She went out during the day and was so hot that she was sweating all over. After taking a shower, Shen Dingzhu felt refreshed and hid in the room to enjoy the coolness. By the way, she made two stitches on the sachet and stuffed some spices into it.
at this time.
There was a commotion at the door. As soon as Shen Dingzhu stood up, the door was kicked open with force. Mu Xia was pushed in and fell to the ground.
"Mu Xia, what's wrong?" Shen Dingzhu walked over quickly, only to see Mu Xia's hair was messy, covering her red and swollen face, with tears of humiliation on her face.
Huang Yunmeng rushed in directly with his maid and mother-in-law.
"Azhu, you maid is so ignorant. How did you teach her? She doesn't even have eyes. Just now she was carrying soup and she bumped into me!" Huang Yunmeng said unceremoniously.
The mother-in-law beside her added in a pretentious manner: "Miss Azhu, do you know how precious this dress is? It was given by the emperor. He complimented our lady on how beautiful it is, but now it has been ruined by this cheap girl Mu Xia. How can you give it to me?" Give me an explanation!"
And Huang Yunmeng's maid added fuel to the fire: "My lady, maybe Mu Xia did it on purpose. Recently, the lady has been favored, and the emperor has been doting on her a lot. Who knows if some of the slaves are deliberately venting their master's anger, and it's not good for our lady!" "
Mu Xia was particularly aggrieved: "Miss, it's really not like this. I stopped when I saw Miss Huang, but Miss Huang bumped into me when I passed by. I..."
Before she could finish her words, the woman beside Huang Yunmeng suddenly raised her voice: "Bitch girl, what do you mean by this? Could it be that our young lady will take the initiative to pounce on you?"
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing else Shen Dingzhu doesn't understand.
Huang Yunmeng had been wronged in the Jin Kingdom, and now that he had gained power, he wanted to find an opportunity to bully him back.
What's more, Huang Yunmeng was sure that she had lost her memory, and now she was in Changliu, not Jin State, and Xiao Langyan was not here. Huang Yunmeng thought that she and Shen Dingzhu were competing equally.
"Huang Yunmeng, if you have any grievances, don't come to me. Go to your adoptive father and tell him. Mu Xia has always behaved herself. I only believe what she said. If you are not convinced, you can ask the emperor to judge!"
After Shen Dingzhu finished speaking, Huang Yunmeng's expression suddenly changed.
"What do you mean? Do you think I dare not complain to the emperor? Azhu, don't think that just because you are a little beautiful, you can be special. The emperor has promised to make me his concubine today, and you, It’s just the emperor’s temporary interest.”
Shen Dingzhu looked calm: "Really? That's really congratulations to you."
Huang Yunmeng saw that she had no reaction, just like a punch on cotton, and he was a little annoyed: "You! Okay, since you don't care so much, someone, please hold down Mu Xia, this bitch, and give her a hard slap. When my anger subsides, when will I stop again.”
So arrogant, he dared to take action in front of Shen Dingzhu.
Mu Xia was pale and trembling, and hurriedly hid behind Shen Dingzhu: "Miss, miss, please save this slave!"
Those women were powerful but unreasonable. They pulled and pulled Mu Xia. They looked like they were pulling Mu Xia, but in fact they were grabbing Shen Dingzhu. Fortunately, Shen Dingzhu was on guard. During the push back and forth, only her fingertips were caught. The women scratched her a few times, leaving red marks.
At this moment, a shout came from the door: "What are you doing! Stop it!"
Everyone turned around and saw the regent walking in with a livid face.
There were seven or eight cuts on his face, and now that he was covered with dark green concoction, he looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
Everyone lowered their heads, and Huang Yunmeng shed tears of grievance: "Godfather, Ah Zhu..."
"You still have time to cause trouble here. The emperor is looking for you everywhere, do you know? Hurry up and wait for him, don't keep the emperor waiting!" The regent interrupted her quickly.
