Chapter 385 Poor Aunt Ping (Second update)

“What’s wrong with me that makes you so disgusted? I just want to marry you…”

Wu Chen gave in impatiently He waved his hand and said:

"You are stubborn and very strong. I was really worried about whether you would survive in Chen Zhong's hands before. If you are willing to bow your head, you will not live a good life, but you have been living a good life, so I can rest assured that you will live in the palace, but I forgot that you are a high-spirited person. Whatever you want to do, your parents and brothers will use whips. Even if I can’t make you give in, how can you change your mind easily?”

“I...”

"You have two options now. One is I will give you money. If you return to Anping County, your parents and brothers are gone. It's my fault that I didn't tell you in time, but you are familiar with the place. I will order someone to tell the county Say hello to the people in the Yamen, you can choose your husband by yourself, and you will not be bullied. Secondly, I will immediately find a home with ordinary people. I only want to have good character. I will pay for the dowry, and you can marry and live peacefully. ”

Chen Nanzhu stood up suddenly and shouted at Wu Chen: "I will not marry anyone but you!"

Wu Chen frowned and said, "Your parents and brothers are dead. I didn’t dare to tell you at first, they were indeed bastards, but blood is thicker than water. I remember you said at that time, just a few hungry meals would be enough, and you never thought about killing them.”

Chen Nanzhu. Stunned.

"Second brother has followed me all the way and has a deep love for me as a brother. I have also spent time with you day and night, but you...have you ever eaten the pastries from the Queen Mother's Palace?"

Wu Chen suddenly thought of something, and the fierceness in his eyes made Chen Nanzhu nod subconsciously.

"Did the pastries brought today also come from the Queen Mother?"

Chen Nanzhu nodded in horror as if he had realized something.

Wu Chen’s mind flashed across that weird old woman and the resentful spirits she kept in the palace.

“Stretch your hand over here!” Wu Chen shouted.

Chen Nanzhu stretched out his arm. Wu Chen suppressed the panic in his heart and stood up, trying to find a pulse on Chen Nanzhu's wrist, but he couldn't find it after trying again and again.

Wu Chen fell down on the chair again.

Chen Nanzhu didn't understand why and asked: "What's wrong? Am I sick?"

"Follow me into the palace!"

......

Li Heng had just left the court, and the ministers were quarreling again this morning. In the past, he would rebuke a few words when the quarrel was getting louder. Today, he absent-mindedly watched the ministers spitting and talking, everyone talking about their own things. reason.

Li Heng wants to implement the New Land Deal and also wants to rectify the administration of officials. Once these two points are discussed in the court meeting, there will be a huge quarrel and nothing can be decided in the end. However, Li Heng likes to throw out the ideas every now and then. Seeing the ministers quarreling about these two issues, in fact, he had already felt With the charter, because these two things will harm the interests of those wealthy families, if Li Heng wants to take action suddenly, there will inevitably be resistance, so he will let the wind out first and talk about it in the court again and again. Constant persistence is the attitude, and step-by-step is the time for those people to prepare mentally.

After several trials, it became clear who could win and who needed to be eliminated, and then he slowly took action.

But today, Li Heng sat in a trance while sitting on the dragon chair. He didn’t know if he could see this scene again in the future. He tried his best to rush forward, but there was always something behind him. Someone is watching covetously, as if he might take his place unprepared at any time.

Others cannot make Li Heng timid, but the former prince is no one else. He has been looking up to him since he was a child. In Liu Zhai's case, is it the ghost of the former prince who is causing trouble, or is it the original prince? Not dead?

......

Going down to court in a daze, Li Heng had no intention of reading the memorial, let alone meeting with the ministers he had found privately. He sat quietly in front of the desk in Wende Hall, with all the thoughts in his mind In the picture of the former prince, he remembered that the late emperor once said that the great talent of the prince is a blessing to the country.

After the late prince fell ill, the late emperor visited him several times a day. Li Heng also wanted to visit but was stopped by the guards. He remembered that only his father could see the prince at that time.

Li Heng was lost in thought when Liu Jinzhong limped up to him, bowed his head and said, "Wu Chen took Chen Nanzhu to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace."

Li Heng frowned, stood up and left the Wende Hall.

...

Cining Palace was originally not that easy to enter, but Wu Chen couldn't be stopped.

Wu Chen vigorously pushed open the door of the main hall, and the door shook and fell to the ground.

The Queen Mother was startled by the loud noise and strode out from the room.

The Queen Mother today is completely different from the one we saw that night. Although she is wearing ordinary clothes and not palace clothes, her hair is neatly combed and she looks more energetic. She can barely be called charming. Come to think of it, She must have been a beauty when she was young, and it is difficult to mistake her for the same person as the strange old woman she saw that night.

But Wu Chen couldn't help but frown when he saw it. He had met the Queen Mother once, and she should have felt familiar. The lights were dim that night, and the Queen Mother was very strange. She didn't look too carefully. She shouldn't have looked so familiar when we met again today, but Wu Chen felt a very familiar feeling.

Chen Nanzhu followed Wu Chen, and when he saw the Queen Mother coming out, he wanted to salute, but Wu Chen asked sharply: "What did you give her to eat?"

The Queen Mother's original surprised expression changed. After Wu Chen asked this question, he smiled strangely.

Wu Chen felt goosebumps when he saw her, but he was also sure that this woman was the Queen Mother he met that night.

"I love her and have given her a lot of food. Are you asking about the ones that crawl on the ground or fly in the sky?"

Without saying a word, Wu Chen stepped forward and grabbed the Queen Mother's neck. There were gasps all around, and a nun shouted loudly: "Someone is causing trouble! Someone, come quickly..."

The sound of archers preparing soon came from the courtyard.

But Wu Chen didn't seem to care about this at all.

The Queen Mother looked at Wu Chen in horror. Wu Chen said with a ferocious face: "Are you an old fool? I dared to take action last time, don't I dare not this time? The person you gave me What do you want to do with your food? Do you want to use her to know where Xi Mo is?”

The Queen Mother opened her mouth immediately when she heard the word Xi Mo.

"As long as I exert a little force, you can meet your ghost sister. If you refuse to leave, that's just what I want. I can trap you and prevent you from leaving forever!"

Chen Nanzhu looked at the scene in front of him in horror, and the beautiful future he had built in his heart completely collapsed.

Just as Wu Chen expected, what Chen Nanzhu has been waiting for is the Queen Mother's marriage. She thinks that no one dares to violate the Queen Mother's decree. As long as the Queen Mother is willing to help her, Wu Chen will definitely marry her, even if Today, Wu Chen said that the Queen Mother was useless, and Chen Nanzhu didn't believe it. It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he realized that all his preparations these days were in vain.

At this moment, Chen Nanzhu didn’t even think about why Wu Chen was angry? What's wrong with your body?

"Wu Chen! Don't mess around!" Xing Yun's voice came from outside the hall.

Before he finished speaking, Xing Yun was already standing beside Wu Chen, but he didn't know what to do. (End of this chapter)
