The door to the courtyard slowly closed, and two people walked out of the alley diagonally opposite.
"Lu Tao, she really has a lot of things she is hiding from me." Wen Qingzhu said while thinking about what happened just now.
As expected, Wen Qingxin had known for a long time that something would happen at the Wen family's old residence.
With his eyes focused, Wen Qingzhu turned around and put down the thin gauze curtain: "Let's go to Fengguo Temple to visit Master Huixin."
Fengguo Temple, in the Zen room.
Wen Qingzhu and Huixin sat face to face on the Arhat bed in front of the window.
On one side of the small table, there is a pot of hot tea brought by the novice monk, using the most ordinary pottery cup.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Wen Qingzhu picked up the steaming cup, blew it gently, and took a sip.
The tea tastes bitter, but after a few seconds, you can taste a hint of sweetness.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Huixin's complexion improved a lot, but she was not fully recovered. She just clasped her hands together and said, "The wild tea on the mountain is not a precious variety."
"After drinking all kinds of tea, I still think the tea from Master Huixin is delicious." After Wen Qingzhu praised it, he took out the relic's purse.
It was still the old purse embroidered with lotus flowers. Wen Qingzhu pushed it to Master Huixin.
"Master, please accept it."
"This is what Master left for you. Master must have some intention." Huixin stretched out her hand and pushed the relic back.
Standing at the door of the Zen room, Wen Qingzhu clasped his hands and said to Huixin: "Master, there is no need to see you off. Take care of yourself."
Hui Xin's eyes were kind and her smile was light: "Miss Wen is getting married tomorrow. I don't have anything to send you. This blood jade lotus flower, please don't be polite to Miss Wen."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized blood jade lotus flower.
"This is it?" Wen Qingzhu vaguely felt that this thing looked familiar.
Huixin handed it to Lu Tao. She glanced at Wen Qingzhu and reached out to take it.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the blood jade lotus, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
When Huixin saw her subordinates, she bowed and said goodbye, then closed the door.
"Give it to me." Wen Qingzhu didn't know what happened to him, but he stretched out his hand out of nowhere.
The moment Lu Tao handed it over, Wen Qingzhu felt a strange feeling when his palm touched the blood jade lotus.
Back at Xue Mansion, Yueniang and Wen Qingmei had already arrived.
When she saw them, Wen Qingzhu noticed that there were lights and colorful lights everywhere in the house, and she was going to marry Fu Lie tomorrow.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Wen Qingmei thought she was still having trouble with Fu Lie, so she went over and held her hand.
Wen Qingzhu smiled reluctantly, led them to sit down, and began to talk about tomorrow's wedding.
After about an hour, everything was basically settled.
Yueniang pinched the handkerchief and said nervously: "Qingzhu, is this place too close to Ping Guohou?"
"It's quite close, but in order to show off how good he is to Marquis Pingguo, the emperor plans to have Shili Hongzhuang Shop go to the city gate, and the procession to welcome the bride will probably circle around."
Wen Qingzhu said these words casually, still thinking about the blood jade lotus in his purse.
What exactly is this
Yueniang could see that she was worried, but if she didn't talk about that matter today, she might not have a chance.
Wen Qingmei glanced at her mother, gritted her teeth and knelt down: "Sister, His Royal Highness King Chu and Concubine Lan are here."
"Huh?" Wen Qingzhu immediately came to his senses when he heard Jiang Yuancheng's name.
"That's it." Yueniang also stood up, "I... I am pregnant, and the King of Chu knows about it. This child is... is..."
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and interrupted her: "I don't care about anything else. What are the conditions of King Chu?"
"He wants you to marry from the Wen family, and the King of Chu will come to marry you." Yueniang also knows that only brothers or clan brothers can marry you, and it is even more against the rules for someone who is not a serious brother-in-law.
But Yueniang wanted to keep the child, so she discussed it with Wen Qingmei and decided to come over and ask.
After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu showed a mocking smile on his face: "As expected of the King of Chu, he is indeed capable."
Wen Qingzhu also stood up, looked outside and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to visit our King of Chu right now."
Because Wanbi kidnapped Wen Qingfang, stole the golden order, and was closely related to the poisoning of the emperor's eldest grandson, Wanbi has been banned.
Jiang Yuancheng couldn't worry about Concubine Wan, and things on the other side of the canal were basically settled, so he stayed in the capital.
Sitting in the main room, Jiang Yuancheng had several empty wine bottles in front of him.
Jiang Yuancheng, who never allowed himself to drink, was drinking wantonly.
"Your Highness, Miss Wen would like to see you."
Jiang Yuancheng's eyes darkened and he stood up instantly, but then sat down again.
The maid who delivered the message was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether to let Wen Qingzhu in.
"You go down, I will take care of His Highness." Wen Qingzhu walked in and looked at Jiang Yuancheng with a smile.
The maid retreated, Jiang Yuancheng raised his head and looked at her quietly: "What are you here for?"
"Jiang Yuancheng, sometimes I really don't understand what you are thinking?" Wen Qingzhu walked to sit opposite Jiang Yuancheng.
Looking at the wine on the table, Wen Qingzhu only felt funny.
In her previous life, she had devoted her whole heart and soul to it, but what she got in return was an extremely miserable ending.
In this life, her careful planning actually exchanged two points of his sincerity
Wen Qingzhu reached out and picked up a wine bottle on the table. Is it really best not to get it
"I'll give you a chance. If the person you come to marry you tomorrow is me, I will help the queen turn over."
Jiang Yuancheng looked at her sideways: "Wen Qingzhu, you know, this is impossible! This is a marriage gift from the emperor!"
