Zhong Wanting is under house arrest in Baihuayuan, completely isolated from the outside world. Although she didn't treat her harshly with regard to food and clothing, she couldn't sleep at night without knowing the taste. Even if I finally fell asleep, it was a nightmare again and again. In just over half a month, Zhong Wanting tossed like a man.
A woman opened the door and said to Zhong Wanting, who looked haggard and thin, "Ms. Zhong, come out!"
In panic, Zhong Wanting took off the skeined gold bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into her mother-in-law's hand as quickly as possible.
Seeing her mother-in-law received the bracelet, Zhong Wanting felt slightly relieved. Some time ago, she wanted to inquire about news from the outside, and put a bracelet on the servants who delivered the food, but these people confiscated them: "Mom, where are you going to send me?" Many of the daughters of criminal officials were sent to the teaching workshop. She is the fiancee of the third prince, even if she fails to marry the third prince, she should not go to the Jiaofang.
The mother-in-law took the bracelet and stuffed it into her sleeve, and said, "It's someone from the Korean government who came to pick you up." Since someone from the Korean government is here to pick you up, she won't be guilty if she wants to come. If not, she would not dare to accept this bracelet.
The aunt sent someone to pick him up, not sent to prison. That being said, this storm has passed.
After leaving Baihuayuan, Zhong Wanting got into the carriage parked outside. As soon as I opened the curtain, I saw the lotus sitting inside.
Holding Lotus by the hand, Zhong Wanting asked eagerly: "Sister Lotus, what happened? How are grandfather and my father?"
Tears flashed in Lotus's eyes.
Zhong Wanting's heart fell straight down: "How is grandfather and my father? How about you?"
Lotus wiped her tears and said, "Said it was a crime of treason." Treasury was a felony of the Jiu Clan.
Zhong Wanting felt that she had fallen into the abyss: "Impossible, how could grandfather conspiracy? Grandfather must have been framed?"
Lotus's tears poured down: "Grandma asked the grandpa, and grandpa said that our grandpa has been doing things for the front." Her father and brother also don't know whether they are alive or dead. The lotus is too worried these days.
"Impossible, if my grandfather is a rebellious minister, how can the government let you come and pick me up." Therefore, his grandfather must be slandered.
The lotus choked and said: "It's the queen empress who sent a message to the big grandma, let us come to Baihuayuan to pick you up."
Zhong Wanting fell on the carriage, unable to speak a word. After rebelling against the minister, even if she didn't want her life, her fate would be miserable.
When Zhong Wanting saw Zhong Minxiu who was pale on the bed, she burst into tears without saying a word.
Zhong Minxiu clasped her hands and said, "Don't cry." Crying won't solve the problem.
Zhong Wanting couldn't stop her tears: "Auntie, lotus said that grandfather's rebellion. Aunty, how could grandfather conspiracy. Auntie, the Zhong family must have been planted and framed."
"No, the evidence is conclusive. Dad is the Zhou Dynasty who is loyal to him, and he has always wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty." This was what Han Jianming told her personally, and there should be no falsehoods.
Zhong Wanting's face was as gray as death: "Auntie, doesn't the Zhong family want to copy and slash?" This is a felony of the Jiu Clan.
Zhong Minxiu shook her head and said, "The emperor and the queen have a gratitude, and the family members and underage children are exiled to Lingnan." The only thing fortunately is that her aunt has passed away. Otherwise, there will be no good end. But this is the case, Zhong Minxiu's fetus was still inflated after suffering such a blow.
Seeing that Zhong Wanting was still crying, Zhong Minxiu said sharply: "This is not the time to cry. You must cheer up, or your grandmother and the others are really hopeless."
Zhong Wanting was crying so sad: "Aunt, what can I do?" She can't protect herself now.
Lotus couldn't help but insert a sentence: "As long as the eldest girl marries the third prince, the old lady and the others will be saved."
"If something like this happened to the Zhong family, it is impossible for the third prince to marry me again." This is not an ordinary guilt, but a serious crime of treason. How could the queen mother let the third prince marry herself, a rebellious minister.
Zhong Minxiu smiled bitterly, and said to Zhong Wanting: "The Queen Empress has given you an order, let me choose a marriage for you." This shows that Zhong Wanting's marriage to the third prince is invalid.
Zhong Wanting lowered her head, as she expected. The empress did not like her at all, and now the Zhong family's accident will definitely destroy her relatives, which is completely in her expectation.
Thinking of the scene in Kunning Palace, Zhong Wanting suddenly raised her head: "Auntie, could the queen and her mother frame the Zhong family because she didn't like me?"
The more I think about it, the more Zhong Wanting feels that her guess is right: "It must be so. It must be the empress who hates me, that's why she angered the Zhong family. Aunt, I killed the Zhong family, and I killed the Zhong family."
Zhong Minxiu raised her hand and slapped Zhong Wanting. Zhong Wanting's white face clearly showed five fingers: "What nonsense are you talking about here?"
Wanting Zhong doesn't feel like she's talking nonsense. When people are desperate, many thoughts will be extreme: "Auntie, the queen mother sees that I don't care about the three princes, and she dislikes me. The last time she declared me into the palace, her eyes were full of disgust when she looked at me."
