The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 81

"Hey, why hasn't the prince called us in for so long?"

The two servants waited outside for a long time, but they didn't hear King Cheng's call.The handyman who brought in the water didn't come out, and the door in the inner room was closed again. It won't be... nothing will happen, right?
These two maidservants were born in the palace, and they were not particularly dull and ignorant, but they never imagined that this unattractive male servant would be one of the three elders of the Destiny Sect.

They just feel a little abnormal out of an instinctive sensitivity...

"Here, sister, do you want to report to the steward?"

"But……"

The older maidservant called Sister hesitated for a moment, still unable to make up her mind.The lord's temper is unpredictable now, and he often has all kinds of crazy and unexpected behaviors. If nothing happened at all, they would make a fuss and alarm everyone...Will the lord punish them?

Neither left nor right, the two maidservants were suffering so much, they pricked up their ears to listen to the movement in the room, but they couldn't hear them.

Just when they were so anxious and finally couldn't help but want to report, the door of the inner room finally opened!
It was the same male servant who carried water just now, came out with two empty buckets, and whispered to them: "You two sisters, my lord wants you to go in and clean up."

He lowered his voice again, and said: "My lord is not in a good mood. Just now I asked the villain about the nearby cities and counties for a long time. The two sisters should be careful not to offend the lord." It seemed that he was thinking of them all The simple and honest appearance, very sincere.

The two maidservants rushed into the inner room as if they were pardoned, ignoring the conversation with this lowly and dirty handyman.

As soon as they entered, they found that the prince hadn't even taken off the cloak he was wearing earlier, and he was sitting blankly alone, staring at the ceiling in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

But the pot of hot water has already cooled down.

"My lord, do you want them to bring water again?"

The older servant girl boldly came over to ask for instructions.

King Cheng thought he had been frightened by something, and suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and shouted hoarsely: "Get out! Get out of the way for the lonely king!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The servants were terrified, thinking that the prince was about to lose his temper again.They quickly retreated with the basin of hot water, not daring to take the initiative to come in to serve.

King Cheng roared twice, then gasped for breath, grabbed a teacup and smashed it to the ground.

"Bang!"

The sound of the teacup shattering spread far, far away, reaching the ears of the handyman named "Ah Huang" who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Hehe... King Cheng..."

Elder Mei, disguised as a handyman, couldn't help sneering in his heart, his eyes full of disdain.

It is not too difficult to control such a brainless puppet.

Last time, Kui failed.And he will never make the same mistake as Kui again!
In the middle of the night, Cheng Wang curled up on the bed in the guest room that exuded a musty smell, without any sleepiness.The words that the elder of the Destiny Sect said could not stop ringing in his ears, buzzing.

"My lord, let's cooperate."

"Do you want to go back to the capital? Hehehe, of course you do... You understand very well that as long as your brother succeeds to the throne, will he tolerate you who have plotted against him many times?"

"What, you actually believe the rumors of outsiders, Prince Jing, oh, it's time to call him His Highness the Crown Prince... Will he kindly let you go? What a joke. If you took that position, would you let him go?"

"I can assure you that the day when the crown prince succeeds to the throne will be the time when you die... Oh, but if you don't agree to cooperate with us, you won't survive today. How do you choose?"

"Very well, we know that you are a smart person, and you will not choose a dead end for yourself, hahahaha..."

Then, that elder Mei didn't know what kind of pill he gave himself.The medicine melts in the mouth and has almost no taste, but... the stuff from the Demon Cult must be poison!
"Don't be afraid, this is just a big tonic, it can make you more energetic! Although there will be a little disadvantage, haha, this disadvantage, I will tell you later..."

Every movement and every word Elder Mei made was deeply imprinted with fear in King Cheng's mind.And the last few words he left before leaving made King Cheng even more desperate.

"My lord, you just need to be obedient, and we will take care of the rest. For example, we can't let His Royal Highness take the throne so quickly... So His Majesty must live well..."

"So, we have sent a new good doctor to His Majesty. Oh, by the way, this doctor was brought before Your Majesty by your concubine, Concubine Shu..."

"Concubine Shu has chosen to cooperate with us. What do you think?"

Even the mother and concubine are controlled by them?

King Cheng could only watch helplessly as Elder Mei returned to the reserved and humble look when he came in, and slowly walked out with the bucket in his hand, unable to utter a word.

Until now, that cold and terrifying feeling was as terrifying as ants crawling all over his back.

There is no other way...

