Chapter 101: Reckoning
Zhou Xiwan didn't know that everything she had arranged for her mother had been known to the Zhou family, and she was still waiting for the good news from the kidnappers.
"Master, you have made some of the news you check eyebrows." Mama Cui walked quickly to Zhou Xiwan, who was choosing clothes materials.
"What did you find?" Zhou Xiwan picked out a piece of material and put it aside, waiting for the tailor in the house to make clothes, these fabrics are all rewarded by the prince, touching this exquisite fabric, Zhou Xiwan is complacent, her choice is not wrong, how can she enjoy the honor of the palace outside, if you enter the palace later, you can enjoy the best things in the world.
"Before the young lady asked to check the princess, the slave maid has been doing her best to verify, the young lady gave a lot of money, and some people who bought it out, but they knew some secrets of the palace, the princess married into the palace for ten years, but the palace only saw a daughter, not a son, not that the prince's concubine was pregnant with a son, but I don't know what happened, either miscarriage on the way, or died after childbirth, after all, there is no boy in this house, the slave and maid checked this matter, but found some clues, these things pointed directly to the princess." Mama Cui stood respectfully on a plate.
"Except for the princess in this mansion, no one dares to do this, it's just that no one has the ability to check before, or if they find any clues, they will be cut off by the princess, and the princess has been in charge of this princess for ten years, and this palace is an iron wall, and it is not so easy to break." Zhou Xiwan will never underestimate her opponent again, last time because she underestimated Zhou Xiya, she let her poison herself, making it difficult for her to ride a tiger like this now.
"That young lady hasn't broken it yet. But this time, the slave felt that things were a little too easy, and always felt that someone was helping us behind the scenes, leading us to track down the clues, and then we learned some secrets. Cui Mama said how she felt.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiwan looked back at Mama Cui.
"Miss, for example, the breakthrough this time is Dr. Li in the palace, the people in the palace are looking for him, only the prince and the princess will find the imperial doctor when they are sick, and it is usually Dr. Li who knits, so the concubine in the palace is pregnant. Be the first to know. It's this Dr. Li, but someone revealed the news to me, before this Dr. Li entered the palace, what he was best at outside was gynecology. In particular, men and women who can distinguish 100% of the fetus from the womb. That's why he was recruited into the palace by the princess. And Dr. Li's younger brother committed an accident outside, and the news was also told to the slave maid by someone else, and the slave maid had the opportunity to help solve this matter and know something from Dr. Li's mouth. However, Dr. Li's mouth is very firm, he doesn't say much, and the little news revealed will not hurt the princess much, and Kenben will not hurt his muscles and bones. Cui Mama hesitated a little and said.
"You say someone is leading us by the nose?" Zhou Xiwan frowned.
Mama Cui nodded.
"Could it be the princess's person, the princess deliberately dug a pit for me to jump, during this time, the prince doted on me, plus the baby in my belly, the princess couldn't sit idly by, I'm afraid that I, the outside of Piaolan Courtyard, are all watching, maybe the princess knows our actions, and deliberately so." Zhou Xiwan's personality is a little suspicious, and the first thing is to think that it was the princess's hands and feet.
"The slave doesn't feel like it, the slave thinks she is doing it very carefully, and the little princess is sick during this time, and the princess is busy taking care of the little princess, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to put it on you, master." Mama Cui shook her head.
"Won't it be the princess? Who's that? Zhou Xiwan walked back and forth in the house, it felt very bad to be led by the nose, she didn't want to have any snobbery that she couldn't control anymore and hide in the dark, who knows when those people will bite her.
"By the way, Zhou Xiya, it must be Zhou Xiya's person," Zhou Xi thought violently.
"Miss?" Mama Cui was puzzled.
"Except for the princess, it is Zhou Xiya, only she will be willing to watch me have a bad time, if I fight with the princess, she can watch the excitement on the side, there were people in the palace who she arranged to come in before, I really underestimated her, she has left the capital, and she can still meddle in the affairs of the palace, it is really too deceitful." Zhou Xiwan clenched her fists, and she lost another step to Zhou Xiya.
