"This situation is wrong!" The three old men had all seen strong winds and waves. Although they were a little surprised when the imperial troops swarmed in, none of them lost their composure. When they were "invited" to the carriage, Mr. Xu still whispered He muttered to Mr. Feng next to him, "Didn't you say that it's hard for the prince to fall out with Mi Zhen now? Are we safe?"
Old Mrs. Feng sighed: "I guess there is some news from the border area that we don't know about yet?"
Mr. Xu asked curiously: "What news?"
"..." Old Mrs. Feng said nothing and glanced at Old Mrs. Sheng, who had a gloomy expression.
Mr. Xu immediately went to ask Mr. Sheng again. Mr. Sheng's face was as dark as water. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said: "King Gaomi didn't want the world to know that he had a bad relationship with Mi Zhen. The reason was Firstly, I want to use Mi Zhen’s momentum to calm those who are ready to make a move, especially to counteract the pressure from Meng Boqin; secondly, I am afraid that Mi Zhen will stand up and deal with him.”
"Now we are no longer taboo about these two points. Eighty percent of the time... I just realized what I said. Something happened on the border. Mi Zhen... the worst case scenario is that he will be held back!"
"So King Gaomi is here to add insult to injury?!" Old Marquis Xu sighed, "I thought I was cruel enough to my sons and grandsons. Compared with this prince, why do I think I am so kind?"
Mr. Feng smiled calmly and said: "Brother Xu, how cruel are you? You can tell just by looking at the results. The three of us are just old guys waiting to die, but the prince has the power to kill and seize everything... so domineering and majestic. … How can we compare?”
The soldiers around ignored their sarcastic remarks, drove the three of them into the carriage, and headed towards the Gaomi Palace. After the carriage had walked for a while, Mr. Xu looked outside and sighed: "My sister-in-law is probably going to be scared." .”
"She's probably gone with us!" Mrs. Sheng said expressionlessly, "Women are usually easy to fool. The last time King Gaomi interrogated her, it didn't work. This time, why don't you know that we should ask her separately?"
Mr. Xu Laohou said: "Then let the three of us come together now? Aren't you afraid that our counterpart's confession will deceive him?"
Old Mrs. Feng smiled: "Brother Xu, how do you know that no one can hear what we are talking about right now?"
"So what if I hear it?" Old Mrs. Sheng sneered, "What can we, an old man, know about what a noble man like him wants to know?! How can we say what he wants to hear if we don't know anything?"
The three of them actually felt a little heavy at the moment. However, although their combined status was not as good as that of the Gaomi King, they had been prestigious in the local area for a lifetime. Now they couldn't help themselves and felt a little annoyed in their hearts, but they refused to let go of their arrogance easily.
At this time, just as Mrs. Sheng expected, Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Xiahou had been "invited" to the Gaomi Palace first.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw two heads flying towards him and smashing them at his feet. The blood stains on the broken neck were not dry, and they were flung out and splashed all over the skirts of the two old ladies. Seeing this, what did Mrs. Xiahou do to Mr. Xu? The strange woman who came up with the idea to beat her grandson with a mace, although she was caught off guard and stared in shock, she soon realized that this was the King of Gaomi deceiving herself and Mrs. Ming because they were old and a prostitute.
Angry in her heart, she raised her foot without thinking, kicked the head in front of her away, and shouted sternly: "The prince just sent people to the Hou Mansion and Sheng Mansion to pick up old sister Shen Tongming here. He kept saying that he was invited, since it is Please, obviously you are thinking that I am a guest with my sister Ming? Why did the guest come in? First, there is blood on the skirt and shirt, and then there is an owl at the feet. Is this the way to treat guests in a dignified palace?!"
However, although Old Madam Xiahou could hold on, Old Madam Ming was extremely unbearable. Almost as soon as she saw the head in front of her clearly, she began to tremble. When Old Madam Xiahou questioned these few words, her fear soared and her body swayed. Almost as soon as Mrs. Xiahou finished speaking, she also fell down!
Mrs. Xiahou: "..."
King Gaomi from above: "..."
He really felt that these two old ladies were old and could be bullied, and were easier to deal with than the three old men. He wanted to scare them first, and he couldn't help but ask and answer whatever they wanted.
But he didn't expect that of the two people who were "invited" first, one looked old and could be bullied, but in fact he was strong and unruly; the other was really old and easy to bully, but this... He just fainted, how could he ask questions
"This is just a misunderstanding!" King Gaomi was silent for a moment, twitching the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face and looking around, "Didn't you hear that I just sent someone to invite the two old ladies to come over? Why didn't you deal with the person? Avoid it, it will disturb the interest of the two old ladies!"
He ordered people to help Mrs. Ming go down for treatment, and asked Mrs. Xiahou to sit alone and serve tea.
Mrs. Xiahou snorted and said: "Although Sister Ming is just a commoner's wife, she is the grandmother of the princess of Mi Zhen County! She and the prince are also relatives. Now she fainted in front of the prince. Why should the prince send an imperial doctor? Diagnosis and treatment should be done carefully to prevent my sister from suffering from any serious illness, right?"
King Gaomi smiled and said, "Of course."
