Chapter 27: Intricate Relationships (1)
At the mention of Prince Min, the queen's face became gloomy again, she reached out and took the teacup next to her, took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and then, very firmly, said:
"This matter, I'm pretty sure, it was Xia Rui who did it, in the entire harem, there will be no second person except him, and he is also the one who benefits the most in this matter, my judgment will never be wrong! It's a pity...... For so long, I have not been able to grasp conclusive evidence, so I can't pull him down from the crown prince, and the emperor is still being deceived by him. But, sooner or later, I'll make him pay for everything he has done! ”
When Gao Ziyuan heard this, he nodded, and instructed: "Since this is the case, you will let go and investigate, but no matter what you find, you must notify me as soon as possible, and don't act privately." ”
"I see." The queen's face raised a grim look, and she said coldly, "Xia Rui is so cunning, we have already suffered a loss from him once, next time, we must plan carefully, and we must be foolproof!" ”
Speaking of which, Gao Ziyuan reminded again:
"And ...... Concubine Yu's matter, don't drag it out for too long, you can deal with Xia Rui in the future, and you can still use her! Judging from yesterday's situation, that crown princess seems to have some ability, the Yun family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the daughter sent to the palace must be different, so don't take her lightly! ”
The queen's face was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I will send someone to keep an eye on her!" ”
"It couldn't be better!"
The queen said again: "Brother, it's rare for you to enter the palace once, why don't you have lunch with me at noon and then go back, our brother and sister haven't sat at the same table for a long time to drink and eat!" ”
When Gao Ziyuan heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Yes, it's been a long time since we've been together, and in a blink of an eye, we're all old, but I always remember that when you and Concubine Yu weren't out of the pavilion, you were chasing and frolicking in the mansion, hehehe...... Today, I will follow you, have lunch in the middle palace, and then go back. ”
The queen knew that this was Gao Ziyuan secretly reminding herself that no matter when, she couldn't lose her family.
Even if the queen was still angry in her heart, it was dissipated because of Gao Ziyuan's persuasion.
--------------------
Because on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Yun Xiao prepared the antidote in advance, and King Xuan's body recovered quickly.
When King Xuan recovered, he came to the East Palace to thank Yun Xiao.
At that time, Xia Rui was drinking tea in Yun Xiao's bedroom, and he was very happy to see King Xuan:
"Ronghui, you're here......"
King Xuan smiled at him, but did not sit down immediately, but bowed to Yun Xiao in a dignified manner, and said:
"Say hello to the crown princess, this time, thank you to the princess for coming to the rescue in time, otherwise, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"
Yun Xiao hurriedly said: "Hurry up and excuse me!" We are originally a family, I should save you, the prince doesn't have to be so polite, take a seat! ”
"Crown Princess!" With that, he found a place to sit down next to Xia Rui.
Here, Xia Rui looked at King Xuan and said with a smile: "Ronghui, it's really rare, you still have such a well-behaved time, speaking of which, this is the first time you have officially come to your new sister-in-law to say goodbye!" Hahahahahaha......ha
When King Xuan heard this, his face turned red, and he frowned and blamed: "Second brother, I am here to thank my new sister-in-law today, what are you talking about this?" ”
Xia Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Why can't you say it?" You should serve tea to your new sister-in-law, he's your serious sister-in-law! Your courtesy is not in place! ”
"I ......" King Xuan's face turned even redder.
As soon as he heard Xia Rui's tone, he knew that Xia Rui had true feelings for Yun Xiao, and it was really like what he said before, Xia Rui had been fascinated by the Yun family.
Alas, this flower is really useless, she has already married into the East Palace, and she still can't look down on the person she likes!
Here, Yun Xiao saw this and hurriedly played a round: "Okay, okay, we're all a family, what are you doing with those false courtesies?" False etiquette is made for outsiders to see, we just need to be harmonious and reunited. ”
When King Xuan heard this, he smiled again: "It's better to be a new sister-in-law, unlike my second brother, who is as strong as a cow, and his speech is not good!" ”
When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately glared at him and said, "Ronghui, how did you speak?" You look like this, just tell your new sister-in-law not to prepare a meal for you at noon today, and just dry you in this hall to drink the northwest wind, anyway, you don't think it's good to be polite! ”
"You ......"
The brothers were unceremonious when they talked to each other. Yun Xiao seemed to be watching Yun Hong and Yun Ping bickering, she shook her head and interrupted their argument:
"Okay, Your Royal Highness the Prince, didn't he come to greet his concubine? Don't pick his etiquette anymore, now, it should depend on the etiquette of the concubine! ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Qianyue and commanded,
"Qianyue, go and bring the red envelopes prepared by the palace to King Xuan, don't be lazy!"
