first princess

Chapter 7
"I have seen the princess and the prince." Li Cheng greeted him coldly, obviously he had heard the bad news on the way and was very angry.

What kind of virtue is her son? Princess Zhenbei knows very well that this matter is the fault of the Zhenbei Palace, so she didn't care about Li Cheng's disrespect: "Cen'er, show Master Li a seat."

Cen'er moved a chair and placed it beside Mrs. Li, and Li Cheng waved his sleeves and sat down, as if he was afraid that others would not know how angry he was.

The problem is that Aunt Xue is pregnant with Li Cheng's child. Li Cheng's heirs are weak, with only three daughters and one son. Pay more attention to the child in Aunt Xue's stomach.This time Zhuge Yu made a huge mess.Will this affect the amount of dowry?Qin Fangyi began to worry.

Mrs. Li observed her husband's expression, logically speaking, she brought him out, and she could hardly absolve himself of the blame for his death.

Mrs. Wu didn't dare to show her anger.

But Zhuge Yu, the culprit of the murder, was extremely calm.

And this confident look made Shui Linglong have a new idea in her heart. The king of Zhenbei loves his son like his life, and even if he loses his official title, he will never allow his son to be wronged.Leaving aside Zhuge Yu's character and various rumors of restraining his wife, he can indeed become a very powerful backer, and because of his bad character, he will probably be blamed for his bad deeds in the future.

Thinking of this, Shui Linglong stuffed the handkerchief embroidered with red plums back into her sleeve.

Li Cheng was furious: "Princess, since you can't teach your son well, I can only let the government do it for me!"

Leng Youru's eyes sharpened: "Master Li, what do you mean?"

Li Cheng said coldly: "What the princess heard is what I mean! Unless Prince Zhuge didn't kill Xue Juan!"

Zhuge Yu raised his eyes faintly: "Oh, I killed it."

"You...you..." Li Cheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Shui Linglong pressed the center of her eyebrows. In her impression, Zhuge Yu had indeed been imprisoned once. When she was rescued by Xun Feng and returned to the Shangshu Mansion, Zhuge Yushang was imprisoned in Dali Temple, while Xuan Guogong Mansion and Zhenbei The palace has been completely torn apart. In the end, Xun Feng succeeded in winning over Duke Xuan's mansion.Is it because of this that the former Xuanguo's mansion and Zhenbei's mansion suddenly turned against each other?

It's really sleepy to send a pillow, so she won't be cheap Xun Feng!Shui Linglong stood up, saluted Li Cheng, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Li, don't you want to know why the Eldest Son killed Aunt Xue and that man?"

Qin Fangyi was shocked, what did the desperate girl mess with?
Snapped!
It was the sound of Zhuge Yu crushing the walnuts, and everyone was shocked, but he stuffed the walnuts into his mouth as if nothing had happened, and the princess did not reprimand him.

He is still in the mood to eat and drink after such a big incident!Li Cheng was annoyed: "What other reason can there be? He is bloodthirsty, and he will kill anyone who doesn't like it!"

Shui Linglong smiled lightly: "Then there must be a reason why you don't like it."

"This..." Li Cheng was also angry just now, so he didn't ask the ins and outs of the matter at all. Now that Shui Linglong mentioned it, he was a little dazed.

Shui Linglong said calmly: "The fact is, Aunt Xue's private meeting with her lover was broken by the elder son, and the elder son reprimanded them a few words, and the man wanted to kill him, but the elder son just slapped himself, who knows The man pushed Aunt Xue out at the critical moment, and this was a tragedy. The prince was so angry that he felt that a man who would sacrifice his wife and children in order to escape was simply unworthy of living in the world. Xingdao killed that man, and speaking of it, it was that man who really killed Aunt Xue, and the son just punished a murderer, which does not constitute any crime in my Great Zhou law."

Tsk——Zhuge Yu sneered, Shui Linglong turned sideways, and said silently: "Shut up! Otherwise, the embarrassing thing about your poor urinary tract will be exposed!"

What... what is urinary tract obstruction?Doesn't she feel ashamed to say such a thing as a little girl?Wait, she eavesdropped on him peeing?Zhuge Yu's ears turned red suddenly...

