Chapter 156 Repaying Debts (1)
The hot summer has passed, and the earth is no longer roasted by the hot sun. The weather gradually became cooler, and He Shou was so excited that he took the maid to the garden for a walk.
In the garden, she met Xiao Liangyuan and the prince's other concubines, but she ignored them and left. In the Eastern Palace, she was the biggest except for the princess, so she didn't need to curry favor with anyone at all.
The maid beside Xiao Liangyuan said: "Qiao Liangdi is only one level higher than the master, but she is older than the crown princess." That defiant look really makes one's teeth itch with hatred.
Xiao Liangyuan didn't care about this: "There are so many words, let's go back!" He is arrogant, so he has capital. Even though His Highness seldom sleeps at Qiao Liangdi's place, she is the one who receives the most rewards in the mansion. Therefore, Xiao Liangyuan's attitude is not to get close, but not to offend either.
After wandering around, He Shou returned to his house. After entering the house on the front foot, Princess Qingyang's confidant mother came over on the back foot. The nanny came over to tell Heshou something: "Master, the princess asked me to tell the master that the eighth girl from the Cai family died suddenly."
He Shou yelled in surprise, and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?" How could it be that the eighth girl of the Cai family was living well at this time in her previous life. After that, he helped the Cai family to bring their business to the capital and gained a firm foothold in the capital. In just a few years, they accumulated a huge amount of wealth.
The nanny was frightened by Heshou's screams. When she came back to her senses, she lowered her voice and said, "Master, the eighth girl from the Cai family is indeed dead. The people we sent have confirmed it, and they buried it in the coffin with their own eyes." .”
When He Shou heard this, he slumped on the chair: "Impossible, there must be something wrong, there must be something wrong." In her previous life until her death, the eighth girl of the Cai family was very beautiful. died. There must be something wrong.
Mammy hesitated for a moment, then said: "The princess asked me to tell the county master about these things. The princess said that she has asked someone to find out who attacked the eighth girl of the Cai family."
Heshou heard what the nanny meant, and asked, "You mean, the death of the eighth girl of the Cai family was not an accident, but someone killed her? How could she, a daughter of a boudoir, be killed by someone?" In a vague way, He Shou He felt that the death of the eighth girl of the Cai family had something to do with him.
Mammy shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, but the princess said that it won't take long to find out who is behind the scenes."
He Shou nodded and said: "Tell my mother, I will wait for her news." The eighth girl of the Cai family died, and the best card was lost.
Princess Qingyang sighed slightly after listening to Mammy's reply: "If Heshou was as calm as he is now, there wouldn't be so many things happening." It's a pity that many things can't be repeated. Nothing to eat.
The nanny asked: "Princess, who do you think is the one who killed the eighth girl of the Cai family?" As the county master said, the eighth girl of the Cai family didn't have any feud with anyone, so why was she killed in a good way? This is indeed suspicious.
Princess Qingyang said: "The people behind the scenes must have enmity with our mothers, otherwise they wouldn't have killed the eighth girl of the Cai family on her way to Beijing."
Mammy's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Princess, that means that person has planted spies in our mansion." It's definitely not ordinary people who can plant someone in their mansion.
Princess Qingyang has no way of determining who it is for the time being, and Heshou has offended too many people, and most of these people are powerful people. However, Princess Qingyang is not stupid, she can reach out her hand to someone she trusts, and she doesn't care about her at all, she can be counted with a slap in the capital: "Let's check first, as long as you have done something, you can count on it." There will be traces."
Yuchen got the news that Princess Qingyang was looking for the person behind the murder of the eighth girl of the Cai family, and immediately said blankly: "Don't hide it, let Princess Qingyang know that I ordered the eighth girl of the Cai family to be killed.
"How many evildoers like this exist, how many do she get rid of.
Nanny Gui was a little hesitant, and asked, "Ma'am, is it wrong to do this!" If Princess Qingyang publicized this matter, it would be bad for Yu Yuchen's reputation!
Yuchen chuckled lightly and said, "Princess Qingyang is not that brainless Heshou. Even if she knew about this, she would not publicize it." Because even if it was publicized, no one would believe it. She respects the princess in a dignified manner, how could she kill a merchant's daughter whom she has never met.
Nanny Gui felt that Yuchen's state was wrong, and said, "Your Majesty, didn't we get the news that the Crown Princess wanted to win over the Princess Heshou? If the County Lord Heshou took refuge in the Crown Princess, it would be difficult for us to attack Heshou again." gone."
Yuchen smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about that, Heshou has no bargaining chips in his hands." Otherwise, Heshou wouldn't have worked so hard to control Miss Cai's family. This proves that He Shou has nothing to do, so he wants to find foreign aid.
Nanny Gui doesn't know what to say now.
Looking at the jade flute in his hand, Yuchen said suddenly: "It would be great if the fourth sister was here. It's boring to play the flute and the piano alone." There are many maids and maids around, but these people don't know how to appreciate it. When you ask them, they will only say nice things, but you don't even know what she is blowing.
