Chapter 178: The adoptive mother of the second prince
"I already know about the virtuous concubine, this matter involves courtiers and killers, and the manpower and material resources are no longer something that the virtuous concubine can do alone. Come to think of it, my father-in-law was involved in this matter, right? ”
Talking to smart people is effortless, and before Li Ge Lao said anything, he already knew about it.
In the end, Elder Li Ge still wanted to save face, so he only said: "Yushen, the virtuous concubine is in a difficult situation in the harem, and the old man, as a father, naturally can't ignore it." What's more, the concubine and the fox bewitched the lord, and the old man also wanted to eliminate harm for the emperor, but he had to make this decision in a hurry. ”
It's a good idea.
But this is the next work.
Using the destruction of a woman's innocence to achieve the goal, such an insidious villain's means, no wonder Li Ge Lao was reluctant to let him know.
Ji Yushen thought in his heart, and his face was just with . With a faint smile, "How does my father-in-law want to solve this matter now?" ”
The attendant hurriedly said: "Uncle, you have always walked around in front of the emperor, do you have a good way to deal with this matter?" ”
Ji Yu looked at Li Ge Lao lightly, and from the gaze of the attendant and Li Ge Lao, he vaguely understood what it meant to do a good job.
If it doesn't hurt Li Gelao, it's a good way.
He nodded, "What does my father-in-law mean, does he want to clear up this matter, or do you want my son-in-law to persuade the emperor to be merciful?" ”
"Both."
Li Ge Lao said: "I want to clear up this matter with my Li Mansion, and I also want to persuade the emperor to be merciful to the virtuous concubine." ”
Ji Yushen smiled faintly, "Father-in-law, this is impossible, you should know this." ”
Li Ge looked at him in surprise, and Ji Yushen said: "If you want to clear the Li Mansion, the best way is to splash dirty water on the concubine." All the evidence on Sima Hu's side points to the Li Mansion, and the father-in-law can argue that those people were transferred by the concubine without permission and have nothing to do with you. But once he said this, the emperor would definitely be even more angry with the concubine. ”
Elder Li Ge was stunned, and then sighed.
Ji Yushen is right, this matter is an either/or situation, if he wants to protect the Li Mansion, he has to pour dirty water on the virtuous concubine.
But if so......
He looked up at Ji Yushen, "But Concubine Xian is the daughter of the old man, how can the old man be willing to let her bear this matter?" If the emperor is angry and hurts her, then ......"
Ji Yushen didn't speak, just looked at Li Ge Lao with a faint smile.
He just hoped that someone would persuade him to splash dirty water on Concubine Xian, so that he would feel a little less guilty in his heart.
But Ji Yushen is not stupid, if he persuades Li Ge Lao now, he will leave a handle for people to arrest in the future.
He has already come up with an idea, whether Li Ge Lao wants to choose or not, that is his business.
Ji Yushen doesn't persuade, some people will naturally persuade.
"Sir, don't hesitate. Abandon the concubine Niangniang, you still have the second prince, it's better than hurting yourself! ”
The attendant diligently persuaded Li Ge Lao, Li Ge Lao looked at him hesitantly, "The old man is really distressed......
The attendant said: "If the concubine is here, she will definitely agree with the old man to abandon the car and protect the handsome." Now is an extraordinary time, and when this matter passes, the lord will find a way for the concubine. ”
"Well, that's all it had to be."
Elder Li quickly agreed to the squire's suggestion.
The corners of Ji Yushen's slightly upturned mouth had a hint of sarcasm, this kind of routine used by hypocrites, Li Ge Lao used it really smartly.
I don't know if Concubine Xian would respect her as a good father if she heard it here.
……
Sima Hu's speed of investigating the case is extremely fast, and the case itself does not need to be investigated, the key is nothing more than interrogating the killers sent to the Tan family.
Those people originally refused to confess whether they were alive or dead, Sima Hu knew that it was not difficult to cultivate dead soldiers with the power of Li Ge Lao, and he didn't want to force these people urgently, lest they bite their tongues and commit suicide.
He just let the guards in the cell of Dali Temple relax a little, but he didn't expect the effect to be very good, and the killers confessed the next day.
"It was the virtuous concubine who sent us!"
"That's right, it's the virtuous concubine!"
Sima Hu felt funny when he heard it, and sure enough, as the emperor said, Li Ge Lao and the emperor were of one heart and one mind, and they both wanted to splash all the dirty water on the virtuous concubine.
The confessions of the killers, coupled with the guards sent by the virtuous concubines, and Tan Jian's confessions, the case was ironclad, and the emperor was furious and wanted to deal with the virtuous concubines.
Li Ge's old party in the DPRK and China were speechless to defend themselves, if they had changed in the past, they would have tried their best to speak for the virtuous concubine, but now no one said it, because speaking for the virtuous concubine would turn the finger on Li Gelao.
Therefore, the emperor's handling this time was resolute and extremely fast.
"Take away the title of the virtuous concubine, reduce it to a promise, and send it back to the palace to be grounded. I can't go out without my will, and I'm too lazy to see her again. The second prince is too young to be taken care of by his mother, and from now on, Yan Concubine will be the adoptive mother of the second prince. ”
Yan Concubine?!
It is not surprising that the virtuous concubine received such a punishment, framing the palace concubines and courtiers for fornication, and also buying murder, if such a crime is not in the face of Li Gelao, it is not too much to be executed.
It's just that the second prince was sent to the name of Yan Concubine to raise, which is really sensational.
Is this the emperor's intention to show favor to Concubine Yan, or is it deliberately suppressing the virtuous concubine...... No, what about Lee's promise?
After the news spread in the imperial garden, I heard that the second prince was crying and making a fuss in the study house, clamoring to see his mother, but in the end, it was Yan Concubine who rushed to comfort him.
The second prince did not appreciate it at all, and it is said that he smashed a lot of things, and then fell asleep when he was tired.
Su Youyi vaguely heard the movement in the book house across the lake and ignored it.
The second prince is extremely dependent on the virtuous concubine, no matter how bad the virtuous concubine is, but any child will like his biological mother, who would want an adoptive mother?
He deserves to cry this scene.
Shuya suddenly walked in from outside the house, "Niangniang, Concubine Yan Niangniang came over with the eldest prince." ”
"Please come in."
It's really strange that the two of them came together.
When the two entered the house, they saw that the eldest prince looked sleepy, and Concubine Yan looked helpless, and both of them looked relaxed when they saw her.
Su Youyi couldn't help but laugh, "You two seem to have come to me for refuge, what kind of expression is this?" ”
The eldest prince took off his shoes and sat on her back, "Yuan Tao is so noisy today, my good afternoon nap was woken up by him." I'm worried that he will wake up at night and make trouble, can I sleep here tonight? ”
Su Youyi thought about it, the matter of the virtuous concubine has just come out, and the emperor has a lot of excerpts to approve tonight, so he should not come over.
"Okay, then I'll take you in for one night, and I'll not make an example."
After that, he looked at Yan Concubine, "Sister Yan also wants to sleep with me for one night?" ”
Concubine Yan waved her hand, "You didn't grow up like the eldest prince and me?" I'm here to ask you, what should I do about the second prince? ”
Su Youyi couldn't help laughing: "Sister has such a big adopted son, this is a good thing, why is my sister still unhappy?" I was jealous that Concubine Fang was pregnant, but now you don't want to catch up with her? ”
