The news reached the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's eyes were slightly stagnant when she stood in the courtyard and looked at the flowers and plants in the garden, but she quickly turned her eyes away.

"The prince will seize the opportunity."

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if the colt knows about this matter......"

"Then don't let him know." The eldest princess raised her hand to touch a delicate hibiscus flower in front of her, but as soon as her fingers touched it, all the petals withered in an instant.

The eldest princess took her ten fingers slightly, and the maid was still sensible, and immediately ordered: "Don't move all these hibiscus flowers out yet!" ”

The eldest princess didn't speak, thinking about Wei Qingqing, she just asked someone to keep an eye on it, and then went back to the house.

At this time, when Wei Qingqing came out, he saw the person sent by the prince, a steward with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and two fierce women with sticks.

When the steward saw Wei Qingqing coming, a moment of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Young lady, I'm sorry, this is all the will of the prince, and the little one just does what he is told." ”

"Nature."

Wei Qingqing smiled lightly.

The steward saw that she didn't beg for mercy or cry, and paused, could it be that she didn't know what it meant for these twenty sticks to go down?

The steward hesitated for a moment, and saw that Wei Qingqing had no intention of continuing to speak, so he beckoned to the mother-in-law behind him, and the mother-in-law immediately came up with sticks.

"Young Lady ......"

The steward saw this, and Wei Qingqing didn't squeak. Hesitantly said: "Actually, this matter, according to the small point of view, it is not so difficult to do, the prince just thinks that you have been bewitched and instigated, so you will be disrespectful to the eldest princess and the royal family, if you are willing to say who instigated you behind your back, the prince will definitely reward and punish clearly." ”

After speaking, the steward also looked at Wei Qingqing, wearing a long dress of fine gauze and snow blue. Wearing a crescent white cloak, the whole person is delicate like an orchid standing proudly in the snow, elegant but with unconscious charm, this kind of stunner, he really can't bear it.

Moreover, killing Wei Qingqing was not the purpose of the prince.

But he didn't expect that after the steward finished speaking, Wei Qingqing was still very calm: "The courtiers were not instigated by anyone, the prince is the person left by the emperor to act as an agent for the government, the emperor trusts the prince so much, why should the courtiers doubt the judgment of the prince?" Today's courtiers are dying under these twenty sticks, and the prince is right. ”

The steward's throat choked.

If Wei Qingqing is really killed, it will be difficult for Rong Che to pass the test, and there are still the four princes and the six princes who are eyeing each other, maybe they will take the opportunity to win over the Guogong Mansion and deal with the prince.

No matter how you think about it, it's not worth it.

The steward looked at the mother-in-law with the stick, but did not speak. Someone came from outside the house, whispering a few words in the steward's ear.

The steward frowned: "Is the Third Highness really so ordered?" ”

"Yes, the Third Highness is outside the mansion at the moment." The little guy who talked back and forth.

The one in charge knows the relationship between the three princes and the crown prince, and now that the three princes have spoken, they must not have to worry about it themselves.

After thinking about it, the person in charge no longer looked at Wei Qingqing, and directly ordered: "In this case, it will be as the young lady wishes." Come on, let's be executed! ”

"Young lady!"

Lan Zhi nervously pulled Wei Qingqing's sleeve.

Wei Qingqing looked at her comfortingly, Lan Zhi saw her like this, so she had to grit her teeth and let go of her hand.

Someone immediately moved the torture bench, Wei Qingqing walked to the torture bench, looked at the steward again, and said, "By the way, the prince gave an order this time, can there be an edict?" I am the young lady of the first-class state mansion, I can't say a few words by you as a steward, and I will be punished, right? ”

"I have a hand."

The steward looked at Wei Qingqing, who was gentle and soft-eyed but dark and shiny, and always had a feeling of being surrounded by danger, but when he thought about it, isn't it just a little girl, what's the danger?

As he spoke, he took out a small roll of bright yellow silk cloth from his sleeve.

Wei Qingqing motioned for Lan Zhi to come forward to get it, but the steward hesitated, but still handed the silk cloth to Lan Zhi.

After Lan Zhi saw it, she nodded at Wei Qingqing, and Wei Qingqing obediently lay on the torture bench.

The two mothers-in-law who came to execute were not ambiguous, took a few steps forward, and directly raised the stick with the baby's arm thick and hit Wei Qingqing's back fiercely.

