Du's mother immediately retreated with the servants in the house. Only Mrs. Tai, Xu Lingyi, the third master, the fifth master and the eleventh mother were left in the house.

Eleven Niang refilled the hot tea for everyone. Standing behind Mrs. Tai.

Xu Lingyi looked at Mrs. Tai: "Mother, first tell me about your situation in the palace!" ”

Mrs. Tai bowed slightly. may have thought of the meeting with her daughter, and her eyes moistened a little: "The queen mother said that the emperor has thoroughly investigated." The fifth prince had a bad stomach, and as a result, the hospital misdiagnosed him with dysentery, and he didn't dare to use medicine for the sake of stability, which delayed the ...... of the condition."

When the fifth master heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "These quacks also treated Mrs. Wei, the mother of Lord Feng Chengwei in Dali, to death last time." It should be given to the emperor and beheaded them all over the house. ”

When the third master heard this, he coughed lightly.

The fifth master glanced at Xu Lingyi, who was expressionless, and closed his mouth a little boredly.

"Since the emperor has said so, don't think too much and guess more." Xu Lingyi slowly opened her mouth, "When something like this happens, everyone is staring at our family." Third brother," his gaze fell on the third master, "you have to take care of the affairs of the family, especially don't say anything that shouldn't be said." If you hear any gossip, you should know how to deal with it. ”

The third master immediately said: "I summoned several stewards overnight to instruct them." Especially the stewards of the department. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded.

The third master got up: "Without further ado." I'm going to gather the stewards. He added, "Looking at this day, it is estimated that the person who went to Xishan to pick up the second sister-in-law should also come back, and I just went to greet him." ”

"Go ahead!" Xu Lingyi responded. The third master stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai and withdrew.

When I walked to the door, I met the third lady: "Why did you turn back again!" ”

"Am I not worried about you?" The third lady looked towards the inner courtyard, "What did you say?" ”

"Stand here and hit people in the eye." The third master pulled the third lady out, "Let's talk as we walk." ”

The third lady said "um" and followed her husband out.

"Didn't say anything!" The third master told the third lady Xu Lingyi's words, "...... Let me give a command to the stewards. ”

The third lady pursed her lips when she heard this: "I don't believe it. is such a big living person, but he was lost to the doctor. ”

The third master didn't make a sound.

The third lady poked her husband: "Hey, what is Eleven Niang doing inside?" ”

The third master didn't know his wife's thoughts, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb and said: "The maid and the mother-in-law are not here, and the fourth brother asked me to help serve tea and pour water." ”

"I don't believe it." The third lady said, but her voice regained her previous spirit, "When will the second sister-in-law arrive?" ”

"I'm about to greet you!"

"I'll go with you!" The third lady's voice was faintly excited.

Xu Lingyi in the house saw that the third master was gone, so he set his eyes on the fifth master: "Tomorrow I will cry and mourn in Sishanmen, you will stay there honestly for me, if you run around, you will quit my errand and stay at home, and you will not be allowed to go anywhere from now on!" ”

The fifth master's eyes widened: "I didn't do anything......

Xu Lingyi's eyes were cold.

The fifth master immediately froze and whispered, "Got it." ”

A reluctant look.

Mrs. Tai couldn't help sighing when she looked at it, and said to Eleven Niang: "You go and make us a new cup of tea." ”

Eleven Niang went in response, and saw that there was no one outside the hall, so she stood quietly outside the fan and listened to a few words.

"Ling Kuan, you are a good boy." Mrs. Tai's voice was a little lower than usual, as if she was afraid of being heard, "straightforward and sincere." When others look at you as a righteous man and a gentleman, they can't help but deceive you. Don't say anything else. Let's just talk about Wang Lang. He grew up with you since childhood, you treat him like a brother, and I treat him like a nephew. But he killed someone, but he tricked you into going, and wanted to rely on you and make you go to atonement. If it weren't for your fourth brother's quick reaction, how would it end when you said that? ”

No wonder he wanted to support himself, it turned out that Wang Lang was involved.

If it is really as Mrs. Tai said, then it makes sense for the Xu and Wang families to turn their faces......

"Mother," there was a thick guilt in the fifth master's voice, "I know it's wrong." Don't dare anymore! ”

"If you have a heart or not, you will naturally be fooled." There was no blame in Mrs. Tai's voice, only worry, "My mother is old now, and she can't stand these things anymore." Hello, don't listen to those gossip, take care of those idle things, my mother can live a few more comfortable days with peace of mind. Your fourth brother is also worried about you, afraid that you will get together with those people again. ”

"Mother," the fifth master promised again and again. "I'll definitely stay in the office and don't run around."

"You follow your fourth brother, where your fourth brother rests, you rest......"

Eleven Niang had already heard what she wanted to hear, and turned around to make hot tea, but saw the third master and the third lady walking in with a tall woman wearing a white fox cloak.

"Fourth brother and sister, see who is back?" The third lady's tone was tinged with a hint of schadenfreude.

Eleven Niang looked at it and saw that it was the second lady.

"Second sister-in-law, you're back!" Eleven Niang greeted her politely, and Mrs. Yu said: "Mother, the second sister-in-law is back!" ”

"Come in! Come on in! There was a faint surprise in Mrs. Tai's voice, the fifth master had already lifted the curtain, and the wind blew over, "Second sister-in-law." ”

The second lady untied her cloak, revealing her beautiful face.

