Chapter 479 Entering the Palace for Questioning
The concubine relied on her favor to complain to the emperor, but when the emperor knew the reason, he had the concubine thrown into the cold palace.
The originally glamorous concubine became an abandoned woman in the cold palace overnight.
Not only that, the emperor also visited the twelve princes in person and gave them many rewards.
The twelve princes held more weight in the emperor's heart than he thought.
Concubine Zhao had always been worried that as the twelfth prince grew up, the emperor would pay more and more attention to the twelfth prince and make him the prince.Although the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Princes now have support behind them, they seem to have a better chance than Xiao Huan.
but!
The most important point is that only Xiao Huan is the legitimate son.
If the emperor establishes a prince, those ministers in the court who can act according to the prevailing circumstances will immediately follow Xiao Huan.
Concubine Zhao was unwilling to give in. The eldest prince died of illness, and the biological mother of the second prince was low-status, weak-tempered and cowardly.The third child clings to the Pan family and wants to return to Cang country.The fourth child is already dead and Xiao Che has just found him.
According to this order, her Huai'er should be the crown prince.
She thought that after both the fourth and fifth sons had an accident, the emperor would make Xiao Huai the crown prince, but she never mentioned it again since then.
Now that Xiao Che is back and has gone to Lingnan, once he gets the support of the Lingnan Army, he will no longer have no foundation in the court.
Xiao Che was almost made a prince back then, so he had to guard against it, let alone support Xiao Huan.
Concubine Zhao's eyes became sharp. She would never allow anyone to stand in front of her son.
Now that Xiao Che was in Lingnan, she had no way to take action, so she started from Prince Rui's Mansion.
"Pass this palace's decree and ask the fifth and sixth girls to enter the palace."
The next day, sisters Zhao Ziyao and Zhao Zihan entered the palace.
The two sisters often went to the palace to visit Concubine Zhao. Zhao Zihan's father and Concubine Zhao were siblings, and Concubine Zhao loved Zhao Zihan very much.Zhao Ziyao also won the favor of Concubine Zhao because of her relationship with the Duke's Palace.
When Concubine Zhao saw the two sisters, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes. She hadn't seen them for a few months. Why had they changed so much?
Zhao Ziyao is not bad, except for being a little darker, overall there is not much change.
Zhao Zihan has changed so much. She was originally a delicate little girl with a sweet voice and soft words that made people feel pity for her.Especially those eyes, particularly charming and charming.
At this moment, he stood there dignifiedly, his body upright, and there was no trace of weakness anywhere.
Not only that, there was even a murderous look in his eyes, completely changed.
"I've met the imperial concubine's aunt."
The two of them saluted before Concubine Zhao reacted.
"Han'er?"
"Auntie, Han'er brought you some gifts. They are vegetables grown by Han'er himself. They are very fresh." Zhao Zihan originally slurred every word in his words, but now there was a chilling air in his voice.
Concubine Zhao was shocked, "What dish?"
"When I first entered Prince Rui's Mansion, Han'er planted it with his own hands, and it grew very well. However, it is not as good as Miss Li San's, but Han'er's riding and shooting is better than her."
In the past, Zhao Zihan could not compare to Li Jiaojiao in terms of growing vegetables, cooking, and managing the shop and taking care of accounts.
Until learning to ride and shoot!
The gentleman who teaches horseback riding and archery at home said that she was very talented in this area. If she had learned it since she was a child, she would now be one of the best in the capital.It's not too late now. She has great talent. If she continues to practice, she will shine in the autumn hunting season.
Did Li Jiaojiao really think he was going to catch up with her?
Impossible in this lifetime!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zihan felt very proud that she had not embarrassed her aunt.
Concubine Zhao almost forgot to ask them to come into the palace to do something, it was all a mess.
"Ayao, Han'er, tell me, is Princess Rui still in the house?"
Zhao Zihan's eyes narrowed slightly, why are you asking Princess Rui?
"Auntie, Princess Rui is indeed in the palace. We go to greet the princess every week." Just like the answer at home, she felt that Princess Rui was in the palace.Otherwise, how could those in the palace dare to make independent decisions and teach them this?
It's a pity that Princess Rui is sick, otherwise Princess Rui can be shown her riding and shooting skills.
Concubine Zhao frowned. Whether it was the previous inquiries or the tests from the Zhou family, it showed that Princess Rui was not in the palace. What was going on?
On the other hand, Zhao Ziyao, who was sitting next to him, had a sneer on his lips.
"My aunt, Yao'er suspects that Princess Rui is not in the palace at all."
"how do I say this?"
Zhao Ziyao noticed something was wrong when she returned to Zhao's house and was questioned. Something must have happened.She thought that the palace would definitely pay attention to this matter, and maybe ask her to come into the palace, as she expected.
If she told her family, the credit would be taken away by Zhao Zihan again.
Only if you tell Concubine Zhao personally will you make meritorious deeds.
"Auntie, when we first entered the palace, Princess Rui often appeared. About a week later, people in the palace said that Princess Rui was ill. She was very ill and was bedridden every day.
When we went to greet Princess Rui, they said they were afraid of infecting us, so they only asked us to salute at the door.
Every time through the curtains, I could vaguely see the back of the person lying on the bed, but never the front. "
Zhao Ziyao noticed something was wrong when she was in the palace, but she didn't dare to say anything for fear of being thrown into a pig pen.
She was interviewed later, and no matter what task she was given, she just messed around.If that woman Yun Shang was in the palace, she would definitely not miss the opportunity to find trouble. In the end, there was nothing, and no one said anything until she left the palace.
"By the way, when we left the palace, Yao'er noticed that the cronies around the princess were in a hurry and dealt with one of the servants."
The servants in the palace are all honest, so if they were suddenly punished, something must have happened.
After hearing what Zhao Ziyao said, Concubine Zhao already had the answer in her heart. She must not be in the palace.
No matter what people do after leaving the palace, there is only one result, and that is that Princess Rui is a secret agent of Da Chu!
Zhao Ziyao secretly observed Concubine Zhao's reaction and raised a smile on her lips. She succeeded.
Sure enough, Concubine Zhao looked at Zhao Ziyao with a smile, "Yao'er observes very carefully. What you said is very useful to me. I have got some new jewelry. You can pick out a few pieces later."
From A Yao, she became Yao'er.
You must know that Concubine Zhao always calls the two people differently, and she is closer to Zhao Zihan.
Zhao Ziyao felt proud. After this period of time, she had seen Princess Rui's methods and no longer wanted to enter Prince Rui's mansion.If she wants to marry well in the future, she will have to rely on this noble aunt.
Alternatively, it would also be good to be a concubine for the sixth prince.
Zhao Zihan frowned slightly, "Auntie, Han'er feels that Princess Rui has not left the palace."
She had been in contact with the princess several times, and coupled with what happened in the palace, the princess was a smart person, which made her aware of the danger.
Zhao Zihan had a feeling in his heart that Princess Rui seemed to be planning something.
