Wonderful Puppet

The third prince who was kicked away clutched his neck and almost cried. How did such a tough woman be raised?He's the one who's going to be scared to death, okay?

"Jiaojiao." Luo Tianzheng hugged Zhen Miao, seeing her disheveled hair and skinny appearance, his heart ached, he reached out and stroked her hair, "It's okay, it's okay."

He was heartbroken and angry, and his strong mood swings made him feel like a deep pool in an ancient well, without showing any depth. Then, a pair of cold star-like eyes looked at the third prince lightly.

For a moment, the third prince felt that his breathing was stagnant, and it was not until Luo Tianzheng looked away that he took a deep breath.

"Jiaojiao, close your eyes." Luo Tianxuan whispered in Zhen Miao's ear.

Zhen Miao trembled all over, and closed her eyes obediently.

Luo Tianxuan said to the two hidden guards who followed him, "Take care of him."

The two hidden guards silently walked to the third prince's side.

"What are you going to do?" The third prince stared at Luo Tianzheng vigilantly.

Luo Tianxuan didn't answer, and walked up to the fallen guards step by step, raised his knife and dropped it, one, two, three...

Zhen Miao closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling non-stop, and the increasingly thick smell of blood in the air made her feel a little nauseous, but in the end, she still listened to his words, did not open her eyes, and then fell into a moist but warm room. embrace.

Perhaps it was due to the high level of mental tension and fear in the past few days. After all, Zhen Miao was just an ordinary woman, and soon fell asleep in a daze, but vaguely heard the woman's screams.

When she woke up, the sky had already darkened.

A gauze curtain with magnolia blossoms, a double-sided embroidered landscape screen, and an agate plate on the table by the window, on which several melons are placed.

All of this was all too familiar to her.It's just a lingering smell of medicine.

"Jiaojiao, you're awake."

When the same familiar voice came, Zhen Miao really regained her sanity and looked in the direction of the voice.

"My son—"

Luo Tianxuan's expression was a little tense.

Zhen Miao couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Luo Tianxuan hesitated for a long time before asking: "Jiaojiao, do you think I'm cruel?"

Zhen Miao lowered her eyes.He stared at his hands without saying a word.

Luo Tianxuan half-knelt down, with an uneasy expression he had never felt before: "Actually, this is the kind of person I am. Look, you can finally see clearly now."

Zhen Miao stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Luo Tianzheng's hand, her voice was firm: "I know you are not the kind of person who is soft-hearted. But I also know that you silenced those people to protect me. I am afraid of killing people, afraid of being burdened. I live by my life, but I'm not a fool."

Zhen Miao stared into Luo Tianzhu's eyes.Smiled lightly: "You are the one who killed for me, if you want to go to hell, then let us be together."

The faces of those guards were already blurred, but the screams of the servant girl who had been serving her for a while still seemed to be ringing in her ears.Zhen Miao pursed her lips, wanting to cry.He wanted to laugh again, and finally sighed: "It's fortunate that you came in time, otherwise I would have killed King Yan."

Luo Tianxuan paused.

Zhen Miao reacted immediately: "My lord, where is King Yan?"

Look at his expression.Zhen Miao suddenly panicked: "Could it be that you killed him?"

At that time, she thought that something happened to the son, and she had already embraced the determination to burn everything together, so she naturally had no scruples, but now it is different, the son is back, and she is also home. They still have a long time to live, how can a mouse Shit ruined it!

"Don't worry, he's fine. I just knocked him out and let him be thrown on the kang of Pork Zhang's wife in the next street."

"What?" Zhen Miao stuttered a little, "Then, didn't that hurt her?"

Luo Tianzheng chuckled: "What's the matter? The little daughter-in-law took advantage of the pork Zhang to go out to sell pig head meat. She had private meetings with her lover several times, and she had already started plotting to buy rat poison to poison the pork Zhang to death. I was saving a life." It is better to build a seven-level pagoda."

It took a long time before Zhen Miao choked out a sentence: "How do you know?"

Luo Tianxuan said nonchalantly: "The people below are doing business, I bumped into them by accident, and told it as a joke at the wine table."

He got up, poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhen Miao: "Drink some warm water."

Zhen Miao took the cup and drank it in small sips, feeling that the water was sweeter than the one nearby, hating the third prince's shamelessness even more in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's really cheap for him!"

"Don't worry, the headaches for him are yet to come." Luo Tianxuan's eyes flashed coldly.As long as he thinks of the third prince's plan to attack Jiaojiao, if it is not for Jiaojiao's quick-wittedness, he might succeed, and he can't wait to eat his flesh and blood!

Zhen Miao's eyes fell on Luo Tianzheng's rough linen clothes.

"Second aunt passed away."

Zhen Miao was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago, the funeral has already taken place. It was said to the outside world that you are sick and you can't see the wind. Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Except for those who are trustworthy, those who know that Jiaojiao has been taken into captivity have become the souls of his sword. As for King Yan and Yang Shangshu, Jiaojiao has successfully returned home when they are unable to protect themselves. Even if they want to make trouble with this matter, they are powerless up.

"By the way, where are Qingdai and Ahu?" Zhen Miao asked while grabbing Luo Tianxuan's sleeve.

