Chapter 64 Rumors spread
The sky was already bright, but Leng Lanzhi still didn't feel sleepy.
Hearing that his father ordered someone to call Shen Yizhi into the palace, he didn't know how to punish him.
She is not interested in punishment. Whether her father wants to kill Shen Yizhi or plans to bring down the entire Pingnan Marquis Mansion, she will not be moved at all, let alone act as the Holy Mother for the Marquis Mansion. The person is excused.
She wished they all died.
Of course, she would not add fuel to the fire and ask her father to punish him severely. After all, she still had to maintain the image of a perfect victim.
She doesn't have to do anything now, she just needs to stay in her palace every day.
Leng Lanzhi sat in front of the flower garden, neither reading nor playing the piano. Even breakfast was useless.
Liusha came over and Leng Lanzhi asked: "How is the situation?"
Liusha is also Leng Lanzhi's personal maid. Like Xiaorou, she has grown up with her since childhood.
When Leng Lanzhi got married, because she was in the capital and could return to the palace at any time, Liusha was asked to stay in the palace and take care of her residence to prevent unsighted servants from doing anything they shouldn't. Wrong thinking.
But after what happened last night, Leng Lanzhi became suspicious of Xiaorou.
As the saying goes, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you doubt them.
Naturally, she could no longer let Xiaorou serve her personally.
It was impossible for her to return to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the future, and it was impossible for her to switch their positions and let Xiaorou manage other things, while Liusha stayed by her side to take care of her.
Liusha looked at her princess with a distressed look on her face, with anger that could not be concealed in her eyes.
She never thought that the seemingly glamorous consort was actually a scumbag. Princess Gu's infatuation was really in vain!
In fact, outsiders like them could clearly see that the prince-in-law had not been interested in the princess before, but the princess was devoted to him.
So to be honest, they shouldn't blame the consort.
Keren's hearts are biased. One is an outsider who has nothing to do with her, and the other is a princess who has grown up together as a master, servant and sister. Liusha really has no way to excuse the consort.
Thinking of the news she got from the front, Liusha's eyes were full of joy: "Your Majesty is very angry and has already put the consort in prison. The imperial edict was just passed down from the front, asking Pingnan Marquis to shut up and think about his mistakes. He can't leave the house without being summoned. What's the matter? I was fined the Marquis’s salary for one year.”
The result of such treatment is not serious. After all, Shen Yizhi committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if he was directly beheaded or the whole family of Pingnan Hou Mansion was executed, nothing could be said.
It's just that after all, the old Marquis was a hero who followed the emperor to conquer the world, and he died of injuries, so the emperor would inevitably become soft-hearted.
Leng Lanzhi had thought of this a long time ago, so he didn't feel disappointed.
As long as the true face of that scumbag family is revealed, they are infamous for eternity, and they can no longer step on him to get to the top, that is enough.
Of course, Shen Yizhi would never let her go. After all, he personally ordered her to be killed in her previous life.
If she doesn't take revenge, she will never be truly happy.
In the previous dynasty, there was a lot of quarrel over how to execute the prince-in-law. Some people felt that the prince-in-law had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and his entire family should be exterminated.
However, some ministers felt that this was too unreasonable. After all, the prince-in-law just made a mistake that all men in the world would make, and there were precedents of princes-in-law keeping concubines in the past.
The most important thing is that the princess once said that as long as the concubine is willing, the princess will give him a concubine.
Now the prince-in-law just did what the princess promised, is this worthy of beheading?
The emperor was upset when he heard this.
One day later, rumors suddenly spread among the people.
It's a rumor, but that's not necessarily true.
Because everyone knew about this matter six years ago, but now it is just a commonplace - that is, the prince-in-law did not really seek to marry the princess when he married her, but was forced to do so by the emperor's decree.
In other words, the consort has no feelings for the princess at all. He was forced to go to Liangshan and had to marry the princess.
To put it harshly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is forcing a good girl into prostitution.
There are also rumors that the consort and the concubine were originally a couple who were in love with each other. The two of them had already made a private decision for life. Even the Marquis of Pingnan and his wife knew about it and agreed that they would be together. Prepare the marriage for the two people and let the two lovers finally get married.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's decree granting marriage would come down.
The two lovers were forcibly separated, and the child changed from a legitimate young master of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to a shady illegitimate child.
What a pitiful, sad, deplorable love story!
The common people have no resistance to this kind of story about fighting against power. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they really feel sorry for the protagonist in the story.
As for the emperor and the princess, who were the bullies, although they did not dare to say anything because they were the ones in power and both were alive, they were undoubtedly disgusted in their hearts.
So many people spontaneously supported the prince-in-law and the poor concubine.
If you can't scold the princess and the emperor, then it's right for them to feel sorry for the poor powerless people, right?
In just one day, the situation in Beijing and China was reversed.
The rumors almost broke Leng Lanzhi's backbone.
Leng Lanzhi didn't know this at that time, she just felt a little strange.
Liusha always looked at her with timid eyes, as if she had something to say, but whenever she looked over, Liusha would quickly look away, not daring to look at her at all.
After losing sight of Liu Sha again, Leng Lanzhi frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Liusha knelt down with a pop, but she didn't dare to tell the truth.
Leng Lanzhi had a bad premonition in his heart: "Did something happen to the consort?"
Liusha couldn't defeat her master, so she could only tell the rumors among the people.
There was one more thing she didn't dare to say.
In fact, not only the people, but also the palace were affected by the rumors. But because the palace was the emperor's territory, and the emperor always doted on the princess, no one dared to say anything.
As long as the princess is not the unparalleled Princess Jialuo, but those marginalized and unfavored princesses, they must have been drowned in rumors by now.
After hearing this, Leng Lanzhi was not as angry as he had imagined.
She should have thought a long time ago that Shen Yizhi had arranged it for so long just to preserve his reputation.
Although today's incident happened suddenly and he couldn't explain anything, it seemed like a dead game, but it was not completely hopeless.
Sure enough, this man has a terrible deep mind. No wonder he has been able to hold back his temper and not go to Yu Waner for so long after returning to Beijing.
If Leng Lanzhi hadn't thought of a way to do the opposite, goad Yu Waner in turn, and even use Shen Yizhi's plan to defeat his army, I'm afraid things in the outer chamber would still have been concealed.
Maybe, I will spend many more years in Pingnanhou Mansion.
This man is so terrible.
Just when Leng Lanzhi thought there would be more commotion next, the rumors in the capital disappeared.
The speed was so fast that Lenglan City found it incredible.
She thought her father had taken action, so she didn't think much about it.
However, although there are no more people spreading random messages, the established image has been formed, which is inconsistent with Leng Lanzhi's original intention.
Her original intention was to be a perfect victim, but now the development of things has gone against her original intention. Her forbearance in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion these days seems to have become a joke.
