Chapter 144: Aunt Qin
Xiao Ran belongs to the kind that can't stop for a moment. There are twice as many maids and women serving Xiao Ran than Xiao Yuan.
There's no way, there are fewer people and you can't watch it, and if you don't pay attention, you don't know where to run.
Shen Qingru noticed that the princess had dark circles under her eyes, although she could still see it after rubbing the powder, and said with concern: "The concubine didn't sleep well last night?" ”
The princess stiffened, and pretended to say casually: "There were mosquitoes in the house last night, and I didn't sleep well." ”
It's already July, the weather is hot, mosquitoes are coming out, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the night in the Curie.
However, the princess's expression looked like a lie.
Pleasant Goat has a new batch of flower dew, which can prevent mosquitoes and insects, and several Shen Qingru who have made friends with him have sent a few bottles over. In the house, Shen Qingru could still smell the smell of flower dew.
The princess didn't want to say more, so Shen Qingru didn't ask more.
Xiao Yueli winked at Shen Qingru.
After chatting with the princess for a while, Shen Qingru threw the little bun to the princess to take care of, and he and Xiao Yueli went out under the pretext of going out for a walk, and walked out of the house, walking along a large purple bamboo forest in Zizhu Garden, talking while walking.
"What happened to the concubine last night?" Shen Qingru asked.
Xiao Yueli looked left and right, there were no outsiders around, and leaned into Shen Qingru's ear and whispered: "Yesterday I was in my mother's house and saw the prince." ”
After returning to the house from Mingxin Hall last night, the princess asked Xiao Yueli to rest early. Xiao Yueli went back to her room, she couldn't sleep because of something in her heart, and she was worried about the princess. I plan to sleep with the princess tonight, the two of them have a companion and can talk.
Outside the princess's house, only Aunt Lixia was guarding alone. Xiao Yueli was about to speak, but Lixia waved at her and pointed to the room.
Xiao Yueli was curious, and then she heard a deep male voice.
Well, Xiao Yueli's first reaction was that she thought that her mother had cuckolded the princess, and she was startled.
After listening to it again, I found that it was the prince, and the princess's low voice.
Xiao Yueli blushed and left.
The prince still came to see his mother in the prison, so Xiao Yueli didn't bother.
Shen Qingru's mouth opened slightly, sure enough, Xiao Yuan and Wang Ye were father and son, and they all did the same thing.
Xiao Yueli's expression was a little complicated, "Sister Qingru, what do you think the prince thinks?" said that he was good to his mother, and he hadn't seen him care about his mother for so many years. The concubine never gave a gift on her birthday. said that he was not good to his mother, and he went to the prison to visit his mother. ”
Xiao Yueli pulled a green bamboo leaf, played with it in her hand, lowered her head and said, "Although I don't like him, it's best if the mother concubine can reconcile with him." ”
Shen Qingru didn't know how to comfort Xiao Yueli, and thought for a while: "I think that the prince and the mother still have feelings. ”
Xiao Yueli raised her head, her eyes shining, "Really?" ”
Shen Qingru nodded affirmatively, it can be seen in many details, the two still have each other in their hearts, "Haven't you noticed that the prince has taken the initiative a lot recently?" ”
Xiao Yueli recalled carefully, "That's true." ”
The prince would take the initiative to come to Zizhuyuan for dinner, but the princess treated him lightly. If there is something new, it will be sent to the princess, but the princess is still indifferent to him.
and Xiao Yuan was poisoned, this time he was imprisoned in the prison, and he came to see the princess.
Xiao Yueli said distressedly: "The mother concubine doesn't care much about the prince. ”
Shen Qingru sighed, "The princess has a hurdle in her heart that she can't get over, if she can't solve it, I'm afraid that the relationship between the two will not progress." ”
Xiao Yueli looked downcast: "I also know, but the mother never said it, and I don't know how to explain her." ”
Xiao Yueli's pretty face was full of sadness, she is old, and she will marry in the future, and when the princess is alone, she will be even more lonely.
Shen Qingru thought for a moment, and told Xiao Yueli all her previous guesses and seeing the prince and Gong Jin talking together.
Xiao Yueli looked incredulous, "Is it the palace concubine?!" ”
Shen Qingru looked at her and said, "You've been with the princess, haven't you noticed anything wrong?" ”
Xiao Yueli shook her head and said blankly: "No, the mother concubine rarely goes out, and she either reads books or is in a daze all day long." ”
Xiao Yueli said: "Is it true that the prince and the palace concubine are real?" ”
Xiao Yueli still couldn't believe it, except for Gong Lan, there was no intersection between the two at all.
