Chapter Seventy-Three: Near Death and Survival
Imperial capital, East Palace.
Liu, who rarely came over, looked at Liu Ruo's 'jade' pale face 'color', and said distressedly: "Why is the 'color' of qi like this?" Because now there are only two cousins in the inner room, Liu also asked bluntly, "But the prince is ...... Bad for you again? ”
Liu Ruo'yu smiled faintly, then the whole country knows when the prince who is faint and unscrupulous has treated himself well? But she doesn't care about this very much, she has been in the hands of her stepmother for more than ten years, Zhang Shaoguang's mother's 'daughter' is a 'door' to torture her, and the means are much more ruthless than Shen Xun's. Shen Xun's beating and scolding, Liu Ruo's 'jade' didn't pay attention to it at all, but even if she had to take care of it, in her heart, she was ranked second to Zhang Shaoguang's mother and 'daughter'.
She avoided this topic a little tiredly, and said: "The lotus 'flower' cake brought by the seventh sister this time looks like it was made by the seventh sister, but there is a difference when you look closely...... Did Jing'er do it? She's already learning to cook? ”
"Isn't it?" Liu Shi saw that she didn't want to talk more about the prince, sighed in her heart, and didn't ask any more - Liu Ruo's 'jade' didn't have the prince in her heart, and she was impatient to spend her time on the prince, and she used all the methods she taught her to compete for favor and please the queen...... Besides, the prince is looking for that person, and he will not be able to easily win him over if he has to compete for favor. No matter how distressed Liu is in this matter, Liu Ruo's 'jade' is also powerless.
At this moment, I had to change the topic along Liu Ruo's 'jade', "Originally, she also wanted to come to see you with me this time, but you sent someone to tell her not to come......
"When there is a banquet in Weiyang Palace in the future, Seventh Sister, you will lead her into the palace again, and it will be the same to meet in front of the queen." Liu Ruo's 'jade' replied indifferently, "Jing'er has always been soft-hearted, you see my crooked appearance all day long, if she sees it, she doesn't have to make her sad, why bother?" ”
In fact, the real reason why she suggested not to take Shen Shujing into the palace was clear to the two sisters - the prince even seemed to have the intention of getting involved with his mother-in-law Zhang Shaoguang, not to mention others? Shen Shujing is twelve years old, dignified and beautiful, Liu and Liu Ruo's 'jade' don't want her to be seen by the prince and give birth to right and wrong.
Liu Shi thought that Liu Ruo's 'jade' had married such a person, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he was silent for a while, and said, "Not long ago, I heard that you were seriously ill again...... Is it okay now? ”
"I was very sick last time, and I was almost going to go." Hearing her ask about the "serious illness" a few days ago, Liu Ruo's 'jade' eyes moved, and there seemed to be a tremor in her deliberately indifferent tone, "It's a loss...... Well, okay. ”
Liu Ruo's 'jade' has been unwilling to 'reveal' any grievances in front of her cousin Liu Ruoyi since her 'temperament' has changed greatly, and now seeing that she will say that she was almost sick last time, Liu Shi didn't feel the 'color' change, and said: "What? How so? ”
Liu knew that Liu Ruo's 'jade' fell ill twice in three days, and five or six out of ten were caused by the prince's bullying, so when he heard it, he suspected that Liu Ruo's 'jade' was heavily handed by the prince - she took Liu Ruo's 'jade' hand without saying a word, pulled up her sleeves, and sure enough, she saw a pinch mark on the snow-white elbow, black and purple, and it was terrible.
Liu was so angry that tears were about to fall: "What about the prince?" How precious is our Donghu Liu's daughter-in-law, can he be beaten and scolded at will like a slave? Even the Holy One has never been so mean to the ministers! "Angry from the heart, the Liu family doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, pulling Liu Ruo's 'jade' to get up and go to Weiyang Palace to reason with the queen, "You go with me to see the queen!" I want to ask the queen, what kind of rule is it for the grand prince to marry the crown princess who has passed the 'door' with the royal three media and six certificates, what kind of rule is this? Has the saint ever treated the queen like this?! ”
"Seventh sister, don't worry, it's not the prince who 'got it'." Liu Ruo'yu hurriedly broke away from her hand and reminded, "Seventh sister, look at the direction of this pinch, I 'made......' it myself."
