As soon as the manager's words fell, a heart jumped to his throat. The steward held his breath for fear that the four princes would be furious.
Xiao Yu listened, and did not speak for a long time, but a hurricane and waves were already brewing in his eyes.
The steward has lived for fifty years, and hasn't experienced any scenes? I even watched the wind and waves all over, but facing Xiao Yu, I still felt a heavy burden in my heart.
Without him, Xiao Yu's impression has always been lenient and elegant, but only those who have been serving for many years know that Xiao Yu is harsh and does not allow the servants in the palace to make any mistakes. For so many years, the steward has never made such a big omission.
The steward lowered his head, not daring to look at the expressions of the four princes.
Xiao Yu had faint signs of anger. Although he was still silent, the steward knew that what he was about to face was already torrential rain.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and tried to restrain himself so as not to roar out.
"How many people know about this?" A sentence seemed to squeeze out of the teeth.
The steward felt that the back of his neck was cold, and his words were a little uncomfortable. "It was discovered by the little maid who delivered meals to Ms. Cheng. The little maid was so young that she opened the door and was so scared that she screamed. It happened that the two guard women were not there, and another maid came in. They didn't know the severity, go I found a doctor..." The manager's voice gradually weakened.
"So, is this thing known to everyone in the mansion now?"
"Yes..." The steward was almost buried in the ground.
Xiao Yu suddenly sneered a few times, her face was already cold and frosty.
"Is she dead?" Xiao Yu's voice seemed gloomy and cold.
The manager immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Yu's words. In Xiao Yu's mouth, Cheng Yao was obviously already dead.
Although his hands had long been stained with the blood of many innocent people, when he thought of Cheng Yao, he was the concubine who had given birth to the fourth prince and had just given birth. The fourth prince did not blink his eyes when he said this. The four princes are clearly still so young, they are already so cruel... It is not difficult to imagine how cruel the future four princes will be.
Guan Shi reacted instantly, "Ms. Cheng suffered from bleeding after her childbirth and died."
"You have to deal with this matter, the seal that should be sealed, if you let this king know that there is a whiff of news, you and your family's heads, don't want it."
Hearing the threats from the four princes, the steward shrank, and hurriedly replied: "The minion knows that the minion will not worry your Royal Highness."
The steward retired immediately.
Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows, only to feel that his headache was about to burst.
He knew that with countless pairs of eyes staring at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, it would be difficult if this matter did not leak to the outside.
The Yanxi Palace was so austere, Xiao Zhuo had fornication with the little court lady next to Gao Guifei, and the little court lady had a body and was dealt with by Gao Guifei again. Although Concubine Gao tried his best to erase the traces of this incident, it still spread out quietly.
There has never been an impermeable wall in this world.
Xiao Yu believed that his father was so suspicious that it was impossible for him to be ignorant of this matter. The reason why the father did not show any dissatisfaction with the concubine Gao's mother and son, but it was also because his heart was biased towards the concubine Gao's mother and son.
The father may be extra tolerant of what the second prince did, but for him, he would not be so tolerant.
Xiao Yu could already foresee how the emperor would be furious at him.
The steward walks in Cheng Yao's yard.
After one incident, Cheng Yao's yard has been closely guarded inside and outside.
The two mothers stood at the door, the one who always had a high temperament
, Showing a rare agitated mood, even walking around, like a headless fly.
Seeing Guan Shi, the mother strode over, "Guan Shi Feng, what did the Fourth Highness say?"
The steward put his hand in front of his neck and made a "click" gesture.
The mother was unstable and almost fell.
Her face was earthy, and her eyes were full of fear and timidity.
The fourth prince said that, he must have given a deadly order.
The mother suddenly fell to the ground limply, her lips murmuring, she had no thoughts in her mind, she just kept saying "It's over..."
The steward ignored her and stepped into Cheng Yao's room.
There is still a strong smell of blood in the room, and the light is very dark. The bed curtain was not pulled up, and it was the first time the steward saw this concubine's room. After a few steps, only her pale face was seen. The ** Cheng Yao was as thin as wood, as if she was about to run away when the wind blew.
The manager looked at her slender neck, shook her head, said nothing, and turned to go out.
A row of tall guards stood on either side of the door, all watching the steward.
Manager sighed heavily, "Let's do it."
The guards walked in.
The bloody smell from the tip of the nose has not gone away.
The fact that Xiao Yu and the ten princesses of Yu State were relaxing in the street together has quickly spread into the palace.
The Queen Mother was playing against Xiao Tan, and she smiled unclearly upon hearing this.
Xiao Tan asked incomprehensibly: "How could the Fourth Highness and the princess of Yu Kingdom come together?"
The queen mother chuckled, "The Aijia has always felt that the fourth child is hidden very deeply, and it is too forbearing. I didn't expect to lose my breath so quickly."
