After Yu Wenhao scolded him like this, everyone knew that it was the Su family who sent Fourth Master Leng in order to marry the princess and consolidate their status. That's why so many unfavorable rumors about Fourth Master spread out in just a few days.
People watching the excitement don't think it's a big deal. No one cares about the truth or the lie anyway, and the prince protects his sister-in-law regardless of his identity. Where can there be lies? So, if it is passed down to ten, it will be passed down to a hundred, and the Su family will become
The target of public criticism.
King Ji never thought that there would be so many twists and turns hidden in this. He just wanted to please the Queen Mother. Now the Su family has sinister intentions. He regretted getting a piece of shit and getting himself beaten. When he saw Yu Wenhao
He wanted to eat someone's face, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he walked away dejectedly with his tail between his legs.
The Su family thought that the Queen Mother would come to uphold justice. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother did not send anyone. King Ji also left. The Su family could not bear Yu Wenhao's anger, so they all left.
Man'er went back to report to Yuan Qingling. He was so excited that the people of the Su family were beaten up by the prince like dogs in water.
Yuan Qingling couldn't laugh at all and asked Man'er, "Where is Your Highness?"
"After the people from the Su family left, His Highness also went out. I don't know where he went." Man'er said.
Yuan Qingling sighed softly. "I know."
He should have entered the palace. It is impossible for the Queen Mother to just sit back and do nothing to the Su family, and she also prevented people from the Su family from continuing to find someone to enter the palace to exchange news with the Concubine Xian.
During this Chinese New Year, Concubine Xian really made a fuss, and the princess's wedding had not yet been held, so it was really hard for the Emperor to take action.
Yu Wenhao had indeed entered the palace. He went to the Queen Mother's Palace to apologize.
The Queen Mother did not see him and asked him to kneel outside.
The cold wind blew, and he knelt in the snow, motionless.
Someone from the palace went to report to Emperor Ming Yuan, but Emperor Ming Yuan just sighed softly and said there was nothing he could do to help.
He knew very well that Lao Wu had to bear the charge of unfilial piety for him. The Su family was like a fish bone stuck in his throat.
It's because of unfilial piety. They don't touch the Su family, they don't know how to restrain themselves, they push themselves too far, and they even plot something secretly with the virtuous concubine. It's simply abominable.
Especially at this juncture, he was even more constrained. Lao Wu stepped forward and did this for him, and he suffered on his behalf.
I hope the old lady feels sorry for her grandson and is reluctant to let the fifth child feel wronged.
Over at the Su family, several ladies came to ask to see the Queen Mother, but they were all stopped. Not being able to see the Queen Mother, and not being able to see the virtuous concubine, the people in the Su family were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Just when there was no way to ask for help, Empress Chu ordered Eunuch Zhang from the inner palace to go out of the palace to do some business. When she saw the eldest lady of the Su family's sedan chair outside, she stepped forward to greet her.
The eldest lady of the Su family recognized Eunuch Zhang and knew that he was from the inner palace. She felt as if she had seen a savior. She quickly asked her father-in-law to inform the concubine Xian on her behalf. How could the father-in-law dare? Naturally, she refused in every possible way. Mrs. Su secretly stuffed the silver
I almost knelt down and begged for the ticket.
Eunuch Zhang had no choice but to pull his wife to the corner and lowered his voice: "Our family has received a lot of care from the Concubine Xian in recent years. Now that the Su family is in trouble, our family can't just sit back and watch. However, our family's abilities are limited, so we can only help.
Madam, please send a message to Qingyu Palace, but what happens next, our family really has no choice, and the eldest madam must not drag our family into trouble, our family really cannot afford it."
When Mrs. Su heard that he was willing to pass on the message, she naturally made every possible promise that she would never betray her father-in-law.
Only then did Eunuch Zhang agree to the matter and asked Mrs. Su to go back and wait for news.
Eunuch Zhang sent Mrs. Su away without going out to do anything. He went back to the Central Palace to see Empress Chu.
Today Princess Wenjing brought her child into the palace. When she heard that Eunuch Zhang was coming, Empress Chu asked Princess Wenjing to take her child into the inner palace first.
After Eunuch Zhang entered the palace, he knelt down and reported: "Mother, as you expected, the Su family really asked the old slave to send a message to the Concubine Xian."
Empress Chu snorted coldly, "I have suspected this for a long time. If the concubine was seriously ill, why would she not summon the imperial doctor? The princess would not often come to the palace for diagnosis and treatment. I knew there was something fishy, but I didn't expect that the emperor would deal with it.
she."
"Then..." Eunuch Zhang hesitated for a moment, "Do you still want to inform Concubine Xian? If the emperor has already been determined to deal with Concubine Xian, there is really no need for the empress to rush through this troubled water."
Chu Hou's face was condensed, "No, Eunuch Zhang, I have done too many merciless things to end up in such an embarrassing position today. I can no longer take risks. The prince's biological mother must die to have no worries. You
Think of a way to send a message to the people in Qingyu Palace, saying that the prince burned down the Su family's house and killed several people. He also said that the Queen Mother also supported the prince's behavior, and then spent some money to take care of the guards in Qingyu Palace. If Concubine Xian made a fuss
Get up and go out, so that they don't have to try too hard to stop you."
Eunuch Zhang accepted the order and said, "Yes, I will do it now." After saying that, he resigned and left.
After Eunuch Zhang left, Princess Wenjing took the child out from behind the screen. She asked someone to take the child out, sat down next to Empress Chu, frowned and said: "Empress, why do you need to get involved in this whirlpool?
?”
Empress Chu sighed, "Why would the empress be willing? But we can't allow any mistakes now. Concubine Xian must die. If she doesn't die, how can I feel at ease?"
Princess Wenjing also sighed, "Queen mother, you are confused. You got involved today. How will you face him if Lao Wu knows about it in the future? He will have to bear the infamy of killing his mother."
"Why is he the one responsible? The Emperor has long wanted to kill the Concubine Xian." Empress Chu's brows were twitching, trying to find excuses for herself.
"Of course it's him. Concubine Xian will definitely make a big fuss this time. Emperor Father is determined not to tolerate her. Concubine Xian still has a chance of survival now, but if she makes such a fuss, she will really be doomed. This matter is caused by the prince.
The rise of the Su family, do you think it is the prince's fault? Although the virtuous concubine is hateful, neither the prince nor you dare to interfere with it. I don't know who is so harmful and asked the prince to come forward at this juncture. The prince is also confused.
, the Su family has been dying for many years, can’t he leave it to the father to deal with it? "
Princess Wenjing said, stamping her feet repeatedly.
Empress Chu pressed Naoren'er and felt a little breathless, "No, the emperor will not deal with the Su family. The emperor is a filial son, how can he deal with the Su family? It has been dealt with in recent years. The Su family is
It's not a good idea, and you only have a good concubine to stir up troubles, but your father is blindly conniving, and only now is he assigned a Su Dahe. If the good concubine doesn't make trouble to death, the emperor can't punish the Su family, and he can't punish the good concubine.
Although the prince has suffered from infamy, he will act more efficiently in the future and will no longer be able to influence him. Strictly speaking, this is also a good thing, and I also helped him, didn't I?"
After hearing this, Princess Wenjing sighed, "Mother, how are you helping the prince? You are trying to defeat him. If he makes a mistake, can the seventh child be the prince? If the seventh child cannot be the prince,
, which of the other promising ones is a fuel-efficient lamp? Can you cope with it in the future? "
After hearing this, Empress Chu panicked and said, "Are you also alarmist? How can you defeat him? The emperor still feels that he is indebted to him."
