Chapter 304: Unpredictable Thoughts
The Queen Mother's eyes sank for a moment, then she looked at Zhao Ling with a smile, and said kindly: "You have never spoken to the imperial grandmother like this!" The imperial grandmother is not as good as a woman in your heart? ”
"The imperial grandmother is very important in my grandson's heart, but Xiaoyu is also the woman I decided to spend my life with, and my grandson has emphasized this many times, and I don't want to spend more time on this matter. The imperial grandmother is the mother of the world, and the grandson does not dare to be disrespectful, but the grandson is also an independent person, so the grandson has his own bottom line, and the grandson does not dare to disobey the will of the imperial grandmother, so he can only die with Xiaoyu! Zhao Ling raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother deeply, "Imperial grandmother, even if you feel sorry for your grandson, let your grandson stay with Xiaoyu, her grandson has known her since she was a child, and she has known her, and she has missed it for ten years in the middle, and I don't want to miss it again!" ”
The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Ling tepidly, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if the conversation between them had never happened, and said lightly: "The mourning family knows, you go back first, the mourning family will handle this matter well!" ”
"Grandmother Xie Huang is considerate!" Zhao Ling clenched his fists, and finally looked at the Queen Mother, there was still some worry in his eyes, as if he had something to say, but he just pursed his lips slightly, and what he wanted to say was still not spoken.
"Queen Mother......" The eldest princess was uneasy in her heart, and said tentatively, "What the queen mother just said is ......."
The Queen Mother raised her hand so that she didn't have to say any more, and sighed softly: "You just said, the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, how can the mourning family be so good?" ”
"The son of the world is too childlike, this is not a man's doing!" The eldest princess said coldly, "Jiang Xiaoyu is a scourge, if the prince dares to threaten the queen mother today, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be bewitched by her in the future and do other things!" ”
Her voice was lower and colder, and she said in the queen mother's ear: "The queen mother might as well think about it, she Jiang Xiaoyu can't get over her heart because of the Bai family's affairs, does she really only hate the eldest grandson's family and Qi Siyuan?" Could she have a bigger conspiracy, a deeper purpose? ”
A trace of murder flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, but her face was still indifferent: "This matter will be dealt with by the mourning family, you don't have to say more!" ”
"Yes!" The eldest princess gritted her teeth, she knew in her heart that although the Queen Mother felt sorry for her grandson, she would definitely not be really threatened by the words of the Prince, no matter which aspect, Jiang Xiaoyu's existence was the thorn in the Queen Mother's side, except for it, and now it just needs to be more hidden.
At this time, Mama Qu entered again and said, "Queen Mother, the queen mother asks to see you!" ”
"How did they come so diligently today? I haven't seen them pay so much attention to the mourning family on weekdays! The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and said impatiently, she was very dissatisfied with the queen's handling of the old lady of the Jiang family.
The queen hurriedly entered, and after saying goodbye, she came to the queen mother's side and said, "Queen Mother, something happened to the fifth prince!" ”
The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's a long story!" The queen said, "A few days ago, Zhao Quan and Jiang Haoran, the boy of the Jiang family, beat the son of the Guogong Mansion to death, and this matter can be said to be conclusive evidence, but the queen mother can rest assured that the leader of this matter is the kid of the Jiang family, Zhao Quan was just taken by him, and at most he was reprimanded by his father for a few words." It's just that after investigation, it was found that the place where they had a conflict with people was in a gambling house, but this gambling house was actually opened by the five princes, and the five princes were still children, and it was nothing to open a gambling house, and these sons of the family did not have their own property, but this gambling house was a little unclear......
"Oh?" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and asked softly, "What is not clear?" ”
"This gambling house has been open for less than two months, but there is an endless stream of people who come to the gambling house, and there are losses and wins in this gambling money, and it is not uncommon for the gambling house to give usury, but the fifth prince is a prince, and he has done a little too much...... Maybe it was the people under his command who bullied the old five young and didn't understand the accident, but after all, the boss is the fifth child, and the impact is not good, and the people who owe money to the gambling house have wives and daughters who force them to become prostitutes, and let them buy their wives and daughters to brothels, as for those bachelors, they are bought to work hard in the mines! ”
The queen paused and continued: "If the matter is only here, forget it, the five princes were deceived at a young age, and it would be good to know that they were wrong and teach a lesson, but this mine was mined by the five princes, and these minerals are all from the imperial court, how dare this private person mine it is not far from the capital!" Those officials don't know anything? Not only mining minerals, but also mining accidents and deaths during the investigation, but this matter has not been reported at all! ”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was silent for a while, so that people couldn't guess what she was thinking, and then smiled faintly: "Not long after this happened, the queen has investigated so clearly, it seems that the queen, your ability is not small!" ”
"Queen Mother...... This matter is too obvious, as long as Shun Teng knows these things, it is not difficult, and the concubine knows that this matter is not trivial, isn't this a hurry to report to the queen mother! The queen said aggrievedly.