"Secret lover? His child? Could it be that she isn't carrying a seed from our Li family?" It was Mrs. Li who asked, her voice was trembling, and she didn't know whether it was fear or excitement.

"That's what she said." Shui Linglong dared to make it up, so she was sure that Li Cheng would believe it.If the man ran away as soon as Xue Juan died, maybe it was just his conspiracy to slander Xue Juan, but after Xue Juan died, he was distraught and did not hesitate to question Zhuge Yu, which shows that he did not lie. At the age of 23, but she just entered the house as an aunt, it is impossible for Li Cheng not to find out her past. Perhaps, Li Cheng also tried to cover up her past.

Sure enough, a trace of pain and embarrassment appeared in Li Cheng's eyes.

Shui Linglong said otherwise: "I stayed in Lamei Garden for a long time, so I heard everything I should have heard and what I shouldn't have heard. I am very clear about their entanglement. If Master Li insists on reporting to the police, I am very happy Willing to testify."

Testify what?To testify that Xue Juan was originally a married woman, but he robbed someone else's wife?It is a crime!Li Cheng didn't expect that the dead man would be Xue Juan's ex-husband, and now even he was a little suspicious that Xue Juan was carrying something other than his.After all, Xue Juan's hometown is a county town a hundred miles away, and he didn't reveal his identity when he took Xue Juan away. If Xue Juan hadn't made an appointment with that person in advance, how did he find him?
He looked at Shui Linglong again. She knew that person's identity but only used the word "lover". After all, she was saving face for him, but her threat was also obvious, if he insisted on fighting Zhuge Yu... In the end, if she dies, no one will be happy!

Shui Linglong's performance really impresses Leng Youru, would it be bad for someone who is too shrewd to be a daughter-in-law?Forget it, how big a wave can a concubine make?

Li Cheng finally compromised. Shui Linglong's threat was on the one hand, and Xue Juan thought Xue Juan was behind his back and broke up with her ex-husband on the other hand, so even if he had resentment in his heart, it was not Zhuge Yu's fault.

Under Leng Youru's coercion, Qin Fangyi and Mrs. Wu promised to keep their mouths shut, so there was a new version of the story: Aunt Xue went to the toilet, but was killed by gangsters, and the guards of Li Mansion rushed to kill the gangsters.

Leng Youru rewarded Shui Linglong with many things as thanks.After leaving the meditation room, Shui Linglong threw an orange to Zhuge Yu, and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "It's diuretic, eat more!"

Zhuge Yu's breath paused: "You...you stinky girl!"

Originally, he wanted to push this marriage, but now he suddenly changed his mind. This girl is not very beautiful, but her skin is very fair, her eyes are clear, and she is not obtrusive, especially if she is brave enough. He took a deep breath, squeezed out With a wicked smile, "Wait until I marry you back, and see how I deal with you!"

Shui Linglong shrugged her shoulders: "I'm afraid you'll kill me before I pass the door, what should I do? Then you won't have a chance to torture me."

She didn't believe in the theory of "restraining fate", but felt that Zhuge Yu's first three fiancées died abnormally, maybe Zhuge Yu killed them, maybe someone else.

A dark light flashed in Zhuge Yu's eyes, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "You belong to my master, if anyone dares to kill you, I will kill his whole family!"

Zhuge Yu didn't kill it, Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows.

At this time, Qin Fangyi also came out, and Shui Linglong went back to their wing with her. Qin Fangyi had earlier ordered Mother Zhao and Shiqing to take care of Shui San, Shui Si and Shui Wu. Duan and Tianwangdian walked around.

The few people had a great time playing, and Qin Fangyi personally asked the old lady for a peace talisman, and then took everyone to the carriage back home.

When passing Mrs. Li's carriage, Shui Linglong stopped in her tracks. Mrs. Li was definitely involved in the tragic death of Aunt Xue. You must know that there is a price to pay for using others!

She gave Ye Mao some instructions in a low voice, and Ye Mao understood, and stepped on the wheel when he was not prepared, she was so strong that she stepped on a crack.

It was the same when I went back, Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingyue each took a carriage, Shui Linglong, Shui Lingyu, and Shui Lingqing took a carriage, but Qin Fangyi knew that Shui Linglong saw that this was a blind date and still cooperated very much. She couldn't help but have a slight liking for Shui Linglong in her heart, and for nothing else, she also felt that she could treat Shui Linglong a little better for the incomparably generous gift money, so she mercifully allowed Shui Linglong to get into her carriage.

