Chapter one hundred and twentieth, need a strong maid
What frightened the horse was an ordinary carriage, not far from Yu Xijiao.
The crowd dispersed, and the carriage behind them also slowly turned its head. The carriage dispersed with the crowd. Suddenly, a carriage screamed and raised its legs high, as if it would step on someone.
There are so many people in this place, if you step on anyone, something will happen.
The coachman reacted quickly and immediately stopped the horse. The horse's legs were raised high, and finally it slowly fell down. The two people nearby were frightened and fell to the ground and were injured. The others were fine and basically nothing serious.
A false alarm.
Yu Xijiao's carriage was very close, and she vaguely heard the sound of pain coming from the carriage. When the horse raised its legs, the front half of the carriage was also lifted up. The people in the carriage may have been injured.
The crowd quickly retreated to the side, away from the carriages here, for fear that such an accident would happen again.
"Still not leaving?" Feng Yu shook his sleeves gracefully.
"The prince's carriage is still inside." Yu Xijiao reached out and pointed in the direction of the alley. She originally wanted to leave from the alley, but now she was blocked.
"Just follow me." Feng Yu said nonchalantly.
Yu Xi was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Why don't you, Prince, get out of the car first and go to your carriage?"
"Don't worry, I will only attract people's attention if I go down now." Feng Yu said with a half-smile.
"Qingyue, the carriage is following the carriage in the alley." Yu Xijiao said outside the car window.
"Yes, girl." Qingyue's voice came from the window, which made Yu Xijiao breathe a sigh of relief.
The carriage slowly turned around and went to the side. The horse was frightened just now. Now the carriage drivers were very careful.
"Why, are you afraid that this prince can't tolerate a little maid?" Feng Yu chuckled.
Yu Xi's face paused for a moment, but her smile was extremely respectful: "I don't dare, I'm just afraid that Qingyue will squeeze into the crowd and join in the fun, and won't be able to respond for a while."
"It seems that there are fewer people around you. Would you like me to give you a capable maid? Or just give you two more secret guards?" Feng Yu glanced sideways at her, his eyebrows were lively and handsome, and he even looked...
A bit tranquil.
No matter how powerful a maid is, she is just a maid, and her role is much smaller than that of a secret guard, let alone two secret guards. Feng Yu's tone was extremely frivolous, showing a bit of nonchalance.
Eighteen is reserved for Yu Chengxuan. When Yu Chengxuan leaves one day, there will indeed be few people around.
Yu Xijiao's watery eyes slid across Feng Yu's face, then she looked out the window again and was silent for a moment.
"It looks like you chose the secret guard! The secret guard is pretty good, but the one who just watched the fun just made me more injured." Feng Yu said lazily, indicating something.
This easily reminded Yu Xijiao of the horse-frightening incident just now.
He looked deeply at Feng Yu again, and then smiled at Feng Yu: "Your Majesty, I want a maid, a maid with stronger strength."
"Just a maid?" Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, and his beautiful thin lips curved into a smile that was not a smile.
"I'm just a daughter of a noble family. I usually visit the inner courtyard, so a maid is a must." Yu Xijiao's eyes flashed slightly.
A dark look flashed in Feng Yu's eyes, and then he smiled: "Okay, since you have chosen a maid, then let's just be a maid!"
While talking, the carriage stopped.
Feng Yu stood up, got off the carriage, and got into the carriage in front. The two carriages maintained a leisurely pace, exited the alley in order, and went their separate ways.
"Qingyue, come in!" The carriage stopped at the intersection, and Yu Xijiao said out the window.
"Yes!" Qingyue responded and climbed into the carriage and entered the carriage.
"Whose carriage had an accident outside just now?" Yu Xijiao asked after seeing that Qingyue was fine. Just now she had to pay attention to Feng Yu. She actually just glanced at the carriage that had the accident.
"My servant doesn't know, but the carriage driver looks unusual. There are two guards in front and behind the carriage. They are paying attention to passers-by while guarding the carriage, and they have swords hanging on their waists."
Qingyue said that she was under the carriage and could indeed see it more clearly. The carriage raised its legs and she took a few more glances.
"The other slaves can't see anything, but..." Qingyue hesitated for a moment and looked at Yu Xijiao hesitantly.
"Any other discoveries?" Yu Xijiao was a little surprised.
"What Eunuch Huaibao said, and this servant actually heard... is not true." Qingyue said, "Eunuch Huaibao laughed so hard that he said that the eldest son of that family... this time seemed to be getting worse.
I suffered a great sin."
As expected, this matter has something to do with Feng Yu, Yu Xijiao thought thoughtfully.
There must be no prince in the entire capital that Feng Yu could like enough to take action, right? I heard that the prince of Prince Qi has been recuperating since he entered the capital and suffered a "serious" injury. Except for the royal family,
, and which prince of the family has seen him? And even made a grudge against him?
"Girl, I just came to the capital after hearing about this prince." Qingyue said.
Just entered the capital? Yu Xijiao suddenly felt something in her heart and smiled: "He must be the crown prince of King Zhongshan. I heard that this crown prince was also assassinated after entering the capital and almost lost his life."
They are both injured and bedridden, or they have the same hobbies and like to watch the fun with their "injury".
