Chapter 146: The Savior
Facing the old princess's fierce gaze, the second wife was inexplicably inexplicably intimidated. Half of the previous drumming dissipated, and unnaturally greeted the old princess.
She returned with a pair of children.
Xiao Yuesi was as excited as the second wife, Xiao Zhuo's face was calm, and the two called their grandmother.
The old princess's face was pale, and she skimmed the two little servants behind her, and said, "Since you are gone, what are you going to do when you come back?" β
A trace of embarrassment flashed on the second wife's face, but thinking of the upcoming good future, even the previous fear disappeared, and deliberately pretended to be aggrieved: "Mother, no matter when, the palace is my home and that of my lord." β
The maids waiting in the room couldn't help but look up at the second wife.
These words sounded familiar to the people in the palace. A few days ago, the concubine of the palace also swore to the little maid in Chen Guogong's mansion like this, and then packed up her baggage and ran away.
The concubine on the side of the palace insisted on it for three days, and the second room, the palace slipped away before it was surrounded. The second wife is not as good as the palace concubine.
The old princess was noncommittal, "Say, what are you doing when you come back?" β
The second wife said: "Si'er and Zhuo'er miss you, I'll bring them back to visit you." β
The second wife also knows how to go step by step, and she didn't pick out the intention as soon as she came up. I plan to let the two children play the family card first.
But the old princess didn't eat this, took a sip of hot tea and said, "I didn't see them here two days ago, and I don't need them today." β
The old princess was sick and the queen mother was in trouble, and the old princess didn't believe that the second room didn't hear the rumors, if she really had a little filial piety, she should have come at that time.
The second wife was blocked and had nothing to say. In the past, the old princess was very kind and pleasant to their juniors, and she was easy to talk to. Today, just a few words made the second wife unable to answer, and the domineering old princess, the second wife couldn't cope with it for a while.
Cheekily pulled around for a while, and the second wife felt that the foreshadowing was almost done, so she sighed and said, "Hey, the prince and Yuan'er, in the prison, I don't know what happened." I heard that the place was damp and cold, and the cold was heavy. If you stay for a long time, it hurts your body. β
The old princess lifted her eyelids and did not speak.
The second wife made persistent efforts, "The master went to visit them yesterday, and the prison can't be entered casually." The man who begged for a long time only got half a cup of tea. Come back and tell me that the prince and Yuan'er have gone around a few times. That place doesn't eat well, it doesn't sleep well. How can the two of them stand it? What's more, if such a stalemate continues, there may be execution...... It's scary to think about. Mother, why don't you persuade them? β
As soon as the second wife's voice fell, a clear voice came, "What does Mrs. Qi want to ask grandmother to persuade her father and the prince?" β
Outside the house, Shen Qingru came with the princess in her arms, and Xiao Yueli followed.
Seeing the three of them, the old princess's face softened a lot, and she went straight from midwinter to warm summer.
After taking their seats in turn, Bilian served tea.
Shen Qingru looked at the second wife with a smile.
The second wife's face was cold, and it was obvious that a catastrophe was coming, but she still looked so indifferent and quiet, which made the second wife jealous and disgusted.
Xiao Yuesi hurriedly said: "Of course, let grandmother persuade the prince and eldest brother to confess their sins earlier." With the emperor's love for the palace, he will definitely be able to save his life and suffer less crimes. β
Shen Qingru laughed lightly, does Xiao Yuesi treat everyone as a fool? Can you still save a life if you collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? If the emperor is willing, it is impossible for Chen Guogong and his party to agree. really admitted, it is estimated that even the dog raised by Mr. Wan will not be able to escape.
"Miss Xiao, the prince and the prince are patriotic and loyal, what crime do you make them confess?"
Xiao Yuesi said unhappily: "The evidence is conclusive, the prince has nothing to say in the court, and the sister-in-law still says that they are not guilty?" Such a cover-up may not be a good thing for the prince and the prince, sister-in-law should think about it. β
Shen Qingru was unmoved, but said seriously: "Miss Xiao, don't call me sister-in-law." I don't dare to be. Ten days ago, my grandfather had already ordered that the second room would have nothing to do with the palace from now on. β
Xiao Zhuo, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I know that what my father did made my grandfather sad, but no matter what, my sister and I are both descendants of the Xiao family." β
The tone was sad and a little depressed. stared straight at the old princess, really like a good grandson who cares about the palace.
Shen Qingru stared at the teacup on the table, and the corners of her mouth smiled sarcastically.
The old princess said: "Qingru is right, she is no longer your sister-in-law, and the old prince is not your grandfather." β
"He will be sad because your father turned black and white upside down, made something out of nothing, and acted for the tiger. He deceived his elders because he was unfilial; To deceive the king is to be disloyal; It is unkind to disregard the people; It is unjust to frame my brother. In the hundred years of the palace, there was a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person. For the sake of rights, provoke a war between the two countries, regardless of the life and death of the people. Of course, the old prince will be sad. β
"Go back. No more comes. The palace is open-minded, frank, and not afraid of betrayal, let alone framed. No matter what the truth is, there will always be a day when it will come out. The palace is waiting. You guys do it for yourselves. β
The second wife's face was green. Xiao Zhuo's expression was gloomy.
Shen Qingru looked at him and sighed in his heart. She was sure that Xiao Zhuo knew the truth.
