The sturdy mother-in-law was indeed the nun, the mother-in-law of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, and Shao Jing's confidant. Shao Jing was kind to her. Her only son was fighting with someone outside, and his legs were beaten so that he could not walk anymore. Shao Jing helped her and treated her son's leg. After her son died, she followed Shao Jing wholeheartedly.
After Princess Qinghua faked her death, she served her and took her to E Niang's residence.
After E Niang left the house, she became Shao Jing's foreign wife and lived in an inconspicuous house in the capital. Shao Jing was very careful every time he came over, turning around several times, changing carriages, and even Julien also changed his clothes, which is why Jiang suspected it but never found it.
Shao Jing was very cautious. This was not just a matter of the outer chamber, but also of Princess Qinghua.
As the former maid of Princess Qinghua, E Niang actually meant to help guard and serve. This period has been more than ten years. Princess Qinghua has never been very clear about her sanity. She was like this when she faked her death. It seems that it has been like this for so many years. It is rare for me to wake up, and even if I wake up, I can't remember many things. Most of the time, E Niang just does what she says.
She had always known E Niang, so there was no big fuss.
Everyone around knows that this family is low-key. The man is a businessman and is rarely in the capital. He doesn't care about Shao Jing's absence. Princess Qinghua doesn't make any noise, so of course no one will find out about this family. There is also an abnormal woman.
The news spread that Princess Qinghua was still alive!
The entire capital is almost going crazy. Princess Qinghua has not died for so many years! Moreover, he was still imprisoned and said that Shao Jing really should be cut into pieces, his brother killed, and his eldest sister-in-law imprisoned. Such a vicious and outrageous person actually managed to become the Marquis of Xingguo for so many years.
I used to think that Princess Chen caused a lot of trouble when she returned to the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. Some people were more or less on Shao Jing's side, thinking that Princess Chen was probably not a good person. Now no one stood up to help Shao Jing. Speak.
When the eldest princess of Ruian got the news, she cried so hard that she fainted while holding Princess Qinghua. If it weren't for this granddaughter, Princess Qinghua's fate would have been to die, or she would have lost her value and died in the hands of Shao Jing. Ruian For such a strong person as the eldest princess, she cried with blood and tears.
The rumors outside first pointed directly at the Xingguo Hou Mansion, and then transferred from Xingguo Hou to King Cheng. I don’t know when it happened. Many people were saying that Shao Jing and King Cheng had a good relationship. They used to go out and go to Cheng. In the palace, he would also go to teach some Buddhist scriptures to King Cheng.
The relationship between Shao Jing and Prince Cheng had always seemed normal to outsiders.
Mrs. Tai claimed to be a Buddhist, and from time to time she would ask people to go up the mountain to ask for some Buddhist scriptures, saying that she would copy them by herself. Shao Jing asked King Cheng to ask for a few unique Buddhist scriptures, which was nothing. Shao Jing's behavior outside was always smiling. He looks like a kind person, like the smiling Buddha statue in the temple, and has the gimmick of a dowager in it. Even if he occasionally goes to see King Cheng a few times, it is nothing.
If you borrow something, you always repay it. After going back and forth, you will get acquainted with it, and it is okay to walk around a few more times. At that time, King Cheng was devoted to cultivation and had lofty ambitions. He was not close to other courtiers. Shao Jing occasionally walked a few times, and also It won't arouse suspicion.
But things are different now. King Cheng's ambition becomes more and more obvious as things unfold.
Well, now many people are secretly suspicious of King Cheng, feeling that King Cheng is not as innocent and innocent as he appears on the surface. Since King Cheng has thoughts, what about Shao Jing? Is this trip really just for Mrs. Tai to copy Buddhist scriptures
The wife of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion is not a good person either. Does she really know nothing about her second son’s behavior? Even if he didn't personally witness Shao Jing's murder of his brother, what about what happened to Princess Qinghua in the Xingguo Hou Mansion? I heard that although this lady doesn't care about the inner court, she has been controlling things behind the scenes. How could she know nothing about what happened in the house
He knew it, but he still watched his second son act helplessly. How could such a mind be called Buddha nature
Since it is not true and good, it means that Shao Jing took advantage of the false Buddha nature of the wife to get close to King Cheng.
If you think about it this way, can you say that behind Shao Jing is King Cheng
There were some things that I thought were impossible at first, but after I peeled them off, the more I thought about them, the more possible they became. There were some things that Shao Jing couldn't do even if he wanted to, because his hands were not that long after all.
For example, in the case of the Jiang family this time, the Jiang family blocked Shao Jing's way, preventing him from marrying a foreign wife, and then it was revealed that he had killed his brother and sister-in-law, so Shao Jing decided to kill the Jiang family.
Shao Jing doesn't have that many abilities. Killing Jiang in the Ministry of Justice is not what Shao Jing can do, so where is the possible King Cheng behind him? It must be possible.
Once one thing is figured out, the other things become understandable, so King Cheng’s men killed the Jiang family. Only people from the Ministry of Punishment would know when there was no manpower to monitor the Jiang family, so they could leave during the gap and investigate. He killed the little official. No one saw him at that time, so it must have been him who did it.
