Chapter 167: Explain in detail the pros and cons of the situation
The emperor’s eldest grandson’s full moon banquet ended unhappy.
The emperor went to the Queen's Palace, and Lan Ning and others also came to Furong Palace.
Mrs. Lan asked for the Heart-Replenishing Pill when she entered the door: "It's really scary, it made me sweat all over!"
"Help Madam to rest on the short couch!" Concubine Fu said, "Hurry and get the medicine."
Mrs. Lan is not Lan Ning’s biological mother, but Master Lan’s successor.
But speaking of it, she is also Lan Ning's cousin. Master Lan was afraid of wronging his children, so when he remarried, he specifically chose someone from the Yue family.
"The child is asleep, go to the inner room with her in your arms!" Lan Ning said to Zi Yan who was holding her child.
Here Mrs. Lan is still chattering about how terrifying the scene was.
Lan Ning glanced at Xue Hengzhao, and her meaning was very clear. You can never count on such a person at a critical moment.
Concubine Fu had something to ask Lan Ning, but since Mrs. Lan was in front of her, she had to choose the irrelevant ones first.
After drinking two cups of tea, Concubine Fu said to Mrs. Lan, "Madam was also frightened today. Please go back and calm down!"
Also called Bishu: "Bring a few mother-of-pearl pills to Madam. Taking one pill before going to bed can help people sleep peacefully."
"Thank you, Madam, I was really scared today. When Ning'er gave birth last month, I was so scared that I fainted.
Now that I've had this scare again, I feel more and more pain in my chest." Mrs. Lan said, "Amitabha, God bless me, don't let anything go wrong again."
After sending away Mrs. Lan, Concubine Fu kicked out all the irrelevant people.
"Tell me, what is going on?" Concubine Fu looked at Lan Ning and then at Xue Hengzhao and asked.
"Mother, because the situation that day was so dangerous, my daughter-in-law couldn't bear to cause trouble to you by listening to it.
What's more, it's safe in the end, so I didn't let Aunt Qi and Heng Zhao tell you too many details. I didn't mean to deceive you, and I hope my mother and concubine can forgive me." Lan Ning knelt down and said.
"Get up and don't kneel down all the time." Concubine Fu said, "It's only been a few days since confinement, so you have to be careful."
Xue Hengzhao stepped forward and helped Lan Ning up.
"In the eyes of outsiders, this matter is a malicious fabrication and frame-up by Ma Feiyan and others, but I know it's not that simple," Concubine Fu looked at Xue Hengzhao and said, "I sent you there that day just to guard against anything unexpected.<
/p>
With your scheming and planning, you would never let such a thing happen, but it happened and it caused such a big fuss."
Xue Hengzhao knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is so wise that I can't hide it from your eyes."
"Don't talk sweetly to me. It's not that I'm smart, but that I know you're not a fuel-efficient person." Concubine Fu glared at Xue Hengzhao, "I guess this was probably your idea."
"The prince's concubine narrowly escaped death that day. The servant thought that the Ma family was still determined to keep an eye on her. She didn't know when she would take action again, so she tried to eliminate the trouble as much as possible."
I advocate not to do anything related to the prince’s concubine.”
"You get up too! Although I don't want to cause trouble, I'm not unreasonable.
You are saving my grandson, including me and my son and daughter-in-law." Concubine Fu said, "Besides, you have helped us more than once."
"Mother Concubine, this plan of killing three birds with one stone (three means false fingers, means multiple intentions) was indeed the idea of Hengzhao.
Ma Feiyan and the others did everything they could to prevent me from giving birth to a child smoothly.
My mother and sister-in-law don't take care of things. No wonder they are not my blood relatives after all, so they are afraid that something will happen and I will complain.
Thanks to you for sending Heng Zhao, she found out that the ghost mother-in-law was good at treating difficult childbirths, so she overcame all opinions and brought him here.
After the child was born, I begged you to find a way to save our mother and child.
I was really forced to do nothing. Thinking that one day Ma Feiyan might kill this child, I was so frightened that I dared not close my eyes.
For so many years, we have been so cautious that we dare not offend anyone. But now we can’t even if we want to keep ourselves safe. This would be too much bullying.”
"But aren't you afraid that Ma Feiyan will notice something wrong with this move?" Concubine Fu asked.
"No, Ma Feiyan is impetuous, and this matter is what she cares about most.
It's like a starving dog. As soon as he sees something to eat, he immediately rushes for it without even thinking about whether the food is poisonous or not.
Furthermore, that Hu Laoba is not colluding with us. Ma Feiyan must be suspicious of him and will definitely question him repeatedly.
But after asking and asking, it didn't look like he was lying, and by this time, my suspicion had already subsided.
Moreover, although Hu Laoba did not see it in person, the things he said can be matched from beginning to end.
For example, he mentioned the ghost grandmother and how she left in the middle of the night carrying a bamboo basket through the back door.
The people Ma Feiyan sent to monitor saw everything clearly.
Then they will naturally seek further verification. It is impossible to confront anyone in the fifth prince's house, so naturally they can only confront the ghost mother-in-law.
But we had already told the ghost mother-in-law in advance. When we got there, we pretended to be secretive, and when we were frightened, we said it was true.
She confessed immediately, and what she said was right and completely consistent with what Hu Laoba said.
And these two people have never met before, so there is no possibility of collusion. In this way, Ma Feiyan is 70% convinced that this matter is true.
Is the remaining three points because she originally hoped that this thing would be true?
People are like this, they believe what they want to believe.
As long as she has the opportunity to take revenge, she will never let it go.
Besides, she wouldn't have thought that we would fabricate rumors about the emperor's grandson being replaced. Wouldn't that mean we are causing trouble for ourselves?
Putting these things together, she believed that this thing couldn't be more true."
"Actually, this is the bait you set, specifically to lure her in." Concubine Fu said.
"Your Majesty is right. Ma Feiyan led her people to make a scene in front of the imperial court because she wanted to make sure the report was accurate.
But I didn't expect that we have the two most important things in our hands. One is the ghost mother-in-law, she is originally one of ours. The other is the birthmark on the emperor's grandson's left arm. Having this is tantamount to having ironclad evidence." Xue Hengzhao smiled and said, "Yes.
If they do these two things, the emperor will never listen to them again. At this point, Ma Feiyan has put herself in a deadlock."
"Even so, I feel that making such a fuss is too conspicuous. I'm afraid it will cause more trouble in the future." Concubine Fu said worriedly.
"What I saw is very true, but I have also discussed it with the fifth prince and the concubine. After all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Doing this would indeed publicly quarrel with Ma Feiyan and others, and also allow people to see the birthmark on the emperor's grandson's left arm, which might arouse the jealousy of the queen and others.
But even if we don’t do this, Ma Feiyan will eventually harm us, and there’s no way he’ll stop just because we tolerate it.
As for the queen, since the emperor's grandson is still young, even if she is wary, it won't be too deep.
Secondly, even if the emperor's grandson does not have this birthmark, she will not show mercy if she wants to take action in the future.
So having these two concerns means not having them."
