Seeing this, Sang Lian's face suddenly darkened, and she realized something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at Chu Xunzhi.
The other party's eyes were extremely cold, and he could scratch her alive at any time, so viciously that she couldn't help but feel chills running down her back.
"Prince Xuan...this maid is disrespectful to my mother. Shouldn't she be punished?"
Zhao Qianru saw that her strength was no match for Hong Qiao, so in order to avoid causing an ugly scene, she let go of her hand, straightened her clothes, and pointed at Hong Qiao: "Xuanzhi, I am your biological aunt, don't you
Do you just allow the people around Princess Xuan to bully me like this?"
Both of them set their eyes on Chu Xuanzhi.
Hong Qiao felt a little uneasy and was about to kneel down to admit her mistake. She could not cause trouble to her master.
But a hand held her arm, Jiang Yunxu protected her behind him, and raised his chin: "Everyone present saw it. It was obviously Hong Qiao who was protecting the Lord wholeheartedly. Aunt Zhao and her grandmother were guilty and tried to attack me.
Princess, what’s wrong with Hongqiao?”
In the end, everyone looked at Chu Xuanzhi.
Chu Xuanzhi opened his thin lips and said in a cold voice: "Come here, I'll reward you with a thousand taels of gold for Hongqiao's loyal protector!"
After saying this, Sang Lian and Zhao Qianru's expressions were as dark as ink, especially Zhao Qianru, who stepped forward with a wronged look: "Xuanzhi, how could you do this to me, why would you rather protect a maid?"
Chu Xuazhi had lost his patience: "This is Prince Xuan's Mansion. If Grandma Zhao Sangu doesn't like it, she can leave."
"You!" Zhao Qianru was so angry that she was speechless and choked.
We haven't seen each other for only a few years, but the other person is so heartless?
When Sang Lian heard that the tone was wrong, she immediately pulled Zhao Qianru and covered her heart: "Mother, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Please accompany me back."
As soon as she got off the steps, Zhao Qianru left immediately.
His ears were completely silent, and Yin Feng also took out a hundred taels of gold and handed it to Hong Qiao. Hong Qiao was flattered and hurriedly declined.
"This is a reward from the prince, just accept it." Yin Feng forced it to the other party.
"My slave, thank you for your reward."
Hongqiao kowtows to express gratitude.
Chu Xuanzhi gave a faint hum and glanced at Jiang Yunxu worriedly. Seeing that her face turned pale, he said, "About your mother, I can send someone to find out the news."
Jiang Yunxu bit her lip. She no longer knew which thing was true and which was false.
Especially about the Feng family.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I won't trouble Your Majesty for this matter."
She will find out for herself.
It had been a while since she had visited Feng. Jiang Yunxu anxiously took Hongqiao out of the house.
There were mixed emotions along the way.
I came to a small courtyard with an elegant environment, opened the door and walked in. There was a kind of tranquility inside.
There are dozens of fat koi swimming under the water under the small bridge. A grape trellis has been built in the corner, and it has begun to bear fruit. The bunches of green grapes look full of life.
And there was a woman standing under the grape trellis, pruning the excess branches and leaves like her mother-in-law.
Since leaving the Jiang family, Feng's mood has become more and more stable. In addition, she has been specially taken care of when eating and drinking, and her face has become plump. It is not difficult to see that Feng's appearance is a very beautiful woman.
Her black hair was pulled up into a simple sideburn without too many jewelry embellishments. There was a mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist. However, there were some scars on her wrist that were exposed when she raised her hand, crisscrossing them, making it look a bit abrupt.
.
"mother."
She shouted softly and held up the snack in her hand: "I'm here to deliver food."
Mrs. Feng turned around and recognized Jiang Yunxu at a glance. She immediately put down the scissors in her hands and walked towards this side. She smiled softly and shouted, "Jiaojiao is here."
Jiaojiao, her nickname.
Jiang Yunxu still remembered that the first time he met Feng, she had been beaten unconscious, but she still had a bunch of boiled candied haws in her arms.
This scene will always be remembered in my mind.
"Mom, I haven't seen you for a few days and your complexion is getting better and better." Jiang Yunxu suppressed all the bad emotions, smiled and held Feng's arm, chatting with her: "I'll wait for a while and my daughter will make arrangements.
Now, let’s take my mother out for a walk and relax.”
Jiang Yunxu reached out and felt Feng's pulse. The condition was better than he imagined. The pulse was calm and the person was much healthier.
As long as she is nursed back to health and no stimulation is given, it is possible for Feng to return to normal.
