From the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Wen patrolled outside Pingyuanhou's mansion every night. And Shen Zhuo also left the mansion after dark, went to an agreed wall outside Pingyuanhou's mansion, jumped over the wall, was received by the people inside, and spent the night with Pingyuanhou in the main hall where Pingyuanhou was.
For several days, including the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, nothing happened.
In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace in the middle of the night, Hei Ying first went to the imperial garden, and then entered the imperial study. He sprinkled the fine dust on the soft pillow of the couch, opened the sandalwood box, and lightly dusted it on the incense cakes...here...there...he used up a bag of fine powder in his hand before leaving the imperial study.
On the evening of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, as soon as Shen Wen arrived near Pingyuanhou's Mansion, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly leaned against a wall in the shadows and stopped moving.
Soon, there should be more than forty people around her, all of them masked in black, quietly groped towards the courtyard wall of Pingyuanhou's Mansion.
Shen Wen remembered that Eunuch Gu said that the emperor asked him to bring "several people", and thought that the emperor really didn't like to exaggerate. Eunuch Gu estimated that the emperor would send more than 20 people, but he still underestimated the emperor's anger.
Those people jumped onto the wall in twos and threes, and some of them stayed outside to guard. Shen Wen moved silently in the shadows and approached Pingyuanhou's mansion.
It seemed that only a moment later, in the side of the mansion where Pingyuanhou and Mrs. Li lived, there were a few clear and clear beating sounds of clappers, and immediately, the lights in the enclosure were brightly lit. The big torch illuminated the other side of the wall, as if it was on fire. At the same time, from the high place of the house, the arrow strings slammed, and countless black arrows flew through the air and shot into the courtyard.
Shen Wen gave up the idea of going into the yard to see clearly, and waited obediently outside.
In the courtyard, the left arm of Eunuch Gu, who is leading the horse, is wrapped in a red cloth, and behind him is Cao Kai, the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army assigned to him by the emperor.
Before leaving the palace, Eunuch Gu told everyone to look at the red cloth on his arm and follow him into Pingyuanhou's mansion. Everyone is covered with black cloth, and a sign is really needed to distinguish who is the leader. Perhaps because he was afraid of following the wrong person, Cao Kai watched Eunuch Gu tie the red cloth, and then stared at him every step of the way, fearing that someone would change in the middle.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he knew that there was no way to change people. No one else could move as quickly as Eunuch Gu. Except for a dozen or so people, none of them could keep up. Fortunately, they followed Eunuch Gu closely, and managed to avoid the densest arrow rain. Many people behind them fell under the arrows. Some people saw that something was wrong, turned around quickly and escaped from the courtyard outside the wall. The people from the Yuanhou Mansion did not leave the manor to chase after him, they only concentrated on shooting the man in black in the courtyard.
Someone shouted: "There are thieves!"
Teams of servants poured out from all corners, occupying different positions, and divided the courtyard into several patterns. The assassins who escaped the rain of arrows fell into these encirclements again, and one person had to fight with many people. Some of the servants held sticks and some held spears, which were clearly the skills of soldiers. Not long after, there were only three people left who followed Eunuch Gu to the inner courtyard.
Eunuch Gu flew over the wall and was in the air when a large net rolled from bottom to top. Eunuch Gu twisted around to avoid it, but the two people behind him were caught in the net and dragged to the ground. Cao Kai dodged quickly, and even took the opportunity to cross the net, and still got behind Eunuch Gu.
The inner courtyard was already full of lights, and Ping Yuanhou in pajamas was only wrapped in light armor on his chest, standing in the courtyard with a big knife in his hand.
He raised his sword to Eunuch Gu and shouted, "Who is here?!"
Eunuch Gu didn't speak, and flew towards Marquis Pingyuan, and Cao Kai had no choice but to follow him, complaining in his heart that Eunuch Gu was too desperate. At this moment, it would be great if Eunuch Gu turned around and ran away, and he could also follow him out of the siege, stab him from behind when he was about to go out of the wall, and kill him to complete the task and go back to the palace. It's good now, people are almost dead, and Eunuch Gu still wants to fight, and he is also trapped here.
