A snicker suddenly emerged from the corner of Huang Yunmeng's mouth. Her bright eyes were fixed on Shen Dingzhu. Her victor's attitude was full of the showoff of a villain's success.
Before Shen Dingzhu could resist, the palace lady brought by Concubine Lan came in from the outside and held her shoulders tightly.
They used so much force that it hurt Shen Dingzhu.
"Ms. Concubine Lan, Ah Zhu was given to the Emperor by the prince, so are you really sure that the Emperor doesn't know about Ah Zhu?"
The corners of Lan Fei's mouth tightened, and the disgust in her eyes deepened.
What a coquettish person, at this point, you are still acting coy and pretending to be pitiful.
"Even if the Emperor knew it, you were still guilty of not stopping him. I want to punish you. How can I be wronged?"
Huang Yunmeng said at this time: "My dear, Ah Zhu has always been very sharp-tongued. It's better not to listen to her sophistry. She should suffer a little, so that she won't be so arrogant."
With that said, Huang Yunmeng took the initiative to step forward, rolled up his sleeves, and slapped Shen Dingzhu on the right cheek.
Shen Dingzhu saw her intention and wanted to hide. However, the women around her pinched her neck from behind, making it impossible for her to escape.
The moment the slap hit, Shen Dingzhu's head was rumbling, her grievances and anger were like a bursting flood, and suddenly, she felt a heat under her nose.
Shen Dingzhu lowered his head slightly, and the nosebleeds flowed down drop by drop.
Huang Yunmeng looked at it, not to mention how happy she was. She couldn't compete with Shen Dingzhu, and she couldn't steal Shen Dingzhu, but she knew how to use the situation to bully others!
Seeing that she was about to be slapped again.
The regent yelled at the door: "What are you doing!"
Shen Dingzhu no longer cared that the other party was the regent, tears flowed out, and he shouted: "Father, save me."
The regent saw that Shen Dingzhu had a nosebleed, and the left side of her beautiful and plump cheek became red and swollen.
She was a gift he carefully selected for Feng Jing, and she would definitely become his spy in the future. Huang Yunmeng was gone, and Shen Dingzhu was left as a chess piece that could be manipulated. If his face was ruined, then he would have nothing to lose. All in vain!
Concubine Lan stood up and gave the Prince Regent a bit of humiliation, but her tone remained calm. She raised her head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although this girl is your adopted daughter, she is no longer a virgin. How can she serve the Emperor like this?" ?”
The regent held up his hand and said coldly: "Concubine Lan clearly knows that before presenting Azhu to the emperor, I have fully informed her about her situation. The emperor doesn't mind. You came here to raise an issue, but have you asked the emperor about it?"
The corners of Lan Fei's lips stiffened.
She glanced at Shen Dingzhu. There was blood under the beauty's nose, which was shocking on her fair skin.
"Since the prince said so, I will go back and ask the emperor if he really can't be punished. Take my leave." Concubine Lan stepped forward and left with a group of people.
After she left, the regent looked at Huang Yunmeng with sharp eyes: "You are really bold. As an outsider, Concubine Lan, you not only favored others, but also slapped Azhu in the face with your own hands. If there is a flaw in her appearance, I will not let it go." you!"
Huang Yunmeng felt aggrieved: "However, Concubine Lan started to investigate the crime as soon as she came. I was just telling the truth."
"How dare you say that! Go back to your room!"
Huang Yunmeng left reluctantly, and the regent helped Shen Dingzhu to stand up: "Azhu, you are so stupid. She beats you, and you just have to resist. Will your adoptive father not help you?"
While he was talking, his hands got into Shen Dingzhu's sleeves and touched her smooth and white wrists. He just thought in his heart that she was really alive and like a fairy.
Shen Dingzhu suppressed her nausea and sobbed: "Concubine Lan asked the mothers-in-law to capture me, how could I escape? Moreover, my adoptive father said that Miss Huang and I were raised under your knees together, and we should have the same sympathy as sisters." We help each other, but Miss Huang’s slap just now was really hard.”
