Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues to the real murderer) Chapter 73 Smoke
Zhongshu Ling can ask these words, of course, there are seven or eighty percent sure in his heart, according to the Queen Mother's consistent caution, it is impossible to say more about the "useless" people, not to mention the calculation that Liu Siniang is such a weak boudoir is not worth publicizing, the Queen Mother cherishes her reputation so much, where will it be widely publicized, this kind of thing Xie Raoping has no effect at all, it was originally a very simple matter, and there is no need to mobilize the teachers and work together.
So how can Mao Wei be sure that Wang Qilang's behavior is against the Queen Mother? Even though he knew that the Queen Mother was in good health, he forced Liu Siniang to enter the palace to pray for blessings under the pretext of committing misfortune, causing Wang Qilang to also decide to "take refuge in Buddhism", and he should not be sure of the Queen Mother's true intentions, but Mao Wei directly instructed He Lin to use the "Disaster of Killing" warning, as if he was in his chest, if Mao Wei dared to act like this based on suspicion alone, Wei Yuanping resolutely did not believe it, Xie Raoping and Mao Wei were full of scheming and cautious people, and if they were not completely sure, they would never act on their own.
It must be that Xie Raoping has already learned the truth, and seeing that he is about to mess things up, he instructed Mao Wei to "make amends", if they can really police Wang Qilang to rein in, they will not be a big achievement, and they will have more confidence to fall into the well and take the opportunity to suppress them!
Thinking about it this way, He Zhan is also a "well-behaved" person, seeing that He Lin couldn't tell the root cause, he simply didn't get bewitched and hurriedly went to the police Wang Qilang, but he inquired from Yuan Kang's mouth, so that he could detect Mao Wei's "involvement" and get the opportunity to shoot this time.
Therefore, although the Queen Mother only squinted after hearing these words, the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling, and after more than ten breaths, she said: "What do you want to say?" There was no warning in his tone, but Wei Yuanping was not discouraged: "The minister originally thought that there was a lot of excitement outside, Xie Raoping and Mao Wei felt strange before reporting to the Queen Mother, so they also knew the Queen Mother's intentions, and the minister was sure that if the Queen Mother had not told the two of them the details of this matter, Mao Weiwan would not have the courage to make his own opinion, wouldn't he worry about bad things?" He clearly knew the reason for the fact, so he dared to act like this. ”
In the end, this is still a reminder to the Queen Mother - the elder brother concealed it and did not report it, because he wanted to find out carefully, Xie and Mao were also aware of the strangeness but also concealed it, and even Mao Wei dared to make his own claims...... was instigated by Wei Yuanping like this, and the Queen Mother was also negligent because she didn't inform the two of them about it, even if Xie Raoping was aware, of course, she only thought that Wei Yuanping would inform the palace, so it didn't matter much.
Wei Zhongshu had already glimpsed the "opportunity" from the subtle expression of the Queen Mother, and pretended to be surprised at this time: "Didn't the Queen Mother inform the two?" So where did Mao Wei know the details? ”
"You don't think that Mao Wei has the courage and the ability to spy on the forbidden and insert his eyes and ears into my Elephant Palace?"
"Mao Wei doesn't have this ability, but Xie Raoping may not have it, the Queen Mother has always believed in him, and the saint has to save the position, so he is busy accepting the Xie family daughter as the prince Liangyuan, the Xie family can enter the palace earlier than the virtuous concubine, and the Queen Mother has been very respectful for a period of time, maybe, there are palace people who are bought by the concubine and work hard for the surname Xie."
The Queen Mother didn't argue with her brother about whether Concubine Shu had such skills, but simply said: "Rao Ping is not such a person, you don't compete with him for a day or two, but he is not like you, and he has never stirred up trouble in front of me." ”
Xiao Wei, who had been stopped for a while, couldn't help but interject at this time: "Brother, you are indignant, but in the past, Aya often used to compare Xie Xiang, blaming you for not being as knowledgeable and talented as Xie Xiang, how many years of things, why can't you let go." ”
Although Wei Zhongshu and Xie Raoping have been at odds for a long time, Xiao Wei has no dislike for Xie Xiang, and of course he has no friendship for him, but he admires Mao Wei's boldness and generosity.
