Princess Wenjing shook her head and said with a helpless expression: "Lao Wu is a very emotional person. If Concubine Xian is sentenced to death by her father because of this incident, Lao Wu will be burdened with it and unable to recover. How can it be easily taken advantage of?
Moreover, what you asked Eunuch Zhang to say... is really ridiculous. No one in the Su family has died at all. If Concubine Xian heard this, wouldn't she go crazy?"
Empress Chu disagreed with her words, "Do you mean that the virtuous concubine should not die?"
Princess Wenjing said: "I don't dare to discuss whether she should die or not, but my father has a sense of proportion. The prince could have stayed away from it. The worst result would have been when his father executed the virtuous concubine."
, he had some rifts with his father, but he would understand in his heart that his father had no choice but to do this, and he would eventually let go of the past grievances. But now that his father has gone out, Lao Wu brought down the Su family and offended the emperor's grandmother.
How do you want him to face the crime of killing his mother and concubine?"
"If a person who achieves great things cannot survive these things, how will he be able to take charge of his family, country, and world in the future?"
Empress Chu still thought she was right, but she was very panicked for no reason.
Princess Wenjing sighed repeatedly, knowing that she could not convince the queen mother, so she stopped talking. Moreover, Eunuch Zhang had already gone to Qingyu Palace. No one could predict how far this matter would develop.
However, Concubine Xian still doesn't know that a disaster is coming. She must be relying on the fact that she is the biological mother of the prince, and Ling'er is getting married soon, so the emperor will definitely not kill her. She thinks that she still has the capital to fight.
What the fuss is about, only the devil knows.
Empress Chu thought for a while and asked someone to go to the Queen Mother to find out if the Queen Mother was willing to see the Prince.
After a while, someone came back to report that the prince was still kneeling in the courtyard.
Empress Chu's face turned pale, "Are you still kneeling?
It's already night, how can the Queen Mother be willing to do this?"
Princess Wenjing couldn't sit still. She felt sorry for her brother, so she hurriedly put on her cloak and took a small stove to warm her hands and went over.
After dark, snow actually started to fall, and the north wind blew loudly, blowing on her face like a knife. Princess Wenjing gathered her clothes and hurried over with two palace attendants.
When she arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, she saw a man kneeling under the swaying wind lantern, as motionless as a stone sculpture. The snow fell so that his hair and shoulders were dyed white. She felt pain in her heart, and hurriedly took off her cloak and tied it for him.
Then he put the small hand warmer into his arms.
Yu Wenhao's hands and feet were so cold from the cold. When he saw that it was Princess Wenjing, his lips trembled a few times before he could speak, "Sister Huang..." How had Princess Wenjing ever seen him suffer like this?
When she shed tears, she said more loudly: "Put it on, the emperor's sister will go in and ask for the emperor's grandmother!"
"No need..." "Put it on, don't be stubborn!"
After Princess Wenjing finished speaking, she immediately went in and no one in the palace was allowed to pass.
The Queen Mother sat on the Luohan bed. Her eyes were very swollen after crying a lot. Concubine De was accompanying her. When Princess Wenjing came, Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief. The old lady always loved her granddaughter and hoped she could hear a few words.
sentence.
Princess Wenjing knelt down and said, "Royal Grandmother, please calm down and stop arguing with Lao Wu."
The Queen Mother wiped her nose with a handkerchief. It was very blocked. She looked at Princess Wen Jing who was kneeling on the ground and said tiredly: "Stop kneeling and tell him to go. You don't have to kneel. This is not a big deal. No."
Is it because your mother’s family is gone?
Everyone is still alive, and thanks to the crown prince, everyone is still in good condition, so I have nothing to ask for."
Princess Wenjing's nose felt sore, she knelt down and put her hands on the Empress Dowager's knees, pleading: "Emperor Grandma, Lao Wu is being reckless in this matter, but he has been with you for a long time since he was a child. You are
Knowing his temper, he will ignore it when he is hot-headed or angry. Let's ask him to provide money to build another house for the Su family. Don't be angry with him. He knows he is wrong. He is kneeling outside.
