first princess

Chapter 252: Seeking to usurp the throne (2)
Mrs. Yao was speechless.After leaving the flower hall, Mrs. Yao scolded Zhuge Xi and Feng Yanying face to face. Zhuge Xi and Feng Yanying knew they were wronged and didn't dare to talk back, so they let their mother-in-law scold them until Mrs. Yao got tired of scolding and returned home with their sleeves. The two followed in desperation.Zhuge Xi wanted to have a private chat with Shui Linglong, and Feng Yanying wanted to visit Dong Jialin, but both of them were afraid to speak because of their mother-in-law's anger.

The scandal of Dong Jialin and Xun Feng was not announced to the outside world. Everyone only knew that Dong Jialin was suddenly placed under house arrest. The specific reason is unknown, but there is a saying that she offended Qiao Hui and tried to harm Qiao Hui's child. punished her.

Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui came to the Bauhinia Courtyard with abundant supplements. The gatekeeper saw that it was the concubine, and bowed respectfully, "Blessed be the concubine! Bless the second young lady!"

Shui Linglong asked with a normal expression: "How is the situation? Is there any abnormal noise?"

The mother-in-law told the truth, "No, it has been very quiet from last night until now. I didn't hear anything being thrown or anyone crying."

Shui Linglong made a gesture, Zhifan took out three silver coins from her purse and stuffed them into the mother-in-law's hands, the mother-in-law thanked her happily, and Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui walked into the inner courtyard.

In the room, Dong Jialin was embroidering quietly, and Xing'er sat aside dejectedly, dividing the thread once and for all, "Auntie, what should we do?"

Dong Jialin kept moving her hands, and said casually: "Do whatever you want."

"Then what should I do?" Myolie asked.

Dong Jialin frowned, "There is always a way, and there is always a way. I escaped the fire yesterday. I don't believe that I will have no future if I survive a catastrophe!"

Shui Linglong pushed the door and entered, and said with a calm smile: "Yes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. Aunt Dong Jia has a bright future waiting for you!"

Dong Jialin looked sideways at the sound, was slightly taken aback, then got up and greeted the two of them, "The concubine, the second young mistress." Her tone was less gentle and naive, and more mature, as if overnight, she An indelible period has passed.

Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui sat down on the chairs, Myolie hurriedly went to the tea room to make tea and served it, Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui handed the presents to Myolie's hands one by one, when Myolie put down the presents, she brought them from Qiao Hui When he took out a bowl of dark soup from his food box, he asked suspiciously, "What is this, Second Young Mistress?"

Qiao Hui's eyes flashed, and she said with a sneer, "Oh, it's... the anti-fetal medicine." Shui Linglong wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief calmly.

Dong Jialin had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two of them, and smiled gently: "Thank you, Second Young Mistress, Second Young Mistress, regardless of the past, willing to treat me so kindly, I am extremely grateful."

Qiao Hui was a little disgusted with Dong Jialin's attitude and words, but she didn't know what she thought of, and she smiled embarrassedly, "It...it's nothing, I talked to the...jun king last night..." She glanced at Shui Linglong , and continued to bite the bullet: "It's all a family. Although the king of the county...is angry, he has no feelings for you at all. If you are willing to reform, I believe the king of the county will accept you."

Qiao Hui, you can't even lie!Dong Jialin clenched her plain hands tightly, and said with a smirk: "Second young lady is really a bodhisattva."

Qiao Hui picked up the teacup tremblingly, and spilled a few drops before drinking it.Shui Linglong held Qiao Hui's other hand, and said with a faint smile, "Aunt Dong Jia was frightened yesterday. This is the anti-fetal medicine made by Dr. Hu himself. Aunt Dong Jia should drink it while it's hot. There's nothing wrong with this world." Dear Kan'er, your cousin is the second young lady of the Yao family, and your elder brother is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the king of the county knows whether you should sell them some face."

Dong Jialin's eyes flickered, and she said, "I ate too much pastry just now, and my stomach is full, so I can drink it after the food is digested."

Shui Linglong blinked slowly, and said casually, "Xun Feng took Yao Xin away."

Dong Jialin's eyelashes trembled violently, Shui Linglong looked at her, and said with a half-smile: "Last night, Xun Feng tried to seize all kinds of property rights under the name of Zhuge's family, and fought with Zhuge Yu, but it's a pity that Xun Feng couldn't beat him. He ran away, but even if he escaped, he took Yao Xin away. People say, "Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes." Looking at Xun Feng and Yao Xin, I suddenly felt that this was wrong. Dong Jia Auntie, what do you think?"

