Chapter 396 I Don’t Want to Whitewash the Peace Anymore
In previous years, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, this time was still very lively, with people visiting relatives and friends constantly.
But at this time of year, things have become much calmer. If there is nothing to do, people are not even willing to go out on the streets, and people on the streets are still very strict about checking.
The emperor was furious as the royal family's heirs got into trouble one after another. However, nothing could be found out until now. People were still searching the streets, and no one wanted to be investigated for nothing.
And this investigation is not just about people, but also about carriages.
Today is the day of the banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion. The Qin Mansion's carriage has been prepared early. Qin Yuru and Qin Wanru said goodbye to the old lady together and went to the mansion.
Qin Yuru is dressed extremely beautifully today. She is wearing a light purple palace dress. She is not only outstanding but also eye-catching. Her appearance has always been outstanding. Dressed like this, it immediately makes people feel bright. Qin Wanru is standing by her side. She has exquisite facial features and beautiful appearance, but she is still young and much greener.
Qin Wanru's clothes are mainly light green, a fresh green eight-piece long skirt with only a few red plums at the corners. Such a long skirt should be very elegant and smart, but the material she chose is not very good, and it actually looks like She was a bit sluggish and wooden, and besides, she was not tall enough. Standing next to the tall Qin Yuru, she looked even more like she couldn't hold up her dress.
The clothes of the two people are equally good, but in comparison, Qin Yuru's clothes are red flowers, while Qin Wanru's clothes are green leaves. The green leaves stand beside the red flowers. She is short and young. The first thing people see is that she is dressed delicately. Compared with the outstanding Qin Yuru, even though Qin Wanru is exquisite, it will only make people sigh that she is too young and she doesn't know how to dress up.
It looks like this is just to set off Qin Yuru.
Qin Wanru's master and servants had worked overtime to sew this dress these days.
This time when she went to Prince Cheng's Mansion, she didn't want to stand out at all, but she couldn't comb her forehead hair down and look sloppy like last time.
Qin Yuru was also very satisfied with Qin Wanru's green leaf-like dress. She smiled at Qin Wanru for a rare moment. She even looked at Qin Wanru's dress and nodded: "Second sister's dress is amazing. It’s so beautiful, where did the second sister find such beautiful material?”
As she said this, she smiled secretly in her heart and straightened out a strand of hair that had fallen around her ears, which was quite charming.
"Eldest sister is the one who dresses beautifully, please, eldest sister!" Qin Wanru said lightly.
Seeing that she had no intention of talking about dressing up, Qin Yuru raised her lips mockingly, picked up her dress and supported Mei Xue's hand to get into the carriage. Qin Wanru also supported Yu Jie's hand to get in.
The carriage was very spacious. Qin Yuru came in first and occupied the innermost seat. Mei Xue sat on her right. Qin Wanru came up and sat on the left. There was a window next to it. The curtain was raised and the screen was lowered. Can see the outside view.
Seeing that both ladies were seated, the coachman raised his whip and set off slowly.
It was still early, and I was not in a hurry to go out at this time. I don’t know when sporadic snow started to drift from the sky, and it fell in one or two pieces. It was really beautiful.
They came from Jiangzhou, and they all liked the way the snow fell in the capital.
Qin Yuru also sat at the car window on the right and simply stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake. Unfortunately, the snow was not heavy and the wind was in the wrong direction. She happened to be out of reach. Seeing the snowflakes sliding in front of her, Qin Yuru He looked at Qin Wanru's side unwillingly.
If she stretched out her hand in this direction, she would definitely be able to touch the snowflakes.
Qin Yuru had been feeling aggrieved by being imprisoned recently, and finally had the opportunity to travel. She was secretly glad that Prince Cheng's palace had sent him a strong message, otherwise she would have had no chance.
"Second sister, can we change the window?" Qin Yuru looked at Qin Wanru and said.
"No!" Qin Wanru refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Qin Yuru's face immediately darkened.
"If it's not good, it's not good. You have already chosen it before, and now you want to change it again. Do you think of changing it when you see others doing well?" Qin Wanru said without looking back.
This kind of neglect and contemptuous attitude made Qin Yuru's face change drastically, and anger showed in her eyes, but she endured it. When she went out, Nanny Huang repeatedly told her not to conflict with Qin Wanru again, and warned her that Qin Wanru would look at it She is a smart person, so she has to endure it for a while before slowly stepping on her.
Don't let her be wary!
"Second sister, I just want to see the snow over there. If you don't want to, forget it. Why do you have to say it so harshly? It was my fault in the past. I listened to my mother and didn't treat you as a biological sister. But now my mother Now that she's like this, is it possible that you still hate her?"
Qin Yuru's face looked a little sad, her head lowered slightly, her expression gloomy, as if she really thought of Di's injury and was sad.
"Sister, it's better for us two to stop acting!" Qin Wanru turned his head and glanced at her, his smile becoming colder and colder, "How can a person who can even murder his biological mother care about other people!"
