Yuan Qingling took out the burn ointment and applied it on her hands. The 18-year-old girl's hands were very fair and tender, and the medicine was very hot. She had not been able to wash it with cold water in time, so now it was a big red area and it hurt a lot.
In fact, she breathed a sigh of relief, but now she calms down and doesn't feel happy at all, because that wonderful woman is her mother-in-law, the mother of the fifth child.
This is actually a very sad thing.
What made her even more sad was her father. She took 700,000 taels, and the Su family also returned hundreds of thousands taels. Presumably, he gave a lot to Concubine Xian. It was by no means what he said he could just scrape together.
, otherwise the wise concubine would not pass on her first and then the fifth child.
The father seemed to be punishing, but he was more like begging.
Beg for the country.
This made Yuan Qingling's heart feel heavy and uncomfortable.
What's even more uncomfortable is that she is powerless to do anything about it. This is not something that can be solved with one million taels of silver, but his situation is so urgent that even if it is hundreds of thousands or one hundred thousand taels, he has to take it first.
The corresponding historical dynasties of her era also had such a situation. When the country was poor, they donated officials and used money to pay for their crimes. However, this situation was mostly during the founding period. Now the Northern Tang Dynasty has been at its peak for a long time.
.
Then, the most likely possibility is that the Northern Tang Dynasty has begun to decline, and the next emperor, if nothing unexpected happens, will be Lao Wu. He will take over this mess and become a more troubled emperor than the current emperor.
When she thought of this, Yuan Qingling's heart became even more unhappy.
After she returned home, she didn't know that Concubine Xian had ordered someone to go to Jingzhao Mansion to announce Yu Wenhao's entry into the palace.
However, Xu Yi came back first in the evening, and Xu Yi, who was always gossiping, couldn't hold back his words. He told Ah Si that when the prince came out of the palace today, he lost his temper and even kicked the wheels of the carriage.
, I hurt my leg while kicking, and I was limping away. The blood was flowing on the ground line by line, which was terrifying.
Ah Si asked: "Then why didn't you catch up and help him bandage his wound?"
Xu Yi shrank his neck, "Who dares?
The prince looked as if he wanted to kill someone at that time, I have never seen him so angry."
Ah Si asked worriedly: "Then where did the prince go?
Didn't you follow?"
"I went to find the Master of the Xiao Sect. The Master of the Xiao Sect bandaged him. He said he would stay there tonight and come back later. He sent me back to tell the Crown Princess. You can go back and tell the Crown Princess. Maybe tonight
The prince will not come back."
Ah Si snorted, but immediately added: "Wouldn't it be a good idea for him to stay with the Master of the Xiao Sect for the night?
The Crown Princess will think too much, so you should go and ask the Crown Prince to come back no matter how late it is."
"They have something to discuss."
Xu Yiyi.
Ah Si nodded, "Okay, I'll go in and talk to the Crown Princess."
Ah Si went in and told Yuan Qingling what Xu Yi said truthfully. After hearing this, Yuan Qingling sighed: "Let him relax over there, he must be feeling very uncomfortable."
Ah Si said: "Sister Yuan, but the owner of the Xiao Sect is a woman, aren't you jealous?"
Yuan Qingling laughed, "He has known the Master of the Xiao Sect for a long time. If there is something between the two of us, it would already be there. I can trust him."
Ah Si smiled, "Can you believe it?
Men cannot be trusted, and besides, this is not your first time being jealous. You are very taboo with women who have unwanted thoughts about him."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "That's different. What I was originally guarding against was not Lao Wu, but those women. But there is no need to guard against Xiao Hongchen. She is upright, independent, self-reliant, and broad-minded. She is not the one I want to guard against.
Plant a woman.”
Ah Si said: "Okay, since you are relieved, we have nothing to worry about. You should go to bed early."
"I'm going to see the child."
Only by looking at their innocent smiling faces can we relieve the sorrow of life.
Hongmei Garden! Xiao Hongchen is the owner of Hongmei Sect. She has a branch in Beijing. She also has her own residence, which is Hongmei Garden.
The gate of Hongmei Garden is closed tonight, and there are gatekeepers guarding it outside.
Red candles were lit high inside. Xiao Hongchen especially liked lighting red candles. Yu Wenhao was used to it. However, after sitting down to treat the wound tonight, he saw that the dragon and phoenix candles were lit. He was filled with anger first.
Next, he looked at Xiao Hongchen and said, "Why did you light the dragon and phoenix candles?
Are you dreaming about getting married?"
Xiao Hongchen threw the blood-stained cotton and towel aside, poured him a cup of tea, glanced at him again, and said angrily: "Nothing!"
Yu Wenhao said seriously: "But, instead of hanging on a tree, you might as well consider Wang Jiang."
"Don't make me curse."
Xiao Hongchen didn't give him a good look and snatched the tea away, "Don't come to my place again if you say such things again."
"For your own good!"
"If it's good for me, then marry me back and let me and the Crown Princess compete with each other, which will make your life miserable."
Xiao Hongchen held a braided red rope in his hand, and slowly wrapped it twice around his wrist. He tied a concentric knot with his skillful hands, but could not tie the end, so he stretched it out and said to Yu Wenhao: "Tie a knot for me.
Knot."
Yu Wenhao tied it for her and said dullly: "You can tie the heart knot yourself, why can't you tie the last finishing knot?"
Xiao Hongchen's brows widened and he revealed a charming smile, "A little joy, you are the most blessed now, why don't you give me a little joy?
Maybe with your line, I can get what I want?"
Yu Wenhao said: "As a human being, you still have to know how to take a step back and don't cling to that one-third of an acre of land. What you say to outsiders doesn't work here. I know the truth. Do you think it's just a change of love?
They are just using you and looking down on you, why don’t you give up?”
Xiao Hongchen pointed at him and warned: "Don't tell your wife about my affairs."
"I didn't say anything. All I said was the empty words you claimed to the outside world."
Yu Wenhao felt guilty when he said this. He seemed to have told Lao Yuan, and what he said was almost close to the truth.
Yu Wenhao had a serious look on his face, "Okay, let's talk about business first without waiting for them."
Xiao Hongchen used scissors to trim the concentric knot much more pleasing to the eye, and then said: "Don't worry, we have just asked people to spread the word, but our Hongmei Sect does not dominate the world, and those who are afraid of me do not dare to take this job.
Son, but Lenglangmen doesn’t know about it.”
"Who is the leader of Lenglang Clan?
Do you have access to it?”
What Yu Wenhao is worried about is Lenglangmen.
"I don't know. It's very mysterious. Moreover, this master is blinded by money. There is a rule under the door. Except for the emperor and the prince, anyone else can accept it as long as he can afford the price."
Yu Wen Haojun said: "Oh?
If you are so blinded by money, why would you exclude me and your father?"
Xiao Hongchen said: "For one thing, it's difficult to kill you, but it's easier to kill you. Wouldn't it be nonsense to kill the emperor?
Are all the Imperial Guards in the palace living on dry food?
Second, after all, he is from the Northern Tang Dynasty. He cannot mess up the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty. If he touches the emperor or His Highness the Crown Prince, it will mess up the political situation and have a great impact. People say that no minister will interfere with political affairs.
It's not that they are irreplaceable, but the emperor and the prince are irreplaceable, so they don't accept it."
"Then Lao Yuan..." Xiao Hongchen laughed, his eyebrows softening, "The princess can be replaced, and it won't affect the overall situation."
