Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 810 Extra Story (The Finale)

The rain rolled back across the capital and continued to patter for several days.

The atmosphere in Madam's room was also gloomy for several days.

Ever since that day when she learned that Youshi had come to the Siwang Mansion in the capital, Shen Ziling turned her head and went back to the house.

This time, Youshi came suddenly. It is said that he was raising a baby in Jiangbei. For several nights, he dreamed that the python was wrapped around tender vines, and he was sweating profusely in his dream. The eminent monk of the famous temple in the city interpreted the pregnancy dream. The eminent monk replied that the tender vine symbolizes a new baby, and the python symbolizes evil things. Cutting off a person with a sharp blade also shows that a masculine and fiery person can be rescued. King Yisi is a warrior and the biological father of a fetus.
Youshi didn't say anything else, he took Mrs. Liao and a few servants with him, and drove northward to the capital in a carriage.Judging by the situation, she is preparing to wait in the capital for childbirth.Dong'er heard that she was furious, but she didn't know the truth, she still pretended to be a nightmare, and she was afraid that the uncle and the young lady would reconcile, so she came here to pester the uncle, to befriend him, and in the name of the fetus, the uncle would not be able to scold her, see It looked like she was sure of this!
It was night in Siwang Mansion, the rain was dripping under the eaves, and it made people's hearts tremble.

Dong'er twisted a warm handkerchief and handed it to Shen Ziling: "Why don't you call my uncle over tonight?"

The relationship between the two finally eased up, because when You Shi came, they became enemies again, so it was not worthwhile.

As soon as You Shi came, the lady didn't pay much attention to the uncle.

Uncle finally slept in the main courtyard for one night, and moved to the study in desperation under the cold eyes of the young lady.

"No. He's busy, so it's convenient to sleep in the study." Shen Ziling soaked his hands in hot water, took the handkerchief and wiped it, then undressed and went to bed.

The calmer the situation, the more uncomfortable Dong'er felt, and she understood Miss's feelings.

Who could watch a concubine who was pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood come all the way to Jing Chenghuan, would she really be silent?
What's more, Miss herself has another...

west yard.

Youshi sipped the bird's nest happily while touching his swollen belly.

Mrs. Liao looked at her leisurely look, but her expression was a little gloomy. She silently waved her sleeves, motioned the little girls in the room to leave, closed the door, drew the curtains, walked over, and lowered her voice: "Ms. Day, rest is enough, when are you going to do something?"

These words were like sparks, the spoon in Youshi's hand slipped out of scorching heat, he sat up straight, looked left and right, and then hesitated: "What's the matter..."

Mrs. Liao saw her pretending to be stupid, and her old face became darker: "Ms. You won't be playing sloppy with this old slave now, but don't forget the purpose of your coming to the capital this time!"

Seeing that Mrs. Liao spoke very rudely to her, Mrs. You was also a little annoyed. After all, she was the wife of King Yi Si, and now she was pregnant with the only flesh and blood of the King Yi Si, who would dare to disrespect her?It was the first wife who was in the main position, who saw her unhappy in every possible way. Seeing that she was dragged this time, she could only shut herself in the room and sulk, and it was hard to find fault with herself. Do you really think you are her servant girl?

With a soft snort, his tone became more dissatisfied, and he touched Jin Zunyugui's belly: "The purpose of coming to Beijing? The purpose of my coming to the capital this time is to bring my son to see the king."

When Mrs. Liao saw her coming to the capital, she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone. She completely ignored the things she promised herself before coming to the capital. , who tried to trick you into conceiving this child, and who sent you back to the Prince's Mansion? If it weren't for the old slave, Mrs. You would have died in the clothing store, and she would still be able to eat and drink with her precious fetus here Is Miss You ungrateful?"

You Shi was angry and sneered: "I have already helped you once. The last time Mengnu was able to break through the Jiangbei mutual market, was it because I took the risk and secretly inquired about the date of the heir king's trip? Otherwise, with the power of the heir king, how could Mengnu be so easy?" Offending the border? This kind of thing, it is enough to do it once. If the king finds out if I do it again, I will lose my head when I am pregnant with ten Xiahou's children! If I had known that you were... I would not Let you help, if you are found out, you will think that I am your accomplice!"

"Miss You means that you are determined not to help? If you don't help, don't let this old slave keep his mouth shut and say something that shouldn't be said..." Mrs. Liao's sneaky eyes fell on Youshi's huge belly On, revealing a cold light.

You Shi snorted: "Threat me? If you say something you shouldn't say, your identity will also be exposed. At that time, we will break up after a while, and it will not be good!"

"you--"

"I'm going to rest, get the hell out of me! Don't mention this matter again! If you keep yourself safe, I can still keep you by my side and let you live for the rest of your life. When I give birth to the eldest son for the heir king, I will raise the throne." It's not for your benefit, but if you continue to cause trouble for me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Granny Liao gritted her teeth, but had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

You Shi looked at Granny Liao's back, but she kept frowning, worried, and her face never recovered.

This old guy is always a disaster if he stays around for a day.

If it comes out sooner or later, she will also be implicated!
It seems that there is still a chance to make this old guy shut up completely.

**
A few days later, the rain finally stopped, and the sky saw light.

Shen Ziling was sleepy in the room for another day. At dusk, Dong'er opened the curtain and came in.

Shen Ziling only thought that she was urging herself to go out for a walk or let King Yisi come over, and was about to wave her hand, but saw that Dong'er was still breathing, her face was flushed, and she was extremely excited:
"The empress is born!"

Shen Ziling was stunned for a moment, and then, the smile that she hadn't seen for a few days suddenly burst into bloom.

After the two princes, Yun Wanqin finally gave birth to a little princess.

As soon as she was born, she was registered as a princess by the third master.Because she was born in the evening after the rain stopped, she was named Ran'er.

The birth of the princess is celebrated with the whole world, the world is amnesty, the tax is exempted for three years, the emperor feasts the officials for three days and three nights, and bestows delicious food and wine to the mansions of all officials.

All of a sudden, every household in the capital held a banquet to celebrate with the emperor, and it was as lively as the New Year.

Chu Xia personally led the palace servants to distribute the imperial gift of wine and delicacies from Prince Si's Mansion. By the way, she also came to visit Shen Ziling at the empress's wish.

