Mother Ping came to the main room of the lotus garden, first glanced at Gu Yue, and then bowed to Xie.
"Madam, I have something to report."
Xie's eyes glared and softened in a twinkling of an eye.
She said to Chunhe, "take the three girls down and take good care of them."
"Yes, my servant."
Chunhe supports Gu Yue to leave.
Gu Yue didn't want to. She stared at granny Ping.
The old witch doesn't show up on weekdays. When she appears, she must have something to do.
She wanted to hear what mammy Ping was going to say, but she couldn't hold Chunhe. With great strength, she dragged her out of the main room.
"What's the matter?" Xie asked
Mother Ping said: "the prince guest Wu killed himself. Lord Liu offered to leave and return to his hometown."
"What?"
Xie was at a loss for a moment, but she was quick to react.
"Elder brother is no longer an official of Donggong. What do you say to me?"
Mother Ping continued without expression: "the prince's family order was found dead in the study early this morning. She was poisoned to death without leaving a letter. The Ministry of punishment has accepted the case, which may be suicide or poisoning. "
Gradually, Xie felt the chill.
She yelled at mammy Ping, "what do you want to do with all this? Did big brother send you here, didn't you? Big brother is not dead, is he? "
Mother Ping did not pay attention to Xie's clamor, but went on to say: "in the East Palace last night, two internal servants died, three xiaohuangmen were executed, and five palace maids were missing. It is estimated that they are no longer alive."
Xie's face was livid and he was panting.
She was so angry that she wanted to kill granny Ping with one knife.
She said angrily: "you go to tell big brother, his affair has nothing to do with me, don't involve me in. Later I and he bridge back to the bridge, the road back to the road, let him stay away from me. And you, you get out of Gu's house. Otherwise, I will sell you directly. "
Mammy Ping sneered, "today, a beauty in the East Palace swallowed gold and committed suicide. In addition, the prince's left guard is making every effort to rectify the eastern palace guards and replace many people. "
Xie was about to be driven crazy by mother Ping, "where did you get these news? I see. You must have gone to Xie's house. You met big brother, didn't you? "
Mother Ping looked at Xie's family and said the most important sentence of today: "before the 15th day of the first month, the eldest master will be recovered by the eastern palace, and may be promoted to a higher rank."
"What do you say?"
Xie was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"How long has it been since elder brother asked to leave, and the East Palace wants to recover him? Is there no one in the east palace? Why can't elder brother let go, why still want to continue to be a subordinate official of the east palace? Just because he was a subordinate official of the East Palace, he would have become enemies with the master. Didn't he know that? "
Mother Ping said, "the Lord is an official of Donggong one day, and he is an official of Donggong all his life. The Lord has been branded with the East Palace, and there is no other way to be an official of the east palace. "
Xie sat down on the chair, "so the Xie family is completely tied to the East Palace boat."
Mammy Ping nodded, "yes! The master asked the maid to ask his wife if he wanted to watch the Xie family be killed? "
"I can't watch Xie's family be copied and destroyed. Can't I just watch the family of Xie's family be copied and destroyed? Don't you know the position of Gu Jia and Hou Fu? It is clear that he wants to fight against the east palace. If the East Palace is in power, can you care for your family? "
Mother Ping said, "if the East Palace is in power, it's not good to care for the family, but there's a big master there. At least, you don't have to worry about being exterminated. But if the East Palace is not good, Xie's family is doomed to die without a burial place. The master asked the maid to remind his wife to think more about everything and not just look at her eyes. "
Xie's hehe smile, "let me sacrifice my whole family to fulfill the glory and wealth of Xie family. Does Xie Mao regard me as the Virgin Mary? You go back and tell him there's no door.
My son wants to study and become an official. As a mother, I can't help, but I can't hold him back.
What's more, you can tell Xie Mao that I'm not a fool. Let him stop playing me like a fool. "
Xie was out of breath.
Mammy Ping frowned, "does the wife have to do this?"
Xie's eyes were ferocious at mother Ping, and her expression twisted and said, "it was Xie Mao who forced me into this appearance. In the past, when the LORD was released to the outside world, I could ignore the right and wrong of the capital. But now that the master is sitting in the position of the governor of the capital, I can't ignore it.
I haven't read a few books, but I'm not a fool. In the past, I was blinded by lard, so I would follow his words.
Now, I can see. I am a married girl. Even if Xie's family is in disaster, I can't be implicated.
I have a son next to me. As long as I take care of my family well, my son will have a promising future. In a few years, I can also be a respectable old lord.
You tell Xie Mao that I will collect his body when he is beheaded.If his wife and children can survive, I will try my best to take care of him. Except that, there is no need to talk about it. "
Mother Ping narrowed her eyes. She didn't seem to be able to figure out how Xie changed her attitude before and made a great change of 180 degrees.
