Setting up a sack is a familiar thing. Last time I trapped money, this time it was almost the same with people.
The Crown Princess didn't even have time to shout before she was carried away in a whoosh!
But they said that the two female officials were clearly following the Crown Princess, but as soon as they turned a corner, the Crown Princess disappeared.
It's true that the Crown Princess turned into the alley before the two of them, but she didn't run away in the blink of an eye, right? So fast?
The two quickly came to the carriage and opened the curtain, only to see that the carriage was empty.
One of them asked the Ouchi master: "Have you seen the Crown Princess?"
The master Ouchi asked strangely: "Isn't the Crown Princess with you?"
The female official said: "The Crown Princess just came over! Didn't you see it?"
Master Ouchi asked: "When did the Crown Princess come here?"
The female officer said anxiously: "He's obviously here!"
Master Ouchi snorted coldly: "Won't I know when you come here?"
"you……"
"Forget it, Sister Ming." Another female officer named Qing shook her head, "Stop arguing, it's better to find the Crown Princess quickly. Maybe she is nearby, and she might have gone to meet someone."
Ming female official Didi Gu: "How could the Crown Princess leave us alone to meet people?"
The female official of the Qing Dynasty said: "Look for it first, and then we'll go look for it separately."
The three of them searched separately, but this was a straight alley with no side roads. There were only many carriages parked there. They searched for the carriages one by one, but there was no sign of the Crown Princess in any of them.
"Did you really see the Crown Princess walking into the alley?" the Ouchi expert asked.
Official Ming said anxiously: "The Crown Princess is right in front of us. She turned a corner. Did she go into an alley or go somewhere?"
Master Ouchi raised his head suspiciously and looked at the rooftops on both sides. Could it be that he was kidnapped?
As the night falls, the last trace of orange light from the sunset floats stubbornly on the eaves of the brackets, reflecting a dazzling stream of light.
Gu Jiao tapped her toes and was as light as a swallow. She carried a large sack and flew over the eaves. She entered the orchard near Bishui Hutong through the back door.
The orchard is semi-open, and children from nearby alleys love to play in it. If you pick fruit, you have to buy it by the pound, which is cheaper than what is on the market.
Behind the orchard there is a tool shed that was converted from a horse shed. It has been in disrepair for a long time, leaking air and rain, and is no longer used.
Gu Jiao opened the door and threw the sack in without showing any pity.
The princess was knocked all the way around, her intestines were almost broken, and she suddenly fell to the ground. The pain made her exclaim: "Ah - who are you?"
Gu Jiao didn't want to talk nonsense to her and simply took the sack off her head.
After jostling all the way in the sack, her bun became loose and her hairpin fell off, making her whole person a little embarrassed.
She subconsciously raised her hand to block the light in front of her, and found that it was not too dazzling. Then she looked at the robber standing in front of her.
It turned out to be a woman, wearing a gaudy peacock feather mask.
A trace of inexplicable surprise flashed across her eyes: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
Gu Jiao walked up to her casually, looked at her condescendingly, reached out her hand, grabbed her skirt, lifted her up, and then called her directly against the wall.
Scaring her husband with a cat?
hehe.
The Crown Princess has never been treated like this before. Although her natal family is not worth mentioning compared to the Du family and Luo Guogong's family, it is still a scholarly family. The girls in the family are all raised and raised, and later become the young marquis's children.
My fiancée is a star among all the stars, and no one will not fawn over me.
The biggest grievance was that she went to Liang Kingdom and was ignored by other countries, but that was not directed at her.
Being put in a sack, like a chicken, and slapped in the mouth, this is simply unbelievable, isn't it?
"You..." She fell to the ground and looked at Gu Jiao coldly, trying to intimidate him with her powerful aura as a princess.
However--
Excuse me.
Gu Jiao arrested the person, Duang! Duang! Duang!
Time after time, like driving piles, I want to plant her into the ground!
