First Concubine

Chapter 143 Mother and son recognize each other (4)

"Tu Fei Yuan" was the boss. He stood in the most obvious position and asked with a smile: "I am their leader. If you follow me, you will be Mrs. Yazhai. Little lady, just obey me!" "

"Brother! That's not what you said!" "Goatee", the second eldest brother, looked at him provocatively, "Brother, you already have three ladies in the village, and the backyard is so full, where is the place for this girl to live? "

 “Me me me! I don’t have a wife!”

“Me too! Not only have I never married a wife, I’ve never even touched a woman!”

 Everyone started arguing.

The third princess struck while the iron was hot: "It won't lead to any quarrels between you, why not imitate that green forest hero and compete with each other to get a wife! Whoever can stand in the end, we sisters will imitate Ehuang Nvying and work together to become a husband!"

 Bronze's face turned pale instantly...

"Goat Beard" glanced sideways at "Tu Fei Yuan". He has been coveting the position of the leader of the other side's village for a long time. As long as he is killed during the chaos, the entire village will be his! He decisively jumped one meter away and said loudly: "What a proposal! I'm afraid of my mother-in-law, so I won't participate in your marriage competition. I will be the referee! Whoever wins will get the beauty!"

 Are you kidding? I am recharging my strength and you are covered with injuries. When only the last one is left, who will be my opponent?

"Tufeiyuan" smiled smugly: "Boy, you have to watch carefully!"

After saying that, he dropped the guy in his hand, raised his fist and hit the person behind him!

Everyone also threw away their machetes and joined the battle with their bare hands.

The third princess watched and shouted: "Ah! Come on! You are so amazing! Who...what's your name? Yes! It's you! The one in green!"

"My name is -" Before he could finish his words, someone gave him an uppercut and sent him to hell.

The third princess gradually grasped the rules. Whoever she "favored" would become the target of public criticism. After being beaten so many times, she fainted and fell down. Only "Tu Fei Yuan" was left to survive to the end with her excellent skills. After all, he had received a lot of punches, and he was drowsy and staggering around as if he was drunk: "Little...little lady, come back with me!"

A cold light flashed in "Goatee's" triangular eyes, he stepped forward to support "Tu Fei Yuan", and at lightning speed, he pierced the poisonous needle hidden between his fingers into "Tu Fei Yuan"'s body. "Tufeiyuan"'s body stiffened and he turned his head in disbelief, "Ah... you... you..."

 The third princess and Bronze took a breath of cold air, so... vicious!

"Goatee" stepped closer to her step by step, as if looking at an easily accessible prey, with unabashed greed and predatory eyes. He stood in front of the stone tablet and casually wiped the blood from his palm on the stone tablet, "Girl, you Should you jump off a cliff or just be my beautiful girl?"

Just as the third princess was hesitating how to answer his question, a gray shadow teleported behind him like lightning. The third princess' almond-shaped eyes widened and she almost screamed!

"Goatee" suddenly became alert, turned around and launched his killing move, but he was kicked off the cliff without even seeing the opponent's appearance clearly.

The third princess and Bronze were so frightened that they felt as if they were the ones in trouble!

The man was wearing gray monk attire and a bamboo hat. His face was obscured by a veil. Only the white bun peeking out from the top of his head could vaguely be inferred that he was in his forties. He is light, so light that he is like a tiny cloud in the sky, so misty that he has emerged from the dust; but he is also thick, walking step by step, squatting down little by little, making people feel that the air seems to be frozen inch by inch, and his breathing and movements are not as good as before. So smooth.

 Monks...seem to be...all good people, right?

The third princess thought so and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving me!"

Bronze knelt down and kowtowed.

The man ignored the third princess because he didn't save anyone. Someone soiled her tombstone and he just killed that person.

He knelt down in front of the stone tablet and gently wiped away the blood on the stone tablet with his clean sleeves and the snow.

The third princess bravely took a look at "The Tomb of My Beloved Wife Mingyan". Did this monk marry a wife when he was young?

Mingyan, I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but I can’t remember it at the moment.

“Princess, let’s go!” Bronze tugged on the sleeves of the third princess, thinking that it was very quiet but others could hear it.

The man wiped the tombstone with his hand and asked calmly: "Who are you, Queen Yao?"

The third princess was stunned. He must be a divine monk! How could you tell the relationship between the Queen Mother and her? The third princess bowed to Amitabha and said, "To be honest, Master, that is my mother."

The man turned to look at the third princess, and saw that a thicker and thicker layer of death was covering her head. Her life expectancy was less than a year!

He took out a yellow jade pendant strung with red thread from his arms, threw it at the third princess, and it happened to be around her neck. The third princess was shocked again, this... this... what?

