Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber
Chapter 100 A False Alarm
Daiyu listened to Xinyue talking about the incident, her eyebrows furrowed more tightly, her body trembled slightly like a bamboo leaf in the wind, she was actually weaker than ever before, at this moment Xinyue began to regret that she should have told Daiyu on her own initiative.
It turned out that today Yifei and Shui Rong sent Meng's family out, and before going to the long pavilion by the forest outside the city, Shui Rong and Yifei felt that the breath was not right.The boundless blue sky seems to hide an undercurrent of the lake, and the woods rustle with the breeze, so quiet, as if there are some beasts dormant in the secluded woods.Shui Rong and Yifei raised their vigilance unknowingly, and quietly made a gesture to make the guards stand ready.
Sure enough, more than 30 masked men in white clothes sprang out of the woods before their formation was set up.Although it was an afternoon in June, the cold air emanating from those masked people still made people feel the chilly aura like nine secluded places.
Those people were obviously full-time killers, so they didn't say much, and directly came up to fight with Shui Rong and the others.Fu Guogong is a veteran in the battlefield, but he is good at horseback kungfu, and he is really not good at such light kung fu. Mrs. Meng Guogong is not good at kung fu, and Xinyue's kung fu can only be supported, plus a few who don't know martial arts The family members, suddenly the situation is a bit unfavorable to Shui Rong and others.Fortunately, Shui Rong and the others brought a lot of people, so they can support them for the time being.
Those masked men who have been fighting for a long time are also a little anxious, it will be difficult to deal with reinforcements after a while, so they changed their strategy, they mainly wanted to kill Yifei and Shui Rong today, but now they are mainly attacking the Meng family.Originally, killers also had their own professional norms, that is, they would not easily kill people who were not the target, but the current situation was obviously determined to win this line of work.
In the end, the dark guards also showed up when they saw something bad. Finally, Shui Rong and the others were more skilled than most of the assassins, and the rest committed suicide by taking poison.When everything calmed down, everyone realized that Shui Rong's face was wrong. He had been stabbed in the back with a long knife. He didn't want to distract everyone's hearts, so he kept stiffening. He didn't pass out until the assassins were all executed.
Xinyue couldn't leave naturally, so she hurriedly sent Shui Rong back to the palace. Xinyue thought that her cousin would definitely need Daiyu in front of her eyes, and seeing Shui Rong's terrifying appearance, she rushed in to find Daiyu.
Daiyu heard Xinyue's simple words, but she could imagine how thrilling the swords and swords were at that time. Hearing Xinyue's meaning, she didn't know how many injuries Shui Rong had suffered, and she was already burning with anxiety.
After entering the palace, Daiyu obviously found that her anger was different today. Although they still performed their duties, the anxiety on the faces of the servants was not fake.Daiyu saw that she looked haggard, and her heart sank to the bottom of the lake for a moment, she grabbed Mammy Yun and said, "Mom, what happened to Brother Rong?"
Sister Yun forced a smile, took Daiyu's hand lovingly and said softly: "Good princess, don't be afraid, the injury only looks scary, but it's actually not scary."
Dai Yufu's face was like snow, her eyelashes were full of tears, she looked like drops of dew and clear lotus, arousing pity, when she opened her mouth again, her voice had a strong nasal tone, and said: "Nurse, don't lie to me, I want to go personally have a look."
Sister Yun sighed and said, "The prince is in his own bedroom, so we don't want servants to go, only the princess, the imperial doctor and Master Lin are here."
Daiyu's brows were lightly drawn together, these words made no sense, how could Shui Rong not need servants to take care of her if she was injured, she couldn't let the Concubine Tai and others do everything by themselves.
Sister Yun and Xinyue saw Daiyu's dazed expression and felt anxious. Seeing that Daiyu's long eyebrows were almost intertwined, her eyes were slightly fixed with doubts, but they didn't dare to disturb her.After a while, Daiyu exhaled lightly, her expression calmed down slightly, her face was still pale, and she said softly, "Let me go and have a look."
As he spoke, he hurriedly walked to the water-soluble yard without anyone helping him.Xueyan waited to see her dress fluttering like a jade butterfly, graceful and light, and hurriedly chased after her for no reason.
The water-melting courtyard was quiet, and the servants were guarding at the gate far away, and when they saw Daiyu coming in, they all saluted, Daiyu was so upset at this moment, so she just waved her hand and came to the door for the first time.But there were two guards guarding the door, and when they saw Daiyu coming, they hurriedly saluted, "The princess is here."
Daiyu said, "I want to go in."
"Here," the two guards pondered a bit in embarrassment and said: "The princess wait a moment, let the subordinate report."
Daiyu stamped her feet slightly, and unconsciously pursed her lips.
After a while the guard came out and said, "Princess, please come in." He let Daiyu in but blocked everyone else from the door.Snow geese and others became more and more anxious, like ants on a hot pot, just circling around the door.
Daiyu walked all the way to the inside, but saw Shui Rong leaning on the bed, her face was a little pale but not haggard and tired, while the concubine, the king, and Yifei were sitting at the table talking, and another person who looked like an imperial doctor was writing on a piece of paper. wearing something.
Seeing Daiyu come in, Yifei smiled and said: "Sister came here so fast, but we have overlooked Princess Xinyue's hot temper."
At this time, the situation in the house was clear at a glance, Daiyu was as intelligent as a servant, she knew she had been deceived, she was a little embarrassed to see the smiling face of the Crown Prince and Concubine, so she hurriedly stepped forward to salute one by one before sitting down with a calm face.
Seeing his younger sister's anger, Yifei gritted his teeth at Shui Rong, rather gloating, and said, "Brother Rong, take good care of yourself."
The concubine also smiled and said: "Yes, otherwise, Yu'er's sincerity will be in vain."
After speaking, the few people escaped completely in an instant, leaving behind the angry Shui Rong and the ashamed and annoyed Daiyu.
The silence in the room made Shui Rong a little breathless, he looked at Daiyu anxiously, pondering over his words.But before he could speak, Daiyu said softly: "Brother Rong is really all right?"
Shui Rong never imagined that she would burst out such words first after she had been brewing for a long time. Seeing Daiyu's slightly dazed eyes, she couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, for she really frightened her.Busily got out of bed to hug Daiyu into her arms, and said softly: "Good Daier, I'm fine, really, look how warm my hands are."
Daiyu held Shui Rong's hand and listened to Shui Rong's strong heartbeat, and then she was completely relieved.The worry was gone, and the qi naturally returned immediately.Shocked by the current situation, Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed, she tried her best to break free from her embrace and sat far away, puffed her peach cheeks, raised her eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and stared with half-open eyes. , Qing Ling's voice also aroused Bo Bo's anger: "Brother Rong, why did you lie to others, and didn't let the servants serve you, which made me hurt me..."
Shui Rong rubbed his nose, looked at Daiyu's angry look and sighed softly, sat down beside Daiyu again, put Daiyu's little hand into his big palm and said: "Dai'er, don't be angry, I was going to tell you, who would have known that Unprepared, let Xinyue run away, this girl!"
Daiyu lost her anger and did not break free from Shui Rong's hand, muttering, "Don't change the subject."
Shui Rong was a little funny, and quickly straightened his expression and said: "Okay, Dai'er listen to me. Ever since King Zhongshun's son got a strange disease, King Zhongshun has been a little bit impatient. He is most angry because he knows Miaoyu is the most Suspected of poisoning, the emperor did not punish Miaoyu. He had only one son in his life. If Lu Jingyuan continued like this, he would have no successors. It was this fire that made him speed up the pace of rebellion. In recent months, he His subordinates are quite active in the capital, even the prince of Nan'an has been won over by him, and he has also been inserted into the army of the capital, in fact, this is easy to handle, but his eight hundred gold-armored soldiers have never been seen. That's a problem. Besides, Lu Haotian is cautious. Although he has frequent activities, he doesn't seem to act soon, so the emperor wants to add fire to him. What he is most wary of in the capital is me, the prince, and your brother, those civil and military He didn't pay much attention to Baiguan. Lu Haotian has been thinking about how to get rid of me, but I am always followed by people and I never go out of the downtown area, so he can't act openly."
"So you created this opportunity for him?" Daiyu asked back.
Shui Rong nodded with a smile: "No. It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Haotian would be willing to attack, and he would use up all the best killers under his command. After all, we have worked hard. But that's good, at least half of his masters have gone. I pretend You looked injured, that Xinyue came in without knowing it, she was the first one to think of saying hello to you, we were going to act like we were in a hurry, but we couldn't care less about this short-tempered little girl, and in the end I let you know. "
Daiyu snorted, curled her lips and said, "Then you don't tell me either."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Don't you know that too. We don't want you to be frightened either."
