“Ladies, don’t panic, this little girl is young and doesn’t know what’s going on, maybe she’s mistaken.” The Duke of Lu’s wife was born in a famous family, and this is her only son’s full moon banquet, and there is Xiao Emerald present, so this matter is not trivial, so the Duke of Lu’s wife decided that this is someone who deliberately disagrees with her, so she sent a child to mess up.
The ladies didn’t take it seriously, after all, Jiu Zhu was just a small doll less than half a person tall, and her words were not enough to be believed.
“Quickly go find this girl’s family.” Duke Lu’s wife barked at the little maid behind her, who immediately nodded and quickly retreated.
“Little girl, do you know who the one sitting up there is, this is not a place for you to fool around, minding your young age, you’d better leave here.”
The Duke of Lu’s wife looked at Jiu Zhu with a stern face, determined that Jiu Zhu was just fooling around.
Jiu Zhu looked around and saw all the ladies holding their tea cups and about to drink tea, stomped her foot and shouted, “Be careful of the poison!”
This voice is really not light, scared one of the women’s hands shake, the hands of the white jade tealight fell directly from the hands, shattered into several pieces.
“This child…” the lady who broke the teacup’s face changed slightly, and looked at Jiu Zhu with annoyance and helplessness, “What’s wrong with this child, who is the girl of the house?
The accusatory words were understood by Jiu Zhu, and she held her mouth in aggression.
“Your name is Jiu Zhu?” Xiao Emergence looked at Jiu Zhu, who immediately nodded at Xiao Emergence, who beckoned her hand.
“Your Majesty, don’t, this child is very naughty, how can it be good if she rushes against Your Majesty.” But Xiao Emer smiled, “I don’t think the little girl is lying, the child has a good heart, there are many people today, it’s possible that there is a momentary negligence, it’s possible that someone has a bad intention.”
“You are willing to believe my words?” Jiu Zhu was a little surprised.
Xiao Emerald waved at Jiu Zhu, the pink carved little girl is very happy, “believe it or not by the doctor to check to know, but how do you know this tea is poisonous?”
“My master taught me.” Jiu Zhu looked proud.
“Then your master is also here?” Xiao Emerald’s voice softened a trifle and lowered her voice to ask.
Jiu Zhu shook her head.
“Since your master also did not come, how can you be sure that this tea is poisonous, looking at your age, you are only four or five years old, you can’t even know all the words, how can you know so much, little girl, did someone teach you to say that?” If it were not for the presence of so many ladies, Lady Lu would have asked a clear question and spoiled everyone’s good mood for nothing.
Jiu Zhu’s face turned red, suddenly remembering Zhao Cheng Jue’s instructions not to let anyone know that she could understand the words of small animals, Jiu Zhu was depressed.
“Little girl, I’ll let the maid lead you to the Thousand Feather Courtyard to play, there are many other little girls there, go play.”
Duke Lu’s wife squinted at the maid behind her, the maid tugged Jiu Zhu’s hand and was about to go out, but Jiu Zhu looked at Xiao Emerald.
“What I said is all true.”
Xiao Emer’s jaw lifted, “Let her go.”
The maid immediately let go of her hand, Jiu Zhu ran forward and lowered her voice and said in Xiao Emer’s ear, “I followed the master to the mountains to collect medicine, I dug the cold star grass, it is really a poisonous thing.”
Xiao Emerald laughed lightly and looked at Lady Lu, “It’s not too late to wait for the Imperial Doctor to come before making a decision.”
With Xiao Emer’s words, Mrs. Lu had to comply, not long after the doctor came, it happens to be the same doctor Zhong who came to the banquet today, doctor Zhong took the white jade tealight that Xiao Emer had just picked up and examined it for a while, Jiu Zhu immediately said, “There is cold star grass in it, cold star grass was ground into powder and added to the tea, it tastes as astringent as tea and turns purplish red when it meets white vinegar. “
Before the Lady of Lu had time to ask the maid to prepare the white vinegar, she heard Dr. Zhong look at Jiu Zhu in surprise and say, “Not bad, there is indeed cold star grass here.”
“Doctor Zhong?” Lady Lu’s face changed slightly, this is not a joke.
“There is also a purple jasmine plant in the courtyard at the entrance that is very similar to peony, drinking the tea of cold star grass and smelling the fragrance of purple jasmine is highly poisonous.” Jiu Zhu pointed to the flower bed behind Dr. Zhong.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“What the little girl said is exactly right.” The doctor nodded and looked at JiuZhu with amazement, knowing so much at such a young age.
“It’s really poisonous!” The faces of all the ladies changed.
“This…” Lady Lu immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Emer, “Your majesty is clear, it’s definitely not someone from the Duke of Lu who wants to harm Your majesty, this matter will definitely be traced clearly.”
Xiao Emer’s face was tense and she did not say a word.
“Jiu Zhu, you’re amazing.” Zhao Xijue looked at Jiu Zhu with admiration.
Jiu Zhu hummed.
“Your Majesty, how did this little girl know so well, it couldn’t be that someone deliberately taught her behind the scenes, could it?”
After all, the first one to find out was Jiu Zhu, so the crowd directed their suspicion at Jiu Zhu, a child dared to barge into the hall alone, with suspicious traits and too much guts.
“Your Majesty, could this be a trap?”
There were many different opinions, and Jiu Zhu became the target of all.
“Then tell me why a child would want to harm this palace and then come to remind this palace without regard to the rules?” Xiao Emerald’s expression was slightly cold.
A single sentence left the crowd speechless, and soon another person spoke up, “Perhaps… perhaps it is because of this that we can win the favor of the Queen and make up a good show of our own.”
The crowd really couldn’t understand how Jiu Zhu, a tiny child, could appear so coincidentally.
“Madam Liu, Jiu Zhu is an honored guest of the Crown Prince’s residence, what is the use of a four year old child gaining favor?”
The voice of Zhao Chengjue came from outside the door, only to see Zhao Chengjue’s five-clawed golden python suit lined with a warm and jade-like face, adding a touch of charm and rigor, and when he came closer, the coldness deep in Zhao Chengjue’s eyes forced people not to dare to raise their eyes.
“Your Highness…” Jiu Zhu rushed forward and tugged on Zhao Chengjue’s clothes.
Zhao Chengjue reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s little head, his expression suddenly softened three points, his gaze looked at Xiao Emerald, “My son pays his respects to Mother, Jiu Zhu is the pupil of one of my old friends, my old friend is a medical doctor, Jiu Zhu has learned a lot from childhood, although he does not know many words, he is proficient in all kinds of medicinal materials, Jiu Zhu is temporarily living in the house, waiting for his old friend’s return to take Jiu Zhu away. Today, I also brought Jiu Zhu with me, thinking that I could find a playmate for the many guests of the State Duke’s house, but I didn’t expect such an incident to happen.”
Zhao Chengjue was still a bit uncomfortable when it came to picking her up, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Xiao Emergence smiled, “So that’s how it is.”
With Zhao Chengjue’s words, the ladies no longer dared to accuse Jiu Zhu of suspicion, but Zhao Chengjue still refused to rest, “Doctor Tai, give the ladies’ tealights a test as well.”
“Yes.”
Soon after Dr. Zhong checked the tea, he said there was no poison, Zhao Chengjue sighed, “This is strange, what kind of person is targeting the Queen Mother, but let all the ladies present, how dare they!”
Several ladies looked at each other, how did this sound a bit wrong, what do you mean spared the ladies present, did they do something wrong.
“Your Highness, several ladies did not mean to make things difficult for Miss Jiu-zhu, but before I did not know the identity of Miss Jiu-zhu, I have offended, I hope Your Highness will calm down.” Where can the State Duchess Lu not hear that Zhao Chengjue is not satisfied with the several ladies present and just now blamed Jiu Zhu.
“Lady Lu, today the mother came to your house almost poisoned, if not for Jiu Zhu’s resourcefulness, the consequences would have been unthinkable, how can I take my anger off?” Zhao Chengjue’s face sank, very unhappy looking at Lady Lu.
Your Highness is right, this matter must be investigated clearly, but this matter is definitely not the work of the Duke of Lu’s house, it must be exploited by someone…”
“She, she also has a very strong purple jasmine fragrance.” Jiu Zhu tugged at Zhao Cheng Jue’s sleeve and reached out to point at Cui’er.
Cui’er was frightened, her body went limp and she knelt down directly on the ground, “Your Majesty, understand, ah, slave servant really doesn’t know why purple jasmine, and how could she smear the poison on her body.”
“If you do not touch the wound, the aroma of purple jasmine will not hurt your body for a while.” Jiu Zhu said, “I met Zhao Jue when he was asking for water in the tea room and was brought here by her aroma.”
As soon as Zhao Si Jue heard his name, he immediately nodded at Zhao Cheng Jue, “Yes, yes, I can testify on Jiu Zhu’s behalf.”
Cui’er’s small face was pale, now it was impossible to explain with ten mouths.
“Then why didn’t you stop it in advance, if you had come a step later, the Queen almost drank the tea…” the Duke of Lu’s wife asked questioningly, that attitude was obviously suspicious of Jiu Zhu’s purpose.
“I thought someone had mixed up the cold star grass, I followed it all the way over here before I saw the purple jasmine in the courtyard, I…I didn’t think that much about it.” Jiuzhu scratched his head, Jiuzhu at first did not smell the aroma of purple jasmine, and then listened to the butterfly, only to be sure.
“Check it out, start with this little maid.” Xiao Emerald looked askance at Lady Lu and beckoned to Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Cheng Jue, who nodded before Jiu Zhu stepped forward, Xiao Emerald took Jiu Zhu into her arms, “Good child, no matter what, you saved the palace once today, don’t worry about what others say, you just be yourself.”
Nine beads squinted and smiled, she liked the beautiful mother in front of her, “Yes.”
The empress of the day was nearly poisoned, the atmosphere of the Lu State Gong Mansion became gloomy all of a sudden, Cui’er was taken away by two guards, and even the Jingzhao Yin came.
The wife of the Duke of Lu felt the pressure and the feeling in her heart could be imagined, she could not wait to find out the person behind it and skin him.
After an hour, Xiao Emer’s eyes were half squinting with one hand propped on the table, Jiu Zhu was sitting obediently beside Xiao Emer, Xiao Emer smiled faintly at Jiu Zhu from time to time, no one in the room was talking, the silence was terrible.
The whole Lu Gongfu was guarded, every person who touched the white jade tealight was taken away for examination, especially the maids in the courtyard of Lu Gongfu’s wife, none of them were spared, Lu Gongfu’s wife’s face was very ugly, according to this investigation, nine times out of ten, it was the people in Lu Gongfu who were responsible.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Xiao Emergy changed her posture. These days, I don’t know what’s wrong with her, but she is very sleepy, her nose suddenly smelled an aroma, Xiao Emergy opened her eyes, only to see Jiu Zhu pulling out a small purse from her bosom.
The aroma of sour plums came to her nose. Jiu Zhu was eating aromatically, and when she turned her head to look at Xiao Emer, she generously picked up a grain and handed it to Xiao Emer, “Nah, this is the plums I picked with my own hands and made the preserves.”
Xiao Emer smiled lightly, but did not refuse, took the small candied fruit into her mouth, the sour taste immediately suppressed the tumbling in her stomach, the two people above you one and I one, unknowingly, Jiu Zhu poured the small purse, “No more.”
Xiao Emerald reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s little head, “Thank you for entertaining this palace, back if you have nothing to do, you can go to the palace to play, the palace still has a lot of food, replace this palace to entertain you.”
Jiu Zhu nodded, “But I can only go during the day, I have to come back at dark.”
“According to you.”
Xiao Emerald although angry, but did not put this matter on the heart, as if just now in the life and death of a circle is not her but the next person, the more contact with Jiu Zhu, the more like this little girl.
Zhao Chengjue lowered his head eyes swept through the color of doting.
“Eldest brother…” Zhao Xi Jue quietly approached Zhao Cheng Jue and lowered his voice, “Can I… can I go to the prince’s residence for a few days?”
Zhao Chengjue glanced at Zhao Xijue and saw that his gaze kept looking at Jiu Zhu, his brow furrowed slightly and he refused in a very firm manner, “No!”
“Eldest Imperial Brother!” Zhao Jue deflated his mouth, his face aggrieved, why could the eldest brother take Jiu Zhu to play, but not himself?
Eccentric!
“I’ll test you on an essay later, if you answer well, come, if not, give up this idea before it’s too late.” Zhao Chengjue pretended to be soft-hearted.
Zhao Si Jue first hesitated, then nodded, “Good.”
“A man’s word is his bond, and only you and I will know about it, so don’t tell anyone else.” Zhao Chengjue then immediately added that Zhao Jijue had not yet reacted, but Zhao Tingjue on the side gave Zhao Jijue a wink, and Zhao Jijue only nodded.
The fact that Zhao Cheng Jue was allowed to take the essay test was nine times out of ten, and Zhao Cheng Jue meant that Zhao Xi Jue was forbidden to pamper Xiao Emer and used some method to get to the prince’s house, despicable!
In the twinkling of an eye, another half an hour had passed, and Xiao Emerg could not sit still any longer, her little mouth was tasteless, but she was patient.
“The eldest son of Aunt Lu is 15 years old this year and has passed the examination. The first time I saw you, I was so upset that I took the opportunity to embarrass you, and the antidote for the purple jasmine and cold star grass was already in the melon and fruit.
Qing Yu came forward to reply, Xiao Emerald nodded and squinted at the State Duchess Lu.
“Niang niang…” The State Duke’s wife just thought for half a day, Zijiao was transplanted yesterday, there was no one else except the people around the Great Aunt Lu, the State Duke’s wife had the heart to kill the Great Aunt Lu, this bitch who didn’t know how to live and die, the face of the State Duke’s House of Lu was disgraced.
“Where is Great Aunt Lu?” Xiao Emer asked.
“She is tied up by the servant girl and is waiting outside.” Qing Yu finished speaking and quickly brought in Great Aunt Lu, who was already draped in hair, her small face full of fear, and she kowtowed to Great Aunt Lu as soon as she entered.
“Your Majesty, it is because the servant girl was confused and lost her mind that she did this, please be merciful.” The first aunt is also the sister of the first wife and the concubine.
“Bitch, how dare you! How dare you plot against the Empress!” Without saying a word, the Duke of Lu’s wife raised her hand and slapped Great Aunt Lu fiercely, quickly and viciously, directly knocking her to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
“The first time I saw the girl, I was very happy to see her.
“Your Majesty, it is my wife’s incompetence in teaching, almost let Your Majesty suffer, please Your Majesty severe punishment.”
If it was not for Jiu Zhu, the girl who stopped her in time, if Xiao Emer really drank that cup of tea and something happened to her, then the entire Lu Gongfu would have to bury Xiao Emer, neither the Northern Red Emperor nor the Crown Prince would definitely not spare the Lu Gongfu.
Lu Guoguang’s wife took a deep breath, her back was moistened with a layer of clinging to her body.
“I beg your Majesty to give sin!”
The Duke of Lu quickly arrived and without saying a word, he knelt on the ground, banging his head at Xiao Emerald.
“Your Highness…save the servant girl.” Aunt Lu reached out and pulled the sleeve of Duke Lu’s coat, wanting to say something, and her eyes were tearful.
At this time, the Duke of Lu still dared to plead for Aunt Lu’s mercy and swept Aunt Lu aside with his hand.
“Bitch, who gave you the courage to dare to assassinate the Queen, are you crazy?” The Duke of Lu had the heart to strangle Great Aunt Lu to death.
Great Aunt Lu shivered, this matter has been revealed, this consequence is definitely not for Great Aunt Lu to bear.
Xiao Emerald slanted his eyes at Duke Lu, “Is it true that Duke Lu promised this aunt that he would give the title to the eldest son of the concubine?”
Lu Guoguang lowered his head and nodded, “The eldest son is intelligent and polite, at first I did think so, but then the wife gave birth to the first son, so I lost the thought.”
“But the eldest son of the concubine has just passed the examination this year, and the wife was pregnant in September last year, how did Duke Lu know that he would not have a first son, but promised to do so?” Xiao Emerald disliked people who did not distinguish between the first and second sons, and this Duke Lu was obviously a sophistry.
“This…” Duke Lu froze, not daring to meet Xiao Emer’s expression.
The wife of the Duke of Lu had a disappointed face and lowered her head and did not look at the Duke of Lu, and the couple seemed to be separated from each other.
Xiao Emerald jaw raised and looked at the weeping Aunt Lu, “The palace is curious about one thing, you have poisoned, why did you smear the antidote in the melon and fruit, what is the intention, if the palace has any shortcomings, it must be investigated to the end, if it is found out will not implicate the entire State Gong House, why did you do so?”
Aunt Lu was too vain to raise her eyes to meet Xiao Emer’s eyes, stammering and unable to say a word, Zhao Chengjue immediately said, “If you don’t tell the truth, all your children will be guilty of death, none of them can escape.”
“Your Highness, please don’t bother with my aunt, she really doesn’t mean it, she’s just angry, and she’s worried about being found out after doing these things.”
The woman’s face inherited eight percent of Aunt Lu’s charm, and she looked at Zhao Chengjue with big, innocent eyes that made people want to protect her.
“Qian Qian, why are you here, go back!” Great Aunt Lu’s face changed slightly and pulled Lu Qianqian.
“Auntie, it is clear that father promised you that the position of the son of big brother would be granted to you, and that you would be granted the position of equal wife.
“Bastard!” The state duke glared at Lu Qianqian when he heard the words, he wanted to tear Lu Qianqian’s mouth off, this is obviously deliberately harming himself, something that does not know how to live and die!
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
“Qian Qian, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was aunt’s idea alone.” The first aunt Lu looked at Xiao Emerald, “I did it because I was lucky, after all, it was in the Duke’s house, if the Queen made any mistakes, the lady would be the first to be blamed, only then would my son have a chance to inherit the Duke’s house, only afterwards I regretted it… I beg the Queen to only punish the servant girl severely. This matter has nothing to do with the State Duke’s Mansion.”
The Duke of Lu’s wife was gloomy and did not speak.
“Your majesty, this matter is her work alone, even if I lend my servant a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to do anything to you.”
The Duke of Lu immediately cried out injustice.
Xiao Emerald rubbed the tip of her eyebrows and looked unhappily at Duke Lu, who was instantly wilted by this look from Xiao Emerald.
“I heard that the Duke of Lu favors this aunt, a small aunt has the ability to play the game in the mother’s courtyard, so it is clear that she has some ability.” Xiao Emerald languidly propped one hand on his jaw, his slow and leisurely tone into the ears but carries weight, so that people dare not underestimate.
“I am ashamed of myself.” Lu Guogong immediately admitted his mistake, compared to plotting against the empress of the dynasty, of course the crime of spoiling a concubine and destroying her wife is a little less serious.
Xiao Emer immediately looked at Great Aunt Lu in disbelief, “There is only one first son in the Duke of Lu’s house, if there is no youngest son, wouldn’t Great Aunt Lu be able to cover the sky with one hand, status, identity, why would she go through all the trouble to plot against this palace?”
Xiao Emergence’s eyes looked at Lu Qian Qian, who was looking at Zhao Chengjue with her eyes downcast, and Lu Qian Qian’s eyes were glowing with the adoration of a young daughter.
The first time I heard Xiao Emer’s words, my heart stirred and I immediately lowered my head and didn’t dare to make any more movements.
The first aunt Lu also choked, thought for half a day but did not know how to answer this, thought for a while before returning, “back to your mother’s words, servant girl… servant girl can not bear to hurt an innocent child.”
None of the ladies present believed this, the women in the harem, especially the conflicting wives and concubines, all hated each other to death, killing without blood, how could they be soft-hearted and merciful.
Xiao Emerald clasped one hand on the table and tapped slowly, not anxious at all, and asked, “I heard that Miss Lu knows some medical skills, is this true?”
The purpose of this game is to get Lu Qian Qian into Xiao Emer’s eyes, the man is unmarried, the woman is not married, Lu Qian Qian is in her prime, especially when she was looking at Zhao Cheng Jue, she was probably thinking of Zhao Cheng Jue!
This stupid bitch! The Duke of Lu’s wife instantly understood the cause and effect, and was so angry that her liver hurt.
Lu Qian Qian’s face was pale, “Your Majesty…”
“Miss Lu, you must think carefully before answering this matter, deceiving this palace is a big crime, this palace will ask people to pull out your tongue!”
Xiao Emergent’s coquettish words caused the crowd to stir, Lu Qianqian’s body went soft, some panic, eyes looked at Zhao Chengjue, “My daughter…my daughter does know a little bit about medicine, just not superb.”
“Then where did this Purple Jasmine and Cold Star Grass come from? Miss Lu doesn’t look like she doesn’t know anything about it.” Xiao Emerg slowly stood up, still holding Jiu Zhu in her hand, the room was too stuffy to stay in, and Xiao Emerg had no patience.
“Your Majesty, my daughter has been wronged…” Lu Qianqian was so scared that she kowtowed to Xiao Emer.
Xiao Emer was leading Jiu Zhu towards the door, and did not censure a single word about this matter, her careless attitude was as if she forgave Lu Guogongfu.
“Your Highness, my daughter is really wronged.” Lu Qian Qian saw the situation and went directly to beg Zhao Cheng Jue, Zhao Cheng Jue saw Jiu Zhu walking away and gave a wink to the guards.
“Drag her down and beat her until she confesses!”
If you don’t confess, you will be beaten to death.
Lu Qian Qian couldn’t believe her ears, did Zhao Cheng Jue have no mercy at all? Soon two guards dragged Lu Qian Qian, not giving Lu Qian Qian a chance to beg for mercy.
The Duke of Lu’s face turned pale with fear.
Zhao Chengjue sighed long and hard, if not for the old Duke’s enlightenment, Zhao Chengjue would not have killed Lu on the spot.
“Drag this woman down as well!”
Zhao Chengjue pointed at Aunt Lu, who fainted when she heard these words, and it was clear to everyone that Aunt Lu’s mother and daughter were upset about Zhao Chengjue, so they used Xiao Emerald as a raft to poison her, and put on a show of their own.
Zhao Chengjue flung his sleeves and lifted his feet to leave, but Lu Guoguang was so scared that he couldn’t even stand up, he only had one thought in his heart, “It’s over, it’s over.
Xiao Emerald walked to the door, a long sigh of relief, finally more comfortable.
“Is Your Majesty not feeling well, should we ask the doctor to take a look?” Qing Yu immediately asked.
Xiao Emerg was hesitant, but could not resist Qing Yu, so she nodded her head, and soon Dr. Zhong came forward to take Xiao Emerg’s pulse.
Xiao Emerg froze, this surprise came somewhat suddenly.
“Congratulations, Your Highness.” Qing Yu said happy.
Jiu Zhu also smiled at Xiao Emer, “Congratulations, Your Highness.”
Xiao Emergence bowed her head and touched Jiu Zhu’s little head, “Jiu Zhu, thanks to you today, do you want any reward?”
Jiu Zhu shook her head, the prince’s residence has everything and there is no shortage of anything.
“This palace wants to recognize you as a righteous daughter and make you a princess, okay?” Xiao Emer’s good mood followed, and the more she looked at Jiu Zhu, the happier she became.
To have such a promise from Xiao Emer is what many people can only dream of.
“Mother, Jiu Zhu is still young, so it is not appropriate to give her too much honor, and this is also a good thing to do by mistake.
Zhao Chengjue heard these words from afar, and stepped forward to reject the matter for Jiu Zhu.
Xiao Emerald raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, then looked at Jiu Zhu, “Jiu Zhu, you say it yourself.”
Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Cheng Jue in confusion, not knowing whether this princess status was good or bad, but since Zhao Cheng Jue did not agree to it, it must be bad, “Thank you, Your Majesty, Jiu Zhu does not want to be a princess.”
Xiao Emerald smiled, “You are still young and do not understand this, today’s promise in the future if you think of it, come to this palace at any time.”
“Jiu Zhu, why don’t you quickly give thanks to Your Majesty.” Zhao Chengjue gave a wink to Jiu Zhu.
Xiao Emerald personally helped Jiu Zhu up and looked at Zhao Cheng Jue, “This child looks good to me, so I will take her to Kunhe Palace for two days and then send her back to the Prince’s residence.”
Before Zhao Chengjue could refuse, Xiao Emerald directly led Jiu Zhu to the phoenix whisk, Zhao Jue jumped up happily and followed him, “Big brother, I’m not going to take the exam, I’ll go back first.”
Zhao Chengjue tightened his expression and watched the backs of the few people leaving.
“Jiu Zhu is so popular, should I have known that I shouldn’t have brought her out?” Wei Xin arrived slowly and suddenly said this.
Zhao Chengjue tucked his eyebrows and pursed his lips without saying anything.
The banquet of Lu’s family was so unhappy, a good banquet had become a mess, but half an hour later, the palace decree came, reducing Lu’s family to Jing’an Bo, and relegating Lu’s family and several perpetrators to the bitter cold land to hold on to, and the title of Jing’an Bo fell directly on the child who had just turned one month old.
This punishment can not be said to be ruthless, the hall of a state government house in an instant fell, Lu State Duke heard the news directly fainted, was carried on the road, Lu Qianqian and Lu Great Aunt directly killed.
Jiu Zhu was brought into the palace by Xiao Emerald, Jiu Zhu this is the first time into the palace, seen the luxury of the prince’s house atmosphere, now once again into the palace, Jiu Zhu eyelids raised there soon fell, stopped at a place called Kunhe Palace.
“Kunhe Palace…”
Xiao Emerald nodded, “Good, is the Kunhe Palace, did not expect you still know a lot of words.”
Jiu Zhu grinned, “I learn a hundred big words every day, so I recognize them.”
Xiao Emergence heard the ungracious praise, smoothly glanced back at Old Three, Old Four, two people lowered their heads and drooped their ears, Old Four went forward and pulled Xiao Emergence’s sleeve, muttering in a small voice, “From tomorrow, my son will also learn one hundred big words, no, one hundred and fifty.”
Old Fourth originally said one hundred, and thought that he could not be compared to Jiu Zhu, so he simply changed his mouth.
“So will my son.”
Xiao Emergence hummed, did not say anything more, but held Jiu Zhu’s hand and continued to walk forward, into the inner hall and had someone arrange a place for Jiu Zhu to live.
As soon as Xiao Emer entered the palace, Emperor Bei Jin came and looked up and down at Xiao Emer, Xiao Emer shook her head, “I am fine, husband don’t worry.”
“Father, thanks to Jiu Zhu today, it was Jiu Zhu who first noticed that something was wrong.” Lao Si had long been conquered by Jiu Zhu, and hated that his heart was circling around Jiu Zhu, just like a little follower.
“Nine pearls?” Bei Jin Emperor raised his eyebrows and froze, followed the gaze to the nine beads, nine beads are not afraid of Bei Jin Emperor’s aura, a pair of eyes watery let Bei Jin Emperor gaze.
“I have heard of this matter, nine beads, you did a good job.” Emperor Bei Jin has only four sons, no daughter, at first glance, nine beads, pink carved jade not to mention how much he liked, the deep under the eyes of the light can not be hidden, even the old three and four are ignored.
Xiao Emerald shyly bowed her head, one hand resting on her belly, “If only… if only this was a daughter in my belly.”
The third and fourth face aggrieved, what is wrong with men, men can also build a career to protect the country.
North Jinyin Emperor first froze, quickly reacted, “Little nine…”
The oldest three and four are already six years old, Xiao Emergence is pregnant again after six years, the Northern Red Emperor is happy and heartbroken, how many times advised Xiao Emergence to let nature take its course, but secretly take the remedy, really do not want to let Xiao Emergence suffer again.
Xiao Emer’s little face reddened and lowered her head to look at Jiu Zhu, the more she looked the more joyful Jiu Zhu also smiled brightly at Xiao Emer.
“My son wishes mother’s heart to be successful!” The oldest three and the oldest four first looked at Jiu Zhu, if there was one more little sister like Jiu Zhu who was so pink and carved, the two people would definitely be happy and would certainly protect their little sister.
Xiao Emerald slanted his eyes at Old Three and Old Four, “Jiu Zhu is Mother’s delicate guest, you must not bully Jiu Zhu, understand?”
The oldest three had palpitations, the back of the buttocks still vaguely painful, this girl’s strength is not small.
The fourth was busy nodding, “Mother, don’t worry, my son will not bully Jiu Zhu, whoever bullies Jiu Zhu, my son will be the first to quit.”
The pond was filled with koi fish vying for food as they leapt out of the water.
“This fish is so fat.” Jiuzhu gulped, lying on the railing and looking at the koi in the water.
“This is lured from elsewhere, the taste can be delicious.” The old man suddenly said this, the old man’s face changed slightly, reached out and abducted the old man, the old man immediately covered his mouth, realized afterwards that he had said the wrong thing.
Unfortunately, it was too late, Jiu Zhu had already heard, “There is also a lake in the prince’s residence, where there is also this kind of fish, his highness also personally baked one.”
Old Fourth’s small mouth deflated, “Why is Big Brother treating you so well?”
“Isn’t it bad for you?” Jiu Zhu asked strangely, then one hand pulled Lao Si, “In the future, when you go to the prince’s residence, His Highness will definitely not refuse.”
The corners of Lao San’s mouth twitched slightly, he would never believe that Zhao Cheng Jue would personally bake fish for himself, this kind of treatment, Lao San and Lao Si had never enjoyed since they were born, the two couldn’t mention how envious they were of Jiu Zhu.
“Couldn’t this fish be edible?” Nine beads puzzled look at the two, in the prince’s residence nine beads ate several times, also do not miss the Kunhe Palace pool of fish.
The two men looked at each other and saw the aggression in each other’s eyes, and did not know whether to shake their heads or nod their heads, the fish is ornamental, worth a lot of money, the two men were caught sneaking up on one, and was punished by kneeling for two hours, since then, did not dare to have any non-existent thoughts about koi, but did not expect JiuZhu to eat openly!
“This fish has been raised for a period of time tastes bad, far less than when it was first brought in, eat not eat not eat.” The old fourth waved his hand, and fortunately Jiu Zhu did not continue to ask further.
“Cousin Qinglan.” The old three sharp-eyed glance saw far away Shen Qinglan, Shen Qinglan this year has been eleven years old, living in Cining Palace Zhao Empress Dowager, is Zhao Empress Dowager’s brother’s granddaughter.
When the Empress Dowager Zhao’s family met with a sudden change, the first and third houses fell without a single person, only the second house early to avoid out, later the second house also suffered a great disaster, leaving only the orphans Shen Qinglan and Shen Qingyi two sisters, Empress Dowager Zhao saw two sisters poor, and is the bloodline of the elder brother, so they stayed around, this is a decade, Shen Qingyi five years ago has been married, now there is Shen Qinglan still in the Empress Dowager Zhao side.
Shen Qinglan smiled faintly at the third and fourth, and glanced at Jiu Zhu with a twinkle in her eye, “You are Jiu Zhu girl, aren’t you, so pretty.”
“This is Shen Qinglan, you also follow to call a cousin Qinglan.” Lao Si said to Jiu Zhu.
Jiu Zhu tilted her head and smiled brightly at Shen Qinglan, her voice was as ah pro soft, “Good cousin Qinglan.”
“So good.” Shen Qinglan is eleven years old this year, taller than Jiu Zhu, bent down and touched Jiu Zhu’s little head.
“Cousin Qinglan, what brings you here?” Lao San asked.
“My aunt heard that my aunt had a scare at Lu’s residence and asked me to come over to take a look, just now I went to Aunt Qingyu and said that my aunt was fine, so I happened to see you guys.”
Shen Qinglan’s smile is gentle, between the lifting of hands and feet are regular, very aura of the ladies of the house, a green shirt long skirt, waist tied a piece of sheep’s fat jade, the shape of the jade is very special, the middle is hollow, complex pattern, the hem of the green shirt is also embroidered with more than three or five blooming wutong flowers, vivid, not much bead hairpin on the head, there are a few simple and elegant taste.
“Nine beads, but I have heard of your merits, thanks to you, aunt could avoid a calamity without any danger.”
Shen Qinglan sat on a side chair, “If you get free later, you can go to Cining Palace to play.”
The first time I saw a woman, I had to go to the hospital.
The three of them washed up and went to the table, a large table full of dishes, Jiu Zhu looked at Xiao Emer who was sitting at the top.
“No need to be constrained, eat whatever you should, no one will say anything about you.” Xiao Emer asked Qing Yu to serve Jiu Zhu.
“Thank you, Aunt Qing Yu.” Jiu Zhu politely said thanks, Qing Yu smiled heartily, “What does the girl want to eat?”
Jiu Zhu was not fussy at all, and ate whatever Qing Yu pinned. Xiao Emer glanced at her two sons in passing, and there were suddenly more vegetables in the bowls of the oldest three and the fourth, and the two were no longer as fussy as before, fearing to be one step slower than anyone else, and ate quickly.
Only then did Xiao Emer’s expression soften a lot.
The two little ancestors were very well behaved and did not make a fuss at all.
The two youngsters were so well behaved that they didn’t make a fuss. After a meal, Jiu Zhu looked out the window at the dark sky and suddenly missed Zhao Chengjue.
The new bedding, the new environment, Jiu Zhu is not used to it at all, but still misses the faint fragrance of Zhao Cheng Jue’s body, Jiu Zhu has tossed and turned most of the night, but her mind is still very clear.
“Miss, is it somewhere uncomfortable?” The young palace maid couldn’t help but ask when she saw that Jiu Zhu hadn’t slept yet.
Jiu-zhu shook her head and threw herself into the bedding, still sleepy, her two eyes open round, until it was almost dawn, then she squinted and slept lightly for a while, and woke up again as soon as she heard footsteps in the room.
