The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 344
Today is the Lantern Festival, and the streets that have been silent for more than ten days are bustling again today.The pavements on the street put up lanterns to meet the occasion, and men and women gathered around the lights to laugh and laugh.

The owners of the two small shops on the corner of the street hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted while watching the lively scene on the street.

Boss A: "I heard that the Yongji canal is about to be dug through!"

Boss B: "That's right! From now on, the goods will be delivered to us by water, which will save more than half of the cost!"

Boss A: "That's great! If the price is lowered at that time, the business will not continue!"

Boss B: "This is thanks to our wise and mighty Majesty!"

The canal in Yongji, Ruan Zhuqi's thoughts quickly returned to the time when Ruan Wenyu was alive.It was late at night, Ruan Zhuqi couldn't sleep and wandered around in the palace, but saw the brightly lit Qinzheng Hall.Ming Emperor Ruan Wenyu was still awake, so Ruan Zhuqi slipped in.

Ruan Wenyu under the lamp was drawing something on the map of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Ruan Zhuqi couldn't understand it at the time, but he vaguely saw Ruan Wenyong connecting Yongzhou and Jeju with a line. "It's a pity that I can't be in charge now, and all the power is still in the hands of Yi Sabao. If it weren't for this, connecting these two places, my people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty would have a better life. Sigh..."

The canal, it turned out that the father wanted to dig a canal back then!What my father couldn't do, my fourth uncle has done.Destroying the Northern Qi, swallowing the Southern Chen, and eliminating the Turks, step by step, were all imagined by Ming Emperor Ruan Wenyu.

"Mother, I want to eat candied haws!" A milk doll's voice came, and Ruan Zhuqi looked around, only to see a couple with a pair of children in front of a vendor selling candied haws.

"I want it too! I want it too!" Seeing her brother speak up, the little girl hurriedly asked her parents for it.

"Buy, buy, buy, one bunch per person!" Without hesitation, the father took out a copper coin and handed it to the candied haws seller.

"Look at how much you spoil the children! They are all spoiled!" Although the mother-in-law said a few words, she looked at the satisfied smiles on the faces of the two children dotingly.

"So what? Now that we have the ability to satisfy the children, why should we let the children be aggrieved? When I was young, I wanted to eat candied haws, but I could only share a bunch with my brothers. I don't want my children Live the same way as me! Our life now is much better than it was six years ago!"

……

The laughter in my ears got farther and farther away, and Ruan Zhuqi had already reached the gate of Weiyang Palace in a daze. "Princess? Your Majesty! Your Highness is coming!" He Quan shouted joyfully and ran inward when he saw Ruan Zhuqi.

In the hall, Ruan Wenyong hurried out upon hearing the words, and smirked for a while when he saw Ruan Zhuqi. "The year is almost over, you can be considered home!" Ruan Wenyong stepped forward and grabbed the stiff Ruan Zhuqi, and brought her into the hall.

"It's cold, look at you, your hands are stiff." Ruan Wenyong said while taking Mrs. Tang into Ruan Zhuqi's arms.Ruan Wenyongming's yellow dragon robe, the cuffs obviously have a different color.Ruan Zhuqi glanced at it, and it should have been dyed when making lanterns.

"What is this?" Ruan Wenyong looked at the blood stains on Ruan Zhuqi's dress with some panic on his face, "What happened? Are you injured?" Ruan Wenyong wanted to check whether Ruan Zhuqi had any injuries, but was grabbed by Ruan Zhuqi push away.

Ruan Zhuqi glanced at the blood on her body lightly, and said, "On the way into the palace, I met a vicious dog blocking the way, kill it."

Hearing this, Ruan Wenyong frowned slightly, thinking that Ruan Zhuqi's current behavior was that he was losing his temper when he met a vicious dog and lost face in a fight, so he turned his face and told He Quan, "Draft an order immediately." , From now on, dogs are not allowed in Chang'an City! Especially around the Princess's mansion, the houses that raise dogs must be cleaned up within three days!"

He Quan led the order to retreat, Ruan Wenyong calmed down, stroked Ruan Zhuqi's hair, and said, "It's all right, fourth uncle is here! Be good, let fourth uncle see, are you hurt? "

Ruan Zhuqi repeatedly avoided Ruan Wenyong, clenched the dagger unconsciously, and said, "I told you, I'm not hurt! It's just a vicious dog. I passed through the battlefield where the two armies fought so many times and I'm still alive. What's the matter now!"

"Don't make trouble," Ruan Wenyong twitched when he heard the words, Ruan Zhuqi never thought of resisting him like this today, "Fourth Uncle, just take a look, you are always hurt and refuse to say it, Fourth Uncle is worried."

Ruan Wenyong took another step closer to Ruan Zhuqi, but Ruan Zhuqi immediately jumped two feet away like a frightened cat.Ruan Wenyong felt very uncomfortable. He thought that the reason why Ruan Zhuqi was like this was not only because she was frightened a little today, but also because of what happened last time.Gao Wei!Ruan Wenyong gritted his teeth in hatred.

Ruan Zhuqi tried to calm down, and said indifferently: "I'm hungry, I want to eat Yuanxiao."

Ruan Wenyong was stunned for a long time, and he was slightly relieved when he heard this sentence, his face immediately filled with a trace of joy, and said: "Yes, I have always prepared it for you! He Quan!"

"Wait!" He Quan heard Ruan Wenyong's call and was about to run in when he heard Ruan Zhuqi's voice stopping him. "I don't want to eat what they make, I want to eat what my fourth uncle makes." Ruan Zhuqi looked straight at Ruan Wenyong with a firm light in his eyes.

