Nanny Wei clutched her chest tightly and huddled there motionless, for fear that people outside would see her.
She originally came in to get a snack box, but when she heard the words inside, she immediately stopped. She felt dizzy and her face turned pale. Something big had happened in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. She had to find a way to tell her nephew to prevent him from getting involved. Going in, she had heard from her nephew before that she seemed to have a very good relationship with Marquis Xingguo.
There was still a sound outside, chatting silently, no longer talking about the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Aunt Wei pressed her chest hard, suppressed the shock in her heart, turned around carefully, and returned to the Inside, he calmed down for a long time, making himself look more relaxed, and then walked out with a heavy step.
After talking for a while, the Queen Mother looked tired.
Chu Liuchen stood up: "Grandma Huang, please rest first, I'm going down the mountain."
"Go back!" The Queen Mother said with a kind smile. She turned her eyes to Shao Wanru and felt more and more pity for her. This child was also pitiful. I originally thought that Chen'er was the most pitiful, but I didn't expect that there was such a child who could be so pitiful. Ren Lian said, "Leave the affairs of Xingguo Hou Mansion to Chen'er. If you don't want to go, don't go. No one will blame you!"
The Queen Mother is going to back up Shao Wanru. No matter what others say, she plans to protect the child.
Shao Wanru's eyes turned red, she bit her lip, suppressed the sudden sourness and grievance in her heart, and nodded vigorously: "Grandma Huang, granddaughter-in-law... I know, thank you Grandma Huang!"
His own grandmother was so unkind to him, but the Queen Mother actually treated him as her own granddaughter. How could Shao Wanru not be sad, but after being sad, he was relieved. His little hand was silently held by Chu Liuchen, and it felt warm. Her cold and stinging heart slowly calmed down.
In this life, she was not alone, she had him by her side.
"Empress Dowager, would you like to take a rest first? Your body still needs to be nourished. The scenery here is nice, and you can rest your body and mind." Aunt Wei came out with a smile and put the cakes on the table. , looked at the Queen Mother's face and knew that she was mentally exhausted.
"Take a rest!" The Queen Mother nodded, supported Nanny Wei's hand and said with a smile, "The scenery here is indeed amazing. You can go and have a look when you have nothing to do. Don't wait around all day long. Beside the Ai family."
"The Queen Mother is resting, so I'm going to take a walk. I really need to go and take a look. I can also offer some incense and pray to Bodhisattva to guarantee that the Queen Mother will live a long life." Aunt Wei helped the Queen Mother into the room and asked her to lie down on the bed. Then, he lowered the gauze curtain on one side and tucked it carefully for her.
"You, go enjoy the scenery!" The Queen Mother smiled and closed her eyes. She was really tired. She had walked a lot outside before.
After hearing the Queen Mother's delicate breathing, Nanny Wei came out of the inner room and ordered two little palace maids, one to go in and wait, the other to stay outside, and then quietly went to a Buddhist temple.
This place is also the Buddhist hall of Huaguang Temple, but it is very small and off-center. There are some everlasting lamps placed there, but they are not from a big family, and it is deserted on weekdays.
When Nanny Wei came over, there was only one monk cleaning the ever-burning lamp here. When he saw her coming in, he greeted her.
He bowed his head and stepped aside.
"I want to see Wei Dahai." Nanny Wei stood still and said. Wei Dahai once told her that if she wanted to see him, she should come here and tell the monks in the Buddhist temple.
Nanny Wei doesn't think about the reason for this now. She doesn't dare to think about some things. She is a relative like Wei Dahai and can't just watch something happen to him.
The monk stepped aside, clasped his hands and nodded: "Master Wei happens to be in the temple today, please wait a moment."
It was really a coincidence that we were actually on the mountain. Nanny Wei breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the monk leave. She watched and waited inside.
Not long after, I saw a figure flickering at the door of the Buddhist temple. When I turned around, I saw Wei Dahai coming in a hurry.
"Aunt, what happened?" Wei Dahai wiped his sweat and asked after coming in. It must be something serious for Aunt Wei to come to him in such a hurry.
"Do you know, Marquis Xingguo?" Nanny Wei pulled Wei Dahai to stand behind the hanging curtain and asked in a low voice.
"Xingguo Hou Shao Jing, I know, what happened?" Wei Dahai didn't understand what Nanny Wei meant for a moment, so he nodded and asked.
"Do you have a very good relationship with him? If it's very good, then cut off contact with him..." Aunt Wei paused here and then said, "If you have any letters or other things related to him, , destroy it quickly, something is going to happen to him!"
Monk Wei Dahai was confused. He really didn't understand why Nanny Wei suddenly told him this. The incident in the Xingguo Hou Mansion had not yet spread to the outside world. Mrs. Wen Xiang who was present at the time just went back to the house and had no face to talk to other people. People say this kind of thing.
The Xingguo Hou Mansion had long been in chaos. If Zhao Xiran wanted to send a message, he would only send it to his father. Besides, no one thought that the matter was so serious.
