Zhao Li didn't say anything, while Zhao Ruolan had a sad look on her face: "Since you already believe her, what's the difference if you ask me whether I admit it or deny it?"
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Zhilan: "You just said that you would hand over the evidence to the third prince. Okay, you go now. I will wait here to see what kind of evidence you call the evidence. Wait. Let’s see if the Third Prince believes in you or me.”
The atmosphere in the room was stagnant, Zhao Li was confused and unwilling, Zhao Ruolan was determined and sad, Zhao Zhilan raised her eyebrows, looked at this and that, and suddenly burst into laughter: "You are sure that I can't help it, right? Even if it is So what if the evidence is in the hands of the third prince? You are a husband and wife, both prosperous and destructive. Do you think he will deal with you in front of our Zhao and Gu families, or will he scold me for talking nonsense in front of everyone? Eight ways?"
Of course it is the latter. The third prince and Zhao Ruolan have been married for less than a year. If someone wants to describe Zhao Ruolan as a scheming and cruel woman who even plotted against her own sister for the sake of marriage, then the third prince who married Zhao Ruolan will also what is it then?
Just now Zhao Zhilan also said that everything Zhao Ruolan did was to marry the third prince. If word spread about it, would others think that the third prince and Zhao Ruolan had an affair? Because the third prince is a descendant of the royal family, his reputation must not be damaged, so Zhao Ruolan tried every means to frame his sister so that she could stand on the side of the victim and make people sympathize with her?
Zhao Ruolan sneered: "You were the one who said I would give it to you, and you were the one who said I wouldn't give it to you. How did I ever have a chance to speak? It's you both front and back, the black one is you, the white one is you, even if I have a mouth. , how can I defend myself?"
She looked at Zhao Li again: "In the final analysis, it's just a matter of loving more or loving less, right?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, calling Shi Yun to invite the third prince: "Just say that I am not feeling well and I have to go back now. If the third prince wants to drink some more, don't worry about me. I will send the carriage to you later." Just come and pick him up.”
If the third prince leaves without lunch, then others will inevitably think that the third prince is not showing respect to the Zhao family.
Furthermore, the third prince himself had the help of Marquis Yongyi. He would not do such a thing to slap his father-in-law in the face. Zhao Ruolando's words were just to make things easier for him.
Shi Yun hurriedly went to deliver the message. She waited outside for a while before she got the message. Marquis Yongyi was still a little surprised: "What orders does the third prince's concubine have?"
Shi Yun was a second-class maid when she was in the Zhao family. Following Zhao Ruolan's movements, Yongyi Hou naturally recognized her.
"The Third Princess suddenly has a headache and feels uncomfortable." Shi Yun said hurriedly. Even though she was very curious about General Gu's appearance, she did not dare to raise her head at all. She now knew very well the strict hierarchy of this feudal society. A sneak peek might It will cause serious problems.
If she falls in the eyes of the third prince, he will inevitably think that she is unstable and unable to do things. If he learns about today's incident, he will probably think that Zhao Ruolan has something on his mind. After all, Shi Yun is Zhao Ruolan's maid, and she represents Zhao Ruolan. .
"Your Highness, please rest assured. The third prince's concubine has been suffering from headaches for a long time. Just go back and lie down and it will be fine. The third prince's concubine said that you can just stay and have a meal. She will go back first and will send a carriage to pick you up later." After Shi Yun finished speaking, she bowed politely and left.
Regardless of whether it is an old problem or not, when the conversation came to this point, Marquis Yongyi naturally had to speak: "Your Highness, you and General Gu will have tea first, and I will go take a look. In the past, this child did have headaches. , Smelling salts are always prepared at home. She must have been married for a long time and forgot about them, so I asked her mother to look for them."
Marquis Yongyi came over quickly and said with a stern expression: "So what? If you want to leave, your parents' reputation will be thrown to the ground and trampled on by you today."
Before Zhao Ruolan could say anything, Zhao Li pulled Marquis Yongyi and told the story exactly. Marquis Yongyi's expression changed. He looked at Mrs. Zhao Li, pondered for a moment and said: "Your mother is not an outsider, so there is no need to avoid it. Since we are talking about this matter today, you will be honest with me." Tell me, what are your plans?"
Before Zhao Ruolan could express his position, Marquis Yongyi continued: "Don't think that I am as easy to fool as your sister, just think about your future. After thinking about it, you have no contact with the third prince, but if you like the third prince, There is only one thing for a prince, and that is his identity as a prince."
"Or, in other words, you don't know that your sister will be accused of marrying the third prince, but you know that her marriage is better. The person she marries is more powerful than General Gu? Or will he live longer?" General Gu? After all, he is a man of war. For this kind of person, when he is good, he is very good. However, if there is something wrong on the battlefield, then nothing is good.
When a person dies, his posthumous reputation, power and money are all gone.
