first princess

Chapter 157 The Grandfather Arrives (4)
The old matriarch's tears kept bursting out, took out a handkerchief and wiped it and said, "Don't you ask what Leng Youru did? She poisoned your son, your granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law, She wants to kill our Zhuge family! Xiaoxi and Yao Cheng have been infertile for five years, because she took contraceptive pills, and Linglong went through the door and she prepared spicy dishes for Linglong by herself every day, and contraceptive pills were put in them. Don't care! What about Liuyun's? If Liuyun didn't favor that maid this time, so the toxicity would be halved, I'm afraid Liuyun won't be able to wake up again!"

"Evidence?" Zhuge Xiaotian squinted, the old lady shuddered, and stared back at him weakly, but there was no lethality at all, "I told you about Xiaoxi's premature birth in the letter, but the reason I also only found out not long ago that Leng Youru stuffed oleanders into Xiaoxi's dowry pillow! This is Xiaoxi's fate, she only gave birth prematurely and did not still have a stillbirth, if... if..." At this point, the old lady There was a clear cry in the words, she really couldn't bear the pain of losing Zhuge Xi or her two brothers, "You see, she has ulterior motives, many things don't need evidence, justice is at ease!"

Zhuge Xiaotian squeezed his big palm, and said sharply: "This is the so-called evidence? What can an oleander pillow prove? The pillow has passed through the hands of so many people. Who saw Leng Youru stuffing things into it? Fair What a fart! What you want to see today is irrefutable witnesses and physical evidence! But you have killed the only witness who might be able to report the mastermind behind the scenes! Look at the stupid things you did!" It was Qiao's mother.As for Cen'er, she is a dead soldier, it is difficult to pry her mouth open.

The old matriarch took a breath and cried even harder: "I was just angry at that time!"

Zhuge Xiaotian's cold eyes lingered on her swollen walnut-like eyes for a moment, and he couldn't hold back the swearing, and said in a deep voice: "As for the poisoning of Liuyun, huh! All the evidence together The version in which Zhaoyun framed Liuyun and Wangfei, and made Wangfei the mastermind behind the scenes is more convincing! The only Hongzhu who could retract the confession was also beaten to death by you! So Moheyuan’s poison is Hongzhu after all. Who released it or who released it, there is no way to check!"

Just like Cen'er's fabricated words, Liu Lu was forced to become Zhuge Liuyun's servant girl. Liu Lu was unwilling to serve the prince in her heart, and would try to frame the prince and make the princess the mastermind behind the scenes in order to get rid of the crime. Motive for committing the crime!And Liu Lu goes in and out of Leng Youru's boudoir every day, whether it's the incense or the poison hidden in Zihe's car, she has the opportunity to commit crimes!Compared to Leng Youru who has been in love with Zhuge Liuyun for 20 years, Liu Lu is indeed more likely to be the murderer in everyone's mind!The most important point is, is the Zhuge family going to expose the family ugliness of the Zhuge family for a marriage that cannot be broken at all?

Zhuge Liuyun secretly sighed!The old matriarch didn't care so much, anyway, whoever hurt her son, she would fight desperately!

Zhuge Xiaotian picked up the teacup, gulped down a full cup of cold water, panted and said, "You really plan to make a fuss in the Jinluan Palace, let all civil and military officials see the jokes about our Zhuge family, and let everyone know whether Xiaoxi and Xiaoyu are right? The dead Yan'er is the daughter of the princess? And we abandoned her only flesh and blood when we knew that the princess could not continue to bear children? Then what is the intention of our actions in the eyes of others? They will ask, why not Let the blood of the Central Plains flow in the bones of the heirs of the palace? Is it true that we Kashgar celebrated the surrender of Dazhou and waited for an opportunity to plot a rebellion?"

