Chapter 1,094: Who Is Stirring up Trouble Secretly?

"Do you know when King Chen will return to the capital?" Princess Ruian paused and asked after she calmed down. Her face became heavy and she hesitated to speak, "I heard Ruiping say before that it seems unlikely that King Chen will be here. The Empress Dowager rushed back before her birthday, and at this time, no one in the palace went to the Emperor to find out the news..."

There is no male master in the mansion, and the female master is injured again. It is inconvenient for other people in the mansion to go to other people to inquire about information. Princess Ruian originally wanted to inquire, but Shao Wanru told her not to act lightly at this time. In vain.

If this continues, there will be no news from Prince Chen's Mansion. If something happens, there won't even be a chance to respond. Princess Ruian is very worried.

In fact, she hadn't said a few words yet. Princess Ruiping's previous words had some other meaning. It seemed to imply that the reason why King Chen returned to Beijing so slowly and traveled all the way back was because he was accompanying his son-in-law. That Princess Jade Peach, I heard that this Princess Jade Peach is the most beautiful woman in her husband's country.

The meaning of these words made the eldest princess Ruian dislike and worry her very much. However, it was not the time to tell her granddaughter now, as she was afraid that these words would mess up Shao Wanru's mind.

"Grandma, don't worry, King Chen will return to Beijing quickly!" Shao Wanru said softly.

What happened last night was not that cruel according to her own methods. The chief housekeeper later secretly told Chu Liuchen's plan. What she did was to cooperate with Chu Liuchen's plan. Of course, she stabbed herself with a sword. It wasn't a part of Chu Liuchen's plan. Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably guilty.

The chief steward looked at him with a pale face. Even now when he thinks about it, he still feels sorry for him.

The butler just wanted to find a maid to be injured. There was absolutely no such thing as her getting hurt.

But at that moment, Shao Wanru felt that only if she was injured could it work better. Besides, she was proficient in medical skills and knew where to stab. It seemed that the injury was the most serious, but in fact it was not that serious.

"I heard that the one from my husband's country...Princess Yutao is very good..." Princess Ruian frowned tightly. She looked at her granddaughter's pale face without a trace of blood and couldn't bear that she knew nothing about it. , what will happen if the princess of her husband's country really wants to enter Prince Chen's palace?

The news coming from outside repeatedly talked about Princess Yutao, which made Princess Ruian very upset.

She had no doubts about Chu Liuchen at first. Three years ago, Chu Liuchen expressed his intention to marry Shao Wanru to her, and said that his health was not as bad as other people said, and that he would be well if he took good care of him. Not taking good care of himself before was the reason why he gave up on himself. Afterwards, as Chu Liuchen said, his health got better and better.

Except that her face looked as bad as ever, everything else was fine. The Queen Mother even said happily that it seemed that the root cause of the disease was gone, and she could just continue to treat her now.

The eldest princess Ruian breathed a sigh of relief, but there were too many rumors about Princess Yutao at the moment, and they reached Princess Ruian's ears from time to time.

This Princess Yutao seems to be determined to marry Chu Liuchen. What will happen to her granddaughter? It is impossible for a princess of a country to really make a baby for Chu Liuchen.

But if she doesn't do it, will her granddaughter do it?

This is absolutely impossible. The eldest princess Ruian has long made up her mind. If the emperor really has such an intention, she will crash to death in the Jinluan Palace and die there in front of the ministers. See if the emperor can still You can't let your granddaughter become a concubine or some other concubine.

Although she had made up her mind, Princess Ruian really didn't want her granddaughter to be sad, and now her granddaughter was suffering so much.

Although she wanted to hide some things, she felt that she couldn't, so she simply told her first so that her granddaughter would have peace of mind.

"Grandma, don't worry, everything will be fine." Shao Wanru knew what the eldest princess Ruian meant as soon as he heard her words, and immediately comforted the eldest princess Ruian with a smile.

"Princess Jade Tao from the son-in-law's country..." Princess Ruian felt that Shao Wanru didn't understand, so she coughed lowly and said, "Come here and return to Beijing with King Chen. If there is something, maybe "Although my son-in-law's country is a small country, it is too remote and inconvenient for marching. The main purpose of the court is to appease it."

To appease the son-in-law's country, to appease the princess of the son-in-law's country, to sacrifice the position of a prince and concubine to seek peace between the two countries, from the royal point of view, it is not a big deal.

The eldest princess Ruian didn't think it was a big deal at first, but it was related to her only granddaughter, and the eldest princess Ruian was very unwilling.

"Grandma, don't worry, everything will be fine. Even if Princess Yutao is interested, King Chen will pass it off. The person who came to Beijing to marry is not Princess Yutao but Princess Yuyan, the second princess of her husband's country." Shao As if to soothe Princess Ruian softly, she said that she did not want her grandmother to worry about her.

Judging from the way Princess Ruian was hesitant to speak, it was obvious that someone was specifically talking about this kind of thing.

My grandmother actually believed it because of her xinxing, which shows that she said it many times.

"The one you are marrying is not Princess Yutao, but the second princess of your husband's country?" Chief Ruian was stunned and said in astonishment that she had never heard of this matter.

