Jian Xubai said hesitantly: "Of course, my grandmother wants to seek justice for my father and grandmother, but this matter was suppressed by Shentu Guifei relying on the emperor's favor!" ”

"But isn't Concubine Shentu the cousin of King Chengyang?" Song Yixiao was surprised, "Could it be that she has a personal grudge against her grandmother?!" ”

"It's not a personal grudge." Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "It's that Concubine Shentu was planning to let her son inherit the throne at that time, and wanted to use this matter to blackmail her grandfather to support their mother and son, so she refused to let her grandmother publicize it." ”

Song Yi asked with a puzzled smile: "So, grandfather agreed at that time?" But why did after the defeat of Shentu Guifei, my grandfather was in the hands of the first emperor, and he was once a very popular minister? And the Jian family was not implicated in any way? ”

"That's what grandfather did." Jian said lightly, "He first relied on Shentu Guifei, but after gaining the trust of Shentu Guifei, he defected to the imperial uncle and made great contributions to the imperial uncle's accession to the throne - in this way, the imperial grandmother and the imperial uncle, although they disliked him very much, remained silent on the matter of the second uncle's life experience. ”

Moreover, "Later, the third brother was born, and for the sake of the third brother, this matter was not mentioned." ”

talked about this, he simply said a few more words, "In fact, after the imperial uncle ascended the throne, the Chengyang Royal Mansion collapsed, and the reason why my grandmother was able to survive with a few concubines was not only because of the imperial uncle's intercession. It is also because after her grandmother was disheartened with Concubine Shentu, she privately supported her imperial uncle. ”

Song Yixiao felt that the old lady Duanmu was too miserable: "But didn't my grandmother be exiled in the end?" ”

also contributed to Emperor Xianjia's accession to the throne, Jian Pingyu was in the Xianjia Dynasty, but he was a very popular minister, and he drove Gu Shao away. Although he also returned to his hometown later, he finally retreated - it wasn't until Duanhua Chao that he "died"?

On the other hand, the old lady Duanmu was exiled for several years, only because her daughter Yishui County Lord died in childbirth, and her son-in-law was on the table and changed to Shoudi Mausoleum!

He guarded the imperial tomb for more than ten years, and only got the permission of the empress dowager in the first two years, and brought three juniors to the imperial capital to recuperate. Among them, the granddaughter accompanied Jian Yi to Liaozhou this year!

Song Yixiao originally respected the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia, but at this moment, comparing Jian Pingyu and Old Madam Duanmu, she couldn't help but feel that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia were a little favoritism.

But when Jian Xubai heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Back then, the emperor's grandmother and uncle actually only wanted to exile the heirs of King Chengyang, leave their grandmother in the imperial capital, be supported by their father's mother, and even return their grandmother's private property to their grandmother. But because my grandmother couldn't get justice for my grandmother and father, she was angry and decided to go to Saiwai with her children! ”

As for the later Emperor Shou's Mausoleum, it was Jian Limiao who repeatedly wrote letters and begged, and the old lady Duanmu agreed.

Song Yi smiled and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Grandmother...... Suffered all these years! ”

In fact, what she really wanted to say was: Even if she couldn't seek justice for Mrs. Yan Guotai and Jian Limiao, Old Madam Duanmu wouldn't have to leave the imperial capital to go to Saiwai at that time, right?

The old lady is not worried, after she leaves, will Jian Pingyu suppress the third room with filial piety?

"Actually, my grandmother didn't do it all because she was angry." But I heard Jian Xubai whisper, "Do you remember what your grandmother deliberately said to us in the past before Kaienke?" ”

Song Yi smiled and thought for a while: "You mean...... Shen Liu's son? ”

She thought of something all of a sudden, and her face couldn't help but change slightly!

