Chapter 395: No visit
The blisters on my feet are all caused by myself.
The reason why Concubine Lu and others ended up like this today is because they were too ambitious. One of them has reached the position of Duke of the Kingdom, and the other is an extremely noble concubine. To everyone in the world, this status is... They could only look up, not dare to look close, but this was still not enough to satisfy their desire for power. They would not give up until they held the second prince on the highest dragon chair.
This was all a result of their ambition.
In the end, the queen and the eldest prince won this game, and Concubine Lu was now kneeling here, waiting to beheaded.
But if it was like in the previous life, if Concubine Lu won this game, then the people kneeling here waiting to beheaded would be the queen and the eldest prince.
It was Concubine Lu who started this game. Now that she loses, no one else is to blame, and no one else will sympathize with them.
As soon as three quarters past noon arrived, the executioner sitting below the emperor gave the order to begin the execution.
When Xia Zihan was sitting on the tree, he saw with his own eyes that more than a hundred people from the Lu family were hiding their heads under the executioner's giant knife one by one. The executioner shouted, and with one strike of the knife, the heads rolled down and blood flowed. A few meters away.
In less than a cup of tea, there were as many headless corpses as a mountain piled up on the left side of the executioner, and on the right side of the executioner, there were piles of human heads.
The queen did not dare to look, as a palace maid next to her covered her eyes with a veil.
The emperor's eyes were unblinking, and he watched from beginning to end until the last one, Concubine Lu's head was chopped off. Then the emperor stood up and said softly, "Mother, it's over."
"It's all over, let's go back to the palace."
Seeing the heads of Duke Lu Guo and Concubine Lu fall to the ground with his own eyes, the emperor truly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart truly fell back to where it was before.
It wasn't until the carriage of the Emperor and Queen Mother left that Xia Zihan took out the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.
The secret guard said, "County Lord, I'll take my leave."
As soon as the black shadow flashed, the person disappeared.
Xia Zihan and his three masters and servants waited until everyone at Caishikou had almost left before flying down.
Xia Zihan looked at the headless corpses and heads that were being carried by a dozen palace guards. She suddenly grinned and said with a smile, "My great revenge, my grandfather's great revenge, is finally avenged today." ”
The three masters and servants went to Juxiang Tower for dinner and met Ao Tianchen. Ao Tianchen also came to see Lu Guifei's beheading. After watching it, like Xia Zihan, he stopped by for dinner at Juxiang Tower.
There was a young man with him. He was dark-skinned and tall. After being introduced, Xia Zihan knew that he was the son of Deputy General Huo, who served under the Second Prince. Deputy General Huo was transferred to the Military and Horse Department by the emperor. , served as the general of the Army and Horse Department, and Huo Dashao was appointed as a thousand general in the Army and Horse Department, with a thousand soldiers under his command.
Seeing that Ao Tianchen and Young Master Huo were talking about something, Xia Zihan knew better than to sit in a private room with Ao Tianchen, but chose a small private room far away from Ao Tianchen's private room.
After dinner, Chu Cong, who went out for a walk, came back.
She told Xia Zihan, "The little princess was frightened that day and fell ill after returning home. She has not recovered yet. She has been groggy and confused all day long and has never been able to wake up."
"Princess Qinghui also fell ill, which was a little less serious than the little princess. After resting in bed for a month, she recovered and was able to walk, but the little princess... never recovered."
< br>
No wonder, when she knelt down, she didn't see Princess Qinghui and Princess Mingzhu. She was still guessing that they must have been frightened.
But I didn’t expect Princess Mingzhu to be so ill?
But why didn't Ao Tianchen go to the Chu family to ask Doctor Bai to save Princess Mingzhu?
Based on Ao Tianchen's identity and her relationship with the Second Prince's Mansion and the Chu family, as long as Ao Tianchen opens the door, she and Doctor Bai will agree.
Xia Zihan was puzzled, but she had no intention of taking the initiative to send Doctor Bai to the Second Prince's Mansion. This was a matter between the couple, and she would not take the initiative to take charge of it stupidly.
Princess Mingzhu is Ao Tianchen's daughter-in-law. He will naturally care about his daughter-in-law, and there is no need for her to meddle in her own business.
Xia Zihan thought so and didn't pay much attention to Princess Mingzhu's affairs.
After eating, she went back without even saying hello to Ao Tianchen.
Xia Shiming happened to be at the Chu family, talking to Zeng Yiran about taking office. The court documents came down, and Zeng Yiran was sent to Lianghuaicheng to make a general negotiation.
Although he was only an official of the sixth rank, this already made Zeng Yiran very satisfied. When he received the imperial edict, tears welled up in excitement.
You know, generally, newly admitted Jinshi, even if they are among the top ten and are highly regarded by the emperor, they have to start from the seventh grade county magistrate and slowly rise up step by step.
And as soon as he took office, he was a full-ranked official, much better than those who were in the top ten in the past. He was also lucky to have this opportunity. If the Lu family hadn't rebelled, a quarter of the people in the court would be taken with him. All the ministers have been implicated, leaving many official positions vacant. Maybe he hasn't had this good opportunity yet. Moreover, Huaihuaicheng is the nearest big city to the capital. There is also a large wharf that is the largest in the Dasheng Dynasty and has a south-to-north connection. And he has always been interested in shipbuilding. Maybe that is the best place to develop his abilities. Woolen cloth.
