Zhu Buzhan was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, with a stern expression on his face, and kept touching a small wooden figure in his sleeve. Sunlight filtered through the undulating curtains, making the person's face half-dark.
Last night, Wu Gen had explained to him the plans of Zhao Linge and others, and asked him not to be soft-hearted and to use his contacts in the court for many years to fight back resolutely. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to protect himself, but Zhu Qianhua of Guiyuan Sect would also be in danger. It's dangerous.
During the conversation, Wu Gen took off his shirt, and scars like earthworms covered his chest and back. These were left by lightning strikes and have not completely faded. After learning that it was the second prince Zhao Linge who sent someone to do it, Zhu Buzhan finally made up his mind and acted separately from Wu Gen.
After Wu Gen left, Zhu Buzhan took a carriage and went straight to Zhaoxuansi, and did not come out until two hours later. Then he went to the eldest prince's residence, but he only stayed for less than half an hour before leaving, and then headed to Taichang Temple.
In this way, the carriage shuttled back and forth in Fuli City, either to the official office or to the private residence, and went to more than a dozen places in succession. Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the palace.
Looking at the majestic palace wall and the soldiers constantly patrolling the wall, Zhu Buzhan turned to look in the direction of Dusu Mountain and murmured, "Jun'er, don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt our daughter. . I really think that I, Zhu Buzhan, am a piece of cake. A gentleman can bully me, but that does not mean that a scholar can be slaughtered."
The eldest princess Zhao Rong sat in the car angrily and walked along the long corridor towards the outside of the palace. Thanks to her daily maintenance, even though she is already in her forties, her skin still looks firm and there is not a single wrinkle on her forehead, as if she was in her early thirties.
At this time, the eyebrows on his smooth forehead were frowning, and both things going into the palace today were unsatisfactory.
One is to inquire about the establishment of the crown prince from his mother. She has said a lot of good things about Zhao Linge overtly and covertly, but the old lady refuses to say anything and keeps her from getting involved in these things. People say that the royal family is affectionate, and it is true. The eldest princess is also named Zhao, so why can't she just say a few words.
The other thing is to ask the emperor for some life-extending medicine. I heard that that idiot Rong Xi and Wu Gen had already paid tribute to the magic medicine, but the emperor always talked about it without any intention of sharing the profit.
When she thought about this, Zhao Rong lamented in her heart. People say that women in their forties are like scum. What woman doesn't want to stay young forever? Seeing that she may be old and withered, and her pearls will turn yellow when she is old, she feels infinite fear in her heart.
Zhao Ye, the dog emperor, you sit on the throne and get nothing, but your sister is so stingy when she asks for some medicine. In this case, don't blame the elder sister for being rude.
Well, isn't that Zhu Buzhan? Why did he enter the palace? You get angry when you see this man's serious look. Just wait, wait for the secret lurking in Zhao Linchen's house to report, and let's see how proud you Zhu Buzhan is. A bad teacher will be dragged to the sky all day long.
With a lot of resentment, Zhao Rong left the palace and returned to her mansion before she remembered that her husband Rongkui was not in the mansion these days and had gone out to inspect the secret treasury of the young master's mansion. Since I married this man, everything has gone well, but I haven't been able to give birth to a son or a daughter, which has become a heartache.
Since he can't give birth to a child, other women can't give birth to him either. This is his own inverse situation. If he, Rongkui, dares to get involved with other women, huh, it will make him look good.
After secretly venting a few words, Zhao Rong had nothing to do, so she asked her servants to set up a guard of honor and went to Lishan Mountain in the north of the city. There was her villa there. There was a hot spring specially enclosed in the courtyard. She happened to have nothing to do recently, so she might as well borrow it. Hot spring bath and beauty treatment.
Zhao Rong stayed in the other courtyard for five or six days before returning to the capital with satisfaction.
Walking on the road, Zhao Rong lay comfortably on her side in the car. This car made by Jiang Ji Automobile Shop is very comfortable. She has a large frame and inherited the Zhao family's strong figure. Sitting in an ordinary car is always a bit uncomfortable.
This car was custom-made from Jiang Ji's car dealership. It was built to suit my body shape. I heard it cost ten thousand taels of silver. The reason why I heard about it is because this car was originally given by a car dealer, so I naturally don’t know its true value.
Rong Kui would also use some when he didn't need them on weekdays. After all, he often went to some secret warehouses in the Shaofu, and the journey was long and tiring. The cabin of this car is spacious. You can lie down and relax when you are tired.
Looking at the spacious carriage, Zhao Rong felt a little unhappy. In the past, Rong Kui often walked with him, and this carriage also witnessed their charming past. However, as his youth gradually faded over the years, Rong Kui used his physical condition as an excuse to sleep in the same quilt much less often, and there was some tension between the couple.
Depressed, Zhao Rong flipped through a pile of books on the table. These books all belonged to Rong Kui, and she didn't even look at them on weekdays.
When I was bored, a crimson corner suddenly appeared in a book. I opened it out of curiosity, but it was a letter. Zhao Rong knew that this letterhead was popular among Huaichun's daughters in the capital. It was not only simple and elegant, but also had a subtle fragrance. It was a must-have for expressing your true feelings to your lover.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Rong swept away her laziness and opened the letter. Inside were a few lines of beautiful small characters.
Begonia prays for rain, and the deep courtyard locks up the dusk. The orioles sing continuously, and Nian Nian is your honor.