Daiyu said dissatisfied: "Yes, I didn't want to be frightened, but the result made me even more frightened." She took out her hand and beat Shui Rong's arm.
Shui Rong grinned, his face changed slightly, but he still raised his arms to comfort Daiyu.Daiyu didn't dare to move, and said anxiously, "What's the matter?"
Facing Shang Daiyu's concerned gaze, Shui Rong's heart was as warm as a spring sun, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not guarding against things, but I suffered some small injuries for the sake of being realistic, and the wounds are actually very shallow when they look like they're bleeding."
Daiyu's heart tightened, seeing Shui Rong's nonchalant expression made her angry and hurt, she said in a low voice, "Then why don't you hurry up and rest, it's just that you don't care about it."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Okay, Dai'er, don't be angry. I often bump into people when I practice martial arts. How can I be so fragile. Seeing you angry, I even forgot about this. As long as you say nothing, the injury will immediately It will be fine."
Daiyu laughed angrily, and said angrily: "When did you, the cold-faced prince in the eyes of outsiders, become so glib? It's really serious. What are you going to do next?"
Seeing that Daiyu didn't push her away, Shui Rong felt joyful, and said: "Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but I heard that Concubine Xiao is pregnant, and her fetal breathing is not stable. The emperor is going to escape the heat. It's just that I was injured. I can't go with you."
Daiyu was silent for a while and said: "It seems that you are going to create opportunities for King Zhongshun, but wouldn't it be more dangerous if the emperor went out?"
Shui Rong smiled and said: "It's okay, with the elite of the dark guards and the Yulin Army following, and the masters of Yulin Villa, nothing will happen. But the water in the capital will be deeper. Yu'er should go out of the capital with her."
Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'll be where you are. If you say you're confident, why should you be afraid? It's unreasonable for you to be 'ill' and I'd happily go away from the summer heat."
Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "That's fine, anyway, my palace is very safe. Don't tell Xinyue and the others about my fake injury. She has such a temperament that she can't show a sad look."
Daiyu couldn't help smiling when she thought about Xinyue's jumpy temper.
Soon everyone in the capital knew that the prince of Beijing Jing was assassinated and his life was dying, and everyone had all kinds of psychology.Lu Haotian already had a clue when the only killer who pretended to be dead and escaped reported it, but he lost almost half of the masters at once to win Shui Rong, which made him secretly startled by Shui Rong's strength, and he was glad that he had acted early to save him. This hidden danger.
I don’t know when there was a rumor in the capital that Prince Yizhong’s youngest son was still alive, and the common people just used it as a talking point. King Zhongshun originally hoped to make a fuss about Prince Yizhong’s affairs, but the people didn’t care about that, so he could only feel depressed. Fortunately, all the remnants of Prince Yizhong belonged to him, otherwise he would really regret that he had worked so hard to calculate Shui Qing.
Jia's mansion was really happy to learn that Shui Rong was assassinated, especially now that Jia's mother has completely torn off the disguise of charity. After hearing that, she was even happier than Mrs. Wang, and celebrated with a big feast. Now Jia's mansion is empty Kezi, the girls married one after another, and there was only a relative girl like Xiangyun left.Mother Jia couldn't help but feel very disappointed.Xiangyun felt very obedient, blindly flattering Mrs. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang without showing any thickness, and Mrs. Wang also liked it a little.Baoyu just sat and accompanied each other lightly, but his heart was also tormented, sad and anxious, but also had a trace of hope that he dared not admit.The water-soluble illness is serious, so does he still have a chance?Thinking about it made me feel ashamed.Seeing Baoyu's indifferent look, Jia's mother felt sad. She had fought for so long for Baoyu, but now Baoyu is so self-confident that she can't figure it out, let alone Baoyu has the disease of extinction.
After the banquet, Jia's mother called Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and said, "Now that Baoyu has changed, I'm even more worried. I think it's better to settle his marriage quickly, so that someone can persuade me."
Jia Zheng sighed: "Many people outside now know that Baoyu has the disease. How can anyone be willing to marry the girl. We can't hurt people like this."
Jia Mu sneered: "Could it be that Baoyu will be like this forever, there will always be a doctor who can cure it."
Jia Zheng said: "Could it be that mother already has a suitable candidate?" Mrs. Wang's heart moved, and she heard Jia's mother say: "I just like Yun girl. She was very straightforward and generous when she was a child. In recent years, she has become more and more stable with me. gone."
Mrs. Wang thought about it, and now she is afraid that Xiangyun still doesn't dislike Baoyu, so she said with a smile: "The old ancestors are not bad at treating people."
Jia Zheng said, "Now his uncle is still working abroad, let's mention it first."
Only then did Jia's mother satisfy her and said, "That's fine. I mean, as long as Yun girl nods, it will be easy. After all, her uncle is not her biological parents, and she will definitely follow her wishes. Let's bring it to them after Yun girl nods."
Jia Zheng frowned, how did this happen? If the girl had such thoughts, what would it be?But now Mother Jia couldn't tolerate other people's persuasion, so she nodded.
Jia's mother happily called Xiangyun, and asked privately, Xiangyun was really happy, but she didn't care whether Baoyu could have children, as long as she was with Baoyu.Jia Mu was so happy that she hugged Xiang Yun'er and screamed, it was absolutely necessary.
All of a sudden, almost everyone in the Jia family knew that Xiangyun would become Bao's second grandmother, even though they hadn't proposed marriage yet.The people in the mansion are respectful on the surface, but they are full of words in their hearts.When Baoyu heard this, he only snorted coldly, and continued to read his Buddhist scriptures.
Mrs. Wang was also happy at first, but after hearing the news that Prince Yizhong's youngest son was still alive, she couldn't help being frightened. Now that Keqing's "spirit" often comes to make trouble, she is tired of dealing with it, so how can she deal with such a person? Wei only hoped that the person would not know the real cause of Keqing's death.
On June [-]th, Emperor Shuiyan said that Concubine Xiao was pregnant, which was actually a happy event for the royal family. The empress was allowed to accompany Concubine Xiao to the Summer Resort to escape the summer heat.Originally, King Zhongshun was supposed to accompany him, but King Zhongshun asked for sick leave and recommended Prince Nan'an, so the emperor agreed.
A large net gradually opened in the capital.
Chapter [-]
The emperor went to escape the summer heat, and left the government affairs to the prince Shuizawa. King Zhongshun was secretly delighted, thinking that he had fooled the emperor by being careful in the past two years.
After going through several court meetings, all the ministers could not help admiring when they saw that although Mizusawa was young, he was decisive in dealing with affairs, and he was not inferior to the emperor at all.In particular, King Zhongshun was depressed, he didn't think that the prince who was so gentle and barely noticeable had such great ability, and he was really not at ease before.Fortunately, he thinks that his game will be completed, even if Mizusawa is capable, he will not be able to play for a few days.
On the surface, Shui Rong has been recuperating at home, and the entire Beijing Palace is in a gloomy state.Daiyu was also picked up by Concubine Beijing—naturally, this is not within the concern of outsiders.
That day Daiyu was taking a nap at noon, and all the maids had gone out, and the maids were also dozing off in the room.At this time, there was a soft sound from the Xianglian curtain, and the maids looked up and saw that it was Xueyan who came in humming, her little face was flushed, and her mouth was wheezing.The girls looked amused, Chunxian said quietly: "Where did you come back from?"
Xueyan made a gesture to tell Hongyan Yuehua and others to come out. Seeing her mysterious appearance, the girls were quite curious, but seeing that Daiyu hadn't woken up, they came out quietly.When they came to the outhouse, Chunxian waited and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xueyan lowered her voice as hard as she could, and said angrily, "Just now I went out for a walk and heard a few gossips, which made me mad."
Yuehua and others listened intently, Xueyan drank a sip of tea and said: "Many people on the street are talking about our girl, saying that our girl Kefu's life, she has only been engaged to her husband's family for less than half a year, and her fiancé is about to die."
"It's so unreasonable!" All the girls were filled with righteous indignation, Yuehua slapped the table with a palm, and said coldly: "There is such a thing." Lu Qing quickly caught her hand and said softly: "Keep your voice down, the girl is woken up .”
Yuehua said coldly: "You wait, I'll go check it out."