"Fifth brother, is Danyang okay?" She smiled and greeted the fifth master.

The fifth master was surprised: "It's all Danyang who is too capricious......"

"What nonsense?" The second lady looked gentle, "Is my mother's body okay?" He shifted the subject to the inner room.

The fifth master hurriedly helped her lift the curtain: "Mother is fine!" ”

Everyone hugged her and walked in.

Eleven Niang went to make hot tea and brought it in, and the second lady and others had already sat down in priority and were talking about the funeral of the five princes. Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, the third lady got up to help serve tea, and the topic was interrupted.

After serving the tea, the third master took a sip and put down the teacup: "Let's go first-I still have something to do!" Then he glanced at the Third Lady.

The third lady didn't want to leave, but seeing her husband's resolute attitude, she stood up and left with the third master.

"You've rested earlier, too!" When Mrs. Tai saw it, she said to the fifth master, "Danyang is alone in the back garden, and I don't feel at ease." ”

The fifth master got up and responded "yes", waved at the people in the house, and went back to the back garden.

Xu Lingyi pointed to the Taishi chair where the fifth master was sitting and said to Eleven Niang: "You can sit too!" ”

The second lady raised her eyelids and glanced at Eleven Niang quickly. He quickly lowered his eyelids and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

Eleven Niang was quite surprised.

I didn't expect ...... I was qualified to attend the high-end meeting of the Xu family so quickly.

She replied "yes" respectfully, and half-sat on the Taishi chair with the modest attitude of a newcomer.

"Yizhen is back too." Mrs. Tai looked at Xu Lingyi with a solemn expression, "Say, what's going on?" ”

Xu Lingyi's expression was solemn: "As soon as I heard that something had happened to the fifth prince, I sent someone to find the fifth prince's nurse, Mother Shen, and her personal attendant Quande, but it was still a step too late - Mother Shen committed suicide by taking poison, and Quande fell into the water." I was afraid that the queen mother would be excited and say something resentful to share with the emperor, so I had to ask the people in the hospital to find a way, and it would be delayed for a few days no matter what. He also suggested to the emperor that the five princes were sick due to eating, and it was best to send the queen mother, the eldest prince, and the third prince out of the palace temporarily, so as not to cause any more trouble. The emperor probably felt that this matter was strange in his heart, so he agreed immediately without saying a word. also made an excuse that the third prince was unwell, so he asked the queen to take him to Xishan to soak in the hot springs. The five princes have been naughty for the past two days, and they are being taught by the master, so as not to see that they are clamoring to go, so that the five princes will not come to resign. After two days, the five princes will also be sent to Xishan. The queen mother was not suspicious, and took the three princes to the palace in Xishan. Two days later, the fifth prince died of illness. The emperor kept it a secret, touched the melon along the vine, and touched the Cining Palace......"

Eleven Niang's heart tightened when she listened.

The queen mother will not hide it from her mother, and the "truth" that the five princes died due to improper medication should be told to her by the emperor...... Looks like. The emperor is not ready to pursue this matter. That's why there is Prince Litong......

She suddenly felt a little cold.

"That's not right!" Mrs. Tai said suddenly, "Since you have taken such a risk to harm your sister-in-law, how can you abandon your eldest son and become a young son?" It doesn't make sense......"

Eleven Niang felt that what Mrs. Tai said was reasonable.

If you are not careful, you will treat your benefactor as an enemy, and treat your enemy as a benefactor...... Although she had not experienced it, she had read about it in those historical records.

"The eldest prince is fourteen years old this year," the second lady muttered. "The third prince is also eleven years old this year. They were all born in the Prince's Mansion, and they saw with their own eyes how their father went from prince to prince to Jiuding. The five princes are different, when he was sensible, his father was already the emperor, his mother was the queen, and he was one of the most noble people in the world...... He's only five years old after all......"

The second lady implicitly expressed her opinion - the eldest prince and the third prince are older, they know a little about the affairs of the palace, and they also have some city government, so they are not so easy to be manipulated by others. The fifth prince, who is only five years old, is still naïve and has a good age and mentality, and it is easy to start.

“…… What's more, even if something happens to the eldest prince, it will not affect the status of the third prince and the fifth prince. As long as the emperor and queen are affectionate, there is still a chance to give birth to a prince......"

Eleven Niang listened and her heart moved.

Xu Lingyi once said that the queen mother respects the emperor as a husband rather than the same awe as the emperor, on the one hand, it shows that the queen mother still maintains a girlish innocence, and on the other hand, it also shows that the emperor's relationship mode will not be so hierarchical. Can it be said that they live like ordinary couples, and while they are loving and sweet, they will quarrel and even be angry like ordinary people......

Therefore, this strategy is not to kill the concubine, but to make the emperor turn against him. Because the queen who does not have a concubine is certainly suspected of being unstable, but the son of the queen can be abolished, I am afraid that the status is more embarrassing than that of the sons of those lowly concubines, and there is no need to be afraid.

She thought of the scene she saw in Kunning Palace - the emperor has only been on the throne for four years, in addition to Zhang Jieyu and Yu Meiren, who are the old people of the original palace and were sealed because of the birth of a child, there is a new imperial concubine, two concubines, one Jieyu, and one beauty...... Like most men, the emperor, while enjoying power, began to enjoy women.
