In a blink of an eye, October is here.
The weather has turned colder completely, and the chrysanthemums in the Wen family's yards are in full bloom.
The prince no longer summoned Wen Qingfang, and the Wen family's excitement gradually began to calm down.
October 17th is the memorial day of Empress Zheng.
Preparations have begun everywhere in the palace.
Those who had previously petitioned the court to appoint another queen also kept silent.
Emperor Shunde was in a very bad mood, and everyone who went to court was cautious every time.
But there is one exception - Wei Zheng.
On the fifth day of October, Wei Zheng made a trick and impeached Yunfeng, the prefect of Kangcheng.
Several crimes were charged simultaneously, and a comprehensive range of evidence was presented at the same time.
After Emperor Shunde read the excerpt, he was furious. He immediately appointed Lei Xiao, the censor Zhongcheng, and Lu Chengfei, the loyal general of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, as imperial envoys, and rushed to Kangcheng.
This incident had a great impact. Yunfeng was recommended to the position by the prince.
In less than a year, something so serious happened.
The courtiers from King Ning's faction took the opportunity to impeach the courtiers from Prince Edward's faction.
What's more, the Wen family was directly mentioned.
On the occasion of Empress Zheng's memorial day, she actually wanted to add a concubine to her.
Emperor Shunde left the prince alone that day. No one knows what happened specifically.
However, the prince will stay in the palace from now on.
The Crown Princess went to the palace in person to ask for an audience, but was rejected.
The seventh day of October.
In the east courtyard of the Wen family, Wen Qingzhu listened quietly to Jasmine's report.
"The eldest madam is still with the Wan family. She wants to inquire about the prince's situation. I heard that madam Wan went to ask for an audience with Concubine Xia, but she was stopped by the concubine's people before she even entered the prince's house."
Wen Qingzhu picked the chrysanthemums picked by Lu Tao and said slowly: "At this time, the Prince's Mansion itself cannot be protected. In order not to be implicated, no one is seen."
"Now the lord, the eldest lord and the eldest lady are all trying to find out the prince's news, and whether they can go to the palace. They are very anxious now. The lord and the eldest have returned, and they seem to have given up. "
Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "My grandfather and uncle may give up, but it is impossible for Sixth Sister."
Jasmine suddenly said: "It's strange to say that Miss Six actually stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. Could it be that she already has something to do?"
"Yes, she is afraid that she has already thought of a way, but she lacks someone who can take her into the palace." Wen Qingzhu thought of Wen Qingfang's recent actions and probably understood her plan.
"She actually thought of a way?" Lu Tao picked another handful of chrysanthemums.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "That's not true. Haven't you noticed that my two mothers-in-law have been a lot more diligent these days?"
Everyone turned around and saw that the two mothers-in-law were eager to help Mother Ji.
But after Jasmine's incident happened, Mama Ye tidied up the east courtyard.
Now the mother-in-law is just a handyman in the east courtyard.
Any important work would not be left to the two mothers-in-law.
As for getting close to Wen Qingzhu, it's even less likely to happen.
The two mothers-in-law seemed to see them looking at them and quickly smiled at Wen Qingzhu.
She got up and wanted to come over.
But after taking two steps, the maid in charge of the medicine garden stopped her.
Lu Tao was not happy when he saw her: "This kind of slave who eats the inside and outside of the house should be beaten and sold out. Why is the lady still keeping her?"
"It's okay, she is useful, but the time has not come yet." Wen Qingzhu smiled and continued to pick and choose.
There are many varieties of chrysanthemums planted in the east courtyard, many of which can be used in daily medicine.
After finishing this selection, Wen Qingzhu counted the days. There should be some movement in the big house in the past two days.
Didn’t she know that someone from Dafang came to see her in person
Or will they ask their grandmother to find her
In the afternoon, Wen Qingzhu sat in the study and read.
Outside, Shaoyao walked in quickly.
"Miss, the old lady and Miss Six are here."
Wen Qingzhu picked up the book and turned to lie down on the bed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Liu and Wen Qingfang walked in surrounded by the maids.
