Feng Xi already appreciated You Jiao's directness, and the benefits You Jiao could offer were considerable and sincere, so although she did not directly promise that she would let Shen Ge go, she said she would mention the matter to Qi Xiao.
After entering the capital, they had already carefully inquired about Feng Xi and Qi Xiao, and found out that the prince-in-law You Jiao was very attentive to the princess, and her heart was relieved at that time.
Emperor Shengde directly gave him a generous reward and asked Zhao Xi to arrange for him to stay in the palace tonight.
And because someone died in the left side hall, Emperor Shengde naturally had to arrange for Feng Xi to live in the right side hall.
In response to this, Feng Xi directly stated that she was not afraid of this and did not want to move away.
Unexpectedly, a certain old father kept persuading her until he got tired of her and successfully asked her to move to the right side hall.
"Zhao Xi, who do you think this Tang Sanzang is who is seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West? Why do you think I look like him?"
Zhao Xi: "..."
He didn't know who Tang Sanzang was. He only knew that the princess's words were definitely not a good thing.
"Mother, is our plan successful or not? It's all because of Mrs. Shen's random actions. If it weren't for her, you would have been able to stop Mrs. Wang."
At the same time, in Jingren Palace, Qiu Yu, who had been following Concubine Liu Xian, finally couldn't help but complain.
The reason why she asked Concubine Liu Xian and the others whether they were successful was because it seemed possible to use the Wang family to stir up trouble between the emperor and the princess's family and the prince and the fourth prince.
But they wanted to use this to get close to Feng Xi and use Feng Xi to ask for favor, but they blew it.
After all, she was a servant, and she didn't know which of the two things was more important to her mother-in-law, so she had to ask in detail.
To be honest, if Na Youjiao hadn't grabbed the credit at the critical moment, the two things they expected would have come true.
"It doesn't matter. As long as the Chu family wants to use me to reverse the case for Concubine Chu Shu, I will find an opportunity to surrender to Feng Xi."
Twisting the Buddhist beads lightly in her hand, Liu Xianfei's smile was as gentle as water, holy and harmless.
Concubine Chu Shu has something to do with her and Yun Xuan, but does she not have something to do with Concubine Chu Shu and Concubine Fang?
You must know that she deliberately guided Concubine Chu Shu to break into Yunxuan's secret in the past, just to allow Yunxuan to sneak into the Chu family smoothly and gain the favor of the fourth prince because of her leverage.
Now that they don't want to be used by the Chu family anymore, they naturally have to get out in time and give the Chu family a blow~
At the morning court meeting the next morning, while all the officials were still cursing and cursing over the conviction of Shen Ge and others, Emperor Sheng De directly broke the news that Feng Xi was assassinated again last night, and the assassin was the third wife of the Chu family, Wang.
At the same time, he also pointed out that Wang bluntly stated that it was Concubine Chu Shu and the Chu family who instigated her assassination, and she eventually died at the hands of Concubine Chu Shu.
Wow!
The entire court was boiling for a while, and the fourth prince's eyes widened in disbelief.
How can this be!
In response to this, the head of the Chu family, Chu Yu, and the second master, Chu Xiong, looked at each other and immediately argued:
"Your Majesty, there must be some serious misunderstanding in this matter. Our Chu family is loyal to you and to Da Zhao. How could we send someone to assassinate His Highness Zhaoming? Furthermore, our Chu family, not to mention how smart we are, are at least not stupid enough to send our own People go..."
"Brother is right, Your Majesty. The Wang family has been crazy because of the imprisonment of her third brother. She must have a grudge against the princess, and she is also angry with our Chu family for not rescuing our third brother, so she wants to take revenge on us!"
At this moment, they don't care about any family scandal that cannot be made public...
The third wife of the Chu family assassinated the princess in front of all the palace people, bit the Chu family in front of the emperor, and was finally killed by their little sister.
What is this thing called?
The two of them felt that they would not dare to write like this in a book sold outside!
After hearing the testimonies of the eunuchs and imperial guards who witnessed the incident, and learning that Concubine Liu Xian was present throughout the whole process, they finally found a chance to breathe.
"Wang's assassination of Zhaoming is of great importance, and I cannot just listen to Wang's side of the story. Therefore, the matter will be handed over to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai Department for joint investigation. You must give me an explanation!"
"yes!"
Among the officials, Qi Xiao also looked ugly after receiving the news.
Another assassination...
Moreover, the tip of his hairpin was dipped in medicine, and it was obvious that he wanted his little phoenix to fall into a deep sleep and directly knock the entire princess family into the quagmire.
Those people really just stay still, but when they move, they frequently make strange moves!
"As for Concubine Chu Shu's crime of killing Wang, let's wait until Wang's actions are investigated clearly before deciding."
Although Emperor Shengde saw Concubine Chu Shu murdering someone with his own eyes, he was not a fool. He naturally knew that Concubine Chu Shu was probably taken away by the Wang family.
But he didn't have the slightest fondness for this woman who gave birth to a son for him, but deliberately wanted to die so that the seat under him could be given to her son.
Therefore, he was happy to take this opportunity to control Concubine Chu Shu and see what trouble the Chu family would cause.
At the same time, he also wanted to see the purpose of those behind the scenes and see if they would accidentally reveal themselves.
Finally, the morning court ended with refutation and discussion of this unexpected incident. The three divisions soon met after leaving the court and began to investigate the Wang family and the Chu family.
And You Jiao, who had rested in the palace all night, also left the palace in a low-key manner and went directly back to the west courtyard of Shen Mansion.
But as soon as she arrived, the people from the Prince's Mansion came to the door with shy faces.
"You should know about the assassination of Madam that happened in the palace last night, right? Our Highness and the First Assistant have no other intentions. We just want to invite you to come over and have a chat. As for other things, everyone can talk about it, right?"
Zhui Ming looked at You Jiao with a smile, hoping that she would be more sensible and follow him.
"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Chief Assistant are also interested in what happened last night?"
You Jiao smiled.
She came out very low-key this morning. Not only did she not bring the reward given by the emperor, but she also made up her mind to conceal her rescue of the princess.
After all, the Prince's Mansion, the Fang family and the Shen family now feel guilty about her, and they are still polite in everything they say and do.
But if they know that she has surrendered to the Princess Protector's Mansion, then what she wants to do next may not go so smoothly.
"Of course I'm interested."
Zhui Ming nodded, the Chu family was playing a big game. If they could seize this opportunity, they would not worry about giving the Chu family a heavy blow.
As someone who witnessed the entire incident, You Jiao could obviously tell them a lot of useful information.
How could You Jiao, who was equally intelligent, not know what Zhui Ming knew?
Therefore, You Jiao quickly smiled at Zhui Ming and made her request straightforwardly:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the Chief Assistant can ask me to come over to the palace to talk, but I want the third princess to go back to the palace to apologize to me and personally welcome me to the Prince's Mansion. I, You Jiao, only have this request. If His Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the Chief Assistant cannot If you do it, then we don’t have to talk anymore.”
What she had just learned from her current master was not to internalize yourself, but to go crazy and disgust others!
