Chapter 56 Murong

Kaifu Yitong General, Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, and Hanoi County Duke Murong Sanzang Mansion, the old lady scolded Li in the Buddhist temple, silently chanting the scriptures. She muttered words in her mouth, and kept turning the rosary made of wood in her hand, with a quiet face, looking like a kind old lady.

Only the subordinates of the Murong family knew how powerful this old lady was. The entire Murong Mansion's master, servant, and thousands of soldiers and servants were all trembling in the face of the old lady. Even the second wife Yu, who is in charge of the mansion, dared not breathe in front of the old lady. Yu was the sister of the former Shangshu's right servant, and when Lord Yu was alive, Yu was still ruled by Chi Li.

Speaking of which, the life experience of this old lady Murong of Chi Li is not simple. Chi Li is the provincial translator of the Qi Fu Li family among the twelve surnames of Gaoche, and is also called Chi Li family. Her first husband was Duan Rong, King Wuwei of Northern Qi. After King Wuwei died, Chi Li married the current general Murong Sanzang.

Although Chi Li was married for the second time and was older than Murong Sanzang, the couple had a good relationship. But speaking of this, Chi Li was obviously an unfortunate person. After Zhou destroyed Qi, although Chi Li surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty with her husband, the son born to King Wuwei was killed because he was a member of the imperial family of Qi. He had a son and a daughter with Murong Sanzang. His son was Murong Xun, but this son was killed by the prince's military discipline when the Great Sui Dynasty unified the south.

When Murong Xun was killed, Chi Li was already in his fifties. The white-haired man gave him a black-haired man. The most tragic thing in the world was this. However, for many people in the Murong family, it may not be a good thing to die. The ones who think the most are undoubtedly the half-brothers of the second wife Yu and Murong Xun, as well as many maids and servants of the Murong family.

Because Murong Xun was favored by his mother since childhood, he was extremely cruel at home. At the age of twelve, he raped two maids around his mother. After tasting the taste, for several years, almost all the maids with a little beauty in the mansion were ravaged by Murong Xun, and countless servants were beaten to death by Murong Xun. Speaking of which, it may be a retribution for Murong Xun. Although he married at a young age and ravaged so many maids and maids, he gave birth to seven or eight children, but none of them were supported. As soon as Murong Xun died, the old lady of the Chi Li family was cut off in the Murong family.

When he heard the news that Murong Xun was dead, he knew how much Chi Li would react. However, the murderer was the crown prince of the current dynasty. No matter how resentful Chi Li was in his heart, it was almost impossible to take revenge. Chi Li's already half-white hair turned completely white overnight, and all thoughts were gray. He could only let go of the management power of Murong's mansion and live a life of chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name every day.

Murong Sanzang was not only a general, but also served as the local governor. He rarely lived in the capital. Yu thought that she would be the leader of the Murong Mansion in the capital from then on, but Yu was still wrong. Although Chi Li entered the Buddhist temple and handed over the management power, Chi Li was still the only one who was the Murong Mansion. The Yu family had to ask questions for advice before they could take charge of the matter. Even the few sons of the Yu family heard Chi Li's words more than the Yu family. In less than half a month, the servants of the Murong family knew that the one who was in charge of the mansion was still the eldest lady.

When several of the Murong family were bored talking about the most gorgeous maids in the mansion, a fast horse ran towards the street. Seeing the three big characters of Murong Mansion, the knight on the horse quickly pulled the reins, and the brave horse yelled, stopped, but scared the several people.

As soon as the horse stopped, the knight above jumped down, threw the reins, and went up the steps in front of the door, and was about to break into the gate. The man was only about thirty years old, with a pale face and no beard, wearing a coarse cloth clothes. Tan Xing was already very upset when he was disturbed by others. Seeing that the person coming was dressed in a rustic manner, not like a person with a status, one of them jumped out and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you break into Murong Mansion?"

The visitor whispered: "Notify Mrs. Murong that someone in the palace is looking for him."

When he heard that he was looking for Mrs. Murong, several of the people were shocked, but they were unsure of their minds. They didn't know whether to inform the old lady. The person in front of him seemed to be a eunuch, but he was dressed so poorly that he didn't look like someone from the palace.

This eunuch was the eunuch sent by Yang Yue to report to Murong Mansion. He was Guo Shanji, the little eunuch who had spread the story of Princess Lechang's breaking the realm and reunion in Renshou Palace. Now Guo Shanji has become a manager in Renshou Palace. Ordinary eunuchs would respectfully call him "Eunuch Guo". All of this was thanks to Yang Yue, so Guo Shanji gave up on Yang Yue's work.

In recent years, although Mrs. Murong has been hiding in the Buddhist temple, she has never given up on avenging her son. However, with the power of the Murong family, she is far from shaking the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. Mrs. Murong had to settle for the second time, only to be able to depose the crown prince. On the one hand, she sent her daughter Murong Yan to the King of Jin and contacted Yang Yue, just to find an opportunity to depose the crown prince and support the King of Jin to replace him.

