The rain was heavier, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a dark curtain of water.
The three men from Cheng Guogong's Mansion have not yet returned.
It didn't take long for me to hear that someone from the Shenji Battalion had come and was ordered to protect the safety of the Guogong Mansion.
At this time, the hearts of everyone in the house are settled, although there are not many people who can spare their hands to guard, but at this time, it can always make people feel more at ease.
The maid mothers in the house are all frightened, and the women in the back house are smart and intelligent, but all they can do in this huge struggle for the transition of state power is to pray and wait silently.
Yuzhu endured his worries about Deyuan and slowly sorted out the recent events in his mind.
In terms of strength, it is difficult for the fifth prince to compare with the fourth prince, so under normal circumstances, the possibility of him winning in the struggle for the throne is extremely small, which can be seen by anyone who knows a little bit about court politics.
But the victory and defeat that were divided very early, why didn't the five princes rein in the precipice, lest they have nowhere to settle in the new dynasty after the defeat, it is impossible to rely on the dead soldiers, you must know that although the dead soldiers are not afraid of death, assassination and kidnapping or something are very powerful, but their intolerance to the world is destined to be impossible to compare with the elite army trained by the imperial court with a large sum of money, so unless the five princes and his staff are not stupid, the dead soldiers are definitely not his hole cards.
Since he dares not to give an inch, it means that either the power that can make him absolutely turn the tables and succeed has not been used, or he has the intention of becoming benevolent if he does not succeed and is unwilling to die to be subservient to others, but the possibility of the latter is really unlikely, because as long as it does not hinder the prince of the new emperor's succession, the identity of a prince cannot run away, even if he is an idle clan with no real power, he can also be stable and rich for a lifetime To talk about hole cards, Yuzhu unconsciously clenched his fists, and tried his best to spread his thoughts: until Emperor Ming Hui died, all the strength accumulation of the two princes stopped, and began to collide Where did the five princes come from, and the confidence to reverse the advantages of the four princes Unless a brave army descends from heaven to control the Jingshi by force, the forces controlled by the four princes before will completely lose their meaning, anyway, the history books are always written by the king, and the loser is a rebel, and the winner is the emperor.
This is the only chance for the five princes.
But where did the army come from, the army stationed outside did not have the emperor's will, that is, there were regulations on how far away from the capital, and it was impossible to be involved in the battle for the storage position, they were the safest, only obeyed the emperor, and only recognized the emperor's military talisman in their eyes.
The prince can't do it, come back when you become the emperor Then only the Shenji Battalion stationed in the suburbs of Beijing remained, but the Shenji Battalion secretly seemed to have stood in line, Yuzhu suddenly felt a little uneasy, she Huo Ran stood up, rushed into the inner room and took out a dagger from the secret compartment under the bed board of the stepping bed, when Cui's grandfather gave her a hand, Cui's also prepared Yuzhu for self-defense, this is the difference between military generals and Wenchen, Wenchen always prepares to find his colleagues when he encounters danger, while military generals are not, just like on the battlefield, they are used to relying on themselves.
His hand gently slid from the handle of the dagger inlaid with pearls all the way to the tip of the glittering knife, Yuzhu slowly exhaled a breath, resolutely reached out to hold it, and took out a tight palm-sized brocade bag from the carved closet and put it in his arms, turned around and walked out the door.
Hua Zhen was in a hurry, "Madam, it's raining so heavily outside, where are you going?"
An unintentional sentence reminded Yuzhu, and he ran over to make people think about it and hurriedly ordered: "You go and get me a cloak, prepare it again, bring a few of our capable people, and I will hurry to the old lady's yard." ” Here you can see the results of Yuzhu's usual discipline, although Hua Zhen really couldn't understand why the master had to go out here, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, and trotted Zhang Luo away.
In Siqian Hall, Xie was worshipping the Buddha, and the sandalwood in front of the exquisite Buddha shrine was bursting, and when he saw Yuzhu coming, he stood up with some surprise.
In the past, the old lady would never stop halfway to worship the Buddha, and even if someone came, she had to finish her homework before talking to someone, and she would definitely not be able to concentrate on it at this time.
"What are you doing here, the woman's body is drenched in the rain, I don't know" Xie Shi was a little unhappy, and his tone was much stricter than before, and Mother Yang went to pour hot tea for Yuzhu with a lot of eyes.
Taking the cotton towel from the maid and wiping the slightly damp sideburns, Yuzhu pointed to his clothes and smiled: "Don't worry, don't you think I'm good?"
"Yo, second brother and sister, why are you here too."
Gong's brisk laughter came from the door, and then a fair woman wearing a plain gown walked in, her eyebrows and eyes full of smiles.
Yuzhu quietly glanced at his mother, then lowered his head and said softly: "The second master hasn't returned home yet, so I want to ask the old lady when the second master will come back." ” Gong said with a smile: "Some time ago, the second brother and sister dealt with the subordinates and reformulated the rules of the hospital, but it was a great courage, and my sister-in-law thought that you were very assertive, but now it is just that the second brother is returning late, how can I bother the old lady again." ” "The second master is the concubine's body, even if he coughs, he will feel distressed, not to mention that there is such a big thing outside, heavy rain and late return."
