Chapter 293: Telling the Old Things is Shocking
Soon, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law came back to her life.
“…… He brought her in, and waited outside. Along the way, the slave and maid were extremely careful and did not touch anyone. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law reported to Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction, and asked the housekeeper's daughter-in-law to call Mama Li in to talk. Mama Li was brought in, and the people serving in the house were also sent out, leaving Mama Chang to serve by Liu Ruoxi's side alone, and the two big girls, June and Layue, went out to guard the door.
"Mama, please sit down and talk." Liu Ruoxi looked Mama Li up and down, and said with a smile.
Mama Li gave in for a while, and only then did she dare to sit on the pedal with her body leaning over.
"During the day, Mama told me some stories, which I listened to very interestingly, so I called Mama here. If you have any interesting stories, just tell me. Liu Ruoxi didn't make too much of a bend with Mama Li, and after saying these words, she glanced at Mama Chang.
Mama Chang prepared again, went to the side and took a wooden box back, and opened the wooden box in front of Mama Li.
Inside the wooden box, there are two ingots of full-colored gold ingots. The lamps had been turned on in the room, and the two ingots of gold shimmered with an alluring warm glow under the light. Mama Li's eyes widened when she saw the gold ingots in the wooden box, and her eyes lit up. This old lady has been a poor person in the palace for most of her life, and she has naturally seen a lot of silver, but such a whole ingot of gold is also very rare.
Mama Chang was a little stunned when she saw Mama Li's eyes, but she closed the lid of the wooden box with a click, and then put the wooden box on the low table next to her.
Mama Li was very close to the dwarf, and the gold in the wooden box could be said to be within her reach.
"Our lady never treats people badly." Mama Chang smiled meaningfully, "If the story told by Mama is interesting, our wife will be happy to hear it, and these two ingots of gold will be Mama's." ”
This Mama Li has been a messenger for so many years, and she can mix to the point of being honored, and she is obviously a person who understands the world. Liu Ruoxi is rich and generous. will not take out such two ingots of gold in vain to reward her for an old woman who has left the house and is honored.
Is it really "interesting" that the story is told, can Liu Ruoji be happy to reward her like this? She really had to be confused to think so.
Of course, Mama Li is not confused.
She has been a messenger for so many years, so she naturally knows how to look at people. Every master in this palace is not given for nothing. Liu Ruoxi suddenly said that she was bored and wanted to listen to some anecdotes to relieve her boredom, and the daughter-in-law in charge found her and said that this was a good opportunity to please Hou Ye and Hou Ye and his wife. Mrs. Hou is rich and generous, and will not treat her badly. So she came happily. The big guy accompanied Mrs. Hou and talked for a long time, it seemed that Mrs. Hou was really trying to relieve her boredom. But Mama Li doesn't really think like this. She sniffed out something.
In the evening, Mrs. Hou sent her confidant to call her again, and Mama Li had already guessed eight/nine points. At this time, Mama Chang took out the gold again, and Mama Li was no longer worried.
Gold is moving. Mama Li knew that if she wanted to get these two ingots of gold, the "story" she wanted to tell had to have this value. Although Liu Ruoxi did not show it obviously, but what Liu Ruoxi likes to listen to, this Mama Li accompanied Liu Ruoxi to talk for a long time, but she had a faint bottom in her heart.
“…… has already been rewarded by Mrs., but it is just to say some gossip to relieve Mrs. of boredom, where dare to ask Mrs. for such a heavy reward. Mama Li said with a smile.
Liu Ruoxi glanced at Mama Li again, although Mama Li spoke like this. But it can be seen from Mama Li's expression that Mama Li has been moved by gold. She was not mistaken, Mama Li was the easiest to speak. Before inviting a few old ladies to come in and speak, Liu Ruoxi had already arranged for someone to find out their details. This Mama Li was very decent in the palace when she was on an errand. But after leaving the house and raising him, because of his children and grandchildren, his life is now very poor.
What Mama Li needs most, Liu Ruoxi can give her. The premise is that Mama Li can tell her what she wants to know.
