Chapter 1267 Lure the Snake
Although the eavesdropper was crouching under the back window and eavesdropping, he was still at a certain distance from the house. When Prince Shu and Aunt Qiu talked on the phone at a normal volume, they were fine and could hear every word clearly, but later on
, their volume dropped, and what they said was no longer clearly audible.
The people from the Secret Service tried their best, but only heard part of it.
There was nothing suspicious about the normal exchange between the Prince of Shu and Aunt Qiu. The main thing was that Aunt Qiu said that the Queen Mother was very angry when she heard that the Prince of Shu was going to become a monk and wanted to ask him what he planned to do. Then there was Aunt Qiu.
In her own words, Mammy talked about the current situation of the little county master, how he couldn't bear to leave his father, how he missed his mother and brother, which day his health was better, which day he ate more, which day he didn't think about food and drink, and so on.
He persuaded the prince of Shu to give up the idea of becoming a monk.
Then the Crown Prince of Shu explained the reason why he wanted to become a monk. It seemed that he was frightened by the life in captivity for several years and was frightened. He also said that life is not easy now, and there are people who monitor him all day long. There are also the emperor and the prince.
The elders in the clan were all unfriendly to him, his wife was cold to him, his son was always sick, and his daughter could not see him yet. He felt that his life was too hard and he might as well become a monk. Also, he thought
All the things he suffered were caused by his deceased father's rebellion during his lifetime. He was worried that he would never be able to escape from it. He would rather become a monk and end his worldly ties than be the son of the King of Shu. Naturally, he would no longer have to worry about being raped by the King of Shu.
His sins during his lifetime were implicated. Moreover, he was the one the royal family wanted to be wary of. As long as he left home, the royal family would no longer need to worry about him. His wife and children might be able to live a more relaxed life, and so on.
But then, Aunt Qiu lowered her voice, and it was difficult to hear what she was about to say. Prince Shu also lowered his voice, and the two of them went back and forth, having an almost whispering conversation.
, occasionally mixed with a few conversations with a normal volume, but most of them were clichés and falsehoods. It sounded like Aunt Qiu was using the relationship between husband and wife as father and son to persuade the Prince of Shu not to become a monk. The Prince of Shu insisted that he should become a monk himself.
My wife and children are in the best interest.
However, after a low-pitched conversation, Aunt Qiu's expression suddenly changed. Although she continued to talk to Prince Shu in a low voice, the shock on her face and the anger in her voice could not be concealed.
The listeners even faintly heard her say: "Are you really going to do this? The little county master misses you every day! Don't you miss the feeling of father and daughter at all?!" After saying this,
The Crown Prince of Shu whispered for a long time, and Aunt Qiu was silent for a long time before she said: "Prince, think twice!"
At this time, it was the turn of the Prince of Shu to become impatient, and he called out: "Mommy! Mommy always loves me, can't she..." At this point, he probably realized that his voice was too loud, and he was afraid that he would be
The people outside the door heard something strange and changed their words, "Can't you help me once? Although I was separated from my relatives and friends after I became a monk, at least I can still live well. The Crown Princess and the two
Isn’t it a good thing that my children can live a more comfortable life? Mom, just treat me as someone who loves me! This is my only long-cherished wish now!"
Aunt Qiu turned to look at him, stared at him for a long time, and then said to him in a low voice that could be vaguely heard by eavesdroppers: "The prince is in a difficult situation and thinks there is no way out."
Okay, I was confused just now. I just pretended that I didn’t hear anything, and the Crown Prince should think again. In fact... if the Crown Prince said that he wanted to give up now, or stayed put for the time being, and stayed idle for two years, I wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
That's right, I will take care of the people and things in the palace for the prince. Leave the green hills there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's better for the prince not to act too hastily."
Probably because Aunt Qiu's words were too solemn, Prince Shu saw her attitude clearly, and his face became ugly. He said something to Aunt Qiu in a very low voice, and the eavesdroppers
No matter what, I couldn't hear a single word. I only knew that Aunt Qiu didn't answer anything, so she turned and left. The person watching outside the door clearly saw that Aunt Qiu's face was ashen at that time.
After listening to the report from the Secret Intelligence Department, Zhao Mo looked a little strange.
There seems to be nothing suspicious about the conversation between Aunt Qiu and the Prince of Shu, just mentioning the things that can be overheard. But the problem is... is the tone in which they said these words not consistent with the content of the conversation?
Match?
The Crown Prince of Shu just kept saying the same thing over and over again, that is, he wanted to become a monk and end his worldly ties. Aunt Qiu used his wife and children to persuade him, which was nothing new. She needed to be persuaded calmly at one moment, and angry and excited at the other.
Do you want to persuade me? It’s not so much that Mother Qiu’s mood changes too quickly, it’s better to say that...the whispers that are inaudible to those eavesdropping actually hide secrets that are not known to others. Mother Qiu took the little county master and Shu
Wang Shizi persuaded the latter out of his father-daughter love, not to prevent the latter from becoming a monk, but... he wanted to use his daughter to do something terrible, which was so terrible that even his accomplice, Aunt Qiu, could not accept it.
Zhao Mo sighed. It was a pity that the people from the Secret Intelligence Department could not overhear the entire conversation, otherwise he would have been able to make a more accurate judgment.