"Girl, is it... the Crown Prince of Zhongshan?" Qingyue was shocked and took a deep breath, "No... doesn't it mean that the Crown Prince of Zhongshan is seriously injured now and almost lost his life."
The most talked about thing outside the capital right now is a chaotic marriage and the fact that two princes and princes were assassinated just after they entered the capital.
Qingyue accompanied Yu Xijiao to and from Xiyi Zhai, and she had often heard of such things.
To outsiders, these two things may seem like two completely different things, but in fact they are closely related and echo in every detail. Is this why Feng Yu came over just now to watch the excitement?
Yu Xijiao didn't believe that the perverse and moody Prince Qi really just came to see a fun event that had nothing to do with him. She fluttered her long eyelashes twice, thoughtfully...
"Wha...what, how many more days are we going to be detained?" Ning asked, looking at the grandma in front of her with a pale face, "The interrogation has been completed...can't we release him yet?"
"The Prince of Qi has been greatly wronged, so the Queen Mother and the Emperor naturally have to follow his wishes." Mammy relayed Concubine Ning's words with a stern face, "The Queen Mother said that you don't have to be anxious. Anyway, the assassination of the Prince of Qi is not a matter of course.
It has nothing to do with your family, he will be released eventually."
"But...why are we still locked up if we are not guilty?" Ning said with tears and grievances. The matter of Prince Qi's son was inexplicable. Until now, Ning has not figured out how this matter has anything to do with her family.
"There's nothing wrong with it. The royal bloodline is as great as the sky." Mammy said disdainfully. If it were the former Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she would not have suffered such a great injustice, but in the current Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, even Zhengyuan Hou Mansion
Can the gone Hou Mansion still be called the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?
"My Majesty asked you to wait in peace and contentment. The rumors outside the house are good or bad, so you will be less disturbed if you are locked up inside." After conveying the message patiently, the mama turned around to leave.
A maid reported in a trembling voice outside the door: "Madam, the Queen has sent her chamberlain. Madam, please go to the front hall."
"The Queen sent someone here?" Ning was startled and looked nervously at the grandmother opposite.
Mammy frowned: "Concubine Ning doesn't know about this matter. Since the Queen didn't give the order directly, the matter shouldn't be serious. Madam can do as she pleases. I'll wait here for now."
The Queen has sent someone here, so she is not in a hurry to return to the palace. She still needs to find out more about this matter before she can go back and report it to Concubine Ming Ning.
Mrs. Ning tidied up a little and hurried to the main hall in the front yard.
As soon as I entered, I saw a chamberlain sitting high up, Mrs. Yu Tai and Yu Zhongyang sat at the bottom with smiling faces, and Yu Shuxing and Yu Lanyan stood aside with their heads lowered.
Mrs. Ning came in and saluted hurriedly. The waiter snorted coldly and looked at Mrs. Ning up and down.
"Eunuch, this is my second daughter-in-law." Mrs. Yu said.
"Now that everyone is here, let's pass on the Queen's words to our family." The chamberlain stood up, and the whole family hurriedly knelt down.
"The matter of the sister-in-law marrying on behalf of the marquis of Zhengyuan is really ridiculous. The Lord of Lanxuan County is the county monarch personally consecrated by the current Holy Emperor. How can he be replaced by the daughter of an ordinary official? This matter should be deemed invalid. The Lord of Zhengyuan
The second wife should take good care of Mrs. Yu, behave appropriately, and wait until Prince Zheng returns to discuss the affairs of the two families."
The chamberlain said loudly.
"I accept the order."
"My wife accepts the order." Yu Zhongyang and Mrs. Yu Tai said hurriedly and respectfully, and the others behind them kowtowed together.
After finishing the kowtow, Yu Zhongyang stood up and said to the chamberlain with a smile: "Eunuch... do you think this matter will happen?"
He had already given a large purse just now, and Yu Zhongyang dared to ask such a question now, but his expression was not very good. The meaning of the Queen's decree made him very uneasy.
"This matter is not something that our family can view as they say. The ministers should know that the Empress is responsible for educating the boudoir. Now that something like this has happened... and it has become such a fuss, the family will always have to do something.
Show some attitude." The chamberlain glanced at Yu Zhongyang in a high-pitched voice and said meaningfully.
"Yes... yes, these are all our faults. I didn't expect that Yan'er... would actually cause such a thing. It was because our family didn't know about it... Now she has been expelled from the clan, and she herself has no face to see anyone.
He has already committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake." Yu Zhongyang's eyes turned red at the end.
Even if she is Chu Clan, she is still his daughter, and she must have been raising her for so many years. How can Chu Clan explain her clearly?
Ning, who was supporting Yu Lanxue, began to sob and cry. Yu Lanxue lowered her head and her eyes were red.
"Why are you crying? Is it possible that someone like Yu Lanyan can stay? If she stays, the Queen will also give her a three-foot white silk ribbon. When the time comes, this matter will be unexplainable... and the trouble will become even bigger.
"The chamberlain waved his hand disapprovingly, with a cold look on his face, "Do you think the Queen's will is wrong now?"
This sentence shocked everyone. Yu Zhongyang glared at Ning Shi fiercely. Ning Shi wiped her tears hastily and did not dare to make a sound again.
