Chapter 356 Dancing on the tip of the knife
"So that's it."
The second prince said nonchalantly and touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little resentful in his heart.
"I didn't know that a young woman like the general's wife would be friendly with an elderly woman like the king's wife."
Murong Qing didn't want to waste time with him anymore, so Fu Fu turned around and said, "The second prince is joking, Mrs. Wang is only ten years older than the poor concubine, so why is she already old? The poor concubine has important matters to deal with, so she won't talk to the second prince."
The prince has been chatting, the poor concubine will leave, and the second prince please help yourself."
In fact, she was afraid that if she stayed here for too long, she would attract the attention of the commander of the Royal Forest Army. This matter was tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife. In short, the fewer people saw the imperial concubine in disguise, the better.
After saying that, Murong Qing stopped talking and directed the people to lift up the wooden box and leave.
The imperial concubine in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear lingering around her disappeared. To be honest, for a moment, the imperial concubine felt that Murong Qing was simply her lucky star.
But just relax. Before leaving, the imperial concubine quickly glanced at the second prince. She felt more and more that the son in front of her was very strange.
It was as if she had never known her son, and it was as if this son was pretended by someone else. In short, the change in the second prince's temperament made her feel inexplicable fear.
A more terrifying thought came to the concubine's mind. Would this strange son really kill her without any scruples?
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine suddenly trembled and walked forward with her eyes closed, her staggering steps almost bumping into the nanny beside her.
Mammy gave her a confused look, and in order to leave here as soon as possible, she didn't say anything, she just raised her hand to help her.
The second prince wanted to say something more, but Murong Qing had already left with someone. When she turned around, the shawl she wore danced into a circle in the air. The auspicious clouds embroidered with silver thread on it were lifelike, as if they would disappear from the sky in the next second.
It was like her body was rising.
Watching Murong Qing leave, the second prince's eyes suddenly darkened, and he clenched the hand holding the lantern tightly, as if he wanted to break the handle of the lantern.
He stared at Murong Qing's back closely, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
A servant came forward and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, should we go back to the palace or see the commander of the Royal Forest Army?"
Originally, the second prince had no mission tonight, but he received the news of the fire in the Palace of Rejuvenation. He was so angry that he almost entered the palace overnight. Fortunately, the servant said that he saw the imperial concubine in the palace with his own eyes, and the second prince was relieved.
Although he gave up the idea of entering the palace to see the imperial concubine, the second prince was also sleepy, so by some strange mistake, he took a lantern and led someone out of the house.
It was late at night. After a busy day, the servants had long wanted to get into bed and sleep comfortably. However, due to the second prince's order, they had to brace up and accompany the second prince aimlessly in the dark night.
Wandering.
"What the hell are you seeing? Didn't you see this blind thing? There wasn't even a ghost! What the hell, you little slave!"
Not knowing what the servant said wrongly, the second prince suddenly cursed loudly, and before he finished cursing, he raised his foot and kicked the servant's knee hard.
"Trash, why don't you light up my prince's lantern! Do you want to throw me to death?"
The servants screamed "Oh!" when they were kicked, and the wailing sounds even startled the birds that were resting at night.
Before Murong Qing walked far, she could still hear the second prince's voice. She could clearly hear the second prince's furious insults. The roar just now really startled her.
Murong Qing patted his chest, thinking that the second prince had become more and more violent after losing his life. This was not a good thing.
The imperial concubine was also frightened. When the unlucky servant was kicked and howled, the imperial concubine trembled violently. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to look back.
The nanny next to her saw what she was thinking and pulled her back the moment she was about to turn her head.
"Don't look, let's go!"
Grandma lowered her voice and spoke sternly, and glared at her angrily.
Really, so many people worked so hard to bring her out of the palace, but she still had hope for the second prince, Mammy muttered in her heart.
It was obvious that he had misunderstood the concubine's intention, but it was nothing serious.
Hearing the sound of the second prince beating and scolding his servants, Wuyi and his party all speeded up their pace in unison, and soon they arrived at the back door of the Wang family.
Murong Qing and Mrs. Wang had agreed in advance, so they entered Wang's house without any hindrance.
"The general's wife is here, please come quickly."
Mrs. Wang is only Yan Ru's mother in name, but she has put a lot of thought into Yan Ru's marriage. She can't sleep tonight even more, and she has to prepare the money and other items needed for tomorrow even with the lamp lit.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Wang. I want to see Yan Ru."
Seeing Mrs. Wang who exuded goodwill, Murong Qing did not hesitate to smile.
Mrs. Wang nodded, "Yan Ru and Miss Ruyan are not asleep yet. They are in the west wing. Madam General, please go."
Murong Qing responded and walked towards the west wing with her grandma and maid. Mrs. Wang glanced at the two unfamiliar slaves. She couldn't tell anything about them based on their dressing up, but the more she looked at them, the more something was wrong.
But Mrs. Wang didn't take it to heart. She knew that there were some things that it was better not to know.
In fact, it was out of her selfishness that she recognized Yan Ru and Ruyan as her children. She knew very well about the death of her biological daughter. Over the years, she had only a sickly little son to support her life.
Otherwise, she would have collapsed during countless midnight dreams.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Dianyi have discussed that this sick son may not be able to move around in the capital, so they don't want any glory, as long as the family is in order.
It was originally planned that in five years' time, Wang Dianyi would resign like an emperor, and then take all his wealth to settle in that house in the south, away from the turmoil of the capital city.
As long as he recognizes these two women, at least when they leave the capital in five years, their family fortune may be even richer.
Mrs. Wang knew that her thoughts were despicable, but what could she do? Her son was only seven years old and was suffering from many illnesses. She took her son to see many doctors, and every doctor said that it would be difficult for her son to live past the age of twenty.
.
Mrs. Wang took back her thoughts, turned her eyes to the pile of copper coins and red thread in the room, turned around and returned to her work.
There is a custom in Dashun that when a girl is getting married, her mother's family will tie ten copper coins on the same red thread, hoping that the bride will be perfect, and then distribute these coins to everyone who comes to pick her up.
In fact, it was enough for these servants to dare to do it, but Mrs. Wang insisted on taking action, as if she wanted to fulfill some wish. The servants had no choice but to speed up their actions and try to let Mrs. Wang rest early.