"Do you still want to say that these things happened when the mourning family and His Majesty were not in the capital, and let the second child temporarily take care of government affairs?" The Queen Mother laughed, there was no smile in her eyes, only a touch of coldness, "Do you still want to say that the second child may also be involved in this matter, and let the mourning family also go to check the second child by the way, and see if those people collude with the second child to enrich their own pockets?" ”
The queen's heart sank, and she looked at the queen mother in some astonishment, not knowing what the queen mother meant by this, she tried her best to keep the queen's position, wasn't it because she was on the side of the third child? Isn't this a good opportunity? Did she guess wrong?
Her eyes rolled for a moment, and the queen hurriedly said: "It must be that the second prince must trust the second prince to act as an agent for government affairs, and if there is no evidence, the concubines dare not guess indiscriminately, nor dare they have such thoughts!" ”
"It's good if you don't have it!" The Queen Mother said coldly, "There are some things that should not be taken care of by the mourning family, some things should be managed by the mourning family, the mourning family will not take care of the affairs of the government, and someone will tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty has its own judgment, but the grandson of the mourning family can still take care of it, and call the concubine and the five princes!" ”
"Yes!" The queen hurriedly said, her face still a little flustered.
"The minister has also retired!" The eldest princess lowered her eyes and said, she knows something about this matter, but she doesn't know that there are so many things behind it, and I don't know if Hou Ye has done anything in this matter! Moreover, the attitude of the queen mother is really worth pondering......
Isn't the concubine warning herself, let herself go back and tell the Hou Ye and her father-in-law, do what you should do, and don't participate in the dispute between the two princes again?
"Imperial sister-in-law, please stay!" The eldest princess hurriedly caught up with the queen.
"What does the eldest princess have to do?" The queen asked, looking a little detached from the previous warmth compared to before.
She talked to Zhao Ye for a long time, His Majesty wants to get rid of the eldest grandson family, but the eldest grandson family wants to be tied to the third prince, this move will naturally make His Majesty unhappy, and in the long run, even if His Majesty does not uproot the eldest grandson family, it will weaken its strength, and now it should gradually stay away from them, instead of falling deeper and deeper!
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't talked to the imperial sister-in-law very well in recent days!" The eldest princess smiled slightly, "By the way, what do you mean by what you said about the queen mother?" ”
"The queen mother doesn't understand what this palace means, and I don't want to speculate, this palace just wants to do what she should do!" The queen smiled faintly.
"Do you think it could be that the queen mother's mind has been biased towards the second child?" The eldest princess said softly, "Don't be too careful, I don't mean anything else, just to remind the imperial sister-in-law!" ”
"The intentions of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, the palace and the three princes are not qualified to evaluate, as ministers, they will only act according to orders, but thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, the palace still has important things to do, so I will leave first!" After the queen finished speaking, she turned and left.
The smile on the eldest princess's face gradually cooled down, and the queen mother was warning them not to approach the third prince again, because she was already thinking about the second prince, don't struggle anymore, obediently listen to His Majesty's words, and the queen is afraid that she also wants to get as far away from them as possible, is the eldest grandson's family really like a dangerous egg now, and everyone can't avoid it?
After Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling separated, she did not go back to Jiang Mansion directly, she handed over the affairs of the Guogong Mansion to Zhao Ling to deal with, because she had other things to deal with, one was the matter of Kuaxiong's escape, and the other was that someone seemed to be inquiring about the matter between the fourth aunt and Jiang Huiran.
Kua Xiong escaped, and now he has once again taken refuge in the eldest grandson's family, after Qin Wei's death, he is an important witness, it is naturally the best to be alive, if he can't be used by me anymore, and even threaten himself, then there is no need for him to live!
As for the fourth aunt and Jiang Huiran, they are constantly trying to contact the outside world and escape from their control, if their traces are discovered, it will still be a little troublesome, and the mother and daughter are not suitable to be together now, the fourth aunt is like ashes, and the only weakness is this daughter......
Jiang Xiaoyu found Liu Xiaodong, she didn't dare to go to the courtyard where her uncle lived, for fear of exposing her uncle's whereabouts, but called Liu Xiaodong out.
"What's the boast that's gone?" Liu Xiaodong glared at Jiang Xiaoyu with hatred, "How hard it took to catch him at the beginning, several of my brothers died, why are you so careless, that kid will be disguised and hallucinated, and if you want to find him, it's not easy to talk about!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said apologetically: "This time I was negligent, I have nothing to argue, but although this matter is troublesome, only you can handle this matter in the entire capital!" ”
