Splendid Book

Chapter 141
This day is Qiqiao Festival. Although it is not a big festival, many girls have been looking forward to it for a long time.Even the princesses in the palace were not surprised. The third princess had just settled in April, and now the princess mansion is under renovation.She was constrained to embroider the dowry in the palace for two months, and she was already impatient.

It turned out that it was just in time for the Qiqiao Festival, so I had to talk to my sisters no matter what.

After her marriage was settled, Concubine Min sent two nuns to her palace, nominally to teach the princess how to behave.In fact, it was to keep an eye on her, so that she wouldn't be allowed to run around like a little girl anymore.

The princess in the palace has been watched by the nanny since she was a child, especially this kind of education, the nanny is very powerful and can control the princess's words and deeds.It is the third princess who is so disobedient to discipline, and dare not presumptuously in front of the foster mother.So after she had breakfast in the palace, she thought about going to Concubine Min's mansion, so that she could consult with her mother and concubine, and she was very relaxed today.

Since the princesses all lived in the east palace, she had to walk for a while to go to the palace of the mother and concubine.

It's just that not long after she walked out of the palace, a pair of guards came to meet her. They were all wearing sabers and dressed in refined attire. It seemed that something important was about to happen.

"Third Princess, the palace is under martial law, please go back to your own palace first," said the leading guard, who stepped forward to salute the Third Princess respectfully.

When the third princess was in front of the emperor and Concubine Min, she could still be considered delicate and cute.But in front of outsiders, it's not so easy to talk.Especially this team of guards, they don't know where they came from, they are actually in the harem, so unscrupulous.The third princess immediately snorted coldly, and said angrily: "This is the harem, who allows you to come and go as you please. Also, why don't I know that the palace is under martial law? Who announced the martial law? Is it the emperor? If it is really the emperor's son The decree of the emperor, you bring the imperial father's decree."

"Martial law is the emperor's word of mouth. Please forgive me, the third princess. Don't embarrass the little one. You should return to the palace earlier." The guard didn't seem to be frightened by the third princess's aura at all. Instead, he smiled lightly and simply replied her words. past.

At this time, the eunuchs and maids following behind the third princess all looked at each other in blank dismay, and even the nurturing nurse beside her, who had always claimed to be well-informed, lost her face for a moment.

The palace is under martial law, so something big must happen, but now the emperor is safe and all the ladies in the palace are safe.Anyone can see that something is wrong, but no one dares to ask.

"Asshole, you dare to talk to this princess like that," the third princess took a step forward.

But as she took a step forward, the people behind the guard all looked at her in unison, as if they could really arrest her if she dared to do anything.

"Your Highness, since the palace is under martial law, I think we'd better go back first, and don't go to see Concubine Min today," said the nurse next to the third princess, who was extraordinarily sober. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, she hurried forward to persuade said a word.

Although the third princess was unruly, she was not stupid. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, she just gave the guard a hard look.As if wanting to remember his face, before he left, he said a harsh word: "You dog slave, when I see my father, I will definitely kill you."

After speaking, she flung off her sleeves, turned around and left.

The maids and eunuchs behind her didn't dare to say anything when they saw that she had gone back. They followed her with their heads down.

When she returned to the palace, the maid who stayed in the palace asked strangely: "Didn't the princess go to the empress's palace to pay her respects, why did she come back all of a sudden?"

The third princess was sitting on the red sandalwood chair carved with Qingluan peony group, with one hand resting on the armrest, her beautiful face was full of anger.

"You bastard," suddenly she slapped the chair hard, got up again, and entered the side hall next to her.It's just that as soon as she entered the side hall, she angrily drove everyone out, leaving only the foster mother.

The two nuns around her were rewarded by Concubine Min, and they were all old people who had been with Concubine Min for more than ten years. They were originally planned to follow her to the Princess Mansion after the completion of the Princess Mansion, so The most appropriate and reliable.

As soon as the other maids were kicked out, the anger on the third princess's face dissipated, and she said anxiously, "Mother, do you think something happened to the emperor?"

When Nanny Chen saw her asking this question, she knew that what she had done just now was just creating an illusion.No matter how innocent this royal family child is, she can tell right from wrong.As soon as the third princess heard about martial law, she knew something was wrong.It's just that she deliberately said harsh words in front of the guard, but she just wanted him to see herself as a savage, ignorant and willful little princess.

"This old slave doesn't know either, but there is no major event in the palace, so who dares to impose martial law casually," although Nanny Chen didn't say it clearly, but the meaning in her words still made the third princess almost collapse on the ground.

"Mother concubine, how is mother concubine?" When the third princess thought of Concubine Min, she was even more frightened and worried.

