Chapter 177
Chu Zheng stood on the third floor of Juyuan building and watched the farce. At this time, she looked at the black clothed boy below without expression and watched as he gradually disappeared in the bustling crowd.
Yan Gui…
The name sounds good.
“Miss.” Lu Zhu came over with tea: “Would you like some tea?”
Chu Zheng was holding a teacup and leaned against the railing. She looked at the magnificent buildings in the distance.
Yan Gui.
The sixth prince.
No title.
No mansion.
Now he still lived in the abandoned palace.
His mother concubine was just a maid in the cold palace. The former emperor was once demoted his favorite imperial concubine to the cold palace.
During that time, Yan Gui’s mother took care of that concubine.
The late emperor came to see the imperial concubine. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine was so angry that she didn’t want see the late emperor.
The former emperor then drank in the cold palace. When he was drunk, he mistook Yan Gui’s mother for the concubine.
In order to anger the concubine, Yan Gui’s mother was taken by the emperor and served him as a tool to stimulate the concubine.
After about half a year later, the concubine began to get favored again.
At this time, Yan Gui’s mother was pregnant. The news was known by the imperial concubine and she gave her abortion medicine.
Yan Gui had a big life and was born.
But as soon as he was born, his mother was strangled to death.
If the emperor had not arrived in time, Yan Gui would not have survived.
The former Emperor gave Yan Gui to one of the less favored concubines who also had a hard life and died of illness a few years later.
From then on, Yan Gui has lived alone.
The late emperor attached great importance to love and righteousness of brotherhood, but here in the harem, he was a full-time scum man.
Yan Gui was forgotten by the late emperor.
But he was not forgotten by the concubine, and also not forgotten by the children born from the concubine.
From childhood to adulthood, Yan Gui was bullied by them.
His resistance, his stubbornness, would put him in a more dangerous and embarrassing situation.
So, he stopped fighting.
He resisted with silence.
Gradually, the bullying became much less.
Because of his non-resistance, it’s too boring to bully him.
The seeds of hatred sprouted and took root in Yan Gui’s heart.
He was waiting, waiting for himself to grew up, waiting for his wings, waiting for the day when he has the ability to took revenge.
That concubine was now the empress dowager, the biological mother of the emperor and Rong wang.
The Empress Dowager hated Yan Gui’s mother. When she fell out of favor, she seduced the former Emperor and gave birth to a son.
The current emperor ascended the throne without giving him a title or a mansion. He let him live in the abandoned palace and was regarded as a joke.
Once, Rong wang deliberately pushed him into water.
Because his mother was forced to drink abortion medicine, he was in poor health when he was young.
That time, Yan Gui almost died.
Yan Gui planned to kill Rong wang, but he was betrayed by the people under him.
Although he was not found in the end, the emperor began to suspect.
Later, Rong wang framed Yan Gui again, but Yan Gui had long since joined foreign ministers to assassinate the emperor. King Rong was used and died in that incident.
Of course, Yan Gui didn’t manage to kill the emperor in the end, and Ye Yang cut his arm off.
But Yan Gui ran away and began his complete blackening… No, his road of rebellion.
As a result, the world was in constant war and the people were struggling to live.
Chu Zheng took a sip of tea and took her sight back from the direction of the imperial city.
This Ye Yang…
It should be the original owner’s engagement object, the young master Ye in Lu Zhu’s mouth.
Of course, in fact, the two families did not determine who the engagement object was, but when King Cheng was there, it was defaulted for the eldest lady.
The man could choose who he wants to marry
Why are men treated so well?!
I disagree!
“Miss, what are we doing here?” Lu Zhu asked carefully.
Chu Zheng handed her the cooled tea cup: “Drink tea.”
“……”
The tea in Juyuan building was not famous.
Lu Zhu went to make tea again.
Chu Zheng turned to the other side of the room.
In front of Juyuan building was a busy street, but the back was a pleasant apricot blossom forest and further ahead was a lake.
At this time, apricot blossoms were in full bloom.
Chu Zheng put her fingertips on the railing and tapped. Standing high, she could easily see the scene below.
Ye Yang and Cheng Xiao went in one after another.
Today was the day when the original owner was supposedly looking for Ye Yang, but she saw the picture of Ye Yang and Cheng Xiao hugging each other.
“Miss, the weather is still cold recently. Please be careful.” Lu Zhu took her cloak and put it on Chu Zheng. Looking down at Chu Zheng’s line of sight, she was surprised and said, “Isn’t that Ye gongzi? Why is he with… the second lady?”
Ye Yang and Cheng Xiao whispered to each other.
The two had hugged and then kissed.
Lu Zhu blushed and directly covered her eyes.
Finally, thinking of Chu Zheng, she incoherently comforted her: “Little… Miss, there may be some misunderstanding about this matter…”
“What misunderstanding?” Chu Zheng gathered her cloak.
“Miss… Ye gongzi… It must be the second miss. She loved to rob your things since she was a child. It must be what she said to Ye gongzi!”
“I have nothing to do with Ye Yang.”
“Miss… Don’t you like young master Ye?”
The little girl looked calmly at the people hugging below: “I said that?”
“No, No.” How could such a thing be said, but she could see that the young lady had tacitly agreed.
If it weren’t for the Lord…
“There is no clear object for the engagement. Cheng Xiao or I are possible. Who Ye Yang is with has nothing to do with me, okay?” Chu Zheng’s tone was like the wind in March, chilly and cold.
Lu Zhu opened her lips.
After a long time, she nodded vaguely: “This servant, this servant understands.”
Lu Zhu looked down. Outside the apricot blossom forest, several people were looking inside, sneaking in.
“Miss, look.”
The group seemed to have discovered Ye Yang and Cheng Xiao and walked over curiously.
They appeared abruptly. Cheng Xiao was so frightened that she covered her face. Ye Yang protected her and left quickly.
Chu Zheng handed a silver ticket to Lu Zhu: “Give them this silver ticket, don’t let anyone see it.”
Lu Zhu widened her eyes.
This…
Did the lady find the people below?
Why?
Lu Zhu didn’t dare to ask, and she went down with the silver ticket.
Chu Zheng left the room and several young girls came out of the next room.
As soon as they saw Chu Zheng, one of them began to made a sarcastic sound: “Isn’t this sister Cheng of Cheng wang mansion?”
“Sister Huang, be careful when you talk. People are arrogant. They are not willing to talk to us.” The person next to her reminded.
“Yes, we can’t get into the other’s eyes.”
Several people ridiculed Chu Zheng.
These people were in the memory of the original owner.
About grievances, it was a long time ago. It could be traced back to the time when the former emperor was alive. At that time, the original owner was only seven or eight years old.
At that time, she also attended a palace banquet.
The late emperor asked the children to perform their own talents on a whim.
In the end, the original owner won the first place.
And she got a reward from the late emperor.
