"Brother-in-law, do you know that thirty-six people have frozen to death in the capital? And in the area under the jurisdiction of Prince Lie's two confidants in Liaodong, more than a hundred people have frozen to death?" Jin Fengju poured himself another glass of wine, He said happily. He was quite satisfied with this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
"What? Such a thing happened? But... But why didn't I know? I didn't hear the officials report." Prince Rong slapped the table: "This bastard, my father asked him to manage the winter disaster prevention in the capital. He...where did he care? He actually let so many innocent people die tragically. No, I want to take part in him."
After he spoke generously, he gave Jin Feng a thumbs up: "What a good brat, you've been able to find out like this. This is really great. Once the memorial is issued, I'm not afraid that my father will not punish him..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jin Fengju, who said coldly: "Well, that's right. After punishing Prince Lie, I will look back at your record and suspect that you are attacking dissident parties and opposing dissidents, right?"
"Ah... ah?" Prince Rong was confused: "I didn't. I really feel aggrieved for those people who died tragically. Of course, I will say it bluntly in front of you. Naturally, I also look forward to hitting him... "
"Do you think the emperor would think so?" Jin Fengju sneered: "You don't have to just say it in front of me, the emperor will also know in his heart that you are taking the opportunity to suppress your brother. Why suppress him? Naturally, he will covet the dragon chair. Once Will the old man feel comfortable if the emperor recognizes this? Brother-in-law, do you think the emperor will not think about it when he establishes the throne in the future? "
"Then... what should we do? I... should we just watch with such a handle in our hands but not be able to use it? Besides... besides, why are the people guilty? There are still two months until the Chinese New Year. If we let the old man continue to act like this, what will happen? I don’t know how many people will die. He is not good at preventing disasters, but he is very skilled at protecting people."
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Why are you anxious? I don't want to think about who is being suppressed the most nowadays? Of course there are people who are more anxious than you."
Prince Rong just thought for a moment, and looked at each other again. They both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and said in unison: "Could it be... Could it be Hong..."
Jin Fengju nodded slowly: "Exactly, at this time, Prince Hong's eyes are redder than ours. Why not help him and let him succeed? Then the snipe and the clam will fight, and we are just waiting to reap the benefits. That’s good.”
"It's a good idea, but how can we let Prince Hong know about this letter without becoming suspicious? Otherwise, as long as he is a little suspicious, he should understand the pros and cons. Prince Hong is not a fool." The princess hesitated. road. Prince Rong on the side also nodded desperately: "That's right. Besides, weren't the two of them very good before? It seems like they are going to join forces to deal with me."
"Join forces? Is there a trace of sincerity and credibility in the cooperation between these two people? Normally, they can do it naturally, but at this time, in the face of huge interests, are you afraid that Prince Hong's eyes will not turn red? As for the news, it doesn't matter. I have asked a reliable person to hand it over." Jin Feng said confidently. Seeing his sister and brother-in-law looking at him with questioning expressions, he smiled slightly: "My sister and brother-in-law still remember that six years ago, Prince Hong was in great power, but we Is she the concubine who was forced to be my main wife by the Zhenjiang Prince’s Palace when I had to keep a low profile?”
This incident was not only regarded as a shame by the entire Jin Xianghou family, but also remained a great shame and humiliation in the hearts of Prince Rong and Princess Rong. As a prince, he could not protect his concubine's natal family, so that the brother-in-law he valued most had to marry a concubine of his mortal enemy. Whenever I think of this, I feel like I can't swallow it.
"That woman..." Prince Rong drank a glass of wine fiercely, but the princess guessed Fu Qiuning's identity from her brother's previous story. At this time, she solemnly said: "Could it be that the Fu Qiuning that my brother said about selling embroidery for a living is the concubine. Female? Weird way, I was still thinking how could you be so ruthless to a concubine? If I was sorry for you, why didn't you kill her? It turned out to be her. "
Jin Fengju said sternly: "Brother-in-law, sister. I am just like you, this shame has always been in my heart, so that I have ignored her for five years. Unexpectedly, the people in the house thought that I had left their mother and son to fend for themselves. Over the years, , if she had not struggled to survive, even my two children would not have survived. After nearly a year of contact with her, I realized that she is really a talented, knowledgeable, virtuous and kind-hearted woman. But I used to, really I have wronged her, and now I feel so regretful that I can only try my best to make up for it. Brother-in-law, I promise to keep her safe for the rest of her life, so once my brother-in-law can get what he wants in the future, the Zhenjiang Palace will definitely get rid of him as soon as possible. However, Qiuning, my brother is here I beg you, for the sake of my brother, just treat her as if she doesn’t exist.”
