Chapter 452

“Lu?!” Song Yixiao was greatly stunned, “How did she get involved in what happened in Qiongzhou?”

Song Luoyan helplessly spread her hands, “I don’t know yet but the news has been confirmed to be true, and worst of all, Lu seems to have the intention of burning this fire on her sister’s head!”

Song Yixiao’s face darkened, “This matter has nothing to do with me, how does she plan to set fire to my head?”

“It is said that brotherinlaw is His Majesty’s beloved, and has long had the intention of eradicating Her Highness the Grand Princess of the Dai Guo for His Majesty!” Song Luoyan explained softly and quickly, “So after the matter in Liaozhou was found to be related to the Grand Princess of Dai Guo, although His Majesty and the Empress Dowager had discussed the abolition of the Grand Princess of Dai Guo’s family as commoners, my brotherinlaw volunteered to take the heat for His Majesty, and therefore, through my sister, I asked Lu’s side to send a man to Qiongzhou to take the life of Fuyangbo Shi Zi to threaten the Grand Princess of Dai Guo and his wife! The life of Uncle Fuyang’s son was used to blackmail the Grand Princess and her wife! That’s why, when the minister arrived in Qiongzhou, the Grand Princess and her husband and wife were …”

“My husband’s holy favor, why would he need to do such a thing?!” Song Yixiao was exasperated and laughed, “Does Lu take the whole world as fools?!”

It’s okay to say that other people got the Grand Princess and her wife killed in order to curry favor with Emperor Duanhua, but how could Jian Xu Bai do that?

For one thing, with his relationship with Emperor Duanhua there was no need to curry favor like this; for another, his biggest backer was never Emperor Duanhua, but the Empress Dowager!

So how could Jian Xu Bai deal with the Empress Dowager’s own daughter? From the angle of interest, this is tantamount to cutting himself off from his backers; from the emotional point of view, Jian Xubai has no major grudges against the Grand Princess of Daikoku, and is even more deeply in love with the Empress Dowager, so how stupid would he have to be to do this?

“If she dares to do this, I’m afraid she must have a backhand!” Song Luoyan reminded, “Otherwise, no matter who instructed her to send someone to Qiongzhou to force the deaths of the Dai Guo Grand Princess and her wife, based on her involvement in this matter alone, the Empress Dowager definitely won’t be able to spare her! Along with her three young children, they will also not have a good ending! The current Emperor and Empress are both purely filial, and in this matter, they will definitely not stop the Empress Dowager from having an attack!”

Song Yixiao said, “Sister clearly said several times that she wouldn’t want the former head of the family’s property before she died, but that Lu still wants to do this to her! In fact, the things she sent out in the past two years are more than what the former head of the family instructed her to give to her sister, I really don’t know what this person is thinking!”

This is actually a bit of a test, Lu’s reputation as a stepmother has always been pretty good, and judging from the way she spreads money around, she’s not the kind of person who’s so miserly that she’s dead set on just getting in and getting out.

According to the Jiangnan Hall is now withered, Lu’s mother’s family and the tragedy, Lu’s should be very close to Song Yixiao this Yan State Lady not to let go, so as to borrow the power of Yan State House, shelter Song Yiyao three siblings grow up is.

How is it that instead of doing so, she is still scheming to harm Song Yixiao?

Even from the approach this time, it has reached the point where it is not afraid to die together to drag Song Yixiao into the water ordinary hatred is not so reckless, especially Lu’s knee three children are still so small, for the sake of the children, when the mother . The same thing should be done for the children, when the mother.

Song Luoyan was naturally curious as to what kind of entanglement there was between Song Yixiao and Lu.

Song Yixiao listen is heard out, but this thing if you want to explain all the words, must be involved in her biological father and mother’s name behind, of course, she will not say, only said, “Originally my stepmother to me or can, but since last year Cuihua Mountain smallpox things, Lu family full of ambush, she on me on the cold down. But about father’s living will, she did mention to me twice, but you also know, my halfbrother is still young, I’m not living on my own, but how can I bear to share things with him? That’s why I’ve turned down several requests from that side.”

