Chapter 259

As soon as he arrived at Yue's mansion, Lord Yue glanced at his wife fiercely, and immediately dropped a stupid woman and left. [No pop-ups. Just when he was out of the palace, he sent the little maid around him to investigate, and then he knew how much trouble his wife and daughter had caused.

dared to give the Duchess of the Protector in front of the palace gate, and he was faceless, and he didn't even count his words, and he tried to pour dirty water on people. is so unrelenting, but it really makes him hate that he has never married such a stupid woman.

On weekdays, he rarely pays attention to the exchanges of women's opinions, one is because of the ancient precepts of the male protagonist and the female protagonist. The second is that he is not the kind of person who climbs up with women's means of back-house communication. And although the woman was a little unclear, she never caused him trouble in major matters, at least she knew in her heart who could handle and who could not be provoked, so sometimes he knew that Mrs. was oppressive and relied on the old to sell the old, and he never said anything, just turned a blind eye and passed.

It's just that I didn't think about his connivance, but I provoked such a big basket for myself. He could even imagine that if it was not handled properly, the reputation of the Xu Shi family's upright business for several generations would be ruined.

And Lord Yue's dissatisfaction reached the extreme when he heard the housekeeper return to the rumors outside the market. Such an obvious false accusation is afraid that it will not be able to get rid of his wife and daughter. Thinking of this, and then thinking that the emperor is obviously very satisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is no accident, the prince will be the next king.

According to his plan, he will not stand in line and still be the royal party, no matter how openly and secretly he fights in the court, he just has to be upright and not have one thing to say and two to say, although he will not be liked by others, but he can ensure that the Yue family will not fall for at least three generations. But now Lord Yue was pacing back and forth in the study, looking at the secret letter just sent by the housekeeper, he really didn't know how to scold his wife and daughter.

"What a stupid woman, stupid!" Lord Yue was angry, he really shouldn't have married his daughter to the Lin family in the first place, although his daughter's life was smooth, but after so many years, he couldn't train a husband with brains. It's better to marry her directly to the merchant back then, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, than to make trouble for him like now.

"Go, let the lady come." He slapped his palm on the table, thinking about the situation he was about to face, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he falls, what good will the son who has been released?

In the battle for the throne, if anyone who stands on the wrong team, don't say that his wife and children are implicated, and he is afraid that the whole family will not be able to get a good death. And although the five princes have some means, compared to His Royal Highness King Rui, who has always been inconspicuous but can make the emperor the crown prince as soon as he appears, it is really far behind.

Besides, if he really loses his neutral position, there is no need for other princes to take action, and I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to tolerate him anymore.

By the time Mrs. Yue came, she had already thought of a verbal countermeasure to deal with Lord Yue. The left and right involve daughters, and there is also the issue of unification, as long as the five princes are on the throne, the Lin family and the Yue family can rise with the tide.

However, before she could bow down, she saw Lord Yue's gloomy face, his eyes gloomy and ugly, and he directly slammed the tea cup in his hand at her feet.

"Stupid woman!" As the teacup exploded, Lord Yue scolded fiercely, "If you want to find death, don't drag dozens of people from my Yue family." ”

With the crisp sound sounding, the tea splashed completely on Mrs. Yue's body, making her dare not make a sound for a while. It wasn't until she heard Lord Yue's reprimand that she said angrily: "Which fox was provoked by the master this time?" Really don't miss the love between husband and wife? ”

Seeing that his wife looked like a stupid shrew, Lord Yue directly squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Brainless things, I still think about your little thoughts." Do you know that if what you did in front of the palace gate today reaches the ears of the emperor, my career is not guaranteed to be a trivial matter, and I am afraid that your son will never return to Beijing in his life. ”

With that, he sighed weakly, leaning on the back of the chair helplessly and rubbing his forehead. Without the fierce words just now, although Lord Yue's face was still sinking like water, he also lost the anger just now.

"You think you're angry with your daughter right now? Think you can add to the blockage of the family of the protector? It's really stupid. Lord Yue's eyes were solemn, looking at the lady who still had no expression of repentance, as if he had lost his spirit, and continued, "The Lord Protector is now the minister of the emperor and the prince, not to mention what kind of disaster will be brought to the Yue family and the Lin family if the rumors you spread are verified, and whether the two governments will be implicated because of that matter." Let's just say that even if the thing is true, do you think the emperor will really protect the country for a concubine and a criminal slave? ”

"Master" Mrs. Yue is small and narrow-minded, but it doesn't mean that she can't understand Lord Yue's words.

