Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 102 The old love is hard to come back (1)
Since New Year's Eve, Gao Chen has never been to the main courtyard, and Xianhui has never looked for him, so the husband and wife just live their own lives, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.Therefore, when Xianhui came to the study today, Chu Qi and the others were surprised, but they didn't dare to delay, so they hurried in to report.

Xianhui stood in front of a clump of verdant bamboos, her mind wandering.

The last time I came here by myself, I happened to bump into Gao Chen and Ning Yuyao making out, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard enough of it, those soft words and coquettishness are still vivid in my ears.At this moment, I have to take a deep breath to calm my mind, which is why I usually don't look for Gao Chen.

Only by seeing her can she become a more standard Princess Jing.

"My lord, my lord let you in." Chu Qi came to report.

Xianhui sneered, at least Gao Chen saved himself some face in front of others, and didn't turn himself away.She carried her skirt up the steps, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard a slight movement in the back room, and she couldn't help but feel a little troubled.At any rate, he still remembered that he had a serious business, so he forced himself to calm down and said, "Just now I heard Nanny Li talk about the Dali Temple. It is said that the case of the blessing lamp is all behind the crown prince's envoy. The prince must know."

"I know." Gao Chen's voice was calmer than hers, and he said lightly: "You don't have to worry about it."

Xianhui frowned, "Don't you know why the emperor wants to hear this case publicly? I'm worried..."

"I said, you don't have to worry about it." Gao Chen interrupted her, still cold, still rude, as if the sudden gentleness on the night of New Year's Eve was just Xianhui's illusion, "You just want to be your princess honestly." , follow the rules and make no mistakes.”

What kind of attitude is this?Xianhui sneered inwardly, did she not want to let herself take care of it?Or is it because I interrupted his good deed, so I am upset, and I am impatient to drive myself away?Probably the latter.

Outside the door, a girl came in a hurry, "My lord, there is a message from the palace."

Xianhui turned around and left.

"Remember." Gao Chen urged behind her: "It's none of your business to hang on to yourself. When you enter the palace, don't bring up the matter before the princess. I have my own opinion, so hurry up."

Xianhui hooked the corners of her mouth and left without looking back.

After a while, Ning Yuxi came out from inside, "My lord, why bother? You have to let the princess misunderstand you and hate you, hey, even I feel bad for the lord." The lord, he planned for the princess wholeheartedly, but he could only do a villain.

If that major event is achieved, there may be a chance to explain it.

If it doesn't work, the princess is sad and afraid that she will really leave with that Lu Jian.

"What are you thinking?" Gao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Oh." Ning Yuxi quickly withdrew her thoughts, fearing that he would see through her thoughts, and changed the subject: "My lord, at first I thought that the matter of filial piety and the princess was just for the lord to settle personal grievances for the princess. I didn't expect that there was such a thing hidden behind It's a big move, but the subordinates are short-sighted."

Gao Chen shook his head, "In the beginning, I was not sure that the move by the princess' side would be successful. If it didn't work out, the matter would stop at Xiaohe's death." After a pause, "Now that the matter is done, it is of course better."

Ning Yuxi smiled and said: "Yes, there will be a big show to be sung soon."

Now all the spearheads are pointing at the princess, the evidence is conclusive!Not only did the suspicion of Prince Jing's mansion be cleared, but it also turned the matter into the Crown Prince's mansion murdering Princess Xiaohe with the intention of harming Prince Jing's mansion.

The emperor was suspicious of Prince Jing's mansion earlier, but without evidence, he thought it was the work of Prince Jing's mansion, and hurriedly withdrew the military power from the prince.But at this moment, does the emperor feel guilty?Still ashamed?I'm afraid it's both.

At this moment, Emperor Qing's mood was extremely complicated.

Not only did I suspect the wrong person, but I also forced the fourth brother to hand over his military power because of a guilty conscience, and then let the Dali Temple open the trial. Originally, he planned to take it down in one go—get rid of Shao Xianhui, and then let the fourth child leave Beijing immediately to take up the feudal domain .The results of it?In the end, things turned out to be a big oolong.

