Chapter 362
Li Xiao bought some local specialties in Yanzhou and was about to return home. How could it be that the dignified governor of Shandong always stayed in Yanzhou.
Facing the Wang family, Li Xiao felt a little guilty and more reluctant to let go. If she was a woman from an ordinary family, Li Xiao would take her back to Jinan. As long as she was careful, no one would know. When she arrived in Jinan,
No one would say no. Tokugawa Chiki kept scurrying to Li Xiao to take her maid into his room. Especially after seeing Ao Canghai making Erya's belly bigger, this thought became even stronger.
But there is no way, Wang is a princess. She is the mother-in-law of the newly enthroned King Lu by the imperial court. If you bring such a woman home, the consequences will be very serious if you are accused.
She was ready to say farewell, but she couldn't say a word. Because Wang said three words: "I have it!"
"Yes?" Li Xiao's eyes widened as he looked at Wang's belly in disbelief.
"It's true! Today I changed my clothes and went to the street to ask a doctor to see me, and he found out my happy pulse!" Under the candlelight, Mrs. Wang's face was slightly red.
Li Xiao's brain was in a down state, and he had never been a father in his two lifetimes. Unexpectedly, he inadvertently completed the great mission of genetic inheritance. This...! What a fucking surprise.
"I'm talking to you! I got it!" Seeing Li Xiao's stupid state, Wang was so angry that she shook Li Xiao's arm like a Lantern Festival.
"Uh...! Ahem!" Li Xiao tried to organize it three times, but failed to organize the words. He couldn't let Wang shake like this anymore. If he shook his arm again, it would be dislocated. He pulled Wang, or to be precise, held him.
Mrs. Wang sat on the chair. She wanted to press her hands on her stomach, but she didn't dare to get close.
After walking around Wang for three times, Wang's eyes were filled with mosquito coils.
"You...have it?"
Mrs. Wang almost lost her temper at Li Xiao's question. I'm sorry that the governor actually understood it.
"Yeah!" Wang nodded shyly.
Li Xiao ran to the door and wanted to shout to vent the excitement in his chest, but when he ran to the door, he remembered that he couldn't shout at this time. He imitated howling like a wolf in the middle of the night, and he didn't even attract the spies.
"Let's find a way quickly! The slave's belly cannot wait. The princess cannot have a pregnant belly. If someone finds out, it will be a serious matter." Seeing that Li Xiao didn't know what to say, Wang was a little anxious. Pregnancy is such a thing.
, she can't hide it for too long. What's more, there is a real princess in Prince Lu's palace who stares at her all day long.
"Haha! What are you waiting for? Since you have my flesh and blood, Li Xiao, why should I bring you back to Jinan to give you a name? Haha! I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father."
Looking at Li Xiao with an idiotic smile on his face, Wang shook his head helplessly. He was already the governor of Shandong, how could he still be so unreliable in doing things?
Li Xiao, who was immersed in joy, soon discovered a huge problem. Wang was not an ordinary person, how could he take someone away. Going to Prince Lu's Mansion to propose marriage to the princess in an open and aboveboard manner was almost like slapping the royal family in the face. You know,
His Royal Highness Prince Lu died less than three months ago.
This is not much different from rebellion!
It doesn't seem appropriate to disguise it as a kidnapping case. After all, Wang is a princess, so if she was kidnapped, it would definitely be a shocking case.
Li Xiao spent a long time in the room thinking like a donkey, but couldn't figure out the reason. Suddenly, Li Xiao felt that he was stupid. Why must Mao find a way by himself? Isn't there a ready-made strategist in Yanzhou City? Besides, Zhang Huangyan also
Not an outsider. He is Wang's cousin, and theoretically Li Xiao's brother-in-law.
Zhang Huangyan was invited, and Li Xiao was still a little embarrassed to speak. He kept rubbing his hands and his face was a little red. When he opened his mouth to speak, he would start with one thing or another.
"I know what happened between you and the princess!" Zhang Huangyan was really upset, so he simply pointed it out directly.
"Uh...! You know?" Li Xiao was relieved.
"Of course, I took action to deal with that doctor. Young people always like to leave hidden dangers when doing things." Zhang Huangyan said very thoughtfully.
