Mrs. He went into the palace!
When King Zhuang heard the news, he came down the stairs and unconsciously tightened the book in his hand. After a moment, he asked coldly, "Are you serious?"
Zhan Changshi repeated Cheng Dingan's words: "Your Highness, it's true. Madam He must have no other options. This is such a big case. If He Er takes the blame alone, how can he get away with it? As for the old lady, her husband died, and now the only ones left are her two sons and two daughters. She lost her husband in middle age, can she bear the pain of losing her children in old age? She has to take the last step."
Just as Cheng Dingan analyzed, Mrs. He only had one option left.
Prince Zhuang laughed suddenly: "So, when the imperial concubine hears the news, she must be very panicked, right? The situation in the palace..."
Thinking of this, King Zhuang frowned unconsciously again.
Concubine Pang is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace and has accompanied the emperor for many years, so the power to manage the harem is in her hands. Except for the position of principal concubine, she has everything, but she just does not have that status in name.
It is also because of this that King Zhuang has no connections in the palace at all, because that woman is too powerful.
His face darkened, and Zhan Changshi immediately understood and whispered, "Your Highness, don't worry. Fortunes and disasters go hand in hand. Holding the power of the six palaces is a good thing, but sometimes it is also a bad thing. Our imperial concubine has been used to calling the shots in the harem for so many years. Only in this way can she be conceited enough!"
Yes, only in this way can Concubine Pang feel that she can do whatever she wants, right
Thinking of this, Prince Zhuang turned to ask Chief Clerk Zhan, "Has Cheng Ding'an finished his work? Will Shao Wenxun really go to the Dali Temple to keep an eye on this? There can't be any more mistakes in this matter."
"Shao Wenxun is a man who hates evil as much as he hates evil. He has already set his sights on the matter of the Textile Bureau and will not give up easily. Cheng Dingan grasps this point and gives him a little information, and he will go to investigate. By then, Madam He will die tragically in the palace, and Mr. He will be forced to 'commit suicide out of fear of crime' outside the palace. With the emperor's affection for Madam He and Shao Wenxun's weight, the Pang family will never be able to escape!"
There was a subtle hint of pride on King Zhuang's face.
So much so that when he returned to the palace, he was still in a very good mood.
When Princess Qin of Zhuang saw him come out from behind the screen in casual clothes with a smile on his face, she looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Is there any great joy that makes you so happy?"
She was sitting in front of the dressing table removing her makeup. Even though the powder on her face had been washed off, her face was still powdery. It was obvious that she was living a very happy life. King Zhuang walked over, stretched out his hands and pinched her face affectionately, then held her shoulders with both hands and looked at her in the mirror and smiled: "I'm back to see you, and my mood is naturally better."
The maids around laughed quietly. Princess Zhuang was suddenly a little embarrassed and happy. She glared at the maids. When she saw that they all smiled and retreated, she turned her head and looked at Prince Zhuang with a reproachful look: "My Lord! What are you saying in front of the servants?"
Prince Zhuang was in a good mood, and he was not stingy with his good words: "What's the matter? I like our princess, and I feel happy when I see her. This is not something that cannot be said. Can't I say it?"
Qin was even happier, but when she thought of a recent incident, she couldn't help but snorted softly, "I'm afraid that the prince said it nicely, but he doesn't think so in his heart. When he has a new person, I don't know how he will look at me, the old one."
King Zhuang held her in his arms and sneered, "What do you mean by new or old? You little jealous bastard, are you still jealous?"
"It's not that I'm jealous. Mother has always been worried that we don't have enough people in our house and can't serve you well. I also know that it's only a matter of time before this concubine comes to marry in. But... it's fine if it's someone else..." Princess Zhuang sighed, and a look of unspeakable jealousy suddenly appeared on her face: "It's just that Miss Su, I have seen her with my own eyes, she is really pretty. When such a beauty comes to marry in, whether the prince can still treat me like he does today is uncertain."
Prince Zhuang didn't care at all. He played with Princess Zhuang's hair and sniffed it gently: "I was wondering why you were so jealous. It turns out it was because of this. If it was because of this, then you don't have to worry. It turns out that the girl from the Su family you saw has now been kicked out of the Su family."
What
Princess Zhuang opened her mouth, a little surprised: "Kicked out of the house?"
This is really incomprehensible. What kind of mistake did a good daughter make to be kicked out of the house
Seeing that Princess Zhuang was so surprised, Prince Zhuang scratched her nose and told her Su Ruyi's life story in a friendly manner. At the end, he said nonchalantly, "If this thing succeeds, the Su family may not be able to escape unscathed. Cheng Ding'an is eyeing the Su family's piece of meat. If the Su family is really so lucky, and the emperor still cares about the original friendship and leaves the Su family a way out, then it will not be bad for me. If I can't suppress them, then I will win them over. Master Su San is not as stubborn as Old Lady Su and the prince."
Princess Zhuang seemed to be thinking about something. "It's a pity. Su Ruyi is known as the Pearl of Shengjing. After so many years of training, they are willing to give up on her. The Su family is really willing to give up. After all, if it's like what you said, your biological daughter was taken back from a merchant's family. A country girl can never surpass the one who has been trained for more than ten years."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Prince Zhuang with a half-smile: "If the emperor really spared the Su family for the sake of the prince of Yongding, and you want to win over the Su family, then wouldn't you have to wrong yourself and settle for a merchant girl?"
Having said that, Princess Zhuang felt relieved unconsciously.
You can tell at first glance that Su Ruyi is ambitious, but she does have a deceptive face. Even though King Zhuang is talking so nicely now, there is a saying that goes, men's mouths are lies, so how can you trust what they say
They only love young and beautiful girls all their lives.
No matter who she changes to, no one will be better than Su Ruyi, so she can rest assured.
Before she gave birth to a legitimate son, she could not tolerate even the slightest hidden danger.
Although Prince Zhuang was so disdainful of the country girl from the Su family who came back halfway, she couldn't really ignore her. No one knew Prince Zhuang better than her. Even if she was just a vulgar merchant girl, as long as the emperor still favored the Su family, Prince Zhuang would bring her back and pamper her.
Just like what's happening to her now.
