Zhu Rui was slow to answer this question.

To be honest, when he saw that the third prince didn't make more moves, he just persistently interceded for his mother Xiao Guifei, and by the way showed his determination to leave the inheritance clan, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

The three princes that Zhu Rui has known since he was a child don't seem to be such reckless and scheming. When he found out that the emperor had no intention of rehabilitating Xiao Guifei, he really wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Xiao Guifei's mother and son, and cut off the possibility of him, the prince Xiao wanting to save the throne, how could he do something to improve his situation. Even if he still wants to intercede for Concubine Xiao, he will come up with some new tricks, instead of just begging.

If it weren't for the fact that the poison in the four princes was more like the handiwork of the Cao family, and the queen mother endorsed it, Zhu Rui would really suspect that the poison was ordered by the three princes, so that all the brothers who were qualified to sit on the throne of the prince would be solved, and only one healthy candidate would be left, and the emperor would only choose him if he was reluctant. As long as he becomes the prince, what is he afraid that his biological mother Xiao Guifei will be questioned? The emperor will be lenient with her.

But all this is just Zhu Rui's conjecture, he has no evidence, and he can only accept other people's conclusions. However, before he left Beijing, he had instructed Bandung to pay more attention to the movements of the three princes, and if necessary, he could use 400 miles of expedited horses to send a letter to Beiping.

Zhu Rui could only tell Xie Mulin at the moment: "Concubine Xiao Guifei still had the idea of leaving the Third Highness from Jiyan Wangfu, and she once begged the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was not happy and politely refused, telling her that even if she had an unseemly charge, Her Royal Highness was still a golden branch and jade leaf, and she would always be crowned king in the future. But Concubine Xiao Guifei insisted on succeeding the Third Highness, and the Queen Mother scolded her, because she had ulterior motives, planning to use the power of the Yan Wangfu to let the Third Highness set off civil strife! ”

Of course, the Queen Mother was not happy to let the third prince go out of the Yan Palace, because the Yan King now has a son. It's all grandchildren, how could she let a grandson who doesn't like her very much rob another grandson of what he deserves? Besides, the third prince can still be crowned king if he doesn't succeed? Enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. Xiao Guifei had to let her son go to Xiao Xiangyan's Mansion, but she took a fancy to the military power of the Yanwang Mansion to give the third prince a chance to go to the next level. If you don't have external troubles, you will have internal strife. The Queen Mother doesn't take care of political affairs anymore? Also a person who understands? It is impossible for people to ruin the good fortune of her children and grandchildren.

The Queen Mother scolded Xiao Guifei away? The third prince later came to make amends for his mother. The Queen Mother doesn't want to see him! When she left Beijing, the third prince came to see him off, and she didn't want to summon him to talk. The second prince has officially succeeded? The prince is fighting for his wife and concubine? It upsets her. Thinking that the third prince was also unconscious, the queen mother panicked in her heart, and simply couldn't see it.

Xie Mulin hurriedly asked Zhu Rui: "Something happened to the prince again?" He's still in the mood to make such a moth now?! ”

Speaking of the Prince? Zhu Rui also felt very speechless: "It's not that he's messing around?" Although he refused to give up his position? Do you want to go against the emperor? also said something to complain that the Chengen Hou Mansion only cares about its own wealth but refuses to help him, a nephew? But in general, there was no trouble. Mainly that Wang Meiru? quarreled with the crown princess Xue endlessly, always saying that the crown princess wanted to be unfavorable to the emperor and grandson in her womb, but she could let the prince bump into the current situation every time. The crown princess couldn't defend herself, she was slapped by the prince, but she only knew how to cry and cry out for injustice? There is no way to counteract at all.

