Chapter 1197

?

Zhong Wanting is under house arrest in Baihuayuan, completely isolated from the outside world. Although food and clothing were not treated harshly to her, she couldn't sleep at night because she didn't know what to eat. Even if he managed to fall asleep, he still had nightmares. In just over half a month, Zhong Wanting was tossed to the point of being out of shape.

A woman opened the door and said to Zhong Wanting, who looked haggard and emaciated, "Miss Zhong, come out!"

Zhong Wanting was terrified, and took off the twisted gold bracelet on her wrist as quickly as possible and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

Seeing that the mother-in-law took the bracelet, Zhong Wanting felt a little relieved. Some time ago, she wanted to inquire about outside news, so she stuffed the bracelets into the food delivery servants, but these people confiscated them: "Mom, where are you taking me?" Most of the daughters of criminal ministers were sent to the Jiaofang. She is the fiancee of the third prince, even if she can't marry the third prince, she probably won't go to Jiaofang.

The mother-in-law took the bracelet and stuffed it into her sleeve, and said, "It's the people from the Korean government who came to pick you up." Since the people from the Korean government came to pick you up, you won't be offended if you think about it. If not, she wouldn't dare to accept the bracelet.

It was my aunt who sent someone to pick me up instead of sending me to prison. So, this storm is over.

After leaving Baihuayuan, Zhong Wanting got into the carriage parked outside. As soon as the curtain was lifted, I saw the lotus sitting inside.

Holding Hehua's hand, Zhong Wanting asked eagerly: "Sister Hehua, what happened? How are grandfather and father doing now?"

Tears flashed in the lotus eyes.

Zhong Wanting's heart sank: "How are my grandfather and my father? Tell me quickly?"

He Hua wiped away her tears and said, "It's a serious crime of conspiracy."

Zhong Wanting felt that she had fallen into the abyss: "Impossible, how could grandfather conspire against him? Grandfather must have been framed?"

Lotus burst into tears: "Grandma asked the Duke, and the Duke said that our old man has been working for the previous dynasty." Her father and brother are also dead. Lotus these days is also very worried.

"Impossible. If my grandfather is a traitor, how could the government let you pick me up?" Therefore, his grandfather must have been slandered.

He Hua choked with sobs and said, "It was the empress who sent a message to the eldest grandma, asking us to come to Baihuayuan to pick you up."

Zhong Wanting collapsed on the carriage, unable to speak a word. After being a traitor, even if her life is taken away, her end will be miserable.

When Zhong Wanting saw Zhong Minxiu who was lying pale on the bed, she shed tears before saying anything.

Zhong Minxiu clasped her hands tightly and said, "Don't cry." Even crying won't solve the problem.

Zhong Wanting couldn't stop crying: "Auntie, the lotus said that my grandfather conspired against me. Auntie, how could my grandfather conspire against me. Auntie, the Zhong family must have been framed."

"No, the evidence is conclusive. Father, he is loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, and has always wanted to turn against the Ming Dynasty and restore the Zhou Dynasty." This was what Han Jianming told her himself, and there should be no falsehood.

Zhong Wanting's face was ashamed: "Auntie, isn't the Zhong family going to kill all the family members?" This is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan.

Zhong Minxiu shook her head and said: "The emperor and the empress are kind, and the family members and underage children are exiled in Lingnan." The only thing that is fortunate is that her aunt has passed away. Otherwise, there will be no good end. But even so, Zhong Minxiu was still agitated after suffering such a blow.

Seeing that Zhong Wanting was still crying, Zhong Minxiu said sharply: "Now is not the time to cry. You must cheer up, otherwise your grandmother and the others will really have no hope."

Zhong Wanting cried very sadly: "Auntie, what can I do?" Now she can't protect herself.

He Hua couldn't help but interjected: "As long as you marry the third prince, the old lady, they will be saved."

"What happened to the Zhong family, it is impossible for the third prince to marry me again." This is not an ordinary crime, but a serious crime of treason. How could the empress let the third prince marry a rebellious minister like herself.

Zhong Minxiu gave a wry smile, and said to Zhong Wanting: "The Empress has already ordered me to choose a marriage for you.

"This shows that the marriage between Zhong Wanting and the third prince is null and void.

Zhong Wanting lowered her head, which was expected by her. The empress didn't like her in the first place, and now that something happened to the Zhong family, the relationship would definitely be ruined, which was completely within her expectation.

Thinking of the scene in Kunning Palace, Zhong Wanting suddenly raised her head: "Auntie, is it possible that the empress did not like me, so she framed the Zhong family?"

The more she thought about it, the more Zhong Wanting felt that her guess was correct: "It must be like this. The Empress must hate me, and that's why she blamed the Zhong family. Auntie, I was the one who harmed the Zhong family, and I was the one who harmed the Zhong family."

Zhong Minxiu raised her hand and gave Zhong Wanting a slap, five fingers clearly appeared on Zhong Wanting's fair face: "What nonsense are you talking about here?"

Zhong Wanting didn't think she was talking nonsense. When people are in despair, many thoughts will be extreme: "Auntie, the empress sees that I don't care about the third prince, and she hates me very much. Last time she announced me into the palace, her eyes were full of disgust when she saw me."