"The imperial grandmother is saying that the four princes also have ambitions for the throne?" Xiao Tan was not a stupid person. After hearing the words of the queen mother, she immediately understood that her thoughts had been disrupted, and the chess pieces in her hand could not fall. "The Four Highnesses clearly don't have any advantages. There is a second Highness who has more advantages above him..."
"As long as you are a prince, there is no one who is ambitious about that position." The queen mother interrupted Xiao Tan softly, "You are young, and you don't understand how attractive that position is. The Lamentation family came from the time of the Five Kings Rebellion. Yes, for the throne, brothers and sisters, father and son cannibalism. These things are not uncommon. The fourth child is just a little smarter than the second, but after all, he is not old enough to do things steadily."
The queen mother had spoken a long time and had no thoughts to play chess anymore, and put the chess pieces in her hand back into the chess basket.
"It seems that for the throne, a bloody storm is inevitable."
Xiao Tan is still a little puzzled, "Grandma, since you said that the fourth majesty is good at disguising, then she is also disguised like that?"
Speaking of Liang Bi, the queen mother laughed, "Liang Bi was not as lifeless as she is now when she was young, and it can even be said that she is a very lively temperament. Only in these years has she become exceptionally silent and quiet."
As for the reason why Liang's personality changed drastically, the Queen Mother did not go on to say, "But what is certain is that these two mothers and children have always had two hearts."
Why do mother and son have two hearts? Xiao Tan didn't know why, but looking at the attitude of the Queen Mother, Xiao Tan probably guessed that this matter is probably a secret matter, so it's better not to inquire about it.
"Now that Liangbi is there, it must not be too peaceful." The queen mother smiled.
As the Queen Mother said, Liang Bi was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and chanting sutras, when she heard the court lady telling her that it was Niang Niang Rong who had come.
Although Liangbi and Rongbi are a little anxious, they don’t usually go to each other.
When visiting the palace, why did Rong Bier come to her today
Liang Bi stood up, gave a few orders, and asked the maid to clean up and change her clothes. The smell of incense on the body, going out to treat guests, after all, is not good.
Half of the hair bun was combed, and another court lady came over, saying that the imperial concubine sent some cloth and silk over.
What's going on here today? She and Concubine Gao have always kept the well water in the river, and they have never been involved. How come Concubine Gao also sent someone over? Liangbi's eyelids jumped more and more, and she was a little timid.
The hair bun was finally combed, and the little palace lady was also a little flustered, standing on the side helplessly.
Since everyone is here, you can't just avoid it, right
Liangbi had to bite the bullet and walk out.
Rong Bi was sitting on a chair with a cup of hot tea in her hand, but it was not difficult to see that Rong Bi had no idea of drinking tea at all, her eyes fell on the floor, seeming to be in a daze. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Rong Bi raised his head, froze for a while, put the teacup on the counter, got up and walked towards Liang Bi.
"Sister Liangbi, why are you so slow to come here, making me wait." Rongbi took Liangbi's hand.
Liangbi could easily hear the sourness in her mouth, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, but is there something urgent?"
Rong Yan looked at the two wives on one side, Liang Bian saw that there were people next to him, Liang Bian recognized at a glance, those two were the wives next to Gao Guifei.
"Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine and empress are so concerned about the concubine, and the concubine feels that the concubine is within five years. It is just that the status of the concubine is humble. It is really not necessary to use such luxurious cloth. The two mamas should take the things they brought back. The concubines will have time to spare. I must go to Yanxi Palace to greet the noble concubine and empress."
Rong Bi's mouth opened. Since she met Liang Bi, she had never seen Liang Bi speak so much.
The two mothers did not expect that Liangmao would speak to them first, and smiled: "Look at what the empress said, our concubine empress said, she has known you for so long and has never given you anything. I really feel sorry for it Now that the fourth princes are about to marry a wife, just prepare some gifts for the future fourth princes and concubines."
Liangma is full of doubts, what is this mother talking about
Before I waited for Liang Bi to say anything, he heard Rong Bi say: "It's hard for the noble concubine to be thoughtful, Liang Bi, I also want to congratulate you on having a daughter-in-law soon."
Liang Bi smiled reluctantly, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Sister, don't make fun of me. You know I'm timid, and you can't bear your jokes like this."
The smile on Rong Bi's face became more and more false, "Sister, don't say that. You are timid, but your son is not timid. The three princes can't do those things."
What did the fourth prince do outside? Liang Bi showed a rare look of horror, stepped back a few steps, his eyes became more and more erratic. "Sister, I don't understand what you say, can you make it clearer."
Rong Bi was too lazy to talk to Liang Bi any more, and said quietly, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, this matter has been spread inside and outside the palace, you will know if you just pull someone over and ask." Turned around and left.
Liang's wife moved her gaze to the two wives in Yanxi Palace, who knew that the two also said: "The imperial concubine is still waiting for the servants to return, and the servants won't be here to disturb Liang's wives." left.
Liang 嫔 sat alone for a while, and then said to the maid who was waiting: "You go out and inquire about this palace."
She didn't know yet, she had become the focus of all the palace concubines' discussions.
