When Mrs. Zhou saw him suddenly opening his eyes, she was so frightened that she backed away suddenly, and then said angrily: "Are you seeing a ghost? Your eyes were so wide open that someone who didn't know would have thought it was a fake corpse."
After listening to these words, Jinghou roared at her: "Shut up! It's really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. What kind of corpse trick is it? Is this prince dead?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned by his yelling. Seeing how angry he was recently, she didn't dare to provoke him. She brought the hangover soup and said, "Take a sip of the hangover soup first."
Waiting for his throat to be very dry, he took it and drank it all in one gulp, then asked: "Have you eaten tonight, mother?"
Zhou curled her lips, "Who knows? Madam is waiting over there."
When he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, Mr. Zhou stopped him, "What are you doing? It's already late at night. If you want to go, you can go tomorrow. The old lady has already gone to bed."
Jingwai stumbled out and cursed, "What the hell do you know, a person with rheumatism has to sleep day and night? If he sleeps too much during the day, he will be awake at night."
Zhou said bitterly: "I have never seen such filial piety in the past. I don't know if I have done something wrong. Now I want to make up for it. Could it be that you made the old lady angry?"
Jinghou turned around suddenly and said viciously: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will kill you."
When Mrs. Zhou saw him looking like he was about to kill someone, she was so frightened that she fell silent on the spot.
The old lady was indeed awake. Doctor Cao gave her acupuncture to dredge her meridians and blood vessels. Her condition improved slightly, but she was still unable to speak.
Jinghou staggered to the bed, the smell of alcohol still lingering on his body, and walked towards the old lady.
Jinghou sat down in front of the bed and suddenly saw the old lady glaring in her eyes. He was so frightened that he trembled and fell down.
"Mother, mother, are you awake?" He slowly got up and sat upright, not daring to raise his head.
The old lady looked at him. She had been unable to speak since the rheumatism, and her mind replayed the events of his childhood over and over again. The little boy who was swaying and stretching out his hands to call his mother was now living in the most disgusting way.
.
With her blood boiling, she twisted her mouth and squeezed out a sentence, "Can... can you look like a human being?"
Waiting in a daze, when he heard these words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he threw himself on the old lady and burst into tears.
The old lady took a breath, opened her mouth wide, and a line of muddy tears fell from her eyes.
She was so tired that she held on with all her strength and did not dare to die, just because of this evil obstacle!
Sun's mother came in and saw both mother and son crying bitterly. She couldn't help but feel a sore nose and hurriedly closed the door and went out.
The next day, Jinghou went to Prince An's Mansion.
He looked at Prince An, mustered up the courage for the first time, and said in a strong tone: "Your Majesty, the young marquis went back and thought about what you ordered yesterday, and felt that the young marquis cannot handle it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
King An smiled and said, "Oh? So, you don't want to return to officialdom anymore?"
Jingwai said: "I dream about it, but Xiaohou has been useless for most of his life and really has no ability to serve the court. Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."
He cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye!"
King An watched him turn around, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "Jingwai, someone asked me to tell Jingwai a word."
Jinghou was stunned and looked back at Wang An, "Who? What are you talking about?"
Prince An narrowed his eyes, "Mrs. Shang, she asked me to ask the Marquis why he hasn't seen her for so long."
Waiting for the blood on his face to suddenly fade away, his feet became weak, and he knelt down with a pop, his body shaking like a sieve shaking.
Prince An sat down and looked at him sternly, "Master Hou, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. You have never thought about any flesh and blood ties for half your life. You have sacrificed everything for the sake of your official career. Now, you see a big opportunity. You
Are you really willing to give up? You protect the Crown Princess like this, I wonder if she will protect you like this when something happens to you?"
Jinghou knelt on the ground, his body still shaking, and he was about to cry.
"My lord, how did you find out?" he asked in a trembling voice.
He thought that he had done a good job of keeping secrets, and Mrs. Shang would never tell anyone about it. How did Prince An know?
King An sneered, "If you don't know, you can't do anything except yourself. Not only Madam Shang, but also everything about the Marquis. I know everything about the Marquis. Now the Marquis has only two choices, either to act according to yesterday's plan, or I
This matter will be announced to the world, and the Marquis can make his own choice."
Jinghou knelt forward and begged, "No, Your Majesty, everything has been discussed. I beg Your Majesty to keep it a secret."
"Then do as I say." King An said coldly.
Jinghou said with a mournful face, "Your Majesty, if this matter is exposed, it will be a death penalty. Your Majesty, Xiaohou really doesn't dare. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Apart from this, I can do anything Your Majesty asks me to do."
King An looked at him condescendingly without getting angry, "It's a pity that you have no other ability to wait and serve me. If this matter is exposed, you will indeed die, but I will never let you be exposed. If you are exposed,
, then this king will be exposed, will I not hesitate to take my own life? Besides, once your monk’s wife’s affairs are made public, won’t it be a capital crime? I’m afraid it will bring disaster to my family.”
The last sentence is very threatening.
Although Jinghou was confused, he knew that the tiger in front of him was a big tiger, and begging him was of no use.
But he didn't understand why King An was plotting against him? Why was he staring at him?
"How are you thinking, Lord Marquis? There is wealth on one side and abyss on the other. Do you still need to continue to think about it?" King An urged coldly.
Jingwai fell to the ground with a look of despair. Did he still have any choice?
He left Prince An's Mansion with cold limbs and an unprecedented panic in his heart.
After Yu Wenhao was named the prince, he was supposed to move into the East Palace.
However, Yu Wenhao couldn't move because Yuan Qing had just given birth, so he temporarily stayed in the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
Yuan Qingling does not want to live in the East Palace. If she lives in the palace, the main entrance and exit is the palace gate, which is very inconvenient. She will open a medical school in the future and cannot always enter and exit the palace like this.
Therefore, she is now worried about how to tell the palace that they are still living in Prince Chu's Mansion after the full moon.
After she told Yu Wenhao about her troubles, he said: "That's not easy. Ask the abbot to tell the father that our three children were born on the birthday of the Buddha. The place where they were born is the treasure of the children. They need to live in the mansion."
How many years have passed before you can leave? My father and grandfather both listened to the abbot and told him to go ahead and fool him."
Yuan Qingling heard the word "fooling" and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was really a good idea.
If you don't stay in the East Palace, then the child's full moon banquet will be held in the Chu Palace.
There were a lot of things to prepare for the full moon banquet. Aunt Qi went to Mingyue Temple, and Aunt Xi and Tang Yang were very busy with the people in the house.