"So what? How did he get the throne? You just have to imitate it." Wen Qingzhu said without hesitation, looking directly at Jiang Yuancheng.
All the sadness that could be revealed in Jiang Yuancheng's eyes disappeared, and now there was only seven points of vigilance and three points of fear left.
Wen Qingzhu put down the wine bottle in his hand, stood up, and walked behind Jiang Yuancheng.
Put your hands on his shoulders, put your cheek close to Jiang Yuancheng's ear, and said softly: "Jiang Yuancheng, you don't have to act in front of me. We are the same kind of people. The reason why you dare not take action is just that you don't have military power in your hands." .”
Jiang Yuancheng clenched his fists. He didn't like to be seen through, especially women.
Wen Qingzhu let go of his hand, walked to sit opposite him, and looked up at him: "You know, I can give you more, including the position you have been thinking about for many years."
Jiang Yuancheng tried to hide his feelings and asked her in turn: "You really remembered a lot of things."
"Of course, after all, my medical skills, if you think about it carefully, may be inferior to that of Dr. Zhong who sees the dragon but never sees its end."
"Then you can help me eradicate King Rui? Fu Lie? Wei family?" Jiang Yuancheng began to have a plan in his mind. Maybe he had to change his mind.
Wen Qingzhu sneered: "I said, we are the same kind of people."
Changing the subject, she added: "Of course it's not without conditions. You know my temperament and I prefer to be in power."
"You want to get involved in politics?" Jiang Yuancheng was not surprised, but this was something he would never tolerate.
Wen Qingzhu naturally knew that the two of them were performing on each other to see who could deceive the other.
True and false, false and true, there will always be someone who is slightly inferior.
"Interfering in politics?!" Wen Qingzhu curled his lips and his eyes were very sarcastic, "What I want is half of the court's right to speak."
"You!" Jiang Yuancheng was extremely angry, but he soon relaxed again.
Now that Wen Qingzhu thinks so, then she thinks about herself...
Jiang Yuancheng looked at Wen Qingzhu's belly and suddenly understood.
This child is really an important weapon to change the situation.
"I heard that the newly appointed admiral in Kangcheng is from Fu Lie's side." Jiang Yuancheng was the first to put forward the conditions.
Hearing the word "Kangcheng", Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Yes, his name is Chen Wen. He was born in a large camp on the outskirts of Beijing. He admired Fu Lie very much at the beginning. Over the years, step by step, he finally became the admiral of a city."
Jiang Yuancheng laughed: "It's up to you to get married tomorrow, and your stepmother's affairs will not be leaked."
Wen Qingzhu frowned: "Then tomorrow..."
"You know, you have no choice." Jiang Yuancheng suddenly felt that marrying Wen Qingzhu to Fu Lie was the right decision.
But what he didn't know was that a few years later he would completely regret it.
Regret that he would either directly see through all Wen Qingzhu's plots, or simply fall into her trap.
But he chose to be dubious.
Smart people are always a little conceited, and Wen Qingzhu knows this very well.
So when Wen Qingzhu said the last sentence, Wen Qingzhu turned his back and left without any hesitation.
In addition to the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion, Wen Qingzhu looked back at the plaque of Prince Chu's Mansion, and said in front of the servants of Prince Chu's Mansion: "I will come back one day."
Come and kill Jiang Yuancheng!
After getting on the carriage, Wen Qingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Tao quickly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief: "Miss, will King Chu really take the bait?"
"Yes! You will slowly get to know people like him." Wen Qingzhu thought he knew Jiang Yuancheng fairly well. Thinking of the step by step steps he had taken before, he finally put Wan Bin into a big cage.
Wen Qingzhu felt that going through so many things was not in vain.
At least at tomorrow's wedding, if Wanbi wants to cause trouble, she won't be able to spare so many hands.
Her good son will naturally help stop it.
"By the way, is there any news from the palace?" Wen Qingzhu was a little thirsty. He took the teapot on the small table and poured it out, and found that what came out was actually milky white clear soup.
"What is this?" Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Shaoyao next to him.
Shaoyao lowered his head, and Lu Tao could only explain honestly: "This is... the young master's order. He said that the young lady is too tired and needs to replenish her body?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at the cup of soup and then at his two maids: "Have you all told Mingxuan?"
Lu Tao only felt that Wen Qingzhu's gaze was too dazzling, but she had to say: "We didn't tell you, the young master found it himself. The house was busy dealing with the blackworm disease yesterday, and the young master may have been to your room. .”
"Okay, this explanation is quite acceptable." Wen Qingzhu forced himself to laugh, but he began to worry in his heart.
After careful calculation, Mingxuan is also twelve years old.
Moreover, he has stayed in the palace for so long, and I am afraid he has learned everything he needs to learn.
At night, Wen Qingzhu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She has been thinking about her and Fu Lie. They are getting married tomorrow.
In this way, Wen Qingzhu discovered that Fu Lie was the one she married twice.
In her previous life, she was very nervous, worried that Fu Lie would do something outrageous.
But what is she nervous about this time
Although Wen Qingzhu was indeed very angry when Fu Lie did not cooperate with her last time, but thinking about it carefully, Fu Lie was an official student of the teacher.
Then he will definitely have his own ideas.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't sleep. When he turned over, he saw a faint red highlight under the corner of the quilt.
Wen Qingzhu opened the quilt and took a look and found that it was the blood jade lotus flower given to her by Huixin.
Ever since he came into contact with this lotus, Wen Qingzhu has been reluctant to touch it.
She doesn't know why, but when she touches this lotus, she always feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and then she can't help but think of Fu'er.
Fu'er
Looking at the red light, Wen Qingzhu reached out and held it.
This time, she was so restless that she instantly felt at ease and quickly fell asleep.
