www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
By the time King Zhennan and his party returned to the camp, the sky was already bright. Most of the people in the camp had not gotten up yet, but some people were practicing boxing, riding horses or walking outside early in the morning...
"I have met the prince!"
Everyone saluted one after another, and there was no difference between his words and deeds. They seemed to have no doubts about his sudden departure for one night.
The King of Zhennan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, dismissed these people casually, and continued to walk to his tent.
On the way, he saw that everything in the camp was in order, and it seemed to be the same as when he left yesterday evening. King Zhennan finally felt relieved and thought to himself: This concubine is really good, even if he, Ayi and Even though An Yihou was away, the camp was still managed in an orderly manner.
Thinking of the troublesome things that happened to Xiao Fang, King Zhennan had to be thankful that he had already given the palace's middle-age to the Crown Princess.
Otherwise, the good palace may become a mess, and I don’t know how many spies from Baiyue will sneak in.
Hey.
While thinking, King Zhennan entered his camp.
The King of Zhennan washed himself and just took a sip of hot tea when someone came to report that the Crown Princess was here.
The King of Zhennan hurriedly asked Platycodon to invite Nangong Yue in.
"Daughter-in-law, please send greetings to your father." Nangong Yue respectfully stepped forward to salute King Zhennan and said, "Father, everything is well in the camp. I hope that your father can rest assured." Then, she asked for instructions again, "Father, everything is well in the camp. King, I wonder if the spring hunting can continue today?"
After what happened last night, King Zhennan had no intention of continuing the spring hunting. But when he said the words, he remembered Guan Yubai's words. Yes, just like An Yihou said, you must not do it at this time. It makes people suspicious, so it’s better to keep things as they are.
The King of Zhennan said in a deep voice: "Prince Concubine, everything remains as usual, just leave it up to you to make arrangements."
"Yes, father." Nangong Yue blessed her body again, "My daughter-in-law will leave first."
Seeing this, King Zhennan felt a little relieved. The Crown Princess was still sensible, and A Yi had not returned all night, but the Crown Princess was so understanding that she didn't even ask why A Yi didn't come back. The Crown Princess is worthy of being from a famous family, with a good temperament and good education.
While he was sighing, Nangong Yue and the maid respectfully retreated.
After leaving the camp, Baihui was already waiting outside. She knelt down and said, "Prince Concubine, the arrangements have been made by Mingye Lake."
Nangong Yue nodded. It was only half past midnight, and there was still an hour before the agreed time, so he was not in a hurry.
She first ordered people to go to various camps to spread the word: The hunting will continue today. Then he went to find Xiao Fei and Han Qixia, and then went to Mingye Lake with the two girls.
Both Nangong Yue and Han Qixia came to Mingye Lake for the first time, looking at the beautiful scenery ahead.
At this moment, the rising sun has only half risen. The clear green lake is covered with mist, which gives the lake and the green mountains not far behind a hazy beauty. As the rising sun rises, the mist gradually dissipates. Under the soft sunshine, the lake surface sparkled, a spring breeze blew by, and the emerald-green lake surface rippled, rippling in circles...
Seeing that Nangong Yue and Han Qixia were fascinated, Xiao Fei said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Sister Xia, isn't the scenery here beautiful?"
Nangong Yue and Han Qixia were both filled with admiration. As they spoke, the three of them walked towards a table by the lake.
At this moment, more than a dozen long tables have been set up by the lake. Some fruits and pastries are placed on each long table, and there are neat rows of chairs around it.
After Nangong Yue and the others sat down, the maid served them tea, and the three of them talked and enjoyed the scenery.
After a while, the young masters and girls came one after another with their elders. Everyone greeted each other, greeted each other, talked and laughed, and the surrounding gradually became lively, with a lot of chatter, laughter and chatter.
When it was past midnight, the long table by the lake was almost full, with the women on the left and the young men on the right.
Baihui whispered something in Nangong Yue’s ear, which meant that everyone was here.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said loudly: "The weather is nice today, and it is a rare spring hunting. It is very boring to just sit like this. In my opinion, I might as well let all the gentlemen and girls draw lots to form teams. Let’s have some fun with a hunting competition, what do you think?”
Described as gentle and elegant, she shows a bit of sassy and neat temperament in her words and deeds, and she seems to have the feeling of a housewife.
The young masters present had heard about this a long time ago, and they all responded generously, and they were all impatient.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "As for the prize for the winner, I will reward the winner with a sword on behalf of the prince. However, the girls must not be interested in swords and swords, so I will reward the winner with a sword. The noodles are ready."
Many ladies present hurriedly chimed in and the scene was very lively.
A suit of hair and appearance may not mean much, but if it is rewarded by the crown prince, it is very dignified. Even if it is used as a dowry, it will make you look good.
