Chapter 496 Retaliate with the way of others
"Mrs. Tai, if you go into the palace and ask the queen to intercede on behalf of Concubine Zhao, won't you be asking the queen to disobey the emperor?
If the emperor gets angry and finds out that it was you who came to the palace to talk about this, will he feel that the Duke's Palace is too powerful and even wants to influence the Holy Will?
If this happens, wouldn't it make the Duke of Guo angry?
Mrs. Zhao is going to put the Duke's Mansion to death! "
Ms. Zhao was stunned after hearing these words. She had never thought so much, and no one had ever said these words to her.If Aunt Qian was still here, she would only persuade her to go to the palace to teach the queen a lesson, and ask the queen to go to the emperor to plead for mercy and take back her life.
Only at this moment did Zhao think of one thing, that person was not only her son-in-law, but also an emperor.
No emperor wants to be manipulated.
What if the emperor really thinks that the Duke's office is too powerful and wants to control him?The Duke of Guo is very loyal, but he has never thought of disobeying the emperor.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't lie still anymore and struggled to sit up, feeling extremely anxious.
"Guizhi, what have you heard? Could it be that the queen was jealous of Concubine Zhao's favor and asked the emperor to demote Concubine Zhao to a concubine?" Someone came to tell her the news just after the incident happened, and that's what they said.
"Madam, you have been deceived.
If the queen could really let the emperor do this, how great would it be to directly ask the emperor to appoint the twelve princes as crown princes?
in reality--"
"What is it, tell me quickly."
"My slave, I tell you boldly, you must not get angry. This matter starts from Prince Rui's Mansion. After Prince Rui got the errand in Lingnan, he aroused the jealousy of many people and wanted to secretly do harm to Prince Rui.
However, Prince Rui was favored by the emperor, and he was far away in Lingnan, so they had no way to take action, so those people set their sights on Prince Rui's Mansion.
Princess Rui became seriously ill as a result, and was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed.
Therefore, some people deliberately spread rumors that Princess Rui was a spy from Dachu, intending to slander Prince Rui. "
"Princess Rui is really in the palace?" Ms. Zhao thought for a while, "That's not right. When the emperor checks and finds out that Princess Rui is in the palace, won't this matter be impossible?"
"Madam, you think too simply. Those people have planned it well. Even if Princess Rui appears, it can be said that she just came back. At this time, there will be witnesses who say that they saw Princess Rui Yunyun at the border of Dachu.
If the emperor was a little more suspicious, he would punish Prince Rui.
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, as long as a seed is planted in the emperor's heart.
After waiting for one thing after another, think about it, will the emperor believe it every time? "
Mrs. Zhao was just a housewife, how could she understand this? She was stunned for a moment.
"Fortunately, there is a queen in the palace. When Concubine Zhao wanted to frame Princess Rui, the queen appeared and asked people to carry the seriously ill Princess Rui into the palace. Even the imperial doctor was saying that Princess Rui was very lucky, otherwise she would be...
The emperor was furious when he learned that someone had framed Prince Rui, and then he dealt with Concubine Zhao.
It was clear that Concubine Zhao wanted to plot against Prince Rui, and she would only be punished after she was found out.
If it really had something to do with the queen, it was just the queen who exposed Concubine Zhao's conspiracy in order to protect Prince Rui.
Madam, Prince Rui is your grandson. The Zhao family has gone too far. You care about family ties and help them again and again.
How about them?
They framed your grandson secretly, and after being exposed, they asked you to go into the palace to scold the queen and ask the queen to intercede on their behalf. Even the servants couldn't stand it. "
In fact, Ms. Zhao was not very smart, and she was ill, so she didn't even think about why a maid knew so much.
She just felt that what the maid said made sense. If this was really the case, she——
"Madam, think about it again. If you go into the palace and ask the queen to intercede for those who framed her, how uncomfortable will the queen feel? You are her biological mother, and you are still helping outsiders. Isn't this for your mother and daughter? Are people alienated?!"
boom!
It was as if something exploded in Zhao's mind.
She recalled how many times she had gone to the palace to find the queen for the Zhao family over the years. Every time her daughter got angry and quarreled with her, was it her fault?
Mrs. Zhao thought about how cute she was when she gave birth to two daughters. She already liked girls, so she was so happy to have two daughters at once. She even named them herself.
Xing Ran, she hopes her daughter can live a happy life.
But what has she done in these years?
Mrs. Zhao felt deep guilt in her heart, and she no longer wanted to go to the palace to plead for Concubine Zhao.
But, what should she tell the Zhao family?
"You saw it just now, sister-in-law...hey."
"Mrs. Mrs., don't forget, you are the wife of the old Duke. How could Mrs. Zhao talk to you like this? I can't say anything nice. The water thrown by the married daughter is thrown out. Whose daughter has to be taken care of after she is married? Family matters?
Even if you want to control it, you can't control it, right? "
Is that right?
Zhao's mind was in a mess. Over the years, people had been telling her that she should never forget the gift of childbirth, otherwise she would be unfilial.
As a daughter, she should consider her mother's family...
She thought again of her little married daughter, who asked her to help every time she came back, but never spoke for her or helped the Duke's government.
Guizhi helped Mrs. Zhao lie down on the bed considerately, covered her with a quilt, and let her think by herself.
After a while, Mr. Hao and Mr. Liu came, as did Duke Enguo.
Mrs. Liu started talking about the queen's fault again, and Mrs. Hao started to argue with her as usual. Mrs. Zhao, who was lying on the bed, had a headache from the noise and wanted to scold Mrs. Liu for what she said was wrong.Finally, her eyes fell on Duke Enguo.
"Boss, what do you think about this?"
Duke Enguo looked at Zhao with some surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Mother, the person who punished Concubine Zhao is the emperor."
Mrs. Zhao understood immediately that what Guizhi said was true!
*
What happened to the Duke reached Yun Shang's ears.
It turns out that the Zhao family has been trying to threaten him with the help of saving his life.Regardless of what happened back then, the Zhao family was originally the Zhao family's natal family, and it was right to help the Zhao family.The Duke's government has always remembered this kindness, and it has been repaid long ago.
If the Duke's Office hadn't thought of this kindness, how could the Zhao family be where they are today?
On the contrary, the person Tang Fan sent there was good. In fact, Yun Shang had thought about sending him there before, firstly to find out some information, and secondly to lobby around the Zhao family so that she would not be confused by the Zhao family again.
It's just that there was Aunt Qian here before, and Mrs. Zhao trusted Aunt Qian too much, and others couldn't get involved at all.
Now, Grandma Qian is dead.
The corners of Yun Shang's lips curled up. The Zhao family, including Concubine Zhao in the palace, had not yet realized the importance of Aunt Qian, so they took this opportunity to place their own people.By the time they reacted, it was too late.
After burning the letter in his hand, he picked up the pen and ink and wrote a letter, sending it to the palace.
Since Concubine Zhao took the initiative to come to the door, let’s start cleaning up from the Zhao family!