Ruan Wenyong's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Why do you want to eat fourth uncle's? Don't you always dislike fourth uncle's Lantern Festival?"

Ruan Zhuqi smiled slightly, and said: "Last night, I dreamed of my aunt. She made food for Xu'er, but after waking up, there was nothing. The fourth uncle is Xu'er's only relative, and today Xu'er only wants to eat the Lantern Festival made by her relatives. Four Uncle will not disagree, right?"

"Naturally," Ruan Wenyong nodded Ruan Zhuqi's forehead with a smile, and said, "Since when did Fourth Uncle follow your wishes? You know how to torment Fourth Uncle!"

There was a smile on Ruan Zhuqi's face, but the smile couldn't seep into his eyes. "Fourth Uncle can tell you in advance that the cooking will not taste good, don't complain bitterly! Also, Fourth Uncle cooks very slowly. If you want to eat, you will be very hungry, so ask He Quan to make some snacks first." Come lay the groundwork."

"Fourth uncle, hurry up, Xu'er is waiting here." Ruan Zhuqi couldn't help urging.

The waiting time passed for a very long time, Ruan Zhuqi stared at the red candle in the hall half burnt, and finally saw Ruan Wenyong bring in a bowl of something disheveled.This time was obviously much better than the last time, Ruan Wenyong didn't look very distressed except for a little blackened face and some white flour on his body.

Ruan Wenyong wiped the ashes from his face, and he was ready to show off to Ruan Zhuqi, but he swallowed it back as soon as Ruan Zhuqi opened his mouth. "Why isn't it black? I remember that fourth uncle made all black last time, so this time he looks white." The tone of Ruan Zhuqi's words is unpredictable.

Ruan Wenyong's face was stiff for a while, and he explained: "After you were disgusted by you last time, Fourth Uncle learned it seriously."

"Oh." Ruan Zhuqi replied blankly, scooped up a Lantern Festival and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Be careful!" Ruan Wenyong hadn't finished speaking, Ruan Zhuqi had already closed his mouth, with a painful expression on his face.Ruan Wenyong quickly brought a glass of cold water, and said, "Spit it out, drink some cold water!"

Ruan Zhuqi pulled a stiff smile from the corner of her mouth, biting the hot Lantern Festival with her teeth.Her tongue was already numb from the heat, but Ruan Zhuqi still tasted the sweetness of the stuffing.Tears ooze out from the eye sockets at once, sweet!It's sweet!

"Silly girl, spit it out!" Ruan Wenyong became anxious, and reached out to pry Ruan Zhuqi's mouth open.

Ruan Zhuqi turned her face away, quickly swallowed what was in her mouth, and said with a sob, "You said, I'm not allowed to spit out what you made."

Ruan Wenyong was shocked when he heard the words, and an ominous premonition gradually rose in his heart: "What did you say?"

"Sweet, it's sweet. The last time my fourth uncle made it was bitter." Ruan Zhuqi tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see Ruan Wenyong's expression clearly, but her vision was quickly blurred by the gushing tears .

Ruan Wenyong was stiff all over, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak.

"Why doesn't Fourth Uncle say anything? Doesn't Fourth Uncle have anything to tell me?" Ruan Zhuqi's heart sank completely. She knew that Ruan Wenyong's silence meant that there was something wrong, and he admitted it.

"Since you asked, it must be Liu Wenyu who told you something. Since you believed Liu Wenyu, why should I deny it?" Ruan Wenyong passed the water glass in his hand to Ruan Zhuqi, "It's hot Alright, drink some cold water, and call the imperial doctor later."

Ruan Zhuqi slammed Ruan Wenyong's hand, the teacup fell to the ground with a bang, and the dagger came out of its sheath with a "swish" and landed on Ruan Wenyong's neck.

"I'll ask you again, is there anything you want to tell me?" Ruan Zhuqi tried hard to restrain her tears, but couldn't stop.

When He Quan heard the movement, he ran in immediately, and when he saw this scene, he was overwhelmed with fright. "Princess, don't be fooled!"

"Shut up!" Ruan Wenyong shouted coldly, He Quan immediately fell silent, and stared at Ruan Zhuqi's movement with wide eyes without blinking.

"Get the jade seal! Immediately!" Ruan Wenyong yelled again, and He Quan immediately scrambled and brought the jade seal over.

"In Xianbei, there is no rule that women cannot be kings. You are the only daughter of the eldest brother, and the second brother and the third have no children. Now I have no heirs except for the child in Liu Ying's belly. You just need to put the crime of regicide on On Liu Ying, someone will support you to ascend the throne." Ruan Wenyong kept thinking about Ruan Zhuqi's future.

"Do you think that everyone, like you, is going crazy over this crap?" Ruan Zhuqi grabbed the jade seal and threw it far away.

"You always refuse to listen to my uncle. If you don't do what my uncle said this time, who can save your life?" Ruan Wenyong sighed, "It would be safer if my uncle wrote a will now. .”

"Ha...haha..." Ruan Zhuqi laughed with tears in her eyes, and said sneeringly, "Ruan Wenyong, anything you do now will only make me feel sick. Killing my father, you think it will be doubled?" Can you atone for being nice to me?"

"I never thought about redemption, and I never felt guilty. I treat you well only because I promised you that I will only love Xu'er in my life." Ruan Wenyong smiled slightly, "I What I said, what I promise you, will never change for the rest of my life."
