At this time, it was in the evening, the clouds in the sky and the brilliance of the sunset joined together, and the poetic and picturesque waterside pavilion was also plated with a faint golden brilliance.
The scenery is naturally beautiful, but it is a pity that Su Yang has no time to appreciate it. All he can think about now is - run away! !
It has nothing to do with old or new hatred, this is everyone's normal response to extreme danger.
The man in front of him was dressed in the black and solemn prince's python robe, and his appearance was stern and luxurious. He looked at him indifferently from top to bottom, and there was a cold light in those unfathomable black eyes, especially the hand that clamped the wrist. , almost wanted to crush Su Yang's wrist bones.
With his current delicate flesh, how could he deserve such bullying, Su Yang's face turned pale in pain, and shouted while struggling, "Let me go! It hurts!"
As he spoke, he even cast his eyes on Wu Xueyan for help. He is not good at this person, but acting like a spoiled child is a basic skill. The round and bright eyes of black Portuguese are a little watery, like a little milk dog whose food has been taken away. , There is a desire in the grievance, not to mention the pain.
Wu Xueyan was immediately hit by her motherhood, and she wanted to go forward to rescue Su Yang, but was stopped by Tao Yunfeng without a trace, and the two were at a stalemate for a while.
Su Yang knew that she could not count on her, so she turned her aggrieved eyes to Jing Cheng.
"Why do you bully people, I don't know you," he said with a hint of weeping in his soft and waxy tone, and he was really crying, "You bad guy, let me go! Agui, Agui save me !"
Agui, who was kneeling in the corner, trembled even more, and hurriedly shortened himself a little, for fear of being affected by the domineering aura of the Fifth Prince.
That's right, beating is so unethical!
Su Yang was furious and couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he just went straight to bite, and the result was that Jing Cheng's hands were covered with sparkling jelly beans, but he didn't even leave a tooth mark.
Su Yang: "…"
He looked at Jing Cheng, Jing Cheng also looked at him, Su Yang had no doubt that he saw a mocking smile in the other's eyes.
Madan can't live this day! ! Tao Ziyu's neat little white teeth are just decorations, they can't be eaten at all! And a toothache!
Jing Cheng slowly released Su Yang, and without looking at him again, he turned to Tao Yunfeng and said, "Tao Shangshu, the dowry will arrive in the house three days later. Recently, the Mobei army has been very tight, so all etiquette specifications are kept simple."
Tao Yunfeng himself is the Minister of the Household, so he doesn't know if the military pay is tight, but since Jing Cheng said it is tight, it can only be tight.
He hurriedly smiled and said: "It's natural, everything is according to your wishes, but the prince is always thinking about the affairs of the military, so he really calls the subordinate officials to respect, Yu'er has always been an incompetent, and can marry the prince, I don't know how many lifetimes it takes to cultivate Blessings to come."
Su Yang was taken aback, Nani? get married! him? !
There was no emotion on Jing Cheng's stern face, he just said lightly: "That's it, this king will leave first."
Tao Yunfeng hurriedly held back: "Your Highness, please stay. Xiaguan has already ordered someone to prepare beer wine. If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, it's better to let Xiaguan and the dog wash the dust for you. It's tiring to take a rest."
Jing Cheng stopped, looked back at him, and suddenly sneered.
"If this king remembers it well, Master Tao used to be a taboo in every possible way. He disliked this old cow and couldn't eat the tender grass in the house. Now, I'm afraid I can't afford this thin wine."
Yan Zhi didn't take another step, and strode away.
Tao Yunfeng, who had been ridiculed for a while, didn't respond, and followed up to see off the guests as usual, and his courtesy was beyond reproach for several weeks.
Wu Xueyan frowned to check Su Yang's injury. The bruise on her knee was fine, but her wrist was bruised and looked terrifying.
In the past, Jing Cheng was reluctant to even touch him, but now that the gap has occurred, I am afraid it will be difficult to mend.
Su Yang shook off her hand and said angrily, "You're also a bad person." After that, he ran into the room and wrapped himself in the quilt, with a posture of never coming out for a lifetime.
Wu Xueyan waved back, and only their mother and son were left in the room. When she heard the "low sobbing" coming from the bed, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
She sat beside the bed and said softly: "I'm sorry, mother didn't mean to not save you, it's just... Now the game between the emperor and the five princes, our Shangshu mansion is the most critical piece of chess, and your father is actually not easy... "
If it was Tao Ziyu or the former Tao Ziyu, she was determined not to say such words, because as a qualified mother, she should not impose the fate of the family on her children. She hoped that her son would grow up happily without using Bear these heavy truths.
But now her son is dumbfounded. Even if he tells him, he doesn't understand anything. That's why she can talk with confidence.
"When your father was a poor scholar, he made a living by buying and selling calligraphy and painting on the street. Once I passed by that street, I fell in love with him at first sight. I did not hesitate to hide my identity and approached him as an ordinary embroidered girl. Later, he promised , and will marry me in high school next year."
"Afterwards, he was indeed in high school. The first-ranking scholar, appointed by the late emperor, walked on the streets, and the scenery was infinite. No one of the ladies in Jianzhou City was not interested, but he remembered a little embroidered girl." Speaking of which, she He smiled, patted Su Yang in the quilt lightly, and said, "At that time, he was really stupid. He refused one marriage after another, but he didn't know what he was looking for. In fact, it was a big trouble."
"Your grandfather was a first-rank general of the dynasty. He once saved the emperor's life in exchange for a gold medal to avoid death, and there are tens of thousands of royal guards in hand, but how can you rest assured that the first emperor was suspicious by nature? The infamy of repaying kindness and hatred... Later, your two uncles died in the army one after another.
