Princess Chang'an finally lost her patience with Wei An's constant harassment. She snorted and laughed, "That's really a strange thing to say. You've been the one causing trouble from the beginning to the end. You're unyielding. What can we do?"
It will be very difficult for Princess Xianrong to live in the presence of so many noble ladies and princesses.
The longer things drag on, the more impressive it will be, and the less beneficial it will be to Lady Xianrong.
Princess Chang'an thought about Chu Jingxing and felt an unbearable headache.
The hustle and bustle outside seemed out of tune with the silence inside. She began to regret coming to attend King Zheng's wedding banquet, and regretted even more that she did not keep a close eye on her daughter.
Thinking about keeping a close eye on her daughter, she thought of Nanny Yuan and couldn't help frowning.
Just when I was in a dilemma, I heard scolding and crying outside the house, which was particularly harsh and conspicuous in such a night.
Prince Zheng's guards soon came in to report that a servant from Princess Chang'an's mansion outside wanted to see him.
Prince Zheng glanced at Princess Chang'an.
Princess Chang'an sneered, "Maybe the banquet is about to end, so the prince consort sent someone to look for me."
It was a satire on the fact that Prince Zheng didn't even go to the wedding to propose a toast. People outside who didn't know might think that he was blinded by lust and didn't even bother to propose a toast to thank the guests.
King Zheng ignored her sarcasm and nodded to the big man.
Nanny Yuan walked in very quickly and stood in front of Princess Chang'an. She bowed to her first, then greeted everyone present. Then she wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked to Lai Mama and asked her, "You said that our county lady instructed you to murder Miss Mei. Do you have any evidence?"
Mother Lai nodded hurriedly: "I know that girl. She has always been following Xianrong County Lady in and out. I have seen her several times..."
Nanny Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to Prince Zheng and Princess Chang'an again, then sighed and said, "That's right.
King Zheng frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"
Facing the coldness and questioning of Prince Zheng, Nanny Yuan was not panicked at all. She took a step back and bowed in a dignified manner: "Just now, our county lady's personal maid Yun Que bribed the servants in the mansion, saying that she was ordered by our eldest princess and the county lady to go back to the princess's mansion to get a cloak... But I have been with the county lady all the time. The county lady clearly came here wearing a thick cloak today, so there is no need to get another one. Besides, the county lady did not order anyone to go back, so I hurried over to check the situation."
She spoke smoothly and naturally, without any stumbling blocks: "When we arrived, we found out that Yun Que had discussed with a servant from our mansion, who was also her brother, and planned to run away. She wanted to find a random place to hide in the night and leave the city at daybreak."
Princess Chang'an immediately understood and asked coldly, "What's going on?!"
Nanny Yuan sighed and shook her head: "Princess, have you forgotten? Yunque's parents worked at Princess Changying's residence..."
Everyone present widened their eyes in surprise.
There are new surprises all the time.
Nanny Yuan shook her head calmly, "After Princess Changying fell into misfortune, the servants in the mansion were sold again. On the way, Yunque's parents died... Because of this, Yunque has always held a grudge against Princess Shouning..."
She sighed, looking very pitiful and regretful: "Yu Que has never been able to turn around, so after coming to the palace today, he was furious when he saw Princess Shouning, and because Princess Shouning had a bad attitude towards the county lady, it added fuel to the fire... So he wanted to make Princess Shouning suffer a little."
Princess Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief in her heart without leaving a trace.
Although she could keep making unreasonable demands to divert attention, this trick was of little use after the old princess and Old Madam Xia spoke one after another. If Nanny Yuan did not come out to rescue, this matter would really be very troublesome.
Nanny Yuan continued, "Because Miss Meiying ate oysters by mistake when she was a guest at our house a while ago and got a rash, and because she heard from the doctor at that time that drinking alcohol after eating oysters might be life-threatening. Yunque had a bad idea and bribed a maid in the palace with 20 taels of silver in his purse, and asked the maid to lure Lai Mama, who was beside Miss Meiying, out, and negotiated the terms..."
She spoke all this without even taking a breath, it was so natural and smooth, as if it really happened.
"She bribed Mama Lai and the maid, and asked the maid to go to the kitchen to get shrimp paste and wine for Mama Lai, who then fed them to Miss Meiying..." Nanny Yuan said in a low voice, "Yuque never thought of taking Miss Meiying's life. She was thinking of blaming this incident on Princess Shouning. If something like this happened during the wedding, the prince would definitely lose face, and everyone would hate Princess Shouning... But later, there was no movement in the bridal chamber for a long time, and after the wet nurse came out, she thought the plan was successful. It was only not long ago that she learned that the prince and the princess had successfully entered the bridal chamber and the ceremony was completed. When she saw that there was no movement for a long time, she felt that something was wrong, so she contacted her brother and wanted to escape..."
The story is really reasonable.
Every detail has been considered.
Although Xianrong County Lady's plan was not well-made and incomplete, she reacted unusually quickly at this moment. She almost immediately covered her face and sobbed: "How could Yun Que do such a thing?!"
Princess Linjiang was stunned. She couldn't say a word in the face of such a reversal.
The reactions of the other people in the room were similar to hers. They felt that the whole thing was weird, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
Princess Chang'an sighed deeply, "So that's how it is!" She touched her daughter's head, and said with some fear and regret, "Asheng was almost blamed. With the situation just now, Asheng almost became the criminal."
She took the initiative to ask: "How is it, where are the Skylarks?"
I'm still a little worried.
If King Zheng insisted on arresting Yunque and torturing him, it is unknown whether Yunque could bear it.
Nanny Yuan lowered her head even more and said sadly, "This girl couldn't get over it. She felt that she had caused trouble for the princess and the county lady, and she was afraid that the prince and the others would investigate, so she committed suicide on the spot... It's really pitiful... Her parents died before..."
Princess Xianrong paused for a moment, and then cried even harder.
King Zheng watched their performance with an expressionless face.