The old lady's heart skipped a beat and she stopped crying.Zhuge Liuyun lowered his head, unable to refute!
Zhuge Xiaotian looked at his words as enlightenment, and his tone eased a bit, but the aura of killing and decisiveness from the experience on the battlefield has not diminished at all: "Take ten thousand steps back, they really doubted and joined forces like this Attacking the Zhuge family, but as long as the emperor can be convinced to revoke the marriage, it's worth it! But the problem is, will the emperor follow your wishes? Don't even think about what the Zhuge family was like when he bestowed the marriage! Hugh Lengyou Ru? The Arabian Nights! Since exposing the ugliness of the family can't turn the situation around, why do you want to do things that are harmful but not beneficial? Is there no other way to keep her down except to drive Leng Youru out of the house? ? A bunch of idiots!"

The old matriarch was scolded bloody. In the final analysis, all the decisions were made by her. This idiot...isn't she?Uh... bullying people...

After Zhuge Xiaotian scolded his wife, he began to scold his son again: "The South Water Falls to the West Project, Kashgar exchanged cities with the Central Plains and controlled the dam in his own hands. Do you think the emperor has no fear in his heart? It's just that the crown prince advised him to do so." Yes! After all, he is protecting the prince, not Kashgar! You are not afraid that he will use this incident to frame Zhuge’s family as a crime of treason, so that he can send troops to defeat Kashgar and take back the city with the dam ?”

Zhuge Liuyun lowered his head, like a child who has made a mistake, it is really hard to imagine that this is the iron-faced prince who can compete with the emperor in the court.

Zhuge Xiaotian shot a sharp and cold light from his dark eyes: "Your mother is old, and she is a boudoir. You really adopted her decision? As the head of the family, don't tell me that you don't even have a basic You don’t even understand the emperor’s mind! Knowing that she made a mistake, not only did you not make up for it in time, but you even let a pair of children embarrass your aunt. What? Want to tell me that filial piety comes first and you dare not disobey the elders? Your son and daughter disobeyed the aunt again What is it? For the so-called foolish filial piety, thousands of people in Kashgar were put into fire and water, and your family integrity was eaten by dogs? Why didn't I slap you to death at the beginning?"

Zhuge Liuyun's mouth twitched, but he wanted to say it but held back.

Zhuge Xiaotian snorted disdainfully: "What? Feel wronged? Think she hurt you, and you just kicked her out of the mansion and didn't kill her back, it's the best of humanity?"

Zhuge Liuyun was told what was on his mind, and his face felt hot.

Zhuge Xiaotian picked up the empty cup and smashed it in front of Zhuge Liuyun. Accompanied by the crisp sound of porcelain shattering, he roared not to be outdone: "When I told you to save Yan'er, you must save Xiao Yu! If you save Yan Son, there is nothing wrong! You and Leng Youru are reconciled with Meimei, the Emperor of the Great Zhou has no excuses, everyone is happy! You just... care about the bullshit love between children, and gave the antidote to Xiaoyu! Leng Youru Ru's revenge on you, Xiaoxi, Xiaoyu's wife...all of them are the result of your own hands! Who the hell can you blame?"

A layer of bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on Zhuge Liuyun's forehead, and his hands formed fists, with blue veins sticking out one by one, as if they were about to burst at any moment. What's wrong with loving someone?What's wrong with him saving himself and her child?He had already sacrificed the happiness that belonged to each other for the sake of Kashgar, so why, why should he sacrifice his favorite child?

Zhuge Xiaotian pressed his forehead: "Zhuge Liuyun, let me tell you, your achievements and military achievements are all based on the aura of the Zhuge family. If you are a commoner, you can at most become a seventh-rank sesame official now! Because you You are the eldest son of the royal family of Kashgar, so any of your political achievements and military achievements will be doubled or even multiplied! Since you have enjoyed these honors, you have to pay the corresponding price! And these prices are the children's affair!"

...

After Zhuge Liuyun and the old matriarch left the flower hall, Zhuge Xiaotian ordered someone to go to Leng's house to call Leng Youru.Leng Youru was wearing a white plain velvet short jacket, lined with a tunic skirt of the same color, her unpainted face was still breathtakingly beautiful, her lotus steps were lightly moving, and she came gracefully, like a fairy in Yaochi not stained with worldly dust.But it's such an impeccable and beautiful woman who hides a heart of snakes and scorpions!
"Father." Leng Youru saluted calmly and called out.

Zhuge Xiaotian's eyes sharpened, and he slapped the table hard: "Kneel down!"

