Chapter 388: Is she an adopted daughter?
Qin Ming accepted the order with his hands raised, and raised his hand to greet everyone to go back together.
Seeing that Beixiu Banquet was about to leave, Shen Ruzhou suddenly became anxious and ran over in a hurry. She wanted to tell Beixiu Banquet that the envoy was at the nunnery, but because Xiao Chenyan was always following her, she had to find an excuse, "Prince Regent, today is the time to leave." After acupuncture has been used to cure the disease, please move to the nunnery."
Beixiu Yan suppressed his anger and looked at Shen Ruzhou and refused directly, "I am in good health recently, so there is no need for acupuncture."
After saying that, he got on his horse and left.
Shen Ruzhou stared blankly at his leaving figure, feeling as if a piece of his heart had been cut out, leaving it empty.
As they left, the village returned to calm, and the sunset dyed the sky red in the west.
Shen Ruzhou stood alone, with a thin back.
Seeing that she had been looking at the direction Beixiu Yan was leaving, Xiao Chenyan's eyes flashed fiercely, and his words were full of ridicule, "Shen Ruzhou, I advise you not to have any wishful thinking. Beixiu Yan will not fall in love with a concubine. , all your efforts to please me are just in vain."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou turned around, glared at him fiercely, then picked up the bucket and walked to the nunnery.
She was already weak, and her right arm was injured, so she had to carry water with her left hand, which seemed very difficult.
Jun Wu wanted to step forward to help, but Shen Ruzhou immediately shot out a sharp eye knife, "No, I tell you, mistress, that I am the concubine of the house. You don't need to remind me again and again. But even so, I will not treat a person like this." What nostalgia does a man have for doting on his concubines and destroying his wives? Tell him not to waste his efforts."
With the same words, Shen Ruzhou fought back like a painted ladle.
Jun Wu looked at Xiao Chenyan in embarrassment and saw that his own prince was also very angry. He flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Xiao Chenyan did not return to the palace, but went directly to the eldest princess's residence.As soon as he entered the main hall, he dismissed all the servants and asked straight to the point: "Jianing, was it you who did what happened to the envoy?"
Jianing's eyes flickered and her heart pounded, but she said stiffly: "What envoy? I don't know."
The daughter-in-law Mo Ruomu and the eldest princess sitting in the seat had already seen the clues and shouted sternly with some hatred: "Jianing, tell the truth, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Jianing still denied it, raising his neck and quibbling, "I already told you I don't know, why do you insist on unjustly accusing me."
"I hope I have wronged you. It's best that this matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise, I'll watch your skin carefully." The eldest princess cursed bitterly.
Seeing that Jianing still didn't take it seriously and didn't understand the seriousness of it, Xiao Chenyan had no choice but to speak again: "The safety of the envoy is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous. This morning, my father has given an order to catch the real culprit. If you don't want to die, you should tell the truth earlier."
Hearing this, Jianing shrank in fear, lowered his head and said: "I just don't want to get married, why should my marriage be so manipulated by others, so I spent money to hire a murderer to intercept and kill the envoy. "
Her voice was very small, but in the ears of the eldest princess, it was no less than thunder.
"You, you idiot." The eldest princess never thought that her daughter would be stupid enough to do this, so she raised her hand and slapped Jianing in the face. Jianing covered her face and sobbed.
The eldest princess was so angry that she swayed and almost fell down. Xiao Ruohan quickly stepped forward to help her.
The eldest princess pointed at Jianing's nose and said coldly: "Go to Dali Temple and confess your guilt yourself. I won't care if you kill or cut into pieces. I just pretend that I never gave birth to a daughter like you."
The eldest princess was so heartbroken that Jianing was so frightened that she had to kneel down and beg for mercy, "Mother, you can't ignore your daughter. Your daughter knows she is wrong. Please ask her mother to save her son." Jianing begged the eldest princess. , then turned to Xiao Chenyan next to him, pulled his sleeve and begged, "Uncle, don't you always love me the most? Please help me think of a way, I don't want to be beheaded."
"It's too late now that I know I'm afraid." The eldest princess was so angry that she slapped the handle of the chair, her chest heaved violently, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Although Xiao Ruohan couldn't stand what the eldest princess did on weekdays, he still showed kindness to her in raising her, so he couldn't help but comfort her: "Foster mother, take good care of yourself. After all, Jianing hasn't been found yet, there will always be a way." Changed."
After being reminded by her, the eldest princess realized that now was not the time to be angry. She looked at Xiao Chenyan, her eyes full of help, "Chen Yan, who is investigating now? Is there any way to cover up the past?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at Jianing, who was in tears, and sighed, "It would be easier for others to tell, but the case is currently being investigated by Beixiu Yan. With his ability, it is not difficult to find Jianing."
When she heard that it was the Beixiu Banquet, the eldest princess looked desperate, "The regent is famous for being cold-faced and selfless. Now Jianing really has no way out."
She covered her face and cried, her voice was pitiful, Xiao Ruohan couldn't bear it, stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Chenyan in a formal manner, "Jianing was young and acted recklessly, so he asked King Wu Cheng for help. The whole princess's house is grateful."
"I have a way, maybe I can give it a try." As soon as Xiao Chenyan's words came out, the eldest princess grabbed his hand and asked eagerly: "What way? As long as I can save Jianing, I will do it." agree."
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruohan, and talked about meeting Beixiu Yan in the restaurant that day.
The eldest princess immediately understood, "You mean the regent has taken a liking to Ruohan?"
Xiao Chenyan nodded and said his proposal, "The eldest princess will send Ruohan, and the Beixiu Banquet may be lenient."
"Okay, without further ado, I will take Ruohan to find the regent." The eldest princess made up her mind and ordered her servants to prepare the car.
Xiao Ruohan looked on coldly and didn't say a word.Although he knew that he was a chess piece and would be used as a favor by the eldest princess sooner or later, but he could not help but feel sad if he planned it directly in front of him.
Here, the eldest princess did not care about her feelings at all. She pulled her to the dressing table and wanted to dress her up, for fear that Beixiu Yan would not look down on her.
Xiao Ruohan sat down obediently, looked at the adoptive mother who gave him a hairpin in the mirror, and said his final farewell in his heart: You raised me for a while, and once today's incident is over, you will be settled, and there will be no more debts.