Nanny Gui said: "The fourth girl is now a household name in Yucheng and Xinping City." Everyone in the capital knows what Yuxi should know about Yuxi's fundraising for the children in the nursery.
After hearing this, Yuchen smiled and said, "She is the only one who has a kind heart and has taken in so many orphans. If it were anyone else, who would bother to take care of this matter." There are more than five hundred children, not five child. If it were her, she wouldn't take the initiative to do such troublesome things.
Nanny Gui didn't say anything more, and she couldn't say that the fourth girl took in those orphans in order to buy people's hearts. Because even if it is really to buy people's hearts, not everyone can do it.
Within three days, Princess Qingyang knew that it was Yuchen who ordered the eighth girl of the Cai family to be killed. The nurse next to Princess Qingyang was puzzled and asked, "Why did Princess Jing do this?"
Princess Qingyang smiled bitterly and said: "Why did you do this? Have you forgotten what Heshou did to the Han family? We forgot, but Princess Jing did not, and I believe that Han Yuxi who is far away in the northwest did not forget either." Thousands of miles away, I don't worry about revenge, but Han Yuchen is not easy to provoke. This woman, don't look like a fairy, her methods are also first-class.
The nanny showed fear on her face: "Princess, what do you mean, Princess Jing is taking revenge?" King Jing is deeply trusted by the prince, and King Jing loves this wife very much. If Concubine Jing really wanted to take revenge, their princesses would really be at a disadvantage.
Princess Qingyang said: "What is supposed to come will always come, and there is no escape. Don't tell Heshou about this for now." I don't know whether Princess Jing will deal with them or Heshou next.
Thinking of this, Princess Qingyang felt powerless. The daughter was too self-righteous back then, and turned such a good situation into what it is today.
Princess Qingyang's idea is good, but it depends on whether Yuchen agrees or not! The crown prince and King Jing are siblings and they are close, so the two mansions naturally move around a lot.
Yuchen was playing the piano when a woman came in and whispered something into Nanny Gui's ear, and then retreated.
Nanny Gui waited for Yuchen to finish playing a song before she stepped forward and said, "Princess, the princess is born. She is a little prince. Both mother and child are safe." The news from the East Palace said that this child was a daughter, but now that I think about it, it should be a baby girl. The Crown Princess deliberately let out the rumors, in order to better protect the pregnancy.
After hearing this, Yuchen's eyes darkened when he thought of his second son who had no chance to come to this world. But she quickly calmed down, stood up and said: "Send someone to tell the female officer in the Eastern Palace that I will visit the Crown Princess tomorrow!" The Crown Princess must have fallen asleep by now, and there will be no one to be seen when she goes there.
Early the next day, Yuchen took a group of people to the East Palace to visit the Crown Princess. Looking at the pretty concubine, Yuchen said with a smile: "Yesterday, I got the news that my sister-in-law was born, and I was shocked. The imperial doctor said that the baby would be born at the end of the month."
The princess looked at the baby in the swaddle, and said with a smile: "This kid is impatient, he can't wait to come out, there is nothing he can do about it."
After talking for a long time, Yuchen saw the tiredness on the princess's face, got up and said: "Sister-in-law, I want to see Qiao Liangdi, I wonder if it's possible?" To see Heshou, the princess must agree.
The crown princess smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, Nanny Jin, you should bring Princess Jing to see Heshou!" Yuchen's finding Heshou would definitely not be a good thing. She also knew what she did with Shou back then.
When Heshou saw Yuchen, he was very surprised: "What are you here for?" Yuchen would come to the East Palace for banquets, and the two often met. It's just a regular wife and a concubine, plus He Shou's deliberate avoidance, the two actually don't have much intersection.
Nanny Jin tactfully led the maidservant back into the yard. I also know that it is definitely not a good thing for Princess Jing to come to see Lord Heshou.
Yuchen said with a smile: "I came here to see if you are doing well, and I will tell you one more thing by the way. I think you will be very interested in this matter."
He Shou looked at Yuchen warily and asked, "I'm not interested, please leave." He instinctively felt that the woman in front of him was very dangerous.
Yuchen was not angry either, and still said with a smile on his face: "Did the princess tell you how the eighth girl of the Cai family died? I guess, the princess must have not told you." If he told Heshou, then Heshou would not be like this when he saw her. calm.
He Shou is not stupid, he immediately heard the hidden meaning in these words. Fire burst into his eyes, and he said, "It was you, you were the one who killed the eighth girl of the Cai family, right? Why did you do this?"
Yuchen felt that he heard a very funny thing: "Why should I do this? Don't you know? Or, you have long forgotten what happened a few years ago? If this is the case, then your memory is really good. Oh no."
When He Shou heard it, how could he not know what Yuchen was talking about. (to be continued)