"Mama, don't be a burden." Liu Ruoxi laughed twice, "As long as I think it's worthwhile, I will get this reward." ”
"Just say it. There was no one else in the room. What you say in this room will never be passed out. It has nothing to do with you. Mama Chang also whispered to Mama Li.
Mama Li swallowed and foamed, feeling that her throat and eyes were a little dry. She had drunk tea when she came, and she wasn't thirsty at all. She was nervous, and at the same time longing for the two ingots of gold. Mama Li lowered her head and rubbed for a while, and finally made up her mind, raised her head and opened her mouth.
"Madame wants to listen to the story, so the old slave will try to talk about it."
"You say." Liu Ruoxi saw that Mama Li was finally going to speak, so she motioned to Mama Chang to bring a cup of tea to Mama Li.
Mama Li held the tea bowl, but did not drink it.
"The old slave is the son of the royal family, and he has been on an errand in the house since he was five or six years old." This Mama Li was on an errand in the palace from the time when King Yongjing was alive in the previous generation. It's just that she was young at that time, and she couldn't be on the stage, so she couldn't say anything about what happened at that time.
But the affairs of King Yongjing's generation, Mama Li is familiar with them.
"The old prince married the eldest girl of the Su family when he was an adult, and he entered the door, hey, at that time, it was also ten miles of red makeup, which dazzled people's eyes. Just like when the lady entered the door, the old slave's knowledge and the former princess's dowry were still a little inferior to the lady. ”
The former princess was also a well-known beauty and talented woman in the capital at that time, and after marrying the old prince, she was also very virtuous and virtuous. It's just that the world is unpredictable, the former princess died early, and Prince Yongjing remarried the cousin/sister of the former princess, and the fourteenth girl of the Su family at the same time, which is now the princess Su.
The former princess passed away, leaving behind her son Rong Chengyi and her son Rong Chengxiang.
"The old prince is a serious person, and he doesn't covet women. After marrying the former princess, he could have set up two side concubines, but the old prince decided not to marry again. is still the former princess Xianshu, after giving birth to a son, she selected the most beautiful and clever from the dowry girls around her to make the old prince a person around her. ”
"That girl's name is Hong Fei...... "Hong Fei is the former princess's dowry girl, she has grown up with the former princess almost since she was a child, she is smart and clever and very good at talking, and she is very loved and trusted by the former princess. It is precisely because of this that the former princess chose her to be the girl who made room for King Yongjing.
King Yongjing is not a woman, it can be said that the only women around him back then were the former princess and Hong Fei. Hongfei won the love and trust of the former princess like that. It is conceivable that Hongfei's life must have been very good at that time. However, Hong Fei was not arrogant because of this, but served the former princess more carefully.
After a few years like this, Hongfei finally gave birth to a son, which is Rong Chengxiang.
Although Hong Fei was born as a girl, she gave birth to a son and was loyal to the former princess, so the former princess wanted to try her best to promote her, and even proposed in front of the old prince that she wanted to fight for Hong Fei to be canonized as a side concubine.
The old prince didn't mean this. But she couldn't stand the repeated requests of the former princess, and Hong Fei was tactful and gentle. The old prince finally nodded.
A marrying girl to a side concubine can really be described as a sparrow turning into a phoenix, and she has ascended to the sky in one step. But this is not because of how Hong Fei won the favor of the old prince, but because the former princess believed in Hong Fei, and Hong Fei gave birth to a son for the old prince after all.
Speaking of this, Mama Li said that her mouth was a little dry, so she stopped and took a sip of tea.
Liu Ruoxi and Mama Chang exchanged a look, and they were shocked in their hearts. Everyone in the palace knows that Rong Chengxiang is a concubine. At the same time, Rong Chengxiang is almost a concubine whose birth/mother is unknown. The palace is secretive about who Rong Chengxiang's biological / mother is. No one has ever mentioned Rong Chengxiang's biological / mother. According to Liu Ruoxi's knowledge, Rong Chengxiang's biological mother died shortly after giving birth to him.
No one has ever mentioned that Rong Chenghan's biological / mother was once canonized as a side concubine. Liu Ruoxi didn't know that Prince Yongjing had a side concubine at all.
Such a big event, even after many years. It shouldn't be forgotten so clean, never mentioned by anyone.
