Sheng Weiqiao asked so frankly. After Meng Guihuan was slightly dazed, he smiled and said: "I don't want to be too careful, does he just want to turn a fight with me into a friendship-"
Swinging her legs to stop what Sheng Weiqiao wanted to say, she sighed bitterly, "On normal days, he is one of my aunt's nieces, and my brother also has the title of earl. It sounds very serious. Don't be afraid of me. If you don't like me, give it to me." I won’t take it to heart if it embarrasses me or costs me some face!”
"Is it possible that I just saw her, Fifteen, and I'm afraid she already hates their room!"
"That eye is there. He doesn't want to cause any more trouble to his sixth brother. Even if we want to embarrass the siblings, it's very unreasonable... But things are unpredictable. My brother immediately asked to participate in the Spring Festival. Once he is named on the gold list, Qingyun will always be there. , if you can’t say it, it’s fair to me. He doesn’t have any deep grudges that have been revealed, so why should he deny his own spirit and leave hidden dangers to his sixth brother?”
"It's not easy for his sixth brother to support their family and raise four brothers and sisters!"
"Normally he is willful, but if something involves him, he doesn't dare to be careless at all."
When Meng Guihuan said that, he saw that Sheng Weiqiao was still looking at him suspiciously, a little embarrassed, and more embarrassed. He was silent for a while, and then said, "My parents are both alive, and my grandparents are all here. It is said that they are a family." With the pearl in your hand, can you understand their desolation of losing their parents and having several brothers and sisters dependent on each other?"
"You think it's strange that I caused trouble before, and it's unexpected that I came to reconcile now, so I don't believe it." Sheng Weiqiao saw that she was sincere, but he didn't believe it. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Hey, I It’s not necessary to say that I’m afraid that they will be enemies of my sixth brother. After all, as I said, there is no deep hatred between us that has been revealed for a long time. Their Sheng family is not a high-ranking official. Even if his brother succeeds in the imperial examination, he will Why do we expect him to make the same mistake as Earl Dong when he first enters the officialdom?"
She thought to herself, as for if they defected to the King of Gaomi in the future, and my brother and I were in the wrong, then the issue of stance would be unavoidable even if he and I had never had any conflict.
Meng Guihuan didn't know what she was thinking. After hearing what she said, he nodded and said, "He will feel relieved if I say that! He can see that I am not a narrow-minded person, otherwise he wouldn't take the initiative to come here." .”
He took the initiative and said, "Tomorrow, the luncheon will be over for a long time. We are just chatting. Outside the palace, I beg you if there is anything you want to know, I can ask him. I will make up for it - don't get me wrong, he didn't He said that everyone knew it, but we didn't know it because we just came to Chang'an. It was really not suitable for external news. With our current relationship, he couldn't reveal it to me. "
Seeing her calm expression, Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while and said: "They have nothing to do with the palace outside the palace, but there is nothing they want to know. He is a little curious about Princess Deping and the Gaomi Palace I just mentioned. Of course. He doesn’t want to hear it as a story, so I mustn’t say anything he shouldn’t know!”
She wanted to collect some clues and go back to interrogate Sheng Suihe when he and Huan Ye got together, so as to avoid being fooled by Sheng Suihe again, but she didn't want to get involved in anything.
"I asked him if he was wrong about the affairs of Prince Gaomi's palace!" Meng Guihuan laughed when he heard this. He took an orange from the table in front of her and slowly peeled it, then ate and said, "I We also know that if the Ming Dynasty is in charge of the King of Gaomi and the Meng family, no one dares to gossip about their palace, but the Meng family has no such taboo! In private, they discuss and speculate about the palace of the Gaomi family. There have been some suspicious incidents in recent years!”
Sheng Weiqiao picked up the golden banana leaf cup, sipped it slowly, and pretended to ask casually: "When he visited an uncle's house two days ago, he heard from the uncle that there was an epidemic in Gaomi Palace. So many people? Even the third biological son of King Gaomi and the princess are gone?"
