Xie Boting leaned against the carriageway and said, "If I am looking for you about the jade bracelet, the old lady will not make things difficult for you."
But otherwise, he couldn't guarantee it.
After returning to Jingnan Palace, the two of them entered the inner courtyard and went directly to the old lady's Songhe Hall.
When walking around the screen, I happened to hear the third wife and the others chatting about the raid on the Duke's mansion in the early morning. The fourth wife gloated, "I don't know who is so ambitious, but I guessed that the emperor was thinking of the late empress's old love, and stayed here."
Instead of giving rewards to his subjects, he secretly hid weapons and gold inside the Duke's mansion. He didn't expect to be discovered and was seized in a pot. It is said that there were ten big boxes of gold alone."
The third wife drank the tea ceremony and said, "If I remember correctly, today should be the birthday of the deceased old lady of Zhenguo Gongfu. More than ten years ago, I went to congratulate her before I left the boudoir."
The second wife was surprised and said, "The third sister-in-law still remembers the old things from more than ten years ago."
The third wife smiled and said, "I have a good memory. I remember that after I congratulated the old lady of Zhen Guo Gongfu on her birthday, it was Bao Sheng Buddha's birthday in a few days. Then I went to pray for blessings and met my husband...
.”
After saying this, the second wife also remembered it and sighed, "The Zhenguo Palace was so beautiful at that time, even our Jingnan Palace could not match it. Who would have thought that it would collapse so quickly, but the Zhenguo Palace was so beautiful."
Isn’t there not a lot of people left in the Duke’s Mansion? How come there are still people who remember the birthday of Mrs. Zhen Guogong, and even if they want to pay homage, they have to go to the grave, so how can they get to the Duke’s Mansion?”
The third master came in from the other side, and the third wife asked him, "Does the master know anything about the Zhenguo Palace?"
The third master sat down and said, "It's the people from the old Prince Xin's house who went out to do business early in the morning. They saw someone sneaking around outside the Zhenguo Duke's house, so they went in and took a look, and found that there were weapons hidden inside. Old Prince Xin
Afraid of overstepping the mark, I sent people to surround the Zhenguo Palace and asked the emperor for an order to search, and then I got rid of it all at once."
Going out to do errands early in the morning...
Aren't those her father and Uncle Li?
Su Tang and Xie Boting walked in. She was worried about being questioned, but no one asked her a word. She believed that what happened in the old prince's court was something that her daughter's family could not know.
The old lady asked Xie Boting, "Is Mr. Yun San's condition worsening?"
Xie Boting said, "My father-in-law is worried, so he asked me to take Dr. Jia to have a look. It's just Zhang Fangzi."
The old lady served a tea ceremony and said, "Old Prince Xin has made countless achievements in his life, but troubles have happened one after another in Prince Xin's palace. It is a blessing among misfortunes that Mr. Yun San can recover."
Finding out that someone in Kyoto was hoarding weapons and gold was another great achievement. In fact, as old Prince Xin, he no longer needed merit to secure his power. As an imperial uncle, no one dared to disrespect him. But this time
I don't know who I have provoked. Anyone who has the guts to stock up on weapons is someone who wants to bring down the emperor, and he must be very revengeful.
The old lady's eyes fell on Su Tang. If Su Tang still wanted to find her, she would not bring up the matter of the palace. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't escape. She stepped forward and saluted and said, "I'm worried that something will happen to Prince Xin's palace. I'm in a hurry."
When I returned home with my husband, I didn’t come to say hello to the old lady first, and also asked the old lady to forgive Su Tang for the crime of disrespect."
The old lady smiled and said, "Filial piety comes first, and it is a good thing to put parents first."
After a pause, the old lady continued, "It's just that you were ignorant and didn't know who Jinyue Pavilion belonged to, so you rashly asked someone to get ten jade bracelets and gave them all to Wei'er. In order not to be stingy, you
It is understandable that he would do this because of his reputation, but Jin Yue Ge said that selling fake jade bracelets to Rou'er was just to test Rou'er's eyesight, so this matter is not easy to handle."
Her face was kind and her words were gentle. Not only was she not making things difficult, she even felt that she did the right thing. She was right to give the jade bracelet to Xie Wei. What was wrong was that she didn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds and let Princess Nankang hold on to her.
