After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Nothing seemed to happen in Zhaoyang Palace.

When the commotion broke out yesterday, Mr. Peng Liang tightly closed the door of the small courtyard, leaving several talented and middle-aged people completely unaware of the situation. However, Mr. Peng Liang later learned how big of a crisis happened in Zhaoyang Palace. Today Seeing Yingshu coming over, she also wanted to follow and receive a scolding from Madam Xie. Seeing these two dejected little girls, Madam Xie really couldn't lose her temper.

"That's all, the Changfeng Palace hasn't collapsed yet, but my Zhaoyang Palace is quite turbulent. It really boosts other people's ambitions and destroys my own prestige."

Seeing that Yingshu was still restrained, Mrs. Is it okay to go out?"

"Aunt..."

"Come here quickly, get closer to the fumigation cage." Mrs. Xie waited for Yingshu to snuggle into her arms, then sighed: "You don't have to make up lies. I know it in my heart. I know what's going on. I also know that you know what is going on. If you tell the truth to His Majesty what I told you today, then our relationship will be really broken. Emperor Xiu, I know why you lied to me yesterday. I'm fine, I'm afraid I fell into the trap, but it's all thanks to you, otherwise I would have capsized in the gutter this time."

Yingshu felt sad, she knew she couldn't deceive Mrs. Xie.

"Actually, I can understand what Your Majesty did. I'm angry because he clearly failed me first and then used me as a stepping stone for Queen Yu! I treat you as a daughter and don't tell you those hypocritical words. If you let me live As the second prince, I must fight for the throne and the reserve position. The obstacle in my heart is how virtuous and capable the Yu family, mother and son, are."

That is, how can one be so virtuous! ! !

"When I was young, my father doted on a concubine. She was very proud of her favor. It was my grandmother who used Jue Si Decoction on her. The decoction was so overbearing that the woman was bedridden for three months. Although she seemed to recover later. But in just a few years, I became extremely haggard. I was thinking yesterday, if Your Majesty is more sinister and allows Queen Yu to use that vicious poison on me, then turns around and executes Queen Yu, and makes me the queen. , let the prince think of me as my mother, and I was completely taken advantage of. I was really angry yesterday, but after calming down, I actually figured it out."

"Aunt..."

"There are some truths I don't want to hear." Mrs. Xie patted Yingshu's cheek and raised her face: "I was too conceited. At first, I really thought that as long as I deliberately invited favors, I would definitely win His Majesty's favor. I am so competitive that I am totally convinced when I lose to you, but I don’t admit losing to others. In fact, I think too highly of myself, and I can be considered guilty of it.”

Yingshu couldn't bear it anymore, so she told Mrs. Xie everything that Zijiang said earlier.

"Do you feel sorry for Zi Jiang?"

"No." Yingshu said resolutely: "Few people in the world dare to admit that they hate the king of a country. She dares to. She also dares to point out the injustice with her own hands. She dares to risk her life for her friends. Although she was born in poverty, she But he lives better than many people."

"She doesn't understand." Mrs. Xie looked at the exquisite furnishings in the Nuan Pavilion, and her slender eyebrows were slightly lowered: "If she understood, she would know that even if she was born into a powerful family, she would actually be treated as a chess piece that can be discarded at any time. She shouldn't resent His Majesty, she shouldn't even resent His Majesty. If you want to get rid of the law of the jungle, you can't hit the stone with an egg. In fact, it's the same for everyone. How many of us daughters who were born into noble families can have our own destiny?

Dixiu, even your mother-in-law was almost forced to reconcile with your father? If she had been a cowardly woman, if she had compromised her rights and interests, her life would have been different from what it is now. Zijiang did have pitiable qualities, but she did not live a clear and clear life. "

Mrs. Xie lowered her eyelids and looked at Yingshu's black and green hair. The pearls on her bun were so bright that they reflected her blurred eyebrows. She really wanted to sigh.

"If you marry a prince's wife, not as an emperor's wife, then your father was highly valued by my father at that time. If he chose me as his wife, I would not enter the palace, but your father chose your mother-in-law." , then I had no choice but to enter the palace. I once thought about threatening death, but I am also a proud person. I don’t want your father to look down on me. I also thought at that time that it was me who made your mother happy. But then I woke up. Even if I trampled myself into the dust, I still couldn't stop your father from choosing the woman he truly loved.

The bad life I had in the imperial court was due to my own shortcomings. If I had been 50% as sane as Concubine Jian, I wouldn't have forced Your Majesty to use the medicine to exterminate my heir. Similarly, if Zijiang lives a sober and understanding life, she should know the real way to preserve Zimo. "

Yingshu didn't know why, her eyes were swollen.