Dong Jialin clenched her hands into fists, and it took her a lot of effort to squeeze out a bright smile, "Why does the concubine need to provoke me? I didn't do it voluntarily. I was deceived by his rhetoric and out of proportion."

Shui Linglong seemed to believe her words, and said with a calm smile: "That's good, I'm afraid you'll go astray and you won't be able to extricate yourself, but I'm worried for nothing. You should have heard about the last plum appreciation banquet, right? Organized. Yao Xin was the champion of the martial arts test at that time. Her outstanding demeanor has won the hearts of many children. Xun Feng is one of them. It's just that marriage is never up to him, so Xun Feng had no choice but to accept Shui Lingxi As a side concubine, but because of Yao Xin, he never married the main concubine."

Dong Jialin's face became paler. She admitted that she first fell in love with the infatuated Han Muhua, but after getting to know him slowly, she found that the talented and powerful Xun Feng was more attractive, so she fell into it without hesitation.She has pure admiration for the king of the county, and crazy love and admiration for Xun Feng. Shui Linglong's words are undoubtedly like a basin of cold water full of ice poured on her head and face, and even her toes are frozen Living.

Shui Linglong didn't seem to notice her strangeness, and continued to murmur: "Fortunately, lovers will get married. Although I hate Xun Feng, I like Yao Xin, so in my heart, I hope Yao Xin will be happy." She said with a smile His eyes fell on Dong Jialin's stomach, "The next time I see Yao Xin, maybe she will give birth to Xun Feng's eldest son."

Dong Jialin took a breath, "You..."

Shui Linglong smiled, "I'm not cursing you for not having a son or for conceiving a daughter. You must know that when Xun Feng left, he didn't know that you were pregnant with his child. Anyway, you betrayed the county king once, and you can still be pregnant." Betray Xun Feng once."

"I'm originally a member of the county king. The concubine, don't deliberately bring me and Xun Feng together." These few words were almost gritted out between teeth.

Shui Linglong brushed off her skirt, and said lightly, "That's what I actually meant, Aunt Dong Jia, don't think too much, after this hurdle, live a good life with the county king. Xiaohui, let's go."

Qiao Hui put down the teacup, looked at Dong Jialin with a complicated expression, and also looked at the soup on the table, and left the Bauhinia Courtyard with Shui Linglong.

As soon as the two left, Dong Jialin leaned back on the chair.

Xing'er hurriedly picked up the almost cold soup, and persuaded: "Auntie, is it not feeling well? Hurry up and drink the anti-fetal medicine, it will make you feel better, Second Young Mistress often drinks it."

Dong Jialin pushed away the soup bowl, "Where is this an anti-abortion drug? This is clearly an abortion drug!"

Xing'er was shocked, "Ah, how did this happen? Could such a kind person as Second Young Mistress do such a crazy thing?"

Dong Jialin touched her forehead helplessly, "Of course the second young lady can't do it, but don't forget, there is Shui Linglong beside her, this is probably Shui Linglong's idea."

Xing'er was puzzled, "Auntie, why is your pregnancy hindering the Crown Princess?"

Dong Jialin put down her hands, her eyes became complicated, "As long as I have a tire slip, I can't kill or cut them casually!" First, Qiao Hui seduced her by renewing the old friendship with Prince An, and then Shui Linglong took Yao Xin and Xun Feng's Isn't the purpose of husband and wife's emotional stimulation of her is to hope that she will give birth to the fetus in her womb?

Xing'er also turned the corner, and after thinking for a while, she said solemnly: "Auntie! Mr. Xun has been exposed, and both the Zhuge family and the Yao family will be at odds with him. He can't fight alone, and he can't fight against the two great families! You might as well listen After the second young lady's persuasion, forget about the past and the past, and live a happy life with the county king!" After speaking, he gave a few points of the decoction in his hand forward.

"Reconciled with the king? You are so naive!" Dong Jialin was so stimulated by the heat that she vomited into the spittoon again, wiped her mouth, and sneered, "The king won't look at it until I have done nothing wrong. I have two eyes, now that I have made a mistake, it is even more impossible for the county king to accept me." He glanced at Tangyao again, "Pour it out."

She believed that with Xun Feng's ability, she would never lose to Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu, but Shui Linglong's last words did touch her heart. She believed in Xun Feng's ability, and at the same time believed in Xun Feng's paranoia. For a long time, what should Xun Feng do if he doesn't recognize this child?This is her only reliance, she must find a way!

