Chapter 613: Delivery
Chu Liangyuan had considered telling the prince's words to Mrs. Chu Zhengfang, because her situation was obviously affected by what their husband and wife had done. If they don't restrain themselves, the prince won't really favor her, and her plan will be difficult to implement!
But she didn't dare.
The prince had clearly instructed her not to speak. She couldn't guarantee that after Chu Zhengfang and his wife learned the truth, they would cover it up and never know it, but they suddenly knew that they could change their mistakes. To put it simply, Chu Liangyuan has little confidence in the acting skills of Chu Zhengfang and his wife. In case they arouse the suspicion of the prince, her good impression in front of the prince will probably be greatly reduced. Although the prince's concerns about Chu Zhengfang have affected her situation, as long as Chu Zhengfang and his wife die, and she herself remains innocent and does not go along with the Chu family, then the prince will still favor her afterwards.
Chu Liangyuan didn't plan to tell Mrs. Chu Zhengfang the truth, at most she persuaded her in other ways.
For example, now, Mrs. Chu Zhengfang is excited about Chu Liangyuan's "favor", and what she said is already a little out of line. Even if there are only the three women of the Chu family in the house right now, plus two henchmen and maids, it is still a bit excessive. Chu Liangyuan's "mother" had already frowned, feeling that Mrs. Chu Zhengfang had said too much. Chu Liangyuan opened her mouth to stop her sister-in-law from continuing: "This is the East Palace, sister-in-law carefully divides the wall and has ears! If you let the crown princess know that you said these words, then you don't have to expect anything!"
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was stunned for a moment, and she calmed down a little. She began to realize that she was indeed a little hot-headed. In order to ensure that the crown princess can act according to the arrangement of their husband and wife, she does not know how much effort, how much caution she has lost, and how much pressure she has endured. When the crown princess was very powerful, although she still often met her, she was not completely pleasant to her, she wanted to turn her face and leave more than once, but she thought of her husband's plan and barely endured it. Because of this, she was a little too excited when she saw that she no longer had to rely on the crown princess, and it was even possible to counter the crown princess. In fact, Chu Yuniang has only been favored by the prince once, and she is not pregnant yet, nor has she given birth to a grandson. She was so excited too soon.
However, Mrs. Chu Zhengfang still tried to cover up her mistakes: "It's okay, there are only our own people in the house, and the voice of our party is not loud, and the people outside can't hear it." β
Chu Liangyuan said to her: "The crown princess has rewarded me with two grandmothers, staring at me all day long, although I have been separated by this time, I may not be able to come back when." They have a lot of experience in the palace, they have big faces, and when they get closer, the palace people may not remind me out loud. I have been scared by them several times, but my sister-in-law is better to be cautious! The princess is so kind to us, we should also be grateful. β
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang laughed dryly, cleared her throat, and quickly changed the topic: "In short, you must explain the crown princess well in the palace, please your Royal Highness the prince, and make sure that His Royal Highness the crown prince continues to pamper you! Now is a good time! The crown princess is not in good health, Chen Liangdi is grounded, Chen Liangyuan is pregnant again, the weather is getting colder, and His Royal Highness the crown prince is no longer bitter summer." If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity to conceive the emperor and grandson as soon as possible, you will be so sorry for the family who has worked so hard for you!"
Chu Liangyuan answered, and paused again: "Are my grandfathers and grandmothers okay?"
Her "mother" tugged at the corners of her mouth, turned her head to pick up the teacup and took a sip of tea, not wanting to get involved in such a topic.
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang replied: "Okay, the two of them live very well in Tongzhou, your grandfather had a small cold a few days ago, but he has recovered, and he has been obsessed with planting flowers recently." They seem to have sent a subordinate back to the city, probably concerned about your news, but they didn't dare to come to the Chu family to inquire, so they just stayed at home to do some cleaning work. If you don't feel at ease, I'll ask someone to quietly call someone over and ask you about your grandparents, and tell you when you enter the palace next time?"
Chu Liangyuan had already thought about it, and deliberately showed a surprised expression: "Really? That's great! Sister-in-law waited for a while." She turned and went into the room, and the maid who had been waiting for her since she was a child hurriedly followed, and the master and servant seemed to be rummaging through the cabinets, and they did not know what they were doing, and after a while they came out, and the maid added a box to her hand.
Chu Liangyuan opened the box and showed it to Mrs. Chu Zhengfang: "This is the high-grade Poria cream that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewarded me, which is the most nourishing, and it is suitable for my grandfather and grandmother." My sister-in-law will give it to the second elder for me, right? I can't leave the palace now, so I can only do my filial piety like this. β
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang glanced at the box, and then accepted it: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the things!" This is a trivial matter, as long as it can appease Chu Yuniang for their use, obediently obedient, it is just a small thing, what is it?
Chu Liangyuan was very satisfied when he saw this, but this was just the initial temptation, and the next thing was the point. She took out another letter from her sleeve: "This is the health care prescription I asked the imperial doctor in the palace, which is suitable for my grandfather's symptoms." My sister-in-law will bring it for me, right?"
