"Minglu! We are all mothers, you make such a heavy oath, how can I be embarrassed? ”

Zichu didn't wait for her to finish, he immediately reached out to cover her mouth, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and some doubts in each other's hearts were solved.

Zichu made up his mind, and then said to Ye He Minglu: "Minglu, let me tell you the truth, this time I returned to Beijing, from the moment I stepped into the palace, I felt a little strange. It's as if someone has been watching me in the dark, trying to take my life. Now that suspicion has been confirmed, it seems that it is true. ”

Ye He Minglu nodded and said, "Well, I also think this matter is very strange, revealing a strange feeling. Coupled with the incident in the Sheng Mansion before, and you said that Song Shi'an may not be in the capital for the past two years, these things are connected in series, like a line, interlocking, it seems that the other party has been arranging for a long time before slowly spreading the net. And what he wants to calculate must be more than your life, if you don't do it, it will be the life and death of all of us. ”

Zichu also bowed, but then she smiled slightly and said, "You said well, but there is a person who has been ignored by you." I think, perhaps, she is an important character! I just don't know, in the end, is she the mastermind, or a pawn in the hands of others? ”

Ye Heminglu thought for a moment, then understood, and said, "What do you mean, Empress Zhang and the Zhang family will definitely participate in it?" ”

"Or what do you think? Let's go hunting after we return to Beijing, the emperor asked you to poison Empress Zhang, but because you don't like Jiang Concubine, you want to avenge me, so the two of you did it together. But now, it is said that Concubine Jiang's face is completely ruined, and there is no news from the queen. If it weren't for the fact that there was already a method of detoxification, you said that Queen Zhang could really face the fact that her face was completely ruined so calmly? Besides, now that she is justifiably recuperating in the Taimiao, no matter what happens in the harem, she can push it all away. But the Taimiao is not far from the harem, and it is very convenient to exchange news. Such a position makes it difficult for the world to associate with her. At that time, you and I will be involved in the murder of the Queen Mother, and there will be many twists and turns even if you don't die. But she was able to get out of the house, and after she recovered from her illness, she returned to the palace and continued to be her queen. In addition to the thorns in the eyes of the two of us, the brothers Jun Yucheng and Jun Yuchen, who were provoked, turned against each other. At that time, the emperor will naturally rely on the Zhang family, who has assisted in ascending the throne, you say, who else can threaten her queen's position? ”

Ye He Minglu listened to Zichu's explanation of the cause and effect before and after, and he couldn't help but be silent for a while. Indeed, from the time a person like Zhang appeared in front of everyone, her consistent image was gentle and wise, dignified and atmospheric. She has a very obvious aura of an aristocratic woman, and the maiden family behind her, Zhangfu, is one of the best poems and books in this dynasty. Her father is the elder of the two dynasties and the leader of the Qingliu party. He was once regarded as a close friend by the Emperor Taishang and a minister of the humerus.

Her two elder brothers are the pillars of the court, the eldest brother has also been in the Tanhua, and most of the sisters in the family have also married into the famous families of important ministers, it can be said that in addition to the false name of the dukedom of the country, the power of the Zhang Mansion is actually intertwined and extremely stable in the capital. It is precisely because of this that the Emperor Taishang ignored everyone's discussion and insisted that Jun Yuxuan marry the Zhang family as the princess.

And since Empress Zhang became the queen, she has always been unfazed and calm. The root cause is that she is well aware of her advantages, and the idle concubines in the harem can't shake her at all. And Zichu, whom Jun Yuxuan loves, has already married Jun Yuchen as a princess, and as for Shangguan Wansu, a strong enemy who affects her status, she also died under her ingenious layout.

As he expected, after Shangguan Wansu's death, the emperor did not hold Zhang Fu responsible, but covered up the truth, because she expected that Jun Yusulfone would not ignore his own throne because of a Shangguan Wansu, and easily shake the balance that the court had managed so hard. Therefore, this person can be said to be careful and bold, and he has good means, and the city is very deep! It's not easy to deal with.

But now, she has calculated on her head, can Zichu continue to turn a blind eye to her? Obviously, no.

However, even if Empress Zhang was involved in the planning of this matter, Zichu still can't be sure what her status is in the bureau. Therefore, when Ye He Minglu proposed to send someone to test Empress Zhang, she shook her head and stopped: "Don't, let's not startle the snake now, because I always feel that although Empress Zhang is shrewd, if this matter is all her personal plan, I still have some doubts." ”

"Then you mean .......".

