Marry the right man on the wrong sedan chair

In the evening, Chu Shang came and greeted Zhuang Guangyuan, and then said to Zhuang Han, "This person has seen it too, should you feel relieved?"

Zhuang Han glanced at him and said, "Can I live in Zhuang's mansion before the wedding?"

Hearing his words, Chu Shang was startled, looked at Zhuang Han, Zhuang Han said indifferently, "I already told you, since I'm going to marry you, it's somewhat inappropriate to live with you... So, I want to live here for the rest of the day, understand?"

After Zhuang Han said this, he looked at Chu Shang with twinkling eyes, seeing that Chu Shang's heart trembled, and wanted to agree, but he was a little entangled. To be honest, he was happy because of Zhuang Han's compromise, but he was afraid of him Don't be suspicious.

Zhuang Han seemed to see his worries, looked at him eagerly and said, "If you don't want to, I'll go back with you."

Seeing this, Chu Shang's heart trembled even more, and then he said unnaturally, "You are right, then I will listen to you."

Zhuang Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. In this way, he can avoid Chu Shang's constant surveillance and secretly investigate where the magic sound curse came from and how to break it; secondly, he can secretly inquire about the dynamics of the court. , to disclose to Wu Wenxuan anytime and anywhere.

Before Chu Shang left, he ordered a few servant girls and eunuchs to take care of Zhuang Han, and even sent two guards specially to protect his personal safety.

Zhuang Han listened and said thank you for accepting these.

Chu Shang nodded to Zhuang Han in satisfaction, and then left the Zhuang mansion.After he left, Zhuang Han looked at the maid and guard beside him, thought for a while, and ordered, "I'm tired and want to rest, you go and wait outside, it's fine for Xiao Anzi to stay here alone with me .”

A servant girl said, "Miss, your lord has said that we serve you better than others."

Hearing this, Zhuang Han raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really?"

The maid lowered her head, "Yes."

Zhuang Han looked at her, smiled and said nothing.

The servant girl was horrified, and didn't dare to say a word for a long time. Finally, she was frightened by Zhuang Han's aura, and whispered, "Miss, rest, let's go out."

Zhuang Han hummed lightly.

When Chu Shang's people went out, Zhuang Han fell into deep thought, and whispered to Qi'an for a while, "Xiao Anzi, I'm afraid you will have to run a lot of errands in the next few days. If these people from Chu Shang say anything unpleasant , don’t take it to heart, remember, talk less and pay more attention.”

"Master, Xiao Anzi knows." Qi'an whispered, "You agreed to Chu Shang with humiliation, not only to be the prince's eyeliner, but the slave should do his best to serve you and the prince."

Zhuang Han nodded in satisfaction.

After many days of careful investigation, Zhuang Han was surprised to find that this Ling Kong master turned out to be Wu Wenxuan's uncle. He fell in love with a man back then, and the first emperor found out that the man was ordered to die. He became a monk; but it is rumored that he lives in seclusion in the temple and does not care about world affairs, and has long been far away from all kinds of disputes.Then what family did this magic sound spell come from?And who taught Chu Shang?

And in the investigation of the past few days, Chu Shang actually knew martial arts. It stands to reason that he has been bedridden all year round, so he probably didn't know much about martial arts, or he just didn't know much about martial arts, but he was wearing black clothes that day. Masked sneaking into the Chu Mansion to test, Chu Shang actually fought with him, and his swordsmanship was not inferior to his own.

And after a few tricks, he found that his internal strength seemed to be superior to his own. Could it be that he has been deliberately hiding it all this time?He is not sick at all?Or... I don't know... But what is his purpose?

Zhuang Han doesn't know about these things for the time being. What is certain is that if he wants to find out where Chu Shang's weaknesses and martial arts come from, he must first start with Ling Kong.

……

"My lord." The voice of praying for blessings sounded outside the tent, and then opened the curtain to enter the tent, and presented Zhuang Han's flying pigeon letter.

Wu Wenxuan opened the letter, read the contents of the letter, smiled slightly, and put the letter away.

Blessing asked in a soft voice, "My lord, does the princess have good news?"

Wu Wenxuan nodded, "Your good concubine has found a very important person." After a pause, he ordered, "Xiaofu, call Qilu and Qishou."

