Zhong Wan originally wanted to see Tang Ming again in the morning, but was disturbed by Lin Si, and it was too late to leave the city, so he had to give up.
Thinking of Lin Si, Zhong Wan wondered if he should go to the Zhong family's ancestral tomb to burn incense. Thinking of the ancestral tomb, he also thought that Tang Ming's mother might also be the daughter of the Zhong family. Thinking like this—
Zhong Wan was instantly certain that Tang Ming must be related to himself!
Tang Ming has no wife and no children, and he has no children or grandchildren!
Zhong Wan couldn't help but smile.
Unconsciously, I thought of the scene in the spirit shed.
Zhong Wan pursed his lips lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that this life was worth it.
Just thinking about it, Xuan Congxin came from outside.
An outsider suddenly came to the house, Xuan Congxin was not at ease and came over to ask.
"It's nothing, I... an old friend I knew when I was young." Zhong Wan said vaguely, "I was implicated and suffered by me back then. I offended the master a few days ago and escaped, so I kept him here."
Xuan Congxin didn't care: "Oh, let's stay, by the way, I just heard that the Longevity Festival will not be held in a few days, everything will be simplified, the clan will come out after kowtowing into the palace, and there will be no banquets. , and you don't have to prepare anything."
"During the mourning period, that's the way it is." Seeing that Zhong Wan was a little nervous, Xuan Cong asked, "What's the matter? Is it..."
Zhong Wan absently said, "What?"
Xuan Congxin said softly: "After May 71, we can go back to Qian'an. How about your Kuafu? Can we go home together?"
Zhong Wan returned to his senses, lowered his head and smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let me see, Lin... is my old friend, see if he can send you back for me, if it's not convenient for him, it's me who will send you two back. After Qian'an, I will come back."
Xuan Cong looked at Zhong Wan reluctantly and hesitated, but said helplessly: "Okay, but... we're not in a hurry. We can go together when you marry your sister-in-law."
"Not so fast." Zhong Wan said indiscriminately, "Besides... this is still in the period of filial piety, how can I take a concubine."
Xuan Congxin frowned: "Xuan Yu and I are in the filial piety period, and you are not here, what are you afraid of? And..."
Xuan Cong said coldly: "I don't think this imperial city has more rules than ours in Qian'an. In the past few days, there are still people discussing marriage with Princess An Guo."
Zhong Wan felt as if he accidentally stepped on the air when he was going up the steps.
Zhong Wan was silent for a moment, then sat down and said casually, "Which one?"
"That's not clear. Although I recognize all those people, I don't know their in-laws, who are their nieces and nieces. I can't guess who they are." Xuan Congxin frowned, "Maybe... Forget it, I'm not sure, in short, Princess An Guo seems to be very intentional, huh... It's a good rule to talk about this at a funeral."
Zhong Wan nodded: "Little Prince Yu is out of 20, it's time to start a family."
Xuan Congxin asked curiously, "Is that the little prince Yu who came to see my eldest brother at our mansion?"
Xuan Congxin didn't leave the cabinet yet, and was concealed by Zhong Wan. He didn't know the rumors about the affair between Yu She and Zhong Wan.
Zhong Wan let out an uneasy "um".
"I haven't seen it before, I heard that it is the darling of Princess Anguo, and she is coddled and lawless." Xuan Congxin said, "Although he is not a brother from his own family, he is a royal relative anyway, so he is talking about relatives at this time..."
Zhong Wan instinctively returned to protect Yu She: "He can't be the master of the words of his parents' life matchmaker."
"Who knows." Xuan Congxin didn't like anyone in the imperial city, and said a little bit meanly, "Don't you say that no one can be his master? If you want to discuss a relative, it must be his own willingness. "
Zhong Wan smiled lightly: "Maybe."
Anguo Princess Palace.
Yu She fiddled with a small piece and said without looking up, "Don't worry about me."
