The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 3

After the young man rescued her, he left in a hurry, followed by the servants who followed her back home.She has no way of knowing the tossing and turning, because she was unconscious for three days, followed by another three days of high fever.

When she wakes up completely, there is only one month left before her wedding day.

The imperial doctor took her pulse and said goodbye, and returned to Prince Heng's Mansion.

After the book case, Heng Wang Song Chen finally felt a little relieved after listening to the imperial doctor's reply. Now that he is fine, his worries can be relieved a little. Did this happen by accident or man-made?

Not long after the imperial doctor left, he called out the door: "Gao Li."

Gao Li is his personal guard, the head of the six guards in Hengwang Mansion, and his absolute loyal servant.After Gao Li came in, he consciously closed the door, Fang stood in front of his master and said, "My lord."

"How's it going?"

Gao Li looked serious, "According to the clues I just got, the fast horse should have gone to the west of the city that day, but most of the west of the city are farmhouses, and its specific whereabouts are still under further investigation, so it is not yet certain."

West of the city?

There are several farms of rich families in the west of the city. If he remembers correctly, the prince's Bilu Garden is also in the west of the city.

Song Chen sneered softly, the subtle changes in his face made Gao Li standing in front of the table subconsciously clenched his fists.

"Where is the rescuer, have you found it?" Song Chen asked lightly.

Gao Li replied honestly: "My lord, please forgive me. It is said that the savior left Miss Chu after being rescued. Because the scene was chaotic at that time, everyone in the Chu family cared about their own lady, so the subordinates did not find anything. clue."

Hearing that Chu Xue was mentioned in the words, he felt a little soft in his heart without noticing it, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Forget it, protect Chu's mansion well these days, and don't tell them anything will happen before marriage."

"Yes."

He raised his hand, and Gao Li gently left the room again.

Prince Song Zhao has been very upset recently.

This time, the emperor only called back the other brothers who were entrusted outside in the name of celebrating the fifth birthday. Such a different behavior from previous years obviously has ulterior motives.

Because he was born of the queen, he was named the prince when he was one year old, and it has been 31 years since he was born. For 31 years, his seat has been firmly seated. The rest of the princes were entrusted to other places after they became adults, and he is the only one who has been sitting firmly in the East Palace.He thought it was a matter of course that the position of crown prince belonged to him, and he was the one who would be in charge of the world when his father and emperor died.

However, the father was not the prince at first, but the dragon chair that he sat on through a mutiny.Then can his own crown prince be able to sit safely until the time of his succession?
The most difficult thing in this world is the word variable.

Among the six princes other than him, the eldest son has the status of the eldest son of the emperor because of his low birth mother's status, but he has always been indifferent to the world, and there is really no advantage to calling him "big brother" on weekdays. Desirable.The fifth and the sixth like to enjoy life in comfort, one is romantic and the other is reckless, and the emperor naturally doesn't take them seriously, and there is another seventh, who has just grown up now, so it really doesn't make sense...

Calculated in this way, the only ones who can pose a threat to the Xinsi City Mansion are the third and fourth, but the third's biological mother, Concubine Jinggui, has a higher status than the fourth's biological mother, Concubine Duan. Indeed, the limelight is more prosperous.

However, just two days ago, the third child who was so in the limelight married Du Yushi, this is simply adding fuel to the fire!Chu Lin, an old fox, usually looks upright and upright, but now he has just had a little trouble, and he has turned to the third child so completely. He was really underestimated before.

If things go on like this, with Chu Lin's weight in his father's heart, won't the youngest get a little more attention?

If you want to blame it, blame yourself for the fact that the positions of the main concubine and side concubine in the palace are all filled up early, or else it will be him who will marry the daughter of the Chu family in a few days!

Such a wonderful chess game actually let the third child take the lead...

The prince was extremely disturbed.

As the emperor's birthday is approaching and the three-yearly martial arts test, the martial arts practice field of the Jingwei Division is unprecedentedly lively these few days.

On the last day of the martial arts test, led by the crown prince, all the princes visited the Jingwei Division in person to watch the results of the selection on the spot.The weather was fine, and the high-hanging sun reflected the brilliant fighting of masters in the martial arts field. It should be a wonderful scene, but after a long time, there are always people who are bored.

At this moment, six princes and a crown prince were sitting on the stand where the pergola was set up early. The scene was comparable to the presence of the emperor in person, and all the warriors on the field naturally tried their best to fight hard.Just as the fighting on the field was getting more and more exciting, King Shen, who was the least martial artist in the stands, interrupted him. He looked at King Heng who was watching the audience intently, and chatted: "Hey third brother, I heard that you It's really fast to marry Du Yushi, when did you fall in love with Chu Lin's daughter?"

