Chapter 077: Who Will Be the Scapegoat
As soon as Princess Mengyao came back from outside the palace, several palace maids in red clothes surrounded her early and chattered, telling her the details of Concubine Mei and the queen coming here.
"These minions' mouths are slipping so fast!" The eldest princess sighed, but it was because of the truthfulness of these minions that she was desperate and had a glimmer of life.
The evil seed in the stomach is the queen's own grandson, and the one who set fire to burn her seventh princess is also the queen's biological daughter Keke, and she is at most an accomplice.
No matter what, the queen can't kill her relatives in righteousness, right?
When Meng Yao thought of this, her uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
The queen mother is in the world, how many winds and waves she has seen, how can she hide this little trick in front of her, presumably the queen already knows the ins and outs of the matter.
Meng Yao relaxed her heart instead, and now the top priority is to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first to see how he reacts.
"Xiaocui, you go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I have something to say to him." Meng Yao commanded.
Xiaocui took the order and left, and before she left the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she was stopped by the red-clothed palace maid who came in a hurry. "Sister, come back quickly, the eldest princess called you back."
The eldest princess has always been very decisive, but now how has she become mother-in-law and indecisive? Xiao Cui was very puzzled, and hurriedly turned around and said, "The eldest princess really ordered me to go back?" ”
"What did my sister say, do I dare to give you an order in private?" The red-clothed palace maid was full of smiles, but she was slandering in her heart, who doesn't know that you are the chief manager of the eldest princess's side, how many sins the eldest princess has caused, and how much punishment she will suffer in the future, you are also indispensable.
"Hehe, borrow ten of your guts, you don't dare!" Xiaocui said arrogantly.
The two returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion one after the other, Ziyi was helping the eldest princess to apply grease and powder to her face, and Green Yi found the red dress.
Celestia is preparing to wear heavy makeup, what is her plan in her heart? Xiao Cui was puzzled.
After waiting for the eldest princess to finish dressing up, the eldest princess twisted her waist back and forth in the dressing mirror, her eyes were bright, and she suddenly found that the beauty mole on her forehead was just a red dot, and immediately asked people to put on the plum blossom pattern again, so it looked like it was much more gorgeous with a red robe.
The eldest princess is going to go to the East Palace where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives, how to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if she doesn't dress up a little fancy way.
"Xiaocui, let's go to the East Palace, we have to hurry up, otherwise the queen's people should come to spread the edict again."
The red-clothed women had to admire the eldest princess for being like a god, he only left on the front foot, and Grandpa An also stepped into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion on the back foot.
"On the orders of the queen, the eldest princess Mengyao went to the queen's palace to ask questions!" Justice.
"Celestial Princess, Celestial Princess, Celestial Princess, she hasn't come back yet." The red clothes were incoherent and panicked.
When the eldest princess was leaving, she once instructed that if her father-in-law was in a hurry, let them come to the East Palace where the prince lived to find someone.
"Nonsense, the eldest princess has been back for an hour, and she wants to deceive the Sprinkle family and the queen, you are so bold." Gonggong An said angrily.
If there is no definite news, can the queen act rashly?
The queen did everything she could, but she never expected that the eldest princess would move so fast!
"Celestia came back, but isn't this time gone?" Ziyi peeked at the angry father-in-law An, and said tremblingly.
"You stupid minions, didn't you bring the words of the queen to the eldest princess when she came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"
"The eldest princess doesn't know where she came back from being angry, who would dare to make matters worse and tell her such a trivial matter......" A little palace maid said openly.
Father-in-law An was so violent that he dared to despise the queen, and he trembled with anger.
"Palm, palm, hurry up and slap the big mouth of the palace maid who doesn't know whether to live or die!" As soon as Grandpa An's voice fell, someone had already stepped forward, opened the bow left and right, and slapped countless times, punishing the palace maid who didn't know whether to live or die.
"The courage is getting bigger and bigger, and it's just that there is no one else in your eyes, and even the queen is not in your eyes? Your master is both talented and beautiful, and she boasts that she is the first beauty in Yong'an country, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
This is the virtue of the slave she taught? No wonder the emperor did not specify that she should be the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but with a discerning eye and chose the seventh princess, who was ugly but knew etiquette and honesty, to be the future crown princess.
The slave only now understands the emperor's good intentions, but it's a pity that it's late, and the smart and flexible seventh princess flew back to the heavenly palace like this. Father-in-law An said with regret.
"When I look back, remember to tell your master, the queen, it's not a trivial matter, you have to treat it as a top priority, hum!"
Father-in-law An, who walked away, told the servants sarcastically and went back to report to the queen.
"What, the eldest princess came back and left again, where did she go, did she ask?" The queen didn't need them to say, she guessed that this woman had gone to find one of her children as a scapegoat.
This time, Grandpa An was blinded, because he was angry with the minions in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so he didn't ask where the eldest princess went, so he had to ble his face and kneel on the ground.
He trembled and said: "The slave should die, the slave should die, the slave was angry in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and delayed the main thing, so the slave will go back and ask where the eldest princess went?" ”
"Don't bother, you immediately send someone to the prince's East Palace and Coco's Jade Palace to investigate, don't startle the snake, see if the eldest princess is there?" The queen felt really tired, how could these two uncompetitive sons and daughters get so close to the eldest princess who is very deep in the city.
I knew why I had to do it today, when Coco touted in front of herself how the eldest princess was knowledgeable and talented, she should have expected that there would be today's disaster.
is still the emperor has foresight, no wonder he came up with the idea of asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to renew the marriage contract with the Seventh Princess. It's just that it all seems to be late.
As the queen expected, according to the person who sent it, the eldest princess went to the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Why didn't this woman go to Coco to discuss countermeasures, but ran to entangle with His Royal Highness the Prince, doesn't she know if men and women are intimate?"
The queen's mind began to run rapidly, and a bad premonition came out of her heart.
"Could it be that there is something more unexpected than the ascension of the seventh princess?" The queen muttered, and her heart began to feel uneasy.
The words inadvertently said by the servant of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion rang in her ears again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to come to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion often, but Keke only came once yesterday!" ”
Based on these words, the queen immediately deduced that her two sons and daughters had indeed had an accident.
