"Madam, Sir, why are you here today?" Shopkeeper Bo and Mr. Wei saw Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince coming to the incense shop, and immediately came to the door to greet them.
Aunt Zhou turned back and glanced around anxiously, and replied uneasily: "Last time I got some new incense made by Aunt Du from your place. It tasted good. I want to get some more."
Mrs. Wei raised her hand and took out a box of incense pills from the cabinet with her eyebrows bent and a smile on her face, "I guessed that Madam would come again, so I had prepared the incense for you to smell."
Aunt Zhou took it in her hand, her eyes wandering, looking around intentionally or unintentionally, not caring about smelling the fragrance at all.
The third prince held her hand and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Wei."
Aunt Zhou finally came back to her senses and showed a slightly embarrassed smile, "Ms. Wei is really serious, I will accept this."
Mrs. Wei noticed something strange about Aunt Zhou, and smiled and invited them into the shop, "Madam, we have made hot tea in the shop, do you want to come and drink some."
Aunt Zhou hesitated whether to go or not, then looked back around the incense shop.
The third prince supported her, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Nothing, let's go in and sit down first. If he wants to come and arrest us, then let him do it."
Lu Yan had already sent troops to surround him. As soon as the emperor arrived, they would treat him as a bandit and execute him here. ?.?????.???
Aunt Zhou came to her senses slightly, held the Third Prince's hand tightly, and walked towards the house together.
Mrs. Wei poured tea for them.
It's freshly brewed fruit tea, full of fruity aroma.
Aunt Zhou smelled the faint fragrance of fruit tea, and her nervous heart relaxed a lot.
She and the emperor had not seen each other for several years, and memories of the past flooded into her mind like a door opening, keeping her awake all night.
She always sees her father and brother who were beheaded.
We can always see the night when she couldn't afford to kneel down to plead for her father and brother.
It was very cold that night, and the biting cold wind penetrated her gauze, like a knife bit by bit on Ling Chi, who had already lost her soul and flesh.
Painful and numb, she couldn't figure out that night how her good father and brother could become treason and collaborators.
Later, she was dragged to the cold palace by a group of eunuchs.
Someone slapped her in the face, someone kicked her in the stomach. She rushed out of the crowd like crazy and ran to the emperor, calling him by his real name.
However, the emperor gave him a look of indifference and disgust.
That look was the last stone that broke her down. She sat helplessly on the ground and let people drag her around. It wasn't until her knees and elbows were stained red with blood that she slowly regained consciousness.
They have been married for more than ten years, but they are no match for the beloved concubine who frequently enters the harem, and they are no match for his superior skills.
Now that the friendship between husband and wife has been broken up, if they meet again, they will be the enemies who killed their father. They are irreconcilable.
Aunt Zhou took a sip of the hot tea brought by Mrs. Wei, and her cold body instantly felt warm.
Mrs. Wei put down the teapot in her hand and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Du personally taught me how to make this fruit tea. She said that this tea has a soothing effect."
Aunt Zhou took another sip, and it did look a bit like the fruit tea brewed by Du Wanchun.
She couldn't help but feel familiar, as if Du Wanchun was by her side. The panic and uneasiness just now disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face.
Mrs. Wei saw her smile and asked quickly: "Madam, do you want another drink?"
"Well, pour me another glass." Aunt Zhou stood up and prepared to hand out the cup.
The third prince took the cup from her hand first, comforted her to sit properly, then stood up and handed the cup to Mrs. Wei to pour tea.
After Mrs. Wei filled up her cup, she turned back to shopkeeper Bo and said, "How about we close the door early to avoid some uninvited guests?"
Shopkeeper Bo nodded and stood up to close the door of the shop.
However, he had just arrived at the door.
Then I heard someone hurriedly coming to deliver a message, it was Lu Yan's soldiers.
He entered the room in a panic and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, our general called us to deliver a message. Does he want you to go back to the house?"
Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince looked up in surprise.
According to their plan, Lu Yan's people should be standing guard all around. Why would they suddenly be called back to their home?
The third prince stood up, his face as dark as water, and asked: "Do you, general, tell me what the matter is?"
Xiaobing quickly said: "It seems to be related to the lady."
"Miss, isn't that Xiao Zhouzhou?" Wei suddenly exclaimed.
