Wu Dingbang was not afraid at all and said with a smile: "As for your wife, she can't go out openly and hide. Everyone is an enemy. The whole family can only be like sewer rats, frightened and in panic all day long. Think about that kind of situation.
Life is worse than Wenxiang Tower..."
"Shut up, shut up!" Yang Zhixu picked up the sword in his hand, stood up and pointed at Wu Dingbang, his eyes red.
On the side, Otoyama's pupils shrank and he whined, hoping that his master would stop irritating this lunatic.
Wu Dingbang ignored it and still looked at Yang Zhixu with a mocking smile on his face: "It turns out that Mr. Yang rescued his wife and children just to let them live this kind of life."
At the end of the sentence, Wu Dingbang's eyes were as sharp as knives and he stared at Yang Zhixu closely: "Mr. Yang, please look back. Even if you die, you can still find a way to live for your wife and children, and you will live up to Zhixu's affection. Otherwise, your affection will only be
What a joke!"
"Shut up, what do you know!" Yang Zhixu desperately stabbed Wu Dingbang with his sword.
Yinshan's eyes widened in horror, and he kept struggling to stop it.
In the end, Yang Zhixu's sword stopped before piercing Wu Dingbang's neck.
Yinshan felt relaxed all over, as if his strength had been drained.
The action just now affected Yang Zhixu's wound, and he coughed. He still pointed his sword at Wu Dingbang, covered his chest with his other hand, and stared at Wu Dingbang.
He knew that what the people in front of him said was true. In that situation, even if they escaped with difficulty, they would not live a human life.
They are pursued by the court in front of them, and pursued by dead men in the back. One day, they will die in the gutter, their bodies rotting and ignored...
After a long while, Yang Zhixu put down his sword and suddenly laughed like crazy.
He laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes: "The most important thing is to attack the heart. Haha, Mr. Wu is so smart. No wonder he was so highly regarded by the emperor that he almost got me."
His smile suddenly faded, and he looked back at Wu Dingbang grimly: "If I could have known Mr. Wu earlier, Yang would have made you my confidant. But now it is no longer possible. Don't worry, if I can save people, I will help you then."
Have fun with your servant."
Wu Dingbang smiled and said no more.
At this moment, there was a slight movement in the courtyard. Yang Zhixu came to the window alertly, took a peek, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Zhixu's confidant came back with a piece of news: Yang Zhixu's wife and children are now in the Criminal Department and will be taken to the jail of the Internal Security Department in a few days.
……
Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the Queen Mother has no energy.
On this day, the concubines paid their respects, and the Queen Mother waved her hands and stood up to leave, leaving behind a room full of concubines looking at each other.
Nanny Qin's sadness is visible to the naked eye. She is worried. The Queen Mother could not sleep all night long and refused to tell anyone to tell the emperor.
I asked the imperial doctor to check my pulse, but he only said that it was a bitter summer, and the insomnia syndrome was getting worse with the arrival of summer, so I boiled medicine to treat the Queen Mother, but it didn't matter.
The Queen Mother rarely goes out of the palace every day. The sun outside is very hot, so she doesn't want to go out. She stays in the palace every day and suffers.
Aunt Qin tried her best to do nothing.
She tried the sour plum soup recipe given by Lihua, but the Queen Mother was unwilling to drink it. Seeing that the soup was dark, she said it was like medicine, so she waved it away from a distance and refused to drink it.
Aunt Qin is so sad.
The concubines who were left behind looked at each other, and even if there was any disagreement, they could not break out in Zhuang Ning Palace. They only exchanged a few sarcastic words and left.
Lihua also followed the concubines and left with low eyebrows.
Before leaving, she hesitated for a while at the entrance of Zhuangning Palace.
She took a brief look at the Queen Mother's complexion, and it didn't look good. There was a faint greenish-black under her eyes, and her complexion was pale, the kind of white that doesn't see much sunlight all day long. She was even helped to walk with her hands on her waist. Lihua felt that she might know something about the Queen Mother's symptoms and wanted to find Nanny Qin, but she was busy and absent, so she had to give up.
As time went by, the new concubines gradually integrated into the harem, and the little friendship in Qunfang Palace slowly dissipated in everyone's heart, and most of them had people to follow.
