It has been a while since Zhao Taozhuang disappeared from Chang'an's sight.
There was a lot of discussion at the beginning, because she was not the kind of sickly young lady. She had always been in good health and was always active in various situations in Chang'an.
He suddenly fell ill and was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to rest. However, no exact name of the disease was revealed from beginning to end. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that there must be an affair.
But those two years were very eventful in Chang'an, and the temples were turbulent. It was too late for each family to find a future, otherwise the coal manager would not be able to take care of their family's housework.
She didn't show up for a long time and was naturally forgotten.
At that time, Cha Dong came from the Black Clothes Camp, and Zhao Taozhuang said she was going to Zhuangzi to recuperate. But everyone who was close to the Zhao family knew it, otherwise Mrs. Qin would have separated her granddaughter and Rong Qingxui.
After Mrs. Qin sent people to Zhuangzi, she was tripped up by the major events in the harem. When she came back to her senses, Rong Qingzui, who was kicked out of the house by the Zhao family, actually tried every means to Contact Zhao Taozhuang now!
Not only did he get in touch, he even tempted Zhao Taozhuang to elope with him!
"He actually has such great ability?" Rong Suihe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "It's just Zhao Taozhuang who is confused. Mrs. Qin has to live in the village where she is placed without anyone else around. Come on, you can leave if you want? I remember that when Rong Qingzui was kicked out by the Zhao Mansion, he didn’t bring any belongings with him, and was he notoriously unpopular with the royal family?”
Xu Lianshan said: "Of course the princes and nobles are aware of Rong Qingzui's status in the palace, but people a little further east are not so clear about it. Is Rong Qingzui treacherous? He is telling people outside that, in fact, He is the most valued heir in the palace!"
"The reason why I grew up in a foreign family was that I was kicked out of the house by the Zhao family at that time, and they didn't give me any money. Is it because the palace was afraid that it would not be able to resist the Meng family, and after being ruined and ruined, it would have no descendants?"
"That's why I chose him as the hidden heir besides the prince who is in the public eye!"
"Otherwise, if the palace really doesn't pay attention to him, why would the Zhao family support him with all kinds of fine clothes and fine food?"
"Not to mention that after the incident in Bishui County, he was taken all the way back to Chang'an for treatment?"
"So if the Wangfu and the Zhao family reject him, they shouldn't show it to the Meng family!"
"Although those words are full of flaws, it can't be said that there are not many smart people in the world. After all, there are people who are lucky enough to take refuge in him when he is in trouble. In the future, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven... He has won over some people."
"And Miss Zhao Er was wrong that he was absolutely determined. Mrs. Qin had no time to be distracted at that time, so she gave them a chance!"
Rong Suihe said: "Although Mrs. Qin is not the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Taozhuang's biological parents are still here, right?"
"Mrs. Qin, because Mr. Zhao Er and Mrs. Ji have always doted on their daughter, she was worried that Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Ji would do something cruel if they got involved, so did she personally arrange for Miss Zhao Er?" Xu Lianshan said. , "So when the old lady went to the court, the steward at Zhuangzi was bribed, which gave Miss Zhao the opportunity to elope with Rong Qingzui."
When he said this, a hint of contempt appeared on his face, and he said, "Then Miss Zhao Er... Zhudong really doesn't know how to admire her infatuation. He doesn't despise her because she is obviously of noble birth, but she does not seek to be humble. Did something disgraceful happen? When Rong Qing was drunk and in good health, she was nothing more than an embroidered straw bag. After she came back from Bishui County, she was not at all disgraceful. Ordinary people, even those who pamper their daughters should not do it. But I agreed to give it to him. Unfortunately, Miss Zhao Er gave her a good confinement, and he would give it up unless she asked for the wrong thing."
Not surprised that Rong Suihe made this mistake, he said calmly: "He is very good at coaxing girls."
When he was only ten years old, he coaxed the four-year-old Princess Hui into becoming an accomplice in murdering his brothers, right
"The girl he coaxed won't have anything good to do." Xu Lianshan felt a little lucky. He was a pirate, and on Tortoiseshell Island, he was used to seeing slutty women for various reasons. In his spare time, Nowadays, he is not averse to having a romantic relationship with such a woman.
