On the second day, Xiancao once again walked into Chu Liangyuan's house under the pretext of checking the matter of Buddha Bean, and also brought her a reply.

She claimed that this letter was from the palace of the prince of Shu: "Gu Changshi committed suicide. The tunnel in the backyard of the Shizi's Mansion was exposed by Yu Yue's heavy rain, and the Shizi had no choice but to set fire to the backyard, but he was still targeted by the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were looking for someone to dig up the ruins, and they were bent on finding the handle of the prince, and they had already found the tunnel entrance. If they continue to dig it, it won't take long for the tunnel to be revealed to the world, and the prince will not be able to hide from it no matter what. Gu Changshi ordered someone to bring a letter to the prince, proposed a solution, and asked the prince to take out some confidential things that are now useless to prevaricate, and then put the blame on him, only saying that everything was his opinion, and the tunnel was also dug by him. Let the son of the world cut off his tail to survive. How could the prince be willing? Let people immediately go to Tongzhou to find Gu Changshi, but Gu Changshi had already committed suicide! Even Mrs. Gu was martyred. ”

Xiancao looked at Chu Liangyuan, who was full of tears, and continued: "If the prince has any other choice, he will definitely not push Gu Changshi out as a scapegoat. But this is Gu Changshi's wish, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life, if the prince went against his will, wouldn't he let down his painstaking efforts? Therefore, the prince denounced him according to Gu Changshi's suicide note. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Gu Changshi's death was related to the prince, but it was not wrong. But the original reason is definitely not what he said. ”

Chu Liangyuan cried bitterly: "How can this be...... Could it be that God deliberately looked at the prince of the world and the Gu family unpleasantly? Otherwise, how could he let the authentic things be exposed?!"

Xiancao hurriedly said: "Liangyuan cry quietly, in case people hear it, it will be troublesome!"

Chu Liangyuan had to cover his face with a handkerchief, crying silently, crying for a while, and before he could stop, Xiancao said: "Liangyuan, the slave and maid can't stay with you for a long time. Now that the words are clear, Liangyuan knows what happened, so don't complain about the prince anymore. The prince of the world is also a last resort, and Liangyuan will not misunderstand him because of a few words from others in the future. Now he is in danger, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get out for a while. Liangyuan is in the East Palace, and she has to be careful. ”

Chu Liangyuan wiped away the tears on his face, choked up and asked, "What about the prince? Does he have a way to get out?" Although I told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the princess and the grandson, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not agree. Now that the prince is being guarded more strictly, the plan he told me before ......"

Xiancao actually didn't know what specific plans there were between the prince of Shu and Chu Liangyuan, so he only said: "The prince said it, he knows it in his heart." Don't be surprised when you hear about him in the future, whatever it may be. Everything is in the hands of the Son. Liangyuan only needs to spend her days in the East Palace with peace of mind, do her best to fix your favor, and strive to do what the prince tells you to do as soon as possible. As for the rest, the prince will arrange someone else to do it, and Liangyuan doesn't have to interfere. ”

Chu Liangyuan knew in her heart that what the prince of Shu ordered her to do was to fix her favor and drug, and as for other things, it was estimated that she would get rid of the imperial grandson in Chen Liangyuan's belly and use the crown princess to do something.

But what method did the prince of Shu plan to use to have a secret meeting with her? If they couldn't meet, how would she get pregnant? No, the most important thing was that she couldn't let the prince eat the food she made at all! She couldn't even guarantee that she wouldn't conceive the prince's child after she accepted the favor! The prince of Shu was still in captivity and couldn't see her at all. How long will she have to wait to complete the plan he had agreed with her?!

Xiancao didn't continue to pay attention to Chu Liangyuan, who looked depressed, and withdrew from the house. She continued to pretend to have a smug expression of "I had just abused people and got angry", and happily went back to say a few gossips to a few palace people, and then exclaimed, "I forgot, I lent my pattern to others, and I haven't come back yet!" No one was suspicious, everyone was giggling, thinking that she was really looking for an acquaintance to ask for tricks.

In fact, after Xiancao left the East Palace, he turned into the door of a palace not far away.

Nowadays, there are not many emperors' harems, and the palace is so big, but there are many courtyards that are ownerless. Some of them were overgrown with weeds, and the houses were almost deserted, while others were left to be guarded by only three or two chamberlains or palace guards. As long as you don't meet the palace people of the deacon, such a place is a good place for the palace people to meet secretly. After waiting for less than a cup of tea in this abandoned palace, Xiancao waited for the person she wanted to see—a plainly dressed and ordinary-looking old woman. In the two palaces of Cining and Shoukang, there are many such old women, and almost all of them are old people who have been waiting for decades by the side of the queen mother, concubines, and concubines.

When the old lady caught a glimpse of the grass, she quietly walked over and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Xiancao nodded, and said with some disdain: "I said what Mama told me, and she believed it all, and she didn't ask a word more!"

The old lady was not worried: "What did you tell her? Repeat it to me word by word." ”

Xiancao pursed her lips and did so, before she said, "I didn't miss anything, did I?

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. The old lady said expressionlessly, "This is a big deal." If you're not careful, you'll lose your head!"

