As soon as the door curtain fell, there was a scream outside the door, followed by Shen Wen crying loudly. The people in the house hurried out and saw Shen Wen lying on the path in the yard, crying and complaining of pain, while Su Wanniang was supporting her anxiously.
Yang quickly asked: "What's the matter?! What's the matter?!"
A woman on one side said: "Second Miss stepped on the side of her cloak when she went down the stone steps and fell to the ground!"
Yang slapped her thigh angrily: "You don't worry! Did you break it?"
Shen Wen cried and said: "I broke it! My leg hurts so much! Mother, come and hold my hand!" Yang hurriedly went over and squatted beside Shen Wen, and took Shen Wen's hand to comfort: "Don't worry!" Don't cry, the more you cry, the more it hurts!"
Shen Xiang walked over and cursed: "You idiot!" About to touch Shen Wen's leg, Shen Wen screamed: "Don't touch it, don't touch it! It hurts!"
Yang said: "Go quickly! Find Shi Langzhong and his disciples."
The old lady seemed relieved and said: "In this case, Wen'er should not go to the Fa conference."
Yang suddenly remembered: "Oh! There is still a Fa conference! Xiang'er, you go!"
Shen Xiang said annoyedly, "I won't go!"
Shen Wen cried and said: "Sister, don't go either! Stay with me!"
Shen Xiang despised Shen Wen even more: "How old are you?! If you fall, you need everyone to accompany you?!"
Mrs. Yang pulled Shen Wen to worry: "We have already posted posts in our house, why do we have to go to someone and express it, otherwise people will say that our house is not benevolent and so on."
Shen Xiang said: "Then I'll go on a horse, I don't want to ride in that suffocating carriage."
Yang compromised: "Okay, okay, you ride a horse, give something there and say the name of our house, and come back quickly! Don't talk too much!" To avoid leaving a bad impression on others.
Shen Xiang got up and went to the front with an unhappy face. Seeing her, Shen Zhuo pretended to be surprised and asked, "Hey? Why is it you? Where's my little sister?"
Shen Xiang said disdainfully: "That stupid man stepped on his cloak and hurt himself!"
Shen Zhuo laughed: Shen Wen is really a liar without discussion.
Someone brought Shen Xiang a prepared horse, Shen Zhuo became serious, and said to Shen Xiang: "You want to go on a horse? There are a lot of refugees in this city now. If you show your face like this, if someone plots to do something wrong..."
Shen Xiang took the veiled headband from Chun Lu who was chasing him and put it on, then put on the cloak, then took the heavy whip from another maidservant, and said to Shen Zhuo: "If I am in the capital I can't even protect myself, so how can I go to the battlefield in the future? Don't treat me like that little idiot."
Shen Zhuo chuckled, didn't say anything to Shen Xiang, and signaled everyone to get on the horses, and let the guards drive the three carriages to set off. There used to be four cars, but Shen Wen and Yang's stopped sitting, and now there are three cars. The carriage was loaded with old clothes, quilts and some food, but the outside of the carriage was exactly the same, with the same decoration as the carriage carrying people, which was also the protection measure that the Hou Mansion had always taken.
The mighty Hou's guards escorted three carriages to Xiaoyunguan outside the city. People watched from the side, and they all said that there must be female relatives from the Zhenbeihou Mansion in the three carriages. The girl in red who was also riding a horse in the guard had already been singled out as the "Tiger Girl of the Jiangmen" and was no longer included among the female family members of the Houmen who needed protection.
When they arrived at the crowded city gate, a group of people dressed as refugees rushed out, shouting: "Grab food!" and plunged into the guards of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. The guards naturally punched and kicked them. These people turned around and ran, and there were guards chasing them. Shen Zhuo shouted: "Don't chase! Protect the carriage!"
The guards returned to the left and right of the convoy, and followed the convoy, leaving the city gate.
Shen Xiang shook his head: "Is the order in the capital so chaotic? Do you dare to rob in broad daylight?"
Shen Zhuo smiled: "It's still in the city, it will be even more chaotic when you leave the city in a while!"
Shen Xiang let out a long breath: "It's a good thing that idiot didn't come, otherwise I would just cry!"
Shen Zhuo laughed.
Not far from the city gate, suddenly, a large group of people rushed over aggressively with sticks, and the guards hurriedly surrounded the carriage to the center.
