Chapter 103 Tricking the Old Lady
The person she was implying in her words was obviously Xiang Ye.
After all, these few incidents are "coincidentally" related to Xiang Yeqi, in addition to the identity of the victim, she Xiang Yeqi only has the identity of the self-directed and self-acting mastermind?
However, Xiang Yeqi didn't need to speak at all, so the old lady Xiang was in front of her to cut through the thorns: "The courtiers have all the evidence, don't ask Your Majesty to make a decision immediately, just ask Your Majesty to act impartially!" The drum of injustice has sounded, whether this matter is the so-called rumor of the concubine Niangniang, or the crime of the courtiers is unforgivable and wronged the rumor concubine, before the matter is clarified, His Majesty should detain the rumor concubine! ”
"This ......"
The old emperor glanced at the rumor concubine in his arms affectionately, how could he be willing.
"Your Majesty, don't let the important ministers of the court chill their hearts and let the people be disappointed in you!"
Estimated by generation, the old lady is still a generation older than the emperor, although the monarch and the minister are different, but in the end, it is the family of the former important minister, the old emperor really wants to favor the concubine, and he should also consider the identity of the other party.
Seeing that the old emperor hesitated, Xiang Xiang wantonly suppressed it: "It is naturally okay for the courtiers to be wronged alone, but if Your Majesty refuses to express her position, the courtiers will have to touch the pillar and swallow everything in their stomachs." ”
What a threat.
Xiang Yeqi has never seen such an excellent "performance", and it seems that tonight's acting award will be awarded to Mrs. Xiang in the end.
Thinking of this, she applauded the old lady in her heart.
"Y-You're not threatening me?"
The old emperor obviously couldn't sit still, and it was not difficult to suppress this matter, but if the old lady really chose to touch the pillar with his heart, then his imperial authority would probably be a complete joke.
"That's it, that's it, you get up! Someone is coming, take the concubine down first...... On another day, I will interrogate it myself! The emperor's heart was crossed, and he squeezed this sentence out of his teeth.
Concubine Yu also didn't expect that this song would have such great majesty, so that the old emperor could ruthlessly escort himself to the prison, and before the guards escorted the concubine, the old emperor also sighed and persuaded her to be relieved: "Don't worry, concubine, I will clear up your grievances for you, and I won't let you suffer any grievances!" ”
Old Madam Xiang didn't care how sincere the old emperor was for Concubine Ru, so she hurriedly took away her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, looking like she wanted to show off her victory with others.
However, the old lady Xiang just quietly pulled Xiang Yeqi and pleaded in a low voice: "What grandmother promised you, you will definitely do it, wait for tomorrow, you must invite Imperial Doctor Shen here, and then give grandmother a good look!" ”
What she cares about is whether she is wronged or not, what she cares about is her own life and death.
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the palace gate, Xiang Yeqi pulled Bo Zhaoxu into the corner under the moonlight, and there was no one around, but he was extremely nervous.
Bo Zhaoxu raised his eyebrows knowingly, leaned over and teased: "This king didn't know that you still had such interest." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiang Yeqi patted Bo Zhaoxu unceremoniously.
"Tonight is a great place to look for evidence......"
It is true that the old emperor favored Concubine Ru, but I don't know if it was because the old emperor didn't want to be too extravagant, or because Concubine Rue felt that she was too popular and deliberately concealed it.
It is even more impossible to guard against people with ulterior motives like Xiang Yeqi and Bo Zhaoxu.
Xiang Yeqi cautiously signaled Bo Zhaoxu to silence, and he began to rummage through all kinds of suspicious places, from the bed to the dresser.
"Found it."
She whispered.
The moment he opened the small box to Yeqi, he fulfilled his guess, and what the old emperor couldn't part with was not the rumor concubine at all, but the things that the rumor concubine had hidden.
"It's ......"
Bo Zhaoxu picked up a small black ball, like a fruit that had been dried for a long time.
"Poppy."
He replied with Xiang Yeqi.
Stained with this thing, in fact, there is no difference from being addicted to drugs, but Huaguo does not smoke opium poppies from time to time, and most of this thing is used in medicinal materials.
"It's also hard for her to think of using this kind of thing to contain Your Majesty, which is much faster than directly poisoning."
Xiang Yeqi sighed casually, heard the footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly pulled Bo Zhaoxu to hide behind the bed together, until the palace man with the lantern walked away, and the two slipped out of the palace by night.
Although the matter of Concubine Rumor is still in the investigation stage, and the old emperor also vaguely said that "Xu is wronged", but for others, Concubine Rumor has already fallen, and it is difficult to turn over.
Xiang The old lady saw that Xiang Yeqi never mentioned the matter of looking for a doctor to see her, and she was sick for a while, and her body and bones were day by day.
As soon as Xiang Yeqi heard that Xiang Lao Lady was coming, he knew that this person was going to play the emotional card.
