The most important thing is that if the evidence of the other party can be found so easily by King Yong, it just shows that the mastermind behind this is not necessarily the mother and son. As for whether the Concubine De, who was in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, knew about this matter, Huang Qiong maintained a positive attitude. Although the concubine De was not necessarily the mastermind behind the incident, she must have played a role in the rumor spreading so quickly.
At least on this matter, she was optimistic. Things in the palace may not be caused by her. But the rumors spreading so quickly in the city had something to do with the mother and son. If this matter was really not done by Concubine De. I'm afraid there's a big, lively fish hidden under the murky water. Prince Yong's temperament is too rough, so getting involved in this matter may not be a blessing.
When those people have no choice but to target him, I am afraid that my seventh brother will be in trouble. He doesn't know martial arts. Although he is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, he is a bit carefree in nature. His finesse is still not enough among his brothers. Without taking a closer look, there are problems all over his body, whether they are overt or covert, they are not something he can deal with.
If those people target him, it will definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for King Yong. It was for this reason that I didn't let him get too involved in this matter. It's just that this guy doesn't seem to appreciate it. Forget it, what are you doing competing with this bastard? Just thinking about the rumors, Huang Qiong's brows furrowed more and more. It's really a good time for this rumor to arise.
It seemed that the people hiding in the dark, who disliked his mother and son, were not just Concubine De and King Song. There is a big fish hiding under the water. But in this matter, someone is still unwilling to do so and wants to cause trouble for himself. I still want to thoroughly mix the water so that I can fish in troubled waters, so I have to think carefully about it.
King Yong moved very quickly. Before Huang Qiong could figure out a clue, he had already returned to Wende Hall with Prince Yongqing. Looking at the man standing in front of him, he was so frightened that he was trembling all over and sobbing all the time. Seeing him, Prince Yongqing, who would have been lying on the ground if Prince Yong hadn't held his hand, Huang Qiong's already frowned brows couldn't help but frown even deeper.
Especially when he saw the suspicious moisture in his eight-year-old brother's crotch, Huang Qiong held back his anger. How does this temperament look like what a disciple of the Tian family should do? They are simply not as courageous as those children from ordinary families, and even to a certain extent, not as courageous as those children from farm families. It seems that all the hard work he put into these younger brothers last year was in vain.
He arranged for several of his close guards to send Prince Yongqing to Prince Yong's Mansion first. King Yong, who breathed a sigh of relief, said with a sullen face before Huang Qiong spoke: "Don't look at me like that, I really didn't do anything to that kid. I won't go there even if your seventh brother has no future." To scare him, an eight-year-old child. What’s more, he is our younger brother after all?”
"Originally, when I arrived at Su Zhaorong's palace, I just conveyed your edict and said that Prince Yongqing would be brought to live in my house for a few days. After hearing what I meant, Su Zhaorong didn't say anything, and he happily gave up. The eunuch took him out. When your guards took him away from the palace maid and eunuch, I always took our brother to a side hall to talk alone."
"It's just that when the boy heard his wet nurse crying when she was taken away, he ran out and hugged the wet nurse's thigh without letting go. Last year, your brothers and wet nurses were all sent out of the womb forcefully by you. But not long after you went to Longyou last year, most of the wet nurses were secretly brought back. In fact, the old man also knows about this, but I don’t know why he never took care of it. "
"The boy acted like this when he saw his wet nurse, the maids and eunuchs in Su Zhaorong's palace were all taken away. Don't be too impatient. In fact, our younger brothers are all like this. If you take away their mother and concubine, they may not cry. But if you take away their wet nurse and accompanying eunuch, these boys will probably cry more than if their own mother died."
King Yong's words made Huang Qiong frown and never let go. Holding back the anger in his heart, he paused and said, "How did Su Zhaorong behave when you took Prince Yongqing away? Was he begging, crying, or cursing me? Say whatever you want, there aren’t that many taboos between you and me. Just tell the truth.”
In response to Huang Qiong's rhetorical question, King Yong scratched his scalp and said with a puzzled expression: "This matter is beyond your expectation, but it is also beyond my expectation. That Su Zhaorong is both She didn’t beg, she didn’t cry, and she didn’t curse you. When I took away Prince Yongqing and the palace maids and eunuchs around her, she didn’t even stop me."
"On the contrary, when the palace maid and eunuch was taken away, she looked relieved. But why was she like this? It was not convenient for me to stay in her bedroom for too long, so I didn't ask any more questions. And I went to her bedroom. When bringing people, she seemed to have expected it. It turned out that when I went there, I also brought a few women with me, just because I was worried about her acting up, but in the end, they were useless. "
This somewhat unexpected result stunned Huang Qiong, who was already prepared for her concubine to make a big fuss at Xuexuan. Not only did he not cry or make a fuss, he was not only prepared, but he even looked relieved, which was a bit surprising. I am afraid that Su Zhaorong, who does not have a high status in the palace, at least knows something about this matter.
