When Cai Qingyun received the announcement that he would abdicate the throne today, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and the tea spilled all over the floor.
"Calm down, why make such a fuss. With the emperor's love and trust in the prince, this will happen sooner or later." Qu Lin said in a deep voice. After Cai Qingyun was sent to the Taoist temple, she was also treated by Mrs. Hou, who had always disliked her.
Sent them together.
Cai Qingyun pursed her lips, "My daughter also knows this truth, but the prince's status will become more stable in the future."
Qu Lin said: "He will no longer be the prince in ten days."
It is impossible for the emperor to die suddenly within these ten days. The emperor's body looks like he can survive another year or two.
"From the very beginning, we had no hope that the emperor could depose the prince." So they also took a tortuous route, such as giving Rong Zhao sterilization medicine to make him childless, and finally had to adopt him from his brother.
Otherwise, it would be an accident that would cause Rong Zhao to die early.
It would be easy for them to plot against the third prince. There are no other princesses favored by him in the palace. If they attack him first, it will be easy to scare the snake. Besides, unless something happens to Rong Zhao, it will not be the third prince's turn. But Rong Zhao
Over there... As the prince, he has always been closely protected. If they had the ability to reach out to him, there would be no need for them to plan hard here.
Seeing her frown, Qu Lin comforted her, "You don't need to be too impatient. If you can't touch Rong Zhao, can't you touch the woman next to him?"
Cai Qingyun's face changed slightly, "Are you talking about the quasi-Crown Princess Han Luyan?"
No, now she is already a queen-to-be.
Cai Qingyun became even more disgusted with Han Luyan when she thought that she didn't even have the status of Crown Prince Liangyuan. She couldn't understand why the royal family chose Han Luyan, a rude woman who liked to play with guns and sticks, as the crown prince.
Qu Lin smiled slightly, "Han Luyan's cousin came to the capital, and one of the maids serving her is one of ours."
Cai Qingyun's eyebrows widened and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, "I heard that Han Luyan's cousin was mistreated by her sister-in-law because her parents died, so she went to Beijing to join her aunt. Her appearance is still better than Han Luyan's.
I don’t believe she wouldn’t be moved at all watching her cousin’s rise to prominence.”
If they can instigate a fight between their cousins, Han Luyan's reputation will be destroyed. If they drug Han Luyan in the future, they can also put the blame on her cousin.
…
Han family.
Han Luyan's cousin Wang Huan'er sat on the edge of the bed a little tiredly.
Today she accompanied her cousin to the palace for a banquet. Although she met a lot of noble people, she was worried about embarrassing her cousin. She was more tired mentally than physically.
Her maid Fuling brought her hot water and helped her wash off the makeup on her face, revealing a clear and beautiful face.
Finally, she went to the kitchen to get a portion of stewed bird's nest. Wang Huan'er didn't use much at the banquet, so she was really hungry. She didn't have a big appetite, but after one cup of bird's nest, her stomach was full.
"Okay, you don't have to wait on me all the time, go and rest." She said softly.
Fuling shook her head and asked curiously: "Miss, is the palace as magnificent as in the storybook?"
The palace...
Seeing her innocent and expectant look, Wang Huan'er told her about the scene in the palace with a slight smile on her lips.
Poria sighed: "The palace is so nice. Only lucky people can live in such a place. It would be great if you, miss, can enter the palace in the future."
The smile on Wang Huan'er's face faded, "You can't say that. I'm just like a plum blossom. How can I have such a blessing?"
Fu Ling said: "My cousin, won't you be able to live in the palace for a long time in the future? She is definitely the queen. Miss, you are old enough and you should make plans for your future. If your wife decides to betroth you to her natal family,
Brother, the rest of your life will be ruined." The wife she mentioned was Wang Huan'er's sister-in-law.
Wang Huan'er's parents loved her. Even though her marriage was undecided, her parents still prepared her dowry before her death. Wang Huan'er's dowry was quite large. After entering the family, her sister-in-law always felt that her dowry was too rich and robbed the Wang family.
To her, her eyes are not her eyes, and her nose is not her nose. As for her brother... after they get married, he is no longer her brother. Wang Huan'er thought, her brother probably thought the same way, otherwise why would he never stop her?
His sister-in-law probably just said what was on his mind.
Thinking of his brother and sister-in-law, as well as his unknown future, Wang Huan'er's face darkened.
Poria looked at his expression and continued to play the drum beside her, "It would be great if the lady could stay with my cousin for a long time. My cousin treats you well and will definitely protect you."
Wang Huan'er's face changed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? My cousin will be the mother of the world in the future. How can I be qualified to stay by her side for the rest of my life?"
Unless she also enters the palace and becomes the emperor's concubine. Although it is not uncommon in the royal family for sisters to share the same husband, there are even concubines who take the initiative to let sisters into the palace in order to maintain their favor. But Wang Huan'er knows that her cousin is not that kind of person, and she does not want to hurt her.
Cousin's heart. She hopes to be the rightful lady in the future.
Fu Ling quickly slapped her mouth and said, "This slave drank some wine and started talking nonsense."
"Misfortune comes from the mouth, don't say these words again."
Wang Huan'er looked at Fu Ling seriously. Fu Ling looked a little guilty, lowered her head and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have said anything nonsense. If it damages the reputation of the young lady, I will definitely bear the blame."
Wang Huan'er smiled and said: "Okay, I know you are doing it for my own good, so I just pretend I haven't heard these words."
Poria cocos served Wang Huan'er to sleep.
When she went to rest on the couch, Wang Huan'er opened her eyes, deep in thought.
The next morning, Wang Huan'er went to her cousin with her embroidered purse. Her cousin said that she liked her embroidery work. Wang Huan'er was grateful to her for taking her out of Wang's house and took the time to do embroidery work for her.
During this process, she sent Poria Cocos to fetch the hook that she had deliberately left in the room, and winked at her cousin.
Han Luyan understood this and moved the people around her away.
Wang Huan'er held her purse in her hand, and after saying a few words about the female celebrity, she lowered her voice and repeated what Fuling said last night.
"I don't think Fu Ling would say this for no reason. I'm afraid someone wants her to tell me. It's just that my sister really doesn't know who is eyeing our sisters and trying to provoke us." With her ability, she is afraid that she will tell her to me.
If the investigation did not produce any results, the people behind it would be alerted. Wang Huan'er simply told her cousin to prepare herself mentally.
Han Luyan frowned, "I'm afraid it's the outside forces." They thought that this would arouse their cousin's ambitions, but they really underestimated her cousin's character.
What troubles Han Luyan is that the Han family's power base is not in the capital... If they want to kill the enemy on the battlefield, the Han family deserves no one. But if they are allowed to compete with other forces... this is blind.
Got it!
Han Luyan said: "You can ask the princess for help with this matter!"