Yun Wanqin also heard about You Shi's coming to the capital, and she was worried about Shen Ziling, fearing that she would be depressed, so she asked Chu Xia to come to Prince Si's Mansion with a meal, so that she could visit her and talk to her.

Before Chu Xia left, he specially explained a few words to the management of Prince Si's Mansion. The weather has finally cleared up, and Princess Si's body has stabilized. It just happens to coincide with the great joy of the royal family. Why not hold a small banquet in the back house like other mansions for Princess Si Relieve the mood.

Seeing that it was the empress's order, the steward hurriedly agreed.

On the same day, the servants of Prince Si's Mansion began to prepare small banquets inside and out, and sent posts to many noble women in the capital, inviting them to come and have fun that day.

King Yi Si was a commander in chief at the border and a celebrity in the royal family, and it was too late for every household to fawn on him, so they all received posts for their female family members and discussed the date of their visit.

On the day of the small banquet, Shen Ziling was still sleepy and had no interest in the banquet, but she also knew that it was Yun Wanqin's kind intentions, and she was the heir princess, so it would not be good if she didn't go, so she pulled herself together and led Dong'er to the backyard.

The small banquet for the female relatives was held in the lotus pond in the backyard of Prince Si's Mansion.

The weather turned better, the sky was clear and the sun was warm. Several ladies who were invited were waiting at the banquet. When they saw Shen Ziling coming, they smiled and stood up to greet and salute.

Shen Ziling put aside her recent concerns for the time being, and entertained the guests as a landlord.

While laughing and talking, I was in a slightly better mood. At this moment, the maid's report came: "Miss You is here."

Everyone fell silent, and followed the prestige.

Dong'er's complexion changed.

You Shi is a starlet in the Prince's Mansion and a member of the Prince's Mansion, so it is reasonable to come to the small banquet held by the female relatives in the backyard.

It's just that she didn't expect her to come here without invitation.

Holding her big belly, You Shi bowed to Shen Ziling and several officials and wives with the support of her maid, and smiled coquettishly: "I know that the concubine Si and his wives are gathered here today, so I specially brought the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Jiangbei here. Adding to the fun, I don’t know if I’m disturbing everyone.”

Shen Ziling remained expressionless: "Since you're here, please sit down."

Although Youshi is only a little star of the heir, but after all she is pregnant with the eldest son of the heir, the wives look at her a little differently: "Miss You is pregnant with Liujia and she came here to deliver drinks, please trouble me."

"Don't bother. All the wives are distinguished guests of Prince Si's Mansion, and it is also my duty to entertain the concubines."

Dong'er's face was even uglier. There was a concubine heir to entertain guests, so who could get her?

It is clear that he is here to prove to the guests that he is pregnant with the flesh and blood of a king, and has an unusual status, so as to steal the limelight of the rightful lady, the lady.

Youshi sat down, and he was not polite anymore, either urging his servants to add wine to the wives or ladies, or ordering his servants to quickly bring up pastries and delicacies.

It is as if he is the master of the small banquet.

Dong'er was even more sullen, if it wasn't for the young lady's expressionless face, she would have thrown You Shi and her stomach out of the banquet a long time ago!
Seeing that Shen Ziling didn't speak, Youshi became even more courageous, and said with a smile: "The weather has been sunny and warm recently, and many flowers are blooming in the garden of Prince Si's Mansion. If the wives are willing, I will take you to have a look."

No matter how blind the wives and ladies are, they can see that Youshi's behavior does not take Princess Si into consideration at all, which is really a bit inappropriate.

But Princess Si didn't say anything, presumably this Youshi must be very favored by King Si, plus she is pregnant, it is estimated that the limelight in the mansion is not lower than that of Princess Si.

Several people are from the deep house compound, haven't you seen the story of a concubine oppressing his wife?
So they all smiled and obeyed You Shi: "Okay, then there will be Mrs. Lao You."

Youshi was even more proud, stood up while supporting the maidservant's arm, and glanced at Shen Ziling: "Would you like to go with Princess Si?"

Dong'er's lungs are going to explode this time, taking away Miss's guests, and showing off his might?He really regarded himself as the master of the heir palace!He has the heart to go forward and scratch her ears.

Just at this time, another maid of You Shi hurried over and whispered something in her ear.

Youshi's smile froze, and he frowned, as if he was clenching his fists in secret. Finally, he calmed down and turned his smile back to everyone: "I'm sorry, I have something to do in the house, I'll go and settle it first, and I'll come later."

Saying that, he hurriedly bid farewell and left Xiaoyan.

"I don't know what this You Shi is doing." Dong'er whispered.

Shen Ziling didn't bother to care about what she was doing, seeing the female relatives still stuck in place, said: "I'll take everyone there first."

A group of people walked towards the garden.

**
You Shi hurriedly returned to the west courtyard, ordered the servant girl to retreat, entered the room alone, closed the door, and looked at Mrs. Liao in the room with a dark face: "Why did you ask me to come back?"

"Today is a small banquet in the backyard. The servants are busy in the kitchen and the backyard. Princess Si has no time to entertain the guests, and the king is not at the mansion. Do it, go to the study..."

Mrs. Liao's voice hadn't finished yet, You Shi gritted her teeth and interrupted: "You called me back secretly, and you're talking about this again? As I said, I won't help you! Give up your heart! This is my last reminder, if you If you dare to say this again, I will definitely tell the successor king about your good deeds! At that time, even if you are cut into pieces, you will not be able to pay for your crime!"

When Mrs. Liao saw that she had really made up her mind, she became angry from embarrassment. Seeing that she was about to leave, she grabbed her hand and said, "You are not afraid that I will tell you about your belly!"

"Do you have evidence? Oh, you don't have my evidence, but I have a lot of your evidence! Enough! I don't want to see you again! Get out of the Prince's Mansion consciously, and never show up in front of me again! If I have entertained the guests and I will see you again when I come back, and I will definitely tell the king about you!" You Shi sneered, pulled out his hand, and walked out of the house with his stomach outstretched.

There are still so many noble ladies waiting for her, she has not enjoyed enough of being respected by others, how can she spend time with an old woman.