Princess Anguo slowed down her voice and said, "Nie Wen is a patriarch of the two dynasties, and his disciples are all over the world. He is just such a granddaughter and treats him like a treasure. I have seen that girl before. In the future... worthy of being a princess."
Yu She casually said, "I don't want it."
"Why don't you do it?" Princess An Guo patiently said with kind words, "I know you don't like strangers, doesn't this force you? You marry in first, get along slowly, and spend some time with each other. Just know, this girl has a really good temperament, then you two will be consensual, and then... "
Yu She put the pieces in his hand aside and raised his head, "Don't I have to be filial?"
"You actually care about this?" Princess An Guo smiled. "Three months, isn't that optional? Even if it's decided now, it will take half a year to actually pass the door, and nothing will be delayed."
Yu She's mouth twitched slightly and smiled: "Wait..."
Princess An Guo vaguely felt that Yu She would not have any good words below.
really-
Yu She took some time to relax and asked earnestly, "Princess, give me a word first, Xuan Jin is dead, should I stay for three months or a year?"
The smile on Princess An Guo's face faded.
As a royal family, it is enough to keep it for three months.
If it is Xuan Jin's younger brother, he will have to stay for a year.
The girls who served Princess An Guo retreated consciously.
Princess An Guo tried her best to suppress the fire and said reluctantly, "Have you been drinking? What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Ask the rules." Yu She said indifferently, "In case I don't know anything and do something rebellious again, like last time..."
Yu She lowered his head and smiled, "I went to beg for the fourth princess with full satisfaction, but the emperor smashed his forehead with a paperweight..."
Princess An Guo said angrily, "You!"
Yu She said lightly, "What's wrong? I'm scared of being beaten, so I want to be careful, can't I?"
Princess An Guo's breath was unsteady, and she hurriedly said: "The last time you were clearly dissatisfied with the prince's kiss to you, so you deliberately went to ask the fourth princess from the emperor's brother! You almost made the emperor's brother angry.
Yu She smiled: "But no one has told me yet, why can't I marry the fourth princess."
Yu She looked at the eldest princess An Guo, and said in a frivolous voice, "Seriously... I still miss that girl to this day."
"How many times have you seen her?! Do you know whether she is round or flat?" Princess An Guo was furious. "You have to make me unhappy and the emperor unhappy, don't you?!"
Yu She looked at Princess An Guo with a natural look.
Princess An Guo was so angry that she rubbed her chest and stopped talking.
In the past few days, Princess Anguo heard from the people in the other courtyard that Yu She seemed to be restrained, and she had not caused trouble for several days.
Princess An Guo thought that he had figured it out, and she was happy, and wanted to decide on Yu She's marriage while he was behaving normally.
No, it's still the same.
Princess An Guo's tone was unstable, and she said anxiously, "You just... can't you be fine?"
Yu She gently knocked on the handle of the chair, and said slowly: "In the past few years, there have been funerals in the palace one after another, Xuan Jing and Xuan Qiong's marriage have all been delayed, so far there is no big wedding, and the palace has not heard any news. ."
Princess An Guo raised her head, and Yu She seemed to be talking to herself: "I'm a few months older than Xuan Jing. If I can get married before them, I'll have a son sooner..."
Yu She looked at Princess An Guo, "The emperor will definitely pay more attention to me when he sees that I am healthy and healthy, doesn't it?"
Princess An Guo's eyes moved when she was told what was on her mind.
Yu She looked at Princess An Guo and said softly, "Mother, who is scheming against whom?"
"Don't bother." Yu She got up, "I'm still saying that, if you want to marry only clan daughters, the princess is the best, and the daughters of other princes are also fine, not clan girls."
"Ziyou." Princess An Guo gritted her teeth, "You have to poke my heart and the emperor's heart, don't you?"
Yu She paused and turned to look at Princess An Guo, "That's the opposite of what you said."
Yu She was about to leave after saying that, Princess An Guo got up in a hurry and blurted out, "Brother Huang... he's not in good health!"
Yu She took a step.