Huang Yunmeng was overjoyed, Feng Jing actually found her again?
When he came back during the day, Feng Jing said that he was tired. Huang Yun dreamed of following him to serve in Jianjia's courtyard, but Feng Jing refused.
Now that she is being asked to serve him again, it seems that her good days are coming soon.
Huang Yunmeng glanced at Shen Dingzhu proudly: "Well, since the emperor has summoned me, there is no reason for me not to go. Ah Zhu, forget it this time, but if there is a next time, I will help you discipline you. maid."
The regent did not reprimand her. After all, Feng Jing was now interested in Huang Yunmeng, and it was too late for him to hold Huang Yunmeng in his arms.
A group of people left, Shen Dingzhu was silent in the room, and Mu Xia was sobbing.
The regent turned and sat on the chair, showing no intention of leaving: "Mu Xia, you go down first. I have something to say to Azhu alone. If there is no order, you don't have to come in again."
Mu Xia stopped crying and looked at Shen Dingzhu hesitantly. The regent's eyes became sharp: "Don't you understand my instructions? Get down!"
Shen Dingzhu nodded to her secretly, and Mu Xia wiped her tears. When she got up and left, she closed the door but did not close it tightly.
"Father, it's so late. I'm tired from going out today. I wonder if there's something important that I have to explain now?"
The regent stared directly at Shen Dingzhu's figure.
She changed her clothes after she came back, and now she was wearing wisteria-colored silk gauze, with white and smooth skin, a plump and bulging chest, and a slender waist that she could hold.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is in ecstasy.
"Azhu, you have been ignored by the emperor, which makes your adoptive father very disappointed. It has only been a few days, how come you can't even capture a man's heart? Besides, the emperor is still so young, so it shouldn't be difficult for you. .”
Shen Dingzhu pretended to be helpless: "The emperor has his own opinions. I can only do my best. I believe that when the emperor calms down, he will not care about me."
The regent shook his head, and his tone was quite meaningful: "There are some things that my adoptive father should not have said to you, otherwise it would be against human ethics. But for the sake of your future, my adoptive father should also remind you that good skills in bed are the key to success." Are you not good enough at grasping the root of a man’s heart?”
This is really disgusting!
Shen Dingzhu endured the discomfort: "Father, the emperor is not angry because of this."
The regent actually stood up and walked towards her: "I should teach you a lesson again. I promise to train you so that the emperor can't stop."
Seeing the malicious intent in his eyes, Shen Dingzhu took two steps back and pinched the silver needle that had just been used to embroider the sachet.
At this moment, the butler hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has summoned you."
The regent was in high spirits and felt that it was impossible not to let go. He had to hold Shen Dingzhu down tonight!
So, with a somewhat unhappy tone: "What's urgent, Your Majesty?"
"Miss Huang recited poems against the Emperor, which aroused the Emperor's interest. She wants to drink and go boating with you all night, so I want you to go now!"
The regent wanted to curse loudly, this little emperor really messed with people at no time.
"Azhu, please leave the door for your adoptive father at this time tomorrow, and he will talk to you carefully." After saying that, the regent left in a hurry.
After he left, Shen Dingzhu felt extremely nauseous, and even the smell of medicine on his body made her feel nauseated.
Mu Xia rushed back: "Miss, the prince didn't... didn't do anything to you, right? I'm just afraid that I'll be late!"
Shen Dingzhu looked at her: "Did you tell the emperor?"
Mu Xia: "Actually, the whole mansion knows that the prince has other thoughts for you. It's just that the young lady was protecting the servant. If the servant didn't care, it would be very difficult for her conscience. Therefore, the servant just ran to disturb Miss Huang from talking to the emperor, no matter how angry she was. , the slave knelt down and apologized, and said that the regent was alone with the young lady and was scolding the young lady, so that if Miss Huang does anything wrong, it should be blamed on the slave, so don’t torment the young lady."