Holding the whip, Shen Xiang frowned and said, "There are over a hundred of these people, right? What are they going to do?"
Shen Zhuo said seriously: "They want to grab the carriage."
Shen Xiang asked in disbelief: "Why grab the carriage? It's just some old clothes and quilts. I heard from my mother that I don't have a few catties of food."
Shen Zhuo turned to Shen Xiang and said, "Sister, you don't know the sufferings of the poor! These things are very precious to them."
Shen Xiang loosened the handle of the whip: "Then let them snatch it away."
Shen Zhuo rolled his eyes at Shen Xiang: "You are really soft. Be careful that after they rob the money, they will rob you."
Shen Xiang clenched his whip again: "Then they are courting death!"
While speaking, those people had already arrived in front of the guards, Shen Zhuo shouted: "They are all refugees, don't hurt their lives."
After hearing this, the guards did not dare to draw out their swords, and could only fight with the comers with scabbard weapons. These people didn't get entangled with the guards. After pushing the guards aside, they went to the carriages, opened the curtains one by one, and after looking at them, they went back again and threw all the things in the carriages out. The floor is full of clothes and bedding.
Many people coming and going outside the city gate watched from a distance, Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang didn't do anything, they sat on the saddle and watched the chaos.
Shen Xiang frowned and said, "They seem to be looking for something."
Shen Zhuo tilted his face and said, "Probably because he wanted to find a suitable dress."
Shen Xiang shook his head: "These people are all men, and their clothes should be suitable." What's so special about men's clothes? Cut for a wide fit, belted to define the waist. Only the sons of rich families have high demands.
Shen Zhuo said heavily: "It must be the wrong color."
Shen Xiang glared at Shen Zhuo through the veil, and Shen Zhuo sat up straight: "Be careful, they are coming at you."
While speaking, more than a dozen people saw Shen Xiang in red on the horse, and rushed over with sticks.
Protecting the eldest lady is not the same as protecting the carriage loaded with old clothes. The guards immediately cheered up and beat the comer ruthlessly. Shen Zhuo led the horse forward, blocking Shen Xiang's side, Shen Xiang shouted: "Get out of the way! Don't get in my way!"
Shen Zhuo turned his head and said, "Don't be too fierce, there are so many people watching! Who would dare to marry you in the future?!"
Shen Xiang said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" He swung a long whip and hit a person who was rushing towards her somersault. Then there was another series of crisp whipping sounds, causing several people to run away screaming.
Shen Zhuo shouted to the onlookers outside the melee: "This is the clothes and food donated by the Zhenbeihou Mansion to the Xiaoyun Temple. Now they are being robbed. My mansion does not want to kill people, but things cannot be left to bad people." Everyone come and get it! Anyone who sees it will have a share!"
There are many refugees fleeing famine outside the city, hoping that the capital will be rich and have something to eat. Hearing Shen Zhuo's shout, they all felt that there was a pie in the sky, and rushed towards him shouting. Among them, some of them had gone through hardships, and when they saw those looters throwing clothes and food on the ground, they were already angry in their hearts, but now they heard Shen Zhuo's words, calling these people "bad guys", and rushed forward to fight with those people. There was a fight between the men who were ruining things by the wagon.
After a chaotic battle, the real and fake refugees dispersed, the guards of the Hou Mansion tied up more than a dozen people, all the belongings of the three-horse carriage were robbed, and there was not even a piece of cloth left on the ground.
Shen Xiang put away the whip, put it on the side of the saddle and said, "It just so happens that I don't want to go to that puja, so it will save trouble."
Shen Zhuo also nodded and said, "We don't have to travel a few miles, and we saved a lot of horse fodder."
Shen Xiang frowned at Shen Zhuo: "Why are you always not serious?"
Shen Zhuo smiled and said, "Who said that? Where am I wrong?"
Shen Zhuo sent someone to Xiaoyun Temple to give Yinliang, and told about the siege of refugees on the road, so that people in the capital could have something to talk about, and asked the guards to send the captured "refugees" to the government office in the capital. He chatted with Shen Xiang all the way, drove the empty carriage back to the city.
In Zhenbeihou's mansion, Shi Helin and Duan Zeng were invited into the mansion, along with Su Wanniang's younger brother Su Chuanya.
