green bamboo dream

The rain became heavier, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in a dark curtain of water. 【26nbsp;】

——The three men from Cheng Guogong's mansion haven't come back yet.

Not long after, I heard that people from the Shenji Camp had arrived and were ordered to protect the safety of the Duke's Mansion.Now everyone in the mansion has settled their minds. Although there are not many people who can spare their hands to guard, this time can always make people feel more at ease.

The maids and mothers in the house were full of panic. No matter how clever and clever the back house girls are, all they can do in this huge struggle for the transition of state power is to pray and wait silently.

Yu Zhu suppressed her worries about De Yuan, and slowly sorted out the recent events in her mind.

It is very difficult for the Fifth Prince to compare with the Fourth Prince in terms of strength, so under normal circumstances, the possibility of him winning in the struggle for the throne is extremely small. This can be seen by anyone who has a little knowledge of government affairs.But the victory was decided so early, why didn't the fifth prince rein in the precipice, so as not to have nowhere to settle in the new dynasty after failure?It is impossible to rely on the dead soldiers alone. You must know that although the dead soldiers are not afraid of death, they are very powerful in assassination and kidnapping, but their tolerance is destined to be impossible to compare with those trained by the imperial court. An elite army, so unless the fifth prince and his staff are not idiots, the dead are absolutely impossible to be his trump card.

Since he dared not give in an inch, it means that either he has not used the power to make him absolutely comeback, or he has the intention of being benevolent if he does not succeed, and he is unwilling to be inferior to others... But the latter is possible. Sex is really not great, because as long as it is a prince who does not hinder the succession of the new emperor, the status of a prince cannot be escaped. Even if you are an idle clan with no real power, you can live a stable and wealthy life. Why bother knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, Going to Tiger Mountain, betting all your wealth and life for a small hope?

As for the trump card, Yu Zhu clenched her fists unconsciously, trying to spread her thoughts: until Emperor Ming Hui passed away, all the power accumulation of the two princes stopped, and they began to collide... Where did the fifth prince come from? Prince's advantage?Unless...unless a heroic army descended from the sky to control the capital by force, then the power controlled by the four princes would be completely meaningless. Anyway, the history books will always be written by the king - the loser is the conspiracy, and the winner is the emperor.

——This is the fifth prince's only chance.

But where did the army come from?The troops stationed outside had no emperor's orders, and there were regulations on how far they were from the capital, and they would never be involved in the battle for the reserve positions. They were the safest, only obeying the emperor, and only recognized the emperor's military amulet.Prince?No, wait until you become the emperor...

Then... only the Shenji Camp, which is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, is left, but it seems that the Shenji Camp has already lined up secretly... Yuzhu suddenly felt a little uneasy, she stood up abruptly, rushed into the inner room and left Take out a dagger from the dark compartment under the Babu bed. When Cui Shi got married, her grandfather gave her a dagger. Cui Shi also prepared Yu Zhu for self-defense. The danger is always to find the superiors and colleagues, but the generals are not, just like on the battlefield, they are used to relying on themselves.

Gently sliding her hand from the handle of the dagger inlaid with pearls all the way to the gleaming tip of the knife, Yu Zhu let out a breath slowly, reached out to hold it resolutely, and took out a tightly packed palm-sized dagger from the carved closet. Putting the brocade bag in his arms, he turned and went out the door.

Hua Ruo was in a hurry, "Ma'am, it's raining so hard outside, where are you going?"

An unintentional sentence reminded Yu Zhu, what do people think about running over like that?He hurriedly ordered: "Go and get me a cloak quickly, and get ready again, and bring all of us capable people with me, I'm going to the old lady's yard quickly."

Here we can see the achievements of Yuzhu's usual discipline. Although Hua Ruo really couldn't understand why the master had to go out at this moment, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and trotted away.

In Siqian Hall, Mrs. Xie was paying respects to the Buddha, sandalwood was bursting in front of the exquisite altar, when she saw Yuzhu approaching, she stood up unexpectedly.

In the past, the old lady never stopped in the middle of worshiping the Buddha. Even if someone came, she had to finish her homework before talking to them. She must be unable to concentrate at the moment.

"What are you doing here now? Don't you know how much damage the woman's body has suffered from the rain?" Mrs. Xie was a little unhappy, and her tone was much stricter than before, while Mama Yang poured heat on Yuzhu with a wink. Tea.

After taking the cotton towel from the servant girl and wiping her damp temple hair, Yu Zhu pointed at her clothes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine..."

"Hey, second younger brother and sister, why are you here?" Gong's brisk laughter came from the door, and then a slim and beautiful woman in Zhai Wen's plain gown came in with a smile on her face.

Yu Zhu calmly winked at Xie's mother, then lowered her head, and said softly: "Second Master hasn't returned home yet, so I just want to ask the old lady when Second Master will be back."

Mrs. Gong said with a smile: "Some time ago, the second brother and sister were very courageous in disposing of servants and resetting the rules of the courtyard. My sister-in-law thought you were very assertive. Now it's just that the second brother came back late. Why bother the old man again?" Mrs."

"Second Master is the concubine's heaven, even if he coughs, he still feels distressed, not to mention that there is such a big incident outside and it's raining heavily, and he's coming back late." Yu Zhu still spoke softly, to see who was disgusted by whom arrive.

