In the small courtyard next to Ronganyuan, Hui'er came back from outside happily and told Guan Xiuyan that she had found out the news.
Guan Xiuyan just said a faint 'hmm' without raising her head and continued to embroider the handkerchief in her hand.
Seeing that Guan Xiuyan didn't respond, Hui'er hesitated for a moment and then said: "The third wife has not yet passed her filial piety period, and she actually occupied the third master to live in her room for almost a month. It is really outrageous."
Hearing this, Guan Xiuyan stopped her embroidery work: "If my cousin doesn't want to, no one can keep him." After saying that, she looked at Hui'er and said, "Misfortune comes from the mouth. Don't say those words just now." "My cousin didn't feel sorry for me because I didn't interfere with anything. If your story behind her back spreads, it will definitely annoy her, and I won't be able to save you."
Hui'er was a little frightened when she thought that the third lady had even kicked out the second lady's companion from the palace, and she quickly said: "I won't talk nonsense in the future."
"But, aunt, what should you do?"
Guan Xiuyan also looked a little confused.
What should she do?
In the past two years, she really felt that she still had a chance to win her cousin's heart, but now that she is seeing her cousin and cousin-in-law getting closer and closer, she knows that she has no chance.
In fact, as a concubine, her life is really good.
Guan Xiuyan smiled bitterly. She originally wanted to fight for herself and live like a human being, but she didn't expect that she ended up in a cocoon.
My cousin is powerful and proud, and doesn't bother to deal with her. My aunt and cousin will also take care of her because of their blood relationship, so let's live like this.
......
In the East Palace, the prince looked at Wei Yichen with a horrified face: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Wei Yichen also felt that what he said was difficult to say, but he had to tell the prince about it, so he could only bite the bullet and speak again: "Your Highness, Princess Zhaoyang is not of the blood of the late emperor."
The prince had been using crutches after breaking his leg. At this moment, when he heard Wei Yichen's words, he immediately became unsteady. Fortunately, he was close to the chair and fell directly onto the chair.
"Impossible!"
"No!"
"The imperial grandmother has always lived in the palace. The palace is heavily guarded. She has no chance to have an affair with her foreign husband..."
At this point, the prince suddenly looked at Wei Yichen: "Is he a palace guard?"
Wei Yichen nodded solemnly.
The prince gritted his teeth: "Who is it?"
Even if it is not easy to be a prince, even if you have to face all kinds of calculations and battles as soon as you are born, as a prince, the face and honor of the royal family are still engraved in your bones.
The Queen Mother is the Crown Prince's grandmother, and the Crown Prince cannot blame her, so he can only direct all his anger at the wild man.
Wei Yichen: "Prince, does he still remember Machuan?"
Prince: "Of course I remember, the old eunuch beside the imperial grandmother."
Wei Yichen: "Princess Zhaoyang's biological father is Ma Chuan's elder brother Ma Jiang. Your Highness has also met Ma Jiang."
The prince looked gloomy, waiting for Wei Yichen to continue.
Wei Yichen: "That's the monk who often lectures the Queen Mother at Baoguo Temple."
The prince laughed angrily: "It's very good, it's really good!"
That monk was no stranger to the prince at all. Every time he went to Baoguo Temple to greet the Queen Mother, he would meet him, and he also saw the Queen Mother taking Princess Zhaoyang and talking and laughing with the monk many times.
When he went there, the imperial grandmother was so careless. It is conceivable that when he was away, the imperial grandmother and the wild man probably lived as a couple directly in Baoguo Temple.
"The Imperial Grandmother doesn't care about the royal family at all!"
The prince looked at Wei Yichen coldly: "Your family has always known about the imperial grandmother and Ma Jiang, right? And they have been helping to cover it up, right?"
Wei Yichen shook his head: "Your Highness, I only found out about this recently. As for the elders in the family... I don't know when they found out."
The prince chuckled: "Grandpa would never tell me such a thing, but you did tell me today. Tell me, what happened?"
Wei Yichen looked at the prince with a solemn expression: "Chu Yao is investigating this matter."
Hearing this, the prince's face became serious, and his hands suddenly tightened.
To mess up the harem and confuse the royal bloodline is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
Once this matter is known to outsiders, he, the prince with the blood of the Wei family, will definitely be liquidated. By then, let alone his position as prince, he doesn’t know whether he will survive.
Wei Yichen continued: "In recent months, Chu Yao has been keeping an eye on Wei Guogong's mansion. At first, I thought he just wanted to take advantage of us. Anyway, everything we did has been completed, so we are not afraid of him watching. But in the end,
I never expected that he was actually looking for Machuan, and even sent secret guards to Baoguo Temple to inquire about the Queen Mother's daily life."
"Just a month ago, Chu Yao found Zhuangzi where Majiang and Machuan lived on the outskirts of Beijing. Fortunately, Dongjian was there, otherwise something big would have happened that day."
The prince looked at Wei Yichen coldly: "What happened more than a month ago, why did you tell me now?"
Wei Yichen showed a wry smile: "Because I only found out about this recently, my father originally wanted to deal with Chu Yao directly, but unfortunately he never found the chance."
The prince stood up with his crutches and walked around angrily: "You have made a mess, and now you think of being alone? Chu Yao... That guy Chu Yao is not only the commander of the Supervision Department, but also the reincarnation hall.
The elders."
"The Reincarnation Hall is specifically responsible for Qingjun's side!"
Wei Yichen also knew that if this matter was not handled well, the prince and the Wei family would be in dire straits: "Your Highness, now is not the time to pursue past mistakes. We must quickly find a way to solve the current trouble."
"Chu Yao has been recovering in the palace after being seriously injured by Dongjian. He may have noticed something, but there is absolutely no evidence. As long as we kill him, we still have a chance to suppress this matter."
The prince forced himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, sat back on the chair, and thought about how to solve this big trouble.
"Does the Royal Grandmother know what she did was exposed?"
Wei Yichen nodded: "The Queen Mother is also very anxious, but there is nothing the Queen Mother can do in the palace."
The prince's dissatisfaction with the queen mother has reached its peak at this moment. The queen mother made a huge mistake, which not only ruined the reputation of the royal family, but also put all of them in danger.
After his leg was injured, he was already in a difficult situation, but what the Queen Mother did directly dealt him a fatal blow.
"Chu Yao must die!"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. This period is the busiest time for the Supervision Department, and it is also the best time to take action. It just so happens that Chu Yao is still injured."
Wei Yichen agreed with his face, but was a little worried: "Chu Yao himself has good martial arts, and there are many masters around him. If we want to kill him, I am afraid that there will be some noise and the outcome will not be good. If possible, it is best to do it
You can trap him."
The prince squinted his eyes and suddenly asked: "I heard that Chu Yao was very good to the Shi family?"
Wei Yichen understood what the prince meant as soon as he heard this: "The informants from Prince Rong's Palace came to report that Chu Yao had been recovering from his injuries in Shi's room for the past month since he was injured. There should be a friendship between the two."
Prince: "In this case, let's find a way to capture the Shi family and use her to trap and kill Chu Yao."
