Chapter 357: Selfishness
Fat Mama didn't want to take any more risks anyway.
These days, they are inquiring about the whereabouts of their former accomplices in Chang'an, and the more they inquire, the more frightened they become. If she wasn't worried that she would be punished by the Sun family after returning to Beijing, she would have left Chang'an, a place of right and wrong, immediately, so as not to live a frightened life.
But the thin mama said, "Even if they threaten to let us out, we have to have proof." We're not little people with no roots, we can do whatever they say. We have the support of the nobles in the palace behind us! ”
The fat grandmother choked for a moment and whispered: "My old sister, although we always say this in front of the Tang family, you and I both know that the old lady and Concubine Gong will not stand out for us!" We just deceived the Tang family, if it falls into the hands of the Zhou family, they can easily find out our details from the Queen Mother! ”
The thin mother was silent for a moment before she said, "But if we don't ask those two dead men clearly, how will we know what the concubine wants to do with that Jin Jiashu?" It's easy to kill people directly, but this may not be the original intention of the concubine. Although almost all of the Jin family died, Jin Jiashu was unharmed. How do you know, did he escape the chase by luck, or did the concubine Niangniang not intend to take his life in the first place? ”
The fat mama was stunned when she heard this: "How is it possible?!" Sun Guifei has sent dead soldiers to kill his entire family, it must be cut down and eradicated, it can't just be to scare people! ”
The thin grandmother looked at the old sister with a serious expression: "You have to think clearly, we have been away from Beijing for many years, and the situation in the palace has changed a lot. Now Concubine Xu Xian is not a newly sealed concubine, she has a prince by her side, and she is still the only prince under the knees of the saint! ”
The fat mama whispered, "It's not the only one. When the Fourth Highness returns to the sect, there will be two princes under the knees of the Holy Lord. ”
The thin grandmother sighed: "What if the Fourth Highness returns to the sect? He was not born to Sun Guifei. Lu Zhaorong also had a grudge against Sun Guifei in the past. If it weren't for Sun Guifei's deliberate persecution, their mother and son would not have had to go through the road of succession, but it would have hindered the establishment of the fourth highness as a prince. At present, in order to successfully return to the sect and establish the prince, they will curry favor with Sun Guifei and the Sun family everywhere. But when the Fourth Highness gets the throne, do you think Lu Zhaorong will allow the Sun family to continue to be beautiful?! I can see things clearly, Sun Guifei has no reason not to see clearly. Sun Ge Lao has no choice, so he can only support the Four Highnesses. But do you think Sun Guifei is really willing?! ”
Fat Mama said: "Even if you are unwilling, as long as Your Royal Highness marries the daughter of the Sun family and gives birth to an heir to inherit the throne in the future, Concubine Sun can still enjoy wealth and honor in the palace, what else is there to be unwilling?" It's better than letting the eighth prince be the prince, and the queen mother will be Concubine Xu Xian in the future. Concubine Xu Xian is a member of the Zhou family, she has gained power, but I am afraid that Concubine Sun Guifei may not even be able to save her life, and when the saint goes, she will be forced to be martyred, just like Chang Niangniang did back then. ”
The thin grandmother sighed, and simply said more clearly: "Concubine Sun may not mind killing Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, anyway, the Holy Lord will protect her, and Concubine Xu Xian can't do anything about her." In the future, when the saint is shang, she will drive away with a glass of poisonous wine, and Concubine Xu Xian will have to bury her beautifully. But you and I are just small people, and we need to think more about ourselves. Regardless of whether Sun Guifei wants to kill Concubine Xu Xian's nephew or not, we can't be hands-on people, and we have to leave a way back for ourselves. ”
The fat mama was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and asked in a low voice: "What are you...... Not optimistic about the Sun family and the Fourth Highness? Backed off? But the eighth prince is still so young...... Even if His Royal Highness goes out, he is still a 'long monarch'! ”
The thin grandmother sighed: "When the Fourth Highness invited himself to succeed, how much anger the Holy Lord had, you and I have seen it with our own eyes. If it weren't for the Fourth Highness's justification that he wanted to let King Ji's entire family business fall into the hands of the saint, so as to vent his anger for the saint, the saint would only be afraid that he would be beaten to death at that time, and he would not let him recognize the enemy as his father. But His Royal Highness said it well at the beginning, and then he knew that there was no one to succeed him under the knees of the saint, so he regretted returning to the sect. Can the Holy One be happy? But as long as he has other princes here, it is impossible for him to recognize this disobedient son again! ”
Thin Mama was a bystander, she felt that the Sun family had no other choice at that time, so she supported King Ji's son. Unexpectedly, the emperor was seriously ill and did not die, and he had an eighth prince, but his biological mother was a palace person next to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and they had no way to change people. Now the road is going dark, but it is getting narrower and narrower, and it doesn't look like it has a chance of winning.