Shen Qingru said: "Eighty percent is true. Aunt Lixia has been with the princess for many years, so she should know better. ”
Xiao Yueli understood the meaning of the words, and made up her mind: "I will ask quietly when I have the opportunity." ”
"Hmm." The matter of the princess and the princess, Shen Qingru was also itching in her heart.
Lunch was left at Zizhuyuan. The subordinates in Zizhuyuan have probably developed a calm temperament after many years of peaceful life. In other parts of the palace, people have long been panicked, but there is no tense atmosphere in Zizhuyuan. It looks no different than usual.
stayed until the afternoon, when Shen Qingru took the little bun that was tired of playing and fell asleep back to the Moon House.
As soon as she entered the house, Mai'er, who had stayed in the Forgotten Moon Residence, came up mysteriously, "The princess, someone from the Chen Guogong Mansion wants to take the concubine back." ”
"Oh? Did the side concubine go back? Shen Qingru asked.
Mai'er shook her head regretfully, "No, the side concubine was at the gate of the palace and told the people from Chen Guogong's mansion that she believed that the prince and the prince were innocent and would accompany the palace to get through the difficulties together." ”
Shen Qingru was a little surprised, Gong Lan was also very affectionate to the prince, and this kind of thing had nothing to do with the palace.
It's just that Shen Qingru's words were obviously early.
The next day, the palace was still surrounded by the Praetorian Guards.
Chen Guogong's Mansion sent someone over again, but Gong Lan still refused.
On the third day, the situation was still the same.
Three days passed, and many people who were originally optimistic about Prince Xiao's Mansion and thought that the palace would not commit treason, were shaken. Chen Guogong and his party kept making people spread rumors everywhere, how the prince and the prince were speechless in the main hall.
In addition, the old prince has been under house arrest in the palace for three days, and he has not come forward to say anything for the prince and Xiao Yuan. There were also two people stabbing outside, the second master and Qin Ziyan. The three of them became tigers, and many people felt that the palace was really finished this time.
On the evening of the third day, the servant sent by Chen Guogong's Mansion gave Gong Lan an ultimatum, if Gong Lan is not willing to go back tomorrow, then Guogong Mansion will no longer send people over.
Gong Lan had insomnia all night. On the fourth day, the situation in the palace did not improve. Prime Minister Lan also did not find evidence that could clear the charges of the palace.
Gong Lan sent someone to ask the old princess, but the old princess only said one sentence: let her choose.
Gong Lan gritted his teeth, took one last look at Tao Ranju, where he had lived for almost twenty years, and left with the little servant in Chen Guogong's mansion.
When Mai Er happily told Shen Qingru the news, Shen Qingru was feeding Xiao Baozi to eat, and he didn't say much when he heard it.
In the eyes of outsiders, the palace has committed such a great rebellious crime, and the punishment of the nine clans is light. Of course, Prince Xiao's Mansion is a royal bloodline, and it is impossible for the Nine Clans. But there are so many people in the palace, one is counted as one, and no one can escape.
Now, there is a living opportunity in front of Gong Lan, and it is understandable for her to make such a choice.
Gu Mansion, backyard.
Shen Ningru also had no sleep for a few days.
Everyone in the palace was worried, but Shen Ning was happy.
The palace has committed such a heinous crime, Shen Qingru is no longer the high-ranking princess of Prince Xiao, and is about to become a prisoner.
There is nothing more than this news that makes Shen Ningru happy.
As for the Hou Ye who was imprisoned in the prison, Shen Ningru didn't care at all.
From Hou Ye's letter of resignation to Fang's family, in Shen Ningru's heart, Hou Ye is not her father.
What's more, Hou Ye and Shen Qingru were in cahoots, and they ended up like this.
"Concubine Shen, the princess of the county is looking for you." The maid's words made the smile on Shen Ningru's face dissipate, and a cold light shot out of her eyes.
"Concubine Fang, let's hurry up, don't let the princess of the county wait." Although the maid lowered her head, her tone was not respectful at all.
Shen Ningru glared at her fiercely, "I know, I'll go over." ”
Bi Tong worriedly tidied up her clothes for Shen Ningru, her face full of worry, "The princess of the county doesn't want to punish the kneeling concubine again, right?" ”
Shen Ningru was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, and he just came out, and his knees were swollen.
Shen Ningru pursed her lips tightly and did not make a sound.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, Xiao Yueluo happened to sit on a chair for a long time, and the maid peeled grapes for her to eat.
Seeing Shen Ningru, Xiao Yueluo said angrily: "Why did you come now?" Come, peel the grapes for me. ”
The little maid on the side immediately gave way, and Shen Ningru pressed the humiliation, stood in the maid's position and picked up the grapes and was about to peel them.
