Lan Ning came into the palace to pay her respects and said, "I went to the Queen's house first and was rejected. She said that the Queen was unwell and she was nowhere to be seen today.
Thinking that the Sixth Prince and the Concubine Xian were recuperating, and it was not convenient to go there and disturb them, they came directly to see the Concubine. "
"There is chaos in the palace now. What happened that day has not been investigated clearly, and it will not stop for a while." Concubine Fu said, "How are you doing outside these days?"
"My daughter-in-law came to the palace specially today because she heard some rumors from outside. She felt bad and came to the palace to report them." When Lan Ning said this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Come and listen." Concubine Fu said.
"I don't know where it came from. It said that Lin'er came to earth with destiny, and there were some other nonsense. In short, it was spread out of shape, and I thought it was going to cause trouble." Lan Ning said.
Concubine Fu was not surprised when she heard this, and said: "There are similar rumors in the palace, and they must have reached the Queen's ears a long time ago."
"Then... this is obviously intentional." Lan Ning became even more uneasy, "The reason for creating such a momentum is to praise us!"
"Who says it's not the case? When I got up early, I felt my eyelids twitching all the time, so I called Hengzhao girl over and told her." Concubine Fu glanced at Xue Hengzhao as she spoke, "She also said that this She expected it."
When Lan Ning heard what Concubine Fu said, she felt much relieved. She looked at Xue Hengzhao and said, "What do you think of this matter? How should we deal with it?"
"The Fifth Princess is right, some people are indeed using such remarks to create momentum, but the most fundamental thing is that the Queen is afraid of us.
The rumor-mongers were equally aware of this, and they seized the opportunity to force the Queen to take action as soon as possible. "Xue Hengzhao saw the situation in front of him clearly, "And the Queen is very likely to make a fuss about recent events. "
"The latest thing, are you talking about Tian'en Palace?" Lan Ning asked hurriedly.
"My servant thinks so. After all, at the banquet that day, the prince made a fool of himself, but the emperor's eldest grandson made a meritorious deed.
According to the Queen's temperament, everything must be done thoroughly. Only by blaming us for what happened that day can we make the emperor hate us as much as possible.
After all, what upset the queen the most about the whole thing was the emperor's praise and respect for the emperor's eldest grandson. It was because Emperor Yongjia had taken a fancy to the emperor's grandson, Emperor Huiping, that he deposed the prince and established a new seventh prince.
Later, Huiping flourished, and this reform was also called a wise move. Based on the past experience, the queen was naturally extremely fearful. "
"What you said, Heng Zhao, really makes sense." Lan Ning couldn't help but feel chills running down her back, "Then the Queen will frame this matter on us, how will she defend herself at that time? Are you sure? "
"If the queen wants to frame us, she can only start from three aspects: witnesses, testimony, and evidence.
After catching the murderer, we will ask him to admit that he was instigated by us, and then produce some evidence prepared in advance to deceive everyone. "Since they are queens, they haven't decided on their strategy yet, but Xue Hengzhao has already figured out which way they are going to take, "It will be natural to decide what to do when the time comes, but we have to make some plans in advance. "
"What do you need me to do? Tell me." Lan Ning asked.
"They are not likely to frame anything on you, Fifth Prince. After all, you are outside the palace." Xue Hengzhao said, "If I ask you then, just say you don't know anything about it."
"Then Concubine Mother..." Lan Ning looked at Concubine Fu, her eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry, Fifth Princess, I will make preparations in advance." Xue Hengzhao said with a smile.
"Since you already have a plan in mind, I won't ask any more questions. After all, things are done in a secret way." Lan Ning nodded towards her, "I just hope that everything goes well and that my mother and concubine are safe."
"Okay, you've been here for a while, it's time to go back." Concubine Fu said, "I'm afraid there are countless people staring at our place now. The longer it goes, the more suspicious it becomes."
After hearing this, Lan Ning stood up and left, saying, "In that case, my wife will resign."
"Bishu Youzhu, please give me a gift for the fifth prince's concubine." Concubine Fu ordered the maids outside.
Although Xue Hengzhao said that he would make preparations in advance, he did not see any action from her until the evening.
She didn't move, and Concubine Fu didn't urge her.
It wasn't until after the lamp was turned on that Xue Hengzhao asked Concubine Fu for instructions: "Empress, I want to go out to Yuzao Palace."
"Are you going to see Concubine Li?" Concubine Fu asked, "Isn't she unreliable?"
"We don't need how reliable she is, as long as she wants to overthrow the Queen now." Xue Hengzhao said, "For now, between you and the Queen, she would rather the Queen fall first."
"That's true. If the queen is allowed to stay until the end, Concubine Li will definitely not end well." Concubine Fu also knew this.
Xue Hengzhao put on a dark cloak without carrying a lantern, called Chi Su, and went to Tamamo Palace with her.
Tamamo Palace and Furong Palace, one is in the east and the other is in the west, very far apart.
The two of them were hidden in the night and could not be noticed unless they came closer.
And deliberately took the path less traveled.
When passing behind Xuanhui Palace, I heard some palace people talking.
"You said there is a lot of uproar in the womb these days, but is it true?"
"What did you say? But about the emperor's eldest grandson?"
"That's right. He has a nose and eyes. I kind of believe it."
"Don't spread rumors. Didn't you hear that someone was punished a few days ago?"
"Aren't I just talking to you? I don't dare to mention it to others."
"That's right. Since the death of the Queen Mother, almost no one has come to our place. In addition, the Yucai people in Caiwei Pavilion were sentenced to death later, and no one lives here now. Let's say something. It’s almost as good as a bird or a shit.”
"Don't go too far, let's just say that the emperor's eldest grandson is really a star in the sky descending to earth?"
"I don't know anything else, but the emperor's eldest grandson has the birthmark of the ax on his arm, but it's true. None of the current princes have it."
"Yes, this alone is strange enough. And I heard that at the Queen's birthday party that day, he kept crying and refused to let the Emperor sit down. Such a small child actually knew good and bad luck. This is amazing enough. "
"Hum, don't worry about the emperor's eldest grandson. Anyway, our current prince cannot be helped up.
The companion reading in the East Palace almost had his hands smashed into pieces. I still can’t memorize all of the Four Books of the Prince.
In the past, being the prince's companion was a great job, but now those people just can't say it out loud, but in fact, they feel discouraged in their hearts. "
Chi Su pulled Xue Hengzhao, and the two of them crossed against the wall.
It wasn't until they were far away that Chi Su breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen to what those two palace servants said, the prince is indeed somewhat unpopular."
