Family Has a Concubine

He really couldn't wait for the matter of Chu Yunpan, and couldn't help but want to find out something. But about Chu Yunpan's dead aunt, I really can't find out anything, and Jin Linwei is also investigating this matter.

So Emperor Zhengxuan asked the Queen Mother to come out and help find out which bracelet Ye Tang picked.

What he heard was that the bracelet in Ye Tangcai's hand was made by Mrs. Mei! It was given to Old Madam Mei by Empress Xiao.

"In my slave's opinion, what Madam Zhang said should be the truth." Cai Jie said, "If the bracelet is really what Princess Ping said, it was left by Princess Yunxia and passed on to Ye Tangcai, then Ye Tangcai dares to wear it Come out? But she wore it recklessly. The last time the emperor saw the bracelet and asked a few words, she was not in a hurry and continued to wear it afterwards. Obviously its origin was innocent, and she didn't know that It's a sequential thing."

Emperor Zhengxuan nodded, but said again: "Let's wait for Long Xiao to come back first."

As he spoke, Emperor Zhengxuan's body shook suddenly, and Cai Jie was taken aback, and quickly steadied him: "Your Majesty, hurry back to the bedroom!"

Emperor Zhengxuan said, "I'm going to study."

He did not go to court for a few days, and the ministers all sent greetings.

Ruo was fine before, but he was very sensitive to his physical condition after a serious illness, and always felt that the ministers were spying on his health. So he always wants to tell the ministers that his body is very strong!

"By the way, there are still some things I haven't asked clearly in the future. You wait here, and you will come back when you understand after a while." Emperor Zhengxuan said suddenly.

"Yes." Cai Jie bent over and agreed.

...

The Empress Dowager took Qin Shi out of the hall, and came back after dinner.

Mother Kang helped the queen mother to sit down, and the queen mother looked at Qin and mother Zhang who were standing at the bottom: "Recently, the Chu family has a lot of troubles, all because of Laner... that child, I don't know how innocent she was when she was not married. I never thought that after being a wife of the Wu family for a few years, she has become like this, and I don't know why."

Qin's eyes flashed, it was really because of Ge Lan's matter, so she wanted to give them a sweet treat, so she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, that Wu family...even the concubine can beat the aunt in the street, so it can be seen that the inside is a mess. No matter how pure and kind the princess is, if she marries into such a family, she will be infected with bad habits."

Nanny Zhang secretly rolled her eyes at Qin Shi, this is fifty steps laughing at hundred steps!

The Queen Mother nodded, and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "This matter hurt the young master of the Chu family, and also frightened Mrs. Mei. Mother Kang, bring it in."

Mother Kang turned and went out, and after a while, she brought in two court ladies, each of them holding a tray in their hands, and there were several delicate boxes on the red silk cloth, one could tell at a glance that they were expensive medicinal materials , and there are many exquisite silks and satins made by the palace.

"These things, the madam and the nanny will take them back to the young master of the Chu family and the old matriarch." The queen mother said.

As soon as Qin saw these things, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam."

"However, if Mrs. Chu hadn't run to the front of Wu's house to make a fuss, there wouldn't have been a series of incidents." The queen mother glanced at Qin Shi with a little annoyance.

Qin's face froze, and his whole body was not well. Since you want to teach her a lesson, it is best to train her before eating, and then give her gifts to appease her. How can someone give her a gift, but then talk back and say something about her.

"Nurse Zhang wait outside first, the Ai family would like to say something personal to Madam," said the Empress Dowager.

"Yes." Nanny Zhang glanced at Qin Shi with disdain, and walked out.

Qin's face turned green and pale, and he was sent away to teach him a lesson alone, and he had to be dismissed immediately after the lesson, so where would he put his face?

With the departure of Madam Zhang, the whole hall suddenly seemed a little cold. Qin's expression was awkward: "Hehe, ma'am..."

The Empress Dowager picked up a cup of ginseng soup, took a sip, put the small soup cup away, and then looked up at her: "Today, the Ai family really wants to say something personal to Madam."

"Yes." Qin's body was tense, and the smile on his face couldn't hold back.

"Just now Ai's family has already said that you didn't make a scene first, but you became a monster first, and you will become what you are now?" The Queen Mother said.

"Your Majesty...my wife...my wife really likes Ge Lan...that's why Princess Ping begged me a few words, and my heart softened, so I did such stupid things." Qin said.