Soon the changes in the palace were noticed.As for Concubine De, it was the third princess who had noticed earlier that people from the House of Internal Affairs and various departments should have come to her palace to report to her every day, asking her to make decisions on the affairs of the palace.

But today is the hour, but still no one has come.So Concubine De specially sent people out to have a look, but who knew that the people she sent out were driven back not far from the palace gate.

Martial law?Concubine De stood at the window, looking outside. It was the beginning of summer, the coolness of the morning was slowly evaporated by the heat wave, and the scorching sun hanging in the sky began to emit power.

As the person in charge of the harem, she doesn't know about martial law?Who exactly is in martial law.

emperor……

Concubine De couldn't help looking in the direction of Qinzheng Hall, the emperor knew about the changes in the palace.

"Third sister, where are we going?" Shen Jin was wearing coarse clothes, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her head. Even before leaving, Shen Changle smeared something on her face. Fortunately, she didn't I had time to look in the mirror, otherwise I would have been frightened to death when I saw myself like a village girl with a sallow complexion.

At this time, Shen Changle's face was also disguised, even if someone who knew her extremely well walked past her, they might not recognize her by mistake.

I saw that her head was wrapped with an indigo cloth, and her sallow complexion looked a little yellow and thin.I even touched the turmeric paste on my palm, and it was sallow all the way to my wrist.

The steward led them all the way to the back door, where a donkey cart was already waiting outside.Before getting into the car, she smelled a smell inside, and Shen Jin immediately asked in surprise: "What kind of smell is this?"

"Don't talk, get in the car," Shen Changle pulled her into the car without any explanation.

This is the donkey cart used to deliver melons, fruits and vegetables to Prince Zhao's Mansion on weekdays. At this time, the contents of the cart have been removed, leaving only empty bamboo baskets.After Shen Changle got into the car, he asked Shen Jin to get into the bamboo basket. Fortunately, the bamboo basket was big enough, and both of them were petite women, so even if they sat cross-legged in the bamboo basket, they wouldn't look too crowded.

But Shen Jin always felt that there was an indescribable smell in the donkey cart. Originally, Shen Changle took her away mysteriously, and she was full of displeasure in her heart.Seeing her let her drill into a bamboo basket again, she was extremely unwilling, and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, what happened, we want to come out so sneakily."

In fact, Shen Changle didn't know the specific situation.All she knows is that there have been changes in the palace, and now it is said that she can only enter but not exit.

Although he didn't know what happened inside, Shen Changle didn't dare to take it seriously.Because although she doesn't know whether history has advanced, everything that is happening now reminds her that history is really going to advance.What was supposed to happen three years later is about to happen.

She has some regrets, she should confess to Ji Yu.

Even if no one in this world understands her and treats her as a different kind, Ji Yu will not.Fate had brought them together since she was a child, and at that time he was able to save himself with his own life.

But it's too late to say anything now.So when Ji Yu came looking for her from the hidden position in the capital, she followed their advice without hesitation and left Prince Zhao's Mansion.

If she guessed correctly, the change in the palace was really caused by the second prince, then his next step must be to call the princes and concubines from all the prefectures into the palace in the name of the emperor's critical illness.When the time comes, everyone enters the palace unprepared, and the second prince only needs to catch a turtle in the urn, and he can take everyone down.

Ji Yu is not in the capital, although she is the only master in Prince Zhao's Mansion, there is no guarantee that the second prince will not arrest her and threaten the prince.

That's why she chose to leave immediately, even if she can't leave the capital now, she just needs to hide somewhere and wait for the chaos to subside.As for the presence of these people in Prince Zhao's Mansion, they were just servants. She believed that the Second Prince would send troops to surround Zhao Prince's Mansion at most, and would not make any big moves.

I'm afraid the troops he can mobilize are not many, and besides, he still has his confidantes such as the eldest prince in serious trouble.

That's why Shen Changle left without hesitation, but she didn't expect that things would happen today, nor did she expect that Shen Jin would suddenly come to her home.

"There is chaos in the capital, Prince Zhao's Mansion cannot stay, so we can leave as soon as we want," Shen Changle stretched out his hand to grab her arm, and pulled her into the bamboo basket.

Shen Jin was still a little reluctant, but Shen Changle knew that time was running out, so he might not be able to think about it that much.Then he said anxiously: "You go in quickly, and I will explain to you on the way."

But Shen Jin was still reluctant to get into the bamboo basket, Shen Changle was about to get angry, so she asked blankly: "Then what about father and grandmother?"

"Third Sister, let's go, what about Daddy and the others?" Shen Jin grabbed her arm and asked almost tremblingly.