"Ziyou." Princess An Guo got up, walked to Yu She's side, and said helplessly, "I'm worried for you! Since Xuan Jin is gone, the emperor has been ill, and his spirit is not as good as before. If there is an emergency... How are you going?"
Yu She tilted her head to look at the eldest princess of An Guo, and looked at each other for a moment. Yu She said softly, "Princess, you are Xuan Qiong's aunt, and Prince Yu's first wife. As long as you don't make big mistakes, you will not be able to escape the glory and wealth of your life."
Yu She chuckled softly: "Be content with it, you have to be the empress..."
With a snap, Yu She was slapped by Princess An Guo.
After hitting Yu She, Princess An Guo panicked and said anxiously, "Ziyou..."
The eldest princess of An Guo wanted to pull Yu She to look at his face, but Yu She turned her head to hide.
It was not the first time that she had been slapped. This time, Yu She was neither frightened nor frightened. He raised his hand expressionlessly and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his thumb. He glanced at it and wiped it on the handkerchief.
Yu She licked the corners of his mouth, and finished the sentence with a smile, "Do you still have to be the empress dowager?"
Princess An Guo felt ashamed and regretful, "I just made you angry, let me see..."
"No need." Yu She took a half step back, "The princess has also beaten her, and I went back to the mansion to think about it."
"Ziyou..." Princess An Guo almost begged, "I'm not just for myself! In any case, you are my closest blood relative now, why wouldn't I help you? You... You are not afraid that Xuan Qiong will come to the throne in the future, leaving you no room. How can it be? It's not just you, but the people around you, how can you not be affected?! Even if I can keep this princess mansion, I can only sigh! I…”
Yu She's eyes trembled, the people around her...
Yu She gritted her teeth.
Why can't he just stay in Qian'an? ! !
Seeing Yu She's intention to move, Princess An Guo hurriedly said, "Ziyou... Are you really heartless? Don't care about anything?"
Originally it was absolutely dead.
Yu She had tinnitus in his ears, and his head hurt again. He frowned, "I'll talk about it later..."
Yu She staggered two steps and walked out of the warm pavilion.
On the way back to the courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion, Yu She had a splitting headache.
Xuan Jin's death broke the delicate balance in Beijing, and the battle for succession had already begun.
Yu She was originally able to mix the water with ease and enjoyment while watching others fight, and finally died at the hands of some idiot without any worries.
One hundred.
But, but…
Yu She's hallucinations began to appear in front of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were still hurting. He seemed to have returned to six years ago in an instant, in the Princess Mansion, and this slap... All of a sudden, his chaotic youth was over.
Yu She could have been relieved at that moment, but Zhong Wan was thousands of miles away, and he was so angry that he came alive.
Yu She can ignore it now, but Zhong Wan is just staying in that ghostly palace of Qian'an!
Yu She was so angry that she couldn't help pouring all her hatred on Zhong Wan.
"He's using me too, he's actually using me..."
Yu She muttered to himself, a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
The family general who accompanied the car had very good ears. Hearing the movement in the car, he urged the horse to follow the car, leaned down and asked, "Is there any order from the prince?"
In the carriage, Yu She's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "Resolve someone for me..."
When the family general heard a name, his heart froze, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Is the prince sure?"
There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and he said, "Yes."
The general bowed his body, listened carefully to Yu She's instructions, and asked, "...Tonight?"
Yu She's voice in the carriage was cold: "Now!"
Jia Jiang's eyes were complicated, but he didn't dare to disobey his order, and waved his whip away.
In the Qian'an Prince's Mansion, Zhong Wan didn't eat a few mouthfuls a day. Lying on the bed felt uncomfortable, and couldn't stop turning over.
Zhong Wan said to himself, "He doesn't owe me anything..."
Zhong Wan turned around again.
Zhong Wan didn't think much about it. He and Yu She were nothing. If Yu She really got married, then...
That Zhong Wan will also stay.
It's just that it won't go overboard again.
Zhong Wan whispered, "I would have kissed a little longer before I knew it..."
