Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 359 On the eve of the wedding, the storm

Ying stood aside, listening to the report from the dark guard.The facial paralyzed face also twitched involuntarily, the future mistress seemed a little unreliable.

Chu Mohan put the secret letter in his hand on the table, and he raised his head.A flash of determination flashed across his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.The voice was low and clear, and he spoke slowly.

"Go back and continue to protect the princess."

The dark guard clasped his fists, saluted and disappeared into the study.

"Master, it's getting late. Let's rest first."

Shadow opened his mouth slowly after the dark guard left.He knew that the matter in the secret letter made the master feel bad, but in a few days, the master will get married.It's not too late to deal with those restless people after the master gets married.

"Well, you go and inform Ziyi and the others. Move ahead, I don't want any troubles to arise when I get married."

Chu Mohan put the secret letter on the candlelight, and the secret letter was instantly reduced to ashes.

Ying opened his mouth, and finally just responded in a low voice: "Yes, this subordinate knows what to do."

Chu Mohan nodded in satisfaction, and he turned to look out the window.In the dark night sky, dark clouds cover the bright moon.Only the hazy moonlight shines through. It seems that tomorrow will be a cloudy and rainy day.

The sound of dripping raindrops hitting the eaves woke Shen Wanyu up.In the hot summer, it is rare to usher in a not-so-small rain.

The room, which was originally very hot, became much cooler in an instant.It's just that there is also a shortcoming, which is a little stuffy and makes people feel a little depressed.

The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Yushui and Qiuzhu walked in.Seeing that Shen Wanyu had already sat up, but there was still a faint sleepiness in her eyes.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Shen Wanyu rubbed her eyes, opened the quilt and was about to get out of bed with bare feet.Qiuzhu immediately walked over and put the shoes at her feet.Then the cloak that was passed aside was put on her body.

"When did it rain?"

Qiuzhu asked the little maid to bring Shen Wanyu's breakfast, and waited for her to wash and change before speaking.

"It started to rain last night. It has been raining all night and it doesn't seem to stop."

Shen Wanyu walked to the window and pushed the closed window open.A gust of cold wind blew towards her face, which lifted her spirits.The air is filled with the smell of earth, revealing a subdued atmosphere.

I don't know why, but there is always some uneasiness in her heart.The eyelids kept twitching, and for some reason, I always felt a little panic in my heart.

"What's going on in the mansion today? Second Miss and Second Aunt didn't make any moves, right?"

She frowned slightly, looking at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier outside the window.

"Miss, the humidity in the morning is very heavy. It is better to close the windows. There is still no movement between the second aunt and the second lady. The second aunt has been locked in the room. The second lady is the same, and occasionally goes to the palace to greet the queen mother and the queen. .It’s just that she never visited Second Aunt.”

Qiuzhu helped Shen Wanyu to the table, and the little maid just happened to bring the breakfast.Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Shen Wanyu also felt a little hungry.She picked up the leftover porridge that Qiuzhu gave her, and ate it in small bites.

It's just that because I have something on my mind, I put down my chopsticks after taking a few bites hastily.

This Shen Wanqing has begged for Zhen Zhaoyi in the palace, how could she not go to see her mother.Although Shen Wanqing is not very good, she is filial to her mother.But now she doesn't even look at it, there must be some reason for this.

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, tapping the smooth table with her fingers.After thinking for a long time, I opened my mouth.

"Second Aunt and Second Miss, let someone keep watching."

After the last lesson, the second aunt and the second younger sister would probably be more cautious than before.

"Go, accompany me to grandma's place."

Shen Wanyu stood up, and Qiuzhu immediately put the cloak on her body again.Then he went to fetch the umbrella, and accompanied Shen Wanyu to An Lu Yuan.

Arriving at Anlu Courtyard, Shen Wanyu was immediately welcomed in by Nanny Shen.In the warm pavilion, the old lady was holding and teasing Xiao Yuxuan.

"Wanyu is here?"

Yun Manrou raised her head, just in time to see Shen Wanyu walking in.Smiling softly, he beckoned to her and asked her to sit beside him.

Shen Wanyu took off the cloak on her body, and walked over after taking off the cold air on her body.

"Grandmother, mother."

"Come on, have a look. This is your dowry list, see if you need anything else, and then I will buy it for you."

Yun Manrou handed the list to Shen Wanyu, looking at her increasingly beautiful daughter.I sigh in my heart, my daughter is now 15 years old.Seeing that they are about to get married, and they will be mothers in two years.

Seeing his eldest daughter, he couldn't help but think of his youngest daughter who was taken away shortly after she was born and whereabouts are unknown.Her eyes dimmed slightly, and there was a flash of pain in her eyes.

"Mother, these are enough. There is no need to buy any more."

