"How is this possible?!" Song Yixiao was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tea bowl, she didn't know how many things were still in Jinxiutang, so she didn't doubt that Old Madam Duanmu had the ability to save Lu Hehao, what she doubted was, "Why did grandmother do this?!" ”

Strictly speaking, Lu Hehao, a common man, and Yanhou Mansion have never been directly hostile, the problem is that Cui Jianlian's matter was exposed by Lu Hehao.

This incident directly led to Emperor Duanhua forcing Jian Xubai to kill his wife - if Lu Hehao's people behind the scenes, in addition to Jian Pingyu, there was also an old lady Duanmu who had been hidden so far, why did she treat her grandson and granddaughter-in-law like this?

After all, Old Lady Duanmu's own biological flesh and blood are no longer alive, even if Jian Xubai's biological mother is indeed the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, not the lord of Yishui, but at least it is the bloodline of Jinxiutang, isn't it?

Taking a step back, if Old Lady Duanmu was hostile to Yanhou Mansion, wouldn't she just be a cold bystander when Jian Xubai was poisoned in Wuhuan? Why bother to save Jian Xubai?

Song Yixiao thought of this, and suddenly remembered one thing - when the old lady Duanmu had just returned to the imperial capital for treatment, she had a very kind attitude towards her husband and wife, but not long after, after the old lady was invited to the palace by the Empress Dowager Su for a secret talk, she suddenly changed her attitude towards Yanhou Mansion!

"Could it be that this grandmother really hates us for any reason?" Song Yixiao analyzed it again, Jian Xubai said before, what he knew about his life experience, his heart couldn't help jumping, "It is said that our couple has not done anything enough to make my grandmother hold a grudge, if there is a problem, I'm afraid, it is still from the previous generation, right?" ”

She thought of the preferences of her former mother-in-law, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom......

If Jian Xubai is really the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and Jian Limiao, then, is the county lord of Yishui really dying in childbirth?

Or the county lord of Yishui really died of dystocia, but what was the reason for her dystocia?

You must know that before the old lady Duanmu was exiled, she left a female doctor to take care of her daughter - Jinxiutang has the true biography of the divine doctor Ji Qu's illness at the end of the Wei Dynasty and the beginning of Yong, and the lord of Yishui is the only child of the old lady Duanmu who has lived to adulthood, how could the old lady Duanmu not invest in the health of this daughter?

From the news that Song Yixiao heard about this county lord, there was no such news that the main body of Yishui County was weak and sick.

It's Jane who leaves Miao, and he never leaves the medicine.

And the county lord of Yishui, who has been growing up under the care of the female doctors of Jinxiutang, has a very good foundation, and the probability of dying in dystocia is relatively low - but she died during childbirth!

Song Yixiao subconsciously tightened her sleeves: Is it because she knew the existence of Jian Xubai and was stimulated?

Or - related to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom?

It's not that Song Yixiao thinks badly of her former mother-in-law, in fact, Song Yixiao doesn't want the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to be this kind of person, after all, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom really doesn't treat her badly.

However, Jian Likuang's wife, Xiao Wen, seems to have been forced to leave the court by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, right?

At that time, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom took a fancy to Jian Likuang, what if she later took a fancy to Jian Limiao?

Xiao Wen was able to marry Jian Likuang because her aunt, Mrs. Wen, was Jian Pingyu's true love, but in fact, the lintel of the Wen family was very low. So after her husband was looked down upon by Jin Zhi Yuye, she had no choice but to pack up her baggage and go back to her parents' house.

But the county lord of Yishui is different, even if her maiden family Chengyang Wangfu has fallen, she is a serious clan lord in the end.

The most important thing is that Jian Limiao has a deep affection for this cousin, and for more than ten years after her death, she has always lived alone, not even a maid in the room, let alone continue the string.

So if the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom wants to get Jian Limiao, it is estimated that it will not work.

In this case, will the eldest princess consider letting the county lord of Yishui disappear in order to increase her chances of taking Jian Limiao into her pocket?