It turned out that the Crown Princess was behind the scenes. She not only harmed Xiaohe, but also deliberately led the criminal evidence to Prince Jing's residence.

No... Thinking about it this way, is the prince also involved?The boss is a mediocre person, and he is worried about his younger brother who is young and powerful, right?Is it the same as myself, wanting the fourth child to leave the capital as soon as possible, so that he can feel relieved?Thinking of this, my heart is really mixed.

At this moment, Emperor Qing hated the Crown Princess so much that he hated it to the bone!Not only because of Xiaohe's death, but also because of the stupidity and viciousness of the princess, he and the prince were pushed into a troublesome situation.I made a wrong decision, and the prince will also be implicated because of the princess.

Because of the current situation, the Crown Princess would have no chance to die from "illness", so she could only be deposed and executed!The crown princess has lost her morality, so is it not the crown prince who has lost her morality?Moreover, it is not clear that the prince is still caught in it. Even I suspect that the prince is involved, let alone those ministers who oppose the prince's succession.

At this moment, Emperor Qing was caught in a dilemma.

Originally suppressed because of Gao Chen's high performance, but the suppression was wrong.Originally supporting the relatively gentle prince, but he was a stupid one, who was also suspected of mutilating his siblings, and the person who was supporting him was wrong.

It was too late for Emperor Qing to win Gao Chen over now, and it was difficult for the Crown Prince.

It is equivalent to saying that offending one of the most powerful heirs to the throne and fostering the most ineffective prince, how can this make the court peaceful?A little carelessness, I'm afraid it will be another bloody struggle.

In Fengyi Palace, Empress Zhou had just summoned Xianhui and was talking alone, "A few days ago, rumors and rumors in the capital were flying around, and you must have been wronged." Pushed a box over, "This is the palace Reward some of your medicinal materials, take them back and stew some nourishing soup to drink, nourish your body, and let go of your heart."

Xianhui smiled, "With mother caring, my daughter-in-law is naturally happy."

Empress Zhou shook her head, "You are clever, but sometimes you are too arrogant and arrogant to let go of your figure." Speaking of Ning Yuyao, she inevitably said, "In terms of appearance, she is not as good as you; in terms of family background, the concubine of this dynasty They have no family background, the Shao family still has a rich man, but the Ning family has nothing; in terms of love, you and the fourth child are the original couple who married when they were teenagers, and she is not as good as you."

Xianhui lowered her eyes and did not answer.

Empress Zhou continued: "She is not as good as you in everything. According to me, there is only one thing that is better than you, that is, she is gentle and petty. You are the one who suffers." She poked the little daughter-in-law's forehead, "Why don't you learn? And win the heart of the fourth child back? I heard that Ning Yuyao has been pampering the palace since she entered the palace. You have... kept the vacant room for several months."

"Where the prince likes to go, how can I manage it?" Xianhui smiled wryly.

"You don't know how to say a few soft words?" Empress Zhou hated that iron can't be made into steel. She is in the position of a concubine, so she naturally doesn't want to see a concubine. What's more, she doesn't want the eldest son of Prince Jing's mansion to be born first. , that would only make things more chaotic.So I kept telling Xianhui: "If the fourth child doesn't take the initiative to find you, you will take the initiative to find him. As the saying goes, men chase women across mountains, and women chase men through layers of gauze. As long as you take the initiative, how can the fourth child not care about you?" Woolen cloth."

"Yes." Xianhui didn't want to talk about this matter, and couldn't refute it, so she could only respond: "I wrote it down." She also promised, "After I go back, I will talk to the prince more and do more for him. Order something delicious so that he can see my beauty in his eyes."

"That's right." Empress Zhou smiled, then took a sip of tea, and said, "What to say, the emperor is a little anxious to let the fourth brother hand over military power." The tone was very euphemistic, "But this is also The courtiers made a fuss, and the emperor's head hurts because of the paperwork all day long, and the emperor thought that he would have to hand it in sooner or later, so it would be better to hand it in early to save worry."

Xianhui was startled when he heard this.

The latter are the key points that the queen wants to talk about today, right?It turned out to be an intercession for the emperor.

