Chapter 72, Which family's little prince?
Duan Wang Feng Lanxiu took the incense handed to him by the chamberlain, bowed respectfully to An's soul in the middle, stepped forward, inserted the incense into the incense burner in the middle, and then stepped back.
"I have met His Highness Prince Duan." Yu Ruiwen led the elders of the Yu clan to come forward and salute.
"You're welcome, Marquis Xuanping." Feng Lanxiu said gently, his eyes swept across the mourning hall, and the face of Yu Lanxue, who was crying softly in the hall, passed silently.
When he came in just now, he saw Yu Lanxue. The beautiful Yu Lanxue was dressed in plain clothes. When he was offering sacrifices, he cried pitifully and was heartbroken. He held the handkerchief and pressed his chest lightly, becoming more and more worried.
It makes people feel weak and timid, and the pear blossoms are covered with rain.
Her eyes fell sadly on it, looking at the two souls on the altar. Tears rolled down her fair cheeks, like broken pearls, which was very pitiful.
"Your Majesty, please come to the flower hall to talk." Yu Ruiwen said, pointing outwards. This is indeed not the place to talk.
Feng Lanxiu nodded and followed Yu Ruiwen to the flower hall.
When the guests and hosts were seated inside, Feng Lanxiu took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup in his hand, and sighed: "Such a big thing happened between Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou and Lord Lanxuan County, and it is at this time.
, the empress was very sad and sent Xiao Wang here to pay homage. Marquis Zhengyuan had a great life, but he didn’t expect that only the prince is left now."
"It is indeed a human tragedy. Who would have thought that something like this would happen in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Yu Ruiwen looked at Yu Zhongyang who was sitting aside and said.
Yu Zhongyang turned his head and wiped the marks at the corners of his eyes with his robe, and cried in a sad voice: "Brother is loyal to the country, and now...with such an appearance, even if I go underground in the future, it will be difficult for me to explain to eldest brother. This matter...is all mine."
It's my fault that I didn't tell my sister-in-law to pay more attention to the candles. As we were getting married, some servants at Lan Xuan's place asked for a lot of candles."
How could he, an uncle, repeatedly warn Madam Zhengyuanhou about such things? This only shows that Madam Zhengyuanhou was not careful.
For Lanxuan County Lord's wedding, the newlyweds should have prepared a lot of red candles. No one expected that it would cause such a big disaster. Now that I think about it, I can only say that Mrs. Zhengyuanhou was too careless.
Lamented that the beauty of Lanxuan County is ill-fated.
"I can't blame Master Yu for this. It can only be said that the beauty is ill-fated." Feng Lanxiu sighed, "The Queen ordered me to bring some sacrificial gifts, specially gifted to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. I must give Mrs. Zhengyuan great glory.
Burial is."
Yu Zhongyang wiped away his tears, stood up and kowtowed to Feng Lanxiu to thank him.
"Master Yu, you don't have to be polite. When Mrs. Zhengyuanhou was here, she was also one of the most famous ladies in the capital. Something happened in the Anguo Palace. The emperor did not blame Mrs. Zhengyuanhou. It was also for the sake of Marquis Zhengyuan, but he didn't expect it.
...can actually..." Feng Lanxiu shook his head again when he said this, looking at it with emotion.
"What's going on at Duke An's residence?" Yu Zhongyang seemed to have thought of something, and raised his head with difficulty to look at Feng Lanxiu, his eyes horrified, his lips trembling twice, and the words almost rushed out of his mouth, "Is it possible that sister-in-law is...she...
...Is it because of the affairs of Duke Anguo?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately knew that he had made a mistake and reached out to cover his mouth.
But the words had already been spoken, and everyone present heard it. Several clan elders also reacted at this time, with equally horrified eyes. You looked at me, I looked at you, and for a moment I didn’t know what to say.
.
Finally, everyone lowered their heads and felt that their vests were wet with sweat. Is this really what they suspected? This is really shocking.
But some things that couldn't be explained before suddenly became clearer because of this explanation.
"Why, is there something fishy about Zhengyuan Hou's anger?" Feng Lanxiu glanced at everyone present and asked gently. As the emperor's eldest prince, Prince Duan's character is the most praised by his ministers.
He is the most benevolent in everything he does, and even if he is not the Queen's legitimate son, he is still the most favored by everyone.
"Wei Chen actually doesn't know, I just feel strange. In the past, my sister-in-law has always been very cautious, and such negligence has never happened. Wei Chen only sighed, Xuan'er is pitiful, the flesh and blood left by my eldest brother, and now only the prince is left.
My eldest brother is pitiful, even if he is under the Nine Springs, his heart is still uneasy."
Yu Zhongyang started sobbing again, his eyes were red and he was very sad.
Everyone's expressions became more and more subtle.
"Before...what accident happened in the house?" Feng Lanxiu knew there was something going on as soon as he heard this. After thinking about it, he continued to ask.
The Empress specifically told him to ask more about the affairs of Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion, saying that the Emperor's Office would also investigate. Although Mrs. Marquis Zhengyuan was only a woman, she was the widow of Marquis Zhengyuan, so she must be let go.
People value.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang is wise, something did indeed happen. Previously... An accident occurred in Anguo Palace. When the news came, my sister-in-law fainted on the spot, and then she cried for two days without eating or drinking. The night before, she was almost a little bit
…something happened, but luckily the mother-in-law who was guarding her woke up, otherwise something would have happened to my sister-in-law at that time.”
