434: Forging iron should be done while the weather is hot. When dawn is about to break, the heavy snow has already covered all the roads with a layer of snow. There was no news of Pingbei Hou's death all night, which made Zi Jin's heart a little more stable.

He brought several girls in to help Zi Jin get up. Aunt Jiang was already waiting outside the door. When she heard the sound of Zi Jin getting up, she walked in and reported all the affairs in the house one by one. Finally, she said: "Elder Princess

Your Highness has said that the young lady can make the final decision in matters in the palace. Her Royal Highness has to take care of the Marquis and has no time, so she leaves the matters in the palace to the young lady. Knowing that the young lady is pregnant and having a hard time, she asks the old slave to follow her.

Manager Ping will assist you.”

After all, having the eldest princess is justifiable. Zi Jin nodded and looked at Aunt Jiang and said, "It's Zi Jin's blessing to be able to share the worries of my mother. I just have to work hard for my mother to deal with things with Ping. Wait until Marquis Daan's mother will discuss it."

Merits are rewarded."

Aunt Jiang didn't dare to bring up the brocade box containing the cards in the house with both hands, but Zi Jin didn't tie the knot. She just smiled and said: "Just leave it there, I'm just working hard for my mother for a few days."

There is no need to go through such trouble." After saying this, he covered up the topic and said, "Is Mr. Hou feeling better?"

Aunt Jiang sighed deeply when she saw Zi Jin being so measured. She thought that with such a reputation, Zi Jin must be a difficult and power-hungry person, but who knew he was such a transparent person?

Grandma was in awe, so she said: "The eldest princess stayed overnight. Although the fever subsided, the Marquis never woke up. If the imperial doctor doesn't wake up in another three days... I'm afraid it will be..."

Zi Jin let out a long sigh, fearing that he would become a vegetative state. It would be fatal to hurt his heart. If he refused to die, he didn't know what he was waiting for if he kept such a breath. His eyes darkened and he nodded, "

The Marquis will definitely be auspicious and everything will be safe and sound. I don’t know if my grandmother is awake yet. I, the daughter-in-law, can’t go over to visit the Marquis, so I asked my grandma to say hello to my mother. Grandma.

You really need to go there in person, the Marquis is extremely filial, and as a junior, he has done his best to serve his good grandmother."

Zi Jin finished washing up and didn't eat breakfast. She only asked Xian Qiao to put the food together and eat with Shen Ruoning and Chu Xiangyu. She went to visit Mrs. Ye first.

Mrs. Ye looked very bad, her face was pale and gloomy. She was not in good health, and her son had suffered such a disaster. Zi Jin comforted her in a soft voice, "The imperial doctor said that the high fever has gone away.

It’s just that I haven’t woken up yet. Now that the fever has gone down, it will be a matter of time before I wake up. But grandma must take care of herself. When my father wakes up, he will miss grandma the most.”

Mrs. Ye burst into tears, Zi Jin hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief, only to hear Mrs. Ye sigh: "The Ye family is supported by Mr. Marquis, and your two uncles are far apart. If...he is good or bad, I will take it for granted."

In my mother’s heart…”

"Grandma, my father will be safe and sound." Zi Jin hurriedly advised her, feeling very sad in her heart. She has spent her entire life to have a white-haired person give away a black-haired person. No one can bear this.

Chu Xiangyu and Shen Ruoniang were also comforting Mrs. Ye. Du Manqiu remained silent and looked up at Zi Jin and suddenly asked: "I want to see Mr. Hou."

This categorical sentence put Zi Jin in a difficult position. The eldest princess and Du Manqiu were at odds with each other. At this time, the eldest princess would not necessarily agree to Du Manqiu's visit. But as the marquis's head wife, this request was not excessive at all. Although it was not excessive, after all, It was in the eldest princess's mansion that Zi Jin really had no way to make the decision on this matter, so he was in a bit of a dilemma for a while.

Looking at Zi Jin's troubled expression, Du Manqiu snorted coldly: "Go and tell the eldest princess, I will only take a look. After I take a look, I will accompany my mother back to the Hou Mansion. I will never disturb her here."

Zi Jin was stunned. He didn't expect Du Manqiu to say such words. Is this a concession?

"Then I'll pass on a message." Zi Jin sighed. The two of them have been fighting for their entire lives. Who would be willing to do it now?

Zi Jin turned around and left. Du Manqiu looked at Chu and Chen and waved his hands, "You go to eat first. You are tired after waiting all night."

"My daughter-in-law is not tired, but my mother should close her eyes and rest." Chu Xiangyu said in a low voice, with an expression that could not conceal her exhaustion.

