Princess Hui covered one side of her face, the other side of her face was extremely pale, her eyes were a little evasive, and she spoke in a trembling voice.
Concubine Cui said coldly: "Qin'er grew up in the Cui family and has been with me for more than ten years. Before that, I took care of your daily life. Who else can give orders to her besides you?"
Princess Hui lowered her head and was speechless for a long time.
After a moment, she gritted her teeth suddenly, with deep hatred on her pale face, and said sternly: "Yes, it's me! I asked Qin'er to do this. A jade bracelet is nothing, I am
To destroy her reputation, this is just the beginning. They have destroyed my children, and I want them to die miserably!"
"What's wrong with Li Da?" Concubine Cui frowned and asked.
"Da'er, after being tortured with the rod, Da'er will no longer be humane!" Princess Hui squeezed out a few words through her teeth.
Concubine Cui frowned deeper, and after a moment, she whispered, "Stupid!"
The King of Shu was expelled from the capital because of what happened last time, and even this time the great dynasty meeting was not called. Their power in the dynasty also suffered heavy losses. The attitude of the Qin family was unclear, and the Qin Prime Minister line also began to waver. Regarding
The influence of other officials was even deeper. Almost half of the Cui family and her plans and arrangements for more than ten years were destroyed. It was simply impossible to recover in a short period of time.
All that can be done now is to be patient, because even if the forces in the DPRK and China are hit hard, they still have no rivals. The Cui family has extremely strong foundation among the nobles, the court, and the people. No one, including His Majesty, dares to underestimate it.
Look, other princes who want to get involved in the East Palace are simply talking nonsense.
If we can maintain the status quo, we will have a sure chance of victory, but if we continue as before, we will be pushed into the abyss step by step.
Concubine Cui looked at her and said coldly: "This matter will end in one year, at most one year, no matter it is Li Yi or whoever you are, you can deal with it however you want. If you do such stupid things again,
Don't blame me for being ruthless for ruining Xian'er's important event!"
When he said the last sentence, his tone was extremely harsh.
"I understand." Princess Hui nodded and said through gritted teeth, but the hatred in her eyes was still strong.
…
…
"Prince Duanyang can't be humane?" Li Yi was shocked when he just learned the news from Li Xuan.
Isn't it a beating? It's a beating on the stomach but not lying down. How could it be injured... Where is the injury? Could it be that the capillaries are blocked somewhere due to fear and eventually the blood vessels are blocked? Peripheral nerve necrosis eventually leads to cavernous body necrosis.
…
"The news has spread among the powerful circles in Beijing, don't you know?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.
Li Yi shook his head. He had never known what the elite circles in Kyoto were like. Moreover, he had been staying at home to take care of the children in the past few months, or to accompany Ruyi, so he had no time to meddle in other people's business.
"It is said that King Hui and Princess Hui invited many miraculous doctors, even several imperial doctors, but they could not cure Prince Duanyang." Li Xuan sighed. For a man, this is already a great shame in life.
"It's so pitiful." Although I can't empathize with him, we are both men. Even if Prince Duanyang is nothing, he still deserves pity on this matter.
Li Yi also sighed and said: "Yes, this is good...it is God's sin!"
Li Xuan turned to look at him with a look of helplessness. Don't you still know who caused the evil?
Thinking of something, Li Yi looked at Li Xuan and asked, "By the way, is the aunt just now Princess Hui?"
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, she is Princess Hui, a sibling of Concubine Cui, and the mother of Prince Duanyang."
"There are two sisters, one is a noble concubine and the other is a princess. Are the Cui family really so powerful?" Li Yi asked again.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "The Cui family is one of the best in the entire Jingguo. It has a history of at least hundreds of years and its influence is huge. Apart from the royal family, there are only a few people who can compete with the Cui family.
Several families..."
Li Yi had known about the affairs of these families or royal families before, but he did not know them in such detail as Li Xuan.
More than a hundred years ago, the aristocratic families were so powerful that even the royal family had to stay out of the way. Although it is not as grand as it was back then, the legacy is still there. If there is no legitimate reason, even the royal family is not easy to mess with.
Of course, this does not mean that the royal family really cannot touch them, but the foundation of those aristocratic families is too deep and their influence in the court and the people is huge. Even today, the emperor always wants to weaken the power of the family, but he still has to take into account the stability of the people's livelihood.
Strong measures cannot be taken.
What's more, the relationship between aristocratic families, aristocratic families and the royal family is also complicated.
There are many concubines in the palace, and almost every one of them has a certain force behind them. Concubine Cui represents the Cui family, and is the Queen. Behind her, there is also a powerful family that is not weaker than the Cui family, Concubine Yan, Concubine Chen, and all the kings.
Concubine, even Li Xuan's own concubine...
The entanglement of interests involved cannot be explained simply in a few words.
The more he talked, the more confused Li Yi felt. He shook his head and asked again: "The Cui family has almost a monopoly on the jewelry business and must be very profitable. Compared with your father-in-law's family, which family is richer?"
"In the entire Jingguo, apart from the royal family, there is no richer family than the Wang family. However, for ordinary people, the Cui family's wealth is still unimaginable."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Let's do it!"
"What are you doing?" Li Xuan raised his head and asked curiously.
"Cheers!" Li Yi raised the teacup in his hand and said.
…
In the Yingcui Palace, a guard soon brought news that the bracelet was stolen by Concubine Cui's maid. After the incident was exposed, she deliberately framed it for Madam Li County. She was severely punished by Your Majesty, with a hundred punishments and a life of 100.
It was saved, but the end was still miserable.
Li Yi was not surprised at all. Princess Hui had been trying to bring the matter to the old emperor just now, but little did she know that she was seeking death.
It’s not good to put the blame on anyone. Put the blame on Ruyi. Ask Lao Chang if he has the ability?
The old emperor suffered from asthma, not Alzheimer's disease. This incident was caused by his own accident.
However, this news is somewhat intriguing to others.
A little maid steals the treasures of a noble concubine and blames the county uncle's wife, or the county uncle Li's wife. How dare she do this because she has the courage to do so?
His Highness the King of Shu once sinned against the county uncle Li and was almost beaten to death by him in front of all the officials. Now, he can still live happily in the Furong Garden. Where is His Highness the King of Shu?
The eldest son of the emperor, the prince who is most likely to take over the East Palace, has been expelled to Shuzhou to herd sheep. Officials from the Shu king's line are as if they are avoiding the plague when they see him. At this juncture, they actually provoke him.
?
Could it be that Concubine Cui really lost her mind?
Everyone can clearly see the current situation in the court. Even if the academy is about to open, County Uncle Li is highly valued by His Majesty and he is very high-spirited. No one in the court can take away his edge. The lineage of the King of Shu has just suffered a heavy blow.
, now it is best to keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity. It is really stupid to touch the other party's brow at this juncture...