"You're crazy! I'm - ah -"
"Prince——ah——"
"Grey——ah——"
The princess was beaten until she collapsed and couldn't even speak.
Gu Jiao's small fists were beaten from sunset to dark, and she was successfully beaten into a pig's head.
Gu Jiao blew her little fist: "It's not easy for me, I'm so tired."
The princess with a crooked nose and slanted mouth: "..."
Who is it that has trouble?
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and then the door of the house, which was ajar, was kicked open, and the Ouchi expert beside the princess rushed in.
He glanced at the Crown Princess who was in a state of utter embarrassment, and the veins on his forehead twitched: "Stop! Let go of the Crown Princess!"
Gu Jiao clapped her hands: "Oh."
The master Ouchi didn't care whether the opponent was a girl or not, he rushed over and started fighting with Gu Jiao. His every move was a killing move, and the two of them were fighting together instantly.
Master Ouchi will soon realize that stopping Gu Jiao was his biggest mistake tonight.
In fact, Gu Jiao was almost beaten and was ready to leave. If the master in the palace did not fight against Gu Jiao, he could take the crown princess away immediately.
Unfortunately, the two of them fought.
As expected of an expert, Gu Jiao was a little hard to resist at first, but after dozens of moves, Gu Jiao gradually got better and gradually became a tie with him, and after a while, she seemed to have the upper hand.
Looking at this posture, a powerful insider might not be able to control this girl.
Whether she could control it or not, Gu Jiao was too lazy to beat the Crown Princess again, but the Crown Princess didn't think so. She thought that if she didn't leave now, she would be beaten soon, so she took advantage of the powerful master to drag Gu Jiao away.
When she was staying, she used all her strength to escape.
She was lucky. She was running away in a panic, but she met Qin Chuyu who was playing in the orchard.
Qin Chuyu, Xiao Jingkong, and Xu Congee threw away the young eunuch and the servants of the Xu family, and ran to a big jujube tree. Xiao Jingkong liked to eat the jujubes from this tree the most, but unfortunately there were no jujubes at the moment.
But just have a big bird's nest.
"I'll climb up first." Xu Churui said.
He is the youngest son of the Minister of War. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He is not too spoiled. He climbs trees with a swish, and he climbed up in no time.
The small space was also covered with trees.
In the end, Qin Chuyu was left.
Qin Chuyu is fat and spoiled. He can't even climb a higher stool, let alone climb a tree.
"Oh, you're like this!" Xiao Jingkong was so anxious that he showed him a demonstration on top of him, "Hold your hands, cross your legs, move your hands first, then your feet, stick your butt out, and go up!"
Qin Chuyu tried it twice and actually climbed a little bit.
At this moment, the Crown Princess appeared. She was usually a very calm person, but people's fear of the unknown could always overwhelm reason. Gu Jiao didn't want to do anything, so she kept beating her, making her
I was so frightened that I couldn't even care about my appearance and identity.
When she saw Qin Chuyu, it was as if she saw a life-saving straw, and she rushed towards Qin Chuyu: "Xiao Qi——"
Qin Chuyu finally climbed a few feet high. When he turned his head, he saw a pig-headed face. He was so frightened that he exclaimed: "Ghost!"
He kicked the opponent in the face!
The only intact nose of the Crown Princess was crooked by Qin Chuyu, causing her nose to bleed!
Qin Chuyu was even more frightened: "Ah ah ah! I can't survive! I'm going to fall!"
Qin Chuyu's hands and feet became weak and he fell to the ground.
Xiao Jingkong and Xu Congee saw this and hurriedly climbed down to help him.
The princess held back the severe pain, covered her bleeding nose, and said, "Xiaoqi, it's me! I'm the emperor's wife! Where are your palace and carriage? Leave with the emperor's wife quickly!"
When she was so excited, she even forgot to hide her and Qin Chuyu's royal status. Xiao Jingkong and Xu Congee simply couldn't understand what Huang Sao and Hong Sao were talking about!
