After seeing Mrs. Liu off, Liu Ruoyu returned to the dormitory and asked lazily: "Where is Ju Zhong?"
The palace man leaned forward and said, "Eunuch Ju came here just now. Hearing that the empress was talking to Mrs. Liu, he left first."
"Go and ask him to come over." Liu Ruoyu held her chin and ordered.
After a while, Ju Zhong came in to salute, and Liu Ruoyu didn't send her personal attendant down. Yanran asked, "How about the thing I asked you to do?"
"Your Majesty, Master Wei Liu said that your Majesty has caused a huge trouble for him, and he doesn't want to see this slave again." Ju Zhong lowered his eyebrows, but relayed it word for word, "Master Wei Liu said that from now on he will never I won’t write to my wife anymore.”
"Even if he wants to write, I won't accept it." Liu Ruoyu said with a smile, "My mother is just waiting to scratch my painful feet to deal with me! But does he really not care about me?"
Ju Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "This slave didn't see Master Wei Liu at all. It was Hu Nu, the young servant next to Master Wei Liu, who came out with a sullen face and told the slave a few words. Before the slave could say anything, Hu Nu waved and called. The slaves were sent out."
"Hey, why is this person so stingy?" After hearing this, Liu Ruoyu still pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "If I am not in a desperate situation, why should I involve him in self-destruction? Besides, I don't really have an affair with him, that is, I just borrowed a concubine to scare my mother so she wouldn't dare to attack me. No one knows about this now. After all, I am also the princess of the dynasty, so I took the initiative to tell my mother that I thought about him day and night... It would have been better for someone other than Piaoran. I'm secretly happy. Why is this person so heartless? It's not like he can't handle this."
Of course, Ju Zhong and his close friends in the palace knew that Liu Ruoyu and Wei Xinyong had never met officially... Originally, Wei Xinyong wanted to know what was going on in the palace, and Liu Ruoyu wanted to know what was going on outside the palace, so they hit it off and worked together through Ju Zhong. Come together to exchange news. Although the two cooperate, there is no relationship between them. They just get what they need.
As a result, Liu Ruoyu was forced to commit suicide by Empress Gu this time. In desperation, she couldn't think of anyone else who could take advantage of the situation, so she simply pushed Wei Xinyong out as an adulterer, which made Empress Gu angry to death. The empress sent The killer who went there was even warned by Wei Xinyong in turn - thanks to the two confidants who were prepared when they went there, there was no reason for Wei Xinyong to attack, but since Wei Xinyong threw the body away When he arrived at the back door of Gu's house, it was obvious that he knew about it.
This further proves that Liu Ruoyu had an affair with him... Although even Empress Gu could not find out when the two started hooking up and how many times they had met - after Liu Ruoyu entered the palace, Empress Gu was sure that she did not meet Wei Xin in person Yong has seen it. But everyone knew that Wei Xinyong was born and raised in the imperial capital. Before he was adopted to Ruiyu Hall, he didn't attract anyone's attention at all. At that time, no one paid attention to Liu Ruoyu
Maybe the two of them hooked up long before Wei Xinyong went to Chaoyun County and Liu Ruoyu was hired as the crown princess
The Crown Prince Shen Xun has such an unsatisfactory character. Empress Gu knew very well that if Shen Xun knew that the Crown Princess dared to wear such a cuckold on her and told him the truth eight hundred times, he would not pay attention to it! The prince will definitely kill the princess with a knife immediately, and then kill Wei Xinyong!
... But even if the Crown Princess said personally that she had an affair with Wei Xinyong, it was only in front of the Queen and Anshi. With the fourth person around, Liu Ruoyu immediately behaved like a virtuous, kind, gentle, noble, chaste and inviolable person!
Even if she is the Queen, she talks empty-handedly about the Crown Princess being unfaithful... Even Zhang Shaoguang and her daughter have to speak for Liu Ruoyu!
And the Wei family would definitely not admit that Wei Xinyong had an affair with the Crown Princess. Let alone a famous family like Fan Yue, the common people would have to fight to save their face! There is no proof or proof. Liu Ruoyu has been very filial to Queen Gu since she married into the royal family. The queen had repeatedly praised her virtues in public before - but the prince's reputation was not really good.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence, even if Liu Ruoyu personally admitted in front of the queen that she had an affair with Wei Xinyong, the queen could only endure it. Not only could she tolerate it, but she would also help her hide it from the prince.