Lu Qing said: "Where do you go to find out, the sky is bright, do you know who it is?"
Yuehua smiled proudly and said: "It's hard to guess, the only one who pays attention to the girl is the Jia family again, didn't they hold a big banquet a few days ago to celebrate the prince's death, this time it must be their trick again pattern."
After saying that, the figure disappeared in a flash.Everyone was waiting in the outer room, even Hong Yan, who was so steady, was very angry.
After a while Daiyu woke up and Xueyan Chunxian hurried in to serve her. Daiyu stretched her waist and said, "What did you all go out for?"
How could Xueyan dare to dirty Daiyu's ears with those words, and said with a smile, "I'm just talking together, I'm afraid I'll disturb the girl. The girl slept a long time today."
Daiyu said with a smile: "This hot summer is very tiring, and it will happen before I know it."
Xueyan said: "Miss, let's go out for a walk. Although it's hot, it's not good to be so bored. The Yiyuan Garden has a lot of water and trees, so it's cool. Miss, go for a walk."
Daiyu nodded unconsciously when she saw the concerned eyes of the girls.Wenyi came to Yiyuan, and it was much cooler under the willow shade and osmanthus tree.Daiyu teased Ziyu for a while with the willow stick against the threshold, feeling her legs were sore, so she went to Qingyin Pavilion on the lake.When she just entered, she saw Shui Rong sitting there, Daiyu was overjoyed, Shui Rong had been pretending to be sick to make arrangements in secret and never showed up, but today she poured out, she couldn't help laughing: "Brother Rong is here, why don't you pay attention to it?" , now the whole house knows that you are recovering from illness."
Shui Rong didn't see Daiyu for a few days, but she also missed Daiyu, so she hurriedly got up and sat down with Daiyu's hand.Now Daiyu is getting more and more shy about being engaged, Duoshou came out and looked back to see that all the maids had already left, but Daiyu's face became more and more steamy.Shui Rong didn't take that much into account, he finally got a moment to see Daiyu, how could he let go.Pulling Daiyu's hand hard, she said with a smile: "It's okay, my concubine doesn't let other people come to the garden, I just have a little time to be quiet for a while, I don't want to meet you. Dai'er's complexion has gotten worse these days .”
Daiyu laughed angrily: "Why did you forget, I want to be 'sad', to deceive others you must first deceive yourself, this is due to Yuehua, I don't know what she painted on my face."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "I'm confused, even if I'm in the mansion, I'm also disguised, but today it's rare to show my true colors."
Daiyu said, "Exactly. I can't help you with what's going on outside now."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Yesterday I saw Taibaijin Xing which was extremely bright. The next day will be the day when the gate of hell will open, and there must be a group of demons dancing wildly."
Taibai Jinxing Lord kills, it seems that there will be a big move on July [-]th, Daiyu can't help but feel a little nervous, it is impossible to be perfect even in a meticulous plan, she frowned slightly, said "playing tricks" and said with a little worry: "Brother Rong and Brother should take good care of themselves, don't underestimate the enemy just because they are confident. Didn't they say that King Zhongshun had eight hundred soldiers in golden armor? Brother must be careful."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "We will do it ourselves, don't worry about Dai'er. Half of the [-] has been gone now, otherwise we would not dare to act rashly, otherwise the people in the city will also suffer."
Daiyu said: "It must be that King Zhongshun actually divided his army into two, and the half that went to chase and kill the emperor has already been punished. It seems that the emperor is no longer worried."
Shui Rong pinched Dai Yu's nose and said, "What a smart Dai'er."
Daiyu smiled triumphantly, and then said: "King Zhongshun consciously plans to be perfect, but he doesn't know that he is already besieged on all sides."
Shui Rong sighed: "A good man can help a lot, but a loser can't help. He never understood how he could succeed in fighting for his own selfish desire. He only thought that the emperor would relax his surveillance on him these years, but he didn't know that it was just a dream. He He also said that the emperor's summer vacation this time proves that he has been assured of him."
Shui Rong immediately talked about the past few days.
In mid-June, the emperor set off for Chengde to escape the summer heat. He only brought the empress and concubine Xiao with him, and then Prince Shui Song of Nan'an and his son Shui Mu.The Imperial Forest Army was conscientious all the way, and the prince of Nan'an was also "difficult" because he had already got involved with King Zhongshun, but this time his mission was to wait for an opportunity to kill the emperor and queen along the way.The reason why he finally fell from the wait-and-see state to King Zhongshun was that he was bewitched by his own son.His son Shui Mu is very conceited, King Zhongshun promised him half of the country, and he agreed in a flash of brains, and Shui Song saw that the deal was done, so he had to join Lu Haotian's camp.
The farther away he was from the capital, the more worried King Nan'an became. Although he was a general, he was used to enjoying the blessings these years. How could he really dare to rebel. The thought of murdering the king would bring a cold wind to his neck. Shui Mu looked down on Lao Tzu's virtue.He easily mastered half of the [-] dead men. Although he had to listen to the opinion of Lei Tai, the deputy commander of the dead men, it was enough for him to be complacent.He didn't bother to discuss with his father, and directly plotted secretly with Lei Taiji's leaders.These are already under the control of the emperor.
This day is almost to Chengde, and there is a place called Hulukou just in front of it. There is a ditch between two mountains, the front mouth is small, and the inside is big.Seeing that the emperor and queen's luanjia had entered the mouth of the gourd, Shui Mu smiled evilly and complacently. He waved a signal flare into the sky with Lei Tai, who was disguised as an imperial army, and at the same time waved his waist knife, and suddenly shouted: "Brothers, do it!" !"
Immediately, one or two hundred people from the surrounding Imperial Forest Army rushed out to fight with those real Imperial Forest Army.At the same time, the sound of fighting came from the other side of the far gourd mouth.I don't know if it's an illusion or what, but those real imperial guards didn't have the slightest resistance, and retreated angrily after a while.Shui Mu didn't doubt him, and happily urged his horse to chase Luanjia.Soon after arriving in front of the dragon chariot, Shui Mu laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite the Emperor to get off the chariot!!" He called three times, and the car was very quiet, and Lei Tai next to him also called out, but it was still silent. I saw Emperor Ming's car curtain embroidered with dragon patterns fluttering quietly in the wind.
Shui Song, who was following closely, felt his heart tense suddenly, and said: "No, it's a fraud, Mu'er retreat quickly!" He urged the horse to run back.
As soon as Shui Song finished speaking, there was a loud noise that soared into the sky, and the dragon chariot exploded with a bang, and everything within a radius of one zhang was instantly smashed to pieces.Shui Song was so excited by the heat wave that he fell off his horse and rolled a few times on the spot before stopping. Fortunately, he ran so fast that he was not injured. The bones of Lei Tai and the nearby golden-armored warriors have long since become indistinguishable.
"Mu'er!" Shui Song's eyes darkened, he almost fainted, he fell to his knees and beat the ground vigorously, crying bitterly.A few dead men in golden armor looked at King Nan'an, who was crying so hard that he didn't know his personnel, and looked at each other in blank dismay.One of them, Wei Wu, walked cautiously to the side of King Nan'an and said, "My lord, it seems that we have fallen for the trick, so let's withdraw first."
Shui Song raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and roared, "It's all you, if it wasn't for you, Mu'er would have rebelled and died!"
Seeing that King Nan'an was like a trapped beast, Wei Wu jumped in fright, quickly stepped back and said to the others: "Brothers, let's get out and inform the prince to find another way."
The people next to him said: "Then what about the King of Nan'an?"
Someone interjected: "It doesn't matter what he does, he is useless."
These dead soldiers were well-trained, but as soon as a consensus was reached, they immediately turned around and withdrew in an orderly manner.But they were not allowed to retreat again, only to hear the voices of people in Huluzui, and at the same time, drums were beating loudly on both sides of the mountain, and countless banners were erected in time, and countless imperial forest troops came out.
The faces of those dead soldiers immediately turned ashes, even though they all possessed unique skills, there is no use for them here and now.But they are all Lu Haotian's people, and they will not surrender, so they rush out desperately.
Shui Yan and others failed to persuade them to surrender, so they waved their hands to send rockets down.Suddenly the mouth of the gourd was in a mess.