However, in the court, when Zhuge Yu was about to submit a memorial to expose Xun Feng's crimes of pretending to be Mu Hua, defrauding the Zhenbei Palace and attempting to seize the palace's property, Yao Xin and Yao Cheng's father, Yao Qingfeng, submitted the memorial for Xun Feng's vindication earlier. Claiming that Xun Feng never colluded with the late Concubine De to steal the treasure map, everything was deliberately framed.In order to prove Xun Feng's innocence, Yao Qingfeng even showed a witness, who claimed that he had a close relationship with Xiao Anzi, who was under Concubine De, and that this treasure map was what he wanted to steal. It was originally intended to be hidden in a carriage in Shuilingxi In the middle, wait until halfway to plagiarize, but Shui Linglong will see through it halfway, and then accidentally hit and killed Xun Feng.

Yun Li asks who is the real culprit behind the scenes.The man replied that the real culprit was the late Concubine De, who wanted to use this method to transfer the treasure map, and he was only Concubine De's executioner.

There are many doubts about the treasure map. It was the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager who forcibly convicted the late Concubine De and Xun Feng. In fact, even Yun Li himself did not believe that Xun Feng would do such a stupid thing.But the problem is, Xun Feng was the case judged by the Supreme Emperor. Wouldn't he be questioning the justice of the Supreme Emperor by overturning Xun Feng's case?This violates filial piety.After discussing with the queen mother, Yunli issued an order to call Xun Feng back to Beijing to retry the case.

Concubine Yan's father and brother and Zhuge Yu Qiqi opposed Yunli's approach, thinking that Xun Feng was a villain who was best at confusing the public, and hoped that Yunli would withdraw his order.Zhuge Yu even considered exposing Xun Feng's deliberate disguising of Mu Hua, but remembering that both Leng Youru and Shui Linglong knew the truth, fearing that Xun Feng would accuse them of being accomplices, Zhuge Yu changed his mouth and said that Xun Feng was controlled by witchcraft lost memory.

In this way, the news of Xun Feng's "resurrection from the dead" caused a sensation in the capital, overshadowing the entanglement between Shangguan Qian and Leng Youru in an instant, and the two got a few days of peace temporarily.

In the Leng Mansion, brother Hao was taking a bath in the clean room, and Leng Youru was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch reading a script. She was nearly five months pregnant, and her fetal movements were more frequent than when Huai Yan was a child, which made her hardly able to concentrate on reading.

Cen'er came in with a glass of milk, and reported the news that Shui Linglong ordered someone to bring one by one, "The concubine said that it was Dong Jialin who pretended to be Shangguan Qian, and bought off the rumors spread by the little beggar."

Leng Youru hummed lightly, and Cen'er said again: "Then, the matter of Xun Feng was exposed, and the official said that he was controlled by witchcraft with his memory, so he entered the palace disguised as Mu Hua, and with the help of Yao Xin, After a while, he gradually regained his memory, and now the two of them went on a trip together.” He glanced at the direction of the clean room and lowered his volume, “The truth is that Xun Feng took Yao Xin abducted in order to protect Yao Xin’s name. The Yao family did their best to rehabilitate Xun Feng."

Leng Youru rubbed her stomach, and said lightly: "Don't tell Brother Hao just yet."

Cen'er nodded, "Yes." After a pause, he asked again: "Are you really not considering going back to the palace?"

Leng Youru rubbed her sore eyes, "Let's talk."

During the conversation, there was another quarrel outside the courtyard, Leng Youru frowned, "Close the window!"

It was Mrs. Leng and Leng Chengkun who were arguing fiercely, "Why? She killed my daughter and I still have to provide her with food and drink! Do you want Wei'er to be unable to rest in peace even under the nine springs?"

Leng Chengkun supported his forehead, with a troubled expression on his face, "No, Wei'er wants to take that kind of anti-abortion medicine by herself. Wei'er is a mother, and she wants to protect her own child."

Mrs. Leng persisted, "Then she shouldn't have given Wei Er such a domineering drug! No, she shouldn't have plotted against Wei Er and Yao Cheng in the first place!"

Leng Chengkun sighed: "It's all my fault. I was obsessed with sex and lost the antidote, which killed Yan'er. She was resentful and did something stupid to Wei'er. I admit that she has hurt Wei'er." , but I am even more of a jerk, and if this matter really needs to be pursued, we will be even more unreasonable."

