On the carriage, Mingyue began to tell the situation of the Zhao family.
"The father of the Zhao family was a founding hero of our prosperous dynasty. However, when the Zhao family was at its peak, the Zhao family's father made an act that shocked the government and the people, and then resigned and retired. The emperor tried his best to keep him, but he could never keep General Zhao's family. General Zhao said that he did not want to live a life of fighting and killing, and could not get used to open and secret struggles in the court. He only said that if the descendants of the Zhao family were on standby at any time in the future, after the Zhao family passed away, the Zhao family would enter the career of officialdom. The emperor at that time was grateful for everything the Zhao family did before, so he promoted it all the way. The Zhao family was also a talented person, inherited his father's ability, and he killed countless enemies on the battlefield and made military achievements repeatedly."
The fifth thought listened quietly, but did not express any opinions.
In her eyes, General Zhao was a good move. Usually, the founding heroes could not escape a crime, that is, he was extremely successful. However, he chose to withdraw at the peak of his life and retain his whole family, but after his death, he let his son continue to enter the official career. This shows that his scheming was so deep.
"But in General Zhao's next generation, he could not cultivate another talent. The main reason is that General Zhao's wife. Speaking of this general's wife, she was the most famous woman in the capital back then. The people who wanted to marry her were about to break the threshold, but she fell in love with General Zhao. At that time, although the old general Zhao retired, although he still had the power to support the rise of the entire Zhao family, it was mostly up to General Zhao's ability, so it was definitely a big gamble. The facts proved that the general's wife won the bet. General Zhao made great achievements and the general's wife was also named the first-class lady of the imperial edict. This general's wife had a shortcoming, that is, she protected her shortcomings, and she was extremely protective of her shortcomings. Regardless of whether her children were right or wrong, her elbow must be turned in."
The fifth thought understood, "So the Zhao family is going downhill, and it has an unavoidable relationship with this general's wife."
Mingyue nodded, "In my opinion, there are also reasons for this. General Zhao has three sons and two daughters. He was a bit lawless by the general's wife. General Zhao is particularly grateful for his wife's kindness, so he wanted to take care of her, but he was not enough. Finally, he became a grandchild. General Zhao brought his legitimate son and grandson Zhao Ke to his side to raise him personally. The Zhao family finally saw hope. However, he did not expect that a few years ago, Zhao Ke actually contracted a strange disease, and his health was getting worse and worse. There were rumors that he could not live to be eighteen years old. Yesterday, the prince asked us to investigate the Zhao family, but it was revealed that Zhao Ke was able to get up and practice martial arts with physical strength."
It seems that everything revolves around Zhao Ke. Perhaps all the breakthroughs are Zhao Ke. It seems that she must see Zhao Ke with her own eyes.
However, in ancient times, men and women had great defense, so it would be difficult for her to see Zhao Ke.
Forget it, the generals came to block the water and soil, so she went to see the Zhao family's form before making a decision.
When I was in Zhao's Mansion, the people in the Zhao family were having dinner, but the population of each courtyard was relatively large, so I didn't eat together.
Now the most favored person in front of the emperor is the son of Prince Yi, who is also the one who has the highest reputation for choosing the prince. It is too late for everyone to curry favor with him. Who dares to truly neglect the princess of Qin Yiyan?
Because of the morning court, the biggest figure in the family was the general's wife, Zhao He, a talented woman who was famous in the capital back then.
She is the first-class lady of the imperial edict given by the late emperor, so she doesn't have to kneel down and recite it for the fifth time.
Just a slight nod, "See Princess of the Sea."
"The general's wife doesn't have to be too polite. Today's abrupt appearance is mainly because there is something I want to verify."
Zhao He's heart couldn't help but sank slightly. He immediately thought that the girl Zhao Xinyi didn't push Mu Yunyao into the lake a few days ago, but instead cheated the little princess of Prince Yi's mansion. But at this time, she could only pretend that she didn't know anything, "I don't know what Princess Yi is about?"