Liu Shi was stunned, stopped and looked closely, it really didn't seem to be done by outsiders, she was stunned, and couldn't help but be anxious: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I couldn't think about it during my last illness, so I pinched it a few times." Liu Ruo'yu sighed lightly - of course the truth is not like this, and the truth cannot be told to the Liu family......
On that day, Liu Ruo' 'Yu' received a letter from Wei Xinyong and learned that Wei Changjuan was forcibly occupied by the prince, so he immediately rushed to Weiyang Palace to report to Queen Gu. Originally, she wanted to use the queen's hand to seize this opportunity to eradicate the initiator Zhang Shaoguang's mother and 'daughter', but Queen Gu was afraid that Zhang Shaoguang's mother and 'daughter' were dying and struggling, which would be unfavorable to the prince.
Liu Ruo's 'jade' is naturally unwilling!
Let's not say that she couldn't swallow this breath when she died before Zhang Shaoguang's mother's 'daughter', let's talk about Queen Gu's promise...... Liu Ruoye dared to calculate that the prince forcibly occupied Wei Changjuan - such a good opportunity, the queen chose not to turn her face with Zhang Shaoguang, and in the future, the prince Liu Sihuai assisted the prince to ascend the throne and made great contributions, can Queen Gu not forget such a trivial matter to the clouds? At that time, can Liu Ruo's 'jade' really turn into a powerful ghost and run out of Huangquan to strangle Queen Gu?
If this is the case, as early as when Zhang Shaoguang treated Liu Ruo's 'jade', this stepmother and Liu Hai killed Zhang Shaoyang's unjust soul......
Therefore, Liu Ruo's 'jade' did not hesitate to refuse Queen Gu's request!
Of course, Queen Gu's request was not so easy to refuse, seeing that Liu Ruo's 'jade' was disobedient, Queen Gu immediately called her confidant to "help the princess understand the righteousness".
At the critical moment, Liu Ruo's 'jade' didn't think much about it, and directly dragged Wei Xinyong into the water, making it clear that the letter was from Wei Xinyong. And he has been exchanging letters with Wei Xinyong for a while - in order to make Queen Gu have enough fear, Liu Ruo's 'jade' and 'sex' don't even want to be famous, and directly hinted to the queen that she has a lot to do with Wei Xinyong, and if she dies violently in the palace, Wei Xinyong will not let Queen Gu's mother and son have a good time!
If it was just such a threat, with no evidence, it would be impossible for a person like Queen Gu to be easily intimidated, and even though she was angry, she still did not change her mind to bear the charge. But Liu Ruo's 'jade' sneered and told the queen that Wei Changjuan's suicide note was in Wei Xinyong's hands! There is a detailed story of the prince forcibly seizing her and causing her to become pregnant out of wedlock!
The infighting of the Wei family is known to both the government and the opposition. Wei Xinyong originally belonged to the faction of Old Madam Song, and he would not be willing to rush into battle to promote such a big thing as Yi Chu when Rui Yutang was still in decline. But after Wei Zhenghong recovered, Mrs. Song was originally a person who was extremely partial to her own flesh and blood, and she could not even be looked down upon by her descendants, let alone Wei Xinyong, whose blood was far from her and Wei Huan.
And Wei Xinyong is talented and good-looking, long-sleeved and good at dancing, how can he be willing to become Wei Zhenghong's foil?
Didn't this daring kid even seduce the crown princess?!
He took Wei Changjuan's suicide note, who said that he couldn't do it to announce the truth, forcing Wei Huan to fight to the death with Queen Gu, and profit from it?
There is no drag on this person alone, in the mind of Queen Gu, Wei Xinyong is ambitious, but whether it is in Zhibentang or Ruiyu Hall, he is pressed by characters such as Jingcheng Hou and Changshan Gong. Jingchenghou and Changshan Gong have children and grandchildren, and it is too late to take care of their own children and grandchildren, where will they cultivate him wholeheartedly? The more 'colorful' he is, these two elders are afraid that it will be too late to suppress him! After all, both sides have their own biological blood and blood to count on, and the Wei family and the two halls are not like the Donghu Liu clan and the Xiliang Shen clan, where the Rong and Di people help them test the ability of the valve master.