About half an hour later, the fighting had ceased, the smoke in the mouth of the gourd was extinguished, and only the remnant smoke could be seen curling up.Shui Yan ordered a team of imperial guards to go down to clean up the battlefield.Soon someone came to report that 400 dead soldiers had been wiped out, and none survived; 5 people were killed and 20 were injured in the Imperial Forest Army.In addition, King Nan'an was hit by an arrow in his left leg, his left wrist bone was crushed by a horse and he passed out. Fortunately, he was still alive.Shuiyan was overjoyed, and ordered a generous burial for the soldiers who died, and ordered the injured to go down to recuperate. In addition, he took Nan'an Wang Shangshang to the Mountain Resort.
After hearing the story, Daiyu sighed and said: "Soldiers are really murderous weapons, but hundreds of people are wiped out in ashes with a wave of hands, and in the end whoever wants to be filled is finally filled!"
Shui Rong also sighed: "Although I haven't experienced it, I can understand the tragedy of that time. I heard that the land there was burnt a lot. However, most of the dead soldiers were born as orphans, and they were all loyal to King Zhongshun. If you survive, you will still be executed in the end, and the death of the Lord is considered a worthy death."
Daiyu was talking to Shui Rong here, Xueyan and the others were so witty that they slipped out quietly.When they left the garden, they waited for Daiyu in the small pavilion outside the garden while talking.Just as they were talking lively, Yuehua came back in a rage, sat on the stone bench and before she could speak, Xueyan said anxiously: "But are you asking?"
Yuehua sneered and said: "I'm really convinced by that mansion. Those tricks are getting worse and worse, almost like rogue children. Why do you think there are rumors about the girl? They are thinking that the prince is afraid now. If it is not possible, the emperor will definitely not let the girl be a widow, and then naturally she will have to point out another marriage for the girl, and they will first spread the reputation of the girl Kefu, then naturally no one will marry our girl, and then they will marry us. Appearing in a superior posture to take advantage of the fire."
Xue Yan immediately jumped up and shouted: "This is too shameless."
But Hongyan frowned and said: "Didn't they fix Shi Xiangyun, and dare to hit our girl's attention? They don't think that the princess will go to their house to be a child, right? Besides, what are they planning to do with the girl now?"
Yuehua said: "Then Shi Xiangyun was only mentioned verbally, after all, he hasn't been hired yet. The reason for seeking a girl is only for money and the girl's family business power. Hmph, then Shi Xiangyun is also stupid, thinking that he has obtained the imperial edict, really She regarded herself as the second grandmother of Bao, but she never thought that there was a bit of sincerity in it. She was blind to the calculations behind it, and she didn't know it at all. Well, I'm not salty to her, but now the Jia family's affairs are very interesting, everyone is self-righteous, but everything is not what they think."
Lu Qing smiled and said: "What's this' and that' matter? You said tongue twisters. We don't need to worry about this matter, anyway, it will be self-defeating when the time comes, so we should teach that family a lesson. Really think that our palace and princess palace are easy to bully."
Yuehua raised her eyebrows and said, "If you want to tell me, I would have done it long ago."
Xueyan hurriedly said: "What did you do?"
Yuehua shook her head triumphantly and said: "It's nothing, it's just a ghost. Mrs. Wang has been haunted by Keqing's ghost since the Chinese New Year. But I killed Aunt Zhao's mother and son again in the Buddhist hall. Today I got some gadgets in the Buddhist hall. Hehe, the whole house knew about it. I just used her to let the old lady Jia know what people were doing. God is watching."
Xueyan said angrily: "The more you can play tricks, what did you do?"
Yuehua smiled and said: "I have a little thing called 'Qingyan' here. If you sprinkle this thing on the fire, the fire will change color and grow long, just like ghost fire. I put the little thing in the Buddhist hall. It's all over the lamps."
Seeing Yuehua's narrow face, Xueyan and others couldn't help lamenting for Mrs. Wang. It's really not a big deal. It's really a "small punishment", but it could be fatal in the eyes of someone with a heart. There are ghost lights in the Buddhist hall, God, A few people had a cold war, it was really sinister enough, this Yuehua is absolutely not to be messed with!
Time is like fingertip sand, and it is July [-]th in a blink of an eye. The commonly known "Ghost Festival" is today.Today is the day of the great court, and all civil and military officials came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony early in the morning.After a while, Prince Mizusawa came in neatly dressed, with a solemn and majestic expression. After more than [-] days of court training, he had completely shed his gentle mask, showing the majesty of an emperor for the first time, which made people want to submit involuntarily. .Shui Ze walked slowly to his seat on the left side of the dragon chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "Is there anything Zhu Qing wants to play?"
The ministers below are busy talking about the things to be played.Mizusawa listened quietly and answered one by one.At the end, he looked around His Highness and frowned and said, "Why hasn't Prince Zhongshun arrived yet?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, only a few of King Zhongshun's cronies showed a smug look on their faces.Shui Ze said displeased: "Today is a great court, King Zhongshun is also a loyal minister and should set an example for all officials, but today is too much." All officials bowed their heads in silence.
Just at this time, I saw a Royal Forest Army rushing into the hall and knelt down far away, saying, "Prince, King Zhongshun, King Zhongshun is here."
Shui Ze said in a deep voice: "Since the prince is here, just invite him in, why are you so panicked, what's wrong with you!"
The Imperial Forest Army lowered its head and said: "Prince, King Zhongshun actually brought a man who was seriously injured to death behind him, and there were more than 200 golden armored warriors. I waited to step forward to question him, but the prince actually beheaded the man directly. Wait and see If it’s not good, I hurried in to report. Now the commander, Mr. Gu, is still stopping there.”
"What!" Shui Ze was furious, but all the officials below looked at each other and turned pale. Isn't it the same as conspiracy to kill the soldiers of the imperial forest army who were good at breaking into the Hall of Supreme Harmony?
Shui Ze sneered and said, "King Zhongshun is planning to rebel against you? Just let him in, and the Crown Prince wants to see what he wants to do!"
What?The officials were even more surprised, thinking that the prince must be stupid.A minister hurriedly came out and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, no, that King Zhongshun is obviously rebelling. How can the crown prince's body of a thousand pieces of gold be so close to the tiger and wolf? Let's mobilize more troops to resist."
Several other senior ministers also persuaded, Shui Ze said with a cold face: "You don't need to persuade, the prince is afraid that he will fail."
At this moment, another Imperial Forest Army came in and said, "His Royal Highness, King Zhongshun has already passed through the Meridian Gate, and while he was rushing in, he was yelling why he wanted to come in to arrest the rebel."
Mizusawa chuckled: "This is new, he is rebellious and he still said that, it's interesting. Chuan ordered the soldiers not to stop him, let him in."
The calves of the unreasonable ministers couldn't help but start to twist, and some began to regret that they didn't marry into the Zhongshun King's side. The prince was young and energetic and blindly confronted Zhongshun King. Wouldn't he suffer?But the loyal courtier was muttering that the rumors of King Zhongshun's rebellion had been spreading for a long time, and it was too arrogant to think that he would show up in such a careless way.
No matter how the courtiers guessed, they soon heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside.It was almost noon at this time, the sun shone in from the entrance of the main hall, and the ground was covered with golden light.In the golden light and shadow, the tall figure of King Zhongshun suddenly appeared, and he really had a somewhat mighty and extraordinary aura.
Shui Ze watched Lu Haotian and a group of warriors rushing in coldly, with a barely detectable smile on the corner of his mouth.I don't want King Zhongshun to actually adopt this most stupid way!
Chapter [-]
King Zhongshun wore a smug smile, but as soon as he entered the palace, he changed into a look of righteous indignation, and he didn't salute, just stood there with a grin, as arrogant as if the golden palace had already belonged to him.
Shui Ze said coldly: "Where did Prince Zhongshun sing in this battle today? He didn't even salute the prince when he entered the palace. In your eyes, there is still father and prince like me!"
King Zhongshun let out a "ha" in his nostrils, and said to Shui Ze with a smile that was not a smile: "Father? Your Highness the Crown Prince is still ashamed to call you the Emperor." He suddenly raised his eyebrows, opened his angry eyes, pointed at Shui Ze and cursed: "You How can this generation who killed the king and killed his mother, who is disloyal and unfilial, deserve to accept the gift from me, the king."
The ministers were in an uproar, killing the king and mother, what's going on, didn't the emperor go to escape the summer heat?
Mizusawa sneered and said, "The prince doesn't understand what the old prince said."
