Although Princess Rong was a little stupid and impulsive at times, she didn't understand the underlying meaning behind her words.
As a member of the royal family, there is a limit to how stupid she can be, otherwise she would not be able to be the royal princess and manage the inner palace of a royal palace.
The Queen's words were already a hint within a clear statement, except that she did not tell her directly and clearly: If something really happened to the Crown Prince, Zhang'er would be the next candidate for the crown prince.
But the Queen's words are conditional.
To achieve such a result, Princess Rong must confirm whether the prince is well or not. For this reason, even if she confronts Yun Zishu head-on, she must get a definite answer.
She could even unite with other wives from the clan and force her into the prince's mansion on the grounds that the princess "held the prince hostage and had evil intentions" - although this was a bit risky.
After hearing her words, Prince Rong and his son felt a little risky, "If the prince is safe and sound, wouldn't it mean that Prince Rong's palace is suspected of being treasonous? The prince and the princess will definitely not give up."
"Wealth is sought in danger." Princess Rong frowned, "The Queen's intention is obviously that she is dissatisfied with the Prince. Although she said that she wanted me to confirm the situation in the Prince's Mansion, the implication is that she wants to change the Prince. If we don't
What if the Queen seizes this opportunity and gives the opportunity to Dong Lingsheng instead?"
King Rong was obviously worried: "Even if the queen wants to change the prince, she can't decide on this matter."
But if they offend the prince and princess, they may soon end up with the same result as Xuanjun Prince's Palace.
"Father is right to be concerned." Donglingzhang frowned slightly, "The most urgent task is to find out as soon as possible whether the prince is seriously ill——"
"How can you, father and son, be so indecisive and indecisive?" Princess Rong interrupted him impatiently, "Whether the queen can make the decision or not, she is still the master of the harem! As soon as the prince dies, the emperor will
There are no other heirs. Right now, you and Dong Lingsheng are the only ones qualified to adopt the Queen as her legitimate sons. You can’t understand such a simple situation? The Queen not only wants to depose the prince, but also wants the prince to die. Can’t you listen?
Do you understand?!"
King Rong's expression suddenly changed: "Please lower your voice."
"There are no outsiders here, so what are you afraid of?" Princess Rong frowned, "Prince Cheng's Mansion has announced their marriage to the Minister of Civil Affairs with great fanfare, and even the wedding date has been set. You still don't understand their intentions?"
King Rong looked at his son: "Zhang'er, what do you think?"
Dong Lingzhang was silent for a moment: "If what mother said is true, I think we can give it a try."
"But--"
"I originally wanted to start with the Queen." Dong Lingzhang said in a deep tone, "The Queen hates the Crown Princess extremely much, and her relationship with the Crown Prince is also incompatible, so it is entirely possible for her to abandon the Crown Prince and his wife for her own benefit."
Princess Rong nodded: "That's what I mean."
"The queen is used to being high and mighty. If she doesn't see hope in her son, then it is entirely possible for her to choose someone she can control to be the prince." Dong Lingzhang continued, "And now we have to
What I do is to make the Queen firmly believe that I am someone she can control."
King Rong looked surprised, making the queen think that he was someone she could control?
"Not only that, I also want the queen to believe that as long as I ascend the throne as emperor in the future, she will be the most noble Queen Mother in the palace, and no one can shake her status."
"Mom, please be patient." Dong Lingzhang obviously knew the reason for her unhappy expression, "We must make the queen trust us now. As for what will happen in the future, she will not have the final say."
Princess Rong thought for a while and nodded slowly: "I will contact several royal princes tonight and go visit His Highness the Crown Prince early tomorrow morning."
It was settled at this point.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Yun Zishu's appetite is greatly reduced, especially meat food. In order to take care of her body, the small kitchen makes delicious vegetarian dishes for her in different ways every day. Even Pandan often goes to the small kitchen to help.
After lunch, Yun Zishu would rest for half an hour. Even though there were two basins of ice cubes placed in the hall to cool down, she still looked a little sad, "How is the situation outside recently?"
"Lian Yue is watching outside, everything is under control." Leng Yue poured a glass of sour plum juice for Yun Zishu, "The marriage between Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been decided. In August. Princess Rong
She was summoned into the palace by the queen, and the two talked secretly for a while. When Princess Rong walked out of Fengyi Palace, she looked uncontrollably excited. It must be that the queen had promised something to her."
Yun Zishu said nothing, quietly closing her eyes in deep thought.
"Lian Yue said she would focus on Prince Rong's Mansion tonight." Leng Yue looked at the tired look on Yun Zishu's brows and eyes, and couldn't help but worry, "It's been too hot these two days, and His Highness doesn't seem to be in good spirits. Let's wait until the heat cools down a bit.
It might be more comfortable if you go down there.”
Yun Zishu drank the sour plum juice and looked tired: "Are women especially afraid of heat when they are pregnant?"
"It should be." Leng Yue nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
Yun Zishu glanced at her miserably: "To say it's hard work would seem hypocritical. After all, no matter how hard it is, it can't compare to you. In such a hot day, Lian Yue still has to collect intelligence outside. You and Leng Shuang still need a while.
Stay with me—"
"His Highness said these words, which made the subordinates panic." Leng Yue smiled and confessed, "Protecting the master and performing tasks are the duties of the subordinates. How can we be compared with the Crown Princess?"
Yun Zishu was about to say something when she heard this, but she turned her eyes and saw Sicang walking in from the outside. He was calm and capable in a black robe, and he looked more and more like a born king.
Leng Yue bowed and left, but Yun Zishu stopped her: "Has there been any movement in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion recently?"
Leng Yue replied: "About seven or eight days ago, the old lady of the Hou Mansion was called into the palace by the Queen's decree to talk. Since then, the Hou Mansion has been very peaceful until now."
"So, Situ Wan's injuries should have almost recovered." Yun Zishu raised a smile and then calmly ordered, "Send someone to send a message to Marquis Zhongyi, saying that he will tell you at the beginning of this month in the Inner City Palace
Outside the door, his wife tampered with my carriage, trying to cause an accident to slip the child out of my belly."
Leng Yue responded respectfully: "I'll go right away."
"Don't let Situ Wan die." Yun Zishu said calmly, "Tell Marquis Zhongyi that I just want her to learn a lesson and it will not affect the succession of the Marquis' family."
"yes!"
At that moment, Sicang's eyes were extremely cold. Even though he had already heard Leng Yue report the matter, he still could not restrain the murderous aura in his chest.
"Come and sit down." Yun Zishu looked up at him, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you looking so cold? Situ Wan's methods are despicable. She will pay the price for her actions, so there is no need to be angry."
