Chapter 1,219: Unable to Sit Still, the Concubine Enters the Palace
Chu Qing hurriedly returned from Xingguo Hou's Mansion, and immediately went directly to the concubine's yard. When she sat down, she picked up the warm water on the table, drank half a glass of it in one go, and then put it down heavily.
"How is it?" asked the concubine. There was no one else in the room, only their mother and son.
"This bitch doesn't want to come back. He said he wanted to stay with Madam Xingguo Hou because she had a stroke." Chu Qing said angrily. He never thought that Shao Jie'er would stay in Xingguo Hou's mansion so simply.
Something happened to the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo, which made it reasonable for her to stay there. If he wanted to let her come back, it would be a bit too much.
"I told you at the beginning that Shao Jie'er was not a good person, but later on you didn't know what kind of ecstasy was poured into her, and you actually thought she was okay. Look, if something like this happened, it must have been her secretly spreading the news. , I heard that she and Mr. Wen who came to the house that day, the two families grew up together, and they are childhood sweethearts."
The concubine sneered and said, without outsiders, her lightness and indifference no longer existed, she became much sharper, her eyes were narrow and long, and she looked a bit more sinister than Chu Qing, how could she be a person in the Buddhist hall? Inside is the image of a woman who is peacefully repairing herself.
"Mother, concubine, what's the use of talking about this now." Chu Qing said angrily. If he knew that Shao Jie'er might do something bad, he would have killed her at that time to avoid so many accidents.
Not long after Shao Jie'er left, the people from the Ministry of Punishment came to the house again to check and killed a carbine. Although he was displeased, he was helpless and watched helplessly as the body of the minor official was retrieved from the temple of his mother and concubine.
A dead criminal official.
This petty official was also involved in the death of Mrs. Jiang, the Marquis of Xingguo.
People from the Ministry of Justice later found out that the petty official might have entered Jiang's house at that time. In other words, if Jiang didn't commit suicide, then this petty official might have killed him.
Finally, this little official appeared in the Qingjun Palace.
With so many things mixed together, Chu Qing had a headache and just wanted to find out everything.
When he found the small official, when the men in black had just retreated, someone discovered the small official. He originally thought he was one of the men in black. After interrogating him, he discovered that this small official was nothing at all. He didn't know that he was knocked unconscious on the way back home and sent to him.
After understanding this, Chu Qing only had the word "frame" in his mind. Someone framed him and punished the clerk vigorously. He found out Shao Jing's name from the clerk's mouth and knew that Shao Jing had someone send a message to him to attack the Jiang family. , and also created the illusion that Jiang himself hit the wall and died.
Then he vaguely mentioned a person. This person was unknown to others, but Chu Qing knew it. This person was apparently from King Cheng.
That is to say, there is a connection between King Cheng and Shao Jing, and he actually helped Shao Jing deal with the troublesome Jiang family. The relationship between the two people is even more unusual.
During the torture training, he accidentally beat a minor official to death. Chu Qing still thought of waiting for the incident to pass for a while before trying to get the minor official away. Unexpectedly, someone from the punishment department actually found him. If it weren't for his mother and concubine, At the last moment, he blamed the assassins and said that the people from the Criminal Department were mysterious assassins in black who wanted to assassinate their mother and son, but they couldn't get through at that time.
Even so, the entire Qingjun Palace is now under surveillance.
Someone must have told the Ministry of Punishment about the minor official’s affairs.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to search again and again, then come back again, and finally find the person.
The concubine and Chu Qing checked around and found that the most suspicious person was Shao Jie'er.
But Shao Jie'er went back to Xingguo Hou's Mansion. Chu Qing immediately took people to Xingguo Hou's Mansion, saying that he was going to invite Shao Jie'er, but in fact he just wanted to capture Shao Jie'er back.
Unexpectedly, Shao Jie'er had been prepared for it, but something happened at the Xingguo Hou Mansion. It was said that Mrs. Xingguo Hou had suffered a stroke, and Shao Jie'er stayed to take care of her seriously ill grandmother.
By this time, it was no longer a doubt, but a certainty.
Shao Jie'er was the one who tipped off Wen Xichi.
"Concubine, what should I do? Does this bitch know about other things in our house? If people know, it will be a bad thing!" Chu Qing said coldly.
If he were to see Shao Jie'er at this time, he would definitely kill her with a knife.
"Probably not. I used to keep a close eye on her and wouldn't let her get close to me. I would let her go back when something happened. The most she knows is that I don't like her, so she can't possibly know anything else." The concubine shook her head. The face under the lamp looked dark, but there were also some weird colors from time to time.
"Will the Punishment Department believe what you say?" Chu Qing thought for a while and asked. Although Wen Xichi from the Punishment Department retreated, he was still uneasy and felt that this matter would not be so easy to resolve.
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother." The concubine gritted her teeth and said, this Wen Xichi is really difficult to deal with. He is actually a man who is not easy to get into. Looking at this, he will not let Qingjun Palace go so easily. .
"Concubine, will you enter the palace tomorrow?" Chu Qing exclaimed, knowing that the last thing his concubine wanted to do was to enter the palace.
