Chapter 238 Seed
Inside Yuhua Palace.
Liu Qinglan looked at Liu Ying who was kneeling down with a calm face.
"Why on earth did you end up in Sizhao Prison?"
Liu Ying looked at her pitifully, bit her lip, and looked like she was telling a long story.
Recognizing Liu Ying was the result of Liu Qinglan being half-coerced by Wei Ning. At this time, she had no choice but to break the casserole and ask what her true feelings were: "Forget it, forget it, since it's hard to say, then I won't listen. , you can live peacefully in this palace now, and you can leave the palace on your own in three days if you have a serious status.”
Liu Ying kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Concubine Lan Shu, for your great kindness."
When she lowered her head, the large bruise on the back of her neck looked very frightening.
Liu Qinglan frowned: "What's wrong with your neck?"
Liu Ying seemed to have just realized that the description was inappropriate. She immediately knelt straight, covered the bruise, and timidly replied: "No...No, it's just a small injury."
When she reached out to cover the back of her neck, the sleeves on her wrists slipped quietly.
Liu Qinglan looked at the several scars on her hands and frowned even more: "According to what Wei Ning said, you cut your flesh and blood to use as medicine for Mr. Lin's family. Why are they so indiscriminate in sending you to patrol the city?" Secretary?”
Liu Ying looked sad: "What I did was wrong. I was too timid. I watched helplessly as the girl from the Zhou family kidnapped the girl from the Lin family."
What Wei Ning told Liu Qinglan was that Liu Ying was a relative of the old Duke Ding. She stayed in the Lin Mansion due to various unavoidable reasons. This time, she did something wrong with the Lin family girl being kidnapped. The angry Lin family Sent to prison.
Liu Ying received Wei Ning's guidance and said nothing about Xie Fengyue.
She looked at the suspicion on Liu Qinglan's face, smiled miserably, and said in a lonely voice: "It's all my fault. If I had been bolder and dared to stop the Zhou girl from acting openly, I wouldn't have hurt the old lady. Heart.”
Seeing that she was the same age as her own Yue'er, Liu Qinglan also felt a little pity. She softened her tone and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Your personality is destined. You must have been too scared to react at the time. After a while, when the Lin family has calmed down, you can go back and explain to them.”
Liu Ying lowered her head apologetically and said softly, "Yeah."
In Fengxiang Hall, not far from Yuhua Palace, Xie Fengyue also said "hmm".
"Do you really know what nonsense you are talking about?"
Xie Fengyue still nodded: "Reporting to your concubine, I tell the truth every word I say, and there is no falsehood."
"The things mentioned in the letter were all told by Bai Shaohong, the brother of the former Duke of Dingguo's mother's family. A few days ago, Uncle Wei reached out to my house and I made a fuss about it. Only then did someone He came to my door and told me about Wei Ning’s different life experience.”
"As for the Bai family's rumor in Beijing that Weining was not the fault of a Bai family daughter, I once thought that this was just an unprovoked frame-up because the Bai family didn't want to make money. But yesterday, Bai Shaohong came to the door in person and informed me of the matter."
Concubine Yu Gui said with a cold face: "Weining is so brave. A bastard born from an outside family dared to occupy the imperial title."
The titles and official positions in the imperial court are all in a vacuum. If there is one more Wei Ning, other families will lose a position. In the long run, just this title may be able to cultivate a new family. This is all the help of the family.
Moreover, Xie Fengyue had always known that Yu Guifei could not tolerate the issue of foreign affairs.
Most of the concubines in Zhou Tian's womb were raised by him in other palaces, and many of them were even brought back to the palace when they were pregnant. As the biological mother of the prince, she paid special attention to the heirs of Emperor Zhou, and any A prince who is not what she expected may shake the interests of Prince Zhou, which she cannot tolerate.
"Why did you come to tell me this today?" Yu Guibi Yin Hongkou Danjia held the letter and looked at Xie Fengyue suspiciously.
"A few days ago, Xiao Xie came to Shuyuan. I saw that His Highness the Crown Prince had a good relationship with Wei Ning." Xie Fengyue deliberately said half and half, and waited for Yu Guifei to ask the next question.
"What's the point of being friends with him if I'm kept in the dark by him?"
This was what Xie Fengyue was waiting for. She straightened her kneeling posture, placed the fan in her hand on the tea table, and said respectfully: "I certainly don't mean to speak ill of His Highness. It's just that Wei Ning has already He no longer has an identity that he should have, and he wants to take the opportunity to make friends with the Crown Prince. This person has a really big appetite. Moreover, Mrs. Bai also said that the person who warned them to shut up in the first place may be Mrs. Xihua. "
Linking Weining to Mrs. Xihua was the purpose of her coming here today.
Wei Ning's external image has always been good, but she can only expose his shortcomings bit by bit. Finally, when it comes to the point that Yu Guifei is most concerned about, the favored concubines in the palace are like a flash in the pan, and there is only one Xihua. The favored concubine is like running water, and the water passes without leaving a trace. She is the only one who is married to the prince for the second time.
How could it not be taboo for Concubine Yu Gui to be the biological mother of Prince Zhou?
At this point, Xie Fengyue only needs to mention it and let Yu Guibi plant the seeds of doubt. Any point she finds out later can make this seed take root and sprout, and eventually grow into a star that blocks Weining from moving up. Climbing a big tree.
Yu Guibin was surprised and wondered, this Wei Ning was from Taifu Xie. If he was on good terms with Xihua, would it mean that the person behind Xihua was Taifu Xie?
The idea only came to her mind for a moment before she rejected it.
Xie Fengyue was born in the Xie family, so she would definitely not say such secretive things.
Xie Fengyue seemed to know what she was thinking, and answered the next moment: "Hey, the minister said all these things, which makes the empress upset. It's just that my status is embarrassing. It's all because the empress fought for me when I was in Xishan. Come and seal the title, and this is how Fengyue is today, and I will never forget it.”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Guibi's heart began to waver again.
Finally, she said with a pleasant expression: "Thank you very much for today's matter. I will send someone to take you back home. I will investigate the things you mentioned carefully."
Xie Fengyue smiled brightly.
With this smile, Concubine Yu suddenly thought of another person in the palace - Concubine Lan Shu.
She pinched the agate string on her wrist and said, "You look a bit like some people."
Xie Fengyue still smiled: "I'm joking, there are so many people in this world, there are always some who look alike, right?"
Yu Guibi changed her subject: "Is it because of what happened last night that you came to tell me today?"
"The empress is well-informed and knows all these little things."
Yu Guibi raised her eyebrows: "This is no small matter. I have never seen anyone in Shengjing who can be as shameless as you."
Xie Fengyue poured a cup of tea by herself: "I am a little girl, why do I need so much face? I always swallow my anger for the sake of face, and one day I will end up in a situation where I have no face at all."
As mentioned earlier, the only people who questioned Weining's identity were the Bai family of the original Duke of Dingguo's wife.
The foreshadowing that had been buried for a long time was finally filled in.