Before he could speak, Zhong Minxiu felt his stomach rolling violently. Suppressing his anger, Zhong Minxiu rubbed his stomach and said, "If the Empress hates you, just find any reason to ruin the relationship. Even if you care about your reputation, it's easy for you to die quietly. There's no need to go to great lengths to slander the Zhong family for treason, conspiracy The crime of rebellion is not something you talk about casually, there must be conclusive evidence." If you don't like it, you can say that the other party conspired to conspire against the family and exterminate the family, and the other ministers would be chilled if they knew it. How could such a stupid thing be done by someone as smart as a queen!

After hearing this, Zhong Wanting stopped crying, and said in a bewildered way: "Auntie, what should we do now?"

"You stay in the Duke's mansion first, and I will see you after I give birth to the child." Not to mention that the aunt's kindness to her is as great as a mountain, but only to say that the queen empress ordered her to dare not neglect.

Zhong Wanting cried and said, "Auntie, what about my grandmother and my mother?" Grandfather and the others are capital crimes, and they can't be saved even if they want to. But grandmother, mother, and her two younger brothers were going to be exiled. If there is no one to follow the Buddha on the way, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach Lingnan.

Zhong Minxiu leaned on the bed and said: "I have already sent people to Jiangnan." As for whether she can catch up, that is not up to her to decide.

Zhong Minxiu looked at Lotus, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying: "During this time, take good care of the eldest girl." She was also sad about the accident in the Zhong family, but it didn't help. But He Hua, as her big maid, can't control her emotions, she burst into tears when mentioning the Zhong family. Usually it's fine, but now she is pregnant, and it is inevitable that she will be affected when she always sees lotus crying. So, she doesn't want to see lotus now.

Lotus didn't think much, nodded and said: "Okay."

The maid Xueli covered Zhong Minxiu with a quilt, and said, "Grandma, the imperial doctor told you to rest well and avoid getting hurt. Otherwise, it will be bad for the child." Xueli is also a dowry maid, but she was second class before. Not long ago, he was promoted to first class.

Sydney was bought, not born at home. Unlike Lotus, all relatives are in Zhongfu. So she was also worried about an accident in the Zhong family, but she was only worried about Zhong Minxiu. If something goes wrong with Zhong Minxiu, they will become duckweeds, and they may be randomly assigned by then.

Zhong Minxiu sighed: "I thought she was smart before, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid." After the imperial edict of marriage came down, Zhong Minxiu was afraid that Zhong Wanting would not be able to turn around, so she walked over with her big belly. Seeing Zhong Wanting's expression of unwillingness at that time, she even explained the reason.

Now it seems that Zhong Wanting didn't listen to her persuasion at all. Otherwise, how could the Empress hate her? With the empress' shrewdness, she might have seen through that her thoughts were not on the third prince. If you don't take it easy after getting engaged, you're just courting death.

Sydney comforted: "Grandma, you must take care of yourself. The old lady and the lady are relying on you!" Among the married girls of the Zhong family, Zhong Minxiu is not the best married girl, but the Han family's The elders are definitely the most generous. Something happened to Zhong's family, Mrs. Han not only didn't get angry and hated her grandma, but instead comforted her all the time, and came to visit her grandma every day. It was the Duke of the State, and when he knew that grandma had sent someone to Jiangnan, he even arranged for two guards to follow him. These things are enough to show that the affairs of the Zhong family will not affect the status of the eldest grandma in the Han family.

Zhong Minxiu nodded.

Yuxi doesn't care about Zhong Wanting. Asking Zhong Minxiu to pick her up has already shown mercy. According to the law, she will also be exiled to Lingnan. But with Zhong Wanting's appearance, she would definitely not be able to reach Lingnan if she was really exiled. Although she couldn't be her daughter-in-law, Yuxi didn't want her to be abused this time around, so she asked Zhong Minxiu to take her back and marry her.

After reading the information sent by the Liaodong intelligence personnel, Yuxi showed worry, and said to Yunqing: "The king of Donghu killed King Zuoxian, and other opponents were also eliminated overnight by him." King Zuoxian of Donghu He was born to the former queen of Donghu, and also the half-brother of King Donghu. It's just that Donghu people don't pay attention to inheritance like the Central Plains, they respect the strong. When King Zuoxian was fighting for the throne, he was slightly inferior and fell into a disadvantage. But he didn't give up, he always wanted to replace King Donghu.

Yun Qing said: "Tongcheng, there will be another war." Beiyao's soldiers and horses are also fierce, but because the number of Beiyao people is small, he can destroy them. As for the Donghu people, their population is five times that of the Beiyao people. Yan Wushuang paid a huge price for keeping the Donghu Army outside Tongcheng these years.

Yuxi said worriedly: "What I'm worried about now is that Yan Wushuang will form an alliance with the Donghu people." They only have more than 10,000 cavalry, which is not enough for the Donghu army.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "No, the Yan family has guarded Liaodong for generations, and has a bloody feud with the Donghu people. Even Yan Wushuang's father died at the hands of the Donghu people. The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. An alliance. Otherwise, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the world."

Yuxi nodded.