"Cousin, I heard that after you go there, you will live in the government office. The prefect also lives there. Take a look at what you need and tell Manager Lu so that he can buy everything. You can save the time to go to Tuanghuaicheng to buy some temporarily. ”
Zeng Yiran was Tongpan. When Tongpan took office, he had to give gifts to the magistrate of Shangfeng. This gift-giving is a delicate job. If you give a light gift, people will say you despise him. But if you give a heavy gift, people will say you are contemptuous. You use money to hit officials.
No matter how you give it, it’s not good. It must be delivered to people’s hearts, and it must be valuable. It is best if the gift is light and meaningful. People will think highly of you and think you are smart and promising. Maybe you will have a relationship. Well, people will lend a hand to help you when you are in a critical moment.
Manager Lu has been working hard in the capital for decades. He has heard and seen a lot about gift-giving, so it is best to let him handle it.
After more than a month of recovering from his injuries, Mr. Lu's injuries have completely healed. His body has recovered well, and nothing is wrong now.
Manager Lu was very grateful for Xia Zihan's life-saving grace. When he saw Xia Zihan, his attitude was a little more respectful than before.
After hearing Xia Zihan's words, he hurriedly bowed to Zeng Yiren, "Young Master Biao has something to say, and I will definitely handle it to satisfy Young Master Biao."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Lu first," Zeng resolutely said politely, and went to discuss the things to be purchased with Mr. Lu.
Xia Shiming and Xia Zihan went to the flower hall to have a chat.
"Sister Qing's wedding was halfway through. As soon as the wedding team entered the gate of Wang's house and even before the ceremony, chaos broke out in the capital. At that time... the guests at Wang's house didn't dare to make any noise or make any noise, so the wedding was just as quiet. The confusion has passed, and until now, Sister Qing has not returned the door. ”
Xia Ziqing was really unlucky. On the day of her wedding, there was chaos in the palace and the anniversary of the emperor's death. Fortunately, the emperor died late. If he had died earlier, the palace bell would have rang before the sedan chair entered the Wang family gate. The sedan chair had to lift off the bright red veil and then be carried back to her parents' home obediently.
If that were the case, Xia Ziqing would be even more embarrassed.
It will take two years to take her back to her parents' home and get married again.
During the national mourning period, the court banned happy events for at least two years, and no one dared to hold happy events during these two years.
Xia Ziqing was unlucky, but also lucky. She was carried into the Wang family before the bell rang for the emperor's death. Otherwise, if she had been carried back to her parents' home, she would have cried by now.
She didn't return the door, which Xia Zihan could understand.
During the national mourning period, no one dared to have any happy events. Even if they returned home, Xia Ziqing did not dare to interfere with the national mourning.
"Sister Qing didn't go to church. Your eldest aunt is worried that the Wang family will use this matter to suppress Sister Qing in the future."
"Your eldest aunt feels sorry for Sister Qing, so she wants to take her back. When the national mourning period is over, she will ask the Wang family to pick her up for a kiss. But your grandmother is thinking that since Sister Qing has been carried to the Wang family, then the Wang family Wife, there is no reason to bring her back.”
"As for the worship ceremony, let the Wang family invite some highly respected relatives and friends to perform a ceremony of worship in front of everyone on another day. As long as the Wang family recognizes Sister Qing as the Wang family's daughter-in-law."
But this shortcoming will be grasped by others for a lifetime.
Without formal worship, they are not considered a serious couple.
If Young Master Wang is a person who values affection and justice, then that's fine. No matter when the time comes, he will never have evil thoughts or betrayal. But if he is a playboy and a ruthless and unjust thing, then in the future, He has become rich. When Xia Ziqing gets old and loses her charm, will the eldest young master of the Wang family use this excuse to send Xia Ziqing back to the Xia family?
After all, the two of them have never met each other, so they are not a serious couple.
"Has the eldest sister entered the Wang family's genealogy?" Xia Zihan asked.
Xia Shiming raised his eyebrows and his face became more solemn, "If you are on the royal family tree, why should your aunt be so nervous."
"Master Wang is just a branch of the Wang family. The Wang family's hometown is in Lingnan. The Wang family's genealogy has always been kept in the old house in Lingnan, and is guarded by a direct branch of the Wang family. If you want to create a genealogy for your eldest sister, you have to go to Lingnan. But the eldest young master of the Wang family is going to take office in the next few days, and he doesn’t have time to go to Lingnan to write the genealogy for your eldest sister. This matter will be delayed.”
"Your eldest aunt is afraid that Young Master Wang will have a prosperous official career in the future, so she doesn't recognize Sister Qing and is afraid that Sister Qing will suffer a loss."
Ouch...what is this all about?
Xia Zihan's face turned dark.
Her eldest aunt was right to worry, but Xia Ziqing had already entered the Wang family and was the Wang family's wife. If she really took Xia Ziqing back, she would not only step on the Wang family's face, but also if the Wang family got angry and called off the marriage, it would be a big deal. Doesn't Auntie want to harm Xia Ziqing for the rest of her life?
Who would want a woman who had already been married once and lived in her husband's house for two months before the engagement was annulled?
It’s not like all the women in the world are dead, so they have to marry a rag and go back?
