Chapter 177: True Purpose
"Could it be, the fourth prince wants to use the third princess to deal with the third prince."
The palace maids got together and chatted gossip, Wei Han and Wei Cheng have been at odds since childhood, and the emperor loves these two sons very much, so one of them will inherit the throne, this matter, everyone in the palace is like a mirror in their hearts, but they don't say it on the surface.
Rumors spread ten, ten, hundreds, and one by one they had noses and eyes, as if they had seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears.
The news that was released in the morning had been completely dispersed in the palace before noon, and some troubled nobles agreed, and they got together to chat about these gossips in the palace.
The Queen Mother, after lunch, wanted to go to the Imperial Garden, so she drove the Imperial Garden, but on the way, the Queen Mother naturally heard these rumors, her face was very ugly, and she had not yet arrived at the Imperial Garden, so she went back to her Cining Palace.
"Mama Li, go and ask the mourning family what the hell is going on." The Queen Mother had a gloomy face, leaned back in her chair and ordered.
At the same time, Concubine Hui also got the news.
"Guifei Niangniang, slave maid ......" Hui Guifei's maid looked embarrassed, and she was a little hesitant to say it, after all, this is related to Guifei Niangniang's biological son.
"Just say it." Concubine Hui asked pointedly.
So Hui Guifei's maid told Hui Guifei everything she knew, and Hui Guifei's face gradually changed, and she squinted her eyes and looked ahead. This Wei Cheng is too much, and he actually used such despicable means, Hui Guifei looked down on Wei Cheng from the bottom of her heart, and Hui Guifei never thought that it was her own son who released the news.
"Queen Mother, there is news, and now it is spreading everywhere in the palace, saying that the fourth prince took the initiative to find the third princess in order to find out the news of the third prince, and he is still stalking the third princess."
The Queen Mother listened and threw the teacup in her hand to the ground
"The Queen Mother is angry."
"Tell the emperor about this, and you must punish and punish the four princes, unscrupulous means, regardless of brotherhood, to do such a ridiculous thing." The Queen Mother gasped for breath, Mama Li stood aside, and hurriedly gave the Queen Mother a relief, and the Queen Mother eased up.
Mama Li persuaded the Queen Mother a few words, and then went to the emperor on the order of the Queen Mother.
The Imperial Study
"Your Majesty, Mama Li asks to see you." The superintendent's father-in-law came in to report.
The emperor stopped what he was doing, put down the twists and turns, and was a little puzzled. Mama Li is the person next to the Queen Mother, why did she suddenly come here, could it be that there is something wrong with the Queen Mother.
"See her come in."
"Slaves and maids see the emperor." Mama Li gave the emperor a salute.
"Is there something wrong with the Queen Mother, asking you to come to me." The emperor sat on the dragon chair, glanced at Mama Li suspiciously, and then picked up the brush and began to write.
Mama Li told the emperor everything that happened today, and also told the emperor that the queen mother was very angry because of this incident, and asked the emperor to punish and punish the four princes.
"I know everything, tell the Queen Mother, I will visit her when I have time, tell her to rest and pay attention to her body, I will give the Queen Mother an explanation for this matter."
In fact, the emperor himself also understood in his heart that the queen mother was indeed a little eccentric and favored Wei Han. So he also understood that the Queen Mother needed to give Wei Han an explanation for this matter.
However, to his cold disappointment, Wei Cheng wanted to find out the news of Wei Han. That's why I took the initiative to find Su Zhenzhen, could it be that I was already anxious and wanted to do it now. Thinking of this, the emperor angrily threw away the pen in his hand, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
"The slave and maid are getting better and better at the word emperor." Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, the director's father-in-law opened his mouth and praised him.
"Are the rumors credible?" The emperor suddenly asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid only know that there is no wind and no waves, if the slave and maid are not wrong, the emperor must have already known the rumors in the palace." The director's father-in-law is still calm, probably staying by the emperor's side for a long time.
At this time, Wei Cheng was in the study of his own mansion to take care of some recent court affairs, because he was not in the palace, so Wei Cheng did not know the situation in the palace today, until his personal guard overheard some rumors, and then came back to report.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates entered the palace today and heard about some things related to you, so I inquired further."
"Oh, it's nothing more than the matter of this king and the three princesses, it's okay." Wei Cheng continued to be busy with the work at hand, and he didn't care very much about this matter.
"It's true that this matter is true, but it is now rumored in the palace that you took the initiative to find the third princess, and it is to find out the news about the third prince." The subordinate's face was a little solemn.
When Wei Cheng heard this, he threw away the fold in his hand.
"What." Wei Cheng was a little surprised, he never thought that Wei Han would come to Su Zhenzhen in this way, Wei Han was simply crazy, and he also led the fire to himself, in order to save Su Zhenzhen, he did not hesitate to expose his power in the court, Wei Han was too hard.
Wei Cheng sat in the carriage all the way, constantly thinking of countermeasures in his heart.
"Princess, the slave believes that the prince will rescue you in a short time." August sat next to Su Zhenzhen and said happily.
"This concubine also believes in the prince?"