"Ahhh! Don't come here!" Qin Chuyu was so frightened by the ghostly appearance of the princess that he retreated on the ground.
Xiao Jingkong is a smart kid. Based on his rich life experience, he instantly came to the conclusion: "Brother Xiaoqi, brother Congee, she is a flower girl!"
This was the trick Paihuazi used when he and Ming'er's brother were kidnapped!
Pretend to know them, say they are their children, and take them away without anyone suspecting them!
Xu Jinggong felt that what Xiao Jingkong said made sense, and in addition, this was indeed not the imperial sister-in-law in Qin Chuyu's memory, so the three of them unanimously concluded that this was a philanderer who abducted children.
I can’t bear to shoot flowers!
The three little beans had a strong sense of justice, so they found a stick and beat Paihuazi severely.
So, after being beaten violently by Gu Jiao with small fists, the Crown Princess was beaten by three cheap men from the Imperial College with small sticks.
Qin Chuyu is still taking the lead, where can he go to reason?
-
On the other side, Marquis Xuanping didn't know the tragic experience of the princess. He got on the carriage back home, and the driver was Chang Jing.
Halfway through the carriage, he suddenly asked Chang Jing to stop the carriage.
"Chang Jing." He said.
"Huh?" Chang Jing turned around and opened the curtain to look at him.
There was no hand lamp in the carriage, so the light was slightly dim, but there were candlelight and moonlight on the street, which filtered in through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the face of Marquis Xuanping that had become more mature and beautiful with the passage of time.
Chang Jing is blind and can't see what's so good about this person.
Marquis Xuanping sighed: "Is there anything you are afraid of?"
Chang Jing thought about it seriously and shook his head: "No."
Marquis Xuanping looked at him with doubt: "Nothing?"
Chang Jing lowered his head: "Cockroach."
Marquis Xuanping: "..."
How many cockroaches are you afraid of, the number one killer of the Dark Night Gate?
"Dirty." Chang Jing explained aggrievedly.
When Chang Jing was very young, he ate a few cockroaches in his own food. Others deliberately disgusted him, but the result was that he was really disgusted. From then on, when he saw cockroaches, he would think of eating them, and his scalp would feel numb.
of.
Marquis Xuanping raised his eyebrows and said with some pride: "At least Ah Heng is afraid of cats and is more promising than you."
Chang Jing's mouth twitched, what sense of presence are you looking for here?
Having said that, Marquis Xuanping really didn't expect Aheng to be afraid of cats. When he thought about it carefully, he was such an incompetent father that he didn't even know his son's taboos.
Marquis Xuanping hesitated for a moment, then he changed his mind and said, "Don't go back home yet, go to Bishui Hutong, and find me a cat."
Chang Jing quickly found a wild cat on the roadside. Marquis Xuanping carried the poor little wild cat and frowned. Can this thing be used to test whether he is Aheng?
Gu Jiao and Xiao Jingkong had not returned home after dark, so Xiao Liulang decided to go out and look for them. As soon as he crossed the threshold of the front yard, he saw a familiar carriage parked at the door.
Marquis Xuanping sat on the outer seat, holding the wild cat in his hand with disgust.
He had made up his mind to use this cat to test Xiao Liulang. However, the moment Xiao Liulang walked out of the door, he instinctively stuffed the cat into Chang Jing's arms and blocked it with his broad body.
Chang Jing.
He moved so fast that Xiao Liulang didn't see the cat, only felt that he was acting strangely.
Xiao Liulang ignored him and walked out of the alley expressionlessly.
Chang Jing looked at the wild cat that was suddenly stuffed into his arms and asked, "Aren't you going to test it?"
Marquis Xuanping sighed: "No more testing." At least there is no need for this testing.
"Why?" Chang Jing was puzzled.
Marquis Xuanping sighed: "I'm afraid if he is really Ah Heng."
