Chapter 098: Attracting Hatred
No matter how stupid Yao Shuang is, she now knows what is going on. All of this is simply Yun Yao using her mind to bring down Lu Yingquan, and the pit dug specifically for her is waiting for her to jump down stupidly.
The peony on the quilt and belly pocket, this is very easy to fake, after all, the whole Yiwang Palace knows that she likes peony, just find someone to get a few pieces of cloth embroidered with peony to make the quilt and belly pocket. As for the earrings, she hadn't worn them for a long time, plus there was a lot of jewelry, and she didn't notice that the earrings were missing, so she didn't notice them at all.
As for the letter, although she didn't know how it came about, she remembered the blank paper that Yao Meng handed over to Aunt Wushuang in Suochuntai before. On it is Jiang Yi's handwriting, and Jiang Yi also said that he did not write such a letter. Since Yun Yao has the ability to get Jiang Yi's self, it must not be difficult to get Du Jiangheng's handwriting, right?
Yao Shuang sorted out the doubts in his mind clearly, and was about to defend himself, when Shen Che suddenly said:
"That's enough! Who do you think this king is? Not to mention such a reluctant thing, but also openly protecting each other and flirting in front of so many people, is it really that this king usually indulges you too much?"
"Your Highness, but the concubine is really wronged! The concubine ......" Yao Shuang wanted to refute something, but was interrupted by Shen Che.
"Can you guarantee that nothing happened just now?" The king and the queen mother were standing outside, but they could hear it clearly. Shen Che said, "Yao Shuang, ask yourself, are you really wronged?"
Yao Shuang stopped talking, no matter what the cause and effect of the whole thing were, and whether it was framed or not, in short, there was a husband and wife between Yao Shuang and Du Jiangheng, so no matter how much she quibbled, she couldn't erase this fact.
"Your Highness, today's matter is like this, and it is also strange that Weichen did not notice it for a while, and fell into the path of a traitor. I also ask His Highness to give Wechen a chance, Wechen wants to talk to His Highness alone. Du Jiangheng said, turned his head and glanced at Lu Yingquan, an unfathomable look flashed in his eyes.
Shen Che also noticed this gaze, he didn't want to talk to Du Jiangheng about anything, but the Queen Mother took the lead and said: "Since Du Jiangheng has made this request, Che'er, the mourning family will take people down first, and this matter will be handled by you, and everyone must be satisfied." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother. Shen Che nodded and agreed.
He knew very well what the Queen Mother meant by "satisfying everyone", in fact, no matter what decision he made, Lu Yingquan would definitely not oppose and be dissatisfied, so the only problem now is Du Jiangheng.
If you want to talk about this Du Jiangheng, he was not an important figure originally, but his father Du Xiaoran was a talent that Shen Che fancied, and he was also Shen Che's confidant, and he was a rare general who marched and fought.
In recent years, in order to confuse the Empress Dowager Qin, Shen Che made the Empress Dowager Qin think that he was just a king who did not learn and did not know, and thought that he did not understand anything, so he left all the generals idle and scattered, leaving them to have nothing to do, just handing over the government of Yiguo to the civil officials and letting the civil officials handle political affairs.
And for a general, not being able to train and lead troops is the most painful thing. Therefore, Du Wei, the old general Du Wei, has no enthusiasm, but because of Shen Che's plan, he always has to be idle at home, and even has to cooperate with Shen Che to act, making a depressed appearance all day long, in order to hide the eyes of the Empress Dowager Qin.
Du Jiangheng is Du Wei's only son, and it is precisely because Shen Che has been ashamed of Du Wei for so many years that he does not want to kill Du Jiangheng, and he knows very well in his heart that Du Jiangheng was indeed calculated by Yun Yao, and it cannot be regarded as a real betrayal of him.
Just as Shen Che was pondering, the Queen Mother took Aunt Wushuang away, and a group of people left the Yuyu Palace, and the entire hall was empty all of a sudden.
"Come on, pull Yao Meiren to the Shuanghua Palace and lock her up, you can't come out without the permission of this king. Shen Che commanded.
Yuan Bao quickly led people to pull Yao Shuang down, and suddenly only Du Jiangheng and Lu Yingquan were left in the hall, as well as Yun Yao, everyone looked at each other, but was silent.
"Your Highness, since Gongzi Du wants to talk to you alone, the concubine will also go down first. Lu Yingquan said knowingly, and after getting Shen Che's permission, he left with Yun Yao.
The door of the Jade Universe Hall was closed, blocking the wind outside, making the hall less bleak, and also cutting off the outside view, so that those who wanted to hear the news had no way to know.
Shen Che and Du Jiangheng's voices were very small, and even if the people outside were clinging to the door, they couldn't hear what they were saying very clearly. In other words, the conversation between Shen Che and Du Jiangheng was only after the two of them.
Outside the Yuyu Palace, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao walked towards Linglong Pavilion, and when they passed by the Frost Hua Palace, they saw that Yao Shuang was still struggling, and seemed to refuse to go in, and wanted to cry out to Shen Che.
