The night was as dark as water, and the back door of Yangshan Hou Mansion was knocked open. The visitor was wrapped in black clothes. He could not see the man and woman clearly, and he also did not bring a lantern.
The woman at the back door was not surprised and stepped aside to let the visitor in.
After the visitor came in, the woman at the back door stuck her head out and looked around, then hurriedly closed the door.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" The person who came spoke, it was a woman's voice, she sounded quite old, she should be a mother-in-law.
"Come here with me, slave." The woman guarding the door whispered, picked up the lantern placed at her feet, led the familiar path in front, and went straight to Li Xian's study. It was obviously not the first time to look like this...
In the study, Li Xian was still awake, looking at the booklet under the lamp, frowning slightly.
The Yangshan Marquis Mansion seems to be calm recently, but in fact nothing can be moved.
The boy came in to report, and soon a person came in. A woman in light black cloth with a hood on her head. After entering the door, she took off the hood and saluted respectfully: "I have met the prince."
Li Xian put down the book, his eyes fell on the mother-in-law, and after looking at her twice, he said, "No courtesy."
The mother-in-law straightened up, took out a letter and presented it respectfully: "This is a letter sent by our princess specially sent by a slave."
Li Xian nodded, and the servant took the letter from the mother-in-law and put it on the desk. Li Xian was not in a hurry to open it and asked: "How is your princess's health? How are her injuries? Are there any scars?"
"Our princess's injury has almost healed, and there is no scar left. Our princess said that she wants to thank the prince properly." The mother-in-law said with a smile.
"It was originally a matter of duty." Li Xian chuckled, extremely gentle.
I picked up the letter, opened it, and read it.
After reading it, he put it down with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, princess."
"Our princess heard that something happened in the Yangshan Marquis Mansion. She couldn't eat well or sleep well every day. She was always worried about the prince. She heard that the outside world was keeping a tight watch on her, so she didn't dare to send her slaves out. These days... the princess feels
It's almost done, so I'll send my slaves around to ask if the prince needs any help. If you need anything, just ask."
The mother-in-law's eloquent report clearly conveyed her master's concern and worry.
"Sorry, I miss you, princess." Li Xian sighed.
"The crown prince is also in trouble. Who knew that something like this would happen, let alone that it would be related to the seventh princess. Our princess said that with the temperament of the crown prince, he would never get into such trouble. Now this trouble is still related to the seventh princess.
If it has something to do with it, it will make people pay more attention to the Yangshan Marquis Mansion."
The mother-in-law worked hard to gain a good impression of her master and kept saying nice words.
Although the boy on the side didn't say anything, he nodded repeatedly. This matter is really not just a matter of his own family. If it weren't for the seventh princess to stir up trouble inside, there would be no trouble like this.
It would have been great if I had booked the Sixth Princess. Compared to the Seventh Princess who was arrogant and domineering and refused to listen to advice, the Sixth Princess was much better. She had a gentle temperament and she thought of the Crown Prince wholeheartedly.
The sixth princess and his eldest son are a perfect match.
"This is also an accident. No one can blame it." Li Xian said warmly, with a calm look on his face. He stood up and said to his mother-in-law: "Wait a moment."
The boy stepped forward and spread the paper for him before stepping back.
The mother-in-law smiled and stepped aside without any hurry.
Li Xian picked up the pen and calmed down before writing eloquently in one stroke.
Waiting to write
After he put down the pen in his hand, he said again: "Go back and report to your princess, so that she can feel at ease. The only thing is that she will not leave the palace during this period, so there is no need to worry about her."
"When something happened to the crown prince, how could we, the princess, not be concerned about it? Every time we think that this matter has something to do with the seventh princess, our princess is anxious and angry. Fortunately, the seventh princess is banned now, otherwise there might be some big trouble. All of us were together before.
The prince almost got into trouble with the seventh princess again."
The mother-in-law stood next to her master, the Sixth Princess, planning for the Sixth Princess wholeheartedly, pointing out every bad thing about the Seventh Princess.
"What's wrong?" Li Xian asked curiously.
"I heard that the Prince of Qi found evidence that the Seventh Princess had interfered with the Anguo Palace, and asked the Queen Mother and the Queen to punish the Seventh Princess. He also said that with the status of the Seventh Princess, doing such a thing would bring shame to the royal family. He asked the Queen Mother and the Queen to punish the Seventh Princess.
The queen imprisoned the seventh princess for life to prevent her from being embarrassed in the future."
The mother-in-law laughed while talking, let alone saying that this matter was hers, everyone around the sixth princess felt ridiculed when they heard it, even the seventh princess, her legitimate daughter!
What a disgrace!
"You want to imprison the seventh princess for life? Isn't this possible only for a prince?" Li Xian was surprised. He really didn't know about this.
In the past few days, he and his father had been quiet and peaceful. They didn't care about anything, did nothing, and didn't go out with guests. They just waited quietly for the incident at Duke Anguo's mansion to pass.
Try to shrink the action as much as possible and wait for King Rui to slowly turn things around.
"That's what I said. There has never been such a statement in the palace, but you also know that Prince Qi is the most favored by the Empress Dowager. Even the emperor is very generous to Prince Qi. Besides, Prince Qi also said,
The seventh princess was beaten by the emperor before because she did something wrong, and I have never heard of such a thing."