"Yes, my lord."

Qilu and Qishou entered the tent and hurriedly saluted. Wu Wenxuan sat on the chair and glanced at the two of them, "What's the matter? Seeing this king's face so ugly? Could it be because of what happened last time that this king was born?" angry?"

After hearing these words, the two hurriedly bowed and knelt down to plead guilty. Wu Wenxuan snorted softly, and said lazily, "Okay, stop kowtowing, I call you here today, and I will give you two a chance to make up for your mistakes. It's a good job. The king will not blame the past, if things go wrong again, you all understand my king's temper."

Qilu and Qishou saluted and thanked each other, but they both hesitated, and then Qilu stepped forward and said, "If you have any orders from the lord, just say, the servants will definitely do their best."

"Find someone for me, Master Lingkong of Faling Temple, no matter what, I must find him and bring him to me to see me."

"Yes, my lord." The two of them saluted and then both stepped back.

After a while, Wu Wenxuan ordered to pray for blessings and waited. He leaned on the seat, closed his eyes and pressed his hands on his temples, rubbing them gently. After a while, he relaxed his eyebrows.

After thinking about it, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Zhuang Han.

When Zhuang Han received the letter, the corners of his mouth twitched. The first part of the letter was to wish him to be careful in everything, and the second part was to express his longing for himself. Although it was a little numb, but thinking that it was Wu Wenxuan's true feelings, he felt inexplicable pleasure.

After destroying the letter, he left the room, and now everyone in the Zhuang family listens to him.Compared with the past, it was a world of difference, but Zhuang Han couldn't be happy at all, he knew very well who got his status in the Zhuang Mansion now.However, this also has the advantage of avoiding any disputes with the aunt.

After walking a few steps in Zhuang's mansion, he walked around and went to the place where his mother lived. During these days, he would always sit here for a while.

"Master." Qi'an entered the door and saluted.

Zhuang Han came back to his senses and raised his head, "What's the matter?"

"Guess who came to see you?" Qi An asked with a smile.

Zhuang Han frowned slightly, "Who came to see me?"

"It's the Seventh Prince."

As soon as the words came out, Zhuang Han was startled, so he got up and went to the lobby. When he saw Wu Wenxing, his eyes felt wet, and he quickly called softly, "Seventh brother."

Wu Wenxing was startled, and then he rushed straight to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law."

"Long time no see, how is seventh brother?" Zhuang Han looked at him up and down and asked with concern.

Wu Wenxing nodded heavily, "Sister-in-law, don't read, Brother Xing is fine."

Zhuang Han took a look, and then asked all the waiters to leave. He and Wu Wenxing sat together drinking tea and chatting.

Wu Wenxing looked at Zhuang Han and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you wearing women's clothes again?"

After hearing what he said, Zhuang Han smiled faintly, looked at him and said, "The entire Zhuang family doesn't know that I'm a man, so I can't take off this female attire for the time being."

Hearing this, Wu Wenxing was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why don't you know? Aren't you the daughter of the Zhuang Mansion?" Suddenly he realized something, and hurriedly said, "Yes, you have always been called daughter Miss... so, sister-in-law, you..." Wu Wenxing turned pale with shock, "Have you been raised as a woman all this time?"

Zhuang Han nodded and said lightly, "Yes, if not, I wouldn't be treated as a woman, put on a wedding dress, and marry your third brother."

Hearing this, Wu Wenxing looked at Zhuang Han in surprise, driven by curiosity, he asked, "Why? Why do you want to hide your identity as a man and pretend to be a woman? Also, since you are married to my third brother , why do you want to marry someone surnamed Chu now? Sister-in-law, you are empathizing.

Wu Wenxing wrinkled his small face and thought hard, trying to figure out what words to use to describe his sister-in-law; Zhuang Han looked at him, lowered his head and gave a wry smile, and then said in a deep voice, "The people who served just now were all chosen by Chu Shang. , you speak so loudly, but you want them to hear you?"

Hearing this, Wu Wenxing quickly became serious, and looked at Zhuang Han in a daze, Zhuang Han nodded and said in a low voice, "There are so many people in this mansion now, besides Xiao Anzi, I have no one I can trust; just talking about Chu Shang is not easy. , Even the few people he sent were not simple. They obviously served me, but they kept their eyes wide open in secret, watching my every move. Every word and deed of mine, they would report to Chu Shang on time every day. "

After Wu Wenxing heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "This Chu Shang is too hateful. If my elder brother didn't obey him now, I really want to beat him up hard."