The two sat on the haystack and chatted, August saw that Su Zhenzhen's face was not very good, and she was always a little absent-minded, so August kept making Su Zhenzhen happy, and August also told Su Zhenzhen about the beating of Mrs. Cheng yesterday, and Su Zhenzhen just smiled lightly after hearing it.
"Princess, what's wrong with you, after the prince left, you are a little distracted, do you miss the prince, the prince will come again tomorrow." August looked at Su Zhenzhen and smiled.
"No, Concubine Ben is just a little worried about the prince." Su Zhenzhen shook her head when she heard this. Falling into contemplation again, August saw that Su Zhenzhen was not talking, so she closed her mouth, not talking endlessly, she knew that now her master must want to think about things quietly by herself, so August leaned against the wall and closed her eyes slightly. , enjoying the time with Su Zhenzhen.
Wei Cheng arrived at the palace after a while, he walked on the way to the imperial study, along the way you could vaguely hear the palace maids talking, Wei Cheng's face became more and more ugly, Wei Cheng finally stopped, the sound of chirping immediately stopped, the atmosphere was suddenly quiet and terrible, Wei Cheng's cruel eyes glanced at everyone one by one, although it was a hot dog day, but the palace maids still felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they shivered unconsciously.
Wei Cheng continued to move forward a little, and the words of those palace maids sounded in his ears from time to time, Wei Han suddenly stopped, temporarily changed his attention, he temporarily changed his mind, he didn't go to the imperial study to find the emperor first, the emperor's attitude will be known tomorrow in the morning, and now the more important thing is to think about it, but the other party Su Zhenzhen.
Wei Cheng turned around and walked towards the dungeon in the palace, Wei Cheng's eyes were still very sharp. Walking forward angrily, walking with the wind.
"Princess, you must be hungry, eat something."
"If the concubine is not hungry, let it go first."
"My subordinates participated in the Four Princes, but I don't know if the Four Princes are coming, what are you doing?" The chief of the prison was stunned, when suddenly a figure broke into his line of sight, and when he saw who it was, the chief of the prison stood up.
"This king is looking for someone, go, and bring Su Zhenzhen to this king." Wei Cheng ordered coldly.
"It's the prince, you two go quickly and bring the third princess over."
Su Zhenzhen and August were chatting about something, suddenly two soldiers walked in and opened Su Zhenzhen's prison door, Su Zhenzhen suddenly became vigilant when she saw this, and looked at the two soldiers who came in with a wary face, August saw this and hurriedly went out in front of Su Zhenzhen, she was afraid that these people were hurting the princess, and the prince was not there, so she had to protect the princess well.
"Get out of the way, Third Princess, please." A soldier pushed August away, August fell to the ground, Su Zhenzhen glared at the two soldiers, and hurried over to help August.
"Presumptuous, in front of this concubine, he is so bold." Su Zhenzhen took out the momentum she should have as a princess and shouted, although Su Zhenzhen looked very fierce, but in fact, Su Zhenzhen's heart was already panicked, she didn't know what these two people were going to do when they came over, she didn't want to experience something like that that day once.
"Princess, someone wants to see you." The two soldiers glanced at each other and spoke.
"Could it be that the words of the third prince, you have turned a deaf ear, if there is no permission from him, but whoever comes, the concubine will not be seen." Su Zhenzhen turned around and looked carefully to see if August was injured.
When the two soldiers heard this, they went back dejectedly. The two of them told the prison chief about the matter, and the prison director's face suddenly turned blue, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Wei Cheng with some embarrassment, Wei Cheng ignored them, stood up and walked inside.
"Why, can't even this king see me?" Wei Cheng walked in, before the sound arrived, Su Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, feeling that the voice was a little familiar, it was Wei Cheng, hum, he was embarrassed to come, Su Zhenzhen was a little angry when she thought about it, Wei Cheng didn't explain a word, she was wronged and imprisoned, and she was embarrassed to come over.
"Why, the fourth prince is here to see a stupid joke." Su Zhenzhen sneered, looked directly into Wei Cheng's eyes, without the slightest fear, only anger, Wei Cheng avoided Su Zhenzhen's gaze, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile.
"This king is so idle there, this king came to you today to want to know, what is going on with that matter, and when did this king ask you about the news of the third brother."
"Does the prince have it, don't you know it yourself, and you still want to ask me a woman, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves." Su Zhenzhen snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
Su Zhenzhen was so angry because Wei Cheng didn't have a word to explain for herself, Su Zhenzhen thought about it, Wei Zhen came to her because of this matter, which means that she has damaged her own interests to a certain extent, Su Zhenzhen's heart is relieved of most of it, and there is a chance that this matter will succeed.
"This king's memory is a little unpleasant." Wei Cheng bit his lip tightly and said, why did this woman speak so aggressively, Wei Cheng scolded in his heart.
"But you know that this king has never asked you such a thing." Wei Cheng added.
"Lord, this concubine doesn't understand, what do you say, I don't know if you have other things, if not, this concubine has to rest well, this is no better than the palace, this concubine finally has sleepiness, so I won't stay with the prince." Su Zhenzhen squinted her eyes and yawned, she really didn't want to see the man in front of her, she just wanted to see him leave quickly.
