Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 264 Things have changed

early morning.

The capital city was in silence.

In this silence, countless dark shadows moved.

It seems to foreshadow the changes that will happen tomorrow.

Many ministers were awakened by dreams at night.

the next day.

The minister who entered the palace did not come back.

When Jian Shuchi arrived at the Jian residence, his mother hugged him and cried bitterly.

Jian Shuchi said that he wanted to marry Su Qingwan.

Mother Jian said calmly, "It's too late. I know Miss Su doesn't care about our past and won't let you come back. I had no choice but to go to the palace and ask the Queen."

Jian Shuchi felt something was wrong.

"Mother, what did you ask the Queen for?"

"Shu Chi. Su Qingwan is not worthy of you. The reputation of the Su family's daughters is terrible." Mother Jian had long forgotten that she and Lan Xuanji were close friends.

"I beg the Queen to grant Miss Su a marriage. Let her marry Shang Yan as a co-wife. They are the aunt and niece and have the same husband. I wonder how Miss Su can seduce you?"

Jian Shuchi was furious.

In a fit of anger, he swept the things on the table to the ground.

He shouldn't have come back.

He understood Su Qingwan's heart when she said she wanted both.

"Mom. What about our relationship with the Su family?"

Mother Jane closed her eyes.

"Things are different now. If it were before, you two would have been childhood sweethearts. But... the Su family is useless. You are my only son, and I cannot let you degenerate.

I can't let my son be laughed at.

None of your father's concubines are easy to get along with. They will laugh at my son for marrying the daughter of such a family."

Mother Jane became more and more excited as she spoke.

He raised his finger in front of Jian Shuchi.

"Mom, just pretend you don't have a son like me."

"Do you want to see me die?"

Mother Jian held the dagger in her hand, pointing it at her own neck. "I have had a miserable life. I only have two daughters and one son. But your father has five sons.

Shuchi, your father may not care about your marriage.

I can't. If you go out, you have to collect my body first." Jane's mother burst into tears, "I don't plan to live anymore."

"Mom. How could you... force me?"

Jian Shuchi felt as if his heart had been ripped out.

"You forced me to do that." Jane's mother used force with the dagger in her hand.

The nanny beside her knelt down.

"Master, I beg you. Madam... Madam will really commit suicide."

Jian Shuchi saw the blood on his mother's neck and could only endure the pain in his heart and shouted: "I promise you. I will not look for Su Qingwan again."

"Write a breakup letter."

"Mom, we broke up last time. Until now, she has not agreed to be with me again."

"Write to her and tell her that you will never see each other again." Mother Jian didn't believe a word of it. In her eyes, Su Qingwan must be pestering Jian Shuchi.

Jian Shuchi stood still.

The dagger in Jane's mother's hand went deeper.

Saw blood coming out.

Jian Shuchi agreed.

He wrote a letter saying that he was staying in the Jian Mansion and planned to pursue a career in politics and business, and he wished Su Qingwan could find her own life.

Jian Shuchi also left two sentences in the book in a way that only he and Su Qingwan could understand.

Let Su Qingwan wait for him.

Never agree to a royal marriage.

Mother Jane asked the nanny beside her to deliver the letter to the Tang Mansion.

He said a few sarcastic words.

"Tell your Miss Su not to stare at our young master from the Jian family. It's a loss of status and dignity. Our young master will not marry a girl from the Su family."

The doorman of the Tang Mansion poured over the water that he had used to wash his feet last night but had not had time to pour out.

He also complained:

"The people of the Jian family used to be so friendly with the Su family. Why did they turn against each other and become so ruthless after something happened?"

The nanny ran away in anger.

The letter was delivered to Su Rutang, and the messenger repeated what the nanny had said.

Su Qingwan happened to hear it outside.

Waiting for the messenger to leave.

She then walked in.

"Qingwan."

"Aunt. A letter for me?" Su Qingwan's voice was soft but with a hint of expectation, yet also a little bit nervous.

Jian Shuchi went to save her regardless of his own life.

He was taken all the way to the capital, where he suffered a lot.

Su Rutang gave the letter to Su Qingwan.

She opened the envelope, took out the letter and began to read.

Tears flowed down her face unconsciously. Su Qingwan was not crying because of the words Jian Shuchi wrote to her, but because she understood Jian Shuchi's words that told her not to accept the royal marriage and wait for him.

She gently wiped the tears from her face.

"Aunt. Will the emperor grant me a marriage?"

"What did Jian Shuchi say in the letter?"

"Ah."

"Madam Jian went to the palace two days ago. I think she wanted to ask the Queen to grant you a marriage." Su Rutang closed his eyes, "My Su family will never agree to grant you a marriage again."

