The eldest princess, who was flustered and out of proportion, hurriedly returned to her Danyang Palace and ordered the maid to unload the pearl hairpin and jade ornaments on her head, and then put on a more elegant beige robe, and told Mother Chen to prepare the sedan chair and prepare to go out.

"Auntie, where are you going? The nephew advised the aunt not to panic, the more panicked she was, the easier it was to fall into the trap of others! He said.

Xu Qingxuan had something to say, and it was impossible for the eldest princess not to hear it, and she had a little suspicion in her heart, so she asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Qingxuan lowered his voice and said: "It's not convenient to talk here, the eldest aunt might as well change into a more solemn dress, and after coming out, come to the nearby Lanxiang Pavilion, my nephew has something to discuss with you!" ”

The eldest princess also knew about the relationship between Xu Qingxuan and the Tarot prince, and after thinking about it in her heart, she nodded and agreed.

Although I don't know what Xu Qingxuan wants to discuss with him, I can also have a hunch that it must have something to do with the fact that I went to see the Tarot prince, so the eldest princess changed into a gold-rimmed pipa jacket, a pink brocade silk satin skirt, a bright golden peony pattern, combed a high Lingyun bun, inserted a branch of red gold inlaid pomegranate step, and went out openly.

I don't know if it's a thief, the eldest princess, who has always been holding a shelf in front of Wei Guogong, actually bowed very humbly at this moment and said, "Grandpa Guo, this is going to the government?" ”

Wei Guogong also looked at the eldest princess's gorgeous dress curiously, and seemed to be a little unaccustomed to dazzling, nodded and hummed, and asked, "Her Royal Highness the princess is dressed up, but where are you going to attend the banquet?" ”

There was no mention of why Mama Qin was arrested.

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "No, it's about to be the day of the sacrificial ceremony, and the emperor ordered me to assist Lord Li of Taichang Temple in preparing for this year's sacrificial ceremony." ”

Every year on December 15th, the emperor will hold a grand sacrifice to ask about the fortune of the country and his own fate, of course, there are also those Taoist priests who pretend to be ghosts and pour ecstasy soup for the emperor, such as the eldest princess.

Wei Guogong snorted coldly in his heart, and sighed nonchalantly, and coped: "Then Her Royal Highness the princess will share the worries for the emperor!" I'm going to go to the government now! ”

The eldest princess gave way, and after Wei Guogong walked away, she led her maid out of the door, and hurried to the Lanxiang Pavilion behind Wei Guogong's mansion, where Xu Qingxuan was really waiting for her.

Seeing that there was no one around, the eldest princess walked in quickly and asked Xu Qingxuan, "Do you have anything to discuss with this palace?" ”

Xu Qingxuan turned around, gave a bow to the eldest princess, and replied unhurriedly: "Auntie, why did Mama Qin be accused at this time, didn't you really think about what was wrong with this?"

The eldest princess frowned, and then heard him continue: "You just want to go to the Sakura Pavilion to find Prince Tarot when you go out now, right?" ”

"The matter of the Zhong family, although it is Mama Qin, but everyone knows that Mama Qin is the person next to you of the eldest princess, if something goes wrong with you now, that is, the emperor wants to protect you, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!"

After a pause, he said again: "The emperor is the princess, but if something involves the royal face, I'm afraid the first person to want to punish you is the emperor!" ”

Before Xu Qingxuan's words were finished, the eldest princess shouted angrily: "Bold! You're slandering Hongu! This was originally to hide the fear in his heart, but it was obvious that he wanted to cover it up.

Xu Qingxuan didn't completely break it, but just pulled the corners of his lips and chuckled inexplicably, and this smile made the eldest princess feel embarrassed, knowing that Xu Qingxuan was already very euphemistic when she said this, but she didn't dare to admit it in order to hold the shelf.

However, the eldest princess still understood a meaning from Xu Qingxuan's words, that is, if she goes to Prince Tarot now, it is likely that she will be broken by everyone, and then the private relationship between her and Prince Tarot will no longer be able to hide it, the royal brother married her to Zhong Qi in order to help her cover up this matter, if it is revealed again, then she is a red apricot who does not abide by women's morals, it doesn't matter if her reputation is bad, it makes the royal family lose face, how can the royal brother tolerate her?