Shen Wang has always been a beautiful woman, so it is not surprising to ask such a question. Following his question, everyone looked away and looked at Heng Wang curiously.

Heng Wang, who just looked away from the field, smiled lightly, "It's nothing, could it be that when you meet someone you like, and there is no side concubine in the mansion, you just make it up, don't you all have it already?"

King Shen nodded and jokingly said: "Speaking of which, there are not many people who can make you fall in love at first sight. She must be a beauty who can make you keep the side concubine until now. How about it? Do you want to put wine? When will you bring it out?" Shall we all meet?"

"Follow the rules." King Heng denied it, and turned his eyes to the audience.

King Shen didn't find any advantage, so he looked away sleepily, and looked around countless times, and finally landed on a pretty maid who was serving their tea not far away.

Half an hour later, the martial arts test ended, and the top three of this year were immediately selected.The martial arts old Liu Rui Wang was a little bit dissatisfied, and said: "Why did it end so soon? There seems to be nothing special this year."

The prince who was just about to get up paused when he heard this, and immediately found a comfortable position on the seat, and said with a smile: "It's true, it's still early, and the venue is rare,... why don't you let all your guards come on the stage to shine?" Let's see, let's see who has the best talent in the house."

This semi-imperative proposal was immediately approved by King Rui, "That's a good idea, who will go first?"

The crown prince raised his hand, "East Palace will throw bricks first, starting with the eldest brother, then the third and fourth, and going down the row."

As soon as the words fell, the guards accompanying the prince followed the command and entered the stage, competing with the boss Huai Wang's mansion.

While everyone's eyes turned to the audience, King Heng glanced sideways, and glanced at Gao Li beside him from the corner of his eye. Gao Li immediately lowered his eyelids, understanding.

After a while, Prince Huai's Mansion lost as expected, and it was Gao Li's turn to play. Gao Li understood what his master meant, and he only used four points of his skill in the competition, so he naturally lost to Donggong easily.This situation happened twice in succession, until the people from Old Liurui Prince's Mansion came to the stage to defeat the guards of the East Palace who also had reservations. Only the people from Prince Rui's Mansion were left.

Old Liurui Wang looked very dissatisfied, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Why does everyone look like they haven't eaten? Are you looking down on me? I don't believe it. How can Gao Li's kung fu be so bad? There are two Brother, have you raised some idlers in the Eastern Palace?"

The crown prince could naturally see that Gao Li didn't go all out, but his own people did have reservations, so he had nothing to refute, he just wanted to divert his target, his eyes swept away unintentionally, and he saw several young men from the Jingwei Division, Then he casually ordered: "Since Lord Rui didn't enjoy himself to the fullest, the Jingwei Division sent someone out."

The commanding officer of Deling turned his head to discuss with several subordinates. After a while, a young man in red official uniform walked into the center of the arena and greeted the princes in the stands with a bright voice and full of confidence.

"Weichen Jingwei Zhang Zheng, is willing to make a fool of yourself in front of your highness."

"Okay! Since King Rui wanted to have a good time, he let go of the beating, and asked Bengong to see if the imperial court's salary and the Jingwei Division have any white-collar workers."

The prince spoke, and a real fist fight immediately started on the field. Although the two sides did not use weapons, they were both sincere, so it looked very exciting. Even King Shen, who had been staring at the beauty all the time, was paying attention put on the field.

After thirty moves, Zhang Zheng beat Rui Wangfu with one punch.He stood still in the arena and saluted again, and was about to step off the stage, when he saw King Rui, who was still yelling just now, suddenly drew his sword, leaped from the stands to the arena, and attacked Zhang Zheng without any explanation.

This sudden accident shocked everyone present, and caught Zhang Zheng in the field by surprise.If the opponent is an ordinary person or a bandit, he can fight back immediately and mercilessly, but the person who comes is a dignified prince, how can he fight back?King Rui's sword was aggressive, and Zhang Zheng, who was unarmed, dodged repeatedly. Seeing that the opponent refused to fight back, the impatient King Rui actually used a killer move.

Seeing that the sword in King Rui's hand was about to take Zhang Zheng's life, before the prince could speak, another young man in a blue shirt suddenly jumped into the field, and with only two or three strokes of the scabbard, King Rui was knocked down. The murderous sword in his hand stopped this ridiculous challenge.