"Two days ago, my brother and sister of the Mu family, and your girl Xinyi, went to Lixin Lake to visit the lake. I fell into the water and was unconscious. I thought it was just an accident, but when my girl Linglong woke up, I told me that it was your girl Xinyi who pushed us Linglong to Lixin Lake. What kind of education did the Zhao family teach such a vicious child? But because we Linglong has never been a child who can lie, I naturally want to come and verify. I want to ask what happened to your girl Xinyi that day?"
Zhao He knew that Princess Yi was not good at coming, but just didn't tell them about it.
"What happened like this?" Zhao He said to himself in surprise.
"Yes, I am here to understand the situation today. If we Linglong lie, I will not spare her. But if this matter is really done by your Xinyi, don't blame me for being rude. We Linglong are the only princess in the Royal Palace and the emperor's granddaughter. What kind of deep hatred can the two children be pushed to Linglong into the water?" The fifth thought changed, and her solemn and stern expression was solemn and stern.
Seeing her like this, Zhao He was suddenly a little nervous.
"Princess Princess, the old woman dares to use her life to guarantee her. Our Zhao family's children will never do such a damning thing."
"Madam General, please invite Zhao Xinyi to come up, so I can understand the situation."
They came suddenly and did not give Zhao's mansion any preparation at all. Mrs. Zhao looked in trouble, "Princess Yi, you see, it's a coincidence. Our family was frightened. She followed her mother back to her grandfather's house that day, so she hasn't come back yet today. Why don't this be so good? We will inform them later. After we come back, I will take them to Prince Yi's mansion in person and explain it clearly to you?"
Wu Nian pretended to be pondered for a moment, and then said, "The General's wife is not young anymore. She only has a cup of tea. I will sit here and wait."
The general's wife was embarrassed. She was the noble Princess of Ai. They naturally couldn't get in with them, so they could only laugh with each other. "I'm not bothering Princess Ai. I'm here to wait. Come up with the snacks and tea in our mansion."
"Thanks."
Soon a girl served snacks and tea. The fifth Nian took the tea bowl with ease and ate the tea quietly. In Zhao He's eyes, he had already made up his mind to seek justice.
Zhao He smiled at Di Wu Nian, and then summoned the maid beside him, "Go to Li's mansion to invite Xinyi and his daughter back, don't let Princess Ai wait for a long time."
The fifth thought smiled, "I'm here for you."
Zhao Heshi looked panicked and his head turned quickly, thinking about how he could solve the trouble of Princess Ai.
The old and the young were chatting indiscriminately. As for what they were talking about, I'm afraid Zhao He couldn't remember it. He then gave a wink at his other maid. Let's talk about it, and you should think of a solution as soon as possible.
The eldest maid was also very anxious. After filling the tea, she left the room and summoned a group of little maids under her command to find a way as soon as possible. If this matter is investigated seriously, their Zhao family will not get any benefits.
The Mu family is easy to talk about, and they are the enemy, but if they are the royal palace, they are really royal relatives, so their identities are naturally different.
Before he could come up with a good solution, the servants reported that Young Master Zhao Ke was sick again and was coming in full force. The mage who treated Young Master Zhao Ke has returned to the door in the past two days and is not at the Zhao family at all.
Zhao Ke is all the hope of the Zhao family, and the eldest maid hurried into the inner hall, "Madam, it's not good."
Zhao He was shocked all over, and a hint of joy almost flashed across his face, "The princess must not be presumptuous in front of him. What happened?"
"Madam, Young Master Ke is sick again."
Zhao He was stunned, then glared at his maid fiercely and asked her to find a way, but she didn't want her to come up with such a way to curse her grandson. She was in poor health and even thin. If something really happened to someone, she would definitely not be able to spare this girl.
When the maid saw the old lady's expression, she knew that she thought it was her own procrastination plan, and she couldn't help but be anxious, "Old lady, Young Master Ke is sick, but Master Wuyan is not here, what should we do?"
Zhao He immediately understood that the maid who was following her would not say such words unless the matter was true and she would not care about the princess at this time. It was hard for her to be so old that she could still jog along the way with her skirt.
Wu Nian was stunned. Of course, she must not be missing when watching the fun.
