Chapter 131: The Art of Checks and Balances
Leaning on the plum garden.
Shangguan Mei'er stood up when she heard the news, "What? How so? ā
Why did it come to this point, Liu Yan really couldn't hold her breath, having a child in Shangguan Yun would let her enter the house sooner or later, why should she be in a hurry to prove her innocence? What's more, Wen Ya's pregnancy was fake from the beginning, and now she directs and acts like this, doesn't she doubt it? What a stupidity!
"Second Miss, it's hard for Aunt Liu to turn over now, what should we do?" Rue Xiang frowned, already out of proportion.
Shangguan Mei'er thought for a moment and sat down again, "What's the matter with us?" Aunt Liu herself is stupid......"
"Mei'er! Mei'er! ā
Rue Xiang hurriedly took a step back, "Miss Changxiao." ā
Shangguan Mei'er hurriedly put away her expression, "Long smile, why are you here?" ā
"I'm here to see you, something so big happened to your aunt, I think you must be sad and sad." Shangguan Chang smiled and sighed, "Mei'er, don't be sad, there will be younger brothers and sisters in the future." ā
Shangguan Mei'er heard this and hurriedly squeezed out a few tears, "Long smile, although Aunt Liu and I are not close, she treats me very well." Both of us are from bad backgrounds, so we are each other's only support in this house. Now that she's done with this, and she has no children, IāI really don't know how sad she's going to be! ā
"Until now, you're still afraid that Aunt Liu will be sad, Mei'er, you are so kind." Changxiao took Mei'er's hand, "Don't worry, Uncle Yun is very good to Aunt Liu, and he won't blame her." ā
Shangguan Mei'er stopped talking and snorted, "It's just that I'm thinking, if Aunt Liu really poisoned her wife, then she is pregnant, and the revelation of the matter is the last reliance, why bother to eat the pastries that she knows are poisonous?" ā
"That's right!" Shangguan Changdi heard it, "No one is stupid, why should you harm yourself?" Unless...... Unless Aunt Liu doesn't know that it is poisonous at all, that means that the person who poisoned it is not Aunt Liu at all! Shangguan stood up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement, "Someone must have framed Aunt Liu, hmph, it's just too hateful." ā
Shangguan Mei'er gave Rue Xiang a look, and hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't get excited, Changxiao, this is just my guess." Where could the Shangguan family have such a framed person? What's more, Aunt Liu has no grievances with others, who will frame her? Maybe, maybe it's just a misunderstanding! ā
"The second lady is kind-hearted, how can there be so many misunderstandings, it's all man-made. You don't want to think about it, Aunt Liu doesn't dare to say anything when she is pregnant, what kind of life is she living? Who is the most threatening Aunt Liu's pregnancy? How could it be so coincidental that Mrs. she had a miscarriage? Rue Xiang cried as she spoke, "Poor my second lady, helpless and bullied." ā
Shangguan Chang laughed when he heard this, and his hands were crossed in indignation, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that my aunt would be such a person, how could she frame Aunt Liu and beat her child?" It's disgusting! ā
Mei'er sighed helplessly, and nervously pulled her sleeve, "Long smile, don't talk nonsense, it's not good if someone hears it." We have no evidence, not to mention that Mrs. She was having a miscarriage at the time, who would poison the pastry? It's impossible......" Mei'er meant something, and waited for Chang Xiao to take the bait.
"It's her! I knew it was her! The long smile and willow eyebrows stood upside down, "Mei'er, don't be afraid, I'll go and get justice for you!" ā
"Long laugh! Long laugh! You slow down, this matter must be a misunderstanding......" Mei'er shouted a few times, a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth.
Prince's Mansion.
Murong Ze was leaning on the soft collapse and looking at the information collected by Wen Yan, but Liufeng knocked on the door, "Your Highness, there is a distinguished guest visiting. ā
"Guest?" Murong Ze was thoughtful, and then stuffed the information under the pillow, "Please!" ā
Murong Ze got up to greet Murong Zhentian who walked in, "Erchen has seen his father and the emperor, and he has seen Concubine Li, please forgive Erchen for the crime of disgrace in front of the emperor who was not in good clothes." ā
"Hurry up!" Murong Zhentian and Concubine Li are both dressed in folk costumes, like ordinary couples.
Ordinary couples?
Thinking of this word, Murong Ze smiled helplessly in his heart and shook his head, Murong Zhentian was afraid that he had long forgotten that when he was still the prince, he would be the original partner who accompanied him!
"Qianyan, how are you? Is the injury serious? Concubine Li helped Murong Ze up and looked up and down with concern, "I heard that it was injured in the chest, did it hurt the internal organs?" ā
Murong Zhentian frowned, "Concubine Li, don't be so anxious, isn't the prince standing in front of you now, it can be seen that the injury has been controlled, and there are so many imperial doctors here, you can rest assured." ā
Concubine Li hurriedly curts, "It's the concubine who is too worried, as long as the prince is fine, the concubine will be relieved." It's just that someone dares to assassinate the prince, which is really bold. Holy Lord, you must punish such a rampant person! ā
Murong Ze smiled lightly, "Concubine Li doesn't have to be so anxious, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, just let Concubine Li worry, and Erchen is ashamed." ā
"Qianyan, you are just too kind and generous to indulge those people." Concubine Li glanced at Murong Zhentian's face, some words are just enough, and the next thing is not for her to be controlled by a woman. Concubine Li Guifei excused herself to go out to see the situation in the Prince's Mansion, so she retired.
Murong Zhentian's index finger tapped on the tabletop, "But you have eyebrows?" ā
Does it really matter who it is or who it is? At least for Murong Zhentian, it doesn't matter!
Murong Ze chuckled, "Why does my father ask knowingly, I guess my father has already found out before he came, but he just came to warn his sons that it is not appropriate to publicize it at this time." ā
"What do you mean by that?" Murong Zhentian snorted coldly, "Could it be that I will still cover up?" ā
Murong Ze was not afraid of his anger, "The father is not a shield, it is just an emperor's technique, and balance is the king." So you're not going to absolutely suppress anyone, and you're not going to completely promote anyone. ā
You don't have to think about this thing to know that the fourth prince Murong Xun did it, and now the one who can compete with the crown prince Murong Ze in the government and the opposition is Murong Xun, although Murong Xun has a reckless personality, but he is superior to his noble birth and the support of his mother's family. And the crown prince Murong Ze has already lost his mother's family, and all he can rely on is himself and the dying old woman in the harem!
"You're really getting more and more promising, Murong Ze, since you've analyzed it so thoroughly, I might as well tell you."
"I've never wanted to balance the two forces, I just want to see who has the strength?" Murong Zhentian's mocking eyes swept down Murong Ze, "A weak and idle prince, can he support these thousands of miles?" ā
Murong Ze's eyes were cold everywhere he went, "Since my father said so, the ministers will be relieved." ā
Rest assured to shoot, rest assured to pull out every thorn that leads to the East Palace!
Murong Zhentian stood up and stood with his hands in his hands, "Then I wish you success in advance, I hope you don't live up to the position of the crown prince that I have asked you to sit on for so many years." ā
He hoped that Murong Ze could succeed, and hoped that he could eradicate dissidents with his own hands, and only in this way could he watch him compose the East Palace. Otherwise, how can I rest assured that I will hand over Nanyao to a weak person after a hundred years? If Murong Ze was really destroyed by the powerful prince, wouldn't Nan Yao blame himself for seeing the wrong person in history?
That was the last thing he could do for that poor wife......
