Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

Du Juan has been haggard these past few days, as if he has drained all his energy and spirit at once. His eye sockets are drooping, his cheeks are shriveled, and his skin is sallow. It's like a different person.

When Zhu Xuanshuo came to the other courtyard, he was shocked to see Du Juan like this.

"Yi'er, you, how did you become like this?"

"Xuan Shuo," Du Juan burst into tears when he saw him coming, "Xuan Shuo, woo~" She rushed towards Zhu Xuanshuo while crying.

Zhu Xuanshuo dodged subconsciously, but he didn't dodge and was hugged by Du Juan.

He frowned for a moment, but he held back and didn't push her away immediately.

Du Juan's tears flowed endlessly as if she didn't want money, and the snot mixed with tears rubbed onto Zhu Xuanshuo's clothes, crying that their child was gone, and with a twisted face, asked Zhu Xuanshuo to avenge their child.

Zhu Xuanshuo took a deep breath and comforted her: "Yi'er, it's all my elder brother's fault. It took me so long to see you. I was really busy recently, so I didn't come. You should take good care of your body first. The child is gone. We There will be opportunities in the future.”

Seeing that he didn't blame her for the loss of the child, Du Juan comforted her, which made her feel guilty and blamed herself even more, and her arms holding Zhu Xuanshuo were even stronger.

Zhu Xuanshuo hurriedly said: "Yi'er, I can't stay too long today, I have to go out of the city for business, this time I just stopped by to see you, and I have to leave later."

Du Juan let go of his hand hesitantly, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, do you still want to leave? Will you come back tonight?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. I'm going on a long trip this time." After Zhu Xuanshuo finished speaking, he took out a few more bank notes from his pocket and said, "Yi Qia'er, here is 1000 taels. Take good care of yourself. Big Brother, I will pay you [-] taels here." gone.

After Zhu Xuanshuo finished speaking, he put down the bank note, turned around and left the room in a hurry, and walked away without looking back.

Du Juan twitched again, counted the bank notes, shed two more tears, then got up and put the bank notes away.

Zhu Xuanshuo walked out the door of the other courtyard, looked at the stains on his clothes that were cries from the cuckoo, flicked his sleeves angrily, and went back to the house, and never went out again after that, there is no such thing as a long trip

Ever since the queen learned that the fourth prince Zhu Xuanye had given birth to a son, she was very anxious.

Her son had been married for so long and had only one daughter, and her daughter-in-law was never seen getting pregnant again.

On this day, the eldest concubine came to the palace to pay her respects to the empress.

The children and ministers greeted the queen mother, and wished the queen mother good luck and golden safety. "Chen Linlin gave a big gift to the empress.

"Good Lin'er, get up quickly, let the queen mother take a good look, but you haven't come for a while."

The Empress took her hand, pulled her to sit beside her, and said: "Aijia heard that you have been ill recently, but you are better."

"After returning to my mother, I just suffered from a bit of wind and cold, and I'm already recovering." Chen Linlin sat down beside the empress with a peaceful face, and replied gently.

The queen is 120% satisfied with this daughter-in-law, with a docile and well-behaved personality, which is perfect for her son.

¨Take good care of your body, and give birth to a little grandson for the Ai family as soon as possible, so the Ai family will have nothing to worry about. After saying that, he patted Chen Linlin's hand.

Chen Linlin hesitated to speak, with a troubled expression on her face.

The queen looked out, and quickly asked: "What's the matter? Is there any grievance? If you have anything to say, tell the queen mother if the emperor bullied you. Tell the queen mother, and the queen mother will make the decision for you.

Chen Linlin hurriedly said: "No, my husband didn't bully me, it's just," Chen Linlin said softly with a face of embarrassment, "It's just that my husband didn't spend the night in the mansion a few days ago, and it's been a long time since we...

Um?He didn't spend the night in the mansion, so where did he go? "The queen frowned suddenly when she said this, "Could it be that he is still outside, and it is impossible to raise a foreign room? "

Chen Linlin immediately comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, queen mother. Maybe it's because I have official duties."

This excuse was so bad that she couldn't even explain it herself.

"Don't make excuses for him. I still don't know about my son. Don't worry, I will make the decision for you. I want to see what is so divine. My son is so fascinated that he doesn't even go home."

Seeing the worried look on this daughter-in-law's face, the empress patted the other's hand in satisfaction, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Shuo'er make things difficult for you, just act as if you don't know anything, and leave this matter to you." Queen Mother."

"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother." Chen Linlin smiled softly.

After Chen Linlin left, the queen sent someone to investigate. After such an investigation, Du Juan's details were thoroughly investigated.

When he learned that the other party was not only a lowly actor, but also an actor with dirty hands and feet, he was extremely angry. What's even worse, this bitch dared to have a child for Shuoer. I was about to explode, and lost my temper a lot.

After the anger subsided, the queen who calmed down only said four words: "Let her disappear.

