"Wanyin has always been in the palace and has not gone anywhere. Based on one-sided words, Minghe, do you want to deal with Wanyin?" the Queen Mother said coldly.
"Queen Mother..."
The Queen Mother interrupted the words of Princess Minghe and spoke very slowly: "Minghe, you have to know that Wanyin is going to marry Prince Duan soon, and she is Prince Duan's concubine. No one can convict her with just a few words, even if
If something really big happens this time, it's not Wanyin's fault. At most, it's the second daughter of the Zhennan Hou Mansion who is responsible for this."
What's more, Ming and the eldest princess had no evidence at all, they just heard it from hearsay, and they looked like they were making trouble unreasonably.
Ming and the eldest princess had a lot of troubles. They caused such a big trouble before. The queen mother was really annoyed. She did bad things again and again, but she still pretended to be aggrieved and behaved.
She is arrogant and unreasonable, and she has no dignity whatsoever as a royal eldest princess.
"The Queen Mother, I don't dare. I just... I just think someone wants to harm Jiao'er. Please ask the Queen Mother to make the decision." Sensing the Queen Mother's anger, Ming and the eldest princess finally lowered their heads, not daring to act or cause trouble any more.
He explained with anger and grievance.
Compared to his previous arrogance and arrogance, he now looks more serious.
"Then...what do you mean?" The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Empress Dowager, I only ask you to make the decision for Jiao'er. Jiao'er almost lost her life. If the carriage driver hadn't stopped her, Jiao'er and the carriage would have fallen into the water. What kind of situation is that...
It's impossible to survive." Princess Minghe burst into tears, "I just ask the Queen Mother to uphold justice and find out who took Jiao'er's life and whose affairs Jiao'er was getting in the way. She can't be tolerated like this.
, just because she entered Prince Duan’s Mansion first?”
The final pointer was Zhang Wanyin again.
The concubine entered the house before the principal concubine. Even if it was reasonable, the principal concubine would feel like it was a slap in the face.
The Queen Mother touched her brow, feeling irritated. Compared to other princes' palaces, Prince Duan's palace really had a lot of things going on. Compared to other princes, Prince Duan had too many concubines and concubines...
"You go back first. If there is really someone plotting to kill Concubine Xu, the Ai family will definitely not let it go, and the emperor will punish him severely, no matter who it is." The Queen Mother said.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, I... I have to go back to take care of Jiao'er now. Jiao'er was so seriously injured and just woke up. Her whole body is... not good. I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about it... I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about it..."
She is the only granddaughter I love the most. If there is really something wrong with her, how can I, my concubine, survive?"
Princess Ming and the eldest daughter wiped away tears and said.
This cry is extremely beautiful. It is not like Zhang Wanyin's previous arrogance. She only talked about Xu Anjiao's injuries. Xu Anjiao was seriously injured, and she was really close to something serious. If something really happened to Xu Anjiao, Zhang Wanying
There is definitely no way to escape, not even the Zhennan Hou Mansion.
As for Zhang Wanyin, it depends on what Mrs. Zhennanhou says.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's expression softened a little, and nothing could happen to Xu Anjiao.
"You go back to take care of Concubine Xu first, and the Ai family will send the imperial physician there. If you need anything, just tell the imperial physician that Concubine Xu is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. If something like this happens, you must investigate and blame her." The Queen Mother said with a gentle expression.
After a few minutes, he gently comforted Ming and the eldest princess with a few words as always.
Ming and the eldest princess no longer dared to say anything outrageous, and sat on the palace sedan in tears. When they got into the palace sedan, they wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes with a handkerchief, and showed anger on their faces.
The Queen Mother really defended Zhang Wanyin and actually suppressed herself again and again. Thinking that her granddaughter had been so wronged and almost lost her life, Princess Ming and the eldest princess gritted their teeth. She had never been the only one to let others suffer.
Yes, no one has ever made her suffer such great injustice.
An He can only suffer in her hands. Now she is just a small princess, but she is so favored by the Queen Mother. How can she swallow this tone?
However, the eldest princess Minghe is not stupid. The Queen Mother's attitude towards her is getting worse and worse. In the past, she could listen to her words, but now she blindly shields others, and even steps on herself and her granddaughter.
How could Ming and the eldest princess endure this?
Back then, she was the legitimate princess in the palace, and even the Queen Mother had to look at her face, but now it was her who looked at the Queen Mother's face.
Royal, she is the true royal bloodline, the true eldest princess's bloodline, why should those outsiders suppress her?
How could she be willing to...
Back at the house, I first went to see my granddaughter. Xu Anjiao was so wrapped up that she was confused. When she saw Ming and the eldest princess just crying, Ming and the eldest princess were heartbroken.
After comforting their granddaughter and letting her recover from her injuries, Ming and the eldest princess led people back to the yard and sat in the house with gloomy faces.
The maid brought tea, and after she took a sip, she slammed it on the ground. All the maids and women knelt down one by one, not daring to raise their heads.
After a while, I heard Princess Minghe say: "Go and ask for Mrs. Min Guo!"
Ming and the eldest princess left, Zhang Wanyin came out from behind, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a plop, pursed her lips vigorously, but tears fell one after another. Compared with the angry crying of Ming and the eldest princess,
Zhang Wanyin endured a lot and did not speak too much. She only said in a low voice: "I will let the Queen Mother punish me."
