First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 16

"master."

"What? Do you feel sorry for her?"

The corner of Mrs. Tuoba Tai's mouth curled up, her fingernails covered with carmine were as bright red as blood.

Because of her practice, Mrs. Tuobatai, who is nearly fifty years old, looks extremely young, people who don't know her age will think that she is only forty.

She likes bright colors, especially in red, coupled with her fiery aura, few others have the guts to say no to her.

"You forgot, how did my son die?" Mrs. Tuobatai said with a little anger on her face, "It's all caused by the bastards of Daxia. They will never be of one mind with Zhaodi! My son finally died. Protecting Zeng Rou, how can I allow her to confuse Zhao's overlord again?",

"The ancestors of the Gu family killed their sons with poison for generations in order to maintain the lineage of the Gu family. I only recognize Zhao Digui as the grandson!"

"Master." As he spoke, he knelt down at Mrs. Tuobatai's feet, "I dare not speak too much, but my servant sees that the princess is completely different from before, she is very similar to you, master."

"Shut up!"

Mrs. Tuobatai felt a chill in her heart, it turned out that it was not her illusion, after looking for a successor for half her life, she never thought that Zeng Rou was the most suitable person for her sect!

How could this embarrass her?How could she forget that her son died one after another at the hands of the concubine Huashi, plus the blood feud between the people of Zhaodi and Daxia?
The reason why she insisted on getting rid of Zeng Rou was that she was worried that the further the future, the more variables would become, and the more she couldn't bear to do it!

Mrs. Tuobatai rolled her eyes, "She deserves to be like me? You don't need to say any more, I would rather cut off the master's knowledge than Zeng Rou. She is the biggest change in the Zhao Palace! It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

"Yes, master."

At night, in the dead of night, the stars in the sky are shining, and there is a faint sound of knocking on the window outside the window.Zeng Rou got up from the bed, put on the outer cedar, held a candle in her hand, and quietly walked towards the room where her son was placed.

Pushing open the door, Zeng Rou came to the warm kang with a few steps, lifted the quilt, and Gu Tingrui who was holding a book was exposed in front of Zeng Rou's eyes, the bright candlelight flickered so hard that he couldn't take his eyes off, his pale face was stiff, "Mother .”

Zeng Rou put the candlestick aside and sat on the edge of the kang, "The Doctrine of the Mean, this book is quite profound, it's not easy for a young grader to understand the Doctrine of the Mean, tell me with your mother, what is in this book?"

Gu Tingrui shrank his body and lowered his head, "Mom, I was wrong."

His slender arm like a reed stick held Zeng Rou's sleeve, and Zeng Rou's eyes turned red for a moment, "You are right, it was me who was wrong! It was only now that I found out that you stayed up late to read."

"I want to grow up quickly so that I can protect my mother." Gu Tingrui slipped into Zeng Rou's arms, "Is it okay not to be angry with my son? I won't dare to stay up late to read books in the future."

Zeng Rou stroked his son's yellow hair, "There are only our mother and son in this cross-court, who can stop you from studying? Brother Rui, you can do whatever you want in the future, and you don't have to look at other people's faces anymore. Toffee and others think, you can show your talent and wisdom to your heart's content."

"But……."

"No but." Zeng Rou touched his son's forehead with his forehead, "Leave the rest to me! No one can hurt you in front of me."

Zeng Rou's heart aches for the talented child who insists on pretending to be a fool.

Lying beside Gu Tingrui, after covering the quilt, Zeng Rou let her son nestle in her arms, "Tell me. Who taught you?"

Feeling the warmth from his mother, Gu Tingrui curled up into a ball, was he dreaming?I really hope that the dream will not wake up, and the brows and eyes will unfold comfortably, "It's the eldest aunt."

Such as?Toffee Concubine Huashi decides to marry a Daxia girl who came in again. I heard that her natal family has no one, and she is a distant relative of Huashi's natal family. Within three days of Rushi's marriage, Toffee Concubine Huashi's son-in-law died. The attitude towards Ru Shi is very bad.

Ru Shi seemed to be a transparent person in the Gu family of King Zhao's Mansion.

"She quietly taught her son that she could hide it from the concubine."

Zeng Rou patted her son on the back, "Hurry up tomorrow, I will go thank her."

No matter what Ru's purpose is, she provided Gu Tingrui with a way to survive when the original owner couldn't see her son, and Zeng Rou would like to thank her,

But Zeng Rou couldn't help thinking that the reason for her doing this was just to pity Gu Tingrui?Or is there another purpose?

