Chapter 506

“How is this possible?!” Song Yixiao was so shocked that she almost knocked over her tea bowl, she didn’t know how much of the Jinxiu Hall was still there now, so she didn’t doubt that Old Lady Duanmu had the ability to save concubine Lu Hehao, what she did doubt was, “Why would Grandmother do this?!”

Strictly speaking, the concubine Lu Hehao with Yan Houfu also did not have direct hostility, the problem is, Cui Jianren this matter, is Lu Hehao uncovered.

This incident directly led to Emperor Duanhua forcing Jian Xu Bai to kill his wife if the person behind Lu He Hao, in addition to Jian Ping Yu, there is also a Duanmu old lady who has been hidden until now, why would she treat her grandson and grandsoninlaw in such a way?

After all, Old Lady Duanmu’s own flesh and blood were no longer alive, and even if Jian Xu Bai’s birth mother was indeed the Grand Princess of Jin rather than County Princess Yishui, but at least it was the bloodline of Jinxiu Hall, wasn’t it?

To take a step back, if Old Lady Duanmu had been hostile to Marquis Yan, wouldn’t she have just stood by and watched with a cold eye when Jian Xu Bai was poisoned in Wuhuan? Why would she have saved Jian Xu Bai?

Song Yixiao thought of here, suddenly remembered a thing when the old lady Duanmu just returned to the imperial capital diagnosis and treatment, the attitude of their own couples is very amiable, but then not long after, the old lady was invited by Empress Su to the palace after a secret talk, the Marquis of Yan suddenly changed the attitude!

“Could it be that this grandmother really has some reason to hate us?” Song Yixiao analyzed again, Jian Xubai said before, he knew of his life, his heart could not help but jump, “According to our couple is not done anything enough to let the grandmother on the hate of things, if there is a problem, I’m afraid, or in the previous generation above it?”

She thought of the preferences of her former motherinlaw, the Grand Princess of Jin …

If Jian Xubai is really born of the Grand Princess of Jin and Jane Li Miao, then, is it true that County Princess Yi Shui died in childbirth?

Or perhaps Lady Yishui really died in childbirth, but what was the reason for her death in childbirth?

To know that before Old Lady Duanmu’s exile, but to her daughter specifically left a female doctor to take care of Jinxiu Hall hidden in the end of Wei and the beginning of Yong when the god doctor Ji to sick of the true tradition, Yi Shui County Lord as Old Lady Duanmu’s only child heir who survived to adulthood, how could Old Lady Duanmu not be in the daughter’s wellbeing of the up and down the capital?

From what Song Yixiao had heard about this county princess, there was no such news as County Princess Yishui being weak and sickly.

On the contrary, it is Jane Li Miao, has been the medicine does not leave the hand.

And the Yi Shui county princess who had been raised under the care of the female doctors of the Jinxiu Hall, as a matter of fact, her foundation was very good, and the chances of losing her life in a difficult labor were relatively low but she died during the delivery!

Song Yixiao subconsciously grabbed her sleeve: was it because she was stimulated by the knowledge of Jian Xu Bai’s existence?

Or is it related to the Grand Princess of Jin?

It wasn’t that Song Yixiao thought badly of her former motherinlaw, in fact Song Yixiao really didn’t want the Grand Princess of Jin to be this kind of person, after all, the Grand Princess of Jin really didn’t treat her badly.

However, it seems that Jian Li Kuang’s married wife, Xiao Wen, was forced to step down by the Grand Princess of Jin, right?

At that time, the Grand Princess of Jin had her eyes on Jian Li Kuang, what if, later on, she had her eyes on Jian Li Miao?

Xiao Wen was able to marry Jane Li Kuang because her aunt, Old Lady Wen, was Jane Ping Yu’s true love’s continuation, and in fact the Wen family’s lintel was very low. Therefore, after her husband was looked at by the golden branch, she had no choice but to pack her bag and go back to her mother’s home.

But County Lord Yishui was different, even though her mother’s family, the Chengyang Royal House, had fallen, she was in the end a proper clan county lord.

The most important thing is that Jane Li Miao to this cousin love deep righteousness, in her death in more than ten years, always live alone, not even a house maid, let alone renewed.

So if the Grand Princess of Jin wants to get Jian Li Miao, I guess it won’t work if she does it the hard way.