"In the years when my grandmother was outside the Saiwai, she had a close relationship with the Shen family and the Liu family." Jian Xubai sighed, "Dad is very suspicious that my grandmother wants to unite the two families to do something, thinking that my grandmother is avenging - after all, not long after my father was born, my grandmother is gone, and over the years, my father and grandmother have always suspected that it was my grandfather's hand - but you also know that the imperial uncle has always been shrewd, and my father is very worried that my grandmother's plan will be seen through by the imperial uncle, so he has repeatedly begged my grandmother to stop." ”

The old lady Duanmu ignored it at first, but later the lord of Yishui County died in childbirth, and even the child was said to be gone, the old lady was very sad and regretted that she did not stay in the imperial capital to watch her daughter, so that the white-haired person sent the black-haired person not to mention, and the mother and daughter did not even meet for the last time.

Only then did she promise not to stay outside the Saiwai, but the old lady Duanmu did do something that was not tolerated by the royal family in the past few years, and because she was worried about implicating Jian Limiao, she did not return to the imperial capital directly, but found a way to go to the imperial tomb.

This is also the reason why the husband and wife went to invite her to Yanguo Mansion last time, but she refused to agree.

In the final analysis, she is afraid of affecting the younger generations she cares about.

Jian Xubai said this, was silent for a while, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "This is the past that my father told me in private, but now it seems that it is true or false, and it is not easy to say." ”

After all, there are two versions of his life experience, who knows if this past has been changed by others again, and what secrets are hidden that the elders don't want him to know?

Song Yi smiled and groaned, "Can you go and ask the second aunt?" "Jian Limiao is still guarding filial piety in Liaozhou, and the old lady Duanmu doesn't get along much with them, and her familiarity is limited, and the most suitable person to ask for advice at the moment is still the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

“…… Let's go over there and have a look. Hearing this, Jian Xubai showed a complicated expression, and paused before saying, "The second aunt has not been in good health for the past few months, and I am afraid that it will be too abrupt to say such a thing rashly." ”

Regardless of whether the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is his own mother or not, the feelings over the years have always been true, although he very much wants to know the truth, but he doesn't want to make things worse for this elder.

Neither of them slept well that night.

Early the next morning, when they were freshened up, they received a message: Yuan Xuepei was also taken to prison!

This is a reasonable thing, not to mention what Yuan Xuepei has done with King Liang in private these days, just that after Wei Mengying was assassinated, Emperor Duanhua sent Yuan Xuepei to investigate the truth - he told the emperor that everything was done by Mrs. Pang, and it had nothing to do with Song Lu's mother and son, so Emperor Duanhua was relieved to give Song Lu's family a bias.

As a result, now Song Lu himself confessed that she did all this, but Mrs. Pang was the one who was wronged.

How could Emperor Duanhua not ask Yuan Xuepei about the crime of bullying the king?

It was also yesterday that Gu Shao admonished for too long, and Emperor Duanhua later thought about telling King Liang to understand, so that Yuan Xuepei went back from the Yanguo Mansion safely, otherwise this Marquis of Boling would have gone to the edict yesterday to be with King Liang.

It's just that the husband and wife are not surprised by this result, but Yuan Xuepei has such a thing, and the Marquis of Boling's Mansion has been besieged like the Liang Wang's Mansion, and the two families have always been good friends, and now they can't say that they just look at it like this.

With the intention of staying in the eldest princess's mansion of the Jin Kingdom temporarily, he went separately - Jian Xubai went to Emperor Duanhua to see if he could intercede with Yuan Xuepei; Song Yixiao went to the Marquis of Boling's Mansion to appease Jiang Muyao.

However, Jian Xubai entered the palace smoothly, but Song Yixiao's carriage was stopped outside the Marquis of Boling's mansion.

The guards guarding here spoke very politely, but their attitude was not reversed: although the emperor did not intend to send the family members of King Liang and Yuan Xuepei to prison yet, without the permission of the Holy Order, they did not dare to let people in to visit them rashly.