The young masters were even more excited when they heard that they had a good fortune. Most of them were at a passionate age. They had long heard about the reputation of the Crown Prince as being invincible and invincible. If they could get the sword given by the Crown Prince, it would not be in vain for them. Come on this trip!
Following that, Nangong Yue made a gesture, and Baihui stepped forward and loudly announced the rules of the competition: Today's competition is a group of four, two men, two women, and men and women draw lots respectively, with a limit of two hours.
When the ladies heard this, they all secretly exchanged glances, full of admiration. The Crown Princess was indeed thoughtful. Although the folk customs in southern Xinjiang were not as rigid as those in the capital, it was still somewhat inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone. , it is better to work in groups of two men and two women, so that if anything happens, they can take care of each other. Two hours would not tire these girls.
Following that, the two little maids took two lottery tubes, one red and one blue, to draw lots for the girls and the gentlemen respectively.
Many ladies prayed secretly in their hearts that the drawing of lots was a matter of luck. The young masters had two quotas, and they might be drawn to be in the same group as Miss Xiao, and then they would win Miss Xiao's favor during the hunt. ? ...To take a step back, even if you can't draw, you don't necessarily have no chance. If you win the first place in the next competition, you should still have a chance to win the favor of the Crown Princess and Miss Xiao.
The little maid first brought the red lottery tube to Han Qixia, but Han Qixia refused with a smile.
The little maid holding the lotus tube did not force it. After all, although Han Qixia had not officially been engaged yet, everyone here knew that she and Fu Yunhe were about to have a good time.
Xiao Fei frowned and saw that Nangong Yue and Han Qixia were not going. She was about to open her lips when she saw Nangong Yue personally taking the red lottery tube from the maid and passing it to Xiao Fei, saying: "Sister Fei, you Come and smoke one."
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei with a smile. This spring hunt and today's spring banquet were all for Xiao Fei's appearance. If she, the protagonist, did not participate, then Nangong Yue would have wasted his efforts.
Nangong Yue takes action, there is nothing wrong with it!
Seeing Xiao Fei draw the lot, the little maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Miss, you are the 'G' lot."
Geng!
In an instant, the thoughts of everyone present were almost synchronized. Almost everyone was chanting the word "geng" silently in their hearts, staring at the two little maids holding lottery tubes with bright eyes.
The little maid continued to hold the red lottery tube and went elsewhere...
Everyone was drawing lots one after another. Both the girls and the gentlemen were very nervous, their palms were wet with sweat. The gentlemen were looking forward to winning the only two spots and having the opportunity to be Miss Xiao's guardian. Flower Messenger; and the girl's family also wants to team up with Xiao Fei and strive to have a good relationship with Miss Xiao.
In this almost weird atmosphere, the young men and girls finished drawing lots. The result was naturally that some were happy and some were sad. In the end, the person who drew the same lot as Xiao Fei was a girl Gu. General Yu Shen’s family The young master and An Minrui, the second young master of the An family.
These four people became the focus of everyone's attention for a while, and many people secretly sighed that there was really no way to stop this luck.
Mrs. Chang looked at the four people for a while, and then at her daughter Chang Huanwei, and sighed in her heart: Brother Xi is not here, so she can only place her hopes on her daughter. It's a pity that Sister Wei is always unlucky, and good things never happen to her!
Everyone was divided into groups according to the drawn numbers. Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia were divided into one group by Nangong Yue. Although most of the young men and girls present knew each other, they usually only greeted each other and exchanged greetings. Therefore, the differences between each group were The atmosphere was mostly unfamiliar, and occasionally acquaintances were drawn into the same group, so they became relatively more active with each other.
Baihui turned an hourglass over and started timing, then announced the start.
Southern Xinjiang is mostly made up of generals’ disciples. Riding a horse or hunting is nothing.
Everyone got on their horses and entered the mountains and forests one after another. Compared with yesterday's fierce competition, today's competition was obviously much gentler. These young men should also pay attention to their demeanor in front of the girls and not be too impatient.
About tea time, the lakeside was mostly empty, leaving only Han Qixia and a few younger girls chatting with the ladies.
Mrs. Yao withdrew her gaze and joked to Nangong Yue: "Prince Princess, look at these young people. After a night's sleep, they are all in high spirits. Unlike me, I am older and had a hard day's work the day before yesterday. My bones are still sore all over the road."
After Mrs. Yao finished speaking, another lady wearing hibiscus-colored trousers jokingly said: "Mrs. Yao, you are not even forty yet, so you are old. What will we do with old guys?" Ah!"
The lady said hers was an old guy, but in fact it looked like he was only in his early thirties and was well maintained.
Mrs. Yao was obviously very familiar with this lady, and she kept begging for mercy, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Mrs. Yao, I have a potion of potion that can loosen bones and muscles. When I go back today, I will ask the maid to send you a jar."