The regent was also a little angry: "I'm afraid it's because she knew that she was about to be registered as the king's second concubine, so she was a little arrogant. Ah Zhu, I will help you go back and rest."
You need to take good care of this face.
Of course Shen Dingzhu couldn't swallow this breath. How could she be beaten by Huang Yunmeng in vain?
Suddenly, she covered her forehead: "Father, my head hurts so much, ah——"
As Shen Dingzhu spoke, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. The regent panicked and hurriedly asked his servants to fetch the doctor.
Such a beautiful creature, please don’t die!
After a stick of incense.
Shen Dingzhu was lying on the couch with a pale face. The doctor sat beside him and felt his pulse, holding his beard with a heavy look on his face.
The Prince Regent asked, "How is she? Does she have any troublesome illness?"
The doctor retracted his hand and shook his head: "This young lady's pulse is a little weak. She must have had a serious illness before. Now she is in poor health and needs to be taken care of."
The regent asked the maid to take the doctor to prescribe medicine: "Azhu, you should lie down first, drink the medicine, and then sleep."
Shen Dingzhu pressed the center of his eyebrows and rubbed it gently, frowning: "Father...I don't know why, but just after that slap, my head felt so dizzy, some pictures, like snowflakes, flew out of my eyes very quickly. flashed by, I seemed to..."
The regent's eyes suddenly darkened: "Did you remember something?"
If it is true, no matter how beautiful she is, she cannot be kept!
Otherwise, it will be a disaster.
Shen Dingzhu was extremely distressed, closing his eyes, looking like he wanted to remember but couldn't.
"I don't know. I just feel that I have known Miss Huang before. I... why do I remember that she found someone to stain Wei Wan's innocence and scratched Wei Wan's face?"
The regent's face suddenly turned livid: "What did you say?!"
He suddenly stood up: "Azhu, please remember carefully, is this true?"
Huang Yunmeng told him that Wei Wan was killed by Xiao Langyan. At that time, the regent found it strange because Wei Wan had mentioned in her few correspondence that she had forced Shen Dingzhu away and was now trying every means to get Jin. The emperor's favor.
At that time, she did not say that Emperor Jin was disgusted with her. Instead, the news of Wei Wan's death suddenly came and Jing Yi was missing, which made the regent not suspicious of Huang Yunmeng's words.
He thought it was someone like Xiao Langyan who was ruthless and had no patience with Wei Wan.
But now, after hearing Shen Dingzhu say this, anger swept through his heart.
Wei Wan was his carefully selected chess piece and was specially sent to Emperor Jin. He was about to become the concubine of Emperor Jin, but Huang Yunmeng was allowed to mess up?
Shen Dingzhu was in pain: "I can't remember more. I just remember that Miss Huang had a fierce quarrel with Wei Wan. She seemed to have said... Wei Wan should not appear next to Emperor Jin. Foster father, how could I remember it?" Did I have a close relationship with them before such a thing? It seems like I witnessed it with my own eyes. There are seven or eight scars on Wei Wan's face."
She said, fear in her eyes.
The regent was absolutely shocked and furious. Huang Yunmeng's slap reminded Shen Dingzhu of the past. Not only that, it turned out that Huang Yunmeng had ruined so many of his good deeds in private!
"Azhu, you have a good rest and don't think about unnecessary things to avoid headaches. Your adoptive father will come to see you when he is free."
After saying that, he took gloomy steps and left quickly outside.
Shen Dingzhu looked at his back, her pretentious tears suddenly stopped, and her posture was cold in the depths of her beautiful dark eyes.
After a while, she called Mu Xia and asked her to pay attention to Huang Yunmeng's movements.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Mu Xia ran over very quickly.
"Miss, I heard from people in the main courtyard that the prince asked for a soft whip with barbs, hung up Miss Huang and beat her. Miss Huang's screams could be heard from two courtyards away. She really deserved it! However, the prince Why do you want to hit her all of a sudden?"
Shen Dingzhu felt like she breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and stroked her swollen cheek, but she still felt that she had not taught Huang Yunmeng enough.
