Chapter 1,037 The Fate of the Ning Sisters

"When can I come back?" This is the most important sentence of Aunt Yu. What Mrs. Tai cares about most is herself.

"Well, if there is a big happy event, I should be able to come back. After all, the heads of the house are too young and have little experience. The Queen has not given an explicit decree!"

After receiving the benefits and wanting to befriend Aunt Xi, the nanny in the palace thought about it for a moment and still told her a truth that didn't sound like the truth.

After saying that, he ignored Nanny Yu and turned around to leave.

To this extent, it is considered to be the truth to the people in the palace, but if it continues to be said, it will be serious.

After reading these words, Grandma Yu's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around happily and went into the house.

The lady in the room was sitting on the bed with a sinister look on her face.

"Mrs. Tai, you don't have to worry. The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. You can come back then. You just need to stay outside for a few days to relax. Yuhui Nunnery is indeed quite quiet." Aunt Yu came in and said with a smile. , "I just asked this old slave, and the palace must have the same intention. It was because the empress in the palace was offended by forcing Princess Chen to come forward."

"It's her again!" The wife patted the quilt angrily, "I knew this was a disaster..."

"Madam, please be careful what you say!" Grandma Yu hurriedly stopped her. There were many people serving in this room just now, although they were all standing aside with their heads bowed.

"Everyone, please go down!" the lady said coldly.

One by one, the maids bowed their heads and retreated.

"What else did you say?" After everyone left, the Dowager asked with a livid face. She never thought that this matter would eventually fall on her, because she failed to ask the Queen to reconcile.

"Mommy only said that if there is a big happy event, you can come back. After all, there is no elder in this house who can take care of the affairs in the backyard. If something goes wrong, it will not be good. "Mama Yu said hurriedly.

The Queen Mother immediately understood what she said. If we talk about a great happy event, what other happy event can be compared to the Queen Mother's birthday? This day is very close.

When I thought about it, I felt a little more relaxed, and the clouds on my face faded a lot. If you put it this way, there really weren't many days left.

Her own safety was no longer a big deal, so the wife turned her mind to the previous matter: "Who on earth sued me like this?"

"This old slave can't tell. It seems to be related to Princess Yuan'an and Princess Chen. He also said that His Highness Prince Chen is not in the capital, so the Queen Mother takes special care of Princess Chen!" Aunt Yu shook her head, " The old slave thinks that it was Princess Yuan'an who went to the palace to file a complaint, and then Princess Chen also went to the palace to plead for mercy. Something might have happened after that, causing the Queen to turn her anger on you!"

She, as a servant, cannot know exactly what happened in the palace. She can only base it on what the nuns in the palace just said, plus some of her own guesses.

"She's really useless. She couldn't handle such a small thing even if she was asked to do it!" The madam patted the edge of the bed vigorously. Of course she was talking about Shao Wanru.

"Madam, what are we going to do now?" Aunt Yu asked.

"First let people prepare incense and candles, and then tell them that I am going to Yuhui Temple to offer incense for a while to pray for the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion!" The Taifu said, since the Queen Empress did not invent the edict, it was to give herself face, and she would be considered unwell at this time. , you have to get up immediately.

"Go and inform the Marquis and ask him to take more care of the house. Don't be distracted anymore. First, take care of things in your own house, and Hua'an..." The Madam paused here, "Let's take care of the house." Hua An, please endure this tone for now, stop making trouble, and wait until you have the opportunity to talk about it later."

When his eldest granddaughter enters Prince Yue's Mansion and becomes Princess Yue, and later becomes Queen, there will be many opportunities for revenge in the future, but now is not the best time.

"Yes, I know, I will go and tell the Marquis now." Aunt Yu said, it is better for her to pass on this kind of words, lest the little maids fail to understand the meaning and pass the wrong words.

Wang Shengxue's affairs became less important because of Wang Shengxue's death.

Nothing happened to Yan Xi, and nothing happened to the maid who jumped off the building. It was only Wang Shengxue who was in trouble. Everything was focused on the dead Wang Shengxue, and the others were less responsible.

Even Ning Caixian is waiting for the day when she will be released from prison. She feels that the cause of everything is Wang Shengxue. No matter what the cause is, he is responsible for it. Now that everyone is dead, what else can he do? What can we do? It is not the same thing to keep Ning Caixian as an accomplice.

As for Ning Xueqing, nothing happened even more. She had no idea that she had walked in, so she could be said to be innocent.

After being locked up for a few more days at most, we really couldn't find out who poisoned Wang Shengxue, so we let her go. At least she had little connection with the original incident.

No one expected that Ning Xueqing, who seemed the least connected, suddenly made a confession, saying that there was someone behind Wang Shengxue, and there had always been someone.

She was a concubine, and it was impossible for Wang Shengxue to tell her everything, but she vaguely knew that there was someone behind Wang Shengxue, saying that she saw a stack of large amounts of banknotes in Wang Shengxue's hands. These banknotes were fundamental to Wang Shengxue. Impossible to get.