When Mrs. Liao saw that she was going to report on her, she trembled, her anger rose, and she pushed her hard!
Youshi needed help even when he was walking, so he couldn't bear this push, and before he could scream, he threw himself heavily to the ground!
There was a muffled sound!No more sound!

**
garden.

Youshi hadn't come for a long time, Dong'er couldn't help scolding in a low voice: "This Youshi proposed to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers, but he ran away without a trace and didn't come for a long time. Let the young lady lead the people to enjoy the flowers instead of her. Damn it! Can't you really treat yourself as the master and treat the young lady like a maid?"

When the female guests enjoy the flowers, there must be a host. If Mrs. You doesn't come, Shen Ziling can only support her.

But Shen Ziling has a body too, so she can't bear to walk around for a long time, and she can't stay here all the time to accompany the female relatives, Dong'er thought about it, and said: "Miss, go back to the room to rest first, don't miss your body, I will leave this place to the servant girl, the servant girl is here Accompany the ladies and ladies first, and then send a servant to urge Youshi to entertain him."

Shen Ziling nodded: "Yeah. There's no need to send someone to call her. I just pass by the West Courtyard when I go back, so go and call her over."

Dong'er thinks about it too, You Shi is so proud of the sky at the moment, and usually the servants go to urge him, and he is afraid that it will be difficult, so he agrees.

Shen Ziling said she was feeling unwell, and said goodbye to a few female relatives, saying that she would go back to the house to rest for a while, and that Youshi would come to treat her later.

Seeing her wandering around for a while, the ladies of the officials were out of breath, and there seemed to be something really wrong with her body, so they hurriedly said: "Since Princess Si is not feeling well, let's go back and rest for a while."

Shen Ziling left the garden and passed by the west courtyard. She stopped and turned inside. There was no one in the courtyard, not even a servant serving her. She felt a little suspicious in her heart, but she didn't think much about it. She continued to go up the stairs, opened the door, and called With a sound.

No one responded.

Shen Ziling's heart beat violently, and felt something was wrong, and walked towards the inner room, approaching the inner room, only felt a strange smell flowing in the air.

This taste is not unfamiliar.

Fishy and sweet.

Yes……

Blood!

Her eyelids twitched heavily, and with a wave of her hand, the curtain was lifted, and she was immediately shocked by the scene in the room!

Youshi was lying on the ground in a pool of black blood, with a hole in his huge belly, and he was cut open alive!
On one side, there is a group of human-shaped flesh and blood curled up on the ground, which is a dead fetus that has been pulled out of the mother's womb.

Shen Ziling's back broke out in cold sweat, and she supported the tea table next to her so she didn't fall down. Just as she was about to yell, she heard footsteps coming from behind her, and the back of her neck froze and tightened. Because she was pregnant, her body was slower than usual, and she Afraid of hurting the child, he didn't have time to turn around, but he knew in his heart that someone had plotted against him. Immediately, his eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.

*
Over there in the garden.

Several wives and ladies couldn't wait for Youshi to come, so they couldn't help discussing in a low voice.

The two female relatives of the mansion left and left the guests here. After all, it was out of order, so Dong'er could only quickly find another girl, and go back to the main courtyard to talk to the young lady first.After a while, the girl came back: "Sister Dong'er, Princess Si hasn't returned to the main courtyard yet."

Dong'er was surprised, the lady had been gone for more than half a quarter, how come she hasn't returned yet, just now the lady said that she would stop by the West Courtyard to call You Shi, nothing will happen, right?He hurriedly bowed to the wives and ladies: "Please take your seats at the banquet, ladies and gentlemen, and the servants will first go find the concubine heir."

The two officials and wives nearby heard this and hurriedly followed: "Isn't something wrong with Princess Si? Let's go and have a look together."

"Yeah, I just saw Princess Si's complexion is not very good, we also go to express condolences together, if something happens, we can't afford this crime, I'm afraid that King Si will come to ask for responsibility." The other lady is also in a hurry.

The remaining female relatives also nodded frequently.

Dong'er had no way to stop her, so she could only let a few female relatives follow her to the west courtyard.

……

west yard.

Shen Ziling regained consciousness drowsily, only felt that the pain in the back of her neck hadn't faded away, just when she struggled to sit up, she felt that her body was slippery and greasy, her center of gravity was unsteady and she slid down again, only then did she realize that she was sitting on You's chair. of blood.

Unknowingly holding something cold and sharp in the palm of his hand.

She looked over, took a deep breath, and what she held in her hand was a pair of bloody scissors!
Before he had time to react, he heard footsteps approaching, the curtain was lifted, and bunches of horrified eyes came.

She looked towards the door curtain with a pale face, and the terrified faces of Dong'er and several other female guests appeared in her sight.

I have never seen such a miserable and terrifying scene. A timid official lady's legs gave way and she collapsed into the arms of the maid next to her.

The other official's wife also vomited wildly at the corpses of Youshi's mother and son.

At the same time, screams shook the entire west courtyard:
"Killed!"

**
Clan mansion, cell.

Compared with ordinary prison cells, the cells in the Clan Mansion are dedicated to detain the royal family and nobles, and the environment is slightly better.

But no matter how good it was, it was a prison cell.

Humid, cold, silent, and there is no sky, and the darkness that does not know when it will end.

Shen Ziling has been imprisoned here for almost five days.

Appearing at the crime scene covered in blood, armed with a murder weapon, and bumped into the face by several officials, wives and ladies, she couldn't tell whether Dong'er was crying and yelling for injustice, or whether she was taken away by the officials of the clan's mansion.

I still remember Dong'er crying and shouting to her in astonishment before being taken away: "Miss, don't be afraid, this servant will go and call my uncle back, my uncle will definitely save you—"

Dong'er's cry was still ringing in his ears.

However, five days passed, and there was no sign of that person.

He didn't even come to visit the prison once.

It is true.

There was a bitterness on her lips.

Even if she was imprisoned and didn't know what was going on outside, she could still guess that because of jealousy, Princess Si killed Prince Si's pregnant concubine, and I'm afraid it has spread throughout the capital.

It's too much trouble, I'm afraid it's not convenient for him to come if he wants to, right?

That man, what would he think when he found out?

Would he also think that she killed his concubine and his eldest son on the spur of the moment out of jealousy?