However, maybe because he has been used to seeing women in the world since he was a child, the opposite sex that Xu Lianshan really respects in his heart is not to mention the chaste and fierce woman who has to be praised by everyone, at least she is dignified, reserved and self-respecting.
In particular, Zhao Taozhuang was born into a noble family. Although her family had some calculations about her marriage, they did not care about the family's future. She was the kind of person who wanted her to live and die, and there was no need to fall to the point of running away with someone.
But she didn't do that.
Xu Lianshan was very dissatisfied and said at this moment, "Rong Qingzui took Miss Zhao Er to hide here and there for a while. Later, because the Zhao family did not dare to search in a big way, they got a substitute to stay with Zhuangzi, and he was nicknamed Zhao by mistake. The second young lady has been recuperating there. I searched for them a few times but couldn't find them. They were involved in this and that matter, so the Zhao family didn't care about it. "
"At that time, Miss Zhao Er was not in good shape: Rong Qingzui was summoned by King Gaomi, and he didn't know what King Gaomi meant after that. Otherwise, he felt that with Gao Zhi, there was no need for Miss Zhao Er. In short, it was Or abandon Miss Zhao Er!"
"How is Zhao Taozhuang doing?" Rong Suihe nodded and asked.
Xu Lianshan muttered: "You are the kind of young lady who will run away with someone when your brain gets hot. What can you do if something like that happens except to seek death? But she didn't die. Instead, she called for someone to save Donglai!"
He seemed to have thought of something, and said with a strange expression, "That's wrong, Prince, do you know who is the person who saved the Second Miss Dong Zhao?"
"Meng Guiyu, right?" Although Rong Suihe had a questioning tone, his expression was very determined.
Xu Lianshan was also surprised: "How did the county prince know? Has anyone else reported it?"
"Since the Zhao family didn't find them, they may not be able to save Donglai in time." Rong Suihe said nonchalantly, "If an unrelated person happened to pass by to save Donglai, I wouldn't necessarily ask Rong Guchai to save her. ! I’m asking Gu to guess, obviously that person is someone I know, and he’s not a normal person, so I don’t think it’s possible to save Dong Zhao Taozhuang.”
"When people from the Meng family encounter something like that, they will definitely publicize it and take the opportunity to suppress the Gaomi King's faction."
"As for the people on King Gaomi's side, they will definitely notify the Zhao Mansion immediately after rescuing Dong Dong. So, if we calculate the time, is it possible that she is 'critically ill' now, or she should have died suddenly long ago."
"If someone like Xu Shishu is neutral, then he won't get into such trouble at all!"
He smiled slightly, "Although Meng Guiyu is not a descendant of the Meng family, he has been at odds with the Meng family for a long time. At that time, he was trying every means to recommend Rong Qingzui to the East Palace. According to that person's temperament, whether he can be recommended A person he cannot fully understand and control becomes the prince."
"So he must have known Rong Qingzui for a long time."
"Then of course we will know about Zhao Taozhuang."
"If you can't help but use Zhao Taozhuang as a hindrance or something to save Dong Lai?"
Xu Lianshan said with admiration: "Is the county prince really so bright-eyed? Isn't that just like that?"
He added, "Isn't there a war in Chang'an later? Miss Zhao Er couldn't hide, so the Zhao family found her trace, and then they took her back."
Rong Suihe pondered for a while and said: "I will go to the Zhao Mansion and ask them about Zhao Taozhuang. Do they need revenge?"
Xu Lianshan said happily: "Prince, have you finally decided to cheat on Rong Qingzui?! If so, why do you need the Zhao family's help in that matter?"
"Don't ask them for help." "Rong Suihe shook his head and said, "It's just a favor to sell them to save face. After all, his uncle has just been disbanded from the Northern Xinjiang Army. It's hard for people to just cross the river and burn the bridge. "
Xu Lianshan said: "The prince wants to sell the Zhao family's face? Does it mean that even though Rong Qingzui is heartbroken, Miss Zhao's action of running away with him is not inappropriate? Even if that paragraph is erased, it will always be about the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family." Doesn’t it sound good after all that you were taken advantage of?”
