Chapter 1007 The mysterious variable
"You mean...said..." Liu Zhiheng's face turned red from holding back, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a while.
It was really the result of his guess, it was so shocking!
Mr. Wen also grabbed Li Laoer's sleeve, took a deep breath, and asked, "Do you know something inside?"
Li Laoer glanced at the door and whispered, "I don't know, I don't know anything. In other words, I can't tell you if I know. Just remember, don't be anxious.
"Even if the second prince is made a prince, as long as he is not enthroned, there is no guarantee that anything will change."
This is already the answer!
Liu Zhiheng's excited heart almost jumped out of his throat. He asked with trembling lips, "Does the Marquis know? Does the Marquis know this variable?"
Li Laoer nodded, "The Marquis should know, and even the princess has some guesses. But this matter is covered up very tightly, who knows who will die.
“It’s best for us to pretend we don’t know, live a low-key life, and wait for the dust to settle.
“I didn’t know when this day would come, but now that the imperial concubine has taken the initiative to commit suicide, it is probably not far away.”
Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen looked at each other, stretched their necks, and swallowed all their doubts and surprises together with their saliva.
Li Laoer was right. If such a big secret were spread, it would definitely shock the government and the public.
Now that they know the news in advance and don't take sides randomly, it's already very good.
“I understand, uncle, don’t worry, our family is a staunch royalist.” Liu Zhiheng quickly stated his position.
Mr. Wen even smiled and said, "I have always been with our family."
After hearing this, Li Laoer chatted a few words and asked Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng to go back and rest.
Actually, how can these two people sleep?
Especially Liu Zhiheng, who hurried home almost as soon as it got dark to discuss with his father.
Mr. Wen doesn’t have many relatives in Xindu, but he still has a few close friends.
He was thinking about giving a few subtle words to his friend, but he was afraid of spreading the word, so he could only make up his mind to visit more recently.
In case your friends do something unwise, stop them in time.
I won’t say what Mr. Wen and the Liu family planned. I just said that as soon as Li Laoer arrived at the Yamen, he saw everyone chatting in private. Occasionally they looked at him and shut up in embarrassment.
Li Laoer immediately guessed that something had happened, and Zheng He who was waiting beside him was also smart and immediately went out to investigate.
Soon, Zheng He came back with a very ugly look on his face.
“Uncle, when the princess and the third princess returned to the palace last night, some guards insisted on searching the carriage, which offended the princess and the princess, and even tore the princess’s skirt.
"The princess and the princess complained to the imperial study. The emperor punished Deputy Commander Qu and several soldiers on the spot, and sent them all to the Shenxing Department for questioning."
"What?" Li Laoer was anxious at that time and asked, "Is the princess injured?"
Zheng He quickly shook his head, "Uncle, don't worry, nothing happened to the princess. On the contrary, Shui Ling injured several soldiers!"
"Well done, you are looking down upon others!" Li Laoer's face turned pale. After walking around in circles, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "No, we still need someone to come into the palace to see the princess." , otherwise I wouldn’t worry.
“In addition, these people will not embarrass the princess and the third princess for no reason. They will investigate clearly and find out who is behind the scenes.”
"Yes, uncle." Zheng He responded immediately, his mind quickly turned away, thinking about which suitable people to mobilize.
In recent years, with the help of the Relief Department, the Li family has spread its intelligence to most of the new capital.
I dare not say that everything is transparent in front of the Li family. At least no one can hide too much of what the Li family wants to know. There are street sweepers all over the streets, half-year-old children selling snacks, boys in shops, farmers who go to and from various houses delivering firewood and vegetables, and even local ruffians. Home call.
I have to say that selling hundreds of flowers in a hundred gardens and spreading out the money earned can be regarded as a return...
Li Laoer went straight to Liu's house regardless of Zheng He's arrangements.
Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and others are not at home, and Wan'er is too young to enter the palace.
Now, he can only ask Mrs. Liu to help.
Mr. Liu was so frightened that his white beard was trembling because of the news his son brought back. He drank tea to calm down.
He was even more worried when he suddenly heard that Li Laoer was coming.
When he heard the reason, he agreed immediately.
The Liu family is also one of the best in Xindu. Liu Zhiheng was awarded an official title because he was one of the first to plant high-yielding grains.
The husband is honorable and the wife is noble, and Mrs. Liu is even more respectable. She is not afraid of embarrassment to the Queen Mother or the noble concubines when she goes to the palace.
Mrs. Liu was invited to the study. When she heard about this, she immediately said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will enter the palace right away. It happened that my maternal cousin sent a box of fans the day before yesterday. The weather was hot, so I took them to the princess and the princess. It’s just right to play with.”
Li Laoer stood up and saluted, "Thank you for taking the trouble, brother and sister."
“Uncle, you are very polite. I have treated the princess as my own daughter for so many years. Now that the princess has been wronged, I should go and have a look.” Mrs. Liu said a few words and hurried back to prepare.
Soon, she changed her clothes, took two nuns with her, carried things, and entered the palace in a car.
If it turns out, it will be very troublesome for the destined woman to enter the palace.
But now that the queen is seriously ill, the queen mother is pretending to be dead, and the noble concubine is weak and unruly, it is much easier to enter the palace.
Mrs. Liu only handed over the greeting card and stuffed a purse into the little **** at the gate of the palace. The card was sent to Zhilan Palace. Caiyun and Shuiling immediately came out to pick her up.
As for the soldiers guarding the palace gate, after last night’s painful lesson, they would not dare to stop them even if they had the courage to do so.
After all, their colleagues and deputy commanders are still in the Criminal Punishment Department, and they don’t know whether they are alive or dead...
Jiayin was very surprised when he heard that Mrs. Liu came to the palace to visit. After thinking about it, he guessed that the family members knew about last night.
She originally didn’t want her family to be distracted at this time, so she kept it a secret.
Unexpectedly, it still didn’t succeed.
When Madam Liu arrived at Zhilan Palace, she looked up and saw Jiayin wearing a green dress with two small flower hairpins in her hair. She greeted her with a cute smile.
On this journey, all her worries immediately disappeared.
"Fu Niu'er!" She stepped forward and took Jiayin's hand, looked up and down, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, you seem to have lost weight."
Since grandma and mother left Xindu, no one has called her by her nickname for a long time. When she suddenly heard the good news, she was very kind.
She took the initiative to hug Mrs. Liu, smiled coquettishly, and said, "Auntie, you have also lost weight, and you are younger and more beautiful than before."
“Haha, you kid, you are still so sweet and well-behaved!” Mrs. Liu was coaxed to smile. She turned around and looked at the maids and eunuchs around her, and changed her words, “Princess, please take me to present the princess.”
"Okay, Auntie, come with me." Jiayin helped Mrs. Liu all the way into the main hall. The third princess was thinking about what happened last night and had no energy all day.
At this moment, seeing that Good News valued Mrs. Liu, she reluctantly accompanied her and said a few words.
Jiayin simply asked her to rest, and then led Mrs. Liu to the side hall.
