Chapter 243: The Third Bird
"In fact, Concubine Yan has her own plan to kill three birds with one stone when she does this. Mrs. Zhong didn't want to continue to defend herself.
He Jingjing is not like an ordinary simple village girl, she is very shrewd.
For smart people, you have to have a smart way to get along, and if you don't really give a sweet olive branch, you will never open the skylight and say bright things.
"How can you kill three birds with one stone?" He Jingjing asked curiously, "One of the birds must be me." ”
"The county lord is really smart. Mrs. Zhong felt that she had made no mistake in gambling.
"The reason why the crown prince was framed in the previous dynasty has not yet been investigated, and this matter has become the biggest obstacle in the emperor's heart. ”
He Jingjing sometimes envied the friendship between his father and the emperor.
has seen too many life-and-death stories of fighting for power, He Jingjing never thought that such a simple friendship would happen in this dynasty.
He Jingjing was happy for her dead father, and also expressed great respect for the emperor's affection and righteousness.
"The emperor has been investigating this matter since he succeeded to the throne, and he has never had a clue. Old Lady Zhong sighed.
Do you have a clue about this? It's probably the person next to you who did it.
The enemy is in the dark, and every move of the emperor is likely to be known by Concubine Yan, so it is strange that it can be found out.
Because he really couldn't find anything, the emperor announced that he had given up, but in fact, he still sent someone to investigate in secret, and finally traced some clues over the years. ”
The efficiency of this ancient investigation is not high, but it is not easy to find some clues after so many years.
He Jingjing felt that it was not easy to be an emperor.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty won the trust and love of the emperor, and the Emperor handed over the investigation of the case of the rebellion of the former Prince to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few months ago. ”
He Jingjing was a little shocked.
I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still investigating this matter, no wonder the two hadn't met, and he still called himself the imperial sister.
There is actually this layer of origin in this.
"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found out anything?" He Jingjing continued to ask.
After asking, He Jingjing felt like a mentally retarded person, although Mrs. Zhong knew some inside information, but how could she know about the progress of the prince's investigation of the case.
After all, Mrs. Zhong's current understanding of the whirlpool of power struggles in the palace all comes from Concubine Yan.
Wait, if that's the case, then Concubine Yan also knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is secretly investigating the case of the murder of the former prince?
"This old body is not clear, but the emperor said this after drinking, and it was known to Concubine Yan. ”
Mrs. Zhong's words confirmed He Jingjing's conjecture.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Prince's plan to investigate the murder of the former prince was known to Concubine Yan.
In that case, things get a little tricky!
"So this second bird is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" He Jingjing slowly said his guess that he had almost confirmed the answer.
"Exactly. Mrs. Zhong felt that He Jingjing was too smart, a little more clever than she imagined.
"Concubine Yan is going to use the excuse of this inspection to remove the county lord and His Royal Highness the Prince. Mrs. Zhong said frankly to He Jingjing.
"How much do you know about what Concubine Yan asked Yan Ruyu to do to the prince that day?" He Jingjing wanted to see how high Mrs. Zhong's status in Concubine Yan's heart was.
If it is really as Mrs. Zhong said, Concubine Yan should have no defense against her, and even some plans will be discussed with Mrs. Zhong.
"The old body knows that when Concubine Yan asked Yan Ruyu to ask for peace, she smeared some powder that attracted wild wolves on the sleeves of His Royal Highness the Prince, the powder yellow, which matched His Royal Highness the Prince's clothes, and it would never be obvious if you didn't look carefully. ”
"And the smell can only be smelled by sensitive wild wolves, ordinary people can't smell anything abnormal?" He Jingjing continued to ask.
Old Mrs. Zhong nodded, affirming He Jingjing's thoughts.
confirmed her guess, He Jingjing was still afraid for a while.
If he hadn't noticed this detail at the beginning, the prince would have been seriously injured if he didn't die now.
The performance of those hungry wolves on the mountain that day, He Jingjing saw it bit by bit.
Even a coat that hung so high could be torn into small pieces by wolves in an instant.
The deafening cry He Jingjing felt that it was still ringing in his ears now.
He Jingjing didn't dare to imagine the next scene anymore, she could only say that she was lucky this time and escaped Concubine Yan's plot.
The women in the harem are really ruthless! I don't know how many people's corpses climbed up those high positions!
Although it was the prince himself who proposed to go to the mountain to see, He Jingjing was just a leader.
But He Jingjing believes that with Concubine Yan's ability to pry up, if this matter goes to the emperor, it is really hard to say what will happen.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the emperor's favorite son, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.
His small body should not be able to withstand the emperor's anger.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really taken away by wolves, he can't tell even if he has a hundred mouths.
Fortunately, I have more eyes and watched Yan Ruyu's actions, otherwise my whole family would be imprisoned now, and maybe a treason charge would be arranged.
"One bird is me, and the other bird is His Royal Highness the Prince, what are these three birds? Also, if Concubine Yan really just wanted to cover up the truth about framing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, she could completely erase the evidence, why did she deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so deliberately?"
In addition to being shocked, He Jingjing didn't understand a lot in her heart, this concubine Yan's idea was too strange, and there were too many flowers.
"These three birds are also inseparable from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Mrs. Zhong said after taking a deep breath.
He Jingjing listened attentively, the only place in this conversation where He Jingjing didn't have any clue was coming.
"Although Concubine Yan is now a noble concubine, and even acts as the queen to take charge of harem-related matters, she is never the queen's mother. ”
Old Lady Zhong looked at He Jingjing's face as she spoke.
"The concubine wants to be the queen?" He Jingjing guessed.
"The concubine's current treatment is similar to that of the queen, and she doesn't care if she has that false name. Sometimes it's inconvenient to really sit in that position. ”
"Why is that?" He Jingjing didn't understand, she didn't want to be a queen anymore, why did she have to do everything?
"Concubine Yan has a son, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encounters misfortune, Concubine Yan Niangniang can not only cover up the truth of the year, but also let the emperor make her son the crown prince. ”
