Chapter 1031: Retreat in Order to Advance, the Princess Pleads Guilty

This palace maid, Shao Wanru, had seen her before. She was the empress' personal maid.

She came back and stood behind the empress, without arousing anyone's suspicion. Only Shao Wanru, who had been paying attention, noticed that there were sweat stains on the forehead of the palace maid, who was obviously in a hurry.

The corners of his lips curled up, and he suppressed his smile.

The news in Ning Xueqing's place was quite fast. Of course, the news from the Queen's side was even faster. It seemed that the Queen had a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, as well as outside.

The Ministry of Punishment just asked about something, and the Empress knew it here.

He lowered his head slightly. Since the Queen didn't ask him directly anymore, and he no longer pursued the matter, the best outcome for the matter between Princess Yuan'an and Shao Huaan was for Mrs. Etai to be Qingxiu.

As for Shao Hua'an's decision to personally apologize to Princess Yuan'an after his leg healed, it was not his own business.

Zhao Xiran is a smart person, so she must have prepared an apology gift and sent it to the Princess Ruiping's mansion.

"Mother, if nothing happens, my daughter-in-law will go back first!" The Queen Mother received the hint from her personal maid and stood up.

"Go!" The Queen Mother nodded.

The empress looked at Princess Yuanan and withdrew. The more she thought about it, the more she became tired of it. If Yuanan was really disfigured, her son would be really wronged.

If his son proposed to marry another noble girl, he would have to agree, and Princess Ruiping's mansion could not say anything else. It must be Princess Yuan'an who has something wrong with her face.

"The Empress Dowager, Yuan An is in such a state right now, it is indeed necessary to ask the imperial doctors in the palace for further diagnosis and treatment." Princess Ruiping stood up, bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager, and then stood up straight with tears in her eyes, "Yuan An If there is anything wrong with An, I...what can I do!"

"Don't worry, it's okay. The Ai family has found a few good doctors who are already waiting in the side hall. You can take Yuan An to have a look. If you need anything else, just tell the Ai family. You can't let them go. Yuan An is really getting married, and his face is not completely healed yet!" the Queen Mother comforted her.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Princess Ruian said with tears in her eyes.

Princess Yuan'an stood up, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother.

"Good boy, get up, look at your face first, and don't think about anything else!" The Queen Mother asked someone to pull Princess Yuan'an up and said softly.

The Queen Mother has always felt that Princess Yuan'an is a sensible person. This time King Zhou decided to settle on her because of the Queen Mother's intention.

Seeing that she was aggrieved at this time, and thinking that she still went out for her own gift, she felt even more pity for Princess Yuanan, and urged her kindly.

The eldest princess Ruiping took Princess Yuanan to the side hall for diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor.

The hall suddenly became empty. The Queen Mother's face turned cold and she snorted: "Rian, do you know your guilt?"

The eldest princess of Ruian hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said: "Empress Dowager, this matter is indeed Ruian's fault, but in the past, Haoer was never taken seriously in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. When he was a child, She only wanted to raise him to death, and never thought that Hao'er was also her biological grandson. Ruian is really worried about sending Hao'er back at this time, fearing that something might happen to Hao'er!"

There were no outsiders around at this time, and the eldest princess Ruian didn't hide her thoughts and spoke frankly.

Just now, she had calculated against the Queen, and she had taken the Queen's words seriously. In the future, even if someone said that Haoer still lived in Ruian's eldest princess's mansion, it was not in line with etiquette. At this point, she just borrowed the Queen's words on purpose.

She has been at odds with the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion for a long time.

Fights between the two people also existed from time to time, first because of Shao Wanru's parents, and later because of Shao Wanru's sister and brother.

Something has happened to the Xingguo Hou Mansion now. According to the temperament of the eldest princess Ruian, she must not give the Xingguo Hou Mansion any more trouble at this time, and she will never let the wife of the Xingguo Hou Mansion get away with it.

If anyone else was in such a mood, the Queen Mother would definitely scold her, but the person in front of her was Princess Ruian, and she spoke so honestly, the Queen Mother was silent for a while.

His eyes fell on the eldest princess Ruian. The eldest princess looked very strong. Even though she was exposed by the Queen Mother at this time, she still looked a bit tough, but the deep sadness in her eyes could be seen clearly.

Shao Yuanhao is indeed the only descendant of Princess Ruian.

On this point, the Queen Mother would look down on Shao Yuanhao, not to mention that there was Shao Wanru here.

Shao Wanru also knelt down beside the eldest princess Ruian without saying a word. He lowered his head and looked small and thin.

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly and waved her hands: "Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, the Queen Mother!" Princess Ruian breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter was over. She pulled Shao Wanru up and sat down next to the Queen Mother again.

"Rian Ruian, you now have a granddaughter and a grandson. You must not be so willful anymore. Even if it is for their own good, you can't cause such trouble with the Xingguo Hou Mansion. From now on, the Xingguo Hou Mansion will not all belong to Shao Yuanhao. !" The Queen Mother looked at Princess Ruian and felt a headache.