Queen Zhou said again: "Nowadays, it is clear that what happened with Xiaohe is the work of the Crown Princess. This incident will inevitably affect the Crown Prince, that..." forced a smile, "Anyway, the boss and The fourth child is a compatriot from the same mother, and they are brothers and sisters. When the eldest brother is ineffective, the fourth child should also support him a little bit."

Xian Hui understood.

The mother-in-law wants to be a lobbyist herself, to persuade Gao Chen not to make trouble for Gao Dun.

Ha ha, I'm afraid this will disappoint my mother-in-law.

Leaving aside the fact that the relationship between himself and Gao Chen has broken down like ice, let's talk about Gao Chen's own thoughts, I'm afraid... he is unwilling to let Gao Dun continue to be the prince, so how can he persuade him?Besides, if Gao Chen can't be crown prince or emperor, based on the current situation, he probably won't have a good life in the future.

He is not well, can I still get one?How can I persuade myself?Totally impossible.

"Don't worry." Empress Zhou said again: "I have already discussed with the emperor. It is not suitable for the old four to go back to Jiang and make the courtiers dissatisfied, but he will not be allowed to go to remote places. At that time, he will be given He chooses a rich fief, and the annual tax is paid by the fourth child, you two are free and free, and no one cares about you, it is more comfortable than in the capital."

Xian Hui couldn't help laughing.

Granny, this is the Zhangba lampstand that only shines on others, not on yourself.In her eyes, the palm of the hand and the back of the hand are full of flesh, and her husband and son are both important, so she wants to balance the relationship wholeheartedly.But she didn't know, or she didn't want to think so cruelly, the Tian family had no father-son relationship, nor brotherhood!
If Gao Chen was as cowardly and ineffective as Gao Dun, maybe the emperor and the prince could tolerate it and give him glory and wealth.It's a pity that Gao Chen is not, he is just a sharp sword that everyone fears and taboos, and he doesn't feel at ease anywhere.The emperor must have just coaxed the queen with words, and when he became a vassal, Gao Chen would probably go to a place where nothing shit happened, and the military power in his hands would be completely taken away, and then he would be monitored and guarded.

——It is impossible to have a comfortable life at all.

It's just that it's inconvenient to say these words, so I responded perfunctorily: "Okay, I will persuade the prince more when I go back."

In my heart, I couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

What is Gao Chen planning?Just handing over the military power like this, and then waiting to go to a remote place to become a vassal, and finally end up with this remaining life?Even in the days to come, I have to live in fear, and I have to be a man with my tail between my legs for the rest of my life.

This... doesn't seem like his temper.

But other than that, there is no other choice, you can't start a rebellion, right?Besides, if you want to rebel, you should have rebelled earlier. Now that the military power has been handed over, what kind of rebellion is there?Speaking of it, rather than being jealous with Ning Yuyao, Gao Chen's indifference towards him, the future of Prince Jing's mansion should be more concerned.

It's a pity that he has no control over these things, and Gao Chen doesn't discuss with himself, and goes further and further away.

The road ahead is boundless, and I don't know where I will eventually go?Let it be fate.

"Report to the Empress, the Crown Princess is asking to see you outside the hall."

Empress Zhou's complexion suddenly sank, and she scolded: "Let her get out!"

Xian Hui withdrew her thoughts, and was surprised, how could the Crown Princess run into the palace?At this time, even if the people from Dali Temple didn't grab her, they should look closely.

"Crown princess, do you know your mistake?!" Queen Zhou asked coldly.

"Concubine, concubine... I know I'm wrong." The crown princess trembled and her face turned pale. Qing knew that after the case of Xiaoxiao and the princess was revealed, she would die. "I beg your empress to forgive me." Turning to see Xianhui, she hurriedly begged again, "Xianhui, please forgive me."

Xianhui said lightly: "What does your murder of Xiaohe have to do with me?"

The princess was at a loss for words.

The regret in my heart is overwhelming, why was I so obsessed with ghosts at the beginning, and believed in that woman's words?What did she say, as long as Princess Xiao and Princess have an accident during the Lantern Festival, they can pour a large basin of sewage on Prince Jing without anyone noticing it!When Concubine Jing is convicted and dies, not only will she not only have serious worries, but Prince Jing Gao Chen will also be implicated and will leave the capital soon.

