Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 268 Implicated
"What happened? Weng Weng came back with a message?" Zhu Mingyan's first reaction was that there was a change in the war in the north. Mrs. Zhou reached out to caress her cheek that hadn't gotten fatter due to pregnancy, and sighed distressedly. He took a deep breath, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and after thinking about it, he said tactfully: "Fourth Master has been resting in Sun's house all this time?"

"Apart from resting in my room for a while, he is resting in the study outside." There was no joy in Zhu Mingyan's voice, and her brows were involuntarily frowned. Mrs. Zhou was startled: "I haven't been to Sun's family once." Where? Why are you annoyed by Mrs. Sun? Have you inquired about it?"

"Why should I inquire about this?" Zhu Mingyan's brows were full of disdain: "He can come if he wants, he can go to any courtyard he wants to rest in, he can pamper whomever he wants, what is there for me to inquire about?" ?”

"You girl!" Mrs. Zhou felt distressed and helpless: "The fourth master has been resting at your place for a while, except for his study. Look at you, how can you still be like this? Could it be because the master came a few more times?" Come on, your temper has just come up?"

"Grandmother!" Zhu Mingyan shouted with a bit of annoyance: "I grew up next to you, and you don't know me. How can I be such a shallow person? It's really..." Zhu Mingyan hesitated to speak, Mrs. Zhou's expression froze, she hurriedly straightened up and asked: "What's wrong? Don't hide it from the old lady." Mrs. Zhou's words were fast and urgent, Zhu Mingyan said carefully: "He rested here earlier, They were all resting in the warm pavilion outside, and Nuanyu and the others were waiting on them, but this time!" Zhu Mingyan paused, a layer of gloom appeared on her face: "He asked me to clean up the wing room outside the Chuihua Gate, and rest there all the time."

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback, Zhu Mingyan lowered her eyes and continued: "He came here to have a meal, that's it, grandma!" Zhu Mingyan looked at Mrs. Zhou with a bitter expression on her face: "At the beginning You persuaded me that this test is sad, I have never listened to your words, and I only found out today that this test..." Zhu Mingyan was choked with sobs and couldn't continue, Madam Zhou let out a long sigh and moved over Holding her granddaughter in her arms, she felt distressed: "Silly child, if you are married, then look forward, which one is not like this? Look, which one is not full of concubines? This is a wife, what you want is respect, you Look, you have a child now, this woman, once you have a child, you will have a bright future, and it will be easier, don't think about it so much, you are not the fourth master, who is not like this when you marry?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Mingyan raised her head slightly, swallowing back the tears that had welled up in her eyes: "Grandmother, don't worry, let's continue talking. He comes here, and I talk to him. He is always distracted. The look on his face ..." Zhu Mingyan didn't know how to describe it: "Grandmother, I don't know how to describe it. There seemed to be a light on her face, very gentle. The corners of her mouth didn't move, but she could see joy, and her eyes were very gentle. , I'm..." The look on Zhu Mingyan's face was even more painful: "I saw such a look on his face that time in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion in Dongyang County. At that time, I thought...then I Only then did I realize that he was waiting for Li's sister there."

Mrs. Zhou shook her body back and forth in shock: "Don't you read it wrong? You? Thinking too much?"

"No, grandma, it's not the first time. I can see it clearly, these few days!" Zhu Mingyan glanced outside subconsciously: "He is not in the mansion, he said he rested here, but he is actually He changed his clothes and went out, and he lost a lot of weight. Grandma, who is he looking at again? Why can’t he tell me? Do he have to hide outside? Could it be that in his eyes, I’m so jealous and unreasonable? I know he doesn't like me, but he shouldn't be so distrustful of me!" Zhu Mingyan became more and more sad as she spoke, but she wanted to fight back, so as not to lose her composure from tears.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhu Mingyan in a daze, took a deep breath after a while, looked straight at Zhu Mingyan and said: "Sister Ming, this matter is not as simple as you think, I came out of the ban and directly I came to you, Concubine Ye Gui was as anxious as a spark to summon me, have you heard about the case in Dingguo's mansion?"

"I heard that Mrs. Sun came to beg my master last night, as if crying for something, but my master... ah!" Zhu Mingyan sighed, with a sad expression: "My master didn't even bother to listen to her words, only heard' The word "female family" actually sent this matter to me! This is obviously a matter of the yamen outside, what can I do?" Zhu Mingyan recalled the attitude of the fourth prince to Sun's last night, and once again she was sad when the rabbit died and the fox, Mrs. Zhou Raising his hand with pity and hatred, Zhu Mingyan said: "You child, you are still so inattentive until now, how can he be... Alas, what the imperial concubine means, the case of Ding Guogong is the black hand of our family. "

"What?" Zhu Mingyan was startled and angry. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly waved her hand to signal her to calm down: "There will be more absurd things in the future, look at you! What does it mean to stay calm in battle?" Zhu Mingyan took a deep breath: "Let me tell you, no matter what happens, Master, it's not like he didn't hear a word of Mrs. Sun's cry. Even if he didn't hear it, it's not a day or two since Dingguo Gong's lawsuit has been going on. How can he not know about it outside? You have to trust me with this matter, you are suspicious of me!" The more Zhu Mingyan said, the more angry she became, her blunt face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