Yang Shi and Liu Shi met them in the main living room. As soon as he heard that Second Miss Shen had fallen, Shi Helin immediately said, "I'd better let my apprentice take a look at it. As for the bones, he is better than blue."
Mrs. Yang asked Duan Zeng to go to Shen Wen's courtyard, and Su Chuanya also went with her. Mrs. Qian, who was beside Mrs. Yang, said that she would accompany her. They went out. Shi Helin checked Mrs. Yang's pulse in the main hall. Mrs. Yang asked the old lady to be invited to let Langzhong Shi take a look.
When they arrived at Shen Wen's courtyard, Grandma Qian said, "Let's put up a screen!"
Su Wanniang heard this, and put a screen in front of Shen Wen's bed. Shen Wen was crying on the bed, and Su Chuanya jumped up and shouted: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, Mr. Duan will show you You'll be fine..."
Duan Zeng had been wary of Shen Wen for a long time, and asked with a frown, "Can you move your toes?"
Shen Wen sobbed and said, "Can...can..."
Duan Zeng asked again: "Is it swollen?"
Shen Wen cried and said: "The big toe is swollen, and the place where the calf fell is also swollen. I can't touch it... Woo... It hurts me to death..."
They had cooperated before, and Duan Zeng probably knew what Shen Wen was pretending, so he sighed and said to Su Wanniang: "It looks like it might be a broken bone, don't let her move around, just take a good rest for a month, these ten days are best lie down."
Su Wanniang nodded hurriedly, and Su Chuanya said anxiously: "Then why don't you prescribe some painkillers for Miss?"
Duan Zeng glanced at Su Chuanya: "You are not yet ten years old, why bother? Prescribe the medicine and ask the master to prescribe it. Go, go back and find him!" He was too lazy to write a prescription for a person pretending to be sick!
Pulling Su Chuanya to leave, Su Chuanya shook off Duan Zeng's hand and said, "I want to stay with my sister for a while!" Duan Zeng had no choice but to go back to see Mrs. Yang by himself.
Madam Qian said to Su Wanniang: "Take good care of Miss." She also followed Duan Zeng away.
In the hall, Duan Zeng said to Shi Helin: "Second Miss Shen must have a broken bone, you should look at it."
Shi Helin frowned and said: "Oh, the bone is broken! It hurts! Second Miss Shen is a girl again, this medicine is very precious..."
Duan Zeng frowned at Shi Helin, and when Shi Helin saw him, he immediately said, "But! Hou Fu is our regular customer! My medicine will be sold at a discount..."
The old lady hurriedly said: "No need to pay, no need to pay, all good medicines are used, and we will pay for it."
Duan Zeng stared at Shi Helin disdainfully, and said to Yang: "Actually, the second lady just wants to rest, and the medicine is just to relieve the pain. If she can bear it..."
Mrs. Yang quickly said: "Ah! She can't bear it. Doctor Shi, please prescribe the medicine! It's best that she doesn't feel any pain at all."
Shi Helin smiled and said: "It always hurts a little..." Before he finished speaking, a servant ran in and said: "The third son and the eldest lady are back, they were robbed, and everything is gone!"
Yang's face turned pale with fright: "What... what... Xiang'er..." She almost slipped out of the chair, but was supported by Madam Qian.
Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang came in one after the other, saluted Yang Shi, Yang Shi stared at Shen Xiang, seeing that her clothes were neat and her hair was not messed up, she was relieved.
Shen Xiang said: "Mother, it's fortunate that my little sister didn't go out today, otherwise those refugees would have to be dragged out of the car."
Yang's face turned pale again: "Refugees? What did they do?"
Shen Zhuo said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to grab some clothes and food, and robbed everything in the car, so we didn't go to Xiaoyun Temple..."
The old lady understood as soon as she heard it, the corners of her mouth drooped in anger, her fingers clenched the prayer beads so hard that her knuckles burst out. Seeing the old lady's hand, Mrs. Liu who was standing beside her frowned slightly, but immediately calmed down.
Yang called: "What are you still thinking about going to Xiaoyun Temple?! If someone comes to snatch you, you should come back immediately! Don't ask for the carriage! Why are you so ignorant as a brother?! Your sister is a girl, you have to protect her." Good for her! What can I do if something goes wrong?!"
