Now that the matter has come to this, the queen can only silence others first.
She asked someone to take 30,000 taels of silver notes and send them to Prince Gongxi's Mansion, but she knew that this was just the beginning.
If she doesn't deal with this matter, she will always be threatened by Chu Mo.
And the Duke’s wife also needs her to plan and think...
"Go and investigate the Gui family's affairs carefully."
The queen coldly ordered that the Gui family was Chu Mo's uncle's family. If the Gui family's big mistake could be caught, Chu Mo would not dare to act rashly again.
"Another one, arrange for two dead men to go to the East Palace. When the prince relaxes his vigilance, he will kill that little bitch."
"Yes!" Nanny Yin paused and said, "Then how will Xie Yuanshi deal with it?"
The queen pointed her finger: "Before executing that little bitch, lock her up first."
The people below took orders to do it.
Xie Ping moved out of the wing where she originally lived and lived with the prince. However, the prince had to go to court to attend to matters, so she always had to be alone.
When she met everyone, she felt like she was surrounded by the Queen's people, and everyone seemed to want to kill her.
She knew that the prince's protection was only temporary, and she would die at the hands of the queen sooner or later.
What to do, what can she do...
When she was feeling uneasy, she saw that the prince had finally gone to court, and she quickly went to greet him: "His Royal Highness is finally back..."
The prince touched her hair, sighed and said: "Today in court, the second son accused me of treating the palace servants harshly in front of my father. I have always been generous to my servants, so I defended myself. That bitch, the second son, actually mentioned the Xie family. Shit, hey, I can only hold my nose and admit my mistake."
Xie Ping burst into tears: "It is all because of me that I have caused trouble to Your Highness. The Queen is right. I should not be alive. Let me go."
The prince hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with you. It's the second brother who is too cunning. Next, I plan to go to the third brother and join forces with the third brother to give the second brother a blow. You just stay in the East Palace and don't leave the main hall. , Don’t worry, the Queen Mother will not take action in the main hall.”
Originally, he didn't need to worry about these things, since his mother would take care of them later.
However, he was so devoted to protecting Linglong that he annoyed his mother, who refused to see him for several days, so he had to deal with the matter himself.
Xie Ping pointed her finger: "Your Highness, can you take me with you to Prince Pingxi's Mansion?"
The prince frowned: "What are you going to do?"
"Princess Pingxi is my former legitimate mother." Xie Ping said, "With my concubine as my mediator, Your Highness and King Pingxi should be able to work together better."
Only then did the prince think of this relationship.
He nodded: "Okay, then let's go together."
In the suburbs two hours' drive from the capital, there is a beautiful Zhuangzi, which is an industry under Chu Yi's name.
It's summer, the vegetation is lush, the flowers are in full bloom, and the birds are flying around. Being among them makes your spirit greatly relaxed.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi brought the children here for two or three days. Chu Yi's injuries recovered quickly. At least walking and sitting were no longer a problem.
"Mom, come and look, there are a lot of ants here." Chu Hongyu led Yun Chu and squatted down in the grass, "What are they going to do?"
Densely packed ants crawled in one direction, looking like a black line from a distance.
Yunchu said with a smile: "This is probably the ants moving. It may rain later, so that's why the ants behave like this."
Chu Changsheng looked up at the big sun in the sky: "It's not raining, ants are so stupid."
"The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker. It is indeed going to rain." Chu Yi said standing on the side.
The two little guys didn't believe that things were about to change, so they started to argue with Chu Yi.
"If it doesn't rain, then my father will grant you a request." Chu Yi said, "If it rains, you two will each write a poem about rain. How about it?"
Chu Hongyu's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, it's a deal!"
His father drove him to sleep alone next to him every day. He had been unhappy for a long time and would make this request later.
The family was just making an appointment when they saw the clouds slowly blocking the sun, the sky suddenly became overcast, and the corners of the little guy's mouth drooped.
At this time, the servants from outside came to report: "The prince, the princess, and the prince are here."
Chu Yi went to see the prince, while Yun Chu took the two children and continued to observe the ants.
"Third brother." The prince patted Chu Yi on the shoulder with a smile on his face, "I feel relieved to see that you are okay."
Chu Yi asked someone to serve tea and said calmly: "The prince's eldest brother came so far away. He must have something important to do, right?"
He is two hours away from the capital, and for most of the day, he will never make a special trip if he has nothing to do.
"I know that Concubine Fang's miscarriage has nothing to do with your princess." The prince's eyes revealed a sharp light, "I have thought about it and it seems that it was the second child who did it. He used this matter to drive a wedge between you and me. You can reap the benefits by yourself."
Chu Yi took a sip of tea.
As expected, the prince is still so innocent. After so many days, he doesn't even know that this matter is actually related to the Duke's wife.
"He wants to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but we can't do what he wants." The prince said every word, "Third brother, why don't we two join forces?"
Chu Yi shook his head: "After staying away from the imperial court in the capital, I feel that the life of Xian Yun Yehe is quite good. I will not get involved in the affairs of the imperial court."
The prince was a little anxious: "Do you think the second brother will let you go if you stay out of it?"
"Eldest brother, there is no need to say more." Chu Yi said calmly, "I will take my wife and children south soon. From now on, these things have nothing to do with me."
While the two of them were talking, Xie Ping, dressed as a servant, walked slowly behind Zhuangzi. She was brought by the prince, and no one stopped her from walking around.
She saw Yun Chu and his two children playing in the grass from a distance. She tried to go over, but was stopped by a servant.
She took out a letter that she had prepared a long time ago from her sleeve and said to the old woman: "Please send it to Princess Pingxi."
The mother-in-law was ordered to send it off.
When Yun Chu saw the letter, he immediately looked up and saw Xie Ping standing outside the entrance to the backyard dressed in men's clothing.
She somewhat admired Xie Ping for being able to escape from the queen's clutches and come here.
Yun Chu handed the two children to Aunt Zheng, and then asked someone to lead Xie Ping to the living room.
After entering the house, there were still servants waiting for her. Xie Ping knelt down in front of Yun Chu and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, help!"
There is a knife hanging above her head, and she will die at any time. The prince does not know how long he can protect her, and she can only find a way to survive.
However, she really didn't know if there was a way out of this dead end.
She could only come to beg her mother.
In her mind, her mother is smart and calm, and can handle everything neatly. She believes that her mother will not watch her die like this.
"The Queen wants to kill me!" Xie Ping's voice was trembling, "The Crown Prince loves me now and is willing to protect me, but the man's love will disappear at any time. I dare not bet... The only person I can turn to now is my mother. Mother Just take pity on me, please, help me... point me to a clear path! I will definitely repay my mother for her kindness in the future, please mother!"