The people from the Ministry of Punishment were already looking for the people behind Wang Shengxue. When they heard Ning Xueqing's words, they immediately became energetic and went to the palace to search. They actually found a lot of banknotes with large amounts of money.

Everyone knew that Wang Shengxue was from a low-income family, so how could he have such a large number of banknotes? Furthermore, it was unclear whether this relationship would be investigated further.

The Minister of Punishment sorted out the evidence in his hand and hurried to see the emperor.

The emperor was furious in the imperial study. He called King Zhou over and scolded him before driving him out.

When His Highness King Zhou went out, there was blood on his head. One look and he knew that the emperor had smashed it. When King Zhou arrived at the Fengyi Palace of the Empress, the Empress immediately called the imperial doctor, and there was another panic. .

Everyone in the palace was insecure and even spoke in a lower voice for fear of causing trouble.

Whether it was the people waiting on the Emperor's side or the people waiting on the Queen's side, they were all extremely cautious. His Highness King Zhou had offended the Emperor and made him very angry.

The Minister of Punishment left after King Zhou left. When he walked out of the imperial study room, he was sweating. There was a quarrel between father and son. For a minister like him, it was a quarrel between the king and his ministers. , both father and son, and monarch and minister. No matter which one it is, it is fatal to His Highness King Zhou.

He shook his head helplessly. His Highness King Zhou stretched his hand a little longer. Although those banknotes were not directed at His Highness King Zhou, they were referring to a steward in King Zhou's palace, and he was also close to King Zhou. of stewardship.

The Ministry of Punishment has been investigating Wang Shengxue's poisoning before, focusing on the time when this incident occurred. It did not investigate further before. Now that we have the banknote, we will investigate according to the time shown on the banknote, and the results will be almost the same. .

This steward of His Highness the King of Zhou gave Wang Shengxue a sum of money. Although nothing happened after that, and this Wang Shengxue did not seem to be promising, the matter of Wang Shengxue's poisoning this time seemed to be related to His Highness the King of Zhou. It is related. Of course, the Ministry of Punishment also vaguely discovered that it was also related to Xingguo Hou Shao Jing.

Originally, Xingguo Hou Shao Jing was the first person to be contacted, but now that he had evidence of banknotes, King Zhou became the first person to be related.

The Ministry of Punishment did not dare to investigate further, so the Minister of Punishment packed up all the evidence and sent it to the emperor for his adjudication.

His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is the legitimate son of the Zhonggong, with a distinguished status. It is impossible to compromise for a small prince. How this matter depends on the emperor's intention. If the emperor says that he wants to investigate, it means that it is impossible for the King of Zhou to position himself in the Zhonggong again. , the Ministry of Punishment can still continue the investigation, but if the emperor does not allow the investigation, it certainly means that the King of Zhou is still possible.

It is impossible for a prince to bear such a title.

At the moment, it seems that the emperor still has some thoughts about King Zhou, so he clearly ordered that there is no need to investigate further. As for Wang Shengxue, all matters will be pushed to Wang Shengxue. As for the others, they are just prostitutes and will be released.

After thinking about this clearly, the Minister of Punishment shook his head and strode outside the palace. He still didn't think highly of King Zhou. In comparison, King Yue was much calmer and calmer than King Zhou.

Of course, Wang Shengxue's matter was actually not easy to handle. The emperor only said that a case ended here, but it was actually very inappropriate to end it at this time. Fortunately, there was still a release of the list. The Minister of Punishment thought it would be better to put it together with the date of the release of the list. It can also stop these people from paying attention to Wang Shengxue's affairs!

The incident involving Wang Shengxue caused a big fuss, because it related to some matters concerning the candidates in the world. The candidates are now waiting for the final release of the results. Even a small matter has become a big deal, and it has become the most talked about among the scholars who are waiting for the results. One more thing.

The case is being solved relatively quickly now. Wang Shengxue is responsible for everything. It was Wang Shengxue who was jealous of Yan Xi and set up such a trap. But now that Wang Shengxue is dead and in prison, is this matter considered settled?

The scholars were dissatisfied and felt that there was something inside.

But fortunately, the rankings were released at this time. While everyone was paying attention to their respective rankings, they all discovered that Mr. Yan was actually in high school. Not only was he in high school, but his ranking was still at the front. Mr. Yan Xiyan was able to watch the sunrise until the clouds cleared. It's a great joy.

Just wait for the day of the final palace examination to see the final ranking.

Some people failed the list and lamented themselves, while some people made the list and were happy to make friends. They didn't pay much attention to the matter of Yan Xi. They were too busy with their own affairs, let alone other people's affairs.

Moreover, in the case of Yan Xi, it was indeed Wang Shengxue who was causing trouble. Now that he is dead, he can't make trouble anymore. Moreover, I heard that he committed suicide. He must have done this because he knew that his sin was unforgivable. .

Thinking about it this way, no one is paying attention to this matter.

Ning Xueqing came out of the prison, squinted her eyes and looked at the long-lost sunshine in front of her. She turned her head with unclear eyes and looked at Ning Caixian on the other side. Ning Caixian was not released, she was an accomplice.
