Chapter 69: What a cunning thing
"Xiao Cui!" The third lady hurriedly stopped, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Xiaocui just dared to complain in private behind closed doors." Xiao Cui pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
"Xiaocui, why do you say that Su Ranqing can be the queen if she marries the king of the south? Didn't the emperor make a prince? Su Ranhua wanted to find out the current situation first, and what he heard from the queen was that the three dragons had won the heir, but listening to Xiaocui say this, it seemed that the king of the south had the greatest chance of winning.
"Miss, you're taking the Xiaocui test, right?" Xiao Cui's eyes widened and looked at Su Ran's paintings, which everyone knew.
"Tell me, there's no outsider here." Su Ranhua stood up and said, she could see that this Xiaocui was really loyal to their mother and daughter.
"Although the North King is the queen's concubine, the queen's family background is getting weaker and weaker, and although the East King is the eldest son of the emperor, he is ordered to be outside all the year round, and his family background is not worth mentioning. And King Nan's mother, Concubine Shufei Niangniang, favors the harem alone, and her family is so strong, sooner or later the position of the crown prince will be his, doesn't the lord also understand this, so he tries his best to stand on the side of King Nan? forced you to marry the king of the north, and do things for the prime minister's mansion, that is, the king of the south, in private. This is exchanging the life of the second lady for the wealth of the eldest lady. Xiao Cui said that the head was the Tao, and his face was not angry.
"Okay, Xiaocui, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." The third lady is cautious and deeply understands the truth that trouble comes from the mouth.
Xiao Cui stuck out her tongue at Su Ranhua and stopped squeaking.
Looks like a smart girl. Su Ranhua nodded, and she figured out the general situation from Xiao Cui's words.
"It's not early, the banquet is about to start. Xiaocui, you go to the hall with the dyeing painting first, don't let the lord and the prince wait for a long time. The third lady got up and said, "I'll change my clothes first, and then I'll go over." ”
Su Ranhua looked along the sight of the third lady, only to see that the hem of her shirt was pushed hard by Su Luocheng just now, swept the corner of the table, and was torn.
"Well," Su Ranhua nodded and said to Xiao Cui, "Xiao Cui, let's go first." If you have any gossip, it's better to take it first. ”
"Okay." Xiao Cui responded and followed Su Ran out of the house.
The third lady looked at her daughter's back in a daze, putting aside the strangeness, she suddenly felt that the daughter who was protected by herself had really grown up, and after marrying into the Beiwang Mansion, she was like a different person, and she was treated. The Beiwang Mansion, which has the strictest rules in the capital, and the Northern King with the coldest temperament, can change a person so quickly!
"Emily." Su Ranhua suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Cui behind him.
Su Ran's gaze seems to be able to look into people's bones.
In fact, in the third lady's house just now, Xiao Cui had already discovered that the young lady was different from before, but when Su Ranhua looked at her like this, she couldn't help but feel excited.
"Xiaocui, do you know how I married into the Northern Palace?"
Su Ranhua's sudden questioning made Xiao Cui not unexpected, he was stunned for a while, and paused for a moment before shaking his head gently, "The specific situation, Xiao Cui doesn't know." ”
"I don't know the specifics, but I know the approximately? Tell me everything you know. Su Ranhua looked directly at Xiao Cui and lowered his voice.
"Miss?" Xiao Cui looked at Su Ran's paintings, as if she suddenly didn't know each other, and asked incredibly, "You should know these very well, why do you want to ask Xiao Cui again?" ”
"There's something I've forgotten." Su Ranhua's expression softened a little, with a bit of gloom, "I didn't dare to let my mother know, so I asked you." ”
"Miss!" Xiao Cui looked at Su Ran's painting, with deep sympathy on her face, she had long heard about the cruelty of the Northern King, and in just one month, there was a problem with the brains tortured by the young lady, no wonder the young lady would behave differently than before!
"Tell me about it." Su Ranhua sighed and looked at Xiao Cui with a little pleading in his eyes.
Looking at Su Ran's painting, which suddenly looked gloomy and had a sad face, Xiaocui couldn't help but want to cry.
"One night two months ago, the third lady suddenly fell ill, no one in the prime minister's mansion paid attention to it, the young lady first rushed out of the prime minister's mansion to find the third lady has been treating the third lady, as a result, Xiaocui guarded the third lady and waited for a long time, and finally begged the housekeeper to inform the master, and then sent someone to invite Dr. Chen, but Dr. Chen said that he had not seen the young lady at all." Cui reminisced about that night.
"Didn't see that?" Su Ran asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Well," Xiao Cui nodded, "Just after Dr. Chen came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss suddenly ran back, although Miss didn't say anything, but her expression was very special, as if something had happened, and the master seemed to be very concerned about Miss's whereabouts suddenly, but after dawn, the master found out what happened at night." ”
Xiao Cui paused, glanced at Su Ran's painting, and saw that she insisted on letting herself continue, so she said in a low voice, "It turns out that on the way to find the doctor, the young lady was touched by the drunken King of the North and defiled. The lord was very angry, but when he thought that this was a rare relationship with the North Prince's Mansion, he insisted on asking you to marry the North King. If the young lady does not marry, she will not treat the third lady and let her die of illness. ”
"So, I had to get married, and he was inserted into the North King's Mansion as an eyeliner, approached the North King, and waited for an opportunity to do things for him." Su Ranhua said coldly.
"Hmm. The young lady had no choice but to agree. At the beginning, in order to take care of the face of the Prime Minister and the royal family, the lord did not explain to the public that the person who was defiled by the North King that night was the young lady, but just asked the important ministers of the court to be lobbyists and persuaded the North King to marry the young lady as a concubine, but the North King did not agree at all. Later, he found out that the young lady was pregnant, and the old man was even more annoyed, took the personal jade pendant of the king of the north, went to the court, and told the emperor the beginning and the end, and the emperor decreed marriage, and the king of the north married the young lady. ”
"Close-fitting jade pendant?" Su Ranhua asked suspiciously, "I got it from the King of the North?" ”
"I guess so." Xiao Cui said, "When Miss came back that night, I didn't notice if Miss took anything special, but Beiwang's personal accessories can only be obtained when Beiwang is drunk and confused." It is not surprising that Miss was bullied and would leave evidence. It's just that I didn't expect that time to make Miss pregnant. ”
It turned out that the child who fell was really Ximen Hao's. Su Ran thought about it, but the jade pendant was strange, it is said that after being panicked and bullied, he could think of taking the opportunity to take Ximen Hao's jade pendant, which shows that Su Ran's mind was cautious at that time, or it was planned, but according to Xiaocui, everything was an accident, and forcing her to marry into the North Wangfu also happened later.
So the origin of that jade pendant is a bit strange.
Maybe what Xiaocui said about Ximen Hao's drunkenness is just an appearance, but the fact is that Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao have been calculated. In this way, it can explain why Ximen Hao has been saying that Su Luocheng's plan has been repeated, and Su Luocheng can just get Ximen Hao's personal jade pendant as evidence, and will suddenly care about his daughter who has never cared about it that night.
In fact, it was not an accidental accident at the beginning, but it was all calculated by Su Luocheng.
What a cunning thing!