The first time I heard the sound of footsteps in the room, I woke up again. Jiu Zhu rolled over alone and got down to the ground.
“This is this morning before His Highness sent someone to send to the court.” The little palace maid replied exactly the same.
Jiu Zhu froze, her small mouth deflated with some aggression in her heart, and asked, “Will His Highness come back after the court?”
The little courtesan shook her head, saying she didn’t know.
Jiu Zhu was discouraged, put on her clothes and went down to the ground, glanced at the large sheets of paper placed on the table, on which several words were written, the handwriting was written by Zhao Cheng Jue himself, this is the hundred big words Jiu Zhu will learn today.
Jiu-zhu’s heart became even more blocked when she saw it, is this to keep herself in the Kunhe Palace all the time.
“Hmph! Hmph!”
The two of them got up early and followed the teacher’s lesson, and Jiu Zhu was also tucked in.
In the past, Zhao Chengjue’s lectures were very detailed, and Jiu Zhu understood them once.
The teacher saw that Jiu Zhu was young and only asked her not to make any trouble, so he didn’t care about the rest and concentrated on teaching the two young princes.
Jiu-zhu wrote very carefully, with tears in her eyes, and secretly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, with a smile on her face.
After school, Jiu Zhu’s 100 big words have been written, sitting in the courtyard from time to time looking at the doorway, Lao San and Lao Si squatting on the ground to tie a kite, an eagle and a large bird, Jiu Zhu only look at the eyes, a long sigh.
“Too stupid, can’t even do such a simple job.” Jiu Zhu lifted up his sleeves, bent down and took the eagle from Lao Si’s hands, and tied it in three or five clicks, the prototype of a big bird soon came out, and Lao Si looked at Jiu Zhu with even more admiration.
“Jiu Zhu, you are great…” Lao Si looked dumbfounded, and finally tugged his kite and waved it, and it was really tied better than his own.
Old Three was sweating profusely, deflating his mouth and refusing to beg Jiu Zhu. Jiu Zhu took the initiative to take over Old Three’s big eagle and tied the kite skillfully.
“Jiu-zhu, why do you know how to tie a kite?” Lao San finally couldn’t help asking after holding it for a long time.
Jiu Zhu held her jaw with her small hand, she remembered that the first time she flew a kite was taught by Zhao Cheng Jue, “His Highness taught me, there are many, many more kites in the Prince’s residence that are even more beautiful than this one.”
Jiu Zhu remembered Zhao Cheng Jue as soon as she saw the kite, and seeing as it was already noon and Zhao Cheng Jue showed no sign of coming, Jiu Zhu’s little mouth curled up.
“It’s the eldest brother again!” The third and fourth had been irritated by the words “Your Highness” in Jiu Zhu’s mouth all day, Zhao Chengjue was definitely not their own elder brother, so why had they never enjoyed this?
The distant Zhao Chengjue has been staring at this scene, but did not step on the palace door, but only far away to look, see Jiu Zhu and the old three old four play well, a slight frown.
“Your Highness, do you want to go in and pay your respects to the Queen?” The attendant asked, this has been standing for more than an hour, should we go in or not?
Zhao Chengjue shook his head and quickly withdrew his gaze and twisted his head to leave the Kunhe Palace.
Zhao Chengjue saw no difference between Jiu Zhu and his usual self, but he couldn’t say what he felt in his heart. He shook off his head, no matter what, Jiu Zhu had to leave the prince’s house sooner or later, and these days, Zhao Chengjue had made a lot of effort for Jiu Zhu, but he was still a little uncomfortable to have someone less around all of a sudden.
The first time I met Wei Xin at the entrance of the palace, Wei Xin had a strict look on his face, “The Emperor of Southern Jiang has suddenly died.”
Zhao Chengjue frowned, “When did it happen?”
“This is not the point, the princess of Southern Jiang who was going to marry Northern Jinyin was martyred by the Grand Prince of Southern Jiang, the sorcerer of Southern Jiang said that the princess had a bad fate, now Southern Jiang is divided into three factions, chaos is very high, in all probability, the Grand Prince inherited the throne.”
Wei Xin secretly sighed that this matter came too suddenly, Wei Xin and Nan Yang Marquis have been firmly in the border city, and the Grand Prince of Southern Jiang also has some contact, this Grand Prince is a dishonest, very ambitious, has long been dissatisfied with Northern Jinyin, if the Grand Prince of Southern Jiang inherits the throne, there will be a battle with Northern Jinyin.
Zhao Chengjue immediately turned his horse back to the palace, this matter soon spread among the civil and military officials, one of the military generals spoke up, “Your Majesty, the Grand Prince of Southern Jiang is very aggressive is not good, has long coveted the borders of Northern Jinyin, why not take advantage of the chaos in Southern Jiang, unexpectedly send troops to Southern Jiang, in one fell swoop to eliminate Southern Jiang, promote the prestige of Northern Jinyin!”
“No, Your Majesty, this is not taking advantage of the fire, if you really do so, it will be condemned by other countries, it is really unkind, but also will damage the prestige of Your Majesty.”
The civil minister is another argument, “and the South Jiang throne is not yet determined, not necessarily the first prince to ascend the throne, the third prince of South Jiang extraordinary strength, and loved by the people, if the third prince inherited the throne, the two countries live in peace, less killing, the people of the two countries are also free from suffering ah.”
The large hall soon became noisy, the civil servants and military generals were arguing a lot, the Northern Jin Emperor never said a word, the hall was suddenly quiet, the Northern Jin Emperor looked at Zhao Chengjue, “What does the Crown Prince think?”
Zhao Chengjue stepped forward, “Father, I think I can first reorganize the troops and horses, get ready, and spy on the news of Southern Jiang at any time, no matter who sits in the last position, this war can not be avoided, in the past, the Third Prince of Southern Jiang frequently showed goodwill to Northern Jin, but only to draw Northern Jin as a backing, once you get into that position, may not be willing to befriend Northern Jin, on the contrary, the Fifth Prince of Southern Jiang If the fifth prince ascends to the throne as emperor, there may be a chance of détente between the two countries, and there will not be a big fight for the time being.”
“But the fifth prince of Southern Jiang has a low status and is far less powerful than the other two princes, although he has been favored these two years, but now that the Emperor of Southern Jiang has died, the fifth prince of Southern Jiang may not be able to ascend to that position.” One of the ministers offered his opinion.
“Because of this, if we can help the fifth prince of Southern Jiang ascend to that position, the fifth prince of Southern Jiang will only be grateful to Northern Jinyin, if we really want to fight, the situation of Southern Jiang divided into four parts will definitely lose, the fifth prince of Southern Jiang is a smart person, definitely will not hit the stone with an egg.”
Zhao Chengjue’s words fell, and the crowd was silent for a while.
Emperor Bei Jin tilted his eyes at Zhao Cheng Jue, “Leave this matter to the two of you, the Crown Prince and Wei Xin, to move Jianbei’s 200,000-strong army to the border city to stand by, and Lord Liang to take care of the food and provisions.”
“My son obeys the decree.”
“I obey the decree.”
When Zhao Chengjue left the Palace of Government, it was already getting dark, and the young palace maid from Kunhe Palace immediately went up to Zhao Chengjue and greeted him, “Your servant has met Your Highness, the Queen has prepared a dinner and asked Your Highness to come over.”
Zhao Chengjue frowned slightly and shook his head, “Go back and tell the Queen Mother that you will not be going today because of your busy schedule, and that you will greet the Queen Mother another day when you are free.”
The young palace maid looked at Zhao Chengjue with some difficulty, “Your Highness… it’s Miss Jiu Zhu who wants to see you.”
The corners of Zhao Chengjue’s mouth curled up in a faint arc, the little girl had some conscience, humming twice, “Just do as I say.”
The words fell, Zhao Chengjue lifted his feet and left, the little palace maid had no choice but to return to the palace to repeat orders.
The little mouth was pouting, standing at the door and staring for a while before recovering her mood.
“Jiuzhu, Jiuzhu, look.” The old four impulsively took a fist-sized night pearl handed to the nine beads, nine beads two hands holding the flashing fluorescent night pearl froze.
“Why give me this bead?”
“You did not sleep well last night, I was afraid to sleep alone as a child, put this bead on top of the bed, and slowly get used to it.” The old four today rummaged for a long time to find this bead, the bead a total of two, the old three of the one given to Shen Qinglan.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
Nine beads grin a little, “Thank you.”
Old four ear tips red, smiling and looking at nine beads, two people soon played together again, the old three stomping feet, cheeky followed the front.
For three days in a row, Jiu Zhu did not see Zhao Cheng Jue, and her frown grew tighter and tighter, her mouth not saying anything, but every night she would hide under the covers and whimper for a while, and if she saw Zhao Cheng Jue, Jiu Zhu would scold him severely.
Zhao Chengjue was so busy these days that he didn’t even have the time to drink a sip of water. He also had the intention of putting Jiu Zhu down, but every time he quieted his mind he would unconsciously think of Jiu Zhu and remember every little look and movement of Jiu Zhu, as if it was engraved in his mind and would not linger.
“Your Highness, King Consort Jing’an and County Princess Yuyan have entered the palace today.” The attendant would spy on the affairs of Kunhe Palace every day, just waiting for Zhao Chengjue to ask up at any time, but Zhao Chengjue didn’t have the slightest intention to ask, so the attendant thought about it and picked a moment to say the words.
“Shut up!” Zhao Chengjue raised his eyes and squinted at the attendant, his face vaguely displeased, “Go down and receive twenty boards!”
“Yes.” Without saying a word, the attendant went to collect the punishment.
…
Kunhe Palace
When the news of the sudden death of the Emperor of Southern Jiang came, no one was happier than An Yuyan, this is good, can not be reconciled, An Yuyan even feel that even God is helping themselves, the war between Southern Jiang and Northern Jinyin is imminent, it is impossible to be reconciled.
This is not, Jing’an Wangfei then brought An Yuyan to give Xiao Emerg to please, An Yuyan has suffered a loss this time long lesson, hate to immediately please Xiao Emerg, put down the stature, in the mind of countless conversations, so many years An Yuyan not less come to give Xiao Emerg to please, so An Yuyan is very confident.
The only thing is that An Yuyan saw the figure of Jiu Zhu before she entered the door, froze and could not believe her ears, reached out and rubbed her eyes, fixed her eyes and saw that it was indeed Jiu Zhu.
“Mother, how come that maid is here?”
Jing’an Wangfei followed the line of sight, this is the first time Jing’an Wangfei saw Jiu Zhu, only think this child looks powder carved, very cute, “this child is in Lu Guogong House… Jing’an Bo House saved the one who saved the Queen, was brought back to Kunhe Palace by the Queen for a few days, you do not offend others.”
An Yuyan tightly pursed her lips, why would Jiu Zhu have such good luck, obviously just a small orphan girl, how could she rise all the way up to Xiao Emer’s eyes, An Yuyan came to accompany Xiao Emer when she was young, but also never stayed in the Kunhe Palace for one night.
“Mother, don’t worry, my daughter understands.” An Yuyan took a deep breath and withdrew her eyes, now is not the time to be bothered with a child.
Xiao Emerald saw the two coming, frowned first, people have already reached the door is not good not to see, only then let Qing Yu bring the two into the door.
“My wife pays her respects to the Empress.”
“My daughter pays respects to the Empress.”
Xiao Emerald waved her hand, “No need to be polite, get up.”
The two of them stood up, Prince Consort Jing’an took her seat, An Yuyan stood in front of Xiao Emer and confessed her mistake, “Your Majesty, before it was all because Yuyan did not know what to do and made Your Majesty angry, these days Yuyan prayed and repented day after day, personally copied the Vajra Sutra 500 times to pray for Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty can forgive Yuyan once.”
Xiao Emergent nature from childhood is to say one is not two, like is like, do not like is not like, perhaps know the true nature of An Yuyan, the heart of An Yuyan have resistance, how to see can not like up, across the air raised his hand to let An Yuyan get up.
“If you know you are wrong, you are a good boy, sit down.” Xiao Emer’s expression was cold and serious, so An Yuyan did not dare to go forward and be reckless, for fear of displeasing Xiao Emer again, so she had to stand aside and wait.
“The first time I saw her, I had to go to the hospital, but I had to go to the hospital.
The king of Jing’an always thought that Xiao Emer was different from An Yuyan, and that Xiao Emer had the intention to make An Yuyan her daughter-in-law, but the latter was delayed by a coincidence, which led to this situation today.
Xiao Emerg was not moved at all by these words, rather it was ridiculous that after so many things King Consort Jing’an still did not die. Xiao Emerg leaned on the table with one hand on her head and looked at King Consort Jing’an in a casual manner, “Yuyan is not young anymore, does King Consort have any plans?”
Wangfei Jing’an paused, unable to understand Xiao Emer’s meaning, and carefully deliberated for three times before she could not help but speak, “I have not considered this matter for a while, so I would like to ask Your Majesty’s advice.”
Xiao Emer looked at An Yuyan, An Yuyan looked at Xiao Emer, but in her heart she thought that even if she wasn’t the crown prince’s concubine, being a side concubine would be more than enough.
“Since this is the case, for the sake of the fact that Yuyan has accompanied this palace, this palace will find a marriage for Yuyan, from now on, Sister Liu will make a hard trip to teach Yuyan the rules.” Xiao Emerald’s words turned and instructed Sister Liu who was at the side.
“Yes, slave servant obeys the order.”
“Your Majesty…” An Yuyan froze, how is this different from what she thought.
“What, not satisfied with this palace’s arrangement?” Xiao Emerald’s face was abruptly cold and her aura collapsed, scaring An Yuyan so much that her legs went limp and she directly knelt on the ground.
“Your Majesty, Yuyan didn’t mean it, but Yuyan only has His Highness in her heart, so she can’t fit in other people, so I beg Your Majesty to make it whole.” An Yuyan kowtowed to Xiao Emer.
But Xiao Emerg lost her patience and gave a wink to Sister Liu, who immediately went forward and raised her hand and slapped An Yuyan’s face fiercely.
“The marriage is a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words, and the marriage given to you by the Queen is a blessing for you.
Sister Liu looked at An Yuyan with a serious face, An Yuyan was struck blind, looking at Sister Liu in a daze, and the Jing’an Wangfei on the side had a slightly changed face, also did not expect Sister Liu to dare to do so.
“County Lord, repeat what you just said.” Sister Liu lightly chortled.
An Yuyan’s breath tightened and she looked at Xiao Emer.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
“Your majesty…” As soon as Wangfei Jing’an kneeled down, Sister Liu backhanded a slap, fiercely hitting Wangfei Jing’s face, knocking Wangfei Jing’an blind, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
“Pull out and kneel for two hours, reflect on yourself!” Xiao Emerald really did not want to listen to what these two people said, very impatient to have people pull the two out.
The king of Jing’an was slapped and punished to kneel at the entrance of Kunhe Palace, having people come and go to look at her, how could she stand this kind of scrutiny?
“Mother…” An Yuyan’s small face slap marks one after another, ears buzzing, the whole face has been numb, aggrieved looking at the King Consort of Jing’an, “Why does the Empress treat us like this, where will the face of the King’s House of Jing’an put ah? “
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual website.
The king of Jing’an pursed her lips and did not pay attention to An Yuyan.
“Your Majesty also has a bottom line, last time when the Jing’an Wangfu calculated His Highness, long ago that point of affection has been worn out clean.”
A figure came from behind, Jingan Wangfei opened, it was none other than Princess Chao cao, Princess Chao cao looked at Jingan Wangfei with a helpless face, “And why are you so persistent?”
King Consort Jing’an was silent.
“My palace heard that the emperor has already prepared the intention to move the Jing’an Wangfu out of the capital, but for the time being, I just don’t know where to go.”
Princess Chao cao’s words were not finished, Princess Jing’an froze and could not believe her ears and looked at Princess Chao cao in a daze, “Move out of the capital? The king’s house is accompanied by the emperor to fight the world’s merits, and now the country is safe, the emperor escaped over the river to tear down the bridge.”
Hearing these words Chao cautious princess also very unhappy, know Jing An Wangfei has been deep in the marrow of the obsession, simply can not listen to persuasion, grunted, “so what, you do not think that on the basis of this merit to blackmail the emperor, to blackmail Bei Jin it?”
Jing’an Wangfei did not speak, although the mouth did not say anything, but the face is written full of dissatisfaction, Jing’an Wangfu if relocated away from the capital, that and degraded to the fiefdom and what is the difference.
“Not to mention your Jing’an Wangfu, a few days ago, the merits of the Lu Gongfu is not less than the Jing’an Wangfu, Lu Taifu and the emperor is also a teacher and friend, and his Highness’s Taifu, you can see the mercy of the Lu Gongfu, the royal majesty can not be violated!”
Princess cautious and Jing’an Wangfei is also more than ten years of friendship, see Jing’an Wangfei so persistent, Princess cautious also followed anxious fire, private do not know how many times to persuade, but there is still no turn back, simply do not hit the south wall will not turn back.
“Princess…but the King of Jing’an House did not poison the Queen, how can we compare?” The Princess of Jing’an did not agree with the words of Princess cautious, her face was still very stubborn, Princess cautious was also left with no choice but to fling her sleeves, “It’s just that, since you are so obsessed, it’s futile for the palace to say more, so take care of yourself.”
The words just fell, the little eunuch holding a bright yellow holy decree in his hand rushed to, the sharp voice in the ears a little harsh.
The king of Jing’an’s eyelids jumped, a sense of foreboding lingered in the heart.
“County princess Yuyan receive the decree!”
An Yuyan froze and quickly turned around and knelt in the direction of the young eunuch, “Yuyan receives the decree.”
“The Emperor’s edict says, I have heard that the county princess Yuyan is dignified and gentle, virtuous and respectful, is the daughter of the Prince, today there is Liangshan imperial merchant Liang Ziyu came to propose marriage, I think of the Liang family for many years for the court’s contribution, will give the county princess Yuyan marriage Liangshan imperial merchant, Qin hereby!”
An Yuyan was dumbfounded, “Eunuch, is this a miscommunication, Liangshan is so far away from here, and is a merchant, how could…”
“How dare you!” The young eunuch’s face tightened and immediately rebuked angrily, “This is the emperor’s decree, you also dare to go against the emperor’s will!”
An Yuyan panicked and immediately raised her eyes to look at King Consort Jing’an, “Mother, this, how did it become like this?”
King Consort Jing’an’s body swayed and looked at the young eunuch, “Liangshan…”
“In reply to Your Highness, just now the emperor has issued an order for Prince Jing’an to guard Liangshan Mountain, and he will leave in three days without fail.” The young eunuch’s words were like a thunderbolt exploding out of nowhere.
“Poof!” King Consort Jing’an did not control the waves inside, a fishy sweetness welled up in her throat, slowly flowing with the corner of her mouth, Liang Shan imperial merchant Liang Ziyu is a man in his forties, two previous wives were killed by grams, the Northern Jinyin Emperor not only let An Yuyan be the merchant woman, but also let An Yuyan be the step-chamber, this is simply a great shame for the Jing’an royal family!
“Prefect Yuyan accept the decree.” The young eunuch raised the decree high, An Yuyan’s face was ashen, she wanted to resist but didn’t have the guts, she reached out and accepted the decree tremblingly, the young eunuch left Kunhe Palace.
The princess did not turn back when she saw the situation, and went directly into the Kunhe Palace, and in a short time Sister Liu came out and sent the two people back to the residence of King Jing’an.
Jing’an Wangfei fell into a coma halfway, really hard to accept the fact that Liangshan is a bitter cold land, is one of the worst fiefdoms in northern Jinyin.
“Are you satisfied now?” King Jing’an looked at the just woken up Jing’an Wangfei, all of a sudden as if aged a dozen years, the temples are white, and helpless and angry.
The King Consort leaned on the collapse and said, “The most merciless emperor’s family, it is true, the King’s House of Jing’an is no longer useful naturally is far away to send.”
“You are still so obsessed with this, you want to kill the whole Jing’an Wangfu, don’t you!” The reason why you are trying to get Yuyan to marry the prince is because you want to compete with the queen.”
Jing’an Wangfei was originally the first daughter of the Rong family’s side branch in West Vietnam, the status is also considered noble, decades ago, the Northern Red Emperor escorted Xiao Emerg to West Vietnam once, at that time Jing’an Wangfei met the Northern Red Emperor once, and Yunying unmarried girl, at first sight, but unfortunately the Northern Red Emperor’s deep love for Xiao Emerg, did not look at Jing’an Wangfei a glance.
After the West Vietnam strife, with the North Jinyin, King Consort Jing’an is not young, married to the North Jinyin Emperor’s lieutenant, which is now the King Jing’an, King Jing’an is a good brother who followed the North Jinyin Emperor born into death for decades, which knows what the feelings of men and women, see a girl to marry his daughter-in-law, which will not agree, after so many decades, the couple is also seemingly separated, and not as loving as the surface.
“What nonsense!” King Consort Jing’an’s face changed slightly and her almond eyes glared at King Jing’an.
“I am nonsense? You are the only one who knows what is in your heart for so many years, Your Majesty will always be Your Majesty, who are you to compare with Her Majesty?”
She was the daughter of a treacherous minister, and everyone was punished for plotting power and usurping the throne. For the queen!”
This is the most unconvincing point, if Xiao Emergence is not the first daughter of the right minister of Dongming, King Consort Jing’an does not believe that the Northern Red Emperor Zhao Zun will single-mindedly keep Xiao Emergence.
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. The original King of Jing’an was only guessing, and when he heard this, his heart went cold.
The King Consort of Jing’an has nothing to worry about at this moment, and does not hide his thoughts, snickering at the King of Jing’an, a face of contempt.
“The two sisters are of the same virtue, hogging the favor of the emperor for a generation, really worthy of being sisters, if you look at the dynasties and generations, how many people in this world are like this?”
The King of Jing’an laughed coldly, the King of Jing’an was so angry that he threw his hand and slapped the King of Jing’an’s face, the King of Jing’an fell on the collapse.
“You are reckless, the empress is also you can slander, North Jinyin stability for more than ten years, the emperor treats the empress as before, do you know why the emperor to you today?”
The King of Jing’an was so angry that he finally said the words he had been holding in his heart for almost twenty years, “The Queen has just been diagnosed as pregnant and cannot withstand the noise, and the Emperor learned that you and your daughter had made a scene in Kunhe Palace and did not hesitate to give the decree.
The reason that Jing’an Wangfei had been supporting herself was crushed, clenching her fist tightly, ignoring the injury on her face, she shouted at Jing’an Wang, “You are nonsense, the sisters are foxes, specializing in seducing people, the emperor is confused only because his head is not clear, one day the emperor will wake up.”
“Unreasonable!” King Jing’an looked at Princess Jing’an with disappointment, “I forgot to tell you that the Rong family was also deported to Liangshan this time, and all the juniors of the Rong family were stripped of their official positions, and their descendants were not allowed to step into the capital, and they were not allowed to enter the imperial examinations within five generations!”
The king consort of Jing’an can no longer pretend to go on, a fishy sweetness in the throat can not be stopped, a fierce spray out, the body fell limp on the collapse, breathing tight, the mind is the first time I saw Zhao Zun’s appearance, the man a crescent white clothes, stunning face, than the West Vietnam Prince Song Zhan more upright, the king consort of Jing’an can immediately distinguish the difference between the two, but did not think that Zhao Zun is so ruthless.
“Humph!”
King Jing’an flung his sleeves and left, bumping into King Jing’an Shizi at the door with an embarrassed face.
“Father, are all the things said just now true?” Jing’an Wang Shizi asked.
King Jing’an’s face was a little unnatural.
“Father, let’s leave this night.” Jing’an Wang Shizi had mixed feelings in his heart, finally understanding why Jing’an Wang Fei was so persistent, having given high hopes to An Yuyan since her birth, expecting An Yuyan to marry Zhao Chengjue at every moment, and was on the verge of going off the deep end.
“I also have this intention, those who can take away, take away, those who cannot take away, stay.” The King of Jing’an did not want to stay for a moment longer, after all, this matter is also his own fault, so many years to Jing’an Wangfei is too indulgent, only to make jokes again and again.
Only by leaving completely can the King Consort of Jing’an die.
…
Kunhe Palace
The first time I saw her, I saw Princess Chao ca, who covered her mouth and smiled, “Are you still unwell?”
Xiao Emerg shook her head, “No, I don’t feel uncomfortable, I didn’t feel this sleepy even when I was pregnant with several children.”
Xiao Emerg glanced at the pickled preserves on the table, most of them were sour fruits, Xiao Emerg picked one of them and put it into her mouth.
“The other people are sour and spicy girls, but you are the opposite, when the third and fourth children were still in their mother’s womb, you were spicy.”
Xiao Emerald’s eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, “If that’s the case, that’s the best thing, I see Jiu Zhu’s pink and tender face all day long, if I really had a daughter, I would take her with me every day and teach her myself, unlike the oldest three and the fourth, who can’t be bothered for a moment.”
The smile at the corner of Xiao Emer’s mouth gradually tightened up, “I thought she was a generous and understanding person, but the more she went on, the more she became unlike the others, so it’s better to send her away, because it’s annoying to stay under her nose.”
Xiao Emergence has completely lost patience with the King of Jing’an Mansion, and does not want to see the people of the King of Jing’an Mansion at all, waving her hand at the cautious Princess, “There is no need to worry about it in the future, this matter has been decided, no one will blame the Queen, the Queen only needs to feel good and give birth to the little Princess in peace.”
Xiao Emerald one hand on the flat belly, red lips slightly curved, mood is not affected.
“Your Majesty!”
Outside the door, Jiu Zhu came running, her little face was flushed and her two eyes were watery, so she could not help but like her.
“I heard before that this child was born beautiful, and it is true, it is really handsome.”
Jiu Zhu was panting heavily, and her hair was wet and clinging to her forehead.
Xiao Emerald waved at Jiu Zhu, who stepped forward and smiled at the cautious princess with narrowed eyes, “The princess is also pretty.”
“Aigoo, this little mouth is so sweet.” Princess Chao cao reached out to wipe Jiu Zhu’s forehead, and Jiu Zhu was good and didn’t move.
Older three and older four are also panting roughly, full of sweat, but no one has paid attention to the two of them, older three and older four skimmed their mouths, but also used to it.
“Your Majesty…” Jiu Zhu tugged on Xiao Emer’s sleeve, her water-soaked eyes were like black grapes, staring at Xiao Emer, “I’ve been coming to Kunhe Palace for several days, and I don’t know if Master has come back, I… I want to go back to the Prince’s residence. “
Jiu Zhu had been holding it in for several days, and finally couldn’t help it. Since Zhao Cheng Jue wasn’t coming to her, Jiu Zhu would go back to the prince’s residence to find Zhao Cheng Jue.
Xiao Emerald looked at Jiu Zhu with some surprise, “Isn’t it good to live in Kunhe Palace, there are people to play with you.”
“Yes, what’s so fun about the Crown Prince’s residence, there’s not even a human atmosphere, staying alone is staying alone, it’s really not possible to go to the Princess’s residence.” Princess Chao cautious also does not have a daughter, see the pink carved jade watery nine beads, not to mention how much like.
The third and the fourth look at each other, who said the prince’s house is not fun, the prince’s house has a special heaven, the third and the fourth want to follow to go.
Xiao Emergence also heard that Jiu Zhu has been sleeping badly these days, tossing and turning at night, after all, Jiu Zhu is still too small, easily change the environment for a while still can not accept.
“In a moment, this palace will have someone send you back to the prince’s residence.” When Xiao Emer let go, Jiu Zhu’s two eyes lit up, “Your Majesty, Jiu Zhu can come to accompany you during the day, and the princess.”
Xiao Emer nodded her head and answered.
“Mother…” Old Fourth stepped forward and also looked at Xiao Emer with resignation, “My son, my son also wants to go to the eldest brother.”
“Mother, my son also wants to go.” The oldest three also lowered their heads with a pleading face.
Xiao Emerging slanted her eyes at the two, these two have done well in their homework these days, and do not need to worry about it, children, it is new to have an additional playmate, Xiao Emerging is very tired these days, simply did not care about them, could not stand the two little ones grinding and grinding, finally nodded his head.
“I said, no homework is allowed to be missed, otherwise don’t blame the Queen Mother, and when you go to your eldest brother’s house, don’t mess with your eldest brother, your eldest brother is busy, you know?” Xiao Emerald a serious face admonition.
The two of them nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice and promised one after another, and only then did Xiao Emer ask people to pack up their things and send them to the prince’s residence, and the two of them couldn’t mention how excited they were.
Jiu Zhu, Lao San and Lao Si got off the carriage together and stood in front of the Prince’s residence. Jiu Zhu smiled brightly and the guard at the door thought he was mistaken and rubbed his eyes, but it was indeed the young lady, the third prince and the fourth prince who had come.
The three little bullies came together, who dared to stop them, the guards immediately darted off to find Housekeeper Lu.
“Ooo, it’s still more comfortable in the mansion!” Nine beads into the House, the heart can not mention how happy, or the House of everything is more familiar, into the Prince’s House of nine beads is like a fish all of a sudden was put into the lake, can be in the lake at will dash free, unrestrained.
“You guys are here, don’t be polite.” Jiu Zhu patted her small chest and said to Lao San and Lao Si, who nodded their heads.
A short while later, butler Lu arrived, saw the three people suddenly head big, originally a nine beads is enough headache, all of a sudden there are two more, butler Lu glanced at the parcels held in the hands of the guards behind, eyelids jumped a lot.
“Third Highness, Fourth Highness, Miss.” Butler Lu respectfully greeted.
“Butler, where is His Highness?” When she entered the mansion, Jiu Zhu was most concerned about Zhao Cheng Jue, she wanted to ask why it had been so long, but Zhao Cheng Jue did not visit himself at Kunhe Palace.
“His Highness has gone out on an errand and will not be back until the evening.” Butler Lu replied.
Jiu Zhu’s mouth puckered up, but thinking that she would be back sooner or later, she was in no hurry and led her two little followers to the backyard.
The three of them played until it was dark before they were willing to stop, butler Lu weighed the time and arranged for the evening meal, which one of the three little ancestors was hungry, butler Lu could not afford.
Jiu Zhu returned to the long-lost rice table, where each set of dishes are Jiu Zhu’s favorite, Jiu Zhu ate a whole bowl before putting down the chopsticks, touching the small belly, bulging, very satisfied.
“Your two highnesses, it’s getting late, why don’t you rest early.” Housekeeper Lu saw that the oldest three and the oldest four also had no intention to leave, so he took it upon himself to arrange the courtyard, the two nodded and followed the little maid to rest.
Jiu Zhu propped up her jaw, “Housekeeper, when will His Highness return?”
Butler Lu hesitated, “It’s hard to say, it may be back in a while, it may take a few more hours, or it may not come back this night, recently His Highness is very busy, he goes out at dawn every day.”
Jiu Zhu was a little disappointed, lying on the threshold stubbornly refused to sleep, waiting for Zhao Cheng Jue to return, an hour passed, Jiu Zhu’s head hit the threshold with a thud, the pain immediately woke Jiu Zhu, reached out and rubbed his little head, looked outside the door, still no movement.
Half an hour later, Jiu Zhu’s two eyes could not be opened, a gambling simply took off his own clothes, into the nest, smelling the familiar aroma, Jiu Zhu is a lot more at ease, not long after shallow breathing and fell asleep.
An hour later Zhao Chengjue returned in the moonlight, the attendant beside him reported on the Nan Jiang side of the matter, Lu butler on the side can not intervene, until Zhao Chengjue into the study, Lu butler also did not have time to say the three little ancestors of the matter.
“If there is any movement over there, send it as soon as possible, no negligence!” Zhao Chengjue ordered in a cold voice, and the other end answered in the affirmative.
Zhao Chengjue waved his hand and went into his bedroom alone, reading the paperwork for a while longer before turning out the light and preparing to rest.
“Who is it?”
Looking at the moonlight, there was a small person, Zhao Chengjue was surprised and unexpected, Jiu Zhu rubbed his eyes, wobbling and sitting up.
“It’s me.”
Zhao Chengjue relighted the candle again, his face tightened as he looked at Jiu Zhu, “Why did you suddenly come back?”
Jiu Zhu’s small mouth pouted, “Then why didn’t you go to Kunhe Palace to see me, did you just leave me at Kunhe Palace and leave me alone?”
Zhao Chengjue looked at Jiu Zhu from a high position and was silent.
“Otherwise, or you can send me back to Lianshan Village, I want to go back, I’m not used to living in Kunhe Palace.
” Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with cautious eyes, Zhao Cheng Jue heard these words, and saw Jiu Zhu’s little head knocked red small piece, heart instantly soft, sat on the collapse, “just I am busy these days, no time to take care of you, only then did not go to pick you up, when busy finished to take time to pick you up, does it hurt?”
Zhao Chengjue’s hand rubbed Jiu Zhu’s head, got up and took a bottle of medicine, and put it on Jiu Zhu, who didn’t move, but her tears were in her eyes, and it took her a while to ease up, she seemed to have heard the same thing from Butler Lu.
Zhao Chengjue was relieved to see that Jiu Zhu was not seriously hurt.
“It’s getting late, go to sleep.” Zhao Chengjue got back on the couch and covered Jiu Zhu with the bedding, but Jiu Zhu was a bit excited and sniffled, whimpering out in a small voice, having held it in for so many days, she couldn’t help but burst out when she saw Zhao Chengjue.
Zhao Chengjue reached out and patted Jiu Zhu’s back, smoothing her breath, these actions were done with incomparable skill, not panicking, whispering soothingly, “When we’re done, I’ll inquire about Master’s whereabouts for you, okay?”
