Although Emperor Xuande did not expose the fact that Prince Rui framed the former King of Chu, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Prince Rui in another way.
According to the etiquette system, when an elder brother dies, younger brothers and nephews must wear mourning. The time of mourning varies according to seniority. However, after King Rui was buried, Emperor Xuande granted permission for King Longevity, King Gong and their families and children not to wear mourning for King Rui. Such a decree, It was almost equivalent to telling the world that Prince Rui must have been virtuous during his lifetime and angered his emperor Lao Tzu.
Not many people knew the inside story, and the people speculated whether it was because Prince Rui did not manage his wives and concubines well, and Emperor Xuande thought that his son's death was too embarrassing to be angry. Song Jianing was in the palace and heard some gossip. She also tried to think about the emperor's father-in-law's mind, but she didn't have any clues, but what did it matter if the truth was? It is enough that her longevity king is not mixed, she is still the immortal figure in her heart.
Facts have proved that the prince did not harm anyone, Song Jianing was happy, but also secretly felt guilty for his suspicions. If you make a mistake, you have to make up for it. Song Jianing didn't dare to confess his mistake, so he could only try to make up for it. During the day, Zhao Heng went to the palace as an errand, and she immersed herself in making summer clothes for him. When Zhao Heng came back in the evening, Song Jianing served him harder than before. No matter how hard he tried, she suffered, her cheeks were red and her almond eyes were like rain.
With her like this, Zhao Heng almost wanted to be promoted to immortal.
"Aren't you afraid?" The crescent moon was hanging high outside the window, and inside the tent, Zhao Heng hugged the little princess who seemed to have just been fished out of the water, and teased with a hoarse voice. Sitting before, she was yelling no, it was too deep.
Song Jianing buried it in his shoulder, and slowly stretched out a finger. Once it was okay, she would be afraid again.
Zhao Heng smiled and grabbed her finger. At that moment, Zhao Heng suddenly thought of Prince Rui.
Peony flower died, didn't Prince Rui just take Chen Xiu's poison by mistake? Zhao Heng was still dissatisfied with the early death of Prince Rui, and felt that Prince Rui was too cheap, but now, the whole world knows that Prince Rui was poisoned by a concubine. Years seem to be fine.
Wenxiang Nephrite was in his arms, playing with Song Jianing's long soft hair, Zhao Heng's eyes darkened.
Prince Rui died, and the royal father also knew the truth of his brother being framed. Then, would the royal father let his brother out
big brother...
Since the eldest brother was imprisoned in Nangong, Zhao Heng has not seen his brother or nephews for nearly three years.
Zhao Heng slowly stopped.
When the uncle was expelled from the capital by his father, he and his elder brother were drinking on the boat. The elder brother patted him on the shoulder and said that he would not be a father. Zhao Heng also assured that he would not be the uncle. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye. If the father wants to make up for the elder brother now, if the elder brother restores his title and returns to the court and the commonwealth, will the elder brother still remember the previous appointment on the lake
Zhao Heng suddenly felt a little cold, cold brother, cold himself.
"Your Highness?" Song Jianing felt something was wrong and raised his head from his arms.
Zhao Heng smiled again, hugged her to lie down, and chatted, "Isn't the fourth one about to give birth?"
It turned out to be because of this, Song Jianing was relieved, and said, "Ten more days." Li Mulan told her the date, the end of April.
Zhao Heng nodded and coaxed her to sleep.
On April 17th, good news came from Prince Gong's mansion that Li Mulan became a man in one fell swoop.
Zhaozhao was more excited than anyone else, and Yang Niang personally took her to see the new brother of the fourth uncle's house. Brother You was the follower of the elder sister, and he would definitely follow the elder sister wherever she went. The sister and brother begged her together, but Song Jianing couldn't resist. Anyway, she and Li Mulan kissed, and it was nothing to rush over to visit, so they ordered a carriage to be prepared, and the mother-in-law set off happily.