When the window lattice in Zhong Wan's room rang, Zhong Wan laughed: "You live in a yard with me, and you have to open the window when you enter my house?"
Zhong Wan raised his hand and lifted the curtain, and said in a daze, "What's wrong?"
There was no light in the room, Zhong Wan got up, lit the candle table with a little spark from the incense burner, turned around, and his heart thumped.
A masked man with a knife stood in the middle of the room.
Zhong Wan put down the candlestick gently and tried his best to calmly say: "The chivalrous person is..."
The family general tore off the veil and said coldly, "I was ordered by little prince Yu, and I offended you."
The home general said that he took a step forward and pulled up Zhong Wan's left arm. The home general looked down and confirmed that it was the hand without the gauze.
The general took out the dagger from his waist, but did not remove the scabbard. He held the scabbard with his backhand, and slapped the palm of Zhong Wan's hand with the hilt of the dagger.
Softly: "Crack!"
Zhong Wan: "…"
The family general put away the dagger and clenched his fists: "I don't know what wrong Master Zhong did, but our prince was so angry that he was so angry that he asked me to... come and punish Master Zhong for one or two!"
Zhong Wan looked down at his white palm and said blankly, "Oh."
The family general bowed: "I also ask Young Master Zhong to meditate on his past, and don't do it again! I'm leaving."
Chapter 43: Prince Yu disagreed with each other and beat the people in the room to a bloody, human-like appearance.
In the middle of the night, Yu She sat on the couch with her hair loose, with a person kneeling on the ground beside her, trembling uncontrollably.
Yu She didn't ask questions, didn't torture her, and just took care of herself.
Butler Feng took the ointment and came into the room. He tilted his head and glanced at him. He felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen him at the residence of the eldest princess of An Guo.
Butler Feng put the ointment on the small table and did not dare to speak.
There were only a handful of people in the world who dared to attack Yu She. Yu She came from the Princess Mansion, and who hit the wound on his face... One can imagine.
The corners of Yu She's mouth were still smeared with blood, but Steward Feng couldn't stand it any longer and asked in a low voice, "Sir, does it hurt? It's still bleeding, can I give you some medicine?"
Yu She didn't speak.
Seeing that he didn't say no, Butler Feng took the ointment and came out to give him medicine. Yu She turned his head to hide, and finally said, "Go, I have something to ask."
Butler Feng looked down at the person kneeling on the ground, sighed and went out.
Yu She then went into a trance.
After an unknown amount of time, when the person kneeling on the ground was almost scared to death, Yu She finally remembered him.
Yu She suddenly asked, "How is the emperor?"
This person is the confidant of Princess Anguo, and he hides it very well on weekdays. He never thought that he would be noticed by Yu She. He knew the position of Princess Anguo, calmed down, and said with a trembling voice: "It's really not good... It's just that no one dared to ask."
Inquiring about the emperor's body is considered a treason, and everyone knows that it is taboo.
Yu She narrowed her eyes: "How did the princess know that?"
"The eldest princess often goes to greet the emperor. Maybe she sees something? Plus..." the confidant said in a low voice, "The eldest princess has her own staff in the Taiyuan Hospital. To replace…”
Yu She said lightly: "Speak nonsense and cut off your finger."
The confidant was at a loss for words, and then said: "The eldest princess has no other meaning to inquire about this. She is just worried that the emperor is like the previous emperor, too, too... too unconcerned about the impermanence of the world."
The confidant did not dare to say much about Emperor Chong'an, so he had to take the late emperor as an example: "Didn't the late emperor believe in long live the mountains and rivers that day, and didn't set up the prince early, so many things happened? When our emperor is in good spirits, we will cook the dishes that should be cooked."
Yu She lost her patience, "Just because the emperor was ill, she suddenly became so anxious?"
