Chapter 447: Parting (Final Chapter)
Princess Chai was poisoned, and the nourishing soup she had to drink every day was mixed with Heding red.
Like Gaomi Palace, Princess Chai delegated the power of the backyard after her eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Taojiao entered the door, and she enjoyed Qingfu.
Now that Princess Chai has gone wrong, Zhao Taojiao, who is the head of the Guangling Palace, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, Zhao Taojiao sent someone back to her parents' house to report the matter at this time, not only to report the news, but also to ask for help.
Old Madam Qin and Ji Shi understood this after calming down a little, and immediately asked for details: "All the people who came into contact with that bowl of nourishing soup were all under control?"
"The poisoner has been found. The mother-in-law who came to report sighed, "It's a big girl who entered the house last year, but the people are gone, and she is also a crane." ”
This clearly means that there is a problem, and Old Madam Qin and Ji Shi's expressions are solemn: "Then are there any other clues now?"
The mother-in-law shook her head: "The wife of the world is helpless......
After a pause, her voice was lowered, "But the prince suspects that it was the Meng family, and the purpose is to straighten Concubine Meng!"
"Meng's ......," Old Madam Qin muttered, "This is unlikely!"
Ji nodded beside him: "It's really unlikely! What happened to that Concubine Meng, ordinary people don't know, but it's not clear that our family is like this? She was simply calculated by her three uncles, so she had to enter the Guangling Palace! Zheng Guogong and the others didn't have any good intentions towards their nephews and nieces in the four rooms! How could it be possible to poison Princess Chai to pave the way for Concubine Meng?"
Old Madam Qin added: "Especially Concubine Meng's brother Chongxin Bo Meng Guiyu, now as General Zuo Weiwei, in charge of the Chunbo Lake Water Division, this person has always loved his younger brothers and sisters, and he found a good Ruyi Langjun for Concubine Meng at the beginning, but in the end, he could only watch his sister enter the palace to be a child, how can he not resent Zheng Guogong and others in his heart?
"The prince of Guangling believes that the line of King Guangling has no power around now, and even if Concubine Meng becomes a concubine, she may not be able to strengthen the power of Chongxinbo. The mother-in-law said, "I can appease Chongxin Bo and make him stop resenting the Meng family so much." Maybe it was because Meng Shi saw that in the past few months since Chongxinbo became General Zuo Weiwei, he unexpectedly gradually gained a foothold in the sailors, and decided to reconcile with Chongxinbo, so he did this?"
"Although Princess Chai is not from a noble background, and there is no one in the family at this time, after all, she is a loyal martyr who sacrificed her life for the country. Old Madam Qin narrowed her eyes, "Even if the Meng clan wants to appease Chongxinbo, it is impossible to make things so obvious, otherwise wouldn't it chill the hearts of the border soldiers?"
"If Princess Chai died unexpectedly today, it is possible that Meng Shi did it, but since she is so obviously poisoned...... Eighty percent is a real murderer!"
Ji Shi was silent for a while, and said: "Anyway, since the prince has sent a letter, mother, look, should we go and see it first?"
"It's definitely going to be seen. Old Madam Qin groaned and said to her mother-in-law, "You go and talk to the Gaomi Palace, and let you go in midnight...... The Guangling Mansion has been silent for many years, and suddenly such a big thing happened, I am afraid that Tao Jiao will be caught off guard and will forget to tell Midnight. ”
Ji lowered his head and said yes, but he speculated in his heart: "Isn't my mother suspecting that King Gaomi did it?"
This is not impossible, because although King Guangling and King Gaomi are not the same mother, but the former is thanks to the latter to have today, as a result, at the fifth banquet, King Guangling quietly got together with the Meng family, if you want to say that King Gaomi does not resent the betrayal of this younger brother, who believes it?
However, in the past few months, the two palaces have not moved except for breaking off contact, which is really a bit abnormal.
After all, even if King Gaomi thinks of brotherhood, he must also take into account the opinions of his subordinates, and if he does not set an example...... Wouldn't anyone else feel that betraying him wouldn't be a problem?
But......
Even if King Gaomi did it, is this still too obvious?
The Meng family is not a fool on their side, they either don't care about killing a princess of Chai, but they definitely don't want to carry such a black pot for nothing.
This matter, next, I'm afraid that there will be tears.
"Then let them tear it off!" "Imperial City, Leyi Palace, Main Hall.