It's a trap!

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you say?" Who is suing Mama Qin? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Xu Qingxuan replied: "Who has Mama Qin offended recently, I don't know if the eldest aunt knows what she wants?" ”

The eldest princess's eyes flashed.

"You mean, Shu Xuan?"

"I heard that the eldest aunt sent someone to burn the eldest brother's study yesterday, and asked Mama Qin to kidnap Mrs. Yang at night, although I don't know why Mrs. Yang did not fall into the hands of the eldest aunt, but these accounts, the eldest brother will definitely remember them!" Xu Qingxuan paused and said, "Once a person is forced to be in a hurry, the flames of revenge will be overwhelming!" ”

The eldest princess couldn't help but shrink her pupils, and she couldn't hide her fear.

At this time, Xu Qingxuan took the wording, changed a more relaxed posture, and continued: "The person who sued Mama Qin is the wife of a Langzhong Ruan in the Criminal Department, I heard that the lady turned out to be just a maidservant, it was Mrs. Zhong who gave her slave status and accepted her as a righteous daughter, and later married Ruan Xian as a young lady of the official family as a continuation, this Mrs. Ruan was grateful for the kindness of Mrs. Zhong, so she kept the evidence that Mama Qin poisoned Zhong Qi decoction and kept it to this day. ”

"Some time ago, the eldest brother has been ordering Nan Chu to investigate the affairs of the Zhong family, and Nan Chu lived up to his expectations and found this Mrs. Ruan, so he has the current name of drumming."

Hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Since you know about this matter, why didn't you tell this palace until now?" It almost messed up Hongu! ”

Xu Qingxuan smiled and said: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, I also heard from a friend in the Criminal Department that Mrs. Ruan only learned about this after beating the name drum." ”

"Is there a way to save it now?" The eldest princess asked again impatiently, and at the same time rated Xu Qingxuan as a useless person in her heart, and her ability would never be as good as his eldest brother.

Xu Qingxuan naturally didn't know what the eldest princess was thinking, so he said one word categorically: "Yes!" ”

The expression on the eldest princess's face softened slightly, and she said hurriedly: "Say it quickly!" ”

"Fortunately, Mrs. Ruan only sued Mama Qin, as long as the eldest aunt is ruthless, first stabilize Mama Qin and don't let her confess to you, and then find someone to infiltrate the prison of the Criminal Department and kill her, this case can be closed here, in addition, the emperor definitely doesn't want the eldest princess to be involved in this case, the eldest princess just needs to pretend that she doesn't know anything and enter the palace to make amends to the emperor!"

Did you kill Mama Qin? The eldest princess felt that she couldn't react for a while, the people around her, except for Mama Qin, she really didn't dare to trust anyone, if she killed her, would she be even more isolated and helpless in the future?

Just when she was hesitating, Xu Qingxuan said again: "Auntie, my nephew thinks that the case of the Zhong family is not worth such a headache for aunt, and now you have more tricky things......

The eldest princess was stunned: "What else is going on?" That's it all at once! ”

Xu Qingxuan said with a straight face: "Mrs. Ruan only sued Mama Qin for poisoning the Zhong family, but there are still people who directly sued the eldest princess for poisoning the prince of Wei!" ”

"Nonsense!" The eldest princess's frightened eyes widened, and two words blurted out.

Xu Qingxuan smiled and said: "Auntie, this is not my nephew's nonsense, the report has been transmitted to the emperor, and the scholar of Yan only knew, and the nephew finally bought the news from the scholar of Yan." ”

The eldest princess couldn't help but panic again, and said in her heart: Xu Shuxuan, a rebel, really came to settle accounts with her, and even sued the emperor with the pleadings, what evidence can he have?