If not, why hasn't he come to see her for so many days?
Chaos, chaos, chaos.

I have never felt so upset before, I don't know if I am afraid that I will continue to be imprisoned, or I am afraid that he will misunderstand me.

She hugged her knees and sat on the cold ground, holding a drawing pen that was probably left by her previous inmate, and wrote orthographic characters on the earthy ground.

An exquisite and beautiful "positive" has just been filled.

It's been five days.

The fetus in the womb is rarely obedient, and seems to know that she is suffering a catastrophe.

It was her only consolation.

Suddenly, there were quick steps and low-pitched conversations from outside the prison.

"It's in the innermost room, at most the hour of a cup of tea. Princess Si is a felony murderer. She can't visit her before going to court. Don't embarrass me." The voice of the prison chief came.

Shen Ziling kept her body upright, the broken brush between her fingers slipped to the ground, she leaned over to grab it, and looked out expectantly.

Five days of hesitation and loss were filled in an instant, and my heart beat like a deer!
The sound of footsteps was approaching, and a delicate figure appeared in her cloudy vision that had adapted to the darkness. She loosened her fingers and slid down the fence.

My heart was attacked by disappointment, more than before.

not him.

"Miss—" Dong'er rushed over and looked at Shen Ziling, who had lost a lot of weight, kneeling outside the fence, weeping uncontrollably.

"Don't cry, I'm fine." Shen Ziling stretched out his hand from the fence, trying to wipe away Dong'er's tears.

The stretched out slender arm that could be easily broken at any time made Dong'er even more distressed.

How could it be possible to be well, to be the heir to the concubine, and to be reduced to a prisoner.

"Did the Clan Mansion find anything? How should I say it?" Shen Ziling braced himself.

Dong'er's face became even more pained: "I can't find any other evidence for the time being, and now all the blame is pointed at the young lady. There are all personal and material evidence, and there is even a motive for the murder... Several officials and wives said that they saw with their own eyes during the small banquet that day, You It's normal for you to kill her on the spur of the moment while you were talking to her, and that Youshi died of disembowelment, and the fetus was taken out. Why do ordinary people kill people so cruelly and laboriously, and go out of their way to take out the baby? It is clear that you are jealous of You Shi being pregnant with the eldest son, so you will use this kind of murder method used by jealous women. The lady said that after entering the room, someone knocked you out, but Zong There is no trace of anyone entering the residence, and Mrs. Liao said that only the young lady has entered."

Shen Ziling lost his mind.

It turns out that a person is identified as the murderer, and all the details can be used as evidence that this person is the murderer.

but……

Mrs. Liao?
When she entered You's west courtyard that day, she clearly didn't see a single servant.

How could Mrs. Liao see her?

She recalled the scene when she was struck unconscious that day.

The moment the palm was cut on his shoulder and neck, the touch felt rough, like the skin that had been doing rough work for many years.

but……

impossible……

How could it be Mrs. Liao?
How could an ordinary old lady who had been a servant in the Jiangbei Prince's Mansion for decades, who was not too young, kill her master for no reason?
How dare you blame her?
How can there be such a good skill?

Doubts wrapped around Shen Ziling's heart like inextricable threads.

"It's all the slaves' fault. Why did you let those wives and ladies go to the west courtyard with you that day! Several officials and female family members bumped into each other on the spot. The influence was too bad, and the disturbance in the capital was too big. Now it's hard to accommodate. If it's just a slave It wouldn't make such a big fuss if people go away!" Dong'er said this, hating and regretting, knocking her head repeatedly.

Shen Ziling restrained her from punishing herself: "There are people who want to blame you, but you are not a prophet."

"Miss, if you persevere, the old general and the young master are trying to think of a solution when they learn about you! And the empress, who doesn't believe you will kill someone, is investigating the case at the Governor's Mansion..." Dong'er cried road.

Every word was spoken in Shen Ziling's ear, but it was like the wind, vague and swaying, so far away from him.

Grandpa, brother, and even Qin'er in confinement...

One by one, they are all thinking about her affairs.

But what about the person closest to her?
What is the man who should be fighting for this matter the most, what is he doing now...

"He's been working around for the past few days? You tell him not to worry." Finally, Xiu's lips parted.

Dong'er was stunned for a moment, and lowered her forehead: "...The King Si is handling Youshi's funeral at the mansion these few days, and in the rest of the time, he goes to Youshi's boudoir alone. Sometimes, he doesn't come out for a whole day after going there. , sitting in You's boudoir in a daze... even the servants can't see him."

The last hope in my heart shattered like a bubble.

Ah.

She thought he was running around for herself these days and had no time to come.

It turned out that he had been staying at home these past few days, remembering You Shi.

Women are nothing to him, I am afraid that in addition to remembering Youshi, he also loves his child who died before birth.

"Miss, miss, talk to me, don't scare the slaves." Dong'er looked at the girl tremblingly.
"It's nothing. I haven't done it before, so I have a clear conscience." She calmed down, and raised her head again: "Dong'er, tell him to come here sometime, I have something to say to her."

Even if he really hated her to the bone at this moment, she should at least defend herself.

**
The heir palace of the capital.

In the west courtyard, there is a desolate and empty building.

Because of You Shi's death, except for a few servants from Jiangbei who were still guarding in the yard, the other servants who served her were transferred to other places in the house.

At this moment, under the eaves, stood two confidant guards, occasionally peeking at the tightly closed gate.

Like the previous few days, King Si also came today and stayed in Mrs. You's room for a long time.

Every time I come, the door is locked, and I can't see what I'm doing.

At the door, there was a woman's hurried footsteps: "Let me see the king, I have something to do!"

"Si Wang said that he doesn't want to be disturbed! Miss Dong'er, you go back first!"

"I went to visit the prison today. Princess Si has something to say to King Si! Let me pass on a message!"

……

After a while, a deep and dissatisfied voice finally came from the room: "What's the matter, tell me!"

With a plop, Dong'er knelt down at the bottom of the steps: "Uncle, Miss would like to invite you to visit her at the clan's mansion!"

"With ironclad evidence, what's the use of this king going? Let people in Beijing talk about this king covering up his wife's house, intending to pervert the law for personal gain?" Only a cold voice responded.