"Use your own life in exchange for your friend's freedom." Mrs. Xie smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Zijiang had the opportunity to directly submit her love to His Majesty, but she did not do so. She has been forced by the Queen because she wanted to have both. Just like I have always wanted you to enter the palace. I have no children. I want to take you away from your mother-in-law. I am so stubborn. I should have expected it. I am too greedy, so I will not be able to do it. But Dixiu, yesterday you tried your best to stop me from going to Qianyang Palace, which made me completely sober.

You child, you are too affectionate. You actually feel sorry for me. You could just sit back and watch, but you still prevented me from seeking my own death. What you tried your best to maintain was to prevent me from turning against His Majesty. You have deceived me. , but the truth I told you is more cruel than your deception to me. "

"Auntie, I only entered the palace for one thing." Yingshu stood up and leaned into Mrs. Xie's ear: "I will not let the prince succeed to the throne!"

Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows high.

Yingshu had already made up her mind: "I can't tell my aunt the reason now, but from the beginning, I decided to enter the palace to make the prince lose his wealth. I will not obey my aunt's wishes and become your majesty's harem, because I know in my heart that Your Majesty will not..."

"Your Majesty wants to consolidate the reserve." Madam Xie patted Yingshu on the shoulder: "After hearing what you said today, I understand everything. Your Majesty wants to consolidate the reserve, but you have to do something that is impossible, so you entered the palace. I I don’t know why you did this, but today you are willing to tell the truth to me, Dixiu, I really, really appreciate you.

Yesterday I really wanted to question His Majesty. I was very angry. My anger stemmed from the fact that I had been fooled. Although I admitted that I did not regard him as my husband. I entered the palace to obey the orders of my family, but my family did serve Sikong. The royal family was able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, which enabled the continuation of the country of Dayu, and made contributions for them to be able to hold on to half of the country! We, the sons of the Xie family, fight for the power of the Sikong family without fear of death or injury. I am the wife personally conferred by the king of a country. My father knows your majesty’s plan. In order to consolidate the imperial power, Chenjun Xie has been dedicated to checking and balancing He , Zheng and other powerful figures, the Xie clan is also prepared to confront these powerful figures, and their own strength will also be weakened.

I do have my own desires, but I feel that this is the reward that the Sikong royal family should give me. I can accept losing in the Chu war, losing to the Yu family, losing to women like the He family and the Zheng family, but Sikong Tong should not fool me, What I'm angry about is that he doesn't keep his word. He only treats me and Chen Junxie as his running dog. The cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked. Although he is a king, how can he be benevolent and righteous in his behavior?

You blocked me, so I had time to calm down. I know that once the hypocritical surface is lifted and the ugly truth is exposed, I will never be able to win back the reward I deserve on my own. Emperor Xiu, I am now Knowing my goal, no matter which of Sikong Tong's sons is ranked as high as 95, no matter who his biological mother is, I will still fight for the throne of Yongle Palace. My family can submit to the imperial power, but it must not be subject to it. Even if Sikong Tong doesn't give up on Jiang Donghe and Changping Zheng's oppression, I won't give up. "

Therefore, Yingshu told her the truth. Yingshu would never help the prince, let alone Queen Yu. She felt comforted in her heart. She did not want to be an enemy of Yingshu. From today on, she could work hand in hand with Yingshu completely and sincerely. .

"It's a blessing that my aunt doesn't complain about me." Yingshu held Mrs. Xie's hand. She knew that Mrs. Xie's words today were to relieve her of the burden she was carrying. Mrs. Xie didn't want to hear lies anymore. She didn’t want to tell any more lies. Although the honor that Mrs. Xie fought for seemed like a passing thing to some people, Yingshu understood how important the honor for the rest of her life was to Mrs. Xie.

In her life, apart from honor, she had nothing else to pursue.

She couldn't ask for her family to take her happiness, joy, and safety as their priority, for the people beside her to treat her with true love, for her children to support her, and for family happiness and joy. All she could fight for was not to be raped. Abandoned like a shoe, she will never see a desolate future. She strives to live a radiant life, at least she will not become a miserable and ridiculous unfortunate person in the eyes of others.

Mrs. Xie has never been indispensable to anyone, but she has always lived among flowers, so she will not be ridiculed and abandoned.

"His Majesty still didn't agree to punish Mr. Zheng yesterday, right?" Ying Shu sat upright and looked sideways at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie smiled: "I just said it deliberately. I actually know in my heart that, let alone Your Majesty, you still care about the third prince. Even if Your Majesty is really determined to deal with the Zheng family, it is impossible for Changping Zheng Shang to treat the Zheng family as an abandoned son. Your Majesty also It's impossible to blame her."

"I have an idea."

Yingshu whispered her plan.

Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty will probably be angry if we do nothing wrong."