She has been making trouble for so many years and has survived it. There are some words that she has long wanted to persuade Ruian, but she felt that she was alone and helpless before, and it was reasonable to vent her anger on the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, but the current situation was not like that. After all, the eldest princess Ruian is also a princess of the royal family, so it doesn't look good to keep making trouble like this.

"The Queen Mother, Ruian doesn't want to keep quarreling with the Xingguo Hou Mansion, but Ruian feels... feels..." The eldest princess Ruian gritted her teeth and looked around. Obviously, these words were not easy to say.

"These are all people from the Ai family, so you can say whatever you want." The Queen Mother said calmly, but her brows furrowed, and she had an intuition that there was nothing good to say in this.

The eldest princess of Ruian has always been straightforward. Just like this, she was exposed by herself and was not afraid. She bluntly said that she had deliberately plotted against the empress. The way she was hesitating to speak now was a bit scary. The difference is strange.

"The Queen Mother, it's not that Ruian doesn't want to say it, but there is really no evidence for this..." said the eldest princess Ruian.

"Since there is no evidence, don't say anything. Ruian, you must know that you are the eldest princess of the royal family. Your words and deeds represent the dignity of the royal family. You must not act arbitrarily!" The Queen Mother interrupted Ruian politely. The eldest princess waved her hands and said a little tiredly, "You go down too, the Ai family is tired!"

There are some things that the Queen Mother does not want to involve too much. No matter what Princess Ruian wants to say, as long as there is no evidence, she does not want to listen.

"The Queen Mother, this matter... Ruian will only tell you about this matter. Ruian feels that Qing Hua and Shao Jiang may not have died in an accident. Someone may be framing them." The eldest princess Ruian gritted her teeth and lowered her voice.

She must talk about this today.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the Queen Mother slapped her hand heavily and said sternly.

"Empress Dowager, Ruian is not talking nonsense. Think about it, why are the second wives the ones who benefit, why even Hao'er has to be raised useless, and why some people let the Di family secretly harm Zhuo Zhuo, again and again. That's what Wang Shengxue said before. , someone must have been instigating this behind the scenes, Zhuo Zhuo is just a girl in a boudoir, and she has just arrived in the capital, how could she possibly offend the Jiang family?"

Princess Ruian argued vigorously.

"Go down. Never say such nonsense in the future. If you dare to talk nonsense again, the Ai family will not be spared!" The Queen Mother's face darkened and she said angrily.

"The Queen Mother..." The eldest princess Ruian still wanted to speak, but Shao Wanru pulled her sleeves, her face was horrified and pale, "Grandma, you must not lie about this. This kind of thing... How can this kind of thing be possible? Woolen cloth?"

Any child who hears about such a thing will not be able to calm down. Shao Wanru can hold the sleeve of the eldest princess Ruian at this time, which is considered very stable.

"Zhuo Zhuo, I..." Princess Ruian still wanted to speak, but this time Shao Wanru stepped forward and hugged her, "Grandma, Zhuo Zhuo, you are the only blood relative who truly loves and protects me. You must not..."

Shao Wanru said this with tears in his eyes.

The Queen Mother's anger slowly calmed down. Shao Wanru's life experience was indeed pitiful, and it was also true that he was plotted by the Di family and the Jiang family.

To be honest, Shao Wanru was indeed innocent.

"Ruian, don't talk nonsense without evidence, but if you have evidence in the future, you can come and tell the Ai family directly." The Queen Mother originally wanted to reprimand the eldest princess Ruian, but for Shao Wanru's sake, she decided to The anger was suppressed, at least leaving a way for Princess Ruian.

Although I don’t believe what she said, it’s good to have this way. If you don’t believe it once, you can do it twice, and if you don’t believe it twice, you can do it three times. Moreover, with these words, Princess Ruian is investigating some things in private, and the emperor will find out. It's excusable. This was what Shao Wanru and Princess Ruian had discussed before.

"Yes, Queen Mother, Ruian knows his mistake!" Princess Ruian lowered her head.

Seeing that she had a good attitude and was no longer as stubborn as before, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that if the eldest princess Ruian shouted to go out, it would be something without evidence. Besides, it happened more than ten years ago. , now it is not a simple matter to dig it out again.

"The Queen Mother, I have something to report!" An imperial doctor came from the side hall and saluted the Queen Mother. His face was very angry, and his small eyes were so angry that they widened. He knew at a glance that the situation was not good. good.

This is the imperial physician who just treated Princess Yuan'an.

"What's wrong with Yuan An?" the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice. The looks of Princess Yuan An and the eldest princess Ruiping just now showed that the matter was not serious. Why didn't it look like that now?

"The medicine the princess used before was not good. I wanted to wash it off for the princess. The princess was unwilling. She also said that the medical skills of the princess were not good. Now she is jealous of other people's medical skills!" The imperial doctor thought of what happened just now. , his beard also stood up in anger. In so many years in Taiyuan Hospital, this is the first time that someone has so bluntly disliked their Taiyin Hospital.

Not only one imperial doctor, but all four imperial doctors were disliked. This was something that had never happened before. It was not the face of one imperial doctor that was slapped, but the face of the entire imperial hospital...
