Chapter 199

199 where to go

"The empress Phoenix drives again, and the third childe doesn't stop!" a sharp voice suddenly remembered. Du zapeng was surprised. Is Yan Ru the empress coming? He hurriedly stood up and arranged his clothes. At the same time, he put Xu Mingzhu's clothes on her: "the queen asked, you know what to say. It doesn't matter if I'm a man. As an unmarried girl, you should consider your reputation."

Xu Mingzhu bit her lower lip, trembled and wrapped her clothes tighter, as if this could stop the fear in her heart.

Yan Ru's slender and graceful figure appeared in front of the public. It was still a beautiful but not enchanting figure. The silk shoes inlaid with the night pearl of the East China Sea were more rigorous and polite step by step. Even the swing range of the skirt seemed to be calculated. She came down to Xu Mingzhu with the help of a close maid of honor and stood still. She looked at her with a slight surprise in her eyes: "what is Princess Mingzhu doing?"

Xu Mingzhu was pale and tearful in her big black eyes, but she bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Du zapeng on one side smiled and said, "if you go back to your mother, the princess and I met occasionally by the rockery just now, so we said a few words and just ran into her... Princess, she must have been shocked by her majesty..."

Yan Ruhuang showed a meaningful look behind him. He turned his head and looked at Xu Mingzhu with a smile: "really?"

Xu Mingzhu was silent, and Du zapeng's words echoed in her ears just now, just because she was a woman and a weak party. For her boudoir name, she could only be silent in front of the queen?

All of them dare to bully her now, because they see through the fact that the Regent's house has turned its back on her. She, the Pearl Princess, is nothing now.

Empress Yan Ru seems to believe Du zapeng's nonsense. She is standing gracefully by the lake, listening to Du zapeng's flattering words with great interest, but she glances at Xu Mingzhu. Xu Mingzhu couldn't help it any longer. She quietly picked up a stone on the ground and walked behind the damn man.

Du zapeng was speechless and didn't notice the woman with light steps like a cat behind him. He was laughing and talking to Queen Yan Ru about his family's admiration for the queen, but he suddenly "ah" and held his head tightly. Xu Mingzhu held up the stone and was hitting Du zapeng on the head. He soon saw blood.

Du zapeng touched the wound and rushed to the ground in anger. He slapped Xu Mingzhu on her face and scolded: "bitch, you dare to fight me! Don't look at your identity now. You still think you are the princess of the Regent's house?"

His words stimulated Xu Mingzhu. The stone in Xu Mingzhu's hand hit Du zapeng's head again. This time, he missed his accuracy and only rubbed it against his cheek, leaving a faint blood mark.

But this also angered Du zapeng. Regardless of empress Yan Rufeng driving here, he stared at his two eyes and grabbed Xu Mingzhu's neck with his palm: "bitch, I don't think you want to live!"

Xu Mingzhu's breathing gradually became difficult. Du zapeng's curses were ethereal and distant in her ears. Gradually, the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred in her eyes. She struggled to see the noble and elegant figure not far from her, but the figure gradually became blurred

Is it true that she will die here today, as Du zapeng said?

Two lines of clear tears fell on the rockery stone along Xu Mingzhu's eyes. She stared in despair and tried to see the world more. Although her situation is too bad to be worse, she still doesn't want to die. She hasn't married brother Mingrui yet. Her grandmother is still eagerly looking forward to her return at home, as well as her biological mother, who is shabby and always lingers near the Regent's house, hoping to see her from a distance

Is everything going to end... Xu Mingzhu closes her eyes in despair, pinches her hand around her neck closer and closer, and her breathing becomes more and more difficult. Is she going to die?

After a dull hum, the pressure on Xu Mingzhu's neck suddenly released, as if something warm splashed on her face. Xu Mingzhu opened her eyes in a daze. What she could see was Du zapeng's ferocious and distorted face. He covered his head, and his mouth seemed to make a series of mumbles. His tall body finally fell to the ground.

What the hell happened?

Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a while. Yu Guangcai saw the noble and elegant queen Yan Ru smiling and throwing away a green brick in her hand. At the same time, she calmly took the brocade handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped the blood splashed on her hands. Seeing her sight, empress Yan Ru smiled at her with a crisp voice like a golden pearl falling on the jade plate: "Princess pearl, hasn't the Regent taught you to hit people with bricks in this way?"

Xu Mingzhu stared at the smiling Yan Ru empress, and her fingertips trembled and pointed to Du zapeng who was already dead on the ground: "he... Is he dead?"

