Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 104

King Qing suddenly slapped the table, and sparks rose from the bottom of his eyes: “Wang Hao, you can hear the voice of the people who want to murder you to defend you! People’s hearts are always fleshy, why your heart is so, so vicious How can you murder a woman with such a kind heart? I really want to split your heart and see if it is red or black!”

Princess Qing looked at King Qing with cold eyes: “The prince is right. My heart is indeed black, but it is not black enough. Otherwise, someone would have sent someone to kill this bitch. How could she tolerate her talking nonsense here? What I regret most is that she was just a small concubine back then. I should have dealt with this scourge while she was still fledgling, and saved the trouble of raising tigers and hurting others and myself!”

“Don’t stop talking, you really don’t have the slightest tolerance for others, it’s just bullying!”

King Qing said with anger, but Concubine Qing’s face gradually mourned. Over the years, she gave King Qing countless opportunities, one after another she placed hope in him, even if he could trust himself once, she did not live up to this. Many years of husband and wife love, but what about him? He only had Mrs. Shun in his heart, and she accepted everything no matter what the other party said. There is only one explanation, because he loves Madam Shun deeply, and the others are nothing in his eyes.

Madam Shun wiped her tears again and again with a grieved expression on her face: “Wang Hao, if you know that you hate me this way, I will be clean if I die. Seeing you and the prince arguing over me like this, my heart really hurts– ”

Jiang Xiaolou had watched enough of the scene, opened his lips slightly, and said softly: “Mrs. Shun, I’m afraid you have misunderstood.”

Concubine Shun was slightly stunned and at a loss for a while: “Misunderstanding, what’s the misunderstanding?”

Jiang Xiaolou stared at her, soft as spring water: “This food box was not sent to you by the princess.”

Madam Shun’s sad expression on her face suddenly weakened, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom: “What does this mean?”

Jiang Xiaolou’s tone was very flat, without half ups and downs: “The food box was sent to the princess by the old princess Qingtong girl. In order to convey the kindness to you, the princess ordered someone to send the food box. Chaoyun did not make it clear. Huh?”

Concubine Shun couldn’t help suffocating her heart, and her face suddenly became a little pale. She turned her head and stared at King Qing with a pair of water eyes, revealing a look of disbelief. King Qing was stunned at first, and then a sneer gradually hung on the corner of his lips: “It is possible that you may be passive on the way.”

Jiang Xiaolou stretched his tone and smiled deeper and deeper: “My lord, you might as well think about it. An old princess did nothing but accidentally arise. Of course, the princess also followed kindness. When the two meet together by chance, where does the time come to prepare? Poison. Second, from the princess’s yard to the Xiangchu Pavilion, with only a few steps left and right, Chaoyun took the food box from the Qingtong girl and sent it here non-stop, and the maidservant and mother were in an endless stream along the way. Could she still be there? Can the poison be poisoned in front of everyone? The old princess has worked so hard to be said to be the murderer of the poison. The princess kindly resolves the resentment and is slandered as a poisonous woman. You love Madam Shun, but you can’t favor her like this.”

This food box was sent by the old princess, and even if it was really poisonous, Mrs. Shun had to accept it. Drinking it happily is called filial piety. Step back ten thousand steps and say that the princess hates her love rivals and wants to get rid of them quickly. What is the reason for the old princess to do this? It is clear that the princess really wants to poison her, and the time is too tight to start. Just now, King Qing had no time to think about it under his anger, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that this is wrong. Although the princess hates Mrs. Shun, she is a kind woman in her bones. If she is really cruel, what have she done in the past 20 years, why should we wait until today…

King Qing couldn’t help but glanced at Mrs. Shun, his eyes became inexplicably complicated.

Madam Shun was shocked by the look in her eyes, her fingers in her sleeves trembled faintly, and she said with great ease: “Master, I don’t know what’s going on…”

Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly, and there seemed to be a bright flash of fire in his eyes: “The old princess is kind, and it won’t hurt you. From the time point of view, the princess has no time to do it. But the food box has been delivered. For several hours… Maybe it was a snake with short eyes that came and took a bite by himself, leaving the venom on it, which made you poisoned. Lord, instead of asking the princess for trouble, it’s better to turn this yard over. It’s better to find that cruel snake!”