"Okay!" Not wanting to, the queen mother glanced at her coldly. "Let's make it clear that people don't speak dark words. Now that Marquis Zhenxi is promising, Madam can't bear it. She thinks about how to win him every day. That's why she wants to marry a royal daughter-in-law."

Qin's complexion changed: "Your Majesty... Your wife is not..." This is unkind, and she doesn't want this kind of reputation.

"You don't need to say any more, are you really treating people like idiots?" The queen mother stared at her coldly.

Qin's body trembled slightly with fear.

"Marquis Zhenxi is the number one general of Daqi, and the border defense of Daqi will depend on him for the next few decades." The Queen Mother said coldly.

Qin's heart hated her to death, but the person in front of her was the Queen Mother. She remembered that last year she was resigned from the position of prince and side concubine because of Zhang Manman's deeds. Chu Miaoshu is still waiting to become a queen... If the old hag in front of her speaks another word, then...

"Your Majesty, a minister's wife should... remember." Qin said with a pale face.

The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on her lightly, "The Ai family remembers that Zhen Xihou's aunt passed away very early."

Qin's heart was tightly clenched, she had already apologized, and the old hag still wouldn't let her go! Qin Shi smiled stiffly: "Yes, Sanlang died before he was one year old."

"Since she passed away so early, she doesn't have a biological mother like Chu Jia Erlang. You just treat him well, why bother with all these things? With your behavior, will you be replaced by a loving mother and a virtuous woman?" Queen Mother road.

Qin shi lowered her head, stuttering tiredly: "Going back to the empress dowager, the minister's wife was indeed not a good woman...but...it was actually Sanlang's aunt before..."

"What happened before?" The Empress Dowager looked at her with twinkling eyes.

Qin only wiped away tears, "Sanlang's aunt was born in a brothel. After she got started, she had no rules and no rules. Because of her beauty, she almost killed Feiyang several times. But at that time, I endured it silently. Later, she passed away... ... I can't like Saburo either."

Everyone died, so Qin tried her best to fabricate charges against Aunt Yun.

Anyway, I can't be a poisonous woman, even if I did something wrong, it should be forced.

The queen mother frowned, "Does Zhenxihou look like his aunt?"

"Like." Qin replied quickly, "Sanlang's appearance followed her, it was almost carved out of the same mold... When the minister saw him, she remembered his aunt's past misdeeds, so she ignored him. But Today, the empress dowager taught the minister's wife, and the minister's wife was enlightened, and she will definitely change her mind after returning home." Looking at the queen mother sincerely.

The queen mother smiled: "Brothers and sisters should be like this, mutual understanding, support each other. Alright, you go back first."

Qin shi heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left Shou'an Palace.

After she left, the queen mother turned her head and said, "Go and tell the emperor."

I saw Cai Jie turn out from the screen: "Thank you for today's matter."

The queen mother coughed twice: "What's the matter. But, why does the emperor ask this?"

Emperor Zhengxuan didn't tell the queen mother what he was suspicious of, but only explained how the queen mother asked questions.

"This..." Cai Jie looked puzzled.

If it is suspected that Chu Yunpan is the son of Yunxia, ​​but it is confirmed in the end, but the emperor wants to kill Chu Yunpan, it will appear that the emperor is ruthless, so the emperor does not want to be known, not even the latest people.

"Ahem, well, the Ai family is just talking too much." The queen mother sighed slightly, "The emperor doesn't want to say it, so don't be embarrassed."

Cai Jie smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam. That servant will step down first."

After leaving the Anshou Palace, Cai Jie went to Emperor Zhengxuan's imperial study.

When he walked in, he saw Emperor Zhengxuan crouching on the desk reviewing the memorial, but Emperor Zhengxuan was pale with a lethargic expression, obviously seriously ill.

"Your Majesty." Seeing the ceremony, Cai Jie hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has already tested it out just now. Mrs. Chu herself said that Marquis Zhenxi is like his aunt, saying that she was carved out of the same mold."

Emperor Zhengxuan was startled, thinking of Yunxia, ​​in his impression she was just a ten-year-old girl, when she grew up, she might look like Chu Yunpan...

"Madam Chu didn't notice this matter." Emperor Zhengxuan said.

