Lily pursed her lips and looked a little bewildered: "But the young master is not in Phoenix Terrace now!"
Hong Ying was surprised, and looked at her shaking his head in shock: "How could it be? The young master has been at Phoenix Terrace all the time. At this time, could he dare to go out and play?"
Even if he wanted to go out and have fun, no one dared to go out and set up a trap. Everyone knew that something had happened in the capital.
Lily lowered her head and whispered in a low voice, "I only know that he went out with the prince consort this morning and hasn't come back yet."
After they finished talking, they fell silent. Not knowing what to say next, they just closed their eyes and sat there in a daze.
Just a while ago, when Chu Jingxing had not yet received the order from King Linjiang brought by Hu Changshi and others, saying that he would be deprived of his position as crown prince, they still felt like they were in heaven.
They are the dowry maids of Princess Xianrong, and sooner or later they will have to serve Chu Jingxing.
Chu Jingxing is the prince of the royal palace. He is handsome and does not have the scandalous deeds of other playboys such as eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He is a perfect candidate.
Isn't it better to follow him than to go out with those guys
Although everyone was a little panicked after the incident of depriving the crown prince, they did not think that this matter was important because, firstly, Chu Jingxing was still the flesh and blood of Prince Linjiang after all, and secondly, Princess Chang'an would always help in it.
I just thought that the prince must be very angry, and when he comes back, he will naturally not do anything to Chu Jingxing.
It was not until this incident happened that they vaguely realized that Chu Jingxing was probably finished.
They are just maids, of course they don't know any big secrets.
But these past few days, Lady Xianrong was feeling dizzy and sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. Sometimes she would throw things and curse at people, and they could vaguely hear some of what was going on.
Knowing that this time it was Chu Jingxing and Princess Chang'an who set up the trap, the Empress wanted to launch a coup, kill Concubine Peng De and the fifth prince while the Saint was not in the palace, and then set up explosives in the imperial mausoleum to blow up Emperor Longqing and others inside.
If he couldn't be killed by the explosion, Emperor Longqing would naturally not live long after he came out. You know, what he cares most about now is his offspring. If this coup is successful, it means that the Fifth Prince and the unborn baby in Concubine Lin's belly will both die.
What else does Emperor Longqing hope for
Lady Xianrong repeated these words to Prince Consort Yuan over and over again. As personal maids serving at his side, they had heard them so many times that they naturally understood them.
It turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess is so ambitious that she even wants to push Chu Jingxing to the throne in order to gain the upper hand.
But it’s just as the prince consort said.
Where in the world is there such a good thing
If it were so easy to destroy an emperor, the imperial court would have been in chaos long ago.
Although Emperor Longqing is now incompetent, he still holds the title of the orthodox emperor. As long as he has not committed any serious mistakes, no one wants any changes to the throne.
After all, standing behind him is not himself, but the interests of a large number of people.
However, Hongying and Lily only heard these words from the prince consort when he was explaining things to the county lady; they themselves actually did not understand anything at all.
But one thing is clear.
That means Her Royal Highness the Princess' plan is likely to fail.
After all, compared with the majestic Imperial Guards of the past few days, they seem to have disappeared since this morning.
What will happen if Her Royal Highness the Princess's plan fails
The two looked at each other and saw the fear in the other person's face.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe, who was far away in the Earl's Mansion, couldn't even cry. There was no news about Master Lin since last night. In the morning, she went to see the wife of the Commander of the Jinwu Guards, Marquis Ping'an. She really had nowhere else to turn to, so she came to ask the wife of Marquis Ping'an to let Master Lin go.
What about even covering up for him and letting him go back home
She never competed for fame and fortune again, nor did she push her son out to seek wealth and fame again.
Grandma Lin looked at her silently and said softly, "Grandma, I want to go home."
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe immediately jumped up, glanced at her, frowned and asked, "Go home?!"
Grandma Lin and the wife of the Qinghe Earl were aunt and niece, and both of them were surnamed Ying. When they heard that she wanted to go home, they sneered: "Why? Are you scared now?"
Grandma Lin was indeed scared.
She glanced at the wife of the Qinghe Earl, closed her eyes and whispered, "Mom, wake up!"
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe raised her voice and cursed, then she mercilessly reached out and poked Grandma Lin in the face: "That's your husband! Now he is trapped, and as his wife, you don't even want to save him, and you want to go home? What do you want to do by going home at this moment?!"
Grandma Lin took a few steps back after being poked, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and started crying. She rolled into the arms of Mother Lin beside her and buried her head in tears. After crying for a while, she said, "I told you not to get involved in this kind of wealth and excitement, but you just wouldn't listen! Who brought this disaster upon yourself? Did I let him sneak into the Imperial Guards and set fire to Concubine De and the Fifth Prince?! Did I let him burn Concubine Lin Shu to death when he had the chance?!"
The veins on the forehead of the wife of the Earl of Qinghe bulged. She almost vomited blood after hearing what she said. She stood up and scolded: "You are crazy! You said anything out loud. Do you want to live?!"
life
How long can this life last
Grandma Lin started crying, got up and kowtowed to the wife of the Earl of Qinghe: "Mother! I finally got a son, please let me go! If we divorce, maybe I won't be implicated..."
She is already scared.
Whenever Lady Qinghe wanted to fight with Young Master Lin, she never won.
But she just couldn't let go of that anger and wanted to fight to the death.
It was just a minor incident before, but now it has been involved in a rebellion. Emperor Longqing now regards Concubine Peng De and the Fifth Prince as his own eyes. How could he let go of these treacherous ministers and villains who curry favor with the powerful and change their side
Not to mention Concubine Lin Shu and Young Master Lin, even if they hadn't been involved, this crime would have been enough to crush the entire Qinghe Marquis's Mansion.
But she didn't want to die like this.
Her children are still so young, and she has never thought of committing such a treasonous act. It was all because of Lady Qinghe and Mr. Lin's greed. She had tried to persuade them and made a fuss, but neither of them took her seriously. Now that the time has come, they want her to die with them. Isn't this too unfair