“Now that I think about it, I don’t think my stepmother was trying to harm me for the sake of my father’s living will.”

“Mostly, it’s to take the anger of what happened to the Lu family to my head!”

Song Luoyan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow when she heard: ”This matter has long been clearly investigated by the Royal Family, and it was the Lu family that committed the sin in the front! How can you blame your sister? Speaking of brotherinlaw and Chao Ping is a great life, think of the royal second prince, that his highness was only how old? In vain Lu’s own is also when the mother of the people, all do not want to Mao Fei Maiden’s encounter, is not the Lu family caused by the hand! I really don’t know where she has the face to take it out on her sister?”

“Let’s not talk about this!” Song Yixiao murmured, “Lu alone, even if she hates me and wants to harm me, she may not be able to reach out to Qiongzhou! Besides, Auntie Dai Guo came from the time of Emperor Huizong, so she has already been through three dynasties, even if she is living in Qiongzhou, she is not easy to fool. If Lu doesn’t have any evidence in her hands, how can she try to scare Auntie Dai Guo with her empty words?”

Song Luoyan said, “I also think so, just the bottom people have not yet found out Lu behind the person … honestly, I also can not think of who is so intentional to murder sister brotherinlaw?”

“In my opinion, I’m afraid that this matter is a drunkard’s intention, looking at the Duke of Yan’s residence, but in reality, there is something else.” Song Yixiao thought for a moment and said, “You think that the Empress Dowager has been a little unsettled since the death of the late Emperor. This year, Liaozhou and Qiongzhou have reported bad news, which has caused her old man a lot of grief if we add this one, how can you say she can stand it? Second Auntie, I mean Her Royal Highness, the Grand Princess of Jin, is even younger than the Empress Dowager, how long has she been lying on the couch? So far I don’t dare to come close to serve, just afraid of inviting her sadness, is a readymade example.”

Song Luoyan exclaimed, “Sister is saying that this is directed at the Dowager Empress? But who is so bold as to dare to act against her old man?!”

Previously, when Jian Li Miao spoke this way in Liaozhou, Song Yixiao also found it hard to believe.

But this period of time combing down, she was also a bit of a clue, at this moment, sniffing, a slight sneer, “Do you think that now, who least wants the Empress Dowager to be well?”

After seeing Song Luoyan slightly stunned, suddenly pale, she profoundly said, “the upper good, the lower effective, originally is the most unusual situation! But a few years, some people and some things, I have already forgotten, it seems that some people have not forgotten ah! Of course, this is not surprising, after all, I was not the one who suffered losses back then!”

She used to think that the person who counted on the Empress Dowager was mostly harboring hatred towards the Empress Dowager, so she suspected that Shentu Noble Consort and Lady Zhenyuan were the remnants of these two; on the way from Liaozhou to the Imperial Capital, when she was bored with the rush, she carefully analyzed the whole process, and only then came to her senses: in fact, after their status has reached their level, they are more likely to have a murderous intent, not necessarily because of hatred, but because of Interests.

And the Dowager Empress never asked about political affairs, except for the family of the Grand Princess of Daikoku, as well as Qiu Shuxia’s lineage, this old man could be said to be uncontested.

Who would she be in the way of?

Or whose path would be paved by eradicating her?

Song Yixiao thought about it, and there was nothing more suspicious than the Cui family.

“Although the Cui family has produced two noble ladies in recent years, these two noble ladies are not blessed enough to enjoy a long life.” She pondered over the wording and said to Song Luyan, “In addition to the matter of the concubine Cui Jianren in the early years, it was greatly detrimental to the Emperor and Empress! So even though His Majesty, after ascending the throne, conferred the title of Marquis on Cui Ziyu in accordance with the rules, but other than that, there was no other reward, and he seldom summoned his uncle’s family.”

An unpopular marquis, with no power or influence, but just an extra salary every year!

