Chapter 1,261: Goodbye Yue Xiran

The concubine who said this fell silent for a long time before speaking slowly: "Qing'er, compared to the others, you are the weakest, and now you are in trouble with Prince Cheng again. The more help you can get, the better..."

"Don't worry, Concubine. I know what Concubine is thinking, and I followed Concubine's suggestion to keep a low profile. It's not us who provoked Prince Cheng this time. I don't know what Prince Cheng was thinking. I acted as a shield, so we should backhand, otherwise he would really think we were easy to bully."

Chu Qing whispered.

Speaking of this, he also had a headache. He had somehow offended Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng also inexplicably wanted to push Shao Jing's blame onto his back. Then he hinted at pushing Shao Jing and counterattacked him. Unexpectedly, Really, Prince Cheng was immediately involved and even had Prince Cheng banned from leaving the house.

The feud between the two houses was finally settled.

He originally just wanted to watch the fire from the other side and watch them fight to the death, and then he became the oriole in the end.

It was not his original intention to step in at this time and confront the two Duke Cheng. He was still confused now. It seemed that it was strange for Prince Cheng to find him. He didn't know if Prince Cheng was out of his mind. Well, it doesn't matter if you deal with yourself, what "ghost" thing is happening at this time.

At first glance, it was clear that Prince Cheng was venting his anger.

"It's best if you think so. It's best if we don't resist Prince Cheng. Anyway, Prince Cheng can't cause much trouble. On the contrary, King Yue, King Zhou, and Prince Chen should deal with it more carefully." The concubine warned.

"Don't worry, concubine, I know how to do it. Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou are evenly matched. They have been fighting secretly. Some of our men have also sneaked in. Only by letting them take action at the right time can we benefit. , As for Chu Liuchen..." The concubine sneered, "He is just the son of the late emperor like you, could it be possible that he really thought he had a chance!"

The Dowager Empress mocked, "You don't have to keep him when you ascend the throne in the future. He is just a sick child. He will die if he dies early. What else can he do if he stays? It will not increase his reputation much if he stays."

Thinking of that beautiful woman back then, the Dowager Empress felt a surge of anger rising up. Her appearance that day was also one of a kind. She thought that after entering the palace, she would definitely be the favorite in the harem, but she didn't expect that the Queen Empress was better than her. She was even more beautiful, and the favor she could get from the late emperor was only a little bit.

Fortunately, the late emperor grew disgusted with the late empress, so she finally got a chance.

"His health is much better. I'm afraid he is also a strong opponent." Chu Qing is different from the concubine. The concubine's affairs about Chu Liuchen are all rumors and hearsay, but he has personally experienced Chu Liuchen's behavior. , making Chu Qing very uncomfortable. Whenever in front of Chu Liuchen, Chu Qing even felt like being seen through.

"His health cannot be cured, and the poison is not easy to remove. Besides, after so many years, he would have been poisoned long ago even if he was not dead." The concubine said with a proud smile.

Chu Qing's heart moved: "Mother, concubine, who poisoned her?"

"The poison was administered by the Empress, or it should not be said that it was administered by her. It was passed through her hands. It was specially presented by our people. Even if they wanted to check, they would not be able to find the ones on our heads or inside. Not just one person!" the concubine said proudly.

She had actually controlled many people at that time, and the first empress had also trusted her for a while. If the first emperor could hold on for a while, the position of the first empress would be hers, and the son she gave birth to would definitely be able to

When I become the crown prince, I feel a little depressed when I think about it. Time waits for no one.

If the late emperor had not died early, her plan would have been realized long ago, and there would be no issues with the other princes now.

"The Queen is not afraid of people finding out?" This was the first time Chu Qing knew clearly the cause of Chu Liuchen's illness. It was not an innate poison, but the Queen Mother poisoned the former Queen.

The empress at that time was just a princess, but she actually had the guts to poison the former empress!

"Okay, these things have been in the past for a long time, and they don't have much to do with you. You just need to be careful, and don't act in vain at Yu Hui'an. This is enough for the time being." The Dowager Queen shook her hand, I don’t want to bring up this topic again, what I just said was already a faux pas.

"My son knows! So how will we handle the matter of Qiu Yi bringing Shao Jie'er back tomorrow?" Chu Qing said.

"Let Mo Qiuyi do this. Since she is determined to help you clean up the backyard, she is doing the right thing. After Shao Jie'er comes back, don't treat her as anything good. She is just a concubine. Whatever happens in the mansion is fine." The concubine thought for a while and said.

In the past, Shao Jie'er had the Xingguo Hou Mansion behind her. Even though she was a concubine, she would not be too harsh for Shao Jing's sake. However, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing now. The concubine has already made up her mind. Shao Jie'er should indeed take over. When you come back, even if you die, you should die in the Prince Qing's Mansion, so as not to cause trouble again in the future.

In the Empress Dowager's heart, Shao Jie'er is a dead person, but it's not just to take her life immediately, but to take Shao Jie'er's life after raising her for a while.

"Okay, I will obey my mother and concubine in everything!" Chu Qing said meekly.