Lu Yingquan stood in place, looking at Yao Shuang's embarrassment, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
"Lu Yingquan! You don't have to die! You will be punished sooner or later!" Yao Shuang also saw Lu Yingquan standing not far away, so he scolded, "You actually designed me like this, you are really a femme fatale!"
Before she could finish scolding, Yao Shuang was dragged in, covered her mouth, and isolated the rest of the sound in her stomach.
Seeing this, Yun Yao couldn't help laughing: "She is a femme fatale, she scolded the wrong person, she should scold me." This idea is what I thought, and it has nothing to do with you, I calculated them all like this. Even if they want to curse and hate, they should come at me. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are doing all this for me, otherwise how could you do this? You give me advice, and I will bear some infamy for you, what is not okay?" Lu Yingquan retorted, "Let's go, it's not too early, let's go back to Linglong Pavilion, so let's rest early." It is estimated that His Highness will not come again tonight. ”
"He'll come. Yun Yao said, "Actually, I didn't think about this matter, and now it seems that although we have the upper hand and calculated Yao Shuang, it has left us with endless hidden dangers." ”
"Why?" Lu Yingquan was a little surprised.
The two walked in the night, the lantern in their hands was already a little dark, the night wind was blowing, the shadows were shaking, and sometimes a mottled silhouette was formed on the ground, which made people shudder.
And Lu Yingquan's voice was in the night sky, and it was a little unreal.
In fact, it wasn't until Du Jiangheng proposed to talk to Shen Che alone that Yun Yao suddenly realized.
Shen Che is a king in the end, he has his plans, his ambitions, and he is destined to sacrifice some things and wronged some people for this ambition and the great cause of the country. This is a common problem of every emperor.
And Yun Yao didn't think about this when she set up this bureau, probably because every time before, Shen Che showed his concern and concern for Lu Yingquan, and his attitude of not wanting Yingquan to be wronged made Yun Yao ignore that Shen Che is also a king who can give up something for the great cause of the country.
"Because...... Du Jiangheng's father, Du Wei, is a rare leader. Yun Yao replied lightly, "Before, I only wanted to calculate Yao Shuang, but I forgot about this. If His Royal Highness really meets the soldiers of Ning Palace in the future, General Gu alone will not be enough. Yiguo did not have many generals who could lead the troops to fight, because the Empress Dowager Qin had always been wary of Her Royal Highness, so after the death of the first emperor, many people with outstanding military achievements in Yiguo were transferred away. ”
"So what you mean is that His Royal Highness will choose not to embarrass Du Jiangheng for the sake of Dewey. Lu Yingquan quickly understood what Yun Yao meant, "Judging from Du Jiangheng's attitude towards Yao Shuang just now, he still has a little residual affection for Yao Shuang, if he wants to win over Du Wei, then he must not attack Du Jiangheng, and Du Jiangheng will definitely ask His Royal Highness to release Yao Shuang." ”
"Yes, exactly. Yun Yao nodded, "Du Jiangheng knows that the matter between him and Yao Shuang is an insult to the royal family, so he can't blatantly threaten His Highness and let His Highness let him go." So he chose to talk to His Highness alone, and if His Highness took into account Dewey's face, he would definitely agree to Du Jiangheng's request. ”
"But...... According to our investigation before, didn't this Du Jiangheng abandon Yao Shuang for Yao Meng?" Lu Yingquan was very puzzled, "He originally had a marriage contract with Yao Shuang, but after seeing Yao Meng, he broke off the marriage contract with Yao Shuang, so why is he still so good to Yao Shuang?"
"Maybe it's guilt. Yun Yao sighed, "In the matter of the marriage contract, he originally owed Yao Shuang." Now it is because of his failure to investigate that Yao Shuang has become a sinner from a high master, if he has the slightest conscience, he will intercede for Yao Shuang. And once Yao Shuang survives, the two of us will have to live vigilantly all the time. ”
When Lu Yingquan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and then didn't say anything, and walked towards Linglong Pavilion step by step.
Yun Yao didn't say anything, this was a predictable result, although this was a variable that she hadn't considered before, but the overall situation was still in her hands.
As long as she doesn't deviate from her original idea, it doesn't matter if Yao Shuang dies or not, because her ultimate goal is Jiang Yi.
And in the Yuyu Palace, as Yun Yao expected, Du Jiangheng proposed this condition to Shen Che - to let Yao Shuang live.
"Your Royal Highness, anyway, there is already Lu Meiren in this palace, Weichen doesn't want to delve into the suspicions and grudges between Lu Meiren and Yao Meiren, and he doesn't want to know who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but Weichen knows that in His Highness's heart, Lu Meiren's status is better than everyone else. Since His Royal Highness doesn't like Yao Meiren, it is better to set her free!"
There is no impermeable wall in this world, and Du Jiangheng has also heard that Shen Che released the harem concubines from the palace, and he privately hopes that Shen Che can also give Yao Shuang such a chance.
"Your Highness, Your Highness must have heard about the past, it was Wei Chen who owed Yao Meiren, and Wei Chen only hoped to do something for her. Du Jiangheng finally spoke, "If His Highness can agree, Weichen will definitely go to the soup and serve His Highness for the rest of his life, and he will never give up!"