Song Yixiao's mind was swirling, and Su Shaoge spoke: "Old Madam Duanmu's heart, our Su family, can be regarded as a little bit of knowledge: what happened to Mrs. Yan Guotai back then, to be honest, is the same six valves, and we are also deeply indignant. It's just that the internal situation is very complicated, and we are powerless to help Mrs. Duanmu take revenge! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Song Yi and smiled, "By the way, does Grandma Song know about this?" ”

Song Yi smiled and heard Jian Xubai say it, but at this moment he said quietly: "Please also ask Second Prince Su to solve my doubts!" ”

Maybe there is another version of what Su Shaoge said?

But this time she was disappointed - Su Shaoge's words were no different from Jian Xubai's description, and only added a few sentences: "Actually, the first emperor was also very disgusted with Jian Lezhi, but at that time, the first emperor had just killed many clans, and he was worried that if he continued to pursue Jian Lezhi, it would make everyone in danger in the court!" At that time, the old lady Duanmu said that Jian Lezhi was very treacherous, otherwise he would not have coaxed Mrs. Yan Guotai to disobey her parents' orders, and she had to marry him! So the first emperor gave him a chance to breathe, and the hatred of Mrs. Yan Guotai probably couldn't count on the first emperor! ”

Later, the development of things was as expected by the old lady Duanmu: the first emperor had not yet repelled Jian Lezhi, and Jian Li left the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and gave birth to the third son of Jian. Jian Likuang had a reason, and in the name of the third son of Jian, he asked the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to intervene in this matter, and not to let the past be made public, so as not to make the third son of Jian in an embarrassing situation when he grows up. ”

When Su Shaoge said this, he sighed slightly, "Later, the first emperor secretly contacted the old lady Duanmu and expressed his willingness to hand over Jian Lezhi to the old lady in private. But I don't know why, the old lady didn't accept it, only said that the matter had come to this point, and only hoped that the royal family would be kind to Yanhou. This is also the reason why the Empress Dowager and the first emperor are particularly kind to Yanhou! ”

Song Yi frowned with a smile and said, "Let's talk about these past events later!" However, since you are suspicious of your grandmother, if this is really your grandmother's doing-obviously your grandmother doesn't have a good impression of our Yanhou Mansion, otherwise how can such a big event not be heard in the slightest? What's the use of talking to me about this? ”

"In my opinion, Old Lady Duanmu may not have any dislike for Yanhou Mansion." Su Shaoge said gently, "After all, Yanhou is the only grandchild of Old Lady Duanmu who is related by blood!" In fact, Grandma Song might as well think like this: The Empress Dowager is now in a hurry to abolish Jinshang, and even Lu Hehao, a concubine, has received the same treatment as the crown prince and King Su. The crown prince has a Wei family, not to mention King Su, so if the last person to ascend the throne is the concubine Lu Hehao - the old lady Duanmu herself is old and a woman, and the merit of supporting it will not be of much use, how can it not fall on the head of the Yanhou Mansion? ”

Song Yixiao's eyes flashed: "The Jinxiutang family, can they handle the Weisu family?" ”

It's not that she hasn't thought about this possibility, but even if she doesn't know much about the cards in Duanmu's old lady's hand, she also knows that the degree of preservation of the Splendid Hall after the extinction of the heir is definitely not as good as that of the Weisu family in the normal inheritance.

What's more, over the years, among the officials above the fourth rank in the court, there is no Duanmu's surname.

The Wei family and the Su family have always been high-ranking officials and eunuchs......

Old Madam Duanmu may be very important in the battle for the throne, but if she can single-handedly push Lu Hehao to the throne, Song Yixiao thought that this was unlikely.

What she could see, there was no reason why the old lady couldn't see it, why would she be so risky?

