Chapter 244 Reason
This hour passed very slowly. When the time came, Yu Zhu handed brother Xi to the wet nurse to carry him down for breastfeeding, and he and Cheng Xunxun got up and went to Chunxi Residence.
The old man had already arrived and was talking to the princesses of Zhuyi. He turned around and hurriedly motioned for them to sit down.
Princess Zhuyi paused and then said: "...The Queen Mother is just worried about the Mongols. Knowing that I have been there for more than ten years, she wants to ask me if I have a general grasp of Hulagu's strength, and maybe I know something.
It can come in handy too.”
"It happened that news of Gerca's surrender came again, so the Queen Mother asked me to come back without asking anyone else."
Cheng Xunxun said solemnly: "The Queen Mother knows...that you told your father that matter?"
Princess Zhuyi looked at her husband in surprise, as if she didn't quite believe that he would tell his son and daughter-in-law the news. After a while, she came to her senses and said, "I don't know."
Anyway, she didn't say anything. As for whether the Queen Mother guessed it or not, what does that have to do with her?
Anyway... She looked at her old man who was sitting upright with a serious face, and sarcastically told him her secret, hoping that this man could help her and protect her, but he kept silent; in the end, she became anxious.
, threatened to let the Queen Mother know that he had also heard the secret, and then he became furious... Men are indeed unreliable.
The old man was greatly relieved after hearing this. There are countless underworld things under the royal family. The more you know, the faster you will die, especially if your master finds out that you already know about it.
Cheng Xunxun still had things to do, so he and his husband soon left Chunxi Residence one after another.
Princess Zhuyi's face suddenly relaxed, and she leaned back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The princess doesn't look very well, should I ask for an imperial doctor?" Yu Zhu Yingying stood up and frowned. He took a cup of hot tea from the ebony carved tea tray in his mother's hand and delivered it to the Princess of Zhuyi in person.
"No need." Princess Zhuyi smiled reluctantly and took the tea, but did not drink it, looking a little worried.
Yuzhu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "The Queen Mother actually knows, right?"
"What?"
"You told the old man, and then he was furious and sent you back to Chunxi Residence." Yu Zhu's eyes were clear and bright, and he said frankly, "There is a lot of commotion here, and because you threatened the Queen Mother with secrets, you gave me the gift."
It’s a marriage, so there must be the Queen Mother’s informants among the palace attendants, so it’s natural that this matter should be reported to the Queen Mother.”
Among the palace attendants, there was an informant of the Queen Mother. She used to pretend that she didn't know about it, because she couldn't do anything to him if she knew about it. She had to keep him in the palace and let them pry and pass on the news.
Princess Zhuyi looked away, "I didn't reveal even a single word."
Yu Zhu grinned, but did not laugh.
Then there was another oppressive silence.
"Why did you marry into the Duke's Mansion in the first place?" After a while, Yu Zhucai asked quietly: "...You don't have a good life in the north, why do you still marry?"
Judging from the information the maid found out, the princess of Zhuyi suffered a lot in the north, and her husband also suffered from domestic violence. So after getting out of the pit of fire, she should not want to get married in a short time.
As a princess who had been married, even if the Queen Mother disliked her, she would still provide for her. The worst she could do was live alone in a remote palace in peace and quiet.
If it weren't for the fact being in front of him, he would never have guessed that it was Princess Zhuyi who threatened the Queen Mother to marry...
Maybe it was because Yu Zhu was too calm and sincere, or because she felt that there was nothing to hide now, Princess Zhuyi opened her mouth: "...You are the niece of the Queen Mother, and you have also been to the palace. I feel
It’s very luxurious and spectacular.”
"I must also know that the inside is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. From top to bottom, from the queen and concubines to the palace maids and eunuchs, there are fights wherever there are people."
Yu Zhu nodded, otherwise how could Mrs. Cui be so happy if she didn't have to enter the palace in the first place.
Princess Zhuyi smiled slightly, her big almond-shaped eyes filled with memories, "When I was 6 years old, I was taking a nap in the warm pavilion of the Queen Mother's palace, and I heard about the plans of the Queen Mother and her personal maid...
Before the sun set that day, I heard the news from the chamberlain that Jieyu, my father's favorite recently, had been miscarried and injured her body. From then on, I paid attention to Jieyu whose surname was Ma, but there was no news again.
"
"... In the palace, people do not speak based on their position. If you lose favor and have no support, the little chamberlain will not take you seriously, deprive you of food, be arrogant, deliberately make things difficult for you... He can do anything to a good person.
It can be concluded that it can also be
I will make you speechless and you will live and die." Princess Zhuyi touched her lips with a cup, her eyes and brows were full of loneliness: "I have seen this kind of thing too many times, and now the emperor is the most filial person... I want to be pure.
Days, only leaving the palace..."
"As for why the Duke of the country?" Princess Zhuyi waved her hand, "As long as I can get out of the palace, who can I marry? Even if your aunt asked me to marry a beggar, I would be happy to do so."
When Yu Zhu heard this, he suddenly remembered that during the Lantern Festival last year, the Queen Mother insisted on entering the palace by herself, and she pulled herself into saying some inexplicable words to support herself...
It seems now that she was very annoyed by Princess Zhuyi at that time and agreed to marry Cheng Xungong in the capital, whose conditions were most worthy of Princess Zhuyi. However, after thinking about it, she was still unwilling to give in, so she wanted to use her own hands to deal with her.
Princess Yi, in the eyes of the world, it is difficult for the two legitimate sons to coexist peacefully with a title between them, and the struggle between the sisters-in-law is even more common...
Although Princess Zhuyi was the legitimate daughter of the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty and had a noble status, she was not bad herself. Moreover, she had been pampered by her father, brother and mother since she was a child, so her temperament was naturally somewhat self-centered. Coupled with the instigation and instigation of the Empress Dowager, she made some "
"Things turned out to be so normal. Even if something went wrong, it would be me who was unlucky, and it had nothing to do with the loving and generous Queen Mother."
Until then, she only needs to say a few words of regret and heartache.
But later, Mr. Xie passed away suddenly. It was a serious crime to marry a wife during the period of mourning. The princess of Zhuyi took advantage of the Queen Mother, so they both took a step back - the Queen Mother allowed the princess of Zhuyi to marry, and the princess of Zhuyi agreed to marry her old father-in-law.
Yuzhu was very suspicious. Could it be that she married her husband because of herself? Just because he was her so-called niece and had a cute and innocent face? So he could continue to be used by her and stumbling upon the princesses of Zhuyi?
After all, just giving medicine or something is just casual. Princess Zhuyi is not stupid, and she has her mother by her side. How can she eat the food rewarded by the Queen Mother...
The more I think about it, the more chilling I feel. In the past, I could attribute the things the Queen Mother did to her family and her son, but now? I transferred all my previous resentment towards the original Queen to the Princess of Zhuyi, and she only cares about her calculations.
Take it out on yourself and have those unbearable thoughts...
The Empress Dowager didn't call you into the palace for military purposes or anything... Yu Zhu thought about this sentence three times in her mind, but still didn't say it out in the end. It was definitely not a good thing.
…
A few days later, news from the north spread back to the capital - the aggressive food-grabbing team all retreated overnight and diverted to block Gercha's retreat to the Central Plains. (To be continued. If you like this work
