Xie Yinghui knew that the Cao family had been staring at the position of the crown princess of the East Palace, hoping to continue the glory and power of the Cao family's descendants.

However, Empress Cao and the crown prince are now facing Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince step by step, and they need strong foreign aid, so they take a fancy to the Zhao family. For this reason, Empress Cao did not hesitate to grieve the daughter of the Cao family to become the prince's side concubine, under the main concubine, and postponed entering the palace for a few years. Of course, Xie Yinghui also knows that the idea of Queen Cao and the Cao family is to use the power of the crown prince's maiden family to stabilize the prince's position. When the crown prince successfully ascends the throne and sits firmly on the throne, the crown princess can retire and give up the position of the queen of the main palace to the Cao family.

The Cao family looked at the future crown princess, of course, their impression was not too good, and they probably felt that she had robbed the Cao family's daughter of the crown princess. However, if the crown prince does not have strong enough supporters, once the second prince snatches the throne of the prince, neither he nor Empress Cao will end well, and the Cao family, which is attached to their mother and son, will have a bleak future. Therefore, even for the sake of Empress Cao and the crown prince, they can't do anything to Zhao Ying, but they should find ways to promote her marriage with the crown prince. It's a matter for the future.

The Cao family has no reason to attack the crown princess candidate now, so what did Onyx say to the mother-in-law who sent the message?

Xie Yinghui instructed Lu Qi: "Find a way to inquire, which master of the Cao family is spreading rumors outside and slandering Miss Zhao?" ”

Lu Qi's face was embarrassed: "Miss, I'm ...... Almost all of my family members are in the village, but there is only one cousin who works on an errand in the Chengenhou Mansion, and she still works in the big kitchen. Even if I ask her, she won't be able to answer? Where can I go to find out? ”

Xie Yinghui was stunned when she heard it. She used to tell this kind of inquiry, all she needed to do was to tell Onyx, who could always find out for her. Is this kind of thing so difficult to do? But then again, it is true that Onyx is very capable in this regard, but he is towards the Cao family in his heart, and no matter how capable he is, he can't fully trust it. Lu Qi is quite clever on weekdays, even if she is poorer, she is more loyal and reliable than Agate.

Xie Yinghui sighed, some things are always difficult to have both, but she can tell which is more important. In the future, she will no longer trust and rely on agate as much as before.

Lu Qi lowered her head and did not speak, but she knew in her heart that the mountain in front of her had loosened, and it was about to collapse at some point. Onyx is making stupid mistakes, and as long as she wins the trust of the young lady, the next position in charge of the big girl will be hers.

Xie Yinghui was silent for a long time before letting Lu Qi retreat: "I know." ”

Lu Qi curtsied and bowed.

In the evening, Xie Yinghui washed under the waiter of Onyx, sat in front of the window with her hair loose and blew the wind, and said to Onyx while everyone else was out: "Is there a way to inquire, what news is there from the Cao family recently?" These days, all kinds of rumors are flying in Beijing, and there are many people who spread rumors about Miss Zhao's family, and eighty percent of them are those who have daughters who are candidates for the crown princess. We know what is going on, and we naturally understand that those who spread rumors will not end well. I'm just a little worried...... Cousin Wen Luan was almost going to be the crown princess before, but now the queen mother is more interested in Miss Zhao, Cousin Wen Luan shouldn't hold a grudge, right? I hope that she didn't get involved in the messy rumors outside. ”

Onyx paused for a moment in his hand, quickly looked at Xie Yinghui's expression a few times, and saw that she seemed to be genuinely worried about the Cao family, so she hesitated for a moment before replying: "Earlier, Mrs. Chengenhou sent someone to deliver something to Miss, and I saw that it was an acquaintance, so I talked to her for a while...... After Mrs. Chengenhou checked, she found out that Mrs. Pingnanbo had bribed the subordinates of the big house and let them act outside in the name of Chengenhou's mansion...... "This is actually the latest news she just got from the mother-in-law, and it is the result of Mrs. Chengenhou's vigorous investigation."

