Chapter 4: Killing Heart

Chen Yuntang withdrew his gaze and brought agarwood into the bedroom of the old lady in the inner room.

Beside the old lady's bed was the first-class maid He Qin and He Ya from Fushou Hall serving him.

He Qin is two years older than He Ya. He is the most useful girl around the old lady. He is also steady. Seeing that the prince is coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him in person.

He Qin was half old and plain green, and the Yongxing Hou Mansion had just held a funeral. She didn't wear any jewelry on her head, and her black hair was fixed with only a peach wood hairpin.

My eyes were still a little red. I was probably crying with the old lady in the inner room.

"Criminal, you are here, come in quickly, the old lady has been talking about you early in the morning!"

Chen Yuntang nodded to He Qin, then pulled Chenxiang into the inner room.

He Qin was slightly stunned when she watched the prince pulling the fifth lady.

The little maid slammed the felt curtain in the inner room and let Chen Yuntang in.

As soon as the felt curtain was lifted, a smell of medicine rushed out.

After turning the double-sided embroidered screen of the four seasons, I saw a haggard old lady with gray hair lying halfway at the head of the bed.

She had a pale face with a stone-green blue pendant on her forehead, and her face was blue and black. When she heard the movement, she could barely cheer up and looked up. Her turbid eyes finally had a ray of light when she saw Chen Yuntang.

"Atang, come to my grandmother's place soon."

Although this was the first time Chen Yuntang faced the old lady, she could feel that the old woman, who was older than her seventies, really loved her, the "large-grandson".

Faced with such deep family affection, Chen Yuntang was a little unnatural. She swallowed her saliva before calming down and pulled Chenxiang to the old woman's bed.

Madam Ge, who was beside him, personally brought the brocade stool to the bed.

Chen Yuntang sat down beside the old lady's bed with her robe, "Grandma, you must pay attention to your health."

Mrs. Shen’s body was not strong at first. When Mrs. Yongxing went there, the old lady was stimulated. Only now can she finally lie half-lying on the bed and cheer up and say a few words to her "grandson".

The old lady sighed and pulled Chen Yuntang's thin and slender fingers. She looked at the "grandson" in front of her, and came from grief and patted Chen Yuntang's cold hand, "What's the matter with me, an old guy? I'm dead and clean. But Atang has to take care of her own body. Now that your father has gone, our entire marquis' mansion can only rely on you! You can't try your best to not even care about your own body as before."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the fifth lady beside her said crisply: "Grandma, don't worry about my elder brother's body. Sister Xiang will stew medicine and soup for my elder brother."

The little girl's childish words instantly dispelled the depressed and sad atmosphere in the bedroom.

The old lady then noticed that Chen Yuntang also brought the fifth lady agarwood.

The little girl looks a bit like her father, Yongxing Hou, but she is a concubine. Aunt Han is a cowardly person and her sisters are not close to her. She relies on the care of her all on the old lady. However, the old lady's energy is limited, so she has not had a good life in Yongxing Hou's Mansion.

"The fifth girl is here too. Come to my grandmother and ask her to have a good look."

Chen Yuntang pulled the agarwood to the old lady.

The old lady was in a bad mood, so she asked everyone in the house to go out after a while, leaving only her confidant Madam Ge and Shen Yuntang.

There was no outsider in the room, so the old lady held Chen Yuntang's hand and stopped spreading.

My eyes, which were already red, couldn't help but burst into tears again, "Atang, it's all my fault and your grandfather. If we hadn't only considered the Marquis' Mansion back then, we wouldn't have asked you to get to this point today. It's your grandfather and I who are sorry for you. If you want to blame us, blame us."

Chen Yuntang didn't expect that the old lady would tell her this.

She shook her head, and the sorry Chen Yuntang disappeared a few days ago, not her.

When the old lady saw the "grandson" lowering her head slightly, she felt even more uncomfortable. She continued with a hoarse voice: "Your grandfather and I are old. Over the years, we have been open-minded. No matter what a great person they are, they are not a piece of loess until the end of their lives. So what if there are descendants? So what if there are descendants? If the king is looking for a way out, he will implicate the nine tribes by accident. By then, what's the use of our Shen family even if the branches are lush."

"Your grandfather and I are not reluctant to give up this title. We have been mostly people who have been in the loess. We are not willing to die. We just don't want to give up your sisters. If the daughter's family is not protected, it will be like duckweed. If our Marquis's Mansion collapses, what should your sisters?"

Chen Yuntang listened to the old lady's words in silence. She lowered her head slightly to cover up the most real emotions in her eyes. Although she did not completely agree with what the old lady said, she could not show it at this time.

Chen Yuntang's silence made the old lady agree that she agreed with her words.

She patted Chen Yuntang's hand, "Atang, you've been miserable. After two years, the situation in the court will stabilize. Your grandfather and I will find a way to ask you to retreat."

After a grandparents and grandchildren had a "heart-to-heart talk", Chen Yuntang suddenly said bluntly: "Grandmother, let's transfer Mama Zhao around her away."

The old lady was slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, she turned around and ordered Madam Ge who was standing beside her, "Xuelan, leave this matter to you."

Seeing that the old lady was in poor spirits, Chen Yuntang told her to take a good rest and left.

The old marquis was still in poor health and was placed in the bedroom on the other side of Fushou Hall. He was still sleeping. After Chen Yuntang went to see it, he returned to Xiaofengju.