Her first reaction was to think that this thing must have been done by Xu Shuxuan again, and just as she was flustered and hesitant in her heart, Xu Qingxuan said again: "Auntie, since the eldest brother sues you, you can also return the way of others to yourself, empty mouth and white teeth, it is not certain who the emperor believes!" ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she was like an empowerment, and the corners of her mouth were raised, so she tightly grabbed a blood jade stone in her hand and stepped into the carriage and prepared to run to the palace, but when she was leaving, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and said to Xu Qingxuan: "That matter, you do it for the palace!" ”

Xu Qingxuan raised his lips and smiled and nodded meaningfully.

At the same time, a red shadow on the Lanxiang Pavilion also flew away silently, and quickly returned to the Listening Rain Building.

"Sister Yan Zi, did you overhear what Xu Qingxuan said to the eldest princess? That blood jade, did she give it to Xu Qingxuan? ”

When the news that the eldest princess and Xu Qingxuan had met reached Tingyulou, Han Ling and Xu Shuxuan felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent Yan Ziyi out to follow them.

Yan Ziyi shook her head and said, "The blood jade is still in the hands of the eldest princess, but Xu Qingxuan has temporarily prevented the eldest princess from going to see Prince Tarot, and suggested that she enter the palace to tell the prince in front of the emperor. ”

"Sue the world? Sue what? Han Ling couldn't help but be surprised.

Yan Ziyi shook her head and said: "Xu Qingxuan didn't say it explicitly, but listening to what he meant, it seems that someone sued the eldest princess in front of the emperor for poisoning the prince, so Xu Qingxuan suggested that the eldest princess should return her own body in the way of others." ”

Han Ling and Xu Shuxuan couldn't help but look at each other, although the eldest princess arranged for Xiaozuo to poison Tingyu Tower, they all knew it, but they didn't know who was going to sue them.

At this time, the emperor was also in the imperial garden of the West Garden, and chose a very quiet place to knock on the chime and meditate.

Since the last time Han Ling pricked the emperor a few times, the emperor's body is no longer as decadent and weak as before, and because of the matter of Concubine Xiang, he is no longer indulged in lust, but asking for immortals is like a tumor in the emperor's heart, no matter how he pulls it out, the court is still a dispensable thing for him, if the documents and reports from the provinces are not very important, they will basically not reach his hands, and they are all up to the cabinet, and the eunuchs around him can just tick it out.

Everything was handed over to the cabinet, and the emperor was happy to be idle, so "concentrating on the Tao and practicing the exercises" became all his ideals and pursuits, and at this moment, the Taoist priest who accompanied him was still Lan Daoxing, that is, Toyotomi Takiichi, recently Toyotomi Takiichi has developed a new method of nourishing his heart and holding his breath, that is, getting up early in the morning, facing the sunrise in the east, concentrating on meditation, and not moving at all.

For Toyotomi Takiichi, this emperor is really obedient, and even the posture is up to him.

The concubines of the harem fought back and forth, but none of them could compete with his status in the emperor's heart, especially when they saw his peach-like bewitching face, they couldn't help but feel weird jealousy and resentment in their hearts, not to mention those sour rumors in private.

Toyotomi Takiichi naturally doesn't care about those rumors, for him, the emperor's favor is nothing, what he seeks is the emperor's life and this big world, but it's a pity that some people don't believe in this evil, and always hit his knife!

No, a woman who is not afraid of death is coming this way!

"Brother Huang, you can't believe the words of those traitors and wronged the imperial sister!" As soon as the eldest princess ran over, she rushed to the emperor and shouted with an aggrieved face.

The emperor was outside the wanderery, and was suddenly pulled back, and frowned a little reluctantly, and saw the eldest princess with a brocade dress full of beads kneeling in front of him, and immediately understood why she came?

"What did the imperial brother do wronged you?" He said unhappily, and then raised his hand, "You get up and talk about it!" ”

"Yes, Brother Huang!"

The eldest princess stood up, and saw Toyotomi Takiichi standing aside, with a hint of defense in her eyes, she glanced at the emperor, hoping that he could break away this Taoist priest, but the emperor said: "Lan Aiqing is an extraordinary person in the world, naturally he will not pay attention to these mundane things, just say it, he will not pass on your words!" ”

The eldest princess was secretly frightened, not long after this national teacher came to the emperor's side, she was already so valued by the emperor, but although she didn't trust this person very much, she still had to say what she should say.