Xiao Yueluo kicked her leg, not much strength, but it happened to kick Shen Ningru's knee, a heart-piercing pain, Shen Ningru's body was crooked, and it took a long time to recover.
"Who gave you permission to stand and peel off, kneel down for me!"
Shen Ning gritted her teeth, and Xiao Yueluo shouted: "Why, I don't listen to my words?" ”
Shen Ningru clenched her fists, her palms were poked with blood by her long nails, and there was a smell of blood in her mouth, and she lowered her head and replied, "Don't dare to concubine." ”
When the words fell, he knelt down beside Xiao Yueluo, and peeled the grapes on the plate with low eyebrows.
Xiao Yueluo snorted, too lazy to look at her.
There was a little maid over there and said, "Princess Jun, Aunt Qin is here." ”
Xiao Yueluo's face was ugly, and she glanced at Shen Ningru viciously, and then said impatiently: "Let her in." ”
Shen Ningru looked at Qin Ziyan who came in, and his face was like eating a fly.
Qin Ziyan looked at Shen Ningru and said to Xiao Yueluo: "The princess of the county is really going to enjoy it." I don't know what mistake Concubine Shen made, and the princess of the county punished her like this? ”
Xiao Yueluo snorted: "This princess is willing, what's the matter, you want to intercede for her?" ”
Qin Ziyan touched the Kodan on his nails and said, "It's not Concubine Shen, and the concubine can't enter the Gu Mansion, how can the concubine not be grateful to Concubine Shen?" ”
In the tone, it was gritted teeth.
Grateful? Qin Ziyan couldn't wait to scrape Shen Ningru and Gong Ling alive.
That day, Qin Ziyan was originally going to talk to Gu Xiao about things, but she met Gong Ling, and was threatened by Gong Ling to go to the room where Gu Qingxuan was sleeping.
At that time, Qin Ziyan didn't know that Gu Qingxuan was inside, Gong Ling only said that he wanted to find a quiet place to talk to her, and Qin Ziyan believed it.
After the incident, Gu Xiao suppressed the news.
And make the decision to leave Qin Ziyan in the Gu Mansion and make Gu Qingxuan small.
Qin Ziyan's identity in the palace has been exposed, and he has nowhere to go. I agreed half-pushed.
Chen Guogong saw that it was about to happen, and the Gu family would inevitably soar into the sky at that time. Committing to Gu Qingxuan is also a good choice for Qin Ziyan.
It's just that Shen Ningru and Gong Ling calculated her, and this account will always have to be recovered.
Qin Ziyan's rank is comparable to Xiao Yueluo, and Gu Qingxuan can't find the north in a few days.
Xiao Yueluo had a bad temper, and after she became pregnant, she would get angry at a little thing. Gu Qingxuan coaxed a few times, and then he became impatient.
Moreover, Xiao Yueluo is pregnant, so she can't have sex, and Gu Qingxuan is not allowed to eat secretly. Before, for the sake of Prince Xiao's mansion, he had always tolerated her.
Now seeing that Prince Xiao's Mansion Mansion is about to collapse, Xiao Yueluo's move has no effect, and she is even more reluctant to perfunctory her.
Qin Ziyan was as gentle as water, endearing and pitiful, and Gu Qingxuan's heart was transferred to Qin Ziyan's body.
even reprimanded Xiao Yueluo many times for Qin Ziyan, but fortunately, Xiao Yueluo was pregnant, maybe what was in her belly was the eldest son and grandson of Gu Fu, and with the eldest princess to protect her, Gu Qingxuan didn't dare to go too far.
In this way, Xiao Yueluo's days of being powerful in Gu Mansion are gone, and I know that Gu Qingxuan is the ancestral hall where Shen Ningru was drunk and drugged, and punished Shen Ningru for kneeling for three days.
As for Qin Ziyan, he lost his innocence, and he hated Shen Ningru even more.
Shen Ningru originally wanted to calculate Shen Qingru, but he was disrupted by others, not to mention the plan, and he ate the bitter fruit, and his days in the Gu Mansion were simply described as years of life.
Fortunately, the palace was even worse than her, and Shen Qingru's good days were over, so she gave Shen Ningru some comfort.
The more Qin Ziyan pleaded with Shen Ningru, the more Xiao Yueluo punished her even more.
"Hmph, the relationship between Aunt Qin and Concubine Shen is so good, why don't you help her together." Xiao Yueluo said angrily.
Qin Ziyan chuckled, "This is not good, if my knee is injured, the prince of the county will be distressed at night." ”