"No need to persuade me, I know what to do in my heart. Go and see if the eldest young master and the second young master have eaten. If so, ask them to take leave of absence." Du Manqiu looked calm and ordered word by word.

Chu Xiangyu knew her mother-in-law's temper and did not dare to persuade her. She had to retreat with Shen Ruoning. After the two retreated, Du Manqiu said to Mrs. Ye: "Please mother, please forgive my daughter-in-law for what she said just now. It's not that I won't be here to guard you." I'm looking at the Marquis, but... I'm afraid the eldest princess doesn't want to see me here. Moreover, my mother's body needs to be well taken care of. When the Marquis woke up, he saw that his mother was healthy. It was all thanks to his daughter-in-law. The two of them You always have to choose one. If the daughter-in-law has to fight with the eldest princess, I'm afraid the family and the outside world will not be peaceful again."

Mrs. Ye sighed, "It's hard for you to give in."

Du Manqiu bit her lip, her eyes were red, and finally she smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to give in, but...if the Marquis wakes up, I'm probably not the one he wants to see most...Besides, this is the princess's mansion. , I don’t have the right to speak.”

Mrs. Ye looked at Du Manqiu and shook her head gently, saying: "It doesn't matter if you think about it, if... if you had thought this way before, and the whole family could live a good life, we wouldn't be here today."

"Do you blame me?" Du Manqiu asked in a low voice, his voice so faint that you couldn't hear the feeling inside.

Mrs. Ye did not answer, but said at this time: "Since you have decided this way, then just do what you said."

Du Manqiu nodded when he heard the words, looking at Mrs. Ye's face in a daze. If he were in the Marquis Mansion, he could have blocked the eldest princess from the door, but in the Princess Mansion, he was the one who was blocked from the door. Until this moment, Du Manqiu Only then did she realize that the eldest princess was no longer the eldest princess she had been before, and that the things she valued before were now so useless.

Zi Jin was going to take care of household chores, so he asked Xian Qiao to come over and let him know.

"The eldest princess has accepted?" Du Manqiu looked at Xianqiao and asked, with a slight smile on his face. He hadn't seen the Marquis since last night, and he was very worried. He turned to look at Mrs. Ye and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law will help you watch it together/Let's watch it. After watching it, we should leave."

Mrs. Ye nodded, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to see Ye Qingcheng, who was in a coma. The eldest princess sat aside without saying a word, without raising her head or even looking at the two of them. After a cup of tea, she He said slowly: "I've seen it, it's time to go."

The cold voice and ruthless words can make people feel cold.

"It's time for the dog to work, princess." Mrs. Ye finally said this, turned around and left. There are some words and other things that are useless to talk about and only increase the sadness. Who is right and who is wrong? At this time, they are picking each other's bones apart.

I'm afraid there's no conclusion yet, but what is the purpose of all my hard work all my life?

Du Manqiu looked at her husband who was pale and closed on the bed, unable to shed a single tear. His clasped hands slowly loosened, and something in his heart seemed to have disappeared.

Desolate, without pain or sorrow.

They were so close, but they couldn't even hear each other's shallowest breath; they were the closest couple, but she couldn't stay by the bedside at the moment of life and death; they were entangled in love and hate all their lives, wishing they could be embedded in each other's hearts.

Bones and blood, we cried, we cried, we hated, we loved, we calculated and we were calculated...but what did we get?

With his lips moving, Du Manqiu wanted to say a harsh word and shout to the eldest princess, even if he dies, he is still my legitimate husband!

But she couldn't shout, he was still alive, and the conditions in the eldest princess's place would definitely be better than those in the Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, he was seriously injured and couldn't move, so she endured her husband lying on someone else's bed. Even if this woman was his

Ex-wife, but they have parted ways after all, right?

No matter how much she said, she couldn't cover up the grievance she felt at letting go at this moment. In order to save his life, she was willing to suffer grievances.

"Master Hou...just leave it to the princess..."

"..." The eldest princess wanted to say something to relieve her hatred, but she finally swallowed the words, but she still did not look back at Du Manqiu. The grudge between the two of them could no longer be resolved.

Zi Jin was stroking her stomach in the meeting hall and listened to Xianqiao's explanation of the situation at that time. She looked at the gloomy sky with half-squinted eyes and was speechless for a long time. In the war between women, there is no winner or loser in the end.

It is the most beautiful glory in life. Du Manqiu also loves Ye Qingcheng, so for the sake of Ye Qingcheng's life, he endured a knife in his heart and let Ye Qingcheng stay in the eldest princess' mansion. The eldest princess also loves her deeply, even if she divorces

Ye Qingcheng knew that he was injured and didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran barefoot into the ice and snow. Now he has to keep the man he abandoned by his side for treatment. He doesn't know how many people will laugh at him, just because of that man.