Chang Jing looked at the wild cat in her arms and then at Xuan Pinghou: "Isn't it great that it belongs to Master Aheng?"
Marquis Xuanping said bitterly: "No, if it were him, he would be frightened by this cat."
Understanding complex emotions is a killer's shortcoming. Just as Gu Jiao cannot understand Yao's choices in relationships, Chang Jing cannot understand Xuan Pinghou's caution in front of Xiao Liulang.
Chang Jing asked: "Do you still want this cat?"
Xuanping Hou Dan said: "No, we will also clean up all the wild cats in the house."
--
The two female officials finally found the crown princess who was being treated as a philanderer in the orchard. The crown princess could no longer be described as unrecognizable. When the female officials saw that it was Qin Chuyu who was leading the beating, they simply didn't know what to do.
It was impossible to order an arrest. It was true that the Crown Princess was the Emperor's daughter-in-law, but Qin Chuyu was still the direct son of the Emperor and the Queen.
Besides, it's too embarrassing to be beaten like this by others. If word spreads, do you still want the Crown Princess's face?
In the end, the two female officials took the Crown Princess away...er, no, dragged her away on the pretext of taking her to report to the official.
After Qin Chuyu returned to the palace, he even boasted to his father about how he had beaten away a prostitute, and was highly praised by the emperor.
Zhuang Mansion.
The doctor removed Prince An's sutures, changed the medicine for the last time, told him to stay in bed and rest more, and then left with the medicine box.
The servants sent the doctor out of the house.
Master Zhuang winked, Wu Yang understood, walked out of the house, and closed the two doors from the outside.
Prince An sat on the bedside, pulled the quilt to cover his injured leg, and said calmly: "It's getting late, grandpa should rest early."
Taifu Zhuang's eyes were slightly cold as he said: "Marquis Xuanping has gone too far in bullying others. I will avenge this revenge for you sooner or later!"
Prince An lowered his eyes and sneered at the corner of his lips: "How easy is it? He is your Majesty's brother-in-law and your majesty's brother-in-law. He also holds military power and can respond to hundreds of calls. Who can do anything to win over him?"
Taifu Zhuang's eyes were a little colder: "If the Queen Mother is still in the court, where will it be her turn to make trouble for Marquis Xuanping!"
When it came to Empress Dowager Zhuang, Prince An did not refute her.
She was indeed a strategizing woman who controlled the affairs of two dynasties. When Marquis Xuanping was still playing in the mud, she was already the most favored queen of the Sixth Palace.
But no matter how powerful a person is, there are times when he stumbles. How did he end up contracting leprosy?
Taifu Zhuang said coldly: "You have misjudged Xiao Liulang. I'm afraid he has recognized the Queen Mother a long time ago. His purpose of approaching the Queen Mother from the beginning was not simple. It's a shame that we were all kept in the dark. In order to let the Queen Mother
He brought the Queen Mother into the capital and persuaded Your Majesty to reopen the Imperial College. Fortunately, the Imperial College has not fallen into the hands of Your Majesty, and there is still room for recovery. But no matter what, the Queen Mother cannot continue to stay in their hands."
This time, he did not refute his grandfather's words.
However, he didn't know what he thought of. He was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What does grandfather plan to do?"
Taifu Zhuang dusted his wide sleeves and said, "Come to the door openly and recognize the Queen Mother!"
In Bishui Hutong, the old lady had just finished playing cards. She pushed the card table and said, "That's it for today, no more playing!"
The neighbors went back to their homes still unsatisfied.
Yes, even though I lost money, I still had a lot of fun playing.
This is mainly due to the old lady's winning strategy. The old lady will not play cards with the same people at the same table every day, nor will she only cut one person's leeks all the time. For example, if Aunt Zhao lost yesterday, she will let her win a little bit today.
Everyone thinks it's normal if there are winners and losers.
But if you calculate the account carefully, what they lose is their own, and what they win is their companion's. No one wins the capital from the old lady.
The old lady stretched herself and went to see Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun next door.
