they surrounded us, and the swordsmen looked powerful. But in fact, we were not injured."
The old lady glanced at Shen Wen, and seeing her nodding, she also nodded and said: "It seems that the prince just wants to scare you."
Yang Shi also patted her chest and said, "That's right, it's probably because..." She glanced at Shen Xiang and didn't say any more. She now knows that the third prince wants to marry Miss Shen, so the prince wants to tell Zhenbeihou's mansion not to do this, right
The old lady coughed, and concluded as the head of the family: "Let's just pretend that this didn't happen, and the second lady's ceremony of reaching the bar is still the same..."
Shen Wen twisted her body and said: "Sister Wanniang has been protecting me this time. Mother promised to adopt her as a righteous daughter, so let me handle her marriage with me." Shen Wen actually wanted Su Wanniang to marry her with her, Then the ceremony of accepting the adoptive daughter will be carried out before Jiji. The old lady knew that Su Wanniang must be the one who helped Shen Wen. Shen Wen's generosity is really valuable, so she nodded and said, "Okay, it's just a matter of getting some more clothes. Let's do it!"
Mrs. Yang agreed to Su Wanniang a long time ago, and she had no objection to this. Su Wanniang came over to salute Mrs. Yang and the old lady deeply. Mrs. Yang pulled her up and said exhaustedly: "My son, thanks to you helping Wen'er all the time, From now on, you are truly sisters."
Su Wanniang also had tears in her eyes, she helped Yang Shi and said, "Ma'am, I will never forget the grace of rebuilding the Hou Mansion."
Shen Wen clapped her hands and said: "Great, I just said that my sister Wanniang will be my sister." She helped the old lady and said: "Grandmother, let me take you to rest." Shen Zhuo said: "I will accompany you go."
After a false alarm, the old lady was also tired, so Shen Wen helped her up and walked out of the hall slowly. Su Wanniang followed Shen Wen out, and Shen Zhuo walked last.
They sent the old lady to the small courtyard behind, Shen Zhuo and Shen Wen and Su Wanniang walked back. When there was no one around, Shen Zhuo asked Shen Wen in a low voice: "Why are you so adventurous?! What's going on?!"
Shen Wen knew that Shen Zhuo would go outside to listen to information in the future, so she told him the process. Shen Zhuo heard the crown prince humiliating Shen Wen so much, so angry that the veins on his forehead stood up, and cursed in a low voice: "This villain!"
Shen Wen whispered, "He didn't take advantage either."
Shen Zhuo said seriously to Shen Wen: "You can't do this in the future! You are too careless! This time, the crown prince must know what's going on with you."
Shen Wen nodded and said: "He knows that I'm not a fool, he would suspect that I designed those things before, but he still doesn't know what I did."
Shen Zhuo sighed: "Stop talking about him, I don't even know what you did!"
Shen Wen smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have done most of what we should do now, you just need to follow the third prince and protect him."
Shen Zhuo had no choice but to nod, seeing someone coming this way, he reminded him again: "If you go out in the future, you must be more careful."
Shen Wen nodded obediently, and Shen Zhuo didn't say anything.
Marquis Pingyuan heard that his people came back and said that more than thirty guards besieged several women in Zhenbeihou's mansion, but they didn't succeed. He deeply felt the strength of Zhenbeihou's women. Hearing that Second Miss Shen was surrounded, she covered her face with a handkerchief and didn't dare to watch the fight, but Ping Yuanhou thought she was definitely faking it! That woman went to the border with her bastard son! Been to Beirong! Overseas! The subordinates who came back told her about the hardships of their journey, so she wouldn't even dare to watch the fight. It seems that Second Miss Shen is a person who hides her secrets. Can this kind of person's straightforward and violent son survive? You won't bully your son, will you? Ping Yuanhou also began to dislike this marriage.
Those wives who were watching returned to the mansion, except for their own husbands, they never dared to mention what they heard to others. People who have connections with the Lu family conveyed the process to Old Madam Lu in great confidentiality.