Dong'er gritted her teeth: "Even if there is no evidence for the time being, my uncle can still go and see Miss, so that Miss feels a little comforted!"

"He dares to kill and dissect a baby. Her heart is very strong. Why do I need my king to comfort her?"

Dong'er's face turned red, and she clenched her fists in anger. The man in the room said impatiently, "Have you finished speaking? Get out when you're done."

At the gate of the west courtyard, Mrs. Liao, who was guarding the gate, let out a sigh of relief.

The two guards were about to take Dong'er away, but Dong'er's heart sank: "Miss is pregnant!"

The air seemed to stop flowing.

The two guards were also stunned, their hands hanging in the air when they were going to catch someone, it was neither good nor bad.

The lady hadn't had time to talk about this matter, but she didn't expect it to be exposed at this time.

Dong'er's tears flowed down like an unstoppable gate: "When I was living in the palace, I discovered it, and the empress knew about it. After all, the young master came to the capital, and the young lady also returned to the Prince's Mansion. I was about to say, You Shi Come on, this kind of thing happened again. Could it be that my uncle is also willing to die for his own flesh and blood?"

A moment of silence.

The atmosphere is tense and tense.

After another half hour, a voice as cold as a sharp arrow floated out of the room:

"She has a child, and she is going to kill someone else's child? A poisonous woman."

Words restrained trembling, as if trying to suppress anger.

With an order, the two guards took the crying Dong'er away from the west courtyard.

At the door, a servant girl watched this scene with her own eyes, took a light breath, and muttered: "It seems that Prince Si has really given up on Princess Si this time, and is determined to think that she is the murderer."

Granny Liao looked at Dong'er who had been dragged away, and then glanced at the quiet door. Her face, which had been tense for several days, loosened inch by inch.

From that day on, King Yisi stayed in Youshi's west courtyard and did not return to his room.

Two days passed, I didn't go out, and I didn't even ask anyone to bring in the food.

It was rumored in the house that Dong'er was afraid that Dong'er would intercede on behalf of the concubine heir, which would anger King Yisi and even arouse his mood, so he simply stayed in the west courtyard to mourn Youshi.

**
Two days later.

Early in the morning, Shen Ziling was in a daze when she was awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the prison.

In a daze of consciousness, the tall figure of the man appeared outside the fence.

Behind him, accompanied by two servants, is Dong'er and another old figure, Mrs. Liao.

"Miss, uncle is here!" Dong'er shouted softly.

Mrs. Liao raised her head secretly. In the dark prison, her eyes were like a cloudy eagle. She secretly glanced at Princess Si in the prison. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head again.

Shen Ziling knelt on the ground, staring blankly at him.

Dong'er came in with a message the day before yesterday, saying that she persuaded him to come to the clan mansion but was taken away. She thought he would not come.

However, even if he came, there was no warmth on his face, it was as cold as a sculpture, and he had lost a lot of weight.

Is it because she is angry and thin?
"You're here." With great difficulty, she straightened herself up and stood up staggeringly.

King Yisi looked at Shen Ziling in front of him, wearing a white prison uniform, with long hair hanging loose, his palm-sized face was so thin that it was almost no bigger than the palm of his hand, and his naturally ruddy and beautiful cheeks seemed to have been tortured by the past few days in prison Light, pale as snow, emaciated, people have an urge to hold her in the palm of their hands.

His eyes moved down again, and landed on her belly.

I don't know if it's because she hasn't shown her pregnancy yet or the prison clothes are too loose, it doesn't look like she's pregnant for several months.

His eyelids moved suddenly, his thick eyelashes fell, and a shadow hung over his eyelids, showing no emotion.

"unlock."

With an order, the jailer came.

He came over in person without even a glance.

Without further ado, the jailer unlocked the door and said in a low voice, "Please hurry up, heir king." After saying that, he withdrew.

He stepped into the cell: "This king is here because I don't want to be thought of as ungrateful and ungrateful. If you have anything to say, just say it."

The voice was cold without any ups and downs, and it echoed in the cold cell. Dong'er and Mrs. Liao outside the cell could hear it clearly, with different expressions on their faces.

The familiar aura on his body rushed towards her face from a close distance. It was the aura she smelled when she hugged him and even kissed him.

At this moment, her heart, which had been confused for several days, settled down.

"You also think I killed Youshi?" Shen Ziling looked at him fixedly.

He was the man she admired for half of her life, and the husband she entrusted to her for the rest of her life.

As long as he believed her, even if the whole world thought she was a murderer, she didn't care.

He stared at her deeply: "Youshi came to Beijing suddenly, you already had resentment, Youshi disobeyed you in public that day, you were not angry, and when you went to find her, it is normal to accidentally kill her in the dispute. The motive is clear, the murder weapon was also found on the spot, and several officials and family members saw it on the spot, how can you tell me the king not to believe it."

In an instant, there was something tearing and pulling under the left chest, causing a sharp pain.

It hurts more than sitting in prison for a few days in vain.

She restrained the tears that were about to rush up: "What about me, don't you believe it at all?"

"My lord, I only believe in evidence."

"So if the clan's government judges me guilty, you won't intervene?"

"The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people."

A cold sentence made her completely desperate, like a dried fish in a pond being hit ashore by the waves, waiting to die and dry in place, silently: "Xia Houzhen, let me tell you clearly, I didn't kill anyone, even if you don't believe me Me, I still didn't kill anyone!"

"A few days ago, Mrs. You sent people to send messages many times. He wanted to say something to the king, but his words were tense. At that time, the king was angry at her for coming to Beijing without authorization. He was busy with business, and in order to take care of your mood, he ignored her. I haven't even seen her, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that you have murdered her long ago and don't want to keep her mother and child. She is frightened and wants to seek the protection of this king... If the king listens to her report earlier and warns you, Maybe it won't make you act boldly, domineering in the family, and disregard human life."

As soon as these words came out, Dong'er clenched her fists tightly, but my uncle only listened to Youshi and didn't trust Miss at all.

One of Youshi's actions when he was alive, without finding out what he wanted to say to the uncle, did it become the young lady's attempt to harm Youshi?

When did my uncle become so cold and heartless!

But Mrs. Liao's eyelids trembled, and her palms were sweating coldly.