A powerful coercion came from all directions, and there was no wind, thunder, tsunami, or landslides, but it was like a raging sea, even more like shaking a mountain.

Leng Youru's eyelids moved, she lifted her skirt, and knelt down as promised.

Zhuge Xiaotian stared at her with scorching eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know where I am wrong? Don't talk to me about the nonsense that you were wronged!"

Leng Youru's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in her usual tone, "What's wrong with my daughter-in-law? My Yan'er deserves to die, but everyone else deserves to live?"

Zhuge Xiaotian's eyes narrowed, and there was a little bit of danger like a beast: "Stupid thing like a pig! Yan'er doesn't deserve to die, but can you find out who you want to take revenge on? You are indiscriminately enmity with Zhuge's family like this." , turn Zhuge's family upside down, and only let relatives hurt enemies!"

Leng Youru clenched her plain hand, and almost squeezed out a small voice from between her teeth: "How do you know that I didn't know who I was?"

"Hmph! With your stupid brain, even if you figure out who you are, you'll just fall into the other party's trap better!" Zhuge Xiaotian glanced at her coldly, and questioned in her mood that was about to collapse. , "I ask you, who gave this marriage? Answer me!"

Leng Youru bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty."

"How did you get sterilized?"

"Natural blood collapse."

"Who lost the antidote?"

"Leng Chengkun."

"This has nothing to do with Zhuge's family!" Zhuge Xiaotian's eyes became colder and his voice became deeper and deeper, "Before the emperor bestowed the marriage, Liuyun and her had worshiped in the temple. Dear, although there is no marriage certificate issued by Da Zhou, but in our Kashgar celebration, they are a legitimate couple blessed by the gods! Xiao Yu is the eldest son and grandson of our Zhuge family! You say, why don’t we save Yuan when we get the antidote? Dear son, want to save your continuation son?"

Leng Youru's heart seemed to have been stabbed severely by a knife, and her whole body began to tremble in pain!
Zhuge Xiaotian continued to cook the oil: "Also, why don't you think about it, with your elder brother's caution, why did you lose an antidote when you were drunk on the way to the mission? Don't you suspect that someone tampered with it, or ...The antidote given by the emperor was originally only one? Besides, don’t you wonder, Baizhuan Dan is a strange medicine in South Vietnam, why is it so coincidental that the poisoning of Yan’er and Yu’er was prepared in the hands of the Emperor Da Zhou it?"

Leng Youru's breathing suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened in disbelief...

"I originally thought that everyone's tolerance for you for so many years was enough to wear away the resentment in your heart, and I also thought that you were so talented that one day you would figure out what's wrong with it. Who would have expected you..." Zhuge Xiaotian recalled his dead grandson patiently. The pain, the words are like ice, "I can't figure out the enemy's random attack. If this is on the battlefield, you are a traitor! Are you thinking that the emperor bestowed a marriage, the Leng family lost the medicine, and the Zhuge family abandoned Zhuge Yan? Everyone is sorry for you? So, you framed Leng Wei to make Leng Chengkun feel the pain of losing his beloved daughter! You also drugged Xiaoxi and Linglong, so that the incense of Zhuge's family could not continue! Then, you poisoned Liuyun and used it as a reward. The bargaining chips colluded with the Pingnan Palace, intending to help the Pingnan Palace overthrow the imperial power, and let the emperor feel the feeling of falling into the bottom!"

Leng Youru's nails pinched her thighs, and inserted her clothes into the flesh. Blood flowed out drop by drop, seeping into her white skirt, and smudged layer upon layer in the snow like splashed ink.

Zhuge Xiaotian didn't stop attacking her soul because of her self-torture: "Stupid stupid stupid! I don't even want to scold you! There is only one culprit, but you accidentally injured countless others! You still think you are justified! You can collude with the Prince Nan Palace! At the end of the collusion, the emperor will smash your bones and tendons, and the Leng family will follow suit! Anyway, Leng Chengkun and Leng Yixuan refused to support the prince. The other son of the Leng family will inherit the position of Patriarch! Haha! You, Leng Youru, have really done a great favor to kill your son and enemy!"