Mrs. Feng nodded obediently, took out the snack from the food box, divided it into two halves, gave half of it and handed it to Jiang Yunxu.
"Try it, Jiaojiao."
"Yes." Jiang Yunxu reached out to take it, ate the snack, and put her head on Feng's shoulder. She felt that it was the happiest thing in the world to have her mother's love.
Mrs. Feng suddenly stood up, held up her skirt and ran into the house. After a while, she came out again, holding two pairs of shoes in her hand.
One for men and one for women.
The men's model is embroidered with green bamboo leaves. The embroidery skills are so good that the bamboo leaves seem to be three-dimensional.
The women's model is embroidered with a peony flower, slowly blooming, and decorated with some small accessories.
"This is?" Jiang Yunxu was surprised.
"Girl, my wife embroidered this by herself. She has been waiting for the opportunity to give it to you." Mammy explained.
Feng Niang nodded shyly.
Jiang Yunxu took the two pairs of shoes and felt a little unhappy. That bastard Mr. Jiang was not good enough for Feng Niang, but she always had Mr. Jiang in her heart.
well.
"This pair is for the prince. Thank you very much for taking care of you and placing me here to recuperate. I hope the prince will not dislike it," Feng Niang explained.
Jiang Yunxu was stunned: "Which prince is it for?"
"It's the one in the wheelchair. When the girl was away a while ago, he arranged for someone to take care of the wife. The wife likes him very much," said the nanny.
Mrs. Feng nodded: "You must be good and trust each other to go far."
Jiang Yunxu smiled and said, "Okay."
It was almost dark when she left the small courtyard. She went back with her shoes. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to give them to Chu Xuanzhi. After all, it was Feng's heart.
She also wanted to personally thank him for his contribution to Fengshi.
"Girl, isn't that Zhao Qianru?" Hong Qiao simply omitted the honorific and pointed to a figure under the long corridor in the distance. Isn't that Zhao Qianru?
Zhao Qianru was sitting alone on a chair, looking into the distance, wondering what was going on in her mind.
Jiang Yunxu quickly came up with an idea and whispered a few instructions to Hong Qiao.
There is still a lot of the psychedelic drug she gave Princess Zhaohe last time, which can be used on Zhao Qianru.
"Don't worry, Princess, I'll go right away."
Master and servant parted ways.
Jiang Yunxu went to see Chu Xuanzhi, explained the purpose of his visit, and handed a pair of shoes to him: "My mother embroidered them with her own hands. I want to thank you for taking care of them during this time, and please don't dislike them."
Chu Xuanzhi reached out and took it with a smile on his face: "I am worried about not having suitable shoes. This pair looks good."
He stretched out his hand and gestured: "The size is just right."
"Really?" Jiang Yunxu felt relieved.
Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Chu Xuangzhi immediately changed it and even took two steps in front of Jiang Yunxu. It was indeed his size.
Chu Xuanzhi was a little flattered to be praised by Feng, and explained: "Logically, Feng is also my elder, and it is natural for me to take care of my elders. You don't have to be polite."
There was still something going on in her mind, so Jiang Yunxu left after chatting for a few words.
As night fell, several people were sneaking around on the eaves of Prince Xuan's Mansion. Jiang Yunxu lay on the eaves and lifted up the bricks.
"Princess, I have been smoking for more than an hour. Judging from the amount, it should be almost done."
Jiang Yunxu nodded.
So Hongqiao got rid of the two maids who were an eyesore, watched outside, and let Jiang Yunxu enter the house.
Zhao Qianru, who was lying on the bed, had fallen into a hypnotic state. She sat on the edge of the bed and started telling stories.
After Mo Yue burned a stick of incense, Jiang Yunxu began to ask: "Is there any grudge between the Feng family of the Western Regions and you?"
Zhao Qianru closed her eyes and cursed without hesitation: "That vixen scolds everyone who sees her. I'm just using her."
The reason why Zhao Qianru was able to say these words was because in the dream, what emerged were real things that had happened in the past, and they were also Zhao Qianru's true thoughts.
"Humph, she is just the most unpopular princess in the Western Region. She is charming and charming. The person she wants to marry is the current emperor, but she is attracted by Prince Qing. There are countless people who want to marry me. Even my fiancé is attracted by you.
I'm confused, bitch, I'm going to make you miserable."
Jiang Yunxu frowned, pinched his palm tightly with his fingertips, and said in a trembling voice, "How did you plot against the Feng family?"
"At the Queen's birthday party, I deliberately got Feng Shi drunk, and together with He, I framed Feng Shi and a guard for living alone, but it happened to be discovered by Mr. Jiang Er, so I had no choice but to make Feng Shi and Jiang Er happy.