"Naturally, a gag order was issued, and the old prince personally gave a gag order." Mama Li sued Liu Ruoji. Even after so many years, now Mama Li is talking about these things in front of Liu Ruoxi. It is also very risky.
However, those two ingots of gold were too tempting, and Liu Ruoxi also promised not to let today's words spread, so Mama Li dared to tell these old things.
"What's going on?" Liu Ruoxi asked with a slight frown. "Could it be the death ...... the former princess?"
"It's not." Mama Li hurriedly shook her head.
Although the former princess died young, there is nothing suspicious about the cause of the former princess's death. It happened after the death of the former princess.
"Shi Ziye was originally a very healthy child." Mama Li continued to sue Liu Ruoxi.
When the former princess passed away, Rong Chengyi was only a few years old. The old prince is not only not good at women, but also keen on government affairs and is busy all day long. After the death of the former princess, the old prince did not remarry immediately, because Hong Fei was gentle and reliable, and received the deep grace of the former princess, and had a deep affection with the former princess, and was very trusted by the former princess, Rong Chengyi was handed over to the side concubine Hong Fei to take care of.
There was no concubine in the palace, and Hong Fei was responsible for taking care of the prince as a side concubine, and soon Hong Fei mastered the internal affairs of the palace. Originally, when the former princess was there, it was not obvious, but now that Hong Fei is in charge of the princess, she shows her intelligence and ability.
Hongfei managed the palace in an orderly manner, and also took good care of the prince Rong Chengyi.
However, the old prince can't live without a concubine, and the Su family has long planned to marry the fourteen girls in the family to the old prince as a stepfamily, continuing the good relationship between the two surnames of the two families, and also to better take care of the prince Rong Chengyi. The old prince is not very concerned about remarriage, but this is what he must do.
In this way, the Su family married into the palace.
Liu Ruoxi listened to Mama Li's narration in a deep voice, it turned out that the Su family had married in such a situation. The old prince doesn't care, and there is a side concubine who is deeply trusted and has already given birth in the hall, and the Su family will not have a good time when they marry in.
But now that Hong Fei is no longer in the palace, and even the traces of her past have been eliminated so cleanly, something big must have happened during this period. Liu Ruoxi motioned to Mama Li to hurry up and continue.
"When the princess entered the door, the prince was handed over to the princess to take care of. The prince was fine, but soon after the princess entered the door, the prince was taken care of more thoughtfully, but the prince's body gradually deteriorated, and he had several serious illnesses one after another......"
After the death of the former princess, although the old prince was busy with government affairs, he regarded Rong Chengyi as a treasure with eyeballs. Rong Chengyi is sick, how can the old prince not be in a hurry.
But no matter how many doctors are found to come for consultation, no matter how much medicine is taken, Su Shi will take care of them thoroughly. Rong Chengyi's body is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
The old prince became suspicious. The object of the old prince's suspicion is the princess Su. And after careful investigation, all the doubts also came down to Su Shi. Su's life is naturally becoming more and more difficult.
Because the old prince was suspicious of the Su family, he protected Rong Chengyi more carefully, so he simply took Rong Chengyi with him. The old prince thinks that in this way, no one can harm Rong Chengyi again. But tragedy happened.
Rong Chengyi fell ill again, unlike the previous times, this time Rong Chengyi was diagnosed as poisoned. Moreover, the person who poisoned him was extremely heavy, and Rong Chengyi was worried about his life. At that time, the imperial physician even sued King Yongjing, even if he could save Rong Chengyi's life. But Rong Chengyi's body was also abolished.
The abolition of the body not only means that he will not be able to lead the troops to fight in the future, but Rong Chengyi will not even be able to have his own heirs. It can be seen from this that the poisoner has a vicious intention.
The old prince was grief-stricken, and immediately issued an order to save Rong Chengyi no matter what.
This incident even alarmed the palace, not only the Tai Hospital, but even the famous doctors from the counties near and far were summoned, just to save Rong Chengyi.
"It's also the former princess who has a spirit in the sky." Mama Li recited the Buddha.
