Chapter 153 The Eight Girls of the Cai Family

Yunqing's book asking for money for the children in the sales home soon reached the crown prince. This book was written by Mr. Xia and Mr. Chen together, and it is very sensational.

After the prince finished reading it, he put it aside and asked, "Yu Xiang, what do you think should be done?" The reason why he asked Yu Xiang first was because if he made a decision, it would not help if he opposed it. Because Yu Xiang can find several reasons to refute his decision.

Yu Xiang said: "Your Highness, the tax in Jiangnan this year has been reduced by 20% compared to last year, which cannot sustain the expenditure of the imperial court at all." Moreover, even a sales home asks the imperial court for money, so if they follow suit in the future, how can they give so much money.

The prince didn't object either, and said, "You can deal with this matter, Prime Minister!"

After the prime minister passed away, the crown prince called Chen Yu and asked, "Why did you say that Prime Minister Yu objected to allocating money to the Salesian Home?" Prime Minister Yu and Yun Qing were allies, so logically speaking, he should take special care of Yun Qing. Yu Xiang's actions now made him suspect that Yu Xiang had a conflict with Yun Qing.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu said: "There must be some conflict between Yunqing and Yu Xiang." After saying this, Chen Yu relayed another matter: "Your Highness, the Salesian does not allocate funds and no one says anything. , but the pensions of those soldiers who died in the early spring battle have not been able to go down. If it is delayed, I am afraid that these soldiers will chill the court." This is really not a good thing.

The prince smiled wryly and said: "There is no money in the treasury, what can we do?" It's not that the prince is unaware of the great hidden dangers of this matter, but he can't do anything about it. Over the years, the east wall has been demolished to make up for the west wall, let alone four to five million taels of pension, even one million taels has to be pieced together.

Chen Yu said: "As far as I know, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is good today. The summer harvest is more than 20% more than last year, but the reported tax income is 20% less than last year." Talk to someone's pocket.

Taining Marquis Mansion has a very rich background, and there are people from them in the south of the Yangtze River, so the news is very well-informed. It can be said that now the Taining Hou Mansion is the most important eyes and ears of the prince.

The crown prince is no longer angry at this time. I don't know how many times I have been angry before, but now he is numb: "Yu Xiang has been in the court for more than 20 years, and more than half of the officials in the court act based on his face." He, the prince of the supervisory country, is actually a puppet.

Chen Yu said: "Your Highness, the only one who can compete with Yu Xiang is His Majesty Guojiu." I don't know why, the relationship between His Highness and Guojiu has been somewhat estranged in the past two years.

The crown prince didn't say anything, what Chen Yu said was not wrong, but no one knew, relying heavily on the Song family was nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger.

The little eunuch hurried over, and whispered to the father-in-law who was outside: "Chief, Qin Liangdi is having a difficult labor."

The prince knew that Qin Yue had a difficult delivery, so he also returned to the East Palace. Originally, the prince had three sons and two daughters, but after the eldest son passed away, the second son died of illness, and the youngest son who remained was sick again. So the crown prince still values ​​Qin Yue's baby.

After giving birth for two days and two nights before giving birth, Grandma Wen walked in from the delivery room tremblingly, lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, the baby is stuck and cannot get out. Qin Liangdi is in danger now. Your Highness, now mother and child can only keep one child." ” Whether to protect the big or the young, it is up to the prince to decide.

The princess stood beside her with her big belly, not saying a word.

The prince said after a while, "Bao Xiao."

After half an hour, the child came out smoothly. Wen Po took the child out and said happily, "His Royal Highness, you are a little prince..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a scream in the delivery room, and Granny Wen's hands shook, almost throwing the child to the ground. After a while, a woman came out from inside, knelt on the ground in horror and said: "Your Highness, empress, Qin Liangdi is bleeding profusely..." The woman gave birth,

The most feared thing is postpartum hemorrhage. Once this happens, it is basically hopeless.

After half an hour, Qin Yue closed his eyes.

Regarding Qin Yue's death, the Crown Prince said in one sentence: "Bury Emperor Liangdi Qin generously." As for the child, the Crown Prince meant to give it to the Crown Princess to take care of.

The Crown Princess is unwilling to take over the child, she will be more than seven months pregnant, how can she have the energy to take care of a newborn baby. The concubine said: "I am not in good health now, it is more appropriate for the child to be taken care of by Heshou." Since the last miscarriage, Heshou has not been pregnant again. And the prince seldom went to stay with her.

The crown prince shook his head and said, "No." For Heshou, the crown prince has always been on guard! He Shou's pregnancy was an accident back then, and he didn't want to have a child with Shou.

Seeing that the Crown Prince disagreed, the Crown Princess thought for a while and said, "Then leave the child in Xiao Liangyuan's care!" Xiao Liangyuan's father is also a member of Prime Minister Yu.

The prince nodded and said: "You can handle this matter."

After the prince left, the concubine's confidant mother felt that her behavior was irrational, and said, "Madam, staying with the child is an extra layer of protection." The reason why the mother said this is because everyone It is said that the concubine's fetus is a daughter. Therefore, Mammy felt that it would be better for the princess to have a son by her side.