She made trouble with the Queen Mother twice? The Queen Mother had to pass on Wang Meiru's past teachings? Let it settle down? Get along with the crown princess. Who knew that Wang Meiru actually fainted in Cining Palace, saying that he had a fetal gas, and the prince rushed to pick him up? Even the queen mother collided, and the crown princess couldn't please her. The Queen Mother was annoyed when she saw that the husband and wife were arguing in front of her regardless of decency, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the housework of the East Palace, so she simply left Beijing early and hid quietly. ”

Xie Mulin only felt as if he was listening to a book: "Is Wang Meiru so bold?" Even if she competes with the crown princess in the East Palace, she dares to do this in front of the queen mother? The prince can even indulge her! For the sake of a concubine, the prince dared to rush against the courage of the queen mother, and the queen mother was not happy to see the prince succeed to the throne, right? ”

Who's to say it isn't? Originally, the Queen Mother had no intention of interfering in the prince's struggle for the crown, anyway, whoever ascended the throne was her grandson, but now, seeing the prince's absurd behavior, her old grandmother unconsciously had prejudice. The Queen Mother was also a daughter of an official family, and she read poetry and books since she was a child, and she knew many allusions to faint beauties in history. She never wanted to see such a faint king among her grandsons. Anyway, the emperor abolished the prince, not to kill the crown prince, but just felt that he was not suitable to cooperate with the king of a country, and he would have to be crowned another king in the future. The Queen Mother will not lose a grandson, so she is willing to support the emperor to abolish the eldest grandson.

As for Wang Meiru's fetus in the womb, it is close to giving birth, although she doesn't know men and women, but as the first person of the emperor's grandchildren, the queen mother also had great expectations for it, however, now her heart has faded a lot, and she would rather go out of Beijing to play than watch her great-great-grandson be born.

Zhu Rui also told Xie Mulin that because the crown princess Xue and Wang Meiru were constantly fighting, the latter did not know how many times he fell, and he didn't know how many times he ate something in question and how many times he moved his tires. Anyway, her fetus is not very stable at the moment, although the prince is more and more distressed about her, but everyone else thinks she is stupid, in order to compete for the wind for a while, she actually tossed the emperor and grandson in her belly to this point, in case there is a good one, will she have a good life in the future? No matter how good the crown princess is, she is still the crown princess!

Xie Mulin couldn't help but say, "Why did this Wang Meiru toss to this point? There is a problem with her life experience, and if the emperor does not issue an order to pardon her father, she will not be able to stand by the prince's side openly for a day, and she will have no position at all. Even if she has the prince's favor, it is impossible to be the crown princess, An An can just live a separate life, why do you have to get along with the crown princess? At the beginning, she still relied on the crown princess to enter the palace smoothly, right? Although the Xue family also used her to compete for the position of the crown princess, she successfully entered the palace and was favored by the prince, why did she deal with the princess now? Is there a feud between the two? ”

Wan Long had done an investigation into this matter, and Zhu Rui also got the latest investigation results before leaving Beijing: "The Xue family used to restrain the Wang family, relying on the hostage of the Wang family's sister. But after the Wang family entered the East Palace and was favored, relying on the favor of the prince, the Xue family forced the Xue family to release her sister and send it to Mrs. Cheng Er's Mansion in Ningguo's mansion, and since then, she has been secretly placed on Mrs. Cheng's second wife's dowry Zhuangzi. But some time ago, Mrs. Xue was seriously injured, and the Xue family was not optimistic about the prince, so they intended to start anew, and privately sent people to contact the big house of the Marquis of Ning Guo's mansion and the Bian family, the in-laws of the big house. Whether there was a deal between them, no one knows, anyway, within a few days, Cheng Er's wife married Zhuangzi, and Wang's sister suddenly disappeared. The Wang family suspected that the crown princess had let her mother's family make trouble, so she retaliated like crazy. But the Xue family has been shouting grievances, and has repeatedly stated that his fourth master Xue and Bian Juren and Uncle Cheng have met, but it is just by chance, and the friendship is not deep, and they have never met the sister of the Wang family. But Wang didn't believe it, she seemed to think that her sister was killed by the Xue family......"

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows: "Why would she think so?" Who told her? If she didn't know her sister's condition, how dare she turn her face with the crown princess? She wasn't afraid that the Xue family would have her sister in their hands, and if she was angry and angry, would it be bad for her sister? ”

Zhu Rui smiled a little meaningfully: "So the Xue family thinks that this is all her excuse, her sister is not missing at all, she just wants to take the opportunity to deal with the crown princess." ”
