Chapter 129 Blood dripping from the secret room

Chapter 129 Blood dripping in the secret room

"Princess, you may have forgotten that when you married He Fan, the old woman strongly opposed it. The reason for this is because the Queen Mother treats the old woman like a sister, and you are her heartthrob."

As soon as these words came out, the attitude of Princess Nandu, who was full of anger and unwillingness, immediately softened and she no longer insisted on biting them.

"Perhaps there are rebels who are causing trouble behind the scenes, and I and the emperor's brother have been taken advantage of. I'm sorry!"

There was a misunderstanding. Princess Nandu had already apologized. As courtiers, Shangguan Yuan and his wife had no reason to blame them. If they suffered a dumb loss, the matter would be reduced to a minor matter.

Later, Princess Nandu invited herself to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning, and the negative impact of this incident gradually faded.

At the end of the year, as soon as the mourning period expired, the emperor accepted Shen Hou's second daughter Ruoying as his successor.

It is said that the emperor's eldest son Sun Lue fell in love with Shen Ruoying, firstly because she looked similar to the former queen, and secondly because of her temperament and talents.

Marquis Shen had no sons, but only got two daughters when he was old, and he loved them very much.

Everyday education is a matter of great expense.

Especially the youngest daughter, who is only eighteen years old. In addition to playing chess, calligraphy and painting, she is also proficient in running a business.

As soon as he turns twenty, he will hire a son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, there was a mutiny at the end of last year, and Empress Shen and the young prince were both gone. The emperor's eyes were always wandering in his backyard. Unable to cure them, he followed his wish and married his youngest daughter into the palace.

And Princess Nandu, who was guarding the imperial mausoleum, returned to the palace justifiably because of this happy event.

She saw that the new queen was gentle and soft, as if she were made of water, so she thought she was pink and could be bullied.

As soon as the wedding ceremony was over, she acted like an eldest sister and a mother, and taught her younger siblings the rules in a grand manner.

Who would have thought that Xiao Shenhou was a better chess player and had made a three-part agreement with the emperor long before the marriage.

One of them is to give Princess Nandu a princess mansion, so that she can only live outside the palace after returning from the imperial mausoleum.

There is a clear distinction between closeness and distance.

As for the various rules of Princess Nandu, Xiao Shen also behaved dignifiedly and appropriately, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, and was more organized and disciplined than her elder sister, Da Shen.

As soon as Princess Nandu came back, she was in trouble and complained endlessly.

The emperor kept a distance from her, and Prince Zhang even avoided her, so she had no choice but to go to Prince Luo to express her bitterness.

Princess Luo Xiao Lian'er was afraid that she would bring harm to her husband and was very annoyed with her. As soon as she saw her coming, she tried every means to get Prince Luo away.

Princess Nandu felt depressed, so she had no choice but to burn incense and worship the gods.

Going around in circles doesn't mean enemies don't get together.

Princess Nandu actually got along warmly with Qianru's vicious mother-in-law.

At the beginning of the year, Qianru went to shopkeeper Tao with her new work.

Shopkeeper Tao was well-informed and quietly told her that Princess Nandu had been eating fast at Miaofa Temple with her mother-in-law, Shangguan Liu, in the past few days.

A few months ago they were driving people to death, but now they are eating fast together.

What kind of injustice is this?

Qianru felt uneasy after hearing this.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned home, he met Shangguan Liu's personal nanny, Aunt Zi Ning, talking to Shangguan Yuan.

The meaning behind the words is that Mrs. Shangguan Liu has been ill recently and is very concerned about her son Shangguan Yuan. She hopes that he can go to Miaofa Temple to visit him.

Shangguan Yuan's attitude was cold and firm, but Qianru could tell from the sadness in his deep eyes when he looked at Aunt Zi Ning's back that he was also concerned about Shangguan Liu.

This made her feel very conflicted.

She can forgive a man who was taken advantage of, but she can never forgive a mother-in-law who harbors evil intentions from beginning to end.