"Can……"

Su Rutang thought of Shang Yan.

"Qingwan, don't worry. Your uncle must be trying to make arrangements. He went to the palace yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

Su Qingwan hugged Su Rutang and shook her head.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault."

"It's my fault that I dragged my feet and put you in a passive position."

"Aunt, why should I think about an illusory relationship? How could he ask me to refuse the marriage when his mother asked the queen to marry me to someone else?"

Su Rutang didn't understand Jian Shuchi.

Affectionate indeed.

He is willing to do anything for Su Qingwan, but he is wavering between his family and Su Qingwan.

Trust family too much.

There was a noise coming from outside.

"Madam, people from the suburban camp have entered the city and are heading towards our Tang Mansion." Duhuo ran in from outside, "Madam, I will help you rush out."

Su Rutang shook his head.

"No. I'm not going out."

She glanced at Su Qingwan and said, "Qingwan, please leave."

"Do not."

Su Qingwan disagreed.

Su Rutang held her hand and said, "When you get out, go to the manor to find Manager Yun. Tell him to act according to circumstances."

"aunt."

"Let's go quickly." Su Rutang did not let Duhuo escort Su Qingwan out of the city.

A girl named Yun Huatian, who was good at martial arts, was sent to take her away. Qingdai had already packed a bag, which contained Su Qingwan's underwear and some silver notes, gold leaves and silver leaves.

Su Rutang took off the gold bracelet on his wrist and put it on Su Qingwan's wrist.

Inside is a steel needle dipped in poison.

She only explained a few words on how to use it, and tied the cloth bag containing the steel needles to Su Qingwan's belt.

Yun Huatian took Su Qingwan away.

They just left.

The people from the Beijing Suburban Camp had surrounded Tang Mansion. The Major General knew the people from the Jinyiwei. He didn't say much, but just told the people inside not to come out.

The Tang Mansion was surrounded.

Everyone felt a sinking feeling.

Things have changed in the Great Zhou.

Su Rutang was not in a hurry to stay in the mansion, and he didn't even ask anyone to pack up his gold and silver jewelry.

In the palace.

The emperor fell into a coma.

Shang Yan was holding the imperial edict in his hand, and the emperor asked him and Prince Cheng to be regents.

The second prince died from excessive bleeding.

The Queen, the Dou family, the Xie family and other princes refused to acknowledge the situation. They said that they would never allow a eunuch to govern the country, and the Emperor did not lack sons.

Why should the prince be the regent?

The Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Imperial Guards confronted each other.

Shang Yan threw the imperial edict in his hand into the court and asked the queen who was standing opposite him with a glare:

"Prince? The emperor has never appointed a crown prince. Doesn't that mean he is very disappointed with his sons?"

"Shang Yan, you are a eunuch. How dare you control the government?" The pearl hairpin on the queen's head swayed with her movements. "I will never allow you to disrupt the government."

The queen faced the ministers.

"My Lords. Do you think the Emperor would allow a eunuch to govern the country?"

Dou Tianya was the first to speak:

"I don't believe it. The emperor will never let Commander Shang serve as regent."

Shang Yan was not panicked either.

"Perhaps the emperor trusts me, a eunuch. That's why he let me into the palace in such a critical situation last night." Shang Yan sneered: "The princes are promising, so why did the emperor let me and Prince Cheng govern the country?"

correct.

And there is Prince Cheng.

Prince Cheng expressed his headache. He could see that he was brought down by Shang Yan.

He pursed his dry lips and said, "This king knows nothing. When I woke up, I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders. I couldn't help myself, so don't look at me."

Say it.

Prince Cheng looked at Shang Yan.

"What's wrong with my royal brother? I have clearly rejected his proposal and said that we should find a capable prince to supervise the country together with Commander Shang.

This prince has a small heart. If you have any problems, don't come to me. Just live a carefree life with the princess."

Shen Zhongshu felt something was wrong.

He coughed.

Without waiting for him to speak, Shang Yan looked over coldly.

"Mr. Shen has caught a cold?"

Shen Zhongshu: “…”

The wind blew the palace lanterns in the court.

Everybody just stood there.

Muffled thunder continued to hit the clouds, bringing about a heavy rain.

The bean-sized raindrops fell into everyone's hearts like dull drumbeats, making them more and more irritated and uneasy.

Some courtiers know this.

It's time to form a team.

They thought that Shang Yan was supporting Prince Cheng. The Queen must be supporting her own son, but the Queen's son was young and not very smart.

Or the queen supports other princes.