Just as Cao Kai wanted to get close to Eunuch Gu, a ray of cold light fell, separating him from Eunuch Gu. Cao Kai turned his head, but saw that the opponent was a half-bald man holding a long sword. Although his head is bald, his men are not simple, and his sword is sharp. Cao Kai's martial arts are considered high-strength, so he had to go all out to fight this person at this time. After only a few rounds, he was at a disadvantage and could barely cope. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Eunuch Gu was also fighting with Ping Yuanhou.
Mr. Gu made a weapon that looked like a knife but not a sword, and it was not as wide as a sword, but the handle was extremely long, and it could be used to chop horizontally with both hands. The weapons of Eunuch Gu and Marquis Pingyuan struck ding-ding-dong-dong, sometimes even sparks splashed out.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside: "The assassins outside have all been killed!"
Eunuch Gu said loudly to Cao Kai: "Leave quickly, I will fight with him!" After speaking, he suddenly accelerated his speed, and with one move he approached Ping Yuanhou. Marquis Pingyuan retreated step by step, Eunuch Gu shouted loudly, and threw the knife in his right hand at Marquis Pingyuan, Marquis Pingyuan flashed, Eunuch Gu swung out his palm, hitting Pingyuan Marquis on the chest, Marquis Pingyuan groaned With a sound, his body swayed, but when he retreated, he swung his knife at Eunuch Gu with all his might. Eunuch Gu didn't have a knife in his hand, so he raised his arm to block it. The big knife was slashing at Eunuch Gu's left forearm, and a section of his forearm arced through the air with a stream of blood and fell to the ground.
Marquis Ping Yuan took a few steps back, fell down and sat on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood. A man in black behind him hastily stepped forward to force Duke Gu to step back.
Everyone exclaimed and surrounded Pingyuanhou.
Eunuch Gu tapped several key points on his left arm, turned around and rushed out, passing by Cao Kai, he swung his palm at the half-bald swordsman who was fighting with Cao Kai. The man seemed to be jealous of Eunuch Gu's palm strength, so he stepped aside and gave Cao Kai a chance, Cao Kai was able to escape, and followed Eunuch Gu to jump up the wall again and escape from the inner courtyard.
The entire courtyard was full of people, Eunuch Gu and Cao Kai were like rats shouted and beaten by everyone, being chased and chased by others, they could only run away desperately.
Eunuch Gu ran in the direction indicated by the red or black painted branches in the courtyard, Cao Kai naturally didn't have time to look carefully. He is now counting on Eunuch Gu to take him to the wall so that he can kill Eunuch Gu before leaving the mansion.
Soon, they rushed to the backyard of the Marquis Pingyuan's mansion, and they were about to reach the periphery. Eunuch Gu saw a small lonely firewood room. There were two black branches in front of the firewood gate, and there were several black scratches on the firewood gate. Eunuch Gu staggered suddenly, Cao Kai hurriedly looked at Eunuch Gu, only to find that Eunuch Gu's black clothes were already wet, and it seemed to be covered with blood.
Eunuch Gu panted and said, "I... I can't walk anymore, so go!"
Cao Kai secretly raised his sword and was about to stab Eunuch Gu, but Eunuch Gu looked at the servants swarming behind him, started suddenly, stumbled but quickly rushed into the small woodshed. Just as Cao Kai was about to follow, a shower of arrows came, he leaped and dodged, turned around and leaped up a section of the courtyard wall next to him. He sprinted on the wall, and the people below chased and shot arrows. He looked back hastily, and the servants had already surrounded the small woodshed. Someone gave an order, and the servants threw the torches in their hands to the small firewood room, and the small firewood room immediately burst into flames. In the raging flames, Eunuch Gu did not rush out.
Cao Kai fled all the way on the courtyard wall and looked back all the way. In the distance, the small firewood house was quickly burned to the ground, and the roof collapsed. Finally arrived at the outer wall of the Pingyuanhou Mansion, he took a last look at the small firewood house that was completely engulfed by the flames, jumped off the wall, and the people in the yard stopped chasing him. He and the people watching outside the yard Together, they fled quickly.