"My aunt wants your majesty to believe that there is no suspicion, so you can't accept Guiren Zheng's conspiracy and calculation in vain, and you won't fight back at all, and isn't it me? I am sure that I can convince your majesty to solemnize the legal system in the palace, although Guiren Zheng still has With the support of Changping Zheng, His Majesty cannot accuse her and depose her, but if Zheng Guiren can still escape unscathed after committing such a crime, wouldn't it be impossible to stop the inner court from using palace people to harm the emperor?

I am afraid that Your Majesty will no longer sit idly by and ignore even the evil things that the Queen carried out behind his back. He should also be unable to tolerate Guiren Zheng's arrogance and cruelty. "

"That's fine, but let's stay put for the next three days and wait and see what will happen to Zheng?"

-

Naturally, the fact that Zijiang was thrown into Cangmen Prison could not be hidden from Zheng Guiren, who was "smart in hearing and seeing" in the inner court. She knew that her plan had failed, and although she was disappointed, she was not very angry. It was only that day when the third prince heard the news and rushed to Changfeng Palace to ask for evidence, Zheng Gui showed a bit of anger.

"I heard that during this period of time in your Jiaojia Mansion, you actually read classics, history and policy theory behind closed doors? Although it is a good thing to enrich your knowledge, you also have to know your priorities clearly, right? Do you know that Xie Jin, in order to keep Xie Shen, In order to keep the important position of Dazhongzheng, he has already incited his followers to impeach our subordinates from Changping and Zheng’s faction!”

"My father has long intended to rectify the Chinese army. Since Xie Shen is not the only one who breaks the law, no matter which family he is from, anyone who commits the same crime as Xie Shen will be punished."

"You study behind closed doors, can you understand this pedantic truth?" Zheng Guiren raised his eyebrows: "I made a plan to ask He Ao to come forward to impeach Xie Jin, in order to make your grandfather stand upright! He Ao is stupid , I only thought that he could take over Xie Jin and replace him, but what kind of foundation does he have in Jiangdong He? It is impossible for He Ao to be recognized by many noble families who moved south! But if your grandfather is also implicated because of this incident, what will I say? The plan will fail!"

"Is that why mother is eager to target Zhaoyang Palace at this time? Does mother know that Zi Jiang actually intends to slander his father..."

"That's not slander at all!" Guiren Zheng said, "Why do you think I want you to befriend Imperial Doctor Liu? I have already found out that Luo Shi is obeying the Queen's orders, and Luo Shi is actually covering up a palace maid and a kitchen waiter from the Food and Drug Administration. The serious crime of fornication and fornication, although the palace people have always had a tacit agreement to execute it in private, it is hidden from His Majesty after all. If it is executed in private, it is excusable, but those who harbor, connive and commit adultery are regarded as the same crime.

Luo's fatal clue fell into my hands, and she told me the truth. I was hesitant to believe it, and there was no time to expose it at that time, so I wanted to test Dr. Liu to verify it. Luo told me personally that it was His Majesty who asked the Queen to handle the matter of extinguishing the Xie family. The Queen originally wanted Luo to poison her, but Luo was worried about being silenced after doing so, so she recommended to the Queen Zi Jiang, who was still a maid at the time. The leader, Bai, was from a noble family. Although he had a gentle temperament and showed great pity to the little palace ladies who came from poor families, he was determined not to allow anyone to dare to use medicinal food to harm others.

Zijiang has a close friendship with Tai, a young palace girl who is under the care of Bai personally. However, although Zijiang is young, in Luo's opinion, Zijiang is quite ambitious. Zijiang can take advantage of her, and if Zijiang is killed in the Food and Drug Administration, Bai will certainly Get to the bottom of it. Bringing Zijiang in can at least reduce the risk of being silenced.

Luo Shi said so eloquently that I thought of this plan. I only regretted that it was Wang Yingshu who disturbed the situation again and actually tried to dissuade Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie was really a fool. She actually believed Wang Yingshu's sophistry and couldn't believe the truth before her! "

The third prince lowered his head and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

If Zhongnvshi had not been extremely clever, she would have been protected by her father just because she was the granddaughter of Linyi, but she would never have been so valued by him. Even if this matter was really his father's idea, Zhongnvshi would have been He already knew about it, and first, Luo and Bai contracted diseases and died in the Hospice Department, and then He privately executed the palace maid. The middle daughter Shi knew that the executed palace maid and Zi Jiang were good friends, how could she not be careful?

Zheng Guiren supported Bu Yao on her bun. In fact, she was not without any panic in her heart. She knew that her plan would have flaws because there were two people she could not silence, such as the one who won over He for her to use. If Zeng Nuzhi is exposed, she is likely to be confessed under torture. Although if her plan goes well, even Zeng will not be exposed, but the situation is already extremely bad. If His Majesty is determined to pursue it, it will not be difficult to find out the truth. Jiang's rise to prominence was due to her being behind the scenes.

However, Zheng Guiren believed that the worst result would be for the emperor to neglect Changfeng Palace even more.