As for Ye Mao and Hua Hong, they will be with sisters Shui Lingyu.

Shui Lingyu didn't know why today, she suddenly had a stomachache, left the foot of the mountain at dusk, walked and stopped all the way, stretched no less than ten times, almost collapsed.It was getting darker and darker, and they were less than halfway there. On the left was the endless fertile fields, and on the right were green hills.

Recently, brother Shuihang stayed in Changle Pavilion almost every night, and Qin Fangyi was nourished as if he had returned to spring. Now that he misses brother Shuihang, he can't wait to fly back to Shangshu's mansion immediately. Mother Zhao, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, spoke up Report: "Eldest Madam, the carriages of Third Miss and Fifth Miss have stopped again."

Qin Fangyi gritted her teeth angrily: "Understood, let's take a break."

Shui Linglong opened the curtain and glanced back, Shui Lingyue just poked her head out of the carriage, the eyes of the two met, Shui Lingyue's thick eyelashes trembled, and panic flashed across her face However, he quickly retracted his carriage.But soon, Shui Lingyue jumped off the ground and walked towards Shui Linglong and Qin Fangyi.

"Mother, did the third sister eat something unclean? Why do you keep getting stomachaches?" Shui Lingyue asked anxiously.

Shiqing opened the curtain, Qin Fangyi asked Mother Zhao: "What did Miss San eat just now?"

Mother Zhao turned around and replied respectfully: "As for Madam, the ladies ate the cakes and hot tea brought by the mansion, but not only the third miss, but also the fourth and fifth misses."

"So many people are fine, why is it that she has eaten up her stomach?" Qin Fangyi asked coldly.

Shui Lingyue took over the conversation: "Yes, mother, the third sister has always been in good health. If anyone really has a bad belly, it must be the fifth sister. She is young and often gets sick. She is fine after eating, which proves that those Cakes and hot tea aren't bad for your stomach, unless..."

"Unless what?" Qin Fangyi's face darkened.

Shui Lingyue cast a glance at Shui Linglong, and said, "Unless someone takes the opportunity to plant unclean things on Third Sister!"

Clang!

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of broken porcelain from Shui Lingyu's carriage, Qin Fangyi winked, and Mother Zhao jumped out of the carriage quickly, and went over to find out the person who made the noise.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it, bonus?

There was a trace of coldness in Shui Linglong's quiet and deep eyes, is she still restless after all?
Hua Hong plopped to her knees on the ground, trembling all over, her teeth chattering, no one would believe her if she was not afraid of a guilty conscience.

Mother Zhao twisted her ears: "You bastard, what did you do to Miss San? Tell me!"

Huahong burst into tears with pain: "Mother Zhao is merciful, I say, I say! The eldest lady asked me to mix some croton powder in the tea of ​​the third lady, but the eldest lady said that the third lady was stingy and refused to tell her the formula of rouge , she... she just give her some color!"

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, even if she really showed Shui Lingyu a little color, so what?Qin Fangyi would never do anything to her if she wanted the gifts from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, especially Zhuge Yu's sentence today, "You belong to the master, who dares to kill you, the master will kill his whole family", presumably Qin Fangyi heard it and moved her Before the chips were not high enough, Qin Fangyi was not stupid enough to touch Zhuge Yu's nails.

Unless, Shui Lingyue has another trick——
Shui Linglong glanced at the direction in which Shui Lingyu and Shui Lingqing went to "go to the toilet", a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.

It's not a big deal to get some crotons, Shui Linglong is now her cash cow, as for Shui Lingyu, let's talk about it when she is about to leave the court.After Qin Fangyi made some calculations, she sternly said to Huahong: "It's nothing big or small! Who gave you the ambition to slander your master? You are making the whole world laugh at Shangshufu's daughter who is worthless!" Is it enough to accommodate people? Idiot! Mother Zhao, drag me down and beat me!"