"Also! And..." The confidant broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly, "To tell the truth, the eldest princess didn't want to intervene, but Concubine Yu was aggressive, and the prince knew that the eldest princess and Concubine Yu had been at odds for a long time. , If the fifth prince ascends the throne in the future, it is nice to say that the fifth prince is the blood of the princess, but who can't understand what happens in private? Concubine Yu is narrow-minded, if she becomes the queen mother, how generous can she be to the eldest princess? "
"Our lord has been walking around too much with the fifth prince these days. The eldest princess is uneasy. Although the lord and the princess have been in love for decades, but the husband and wife are either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. After all, there are still two concubines in the middle... Now it's fine, but what about in the future? In the future, if our prince becomes the country's uncle in power, and the eldest princess disappears, will Prince Yu still... respect the princess so much?"
The confidant glanced at Yu She and said bravely: "At that time, the princess will not be able to protect your position as the prince..."
Yu She sneered, "That's great... My chess piece is really useful."
Yu She raised her eyes and asked curiously, "Why don't you worry, I don't care about these things? The position of the prince is gone. Whoever likes to take my life will take it."
My confidant is sweating, why don't you worry? !
Yu She has been seeking death from time to time over the years. Princess Anguo had already put out the idea, and did not dare to count on him. She planned to resign herself to fate. After all, no matter who succeeded the throne, she was the emperor's biological aunt. How popular! With the position of the empress dowager at your fingertips, how could Princess An Guo not be moved
The confidant whispered: "The princess thinks... the prince may have the idea of fighting for a fight. If the prince has this intention, the princess will naturally help."
Yu She said lightly, "How does she want to help?"
But his confidant was timid, he hesitated for a while, "Princess think, think, think..."
The confidant "thought" for a long time did not dare to say it, Yu She said for him: "I want the emperor to recognize me when he is healthy."
The confidant hurriedly said: "This is the best!"
Yu She leaned down slightly, looked into his confidant's eyes, and said softly, "Has the princess thought about calling him a father... How disgusting would I be?"
The confidant was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, he bumped into Yu She's sinister eyes, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed.
This heart has been cold for a long time, but now that he has been stabbed in two more times, Yu She has no feeling, and said numbly, "You go."
The confidant was stunned. He thought that he would lose his skin even if he didn't die. This... This made him go away
"Tell the princess." Yu She got up, "Don't be smart, don't make assumptions."
The confidant hesitated, did Yu She agree or not
The confidant tentatively said: "The matter of discussing relatives..."
Yu She lowered her eyes and said, "I will ask the emperor to marry the fourth princess once."
The confidant hurriedly said: "Don't dare to dare, just now is the villain who talks too much!"
Yu She closed her eyes and tried her best to seal all the joys she had with Princess An Guo when she was young, so as not to drive herself crazy again.
"What are you thinking... I know all about it, do you just want me to be married? Do you just want me to have children?" Yu She looked back at his confidant and smiled, "The princess wants to find someone, justifiably, watching all the time. Me, stare at me, treat me like a puppet, don't you?"
The confidant was startled, he didn't expect that Yu She had even guessed this, but still refused to admit it, "The princess just wants to find a companion for the prince! The prince is not young, and the house is empty on weekdays. Isn't the prince's mood even worse? Ning? It would be best if there is someone who knows and accompanies you, even if you can't communicate with the prince, then..."
"Then there may be a child, so the princess can feel at ease." Yu She said to himself, "If I like her, it will be even more lively, and the princess can control me more easily..."
Yu She looked down at his confidant and whispered softly: "I gave up this idea early, not to mention that I will not marry or take a concubine, but I have..."
Yu She lightly touched his confidant's head with the toe of his boot, "Even if I have it, even if I like it, I won't be led by the nose, in my place, there is no one who can make me reluctant to let go, understand? "
Trembling, he nodded.
Yu She didn't know what to think, and whispered in a low voice: "No matter how much you like it... I won't care, I will fight if I want, I feel unhappy, and I will wake him up in the middle of the night and have him beat him to death. , killed... I wouldn't care."
The confidant was taken aback and reluctantly agreed.
Yu She shook his head, as if he had just discovered that there was another person under his feet, and said in annoyance, "Get out when you know!"