"Grandma Song has forgotten the Xiliang Shen, Donghu Liu, and the side branches of the Jiangnan Song clan that you just mentioned?" Su Shaoge asked rhetorically, "If these families join forces, even if Wei Su also forms an alliance, it will be a great headache!" ”

"It's just a headache!" Song Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "The Splendid Hall has been extinct for decades; The Shen and Liu families have guarded the tomb for three generations, and the power of the descendants at the top has long been faulted; Don't talk about the side branches of the Song family! The combination of these families may make you feel very tricky locally, but when it comes to the battle above the court, let's say that you defend the Soviet Union, and a single family is enough to have the absolute upper hand! So I don't think that my grandmother sent someone to rescue Lu Hehao, a concubine - even if this was done by my grandmother - she intended to support Lu Hehao as the emperor! After all, Lu Hehao is in the court and the opposition, not to mention prestige, his fame is very limited! ”

Even his most widespread fame now is because of the leak of his plot to usurp the throne, which has caused everyone to discuss.

Originally, Mrs. Duanmu had not been famous all these years, and how difficult it was to support such a prince who also did not have the conditions for a Ming monarch to come to power?

It's impossible!

"Actually, we thought it was unlikely." Su Shaoge was silent for a while and said, "However, we couldn't catch Lu Hehao, so there is no way to know what he said in his letter to the Empress Dowager?" ”

He also said, "Sikong Jia also asked, the letter that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Zhenyang got was sealed by fire paint, and the eldest princess did not have a way to read the letter without destroying the fire paint, so she could only send it to the queen mother as it was, so the eldest princess of Zhenyang didn't know what was written in the letter?" ”

He said slowly, "We're worried about whether there is any key news in that letter that will lead to accidents!" ”

Although at present, if Emperor Duanhua falls, the most advantageous one is the crown prince and King Su, in contrast, Lu Hehao, a concubine, has nothing to do with the word "advantage"!

But a prominent family like the Su family, which has gone through several dynasties, has more experience in changing dynasties, and the more careful they are in observing various subtle things.

Su Shaoge would definitely not confidently think that this person was not a threat because of Lu Hehao's current weakness.

"In this way, he coaxed me over today, but it wasn't all because his husband would attend the court meeting in the palace, and he couldn't wait for his husband to go to court." Song Yixiao squinted slightly, and said in her heart, "I'm afraid I also think that I am a person who has been pitted by Lu Hehao, and I am more hostile to Lu Hehao, so naturally I don't want Lu Hehao to ascend the throne - want to persuade my husband and grandmother through me?" ”

She turned her mind and said, "Although there is no way to know what was written in the letter from the concubine Lu Hehao to the Empress Dowager, judging from the Empress Dowager's reaction, it must be Your Majesty who provoked the Empress Dowager's anger somewhere!" So, could it be that the death of Aunt Daiguo was not instigated by Lu Hehao, but completely from the hands of His Majesty? ”

"There is also the bad news that caused our second aunt to stay on the bed to this day: the third brother's family was killed in Liaozhou!"

"Is it also related to His Majesty?"

Su Shaoge said calmly; "It's possible, but it may not be - but it's too big to be surprised, what does Grandma Song think?"

Song Yixiao understood what he meant, in the case of arresting Lu Hehao to no avail, whether it was the Su family or the Wei family, there would definitely be some speculation.

It's just that speculation is always speculation, and whether to guess the truth or not can only rely on luck.

But there is such a thing as a usurpation of the throne......

Pure luck must have died a miserable death.

"Since the Wei family is also involved, and now that King Xiang has been assassinated, it is troublesome whether King Su returns or not." Song Yixiao rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "The Su family is also worried about His Majesty, could it be that the Wei family has already made an appointment with you, and after King Su arrives in the imperial capital, he will abolish His Majesty one piece, and then care about who will be the new monarch?" ”

"Even if the Wei family is willing to say this, our Su family may not be willing to believe it." Su Shaoge smiled, "Now they can't wait to take advantage of Gu Shao's ignorance to eradicate our Su family with the help of this prime minister!" ”

After a pause, he said, "But of course we won't sit still - we made an appointment with grandma today just to consider it in the future, and the current situation, please grandma just watch!" ”