The Yao family is a royal family member, so Mrs. Yao naturally thanked her with a smile.
A lady in a purple-red gown stared at Mrs. Yao, with a flash of jealousy in her eyes, and suddenly said sourly: "Mrs. Yao, what this concubine has given me is naturally the best thing. My sister is so kind. Blessing."
Mrs. Yao looked directly at the other party without hesitation and said: "Mrs. Li is saying that my Yao family is indeed very lucky, thanks to the love of the prince, the prince and the prince."
Mrs. Li choked for a moment, feeling that all the ladies around her seemed to be laughing at her, so she could only say to Nangong Yue, "Prince Concubine, I seemed to have seen the prince come back just now, but the prince is back." I haven’t come back yet, I don’t know…” I don’t know, but what happened?
Mrs. Li's next words were cut off by Nangong Yue's indifferent look, and she froze there in embarrassment.
After Nangong Yue stroked her sleeves, she said calmly: "Mrs. Li, men take charge outside, women take charge inside. Men have their own business. We women just drink tea and enjoy the scenery."
This sentence is almost a warning. The other ladies around are secretly thinking: This Mrs. Li is really ignorant of current affairs.
Mrs. Tian immediately raised the scented tea in her hand and smoothed over the embarrassing scene by talking about tea, and the atmosphere became harmonious again...
At this moment, King Zhennan in the camp was no longer as relaxed and relaxed as Nangong Yue.
He obviously hadn't slept a wink all night, but he didn't feel tired at all.
He was restlessly walking around the tent, feeling restless.
What happened last night had such a huge impact on him that he never imagined that the two closest people beside him would be like sugar-coated poison.
Especially Xiao Fang, who has been married to her for more than ten years. They have shared the same bed and slept with their necks crossed for countless nights over the years... So after she fell asleep soundly, Xiao Fang secretly What has been done?
Should I still thank her for not killing her for more than ten years?
Wait a minute!
To put it this way, it is indeed a bit strange. Since Xiao Fang has colluded with Baiyue, why has he not taken action against himself in these years? Even if she is grounded now, isn't there still Aunt Mei? Aunt Mei came from Xiao Fang's family!
Is Xiao Fang waiting for an opportunity? !
King Zhennan suddenly stopped in his tracks, and with a flash of inspiration, he knew it must be because of Xiao Yi.
Little Fang is waiting for her to seize Xiao Yi's crown prince position so that Xiao Luan can become the crown prince of Zhennan. Then if something happens to her, Xiao Luan will be the next king of Zhennan. Fang can also be the "Queen Mother" behind the scenes in Southern Xinjiang and monopolize power!
This woman is so scheming!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan was a little frightened.
Soon, he shook his head and said to himself that it was useless to think about the past. The most important thing now was how to resolve this matter... Or, could this matter really be hidden?
This is treason!
As long as a little bit of news leaks out, the Zhennan Palace may be ransacked.
When the time comes, women will be sold into workshops, men will be sent to the army, and they will live a prosperous life, but they will be exiled, and even be reviled by thousands of people!
Moreover, if you are exiled from the army, you will have to suffer the punishment of being tattooed. From now on, the mark of shame will be impossible to wash away in this life, let alone make a comeback. You can only survive under the whipping of those remote soldiers. Even if I go west in the future, I'm afraid it will just be a torn straw mat thrown into a mass grave, with no one to worship after death...
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he thought about it, and the more he became afraid...
I thought that since he succeeded as King of Zhennan, he had been conscientious and cautious in everything, not daring to make any mistakes, and working hard to retain the power of the Zhennan Palace. However, he never expected that the person he had been sleeping with for more than ten years would actually stab him in the back. He stabbed him again and again.
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he hated him. He really wanted to rush to Xiao Fang now and question her face to face. How did he feel sorry for her? When did she start secretly colluding with Baiyue? !
In the final analysis, I am still too soft-hearted and care too much about the relationship between husband and wife. In fact, I should have been cruel last time, or the last time before that, or the last time before that, and ended her life with a glass of poisonous wine. It's not like she's been implicated until now.
"Hey——"
King Zhennan sighed bitterly, and began to pace back and forth irritably...over and over again, and again and again.
During this period, the commander went into the camp several times to report that someone wanted to see him, but he was dismissed by the King of Zhennan angrily.
At this time, how could he have the heart to meet guests?
At about noon, Baihui personally delivered lunch to King Zhennan, saying that it was sent on the order of the Crown Princess.
When the fragrant four dishes and one soup were placed on the table, the King of Zhennan felt a little sad for a moment. This daughter-in-law couldn't be more virtuous, careful, or filial. It's a pity that a noble girl from a noble family only married into the prince's palace. In the next year, he will suffer disaster together with the palace.