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang didn't think much about it, and was about to take it, but Chu Liangyuan's "mother" on the side stopped her: "No! There are rules in the palace, and female dependents can't leave the palace in private, unless they cross the clear road." If Liangyuan had greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, even if she had told the Crown Princess Niangniang first, we would have carried it for you. But quietly carry the letter in private, that won't work!"
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang really hesitated when she heard this. Chu Liangyuan hurriedly said: "It's just a recipe! I don't believe you can open it and take a look." If my sister-in-law and mother leave the palace, the guards will not search their bodies, and if you don't say it, who will know that you have carried a letter for me?
That's of course because, Poria Frost can be fooled in the name of Chu Liangyuan's reward to his mother!
But Chu Liangyuan's "mother" did not dare to take this risk. She is different from Mrs. Chu Zhengfang, she has been just the wife of a low-level official all her life. Even if she obeyed the arrangement of her husband and nephew and let Chu Yuniang, her niece, enter the palace as her deceased daughter, she still felt uneasy. After a long time, she felt more and more that it was too dangerous to do so, and if she didn't do it, it would be a crime of bullying the king! If she can commit fewer crimes, it is better to commit fewer crimes, even if she is discovered by the nobles in the palace in the future, she will not be punished too badly.
Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was much bolder than this aunt, she took the "prescription" in Chu Liangyuan's hand with one hand, opened it and took a look, and found that it was indeed a prescription written in black and white, simple, and there were no words that should not be there, and the prescription looked like it was real, but it was a bit like a Taiping. She didn't care whether Chu Liangyuan really got a good prescription or was fooled by the imperial doctor, anyway, it wasn't her who wanted to take medicine, so she folded the prescription again and put it in her sleeve: "It's done, no one dares to search us, I will bring you things and prescriptions!"
Chu Liangyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, she said that she wanted to tell the old maid a few words alone. Mrs. Chu Zhengfang smiled: "What? You can't trust me? Do you want the girl to talk to your grandfather again? You are too underestimated, what am I lying to you about?!" She pulled the maid ring she brought into the palace, and said to Chu Liangyuan, "You just tell me here, what is there that I can't listen to?" Hurry up and finish speaking, it's not early, we are going to leave the palace. β
How could Chu Liangyuan really go to Yahuan in front of the Chu family to say what she really wanted to say? In desperation, she could only explain to Yahuan, go to her grandfather's house as soon as possible, meet the subordinate who had rushed from Tongzhou, and ask her grandparents about their physical condition, what was the previous cold, Is there a big problem? and so on.
As long as this girl meets the people in her grandfather's house, takes out the letter, puts it on the candle flame and smokes it, she should be able to see the message she really wants to deliver.
As Chu Liangyuan expected, this letter did reach the group of foreign merchants who rented in the Gu family's house, and they also understood what she meant, and they were quite regretful in their hearts: "What's going on? We only thought she was successful in the East Palace, but didn't she accept the favor? What happened to the news we worked so hard to hear?!"
One of the accomplices said, "Maybe it's just a rumor, but there is no need for the Chu clan to deceive us. Since she said so, let's continue to wait for her good news. β
Another person had a different opinion: "It's not the way to wait like this." The prince can't get out of the house, even if the Chu clan succeeds, the prince's plan can't be carried out! I still have to think of a way, first lift the ban for the prince!"
The others asked: "How do we get rid of it?" We don't have a real and credible internal response in the court! Even if the prince has made one or two arrangements, it is not yet time to use them. β
The man from before raised the letter in his hand: "Regardless of whether the Chu family is lucky or not, isn't she quite favored by rumors?
"No!" the others objected to his suggestion, "The Chu clan has finally achieved today's results, and the plan has not been skimmed yet, in case the prince is disgusted because of the matter of intercession, wouldn't it be harmful to the prince to lose his previous achievements? Even if you can't really let the prince get out of the trap, as long as you can let the officers and soldiers outside the mansion not keep an eye on it so closely, so that the prince can take advantage of the loopholes and leave the mansion without being known, that's enough!"
So what can be done to achieve such a goal?
Several people began to think about it, but they didn't know that the person who had been in charge of monitoring them had already reported the news of outsiders entering the Gu family's mansion to the Imperial City Secret Spy Division. Soon, Zhao Mo's side knew.
The people of the secret spy department cleverly embellished Yahuan when he left the Gu family's house. The girl was originally a person waiting in the inner house, no matter how clever she was, she didn't have the secret agent of the secret spy department to wake up, so she didn't notice anything wrong at all, so she took the person to the door of the Chu family's mansion.
The people from the secret spy department tried to inquire again, and the truth that the girl had served Chu Liangyuan and was now on an errand by Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was no longer a secret.
They quickly reported the news to Zhao Mo, and Zhao Mo happened to get the latest investigation results from Zhao Qiong.
Grandma Lu Si does have sources in the Chu family, but it is not the wife and grandmother of the Chu family, but a little girl next to her who has just been promoted to the second class, and she recognized a mother-in-law of the Chu family as a godmother. That mother-in-law had waited for Chu Liangyuan before, and it was said that Chu Liangyuan's mother brought her from her mother's family to dowry, and she was very decent, so she wanted to know Chu Liangyuan's situation in the palace, and the ladies of the Chu family who had entered the palace would always say a few words to her.
This mother-in-law and a girl are all people who have served Chu Liangyuan? Is this really a coincidence?