Then the blame was put on Prince Qing, and then there was a fire in Prince Qing's mansion, and people were taken to Prince Qing's mansion in the chaos, and there were assassins who assassinated Prince Qing, but it was just a cover-up, and then everyone was His eyes were drawn to Prince Qing.
They all linked up and pushed everything to King Qing. King Qing went to the palace and cried to the emperor, saying that he didn't know anything. He didn't know why the little official in the Buddhist hall was there. , that is the place where the concubine practices Buddhism, and there is usually no one else there. There is only an elderly woman taking care of her. Before the people from the Ministry of Punishments found out, the concubine had been to the Buddhist hall before and found nothing.
Although Prince Qing's words did not explicitly refer to Prince Cheng, but coupled with various rumors, it also pointed out that Shao Jing's daughter Shao Jie'er had returned to her parents' home with a guilty conscience since the accident. The answer was almost on his lips.
King Cheng took action, and Shao Jie'er acted as an internal response, which allowed the petty official to enter the Prince Qing's mansion silently.
Chu Qing cried hard and felt aggrieved. He only said that if he was being plotted against like this, it would be better to let his mother and concubine go to Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, and he would still be an idler without any title, so as not to be plotted against all the time. Ever since I came out of Yuhui Nunnery, I have been in a state of panic.
In front of the civil and military officials of the court, Chu Qing burst into tears and knelt down in the Jinluan Hall.
Many veterans looked at it with sadness. They must be the flesh and blood of the late emperor. Now that they have fallen into such a situation, it is really heartbreaking. Many veterans secretly looked at King Chen who was standing on the stage. This is the former emperor. The emperor's most orthodox successor is also His Highness who has always been taken care of by the emperor. He is the one whom the veterans admire the most.
In the past, when King Chen was in poor health, they had no idea but
I want King Chen to survive safely. As for other things, how can I dare to think about it? With King Chen’s body, even if he sits on the throne, he may not live long. He is not as good as other emperors, at least they are healthy. Healthy.
Now that King Chen is in good health and can advance and retreat in a controlled manner, King Yue and King Zhou, who were originally optimistic, have not reconciled. Although some things have been concealed, many people are well-informed and know that King Yue and King Zhou are fighting. Each time, it was all for a woman, and this woman eventually became the emperor's woman, causing the royal family to lose its dignity.
The only good thing about it is that the woman is dead.
On the surface, he is not as orthodox as King Chen, and in private his character is the same. Many people secretly feel that King Chen, who is in good health, is the most suitable one.
At this time, Prince Qing had something to do, and many people's eyes secretly fell on Chu Liuchen.
Chu Liuchen stood in front of the stairs without saying a word, his eyes were calm, and he didn't say a word. He listened quietly to Chu Qing's crying, his eyes were quiet, and there was no emotion at all.
He was still calm at this time, but the emperor was furious and immediately announced that Prince Cheng, who never went to court very often, would come to the palace.
When they arrived at the main hall, Zhang Xiang and Wen Xiang asked King Cheng again and again. Since King Cheng had been prepared, he was almost stopped. In the end, the answer was a little reluctant. The emperor was furious and cursed King Cheng. The zhezi was thrown down and hit King Cheng on the head, breaking King Cheng's head.
Then he demoted the title of King Cheng to Prince Cheng, just like Chu Qing. The crime was that he was too close to Shao Jing. The two people actually had a good personal relationship. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. They had a good personal relationship with such a vicious person. It was not a good thing in the first place, and there was also the issue of not caring for the younger generation, which refers to the conflict between him and Chu Qing.
Another one was disrespecting his elders, saying that when the Queen Mother was in hospital, he still interacted with Shao Jing and enjoyed their leisurely travels together.
There is no direct evidence against Prince Cheng, but the sum of these charges is enough for the emperor to lower Prince Cheng's title. Especially when the Queen Mother is ill, she is so leisurely and the Emperor has to visit the Queen Mother every day. However, King Cheng had no filial piety and ignored the Queen Mother's kindness to him.
All the accusations made King Cheng angry and his nose was crooked. He wanted to visit the Queen Mother every day. This had to be agreed by the emperor. Besides, he was in the name of Qingxiu, so how could he go to pay respect to the Queen Mother every day.
If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother without words!
But Prince Cheng didn’t dare to make a fuss. The more trouble this caused, the harder it would be to deal with. If he wasn’t careful, he might get himself into trouble. In the case of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, whoever got into trouble would be unlucky. Prince Cheng would not make a mistake because of a small mistake. big.
Although the emperor has no evidence to prove that he did it, he also has no evidence to say that he definitely did not do it.
King Cheng now became King Cheng. He was deprived of his title and fined. He was also asked to meditate in the palace and was not allowed to go anywhere. It was equivalent to being banned. He glared angrily. Chu Qing, who fell there crying, gritted his teeth and endured everything. He could endure whatever he could, even if now was not the time.
Shao Jing was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and knew that Princess Qinghua had been found. He just smiled three times and said nothing more. Even if the people from the Ministry of Punishment were to punish him again, he would not say a word. He didn't say anything, he wanted to die, and he didn't say a word about Princess Qinghua.