Just when King Rui was surprised, the young man stood still, bowed his head in a respectful manner, and said: "My lord, please calm down. Zhang Zhengsheng is upright. If you just offended your lord, please bear with me and show mercy."

The people in the stands were also amazed at the young man's skill and courage, and were too shocked to speak.Only King Heng came to his senses first, and said: "Ji Yan, let's stop at the end of the deal, you are a prince, why did you make a killing move with the Jing Weisi? Come back soon."

King Rui came back to his senses, looked at the handsome young man in front of him carefully again, and said repeatedly: "Good work! Good work! What's your name?"

"The commander of the Weichen Jingwei Division is Qin Yuan, and he has met the prince." The young man greeted him again, but his posture was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Qin Yuan, okay, this king will remember you." King Rui sized him up again, and finally returned to the stands.

After watching the martial arts test held every three years, the people from the Prince's Mansion showed off their fists and kicks, and also got a glimpse of the strength of the Jingwei Division. The princes had gained a lot, and they all went back to their respective places.

In the carriage on the way back, King Heng recalled today's situation, frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "Qin Yuan... I remember that General Qin Mu's son is in the Jing Wei Division, but it is this Qin Yuan?"

Gao Li's deep voice came from outside the car: "Return to master, that's right."

"It's a talent."

King Heng's voice was heard outside the car, and the accompanying guards fell silent immediately.

After taking the decoction for another six or seven days, Chu Xue finally recovered.

It was really lucky to say that although the accident that day was thrilling, except for being bumped, she didn't have the slightest trauma on her body. Looking at her still perfect face in the mirror, she breathed a sigh of relief.Since that person liked her only because of this face, and since she must compete with other women for favor in the future, of course she must protect her foundation.

In the past, she never thought that one day she would pay so much attention to her appearance, but there was no way, who made her unable to escape such a fate?Since you can't escape, you have to bear it.

Of course, you have to bear it well.

For the rest of the month, apart from preparing the wedding dress and learning the rules and etiquette in the palace, the mother specially invited a nanny to teach her how to be a wife.Although the mother is the only woman of the father, she also knows the days she will face. In order to save her from making detours in the future, she puts her face down to ask around, so she invites this nanny who is said to have some experience in serving men. Come to Fuchu.

Since she is serving her husband, it is inevitable to mention the matter of the boudoir. Although the nanny can let it go, she is really shy as a girl who has not left the court, but even though she is shy, she has made up her mind and knows what she will do in the future. She had no choice but to force herself as hard as she could, blushing and listening to Mammy's explanation.

After the emperor's birthday banquet is over in a few days, the princes will have to return to their fiefs, and King Heng is no exception.This means that after marrying into the palace, she will follow King Heng back to Yanzhou. The palace in Yanzhou should be her usual place of residence, and the palace of King Heng in the capital can only live for a few months at most. Even so, Prince Heng Or specially asked people to renovate the courtyards for her in the two mansions to show how much they value her.This move also reassured the family of the Chu Mansion a little.

The night before entering the palace, the mother specially prepared a basket, and called her into the room to hand it to her in the dead of night. She lifted the cover of the basket and saw the contents inside, and immediately froze.The mother said softly: "Find a place where no one is around, and let Yanling guard it for you, go and say goodbye, this is a lifetime event, at least let them know."

She nodded with tears in her eyes, and left the room while the night was falling.

Not long after, she came to the back of a rockery in the garden, took out the fire paper in the basket, and lit one by one, looking at the jumping flames, she couldn't help crying.

"Father, mother, elder brother, I am Wenwen. Tomorrow, I will get married and become a side concubine in Prince Heng's mansion. Do you all know...you are alive in heaven, you must bless me, I... I still want to avenge you." Her soft voice paused for a while, and then continued to speak softly: "Sister Xue'er, you must have seen it, if it was you, you would do the same Right? I don't want to embarrass my father anymore, I want to go this way, you bless me in heaven, okay?"

All the burning paper in the basket was burnt out, and she got up after wiping away her tears.Yan Ling, who was standing by, came over and carefully covered the ashes of paper for her. She felt a lot better when she was able to say what she had been holding back for a long time.

Before she left, she quietly looked at the bright moon in the sky, a smiling face flashed in her mind, and then the boy's voice and face became clearer from her memories.

Brother Nianxiu...she lost her mind for a while.

For some reason, it originally belonged to the boy in her memory, but she suddenly thought of the person who rescued her from the carriage that day.

"Miss, it's getting late, we're going out of the pavilion tomorrow, let's go back." Yanling's soft call brought her back to her senses.

She nodded and went back to the room.