Early the next morning, Princess Nandu sent someone together with the Taoist nun from Miaofa Temple to invite Shangguan Yuan to visit her mother.

It is said that the Shangguan Liu family has been out of water since yesterday afternoon, and now her life is hanging by a thread.

As a child, if you don't even see your mother for the last time, no matter how much hidden secrets there are, you will inevitably be criticized if it is spread.

For the sake of her husband's official reputation, Qianru compromised.

She personally took the cloak and dragged Shangguan Yuan to the Miaofa Temple.

As the most popular Taoist temple in the capital, Miaofa Temple is very popular among high-ranking ladies.

Especially during the Lantern Festival, there were so many pilgrims that they crowded in and blocked the road up the mountain.

Princess Nandu's maid told Shangguan Liu that her condition was very critical.

Qianru could see that Shangguan Yuan was anxious, so she gave in again and persuaded him to squeeze up the mountain first.

But as soon as she took a few steps up, she was quickly squeezed back down by the crowd of people descending the mountain, and she couldn't move a step for a while.

In the afternoon, the number of pilgrims gradually thinned out, and she managed to reach the middle of the mountain.

The Taoist nun said that there is a path nearby that leads directly to the back mountain. It might be faster to walk there, but the road is slippery and muddy.

Qianru did not want to suffer this fate, and the Taoist nun was too lazy to accompany her, so she left alone.

When Princess Nandu's maid saw the Taoist nun walking down the path, she ran after her like flying.

Qianru was wearing heavy clothes and could not chase her. She was too lazy to chase her, so she walked slowly along the road up the mountain alone.

By the time she arrived at the temple, there were already ten or so pilgrims.

The Taoist temple was empty.

She donated some sesame oil money and was then arranged to rest in a wing in the inner courtyard.

I heard that the wooden house built by Shangguan Liu Qing was on the mountain, and it would take a while to climb up.

She was too lazy to move, so she spent money to beg a Taoist nun to go to Shangguan Yuan to report the news.

It was very cold in the wing, and the only small stove for heating could not meet her needs.

She had no choice but to close the door tightly, and then pull over the dirty and old quilt on the couch to keep out the cold.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.

The doors and windows rustled in the cold wind.

The tea kettle in the room has become cold and frozen.

Shangguan Yuan hadn't come yet, so she guessed that Shangguan Liu's condition must be very difficult. At this moment, her mother was kind and her son was filial, and she couldn't bear to leave.

So, half-angry, she pushed the table in the room and blocked the door.

Then he got into bed.

It was much colder at night than during the day, and the charcoal fire had been exhausted for a long time.

She couldn't bear it anymore and thought of going to Shangguan Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the door was locked at some point, and even the windows were sealed.

Her heart tightened and she felt something was wrong.

Shangguan Liu and Princess Nandu, these two "enemies" wished them bad luck, but now they suddenly showed tenderness.

What do they want to do?

She shouted anxiously for help, but no one came to pay attention.

Tired of shouting and unable to break through the door, he had to sit back and wait for death.

The room was getting colder and colder, and the quilt on her body could no longer meet her needs.

She was forced to get out of the quilt and look for clothes in the side room to keep warm.

Even if it’s a coat that’s extremely dirty and tattered, it’s fine.

However, the closet was empty, and the boxes stacked at the foot of the wall were also empty.

She was so disappointed that she subconsciously knelt down and searched the floor of the bed.

I accidentally discovered a dark shadow.

Just when she was about to take a closer look, the candle burned out.

What could it be?

She couldn't reach it with her hands, so she had to crawl in half of her body and finally touched it.

It's soft, like a coat.

She was so happy that she tried her best to pull it out, but found that the coat was unusually heavy and could not be pulled away.

It’s a bit strange!

She was brave enough to touch it carefully, but she was immediately frightened.

It's not a coat, it seems to be a person, and there is a smell of blood on him.

Could it be a dead person?

She was so frightened that she crawled out from under the couch in a hurry.
