first princess

Chapter 251: Seeking to usurp the throne (1)
In the Bauhinia Courtyard, Mrs. Zhen ordered people to beat Xing'er with twenty big boards, and then threw her into the woodshed and left her to fend for herself.The culprit, Dong Jialin, was tied to a stake with a pile of dry firewood under her body.According to the customs of Kashgar, unchaste women must be lit with sky lanterns, and men who commit crimes must be sentenced to five punishments. Unfortunately, Xun Feng escaped.There was no way to punish Xun Feng's unwillingness, and turned into double anger and poured it on Dong Jialin.

Qiao Hui clutched her stomach, unable to bear to watch that cruel scene, she couldn't understand, she was obviously pregnant with a child, why did she have to watch such a bloody scene?How did she understand that Zhen Shi was trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys, and Dong Jialin's incident completely hurt Zhen Shi's heart. How much she believed in Dong Jialin's simplicity at the beginning, but now she hates Dong Jialin's hypocrisy.She was furious when her son was cuckolded, but she was even more angry that Dong Jialin used her innocent and pitiful appearance to deceive her!
"You shameless woman, you have played so many tricks to gain my trust! To win the trust of the county king! You are not as good as pigs and dogs!" Zhen Shi was furious, and cursed.

Dong Jialin was ashamed and indignant, but sneered, "Who is born a devil, isn't it all forced? I lost my father and mother because of an accident in my family, and I have been inferior since then, but with my appearance and talent, why should I be inferior? I worked hard I want to please everyone around me, Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao, Zhuge Xi, the second wife, the county king, the second young mistress, the concubine... But look, who among you has seen my sincerity? The family raised me to win a good name. The sweetness between the king and me for a few days was nothing more than lust in love. When I swore that I would not harm Qiao Hui's pregnancy, who would really stand by me? The king of the county loves to enter the mansion as a concubine, and I never thought of arguing with the second young lady, but all of you look at me and think I want to fight for something! Just because I am a concubine, do I deserve to be spoiled like this by you?"

"You...don't force your words! Who ruined you? Since ancient times, wives have been regarded as noble concubines and cheap, and you are not a three-year-old child, don't say you don't understand! Besides, why did we treat you badly? Do we have to put you Is it enough for the censor to join the king of the county to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife? You have lived in Yao Mansion for so many years, don't tell me you don't know how the concubines live in the house! We Have you been forced to drink avoidance soup? Have you been told to come to me every day to set the rules? Have you been harassed for something? I asked myself if I treated you well, but in the end I provoked you to be so sneering and sarcastic, okay! I, Zhen Minglan, am blind!" Zhen's eyebrows were raised with anger, if she really abused Dong Jialin, it would be fine, but for a while, she regarded Dong Jialin more than Qiao Hui, because Dong Jialin was not up to date and couldn't keep a man Heart, is it possible that she can tie the king of the county and put it on her bed?An unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!

King An was also very angry, "Dong Jialin, why is there a relationship between us? You do such a nasty thing behind my back, but your morals are degraded! If everyone is like you, the world will be in chaos ?" Qiao Hui wouldn't be like this, Qiao Hui has never been wronged?As a newlywed wife, she watched her husband take a concubine as soon as she was pregnant, and later suffered from the pain of a miscarriage... He didn't feel anything at first, but now after comparing and analyzing, he really felt Qiao Hui's difficulty.He held Qiao Hui's hand, feeling a little more pity in his heart.

Zhen was furious and said: "Stop talking nonsense! Light the sky lantern!"

Liu Zhu raised the torch expressionlessly and walked towards Dong Jialin.

Seeing Liuzhu approaching her like a god of death, Dong Jialin couldn't help but panic, and the fear of death a second ago was gone, "No... you can't do this... I... I am from Dazhou... According to the laws of Dazhou... Pregnant women cannot be sentenced to death..."

Zhen sneered disdainfully: "The man you married to Kashiqing is our daughter-in-law of Kashiqing. Aren't you Da Zhou also married and obeying your husband? How we deal with you is our business, it has nothing to do with the law!"