Zhuang Han smiled, "You..." Then he sighed, "You are still young, so you have to be careful and don't say anything, so as not to cause any trouble."

"It's not too young, I'm already sixteen, and I'll be able to marry a wife in two years."

Zhuang Han smiled.

Wu Wenxing sat there, glanced at him, and asked cautiously, "How is Xiao Yuyu recently? Does sister-in-law know about him?"

Zhuang Han shook his head, lowered his eyes and frowned and said, "Since I escaped from your mansion that day, we separated on the way and haven't been in touch until now. I don't know if Brother Xiao is safe, let alone where he is now .”

"Ah?" Wu Wenxing was startled, "Then dare to ask my sister-in-law, when you separated, what did he say?"

"I only know that he will go to the Green Willow Villa, but Brother Xiao often wanders around here and there, and there is no certainty. I don't know if he is still in the Green Willow Villa."

"Sister-in-law, where is the Green Willow Villa?" Wu Wenxing asked hastily.

"At Hangzhou."

"Oh." Wu Wenxing said silently several times in his heart.

Zhuang Han saw that he cared about Xiao Yu, but hadn't mentioned much about Wu Wenxuan, the third brother, so he couldn't help asking, "Seventh Brother, you really care about Brother Xiao."

"Huh?" Wu Wenxing looked a little nervous, "That's right, I think he's boring, and it's very interesting to tease him."

After hearing this, Zhuang Han smiled faintly, thought for a while, and then asked, "In the past, you have already asked your third brother, but today you don't mention him much. I don't know why? Can you tell me."

Wu Wenxing didn't want to say it at first, but he thought about it again. Since he knew that his third brother had rebelled, he had been depressed for many days. Today, his sister-in-law came, so why not tell him to relieve his depression?So, he muttered, "The third brother conspired against us and intends to usurp the throne. I don't want to mention him." After that, he took a careful look at Zhuang Han, "As the saying goes, if a man does something, he will not do something. I can’t do it, and they are born from the same root, so why rush each other; I’m too disappointed in the third brother.”

When he said "seeking power and usurping the throne", Zhuang Han couldn't express the feeling in his heart. No matter what the purpose of Wu Wenxuan was, this was indeed seeking power and usurping the throne, and he did not slander him.

Whether the current emperor is fatuous and tyrannical or unpopular, it still depends on the choices of the people in this world. The so-called water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.In less than a year, Brother Wu was able to control all places in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are so many soldiers serving, presumably when Emperor Yonglong was alive, he had secretly recruited troops to win people's hearts.

It seems that Brother Wu still has a lot that he doesn't know.

But right now, even if he knew that what he did was wrong, he couldn't ignore it, otherwise, he was afraid that Brother Wu would end up fighting with his brothers.

Zhuang Han breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wu Wenxing and said, "Seventh brother, are you blaming your third brother?"

Wu Wenxing glanced at him, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare, I'm just disappointed. If he really succeeds in seeking power and usurping the throne in the future, I will have to call him emperor, so how dare I complain."

Hearing this, Zhuang Han was taken aback, frowned, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Wu Wenxing didn't speak, both of them were silent for a long time, Wu Wenxing looked at Zhuang Han sadly, and said, "Sister-in-law, my father's country, we brothers, as long as we can manage this country well, In fact, it doesn't matter who should be, but since the royal father's biography belongs to the eldest brother, yes, I admit that the eldest brother is not as capable as the third brother, but can the third brother be a powerful minister and help the eldest brother govern the country? I often think, if the father I know, now that they are facing each other with swords and swords, I am afraid they will die of grief." After speaking, Wu Wenxing's eyes were wet.

In fact, what he said is correct, but the key is, is the current emperor willing to give Wu Wenxuan the opportunity to be a minister of power?And Wu Wenxuan is willing to be a courtier in the court?

Zhuang Han comforted Wu Wenxing, and said, "Seventh brother, don't be so sad. In fact, your third brother also has difficulties. Thinking about your father's imperial edict, he was extremely chilled, and your elder brother didn't care about siblings." keep..."

