The Duke's wife nodded with a smile, turned around and said to the maid behind her: "Go and bring a chair for Princess Rui." After giving the instructions, she turned around and looked at Yun Shang, "How are you, the little baby in your belly lately?
Did he bother you?"
Yun Shang shook her head and said with a smile: "I feel very good. During this period of pregnancy, except for feeling a little sleepy, I can eat and drink without any problems, and I have never had any symptoms of happiness."
"Yes, you know how to be considerate of your mother at such a young age, and you will definitely be a sensible person when you grow up." The Duke's wife laughed when she heard what Yun Shang said.
The maid carried the chair out, and Yun Shang sat down next to the Duke's wife.
Yun Shang remembered Liu Yinfeng's words before, and raised her eyes to look at the children who were reading the military book. After thinking for a moment, she spoke: "I just met Mr. Liu Yinfeng on the way here. Let's chat with him."
After a few sentences, I don’t know why, but I ended up talking about the Seventh Prince..."
Hearing this, the Duke's wife turned around and looked at Yun Shang, "Oh? What's wrong with the Seventh Prince?"
"It's nothing. Isn't the Concubine Liu's incident so serious recently? The Seventh Prince knelt outside the Tai Chi Hall for two days a few days ago. Because of this incident, I also remembered the time when I was in Ningguo. I don't know.
Did my grandfather tell my grandmother about some of the things that happened in Ningguo before?" Yun Shang considered the words carefully, looking at the expression of the Duke's wife from time to time.
The Duke's wife turned her head and shook her head: "I never mentioned it."
Yun Shang then continued: "The death of the prince was actually done by the Seventh Prince together with Li Jingyan and Cang Jue Qingsu. Calculating it, the Seventh Prince should be the mastermind. At that time, because the Seventh Prince wanted to blame Qingyan, Qingyan
Then he captured the Seventh Prince and imprisoned him in the palace. His Majesty personally came to the door and asked Qingyan to release the Seventh Prince."
When Yun Shang saw the Duke's wife slightly frowning, she paused, and then continued: "At that time, I was a little strange about Your Majesty's attitude towards the Seventh Prince. It seemed a little too indulgent."
"I have made some inquiries before, saying that it is related to Concubine Liu. I feel a little confused. Logically speaking, your majesty is the most sorry for Qing Yan. Why did you treat the seventh prince... I wonder what is hidden in this.
What?" Yun Shang raised her head and asked softly.
Hearing this, the Duke's wife sneered at the corner of her mouth, and after a long while, she sighed, "These are all old things. In fact, at that time, your grandfather and I basically had no interest in worldly affairs, and we didn't know much about it.
Since you want to know, I’ll tell you and let you know.”
The maid placed a cup of fruit tea aside for Yun Shang. Yun Shang stretched out her hand to test the heat and coldness of the fruit tea, then withdrew her hand and listened to the Duke's wife's words.
"Concubine Liu's name is Liu Feixue. Your Majesty got to know her not long after Ling'er went there. After Ling'er went, Your Majesty never believed that Ling'er was gone. For nearly a year, he took her with him
People were looking for someone near the place where Ling'er disappeared. There were many mountains there. It was the anniversary of Ling'er's death. Your Majesty wanted to go to the place where Ling'er disappeared, so he took a few guards and went there. Unexpectedly, he got up
There was a heavy rain and the mountain road was slippery. Your Majesty accidentally slipped and fell from the hillside. It was Liu Feixue who saved him." There was no wave in the voice of the Duke's wife, but there was a hint of obvious sarcasm, and Yun Shang felt a little bit in her heart.
I was confused but didn't ask out loud.
"Liu Feixue... actually looks a lot like Ling'er. His Majesty favored her while being confused. Later, he brought her into the palace. Liu Feixue, who was originally just a butcher's daughter, quickly rose to prominence.
She was named a concubine. Concubine Liu had two miscarriages, and it was not until her fourth year in the palace that she gave birth to the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince was smart and intelligent since he was a child, and was deeply loved by His Majesty." The face of the Duke's wife suddenly frowned slightly.
frown.
"Later, when the seventh prince was five years old, something happened. It should be because of that incident that your majesty was so indulgent to the seventh prince. That day was also the anniversary of Ling'er's death. At night, your majesty went alone to meet Ling.
I went to the place where I met my son, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly fell into a demonic disease and went crazy. Concubine Liu was killed by your majesty that night, and the seventh prince was also seriously injured by your majesty, leaving the root of the disease."
The duchess sneered and said nothing for a while.
Yun Shang was a little stunned when he heard the words. These were almost completely inconsistent with the rumors Yun Shang had heard before. They all said that Concubine Liu was poisoned by the Queen, and the Seventh Prince also became a victim in the palace fight and was poisoned.
It left behind the root of the disease.
Yun Shang thought about it carefully, but felt that the Duke's wife's statement was full of loopholes and completely untenable. After a moment of silence, she finally asked, "Why did your Majesty suddenly go crazy? And His Majesty is so mad.
If Ri went to cherish the memory of his mother and concubine, even if he went crazy, why would Concubine Liu suddenly appear and be killed by His Majesty?"
