In her previous life, she followed Cheng Dingan and learned a lot of things. Thanks to Cheng Dingan's new wife, the new wife often went to serve the new emperor's concubine, and the accounts naturally had to go through her, the wife at that time. So she had the right to see many things.
I heard that these are all good things that are in the heart of the new concubine.
At the beginning, in order to avoid being implicated by the thunderclouds, Tang Youlong took out a few things to please her, and she saw several familiar things at once.
That's all.
The important thing is that these things suddenly reminded her of a more important point - some time ago, she had a conflict with Xu Huixian in a restaurant, and she saw with her own eyes that Xu Huixian wore a piece of jewelry - it was a double-strand hairpin with cloisonné and sapphire. The sapphire double-strand hairpin was luxurious and dazzling, and extremely eye-catching.
She once saw Cheng Ding'an playing with his new favorite repeatedly, and mentioned the origin of this double-strand hairpin in a very longing tone.
"This is the sapphire that the prince brought back from his voyage to the West. It is unique in the world and in short supply. You will never find a sapphire of this quality again!"
Cheng Dingan's new favorite came to her with some things to claim the money, and her tone was full of superiority: "It's the dowry of the former Queen Li - I heard it was given by the late emperor himself. Now the imperial concubine likes the items of the previous dynasty very much..."
It was then that she suddenly grasped the clue that had been elusive to her.
Yes, the Xu family is a civil official, the real leader of the civil officials except for Yang Bo. Why do they have to target Xiao Heng? Why do they have to wade into this muddy water
The emperor takes turns, but no matter who is the emperor, officials like them are indispensable.
Why did they have to take the risk to support King Zhuang
Unless there are other interests involved.
In addition to the transfer of monetary benefits, there must also be some more stable connection.
After making a connection between the past and the present, Su Yao suddenly thought of Qi Yunxi again.
Qi Yunxi has connections with both the Xu family and King Zhuang.
Coincidentally, the bond between Qi Yunxi and the Xu family is Qi Yunxi's niece who married into the Xu family.
Then, isn't it obvious when comparing the two that the concubine of Prince Zhuang was from the Xu family and had rebel blood
She rubbed her brows, and seeing that Su Rong's expression had become very solemn, she cheered up and said softly, "Brother, although my guess is a little too incredible, I think that the more impossible it is, the more likely it is. Otherwise, how do you explain why Grandma Xu was so excited about the jewelry from the previous dynasty?"
According to her memories of her previous life, she specifically asked Tang Youlong to pick out a few items. Those things had one thing in common - according to the preferences of the imperial concubine in her previous life, she picked out things that had something to do with Queen Li.
The direction was so obvious, yet Grandma Xu accepted it all.
This made her more certain of her thoughts.
Su Rong frowned in thought and hummed. He obviously didn't think Su Yao's guess was outrageous. He let out a deep breath and said, "Yes, although the guess is a bit bizarre, it also explains a lot of things. For example, why would the Xu family target us, why could they unscrupulously kill Prince Fenyang and throw in a scapegoat to get away with it..."
He hinted at excitement again.
If what Su Yao guessed was true, then Qi Yunxi was the most critical person in this plan.
"But these are just our guesses after all." Su Rong calmed down and curled his lips coldly: "If it is really as we guessed, then this is a huge monster!"
A behemoth targeting the former empress, the former crown prince, and even Emperor Yuanfeng.
Even the second prime minister of the dynasty followed suit and became accomplices, which shows how complicated the interest network behind it is.
The scariest thing is that this network has existed for more than a decade, or possibly even longer.
Su Yao knew Su Rong's worry, so she hummed and lowered her voice: "Yes, he is a very scary opponent." After she finished speaking, she saw Su Rong also looking at her. The two looked at each other for a while. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh, and she really burst out laughing.
Su Rong looked at her helplessly, stretched out his hand and knocked a chestnut on her head: "You are so heartless, if it is really as we guessed, you can still laugh!"
But even though he said this, he also laughed: "But what's there to be afraid of? It's better to know who the enemy is than to be blind!"
So what if he is the second assistant
As long as they are alive, as long as they are still alive, they will not be afraid of anyone.
The stiff and dull atmosphere was broken. Su Yao watched his elder brother making tea and sighed slowly.
Su Rong looked at her when he heard this and said, "This is really crazy. She was laughing just now, and now she is sighing. Sometimes she is feeling better, and sometimes she is feeling worse."
After a pause, without waiting for Su Yao to say anything, he asked softly, "Is it because of Master Li Xiaojue's visit to get the upper hand?"
Su Yao glanced at him and did not deny it.
Su Rong saw that he was right and sneered, "Her Highness the Princess has been on a pedestal for too long and thinks that everyone in the world is under her control. Young Master Li and I were transferred to Yunnan this time. The difference is that I am a lieutenant general, while Young Master Li is a military supervisor, working with Chen Chunliang, the godson of Eunuch Chen."
The Zhou Dynasty valued civil officials over military officials, and it was common for a third-rank military officer to bow and nod to a seventh-rank civil official.
The position of military supervisor could be given to Master Li Xiaojue, which shows how highly regarded Master Li Xiaojue is.
Because of this, Princess Mingchang had the confidence to ask Su Yao to become the daughter-in-law of the third wife, who had nothing but an empty shell.
After all, Su Rong was on the battlefield in Yunnan and had to consider the mood of this young Lord Li at all times.
This can also be regarded as Princess Mingchang's revenge for Mrs. He coming to the palace to complain.
So what if you, Madam He, can make Su Yao a county lady? I can still bring this county lady to my own home.
No matter how noble a county lady is, once she becomes the granddaughter-in-law of the princess, she will be much inferior to her in terms of status and seniority.
Even Mrs. He would have to bow her head in order to make Su Yao's life easier in her husband's family.
This is such a disgustingly good idea.
But Princess Mingchang acted with a clear conscience - Young Master Li now holds Su Rong's future and life in his hands.
Su Rong's face didn't look good. He touched his chin and then said, "I know you have to figure out Qi Yunxi's matter yourself. Besides, you haven't figured out the matter about Juhai Manor yet. Leave it to me."
His future will only be in his own hands, and he will never let others use it to threaten his relatives.
Since Young Master Li wanted to get married so much, he would just help him.
