Chapter 480: Suspicion
Xie Drizzle has always had a good image in the minds of Yun Fenghuang and the Cui family.
Even if Cui Wan, although he recruited him as a son-in-law because of Yun Fenghuang, frankly speaking, before Xie Driyu's true face was exposed, he and his wife also thought that the concubine was a good family affair.
Although he was married, the wife in front of him was not blessed, and he and the eldest son of Yuan were not able to stay.
Except for letting her daughter give a tablet to salute during the New Year's holidays, there is no difference from a wife.
Besides, Xie Xiaoyu is young, has outstanding appearance, and is also gentle and considerate to Xiao Cui...... Not to mention Cui Wan and his wife, even Xiao Cui's own family is also deeply happy and feels that they have to meet a lover.
The result is a lot of change!
Xie Drizzle is ruined, not to mention, now it's gone!
You must know that although Xiao Cui's has given birth to a child, she is a girl.
With Cui's family and the powerful position of the concubine, it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Cui's to remarry.
If in the past, when the Xie family's heirs were prosperous, they could still pass on the incense to their step-nephews.
But now, the children of the main branch of the Xie family are withering, where can they take care of it?
Especially if Xie Driyu dies in Wei Su and sacrifices his life to die a glorious death for the country, he can also enjoy some preferential treatment.
But now that he is ruined, and even the concubine and the concubine have been implicated, and there are many discussions and troubles, how can he solve the problem of the heir specifically for him?
To be honest, Cui Wan is also impatient to care about the aftermath of this cool son-in-law, but he is a mature courtier, of course he understands that whether Xie Driyu is good or bad has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the most important thing is the concubine.
As long as the concubine does not fall, then it will be beneficial for him to marry a concubine into the Xie family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken to Xie Drizzle with all his strength before.
For this reason, the concubine's attitude towards Cui's father and daughter has eased a lot at this time, and she specially said a word of gratitude to Cui Lianye, who came to visit the patient, and sighed: "It's always my Xie family's godson who has no way, and if I don't say anything about my cousin, it will also affect the current eighteen sisters-in-law." ”
Cui Lianye, because her relationship with Xiao Cui's is not very deep, was surprised by the exposure of Xie Xiaoyu's true face, and there was really not much anger to say.
After all, when she entered the palace, her sister was only a little older, and she was not the same as her mother, how close could she be? That is, there are no grudges.
At this moment, he hurriedly comforted the concubine with a few words, expressing that he didn't mind: "Niangniang doesn't know either." This is all the life of the little sister. Besides, after the little sister came out of the cabinet, she always said that the eighteenth prince treated her very well. ”
"After all, this palace and the Xie family can't stand up to the Cui family." Yun Fenghuang's face is not very good-looking, she is now sick, half of it is pretending, and half of it is really a big blow.
The sibling brother who has had the best relationship since childhood, and the closest blood relative surviving after Xie's death...... She was a little wary of Xie Wuzheng, but for Xie Drizzle, she really didn't expect him to cheat herself like this.
Although Yun Fenghuan knew in his heart that Xie Drizzle's original intention was not to cause trouble to his sister, he might think that he could hide it?
After all, even her sister Min Guifei has never been suspicious of the death of Xie Jiang's mother and son, has she?
In other words, Yun Fenghuan was suspicious, but the suspects were all outsiders, and he never thought that Xie Xiaoyu could do such a thing!
…… This made the concubine even feel a little trance.
She originally felt that she had grown up with Xie Drizzle's mother, and she knew this brother no matter how clear she was.
But now she found out that she didn't know Xie Drizzle that well.
At the beginning, when the emperor chose a son-in-law for Xiaozong's three biological daughters, whether it was Yun Fenghuang or his close attendants, including the Jiang family, they all privately regretted that Xie Driyu had just married.
Because if Xie Driyu hadn't married Xie Jiang, even if they had been married for many years, the mother and daughter would have a way to persuade the Jiang family to quit and let Xie Driyu seize this opportunity to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix......
But it's just a pity.
The mother and daughter never thought about what they would do to Xie Jiang's family, let alone anger her.
In Yun Fenghuang's heart, he felt that his youngest brother might also have a little regret, but the opportunity had been missed, Xie Jiang's family was also the wife of his childhood sweetheart, and he was secretly depressed, that is.
Is there a way to make up for it?
As a result, Xie Driyu failed to become the master, but he still wanted to marry a noble girl......
Yun Fenghuang is not unaware that these brothers basically have ambitions.
In terms of ability, in addition to Xie Wuzheng, Xie Fu also has a little ability...... But it's still far from the temple plan.
But even so, who would have thought that after some people killed their own wives and cousins, they wouldn't even let go of their own eldest son?