In this situation, would the Grand Princess consider, letting County Princess Yishui disappear in order to increase her own chances of having Jian Li Miao in her pocket?

Song Yi smile between thoughts, Su Shaoge opened his mouth, “Duanmu old lady’s heart, our Su family, is also a little known: when the Yan Guo dowager suffered, frankly speaking, the same as the six valves, we are also deeply righteous indignation. But the situation is very complex, in the help of old Mrs. Duanmu revenge above, we also have the heart is unable to do!”

Speaking here, he glanced at Song Yixiao, “By the way, does Grandma Song know about this matter?”

Song Yixiao had heard it from Jian Xu Bai, but at this moment, he didn’t move and said, “Please also ask Second Prince Su to solve my confusion!”

Maybe Su Shao Ge is talking about another version?

But this time she was disappointed Su Shaoge’s words with Jian Xubai’s description is no different, only added a few sentences, “In fact, the late emperor is also very disgusted with Jane Lezhi, but at that time the late emperor has just given a lot of clan death, worried to continue to pursue Jane Lezhi words, will make the court, everyone from the bottom of the danger! This is to persuade Mrs. Duanmu not to be impatient, when Mrs. Duanmu said, Jane Lezhi is very treacherous, otherwise it would not have coaxed the Yan dowager to go against her parents’ orders, had to marry him! So the late emperor gave him a chance to catch his breath, the revenge of the Yan dowager, most likely can’t count on the late emperor!”

“Later on, things developed as Old Lady Duanmu expected: the late Emperor had not yet reprimanded Jane Lezhi, and Jane Li Kuang Shang gave birth to Her Highness, the Grand Princess of Jin, and gave birth to the Third Duke of Jane. Jane Li Kuang therefore had a reason to ask the Grand Princess of Jin to intervene in this matter in the name of the Third Duke of Jane, not to let the past be publicized, lest the Third Duke of Jane grow up to be in an awkward situation.”

When Su Shaoge spoke here, he slightly related, “Later on, the late emperor had secretly contacted old madam Duanmu, expressing his willingness to privately hand over Jian Lezhi to the old madam to dispose of. But for some reason, the old madam did not accept, only saying that things had come to this, and only hoped that the royal family would treat Marquis Yan kindly. This is also the reason why the Dowager Empress and the late Emperor, treated Marquis Yan with extra favor!”

Song Yixiao frowned and said: ”Let’s talk about these past events later! However, since you suspect Grandmother, if this is really Grandmother’s doing it is obvious that Grandmother does not have much goodwill towards our Marquis Yan, otherwise how could such a big event go unnoticed? What’s the point of talking to me about this?”

“In my opinion, Old Lady Duanmu may not necessarily have any dislike for Marquis Yan.” Su Shaoge gently said, “After all, Marquis Yan is Old Lady Duanmu’s only grandchild with blood! In fact, Grandma Song might as well think of it this way: the Dowager Empress is now so eager to abolish the Imago, that even the commoner, Lu Hehao, is getting the same treatment as the Crown Prince and King Su. The Crown Prince has the Wei family, the Su Wang needless to say, then, if the last to ascend the throne, but the concubine Lu He Hao Duanmu old lady herself is already old, but also a woman, to support the establishment of the work will not be able to send much use, which can not fall on the head of the Marquis of Yan?”

Song Yixiao’s gaze flickered, “Can the Jinxiu Hall family cope with the Wei Su two families?”

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about this possibility just now, but even if she didn’t know much about the cards Old Lady Duanmu was holding, she still knew that the degree of preservation of the Jinxiu Hall after the extinction of the heir was definitely not as good as that of the Wei and Su Families of the normal inheritance.

What’s more, over the years, the Duanmu surname was no longer present among the officials above the fourth rank of the court.

Wei family and Su family, but has been high officials and prominent eunuchs constantly …

Old Lady Duanmu might be very significant in the battle for the throne, but to say that she could push commoner Lu Hehao to the throne with her own strength, Song Yixiao thought that this would be unlikely.

If she could see it, there was no reason why that old lady could not see it, so why would she take such a risk?

“Has Grandma Song forgotten about the Western Liang Shen, Eastern Hu Liu, and the side branches of the Jiangnan Song Clan that you mentioned just now?” Su Shaoge then asked rhetorically, “If these several families join forces, even if Wei Su is also allied, it would still be a huge headache!”