As soon as Eunuch Gu entered the door of the woodshed, two people came out behind the haystack in the woodshed, supported Eunuch Gu, and helped him enter the tunnel on the ground, and the two dragged the corpse out of the haystack again. It has been cast on the small roof, and the small firewood hut is on fire. The two people in the room hurriedly entered the tunnel one after another, dragged the iron plate on the ground, and covered the hole.
Eunuch Gu struggled for a while in the half-person-high tunnel, and the tunnel came to an end. When the light came from the top of his head, someone went down the rope, and Eunuch Gu pulled the rope with his right hand. He used his strength to climb out of the tunnel. The location was still in the garden of the backyard. inside. Not far from them, the small firewood house was burning into the sky, which made their place extremely dark. A man came over and ran quickly with Eunuch Gu on his back, and soon entered a room in the courtyard where Marquis Pingyuan lived.
In the middle of the night, people in Pingyuanhou's mansion burst into loud voices, and soon, many people ran out from the front and back gates of the mansion, looking for Langzhong.
Many pharmacies were called to open, and the people of Pingyuan Hou's Mansion purchased a large amount of medicines to stop bleeding and heal wounds.
Before dawn, four or five Langzhong were brought into the mansion. In the early morning, Shi Helin and Duan Zengjin entered the mansion. Behind them, another five or six doctors arrived.
Marquis Pingyuan's bedroom was closed with a heavy tent, outside the tent was only Marquis Pingyuan's right hand, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood. Before the outside doctors entered the door, they saw servants coming out of the room with basins of blood , everyone’s complexion is heavy—the blood loss is so severe, the vitality is seriously injured, and even if they recover in the future, they will not enjoy the rest of their lives... Then enter the No. 1 pulse, not to mention that Pingyuan Hou was seriously injured and lost too much blood, which is life-threatening!
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Shi Helin vomited after smelling the smell of blood. He forced his pulse and said, "This injury is serious! I lost a lot of blood. I'll go outside to prescribe..." Then he escaped from the bedroom and went straight to the yard Only then did he catch his breath and recover. Someone invited him into the living room, where he held a party.
In the bedroom, Duan Zeng came over to check his pulse, and immediately said, "I want to see this Lord Hou."
The person next to him raised the curtain, and on the bed, Eunuch Gu was lying on the bed with a face like gold paper.
Duan Zeng looked at the part of his bandaged left arm, didn't say much, took out the needle bag and opened it, pierced several large acupuncture points, then took out the medicine powder from the medical box, unwrapped the bandage, cleaned the wound, and reapplied the medicine …
After Duan Zeng finished his work, washed his hands, and took his own medical kit, someone led him out of the bedroom through another small door, without meeting the doctors waiting in front. Then, the other doctors continued to enter the room one by one, and slapped the exposed right wrist... The doctor in Liushui looked at it and then quit. From the beginning to the end, no one knew who really took the initiative to heal "Ping Yuanhou".
After the doctors wrote the prescription, they got a lot of money to seal it, saying not to leak Pingyuanhou's injury, and then Pingyuanhou's people sent the doctors back home one by one.
Duan Zeng joined Shi Helin in the courtyard. When they left the mansion, someone offered a hundred taels of gold. Shi Helin was too shocked to shut up, but Duan Zeng didn't say anything this time—that person was a eunuch, not some Pingyuanhou! Thinking about how I and my master got into the Pingyuanhou Mansion, I knew that it was the Second Miss Shen who pulled me into a trap again! If she hadn't pretended to be injured, they wouldn't have been seen by Shen Zhuo, and they wouldn't have been taken to Pingyuanhou's mansion to pave the way for entering the mansion tonight...
Duan Zeng thought angrily, since seeing her, it has been a series of rounds! One is more sinister than the other, if she doesn't keep her promise and take her out of the capital, I can't spare her!
Shen Wen watched the men in black go outside and then returned to the Marquis Mansion, but Shen Zhuo burned the firewood house and saw with his own eyes that Eunuch Gu was carried into a house in the main courtyard of Pingyuan Marquis before he went to the Marquis Mansion. Ping Yuanhou, who was still spitting red saliva, said goodbye.
Marquis Pingyuan frowned and muttered, "What kind of blood clot is this? It's disgusting!"
The person next to him said: "It's done..."
