Chapter 277: The Queen Mother's Trick
Mama Liu listened to the crisp sound of the long wind standing behind her pulling the sword out of the scabbard, and suddenly sat down on the ground in fright, not daring to breathe, for fear that the cold light that did not last long would sweep away from her body and die.
So under Ji Changye's threatening look, Mama Liu trembled and said, "The old slave said, the old slave said everything. Lord Wang, don't be impulsive, this matter is not what the old slave wants to do, there is really someone behind the scenes, otherwise how dare the old slave instigate the little boy?"
Listening to her nonsense, Ji Changye urged impatiently: "Enough, tell me about your plan and your master's plan, otherwise this king wants your life, and no one can stop it!"
When Mama Liu heard this, she immediately shuddered, and stammered and replied, "The old slave said, the old slave said. It was the queen mother who instructed the old slave behind her back, but the queen mother only told the old slave to say these things to the little boy, and the old slave didn't do anything to hurt the little boy. I also hope that the prince can show mercy to his subordinates, just because the old slave is also forced to be helpless, and the life of his family is in danger and he is pitiful in the hands of others." As she spoke, she began to kneel and kowtow continuously, and her voice was very loud, as if she was really repentant.
But Ji Changye was unmoved by this, and didn't care whether she was really repentant or not, but anxiously asked, "Queen Mother? Tell me in detail, what exactly did the Queen Mother tell you, and what was the final purpose? How do you two get in touch on a day-to-day basis? Or is there still someone from the Queen Mother in this mansion who connects with you?"
At the end of the question, Ji Changye's heart couldn't help but tighten, after all, if there was really one and he didn't find out, how clever the Queen Mother's methods were, this is undoubtedly a very terrible thing, and it can kill them at any time.
"The old slave was originally a peasant woman working in the fields, but that day I met the father-in-law next to the Queen Mother on the street, and after asking about the old slave's family history, I took the old slave to the Queen Mother. At that time, the son and daughter-in-law of the old slave's family were infected one after another, and they couldn't afford to take the medicine and were about to swallow, so when the queen mother said that as long as the old slave said a few words, she could give a large sum of silver, and the old slave agreed in a daze. Unexpectedly, it was such a small doll. Although the old slave couldn't bear it, for the sake of the son and daughter-in-law of the family, the old slave could only do this. There are no queen mothers in the house, and when the old slave goes out to buy vegetables, he tells the little eunuch next to the queen mother about the little prince in the house. The same is true of the Queen Mother's message."
Listening to the ins and outs of Mama Liu's mouth, Ji Changye fell into deep thought, but he was also a little lucky, after all, it proved that they were not swayed by the Queen Mother's people, and there was still a chance to guard against it. But soon his mind was pulled to the side, and he couldn't help but wonder why the Queen Mother had to go to great lengths to detour, after all, while they were not in the imperial capital, it would be easier for the bribe to destroy the ingots to defeat them, so this matter was definitely not so simple.
Changfeng listened to Mama Liu's tragic life experience, and finally chose to withdraw the blade, looking at her unbearably, but he also hated that she could say these words to a half-grown child like ingots to squeeze his self-esteem.
Seeing that Ji Changye was silent, Mama Liu immediately crawled to his feet, but was soon noticed by Changfeng and pulled into place, but she still heard her crying: "Lord Wang, please let go of the old slave family if you have a large number of adults, the old slave swears that he will never appear next to the little boy." Maybe that's the life of the old slave's son and daughter-in-law, the old slave recognizes everything, and hopes that the prince won't blame him."
She knew very well that if the news of her exposure was known by the Queen Mother, she and her family would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, which would be a dead end, but seeing that Ji Changye was not a ruthless person, she put all the hope of survival on his side, as long as he didn't push himself out and let her go now, she could leave here with her family, hide so that they could not find it, and live the last days.
Ji Changye wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't bear to speak: "This matter will not be spread by the king first, but it is a sure capital crime for you to instigate the royal family, but as long as you are willing to do this king a favor, this king can intercede for you in the future, and the king will also let people treat the illness of your son and daughter-in-law, but the premise is that you must obey the king's plan and not let the queen mother know, how?"
Although he can't be sure whether the words in Mama Liu's mouth are true or false, Ji Changye is willing to take the risk and give it a try, maybe Mama Liu is telling the truth, so didn't he seize a good opportunity?
"The old slave listens to the prince's arrangement for everything, and will never let the queen mother know, what does the prince command? The old slave did so." Because Mama Liu was not dead set on the Queen Mother, and now Ji Changye threatens herself, in order to protect herself and her family, she finally chose to defect.
Ji Changye looked at her cloudy eyes, and didn't fully believe that she could be used for herself so quickly, so he didn't plan to trust her anytime soon, so he tentatively said, "We can't startle the snake, so during this time, you still pretend to do what they asked you to do, and pretend to report it to them, so that they can relax their vigilance. Remember, you must not expose anything, or the king will not guarantee what will happen to you. And from today onwards, you don't have to serve the little boy anymore, and you are not allowed to mention the previous things again, understand?"
