Chapter 628 The Queen Mother proposes marriage
Chu Jingqi took her clothes and was about to take a bath in the bath. Suddenly, she heard a small ringtone outside the house.
The sound was very small, as loud as the buzzing of a fly. If you didn't listen carefully, it would be easy to ignore it. Xia Zihan's ears had always been sensitive, so when she heard the ringing, her ears stood up, feeling curious and weird.
Where did the ringing sound come from this late at night?
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Chu Jingqi knelt on the ground in pain, her face pale, sweating profusely, and humming.
Xia Zihan was shocked and rushed over.
After an experience, this time, Xia Zihan was much faster than yesterday. He immediately raised his knife and knocked Chu Jingqi unconscious.
Yesterday, after Chu Jingqi fainted, his head no longer hurt, but today, even after he fainted, his eyebrows were still wrinkled and he groaned in discomfort.
As for Xia Zihan, he saw that the bug had reached under his scalp again. It was moving very quickly. It appeared on his forehead and then on his neck. Each time it appeared, it disappeared in a flash.
Xia Zihan took out the silver needle, but every time he tried to immobilize it, it ran away.
But Chu Jingqi was still in pain, and her body was twitching in pain. Xia Zihan was heartbroken and wanted to take the pain for him, but the painkillers were useless for him, so she could only worry on the sidelines.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? After I fainted yesterday, it obviously didn't hurt. Why is it still hurting today? Could it be that... the Gu insect was awakened by someone?"
Xia Zihan guessed anxiously.
Suddenly, she remembered the ringtone.
Today is the day before Si Cao gets married. The yard is very lively. Many little maids who play well with Nuanyu Si Cao are in the wing where Si Cao lives, giving makeup and talking and laughing. It’s so lively. .
The bursts of laughter from the maids covered up the small ringing, but Xia Zihan still heard the ringing with the tip of his ears.
She had never heard a bell ringing in the house before. The ringing was neither urgent nor slow, nor loud nor small. It sounded strangely and was still ringing...
"Chu Fei, Chu Cong, quickly... quickly find this ringtone and catch that person. You must catch him." Xia Zihan ordered towards the door.
If she hadn't been worried about Chu Jingqi, she would have wanted to catch that person herself.
Not long after Chu Fei and Chu Xing left, the ringing sound disappeared. Chu Jingqi miraculously no longer hurt, her twisted face gradually relaxed, and she stopped humming.
Xia Zihan took the handkerchief and wiped his sweaty head. Her heart ached, "Sure enough, there is something wrong with the ringtone."
In the past, when I read books about voodoo insects, it was mentioned in the book that the tools used by the poisoner to wake up the voodoo bugs include bells, recorders, whistles and other items.
Just now, she heard the bell ringing, but she didn't think about it at first. Later, Chu Jingqi fainted, but the worm in his body was still acting as a demon, so she guessed that the ringing was awakening the worm in his body.
As soon as the ringing stopped, he felt no pain.
Sure enough, her guess was right.
Half an hour later, Chu Fei and Chu Cong came back exhausted.
"Princess, my servant is useless, I let that man escape." Chu Fei and Chu Cong both knelt down to apologize.
Xia Zihan was a little disappointed, but he didn't blame them. "Do you know who is ringing the bell?"
Chu Cong said, "I have asked around, but no one knows that the ringing sound is very close. But we have checked the entire Anjun Prince's Mansion, and no one knows where the ringing comes from." This is strange, it is so loud. Prince Anjun's Mansion, Yuqiong Garden is in the inner courtyard, and is thousands of meters away from the outer courtyard wall of Prince Anjun's Mansion. If the person ringing the bell is not nearby, how can he be outside?
Ring a bell outside, can you hear it here?
"Let's conduct a thorough investigation." Xia Zihan said, and she called out the twenty secret guards guarding Yuqiong Garden. "Can you see suspicious people ringing bells around Yuqiong Garden?"
< br>
The twenty secret guards looked at each other and shook their heads, "Princess Princess, no."
How could it not be.
Could it be that the bell was really ringing thousands of meters away?
……
The next day, Si Cao got married. Xia Zihan didn't invite anyone, not even the Chu family. Everyone in Prince An's own palace had a lively wedding banquet.
As for Princess Ximin, Xia Zihan didn't want to see her, let alone see her pestering Chu Jingqi. During her meal in the morning, someone secretly gave her a heavy dose of drug in her meal so that she could sleep comfortably. Two days and two nights.
When Princess Ximin woke up the next day, Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan had already gone to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.
At the same time, the Queen Mother issued an edict to marry Princess Ximin and gave her to Rong San to be the crown prince's concubine.
This was the first time in several years that the Queen Mother had issued a decree regarding marriage. The first time, it shocked the entire government and the public, and blinded the eyes of the people in the capital.
Princess Ximin was rescued from the Japanese country. Logically speaking, she was a widow. Widows rarely remarried, especially women with status. If they remarried, they would be criticized.
People like Princess Ximin usually choose a quieter place in the harem, guard their chastity, and live a lonely life.
But she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually recommend her marriage, and she would recommend it to Rong San, who was acting in a high-profile manner these days.
When Rong San knelt down to receive the decree, he was completely confused. He felt as if his head had been hit by something. After the young father-in-law who came to deliver the decree finished reading the decree, he forgot to stretch out his hand when he handed the decree to him. Go pick it up.
It was Princess Rong who reacted quickly and pinched his arm secretly, which brought him back to his senses from the pain, and then she accepted the order.
After the little father-in-law received two big red envelopes and left, Rong San slumped on the chair and said blankly, "Mom, tell me, what does the Queen Mother mean by giving me a worn-out shoe worn by someone else? This is a slap in the face of our Prince Rong.”
"Don't talk nonsense." Princess Rong scolded him with a long face, "Princess Ximin is also the biological daughter of the late emperor after all. She is a dignified princess and comes to be your concubine. Even if she is married, it is just a compliment to you. You Even if you don’t like it, don’t cause trouble for me.”
The princess made Rong San a concubine. On the surface, she was really promoting Rong San. However, this princess had been married and had stains on her body, and the Queen Mother left it to Prince Rong's palace to take care of this stain.
Princess Rong couldn't say she liked it, but she couldn't dislike it either.
Even if Prince Rong was slapped in the face by the Queen Mother, she could not yell out loud.
To be slapped in the face by the Queen Mother, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, is the blessing of Prince Rong. They can only say they are happy, but cannot say they are unhappy.
However, I still feel unhappy, as if I was drinking a bowl of delicious meat porridge and suddenly ate a dead fly. The feeling is disgusting and makes me want to vomit. .
His Rong family has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and no descendant has ever married a second-married woman. Even if it is just a concubine, Princess Rong feels that the brand of Prince Rong's mansion has been stained.
However, this is Yizhi, and the person is still a princess. Even if she is not happy, she cannot refuse.
