Chapter 41: The Wife in the Backyard

At this moment, people in the Yuwang Mansion are also panicking. The three ladies were all anxious when they learned that the prince's army was poisoned by the Northern Desert people, Xu Yun fainted immediately when she heard the news, and Concubine Zhou cried nonstop, only Concubine Fu was a little calmer, and she was still able to sit in the mansion and preside over the overall situation. She first met with her grandfather in a hurry, understood the situation, and only relieved her mind a little after knowing that the prince was not poisoned.

"The emperor has ordered the prince's army to come to the rescue, as long as it is ahead of the people of the Northern Desert, it will be no big problem."

Fu Yuan nodded, she had already settled down, but when she turned her head, she saw that her grandfather was still full of sadness, so she asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, is there anything wrong?" Why do you look so worried? ”

Mr. Fu sighed, paced forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, and Fu Yuan was so anxious that she wanted to speak, she hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, if there is any hidden secret, you must tell Yuan'er truthfully, the prince is Yuan'er's husband, I have the right to know the truth more than anyone else, you love Yuan'er the most, I can't bear to watch me be widowed just after I got married!" ”

The old prime minister sighed again and said slowly: "I'm afraid that even if you know, it will only increase your worries, and there are some things that we can't intervene in to stop." The old gentleman cautiously looked around to confirm that the wall was earless, and then lowered his voice to say his guess: "This matter originally originated from the prince, and it was the prince who first reported to the emperor that the prince was poisoned, and conclusively identified it as the Northern Desert people, but the emperor sent spies to investigate the situation, but the prince did not make up his mind about the murderer...... With the old man's understanding of the prince, if it was really the hand of the Northern Desert people, it was impossible for him to fail to find clues. ”

Fu Yuan vaguely understood what his grandfather was referring to, and asked tentatively: "Do you suspect that the murderer is ......?"

"From beginning to end, the crown prince was the only one who identified the Northern Desert, and on the other hand, before the emperor summoned us to the cabinet to discuss this matter, the prince was extremely positive, and repeatedly said that he should send troops to support the prince, such an attitude is quite abnormal. Originally, the old man thought that the prince was just to show the emperor, so he didn't think too deeply, but who knew that the prince's army set off in a hurry the next day, so the old man couldn't help but think about it too much. ”

Fu Yuan nodded, "Indeed, the prince and the prince have always been hostile, and when the prince has an accident, the happiest person should be the prince, according to common sense, he should not actively rescue." ”

The old prime minister closed his eyes to show affirmation, "What is the purpose of the weasel to give the chicken a New Year's greeting?" I'm afraid I want to swallow the chicken in one bite. ”

"So...... So this matter may have been planned by the prince from beginning to end, and his purpose ......" Fu Yuan analyzed the incident from beginning to end, "His purpose is not just as simple as killing people." ”

"yes, I'm afraid the poisoning is just a bait for this whole thing, and the real drama has just begun."

The grandfather and grandson glanced at each other, and they already felt that they were in danger.

In the wing room on the other side, Concubine Zhou's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she didn't expect that she was only a few days old when she married into the palace, and she was facing the risk of losing her husband. So I could only lie on the windowsill and cry non-stop.

The maid persuaded beside her: "Miss, although it is embarrassing for the prince to encounter such a disaster, but you also think about it from the good, this time is really a blessing in misfortune!" ”

Concubine Zhou cried and scolded when she heard this: "Where is there any luck! Isn't it bad enough right now! ”

The maid was not discouraged by her reprimand, but closed the doors and windows around with great skill, and reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, think about it, if you go to the Northern Desert with the prince this time, wouldn't the situation be even worse!" ”

After she said this, Concubine Zhou stopped crying as if she had just woken up from a dream.

The maid saw that her enlightenment had worked, and she made persistent efforts and said: "Think about it, the prince chose Concubine Lu between you and Concubine Lu that day, and it was also his own arrangement in the dark, otherwise it would be you, Miss, who would suffer this time!" Not only is it very likely that he will die halfway, but even if he is captured alive by the Northern Desert people, it is estimated that he will only survive for the rest of his life! ”

"That's right," Concubine Zhou seemed to suddenly wake up like a dream, "The worst thing now is not us, it's Concubine Lu!" ”

The maid nodded slyly, "Back then, we complained that we had gone to great lengths to make a wedding dress for her, but who knew that God had mercy on us and let others suffer on our behalf." ”

Concubine Zhou nodded thoughtfully, at that time, in order to be able to accompany the Northern Desert, she drugged Xu Yun and Concubine Fu's soothing soup, and in order to reduce her suspicion, she specially left Lu Xiaohan safe and sound, originally thought that the person who the prince didn't want to see was her, but the prince finally chose Lu Xiaohan. Because of this, she was so angry that she stayed in the room for a few days and did not go out, but now that she thought about it, she was very relieved, and the grief in her heart was reduced by half.

Man is such a strange creature that when he knows that others have suffered more on his behalf, his present suffering immediately becomes lucky.

And Xu Yun in the other room has been bedridden since he fainted after getting the news, and his already weak body is now even weaker. She has been ruined since she was a child, has no relatives, no friends, is alone and lonely in this world, and whispering is the only concern in her life, if she has a choice, she would rather encounter disaster is herself.

The maid took the chicken soup that had been heated several times and persuaded: "Miss, you just drink two sips of soup, if you continue like this, even if the prince comes back safe and sound, your body will almost collapse!" ”

Xu Yun leaned on the head of the bed, her eyes were empty, "My illness is caused by the prince, if the prince can come back safely, I will naturally be cured of any illness." After a pause, she lay down with her hands on her pillows, "You put your things down, I'll drink them later." ”

Qingqiu sighed and left the room with a frown. On the way to the kitchen, she was still in the situation of the young lady, and she was thinking about how to make the young lady feel a little more relaxed, so she was distracted and collided with someone head-on.

"What room is the maid! Why are you so careless, you will hit people when you walk! It was Concubine Fu's dowry maid Hui'er who spoke, she and her master were originally standing by the corridor talking, watching Qingqiu rush over recklessly from a distance, thinking that if she approached her, she would bypass people, but it was like she ran straight into Fu Yuan.

Qingqiu hurriedly apologized: "The slave knows the mistake, the slave knows the mistake, and the slave knows the mistake, so I didn't see the mother for a while, and Qingqiu made amends to the mother!" ”

Fu Yuan saw the new look on her face, thinking that something had happened to her master, so she said with concern: "It's not a trivial matter." I saw you in a hurry just now, but what's the problem? ”

Qingqiu hesitated for a while, but then thought that Concubine Fu was resourceful and might be able to come up with an idea for herself, so she immediately knelt down and asked her for help: "Please Niangniang think of saving our young lady!" ”

Fu Yuan and Hui'er looked at each other and were very surprised, so they hurriedly helped Qingqiu up, "Don't worry, make it clear slowly." ”
