Imagine the next mother who lost her child, with a clean face and a plain dress, a bone-shaped body, kneeling in front of the palace gate and crying sadly, which is very sympathetic, but I heard that she was still a murderous move by a concubine in the mansion. According to the second guard,
"I observed that there were actually not many ordinary people at the gate of the palace at that time. There were officers and soldiers who were maintaining order. I also found a slightly hidden place because I had gone there. Later, I saw that the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom and some older female relatives arrived soon. The third princess did not come out of the palace slowly and was wearing court uniforms."
These words were said in a very organized manner, and Zhou Heng understood it, but what he wanted to know most was whether the empress dowager had come out because of this. Fortunately, she was about to ask, and the second guard had already said the answer:
"The princess said at that time that she wanted to ask the Queen Mother to come out and make decisions for her. When the third princess came out, the Duke of the Kingdom also said the same thing beside the princess and knelt down. At that time, there were many officials who followed the third princess to come out. When the drum beats, they would come out if there was nothing in the court. Everyone was talking about this and was still talking about how the Queen Mother would react when she came out."
"Later, the prince arrived soon and insisted that the Empress Dowager come forward. But at the beginning, the third princess did not agree, saying that the Empress Dowager was in poor health. She is now the Regent and can make the decision for the Princess, and she has already asked someone to call Marquis of Weiyuan."
"But while waiting for the Marquis of Weiyuan to come, the Duke of Guard next to him spoke again, saying that the marriage was also given by the Empress Dowager at that time, and she was half an elder. Now that things have become like this, please understand the feeling of the Princess, the junior, who has no way to ask for advice. He also asked about the Empress Dowager's body and said that even if he is a little ill, he should not hide it from it. What's more, it should not be a trivial matter. Please ask the Third Princess to tell her a frankness."
"The third princess was still beating haha, and she said that the empress dowager was always a woman, and she was a little unhappy and didn't need to be known to everyone. Who knew that when she said this, Master Shen suddenly stood up-"
"Teacher Shen?" Zhou Heng recalled. It seemed that the Taishen Master Shen was also present during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet... Yes, he seemed to be on the side of the queen and the fourth prince at that time.
Moreover, this person is also surnamed Shen. It seems that he was a family five hundred years ago. He stood up to support his family at a critical moment!
Zhou Heng was secretly happy to have the help of an important official in the court, but unfortunately the second guard's answer was:
"Yes, I heard from the people next to me that Mr. Shen was highly respected and the third princess still had to listen to what he said. And it is rare that Mr. Shen had no relationship with Prince Jing's Mansion. It is said that for this reason, he took the initiative to tell the two emperors that because he and Prince Jing's mansion were both surnamed Shen, and both literary and military, they should be cleared up. The two families were just a coincidence that the same surname was and had nothing to do with each other. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Mr. Shen never had any contact with the Prince Jing's mansion. Everyone knows this."
"The third princess probably knows it too. As soon as he spoke, his face looked a little uncomfortable. But Master Shen didn't listen to her beating, and immediately asked the Empress Dowager if she was not in the palace."
"The third princess was also surprised when she saw it and asked him why he asked this. Master Shen said that since the third princess returned to the capital again and became the regent, the female family in his mansion wanted to pay tribute to the empress dowager several times, but she failed to do it once. This is the case now, and it would be fine if she could not see the empress dowager. He was very worried about the empress dowager and hoped that the third princess could give her an explanation here."
"The third princess's face looked a little ugly. At first, she scolded her subordinates and said that Marquis Weiyuan should have sent someone to call earlier. But later she didn't know what she thought of, but she looked calm and said with a calm look that the Empress Dowager was indeed not in the palace, but in Zhongnan Road."