"Could this be the reason for the third brother to seek power and usurp the throne?" Wu Wenxing interrupted.Zhuang Han was at a loss for words, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, then raised his head and said, "Seventh brother said yes, but now that the arrow is on the line, it is impossible to stop. Could it be that you really want to see your third brother defeated and become a prisoner?"

Wu Wenxing was at a loss for words, frowned, and whispered, "I don't want to see it, but I also don't want to see my elder brother become a prisoner, and I don't want to see them kill each other."

Zhuang Han sighed, "Seventh Brother, things are out of our control now, I just hope they can care about brotherhood in the end, let alone your third brother, I don't think he will be so ruthless yes, right?"

After hearing this, Wu Wenxing felt that it made sense, so he nodded weakly.

Zhuang Han smiled slightly, and changed the subject, "It's almost time for lunch, how about staying here after lunch?"

Wu Wenxing hummed, and then said, "Not only for lunch, but also for dinner with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law doesn't know, but I am alone every day, which is really boring. The mother and concubine are not around, and you and the third brother are also not here, which is even more boring." gone."

Hearing this, Zhuang Han's heart suddenly ached.At such a young age, my parents should love me and my brothers love me, but because I was born in the royal family, I live this kind of lonely life. Although I am rich, there is no joy to speak of.

Zhuang Han also really likes Wu Wenxing, and complied with his request, only two of them shared lunch and dinner, and went out with him to play, which not only made Wu Wenxing happy, but also made Wu Wenxing happy when he was bored for many days. The child was also relieved.

When Wu Wenxing was about to leave, Zhuang Han stopped him and said seriously, "Seventh brother, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Sister-in-law, please speak."

Zhuang Han glanced at him and said, "It's convenient for you to enter the palace, and you often have contact with the emperor. I think, please compare the recent attitude of the courtiers towards your third brother's uprising with the emperor..."

"Sister-in-law!" Before Zhuang Han finished speaking, Wu Wenxing interrupted him and shouted, his face also changed.

Zhuang Han hurriedly said, "I have no other intentions."

Wu Wenxing said, "Sister-in-law wants me to help, as long as I can do it, I will do my best, but this matter, sister-in-law, are you asking me to be the third brother's spy? I can't do it, the only thing I can do is to protect us brotherhood."

Wu Wenxing's answer is also correct. After thinking about it, Zhuang Han said, "I was reckless, and I hope the seventh brother is not to be blamed." He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I still want you to check someone, but you must The secret investigation should not make a single mistake, and the most reliable person should be found to investigate, from his childhood to the present, he must be thoroughly investigated, and he will let me know as soon as there is any news."

"I don't know who my sister-in-law asked me to check?" Wu Wenxing looked at Zhuang Han and asked.

"Chu Shang." Zhuang Han whispered, "I always feel that this person is very strange, but I can't tell what is strange. In short, you must remember, Seventh Brother, and you must investigate clearly. This matter is of great importance. It can be said that it may be related to your royal family..."

After saying these words, Wu Wenxing was horrified, Zhuang Han nodded heavily at him, and said, "Seventh brother, now in this capital, you are the only one I can trust."

Wu Wenxing bit his lower lip, nodded in response, and then promised, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely investigate him and find out." Isn't there any other purpose?"

Zhuang Han looked at him and said, "Sorry I can't tell you for now."

Wu Wenxing was startled, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Zhuang Han lowered his eyes, "I will not harm anyone else, but," paused, "I will never allow anyone to harm your third brother and put him in danger."

After hearing this, Wu Wenxing looked at Zhuang Han, his expression softened, and he hesitated, "Sister-in-law, I understand, but I hope you can protect yourself and don't put yourself in danger."

"That's natural." Zhuang Han looked at him and said, "Thank you, seventh brother."

Before leaving, Wu Wenxing turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will betray you and third brother?"

After hearing his words, Zhuang Han was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "I believe you."

These words moved Wu Wenxing's heart, then he nodded with a smile, hummed, and left the Zhuang Mansion.

Looking at Wu Wenxing's carriage going away, Zhuang Han thought to himself, "Seventh Brother, I hope I didn't believe you wrongly."