Qiao Hui turned her face away. King An did not take good care of her as before, but acquiesced that she watched the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods.

Dong Jialin was frightened out of her wits. When the night wind blew, the heat from the torch seemed to brush her face, but she felt as if her whole body was burned. The righteous indignation disappeared at this moment, leaving only endless Terrified and frightened, she began to beg for mercy: "The king...the king...I was fascinated for a while...I didn't mean to...I...I...I was forced...he...he threatened me...really... of……"

King An didn't even lift his eyelids!
It's really ruthless... Dong Jialin burst into tears, and pinned her hope on the kind Qiao Hui, "Second young lady! Second young lady, help me, you save my life, and you can only do good for the little county king. The one who came to the world in peace..."

These words are pleading on the surface, but if you take a closer look, isn't it a curse?If you don't save her, she will turn into a ghost and haunt Qiao Hui and the fetus in her womb.

Qiao Hui's body softened and she leaned on King An's shoulder.King An still didn't show the slightest sympathy, not because he didn't want to, but because he was too focused, the light from the torch caught his eyes, jumping like two ghost fires, with a faint edge of excitement.Qiao Hui looked at it, and suddenly felt that such a county king was very strange... Maybe this is the difference in culture and belief.

Liu Zhu walked up to the firewood, smiled sinisterly, and threw the torch in her hand.Dong Jialin wailed hoarsely...

boom!A force bounced off the torch.Everyone was taken aback, looking towards the door, it was Zhuge Yu and Shui Linglong who came hand in hand.Zhuge Yu's serious eyes swept over the heads of the crowd, and finally locked on the eyebrows of King An, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuge Ming, as a court official, you should abide by the laws of the Great Zhou, and you must not abuse pregnant women mentally or physically. Not to mention the execution of pregnant women, women and children don’t understand, are you also legally illiterate?”

King An was so angry that he lost his mind just now, and now he was awakened by Zhuge Yu's mention, but...he was unwilling, "Brother, she did such a shameful thing, she will be soaked in pigs in Da Zhou." Those who are caged will not escape death!"

Zhuge Yu said solemnly: "The child is innocent, when she gives birth to a child, it's up to you to deal with it!"

The rebellious emotions in King An's heart were instantly aroused, "Brother, if you don't tell me, I don't tell you, how can this matter get out?"

Zhuge Yu's sharp gaze shot at him in an instant, "If you don't want to be an official, get the hell out of here and go back to Kashgar!"

King An's scalp was numb, and he cupped his hands unwillingly and said, "I know what to do, brother."

Shui Linglong looked at Qiao Hui who was so frightened that her legs were shaking. After leaving the Bauhinia Courtyard, she asked Zhuge Yu, "Is it too cruel? Qiao Hui is pregnant. What if she is scared and has a miscarriage?"

Zhuge Yu answered her question very calmly: "This is a ceremony to sacrifice to the gods. If there is a miscarriage, according to Kashiqing's statement, the child will not be liked by the gods."

The corner of Shui Linglong's mouth twitched, so... so... so superstitious!

Zhuge Yu held her hand, "Linglong."

"Huh?" Shui Linglong looked at him suspiciously.

You are my belief, so don't worry that one day I will treat you that way.Zhuge Yu's eyes moved, and he said softly: "It's nothing, I'll just call you."

Shui Linglong smiled softly, hugged his arm and put her little head on it. Too many things happened today, her sister was in distress, and she had a confrontation with Xun Feng. She could deal with it with all her strength when she was nervous. After the alarm was lifted, Fatigue hit my heart like a tidal wave.

Zhuge Yu picked her up, saw her yawning from exhaustion, and kissed her forehead distressedly, "Go to sleep."

"En." Shui Linglong responded softly, and soon fell asleep in his arms.

Back in the Mohe Courtyard, Zhuge Yu ordered the maids to bring hot water. Perhaps she was too tired, and Zhuge Yu was used to serving her. From undressing to taking a bath, and then being stuffed into the bed, Shui Linglong was always half asleep, but she was too lazy to wake up. open your eyes.When Shui Linglong fell asleep, Zhuge Yu asked the wet nurse to bring the children over.