Master, the emperor was furious when he found out. Although he granted the marriage, there must be a thorn in his heart. The He family and the old lady of the Jiang family joined forces to drive the Feng family crazy..."
At this moment, Jiang Yunxu had murderous intentions and wanted to strangle Zhao Qianru to death.
"This bitch deserves to die! And all of Feng's daughters are little bitches, especially Jiang Yunxu. How dare you question my daughter? Bah, who are you?"
Zhao Qianru's mood suddenly became very excited, and she was still yelling in her sleep.
Jiang Yunxu faintly sensed something was wrong: "Whose daughter is Sang Lian?"
"My daughter is not someone whose father is unknown. Her biological father is the prince of the Western Regions!"
Zhao Qianru said with a proud smile on her lips: "When Feng was imprisoned, he went to great lengths to send me a letter asking for rescue. It was I who informed Mrs. Jiang that Feng was about to escape, and took the letter to the Western Regions.
The prince saw that I was a good friend of the Feng family, so he accepted me, but unfortunately... the prince of the Western Region became a cripple, so I escaped back."
Jiang Yunxu was now trembling with anger: "Feng Shi really wanted to run away back then?"
"Of course, Mrs. Feng was beaten and scolded at home every day, and she lived a life of neither human nor ghost. When Mrs. Feng gave birth to the grandson of Jiang's family, she annoyed Mr. He, so she spread rumors that the child was not Mr. Jiang's at all.
, so after the child was born, Mr. He threw the child to death in front of Ms. Feng, without even having time to cry."
Zhao Qianru continued: "Ms. Feng went crazy at that time. She was imprisoned in the house and beaten severely. Everyone thought that she was filial and just gave the Western Region a face. The second master of the Jiang family was not a good person. His methods
It’s poisonous.”
Hearing this, tears filled the corners of Jiang Yunxu's eyes and she closed her eyes tightly. What kind of life has Feng lived in Prime Minister Jiang's mansion for so many years?
All of his property was taken away from him, he was beaten severely, and he even witnessed the death of his child.
Who wouldn't be crazy in this kind of life?
Jiang Yunxu only hated herself for being too soft-hearted towards Mr. He and letting her drown like that.
Such a devil should be cut to pieces!
Her emotions couldn't calm down for a long time, and she couldn't imagine how much hope Feng had in giving all her trust to Zhao Qianru.
But how did the other party push Feng into hell step by step?
Jiang Yunxu's hand strangled Zhao Qianru's neck. As long as she exerted slight force, she would die.
Suddenly, Jiang Yunxu let go of his hand.
It's too cheap to die like this.
She wanted Zhao Qianru to taste the pain added to Feng's body bit by bit!
She left and returned to her yard, her face wet with tears, and she was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, Hongqiao didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to fetch a basin of water, pour a cup of tea, and wait silently.
I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Yunxu made a decision: "I plan to go back to Beijing."
"Princess?" Hong Qiao was surprised: "You finally left the capital, how can you go back casually? If you are detained, you will be in trouble."
Jiang Yunxu smiled. She was not going back in the name of Jiang Yunxu, but in the name of Zhao Yi, who could leave at any time.
Hongqiao immediately said: "Since the princess has decided, I will accompany you."
"Um."
Early next morning
Zhao Qianru felt groggy when she woke up. She just thought she was tired and didn't think much about it.
After washing up, I went to have breakfast with Sang Lian. I saw my daughter looking distracted, so I asked, "What's wrong?"
"The prince will leave Haozhou in two days."
Zhao Qianru pulled Sang Lian and said, "You are now Imperial Concubine Yu. What good is his disability? Forget about it. If others find out, it will be detrimental to you."
Sang Lian knew this in her heart, and she had even thought about it. As long as Chu Xuanzhi fell in love with her again, she was willing to give up her status as a noble concubine, change her name and stay with him.
"Your Majesty, Madam." The maid came in and saluted the two of them: "Princess Xuan is selecting people in the palace to accompany Prince Xuan to Xiangya, and all of them are beautiful women."
One sentence directly made Sang Lian lose all her appetite. She couldn't get angry: "Does this idiot think that this can stabilize King Xuan?"
Chu Xuanzhi needs someone to accompany him now. In a few years, he will meet a miracle doctor who will heal his leg, win battles everywhere, and everything will go well in the future.
If there are a few more women around now, who can guarantee that none of them will enter Chu Xuanzhi's heart?
Sang Lian couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and went to Jiang Yunxu to ask for an explanation.
