Mrs. Xu thought about the events of the year, and her expression changed.

It was a look of disgust, but helplessness.

"It was the will of the Holy God to let your father guard the prince, and the prince's mansion is not somewhere else, so there will be no inexplicable fire." After Mrs. Xu said this, perhaps because she thought of the events of the year, her head felt a little painful.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu hurriedly stepped forward, and before they could speak, Old Lady Xu beckoned to Dong Shu.

"Mother, are you feeling unwell again?" Dong Shu sat on the edge of the bed at Mrs. Xu's feet, and when she saw Mrs. Xu beckoning, she hurriedly stepped forward, wiped the sweat of Mrs. Xu with the handkerchief in her hand, and then hurriedly asked, "Mother, do you want to drink some warm water?" ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Yanzhu had already turned around quickly, walked to the table and poured a glass of warm water, and then sent it to Dong Shu, waiting for her to feed Mrs. Xu.

Dong Shu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xu Yanzhu's action, so she naturally took the water cup and carefully fed it to Mrs. Xu.

In fact, Mrs. Xu felt much better when Dong Shu wiped her sweat, but she didn't rush to speak, until she drank a glass of water fed by Dong Shu, and she felt that her body was lighter again, so she patted Dong Shu's hand and asked her to sit down and rest.

"Dong, you take a break, my mother is much better now."

After Mrs. Xu said this to Dong Shu, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued what she had just said: "Your father actually found some evidence after he first discovered the fire. But when he sent this evidence to the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord said, 'The royal family will not have such a prince who cares about brotherhood.'

Your father can sit from an ordinary soldier to the position of a general, and his ability to observe words and emotions is good. At that time, he wanted to forget the evidence and leave the palace, but the Holy Lord stopped him and said three words to him.

It is these three sentences that your father will be willing to use death to cover up this matter. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu and just finished saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and asked, "How did my mother know this?" ”

"Humph! Although the mother is a woman in the house, she also has a doorway in the palace. Although my mother can't find out what the saint said to your father in the end, she can be sure that the saint wants to keep his other son, so he will say those three words to your father. As soon as Mrs. Xu thought of this, she felt that her late husband was not worth it.

He has been for the royal family all his life, and he even married his only daughter into the royal family to prove his loyalty, but in the end, he ended up with such an ending.

"When your father first went, it was rumored throughout the capital that your father had angered the saint, and many people speculated that your father killed the prince.

But on the night your father just went, the Holy Lord secretly sent someone to let me choose whether to stay in the capital or leave the capital. Old Mrs. Xu thought of this and felt ridiculous, she really didn't expect that today's saint would be embarrassed to let herself choose, "I naturally don't want to stay in the capital, and my choice is just in line with the saint's mind."

Only the death of your father and the downfall of our Xu family can suppress the news of the murder of the prince.

Only your father's death will lead the ignorant people to think that your father is the murderer behind it.

Only your father's death can save his other son! ”

"It's ridiculous that the world really believes that your father is guilty. But why don't they want to think about it, if your father really harmed the prince, according to the saint's temperament and the family background of the Hu family, how could our Xu family keep the family property and leave the capital safely. "It is precisely because of this incident that Mrs. Xu is reluctant to go to the capital.

"The saint wants to save face and use your father's life to cover up the royal scandal. He thought that ten years would be enough time for him to clean up his sons, but in my opinion, ten years not only did not break the wings of several princes, but made them all strengthen their strength.

The older the saint gets, the softer he becomes, and he still had the courage to force your father to death back then, but now, he is reluctant to touch any of his sons. Not only was he reluctant to move, but he also pretended not to notice the fight between them.

In the heart of the saint, his sons are all good, and the bad ones are the ministers around them, and it is their demagoguery that makes his sons different from before. ”

This is the first time that Mrs. Xu has analyzed Rui Kangdi in front of her son and granddaughter, and hearing her analysis, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu were stunned.

Even Dong Shu, who doesn't know much about these things, feels that the emperor is not doing it right.

His own son was disobedient, but he wanted to cover up his son with the death of his minister.

Why?

Could it be that because he is the emperor, he can dispose of a person who is not guilty at all so casually?

Dong Shu couldn't figure it out, it would be very messy in her head, and she couldn't figure out these things.

When Xu Shiqiu heard the first words of his mother, he guessed that what his mother said next would be extremely shocking.

But he never imagined that his father's voluntary death back then would be the meaning of today's saint, and the saint would become like this.

"Mother, if the royal family is really so unbearable, then sister she ......"