She couldn't understand why Brother always couldn't get along with Xie and Mao.
Wei Yuanping was inevitably a little annoyed when his little sister grabbed the white, glared at her, and was about to tell the difference, but the Queen Mother waved her hand impatiently: "Mao Wei learned about this, and it can only be on you, instead of suspecting that there are his eyes and ears in the palace, it is better to take a good look at your own side!" ”
Wei Yuanping was stunned, although he was shocked, but his chagrin disappeared.
Even if Xie Raoping was not implicated, the Queen Mother was clearly suspicious of Mao Wei, even if it was not spying on the imprisoned area, but arranging eyes and ears in the Wei family, with the Queen Mother's temperament, she might not be able to tolerate it, so she hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Mao Wei dares to ......!" The Queen Mother, this person has bad intentions, and this time, he can almost do something bad, if He Zhan is not because of caution, he really ignores it and goes to the police Wang Qilang, and says the disaster of killing, the Wang family will not give up, and the matter will not end well. ”
These words are exactly what the Queen Mother thinks, she actually doesn't care much about the contradictions and disputes between several cronies, but the premise is to lay on the basis that it will not affect the overall situation.
"Now is not the time to pursue it." The Queen Mother glanced at Wei Yuanping: "Let me ask you, what happened to the Duke of Yuanping County to the Xue Mansion, do you find out?" ”
At the mention of this, Zhong Shuling's expression suddenly became annoyed again.
"Not only did Liu Yuyi go back to Xue Mansion once, but even the fourth sister ...... This is no longer a secret in the Liu family, Wei Da and his wife easily found out, the fourth sister personally went to Xue Mansion to find out, to ask Liu Sanlang to marry Xue Shi Niang, I heard that it has been agreed, and the county justice is busy asking the official media to formally propose marriage. ”
Wei Xiaomei had just heard about this incident, and said in surprise: "What's going on, hasn't the fourth sister always wanted to match Liu Saburo and Erniang?" ”
The second lady in Xiao Wei's mouth is the granddaughter of Mrs. Tai's relatives and granddaughter, and the eldest granddaughter of her brother Wei Yuanjin.
"Isn't it, some time ago, the maid in the sister-in-law's courtyard boasted that Wei Liu's second mansion wanted to kiss each other, but I thought that this matter had been decided for seven or eight points, how do you know ......" Wei Yuanping analyzed: "The fourth sister has restrained Liu Yuyi for these years and has not allowed the continuation of the strings, firstly, for the sake of feeding the house, and more importantly, for the future internal affairs of the clan...... If Liu Sanlang and Erniang become the same, Erniang will not be instructed by the fourth sister in the future, Liu Yuyi may not know the fourth sister's calculations, but he is also obsessed with filial piety, after all, our Wei family and the Liu family are now also the same family, and Erniang is the eldest daughter of the sect, for the future of the Liu family, no one dares to talk about the fourth sister's unkindness, and Liu Yuyi has no excuse to disobey at all. ”
"Brother, do you mean that the prince of Yuanping County used Liu Siniang's incident as a handle to threaten the fourth sister to change her mind and marry another high-ranking girl for Liu Sanlang?" Xiao Wei was surprised: "For the sake of his son, he can ignore his daughter?" Liujun Gong has a deep affection for the Pei family who died, and the Pei family only left this pair of bones and blood, is Liujun Gong really so ruthless? ”
The Queen Mother seemed to think of something, and pressed her arm to stop Xiao Wei: "Don't interject, Brother continued." ”
Hearing that the Queen Mother finally changed back to the title of closeness, Zhongshu Ling's heart, which had been hanging for many days, finally replayed a little, so the words became more and more organized: "After I inquired about the upcoming marriage of Liu and Xue, I also had some doubts in my heart about what Xiaomei said just now, so I called Wei Da and his wife to inquire carefully, and I listened to Wei Yu talk about it...... At present, Liu Saburo has not entered Beijing to study, and is still taught by Junyi, and the county prince did not pay much attention to it, but one day he suddenly punished his son severely, and Junyi pleaded for his nephew, but he was also reprimanded by his brother in front of his servants for being unrestrained and ineffective in discipline. ”
Liu Junyi taught San Lang to read The Queen Mother is aware, and has always been regarded as Mrs. Wei's means of suppressing the long house, Heng Zhu Saburo has been born, even if he does not participate in the imperial examination, he has the qualifications to serve as an official, that is, her fourth sister does not let her grandson enter Beijing to study, and the world will not talk about having other intentions, not to mention that Liu Junyi is famous, how many people want to be taught, he personally taught San Lang, that is San Lang's luck, Yuanping County Gong has no excuse to refuse.
