For Tao Fanglin, it is really not a big surprise for the prince of Zhou, because in the previous life she experienced, the king of Zhou was also made the prince of the East Palace when Jiangnan had the power to suppress the king of Linzi and the king of Qin. However, Tao Fanglin didn't come to Nanjing with her, so she didn't know how many twists and turns King Zhou and Lan Ting Jiangnan had gone through, at that time she was all about how to eradicate Pan Gu, and while hating Lan Ting, she was anxious about how to keep the status of the granddaughter-in-law of the head of the Taishi Mansion, and she didn't pay attention to political affairs at all.
Even Yuan Ji was killed, Qian Baipo and other officials were convicted, and she didn't pay attention to any of these major events in the court.
In her opinion, it is a matter of course for the king of Zhou to become the prince, which is fate, but it is slightly different from the previous life, this time because she came to Nanjing, there is always a credit for helping the prince.
In short, Tao Fanglin didn't feel sudden, but he was excited.
is especially complacent, and even thinks that when she gives birth smoothly, if she can get a man in one fell swoop, she will naturally be able to get the luck of Gu Cairen in the previous life, and the prince will also ask her to be given the rank of a lady.
How did I know that I was setting off for Beijing on this day, but there was a bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day that directly smashed on Tao Fanglin's heavenly spirit cover.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Did His Highness really say that he wouldn't let me go back to Beijing? Tao Fanglin was incredulous, grabbing Shujuan, who rushed to report the news, and kept asking.
Shujuan also hesitated, thinking that this matter should still be informed to Tao Cairen, she concealed that the prince of Tao Cairen had already suspected her was already a disturbed conscience, if she even concealed this important matter...... It's not much different from the backer.
"Your Highness is indeed like this, so that the slaves and maids ...... Responsible for packing up and preparing to set off, leaving only a few reliable servants and maids, staying in the Wu Palace to take care of talents. โ
Where can Tao Fanglin sit? At this time, she didn't care about exposing Shujuan as the person who reported the news, so she was busy and went to the prince to question, but of course her attitude couldn't be tough, and she mainly cried: "The concubine doesn't know what mistakes she has made, so that she angers His Royal Highness, and she doesn't allow the concubine to return to Beijing with His Royal Highness, and wants to abandon the concubine in Nanjing. โ
King Zhou frowned impatiently: "You are pregnant now, you can't stand the fatigue of traveling, this palace is for the sake of you and the fetus in the womb, so I plan to leave you in the palace of Wu for the time being, and wait for you to give birth safely in the future, and then take you back to Beijing." โ
Where is Tao Fanglin willing?
It takes ten months to conceive a baby, and at least she has to wait until the confinement is over to leave, so long, separated from the prince in the north and south, what if the prince completely leaves her behind? Not to mention that now that King Zhou has been crowned, Gu Chungui will definitely not use the means of wanting to capture the prince to push the prince out, if she is not in the East Palace, no one will stop the Gu family, if the Gu family succeeds, it will be a big deal!
And the prince only thought that after gaining the prince, he would be able to ascend to the top ninety-five, but unexpectedly, there were conspiracies and tricks waiting for him, which would cause him to fail!
Only she can stop the next conspiracy and prevent the prince from being affected by Gu Chungui's red face again.
She must return to Beijing with the crown prince!
"Your Royal Highness, compared to the tiring travel, the concubine is more afraid of being alone in this palace of King Wu, she will definitely be restless day and night, how can she be suitable for peace? Although His Royal Highness was in a hurry to return to the capital because of the order, the concubine did not dare to drag down His Highness's itinerary, and could go separately from His Royal Highness
, you will not be burdened by bumps, and I hope that His Royal Highness will give you permission. โ
The prince also expected that Tao Fanglin would not want to stay alone in Nanjing, otherwise he really planned to "forget" this woman in the palace of King Wu like this, so as to save her from making waves in the future, but since Tao Fanglin was determined to return to the capital, even if he didn't allow it, this woman would definitely fulfill her wish through the Empress Dowager Shengci - the prince knew very well that although he entered the East Palace, it was uncertain whether he could sit firmly on the throne, and the Empress Dowager Shengci was the biological mother of her father after all, and his own grandmother, since ancient times, the royal family has pursued the rule of filial piety. If the Empress Dowager Shengci asked him to take back the Tao family, he could not disobey.
And he never thought that he could really abandon the Tao family in the Wu Palace.
"Well, if you insist on doing so, I will do as you please."
Since the prince was relieved, Tao Fanglin was finally relieved.
But then something happened that shocked Tao Fanglin.
The prince didn't let Shujuan go with her, but instead transferred Adan to follow him temporarily, which made Tao Fanglin extremely uneasy.
Could it be that she actually looked away? Shujuan's ordinary complexion can win the prince's favor?! No, this is absolutely impossible, if the prince really doesn't value women, how can he still refuse to give up in this life, knowing that Gu Chungui has married Zhao Lanting, and even would rather be for her and take on the blame of virtue in the world! Then there is only one possibility, maybe Shujuan told the prince about her secrets, so that the prince could "trust the favor" like this?
Thinking of this, Tao Fanglin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It's okay to do anything else, I'm afraid that Shujuan will tell the prince that she has tried to harm the Gu family, is it because the prince is already suspicious of her that he plans to abandon her to the Wu Palace?
