For the next seven days, Xia Luotong didn't leave the house again.
Yusheng Pavilion specially made four sets of clothes for her, using the four sets of designs she had drawn before. It was originally agreed to pick them up five days later, but after only a moment of hesitation, she decided to postpone them.
The reason is simple, she doesn't want to be caught again when she is poisoned.
I was lucky last time, as I got poisoned in the private room of Yusheng Pavilion, and Zuo Xiyan was the only one at the scene. Fortunately, he didn't spread the news randomly, so it seems that he is a trustworthy person.
But if you are unlucky and get poisoned while you are outside, the consequences will be unimaginable.
While vomiting blood, she would also fall into a state of confusion. Not only would her safety be compromised, but she would also be exposed to the fact that she left the house privately, and the story of her poisoning would become known to everyone.
By then, everyone will know that the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites was poisoned after marrying into Prince An's palace, and even vomited blood and fainted in public. The subsequent development may be out of control. It can be said that there will be endless troubles, so she cannot take risks.
Although now she has married into the palace and is already a member of the palace, so she cannot say that she will lose everything, but she is still quite satisfied with her peaceful life in a corner.
Now she not only needs to understand and gather information, but also detoxify and recuperate her body, so it is a good choice to stay dormant in the palace for the time being. It seems to be relatively safe at the moment. The palace also treats her as if she is nothing, which is what she wants. Happy to see.
After these few days of detoxification, she no longer vomits blood every day, and only has one attack every two or three days. Otherwise, she would have to worry about whether she would lose too much blood and die early.
She waited until the poison struck again on the sixth day before leaving the house again on the seventh day.
This time, it was much easier to climb over the wall and leave the house than before. The toxins in the body were reduced, and Zhuxuan tried her best to supplement her food during these days, plus her own medicinal supplements. Now she can gain some strength and go up. I can barely use the Qinggong and Shenfa skills of this lifetime.
Not to mention using Qinggong before, her weak body could be blown away by a slightly stronger wind.
Xia Luotong had been silent for several days. Today she finally went out. Unexpectedly, in another mansion not far from the palace, there was a person who was thinking of her.
Zuo Xiyan didn't know what was wrong with him these days. When he was free, he would occasionally think of those pair of eyes as bright as stars and the smile that seemed to shine into his heart with a glimmer of light.
The subordinate who was originally sent to Anyuan Town had to hide because he discovered the traces of Prince An Wu Zechen's men. He had not been able to bring back any useful news for a long time, but he had more and more questions about her. It made him want to keep exploring.
However, although Anyuan Town could not inquire about it for the time being, her situation in the palace was found out without much effort.
In this regard, Prince An Wu Zechen seems to have no intention of hiding it at all. It can even be said that he openly displayed it in front of everyone, making no secret of his dissatisfaction with the marriage. Nowadays, almost anyone who pays attention to Prince An's palace People all know these things.
Xia Luotong, Princess An's wife, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites who suddenly appeared, was driven to a remote courtyard in the mansion on the night she married into Prince An's mansion, and the marriage was not even consummated. It is still a perfect wedding to this day. body.
It can be said that Princess An was quite disliked by Prince An. Not only did she never see her again after her wedding, she was even matched with only one maid, unlike ordinary ladies who could be matched with two. The maid and several rough servants.
Not only that, the day after the wedding was supposed to be the day when the newlyweds entered the palace to express their gratitude. After all, this marriage was a gift from the emperor, but in the end, only Wu Zechen entered the palace alone, without bringing the newlyweds into the palace. Princess An.
On the third day, it was time to go back home. Wu Zechen didn't think about it at all. The whole Prince An's mansion was quiet and there was no movement at all. Instead, he made good preparations and planned to wait for the newly married daughter to take care of him. The Minister of Rites, who followed his son-in-law back home, became the laughingstock of the capital.
Xia Da, the Minister of Rites, was so popular that when he went to court the next day, he sued his son-in-law Prince An, saying that Prince An had no regard for the emperor and did not take the imperial marriage seriously. Called an impassioned man, he seemed confident that he wanted to teach his new son-in-law a lesson.
However, what Mr. Xia Zhihe Xia didn't expect was that Prince An Wu Zechen, who still had a cold face even in the court and was so domineering that he didn't give any face to anyone, would refute him on the spot and humiliate him, and even put himself in trouble. Got a ride in.
The content of Wu Zechen's counterattack was also very simple. It was nothing more than Xia Luotong's identity.
For more than ten years, everyone in the capital only knew that the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites was Xia Zhilu, a daughter of the Li family. They had no idea who Xia Luotong was. Even a few days before the wedding, they thought that the person who was going to marry into the palace was Xia Zhilu. Xia Zhilu.
As a result, on the day of the wedding, news suddenly came out from the Office of the Minister of Rites that the person who was going to marry into the palace was actually Xia Luotong, who had been raised in the country since she was a child. She was said to be the real eldest daughter, and the current Mrs. Xia Li was actually the step-mother. room.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the capital was caught off guard and shocked. When they learned that the so-called eldest daughter was just the child of a wealthy girl from a small town whom Xia Zhihe had married in his early years, they all started to look at her. The joke about Prince An's Mansion started.
After all, such a daughter who is unwilling to admit her identity even to the Shangshu Mansion shows how much she has fallen into disgrace.
To this day, Prince An's Mansion is still the laughingstock of the capital, but Prince An, who was originally a royal relative, married the daughter of a wealthy businessman from a remote town. This incident is enough to become a stain on his life.
Originally, the matter passed without anyone mentioning it, but when Xia Zhihe insisted on talking about it, Wu Zechen was eager to let him repay a little interest in advance.
His counterattack was actually simple. He didn't tell the real person he was getting married to in advance and didn't tell him until the day of the wedding. So what if he was the real eldest daughter? To despise and play with the royal family in such a way, you simply have no regard for the emperor and the entire royal family!
He, Wu Zechen, is the grandson of the current Queen Mother, and even the nephew of the Emperor! A true royal person with pure blood and noble blood!
Even though he is now feared and tolerated by the emperor, it is only secretly, and no one dares to say it openly. After all, he has guarded the border for many years and has made great achievements in battle, and he is a hero of the Zhou Dynasty!
To be honest, although the Prince An's Mansion has become a laughing stock today, the Mansion of the Minister of Rites that engaged in such a trick of changing the day and night is indeed unreasonable. Wu Zechen said it so plausibly, and if the emperor didn't give some indication, wouldn't it be wrong? Does this mean that he acquiesced in this matter?
In desperation, the emperor could only hold back his anger and punish Xia Zhihe as punishment.
Xia Zhihe, who had stolen the chicken but lost the rice, was reprimanded by the court. His face was dull and he finally shut up and stayed honest for a long time.