Yu Zhongyang lowered his head and said in a sad voice: "It's all because of my fault. It's all because of my fault. It's all because of my failure to protect my sister-in-law for my elder brother. My sister-in-law...she...is all because of my fault!"
Yu Zhongyang cried so hard that he beat his chest and took everything on him. People couldn't help but be moved. They felt that the second master of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was indeed as rumored by outsiders. He respected and listened to his eldest brother very much.
If so, even if the eldest brother is gone, he will still wholeheartedly take care of the eldest brother and his family.
The elders of the Yu clan raised their heads in shock one by one, unable to remain calm anymore. What Yu Zhongyang meant was that Mrs. An of the Marquis of Zhengyuan had committed suicide because something had happened to An Guogong's palace.
Unable to bear it, he committed suicide regardless of his children?
Is it possible that the death of Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou was not an accident, but a conscious self-immolation?
"Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou actually did such a thing? I will naturally report it to the Queen after I return." Feng Lanxiu understood what he said and was surprised. His handsome eyebrows wrinkled and he said softly.
"I know, I will check it myself first and then report it to the prince." Yu Zhongyang said while wiping his tears.
"That's very good!" Feng Lan Xiu said, scanning the people present, and suddenly saw Chu Zihan in the crowd, his expression became gentler, "Xin Kang Bo Prince."
Chu Zihan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Feng Lanxiu.
"I believe in the benevolence and righteousness of Prince Kangbo, which is rare in the world. Anyone who knows Junquan of Lanxuan County will also admire the faithfulness of Prince Kangbo." Feng Lanxiu said gently, his eyes falling on Chu Zihan with some appreciation.
"What happened to Lord Lanxuan was also because of the marriage between Wei Chen and the Lord. Now that she is no longer here, Wei Chen cannot live up to her trust, even if... even if that woman is not worthy, for County Lord Lanxuan's sake,
I will also...also treat that woman favorably."
Chu Zihan said with a serious face.
"Your Majesty is really kind and righteous. It's hard to find a man as kind and righteous as Your Majesty in this world." Feng Lanxiu sighed and stretched out his hand to help him.
Chu Zihan stood up straight, the excitement in his eyes not receding: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. All of this is what I should do. I have been engaged to the county king for several years, and I have long considered the county king as my only wife. If it weren't for the county king, I would be like this now."
If something goes wrong, Weichen...how can Weichen let other women enter Weichen's home!"
What he said was righteous. Even if Yu Lanyan was not decent, he would treat Yu Lanyan favorably for Yu Lanxuan's sake. Even if Yu Lanyan was in dire straits, he would still keep his love for Yu Lanxuan and protect Yu Lanyan.
These words were so kind and righteous that Yu Ruiwen curled his lips sarcastically, leaned back, and lowered his eyes, just treating it as a joke, since he didn't believe it anyway.
The two have never been married, and the Lord of Lanxuan County has been observing filial piety in the past three years. Even if the two are an unmarried couple, I am afraid they have not met much. At most, they can send some gifts to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. As for other things, they can still get married.
What? Just like that, Chu Zihan really obeyed Yu Lanxuan’s words?
We only got engaged three years ago. We haven't seen each other for three years. Maybe it's not as good as Chu Zihan's time to see Yu Lanyan. Why is there such a close relationship? Yu Ruiwen remembered that one time when he went to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion to do business, he saw the garden.
Inside, Chu Zihan and Yu Lanyan were chatting and laughing, talking while admiring the scenery in the pavilion.
At that time, he felt that there was no etiquette.
One is the cousin's husband, and the other is the fiancée's girl. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel bored.
"The prince is indeed an extraordinary man, rare in the world!" Feng Lanxiu sighed again, flicking his fingers lightly on the corner of the table, and was about to speak, but was rudely interrupted by a clear voice.
"Why is he not an ordinary man? It is rare in the world. What kind of great man do I want to see? He actually let a woman who lost her virginity come in."
A lazy voice came from outside the door. Everyone looked up and saw a young man leaning in a wheelchair. He was dressed in a plain white brocade robe. The slanted neckline revealed the lavender skirt underneath. His posture was leisurely and lazy, and his appearance was exquisite but
There is no trace of femininity or powdery air, but instead, there is a feeling of a young man like jade.
When his long eyelashes fell slightly, he felt a bit wistful. There was only a slight smile on the corner of his lips, which looked a bit playful. In such weather, he wore a plain white cloak more than others.
Chu Zihan didn't recognize the man in front of him. After looking up and down, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was a sinister look in his eyes. He didn't know which family's young prince he was. He had just arrived in the capital. He actually dared to mock himself in front of King Duan. He took two steps forward.
, stopped the person and said: "What a shame, His Royal Highness Duan Wang is here!"
"Prince Duan is here, so this prince can't come?" Feng Yu said, raising his long eyelashes and a pair of handsome eyes with starlight like broken pupils, looking extremely good at speaking.
Feng Lanxiu's face in the hall darkened, and he exhaled a breath of turbidity. He had tried his best to hide away, but Feng Yu's ghost persisted and even chased him to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
"Which family are you the heir apparent to? Didn't you see His Royal Highness Duan Wang here?" Chu Zihan looked Feng Yu up and down again to make sure that he was really not the noble man he knew. He frowned and said again
, stretched out his hand and pointed to one side, "If you want to pay homage to Madam Zhengyuan Hou, that place is right, but this place is not suitable."
He behaved quite well. Except for his irritable words at the beginning, Chu Zihan felt that he had done nothing wrong. If the previous visitor's words had not conveyed contempt for him, he would not have taken the initiative to step forward.
