Chapter 60: Doubts
After the emperor left, the queen looked at the few people present and said, "Have you understood the emperor's will?" ”
Everyone was busy answering in unison.
The queen said: "In this case, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate." Don't go out of the house. Reflect on it in your own dormitory. ”
Everyone hurriedly retreated. Lang Xue also followed these people out of the queen's bedchamber. At the door, the princess was going to say a few words to Lang Xue, but the grandmother in the queen's palace had already reached out to ask the princess to return to the palace.
Didn't the emperor just announce that the princess was going to think about it behind closed doors and wait for the results of interrogating those maids? In other words, Wang Concubine is still a criminal suspect, and the suspicion has not been ruled out, so she can't be free yet, what do you want, what do you want. She is going to be under the hands of the queen's mother, and her life is being watched.
At this point, even if she is the daughter of a family, there is no way. Because this is the holy decree, this is the palace rule. In the palace, everyone has to live according to the rules of the palace.
The princess had no way, thinking in her heart, the county lord of Wen'an had helped her so much, it can be seen that this shield was well chosen at the beginning. She should be thanked a little more. Although I can't talk now, I will have a long time in the future, and when the interrogation is over, I should be free and fine. At that time, it's not too late to thank you for the snow. It just so happens that in the past few days, there is nothing to do in his bedroom, so you can think about how to thank the Lord of Wen'an.
The lord of Wen'an is different from ordinary people. The sister-in-law of the county lord of Wen'an is the richest person in Dachu, the county lord of Wenhui. The county lord of Wenhui and the Duke of Northwest love this sister very much. is also a younger sister, the Northwest Duke and his wife are against Zhao Yufei, a third girl who lives in the Mansion of Zhongyi. It's just the usual very. However, the county lord of Wen'an was taken by the couple to live in the county lord's mansion.
I heard that the residence is very luxurious, and all the living items are the best. I have never lived in the capital. However, in recent years, because he has been favored and has a high status in the palace, there are often some nobles in the capital who come to greet him. In the conversation with these noble ladies, the princess knew that the county lord of Wen'an was the first beauty in the capital. After seeing it myself, I have to admit that the county lord of Wen'an is indeed very beautiful.
Other than that. The lord of Wen'an, she is very rich. Wear it all the best. Although the Northwest Duke and the county lord of Wenhui were not in the capital, it is said that before the county lord of Wenhui went to the northwest, the entire county lord's mansion was handed over to the county lord of Wen'an. In addition to the beautiful mansions. There are also huge warehouses. Countless treasures inside. So. Wen'an County is the best for eating.
The lord of Wen'an also often invited the nobles to gather in his mansion, and every time such a meeting was held, these nobles would talk for a long time. The beautiful scenery of the mansion. The extravagant decoration, exquisite utensils, and the generosity of the lord of Wen'an, not only the appearance is beautiful, but also the poetry is one of the best in the circle of nobles in the capital.
In addition to these, I heard that the lord of Wen'an also ran an industry before, and he was very profitable. Several shops in the capital are all specialized in dealing in goods from southern Xinjiang, which are very famous.
Such a person, powerful and rich, what else can he give her? The princess was a little worried. However, there are still a few days to think about it. Therefore, at this time, the princess was not in a hurry, so she could only glance at Langxue, nodded, and went back. Rang Xue also nodded. She knew that the princess wanted to be grateful to her. However, she did not need the gratitude of the princess. As the princess thought, she has everything now, and she is ready to marry in southern Xinjiang, and she really doesn't have to care about the gratitude of a concubine in the Great Chu Palace, so she also followed the palace maids back.
When I went back, I found that my underwear was wet with sweat. No wonder before, Old Madam Chen and Madame Mingzhu repeatedly told themselves to be careful after entering the palace. The palace is indeed a land of tigers and wolves. He was already very cautious and cautious, living in a simple house, and since entering the palace, he just asked the maids to send some gifts to the palace concubines in each palace, and he has not gone out.
The place where I live is in a remote corner of the palace, it is very clean, and if you don't come to the door on purpose, no one will come over at all. Such a situation actually involved her in this right and wrong.
However, come to think of it, this is not a trivial matter, this is a major event. In this matter, the emperor is equivalent to losing two children. One is the unformed fetus in Fan Guiren's womb, and the other is the second prince who is almost seven years old. Isn't that a big deal?
The fetus in Fan Guiren's womb has not been formed, and he doesn't know men and women, so it's just that. But what about the second prince? He was born when the emperor was still a prince. is the emperor's second child. The emperor also values it.
is such a prince, and his biological mother's status is not low. His mother is one of the four concubines, Concubine Wang Xian.
