Lu Qingrong and Zhao stepped forward one after the other.

The old lady asked, "What's wrong with you two?" Is something big happening in the DPRK and China? ”

"Grandmother, yesterday Shao promised to be strangled to death in the palace."

"What?"

How can a good person die suddenly?

"So far, I can't find out who did it, but all kinds of indications indicate that it may be the queen mother's mother, although the emperor didn't send someone to ask the queen mother, but most of them are already suspicious."

This Shao promised to be the biological mother of the fifth prince no matter what, and the emperor demoted her position, and locking her up was already the biggest punishment.

has never reached the point of asking for her life, and now Shao Yu was strangled to death in the palace, and everyone knew that this was for the queen and the prince.

Lu Qingrong pulled Nie Jingyang to sit down, "So the two of you look so bad, is it because the emperor treated the five princes favorably because of Shao's promised death, released him and reused him?" ”

"The lady's guess is not bad at all, the imperial court plans to build the embankment in the south first, and the household department has already prepared the silver taels, and has also found a craftsman who is good at building the embankment, and there is a lack of a chincha."

"Although the prince is involved in the government, after all, where is the physical condition, he looks fine on weekdays, but after all, he has been sick for more than ten years, so he naturally can't travel long distances, but such a big thing naturally needs a prince to be in charge."

"Originally, the emperor took a fancy to the fourth prince, but now Shao promised to die, and the emperor loved the fifth prince more, not only released him, but also handed over the construction of the embankment in the south to him."

The old lady asked at the right time: "Aren't there any objections from the courtiers?" ”

Xuan Guogong sighed, "If the courtiers raised objections, they were directly demoted by the emperor, and then Prime Minister Li Cheng also tried his best to promote this matter, and everyone saw that Prime Minister Li Cheng did not object, so they stopped talking, and the matter was settled." ”

This Li Xuewei is married to the fifth prince, and it is normal for Prime Minister Li Cheng to help the five princes.

It's just that Shao promised that it was so, which was unexpected.

The five princes were demoted one after another, and Lu Qingrong's hatred for the five princes was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

In the final analysis, the relationship between her and the five princes has not reached the point where they have to ask for each other's lives.

Now that the emperor has made an order, what's the use of worrying, anyway, it will take a while for the five princes to go to the south.

Maybe it's still too late.

Lu Qingrong looked at it, "There are so many people in the imperial court watching, if the five princes don't do a good job, they will be punished in the end, presumably this time the five princes will do their best, and when the time comes, the matter will be done, and the people will benefit." ”

"For the Dayu Dynasty, it's also good, what we should do has been done, as for how the emperor decides, it's the emperor's business, and there may be room for this matter to turn around."

The old lady nodded approvingly, "Qingrong is right, what you should do has been done, and the rest is the infighting between the crown prince and the fifth prince, which is not something that our Xuanguo Mansion can participate in." ”

"If you participate too much, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and it is more important to save the people from fire and water at the moment, if the five princes can successfully complete the construction of the embankment, it will also benefit the people, as for whether it will rob the prince of the merits, whether it will accumulate fame, that is a matter for the future."

Nie Jingyang glanced at Lu Qingrong worriedly, "But grandmother, this Shao promised to be subjected to such a thing has something to do with the lady, and the fifth prince is not a generous person, I am worried that the fifth prince will take revenge on the lady afterwards." ”

The old lady also looked at Lu Qingrong worriedly, this is indeed a thing that needs attention.

Contrary to what they thought, Lu Qingrong wanted to open it very much.

Whether the five princes can sit in that position is a matter of two words, anyway, with her there, she will not let the five princes ascend to that position, so she will not worry about the five princes.

However, grandmother meant not to let the people of the Xuanguo Mansion participate in the infighting of the royal family, and the matter of the five princes should not be told to them first.

Lu Qingrong changed the topic and said, "Grandmother, do you think?" This Shao promised something too strange, not sooner or later, just these days. The opportunity is too accurate. ”

"And as soon as Shao promised to die, everyone suspected that the queen mother did it, but the queen mother is not a fool after all, even if she hates Shao promised, how could she choose to do it at this time?"

Nie Jingyang echoed, "The queen mother should be able to imagine the consequences of this matter, if you look at it this way, this Shao promised is really strange." ”

"Could it be that this Shao promised to commit suicide?" Zhao added a mouthful.

"It's impossible, the imperial doctor has already examined it, and Shao promised to be strangled to death."

If a doctor said this, it might not be accurate, but so many doctors in the hospital said that Shao promised to be killed, so there is nothing suspicious about this matter.

"So who killed this? Shao promised that there were only two palace maids who served with her, and the palace maids were used to being used to people, so naturally they wouldn't do it, and others ...... Who can quietly enter Chunhui Palace? ”

"Only the queen and the emperor have this ability in this palace, could it be that the emperor did it? The emperor was angry with her because of what Shao promised, at that time Shao promised to be extremely ugly, his head was swollen like a pig's head, the emperor has always liked the new and hated the old, will the emperor feel that this Shao promised to be his shame, so he secretly killed him. ”

Zhao made a motion to wipe his neck.

For the first time, Lu Qingrong felt that Zhao's IQ was online, and her suspicion was very reasonable.

But she was suspicious of someone else.

Although the emperor's suspicion is big, the queen's suspicion is not small, but another person is also suspicious.

"Hugh is talking nonsense."

Zhao kept his mouth shut.

"Okay, let's eat, this matter is over, none of you can check this matter privately, you know?"

Everyone responded, and soon the attention of Xuan Guogong and Nie Jingyang was attracted by the roast goose, and they began to fight for each other, and almost fought on the table.

It was rare for the old lady not to stop the two, holding things in his heart, and it was okay to make a fuss.

After lunch, everyone was well fed.

Xuan Guogong was also very unceremonious, and asked Lu Qingrong to do it again tomorrow, and finally was pulled back to their yard by the Zhao family.

The old lady is going to take a nap.

Lu Qingrong and Nie Jingyang also returned to Yihexuan.

The two returned to the moment when the door was closed at the Summer Palace, and asked in unison.

"Who do you suspect?"

Such a tacit understanding made the two look at each other and smile, "The lady said first." ”

"In the past, I said it first, but this time I want to hear your thoughts, who do you suspect Shao promised's death related to?"