King Zhongshun sneered and said, "I don't understand, His Royal Highness is pretending to be confused. You took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor to leave Beijing for the summer vacation and secretly sent people to rob and kill the emperor. Now the emperor and queen have been secretly killed by you, and you still want to wait for it?" In a few days, it was announced that they had accidentally contracted an illness and died in the summer resort, so that he could ascend the throne in a logical way. It's a pity that you kept everything secret,
It turned out that today Yifei and Shui Rong sent Meng's family out, and before going to the long pavilion by the forest outside the city, Shui Rong and Yifei felt that the breath was not right.The boundless blue sky seems to hide an undercurrent of the lake, and the woods rustle with the breeze, so quiet, as if there are some beasts dormant in the secluded woods.Shui Rong and Yifei raised their vigilance unknowingly, and quietly made a gesture to make the guards stand ready.
Sure enough, more than 30 masked men in white clothes sprang out of the woods before their formation was set up.Although it was an afternoon in June, the cold air emanating from those masked people still made people feel the chilly aura like nine secluded places.
Those people were obviously full-time killers, so they didn't say much, and directly came up to fight with Shui Rong and the others.Fu Guogong is a veteran in the battlefield, but he is good at horseback kungfu, and he is really not good at such light kung fu. Mrs. Meng Guogong is not good at kung fu, and Xinyue's kung fu can only be supported, plus a few who don't know martial arts The family members, suddenly the situation is a bit unfavorable to Shui Rong and others.Fortunately, Shui Rong and the others brought a lot of people, so they can support them for the time being.
Those masked men who have been fighting for a long time are also a little anxious, it will be difficult to deal with reinforcements after a while, so they changed their strategy, they mainly wanted to kill Yifei and Shui Rong today, but now they are mainly attacking the Meng family.Originally, killers also had their own professional norms, that is, they would not easily kill people who were not the target, but the current situation was obviously determined to win this line of work.
In the end, the dark guards also showed up when they saw something bad. Finally, Shui Rong and the others were more skilled than most of the assassins, and the rest committed suicide by taking poison.When everything calmed down, everyone realized that Shui Rong's face was wrong. He had been stabbed in the back with a long knife. He didn't want to distract everyone's hearts, so he kept stiffening. He didn't pass out until the assassins were all executed.
Xinyue couldn't leave naturally, so she hurriedly sent Shui Rong back to the palace. Xinyue thought that her cousin would definitely need Daiyu in front of her eyes, and seeing Shui Rong's terrifying appearance, she rushed in to find Daiyu.
Daiyu heard Xinyue's simple words, but she could imagine how thrilling the swords and swords were at that time. Hearing Xinyue's meaning, she didn't know how many injuries Shui Rong had suffered, and she was already burning with anxiety.
After entering the palace, Daiyu obviously found that her anger was different today. Although they still performed their duties, the anxiety on the faces of the servants was not fake.Daiyu saw that she looked haggard, and her heart sank to the bottom of the lake for a moment, she grabbed Mammy Yun and said, "Mom, what happened to Brother Rong?"
Sister Yun forced a smile, took Daiyu's hand lovingly and said softly: "Good princess, don't be afraid, the injury only looks scary, but it's actually not scary."
Dai Yufu's face was like snow, her eyelashes were full of tears, she looked like drops of dew and clear lotus, arousing pity, when she opened her mouth again, her voice had a strong nasal tone, and said: "Nurse, don't lie to me, I want to go personally have a look."
Sister Yun sighed and said, "The prince is in his own bedroom, so we don't want servants to go, only the princess, the imperial doctor and Master Lin are here."
Daiyu's brows were lightly drawn together, these words made no sense, how could Shui Rong not need servants to take care of her if she was injured, she couldn't let the Concubine Tai and others do everything by themselves.
Sister Yun and Xinyue saw Daiyu's dazed expression and felt anxious. Seeing that Daiyu's long eyebrows were almost intertwined, her eyes were slightly fixed with doubts, but they didn't dare to disturb her.After a while, Daiyu exhaled lightly, her expression calmed down slightly, her face was still pale, and she said softly, "Let me go and have a look."
As he spoke, he hurriedly walked to the water-soluble yard without anyone helping him.Xueyan waited to see her dress fluttering like a jade butterfly, graceful and light, and hurriedly chased after her for no reason.
The water-melting courtyard was quiet, and the servants were guarding at the gate far away, and when they saw Daiyu coming in, they all saluted, Daiyu was so upset at this moment, so she just waved her hand and came to the door for the first time.But there were two guards guarding the door, and when they saw Daiyu coming, they hurriedly saluted, "The princess is here."
Daiyu said, "I want to go in."
"Here," the two guards pondered a bit in embarrassment and said: "The princess wait a moment, let the subordinate report."
Daiyu stamped her feet slightly, and unconsciously pursed her lips.
After a while the guard came out and said, "Princess, please come in." He let Daiyu in but blocked everyone else from the door.Snow geese and others became more and more anxious, like ants on a hot pot, just circling around the door.
Daiyu walked all the way to the inside, but saw Shui Rong leaning on the bed, her face was a little pale but not haggard and tired, while the concubine, the king, and Yifei were sitting at the table talking, and another person who looked like an imperial doctor was writing on a piece of paper. wearing something.
Seeing Daiyu come in, Yifei smiled and said: "Sister came here so fast, but we have overlooked Princess Xinyue's hot temper."
At this time, the situation in the house was clear at a glance, Daiyu was as intelligent as a servant, she knew she had been deceived, she was a little embarrassed to see the smiling face of the Crown Prince and Concubine, so she hurriedly stepped forward to salute one by one before sitting down with a calm face.
Seeing his younger sister's anger, Yifei gritted his teeth at Shui Rong, rather gloating, and said, "Brother Rong, take good care of yourself."
The concubine also smiled and said: "Yes, otherwise, Yu'er's sincerity will be in vain."
After speaking, the few people escaped completely in an instant, leaving behind the angry Shui Rong and the ashamed and annoyed Daiyu.
The silence in the room made Shui Rong a little breathless, he looked at Daiyu anxiously, pondering over his words.But before he could speak, Daiyu said softly: "Brother Rong is really all right?"
Shui Rong never imagined that she would burst out such words first after she had been brewing for a long time. Seeing Daiyu's slightly dazed eyes, she couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, for she really frightened her.Busily got out of bed to hug Daiyu into her arms, and said softly: "Good Daier, I'm fine, really, look how warm my hands are."
Daiyu held Shui Rong's hand and listened to Shui Rong's strong heartbeat, and then she was completely relieved.The worry was gone, and the qi naturally returned immediately.Shocked by the current situation, Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed, she tried her best to break free from her embrace and sat far away, puffed her peach cheeks, raised her eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and stared with half-open eyes. , Qing Ling's voice also aroused Bo Bo's anger: "Brother Rong, why did you lie to others, and didn't let the servants serve you, which made me hurt me..."
Shui Rong rubbed his nose, looked at Daiyu's angry look and sighed softly, sat down beside Daiyu again, put Daiyu's little hand into his big palm and said: "Dai'er, don't be angry, I was going to tell you, who would have known that Unprepared, let Xinyue run away, this girl!"
Daiyu lost her anger and did not break free from Shui Rong's hand, muttering, "Don't change the subject."
Shui Rong was a little funny, and quickly straightened his expression and said: "Okay, Dai'er listen to me. Ever since King Zhongshun's son got a strange disease, King Zhongshun has been a little bit impatient. He is most angry because he knows Miaoyu is the most Suspected of poisoning, the emperor did not punish Miaoyu. He had only one son in his life. If Lu Jingyuan continued like this, he would have no successors. It was this fire that made him speed up the pace of rebellion. In recent months, he His subordinates are quite active in the capital, even the prince of Nan'an has been won over by him, and he has also been inserted into the army of the capital, in fact, this is easy to handle, but his eight hundred gold-armored soldiers have never been seen. That's a problem. Besides, Lu Haotian is cautious. Although he has frequent activities, he doesn't seem to act soon, so the emperor wants to add fire to him. What he is most wary of in the capital is me, the prince, and your brother, those civil and military He didn't pay much attention to Baiguan. Lu Haotian has been thinking about how to get rid of me, but I am always followed by people and I never go out of the downtown area, so he can't act openly."
"So you created this opportunity for him?" Daiyu asked back.
Shui Rong nodded with a smile: "No. It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Haotian would be willing to attack, and he would use up all the best killers under his command. After all, we have worked hard. But that's good, at least half of his masters have gone. I pretend You looked injured, that Xinyue came in without knowing it, she was the first one to think of saying hello to you, we were going to act like we were in a hurry, but we couldn't care less about this short-tempered little girl, and in the end I let you know. "
Daiyu snorted, curled her lips and said, "Then you don't tell me either."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Don't you know that too. We don't want you to be frightened either."