Now Concubine Fahrenheit's baby, Brother Jue, was not born to Rushi. He was left by the last wife who had a difficult delivery. Brother Jue ignored her, so she wanted to help Brother Rui?
A key link was missing, Zeng Rou slowly closed her eyes, the reasoning process was missing a key link!Ru Shi is also one of the people who needs to be paid attention to, Zeng Rou has made a note of Ru Shi in his heart.

Don't look at Concubine Fahrenheit who was born in Daxia, for the sake of Brother Jue, she is more hopeful than Taifu Tuoba for the death of Zeng Rou's mother and son!

This is also one of the reasons why the noble daughters of Daxia have been folded in Zhao's land for generations. They are not in the same heart, and it is difficult to lead the team.

The man from the Gu family took advantage of the woman's jealousy and revenge to make the women who also came from Daxia hate each other, thus ensuring that the concubine would succeed to the throne.

The corners of Zeng Rou's mouth curled up strangely, Mrs. Tuoba Tai might not be in a hurry.

In the early morning, Zeng Rou scooped up Gu Tingrui and led him for a walk in the yard, holding Gu Tingrui's little hand, Zeng Rou said, "Don't run around."

Gu Tingrui raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "Is there something wrong? Mother means that I won't let me listen to other people's provocations."

"Little slicker." Zeng Rou flexed her fingers and flicked Gu Tingrui's forehead, and smiled: "King Zhao became a beauty when he rushed to the crown in the capital. Don't look at Daxia sending troops to chase and intercept King Zhao, but the situation in Zhao is already established, so don't take it lightly. Disposal. Zhao's army is strong and strong, and the soldiers and horses are ready to go, and they may send troops south at any time. On the other hand, the young master of Daxia is assisted by the Queen Mother and the auxiliary ministers. The Empress Dowager is unwilling to completely turn against Zhao Di, and the Empress Dowager cannot suppress the arrogance of General Zhuge Yun, the head of the auxiliary ministers."

"However, if the king of Zhao is allowed to make trouble in the capital, what is the majesty of the court? If the monarchs and ministers of Da Xia have any brains, they will send envoys to Zhao to ask if someone is pretending to be King Zhao and making trouble in the capital! Xia can explain the past. Zhao Di's troubles are not resolved now, so it is not a good time to send troops."

"What does mother mean by troubles?"

"Excuses, excuses for sending troops to calm down, if there is no justifiable excuse, Zhao Di will not be able to face the accusations from all sides. When Daxia destroyed Zhaodi, the head of the Gu family swore with blood that the descendants will always be loyal to the Daxia court and stay at the border forever." If the Gu family hadn't produced a beautiful man who killed his wife and son to marry Princess Daxia, the Gu family would have been exterminated long ago."

The Gu family, who looked better than Pan An and Song Yu, fascinated Princess Daxia. The Gu family gave gifts and begged for mercy, and ensured that all generations would accept the marriage gift from the monarch of Daxia, and thus preserved a bloodline in Zhaodi.

Gu Tingrui said: "Mother is afraid that I will go to see the Daxia envoy? Isn't it?"

"Son, we are in Zhaodi. The court envoys can't help us. Why should you be used to make Zhaodi people hostile to you!" Zeng Rou touched his son's little head, "Son, you are from Zhaodi because of your paternal blood. Although the Daxia court is not your enemy, it is not your relatives either. Don’t listen to the concubine, what made Zhao Di surrender to Daxia, Daxia will take you back in a good manner! I have never seen General Zhuge Yun , but listen to him, he is definitely not someone who surrenders to the young master!"

"Zhuge Yun?" Gu Tingrui wrote down the name.

He is from Zhao, and also from the Great Xia court!

A team of horses galloped on the pipeline, and it was the scepter of the Great Xia court to open the way.

"My lord, Yanjing is ahead!"

The guard sitting on the horse nodded, looking at the majestic Yanjing City, a smile appeared on his dark face, "Yanjing, a good place!"

Pedestrians in Zhao's land avoided the court's scepters and envoys, but there was a horse team that crossed the season and went straight to Yanjing City.

The court envoy who was sent to Zhao's land changed his face, and glanced at the guards beside him, "My lord?"

"You are an adult, and this subordinate obeys your orders." The black-faced guard's smile grew stronger, and only the guards at the city gate shouted: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang!"

The people of Zhao land knelt down and shouted: "Long live the prince! Long live the prince!"

In Zhao Land, King Zhao is their god and ruler!

The guard stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's interesting, it's really interesting!"
