Chapter 108 Conspiracy and Marriage
The fun continued until about the morning of the next day. The bonfire reduced interest rates and the cold came. The remaining few people left their way to leave. The eighth princess and the fourth princess were sleepy and ordered a few green cypresses in the shape of animals. They were worried that if they would not give up tomorrow, they would just want to live here.
Ruoqi was sleepy and tired after drinking a few cups. She personally sent them to the house to rest. Seeing that they were so tired that they bent down and beat their backs, they were no longer allowed to clean up. Tomorrow, the eunuchs of Gong Ling jumped so happily and called the princess a thousand years old.
Shuangling wanted to help her change her clothes and wash, and also sent her away. When she pushed the door, she was covered her mouth and nose with a big palm and pressed against the wall, "If it's me." Are you really convinced by him? Why is it like this every time he appears?
Seeing that the little man under his body was not moving, Liang Mu slowly let go. Ruo Ying turned around and punched him in the chest with a buzzing sound. His little fist was knocking on the protective mirror on his chest. His soreness and shock spread. A small face was cramped with pain, and he didn't know where to put his fist. "Why did you... come to me again?"
Liang Mu was worried about her arm, pulled it over, pinched and rubbed it. "Aren't I worried about you?"
"Bah, do you want me to die early? Oh! Pain...pain...be gentle..."
"Okay, okay..." The little red and swollen hand like a steamed bun was wrapped in his warm palm, gently blowing air, applied the ointment, and the white cloth wrapped around him and slowly let go. "What's the matter?" Ruoyan always stared at him, and the gratitude that had just risen in his heart completely collapsed because he was the originator.
"I want to tell you that the seventh princess wants you to marry instead." Liang Mu answered righteous.
With a sneer, Ruoyan raised her eyebrows: "What is she that she wants me to marry instead? It is absolutely impossible to rely on the emperor's love for me and the care of the empress dowager.
Liang Mu nodded calmly, and the hesitation in his eyes was even better. "I believe this, but Jing Long said that many ministers began to start this matter, but the emperor did not respond."
If you can't stand up, "Why should I replace the seventh princess in this huge palace? Say a reason first."
"The reason is very simple. You are not a virgin, and you don't have a father-in-law, and you have the title of escaping from marriage. You are a royal shame. Marrying in the desert as a disgrace can relieve the danger of soldiers under the city and get rid of the entanglement of ministers day by day. Do you think the emperor will not be moved?" Liang Mu knew that his words were too heavy, but he had to take this powerful medicine.
"And then?" Ruoyu sneered, "Do you want me to tell them that General Lianyi is my husband?"
When Liang Mu saw her like this, he was even more sad: "If you wake up, how long do you think it can protect you? Today, the seventh princess blatantly provoked, isn't there someone behind it? If you are not in the court, how can you know that the officialdom is changing? The seventh princess's uncle is the left prime minister, holding heavy power, and the seventh princess and the son of the left prime minister have already had a marriage contract, so how can they give up easily? Don't you think it's a waste if they don't play tricks on you?"
The person who was intoxicated with joy was ruthlessly pulled into the cold. Ruo Yu only felt cold all over her body and couldn't wait to freeze her breath. Her palms trembled coldly and suddenly clenched her fist. She sneered and questioned, "Then what do you think about telling me this? Do you have any plans?"
"Yes, but you don't want to." Liang Mu is still self-aknowledgeable. If you hum coldly, the entangled color on your face is even better, "Go back! I will think about it." Liang Mu seemed to hear the sound of heaven and took her hand excitedly: "If you, I still have me in my heart, but I'm just angry and can't think about it for a moment. Don't worry, I won't let you marry far away from the desert."
Ruoyan sneered and pulled back her palm, but began to make another plan in her heart: "What are you going to do? Do you think the emperor is unsuspecting of Jinglong? I think it's better to forget it!" Although she is not proficient in state affairs, she is okay. First of all, whether the emperor is in love or nothing will touch her immediately, and the seventh princess! Too positive, the mother's family holds a lot of power, but in the end, it can't be the lord of the royal family. It's just pressure.