It’s really pitiful, it’s so cold that I can’t even speak.”
"Build another mansion?"
The Queen Mother sneered, her eyes full of anger, "Is that so?
I am the current empress dowager, and my natal family ordered him to be burned. How big a crime did the Su family commit?
If people don’t leave in time, will they also be burned?
When his mind gets hot and his anger rises, will he burn down his family's mansion?
Can I burn down his Prince Chu’s Mansion?"
Concubine De also advised: "Old lady, you can't say that. The prince is probably out of anger. The Su family has done many excessive things during these days. I heard that they even found a killer to kill the prince. The prince has always loved his wife deeply.
It is possible to act harshly at the moment, but it would have happened even if it had not happened. If you vent your anger on him, you will suffer, and so will he, right?"
The Queen Mother originally knew what the Su family was doing and was not too biased to help the Su family. However, after the Su family was burned down, everything about the Su family no longer existed in her eyes. Now she just feels sick.
Humiliation, huge humiliation, even brought peace to the ancestors of her mother's family, so when Concubine De said this, she couldn't listen at all, but became even more angry, "The Su family has done some excessive things, but why doesn't the emperor punish her?"
ah?
Doesn’t the emperor have the sense to ask his prince to do it for him?
To say that he loves and cherishes his wife is not just loving and cherishing her?
It’s simply pampering, and it’s a shame that his mother and concubine are grounded and don’t know about it. If his mother and concubine knew about it, she would probably die, then he would be killing his mother and being a traitor!”
These words made Concubine De and Princess Wenjing feel panic-stricken, especially Princess Wenjing, because she knew that Concubine Xian was bound to cause a scene, and Lao Wu was outside, so he must have heard these words.
The Queen Mother became angry and couldn't hold it back. Although her nasal voice was heavy, her voice was stern, "Didn't all these things happen because of the Crown Princess?
It was because he always favored the Crown Princess that his mother-in-law became cold-hearted. She knew that he could not count on him, but could only count on her mother's family. She was also at fault. She wanted to share the Emperor's worries, so she banned the Concubine's feet and did not allow her to step on her.
After leaving Qingyu Palace, she had no hope before asking her father and brother to stand up for her. But in the final analysis, where did she go wrong?
The princess should not have married a businessman in the first place. This is an insult to the good concubine's face. No matter how good a businessman is, is he worthy of the princess?"
The more Concubine De listened, the more she felt that the old lady was stubborn. She didn't support Concubine Xian at first, but now she spoke well of Concubine Xian?
Alas, it seems that when something goes wrong, the Queen Mother will still favor the Su family and the Concubine Xian in her heart.
The Queen Mother continued to curse: "Isn't it just some insults?
He got the princess as his wife for nothing, why can't he just scold him a few times?
He is inherently unworthy of his position. He got it for free, so why can't he bear the grievance?
How can the reputation of their businessman be damaged if someone says a few words to them?
The prince wants to win over businessmen and raise their status, but he cannot disgrace the royal family and his mother-in-law like this."
The Queen Mother cursed, feeling even more sad and started to cry bitterly.
Princess Wenjing and Concubine De looked at each other helplessly, neither of them dared to say anything more. They could only keep persuading the old queen mother not to cry.
Outside, Yu Wenhao listened to these words.
He felt uncomfortable in his heart. When he went to the Su family, he knew that this would be the result. Although the imperial grandmother had not promoted anyone from the Su family in recent years, the Su family was still very important in her heart. If something happened, she would still
I couldn't help but stand with the Su family.
However, can the Su family continue to tolerate this?
How many shameful things have they done to serve as their mother’s sword?
Moreover, the fourth master was said to be infamous outside, and even Ling'er was slandered. If he didn't find the Su family to take the blame and clear the fourth master's name, what was the point of all this done by the father?