Shen Xiang said arrogantly: "Who needs his protection?!"
You don't need it, but Wen'er... Yang was about to say something, but she stopped suddenly, her eyes widened, and she was dumbfounded on the spot. Shi Helin was terrified, hurried up and said: "Madam! Madam!" He stretched out two fingers: "Madam, what is this?"
Yang rolled her eyes and said with some difficulty: "Yes... two..."
Shi Helin looked relieved: "Ma'am, don't panic in everything, be careful of blood rushing to your head..."
Mrs. Yang turned her head to look at Mrs. Qian, and then at the old lady. The old lady sighed at her, lowered her eyes and said, "Today is really not a good day. Wen'er broke a bone. Our house's car I have been robbed again, so I have to recite scriptures and burn incense.”
Yang couldn't make a sentence: "I... I will accompany... my bridesmaid..."
The old lady cast a sideways glance at Yang Shi, sighed again secretly that Yang Shi came from a small family, and she had no courage, and said: "You don't have to accompany me, don't forget to pay the doctor's money!" She got up and thanked Shi Helin, and left.
Yang asked a little carelessly: "How much are the two doctors?"
Shi Helin looked at Duan Zeng carefully: "Two...one and two halves, right?"
Mrs. Liu agreed right away, and asked someone to fetch the silver and handed it over to Shi Helin. Shi Helin thanked Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu respectfully responded, but Mrs. Yang was a little distracted, as if she didn't hear.
Shen Zhuo smiled and went to help Yang Shi and said: "Mother, don't be afraid, we are all fine?" He squeezed Yang Shi hard.
Mrs. Yang nodded and said, "Okay, okay, help me go back and have a rest, I'm very blocked."
Madam Qian said, "Let me help Madam go back to the yard."
Shen Zhuo let go, said with a smile: "Mum, rest well, don't worry, we are here for nothing."
Shen Xiang also said: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten how many years I have practiced martial arts? What is there to be afraid of?"
Yang looked at Shen Zhuo anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... I have to lie down."
Shen Xiang came over and helped Yang Shi's other arm: "Mother, I'll help you to rest." Liu Shi also said: "I'll go back with mother too." Yang is gone.
Shi Helin frowned and looked at their backs, and said to Shen Zhuo in a low voice: "I thought Madam was suffering from wind disease. At that moment, Madam's complexion was not good."
Shen Zhuo sighed: "My mother was only worried because we were robbed outside. In fact, she was too worried. How could the Zhenbei Hou Mansion be so easily calculated? Oh, speaking of it, I would like to introduce you to a good customer , a lot of money."
Shi Helin's eyes lit up: "Who?!"
Shen Zhuo said: "Pingyuan Houfu."
Shi Helin's eyeballs almost fell out: "Oh, that's really a rich family!"
Duan Zeng snorted coldly: "Their family is not only rich, but also has a famous patient, Miss Zhang who has been ill for many years. Don't be happy, you won't know if it will be cured or not!"
Shi Helin frowned at Duan Zeng: "Do you know that children have to say nice things?"
Duan Zeng stared: "Who is a child?! I'm going to be eighteen, I can leave you!"
Shi Helin immediately had a pleasant face: "Okay, we don't quarrel. Even if it can't be cured, there will be a consultation fee if we go there, won't we?"
Shen Zhuo immediately smiled and said, "Yes! There must be quite a few, let's go now!"
Duan Zeng said, "Xiaoya is still in the mansion!"
Shen Zhuo hurriedly called people: "When the time comes, find a car to take Mr. Su back to Shi Langzhong's clinic!" Someone responded, and Shen Zhuo left the Hou's mansion with the two doctors, got into a carriage in the Hou's mansion, and headed for Pingyuan Hou Fu went.
When they arrived at the Pingyuanhou Mansion, Shen Zhuo gave his name, and the housekeeper inside greeted them, and took the three of them in with a smile, and invited them into the living room at the entrance. As soon as they were seated, a series of servants brought towels and hot tea, followed by pastries of various colors. It's a famine year, and the food on the street is extremely expensive, but here it is for nothing. Shi Helin was flattered, and whispered to Duan Zeng: "Look, he is rich. We can eat and drink before we go to the doctor. How delicious this tea is! Such a table costs two taels of silver outside. Right? Even if they don't pay the consultation fee, we didn't come in vain... "
Duan Zeng bit his teeth and said, "Don't say a few words! Don't let people think that we are here to take advantage!"