"Brother Huang, Sister Huang heard that someone accused me of murdering the prince of Wei from you, this is pure fiction, it is a false accusation, you must not be deceived by that treacherous boy, he is dividing the relationship between our brother and sister!"

The eldest princess said this sentence in one breath, but the emperor's face became very ugly, he thought that the eldest princess came because of Mama Qin's affairs, thinking that their master and servant would definitely intercede with him for the sake of that mother-in-law, but who knew that what she said was closely related to her own safety, does this mean that she is a thief and is anxious to clear up the relationship with Mama Qin?

The emperor's eyes were obscure, and he looked at the eldest princess and asked, "Who did you listen to, someone sued you here in me?" ”

The eldest princess choked suddenly, who did she listen to? Didn't the criminal department all submit the complaint to you?

The emperor said: "The complaint received by the Criminal Department is anonymous, but it is true that someone has sued you here, guess who this person is?" ”

"Isn't it Xu Shuxuan's unfilial son?" The eldest princess was afraid that the emperor would have any evidence in his hand, so she hurriedly accused Xu Shuxuan of all kinds of behaviors, "Brother Huang, don't you know how much the imperial sister has been wronged by marrying into the Duke of Wei, that unfilial son doesn't want to recognize me as a mother, so he goes against me everywhere, I gave him some maids and clothes, and that is also out of my concern, but he slandered me and said that I asked someone to put poison on his clothes, and always declared to those subordinates, I want to kill him, and I have no heirs, what benefit can I get from harming him?" ”

"And the daughter-in-law he married, Yang Ling, is also a sharp-toothed person, since she entered the door of the Duke of Wei, she has the same hatred as the unfilial son, regards me as a thorn in the eye, never asks me for peace, and ignores the things I arranged, if I say that she is not good, she will definitely ridicule her lips with ten times the words, and the imperial sister has been so angry with her several times that she almost vomited blood!"

"Brother Huang, this couple is deliberate, they just deliberately want to be angry with me, I read that girl is young and ignorant, and she didn't care about her in general, they are good, come and sue me first, Brother Huang, you must be the master of the royal sister, don't fall for them, if you want to smelt the crime, you should also smelt them for a crime of unfilial piety!"

The words were impassioned, painful to the heart and lungs, and he didn't know that there were many loopholes, which almost made Toyotomi laugh out loud.

Say you don't have any children? Isn't Xu Shuxuan her heir? Say that they are not filial, what about what you, the mother, do?

The emperor's face was even more ugly, first, the person who complained never said that the eldest princess poisoned the clothes of the prince, but poisoned the diet, and second, the person who complained was not Xu Shuxuan.

"Imperial sister, the prince of Wei has never sued you here, and the person who sued you for murdering the prince this time is Wei Guogong!"

The emperor's sudden words made the eldest princess feel like an electric shock?

Wei Guogong Xu Rui? He still has the courage to sue her in front of the imperial brother?

"Brother Huang, Wei Guogong is ...... This is also a false accusation, what evidence can he have? He was just for his precious son, and he never cared about the relationship between us......"

Before the eldest princess could finish her incoherent words, the emperor suddenly became angry: "You also said that he was for his precious son, so why did he falsely accuse you for his precious son?" If you hadn't done something, what would be the point of him suing me in front of me? ”

The emperor's anger made the eldest princess dumbfounded.

"Imperial Sister!" The emperor stood up suddenly, and said earnestly, "I decreed that you be married to the Duke of Wei as a continuation, so that you and the husband and wife can live together well, not to make you make a mess, the death of the three members of the Zhong family has already made you bear the reputation of Kefu, if you still want to attack the prince of Wei Guogong, even if others don't know that you did it, you will inevitably bear the notoriety of Kezi again!" ”

"Shu Xuan is not an ungrateful person, if you treat him well, he will not disrespect you!"

"You tell me the truth, did you poison the Zhong family to death?"

As soon as the emperor changed his words, the eldest princess raised her head suddenly, her face was pale, and her lips trembled and she was speechless. (To be continued.) )
