Chapter 308: The Strangeness of the Palace
After a while, I only heard the princess say: "It's not all uncomfortable. ”
Song Xiang looked up. I saw the princess looking straight at the ground: "If he really didn't get involved in the death of King Ning and the crown prince, then Minjia wouldn't have to carry a burden, which would be a good thing for me." ”
Song Xiang silently. For all the people related to King Jin, if he is not a murderer, at least it will make innocent people much easier.
She thought of King Jin's confession to the princess again, and she didn't know how much it would touch the princess?
looked at the princess's face again, but saw that her expression was calm, and she was already carefully reading the folds prepared by Yingniang.
……
Mrs. Nanping Hou naturally learned the cause and effect from Zhong's mouth at this moment in Yifu Palace, and people of her age naturally knew that the wealthy family was deep and it was difficult to meet a family that loved each other in harmony in the inner house, but Zhong was planted in the hands of her husband's biological mother, which was cold enough. Inevitably, we will further inquire into the truth.
Although Zhong felt that his mother was the closest, but if he told all the details, then Concubine Zhou's confession that she was instructed by the King of Jin to frame Song Xiang could not be hidden, and she herself felt very strange about this matter, and the King of Jin and the princess also had disputes, these are things that cannot be passed on.
Mrs. Nanping Marquis also believed that there was a princess in the palace who upheld justice, and the King of Jin did not mean to protect the Zhou family, and Lu Zhan and Song Xiang did not have crooked intentions, but this is a relief place. As for whether Lu Yun will be badly affected because of Concubine Zhou, this is a later story, but I can't care about it at the moment.
This side comforted the Zhong family for a while, and it was inconvenient to sit for a long time, so he went out to Qiwu Palace to bid farewell to the princess.
After two rounds of persuasion from Song Xiang and his mother, Zhong also knew that he still had to live this life. Fortunately, Lu Yun was not confused to the extreme, so he had to get by. When Lu Yun came in with the medicine, she opened her mouth to talk to him: "How to deal with this matter, have you inquired?" ”
Lu Yun saw that she was willing to speak, and hurriedly said: "The concubine has already entered the palace, and the results will come out soon." ”
Zhong looked at him and said, "That's your mother, do you blame me?" ”
When Lu Yun heard this, he sat down and was stunned, and his eyes were red little by little. After a while, he grabbed the robe on his knee, but said again: "You are right, she is my own mother, she has always urged me to go up all these years, let me drill camp this drill camp that, although I have been annoyed by her countless times, it can't change the fact that I was born by her." But this is her own bad heart, how can I blame you for getting such an end? And if I have some opinions, I will not listen to her to provoke against you in order to calm the matter, if I don't do this, how can our children be harmed? How did you become her tool for the sake of others?
"I have tasted the bitter fruit of gentleness, it is a living human life, and if I do not grit my teeth, I will surely die in the future. So don't worry, I have no resentment, let alone resentment. At most, when I came to deal with her funeral, I knelt in front of the spirit more often and kowtowed a few more times. ”
Zhong was also moved when he heard it. "We also have aunts who have given birth to concubines in our house, but none of them dare to be so bold, because my parents and brothers strictly abide by etiquette, and the people below dare not mess around. If you can have this feeling, it is not in vain that I have suffered this way. ”
The couple sobbed for a while, but Lu Yun realized that he couldn't arouse her too much sadness, so he stopped crying first and wiped her with a handkerchief.
Zhong said again: "Last night, when the mother concubine had a dispute with her father, did you go to inquire about the follow-up?" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yun's expression also became in a trance: "They have never blushed between them, although yesterday's incident has the cause of the side concubine, it is also very strange." I haven't bothered to pay attention to it, and it's not right to show my head at this moment. ”
Zhong nodded: "I always feel weird, the fourth brother and sister have only been in the house for a long time, and this marriage is personally designated by the emperor, it stands to reason that my father has no reason to disapprove." Even if you don't approve of it, there's no need to target it privately. Why did he instruct the concubine to do this? ”
Lu Yun also felt puzzled, but at this moment, she should not work hard, and the conspiracy on the left and the calculation on the right in the palace will inevitably make her feel contempt for the palace, so she said: "My father has always been humble and benevolent, how could he use such a strategy to deal with his daughter-in-law?" Maybe there is no such thing, but the side concubine deliberately diverted her gaze.
"Don't worry about it, it's better to take care of yourself, I'll pay attention to these things."
Zhong got his heartfelt words, his heart relaxed, so he lay down according to his words and raised him.
Lu Yun took care of his wife while paying attention to the fate of the Zhou family without mentioning it, Lu Zhan thought about it in the palace for a while, and his mind was chaotic, so he simply went to the yamen.
There are only a few days left before the departure paddock, and now there are discussions everywhere about this matter, as well as the King of Qin and Han and some of the garrison generals entering Beijing - in order to reward the meritorious ministers, every autumn, the emperor will appoint a group of generals from outside Beijing to accompany the paddock, this time it is said that more than a dozen are also planned, and these days are also the time when they arrive in Beijing.
Lu Zhan had no mental politics, and remembered Xiao Zhenshan, so he sent Chonghua to Xiao's house to ask where Xiao Zhenshan was?
Chonghua came back soon: "The little marquis is at home, it is said that the third master of the Xiao family will also arrive in Beijing today, and the eldest princess ordered him not to go out." ”
Although Xiao Zhenshan's father has three brothers and sisters, but Yong'an Hou and his younger brother are mediocre, Xiao Qi, the third master of the Xiao family, was originally the son of the Xiao family's side branch, and he had no father and mother when he was young.
When Lu Zhan heard this, he stood up and went out to Xiao's house.
Yong'an Hou's Mansion is full of lights today, and is waiting to welcome Xiao Qi, who has not returned from the house for three years, back to Beijing, Yong'an Hou specially told Xiao Zhenshan to go to the West Lake Building to book a table and return to the house to pick up Xiao Qi's wind, Xiao Zhenshan came back from the West Lake Building, and met Lu Zhan in front of the house.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Zhenshan quickly dismounted, and neatly pulled him into the door: "What a coincidence!" Today, my third uncle is home, there is a reception banquet, you and my third uncle are also familiar with each other, just together! ”
Lu Zhan grabbed him: "I won't eat anymore, I'll talk to you for a while, and I'll leave when your uncle arrives." ”
Xiao Zhenshan found that it was dark under his eye sockets, and he was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it unhappy with your daughter-in-law? ”
"It's not." Lu Zhan denied it.
Xiao Zhenshan paused, and said, "Whatever you do, let's talk about it in the house!" ”
Lu Zhan nodded and went up the steps.