Ping Yuanhou suddenly raised his hand and said, "I don't want to know anymore!"
Shen Zhuo clasped his fists and said, "I'll take my leave first, Master Hou will never leave the mansion during the day from now on."
Ping Yuanhou nodded to Shen Zhuo: "Thank you very much."
Shen Zhuo said humbly: "I will convey it to Lord Hou." It was like avoiding gratitude.
Then he took advantage of the darkness before dawn to go back to the Hou's mansion and had a good night's sleep.
At dawn, everyone in the city knew that Pingyuanhou's mansion was attacked at night, and Pingyuanhou was seriously injured! People were shocked, and then heard a more shocking news: Ping Yuanhou's eldest daughter, Miss Zhang, who had been ill for many years, was found dead in the morning due to fright!
The Pingyuanhou's mansion was filled with solemnity, and crying could be faintly heard.
When the emperor heard that Marquis Pingyuan had been assassinated, he specially sent an imperial doctor to treat Marquis Pingyuan.
Marquis Pingyuan was half lying on the bed, his face was a little pale, and his words were a little weak: "The Emperor is worried about you, I have nothing, everything is fine."
An imperial doctor stepped forward and said, "Please allow me to take the pulse of Lord Hou..."
Marquis Pingyuan waved his hand impatiently: "No!...cough cough...no need! Please go and tell the emperor...I'm fine...cough cough...very good..."
When he waved his hand, the imperial doctor smelled a fragrance, and looked at Ping Yuanhou carefully, Ping Yuanhou actually applied powder!
In the palace, the emperor listened to Cao Kai's description: "I saw with my own eyes that Eunuch Gu hit Pingyuanhou with his palm, but he also cut off Eunuch Gu's left arm when he fell down, and Pingyuanhou vomited blood on the spot. Eunuch Gu fled to the outside world. Eunuch Gu lost his left arm and was bleeding all over his body. He was unable to run and was forced into a small firewood hut. Did not escape."
The emperor let Cao drive down, very satisfied. Cao Kai is his confidant, this person should not hide anything from him. He also listened to reports from other people: "The eldest daughter of Pingyuanhou died at night due to fright, but she didn't realize it until morning. I heard that Pingyuanhou's wife fainted to the ground after hearing the letter."
"We found a doctor who entered the mansion. He said that Marquis Pingyuan was seriously injured. He doesn't tell anyone."
"The Pingyuanhou's mansion threw all the dead assassins into the mass graves, but the one who was burned to death was chopped into small pieces. Some people said that that person hurt Pingyuanhou."
"Marquis Pingyuan won't let me get my pulse. I went up to take a closer look. His face was covered with a woman's powder..."
The emperor finally burst out laughing: "Hahaha... he actually used a woman's makeup?"
The imperial doctor replied: "That's right. I want to come to Marquis Pingyuan because of my bad complexion, and I don't want my subordinates to find out."
The emperor nodded happily, asked the imperial doctor to step back, and said to Eunuch Sun with a smile: "The Marquis of Pingyuan is afraid that if I find out that he is seriously injured, and send assassins again, he will be unable to parry. He ordered Eunuch Gu to be burned to death, but he did not Saying that he is a eunuch, it seems that he does not dare to tear face with me. That's right, my daughter lost her innocence, and he died of a daughter, so it is considered fair, let him take advantage of it! He still wants to marry me My daughter, don't even think about it!"
Eunuch Sun knew that the matter had been exposed, so he didn't mention it anymore.
It was already the New Year's Eve, and the news of Eunuch Gu's death was actually inquired by Attendant Ding Nei first. After he told the fourth prince, the fourth prince thought that the third prince had learned martial arts from Eunuch Gu, and guessed that the people in the Zhenbeihou Mansion probably intended to make the third prince more motivated. On the way to the last night banquet with the third prince, he whispered told the third prince.
When the third prince heard this, he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe, and actually choked. The fourth prince hurriedly patted him on the back, only to find that the eyes of the third prince were full of tears. The third prince choked up and said: "He will not die! He is my master, his martial arts are extremely strong, he will definitely not die! "After speaking, he hurriedly left first.
The fourth prince knew that the third prince probably didn't want to cry in front of him, and he didn't care about him.