Otherwise, if the matter is revealed, the Liu family and the Wei family will definitely seek justice for Liu Ruoyu and Wei Xinyong. The key is that both the government and the public may think that the prince is tired of the princess and deliberately framed her... And Queen Gu, of course, is protecting her son...
Who gave the prince such a bad reputation, especially his reputation for loving the new and hating the old
Besides, if the dignified Crown Princess Hongxing cheats on her, even if the Crown Prince kills the Crown Princess, he will lose all his face.
Queen Gu knew the Sheng very well, and the Sheng himself was very lustful. She might not be really angry about the Crown Prince's seizure of Wei Changjuan. Even if she was, it would be because Wei Changjuan's identity would be very troublesome, rather than because she thought the Crown Prince was going too far. Disdainful. But if the Crown Princess goes out of the wall, and the Crown Prince doesn’t know until now, the Holy Emperor will definitely think that the Crown Prince is not capable enough!
As a prince, if his father considers him to be incompetent, what else will happen? The Holy One has no shortage of sons!
Liu Ruoyu thought for a moment and felt that even though Empress Gu hated her to the core and wished she had been killed early, she would only do it secretly for the sake of her own son and would not dare to do it openly.
Is this secret... The corners of Liu Ruoyu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer: She was not stupid to escape from You Laihe! What's more, Empress Gu had no evidence of her affair with Wei Xinyong. Wei Xinyong had evidence that the prince had seized Wei Changjuan, causing Wei Changjuan to die of humiliation and hatred in her youth...
However, even though Wei Xinyong got through the test last time, he was lucky enough to survive. Liu Ruoyu also knew that Wei Xinyong's cover was not that easy to use - this person was not a sympathetic master. Liu Ruoyu had made an agreement with him not to do anything about the other party except for exchanging information.
Regarding Wei Changjuan, Wei Xinyong made a gesture of goodwill. Not wanting Liu Ruoyu to miscalculate Queen Gu, she dragged him into the water by force. Wei Xinyong now refuses to see Ju Zhong and makes Hu Nu come forward to get angry. This may not necessarily be because he is really so angry. In all likelihood, it is to remind Liu Ruoyu how to compensate herself.
Fortunately, although Wei Xinyong was born in a wealthy family with both talent and beauty, the compensation he wanted was very ordinary: money.
It doesn't matter if you don't have silver, Wei Xinyong is not very picky... gold and pearls are all fine.
Liu Ruoyu married into the East Palace anyway, and the dowry given to her by the Liu family was based on the example of the former Crown Princess Duanmu Weimiao. After all, Duanmu Weimiao is also the daughter of Wen Yue. The Liu family's family status is not inferior to that of the Duanmu family. Liu Ruoyu is also the prince's first wife. Of course, the Liu family cannot let her lose face.
Speaking of which, it was also thanks to Duanmu Weimiao, the former eldest daughter of the Duanmu family, who won the favor of her grandmother. When she came out of the cabinet, her grandmother followed the example of the first princess of this dynasty, Liu Shi, and added many more to her. . So when it was Liu Ruoyu's turn to become the third crown princess of the dynasty, the Liu family deliberately followed Duanmu Weimiao's example and added some more in order to express the same tone as before - Liu Ruoyu did not lack the money to bribe Wei Xinyong, otherwise Wei Xinyong She wouldn't be so enthusiastic about telling her about Wei Changjuan.
The problem is the whereabouts of a large sum of money. It is not easy to hide it from the queen. It is a trick in the eyes of interested people...
When Liu Ruoyu was thinking about how to win over Wei Xinyong again, Wei Xinyong was also discussing the ending of Wei Changjuan's matter with Song Zaishui: "Empress Gu is too afraid of the governor, so it seems that she will use her hand to eradicate Zhang Shaoguang's mother. But women can’t.”
"I have already said that the current Crown Princess was personally selected by Empress Gu. How could she shoot herself in the foot and demolish Taiwei Liu Sihuai's position?" Song Zaishui said with a slight frown.
Song Zaishui knew very well about Empress Gu and her son - how could she have spent several years dreaming of breaking off her engagement with Prince Shen Xun
She also liked the personalities of Empress Gu and Prince Shen Xun, and the former princess-to-be had already known them by heart. Because Wei Changjuan's incident was too big and sudden, Song Zaishui hurriedly followed Wei Xinyong's plan. Afterwards, I thought it was wrong and when I mentioned it to Wei Xinyong again, Wei Xinyong planned to wait and see for a few days before making a decision.
