Chapter 124: The prince is back
"How could it be?" Guizhi smiled: "Grandma just said that the Queen Mother, the Queen, the Queen and the Concubine are all here, how can it be possible for you to suffer? What's more, after this incident, the Concubine should also realize that Aunt Xin is a disaster.
Maybe she can find a way to get rid of this scourge without grandma taking action, and grandma just needs to sit tight on the Diaoyutai."
Ms. Liao blinked and looked at Guizhi doubtfully: "As you said, am I going to take advantage of my aunt? This also seems that I am too incompetent, and I want my aunt to clean up the mess for me."
Guizhi sighed: "There is nothing we can do. It's not that grandma is incompetent. It's because Aunt Xin is favored by the prince and has a lot of skills. We really can't deal with her. Besides, grandma is the prince's wife, but the concubine is the prince's mother.
Once the prince knows something, you can't get rid of it. You don't know the prince's temper? If you make him angry, it is not impossible to divorce his wife. But the prince can't deny his mother, right? Even if Aunt Xin is being raped at this moment
The concubine was killed, and the prince blamed the concubine in his heart, so he still had to fulfill his filial piety."
"hiss……"
Ms. Liao took a breath and her face changed. Then she heard Guizhi whisper softly: "Logically speaking, I have said this. He deserves to be struck by lightning. But in my eyes, I only have grandma. For the future of you and the two young masters,
, I must use these heart-wrenching words to persuade you. Grandma, let’s stop. At least in the near future, we can’t make any more mistakes... No, we can’t make any more moves.”
Mrs. Liao glared at Guizhi fiercely, tapped her fingers on the table, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What do you mean? What are you talking about? Do you think I am the one who is causing trouble? You don't want to see me being forced.
What situation have we reached..."
"No, no."
Guizhi knew very well how petty-minded her master was, and she quickly knelt down and raised her watch to show her loyalty: "This slave is just bald for a moment. I really don't mean it. How could it be grandma who is causing trouble? From Aunt Xin's trouble to the backyard
, who knows your difficult situation better than this slave? Grandma, I only have grandma in my heart..."
After talking about it, she almost burst into tears. Then Liao said angrily: "Okay, get up. It's not because you are loyal to me. I can't spare you just by saying this."
After saying that, he said with a serious look: "Guizhi, in this house, you and I are one. As the saying goes, if you are prosperous, both will be prosperous, and if you are harmed, both will be harmed. You must know in your heart, who did you gain power because of? And because of whom?
Who loses power?"
"Yes. I know this very well. I swear, if I have any second thoughts about grandma, I will be struck by lightning and die."
"Um."
Mrs. Liao nodded with satisfaction, then looked up and down the cinnamon branch from head to toe, and said in deep thought: "Now that Aunt Feng is dead, Aunt Qiu, Aunt Gu and Aunt Xin are the only ones left in the house. How many years have they passed, Your Majesty?"
You should also add two new people to your side. Although the ones bought from outside are novel, they are not as considerate as our own family. I think you look good and have a good figure. When the prince comes back, I will ask him whether to buy two new people into the house and then take you in.
I will serve you for a few years and give birth to a son and a half. You can also be my aunt. Don’t worry, I’m here and I won’t let you suffer.”
For a girl like Guizhi, Liao's words were like rain from the sky. She thought that if she really became an aunt, she would reach the sky in one step. She was so happy that she almost burst into tears, so she naturally had to refuse.
How could Mrs. Liao not understand her thoughts? She sneered and tapped Guizhi's forehead with her slender jade fingers: "Okay, don't pretend with me. Now that you have taken this reassurance, you must spare no effort to help me from now on. Aunt Feng
Although there are no flaws in this level, it is not that easy. My cousin is a shrewd person, not to mention that he has Xin Nian to add fuel to the fire."
"Yes. This slave knows."
Guizhi agreed. Seeing Mrs. Liao's lips pursed, she knew that she wanted to be quiet, so she happily left.
*****************
"So, this is what happened to Aunt Feng? After so many days, there has been no splash, and the matter has been hastily buried. After all, she is Brother Feng's biological mother. She has served the prince for more than ten years, and there is no credit but hard work.
.”
"Otherwise? What else can be done?"
"But..." Aunt Gu stood up and came closer to Xin Nian and whispered angrily: "But you and I both know that Aunt Feng was probably killed by grandma, not at all.
They said they would drown themselves."
"Where's the evidence?" Xin Nian looked at Aunt Gu: "Do you have any evidence?"
"No." Aunt Gu was discouraged and sat back on the chair. After a long while, she complained again: "Okay, even if it was early in the morning, I don't believe that no one saw a big person like Aunt Feng being dragged out? She didn't struggle and scream at all.
?How come no one stands up?"
Xin Nian smiled and glanced sideways at Aunt Gu: "What's so strange about this? If you saw it, would you come forward?"
"I……"
Aunt Gu choked on Xin Nian's words and murmured after a while: "Yes, I dare not say it now. Who doesn't know that the palace is controlled by the concubine and grandma? It is not easy for our ancestors to protect Brother Feng.
But...but when the prince comes back, then I can say it."
"That's because you and grandma are incompatible with each other." Xin Nian played with the tea cup in his hand: "If it were anyone else, who has no life-long friendship with Aunt Feng, who would be willing to risk offending grandma to reveal the truth?"
"That's right." Aunt Gu lost her last thoughts and sat there in a trance. Xin Nian picked up a piece of snack and was about to put it into her mouth when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, followed by the joyful shouts of the little girls:
"The prince is back, the prince is back."
"Huh?"
Xin Nian and Aunt Gu looked at each other, and the joy on their faces could not be concealed: they were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but now they had their backer back, and they no longer had to worry about being like Aunt Feng.
I don't know when he was killed quietly.
"Where is the prince?"
Aunt Gu asked anxiously when she was in the room. She saw the door curtain raised and Li Zhi walked in and said with a smile: "The prince has not come back yet. Butler Liao came back first to report to the concubine and the ancestors that the prince and the fifth prince have returned to the palace.
I'm afraid I won't be able to return home until after noon, so the palace must keep some food for me."
"Giving you food?" Xin Nian raised his eyebrows: "So, the case of the Xixia Mission was successfully solved?"
"Yes." Lizhi nodded excitedly: "Steward Liao said that this matter was caused by the collusion between local officials and bandits, a force that has been cultivated over the years. If it hadn't been for the wisdom of the prince and the fifth prince, the case would not have been solved. The process was very exciting, but this is probably
We have to wait for the prince to come back and tell the story in person, so that our ancestors, the concubines and aunts would like to hear it more. He is clumsy and tongue-tied and cannot speak well."