This kind of person who has nothing but talent is the most likely to take risks in order to get ahead!
But Wei Xinyong dared to take risks, but Queen Gu didn't dare - she was just a son of the prince, even if she already had several grandchildren, but there were so many princes in the saint, and there was no one in the prince's sons who were particularly liked by the saint. Once the crown prince loses the throne, according to the situation of instability today, how can the saint establish the emperor and grandson?
The most terrible thing is that in addition to the crown prince, the saint's favorite one now is Yiwang Shenbo.
Shen Bo and Queen Gu have a harmful mother's enmity, he succeeded to the throne, Queen Gu's mother and son will definitely not be good, and even the Hongzhou Gu family is afraid that they will be involved!
Thinking of Shen Bo, Queen Gu couldn't help but think deeply: Shen Bo had repeatedly asked to marry Wei Lingyue of Zhibentang as Queen Yi before, but he had blocked him at that time. Although this Wei Changjuan is from Ruiyutang, she and Wei Lingyue are both the 'daughters' of the Wei family in Fengzhou. Even if Shen Bo couldn't think of it, Deng Guifei would not let go of this opportunity to remind the saint that the prince was deliberately unable to get along with his younger brother, and when his younger brother had not married the future Queen Wei to the 'door', he would first spoil the future sister-in-law, so that Shen Bo would have no face?
Of course, the saint himself is so 'lustful' that he may not take such a thing very seriously. But this is an opportunity for Shenbo and Deng Guifei to take advantage of the topic......
The most important thing is Fengzhou Wei!
Since Wei Changjuan died, he obviously didn't want to have trouble before Wei Zhenghong fully recovered and officially became a leader. This is also because Wei Changjuan's room is not treated by Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song has no concern about the life or death of this concubine's 'daughter', so she did not pursue it. But if the matter is announced, the Wei family will have to ask the prince to give a 'handover' for the sake of face. With Queen Gu's understanding of the Valle Reading Family, she absolutely, absolutely didn't want to fight with the Wei family like this!
Because this is the shame of the Wei clan, not only a Ruiyu Hall, but also the large and small branch branches of the Wei clan that have been separated over the centuries will all share the same hatred!
And other valves will not sit idly by.
Wei Changjuan is a serious 'woman' of Valve, she represents the dignity of Valve's noble 'woman', but she was trampled on by the prince. No matter what the other five valves in the sea think, whether they really agree with Yi Chu or not, they will not just watch the Wei family talk to the royal family alone, at least they will support the Wei family on the scene - even if Empress Gu manages the Hongzhou Gu family into the most prosperous meeting of the Deng family, she will definitely not be able to cope with it.
So Empress Gu has only two choices: one is to kill Wei Xinyong together; The second is forbearance!
The queen has been in the palace for many years, and she has defeated countless favorite concubines and concubines, and she has been in charge of the six palaces for a long time, so she naturally prefers the first choice.
However, Wei Xinyong has been dormant under the Marquis of Jingcheng for many years, and has been preparing for the Marquis of Jingcheng to discover his hatred and murderous intentions for Zhibentang, and send someone to send him to see his father and sister.
Moreover, after Wei Xinyong killed someone, he also ordered someone to secretly throw the body not far from the back 'door' of the Gu family's mansion in the imperial capital in Hongzhou......
With such an obvious warning, such an unscrupulous threat, Empress Gu no longer had the courage to make a move.
So she can only endure.
Even if the crown princess Liu Ruo' 'Yu' proudly told her that she didn't like the prince at all, but liked the handsome and talented Wei Xinyong very much, the words were that the two had already hooked up and become a 'traitor', and Queen Gu could only endure it - thinking of the scene when the queen who had always been high up was so angry that she pressed her hand on her 'chest' and fell softly, but she still grabbed An's hand and ordered her to return to the East Palace safely......
Liu Ruo's 'jade' couldn't help but slightly hook her 'lips' and smiled, and said to her cousin Liu who was looking at her with a worried face: "It's also that I can't think about it for a while, seventh sister, don't worry, you see, I'm not very good now?" ”
It's just wonderful.
