Chapter 120: The Old Woman
Grandpa Lou's face remained unchanged, and he still had a smiling face that had not changed for ten thousand years: "Her Royal Highness the princess said this, the slave didn't understand it very well. ”
Changshu raised her eyebrows, "Does my father-in-law want the palace to ask my father in person?" ”
Grandpa Lou looked at her, the smile on his face gradually stiffened, and finally he couldn't laugh anymore, he was silent for a while, and sighed, "Your Highness, there is no secret in this matter, the deceased is gone, and today, why does Your Highness have to be obsessed with an answer?" ”
Changshu said: "I can't let the queen mother and the crown prince and brother be charged with trumped-up crimes, and let the people who hurt them go unpunished." ”
Lou's father-in-law was silent.
Father-in-law Lou, who climbed all the way to this position in the palace, always couldn't be as perfunctory as everyone else when facing this little princess, especially the queen treated him well, and he couldn't ignore this matter.
The queen has always been benevolent, no matter how much intrigue in the harem has not been able to leave a trace of haze on her heart, she has always been considerate of people, sometimes she may not pay attention to some small favors at all, but for those who are used to darkness at the bottom of the depths, this little favor is like light, which can be remembered for a lifetime.
For Lou Kuan, if it wasn't for the queen who pulled him back then, maybe there would be no grandpa Lou Gonggong, the great eunuch in the palace today.
Although he has the intention to rehabilitate the queen, this matter is too involved, and he must be cautious.
"The queen mother treated her father-in-law well." Changshu said: "The palace and the crown prince and brother also think that they have enough respect for their father-in-law, and this palace only needs one answer, and this answer should not be difficult for the father-in-law." ”
Grandpa Lou still shook his head.
Changshu raised her eyes to look at him, and suddenly chuckled: "To make my father-in-law so silent, the identity of the person behind the scenes should not be low, with Concubine Rong's ability and scheming, she should not have this ability." ”
Lou's father-in-law's face changed slightly, although there was only a slight change, but it was still keenly captured by Changshu.
"It seems that Concubine Rong was really used as a gun, so who is the person behind this? Is it someone else who wants to get rid of the queen mother, or is there someone else? ”
Lou's father-in-law didn't expect Changshu to be so keen, he didn't actually say anything until now, but Changshu's guess was already vaguely close to the truth.
He stood up, "Your Highness the Princess." ”
Changshu raised her eyes and said lightly: "If the father-in-law is in a hurry, it is the same for the palace to ask his father." ”
How dare Grandpa Lou really ask her to ask Emperor Xuan?
In the past few years, it has not involved the queen and the crown prince, this princess and the emperor can barely be filial piety to their father and son, but once it comes to the death of the queen, the two have almost no peace of mind, and they will quarrel at the end every time.
After Changshu came back from the border, he has settled down a lot these days, and he has never mentioned this matter, and he can be coquettish to the emperor without psychological obstacles, and occasionally shows a coquettish side that makes him almost think that this princess has let go of those things, but he doesn't want to wait for him here.
If the father and daughter make a fuss, they will not be angry with each other, and the unlucky ones are all their subordinates.
Moreover, Grandpa Lou always has a little partiality for this little princess, in his selfish heart, he doesn't want her to make trouble with the emperor like this, the emperor's favor is rare, if she is allowed to make such a fuss, the situation of Her Royal Highness the princess will become very difficult.
Grandpa Lou stiffened and sat down again.
The corners of Changshu's lips raised slightly, and she smiled with satisfaction: "Can my father-in-law tell me the answer now?" ”
Lou Gonggong sighed, still wanted to die and struggle: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this matter was indeed done by Concubine Rong, the eunuch who served by Niangniang's side accepted Concubine Rong's benefits, and was bribed by her to frame Niangniang, but he didn't expect that this was a trap for Niangniang, and he himself entered the game and became a person in the bureau." ”
Changshu said: "If this was said three years ago, maybe this palace would have believed it, but now...... This palace didn't believe that Concubine Rong would have such a careful mind. ”
Stimulated by her lightly, she couldn't hold back and wanted to kill her, Changshu believed that Concubine Rong was involved in this matter, but she didn't believe that she was the mastermind who single-handedly promoted this matter.
Grandpa Lou smiled bitterly: "Her Royal Highness the princess thinks, who in this harem has the ability to frame the mother of a country like this?" If you don't hate Niangniang very much, how can you use such despicable means to frame Niangniang? ”
"These days, Rong Niangniang has fallen out of favor, Concubine Niangniang has won the favor of the harem, and the slave heard that the Queen Mother wants her niece to enter the palace."
Changshu's face sank.
Grandpa Lou glanced at her face and sighed, "...... The harem can not be without an owner for a day, no matter how deep the emperor's affection for Niangniang is, it is enough to vacate the throne for three years, and some adults in the previous dynasty have been proposing to let the emperor choose another woman to become the successor of my Yin Dynasty. ”
"The Queen Mother's ......"
Changshu's face was as cold as a layer of ice, and some things that she had ignored in the past also surfaced at this time, and those things that she couldn't understand were finally able to figure it out.
This old woman has always looked at her mother unpleasantly.
In the past, when her mother was still alive, she had been changing her way to toss her mother, and she was seriously ill in the morning and dusk, and she seized the opportunity to grind her mother, and Changshu partnered with the prince to pit her several times when she was young, so that Emperor Xuan and her gradually separated, and she slowly settled down.
This queen mother's temperament is particularly strong, at the beginning of Emperor Xuan's accession to the throne, her relatives Cao's family was powerful, and she protected Emperor Xuan to sit on the throne, but ambition and power are such things, everyone has them, everyone wants them, Emperor Xuan wants to be in power, and there are natural irreconcilable contradictions between him and these powerful relatives.
At the beginning, the crown prince seized this point, while suppressing the Cao family, and on the other hand, provoking the ambitions of the Cao family and their dissatisfaction with Emperor Xuan, such dissatisfaction fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and unconsciously let her and Emperor Xuan slowly separate, and this kind of life became more and more obvious after Changshu became clear.
No emperor likes powerful courtiers, neither Emperor Xuan nor the crown prince wants to see the scene of the Cao family and the queen mother colluding to stretch out their hands to the government, and they already have the intention of suppressing the Cao family, and this kind of thinking reached its peak after a concubine of the Cao family pushed Princess Chenhuan, the pearl of the emperor's palm, down the steps.
After that, the relationship between Emperor Xuan and the Cao family became extremely tense, after all, in Emperor Xuan's opinion, the daughters of his Cao family dared to do something to the princess in the palace, who knows if the Cao family will also attack him one day, and Emperor Xuan's attitude towards the queen mother of the Cao family is also much colder.
The queen mother didn't wait to see the queen and the queen's children, but Emperor Xuan was already dissatisfied with her, and she couldn't continue to rely on her identity as an elder to embarrass them.
After Emperor Xuan took power completely, the Queen Mother retired to Ci'an Palace to recuperate, and after so many years, Changshu almost forgot her former methods.
Changshu stood up suddenly, with a gloomy expression on her cold face.
When Grandpa Lou saw her like this, his heart jumped to his throat: "Your Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Changshu grimaced, and in his frightened gaze, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I don't know anything today." ”