Xie Yinghui was stunned again: "My aunt did it?" Why would she do it? Even if Zhao Ying can't become the crown princess, it won't be Cao Wenfeng's turn, right?! ”

Onyx actually couldn't understand this, after Ping Nanbo's death, the dream that his family had had basically had no hope of coming true, and it was impossible for Cao Wenfeng to marry into the East Palace. So it is inexplicable that Mrs. Ping Nanbo made such a play. She could only guess: "Could it be that for the death of Ping Nanbo, she held a grudge and deliberately gave the queen mother and the Chengenhou Mansion no face?" ”

Whatever the purpose, it's stupid enough. Pingnanbo's Mansion lost the emperor's holy family, and even Empress Cao and Chengenhou's Mansion gave up on them, and the heads of the clan's concubines dared to show their faces. Now they are not honest and filial piety, waiting for the resurgence in the future, and what are they doing in the troubled waters chosen by the crown princess? This is not in the face of the queen, but in the face of the royal family, in the destruction of the queen's big plan to stabilize the status of the crown prince!

Xie Yinghui was unprecedentedly clear-minded, and instantly saw the current situation of the Pingnan Bofu family, and was even more shocked to find that the aunt who used to be close to the family and the cousin who was in love in her heart were such short-sighted and stupid characters! Why didn't she see it before?

At that moment, Xie Yinghui's mind faded a lot of the filter on the Pingnanbo family, she seemed to suddenly see how blind she had been, and she didn't know what to say for a while, her heart was sour and weak, as if she had suddenly lost the strength of her whole body.

Seeing that Xie Yinghui didn't speak for a long time, Onyx cautiously asked, "Miss?" ”

Xie Yinghui came back to her senses after a while: "It's okay, it's not early, I'm going to sleep." ”

Hey? Wasn't he still talking about the Cao family just now?

Onyx tentatively asked again: "What about Mrs. Napinnanbo......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xie Yinghui waved her hand and said lightly: "My aunt has her own ideas and won't listen to my advice, what can I do?" Let's rest early, we have to go out of the city tomorrow. "I really got up and went to sleep.

Onyx always felt that something was wrong, but Xie Yinghui spoke, and she could only clean up her mood and fold the quilt for the little master.

Early the next morning, someone from the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongning, Xie Yinghui only instructed Cai Laotian and his wife, let them take care of Jiang's mother, guard the door, and come to the eldest princess Zhuangzi to reply to her if there is something, and then board the car and leave.

Xie Yingrong got the news in Jinxuantang, and didn't even go out to send off the eldest sister, so he instructed the beeswax: "Let's go out quickly, the Bian family should go to Cheng'en Temple at the beginning of the morning (nine o'clock in the morning), we have to go over in advance, so as not to let Mrs. Bian misunderstand that we are going to the Cheng family." ”

Beeswax has already been taught by Xie Yingrong, very honest and obedient, hurriedly responded, said hello to Aunt Dajin, and carried a basket to accompany Xie Yingrong out and go to Cheng'en Temple to "pray for incense".

Aunt Dajin had just seen Xie Yinghui off at the front door, and when she returned to the room, she took a breath when she heard that her daughter was going out, so she hurriedly came out and said, "Why did you suddenly say that you were going to incense?" Shall I go with the girl? ”

"No need, just ask the porter to prepare a car, and call a mother-in-law to follow the car." Xie Yingrong said casually, "Auntie takes care of Mother Jiang at home, and prepares the old lady to send someone back for questioning." I just dreamed of a Bodhisattva last night, and I wanted to go to the Buddha to pray for the old lady's blessing. If the old lady really sent someone to ask, you would answer her like this. After saying that, he led the beeswax away.

Aunt Dajin couldn't stop her daughter, but fortunately, Xie Yingrong also took a few people out, and they went to the Cheng'en Temple they were familiar with, so there would be no problem. She stood in the front yard for a while, and then went to see Mrs. Jiang.

Looking at Mrs. Jiang's unconscious appearance, Aunt Dajin was full of uneasiness. She didn't know if it had anything to do with her daughter, let alone what her daughter wanted to do......