Song Yixiao pondered in the carriage for a while, and asked through the curtain: "Then I will write a letter to Sister Jiang, can you help deliver it?" I don't keep my mouth shut. ”

The guard thought about it, but still shook his head: "Please forgive me, Madame, without Your Majesty's permission, the last general will not dare to act without permission!" ”

Song Yixiao knew that the matter was serious, and this guard really didn't dare to do favors casually, sighed secretly, and was about to order to go back to the house, but on the street at the other end, a group of people also came - it was Yuan Xuexu who received the news, regardless of her heavy pregnancy, and went back to her parents' house to visit.

Of course, like Song Yixiao, she was stopped outside, not to mention letters, and she couldn't even deliver a message.

The brothers and sisters of the Yuan family lost their parents at a young age, and Yuan Xuecao was able to become an adult thanks to the eldest brother's support, and the relationship between brother and sister is of course very deep.

She was actually not in a hurry to go into the house to see her sister-in-law, but was more concerned about her brother who had been imprisoned, and when she saw that the entanglement was fruitless, she cried on the spot: "My brother hurt his leg and can't enter the government at all, how can he commit such a big thing?!" ”

Seeing this, Song Yi smiled and hurriedly asked someone to take a hat to put on herself, and got out of the car and went to her carriage to comfort: "My husband has already entered the palace to ask to see Your Majesty, why don't my sister go to Yanguo Mansion with me, let's wait for news together!" ”

Yuan Xuexu was worried, but she didn't refuse when she heard the words, wiped her face indiscriminately, and nodded at her gratefully: "Thanks to you couple!" ”

The two of them entered the Yanguo Mansion on the front foot, but they received news on the back foot that King Hengshan had also entered the palace with his young son Lu Guanyun, who was crying in front of Emperor Duanhua that his step-concubine had died unjustly.

Song Yi smiled when he heard this, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "I know!" "Send your men down.

Yuan Xuecao's mind has always been relatively simple, but now it is said outside that King Liang was imprisoned yesterday because King Liang instructed Song Lu to force the eldest princess and his wife to death, and since Song Lu can do such a thing for King Liang, then when she planned to assassinate Princess Wei, it is likely that she also received King Liang's support; Today, Yuan Xuepei was also detained, how could she not think that her brother probably had anything to do with King Liang?

I became nervous at the moment: "Shanyao, is what your mother's stepmother said true?" My brother...... Does my brother have anything to do with your mother's death? ”

"Now that there is no permission in the palace to come out, who knows if it is true or false? You also know that my stepmother is trying to get into trouble with me, she can even give up her own flesh and blood, what else can't she say? Song Yixiao didn't want her to worry about it, after all, Yuan Xuexu was already seven or eight months pregnant, although she had always been in good health, she couldn't help but be emotional on her eyes, so she said in a casual tone as much as possible, "Don't worry!" It's useless for us to think about it here, the left and right husbands are already in the palace at the moment, let's wait a while, maybe he'll be back! ”

It's good to say that Yuan Xuecao was appeased, and Song Yixiao asked someone to bring Jian Qingyue and the other three children over to accompany them, and the children didn't know how to worry, and they frolicked not long after they arrived.

Seeing their carefree appearance, the two of them felt more or less relaxed.

In the afternoon, the children had eaten and were going to take a nap, but Jian Xubai had not come back yet, Yuan Xuexu's heart gradually became anxious again, and she couldn't help but say: "Why don't I go to the Imperial Prison to see, can I meet my brother?" ”

"The Marquis of Boling's Mansion won't let you enter, let alone the edict?" Song Yixiao poured her a cup of rose dew and persuaded, "Wait a little longer, maybe it was because of the prince of Hengshan entering the palace that he delayed her husband's speech to Your Majesty." ”

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yuan Xuexu couldn't wait any longer - finally took three steps and walked into the courtyard to say: "Grandpa is back!" ”