The dowry is a full 120 liters, which is already considered generous for a young lady from the Hou Mansion.Even when the princess gets married, that's all.This is just the dowry prepared by the Hou's Mansion, and it is even more generous added by the emperor and concubines in the palace.

Thinking about it, her wedding this time might be extremely grand and grand.

She sighed, looking at the sadness in her mother's eyes just now.I knew she must have thought of her little sister, but where did the second prince hide the little sister.Even the father and the evildoer couldn't be found.

Shen Wanyu took a deep breath, and when she raised her head again, a slight smile appeared on her face.She handed over the list in her hand and spoke softly.

"My daughter's wedding will be taken care of by her mother and grandmother, so Wanyu is naturally relieved."

"Yah! Ya!"

Xiao Yuxuan, who was originally in the arms of the old lady, suddenly made a grandma's voice, waving her plump little arms in the air.Waving towards Shen Wanyu, her small body also exerted force in Shen Wanyu's direction.

Shen Wanyu looked at that beautiful little milk baby, and her heart softened.He quickly reached out and hugged the soft little milk baby into his arms.The milky fragrance that belongs to children instantly filled his nostrils.

"Our little Yuxuan seems to like her big sister the most. Look at you, my grandmother will step aside when you come."

The old lady couldn't recognize her jealousy when she looked at her eldest grandson, acting coquettishly and cutely in her granddaughter's arms.

Shen Wanyu lowered her head and looked at the silly little milk baby who was stalking her all the time, and she instantly became cute.This cute look is even worse than Nan Jing.

"Hehe, that's right. Does Xiao Yuxuan like her sister the most?"

Shen Wanyu kissed the soft cheek of the little milk baby, which caused the little milk baby to giggle.As if responding to her words, he turned his head and kissed Shen Wanyu's face.

Shen Wanyu looked at this one-year-old baby in surprise, and looked at those big bright eyes with a smile.The child seemed to be so smart that he could understand everything they said.Sometimes she wondered if there was a soul from time-traveling living in this child.

But looking at the child's grandma's silly smile, he immediately pulled his thoughts out of his mind.

Seeing that the little milk baby is much fatter than before, but the little face is a little pale.Thinking of the Gu poison on his body, my heart is full of pity.Such a big child has to suffer so much pain.

"Look, Xiao Yuxuan likes me the most."

Shen Wanyu spoke arrogantly, and after she finished speaking, she kissed Xiao Yuxuan twice on the face.

Shen Wanyu was chatting with the old lady and Yun Manrou, when a little maid hurried in.With panic on his face, he knelt on the ground immediately after entering the room.

"Why are you so reckless, girl? How decent is she?"

Seeing the maidservant being so reckless, Shen Momo scolded with a serious expression.

The maid trembled when she heard the words, Shen Wanyu frowned slightly when she saw this.This little maid is a second-class maid in the grandmother's yard, and she is stable on weekdays.There must be something wrong with being so reckless today.

"Why are you so flustered, is there something wrong?"

When the maid heard Shen Wanyu's words, she immediately raised her head and gave her a grateful look.Then he quickly opened his mouth and said.

"Just now the news came from the bodyguard next to Lord Hou. When the master was accompanying the supervisor to build the stage for the competition, he was hit by a falling wooden stake too much, and he is still unconscious. The emperor sent a message to let the lady enter the palace. The carriage sent by the palace is waiting outside the door."

Hearing what the little maid said, the old lady dropped the teacup to the ground with a bang.It shattered into several pieces in an instant, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

"Is Lord Hou serious?"

The old lady's complexion changed, and she asked in a hurry.Wan Yu will get married in a few days, how could something happen at this time.

"Grandmother, don't worry. I will enter the palace right away, and nothing will happen to Daddy."

Shen Wanyu looked at the pale-faced grandmother and mother, and quickly comforted her: "You still don't believe me, I will enter the palace now. If there is any news, I will ask Qiu Zhu to come back and inform you."

"Okay, okay, go to the palace quickly."

After the old lady panicked, her sanity returned.She knew that her granddaughter's medical skills were incomparable to that of Doctor Zhang of the Imperial Hospital, and she would be fine with Lord Hou.

Shen Wanyu nodded, put on her cloak and went back to her yard to get her things, then hurriedly followed the people from the palace into the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Wanyu looked at Yushui and Qiuzhu beside her.She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes became darker.

When I was at home, I suddenly heard that something happened to my father.She also became nervous for a while, now thinking about it.I always feel that there is something strange in it, if it was just hit by a fallen wooden stake.The imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital can cure it, not to mention the presence of Imperial Doctor Zhang.

She heard the sound of pattering rain coming from outside, such a heavy rainy day.It seems that the project of building the competition platform should be stopped. Since it stopped, how could my father have an accident while supervising the work.

"Maybe, we fell into someone else's design."