But Song Jianing never imagined that the carriage of King Shou's Mansion looks like a light carriage, but it is guarded by eight highly skilled guards in secret. This is only in the capital. If Song Jianing leaves the capital... Not only will the number of secret guards increase, but her Shou Prince will also personally accompany.
The good news also spread to the Princess Mansion.
Princess Duanhui and Prince Gong had a good time when they were young, but when Prince Gong married Li Mulan, who had a good relationship with Song Jianing, Princess Duanhui was not very happy to walk with Prince Gong's mansion. Knowing that Li Mulan had given birth to a son, Princess Duanhui did not ridicule or envy, her beautiful eyes aimed at the inner room, only her cousin who had reunited soon was in her heart. Cousin had a scar on the left side of his face, but he still couldn't hide his sternness and nobleness. He was tall and mighty, and Princess Duanhui couldn't help being moved.
She wanted to have a baby with her cousin, she was his wife, as she should have been.
It was getting dark, and the maids withdrew with the foot-washing water. Princess Duanhui closed the door of the inner room, and the windows were closed tightly, so she walked to the bed and called softly. During the day, she stayed in the outer room, Guo Xiao could sit in the inner room to rest and read, and the maids followed, and Guo Xiao hid under the bed for the time being.
Guo Xiao has even lived in the old forest in the deep mountains, so how could he care about this little suffering
He silently leaned out of the bed, and before he got up, he noticed the strangeness of Princess Duanhui in front of him. A few nights ago, Princess Duanhui's middle clothes were very tight, covering everything that should be covered, but tonight, Princess Duanhui only wore a tulle nightdress. A pair of slender calves are incomparably clear, faintly hazy, adding to the temptation.
Guo Xiao frowned, his eyes fell, and when he got up, he quickly glanced at Princess Duanhui and found that there was more exposed on her face. Guo Xiao immediately turned around and said with his back to her, "Cousin, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Princess Duanhui hugged him from behind, stood on tiptoe and put both hands on his strong shoulders, her face fascinated against him and confessed: "Cousin, I miss you so much, we have been married for so long, I've waited so long for you, I don't want to wait any longer, I want to have a baby for you."
I want to cherish it more when I have lost it. Princess Duanhui is not afraid of pain. At this moment, she just wants to be his woman.
"Cousin..." As if intoxicated, Princess Duanhui turned to Guo Xiao and turned to him to take off his clothes.
Guo Xiao is young, strong and energetic, and he has never slept with a woman. Now, in the dead of night, when Princess Duanhui, who is beautiful, handsome and passionate, takes the initiative to seek love, it is impossible for him not to respond. His breathing became heavier and his muscles were tense. The moment he clenched his fists, he might have picked up Princess Duanhui and walked to the bed. A shadow suddenly appeared in Guo Xiao's mind.
After entering Shu, he had coerced the man to make him a sachet, and she procrastinated and handed it to him expressionlessly. Guo Xiao was very happy, and greedily grabbed her hand and pulled him into his arms. She struggled with a pale face, her brows were furrowed, her almond eyes stared at him in fear and anger, and called him Guo Xiao coldly.
Guo Xiao Guo Xiao, she may not even know how nice his name is when he shouted it out of her mouth.
Can you wait until the day when she is willing to call him
Guo Xiao didn't know, but he still wanted to wait and try. If he could wait, her smile would be able to offset all the hardships he had suffered. With her in his head, thinking of her in his heart, the man who was just ready to go, suddenly restrained all his desires, and his body was as calm as water.
Princess Duanhui froze and looked down in disbelief, why, she clearly felt it, why...
"Cousin, I'm afraid that you will be pregnant and people will find out." Holding the frozen Princess Duanhui into his arms, Guo Xiao said with restraint, bowing his head and kissing Princess Duanhui's ear profile, using this to prove that he also wanted, "King Shou hasn't fallen yet. As soon as you show your pregnancy, he will definitely guess that I am back. At that time, he will murder both of your mothers."
As if pouring cold water on her head, Princess Duanhui's desire also faded. She subconsciously covered her stomach. After she was afraid, she felt a strong hatred for Zhao Heng and Song Jianing in her heart.
