But She’s So Charming - Chapter 50
Peer hit a wall at Mother Yang, and it took a long time before she dared to speak when she returned to the Moon Hall.
“What’s the matter with you! I asked you to take the doctor to check her pulse, but you didn’t even enter the door! If she is respected by Mother Yang, she is also a servant! You immediately give me another visit!” Anru Er sternly said.
Seeing the princess’s anger, Peer knelt on the ground with a “plop” and shivered and said: “The princess is relieved of anger. If the maid Yang is really blocking the slave, the slave is naturally not afraid of her, so she rushed forward, but that Mother has… actually has your Royal Highness’s token…” This is straightforward enough. They can not treat the people of Xitongyuan as a dish, but your Royal Highness’s token…Who dares not take it seriously?
Upon hearing this, Anruer’s eyes reddened again, and she didn’t understand why both of them were facing the Hu Meizi! Since entering the house, apart from having borrowed Tang Wu’s parents and Cheng Anbo to act, she has actually done nothing to that bitch, because she has suffered a lot! She still wears it!
In the high gates of the capital, the mistress of any family would use the concubine’s room. Why did she get to her? What a heinous thing she did? !
Thinking of this, Anru’er suddenly said: “Mother, you said that Xi Tongyuan, what tricks are you playing with me?”
At this time, Mother Lu poured a cup of tea for Anru’er and said slowly: “Wang Hao, don’t worry, paper is the ultimate one that can’t contain the fire. The tighter the Xitong yard is, the more it is said that there is something stinky. When the fire burns, it will be out of control.”
“But now she dare to use her Royal Highness as a shield! This is no longer in my eyes as the princess! How can I know if the fire in her yard can burn?” Anru’er thought more and more. The more headache she got, she hadn’t had a month on her birthday!
Mother Lu thought for a while, and took a step forward, rubbing Anru’s temples while saying: “As far as the old slave knows, there is a dog hole east of Xitongyuan.”
“The one that the mother said is the one next to the storeroom?” Peer interjected.
“That’s it. The old slave thought. Now that Xi Tongyuan is gaining power, it’s impossible for us to put people under Mother Lu’s eyelids. Since it’s impossible to get through, it’s better to take two steps in the dark. chess.”
At this point, everyone understood what Mother An said.
“But… the slave maid remembers that the dog hole in Xitongyuan is very small, and half of the slave maid’s stature can’t get in.” Peier said.
“It’s natural to count on you! Wang Hao, the old slave has a personal choice.” Mother Lu paused and continued: “There is a troupe in Beijing, and there is a girl about eight years old in that troupe. She is so soft that she can even enter the flower bed and is famous in the capital. If you can find her and tie some weeds on her body, you will surely get some news for the princess.”
The princess raised her eyes and whispered: “Where is the dog hole?”
“The dog hole is a blind spot, but if you look at the right angle and look to the right, you can see Aunt Tang’s inner room.” You know, the servants in the inner room are all Aunt Tang’s confidants, and they come out all day. , It is not difficult to hear a word.
After speaking, Mother Lu added, “And this dog hole still leads to the small warehouse. If you are accidentally spotted, you can get out of it.” As long as you leave Xitongyuan, Princess Ying wants to be there. Putting a few people in the small warehouse is not a problem.
“So, then do as the mother said.”
—
In the past few days, Tang Wu suffered from the cold and did not take any medicine. In order to get a good body as soon as possible, she could only sleep with a bedding.
Sometimes cold, sometimes hot.
Consciousness is sometimes clear and sometimes fuzzy.
Except for the sound of water made by Mother Yang when she twisted her handkerchief, there was silence all around.
When she was groggy, different words intertwined repeatedly in her mind, over and over again, one after another…
“Xiaowu, if you dare to confront your mother, you will not want to eat for three days!”
“The poor Ding Dong at home thinks, how can I have money to buy you a long jacket? If it’s cold, you can jump more and more naturally.”
“Mrs. Tang family! This child is absolutely incompatible with you. With this child, it is impossible for you to have a son!”
“Although my child is not very old, he is pretty handsome. I can’t sell it for your money.”
“Fifty taels? How much silver does she have after eating my rice for so many years? I won’t sell them for less than 100 taels!”
“From today, I will call you Wuer, you will follow Jiuniang to learn to sing, and you will be the top card of Junmengyuan in the future, okay?”
“Ordinary people, what do they use to protect a disaster?”
“You are a bitch!”
“I pinch you to death, it’s as easy as trampling on an ant.”
“Are you worthy?”
“Wuer, don’t fight, you should never fight…”
“Wu’er, be a concubine for me, have you wronged you?”
“Don’t cry, brother takes you home.”
…
“Grandma.” Cheng Yu whispered.
Tang Wu slowly opened his eyes, and Cheng Yu was looking at her with a worried expression on his eyelids.
“Shizi!” She widened her eyes and sat up and said: “Why are you here!” This is her inner room. How did he get in?
Her small face was pale, with fine beads of sweat falling on her forehead, and when she was seen, she couldn’t help but say something pitiful.
Cheng Yu gave him a silent gesture, and then said: “Tomorrow I will be out of the city, time is too late, I have no choice but to step into your yard tonight… Concubine, are you sick?”
Seeing his dignified expression, Tang Wu couldn’t help but sink, and immediately raised his head and said: “My illness does not matter, the emperor has already come, the world’s son is looking for me, what is the matter?”
“Grandma, no accident, your Royal Highness will arrive in the capital the next day.” Cheng Yu said directly.