The more he speculated in this regard, the more restless Tao Fanglin became.
Although the crown prince still changed his mind in the end, perhaps because he still had scruples about the Empress Dowager Shengci, he did not insist on her crying because of her struggle.
It's that she believes in Shujuan too much!
That life Shujuan was indeed loyal to her, but how could the situation in that life be the same as now? In that life, Zhao Lanting had never looked at Shujuan at all, she was Shujuan's only reliance, but in this life, she personally sent Shujuan to the prince's bed!
Because of this, the little hoof had ambitions, thinking that without her support, he could win glory and wealth on his own, and even betrayed her, stepping on her to take her place......
The more Tao Fanglin thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
So it became natural to get close to Adam and try to find out the truth from Adam's mouth.
"I really didn't expect that the working girl would take care of me, I thought that His Royal Highness would let Shujuan walk with me, after all, Shujuan is my old servant, but the girl used to be the person who got face in front of the Empress Dowager Shengde, in the eyes of His Highness, the girl's status is far from me and Shujuan can be compared, I didn't expect Shujuan to be so lucky, just served His Highness for a while, and was able to win His Highness's attention so much."
Adan was still silent: "The slave maid's cooking skills are quite passable, so His Royal Highness asked the slave maid to take care of the talented person temporarily." โ
Tao Fanglin had no choice but to say more obviously: "This time I came to Nanjing with His Royal Highness, because of the sudden inconvenience, without the permission of the crown princess, I arranged for Shujuan to serve His Royal Highness, although I did not intend to trespass, there is really a last resort, but these days I am still uneasy, worried that I will be blamed by the crown princess when I return to the capital in the future, the girl is His Royal Highness's son, and I will give me a good word, what is His Royal Highness's arrangement for Shujuan, and I will be able to deal with it when the princess asks me in the future." โ
"His Royal Highness values the silk girl because of her stable temperament and meticulous duty, and it is also the character that the crown princess values, so you can rest assured that the crown princess will not complain about it."
Adan didn't say a word about Shujuan, but it made Tao Fanglin more and more uneasy.
Of course, she knew that Adan was the prince's confidant, if Shujuan really betrayed her, how could Adan reveal the truth? However, since Adan said that the prince attaches great importance to Shujuan, this should be true, because the prince did not hide his importance to Shujuan, but how can Shujuan be valued by the prince?
Don't take it lightly anymore! Tao Fanglin secretly made up his mind.
Shujuan is already a useless person to her, and it is better to ...... than to raise a tiger for trouble
But no matter how jealous Tao Fanglin is of such a hidden danger as Shujuan, and now she is beyond the reach of the whip, so she has to secretly plan how to cut the grass and eradicate the roots without revealing a trace, but befriending Adan is a beneficial and harmless thing, so on the way from Nanjing to the capital, Tao Fanglin is conscientiously enveloping Adan, and finally one day, he found clues from Adan's words.
"Although Juan Niang is good, I don't know the size of His Highness, so His Highness's clothes, shoes and socks still have to be cut by Wuqi.
That's a lot of fun!!
Tao Fanglin knows Shujuan quite well, she has a talent that is to chisel female red, and when she was in the Wu Palace, she once mentioned that it was because of the shoes and socks she made that the prince was very good, and finally won a little favor from the prince, and transferred her from Ji Ze Courtyard to serve in the main courtyard, but according to Adan, Shujuan didn't know the size of the prince at all!
What does this mean? It shows that Shujuan told a lie.
She may not have been favored by the prince at all, otherwise how could she not even know the size of the prince? But the prince pretended to be favorable......
Shujuan will inevitably become the prince's confidant through other means.
However, Adan is also the prince's confidant, but he did not strictly guard against her, which shows that although Shujuan has no intentions, it should not be good for her to tell the truth.
Yes, although she once secretly harmed Gu Chungui, the person who connected with Concubine Hui's confidant eunuch was Shujuan, Shujuan knew that the prince valued Gu Chungui, and if she revealed this matter, she would set herself on fire first.
So what means did Shujuan use to surrender to the prince?
Tao Fanglin couldn't solve this mystery even after racking her brains, but through Adan's attitude, what made her feel a little relieved was that Shujuan did not betray her, and also, if Shujuan really had hidden evil intentions for her, she would not have reported to her that the prince intended to leave her in the palace of King Wu.
But Shujuan deceived her after all, and Tao Fanglin still thought that his former henchmen had become a big disaster at this time.
You have to strike first.
said that the spring return, she, Lan Ting, Lan Xin and his party accompanied the two aunts to Fenyang together, although they did not travel as fast as the prince, and there was no too much delay on the way, and the spring return came back to Fenyang, in addition to assisting the uncle's family to treat the funeral, there were other purposes.
It was Pan Cungu, who once reminded his grandfather to beware of rape and framing because his grandfather advocated the reform of mining affairs, and his grandfather encountered an unforeseen disaster precisely because he wanted to come to Fenyang to persuade Pan Cungu to tell him who the "traitor" was, and Pan Cungu must be the key person in the mining case.
But his grandfather had already been killed, and in order to protect the safety of his aunt and cousin, Chun Gui would certainly not approve of Li Mu's repeated suggestion that he secretly contact Pan Cungu.
Lan Ting also disagreed.
On this night, when they arrived at the Fenyang residence, there was an argument between the three.
