First Concubine

Chapter 228 The incident happened (4)

Leng Youru nodded: "You can take care of this matter."

Shangguan Hong held Xu Yang’s hand and walked behind. She wanted to walk in front, but Xu Yang’s feet were not fast. Xu Yang frowned and said, "Mom, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Shangguan Hong was thinking about something and didn't hear his son's words. Xuyang shook her hand aggrievedly and snorted: "Mom! Did you hear what I said? I want to play with Brother Hao! I don't want to go back to Kashgar to celebrate! Brother Hao's father will do so much fun Something! Sister-in-law can do it! It’s more fun here than in Kashgar. Can we stay here forever?”

Shangguan Hong had already suppressed her anger, but now hearing these words was like burning oil. She stopped, looked down at her son's pouted mouth, and scolded: "You worthless scoundrel! No!" Remember what Mu Chenghao did to you, right? Your ear was almost bitten off by him the day you first arrived! If I hadn't stopped him in time, you would have been crippled by Zhuge Xuyang now! Friend? Are you really shameless?"

 “Woo--” Xu Yang cried when he was scolded.

cry! The more she cries, the angrier Shangguanhong becomes! Doesn't he know that crying is harmful to the body? My eyes hurt and my throat hurts if I cry too much. At such a young age, it is most likely to cause throat swelling and pain, and then cough! fever! Unlimited worry welled up in her heart, and she shouted sharply: "Don't cry anymore! Zhuge Xuyang, I ordered you not to, will you obey?"

 “Woo--” Xu Yang was so frightened that he instinctively cried louder and louder. But the louder he shouted, the more anxious Shangguanhong became. When he was anxious, he became angry again. If he refused to listen, Shangguanhong would use violence. She pulled Xuyang and pressed it against her chest, then raised her other hand and hit her hard. The ground slapped him on the butt: "Cry for me! You are still crying! Stop crying! How many times have I told you not to cry!"

The original intention was to use violence to control violence, to scare Xu Yang and stop him from crying, but such a young child didn't understand that his mother was afraid that he would get sick from crying. He just thought that his mother didn't like him anymore, so the crying became more intense. .

Zhi Fan, who was not far away, saw this scene and frowned unbearably: "Miss, the fourth young master is just a child, will the second lady be too harsh?"

"The spanking is not heavy, it just scares the child enough." Shui Linglong stared at her eyes and recalled that Bin'er made a mistake in her previous life. She was young and couldn't control her temper, so she also spanked him like this. I didn't think it was anything at the time, but now I suddenly regret it.

Xuyang's cries were getting louder and louder, making Zhi Fan feel uncomfortable all over: "Um...else, do we want to go and persuade you? The fourth young master is so pitiful..."

Shui Linglong said calmly: "It's useless to persuade. The more you persuade the fourth young master, the harder he will cry. The harder he cries, the harder the second lady will strike. It's a vicious circle. Let's go!"

Zhi Fan and Shui Linglong left the place. Zhi Fan looked back from time to time. After a moment, he saw Qiao Hui running out of the path next to him. Zhi Fan felt happy that the fourth young master was saved. However, what surprised Zhifan was that Shangguanhong not only didn't stop, but scolded Qiao Hui so much that Qiao Hui also cried. Xu Yang stopped crying. After being beaten until he was stunned and unable to resist at all...

Mother Zhuang went to the dining room to get dinner. On the way back to Xianglan Courtyard, she bumped into two maids carrying buckets and rags. The maids bowed and saluted her. Mother Zhuang looked at the tools they were carrying and asked, "Is there anyone in the house who wants to perform a ritual?"

One of the bolder fat maids replied: "No, it was the imperial concubine who ordered the servants to clean the temple to prevent rats from disturbing the white jade Guanyin."

Zhuang's mother's eyes flashed slightly: "Oh, that's it. The Crown Princess is interested. The weather is hot right now, and there are indeed bugs and rats everywhere, so we need to clean them up." The maids agreed seriously and went to the small Buddhist hall.

The small Buddhist hall is located in a very secluded place in the west of the mansion. Leng Youru does not like to be disturbed when worshiping the Buddha. Except for the maids who come to clean the courtyard at scheduled times in the morning, it is deserted at other times. The midsummer night is not quiet. Cicadas chirp and frogs chirp one after another, covering up the sound of footsteps crushing fallen leaves. A dark shadow quietly approached the Buddhist hall. The vermilion door was embedded in the boundless night, and when the moonlight shone, it was like a prehistoric devil suddenly opening its **** mouth, and the shadow entered its belly bit by bit.

Passing by the front yard, stepping through the hanging flower door, stepping onto the corridor, and pushing open the carved wooden door, the moonlight stretched her shadow long and cast it into the house, folding it and reflecting it on the white jade Guanyin on the desk. Guanyin has a kind face and kind eyes, and her piercing eyes flash with a peaceful light, and the child in her arms smiles as brightly as the spring sun. The man in black smiled maliciously at this beautiful and harmonious picture! The man in black stretched out his hands and knocked the white jade Guanyin away! Guanyin fell to pieces on the ground! The man in black smiled with satisfaction, turned around and walked out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, a tall and majestic figure enveloped her...

 “Your Majesty... Your Majesty?” She was so frightened that the prince should never come to a place like the Buddhist hall. This simply violated the taboos of the gods!

An undercurrent quickly emerged in Zhuge Liuyun's eyes. When Leng Youru told him that someone wanted to destroy the White Jade Guanyin, he was still doubtful, but just in case, he would rather believe it or not and stay on guard in advance. Got here. But as expected, someone was playing tricks! Zhuge Liuyun's eyes turned cold, and he quickly unveiled her veil...

In Qingyou Courtyard, after Brother Hao finished washing, he did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, he lay on the carpet in Leng Youru's room and turned the Rubik's Cube. Leng Youru glanced at him, picked up a dry towel, walked behind him, sat down, and then gently wiped his wet hair: "Why are you so sulky today? You haven't talked to me all day."

Brother Hao's eyes moved and he continued to spin the Rubik's Cube. After a while, he hummed: "No."

"Lie!" Leng Youru said, looking at the Rubik's Cube that was turning more and more chaotically, "Don't lie to me, I don't like it."

Brother Hao's movements froze for an instant. He lowered his head, as if he was seriously thinking about the significance of the four words "I don't like" to him. After a moment, he said in a voice as loud as a mosquito buzzing: "I am here tonight." Can you please not go back to your room to sleep?”

Leng Youru was stunned for a moment before she understood the reason for his sulking. She suddenly felt funny: "Two people squeeze into the same bed, don't you feel uncomfortable? It's so good to sleep alone, you can turn over and raise your legs."

It was originally a word of comfort and enlightenment, but the sensitive brother Hao gradually changed his expression: "Are you uncomfortable when I sleep with you? Do you think I'm crowding you?"

Leng Youru was speechless, but Brother Hao mistakenly thought it was acquiescence. His nose felt sore and he said lonelyly: "I promise to only sleep in a small corner from today on, and I can even sleep at your feet."

Leng Youru put down the towel, hugged him on her lap, and slowly brushed his thick and curled eyelashes with her bare hands, feeling... wet and greasy, Leng Youru seemed to sigh: "Am I that good? "

 Brother Hao nodded without thinking! Leng Youru hugged him tightly, closed her eyes, and said no more. Cen'er opened the curtain and came in. He was shocked at first when he saw this scene, and then his heart warmed slightly: "Princess, something happened in the Buddhist hall."

Zhuge Liuyun is sitting on the main seat, Liufeng and Shangguanhong are sitting on the right side, and Shui Linglong and Wen Yuan are on the left side. Leng Youru's eyes passed over Zhuang's mother who was kneeling on the ground, and she walked to Zhuge Liuyun and sat down next to her with an indifferent expression.

 Zhuge Liuyun has a big head. He doesn’t understand why he caught the person who destroyed the White Jade Guanyin but he caught Mother Zhuang? Zhuang's mother is Shangguanhong's personal mother. During this time... don't tell him that there is no contact! And what does it mean that Leng Youru predicted this accident in advance? Gathering his thoughts, he looked at Leng Youru and asked with concern: "Are you tired from walking all the way?"

Leng Youru lowered her eyes and said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not tired."

Zhuge Liuyun felt relieved and finally began to examine the case. His soft gaze on Leng Youru's face turned cold when he shot it at Zhuang's mother: "You are so brave! You actually went to destroy the White Jade Guanyin!" , who told you to do this?"

At this time, Zhuang's mother had lost her previous panic. She lowered her eyelids slightly and said, "No one instigated me. It was me who wanted to destroy the White Jade Guanyin!"

Wen Yuan looked at Shangguan Hong, who was pretending to be calm, and then thought about what happened tonight. Many unexplainable plots gradually became apparent. She snorted coldly and shouted: "Liar! She is obviously my cousin. I ordered you to do it! This evening, in the princess's room, my cousin deliberately frightened me with a spider, pretended to come to help me, then pretended to be pushed away by me, and took advantage of the situation to hit Duobaoge. By then, it was already broken. A White Jade Guanyin! Fortunately, it’s actually a fake! You guys are just here to destroy the palace’s fortune!”