Yuzhu still whispered softly, to see who was disgusted by whom.
Gong paused slightly, squinted his eyes, raised his feet and walked into the house, and said as he walked: "According to my brother and sister, that sister-in-law is not going to sleep and eat, but the uncle often goes to the north to inspect, and our women's family can also do many things." ” "If the emperor's death is not worthy of my sister-in-law's shock, then I really want to say a word of admiration."
Yuzhu smiled slightly, pulled Xie Shi's sleeve, and his eyes were shining: "Old lady, do you say yes?"
” Gong, who was blocked, had to stand still next to him, and said aggrievedly to Xie: "Who said I don't worry anymore, but the old lady's body is more important, the daughter-in-law thought that this day was damp and cold, and the cold invaded people, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to stand it, so I specially ordered the kitchen to boil the old ginger and long-incense soup."
I was afraid that the maid would not be careful, so I specially sent it in person. ” After that, he took out a sand can from the Huanghuali food box that was single-bumped, and said with a smile: "The old lady should drink it while it's hot, so that the daughter-in-law can do her filial piety and protect her body so that the father-in-law and the uncle can rest assured." ” Xie Shi frowned, he didn't want to drink this kind of thing, but Gong's hand was stretched out, with a little flattering and expectant look on his face, Yuzhu looked at it up close and was surprised in his heart, how could he have seen such a crystal pure Gong.
Xie Shi also had a moment of apprehension, sighed softly, and asked Yang's mother to take it, Yang's mother raised the bowl higher, bowed her head slightly, and her eyes flashed relaxed, and she was about to hand over the bowl to Xie.
Yuzhu felt that his sleeves tightened, and he took the bowl as soon as his arm stretched out, like a little daughter-in-law competing with her sister-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, pouting and saying, "I'll help you blow it, although you have to drink it while it's hot, but it's too hot."
"Leaned sideways and blew straight to Mother Xie's side.
Gong's face was not good-looking at this time, but he still endured his unhappiness and smiled at Yuzhu: "Second brother and sister, don't make trouble, it's just hot, otherwise how to drive away the cold" Yuzhu Yuguang saw that Ruan's mother was covering and looking around, so she began to be unreasonable without changing her face: "Scalding and heat are different, it will hurt when it is hot."
Do you know how to write hot, the soup rack is bubbling on the fire, and the meat is cooked, can this person still drink it" The ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open and say a long list of words without pause Yuzhu has not been abandoned for a lifetime, and it starts with the word hot, and it is extended to how to scald the most tender slices of meat, and his eyes don't blink.
Gong Shi tried to interject several times but didn't find a chance, so he had to endure his irritability and wait for her to finish.
It was easy for Yuzhu to close his mouth and take a deep breath.
Gong's heart perked, and as soon as he wanted to speak, he saw an evil smile on Yuzhu's face, and before she could think about why she was laughing, there was a hot pain on her face, as if she had been splashed with something, and her eyes hurt so much that she couldn't open them.
Yuzhu dropped the bowl in his hand under the shocked gaze of the maid in the house, looked at Gong who fell to the ground and screamed, and snorted coldly: "This is hot, do you feel it?"
” Without looking at Xie's reaction, Chong Ruan's mother nodded and reconciled with her mother, and ordered, "Tie it up." ” Mother Xie was prepared, took out a hemp rope from her arms, and worked with Ruan's mother to tie Gong on the ground strongly, Gong kept screaming, Yuzhu didn't gag her mouth, just took advantage of Gong's ventilation and interjected: "Louder." ” Gong didn't dare to scream anymore, and twisted his body in disbelief.
Yuzhu wiped her face clean with a handkerchief, completely ignoring Gong's resentful eyes, and asked coldly, "Don't scream" It's disgusting to throw away the handkerchief and wipe your hands.
Standing up and seeing that Xie Shi was completely shocked by the scene in front of him, he had to explain briefly: "Old lady, there is something wrong with this medicinal soup." ” Mother Yang came back from the shock and exclaimed: "Impossible, although the bowl of old ginger long-incense soup sent by the eldest lady has more herbs than usual, it is mainly nourishing, and it does not contradict the medicinal herbs next to it." ” "Qiang Huo and the bitter Su leaves in the teapot on the table will be drowsy when eaten, and people with insufficient vitality are not only easy to fall into a coma, but also have weakness all over the body."
Mother Xie stood behind Yuzhu with her hands down and explained loudly.
Mother Yang gasped for air, and the old lady had to bathe and purify herself before worshipping the Buddha, fast, and then drink a cup of tea made from Kusu leaves.
It's been an old habit for more than 20 years At this time, a few women's screams were clearly heard from the sound of rain outside the window, and the hearts of those who listened were nervous.
Yuzhu put her hand into her sleeve, the cold and hard touch of the dagger calmed her down a little, she knew that this was too risky, a few second-class maids' martial arts were only half-baked, and it was okay to deal with ordinary people, in case she met someone who was more powerful, she would be completely helpless.
However, this situation did not allow her to use other methods Yuzhu glared at Gong fiercely, her eyes sank, revealing a ruthless color that did not match her tender and cute appearance The "thorn" bamboo curtain was rudely lifted, followed by someone pouring in, but the scene inside stunned them gd1806102:
