Chapter 477

Wei Xi frowned and swept his son’s eyes, seeing Wei Pi subconsciously stop his mouth and straighten his features, before he coldly hummed, “If you continue to be so startled when things go wrong, how can I rest assured that I’ll leave Rui Yu Tang to you in the future?”

After knocking a sentence, in the end, he explained, “Gu Shao did this, in fact, not for the sake of pitting the Empress and her mother and our family, but also for the sake of letting His Majesty out of his anger!”

“That His Majesty of ours grew up too privileged, so it’s inevitable that he’s a bit hard on the eyes.”

“This time the Empress has let him down, and because the Crown Prince is his only male heir, he can’t do much about the Empress but if he just persuades His Majesty to stop, even if he is forced to agree, he will certainly harbor a grudge!”

“So that the Empress, even though she retains the throne as well as the power of the palace, is loathed by His Majesty, what do you think can be done for them mother and son?!”

“Gu Shao’s move, seemingly trapping the Empress and her mother and son in an unfavorable situation, is in fact to bring this matter to an end here, lest His Majesty be haunted by it again in the future!”

“But that is the power of the six palaces after all!” Wei Pi felt that this reason was not enough, “The Empress has already displeased His Majesty, and if she loses her authority again, after the newcomer enters the palace, won’t it be a repeat of the scourge of Shentu and Zhenyuan when His Majesty, Emperor Huizong, was in power?”

Wei Xi heatedly said, “Your eyes … you think Gu Shao personally, only so much calculation?!”

Seeing that his son was still confused, he sighed in disappointment, “Of all the sons and daughters in my lap, there is none more outstanding than the Empress, and on the contrary, she’s a girl alas, when will you be able to match a tenth of your eldest sister?”

Wei Pi was extremely depressed, but he didn’t dare to retort, and got up and hung his hands down, saying, “Child is unfilial, letting father down!”

“His Majesty has long had the intention of eradicating the two kings of Su Xiang.” Wei Xi faintly said, “Do you think the two kings will willingly tie their hands?!”

Wei Pi was stunned at his words and could not help but say, “What father means is that Gu Shao’s move is also intended to give the two kings of Su Xiang a chance?”

This opportunity is naturally a chance to assist the Empress and her mother and son and gain a chance of survival.

And what Wei Pi couldn’t figure out was, “Why would Gu Shao do this? He was the one who helped His Majesty from the very beginning! To say that he was favored by the Second King of Su Xiang, but what favor could the Second King of Su Xiang have to impress him now?!”

“Why did Gu Shao help His Majesty in the first place?” Wei Xi asked without answering.

Wei Pi immediately choked: Gu Shao Youyou forest for nearly twenty years, a rise, nominally Empress Wei proposed to let his son worship, in fact, is the meaning of the Emperor Xianjia.

And would Emperor Xianjia, though he wanted his eldest son to succeed him, want his own flesh and blood to kill each other?

So when this late emperor entrusted Emperor Duanhua to Gu Shao before his death, would he not privately mention the two kings of Su Xiang?

“In the end, Gu Shao’s true loyalty is to the previous emperor, not this current sire.” Wei Xi snickered, “Otherwise, regardless of Xiang Wang, Su Wang’s foreign family has such a great influence in the military, after the late Emperor’s death, Su Wang and Su family knew that their future was slim, but they didn’t immediately rise up to fight do you think that they were afraid that Empress Su, Su Shaoge, and Su Bofeng were all in the imperial capital? Most likely, they were secretly told by Gu Shao that he would try to mediate for King Su and the Su family, so that they would not make any unwarranted moves!”

Wei Pi mused, “How could the two kings of Su Xiang trust Gu Shao so much? What if after they help the Empress and her son, Gu Shao gets hold of them and says that they are ambitious and takes advantage of the opportunity to poison them?”

“This is what Gu Shao and the two kings of Su Xiang have to consider.” Wei Xi narrowed his eyes and said, “What our family has to do now is to submit a plea for pardon in the end, the Empress is guilty of jealousy, isn’t she?”

As Wei Xi watched his son write the petition form, Mr. and Mrs. Jian Xu Bai were frowning as they left the Grand Princess Jin’s residence.

They were not prevented from going out today, they came early in the morning.

It was only a pity that the rotating County Princess Qing Jiang went into the inner room with Jia Yao to serve for a while, and came out apologetically to tell them that the Grand Princess of Jin’s current state was still not very stable, and I’m afraid it wasn’t suitable to see the couple.

County Princess Qingjiang explained: ”Originally, Mother had already begun to improve, and asked about you two days ago. However, once Song Lu’s matter came out, learned that Auntie Dai Guo and Auntie’s father were forced to die, Mother was furious on the spot, and the fire attacked her heart, once again injuring her vitality, and the Imperial Doctor said that she would have to lie down for some more days! And this period can no longer be stimulated, otherwise … afraid to hurt the life expectancy!”

Hearing that it would lead to the short life of the Grand Princess of Jin, Mr. and Mrs. Jian Xu Bai naturally did not dare to mention the matter of the interview again.

Song Yixiao asked with some doubts, “During Second Auntie’s recuperation period, how could someone else say those messy things to Second Auntie, causing Second Auntie to rise up in anger in the middle of her couch?”

“This is something that can’t be helped!” Qingjiang County Lord sniffed, a touch of helplessness appeared on her face, and she whispered, “Two days ago, Royal Grandmother argued with His Majesty at the Qingxi Palace, resulting in the calling of the Imperial Physician, do you know about that?”

This matter would have made a big fuss, but because Gu Shao arrived in time and convinced the Empress Dowager to issue a gagging order, it was a big deal that was minimized.

And after that Gu Shao exposed the King of Liang, causing a series of storms, the dynasty and the field to see the dizzying, by and large, did not notice this matter.

However, Jian Xubai as a royal relative, but also the Empress Dowager personally raised, close to the water first, naturally know something.

At this moment, he suddenly said, “But afterward, someone from the Qingxi Palace came to see Second Auntie?”

Although the Dowager Empress had rested her case under Gu Shao’s persuasion.

But the two grandchildren in the end greatly tore their faces apart in this current situation, the only one suitable to come out to mediate was the Grand Princess of Jin.

Even if they knew that the Grand Princess of Jin was on her deathbed, Jade Fruit and the others couldn’t help but make a quiet trip for the sake of the Empress Dowager.

And since they were going to tell the Grand Princess of Jin about the matter of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua tearing themselves apart, they naturally had to bring along a few words about the truth of the deaths of the Grand Princess of Dai Guo and her wife so naturally, they couldn’t hide it.

Seeing that Sheriff Qing Jiang nodded slightly, the couple smiled bitterly at each other and could not say anything.

After all, Jade Fruit and the others were the Empress Dowager’s inner circle, and with the Empress Dowager as their priority, they had no reason to blame.

After not being able to see the Grand Princess of Jin, the couple spoke with the Princess of Qingjiang and asked Zhuo Pingan how the concubine’s pregnancy was going well, before taking their leave.

Outside the mansion, Song Yi smiled and suggested, “Why don’t we go to Grandmother’s place to take a look?”

“I’m afraid that grandmother won’t say.” Jian Xu Bai pinched his brow and said without much hope, “You think about the time when grandmother suddenly distanced herself from us and became close to the Su family, and when we repeatedly asked for the reason, she refused to tell us.”

“What about trying?” Song Yi laughed, “Around the same time, we don’t have anything urgent to do now that we’re returning to the residence, not to mention that we haven’t visited our elders for a few days.”

Jane Hubai thought about it, so he ordered the driver to turn around and go to the old lady Duanmu’s residence.

After arriving at the place, the old madam was very happy to see them, but when she saw that Jane Qingyue and other latecomers didn’t come, she showed some disappointment, “Why didn’t the children bring them here today?”

“The three children have gotten together and are making a lot of noise, so I’m afraid I’m disturbing you!” Song Yixiao casually pulled an excuse and smiled, “How has grandmother been?”

When Old Lady Duanmu heard this, she thought that the couple wanted to use this method to force herself to move to the Duke of Yan Mansion, so she couldn’t help but smile as well, “Very well! If you guys often bring your children to see me, then I’ll be even better off!”

“If you’re willing to move to the State Duke’s Mansion, it’ll be easier for the children to come to you to greet you, won’t it?” Song Yixiao said, “You just won’t give us a chance to fulfill our filial duties!”

Old Lady Duanmu smiled, “How is it that I haven’t given you guys a chance anymore? Aren’t you guys right in front of me now?”

After exchanging such pleasantries for a while, the old madam could see that they seemed to have something to say, so she found an excuse to send the two grandchildren away Song Yixiao saw the situation and said, “I learned how to make two desserts at home two days ago, and it seems that the two cousins have mentioned the flavors that grandma loves to eat? Why don’t I go to the kitchen and make them, Grandmother don’t think I’m not good with my hands!”

Old Lady Duanmu could see that she was also trying to avoid it, and looked at Jian Xu Bai with some surprise, and resumed laughing, “That won’t do! If you don’t do a good job, you’ll be penalized for coming back and redoing it!”

“Grandmother said so, I’ll have to show my real skills!” Song Yi smiled and joked with her, Fu Fu also went to the kitchen: Jane Void White to ask about his real life, will inevitably involve the character of the previous generation, although she is the wife of the married couple, in the end it is not suitable to listen to the audience.

She went to the kitchen and told the people inside that she wanted to personally make dim sum for Old Lady Duanmu, and the underlings naturally didn’t dare to slow down and helped out with the work.

Counting the time, Song Yixiao spent more than an hour, made two desserts, and cut a few seasonal fruits, set up a fruit plate, let moss Jin to go to the back room to poke around, heard that the doors and windows of the back room are open, the grandchildren two are inside to eat tea and talk and laugh, and only then ordered people to serve desserts and fruit plate, and a piece of the trip.

At this time, Old Lady Duanmu and Jian Xubai of course did not say anything, only smiled and used the pastries and fruits, complimented Song Yixiao’s craftsmanship for a few moments, and also dispersed.

After going out, Song Yixiao hurriedly asked, “How was it?”

“Go back and talk!” Jian Xu Bai’s expression was calm, unable to tell if he was excited or lost, and only gave a silent gesture, signaling that this was not the place to talk.

A few moments later the two returned to the house, only to enter the door, but heard the bottom of the people welcome up to report, “The palace passed the news out, His Majesty personally ascertained that the death of the concubine Cui Jianren, is the Empress Mother and …” said here subconsciously glanced at the Song Yixiao, ambiguous past, only to The official result of the disposition is not out yet, but I heard that His Majesty intends to take away the Empress Mother’s power of the six palaces, and let the Empress Mother immediately recuperate for some days.”

The implication of the words was nothing more than the fact that even Empress Wei, the Emperor’s wedded wife, had been punished in such a way, not to mention Song Yixiao, who was a subject’s wife.

Both husband and wife heard the face is a change, Jian Xubai which still have the heart to say to his wife with the results of the old lady DuanMu talk alone? While walking towards the inner room, he said, “I will change my clothes and go to the palace to ask! You take care of the children, don’t worry, just a little Cui’s, his majesty is not so bad that he won’t give me face!”

He had only left on the front foot when Yuan Xuexie came to the door on the back foot, “Shan Myrtle, do you know the news that came out of the palace?”

“Don’t be in a hurry don’t be in a hurry how come you went out in person again?” Song Yixiao was just being pestered by her daughter and her righteous son to tell a story, when she heard that she had come, she scrambled out to meet her, looking at her hobbling appearance, she only felt a good headache, “Told you, you’re getting older now, it’s not good to run around like this anymore!”

“I can’t let go of my heart if I don’t personally come over!” Yuan Xuexie pulled her arm, her eyes were full of tension and worry, “This matter, wasn’t there already a conclusion at that time? Why is it being rehashed now?”

Song Yixiao was about to answer her when the people underneath came to report again, saying that Xie Yi Ren had come.

Followed by Song Luoyan, Wei Yinlian, Pei Yourui, and even that Xia side consort of the Hengshan Royal House, who sent her subordinates over to greet