Mama Liu immediately nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry."
"Alright, you can stand down. If there is anything, the king will call you again." Ji Changye waved her hand to retreat, and Mama Liu did so with interest, and then left here.
After the people left, Changfeng sighed and said, "Lord Wang, this Mama Liu is too pitiful, we must help her stop being threatened by others."
Ji Changye shook his head thoughtfully and replied, "Pity? How do you know if she's pretending to be pitiful? If so, we were deceived by her and fell into her trap, will you still feel sorry for her at that time?"
"It's not pitiful, if you want to hide people's eyes and pretend to be pitiful, it's really hateful, but it's not like pretending, it seems that you still have to observe more. So who did the prince decide to let take care of the ingots? The subordinates are afraid that there will be people like Mama Liu, and they are a little worried." He frowned, very distressed about this matter.
"I don't know. If she suddenly changes someone to take care of Yuanbao, I'm afraid that Song Niangzi will know about it, if she knows, she will be very worried about Yuanbao, and once she acts impulsively, our plan may be disrupted, so let Mama Liu go in and out of Yuanbao's yard, but don't get close to Yuanbao to take care of him, just do some chores, just let others watch that Mama Liu is still in Yuanbao's yard." Ji Changye didn't believe what Mama Liu said, there was no eyeliner in this palace, otherwise how could she come to the palace so easily, and still be able to serve ingots? Someone must be behind it.
So Ji Changye instructed Changfeng and said, "Just let me serve by my side before, and Mama Wang will take care of Yuanbao, how can I say that it has been reliable for so many years." and then sent someone to monitor Mama Liu's every move. One is in the courtyard of the ingots to see if she will do anything again, and the other follows her to see if she and the queen mother's people are doing what the king said."
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." With that, Changfeng left here.
Half an hour later, Song Qian, who was writing with Yuanbao, was a little surprised when he saw Changfeng bring Grandma Sun in, so he asked, "Changfeng, Grandma Sun, is there something you have come here for?"
She knew that Grandma Sun was taking care of Grandma Ji Changye, and she couldn't help but wonder why people were brought here by Changfeng for no reason.
Changfeng explained, "The prince saw that Yuan Bao was too tired, and he was afraid that he would be tired, so he asked Grandma Sun to take care of him." Sometimes Changfeng really admires his brain, he can turn so fast, he was not stopped by Song Qian's question, and he didn't make Song Qian have any doubts.
"I see, that's really troublesome Grandma Sun. Quick ingots, go call someone." Saying that, Song Qian put down the ink strip in his hand and said softly to these ingots.
Yuan Bao put down the brush, walked in front of Grandma Sun, and said decently: "Grandma Sun, I hope you can take care of Ingots in the future, and Yuan Bao has thanked Grandma Sun here." Although Mama Sun is a subordinate, her age and qualifications are among the best in the palace, and she is also the dowry maid of Ji Changye's biological mother, so even Ji Changye has to give a little face, and Yuanbao must be respected as a junior and a young son who is about to become a prince.
Mama Sun looked at the pleasing ingots and smiled and saluted: "It is the blessing of a slave to be able to take care of the little boy, how can you afford such a courtesy as the little boy, it is a torment for the old slave."
"What about Mama Liu? She doesn't come
Took care of ingots? She disciplines me every day." Yuan Bao suddenly looked at Changfeng and Mama Sun cautiously, and was a little scared.
Knowing why Yuanbao is so long, he hurriedly said, "Mama Liu will also come to take care of Yuanbao, but she can't take care of Yuanbao for other jobs she does on weekdays." Saying that, he also looked at Song Qian's expression cautiously, for fear that he would say something wrong and expose this matter.
Listening to Yuanbao, he sighed comfortably.
I don't know why Song Qian was kept in the dark, he should have seen some clues, so he asked, "Does the prince have any special arrangements? If it's because it's too troublesome, I'll take care of the ingots, so there's no need to be too troublesome."
In the past, it was because he was entangled in important matters, but now that he has time himself, he still plans to put it next to Yuanbao.
But Changfeng was afraid that Li Changye's plan would be disrupted, so he slapped the table excessively, this action made the three of them a little strange, and they didn't understand why he did it suddenly, there must be something.
Realizing that he was about to be exposed, Changfeng hurriedly explained, "The subordinates want to say that Song Niangzi is so tired on weekdays, and she definitely doesn't have the heart to put on Yuanbao's body, so it's better to have someone who can take care of you with a relaxed heart." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally turned the tide and came back.
Song Qian listened to his words, and was still a little strange. But thinking about it carefully, I still have a lot of things to do in the future, and I really don't have the energy to take care of Yuanbao, so I agreed: "So it's troublesome Grandma Sun, you have to be obedient to Yuanbao, do you know?" Don't trouble Grandma Sun."
"Yuanbao remember, Yuanbao will definitely not cause trouble to Grandma Sun, don't worry." Saying that, Yuanbao came to Grandma Sun's side, and I don't know why, in comparison, he still felt that the strange Grandma Sun was much better than Grandma Liu.