As a result, after waiting and watching, what was waiting was the killer sent by Queen Gu!
If Wei Xinyong hadn't trained the remnant bandits brought from Fengqi Mountain when he was sent to Chaoyun County, and there were actually a few useful people around him, he might have died in such a muddle. Now he is still carrying the identity of the crown prince's adulterer...
At this moment, his face looked very ugly: "I thought that the prince's children were prosperous, and Liu Hai's room was nothing. No matter how ambitious Liu Ruowo was, he was still young. After Queen Gu got the truth about this matter, she could hold Liu Sihuai hostage... This time it was my fault.”
"How could the Taiwei allow such a trivial matter to be held hostage?" Song Zaishui said disapprovingly, "Not to mention that Queen Gu did not dare to fall out with the Liu family. After all, once she fell out with the Liu family, it would not be of any benefit to the queen, but she would lose everything. He said that Queen Gu couldn't stand it for the prince, so she really had a fight with the Liu family. Liu Sihuai simply killed Zhang Shaoguang and Liu Ruoye first, and then there would be no evidence - even if you have Wei Changjuan's 'Suicide note', the person who created the figurine is dead anyway, and the Liu family refuses to acknowledge it, so how can there be any capable officials to decide what is right and what is wrong? "
Wei Xinyong rubbed his forehead and said tiredly: "The Liu family is not very concerned about Queen Gu and her son. Otherwise, the crown princess should not be Liu Ruoyu, who is not valued by the family, but Liu Ruoyu, who is deeply loved by her parents. Yeah. Queen Gu also knows this. If it were me, I would definitely seize this opportunity to make the Liu family more obedient. The queen and the prince can't just win over one Liu family, for example. The Liu family was also involved in the assassination of Ying and Changfeng outside Fengzhou City. Your father was Chang Ying and Changfeng's direct uncle, and the Shen family was Chang Ying's husband. Changfeng's fiancée was from the Su-Liu family in Qingzhou. If you are disobedient, take this opportunity to invite Wei, Song, Shen, and Su to deal with them, don’t worry if they don’t bow their heads!”
Song Zaishui shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. Empress Gu is the daughter of a noble family, and she has always been wary of the emperor. But it's not just her, the emperor is the same, isn't it? And the prince is so ugly, if the emperor is not old, he will Based on his previous nonsense, it's hard to say whether he can secure the position of prince. Besides, it's not that easy to invite him. Chang Ying is very popular with my aunt, but you also know that for a family like ours, The elders' love for the younger generation and the elders' plans for the family are completely different things. Besides, our family's treatment of the prince..."
Having said this, Song Zaishui frowned and said, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Wei Xinyong showed no shame and said with a smile: "I think so. The prince has not yet ascended the throne, and he treats the Wei family's legitimate daughter like a street beauty. When he succeeds to the throne, the six clans in the country will not How can you tolerate it if you know that he is going to mess with you? Before, it was just private manipulation, but now it seems that the six factions are going to join forces?"
Song Zaishui looked at him for a moment and said coldly: "You said that again now? What did you say before that my uncle is still not fully recovered and the Wei family should be quiet and not move, so you tricked me into following your plan. Everything...is it just to force the six valves to join forces?"
"If this matter breaks out, the Wei family will be disgraced. The Wei family will take the lead to argue with the emperor. The other five clans, such as the Liu family, may get an advantage and try to trick the Wei family." Wei Xinyong said sarcastically, "What's this? Why is it necessary? If the six families take action together, it will avoid the nightmare. Besides, since the Liu family is responsible for the incident, it should be the Liu family who should atone for it! "
"You are a good heir who considers the Wei family wholeheartedly!" Song Zai said with a smile, "Chang Ying has always told me that you are cunning. I told you that you should have some credibility. It turns out that Chang Ying is more accurate than me. !”
Wei Xinyong smiled faintly: "Miss Song, why are you like this? In fact, it will be good for you if I ask you for help these days. If you don't believe it, look at the young master at the corner outside. If you hadn't asked your brother to accompany you these few times, Discussing matters with me, this person doesn’t know how long he will be hiding, right?” (To be continued)
