Chapter 96 My wish came true again?
Chapter 96 My wish came true again?
Prince Dun's adopted son, Ji Xiao, is actually the emperor's second prince living abroad. This incident once shocked the entire capital, and there were different opinions for a while. Some people said that the last incident of the fourth prince made the emperor see the prince's indifference, so there was another prince. Intention, some people say this is just to make up for the missing years of nurturing grace...
It has been a month since Ji Xiao was called into the palace, and there was no news about him during this period. Undoubtedly, his departure had the most direct impact on Dun Wang's mansion. Dun Wang is stupid, and has always been just It's just the "head of the family" in name. In fact, Ji Xiao is in charge of the Dun Wang Mansion. Now that Ji Xiao has left, the management of the whole family has to fall on my head.
The people who came to congratulate me can be said to have broken through the threshold, regardless of their close relatives and distant relatives, they all put on a fawning gesture, and many of them I have never even seen outside of dreams.
I think, maybe in their view, the person I'm fawning over may be the future candidate for the throne.
And I'm not as "happy" as most people think, and I don't feel how "lucky" I am. I'm just regretful——I escaped late.
The sense of urgency that I am about to repeat the same mistakes made me sleep badly, and the various letters sent to the Dun Palace every day made me shudder—it turned out that Ji Xiao had been with so many people before all this happened. They exchanged letters, many of whom were powerful officials, generals with heavy troops in their hands, and so on.
Perhaps he had foreseen the possibility of this kind of thing happening. I believe his oath to leave the capital with me was true, but at the same time he did not forget to pave the way for himself—a way destined to be full of blood.
And what can I do?In fact, by this time, I already knew that this family might not be able to leave, so I temporarily put aside the half-way moving matters. While helping Ji Xiao to reply to the letter, I did not forget to take care of my bookstore.
Because there is nothing else to do, this seems to be the only way for me to find myself. This newly purchased small house needs to be improved inside and out, not only the appearance of a bookstore , the inside also has to...
Although it didn't take long to create these "color reading materials" in this dream, because of the explosive content and high-quality illustrations, my pen name also gained a lot of fame in a short period of time. The orthodox books were mixed together for sale, and soon my bookstore became more impressive. Steward Zhang, oh no, Steward Zhang is the person I trust the most in the palace. I sent him to guard the bookstore. For the better operation of the bookstore, the other side is to let him supervise the internal renovation of the small house.
The prince came to visit on the eve of Ji Xiao's return to the palace.
With the reason of "coming to visit the fifth princess", his arrival can be said to be very legitimate.
After all, the fifth sister in the dream wants to get to know his prince brother for a longer time. Even though we have changed from stranger to familiarity in the past month, it is still not worth the relationship between brothers and sisters for more than ten years.
"Brother Prince!" Fifth Sister ran up to the eldest brother and threw herself into his arms.
The scene in front of me overlapped with the outside of the dream for a long time, and for a moment, I wanted to make everything in front of me eternal, but I knew it was impossible.
This time, the prince actually came to visit me.
He ordered the people in the mansion to pour tea for the prince, gently picked up the teacup, and he took a sip, seeing that I had pushed away the servants and Fifth Sister around him, so he said: "Look at how well-organized the palace is now. I almost forgot that it was the young master who married the eldest son."
My thoughts paused, every time the crown prince mentioned the little duke, I couldn't help being nervous, I didn't dare to give a positive answer directly, I seemed to casually say: "Whether it's the little dude or Deng'er, they're just stuck here It's just a bird in the mansion."
The prince laughed softly, "There's a big difference, at least it seems that Deng'er is unmarried, while the young master was married off by the prince, isn't it?"
A bad guess flashed through my mind, but I still had to be calm and calm, "The prince is right, haha, speaking of the son... oh, maybe he should be called the second prince now, He has been away from home for many days, and there is no letter of approval from the other side of the palace, the crown prince has always been able to come and go freely, I wonder if it is possible..."
"It seems that Xiao Deng did not marry the eldest son. The young master should call him husband, but you still call him—the eldest son."
Do you still call Ji Xiao the son?It seems that the eldest brother of the prince does not recognize the current identity of Ji Xiao, and it is too late to change his words at this time, so I can only bite the bullet and continue: "My status is low, and in front of him, I only dare to call him ' Your Highness'."
There was a moment of silence, and finally, the prince stood up, "Really, but when you talk to me, you don't seem restrained... I came to visit today, and I feel relieved to see that the fifth sister is safe. I wanted to tell her not to be sad. The father is because I haven't come to see her recently because I'm sick, but looking into her eyes, I can't bear to let her know this, if possible, can you please tell her for me?"
The emperor is sick?Why all of a sudden...
"I'll tell her." I lowered my eyes and said respectfully.
"There is still something to do in the palace, so I will leave first." Before I could say goodbye, the prince stopped and turned to me and said, "I just found out that your biological mother is still with the royal father. With such a relationship, haha, it can be considered fate, maybe in the near future, our relationship will be able to go further, and we will bid farewell."
Gently bowing, I said: "Farewell."
What do you mean?
