Chapter 499: One road leads to darkness
Xu Renxu's situation was not much better than that of Zhao Wanyi. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he started to go crazy, "I don't accept it! I don't accept it! I am the most noble prince of the royal family, why should my father treat me like this? It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be ! ”
He looked up to the sky and screamed with grief and anger. He hated the Queen Mother for meddling in her own business, hated Cen Mingxue for confessing, and even more hated the Emperor for being ruthless!
Zhao Wanyi looked at this scene indifferently and said feebly: "Your Highness, what will you do next?"
Xu Renxu suddenly turned around, rushed to Zhao Wanyi, and grabbed her wrist, "Aren't you the eldest daughter of the Zhao family? Doesn't Princess Qingkang value you the most? Go to the Zhao family and beg Taifu Zhao to let him in. The palace intercedes on our behalf.”
Zhao Wanyi tried her best to break free from Xu's shackles and looked at him mockingly, "Husband, do you know why I was demoted together with you?"
Xu Renxu's face darkened.
Zhao Wanyi started to complain regardless, "Because I lied to protect you. You treat your daughter like this, and I became your accomplice. The Queen Mother cannot tolerate it, and the Emperor cannot forgive it.
< br>
It's all because of you that I'm in this situation!
You still want me to drag the entire Zhao family to be buried with you. What are your intentions? ”
Xu Renxu pinched Zhao Wanyi's neck fiercely, with a ferocious look on his face, "Who allowed you to talk to me like this? Zhao Wanyi, who are you? If it weren't for the sake of the Zhao family, do you think I would marry you?" br>
When the Zhao family tried so hard to marry you to me, wasn't it just a gamble? Now that everyone is in the same boat, the Zhao family wants to stay out of it? dream!
I tell you, you have to go even if you don’t want to, otherwise I don’t mind dragging the Zhao family into the abyss! ”
Anyway, he was already like this, and the worst he could do was to die, but Mr. Zhao couldn’t afford to gamble!
"You lunatic!" Zhao Wanyi was so angry that she clenched her fists unconsciously.
Princess Qingkang's confidant, Sister Dong, happened to hear these words when she came over, and her face sank.
"I have met my uncle, eldest lady." Aunt Dong expressed her blessing as she expressed her blessing.
As if she had caught a savior, Zhao Wanyi rolled and crawled behind Aunt Dong, "Mommy, Murong Xu is crazy! He wants to harm our Zhao family!"
Aunt Dong turned back distressedly and took Zhao Wanyi forward, "Miss, the Grand Tutor fainted in the palace last night because of the holy edict, and he just woke up now, Your Majesty
The emperor was really angry this time. He not only ignored the Taifu, but also didn't even express his opinion. The Zhao family was in a very bad situation. ”
Zhao Wanyi's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. Coldness rose from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her limbs and bones. Her voice was trembling as she spoke, "So grandpa can't help us?"
Aunt Dong held Zhao Wanyi's hand hard and said, "Miss, the emperor is very angry now. If the emperor finds out that there are courtiers helping my uncle at this moment, the end will be the same as that of the Cen family. You may not know that the Cen family has been raided. , Cen Ying and Fan Qiuhou asked about it.
The old man couldn't protect himself now, so he thought of a way for his uncle. ”
Xu Renxu's cold expression changed a little when he heard these words, "What method?"
Seeing that he didn't mention anything about what happened just now, Aunt Dong felt angry and replied indifferently: "Master Taifu said, let me change my ways, start a new life, live a good life, let the emperor see my sincerity, etc. After a while, the emperor laughed angrily and tried to find a way to plead for his uncle. "
Xu, a common man, was furious, "How outrageous! What's wrong with what I did? Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. I just did what a superior person would do, so why should I change my ways!"
Aunt Dong said calmly: "Uncle, there are no fathers and sons in the royal family, only monarchs and ministers. As a minister, your actions are indeed without consideration. Let's not mention the matter of Miss Jing for the moment. The emperor cannot tolerate the matter of Jinlan Courtyard alone. The Queen Mother can’t forgive it, can she?”
"Humph!" Commoner Xu tilted his head angrily, his eyes bloodshot.
Aunt Dong did not persuade him anymore, but looked back at Zhao Wanyi and warned her earnestly: "Miss, the princess has said that since you are demoted, you will have to be demoted. You must live a difficult life and let the palace The Queen Mother and the Emperor know How difficult it is for you. Once the emperor is relieved and his heart softens, it will be easier for the Tutor." Zhao Wanyi's fearful expression gradually disappeared, and she looked at Aunt Dong eagerly, "What should I do?"
< br>
"The reason why the Queen Mother and the Emperor are angry with the eldest lady is simply because of the beaten girl Jing. I heard that the Queen Mother placed Concubine Li and Miss Jing in a house in the south of the city, and they are still on the royal jade plate.
When the eldest lady has free time, she can visit her, beg Concubine Li and Miss Jing for forgiveness, eat fast and pray to Buddha, use the dowry money to do good deeds, and find ways to earn money to support herself when the dowry is used up.
The harder you live and the harder you work, the more people in the palace will forgive you. Even if you can't restore your identity later, the Zhao family will not make the emperor unhappy by helping the eldest lady, don't you think? ”
Aunt Dong broke her words into small pieces and spoke them out, hoping that Zhao Wanyi and Xu Ren would listen.
Zhao Wanyi was thoughtful, but Xu Ren sneered.
After Aunt Dong left, Xu Renxu began to ridicule Zhao Wanyi, "Teacher Zhao is very clever. In order to protect himself, he can even say such deceptive words!"
Zhao Wanyi came back to her senses, glanced at Xu Ren, and said to Qiu Ju: "Let's go! Let's go back and rest first. You go and inquire about Concubine Li and Miss Jing. If they have moved to the south of the city, I will go and see them." Take a look.”
Xu Renxu wanted to say something more, but when Zhao Wanyi didn't respond at all, his facial features were distorted with anger.
"I want to see what the point of all this trouble is for you!"

Early the next morning.
Qiu Ju went out to buy groceries and inquired about the news. When she came back, she hurried into Zhao Wanyi's house and said, "Master, I have found out clearly that Concubine Li and Miss Jing moved to a large house with three entrances in the south of the city yesterday morning.
The Queen Mother also arranged for Miss Jing to have a wet nurse and two personal maids, and Concubine Li was also accompanied by two maids. ”
Zhao Wanyi looked at the bronze mirror and hesitated for a long time before putting down the exquisite and gorgeous gold hairpin. Instead, she picked up an elegant jade hairpin and put it on her head, "Where is my uncle?"
Since she has to put on a show, she can't be the only one performing a one-man show.
Besides, Murong Jing's injuries were caused by Xu, a common man. What does it have to do with her?
Qiu Ju's face tightened and she wrung her hands uneasily, "Master, I went out last night and haven't returned yet."
"What?" Zhao Wanyi turned around suddenly, eyes widening angrily, "Where did he go?"
Qiu Ju shook her head quickly, "My uncle went out with his confidants, and there are only slaves and master left in the house."
Zhao Wanyi was so angry that she almost had a heart attack, and the veins on her forehead popped out, "The mud can't stand up to the wall! Forget it! Since he insists on having his own way, I can't persuade him, let's go on our own!"
She recalled how she hoped that Murong Xu would come back to support her and take her out of her predicament when Murong Xu was far away at the border.
Now she realizes that Murong Xu's return is the beginning of her disaster!