Today my sister was hijacked, frightened, she couldn't sleep well, and there were still tears in her eyes.My brother was terrified because he witnessed the whole process, including the bright red blood on the ground.Zhuge Yu let his daughter sleep in his arms, put his brother in Shui Linglong's arms, and finally pulled the quilt to cover the happy family, and closed his eyes.

The most exciting thing for the children to wake up is to be beside their parents. When the sister and brother opened their eyes, Zhuge Yu had already gone to clean the room, but Shui Linglong was still there. The two were so happy that they huddled under the covers to play With Shui Linglong's hair and fingers, Shui Linglong couldn't fall asleep after playing so much.Shui Linglong hugged a pair of babies, smiling and kissing non-stop.Sister and brother giggled and started tossing and turning on the bed.

When Zhuge Yu came out after washing, he saw the warm and beautiful scene of his wife and children, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.I don't know what I thought of, my eyes narrowed slightly, but they quickly recovered.

"Morning." As soon as Shui Linglong raised her head, she found Zhuge Yu standing opposite her, giggling. The children all turned their heads and found their father. Surprisingly, this time they didn't cling to Shui Linglong as usual, but agreed by coincidence. He stretched out his small arms towards his father, "Hug!"

Zhuge Yu walked to the bed and hugged the two of them on his lap.

The two little guys hugged their father's neck tightly, feeling as if they had found a safe haven.

"Daddy, daddy..." the elder sister called out first.

"Big, big, big..." The brother who couldn't pronounce correctly also called out.

Afterwards, the short-lived peace came to an end. The two of you pushed me and I pushed you. They started fighting in order to monopolize their father. Naturally, the black-bellied sister won with tears.

The whole family had eaten breakfast, Zhuge Yu said before leaving: "You are ready to take the children to live in the general's mansion for a few days when I take a rest."

Shui Linglong nodded without thinking, "Okay."

Zhuge Yu picked up her face and kissed her lips, "Mother will like you." At the end, he said: "Mother Concubine is really angry this time, Grandma believed what Gong Mama said, and mistakenly thought that Mother Concubine She is a person who spreads rumors. I guess the mother concubine will not return home for a while. While she is away, you can find someone to renovate the Qingyou courtyard, and create a delivery room, a bedroom and a few babies like the wisteria courtyard. room, her due date is next spring, but there is no guarantee for a woman to have a baby, so prepare in advance."

Shui Linglong smiled, "Well, I have drawn the blueprints in the past two days. By the way, I can't hide Xun Feng's matter, what are you going to do?" Xun Feng was a prisoner of the imperial court. I don't know if those who dislike Zhuge's family will take the opportunity to trample Zhuge's family to the end.

Zhuge Yu showed a relieved smile, "I will go to Zhezi to attack Xun Feng. He pretended to be Mu Hua, deceived the palace, and deceived the Yao family. His heart is abominable, and he should be punished according to the law!" Li's cousin-in-law, if Yun Li had the ability, he would take over the Yao family, otherwise the Zhuge family would be safe.

Shui Linglong fastened the buckle for Zhuge Yu, "Xun Feng is so ruthless, I guess he will be able to recover soon."

Zhuge Yu clasped Shui Linglong's head and kissed her deeply, "Don't go out these few days, I'm afraid Xun Feng will do something to you."

Shui Linglong smiled shyly and pushed him away. He had just walked a few steps when Shui Linglong chased after him, "I want to make some clothes for mother, do you know what size mother wears?"

"It's about the same size as Shangguan Yan." After saying that with a smile, Zhuge Yu held her in his arms and kissed her hard, and then reluctantly left Mohe Courtyard.

As soon as Zhuge Yu left, Zhi Fan came in with a pale face on his back, "Eldest... Miss, Mrs. Mu, no, Yao Xin is gone!"

But last night, Xun Feng took Yao Xin away before leaving the mansion. It is unknown whether Yao Xin was voluntary or forced.Mrs. Yao was so angry that she "killed" the important person in the palace without even eating breakfast, "My good-looking daughter married into your palace but disappeared, you give me back my daughter!"