"What could happen to him? About the concubine?" Wei Dahai really didn't understand what Granny Wei wanted to say, so he thought about it and asked tentatively. This matter was being spread outside, and he knew something about it.
"You actually really know about his concubine?" Wei Wei was shocked and grabbed Wei Dahai's hand. "This woman from the concubine has nothing to do with you, right? This woman is the maid of Princess Qinghua. , it must be more than just this!"
Aunt Wei has also been in the deep palace for so many years. This situation looks like something is wrong no matter how you look at it. Moreover, Princess Qinghua is still dead. The Dafang lineage of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, if the current Princess Chen did not return in time, Even if it is abolished and the second wife gets all the benefits, there must be something wrong with Shao Jing, the Marquis of Xingguo.
"Isn't that the daughter of the former censor?" Wei Dahai said in surprise when seeing Aunt Wei in such a panic.
This matter really didn't have much to do with him, and he didn't pay much attention to it in the past.
"No, that's a lie. The censor's daughter is a maid of Princess Qinghua. It seems that the former son of Xingguohou Mansion and Princess Qinghua are a little surprised. It is related to Xingguohou. Can you Don't get involved, the Xingguo Hou Mansion will be destroyed!" Aunt Wei warned worriedly.
Wei Dahai's eyebrows wrinkled. This matter is not a trivial matter. He has to go down the mountain to make arrangements. Huge changes have taken place in the Xingguo Hou Mansion. It is not a trivial matter. Something happened to Shao Jing, and it involves a lot of people.
"Aunt, I understand. If nothing happens, I will
Went down the mountain. "Wei Dahai is leaving.
Aunt Wei grabbed him, but she still felt uneasy: "Dahai, tell your aunt, does this matter have anything to do with you? King Chen personally intervened!"
If nothing unexpected happens, Shao Jing is finished.
"Aunt, don't worry, there really is nothing wrong. Marquis Xingguo and I are just acquaintances, and we don't have any particularly good friendships on weekdays. However, this matter is of great concern. I have to go down the mountain to have a look." Wei Dahai was annoyed. Get up, he said displeasedly.
"Then you go down the mountain first, and remember not to get involved. If this is really involved and King Chen finds out, even I can't save you!"
Aunt Wei warned again.
"Aunt, don't worry, I won't offend King Chen!" Wei Shihai said, throwing away Nanny Wei's hand. After saying this, he ignored Nanny Wei and strode out.
It was indeed a coincidence that he went up the mountain today. He originally wanted to see Aunt Wei and find out something from Aunt Wei, but he didn't expect to get such shocking news. He couldn't sit still. He had to go back and discuss it with his wife. For a moment, I always felt that although this matter had little to do with me, it was very likely to involve me.
Wei Dahai hurried down the mountain, and the Ministry of Punishment had already invited Shao Jing over.
When E Niang was taken away by people from Prince Chen's Mansion, Shao Jing was prepared. He knew that this matter could not go well. After thinking about it carefully, except for E Niang's identity as Princess Qinghua's maid, the others were really It's nothing. As for E Niang's identity, she didn't find it for herself. It was for Princess Ruian, and it doesn't count for her.
With this thought, he felt at peace and thought that if he went to the Ministry of Punishment and explained, the Ministry of Punishment would release him.
There is nothing we can do if E Niang cannot enter the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Then we can think of another way. If E Niang cannot enter, her daughter will still be her own daughter. If Ru'er's daughter was born out of another wife, she can just enter the house. If that doesn't work, remember In the Jiang family's name, the identity of the legitimate daughter could never be escaped. Thinking of this, Shao Jing felt that it was not a big deal.
Secretly went to a remote small courtyard in the Xingguo Hou Mansion, where Shao Yanru's daughter lived after she returned. He told Shao Yanru what happened so that she had an idea, and then went back to the study to wait. It didn't take long for people from the Punishment Department to come to the door. Shao Jing went with the people from the Punishment Department without saying much.
This time is similar to last time. It is just a trip at most. There is no evidence. Whatever Shao Wanru says is false. She, Princess Chen, cannot cover the sky with one hand. Besides, he also specially wrote a letter to King Cheng to let him Trying to find a way to save yourself, even if there are some accidents, it is not a big deal.
E Niang is not an ordinary maid. She is good at martial arts. He specially sent her to Princess Qinghua. She is also loyal to him. Even if she is bad now, she just has a reputation as a fake. She will not die. Of course He won't ask for himself to come out. As for what Shao Wanru said before, who will take it seriously!
Shao Jing thought that he had thought through all the possibilities and that nothing would happen to him this time. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the door of the Criminal Department, he was held down and his hands and feet were immediately locked with chains.
"I am the dignified Marquis of Xingguo, how dare you lock me up!" Shao Jing was furious. After being stunned for a moment, he struggled desperately, his face turned red and his neck became thick, and his veins bulged.