"When is the epidemic? Will it be snowy at that time?" Meng Guihuan waved his legs and said, "Where did the epidemic come from in that season? It's just a cover-up! At first glance, it is clear that there will be a fight between the back house and the winner. Let’s talk about the Princess of Gaomi. Otherwise, there is no such thing as the epidemic that has won the heart of the royal family so much. It wiped out all the concubines, concubines, and children outside the palace. The Princess of Gaomi and her wife, except for the unlucky third wife Are you really doing well outside of me?"
Sheng Weiqiao also speculated that the so-called epidemic was actually caused by a fight between the family members. He was not surprised when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Since Princess Bu Nao of Gaomi wins, why is the third legitimate son not dead?"
"Is it possible that Concubine Mo's counterattack before she died was that Princess Gaomi was negligent and that Yongwanzhe was unable to protect her son?" Meng Guihuan was wrong about this question but could not guess. She explained, "A When that incident happened, he was still in his infancy and was still ignorant, but he only heard about it from the chats of his elders when he grew up. Secondly, the Lantern Festival had just passed, and spring was coming, and Chang'an was surrounded by Xingbang in the east. There was a lot of discussion. At that time, even if they were Meng's family, the Gaomi Palace paid much less attention than usual. The Gaomi Palace did a very straightforward job in that matter. Overnight, not only Concubine Mo and others All died due to the 'epidemic', and many of the Eastern servants were also among those who died of illness."
She curled her lips and said, "I know that in that season, when everyone knows that there is no epidemic at all, why did Prince Gaomi lie with his eyes open and blame all the more than two hundred lives on the so-called epidemic? The picture shows that the deceased were burned into ashes before being buried in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, so it would be difficult to conduct an autopsy!"
"The Gaomi Palace acted very quickly. Within three days after the epidemic was announced, everyone was dragged outside the city and burned clean!"
"So their family had no choice but to hold on to the matter because there was no proof, and the Gaomi Palace refused to admit it. Later, the Gaomi Palace shamelessly said that they suspected that their family had tried to give him the palace. Lidong Poison made him think that the people in the house were infected with the epidemic, and asked the Meng family to give him an explanation. After being entangled in this for some months, the two sides had a new dispute, and the matter was put aside. "
Sheng Weiqiao's face changed, and he murmured: "More than two hundred lives! Then... I'm afraid the entire palace will have to be replaced, right?"
"Is that possible?" Meng Guihuan nodded and said, "Please tell me if Princess Gaomi really has legs! After the 'epidemic', the palace was in the east. Except for the group of people left by the late emperor to the king of Gaomi, there were no other All of them were exchanged for her dowry, and it is said that she personally ordered people to buy the remaining ones into the palace. From that time to now, she has the final say in the Gaomi Palace. Since then, the Gaomi King has not even had a wife. Na, your majesty, the backyard is extremely clean, which is a rare thing in the clan."
Fu's voice, which was originally low, was lowered, "So many people also suspected that the third son of King Gaomi and Princess Gaomi might not have been killed when something happened when Princess Gaomi eradicated Concubine Mo and the others. Princess Gaomi regarded her as an abandoned son and was the first to die at the legs of Concubine Mo and others! Later, Princess Gaomi avenged her son justifiably. After killing Concubine Mo and others in the palace openly, she was forgiven by King Gaomi and allowed her to From then on, the King of Gaomi became disgusted and suspicious of his mistress, and he always stayed by her side all these years!"
Sheng Weiqiao's heart sank, and Dong said consciously: "That's not very good, is it? After that incident, Princess Gaomi was ill for more than half a year? After all, she was born a ruthless person, how could she let go?"
"I don't know, the third son has a physical defect." Meng Guihuan explained, "It is said that the problem was brought about in the womb and he has been ill since he was born. The palace specially hired an old man for him. The imperial doctor looked at it and concluded that Daofu must rest until he reaches adulthood without any troubles - so the third son has never appeared in front of others. Even for banquets like Full Moon and Full Week, the King of Gaomi and his wife came out to greet them. None of the guests showed up."
"To put it bluntly, who knows if the person serving him was careless and something happened to him? Princess Gaomi will see if she can survive. She might as well take advantage of it and give herself a chance to survive. Biological children pave the way?"
"Sick?" Sheng Weiqiao repeated, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and asked in a low voice, "Am I sure? Does the third son really have a problem that was brought in from the womb?"
