Prophet of Rebirth

Chapter 955 Negotiations

Emperor Zhu Wenzhi and Empress Li rushed over after hearing the news, and saw Shen Zhaorong crying so discolored, his face was smeared with makeup, his hair was messed up, his clothes and skirts were crooked, and he was sitting on the ground. Surrounded by many people, Hu Sihai stood on one side, Ming Luan stood on the other, Chen Shi, Wufeng and others who were farther away, as well as all the wives and ladies who came to the palace to meet, all bowed down to pay their respects.

Ming Luan was in a good mood, so he paid respects according to the etiquette he had practiced for a long time, and even made it a little more respectful than usual, but at the same time, he felt a little worried, for fear that the emperor was used to soft ears and saw Shen Zhaorong crying pitifully , and stood by her side again.

Shen Zhaorong obviously thought the same way. He was crying in panic, and when he saw the emperor coming, he was overjoyed at first, and then got up from the ground to negotiate, crying and rushing towards the emperor. Thinking about complaining to the emperor, telling Ming Luan about it, thinking that even if the emperor is annoyed by her now and doesn't want to accept her as a concubine, he won't watch her being bullied.

It's just that she rushed over with great momentum, but she didn't prevent a thin eunuch from behind the emperor, who blocked him like lightning, and shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful of assassins!" She didn't stop, and hit the ground On the eunuch, the outstretched arms just hugged the other person, and knocked him to the ground, causing everyone around to scream in surprise, the eunuch screamed again, the emperor hadn't reacted yet, The queen spoke first: "What are you still doing? Help me up!"

When Shen Zhaorong was helped up, her face was already red like blood, as long as she thought that she hugged an eunuch in front of the emperor, she would feel ashamed.

And the eunuch was crying again and again, his face was bruised and swollen, his chin was kowtowed by Shen Zhaorong's head again, his tongue was bitten, bleeding came out, he looked very miserable.When the emperor saw it, he was a little grateful to him: "Xiao Zhangzi, this is not an assassin but my cousin. She was reckless and hit you. Does the injury matter?"

Xiao Zhangzi was naturally grateful and said: "My servant is fine, thank the emperor for your inquiry on the 950th fifth negotiation. It turned out that my servant misunderstood, but the emperor should take care of it. If you are really an assassin just now, your servant will suffer minor injuries. If there is any difference in the emperor's dragon body, the slaves and servants will die!"

The emperor was grateful for Xiao Zhangzi's loyalty again, hurriedly helped him down, and then sent someone to tell the imperial doctor to come to him for diagnosis and treatment. He turned around and looked at Shen Zhaorong, feeling a little uncomfortable, wondering why his cousin bumped into him as soon as he saw him?If it wasn't for a little Zhang who blocked him, he would be the one who was injured now!Could it be that she felt resentful because she refused to accept her as a concubine, and she was sure that she would never question the Shen family, so she was so confident?

The emperor was suspicious, but he didn't know that Shen Zhaorong was also in pain: the emperor really changed and he fell down, but he just asked the eunuch if he was okay, but he didn't even look at him. Could it be that he really didn't care about the Shen family? Gratitude?

No matter what careful thoughts the emperor and Shen Zhaorong have, the queen has not forgotten the business, she directly asked Ming Luan: "What happened just now? The palace listened to the report from the palace, saying that you and Shen's daughter had a quarrel in the cellar?"

Ming Luan was about to answer, when Shen Zhaorong uttered a miserable cry, which attracted everyone's attention, and she began to expect the emperor to ask herself first, thinking that at least she should take the lead and not call Ming Luan. Luan took the lead.

But the queen ignored it and just stared at Ming Luan. Ming Luan told the whole story just now without deleting a single word. If you missed something or said something wrong, you might as well ask them." Everyone said in unison: "There are no mistakes or omissions, that's how it happened."

This time, Shen Zhaorong's face was red and white. In front of the emperor, he wished that there was a hole in the ground to get in, and he felt a little delusional, hoping that the emperor would not believe it, or because of the Shen family's dignity. Go ahead and wipe things away for yourself.

But the emperor just looked at her in disappointment, and sighed after a moment of silence: "Miss Shen, why bother? I know what your family has done in the past. If you have kindness, I will remember it. If you have done it, I will treat it as a I don't know, on weekdays, you are always thinking of you, and you have carefully arranged your food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Because you have reached the age of marriage, and you have become a filial piety, you have chosen the most respectable marriage for you. Eldest grandson, both in talent, appearance and character are top picks, and temperament is also good, and he wholeheartedly wants to marry your wife. What's wrong with the girl? She just messes around in front of me all day long.