The first time I cried, I couldn’t stop, it was like I wanted to cry out all the grievances of the past few days, hugging Zhao Chengjue’s arm and not letting go, nodding sobbingly, “Okay~”
“Go to sleep, it’s going to be light soon.”
The next day dawned, Zhao Chengjue left early, Jiu Zhu slept until the sun was up, there were still many big words on the table, Jiu Zhu narrowed her eyes and smiled, it must be left by Zhao Chengjue, it was the same as before.
At noon, Zhao Chengjue took the time to come back and just entered the door, his eyebrows knotted, glancing at Lao San and Lao Si, “Why are you two here?”
Older three and older four glanced at each other and stirred up to take one of Zhao Chengjue’s hands, “Mother sent us here, big brother, we can keep you company.”
Zhao Chengjue squinted at Housekeeper Lu, who immediately explained, “Your Highness, the two young highnesses came back yesterday with Miss, and the servant arranged for them to stay at the Green Pine Courtyard.”
“Yesterday?” Zhao Chengjue didn’t know anything about it, or followed Jiu Zhu back together, Zhao Chengjue withdrew his eyes and glanced at the two, “When did you leave?”
“Big brother~” the third and fourth brother shook their heads, their eyes shining brightly at Zhao Chengjue, why did he have to shoo them away as soon as he arrived.
Jiu Zhu had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was overjoyed to see Zhao Cheng Jue, “Your Highness!”
Zhao Chengjue saw Jiu Zhu and before he could say anything, Lao San and Lao Si were chattering around Jiu Zhu, the three of them were playing very well, Zhao Chengjue frowned and spoke to Butler Lu without hesitation, “Prepare the carriage, I will go to the palace!”
The words fell, Zhao Chengjue dragged one into the carriage with one hand, not giving the two a chance to refuse, Jiu Zhu also had a look of love, smiling and waving his hand.
Older four was tugged by the collar and thrown onto the carriage, lying at the window and shouting, “Jiu Zhu, I’ll be back.”
Older three lay at the other window, “Me too!”
“Go!” Zhao Chengjue commanded in a cold voice.
The carriage soared away, blocking the voices of the two men, Older Three and Older Four looked at each other and grunted heavily, “Petty!”
Zhao Chengjue slanted his eyes at the two men, who immediately turned their heads to ignore Zhao Chengjue.
After sending the two people back to Kunhe Palace personally and explaining the reason, Zhao Chengjue left Kunhe Palace, and Older Three and Older Four immediately chattered and complained to Xiao Emerald.
“Mother, the eldest brother is too fierce, look, my son’s wrist is red.”
“Mother, Jiu Zhu is definitely being bullied, the eldest royal brother is the most impatient, Mother, you quickly save Jiu Zhu.”
Two people tightly pulling Xiao Emerg’s hand, Xiao Emerg face helpless, “nonsense, your eldest brother is good to nine beads, you two just stay in peace in Kunhe Palace, learn words well, tomorrow the beginning of the master Yan will go to the school, you two well prepared!
The old three and four are almost crying with anger, saying that no one treats.
…
Nine beads back to the house, and resume the life of the past, week after week, this day Chao cautious princess personally door to pick up nine beads, nine beads first said, “evening, the evening I want to come back.”
Princess Chao ca ca nodded, “According to you.”
Princess Chao caiao took Jiu Zhu out of the door with a smile and held her hand. Princess Chao caiao took Jiu Zhu around for some fun and did not return to the princess’s house, but went to Madam Du’s house.
“In a moment, you and Madam Du will go to the garden for a stroll, and I will come back to pick you up later.” Princess Chao cao winked at Jiu Zhu, she had already told Jiu Zhu what to do before she came, Jiu Zhu was a child and would not attract attention, so she was best suited to spying, Jiu Zhu winked mischievously at Princess Chao cao.
“Go on.” Princess cautiously stroked Jiu-zhu’s little head, instructed the maid not to let Jiu-zhu bump into anything, and chatted with Madam Du about family matters.
Jiu Zhu wandered around the garden but did not see Miss Du, it took a while before she appeared, Miss Du was elegant and generous in a light blue dress, holding a fan in her hand, covering half of her face, sitting in a gazebo quietly looking at the lake, such a plain and quiet woman.
“Sister Du.” Jiu Zhu went forward, Miss Du was slightly surprised to see Jiu Zhu, smiled lightly and asked, “Who are you?”
“I am following Princess Chao cautiously, I am alone and bored to come to play with sister.” Jiu-zhu did not recognize the newborn, and sat on the stone bench, wiggling her two little feet.
Perhaps because of Jiu Zhu’s good looks, Miss Du was not at all defensive, and in a few words she was set up by Jiu Zhu, not knowing it yet.
“Sister Du, Brother Wei is very nice, young and promising and the son of the princess, no messy people around, if Sister Du can be with Brother Wei, won’t he be very happy?”
This was taught by Princess Chao cautious, Jiu Zhu was still a little bit unable to understand, but said so.
The girl’s face is slightly red, between her eyebrows is a faint sadness that cannot be solved, “This matter is not that easy.”
The original Du girl body has a marriage contract in the body, the other party is slow to come to the door to propose marriage, Du girl can only be delayed again and again, this matter is concealed tightly, no one has said, Du family ready to let Du girl wait two years, and so on Du girl 18 years old, the person does not propose marriage again, will Du girl promised to others.
Otherwise the Du family has a daughter Xu two news once the word gets out, the Du family’s reputation will be ruined.
“So that’s how it is.” Jiu Zhu listened to seem to understand, but remembered the words of Miss Du one by one, Miss Du smiled and looked at Jiu Zhu, “Are you hungry, I’ll make you a few pastries.”
“Thank you, sister Du.” Jiu Zhu answered, followed Miss Du to a courtyard, halfway Jiu Zhu suddenly saw a familiar figure, a flicker from afar, Jiu Zhu thought she was seeing things wrong.
“What’s wrong?” Miss Du asked.
Jiu Zhu shook her head, but Miss Du said, “Then you can wait for me in the courtyard first.”
Jiu Zhu did not refuse, following the line of sight just now all the way down to look, with sweat beads on her hands, passing a small courtyard, she really saw the pink figure just now.
“The third young master’s temper is not good, but he is really good to Aunt Li, the servant girl has never seen the third young master treat any aunt so well.
The young maid’s mouth was persuasive, but her expression was very arrogant, and she did not look down on the woman in front of her.
The woman has curved eyebrows, skin like fat, not really beautiful but also very beautiful, long hair pulled up a sideburns, two jade hairpins on the temples, wrists also wear two jade bracelets, sitting on the stool half hanging head, do not know what is thinking.
For a long time, the little maid stopped talking.
The woman looked up, “just, if anyone wants to be this aunt, go ahead and do it, I don’t care, even if you want to do it, I will also fulfill you, as long as you can win the young master’s heart.”
The little maid’s face was red, as if she had been poked in the heart, “Slave servant does not dare.”
The woman glanced at the little maid and withdrew her look, her eyes were flat and uninteresting, and she looked at the sky and let out a long sigh.
Jiu Zhu hid behind the pillar, that Aunt Li looks more and more familiar, the voice is also very familiar, for a while Aunt Li turned her face, Jiu Zhu froze, is not that sister Xing Hua?
How come sister Xing Hua is here?
Before Jiu Zhu could call out, her hand was tugged, “Where are you from, how come you’re here?”
The maid of this courtyard, with a very serious face, dragged Jiu Zhu out of the courtyard, Jiu Zhu’s strength is small, how can she compete with a big maid, seeing sister Xing Hua close at hand, but was taken away, Jiu Zhu could not even shout out.
She was dragged out several yards, just as Miss Du came, wrinkling her eyebrows, “Stop!”
“Sixth girl…” Dongmei let go of her hand and said to Jiu Zhu, “This little maid was sneaking around outside the Qing Hua courtyard, behaving badly, and didn’t know what she was going to do, so the servant girl had to give the little maid to the managing sisters.”
“Nonsense!” Jiu Zhu grunted, rubbed the small hand that was clenched red, and shouted at Dong Mei without good grace, “I am following Princess Chao cautiously to the Du family as a guest, not a sneaky little maid.”
Dongmei froze, and as soon as she heard this her little face changed.
“Dongmei, you have a lot of nerve, come on, drag out and kneel for two hours and punish your salary for three months!” Miss Du said with a cold face.
How dare Dongmei refute, immediately answered.
“Jiu Zhu, are you okay?” The girl bent down and squatted to look at Jiu Zhu, who shook her head, “I’m fine, I just saw someone who looked like an acquaintance I knew and couldn’t help but go over and take a look, that Aunt Li from Qinghua Garden.”
The girl frowned, “That Aunt Li was a maid in the house before, and later became an aunt, what is the name of your acquaintance, do you want me to help you find out?”
“Thank you sister Du.” Jiu-zhu told them one by one, and Miss Du took them to heart, soon Princess Chao cao sent a maid to look for Jiu-zhu, Jiu-zhu and Miss Du said goodbye and went to find Princess Chao cao.
Princess Chao cao carried Jiu Zhu to the carriage, on the way, Jiu Zhu said everything except for Aunt Li, “Sister Du has a marriage contract, and that person refused to come to the door to propose marriage, so it is really unkind to consume Sister Du for nothing.”
The princess of cautiousness suddenly realized, “So this is the case, no wonder how to ask but refused to relent, Du family strict family education, clean family, the most is not tolerate this kind of thing.”
After finding the root of the disease, just prescribe the right medicine, Princess Chao cao was happy and kissed Jiu Zhu’s white and tender face twice, “Jiu Zhu, you are really a good boy, tell me what you want, I will get it for you!”
Jiu Zhu was surprised by the enthusiasm of Princess Chao cao and scratched her head, “Thank you, Princess, Jiu Zhu doesn’t lack anything, only one thing, when Princess goes to Du’s house in the future, can you take Jiu Zhu with you, Jiu Zhu likes Sister Du very much, Sister Du can also make cakes, they are delicious, and she has also punished a maid.”
Jiu-zhu told the whole story, and The princess was more and more satisfied with the girl, very measured girl, should be punished, this courage to be the mother-in-chief of the Wei family will certainly not be bad.
“Good, good, according to you.” Princess Chao cao nodded her head and answered.
After sending Jiuzhu back to the prince’s residence, Princess Chao ca ca was about to leave when Jiuzhu grabbed Princess Chao ca’s arm, “Princess, don’t forget our previous agreement.”
“I remember it all, I can’t forget it.” Princess Chao ca ca repeatedly promised, Jiuzhu let go and went into the house alone, Princess Chao ca looked at it, could not help but lose a smile, really a good ice and snow smart child.
If Jiu Zhu hadn’t found out the news, I’m afraid Princess Chao ca would have had to go through a lot of trouble. Miss Du was a girl that Princess Chao ca had long been interested in, and she had tried many times in front of Madam Du, but to no avail, and Princess Chao ca refused to die, so she thought of such a method.
And the nine beads did not disappoint Princess cautious.
“With a marriage contract?” Princess cautiously sighed when she saw Wei Xin’s face, “Yes, Miss Du is also a polite girl, she has a marriage contract, so how can she be close to you?
Wei Xin sat down on a chair, disappointed, “Yes, Miss Du is not a person who is greedy for the rich and the poor, if my son continues to ask for it, it will tarnish Miss Du’s reputation, and in the future, if Miss Du marries someone, she will be pinched.”
“You have thought it through.” Princess Chao ca ca was not sure whether she was relieved or not, just because of Wei Xin’s words, Princess Chao ca wanted to snatch Miss Du as her daughter-in-law, in the whole of northern Jinyin, apart from the Crown Prince, there was no one she dared to snatch.
The most important thing is to go to the Emperor of Northern Jinyin to give the marriage, who can say anything, but of course this is not the last resort, Princess Chao ca will not do so.
Wei Xin was lost in thought, not knowing what was going through her mind.
“Xin’er, if you really like Miss Du, we don’t have to give in, it’s good for a family to have a girl, I think Miss Du is a sensible girl.”
With these words, Princess Chao cao was telling Wei Xin that she supported Wei Xin’s pursuit of Miss Du.
“A melon twisted by force is not sweet…”
“The Du family is going to let Miss Du wait for two more years, and if there is no news after two years, they will let Miss Du get married.”
Wei Xin’s eyes wrinkled as she listened, “Which family is the one that has a marriage contract with Miss Du, and why isn’t it asking for her?”
Princess Chao cao shook her head, “This is not clear yet, you just follow His Highness to prepare the troops and horses, just leave the matter of Miss Du to mother, and make sure that the Du family will agree to this without losing a cent.”
Princess Chao cao already had a plan in mind, but it would take some time. These days Wei Xin and Zhao Chengjue both had too much to do, and it was more important to leave the important matters of the former dynasty to her as a mother.
When Wei Xin heard this, his ears could not help but redden and he was a little unnatural, so he cleared his throat and immediately said, “I will leave it to my mother to make arrangements, but I have something important to do first.”
The princess was afraid that she would ask something else and leave, and her eyes moved slightly as her red lips curled, and her fingertips hit the table, making a thumping sound. Remember, don’t draw attention to yourself.”
“Yes.”
Princess Chao cautiously wanted to investigate, and the clues were not far off, so we would soon know the result.
…
Jiu Zhu waited for Zhao Cheng Jue for a day at the mansion, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious it became, that Aunt Li of the Du family looked too much like Sister Xing Hua, even her voice was similar, only Jiu Zhu couldn’t be sure if this Aunt Li was Sister Xing Hua or not.
How can sister Xing Hua come here, and also gave a person as a young wife, what about the village chief’s elder brother?
No, it should be a mistake.
Jiu Zhu is uncertain and suspicious, like a seed of doubt planted in his heart, just waiting for another opportunity to go to the Du family, must ask a clear.
Zhao Chengjue was getting busier and busier these days, basically coming back at midnight and leaving before dawn, sometimes he couldn’t say a word to Jiu Zhu, who couldn’t last long enough to fall asleep by then, and when he opened his eyes Zhao Chengjue had already left.
No matter how busy Zhao Chengjue was, he would leave big words for Jiu Zhu. Jiu Zhu would follow behind Dr. Hasa every day after he finished learning the words, so the day passed quickly.
This day, the Du family sent a post to the house, saying that they invited Jiu Zhu to go as a guest, Jiu Zhu jumped three feet high and pulled Bi’er to go out, but when he reached the door he was stopped by housekeeper Lu.
“Miss, I’m afraid it’s not convenient for you to go to the Du family alone as a guest?” Butler Lu can’t afford to do that, Jiu Zhu is the person that Zhao Cheng Jue puts on the tip of his heart, if anything happens, Butler Lu’s life will be on the line.
Jiu Zhu crossed her arms, “Sister Du invited me, if I don’t go, isn’t it very rude?”
No matter what Jiu Zhu said, butler Lu did not let her leave, Jiu Zhu had no choice but to stomp her foot, “Then you go and send a letter to Princess Chao cautious.”
The princess was worried about not having the opportunity to go to the Du family, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately came, “Leave Jiu Zhu to this palace, and if anything happens, this palace will take care of it.”
The princess asked, “Why did Miss Du send you the post?”
“Maybe it’s inconvenient to come to the prince’s residence, last time sister Du even said she wanted to make some cakes for me, but she was delayed halfway, this time she is inviting me to have dim sum.”
Jiuzhu and Princess Chao cao are familiar with each other, so there is nothing to hide, that’s what is written on the invitation.
Princess Chao cao smiled and took it as Jiu Zhu’s family’s guilt for having been wronged at Du’s house last time, and Du’s family came to make amends and apologize.
The maid at the door greeted her early and froze when she saw Princess Chao ca, and immediately sent someone to report to Madam Du.
The first time I saw her, she said, “I’m not familiar with the place and I’m afraid, so I asked the princess to accompany me.”
The last time Jiu Zhu was humiliated by Dong Mei in the Du family, Mrs. Du is also informed, is indeed guilty, and Jiu Zhu is also the Crown Prince’s delicate guest, and saved the Empress, the identity is not ordinary, how dare the Du family offend, wait for several days also did not see any movement, the Du family this heart is always hanging, today saw Jiu Zhu, Mrs. Du repeatedly apologize.
“The last time you were aggrieved at the house, it was the Du family’s fault, but please be more tolerant, that do not understand the servant girl has been locked up, the girl want to beat or punish, the Du family will never say a word.”
Jiu Zhu raised her eyes and looked at Princess Chao cao, “What aggravation, what maid?”
Princess Chao ca ca met Jiu Zhu a total of three times, see once like once, bent down and reached out to pinch Jiu Zhu’s little face, really a smart and clever little girl, know what to say and what not to say, also not good to call people embarrassed.
“The maid’s inadvertent mistake is not to blame for the Du family, Mrs. Du does not need to be concerned.” Princess Chao cao personally helped Madam Du to stand up, and Madam Du was relieved to hear this.
“Jiu Zhu, don’t you want to try the pastries your sister Du made for you, go now, I’ll wait for you here, remember to come to me when you’re done eating.”
Princess Chao cautiously winked at Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu grinned and nodded, Madam Du immediately asked the maid by her side to send Jiu Zhu to find Du Yulan, the Du girl.
When Du Yulan saw Jiu Zhu coming, she entertained Jiu Zhu very warmly and sent away the maid who sent Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu intimately went forward and took Du Yulan’s hand, “Sister Du, the matter of that Aunt Li last time…”
“Just about to tell you about it, Aunt Li is from a very far away, where exactly, no one knows yet, Aunt Li was sold into the Li family by her mother, third brother saw her poor and brought back, usually Aunt Li silent, seldom out, low-key nature.”
Jiu Zhu listened to a slight frown, Du Yulan and said, “Today I also invited Aunt Li over, a moment you see Aunt Li, see if you recognize.”
The first thing you should not ask is not a word, Jiu Zhu immediately nodded when he heard this, if it really is sister Xing Hua, Jiu Zhu can certainly recognize.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re looking for.
Before Aunt Li could sit down, her hand was clasped by a small hand, “Sister Xing Hua!”
Aunt Li froze, unable to believe her ears, only to see the half-human tall Jiu Zhu truly in front of her eyes, as if in a dream.
“Sister Xing Hua, how come you are here?” Jiu Zhu’s stomach was full of questions.
Who knew that Aunt Li’s face changed slightly and drew away her hand, “You have mistaken me for someone else, I am not any Xing Hua.”
Jiu Zhu froze, Jiu Zhu and Xing Hua were neighbors before, and knew Xing Hua well, this is clearly sister Xing Hua in front of her, how could she not be.
“Sister Xing Hua, you are sister Xing Hua ah…” Jiu Zhu looked at Aunt Li with a puzzled face, but Aunt Li was impatient and was about to say something when she heard Du Yulan next to her speak up.
“Aunt Li, this is a delicate guest brought by the princess, do not be rude!”
Aunt Li smiled and immediately bowed her head, “Miss, the servant girl is a little unwell today, so I will go back to rest first, and come back to apologize to you another day.”
Du Yulan frowned, something was wrong with this Aunt Li.
“Xing Hua sister!” Jiu-zhu pulled Aunt Li’s hand and didn’t let go, her face was red with anxiety, “Sister Xing Hua, why don’t you recognize me, I’m Jiu-zhu.”
Aunt Li took a deep breath, the fist at her fingertips clenched tightly, her eyes were full of anger, “Miss Jiu Zhu, the servant girl is not Xing Hua, you really have mistaken her.”
“Impossible, you have the same smell as sister Xing Hua, you can’t fool me, and you also have a mole on your palm, sister Xing Hua also has it, why do you have it too?”
Jiu Zhu stubbornly thought that Aunt Li was Xing Hua, and couldn’t figure out why Xing Hua would disown herself and avoid her, Jiu Zhu was young which knew the twists and turns, and was determined to know why.
Aunt Li did not speak.
“Sister Xing Hua, how did you come from Lianshan Village, is it because I did not go back…”
The moment Jiu Zhu mentioned the three words Lianshan Village, Aunt Li finally couldn’t help herself, twisted around and jerked her arm away, Jiu Zhu was caught off guard by the force and thrown out, didn’t stand still and sat directly on the ground, frozen.
“Don’t pretend with me, the people of Lianshan Village are not mean to you two, especially you, who see you love you, Lianshan Village has been stable for decades never had anything happen, it is you who brought disaster to Lianshan Village, it is you who destroyed the whole Lianshan Village, what qualification do you have to mention Lianshan Village?”
Aunt Li has always been gentle and delicate since she entered the house, but this is the first time she has lost her temper so much, so she is very angry.
Jiu Zhu looked at Aunt Li with confusion, “Sister Xing Hua…”
“Don’t call me sister Xing Hua, if I could I’d rather never know you, you are a wolf, the whole village is buried for you, you are good enough to play innocent and pity, into the eyes of the princess, jade food, Jiu Zhu, you really impress people!”
“Aunt Li, don’t be reckless!” Du Yulan could not see past it, went forward to help Jiu Zhu stand up, Jiu Zhu some words but understood, but some words are vague, turned his head to look at Du Yulan, “Du sister, what do you mean by accompanying the funeral?”
Du Yulan pursed her lips, did not answer, only looked at Aunt Li, “Jiu Zhu is only a four-year-old child, you do not put the blame on Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu does not understand anything.”
Aunt Li has a ball of anger in her heart at the moment, she no longer cares about the etiquette and demeanor, humming at Du Yulan, “Girl, I advise you to stay away from this sweeper, I was just as you said before, blinded by her innocent appearance at a young age, Jiu Zhu, ask yourself how I treated you, it’s just…now saying this I don’t know this person in front of me, if you are not satisfied, I will punish myself.”
“You go down.” Du Yulan waved her hand at Aunt Li, who immediately turned her head and left without saying a word, with a determined figure, and soon left.
Jiu Zhu tightly tugged on Du Yulan’s hand, her small face was miserable white, she understood, something must have happened in Lianshan Village.
“Jiu Zhu, there may be some misunderstanding, you do not take it to heart, things are clear to find out.” Du Yulan comforted Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu still hasn’t reacted from Aunt Li’s words just now, Jiu Zhu never dreamed that one day sister Xing Hua would treat herself like this, that look was like looking at an enemy.
The Princess of Chao cao saw that Jiu Zhu’s face was very ugly, so she waved at Jiu Zhu, “What’s wrong?”
Madam Du was shocked, she thought Jiu Zhu was being bullied again, she was smiling like a flower before she came, but a moment later she was sad and about to cry, Madam Du immediately looked at Du Yulan, Du Yulan shook her head at Madam Du, Madam Du was puzzled, but she was slightly relieved, “Princess, I want to go back.
“Princess, I want to go back.” Jiuzhu’s voice was muffled, and Princess Chao cautiously saw that she had to stand up and take Jiuzhu with her to leave the Du family.
As soon as they left, Du Yulan told Madam Du everything that had just happened, and Madam Du’s face immediately sank, “Go and bring Aunt Li to me, and also invite Aunt Li’s parents over.”
The best thing to do is to ask what has happened.
In a short time, Li Xing Hua was brought here, and Mrs. Du reprimanded, “Tell me, what is going on today?”
The Du family’s family is clean and would never take in a woman of unknown origin, and Li Xing Hua had offended the delicate guest today and was causing trouble for the Du family.
Li Heng Hua lowered her head in silence, obviously the anger in her heart is not yet calm.
“Do you say?” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Li Heng Hua always closed her mouth, as if she remembered something unpleasant in the past, her small face was miserable white.
“Madam, the two Li family members are here.”
Madam Du smiled, her jaw lifted, and two people, Old Uncle Li and Dainiang Li, entered the door with restraint and uneasiness, and knelt down to Madam Du when they entered, “Greetings to Madam.”
Li Daniang saw Li Xing Hua kneeling beside her, her eyelids jumped, she thought Li Xing Hua had made some mistake, immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake, “Madam, Xing Hua reads little and does not know how to read, if she has made any mistake, please forgive me, Madam.”
As soon as Dainiang Li entered the door, she first admitted her mistake on behalf of Li Xinghua, who frowned slightly, but Mrs. Du said, “There are a few things you just have to answer truthfully.”
Li Daniang spent her whole life in the village, which has seen what the world, this is the first time to come to such a magnificent residence, the heart of the timid more than three points, as soon as you hear these words immediately nodded, “I will answer truthfully.”
“Are you villagers from Lianshan Village?” Mrs. Du’s eyes were sharp, looking at Li Daniang’s heart tingling, uncomfortable, too late to think then nodded and admitted it.
“Is there a four-year-old child in the village whose name is Jiu Zhu?” Mrs. Du asked again.
Once heard the name of nine beads, Li Daniang froze, and quickly nodded, “There is such a person, two years ago followed a wild doctor traveling to Lianshan Village, living next door to my house, nine beads is a fatherless and motherless orphans, picked up by this wild doctor, often in the village to dawdle with food and drink, and no one to take care of …”
When Mrs. Du heard this, she frowned, “You can’t denigrate the girl, not to mention that she is still a child who doesn’t know what to do!”
Li Daniang was shivered by Mrs. Du’s voice, Li Daniang did not know the status of Jiu Zhu in the capital today.
“I ask you again, why did you come to Kyoto, what happened to Lianshan Village?” Madam Du had a good impression of Jiu Zhu, a very well-behaved child, the most important thing was that the Empress and the Crown Prince were very fond of Jiu Zhu, as well as Princess Chao cautiously loved Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu’s status was then destined to be extraordinary.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into, and you’re a fatherless orphan.
The first time I heard this, my face changed, I hesitated and didn’t know if I should say it or not, but Mrs. Du slanted her eyes at Li Daniang, “Say what you have to say, don’t hide it!
Li Xinghua suddenly spoke, “half a year ago Lianshan Village is still a calm, one day at night came a lot of bandits, house to house robbery, from the east end of the village began to plunder, everyone hid, and then somehow, those bandits were bitten by poisonous things ran away, is the master of nine beads, left a lot of poisonous things to save the whole village, thought to chase away the The bad guys, the village can restore peace, but who knows five days later, those bandits are back, house to house began to search, named to see the nine beads, but the nine beads have disappeared.”
The group of bandits almost turned Jiu Zhu’s house upside down, searched for a jade pendant, but also refused to stop, who dares to stop will kill whoever, killed the red-eyed, villagers are afraid to go forward, the whole village was surrounded by people, those bandits a fire will be the whole village was burned.
Li Heng Hua family because of Li Da Bo’s leg disease, pushed Li Da Bo went to town to catch medicine, which avoided a disaster, came back to see the fire, almost lit up half of the sky, Li Heng Hua went to the village chief’s house, watched the village chief’s house was burned only a black residue, a family of five people were not spared.
Li Xing Hua family then fled to the town, no longer dare to mention the three words Lianshan Village, Li Danyang has a cousin in the town Liu family doing menial work, Li Danyang’s cousin had come to see Jiu Zhu once, this time in the Liu family saw Jiu Zhu, they told Li Danyang.
“If it were not for the misfortune that Jiu Zhu invited, hundreds of lives in Lianshan Village would not have died in vain, the whole village died for Jiu Zhu, she is good, came to the capital to enjoy the blessings.”
Li Xinghua grunted, if not then soft-hearted Li Xinghua hate to strangle the nine beads, to Lianshan Village hundreds of lives to accompany the funeral.
“Why do the bandits want Jiu Zhu?” Du Yulan could not help but ask, nine beads is just a four-year-old child, looking for nine beads and what is the use?
Li Xing Hua snickered, “because a jade pendant, the bandits who came to rob the village will be a jade pendant to pawn, nine out of ten beads is an unknown object, because of this piece of jade pendant to the entire Lianshan Village incurred a deadly disaster!”
Du Yulan silent for a while and asked, “Nine beads of that master, where is he?”
This time, without waiting for Li Xinghua to speak, Li Daniang immediately said, “What else can there be, ran away, this wild doctor is quite skillful, but the temper is very strange, according to reason, according to the wild doctor’s medical skills to the town, no, even here, as a doctor is more than enough, the village people but what a headache, a wild doctor a prescription can be cured, and do not take a penny. Over time, the people of the village also accepted this wild doctor.”
The reason why Jiu Zhu got into the eyes of the Empress is because of the medical skills, surrounded by such a high achiever teaching, no wonder Jiu Zhu knows a lot at a young age.
“A lot of people know the fame of the wild doctor, spend a lot of money to seek medical advice, this wild doctor’s temper is very eccentric, either is in the big openings, or is dead or alive are not saved, sometimes a long time away is ten days and a half months, nine beads that girl is eating the village rice grow up.”
Li Daniang is very dissatisfied with Master Qing, determined that Master Qing is because of offended what a great big man, do not dare to appear, will hide in the village of Lianshan.
Du Yulan listened to the sigh, the heart of the nine beads more compassionate, “no matter what, that is the matter of adults, nine beads simply do not know is also innocent.”
“Innocent?” Li Daniang shook his head, “that piece of jade pendant is nine beads, it is not possible to say that nine beads of the origin of what is not to be seen, Master Qing does not know what is calculating it, before looking at those small favors, the bandits are rushing to nine beads, the villagers of Lianshan Village were killed is also a fact, ask nine beads of a small girl has what ability to come to the capital, it can be seen that the means is not bad, and that master Qing, maybe the means is not bad. And the Qing master, maybe in the planning of what it.”
Mrs. Du’s face changed slightly when she heard the words of Li Dainiang believe half of the words, the first son of the wife of the Du was also present on the day of the full moon feast, a four-year-old child is really too precocious, stable, and the sky is not afraid of the earth, several imperial sons are followed by nine beads behind the turn, anyone who has contact with nine beads, are very fond of nine beads.
Jiu Zhu saved the Queen, the Northern Red Emperor almost to Jiu Zhu enrolment princess status, such a twisted matter, if not seen with their own eyes, Mrs. Du may not be willing to believe this fact.
This is all too coincidental, coincidental as if it could be arranged.
“Jiu-zhu has a different status now, if you can’t keep your mouth shut, no one will be able to save you when there is trouble.” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Li Daniang heard this immediately covered his mouth, but his face was white white white nodded.
“Go and arrange a place for the two Li family members to stay at the Du family for a few days.” Madam Du slanted her eyes at the maid beside her, that maid immediately nodded and took the three people, Dainiang Li and Uncle Li and Aunt Li, away.
“This is bad, causing trouble, I don’t know if Miss Jiuzhu will say anything she shouldn’t after she returns, if she is pursued, the Du family will get into trouble instead.” Mrs. Du looked at Du Yulan worriedly.
“Mother, my daughter thinks that this is only the one-sided words of the Li family, not enough to believe all of them, specifically what is going on in this may not be as the Li family said.” Du Yulan does feel that this matter is not simple, “after all, Jiu Zhu is only a woman, generations and dynasties, the daughter is not as honored as the male, why hide and prepare for what, the Empress and Princess are smart people, Jiu Zhu if there is something wrong, will certainly detect it.”
“Yulan, who can be wary of a four-year-old child?” Mrs. Du frowned, “Anyway, this matter should be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise my mother’s heart is unsettled, since the first time my mother met Jiu Zhu, this child which seems to come out of the village, there is an indescribable resourcefulness all over his body.”
Instead of being smart, it’s better to say that it’s noble, at a young age, it’s born with such a pink carving, the sky is not afraid of the nature, the other family’s four-year-old child will still be crying and screaming.
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
“Yulan, when the temple went to the border city very few people know, why can bring back a child, it is too coincidental.”
The more Mrs. Du thought about it, the more wrong it was, and her heart was not in the right place.
Du Yulan is not worried at all, “Mother, you underestimated His Highness’s tactics, although my daughter does not know why His Highness brought Jiu Zhu back to the house, but His Highness is not an ordinary person, when His Highness was also in the vicinity of Lianshan Village, must have checked long ago, only that His Highness concealed it and did not say to Jiu Zhu.”
Jiuzhu has not often mentioned the Lianshan Village with Du Yulan, the excitement and despondency on his face tangled with each other, mentioned Master Qing, also mentioned the apricot flower, if not for seeing the apricot flower today, Jiuzhu still does not know that something happened in Lianshan Village, Du Yulan believes that Jiuzhu is Jiuzhu, and not a scheming child, what has shown on the face, very simple and pure child.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
The company’s reputation has always been more important than anything else, and will not allow anyone to tarnish the reputation of the Du family.
“It’s better.” Du Yulan could see that Li Xing Hua did not like being in the Du family at all, and leaving would be a good thing for Li Xing Hua.
The three Li family members were guarded when they entered the courtyard, and several guards stood at the entrance. Li Daniang, who had ever seen such a situation, was immediately scared silly and clutched Li Xinghua’s hand, “Xinghua, what is going on here?
Li Daniang has become much less courageous since she was scared that time.
Li Xing Hua shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know.
“Xing Hua ah, is it that you have offended someone in the Du family, why did Madam Du mention that girl Jiu Zhu for good reason?” Li Da Bo was silent all the way and could not help but ask when he saw no one around.
Li Daniang heard this immediately angry look at Li Heng Hua, “Heng Hua, is it really so, Heng Hua ah, how do you so trample yourself, Lin Nan that short-lived ghost has died, you still think about what, let a good day but to toss, now well, even your father and I were left here, maybe that day will be poisoned to death, even a There is no one to collect the corpse!”
“You don’t know the rules of the capital, Xing Hua was born poor and has no one to rely on, so she can’t even stand up in the Du family.
Li DaBu was protective of XingHua, when they fled LianShan village, they had very little money, plus Li DaBu had to see a doctor and take medicine, before they reached the capital, the silver was gone, they were begging for food to get here.
The first time she was sold into the Du family, she happened to be taken in by the third young master of the Du family, and first became a maid and then became an aunt in a few days.
The first time she met Jiu Zhu in the Du family after a few months, it was something Xing Hua never thought of.