“It’s just a headache!” Song Yi smiled and shook his head, “Jinxiu Hall has been extinct for decades; Shen Liu’s two families have been guarding their graves for three generations, and the power of their direct lineage in the higher echelons has been broken for a long time; not to mention the Song Clan’s side branches! These several families join hands, in the local may make you feel very tricky, but when it comes to the fight above the court, let’s not talk about you WeiSuShu hand, alone one is enough to occupy the absolute upper hand! So I don’t think that Grandmother sent someone to save Lu Hehao let’s just say it was Grandmother’s doing because she intended to support Lu Hehao as the emperor! After all, Lu Hehao’s reputation in the court and in the country, not to mention his prestige, is very limited!”

Even his widest fame now is still the result of the leak of his plot to usurp the throne, which has caused a lot of talk.

Originally, Mrs. Duanmu’s reputation over the years is not obvious, but also to support such a similarly do not have the conditions of the emperor of the bright king on the stage, how difficult?

It’s impossible!

“We actually thought it was unlikely before.” Su Shaoge was silent for a while and said, “But, we weren’t able to catch the commoner Lu Hehao, so there’s no way to know, in his letter to the dowager empress, what things did he actually say?”

And said, “Sikong family side also asked, Zhenyang Grand Princess Her Highness got the letter is sealed by fire lacquer, the Grand Princess did not have the method to read the letter without destroying the fire lacquer, can only be sent with the Dowager Empress Dowager as it is, so Zhenyang Grand Princess also do not know that what is written in the letter?”

He said in a slow voice, “We’re worried if there’s any critical information in that letter that could lead to a change of heart!”

Although at present, if Emperor Duanhua falls, the most advantageous to succeed the throne is the crown prince and King Su, compared to the commoner Lu Hehao and the word “advantage” is not even close!

However, for a prestigious family like the Su family that has been through several dynasties, the more experience they have in changing dynasties, the more careful they are in observing all kinds of subtle things.

Su Shaoge definitely wouldn’t be confident that this person wasn’t a threat just because Lu Hehao was currently weak.

“So it seems that he coaxed me to come over today, but it’s not all because Husband will be attending the court in the palace while he can’t wait for Husband to get off the court.” Song Yixiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and thought, “I’m afraid that he also thinks that I’m the one who was personally pitied by Lu Hehao, and is even more hostile to him, and naturally doesn’t want him to ascend the throne wanting to go through me to convince Husband and Grandmother?”

Her mind turned, and she spoke, “Although there is no way to know what was written in concubine Lu Hehao’s letter to the Empress Dowager, but judging from the Empress Dowager’s reaction, it must be that His Majesty has provoked the Empress Dowager’s wrath in some way! Therefore, could it be that the death of Aunt Dai Guo was not actually masterminded by Lu He Hao, but came entirely from His Majesty’s hand?”

“And the bad news that has led to our second aunt’s deathbed to this very day: third brother’s family was killed in Liaozhou!”

“Does it also concern His Majesty?”

Su Shaoge calmly said; “It’s all possible, but it’s also possible that it’s not however, this is a big matter, and there’s no room for accidents, so what does Grandma Song think?”

Song Yixiao understands what he means, in the case of catching Lu Hehao to no avail, the Su family or the Wei family, there will certainly be some speculation.

It’s just that speculation is always speculation, and whether or not you guess the truth can only be determined by luck.

But such things as plotting to usurp the throne …

Pure luck is sure to kill you.

“Since the Wei family is also involved, and now that King Xiang has been assassinated, King Su is in trouble whether he returns or not.” Song Yixiao rubbed the corner of his forehead and said, “Yet the Su family has also remembered to target His Majesty, could it be that the Wei family has already made an appointment with you to abolish His Majesty piece by piece after King Su arrives at the imperial capital, and then we’ll figure out who’s going to be the new ruler?”

“Even if the Wei family is willing to say so, our Su family may not be willing to believe so.” Su Shaoge laughed, “They can’t wait to take advantage of Gu Shao not knowing what’s going on, and use this Chancellor’s hand to eradicate our Su family before it’s too late!”

After a pause, he said, “But of course we won’t sit around and wait for deathToday’s appointment with Grandma is just for future consideration, and for the situation at hand, please feel free to watch Grandma!”