"When you were five years old, you entered the palace to choose the imperial grandson's companion to study. I actually didn't want to, because I was afraid that something would happen to you. Later, I didn't have time to thank you for your safe return, but the will of marriage came with it. That year was already eighteen, not to mention the age difference, just say that you are both men..."
Su Yang had already stuck her head out of the bed, carefully wiping her tears, this woman has had a really hard life.
The first emperor's methods were vicious, and he couldn't take back his grace directly, so he wanted the Wu family to end.
Wu Xueyan held his hand and said with a smile, "But after the fifth prince treated you really well, I was relieved. Born in the blood of the Wu family, I don't ask you to pass on your heirs, but only ask you to grow up safely and healthily. It’s a gift from God, but I didn’t expect it to escape after all…”
"Although the fifth prince has the talent of an emperor, the first emperor is more interested in the eldest son of the emperor, and now Shangjinggan, the marriage between you and the fifth prince is actually a one-stone two-bird plan, marrying a man as a concubine, the fifth prince is destined to have no direct son in this life, and it will be forever. Missing the throne, a marriage, not only cut off the continuity of the Wu family's blood, but also cut off the ambition of the five princes, the first emperor, really deserves to be my famous emperor Taizong."
It turned out to be like this, no wonder Tao Ziyu offended Jing Cheng to such an extent that he could marry him when he turned around. It seemed that the emperor was determined to fortify a man for Jing Cheng.
However, Jing Cheng is not someone who is at the mercy of others. When he accepted the marriage, he should have really liked Tao Ziyu, but now he really doesn't like him anymore, so why should he accept this meaningless marriage
He doesn't believe that there is still anyone who can forcefully become the fifth prince of the dynasty, even if it is the last wish of the late emperor, with his personality, he will not take it seriously at all.
Could it be that he did this for the Wu family!
The old man Wu Xingde is notoriously hard-headed. Not to mention that both sons were killed by the previous emperor, and his only grandson was also given to a man as the princess, but he has always been loyal to Da Ming, which can be called a model of ignorance and loyalty. .
However, Su Yang felt that there was a problem. According to the previous emperor's personality, he would definitely cut down the grass and root, but why did he drag Tao Ziyu into the water and didn't kill him? Maybe... Wu Xingde was not really cold-blooded, what kind of deal did he do with the previous emperor.
What does this have to do with Jing Cheng
Su Yang thought about it for a while and felt his head hurt. The secret of the royal family has always been to keep cutting things straight and mess up. Could this woman have survived in such an invisible environment for decades
It is said that companions are like companions to tigers, and the Wu family has been loyal and good for generations, but in the end, Zixi was cut off.
Over the years, I am afraid that she has been sleeping and eating day and night, not knowing when the guillotine above her head will fall, and she has to bear the guilt in her heart.
Wu Xueyan said softly, "If he hadn't married me, he would still be that high-spirited champion, who could display his talents and ambitions and become a famous minister, but because of the Wu family, he was suspected by the emperor. It is like walking on thin ice, if you are not careful, you will fall to pieces."
"In the past few years, I have watched him gradually become insensitive, addicted to alcohol, and dealt with the emperor and the five princes. He abandoned his former arrogance, learned to be flattering, and learned to flatter. I know that he dare not gamble because Shang Shu The life and death of the government is in his mind."
"These are all imposed on him by me."
It would be great if she hadn't opened the car curtain and looked out when she passed that street.
If life is just like the first sight, if life has never met.
Su Yang didn't know what to say, although Tao Yunfeng was also very pitiful, but since he married someone else's girl, he should be responsible to the end. To be excessive.
Although there are many things in his heart that he wants to say, since he is a fool now, he has no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Wu Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't need anyone to comfort her, she just held back for too long and needed someone to talk to.
Outside, she is a well-respected general and a tiger girl, a dignified Mrs. Shangshu, and a splendid noble lady. Inside, she is just a wife who can't keep her husband, and a mother who can't control her son. Guanghua is outside, but in fact it is lost.
"Hao Yu'er, you are going to get married in three days. The fifth prince will not treat you well. You have to take good care of yourself."
Seeing Su Yang looking at her suspiciously, Wu Xueyan pulled away his sleeve, pointed at the bruised scar, and said, "The bad guy who bullied you is the Fifth Prince, others call him Fifth Prince, but you have to call him husband. "
Su Yang then nodded obediently, indicating that he remembered, he has thick skin and no pressure.
Wu Xueyan said again: "That person has a bad temper and may bully you, but as long as you are obedient and soft-hearted, he will be reluctant to bear it, understand?"
Su Yang nodded again, being courteous and being good, his strength!
…
Wangfu.
The old butler rushed into the study, bowed and asked:
"Master, I don't know where the residence of the Tao family's son is better?"
Jing Cheng didn't raise his eyes, and said lightly, "Since it's a husband and wife, it's naturally my room."
Butler: "… "
One of the subordinates who are discussing: "..."
Jing Cheng looked at the back of his hand, there were no traces left.
He suddenly remembered the little dog he raised when he was a child, it was only the size of the palm of his hand. Even if he put his fingers in its mouth and let it bite, it would only bite out a shallow tooth mark, which is not painful or itchy but interesting.
Tao Ziyu is weaker, more delicate and beautiful than the little dog, and his demeanor is more vivid and pitiful when he acts like a spoiled child, but he has no dog's loyalty.
Since he can't learn to be loyal, it's better to tie a chain to him.