Gu Yan was lazy and fell asleep on the bed, while Gu Xiaoshun was sitting on the small bench doing carpentry.
The old lady was very satisfied.
Xiaoshun, this kid, is on the road.
She doesn't have high demands on Gu Yan, she just wants to live.
Yao was doing embroidery, and Liulang and the other three were doing some embroidery outside. They didn't know what they were doing outside, and they still didn't come back even after dark.
The old lady was hungry and went to the kitchen house to find something to eat.
Aunt Fang went to the embroidery building to get some clothes, and in the evening the old lady was offering wine and cooking.
Lao Jijiu fried some homemade side dishes, stewed a can of asparagus and chicken soup, and fried some brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
Next is the food prepared for Xiao Qingkong alone - Lily egg custard, tofu vegetarian meatballs, stir-fried vegetarian shrimps with vegetables.
"Have the children come back?" Old Jijiu asked, his tone familiar and his address natural, exactly the same as when Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao talked about their children.
"Not yet." The old lady started looking for something to eat.
"Here." Old Jijiu seemed to have known that she would be hungry early on, so he took out a small plate of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes that he had prepared separately. This plate of glutinous rice cakes was sprinkled with white sesame seeds. None of the children liked eating brown sugar sprinkled with white sesame seeds.
Glutinous rice cake.
The old lady didn't realize anything was wrong. She held the plate, sat down on the small bench, and started eating.
One is busy in front of the stove, and the other is eating behind the stove. The oil in the pot is sizzling, and the room is full of butter and green onions.
Winter winter winter!
There was a knock on the door from outside.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Yao put down her embroidery work and walked out.
Lao Jijiu quickly walked out of the kitchen house and said to the twin Yao, "I'll come, I'll come!"
"Ah, okay." Mrs. Yao obediently returned to the house.
The courtyard door was actually ajar, so he must not be a neighbor, otherwise he would just push the door open and enter.
"Who is it?" he asked as he opened the wooden door.
He saw Taifu Zhuang at the door, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, he closed the door, smeared some wall dust on his face, then opened the door again, and asked in a strange voice
: "Who is it? What's the matter?"
Mr. Zhuang looked at him strangely, obviously baffled by his opening and closing behavior. Then he saw that his face was covered with dirt and his clothes were simple. He immediately regarded him as a servant in the yard, so he stopped talking.
I should take a closer look at the old sacrificial wine.
Otherwise, if you look a few times, you can still barely recognize something.
Mr. Zhuang Taifu said: "Call your old lady out. I'll see her if I have something to do."
Lao Jiejiu had not expected that Mrs. Zhuang would personally come to visit her, and that Empress Dowager Zhuang would not be able to recognize her family.
You must know that before Empress Dowager Zhuang lost her memory, the descendant she loved the most was Prince An. When Prince An went to Chen State as a hostage, Empress Dowager Zhuang was so angry that she couldn't eat for days and nights, and everyone became ill.
Now Liu Lang has taken away the new champion that should belong to Prince An. If her memory is awakened by the Zhuang family, Liu Lang will be in trouble.
Lao Jijiu puffed up his chest and said, "What old lady? Who are you? Did you find the wrong person? Let's go, let's go! If you don't leave, I will report to the police!"
"A dog slave dares to stand in the way of my master! Get out of the way!" The guard beside Taifu Zhuang stepped forward and pushed the old priest away mercilessly.
Lao Jijiu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, a hand reached out and caught him in time.
He turned around and saw that it was over, the Demon Queen who had brought disaster to the country had come out.
The old lady didn't even look at the guard, and her cold eyes fell on Taifu Zhuang's face.
She was dressed in common clothes, with no extra hairpins or jewelry on her head, but her noble aura seemed to burst out from her bones. Even the old priest who was supported by her couldn't help but tremble.
This was the most frightening time I had been with her for so long, and it was even more arrogant than when she came to rob him of his private money with a knife.