In their eyes, Mr. Wu's aura was no longer there after he entered the palace. Every day when he went to greet him, he would either lower his head or say nothing. Compared with other high-ranking concubines, he was no longer dazzling.
Zhou Yuzhen was particularly happy. When she saw Lihua, her eyes flashed with a dark light and her smile was unclear, as if to say: My cousin's abilities are nothing more than this.
Mr. Wu fell silent, but it was the unexpected Wu Fang'er who excelled. Although most of the new concubines still looked down on her in their hearts, they no longer had the spirit they had when they were in Qunfang Hall, and they would greet her with a smile when they saw her.
These days, the emperor summoned a new concubine every day, but Wu Fang'er was not summoned.
But everyone gradually came back to their senses and realized that Wu Fang'er was different from them and was special. Just look at the generous reward in the middle of the night. It was to appease Wu Fang'er.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages slowly grew in everyone's heart, and most of the new concubines fell into the dye vat of the harem and gradually merged into one.
When they saw Wu Fang'er's maid inviting Li Hua to Jinghong Hall, they stood watching from a distance and did not come forward. They knew that Wu Fang'er was entangled with Li Hua.
Lihua smiled and listened to what was said, and said in a friendly manner: "Thank you, Meiren Wu, for inviting me, but I have something else to do, so I won't go. Say hello to Meiren Wu for me."
If you go there even though you know something is weird, you are stupid.
"My mother-in-law invites me with kindness, why should Wu Meiren reject her thousands of miles away? What's more, my mother-in-law's foot injury was caused by Wu Meiren."
Linglong's attitude is respectful, but her words are full of profound meanings, which make people think endlessly.
She stood up and saluted: "The refreshments in Jinghong Hall are ready. My master is willing to resolve the old feud with Wu Meiren, and I would like to ask Wu Meiren to show her respect." There was a strong momentum that she would not be able to afford it if she didn't go.
Zhichun's anger rose from the soles of her feet. If there weren't so many people present, she would have beaten this palace maid to death. She is more annoying than Wu Meiren if she doesn't talk to people.
No wonder there have been whispers in the palace these days that Wu Meiren was injured by her master, and the source is here!
Lihua's smile deepened. She hadn't even gone to trouble the palace maid, but she was here to provoke her.
Hey, interesting!
Lihua was about to say something, but when she saw something in the distance, she immediately changed her mind.
She took a step forward and helped the person up kindly: "Your name is Linglong, right? You misunderstood. Wu Meiren and I have never had any quarrel. How can we resolve the quarrel?"
Linglong suddenly raised her head, sweat appeared on her forehead, and a cramp-like pain came from her arm, which almost made her faint.
She gritted her teeth and pinched her palms with her fingernails, trying not to scream.
It’s just that this martial beauty looks so gentle and graceful, but how can she be so strong!!!
Do you think that this will allow her to shout in public and violate the palace rules?
But that’s it!
Pear blossom eyes lifted the person up with admiration, and her words were clearly heard by the surrounding people: "Linglong, your master's invitation to me is related to the matter of changing my name, right?"
She let go and sighed: "Your master chased me to change my name a few days ago and accidentally twisted my foot. I feel guilty. It's just that when we enter the palace, we are members of the royal family. Our names are Queen Mother and Long Live."
Master, I can’t be the master. Thank you very much for the invitation, master. I have something else to do today, so I won’t go.”
As soon as Linglong's arms were loosened, the area where she was being supported felt sore and numb, and she knew that no one would be invited today.
She forced a smile and said stiffly: "In this way, I won't disturb Beauty Wu anymore. I will tell the master what the beauty said and leave."
Salute, take a few steps back, turn around and leave.
There was a haze in her eyes, and she lowered her head and walked forward.
When he saw the person coming, he recognized the clothes and quickly stepped aside: "Mother Li, okay."
Nanny Li nodded and walked to Zhuang Ning Palace with a palace maid. She had something to do with Nanny Qin.
Linglong and others passed by and were about to continue walking.
At this moment, a voice of "Ah" came from Wu Meiren not far away: "Where is the Gannan fragrant wood hundred-year-old bracelet that the Queen Mother gave me? It was still there just now."