Lan Zhi stared secretly, and when the first stick was about to fall on Wei Qingqing's back, a stone popped out of her hand, and the stick was directly missed.

The mother-in-law was stunned, but before she had time to think about it, Wei Qingqing spit out a mouthful of blood, and then Lan Zhi pounced and squeezed the mother-in-law away.

"Young lady, young lady!"

Lan Zhi cried and shouted, and everyone in the Guogong Mansion instantly followed suit, shouting that there was a dead man.

The steward frowned, and immediately motioned for the two mothers-in-law to come forward to probe Wei Qingqing's breathing, but before the two of them stepped forward, an angry shout came from the back: "Bastard, you are so bold, who allowed you to come to the Guogong Mansion to wantonly kill people, or the young lady of the Guogong Mansion who killed!" ”

The steward turned around and saw the six princes who suddenly appeared behind him, and immediately knelt down and saluted, but was kicked to the ground by Qin Liangye.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take down these bold things!"

Qin Liangye snorted coldly, and the people behind him immediately stepped forward and arrested the steward and the two mothers-in-law, and Wei Qingqing also seemed to have really been 'beaten' by that stick and fainted. 、

"Your Highness Six, the little ones are doing things according to the orders of the prince......"

"Fuck you!" Qin Liangye stared coldly at the steward with his hand: "The prince's brother is ordered by his father to supervise the affairs of the court, and there are so many things in the court waiting for him to deal with." How could he have the spare time to work with a weak woman? Not to mention that he is an upright man, he can't do anything to let people beat women and children to death, which is his identity, and he won't do anything to go to his house to bully his woman while Rong Che is paying a private visit with his father. ”

The steward's heart froze, and he saw Qin Liangye staring at him dangerously, and asked: "Or do you mean that the prince's brother has completely ignored his father's safety and wants to kill his father's wife on trumped-up charges, what does he want to do to force Rong Che to be disobedient?" Rong Che has a heart of disobedience, what good is he doing? ”

Rong Che has a heart of disobedience, and the prince will naturally be able to ascend the throne early!

But who would dare to say such a rebellious word, and who would dare to touch it?

The steward's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Sixth prince, this matter was originally told to the crown prince that the young lady of the Guogong Mansion disrespected the royal ......"

"Which royal is disrespectful?" Qin Liangye sneered and asked him: "The young lady has not been out of the door recently, which royal is she disrespectful, can you tell me clearly?" ”

"It's a long ......"

The steward raised his head suddenly, this is the set set given by the eldest princess and brother to the prince!

The steward turned his head and stared at Wei Qingqing, she must have known, otherwise why was she so calm? There is also the prince's edict......

The steward's reaction, and then looked at Qin Liangye, who came prepared, and gritted his teeth: "All of these are none of the prince's affairs, they are all small private opinions, and those who are small today are willing to take full responsibility!" ”

With that, he turned his head and slammed into the pillar on the side. Blood splattered on the spot.

Qin Liangye snorted lightly, motioned for someone to drag the steward away, and glanced at the two trembling mothers-in-law before his eyes fell on Wei Qingqing, but Wei Qingqing's face was white, and there was no sign of waking up at all.

Qin Liangye frowned, stepped forward and said, "Let me come, I'll send the young lady back......"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Lan Zhi immediately rejected her, and Lan Sheng, who came in from the corner gate, had already brought her mother-in-law and carried Wei Qingqing away.

Qin Liangye was unwilling to follow, but Lan Sheng stopped him, and it was Lan Sheng who quietly went out from the backyard to invite Qin Liangye to come.

"Your Highness, you have already done our young lady a great favor, and the second master will definitely be very grateful to you."

"Hmm."

Qin Liangye stopped, looked at Lan Sheng, who was very measured, and didn't say more, only waiting for Lan Sheng to turn around and leave, and then walked directly towards the courtyard of the eldest princess.

Wei Qingqing was sent back to the Wanqiu Courtyard before she woke up, just now she really fainted, an indescribable feeling of nausea made her eyes black in an instant, and she was still secretly wondering if her condition had really worsened.

"Fortunately, the Sixth Highness is not far away." Lan Zhi brought Wei Qingqing medicine and sighed.

Lan Sheng glanced at Wei Qingqing, saw that she lowered her eyes and said silently, "The slave maid feels strange. ”

"What's strange?" Wei Qingqing was still quiet.