"This palace is short of spirit now, so I won't talk to you anymore." Yun Fenghuan still feels indescribably sad when he thinks about it.
After settling down, she whispered to Cui Lianye, "Please discuss with Ling Zun and see what the eighteenth sister-in-law and daughter are?" If this palace can do it, it will not shirk. ”
After a pause, "If the eighteenth sister-in-law wants to remarry, it's okay." It's just that the girl is the only blood and blood of the eighteenth brother after all, so please stay in the Xie family. If the eighteenth sister-in-law is not at ease, the palace will tell His Majesty and take her to her knees to be raised, just like a few fierce children, and she will never be treated badly! ”
Cui Lianye said that she didn't dare, and seeing her resolute attitude, she agreed to come down and retreated.
She returned to Chengyue Palace and immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Cui Wan.
Cui Wan had expected this a long time ago, but he prepared a rhetoric early in the morning to convey it: "The master of the family said that the woman who marries outside the door splashes water outside the door, since she is a woman of the Xie family, then no matter how the eighteen sons of the Xie family are, they must observe the festival for them after all." My Cui family has been in the family for five generations, and I have never remarried. Please also ask the concubine Niangniang, don't mention the words of remarriage in the future. ”
"As for the mother and daughter, ...... later"
"The concubine has always been kind to blood relatives, and she must not have wronged them."
"All in all, please don't worry about it, focus on the jade body."
Cui Lianye listened to these words, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "At the beginning, my father said a lot of things to Xie Drizzle in the court, and the concubine was also a rare relief, if my father didn't say anything, the concubine is indeed a little tired now, what if I take it seriously and don't give anything?" ”
"Niangniang, the master said, no matter what, the eighteen sons of the Xie family are gone, and the only biological bloodline is born to our young lady. With this in mind, how could the concubine Niangniang ignore the young lady's mother and daughter? The messenger whispered, "In that case, why hurry? It's better to send charcoal in the snow, sympathize with the concubine's current exhaustion, and feel uncomfortable. After the concubine recovers, can she still take the initiative to repay? Although the concubine Niangniang is ruthless, she has never been the master who only enters and does not leave. ”
That's just as well.
Cui Lianye sighed: "The little sister is also wronged. ”
It's just that I also think that Xiao Cui's, "Fortunately, she has a biological daughter, otherwise, her life will be sad." ”
has been in the deep palace for many years, although Cui Lianye is not a widow, she is not a widow, and she knows too well the importance of a child, especially her own flesh and blood, in this situation. Listen to the school bag
Like she used to feel bored, since she adopted the second prince, she feels much calmer.
Although the second prince behaved very mediocre, Cui Lianye didn't care.
Anyway, it's impossible to fight for that position, and it's a good thing to be mediocre.
She went to Xuanqing Palace in person and told Cui Wan's attitude in person, which also represented the attitude of the Cui family.
Yun Fenghuang knew very well in his heart that an old fox like Cui Wan was the best at judging the situation.
But in the end, he had some good feelings, and sighed: "The palace is lacking now, and I won't say anything superfluous." Only one thing: the palace is in one day, the eighteen sisters-in-law and daughter, the palace is protected! ”
Her brother is not angry, but after Xiao Cui's entered the door, she was still more satisfied.
Now that the mother's family is so good at behaving, Yun Fenglian can only pay his debts to his brother and sister.
After Cui Lianye left, the Qing people came in to serve, and the master and servant were gloomy and sad.
The evil deed that Xie Driyu concealed was not only a huge blow to Yun Fenghuan, but also a great malice to all the attendants of the Huanhua Palace.
Qingren was especially sad, she had the impression that Xie Driyu was really not such a vicious person.
Even because Yun Fenghuang was more domineering and had a city government when he was a child, in comparison, Xie Driyu was a little kind and benevolent.
She still remembered that when Yun Fenghuan was mean to Xie Fenghuan, although Xie Driyu helped her sister pull the bias, occasionally saw that Yun Fenghuan was too much, and would gently persuade one or two.
In her opinion, even if Xie Driyu has some thoughts, on the whole, her heart can be called good.
How is this all there?
The Qing people still can't believe it, so much so that at this moment, looking at Yun Fenghuang's wooden face, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, just now Chen Jing said that he went to check the situation of the eighteenth prince after he came to the imperial capital, and the situation with outsiders is that there are not a few people who pry the eighteenth son!" The Eighteenth Prince must have been deceived by them! ”
Therefore, it is not that she looks at the eighteen sons who have grown up, but outsiders!