You Shi couldn't bear the trouble of helping her with affairs, and several times said that he would sue her to the heir king, and that he had a lot of evidence from her...

Could it be that the purpose of looking for King Si in those few days was to expose her to King Si?
Goddamn bitch!
Fortunately, she died, otherwise... She really almost killed her!
Mrs. Liao's back was dripping with cold sweat. Just as she relaxed, she took a breath and lifted it up again.

No... it's not too early to be happy.

Although the person is dead, the evidence in her hand is unknown!
If she is not found out and destroyed, and someone finds out, she will be finished as well.

As he was thinking, he heard that Dong'er was already out of breath and grabbed the fence:

"Miss is pregnant with uncle's child, is uncle so ruthless?"

"If this king's child knows that his biological mother is a murderer, he will be ashamed to be born."

These words mentioned Shen Ziling's weakness that could not be mentioned, and he raised his slender arms to slap the man in front of him fiercely——

His hand was in mid-air, but he grabbed it tightly, using force like a steel pliers, unable to move.

After a moment of stagnation, he wrapped her hand with his wrist and pulled it into his arms.

A strong and hot breath hit her, and the breath that belonged to him wrapped her tightly!

Such an aura was approaching, making her feel in a trance, thinking that she had returned to the night before Youshi came, when she reconciled with him.

That night, he hugged her like this, and she fell asleep smelling his masculine breath.

I thought I finally understood each other's mind.

But why does he still not believe her?
She looked directly into his cold eyes, and finally, tears rushed out: "I'll ask you one last time, do you believe me or not?"

"I only blame myself for pampering you too much." He held her petite fist, gritted his teeth, and his eyes wavered slightly.

She felt a chill in her heart, and felt that his hand was slowly pulling away from hers. While pulling away, she also felt that a cool thing was slowly pushed into the palm of her hand.

Small, small, and bone-chilling.

Taking advantage of the faint light coming in from outside the prison, he glanced sideways hastily, and was stunned.

At the same time, he took two steps back, kept a distance from her, turned around and stepped out of the cell.

*
Outside the cell, Dong'er's cries could still be heard, if Mrs. Liao hadn't dragged her away, she would have rushed into the cell and sat in prison with her.

His steps were sonorous and powerful, and he didn't look back.

Shen Ziling blankly held the cool thing in the palm of his hand, but his mind was unusually calm.

Slowly sliding down the wall, sitting on the stone pier, a small arc appeared at the corner of his lips.

*
Three days later, it was the trial day of the Clan Mansion.

Shen Ziling got up early, dressed in snow-white prison clothes, and was led into the lobby by the jailers.

His eyes were no longer confused and panicked, only calm and indifferent remained.

The officials of the clan's mansion who were present had tried many cases involving the royal family, and they had also seen many noble prisoners who lost their composure after being frightened after going to court.

But it is rare to see such a calm female prisoner.

For a moment, she looked like a prisoner sitting in the hall, and she looked like an official interrogating the prisoner.

Some people even sighed in a low voice: "After all, it is the princess from the north. It would be a bit of a waste if I subdue the law for this matter."

"That's not true, there will always be a few cases of the wife killing a concubine, but there are very few cases where the wife kills a concubine. It's a pity that the princess is too unlucky to be seen by so many foreign officials, which affects her. It's too bad, and Mrs. Naru is pregnant with a royal descendant. She killed two people, and the method of killing is too cruel. There must be an explanation. Fortunately, in her position, it's not enough to kill her, and she can be imprisoned for a few years at most..."

"Impressive concubine, sitting in prison for a few years for a little star is not much better than dying. Even if she comes out, her reputation will be ruined."

……

After some statements on the case, the order of the clan's government said solemnly: "The offender, Mrs. Shen, killed two concubines of the heir king, have you ever pleaded guilty?"

"If you have never committed a crime, how can you plead guilty?"

"There are witnesses and material evidence, and there is also a motive for the murder. How dare you say that you have never committed a crime?"

"deny."

"Okay, come here, put on the torture device!"

The old rules of the court trial, if the evidence is convincing, if the prisoner still refuses to plead guilty, only the punishment will serve.

Shen Ziling had expected it a long time ago, so she didn't panic, she just stroked her lower abdomen secretly, silently in her heart, mother bears it, and you bear it too.

The two yamen servants put on the finger torture tool, put it on Shen Ziling's finger, and stood on both sides.

Seeing her steadfast, the clan's official frowned, feeling a little pity in his heart, but no matter how pity he was, the rules and laws must not be missed, so he gritted his teeth and gave her one more chance to come down in person, and whispered: "Princess Si, you As long as the painting is committed, there is no need to go to prison. Forget it, why should you suffer from flesh and blood?"

"It's still the same sentence, there is no crime, how can you plead guilty?"

The patriarch's order had no choice but to go back to the hall and resolutely said, "Execution!"

Ya cha began to slowly tighten the finger rope.

The pressure on the fingers is getting tighter and tighter.

Shen Ziling gritted her teeth and held back, hold on, she must hold on...

She knew that he would definitely come...

Will…

The pain in the fingers started to get sharper.

It could be seen that, under the secret instructions of the clan's government order, the two yamen servants deliberately released some water and pulled it very slowly, so Shen Ziling could bear it.

But with the passage of time, the pain still came in bursts.

Dou Da's cold sweat broke out.

I can't stand the pain anymore...

Dying.But still insist on...

Finally, a shout came from the threshold: "Stop!"

A tall and handsome figure strode in, followed by several guards.

Two of the guards also carried a panicked, hunched figure.

It's Mrs. Liao.

"Heir?" The clan mansion ordered hurriedly got up and went down the steps.

As soon as the finger rope was loosened, Shen Ziling slumped down. Before he touched the ground, he was already wrapped in a pair of arms and hugged him!

In an instant, she rolled into a hot embrace, almost obliterated by the anxious breath of the embrace, opened her eyes, and met his anxious black eyes, her lips moved: "You are here..."

He is finally here.

She knew that he would definitely come.

Her big apricot eyes were full of life again, and she was full of trust, which made him feel like a ball in his heart!
I have been burning with anxiety for many days, and I can't hide it in the slightest.

Since she entered the prison of the clan mansion, all the hostility, rage, eagerness, anger, and the urge to snatch her out can now be poured out at last.