He ordered the people from the Secret Service to continue to monitor the prince of Shu, while he entered the palace and reported the situation to the emperor and the prince.
At this time, the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace also heard that Aunt Qiu reported the results of the visit of the Prince of Shu's palace. Aunt Qiu used the excuse given by the Prince of Shu to deal with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother asked her: "
Why do you look so ugly? Could it be that Zhao Ding made you angry?"
Aunt Qiu's eyes flickered and she looked away: "I feel really bad when I see the prince being so stubborn and not caring about the relationship between husband and wife and father and son."
The Queen Mother sighed: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He is already the father. Since he has made up his mind, let him go. We are not his biological parents, so why bother forcing him?"
Aunt Qiu looked at the Queen Mother in surprise and hesitated: "What's going on, Madam? You weren't originally..."
The Queen Mother looked at her deeply: "Earlier, Aijia was angry and thought differently, but now she has understood. If Zhao Ding can listen to Jin's advice, Aijia can just give her a few more words of advice. He is wholeheartedly determined to do what he wants.
What can the Aijia do to him if he becomes a monk? You don’t have to worry too much. He can say that he is a monk to make life easier for his wife and children, which shows that he still has feelings for his wife and children. Since he thinks that this is the only way to
It is the best thing for his wife and children. This is what he should do as a husband and father, so please fulfill it for him."
Aunt Qiu didn't know what to say for a moment. She was a little surprised. Did the Queen Mother suddenly change her attitude after listening to someone's persuasion? It was clear that the Queen Mother had been very opposed to the prince of Shu becoming a monk.
She was silent for a moment, hesitated again and again, and finally said the words: "Madam, the Crown Prince must have thought this because he was imprisoned for a long time and was not allowed to see his wife and children. He was just confused for a moment. How about...
Let him meet the young grandson and the young county master, and then let the imperial concubine persuade him more. If his wife and children beg hard, they can't change his mind, so the old slave will stop talking."
The Queen Mother remained silent, and after a while she said: "Although you usually ignore him, you still care about him in your heart, and you are always thinking about him."
Aunt Qiu was startled and said quickly: "Why is this old slave doing it for the prince? I can't bear to see the little county master and his young grandson without their father. The prince's concubine is not in good health, and the prince has become a monk again.
, what will happen to the two children in the future? The little county master still has the sympathy of the Queen Mother, but the little grandson only has his parents!"
The Queen Mother said lightly: "You are always so easy to be soft-hearted towards children and don't want to see them suffer." Then she said, "Then let the imperial concubine take her son to see Zhao Ding. As for the little county head, she can't move easily now.
You can't leave the palace. But the Ai family doesn't want to see that bastard Zhao Yu, so there's no need to let them meet."
Aunt Qiu advised: "It doesn't matter if you don't let the prince see the little county master, but the little county master is crying every day, which is not an option. The prince is hateful, but the child is innocent. If the prince really decides to become a monk, I'm afraid
This is the last time for the little county master to see his biological father, so just think of it for the sake of the little county master!"
The Queen Mother was noncommittal: "It is indeed troublesome to coax the child. Let's ask the Crown Princess of Shu to bring her son into the palace to see her daughter. With her mother and brother here, the little county owner will be happier." But she did not mention that the Crown Prince of Shu would be allowed to enter the palace.
.
Aunt Qiu knew that she still needed time to persuade the Queen Mother. She was afraid that pushing her too hard would offend her, so she stopped raising objections and discussed with the Queen Mother the date when the Crown Princess of Shu would come to the palace to visit her daughter.
What Aunt Qiu said to the Queen Mother was also reported to the Emperor and the Crown Prince not long after. Zhao Mo heard it and knew there was something wrong: "What Aunt Qiu said is not entirely true, and now she wants the Prince of Shu to enter the palace to see me.
County Lord, could it be that you want to take this opportunity to do something?"
The emperor said with a somewhat indifferent expression: "Since he wants to come, let him come. I want to see what his plans are!"
The prince said with some worry: "Isn't it too risky? The prince of Shu has ulterior motives. He tried his best to let Aunt Qiu persuade the Queen Mother to let him enter the palace. Isn't it just to see his daughter? If he had the intention
If it’s not right, it would be bad if it hurts my father and the Queen Mother.”
The emperor didn't take it seriously: "How could he hurt me? The Queen Mother doesn't want to see him. If he is not allowed to enter the palace, how can we know what he wants to do? This man is like a gangrene on the bone, and we are always restrained.
How can we deal with him if we look forward and backward? He has been struggling for too long, so let’s give him a chance to tell the truth and then give him a simple end!"
Since the emperor decided to lure the snake out of the cave, the prince and Zhao Mo had no choice but to cooperate with him. The Queen Mother summoned the prince concubine of Shu and the younger grandson to enter the palace tomorrow. Zhao Mo thought to himself that it would not be enough to have the palace servants to eavesdrop. If
If a nobleman ordered his attendants to retreat, would anyone else disobey the order? The result of forcing oneself to stay is to arouse the alert of the person involved, and no secrets will be heard. Perhaps, they need a more powerful source of information.
He made a suggestion to the emperor and the prince: "Why don't you let your grandnephew and daughter-in-law go to the palace tomorrow to meet with the Crown Princess of Shu? If she is willing to tell what she knows, we may be able to save a lot of trouble."