Shen Dingzhu pursed her lips in approval: "You are very smart, come here."
Mu Xia walked over cautiously, and Shen Dingzhu wrapped a piece of crushed ice in a handkerchief and applied it to her face.
"Mu Xia, do me a favor and seal this window with pepper mud. Don't say anything to anyone, and don't let anyone see you."
Mu Xia was startled: "Miss, what do you want to do?"
"I can't tell you the details yet. In short, you have to help me finish it before dawn. Can you do it?" Shen Dingzhu looked at her with bright eyes.
Mu Xia pondered for a moment before nodding: "I'll do my best, slave."
Shen Dingzhu watched her go out, then sat on the couch again, her beautiful eyes cold.
She couldn't wait any longer. The regent's desire to possess her was getting stronger and stronger. If this continued, she would be unable to guard against him sooner or later.
Therefore, Shen Dingzhu decided to take action in advance and burn the regent here, and then took advantage of the chaos to burn his study.
Hopefully, this will keep the secret recipe for gunpowder from spreading.
Early the next morning, Shen Dingzhu got up after sleeping for a while. Mu Xia applied pepper paste to seal the window last night, and she also helped. The hot sun shone in early in the morning, and the pepper paste dried quickly.
Shen Dingzhu tried several times, but the window couldn't be opened.
Mu Xia said: "Miss, I heard that the emperor drank too much last night, and when he and the prince were boating on the lake, he kicked the prince into the water."
She probably saw that Shen Dingzhu was unhappy all night, so she made a special trip to tell her the news to make her happy.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Shen Dingzhu burst into laughter.
"He's just so naughty."
"Who are you calling naughty?" Feng Jing's voice came from the door.
Shen Dingzhu looked back and saw Feng Jing dressed in a golden orange robe, with graceful eyebrows, a golden crown and high ponytail, and the young man was full of energy.
As soon as he came in, he pulled his collar, fanned twice, frowned and said, "Your room is as stuffy as a steamer. It's simply not for people to live in. Why don't you come back with me to sleep at night?"
Shen Dingzhu had his own plan tonight and said naturally: "Actually, I have slept here for two nights and I feel quiet."
Feng Jing sat at her table, picked up the sachet that she had not finished changing the thread and looked at it twice, half-smiling but not smiling: "Oh, you think I'm noisy?"
Seeing that they were about to argue, Mu Xia said wisely, "I'll go down and bring more tea."
After she left, Feng Jing put down the sachet, and the playful look on his face disappeared and became serious.
"Go back and sleep with me tonight."
"No reply," Shen Dingzhu walked to the window, the water in his eyes trembling, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have my own ideas."
Feng Jing walked up behind her: "What do you think? Do you want to kill Wei Mao'an yourself?"
Shen Dingzhu was startled and looked back. Feng Jing realized that he seemed to be standing too close to her, so he took half a step back.
"How does the emperor know?"
"The blame is that your maid was not careful at all when transporting the pepper paste. I can know it, and Wei Mao'an can also know it. Fortunately, I sent someone to cover it up for you, saying that you had to seal the window to prevent mosquitoes."
Shen Dingzhu bit his lip: "He makes me sick. I won't be willing to kill him."
Feng Jing raised his hand to support the table beside her, and the boy's straight body was leaning against it.
He looked into Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes: "I discovered that when you are really angry, you like to secretly grit your teeth like this and bulge your cheeks slightly."
Shen Dingzhu was startled. Her cheeks were bulging?
She turned to look at her face in the bronze mirror. Feng Jing squinted his eyes beside her: "No need to grit your teeth, I will vent your anger. Wait for me to pick you up at night. Don't run around."
After finishing speaking, he was about to leave when he suddenly said: "This sachet of yours is very beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't like the dark green color."
Shen Dingzhu's eyes widened. Did she say she wanted to give it to him?