Zichu faced Ye Heming's puzzled eyes, just smiled slightly, and said, "I don't mean anything, but I still don't know all the ways of the other party." In this way, let's go to the Song Mansion first, and after paying homage to my mother, you will accompany me to meet my father who is pure filial piety for a while. ”

Listening to her words, there was obvious ridicule, and Ye He Minglu also understood that Zichu was very disdainful of Song Shi'an's character. She also learned about the strange death of the Helian clan, and immediately thought in her heart that after going to the Song Mansion, she must pay attention to inquire about the truth about the death of the Helian clan. Maybe there will be unexpected help for the puzzle in front of you.

When he arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion, someone knocked on the door of the Song Mansion with the identity of the envoy in the palace. The little maid guarding the door heard that the eldest lady who had married out came back to visit her relatives, and brought the princess and the county lord together, and she was frightened at the moment, and heard that there was also an inner servant sent by the emperor, who came with a reward and the emperor's will, and hurriedly rushed in to ask Song Shi'an to come out to receive the decree.

Zichu and Ye He Minglu took Ning Huan to stop at the gate of the Song Mansion for a while, looking at this mansion gate, she said with great emotion: "Minglu, I will never forget the days when I was here. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity in this life, to be able to stand here with dignity, waiting for him to come out to greet him. ”

Ye Heming nodded clearly and comforted: "Don't be sad, the so-called good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's not that you don't report it, it's just that the time has not come." If he really harmed his original wife, I don't think even Heaven would easily forgive him for his crimes. ”

Zichu nodded, took a deep breath, and stood there dignified and dignified. After a while, I saw Song Shi'an dressed in green clothes, surrounded by servants and hurriedly walked out, she sneered in her heart, in front of people, but greeted her, and said, "I've seen my father!" The emperor heard that my father had been doing his duty as a filial son in the past two years, and he was strict in his filial piety, so he specially ordered me to come to visit the family and bring some rewards, and asked my father to experience the emperor's good intentions. “

After speaking, he motioned to Liu Chan behind him to carry the reward. Because it is a gift from the emperor, it is covered with bright yellow brocade, seeing this, Song Shi'an naturally had to quickly lift his robe and kneel, and said: "Thank you Emperor Hongen!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Seeing this, the rest of the subordinates of the Song Mansion also knelt down together, and after thanking them, Liu Chan said in a long voice: "Lord Song, please get up!" ”

Seeing Song Shi'an get up, Ye He Minglu walked out again, stood in front of Zichu, and said: "Lord Song, it's better to meet after hearing about it for a long time, this palace has long heard of your prestige, but you can only see it today, it seems that it is really a person who is as famous as his name!" ”

As soon as she said this, Liu Chan understood, and immediately said: "Lord Song, this is Princess Jinzhi, and she also came to visit your lord at the emperor's behest." ”

Song Shi'an naturally heard of the origin of Princess Jinzhi, although he is the right minister, but the princess is a member of the royal family, and according to etiquette, she still has to bow down. In desperation, he could only lift his robe, kneel down again and say: "Weichen see Princess Jinzhi, princess Wan'an!" ”

The people under the Song Mansion naturally hurriedly echoed the salute, and for a while, the movement at the door also attracted many passers-by. However, Ye He was clearly exposed, and he refused to let it go, but dragged out his tone, frowned, and said: "Lord Song, please forgive this palace for being blunt, although this palace is the first time to see you, but I know that my lord is from the imperial examination, and he is following the path of a decent and clean party." In the court, Lord Song, you are quite prestigious, even among the people, and you are also a flaunting figure in the examination room for many poor students. It stands to reason that your identity is the most polite and the most courteous. It's just that now the palace and the prince and princess, as well as the chief manager Liu, at the behest of the emperor, came to visit your mansion with the royal rewards, but the people in the palace are perfunctory, except for you, even half of the family members have not come out to greet them, that is, the people at this door, and there are only a few people. With such a posture, doesn't it make it clear that the emperor is not in his eyes and treats the rules as nothing? Not to mention, the emperor has always attached importance to adults, and he didn't forget to let us come to visit adults in his busy schedule, Lord Song, you are afraid that such a move will reach the ears of the emperor and make him feel cold! ”

When Zichu heard Ye He Minglu say this, he knew that this guy was determined to come over and sing blackface to himself today. But it's okay, with Ye Heminglu's identity, no one is more suitable to say such things, of course, as far as Song Shi'an's personality is concerned, he will not be hurt by these words. However, it is enough to make him feel breathless and let others hear some words.

So, after Ye He Minglu finished speaking, she also hurriedly said: "Princess, it may have been a misunderstanding." My father has always been polite, and you can see that he can keep filial piety for my grandmother for three years without going out of the house. However, I can't excuse him for the fact that the lady in the house didn't come out to greet him. I heard that Mrs. Zhu, who was acting as the housekeeper, was sick, but now I am afraid that no one will take care of things in the backyard, so there will be this chaos. As for those subordinates, it seems that they are all loose and slack, and they need to be punished, otherwise, they will really be the Song Mansion and no one! ”
