From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 286
When I was at home, I still felt that I had many ways to go, as long as I could escape, I would definitely be able to make a difference.But after Guan's sarcasm, she suddenly found that she had nowhere to go, and now King Huai of Chu has undoubtedly become her only life-saving straw. Not to mention her feet, she might die a miserable death.

At the age of six or seven, Cheng Sichu began to learn embroidery from her embroiderer mother, so it was no problem for her to be a female celebrity.But she is the biological daughter of King Huai of Chu, so how can she sell the things she embroiders.What's more, if this man bought it, wouldn't it ruin her boudoir reputation?

Feeling that her mother must be confused, Cheng Sichu said: "Ten fingers don't touch the spring water. My mother told me that hands are a woman's second face since I was a child. I must protect them. How can I do those rough jobs. Besides, I have reached the age of marriage. If I break my hand, how can I see people in the future. If my husband doesn’t like it or feels disgusted by it, it’s not worth the loss. Doesn’t my mother often say that she cooks very well? Well, let's make it mother. Just right, father and king have always liked all kinds of cakes made by mother, and I also like to eat them, so mother can make cakes in different ways every day."

Ignoring Shangguan Xinrou's murderous eyes, Cheng Sichu felt that this idea was very good.Washing clothes and cooking are things that a poor woman would do, and she, a rich young lady, would not do it.

She was very hungry, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes was really tempting. She couldn't bear it, so she lowered her head and reached out to take a piece of baked golden steamed bun.Taking a bite that burned his tongue, Cheng Sichu quickly put it on the handkerchief to catch it, and then began to eat in small mouthfuls.

Looking at the smile on his daughter's face and listening to her natural tone, Shangguan Xinrou felt as if he was lifting a rock to hit himself in the foot.I used to think that my daughter is very good and everything is good, but now I find that I have really spoiled her.

She makes pastries in different ways every day. She thinks pastries are so easy to make.I don't have the money to buy a steamed bun and want to eat pastries every day. I really don't know whether to say that she is ignorant or just didn't understand what she meant.

Uncomfortable but speechless, Shangguan Xinrou gave her a hard look and then looked away.With a gurgling sound in her stomach, she picked up the baked steamed buns and slowly ate them.

Soon, Lao Liu came over, walked up to the two of them and said, "Madam, please drink tea!"

Lifting the kettle and pouring boiling water into the bowl, Lao Liu explained, "There is usually no one at home, and there is no good tea, Madam, let's just drink it."

After all, it is a servant of Prince Chuhuai's mansion, it is inappropriate to call Shangguan Xinrou Princess, after much deliberation, Lao Liu still changed her name.

After running against the cold wind, Guan Xinrou was already thirsty, so she directly picked up the bowl and said, "What's the situation in the palace now, what does the Empress Dowager say?"

King Huai of Chu's biggest backer is the Empress Dowager, if she doesn't help him, it will be troublesome.

Lao Liu inquired about the situation in the palace in the afternoon, and he was very clear about it, but now he didn't know how to tell her.Weiyu sighed first, withdrew his pouring hand and put the kettle on the ground. He went to the brazier to turn over the sweet potatoes, and replied as he turned over, "The Empress Dowager always loves the prince, so naturally she will do her best to protect it. It's just that the Liangzhou victory, Liangzhou The prince was seriously injured and unconscious, and the emperor had to deal with it severely. The Mei family is a loyal minister and good general. If the prince is not punished because he is a royal family, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the border guards. Therefore, Madam, don't worry, Yi Shizi Lord speculates that the emperor should just lock him up to appease public anger, and he will be released in a few days."

It was not the speculation of the son of King Huai of Chu, but that of King Huai of Chu's staff.It's not a random guess, it's a guess based on the emperor's temperament and how he dealt with the prince's usual mischief.

It stands to reason that Shangguan Xinrou should be happy to hear this, but she doesn't know why she is very disturbed.Especially "not being serious will chill the hearts of border soldiers", she was even more apprehensive and apprehensive.

No matter how you say it, King Huai of Chu is also the younger brother of the emperor, a compatriot of the same mother, not to mention the queen mother is protecting him, so she will not kill him.But what about her?
The Shangguan family used to have some power, especially when her father Shangguan Zhe was still an official in the court, but that was the past after all.Even if peaches and plums are all over the world now, they have no power, no power and only a false name.

After moving to Prince Liang's mansion and wearing a green hat for decades, Mei Zhannan would never let her go.In order to appease his anger, the emperor even put his own brother in jail, so what about her?
Will the emperor convict her or put her to death directly, or also arrest her in prison?
This realization shocked her, terrified her, and made the hairs on her entire back stand on end.Thinking carefully, she looked at Lao Liu subconsciously in fear, and saw that there was sympathy and pity in his eyes, and she suddenly realized that she had come to the wrong place.

Standing up suddenly, she noticed some black spots in the bowl, she was stunned and froze.At this time, Lao Liu opened his mouth again, only to hear him say: "I heard from people in the palace that Prince Liang is back, and he is now in the palace..."

The bowl shattered with a bang, and it fell to the ground and fell to pieces very loudly.Shangguan Xinrou panicked, and blurted out: "What are you talking about, Mei Zhannan is back? No, it's impossible, isn't he seriously injured and dying, why is he in the palace?"

Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, not to mention that he is the general who is stationed in Liangzhou and cannot return to Beijing without summons, let alone that he is seriously injured and it is impossible to return to Beijing.

Old Liu was also very strange, because the news that King Huai of Chu had received before was that Mei Zhannan was seriously injured and comatose, and there was no cure for it.Therefore, when he heard the news, he was also taken aback.However, he has repeatedly confirmed that the news is true: "Not many people know about this matter, and the eyeliner in the palace also accidentally inquired about it. It is true that he was seriously injured, but it is said that after the full treatment of the imperial physicians, he Wake up now."

The room was leaking when Lian Yeyu Shangguan Xinrou didn't hesitate any longer, grabbed Cheng Sichu's hand to get the roasted sweet potatoes, grabbed the package on the ground and said, "Go, let's go, let's get out of here."

The emperor has been jealous of the Mei family for a long time, instead of taking advantage of Mei Zhannan's serious injury, he tried his best to treat him, which is very abnormal and strange.And since he wanted him to live, it would never be good for her to steal someone.Obviously, the emperor is on his side.

King Huai of Chu was arrested and couldn't take care of himself. If she didn't want to die, she had to hide quickly.The Shangguan family couldn't protect her, so they could only go out of the city and hide in a place where no one knew her.

One might as well be dragged to the ground, Cheng Sichu's face turned green from the fall, and he asked like a frightened bird: "Go, where are you going? I haven't eaten enough yet, even if I want to leave, I have to bring food with me."

　It's not easy to be a mistress, and it's easy to be beaten.