The concubine was very satisfied with his appearance, her eyes became softer and softer: "A woman like Shao Jie'er is originally unclean. When my son becomes the emperor, why should he care about such a woman if he doesn't have any beauty he wants?" .”

"That's what my mother said!" Chu Qing lowered her head to hide the displeasure in her eyes.

He is also a prince, and he is also the heir of the late emperor. He will also ascend to the throne in the future. If he is supported by his mother and concubine every step of the way, how will he occupy a great position in the future.

But he also knew that the concubine was doing it for his own good. Although she was a little dull, he could still understand the concubine's good intentions, so he didn't refuse.

After chatting with the concubine for a few more words, I went back to rest...

Shao Wanru told Chu Liuchen early the next morning and took a few people to the outside. This time she went to find Zhao Xiran.

After Zhao Xiran and Shao Huaan came out of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, they did not live in Zhao Shangshu's house. They went directly to a courtyard in Zhao Shangshu's house and lived there with Shao Jie'er.

The yard was very remote, and the carriage took several detours to get there.

In a small courtyard, the door of the courtyard was tightly closed. Yujie went up and knocked on the door. After a long time, she saw someone coming to open the door. It was Qiuyue, the maid next to Zhao Xiran. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Yujie.

"Is Grandma in there?" Yujie asked.

"Grandma is here... Princess, please stay for a moment. I will go and invite grandma over right away!" Qiuyue said excitedly after realizing the situation.

He turned around and ran inside, and soon he led Zhao Xiran over.

Zhao Xiran's dress was very simple, and he looked much slimmer. He bowed deeply in front of Shao Wanru and said, "I have met the princess."

"Sister-in-law, you're welcome." Shao Wanru said softly, "How about living here?"

I raised my eyes and looked around, everything was like this

The courtyard is not big, but it can be seen that it is very dense, the population is also dense, and there are people from all walks of life, so the environment is not very good.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. It's okay!" Zhao Xiran said with a wry smile.

No one expected the change of things. Before, she was the grandma of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion, but now she is just the grandma of an ordinary family. There were originally infinite possibilities, but now there are no possibilities. Even her father gave up on her, and she still Nothing to complain about.

Now when I saw Shao Wanru again, his expression was very complicated.

After letting Shao Wanru sit down in the room, Qiuyue brought tea.

"What do you want the princess to do today?" Zhao Xiran asked.

"Come and see eldest brother and sister-in-law." Shao Wanru said and asked Yujie and Qing'er to bring the gifts. Zhao Xiran's smile became more and more bitter as he looked at the several pieces of bright satin placed on the table.

Although she was not the eldest wife of the Xingguo Hou Mansion before, she was in control of everything in the manor. She had never seen any good things, but now she was kicked out of the manor with nothing.

Some of her dowry is actually still in the house, but she doesn't have the face to ask for it.

Shao Jing's matter is not an ordinary matter. If he is not from the same house, he is afraid that his family will be confiscated and his family will be exterminated. Now that only Shao Jing can survive, it should be the intention of Shao Wanru and Shao Yuanhao. From this point of view, Zhao Xiran's feelings for Shao There seemed to be no hatred, even some guilt.

She had long suspected Shao Jing. That day her father asked her to marry into the Xingguo Marquis Mansion because he suspected that Shao Jing had those few words in his hand. What she didn't expect was that Shao Jing actually murdered her own brother, and also did what he did. She was involved in the matter of imprisoning her sister-in-law, which can be regarded as her own fault.

Zhao Xiran has been thinking a lot these days and is clearly aware of how wrong her previous behavior was. Everything, including the initial threat to Shao Wanru, was actually a mistake.

The biggest mistake she made was that she didn't think clearly about the consequences. She thought that the most important thing was that Shao Jing secretly obtained some information from the former prince and found those calligraphy and paintings.

The consequence of repeated mistakes was that she ended up where she is now.

What chilled her the most was that her father, who had always been so obedient to her before, unexpectedly had an incident in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. When she returned to the mansion, she pushed herself out again, leaving only such a small courtyard for herself.

She followed her father at home and married her husband. Sure enough, her father was just using her. I used to feel that my father valued me and that I was not inferior to other men. But in fact? I was coaxed by my father to accompany me to a lifetime of happiness. I thought I was helping my father out of his worries!

In fact, what kind of things are more important than my daughter's happiness? After all, I am just a girl in a boudoir, with a little knowledge, but what about my father? Is a father who can become a minister really as shallow as himself?

In the past, his father's words that he was no better than a man now seemed like a joke. Now that he was in this position, what else did Zhao Xiran not understand? He was just a chess piece in his father's hands. Although he was not worthy of use, he never knew when he would have to use it. What's up?

This is what his father had in mind, and that's why he kept coaxing him. Now that things have reached this level, his father will no longer protect him and push him out. The married daughter will throw water away.

"Is anyone at home?" Suddenly there was a heavy knock on the door. The knock on the door was very loud, even in the house. It sounded like the person who came was very unkind.