To actually convict the bonus without even asking!Shui Lingyue was taken aback, and couldn't figure out whether Qin Fangyi was really protecting Shui Linglong or whether it would hurt the face of Shang Shufu if it was spread out. After all, she didn't know about the blind date, so naturally she couldn't understand Shui Linglong's position in Qin Fangyi's heart .Shui Lingyue was so angry that her eyes stared like gold stars, she couldn't harm Shui Linglong, how did she get the qualification to participate in the plum feast?

Huahong was covered by Zhao's mother, dragged to the side of the hillside, hit [-] boards and died immediately, Zhao's mother spat, ordered the mother-in-law to dig a hole and threw her in.

In the morning of the next day, news came that Mrs. Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of Duke Xuanguo's mansion, had broken her leg due to a carriage overturned. The news that she was going to marry the No. [-] villain in the capital spread like wildfire, and various discussions and speculations spread like snowflakes, floating all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

Some people say that Shui Linglong was burnt with high incense by her ancestors, not to mention marrying into the palace with such an identity, she is not even qualified to be the first wife of an ordinary noble family.

Some people also said that Shui Linglong had done a lot of bad things in her previous life, so she had bad luck, and marrying Zhuge Yu would be better than being a concubine, at least she can live.

Shui Linglong smiled, ignoring these rumors, rebirth, revenge is important, but it is also important to live happily for yourself once!She should not be blinded by hatred and live in the shadow of her previous life all day long.All the chastity, painstaking efforts, youth and love in the previous life were given to Xun Feng, and she should share him with others, hehe, in this life, she will not be so stupid anymore.

In the Fushou Hospital, the old lady was leaning on the head of the bed, her complexion was a little redder than before, and she didn't hear too thick phlegm when she coughed.

After Taiji Chen took the old lady's pulse, a strong surprise flashed in his eyes: "Old lady, you...but you changed the prescription I gave you?"

The old lady frowned: "Why did Imperial Physician Chen say that? Could it be that my illness has gotten worse?"

Doctor Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "No! You, there are signs of improvement!" Tuberculosis is a chronic disease. According to current medical techniques, it is quite difficult to control it, let alone an old man.This is nothing short of a miracle!
The old lady thought for a while, and denied it flatly: "Oh, I didn't change the prescription, I just drank some extra talisman water given by the Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes. It is probably a manifestation of the gods. Let my old lady live a few more days!"

Imperial Physician Chen was a little disappointed, his status as a quack priest was too low, otherwise he really wanted to recommend him to participate in the medical event in spring next year, the winner would not only have ten thousand taels of gold, but also a request to the emperor, what a pity...

He got up and blessed the old lady, and said with a smile: "I'll go back to the palace and report to Empress Yufei. If Empress knows that you are about to recover, she will be very happy!"

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen." The old lady gave Wang Mama a wink, and Wang Mama handed Chen Imperial Physician an ingot of gold, but Chen Imperial Physician hurriedly pushed back, "Before leaving the palace, the Empress has already given me a lot of rewards, how can I do it again?" Want something from the old lady?"

The old lady put the gold into the hands of Imperial Physician Chen herself, and said in a low voice: "I have something to ask Imperial Physician Chen, and I also ask Imperial Physician Chen to tell you everything. Your Majesty has been in the palace for more than five years, and she has always been favored. But so far I have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, but the empress has a deficiency?"

The blue veins on Chen Taiyi's forehead twitched suddenly, lowered his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty is in excellent health."

The old lady's eyes dimmed, she stopped talking, she walked to the desk, wrote a letter to her little daughter, and asked Imperial Physician Chen to hand it over to her.

At nightfall, Shui Hangge heard the good news of the old lady's recovery, and was so excited that he ran into the Fushouyuan, where he saw the old lady and Shui Linglong drinking tea and playing chess.

"Mother." He bowed to the old lady, but was slightly surprised when he saw his daughter playing chess with the old lady.

Shui Linglong stood up and bowed to him: "My daughter has met her father, and my father is blessed."

"Okay, there are no outsiders, if you can avoid politeness." The old lady waved her hand, Shui Linglong offered her seat to Shui Hangge, Mama Wang moved a stool to Shui Linglong, and Jade served hot tea to Shui Hangge.

Shui Hangge didn't know about Shui Linglong treating the old lady's illness, so she immediately praised: "It seems that Fangyi is asking for the peace talisman with all her heart this time."
