The palace fight of the concubine (11)
When rumors spread, the most anxious and angry is undoubtedly the queen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoCai Jia, as a son-in-law, has performed well in the past day, and for many courtiers, Cai Jia is the best choice to become the prince. The Great Liang Kingdom has always valued Confucian meritocracy, and if Cai Jia and Liu Ximeng are confirmed and there is a loss in virtue, it will be difficult to get the support of the ministers of the court. The queen knew this very well, so she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Bastard! How can there be such rumors? Who the hell came out of it! The queen angrily questioned the palace people, and said to her own personal palace maid Zihe, "Check! Check it out for this palace! Let's see who dares to spread such rumors! ”
The palace maid Zihe hurriedly said, "Niangniang, now that it has been spread inside and outside the palace, what's the point of worrying about who spread the rumors?" The most important thing now is to calm down this matter for His Highness. ”
The queen knew that what Zihe said was reasonable, and there was really no need to worry about who was saying it at the moment, so she changed her words, "Then think about it, stop this rumor first." The queen took a step, suddenly paused, and asked Zihe again, "Does Xu Guifei know about this?" ”
Zihe pondered for a moment, and replied uncertainly, "I think I should know." Now that it has been spread all over the palace, how could Xu Guifei not know. ”
The queen felt a little more relieved at this time, and when she heard that it was not conducive to Cai Jia, she was so confused that she forgot that there was another Cai Zhen involved. Xu Guifei is so precious to her son, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the queen doesn't believe that Xu Guifei will do nothing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Wait for the palace to change clothes, and the palace is going to Concubine Xu." ”
Zihe was busy, and the other palace people also moved.
When it was time for the queen to change her clothes, people had completely calmed down. After making sure that she didn't see anything wrong at all, the queen took the palace people to Ruohe Palace.
The palace people said that when the queen came, Ruo He was lying comfortably on the chaise longue, and the queen's arrival was not only expected by her, but she was unwilling to welcome it.
When the queen stepped into the hall, Ruo He had just gotten up, and the queen couldn't help but wonder when she saw her so lazy, it was such a time, she was not nervous at all, it was really not like her.
"How did the queen come here?" Ruo He greeted the queen with a curious face.
The queen looked at her, "Naturally, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Ruo He welcomed her to the seat, and didn't wait for Ruo He to follow the words and ask, the queen had already opened her mouth first and continued, "There have been rumors in the palace in the past two days, but the concubine's sister hasn't heard of it?" ”
"Is it about Prince Jia?" Ruo He deliberately did not mention Liu Ximeng, and only reported Cai Jia's name.
The queen was dissatisfied after hearing this, and corrected, "It's Jia'er and Zhen's daughter-in-law's matter." ”
Ruo He sighed and replied as usual, "I heard." ”
"I've heard that you're still so calm?" The queen's voice immediately rose an octave, and she said clearly, "That's your son's wife." ”
Ruo He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and asked indifferently, "So what?" ”
The queen was a little dumbfounded, and for a while she didn't know what Ruohe's performance meant, what it was called, it was her son's wife, her daughter-in-law. Now that her daughter-in-law has been slandered and has an affair with others, she is still so calm, isn't she afraid that her son will be embarrassed, and she will also be ashamed? Thinking so, the queen also asked.
Obviously, before she came, the queen felt that she had calmed down, and she also thought that she could form a brief alliance with Xu Guifei and join forces to erase this matter first, but she never thought that Ruo He would react like this, and she was not even nervous about her own affairs at all, as if it was something that had nothing to do with her. If she doesn't really think it doesn't matter, she's acting for herself.
The queen pondered for a moment, and then chose the latter.
"It turns out that the queen came for this." Ruo He covered his mouth and grinned, "The queen is really a good mother, as soon as she heard that something happened to her son, she was so anxious to think about it." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The more the queen thought about it, it didn't feel right. "Could it be that your son has an accident, and you are still ready to watch from the sidelines?"
Ruohe shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "My son didn't have an accident, isn't it your son who had an accident?" ”
"You ......" the queen glared, as if she understood something in an instant. But it's especially hard to believe.
The queen left after staying in Ruohe Palace for less than a moment, not as calm as when she came, and she looked angry and ruined when she left.
Ruo He watched the queen's back go farther and farther, and said loudly, "Qingyuan, this fire is not burning enough, and then I want to fan the wind." ”
"The slave and maid understand."
Ruohe instructed Qingyuan to create public opinion, while waiting for Cai Zhen's appearance. It's about Liu Ximeng, if you think that Cai Zhen will definitely come to find his mother to find a way to erase this rumor, because in the original plot, when Liu Ximeng and Cai Jia's matter was stabbed, Cai Zhen came to Xu Guifei to have an idea, even if everyone passed it on to be true, he still believed in Liu Ximeng's innocence.
Now that things have been spread all over the city, I believe that Cai Zhen will appear soon. It's just that she waited for seven days before Cai Zhen appeared in front of her. And Cai Zhen was not impatient when he appeared, but looked a little depressed, as if he had been hit halfway.
Ruohe looked at Cai Zhen, who was lost and depressed, and asked him softly after holding back the others, "Zhen'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Mother." Cai Zhen looked like she wanted to cry without tears, and she precipitated for a long time before saying, "Mother, there is a personal relationship between Liu Ximeng and Cai Jia. ”
Why blink and try to say, "Zhen'er is bothered by today's rumors?" ”
Cai Zhen shook his head, "It's not a rumor, it's a fact!" Liu Ximeng has an affair with Cai Jia! In the second half of the sentence, Cai Zhen squeezed out from between his teeth.
Ruohe raised his eyebrows sharply, sat down in front of Cai Zhen, and let him speak slowly.
Cai Zhen told Ruo He everything about the rumors.
Today's Cai Zhen is different from Cai Zhen in the original plot, Cai Zhen at that time was not reused by the emperor, and his knowledge of handling things was narrow, so he could only come to Xu Guifei for help if he had a problem, but now Cai Zhen has his own opinions in terms of tempering, thinking and handling things because of the emperor. When the rumors of Liu Ximeng and Cai Jia spread, Cai Zhen also didn't believe it, so he thought of using his own strength to dispel these rumors.
Borrowing external forces to suppress the rumors is one thing, and the other is naturally to break the rumors with Liu Ximeng, but he didn't expect him to mention this matter to Liu Ximeng, and Liu Ximeng reacted very much. Cai Zhen felt that something was wrong, and after some questioning, he asked about Liu Ximeng's long-term love for Cai Jia. Later, Cai Jia's private belongings were found from Liu Ximeng's bedroom, and Cai Zhen completely believed the rumors.
"Mother, what should I do now?" Thinking that the wife he finally asked to marry was actually concerned about his brother, Cai Zhen had to grit his teeth.
Ruohe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, God really helped her, she didn't expect things to be so crooked, and she didn't have to bother to appease Cai Zhen here.
Raising his hand and touching Cai Zhen's head, he asked him in a motherly manner, "What do you want to do?" Ask your heart, what do you want to do? ”
Cai Zhen blushed and shook his head indiscriminately, "I don't know." (To be continued.) )