"If you endure it, there will be a chance." Guo Xiao patted her on the back soothingly, his low voice inaudible: "For you, and for the children."
Princess Duanhui gritted her teeth: "Cousin, don't worry, I understand."
If Zhao Heng and Song Jianing don't die for a day, she and her cousin will never have peace.
With hatred in her heart, Princess Duanhui wanted to go to Prince Gong's house to celebrate the third ceremony. After seeing Song Jianing, she taught a small lesson, but Guo Xiao discouraged her. Emperor Xuande, it's best not to go anywhere. Princess Duanhui listened to him, lived quietly in the princess mansion, and secretly practiced her ability to poison in various occasions.
She was pretending to have lost her husband. In another mansion in the capital, someone really missed her deceased husband and hoped that her husband was still alive.
Uncle Yong'an, Guo Xiao's direct mother's family, the Tan family.
Tan Xiangyu cried and knelt in front of her mother, holding Aunt Tan's leg and begging for money: "Mother, you married me to the border back then, where it was poor and cold, I endured it, Hu'er father died in battle, and I too Bear with it, but Hu'er is my lifeblood, I can't just watch him die... Mother, I beg you, give me another ten taels of silver, just ten taels... "
She cried so embarrassedly, like a beggar, Aunt Tan covered her mouth, her heart hurting like a knife.
At that time, her daughter was like a flower and jade, and many children of big families came to propose marriage. It was Guo Xiao, her nephew who was clinging to the imperial government, and also moved her daughter's heart. Entering the palace draft, the daughter was confused and boldly poisoned Song Jianing, which caused the Tan family to completely cut off the relationship with the government of the state.
Later, it was my nephew's idea to let my daughter marry at the border gate, and my son-in-law was also interested in my nephew. It was good, but who would have thought that the situation changed, and the nephew died in the battle, and the son-in-law also died
Life in the frontier was difficult, and her daughter took her grandson to her parents’ home. Aunt Tan sincerely welcomed her and took care of her grandson’s pain. However, the good times didn’t last long. The five-year-old grandson suddenly became ill at the beginning of the year and had to be raised with ginseng. In the past few months, almost all of Aunt Tan's private house money has been given to her daughter, and the rest is with her son, who is not married yet...
With her son on one side and her grandson on the other, Aunt Tan was devastated.
"It's all Guo Boyan's fault, he's a wolf-hearted dog, he's not a human being!" Holding her daughter, Aunt Tan cursed hoarsely, accusing Guo Boyan of being fascinated by Lin's mind, refusing to see her, and unwilling to lend her money. As for whether Guo Boyan had any difficulties, Aunt Tan would not think about it at all.
Tan Xiangyu doesn't hate Guo Boyan, she only knows that her mother doesn't want to give her money, without money, there is no ginseng, without ginseng, her tiger...
Tan Xiangyu stopped crying and stared blankly at the table legs in front of her.
It's no use crying, she has to find a way to borrow money, her mother won't give it to her, and her unpromising brother won't give it to her. She can't enter the palace. The kind-hearted cousin Tingfang is far away. Who can I find? The Tan family's reputation has long been stinky, and high-level mansions without friendship can't be counted on. Among the people she knows...
Tan Xiangyu suddenly thought of Song Jianing, Song Jianing is the princess, and when her former sisters went to ask for it, Song Jianing wouldn't give even one hundred and ten taels of silver, right
Thinking together, Tan Xiangyu pushed away the hypocritical mother, rushed back to the side yard to wash and dress up, put on her only 90% new dress, and wanted to take her son to borrow money. Aunt Tan rushed over and learned about her daughter's plan. Although Aunt Tan didn't hold out hope, what if? In case Song Jianing was really given because of her reputation, her grandson would be saved, and she would not have to pay any more.
"Cry a lot when you get there, all mothers are soft-hearted, and the princess will help Hu'er." Aunt Tan instructed diligently when she brought her daughter to the door.