"My adoptive father said that we should help each other. She helped Lan Fei beat me today, so it is only natural for my adoptive father to punish her." Shen Dingzhu spoke softly, and his voice was soft and mysterious.
Mu Xia nodded in agreement.
at the same time.
Concubine Lan returned to the palace. When she saw Feng Jing waiting in her palace, her heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong? Why do you see me looking like this?" Feng Jing raised his eyebrows. Why did he feel that Concubine Lan was feeling guilty?
"Where did you go just now? I waited for half a cup of tea for you and asked your palace servants, but they didn't know where you were going." Feng Jing looked at her, looking down, and saw the toes of her shoes, with a little Flower mud.
Concubine Lan calmed down and said, "I have been reading in the library, but I didn't expect that it was getting late. Fortunately, the palace people reminded me, otherwise the emperor would have to wait longer."
Feng Jing's eyes showed suspicion, but Concubine Lan quickly changed the subject: "Why does the emperor come to see my concubine?"
Feng Jing put away his other thoughts: "I have almost finished handling the government affairs. I will leave the palace for a short stay tomorrow. If those ministers come to bother you again, just excuse yourself and go away."
Concubine Lan's face turned pale: "The emperor is going to see that Azhu again? She is the adopted daughter of the regent. What does that mean? The emperor knows better than I do, right?"
Although Feng Jing thanked Concubine Lan for her persistence and caring for him, he really didn't like her questioning tone.
"I know what I want to do. It doesn't matter if others don't understand. Why are you so harsh on me?"
"Your Majesty, she had a husband and gave birth to children!" Concubine Lan was anxious. Normally, she would never forcefully contradict Feng Jing's words at this time.
But she didn't know why, when she saw that Ah Zhu, she felt panicked.
It seemed as if Feng Jing would leave at any time for her. It was obvious that they had only known each other for less than a month.
But Concubine Lan was afraid that such beauty could make others a substitute.
Feng Jing had already walked to the door. When he heard this, he suddenly looked back. There was no smile on the face of the handsome young man, only cold pressure.
"Not to mention whether I want to accept her as my concubine, but even if I want to accept her, what's wrong? Will this harem be ruined if she is one more person? Ruoqing, I will treat you in every possible way Patience and respect, you must not squander my patience."
After that, he lowered his eyes and stared at the toes of her shoes: "Where did you go just now? Since I don't want to tell the truth, I won't ask anymore. However, I hate deception the most. You know it. Don't let it happen again." .”
Feng Jing tossed his sleeves and left, leaving Concubine Lan kneeling on the ground, her face pale as if she had lost her soul.
At night, it rained heavily.
At the back door of the Prince Regent's Palace, a lantern swayed gently in the wind and rain. A low-key carriage drove into the alley, ran over the dimly lit puddles, and stopped at the back door.
The coachman took out his token and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened and the servant stuck his head out.
"We were ordered by the prince to discuss important matters. We were hit by a torrent on the road and were delayed a little. So we hurried and arrived early. I wonder if the prince can meet with me now?"
The servant looked at the token and took it away: "You guys wait here for a moment."
After the door was closed, the groom raised the brim of his hat dripping with rainwater. He turned back and whispered into the curtain: "Sir, will the Regent be suspicious?"
Inside the carriage, the man's tall body felt as oppressive as a mountain. Under his sharp sword-shaped eyebrows, a pair of thin eyes were cold and dark.
"He can't be suspicious. The two wealthy businessmen he summoned to Beijing this time are the money bags he has been keeping outside. Out of caution, the three of them have never met. Even if we take our place, he won't be able to tell the difference."
After Xiao Langyan finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and glanced at the lintel of the Prince Regent's Mansion.
His handsome and striking facial features, under the intertwined lights of shadows, faintly revealed a hint of malevolence.
For such a long time, his people have not found Shen Dingzhu's whereabouts. She had better be safe. Once the regent is captured and Lei Hong's whereabouts are known, they may be able to torture her whereabouts.
Xiao Langyan didn't want to wait any longer.
Shen Dingzhu is so delicate. Without his care and protection, this woman will definitely suffer.