"So how do you do this? Is it through the hands of the princess that the eldest lady's people are cleared out? Cui Mama asked.
"Don't use it first, there are too few people we can use now, since they are willing to contribute, then I will use my strength to fight, I don't want me Zhou Xiwan to lose to her forever, the most important thing now is to catch the handle of the princess, otherwise my life in the palace will be difficult, this matter is important, you deal with it as soon as possible, my belly is about to get bigger, solve the princess, I can be more stable in my heart, I can't let my child have a little thing." Zhou Xiwan touched her belly, which was not bulging, and her face was fierce.
"Yes, the slave understands" Mama Cui nodded and continued to investigate.
A few days later, Zhou Xiwan came to one of the concubines of the third prince with the clothes that had been made.
"Sister Wang, my sister is here to disturb." Zhou Xiwan smiled before she spoke, and put the shelf very low, if she didn't have these concubines in her eyes in normal times, but now she can only use them.
"My sister is a rare guest, I can't ask for it, come in and sit." Aunt Wang welcomed Zhou Xiwan into the house.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Zhou Xiwan asked with a smile.
"Isn't this spring, the flowers that moved out of the flower room should be pruned and repaired, so that they can grow better, I'm an idler, every day in addition to fiddling with these flowers and plants, there is no individual hobby." Aunt Wang sat aside and let the maid serve tea.
"Sister Wang is an elegant person, the flowers in your house are much better than mine, and my sister is very stupid. I don't understand this aspect.,Go back and ask my sister to give me advice.。 Zhou Xi was polite.
"Sister, what are you talking about, if you are stupid, how can there be any smart people in this world." Aunt Wang was thinking about what Zhou Xiwan was doing here, she was from the princess's side, and Zhou Xiwan shouldn't have anything to do with her.
"By the way, Sister Wang, a few days ago, the prince rewarded me with a few fine fabrics, no. I picked the best clothes and sent them to my sister, presumably my sister must be very beautiful in it, Mama Cui, open it for my sister to see. Zhou Xiwan motioned to Mama Cui to open the box.
"How good is this, how can I ask for my sister's things, this is what the prince gave to my sister." Aunt Wang hurriedly stopped, and she was even more suspicious of Zhou Xiwan in her heart, what kind of calculation was this, she actually sent clothes to please her, could it be that she wanted her to say good things to Zhou Xiwan in front of the princess?
"They're all sisters. What's yours and mine. We are all serving the prince, as long as my sister is dressed beautifully, the prince is happy to look at it. Zhou Xiwan got up and handed the clothes to Aunt Wang.
"It's beautiful, it's the latest material. The princess got a few horses. I didn't expect the prince to give it to his sister too. My sister is really the person on the tip of the prince's heart. Aunt Wang's tone was a little sour.
"I, it's just because of this in my stomach that the prince will hurt me so much. Unlike my sister, I have been in the palace for so many years, and I gave birth to a daughter to the prince, the prince is thinking of your goodness, and the prince went to me yesterday and mentioned your sister, saying that I should learn from my sister, saying that my sister keeps her duty, and is the most good-tempered in this palace. Zhou Xiwan didn't blink her eyes when she said nonsense, how could she let the third prince say that other women were good on her own territory.
"Your mouth, it's so sweet, so my sister accepted this dress, thank you so much." Aunt Wang smiled happily.
"Sister, sister still wants to learn from you, you see, you take care of the child so well, sister, I am pregnant with my first child, I don't understand anything, my mother's mother is not good to come to the palace, and this belly is getting bigger and bigger in the future, I really have no bottom in my heart. I don't know if this child is a daughter or a boy, or a girl, a girl is the intimate little padded jacket of the mother, just look at the third lady, follow your sister more, so sensible" Zhou Xiwan sat down with Aunt Wang and changed the topic.
"Everyone is like this, what do we women do, we are born to give birth to children, in the month, the melons are ripe, my sister is waiting to enjoy the blessings, when I gave birth to the third miss, I encountered dystocia, and it took a lot of effort to give birth to the child, and it was much easier to get to the second one, but unfortunately, the child was unblessed, and he left just one day after birth." Aunt Wang mentioned the child, I don't know why, so she said that her child, the princess's two daughters were side-sewn as the county lord, and her daughter had no identity.