The confidant felt that Yu She had already moved seven or eight points, and felt that he could deal with the eldest princess, so he was busy.
Yu She was exhausted and wanted to sleep, but he was still worried, and the home general who had been waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion for a long time came in.
The family will kneel down and tell the story of the Qian'an Mansion from beginning to end.
Yu She listened quietly and nodded: "You did a good job, and I have one more thing for you to do."
The family general didn't want to do it very much, but he dared not speak out in anger. He lowered his head and said, "The prince ordered me."
"Exaggerate what happened today... and spread it out." Yu She said irritably, "So that my ears will be quiet."
The family will be embarrassed: "Shizi... subordinates are incompetent, they can't do this."
"If you can't, just ask others! There are so many people in the family, none of them can make up nonsense?" Yu She rubbed his eyebrows, "I have a headache... don't bother me."
Jia Jiang nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
The family general watched Yu She enter the bedroom, clenched his fists, and went away.
Two days later, Xuan Congxin chatted with Zhong Wan while reading a book in the palace of Qian'an.
"Yu Xiaowang's marriage has turned yellow." Xuan Congxin turned a page of the book and sighed, "This person in Beijing is really..."
Zhong Wan tried his best to remain calm, "Why... yellow?"
Xuan Congxin glanced at Xuan Yu who was writing in large characters not far away, put down the book in hand, and whispered, "Come with me."
Zhong Wan looked solemn, took a deep breath, got up and put on the fox fur, went out of the study together with Xuan Congxin, and closed the door gently.
The two walked into the courtyard, and Xuan Congxin said softly, "I heard it at the Third Prince's Mansion. It's a bit dirty, and I don't want Xuan Yu to know about it."
Zhong Wan was dumbfounded: "Why... filthy?"
Isn't something wrong with Yu She
"It's that little prince Yu." Xuan Congxin lowered his voice, "There is a habit!"
Zhong Wan was startled, "What kind of fetish?!"
Is it possible that Yu She has any other illness that he didn't let him know about
Xuan Cong hesitated again and again, considered his words, and said quickly, "Little Prince Yu, he likes to beat people in the room!"
Zhong Wan was dumbfounded: "I... how come I don't know?"
Xuan Congxin looked at Zhong Wan inexplicably, "Why do you know?"
Zhong Wan was speechless.
Xuan Congxin said puzzled: "Why do I have nothing to do with making up such nonsense? Others said, I just listened, Yu Xiaowang really can't marry, not only is he bad tempered, but he will actually do something to the people in his room. Don't talk about Beijing, even in our Qian'an, such a person can't get his wife, so... Now I'm afraid no one dares to talk to him, a good girl married, maybe he will be killed in a few days already."
Zhong Wan was speechless and said with difficulty: "No, who said this? How can you spread rumors like this?!"
"I can't remember which Mrs. and Mrs. said which sentence." Xuan Congxin seriously recalled, "Oh, it means that Prince Yu disagreed with each other and beat the people in the room into a bloody, human-like form. "
Zhong Wan was horrified: "Not a human figure?!"
"I also suspect that someone is exaggerating, because it was said earlier that Prince Yu was not pleasing to the eyes of the people in the room, so he picked up a dagger and stabbed the people in the room."
Zhong Wan was shocked and speechless.
"Further ahead, it means that Prince Yu has a bad temper, and the people in the room are not pleasing to the eye, so the family in the house will stab the people in the room."
"Further ahead, it means that Yu Xiaowang has a big temper, and the people in the room made him angry. It was almost midnight. When he remembered it, he was still angry and couldn't bear it. He immediately sent ten iron-clad generals over and took people out of bed. Grab it and give it a hand!"
Xuan Congxin shuddered, and said in a low voice, "Even the lightest one is terrifying! Think about it... If we disagree, we will send ten generals to fight, ten strong men! Don't you break your hands?"
Zhong Wan looked down at his left palm and was speechless for a long time.
