From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 838

"Well, since it's not a short-term thing, don't think about it too much. The wedding date is set on the eighth day of next month. During this time, you can be my bride with peace of mind." Although she didn't know what happened The incident made her suddenly want to leave Beijing, but she knew that she had worked hard these past few years, and wanted her to take this opportunity to take a good rest.

With her head buried in his arms, she felt at ease and relaxed for no reason, and Mei Xin said lightly: "I see, isn't there a custom in the capital that men and women cannot see each other after engagement and before their wedding? When are you planning to return to your home?"

After the competition, he went home, took a shower and changed his clothes, and then he never went back. People from the Hou Mansion brought his changed clothes, and they now occupied her room.

Not wanting to leave, and not wanting to be separated from her and the children for a moment, Zongzheng Mingzhen hugged her hand tightly and said: "I have already sent someone to pick up my mother. It will take five or six days to arrive by water. When mother arrives, I will be there." Guopin. Although there is such a custom in the capital, I have already made up my mind that I will leave the day before Guopin, and I will come back in the evening, and I will not go home until the day before the big wedding."

Anyway, the Princess Mansion is hers, guarded by soldiers inside and outside, and all of them belong to her, I believe no one will talk too much and go outside to yell.

With a puff, Mei Xin laughed, raised her head to look at him and said, "How old are you and you are still so childish, isn't it only a dozen or 20 days, just bear it and pass."

I have been waiting for two years, not to mention these ten days, not to mention that they will never be separated again in the days to come, not less than these ten days.

With a broken face, Zongzheng Mingzhen became depressed and protested: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it for a day, I want to be with you and the children, I want to see you all the time. Xin'er, don't you miss me, you Don't you want to see me every day?"

Every time he faced her calmness, he had to use up all his strength to restrain himself from thinking too much, but he was still a little disappointed, and always felt that she didn't need him.

Mei Xin knows that she is not a person who is good at expressing emotions, and this is also related to her growth experience.So, she immediately replied: "Yes, why don't you want to? If you don't want to, can I hand over the booklet to handle government affairs at home? You haven't gone out for the past two days. I don't know how people outside are talking and laughing at me, saying that I am greedy for beauty. color, fell into the gentle village, and never went to the morning court."

Originally, having a child out of wedlock was discussed by others, but now it's all right, it directly pushed her to the forefront, and it is estimated that it has spread all over the country.

Hearing Zichen's report yesterday, Zongzheng Mingzhen thought it was pretty good, and said triumphantly with a smile like a flower: "So I have to thank myself for having a good-looking face. The bewildered major generals are so busy that they can't even go to the morning court."

Pretending to be serious and looking at him, Mei Xin nodded thoughtfully and said: "Well, yes, she is a beautiful woman."

Zongzheng Mingzhen smiled, and stretched out his hand to tickle her. The two of them got into a mess, not to mention how happy they were.

At night, when the moon was in full swing, Mei Jinze personally led people to surround the inner courtyard of the East Palace.First, all the servants around the princess were arrested, and then they were tied up and interrogated one by one. Soon, Cheng Sichu was pulled out.

Looking at Cheng Sichu, who was completely different from an old man, Mei Jinze's face was very ugly. After looking for her for two years, she never thought that she was hiding under his nose and causing trouble in his house.

Burning with anger, her face was so gloomy that water dripped out, Mei Jinze ordered: "Take her to the dungeon and let her speak."

The family ugliness cannot be publicized and it is related to his wife. He cannot be sent to Jing Zhaoyin or the Ministry of punishment. He can only be interrogated and tortured in private until she speaks.

Due to the ruined appearance, his hoarse voice was completely different from before, and he was a different person, Cheng Sichu never thought that he would be discovered so soon.Shouting for injustice, he hurriedly called the princess, trying to get away with it, but the princess' legs gave way and she fainted from fright.

"Take it down, let her speak before dawn." Mei Jinze's face was frosty and his voice was like winter snow. After finishing speaking, Mei Jinze walked up to the princess and took a look.Knowing that she was not completely being used by others, and he had long been dissatisfied with his sister Mei Xin and two nephews, he said coldly: "Master is confused, and the people around him don't know how to persuade me, let alone come and tell me. Eat inside and crawl outside, and kill them all."

Herring took the order, and Mei Jinze looked at Doukou again and asked, "Have you picked out the people I asked you to pick this afternoon?"

Cardamom saluted and replied: "Yes, a total of thirteen palace attendants and two nuns are already waiting outside the courtyard."

Nodding to express her satisfaction, Mei Jinze said: "The Crown Princess is ill and needs to recuperate. Without my order, no one is allowed to disturb her. You will lead someone to watch it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he waved his big sleeve and left.

Knowing clearly that this is to put the Crown Princess under house arrest, Dou Kou called someone in with a blank expression, then carried the Crown Princess back to the house.

The next day, before dawn, Cheng Sichu, who couldn't stand the torture, opened his mouth, and didn't do anything to prevent her from grabbing and biting Mei Jinze indiscriminately.On the contrary, he only started to make a big move after investigating the evidence one by one. In this big move, he ransacked the homes of several courtiers, implicated the nine clans, and killed hundreds of people in one day.

The Mei family's reputation has always been loyal, and they have never killed anyone since they proclaimed themselves emperor. This thunderous anger made the court uneasy, and even Mei Xin, who was nestled at home, was alarmed.

Knowing that my brother would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, Mei Xin said after listening to Dou Kou's report: "Kill one to warn others, big brother has done a good job, but I didn't call you here today to ask about this, but to ask about yours. Lifetime event. You are not young anymore. Yunluo's son is one year old, Luoqiu is about to give birth, and Sanniang also got married at the end of last year. You are the only one left now. Tell me What's on your mind?"

Feichen had been waiting for her, and the two had been working together in Liangzhou, but for some reason she never let go.

When mentioning the important matter of her marriage, Dou Kou silently lowered her head, not knowing how to tell Mei Xin, she fell silent.

After Mei Xin received Feichen's letter, she felt that there was something wrong, but she really guessed it right.Frowning with worry in his heart, he took a few steps to Dou Kou, pulled her to sit down and said, "It's my fault, you left you in the barracks when you said you wanted to be a general, but now..."

Shaking her head violently, Cardamom said: "No, it has nothing to do with the major general, it's my own problem, I don't want to marry."

Mei Xin knew it was a lie as soon as she heard it, she had accepted Fei Chen at the beginning, but she didn't know what conflict between the two had caused her to change her mind.

Seeing that Mei Xin didn't believe it, Dou Kou said again: "Really, I don't want to marry, I don't want to in my whole life, Major General, don't worry about me, I'm fine on my own."