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Xiang saw Xiang Yeqi, she burst into tears, and took someone's hand to explain her "last words": "If grandmother leaves, this huge Xiang Mansion doesn't know what to do...... If your cousins come to trouble, you can discipline them for your grandmother! What I promised to give you a few days ago, my grandmother brought you today! ”
There really is such a stubble.
Xiang Yeqi was just a little curious about what the old lady would give him, and glanced at it roughly, almost thinking that he was dreaming......
Good fellow, how much is this old lady holding onto!
"This is your mother's dowry when she got married, I saw that she was a woman's family, and it was not easy to hold it, so I took care of it for her, this tube, but it has been nearly 20 years! If it weren't for your mother's trouble, these title deeds would have been the property of the Xiang family a long time ago, so why bother making so much trouble now......"
Speaking of this, Xiang Lao Madam sneered contemptuously, as if she was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.
Xiang Yeqi said in her heart that this old lady of the Xiang family is really a surprising double standard, the mother of the original owner is the woman in her mouth, isn't she herself? I'm afraid that I saw the benefits, and I was reluctant to let go of the fat in my mouth, and now that my life is at stake, I have to hand it over.
"And what does grandmother mean by that?"
Xiang Yeqian gave the old lady some eye medicine and asked knowingly.
It's just because these seemingly innocuous topics involve his own life that he can't face the old woman to Xiang Yeqi for a lifetime, and he is still very polite.
She reluctantly took her hand back, as if she had done a loss-making business.
"Two years ago, you came to me to ask for it, I thought that you were not in time, so you put it on hold, and now you also understand these feeding techniques, these ...... of these properties left by your mother" Xiang Old Lady felt that the remaining words were very tongue-twisting, "Now I will return it to you to take care of yourself." ”
Xiang Yeqi never expected that he could really be a blessing in disguise, and turned over on the spot to become a "rich woman in the capital" who owned several industries.
Comfortable.
But......
"These businesses shouldn't be very profitable, right?"
Xiang Yeqi was also suddenly sober, not to mention that the old lady was reluctant to hand over these things to herself, if these industries could really make a lot of money, Xiang Mansion would not be decadent to this point because of the loss of the pillars.
"Do you make money? I really don't know. Old Madam Xiang didn't hide it from Xiang Yeqi, "These businesses have always been handed over to those children in the house to take care of, and there were a lot of industries in the early years of Xiangfu, how could anyone have the leisure to manage so many printing shops?" In the end, it is something that does not make money. ”
It can be seen from the attitude of the old lady Xiang to the night that she does not care about the property in the hands of her daughter-in-law, although it is profitable, but in the end, it is not enough to distract her. She prefers to make some quick money, such as those restaurants that make money very quickly.
However, these Printing Workshop Bookstores are extremely cost-effective for Xiang Yeqi, and they are inherited without spending any money, which is really cost-effective.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yeyan decided not to tease the old lady Xiang anymore: "I see, then I thank my grandmother, in fact, Imperial Doctor Sun has been here in the past few days, but because the case of Concubine Niangniang is still under investigation, it is not good to go to the house to see you in person, so I put the medicine in the Four Princes' Mansion, I originally wanted to send it to you, but I forgot it!" ”
Xiang Yeqi casually copied a small bag of oiled paper next to him and stuffed it into the arms of Old Lady Xiang: "Come, you take it back and eat it first!" Doctor Shen said, although your poison is not deep, but in the end it is still a poison that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, so you have to slowly recuperate, this is the first course of treatment, eat two pieces at a meal, and the next course of treatment has to be the right medicine! ”
"Good, good!"
Xiang Lao Lady wiped her tears excitedly, there was really a touching scene of deep love between ancestors and grandchildren, the only thing that was a little incompatible with this atmosphere was Xiang Yeqi, who did not feel "uneasy conscience" at all, and it was very natural for Xiang Lao Lady to pit each other.
got the life-saving medicine that she had been thinking about for a long time, and the old lady Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the new maid next to her wanted to take the medicine bag, but the old lady refused to give it, so she had to wrap her heart in person to be sure.
After the old lady left happily, Nan Chen asked with some hesitation: "Princess, Imperial Doctor Shen has not been to the mansion in the past few days, are you mistaken?" I'm afraid that there will be a problem with the old lady's food, and I will have to add trouble. ”
"She naturally knows that Imperial Doctor Shen has been here in the past few days."
Bo Zhaoxu leaned lazily against the door frame as if celebrating the scene of the deception that he had caught the night night: "That's the hawthorn cake she bought in the morning to eat." ”
"You're ripping my bottom again!"
Xiang Yeqi pounced on Bo Zhaoxu angrily, originally to ask Xingshi to ask for a "murderous appearance" of life and death, but before others could see some victories and defeats, Xiang Yeqi changed a flattering smile: "Is it okay to borrow me some people to use it?" If you want that kind of fierce, it's not easy to mess with at first glance! ”
Old Madam Xiang can let these things out so casually, which shows that the surplus of these printing workshops is not optimistic.
However, the scale of several bookstores and printing workshops left by the original owner's mother is not small, and the income should be very optimistic, at least it is not difficult to support a Xiangfu.