Before Shen Zhuo could sit still, someone came to invite him, "Master Shen, please come first."
Shen Zhuo whispered to the two doctors: "I'll go and brag to you, you just wait."
Shi Helin hurriedly said: "Thank you very much." After Shen Zhuo left, he whispered to Duan Zeng again: "This Pingyuanhou's mansion is much stricter than Zhenbeihou's mansion. Without Mr. Shen, we would definitely not be able to enter. .”
Duan Zeng frowned slightly, drinking tea silently. He thought about what happened just now, and he understood why Shen Wen pretended to be lame. It was obvious that she knew someone was going to plot against her, so she avoided it like this. Duan Zeng smiled wryly: It's another fairy dance, and I can be regarded as that girl's partner.
It was only after Shen Zhuo entered the triple courtyard that he met Marquis Pingyuan.
This was Shen Zhuo's first visit to Marquis Pingyuan, and he couldn't help saluting respectfully.
Marquis Pingyuan was spinning the jade ball in his hand, squinting at this "little brat" of Marquis Zhenbei who wanted to marry his daughter in the future. He knew that Shen Zhuo was good-looking, but he felt that it was not good enough!
After saluting, Shen Zhuo saw that there was a servant beside Pingyuanhou, and said with a smile: "I have a few words that I want to explain to Lord Hou in private."
Ping Yuanhou said to the people on the left and right: "Go out and watch carefully."
Everyone left the hall, and Shen Zhuo immediately got to the point: "Master Hou, around the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor will send someone to assassinate Lord Hou, and he wants the lives of Lord Hou's family."
Ping Yuanhou sneered slightly: "Then let him try."
Shen Zhuo shook his head and said: "Master Hou, don't fight head-on with him. Before the time comes, you can't let the emperor kill you. This time, let the emperor succeed, so as to appease the emperor's anger. It is best that Lord Hou is seriously injured and one person in the family dies. Besides , these are not difficult."
Ping Yuanhou pondered: "This is also..."
Seeing that Marquis Pingyuan agreed, Shen Zhuo continued: "People in my house suggest, please Marquis..." So that's it.
Marquis Ping Yuan listened carefully, and asked: "Is that assassin reliable?"
Shen Zhuo said: "Reliable, Mr. Zhang is not here, I will go to Lord Hou to protect him when the time comes, please arrange for me to enter the mansion."
Only then did Ping Yuanhou look at Shen Zhuo, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you here to protect me? You know how to see the stitches."
Shen Zhuo blushed a little, but still said seriously: "Master Hou must always have someone reliable by his side."
Marquis Pingyuan laughed, laughed, looked at Shen Zhuo and asked: "In your mansion, who is that?"
Shen Zhuo said seriously: "He is a person who has been to the Hall of Yama."
That should be a person who has passed the test of life and death. Marquis Pingyuan, who has personally experienced life and death many times, was in awe, nodded and said: "Okay, just follow what he said, I will let people prepare."
Shen Zhuo went out of the hall and returned to the front yard. The housekeeper came with him and gave Shi Helin and Duan Zeng two taels of silver each. I can't see anyone. I said I won't let the two of you wait, and next time I see the time is right, Pingyuanhoufu will go to the medical hall to pick you up."
Shi Helin happily took the money, and said repeatedly: "It's all right! I'm so embarrassed to take the money without consulting the doctor..."
Duan Zeng didn't take the money: "I don't want it. I'll take it next time when I see a doctor!"
The butler smiled and said, "It's not the consultation fee, it's the money for two errands. Madam said, the doctor must take it, otherwise it will be difficult to invite the doctors next time."
Duan Zeng still didn't pick it up, Shi Helin reached out to pick it up and said, "I'll hold it for him, this kid is just too dull..."
The butler smiled and said, "Don't be disgusted with the two gentlemen. Next time I bring someone to invite the Langzhong, don't refuse."
Shi Helin said with a smile: "No, no, we are here whenever we are called!"
Shen Zhuo said: "I will take the two doctors for an empty trip, so I will take the two back to the medical clinic."