"The six princes and the crown prince are in the same way as the government, they should be very busy, how can it be so coincidental. He's nearby? Lan Sheng said: "And when the steward was about to commit suicide, the six princes could clearly stop him, but he didn't stop him." ”

Wei Qingqing drank the medicine, took another candied fruit in her mouth, and waited for the sweetness to slowly melt before she said, "Did you observe anything else?" ”

Lan Zhi was surprised: "Miss is suspicious, the sixth prince knew that there would be such a thing, and he didn't come here today to save the young lady?" ”

"If the sixth prince came here to save the young lady, he would not wait until the young lady 'vomited blood' and fainted before coming in, nor would he watch the steward crash to death, so that the prince's mansion and the Guogong Mansion would have a complete grudge." Lan Sheng calmly analyzed: "According to the slave maid, the prince has come to this point today, and it may not be that there are no means of the six princes. ”

Lan Zhi listened, only feeling scared for a while.

There is the eldest princess in the Guogong Mansion and the six princes outside, and now that the second master is not there, the young lady is like a chess piece in the hands of the two sisters and brothers.

"That's fine. It is only a matter of time before the Guogong Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have a grudge. "Since the emperor intends to let Rong Che and Rong Hai help the six princes, he will not allow the Guogong Mansion to still sway among the princes.

But being calculated today, Wei Qingqing is really unhappy.

"Mr. Yan can accept the post of the eldest princess to appreciate the morning plum?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"It's already taken." Lan Sheng replied.

"Is Li Yu dead?" Wei Qingqing asked again.

Lan Sheng seemed to understand what Wei Qingqing was going to do, and smiled lightly: "I 'stumbled' after getting drunk a while ago, and I have fallen into the water and died." ”

"Tell Mr. Yan the news, use it or not, in her." After Wei Qingqing finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, saying that it was Luluo asking to see her.

Speaking of pothos, Lan Zhi was angry for no reason, and Lan Sheng's expression was a little colder; "Miss, do you want to see her?"

After thinking about it, Wei Qingqing shook his head: "I'm tired, let her go back and rest, there is nothing to do, there is no need to come to the house to serve." After that, Wei Qingqing lay down tiredly, and her waist was a little sore recently, she remembered Rong Chelai, every time she muttered about her backache, he would always put his hand on her waist and use internal force to relieve his discomfort.

All of a sudden, the thought seemed to be intense.

When Lu Luo heard Lan Sheng's words, her legs softened a little, and her eyes were red and tearful as she looked at Lan Sheng: "I didn't mean to harm the young lady. ”

"I know, and so does the young lady." Lan Sheng didn't intend to blame her. But she won't be used anymore: "You're tired too, take a good rest." ”

After saying that, Lan Sheng turned around to leave, and listened to the green pothos choked up: "Today, Young Master Tang'er was suddenly taken away, and it was a girl named Xiaopei who came to tell me that the young lady was at the eldest princess's place, and I was in a hurry to find it." And today I went to the Eldest Princess's courtyard without any hindrance. That's why I ......."

Lan Sheng saw that she was not confused, so he stopped: "The young lady already knows, you can rest for a long time, if Young Master Tang'er will come back one day, I want you to take care of it." ”

Green Pothos looked at Lan Sheng, knowing that the facts had been cast, and they couldn't change it, so they had to kneel down and kowtow three times to Wei Qingqing's room. I went back silently.

Lan Sheng watched her leave, and didn't say anything, just asked someone to give Rong Hai the name Xiaopei.

The eldest princess hid it from Rong Hai again, and Rong Hai also knew what was happening in the mansion at the moment.

In the study, Grandpa Guo looked at him depressed and comforted: "Since you have chosen to accept her and come back, it is useless to feel sorry for yourself." ”

"Doesn't the father think his son should take her back?" Rong Hai asked Grandpa Guo.

"You have done everything you should and shouldn't do, it's useless to think too much." Grandpa Guo laughed.

Rong Hai looked at him, speechless, only felt that the bitterness in his mouth was terrible, even if he drank tea, he couldn't dilute the taste in his mouth.

Rong Hai got up and was about to leave, only to hear Grandpa Guo's voice say faintly: "But Hai'er, if you really can't bear it, Dad has a way to help you." ”

Rong Hai smiled lightly, his father has never been against the court, what can he do? It's nothing more than persuading yourself to take a concubine.

But she is already in tatters, the eldest princess has forgotten her proportions, and she has taken a concubine, isn't it hurting other girls?