Mrs. Shun seemed to be drenched in a basin of ice water, her white teeth bit her lip, almost biting out a circle of blue white: “You… are you saying that I deliberately wronged the princess?” She said, she quickly threw herself down. At the feet of King Qing, tears burst into tears for a moment, “Master, I really don’t know about this. When Chaoyun sent the food box, I thought it was the princess’s kindness…Where I want someone to poison it. It’s hard to say. , People are unpredictable, I usually just treat it as a joke, who knows it is so! If I was poisoned to death today, the princess would become the first suspected object, it is my fate, but also with the princess The hatred is deeper, and you are also in the middle of the prince, it is difficult to make a choice… prince, this is someone deliberately instigating separation, framed me and the princess!”

Concubine Qing saw that Concubine Shun’s tears flowed more easily than spring water, and there was a faint chill in her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to speak, but Jiang Xiaolou pulled her sleeve and motioned her not to speak.

King Qing looked at Mrs. Shun, unable to speak for a while, but the expression in his eyes was extremely strange.

Madam Shun’s breathing was hurried, her eyelashes raised, and then she quietly lowered, her eyes full of tears: “Master, don’t you even think that everything was designed by me, because I deliberately wronged the princess? Why do I do this? Obviously it hurts others and disadvantages oneself…”

“Mrs. Shun should get up quickly. You are a poisoned person. It is better to go back to bed and lie down on the bed. Don’t attack your heart with poison. On the contrary, the gain is not worth the loss.” Jiang Xiaolou reminded with a smile.

King Qing had a sudden stop. Although he loved Concubine Shun, he was not a fool. If today proves that the princess intentionally framed her, and Mrs. Shun was purely innocent, and she relented, her restraint would be automatically lifted. Princess Qing is a concubine. Of course, she can’t be arrogant if she wants to kill a wife or concubine, but since then, the relationship between husband and wife has become worse and irreparable, which is greatly beneficial to Mrs. Shun. One innocent victim can erase the traces of mistakes and complete the perfect transformation from a sinner accused by everyone to a poor victim…

Mrs. Shun has never seen such an expression in King Qing’s eyes. The other person is always caring and kind, and her eyes are always full of compassion. Jiang Xiaolou is indeed a person who is very good at mediating and distracting, just a few words floating in the ears of King Qing, unknowingly invading his heart, killing people without seeing blood.

King Qing couldn’t help closing her eyes. Yes, the princess was born noble and was a concubine. If she really wanted to kill Mrs. Shun, she had already started it twenty years ago. Why bother until now that Mrs. Shun is full of children and full of wings? It doesn’t make sense anyway… It’s a married couple, what he said just now was too hurtful. King Qing opened his eyes and looked at the princess, with a faint apology in his eyes. When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Madam Shun standing tremblingly.

Her long eyelashes trembled, with endless sadness on her face, and she smiled reluctantly: “My lord, I have served you for so many years. I have always put your joy, anger, sorrow and joy first, and never dared to disobey the slightest bit. Today I am indeed innocent in this matter, and I don’t know who killed the poison. If the prince doesn’t believe me, please drive me out of the palace—” she said, staggering back a few steps. , The body became soft and the whole person fell backward. King Qing’s heart was shocked, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Shun.

Madam Shun’s body trembled violently, and she fell into his arms as if she was invincible.

Looking from Jiang Xiaolou’s perspective, he just saw the other party’s pink noodle pear blossom with rain, tears filled his eyes, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes. He was looking at King Qing infatually, but his original attitude was shaken. In that moment, Wang Shi changed his expression of pity and love, and forgot to apologize to the princess.

From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Shun’s body is soft and sad, and she plays a self-pity and self-pity beauty in a calm manner. She successfully surrounds King Qing in the water-splashing love net, and instantly turns around. A situation unfavorable to her. Such acting skills, it is no wonder that he has occupied King Qing for more than 20 years. If it weren’t for Princess Qing’s background and support, I’m afraid that there will be no bones left.