Xie snorted coldly.
Some time ago, she was so sick that she couldn't lift her spirits and do anything. At that time, she just kept thinking.
After thinking for such a long time, she finally understood the matter.
What she can really rely on now is Mr. Gu and her two sons.
The premise of all this is that you can't have an accident with your family, and you and your family should be well.
In this way, she must draw a clear line with Xie's family, especially with Xie Mao.
The position of the Gu family and the Xie family naturally did not deal with it.
Thanks to the defeat of the Xie family, she can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.
But if the family fails, she will become a prisoner. With luck, she's just a poor old lady.
Xie family's splendor and wealth, and she will not have a half dime relationship.
Xie Jiashan treasures seafood, she can only eat bran pharyngeal vegetables.
At the thought of such consequences, Xie no longer hesitated, no longer hesitated. At last she was determined.
Mother Ping did not give up. She was making the last effort.
"Can the lady bear to see the old man and the old lady suffer?"
Xie's cold smile, "father and mother enjoy so many years of glory and wealth, has been enough.
Let me say, if the Xie family is really finished, the two old people might as well finish off themselves cleanly.
You tell the two elders that I will collect their bodies and bury them in a hundred years' time. It's just that funerals can't be beautiful.
Of course, if we can hold the funeral before the fall of the Xie family, we can do something behind the scenes. "
Mammy Ping angrily rebuked: "the wife is so cruel."
Xie's expression was ferocious. "I'm so cruel. I learned from Xie's family. Who in the Xie family is better than me?
What Xie Mao did in those years, saying he was an animal, insulted the animal.
There are so many people dead in Donggong this time. Is there no sign of Xie Mao?
If people don't know him, I can't understand him. He Xie Mao is ruthless, ambitious, shameless bastard.
The master is right. Xie maolizi is a shameless man. I will firmly draw a line with Xie Mao. "
Mother Ping said with a straight face, "the words have already been said, and the maid will leave first. I just hope my wife will not regret it in the future. "
Xie's cold smile, "you can rest assured, my wife will never regret. You, from now on, get out of Gu's house. I'll tell the porter not to let you in. "
Mother Ping snorted coldly and turned away.
Chunhe passed by with mammy Ping.
Mammy Ping looked scornfully at her, "good youth, don't waste it."
"Spring he cold face," mammy or take care of themselves
Two people look at each other, each other snorted at each other, wrong body and pass.
Chunhe came to Xie's side, "madam, the three girls have settled down."
"Well!"
Xie's frown is tight, the news that mother Ping brings her is really too powerful.
I'm afraid we should discuss with her.
Since the heart of the head decided to draw a clear line with Xie Mao, Xie's has a solid foundation.
She doesn't have to worry about being suspected by Mr. Gu, because she is magnanimous enough and has no hidden traitors in her heart.
She glanced at Chunhe. "What else?"
Chunhe looks like he wants to talk but stops. He can't ignore it.
Chunhe said in a hurry: "report to the wife, the maid looked at the three girls' mood is not too right, worried about her accident."
"What can happen to her. She wanted to marry Zhao Erlang. Before marriage, she was more careful than anyone else, and there must be nothing wrong with her. "
Xie didn't care at all, and thought that Chunhe was worrying.
Chunhe said with a smile: "or the wife has the insight, the servant white worries about a scene."
……
After leaving Gu's house, mother Ping went directly to Xie Fu to meet Xie Mao.
These days, Xie Mao closed his door and did not invite people to celebrate the new year. Close the door, every day send love, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, self-cultivation. He is indifferent to fame and wealth.
The servant came to report, "master, mother Ping has come back from Gu Fu."
Xie Mao was painting at the moment, and his head was not raised. "Let her in."
After a while, mother Ping was invited into the study.
When mother Ping saw Xie Mao, she immediately knelt down on the ground, and changed her attitude in front of Xie. She was very respectful.
"I'll see you."
"No gift."
Mother Ping stood up and bowed to one side, not daring to disturb Xie Mao's painting.
Xie Mao was very satisfied with the painting of an eagle spreading its wings.He washed his hands and ordered the painting to be put away. Then he had time to look at mother Ping.
When Xie Mao's eyes came over, mother Ping became more and more respectful.
"How is it going?" Xie Mao asked casually.
Mammy Ping said uneasily, "the maid is incompetent. The wife says that she wants to draw a line with the master. After that, Xie family is Xie family and Gu family is Gu family. The wife also drove out the slaves
Xie Mao looked calm and not angry. He just asked, "you didn't tell her that Xie's family is rich and prosperous. Naturally, her benefits are indispensable."
Mammy Ping lowered her head. "Yes, but the wife was so stubborn that she didn't believe it. The maid watched. After entering Beijing, she was scolded by Lord Gu, and her heart was scared. That's why we have to draw a line with the master. "
Xie Mao sneered, "she is really a bit worried."
