After returning to the palace, Wan Cheng and Zhu Jing went to the Imperial Study Room. The two reported back to Emperor Xiaoxian what they saw and heard in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, as well as Su Liangji's situation.
But although they knew that Su Liangji was pretending to be unconscious, they did not inform Emperor Xiaoxian of this matter.
After all, this matter is big or small. Su Liangji is still the Prime Minister now. Who knows if this matter is said through their mouths and spread to his ears later, he will be resented?
Emperor Xiaoxian listened expressionlessly to the replies of the two people in front of him. He raised his hand and waved lightly to send them out. He wanted to be alone and think about what to do next.
As his right-hand man, Su Liangji had indeed done a lot for him. But now Su Wan came out halfway and abruptly cut off Su Liangji's "road".
If it was just a competition between father and daughter, he, the emperor, could just sit back and watch. At the worst, he could find someone trustworthy in the court and promote him to the position of prime minister.
But the things that Su Liangji caused were not trivial, and now everyone knows about it. When Su Liangji gets well, if he confronts Su Wan, there is no guarantee that he, the emperor, will not be involved.
Zhaoyue believed in repaying kindness. He had already sorry for Su Wan twice. If he did it again, I'm afraid his image in the hearts of the people would no longer exist!
…
In Changning Palace, Zhan Wenlin sat on a chair and sighed. During this period of time under house arrest in the palace, she also thought about many things.
Just now, Zhan Wenxuan came over to sit, looked at the decorations in her room, and told her everything that happened in the capital yesterday.
"The things in the Prime Minister's Palace, as well as her and Su Yun's dowry in the Prince Xian's Palace, have all been in her hands. Now there are only these in your palace. She personally said that there is no need to send them back."
"She said that she personally sent these things, and even if they were sent back, she would not accept them. After all, when calculating the dowry left to her by her mother, she had already excluded all these things from your palace.
——”
Maybe it's because I've been thinking about Su Wan more recently. Even Zhan Wenlin has a different feeling about her now.
If she had known this kind of Su Wan from the beginning and stayed with her longer, wouldn't what happened before happen?
It's just a pity that the time that has passed will never come back. And she herself doesn't know how long she will be under house arrest...
In the food box on the table is a cake that Zhan Wenxuan sent to the snack shop early in the morning. Because Zhan Wenlin said she wanted to eat it last time, but she didn't eat it in the end. She thought she was still safe in the palace during this period.
If they were not noisy or noisy, I brought her a portion of each kind.
The sweet fragrance spread in the room, arousing the greed in Zhan Wenlin's stomach.
Lian Zi understood Zhan Wenlin's every move best. Seeing her looking towards the food box, he knew she wanted to eat cake. He asked someone to get the bowls and chopsticks, and warned: "Although the snacks are delicious, Princess
Don’t eat too much, otherwise you won’t be able to eat anything for lunch—”
Zhan Wenlin took the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table, and couldn't wait to open the food box. She said without raising her head: "Aunt Lian Zi, there is no need to remind me, this princess knows——"
Lian Zi saw that Zhan Wenlin did not shut herself in the room alone recently, and knew that she had slowly accepted the facts. Moreover, Zhan Wenxuan also advised her: face what should be faced, and let go of what should be faced.
You have to let it go. If you continue to hold on to it, it won’t be good for anyone.
Now Zhan Wenlin has obviously listened to all these words and has taken action.
The delicate cake had just filled the bowl when a eunuch sang from outside: "The third princess has arrived - the fourth princess has arrived -"
Zhan Wenxuan originally had a smile on his face, but after hearing the eunuch's voice, his smile suddenly disappeared. He glanced at the food box on the table and the cake that was already in the bowl, and quickly asked Lian Zi to take it to the small kitchen and hide it.
.
Although Zhan Wenlin was Emperor Xiaoxian's favorite princess, she had always fallen into the hands of those two people since she was a child.
What's even more irritating is that every time she went to complain to Emperor Xiaoxian, she was suppressed by the queen in the end. She just said, "Just let the fight between children be over. Don't worry too much."
Later, Zhan Wenlin also learned her lesson. If she can't offend her, why can't she hide from her? At worst, she should take a detour when she sees those two people, so they won't chase after them!
This time she was grounded, and there were endless rumors about her being tired of her father and falling out of favor.
It's not that Zhan Wenlin doesn't know who is behind this rumor. It's just that she doesn't want to disappoint Emperor Xiaoxian again, and would rather stay in Changning Palace than clamor to go out...