The Crown Princess showed a sneer and said, "I don't raise other people's children." Don't say she can still have children, even if she can't have children, she won't raise other people's children. It takes energy, and it is very likely that a wolf will be raised in the end. She would never do such a thing.

Not only is the princess disdainful of raising other people's children, but Heshou is also unwilling to raise other people's children. So knowing that the prince did not agree to hand over Qin Yue's child to her, she didn't feel anything.

In the afternoon of this day, the nurse next to Princess Qingyang said that the princess was sick and missed Heshou. The female officer next to Princess Qingyang said: "The princess misses the county lord so much, I ask the princess to give her permission." Although Heshou is a concubine, she has the blood of the royal family in her body, and this identity makes her occupy a large position. Advantage.

The princess knew that something was going on, but she didn't say anything, she nodded and agreed to let Heshou go back to the princess mansion. She didn't send anyone to follow, because the princess knew very well that even if she sent someone to follow, she would not be able to find out the news.

Back at the Princess Mansion, He Shou went straight into the inner courtyard, saw Princess Qingyang lying on the bed, her expression was not very good, and asked anxiously: "Mother, are you really sick?" She thought her mother was just making an excuse Let her come back!

Princess Qingyang said: "There was a bit of wind yesterday, but it's much better after taking the medicine." It's true that I'm sick, and it's true that I used this to find Heshou to come back to discuss things.

He Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "That's good, mother, you must take care of yourself!" He Shou knew very well that if her mother had something to do, she and her brother would have no backing. At that time, I don't know how I will be bullied.

Princess Qingyang touched Heshoude's head, nodded, and said, "I have something important to tell you about bringing you back this time. The eighth girl of the Cai family fell into the water three months ago, and she woke up as if It's like a different person. Not to mention her temperament has changed drastically, and she also behaves very strangely." Two years ago, when she got Heshou, she made people pay close attention to the eighth girl of the Cai family.

He Shou was very excited when he heard this, and grabbed Princess Qingyang's hand and said, "Mother, this is the eighth girl of the Cai family. She came up with the way I made ice and other ways to make money before. Mother, this eighth girl of the Cai family is capable." It's big, you must control her in your hands."

Princess Qingyang thinks more than Heshou: "People with great ability also have a big temper, so we must find a proper way." Princess Qingyang thinks that the method of coercion is unreliable. Say it, you can't help it.

He Shou was a little hesitant, and asked: "Mother, what method do you think is appropriate?"

Princess Qingyang said: "Use a suitable reason first to get someone to come to the capital. For the rest, wait until she arrives in the capital."

Princess Qingyang thought that this matter was done in a very confidential way and no one else knew about it, but she didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching their mother and daughter long ago.

This person is Yuchen. Chen has always attracted people's attention to Heshou and Princess Qingyang's mansion, and she can know any changes, and this time is no exception.

The visitor said to Yuchen, "Madam, the eighth girl of the Cai family is a concubine of the second room of the Cai family. She used to be timid and cowardly, and she dared not resist when servants bullied her. But after she fell into the water this time and woke up, Not only did she become more courageous and dared to punish the servants who disrespected her, but she also won the favor of the old lady of the Cai family. She even came up with ideas to help the Cai family make a lot of money. People in the Cai family think that the eighth girl survived a catastrophe and has a future blessing .” Actually, if she had to say it, there was clearly something wrong with this person.

After hearing what the visitor said, Yuchen's complexion was very ugly, and he asked again: "You mean that the eighth girl of the Cai family seemed to be a different person after she fell into the water and woke up? Did she change her temperament after falling into the water? " Yuchen is very taboo about such things.

The visitor nodded and said, "Yes."

Yuchen couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's really similar to Heshou back then!" Heshou back then just got sick and then his temperament changed drastically. Therefore, nine out of ten of the eight girls of the Cai family are possessed by ghosts and ghosts just like He Shou. One Heshou is enough, she doesn't want another one like Heshou.

Thinking of this, Yuchen said: "Let's solve the eighth girl of the Cai family!" The so-called solution is naturally silenced.

Nanny Gui had a different idea, and said, "Your Majesty, we can control people and let her be used by us."

Yuchen said with a cold face: "No need."

Nanny Gui knew that her mother was still jealous of what happened back then. But she didn't want to give up: "Your Majesty, what happened back then is over. Lord Heshou is so anxious to get this person, which proves that this person must be very valuable." Thinking about the money that Heshou made back then, there were at least hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand taels, this is money that others can't earn in their entire lives!

Yuchen said: "No matter how valuable it is, I can't use it. These people are lunatics, unreasonable lunatics, I don't want to be contaminated." She doesn't want to be contaminated with these monsters. Who knows what kind of moths will come out if it is contaminated.

Seeing that Nanny Gui still wanted to persuade her, Yuchen waved her hand and said, "Never mind, I've already made up my mind on this matter, and I won't change it." Sooner or later, she will deal with this monster, Heshou. To avoid harming people again. The reason why Yuchen hates Heshou so much is because what happened back then left a deep shadow on her. She still remembers the feeling of being powerless in the face of death. It can be said that that night was the only setback in Yuchen's life. (to be continued)