However, before that, he could only put away all these useless emotions!
Otherwise, she would just sit in an unjust prison, and even if he forcibly bailed her out, she would become a poisonous woman who killed her concubine and had a caesarean section.
He knows her temper, it's not her doing it, he must wash it clean in front of the whole world, bright and clean, clean and innocent, and he can't be wronged in the slightest!

Then he will help her do it!
From the beginning to the end, he did not believe that You Shi was killed by her!
Reminiscent of the days before You Shi was killed and said that he had something urgent to report to him, he could vaguely sense who the murderer was. You Shi's death was probably related to what she wanted to report, and he was silenced. It was pushed to Shen Ziling, but there was no evidence, even if that person was taken to the clan's residence, the clan's residence would just say that they just picked someone to take the blame, which would be even more disadvantageous to her!

The purpose of not visiting the prison is to try to find evidence as soon as possible before she goes to court.

He ran to Youshi's west courtyard every day and stayed there all day because he was looking through the evidence in Youshi's collection!
Sure enough, in the interlayer of the dowry box of Youshi's relics, some letters about Mrs. Liao's collaboration with the enemy were found!
However, it is useless to have evidence of Mrs. Liao collaborating with the enemy. At most, Mrs. Liao can be convicted of a crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, but it still cannot prove that it is related to Youshi's death.

The purpose of treating her coldly in the west courtyard and in the prison was to let Mrs. Liao hear her, relax her vigilance, and start to act in fear of the evidence being found!
In the past few days, he, like her in the prison, is enduring, waiting, and suffering.

Until yesterday, he deliberately let go of the words and asked Mrs. Liao and others to carry the coffin back to Jiangbei.

Afraid that the evidence would be missed in the capital, Mrs. Liao couldn't wait any longer. At dawn, she sneaked into You's house, rummaged through the boxes, and was caught by the guards who had been lying down for a long time!

That's what--

"The heir..." The order of the clan's mansion made a sound, which was very embarrassing.

Ever since Concubine Si entered the prison of the Clan Mansion, this King Yi Si has always behaved very well. He is not important, not favoritism, and not perverting the law. Why is he here to make a trial now...

He didn't answer right away, just looked over with sharp eyes, asked the guards to go up the steps, moved down the big carved chair with soft cushions from the clan mansion, put the person in his arms on it, and made another gesture!
At the door, the medical officer of the royal residence who followed along immediately came in and began to feel Shen Ziling's pulse.

He squatted down his long body and waited quietly.

Looking at the empty table behind which the chairs had been removed, the clan's official couldn't laugh or cry: "Si Wang, you..."

"Don't make noise!" Yi Si Wang stared at him with sharp eyes.If eyes could kill, the clan's government order would have killed the hall on the spot!

The Clan Mansion Commander gasped, so he had to keep quiet for a while, and let the old man finish his work first.

The medical officer took the pulse: "Princess Si and the fetus in the womb are all fine, they arrived in time, and the injury on the finger is not serious, just apply some plaster for two days and it will be fine."

Only then did he feel relieved, stood up, and looked at the patriarchal order:

"The suspect is someone else."

What?The clan mansion is horrifying!

The heir king hadn't moved for several days, so he was busy going to investigate!
Shen Ziling cheered up, propped up her head and neck, and looked in the middle.

"The Liao family is fifty-two years old. His ancestors lived in Jiangbei. His natal father was a boxer. He opened a boxing gym in the city in the early years. The Liao family has been fascinated by martial arts since he was a child. With no one to rely on, her natal family was ruined, and when she was poor, she was valued by Meng Nu for her martial arts, and she was also a widowed woman. She would not be alerted, so she was chosen as eyeliner. combat messages."

No wonder, she has always suspected that the person who was so agile and knocked her unconscious that day could be the elderly Mrs. Liao. It turned out that Mrs. Liao was the daughter of a boxer's family, and she was the eyeliner placed by the northerners to hide her martial arts.

Then, it all makes sense...

King Yisi continued: "It's a pity that Mrs. Liao has been lurking in the mansion of Mr. Si for many years. She is just a rough woman. It is difficult to enter the inner house, and it is basically impossible to find out available information. Until Mrs. You was sent to the clothes shop, Ms. Liao thought it was a good job." Opportunity, the foreigner had private intercourse with Youshi to conceive, and then used medicine to delay the pregnancy for half a month, deceiving the king, Youshi was pregnant with the king's flesh and blood, and let Youshi return to the heir's palace."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Shen Ziling was also taken aback.

The child in Youshi's womb is not his?

"Since then, the Liao family has been favored by the You family, and has become a servant of the You family. With the help of the You family, it is more convenient to obtain the king's military information. A few months ago, the Mengnu broke the border and violated my Daxuan Mutual Market. Shi asked You Shi to secretly steal the military newspaper in Ben Wang's study, so that the Mengnu people could know the news in advance. But if things go on like this, You Shi naturally feared that he would be discovered sooner or later, and he was unwilling to be used as a chess piece by Liao Shi, so he secretly searched for Liao Shi's unscrupulous people. Keep the evidence of collaborating with the enemy, treason, and colluding with the northerners at hand at all times, so that you can protect yourself if something happens."

"It was Liao's suggestion that Mrs. You came to Beijing this time. In order to take back his beloved wife, the king lived in the capital for a period of time. He also brought important tiger charms and military information albums with him. The Meng slaves kept secrets on Mrs. Liao. He ordered the Liao family to come to Beijing to steal the tiger amulet from the Huagu Pass in Jiangbei. Once the tiger amulet is in hand and the king is not around, the northerners can drive straight in! An excuse, to come to the capital to look for the king, she can also accompany You Shi, and steal the tiger talisman by the way. You Shi also has his own plan, wants to get close to the king, for fear that the king will reconcile with his beloved wife, so he agreed to Liao Shi, Come to the capital."

After finishing speaking, the voice stopped, and he looked coldly at Mrs. Liao who had already looked as pale as paper:

"This king is thirsty, and it's your turn to talk about the rest."

Everyone: "..."

The order of the clan's mansion gave Mrs. Liao a shock, and scolded: "You still haven't told me the truth!"