Shen Changle let out a long sigh, and pressed her shoulders, as if to appease her emotions.After waiting for a while, Shen Changle sighed softly, lowered his eyes and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Dad, as long as the Shen family stays in the mansion well, nothing will happen to them."

"Then why don't we go home," Shen Jin was anxious, she didn't want to leave, she was terrified, she wanted to go home.

Shen Changle looked down at Shen Jin who was full of distress, but he didn't know how to comfort her.Shen Jin is a girl from the back house, how can she understand the dangers of the court.Now the second prince is in trouble before the emperor formally establishes the crown prince, just for that position.If the eldest prince and the others entered the palace without hesitation, they might lose their lives.

And she can't fall into the hands of the second prince, after all Ji Yu is still outside the capital, if he can rush back to rescue in time.If the second prince catches her at that time, he will definitely threaten the prince with her.So what Shen Changle needs most now is to protect herself well, she cannot fall into the hands of the second prince.

Thinking of her previous life, she was caught by the fourth prince's people, and that's why she ended up in such a miserable state.Even though Ji Yu had arrived at that time, he still couldn't save her.

The ending of the previous life was already depressing enough, so she didn't want to leave any more pain in this life.

She also thought it over clearly, as long as the Shen family stayed at home properly, the turmoil this time would only happen in the capital.Yes, there are six more, Shen Changle couldn't help but feel a little worried when he remembered that his father and the others were going to court at this time.

"Girl, it's time for the carriage to go, please sit down." A deep voice suddenly came from outside, the carriage moved forward, Shen Changle tilted his body, fortunately he held the bamboo basket beside him in time.

"Wait, what happened in my family..." Shen Changle yelled outside in a low voice.

"Please rest assured, before the prince left, he had already predicted the worst." The man said something, but after he finished speaking, Shen Changle couldn't help feeling uneasy, and on the contrary became even more worried.

In fact, she knew that it would be best for her not to return to Shen's residence.After all, if King Jin's people find out that she is not in the palace, they will definitely go to Duke Wei's mansion to search.So she can't go back, she will only drag the family down if she goes back.As for Shen Jin, she is a guest at her own house, if she is released at this time, those people will definitely not let her go, and they will definitely force her to ask her about her whereabouts.

So even though he knew it was troublesome, Shen Changle still had to take Shen Jin away with him.

It's just that she didn't have time to say these words to Shen Jin at this time.She only hoped that Shen Jin would be more sensible at this time, but when Shen Jin asked about her father and grandmother just now, her own eyes turned red for no reason.

In the previous life, her family members lived well, and her father even had the strength to argue with Ji Yu, so in this life, they will be fine.

Thinking of this, Shen Changle seemed to feel much less bored in his heart.

When the donkey cart stopped and the door curtain was raised, the deep voice sounded again: "Girl, you're home, get out of the car."

After getting off the car, Shen Changle realized that this place was not a remote place as she thought, but a very prosperous private house.At this time, there are still people coming and going on the street, and it is estimated that Jin Wang only had time to control the palace, so the people in the capital have not noticed it yet, and the sky is about to change.

Or maybe the princes hadn't entered the palace yet, and their prey hadn't fallen into the trap, so how could they show their feet at this time.

Shen Changle couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, it seems that the prince's influence in the palace is far greater than she thought.

There is a change in the palace, and his people can get the news immediately and take him away.

After they entered the yard, they saw a woman stepping forward and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, you finally brought your natal sister back."

"Mother, let's talk after we go in, my sister-in-law has also worked hard all the way," the man next to him with a low voice changed his low voice at this moment, and his tone was relaxed and cheerful, and they entered the yard while talking.

At this time, when the middle-aged woman was closing the door, a neighbor happened to come back, took a look, and said hello, "Fifth Aunt, your daughter-in-law is back."

"That's right, I just came back from my mother's house." The fifth aunt stood at the door again, had a conversation with the neighbor, and then closed the door and came in.

When she closed the door and returned to the room, she knelt down in front of Shen Changle and said respectfully: "I have seen Wangfei."

Listening to what she said just now, Shen Changle guessed that she should indeed have a daughter-in-law, but she just returned to her natal family recently.

So, did he arrange all this?

She felt hot in her heart, "My lord..."

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to ask, instead he looked to the side, with faint tears flickering.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry, the prince is already on his way back to the capital, and will return to the capital soon."

Shen Changle nodded, but his heart was extremely heavy.

She couldn't help but think of the eldest concubine and Ji Zerui. When she thought about the ending of that child, she hoped that Ji Yu would come back soon.

Although everyone has his own destiny, wealth depends on the sky.

But she always had extravagant hopes, and only hoped that this life would have a different ending.