But what if you should come down! This is thousands of miles away from the desert, and the wind and clouds are changing on the road. Isn't it too much to get a civet cat for a prince, or die of illness? In this harsh boundary, it is normal.
The more I thought about it, the more perfect I felt. I didn't feel at all. I pushed Liangmu out of the door. "Don't let me see you in the future, just think I'm dead." Liang Mu was pushed out unexpectedly. Just as he turned around and was about to hit the door, he listened to her cold tone and gritted his teeth and retreated.
He lifted a crack in the door and watched his tall figure slowly disappear. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you and I will have no chance in this life."
The three alleys in the north of Suizhou are famous slums, mixed with hardships, old servants, sellers, and begging. The low and dilapidated shanty huts were piled up one by one. Dirty water and garbage piled up at the door, sealing half of the only path. A gust of acid smell came from the inner room, which made people couldn't help but feel nauseous.
The yellow and thin beggar was powerless to crawl on the ground. When he saw someone passing by, he stretched out a broken porcelain bowl and said, "Please, senior officials, okay!" People who pass by avoid it for fear of staining the good materials on their bodies.
At the corner of the intersection, a young woman came from afar, dressed in luxurious clothes, gold and silver jewelry reflected the sun, and the people were dazzling. Several beggars saw it and thought it was the reincarnation of Bodhisattva, and rushed over together, but before they got close, they were inexplicably kicked away and fell to the ground in pain.
"It's so dirty!" The cold voice was like a fierce ghost, which scared the beggars to flee. Duan Qing shook the corners of his clothes and retreated to a dry place in disgust.
"Wait..." The woman's graceful and delicate voice was enchanting. The beggar's forward feet stopped down and banged a few times. Those beggars knelt in front of the woman. They saw the woman's phoenix's eyes upturned and smiled charmingly, spreading out the scroll in her hand to show them. "I heard that this woman just If you live here and can take me to find her, thank you very much.
The beggars were addicted to the sound of nature. They saw the woman take down the lotus bag and the silver ingots jumping out. At that time, they were fascinated by everyone's eyes and were rushing up. The bright knife was already in front of everyone. "Say, have you seen her?" Duan Qingjian raised his eyebrows, as if the beast was approaching the moment of pounce on food, which scared several beggars and dared not come forward.
The woman was annoyed, and Bai Jing's little hand pushed away the inconvenient knife, "Duan Qing, can you be gentle?"
"Lin Juaner, if I am like you, is there any way to work?" What Duan Qing said! Lin Juaner shook her head helplessly and bent down to pick up a silver ingot from the ground. "Tell me quickly and I'll give it to you right away."
After so** several times, finally a beggar said, "Small, small, as if you've seen it." The ingot in Lin Juaner's hand was thrown in a parabola and was picked up by the small one. "Quickly take me over."
In the deepest part of Beisan Hutong, the people who live are also doing the lowest business. The Gaohua Building on Ming Street is called a brothel, and it is located here, which is a private prostitute. What they do with different reputations are similar. It's just that the man shouts softly and sells resources. After doing it for a long time, no one thinks it's nothing. What a shame, when I see young adults passing by, I can't wait to paste it on it!
Duan Qing's face was green, and his sword was inseparable from his hand. He couldn't wait to chop off his claws to sacrifice to the sky. However, Lin Juaner smiled like a sun, which made these lowest-level women dare not look directly at him. That's it. The little one said goodbye. As soon as the beggar wanted to leave, the sword front put it on his neck, which made his legs tremble. He almost urinated incontinence and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Uncle, I really didn't lie."
"Knock on the door." Duan Qing opened his mouth coldly, and the beggar ran to the door with oil on the soles of his feet and shouted, "Open the door, open the door!"
Last night, I picked up a dead ghost to do business for half a night. I was so tired that my back pain and my head was dizzy. The dead ghost just left. My head was just stained with a pillow. Why did the business come to the door again? Listening to the roar of the men, I was reincarnated with the evil spirit. Thinking of the strong man last night, Shani couldn't help sweating coldly.
"People are not here, and people were fucked/dead last night!"