If it weren’t for their different positions, Jiang Xiaolou would really applaud Mrs. Shun’s superb acting skills. However, at the end of the play, there can be no more words, the following must be-

As soon as Mrs. Shun closed her eyes, she fainted. King Qing hurriedly shouted: “Please doctor, go and invite the doctor.”

The doctor didn’t go away, but rushed over. Qing Wang looked worried: “Let’s see what happened to Mrs. Shun?”

The doctor took the pulse, and sighed softly: “The poison is still unclear, and the emotions are so excited, of course, there will be trouble. You must take care of it, and don’t get angry, otherwise you will worry about your life.”

When King Qing heard this, he felt guilty and blamed himself. Yes, how could I doubt Madam Shun, she is such a gentle, beautiful and understanding woman. Over the years, the relationship between herself and the princess has been very bad. It was all her mediation. She also worried a lot in this family. How could she be suspicious because of Jiang Xiaolou’s few words? This is the person on the pillow that she loves. Even if she made a mistake, she was confused for a while, and she shouldn’t have driven her into a desperate situation!

King Qing stood up and turned his head to look at Princess Qing. The original guilt was gone, and he just said in a deep voice: “Okay, no one is allowed to talk about things today. If I know someone will spread the gossip. , Never be merciless!” After speaking, his eyes swept toward everyone in the hall, extremely deterrent.

Everyone bowed their heads and responded in unison: “Yes, Lord.”

Princess Qing couldn’t help sighing: “She just wronged me. She fainted when others pointed out the truth. She was really weak. If I were replaced, the prince would not care even if the blood was splashed on the spot.”

King Qing was said to be the central issue, and his face turned green. However, the more guilty he became, the more anxious he became, and his voice suddenly rose: “What do you want to do, do you have to watch Madam Shun die in front of you to be reconciled? It’s not like you didn’t see it. Someone must have troubled the matter. On the one hand, it provokes the relationship between the two of you, and on the other hand it seeks personal gain for herself–” He said, his gloomy eyes have swept towards Jiang Xiaolou, clearly. Meaningful. Isn’t it obvious that the more the princess hates Mrs. Shun, the more dependent she is on someone.

His eyes were as stern as an eagle and falcon, Jiang Xiaolou naturally understood the other party’s intentions, but smiled softly: “What the prince said is that this person is horribly sinful and sinful.”

King Qing snorted coldly: “Well, Mrs. Shun needs a rest, you all leave.”

Princess Qing stood still, her eyes cold: “Mrs. Shun is weak, and it’s better to take a rest recently.”

King Qing gritted his teeth: “No matter what, she is suspicious of this matter. I will naturally make a fair ruling. Don’t worry.”

Princess Qing smiled faintly: “So, thank you, Lord.”

Coming out of Xiangchu Pavilion, Princess Qing looked very tired. Jiang Xiaolou thoughtfully said: “Mother, are you okay?”

Princess Qing shook her head lightly, her heart was ashamed: “The facts are right in front of him, but he doesn’t believe it at all like a blind man. I really want to ask him, his wife lies inside, so I just Isn’t it nothing? When I was wronged, he would just clamor that I was a slut, and the other party only shed two tears, and he was very distressed. I really don’t know what evil I did in my previous life, this life To suffer this torture.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at the princess, only smiled lightly. Obviously knowing that the other party does not take you in his heart, he has let you down again and again, and you know everything in your heart, why are you willing to endure it for more than 20 years. As early as when Mrs. Shun was still a concubine, you could get rid of her. The result of a woman’s benevolence was to raise a tiger, and the result of tolerance was irreversible.

“Mother, if you can’t face this, you will never be able to defeat her.” Jiang Xiaolou looked at Princess Qing and suddenly said such a meaningful sentence.

Concubine Qing looked at Jiang Xiaolou, her heart moved slightly: “In fact, you had expected everything today?”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said, “Yes, I knew she would do this. Not only me, but even Mrs. Shun knew very well that what she did can’t actually shake the position of mother’s wife, but she still has no return. Did this seemingly stupid thing. Does mother know why?”