Although Yang Yue relied on Mrs. Xuan Hua to be the chief supervisor of Renshou Palace, he was able to always be with the emperor. However, because of Princess Lechang, Yang Yue could not use Mrs. Xuan Hua to destroy the relationship between the emperor and the Eastern Palace. Facing the Murong Mansion, he extended an olive branch, as if he was sleepy and met a pillow, and the two sides hit it off.

Of course, these disciples don’t know. In order to prevent others from recognizing his eunuch identity, shortly after leaving Renshou Palace, Guo Shanji immediately found a place to change into an ordinary person’s clothes. After rushing more than 200 miles, it naturally became what he saw.

Seeing that several people hesitated, Guo Shanji was furious: "Why don't you go quickly!"

Guo Shanji had been in charge of the business for several years, but when he got angry, he had a little momentum. Several of his disciples no longer hesitated and quickly sent one person to report to Mrs. Murong, but the other three watched Guo Shanji tightly. Once Guo Shanji lied, he would be dead.

Guo Shanji was calm and looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he flashed into the gate of Murong Mansion. The three doors were shocked and had to leave two people to watch the door. The other followed Guo Shanji, fearing that he would break the flowers, plants and trees in the yard by walking around casually.

The courtyard of Murong Mansion is vast, with trees and flowing water. As soon as people enter, they feel a little shade. However, Eunuch Guo has lived in Renshou Palace for more than ten years. The scenery here is far worse than that of Renshou Palace. He has no intention of appreciating it. When he saw the servant of Murong Mansion staring at him like a thief, he couldn't help but feel funny.

The servant who went to report to the report was returned for a while. At this time, his face was filled with surprise. Apart from the eldest lady and the old lady's personal maid, even the second lady was not qualified to enter the old lady's Buddhist temple. Unexpectedly, the old lady wanted to meet the eunuch who claimed to have come from the palace in the Buddhist temple.

"This father-in-law, the old lady is welcome."

"Lead the way forward!" Guo Shanji ordered with his head held high and his chest raised.

"Yes, father-in-law, please come with the villain." The manzi's expression became extremely respectful. He was able to meet the old lady in the Buddhist temple. The manzi was the first person in front of him. The manzi dared not doubt Guo Shanji's identity anymore.

After turning several doors, the servants took Guo Shanji to a backyard in Murong Mansion. Two women in their forties were guarded by the gate of the backyard. The two women were tall and seemed to have a layer of frost on their faces. They were wearing a scimitar around their waists, holding them in one hand on the handle of the knife, as if they would pull out the shiny scimitar at any time.

The servant who led Guo Shanji whispered to the two women. The two women nodded, and the servant came to Guo Shanji again: "This father-in-law is the old lady's residence inside. Please ask your father-in-law to take care of himself, and the villain will send it to you."

Guo Shanji nodded. He had known about Yang Yue's connection with Murong Mansion for a long time, but it was the first time he came to Murong Mansion. He was also a little curious about the legendary old lady Murong, so he quickly pushed open the courtyard door and stepped in. However, he had just entered, and with a bang, the courtyard door outside had been closed, and a gloomy breath came to his face.

When he looked at the yard, he was shocked. The entire courtyard covers a vast area, but the weeds are above the knees and are extremely desolate. Occasionally, one or two trees also look strange, as if they are suddenly in the wilderness. What made Guo Shanji's scalp numb was that there was a large bag standing in the middle of the yard. It seemed that it was clearly a lonely grave. No wonder the whole yard gave people a gloomy feeling.

Fortunately, there was a wooden house not far from the orphan grave. There were bursts of wooden fish knocking sounds inside. It was obvious that it was the Buddhist temple where Mrs. Murong lived. Guo Shanji secretly scolded the old lady Murong and was not normal. She couldn't live in a good house, but she wanted to put herself in the wilderness and built a tomb in the courtyard. After calming down, he walked along the path towards the wooden house. When he passed the tomb, a gust of wind blew. Guo Shanji seemed to have goose bumps all over her body. He quickly accelerated his pace. But when he crossed the orphan grave, he couldn't help but look back at the tombstone. A few big words immediately reflected in Guo Shanji's eyes: the tomb of his beloved son Murong Xun.

Guo Shanji suddenly realized in his heart that this was the tomb of the youngest son of the old lady Murong Chi Li family. This tomb of the old lady Murong accompanied his son every day is also considered to be the most beloved son.

"Pick, peel." The wooden fish hit the beat of the slap, and an old voice sounded: "You are here."

Guo Shanji was shocked and found that he had walked into the wooden house. An old lady with all her hair turned into silver threads was asking him. The old lady was dressed in black and stood there much taller than Guo Shanji. Her face was like a silver plate and the layers of wrinkles made people feel that the old lady in front of her was extremely kind.

The person in front of him was undoubtedly Mrs. Murong, and Guo Shanji bowed: "Greetings to the old lady."

"Well, sit down, who sent you here?"