The imperial doctor in the palace relied on elixir and medical skills to hang Rong Chengyi's life, and famous doctors from all over the world gathered to discuss the prescription together, and finally saved Rong Chengyi's life. Rong Chengyi not only saved his life. Later, the body slowly recovered, although it was not comparable to before, but it was not as useless as the original doctor asserted.
Of course, that's another story.
Rong Chengyi's life was saved. The old prince finally relieved himself and investigated the poisoning of Rong Chengyi. Of course, this matter has been under investigation for a long time. And there are already some eyebrows. All the doubts pointed to the princess Su again.
Su Shi was almost speechless. The old prince first wanted to divorce the Su family, but then he thought that it was Rong Chengyi's foreign family after all, and considering the face of the Su family, the old prince allowed the Su family to cut himself, and vowed never to marry the concubine again.
The daughter of the Su family who married in is a cousin with the former princess, and she is also known as a virtuous person, but she treats Rong Chengyi like this, what can she do if she marries another woman. The old prince decided that he could no longer take risks and could not put Rong Chengyi in danger.
Just when everyone thought that Su was dead, there was a sudden turnaround.
This turning point is Rong Chengyi.
Rong Chengyi knew that the old prince was going to deal with the Su family, and although he saved his life at that time, his body was still very weak. Rong Chengyi, regardless of his weakness, ran to the old prince and stopped the old prince.
Rong Chengyi told the old prince that the Su family was really good to him, and the person who harmed him was not the Su family.
Of course, the old prince refused to believe it, so much evidence pointed to the Su family, and the Su family was also the most motivated, who else could it be if it wasn't the Su family. The old prince thought that Rong Chengyi was young and soft-hearted, and he was deceived by the Su family.
But Rong Chengyi was very persistent, saying that Su was good. Rong Chengyi even used his life to guarantee the Su family.
The old prince asked Rong Chengyi, it was not the Su family who harmed him, so who was it.
"The prince told the old prince that the person who harmed him was not the princess, but the side concubine Hongfei." When Mama Li said this, she seemed to recall the situation at that time, and her eyes narrowed. "The prince has been extremely smart since he was a child, if it were other children, I was afraid that he would still be confused. But the big guys were all blinded by Hongfei, but the prince found out the truth. ”
Rong Chengyi said that the person who harmed him was Hong Fei, not only others, but also the old prince was surprised. When the former princess was there, Hong Fei was loyal, even after being canonized as a side concubine, the former princess and Rong Chengyi still regarded themselves as slaves. After the death of the former princess, Hong Fei took care of Rong Chengyi even more dedicatedly. Rong Chengyi never said anything about Hongfei.
Why did Rong Chengyi suddenly say that it was Hong Fei who poisoned him.
Rong Chengyi asked the old prince to believe him, and pointed out the doubts that everyone ignored or never noticed. On that day, what Rong Chengyi said to the old prince, except for the two of them and the Su family who were present, no one else knew.
But after Rong Chengyi's conversation with the old prince, the old prince's attitude suddenly changed, and he ordered Hong Fei to be arrested.
The person who poisoned Rong Chengyi was Hong Fei, who used the people and power in her hands to secretly poison Rong Chengyi and blame the Su family, trying to make Su and Rong Chengyi lose both, so that she could benefit from the fisherman. Originally, she had succeeded, although Rong Chengyi did not die, but the Su family would definitely die, and the old prince also swore that he would not marry again. Sooner or later, this palace will belong to her and her son. But she hid it from everyone, but she didn't hide it from Rong Chengyi at a young age.
No matter how severe the crime of poisoning and poisoning the prince is, even the concubine Su will not escape death, let alone a side concubine from a girl. The old prince hated Hong Fei's cruelty and ingratitude, and ordered Hong Fei to be killed. There are countless people in the palace who were implicated and killed by this incident, and after that, the palace has undergone a major blood change. Only a very small number of those who know the truth remained.
also because it was an inner house scandal, and for Rong Chengxiang's consideration, the old prince issued a strict gag order.
Liu Ruoxi nodded secretly, it turned out to be so. Then it's no wonder that no one knows Hongfei.
"The old slave was a few people at that time, and they all said that Hongfei was dead. The old slave knew that she was ...... And not dead. (To be continued......)