In fact, whether the poison of Yan'er and Yu'er was sent by the emperor, Zhuge Xiaotian has been investigating for so many years but has not found any clues; whether the emperor intends to kill the mainstay of the Leng family, Zhuge Xiaotian is not sure, Youru's collusion with Pingnan Palace is very hidden, the emperor should not know about it.But the truth is not important anymore, the important thing is whether Leng Youru will believe it!
Leng Youru's white teeth bit her lip, biting a corner, blood dripped down her pointed jaw, but she barely held back the tears in her eyes.

Zhuge Xiaotian said again: "It's not your fault for being stupid, but it's your fault that you foolishly acted as a gunman for others! You don't know how to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the Pingnanhou's mansion make the royal family go crazy Flying dog jump? Anyway, sooner or later..."

Leng Youru looked at him faintly, as if expecting him to tell what would happen sooner or later, but Zhuge Xiaotian blinked and swallowed what he hadn't finished speaking!Leng Youru's eyes darkened, filled with hostility and resentment again.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and it is almost impossible to dissipate Leng Youru's resentment through one or two conversations, but there is no way to shock her!Zhuge Xiaotian brushed off the hem of his navy blue embroidered mace-tooth jacket, and all his furious emotions seemed to recede in an instant. He was as indifferent as a god in the dark night, with a thick voice like a bell, with a bit of admiration, lingering in his ears endlessly: "No matter who the instigator is, as Yan'er's grandfather, I cannot escape the responsibility for not protecting him well. Therefore, I decided to break the rules and cremate him for him, and allow him to enter the ancestral hall of Zhuge's family, where he will receive incense from future generations and be rich from generation to generation."

Children who did not reach the level of the hairpin or the crown were not allowed to have a grand burial after death, let alone enter the ancestral hall. Zhuge Yan's body was quietly buried in a treasured place of geomantic omen.Leng Youru's defensive line in her heart burst instantly, and she rushed towards Zhuge Xiaotian like crazy: "You are not allowed to touch my Yan'er! You are not allowed to touch him!" Her Yan'er buried in the cold ground is pitiful enough How could it be burned mercilessly once?
Zhuge Xiaotian was not caught by her anger, but said indifferently: "Cremation is the highest funeral ceremony in Kashgar. It is a respect for Yan'er. Those who are cremated and incorporated into the ancestral hall before reaching the crown, Yan'er will be Kashgar's funeral." first one."

This is the cultural difference. The Great Zhou Dynasty favored burials in the ground, and there was no reason for cremation, while Mobei and Kashgar preferred celestial burials, water burials, and even cremation.

Leng Youru stopped the tearing movements and crazy roars, and looked at Zhuge Xiaotian with a calm face, no matter what kind of expression she showed, sad, angry, sad, pitiful...Zhuge Xiaotian was calm and calm, Look calm!
Finally, Leng Youru was defeated... She slowly let go of her hand, slowly knelt at Zhuge Xiaotian's feet, slowly held his right foot, and knelt down in the most pious ceremony of Kashgar celebration. On the ground, he tapped his forehead on his shoe: "Please, don't burn my Yan'er, I will be obedient... I swear in the name of Yan'er's mother, I will never disobey your will again..."

...

Zhuge Xiaotian returned to Tian'anju, Ping'er saluted him, he took out a white jade bracelet from his bosom and handed it to Ping'er, with a blank expression on his face, "I'll make up for your birthday present."

Ping'er was startled at first, and then her nose turned sour. Her birthday passed three days ago, and the old lady gave her a very expensive haircut. He closed his eyes, took it with both hands, and said with a blessing, "Thank you, old lady!"

Zhuge Xiaotian waved his hand, and Ping'er stepped back.Zhuge Xiaotian opened the curtain and entered the bedroom. The old matriarch was crying loudly under the quilt at this time. She was so wronged. Missing him made her heart ache. Finally he came. Public punishment.Woohoo...so embarrassing...

"Ahem!" Zhuge Xiaotian cleared his throat, increasing his sense of presence.The old lady snorted and turned to face the inside of the bed.Zhuge Xiaotian frowned, walked over and lifted the quilt covering her head, sat on the head of the bed, and said, "Are you still angry?"