"You be quiet!" Mrs. Zhou sternly reprimanded, Zhu Mingyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and kept nodding to indicate that she understood. Seeing that Zhu Mingyan's mood had stabilized, Mrs. Zhou said, "This I have to tell you something, you have to know, sister Ming, listen to me, you have to change your temper, don't say you are a woman, even a man, you can't let your temper like this, then sooner or later you will Broken! Listen to me, wait for the fourth master to come back, and explain this matter to him, my lord, we hope that you are definitely not such a treacherous person, we can't do such sneaky things. "

"What can I explain?" Zhu Mingyan's face was full of anger: "The Zhu family has a century-old family, and he doesn't know how the family education is? I have been married to him for a year, and he doesn't know what kind of person I am? He If you doubt me...if you doubt me..." Zhu Mingyan's voice trembled and she couldn't speak: "What else can I say? If I tell him, he will believe it? I have nothing to say!"

"You!" Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter with great distress. She wanted to persuade her but she really didn't know what to say. , this is a trivial matter, don't worry about it, don't worry, although the old lady is old, but her methods are not old, since this is the case, it only takes a little effort, let's find out the person behind this and leave it to them, don't worry, There is a wife."

"Grandmother!" Zhu Mingyan stood up, put her hand on Mrs. Zhou's arm, pressed her cheek against Mrs. Zhou's temples, and this involuntary attitude of a little girl made Mrs. Zhou feel sad and soft. He patted her lightly, said a few more words of relief, pressed her back on the kang, and left the house to go back.

In the Li Palace far away from the capital, the officials held hands behind their backs, and only brought Eunuch Zheng to enjoy the flowers in the greenhouse.

"The camellias are not blooming well this year." The official spoke slowly, with a slightly frivolous breath, Eunuch Zheng looked at him worriedly from behind and smiled, "To tell you the truth, I haven't seen any good camellias in the past ten years. "

"Alas!" After a long time, the official sighed leisurely. Since she left, there really has been no good camellia: "Is the matter in Dingguo's mansion still going on?"

"Yes, I received another secret letter from Hou Fuyin this afternoon..."

"Hmph!" The official's cold snort interrupted Eunuch Zheng's words: "Which way is this? Since he has recognized the Lord, he should be single-minded! The left one is clear and the right one is secret, what a villain!"

"This is also human nature!" Eunuch Zheng explained with a little care: "No matter how much he recognizes the Lord, he is still a subject of His Majesty, and it is not wrong to do so." The official snorted again, but did not Rejecting Eunuch Zheng's words, Eunuch Zheng continued: "It's better not to let the fifth master make trouble with the case of Duke Dingguo's mansion. Duke Dingguo's mansion is really a fish in the pond."

"Pond fish? Is there any pond fish in that city?" The official said with a smile: "Let them fight!" Eunuch Zheng swallowed, no one knew the official's temper better than him, since he said so , There is no need to talk about this matter, it will be useless to say more.

"It's freezing cold here, and we don't know how cold it is in the north!" Eunuch Zheng wisely changed the subject: "That year, I served His Majesty on the Northern Expedition. A glass of boiling water was only a dozen steps away from the tent. , it was cold, and I was young at that time, so I didn’t feel that cold.”

"That's right, it's been more than ten or twenty years." The official stopped, turned around, looked out of the glazed shed in a daze, and said sadly after a while: "Brother and I have been fighting in the north since we were young. You can trust him." Eunuch Zheng's ears seemed to twitch, he held his breath and did not dare to make a sound, waiting for the official to continue.

"Wangdan is nothing, and he has a Mo knife in his hand." The official's voice was extremely low, and eunuch Zheng hesitated and said: "It's like this on the grassland. It's easy to fight, but hard to find people. I remember when His Majesty conquered Beiting." This was the most troublesome thing at the time, and then I finally lured the main force out of the North Court and wiped it all out, and the north has had peace for more than ten years, but His Majesty has been preparing for that battle for more than a year, if..."

"If there is no trace of Wangdan during the Spring Festival, call the elder brother back, right?" The official took over Eunuch Zheng's words and continued in a calm voice. With a glance, he said: "I know you love him the most, don't worry, he is my son, I'm fine, and so is he!"

Eunuch Zheng sighed silently, the official family is good at everything, it's just this kind of heart, too cruel!Be cruel to others, and be cruel to yourself.

"Is there any letter from the Ninggan Mansion?" The official walked slowly forward again, and eunuch Zheng hurriedly replied: "No letter."

"Yeah!" The official said playfully: "At the beginning when Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai entered the household training department, I thought they had a choice in their minds. I didn't expect that Jiang Hong would invite him to go to the side, and Xu Sihai would make such a fuss again. Guy, interesting!"

"Yes, Xu Bangyan found out the Ding Jinjing this time, and the people in Ninggan Mansion who died in vain can rest in peace." Eunuch Zheng sighed, and the official said casually: "Everyone is going to die." Eunuch Zheng Glancing at the official's family, she sighed secretly, she was right, in the eyes of the official's family, no matter how many people died, it was just a number.