"The third prince is now very weak. There is only one prince's palace, and he wants to..." Marquis Yongyi looked at Zhao Ruolan with some threats: "If you don't say anything, you don't have to come back in the future. Your mother and I, Just pretend that I never gave birth to a daughter like you."
The implication is very clear. If the third prince needs help in the future, don't ask them.
Zhao Ruolan pursed her lips. She knew that what Marquis Yong Yi said never failed.
The third prince could not use Gu Zheng, because Gu Zheng would eventually die in five years. But the third prince must use Marquis Yongyi. If the third prince wants to seize the direct heir, he must have power in the army. Although Marquis Yongyi plans to transfer the Zhao family from military to civil affairs, at present, Marquis Yongyi is still a third-rank general, and he is still in the capital. The second in command of the military camp.
She can sever ties with Zhao Zhilan, but she cannot sever ties with the Zhao family. Therefore, she could only question Zhao Li instead of getting angry at Zhao Li, let alone acknowledge Zhao Li's accusations.
Yong Yihou stared at Zhao Ruolan, who started to turn a little pale.
"I can only tell dad." It took a long time for Shi Yun outside to hear these words. Marquis Yongyi looked at Zhao Zhilan and Zhao Li. Zhao Zhilan was unwilling to accept it: "I am also a victim after all. Why can't I know why I was framed?"
Zhao Li didn't speak, but she didn't move either.
Zhao Ruolan took a deep breath: "It has something to do with the life and death of the Zhao family."
Marquis Yongyi waved his hand: "You guys should go out first." The maids and women could no longer guard the door, but the servants and guards around Marquis Yongyi. Zhao Zhilan was pulled out by Zhao Li.
Only the father and daughter were left in the room, and Zhao Ruolan took a deep breath: "When I was thirteen years old, I suddenly started to have intermittent dreams. First, I dreamed that I was married to Gu Zheng, and that my second sister was accused of being married to the third prince. , and I dreamed that Gu Zheng was dead, with no body left. Because he missed the opportunity to fight, he would be held accountable for his death. The Gu family was like a big tree with broken roots, collapsing suddenly. Then, when the second sister gave birth to a child , because the third prince offended the empress, the imperial doctor was detained in Fengyi Palace. No one could make it in time, and the second sister was killed. For the death of the second sister, the father had to make it clear. Later, he was killed by the second sister. The prince found an excuse and stole the job..."
Yong Yihou frowned and looked at Zhao Ruolan. He couldn't tell whether it was true or false. However, you can roughly guess that five points are true and five points are false? Or, just seven points true and three points false? Anyway, it's definitely not all true.
"So, this is the reason why you want to snatch your sister's marriage, and then frame her?" Yong Yihou said, sneering: "If you had told me the dream from the beginning, then I could cancel you and Gu Zheng marriage, so that you won't be implicated in the Gu family's affairs. Your sister will definitely not marry the third prince and then kill two people."
He stared at Zhao Ruolan for a while and suddenly asked: "Will the third prince ascend the throne in the future?"
Zhao Ruolan was horrified and quickly raised her head to look at Marquis Yongyi. Marquis Yongyi continued: "If it weren't for the incredible wealth and honor, why would you still be willing to risk marrying the third prince if you knew that your sister would die in childbirth and two others? There is only one reason. That is, the future of the third prince is immeasurable, and the benefits this matter brings to you are greater than the risks you need to take. You said that this matter would involve the life and death of the Zhao family, but you never reminded me, which means that it is very possible. In my previous life, I also turned against the third prince and had the merit of following the dragon. So in the end, our Zhao family will not only not be eliminated by the second prince, but we will also become rich and powerful with the third prince? In this whole matter, the only thing you need to deal with is, Just your sister, because you need her marriage, right?”
Zhao Ruolan quickly shook her head: "It's not like that, it's not..."
Yong Yihou seemed to have been drained of energy for a moment, and his back slumped. He waved his hands a little tiredly: "Yes or no, you know it clearly in your heart. I just don't understand how I can take you." Has he been taught like this?"
"For the sake of profit, you can actually attack your own sisters." Yong Yihou's face was full of disappointment, and his eyes looking at Zhao Ruolan also showed unspeakable regret: "Even if you marry her to someone else, it is better than your scheming. Is it better to marry her and let her live the miserable life in your dream?"
She clearly knew what would happen if she married Gu Zheng, so why did she still have to plot against her sister?
She didn't want to change her destiny at all, she just wanted to take away Zhao Zhilan's life, luck and wealth. For that slim possibility, she was really ruthless. Especially at that time, she was only thirteen years old, had not yet had haircuts, and was still a child.
Marquis Yongyi finally asked: "But your sister, what has she ever done to regret you?"
Zhao Ruolan's body stiffened, and she shook her head after a while, no, not in the previous life, and not in this life either. She was just jealous and didn't understand why her brainless sister was so loved and valued by the third prince.