But this teaching is good and bad, isn't it all under Liu Junyi's control? Of course, it is not too obvious to do things, but once he has this teacher-student relationship with Saburo, with more care, Saburo will not be closer to his uncle in the future, and may even be estranged from the county prince.
At that time, the Queen Mother did not fail to remind the Yuanping County Public to take precautions, so Liu Yuyi also said a lot of words of gratitude.
There should be a lot of attention.
"Why was Liu Saburo punished?" The Queen Mother asked.
"I went to Pingkangli, but I was being met by the county lord."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "At San Lang's age, it's not wrong to go back to Pingkangfang occasionally, the county prince is so unrelenting, it seems that he has the intention to embarrass Junyi...... Wait, you just said that Yuyi went to Pingkangfang, who are you socializing with? ”
Liu Yuyi's "good cleanliness" is famous in Kyoto, don't say Ji Mei, he doesn't even have a concubine, and he hasn't heard that he has a hobby of going in and out of the brothel in the Qinglou, the Queen Mother naturally thought that he would go to Pingkang to socialize, but Liu Yuyi did not participate in politics at this time, and he seemed to understand that the Queen Mother was still "investigating", so on the surface, he didn't make much friends with courtiers, so the Queen Mother heard that he went to Pingkangfang, so she would be so sensitive.
Wei Yuanping said with a smile: "I was also puzzled at the time, so I went to Pingkangfang to inquire, but I learned that ...... It turned out that as early as five years ago, Liu Yuyi had dealings with a prostitute in Beili from time to time, but because he accidentally broke the siege for a servant, he later ...... 'Visit' the maid and 'talk' with her. ”
Five years ago! The Queen Mother was shocked, Pei had not died at that time, and it turned out that Liu Yuyi had already ......
"Queen Mother, I am also a man, I really don't believe that there are so many love species in this world, I would rather only have one wife...... In my opinion, what is a good story of deep love, it is nothing more than how jealous the Pei family is, Liu Yuyi had to rely on the Pei family back then, and he had no choice but to abandon Mei Ji Jiao, in his heart, he was afraid that he would have resentment. ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "I seem to understand a little, over the years, I have been deceived by the apparent loyalty of the Duke of Yuanping County...... Combined with a few hidden facts at the moment, in the matter of Pei's family, our fourth sister may really be 'innocent', maybe the person who poisoned Pei's family is Liu Yuyi, he not only used this to completely get rid of his involvement with the Pei family, but also made the fourth sister a suspect and was secretly discussed. ”
On the other hand, Wei Xiaomei was shocked and excited when she heard this, and then slapped her thigh: "I didn't expect that the Duke of Yuanping County is really vicious, and the fourth sister can be regarded as planted this time, but Sister, the Duke of Yuanping County has the intention to deceive you, and it is also disloyal and disrespectful, this person is so scheming, Sister Ah has to be careful." ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "It is precisely because his scheming city government is not exposed that he is more useful, I have no interest entanglement with the Yuanping County Prince, he can't calculate me, let alone calculate." ”
Now, in the mind of the Queen Mother, Aunt Liu is properly separated from Mrs. Wei's mother and son, and there is no suspicion.