If you're just messing around with me, that's fine, why are you still pouring dirty water on your relatives' heads? !My family also has great kindness to me, but they never ask for repayment. After returning to Beijing, I have been living my life quietly. I am ashamed and grateful in my heart, but you don't know what is good or bad, and you want to ruin my good reputation.Now in front of everyone, I don't have the face to recognize you as my cousin! "

Shen Zhaorong's face turned pale when he heard what he said, and after hearing it, she cried again into tears: "The emperor is clearly aware! I... I was just confused for a while, because I heard that the emperor wanted to accept Concubine Ming Luan. If you feel jealous, if you don't have a heart for the emperor, you can't do this!"

The emperor was shocked when he heard this: "Where did you say that? I never thought of accepting the third cousin of the concubine, so don't talk nonsense here, it will ruin your reputation and your relationship with relatives!"

How can Shen Zhaorong believe it?He choked up and said: "I just heard her tell Ming Luan in the Queen's Palace that she is going to be a family..."

As soon as Empress Li heard it, she knew that the conversation with Mingluan just now had caused her to hear a few words, and she misunderstood, so she calmly said to the emperor: "Gong thinks that the third girl will become a woman in a few years. The emperor's younger sister-in-law is naturally a family with us, so we planned to get close to her, and I don't know how Miss Shen heard it, but there was such a misunderstanding."

As soon as she said this, not only Shen Zhaorong, but even all the wives and ladies present were amazed.Only a few of these people have heard that the emperor has a younger brother, so how would others know?They were all wondering when the emperor had a brother, and Ming Luan wanted to marry his brother?

Shen Zhaorong knew about Zhu Hanzhi, and she felt extremely remorseful at the moment.She knew that Zhu Hanzhi was close to his family, but she never thought that at his age, he would actually want to marry Ming Luan's wife. If she had known about this, how could she have eaten this oolong vinegar and angered Ming Luan? Yasha, the reincarnation, exposed all the truths that his family has worked so hard to hide?

Seeing the emperor's face darken, she also panicked, knelt and walked over to hug his leg and beg.But what happened to Xiao Zhangzi just now, how dare the servants who are waiting beside him be careless?As soon as they saw her move, they took precautions and blocked her two feet away from the emperor.She could only cry and said to the emperor: "I was wrong, please forgive me! I just... I just misunderstood... But I am sincere to the emperor..."

The emperor ignored it, but turned to Ming Luan with a guilty expression on his face: "I also told Marquis Huai'an that I would take good care of you, but I just slapped my mouth when I didn't expect it. I hope my cousin will not be offended, it's all mine. The negligence has caused my cousin to be wronged."

When the emperor first came, he was still called cousin Shen Zhaorong, but after hearing what had happened, he changed her name to Miss Shen, and now she is called cousin Mingluan, the closeness is clear.Shen Zhaorong's heartbroken face made Ming Luan feel a little more worried when he was calm: the emperor actually revealed Zhu Hanzhi's identity in front of so many people...

The emperor and queen comforted Ming Luan one after another, and then comforted Chen Shi, saying that she is chaste and self-confident, her virtues are impeccable, and she doesn't need to care about other people's nonsense, etc.Chen shi bowed down with red eyes, thanking them for speaking, but there was not much joy on his face.Ming Luan was a little worried and looked at her frequently.

Seeing that the emperor and empress only cared about talking to their family members without glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes, Shen Zhaorong was sad, how could he be reconciled?Even if Ming Luan won't become a concubine, but if he marries the emperor's brother, he will be a concubine in the future, so wouldn't he be stepping on his own head for the rest of his life?Shen Zhaorong cried again without giving up, interrupting the friendly greetings between the empress and her future in-laws and sister-in-law: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is clearly aware! I am sincere! Since the day my father and aunt rescued the emperor and took him in... ..."

The emperor shook his whole body, looked at her with complicated eyes, frowned, sighed, turned to the queen and said, "Send someone to send her back, and there is no need to send her into the palace in the future. Someone will pass the news to Uncle Shen, and let him go home to discipline his daughter." After saying that, he ignored Shen Zhaorong, turned and left indifferently.A group of palace servants followed hurriedly.

Shen Zhaorong was stunned, and only then did she start to tell about the Shen family's kindness to the emperor, why did he leave?