How could the Cui family not be in a hurry?

Especially last year when the smallpox thing, Gu Shao because with Jane Ping Yu was a political enemy, asked to avoid suspicion, to end the emperor to find someone else to investigate thoroughly end the emperor after half a day of calculations, froze to send the empress of the father, did not think of their own uncle!

This was enough to prove the low status and weak presence of the Cui family in the Emperor’s mind.

“The talents of the Cui family’s children were never very good in the first place, or else they wouldn’t have been forgotten into the back of His Majesty’s mind.”

“What other way is there to get ahead than to redeem the heart of the Holy Spirit?”

Song Yixiao slightly sneered, “Empress Cui’s relationship with Auntie Dai Guo was the worst in her lifetime, and she was once humiliated by Auntie Dai Guo’s slap when His Majesty was in the Eastern Palace, he was also counted by Auntie Dai Guo! If the Cui family wants to please His Majesty, they should take Auntie Dai Guo to task, right?”

It’s just that although the family of the Grand Princess of the Dai Guo has fallen on hard times, they are not so good at moving, after all, the Dowager Empress and the Grand Princess of the Jin Guo are both still there.

So even though the Cui family wanted to kill this golden branch so as to please the emperor’s nephew, they didn’t dare to take this charge in the open!

Then they need scapegoats and it would certainly be best if, in finding a scapegoat, they got revenge along the way!

“Sister is saying that the Cui family holds a grudge against concubine Cui Jianren, and this time, they’ve specially colluded with the Lu family to plot against you?” Song Luoyan pondered for a moment and frowned, “Then what should we do now?”

“Naturally, it’s to expose them!” Song Yixiao said without hesitation, “Otherwise are we still waiting for them to plant evidence against the Duke of Yan’s Mansion?”

She knew that Song Luoyan’s question of “what to do” was not only a request for instructions on what to do next, but also a reminder that since Emperor Duanhua did not want the Empress Dowager to be in the way anymore, if this would be the time to poke at the Cui family and prevent the Empress Dowager from being stimulated into an accident, would the Emperor of Duanhua not be happy?

Although Song Luoyan knew that the Dowager Empress was one of the backers of the Duke of Yan’s residence, if this old man was alive, it would be a good thing for the Song Clan’s side branch that had formed an alliance with the Duke of Yan’s residence through the tie of kinship.

However, considering that Emperor Duanhua was likewise very close to the Duchy of Yan, if there were no surprises, the aged Dowager Empress was definitely going to go before Emperor Duanhua.

Therefore, if she offended Emperor Duanhua for the sake of the Empress Dowager, Song Luoyan would inevitably feel that it was inappropriate.

But Song Yixiao knew her husband’s feelings for the Dowager Empress, and in this matter, it was naturally impossible for her to merely consider what was at stake.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Song Luyan thought for a moment and said nothing more, only saying, “What my sister said is extremely true however, we don’t have any evidence of this in our hands now? Especially the Cui family!”

And there’s also a difficulty, ”The Cui family because they haven’t been eyecatching for the past two years, and His Majesty has rarely summoned them. So we didn’t pay too much attention to the Cui family, now suddenly we have to check if they have collusion with Lu, I’m afraid that it’s not a matter of days! I’m afraid that Lu will make a move during this period, then …”

Song Luoyan this branch is after all only side branch, these years and has been hibernating in Xiliang, now although began to start into the world, can use the manpower is also limited. It is not possible to say that the whole dynasty to keep an eye on all the civil servants surely can only focus on the care of highpowered or important position of the people.

And the Cui family has been rather obscure for the past two years, Song Luo Shi naturally will not waste manpower in the Cui House.

As a result, now that Song Yixiao suspects the Cui family, the support of the Song family’s side branches is somewhat unable to keep up.

“I’ll take care of this!” Song Yixiao pondered for a moment and said, “I know of someone who, even if he hasn’t been keeping an eye on the Cui family’s every move, would certainly be concerned if he knew that the Cui family was making any moves!”
