Chapter 1162: Suspicion
If Wang Meiru is in order not to be "removed from the mother and child", it is reasonable to say that she kept her eyes on the crown princess Xue and kept retaliating.
But this can't explain why she wants to destroy the relationship between the queen mother and the crown prince. It is impossible for her not to know that the crown prince's position is now unstable. The emperor insisted on abolishing the prince and setting up another one, and although the courtiers said that they opposed him to abolishing the elder and the younger, if the prince had obvious faults and was proved unworthy of being the prince, then the courtiers could not stick to their original ideas. And rushing into the queen mother and being rude to her grandmother is obviously a big trick. In the case that the Queen Mother did not want to be unfavorable to Wang Meiru, Wang Meiru acted in an unnecessary scene, which made the prince lose his mind and the relationship with the Queen Mother deteriorated, which seemed very strange.
Xie Mulin still felt that Wang Meiru's motives were very suspicious, she was obviously in a situation where she had to rely on the prince and the prince to gain power, but everything she did was to subtract points for the prince. If it is said that the crown prince before Nawang Meiru became a concubine was only working against his mother Empress Cao and his uncle's Chengenhou Mansion in some things, and lacked respect for the fiancée candidates favored by his elders and the family forces behind them, and seemed a little rebellious, then now he is completely a faint monarch. He just hasn't made a big enough mistake, and there is a mother who is willing to sacrifice her life for him to think hard for him, and she has attracted the sympathy of many people and is willing to stand up for him, otherwise his position would have been lost, where else would he have the leisure to stage any drama of spoiling concubines and killing wives, and wives and concubines fighting for the wind? !
Therefore, Xie Mulin felt that Wang Meiru's feelings for the prince were very strange, didn't she really know the prince's current situation? Now is the critical moment for the East Palace to work together to tide over the difficulties, and she actually tossed endlessly in order to defeat the crown princess and avoid being killed by her wife? ! She is favored by the prince alone, is there no other way to save herself? As long as she says a word, can the prince still let the princess's people approach the delivery room?! Can you make such a big fuss about a complaint?
Her existence was originally the handle of the prince, but now she is dragging her feet more and more. What is she trying to toss so much? Aren't you afraid that the prince is really because of her, and he will fall into the hands of others and lose the position of the prince? When the prince is no longer the prince, can she, the daughter of a criminal official whose identity is doubtful, really escape justice? I'm afraid that even her sister and her aunt Cheng Er, who knows about it, will be punished together.
Therefore, Xie Mulin asked Zhu Rui very solemnly: "Does Wang Meiru have a special grudge against the crown prince and want revenge to ruin his future...... Or is it possible that Wang Meiru was instructed by others to deliberately drag the prince back? If so, who would be the one who instructed her? ”
Zhu Rui was surprised, thought about it carefully, and hesitated a little in the tone of his voice: "If the Wang family is not a fool, but someone instructed it, then Second Sister Xie, your guess is indeed possible, but there is no evidence to prove it at the moment...... I'll keep an eye on it. It's just that...... It is not so much that the Wang family was bribed before entering the palace, and he wanted to be unfavorable to the prince, but it was better to say ...... Her sister may really fall into the hands of others, and in order to save her sister, she has to drag the prince back. This is a bit more likely. ”
If Wang Mei was really coerced, then the person who could threaten her would definitely be in the palace, and even the candidates were very limited. The second prince has been succeeded and has no capital to toss. The four princes already have the chance to win, they just need to wait for the emperor to abolish the prince and lie down to win, and they can't make any more moves at all. In the end, the most likely person left is the third prince.
The third prince has nothing to do with Wang Meiru, but the fourth girl of the Xue family is his fund provider and future concubine candidate, and the possibility of the fourth girl Xue reporting to him in the Xue family cannot be ruled out. He has long been involved in the injury of Old Master Xue, and it is estimated that he will not care about adding another pot to the Xue family. As long as the prince can make something happen because of this and make trouble with the storage position, he will earn it!
Could it be that this is the plan he secretly implemented after discovering that the emperor would not take the initiative to forgive Concubine Xiao? Speed up the process of the fall of the crown prince, and he himself will benefit? But the most promising one to ascend to the throne of the prince right now is not the Four Princes?!
Xie Mulin once again felt that the poisoning of the four princes was very suspicious: "If the third prince acts on both sides of the crown prince and the fourth prince, and makes himself the only winner, it is possible, otherwise he only deals with the crown prince, and he will only cheapen the four princes." Although it is very likely that the poison in the four princes was left by Empress Cao, is the person who poisoned him really the henchman of the Cao family? Is there a possibility of blame? Brother Rui, I think you should investigate carefully, don't be deceived and used! ”
Zhu Rui frowned and nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll pay attention carefully." He didn't expect this possibility, but after listening to his fiancée's analysis and speculation, he realized that he might have really been negligent. This kind of plan seems to be something that the three princes can come up with, rather than waiting for the emperor to let go of his words. No matter what the facts were, Zhu Rui felt that he should investigate carefully, instead of seeing that everyone around him thought that the Cao family did it, he really ignored the doubts in his heart.
But in any case, the situation of the four princes has now stabilized. No matter what kind of conspiracy the person behind the poison had, it has now failed. As long as this person is guarded against poisoning again and keeps the four princes safe, then Zhu Rui's side will be able to sit in an invincible position and not be afraid of any conspiracy.
The safety of the four princes during their stay in Peking was very important. Zhu Rui felt a lot of pressure in his heart when he thought about it, obviously he was about to marry a wife, and he was still married to his sweetheart, so he should be happy, but when he thought that the four princes were here, and he didn't know how many people were secretly preparing to do it, he felt a little breathless, and the joy of marriage was discounted.
When Xie Mulin heard Zhu Rui say this, he immediately stopped doing it, and said angrily: "This is not good!" When we get married, what does it have to do with those princes who are competing for the crown? Why do you feel a little less happy because the three princes may have intrigues and tricks? You're not alone, if you have any worries, just talk to your elders. The Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Yongning may have their own ideas, but King Yan will also have their own thoughts? His vigilance against Concubine Xiao and the Third Prince is no less than ours.
"You just have to tell King Yan what you think and ask him for help. It is related to the future of King Yan's Mansion, and King Yan should not ignore it. Even if he doesn't believe in your idea very much, he should send someone to the capital to verify. Anyway, he has to investigate the poisoning of the fourth prince now, and he checked the third prince by the way, so what can he do? Originally, the third prince was one of the suspects! ”
Zhu Rui laughed when he heard this, and after laughing, he looked at her fixedly: "You want me to marry you happily, don't you?" ”
"Of course." Xie Mulin glanced at him with disgust, "Since I want to marry you happily, you must not come to marry me with a sad face, otherwise people who don't know will think that you don't like me and don't want to marry me." That's not going to work! I don't want to listen to this kind of inexplicable gossip. The wedding that I have been looking forward to for so long, of course, must be perfect! ”
Zhu Rui was suddenly in a good mood, and clenched his fiancée's hand again: "You're right, of course, our wedding must be happy and lively, no matter who he is, he can't stir up the wind and rain at our wedding and spoil the scenery!" If he dares to do this, I will definitely teach him a hard lesson, so that he knows that I am no longer a soft puffer from my predecessor! If he wants to bully me, he wants to bully my daughter-in-law as well, so don't blame me for being rude! ”