Slimgrass was a little more serious: "I know. But Mama Qiu treats me like a mountain, as long as she wants to do something, I will do my best to do it for her, even if it is at the expense of my life, I will not hesitate to do it!"

"Okay, you should tell Mama Qiu these words, what kind of loyalty do you show in front of me?" the old mama snorted, "I didn't expect Chu Liangyuan to be so easy to deceive." In fact, if she had the heart to inquire, she would have easily found out some news, which did not match our rhetoric. But she didn't ask more, I'm afraid she wasn't a good granddaughter who was filial. ”

Xiancao said disapprerovingly: "This woman has no strengths except for being born better, what does the prince want her to do? Why don't you choose a smarter woman?"

The old lady glanced at her: "Where can you put your beak in the things that the prince wants to do? Shut up for me! You just need to do the things that are explained to you." ”

"Got it. Xiancao finished answering, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Mama, doesn't it really matter? The situation of the prince of Shu is not very good now......" In fact, they didn't contact the prince of Shu at all, but Mama Qiu made up a word, so that Xiancao was familiar with it, and used it to fool Chu Liangyuan. The prince of Shu is in captivity, the guards are extremely strictly guarded, and no matter how powerful Mama Qiu is, she can't hide it from everyone and get in touch with him.

The old lady said lightly: "Whether he is good or not, someone will think for him." You and I just need to follow Mama Qiu's orders, what do you do with so much?"

Slender grass was a little surprised: "But...... Aren't we doing this just for the prince of Shu?"

The old lady sighed: "Anyway, I just listen to Mama Qiu." If she wants to do things for the prince of Shu, I will do things for the prince of Shu. She doesn't want to pay attention to the prince of Shu, what else do I do with that idleness? In the past, Mama Qiu looked at the prince of Shu, how she looked at it, as if she was her own grandson. But now...... I can't say well. After Gu Changshi's news came to the palace, Mama Qiu had been in a bad mood, but unfortunately she couldn't solve it. ”

The grass was surprised. She is in the East Palace on weekdays, rarely goes to Cining Palace, and there are not many opportunities to see Mama Qiu, and she doesn't know that the latter has been in a bad mood recently. She couldn't help but be a little worried: "What's wrong with Mama Qiu?

The old lady sighed: "I can't say that I have a lot of friendship, but I also know that Gu Changshi is really a loyal minister." But...... The prince is too ruthless!"

People like them who were waiting in the Empress Dowager's palace were not too difficult to inquire about some news of Gu Changshi's death. They knew that Gu Changshi committed suicide, and there was a suicide note to prove it, but the corpse was tested and found that he was re-hung on the beam after his death, which shows that although he committed suicide, there were others who later killed his mouth and made the pretense that he died later. Gu Changshi is certainly loyal to the prince of Shu, even if he sacrifices his life, he must protect him, and take the responsibility on himself. But the prince of Shu didn't have much trust in him, but he had already sent people to kill him. Even if he knew his loyalty, he still killed his wife and old servant. Gu Changshi's loyalty, is it really worth it?

The most important thing is that the method of surviving by the prince of Shu is familiar, and he can't help but think of some of the past. Mama Qiu had doubts in her heart, and remembered her old friend again, how could she be in a good mood?

The old lady didn't want to mention it more, Xiancao was still young, and many things would not be understood. She only instructed Xiancao to take some precautions, then separated from the latter and went back to the palace separately. Before leaving, she also stuffed a book of patterns into Xiancao's hand, so that she could give Xiancao a return errand.

Neither of them noticed that not far from them, there were also two chamberlains who quietly divided into two ways, one following the other, and leaving with each of them.

On the second day, Zhao Mo entered the palace to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and got the latest information: "Mama Qiu?" He was a little surprised, "How could it be her?!"

The prince's face was a little gloomy: "Soon after Xiancao came out of Chu Liangyuan's house, he left the East Palace, and then met with a grandmother next to the abandoned house of Yanxi Palace. After the grandmother left, she returned to Cining Palace and went directly to Mama Qiu's house. I don't know what they talked about, but it's clear that they're in a group. ”

Mama Qiu once served the King of Shu, which many people know, but looking at her performance, it doesn't seem like she can put aside her decades of master-servant relationship with the Queen Mother for the sake of the son of the King of Shu. What kind of method did the prince of Shu use to convince her to use it for herself? How deeply involved was Mama Qiu? What did she do for the prince of Shu?

The prince said to Zhao Mo: "The matter involves Cining Palace, it is no longer alone to call the shots, this matter needs to be reported to the emperor." ”

Zhao Mo hurriedly said: "This is as it should be, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will have to say hello to her old man, and let her be prepared." After all...... It's the old man next to her. ”

The prince said lightly: "It is precisely because he is an old man who has committed a traitor that he is more and more unforgivable!"

Zhao Mo's mood was also a little heavy. Although his new wife Qin Han was really blessed, he had already guessed that Mama Qiu was suspicious, but now that the news was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. Mama Qiu is so confused! At this age, she doesn't lack anything, what is she trying to do this kind of thing?!

He shook his head and changed the subject: "The people of the Imperial City's secret spy department are now guarding the prince of Shu, according to them, the prince of Shu seems to be obsessed with Buddhist scriptures recently, and he has revealed several times that he wants to become a monk, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. ”