"Yes, when you enter the palace, you must go and see the Queen Mother. I heard that the Queen Mother is ill!" The concubine gritted her teeth and said. When she left the palace, she made up her mind that she would definitely come back. How many times did she have when she left? If you are looked down upon by others, when you come back, you must have someone carry the chariot into the palace through the main entrance.
But right now, it's not the time yet. She won't just talk about these conflicts of temperament, otherwise there wouldn't be anything going on with her son.
"Concubine, please be careful tomorrow." Chu Qing said uneasily.
"Don't worry, we have people in the palace." The concubine smiled coldly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and the meaning of ridicule was obvious...
After all, the concubine of the Prince of Qing County did not enter the palace the next day, because the Queen Mother went to Huaguang Temple to worship Buddha, and Shao Wanru accompanied the Queen Mother there.
In addition to the Queen Mother, there is also the Queen, and next is Shao Wanru, Princess Chen.
There are not many people, but all of them have noble status, except for Shao Wanru, Princess Chen, who is a bit inconspicuous.
When they arrived at Huaguang Temple, Shao Wanru chatted with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
After the previous incident was dealt with, the Empress Dowager's attitude became much kinder. When she saw Shao Wanru, she also had a smile on her face, as if they had always been on good terms with each other. She held the Empress Dowager in her arms without saying a word. The Empress Dowager laughed a few times from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After talking for a while, the Queen Mother felt a little tired and asked the Queen Mother and Shao Wanru to go enjoy the scenery on their own without staying with her.
Aunt Wei also repeatedly promised that she would look after the Queen Mother.
The Empress and Shao Wanru came out of the courtyard: "If Princess Chen is tired, go and rest."
"Thank you, the Queen." Shao Wanru saw that the Queen didn't want her to accompany her, so he said goodbye with a smile. She didn't want to accompany the Queen either, so it would be best for everyone to enjoy it separately.
The Empress nodded and silently watched Shao Wanru leave, the smile on her face slowly receding.
"Your Majesty, let's go over there and enjoy the scenery. I heard that the purple bamboo in Huaguang Temple is pretty good. It's rare for Your Majesty to leave the palace, so she just needs to calm down." The palace maid who followed over to serve said softly.
The Queen turned around and lowered her voice and asked, "Is King Zhou here?"
"Already here!" The palace maid's voice became lower and lower, and only the queen who was near could hear it clearly.
Hearing that her son had come, the Queen Mother took a deep breath. She had been confined in her palace for these days, and it was not easy to even see her son. She tried to find a way to get the Queen Mother's permission to go out this time. , she and her son have some things to discuss, but they can’t let anyone know yet.
"Did anyone notice it?"
"Don't worry, Madam, His Royal Highness King Zhou was very careful. He just pretended to be an ordinary nobleman offering incense and did not come in using His Highness's true identity," the palace maid said.
The queen nodded, quite satisfied with Chu Liuzhou.
Although she was locked up, her son was doing well. He was much more sensible and wise than before when she was blocking everything...
Shao Wanru didn't expect to meet Mrs. Wenxiang and Gu Xishu here.
The banquet that was to be held by Prime Minister Wen's Mansion was rescheduled because of Jiang's affairs.
The Xingguo Hou Mansion and Wen Xiang's Mansion were together. On one side, someone died and had to do some innocent things, while on the other side, they were busy choosing a wife. This was really unreasonable, and it also made people feel weird. After thinking about it, Mrs. Wen Xiang finally realized Let the banquet be rescheduled so that it does not coincide with Jiang's funeral.
"Who is this?" Mrs. Wen Xiang asked Gu Xishu who was supporting her when she saw Shao Wanru coming from a distance. She didn't look like an ordinary family member.
This kind of appearance can be said to be stunning, and my son will definitely like it.
In order to get her youngest son married, Mrs. Wenxiang also worked hard and wholeheartedly wanted to marry him a wife. However, this little son didn't care at all and didn't take it to heart at all. Mrs. Wenxiang was so anxious that she had blisters on her mouth. .
If it were the woman in front of him, his son would be willing, right? She has never seen such a beautiful lady from aristocratic family.
"Aunt, this isn't it, it's Princess Chen!" Seeing the surprise and longing in Mrs. Wen Xiang's eyes, Gu Xizhu knew what it meant best. She gritted her teeth and secretly resented why she was the closest person to her aunt, but her aunt couldn't see it. to myself.
"Is this Princess Chen?" Mrs. Wen Xiang stopped. She didn't know her before, so it didn't matter whether she said hello or not. Now that she knows, of course she has to say hello. The old prime minister also told her in private when he returned home. The incident with Prince Chen made her particularly concerned about the princess of Prince Chen's palace.
Shao Wanru also saw Mrs. Wenxiang and originally wanted to leave. She did not want to see Mrs. Wenxiang, but now that she had stopped, she could not leave.
He took a few steps forward and looked at Mrs. Wenxiang opposite.
In the last life, they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but in this life they are like strangers. Many things in the world are not traceable. She can only thank God again for allowing her to be reborn...
