Chapter 407: What kind of person is it?
Faced with her daughter's sudden question, Princess Taiping was a little unresponsive.
"Why did you suddenly ask about her?" Princess Taiping frowned.
Thinking of the past, when she mentioned in front of her daughter that she should not get too close to Wang Shutong, her daughter always declared very dissatisfied that she and Wang Shutong were good friends.
Princess Taiping didn't know what her daughter was stimulated by today, not only did she suddenly return to Beijing, but also took the initiative to ask herself what kind of person Wang Shutong was?
"Mother, someone told me that back then, I fell into the water in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because there was another hidden reason. He also said that I would come back and ask you, saying that you knew the truth of the facts" Lord Wencheng looked at his mother suspiciously and asked.
"Over the years, I have been knocking on you and telling you that Wang Shutong, a woman, is not as innocent and kind as she seems. But you always felt like I was trying to sow discord between you and her. Compared to, Wang Shutong, I am more curious now about who can make you doubt what happened back then? ”
"Mother, it's none other than the real princess Song Yi. The child went to the countryside this time, and happened to meet her and took the children to the countryside to escape the summer. I saved her son Qiuqiu by chance, and she brought the child to thank me. We chatted for a while. I found out that she wasn't what I used to think she was."
Later, Guan Zhongyu chased him to the countryside and wanted to harass Song Yi, but he was ...... Well, in short, this time, my daughter has changed her opinion of the real princess in the countryside. Later, we mentioned Concubine Qi. Song Yi said something that her daughter had never heard of, and although I didn't believe that Shutong would do something like that, her daughter still felt a little upset."
"Mother, how could I fall into the water in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then? How can I be left unaccompanied? Do you know the truth about what happened back then? ”
Lord Wencheng's urgent tone showed her mood at the moment, and Princess Taiping looked at her daughter and understood her daughter's entanglement at this time.
After all, she is a friend who has always been treated as a sister, and how can a woman who is very righteous towards her daughter accept that her sister is touching herself with a purpose?
"You were only eight years old, and I didn't want you to go to those feasts. However, you have been fun since you were a child, and you like to join in the fun. I have no choice but to ask Mrs. Xing to take you to the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You've always had the secret guards of our princess's mansion by your side. It's just that because it is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is inconvenient for the secret guards of our Princess's Mansion to enter"
"However, you still have the girl I arranged for you to take care of by your side. It stands to reason that there should not be an accident that falls overboard. Unexpectedly, you suddenly fell into the water in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and by the time I knew it, you had already returned to the house. I don't believe it was just an accident, and it was already investigated. But the strange thing is that no matter how I interrogated me, the girl who was with you at that time didn't know what to ask, "Yunhai."
"When I knew that it was Queen Sun Shutong of the Yin Wang family of Jingzhao Mansion who saved you, I suspected that this matter was not simple. The Wang family is a princeling, and I have known about this for a long time. The battle between the crown prince and the second prince has been going on for a long time, and the two of them have always wanted to win over our princess mansion in order to inherit the throne."
"But you also know that I don't want to get involved in politics, I just want to live a peaceful life with you alone. So, at that time, I knew that it was Wang Shutong who saved you. I was very skeptical. Is it the conspiracy of the queen and Prime Minister Gong. The purpose is to find a breakthrough in you."
"Mother, what did you find out in the end?"
"Nope! I interrogated all of them, and their confessions were consistent. It is said that you are greedy for fun, and you went to the rockery by the lake in the prime minister's mansion without telling everyone, and accidentally fell into the water. The other guests were in the front yard and the people didn't know where you had gone and were looking around. When you fall into the water, there is no one else around," Princess Taiping said.
"Doesn't that mean that Concubine Qi was wronged? I knew that Shutong would not be that kind of person, it must be Song Yi's villain who deliberately provoked the relationship between me and Shutong in front of me" Lord Wencheng only heard his mother say that she was not suspicious when she fell into the water. Didn't see the expression on my mother's face.
When he noticed it, Lord Wencheng was puzzled, "Mother, what's wrong?" Isn't that right? ”
"The county lord of the dignified princess's mansion, wherever he goes, he is not surrounded by a large group of people. Although you were only eight years old at the time, your mother had always been the last powerful woman in the Qianchao. No matter how naughty you are, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could Prime Minister Gong let you run away from the public's sight alone? Besides, the banquet held in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people who went were all relatives of the emperor and ministers of the humerus, how could the guards be so lax? You fall overboard, and no one notices. In the end, Wang Shutong, who was only ten years old at the time, saved you by accident? ”
"Perhaps, at that time, there were too many guests in the house, and they were all too busy; Perhaps, it's me who is too naughty, mother, you also know how naughty I was when I was a child, I ran out secretly and didn't tell anyone, it's also possible" Lord Wencheng himself was a mess, but he still instinctively wanted to rationalize the events of the day for various reasons.
"Let's not talk about it first, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not an ordinary mansion, and the defense must be arranged without leakage, and it is simply unwilling for a little girl to run to the back garden, and no one will find out. Even if, because of a moment of negligence, you avoided layers of eyeliner, what about her Wang Shutong? How could she, a ten-year-old girl, avoid everyone, run to the backyard, and just save you? ”
"Didn't you say that she had known a lot since she was a child, and how could she run to the backyard alone when she went to a banquet with her mother Guan that day? Therefore, I have always suspected that on that day, you did not fall into the water at all, and Wang Shutong did not happen to pass by at all. Everything was pre-arranged"
"Mother, since you suspect that it was not an accident back then, why didn't you tell your daughter at that time?" Lord Wencheng asked.
"Back then, I wasn't sure, after all, Wang Shutong also risked his life and went into the water to save you. I have no evidence, and although I doubt it, I don't dare to question it at will. Otherwise, others will only think that I am a villain and a gentleman's belly. Besides, accusing Wang Shutong is tantamount to accusing Prime Minister Gong and Empress Gong. I don't dare to talk nonsense without hard evidence"
"As for you, at that time, you were moved that Wang Shutong saved you and treated her as a friend of life and death. Every time, I mentioned Wang Shutong in front of you, and before I could say that she was bad, you began to be unhappy, so I asked me not to say that she was bad. I thought, since Wang Shutong may have been arranged by someone to be by your side, the purpose is to win over our princess's mansion, and he should not poison you. Therefore, I haven't told you this all these years, and it's just because I haven't found out that Wang Shutong has done substantial harm to you."