Madam Leng was so wronged that she burst into tears, "If you are half as infatuated as your father, why did you get tricked by some kind of envoy from Kashiqing?"

Leng Chengkun hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, don't blame my sister, okay?"

The relationship between Mrs. Leng and Leng Chengkun after marriage is also good. Leng Chengkun has a concubine, but no concubine and concubine. Thinking that even a fairy-looking woman like Leng Youru can't monopolize her husband, Mrs. Leng feels psychological The balance is a bit better, but I still can't make any concessions on Leng Wei's issue, "But it's an indisputable fact that she killed Wei'er! Even if I don't seek revenge from her, I don't want a female enemy to live at home!"

Leng Chengkun took out an egg from his bosom, "Look, what is this?"

"Eggs!"

"wrong!"

Mrs. Leng was taken aback for a moment, and Leng Chengkun said seriously: "These are countless chickens."

Madam Leng was still in a daze.

Leng Chengkun analyzed carefully, "Eggs hatch chickens, chickens lay eggs, eggs hatch chickens again, chickens lay eggs...do you understand?"

"Uh..." Mrs. Leng couldn't understand.

Leng Chengkun changed his expression, "Let me tell you this, you think I killed Yan'er, but actually I killed my sister's hundred sons and grandchildren. So, I owe her."

Madam Leng blinked her eyelashes quickly, "Then... according to what you said, we Wei'er can also have children, and we can have hundreds of sons and grandchildren."

"Wrong again!" Leng Chengkun said solemnly, "Yao Cheng is a rooster that looks for Zhuge Xi, and others have no chance to mate with him."

Mrs. Leng... dumbfounded...

In November, the weather is getting colder.

At noon, the maid from the dining room delivered meals to the Bauhinia Courtyard as usual, "Auntie, this is your meal for today, four meat, two vegetables and one soup."

Dong Jialin glanced calmly at the food box that the maid put on the table, and smiled gently: "I'm sorry, please sit down and have a cup of tea. I just have something to ask you for advice."

The servant girl is new here and doesn't know much about the rules in the mansion. She bowed her body respectfully, "Auntie has something to ask, and this slave girl will know everything without saying a word."

Seeing that she was afraid to sit down, Dong Jialin didn't force her, just smiled softly and said: "I don't know much about food, so I just want to ask what can crabs be eaten with? Isn't it autumn, it's the season to eat crabs. "

The maid smiled honestly and honestly, "This servant is a novice, and I haven't learned such advanced things. I will go back to the dining room later and ask the lady in charge. Next time, it will be the servant's turn to deliver the food to you. The servant will tell you the answer. You see how?"

Dong Jialin looked at her with a smile, but glanced behind her from the corner of her eye, "It's so good, just remember, I like these kinds of kimchi, you can bring some for me next time, radish, cabbage, green pepper, bitter melon ..."

boom!The servant girl fell to the ground in response, but it was Xing'er who knocked her unconscious with a wooden stick.It was Xing'er's first time doing this kind of thing, her legs were shaking with fright, Dong Jialin didn't give in, she touched her stomach, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, "Hurry up... take off her clothes!"

"Oh, good!" Xing'er swallowed her saliva, and according to Dong Jialin's instructions, she quickly took off her maid's clothes and put them on for Dong Jialin. After the bell, the new gatekeeper will come here, so hurry up, Auntie! The carriage is at the alley at the east corner."

Dong Jialin looked at Xing'er seriously, "Don't worry, if I become successful in the future, I will definitely be a blessing to you."

Xing'er picked up the stick, bit her lips, "If the servant has a chance to live, I will definitely wait for the day when my aunt flies up to the branch!" After finishing speaking, she hit her head with a stick, blood overflowed, and she fell to the ground .

Dong Jialin tied up her hair in a bun, lowered a little to conceal her face, and then left without looking back.Little did she know, the moment she stepped out of the Bauhinia Courtyard, the drunk woman opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear.

"Dong Jialin escaped? Are you sure?" In the Mohe courtyard, Shui Linglong asked in doubt after hearing the report from the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper woman patted her chest and said: "Because you told the servant in advance to pay attention to all the abnormal behaviors of my aunt and Xing'er, so when Xing'er brought wine to honor the servant, the servant pretended to drink it, but in fact it was all covered with handkerchiefs, and the aunt was wearing it. The clothes of the dining room maid escaped not through the front door, but through the back door where food and goods are usually delivered."