Shu Zhaoyi leaned on the brocade couch, waving her hands carelessly, her slender white fingertips, and the impatiens juice repeatedly smeared with a gorgeous color like blood, which complemented the carefully depicted charming eyebrows and eyes, becoming more and more enchanting, "No matter how these two sides are torn, the children under Princess Chai's knees will be angry with Concubine Meng's head! And the more embattled Concubine Meng is in the Guangling Palace, the more resentful our Chongxin Bo is, isn't it?
The henchmen sent by Shu Yao at the bottom were a little nervous: "But King Gaomi and the Meng clan are all capable people, in case they are seen to be flawed......"
"What if you see it?" Shu Zhaoyi disagreed, "This palace just asked someone to poison Princess Chai, and they didn't plant blame anyone! They themselves are seriously suspicious, they suspect this and that, and if they make trouble, they can blame this palace for not doing it?"
She changed her sitting posture and sneered slightly, "The Meng clan forcibly installed a queen into the Wangchun Palace, obviously to cut off our sisters' hope of being the queen mother and queen mother in the future! And the injury of my sister may not have nothing to do with them! Therefore, this group of people is unreliable, but they have achieved a general trend, and the old woman of the queen mother is still alive, and the palace can't help them for the time being! Now they can only add to the blockage through Chongxinbo's side!"
"As for King Gaomi's side...... I don't want to see any brothers!"
After all, the Shu sisters, as the concubines of Emperor Xuanjing, are the same generation as King Gaomi, if King Gaomi takes over the position of Damu Tianzi, their sisters will be embarrassed, because they are not in the main room, and they can't even be called widows and sisters-in-law, and they have to take care of the defense of men and women, and it is not good to be too close to King Gaomi.
In this way, the word "scenery" in this later year is naturally irrelevant.
Therefore, for King Gaomi's side, the Shu sisters have always only considered King Gaomi's heirs to inherit the throne, and they will never support King Gaomi's own accession to the throne.
Shu Zhaoyi sighed and condensed, "And if King Gaomi is on his knees, thinking about it, only Mizhen is the most suitable!"
The henchman hurriedly said: "Since Niangniang has decided, then you and the noble concubine Niangniang, you have to hurry up and say good words in front of Your Majesty, and pass on the King of Mizhen County to your knees as soon as possible, and get along day and night, you can also cultivate a relationship for a few years, right?"
"Cultivating feelings is for sure. Shu Zhaoyi sat up straight, picked up the walnut cheese in front of her, stirred it with a small silver spoon, but shook her head, "But you can't get along day and night...... If Mi Zhen is only three or four years old this year, of course this palace will take him with him all day long. But Mi Zhen is now crowned, and King Gao Mi and the Meng clan are both powerful, how can they still hold him under their knees?
"Grab the right?" the henchman frowned, "Niangniang, but Mizhen has been counting the number of times she has met you and the concubine Niangniang on one hand." Even if he has always shown great respect for the two mothers, but as the saying goes, knowing people knows their faces but not their hearts!
Shu Zhaoyi sneered slightly: "This palace wants to be warm with the heir all day long, and also enjoy the joy of family! But do you think that if Mizhen only has the support of his sister in this palace and the title of the prince, once His Majesty is absent in the future, he will be able to keep the throne? !
The henchman hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to ask for sin: "It's a little incompetent, tired and worrying!"
"Don't worry too much, since this palace dares to choose Mizhen, of course, it has been carefully considered, and it has been discussed and deliberated with my sister many times. "In the end, it is my father's henchman, Shu Zhaoyi saw that he was panicked, slowed down his tone again, and said comfortingly, "Mizhen and King Gaomi are not in harmony, of course it is a real discord, or a fake discord, it is not yet known! But just like the death of Princess Chai this time, even if Chongxinbo knew that it was done by the palace, but the fact is that Concubine Meng will inevitably incur the resentment and anger of Princess Chai's heirs, so Chongxinbo will inevitably be even more resentful of the Meng clan who caused Concubine Meng to enter the Guangling Palace. ”
"Mi Zhen has been separated from King Gaomi for many years, and although he has been crowned the king of the county after returning, he is not the son of the world, and the son of the world is not as talented as him...... As long as you have a heart, I'm not afraid that this father and son won't be able to pinch it!"
"When the time comes, their father and son will be like fire and water, even if Mi Zhen is to fight against the King Gaomi with deep roots, she will definitely cling to the palace and her sister!"
"In this way, even if Bengong doesn't call him to come to him every day, do you think he will be willing to be estranged from Bengong? When the time comes, I'm afraid that Bengong doesn't have to tell anything, and he himself will be loyal to Bengong!"