Meng Guihuan glanced at her in confusion, obviously a little surprised as to why she asked that question, but he nodded: "It's not a secret, I don't believe him. After getting to know the girls from different families, , just ask anyone and they will certainly deny that!"
"I misunderstood, how could he not believe me?" Sheng Weiqiao asked, "Doesn't he just feel a little strange! Because they went out to look at the house two days ago, and happened to meet Princess Qingfang, the daughter of the King of Gaomi, who was the owner of the house. The situation, he saw that Princess Qingfang looked very good, but he really didn't expect that her brother was actually sick."
-Although I have never heard about Sheng Suihe's health when he was a child, I think he lived on Tortoiseshell Island when he was five years old. For several years after that, he suffered a lot because of his young age, until he gradually grew up and became a member of the Gongsun family. The more things you do, the better your situation will be.
Then, there was no way he could have been a sick child when he was a child!
Otherwise, the shipwreck that caused him to be exiled to Tortoiseshell Island would probably have been gone, not to mention the subsequent tortures
Sheng Weiqiao reasoned like this, but when he thought about Princess Qingfang and Aunt Zhao, especially Aunt Zhao's abnormality after seeing Sheng Suihe's appearance, he was a little unsure.
She thought to herself: "There was only one Meng Guihuan who told him this. Who knows whether it is true or not? Even if she did not lie to him intentionally, but as she said just now, she was very young when that incident happened. , or maybe I listened to what others told me when I grew up - there may be some fallacy in it! Maybe it would be better to ask a few more people to inquire before making a judgment!"
"Princess Gaomi's other children are indeed in good health, but for some reason something went wrong with the third legitimate son." Seeing her in a daze, Meng Guihuan thought that she was speculating, and guessed, "Is it possible that Princess Gaomi is pregnant with him?" Did you eat something by mistake?"
Thinking of Concubine Mo and others' misfortune, she blurted out, "Did Yong Wan Zhe fall in love with concubines and concubines? That's why he planned to kill them all together with their children? In fact, Princess Gaomi was a girl. When she was a princess, she had a very good reputation. Even in the years after she became the princess, she was always praised for her tolerance and magnanimity. If Concubine Mo and the others had not done things that she could not tolerate, she probably would not have done them. Absolutely so."
Before, Sheng Weiqiao had been focusing on insinuating whether Sheng Sleeping Crane was okay or not. The so-called third son of Gaomi Palace who had died in infancy was in front of him. Only then did he notice something: "Miss Eleven mentioned Concubine Mo several times. He Remember, Prince Gaomi’s biological mother, Ru Ming’s concubine, also has the surname Mo, I don’t know between the two of them?”
"Aunt and nephew." Meng Guihuan nodded and said, "A direct aunt and nephew - after something happened to Concubine Mo and her children, Concubine Mo was frightened and angry, and urgently summoned King Gaomi and his wife to prevent them from being in the palace. After a long discussion, I don’t know how the King of Gaomi and his wife persuaded the concubine. In short, the concubine was seriously ill and kept silent about this matter. Even if her aunt had not come forward on her own, the concubine would have been silent. I won’t reveal even a single word.”
"Bu Nao, the concubine has never met Princess Gaomi since then. Princess Deping, who accidentally stayed in the palace at that time to save Dong's life, has never returned to the palace of Gaomi Prince again!"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard that, he asked: "That's a bit incomprehensible to him: Princess Deping was not very young at that time, so she was naive and innocent. No matter what Concubine Mo did, how could Princess Deping be brought to this point? Besides, it didn't matter what Concubine Mo had done. , the Queen Mother has allowed Princess Deping to live in the palace, and the Queen Mother has given her the title of princess, so why is no one taking care of her life-long affairs?"
Meng Guihuan was begging for an answer, but at that time his sleeve was pulled by the maid behind him. He turned around and saw that Queen Mother Meng put down her teeth and stood up with Chi Zuosi's legs, as if she was going to leave the table - she went to lower her head. Sheng Weiqiao said in a hurry, "I'll talk about it later," because her voice was wrong, and she quickly got ready to see the Queen Mother off.