Mother Ping asked carefully, "master, what should I do next?"
"That's it. It's not peaceful in the palace. I'll talk about other things after I finish my work in the palace. You go to the steward and ask him to arrange accommodation for you. Now that she has kicked you out, you can work at the Xie's
Mammy Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "thank you very much." Then he bowed down and left.
The housekeeper came out from behind the screen, "master, what should I do with mammy Ping?"
Xie Mao's face sank and scolded: "waste!"
He was obviously scolding mammy Ping.
Then he said, "keep her first, and it will be useful for the time being."
In a word, mother Ping escaped from her birth and survived. But mother Ping didn't know all this.
The housekeeper took the order and asked, "how can I do it at home?"
"I'll wait until the first month comes out."
"The little one understands."
……
Weiyang palace.
The empress lay in bed for a few days. She was too sick to get out of bed.
Fang Shaojian is waiting on her side Mother, don't worry. Everything that needs to be dealt with in the East Palace has been cleaned up. Jin Wuwei can't go down and will stop
The queen nodded, "how is the prince?"
"Your Highness is just outside the palace. Does your mother want to see him?"
The queen laughed. "Let him in. We also want to hear what he will say
Fang Shaojian was ordered to invite his royal highness into the bedroom.
The prince's highness just a few days, as if a few years old, the whole people are haggard.
He stood by the bed and saluted the queen. "Are you better, mother?"
The queen pointed to the stool by the bed. "Sit down and talk."
The prince's highness bowed down and sat down on a round stool, looking very careful.
The empress stares at the prince, "do you have any complaints?"
The prince shook his head, "the son minister has no complaint. According to the instructions of the empress dowager, the children's ministers have disposed of the personnel
"Why, are you soft hearted? Or do you think this palace is cruel and ruthless, regardless of human life? "
The empress's voice was obviously dissatisfied and her expression became angry.
The prince's highness looked frightened, "the son minister never thought so."
The empress snorted coldly, "who is this palace doing all this for? Not all for you. This palace doesn't have a few days to live. If you don't clean up the moths around you now, what should you do when this palace is dead? "
The prince's Royal Highness looked panicked and said, "my mother will live a long life..."
"That's enough. Don't say any more nonsense. Cough..."
The queen coughed, but the cough soon passed.
She was very angry. "When it comes to this time, you still talk about useless nonsense. You've wasted your time."
The prince bowed his head and looked ashamed.
The queen looked at the roof and said, "these days, the palace has thought a lot. You develop a weak character, this palace has a great responsibility. At the beginning, when you were still young, this palace should not have thrown you to those so-called great Confucians, so that you were ruined by them. "
"Several gentlemen are excellent in learning, and my son's ministers have benefited a lot." The prince's highness murmured.
The empress scolded angrily, "you are the crown prince, you want to be the emperor in the future. It's useless to say hello to optics. Look at all the emperors who remain famous in the history of history, how much knowledge do they have?
What you want to learn is strategy, is the king's mind skill, is the means to control the ministers. However, what have you learned these years? Poetry and Fu, scholar style.
You're not a scholar, and you don't have to take the imperial examination. It's useless for you to learn these things. You don't have a clear mind. Do the officials in the East Palace have no idea? "
The Queen's mother, with full fire, swore at her royal highness.
The prince was scolded and bowed his head and did not dare to answer back. A man in his forties, his Royal Highness the prince, was scolded like this.
The empress was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Fang Shao quickly took out the pill and gave it to the empress.After swallowing the pill, the empress finally came back to life.
She stares at the prince's highness, "you look like this, how can I rest assured of this palace. Even if this palace is dead, it will not die in peace. "
"Empress mother!"
The prince's Royal Highness's face is in a state of panic. This is too heavy. The four words of "death without closing one's eyes" are like the top of Mount Tai, pressing on the prince's body, making him breathless.
The empress laughed at herself, "what are you afraid of? I'm afraid that my palace will not be able to live peacefully after death. Will you go to the east palace to look for you
The prince's face turned pale, his lips opened and closed, and he could not say a word.
The empress waved her hand wearily, "don't say it. When this palace is dead, if you encounter something that you can't make a decision, you should ask Fang Shao Jian more. "
"The children obey the orders."
His Highness the prince bowed down to answer.
The empress looked at Fang Shao Jian again, "when this palace is gone, you protect the crown prince for this palace. Don't let the adulterer harm him."
Fang Shaojian was ordered to obey the orders
The queen knew very well that she was running out of time.
But before she dies, she will continue to plan for the prince.
"According to the imperial edict, all the girls who were accused of marriage to the emperor and grandson were called into the palace. This palace wants to have a good look at her future granddaughter-in-law before she dies. "
