The Marquis of Zhenbei said: "I'm just afraid of causing trouble to the empress and the tenth prince. Otherwise, I'm not afraid. At most, it's my life and my head. Well, Your Highness, please stop scolding me. The old lady has already scolded me to death."
"You should go back and think about it carefully. Who was there that day? Who did not inform Empress Hu when they heard what you said, but now they have informed the father. No matter what, this person must be found out."
"It needs to be investigated. Can your Highness go to the palace tomorrow and say a few words to me in front of the emperor?" In the past, Zhenbeihou would act like his father-in-law in front of the emperor, but now he is really afraid, fearing that he will harm his daughter.
and the tenth prince.
"No, my father will believe you, but you must ask clearly." Zhenbei Hou has no tricks, and his father knows better than him. He paused and said: "But before you meet the saint, you should send someone
Send a message to Empress Hu and tell her this matter, otherwise she won't know the truth. If you are summoned to the palace tomorrow to question this matter, she will think you are innocent and there is no chance of causing trouble."
"Now that there is no order, I can't enter the palace. Can you trouble Your Highness to ask the Crown Princess to come for me?" Zhenbei Hou actually lowered his face and begged.
Yu Wenhao knew that Concubine Hu had a strong temperament. If she didn't know anything, she would really cause trouble later, so he said: "Well, I will send someone back to inform the Crown Princess and ask her to enter the palace to see Empress Hu as soon as possible."
"Thank you, thank you, Your Highness!" The Marquis of Zhenbei whined. He really didn't know why he was acting like this.
Yu Wenhao frowned lightly, looking at Zhenbei Hou like this, how can he still look like the high-spirited general he once was? This capital really does not raise military generals, and is cautious in its conduct, fearing that it will be pulled by the tail, which will only damage its ambition.
But there was nothing that could be done, because military generals always had bad habits, which were the most disliked by civil servants, especially the slightly arrogant arrogance of military generals. In addition, Concubine Hu was favored, so how many pairs of eyes were staring at him?
If you don't make this mistake today, there will be other mistakes tomorrow. You can't escape unless you are outside.
Yuan Qingling heard the report and hurried into the palace to tell Concubine Hu about it.
Concubine Hu never dreamed that it was her father who instigated her, so she was so angry that she burst into tears, "No wonder on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I sent a petition saying that I wanted to invite my mother's family to the palace, but the emperor refused. It turned out to be because of this."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Did the Emperor know about it on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"
"I must know, otherwise why would I refuse? In the past, he was very happy for my mother-in-law's family to come to the palace to accompany me." Concubine Hu originally felt very aggrieved, but now, her face was pale, and she looked at Yuan Qing Ling asked
Said: "Tell me, will the emperor believe my father? Is it unintentional to believe him?"
Yuan Qingling comforted and said: "It's hard to say whether the emperor believed it before, but he must believe it now. Think about it, the emperor already knew about it on the fourth day of the new year, but he didn't let the Marquis come into the palace to question him. This shows that he must have investigated it privately.
, I only asked him to come into the palace to give him a few words of warning after making sure nothing happened."
Concubine Hu said in panic: "Then what if after investigation we find that he has this intention?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "How could it be? The Marquis definitely doesn't have this intention, and if the emperor thinks that he does, he will not point it out, but suppress it secretly. Now that he can be summoned to the palace for questioning, he must be convinced.
He, I want to give him a few words of warning and ask him to be cautious in what he says in the future. After all, this concerns the Tenth Prince, and the Emperor also cares about it, and is unwilling to cause trouble for the Tenth Prince."
After listening to Yuan Qingling's analysis, Concubine Hu felt that it made sense. She breathed a sigh of relief and then said bitterly: "Father, it's true. I told him several times to tell him not to speak to anyone.
We need to be more cautious. Now that he is working for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have gained favor in the palace, there will be people who want to see us in trouble. He just didn't pay attention. Something really happened this time, right? Hey, I'd better ask the emperor to transfer him away.
Let’s go to the capital, otherwise with his temperament, bigger things will happen in the future.”