Thinking about it, King Zhennan lost his appetite and couldn't help but sigh.
After Baihui retreated, Changsui cautiously advised him: "Your Majesty, you'd better use a little more."
King Zhennan sighed again, but still picked up the chopsticks, but he was a little confused about what he was eating.
Before he finished his lunch, Platycodon grandiflorum came in and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Qiao is here..."
"No." King Zhennan waved his hand impatiently.
Before Platycodon was ordered to leave, Mrs. Qiao had already opened the tent door and came in. She was still shouting, "Brother, look at your 'good' daughter-in-law. She is having a spring party at Mingye Lake. She didn’t come to invite me and Sister Lan to the banquet. Doesn’t she even take me as an aunt in her eyes?” After all, she is also the aunt of the Zhennan Palace. For today’s spring banquet, Nangong Yue only sent a little maid here. After informing him, he didn’t know how to advance or retreat!
The sharp voice of Mrs. Qiao gave King Zhennan a headache. He used to obey this eldest sister, but now he is so disgusted with it, especially since he is still worried about the fate of the palace and doesn't bother to listen. She's long-winded...wait!
The King of Zhennan suddenly remembered that the Mei family was brought to the palace by his eldest sister as a gift to the young Fang family. Could it be said that even the eldest sister was bribed by Baiyue? !
The King of Zhennan stared. He really wanted to question him, but when he thought of Guan Yubai's instructions, he still gritted his teeth desperately and held back. He squeezed out a voice from between his teeth and said: "Come here, Please go out, Mrs. Qiao."
Mrs. Qiao thought he was defending Nangong Yue, so she blurted out unhappily, "Brother, your wife is really not a good one. One or both of you were fooled by him!"
"Bikyo! Are you deaf?!"
King Zhennan raised his voice, and Platycodon grandis, who was waiting on the side, was startled, and hurried over, making a "please" gesture.
Mrs. Qiao's face turned even more ugly. She waved away Platycodon grandiflorum and said angrily: "When my father was away at war, I worked so hard to raise you, and you actually treat me like this! Your Majesty, you are so high and mighty now. , you don’t want to recognize me as your sister anymore? That’s right, how can I reach such a high level?” As she said that, she snorted hard and walked away.
If it were normal, King Zhennan would have lowered his head and admitted his mistake, but now, with a gloomy face, he watched Mrs. Qiao rush out of the tent and had only one thought in his mind: Does the eldest sister have anything to do with this matter? !
"Your Majesty..."
There was another voice coming from outside the tent. King Zhennan thought it was Mrs. Qiao who had left and returned. Just as he was about to chase people away, he heard the report: "The Crown Prince and Marquis An Yi are asking to see you!"
The King of Zhennan was startled. He subconsciously wanted to get up, then sat back down. After repeating it for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Let them come in."
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai walked in from outside the tent.
Before the two of them could greet each other, King Zhennan hurriedly asked Platycodon to step aside, and he couldn’t wait to greet him, saying, "Master Marquis is exempting himself from the ceremony. I wonder, what can I find out?"
Guan Yubai nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Li's shop is indeed a stronghold of Baiyue. According to investigations, they have been lurking in Luoyue City for seven years..."
In fact, Li's shop had been secretly sealed as early as yesterday. Carrero was not comparable to those specially trained spies. After only one day and one night of torture, a lot of things were dug out of his mouth. Today, Guan Yubai did not mention Carrero, but selectively said: "Baiyue spies claimed that the third room of the Fang family had been bought by Baiyue before Xiao Fang left the cabinet. Aunt Mei was Baiyue The one who was installed in the palace through Xiao Fang was to sow discord between the prince and your son, and to undermine the overall situation of southern Xinjiang from the inside, so that Baiyue could take advantage of it and make a comeback."
As Guan Yubai spoke eloquently, King Zhennan felt his chest was tight and his heart was twitching.
There was a rumbling sound in his ears, and he didn't even hear clearly what Guan Yubai was going to say next. He only knew one thing: It's over! It's over now!
Even if a piece of white silk becomes the little Fang family immediately, she will still be the wife of the Zhennan Prince in terms of title, and she will be the legitimate wife of the Zhennan Prince! Once this matter is known to the emperor, everyone in the Zhennan Palace will be implicated by her and charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason!
"Master Hou..." King Zhennan looked like he was about to cry, "This matter... ugh. I hope Master Hou will be more open-minded." Don't read his book!
"Your Majesty." Guan Yubai's voice was as gentle as a sunny day after the rain, "I naturally believe that Your Majesty has nothing to do with this matter, but people's words are scary... Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, do you know the gecko? Tail docking?"
The King of Zhennan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
He saw a glimmer of life!