Hearing this, Tang Wu’s face was surprised: “Why? His Royal Highness once told me, how can this battle take two months, and it’s less than half a month now, how can I get to Beijing?”
“Don’t worry, I’m here tonight because of this. Originally, I thought it would take two or three months for this battle, but I didn’t realize that when we returned, Emperor Yu was not blindfolded, but In order to come to negotiate a peace, not only that, he will also sign a twenty-year armistice agreement with us.”
“Shizi means…they didn’t go to war?”
“Since there is a willingness to negotiate a peace, it stands to reason that it should not go to war, but the general of Yu State stationed in the northwest, Du Qiang, is very happy. He feels that the capture of Rongcheng is close at hand and cannot be given up. He violated the will of Emperor Yu and insisted on sending troops to attack. Rongcheng. This matter, after eight days of fighting, ended with your Highness personally taking the head of Du Qiang.” As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu’s brows deepened.
Ordinarily, in a battle between the two armies, it should be normal to take the head of the enemy general. But yesterday evening, after receiving Chu Liu’s Flying Pigeon, I realized that things were not that simple. It is the aim that has never changed for the people of Yan to live and work in peace and contentment, hope that there will be no smoke of gunpowder.
Emperor Yu was willing to negotiate a peace. This should be the heart of His Royal Highness. Even if Du Qiang sent someone to attack Rongcheng, it was not the original intention of Emperor Yu. His Royal Highness can leave him a life in exchange for a bargaining chip, and directly take the first level, which is not his Royal Highness’s faction.
He also read the letter to realize that when Du Qiang sent troops, he was thinking of a fast attack, but King Ying only defended but not attacked, making him completely anxious. Du Qiang couldn’t help but handed a note to King Ying in the form of archery. That note was pulled out by Chu Liu himself…but he didn’t realize it. After reading it, King Ying immediately led 8,000 cavalry to rush out. The soldiers made dangerous moves. Within three days, he took the lead of Du Qiang. class.
Because Chu Liu was present at the time, he also saw the note.
There are eight characters on the note-Your wife is very beautiful, and it tastes great.
It goes without saying who this wife is referring to.
But just when everyone thought the negotiation failed and the war would continue, Emperor Yu’s special envoy came again and not only retrieved Du Qiang’s head without any blame, but also threw out the olive branch of hope for the two countries to conduct business.
The people of Yu are bloodthirsty and combative, ambitious, and have never made a loss-making business on the battlefield. So the actions of Emperor Yu are even more intriguing…
This reminded him of what he said to him that day.
Cheng Yu said with a serious face: “My concubine, let me ask you, when you were in Jingzhou, besides showing you the portrait of the first queen, what else did Emperor Yu say?”
Tang Wu shook his head, “And… nothing.”
“Grandma, you tell me the truth, I won’t hurt you.”
“He… once asked me to stay and be his queen, but I didn’t agree, so I knelt all night, and Emperor Yu let me go.”
Hearing this, Cheng Yu took a breath, and he looked down at her belly, slightly lost in thought.
In the end, he got it right, Emperor Yu was like this, I’m afraid it was for her.
For a while, Cheng Yu whispered: “My concubine, listen to me, you’d better not leave this yard until your highness comes back, remember?”
“But something happened?”
When Cheng Yu saw her look haggard, it was inconvenient to talk to her too much to make her worry, “You only need to remember what I said to you, and don’t think too much about the rest.”
After a while, Cheng Yu saw that the white fish belly was hanging diagonally on the treetops, and he hurried out of the yard.
Time was running out, and no one noticed the secretly peeking eyes in the eastern fence.
—
The girl in the troupe was called Nian Qing, and she knelt down in front of Anru’er respectfully, repeating word by word what she had seen last night.
Holding a picture scroll, Mother Lu on the side asked in a low voice, “Is that the person you saw last night?”
Nian Qing nodded, “Return to the princess, it is indeed this person.”
“How long has he stayed in Aunt Tang’s room?”
“The slave and maidservant is about to stay, it’s almost an hour or so.”
After receiving this answer, Anru’s laughed tears came out, she instantly stood up, and sternly said: “This brother Yu is really crazy, does he know what the charge is for running into the yard of the royal concubine at night!” This is how sad it would be if I told my aunt to know!”
“The princess is not anxious, the royal family has never had the slightest suspicion about the Cheng family. Your Royal Highness will deal with this matter according to your circumstances.” Mother Lu said.
Anruer took out the veil in her hand, wiped away the tears tremblingly, and took a deep breath: “Mother Lu, prepare the carriage, and we will return to the Mansion immediately.”
“What does the princess do?”
“This matter cannot be known to His Royal Highness… absolutely not.” Anruer whispered.
“The princess meant to let go of this opportunity and protect the person from Xitongyuan?”
She was born as an inconspicuous girl from Anju’s family, and she fell into the crowd, afraid that she was not even as good as a daughter of a fifth-grade member’s family.
She is ambitious and counts countless people.
But only the Cheng family can’t do this.
My aunt has treated her since she was a child. Everyone in Cheng’s family, even a cook, treats her as a big girl. If she hadn’t insisted on the title of Princess Ying, maybe… her relationship with the Cheng family could still be the same as before.
The most direct thing is that she and the Cheng family are one body. If there is a gap between the Cheng family and His Royal Highness, she will be regarded as the princess Ying.
Therefore, she must pass this incident to redeem the Cheng family and redeem her Royal Highness.
She wants Cheng Yu to be his son of Cheng Guo. She wants to like Tongyuan, and she won’t be able to block her way in the future.