At the banquet, the fourth prince saw that the emperor and the prince were very excited, and the third prince was depressed, so he naturally lowered his eyebrows and kept silent, thinking about it dully by himself: the emperor wanted to take revenge on Marquis Pingyuan, Gu The father-in-law went to attack Pingyuanhou's mansion at night, and as a result, Eunuch Gu died, Marquis Pingyuan was seriously injured, and Miss Zhang was frightened to death... On the surface, the emperor won.
But the fourth prince just didn't believe it! He didn't believe that the man in Zhenbeihou's mansion would allow such a thing to happen! The weirdness of that person is that everyone retreats completely. When he was worried about Su Wanniang that time, the son of the Zhang family said that the person behind the scenes was stingy and would not let his own people fall into the hands of others. Since that person united Pingyuanhou's Mansion to fight against the prince, he would never let Pingyuanhou's mansion suffer such serious damage!
Thinking of this, the fourth prince suddenly understood - this must be another game of chess! Maybe Eunuch Gu is really dead, but Marquis Pingyuan must be fine, and Miss Zhang must have faked her death.
The fourth prince peeked at the happy emperor and the prince with a rare smile on his face, and he sighed, but it's a pity that no one can tell!
He thinks he can reach this conclusion not because he is smarter than the emperor, but because he knows that the prince has such an enemy, but the emperor and the prince are still unaware, so he naturally knows this person's character better than the emperor and the prince Much more.
The fourth prince felt in a trance that he was standing between the two armies. On one side was the tall emperor and prince, while on the other side was an obscure shadow that could not even be identified as male or female. But the fourth prince felt that he was very lucky not to be on the opposite side of that shadow. That person was too scary, his actions were invisible, even though he was the emperor, he was still taken aback for a while. If it was a woman, she must be a hardcore old hag. No wonder she cried like that when she first met Su Wanniang! Can you be happy in the hands of such an insidious person? That is to say, Su Wanniang repayed that person wholeheartedly for saving her life, who else would have run away long ago? The fourth prince wished that the third prince would soon become a prince or emperor, so that he could save Su Wanniang from the fire as soon as possible, so that she would never have to be with that terrible person again!
The prince is happy from the bottom of his heart—the father is still on his side! Out of anger for him! But still not enough!
Unmarried women cannot be buried in ancestral graves, and it is the New Year's Eve. The Marquis of Pingyuan only had to bury the body for three days, then hastily selected a cemetery, and buried Miss Zhang alone on the second day of the Lunar New Year. But within a few days after Miss Zhang's funeral was buried, someone dug her grave and left her naked body in the wilderness.
Only then did the prince feel relieved.
The emperor was very unhappy when he heard this, and said to Eunuch Sun: "It's superfluous!" He angrily slapped the memorial in his hand on the table, and then coughed.
Eunuch Sun was busy serving tea for the emperor. The emperor said: "He is always like this. He is impatient and likes to do things to the extreme! It is all taught by that woman, useless things!"
Eunuch Sun persuaded in a low voice: "The prince is probably..." He couldn't go on talking, it was indeed too much to do such a sinister thing.
The emperor was angry: "I really don't know what to say about him! From the beginning of this matter, the worst thing he did was to get Pingyuanhou's mansion and Zhenbeihou's mansion to hook up! I gave Pingyuanhou a sudden , I want Pingyuanhou to be more honest, but if he does this, Pingyuanhou probably won't give up. It's really troublesome!"
Eunuch Sun didn't dare to say anything, the emperor said: "Let someone monitor Pingyuan Hou's Zhuangzi outside Beijing. If his son comes back, he will immediately take over his family!"
Eunuch Sun agreed, and the emperor scolded in disbelief: "You bastard! You know you're going to cause trouble for me!"
Indeed, as the emperor said, in Pingyuanhou's mansion, Pingyuanhou's expression was gloomy when he heard the news. After a moment of silence, he said: "Let people go out of the city to collect the corpses, burn them on the spot and then bury them, and ask the monks to chant sutras in front of the grave." Now there is no more evidence.