Shi Helin hurriedly said: "Thank you very much! Third Young Master Shen is kind!"
After leaving the Pingyuanhou Mansion together, Shen Zhuo sent the two doctors back to Shi Helin's clinic. When Shi Helin got off the carriage, Shen Zhuo grabbed Duan Zeng who was about to step out, and said in a low voice, "Before or after the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, don't go out, wait for someone to call you, and prepare the medicinal materials to stop bleeding and pain." .”
Duan Zeng's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "Still jumping?!" Shen Zhuo got in without knowing, Duan Zeng nodded and got out of the car.
Su Chuanya was actually very happy to be left alone in the Hou Mansion. He waited in the living room until Su Wanniang came to see him when she was free, pestered Su Wanniang and said, "Sister, I haven't seen Miss for a long time, and now she is injured, can I go and see her again? Chat with her?"
Su Wanniang knew that Shen Wen was tempted by the Zhang family brothers, probably the "Miss Zhang", but she couldn't let her younger brother think about it, and said sternly: "Can you help me by going to see her? You know how to see a doctor? Do you know how to heal? If you just want to say a few words, regardless of the pain or itching, you don’t waste this time, you might as well let her rest for a while!"
Su Chuanya was very shocked, and said dissatisfiedly: "I can't do it now, but I will make great achievements in the future! I want to be a civil servant! Don't underestimate people!"
Su Wanniang curled her lips: "You are now a famous teacher? Go to a famous academy? Have you written a famous article? You don't know if you can pass the exam as a scholar, and you are still a civil servant? I am satisfied if I can be a doctor."
In this regard, Su Chuanya is also a little guilty. Generally, if you want to pass the imperial examination, ordinary private schools are not enough, and you must have a teacher to guide you. And famous teachers don't have money to invest in their names, they need someone to recommend them, otherwise, whoever wants to teach a student with a white eye will not say that he disrespects the teacher in the future, and it may even damage the reputation of the teacher. ...Anyway, all these things, with the background of Su Wanniang's maidservant and Shi Helin's status as a doctor, it is impossible to recommend Su Chuanya to be a famous teacher, which will greatly limit his future development...
Su Chuanya got angry: "Master Wenchang came down to earth as a star, and he will achieve it naturally, so it doesn't matter if you don't study!"
Su Wanniang slapped Su Chuanya on the head, "What can I do? Talk big but don't learn! Go back and read the book!" Su Chuanya was sent away.
----------------------------------
The prince looked at the few staff members who walked up to him with fear on their faces, and asked sharply, "What happened?!"
One person replied tremblingly: "This...Second Miss Shen stepped on her cloak and fell down when she was about to leave the house... Uh, so, Miss Shen replaced her... So, it didn't work..."
The prince's eyes widened in disbelief: "It didn't work again?! You bastards! How could you not make it again?! You can also attack Miss Shen!"
"Miss Shen didn't take the carriage, but rode a horse. Our people searched the carriage and found no one. Someone tried to get close to Miss Shen, but she whipped her away."
The prince was anxious: "Such a simple thing! What did you do? Didn't you say to bring more people? A woman! Can't go up together?!"
The staff replied: "In order to humiliate Miss Shen Er, we chose a place near the city gate with a lot of people. Come here and fight with our people, but in the end, you won't succeed..."
The prince went crazy: "This is impossible! There are spies on our side! Their house must have got the letter!"
All the aides peeped at each other nervously. If they said that, everyone would be suspicious, and they would be suspicious too. One person hurriedly said: "The doctor hired by the Hou's mansion said that Second Miss Shen has a fractured bone, and she will not be able to move for a while. If they get the letter, they can use other methods to avoid it. If they get sick temporarily, they can't get up. You can come, you don't need to hurt Second Miss Shen."
The other also said: "If they know, they should be cruel to our people, but Mr. Shen said that they are refugees, and he didn't let the guards do anything. Later, they just tied up a dozen people and sent them to the Yamen."
The prince was still indignant, and one of them hesitated and said: "Every time we attack Miss Shen, we can't do anything..."
Everyone looked at him, the prince's eyes were filled with anger, the man stammered in fright, "Maybe her horoscope is inherently contradictory to His Royal Highness..."