Daiyu said dissatisfied: "Yes, I didn't want to be frightened, but the result made me even more frightened." She took out her hand and beat Shui Rong's arm.
Shui Rong grinned, his face changed slightly, but he still raised his arms to comfort Daiyu.Daiyu didn't dare to move, and said anxiously, "What's the matter?"
Facing Shang Daiyu's concerned gaze, Shui Rong's heart was as warm as a spring sun, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not guarding against things, but I suffered some small injuries for the sake of being realistic, and the wounds are actually very shallow when they look like they're bleeding."
Daiyu's heart tightened, seeing Shui Rong's nonchalant expression made her angry and hurt, she said in a low voice, "Then why don't you hurry up and rest, it's just that you don't care about it."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Okay, Dai'er, don't be angry. I often bump into people when I practice martial arts. How can I be so fragile. Seeing you angry, I even forgot about this. As long as you say nothing, the injury will immediately It will be fine."
Daiyu laughed angrily, and said angrily: "When did you, the cold-faced prince in the eyes of outsiders, become so glib? It's really serious. What are you going to do next?"
Seeing that Daiyu didn't push her away, Shui Rong felt joyful, and said: "Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but I heard that Concubine Xiao is pregnant, and her fetal breathing is not stable. The emperor is going to escape the heat. It's just that I was injured. I can't go with you."
Daiyu was silent for a while and said: "It seems that you are going to create opportunities for King Zhongshun, but wouldn't it be more dangerous if the emperor went out?"
Shui Rong smiled and said: "It's okay, with the elite of the dark guards and the Yulin Army following, and the masters of Yulin Villa, nothing will happen. But the water in the capital will be deeper. Yu'er should go out of the capital with her."
Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'll be where you are. If you say you're confident, why should you be afraid? It's unreasonable for you to be 'ill' and I'd happily go away from the summer heat."
Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "That's fine, anyway, my palace is very safe. Don't tell Xinyue and the others about my fake injury. She has such a temperament that she can't show a sad look."
Daiyu couldn't help smiling when she thought about Xinyue's jumpy temper.
Soon everyone in the capital knew that the prince of Beijing Jing was assassinated and his life was dying, and everyone had all kinds of psychology.Lu Haotian already had a clue when the only killer who pretended to be dead and escaped reported it, but he lost almost half of the masters at once to win Shui Rong, which made him secretly startled by Shui Rong's strength, and he was glad that he had acted early to save him. This hidden danger.
I don’t know when there was a rumor in the capital that Prince Yizhong’s youngest son was still alive, and the common people just used it as a talking point. King Zhongshun originally hoped to make a fuss about Prince Yizhong’s affairs, but the people didn’t care about that, so he could only feel depressed. Fortunately, all the remnants of Prince Yizhong belonged to him, otherwise he would really regret that he had worked so hard to calculate Shui Qing.
Jia's mansion was really happy to learn that Shui Rong was assassinated, especially now that Jia's mother has completely torn off the disguise of charity. After hearing that, she was even happier than Mrs. Wang, and celebrated with a big feast. Now Jia's mansion is empty Kezi, the girls married one after another, and there was only a relative girl like Xiangyun left.Mother Jia couldn't help but feel very disappointed.Xiangyun felt very obedient, blindly flattering Mrs. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang without showing any thickness, and Mrs. Wang also liked it a little.Baoyu just sat and accompanied each other lightly, but his heart was also tormented, sad and anxious, but also had a trace of hope that he dared not admit.The water-soluble illness is serious, so does he still have a chance?Thinking about it made me feel ashamed.Seeing Baoyu's indifferent look, Jia's mother felt sad. She had fought for so long for Baoyu, but now Baoyu is so self-confident that she can't figure it out, let alone Baoyu has the disease of extinction.
After the banquet, Jia's mother called Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and said, "Now that Baoyu has changed, I'm even more worried. I think it's better to settle his marriage quickly, so that someone can persuade me."
Jia Zheng sighed: "Many people outside now know that Baoyu has the disease. How can anyone be willing to marry the girl. We can't hurt people like this."
Jia Mu sneered: "Could it be that Baoyu will be like this forever, there will always be a doctor who can cure it."
Jia Zheng said: "Could it be that mother already has a suitable candidate?" Mrs. Wang's heart moved, and she heard Jia's mother say: "I just like Yun girl. She was very straightforward and generous when she was a child. In recent years, she has become more and more stable with me. gone."
Mrs. Wang thought about it, and now she is afraid that Xiangyun still doesn't dislike Baoyu, so she said with a smile: "The old ancestors are not bad at treating people."
Jia Zheng said, "Now his uncle is still working abroad, let's mention it first."
Only then did Jia's mother satisfy her and said, "That's fine. I mean, as long as Yun girl nods, it will be easy. After all, her uncle is not her biological parents, and she will definitely follow her wishes. Let's bring it to them after Yun girl nods."
Jia Zheng frowned, how did this happen? If the girl had such thoughts, what would it be?But now Mother Jia couldn't tolerate other people's persuasion, so she nodded.
Jia's mother happily called Xiangyun, and asked privately, Xiangyun was really happy, but she didn't care whether Baoyu could have children, as long as she was with Baoyu.Jia Mu was so happy that she hugged Xiang Yun'er and screamed, it was absolutely necessary.
All of a sudden, almost everyone in the Jia family knew that Xiangyun would become Bao's second grandmother, even though they hadn't proposed marriage yet.The people in the mansion are respectful on the surface, but they are full of words in their hearts.When Baoyu heard this, he only snorted coldly, and continued to read his Buddhist scriptures.
Mrs. Wang was also happy at first, but after hearing the news that Prince Yizhong's youngest son was still alive, she couldn't help being frightened. Now that Keqing's "spirit" often comes to make trouble, she is tired of dealing with it, so how can she deal with such a person? Wei only hoped that the person would not know the real cause of Keqing's death.
On June [-]th, Emperor Shuiyan said that Concubine Xiao was pregnant, which was actually a happy event for the royal family. The empress was allowed to accompany Concubine Xiao to the Summer Resort to escape the summer heat.Originally, King Zhongshun was supposed to accompany him, but King Zhongshun asked for sick leave and recommended Prince Nan'an, so the emperor agreed.
A large net gradually opened in the capital.
Chapter [-]
The emperor went to escape the summer heat, and left the government affairs to the prince Shuizawa. King Zhongshun was secretly delighted, thinking that he had fooled the emperor by being careful in the past two years.
After going through several court meetings, all the ministers could not help admiring when they saw that although Mizusawa was young, he was decisive in dealing with affairs, and he was not inferior to the emperor at all.In particular, King Zhongshun was depressed, he didn't think that the prince who was so gentle and barely noticeable had such great ability, and he was really not at ease before.Fortunately, he thinks that his game will be completed, even if Mizusawa is capable, he will not be able to play for a few days.
On the surface, Shui Rong has been recuperating at home, and the entire Beijing Palace is in a gloomy state.Daiyu was also picked up by Concubine Beijing—naturally, this is not within the concern of outsiders.
That day Daiyu was taking a nap at noon, and all the maids had gone out, and the maids were also dozing off in the room.At this time, there was a soft sound from the Xianglian curtain, and the maids looked up and saw that it was Xueyan who came in humming, her little face was flushed, and her mouth was wheezing.The girls looked amused, Chunxian said quietly: "Where did you come back from?"
Xueyan made a gesture to tell Hongyan Yuehua and others to come out. Seeing her mysterious appearance, the girls were quite curious, but seeing that Daiyu hadn't woken up, they came out quietly.When they came to the outhouse, Chunxian waited and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xueyan lowered her voice as hard as she could, and said angrily, "Just now I went out for a walk and heard a few gossips, which made me mad."
Yuehua and others listened intently, Xueyan drank a sip of tea and said: "Many people on the street are talking about our girl, saying that our girl Kefu's life, she has only been engaged to her husband's family for less than half a year, and her fiancé is about to die."
"It's so unreasonable!" All the girls were filled with righteous indignation, Yuehua slapped the table with a palm, and said coldly: "There is such a thing." Lu Qing quickly caught her hand and said softly: "Keep your voice down, the girl is woken up .”
Yuehua said coldly: "You wait, I'll go check it out."
Lu Qing said: "Where do you go to find out, the sky is bright, do you know who it is?"