Although the old lady's words were calm, it had a majesty that was irresistible. Guo Shanji originally wanted to take some pretentious behavior in the palace, but he found that when facing the old lady in front of him, he had no room for pretentious behavior, so he had to honestly say: "According to the order of General Manager Yang, the villain will send a letter to the old lady."

"Well, it seems that there is an urgent matter, otherwise Yang Yue wouldn't send someone here, what about the letter?"

"here."

Guo Shanji quickly took out a soft cloth bag from his arms and handed it to the old lady's hand. The old lady unpacked the package layer by layer with her hands, revealing the blood book written by Yang Yue bit her finger on the handkerchief. The old lady just glanced at it and read it. Her expression became more and more excited, and she slowly burst into laughter. The laughter became higher and higher, forcing Guo Shanji to cover her ears. Guo Shanji was shocked to find that the old lady now had no kind-eyed appearance, and her face was covered with Yin Zhi, which seemed a little hysterical.

"Haha, ha, Yang Jian, Yang Jian, you have today, Xun'er, Xun'er, you can avenge your revenge. If you are waiting below, your mother will send your enemy down to accompany you."

"Woo, wu, my son, you died so miserably. Are you alone below? Mom has killed those bitches who have an affair with you and is here to accompany you. Don't worry, if you kill your enemies, Mom will come down to accompany you..." Chi Li said while crying.

Guo Shanji's scalp was tingling when he heard it. I vaguely remembered that someone had said that after Murong Xun's death, including his wife, it seemed that more than a hundred women died in the Murong Mansion in a short time. Could it be that these women were buried with the old lady in front of him for her son? He suddenly remembered this and was shocked. The old lady in front of him had endured for more than ten years. In order to avenge her son, he might do anything. Now that he has heard so much, he is probably going to silence the old lady in front of him if he is not careful.

"Who else knows what's happening in this letter?" The old lady asked in a cold tone after laughing and crying.

Guo Shanji was shocked. The old lady of Chi Li clearly had murderous aura and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady, only the wife and the two empresses in the palace know about it. But now I have been out for more than a day. If anyone knows it, I won't know."

"Well, that's it, then you go back."

"Yes, I obey the order." Guo Shanji paused for a moment. He didn't know what the old lady meant, whether to ask him to go back to the palace or another place. The sentence I just added just now, and I don't know if it could dispel the old lady's idea of ​​silence. He quickly turned his mind and delayed: "I wonder if there is anything to bring back to the supervisor?"

Chi Li looked at Guo Shanji in front of him with a strange look: "Well, there is no more. Since the letter is delivered to Lao Shi, it is Lao Shi's business."

"Yes, old lady, I want to ask you something. I wonder if Xu Cheng is in the hands of the old lady. If so, the old lady admires the old lady's foresight very much?"

"Xu Cheng, that Shang Pharmacopoeia, why? Yang Yue suspected that Lao Shi sent someone to rob him. With you in charge, why are Lao Shi trying to rob him?"

"Yes, since it was not kidnapped by the old lady, it would be strange. Could it be that someone else cares about the emperor's condition?" Guo Shanji said to himself, paused for a moment, and saw that Chi Li had no reaction, he bowed to Chi Li again: "Old lady, that servant has said goodbye."

After a while, a voice from Chi Li came: "Well, you go."

It was not until he left Murong Mansion that Guo Shanji stepped on the horse under the diligent service of several disciples, and wiped the cold sweat from his face and ran forward. This errand was not only tiring, but also almost lost his life. Guo Shanji swore that he would never come to Murong Mansion next time.

In Renshou Palace, after taking the medicine prescribed by Xu Zhizang, the emperor finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard two cheers: "The emperor is awake, the emperor is awake."

The voice was filled with sweetness in panic. It was the voice of Xuan Hua, whom he loved the most. Yang Jian swept his eyes over and saw that the two of them looked like pear blossoms with rain. He felt very distressed when he saw them. He raised his hand and wanted to wipe away the tears from the faces of the two beloved concubines. But he felt that his arms were as heavy as a thousand pounds and could not move at all. Yang Jian couldn't help but be shocked: "I... what's wrong with me?"

As soon as the voice came out, Yang Jian was even more frightened. His majestic voice was hoarse, and he could not hear his own voice at all: "What happened, why... why did I... become like this?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you just need a rest when you are tired." Chen Xuanhua comforted softly.

"Yes, the emperor, don't worry, just take a break." Mrs. Rong Hua also quickly comforted her.

"Really?" Yang Jian asked half-believingly.

"Really, of course it's true. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you might as well ask Doctor Xu." Chen Xuanhua quickly carried Xu Zhizang out.

Seeing that he had been staying by his side, Xu Zhizang quickly moved over and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, that's true. As long as the emperor rests enough, his health will naturally improve."

After listening to Xu Zhizang's explanation, Yang Jian felt relieved. He chatted with Mrs. Xuan Hua and Mrs. Rong Hua for a while, and then fell asleep again.