Huang Qiong raised his head and looked at the equally puzzled King Yong, but Huang Qiong didn't say anything more about this matter. He just said lightly: "This matter ends with you. Don't ask any more about this matter from now on. The water here is too deep, and you shouldn't get involved in it. If so, The mix-up is too deep, and it will have a bad influence on you and Concubine Zhuang."
"You go back first, and don't enter the palace again during this period. It's okay. Go to Sister Jincheng's place more often. If the mother and son need any help, arrange for your confidants to send a message to the widow. Except for Sister Jincheng, there are no other places. You also need to go to less places. I will arrange for someone to release your brother for you. However, you have to keep a closer eye on the Guilin County Prince's Courtyard."
"Send people to sneak in in the middle of the night to steal chickens and dogs. Don't do such stupid things from now on. Also, during this period of time, I ask you not to wander around. I am not asking you to do nothing in the house and just cultivate yourself. Learn more about the Hebei and Shandong Second Roads, especially the situation in the clan. After the seventh sister-in-law gives birth in a few months, I may send you on an errand."
After seeing what he said, King Yong scratched his head a little, but Huang Qiong ignored him. Instead, he said: "As for what the errand is, don't ask now. I won't tell you if I ask. Regarding the situation of the second clan, I will send someone to your house in the next few days. But this matter has not been settled yet. If you had spread the word before, you would have stayed in the capital for the rest of your life."
Having said this, he looked at King Yong who had an unnatural expression after hearing his last words. Huang Qiong sighed and said: "Seventh brother, as the saying goes, you need brothers to fight a tiger. In battle, father and son are always together. You, ninth brother, and I, among our brothers, you are the only one who cares about me now. Now I am in urgent need of my little brother's side." Someone who is responsible. Otherwise, even if my whole body is made of iron, how many nails can I make?"
"In this stall, if I don't rely on Brother Qi, who else can I rely on? There are some confidential things that the Tian family still needs to save, and it's not good to let foreign ministers do it. So it's better for Brother Qi to take more care of this stall. This is a den of disputes in the capital, and Seventh Brother has been messing around here for too long. Going out for a while can also broaden your horizons, and by the way, you can also help me solve some problems."
King Yong, who barely understood most of Huang Qiong's words, said nothing, cupped his hands and turned around to leave Wende Hall. But after leaving the Wende Hall, and walking along the way while recalling Huang Qiong's words just now, King Yong felt more and more that something was wrong. King Yong, who didn't fully understand it until he got on the sedan chair carrying the prince, couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
He later remembered that Prince Teng and Prince Ji, who had been transferred back to Beijing by the old man, didn't have their original fiefdoms on Hebei Road and Shandong Road? This ninth brother asked him to go to Shandong Road and Hebei Road, maybe he wanted to check those two people. Why did he suddenly think of those two people at this stall? Could it be that now that the ninth brother has gained power, he wants to kill the chickens and monkeys with King Teng and King Ji?
King Teng acted recklessly in his fiefdom, and became dishonest when he arrived in the capital. I thought that my previous brothers were all unlucky, and there were rumors about Prince Ji's life experience. He was the eldest son of the old man. I have always looked down on this ninth brother and said nothing, and he often caused trouble. He even went to the former Prince of England's palace to tease his concubine. He even colluded with the King of Song and caused a lot of trouble.
It can be said that there is a deep grudge against this ninth brother. This ninth brother is now the prince of the imperial court, and the old man has entrusted the great power of the imperial court. It can be said that he has become the number one person in the world. It is reasonable to want to rectify Prince Teng and vent his anger for his previous forbearance. And that bastard guy really needs to be cleaned up, otherwise he really thinks he is the right one.
Although this guy has caused a lot of trouble in the capital. But maybe he was at the feet of the emperor in the capital, under the nose of the old man, so he was not too out of the ordinary. Even if we check, it's just a big deal. To deal with him, it is natural to investigate the years since he became a feudal lord. That guy who caused a lot of shit in the fiefdom couldn't stand up to the investigation, so every investigation would be accurate.
But that guy, King Ji, was worried about hitting his head even if a leaf fell from his head. He has always been very cautious and has a good reputation in the fiefdom. After returning to the capital, I couldn't go out or step outside the door all day long. Except for the occasional trip to Prince Shen's Mansion to have a drink with Lao Ba, he hardly interacted with anyone. It can be said that she is simply more honest than a noble lady.
Wouldn't it be unreasonable for me, my ninth younger brother, to discipline such an honest person? He was a well-known honest person in the Tian family, and he was also one of the few among the vassal clan. At least his reputation among the people was acceptable. No matter what King Yong thinks, he can't understand why his ninth brother, even an honest man like King Ji, has to deal with him. This is really unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.
If not, then why did he send himself to Shandong and Hebei? There were several clans there, but including my cousin, although he was a bit greedy, he probably didn't do anything too extreme. If you go to the second road, even if you want to check the clan, why do you need to send a prince of your own? King Yong, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was puzzled.
