As a scholar, Xie Jinzhi trusts the emperor's wisdom very much, and he also feels that the queen from the Cao family, although her methods are not lenient and she pays too much attention to the power and interests of the Cao family, she is not a brainless person.

Since the Cao family abandoned their former ally Wang family, and even instructed the Cheng family to destroy Wang Angui's mouth in disguise, even the fire of the Wang family seems to have happened because of the persecution of the Cao family, and the daughter of the Wang family is the enemy of the Cao family, and it is impossible for Queen Cao to sit back and watch such a woman stay by her son's side, and when her son becomes more and more rebellious, she instigates their mother and son to become more and more separated.

However, Xiao Rui told him a frustrating answer: "For the sake of Wang Meiru, the prince is separated from Queen Cao and the Cao family, and he always does things that cause headaches for the queen." The future wealth of the Cao family depends on the crown prince in the final analysis. If the Cao family wants to produce another queen in the future, give birth to the next prince with the blood of the Cao family, and continue the glory and wealth of the Cao family, they can't really offend the prince ruthlessly. What is a Wang Meiru? The prince may just ask for it but can't get it, so he will never forget her. When she becomes an ordinary concubine in the apse of the East Palace, the prince will no longer be rare.

"What the Queen thinks, I don't know. But I asked someone to inquire about the meaning of the Cao family, and they may not have noticed a little movement, as if there was some rumor from the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, but at the moment they didn't care so much. They don't mind giving the prince a little sweetness for the time being, because the Cao family is about to keep filial piety for three years. In the past three years, they have not been able to withstand the slightest change. At this time, if a woman can appease the prince, let the prince stop having trouble, let Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince have the upper hand, and then let the prince get close to his uncle's family again, it is actually a very cost-effective deal. Wang Meiru is just a dowry girl at the moment, and there is the eldest lady of the Xue family above to suppress her, I am not afraid that she will become the climate and do something big to hinder the Cao family. ”

Xie Jin's face was stunned, and he hurriedly asked: "The Cao family is just doing this kind of stupid thing of raising tigers for their own selfishness." Wouldn't Empress Cao agree to do this? She is not afraid that the daughter of the Wang family will stay by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, and she will instigate the prince to do irreparable things, so that the Cao family will fall into a place of no return? ! ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said disapprerovingly: "How can these nobles take Wang Meiru, who is now a lost dog, in their eyes? Even if the queen mother knew that Wang Meiru had entered the East Palace, she would feel that she was a cheap maid she could kill at any time. If the prince could really regain his deference and filial piety to her because of this, she would only be happy. ”

Xie Mulin only felt that the Cao family was too naïve: "The Cao family still wants to use Wang Meiru to appease the prince, be honest for a few years, don't let the second prince and Lin Zhaoyi catch the handle, but they don't know that this Wang Meiru himself is the biggest handle." Once the second prince and Lin Zhaoyi stabbed this matter in front of the emperor, how did Empress Cao plan to defend the crown prince? Wang Meiru is an exiled prisoner ordered by Qin, and it has violated the law of the country by faking death to escape punishment, and it is even more taboo to enter the palace in disguise. Will the emperor agree? I'm afraid that even the Xue family will be affected, right?! ”

Xiao Rui said lightly: "If no one reveals this matter, how can Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince know the identity of a girl in the backyard of the East Palace?" The crown prince's back house, the emperor and the queen mother will not pay attention to it, and except for the queen, no one else dares to trespass. With the protection of the crown princess, as long as Wang Meiru doesn't run around and doesn't cause trouble, no one will know that she has infiltrated the East Palace. Empress Cao has been the master of the harem for more than ten years and is very confident in her own power. The Cao family also believes in her ability. ”

In other words, even if Queen Cao, the crown prince and the people of the Cao family knew about Wang Meiru's entry into the palace, they didn't think that anyone else would know the truth?

Xie Mulin thought that under the nose of Empress Cao, Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince who could still appear against her mother and son, as well as the third prince who was secretly playing conspiracies and tricks and was ready to stab them at any time, he wanted to sneer: "If they are such big-hearted people, then they will be calculated by the third prince in the future, and there is nothing to be wronged." ”

Xie Jinzhi was so angry that he didn't want to speak. For their own selfishness, the Cao family once again ignored the law of the country, and even ignored the safety of the prince...... Such a relative, dying early, is the blessing of the community!

Xie Huizhi had been making wallflowers on the side for a long time, and he was only surprised, and then he whispered: "That...... Should we beware of that Wang Meiru slandering the prince and slandering his father? ”

Xie Mulin said: "Although Wang Meiru said that he had an enmity with our family, it seems that he had a greater enmity with the Cao family and the Cheng family. But you can't do it. My idea is that my father is far away under the jurisdiction of King Yan's Mansion in Beiping, even if the prince listens to slander and wants to be unfavorable to him, he must first get the permission of King Yan, so as long as Dad does not make mistakes and does not offend King Yan, it should be fine. But just in case, we can have a prophet of the important ministers of the court and the central government, and let them beware of the fact that there is really a bewitching concubine beside the prince, and they are ready to deal with her at any time! ”

Xiao Rui immediately thought of someone: "You seem to recognize Jiao Yintai, the secretary of the government, right?" ”

Xie Jinzhi's expression softened: "Lord Jiao is an old friend of my great-grandfather. Xie Huizhi showed a hint of joy: "The recommendation letter for the eldest brother to enter Zhushan Academy was written by him." He and his eldest brother's teacher, Niu Daru, seem to have been friends for many years. Let the big brother write the letter! ”

Xiao Rui thought for a while: "Jiao Yintai is in control of the General Administration Department, and he has always been well-informed, if he comes forward to deal with this matter, it will be justified." Anyway, when the emperor asked about his source, Master Jiao didn't answer, so it didn't matter. That's it...... It's best not to let Grand Master Xie come forward. No matter how he says, he is also the grandson of the Cao family. It's not that I can't trust him, but I think ...... It doesn't seem to be of much benefit to outsiders to think that he killed his relatives in righteousness. ”

Xie Jinzhi immediately nodded: "Second Prince Xiao is right. In this matter, it is better to inform the grandmother first, and it is more appropriate for the grandmother to write a letter to Jiao Yintai. "The Xie family has been hostile to the Wang family, and they have also been relatives of the Cao family, so no one will find it strange if there is any unclear source.

Thinking that the threat brought by Wang Meiru was not impossible to deal with, and the danger faced by his father Xie Pu was not too great, Xie Jinzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Rui's gaze, and softened a lot: "Thank you so much for this important news." If we hadn't gotten the letter from you, I'm afraid that when our family received the news that our father had been framed, it would be too late to do anything, let alone fight back. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "It's easy to say, I am also a person who has received the favor of your family, and I have been in contact for so long, how can I be regarded as an acquaintance." How can I watch you suffer? ”

Xie Huizhi laughed when he heard this: "That's a good thing to say. Second Brother Xiao is our good friend! ”

Xiao Rui smiled kindly and brightly at him, and hugged his shoulders to show that the two brothers were good. Xie Mulin snickered secretly.

Xie Jinzhi is not a person who is used to owing favors, he said to Xiao Rui very sincerely: "If there is anything we can help with, Xiao Ergongzi must not be polite." As long as we can, we will do our best to help! ”

Xiao Rui blinked, glanced at Xie Mulin, and said quietly: "Speaking of which, there is really something, I want to ask you for help." After you hear this, don't think I'm cheeky. ”