Fang Cai's words seem to be Akagi, but they are actually traps.
As long as they follow the words and say a few words of resentment against the second master, they will definitely be regarded as annoyed and embarrassed after their actions.
This little bit of caution is not enough in front of the old princess.
The words were loud, and the dog scolded by the second master was bloody.
Seeing that the conversation had collapsed, the second wife no longer pretended, and said with a cold face: "The old princess and the princess really don't think about it anymore?" Our lord specially interceded with the prince and the prince, as long as they confessed, they would definitely save their lives. Having committed such a heinous crime, it would be good to be able to live. β
The second wife really didn't know, she felt that these people in the palace were simply ignorant, and they were dying, and they didn't know how to be afraid.
Shen Qingru said with a smile: "Master Xiao's face is really big, but the palace is innocent and innocent, so he can't use it." It's better to keep it for yourself later. β
Shen Qingru really kindly suggested, but in the ears of the second wife, she was angry to death. These people are crazy, and the old man is not happy to help them, and he makes sarcastic remarks.
"It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!" The second lady threw down this sentence angrily and left with the people.
Xiao Zhuo frowned, and wanted to work harder, but he knew that Chen Guogong couldn't do anything about the two princes in the prison, with the emperor and the queen mother covering, he couldn't be tortured, if he could find a breakthrough from the princess of the palace, things would be easier.
Today, the old prince was announced into the palace by the emperor, and they found a chance to come over. How do you know that the palace is from top to bottom, and oil and salt do not enter. He refuses to let his tongue fall.
The second wife walked to the door of the house, and when she saw that Xiao Zhuo was still in place, she said angrily: "If you don't leave, why are you staying?" Others don't want to appreciate it, let's just say it's useless to break your mouth! β
Xiao Zhuo was a little annoyed, and Shen Qingru said with a smile: "Go slowly, don't send it." β
I'm afraid it's useless to stay, so Xiao Zhuo left unwillingly.
After sending a few people away, Mother Li helped the old princess to lie down again.
Shen Qingru and the princess walked out of the Spring Festival Courtyard.
The princess walked in front, and Shen Qingru and Xiao Yueli fell last.
Shen Qingru whispered, "How is the inquiry?" "Last time, Xiao Yueli wanted to inquire about the princess and the princess, but I didn't know what happened.
Xiao Yueli nodded, her steps slowed down again, and she was more distant from the princess, "I asked Aunt Lixia, she refused to say it at first, and it took me a long time to reveal a little." β
Those sad pasts, brought up just to tear open the princess's scabbed wounds.
Xiao Yueli leaned to Shen Qingru's ear and said: "It seems that the mother concubine saved my father's life back then, and then my grandfather asked the emperor for marriage." β
Shen Qingru was stunned, "The mother concubine saved the prince?" β
Xiao Yueli nodded, "Yes." Aunt Lixia said that the mother almost lost her life. β
"Does the prince know?" Shen Qingru asked.
Xiao Yueli said: "The prince knows." Aunt Lixia said that she thought that there was a life-saving grace, and the prince would also treat her mother well, but who knew that since she entered the palace, the prince has always been very cold to her mother. β
When Aunt Lixia said it, she also counted the prince down.
Shen Qingru had also heard that at first, the princess ignored the princess, and later the princess became pregnant, and the prince's attitude changed, but the princess had a big quarrel with the princess, and she gave birth to Xiao Yuan early and moved into Zizhuyuan.
Butβ"Does the prince really know?" Shen Qingru confirmed.
Xiao Yueli was a little strange, "Aunt Lixia said, the prince knows." It was the prince who told his grandfather, and his grandfather went to the emperor to ask for the holy decree. β
Shen Qingruxiu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, "But the last time the prince and the palace concubine met, it seemed that they mentioned that the palace concubine saved the princeββ"
Xiao Yueli didn't mention it, and Shen Qingru didn't think about it.
At that time, it was far away, and the conversation between the two was intermittent, and the conversation was like this-
Gong Jin: Your life is mine, how about helping me?
Lord Wang: These are two different things......
I didn't hear what the prince said later.
There was some ambiguity between the words, and in that case, Shen Qing consciously thought that Gong Jin was coquettish with the prince. The kind that young couples often have-
Woman: Do you love me?
Man: Love. My people, my heart is yours!
Woman: Your people are all mine, what's wrong with accompanying me to go shopping?
Man: It's different.....
Although this kind of fleshy words are not like what the prince of the straight man of steel can say. However, in view of Xiao Yuan in the same situation, sometimes Shen Qingru couldn't resist when he really flirted. So Shen Qingru didn't think much about it. also secretly complained that it was worthy of both father and son, both of whom were sullen.
It wasn't until I listened to Xiao Yueli's words that I realized that the prince's straight man of steel may be really rigid and straight.
Gong Jin's words also mean literally. She once saved the prince, so the prince's life is hers.
After Shen Qingru finished analyzing, Xiao Yueli was also dumbfounded, "Won't it?" Could it be that the prince is mistaken? But if you want to investigate this matter, isn't it easy? β
The three of them confronted each other, and it was clear.
However, Shen Qingru felt that with the incomprehensible style of the prince, the coldness of the princess, and the scheming of Gong Jin, no matter how bloody it was, it was not impossible.