I can't care about anything.

Before Zi Jin could sigh, orders came one after another from the palace. Emperor Zhengxian asked the imperial hospital to bring two highly qualified imperial doctors to the eldest princess's palace to treat Ye Qingcheng's injuries. They also brought many precious medicinal materials.

, decreed that Ye Qingcheng must be saved no matter what the cost.

The Queen Mother's decree has also arrived, and along with the eunuch who announced the decree came a variety of precious pills and medicinal materials. Apart from that, I really don't know what else to do.

Zi Jin took the place of the eldest princess and Mrs. Ye, Ye Qingcheng and Du Manqiu thanked Tian En. After a series of busy work, she was a little tired. After seeing off the inner prison, Grandma Jiang hurriedly asked someone to bring a soft pillow for Zi Jin to sit down and rest.

Hanmei and Shui Rong also brought anti-fetal medicine and prepared Zi Jin's favorite meals to replenish his strength.

After all this fuss, it was only the first moment. Zi Jin counted the time. The morning was probably going to be very lively at this moment. He closed his eyes slightly to rest, listening to Aunt Jiang assigning matters with a pair of cards outside.

His words and deeds were much better than yesterday, and Zi Jin felt much more at ease. He just asked Xianqiao to go out to help Grandma Jiang and inquire about the news.

Last night, Ye Mingxuan did not return home all night, and Zi Jin was a little worried, but thinking that Ye Mingxuan was not a reckless person, he felt relieved.

It’s New Year’s Day today!

The officials were supposed to be off to celebrate the New Year, but they were urgently recalled to the court because of the assassination of Pingbeihou. Pingbeihou was shot in the chest with an arrow. Who could be so bold as to murder the imperial official? There was endless debate in the court.

Just as everyone was arguing, another news came. A murder occurred in the residence of King Le and his son in Kyoto, and the court was immediately in an uproar. Such things happened one after another during the New Year, and no one could be happy. The news that followed was even more

What is surprising is that an iron bow was found under the collapsed stone slab in the room of the dead guard in Prince Le's Mansion. The arrow that matched the iron bow was exactly the same as the arrow that penetrated Pingbei Hou's chest!

This time it was really a big deal.

It was already noon when Zi Jin heard the news. Before that, Zi Jin had received letters from the four sisters of the Yao family and Wei Mingzhu. Zi Jin felt warm in her heart when she read the contents of the letters. Until they all

I can't come here in person, but when the letter arrives, it is an act of closeness after all.

Zi Jin spent a lot of time replying to the letters one by one, and even said a few more words in the letter to Wei Mingzhu, using Ye Mingxuan's tone to keep the Wei family away from the whirlpool of right and wrong. Now that the Yao family has moved in, the Wei family can no longer come in.

, Only in this way can we show a distinctive position in the fierce struggle in the future, and only in this way can our words have weight. The words of people who have never mixed up right and wrong can always be more convincing.

So when Zi Jin heard what happened in Prince Le's Mansion, he laughed silently in his heart. Ye Mingxuan seemed to have gained a lot. He was able to find exactly the same frame as the arrow that assassinated Ping Beihou in such a short period of time.

It’s not easy for Le Wang either.

Zi Jin walked around the room, feeling that he had to do something at this time, otherwise wouldn't he be able to live up to his reputation as the living king of hell? But... he couldn't be reckless.

After thinking for a long time, Zi Jin finally came to the door of the eldest princess's room and asked Qiangwei to tell her that she wanted to meet the eldest princess. Qiangwei turned around and went in. Soon the eldest princess walked out with a haggard look on her face, looked at Zi Jin and said

: "You're still healthy, so don't come to this bloody place."

Although tired and cold but mixed with concern, Zi Jin nodded and said: "My daughter-in-law really has something to report to her mother, and I hope her mother can agree."

The eldest princess asked Zi Jin to enter the west end room and sit down across from each other. Then she said, "You can tell me what's going on."

Zi Jin told the story about Lewang Mansion, and of course pointed out that it was Ye Mingxuan's fault, and also expressed his thoughts.

"Why do you want to make a big fuss in the palace? No, if you don't have a body, you can just make trouble. Now you can't do it without a body." The eldest princess did not expect Zi Jin to be so bold.

Zi Jin hurriedly advised: "I'm not really risking my own safety. My daughter-in-law is just asking for my mother's permission to confirm something. Doesn't my mother want to find out the murderer who murdered my father? Strike while the iron is hot, and pass.

It would be a missed opportunity.”
