Chapter Thirty-nine: Meeting in Arms
Kong Miao was confused by Zhuang Chengrong's sudden move. He opened his mouth, thinking that he was facing the moody Zhuang Chengrong, so he didn't say anything after all.
Zhuang Chengrong said to Brother Song again: "You unfilial son, you dare to rebel against me. If you weren't afraid of your mother's sadness, I would have killed you long ago. Forget it, this elixir cannot be refined for the time being. Wait until I return to the palace. Then, how can I treat you well?"
Only then did Kong Miao react. He couldn't help but secretly sigh: Shen Qiujun's destiny is really tough. What kind of **** soup did she pour into Zhuang Chengrong? She couldn't be hurt at all.
At this time, a chamberlain ran in and shouted: "Oh no, Your Majesty, the Queen has led troops to surround the villa and is coming to kill them."
Kong Miao was overjoyed and shouted: "It's incredible, the queen is indeed Si Chen's destiny, the prince is the vanguard, and she is here to finish it off. The Zhuang family is in danger."
Zhuang Chengrong grabbed the man in disbelief and asked loudly: "What did you say? The queen brought people to kill him?"
The visitor was so frightened that he stammered and replied: "Returning to the emperor, the queen has already brought people to the front of Zhuangzi. At this time, she is blocked in front of the door by several guards."
Zhuang Chengrong felt great pain in his heart and shouted angrily: "Tell them not to stop her, but I want to see how she will deal with me."
At this time, in front of the villa, Shen Qiujun looked at the guards on the villa in front of the door. They obviously looked like Jianghu people. He couldn't help but look at Yang Yuan. Yang Yuan nodded, and Shen Qiujun understood that those people were Zhuang Chengrong's dead men. .
So she took out a jade pendant from her body and said, "I think you are familiar with this jade pendant. The one holding the jade pendant is your master. Come and pay homage to the master soon."
Those dead men were immediately in a dilemma. They really didn’t understand what Zhuang Chengrong and his wife were up to. Zhuang Chengrong was naturally their master, but back then they had sworn to be forever loyal to the queen who held the jade pendant. Today’s situation really makes it difficult for them. .
Fortunately, Shen Qiujun didn't make it difficult for them and just asked them to send a message to Zhuang Chengrong.
Those people actually breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them came in to see Zhuang Chengrong and said, "The Queen asked me to ask the Emperor: Does the Emperor still remember what he said back then?"
They have been married for so many years. He has said many things. Who knows what she asked about?
Zhuang Chengrong was about to get angry, but when he saw the guard hand over a small dagger, he was startled. He reached out and took it, and saw the gems still shining brightly on it. Zhuang Chengrong's face softened.
This was a gift he gave to Shen Qiujun for self-defense when they first met in this village many years ago. Except for using it when taking the treasure that day, it has never left her side. After so many years, the calculation of that day has come early. It just faded away. It only served as a testimony that the relationship between the two of them became stronger over time.
How could he forget the promise he made back then: he would never allow anyone to hurt her, not even himself. Even for the position of emperor, he risked his life to fight for it because of her. This world belongs to him. Why did the gift he brought to her end up forcing her to the point where the husband and wife were at war with each other?
Kong Miao saw Shen Qiujun bringing a dagger to Zhuang Chengrong. She was secretly happy that this sharp weapon was the handle that was brought to her door. When she was about to say more, she found that Zhuang Chengrong's expression became confused and there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
Kong Miao secretly thought something bad, it seemed that Shen Qiujun was indeed the destined queen, and he was afraid that he would not be able to save his life, so while everyone's attention was on Zhuang Chengrong, he quietly moved to the dark place.
Zhuang Chengrong could not think of others at this time. He only saw him smiling and saying: "Let everyone put down their weapons and line up to welcome the Queen into Zhuangzi."
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Although everyone was confused, they did not disobey the emperor's order and hurriedly put away their weapons and followed Zhuang Chengrong outside.
At this time, the guards in front of Zhuangzi's gate got the signal from inside, quickly put away their weapons and stood respectfully on both sides.
Shen Qiujun looked at Yang Yuan without knowing why, and Yang Yuan was also very confused. He was an old friend of Zhuang Chengrong, so he naturally knew the signals for passing news between the dead soldiers. This suddenly turned from a tense situation to a tense situation, which made him unable to do anything for a moment. Adapting to it, but if there is any conspiracy in it, it doesn't look like it.
After hearing Yang Yuan's explanation, Shen Qiujun breathed a sigh of relief. She knew how Zhuang Chengrong's intelligence could be manipulated by others. There must be some misunderstanding.
For a moment, she thought of Kong Miao's evil spirit, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth. He was the one who knew how to run for his life, so Shen Qiujun ordered Yang Yuan to lead people to guard the back mountain and make sure to catch Kong Miao. She jumped off her horse and took a few people with her. A confidant slowly walked into the village.
