Chapter 87

After the questioning, the prince asked a few of them to go back to rest after falling into the water.

Then everyone present was interrogated one by one.

The prince presided over the trial, and Nan'anhou jurored.

Not to mention what happened to the investigation or not, just the prince's promotion to the Nan'anhou Mansion was the face of the entire Nan'anhou Mansion.

And those noble ladies who were arraigned as prisoners naturally did not say that this account was calculated on the head of the prince, and the mastermind behind it had not been caught, so they naturally recorded this account on the head of the Nan'an Hou Mansion first.

Nan Anhou has a hard time, and he has to accompany the smiling face, and he should do whatever the prince says.

After the prince asked, he was not in a hurry to make any conclusions, and asked all the young ladies who were present that day to go back before dark.

The three-day birthday banquet of the old lady of Nan'an Hou Mansion ended hastily.

After the prince returned to the palace, he was summoned by Empress Yuan.

Empress Yuan retreated, and said directly: "You are making such a big noise outside, your father and emperor have sent someone to ask in the afternoon." ”

The crown prince smiled, "Don't you just want your father to know?" In the past few years, I am afraid that the life of the imperial concubine has been too comfortable, and she has become bold, and she dares to think about anything. The spring hunt has just ended, and now I'm thinking about something else. ”

Empress Yuan shook her head helplessly, "You have a big idea now, and you have your own ideas." The queen mother hopes that the wife in the harem will be peaceful......"

"Queen Mother!" The prince interrupted, "We want to live in peace, but there are always people who don't stop. There is something I haven't told you yet, I was thinking of solving it myself, but now I'm afraid I'm going to talk to you. ”

The prince told Queen Yuan about the incident behind the rockery that day.

When Empress Yuan heard this, she was stunned and said, "A family like Nan'an Hou Mansion would actually raise such a concubine?!" ”

The prince nodded, "This time Zhu Yun also fell into the water, and I heard her say that it was indeed the maid of the Nan'an Hou Mansion who said something to lead her to the edge of the guardrail...... Now that the face of our clan has taught people to step on the ground, you say that if I don't do anything, don't I fuel the flames of those lard-covered things? ”

Empress Yuan groaned, and soon understood what the prince meant.

He originally wanted to deal with this matter privately, as long as the relationship between the concubine and Zhu Yun's fiancé was a little more transparent to the king of Nanping County, and then it was the family matter of the palace of Nanping County. But right now, there are people in Nan'an Hou Mansion who want Zhu Yun's life!

The prince took advantage of the situation to make a big deal about it, investigated the matter thoroughly, and made the matter of the wild mandarin duck public, not to mention that the reputation of the Nan'an Hou Mansion plummeted, and even the imperial concubine would be implicated.

A family that can raise a girl who fornicates with a foreign man, no matter who the woman who comes out of there, has no confidence to straighten her waist and speak in the future!

The third prince had been taken away from the imperial concubine a few days ago, but the imperial concubine was still thinking about currying favor with the emperor and regaining the custody of the three princes.

Now once such a scandal breaks out, the imperial concubine's illusions will be shattered.

An imperial concubine who does not have a prince by her side has the ability to reach the sky, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

Empress Yuan and the emperor have a happy relationship, and the affairs of the harem are discussed, even when the imperial concubine was established, it was also Empress Yuan who thought that the third prince was big, and in order to facilitate him to walk outside in the future, she raised Concubine Jing to raise her.

Who knew that people's hearts were not enough to swallow elephants, Concubine Jing used to look at such a peaceful person, and after sitting in the position of the imperial concubine for a few years, she changed as a person.

"There is one more thing," Empress Yuan said, "I heard that you personally went into the water to save the people today?" ”

The prince touched his nose, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, "It was urgent, and I was also anxious." But I know how to be watery, and my mother knows it, so don't worry about me. ”

Empress Yuan gave him a strange look, "You know what I'm talking about, don't interrupt." I know that you are saving Runrun, you have known each other since childhood, and you have always been good, but in the end she is a big girl, you personally save people......"

"Now that people have been saved, you can see ...... queen mother"

"I see? What can I discern? Empress Yuan looked at the prince who suddenly became stunned and embarrassed, "You also know the Li family......

The crown prince raised his head, his eyes burning, "I know from the Li family, it was you who wanted it a few years ago. But you haven't let Li Nianyu enter the palace for a long time, isn't there something hidden from me? ”

Empress Yuan sighed, "It's just one thing I heard in private, and I didn't do it accurately." I didn't mean to hide it from you, and since you asked, I might as well tell you. ”

It turned out that after Empress Yuan selected Li Nianyu as the candidate for the crown princess, she heard that Li Nianyu's maternal heirs were quite difficult. Her grandmother died in childbirth, and only one mother was born. Her mother also gave birth to only one son and one daughter, and both times she almost died.