The man said calmly: "To seek good luck and avoid bad luck, if you want to survive, don't take it off."

The third princess nodded dully. She didn’t know the monk, but she believed his words inexplicably!

The third princess and Bronze turned around and left. After walking a few steps, they heard a voice behind them that seemed to be ringing in their ears and reverberating from the horizon: "You can meet the people you want to see if you take the small road. There is no risk of thieves."

"Do you know who I'm looking for?" The third princess asked, turning around and looking in the direction of the tombstone, but... there was no one else there? God, wouldn't the monk also jump off the cliff?

In the small courtyard, Guo Yan looked at Shui Linglong with a silly smile. Shui Linglong nodded his forehead and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be clingy anymore. Go home first to tell Mrs. Guo that you are safe, and then go to the temple." Look, the third princess will go to the palace tomorrow morning to pay her respects to the emperor and empress."

Guo Yan noticed the worry that flashed inadvertently in Shui Linglong's eyes, and asked: "Did I cause you trouble? I'll go tell Zhuge Yu. Anyway, it was you who I kidnapped, and I am with you again." It doesn’t matter!”

Shui Linglong touched his skin that was very dry due to the wind and sand. It was like a dream. It still feels unreal: "No, he is very good to me and is not willing to be angry with me."

Guo Yan seems to believe it but not believes it, and wants to ask, "Is he treating you better than Xun Feng?" The words fell to his lips again. The two talked for half an hour, both of them deliberately avoiding anything related to Xun Feng. He nodded: "Okay, I'll take you back."

Shui Linglong stood up with a smile. She thought of something, stopped and said, "When you fought with the Dong clan in Mobei, did you massacre those innocent women, children and royal heirs?"

Guo Yan's face turned pale: "It's not me, it's him."

 He is the original owner of the body.

The two of them walked towards the door. Steward Yang from the yard came with a solemn look. He was not surprised when he saw Shui Linglong. After bowing to the two of them, he said: "Young master, it's not good. Eunuch Zhang is going to go." Guo Mansion wants someone!"

"You want someone? Who do you want?" Guo Yan frowned.

 “Third Princess!”

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were fierce: "Didn't the third princess go to the temple to pray for the emperor and empress? Who does Eunuch Zhang want from the Guo Mansion?"

Manager Yang answered her question respectfully: "In reply to Madam, the Empress was worried about the food and daily life of the third princess, so she specially sent Eunuch Zhang to send some warm quilts and high-quality pastries. At first, the 'princess' did not see him behind closed doors. , but Eunuch Zhang got the decree from the empress and had to see her well before she could be restored to life. So, the identity of the fake princess was exposed. Eunuch Zhang tortured several palace maids, only to find out that the three princesses left the temple on the first day of the new year. Counting the days...it's been four days...I said...I'm going to find the young master!"

 The princess of a country has been missing for four days. This is like a bolt from the blue! The third princess married into the Guo family and became the Guo family's daughter-in-law. If she disappeared, if she didn't ask the Guo family for her daughter-in-law, who would she ask for her?

Guo Yan was so angry that he took a big hand. A fierce woman knows how to cause trouble!

Shui Linglong calculated Guo Yan's itinerary, the army's return speed, and the traveling speed of ordinary carriages in her mind very quickly. She looked solemn and said, "Guo Yan, go back the way you came! Send another secret guard from the Guo Mansion to leave. Dao and the army join together to see if it is possible to encounter the third princess! But I guess the possibility is higher on the small road! "But the degree of danger is also high!

Guo Yan sent a carriage and capable guards to take Shui Linglong back to the palace, but he himself rode his horse back all night without taking any rest.

Shui Linglong got out of the carriage, and the guard saluted her. She nodded slightly, lifted up her skirt and was about to cross the threshold, when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind...it seemed like she was being called.

"Madam! Wait! I'm illiterate. I want to ask you if this is the Prince's Palace in Zhenbei?"

Shui Linglong retracted her stepped foot and turned around to look at the person who came. He was a twilight old man with a rosy face. He wore a gorgeous family bun and three or two gold hairpins that were not very finely made. His clothes were brand new. It looked like the style of the capital city, but her rustic outfit was incompatible with her dress... His exquisite eyes swept from her head to her feet, and he noticed that even though she was dressed neatly and had a hair full of hair, her pair of cloth shoes were extremely dirty.

 Shoes best reflect a woman’s taste.

Shui Linglong didn’t smile, wasn’t annoyed, and didn’t feel disgusted. She said politely: “This is the Zhenbei Prince’s Mansion. Who are you looking for, old man?”