Yuehua smiled proudly and said: "It's hard to guess, the only one who pays attention to the girl is the Jia family again, didn't they hold a big banquet a few days ago to celebrate the prince's death, this time it must be their trick again pattern."
After saying that, the figure disappeared in a flash.Everyone was waiting in the outer room, even Hong Yan, who was so steady, was very angry.
After a while Daiyu woke up and Xueyan Chunxian hurried in to serve her. Daiyu stretched her waist and said, "What did you all go out for?"
How could Xueyan dare to dirty Daiyu's ears with those words, and said with a smile, "I'm just talking together, I'm afraid I'll disturb the girl. The girl slept a long time today."
Daiyu said with a smile: "This hot summer is very tiring, and it will happen before I know it."
Xueyan said: "Miss, let's go out for a walk. Although it's hot, it's not good to be so bored. The Yiyuan Garden has a lot of water and trees, so it's cool. Miss, go for a walk."
Daiyu nodded unconsciously when she saw the concerned eyes of the girls.Wenyi came to Yiyuan, and it was much cooler under the willow shade and osmanthus tree.Daiyu teased Ziyu for a while with the willow stick against the threshold, feeling her legs were sore, so she went to Qingyin Pavilion on the lake.When she just entered, she saw Shui Rong sitting there, Daiyu was overjoyed, Shui Rong had been pretending to be sick to make arrangements in secret and never showed up, but today she poured out, she couldn't help laughing: "Brother Rong is here, why don't you pay attention to it?" , now the whole house knows that you are recovering from illness."
Shui Rong didn't see Daiyu for a few days, but she also missed Daiyu, so she hurriedly got up and sat down with Daiyu's hand.Now Daiyu is getting more and more shy about being engaged, Duoshou came out and looked back to see that all the maids had already left, but Daiyu's face became more and more steamy.Shui Rong didn't take that much into account, he finally got a moment to see Daiyu, how could he let go.Pulling Daiyu's hand hard, she said with a smile: "It's okay, my concubine doesn't let other people come to the garden, I just have a little time to be quiet for a while, I don't want to meet you. Dai'er's complexion has gotten worse these days .”
Daiyu laughed angrily: "Why did you forget, I want to be 'sad', to deceive others you must first deceive yourself, this is due to Yuehua, I don't know what she painted on my face."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "I'm confused, even if I'm in the mansion, I'm also disguised, but today it's rare to show my true colors."
Daiyu said, "Exactly. I can't help you with what's going on outside now."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Yesterday I saw Taibaijin Xing which was extremely bright. The next day will be the day when the gate of hell will open, and there must be a group of demons dancing wildly."
Taibai Jinxing Lord kills, it seems that there will be a big move on July [-]th, Daiyu can't help but feel a little nervous, it is impossible to be perfect even in a meticulous plan, she frowned slightly, said "playing tricks" and said with a little worry: "Brother Rong and Brother should take good care of themselves, don't underestimate the enemy just because they are confident. Didn't they say that King Zhongshun had eight hundred soldiers in golden armor? Brother must be careful."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "We will do it ourselves, don't worry about Dai'er. Half of the [-] has been gone now, otherwise we would not dare to act rashly, otherwise the people in the city will also suffer."
Daiyu said: "It must be that King Zhongshun actually divided his army into two, and the half that went to chase and kill the emperor has already been punished. It seems that the emperor is no longer worried."
Shui Rong pinched Dai Yu's nose and said, "What a smart Dai'er."
Daiyu smiled triumphantly, and then said: "King Zhongshun consciously plans to be perfect, but he doesn't know that he is already besieged on all sides."
Shui Rong sighed: "A good man can help a lot, but a loser can't help. He never understood how he could succeed in fighting for his own selfish desire. He only thought that the emperor would relax his surveillance on him these years, but he didn't know that it was just a dream. He He also said that the emperor's summer vacation this time proves that he has been assured of him."
Shui Rong immediately talked about the past few days.
In mid-June, the emperor set off for Chengde to escape the summer heat. He only brought the empress and concubine Xiao with him, and then Prince Shui Song of Nan'an and his son Shui Mu.The Imperial Forest Army was conscientious all the way, and the prince of Nan'an was also "difficult" because he had already got involved with King Zhongshun, but this time his mission was to wait for an opportunity to kill the emperor and queen along the way.The reason why he finally fell from the wait-and-see state to King Zhongshun was that he was bewitched by his own son.His son Shui Mu is very conceited, King Zhongshun promised him half of the country, and he agreed in a flash of brains, and Shui Song saw that the deal was done, so he had to join Lu Haotian's camp.
The farther away he was from the capital, the more worried King Nan'an became. Although he was a general, he was used to enjoying the blessings these years. How could he really dare to rebel. The thought of murdering the king would bring a cold wind to his neck. Shui Mu looked down on Lao Tzu's virtue.He easily mastered half of the [-] dead men. Although he had to listen to the opinion of Lei Tai, the deputy commander of the dead men, it was enough for him to be complacent.He didn't bother to discuss with his father, and directly plotted secretly with Lei Taiji's leaders.These are already under the control of the emperor.
This day is almost to Chengde, and there is a place called Hulukou just in front of it. There is a ditch between two mountains, the front mouth is small, and the inside is big.Seeing that the emperor and queen's luanjia had entered the mouth of the gourd, Shui Mu smiled evilly and complacently. He waved a signal flare into the sky with Lei Tai, who was disguised as an imperial army, and at the same time waved his waist knife, and suddenly shouted: "Brothers, do it!" !"
Immediately, one or two hundred people from the surrounding Imperial Forest Army rushed out to fight with those real Imperial Forest Army.At the same time, the sound of fighting came from the other side of the far gourd mouth.I don't know if it's an illusion or what, but those real imperial guards didn't have the slightest resistance, and retreated angrily after a while.Shui Mu didn't doubt him, and happily urged his horse to chase Luanjia.Soon after arriving in front of the dragon chariot, Shui Mu laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite the Emperor to get off the chariot!!" He called three times, and the car was very quiet, and Lei Tai next to him also called out, but it was still silent. I saw Emperor Ming's car curtain embroidered with dragon patterns fluttering quietly in the wind.
Shui Song, who was following closely, felt his heart tense suddenly, and said: "No, it's a fraud, Mu'er retreat quickly!" He urged the horse to run back.
As soon as Shui Song finished speaking, there was a loud noise that soared into the sky, and the dragon chariot exploded with a bang, and everything within a radius of one zhang was instantly smashed to pieces.Shui Song was so excited by the heat wave that he fell off his horse and rolled a few times on the spot before stopping. Fortunately, he ran so fast that he was not injured. The bones of Lei Tai and the nearby golden-armored warriors have long since become indistinguishable.
"Mu'er!" Shui Song's eyes darkened, he almost fainted, he fell to his knees and beat the ground vigorously, crying bitterly.A few dead men in golden armor looked at King Nan'an, who was crying so hard that he didn't know his personnel, and looked at each other in blank dismay.One of them, Wei Wu, walked cautiously to the side of King Nan'an and said, "My lord, it seems that we have fallen for the trick, so let's withdraw first."
Shui Song raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and roared, "It's all you, if it wasn't for you, Mu'er would have rebelled and died!"
Seeing that King Nan'an was like a trapped beast, Wei Wu jumped in fright, quickly stepped back and said to the others: "Brothers, let's get out and inform the prince to find another way."
The people next to him said: "Then what about the King of Nan'an?"
Someone interjected: "It doesn't matter what he does, he is useless."
These dead soldiers were well-trained, but as soon as a consensus was reached, they immediately turned around and withdrew in an orderly manner.But they were not allowed to retreat again, only to hear the voices of people in Huluzui, and at the same time, drums were beating loudly on both sides of the mountain, and countless banners were erected in time, and countless imperial forest troops came out.
The faces of those dead soldiers immediately turned ashes, even though they all possessed unique skills, there is no use for them here and now.But they are all Lu Haotian's people, and they will not surrender, so they rush out desperately.
Shui Yan and others failed to persuade them to surrender, so they waved their hands to send rockets down.Suddenly the mouth of the gourd was in a mess.
About half an hour later, the fighting had ceased, the smoke in the mouth of the gourd was extinguished, and only the remnant smoke could be seen curling up.Shui Yan ordered a team of imperial guards to go down to clean up the battlefield.Soon someone came to report that 400 dead soldiers had been wiped out, and none survived; 5 people were killed and 20 were injured in the Imperial Forest Army.In addition, King Nan'an was hit by an arrow in his left leg, his left wrist bone was crushed by a horse and he passed out. Fortunately, he was still alive.Shuiyan was overjoyed, and ordered a generous burial for the soldiers who died, and ordered the injured to go down to recuperate. In addition, he took Nan'an Wang Shangshang to the Mountain Resort.