“Why?” Princess Qing was startled, her eyes widened suddenly.

“Think about it. What Mrs. Shun has done over the years has always only one purpose. That is separation. She will make the prince loath you and alienate you at all costs, and make your feelings irretrievable. She lost on the surface today, but in fact she won the pity and sympathy of the prince, and mother you won on the surface, but you have lost the respect and closeness of the prince. She once again used that abusive tone to prove that mother you are The failure.” Jiang Xiaolou’s words were silent, and his smile remained the same, but he stabbed Princess Qing relentlessly in the heart.

Princess Qing was stunned, her throat choked for a while, and she was silent.

Jiang Xiaolou looked at Princess Qing, his lips pressed tightly, and his clear eyes were complex. If a woman cannot see her situation clearly and waits for a man to change her mind all her life, then she will never be cruel. From the beginning to the end, Princess Qing looked forward and backward, gnawing her teeth at Madam Shun on the surface, but in reality she dared not go to death. The reason is that the princess still has nostalgia for King Qing. Although she does not admit it, in essence, she still hopes that one day this man can turn around and admit his mistake. As a woman, Jiang Xiaolou can understand the princess’s mentality. After all, her husband is a woman’s lifelong hope, not to mention that they are married couples. But as a bystander, Jiang Xiaolou was extremely disappointed with such a princess.

“Mother, not all mistakes can be forgiven, and not all people are forgivable. If King Qing is willing to look back, would it not be enough for him to reflect on it in twenty years? Do you think he will come back to you after seeing the true face of Mrs. Shun? By my side, no, the reason why I let you see this scene today is to tell you that even if he sees through and sees through, he still chooses to deceive himself. Because he just likes Madam Shun, even if this woman is bad and vicious, He will also try to find a reason for himself to believe in her. On the contrary, if you cannot be favored by the prince, no matter how gentle and kind, you are just a stranger in his heart. At the critical moment, he will choose to doubt first. you!”

The veil in Princess Qing’s hand fell to the ground unknowingly. The veil was originally embroidered with a double lotus, which was now stained with dust and turned into mud. Concubine Qing’s heart was shocked. Slowly, slowly, she looked at Jiang Xiaolou and said in a dumb voice, “Then I…what should I do?”

Jiang Xiaolou personally stooped to pick up the veil, patted the dust on his head, and returned it to Princess Qing, with a steady tone: “If the Princess wants to change his mind, I have a way, but if you want his heart to stop forever By your side, the gods can’t do it either.”

“I don’t want his heart, and I don’t want him to change his mind, never want it again.” Princess Qing took a deep breath, almost feeling that every breath caused pain in her chest, “I want Madam Shun to pay for Cher, I want them Pay the price for my pain over the years.”

Jiang Xiaolou gently held up the elbow of the princess, and helped princess Qing to walk back. If there were water waves in his eyes, shining light flowed: “Mother, it is not difficult to achieve your goal…”

A gust of wind blew gently, blurring Jiang Xiaolou’s voice. Princess Qing couldn’t help but stare at her with a smile, and couldn’t help but think that Cher was like a toddler who needed her own care and protection everywhere, but Xiaolou…

In the Ci’antang, the sun quietly shone into the panes, and the whole room appeared bright and covered with a faint golden light. Qing Tong installed the hookah and handed it to the old princess. She bit the pipe with her mouth and took a light breath. There was a faint gurgling sound from the pipe, and a long string of smoke rings came out of her mouth.

The old princess sighed softly: “Unexpectedly, there is still a heart-warming Xi Tzu in this house. He is used to it!”

The princess lowered her eyelids and smiled faintly, “If it weren’t for the food box that you sent, I’m afraid I can’t wash it when I jump into the Yellow River.”

The old princess glanced at her and snorted lightly.

The old princess is the person who values ​​dignity the most, and she absolutely disagrees with Qing Wang moving his wife when the princess did not commit a serious mistake. The old princess had already clearly seen Madam Shun’s plot, but she had always kept a wait-and-see attitude on the matter. From the long-term view of the palace, she naturally hoped that King Qing would have an excellent heir, but today’s prince couldn’t talk about it. This is the real reason why she has always tolerated Mrs. Shun. But now it seems that Mrs. Shun is so arrogant that she completely forgot her identity.

