Chapter 445: Forcing Zhang Fei to Embroider
Perhaps, only Murong Rui himself knew why he did not dare to come to the prince's spirit, because he himself could not face it and felt guilty.
At night, Murong Rui cried alone in his room. Was it because of guilt or regret?
When he learned that his royal brother had told his father not to investigate the food poisoning case any further before his death, he knew that he was intentionally protecting him.
But later, he directly rejected his own qualification to be the crown prince, which made him furious for a while.
Damage has been spilled and cannot be undone. Some roads have been taken wrongly and there is no turning back. He has no face to go before the spirit of his royal brother in heaven and can only hide like a coward.
Before murdering him, Murong Rui just wanted to make his health worse so that he would not be able to become the crown prince, because a dynasty would not want a sickly crown prince to become emperor in the future.
In this way, the emperor and the queen would place all their hopes on him, the second legitimate son.
But he was wrong. So many years had passed, and even if his health was poor, as long as he was not dead, his father had never thought of deposing him. He and his mother had never placed any hope on him.
Now, the emperor's elder brother is dead, and his father still hasn't seen him. He actually wants to make the son of a bitch the crown prince.
After thinking about it over and over again, he still couldn't figure it out.
…
Seven days later, the prince's body was lowered into the imperial mausoleum, and order gradually returned to Kyoto.
However, everyone was still wearing plain clothes, and no one dared to take the emperor's order lightly.
The crown prince has just passed away, and a new heir will not be appointed for a while. At least we have to wait until the national mourning is over.
The princes are now trying their best to fight again, but only Murong Rui knows that the final winner of this battle for the throne has already been decided. If they don't take action, everything will be meaningless.
So he found his queen mother and told her everything he had overheard that day.
When the queen heard the news, she collapsed in her seat with a dull look in her eyes.
I kept repeating to myself, "Impossible."
Finally, she grabbed a pillow like a madman and threw it to the ground, sweeping away the tea on the table, and the porcelain pieces shattered all over the floor.
"Bitch, I will never let you have your way, forget it!"
She had been suppressed by the Imperial Noble Consort all her life, and she had never been willing to accept this. Now that her son was gone, the son of that bitch actually coveted that position.
She could not tolerate being suppressed by her for the rest of her life. If Murong Huai became the emperor, what would her role be? And what would her son's role be?
Her son is the legitimate heir of the imperial family. What is Murong Huai to him? Why?
Be patient and be patient again, there is no need to be patient anymore.
Wasn't the Emperor's partiality to her enough? He had promoted an Imperial Noble Consort while she, the Empress, was still alive. This was a great humiliation, and she had to swallow it with all her might.
Murong Rui took the opportunity to exaggerate and instigated:
"Mother, we can't sit and wait for death any longer. If we wait any longer, this Jin Dynasty will belong to Murong Huai. We will have no good life in the future. We must think of a solution. Murong Huai is the biggest stumbling block now. We must not let him become the crown prince."
A hint of malice crept into the Queen's eyes. She looked at Murong Rui and sneered:
"Rui'er, don't worry. Your mother is the empress, and you are a legitimate prince. Your brother doesn't have this blessing, but this blessing cannot be enjoyed by outsiders. This blessing can only be yours..."
…
The weather enters October. Kyoto starts to get cooler at this time every year, and everyone puts on autumn clothes.
It rained last night and Su Wan stayed in bed and refused to get up.
As the sun was getting high in the sky, Jiang Yu always kept Su Mu's teachings in mind and made sure that Su Wan had three meals a day.
He pulled her out of the quilt and put clothes on her directly.
As soon as Liuying and the others came in, they saw that Su Wan was already dressed, but her clothes were a little sloppy. Her belt was loose and not straightened out, with wrinkles all over it. Her bow was also tied inside out, which really ruined her beauty.
The main thing is that Jiang Yu, the owner of this masterpiece, seems quite satisfied.
This girl's clothes are so complicated, with ties here and there, and he doesn't know how to tie a beautiful bow, so what should he do?
After a while of struggling, Su Wan finally came to his senses. He looked at his sloppy style with some helplessness. His technique was even worse than when he first started learning how to dress.
Finally, after Liuying and the others sorted it out, it regained its beauty.
Although it is just a simple white dress, it gives off a different kind of cool feeling when worn on Su Wan.
Jiang Yu knew that his dressing skills were disliked, so he wanted to develop hair-combing skills.
Maybe he was too strong, and his hair was inevitably a little tangled after waking up, so when he wasn't paying attention, Su Wan covered her hair with her hands with a hissing sound.
"Be gentle."
Jiang Yu was at a loss for a moment:
"Does it hurt? I'll be gentler."
Su Wan glared at him, and Liuyun and Liuying on the side looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
However, this kind of thing happened the first time and then the second time, and Su Wan was hurt by him again and again.
"Jiang Yu, if you have nothing to do every day, go talk to the emperor and he will find you something to do."
Su Wan really couldn't stand him. He was bored all day long and just wanted to find her to relieve his boredom.
Jiang Yu scratched his head helplessly, feeling a little aggrieved. As expected, he was not suitable for these delicate jobs.
Asking him to dress and comb women's hair is like forcing Zhang Fei to embroider, isn't that like forcing him to do so?
Forget it, let’s leave professional matters to professionals!
Jiang Yu is indeed a bit idle now, but it won't be long before he gets busy again.
The Queen has already started to act secretly, and Murong Huai will need his help when the time comes.
However, life in the Duke's Mansion was indeed very boring. Su Wan could only wander around the huge Duke's Mansion every day.
Her grandfather had already returned to Zhongzhou. As soon as she left, Ning Wei and her son became active again and started going out.
On this day, we even invited guests over.
This guest was none other than the Marquis's daughter, Zhong Lier.
Su Wan didn't expect that she would appear in the Duke's Mansion, especially during the national mourning period. At this time, everyone stayed at home obediently and did not go anywhere. Gatherings were not allowed.
But Zhong Lier actually defied the rules and came to visit the Duke's Mansion in a gorgeous light blue dress.
She wore a pearl flower of the same color on her head. Her outfit was not particularly gaudy, but compared to everyone else's plain clothes, it still stood out.
Jiang Yu took Su Wan to pay his respects to the Duke and happened to run into them face to face.
Zhong Lier saw Jiang Yu as soon as she arrived. She was very surprised and couldn't take her eyes off Jiang Yu.
This look made Su Wan very unhappy, and his expression naturally didn't look very good.
"Greetings, Prince Jiang!" Zhong Lier bowed politely.
Polite, but not much.
Jiang Yu didn't even look at her.