Compared with the other princes of the emperor, he is not much worse. Although his mother, Concubine Wang Xian, is not from a family, she is just a small businessman. However, this businessman is the king of the bank, and it is said that he was the richest family in the world in the past. Before the emperor did not make a move against the Wang family, the bank Wang family, because of its wealth and power, had great influence in the government and the opposition.
Therefore, there are many ministers who support the second prince, and there are many families.
Even later, after the collapse of the bank royal family, those ministers and families saw that Concubine Wang Xian in the palace was not affected, and they continued to support the second prince.
Such an heir to the throne died like this, which was a shocking thing for the government and the opposition. Lang Xue is not a deep lady, she was born at the bottom of the society, and she is used to seeing all kinds of insidious and evil things, and later after coming to the county lord's mansion, because of her noble status, she comes into contact with the noblewomen and nobles of the capital, and she is naturally no stranger to politics.
Getting Xue felt that this was an important thing. It will definitely affect many people.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of her brother and sister-in-law. This is the only Qin person she has in the world. This Concubine Wang Xian is not an ordinary concubine. She was a former friend of my sister-in-law's. I heard that when Concubine Wang Xian gave birth to this prince, she was jealous of the queen, who was still a princess at the time, and it was her sister-in-law Wen Hui who sent her eldest maid to live in the palace and take care of Concubine Wang Xian until Concubine Wang Xian gave birth smoothly.
Will this second prince also be very important to his sister-in-law?
After thinking for a while, Lang Xue suddenly remembered another thing. Two days ago, because the princess had been here for so long, she was a little puzzled, and asked the jade bottle to contact the grandmother in the palace that Mingzhu had pointed out to her before. What did that grandma say at the time?
This is just the beginning, Fan Guiren's miscarriage is just the beginning, and there are more important things to come. Now it seems that everything is understood. Fan Guiren's low-status concubine is pregnant, this is not a big deal, why are these people trying to get this fetus lost?
It turned out that their intention was not on Fan Guiren's fetus. It doesn't matter whether Fan Guiren's fetus is male or female, there are now four princes in the palace. One more is not more, and one less is not less. Besides, Fan Guiren may also have a princess in her belly, so it has no effect. There are already three princesses in the palace.
Then there is only one use for this fetus, that is, to use this to drive Fan Guiren crazy, and make Fan Guiren believe that it was Concubine Wang Xian who killed the child in her womb and made her unable to give birth again.
In this way, Fan Guicai took a risk, and in order to take revenge, he chose to kill the son of Concubine Wang Xian, the second prince.
Rong Xue only felt a fluster.
These people are so powerful, the conspiracies are not one, they are all interlocking. Treat other people's lives and deaths as trivial matters, and use others as chess pieces to achieve their own goals.
The palace is indeed the dirtiest and most intriguing place in the world.
After thinking about it so much, she didn't feel a little dizzy, and at this time, she remembered another question. At that time, what did the emperor mean by nodding to her? She wouldn't be stupid enough to think that the emperor had any idea about her beauty. Although she is indeed very beautiful. Originally, she was good-looking.
However, because of his background, he lost maintenance, was a little rough, and his temperament was poor. However, later, she went to the county lord's mansion and raised it for so many years, and the food was the best. It is also maintained with the best things, medicated baths, and worn by the best.
He also often gathers with the nobles of the capital. Naturally, this temperament has also been cultivated. My current self is much more beautiful than my previous self. In the capital, everyone says that she is the first beauty in the capital. There are more people pursuing it.
However, Langxue really has no confidence in the emperor's peerless appearance. Such an emperor with a peerless appearance will be a pervert, and he will not let go when he sees a beautiful woman, whether it is a girl who has a family or a noble daughter who has been named the county lord?
The answer, of course, is no. The emperor definitely didn't take a fancy to her. The emperor has a deep meaning. At that time, she thought of a little, so she had the courage to explain it clearly for the princess. Sure enough, the emperor showed an appreciative look. It can be seen that the emperor's original intention was to ask her to say so.
The emperor has just experienced the pain of losing his son, and the princess knows even if she knows it, she is definitely suspicious, how can the emperor not know it? Didn't my brother say that the emperor was very shrewd?
Then why does the emperor still favor the princess?
These questions swirled in the back of her mind.
I just feel very tired from making snow. She changed into her homely clothes, just sat down and was about to drink tea, and thought about it again, when suddenly a eunuch came, saying, The emperor Xuanwen'an went to the emperor's imperial study.
Langxue was stunned.
After being stunned for a moment, Ling Xue reacted, this is not the time to be stunned, the eunuchs are still waiting there. The emperor called to go, and he could only go as fast as possible, where could he still make a flute?
Lang Xue hurriedly changed her clothes and followed the eunuch out. (To be continued......)