"How can it be?" Cai Jie said, "When Mrs. Chu was scolded by the queen mother, she was as frightened as a quail, her face turned pale, and she didn't even dare to utter a sound. She is lecturing!"

"That's fine." Emperor Zhengxuan nodded emotionally, then took out a book, opened it, and took out one: "Come on, send this painting to Long Xiao."

Cai Jie was startled, and quickly took it: "Yes."

There has been no portrait of Yunxia in the palace for a long time. After more than twenty years, Emperor Zhengxuan's memory of Yunxia was somewhat vague, until Chu Yunpan appeared, and his appearance filled some of Emperor Zhengxuan's imagination of Yunxia.

The last time Long Xiao left, Emperor Zhengxuan had dispelled his doubts about Chu Yunpan, thinking that Long Xiaocha was just going through the motions, so naturally he didn't bring any portraits with him.

A few days ago, Princess Ping said something, which made Emperor Zhengxuan think of the portrait.

If you use Yunxia's portrait to check, the accuracy rate will be higher. He was also a good painter when he was young, so he drew this one based on Chu Yunpan's appearance and combined with his vague memory of Yunxia.

If Chu Yunpan really looked exactly like his biological mother... then he would look like this!

Cai Jie took the painting, turned and left.

Finally, it was stuffed under Hai Dongqing's feet, and it flew out.

...

After Mrs. Qin left Shou'an Palace, she met Madam Zhang at Donghua Gate, and the two got into the car and returned to Chu's house together.

After getting out of the car, Nanny Zhang returned to the vacant residence with her things in her hands. Nanny Ding rushed up to greet her, "Madam, is it really because of Princess Ge Lan? The slave just saw Nanny Zhang leaving with a bunch of things. "

Qin's face was livid: "Go back!"

Nanny Ding was taken aback, and followed behind Qin. The two walked into the Yixiang Courtyard one after the other, and Qin slammed down on the couch, and then told what happened in Shou'an Palace just now.

Nanny Ding was taken aback: "However, the Empress Dowager finally dismissed Nanny Zhang. She didn't criticize the wife in front of outsiders. Obviously she didn't blame the wife too much. What Chun Shan said in the morning is reasonable, no matter what opportunities you get in the future, or anyone If you want to provoke, you must think firmly, there will be no pies in the sky. The future of the side concubine depends on the third master! When you really become a queen, it will not be too late to deal with them."

Qin's eyes were hardened, and she snorted coldly.

...

Empty -

Nanny Zhang walked into the door holding the things given by the Queen Mother. There was a burst of medicinal smell in the room. Old Madam Mei who was lying on the bed heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes: "I'm back."

"Yes." Nanny Zhang walked to the bed and put down everything, "The Empress Dowager gave the wife some supplements."

"Yeah." Old Madam Mei nodded weakly, "And then?"

Mother Zhang came over and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is really testing! Needless to say, Princess Ping must have said something. I heard that at a banquet before, Princess Ge Lan deliberately drew out the third grandma's bracelet, and then married in... ... This is a step-by-step attempt to take advantage of the third master's life experience. Now that he fails to make a profit, he will stab the matter to the emperor so that he can make up for it."

"Hmph!" Mrs. Mei snorted coldly.

This bracelet was left by Yunxia, ​​so she gave it to Ye Tang to pick it up, not afraid of being discovered.

After all, Chu Yunpan's appearance is hopeless. It was good to be unknown before, but as soon as he becomes famous and falls into that vortex, he will cause a lot of right and wrong, fame and fortune, jealousy, resentment...everything will fall on him. Come.

First it was the matter of the bandits, and then it was the matter of Princess Glenn...

They all came for Chu Yunpan.

Such a bracelet is really dispensable, because Chu Yunpan has such a face similar to Yunxia, ​​sooner or later someone will use this as a demon. Emperor Zhengxuan was very suspicious, and as long as Jin Linwei found something, he would deal with Chu Yunpan mercilessly.

"Old lady, now that the matter has progressed to this point, should we tell the third master about Aunt Yun's affairs?" Zhang Nanny said.

Mrs. Mei was startled, and then said after a moment of silence: "What do you think of Sanlang recently?"

"The condition is good." Zhang Nanny said, "At least the third grandma is in a good mood. She lived at home a while ago, and came here every day to tell the old lady you stories."