Are all mothers soft-hearted
Tan Xiangyu looked at her mother mockingly.
Aunt Tan felt guilty and withdrew her hand in embarrassment.
The carriage galloped, turning east and west, and soon came to the street where Shouwang's mansion was, and finally stopped in front of the main entrance of Shouwang's mansion. Tan Xiangyu got out of the car with her sick son in her arms and begged to see the princess. The guard looked at her and went in to report to the steward. How can someone who can be the steward of Shouwang's manor not know that the princess was hurt by Tan Xiangyu back then
"Go away, don't make a sound." The steward said coldly.
The guard understood, and went back to the door without talking nonsense. He directly covered the mouths of Tan Xiangyu and his wife, put them into the carriage, and threw a threat before letting go. Tan Xiangyu has seen King Shou Wang and personally experienced King Shou's ruthlessness. Tan Xiangyu did not dare to make trouble, but just looked at the majestic Shou Wang Mansion outside the car window, thinking that Song Jianing was only a widow's daughter, whose status was far inferior to her, but she lived a better life than her. Thousands of times, Tan Xiangyu tightened the veil.
If I had known that today, during the draft, she should have mixed something in the medicine given by her cousin to completely destroy Song Jianing.
Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, interrupting Tan Xiangyu's jealousy.
cousin, cousin.
Tan Xiangyu's eyes lit up little by little, it was a kind of light that revenge was about to succeed.
Song Jianing is a princess, so she really can't do anything about it, but if Princess Duanhui knew that the deceased husband she missed every night had been seduced by Song Jianing long ago, with Princess Duanhui's temper, wouldn't she target Song Jianing
"Go to the Princess' Mansion!" Tan Xiangyu ordered in an angry voice through the curtain of the car.
The coachman listened, thought about the location of the princess' mansion, and quickly adjusted the direction.
The Princess Mansion, like Shouwang Mansion, is located in the outer city. When Tan Xiangyu came to ask for an appointment, Princess Duanhui was leading her maid to try on new clothes in the front yard. When her cousin came back, she was also in the mood to dress up.
"Princess, Tan Xiangyu asked to see her, saying that she was going to tell you a secret, which is related to the concubine."
Princess Duanhui almost forgot about Tan Xiangyu, and it took a while before she remembered.
Of course, Princess Duanhui didn't like other women who coveted her cousin, but she was curious about Tan Xiangyu's secret, so she had Tan Xiangyu brought to the hall.
Not long after Tan Xiangyu stepped into the Princess Mansion, the dark whistle reported the matter to the Lord Shou, who was on duty in Zhongshu Province.
Zhao Heng was playing chess alone, and Eunuch Fu bent down and whispered.
Zhao Heng nodded slightly, continued to move, and followed himself.
Eunuch Fu stood aside, and suddenly he couldn't see through his prince. Not long after Prince Rui was buried, news came from the eyeliner installed in the Princess Mansion, saying that Princess Duanhui's meal size had become larger, and Eunuch Fu, who had been wary of Guo Xiao's entry into Beijing, immediately guessed that Guo Xiao must have gone to Princess Duanhui, after all, at this juncture , Guo Boyan would not help his son, only Princess Duanhui gave up on Guo Xiao.
He could guess, not to mention the prince, Eunuch Fu thought that the prince would send people to encircle and suppress it, but for half a month, the prince has not moved.
There was a crisp ding-dong sound in his ear, and Eunuch Fu raised his eyes to see that there was a single black piece in the red sandalwood chess box that was empty just now. Immediately after, Eunuch Fu saw Wang Ye pick up a white stone, put it lightly on the edge of the chess box, move it one point to the left, the white stone will fall on the table, and to the right, it will be accompanied by the black stone.
Eunuch Fu suddenly realized.
In the Princess Mansion, Princess Duanhui stared at Tan Xiangyu, who was kneeling on the ground, and understood, her eyes were first full of anger, and finally turned into desolation.
That taste, like falling into the abyss, dark and dark.
