"The crown princess?" Old Madam Tong Jia frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she spoke: "Is it reliable?" ”

"Reliable! Our people finally found the clue, and finally caught the dead man! It was not easy to interrogate it. ”

"Where did you get it?"

"From Shilan's mother's family. Shilan is the maid next to Concubine De, the one who died blocking arrows for Concubine De when she was assassinated a few days ago. Second Mrs. Tong Jia explained: "This person has long been lurking in Shi Lan's house, pinching the life of that family, and the head of the palace Shi Lan has long since defected to the side of the crown princess. ”

Old Mrs. Tong Jia grinded her teeth: "Could it be that Sifujin and the crown princess teamed up to set a trap for us?" It's really not enough for Sifujin to want to frame us with assassination. It is not an easy matter to make the palace guards her own dead soldiers. It is not easy to get the guards to 'assassinate' her according to her orders, and not to reveal the repentance. ”

"Bring the dead man caught in Shilan's house, and the old man will interrogate him personally." After living a handful of years, the last thing she wanted to see was that the Tong Guogong Mansion was calculated to be in danger.

……

After the personal interrogation, Mrs. Tong Jia was extremely irritable.

The dead man's confession had nothing to do with Chu Xian, and it seemed that he was completely instructed by the crown princess.

"Could it be that the assassination was not Sifujin's bitter plan, but the crown princess led it?" Old Madam Tong Jia frowned: "Why did the crown princess suddenly target us?" ”

Second Mrs. Tong Jia instantly understood something: "Eniang, is it because of the old account a few months ago?" Before Sifu Jin gave birth, the news that we put into the palace was released to Concubine Hui and the crown princess at the same time. Isn't it that the crown princess lost her child later, but the blame fell on us? ”

"It doesn't seem right," Second Lady Tong Jia frowned: "How did the crown princess know that there was our hand behind that incident?" ”

"Could it be that the mountain bandits that our dead soldiers encountered on the way back to Beijing some time ago were sent by the crown princess?" The second lady guessed.

The old lady frowned and thought about it, and then spoke after a while: "Your guess is very likely." When Sifujin was in her mother's house, he had an excellent relationship with her four elder brothers. If she had found out that we had sent someone to assassinate her brother, she would not have waited until now to do so. And what kind of character is the crown princess. ”

Speaking of the times, the old lady couldn't help but admire Kangxi Ye in her heart: "The news of the assassination of Brother Sifujin was released to Concubine Hui and the Crown Princess that day, and we have long guessed that the Crown Princess may take the opportunity to make a move against Sifujin, but she will most likely borrow Concubine Hui's hand and will not come forward in person." ”

"However, we didn't find any evidence of the princess's action at that time. This woman is so scheming that even if we were prepared, we couldn't catch her pigtails. The fourth elder brother is attached to the prince, and the fourth blessing is about just a lackey in the eyes of the crown princess. How can she persuade the crown princess to join her in attacking our Guogong Mansion? ”

The old lady thought about it, and finally came to a conclusion that could convince herself: "The assassination of Sifujin is probably unknown to the little slut himself." The confession of the dead man must be true. This matter was done by the crown princess. ”

Kangxi Ye is really good at picking a daughter-in-law, and he chose a woman who is so anxious to be the crown princess.

"Eniang, what should we do now?" The second lady looked at the old lady a little nervously.