The queen looked at her like this, but smiled slightly, and glanced at Hu Sihai.Hu Sihai nodded in understanding, and winked at the eunuchs next to him, and four strong ones came out to arrest Shen Zhaorong, and dragged her away.When Shen Zhaorong came to her senses, she yelled for them to let go of herself, and called the emperor again, but before she had time to yell, an eunuch stuffed something into her mouth, making her unable to yell anymore.Being dragged out of the palace in such a state of embarrassment, all the palace people along the way saw clearly that her clothes were messy, her hair was scattered, and the hairpins and rings she bought with great difficulty were all scattered all over the floor...

When Ming Luan returned home by car, he still hadn't forgotten Shen Zhaorong's miserable appearance at that time. After thinking about it, he felt that she asked for it herself, so she just sneered and stopped asking.

On the contrary, Wufeng was in a complicated mood, thinking that her mother had always loved her natal niece more than her own daughter, if she knew what happened today, what would she think?But this can't be blamed on the emperor, empress and third sister, after all, Shen Zhaorong asked for it, she hasn't figured out the matter before, she wants to ruin the family's reputation, it is the mother who blames the emperor, empress and third sister, this is also Shen Zhaorong It doesn't make sense.

Chen Shi has been silent since he left the palace, his face turned pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Ming Luan asked her several times, but she only said it was fine, and when she was in front of Ji, she only downplayed the matter of entering the palace, and then said that she still had something to do, and walked away.

Ming Luan wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Ji, so he had to let go temporarily.Ji said: "The Chang family sent someone to deliver a letter. The second cousin and the first room of your second uncle's family arrived in the capital yesterday evening. Because they were in a hurry to settle down and things were busy, they didn't have time to send us a letter. Today Er Dachao, when I saw your second cousin in the palace, I thought I was fooled."

Wufeng hurriedly said: "We also met our second aunt and two cousins ​​in the palace, and we were very surprised at the time. Didn't you say that the two uncles are coming back? Why didn't we see other elders?"

Ji said: "It turns out that both of your uncles are going back to Beijing, but the northwest is still not stable, so your uncle will still stay there to guard. After a few days, the imperial court will send reliable people to take over. I just set off and came back. Your second uncle brought his family back, but happened to meet a group of Jianwen remnants on the way. Cousin brought my family back to Beijing first. Your second aunt is also back, but she is too old to travel day after day, her body is a little out of shape, and she is resting at home."

Ming Luan turned to look at him: "Since this is the case, should we go over and visit? Can they recognize a good imperial physician? If not, can we recommend the two people our family is familiar with?"

Ji showed a gratified smile: "Third girl is thoughtful, I have told Lao Zhang to go just now. After a while, Feng girl will go back to the house and change her clothes, so let's go and say hello. As for the third girl, forget it, your second aunt has been ill for years. Seriously, if there are three disasters and eight disasters, there will be more taboos, and you have filial piety, so you don't have to make her feel murmured."

Ming Luan only remembered the second uncle in his heart, but he knew about the second aunt for a while, so he was happy to save a trip, so he simply agreed, and said: "I met my second cousin and two cousins ​​in the palace today. Cousin, you are very kind. A few ignorant daughters laughed at me as a person who has been exiled and used to rough work. I am not skilled in etiquette, and my actions are not as gentle as they are. The second cousin and the two cousins ​​even said good things for me. !"

Ji nodded and smiled and said: "Your second cousin has been on good terms with your mother before, and both of them are upright people, so naturally they won't look at you to make people feel uncomfortable.

Wufeng said: "Although that is the case, the third sister is really not familiar with etiquette, so it's fine to put on a show. Once you relax, talk and drink tea, you will show your flaws. I will pinch for you while watching." Sweat. Good sister, while there are not too many things at home now, at least make up for the homework that was left behind in the past?"

Mingluan laughed dryly, and said from left to right: "It's getting late, big sister, go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late, and it will be inconvenient for you to go to uncle's house again." How difficult it was, I said goodbye to my grandfather.

After Wufeng left, Mingluan was about to tell his grandfather in detail about the good deeds Shen Zhaorong did today, but he saw Lao Zhang ran in with a panicked face, and said anxiously: "Master, it's not good! Someone from Linguo's mansion came The report said that after our aunt came back from the palace, she stumbled with the Duke of the country for some reason, she was short of breath, vomited blood and passed out! The imperial doctor was invited, and they all said that the situation is not good!"

"What did you say?!" Ji stood up abruptly, suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he was about to fall backwards.Ming Luan hurriedly supported him, and comforted him repeatedly: "Grandfather, don't worry, let's not listen to what his messenger said, we'd better go to his house and ask about the situation first!" He couldn't help being surprised in his heart.

Why did Mr. Lin Guo want to quarrel with his wife?Could it be that Shen Zhaorong is so disgusted by the emperor that he still treats her like a sweet potato? ! ! !