The moment the cold was brought up by Li Daniang, Heng Hua face white, the heart is as uncomfortable as a needle, if not for the weakness of Uncle Li, Heng Hua would like to head on the pillar, to find Lin Nan only good.
If there is no killing, Lin Nan’s health is gradually improving, and the Li family has begun to talk about marriage, perhaps soon after the two will be married, the culprit of all this is Master Qing and Jiu Zhu, how can Heng Hua not hate Jiu Zhu?
“As long as the young master gives birth to a big fat boy, the future status will be stable, as long as the young master’s heart can be grasped, maybe even do the main family, a sick child what is good, I do not believe my words…”
Li Daniang’s opinion of Xing Hua is not small, the heart is still holding anger, the tone is no better.
“Enough said, what is the use of saying this now, can change the status quo, do you think Xing Hua is as heartless as you?” Li Da Bo could not listen to it anymore, so he yelled at Li Daniang, who moved her mouth but did not dare to mention it again.
“Xing Hua, tell father, what happened today, we can think of a solution together as a family, people always want to live, let the past pass, good children do not think.” Li Da Bo softened his voice and looked at Li Xing Hua.
“I met Jiu Zhu today, Jiu Zhu is following the princess.” Li Heng Hua long sigh, one by one to tell what happened during the day.
“Ya, didn’t you hear wrong, Jiu Zhu actually lives in the prince’s residence?” Li Daniang heard this, eyes shining, the prince, that is the future to be the emperor ah, the entire northern Jinyin is all the emperor’s say.
“This girl Jiu Zhu is really lucky.” Li Daniang now finally came to his senses, “No wonder, no wonder Mrs. Du did not let me scold Jiu Zhu, it turns out that is afraid of the identity behind Jiu Zhu.”
Li Daniang’s eyes turned slightly, and even thought of going to join Jiu Zhu as soon as they got out, so that no one would dare to bully them anymore.
“It’s a pity, if I had known that the nine beads were in the prince’s residence, why would I have sent you to the Du family.” Li Daniang muttered a whisper, if you become the Prince’s aunt, then the Li family will be able to raise their eyebrows and stand in the capital, maybe in the future Xing Hua can also enter the palace to be a bride.

New article for collection
The military discipline: little wife is too abrasive
a promise of a thousand gold
The young general Rong wants to marry Huo Mingzhu, everyone said, spoiled the young general adults.
The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list.
The Rong family elders did not a promise, Huo Mingzhu reputation is too bad.
“Huo Mingzhu committed a crime I cover, I see who dares to move her, married into the Rong family I will be happy to spoil, I am not married to her!”
Rong Shaojun is determined to marry, as long as the little wife does not cry and want a divorce, are not a matter.
“Divorce! Divorce!” The first day of marriage Huo Mingzhu full of bruises and cries for divorce.
Rong Shaojun pointed to the empty wine bottles on the ground and accused, “Last night you said goodbye to singleness and tore up my clothes…”
Huo Mingzhu’s crying stopped abruptly, looked at the tattered clothes, and then looked at a grumpy Rong Shaojian, “divorce when I did not say!”
Rong Shaojun sucked his nose squeezed into the quilt, “daughter-in-law, to hug…”
“You this wife nonsense what, so deep in the mansion how many big rules, which is apricot flowers want to do what they want!”
The old man Li could not see it and said a few words about Dainiang Li, his face slightly unhappy, Dainiang Li grunted, but did not think, “Old man, I did not say anything wrong, now we are trapped in the Du family, the future does not know how to be sent down, you do not see that Mrs. Du’s face has been very ugly, there must be something to say.”
Li Daniang decided that the Du family will not easily let the three of them go, otherwise for no reason to lock the three of them up for what.
Li Da Bo was silent and did not refute Li Daniang’s words.
“Since Jiu Zhu came to Lianshan Village, Xing Hua has been making clothes and shoes for her, Jiu Zhu is a grateful girl, young and heartless, we are Jiu Zhu’s relatives, if we have the prince’s house as a support in the future, the Du family will be weighed and dare not take us easily.”
Li Danyang’s words just fell, Li Xinghua stared at Li Danyang, sneering, “did not you say that nine beads is an ominous person, will bring us bad luck, and may also let and kill, how now for good reason again to come forward?”
“This…” Li Daniang was choked by Li Xing Hua’s words, and quickly said, “That is not the past, the child is so lucky, can be in the eyes of the Crown Prince, how will be a bad, and because of the special identity of the nine beads, will attract trouble, but This is the foot of the emperor, who dares to be reckless in the prince’s house?”
Li Daniang the more she said the more firmly she thought, must think of leaning on the crown prince’s house is.
Li Xing Hua snickered, and ignored Li Daniang’s words, not only this emotion is also a bit agitated, “to go you go, I will never go, if the original Jiu Zhu did not come to Lianshan Village would not have happened later, Lianshan Village villagers lost their lives because of Jiu Zhu, if she did not attract the bandits, Brother Lin would not have died! “
Lin Nan’s death is not a small blow to Li Heng Hua, more can not let go.
Li Daniang also want to say something else, but by Li Da Bo fierce glare, “Xing Hua is right, to go you go, we go to the Prince’s House is worse than a servant, where the head of the water is deeper, a careless will lose their lives.”
The first time I heard this, I was shocked, and I moved my mouth, but I didn’t speak again.
…
“Jiuzhu, Jiuzhu you walk slowly.” Princess cautiously just got off the carriage, nine beads down the ground a smoke to run inside the house, little face white, princess cautiously afraid of what will happen, chased up.
The two palms of the hands were abraded and blood came out, and the pain was hot and hot.
“Butler Lu, where is His Highness, where is His Highness?”
Butler Lu saw Jiu Zhu look like this for the first time since he met her, and immediately said, “His Highness hasn’t come back yet, what’s wrong?”
Before she went out, she was fine, how come she became like this after a trip back?
“My servant has met the princess.” Butler Lu saw Princess Chao ca’s windy arrival, so he went up to salute, but Princess Chao ca didn’t care about Butler Lu and bent down to look at Jiu Zhu, who looked lost in thought, “Jiu Zhu, what happened, tell me, I will do it for you.”
Jiu Zhu endured all the way, aggrieved and angry, involuntarily remembered the words of sister Xing Hua, finally wow, a head stuck into the arms of Princess Chao ca, crying on the breath, no matter how Princess Chao ca asked, just refused to speak, his voice is almost dumb crying.
“Go and send a letter to His Highness.” Princess Chao cao suddenly said to housekeeper Lu.
Butler Lu hesitated, but when he saw Jiu Zhu crying for His Highness, and in accordance with His Highness’ love for Jiu Zhu, Butler Lu gritted his teeth and agreed, and personally went to find Zhao Chengjue.
Zhao Chengjue, who was busy with military affairs, heard that someone was coming from his house, his brow was slightly wrinkled, and he subconsciously thought of Jiu Zhu, his jaw was raised, “Let him in!”
“Your Highness, Jiu Zhu is in trouble and is crying to see you, no amount of coaxing is good enough.” Butler Lu helplessly approached Zhao Chengjue and muttered in his ear, Zhao Chengjue slanted his eyes at Butler Lu, “But what happened?”
“This morning, when I went out with Princess Chao caution, I was fine, but when I came back, I looked like this.
Zhao Chengjue frowned, although Jiu Zhu is young but definitely not a child who is unreasonable, there must be something hidden in it, immediately stood up, “Go back to the house.”
The housekeeper saw that the trip was indeed not in vain, his own highness still cared about JiuZhu, Zhao ChengJue rushed back, but half an hour’s work and came back, striding into the house, before entering the hall heard the sound of crying, crying gradually weak and choking.
Zhao Chengjue counted the hours, nine beads at least three hours crying, subconsciously frowned, speed up the pace, as soon as you enter the door to see crying like nine beads, nine beads eyes are swollen, since nine beads came to the prince’s residence, has not cried so much, it can be seen that things happen not small.
“You can come back.” Princess Chao cautiously, coaxing can not coax Jiu Zhu, but see her crying sadly, Princess Chao cautiously also followed the heartache.
Zhao Chengjue gave a faint hint, raised his eyes to look at Jiu Zhu, waved at Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu got off the ground and flew into Zhao Chengjue’s arms, his little shoulders shrugging.
Zhao Chengjue didn’t ask a word, his palm patting Jiu Zhu’s back, soothing Jiu Zhu’s emotions, and only after Jiu Zhu had stopped crying did Zhao Chengjue ask, “Tell me.”
“I want to go back to Lianshan Village, sister Xinghua said that everyone in Lianshan Village was buried with her, this is false right, how could people in Lianshan Village die?”
Zhao Chengjue frowned, no wonder he cried like this, looked at Jiu Zhu voice softly said, “Slowly say…”
Jiu Zhu slowly regained her emotion and told them all about her encounter with Xing Hua at Du’s house. Zhao Cheng Jue frowned and let Jiu Zhu meet the people of Lianshan Village, which was tricky.
Zhao Chengjue raised his eyes and looked at Princess Chao ca, who stood up, “I still have some things to do in my house, so I’ll leave first.”
As soon as Princess Chao ca left, Zhao Cheng Jue sent all the people away and held Jiu Zhu on his lap, patiently coaxing, “Jiu Zhu, something has indeed happened in Lianshan Village.”
Jiu Zhu’s crying stopped abruptly, her tears still hanging in her eyes, and she looked at Zhao Cheng Jue in a daze, who tried his best to speak in a way that Jiu Zhu could understand.
“Jiu-zhu, when I was in Lianshan Town, I sent someone to inquire about Lianshan Village and prepare to send you back, but at that time Lianshan Village had already suffered…”
Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with open eyes, and for a moment did not react to the meaning of these words, Zhao Cheng Jue waited for a while before Jiu Zhu asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me why Lian Shan Village was in trouble?”
“The exact cause of what has not been found out.”
Although Jiu Zhu was only four years old, she already understood some things, what it meant that all the villagers of Lianshan Village were in trouble, Jiu Zhu already understood.
“What about Master Qing?”
Zhao Chengjue shook his head, “is looking, when the Lianshan Village accident, Master Qing should not be in the village, just the whereabouts are not known.”
How many villagers in Lianshan Village in total, in addition to the three members of the Li family, there are two less, Jiu Zhu is one of them, nine out of ten is Master Qing.
“Bad egg, why did not you tell me, I do not believe!” Jiu Zhu twisted and struggled to get off the ground, “I want to go back to Lianshan Village, I don’t believe it, you all deliberately deceived me, I was the one who recruited the bandits, they were all buried with me for me…”
Zhao Chengjue heard this again and frowned, asking in a deep voice, “Jiu Zhu, who told you this?”
Jiu Zhu deflated her mouth and cried so hard that she didn’t listen to any of the advice. Finally, she was so tired of crying that Jiu Zhu couldn’t open her eyes and slept in the crook of Zhao Cheng Jue’s arm.
Zhao Chengjue frowned and got up to put Jiu Zhu on the collapse, the little one still had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes and was choking from time to time, she was scared to death.
“Send someone to the Du family immediately and bring those three people here!” Zhao Chengjue stood under the porch and ordered in a cold voice.
“Yes!”
Zhao Chengjue instructed the guards to bring all the documents and military affairs back to the residence, rubbing his brow, butler Lu came forward, “Your Highness, would you like to have dinner?”
“Prepare it, come back in an hour.”
I’m sure Jiu Zhu still had an empty stomach, so Zhao Cheng Jue thought about it and let Jiu Zhu sleep for a while before calling her up to eat, butler Lu knew what Zhao Cheng Jue meant as soon as he heard this and nodded in response.
But in half an hour’s time, Li Xing Hua’s family was brought to the house, and the three of them were kneeling in the hall, frightened by the Prince’s house.
Li Daniang only wanted to come over to the prince’s residence during the day, but she didn’t expect to come at night, which was a bit unbelievable, and she was surprised and apprehensive.
“Xing Hua, once you see the Prince, you can not talk nonsense ah.” Li Daniang was smart for a moment, can make the crown prince personally ordered the three to enter the house, must be related to the matter of Lianshan Village.
Li Heng Hua lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
“Xing Hua his father ah, this big family rules are a lot, in case of saying something wrong we can not escape, really do not have to be stubborn, and the crown prince is not happy, Lianshan Village matter has passed, and why do not dwell on it.”
Li Daniang lowered her voice and advised in a whisper, Li Dabu was on Li Daniang’s side this time, reaching out and tugging on Li Xinghua’s sleeve, “Xinghua, listen, let’s not get into trouble.”
Li Xing Hua raised his eyes, just in time to fall into a figure in the eyes, the man’s posture is upright stunning face, a black tunic chest embroidered with hovering and lying flying dragon, the dragon teeth and claws, at any time may fly into the sky, straight into the clouds, simple dress, the aura of the body is pressed people can not breathe, Li Xing Hua was a glance stared at the body tingling.
Zhao Chengjue took a big step forward and sat on the chair in front of him, squinting at Li Xing Hua, “You are Li Xing Hua.”
“Yes.” Li Xing Hua nodded.
Zhao Chengjue withdrew his eyes very thinly and asked again, “Give a full account of what you know about Lianshan Village.”
The two families of the Li family were also stunned by the person in front of them, Li Da Bo was afraid to speak, Li Daniang hardened her head, the one in front of her is much more difficult than Madam Du, nothing needs to be said, alone is to sit there, a look will call people’s hearts and fears.
“Slave servant Li kowtowed to His Royal Highness, I know what happened in Lianshan Village those days.” Li Daniang was about to open her mouth, but Li Xinghua preempted her and said, “It was because of Jiu Zhu that the bandits were introduced to Lianshan Village!”
“Xing Hua!” Li Daniang was shocked by Li Xinghua’s words, her back was cold, she reached out and tugged Li Xinghua, “Don’t be ridiculous, Jiu Zhu is just a child who doesn’t know what to do, how can she be related to the bandits?”
“The bandits killed all the people in the village to ask for the whereabouts of Jiu Zhu, but unfortunately, Jiu Zhu escaped…”
Li Xinghua was still thinking, if the nine pearls were still in Lianshan Village, the bandits would not have died if they had found the pearls.
Zhao Chengjue’s eyebrows were wrinkled to the point of crushing flies, one hand propped up on his knee, his tall body slightly leaning forward, “And how do you know that without the Nine Pearls, no bandits would have gone to Lianshan Village? I remember that before this happened to Lianshan Village, there were also a group of bandits, and in the end, it was because of the Nine Pearls that saved your entire village, so why are you slandering a four-year-old child instead?”
Zhao Chengjue guessed that the bandits must have accidentally leaked the news that time, or leaked the jade pendant and had it brought to their attention, which led to the subsequent rampant bandit killing.
“Your Highness loves Jiu Zhu, so naturally you are helping Jiu Zhu to speak, this is the truth, before Jiu Zhu came to Lianshan Village, the village has never had any bandits, Jiu Zhu is the unknown person!”
Li Heng Hua bite is nine beads to bring the disaster, face and a few stubborn.
“And how do you know that the jade pendant is the nine pearls, that day you were not present, how do you know that the bandits are looking for the person is the nine pearls?”
Zhao Chengjue’s series of questions made Li Xinghua a little resistant, murmuring his lips, but for a long time did not say a reason.
“Does this matter still need to be said, only Jiu Zhu is an outsider, but Jiu Zhu is fine, did not know beforehand…”
“Strong words, if Jiu Zhu knew in advance, why would he harm the people of your Lianshan Village? Besides, what ability does Jiu-zhu have to know about this in advance?” Butler Lu couldn’t even hear it anymore, which Jiu-zhu had so much heart.
“That is not because Jiu Zhu’s identity was exposed, can not stay in Lianshan Village, so they left the village in advance, leaving a pile of misfortune to the people of Lianshan Village to bear, otherwise Jiu Zhu does not have a weak heart why to leave Lianshan Village?” Li Heng Hua insisted that this matter was brought about by the nine beads.
Butler Lu choked, this woman was too unreasonable.
“Your Highness, don’t listen to Xing Hua’s nonsense, it’s not like that, Xing Hua’s beloved also died under the bandit’s knife, Xing Hua couldn’t accept it for a while even her brain was not good enough.” Li Daniang saw Zhao Chengjue’s face changed, and said with a stiff upper lip, “It’s just that Jiu Zhu suddenly disappeared overnight, which is hard to accept, so people think that Jiu Zhu is related to the bandits.
Saying this, Li Daniang’s bottom is a little short of breath, after all, is no evidence of things can not be said.
“I have inquired long ago, it is clearly the mark of the phoenix, even Jiu Zhu herself does not know that this figure is on her body, if it is an ordinary person how can there be such a birthmark on the body?”
Li Xinghua said all the words she had been holding back for a long time, “If it was ordinary bandits, they would only seek money, why did they kill all the people in Lianshan Village, those people did not seek money, the only explanation is Jiu Zhu!”
Zhao Chengjue’s brow furrowed tightly, nine beads back pattern matter, Zhao Chengjue does not know, if it is true as Li Henghua said, nine beads must have been targeted.
“Xing Hua…” Li Daniang was already shocked by Li Xing Hua’s words and didn’t know what to do, her face was pale and she and Uncle Li curled up into a ball.
Zhao Cheng Jue slowly stood up, looking at Li Xing Hua from above, “I do not care how you think, Jiu Zhu is also a victim, the murder of Lianshan Village is also not Jiu Zhu’s wish, Lianshan Village matter I will pursue to the end, I do not want to hear from the three of you about the word to denigrate Jiu Zhu, this is the end, understand?”
Zhao Chengjue’s eyes flickered in the corners of the cold light, the two Li family shivered, nodding repeatedly, Li Xinghua clenched her lips, her eyes clearly still have the intention of reluctance.
“Your Highness, is this intended to defend nine beads, or is it that the matter of Lianshan Village your Highness is also involved in it, I heard that when the accident at Lianshan Village, your Highness also happened to be in the vicinity of Lianshan Town, nine beads is a good fortune to be in your Highness’s favor.”
Zhao Chengjue lifted his foot and kicked Li Xing Hua, “How dare you!”
Li Xing Hua was not lightly kicked by this kick, the chest vaguely painful, there is a fishy sweet taste in the throat, but Li Xing Hua swallowed hard.
“Your Highness forgive me, it’s all because Xing Hua doesn’t know what to do, Xing Hua’s brain is also not good, stimulated by the Lianshan Village is not light before the mouth, please Your Highness forgive Xing Hua, if you want to kill, kill me.”
Li Da Bo rushed forward and kowtowed to Zhao Cheng Jue, Zhao Cheng Jue looked on with cold eyes, Li Da Bo kowtowed loudly every time, and soon his forehead was blue and bleeding, Li Xing Hua looked on and clenched her teeth, “Father…”
“Lone words, did you hear?” Zhao Chengjue if not for the sake of the nine beads, long ago these three people will be clean, just keep still some use.
Li Xing Hua saw Li Da Bo’s shaking body, gritted his teeth and crawled over to Zhao Cheng Jue and kowtowed, “Yes, I will not say another word to outsiders, please spare my father, if you have any punishment, just come at me.”
Zhao Chengjue slanted his eyes at Butler Lu, “Find a courtyard for these three.”
Butler Lu nodded his head in understanding.
Zhao Cheng Jue lifted his feet and left, looking at the sky and went to the study. Jiu Zhu was still asleep, but Zhao Cheng Jue suddenly remembered Li Xing Hua’s words and picked Jiu Zhu up from the couch, who grunted twice but did not wake up.
Zhao Chengjue’s movements are very gentle, slowly untie Jiu Zhu’s clothes to reveal the back, Zhao Chengjue’s eyes moved slightly, Jiu Zhu’s back really has a pattern, the bird’s pattern is very clear, waving wings at any time may soar into the sky, the colorful tail, is clearly a phoenix, Jiu Zhu subconsciously is not allowed to touch her back, even to change clothes is also Jiu Zhu himself to change, Jiu Zhu’s hands are very strong, Xu is clear master’s instructions, so no one noticed.
To JiuZhu put on the clothes, wait for a while to wake up JiuZhu, JiuZhu rubbed his eyes as if he had a dream, his head was drowsy, his body was soaked.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
Jiu Zhu nodded at Zhao Cheng Jue and stuck her little head into Zhao Cheng Jue’s arms, dazed and confused between reality and her dream.
“Your Highness, is Master Qing going to be okay?” Jiu Zhu’s hoarse voice was very piercing, and Zhao Cheng Jue nodded, “That’s natural, Master Qing will definitely be fine.”
“What about those people in Lianshan Village?” Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with confused eyes, Zhao Cheng Jue sighed, “Jiu Zhu, it’s already happened, I promise you that I will get justice for them.”
Jiu-zhu’s face was white, but she didn’t cry anymore, her two hands were tugging on Zhao Chengjue, Zhao Chengjue didn’t notice Jiu-zhu’s difference, he carried Jiu-zhu to the hall to eat, expecting to coax Jiu-zhu to eat, but he didn’t expect Jiu-zhu to open her mouth to eat without crying.
In the end, Jiu Zhu was too young to have experienced this kind of thing, and she couldn’t leave Zhao Cheng Jue for a moment. That night, Jiu Zhu got a fever and her body was hot, so she was given medicine by Zhao Cheng Jue, and her fever didn’t go down until almost dawn.
Zhao Chengjue was so busy with one chore after another that he didn’t even have time to squint and sleep, during which Wei Xin came once.
“Is Jiu Zhu okay?”
Zhao Chengjue pursed his lips and finished reading the newly delivered expedited paperwork, his brow furrowed, “I got a fever last night and have fallen asleep.”
Wei Xin nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, then said, “The Fifth Prince of Southern Jiang fell off his horse and almost lost his life, most of the people who supported the Fifth Prince have leaned on the Grand Prince, and the Grand Prince of Southern Jiang is bound to ascend to the throne as Emperor.”
Zhao Chengjue let out a long sigh, “After all, there is still such a battle, I heard that Southern Jiang is also recruiting troops at the moment, to compete with Northern Jinyin for Biancheng.”
“The Grand Prince of Southern Jiang is indeed moving a lot, but his actions are impressive, the internal affairs of Southern Jiang have become a mess, but he still has the heart to go to war with Northern Jinyin.” Wei Xin’s tone was full of sarcasm.
“Xu is the same as we thought, want to take Northern Jinyin by surprise, everyone thought that Southern Jiang is very chaotic, will not send troops at this time, want to surprise…” Zhao Chengjue frowned, at this time Jiuzhu side of the accident, too bad, to really go to war, Zhao Chengjue simply do not feel comfortable to leave Jiuzhu in the prince’s residence.
“One more thing, news has come from Dongming, it would be best if Beijin and Dongming could join forces against Nan Jiang.”
Although Wei Xin couldn’t figure out why Dong Ming would make a move at this time, it would be good for Bei Jinn, and the relationship between Bei Jinn and Dong Ming was like hand and foot at the moment.
Zhao Chengjue was slightly surprised, but soon thought of something, “My grandmother was killed by the Southern Jiang people, and my grandfather has been thinking about this debt for a long time.”
Zhao Chengjue’s maternal grandfather was Xiao Wei, the right minister of Dongming.
The two daughters are the mothers of one country and are favored by all.
“You should go into the palace first and ask for clarification.” Zhao Chengjue couldn’t leave, so he had to let Wei Xin go, who nodded and quickly left.
At about noon, Zhao Chengjue visited Jiu Zhu once. Jiu Zhu was still sleeping and did not wake up, having slept for two days straight.
“Are you hungry?” Zhao Chengjue picked Jiu Zhu up, and Jiu Zhu rubbed her eyes and nodded.
Zhao Chengjue personally fed Jiu Zhu a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, which was Jiu Zhu’s favorite, and Jiu Zhu didn’t refuse, drinking it one bite at a time with her mouth open along with the spoon, and soon the bowl was at the bottom.
“Do you want to go out for a walk and get some air?” Zhao Chengjue asked again.
Jiu Zhu nodded and reached out to hold onto Zhao Cheng Jue’s clothes tightly. Zhao Cheng Jue was worried that Jiu Zhu had just woken up and had not recovered, so he held Jiu Zhu and sat on the porch for a while, and Jiu Zhu sat on Zhao Cheng Jue’s lap, not making any noise, not making any fuss, and not talking.
“Jiu Zhu, do you have anything to say to me?” Zhao Chengjue lowered his head and looked at Jiu Zhu.
Jiu Zhu shook her head at Zhao Cheng Jue, and for three days in a row Jiu Zhu did not speak, Zhao Cheng Jue realized that something was wrong, no matter what he said to Jiu Zhu, he either nodded or shook his head, but refused to speak, and when the doctor was called, he only said that Jiu Zhu was unwilling to speak on her own, and that there was nothing unusual about Jiu Zhu’s voice.
Jiu Zhu is even more dependent on Zhao Cheng Jue than before, and wherever Zhao Cheng Jue goes, Jiu Zhu will follow, and she won’t let go of her hand even when she sleeps.
Zhao Chengjue let out a long sigh.
“Your Highness, Madam Du and Miss Du are here to visit.” Butler Lu delivered the invitation.
Zhao Chengjue frowned and was about to say that he would not see them, but then thought better of it and let them in, “Jiu Zhu, Miss Du is probably here to see you, so go and meet them.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“My wife/my daughter pays respects to Your Highness.” Madam Du and Du Yulan bowed to Zhao Chengjue.
Zhao Chengjue waved his hand, and Butler Lu immediately showed the two tea as they took their seats.
“Jiu Zhu?” Du Yulan waved her hand at Jiu Zhu, who kept her head down and refused to look up, only staying by Zhao Cheng Jue’s side, pretending not to hear whatever Du Yulan said.
After sitting for just one incense burner, Jiu Zhu tugged on Zhao Chengjue’s sleeve, and Zhao Chengjue slowly stood up, “Send the guests away.”
Mrs. Du was still confused, but Du Yulan reached out and tugged on Mrs. Du, and the two of them left the prince’s house together.
“I heard that Jiu Zhu has been sick for a few days, that day Li Xing Hua’s words really frightened Jiu Zhu, children are still small.” Du Yulan could see that Zhao Chengjue was very good to Jiu Zhu, but Jiu Zhu’s state at the moment was a bit worrying.
“The first day a maid enters the house, the master takes a fancy to her and causes trouble for the Du family.” Mrs. Du sighed repeatedly, if she had known that Li Xinghua was such a person, Mrs. Du would never have let Li Xinghua come to the Du family, which had caused such trouble for no reason.
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
Mrs. Du thought about it and was still not sure, pulling Du Yulan, “Tomorrow is the 15th day, let’s pack up and go to the temple for a few days, eat fasting and pray for Jiu Zhu.”
Mrs. Du is anxious for JiuZhu to get well quickly, this matter quickly past only good, otherwise so has been hanging, really sit and lie down, not a moment can not be quiet mind.
“Good.” Du Yulan nodded her head and answered.
…
Zhao Chengjue accompanied Jiu Zhu for two hours, Jiu Zhu didn’t say a word, and went into the house to play with himself, looking vacant and like he couldn’t get interested in anything.
“Jiu-zhu, I’m going to get something from the front, I’ll be back in a minute.” Zhao Chengjue said.
Jiu Zhu nodded and watched Zhao Cheng Jue leave.
An incense stick later, Li Daniang entered with freshly baked cakes in her hand, keeping Zhao Chengjue’s instructions in mind, and smiled at Jiu Zhu, “Jiu Zhu, come and try the cakes made by Daniang.”
Jiu Zhu heard a familiar voice and looked up, Li Daniang was just about to approach Jiu Zhu’s side, Jiu Zhu looked at Li Daniang with a wary face, her small body shrank back.
“Jiu-zhu, I am Li Daniang ah, do you not recognize Li Daniang?” Li Daniang smiled and stepped forward, her attitude could not be more friendly.
Li Daniang every step closer, Jiu Zhu will become more and more agitated, reaching out to a vase resting on the bed swung down, viciously smashed on the floor, a loud bang, Li Daniang also froze fell did not dare to go forward again.
“You child, how to see Li Dainiang still do not recognize it?” Li Danyang pretended to speak as if joking.
Before finishing, Jiu Zhu got on the couch and waved the bottles on the couch to the floor, and looked at Dainiang Li with red eyes that were out of control.
“Jiu-zhu!” Zhao Chengjue stepped forward and took Jiu Zhu into his arms, covering Jiu Zhu’s eyes, and patted Jiu Zhu’s back with his other hand to calm Jiu Zhu’s emotions.
“Get out!” Zhao Chengjue slanted his eyes at Li Daniang, who dared to retort and immediately turned his head and left.
Jiu Zhu was still agitated, Zhao Cheng Jue confined Jiu Zhu tightly in his arms and patted Jiu Zhu’s back, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
It took a while for Jiu Zhu’s emotions to calm down, but Zhao Cheng Jue’s frown was getting tighter and tighter. After calming Jiu Zhu down, Zhao Cheng Jue immediately sent someone to bring in Imperial Doctor Zhong.
“What happened to Jiu Zhu, why did she turn into this state? When will she recover and heal?”
The doctor sighed, “Jiu Zhu is a heart disease, she was stimulated and couldn’t accept it, so she became like this, it’s a process, it needs to be slowly adjusted and opened up to recover, as for the time, I’m not sure, it can be as fast as three to five months, or as slow as three to five years.”
Hearing the words of Imperial Doctor Zhong, Zhao Chengjue’s eyes flashed with pain and anger, he should not have let Jiu Zhu go out if he had known.
As long as Zhao Chengjue was around, Jiu Zhu rarely lost her temper, Zhao Chengjue left a hundred words a day Jiu Zhu could complete them all, no matter how many methods Zhao Chengjue used, Jiu Zhu just wouldn’t open her mouth to speak, sometimes sitting for hours at a time.
…
“How could Jiu-zhu be like this now?” Princess Chao cautiously blamed herself, worried night can not sleep, a good little girl all day carefree, people love, Princess Chao cautiously like, but overnight became like this, Princess Chao cautiously intestines are almost regretful.
“I can’t blame my mother for this, but who would have thought that the Li family would come to the capital and meet Jiu Zhu by chance?”
Wei Xin reassured the cautious princess that Jiu Zhu had been to only a handful of places in Kyoto since she came to the city, and had not even been to the Princess’s residence, but she had met Li Xing Hua after a visit to the Du family.
“Besides, this matter can’t be hidden, Jiu Zhu will know sooner or later.”
Wei Xin had met Jiu Zhu several times and had heard Jiu Zhu talk about Lianshan Village.
“It’s that Li Xinghua who shouldn’t have put the blame on Jiuzhu. Jiuzhu is only four years old, so she doesn’t know how to understand the twists and turns.
Princess cautiously wanted to tear up Li Xing Hua’s mouth. Princess cautiously inquired clearly before and after, but because Li Xing Hua’s old flame was killed by the bandits, Li Xing Hua could not accept the reality and put the blame on Jiu Zhu.
Wei Xin did not refute this. Wei Xin had also heard of Xing Hua’s name from Jiu Zhu, who said that Xing Hua was the best person in the world for her and that her feelings were not ordinary.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, “If she was really a chaste and virtuous woman, she would have gone with her a long time ago, so why did she come all the way to the Du family and go through all the trouble of becoming an aunt and pretending to be a noble woman?
Wei Xin sighed, “Mother, it’s already happened, it’s useless to talk about it, but in a few days, His Highness will leave for the expedition.
Jiu Zhu does not allow anyone other than Zhao Cheng Jue to contact her, and once she gets close to her, she is as mad as if she had gone mad. If it was in the past, it would have been fine, and she would have recovered with time, but now she is afraid it will get worse.
Princess Chao cautiously rubbed her brow and looked at Wei Xin with a sad face, “This child understands what’s going on in her heart, and she’s smart and clever, so I can’t do anything even if I want to compensate.”
If Jiu Zhu was willing, the cautious princess was willing to accept Jiu Zhu as her daughter and treat Jiu Zhu with all her heart and soul, as long as Jiu Zhu could get better, she would have to spend all her money.
“Your Highness means that this matter should not be mentioned to the Queen, who is still pregnant.” Wei Xin suddenly said to Princess Chao cautiously.
“These days the two little highnesses are talking about the nine pearls all day long, and the mother is also thinking about…hey, it’s just that I know what to do, I’ll deal with the mother’s side, you just help the highnesses.” The cautious princess nodded her head.
For several days in a row, Jiu Zhu was like that, if she was alone, she just stayed in the house, not going anywhere and not getting close to anyone, unless she had Zhao Cheng Jue with her, occasionally she would follow her to the hall to eat, but even then she still refused to say a word.
Zhao Chengjue would guide Jiu Zhu every day, and Jiu Zhu listened in ignorance, but the knot in his heart still wouldn’t pass.
“Go to sleep.” Zhao Chengjue patted Jiu Zhu’s shoulder, Jiu Zhu nodded and crawled on her hands and knees to the collapse, lying on the pillow obediently, slightly different from her old four-legged self, quietly, looking at Zhao Chengjue with her round eyes open.
Zhao Chengjue sighed silently.
The next day, Princess Chao ca came to visit, Jiu Zhu saw Princess Chao ca as if she didn’t know her, her body dodged back, and Princess Chao ca didn’t dare to go forward, but only looked at Zhao Cheng Jue.
“Your Highness, I have a few words to say to you alone.”
Zhao Chengjue stood under the corridor, Jiu Zhu was in the house and could see Zhao Chengjue at a glance through the window, Princess cautiously sighed, “The young grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was four or five years old when he inadvertently saw the tragic death of a maid. I don’t know who said that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice went to find a senior monk to drive away the evil spirits in the house, and within a few days the child returned to normal.
Princess Chao ca ca has been thinking privately, as soon as she learned about this, Princess Chao ca immediately rushed to Zhao Chengjue, no matter if it works, but it is good to try, in case it works.