The prince roared angrily: "How dare you say that she restrains me?! How can she restrain me, the daughter of a courtier?! Ben Gong is the prince! She is a nobleman of the heavenly family! What is she?! A lowly woman!"
The person hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, forgive me, please forgive me!"
The prince was panting, but he had to admit in his heart that every time he wanted to punish that Second Miss Shen of the Marquis of Zhenbei, he had never succeeded! It's really evil! If he was born in a later life, he would categorically say: This is unscientific! But now, he can only say repeatedly: "There must be spies! There are traitors among the people in our Zhenbeihou Mansion! Every time I send them a letter! Check it out!"
Everyone agreed with one voice - as long as you don't doubt yourself, anything is fine.
Another person said: "Also, the old lady in their mansion sent someone to visit Zhenbeihou and send some things. Their mansion sent people to the border."
The prince waved his hands impatiently: "Do they have any items or letters?"
The staff reported: "It's the letters from the old lady and the Yang family and Liu family, all asking the people there to take care of their health, and they also said that it is a disaster year, and if there is a need, tell the family..."
The prince gritted his teeth: "The things they need? I want them to have nothing! Now the military pay has been reduced, and I will cut off their military supplies in the future! Let them cut down their troops! Let them be defeated!"
The prince waved his fist violently, and the saliva splashed out. He was so angry that everyone nodded their heads to show their support.
At this time, not only the crown prince was angry, but also the third prince.
He was also frowning with thick eyebrows, fidgeting in front of Old Master Jian, the fourth prince glanced at him, and rushed to answer a few questions from Old Master Jian, trying to help the third prince cover up, but the third prince was still caught by Old Master Jian and asked him One question he couldn't answer.
The old master Jian was angry, "You are close to the weak crown, if you don't work hard, you will be the boss in the future, you will be sad! Go, "If you are in a superior position, you will not be maimed; if you are in a subordinate position, you will not help your superiors; if you are righteous and do not ask others, you will have no complaints. Blame the heavens, but not others.' Write three policy theories! Be sure to have your own opinions! Target each other!"
The third prince looked indifferent, and the fourth prince secretly sighed: Well, don't want to sleep in these few days.
After school, he resigned from Mrs. Jian, and the two returned to the palace together. In order to follow the fourth prince's lame footsteps, the third prince asked the eunuchs to go first, and walked slowly with the fourth prince alone, but while walking, he repeatedly clenched his fists.
The Fourth Prince finally asked: "Brother Third Emperor, do you have anything to worry about?"
The third prince took a deep breath and said, "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei was besieged by refugees outside the city gate! You said...you said...is there such a despicable villain?!"
The fourth prince also shook his head and sighed along with the third prince, and said, "Miss Shen has martial arts skills, so she shouldn't have been harmed." What he thought in his heart was: This is the person who made the move again, and let Miss Shen take over the prince's tricks. Zhao'er angered Brother San Huang.
The third prince looked up: "I really... I really..." He suddenly looked at the fourth prince: "Fourth prince, tell me, why do people have to be good?!"
The fourth prince was stunned, and the third prince said angrily: "My mother and concubine always say that one should be a good person, why?!"
The fourth prince was a little depressed, and said in a low voice: "My mother and concubine also said the same, she said that being a bad person would be very painful."
The third prince said: "But look at how painful my mother's death is! There is no reward for being a good person! But being a bad person can do bad things as much as you want!"
The fourth prince thought for a while and said: "I heard people say that being a good person is the greatest blessing."
The third prince was entangled and thought about it for a long time.
The fourth prince said again in a low voice: "Besides, my concubine mother said that pain includes physical and mental pain. If it is a good person, it may only be physical pain, and the innermost part will not hurt. But if it is a bad person, it will be very painful inside. Life is better than death. Because everyone has a conscience, and those who violate it will not have a good life, nor will they end well, it’s just a matter of time.” After finishing speaking, the fourth prince was startled, didn’t he Are you cursing the prince? Busily added: "This is just what my concubine mother said, I don't know if it's right."
The third prince sighed deeply: "It sounds right to me. My mother and concubine always said that I would rather be betrayed than I, because what is owed must always be repaid with interest. She was really right, look at the waste..." He didn't finish speaking, looking a little frustrated.

The fourth prince was in a gloomy mood, he limped away for a long time while supporting Ding Neishi.