"What's going on?" Zhuge Liuyun asked Xiang Leng Youru. Zhuge's mother was Shangguanhong's person. She did evil things, and Shangguanhong was more or less involved. But he had no hope that this matter was actually instigated by Shangguanhong. of. But if it is true as Wen Yuan said, a white jade Guanyin that everyone mistakenly believed to be the real Guanyin was broken in Leng Youru's room in the afternoon, then...Shangguan Hong's suspicion is really high.

Leng Youru recounted what happened in the afternoon in detail, hiding the fact that Shui Linglong asked her to put away the white jade Guanyin in advance. She only said that Guanyin has been quietly enshrined in the Buddhist hall: "...so, I am afraid of the white jade Guanyin." Something went wrong with Guanyin, so I replaced the white jade Guanyin in the temple in advance and asked the prince to see if someone was really doing evil, but in my heart, I was not sure that this would happen again. "

The faces of Zhuge Liuyun and Liufeng turned darker and darker under Leng Youru's unhurried statement. Shui Linglong looked at the shocked and angry Zhuge brothers, and then at the gloomy Shangguan Hong, indifferently. He blinked, and the return trip was about to begin. Shangguanhong was forced into confusion. If he calmed down and thought about it, he might not have fallen into the trap so easily. When the Jade Guanyin in Leng Youru's room was not the real one, Shangguanhong It was time to be vigilant. The little maid deliberately ran into Zhuang's mother, and through Zhuang's mother, she spread the news about White Jade Guanyin in the Buddhist hall to Shangguan Hong's ears. To be honest, any outsider could see that this was a trap, and she did not She didn't expect Shangguan Hong to be fooled so easily. She and Wen Yuan still had a play to perform. After the performance, Shangguan Hong should have sent someone to destroy Guanyin. In fact, Shangguan Hong lost because of his impulsive and strong personality. In other words, Shangguanhong's psychological quality is not good and he is easily led by psychological suggestions.

Zhuge Liuyun's cold eyes glanced at Shangguan Hong again. He didn't want to believe it but had to believe it: "Brother and sister, please give me an explanation!"

As soon as Shangguan Hong raised her head, she met Shang Shui Linglong's cold eyes. Deep in those eyes, there was a sharp insight into everything. Only then did she realize that she had been plotted by a little girl. Shui Linglong first invited Wen Yuan to dinner. , did a scene where she wanted to be a husband with Emperor Wen Yuan'e and Nvying. I still remember when I asked her why she took the initiative to accept Wen Yuan, how did she answer? She said, "Second Aunt, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I don't like Wen Yuan and I'm not willing to associate with her. But since I married Zhuge Yu, I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhuge family. Therefore, I also have things I can't help but do. "But I am sensible and know what I am doing. Second aunt, don't worry about me." At the time, every word sounded like a woman's helplessness and sadness, but now that I think about it, every word is misleading, and she didn't give any details. She said that as the daughter-in-law of the Zhuge family, she couldn't help herself, but she made up for it!

In addition, she deliberately asked Mother Zhong to repeatedly emphasize the importance of Guanyin in sending her son to Qiao Hui. Since she could not prevent the marriage between the Shangguan family and Zhuge Yu, she had no choice but to start with the palace and destroy it. The origin of good luck, in this way, Zhuge Yu, as a member of the royal family, will also have bad luck one after another, and the chance of successfully returning to the clan to take over as the clan leader will be greatly reduced!

The White Jade Guanyin was not put away by Leng Youru herself, it must have been Shui Linglong who reminded her! And she was not completely unaware of the hidden dangers, but the purpose of entering the capital was to solve this matter. Seeing that she was about to return home, she had no time to waste, even if she knew that it had certain risks, she would not hesitate to die together.

 “Haha.” She smiled faintly. At this point, any argument was powerless, “It’s me.”

Wen Yuan opened her mouth wide, looked sideways at Shui Linglong and said: "Oh! Cousin, now you believe me, she is so vicious! Zhaoyun must have been harmed by her too! She just wanted to harm the prince and the princess through Zhaoyun. And the fetus in the princess's belly! No, not only that, Zhifan and Zhaoyun are so close, if Zhifan is infected, the sister and brother who are under Zhifan's personal care will also be in danger! This woman is simply too disgusting! "