"Miss, the old lady and Miss Six are here to see you." Lu Tao said inside, then opened the curtain and led them in.
The little maid in the room quickly brought two lighted cushioned chairs over.
After Mr. Liu came in, Wen Qingzhu put down his book and pretended to get up.
"Just lie down, we just came to see you." There was no trace of concern on Mrs. Liu's face, and her tone was a little stiff.
Wen Qingzhu replied in a low voice: "Thank you, grandma."
After Wen Qingfang helped Liu sit down, she did not follow him, but came to the edge of Wen Qingzhu's bed and sat down.
She held Wen Qingzhu's hand and asked worriedly: "Seventh sister, are you okay? Sixth sister, I'm really sorry for coming to see you so late. My sister was also sick earlier and it didn't take long for her to recover."
"Thank you Sixth Sister for your concern." Wen Qingzhu took out his hand and his tone was extremely cold.
What happened to Concubine Xia that day was either Wen Qingfang's idea or Wen Qingfang and Wan's idea.
Now that Dafang has dared to openly design himself, Wen Qingzhu feels that he doesn't have to be polite.
Wen Qingfang's face immediately started to blame herself: "It turns out that Seventh Sister is still blaming my sister. It's not really that my sister doesn't come to see you, it's just that she really doesn't have time."
Ms. Liu next to her couldn't stand it anymore and asked in a cold voice: "Fang'er is your sister. She was injured before and didn't come to see you. It wasn't intentional. Why are you so mean-spirited! You are completely unlike our Wen family. My daughter, why not imitate your short-lived mother?"
As soon as these words came out, Wen Qingzhu's face darkened visibly.
If Mrs. Liu was looking for trouble with her, she wouldn't bother to waste her time dealing with it.
But Ms. Liu opened her mouth to insult her deceased mother, and Wen Qingzhu couldn't bear it no matter what.
Wen Qingfang, who was sitting in front of Wen Qingzhu, saw it most clearly. She quickly said, "Seventh sister, grandma doesn't mean what you think. She just thinks that as sisters of the Wen family, we should live in harmony."
Wen Qingzhu ignored her at all and just looked at Mrs. Liu quietly: "Grandma, what else do you want from me?! Am I not generous enough? Dong Ling almost killed me! The entire Wen family didn't care, if it weren't for the prince The concubine asked Doctor Fang to take a look at it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see the sun today!”
"You actually spoke to your elders in this tone!" Mrs. Liu immediately stood up and pointed at Wen Qingzhu's face, "Wait! I'm going to find your father right now! See how he educates his daughter!"
One of the reasons why Mrs. Liu has never dared to summon Wen Qingzhu is that Wen Qingzhu was not given an explanation for what happened last time.
Although Concubine Xia's incident has been found to have nothing to do with Dongyuan, it has already passed.
But the fact that Wan asked Dong Ling to shake Wen Qingzhu, which almost caused Wen Qingzhu's death, has never passed.
Mrs. Wan is the eldest wife of the Wen family, and Mrs. Liu cannot touch her.
Later, the prince's expression towards Wen Qingfang gave the Wen family hope, and they would not blame Wen Qingzhu.
I just think it’s all because Wen Qingzhu’s body is too delicate!
Liu's original plan was to let time slowly smooth over this matter.
But something happened to the prince, which also affected the Wen family.
Now everyone in the Wen family is worried about Wen Qingfang and whether she can successfully enter the Prince's Mansion.
The road to Concubine Xia was dead, and the Wen family planned to wait.
But Wen Qingfang mentioned that she could ask Wen Qingzhu for help.
After all, Wen Qingzhu has a very good relationship with County Master Pingshu.
On Empress Zheng's memorial day, Princess Wuyang and Princess Pingshu will definitely enter the palace.
"Grandma! Seventh Sister really didn't mean it! Don't be angry!" Wen Qingfang quickly got up and went to pull Wen Qingzhu away.
The two of them waited for Wen Qingzhu to speak.
