Chapter 160: Bad Heart
Qin Hanzhen was speechless.
Indeed, there is still such a possibility. The small county lord of the Shu Wangfu is no longer favored, and it is also for the palace people in the palace. The nurse girl who can only enter the palace to enjoy happiness after her, where did she dare to leave her a three-year-old child in the house, and only care about a guest? Besides, this guest is not a noble and decent person, and he also lives better in the palace by pleasing the queen mother. And the small county lord of the Shu Wangfu is the heart of the queen mother.
Even if it's just the heart of the Queen Mother in a short period of time, it's not something that a nurse and a girl from the palace can slack.
But if Concubine Hui was not at the county lord's place at all, the nurse and the girl were actually lying and covering for Concubine Hui's whereabouts......
Qin Hanzhen asked Zhao Mo: "Is the Shu Wangfu really colluding with the King of Ninghua, right? I wondered, their family has been confined for so long, and the King of Ninghua is not a very capable person, and he has only been in Beijing for a few months, where did he get the ability to contact the Shu Wang's family who were locked up in the Zongren Mansion?"
Regarding this point, Zhao Mo has actually always found it puzzling. The crown prince's side suspected that the Zongren Mansion had the Shu King's Mansion or the Ninghua King's internal response. But seriously, it's not that easy to find. There are both clan and non-clan officials in the Zongren Mansion, with complex personnel and different backgrounds. The inner should definitely be able to contact the people of the Shu king's family, but the Shu king's family has a large population, there are masters and servants, confined in a large courtyard of the Zongren Mansion, living in the courtyard every day, the people and guards of the Zongren Mansion are only guarding outside the courtyard, and someone will send them food, water, clothes and daily necessities every day, and put them in a small window at the entrance of the courtyard, and the servants in their own courtyard will pick them up. During the whole process, there are guards watching, and there is generally no opportunity to talk alone. And the guards and the people who deliver things are all rotated, and there is no fixed candidate, how can people check?
This matter is not easy to publicize in the clan, so he can't openly say to the Zongren Mansion that he wants to investigate his subordinates, and Zhao Mo himself is inconvenient to interfere, so the investigation progress is slow, and he can only pay attention to who came into contact with the Shu Wang's family during that time according to what happened outside, and then investigate them one by one, so as to find out the dark line of secretly transmitting news to the Shu Wang's family.
Qin Hanzhen listened to Zhao Mo's explanation, and his brows furrowed. She always felt that King Ninghua would not be willing to go back to the fiefdom obediently if he made such a big scene and pulled so many people this time. Even if I go back this time, I won't give up, I'm just giving in for a while, and sooner or later I'll have to make a comeback.
Concubine Hui is also in trouble over there. She is an old concubine, who has been in the world for decades, has no children and no daughters, and suddenly King Ninghua arrested her family and put her family under house arrest, and sent her family to the palace to meet her.
Qin Hanzhen said to Zhao Mo: "I think so...... It should be difficult for the women of the Lu family to enter the palace by relying on King Ninghua alone, right? The edict to enter the palace generally does not bring irrelevant people, either their own flesh and blood, or henchmen and maids, and the number of people is not large, one is enough, and a few particularly decent ladies may bring two of them. Since we haven't heard the news of Concubine Hui's meeting with her family, it can be seen that the Lu family will never come in in the name of Concubine Hui's family, since they are all female dependents, they are very likely to be disguised as some of the entourage, the young can pretend to be a girl, and the older can only pretend to be a grandmother. But the ladies of the Lu family don't understand the etiquette in the palace at all, and it's easy to pretend to be a grandmother or something. If Princess Ninghua had brought three maids into the palace who didn't know palace etiquette, how would she have acted? I suspect that King Ninghua may have handed over people to the aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family, and each of them brought one with them, how convenient it would be to live! I don't know about others, when did your stepmother never bring anyone into the palace? I never forgot the pomp and circumstance when I was down, not to mention that she is a little more beautiful now?"
Zhao Mo laughed when he heard this: "Not only has she always been accustomed to taking a girl when she enters the palace, but even the fourth aunt and grandmother of the Yun family are always waiting with people around her." I've already checked, and the two of them did bring maids with them when they entered the palace, and each of them brought one. My stepmother didn't bring the big girl next to her, only a grandmother with a raw face. The one in Yunfu, as well as the one from Uncle Ying's family, I heard that the same is true. ”
That's right.
Zhao Mo had actually done a lot of investigations in advance, and there was only one thing, which he hadn't found out yet. That is how these three "grandmothers" with raw faces acted after entering the palace? The daughters of the Wang family were busy meeting privately and quarreling with the princess. Who led the way to the three new faces, and who took them to a certain place to meet Concubine Hui? Concubine Hui did not bring the palace people around her that day, and acted alone, so it can be seen that it was not her person who made these arrangements. As for the nurse and girl in the Shu Palace, firstly, their identities are embarrassing, and they are also regarded as sinners' slaves, and they cannot move freely without restrictions in the Cining Palace; secondly, if they are dispatched, they are too conspicuous and will be easily recognized. This shows that there is another internal response in the palace, or it is not only the Wang family daughter and the Lu family who entered Cining Palace that day.
Qin Han really thought about it. She sighed, "There is too little information, and there are still many details that cannot be deduced. Anyway, I'm sure that what King Ninghua asked Concubine Hui to do must be a very dangerous thing, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much time and risk getting the Lu family into the palace. This is to reassure Concubine Hui that her family is in his hands, and he can control their life and death at any time, right?