Speaking of Ye Tangcai's storytelling, Mrs. Mei's mouth twitched.

"That proves that Sanlang has always been in touch with King Liang." Mrs. Mei said, "otherwise they wouldn't be so leisurely. King Liang must know what happened in Beijing, but we all guessed about the bandit incident last time." In fact, their target is San Lang's true identity, let alone King Liang. If King Liang doesn't tell San Lang, then let's not mention it."

Liang Wang chose to hide it because he didn't want Chu Yunpan to be sad when he found out.

"But..." Madam Zhang was still worried, "Look at the emperor's constant testing..."

"It's useless to tell Sanlang, why don't you raise troops immediately? Seeing that Sanlang is still calm, it shows that King Liang knows well. Look at the emperor in front of him who is seriously ill and recovering. The relationship between the prince and the emperor is getting more and more tense. If he is not in the capital, he will muddy the royal family. plan, let's wait and see how it changes." Old Madam Mei said.

...

The capital is still paying attention to the case of Princess Glenn.

However, after Princess Ge Lan was imprisoned in Dali Temple, there was no further movement. Dali Temple said that it was investigating, and the case had not been judged anyway.

The people couldn't help but despise him one after another, saying that Emperor Zhengxuan wanted to protect his granddaughter.

I don't know where the news came, saying that the queen mother summoned the Qin family and gave a lot of things, saying that the royal family was apologizing for the matter of Princess Glenn, but it was hard to say it, so I gave some sweetness.

Princess Ping heard this and sneered: "Now we're just waiting for Jinlinwei!"

"The emperor is very suspicious. As long as it is found out that Aunt Chu Yunpan is from Tongzhou, the emperor will rather kill the wrong one than let her go." said the nanny beside her.

Shazhou——

Hai Dongqingluo circled down from a high altitude, and finally stopped on the arm of Long Xiao, the leader of the Golden Scale Guard.

Long Xiao hurriedly removed the paper tube under Hai Dongqing's feet, took out the letter paper inside, opened it, and saw a portrait of a young girl inside.

A Jinlin guard behind him said: "This is the portrait of the person to be checked? With this, our accuracy rate will be even higher."

Long Xiao said: "Yes! Let's go, brothers, to the Green Banana Building!"

"Go to Lvjiaolou, big brother, please let us listen to the music?" All the brothers behind laughed and joked.

Long Xiao laughed: "When this case is over, you can drink whatever you want when you return to the capital."

On the not-so-big country road, Long Xiao was about to whip his horse, but saw a bullock cart walking slowly not far ahead.

Looking at the back, the driver is an old man in his seventies wearing patches, sitting beside him is a tall and strong young man in his mid-twenties, and behind him is another lying on the bullock cart, but he is covering his face with a bamboo hat , covering the glare of the sun.

Seeing that they were peasants from the countryside, Long Xiao snorted and said, "The brothers in front of you, please be careful of the dust."

As he spoke, he flicked his horsewhip fiercely, and the horse team flew past the official road, kicking up a cloud of dust, covering half of the country road.

"Ahem..." The three people on the bullock cart were also coughing uncontrollably due to the dust. The old man flicked the reins quickly, and the old cow pulling the cart quickened its pace, finally getting out of the dust.

"Hey, look at Long Xiao's arrogant appearance." The dark-faced young man next to the old man said, it was none other than Yan Dong.

"I have been neglected by the emperor for more than 20 years, and now it is finally useful, so naturally work hard." Mr. Zhou said. "If he finds out a major case, he will be reused."

Yan Dong sneered: "Then let's intercept his case properly." Then he turned around: "Your Highness, shall we go to the Lvjiao Building in the town?"

The man on the cart still covered his face with a bamboo hat, and said lazily, "No, go to Heishi Village ten miles away."

"This..." Yan Dong was startled.

Liang Wang in the car said coldly: "They will check there from the Lvjiao Building, let's go!"

"yes."

If it is possible, King Liang really wants to kill all those witnesses, but if they kill them all, it will appear that her origin is even more unknown, and Emperor Zhengxuan feels that she is Yunxia more and more, and she is still hidden by someone, so who is this person? King Liang? Or Chu Yunpan himself?

Anyway, no matter who it is, it has been exposed that Chu Yunpan and Liang Wang are in the same group, and Emperor Zhengxuan is even more innocent.