Lin Juaner was standing at the door listening to the sound and laughed. Duan Qing's face was as black as the dust at the bottom of the pot and kicked him. "If it's a person, he will die for the uncle." Xiangni was furious, got out of the quilt naked, pointed to the big man and shouted, "You shameless, grandma, I won't receive guests today. What can you do with me?"
Her hands pinched her waist like a teapot. Whether it was something to see or rude, it was undoubtedly revealed. On the contrary, she was very proud and straightened her neck, with two red plums on her chest, trembling with the cold wind.
The beggar had already been dazzled. The huge thing under his body bounced up, and the ingot in his hand was held tightly. Just now, he didn't dare to let go of the knife on his neck. At this time, he loosened and walked over little by little, "Sister Xiang, is these enough to do it once?"
Xiangni didn't look at him, but just stared at a man and a woman in a golden crown in front of her. Duan Qing reacted quickly, covered Lin Juan's eyes with her hands and roared, "Don't look at her if you are rude." Lin Juaner smiled charmingly, "Brother Duan, you covered it wrong." Reach out and pull his hand away and cover his own eyes.
Lin Juaner moved forward slowly and walked slowly, which was very different from Xiangni's mother-in-law and aunt who had met before. Looking at her gentle, elegant and generous lady, she smiled very kindly. If she didn't come to seek revenge, she could only ask for her.
As for what? She didn't know, but her expression was a little more comfortable. How could she escape from Lin Juaner's magic eyes? If she didn't look at her body and gray-yellow face, remove the bruise at the corners of her mouth, and slightly decorate it, it was really the appearance of Mrs.
She nodded with satisfaction and leaned forward very familiarly, "Won't you invite me to sit in?" Such politeness made Shani at a loss. She pulled down her robe from the wooden shelf and put it on her body. She didn't dare to invite her in and pointed to the nearby wooden stake. "Madam, it's too dirty for your eyes. Why don't you sit here?"
"Okay!" Lin Juan didn't have a shelf. She wink at Duan Qing behind her. In a blink of an eye, the two men disappeared, and the surroundings were suddenly immersed in silence. Although it was noon, for their work, it was equivalent to when they went to bed in the middle of the night, so they didn't have to worry about the wall with ears.
But Lin Juaner still lowered her voice alertly and asked with a smile, "Is the little lady willing to take the big business?" Xiangni smiled and said, "Madam is so funny. What do I do? I don't want money, but I'm full of gambling debts."
Lin Juan didn't frown and said, "I helped you pay off your gambling debts, keep you worry-free, and instantly become more than 10,000 people under one person, okay?"
Xiani seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, and her tears of laughter were left. "Is your wife bored at home? She is looking for me to be happy. If so, please give me some money first. I'll make a few boredoms to listen to you."
Lin Juan sneered coldly: "I'm afraid that without this face, you won't see me for eight lives. It's polite for me to treat you like this. If you are stubborn, I'm afraid it's no different from a dead cat and dog."
I saw many evil women and countless complaining women, but I have never seen the master who killed without a knife. She was so scared that she felt in the ice and snow. After a few shivering, she restrained her stubborn appearance and asked, "What are the requirements?"
Lin Juan was not embarrassed to see her restraint and continued to smile: "Yes, just learn how to be a master."
"Master..."
"This is the first time for Mrs. Xia to enter the palace, right?" Xia'er followed a M Mother, didn't dare to raise her head and answered, "Yes, it's the first time."
"Oh! You don't know, the princess is thinking about you. It's not easy to ask someone to bring you in. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. The princess is taking care of everything..." Xia'er blindly nodded. As for what Mami said, her left ear came in and her right ear flowed out, thinking that her wife was a princess of a country. She was so happy that she cried many times. I also realized that I'm afraid I won't see the kind-hearted master in my life.
However, after several months of sadness, she learned that the princess not only thought of her, but also summoned her to the palace. How could she not be excited? It was just that the implied meaning in her letter made her start to worry again. Is your wife unhappy?
"Madam Xia has arrived. You wait here and I'll pass it on." After the old woman left, Xia'er looked down at the ground and dared not move. Time seemed to be frozen and walked more and more slowly. In fact, it was just a few steps away, and she was soon passed in.