"Your sister is also considered to be blessed in the royal family, after all, the five princes are full of her, originally my mother thought that after your father went, the attitude of the five princes towards your sister would change, but the last time Shuo'er came, listening to what he said, your sister is still the only woman that the five princes care about." Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Xu's face looked better.

When the prime minister agreed to let his daughter marry the fifth prince, Mrs. Xu was worried that the royal daughter-in-law would not be good.

But now it seems that even if the daughter did not marry the fifth prince but married the heir of an ordinary minister's family, she may not be happy now.

"But my sister wrote to me a few days ago, asking me if I would like to go back to Beijing to take over the military power left by my father." Xu Shiqiu didn't plan to tell Mrs. Xu about this matter, but since he talked about it today, Xu Shiqiu said it directly, "And Shuo'er said that when my sister wrote this letter, my brother-in-law was by my side, so I think this matter is not what my brother-in-law meant." ”

"Your brother-in-law ......" Mrs. Xu thought of the son-in-law who said that he was not interested in the throne in front of her, sighed, and continued: "Hey, listening to you say this, it seems that your brother-in-law is also interested in that position." ”

"Mother, in that case, do you think I should go back to Beijing?" Xu Shiqiu originally didn't plan to get involved in this matter, but after knowing the reason for his father's death, he immediately hated the current saint.

It's just that he can't say anything about it, so he can only find another way to break the original holy arrangement.

Now it seems that the easiest way is to help my brother-in-law sit on the throne, so that he can not only find an opportunity to kill the third prince, but also expose the truth about his father's voluntary death.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she understood what he meant.

"Shi Qiu, the saint is your brother-in-law's father after all." Mrs. Xu was willing to leave the capital and go to Xiahe Village to be an ordinary woman, and there were also reasons for Xu Nuanwen.

"But if you don't take this step, my father will always be charged with murdering the prince. Although he didn't really convict his father, what he did back then hinted to everyone that the crown prince had something to do with his father. ”

What Xu Shiqiu is thinking about now is to clear his father's crimes, as for whether he can successfully kill the third prince, this is secondary.

Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart, maybe the Hu family wanted to kill the three princes even more!

Mrs. Xu also understood that what Xu Shiqiu said made sense, her deceased husband thought that 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', but for her, the most important thing is that only the husband and the children and grandchildren are safe.

"Hey, if you really want to do this, my mother only hopes that you can think about the Dong family and your unborn children." Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu as soon as she finished saying this, Xu Shiqiu wanted to speak, but Mrs. Xu shook her head at him and continued: "Your father has gone, and now my mother cares more about you." ”

After Mrs. Xu finished saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't know what to say for a while.

Just when they were silent, Xu Yanzhu, who was standing aside, suddenly looked at Old Lady Xu and Xu Shiqiu and said, "Grandmother, third uncle, if you have any plans, why don't you tell me, and when I go to the capital, you can start arranging." ”

Xu Yanzhu couldn't see a trace of tears on her face, and she was also sad when she heard her grandmother's words, after all, the family loved her the most at the beginning, but it was actually her deceased grandfather.

"Grandmother, third uncle, maybe I married into the Jiang family this time, and I can find out some things about the third prince. Since I can't escape the fate of marrying into the Jiang family, then I should also do something for our Xu family. ”

Xu Yanzhu had a shallow smile on her face, and as soon as she finished saying this, Xu Shiqiu wanted to open her mouth to stop her, but the old lady Xu looked at Xu Yanzhu and confirmed before he spoke: "Yanzhu, have you thought about it?" ”

"Mother!" Xu Shiqiu called her when his mother's voice just fell, "Mother, Yanzhu is my daughter's family." ”

"Third uncle, do you look down on my daughter's family?" Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Shiqiu with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she saw Xu Shiqiu shaking her head, she continued: "Third uncle, I said before that I am the daughter of the Xu family. As the daughter of the Xu family, it is not an exaggeration to contribute her own strength to her grandfather's affairs. ”

After saying this, Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Shiqiu with shining eyes and said, "Third uncle, originally I thought that my life was meaningless and it was better to die happily, but now, I have a new goal. After saying this to Xu Shiqiu, Xu Yanzhu finally looked at Mrs. Xu and said: "Grandmother, this matter is the most convenient for me to do, if the third uncle returns to Beijing to do this, it will definitely attract the attention of the third prince and the saint." ”

Xu Shiqiu and Mrs. Xu both understood that what Xu Yanzhu said was very reasonable.

Her marriage with the Jiang family was given by the Jiang family to the concubine, and after she went to the capital, she could naturally take this opportunity to get close to the concubine and the third prince.

And most importantly, the Jiang family is rich.

If you want to really find out what happened nine years ago, it will definitely not work to turn over those evidences without the support of money.

But, how can they be willing to do this!