"Yes, so grandma, don't worry. This Princess Yuyan has a relationship with Prince Qing for a long time. Now she is going to Beijing to marry Prince Qing. Princess Yutao is just a bride-to-be and has nothing to do with Prince Chen." Shao Wanru explained with a smile.

"That's great!" Princess Ruian was overjoyed, a heavy stone fell in her heart, and the smile on her face made her look relaxed.

"Brother-in-law promised that I would be good to my sister." Shao Yuanhao didn't understand at first, but now he understood and said dissatisfiedly, "Grandma, on the day my sister got married, my brother-in-law promised me! If my brother-in-law dares to marry another son-in-law, Princess, I will never let him go!"

Hearing Shao Yuanhao's childish words, Princess Ruian and Shao Wanru both laughed.

"Grandma, who told you that Princess Yutao from your husband's country is going to marry King Chen?" Shao Wanru asked after he finished laughing.

"Ruiping always talks about this matter when he brings Yuan An here, and... Mrs. Zhang Xiang also brings her daughter here occasionally to talk about this matter."

Princess Ruian said.

"Mrs. Zhang Xiang and Zhang Qilan?" Shao Wanru was slightly stunned.

"Yes, the most obvious others mentioned are Ruiping and Yuan'an. As for Mrs. Zhang Xiang and Miss Zhang, they were only mentioned once, and they got together by chance when they were with Ruiping."

Princess Ruian thought for a moment and nodded.

"Mrs. Zhang Xiang has a good relationship with my grandmother?" Shao Wanru became curious. He had never heard Zhang Qilan talk about this before.

"It's not very good. We used to interact occasionally, but we didn't come often. Now because King Yue comes here occasionally, more people from the Zhang Mansion have come here a few times." Princess Ruian said.

Chu Liuyue is a superficial person. Over the years, she has come to see the widowed Princess Ruian from time to time. Zhang Qilan is the future Prince Yue's Mansion. She follows Mrs. Zhang to the Princess's Mansion to make friends with Prince Yue. Elders are also an essential thing.

It’s not surprising at all.

But, Shao Wanru just had a strange feeling. She couldn't explain it or understand it. It was just an intuition that made her feel uncomfortable.

There were no elders in Prince Chen's Mansion, and Princess Chen was ill again, so the eldest princess Ruian moved into Prince Chen's Mansion and took care of the injured Shao Wanru as an elder.

Shao Yuanhao also stayed in Prince Chen's Mansion as a guest, and invited his former teacher to come over and stay temporarily in the guest room of Prince Chen's Mansion.

After the attack, the courtyard was rearranged, with Princess Ruian in charge, while Shao Wanru quietly recovered from his injuries.

Rewards from the palace came like water. First, the Queen Mother, then the Queen, Concubine De, Concubine Ming, and even some other concubines sent gifts to Prince Chen's Mansion. Most of them, Shao Wanru, just listened. I said my account was banned, but no one can be contacted specifically.

For a time, Prince Chen's Mansion became lively.

The entrance to Prince Chen's Mansion was heavily guarded, and everyone who entered Prince Chen's Mansion was asked repeatedly for fear of something happening again.

Many aristocratic families who originally wanted to send greetings to Prince Chen's Mansion have temporarily stopped moving. Going to Prince Chen's Mansion at this time can easily lead to accidents, so we'll have to wait and see.

King Yue, King Zhou and King Cheng were all banned and were not allowed to go out.

From time to time in the capital, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division can be seen inquiring about things. When they encounter people who seem to be acting sneakily, they will arrest them first. This is done openly, but secretly I don’t know how many people are investigating this matter. The entire capital city was in a state of panic.

In the palace, in the Fengyi Palace of the Empress, the empress knelt in front of the emperor and said with tears: "Your Majesty, you are really not Zhou Er. He has always had a violent temper. Among the several princes, he is the least scheming. Besides, he is very difficult to deal with." Or Princess Chen, what are you doing to deal with Princess Chen?"

It had been several days, and this was the first time the emperor had set foot in her Fengyi Palace since the accident. As soon as she saw the emperor, the empress shed tears of grievance.

The emperor's face was as sinking as water, and he looked at the queen with cold eyes, his face full of disappointment.

"Originally, I thought you were a good person, so I gave the entire harem to you, but I didn't expect... you can't tolerate King Chen so much."

"Your Majesty, why can't I understand what you are saying?" the queen said anxiously, her heart skipping a beat.

"You really don't understand what I'm saying?" The emperor asked coldly, with a gloomy look in his eyes. He had just returned from Concubine Lan, and he was still angry and annoyed. His breath was stuck in his chest and he felt like he was swallowing. He couldn't stop, and he couldn't spit it out. The Queen Mother's maple leaf painting incident, Princess Chen's assassination incident, several things piled up together, and there were some things that he just couldn't bear.

"I have thought about the utensils used by the late emperor when he died of illness, and you are the only one who knows it best, right? Queen?"

The picture of the medicine bowl used by the late emperor when he passed away, and the scene of his mother serving medicine at that time, are almost very realistic. If someone didn't know something, how could anyone draw such an appropriate picture.