The old princess waved her hand and motioned to all the maids in the house to retreat, leaving Qingtong alone to wait. When her gaze swept to Jiang Xiaolou, her mouth seemed to open, but it still closed.

After a long time, she suddenly said: “I know, you have always blamed me for favoring Madam Shun.”

“No, my daughter-in-law dare not…” Princess Qing was stunned for a while, but it took a long time to find her own voice, “Mother is doing everything for the sake of the palace.”

“You don’t need to say more about these kind words!” The old princess smiled. “Everyone came from the time of my daughter-in-law. When I first married into the palace, I was also made things difficult by my mother-in-law, trying to please her, but still I was scolded. At that time, I felt that the old woman always disliked me, embarrassed me everywhere, she always reprimanded her, sometimes she could almost hate her, wishing she would die sooner.”

Princess Qing glanced at Jiang Xiaolou and didn’t know how to answer.

“It doesn’t matter whether you hate me or blame me, these are not important. Entering the palace and becoming my daughter-in-law, this is your fate, you must confess. Affection and love are false at all, and so are husbands’ pets. Now that you are a princess, you should take a good look at your position, what you should do and what you shouldn’t do, you must know in your heart! I didn’t teach you before, and I even reminded you not to let the prince leave you. The further you come, but what about you? I only think of my lost daughter and fool’s son. I always look like a grieving woman. I look so tired and crooked. In the end, I was taken advantage of and lived a good life like this! Don’t blame the heavens and others, this is also your life, it’s because you are incapable of playing a good game and it is terrible!”

Jiang Xiaolou listened intently, but curled his mouth slightly. Look at this cunning old lady. Her words were half-truths and half-truths. She clearly said that her husband’s petting was false, but she asked the princess to catch Qing’s heart. In fact, her basic line is: Everything is fake, and the power in your hand is really true. The so-called grabbing the heart of the husband, the fundamental purpose is to take for granted the power that should belong to him. Looking at it this way, the princess has turned the cart before the horse.

“Yes, it’s all the daughter-in-law’s fault.” Although Princess Qing was surprised that the old princess suddenly confided in her heart, she just bowed her head.

“I’m getting older, and I don’t want to worry about these things about you anymore, maybe one day you think of me, maybe you can taste something!” The old princess took a breath, thought about it slowly, and asked Qingtong. : “Send me another food box to Mrs. Shun.”

Qingtong was a little nervous: “What do you mean–”

The old princess did not change her face, and said slowly: “Did you say yesterday that the mansion made fragrant rice dumplings, tidy up those dumplings, and send them to her, and supervise her that you will come back after eating them all.

Qing Tong’s eyelids couldn’t help but jump, and the kitchen wrapped 40 or 50 small rice dumplings, each about half the size of a palm, if they were all finished, would it be necessary to survive? But seeing the old princess’s stern eyes looking at herself, Qing Tong quickly replied: “Yes.”

Qingtong went with the order.

Jiang Xiaolou looked at the old concubine, a little funny. Mrs. Shun’s move once again proved the prince’s heart, but she was disgusted by the old concubine for neglecting the source of the food box. This old lady’s temperament has always been like this, she can allow you to have your own careful thinking, but can’t allow you to slap her in the face. Let alone fifty, swallowing ten is enough for her to endure. If you don’t care when you are old, you are a fool if you really believe it.

“Mother is bothering, and daughter-in-law retire.”

Princess Qing took Jiang Xiaolou out, but let out a sigh of relief.

After another half an hour, Chaoyun quietly inquired about the news and reported it: “Wang Hao, Miss Qingtong is supervising the person eating rice dumplings. She eats them seven or eight. Her face is swollen, her tongue is big, and her stomach is so swollen that she can’t see The doctor looked tremblingly beside him, for fear of causing death. The girls advised not to eat, but she could stuff it down, vomiting and eating!”