"Yes." Qianyue obediently responded, then turned around and entered the inner hall, and soon, she presented the red envelope prepared by Yun Xiao in advance with a plate.
In fact, Yun Xiao knew in his heart that the reason why King Xuan was cold to himself before was because of Hua Qianruo.
He also grew up with Hua Tianruo, and has a close relationship, if Hua Tianruo hates himself, King Xuan will naturally stay away from him.
It's just that I didn't expect that by chance, I accidentally saved King Xuan's life, which made King Xuan look at him with admiration.
If at this time, he indulges Xia Rui to "vent" for himself, then the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law, which is finally eased, may be even more stiff than before.
On the other side, King Xuan reached out and took the red envelope, weighed it slightly, and couldn't help but be surprised:
"Sister-in-law, your red envelope is so big, can't it be that you put your dowry into it?"
When Yun Xiao heard this, he sneered: "Look at what you said, how can it be so exaggerated?" As long as you're happy! ”
King Xuan was very face-saving, and hurriedly said: "Of course I'm happy, thank my sister-in-law for a generous reward!" Hahahahahaha......haha
However, before he could put away the red envelope, over there, Xia Rui interjected indifferently: "You, keep this silver, when your nephew is born, you have to double it back, and you can't miss a penny!" ”
When King Xuan heard this, he immediately gave him a blank look, and said unceremoniously: "When the time comes, even if you want to give it, it is not for you, it is for my nephew, why are you in a hurry?!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yun Xiao again and asked,
"By the way, sister-in-law, listen to my second brother, you like to read very much?"
Speaking of this matter, Yun Xiao suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, he asked for a warrant from Xia Rui, and then asked his subordinates to go to the library in the palace to move books to the East Palace.
Since the emperor felt that it was inappropriate for her to enter and leave the library, then she could only do what the emperor said. I hope that in these scattered books, I can get a glimpse of more clues about my grandfather's case thirty years ago.
At this moment, Yun Xiao smiled slightly and replied: "Yes, when I lived in the mountains, I loved to read very much, and now that I have come down the mountain and married into the palace, I can't change this habit for a while." It's not the same as ordinary women who like to be female celebrities, which makes the prince smile! ”
"Sister-in-law is serious, how dare I laugh at you? Although everyone says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, I think reading is a very good thing. ”
King Xuan said calmly,
"To tell you the truth, my second brother also likes to read very much, and sometimes he will recite poems, which is quite a match for you! Father, the emperor's eyes, married you to my second brother, in the future, the two of you can chant poetry together, hahahahahahahaha......ha
At this moment, Xia Rui, who was on the side, interjected again: "Why is his mouth as sweet as honey now?" It won't be your sister-in-law's place, who has taken a fancy to something good, and is ready to go! ”
When King Xuan heard this, his face turned dark: "Second brother, I'm talking to my sister-in-law, and I haven't talked to you, can you not interject?!" Are you uncomfortable now that no one is talking to you? ”
"You ......"
At this moment, Gu An, Xia Rui's entourage, suddenly walked in and reported to him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, King De has been released from the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
King Xuan's eyes widened, he looked at Gu An, and asked, "Gu An, what's going on?" You make the specifics clear. ”
Gu An hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince's words, this morning, news came out from the prison of the Criminal Department, saying that the slaves who were detained on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner could not stand the punishment and told the truth. He said that he had always had a grudge against His Royal Highness the Prince, and that the paper money and charms were all prepared by him privately, and it was also his own idea to curse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Rou to reunite underground, not that King De instructed him to say so. That night, the reason why he said that was because he thought that as long as he pulled the king of De, he would be able to save his life, in fact, the king did not know anything, and the king was innocent, so this morning, the emperor ordered the execution of the slave, released the king from the prison of the criminal department, punished him for the crime of ineffective discipline of his subordinates, and ordered him to go back to the palace and think about it for two months, and not to take half a step out of the palace of the king of Germany. ”
It's unbelievable that things have taken such an incredible turn in just a few days.
King Xuan then asked, "Did my father really believe the words of that minion?" ”
Gu An pondered for a moment, and said with uncertainty: "This ...... The emperor should believe it, after all, he has already released King De. ”
When King Xuan heard this, he was very unhappy: "Who caused the poison in the yacon fruit, have you found out?" ”
(PS: Today's 3000-word update was delivered, I want to know what is going on, why did the emperor release King De, please lock tomorrow's update, at the same time tomorrow, we will see you and leave, love you~)