She said to the fat mama, "Didn't we hear about it in the Tang family?" The princess of King Ji died, leaving no son and half a daughter, and the Sun family could only let Miss Sun Er marry her, and did not hesitate to kill the prince of Yingchuan. When Miss Sun Er marries and gives birth to a son, it will take at least two years of hard work. God knows if the Holy One will last that long?!
"And if the prince of King Ji fails to have an heir with the Sun family, do you think the Sun family will dare to help him return to the throne? The Zhou family supported the Holy Lord's succession back then, and what reward did they get? The precedent is still there, how can the Sun family make a wedding dress for the Fourth Highness in vain? ! They are not one heart, and time waits for no one, what are the chances of the Sun family winning in the end? No matter how I think about it, I think that as long as the Eighth Prince does not die young, he will definitely be the last to succeed him! ”
The more the fat mama listened, the more discouraged she became: "We really got on the wrong boat back then!" If we hadn't voted for the Sun family, how could we have fallen into such a difficult predicament now?! ”
The thin mama sighed, "So, we have to leave a way back for ourselves!" At present, we are controlled by the Sun family, and if we want to protect ourselves, we have to contribute to his family, but we can't really kill Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, in case Concubine Xu Xian gains power in the future and retaliates against you and me. Even if he really wants to die, it can't be us! ”
The fat mama was a little confused: "Then what should we do?" ”
The thin grandmother thought for a while: "If you don't want to go to the prison to see those two dead soldiers, then we won't go, but we have to make it look like we can reach them, and when we turn around, we will tell the others that we have quietly met people, and we are sure that Sun Guifei wants to tie people back to Beijing alive, and does not plan to kill people directly." Concubine Xu Xian's nephew has to live in order to make Concubine Xu Xian obedient, and if she dies, it will be useless, and maybe it will cause Concubine Sun Guifei's plan to fail. In this way, in order to curry favor with Sun Guifei, others will not dare to hurt people easily, and will only tie people up and escort them back to Beijing......"
The fat mama couldn't help but interrupt her: "No! Chang'an is thousands of miles away from the capital, and Jin Jiashu is not a milk doll, at the mercy of others. Although he is lame, he can scream and struggle, how can he be obedient and obedient and not resist all the way? ”
"Then find a place to hide people." Slender Mama said, "As long as the hostages are in our hands, and then ask others to send a letter to the capital and ask Sun Guifei how to deal with Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, we don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." With such a great contribution, we can go back to the capital with peace of mind, and the Sun family has no reason to punish us again. Wait until we pass this level, and then quietly tell the Zhang family about the matter, and let them go to report to Concubine Xu Xian. When the time comes, no matter whether the person is rescued or not, Concubine Xu Xian will have to remember the love of the Zhang family. The Zhang family took this opportunity to curry favor with the Queen Mother and Concubine Xu Xian, and they will have their own benefits in the future, so they will be willing to protect us and provide for us in the elderly? ”
The fat mama clasped her hands in surprise and said, "Good idea! I didn't even expect this layer! "When it comes to pension, it is naturally more reliable to stay with the old club.
She also added to her companion's plan: "When we arrest people, we have to hide behind from beginning to end, and ask others to take the lead." In the future, we will have to pretend that we have nothing to do with it. In this way, if Concubine Xu Xian wants to take revenge in the future, she will not be able to repay us. ”
The thin grandmother nodded, and called the maid who was in charge of inquiring about the news: "Xiaocui, the court of Ming'er Mansion is open, and you accompany me to observe the results." Afterwards, you want to follow the golden tree and find the place where he is now......"