But they waited for a long time, and Wen Qingzhu never spoke.
Wen Qingfang quietly looked back and saw Wen Qingzhu looking at them quietly with a sneer on his lips.
"Seventh sister..." Wen Qingfang called her softly.
Wen Qingzhu finally spoke: "Sixth sister, grandma wants to find father to teach me a lesson, so let grandma do it! My attitude is indeed not good!"
Wen Qingfang was speechless.
Mrs. Liu was pretending to scare Wen Qingzhu, but when she saw that she was not fooled, she could only turn around angrily: "Okay! That's the attitude of Wen Qingzhu, right? The Wen family feeds you with good food and drink! You You’re just so disobedient and unfilial, aren’t you!”
Seeing this, Wen Qingfang quickly followed the show and said: "Seventh sister, please apologize to grandma quickly! You don't mean it! If grandma is so angry that she is broken, you-"
"Shut up!" Wen Qingzhu couldn't stand these two hypocritical people in front of him anymore.
Her voice was so loud that it almost pierced their eardrums.
Liu and Wen Qingfang were both startled.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them indifferently: "Can you please show some acting skills?! If grandma doesn't give me an explanation for what happened last time, I won't come to the east courtyard anymore!"
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Liu was completely angry when she was told this and slammed the crutch in her hand.
Wen Qingzhu turned away his eyes and told Lu Tao: "See you off!"
"How dare you!" Ms. Liu was so furious that she yelled again, her whole body shaking.
She originally wanted to yell, but she couldn't hold her breath in her heart.
He gathered up the energy to curse loudly, but the air in his chest didn't come out.
His whole face turned green and he fell backward.
Wen Qingfang quickly went to help Liu, but she was weak.
Mrs. Liu was not supported, so she fell down on the back of her head!
"Grandma!" Wen Qingfang never expected that things would turn out like this, and she immediately screamed.
Seeing this, Lu Tao hurriedly shouted: "Miss Sixth! Why are you pushing the old lady!"
Lu Tao's voice was much louder than Wen Qingfang's, which immediately startled the servants outside.
Peony and jasmine have been waiting outside for a long time.
Hearing the movement inside, Aunt Du Songyan ran in first.
They all blocked Mrs. Liu. Aunt Du, who followed behind her, couldn't see Mrs. Liu and was worried.
Lu Tao quickly stepped forward and pushed Wen Qingfang away.
"Miss Sixth, don't hurt the old lady!"
Wen Qingfang lost her balance, fell backwards, hit the back of her head on the chair, and fainted immediately.
"Miss Sixth! Why did you push the old lady!" Jasmine followed.
Shaoyao next to her secretly gave the old lady a pill while no one behind her could see it.
Seeing that Aunt Du had come over, Shaoyao got out of the way.
She walked up to Wen Qingfang, only to find that Wen Qingfang's eyelashes trembled, as if she was about to open her eyes.
Shaoyao rushed forward and cried, "Miss Sixth! What's wrong with you! Why did you faint!"
Wen Qingfang had half-opened her eyes and was startled when she saw Shaoyao's man rushing towards her.
When her voice was about to come out, Shaoyao quickly covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands, and at the same time forced the medicine bowl down.
Wen Qingfang immediately struggled desperately, but Shaoyao was proficient in pharmacological acupuncture points and turned his hand to press Wen Qingfang's halo point, causing her to faint.
When Grandma Du saw the old lady lying on the ground, she immediately shouted: "Old lady! What's wrong with you? What the hell is going on?!"
"Miss Sixth pushed the old lady on purpose!" Lu Tao immediately pointed at Wen Qingfang and said.
Song Yan, who was behind him, felt that something was wrong. He didn't dare to say or ask more questions, and subconsciously looked towards Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting on the bed, said quickly: "Go and call the doctor! The fact that Sixth Sister deliberately pushed the old lady away must not be spread out!"
"Oh oh oh!" Song Yan understood immediately, ran out to call the doctor, and spread the news at the same time.