Hearing this, the Duke's wife snorted again and said with a smile: "Even an outsider like you knew that this matter was very fishy, but some people believed it. They all said that Ling'er didn't want to see that His Majesty had a new man.
The ghost was causing trouble, killing Concubine Liu and injuring the Seventh Prince. Your Majesty also specially invited many Taoist priests and monks to come. Those so-called experts also said the same thing. The rumors got worse and worse, so Your Majesty killed chickens to scare monkeys and several people who spread rumors.
The gossips were ordered not to mention the matter again, and the matter came to an end, but it became a secret that cannot be told in the palace. Because of this, the master completely gave up his thoughts and never interfered with the affairs of the court."
Yun Shang finally understood why the Duke's wife had a bit of indifference in her eyes when she mentioned this matter, and even her tone was disgusting. Most of this matter was caused by someone using Queen Hua to deal with Concubine Liu and the Seventh Prince, but Your Majesty
However, she did not defend Empress Hua, nor did she even investigate the truth. She just ordered the palace to seal the matter. But the method of sealing the seal seemed to be a tacit admission that the rumors were true.
Yun Shang sighed softly and was silent for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty may not know the truth about this matter, but if we go by the time mentioned by my grandmother, it should have been shortly after Queen Su entered the palace and was at the peak of her popularity.
Moreover, Queen Su has the support of the Su Mansion, and Your Majesty still needs to rely on the Su Mansion, so he has no choice but to remain silent."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife snorted coldly, "What kind of man is he if he can't even protect the reputation of his beloved?" After saying that, he turned to look at Yun Shang, "There is absolutely no such person in our Washington. If you take it lightly,
If I dare to do this to you, just ask grandma to make the decision for you."
Yun Shang was startled by the Duke's wife's words. After a long while, she responded with an embarrassed smile.
However, the Duke's wife had already changed the topic, lying on the couch, and said casually: "That boy from the Seventh Prince is becoming more and more sinister now. You and Qingyan should be careful. But don't take it too seriously.
People who are cunning and scheming cannot achieve anything, they can only plot people behind their backs, and they have absolutely no skills in governing the country."
Yun Shang looked at the calm and carefree look of the Duke's wife, and secretly admired her in her heart. Who said that the Duke's wife was just a housewife, with such experience and courage that many men could not match.
Before Yun Shang could speak, the Duke's wife continued: "And many things cannot be taken at face value. You can see that His Majesty is very indulgent to the Seventh Prince, but it is just because of guilt. In fact, Your Majesty should have never thought about taking over the country."
Leave it to the Seventh Prince. If you really want to entrust your country to your country, you won’t just indulge in it like this..."
Yun Shang's expression was slightly startled, and she carefully understood what the Duke's wife said, but she had to admit that what the Duke's wife said was extremely reasonable. If she really wanted to entrust her with a heavy responsibility, she would definitely treat her harshly and harshly.
Instead of blindly pampering and pampering, even if you make a big mistake, you just expose it lightly.
"Has Yutong visited you recently? How is she doing in the Seventh Prince's Mansion now?" Madam Guo Gong changed her topic again and her eyes fell not far behind Yun Shang.
Yun Shang turned around and saw several young ladies from the Duke's Mansion walking over. Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then sat up straight and said with a smile: "She seems to be a little bad. She just arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday.
She came here and said that she rarely saw the Seventh Prince. It seemed that the servants in the Seventh Prince's mansion didn't take her seriously. She seemed to look away..."
"Although she looks lively and cheerful, and is very warm to others, she is not a courageous person. If she can't control the servants of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, then it is her fault. In this case, with the previous
You have to make plans for what you are talking about in advance, so as not to be overtaken by others." Mrs. Guogong ordered Yun Shang, her voice getting lower and lower.
Yun Shang responded gently, then turned to look at the young women who were walking over. Seeing that Yun Shang was there, the young women quickly walked up to Yun Shang and saluted: "Greetings to Princess Rui."
Yun Shang smiled softly: "Sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters, please get up. How can you use such courtesy in your own yard?"
The Duke's wife glanced at a few people casually, then turned her eyes to her mind, which was probably no longer on the book. Instead of looking at her mother's children, she smiled and said: "They have also been reading for more than an hour.
Okay, let’s take a rest.”
The children immediately cheered and rushed towards Yun Shang and the others. They each stood in front of their mother. Only Na Yaner walked up to Yun Shang, his eyes full of joy: "Auntie, auntie,
How is your little sister? Has she grown up?"
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. When Shen Yilan heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She walked up to Yan'er in two steps and pinched his ears and said: "Young man, if you don't put up the roof for a day, right? Your mother
Stand here, you don’t even come over to say hello, you just want to come in front of your beautiful aunt."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!" Yan'er's face wrinkled up and she screamed out in pain, "My mother, stop pinching, stop pinching, it won't look good and no little girl will like it."
Shen Yilan's face turned a little darker, but the others laughed. Yun Shang looked at the two living treasures, mother and son, and her eyes were also full of smiles. (To be continued)