"...!" Li Xiao was speechless. Judging from Zhang Shun's fate, the doctor must be in trouble. If Sun Chengzong is compared to a fox, then Zhang Huangyan is a wolf. He is not only cunning, but also vicious. This
He is so fierce that even Sun Chengzong can hardly match him.
"How should Mr. Zhang respond?" Li Xiao really lacks experience in handling similar incidents. Fortunately, Zhang Huangyan is his uncle and brother, and he is his own family after all.
"The only plan for now is to feign death to survive. Otherwise, once the princess's pregnancy is revealed, it will be a disaster for both her and you. The safest way now is to escape from the golden cicada's shell."
"You mean...suspended death? I heard that you have to take a fake death drug. Will it affect the fetus?" Li Xiao immediately thought of the scenes that often appear in martial arts. Eat something like Thousand Days Drunk and fall asleep.
For many days, I felt as if I was dead.
"Who said there is such a thing as a fake death drug?" Zhang Huangyan looked at Li Xiao strangely, as if he was looking at an alien creature.
"Uh...! No...?" Li Xiao was embarrassed.
The days passed quickly, and it had been three months since His Highness King Lu passed away. In these three months, the door of King Lu's tomb was sealed three times, King Lu was buried once, and Chen Niu pried it open and sealed it again.
The funerary objects were recovered, and the poor King Lu's tomb was dug up and then sealed again.
His Highness Zhu Shouyong was destined to have no peace even after death. He was tortured three times in just three months. He was truly an anomaly among the Ming Dynasty vassal kings.
Today is Zhu Shouyong's 100-day memorial ceremony. Under the leadership of the new King of Lu, Zhu Yihai, all the princesses and concubines of the Lu Palace went out to pay their respects in front of King Lu's tomb.
The sky was gloomy in winter, and the little north wind blew on the face like a knife. There was a mournful cry in front of King Lu's tomb. In just a few months, Zhu Yihuang, Zhu Yipai, Zhu Yijiang and other princes were all surrounded by the clan.
Confined. In the huge palace of Prince Lu, only Zhu Yihai was left as a male, which seemed a bit desolate.
Heavy dark clouds suppressed people's mood, and women cried a lot. Especially the former princess Huang. Her son Zhu Yihuang was originally the heir apparent, but now he is suffering inside the high walls of his hometown in Fengyang. He doesn't know how long he will last.
At what date can he be released?
Mrs. Wang was also crying, and her sad expression perfectly explained what it means to be grief-stricken. She was about to hit her head on the tombstone several times, but was pulled back by the maid next to her. Seeing this scene, everyone felt like Wang.
Moved by Mrs. Wang's friendship, even Ms. Huang seemed to have forgotten her sadness and came over to give Wang a few words of comfort.
The sacrifice went on for a whole morning, and it started to snow lightly in the gloomy sky. Since God did not accept guests, everyone in Prince Lu's Mansion also decided to go back home.
"Nujia, go up the mountain and have a look!" The tomb of King Lu is halfway up the mountain, and it's an easy walk up and down the mountain from here.
Hearing Wang's words, everyone was stunned. You still want to go up the mountain in the cold weather?
"The late king is buried in this mountain. I think that by climbing to the top of the mountain, I can talk to the prince more closely. Don't worry about it. I will go back as soon as I leave. Juxiang...!" Mrs. Wang's idea was right, and she stretched out her hand to the maid. The maid hurriedly helped her.
After staying, the master and his servants headed towards the top of the mountain.
"Since Mrs. Wang wants to climb the mountain to pay homage, it's up to her to express her condolences. You guys, follow up and serve." Ms. Huang wished that Ms. Wang would freeze to death on the top of the mountain, so it would be best if she slipped and fell down the mountain to finish her off.
"No!" Several servants heard Huang's instructions and immediately followed.
"Your Majesty! Let's go down the mountain. It's cold. Don't freeze." Huang held Zhu Yihai's little hand. Zhu Yihai wanted to follow my mother up the mountain. But Huang's prestige since childhood prevented him from disobeying him, so Huang pulled her.
He followed me down the mountain obediently. As I walked, I looked back at the mountain climber.
Huang had just descended from the mountain when suddenly a lifetime of screams rang out in the valley. Everyone looked up and saw that people were being thrown down from the peaks. Although they were far away, the echoes in the mountains still brought constant screams, like Liangshan...
Words like revenge.