He was thankful that the corpse he had found had been treated properly. Although he was skinny, not only was his whole body scrubbed clean and smeared with spices, but even his fingernails and toenails were neatly trimmed, so there shouldn't be any flaws. But at the same time, he was also extremely resentful! Although this woman is not the real Miss Zhang, but being humiliated like this has also humiliated the Zhang family! In the future, when a girl from the Zhang family gets married, people will say that she is the sister of Miss Zhang who was naked after her death! Such humiliation to the descendants of the family, he is really inseparable from Liang Zi of the emperor and prince!
The jade ball in Marquis Pingyuan's hand turned very slowly. He called the clerk and ordered: "Write a letter to Madam's natal family, saying that I am fine. If you see the eldest son, let him not have to go back to Beijing. Stay outside for at least another three years or two years..." Marquis Ping Yuan never wrote by himself, not because he couldn't write well, but because he didn't want to leave any evidence. Even if the emperor intercepted these letters, he would think that Marquis Pingyuan didn't want to tell his son the news of his serious injury, for fear that his son would fall into the tiger's mouth together when he came back. He went on to say: "Write a letter to the mountains in the south, and double the number of utensils that we said to be made! Train the refugees a lot!" The people at the Zhenbeihou Mansion seem to have made up their minds not to let the prince ascend the throne, so then Support him with all your strength, you don't have to bear any notoriety, and you can get rid of the prince!
After finishing writing the letter, the man said in a low voice: "When the news about the eldest lady came, most of the capital knew about it, and probably Madam also knew about it."
Marquis Pingyuan got up and went to see Mrs. Li.
When I arrived at the main office, I heard that Mrs. Li was not feeling well, so I went back to my bedroom. Marquis Pingyuan went back to the bedroom again, and saw Mrs. Li sitting on the bed with a silk handkerchief in her hands, tears still in her eyes.
Marquis Pingyuan sat beside Li Shi, took Li Shi's hand, and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't panic."
Li said in a trembling voice: "Husband, Lord Hou, can our family be saved?" The other party has resorted to such vicious means, and will not let his family go.
Marquis Pingyuan thought of the pictures he had seen, and his two sons who were supervising the making of arrows in the south, comforted Mrs. Li and said, "Of course! Not only will there be salvation, but there will also be happiness! That kid still wants to marry the princess, and that bastard will also have a good time!" A good daughter-in-law, just wait and enjoy yourself."
Mrs. Li forced a smile, held Ping Yuanhou's hand tightly and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I just want a family reunion and beauty, and my husband is healthy and healthy. This time, if my husband hadn't planned well, I don't know what will happen. "
Marquis Pingyuan said: "This time, it was a trick passed down from the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, but even without these tricks, I would not let others slaughter me! I am different from Marquis Shen. But I can't let people who rely on me be bullied. At worst, both sides will suffer, and our family will leave the capital, and there will be nothing good there!"
Mrs. Li was finally relieved, and smiled at Ping Yuanhou. Just as the two were about to lean together, people outside said that the young lady and the young master had come.
Marquis Pingyuan got up and said to Li Shi in a low voice: "This time, Jin'er cried the most. I can't bear it in my heart, and dare not see her more."
Marquis Pingyuan met Zhang Yunjin and his youngest son Zhang Yunzhao with red eyes at the door. The two children saluted him. After Marquis Pingyuan returned the salute, he returned to the outer courtyard where he was doing business, just in time for Mr. Xiaoyao waiting in the courtyard , ready to say goodbye to him.
Lord Xiaoyao had been Zhang Yunzheng's martial arts master for ten years, so he was half bald. Now he wrapped his sword in his burden, held a pickaxe in his hand, and dressed like a farmer. He smiled and clasped his fists at Pingyuan Hou: "Goodbye, Lord Hou."
Ping Yuanhou also clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
Mr. Xiaoyao said: "Your Majesty is so polite. I went to see him. What a coincidence, we fought against each other in the past. I saw it in the yard that day..."
Ping Yuanhou was taken aback: "How could it be?"
Mr. Xiaoyao said with some embarrassment: "It was at that time that I was free here and went to the palace to have a look. As a result, I met him... um... once or twice..."
Pingyuan Hou Limei: "You just told me now?!"