Does he not even have the qualifications to be an idle clan!
The moment he left Beijing, he had almost given up on fighting for the throne.In the past six months, his teacher has been idled, his party members have been transferred from their original positions, or demoted, and some have even been found out about corruption and illegality and have been imprisoned... On the contrary, more and more courtiers are silent Standing on the brother's side.

What chance does he have of winning? Just admit defeat.He told himself it was nothing, didn't most royal families live like this?Although the fee allocated by the father for the feudal clan is not much, but the mother and concubine can still talk in front of the father, he will not be too sad when he gets to the place, right?
Who knows, just when he was too lazy to think about the future, the people of Tianming Cult didn't let him go!

"Ho ho ho, ho..."

He was stuck in his throat, trying desperately to spit out something, but he could only spit out his own saliva.He had vomited several times just now, but...he also knew in his heart that since the people of the Destiny Sect had drugged him, it was absolutely impossible for him to solve it easily.

The wind and rain outside the window seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, rustling, as if shouting, kill, kill, kill...

King Cheng held the bedpost tightly, his nails dug deep into the wood, and his whole body was trembling.

The long rainy night seems to never pass...

"It's raining a lot."

Waking up in the morning, Yun Ruochen yawned, drank the calming tea in his hand in small sips, and then slowly got out of bed to wash and make up.

While helping her dress, Xia Hong said with a smile: "Isn't it? There's been a lot of rain this autumn, but the princess thinks it's too cold? Do you want to warm a stove for you?"

"No, that's too squeamish. It's only the end of September and I'm hugging the stove. What will I do in the twelfth lunar month?"

Yun Ruochen and Xia Hong gradually got acquainted with each other, and they began to speak casually.Today, because she is going to study in the study, she is also in a particularly good mood.

The two lecturers who were born in the Imperial Academy were indeed well-learned people, and they explained the profound things in a simple way when they lectured, without being wordy or trite at all.

Her knowledge of ancient prose is actually not bad, at least as a nine-year-old female student, it has already satisfied the two lecturers very much.After a comprehensive investigation and communication, the gentlemen decided that she could skip the primary literacy stage of "Thousand Characters" and "Children's Learning Qionglin" and start learning directly from "The Analects".

Of course, that poor student student Gu Che was still stuck at the level of learning to write stroke by stroke and couldn't move forward.

Gentlemen are very strict in teaching. In comparison, Mr. Chang is stricter than Mr. Tong.Especially for Gu Che, in the spirit of "responsibility to Elder Gu Ge and the sacrificed General Gu", their strict requirements on him have reached the point where Yun Ruochen can't bear to look directly at him.

If he was going to school at his own home, Gu Che would dodge as much as he could, and run away as soon as he could.But because he was studying with him in the palace, first, he didn't want to embarrass his grandfather—although it was already embarrassing enough; They all gritted their teeth and persisted.

Facts have proved that Gu Che is not so stupid that he can't be saved.After a period of intensive hard work and training, among other things, his handwriting is much more correct, at least not like a dog crawling...

"Ache, your handwriting is much better than before."

During the break between classes, Yun Ruochen deliberately took Gu Che's newly written large characters to read, and said with a smile, "You're making great progress, you have to make persistent efforts."

Gu Che blushed, and laughed twice: "Really?"

"Well, it's still making progress." Tong Hao also came over to chat with the two students after drinking hot tea to moisten his throat.It was rare to be praised by Mr. Gu Che, but he was quite happy.

Although he still felt that practicing martial arts, archery and horse racing was a hundred times more enjoyable than studying, after living in Beijing for a long time, he gradually understood what reading meant to children like them.

He can not take the imperial examination and not be a literati, but he can't really be illiterate.Not everyone will tolerate him like the little princess, if he can't understand their "elegant and elegant" words when interacting with others, he will definitely be cast aside by the entire social circle of the upper class in the capital.

Although he misses the unrestrained days of being closed countless times, he also clearly knows that he may never go back to that kind of free life.

He is the only male in the Gu family, destined to bear the future of this noble family.

He didn't realize these things at first.Even if the grandfather preached and the master taught, he still did his own thing and ignored it.

Until he really entered the palace and studied with Yun Ruochen.

At this time, the little princess is no longer the bold, free-spirited and funny little girl when he first met.Her demeanor is impeccably elegant, but when she was reading, she would question her husband for a long time about a difficult sentence in the classics, and often debate with him about some questions he could not understand...

She is so smart and powerful, she is obviously a girl who is a few years younger than him, but she is so calm and generous that it makes him feel ashamed.Compared with her, Gu Che realized how naive he was.

He finally made up his mind to change himself.

　Everyone has to experience growth.And the time to grow up with friends is always very happy.