Tears rolled down one by one from her pale face, feeling aggrieved and frightened.
"The Ai family will investigate this matter. If this matter really has anything to do with your family..." Although the Queen Mother is partial to Zhang Wanyin, she has to do business with her on the surface. "She will not be lenient."
"The Queen Mother is investigating. If this matter really has something to do with the Zhennan Hou Mansion, I...will be willing to worship the Ancient Buddha and only worship the Queen Mother for the rest of my life."
Zhang Wanyin choked.
"Child, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the future Princess Duan, so naturally you want to marry Princess Duan. How can you say that you will respect the Ai family for the rest of your life?"
The Queen Mother said with a gentle expression, and stretched out her hand to help her: "Okay, get up and go to rest first. No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if it is the matter of Mrs. Zhennan Hou, it cannot be your matter.
"
The Queen Mother felt that it was impossible for Mrs. Zhennanhou to do this. Zhang Wanyin’s cousin was Mrs. Zhennanhou’s only legitimate daughter. Even if she really wanted to plot against Xu Anjiao, it was impossible to use her own daughter. It sounded like someone
Plan against this second girl from the Zhennan Hou Mansion.
At that time, the first thing that happened was the carriage of the Marquis of Zhennan Mansion. The carriage driver of the Marquis of Zhennan Mansion had long since escaped. It seemed that Xu Anjiao just happened to meet him and was rather unlucky.
The follow-up of this matter was indeed the same. In the end, it turned out that it was all an accident. It was Zhang Wanying's intention that the coachman of Zhennanhou Mansion went this way. Before going, he specifically asked Zhang Wanying about the choice of this route.
The road, although longer, is the main road.
As for the carriage driver who escaped in the end, it was more likely that he was scared away by the carriage driver from Prince Duan's Palace. At that time, the carriage driver from Prince Duan's Palace took the carriage driver from Zhennan Hou's Palace and asked him to take the blame. Something happened to the masters of both parties, and the other party
His master still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is a member of Prince Duan's palace. Under such circumstances, how can a coachman bear the responsibility?
In the end, he left. When he went to Zhennan Hou Mansion to check, everything in the coachman's house was in good condition, and there was even some money left. It can be seen that it really happened suddenly, and he had no intention of running away.
Yes, something happened suddenly, and the frightened horse crashed into Prince Duan's carriage, causing Xu Anjiao to almost have a serious accident.
That seems to be the truth of the matter.
But Xu Anjiao was really seriously injured, much more seriously than Zhang Wanying. Mrs. Zhennanhou took Zhang Wanying, who was also injured, to her door to apologize to Xu Anjiao. Xu Anjiao's cup almost hit her nose, and she was so frightened that she fell ill again after she came back.
Already.
The Zhennan Hou Mansion had to pay a lot of gifts, and in the end even had to use several items of unusual value that were originally intended to be given to Zhang Wanyin in the dowry.
The Queen Mother also issued an order to reward Xu Anjiao with many things. In order to appease Xu Anjiao, she even raised her status.
The princes in the Jin Dynasty usually have a regular configuration of one main concubine, two side concubines, and two concubines. The main concubine, side concubines, and concubines are all considered real royals, and they also go to the royal family for ultimatums.
The Queen Mother elevated Xu Anjiao to the position of concubine. Now Prince Duan's palace has one main concubine and three concubines. In the future, even if there is a concubine, there will only be one.
Even though it was against the rules to raise a concubine to the position of a concubine, Xu Anjiao really almost lost her life this time, and the Queen Mother had to comfort her, as she would have one less concubine in the future.
Zhang Wanyin also personally brought gifts to see Xu Anjiao, accompanied by the Queen Mother's nanny. Xu Anjiao did not dare to be too presumptuous. Although she cried into tears, fortunately she did not dare to take action.
Zhang Wanyin apologized again and again, and when she came out of Xu Anjiao's house, she was already sweating profusely.
He stood in front of the house, calmed his breathing hard, and then opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly red, a bit aggrieved and uneasy.
The nun in the palace who accompanied her here knew that she was wronged and was about to get married soon. Now that something like this happened, she, the main concubine, had to come to apologize to a concubine, and she had to bow her head heavily. No matter who
I feel bad.
"Princess Mingqing, the Queen Mother understands you." Mammy comforted her in a low voice.
Zhang Wanyin nodded slightly and was about to speak when she suddenly heard the voice of a maid beside her: "Princess Mingqing, our eldest princess invites you to come over."
Zhang Wanyin looked at Nanny, who nodded to her. When she walked in, she explained that she and the eldest princess were not here. Now she suddenly came to see her again. She seemed to have something to say. Nanny was honored as the Queen Mother.
I came here with Zhang Wanyin because I was afraid that Ming and the eldest princess would embarrass Zhang Wanyin.
I definitely had to meet them. I originally thought that since Ming and Princess Dachang were not here, I would have to come over next time.
"Thank you." Zhang Wanyin said politely to the maid, then turned around and followed the maid to the teahouse on the side with her grandma.
It was not just Ming and Princess Dachang who were waiting for Zhang Wanyin in the flower hall...