Mrs. Gong paused for a moment, squinted her eyes, raised her feet and walked into the house, and said as she walked, "According to what my younger siblings said, the sister-in-law is not going to sleep or eat well, but the uncle often goes to the north to make inspections. We women There are many things that can be done at home.”

"If the emperor's death is not worthy of my sister-in-law's alarm, then I really want to say something I admire." Yu Zhu smiled slightly, grabbed Xie's sleeve, her eyes sparkled: "Old lady, do you think so?"

Mrs. Gong, who was blocked, had to stand still beside her, and said wrongly to Mrs. Xie: "Who said I don't worry anymore, but the old lady's body is more important. The daughter-in-law thinks that it is humid and cold today, and the cold is invading. She is afraid of you." Unable to bear it, I specially ordered the kitchen to make old ginger and pepper soup. I was afraid that the servant girl would hit it accidentally, so I sent it myself."

After finishing speaking, he took out a sand jar from the huanghuali food box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Old lady, let's drink it while it's hot. At least let the daughter-in-law do her filial piety and protect herself so that the father-in-law, the uncle and the second man can drink it." rest assured."

Mrs. Xie frowned, and didn't want to drink this kind of thing, but Mrs. Gong kept stretching out her hand, with a slightly flattering and expectant expression on her face. Yuzhu looked at it from a close distance and was surprised. She had never seen such crystal clear water. Pure Gong.Mrs. Xie also felt dazed for a moment, sighed softly, and asked Mama Yang to take it over. Mama Yang raised the bowl a little, lowered her head for a moment, her eyes flashed with relief, and she was about to hand the bowl to Xie. Shi.

Feeling the tightness of her sleeves, Yu Zhu stretched out her arms and took the bowl, like a little daughter-in-law competing with her sister-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, she pouted and said, "Let me blow it up for you, although I want to drink it while it's hot, but it's also worth it." It's too hot." Turned sideways and blew directly towards Xie's mother.

This time Gong's complexion was ugly, but she still suppressed her displeasure and smiled at Yu Zhu: "Second brother and sister, stop making trouble, it's right to be hot, otherwise how can we keep out the cold?"

From the corner of Yuzhu's eyes, she saw Ruan's mother covering Xie's mother and looking around, so she started to be unreasonable without changing her expression: "Hot is not the same as hot, it hurts when it is too hot. Do you know how to write hot? Soup stand It is boiled on the fire and the meat is bubbling, and the meat is cooked, can this person still drink..." Yuzhu's ability to talk nonsense and speak a long series of words without a pause with his eyes open has not been wasted in his life, and he crackled Starting from the word hot, it extends to how to burn the most tender slices of meat without blinking your eyes.

Gong Shi tried to intervene several times but failed to find a chance, so she could only hold back her irritability and wait for her to finish speaking.

Finally, Yuzhu closed her mouth and took a deep breath.Gong's heart was shaken, and just when she was about to speak, she saw an evil smile on Yu Zhu's face, and before she had time to think why she was smiling, there was a burning pain on her face, as if something had been splashed on her eyes. It was so painful that I couldn't open it.

Yu Zhu dropped the bowl in her hand under the shocked gazes of maids and maids in the room, looked at Gong Shi who fell on the ground and screamed, and snorted coldly: "This is hot, do you feel it?"

After finishing speaking, without looking at Xie Shi's reaction, she nodded to Ruan's mother and Xie's mother, and ordered, "Tie it up."

Mother Xie had been prepared for a long time, she took out a hemp rope from her bosom, and together with Mother Ruan, tied Gong Shi firmly on the ground, Gong Shi kept screaming non-stop, Yu Zhu didn't stop her mouth , just took advantage of Gong's breathing space to interject: "Be louder."

After saying this, Mrs. Gong didn't dare to scream anymore, and twisted her body in surprise and uncertainty.

Yu Zhu wiped her face with a handkerchief, completely ignoring Gong's resentful eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Stop barking?"

Throwing off the veil and wiping your hands, it's disgusting.

Standing up to see that Mrs. Xie was completely shocked by the scene in front of her, she had no choice but to briefly explain: "Old lady, there is something wrong with this medicinal soup."

Only then did Mama Yang recover from the shock, and exclaimed: "Impossible, although the bowl of old ginger and Pixiang soup brought by the eldest wife has two more herbs than usual, but it is mainly nourishing, and there is no It is incompatible with the medicinal materials next to it."

"Eating Qianghuo together with the Kusu leaves in the teapot on the table will make you drowsy. People with insufficient energy will not only fall into lethargy but also become weak all over the body." Mother Xie stood behind Yuzhu with her hands down, explaining aloud.

Mother Yang gasped—the old lady had to take a bath before worshiping the Buddha, fast, and then drink a cup of tea made from bitter sage leaves.

This is an old habit of more than twenty years

At this time, a few women's screams could be heard clearly amidst the sound of rain outside the window, and the hearts of those who listened tensed.Yu Zhu stretched her hand into her sleeve, and the cold and hard feel of the dagger calmed her down a little. She knew it was too risky, and the martial arts of the second-class maids were only half-level, and they were fine with ordinary people. People are completely helpless.However, this situation does not allow her to use other methods at all... Yu Zhu gave Gong Shi a hard look, her eyes sank, revealing a ruthless look that did not match her tender and lovely appearance...

……

"Thorn—" The bamboo curtain was roughly lifted, and people rushed in, but the scene inside shocked them... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, click Your support is my greatest motivation.)
