Chapter 425: Calm Waves
Prince Rong's Palace.
Xue Tao and others worshiped Mrs. Xiang, and they all went to Prince Rong and asked him the truth.
Yu Wenyan insisted, saying that her mother was suddenly infected with a vicious disease.
After several questions, he still said this, Xue Tao suddenly lost his temper, and said angrily: "How can it be that he is suffering from a bad disease?!" It was clearly plotted by the two people in Chen Guogong's mansion! Otherwise, what are they going to do with us and others? ”
Speaking of this, his tone softened, and he asked solemnly: "Lord Wang, why do you want to hide the truth?" ”
"Suddenly contracted a vicious disease, this is the truth." Yu Wenyan's eyes were slightly cold, and his words were definitely unquestionable.
Several ministers glanced at each other, and Xue Tao said "Lord Wang" again, his tone was angry and anxious, "I also know that Lord Wang has always had some misunderstandings with Mrs. Xiang, but Mrs. Xiang ...... her."
"How many more times do you want this king to say?" Yu Wenyan suddenly raised his voice, glared at Xue Tao angrily, and interrupted him.
Xue Tao felt shocked and confused, and wanted to persuade him, but he was secretly pulled by an elderly man beside him. He glanced at him, his eyes swept over everyone, and saw that everyone was in a hurry to sign, he thought about it, then restrained his anxious temperament, and said to Prince Rong: "That is the case, the prince's festival mourns and changes, and I will leave first." ”
Yu Wenyan looked at everyone's eyes, and only then did he get kind. He also bowed his hand and returned the salute to everyone, clearly a son who had lost his mother, and he should be as respectful and grateful as he should be to those who came to mourn.
However, despite his attitude, Xiang Madame's death still set off a discussion among the government and the opposition. It was Shen Liancheng's grandfather who also summoned Chen Xiang and Shen Liancheng to his home and questioned the truth about them.
He was not without annoyance: "It is indeed necessary for you to take more precautions against Mrs. Xiang, but lock up the officials with whom you have a good relationship, and kill them in the dead of night!" This thing was done inappropriately and ...... Not so bright. ”
Fortunately, after Shen Liancheng explained it clearly, he understood. The rest are only worried about how the husband and wife will face the accusations of the court officials.
"Prince Rong didn't say anything, and these officials said that it didn't make much sense." Shen Liancheng said, "What makes us feel more distressed than this is that Prince Rong's attitude is unclear, which makes people very uneasy.
"Grandfather-in-law," Chen Xiang took Shen Liancheng's words and asked, "What do you think Prince Rong means?" Gave up the great opportunity to unite the ministers to crusade against us, and at the same time made up such a ridiculous cause of death to fool everyone. What is his intention? ”
Shen Kuo stroked his gray beard, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Just imagine, if he doesn't have the attitude he has now, but unites everyone to deal with you, what result will he get?" ”
Chen Xiang and Shen Liancheng also thought about this question carefully.
If Prince Rong does this, it will cause them a lot of trouble, and even make them lose their hearts, and they will not be able to take the young emperor in charge of the affairs of the world well. There will be many voices opposing them, both in the government and in the opposition. However, that's not all. If you want to pass this matter, let them fall and replace them, there is still a lot of heat left.
"He can't deal a fatal blow to us." Chen Xiang came to a conclusion.
"When I was young on the battlefield, I used to say to the general, 'Since you can't hit the enemy's vital point, don't easily fire the arrows and crossbows in your hands.'" When the food is exhausted, and you find that you don't even have an arrow on your body, then there is no chance to turn around. Shen Kuo smiled, "Presumably, Prince Rong also listened to his mother's words." ”
"He wants to recharge his batteries and wait for the right time?" Shen Liancheng only felt that now was the best time. In the future, she and Chen Xiang will not give him another chance!
Chen Xiang was silent and did not make a sound.
Shen Kuo smiled heartily, "You should take more precautions." If he does not have the wind, he has no waves. This day is still to be passed forward. You guys, let's talk about it after the current stall. ”
"Yes, thank you grandfather-in-law for mentioning this." Chen Xiang bowed to Shen Kuo, and his heart was completely clear.
Shen Kuo nodded at him with satisfaction, knowing that he didn't have to say anything more to him. He glanced at his granddaughter, but he was a little worried. He turned to her and said almost seriously: "Aman, you won't go out much these days." If the Empress Dowager wants you to help see it, let her send someone to her home to see it. ”
"Why is that?" Shen Liancheng was puzzled.
"Beware of the baby in your womb." Shen Kuo said, "The first three months are the most critical time. It's an eventful time now, and I'm afraid that when you go out and walk around, you will have extreme ideas, and you will harm you and take revenge on your wife. ”
Chen Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What Grandfather Yue said is reasonable!" Then he blamed himself, "I've been thinking about Prince Rong these days, and I've been negligent." From today onwards, you are not allowed to go anywhere at home. ”
"......" Shen Liancheng opened his mouth, one hand unconsciously touched his abdomen, his heart was very precious, and he agreed without thinking too much.
She also doesn't want anything to go wrong with the child she rarely conceives. For the sake of the child, let her be a shrinking turtle at this time, and she is also willing. It's just that he has to pity Chen Xiang, he has to carry all the wind and rain alone.
Perhaps, Shen Kuo's guess was right. For a long time to come, Prince Rong kept filial piety day by day, and there was no change.
The rumors passed, and gradually no one talked about Mrs. Xiang's death. Up and down the government and the opposition, all the officials performed their duties, and the wind and waves were so calm that they almost frightened the good deeds.
Shen Liancheng successfully spent the first three months, but Chen Xiang still did not let her enter the palace every day to help the imperial concubine review the rules. Most of the time, the music is still delivered to the home by the people of Guo Temple. But she doesn't have to stay at home all day, and when she has free time, she always goes out to visit relatives and friends to relieve her boredom. It's just that there are more guards with me. Moreover, Li Ling Hongqi is always among them.
On this day, when I came back from the Taifu Mansion, I heard the slaves say, "On the way back from the Tianguan Mansion, Zun Gong was assassinated." ”
Shen Liancheng was frightened, and asked anxiously while striding towards the Jintang: "Where is the injury?" Is it heavy or not? ”
"The doctor came to see and treated, but it was just some skin trauma...... Don't worry, ma'am. The slave hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, lest she go fast and fall.
Shen Liancheng still carried his heart, and it was not until he saw Chen Xiang and saw that he was fine, that he slowly calmed down.
"What's going on? Why is there still anyone who wants to kill you? Shen Liancheng thought that Mrs. Xiang's incident had passed. Now there is another incident, I am afraid it is unusual.
Chen Xiang didn't care, "I'll bring more guards in the future." ”
"In the future, when you go out, take Li Ling and Hong Qi with you." Shen Liancheng said, "I don't need people here, I don't have anything to do but go out and walk around." ”
"Not necessarily."
"Yes." Shen Liancheng insisted.
Chen Xiang couldn't resist him, so he had to respond, "But you have to promise me that no matter where you go, you will inform me in advance." ”
"Hmm!"