He was too lazy to talk in circles, and watched the servants serve tea to Mrs. Relatives! If that’s the case, why hide it from someone who has nothing to do with it and be embarrassed in vain?”
Mrs. Xiahou said: "Your Majesty said that I am happy, so of course I have to be honest: What your Majesty wants to ask, is it not the person named Huan?"
Seeing King Gaomi nodding, she sneered, "If I say that I have never seen him at all and don't know his situation, the prince will probably think that I am talking nonsense? However, in fact, if I see him, I will first Questioning him, given his identity, he has definitely seen the appearance of the concubine, so even if he did not know the identity of Mi Zhen at first, based on the fact that Mi Zhen looks exactly like the concubine, would the person named Huan be suspicious because of his carefulness?!"
"Why didn't you send Mi Zhen back to the palace or report the news to the palace? Why did you let the child suffer so much on the island and narrowly escaped death to get to where he is today?!"
"This question, Gu also hopes to ask him face to face." King Gaomi obviously didn't believe her at all when she said she knew nothing about Huan Guanlan, and said calmly, "Although Gu has some feelings for Mi Zhen, no matter what, it's all Gu's." His own flesh and blood! If you didn’t care about him at all, why did Qingfang immediately send someone to Nanfeng County to confirm after Qingfang reported that he looked exactly like the concubine and was the right age? It’s just that after the child returned, he always The orphan and the princess are not affectionate!"
"At first, I thought it was because I haven't been around for a long time."
"Looking at it now..."
"It may not be without Duke Huan's contribution!"
His face was gloomy, "Back then, because the late emperor wanted to make Gu a crown prince, he was strongly opposed by Duke Huan. For this reason, when the late emperor was there and in the early years of Xuanjing, there was indeed some discord with Duke Huan. However, childish children are innocent! Duke Huan does not like Gu. , the trouble with finding Gu directly is that he deliberately left Nan Gu’s heir overseas, taught him to hate his father and mother, and then just returned him to Gu and the princess, what’s the purpose?!”
Mrs. Xiahou really felt that Huan Guanlan did not do a good job in allowing Rong Suihe to grow up in the bandits' den. When she heard this, she couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this person named Huan still has heirs. These days, you Didn’t you go to Uncle Yongyi’s Mansion to inquire?”
She thought to herself that the King of Gaomi had even "invited" a sleazy family like her own, and most likely he would not let Yongyi Bo's house go.
But if he got the answer in Uncle Yongyi's Mansion, he didn't have to sacrifice his face to force himself and Mrs. Ming in person... The question is, how did Uncle Yongyi's Mansion reject him
Or do they really know nothing
Then King Gaomi said expressionlessly: "Uncle Yongyi's family left the city for a short stay, but there has been no news so far!"
Mrs. Xiahou was startled and asked subconsciously: "Did you get the news in advance?"
When I said these words, my heart skipped a beat. If this was really the case, then it’s no wonder that the prince was so ill that he went to the hospital for treatment and called himself and Mrs. Ming over for questioning. If King Gaomi wanted to seize the palace by force, it was impossible to tell his position in advance. The Yongyi Bo Mansion in Zhizhong is ventilated.
In this situation, the entire Yongyi Mansion actually avoided it, and they are still nowhere to be seen... Who can believe that there are people from Huan Guanlan under King Gaomi, or people who are working towards Huan Guanlan
Moreover, this person's status is not low, otherwise how could such secret information be heard
I wonder if it’s Luo Pu
So Qi Jianxun surrounded Luo Mansion last night
While I was thinking about it, a woman dressed as a steward's aunt suddenly walked in from the door and blessed the King of Gaomi.
King Gaomi frowned when he saw her and said, "Aunt Zhao, why are you here? What's the matter?"
"The princess heard that the old lady from the Ningwei Hou Mansion and the old lady from her in-laws came to the house as a guest, so she asked the old slave to invite the two old ladies to talk in the back hall." Aunt Zhao said softly and slowly, "The princess said , Your Majesty has many things to do every day, and he has always been busy with government affairs, so I don’t want to bother Your Majesty with the reception of the female family members!"
"..." King Gaomi was silent for a while and said, "The female retainer Mi Xue helped to receive the reception, so Gu also invited a few old ladies to come...?"
Aunt Zhao smiled: "The princess never asks anything about the matters ahead."
As he spoke, he turned to the surprised old Madam Xiahou and said, "Old Madam, my princess has always been in poor health, so she has not been able to welcome her from afar. I wonder if I could help Old Madam move to Xiangji Hall?"
Of course Mrs. Xiahou was happy to get away. Although she was wondering why the princess would help her, she immediately stood up and followed Aunt Zhao while saying: "My sister Ming was also 'invited' by the prince... "
Aunt Zhao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Xiahou. Mrs. Ming has just been moved to Xiangji Hall. If you go there, you can take a look in person, so you can rest assured."
"That's great!" Mrs. Xiahou nodded happily and was a little curious. When she came out of the main hall, King Gaomi couldn't hear or see this way, so she asked, "This aunt, I don't know why the princess is planning to Are you going to receive me and sister Ming personally? Although I am old and rarely go out, I have heard that the princess has been recuperating in bed for the past two years and has hardly seen any outsiders? "