The old man's bright eyes rolled around, he came closer to Shui Linglong, and stretched out his hand to grab Shui Linglong's arm: "Who are you?"

The guard waved his arm to stop the old man and scolded: "How dare you! How dare you be rude to the Crown Princess! I'll take you to see the official!"

 Have the old man ever seen such a posture? He was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground! But there was a weird smile on his face: "Prince Princess? Hahahaha..."

After returning to Mo Heyuan, Shui Linglong knew that Zhuge Yu had gone to the study. The door of the study was closed tightly. Shui Linglong stood at the door for a quarter of an hour. She didn't hear any sound except her even breathing. Shui Linglong's face softened a little and she went back. bedroom.

The earth dragon in the room was heating up, and a burst of hot air hit her face. Shui Linglong sneezed as the heat and cold alternated.

Mother Zhong's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang, served her hot tea, covered her legs with a mattress, took off her shoes and rubbed her cold feet carefully, and said with concern: "I heard that my uncle I went to pick you up, why didn’t I come back together?”

Shui Linglong took a sip of hot tea and swept her cold eyes over Zhi Fan's red face. Zhi Fan shrank his neck and lowered his head angrily. She was sitting in the carriage at the back and didn't see the situation clearly, but she vaguely guessed from the conversation between Anping and Guo Yan that the eldest lady had left with Guo Yan halfway... She left the prince alone in the car, and she couldn't help it. I feel sorry for the prince! After returning, the prince entered the study as if nothing had happened, but she understood that the prince was concerned. Even though the eldest lady and Guo Yan are not romantically involved and are related to each other, the eldest lady's behavior is really wrong!

 In my heart, I have already placed the blame on Shui Linglong.

Shui Linglong ignored Zhi Fan's little thoughts, looked at Zhong's mother and said, "I thought it was rare to go out, so I went to the restaurant to have a look. The prince drank too much and felt uncomfortable sleeping in the car, so he went back first."

Mother Zhong had no doubt that he was there: "The slave will make some sobering soup for the prince later."

Zhi Fan said: "No need, Mother Yuan has already taken care of it and sent it away."

Shui Linglong glanced at Zhi Fan again. She knew that Zhi Fan admired Zhuge Yu. After all, he was such an outstanding man. Half of the maids in the yard probably liked him a little. They didn't care before, but now...

There was a hint of irritation in his eyes. Shui Linglong put down the tea cup, no longer in the mood to drink tea.

Mother Zhong rubbed Shui Linglong's feet. She remembered something and said with a smile: "The night when the prince returned home, he rubbed the young lady like this. He also put the young lady's feet on his heart to warm him. He was so cold. Trembling... Miss, I don’t know what she was dreaming about. She kept kicking and kicking... Haha... The prince laughed instead of getting angry! "Since she got seriously ill, she has had the habit of sleeping with a light on. That night, she got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. I found that the lights in the main room were out. I thought someone was negligent on duty, so I opened the door and went in to take a look.

 I have never heard Zhuge Yu mention these! Shui Linglong looked towards the study room with a complicated expression...

After bathing, Zhuge Yu still hadn't returned to the room. Shui Linglong sat on the bedside and read a book for a while. Zhi Fan took out Zhuge Yu's brocade clothes, spread them on the long table, and began to iron them: "Miss, the second young lady was here earlier. I gave you some New Year gifts, do you want to take a look?"

“Bring it to me and take a look.” Shui Linglong put down the book and said.

Zhifan put the iron on the shelf aside, walked around the screen and took out a brocade box with a bow tie from the cabinet under Duobaoge. When he returned to the place, he saw Shui Linglong picking up the iron and ironing it for Zhuge Yu. Got clothes!

A trace of joy flashed in the corner of Zhi Fan's eyes, and his tone of voice became much lighter: "Miss, the Second Young Mistress said they are a pair of colorful night pearls, slave, have you opened them?" Shui Linglong didn't stop her movements. mean!

"Hmm." Shui Linglong finished ironing her collar and sleeves, Zhi Fan squinted and smiled, and opened the mahogany carved brocade box. A faint multi-colored light bloomed instantly, and a ray of illusion in the room was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes away. Shui Linglong's eyes paused for two seconds on the luminous pearl, then quickly retracted it, and said in the usual tone, "It is indeed a good thing. The second brother and sister have put their heart into it. I originally planned to give her a pair of Jiangnan-style green phoenix tail hairpins. It’s for Third Sister.”

Shui Linglong ironed her clothes and hung them in the cabinet herself. Only then did she realize that the cabinet was full of mostly her clothes and only a few of Zhuge Yu’s!

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Where are the prince's clothes?"
