Daughter of Hou's Mansion

It was past midnight, and Shangguan Jue just sat beside Qingluan. Qingluan's face was pale due to blood loss, and his lips were pale.

Shangguanjue wanted to hug her very much, but he was worried that his yelling would hurt her, so he just stared at her quietly, watching her frown weakly, his heart throbbing, subconsciously He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his palm without realizing it.

The door was pushed open, and Shangguan Jue didn't even lift his head, but he knew that it was Shangguan Miao who came in. Even though every time he saw him, there were quarrels and whips, but he would never forget Shangguan Miao's footsteps and breath. Will never forget.

"Uncle, where is Jueer?"

"It hurts!" Qingluan's voice was soft, and she pressed against Shangguanjue weakly. In fact, the pain on her body now is much better than when the whip was added to her body, but when facing Shangguanjue, she didn't want to be strong. Big, let alone a whip, even a ruler or anything.

************************************************** *******************

"Uncle Huang." Shangguan Rui saw that the old prince was so absent-minded that he didn't even notice him coming in, so he called out.

"I'm staying with his wife in there. I just woke up." The old prince raised his hand and poured a cup of tea to Shangguan Rui, "Your Majesty, I have been working hard to stabilize the border of the Great Xia Dynasty for more than 40 years. The days of going back and forth to Beijing are less than three months. Even if there is no contribution to the country, there must be hard work in the past 40 years, but there is even a eunuch in the palace who can torture me at will. , Your Majesty, the old minister is also a Shangguan, can't he even enjoy the respect that the royal family should have?"

Shangguanjue was a little flustered, and said again and again: "Then what should I do, I'll ask the imperial physician to come over, no, we'll go out of the palace to find senior brother, he must have the medicine to make you recover as soon as possible." Shangguanjue wanted to hug you as soon as possible. Picking up Qingluan, but was grabbed by Qingluan.

The old prince sighed for a long time, and murmured: "I have neglected you these years."

Because he is not reconciled, every time he sees him, he is confronted with the needle. The similar temper makes the two of them lose face and bow their heads first. This creates a vicious circle. He wants to attract his ideas, but only Using his bad side to arouse the anger of the old prince, the blood relationship that was originally close was also weakened by the quarrels again and again.

After this void. "Uncle Huang is humble. No one can deny your contribution to the country." Shangguan Rui said lightly.

Shangguan Jue was in a very bad mood. When the old prince approached him at this time, he vented all the depression in his heart on him. Although he saved Qingluan for him, once the pattern of getting along with him was formed, it was difficult to change it. coming.

Qingluan shook her head and said, "I always believed that you would come back."

Shangguan Miao's expression was still somewhat dissatisfied. Princess Duanmin did a lot of stupid things. In the past, she was protected by the late emperor, and now she is protected by the emperor's own brother. For anything that could not be concealed, the first emperor would punish her to ground her feet. The most serious one was to send her away from the capital. It was precisely because of this repeated "protection" that caused Princess Duanmin's domineering temperament.

If it were the old prince who had the same bad temper in the past, he would definitely fight Shangguanjue, but this time he did not get angry, but just stared straight at Shangguanjue until Shangguanjue awkwardly moved. Open your eyes.

The old prince's mood was very complicated. He hesitated outside for a long time before he opened the door and came in. 13acv.

"Aluan, how are you?" Shangguanjue carefully lifted Qingluan up and let her lean halfway on the big pillow. Even though the movements were subtle enough, the wound would still be pulled by a slight movement, and Qingluan couldn't help it. With a groan, he subconsciously grabbed Shangguan Jue's lapel with one hand.

The old prince stood behind Shangguanjue for a long time, his eyes fixed on Shangguanjue's back, and after a long while, he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you learn your kung fu?"

"You stay with me first." Qingluan pulled Shangguanjue to act coquettishly, those whips really hurt her body, but even at that time she believed that Shangguan would definitely come back, that kind of almost blind trust It's unbelievable to think about it now, but when she saw Shangguan Jue, she felt a sense of peace of mind.

When the emperor came in, he saw the old prince sitting at the round table outside, drinking tea silently.

Shangguan Jue wanted to open his mouth to mock him, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make any sound.

"Uncle Huang, I didn't know this time. Jue'er has already abolished those self-assertive slaves. If Uncle Huang is still dissatisfied, I can issue an order to kill them." Shangguan Rui said, Rong Dahai is from the palace. The eunuch listened to Princess Duanmin's orders. Even if the Shangguan would never abolish him, how could he, the emperor, tolerate such a slave.