When Chen Yuntang left Fushou Hall, the old lady did not rest immediately, but called Madam Ge to her side and talked.

"How did Madam Zhao? Why did she offend the prince?"

Madam Zhao has been raised from a young girl and has been with the old lady for decades. After so many years of love, Madam Ge is not good at talking bad about her when she is by her side. At this time, the old lady asked in person, and she only told all the wrong things about Madam Zhao on weekdays.

The old lady glared, "There is such a thing? Why didn't I know before?"

Madam Ge sighed, "You are in poor health, I dare not bother you with these trivial matters."

Madam Zhao is also qualified to be with the old lady. If Chen Yuntang hadn't spoken personally, Madam Ge wouldn't have been tortured by the old lady.

The old lady glanced at Madam Ge, and her mind turned around. She thought of this. She did not blame Madam Ge for hiding it, but instead felt a little relieved.

"Xuelan, for some reason, I think Atang is much more humane today than before. It's all my fault for pushing her to this point."

Madam Ge comforted her while tucking the quilt for the old lady: "I guess it is because our marquis protecting the prince in heaven that the prince has made such changes. Madam, good fortune is the place where misfortune is hindered, and misfortune is the place where good fortune is."

"You will say good things." The old lady kicked Madam Ge's eyes, but her heart felt much more comfortable than before.

Here, the old lady of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion seemed to have seen hope, but this is not the case with Prince Rui, which is not far away.

His Highness, who held the power, had a heavy heart and weight, his face was always dark after returning from the "dirty" Yongxing Marquis' Mansion. The entire Rui Prince's Mansion seemed to be in a continuous rain.

The counselors who were in and out were careful, for fear that someone would accidentally get in the eyes of His Highness.

His Highness, King Rui, was reviewing the memorial in the magnificent study of the royal palace.

Somehow, the official documents that were able to be processed in half a day in the past were particularly unhappy today.

These memorials talk about floods in the east or droughts in the west, or bandits in the south, and there would be nothing good.

The jade seal that is usually used for use on a large table is now a bit more disgusting.

Finally, the slender fingers of His Highness the Regent moved slightly, and the red pen hit the sandalwood table, making a crisp "click" sound, which shocked Eunuch Wei, who was guarding the side.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Wei heard His Highness the Regent's obvious impatient voice sound, "Go and call Chen Sheng."

Staff Chen Sheng put his hands in his wide sleeves and walked into the royal palace's large study with Eunuch Wei.

After entering the study, Chen Sheng took out his hands from his sleeves.

Only then did people see clearly that the tall and thin man who was standing up and down in his left hand was broken at the same wrist!

The man's back was straight, his lips were smiling, his steps were leisurely, his eyes were clear, as if he never minded his disabled left hand.

He came to the Hall of the Regent, bent down slightly to salute, "Your Highness is recruiting people at this time, what's wrong?"

"Stop, sit down!"

The gloomy Regent's words and simple words revealed the close relationship with the disabled man in front of him.

Chen Sheng is the only son of the regent Qin Yin’s enlightenment teacher. He is six years older than him. The two grew up together, so their relationship is extraordinary.

Although the official of Dayan has the rules of being a good official, His Highness Rui has reached his current status. With Chen Sheng’s relationship with him, it is not easy to get a single official position? Not to mention just an official position, even a third-rank official, as long as Chen Sheng is willing, His Highness Rui may be able to give it to him. However, Chen Sheng is unruly and does not like to be bound, so he stays with his former brothers and is just a little counselor.

Chen Sheng smiled and found a seat on the side. His Highness the Regent also walked out from the desk and sat next to Chen Sheng.

Seeing the gloomy face of His Highness the Regent, Chen Sheng raised his lips slightly, "What are your troubles? If you don't mind, you can say that you will listen to the grass people, who are willing to help you."

The Regent's long and narrow phoenix eyes fell on Chen Sheng's face, and a bloodthirsty light flashed through his eyes.

"Yongxing Hou Mansion."

As soon as the four words were spoken, Chen Sheng already understood what His Highness meant.

His face, which was originally calm and composed, suddenly became serious.

"Your Highness thinks twice. Now that the Marquis of Yongxing has passed away, why should you be so anxious? Although the Marquis of Yongxing is weak now, there are still those old guys watching. You have endured it before, but why have you lost your patience at this time? Besides, the young prince of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis is only seventeen now. Although he is a little talented, he is just a young bird with no hair. Instead of letting those old guys occupy the position of the Censorate, it is better to give it to him, and the Marquis of Yongxing has the imperial edict of Emperor Wen..."

His Highness, who has always been able to listen to Chen Sheng's words, seemed to have been determined this time. He interrupted Chen Sheng, his tone suddenly cold, like a demon crawling out of hell, "Let Qin Chou go."

Chen Sheng:...

The air was silent for a moment, and Chen Sheng finally compromised.

"Caomin will do it now."

Chen Sheng, who had a delicate heart, came out of the royal palace and looked at the gloomy sky. This time he could not understand what His Highness meant.

Even if Your Highness is anxious to take action this time, he can use the powerful killing weapon beside him like a weak boy?

You must know that Qin Chou is the most powerful secret guard around His Highness Rui King. That kid's methods are terrifying to think about.