Zhao Chengjue did not frown for a long time before he said, “Jiu Zhu is different…”
Jiu Zhu is smart and clever, and can see through everything at once. After Li Xing Hua’s words last time, Jiu Zhu kept thinking about it and felt that it was her fault, and held on to it, and every time Zhao Cheng Jue looked into Jiu Zhu’s eyes, he could see the guilt, self-blame, and remorse.
Therefore, Zhao Chengjue concluded that Jiu Zhu was not a wicked spirit, this is a heart disease, Jiu Zhu must let herself think about it, otherwise no one can persuade.
Princess Chao cautiously pursed her lips, “Since this is the case, you will make proper arrangements for Lianshan Village, bury those bones, rebuild Lianshan Village, heart disease still needs heart medicine, maybe Jiu Zhu will slowly get better after seeing a painful cry, after all, this is not a matter.”
This is to the heart of Zhao Chengjue, Zhao Chengjue also have this heart, the current situation is forced, no one knows when to take the troops to Biancheng, if the war with South Jiang, it is not known when to return, leaving Jiu Zhu alone in the house, will only be more and more serious illness.
So to cure Jiu Zhu’s illness, it must be done as soon as possible.
“Going to Biancheng, Lianshan Village is also a necessary place to pass through, it’s good.” Zhao Chengjue could arrange for some people to go to Lianshan Village and make proper arrangements, Zhao Chengjue could take Jiu Zhu with him along the way, so the day should not be too bad.
Princess Chao cautiously looked back at the little person lying on the window, her heart was sore, it was hard to feel.
“Auntie need not blame herself, this matter will be known by Jiu Zhu sooner or later.” Zhao Chengjue advised, but did not blame Princess Chao caiau.
Princess cautiously nodded and asked Zhao Chengjue to make arrangements as soon as possible, then left the courtyard again heart still thinking about Li Heng Hua, let someone lead the way, Lu butler which dared not obey, Lu butler is watching with his own eyes a lively and lovely little girl has become like this, the heart is also not a taste, without saying a word and led Princess cautiously to go.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the picture.
Li Daniang was a little stunned when she first saw a rich woman coming, “This lady?”
“How dare you, this is the cautious princess, when you see her, why don’t you go up and kneel down and worship?” Butler Lu roared with a voice.
Li Daniang flung herself on the ground and thumped her head twice at Princess Chao cai, “Greetings, Princess.”
Li Xinghua had just stood up when Princess cautious raised her hand and slapped Li Xinghua on the face, Li Xinghua was caught off guard and fell to her knees with her head bowed, not daring to retort.
Princess Chao cautiously, one hand picked up Li Xing Hua’s jaw, and looked up and down Li Xing Hua’s face, “This face is born well, white and tender, with a slutty bone, a fox charm like!
Li Heng Hua stubbornly bit her lips and raised her eyes to look at Princess Chao cao, “The princess is just upset about the nine pearls and is deliberately making things difficult for me, how can a village girl like me resist the princess?”
“You are so eloquent!” Princess Chao cautiously sneered with disdain and a face of anger, “Don’t think that this palace doesn’t know what’s in your mind, you are obviously deliberately close to the nine beads, there are places to stay everywhere in the big Northern Jinyin, you are good enough to follow me to the capital city, and try to live in the Du family, what is your intention?”
Li Heng Hua’s eyes flashed slightly, “I don’t understand what the princess is saying.”
“The palace has seen a lot of women like you, put away that pretentious look, in the Du family, the Du third son has not touched you, right?
Princess Chao cao looked at Li Xing Hua with contempt and disdain, “Don’t rely on the fact that you and Jiu Zhu had a good relationship, no one dares to touch you, if this palace wants to kill you, it’s like squashing an ant!
Li Xing Hua’s eyes were not only not afraid, but stubbornly asked, “If that’s the case, why did the princess talk to me so much?”
The cold light in Princess Chao cao’s eyes appeared and she threw her hand at Li Xing Hua and slapped her fiercely, “Bitch!”
The slap marks on both sides of her face were very conspicuous, while Li Daniang was shocked by Princess Chao ca’s attitude and did not understand what the words from Princess Chao ca’s mouth really meant.
“Princess, Xing Hua is not clear in her head, she didn’t mean to contradict you…”
Li Daniang faltered and explained, but was frightened by a look from Princess Chao caiao and immediately withdrew her expression, not daring to speak indiscriminately anymore.
“Remember, no matter how much effort you have made to come to the prince’s residence, the prince will not give you a second glance, and keeping you alive is only for the sake of Jiu Zhu.
Princess cautious was very angry with Li Xing Hua, from the moment of the accident, Princess cautious always felt that something was wrong, especially with this Li Xing Hua, later went to the Du family and checked again, this Li Xing Hua is very stubborn, although she is an aunt but does not want to please Du San Zi, and is still a virgin, but the two maids around Li Xing Hua, all have lost their virginity.
This was not right for Princess cautious, as a woman, Princess cautious had an intuition, until later, the three Li family members were brought to the prince’s house, Princess cautious a cloud in front of her eyes was half removed, this step is like a long time to arrange, after all, Zhao Chengjue is from the town of Lianshan to bring back the nine beads.
Princess Chao ca ca thought in her heart and came to the prince’s residence today to ask for proof, Li Xing Hua just a false flash of expression let Princess Chao ca ca be sure of her thoughts.
“The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the website.
The princess said, while wiping her fingers with a handkerchief, as if she had been stained with something unclean, and looked at Li Heng Hua with disgust and great contempt.
Li Heng Hua’s face turned white and she looked at Princess cautiously, “I don’t understand what the princess is talking about. If there were no nine pearls, Lianshan Village would not have suffered this bad luck.”
Princess Chao cautiously smiled coldly, “Why are you so stubborn, young girls like good things, your highness is so handsome and elegant, how many young girls like it when they see it, I heard that you were almost sold into the Qian family as a bad old man’s stepchild, if not for Jiu Zhu’s help, you would have known what happened to you, Jiu Zhu is only a four-year-old child, how can you bear to frame her like this?
If you are such a snake-hearted girl, how will His Highness take a look at you?”
Li Heng Hua finally could not help but look faint, not daring to meet the eyes of the cautious princess, only said, “Compared to Jiu Zhu, what am I? What makes her able to enjoy all this with peace of mind?”
When Li Xing Hua met the robbers, it was Zhao Cheng Jue who passed by and saved Li Xing Hua, who later learned of Zhao Cheng Jue’s identity after repeated inquiries.
It so happened that at that time Lin Nan’s father came to the door to propose a marriage, was slightly difficult by the Li family, the next day and the village of another family girl set up a marriage, this matter Lin Nan is also promised, this is Li Xinghua personally heard, since then Li Xinghua Lin Nan unspeakable disappointment.
Later, when the village was in trouble, Li Xing Hua and the two Li family members went to the town mountain to avoid this calamity, coincidentally, Li Xing Hua was working as an errand boy in the Liu family, and once again met Zhao Cheng Jue, the man that people remember at a glance, powerful and domineering, which Li Xing Hua had never seen before.
Zhao Chengjue took away the nine beads, Li Xinghua will think of ways to go all the way to the capital, walking stop for more than three months, finally lived up to the expectations of the the capital, although a lot of suffering, but Li Xinghua still think it is worth.
In the capital is not a good day, a few people have long been unable to make ends meet, even food and clothing are difficult to solve, and then heard that the Crown Prince’s House in the purchase of maids, Li Xinghua mind will know that the opportunity has come, a simple clean up will be sold to the tooth woman, but did not know that Li Xinghua was assigned to the Du family, Li Xinghua anxious, but is helpless, can only wait for the time.
During the Du family, Li Xinghua was taken in by the third young master Du as a concubine, at that time, Li Xinghua would like to die, rather than give in, and the two maids around coaxed on the collapse of the third young master Du, maintain a period of time, coincidentally, Li Xinghua saw the figure of Jiu Zhu in the garden, after some careful inquiry to know what Jiu Zhu is here to do, they deliberately appear in front of Jiu Zhu.
The first time I saw the man in the garden, I knew what he was doing.
But I didn’t expect to be exposed so soon, Princess Chao cautiously came to the door to say such things, Li Xing Hua panicked.
The princess was suspicious at first, but now she was almost sure that it was Li Xing Hua who was deliberately playing tricks.
“Bitch, what does the killing of the villagers in Lianshan Village have to do with Jiu Zhu, she has never harmed anyone? I didn’t expect you to be so deep-minded at such a young age!”
Princess cautious now have the heart to skin Li Xing Hua alive, today Princess cautious is to solve the confusion, just test, but did not expect to really get verified, Princess cautious really love Jiu Zhu, a young age but have to carry this.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the website.
Li Xing Hua hated Jiu Zhu as if she was possessed by a demon and could not wait to blame Jiu Zhu for everything. Li Xing Hua even believed that Zhao Cheng Jue could be good to Jiu Zhu as well as to himself and would sympathize with him one day, and that with Jiu Zhu around, Li Xing Hua would not be treated badly.
The sharp end of the hairpin was aimed at Li’s cheek, and before Li could react, she made several deep cuts.
Li Heng Hua ah a scream, a wave of heat on the face, stinging pain and numbness flowing, Chao cautious princess fiercely against Li Heng Hua is a kick, Li Heng Hua kicked out far away.
“This palace would like to see, without this face, what you can do to seduce people!” Princess Chao cautiously did not sympathize with Li Xing Hua, she only wanted to cut Li Xing Hua’s face.
With a creak, Zhao Chengjue held Jiu Zhu’s hand and stood at the door, Jiu Zhu pouted and looked at what was happening in front of her, her eyes hazy with tears.
Zhao Chengjue did not say anything, just now Jiu Zhu suddenly took his hand all the way here, standing in the doorway for a while, will be clearly heard inside the movement, there is the sound of birds chirping in the ears, chattering to Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu is ignored.
“Jiuzhu?” Princess Chao cao was startled by Jiu Zhu, the hairpin on her hand still had blood beads on it, she did not expect Jiu Zhu to be standing at the door.
“Your Highness…” Li Xing Hua covered her face, shocked by the cold color in Zhao Cheng Jue’s eyes, shivering, “No, it’s not like that, it’s all angry words, it’s because of Jiu Zhu that the people of Lianshan Village were put to death, I’m not lying, Your Highness, you shouldn’t I’m not lying, Your Highness, you shouldn’t be with Jiu Zhu anymore, Jiu Zhu is an evil spirit, an unknown person!”
The first time Zhao Chengjue looked at a person, his eyes were full of murderous aura, if not for the little person beside him, Zhao Chengjue would have killed Li Xinghua with a sword without hesitation, but he was afraid to stain Jiu Zhu’s eyes.
Jiu Zhu looked at Li Xing Hua with a puzzled face, and then looked at Zhao Cheng Jue, who bent down to hold Jiu Zhu in his arms and said in a soft voice, “Hear that, the incident in Lianshan Village has nothing to do with you at all, she deliberately falsely accused you, she also wanted to live in the prince’s residence and enjoy the glory and wealth.”
Jiu Zhu seemed to understand, still didn’t understand.
“Your Highness, no, it’s not true…” Li Xing Hua shook her head and tried to go forward, but she was kicked far away by Princess Chao cao, who immediately followed Zhao Cheng Jue’s words, “Yes, she’s not the same sister Xing Hua, Jiu Zhu, people Once there is a conflict of interest, they will become selfish.”
Jiu Zhu repeated this phrase over and over again in her head, and suddenly her eyes fell into darkness.
Zhao Cheng Jue shielded Jiu Zhu in his arms, moving gently, but did not even look at Li Xing Hua, Li Xing Hua looked at Zhao Cheng Jue in a daze and left the back, his heart thumped a sink, and his eyes were very complicated.
Li Daniang had already been scared silly, only felt like a dream, all wet, face pale looking at Li Xing Hua.
“Xing Hua, this… this is not real, is it?”
Li Heng Hua lost her soul and sat on the ground, both hands tightly covering her face, the blood on her face dripping onto her clothes, dotted with red plums, looking very enchanting.
Princess Chao cautiously thought of the nine pearls in her heart, but did not continue to count with Li Xing Hua, while Butler Lu said, “Princess, leave this place to Your Highness personally.”
Princess Chao ca ca withdrew her hand in disgust, turned her head and left, butler Lu only had the whole courtyard guarded, but did not care about Li Heng Hua’s injuries.
“Xing Hua, tell me, what is going on?” Li Dainiang anxious, Li Dainiang is not stupid, look at this situation not to mention into the eyes of the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince does not kill them is good.
“Ai! It’s really killed by you.” Li Dainiang screamed in agony, looking at Li Xing Hua in a daze, Li Da Bo is still in the house to recuperate from his leg injury, outside the matter also knows everything, support the body moved out, “Xing Hua ah, we do not have that fortune, and why do we have to ask for hardship, thinking about the glory and wealth ah.”
Li Heng Hua tightly pursed his lips, complex look at Li Da Bo, “What about Jiu Zhu, is not the same as me, and she has what qualifications to enjoy all this?”
Li Da Bo choked and did not know what to advise, just helplessly looked at the sky and sighed.
…
Jiu Zhu fell into a coma, butler Lu didn’t wait for orders to immediately send someone to invite Imperial Doctor Zhong over, who took Jiu Zhu’s pulse and frowned, “Has Miss Jiu Zhu been stimulated by something again?”
Zhao Chengjue nodded his head.
Doctor Zhong couldn’t complain, so he took out a few silver needles from the medicine box and poked a few acupuncture points above Jiu Zhu’s head, and prescribed some medicine, “Take it down and decoct it, and bring it up as soon as possible.”
“Doctor Zhong, how is Jiu Zhu?” Zhao Chengjue asked.
“Jiu Zhu’s health is very bad, perhaps it has taken a few years for her to ease up after being nurtured by a high level person, so medicine won’t do much for Jiu Zhu. The doctor said and paused, “If we can find the doctor who gave JiuZhu girl to recuperate her body, perhaps JiuZhu girl can recover and heal as soon as possible.”
The difference between Dr. Zhong’s medical skills and Master Qing’s is still too great, and Dr. Zhong does not dare to use any medicine that is too strong for Jiu Zhu, for fear of damaging Jiu Zhu’s body, and can only use some warm and tonic herbs to slowly restore her.
Zhao Chengjue’s brow is tightly knit, he has sent people to find the whereabouts of Master Qing for several months, but no news at all, this time to find Master Qing is really difficult, even what is Master Qing’s surname, what is his name, where is his ancestral home, how does he look like, everything is unknown, how can we find?
“It’s hard to find Master Qing, but what if the notice about the nine beads is published to the public? If Master Qing sees it, he will definitely come to find the nine beads.” Princess Chao cautiously said.
Zhao Chengjue shook his head no, “No, I have my own ideas about Master Qing.”
The identity of Jiu Zhu has not yet been clarified, since Master Qing can take Jiu Zhu to live in seclusion in Lianshan Village, there must be something to say, if the identity of Jiu Zhu is rashly published to the public, it will only bring Jiu Zhu a lot of trouble.
Soon the medicine boiled, Jiu Zhu tightly pursed his lips and refused to drink, Zhao Chengjue simply to mouth to Jiu Zhu, a bowl of medicine is smooth to Jiu Zhu.
This sleep Jiu Zhu slept for two full days, a little cold and a little hot, simply can not leave the side of a person, once a day to take a medicinal bath, Zhao Cheng Jue personally took Jiu Zhu bubble, until the third day, Jiu Zhu’s condition is considered stable.
During this period, Zhao Chengjue was always by Jiu Zhu’s side except for once at the court, afraid that Jiu Zhu would not see himself once he opened his eyes.
The first thing that Jiu Zhu saw when she opened her eyes was Zhao Cheng Jue. In the past few days, Jiu Zhu’s face had lost a lot of weight, and her whole body was much lighter.
Jiu Zhu was sitting in Zhao Cheng Jue’s arms, but there was no weight at all. Zhao Cheng Jue’s brow was furrowed as he fed Jiu Zhu spoonful after spoonful of rice, but Jiu Zhu avoided the spoon and reached out to tug tightly at Zhao Cheng Jue’s shirt, looking at him with big, watery eyes.
“Just say what you have to say, I can’t understand what you’re saying.” Zhao Chengjue ignored Jiu Zhu’s eyes, in fact, Jiu Zhu’s meaning, Zhao Chengjue could see at a glance, was for Xing Hua.
Jiu Zhu held her small face, opened her mouth and struggled to squeeze out a word, “Release.”
The voice was very small and muffled, but Zhao Chengjue heard it, and his eyes flashed with delight, but his face was still slack, “Didn’t hear it.”
Jiu Zhu reached out anxiously and gestured, but Zhao Cheng Jue ignored it, only placing a spoonful of moderately warm shredded chicken porridge in front of Jiu Zhu’s mouth, “Open your mouth!”
Jiu Zhu obediently opened her mouth and ate it, and then gestured at Zhao Cheng Jue, who lowered his head and blew on the spoonful of shredded chicken porridge, feeding it to Jiu Zhu’s mouth week after week, “There’s no rush, take your time, who can understand what you mean if you don’t say it?”
The first time I drank a bowl of porridge, Jiu Zhu did not say a word, Jiu Zhu eyes suddenly looked at the table of ink, paper and ink, twisted his body to get down from Zhao Cheng Jue’s arms, Zhao Cheng Jue let go, watched Jiu Zhu trotted all the way up to the stool, took the pen used in the past and wrote out a few words on the white paper in a crooked way.
The four words “Put apricot flowers” jumped off the paper, but Zhao Chengjue shook his head, “What exactly is the word written, I can’t understand it.”
Jiu Zhu was so anxious that she was about to cry, and wrote it again with a straight face, but Zhao Cheng Jue still shook his head. Jiu Zhu put the pen down with a snap and stood on the chair, stomping her feet and giving Zhao Cheng Jue a blank look, perhaps because her body had not yet recovered and healed, she was a little shaky.
“Speak slowly.”
“Release…release…” Jiu Zhu held her face red and repeated the word, Zhao Cheng Jue nodded, Jiu Zhu had a lot of effort to squeeze out a few words from her teeth, “Release…apricot, flower. “
Sister two words, Jiu Zhu never said out, the expression can not hide the despondency, after all, before the apricot flower sister to Jiu Zhu really good, in Jiu Zhu no one care, apricot flower sister is the first to think about Jiu Zhu.
“Release Xing Hua?” Zhao Chengjue did not do anything to Li Heng Hua, just did not listen to it.
Jiu Zhu immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and Zhao Cheng Jue asked, “Why? Xing Hua is not right-minded and has done so many wrong things, if it weren’t for her nonsense you wouldn’t be unable to say anything.”
Jiu Zhu reached out and tugged tightly at Zhao Cheng Jue’s sleeve and shook it, and it was only after a while that the four words she had newly learned popped out of her teeth, “Two against two.”
Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with a pleading face, how could Zhao Cheng Jue refute, he nodded and asked, “Are you still angry then?”
Jiu Zhu bowed her head, she wasn’t that generous yet, Li Xing Hua’s previous words did have an indelible hurt to Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu trusted Li Xing Hua’s and never doubted it, that’s why she held a grudge.
“Well, don’t think about the past anymore, it’s her own wrong-mindedness that can’t be blamed on anyone, you don’t even care about it, how can I?” Zhao Chengjue felt Jiu Zhu shivering, so he picked up Jiu Zhu’s body.
Jiu Zhu buried her head in Zhao Cheng Jue’s shoulder and rubbed it against him, then kissed him on the cheek.
“Jiu Zhu, from now on, this kind of action is absolutely not allowed to be done to the second person, understand?”
Jiu Zhu first seemed to understand, but when she saw Zhao Cheng Jue’s unusually serious expression, she nodded and said she understood, so Zhao Cheng Jue didn’t pursue the matter.
Wei Xin came once in the afternoon, first asking about Jiu Zhu’s situation, and then saying, “His Majesty means to send troops, so it’s not too late.”
The arrival of this day did not surprise Zhao Chengjue in the least, but Jiu Zhu had just gotten better, so if he left like this, it would be a waste of effort.
“Well, go back and get ready.” Zhao Chengjue could not defy the court’s decision, and this battle was imperative.
Jiu Zhu seemed to know Zhao Cheng Jue’s decision and became even more dependent on him. Zhao Cheng Jue hesitated all night, and Jiu Zhu did not sleep at night, looking at Zhao Cheng Jue with her eyes open, afraid that if she closed her eyes, Zhao Cheng Jue would disappear.
“Jiu Zhu, shall we discuss one thing?”
Zhao Chengjue twisted his head to look at Jiu Zhu, who covered his ears and closed his eyes.
“Jiu Zhu, I will be away for a while, would you like to enter the palace or go to the princess’s residence?”
Jiu Zhu opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with red eyes, Zhao Cheng Jue added, “I will still help you find Master Qing.”
Jiu Zhu buried her head under the blanket, her shoulders shrugging and twitching as she cried her heart out, and as soon as Zhao Cheng Jue reached over, she was knocked away by Jiu Zhu, who stubbornly refused to listen to Zhao Cheng Jue.
The next day, Jiu Zhu began a hunger strike, not eating or drinking, but staying in bed and not getting up, his face waxing yellow, Zhao Cheng Jue persuaded several times but did not work, Jiu Zhu is young but persistent, stubbornly refused to bow down and give in, his face still puffed up.
Even if you force-feed Jiu Zhu to eat, after a while, Jiu Zhu will buckle his throat and spit it out, week after week, for two days in a row, without the slightest sign of weakness, during which he was starved, but still refused to give up.
Zhao Chengjue sighed and helpless, holding Jiu Zhu, the two eyes facing each other, “We agreed to a deal, okay, before leaving you will be three words of gold silent to me, I will take you there, if you do not silent, then obediently stay in the house, okay?”
Jiu Zhu first hesitated and then nodded, Zhao Cheng Jue pointed to the meal on the table, this time Jiu Zhu did not refuse and obediently ate two large bowls of rice, butler Lu looked at Jiu Zhu in amazement, only his own highness could subdue Jiu Zhu.
These two days Jiu Zhu did not pester Zhao Cheng Jue, often invisible, looking for a secluded place to stay, this stay is several hours, early in the morning and late at night, occasionally forget the time until the little maid to find Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu only back to the hall, even without Zhao Cheng Jue, Jiu Zhu can also eat on their own, do not cry and do not make a fuss alone quietly, not allowed to disturb anyone.
Five days passed, and the day of the expedition was set. Three days later, Prince Zhao Chengjue led the three armies to Biancheng, and Wei Xin was the deputy commander, so he prepared enough provisions to go to Biancheng.
The maids in the courtyard were packing Zhao Chengjue’s clothes and footwear, as well as some necessities, and had packed a box, Jiu Zhu raised her eyes and looked a little anxious, but she was missing even more.
The three days flew by, and Zhao Chengjue only came back once in the past three days, and left soon after.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiu Zhu stood at the door of the prince’s residence and refused to leave, not believing that Zhao Cheng Jue’s words did not count.
After waiting for more than an hour, Butler Lu stood at the door and waited, as long as Jiu Zhu didn’t leave the prince’s residence, she could toss and turn any way she wanted.
Jiu Zhu looked at the door with eager eyes, outside the empty doorway there were many people shouting about something, pedestrians coming and going, but there was no figure that Jiu Zhu wanted to see.
After another hour, Jiu Zhu stubbornly lying on the threshold, tears in the eyes, Lu butler advised to look at the weather, “Miss, the wind is going to rain, let’s go back.”
Jiu Zhu lowered his head and reached out to wipe the teardrop at the corner of his eye, stubbornly both hands were clasped to the threshold, afraid that he would be dragged away by Butler Lu.
The sky began to thunder after waiting for a while, a thunderstorm appeared at first Jiuzhu stirred a little, butler Lu saw the situation and reached out to hold Jiuzhu’s hand, “Let’s go, be careful of catching a cold.”
Jiu Zhu’s eyes crossed, teardrops than the rain came more fierce, not a moment later suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the ear, clattering, Jiu Zhu immediately looked back.
“Your Highness?” Butler Lu followed suit and turned back, frozen, Zhao Chengjue had unexpectedly returned.
Zhao Chengjue said in a deep voice, “The holy decree is still in the house and I forgot to fetch it, go and bring it!”
Butler Lu shivered, that was the holy decree, how could he forget it? Butler Lu ran without saying a word, afraid of delaying Zhao Chengjue’s big event.
Zhao Chengjue just stood there, and did not go forward nor did he look at Jiu Zhu.
Jiu Zhu also did not go forward, cleared his throat, “People…the beginning of man, nature is good, nature is close, practice is far…people do not learn, not as good as things…diligent…”
Jiuzhu reached out and wiped the corner of his eyes, the further back the more agitated, “diligence has merit, play is not beneficial, the precautionary, it is appropriate to strive.”
The complete and entire three character sutra, and the tenant not a word out, and afraid that Zhao Chengjue can not hear like, each word is bitten very heavy.
Zhao Chengjue helplessly low sigh, finally converge eyebrows to look at the nine beads, bending down and squatting down, “Come here!”
The first time I heard this, I grinned and ran towards Zhao Chengjue, hugging him tightly around his neck, “The army is very hard, no more clothes and food, hunger may lose your life at any time, the cold weather is very hard, if you can’t stand it, I’ll send you back, no tantrums then.”
Jiu Zhu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, her long eyelashes still stained with crystal tears, Zhao Cheng Jue ordered to the maid on the side, “Go pack some simple clothes for Miss.”
“Yes.”
Butler Lu handed the bright yellow decree to Zhao Chengjue, but he saw Jiu Zhu grinning in Zhao Chengjue’s arms, and his heart thumped.
“This time not many doctors brought, nine beads in can also help this share a little.” Zhao Chengjue said.
The first thing you can do is to ask for the help of a doctor.
The maid also packed the package and handed it to Zhao Chengjue, who was wearing an overcoat and put Jiu Zhu on the back of the horse. The overcoat covered it so that no one could see that there was a person inside.
It was two hours before Zhao Chengjue caught up with him, but he had already left the city, so he made another trip back, but the troops were not delayed. When Wei Xin saw Zhao Chengjue coming up, he asked, “You left, and Jiu Zhu didn’t cry, did you?”
Zhao Chengjue didn’t answer, but just kept on walking with a stern face.
When Wei Xin saw that Zhao Chengjue did not say anything, she sighed, “Jiu Zhu is still a child after all, she will forget about it in a couple of days, I have already instructed my mother before coming out, she will visit Jiu Zhu at the house, find some more little friends, and have Dr. Zhong follow her day by day, so I think there will be nothing wrong.”
Wei Xin said this because she was worried that Zhao Chengjue would not be able to let go of Jiu Zhu, and that she would not know when she would return from her trip to Biancheng, but that things were unpredictable.
“That’s not necessary.” Zhao Chengjue only said this, the little person in his arms is tilting his head and looking at himself with a smile, this is a bright smile that has not been seen for a long time, so Zhao Chengjue also can not help but the corners of his mouth tinged with a smile.
Jiu Zhu’s ears were pressed against Zhao Cheng Jue’s chest, and a thick cashmere blanket was laid underneath, wrapped tightly around her, so that even the rain that should have fallen had been curbed, and Jiu Zhu squinted and hid in Zhao Cheng Jue’s arms without saying a word.
“I know that Jiu Zhu is stubborn, and my mother is also guilty in her heart. The Princess House is responsible for a large part of Jiu Zhu’s illness, so if I am lucky enough to return, I will definitely compensate Jiu Zhu properly.”
Jiu Zhu had helped Wei Xin to find out about Du Yulan’s marriage, so the matter was half done, but she hadn’t expected that there would be a Li Xing Hua in the Du family.
Zhao Chengjue squinted at the group behind him and looked at Wei Xin, but didn’t say anything, he just gathered his overcoat and Jiu Zhu’s little head came out, looking at Wei Xin with a smile on his face.
“Hiss!”
Wei Xin’s words stopped abruptly, rubbed his eyes and thought he was mistaken, jerked backwards to look at Zhao Chengjue’s arms, but Zhao Chengjue had already wrapped Jiu Zhu tightly.
“You’re crazy!” Wei Xin looked at Zhao Chengjue incredulously, he had brought the nine beads, he had never seen a child brought to a marching battle, it was unbelievable!
Zhao Chengjue gave Wei Xin a sidelong glance, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself, and you were saying you wanted to make up for it?”
Wei Xin looked back and lowered her voice, “Your Highness, this is not a joke, we’re going to war, not a trip to the mountains, it’s dangerous.”
“She doesn’t have to go to the front line to fight.” Zhao Chengjue held the reins with one hand, the other hand gathered the overcoat, supporting Jiu Zhu’s body, a small ball like a cat, soft and tight against Zhao Chengjue’s body.
Wei Xin was choked up and had no way to refute it. He thought for half a day before finding a reason, “But women are not allowed to be brought into the army, this is a big taboo, there are strict military rules.
When Wei Xin said this, Jiu Zhu pouted and tugged on Zhao Cheng Jue’s clothes with both hands, afraid that Zhao Cheng Jue would listen to Wei Xin and send her away.
“Jiu Zhu is different from other children, so if you leave her behind, you may not be able to find her.” Zhao Chengjue spoke indifferently, not intending to send Jiu Zhu away, but Jiu Zhu smiled at these words and settled into Zhao Chengjue’s arms, silently adding another debt to Wei Xin’s heart!
“Besides, Jiu Zhu didn’t go for nothing, Jiu Zhu learned a lot of medical skills and medicinal herbs, so she can also help share some of them.” Zhao Chengjue had no shame in finding a suitable excuse for Jiu Zhu.
Wei Xin was completely choked up, the marshal was deliberately biased, so he, the deputy marshal, had no choice but to admit it.
As the sky grew dark, Zhao Chengjue looked down at Jiu Zhu, who was looking at him with big round eyes, “Are you tired?”
Jiu Zhu shook her head.
The journey from the capital to Biancheng would take more than twenty days, and the battle ahead was urgent and could not be delayed, so they had to rest for two hours in the same place and then continue on their way again.
Jiu-zhu fell asleep on the back of the horse, although some bumps, but in the arms of Zhao Chengjue special peace of mind, wake up and sleep, sleep and wake up again, wake up again when Jiu-zhu lying in the carriage, Jiu-zhu lifted the curtain, the front is Zhao Chengjue’s back, this is a little peace of mind, but did not cry, good in the carriage squinting eyes continue to sleep, these days Jiu-zhu is indeed exhausted, this sleep is very heavy.
After five or six days, has arrived near the South City, around the mountains around the landscape is very good, the team also stopped to rest in place.
“If we go around the city, it will take at least five more days, but if we step over from this mountain, one day is enough, but the mountain is steep, and I don’t know if there are any beasts or bandits in the mountain.”
Wei Xin pointed to a large and majestic mountain in front of him, stretching endlessly, the jungle flourished, and there was no end to the lushness as far as the eye could see.
Zhao Chengjue looked down at the map and was silent for a long time before saying, “Few people come to South City, so no one has scouted…”
“Does Your Highness mean to send someone in to take a look?” Wei Xin also meant the same thing, it was too far to go around, crossing a long river, and it would take several days to cross the river, and such a long army could not afford to spend.
Zhao Chengjue nodded, first let a few guards into the mountain to explore the reality, and waited for about two hours of work did not return a person, not even a little movement, the crowd leaned at the foot of the mountain or stand or sit and wait.
After waiting for another hour and still no news, Zhao Chengjue sent four or five more people to the mountain, this time they came back quickly, one of them with a pale face, “Your Highness, there are many fierce beasts in this mountain.”
The wolves were barking on all sides of the mountain, which gave a chilling feeling to the ears.
“Your Highness, if we rush into the mountain, we may lose a lot of soldiers and horses, so we should go around for the sake of safety.”
“Your Highness, just a few wolves, we can’t be afraid of a few animals with tens of thousands of people, we can just barge through.”
“It’s not that we are afraid of death, but it’s not worthwhile to sacrifice our soldiers in this matter.”
Several deputies began to argue, a dozen guards went into the mountain and came out with one, so it is very dangerous inside, rashly going in will definitely lose not less soldiers and horses, so the opinions of the people are not uniform.
Zhao Chengjue remained silent, listening to the arguments of the crowd, suddenly his sleeve was tugged, Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Chengjue, pointed to the mountain, “wolves, tigers, leopards, and birds…”
Jiu Zhu counted on her fingers and looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with a tilted head, “There’s no one.”
Zhao Chengjue raised his eyes to look at a bird hovering in the upper air, chattering, Jiu Zhu’s words were not clear, but Zhao Chengjue understood what Jiu Zhu was talking about, Jiu Zhu pricked up his ears to listen, and soon said, “I have an idea.”
Zhao Chengjue bent down and squatted down, his face stern, “No nonsense, forget what I told you before?”
Jiu Zhu’s face fell, Zhao Cheng Jue had said not to let anyone know about Jiu Zhu’s ability to communicate with birds and animals, Jiu Zhu bowed her head, she only wanted to help Zhao Cheng Jue.
“I just want to help you, they won’t attack us, as long as we give them a message just passing by, they will avoid it.”
Zhao Chengjue wrinkled his eyebrows, and Jiu Zhu lowered his head in resignation and stopped talking.
“Listen to you.” Zhao Chengjue reached out and patted Jiu Zhu’s little head, Jiu Zhu’s expression instantly brightened up and he grinned at Zhao Chengjue.
Wei Xin came over and looked at Zhao Chengjue with a wrinkled brow, “The mountain is dangerous, no one knows what other dangers are inside, and we are unfamiliar with the place, there is no need to let so many people go in and take risks.”
“Wait one more hour.” Zhao Chengjue said.
When Wei Xin heard this, he nodded his head.