In the four-door hall, the candlelight was lit on the gilded high crane crown lamp stand, and the incense burner was full of fragrance, which was confusing. I felt that the door behind me was quiet and tightly, so I covered the cool autumn frost outside. "Xia'er knocked on the princess, thousand years, thousand years old, thousand years old."
Half of a sound and no one responded, Xia Er dared to look up and face Ruo Ying's bright eyes, which scared her back and sit on the ground, making Ruo Ying laugh all the time. She reached out and pull her up, "It's dead and pretending. I can't give a big gift here. Don't you forget it?"
Xia'er's face was red and she was even more excited when she questioned. She wanted to grab her hand, but she felt something wrong. She was hesitating and was grabbed by her. Ruoyu pouted, "What's wrong, are you stupid?"
"No, no." Xia'er spoke very uncholy. If she knew that she was restrained, she took her hand and entered the inner room. The two sat on the long collapse with a smile, "How's your home?" Xia'er nodded, "It's all good, but I miss you very much. Liangfeng always talks about you..." At this time, she felt that Liangfeng was inappropriate and quickly changed her words: "By the way, madam, oh, no, princess, master, oh, no, it was lost by the second young master of the Lian family. I heard from the Liang family that I haven't seen him for months."
Seeing that she said more and wrongly, Ruoyu couldn't help laughing and held her hand tightly. "Don't be nervous. I'm so nervous. The second young master of the Lian family didn't lose it, but got promoted and became rich." Seeing that her words were derogatory, Xia Er didn't say much, "Princess, how are you doing?"
If it doesn't matter, she shrugged her shoulders, "It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad." Ruojing got up and listened to the noise outside. She lowered her voice and asked, "Xiaer, who did you tell this time?"
Xia'er nodded quickly: "The lady's letter made it clear that I didn't tell the truth, so I told Dong'er to move the grave." Thinking of Dong'er's tragic death, Ruoyan's face was solemn, holding the handle of the chair tightly, showing her bones.
"She..." Xia'er couldn't wait to slap herself hard. Why didn't she open the pot and knelt on the ground. "Madam, don't worry, Dong'er's grave has moved to the Boshan Mountain in Linxian County. It's not long after you left."
"Oh!" Ruo Ying didn't ask much, took out a pair of round pearls, one of which was handed over to her. "Xia'er, what I want to say to you is very important. You must do what I said and remember nothing?"
Xia'er nodded, "Xia'er's good days were given by my wife, so my wife said that Xia'er will be foolproof, otherwise there will be no place to die."
I quickly reached out to cover her mouth. Ruoyu frowned and bowed her head to her side and said for a while. Xia'er's face changed three times, and it was better to shake and collapse on the ground. "Madam, are you playing with your life?"
"You just said it was possible?" If you are sitting and looking at her with no expression on your face, Xia'er seemed to give up. Her eyes turned red and nodded violently, "Please don't worry, princess. If you can't do it well, come to see someone."
"Ha ha, isn't it a headless ghost? If you want to scare me to death, you are also tired. Find an inn in Beijing to rest. I'll wait for your good news." Xia Er took the order and lowered her head and withdrew. Ruo Ying clenched the pearl in her hand and marked 'Ruo' on the one she had just given to her, and this one was 'ci'.
No matter how urgent the border gate is, although the veteran Xue Bing defeated countless enemies, after all, he was old and could not fight for a long time. During the war, there was more than half a month. The so-called million-strong army was defeated 50 miles in a row and returned to the city to escape. The wall is as solid as a rock, and it is wide enough for the carriage to turn freely. It can't be broken. The barbarians in the desert outside the city shouted and scolded the sky. Xue Bing, who was angry in less than two days, spit blood and fell ill on his bed.
Jinglong asked for an order to attack the north above the court. Although he was sought after by many ministers, the old emperor was reluctant to give up this grandson, and he was also the heir in the future. He hesitated several times, and the border gate was in a hurry again. Three days ago, the city gate was broken, and General Eagle in the desert forced General Xue to drink blood and kill himself.
The court was in an instantaneous turmoil, the minister whispered about the color change, and the emperor's face was calm and made the final decision. The left prime minister discussed the marriage again and pointed out that the third queen Jing Ning was the most suitable. The emperor was furious and walked away.