By then, the Zhao family will be talked about a lot. Isn't that just selling face, but making enemies
Just when Xu Lianshan was secretly speculating whether Rong Suihe's so-called "selling face" meant that he wanted to cause trouble for the Zhao family, Rong Suihe muttered: "Where did I think about it? Mr. Leyang kept repeating it. Having said that, if we already have the overall situation under control, there is no need to rush for quick success! For what reason, how could Rong Qingzui die in our lap? "
He looked at Xu Lianshan and said calmly, "The Queen was tired of the tragic deaths of five generals from the Wuyi Battalion... She has been quietly trying to deliver a letter to Kang Zhao recently. It seems that she is very free?"
Xu Lianshan was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and asked, "Does the prince mean to let the queen plan to eradicate Rong Qingzui? But since the queen has already colluded with Meng Guiyu, how could she do such a thing? ? Even if she knew that seeking refuge with you was the only way out, a woman from a deep palace who is the titular lord of the middle palace... wouldn't be able to do that, right? "
"There are other reasons for the deaths of Duiyin and the others." Rong Suihe briefly talked about the actions of the Duke of Dongjian'an and the Huang family and his son, and said, "So Queen Meng must have never taken the initiative to betray Duiyin and the others..."
When Xu Lianshan heard this, he thought he was going to let Queen Meng go, and even offered the Queen a chance to atone for her sins. He went to say: "Your Majesty! Even if they were exposed repeatedly, it was not the Queen who betrayed them, but if the Queen was not determined to have an abortion, so what?" Could such a thing happen?! In the final analysis, Du Yin was harmed by her!"
Rong Suihe knew full well what he was thinking wrong, and shook his head and said: "Although Ru Ru Ming has too much time to take care of herself, but alone and Na Fuzhen, I just want to know that the wrong person is still alive, and I can't rest assured after all! Otherwise, it is not necessary to delay, but I want to take Mr. Leyang's advice into consideration while also acting in a hurry. After thinking about it alone, the most suitable candidate is the Queen."
As for whether Queen Meng could kill Rong Qingzui, "There is no need for her to do it herself, just use her identity as Xuan Jing's successor and Meng Guiyu's cousin to create a cover!"
... Empress Meng did not know Rong Suihe's plan. After sending the letter to Sheng Weiqiao, she still received no reply. After the palace servant who was responsible for delivering the letter returned, she reported that Sheng Weiqiao's attitude was very perfunctory, which made the empress feel very He was so worried that he could not even think about food or drink.
At that time, news came from Ge Zhongpeng that it was Rong Shuihe's personal order. Queen Meng couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief, so how could she think more about it
After all, in the Queen's view, although Rong Suihe was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he doted on the concubine Sheng Weiqiao very much.
So it's not too cruel to blame myself as Sheng Weiqiao's best friend.
Within a few months, she acted according to the plan. When a court meeting was held, she cooperated with Ge Zhongpeng's people inside and outside, subdued the palace servants sent by Meng Guiyu around her, and broke into the palace where the previous court meeting was held from Wangchun Palace. He cried and complained that Meng Guiyu was resentful that after the death of his fourth wife and his wife, the remaining three and four wives were taken care of in secret, relying on the regent's advantage.
He even indulged Rong Qingzui and risked Tiandong's ungrateful mistake to move his own legs and feet!
How could Meng Guiyu not know about the situation? Could it be that Queen Meng betrayed her
If Rong Suihe was not in the court, if the main forces of the three frontier armies stationed outside Chang'an City did not all lean towards Rong Suihe, let alone Empress Meng's groundless accusations, he would not have produced ironclad evidence. It doesn't matter!
But no matter how powerless Empress Meng is, her status is left there. If she complains in public and asks the ministers to make decisions for her, Meng Guiyu can't just punch and kick her like she did in Wangchun Palace. Kick it
Qiu Zhen did that, which was equivalent to admitting her accusation!
The livid-faced Marquis Chongxin saw that the Queen was becoming more and more disgraceful as she spoke, and she kept saying that she wanted to kill him. Finally, he couldn't bear it and shouted: "Bitch! How dare I turn black and red there?! What is that in my belly?" I know clearly whose seed this thing belongs to!!!"
When those words were shouted out, the court was immediately in an uproar!