Zhao Chengjue took Jiu Zhu aside, and there were a few small birds in the trees with colorful feathers, chattering and talking about something.
Waiting for about half an hour’s work, the colorful bird came back, chattering does not know what to say, nine beads grin.
“Do not worry, will not do anything to this mountain forest, this is the Prince of Northern Jinyin.” Jiuzhu difficult to squeeze a few words out of his teeth.
After a long time, Jiu Zhu took Zhao Cheng Jue’s hand, “They give us three hours to cross over from the northwest.”
Zhao Chengjue did not have the slightest doubt about Jiu Zhu’s words, Jiu Zhu would never deceive himself, Zhao Chengjue nodded and led Jiu Zhu back to where he was just now and looked at Wei Xin, “Take 30,000 elite soldiers into the mountains, the rest of the food and wagons will be escorted around, we will leave immediately in one incense stick!”
Wei Xin froze, “But the road ahead is dangerous…”
“Go from the northwest!” Zhao Chengjue’s expression didn’t look like he was joking, Wei Xin didn’t refuse, “That’s good, I’ll arrange it now.”
Soon Wei Xin handed over all the provisions and equipment to the deputy general, reorganized the elite soldiers, and Zhao Chengjue rode his horse and led the way to the mountain.
“We’re lucky.” Zhao Chengjue reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s little head, thanks to Jiu Zhu’s presence.
Wei Xin was still a bit incredulous, just walking out of the mountain, Zhao Chengjue said, “It’s not too late to rush to Biancheng as soon as possible, the battle there can’t be delayed, the main commander can’t be of much use, the longer it takes the more losses we will have.”
Wei Xin nodded, the road ahead would be much easier once we crossed this mountain, and we could reach Biancheng in three days’ time at the most.
“Can we survive?” Zhao Chengjue asked, looking down.
Jiu Zhu nodded and tugged tightly on Zhao Cheng Jue’s clothes. Zhao Cheng Jue withdrew his eyes and raised his left hand in a forward motion.
“Let’s go!”
Jiu Zhu tossed for several days, small face pale, lax spirit, finally tossed to the place, ruthlessly slept the night, what happened outside has nothing to do with Jiu Zhu, immersed in sleep has not woken up.
When Jiu Zhu opened his eyes, he was already in Biancheng, and every day he could hear the sound of horns and neat slogans, unlike the weather in the capital, Biancheng, which is gray and puffy, a long time to go out will become gray, a mouthful of dust.
The breeze started, rolled up a layer of yellow sand, are almost confused eyes can not open, nine beads with a small hand fan, a while to adapt.
The only thing I could see from afar was a column of soldiers and horses training neatly, and Jiu Zhu knew that the figure of Zhao Cheng Jue must be ahead.
“You’re awake, you’re starving, come and eat.”
The old woman was a cook in the army, her two sons were killed in battle, the old woman had nowhere to go so she was placed in the army, many people know the old woman, known as Gu Daniang.
Gu Daniang is only in her early forties, smart and capable, both hands are calluses, very kind to people, there is an inch-long scar on the neck, looks a bit scary, Jiu Zhu is not afraid, Gu Daniang is Zhao Chengjue to find special service Jiu Zhu.
After all, they are women, so it is convenient to take care of them, and they are only responsible for Jiuzhu’s food and drink.
Jiu Zhu was really hungry, her stomach was growling, although she was used to eating in the prince’s house, Jiu Zhu was not fussy at all, a bowl of porridge, a small plate of vegetables and a small plate of meat sausage, and a small cup of bone soup, Jiu Zhu was like a hungry wolf pouncing on food, and ate all these meals without any problem.
Eat and drink enough, Jiu Zhu also did not forget to praise Gu Daniang’s exquisite craftsmanship, but the words are not good enough, only smiling at Gu Daniang brightly.
Gu Daniang’s son is gone, at first sight of such a small child heart can not mention how happy, reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s little head, eyes are full of tenderness, “Daniang night again to send you rice.”
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the back of the woman who has left, and stand at the door for a while.
In the afternoon, he went to study the words, the same homework, every day occasionally look at the back of the not far away, good behavior, never cry and not looking for people, occasionally follow the Gu Danyang ass looking for food, Gu Danyang’s craft is very good, leisure time will also give JiuZhu make cakes.
Jiu Zhu had nothing better to do than to learn how to make some cakes herself, and she was so smart and clever that she could learn in no time.
“Did you make these?” Zhao Chengjue asked.
Jiu Zhu nodded, still not happy to speak, but Zhao Cheng Jue forced Jiu Zhu to speak each time, so Jiu Zhu tugged on Zhao Cheng Jue’s sleeve, “Don’t you want to try it?”
Zhao Chengjue slowly sat down, just picked up a piece and handed it to his mouth, outside the door Wei Xin’s figure rushed in, without saying a word, he took a hand, three bites and two bites ate four or five pieces, smacking his lips, “A little hard, but it’s still okay.”
Nine beads small mouth a deflated.
Zhao Chengjue had put away his old air of being a noble son and followed the customs of his hometown, trying not to drag his feet and was very decisive, quickly eating all the remaining pastries, “It tastes good.”
Jiu Zhu’s eyes lit up, it was still Zhao Cheng Jue who knew what he was doing.
“This… couldn’t have been made by Jiu Zhu, could it?” Wei Xin reacted as an afterthought, Jiu Zhu’s goodwill towards Wei Xin dropped by another degree and she turned her head away from Wei Xin.
Wei Xin smiled sarcastically, “Jiu Zhu, you’re still young, this is already very good, when you become more skilled in the future it will be a hundred times more delicious than what the court master makes.”
Jiu Zhu hummed and ignored Wei Xin.
“What is it?” Zhao Chengjue picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat, raised his eyes to Wei Xin and asked.
“I just don’t understand why Nan Jiang has to attack Northwest Xingdu and bypass Biancheng, it’s too much effort to please.” Wei Xin put away his jokes and looked at Zhao Chengjue with a straight face.
Zhao Chengjue gathered his eyebrows, “Biancheng is not that easy to attack, South Jiang’s morale is low if you can take the small northwest Xingdu, although not much benefit to South Jiang, but also a good place to avoid the wind and grain, but also a drum to motivate morale, but a good idea.”
“Then, according to Your Highness, Nan Jiang is going to spend time with us?” Wei Xin frowned and let out a long sigh, if this is consumed, I do not know when will be the end.
“Nan Jiang does have this intention, what is the news from Dong Ming?” Zhao Chengjue asked again.
Wei Xin shook his head.
Zhao Chengjue was silent for a while, “Witchcraft is prevalent in Southern Jiang, and there are a lot of talented people. The Grand Prince of Southern Jiang was able to sit on the throne because of the help of someone behind the scenes.
Wei Xin still shook his head.
Outside the door, a guard shouted an urgent report, Zhao Chengjue put down his tea and stood up, turning his head to look at Jiu Zhu, “You behave yourself, do not run around.”
Jiu Zhu nodded.

The emperor of the domineering rogue and careful eyes VS the intelligent and arrogant beauty queen】1V1 double place
In this life, Su Wanrong is bound to rewrite her own destiny.
She wants to stay away from the royal family, away from the royal family, and marry an ordinary and honest man to spend her life in peace and quiet.
The first time I saw her, I was able to get away from the royal family, and even married the rumored brutal and unreasonable man of nine to five!
…
In his previous life, Emperor Jin Yuan.
Violent by nature, temperamental and ruthless. But at least he was decisive and talented. After succeeding to the throne, repeatedly expanding the country, the people’s well-being, barely called a generation of wise ruler.
This life of Emperor Jin Yuan, the
temperament is still cloudy and uncertain. He was so mean and shameless that he even took the wives of his subjects by force!
After ascending to the throne, neglected the imperial government. Do not see, do not approve, do not ask, do not speak. Day and night to stay in that Feng Yi Palace, obsessed with the beauty of the Queen can not be extricated!
These days Jiu Zhu is alone in bed, at first a little uncomfortable, unfamiliar with the place, but over time Jiu Zhu can only force themselves to slowly adapt, sometimes Zhao Cheng Jue only came back in the middle of the night.
Even so, Jiu Zhu willingly remained in Biancheng, and somehow Zhao Chengjue became dependent on Jiu Zhu.
Jiu Zhu’s three meals a day are all hand-delivered by Gu Daniang, not much style, but the taste is very good, Jiu Zhu also never come to not pretentious, every time will eat clean, occasionally will accompany Gu Daniang picking vegetables and washing vegetables, this wavers also passed two months.
This day, Jiu Zhu was awakened by the sound of trumpets, shortness of breath, and then listen carefully to the ear where there is no sound of trumpets, just had a nightmare, dream Zhao Chengjue a silver armor is full of blood stains, wearing several arrows, tall body shaking, will fall down at any time.
At that moment, Zhao Chengjue picked up the curtain and came in with a cold air, Jiu Zhu had a very good sense of smell and knew that Zhao Chengjue was injured as soon as he smelled it, so he rolled over and got off the ground, stirred up and looked up and down at Zhao Chengjue and sniffed hard.
“The ground is cold!” Zhao Chengjue saw her barefoot and went down to the ground, immediately reached out and took Jiu Zhu in his arms and walked up to the couch and placed Jiu Zhu on the collapse.
“The smell of blood.” Jiu Zhu sucked in her nose, her ability to speak had almost recovered in the past two months, and the number of times she had seen Zhao Cheng Jue in the past two months was only a handful, Jiu Zhu’s mouth did not say that her heart was still thinking about it.
“Just returned from the battlefield, this is someone else’s blood.” Zhao Chengjue’s face was tired, he couldn’t count how many nights he hadn’t rested properly, and there were dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, so when he entered the house, the room was still burning with a warm floor dragon, so Zhao Chengjue simply took off his clothes.
“I’ll take a nap.”
Jiu Zhu was relieved to see that Zhao Cheng Jue was not injured and did not disturb him, so he huddled in the corner by himself and looked at the medical book. Jiu Zhu already knew a lot of words and could recognize eight or nine of the words in the book and could guess the rest.
Zhao Chengjue opened his eyes and looked at them, then quickly closed them again and slept lightly, with the corners of his mouth curving up slightly and relaxing his body.
This night from daylight to dark, Zhao Chengjue has not woken up, Jiu Zhu has already eaten three meals, see Zhao Chengjue sleep sweetly, but did not bother to disturb.
“Let His Highness sleep, Vice Marshal Wei has also slept for a long time, fighting on the front line is estimated to be a long time without a good rest.” Gu Daniang advised before leaving.
Jiu Zhu nodded her head.
The next day, Zhao Chengjue was as if he had not woken up, his eyelids could not hold up, Jiu Zhu came forward and tilted his head, “Your Highness, you have slept for a whole day and night.”
Zhao Chengjue rubbed his head, but no impression at all, his head was still numb, the sound of trumpets suddenly sounded in his ears, Jiu Zhu immediately remembered the dream again, his face slightly white.
“Your Highness, the lonely general of Nan Jiang is leading a surprise attack on Biancheng a hundred miles away with his soldiers and is coming this way.”
“Report! Your Highness, South Jiang’s army was found fifty miles south of Biancheng!”
“Report! Your Highness, South Jiang’s army has been found 50 miles north of Biancheng!”
Zhao Chengjue’s face changed slightly, “Have Vice General Wei and the four Vice Generals come over here!”
Wei Xin entered the door with his hand on the door frame, his body was shaky and unsteady, his face was pale, “Your Highness, the bandits are too rampant, they are approaching the city and are clearly provoking on purpose, the last general is willing to lead the troops to fight!”
Wei Xin rubbed his head, his head felt like a string was fluctuating and could burst at any moment, loosening and tightening at the same time, controlling Wei Xin.
Jiu Zhu saw that something was wrong and reached out to pat Zhao Chengjue’s arm, “Your Highness…”
“Jiu Zhu.”
Jiu Zhu actually saw tiny red stains like blood wandering in Zhao Chengjue’s eyes, and only when she looked at them did she realize that they were small bugs at work.
“Jiu-zhu, you go to Gu Daniang first, I have very important things to take care of.” Zhao Chengjue’s voice to Jiu Zhu was as gentle as ever.
Jiu Zhu turned around and looked at Wei Xin, who also had tiny red bugs wandering around in her eyes, Jiu Zhu bit her lip tightly, these two were probably poisoned, Jiu Zhu caught Zhao Cheng Jue’s finger and bit down hard on it, Zhao Cheng Jue frowned slightly.
The smell was exactly the same as the smell on Zhao Chengjue’s clothes yesterday, and Jiu Zhu immediately went up to smell the clothes that Zhao Chengjue had taken off and set aside, and there was indeed a little bit of the smell left on them.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Chengjue was half conscious, half fuzzy.
“It’s poison.” Jiu Zhu immediately asked the guards to bring in the Imperial Doctor, who examined him again and again and looked at Jiu Zhu, “His Highness’s body is not half unwell, how could it be poisoned, you are wrong, Miss.”
“It’s really poison.” Jiu Zhu was anxious and pointed at Zhao Cheng Jue’s eyes, “There are still many, many small bugs here, how could it not be poisoned?”
The doctor followed the line of sight and saw that Zhao Chengjue was all right, his eyebrows were clear and there was nothing wrong with him at all, but he sighed silently in his heart. If it wasn’t for the face of Zhao Chengjue, the doctor would have already reprimanded Jiu Zhu.
What a mess!
“Jiu-zhu, I’m fine…”
Jiu Zhu stomped her feet, wanting to speak but not knowing where to start, Jiu Zhu glanced at the table and took out a clean teacup, which was filled with clean water for washing, put a drop of blood from Zhao Cheng Jue’s finger into it, and bit through the blood in her own hand, and gradually the two drops of blood fused and turned black and purple.
“Look, it’s really poisonous!” Jiu Zhu reached out and pointed to the cup of water, Jiu Zhu’s blood can test any poison, probably because Jiu Zhu’s bone and blood carries poison in it, Jiu Zhu’s blood can swallow the poison.
Zhao Chengjue clenched his tongue, forcing himself to wake up a few moments, lowered his head and looked at the water in the cup, before he could speak, his complexion was lax again, not knowing what he was doing.
“Look, your highness this appearance is either poisoned or poisoned with a compulsion, clearly is not normal!” Jiu Zhu tightly tugged on Zhao Cheng Jue’s hand and glared at the eunuch doctor.
The eunuch doctor was adamant that Zhao Chengjue was not poisoned, insisting that Zhao Chengjue’s pulse was normal and that there was no way to do anything about it.
Jiu Zhu was so angry that she crossed her arms, “Go and get me another doctor!”
The people around Jiu Jue knew how good he was to Jiu Jue, so Jiu Jue’s words still carried some weight, and the guards quickly went to get a doctor.
“Little girl, this is a military camp, not a place for you to mess around, you can’t afford to delay something big!” A deputy general came in outside the door, hearing these words, and angled at Jiu-zhu, just as Jiu-zhu is a doll who does not know what to do, stirring up nonsense.
Jiu Zhu was not afraid of the man’s aura and protected Zhao Cheng Jue behind him, “His Highness is in danger, how can you disregard his life?”
“How dare you, it was His Highness who summoned us here.” Another lieutenant said.
Jiu Zhu was so anxious that she had no words, she didn’t understand what was going on in the battle, she only knew that she couldn’t let Zhao Cheng Jue leave this room, otherwise Zhao Cheng Jue’s life would be in danger.
Wei Xin and Zhao Chengjue didn’t say a word, their eyes were frozen, and they looked like they were being controlled by someone.
“Ouch!” A sudden eagle cry resounded in mid-air, and Jiu Zhu was dragged far away, and could not get close, and his small strength was small even a guard could not fight.
The big eagle suddenly turned sharply straight down, with a gold medal in its mouth and threw it to Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu took the gold medal and froze, not yet dazed, the big eagle grabbed Jiu Zhu with two claws and flew all the way low, Jiu Zhu raised his eyes, “to find Vice Admiral Jane?”
Big Eagle, “to stop Vice General Jane to send troops, there are traps outside the city.”
Nine beads nodded, the big eagle landed nine beads back under a roof, slowly landed, nine beads asked a circle of Jane Vice General, it was difficult to find people, Jane Vice General has been assigned to watch the grain and grass back-up matters, the front of the matter has not been allowed to get involved.
Nine pearls went forward and dragged the main deputy general Jane, handing him the gold medal, “Quickly go to stop them from sending troops, there is a trap outside the city, and His Highness has been poisoned…”
Vice Admiral Jane was stunned by Jiu Zhu’s words, but the gold medal in Jiu Zhu’s hand was real, it was able to mobilize the three armies, how could this be in the hands of a four year old child.
“Little girl, where did you get this gold medal?” Vice Admiral Jane asked in a serious manner.
“Aiyo!” Jiu Zhu was exasperated and stomped her foot, “Can you not underestimate me as a child, what I said is true, this gold medal was given to me by His Highness, it will be too late if you don’t get out!”
The first time I saw a child, I was so angry.
The Vice Admiral Jane looked at the big eagle next to Jiu Zhu, hesitated, and then gritted his teeth and believed Jiu Zhu once.
“I’ll go!”
Vice General Jane immediately prepared his horse and first went to the barracks to take away a group of elite soldiers to guard the front of the city gate, forbidding anyone to open the gate, and just as he reached the second gate, Zhao Chengjue, Wei Xin, and the four vice generals all came out.
“Vice General Jane, what are you doing, are you going to rebel?” Vice Admiral Mo looked at Vice Admiral Jane.
Vice General Jane ignored the four lieutenants and looked at Zhao Chengjue instead, “Your Highness?”
Although Zhao Chengjue was riding on a horse, he was muddled, and his expression was wrong at first glance. Vice Admiral Jane cleared his throat and immediately made up his mind, pulling out a gold medal from his arms and raising it high.
“This is a military order, no one is allowed to leave the city today, those who disobey the order will be killed without amnesty!”
Several people looked at the gold medal in Vice General Jane’s hand and froze, Vice General Mo snorted coldly, “You are reckless, His Highness does not need you to order him to go to war, how dare you steal His Highness’s military order?
“The military order is in hand, who dares to be reckless!” His Majesty is not well at the moment and should not be fighting, are you going to watch him die?
“Joke, even the doctor said that His Highness is very well, safe and sound, the expedition is also His Highness’s decision, what are you, the South Jiang people are rampant have been under the city, we northern Jinyin people have become oh the shrinking turtle, hiding inside and refused to go out, but still will be laughed at!”
“That’s right, the head can be broken blood can be shed, the backbone of the Northern Jinyin can not be lost, but what is your intention to obstruct by all means?”
Vice General Jian’s face was tense as he looked at Zhao Chengjue, “As long as Your Highness speaks out personally, the last general will move aside, otherwise you will never set foot outside the city gate!”
“You!” Vice Admiral Mo’s face changed slightly.
Zhao Chengjue’s head felt like someone was tearing at his body at the moment, and when his hands let go, he fell straight off his horse.
“Your Highness!” Vice Admiral Jane froze, followed by even Wei Xin who also fell off, and the scene became quite chaotic all of a sudden.
“Carry His Highness and Wei back, all of you guard the gates, whoever dares to go out of the gates will be shot to death with arrows!” Vice General Jian had believed half of it, but now he believed all of it, Zhao Chengjue was really in trouble, and Zhao Chengjue’s current state would also be in trouble when he went into battle.
“You!” The four generals stared at Vice Admiral Jane, who had the military order in hand and the elite soldiers in hand, not to mention the fact that Zhao Chengjue had fallen in front of everyone, so if he insisted on leaving the city at this moment, it would be somewhat abnormal.
From afar, Jiu Zhu watched all this and breathed a fierce sigh of relief, raising his eyes to look at Da Ying, “What about His Highness, is there any way to make His Highness better?”
The Great Eagle said that once the five-day period had passed, Zhao Chengjue would return to normal, Jiu Zhu listened with a frown but could do nothing about it, only wishing he had the skills of Master Qing to do so.
The vice general is here to stop, the people dare not speak, in the end is not the courage to cross the vice general Jane, can only indignantly retreat back.
The second vice general did not dare to be careless and did not dare to leave the door of Zhao Chengjue, but only let the doctor enter, but of course did not stop Jiu Zhu, who was like an old hen protecting her little chick, looking at the doctor with a wary face.
“Don’t come over!”
Doctor Li looked at Jiu Zhu, “Miss Jiu Zhu, His Highness is suddenly unconscious, so I need to see His Highness.”
“Humph, didn’t you say that His Highness is fine and well? If it weren’t for your nonsense, His Highness wouldn’t have fallen off the horse!”
Jiu Zhu insisted on refusing to get out of the way, although the young Jiu Zhu does not know the twists and turns, but knows that it is absolutely not allowed to let the other side of the haphazard, especially in front of the doctor Li, look at it is not good, Jiu Zhu’s impression of doctor Li is really too bad, said nothing but refused to let doctor Li close to a step.
“Miss Jiuzhu, you can’t afford to delay His Majesty’s illness!” The entire Biancheng is waiting for His Highness to wake up and make a decision as soon as possible, at this moment the South Jiang soldiers are already under the city, if His Highness doesn’t wake up, when the city breaks down, the entire Biancheng will have to be buried with you.”
“That’s right, don’t rely on the little favor His Highness has for you to get more and more nonsense and no rules, this is a big event, can’t you afford to delay?”
Soon two more eunuchs joined in the criticism, just as close to pointing at the tip of Jiu Zhu’s nose insults, Jiu Zhu’s angry little face turned red.
“Vice General Jane, if His Highness has any shortcomings, how can it be good, there are still many people in the city waiting for His Highness to make a decision, can not delay ah.”
One of the eunuchs immediately turned to Vice Admiral Jane and advised her, Zhao Chengjue had fallen off his horse in public and was now unconscious, Vice Admiral Jane was also worried and looked at Jiu Zhu.
“If you want to see it, everyone is wearing white Li clothes, each box and each item is given to me to check!” Jiuzhu insisted on not letting go of his neck.
“Nonsense!” Imperial Doctor Li was displeased on the spot, “Are you doubting my medical skills, or are you insulting me that I would set up His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“That’s right, we are all eunuch doctors who followed His Majesty to the army, not lowly doctors, if word gets out, people will laugh at us!”
Immediately, some doctors followed and agreed, but Jiu Zhu tilted her head and hummed, “So what, I saved the Empress’ life, so many people were present and no one could smell any traces, if you are frank, why do you fear my examination?”
Jiu Zhu was also smart enough to know the counter-attack, “Besides, before I stopped His Highness from going out, saying that His Highness was already a sign of poisoning, but you refused to believe it, insisting that His Highness’ pulse was normal, and in the end, his medical skills were not good…”
“You!” Several eunuch doctors were immediately blocked by nine beads can not say a word, several people’s faces red, actually in public by a young girl to despise, is simply an unprecedented shame in life, if this spread out absolutely will be laughed to death.
The second vice admiral immediately stood on Jiu Zhu’s side, “Although she is young, she knows quite a bit about medicine, since we are all looking out for His Highness, naturally we should put His Highness first, it’s okay to be careful, what do you think?”
Several doctors were once again hit in the face, Vice Admiral Jane said so, that means to follow the words of Jiu Zhu, several people which dare not obey, can only hold their breath and agreed to take off their clothes, only wearing a layer of lingerie, Jiu Zhu and uneasy, went up and sniffed, carefully not to let go, until the confirmation is correct before letting people close to the edge of the couch.
The next thing is the things that the doctor wants to use, nine beads also did not let go, asked someone to get a bowl of water, bitten finger drops into a few drops of blood into it, and then the things used one by one in the water to go through, until the water also did not change color, only to rest assured.
The doctor snickered at the sight, but did not pay attention to the nine beads, half squatting on the collapse to Zhao Chengjue pulse, diagnosed a full incense burner before releasing his hand, but his brow was tightly wrinkled.
“His Highness’s pulse is indeed normal, there is nothing wrong with it, but why he is unconscious is puzzling.”
The second doctor came forward to check the pulse, and the conclusion was the same as Li’s, “Yes, your highness is all right, it is really puzzling, I have not seen such a strange pulse in my years of practice.”
The third, fourth and still the same.
Vice Admiral Jane’s brow was furrowed, even the Imperial Physician could not diagnose Zhao Chengjue’s illness, so what should be done?
As he was thinking, one after another urgent report came from outside the door, “Report, the South Jiang army has been found in the west.”
“Report, South Jiang’s army has been found in the north.”
“Report, ten miles outside the city gate, the South Jiang army has set up camp, and some of the soldiers and horses are coming towards Biancheng.”
Vice General Jane was shocked, he didn’t expect that these South Jiang army would come so fast, one hour later they would really be under the city.
“What are you waiting for, Vice General Jane? Tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city are still afraid of his little barbarians.
“That’s right, what is the point of hiding here, it makes the people in the city panic, the morale of the army is greatly reduced, this is not good for North Jinyin!”
Several lieutenants were urging Vice Admiral Jane to open the gates as soon as possible, but Vice Admiral Jane was silent for a while, as Zhao Chengjue had not yet woken up, this decision was not for Vice Admiral Jane to make.
“His Highness is unconscious now, how can I…”
Vice Admiral Jane’s words were not finished, but immediately interrupted, “Now Vice Admiral Jane holds the token in his hand, naturally he can give orders, as the saying goes, the general is outside the military order, and His Highness is in this situation, of course everything has Vice Admiral Jane’s say.”
“Is it possible that the token in Vice General Jane’s hand is from an unknown source?” Another deputy general looked at Vice Admiral Jane with a suspicious face.
Vice Admiral Jane slanted his eyes at that person, his aura was cold, no less than that Vice Admiral, “I have my own decision on this matter, several of you do not need to rush.”
“No hurry…people are bullying to the door, how can we not be in a hurry, do we have to wait for the city to break down before we can be in a hurry?” Vice Admiral Wen hummed and slanted his eyes at Vice Admiral Jane with contempt, almost as if he did not put Vice Admiral Jane in his eyes.
If anyone dares to shake the army’s confidence and spread rumors, he will be beaten with eighty boards, the Northern Jins are not retreating, and they are not afraid of the Southern Jiang army, but now is not the time!
Vice General Wen froze, fiercely glared at Vice General Jane, “What are you, dare to tell me what to do, you are just a small guard position to watch the grain and grass, really take themselves as what a general, you can order the three armies to listen to your orders, His Highness has a lot of generals around, why did he give you a warrant to watch the grain and grass, now look at your behavior, it is very suspicious, say The first thing you can do is to tell me if you’re the one who’s doing this.
Vice Admiral Wen is not a good natured person either, and in a few words he put his hat on Vice Admiral Jane’s head and refused to stop.
“Vice Admiral Jane, when His Highness was awake just now, he was prepared to go to battle, this is His Highness’ intention, do you want to obstruct it too?” Vice Admiral Zhang also agreed with Vice Admiral Wen’s words and looked at Vice Admiral Jane with a slightly probing and questioning gaze.
“Without evidence only a token in hand, it’s really hard to convince people!”
Vice General Wen smiled at his words, “This is true, who knows if some means were used to get the token, this matter must be properly investigated, the most urgent thing is to open the gates and meet the battle, not to degrade the prestige of the Northern Jinyin Army!”
Several people did not pay attention to the words of Vice Admiral Jane, discussing some lifting feet to leave, Vice Admiral Wen took the lead to go forward.
“Come on, invite the adjutants into the side room to wait!” Mo Yu’s figure suddenly appeared, and with one order, dozens of archers immediately appeared around, aiming at the four vice generals in unison.
Mo Yu was the number one guard by Zhao Chengjue’s side, and had been following him from birth to death, and was a close confidant of Zhao Chengjue.
“Whoever dares to disobey Vice General Jane’s wishes will be dealt with according to military law!” Mo Yu was the first to kneel on the ground and bowed down to Vice Admiral Jane.
Vice Admiral Wen turned his head and glared fiercely at Mo Yu, “How much benefit did Vice Admiral Jane give you, that you speak for the grain watcher like this!”
Mo Yu a look, Vice General Wen was immediately held down by two guards, on the spot was beaten twenty military truncheons, Vice General Wen’s face rose red, when he suffered such a great shame!
“Bring it down quickly!” Mo Yu cold voice commanded, soon several vice generals were brought into the side room, Vice General Jane also followed with relief, personally helped Mo Yu up.
Mo Yu said, “I’m late, since your highness gave the order to the deputy general, before your highness woke up, everything here is given to the deputy general, if someone disobeys the deputy general can be dealt with according to military law!”
Deputy General Jane is a little excited and worried, “but your highness…”
Mo Yu was silent.
The people in the room saw the scene outside the door, especially a few eunuchs in the end did not dare to underestimate Vice Admiral Jane, no longer dare to abet.
“His Highness does have an explanation to give to the adjutant general.” Mo Yu lowered his voice and whispered to Vice Admiral Jane, “Vice Admiral Jane just needs to guard Biancheng, there is no need to interfere in matters outside the city.”
Although the deputy general Jane does not understand, but still nodded, Mo Yu’s identity does not allow the deputy general Jane haphazardly suspicious.
Jiu Zhu didn’t have the heart to care about this, but just stood beside the bed, eyes unblinking, staring at several eunuch doctors, fearing that several eunuch doctors might do something unfavorable to Zhao Cheng Jue.
Imperial Doctor Li was about to give Zhao Chengjue a consultation, and with each needle placed, Jiu Zhu would ask, “What acupuncture point is this and what does it do?”
The doctor frowned, and behind him was Vice Admiral Jane watching, so the doctor dared to ignore Jiu Zhu, and could only tell him one by one.
At this moment, Vice Admiral Jane did not dare to underestimate the little girl, immediately looked at the side of the guard, the guard lying on the ground, the corners of the mouth of Dr. Li twitched, Jiu Zhu squinted at Dr. Li, “Start, if the guard brother has any discomfort, I can not spare you!”
The doctor, who was threatened by a child, was very serious and resourceful, so he gave a few needles to the doctor and asked people to watch without blinking, while the doctor applied needles to Zhao Chengjue.
Jiu Zhu also occasionally looked down and asked, “Is there anything uncomfortable?”
Li’s heart trembled and he turned his eyes to the guard, who fortunately shook his head, before Jiu Zhu turned his head to look at Li’s doctor, “Where is the next needle?”
Li has been practicing medicine for many years, but he has never seen such a stubborn little girl. A fine layer of sweat beads up on his forehead, and his clothes are soaked through, clinging to his back, very uncomfortable, but Jiu Zhu doesn’t care about that, his eyes only focus on Zhao Chengjue.
Two hours had passed and Jiu Zhu looked at Dr. Li with disgust, “This method doesn’t work at all.”
If Master Qing had been present, he would have had a way to make Zhao Chengjue wake up as soon as possible, but with Master Qing as a pearl in front of him, Jiu Zhu really couldn’t look at these bricks.
A few people were disliked at one time, Li tai doctor did not hold back a faint fishy taste gushing out of his throat, but was Li tai doctor viciously swallowed, and then and Jiu Zhu entangled only to be afraid of being angry, simply a hand, “please forgive me for my medical skills are still shallow, really can not cure your highness this disease.”
The remaining eunuchs naturally did not dare to go forward to take over.
The sound of rumbling horns in the ears, the shouting and screaming of Southern Jiang soldiers outside the city gate, Vice General Jane frowned and immediately led people to the direction of the city gate.
Jiu Zhu looked at Mo Yu, “Is the enemy coming?”
Mo Yu nodded, “Miss need not worry.”
“I’m not afraid, His Highness will wake up in a few days.” Jiu Zhu’s fair little face did not have a trace of panic, it was calm, yet Mo Yu had to be impressed, His Highness really did not love her for nothing.
A few eunuchs were sent to the side room, Jiu Zhu refused to go anywhere and stayed by Zhao Cheng Jue’s side, no one advised anything, tired of taking off his clothes and lying on the other side of the couch, two small hands tightly tugging on Zhao Cheng Jue’s big hand, obviously tired, but still opened his eyes from time to time to look, slowly breathing shallowly, drowsy sleep.
The person who was unconscious on the collapse opened his eyes, and today Jiu Zhu’s every move was in Zhao Cheng Jue’s eyes, indescribably pleased, and his big hands were more than enough to hold the two small hands.
Mo Yu entered the door with his head bowed.
Zhao Chengjue slowly sat up and covered Jiu Zhu’s little body, through the screen Mo Yu’s voice came, “Your Highness was right, there are indeed spies in the city, Vice General Wen and Vice General Zhang’s men also disguised as people, trying to send letters out of the city, my subordinates have followed Your Highness’s instructions to spread the news.”
Zhao Chengjue’s eyes were dark, Vice General Wen and Vice General Zhang were the guardians of Biancheng, before Zhao Chengjue came to Biancheng, there was a high possibility that one of these two would be a great general, the previous guardian of Biancheng was injured and could not survive so he retired, but no one expected Zhao Chengjue would suddenly come and disrupt the plan.
Zhao Chengjue had come to investigate Biancheng half a year ago and had already suspected that Biancheng was not the only place where the border between Southern Jiang and Northern Jinyin, Biancheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was not cost-effective to spend the effort to attack Biancheng, and the most suspicious thing was that the Emperor of Southern Jiang had just died, and the Grand Prince of Southern Jiang was in a hurry to attack Biancheng in Northern Jinyin, which was too eager and suspicious.
Zhao Chengjue is just a trick, and really try to detect the traitor, Biancheng as the center of several cities in the past few years, the wind and rain, food is also a bumper crop, but why the court year after year not to pay the grain and grass, even the court sent over the grain and grass also exceeded the demand, it is clear that someone deliberately withheld the grain and grass.
Zhao Chengjue frowned, “No need to alarm the snake for the time being, but if someone shakes the army’s heart, immediately beheaded without amnesty!”