Before he could speak, Zhong Minxiu felt her stomach rolling a lot. Suppressing the anger, Zhong Minxiu touched her belly and said: "If the empress detests you, she can just find any reason to destroy your relatives. Even if you are concerned about your fame, it is easy for you to die silently. There is no need to slander the Zhong family for rebellion and conspiracy. The crime of rebellion is not just talking about it, there must be conclusive evidence." If you don't pleasing to the eye, you will say that the other party is conspiring to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. How could such a stupid thing be done by a lady who is as intelligent as a queen!
After Zhong Wanting heard this, she stopped crying, and Liushen said without a master: "Auntie, what should I do now?"
"You live in the Guogong Mansion first, and then I will show you to others after I have given birth." Not to mention that the aunt's aunt is so kind to her, she only dare not neglect the instructions of the empress and empress.
Zhong Wanting cried and said, "Auntie, what should I do with my grandmother and my mother?" Grandfather and the others are deadly sins, and they can't be saved if they want to. But grandmother, mother and her two younger brothers are going to be exiled. If there is no one on the road to follow the Buddha, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Lingnan.
Zhong Minxiu leaned on the bed and said, "I have sent someone to Jiangnan." As for whether she can catch up, it is not her decision.
Zhong Minxiu looked at the lotus, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying: "Take care of the big girl during this time." She was also sad because of an accident in the Zhong family, but it didn't help. But Lotus, as her maidservant, always couldn't control her emotions, and she burst into tears when she mentioned the Zhong family. Normally, but now she is pregnant, and she always sees lotus crying and it is hard to avoid being affected. Therefore, she doesn't want to see lotus now.
The lotus didn't think much, nodded and said: "Okay."
The maid, Sydney, put the quilt on Zhong Minxiu, and said, "Big grandma, the doctor told you to take a good rest and avoid hurting your mind. Otherwise, it's not good for your children." Sydney is also a dowry maid, but she was second class before. Not long ago, he was drawn into a first class.
Sydney was bought, not a family. Unlike lotus, all relatives are in Zhongfu. So she was also worried about the Zhong family accident, but she only worried about Zhong Minxiu. If Zhong Minxiu has three longs and two shorts, they will become duckweeds, and they may be randomly assigned.
Zhong Minxiu sighed: "I used to think she was smart, but I didn't expect to be so stupid." After the imperial decree came down, Zhong Minxiu was afraid that Zhong Wanting would not be able to turn around, so she passed by with her pregnant belly. Seeing Zhong Wanting's unwilling look at that time, she also explained the reason.
It now appears that Zhong Wanting did not listen to her persuasion at all. Otherwise, how could the empress hate her? With the empress's shrewdness, I am afraid that she is not thinking through the third prince. If you don't want to get married, it's purely looking for death.
Sydney said relievedly: "Grandma, you must take care of yourself. The old lady and his wife are still leaning on you!" Among the married girls of the Zhong family, Zhong Minxiu is not the best married, but the Han family's The elders are definitely the most generous. When an accident happened to the Zhong family, Mrs. Han not only didn't irritate her grandmother, but kept comforting her, and came to visit her every day. It was the grandfather of the country, knowing that his grandma had sent someone to Jiangnan, he also lined up two guards to follow. These things are enough to see that the Zhong family's affairs will not affect the status of the grandma in the Han family.
Zhong Minxiu nodded.
Yuxi didn't care about Zhong Wanting. Asking Zhong Minxiu to pick her up is already merciful. According to the law, she also wants to exile Lingnan. But just because of Zhong Wanting's appearance, she would never reach Lingnan when she was exiled. Although she could not be regarded as her daughter-in-law, Yuxi did not want her to be abused by others, so he asked Zhong Minxiu to take her back to be married.
After reading the information sent by Liaodong intelligence personnel, Yuxi was worried and said to Yun Qing: "Donghu King killed Zuo Xian, and other opponents were also eliminated by him overnight." Dong Hu's Zuo Xian Wang Born to the queen of the former Donghu, he is also the half-brother of the king of Donghu. It's just that the Donghu people are not like the Central Plains who pay attention to the succession and succession. They respect the strong. When King Zuo Xian was fighting for the throne, he fell slightly inferior. But he didn't give up, and always wanted to replace King Donghu.
Yun Qing said: "Tongcheng, there will be a war again." The soldiers and horses captured by the North were also fierce, but because the number of the captured people in the North was not large, he was able to destroy them. As for the Donghu people, their population is five times as much as that of the North Captives. Yan Wushuang was able to stop the East Hu Jun outside Tongcheng in recent years, and he paid a huge price.
Yuxi said anxiously: "What I am worried about now is that Yan Wushuang will form an alliance with the Donghu people." They only have more than 10,000 cavalry, which is not enough for Shang Donghu's army.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No, the Yan Wushuang guarded Liaodong for generations and had blood and blood feuds with the Donghu people. Even Yan Wushuang's father died at the hands of the Donghu people. The vengeance of killing his father was not shared by the sky, and Yan Wushuang decided that it was impossible to be with the Donghu people. Allied. If not, he would not be able to stand on the ground."
Yuxi nodded.