Mr. Xiaoyao hurriedly said: "I'm sure I won't be caught! And I won't just run back here foolishly! Don't be afraid, Lord Hou!"
Marquis Pingyuan smiled wryly: "Afraid? Damn, what's the use of being afraid?"
Xiaoyao Gong laughed: "Master Hou looks away."
Marquis Pingyuan snorted: "No matter how far you look at it, you are not as good as you, Mr. Xiaoyao, Le Xiaoyao, you can go wherever you want."
Lord Xiaoyao hesitantly said: "Master Hou's family has a great career, how can they just walk around casually? Only a rootless person like me wants to wander around the world..."
Marquis Pingyuan didn't buy it and said: "Don't talk so badly! I let you stay here, why can't you stay?"
Mr. Xiaoyao shouted: "I've been here for so many years, can I be worthy of you?! What do you want from me? Don't tell me you don't know how badass that kid is! It's just me, others can't stay for a day! You see Look at my hair, when I first came, I had a full head of hair!…”
Ping Yuanhou waved his hand: "Alright, alright, he's not here now, he can't hear you scolding so loudly."
Mr. Xiaoyao patted his head: "I should write it all down and let you give it to him! But I'm too lazy to do it, can I curse a few more words, and you can convey it to that bastard for me?"
Ping Yuanhou laughed: "Don't think about it, either stay here and wait for him, or save your saliva."
Xiaoyao Gong said: "I'm wandering around, maybe I can meet him and scold him face to face? Lord Hou knows how to find me. If there's anything wrong, just say, I'll come to you."
Ping Yuanhou nodded: "Thank you, be careful, don't draw attention."
Lord Xiaoyao nodded: "Of course, of course, Lord Hou also take care, we will meet later."
Here Pingyuan Hou bid farewell to Mr. Xiaoyao, and there, Zhang Yunjin cried and said to Li Shi: "Mother, eldest sister is so pitiful..." She has never seen this eldest sister. She heard that she died. Mother said not to let the two The child saw the dead, but did not let the two of them see the dead. The younger brother is a little ignorant, but Zhang Yunjin can't help but feel sad every time he thinks of a girl who has been lingering in bed for many years and passed away without having a good day.
Mrs. Li pulled Zhang Yunjin to sit next to her, and sighed: "Your elder sister...has been sick all the time, so it's a relief to go. I hope she will have a good pregnancy there. Don't worry about her, but you, in half a year It's time for Jili, you have to prepare well, mother will only be your daughter!"
This last sentence is the real truth, Li Shi said it sincerely, with tears in his eyes, Zhang Yunjin hurriedly took Li Shi's arm and said: "Mother, my daughter will always be with Mother."
Mrs. Li stroked Zhang Yunjin's hand: "How is it possible? In a year or two, you will get married."
Zhang Yunjin bowed his head: "Mother, even if you marry someone, you must also marry someone who has contacts with our house. I will come back to see my mother often in the future!"
Mrs. Li smiled wryly: "How can I do that? The water that my married daughter poured out, I haven't gone back to see my parents a few times in all these years..."
Zhang Yunjin shook her head: "I don't want to marry far away, I'll come back to see what's going on." This assassination left her with lingering fears, it turned out that Pingyuanhou's Mansion was not a safe place either.
Li sighed: "What's the matter, you must not come back, the farther you can hide, the better..."
Zhang Yunjin cried: "Mom! I won't..." In her mind, a young man with a smile on his face appeared, his eyes were humorous... Zhenbei Hou's Mansion is not a place that people can despise. Can help Pingyuanhou Mansion! Zhang Yunjin almost expressed his thoughts, but thinking that Li Shi is the most disciplined, he still didn't open his mouth, and decided to wait until he was old enough to make plans. If it doesn't work, I entrust Shen Xiang to deliver a message, so that they can come to propose marriage as soon as possible... Thinking of this, Zhang Yunjin bowed his head deeply.
Mrs. Li didn't notice Zhang Yunjin's abnormality, and turned to look at the youngest son next to him. Zhang Yunzhao had a few white spots on his face, and he looked listless.