Mo Yu nodded his head.
Zhao Chengjue laid back down again, Mo Yu quietly left, Zhao Chengjue twisted his head to look at the still sleeping Jiu Zhu, his heart suddenly soft, today Jiu Zhu’s actions are very surprising to Zhao Chengjue, his Jiu Zhu is really different.
In the middle of the night, Jiu Zhu was awakened by the sound of the horn, like a thunderbolt, Jiu Zhu sat up with a start, rubbed her eyes and lay down next to Zhao Cheng Jue, buried her little head in Zhao Cheng Jue’s arms, only then did she feel at ease, slowly closed her eyes again and went back to sleep.
The next day, Jiu Zhu slept until the sun was up, too tired to wake up, Gu Daniang to Jiu Zhu to send food, not a word extra, Jiu Zhu is very hungry, three mouthfuls of two will lick the bottom of the bowl clean, grinning at Gu Daniang smile.
The people of the city are hiding, the streets are very empty, almost invisible to the people, only a neat line of teams at the city gates, wave after wave, Jiu Zhu also saw the figure of Vice Admiral Jane.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, these three days JiuZhu stay in the house, quiet and not noisy good behavior, GuDaNiang sent a meal to eat, on the side of things do not ask, only know that the situation in the city more and more tense, even the streets are a lot of solemn.
Jiu Zhu stood by the window sill with a small face, occasionally breaking off his food and feeding it to the big eagle, and occasionally talking to the big eagle, too bored alone.
This day, Jiu Zhu was sleeping, suddenly felt the tip of the nose and ears itchy, reached out to scratch, not long after the waist began to itch again, Jiu Zhu dazedly opened his eyes, and met a pair of gentle eyes.
Jiu Zhu instantly woke up and looked at Zhao Cheng Jue with joy, “Ah, you’re awake.”
Zhao Chengjue nodded, and with one big hand he took Jiu Zhu into his arms. Jiu Zhu stared into Zhao Chengjue’s eyes, black and bright like stars, completely free of the little red bugs swimming around, and Jiu Zhu threw herself into Zhao Chengjue’s arms with joy and happiness.
“You’re better, you’re better.” Jiu Zhu wrapped her arms around Zhao Cheng Jue’s neck, “Big Eagle really did not lie to me.”
Zhao Chengjue reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s little head, put his clothes on Jiu Zhu and pointed to the silvery white outside the window, “Look, it’s snowing.”
Jiu Zhu twisted her head to follow the line of sight and looked, her two eyes suddenly snowed, “Yes, it’s really snowing.”
After a while Jiu Zhu immediately raised her eyes to look at Zhao Cheng Jue, “Is this a good thing that is going to happen because of the snow?”
Zhao Chengjue shallow smile, listening to the outside movement slowly put Jiu Zhu in the house, these days in the house where not allowed to go, wait for some days I will take you to the back of the mountain to see, to catch you a small mink back.”
Jiu Zhu nodded her head in response to Zhao Cheng Jue’s words, Zhao Cheng Jue stood up, Mo Yu outside the door handed over a letter, Wei Xin is also rushing this way, after five days of sleep, waist and arms and legs are sore, especially listening to the sound of the trumpet, Wei Xin’s heart is itching to rush to the battlefield.
Zhao Chengjue finished reading the letter, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, “Have Vice General Jane come over!”
In a short time, Vice General Jane came and saw Zhao Chengjue standing at the door unharmed, he was happy and relieved, “Your Majesty, your health?”
Zhao Chengjue waved his hand, “It’s no longer a problem.”
Without saying a word, Vice General Jane immediately presented the token with both hands and handed it to Zhao Chengjue, who took it in his arms, “Vice General Jane, I’ll give you 30,000 elite soldiers and you should leave tonight, travel a hundred miles from the southeast and meet at Xuancheng in Nanjiang in three days.”
Vice General Jane froze, “Your Highness? Yes! I will definitely not disgrace my mission!”
Vice General Jian was also the original defender of Biancheng, he was brave and resourceful, but unfortunately he was not reused, but Zhao Chengjue saw him right away.
Zhao Chengjue then looked at Wei Xin, and they smiled at each other.
The news of Zhao Chengjue’s awakening spread quickly, and several lieutenants looked at each other in disbelief, only to see that Zhao Chengjue was indeed standing there intact.
“This time it was thanks to Dr. Strange, if it wasn’t for Dr. Strange’s rescue, His Highness and I wouldn’t know when we would have woken up.” Wei Xin caught sight of a few people approaching out of the corner of his eye and deliberately spoke aloud, then covered his chest tightly, “I’m feeling much better, but my body always feels weak, otherwise which tolerates the southern barbarians outside the city being so arrogant and domineering?”
Zhao Chengjue did not speak.
“The last general and others pay their respects to Your Highness.” The four men knelt on the ground and saluted Zhao Chengjue, who said in a hoarse voice, “All rise.”
“Congratulations to Your Highness for healing, it is also a blessing for Northern Jinn.” Vice General Wen had long been displeased with Vice General Jane, and when he saw that Zhao Chengjue had woken up, he immediately went forward to pay his compliments, “Your Highness is blessed by the heavens, the last general has waited too hard for this day.”
“Your Highness, Southern Jiang has been attacking the city for several days, and they are shouting curses outside the city day after day, saying that everyone in Northern Jinyin is a shrinking turtle and dare not see others. Vice Admiral Zhang said angrily while glaring at Vice Admiral Jane unhappily.
Vice Admiral Jane lowered his head and ignored the words of these people.
Zhao Chengjue hooked up his thin lips, listening to the sound of trumpets coming from his ears, “I was careless for a moment and fell into the calculations, so the South Jiang people are so arrogant, and Vice General Jane’s nature is indeed a bit indecisive, Vice General Jane, from now on you should go to take care of the food and straw, you immediately prepare the troops and horses, open the gates and fight with the South Jiang tonight!”
The vice general Wen and vice general Zhang smiled at each other immediately, the unspoken lowered their heads and did not mention the vice general Jane, there are still plenty of opportunities to settle this account later, vice general Jane silently retreated.
“Vice Admiral Zhang, Vice Admiral Wen, four people immediately go forward to quasi…” Zhao Chengjue tightly covered his chest, his body swayed, as if it was very difficult to look.
The two men saw this and immediately understood, “Yes, the last general and others will go down and prepare.”
The remaining two men did go up to Zhao Chengjue and asked him, but Zhao Chengjue waved his hand and braced himself to go inside, so the two men had to retreat, and Wei Xin could be heard saying, “Your Highness, don’t go on today, why don’t you let the last general do it for you?”
“No, how can I retreat, if I don’t go on the field will I not be laughed at by Nan Jiang?”
The rest of the words were not heard by several people, but just walked further and further away.
…
Nan Jiang
“Zhao Chengjue has woken up?” Lonely coverlet couldn’t believe his ears, looked to the top of the lonely Yuanlin, “Father, how is this possible, once the rainbow compulsion enters a person’s body, if there is no antidote, or mother compulsion, it is absolutely impossible to run out.”
Dokgo Yuanlin slanted his eyes at Dokgo Lie, “The letter said that a miracle doctor came from Biancheng, this miracle doctor saved Zhao Chengjue and Wei Xin, at this moment Zhao Chengjue has already counted his troops in the city, and will open the city gates to meet the battle tonight.”
He said Dokgo Yuanlin put down the letter in his hand, “the same as the spies in the city reported, there is no difference in the entry, Zhao Chengjue after all just woke up, whether the rainbow compulsion is removed is still unknown, with his nature, is not our opponent, as long as captured Zhao Chengjue, the war will be over, Northern Jiny will be obediently bowed to submit? “
Doku Yuanlin laughed, as if he had seen victory beckoning towards him.
“Compared to his father, Zhao Zun, Zhao Chengjue is indeed a bit younger, but father is still wise and wise, once we take Biancheng, the emperor will definitely reward us heavily.” The voice of Dokko lonely bed was cold, a silver armor cold like iron, where the eyebrows are all cold and cold.
“Once the city gates are opened, Biancheng will definitely lose!” Dokugou is very confident, Dokugou has been in contact with poison since childhood, the art of witchcraft and compulsion may not find a counterweight to the entire southern ginger, Dokugou family has been a family of witchcraft and compulsion for generations, the position in southern ginger can not be replaced.
As long as the gate of Biancheng is open, Doku lonely will be able to not bother to fly the force of the entire northern Jinyin soldiers and horses will be beaten, let the southern ginger bullying.
“After cleaning up the North Jinyin, the next one is Dongming, this general does not believe that the right minister can cover the sky with one hand, so many years finally found the opportunity to compete with each other!”
Xiao Wei’s fame is well known in all the countries. When mentioning Southern Jiang, Dokgo’s family may not know, but when mentioning Dongming’s right minister, everyone knows about it.
Dokuroku smiled, “Father, I’ll go and make arrangements.”
“Go on.”
As the night grew darker, Zhao Chengjue stood at the city gate and glanced at Wei Xin, “How are the preparations going?”
Wei Xin looked at Zhao Chengjue with conviction, “Don’t worry, we’ve quietly gotten a lot of them in the past few days, so we’ll release them later to show Your Majesty.
Wei Xin stretched his arms and legs, his body had been itching for a long time, this time he had to make a painful fight, to show these southern barbarians.
“Your Highness?” Vice Admiral Wen and Vice Admiral Zhang were ready to go.
Zhao Chengjue came down from the city tower and raised his hand, the city gate creaked with an ear-splitting sound and slowly opened. It took a whole incense burner before the city gate was completely opened, and Zhao Chengjue, with his horse’s belly clenched tightly under his crotch, leaped up and rushed out, followed by the people behind him, with great momentum and the sound of horses’ hooves.
Nine beads stood in front of the house to look at this scene, frowning.
“Jiuzhu, it’s cold outside, go back, don’t stand outside and wait for a long time.” Gu Daniang soothed JiuZhu, JiuZhu nodded, until the silhouette could not be seen before following Gu Daniang into the house, the body is also warm, this night JiuZhu sleepiness disappeared, alone in the house for a long time to write words.
Outside the city
Zhao Chengjue raised his hand and pulled out one from the quiver behind him, lit the fire and shot it towards a short distance away, a fire flickered and was soon lit up in a ball.
“Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Northern Jinyin, we meet again.” Lone coverlet sitting on horseback, all smiles in his eyes, looking at Zhao Chengjue carefully will find that there is a lot of contempt in this smile, “I advise you to admit defeat, using your Highness the Crown Prince in exchange for ten cities in Northern Jinyin is not a loss.”
The corner of Zhao Chengjue’s mouth picked up a smile, “Southern Jiang people are so fond of dreaming, lonely general, the last account, we should also settle it properly.”
Lone Covert picked up a whistle made of bones hanging around his neck and blew it into the sky for a while, Zhao Chengjue hooked his lips, picked up his longsword and stabbed at Lone Covert across the horse, Lone Covert’s body dodged backwards, narrowly avoiding the sword, and soon lifted the longsword in his hand and fought with Zhao Chengjue, both of them bursting with energy, neither of them letting anyone go.
Zhao Chengjue’s eyebrows crossed with sharpness, leaped up and kicked the horse’s head fiercely, the horse was frightened and raised its two front hooves to hiss, Lone Solitary’s face changed slightly and both hands tugged the reins tightly, almost being thrown out by the horse, then Zhao Chengjue quickly drew an arrow from the bamboo quiver and aimed it at Lone Solitary.
Lone Solitary’s face changed slightly, he let go of the reins in his hands and rolled directly to the ground, before he could react, Lone Solitary’s body was kicked out, Lone Solitary looked back, but saw Wei Xin grinning at himself, the horse’s hooves just landed splashing a lot of dust, Lone Solitary was angry and furious, gritted his teeth and rolled around on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhao Chengjue indignantly.
“Despicable!”
“So what if you’re despicable?” The arrow in Zhao Chengjue’s hand was pointed straight at Lone Solitary, Doku Solitary was shocked, “You weren’t poisoned at all!”
Zhao Chengjue’s arrow moved slightly the next moment, aiming at Vice General Wen who was about to step forward and raise his sword, Vice General Wen froze and was a bit vain, “Is Your Highness alright?”
Zhao Chengjue’s hand loosened, and the arrow in his hand flew out with a whoosh, directly piercing the chest of Vice Admiral Wen, who looked at Zhao Chengjue in bewilderment, his eyes wide with disbelief, but a lot of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a bang, dead.
The second arrow in Zhao Chengjue’s hand was aimed accurately at Vice General Zhang, who fell to the ground before he had time to react, just like Vice General Wen, and soon breathed his last.
All this Lone Covert saw in his eyes and looked at Zhao Chengjue in a daze.
“How many cities of Southern Jiang can you say you can exchange for you?” Zhao Chengjue looked at Lone Covert from a high position, Lone Covert had just broken several ribs with a hard kick, and was struggling with injuries all over.
“Hmph, the Dokgo family has no defeated captives, you guys don’t be delusional, besides it’s still undecided who will win or lose today.” Doklam solitary now and then look to the sky.
“Waiting for your group of poisonous butterflies?” Wei Xin sighed, “Hey, I’m afraid it’s hard to cackle!”
“You!” Lone Coverlet looked at Wei Xin with incredibly wide eyes, his pulse flowing backwards, tightly covering his chest, “What exactly did you do?”
Wei Xin smiled brightly and ignored Lone Solitary’s words, Lone Solitary still refused to die, gritting his teeth, he went up and yanked one of the cavalrymen, dragged the man off, got on the horse alone, his body clinging to the horse’s back, and quickly left the view with a single ride.
The soldiers of Southern Jiang saw that Lone Covert had left and were not interested in fighting, they immediately fought and retreated.
Wei Xin nodded, and each of them led their own troops and horses to catch up with them.
A rocket was inserted into the other side’s tent, Lone Yuanlin was waiting for good news, even prepared for the celebration feast, but heard the chaos outside, immediately lifted the tent to check, just as a scout returned to report the news.
“General, the young general is wounded and is heading back.”
No need to listen to the scout’s report, Doku Yuanlin heard the chaotic voices in his ears and knew that something was wrong, “How dare you, everyone follow the general to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
Perhaps it was because they were too close to Biancheng that they underestimated Zhao Chengjue, but in half an hour’s time, the two sides had already met together, Lone Coverlet turned over and dismounted, his face was pale and he could hardly stand up, “Dok pro, it’s a trick, Zhao Chengjue and Wei Xin were not hit by the rainbow compulsion at all, Zhao Cheng… Zhao Chengjue just shot the two vice generals Wen and Zhang on the battlefield, and the spies…”
Lone Coverlet was covering his chest, and his internal organs were in pain, Lone Yuanlin saw this and immediately had someone arrange for Lone Coverlet to go in and rest.
The next moment, an arrow was inserted diagonally into the back of Lone Coverlet’s chest. Lone Coverlet looked incredulously at the arrow in front of his chest, piercing through the armor and emerging from the blood-stained sharp arrow.
“Coverlet!” Dokku Yuanlin looked at this scene in a daze, Dokku Songbun was Lone Yuanlin’s most favored child, but he did not expect Dokku Songbun to die right in front of him.
“Letting you two see each other before you die, Lone is also considered righteous enough.” The corner of Zhao Chengjue’s mouth picked up a smile, from the beginning to the end Zhao Chengjue had no intention to let Dokugou Liao go, but only to boost the morale of the Northern Jinyin army, and to anger Dokugou Yuanlin.
Dokgo Yuanlin clenched his fist tightly and looked at Zhao Chengjue with red eyes, “Originally, I thought you’d stay alive, but now it’s not necessary.”
Zhao Chengjue put away his positive color and drew his sword, “There is indeed a score to settle between us, the score of Qin Ling, the wife of the Dongming Xiao family thirty-two years ago, should also be settled.”
Qin Ling is Xiao Emer’s birth mother, Zhao Chengjue’s grandmother, just gave birth to Xiao Emer not long after the strange death, only later found out that Qin Ling’s death and Nan Jiang related.
Hearing this familiar name, Dokgo Yuanlin laughed coldly, “I should have killed your mother at the beginning to eliminate future problems, so that you, the little beast, would not be able to run wild in front of me!”
Zhao Chengjue’s face suddenly turned cold and he rushed at Doku Yuanlin with his sword, and the two of them soon fought with each other, swords and sparks flying everywhere, neither one giving way to the other.
Zhao Chengjue and Dokgo Yuanlin fought hard, and Dokgo Yuanlin coldly snorted, “I underestimated you, the prince, but you’re still young, you don’t want to live in peace, but come to the battlefield to die, don’t worry, for the sake of old grudges, this general will not be merciful!
Zhao Chengjue hooked his lips and smiled, but did not speak.
About an hour or so later, Wei Xin’s soldiers and horses came around to the rear, lighting fires all the way, not loving the battle, running around, and seeing a huge fire from afar.
Lone Yuanlin looked back, and the anger in his eyes intensified, and his sword became more and more powerful. Between them, Lone Yuanlin jumped onto his horse, raised his sword high in his hand, and slashed at Zhao Chengjue.
“Bastard, you are lucky today, let’s fight again some other day!”
Lone Yuanlin rolled over and kicked at Zhao Chengjue with great force, fortunately Zhao Chengjue reacted quickly to avoid it, but at the other end Lone Yuanlin had already rolled onto his horse and whistled fiercely at the sky, “Retreat!”
Zhao Chengjue covered his chest tightly, he was shocked by the shock of Lone Yuanlin just now, and then he looked at Lone Yuanlin was already far away.
“Your Highness, should we pursue?”
Zhao Chengjue shook his head, “No hurry, go back first.”
Southern Jiang people have always been known for their courage and sturdiness, which is one of the reasons why Northern Jinn have not taken advantage of them for so many years, this time Zhao Chengjue was able to take advantage of them, also because of the surprise, only blame the lonely family too much jade self-confidence, a moment of carelessness, if you want to chase after them may not be able to get advantage.
“But your highness, this is a good opportunity ah…” the deputy general was advising, watching the soldiers and horses of Southern Jiang fall away.
Zhao Chengjue, however, did not listen any more and turned his horse around to rejoin the city. Wei Xin drove his horse forward, “The death of Lone Coverlet must have made Dokku Yuanlin furious, Dokku Coverlet is the most outstanding heir of this generation of the Dokku family, so easy to raise so big, but was aborted…”
The more Wei Xin thought about it, the more painful it was, and with it, the smile at the corners of his mouth could not be stopped, Lone Solitary was insidious and cunning, bad natured, in his hands I do not know how many people have died, stay on the great danger to northern Jinyin.
Zhao Chengjue hooked his lips, “There is still gas to suffer in the future.”
The only people who can learn the forbidden arts are the heirs of the Lone Solitary Family, who are not qualified to learn them, in order to prevent people from being unscrupulous and taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, so only the first line can be selected as disciples, also to protect the rights of the Lone Solitary Family, Lone Solitary is the first son and heir, talented, a good seedling, but died under Zhao Chengjue’s arrows, you can imagine the blow to the Lone Solitary Family.
Wei Xin grinned, “That’s right, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses at once, and was chased away, I think he can’t lose his face, he can finally sleep well.”
Several lieutenants did not expect Zhao Chengjue to give up such a good opportunity and did not catch up with them, but instead went back to prepare for rest with a bland face, they dared not say anything even if they were angry, but they had seen with their own eyes how Zhao Chengjue had shot Vice General Wen and Vice General Zhang on the battlefield.
Soon after, the crimes of Vice Admiral Wen and Vice Admiral Zhang were announced to the public, and Zhao Chengjue severely punished a few people who were close to the two Vice Admirals as an example to others, and with this move, no one dared to underestimate the young Crown Prince anymore.
Zhao Chengjue came back only at dawn, Jiu Zhu was already sleeping on the collapse, Zhao Chengjue was much lighter on his feet, looking at Jiu Zhu’s thin face, his heart was very pitying, since he had never had a day of peace since he came to Biancheng, it was hard for Jiu Zhu.
In her sleep, Jiu Zhu noticed that there was someone beside her, warm, and with the heat, Jiu Zhu’s little body arched and her two little hands naturally wrapped around Zhao Cheng Jue’s waist, and her little head naturally rubbed against it, the corners of her mouth raised, finding her familiar position.
Zhao Chengjue squinted and slept shallowly for about two hours, only to feel a small hand wandering on his chest, suddenly opening his eyes, only to see Jiu Zhu’s little head in front of him, kneeling on the bed with his little body pouting, very seriously lowering his head to find something, touching the east and the west.
Zhao Chengjue cleared his throat and pressed Jiu Zhu’s little hand, “What are you doing?”
Jiu Zhu raised her eyes and met Zhao Cheng Jue’s eyes, grinning, “You’re awake, I’m looking for any injuries on you.”
Zhao Chengjue gathered his clothes with one hand and said in a deep voice, “I’m not hurt, Jiu Zhu, don’t do that again.”
Jiu Zhu looked at Zhao Cheng Jue confusedly, and Zhao Cheng Jue explained, “Men and women are different, girls should know how to be reserved, or they will be laughed at in the future.”
Jiu Zhu nodded as if she understood, and Zhao Cheng Jue first sighed in relief, then heard Jiu Zhu say, “Then why don’t you just not tell anyone, no one will know.”
Zhao Chengjue choked on Jiu Zhu’s big, innocent eyes, Zhao Chengjue wanted to bite off his tongue, what was the point of talking to a four year old about this, Zhao Chengjue patiently explained, “I’m talking about you to other men, just because I don’t tell, doesn’t mean that others will keep your secret.”
Jiu Zhu propped up her little head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Then I don’t look at other people’s, that’s all.”
This was also true and not true.
Zhao Chengjue did not continue to elaborate on this matter, vaguely responded, lifted the quilt and got up, looked at Jiu Zhu, “Get ready, we will not be in the house these two days, I will take you to a place.”
The first time I heard this, my eyes lit up and I nodded, and I nimbly got off the floor and put on my own clothes, and Zhao Chengjue ordered someone to bring the jacket, which was specially sewn for Jiu Zhu, and the snow-white wool was tightly wrapped.
“Are you leaving now?” Wei Xin rushed to ask.
“I’ll be back the morning after tomorrow at the latest, so get everything ready.” Zhao Chengjue looked at Wei Xin and instructed him to say a few words, Wei Xin nodded in response and bent down to look at Jiu Zhu, “Jiu Zhu is getting prettier and prettier, in a few years I’m afraid the threshold will be broken.”
Zhao Chengjue gave Wei Xin a sidelong glance, ignored the words, and led Jiu Zhu to the carriage, but Jiu Zhu had not yet understood the meaning of Wei Xin’s words, and asked as soon as he got on the carriage, “What does Brother Wei mean by that?
“His words are difficult for others to understand, so there is no need to take them seriously.”
“Oh.” Jiu Zhu nodded, did not think much about it, all the way were very excited, from time to time lift the curtain to see the snow scene outside the car window, the snow has stopped, the wheels of the car walked in the snow crunching sound, printed a long trace.
After walking for most of the day, Jiu Zhu looked more and more familiar with this road, as if he had seen it somewhere, and turned his head to look at Zhao Cheng Jue, “This is… going to Lianshan Village?”
Zhao Chengjue nodded.
Jiu Zhu’s face instantly fell and she walked to Zhao Cheng Jue’s side, her eyes slightly red.
It was close to evening when they arrived at Lianshan Village, Jiu Zhu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar everything in front of her, and was a bit frozen, her tears couldn’t stop flowing out, the originally lively village was suddenly quite quiet, those familiar people had disappeared.
Suddenly listened to a shout, several children running around in the snow, frolicking and chasing each other, nine beads froze.
“They are all soldiers’ families, and stragglers, I settled them here temporarily, what happened before will never happen again, Jiu Zhu, what is past is past, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, that incident before had nothing to do with you, even without your presence, it will still be the same result as before, this matter is the court’s negligence.”
Zhao Chengjue thought about it for a long time, Jiu Zhu’s mouth did not mention it but his heart always remembered it, instead of just avoiding it, he should just let Jiu Zhu face it, and when he really thought about it, he would not hold on to it in the future.
“You are Jiu-zhu, right? I am Aunt Wen. Come on, my steamed buns are just finished, it’s time to eat them.”
Auntie Wen, who was passing by to call the children for dinner, saw Jiu Zhu halfway and warmly welcomed her as a guest, and Jiu Zhu was flattered.
Zhao Chengjue was dressed in coarse black cloth, and no one knew the identity of Zhao Chengjue, who also followed Jiu Zhu to Aunt Wen’s house.
“We are disliked everywhere we go, we have no place to live, no land, we can’t even afford to feed ourselves, but fortunately we met a good man who can put us here and give us a bite to eat.
Aunt Wen is very kind, there are two children in the house, both girls, these two people are Aunt Wen picked up on the side of the road, see them dying of hunger, in the heart to bring around, give a bite to eat, barely able to mix a subsistence.
The two little girls look at Jiu Zhu are very friendly, smiling at Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu is also very happy, mouth gnawing Aunt Wen handmade white steamed buns, fragrant, bite a big mouth, and soon play with the two little girls to a piece.
When she left Aunt Wen’s house, Aunt Wen gave Jiu Zhu two steamed buns, which Jiu Zhu accepted without ceremony and thanked her politely.
Compared with the old Lianshan Village, today’s Lianshan Village is more about harmony and friendliness among neighbors and cherishing this hard-won stability.
Everywhere he passed, he could hear laughter, and Jiu Zhu held Zhao Cheng Jue’s hand as he walked along. As the night grew dark, Zhao Cheng Jue stopped in front of a house with a lantern hanging in front of it, and the door of the courtyard creaked open, and a faint scent of medicine came from it.
Jiu Zhu looked at the small courtyard in front of him with surprise and joy, “This is?”
“I don’t know what kind of house you used to live in, this is reserved for you, if one day Master Qing comes back, you won’t be unable to find your home.”
Zhao Chengjue said reaching out and pushing open the fence, taking the lead and lifting his feet to go forward, followed by Jiu Zhu all the way, the house also has simple furniture, pots and pans are ready-made, Zhao Chengjue very skillfully lit the fire of the stove, it took a while for the house to warm up, and brand new bedding.
“Stay here tonight.” Zhao Chengjue briefly wiped Jiu Zhu’s face and hands and feet, and laid out the blanket so that Jiu Zhu could get under it and save herself from freezing.
Jiu Zhu sucked in her nose, “Your Highness, you are so kind.”
“Nothing to do with you, this is what I should have done, all the villagers of Lianshan Village are also the people of Beijin.” Zhao Chengjue said while patting Jiu Zhu’s shoulder, “It’s getting late, go to bed early.”
Jiu Zhu nodded and moved from her side to Zhao Cheng Jue’s side, burying her head in Zhao Cheng Jue’s shoulder, smelling the familiar aroma, and unconsciously closing her eyes.
The next day, Jiu Zhu opened her eyes at the aroma that came to her nose, and Zhao Cheng Jue came in with two steaming bowls of noodles with lime green wild vegetables on top, and Jiu Zhu sniffed as her little stomach rumbled and sucked hard.
“Get up and eat, you have to go out later.” Zhao Chengjue shouted, put the noodles on the table, and handed Jiu Zhu the still-warm clothes from under the quilt.
Jiu Zhu nodded immediately and quickly dressed herself, sitting on the stool and eating most of the bowl of noodles, but the bowl was too big, so Jiu Zhu rubbed her stomach and couldn’t eat any more.
Zhao Chengjue saw the situation and reached out and took the rest of Jiu Zhu’s noodles over, lowering his head and eating them without losing his elegance, Jiu Zhu narrowed his eyes and burped with satisfaction, “This noodle is delicious.”
Zhao Chengjue put down his bowl and chopsticks and squinted at Jiu Zhu, who immediately smiled at Zhao Chengjue like a dog, “I’m telling the truth.”
“Hmm.” Zhao Chengjue gave a faint hmph, carried Jiu Zhu down to the ground and put on Jiu Zhu’s clothes, holding Jiu Zhu’s hand as he walked outside.
After the two of them had eaten, Zhao Chengjue led Jiu Zhu out of the small courtyard and went to an open space on the back slope of the hill, which was lined with headstones that stood out.
Jiu Zhu searched for a long time, “There’s no Master’s is there?”
“Mm.” Zhao Chengjue nodded his head.
Jiu Zhu sniffed and took Zhao Cheng Jue’s hand, Zhao Cheng Jue reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s dark hair, “I promise you that I will give the villagers of Lianshan Village an explanation.”
Jiu Zhu nodded her head.
An hour later, Zhao Chengjue led Jiu Zhu down the mountain, Jiu Zhu’s mood had calmed down a lot and she smiled at Zhao Chengjue.
Zhao Chengjue led Jiu Zhu out of Lianshan Village, Jiu Zhu occasionally pointed out the feng shui along the way, “There are many, many herbs on that mountain, I often go to pick them, and there are many birds and beasts on the mountain.”
Zhao Chengjue smiled lightly as he listened.
The two of them rode on horseback, swaying all the way towards Biancheng, and as the night grew dark, Jiu Zhu shrank and put her little head in Zhao Chengjue’s arms, squinting and smiling.
It was midnight before the two returned to Biancheng, Jiu Zhu was already asleep, Wei Xin was already waiting at the door, and when Zhao Cheng Jue had settled Jiu Zhu, he immediately came forward.
“Vice General Jane has sent word that Lone Yuanlin has set up camp a hundred kilometers northwest of Xuancheng, and the entire Lone Family is out in force.”
Zhao Chengjue smiled and squinted at Wei Xin, “Where is Lone Covert?”
“The corpse poison has already taken effect, anyone who has come into contact with Lone Solitary will have traces of it on their bodies, and it won’t take more than two or three days for it to spread.”
“Proceed according to the original plan!” Zhao Chengjue changed into a silver and white armor, ordered all three troops, and rushed all the way to the northwest while it was slightly light.
When Jiu Zhu woke up, he had already returned to his original house. Jiu Zhu’s eyes looked at the shelf, which was empty, the war uniform was gone, Jiu Zhu did not lose heart, climbed up and got down, dressed himself, and when the hour came Gu Daniang would come to deliver the meal.
The nine beads are also very well behaved.
…
The outbreak of an epidemic in Xuancheng, South Jiang, spread very quickly, and everyone was terrified everywhere they passed by.
The entire city was in chaos. Lone Yuanlin was angry and furious, and finally investigated the dead Lone Coverlet, and burned his beloved son’s body in public with pain.
“Zhao Chengjue!” Dokgo Yuanlin squeezed out three words from his teeth, hating Zhao Chengjue so much that he could not wait to cut him into pieces to relieve his anger.
“General, there are a group of Northern Jins in the city, spreading rumors everywhere, and several neighboring towns also know that Xuancheng is suffering from an epidemic, now the city is full of complaints, and every pharmacy has been robbed.”
The only thing is that the witchcraft family is being counted on, but it’s just a small epidemic, it can’t kill anyone.
“Ignorant and ignorant, all of them are stupid!” Doku Yuanlin was furious and cursed, displeased with the people of Xuancheng.
In a short time, another guard came, “General, the emperor sent word to the general to solve the epidemic as soon as possible, and sent a few eunuchs…”
The guard stopped in the middle of his sentence, the eunuchs were all killed halfway, leaving no one alive, not only that, the soldiers of Northern Jinyin had bypassed Xuancheng and besieged the next city, Lone Yuanlin was trapped in Xuancheng, in a dilemma, bad news came every day.’
The next day, he gave an order for a few fresh-faced guards to dress up as eunuch doctors and treat the people, but all those who had any abnormalities were imprisoned and not allowed to leave their homes.
It took half a month for Dokgo Yuanlin to find the time. Dokgo Yuanlin abandoned his car and blocked the whole Xuancheng, forbidding anyone to come out, and brought all the soldiers and horses into the next city, which was equivalent to giving up the people of a city, although it was a bad name, but it was also a helpless move.
Zhao Chengjue was a bit surprised, “You are really ruthless, even your own people refuse to let go.”
“If they weren’t, the Lonely Family wouldn’t have only one faction of the first family. It is said that every heir would kill their concubine sisters and brothers to eliminate the roots.” Wei Xin was equally saddened.
“No matter, this move lonely Yuan Lin has already lost the hearts of the people.” Zhao Chengjue withdrew his gaze from the map, “Nan Jiang still has 200,000 troops deployed at the border of Nan Jiang and Dong Ming…”
“Even if we lend the Emperor of Southern Jiang ten guts, we wouldn’t dare to move these 200,000 troops. Once they are relocated, it will only take a few months for Dongming to enter Southern Jiang, thanks to Dongming holding Southern Jiang in check.”
Zhao Chengjue smiled lightly, “This is true, it has come to this point, it is necessary to distinguish a winner from a loser, so as not to lose all the efforts, and in the future will let more people suffer.”
The war between Northern Jinyin and Southern Jiang has been a very long time, the two countries are not equal in strength, each has won and lost, both sides do not let anyone, Jiu Zhu has been used to ten days and a half months, the longest even half a year did not see Zhao Chengjue, but every month Zhao Chengjue will send a letter to.
Day after day, three years have passed, Jiu Zhu is already seven years old, her body has grown a lot taller, her face is getting more and more beautiful, her palm-sized cheeks have delicate features, a light green dress wrapped around her body, she is tinkering with something in her hands, she looked at the mirror and was very satisfied.
Suddenly the deafening sound of drums and shouting came to her ears, Jiu Zhu immediately stood up, it must be Zhao Cheng Jue who had returned.
Three years had passed, and Zhao Chengjue had grown taller and more mature, more wise than before, but still the same elegant and domineering prince.
Zhao Chengjue could see the light green figure on the city wall at a glance.