As long as Gao Chen is a fan, the grievances and resentments between him and Xian Hui will be gone.

At that time, the prince will be a confused person, pretending to be pitiful, and asking his two daughters to intercede, even if he can't directly avoid his previous mistakes, he can delay it for a few years.After all, if the plan goes well, Xian Hui is already dead and a sinner, so what if he framed her in the past?It's all in the past.

Everything is going well.

As soon as Princess Xiaohe died, the emperor and concubine Wan really suspected that they had come to Prince Jing's mansion, forcing the younger uncle to hand over his military power. The emperor also asked Dali Temple to hear the case publicly, and Xianhui was about to be eliminated soon.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it failed!
How... how did you find the corpse of the bamboo frame seller?How could it be related to yourself?The Crown Princess was really unwilling, she knelt on the ground and cried: "Mother, all of this was instigated by that mother-in-law. The concubine just believed in her wrongly for a while, so..."

"Bang!" Empress Zhou threw a teacup over and scolded fiercely: "At this time, the evidence is solid, and you still want to rely on a servant? Why did you say that the mother-in-law instigated it, even if she really instigated it?" , Don’t you have a brain? You poisonous woman, you actually plotted to kill Xiaohe! You are simply inhuman!”

The mother-in-law was actually angry because of Xiaohe's death?Xianhui sounds weird.

"No, no, no!" The Crown Princess panicked and shook her head to argue, "I, I just want to scare Xiaohe's carriage, just... just want the emperor to suspect Prince Jing's mansion..." She was so frightened that she was incoherent, and her descriptions became darker and darker. "I...I didn't intend to kill Xiaohe, I didn't..."

After hearing the words of the Crown Princess, Empress Zhou became even more furious, "How dare you deliberately frame the fourth child?!" This time she was really angry, and ordered: "Call the people from the Punishment Department to come over!"

Only then did Xianhui understand a little bit.

Today, the mother-in-law deliberately punished the princess in front of her, and gave herself a bad breath.So that I can go back as I wish, and then tell Gao Chen, and by the way, persuade Gao Chen not to make trouble for Gao Dun.

So he kept his composure and was happy to watch the show.

Soon, the Department of Punishment came over.

Empress Zhou is a person who is used to fighting in the harem, and she can move to the harem with ease.Therefore, even if you want to punish the Crown Princess, you will not use lynching yourself, but call the Department of Punishment to come over and "let the Crown Princess tell the truth."

This truth begins with the twenty court staff.

"Crack!" A court stick fell hard.

The Crown Princess screamed, "Ah...!", and then came the second and third... one battle after another, and there was no break for the entire twenty court sticks.The crown princess screamed like ghosts and wolves, and she couldn't even utter the words of begging for mercy and confessing.In the end, there is only qi in and no qi out.

"You poisonous woman!" Empress Zhou scolded viciously: "I have framed Xianhui with that Shao Tongyun several times, but I have forgiven you again and again for the sake of giving birth to two daughters for the prince. You actually got worse. You actually used a conspiracy to poison Xiaohe to plot against Lao Si and Xianhui! You really deserve death..."

"Where is the Crown Princess? Where is it?!" Outside the palace gate, Concubine Wan rushed over after hearing the news, her eyes seemed to be breathing fire, she stepped forward and grabbed the Crown Princess's hair, gnashing her teeth: "It's you! It's you, If you say in front of me that the New Year's Eve is thirty, the emperor will definitely be willing to have a family reunion, let me mention a few words, so that Xiaohe can go back to the princess mansion for a reunion year."

As he spoke, tears rolled down his face, "I thought you wanted to keep Xiaohe at most, and deliberately pierced Xianhui's eyes, but I didn't expect you to let Xiaohe go to die!"

The back half of the princess's body was stained red with blood, and she could only breathe a sigh of relief. She said with difficulty, "No...it's not me, these schemes...are all the idea of ​​that woman, not me..."

She didn't know that there was an inexplicable guard in the middle, who slashed and wounded the people, causing Xiaohe Princess to be trampled to death!And this muddle-headed account naturally fell on her head, and even the prince was suspected.