Mrs. Li touched the head of her youngest son: "Zhao'er needs to eat more, don't be picky eaters." This son doesn't like to eat the most, and sits in front of the table and keeps picking and picking, and can't eat a few bites. Marquis Pingyuan suggested to starve him several times many times, but Mrs. Li couldn't bear to be so cruel.
Zhang Yunzhao asked weakly: "When will the big brother come back? Oh, and the second brother?"
Zhang Yunjin looked up angrily: "What second brother?! He's just a cousin! It's different from the big brother!"
Mrs. Li felt a headache, and said carefully, "Jin'er, that, let's call him the second elder brother, he is not an outsider..."
Zhang Yunjin looked at Li Shi worriedly: "Mother! Is he a child whose father is outside? Mother wants to bring him back?"
Li Shi almost lost her anger, and patted herself on the chest hard: the son she had worked so hard to give birth to turned out to be an "outsider", felt sore for a while, and was speechless for a while.
Zhang Yunjin said: "Mom, if you don't want to, dad won't force you..."
Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "I am willing, I am willing... that child... is a good boy."
Zhang Yunjin looked at Li Shi helplessly: "He is a scoundrel, mother, how can you be so tolerant?"
Mrs. Li couldn't tell because of her suffering, so she took Zhang Yunjin's hand and said, "That kid actually has a good heart, so you can treat him like your second elder brother. Later..." Let's not talk about it, people who know about this matter The less the better.
Zhang Yunjin waited for a long time, Li Shi only said: "You will understand after you have your own child."
Zhang Yunjin was baffled—he had his own children, so he knew that the children outside had to be raised too? What's the point? But Mrs. Li had already diverted her attention to take care of Zhang Yunzhao, so Zhang Yunjin didn't ask any more questions.
This year, Pingyuan Hou's mansion had such a big incident, so it naturally became silent, the main gate of the mansion was closed, and no one was seen except the doctor who was seeing a doctor, including relatives who were near the hospital. The Pingyuanhou Mansion also does not give New Year gifts to anyone, does not put up lanterns and festoons, does not post door couplets, and does not set off firecrackers.
Zhenbeihou's Mansion is also low-key, I only saw a few people who come and go frequently, and even the Lantern Festival, Zhenbeihou's Mansion changed the habit of previous years, no one came out to visit Lantern Street. Shen Zhuo knew what the prince had done to Miss Zhang, so he naturally resolutely refused to let the two younger sisters leave the mansion, so the fourth and third princes who were waiting in different places in Dengshi all waited in vain.
The prince was happy for a while, but then he became worried again: Huo Luo was going to Beijing to marry the fourth princess, and the food the prince raised for Huo Luo was only over 10%. If the food is not enough, will Huo Luo embarrass the fourth princess
Hearing that the third prince and the fourth prince stood on the lantern market for a long time, the prince sneered: "It's all right for the third prince to hang around there, why is the fourth prince going to join in the fun?"
An aide said: "The third prince and the fourth prince have been going to listen to old master Jian's lessons together, and they have the friendship of classmates."
The prince felt the familiar anxiety again: "Last time, the fourth prince was talking too much and talked about it to the outside world..." He stopped, he didn't want to mention the marriage of Mr. Zhang now! The prince suddenly became angry: "He is trying to help the third child to tear down the platform of my palace!"
Another staff member said in a low voice: "Our people discovered that the fourth prince's family, Jiang's family, has ample grain reserves. If His Royal Highness doesn't like the fourth prince, we can go and grab it and use it as food for Huo Luo. "
An aide agreed and said: "Grains and grains are precious nowadays, if enough food is given to Huo Luo, it can be regarded as adding makeup to the fourth princess."
When mentioning the fourth princess, the prince felt a little pain in his chest, nodded and said: "Okay! Go grab it! You don't need to go immediately, wait until Huo Luo enters the capital, and then go grab it. In this way, Huo Luo can take it back to Beirong, and you don't have to look for anything else." The more food the better, Huo Luo must feel that this palace is generous, and it must also earn face for the fourth princess."
After finishing speaking, he felt uncomfortable for a while, feeling uncomfortable all over, but he attributed this ailment to his hatred for the third prince! He tried his best not to care about this sudden irritability, left the palace after discussing the matter, went to Churong's place, and found some peace.