Princess Qing was stunned for a while.

Jiang Xiaolou felt sorry for not being able to watch the joyous scene with his own eyes, and said leisurely, “The old princess is just a small punishment and a big admonition. If she eats, there is still a way to survive. If she doesn’t eat, I’m afraid the next time. It’s not eating rice dumplings, but arsenic.”

Chaoyun nodded repeatedly, with a full face of admiration: “The prince found out, and immediately rushed to intercede, so the old princess relaxed and said that if she had eaten ten, she would allow her to rest for a while and eat again tomorrow, but she must take all fifty. After eating. The servant girl looked at so many rice dumplings and had eaten it for half a month, for fear that it might have broken her belly.”

Princess Qing seldom laughed, and this smile was extremely cheerful: “Yes! People like her should live like this!”

Jiang Xiaolou said faintly: “The first thing the old princess did was to warn Mrs. Shun not to give birth to other thoughts, and the other was to show Wang Qing.”

“What do you say?” Princess Qing frowned slightly, a little puzzled for a while.

There was a fine fire in Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes, but his voice was unhurried: “The old princess has already said that he will be punished severely, but the prince ran to meet her and stay overnight, so the old princess is not happy, the old lady… …Always ask people to hold and coax, and it must not be offended.”

“Then what shall we do next?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked indifferent, and said lightly: “A salary is drawn from the bottom of the pot.” After she finished speaking, she said to Xiaodie, “Are everyone ready?”

“Yes, miss.”

Xiangchu Court

Helian smiled to come to see Mrs. Shun, but was stopped by the maid at the door. Helian smiled and squinted without a trace of irritation between his brows: “What does this mean?”

The handmaid looked at the other party’s face in Bai Shengsheng, and said nervously: “I’m sorry, the princess, the prince has an order, no one can easily enter during Madam Shun’s confinement.”

Helian laughed and stopped slightly, the smile on his lips slowly faded: “Anyone-including me?”

The voice was extremely shallow, but very majestic, and the maid did not dare to speak. Helianxiao was about to marry the third prince, and his position in the family was supernatural. Of course ordinary people did not dare to argue with her. After shaking the gods, Helian’s golden skirt flashed slightly, and people had entered the house.

The maid’s heart was shocked, she obviously stretched out her hand, but after all she did not dare to stop it.

Helian smiled when he came to the inner room and saw Madam Shun lying pale on the red sandalwood bed. Because of her lack of energy, she leaned halfway on the pillow, and the maid on the side was gently patting her back. The other person was waiting with a spittoon. She stroked her chest, retching constantly, and the whole room smelled of sour rot.

Helian smiled subconsciously and gently covered it with his sleeves, but then took two steps forward and said: “Mother, what’s wrong with you?”

Madam Shun suddenly raised her head when she heard the voice, she was shocked and suddenly anxious: “What are you doing here?”

Helian laughed not to answer, but whispered to the two maidservants: “How do you take care of the master, you take care of people like this!”

The two maids knelt to the ground quickly, not daring to lift their heads.

Madam Shun reluctantly suppressed the disgusting feeling of glutinous rice stirring in her heart, and said: “It’s just a sequelae from eating rice dumplings and it won’t interfere.”

“Mother, so are you, do you really eat if you let you eat it?” Helian smiled and his pupil tightened instantly, his face full of disbelief.

Madam Shun sighed softly, swung the two maids around her back, and then reluctantly leaned on the pillows, and whispered: “You know, that old lady wants face the most. This time, I accidentally got caught up in others. , Stepped on her face, she tried every means to make me follow the ugly again, suffer a little bit, will not really kill me. Although she has long been no matter what, she is afraid that the princess will be the only one, keeping me just right The princess fights in court, and the two of us fight each other. The harder we fight, the more respectful and flattering she will be. She is unbiased on the surface, hum…” At this point, she sneered, showing a very complicated expression.

Helian smiled and frowned, his face finally worried: “But eating so many zongzi will always hurt your body.”