Zhao Mo pursed his lips and nodded, seeing Qin Hanzhen's bitter face, he couldn't help but smile: "Cousin Qin, don't worry, I have this matter." The emperor and the crown prince both know in their hearts, the palace has already arranged it, and someone is always staring at Concubine Hui, no matter what she wants to do, it is impossible to succeed. On King Ninghua's side, I also sent someone to keep an eye on him, and he couldn't hide his words and deeds from my eyes. If he honestly goes back to the fiefdom and keeps to himself from now on, he will definitely be able to be a rich and noble idler for a lifetime, and the emperor will not eradicate the heirs of King Jin. But if he refuses to be honest...... Naturally, someone will teach him a hard lesson!"
Qin Han was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "I don't care how King Ninghua dies. Anyway, now that the Zhenxi Hou Mansion is out of play, it can't even affect the little aunt and uncle, and your father can't do anything, and he can't implicate you. Thinking about it this way, I don't really have anything to worry about, I just can't see the bad guys go unpunished. ”
Zhao Mo smiled faintly: "There is really no need to worry. ”
Qin Hanzhen blinked, feeling that something was wrong with his state, and asked him in a low voice, "Is it really okay......?" Do you have something on your mind?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "What's the matter?, just like Cousin Qin, you just said, King Ninghua and his gang are out of play, what else is there to worry about?"
Qin Hanzhen was silent for a while before he spoke: "No, actually...... There's something you haven't told me yet. Don't mention it on King Ninghua's side, I also know about the Shu Wangfu and Concubine Hui's side. Zhenxihou has fallen ill and is destined to be out of play. Yun Shuai is said to have always been very knowledgeable about current affairs. Zhao Jie has no strength, so he is not in trouble. That...... Where's your father?"
Zhao Shuo, the son of the King of Liao, liked to jump up and down so much, when the King of Guangchang had an accident, King Ninghua, his own brother, was still busy pleading with the emperor, so Zhao Shuo first ran to the town of Xihou Mansion to shout. Although King Ninghua and the Hou Mansion of Zhenxi were destined to break up, without Zhao Shuo running to the Hou Mansion of Zhenxi to make trouble, Su Boxiong, the prince of the Hou of Zhenxi, was afraid that it would not be so easy to fall out with him. Didn't King Ninghua really scold his pig teammates?
Zhao Mo suddenly laughed: "Is this...... Actually, there's not much to say. Of course, King Ninghua will not have good words, but my father is not a temperamental person. He has always valued his identity, and there are not many princes and sons who have lived in the capital for a long time, and his status is one level higher than that of the county king. King Ninghua seemed to have a good son in the past, with a bright future, my father had great ambitions, so he naturally had to look up to him, and he was polite in front of him, calling him virtuous brother again and again, and never putting on a show. Now...... King Ninghua has been kicked out of the capital, and most of his sons will not be able to succeed the royal family, right? How could my father obediently be scolded by him? Uncle Ying was looking forward to him passing on his second son to himself, but King Ninghua took the word and repeatedly insisted that they still have a chance, and he was coaxing my father and Uncle Ying with rhetoric. ”
Qin Han really felt funny: "When he got to this point, he still refuses to give up? The key is that your father is still willing to believe it?" is so stupid, no wonder Zhao Mo feels bad.
Zhao Mo shrugged: "Who called King Ninghua's mouth harmful?" My father seems to really believe it, and if they wait for another two or three years, they can make a comeback, how can they all have a big fortune." ”
It's not surprising that my father is stupid again. It's just that Zhao Mo couldn't stand his stupidity, so he dragged himself into the water again.
King Ninghua thinks that the Zhenxi Hou Mansion still has use value, first, it is the Shu side, and it also needs to use the connections and prestige of the Zhenxi Hou; second, the prince of Zhenxi Hou has entered the city guard, although he does not have the right to mobilize the army alone, but he is expected to be promoted in the future; third, his younger brother Zhao Zhu has been clamoring to marry Su Da Girl as his wife, how can he agree? can only appease Zhao Zhuang on the one hand, and on the other hand, let the prince of Liao go back to find the father and son of the Hou of Zhenxi, and reintroduce the previous marriage contract, in fact, he is just using this marriage contract as a shield, and at the same time hanging the Hou Mansion of Zhenxi.
The Zhenxi Hou Mansion is now headed by the prince Su Boxiong, so where will he deal with the prince of Liao? But the affairs of Shu are carried out in secret from the emperor, and if the two sides get too stiff and the news leaks, the Su family will not be able to please them. Su Boxiong didn't turn his face with King Ninghua, but just lightly and did not mention the marriage.
King Ninghua asked Zhao Mo to be a lobbyist in front of the bedside of Xihou in Zhenxi. Zhao Zhu is no longer the king of the county, and if Miss Su marries him, it will be too much of a loss. But Zhao Mo is still the king of the county, and the saints have not diminished at all, no matter how you look at it, they are more attractive than Zhao Zhu. Moreover, Zhao Mo is favored by the emperor, but the Zhenxi Hou Mansion is obviously suspicious of the emperor, and it is also a good way to keep the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and marry the emperor's favored clan and county king.
Zhenxi Hou knew that at this point, the marriage on the Qin family's side could no longer be counted on. But with Zhao Shuo, the father of the pit son, there is still hope for the marriage between the eldest granddaughter and Zhao Mo. Even if the Su family can't make a comeback, they can still produce a princess of the county, keep the family safe, and add decades of wealth and wealth.
In this way, he hooked up with Zhao Shuo, the son of the King of Liao.