Seeing this, the old prince retreated silently, at this moment he couldn't get in between the two of them at all.

Although medicine had been applied to the whip wounds on his body, the burning pain still made Qingluan frown.

The old prince's eyes were shining. He replaced Princess Duanmin with the person behind him. Although his attitude was a little tougher, but he is a majestic King of Qin. Mixed in Shangjing.

He saw Shangguanjue sitting quietly by the bed, leaving only a back view for him.

Only then did the old prince see Shangguan Rui, he stood up and saluted.

One sentence made Shangguan Jue's body stiffen suddenly, his eye sockets were slightly stinging, Cen Bo's lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his slightly trembling fists showed the unrest in his heart.

The grandfather and grandson were three steps apart, but neither could speak.

Qingluan's scream came from behind him, Shangguan Juecai was startled, he didn't care about saying anything to the old prince, and hurried back to the bed.

The emperor brother that Shangguan Miao said naturally refers to the late emperor.

Guarding the border for more than 40 years, how many times he beat the Rong people back to their hometown. I am afraid that no one in the Great Xia Dynasty can compare with him. What's more, he has already handed over his military power. If others misunderstand that he is deliberately suppressing Prince Qin's mansion, even if he is the emperor, it is inevitable that others will poke his back.

The root of the estrangement between him and the old prince was because he was unwilling to be ignored by him.

The old prince said: "Did the emperor punish Duanmin with salary or ground her?"

Shangguan Miao understood everything when he saw Shangguan Rui's expression, and the expression on his face had a hint of sarcasm: "Brother Huang has always loved and trusted Duan Min, and Duan Min's temperament is also a result of his petting, even if he is only used to Duan Min is the one who protects the emperor's hidden guards, I'm afraid Duan Min is more important than you guys in the eyes of the emperor."

Shangguanjue made it to the bedside, and carefully let Qingluan lean into his arms, "Aluan, I'm sorry, I was late this time, and caused you to suffer so much."

The emperor sighed and said: "Uncle, I know that the emperor's sister has gone too far this time, and I have already punished her. Fortunately, the princess and concubine of Qin Wang are not in any serious trouble. Can you not blame her for the mother's sake?" Sister Huang, I will definitely restrain Sister Huang in the future."

Qingluan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was about to wake up, Shangguanjue softly called Qingluan's name twice in her ear, and Qingluan slowly opened her eyes.

Shangguan Rui's face was slightly embarrassed. He really only fined Princess Duanmin's salary for one year and banned her from the princess' mansion.

"If you say that you want to kill the crown prince quietly in the palace and put the blame on the prince and concubine of Wei, you will only have Duan Min in the whole Great Xia." The old prince changed the subject and said something that surprised Shangguan Rui. .

Shangguan Jue's chest was very broad, Qingluan leaned in that firm embrace, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, his heart felt unprecedentedly peaceful.

The old prince took a sip of tea and said: "Your Majesty, you should know that Rong Dahai was only instructed by others, he was punished, but what about the people behind it?"

Only then did Shangguan Jue turn around, glanced at the old prince, and said sarcastically, "What's the point of asking this? Or do you suddenly feel that you have neglected my grandson and want to show your guilt?"

Because she knows that as long as there is Shangguan Jue, she doesn't have to pretend to be strong, and he will always support her behind her back.

The impact on the old prince today is not insignificant. He seems to have a lot of things in his heart that he wants to say to Shangguan Jue, but he doesn't know where to start when the words come to his lips. Tensioned.

"Is there any evidence for what the emperor said? Although the emperor has a good temper, she is my real sister after all. What good does it do to harm the prince and her?" It's too unbelievable, Miss Huang has no reason to do this, even though she has the ability.

Shangguanmiao was just saying, of course there is no evidence in his hand, but Duanmin must report, because Wei Yanqing remembered the matter of hating Qingluan and thus killed Qingluan, he also took note of this matter, even if the emperor did not act He won't be soft on rectification.

"Your Majesty, I will take Jue'er and his wife back to the mansion tomorrow morning. Even if you want to investigate the cause of the prince's death, you don't need to imprison Jue'er-in-law in the palace, but she was whipped in just a few days. I'm afraid I won't have this life." Shangguan Miao said forcefully, since the emperor didn't want to punish Duanmin severely, he wouldn't force him, after all, they are brothers and sisters, but Qingluan must take him back to the mansion. The palace is not safe.