Although Mrs. Shun’s face was pale, she was still in good spirits. She straightened the pillow and leaned on it diagonally. Seeing Helian’s smile was a very bright golden dress with light silk petals embroidered on it, and the embroidery work could be seen at a glance. The whole person looks extraordinarily luxurious, and the smile on his lips can’t help but gradually deepen: “It’s a matter of course, are your two brothers okay?”

Helian smiled faintly, and his tone calmed down: “My eldest brother only wrote yesterday to ask if my mother is in good health. As for my second brother, I have been busy with external affairs during this period of time. Ask me to bring my mother’s peace of mind. Sister-in-law and I I am just as worried. As for my second wife, she is heartless, and she has never been in the same boat with us.”

Mrs. Shun nodded unconsciously, her voice very solemn: “I thought that the daughter of Zuo’s bachelor’s degree could help your second elder brother more or less. Who would think it was just a jealous jar, but after receiving a little cold reception, she actually got into trouble with your second elder brother. Man, what counts as three wives and four concubines, she is really a stupid woman, stupid enough.” Having said this, she asked unconsciously, “What’s happening with the princess in the past two days?”

Helian’s smile disappeared, and he lowered his voice: “There is nothing strange about the princess. She has food, clothing, shelter and transportation as usual, but she is inseparable from that Jiang Xiaolou. Now Jiang Xiaolou is the princess’s military adviser, this girl is very ghostly, I will try After two or three times, I couldn’t find out the details of her, and the people who were sent out to investigate were in vain.”

Madam Shun was silent for a long time, and finally said gloomily: “I never thought that this girl would be so troublesome. I should have taken it away while she was still fledgling. It’s better than being afraid of the head and tail and can’t act rashly.”

Helian smiled, his eyes flashed, and his brows frowned slightly: “Do you want me…”

“No, don’t intervene. You will be married in three months. Then you will be the three princes and concubines upright. Even I will follow you. Then the prince will naturally let me out. More than that, he will definitely Take the opportunity to restore my position…”

This is indeed true. How could the biological mother of the third prince and concubine be just a lady next to the prince? King Yiqing’s love for her will surely take this opportunity to let her re-enter the position of side concubine.

Seeing that she was so sure, Helian smiled hesitantly: “I’m afraid the princess will get in the way, and I also heard…”

“What did you hear?”

Helian laughed and took a deep breath, but he didn’t say any further. Mrs. Shun noticed the abnormality and immediately ordered: “Smile, speak clearly.”

Helian Xiaodai’s eyebrows became tighter, and her pair of water eyes were also particularly nervous: “Father has a new beauty named Pianpian.”

When Mrs. Shun heard the words, she felt relieved and sneered: “Are there few women around your father coming and going? What matters?”

“Mother, this is very different this time.” The main purpose of Helianxiao’s coming today was to tell Madam Shun the news. Seeing that she was totally unconcerned, she couldn’t help but cause anxiety.

“Oh, where is it different?”

Helian smiled and pondered for a moment, and then faintly described: “This woman was sent by her father’s doorman. Not only can she sing and dance, but she is also proficient in poetry and poetry. She is naturally enchanting and kitsch, and she is a stunner among individuals.”

Madam Shun was a little wary on her face and said: “If this is the case, you really have to pay more attention to this Pian Pian. But the old princess has never liked such wild women, how does she react?”

Helian laughed and said very clearly: “Although this woman is very enchanting, she is very respectful to the old princess, and she has a low voice and befriends other people, which relaxes the hostility of others to her. More than that, I went to the old princess yesterday to ask for peace. , I saw her pretending to be Guanyin—”

“What are you talking about, pretending to be Guanyin?”

“Yeah.” Helian smiled intently recalled. At that time, Pian Pian had a flower crown on her head, her hair hanging down her shoulders, her eyes were smiling, her right hand was twisted with a string of Buddhist beads, her left hand was holding her right wrist and crossed in front of her abdomen, she was slender and dignified, with a leisurely expression. Just like the beauty who walked down from the same portrait, it is really beautiful, “The old princess said that she is—a flattering Guanyin!”

The old princess has a very high vision, and it is definitely extraordinary to get this evaluation. Mrs. Shun felt as if she was freezing, and she gasped in an instant, “Where did she find such a woman?”