At this time, Zhuang Chengrong was also bringing people over. He saw Shen Qiujun in military uniform from a distance. Zhuang Chengrong couldn't help but secretly praise his heroic appearance in his heart. But until the two of them got closer, he saw Shen Qiujun's face that could not be hidden. Tired and haggard, Zhuang Chengrong felt distressed, put on a smile and said: "Sister Yu."
Shen Qiujun was also looking at Zhuang Chengrong. Seeing that he was surrounded by his close confidants, he knew that he was a free man and was not being held hostage. Shen Qiujun couldn't help but feel relieved.
Looking at Zhuang Chengrong's face, it is rosy and shiny. It seems that he has lived a very good life in Zhuangzi these days. Then think of that a person like him, who has always been smart and transparent, secretly made elixirs without telling himself, and almost caused a big disaster because of this ridiculous thing. When Shen Qiujun came, Shen Qiujun felt angry again. Besides, she didn't see Brother Song at this time. She asked solemnly: "Where is Song'er? How is he doing now?"
Zhuang Chengrong had long seen how Shen Qiujun relaxed when he saw him. He knew that Shen Qiujun cared about him. Now that he saw that her attitude towards him was the same as before, he felt more and more happy. However, because he saw that Shen Qiujun was angry, he He didn't say anything, and just pointed to the alchemy room behind him.
Shen Qiujun had already walked into the room like a gust of wind. Zhuang Chengrong secretly comforted his slightly hurt heart and followed him in.
When Shen Qiujun entered the house, she saw her son tied up like a rice dumpling. She felt sorry for her son and hurriedly went to untie the rope. Unexpectedly, the rope was tied tightly, but she had no sharp blade in her hand, and the dagger was in Zhuang Chengrong's hand. Shen Qiujun had no choice but to Order the waiter to untie Song Geer.
Zhuang Chengrong was still angry at his son's behavior, so although he held a dagger in his hand, he did not step forward to help. Seeing his attitude, the people below did not know whether they should step forward to help, so they had to stand aside with hands tied.
Seeing that no one responded to Shen Qiujun's order, Zhuang Chengrong was furious: "Didn't you hear what the queen said? What are you eating for the ears? Don't you want them anymore?"
Everyone was so frightened that they rushed forward to untie Brother Song. Shen Qiujun looked at Zhuang Chengrong and smiled self-deprecatingly. Then he turned to take a closer look at his son, and found that although he was covered in dirt and was in a miserable state, he didn't even have a scratch on his skin. When he didn't, he scolded him in a low voice, comforted him a few words, and ordered someone to serve him and go out to sort things out.
Zhuang Chengrong also took the opportunity to shoo away his subordinates and muttered with some grievance: "Look at the son you taught, he dares to disobey me. Not to mention my villainous heart, if I didn't have a few people under my command, my life might not be certain." I won't leave it to him. Although this ruthlessness is somewhat me, no other emperor would want this kind of thing to happen to him, for fear that he would have been killed long ago."
Shen Qiujun meditated tiredly on a futon and said with a wry smile: "What do you mean a son I taught? Isn't he your son? It's the fault of a son who doesn't teach his father. It's my fault that he's not good. He did this." Isn’t it because you were hiding it and there was a misunderstanding?”
When Shen Qiujun said this, he changed the subject and added: "But if you say that Song'er has no selfish intentions, even I don't believe it. This is the tragedy of being born in an emperor's family. If you are still King Anle now, I guarantee that no matter what you do, He doesn't dare to feel rebellious about ridiculous things, because based on the royal rules and the power of the Shen family, his and my status are unbreakable, but once we are placed in the emperor's house, it will not be the same."
"What you have done during this period of time all shows that I have lost my love and lost my favor. As a queen who has lost my favor, and the emperor is still a moody and hard-hearted person, the fate of this queen family has already been seen. How could Song'er not have thoughts in her mind?"
Zhuang Chengrong was still angry and said: "That's all for others. He is your and my biological son, and he grew up in front of you and me. How can he be so confused and unclear about my feelings for you?"
Shen Qiujun sneered: "People's hearts will change, especially in the emperor's family. Many concubines held in the hands of the emperor will still be in the same miserable situation when they grow old and have a replacement, not to mention my hateful concubines. Furthermore, even if your mind has not changed, there is a saying that says, "You will be wise once, but you will be confused for a while." How could you know that you will not be confused and do something that will regret it in the future? Reminiscences are overwhelming and will not help the matter."
Zhuang Chengrong was unconvinced and said: "How could a smart person like me get so confused? Everything is just an excuse."
Shen Qiujun looked at Zhuang Chengrong and smiled and said: "Yes, you have always been smart and will not get confused and do wrong things. Then you can explain to me why you hide here to refine the elixir of youth and eternal youth." Dan?”
Zhuang Chengrong had a sneer on his face and forced a smile: "I am refining these elixirs just because I want to stay with Sister Yu for a long time."