But Yun Fenghuan, who has always been partial to blood relatives, did not agree, and only said lightly: "No matter how clever outsiders are, it is impossible to grab his hand to harm his cousin's mother and son, and he didn't say that he would take a knife to his neck and let him kill his wife and son...... It's true that an outsider is not a good thing, but Brother Eighteen, he is not a thing! ”
Seeing this, Qingren suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Yun Fenghuan was silent alone for a moment, and suddenly said, "You say, is it really an outsider?" ”
Seeing that the Qing people were stunned, she sighed lightly, and said with a complicated expression, "Eighteen brothers...... Bengu doesn't dare to say it now, Bengu understands him. However, although he is not shrewd, he is not a three-year-old. When he came, both the palace and his mother had privately warned him that many people wanted to grab the handle of the palace from him. You say, we all told him like that, and he didn't hesitate at all when those people provoked him to do such evil things? I didn't think about it, will this fall into someone else's trap and bring trouble to this palace? ”
"You said if it wasn't for outsiders who persuaded him, then ......"
"Is it possible that it's your own people?"
“…… Empress? Qing was stunned, and for a while, her whole body trembled a little, and she subconsciously said, "If that's the case, then ...... But...... But...... But he's already a colt! But do you still want to be jealous of the eighteenth son? ”
She heard it, Yun Fenghuan was actually suspicious of Xie Wuzheng!
However, although Xie Wuzheng was separated from Yun Fenghuang by one layer and was not as close as Xie Drizzle, he was lucky enough to return to Princess Sui'an.
As a colt, his identity is fundamentally different from Xie Drizzle.
In addition, Xie Wuzheng is still from the Eight Classics of the Imperial Examination, and his foundation is much stronger than Xie Drizzle.
Qingren thought about it quickly, and said slowly: "Isn't Niangniang thinking too much? Eighteen Sons...... At least in the last few years, there is no way to threaten the horses. Even if the future is unpredictable, no matter how powerful the horse is, can it still fight alone? Without the wings of the brothers and sisters of the Eighteen Princes, even if they are in a high position, it is difficult not to be involved. ”
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment and said, "If it's just for power and the support of the palace, there is really no reason for the horse to move the eighteenth brother." ”
"But don't forget ......"
"Although the eighteenth brother is now proud of the spring breeze in his career, he has never had children under his knees."
The concubine said slowly, "The Xie family was killed before, and the people were thinned all of a sudden. Even though the tenth brother was lucky enough to find Fu Forget, the other brothers could hardly have children to inherit. Now the eighteenth brother has no male heir to inherit the bloodline...... You say, even if this palace can't think of it now, in the future, can you not think about letting him accept concubines and spread out? ”
After all, the only male heirs who are alive in the fourth room today are Xie Fu and Xie Li.
But Yun Fenghuang has four brothers.
With the importance she attaches to bloodline, unless she has to, she will definitely not consider inheriting from afar.
That, on blood, on feelings, on status, on qualifications...... Is there a brother more suitable than Xie Wuzheng?
Qingren didn't know what to say for a while, she was actually not very close to Xie Wuzheng, after all, as the Jiang family's arm, Qingren had helped the Jiang family pick up Xie Wuzheng's mother in the past.
Of course, the relationship with each other is not good.
Now the reason why Yun Fenghuan's speculation has been repeatedly rejected is mainly because he feels sorry for the concubine.
In the past, although the concubine was a little wary of her cousins, she was still generally trusting.
After all, the blood is related, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and this kind of binding of interests is enough to win the foundation of many feelings.
Besides, their relationship is not bad, so it can be said that it is double insurance.
But now, the concubine's illness has not recovered, so Xie Wuzheng is suspicious...... This......
"Mother, don't mess with yourself." The Qing people settled down and reminded the concubine, "Maybe the Gu family's exposure of the eighteen princes is just to provoke trust between the mother and the concubine?" After all, after the Xie family's death, how many talents are there in the world today? Among them, the one who is most closely related to Niangniang and is most trusted and relied on by Niangniang and has high hopes is none other than the eighteen sons and the concubines. ”
"Now the eighteenth prince is dying tragically in prison."
"The mother is suspicious of the colt again...... So, what should I do? ”
"......" Yun Fenghuang didn't say anything for a long time, slowly exhaled, and said in a low voice, "It's the same." Don't do anything yet. The eighteenth brother only went, and at this time, the matter was not settled, and it was not suitable to think about the heir for him. Let's wait! ”
She said in her heart, if Xie Wuzheng is serious and upright, trying to frame Xie Driyu to obtain an upright heir, and let herself go all out to support him in the future......
That......
Yun Feng Huang will make this cousin understand that the Xie family has withered so far, and he simply doesn't want any of them, and it's nothing.
"But I hope I'm thinking too much about it." The concubine thought with a heavy heart, "In the past, this palace was too confident, and the complexity of people's hearts, how can you see through it at a glance?" ”
In her life, she will never forget this profound lesson.