He Lianxiao had already investigated: “Father said that she was also the daughter of a good family. She came to the capital to find her relatives because of her family’s failure. As a result, all her relatives were gone, so she asked someone to find a suitable family for life. ”

Mrs. Shun sneered unconsciously: “How long has she been in the house?”

Helian grinned and said, “Only seven or eight days.”

“But in seven or eight days, he can coax the prince into a circle. He is definitely a powerful person.” A faint feeling appeared in Madam Shun’s heart.

Helian laughed and sighed slightly. Although his father loved Mrs. Shun, he was always bored with the same woman for so many years. Over the years, he occasionally spent the night in other concubine rooms. Mrs. Shun never took it to heart before, because no one could shake her position. However, Helianxiao felt that this time was different from the usual. King Qing was extremely obsessed with the woman, and had never stepped here in the past few days, let alone a word of peace of mind for Mrs. Shun. She couldn’t help saying: “Mother, it’s important to think about going out earlier. If the situation continues like this, I’m afraid my father won’t even remember who you are.”

Mrs. Shun gritted her teeth and said, “I’m looking for something, and you will try to get it to your father.” She looked left and right, but couldn’t find any good things.

He Lianxiao just reminded softly: “Nothing can compare to my mother’s body.”

Mrs. Shun took a deep breath, pulled out her embroidered mandarin duck veil, shaped it into a wishful knot, and handed it to Helianxiao.

“Don’t worry, mother, I will definitely let my father let you out.” Helian smiled and tightened the veil, vowing to promise.

Helian said with a smile, and she gave the wishful knot to King Qing that afternoon, and the other party really ordered Mrs. Shun to meet in the study. When Mrs. Shun heard that she was summoned, she was immediately happy. She carefully cleaned up, turned all the clothes over, and finally chose a plain old lotus-colored dress to wear on her body. This plain color and simple style. Coupled with her thin description, it became more and more pitiful, so she took the carefully prepared snacks and went to King Qing’s study. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard laughter coming from inside.

“Master, this handwriting is really good!”

“Oh, where is it good?”

“This handwriting is vertical and horizontal, free and unrestrained, thin pens have flesh, fat pens have bones, just like rowing on a boat, set on the sea, it makes people feel open, it is a rare masterpiece.”

The voice was soft and pleasant, making people scratch and scratch like a cat’s claw, but Mrs. Shun’s heart suddenly sank into the ice cave.

After a while, the voice continued to speak softly and quietly: “But this poem is desolate and sentimental, empty and vast. The prince seemed to be in a bad mood at the time—”

King Qing said with admiration: “Pianpian is indeed my confidant. Yes, this poem was written when I was stationed at the border and looked around the border. Although the calligraphy was ups and downs and the momentum was unrestrained, the emotions were melancholy and lonely!”

When she heard the word confidant, Mrs. Shun’s brain was dumbfounded, and she almost forgot where she was, unable to think or even breathe. confidant? ! Qing Wang Mingming said that he was his only confidant in the past two decades! But in just seven or eight days of work, has this confidant become a past tense? No, she doesn’t believe it, she never believes it! I spent a full twenty years, how can I be no better than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl!

Opposite King Qing’s study was a lake, and in the pavilion in the center of the lake, Jiang Xiaolou personally poured a cup of tea for Princess Qing.

Concubine Qing looked at the direction of the study and shook her head unconsciously: “I haven’t used this method before. I even gave the maid by my side to the prince, but no one can compare to Madam Shun’s status.”

The smile slid from the slightly curved lips. Jiang Xiaolou was calm and calm: “Mother, you must prescribe the right medicine for the disease, and the same is true for the beauties. You must fit the prince’s heart and grab his stomach. , Otherwise it will only be counterproductive.” Jiang Xiaolou took a lot of thought to put Madam Shun to death.

“Mother, do you hear the sound?”

“what sound?”

“Someone’s heartbroken voice.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s lips hooked upwards, witnessing Madam Shun’s bleak and desperate future with the calmest smile…