Prince Rong nodded and said: "Oh, if she is as good as you said, she can be considered a good woman. What you want to do with her is your business, and I will naturally not ask. Although she is the concubine of the Zhenjiang Prince's Palace, since I have married you, and I am a member of your Houfu. You have the final say on how to deal with it." At this point, he couldn't help but frown and said: "It's just that you asked her to reveal the news. You know, she is the King of Zhenjiang after all. The Crown Prince’s daughter, this... isn’t this a bit risky?”
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have tried it. Sister-in-law, please think about who pushed her into the Hou Mansion as a chess piece that day? Knowing that she would have no way to survive after entering the Hou Mansion, but he didn't care about her life or death at all. Such a father Grandpa, can she not have hatred in her heart? Besides, she is not a weak woman who only knows how to obey. I have been in contact with her so many times, and I know her temperament that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. It can be said that I entrusted this matter to him. It’s foolproof, brother-in-law and sister, just wait and see the good show.”
Prince Rong and Princess Rong thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed very accurate. Besides, even if Fu Qiuning refused to harm his father and grandfather and did not reveal any information, they would not lose anything. As long as they Don't rush to overthrow Prince Lie, just make your father wary and unhappy.
The knot in their hearts was relieved, and both Jin Fengju and Prince Rong were extremely happy. If it hadn't been for Princess Rong's persuasion, they would have been completely drunk. Despite this, he couldn't walk in a straight line and had to be supported by two people as he staggered around. Princess Rong had no choice but to say to Jin Ming: "Go back and tell your grandma that the young Marquis was drunk in the palace today. He followed the old rules and took all the official uniforms and hats from the morning court and left directly from me. "
Jin Ming happily agreed and went back to report the news without mentioning it.
Let's talk about Fu Qiuning returning to the Zhenjiang Palace. When she got off the sedan, she saw many women surrounded by pearls and emerald green waiting there. When they saw her, they came up to her one by one and said: "Hey, the girl is getting more and more beautiful. This We haven’t seen him for six years, but his appearance has changed drastically.”
Fu Qiuning knew that these were his father's concubines, and the wife of the Prince of Zhenjiang did not need to come to welcome her, because although she was the young Marquis's wife, she did not have a royal title. Because I had met these concubines one by one, I said to them: "I heard that my mother was ill, and I was very anxious. I also asked all the aunts to take me over to visit. I wonder if she is still living in Aunt Li's Huaxi Courtyard. ?”
"Oh, she no longer lives in Huaxi Courtyard. She lives in Songtao Pavilion, which is Aunt Luo's residence." A concubine replied with a smile. Fu Qiuning knew that Aunt Li was very favored by her father, and Huaxi Courtyard was also very luxurious in this mansion. One of the courtyards. I think it was for the purpose of marrying her to the Jinxianghou Mansion that day, so the two of them were allowed to live there just to show off. After she got married, the couple lost the value of their use. Naturally, the Yu family could not continue to live in Huaxi Courtyard. Although Aunt Luo also lived in another courtyard, she was extremely unpopular. If we use the palace as an analogy, The Songtao Pavilion can basically be compared to the Cold Palace.
"In that case, I will go to Songtao Pavilion to have a look. I haven't seen Aunt Luo for a long time. When I was in the mansion that day, she often talked to me." Fu Qiuning laughed softly, and all the concubines said: "Since then, So, let's go there with the girl, your mother is fine, she even went to check on her this morning, she looks much better than the past few days, I'm afraid it's because she felt better after hearing that you were coming back."
Fu Qiuning walked to Songtao Pavilion while talking to them. Perhaps affected by the memory of her previous life, she still had a deep feeling for this mother. Although in Zhuangzi's memory, this cowardly mother was trapped in tears and sorrow for a long time, she still gave her daughter as much protection and maternal love as possible.
When they came to Songtao Pavilion, they saw Aunt Luo coming out of the house. When she saw Fu Qiuning, tears came to her eyes. In her early years, she felt that she and Mr. Yu had the same problem, so they were particularly compatible. And because she didn't have a son and a half, she didn't have a daughter at that time. I especially pity and sympathize with Fu Qiuning. I originally thought that after this child married into the Hou Mansion, he would never come back. So how could the Hou Mansion let a humiliated child live well in the world? But I never expected that not only would I be able to see this girl again in this life, but the government would also take the initiative to send someone to pick her up.
"Aunt Luo." Fu Qiuning bowed down. Before she could fully heal, she was hugged by Aunt Luo. She choked and said: "No need to bow, just come back. Just come back. Your mother can't get out of bed due to illness. Bed, she... She has been looking forward to it all these years..." With just one sentence, she burst into tears.