The crown princess is the future queen, although it is not necessary to have many children, but it is necessary to give birth to a candidate who can inherit the throne. If Li Nianyu's maternal family is quite difficult in terms of heirs, or really lost her life for the sake of childbirth, then the prince's harem must be unpeaceful.

As a mother, Empress Yuan has to think more about her son.

She also asked the imperial doctor later, and the imperial doctor couldn't say why, only said that it might be a coincidence, after all, when a woman gave birth, she stepped into the ghost gate with one foot. But it could also be a hidden disease that is really inherited......

Because of this incident, the selection of the crown princess has not been decided for a long time.

Now that the prince has a skin-to-skin relationship with Runrun, Queen Yuan really doesn't know how to decide.

"Since this is the case, I will first accept Li Nianyu into the palace as a side concubine."

"You're going to ......"

The crown prince nodded, very calmly, "The queen mother is so good with her father, you can naturally understand better than me, in this royal family, true feelings are precious." ”

Queen Yuan didn't understand why the prince suddenly had a 'true love' with Runrun. However, the prince has grown up in the end, and the prince of a country has his own ideas about things and people.

And what the prince thought was that he didn't express his opinion before because it didn't make much difference to him who the crown princess was.

But now, he clearly understands that some things are indeed different.

When there was no news after Runrun fell into the water, he was so anxious that he really jumped into the water without thinking about it. That kind of desperate reaction is something he has never had in the past ten years.

Maybe it wasn't from that moment, maybe it was as early as the time of the spring hunt, when Runrun got off the white horse, a little face was full of fear, but he still walked towards him step by step firmly, or perhaps, it was many years ago, when she was a little person, soft and glutinous, and shouted sweetly behind her with a 'cousin'......

Runrun, she was the first to go back from Nan'an Hou Mansion.

Because the clothes on the body don't fit, the family knows that something is wrong at a glance, and when they ask carefully, they can't help but gasp!

The old lady almost fainted in a hurry.

Runrun hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Grandmother, don't worry, don't you think I'm doing well now?" It's just a thrill. ”

The old lady held her forehead and said, "Fortunately, you are in danger, if something really happens, can you teach your grandmother how to live?" ”

Runrun also blamed himself a little, if he was more careful at that time, he would not have been dragged down, and his grandmother was so worried now.

The old lady began to chase people again: "Don't wait in front of me, go back and rest." Don't go to Nan'anhou Mansion tomorrow. ”

Although the birthday banquet will be held for three days, today's trouble, I am afraid that the banquet on the third day will definitely not be completed, and there is naturally no need to go tomorrow.

She spoke to the old lady for a while, and relieved her heart. The old lady later asked where Su Shi, who was with her at the time of the incident, and Runrun made a mistake and went back for Su Shi. If the old lady knew that the Su family had no intention of caring about her at all in order to have a relationship with Mrs. Nan Anhou at that time, she would have to make trouble again.

And the next day, news was released in the East Palace that Shen Yujun of the Nan'an Hou Mansion had ill intentions and intended to frame people's lives, and had been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, waiting for the next interrogation.

As soon as this news came out, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt.

Soon, the private relationship between Shen Yujun and the prince of the country was revealed.

Although the news from the East Palace did not specify who Shen Yujun framed, everyone with a little color knew that it was obviously Zhu Yun, who had a marriage contract with the prince of the country.

Soon, the resignation of the priest of the country.

The emperor did not allow it, but only dissolved the marriage between the two families, and reprimanded his son for being unfaithful and unkind.

As for the Nan'an Hou Mansion, although the emperor did not reprimand, only fell into the emperor's judgment that 'the family is not strictly governed', but the embarrassment of his exit was clearly revealed.

This is the end of the matter.

At the beginning of April, the emperor decreed that Li Nianyu, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the prince's concubine, and the wedding date was scheduled for June.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Because of this holy decree, the capital suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere. Many people are eager to try, but many people are stable.

And the Ye family is one of the few people who has not been affected by this.

After Runrun was rescued by the prince, Ye Ling personally entered the palace to thank him, expressed his loyalty and thanked him, and did not say a word or ask more, and soon came out of the palace.

When the holy decree came down, many people hit the Ye family with their abacus, but they found that Ye Ling had already arranged for Runrun to go to the nunnery outside the city to recuperate. When everyone didn't notice, Runrun and his party had quietly left the capital.
