Mrs. Cai still didn't know what she said, so she said it completely. "Although the princess did not grow up in the capital, Mr. Xie Ge didn't ask your mother-in-law for advice before leaving the cabinet! Isn't this even basic?"
Don’t even know the truth?
So what if you have a first-grade imperial edict? That's just an honor. Where did you get the power and courage to imprison me like this?
I do want to feel majestic, but I also have to think about my identity, and it is better not to bring trouble to the prince, otherwise people who don’t know will think that you are not Princess Chen, but the empress holding the phoenix seal!"
Mrs. Cai is actually not totally irrational.
On the contrary, she knew that what the powerful prince feared most was nothing but those two words - rebellion.
King Chen will be no exception.
This Princess Chen didn't know the bounds of heaven and earth and locked herself up. Wasn't she afraid of causing trouble to Prince Chen?
In fact, it is not very important whether such a thing as conspiracy has always existed. As long as those above believe it, as long as it is even remotely involved, it will not be easy to get rid of it.
She believed that Xie Songhua was just an ignorant country girl who only gained her current status once she became powerful. Naturally, she would avoid such things and even become fearful.
As long as Xie Songhua feels like this, the dominant position in the conversation will be in her hands.
However, what surprised her was that the woman sitting there didn't even change her posture, but the smile on her face was gone. She looked a bit more majestic than before.
Mrs. Cai's tone weakened subconsciously, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't want to..."
"It seems that it's not that I didn't learn the rules well. Mrs. Cai has been away from the capital for many years and has completely forgotten many taboos."
As if to isolate people thousands of miles away, "Have you recorded everything you just said?"
Xiao Qing nodded at the side and said: "Princess, don't worry, the documents are all outside the door, and all the conversations Mrs. Cai just had have been recorded in the book."
Xie Songhua nodded lightly, "Send it to Mr. Cai!"
"yes!"
Mrs. Cai looked puzzled, but she quickly understood the words and said quickly: "What are you going to do? What are you going to give to my husband?"
"Mr. Cai is loyal and upright. He has been in Datong for so many years. He has always taken the people of Datong at heart. He is also loyal to His Majesty and the court. He has cooperated flawlessly with the prince for so many years. I think he may not be able to understand Madam.
Talkative.
At the same time, it seems to me that the misunderstanding between you husband and wife is not small, and your thoughts are completely different. I think handing these things to Mr. Cai will make it easier for Mr. Cai to deepen his understanding of Madam. For Madam,
Isn’t it a bad thing?”
"You..." Mrs. Cai was a little panicked, "Are you threatening me?"
"I have no such interest," Xie Songhua said calmly, "It's just that Madam probably doesn't know what the crime is for making such arrogant comments about the current prince. Mr. Cai is a local magistrate in Datong and is familiar with the laws of this dynasty. This matter is left to him.
It might be more fair to do it.
Madam obviously has some distrust of me, but you and Mr. Cai are husband and wife, so I cannot trust you more."
"No!" Seeing Xiao Qing about to go out, Mrs. Cai panicked.
She still doesn't know her husband's temperament.
If her husband wasn't so upright, foolish and loyal, how could she secretly sneak things out of the warehouse?
If this thing is really delivered to the husband, and he checks it carefully, he may really be able to divorce his wife.
Just now, she was only focusing on using such words to scare Xie Songhua, but she forgot that she could not say such words in her status. So what if it aroused the emperor's suspicion?
How can her little pawn survive? Even for the sake of a few children, her husband would not dare to keep him.
"Princess, I... I was just angry for a moment. I have been here for so many days, cold and scared. I have been locked up so hard that I am so disrespectful. Please, Princess, please don't remember the faults of others.
Please spare me this time!"
Xie Qionghua on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Mrs. Cai's other abilities are not as great as anyone else's, but this ability to change faces is the only one I've seen in my life."
Mrs. Cai also wanted to save face. Being ridiculed in front of her like this, she felt a little embarrassed on her face.
But after being locked up here for so many days, how could she dare to have her usual temper?
Immediately he said: "It's all because of my wife's stupidity that... I ended up like this. Now that I know I was wrong, can this matter... just leave it like this?"
She said, carefully looking at the two sisters in front of her.
However, Xie Songhua and Xie Qionghua seemed not to hear what she said, and still looked at her quietly, as if to see how she wanted to make excuses.
The two of them clearly didn't say a word, but it was more despairing than the harsh words.
Mrs. Cai's voice also weakened, "Princess, for the sake of my wife being really busy and helping me during this period, please don't argue with me about this matter anymore!
My wife is just stupid and said some stupid things. As for leaving the capital... The princess also knows that I have no knowledge at all. Seeing the war and the princess coming to Datong, she panicked.
This is also human nature. If I knew it would have such a big impact, I would not do it at all. Our master has been in Datong for so many years and is so loved by the people. For the sake of his official reputation, I would not do this either.
ah!"
Gu Jinyuan didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and just said calmly: "That day you were stopped at the city gate, and then you were sent directly to me, and I never sent anyone to tell you what happened outside.
Then I'm a little curious, what did you mean by having such a big impact? What impact did it have? How did it affect your master's official reputation?" Mrs. Cai said dumbly.
Xie Songhua sneered and said: "You clearly know everything. If you do this, you clearly understand what will happen outside and what will happen in Datong. You are just selfish!
You just want to run out by yourself and don't want to guard with Datong, and you don't care about the harm caused by running out like this. You are so selfish for your sake, how dare you ask us for mercy?"
Xie Qionghua's words left Mrs. Cai speechless and unable to deny it.
In the end, she could only turn her eyes for help to Xie Songhua, "Princess, I really know that I was wrong. This will never happen again. Please forgive me this time."
Xie Songhua glanced at her appearance and then at Xie Qionghua, "Sister, tell me, how should we handle this matter?"
Xie Qionghua shrugged, "Don't ask me, I'm not that capable and can handle a court order."
When Mrs. Cai heard this, hope ignited in her heart, and she quickly said: "Princess, I am also a foreign wife canonized by the imperial court, so you can't not give me a chance!"
"Of course you have to give. As you said before, I don't have any right to punish you. But since I am here now and something like this happened, I naturally can't turn a blind eye. So, let me tell you two ways.
Mrs. Cai, it’s up to you to choose which way to go, what do you think?”
Hope lit up in Mrs. Cai's eyes. Seeing Xie Songhua breathing lightly, she knew that the next choice was very important and related to the final outcome of what she had caused. "Princess, please tell me, I..."
I will definitely listen to the princess in everything."