"Sister, it is said that you are in good health, why did the child die?" Zhou Xiwan pretended to be very sorry.
"Who knows, it's all fate, I was very careful to protect him to term, but unfortunately, after he was born, I still didn't keep him." Aunt Wang thought of that son, and her heart hurt very much, if her son was raised safely, then she would not be a small concubine in the palace now, and she would probably be able to become a side concubine.
"This palace is also strange, the prince's health is very good, the sisters are not infertile, why is there not a boy in the palace, I have been here for some days, to hear some words, the sisters in the palace seem to be pregnant with a boy, either miscarriage halfway, or died after the voice, what is going on? Hey, sister, look at me, blame me for being ignorant, my sister lost that little boy, and I was already very uncomfortable, and my sister kept mentioning this in front of you, it's really damned. Zhou Xiwan patted her mouth.
"It's okay, even if everyone doesn't say some things, they still exist, but everyone doesn't have the courage to break through that layer of window paper, even if we know the truth, what is our identity, what is the benefit of making things bigger, what's the benefit to us, just swallowing our anger, I just hope that I can be careful when I conceive a child in the future, and I can't say that I am just careless." Aunt Wang shook her head, how could she not have doubted it, but what if she said it, she had no evidence, how could she deal with the princess, it was just to let herself die faster, where was the snobbery of the princess in the palace that these little concubines could contend with.
"I understand my sister, and it's not easy for my sister. Mother is more expensive than her son, if your son is still there, my sister will not look at people everywhere like now, and live a cautious life" Zhou Xiwan nodded.
The purpose of her coming here is just to remind these women of their dead son, and when she breaks the news, these women don't follow and cause trouble, there are many women in the palace who have lost their sons, this is a force, and some people are still the princess's eagle dogs, as long as these people know what the princess has done, they will also break the princess's arm.
In the next two days, Zhou Xiwan took her things to visit several other women............
The princess coaxed her daughter to fall asleep, rubbing her neck tiredly, her daughter was sick, she took care of her for several days, and her daughter was much better.
"The princess is tired, the county lord has been sick for the past two days, and you have not rested well, the slave has boiled chicken soup to replenish your body, you can also drink some to replenish your body, don't be the county lord, you are tired and sick again." Mama helped the princess sit down and pinched the princess's shoulder.
"I'm fine, as long as the child is safe, now that the child is fine, I am relieved, alas, I am really old, taking care of the child for two days, my body can't bear it." The princess shook her head helplessly.
"Where is the master talking about this, where are you old, you are just the right age, the ladies of the same age as you, which one is comparable to your grace and luxury, you are just too worried about the child." Mama brought a bowl to the princess and handed it to the princess.
"My own child, of course I care, this is my pregnancy in October, and this child is also deeply loved by the queen mother, if it weren't for the fact that he was too wild to play with his mother in the palace, he wouldn't be sick." The princess smiled, the child is loved by the queen, and it is also good for her, but her daughter was made the county lord earlier than the prince's daughter.
"Children, it's inevitable that they will be a little better, this is not the little county lord is sick, the queen mother hurriedly sent someone to ask, it can be seen that she loves the little county lord." Mama complimented.
The princess just smiled, as if she remembered something, and asked, "What is Zhou Xiwan doing these days?" ”
"She is quite stable these days, but she is taking something to visit a few concubines of the prince, I think it is because the master has suppressed her too much during this time, so she will go to win over those concubines, thinking of forming a front with them, she is all delusional, these women are firmly grasped by the master, even if they give them ten guts, they dare not betray the master, it is not that no concubine has done this before, what is the final result, it is not the earliest death, Now it is estimated that there are white bones in the desolate pit outside the city. Mama smiled gloomily, smiling like a little ghost beside Hades.
"Yes, let her go, I want to see what she can do, but because I helped the prince do something, I think I can stand in this palace?" The princess sneered. (To be continued......)