"Ahu broke two ribs, but he has a good foundation, and he will be fine after a period of time. Qingdai was stabbed in the back, but fortunately, his heart grew sideways. It can be regarded as saving his life, but I'm afraid it will take a year of training. It takes half a year to recover." Luo Tianzheng patiently explained the situation, then bowed his head and kissed Zhen Miao's cheek.

Zhen Miao pushed him: "Second Aunt just left, we are keeping our filial piety, it's not good for others to see you like this."

Luo Tianxuan sneered.

Asking him to honor Tian's filial piety is absurd even after thinking about it.

She coaxed him, lied to him, deceived him, once took everything from him, and when she died, he would still wear sackcloth and mourning for her, and even within a year, don't dream of conceiving a common child with Jiaojiao, this is really absurd !

"My lord, no matter what we say, we still have to pay attention to the eyes of the world."

Luo Tianxuan took Zhen Miao's hand, rubbed it together, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I will pay attention."

Then when it was time to fall asleep, Zhen Miao looked at the extra people on the bed and was a little speechless.

"My lord, what did you pay attention to?"

For at least half a year, they should sleep in separate rooms.

Luo Tianxuan lay beside Zhen Miao, stretched out his hand to hook her wrist: "Jiaojiao. I want to sleep with you."

Seeing that Zhen Miao wanted to refute, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, if there is a fly flying out of Qingfengtang today, you can settle the score with me."

His parents left early, and for some unknown reason.The memories of his childhood are almost gone, and he is confused about how he got here during the years when his parents passed away one after another. It is impossible for him to be honest and filial to the Tian family now.

"I'll leave when it's almost dawn."

To be honest, a person has been afraid for so long.Even after returning to a familiar place, there is still a sense of emptiness and insecurity, and the breath of the people around him makes people really feel at ease.

From the bottom of her heart, Zhen Miao was also happy to see Luo Tianzheng approaching her cheekily.Glancing at him, he said, "You must not let others find out."

"Don't worry, I promise you will come and go without a trace." Luo Tianxuan stretched out his hand and hooked her palm.

It was Zhen Miao's first peaceful sleep these days.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was bright.Luo Tianzheng was no longer around.

She reached out to touch it, and picked up a black thread on the pillow.It was harder than hers, and as I twirled the black silk around my fingers to play with it, I suddenly felt at a loss in my heart.

"Grandma." Bai Ling's face shook above her, "You're awake. I'll help you up and wash up."

Zhen Miao nodded, Bai Ling waited on her to dress her up, cleaned her face, rinsed her mouth, and raised her feet to go outside.

"Grandma—" Bai Ling hesitated to speak.

"Bailing, just say what you want, why are you hesitating?"

Bai Ling said with some embarrassment: "Grandma, the old lady said that you are sick, so you should take a good rest and don't rush this moment."

"Oh, yes, I'm sick." Zhen Miao murmured, turned around, sat down on the bed, and sighed.

It seems that she will continue to be "sick" for a while before she can go out to breathe.

"Bring Jin Yan and Bai Xue over here."

Accompanied by a bird and a cat, the day is not too difficult to pass. When the sun was setting, Bai Ling came in a hurry: "Grandma, something happened outside."

"what's up?"

"My son won't come back for dinner, so I'll send Banxia back to tell you. The servant girl heard from Banxia that the entire family of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has been sent to jail, and they are going to copy and kill everyone!"

"But what did you say?"

Bai Ling frowned: "The servant girl didn't pay attention, it seems that it's because of the flood in Shili Village in Jingzhou."

Que'er, who was following behind, suddenly said, "The servant girl asked Banxia carefully, and it was Yang Shangshu's son who was greedy for money for building the embankment, but it turned out that the embankment was filled with straw. Fortunately, a Taoist figured out that the villagers of Shilizhuang There was a catastrophe, so the villagers were moved, and then, as the Taoist priest expected, it only rained for one day before the embankment burst."

"I heard that there were very few casualties in this embankment breach, and the crime of corruption of ink seems to be dealt with more severely."

Ban Xia snorted: "Grandma, you don't know, the Yang family father and son are really heartless, just because they were afraid of leaking the news, they arrested all the river workers who built the embankment, executed most of them in secret, and they are still on the road Set up checkpoints to prevent people from the Shilizhuang area from coming to the capital, and now that their family has been imprisoned, the people in the capital are applauding."

"Is this what Ban Xia told you? Que'er, you're very careful about your inquiries." Bai Ling blinked.

Que'er wrung her fingers and said, "My maidservant's ancestral home is from Jingzhou, so it's good that grandma doesn't mind my maidservant's talkativeness."

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you talk too much with me, as long as you don't talk too much when you go out. Qingge, bring a plate of plum cake to Que'er."

After sending everyone away, Zhen Miao leaned on the screen to sort out her thoughts, and only then did she know how this unreasonable disaster came about.

The May of the 14th year of Jingde seemed to be a particularly eventful month. Minister of Rites Yang Yude and his son Yang Mian were sentenced to death. All other clansmen, males over ten years old, were all exiled into the army, and their female relatives were sold into slavery.

The night when the third prince's mother and concubine Defei got the news, she took her life with a piece of white silk.

Then the world spread that King Yan was crazy.

At the end of May, the news of the prince's death spread. (to be continued~^~)