After hearing this, Old Madam Lu laughed a few times, and said: "The emperor has not allowed the marriage of the third prince for so many years, isn't it just to guard against it? The prince should not have touched the Zhenbeihou's mansion." Then he The smile disappeared, and she pondered for a long time, then sighed helplessly: "Someone will hire another good doctor for the crown princess, only if she becomes pregnant."
After the person left, Old Madam Lu turned his back to the wall for a long time, shook his head and said: "Zhuzi! Shuzi!" After a long time, he murmured: "We must have a child as soon as possible..."
When the emperor heard about this, he just smiled. He always knew that the crown prince couldn't let go of the second daughter of Marquis of Zhenbei, and always wanted to ruin that girl, but he couldn't succeed every time, and now it seemed that he had been put on the line again. He didn't mind the prince's incompetence, he could understand the prince's thoughts at a glance, which made him feel relieved. It's just that the second daughter of Zhenbei Hou's family, no matter how stupid she is, seems to know how to poke the prince's heart.
The emperor said to Eunuch Sun: "Go and watch and see what kind of marriage the Zhenbeihou Mansion wants to find for that second lady." It would be wrong if this woman married into a powerful family.
Eunuch Sun agreed, knowing that the emperor really paid attention to Miss Shen Er.
As for the elixir, the emperor didn't care. Seeing Mao Daochang every day during these times, one's sincerity can still be seen. Taoist Mao really cared about his health, explaining to him all the precious medicinal materials used in alchemy, telling him their properties and their effects. People say that taking pills is poisonous, it's because they haven't eaten the best ones. Can those practiced for the emperor be the same as those practiced for others? How many emperors in the previous dynasty indulged in elixir and hoped for longevity, but no one was poisoned to death.
The emperor's favorite thing now is to guide and talk about immortals with Taoist Mao. These various battles outside the palace can probably be balanced with each other, and he doesn't have to come forward to do anything.
When the prince returned to the East Palace, he was afraid for a while. He turned around and thought, and realized that he was impulsive at the time, but luckily he didn't kill him. But this Second Miss Shen seems to have tricked herself so many years ago! The lantern festival in the distant Marquis Changle's mansion, the conversation at the Lantern Festival, the queen's poisoning, the fourth princess' disfigurement... The prince even felt that this time, it was the Second Miss Shen who "tempted" himself by pretending to be stupid for many years. What a stupid thing to do! He felt the rage of being fooled: she played with herself for so many years! That girl with cheeks painted like a monkey's butt! A poisonous snake that can hide itself so thoroughly! If he knew that she was such a person, he would never meet her and give her a chance to attack him! …
He couldn't tell his staff that he made a major mistake, which might have caused his mother's embarrassment and his sister's disfigurement... He could only say to his staff over and over again: "That woman must die! She must die! She must die! … " repeated N times.
The staff members looked at each other in blank dismay: This Second Miss Shen can be regarded as the crown prince's nemesis, she is simply an invincible Xiaoqiang! For so many years, I have been talking about how stupid and weak she is, but in fact, she turns out to be extremely smart. No wonder the prince can't count on her every time! Just this time, the crown prince suffered from being dumb again, the guards went straight up and didn't kill her, how else could they kill her? !
An aide suddenly summoned up his courage and said: "Prince, I would like to recommend someone to the prince. He is quick-witted and good at calculating. At that time, he was sent to the East Palace. We were afraid that he was only an official, so we gave him a civil position. But after he became an official, he still said repeatedly that he wanted to serve the prince. I brought him in today. I originally wanted to introduce him to the prince later. Now that His Highness has something to do, why not let him in? Listen to his opinion?"
The prince pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is this person's name? What is his background?"
The staff member said: "This man's surname is Zheng Mingqian, and his character is humble. He is from Lingzhou. The fourteenth are young talents."
The prince nodded and said, "Let him in."
