Chapter 24 The old man

Qin Ruyan sat quietly on the bed, lowered her head and twirled her gaudy pink skirt, once again feeling desperate for Mr. Zheng's aesthetics.

Before the age of 14, although she was not considered a lady of the family, she was still a young lady, her parents were strict and her aunt loved her, and her brother was named after a teenager. Everyone knew that he would be a promising person in the future, and no one would take it hard to treat her harshly. The days passed in full swing.

It was later that the family fell into ruin, and after being convicted, he was classified as a lowly citizen, and he was also dispatched to a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.There are cruise boats, Liumo, and Qin Louxie pavilions everywhere, lingering in the picturesque landscape. Although he is a hard-working person, he can be regarded as a flower guest, and the scenery is beautiful and elegant. How can he wear such clothes.

Only the young master of Zheng's mansion, who has a unique aesthetic, likes to prepare a wardrobe of clothes like this for others.

It was the little Mr. Zheng who redeemed her from Yanliu Lane, made her think that she would meet a lover, and made her understand what a concubine was, and finally gave her to someone else.

If a person hadn't fallen and rolled in the mud, he might never have discovered what kind of person he really is.

When Qin Ruyan was still Qi Yingying, she regarded herself as a lady in the boudoir, and usually played the piano, did painting, and often did needlework and embroidery.She has a docile temperament, but she can't understand her elder brother's unmarried sister-in-law. She thinks that she is like a lady from an official family, who doesn't know how to quarrel when someone marries in.

In the past, Qi Yingying was worried when she thought of Miss Zhou, and hoped that she would come in later, and it would be best if the two families broke up one day, and she would never want to step into the Qi family's door again for the rest of her life.

Later, Qin Ruyan felt that it was fortunate that the girl hadn't passed the door.

Of course Zhou Shuhe would not be like the third sister who got married but was pulled back for naturalization, crying and hanging herself by the last rope, leaving only a sad and frightened younger sister.But the guy surnamed Zhou has a bad temper, and he is far from being as clever as himself. He can do a little bit of lying down for a while, and a little bit of sex for a while, and won several deals in the blink of an eye.

If she had her own help, she might still be able to recruit a few sporadic guests to pass by - there are always people who leave the beautiful wives and concubines at home, and just like to go out to be scolded by others, don't they?But if he is also like himself, dazed, blindfolded, and foolishly rushing towards a "beloved", then how can he endure his heart, liver, spleen and lungs being thrown in a frying pan with flesh and blood? It's painful.

If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, and if you don't want to live, you have to live it.

There seemed to be a corner of Hu Xiang's old memory left in her heart, hooked like a hook, making her think that some of her brothers might still be alive, and think of who among her sisters might be living with her.

The door of the room opened with a creak, and a man stood there against the light, with a long shadow stretching out to her feet.Qin Ruyan didn't know who she was sent to by the Zheng family, but it didn't matter at all.

Whether it is to win over many people by the Qinhuai River, or to win over one person with many people in Zheng's mansion, or to change another mansion, and then another person, she will always be trapped in a room and belittled at will, it's no different anyway.

She skillfully raised a smile, looked up at him lazily and softly——

The twilight is all together, the sun is setting, and the last ray of sunlight at dusk sinks into the ground.It wasn't until the man approached and stroked her cheek to wipe away the tears that Qin Ruyan suddenly realized that she was actually crying.

"Yingying," Qi Yu said, "if you want to cry, don't hold back, brother is here."

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhou Shuhe was clasping the "Biography of Princess Bai" written by Qi Yu, and was trying to recite silently with sleepiness, but was interrupted by Jiyue many times.

She was a little annoyed, and repeatedly told Jiyue to keep her mouth shut, but that girl had a restless temperament and liked to inquire everywhere. This was originally the reason why she brought Jiyue into the palace, but now she had to bear the consequences. disadvantages.

"My lady, do you know that Concubine Jia has been grounded today."

"What?" Zhou Shuhe couldn't help being led away again, and closed the book with a long sigh, telling himself that this was controlling the situation in the palace, and it was also a very important part of the intrigue in the harem.

"Your Majesty has always believed in Concubine Jia, why should she restrain her feet for no reason?"

Jiyue also got excited and sent the maid out, and then spoke mysteriously.

"It is said that a few days ago, Lord Zhu Yuzhu of the previous dynasty was charged with treason by the Overwatch Council. Concubine Jia took Highness Prince Ning to intercede, but His Majesty did not see him. His Majesty went to the Imperial Garden to relax early this morning, and Concubine Jia happened to be there too. Now, she even hung a prayer belt on the most efficacious blessing tree in the palace to pray for Master Zhu, and when she saw His Majesty, she asked for mercy, which made His Majesty angry and restrained her feet."

Zhou Shuhe was puzzled: "Why did Concubine Jia plead for Zhu Yu?"

Jiyue smiled and said, "It's the servant girl who was stupid and forgot to mention it to the lady. Then Zhu Yu is the eldest brother of Concubine Jia, so she naturally asks for love."

She was stunned for a while: "What!? But..."

But if Zhu Yu was the direct brother of Concubine Jia, that is, Prince Ning's uncle, how could he act with the abolished princeling?To put it bluntly, when the emperor is gone now, he will be an upright uncle of the country, how could he plot rebellion for the deposed prince?

Zhou Shuhe was taken aback for a moment, and faintly touched the key point.

In the folk rumors of the previous life, many people regarded the Zhu Yu case as the emperor's extermination of the abolition of the princelings, because the group of people involved in the first place were old scholars headed by the Imperial Academy. More or less, he spoke for the decent prince, but Zhu Yu's "conspiracy" act never clearly stated that he did it to abolish the prince.

The emperor also knew that Zhu Yu was Prince Ning's uncle, so he would not have guessed that if he died and King Ning succeeded, Zhu Yu would become the uncle of the state, so he thought that the reason for Zhu Yu's rebellion was naturally because of King Ning, not the abolished prince.As for the subsequent implication of the remaining party of the abolished prince, it was only because he wanted to implicate these people.

Not clan members, not officials, but relatives who could also threaten the emperor's authority.

Perhaps it was only at this time that the emperor discovered that not only the cheap son of Princess Jingjia and the abandoned prince, but even his own children could shake his throne.

This kind of fear all day long, coupled with his already cruel and suspicious temperament, led to an inexplicable hatred for the entire court in the future, and he continued to torture and kill until his corpse floated thousands of miles away.

That is the past time, she can't take care of the world, but in this life she can at least protect a small Zhou family.

Zhou Shuhe forced himself not to think too much, and he could follow this thread and slowly sort out the intricate details behind it when he calmed down.

The emperor had reason to doubt Zhu Yu, but Zhu Yu had no reason to commit treason. His Majesty is already 44 years old, and he only has one son, King Ning.

Then the only possibility is...

Any answer was about to come out, but at this time the maid serving outside suddenly came in and interrupted her train of thought.

"My lady, Qi Bingbi from the Supervisor of Rituals is asking to see you, do you want to see me?"

"..."

Zhou Shuhe slammed the book in his hand on the table, making a "bang".

"See, of course I want to see you." She gritted her teeth, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "When will Qi Yu's stinking problem be changed? It used to be when I was counting horse tags, but now it's in When I’m thinking about major events in the world, it’s impolite to interrupt other people’s thoughts casually!”