Could it be said that this time Xiaowan can still become the adopted son of the emperor?No... In this case, what is unavoidable is...
Two days later, Ji Xiao was finally released from the palace... Although he was carried out with great fanfare by the palace people using the prince's exclusive sedan chair, I still think it is not an exaggeration to say that he was "released".
Seeing me waiting for him at the door, he embraced me as soon as he entered the door, and his nasal cavity was filled with his familiar breath. After a long absence, I actually felt an emotion called "peace of mind".
But soon, I noticed that something was wrong with his expression, and I was about to ask him what happened, but he immediately grabbed my wrist and walked towards the inner courtyard without saying a word.
Perhaps his face was too scary, and the fifth younger sister who was about to greet Ji Xiao timidly withdrew her hand.
Twisting my wrists and struggling, he finally let me go when he approached the bedroom, "Have you met the prince?"
"A few days ago, he came to the palace...he already knew about the previous substitute." The more he talked, the weaker his aura became. At this moment, Ji Xiao's forehead could be said to have bruised veins. Because of his anger, his expression Even distorted... even cruel.
"The lingering guy!"
"Why..." Before he could finish asking, Ji Xiao summoned Butler Zhang, "Help him pack his luggage." Then he turned his head and said to me, "You go out of the city now."
Somewhat annoyed, I gritted my teeth, and tightened my grip on his sleeve, "Don't arrange me for yourself! At least let me know what happened!"
Is it because the emperor wants me to be his adopted son?No, it's just that Ji Xiao shouldn't be there.
The deep eyes stared at me, and for a moment, I seemed to see a flash of water in Ji Xiao's firm eyes, which was the fragility he never wanted to show, "At least you said that you want to be with me." Together, you... are my wife, and we were married before." The dark eyes stared at me, as if they were fooling, but also seemed serious, clearly, this was his usual appearance.
That's the young master, the young lady, not me.For a moment, this voice flashed through my mind.
However, soon, another thought that has already taken root at some time replaced its consciousness. It is like a wicker inadvertently inserted on the bank of the river, or a sunflower seed accidentally dropped into the soil. ...
"Yes, but what are you talking about now?" He showed a half-crying expression, and in an instant, I seemed to understand something.
"So you can't marry someone else, you can't... marry someone twice."
Didn't you say you wanted to marry me twice a while ago?Why is this person so contradictory?My eyes were moist for a while, I stepped forward, took a step, and made myself get closer to him, "Of course, bigamy is against the law."
He hugged me lightly, "I'll let that puppet go for you. After leaving the city, you go all the way north, and I'll meet you soon..."
"What if we are found out?"
Staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, after a long absence, in Ji Xiao's eyes, I saw the hysteria as if a lone wolf was driven to a desperate situation, "Then I can't help him."
In the end, I didn't say much, obeyed his arrangement, and took advantage of the night to sit in the carriage dedicated to servants.
Originally, for his own safety, Ji Xiao didn't have to send me off... Or rather, he should have not sent me off, but he insisted on squeezing into the narrow carriage with me, hugged me hard, and whispered in my ear While whispering love words and endless desires...
I couldn't even tell whether it was the bumping of the carriage or the endless rhythm between the body. I knew that Ji Xiao would not let me go so easily. He bit my neck and kept asking if I was still itchy ?I said I didn't itch, but he didn't believe me, so he had to let me admit that I was lying to him.
Perhaps because of the blessing of emotions, Ji Xiao was a little too excited that night, I weakly grabbed his shoulders, and when I left the city, I found a gap in the attachment of my lips and teeth to say:
I told him that I still have a bookstore, and I arranged for Butler Zhang to guard it there and take good care of it for me when I left.
Ji Xiao chuckled, "Tell me this again? Don't you think you haven't eaten enough?"
Wanting to cry without tears, I beat his shoulder hard, and in the midst of his ferocious rhythm, I came to his ear and whispered softly:
"If the crown prince is not good for the emperor after this, I'm afraid it will change the world... There will be a secret room in the underground of the inner floor of the bookstore. The second crack in the bottom of the secret room is connected to a secret passage. Out of the city...um, ah—”
"Hmph..." Ji Xiao's voice was soft, coming from my ear, "So you know it's for my own good."
He placed me in an inn outside the capital, and at my urging, Ji Xiao finally returned home.
The next day, news came from the other side of the capital that the emperor had bestowed marriages on the crown prince and the offenders of the Ran family.
The reason for the marriage was also extremely absurd. It was said that there was auspicious auspiciousness in the sky when the Ran family was born. On the night when he and the prince first met, many people heard the dragon and the phoenix, and the emperor believed that it was It was a match made in heaven, originally he planned to adopt the descendant of Ran's family as an adopted son, since the crown prince repeatedly asked, why not...
The situation changed all of a sudden. Some people said that the emperor was probably crazy. Could it be that the Ran family incident was actually an unjust, false and wrongly decided case?
However, on the day of the wedding, a big fire broke out in Dunwang Mansion just after Ran’s family was sent out. The majestic Dunwang Mansion is now a scorched ruins.