"Since I have said this today, I am not afraid to say it thoroughly, as long as the prince does not rebel, it is impossible for the position of the protector to be shaken. And you have also seen that the attitude of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother towards the Duchess of the Protector is shallow, if there is no acquiescence from the emperor, do you think it is possible? Lord Yue's heart was irritable, but his face became more and more calm, "You think it's adding to the blockage, but you don't know that you are causing disaster for yourself." If the emperor really has the heart to investigate the truth of the rumors, I am afraid that he will be implicated first, that is, the Lin Mansion and then my Yue's Mansion. Even if it is for the sake of the crown prince, the emperor will not let us go easily."

Stupid, stupid.

After that, Mrs. Yue was sent back to the backyard in a dazed state, but the next morning, Lord Lin was impeached. Before the turmoil fell, the emperor proposed the position of two more superintendents of the imperial history, and the few who had been following Lord Yue all rose and descended secretly. In this way, Lord Rao is Yue is still in the Yushitai, but he has completely lost his sacred heart.

And Lord Lin has become a supernumerary figure, not to mention the benefits, he was directly found by the emperor and lost his hair, but he reflected at home but did not have time to resume his official position. That is, if the emperor can't remember him, he can only reflect on his life at home.

Before the first lunar month, news came out of the palace, saying that the emperor was unwell and left the court for three days. And this news exploded like a thunderbolt inside and outside the government and the opposition, and with the crown prince in charge of the country, the five princes and their faction began to move.

And unlike the tense atmosphere above the court, in the harem, in the Fushou Palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is talking to the Queen Mother. Xu felt relieved, and the Queen Mother naturally nodded again and again.

"If it weren't for Yuan Ming's time to ask for peace and tell the mourning family to relieve their boredom, Xu is mourning family would never have thought of seeing her again in their lives." The Queen Mother said, with a slightly regretful expression on her face, "Last time, I asked you to investigate her life, but I didn't want to suffer so much." If it weren't for the estrangement between the mourning family and the emperor at the beginning, and they didn't send someone to find it in time, Xu is mother and she would not have been a slave and a maid and suffered a lot of humiliation. blamed the mourning family for being bad, so she mistakenly made her mother's jewel dusty, and also made her maternal grandmother die with hatred. ”

The queen and the emperor are a young couple, and she married the emperor at the age of thirteen when she was still the prince, so she knows a lot of things. Especially the current matter, it can be said that it has always been a knot in the queen mother's heart, and the emperor is often uncomfortable for that heart.

"Queen Mother, although the concubine has not yet found the old mother who served the Duchess of the Protector of the Country, she has found some hidden things from the Lin Mansion. At the beginning, the mother of the Duchess of Huguo was an official slave, and later entered the Lin Mansion by mistake, and somehow got the love of Lord Lin, and then added a daughter and died in a few days. At the same time, the three midwives disappeared and their families were missing. The queen said slowly, "Why don't you ask the Duchess of the Protector in person?" ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning slightly, "It's not tight, don't be too nervous, there's no rush in this matter." As soon as the left and right mourning families saw her, they liked her and felt very kind. Even if it wasn't, it was a poor good boy after all. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother said this, what else did the Queen not understand? This is the queen mother has doubts in her heart, but she is afraid of disappointment. The so-called homesickness is more timid, which probably means the same.

"What the queen mother said is that the concubines will be in control."

In response, the queen accompanied the queen mother for a long time, most of which were about Lin Baozhu and Zhang Ji. It is said that now not only Zhang Ji's business is booming, but also has done many good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, and the farming tools on the palace banquet in the previous New Year are also widely praised by the people. Because the emperor did not hide that those objects came from Peachtree Bay, and there were many officials' wives and wives at the banquet, the news naturally spread in a word. And those Peachtree Bay craftsmen who are valued are even more grateful to Lin Baozhu when they mention it.

As a result, it is now rumored in the market that the Duchess of the Protector is a great good person and a living Bodhisattva.

The Queen Mother has rarely been so happy as she is today, and when she finally rose, she said several awards in a row. He even asked the great eunuch of Fushou Palace to go to the protector in person, and gave Lin Baozhu a lot of dignity. For this, the emperor did not stop it, nor did he say anything, but added a pair of jade ruyi and white jade Fulu cups to the queen mother's reward.

As a result, the government and the opposition once again saw the royal family's attention and praise for the Duchess of the Protector, and now Lord Lin does not dare to provoke it easily even if he wants to build a relationship again. It's just that on the third day after the palace banquet, the concubine Lin Yanran was hurriedly sent into the prince's mansion from the side door of the fifth prince with a pink-topped sedan chair. Because she was just a concubine, the Lin family didn't even have the opportunity to send a dowry maid.

And Lord Yue has no other way to deal with this matter than to acquiesce. It can even be said that even Lin Yanran's entry into the prince's mansion was the last battle of the trapped beast that he was forced to do out out of desperation. The dignified Imperial History Observatory was abandoned by the emperor, and the only way was to rebuild the Dragon's Gong. And now, among the several princes, the one he is most optimistic about can fight with the crown prince is the five princes.