After hearing the story, Daiyu sighed and said: "Soldiers are really murderous weapons, but hundreds of people are wiped out in ashes with a wave of hands, and in the end whoever wants to be filled is finally filled!"
Shui Rong also sighed: "Although I haven't experienced it, I can understand the tragedy of that time. I heard that the land there was burnt a lot. However, most of the dead soldiers were born as orphans, and they were all loyal to King Zhongshun. If you survive, you will still be executed in the end, and the death of the Lord is considered a worthy death."
Daiyu was talking to Shui Rong here, Xueyan and the others were so witty that they slipped out quietly.When they left the garden, they waited for Daiyu in the small pavilion outside the garden while talking.Just as they were talking lively, Yuehua came back in a rage, sat on the stone bench and before she could speak, Xueyan said anxiously: "But are you asking?"
Yuehua sneered and said: "I'm really convinced by that mansion. Those tricks are getting worse and worse, almost like rogue children. Why do you think there are rumors about the girl? They are thinking that the prince is afraid now. If it is not possible, the emperor will definitely not let the girl be a widow, and then naturally she will have to point out another marriage for the girl, and they will first spread the reputation of the girl Kefu, then naturally no one will marry our girl, and then they will marry us. Appearing in a superior posture to take advantage of the fire."
Xue Yan immediately jumped up and shouted: "This is too shameless."
But Hongyan frowned and said: "Didn't they fix Shi Xiangyun, and dare to hit our girl's attention? They don't think that the princess will go to their house to be a child, right? Besides, what are they planning to do with the girl now?"
Yuehua said: "Then Shi Xiangyun was only mentioned verbally, after all, he hasn't been hired yet. The reason for seeking a girl is only for money and the girl's family business power. Hmph, then Shi Xiangyun is also stupid, thinking that he has obtained the imperial edict, really She regarded herself as the second grandmother of Bao, but she never thought that there was a bit of sincerity in it. She was blind to the calculations behind it, and she didn't know it at all. Well, I'm not salty to her, but now the Jia family's affairs are very interesting, everyone is self-righteous, but everything is not what they think."
Lu Qing smiled and said: "What's this' and that' matter? You said tongue twisters. We don't need to worry about this matter, anyway, it will be self-defeating when the time comes, so we should teach that family a lesson. Really think that our palace and princess palace are easy to bully."
Yuehua raised her eyebrows and said, "If you want to tell me, I would have done it long ago."
Xueyan hurriedly said: "What did you do?"
Yuehua shook her head triumphantly and said: "It's nothing, it's just a ghost. Mrs. Wang has been haunted by Keqing's ghost since the Chinese New Year. But I killed Aunt Zhao's mother and son again in the Buddhist hall. Today I got some gadgets in the Buddhist hall. Hehe, the whole house knew about it. I just used her to let the old lady Jia know what people were doing. God is watching."
Xueyan said angrily: "The more you can play tricks, what did you do?"
Yuehua smiled and said: "I have a little thing called 'Qingyan' here. If you sprinkle this thing on the fire, the fire will change color and grow long, just like ghost fire. I put the little thing in the Buddhist hall. It's all over the lamps."
Seeing Yuehua's narrow face, Xueyan and others couldn't help lamenting for Mrs. Wang. It's really not a big deal. It's really a "small punishment", but it could be fatal in the eyes of someone with a heart. There are ghost lights in the Buddhist hall, God, A few people had a cold war, it was really sinister enough, this Yuehua is absolutely not to be messed with!
Time is like fingertip sand, and it is July [-]th in a blink of an eye. The commonly known "Ghost Festival" is today.Today is the day of the great court, and all civil and military officials came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony early in the morning.After a while, Prince Mizusawa came in neatly dressed, with a solemn and majestic expression. After more than [-] days of court training, he had completely shed his gentle mask, showing the majesty of an emperor for the first time, which made people want to submit involuntarily. .Shui Ze walked slowly to his seat on the left side of the dragon chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "Is there anything Zhu Qing wants to play?"
The ministers below are busy talking about the things to be played.Mizusawa listened quietly and answered one by one.At the end, he looked around His Highness and frowned and said, "Why hasn't Prince Zhongshun arrived yet?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, only a few of King Zhongshun's cronies showed a smug look on their faces.Shui Ze said displeased: "Today is a great court, King Zhongshun is also a loyal minister and should set an example for all officials, but today is too much." All officials bowed their heads in silence.
Just at this time, I saw a Royal Forest Army rushing into the hall and knelt down far away, saying, "Prince, King Zhongshun, King Zhongshun is here."
Shui Ze said in a deep voice: "Since the prince is here, just invite him in, why are you so panicked, what's wrong with you!"
The Imperial Forest Army lowered its head and said: "Prince, King Zhongshun actually brought a man who was seriously injured to death behind him, and there were more than 200 golden armored warriors. I waited to step forward to question him, but the prince actually beheaded the man directly. Wait and see If it’s not good, I hurried in to report. Now the commander, Mr. Gu, is still stopping there.”
"What!" Shui Ze was furious, but all the officials below looked at each other and turned pale. Isn't it the same as conspiracy to kill the soldiers of the imperial forest army who were good at breaking into the Hall of Supreme Harmony?
Shui Ze sneered and said, "King Zhongshun is planning to rebel against you? Just let him in, and the Crown Prince wants to see what he wants to do!"
What?The officials were even more surprised, thinking that the prince must be stupid.A minister hurriedly came out and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, no, that King Zhongshun is obviously rebelling. How can the crown prince's body of a thousand pieces of gold be so close to the tiger and wolf? Let's mobilize more troops to resist."
Several other senior ministers also persuaded, Shui Ze said with a cold face: "You don't need to persuade, the prince is afraid that he will fail."
At this moment, another Imperial Forest Army came in and said, "His Royal Highness, King Zhongshun has already passed through the Meridian Gate, and while he was rushing in, he was yelling why he wanted to come in to arrest the rebel."
Mizusawa chuckled: "This is new, he is rebellious and he still said that, it's interesting. Chuan ordered the soldiers not to stop him, let him in."
The calves of the unreasonable ministers couldn't help but start to twist, and some began to regret that they didn't marry into the Zhongshun King's side. The prince was young and energetic and blindly confronted Zhongshun King. Wouldn't he suffer?But the loyal courtier was muttering that the rumors of King Zhongshun's rebellion had been spreading for a long time, and it was too arrogant to think that he would show up in such a careless way.
No matter how the courtiers guessed, they soon heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside.It was almost noon at this time, the sun shone in from the entrance of the main hall, and the ground was covered with golden light.In the golden light and shadow, the tall figure of King Zhongshun suddenly appeared, and he really had a somewhat mighty and extraordinary aura.
Shui Ze watched Lu Haotian and a group of warriors rushing in coldly, with a barely detectable smile on the corner of his mouth.I don't want King Zhongshun to actually adopt this most stupid way!
Chapter [-]
King Zhongshun wore a smug smile, but as soon as he entered the palace, he changed into a look of righteous indignation, and he didn't salute, just stood there with a grin, as arrogant as if the golden palace had already belonged to him.
Shui Ze said coldly: "Where did Prince Zhongshun sing in this battle today? He didn't even salute the prince when he entered the palace. In your eyes, there is still father and prince like me!"
King Zhongshun let out a "ha" in his nostrils, and said to Shui Ze with a smile that was not a smile: "Father? Your Highness the Crown Prince is still ashamed to call you the Emperor." He suddenly raised his eyebrows, opened his angry eyes, pointed at Shui Ze and cursed: "You How can this generation who killed the king and killed his mother, who is disloyal and unfilial, deserve to accept the gift from me, the king."
The ministers were in an uproar, killing the king and mother, what's going on, didn't the emperor go to escape the summer heat?
Mizusawa sneered and said, "The prince doesn't understand what the old prince said."
King Zhongshun sneered and said, "I don't understand, His Royal Highness is pretending to be confused. You took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor to leave Beijing for the summer vacation and secretly sent people to rob and kill the emperor. Now the emperor and queen have been secretly killed by you, and you still want to wait for it?" In a few days, it was announced that they had accidentally contracted an illness and died in the summer resort, so that he could ascend the throne in a logical way. It's a pity that you kept everything secret,