"Yes." The man said and walked out.

For the queen, killing a little slut like Du Juan is as easy as crushing an ant.

That night, in Zhu Xuanshuo's other courtyard, several dark shadows sneaked into it, piled wood around the master bedroom, and poured several jars of spirits on these woods, and then pointed the newly lit torch towards the wood. direction.

Boom~ The fire burst into flames in an instant.

Several black shadows glanced at each other, then retreated in the direction they came from.

The next day, when Zhu Xuanshuo received the news, his house had been burned to the ground.

He rushed to that house immediately, but he didn't approach it, he just looked at it from a distance, and saw that there was only an empty shelf left. He stood there for a while, and then left without looking back.

Shen Changjun heard that a house in the capital was on fire. Although the fire had stopped, he still rushed there with Xing Lie.

When they arrived at the destination, Shen Changjun couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scene in front of him. If there were people inside, there probably wouldn't even be a bone left.

The officials were probing around, and Shen Changjun showed his special envoy reporter badge, and the officials nodded to him.

Shen Changjun took Xing Lie and followed the officials to look around. He asked one of the officials, "Brother, do you know how this fire started?"

The official did not reply immediately, but stopped at one place. He found a torch near this place. Obviously, it was this torch that ignited this place, and this was the point of fire.

The official said: "If my observation is correct, someone should have set the fire on purpose."

Shen Changjun and Xing Lie also saw the torch, and they couldn't help saying in their hearts, "It's a deliberate murder."

Shen Changjun asked again: "Then I wonder if there are any casualties here?"

The officer shook his head and said, "I didn't find it, maybe it was burnt to ashes."

Shen Changjun and Xing Lie looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

The official said again: "Fortunately, there was a rain in the middle of the night, and the fire was extinguished. Otherwise, the houses in this area might be..."

Although he didn't finish his words, both Shen Changjun and Xing Lie understood his unfinished words.

So the next day's newspaper headline, no surprise, was the fire in this place, and it drew the torch that caused the fire because it was deliberately thrown.

As for whether there were casualties, there was no detailed statement, only that no body was found.

That night, Zhu Xuanye held Xing Lie in his arms, and the two of them chatted about the house that was on fire.

Zhu Xuanye told Xing Lie that the house that caught fire belonged to his elder brother Zhu Xuanshuo.

Xing Lie said in disbelief: "Who did the First Prince offend?"

Zhu Xuanye hugged him and kissed him, shook his head, and said: "That house is lived by a little lover raised by him."

"Then, could it be the eldest concubine who set the fire?" Xing Lie asked suspiciously.

laugh. "Zhu Xuanye felt that his little lover was too innocent, so he flicked on the other's forehead, and said: "She still doesn't dare. "

Hiss..." Xing Lie felt a pain, but he was even more confused, if it wasn't the eldest prince concubine, then he couldn't be the eldest prince, who could it be?

"Okay, don't think about it, I tell you this because I don't want you to take care of this matter, and stay away from that house in the future." Zhu Xuanye warned.

Xing Lie turned over, pressed Zhu Xuanye under him, and looked down at him.

"You worry about me?

"What do you say?"

You worry about me. "

"Zhu Xuanye also turned around and regained the initiative, without saying anything, but started another round of siege.

After the queen read the newspaper, she slammed the newspaper on the table.

I hated in my heart: This bunch of trash can leave evidence after killing someone, it's useless, and that newspaper office is really full and has nothing to do, meddling in other's business.

The emperor naturally knew about this matter, and he also knew that the owner of this house belonged to his son Zhu Xuanshuo.

However, he did not ask Zhu Xuanshuo for questioning, and it is not known whether he will investigate secretly.

Because there was no follow-up report on the fire, it just struck a thunderbolt in the hearts of the people and passed away.

With the passage of time, this incident has gradually faded away in people's hearts.

Zhu Xuanshuo has recently become active again. To him, the cuckoo is just a plaything, and if it dies, it will die.

On this day, he invited Chen Sihao, and the two of them went to Qinghe West Garden, where there is a high-end club.

There are not only singers, dancers, but also senior masseurs.

Qinghe Xiyuan is a newly established clubhouse a few years ago. No one knows who the boss behind it is.

Although Zhu Xuanshuo is a prince, but now that Chu Jun doesn't know, he doesn't dare to make mistakes easily. Although he really wants to get involved here, he has never been able to get in.

The people who come here are all princes and nobles. In addition to Yuyin Xiaozhu, Pinghuashe and other public places that are open to the public, there are many more private places.

The biggest advantage of these private places is that they are secret. Not only are the places secret, but the people who come here can also be well protected.

You don't just have money to come to these places. Apart from money, you have to have a background and a status. Otherwise, I'm afraid you don't even have the qualifications to know that this place exists.

Zhu Xuanshuo brought Chen Sihao to Qinghe Xiyuan today, to show him what is a new place that rich people can't afford.