Obviously, Du zapeng asked a lot of questions. Du zapeng on the ground looked straight at the sky. His pupils were dilated and his face was iron blue. It was obvious that he had become a corpse.

Yan Ru looked at her with a smile and nodded gently.

"You... You killed him?" Xu Mingzhu couldn't believe that the queen, a woman who looked soft and weak, could kill the strong Du zapeng? How many secrets are hidden in empress Yan ru?

Empress Yan Ru's charming red lips aroused a charming smile. She gently shook her head. Her jade fingers like cutting onion roots gently pointed to Xu Mingzhu: "no, you killed him."

"Do you think so?"

The maids around the queen smiled and answered yes without shock. Xu Mingzhu gaped: "you... How can you confuse black and white so?"

Empress Yan Ru looked at her piteously and whispered, "they don't confuse black and white, but succumb to power. If you were the former Pearl Princess and supported by the Regent, would they unscrupulously wrong you?"

Xu Mingzhu's nose was sour. She tried to keep her tears from falling, but her eyes were red. Queen Yan Ru's voice sounded like a ghost in her ear: "but now, no one will help you out, princess, there is only one person who can help you, this palace."

Xu Mingzhu looked at each other in surprise, but saw that empress Yan Ru faintly made a color to the big palace maids beside her. Three or four palace maids got up, carried Du zapeng's body on their shoulders and threw it straight down from the rockery.

Du zapeng's body fell into the water and soon sank. Xu Mingzhu stared blankly at the ferocious body gradually sinking into the water, and heard the voice of Queen Yan Ru: "the third childe of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment accidentally fell into the water and died. The body will soak in the lake all night and then return it to the Shangshu house."

But Du zapeng's body was obviously hit by a stone. The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment specializes in this. Can't you see that his son didn't fall into the water and die?

Empress Yan Ru seemed to see through her mind, and the corners of her mouth slightly recalled: "the Palace said it was drowning and died. Does the princess think the people of Shangshu house will question the words of the palace?"

Xu Mingzhu lowered her head and said nothing. Empress Yan Ru was right. The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment has always been a dog leg who shakes left and right. She is trembling all day in the court and dare not offend anyone, not to mention empress Yan Ru, who is at the height of the sun. In the past, no one dared to offend her.

Is this the charm of power?

Empress Yan Ru leaned over and gently picked up Xu Mingzhu's chin with her white slender fingers: "without the protection of power, you are nothing."

"Now. Do you understand?"

Xu Mingzhu was stunned, and a sharp voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "princess, don't you kowtow to her great kindness?"

Xu Mingzhu stared at the gentle and noble Yan Ru empress in front of her. It's hard to imagine that the woman in front of her was the woman whose hands were stained with blood just now!

What kind of heart of stone does this woman have?

Xu Mingzhu reluctantly bent down and knelt on the ground "Thank you. Thank you for saving your life..."

Empress Yan Ru leaned down, her eyes fell on Xu Mingzhu's nervous face and smiled gently: "since it's the grace of saving life, how does Princess Mingzhu intend to repay me?"

Xu Mingzhu's face suddenly stiffened. What does empress Yan mean?

"If I hadn't covered up Du zapeng's affairs for you, would the Shangshu family of the Ministry of punishment let you go?" empress Yan Ru pasted it in her ear with a low voice that only two of them could hear.

Xu Mingzhu was startled and suddenly looked up. Her line of sight just hit empress Yan Ru's eyes. The other party shook her head slightly, and the white jade palm gently rubbed her neck with a gesture.

Xu Mingzhu saw the meaning of the gesture clearly. She shrank back as if she wanted to shrink smaller. She asked in a trembling voice, "what do you... What do you want me to do?"

The bright red on empress Yan Ru's lips hurt Xu Mingzhu's eyes as if it were blood. An unknown premonition spread in her heart. Empress Yan Ru looked at Xu Mingzhu kneeling on the ground and showed a strange smile on her face.

Weifu.

Huo Qijun looked at the white curtain flying all over the sky, and his expression was slightly heavy. Wei Zhongtang dragged the patient and forced him to support. When he and Wei MINLING appeared side by side in the Wei mansion, his eyes showed an irrecoverable joy.

He couldn't move at all, but he motioned the housekeeper to help him get up, looked at Wei MINLING with a smile, knelt down and kowtowed to him, drank his granddaughter's wedding wine, and his muddy old eyes left a line of clumsy tears.

He died in the afternoon of the same day. Wei MINLING changed his colorful pink dress into a pure white funeral dress in tears.

The coffin was covered. Wei MINLING put his face on the coffin and wept. She lost her last relative in the world. Where should she go in the future?