“Look, it’s Jiu Zhu.” Wei Xin looked at Zhao Chengjue with a bearded face, he was no longer the same elegant gentleman, even his clothes had been torn in several places, Wei Xin did not care.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!”
The city gates opened wide and Zhao Chengjue stepped into Biancheng under the eyes of the people of Biancheng. Zhao Chengjue lived up to the expectations and took the entire lonely army in one fell swoop, breaking three cities in a row, and Nan Jiang took the initiative to go and make a truce and surrender to Bei Jin.
Through the sea of people, Jiu Zhu could only look at the man on horseback from afar, watching from afar, Jiu Zhu covered her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes full of pride.
It was not until the evening that Zhao Chengjue returned, and Jiu Zhu had prepared a table full of wine and food just waiting for Zhao Chengjue to return.
As soon as Zhao Chengjue entered, Jiu Zhu immediately looked at Zhao Chengjue with a smile, “Congratulations on your triumphant return, Your Highness.”
Zhao Chengjue put down the helmet in his hand and lifted his feet to the table and sat down, “You have made great progress.”
“It’s because of Dame Gu’s good teaching.”
The two people were like relatives, they didn’t have to say a word more to be close, Jiu Zhu sat down across from Zhao Cheng Jue and suddenly deflated her mouth.
“What’s wrong with this?” Zhao Chengjue put down his chopsticks, but his body did not move, and looked at Jiu Zhu in confusion. Jiu Zhu sniffed, jumped off the stool and walked around the table to Zhao Chengjue’s side, reached out and wiped a scar on Zhao Chengjue’s jaw, as long as a finger, with a light red mark.
“How did you get this?”
Jiu Zhu reached up and touched the scar, which was so close to his throat that a slight inattention could have cost Zhao Chengjue his life.
“Bumps and bruises are inevitable on the battlefield, it looks scary, but it didn’t bleed much and didn’t hurt at all.” Zhao Chengjue pretended to say lightly.
Jiu Zhu grunted and asked, “Are there any more injuries?”
Zhao Chengjue shook his head.
“That’s more like it.”
Zhao Chengjue, as always, gave Jiu Zhu dishes, even though it had been almost a year since we had seen each other, Jiu Zhu was happy today and had a big bowl of rice before he put down his chopsticks, Zhao Chengjue was not picky at all, obviously eating very ordinary food, but it was as if he was eating a mountain of food, sweeping up the rest of the meal.
It was getting dark, and Jiu Zhu had already washed up and climbed onto the bed.
Zhao Chengjue stood outside the screen and did not come in, “There are still some things to be dealt with tonight, you should sleep first, no need to wait for me.”
Jiu Zhu didn’t think much about it, and nodded in response. In the past three years, Jiu Zhu had gotten used to sleeping alone.
Slowly Jiu Zhu realized that it was not normal, since Zhao Cheng Jue came back from this victory, he never slept in the house, every day he was busy with business, or just slept in the study, Jiu Zhu rubbed his eyes and frowned.
He stopped Zhao Chengjue in between dinner, “Your Highness is busy with official business again today?”
Zhao Chengjue nodded, but Jiu Zhu hummed and gathered up the quilt, “I’ll go too.”
Zhao Chengjue frowned and refused without even thinking, “No!”
“Why?”
Zhao Chengjue sighed helplessly, “Jiu Zhu, the ancient book says that men and women have different seats at the age of seven, let alone on the same couch, if word gets out it will be laughed at.”
Jiu Zhu’s face wrinkled into a bun shape, this time no matter what Jiu Zhu said, Zhao Cheng Jue still sent Jiu Zhu outside, without any mercy, Jiu Zhu stomped her feet in anger, her eyes were red with aggression, and she ignored Zhao Cheng Jue for several days.
Jiu Zhu was sent off with the excuse that she was seven years old and had a different seat, and there was no room for discussion.
The two persisted for a full half month, no one was discouraged and compromised.
“This is strange, in the past, they were as good as one person, why did they fall out?” Even Wei Xin noticed that something was wrong and smiled at Jiu Zhu.
Jiu Zhu turned her head and ignored Wei Xin.
Wei Xin didn’t care, and looked at Zhao Chengjue, who still ignored Wei Xin’s words with a stern face, but asked, “How are the arrangements?”
“Everything has been arranged, and we will be leaving for Kyoto in three days.” Wei Xin said.
Zhao Chengjue nodded, and when Vice Admiral Jane entered the door, Zhao Chengjue immediately said, “This battle was a great achievement for Vice Admiral Jane, and I will report it truthfully when I return to the capital.
Vice General Jane kneeled on the ground, sincerely afraid, “I am grateful to Your Highness, if not for Your Highness’s strategy, the last general may not be able to have today, the last general may not be able to assume the role of Biancheng City Lord.”
The first thing that happened was that he was a general who looked after the grain and straw, but he was lucky enough to catch Zhao Chengjue’s eye and was given an important task by Zhao Chengjue. If he was asked to be the lord of the city, it would be difficult for him to do so for a while, so he came here to excuse himself.
“Vice Admiral Jane, this is a military order!” Zhao Chengjue said in a cold voice.
Vice General Jian could not resist, so he could only nod his head and answer, “I will do my best to die, and I will not dare to disappoint Your Majesty and the Emperor.”
Three days later, Zhao Chengjue returned to the capital with his troops, while Jiu Zhu sat in the carriage.
“I want to ride a horse.”
This is the first time that Jiu Zhu and Zhao Cheng Jue cold war up, Jiu Zhu spoke, Zhao Cheng Jue raised his eyebrows but did not refuse.
—— off-topic ——
Around 9:30 in the third shift
The first time I got on a horse, I was a little nervous at first, but after a while I saw that the horse was docile and relaxed my guard, my red lips curled up and I looked at Zhao Chengjue and hummed.
As if to say, look, I can do it alone.
Zhao Chengjue saw a flash of laughter in his eyes swept by, did not look at Jiu Zhu, but the corner of the eye to Jiu Zhu, under his own eyes, Zhao Chengjue also let Jiu Zhu vent.
“Humph!” Jiu Zhu grunted at Zhao Cheng Jue, repeatedly trying to find fault with him, but unfortunately Zhao Cheng Jue had seen through Jiu Zhu’s mind and did not pay attention to it, only thinking that Jiu Zhu was still a child and had not yet lost his anger because of the matter of sleeping together.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s rare to see you so indifferent to Jiu Zhu.” Wei Xin couldn’t help but be curious and came forward, Zhao Chengjue gave Wei Xin an oblique look.
“She is not three or four years old anymore, she should understand some things and not be subjected to words.”
The corners of Wei Xin’s mouth curled up in a smile, but she didn’t persuade him anymore, she just said a few words to Zhao Chengjue and didn’t say anything on Jiu Zhu’s behalf.
The nine beads see the situation is even more irritated, holding a stomach full of anger did not see Zhao Chengjue said a word, too angry.
After leaving Biancheng and rushing towards Kyoto, it was getting dark and Jiu Zhu was still bumping around on the horse, her back was sore and unbearable, Jiu Zhu frequently held her waist and frowned, but she gritted her teeth and didn’t say anything.
Zhao Chengjue frowned and ordered Mo Yu to the side, “Stop at the nearest post ahead, settle down and rest for a day, then continue the journey tomorrow.”
Mo Yu immediately nodded, “Yes!”
Jiu-zhu bit her lip, finally reached the entrance of the post, about to get off the carriage suddenly heard a shout, there are many people chasing something behind.
The reins in Jiu Zhu’s hand had not yet had time to loosen, only to hear the horse neigh, Jiu Zhu was frightened and turned white, but Zhao Cheng Jue was extremely quick to roll over and sit behind Jiu Zhu, shielding Jiu Zhu in his arms, his hand tightly strangled the reins and did not let go, and soon brought the horse under control.
“It’s okay.” Zhao Chengjue reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s little head, Jiu Zhu tugged tightly on Zhao Chengjue’s hand, her face still not dazed, and reached out and pointed to the figure under the horse’s hooves.
“She…”
“Catch her!” Several women behind them were scrambling to come first, and at first glance at the battle, they froze.
“Girl, help…help me…” The figure under the horse’s hooves slowly raised her eyes and looked at Jiu Zhu, with blood at the corner of her mouth, one of her legs was trampled by the horse’s hooves, and she was struggling painfully on the ground, with a flash of panic in her eyes.
Jiu Zhu was frightened, but seeing that the girl was small and covered in blood, she was moved with compassion, “Why don’t you save her?”
Zhao Chengjue winked at Mo Yu, who had arrived, and Mo Yu immediately had two guards help the girl into the post and find a doctor to see her.
“Sir, this girl is from our Yi Hong House, she didn’t mean to disturb you, so please return her to us?”
The man saw the soldiers and horses behind Zhao Chengjue, vast, they know that the identity is not vulgar more can not afford to mess with, so the face is also a lot more pleasant.
Mo Yu took out a silver ingot directly from his bosom and threw it to the woman in charge, who was pleased to receive it, but still a little insistent.
“You nearly hurt our family nobleman, this account if traced, you can not eat away!” Mo Yu cold face reprimanded, really do not like these few insatiable people.
The man saw that Mo Yu was not to be messed with, so he took the silver and obediently retreated.
Zhao Chengjue carried Jiu Zhu and rolled off the horse, holding Jiu Zhu steady with his big hands, all the way into the post, Jiu Zhu took a while to recover her face and turned her head to look at Zhao Chengjue, “Is that girl dead?”
Before Zhao Chengjue could say anything, he heard Wei Xin shake his head, “She’s lost a lot of blood, but she doesn’t look like she’s going to make it, she’s as thin as a chicken.”
Jiu Zhu frowned and stood at the door listening to the movement inside, it took a while for the doctor to come out, last time because of Zhao Cheng Jue’s injury, the eunuch doctors accompanying him were left in Biancheng as a punishment for them, this doctor was Dr. Yuan who was favored by Zhao Cheng Jue in Biancheng and accompanied him all the way to the army.
Dr. Yuan took a long time to come out, his brow furrowed, “The girl has lost too much blood, her body is badly injured and her life is in danger, the leg injury is too serious…”
Jiu Zhu listened to the heart all seized up, she was watching the horse hoof stepped on the girl’s leg, if so die, Jiu Zhu will have to blame themselves, so to Yuan doctor said, “Yuan doctor, must save this girl, can not let her die.”
Dr. Yuan nodded, “I’ll do my best.”
Jiu Zhu then stood at the door walking back and forth, raising her eyes now and then to look inside, because of this girl, the army stopped for three days and rested at the post for three days.
“This girl called Ruoxi’er this year 13 years old, I heard is Hongcheng people, the family suddenly suffered a great disaster, was her mother sold to a merchant as a handmaid for some silver, later this girl took advantage of people to run away, but was taken away and sold to the Yihong House, today is also the opportunity to run out and met Miss.”
Mo Yu investigated Ruoxi’s life, and Zhao Chengjue nodded at his words, “What did Dr. Yuan say?”
“He’s saved his life, but his leg is badly injured and he needs to recuperate for a few days.
Zhao Chengjue frowned.
“Can you take her with you on the road? She’s so pathetic.” Jiu Zhu sucked in her nose and pushed the door open, looking at Zhao Chengjue with watery eyes.
Zhao Chengjue didn’t say anything.
“If you agree to this, in the future…in the future I won’t look for you on the same bed.” Jiu Zhu was relieved, otherwise she had been looking for an opportunity to convince him of the matter all along the way.
“According to you.” Zhao Chengjue agreed very quickly this time.
Jiu Zhu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, the handkerchief in her hand was clenched tightly, and she slanted her eyes at Zhao Cheng Jue, he must have said that on purpose, waiting for her to ask.
On the fourth day of the journey, Jiu Zhu and Ruoxi took the carriage, Ruoxi had woken up from her coma and smiled at Jiu Zhu, “Thank you for saving me.”
Nine beads waved his hand, “I am also responsible for your injuries, don’t worry I will be responsible to the end, from now on you can call me nine beads.”
Ruoxi nodded, Ruoxi is a few years older than nine beads, but the body is thin and slim, and looks only ninety years old, leaving aside the petite body, Ruoxi is very good-looking, with curved eyebrows especially when smiling, like two crescents, eyes are smiling, there are two pear swirls, beautiful, and there is a scar on the right side of the face.
Nine beads look at the eyes show a touch of regret.
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The ninth bead nodded, “Seeing as your scar is not deep, you should be able to recover, and when you get to the capital, find two doctors to look at it, it should go away.”
“the capital?” Ruoxi looked at Jiuzhu with a puzzled expression, “Why do you want to go to the capital?”
Before Jiu Zhu could say anything, he heard Wei Xin answer from outside the window, “The one who saved you is His Highness, the Crown Prince of the dynasty, so naturally he has to go back to the capital city.”
Ruoxi’s face turned white and she looked at Jiu Zhu in surprise, “How… how could it be His Royal Highness?”
The first time I saw him, I thought he was terrified, so I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, “It’s okay, his highness is a good man and very nice to talk to.
The first time I heard that, I was relieved to have Ruoxi with me, but I didn’t find it hard to get through the day.
Compared to the speed when they came, going back was much slower, perhaps because they were not in a hurry, and the three armies escorted the supplies behind them, stopping and going along the way.
The people cheered along the way, and everyone praised His Highness for his wisdom and wisdom.
Zhao Chengjue and Wei Xin still had to go to the palace to resume their orders, so Jiu Zhu went straight back to the Prince’s residence.
“Housekeeper Lu!” Jiu Zhu smiled and greeted Housekeeper Lu, who was so flattered that he almost didn’t recognize her.
“Miss.”
Ruoxi lifted the curtain and followed behind Jiu Zhu with her walking stick, her head bowed and looking a bit formal and timid.
The housekeeper didn’t ask too many questions because he was following Jiu Zhu. Jiu Zhu chattered very excitedly on the way, saying something to the housekeeper, who listened and occasionally smiled, occasionally echoing a few words.
Jiu Zhu looked at the house and saw how familiar the grass and trees were, as if she was back three years ago.
Ruoxi’er excused herself, “Jiu-zhu, I… I’m just a humble maid, not a guest, I’m just a maid, I can do everything.”
Jiu Zhu looked at Housekeeper Lu, who said as soon as he heard this, “Then follow Miss first, get familiar with it for the time being, there is no rush to get started.”
“Thank you, housekeeper.” Ruoxi looked at housekeeper Lu with a grateful face.
The new courtyard had been sent back by Zhao Chengjue early on to tell him to pack a courtyard for Jiu Zhu, as if he was afraid Jiu Zhu would regret it.
Jiu Zhu hummed, she endured!
“The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into. Ruoxi looked enviously at everything in the courtyard, where everyone respected Jiu Zhu as Miss, and even the housekeeper was respectful, obviously treating Jiu Zhu as her master.
Jiu Zhu changed into clean clothes, the hem of her skirt was embroidered with begonia flowers, and there were several beaded hairpins on her temples, and even several bracelets on her wrist, jingling, Jiu Zhu simply took them all off and threw them on the collapse.
“I…” Jiu Zhu was stumped by Ruoxi’s question, what is her relationship with Zhao Cheng Jue, not a teacher, not a relative, not a friend, but a friend’s apprentice, a guest living in the prince’s house, but no guest like Jiu Zhu, a three-year stay, not much different from the master of the house, and not knowing when to leave here.
The thought of leaving made Jiu Zhu’s heart very uncomfortable, perhaps because she was used to relying on Zhao Cheng Jue, Jiu Zhu had never thought about it.
“The relationship between His Highness and I is complicated, it’s hard to say for a while, I’ll tell you later when I have the chance.”
Jiu Zhu waved her hand, dismissing the question perfunctorily, and Ruoxi nodded without further questioning, during which time Butler Lu came to deliver the meal, “His Highness stayed at the palace tonight, Miss need not wait.”
Jiu-zhu was used to it and nodded her head.
When Jiu Zhu wasn’t looking, Housekeeper Lu let Ruoxi out the door and whispered a few words about the rules, “Don’t call Miss by her boudoir name anymore, call Miss, this is the Prince’s residence and there are rules everywhere, since Miss let you follow, you don’t lose face for Miss, understand?”
Ruoxi lowered her head and looked at the tips of her shoes, “But Jiu Zhu forbade me to call her Miss, she only let me call her Jiu Zhu…”
Butler Lu’s face tightened, “Where’s the nonsense, especially not in front of outsiders, you and Miss are worlds apart, can’t we compare them together, what’s it like for outsiders to see?”
“Butler, Jiu Zhu is also a girl from Lianshan Village, and I’m a girl from Wutong Village, so I don’t see any difference…” Ruoxi muttered in a low voice, but her eyes looked at Butler Lu in confusion, as if she didn’t know anything about these rules.
“So what? Jiuzhu is a thousand-year-old lady in the prince’s house, you’re a maid, Jiuzhu’s status is handpicked by His Highness, so stop nagging and just do what I tell you to do!” Butler Lu had a cold face, a look of lost patience, and Ruoxi could only nod.
“Yes.”
At that moment, Jiuzhu shouted Ruoxi’s name from inside, and Ruoxi immediately twisted her head to answer and entered the door with her walking stick.
It was a very hard fall!
“Ruoxi!” Jiuzhu hurriedly put down her chopsticks and went to help Ruoxi’er, but Ruoxi’er waved her hand, “I… slave girl, slave girl is fine, Miss need not worry.”
The first thing that happened was that the woman was not able to see the tears in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and knelt on the floor, looking at Jiu Zhu with fear and trepidation.
The first time I saw you, I was so happy.
The first thing I did was to ask for a new one.
The first time Jiu Zhu looked up, she saw Housekeeper Lu, who said, “Miss, I am in charge of all the maids who serve in the house.
“Jiuzhu…no, Miss, forget it, Ruoxi’er is fine.” Ruoxi’er squeezed out a pale smile at Jiu Zhu, stubborn and stoic, reaching out to wipe the teardrops from the corners of her eyes just enough to reveal the injured part of her hand, her slender palm still bloodied and rubbed through the skin.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the photos.
“Miss, Ruoxi’er is originally a slave girl’s life, Miss is Miss, and Ruoxi’er is lucky enough to serve Miss.” Ruoxi’s voice choked up, “Don’t worry, Miss, Ruoxi will learn the rules of the house as quickly as possible and will definitely not make things difficult for Miss.”
“Ruoxi’er, it’s not too late for you to get well first.” Jiu Zhu helped Ruoxi to stand up, Ruoxi half pushed, half stood up, Jiu Zhu looked at Housekeeper Lu, “Then why don’t you let Ruoxi be a second-class maid, so she doesn’t have to wait on you.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The first thing that happened was that the woman had to leave.
The first thing I did was to take a look at the rules, but I had to learn them when I was in the house.
“Really?” Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked at Jiu Zhu, still a little incredulous, “His Highness treats you so well, how could he let you learn the rules?”
“That was when I first came to the house, I didn’t understand anything, fortunately His Highness remembered that I was young and didn’t take it personally.”
“And how did you become a lady of the house?” Ruoxi persisted in her questioning.
“I don’t know, I somehow became a lady, and then everyone called me a lady, so gradually I became a lady.” The company’s main goal is to provide a solution to the problem.
The first guest to come to the Prince’s house not long after she returned was the cautious princess who had come to visit Jiu Zhu before her attack.
“Your child left without a word three years ago, causing this palace to worry for a while.” Princess cautiously thought of nine beads, so he came to see, at first glance nine beads almost did not recognize, compared to three years ago, nine beads, now nine beads born more and more exquisite, fade away the childish, curved eyebrows black bright eyes like stars, beautiful.
Nine beads is not recognize, reached out to pull the sleeve of the cautious princess, grinning brightly, “this is not back.”
“You!” Princess Chao ca ca reached out and rubbed Jiu Zhu’s black hair, a helpless face, and Jiu Zhu talked for a while before Princess Chao ca left the prince’s residence, before leaving, she also said that she would take Jiu Zhu to the princess’s residence in a few days.
The princess said she would pick up Jiu Zhu in a few days.
Ruoxi’er poked her head in, “That princess is so pretty, dignified and atmospheric, she looks familiar.”
“Princess Chao cautious is the mother of big brother Wei, perhaps the two were born a bit alike.” The two of them look alike.” Jiuzhu explained, and Ruoxi nodded immediately, “No wonder it looks so familiar.
The princess is not sure how Du Yulan is doing, but she vaguely remembers that she wanted Wei Xin to marry Du Yulan as her daughter-in-law.
The banquet was to celebrate Zhao Chengjue’s triumphant return and to solve the big problem in the heart of Northern Jinn, Southern Jiang is restless and has always been a problem in the heart of Northern Jinn.
The fame of Prince Zhao Chengjue was spread, and the civil and military officials raised their glasses to celebrate.
In the back hall, Xiao Emer looked up and down at her son, whom she had not seen for three years, and Zhao Chengjue immediately said, “Don’t worry, Mother, my son is fine and not injured.”
Xiao Emerg was relieved to hear this.
“Mother, what happened to my grandmother…” Before Zhao Chengjue could say anything, Xiao Emer waved her hand, “I know all about your grandmother, you did a good job.”
Zhao Chengjue suddenly heard the sound of crying and looked along the line of sight, suddenly remembering that three years ago Xiao Emer was pregnant, only to see a tiny person being held by Qing Yu, with tear marks on her face, Xiao Emer only glanced at it and withdrew her eyes, only asking faintly, “Is Old Five hungry?”
“In reply to Your Majesty, His Highness has just finished eating.” As soon as Qing Yu’s words fell, Old Fifth’s cries gradually stopped and he opened his round eyes to look at Zhao Chengjue.
As soon as Zhao Chengjue heard the word “Old Fifth”, he knew that Xiao Emerald’s heart was not in the right place, and that Old Fifth was still an imperial son.
The youngest is only two years old and is limping, having fallen two days ago and not yet healed. The oldest is really naughty and has a bruise on his face, grinning at Zhao Chengjue and reaching out for a hug.
Zhao Chengjue took the little one in his arms, and the little one giggled happily, Xiao Emerald was helpless and angry, “Little heartless one!”
Xiao Emer was helpless and angry, “Little conscienceless!” But the oldest one was too happy to know it, and soon became familiar with Zhao Chengjue, and snapped a bite on his face.
“Imperial brother!!!”
“Imperial brother!!!”
From a distance, he heard the shouting, the oldest three and the oldest four figures appeared, running sweaty, very excited, two eyes bright, two people this year nine years old, grew a lot taller, the outline of the first, it is not difficult to see handsome look.
“Royal brother!” The oldest two hands wrapped around Zhao Chengjue’s arm and did not let go, as if to show sovereignty over the oldest three and four, the oldest three and four looked at the oldest five with disgust and ignored the oldest five, the two eyes roamed around behind Zhao Chengjue, as if looking for something.
“Where’s Jiu Zhu? Why didn’t you follow along?” The fourth oldest couldn’t help but ask, once he heard that Zhao Chengjue had returned, the fourth oldest had been excited for days, waiting eagerly for Jiuzhu, pestering Xiao Emer several times day after day to ask, wanting to put wings on to go and see.
Zhao Chengjue looked at the two of them, “I’m at the house.”
“Is Jiu Zhu hurt?” The oldest asked.
Zhao Chengjue shook his head.
“Hmph, the eldest brother is biased, taking Jiu Zhu to so many places, mother mother, in the future to fight the war children also want to follow the eldest brother’s side.”
Old Fourth had been gnawing at this matter, Zhao Chengjue was too good to Jiu Zhu, actually took Jiu Zhu away, Old Fourth was envious.
Xiao Emerald slanted his eyes at Old Fourth, “How dare you go into battle and kill the enemy with that three-legged kung fu of yours?”
Old Fourth’s face turned red and he stomped his feet, “My son…my son is learning, Master even praised my son for his progress?”
“Master also praised my son.” Lao San immediately echoed.
Xiao Emerald rubbed his head and laughed a little helplessly, but Zhao Chengjue said with a stern face, “It’s good that you two can have this idea, but there’s no hurry, I’ll come to test the level of you two in a few days.”
Older three and older four looked at each other, shrinking their necks, their fear of Zhao Chengjue still in their bones, and only smiled sarcastically, but did not dare to say anything else.
Xiao Emer smiled lightly and asked a few more questions about Jiu Zhu, but Zhao Cheng Jue only said that he would have Jiu Zhu come to the palace to pay his respects in a few days, so Xiao Emer stopped the conversation.
As soon as Zhao Chengjue appeared, the civil and military officials immediately stood up to congratulate him, “We welcome His Highness the Crown Prince on his triumphant return!”
Zhao Chengjue arched his hand and looked at Emperor Bei Jin, “My son pays respects to Father.”
“Don’t be rude, today is the great joy of Northern Jinyin, all of you do not need to be restrained.” Emperor Bei Jin gave an order, all the civil and military officials were seated.
I don’t know who started, one of the ministers spoke to Emperor Beijin, “Your Majesty, His Highness has made a great achievement for Beijin, promoting the prestige of Beijin, it is a blessing for Beijin to have such a capable Crown Prince, but His Highness is not young, it is time to choose a concubine and start a family.”
“Your Majesty, His Highness does not even have a side concubine, the Crown Prince’s residence is too empty, I also think that His Highness should be the age to marry and have children, can not be delayed.”
Three years ago has been delayed once, this time is absolutely can not let Zhao Chengjue refused, the crown prince consort a still vacant hanging, the capital, the age of women are countless, can not wait to be among the crown prince, even if it is not the position of the crown prince consort, or side consort also can ah.
Half of the civil and military officials are persuaded again, the Northern Red Emperor could not resist, “the Crown Prince should indeed get married, the Crown Prince, this matter you pay attention to pay attention to.”
This means that Emperor Beijin is not going to interfere with Zhao Chengjue’s choice of concubine, but only let Zhao Chengjue choose his own, Zhao Chengjue nodded, “Yes, my son obeyed the order.”
After three rounds of wine, the night was thick, and Zhao Chengjue left the palace from the banquet, but his face did not look very good.
Wei Xin came out after him, drunk, “Cousin, why are you so angry? Several ministers are right.
Not only Zhao Chengjue, but also Wei Xin, who had become a hot and flavourful girl upon her return, was greeted by ladies everywhere she went and started recommending her own daughter.
Zhao Cheng Jue gave Wei Xin a good-natured glance, “You should mind your own business when you have time, I have my own agenda.”
“Cousin…” Wei Xin looked around and smiled at Zhao Chengjue, “Actually, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m afraid that even if you wait, the civil and military officials may not agree, it’s still a long road.”
Zhao Chengjue did not refute Wei Xin’s words this time, but looked back at Princess Chao ca, who was entangled with several ladies not far away, and gave a wink to Mo Yu, who immediately went up to Princess Chao ca and rescued her from the crowd of ladies.
“Auntie, cousin is drunk tonight, so I’ll leave it to auntie.” Zhao Chengjue shoved Wei Xin, who couldn’t even walk steadily, to Princess Chao cao.
Princess Chao ca ca immediately asked two maids to help Wei Xin, who had indeed been drunk today, but Princess Chao ca did not notice anything strange about Zhao Cheng Jue and nodded, “It’s getting late today, so go back and get some rest.
Zhao Chengjue answered, turned on his horse and rushed all the way back to the prince’s residence.
The Prince’s house was quiet, Zhao Chengjue went back to the house habitually looked at the collapse, the empty house is not that figure, can not say whether it is despondent or other, invited Lu housekeeper.
“What has Miss done today?”
Butler Lu said the afternoon’s events, Zhao Chengjue frowned slightly, “from now on Linglong Pavilion matters do not need to intervene, only send someone to advise some, let the young lady make her own arrangements.”
“Yes, my servant understands.”
Zhao Chengjue waved his hand and let housekeeper Lu quickly retreat, washing alone and thinking about the nine pearls, used to having the nine pearls by his side, it was a bit uncomfortable to have the empty ones around him, but it was hard to change the habit for a while.
This night, Zhao Chengjue lost sleep.
Zhao Chengjue got up before dawn and was alone in the courtyard for his morning exercise, a habit he had developed over the years. About half an hour later, he heard the happy sound of footsteps, kicking and tapping, accompanied by silver bell-like laughter from time to time.
The corner of Zhao Chengjue’s mouth was tinged with a curve.
“Your Highness, Your Highness.” Jiu Zhu’s figure arrived as expected, grinning at Zhao Cheng Jue, who was ignoring Jiu Zhu and practicing his sword on his own.
Jiu Zhu ran over and tugged Zhao Cheng Jue’s arm, Zhao Cheng Jue put away his sword and looked at Jiu Zhu with a stern face, “Don’t be so rash in the future, you are a big girl now.”
Jiu Zhu spat out her tongue mischievously and said she knew, but she was still in high spirits and dragged Zhao Cheng Jue to breakfast, clinging to him as she always did.
Ruoxi’s body was still small and thin after she changed into her maid’s clothes, but since she was told off by the housekeeper yesterday, Ruoxi has become much more disciplined.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the website.
Jiu Zhu’s eyes obviously lit up and she immediately put down her chopsticks.
“Jiuzhu Jiuzhu!”
From a great distance, he heard the voice of the oldest, giddy, Jiu Zhu jumped up, Zhao Cheng Jue helplessly shook his head, but did not overly restrain Jiu Zhu.
“Remember you just came back, give you three days off, three days after what you should learn, not to leave anything behind.”
Jiu Zhu nodded her head and smiled brightly at Zhao Cheng Jue, “Remember, I remember.”
The words fell, several figures appeared in front of the eyes, Jiu Zhu stood in the doorway, Lao Si still held up a cage in his hand, handed to Jiu Zhu, “Nuo, for you.”
Jiuzhu looked at the little puppy in the cage, two eyes lit up at first, and marveled repeatedly, “Wow, so cute.”
Older four scratched his head, originally there was a stomach to say, see Jiu Zhu and do not know what to say, scratching his head, and three years ago as followed Jiu Zhu behind.
“This is from the Zheng Guoguang House, a total of two, one to the imperial grandmother, one in my place.” The oldest said with bragging rights, this little puppy is the oldest worn out mouth to bring from Zheng Guoguang House, fed for two months, the teeth have not yet grown all, white fluffy without a trace of impurities, is the Zheng Guoguang family’s grandson specially from overseas to get.
The old three grunted, usually touch the old four can not be spared, surprisingly so generous to give the nine beads, the old three thin-skinned, sometimes embarrassed to open his mouth, unlike the old four no skin and no face, deep nine beads true transmission.
Nine beads of attention was immediately attracted to the little puppy, reaching out to tease the little puppy, the little puppy from time to time barked, but also stretched out his tongue to lick the fingers of nine beads, to nine beads of excitement, attention did not leave the little puppy.
“It doesn’t have a name yet, it’s well behaved.” Lao Si pulled out a small meat grain from his arms and handed it to the little puppy, who ate it clean after two barks.
Jiu Zhu pretended to ponder and thought for a while, “Let’s call it Snow Cluster, white as snow.”
The dog Xiao Emer also liked, but Lao Si was so protective that he didn’t give it to Xiao Emer, but waited all night and gave it to Jiu Zhu.
Zhao Chengjue looked helplessly and shook his head, not bothering several people.
“I also have a gift for you.” Jiu Zhu received a gift from Lao Si, naturally will read the good of the two people, took off a whistle from the neck, handed it to Lao Si, Lao Si is unknown, Jiu Zhu obeyed the whistle and blew, not long two small eagles flew over, hovering in the sky.
“No, here you are.”
The two little eagles were picked up by Jiu Zhu in the mountains, the little eagles almost froze to death in the snow, picked up by Jiu Zhu has been raised.
The oldest is holding a whistle in his hand, both eyes are lit up before he envied Zhao Chengjue has a hawk around him, now he also has.
The third scratched his little head, not expecting Jiu Zhu to give him one, and blushed and thanked him.
“Cousin Lan, look, I also have a little eagle, when it grows up later, it will definitely be more powerful than the big brother’s!” The oldest one gestures at Shen Qinglan, who smiles and nods.
“Nine beads.” Shen Qinglan smiled slightly at Jiu Zhu, Jiu Zhu rubbed his head and thought for a while before remembering who Shen Qinglan was, but the impression was too vague, it seems to have only met once.
“Hello sister Lan.” Jiu Zhu politely smiled at Shen Qinglan.
“Three years no see, more and more cute and smart, no wonder the two cousins chatter about you from time to time.” Shen Qinglan has grown even more watery than three years ago, with a delicate face, elegant and generous demeanor, and has been following the Empress Dowager Zhao’s side, and is already fourteen years old this year.
The day is almost dark, the third and fourth still fondly look at Jiu Zhu, “in a few days you come into the palace can be good, or, we also come to you tomorrow.”
Jiu Zhu’s attention was still on the little puppy, nodded haphazardly and waved her hand at a few people, “It’s getting late, let’s go.”
“How about we don’t go back tonight, send someone back to say something to the mother?” The oldest one really can’t leave, he hasn’t had enough fun yet, he still wants to listen to Jiu Zhu talk about the fun things he met outside in the past few years, the oldest one and the oldest one, although they are imperial sons, have never left the capital, they look at Jiu Zhu very enviously.
“Don’t, if the empress knows that the two highnesses are greedy and unrestrained, it will be difficult to come out again in the future.” Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, and in one sentence made the two people put away their thoughts and leave obediently.
The first thing I did was to ask for the help of a friend.
I’ve never seen such an elegant lady before.” Jiu Zhu tilted her head at Ruoxi’er, “Indeed, she’s very pretty and a lady.”
Nine beads from the beginning of knowing Shen Qinglan, Shen Qinglan is a look of adults, everywhere abide by the rules, never overstep, a young age too old into.
“Just now I heard several sisters in the house chatting, Qinglan county princess may marry to the house in the future, it looks like, Qinglan county princess is a good one to get along with.”