"No need."

Rong Haitou didn't reply, and left after speaking.

Grandpa Guo watched his empty sleeves blown up by the cold wind, his face had become serious, and he only waited for Rong Hai to leave before he glanced at the people around him: "Go and pick up that Mr. Yan quietly, I have something to discuss with her." ”

"Does the master really plan to help the uncle?"

The subordinate on one side, who was about the same age as Grandpa Guo, asked him, as if he knew what decision Grandpa Guo had made.

"Madame is right, for so many years, I have only thought about myself, thinking about the glory of the Guogong Mansion, and I have never thought about it for the two children, and it is time to think about it." After Grandpa Guo finished speaking, he looked at the old man again and smiled proudly: "But my second daughter-in-law is not bad." It's pretty smart that it doesn't have to be me to do anything, and it can solve things so well. ”

The old man smiled and replied: "But the young lady's body ......"

"Don't worry, Che'er said that Han Xianzi is about to enter Beijing, but it's not a matter for the eldest princess to stay in the Guogong Mansion, and when Hai'er's matter is resolved, she will be sent to the eldest princess's mansion." Grandpa Guo said, his seemingly casual eyes had become sharp at some point.

What happened in the Guogong Mansion was quickly reported back to the Prince's Mansion.

The prince was surprised, but he was also a little nervous, who had always been rampant: "Why did the sixth brother go suddenly?" What to do about things, didn't this palace say it, the main thing is to scare and scare Wei Qingqing, let her confess the best, how could he really do it, and he did it so ruthlessly. ”

The third prince sitting below opened his eyes and coughed twice, then glanced at Wei Susu, who was sitting beside him as steady as Mount Tai, and said: "Brother Huang, don't worry, you must have been calculated by the sixth brother and sister this time." The top priority now is how to explain this matter clearly to my father first, and not to ask the sixth brother to take the lead. ”

"Yes, yes!"

The prince thought about it, and immediately called someone to spread the news.

After doing this, the prince was still annoyed: "It's really hateful, why didn't this sixth child die in Saibei in the first place?" If Bengong had known that he would come back, and had already gotten rid of him, how could he be allowed to come back arrogantly? ”

Wei Susu lowered her eyes and drank tea, and the third prince looked at her face, hesitated, and said; "Brother Huang, the younger brother has a way to make it impossible for the Guogong Mansion and the sixth brother to form an alliance."

"Method?"

"Yes, this is still something Su Su came up with, and Su Su has been worrying about the affairs of the imperial brother all day long." The third prince smiled.

The prince glanced at Wei Susu, because of Wei Qiongwei's affairs, the prince had been estranged from General Wei's mansion for a long time, and he didn't agree to marry Wei Susu, if it wasn't for the emperor's direct marriage.

The prince stared at Wei Susu coldly: "Yes, then you can tell me, what is the way?" ”

"Does the prince know that Wei Qingqing has been sick?" Wei Susu obediently got up and replied.

The prince was noncommittal, waiting for her to continue.

Wei Susu was still well-behaved and lovely, looked at the cold-faced prince, and said: "As far as Su Su knows, Wei Qingqing has been ill for a long time, but he was poisoned, and this poisoned person, in addition to Rong Minghuo, the second master of the Guogong Mansion who thought he was smart, there was another person. ”

"Who?"

The corners of Wei Susu's mouth hooked, thinking that when Rong Ruizhang sent the news before, she herself felt surprised, and her smile deepened: "Others would never guess it, I think, even Wei Qingqing herself didn't guess that this person would be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who is also the daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, her sister-in-law!" ”

After hearing this, the prince laughed sarcastically: "Impossible, the eldest princess is crazy and wants to kill Wei Qingqing." Doesn't she know what the impact will be on the sixth child once the matter is revealed? ”

"His Royal Highness is an open-minded man, so naturally he won't understand that once a woman is jealous, she can do anything." Wei Susu couldn't understand it anymore: "The eldest princess married Rong Hai, but Wei Qingqing got very close to Rong Hai's confidante, I heard that the eldest princess and her wife were not in harmony, and the eldest princess couldn't take the initiative to Rong Hai's confidant, and it was normal to hate Wei Qingqing instead." ”

The prince glanced at Wei Susu, who was confident, and his eyes lit up slightly: "What do you mean......"

Wei Susu smiled: "Your Highness can do whatever you want, Su Su and the Third Highness, it's all up to you!" ”
