Chapter 351 Marquis of Chongyang, what do you mean
"Second Miss."
Outside the door, there was Qin Wu's voice.
Qin Wu was always outside the house. He would only enter the house when Luo Jiuli saw him, or when Xiao Mingxuan wanted to deliver a message or something.
Luo Jiuli gave Nan Xing a wink.
Nan Xing nodded, opened the door and walked out.
After a while, Qin Wu lowered his head and stood respectfully outside the door curtain.
"The master sent someone to send a message, saying that there were too many things to do tonight, so he couldn't come to see the second lady at home, and asked the second lady to go to bed early."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he understood that something might really have happened at Dali Temple.
And Xiao Mingxuan specially sent someone to deliver the message because he was afraid that she would worry.
"Well, I understand."
"Then, I will resign."
Qin Wu bowed, turned around and retreated.
After Qin Wu left, Nan Zhu stepped forward.
"Master, why don't you go to Dali Temple and find out what happened?"
"No need."
Luo Jiuli stood up, walked to the mirror, and took off the hair accessories from his hair.
"The prince did not ask the messenger to tell Qin what happened at Wudali Temple. It must be a big deal. Either the emperor or the prince deliberately concealed it."
"Let's just wait with peace of mind. There is no need to bother the prince by going out to inquire."
Nan Zhu touched his nose.
"yes."
The master always thinks about the prince.
The prince was also devoted to his master.
These two people are devoted to each other, which makes others envious.
Luo Jiuli didn't know what Nan Zhu was thinking. At this time, she was taking off her hair accessories calmly, but she had already gone through the whole thing from beginning to end in her heart.
The Queen Mother went to the Tianlao of Dali Temple to see Hu Jue during the day, and then Hu Jue proposed to meet the emperor.
And she was also in the palace, witnessing with her own eyes the Queen Mother and the Emperor's harsh words and insinuations at the beginning because of the Sima Mansion matter, to the Queen Mother's compromise that seemed to have to be tolerated in the end.
What forced the Queen Mother to endure it? And how many trump cards did the Queen Mother have in her hand?
She would never naively think that the Queen Mother and Da Sima had been planning for half their lives and only had this little energy.
There are also Concubine Hu who is in the palace, King Zhao who has never made any statement on this matter, and those in the Sima Mansion.
Everyone is surprisingly calm, but the calmer they are, the more terrifying it is. Under this calm appearance, is there only one undercurrent or a few undercurrents.
"Master, master."
On the side, Nan Zhu called "Master" several times, but Luo Jiuli didn't respond. As a last resort, Nan Zhu had to reach out and pat him.
"Ah! Nanzhu, you called me."
Luo Jiuli came back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about, Master? Are you so absorbed in your thoughts? Are you worried about the prince?"
Luo Jiuli smiled, stood up and walked to the bed.
"Yes! I'm about to go to bed, but the prince has to be busy all night. I'm not only worried but also distressed."
Nan Zhu: What is she talking about? The master has only one thought for the prince.
It's a pity that the prince can't hear it now.
If the prince heard it, he might be very happy.
"Creak" There was a cold wind blowing outside the window, and the snow particles accompanied by the cold wind blew open a gap in the window.
Nan Xing hurried over, closed the window, and blocked it with heavy objects.
Also closing the window at the same time was Hu Hongzhi who was in Sima Mansion.
Ever since he rebuked Xiao Mingxuan in the yard not long ago, he has been uneasy.
He did not go to the rooms of the wife in the main courtyard and the concubine in the side courtyard, but went into the study.
He didn't ask anyone to accompany him or light a candle. He just sat on the chair like a sculpture in the dark. He stayed there for an hour.
"If I were you, I might as well go back to the house as soon as possible and hug my lovely wife and concubine more."
A cool and frivolous voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"who?"
Hu Hongzhi suddenly turned around, his palms already turned into claws, making a defensive posture.
"Master Hu, why do you need to be so arrogant?"
A man was wearing night clothes, and at some point, he was standing in the shadow behind him.
The man was tall and straight, and his tight-fitting clothes lined his slender and smooth lines. At this time, he was holding a small and exquisite dagger in his hand, and the sharp tip of the dagger emitted a gleaming white light in the darkness.
The man walked to the window, picked up the fire stick on the table, and pulled it out gently. Flames appeared from the fire stick. As he moved, the wax core of the butter wax was slowly lit.
The candlelight flickered brightly, and the man's face gradually became clear.
"The Marquis of Chongyang."
Hu Hongzhi looked at that face, his eyes opened again and again, and he stood up suddenly.
That's right, the person who came was none other than Marquis Chongyang, Cheng Zongyang.
"But Master Hu is not used to being imprisoned for a day and a night?"
Marquis Chongyang put down the fire seal and smiled lightly.
"You...you, how did you get in? There are guards outside the house."
For a day and a night, the people in this mansion were silent. Everyone who saw him either had a mournful look on his face, or lowered his head and wept silently. The Sima Mansion in the past was now comparable to hell in his heart.
At this time, due to the arrival of Marquis Chongyang, he could not describe his shock in words, and his mouth was open and he could not say a complete sentence.
"But did the Queen Mother ask you to come? Or did the Imperial Concubine ask you to come?"
"neither."
Marquis Chongyang looked back and smiled, his eyes emitting a strange light that was indescribable.
Hu Hongzhi was shocked at first, then took two steps back and bumped into the bookshelf behind him.
"Marquis Chongyang, what do you mean?"
Not the Queen Mother, nor the Imperial Concubine, so why did he come on this trip?
Hu Hongzhi had doubts and denied doubts over and over again in his heart.
Marquis Chongyang took a step forward.
"Master Hu was really bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. The Queen Mother is now eating vegetarian food in the palace, fasting, bathing, burning incense, and copying scriptures."
"As for the imperial concubine, she has been confined in the Jade Palace by the Queen since Master Sima and Master Hu were arrested."
"Don't ask her to save you. Even she can't save herself."
"What? What did you say? When has this happened? The Queen Mother is still in the mood to copy scriptures, and the imperial concubine is banned by the Queen? Our Sima Mansion has not fallen yet? When did it become the turn of the Liang family to point fingers?"
Chongyang Hou curled his lips and smiled, ignoring the true meaning of the Queen Mother's copying of the scriptures.
"My lord, I think the queen has banned the imperial concubine. Ha! How could the queen have the courage without the emperor nodding his approval?"
Hu Hongzhi clung tightly to the edge of the bookshelf, his eyes gradually becoming hollow from clear to bright.
"Could it be that this time, the Great Sima Mansion is really doomed?"
He murmured to himself, and after a moment, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chongyang Hou's hand.
"Marquis Chongyang, I know you can come, and there must be a way. Please save me! Save the Sima Mansion?"
When Marquis Chongyang saw him holding his hand, a smile spread across his face.
"Master Hu, I am just a marquis in name only. How do you ask me to save you?"
