Chapter 1205: Slander
The green-clothed palace man had a stunned and annoyed expression on his face.
But before she could say anything, the palace people outside the house had already loudly reported that the prince was coming.
The people in the green-clothed palace had to retreat to the bedside with the ginseng soup, pretending to be an ordinary maid, and waiting for the prince to leave before giving Wang Meiru a little color.
But after the prince entered the house, he first scolded the grandmother who had been persuading him not to enter the delivery room, and then sat directly on the side of Wang Meiru's bed and asked her how she felt and whether she was tired? Does it hurt? Then he saw the green-clothed palace man standing aside, and frowned, "What are you doing here?" Looking at the bowl in her hand, "Is this for my aunt?" What is it? ”
The people in the Green-clothed Palace were about to answer, but Wang Meiru was the first to speak: "It's ginseng soup." She said that it was used to moisten my throat, but I tasted it and felt a little cold, so I didn't want to drink it, so I just scolded her twice. ”
"That's really scolding." The prince glared at the green-clothed palace man, "It's a shame that you are still waiting by your aunt's side, and you dare to bring the cold ginseng soup to your aunt to drink, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?!" ”
The people in the green-clothed palace held their breath, but she only cared about talking to Wang Meiru, the bowl of ginseng soup in her hand had indeed cooled down, and no matter how much she defended, it was useless. The prince has always been the most serious in Wang Meiru's affairs, and she has no reason, if she collides back, she is afraid that she will be beaten. If you lose this important errand and delay the messenger on the master's side, it will be too unworthy.
So she immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It was the slave and the maid who were negligent, and the slave and the maid went to change the hot one." ”
The prince was busy talking to his concubine, and he didn't have time to attack her, so he waved her out with a wave of his hand.
When the people in the green-clothed palace went out, they glanced back at Wang Meiru and happened to look at her. Wang Meiru showed a sarcastic expression, and quickly turned her gaze back to the crown prince. The green-clothed palace man endured his anger, and Fang pursed his lips and went out.
When she left, Wang Meiru had less scruples when she talked to the prince: "Your Highness, I heard that the Chengenhou couple is here?" Have they seen the little princess? Do they like the little princess? The concubine failed to give birth to a grandson for His Royal Highness, and the Marquis of Cheng'en must be very unhappy, right? ”
The prince comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Cheng Enhou and his wife heard that I had a child, so how could they not be happy?" Besides, I have a daughter this time, and I will have a son next year, and it will be the same. Blooming first and then bearing fruit is more auspicious! As for whether Cheng Enhou and his wife are really happy in their hearts, I don't care. As long as it is not a child born to a Cao woman, whether it is a man or a woman, it is the same for them. Maybe I saw that you gave birth to a daughter, and Cheng Enhou was even more glad in his heart. ”
Cheng Enhou and his wife have always wanted to make their daughter the prince's wife and concubine, and give birth to an heir for the prince who can inherit the throne. They may be happy to see that after the prince has a son, the storage position will be more stable, but it does not mean that they will have much love for this child, and they are afraid that they will use it more. Once the daughter of the Cao family becomes the prince's wife and concubine and gives birth to an heir, the children born to other women are afraid that their lives will be in danger.
The crown prince also mocked Wang Meiru: "Cheng Enhou said that in the hands of the people left by the queen mother, the people who were originally placed in front of the emperor were arrested by the old man one after another a few days ago, and I don't know if their identities have been exposed." He asked me what I had these people do, and told me not to listen to your slander. I thought it was funny! Since my mother died, what has their family done besides persuading me to be honest?! handed over all the authority in his hand, and said to the outside world that he would give up his power and only seek wealth and stability. Even how I was doing in the palace, they didn't care anymore!
"Although in private, Cheng Enhou told me that the queen mother had already arranged to keep my storage place, so that I didn't have to worry. But except for the ministers in the court who opposed the abolition of the reserve, I didn't see what the Chengenhou Mansion had done at all! If they really have a plan, what's the point of telling me? I'm not a three-year-old, and I can still talk nonsense?! It can be seen that they are not really for me, but they are just coaxing me. You used the manpower left by the queen mother to plan for me, and Cheng Enhou still complains about me, it's really ridiculous! ”
Wang Meiru showed a panicked expression: "The people we sent out were seized by the emperor?!" This...... What can I do? What if they confess to us?! ”
"Rest assured, the queen mother can trust these people, and there are naturally hostages in her hands to restrain them, and she must not betray her master." The prince was not very worried about this, "Although they were caught, some of them were unexpected, but I didn't ask them to do anything out of the ordinary, but they just made a few 'accidents' and calculated the little four." The thing didn't work out, and the fourth child was safe and sound, can the old man still kill me for this?! Anyway, I didn't plan to do too much, but I just thought that if Xiaosi was seriously injured and left disabled, he couldn't be the prince, and I sat firmly on the throne of the prince, and I could reward him with more gold and silver in the future to ensure that he was rich, and he would have done his best. I didn't intend to kill me, and the old man had no reason to deal with me. ”
Wang Meiru showed a smile: "Your Highness is right. His Royal Highness is safe and sound, and if those people are wise, they should know and must not admit anything. Once they admit it, they will die, but we will not be in big trouble, it is better for them to grit their teeth and not admit it, and they can still shout wronged! ”
After a pause, she added: "It's just that this kind of thing, it's not very glorious to say it." If you can cover up the past, it's better to cover it up as much as possible. Not to mention anything else, there are still a few people who are following the Fourth Highness in Beiping right now, in case the Fourth Highness has a headache and brain fever in Beiping, and it bumps and bumps, and in the end it is counted on the head of His Highness, wouldn't it be too wrongful? ! Your Highness still has to be as clear as possible! ”
There is some truth to that. The prince hesitated for a moment: "But we can't get out of the East Palace, even if we still have a few people in our hands, if we are discovered by the old man again, then there will be no one to call!" ”
Wang Meiru smiled and said: "If Chengenhou really wants to contribute to His Highness, His Highness will let him do it!" It doesn't matter if you let him know what His Highness has done before. His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about the Cao family's wolf ambitions. If their ambitions are to be realized, they must first count on His Highness to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. When His Royal Highness ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, they have to abolish the Xue family first, marry the daughter of the Cao family into the palace to be the queen, and then try to let the queen give birth to the prince, and then raise it, and when they can be established as the prince, they will consider whether to poison His Royal Highness, and then enthrone the young lord, and the Cao family will take the opportunity to regent.
"Your Highness, think about it, how much work does it take for a young man? At the moment, they will only devote themselves to His Highness, without His Highness, their ambitions are just pipe dreams! Therefore, Your Highness can only use them with confidence. It's a big deal that he will successfully ascend the throne in the future, and it's not too late to go to liquidation. ”
The prince muttered: "This makes sense......" has already been moved.
Wang Meiru showed a smile, but a trace of shame flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head.