Zhuge Liuyun is still hangover, the old matriarch is getting old, Zhuge Yu and King An go to court, only Shui Linglong and Zhen Shi sit in charge.Mrs. Zhen quickly glanced at the furious Mrs. Yao, then at Zhuge Xi and Feng Yanying who were silent and silent, sneered in her heart, but said kindly on her face: "Mrs. Yao, I understand your desire to find a girl, but Yao Xin is not in the mansion, we won't be able to hand over anyone for a while, but we have already sent someone to look for it, you can rest assured to wait for the news."

Mrs. Yao slapped the table, pointed at Mrs. Zhen and cursed angrily: "Wait for the news with peace of mind? How dare you say such a thing to me? If your daughter disappeared suddenly, would you be at ease? What did you do when you came to propose marriage?" You promised me that you would treat my daughter as if you were your own. Look at your whole family, there is no one missing except my daughter! Is this what you call 'treating my daughter as your own'? If you have the ability, don't treat your palace The retribution for the evil I did will be on my daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen became displeased, "Mrs. Yao, you mean that your daughter is missing, and you have to find someone else to accompany her? You're going to make it hard for the whole world? The Empress Dowager is still worth three points!" Relying on being the relative of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, he ignored everyone, damn it!
Mrs. Yao almost fainted with anger, "You... you, a concubine, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? Tell your prince to come here! Or ask the princess to come here!"

Shui Linglong said in a calm manner: "Mrs. Yao, please sit down. My father and king are not feeling well, and it is not convenient to meet guests for the time being. My mother and concubine just returned to my natal family to visit relatives. Sit down and listen to me and you about Yao Xin." Analyze it in detail."

Mrs. Yao became even more angry when she heard the words, "Wow, wow! Your Zhuge family is deceiving people too much! My daughter is missing, and the princess is still in the mood to go back to her mother's family to visit her relatives!" When I went back to my natal family before, because the maids said that Yao Xin didn’t see her in the middle of the night, she was angry that Zhuge’s family coaxed her daughter over and made it difficult for her to take care of her, so that her daughter didn’t know where she was now. "It should be condemned by conscience!

Zhen Shi was still worried about that "little concubine", so she frowned and said: "When the princess returned to her mother's house, she didn't know that something would happen to your daughter!"

Mrs. Yao wanted to step forward and tear her mouth apart, "Shut up! You are not the head of the house, so don't interrupt here!"

Zhen Shi choked and almost gritted her silver teeth.

Mrs. Yao looked at Shui Linglong again and said sharply: "Then what about your father? What kind of illness is so coincidental that he can't even get out of bed? Or is it that he has no face to face others, so he became that shrinking turtle!"

This is too much, Zhuge Liuyun is a king with a different surname, even if Mrs. Yao is an aunt of the emperor, she has no right to insult the prince who was conferred by the royal family.Zhuge Xi frowned, feeling that her mother-in-law's words were very harsh.

Shui Linglong looked at Mrs. Yao with cold eyes, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mrs. Yao, I understand that you are worried about your daughter, but please be careful with your words. We are also victims. You really want to bring the relationship between the two families to a head." At that point, the Zhuge family will no longer be in the team looking for your daughter."

Mrs. Yao's scalp was numb from Shui Linglong's gaze, which seemed to hide endless undercurrents, as if she had fallen into a deep pool of ten thousand meters, and she hardly dared to open her mouth to breathe. Can you be fooled by her?Mrs. Yao took courage again, "Maybe you guys colluded with Xun Feng! You deliberately tricked my daughter into marrying me, who knows what trouble is hiding in your belly?"

Zhuge Xi and Feng Yanying lowered their heads.Shui Linglong glanced coldly, and said without anger: "Is this marriage really proposed by our Zhuge family?"

Mrs. Yao was so blocked that she could not utter a rebuttal.

Shui Linglong strikes while the iron is hot, "Mrs. Yao, no matter what identity Xun Feng uses, your daughter has already married the other party, so they are husband and wife. How can you conclude that your daughter was taken away instead of voluntarily?" Did she leave? Isn't her personal maid, Jin Ju, also in the mansion?"
