The seventh prince, dressed in filial piety, knelt in front of Chen Shilang and his wife and kowtowed several times: "Grandpa, grandma, now that my mother is gone, Xiao Qi will definitely honor you on behalf of my mother and concubine, and I will not let her down." Mrs. Chen raised her head and looked at the grandson in front of her who looked exactly like her daughter. Seeing that his eyes were red and he had a sad look on his face, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. She hugged the seventh prince tightly and said, "I Poor grandson."
All the guests who came to express their condolences sighed, and one of them patted the Seventh Prince on the shoulder comfortingly: "There is no resurrection after death. Your Majesty, Your Highness, expresses my condolences."
The seventh prince raised his head and looked at Wei Rufeng. Wei Rufeng had the right expression of sympathy and sympathy on his face. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked to the Chen family hall to talk to others.
The woman beside Wei Rufeng, although she was dressed in plain clothes, could not hide her aura of wealth, and her pretty face was full of pride. She was Zhuang Yushan. Now everyone knows that she has become Wei Rufeng's favorite concubine. Everyone knows that she has a high status in Prince Wei's palace and is the most loved by Wei Rufeng. "Sir," she said with some confusion, "Why don't you see Prince Xuanqing come to express your condolences?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was silent. Rumors have spread in the palace recently that Concubine Chen was framed for adultery. That person was Fu Yunxi. Now that Concubine Chen committed suicide, Fu Yunxi has become a public figure. The focus of the gaze. Just because if he comes, it would not be a good thing to see the people he indirectly killed. If he doesn't come, it proves that he has a guilty conscience. It would be a mistake to come or not at the moment, but Wei Rufeng's concubine was brought up by chance.
Wei Rufeng smiled and said with relief: "Maybe the princess and the prince are delayed by something and can't come." As soon as these words came out, people were even more guessing. As long as they are officials in the same dynasty, the matter of the seventh prince is considered a big deal. As the uncle of the seventh prince, King Xuanqing should naturally come to visit. At this time, Wei Rufeng said that something was delayed, but it made people think of the previous rumors that Concubine Chen and Princess Xuanqing had a feud. Could it be that King Xuanqing did not dare to come because he felt guilty in his heart
"King Xuanqing has arrived..." By coincidence, the servant's announcement came from outside. Everyone looked up and saw King Xuanqing striding in with a cold expression, exuding a faint chill. The voice gradually faded away.
Wei Rufeng did not expect that he would come like this. After calming down, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "The prince has come to express his condolences, why didn't he bring the princess with him?" Without seeing Han Yan, Wei Rufeng couldn't say that he was Disappointment or relief. He didn't want to see her standing next to Fu Yunxi, but he met her again. Between love and hate, Wei Rufeng himself couldn't explain what he felt. He could only feel jealous reluctance and jealousy towards the person in front of him.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yushan smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't you see the fourth sister coming? I was still thinking of talking to the fourth sister. I didn't see her when I returned to the Zhuang Mansion the day before yesterday."
What this means is that Han Yan has not lived in the Zhuang Mansion for a long time, and where else he can live is the Xuanqing Prince's Mansion. It is inappropriate for an unmarried woman to live in her husband's house even if she is engaged. The people who came to express their condolences had some suspicions in their minds. Zhuang Yushan smiled sincerely, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Fu Yunxi just smiled faintly: "The princess suffered from cold in the palace the day before yesterday. I was worried about her health, so I specially took her to the Xuanqing Palace." After speaking, he gave Wei Rufeng a meaningful look: "Today is the occasion for condolences. , because it is easy to be infected with bad luck, and people who are sick should not come."
Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Princess Xuanqing did not come today. Prince Xuanqing thought so thoughtfully about feelings. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very good. They said before that the princess was not worthy of the prince. Now it seems that the prince really feels sorry for the princess. .
Zhuang Yushan was so angry that Fu Yunxi's words pushed her into an awkward position. He thought it was unlucky so he wouldn't let Han Yan go out, but Wei Rufeng was willing to bring him here, thinking that he could take the opportunity to humiliate Han Yan. Unexpectedly, the fact that he was not favored now turned into the fact that Wei Rufeng didn't worry about his own body, so he didn't think so much about himself.
Wei Rufeng looked slightly startled. He knew that Han Yan was poisoned by spring poison that night. Originally, as long as he and Han Yan had a good relationship, nothing like today would happen. However, later he learned that Han Yan had been poisoned by Fu Yunxi. Rescued. At that time, he felt extremely uncomfortable, knowing that the aphrodisiac poison was so strong that once he was infected, he would have to have sex with someone to detoxify it. Han Yan was brought to Prince Xuanqing's Mansion, and it was naturally Fu Yunxi who helped her detoxify him. Thinking that the two of them were already married, he was in so much pain that he wanted to cut Fu Yunxi into pieces with a thousand knives. Later, the Queen Mother wanted to harm Han Yan by proving her virginity. He heard from the spies in the palace that Han Yan was still a virgin. I had mixed feelings at the moment, because on the one hand I was happy that Han Yan was still innocent, but on the other hand I was worried about missing this opportunity to attack Fu Yunxi. At this moment, when Fu Yunxi said that Han Yan was left in the house, she also had a doubt. How is her health now? Even though the aphrodisiac poison has been cured, it can still cause harm to the body.
The seventh prince stood up at the right time and bowed to Fu Yunxi: "Uncle Wang." After calling out once, he choked up and bowed deeply without getting up.
Fu Yunxi said: "What are you doing?"
The seventh prince shook his head: "I heard that my mother and concubine had a problem with you before. Now that my mother and concubine have passed away, my nephew will apologize to you on behalf of my mother and concubine."
The Seventh Prince has always been filial and courteous, but now that he has lost his mother at such a young age, it is rare for him to still be so understanding, which is really touching.
Fu Yunxi didn't reach out to help him, and didn't even look at him. After a long time, she said coldly: "No need, I just heard it."
The seventh prince hit a soft nail and did not say anything. He raised his clothes and knelt down to Fu Yunxi: "Uncle Wang's words mean that he will not forgive his mother and concubine. My nephew can only kowtow to Uncle Wang on behalf of his mother and concubine. "
The dignified prince has to condescend to kneel down to the same prince. Others can't stand it. However, Prince Xuanqing is in power, and no one dares to offend him, so they can only sigh secretly in their hearts. At this moment, an indignant voice jumped out: "Your Majesty has a high and powerful position, but don't embarrass a child like this. After all, His Highness the Seventh Highness is the son of the dragon. Why should your Majesty push me so hard?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person speaking was Mrs. Chen. She lost her daughter in old age and was naturally in great pain. Her hair turned a lot white overnight. When the seventh prince saw Mrs. Chen, he called out: "Grandma... ” and could no longer speak.
The grandfather and grandson were hugging each other and crying. To the uninformed eyes from the outside, Fu Yunxi was really bullying others. Zhuang Yushan said delicately: "Hey, now that the empress has passed away, the old man and the child are left to suffer. It's really sad. Why doesn't the prince worry about people's needs and hurt people's pain?"
Wei Rufeng also shook his head and sighed: "That's right. His Majesty Seventh Prince is in unspeakable pain right now. Who can understand the pain in his heart?"