Speaking of the scandal of the Seventh Princess, the mother-in-law was filled with joy. The confidant mother-in-law knew best what her master was thinking. It was clear that her own princess was the most suitable for Prince Yangshan Hou, and they were in love with each other. However, a Seventh Princess came out.
Not only did he interfere, but he also delayed his own princess's good marriage.
How can I swallow this tone? Now I seize the opportunity to allude to the shameful behavior of the seventh princess. There has never been a princess in history who has been so embarrassed.
"Prince Qi thinks that the seventh princess smashing her head is unprecedented. Now it's nothing to be imprisoned. The prince also knows that the seventh princess and Prince Qi don't like each other, and it's not just a day or two. Before, the seventh princess
Having dealt with Prince Qi, how could Prince Qi let him go now that he has such a good opportunity, and even bring it to the attention of the emperor? There are some things that only Prince Qi dares to say."
The mother-in-law said, quite rejoicing in others' misfortune: "Now the Prince of Qi has set his sights on the Seventh Princess."
"What did the emperor say?" Li Xian was thoughtful.
"The emperor somehow appeased the prince of Qi later. I don't know the specific details. Anyway, the prince of Qi stopped making trouble later. The queen also gave the prince of Qi a lot of rewards. Everyone in the palace said that it was
Because of the seventh princess, the queen has to bow her head."
The mother-in-law smiled.
Li Xian was silent for a moment: "Queen...is everything okay?"
The queen is the seventh princess's greatest support.
"I heard that the emperor has not been to the Queen's Palace for a while, especially the past two days when Prince Qi and his son were making trouble. The Sixth Princess also heard that the Queen has gone to the Queen's Palace.
The royal study room where the emperor works."
The mother-in-law didn't dare to talk nonsense about this matter, and thought about it.
Li Xian nodded and stopped asking about the affairs of the Queen and the Seventh Princess. He then asked the Sixth Princess in detail about her current situation. Finally, he specifically told the Sixth Princess not to wade into the troubled waters too much, saying that he would not
Another thing, don't implicate the Sixth Princess because of him.
Even though he is in trouble now, he still thinks of the Sixth Princess.
This made the mother-in-law very satisfied. She took the letter handed over by the servant and repeatedly stated that she would go back to convey the care of Crown Prince Yangshan to her princess.
The young man saw his mother-in-law off, and Li Xian sat under the lamp and picked up the letter and read it again. After finishing it, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of depth flashed in his eyes. He leaned back, eyes slowly
Slowly closed it.
Although the queen has no children, she is trusted by the emperor. Even though the harem favored Concubine Ning, the queen is not weak at all. But now, troubles have happened one after another because of the seventh princess.
Prince Qi's mouth was very deep in his bones, and he still wouldn't let go. They said that Prince Qi was a jerk and moody. Who knew when he would find the Seventh Princess again? It really hurts my head just thinking about it.
The marriage has simply been postponed now, and I may not marry the seventh princess in the future.
Let’s see what happens next. Will the queen... be as useful as before?
If the Queen is useless and wants the Seventh Princess to do anything, he will not hold back when the time comes. He has always paid attention to revenge and revenge. In fact, he has been waiting for this day...
The next day, Yu Xijiao didn't get up early. She got up as usual. After washing herself, having some breakfast, she went to greet An and the eldest princess.
An and the eldest princess are not in good health
Okay, you don't have to go too early in the morning, and don't let Yu Xijiao come over every day. The weather is getting colder and you have to get up early in the morning, for fear that she will freeze.
And there is no need to rush over in a hurry because you might not have gotten up yet.
Yu Xijiao was naturally obedient, but although she would not go there very early, she would go there basically every day, but it might not be in the morning, but sometimes at noon or afternoon. Her grandmother was kind to her, and she also wanted to get close to her grandmother, even if her grandmother didn't
Let her come here every day, and she will come every day.
Unless something happens, it's basically in the morning.
Not too early, for fear of disturbing the rest of An and the eldest princess.
Bringing Mingyue over, she saw that Yu Yuxi's maid Jin Yu was there as soon as she entered the door. Mingyue said that this maid was not simple.
After the ceremony, Yu Xijiao sat down on a chair on the side. At this time, her grandmother had basically gotten up, had breakfast, and had almost done everything she needed to do. She came here just to talk to her grandmother.
"Do you want to call a doctor?" Princess An and the eldest daughter looked at Jin Yu and asked in a deep voice.
"It's... our master, he wasn't feeling well last night, and now... he can't get up now." Jin Yu said anxiously, and only then did Yu Xijiao see that her face was pale.
"Go and ask the doctor to take a look." Princess An and the eldest princess gave her a serious look and told the people around them. Since An and the eldest princess lived in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, it was not advisable to always invite the imperial doctor to come over.
, a doctor who had previously treated Princess An and the eldest daughter was invited to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
This doctor has good medical skills and is not inferior to the imperial physician.
"Thank you, eldest princess, thank you eldest princess." Jin Yu said repeatedly, and then left with her mother-in-law.
"sick?"
Yu Xijiao looked thoughtfully at Jin Yu's leaving figure.
The servants brought tea, and the eldest princess An and the eldest princess took a sip from the tea cup and said: "Sure enough, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian are from the same family. Even the way they pretend to be sick is exactly the same. It was like this at the beginning and still like this now.
"
There was a special meaning in these words. Yu Xijiao raised her head in astonishment, "Grandma?"