Rongjun? Shigure? Looking at this crooked poem, countless thoughts came to mind. The anger on Zhao Rong's face became more and more intense, and the hand holding the letter trembled slightly. Is it hard to be honored and honored... to return the begonia, it is the pear blossom that overwhelms the begonia.
After thinking about this, Zhao Rong turned pale and shouted loudly: "Stop the car, Cuifeng, come here."
The personal maid who was accompanying me hurried over and said, "Princess, my servant is here."
Looking at the somewhat surprised looks of everyone outside the car, Zhao Rong suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Get in the car."
When Cuifeng got into the car, Zhao Rongfang asked with a gloomy face: "Where have you been these days, and who have you met?"
Cuifeng glanced at Zhao Rong anxiously, and was thinking about what to say. Zhao Rong was already impatient, "Just say whatever you know. Didn't I let you watch his movements on weekdays? Didn't you go meet some little prodigal?" ”
Cuifeng glanced at the car window and cautiously tried to persuade her, "Princess, the master may just be outside to relax, and he will eventually come back."
"Fart, what are you doing to relax? What do you know? Speak quickly. Otherwise, don't go back today. Just die on the side of the road." Zhao Rong heard the implication of Cuifeng's words and became furious.
Cuifeng was so frightened that he crouched on the ground, "Princess, please calm down. I also heard from the old man Niu who came from the mansion to deliver rouge to Yurunzhai two days ago. This year, he always asked him to deliver rouge to a courtyard outside the city. It's not far away." It's a good time to go, the master will give you a lot of rewards every time.
This old guy secretly wanted me to give him some reward money, but I didn't want to pay attention to him. But the matter of sending Rouge was indeed strange, so he asked for the address of the courtyard. Later I remembered that there was a piece of private property belonging to the master there, which was purchased just a few years ago, but the money was not taken from the house. I only heard my family mention it because I had to send some daily necessities there on weekdays. "
Listening to Cuifeng's words, Zhao Rong's face became paler and paler, "Damn maid, did you know something earlier? You hid it in your words. Tell me everything you know. Have you been tricked by the master?" Bought the past.”
Cuifeng was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly. She knew the temper of the eldest princess. How many maids had been killed with a stick in recent years? She quickly whispered: "I don't dare, but I don't want the princess to be upset about this."
"explain."
Cuifeng bit her lip and said, "I heard that the master was interested in the family of one of the young master's men. That man knew what he was interested in, so he offered it to him. But for some reason, he escaped a few days ago. .
In the past, I only went to that house occasionally, but since I learned about Rong Xi's death, I have gone more frequently. I heard that a lot of good things were sent there. I guess the woman is hiding there. House. "
Boom, Zhao Rong put her foot on Cuifeng. The latter hit the carriage hard and gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't this ungrateful thing just because a son died? Does he dislike me for not being able to give birth to an heir for him? This I just found another woman. Go, go to that place, I will let him give birth."
"Yes, yes." Cuifeng endured the pain, quickly got out of the car to greet the guards, and turned to the house outside the city. This woman was jealous, but no one could stop her.
After running for two hours, the group finally arrived at this hidden courtyard.
Looking at this courtyard with white walls and black tiles, which was not much different from the surrounding homes, Zhao Rong had cold eyes and turned to look at Cuifeng, "Is this here?"
Cuifeng quickly replied: "Exactly."
Zhao Rong waved her hand, and two guards arrived in front of her, "Take people in carefully, be sure not to let the people in the courtyard escape, and move quickly."
"Here." The two guards bowed their hands and retreated. With a wave of their hands, the more than thirty guards accompanying them rushed towards the small courtyard. Someone jumped over the courtyard wall, opened the courtyard door, and quickly took down the guard inside. The group of people quickly rushed into the courtyard and took action to subdue anyone they saw.
Zhao Rong, accompanied by Cuifeng and other maids, also entered the courtyard. By the time they reached the elegant small building in the backyard, the fighting in the courtyard had ended, and four or five guards were lying on the ground with bruises and bruises. The two leading guards ran out of the building and looked a little strange when they saw Zhao Rong.
In an instant, Zhao Rong understood that her suspicions along the way were true. Walking into the building with an expressionless face, he saw Rong Kui wearing clothes in a panic, with his upper body still naked.
Seeing Zhao Rong coming over, Rong Kui's face turned pale and he hurriedly walked up to her, "Madam, no, princess, please listen to my explanation. Let's talk about it after we go back home."
"Go away." Zhao Rong glanced at Rong Kui coldly and walked upstairs.
"Princess." Rong Kui shouted anxiously behind him, trying to stop Zhao Rong from going upstairs.
"Hold him down." Zhao Rong ordered coldly without looking back. Several guards stepped forward awkwardly, but they couldn't take down Rong Kui. They just blocked the stairs and prevented Rong Kui from going upstairs.
After reaching the second floor, Zhao Rong came to a room and looked inside. There was a woman inside, shivering wrapped in a quilt, looking at the door in horror.
Zhao Rong suddenly felt a little dizzy, Cuifeng quickly supported her, "Princess, your health is urgent."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Rong said to Cui'er: "Burn this place." Then she went downstairs numbly.
Soon, the group of people returned to the capital. The yard behind them was filled with smoke and flames were shooting into the sky. Rong Kui also hid in the car, but did not dare to look back.