"Niangniang Bingxue is smart!" the henchman praised it, and then said, "Before I came, the lord of the family told me that if Niangniang's side has decided to support the king of Mizhen County, then ...... The princess of the county?"
Shu Zhaoyi's face sank when she heard this: "It's okay to talk about this! Mi Zhen even took the initiative to beg when she visited her sister for the second time for this matter, which shows the importance she attaches to the county lord of Kangzhao! Now that our sister and him have not yet accumulated any deep feelings, they will not be able to brush him off on this kind of matter, even if he asks us for help at this time and gives in, he will definitely leave a mustard in his heart! Now that the situation is precarious, it is not easy to have such a suitable candidate, if he is the princess of a county, causing him to hold a grudge, wouldn't it be because of a small loss?! ”
The henchmen didn't dare to object, but thinking of Shu Yao's ardent expectations, he still had the courage to say: "Now it is the position of the princess of the county, and in the future...... But it's the Lord of the Six Palaces!"
"The Wen family was also the lord of the Six Palaces before!" Shu Zhaoyi hated the case of iron and steel, "But where is she now?!Where is her maiden Wen family now?!Ah? As the princess of the county, she can have the last laugh?!It's ridiculous!"
Sensing the meaning of her words, her henchman turned around and whispered, "Little confession...... Then, the little one went back and told the master, let the master invite a few more teachers for the young lady at home, and continue to teach?"
Also, the two mothers of their own family have not mixed into the phoenix seat of Wangchun Palace until now, but in this huge six palaces, it is not the two of them who are really full of words? Meng Biyun sitting on the phoenix seat of Wangchun Palace is just an ornament!
Since the King of Mizhen County likes the county lord of Kangzhao, how about letting the Sheng clan temporarily occupy the position of the main room?
With these two ladies of their own family watching, they are not afraid that their own young lady will not have a chance to replace them!
With such thoughts, the henchman respectfully retired.
…… Sheng Weiqiao, who was far away in Nanfeng County, did not know that with the rise of Rong Sleeping Crane step by step, the undercurrent surrounding the position of the princess of Mizhen County was also surging at the same time.
She was standing on the pier, looking up at the tall building ship not far away: "Why are there three?!"
"Three, of course. Sheng Lanci took the cloak handed over by his subordinates and carefully tied it for his daughter, "Your grandfather and your aunt haven't been out for many years. ”
Seeing that her daughter was a little stunned, Feng Shi next to her couldn't help but smile and rubbed her hair scattered at the back of her head, "Are you afraid of loneliness on the road? Don't worry, anyway, there are small boats on the three buildings, if you miss your aunt or your grandmother, it is also very convenient to go over to play temporarily." ”
His hand suddenly stopped, and his gentle tone was filled with sadness that could not be concealed, "I just don't know, when will it be convenient for you to come back to see Wei Niang and Yuan'er?"
Sheng Weiqiao, who was looking at the difference between the three building ships, suddenly had red circles in her eyes, and hugged her with her backhand: "Mother!"
"Didn't you say it?" Sheng Lanci said, while signaling to the left and right to retreat, while comforting the mother and daughter in a low voice, "The left and right fathers and mothers are now in Chang'an, what if...... After all, that kid is right, Nanfeng County's literary style is not prosperous, and Chang'an is more suitable for cultivating children!"
He said something bad to calm his wife and daughter, and at this time, the steward had already come to ask for instructions, saying that the time for departure had come, should he board the ship immediately?
The father and daughter then said goodbye to Feng's mother and son, hugged Sheng Weiyuan one by one, and then turned back to board the springboard step by step.
It was a calm noon in early October, sixteen-year-old Sheng Wei Qiao Pingsheng traveled away from home for the second time in his life, when the figure of Feng's mother and son became a black spot in the line of sight, and finally disappeared, the girl even had an impulse to immediately call the boat back.
But the attachment to the person in Chang'an, as well as the expectation for the future, finally suppressed this impulse.
Perhaps when I was young, I knew that the calm and waveless sea in front of me and the cloudless blue sky overhead could suddenly change color, or roar, or boil, or be cloudy and thunder and lightning at any unknown moment in the future. And the shore from which he left was always safe and secure.
After all, I couldn't help but set sail.
Probably because, regret is often a matter of the future, but unwillingness is just around the corner?
Sheng Weiqiao stood on the deck for a long time before he raised his hand and swept up a strand of sideburns that was blown away by the sea breeze, turned around and grabbed his father's arm: "Dad, it's windy here, let's go into the cabin!"
