Chapter 630: A Dark Hand
It seems that the entire court is calm.
The crown prince An An stayed in the East Palace, while the Queen Mother was busy preparing for the marriage of Princess Mingzhu and preparing the dowry.
Everything is calm, but anyone who cares can feel the turbulent undercurrent.
In the East Palace, the crown princess and Yu Wu are doing needlework together. I have nothing to do, but to spend my time on these trivial things.
It's just that I don't know why, recently Yu Wu has been absent-minded and has been poked by needles on his fingers several times.
"Sister Yu, do you have something on your mind?"
Yu Wu pursed her lips and said with a forced smile: "I don't have anything on my mind, but I see that this backyard is empty, and I'm worried that it won't be long before the emperor will issue an order for the newcomer." ”
"Even if my father wants to give a new person to come, it should be, and no one will use us."
It's not that the crown princess doesn't care, it's that she can't care, all the pressure of public opinion is on her. In any case, the prince has no heirs, and he is the incompetence of the crown princess.
When the crown princess looked at Yu Wu, she was still distracted frequently, and said with a smile: "This is also no way, whoever makes our people, the prince can't look down on it." Only those given by the father will be accepted by the crown prince. ”
Yu Wu put down the needle and thread in his hand and looked at the princess with a self-deprecating face. Countless words poured out of my mouth, but I couldn't say them.
She wanted to tell the crown princess that these were not their fault, but that the prince did not give them a chance to give birth to an heir.
But these words can only rot in the stomach forever.
She believes that as long as she speaks, not only will she die of illness, but even the crown princess will not be well.
The Ye Shuang, who was accidentally hit and pregnant, was mistaken for a fake pregnancy and had a live fetus, is a lesson from the past. The prince can't even accommodate a pregnant concubine, let alone them.
"Crown Princess, in fact, we don't have to be too anxious. Maybe after Princess Mingzhu gets married, there will be good news in our house soon. ”
This is also the reason why Yu Wu has always chosen not to say anything.
She hoped that after Princess Mingzhu got married, the prince would be able to let go of these things.
At that time, when it comes to love, there is still a little guilt of the prince towards them. No matter how many women the emperor rewards, they can be invincible.
And in the whole capital, when they were looking forward to Princess Mingzhu's wedding, no one noticed that a rumor began to circulate in the capital.
said that the prince's concubine Ye Shuang was pregnant with the prince's heir, but because the princess was jealous, she was wronged for fake pregnancy. So much so that the fetus was forcibly knocked out.
Of course, the so-called rumors are often the last to know, and it is the person concerned.
Therefore, when the princess's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, came to the door and talked about it tactfully, Zhang Dandan was furious.
"Sister-in-law, how is this possible, yes! Ye Shuang fainted at my place at the beginning, and then I asked the imperial doctor to come and see him. But the three doctors before and after all said that it was a fake pregnancy, not a real pregnancy, how could it be said that it was my hands and feet? ”
Mrs. Zhang also looked anxious and scolded angrily: "The biggest problem now is that Imperial Doctor Zhou is dead. He was the one who handled it, and now he died unexpectedly, just a basin of dirty water that can't be washed. ”
"This is really ridiculous, Imperial Doctor Zhou is the prince's henchman."
The crown princess is a little anxious, she is the crown princess, and she is the queen who will be the mother of the world in the future, and she can't have a little stigma on her.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the crown princess with a sluggish face, but she had no way to defend herself, and she was very anxious.
"Crown Princess, do you have to think about it, how to deal with this matter? This one is not good, if it reaches the ears of the emperor and the queen mother, it will be troublesome. ”
When the crown princess and Mrs. Zhang didn't think of countermeasures, Yu Wu also hurried over.
The Yu family also heard the rumors, and the Yu family got more comprehensive information. even knew that the crown princess later summoned Imperial Doctor Zhou alone, for the prescription of the tonic.
"The crown princess, the person who spread the rumors, just wants to throw us to the crown princess for the fact that we have not had children. said that it was the princess's hand, did the princess offend anyone recently? Or does the Zhang family have any enemies? ”
Yu Wu's news was a thunderbolt for the crown princess. If this crime is implemented, even if she is the crown princess, she will not be able to bear it.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she denied it: "The Zhang family has always been at the border, and there is no enemy in the capital at all." Isn't it, which lady in the backyard wants to pull the princess off the horse? ”
Having said this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but set her eyes on Yu Wu.
This Yu Wu is in the East Palace, her status is second only to the crown princess, and she has superb means, and she was born into a family, if she has two hearts, it is still possible to plan this matter.
Yu Wu met the visiting gaze of Mrs. Zhang and sighed: "The crown princess believes me, I will never do such a thing." Let's not talk about whether it is possible to be corrected as a side concubine, even if I do this, what is the benefit? ”
The crown princess stretched out her hand, held Yu Wu's hand, and said in a low voice: "I believe in you, not your hand, nor me." ”
Yu Wu's heart trembled, of course this was not his own hand, let alone the hand of the crown princess. The real person behind the scenes is the crown prince, but she doesn't dare to say it anyway.
"As long as the crown princess believes in the concubine, the top priority at the moment is to suppress this rumor."
But once the rumors arose, under the control of people with intentions, they soon became known. The woman in the East Palace, although she knew it at the latest, still knew it to everyone.
Ye Shuang dropped the tea set on the table, holding on to the table and panting.
She knew that she was really pregnant, and she had the opportunity to give birth to the prince's eldest son. But all of this was because of the jealousy of the crown princess, so she bought Imperial Doctor Zhou to deceive herself.
"Yun'er, go and see where the prince is, I'm going to see the prince and ask the prince to make the decision for me!"
When Yun'er first heard the news, she was also so angry that she was about to go crazy. No wonder Mrs. Ye was more red at that time, she raised objections, but Imperial Doctor Zhou said that it was because of the dredging of the meridians and medicine.
"Madam, don't worry, I'm going to ask to see the prince! You must tell the prince about this matter, and ask the prince to give justice to his wife. ”
At about the same time, Yan Rongling, who was in the study of the East Palace, also learned about the rumors outside.
Yan Rongling's eyebrows frowned slightly, where did this rumor come from?
If this person really knows the entanglement of this matter, then he will know that the person behind the scenes is himself, not the crown princess.
If this person didn't know about the entanglement of this matter, then how could he know the ins and outs and know so clearly.
"Come on, immediately seal Imperial Doctor Liao and Imperial Doctor Wang, and let them die without proof!"
Yan Rongling's biggest concern was not rumors, but the emperor and the queen mother. If the emperor knew the news, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, but he wouldn't be able to cover it.
