Chapter 128: It’s a conspiracy to pull the fire under the cauldron
The marriage between Yao Wanyi and the Sixth Prince has been decided.
The wedding is scheduled for three months later.
Some people say that this marriage is a bit hasty. Usually, the wedding ceremony is held half a year after the engagement, so the dowry should be carefully purchased.
Some people also say that it is not easy to deal with royal matters. What's more, Princess Maoling has been saving a dowry since her daughter was born. There is nothing she can't prepare for after more than ten or twenty years.
There are even more shameless people who say that the Lord of Toad County has finally found someone to take over. If he doesn't strike while the iron is hot, he may regret the marriage.
Princess Guangling naturally knew about it, and was planning to visit Yao Wanyi to congratulate her.
Princess Maoling and she are sisters from the same clan. Although they are not close relatives, they grew up together.
What's more, Yao Wanyi has been interested in Yu Guming since she was a child, but she has never solicited him for anything.
I thought I would take this opportunity to send some generous gifts.
Unexpectedly, Yao Wanyi came to visit first before she could go.
"I heard that my aunt was not doing well a few days ago, and I have been thinking about it." Yao Wanyi's expression lacked some of the previous enthusiasm and eagerness, but it was enough to be called polite and courteous. "I came here today to take a look and brought some supplements.
To you."
Princess Guangling took her hand and said politely: "My good child, it's really hard for me to worry about you. It's an old habit of mine, and I often make it worse, so I don't take it seriously.
Come in quickly, your mother is at home, okay? I’m also thinking about coming to your house in the next few days!
I heard that your good thing has been settled, so my aunt must congratulate you!"
Yao Wanyi's black and yellow face turned red, and she said a little shyly: "Auntie, please stop teasing me."
After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Yao Wanyi got down to business and said a few words about family matters. "Isn't Brother Gu Ming at home?"
"He stayed in the palace last night and won't come back until this afternoon!" Princess Guangling said.
"I have been holding something back in my heart for a long time. I want to say it but dare not say it. I am in a dilemma." Yao Wanyi wrung her handkerchief and said, "Actually, it is none of my business, but I thought that my aunt loves me so much. If I knew
Needless to say, I’m really sorry for you.”
When Princess Guangling heard what she said, she naturally asked: "Wanyi, if you have anything to say, it's okay for you to say it."
Yao Wanyi didn't say anything immediately, she just glanced at the people in the room.
As soon as Princess Guangling raised her hand, except for the confidants in front of her, the rest of the people serving her retreated.
Yao Wanyi then spoke: "I wonder if my aunt has ever heard of the name Xue Hengzhao?"
Princess Guangling shook her head after hearing this: "I've never heard of it."
"That's it, she is the daughter of Xue Yingchen, the former Imperial College priest."
"Why did you mention her? Hasn't their family been convicted and confiscated?" The Yu family did not have much contact with the courtiers, this was to avoid suspicion.
Xue Hengzhao was absent from the capital all year round. Even if Princess Guangling went to someone's house for a banquet, she would not be seen among the other female relatives, so she would not recognize her.
"This woman entered the palace and became a maid." Yao Wanyi continued, "But she is not very peaceful. What's even more annoying is that she got entangled with brother Gu Ming."
When Princess Guangling heard this, she was naturally surprised: "Is this true?"
Of course Yao Wanyi knew why she reacted like this. Xue Hengzhao's identity was sensitive, and Yu Guming was not involved with her. Once the emperor found out, he would definitely be angry.
"Actually, I've heard about this for a long time, and I thought it was just a rumor before.
Later, several people told me that I believed it was true.
If my aunt doesn't believe it, she can ask someone in the palace who she trusts and ask her carefully, and then she will know that what I say is true.
Besides, Xue Hengzhao is now working as an errand in Concubine Fu’s palace, and it was Brother Gu Ming who asked someone to send her in." Yao Wanyi said.
"Of course I can trust you," Princess Guangling said, "Wanyi, thank you for telling me, otherwise I would still be in the dark."
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I know it's hard to talk about it. But no matter what, I don't want it to become a big deal.
Auntie can think of a way to persuade Brother Gu Ming, don't worry yourself, if you get sick because of this, it will be my fault." Yao Wanyi said sincerely, tears flashing in her one eye.
Princess Guangling naturally wanted to thank her: "Yes, even if most people knew about it, how could they come to me and say it!
You don't treat your aunt as an outsider, and your aunt will always remember this friendship."
"Brother Gu Ming has always been filial, but he was deceived for a moment. As long as his aunt treats him with reason and affection, he will definitely be able to turn around."
"This child is born with a solitary temper," Princess Guangling said and sighed several times, "I don't care how big the relationship is. I am really ignorant!"
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Yao Wanyi didn't stay much longer. She comforted Princess Guangling for a few words and then stood up to leave.
"It's so easy for you to come here. Let's have lunch here before leaving." Princess Guangling left her alone.
In the past, Yao Wanyi would have loved to stay, but now her status is different and she is a quasi-prince and concubine.
She knew that it was impossible for Yu Guming to be tempted by her, and besides, he would never look back until he died.
Therefore, I cut off my delusions and stopped entangled.
But that doesn't mean she wants to let Xue Hengzhao go.
She originally thought that Xue Hengzhao was just a little palace maid, and she could kill her like a bed bug with just a little move of her fingers.
But I didn’t expect Xue Hengzhao to be so difficult to deal with.
In this case, let’s just use the method of removing the firewood from under the cauldron.
Princess Guangling and her wife will never allow their son to get entangled with a sin slave.
She cannot directly expose Xue Hengzhao, but Princess Guangling can use the help of Concubine Fu to get rid of this disaster.
"I still have some trivial matters to attend to, so I won't have dinner with my aunt today. I'll pick it up another day." Yao Wanyi suppressed her pride and politely left.
Princess Guangling sent her out and watched her get into the car.
"County Master, Xue can't run away this time," Xiuzhu said in relief, "We can finally vent our anger."
"That bitch knows how to play tricks. This time I won't play tricks with her, I will deal with her openly and openly!" Yao Wanyi smiled proudly, "If she has the ability, she will kill Princess Guangling, so no one can stop her.
She got it."
"Unless she is crazy, if she dares to do this, not only will she die without a burial place, but the Crown Prince will not let her go." Hanxiang curled her lips, "I think it is Princess Guangling who should kill her."<
/p>
Besides, after Yao Wanyi left, Princess Guangling couldn't help but feel a little restless.
After thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Get the car ready, I want to go to the palace."
"Princess, I'm afraid it's not good for you to enter the palace in such a hurry, okay? Why don't you wait until the prince comes back to ask for details?" Bimu, the maid in front of Princess Guangling, advised.
"Don't worry, I'm not that reckless." Princess Guangling took a breath and said, "That kid Ming'er has a bad temper. If you have something, you can't ask him first.
When I enter the palace, I will first make some insinuations so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