Above the lobby, Mrs. Liao didn't have the confidence to work carefully, she was so frightened that she pissed out: "...When we arrived in the capital, Nayou went back on his word again, and he didn't want to help me, and even said he wanted to expose me... The little banquet that day, I thought it was a good opportunity, so I secretly called her back to the west courtyard, and wanted her to steal the tiger amulet that day, but that bitch...Na Youshi still refused, and angrily said that he would expose me, so I pushed her by mistake, She was so heavy that she fell unconscious! I know that if she wakes up, she will definitely not spare me. It seems that this pawn cannot be taken! Instead of waiting for her to expose it, it is better to act first and use it. The scissors in her room...cut her belly open and took out the fetus! Firstly, it was to relieve her anger towards this bitch, secondly...in this house, the only one who had the most conflicts with her was Princess Si, Doing this, everyone will think that Princess Si is annoyed and jealous of her pregnancy, so she kills her to relieve her hatred, but I didn't expect that Princess Si would come soon, so I did not stop doing anything, knocked her unconscious, and called her Take the blame for me..."

Shen Ziling's face turned pale.

Everyone in the hall was also terrified.

King Yi Si waved his hand.

The guard held up the physical evidence.

They were all the letters and confidential documents that Mrs. Liao had confessed after she was caught at the scene this morning and had privately communicated with the Monu people over the years.

...

Before waiting for the order from the clan's government, he couldn't wait to pick up the person in the armchair and strode out of the hall.

"Prepare the horse, open the curtain!"

Her matter is over, and the rest is none of his and her business.Nothing big can stop him from taking her back as soon as possible.

Can't stay for a moment!
Shen Ziling felt dizzy, and hugged his neck tightly: "Where are you going? Slow down!"

"Go back to my hometown!" He immediately realized that his actions were too wild, stopped his pace, began to slow down, walked cautiously, and freed a hand to wrap around her belly in front of everyone, his handsome face showed disbelief.

Before exterminating the Mengnu people, he never thought about becoming a father, and even had some resistance.

But when this day came, he was actually full of joy.

"Xia Houzhen, take your hand away!" She blushed angrily.

"Master not only uses his hands, but also..." He stepped into the carriage, closed the curtain, bowed his head, and covered her delicate face overwhelmingly.

The stubble hurt her!

This beard stubble, I'm afraid it hasn't been cleaned properly for several days!

"Xia Houzhen, bastard! Stay away from me! Are you dirty!"

Even though he was inside the carriage, his subordinates were all outside the carriage, but it was broad daylight after all!
If it was before, he decided to subdue her by force, and continued to kiss her softly, silently, and would not quarrel with him again.

But now she dared not use force, for fear of hurting the baby in her stomach.

He knew that in the next few months, he couldn't be so reckless with her.

But when she gives birth to a baby, then it's no wonder he...

Ha ha.

After a pause, he held her in his arms and said in a soft voice, "What's the matter, are you still angry?"

"Angry! Check it out, and the prison in the clan's mansion didn't tell me clearly!"

He held her hand back and spread his palm with his fingers: "Why didn't you make it clear?"

She thought about it.

That day in the cell, the moment he grabbed her hand that was about to be slapped, he stuffed something in her palm.

It is the momentary jade inlaid on the dagger she loves most and carried since she was a child.

After finding the dagger, she carried it close to her body again, but she didn't bring it with her because she was sent to prison.

At that moment, she knew that her personal belongings were brought by his side and became his personal belongings.

He never mistrusted her and was always by her side.

The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love.

That's what he wanted to tell her.

The carriage wheel gradually turned, along the road, facing the morning light, and ran forward steadily.

"Back to Jiangbei, what do you want to do." She leaned into his arms, and the crisp sound was accompanied by the rattling of the wheels, which stretched extremely long.

"Training soldiers and fighting hurts your wife, and then let your wife have a bunch of sons, and train them to be heroes who stand up to heaven and earth!"

**
Five years later.

Jiangbei.

Grassland near the barracks.

To the north, there is a vast and abyssal grassland in the north, and the border of Mengnu can also be vaguely seen.

To the south, there is Jiangbei City, an important town that guards the borders of rivers and mountains. It is like an iron spoon, as strong as gold, and firmly locks the safety of Daxuan.

A group of child soldiers gathered on the grassland.

They are all the children of Jiangbei Bingshuai's family. Although they are young, they are all vigorous.

Xiaobai Tuanzi, who is about five years old, is wearing a custom-made military uniform. Although he is the youngest among a group of child soldiers, he is commanding a few soldiers to practice exercises with ease.

"My son, I'm exhausted, take a rest."

"Yes, my lord."

"No, it's only been a while! You guys, fight hard, next month you will represent this son in a competition against Dad's team!" Xiaobai Tuanzi scolded seriously.

A group of child soldiers all had a look of lovelessness.

Not far away, several adult generals who accompanied the son looked at each other and smiled.

Ever since King Yisi allocated an army of child soldiers to his only son, every few months he had to compete with the regular army under King Yisi in various skills in the army. The son was like a bloody chicken, and he dragged them to the grassland every day. Going to training, I don't want my father to think that I can't train soldiers!

However, I have to say that this method of King Heir can motivate the little prince and train him well.

Xiao Shizi was young, and he seemed to have the outline of a future generalissimo.

King Yisi's family is destined to guard the border for the country and is the patron saint of Daxuan Sheji.

As the heir king's most beloved only son, he is no exception!
It wasn't until the sun was getting higher and higher that a general stepped up and said with a smile, "It's almost noon, and it's almost time, Xiao Shizi and all the soldiers and generals, let's rest first."

Xiaobai Tuanzi hasn't had enough fun yet, so he sneaked over and lowered his voice: "Dad is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, this son should seize the time to practice more, and this assessment will definitely beat Daddy's soldiers!" I won't be able to keep up with Daddy when he finishes his work these days!"

"Busy? What is the king... what are you busy with?"

Xiaobai Tuanzi said triumphantly: "Daddy said that he will make a younger brother with mother in a few days, maybe a younger sister. Anyway, I heard him tell mother that these days are a good time or something... You say, Isn't this a good opportunity for this son?"

The general's face turned red, it was really real - he was too busy to touch the ground!

However, son, you use the skill of your parents to create younger siblings for you, so insidiously and secretly catch up with your father, is it really all right?