This is the darkest place in Qin Yuru's heart, and it is also the thing she least wants people to know. After being stabbed by Qin Wanru, she could no longer hold back the sadness on her face. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin viciously. Wanru said sharply: "Qin Wanru, what are you talking about?"
"You know whether it's nonsense or not!" Qin Wanru said lightly, "Sister, you are serving Mrs. Di now. Have you seen the resentful look in Mrs. Di's eyes? Do you think that if Mrs. Di gets better, she will definitely want to pinch her? Kill you?"
She said this calmly, with even a gentle smile on her face, but when it fell into Qin Yuru's eyes, her eyes widened in shock and her fingers trembled involuntarily.
Di Shi looked at her very strangely these days, with a depth that she couldn't understand, but the occasional hatred and the unceremonious knocking of the medicine next to her when she was helping her drink medicine were enough. It was obvious that Mr. Di hated her!
Her biological mother hated her, and Qin Yuru couldn't help but panic whenever she thought of this.
Will Di be okay? Wouldn't it be good? What should I do now? What should I do if it’s not good?
These problems have been tormenting Qin Yuru the most recently. She even woke up in the middle of the night. When she woke up, Di stared at her closely with a pair of eyes that were almost like dead fish, without blinking, and then stretched out a pair of eyes. His withered hands fiercely pinched her throat...
"Ah!" Qin Yuru screamed and held her head.
"Miss, Miss! I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Mei Xue couldn't help but stretched out her arms to hug Qin Yuru as she spoke.
Her urgent cry brought Qin Yuru back to her senses. She grabbed Mei Xue's wrist with slightly trembling fingers and pinched it hard, causing Mei Xue to scream in pain.
It took a while for Qin Yuru to recover, and her eyes fell coldly on Qin Wanru's face, but this time she refrained from arguing with Qin Wanru, leaned against the window, and closed her eyes tightly.
Mei Xue sat aside with tears in her eyes while holding her pinched hand.
Yujie looked at Qin Yuru warily, fearing that Qin Yuru would be detrimental to Qin Wanru, but Qin Wanru himself didn't care and continued to look out the window.
In fact, she and Qin Yuru had already broken up with each other, and even the incident on the street was not over yet. But now everyone is focusing on the assassination of King Cheng, but Qin Yuru always likes to act like a sister in front of others. The look of Xianghe is really annoying.
Not long after the fight in the street, he and Qin Yuru were affectionate and affectionate again. Even though some people think that he is generous, more people may think that he is cowardly!
There should also be people coming to the Xingguo Guild Hall today! If there is such an opportunity for Qin Yuru to come out, Mrs. Xingguo will not let it go.
But since today is King Cheng's concubine selection banquet, and no elders have been invited, Mrs. Xingguo can't come even if she wants to. There is a chance, but she can't come. Even if she likes Qin Yuru, she has no chance, so she will definitely let Xingguo go. Others in the government looked for opportunities to contact Qin Yuru.
The eldest lady in Duke Xingguo's palace has a distinguished status, so naturally she would not do such a thing, and would not touch her, so the most likely person should be the concubine. A hint of depth flashed in her eyes, today's Prince Cheng's palace should It will be very lively, but you have to be careful every step of the way!
For this, I was already prepared for this. I pulled up my clothes and turned my attention to the window.
"Miss, what's going on outside?" Seeing that Qin Yuru hadn't moved, Yu Jie stuck her head to the window and helped Qin Wanru look out the window.
The carriage was driving on the street at this time. Although there were a lot of people there, it was completely different from the crowds in the past and it was much deserted.
Coupled with the fact that it was still snowing outside, it made people feel more and more like people on the whole street were shivering.
The scenery outside the window seemed familiar. Looking at the familiar scenery, Yujie couldn't help but let out a low "Huh", but immediately stopped talking and turned her head to look at Qin Yuru. She saw that she was still leaning against the window with her eyes closed. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and gently pulled Qin Wanru's sleeve.
Qin Wanru nodded. She had long seen that this road was heading towards Dieyi Zhai. She was about to arrive at Dieyi Zhai. Things had been so busy recently that she didn't have time to go out to see Dong. Auntie, it’s just that on New Year’s Eve, I asked Qingyue to prepare a gift to send over.
She had to find time to find out what Aunt Dong told her last time.
Thinking this in my mind, I saw the door of Dieyi Zhai. The people at the door were pretty good. There were women with gorgeous clothes coming and going. However, it was a little worse than the previous few days. It should be an assassination attempt in Jingzhong. The incident also caused Dieyi Zhai's business to decrease a bit.
But the next moment, Qin Wanru's eyes widened suddenly. She saw Aunt Dong, not in the store, but in an alley outside the store, with a man. She only saw the man's back. The two seemed to be talking to each other. He was looking at something, and then the carriage flashed past, and it felt a bit familiar inexplicably.
Who is that?
