One hundred and sixty-two: interrogation
At the end of September, the weather gradually cooled down, and the tulle clothes could not be worn, so the princess of Chu changed into a white stand-up collar middle coat, and wore a long gown of the Vermilion Satsuma Regiment on her head, and was being served by the people below to clean her hands.
After cleaning her hands, she twisted out a few sticks of incense from the long tube on the incense table, bowed a few times to the Bodhisattva statue, and then came out to sit in the flower hall and listen to the people below.
Although it is a royal mansion, there are a lot of items, but there are many people who go out, people come and go, and the money is spent like flowing water these days, she frowned, sighed and closed the account book, and gently pressed her temples with her hand.
Seeing this, the aunt in charge next to her hurriedly asked everyone to retreat, called a little girl to come in and beat her legs, and said: "Don't feel distressed, we thought of it long before we came to Beijing, and when we returned to the capital, there are places where money is going to be spent everywhere." ”
Princess Chu took a sip of barley soup and was very bored: "No, it's like drinking water as if you're drinking gold, and I don't know when we can go back to our own place, this month, just dealing with the eunuchs in the palace is a headache!" ”
She couldn't help complaining: "Then Liu Zhen's appetite is simply too big, and he dares to ask for five thousand taels this month..... Last month, his godson married his daughter-in-law, and we have already sent a house in Hebei to congratulate him, and next month his nephew will give a weak crown gift....."
The aunt in charge of these things didn't dare to interject, so she had to persuade her: "The prince has everything in his heart, so don't worry about it." ”
When the king of Chu came back in the evening, he asked her first: "Liu Zhen came to ask for silver again?" ”
Princess Chu snorted: "I really don't know how to converge, my appetite has been getting bigger and bigger these days, and I can't wait to eat us all raw." Cao An was not so bold in the past. ”
The king of Chu didn't see any displeasure, and when he saw the princess of Chu sighing, she sat on the arhat couch and shook her head: "These are just trivial things, just send him away." There is no way, Cao An has fallen, he is the biggest, and the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant will be him sooner or later. If we don't get along with others, we'll have a lot more trouble. ”
Princess Chu also knew this truth, and sighed: "But I can't help such a method, I haven't caught this person's weakness yet?" ”
If you want to form an alliance, you don't just blindly send money and money, you have to use both soft and hard to be the right way, and when you dealt with Cao An in the past, it was the same.
But this Liu Zhen is not slippery, and now he wants silver in addition to asking for silver, but he will never let go of his mouth to help them do things, which is really cunning and a little annoying.
"Don't worry, it's almost there." The king of Chu sneered: "He thought that my silver was so easy to take, and he was counting on the white wolf with empty gloves, but he underestimated me, and after a while, let him know that he knew the means of this king." ”
Since he said so, there must be a way to deal with Liu Zhen, Princess Chu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and talked about the next thing: "By the way, the matter of returning to Longguan last time, there was no movement after that, Feng Guifei didn't believe it, right?" ”
They faked a scene and asked people to catch Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Fang talking in the wing, pretending that people who didn't know about Feng Guifei were listening outside.
I don't know what the effect is, whether Feng Guifei believes it or not.
More than half a month has passed, and Concubine Feng still hasn't moved, and Princess Chu is a little worried that she has failed.
Speaking of this, King Chu had a smile on his face: "It won't be impossible, Feng Guifei is unknown to others, and you still don't know her character?" ”
Of course, Princess Chu knew: "As soon as you talk about this, I panic. Back then, she was like a person with Queen Ming, and she frowned coldly at us, how many times have I been bullied by her to the point that she is powerless? This man ....."
People say that Feng Guifei has a good relationship with the Ming family, how can she be like a sister like Queen Ming, avoid entering the Buddhist hall for the death of Queen Ming, and put her heart on God and Buddha, but no one thought that Queen Ming died, but she was not affected at all.
And she avoided entering the Buddhist hall, but the three princes rose to the top.....
Not to mention the death of the eldest prince, Princess Chu knows in her heart that this is her husband's handiwork.
But what about the death of the second prince?
How he died, really only God knows.
King Chu's eyes also sank: "This person has a new machine and a wrist, and he is the best at judging the situation." It's naturally good when there is no conflict of interest, but once she gets in her way, she won't care about other people's lives or deaths. In the past, she made a Guanyin appearance, and that was because the third prince was the only adult prince who survived, but now, the third prince is dead....."
Feng Guifei's anger can be imagined, it must be enough to destroy the world.
Princess Chu also imagined how Feng Guifei would be angry, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "But she's not stupid..... The affairs of the third prince and the Feng family, after all, have nothing to do with us....."
"She doesn't know." King Chu put his hands behind his head: "What she knows is only what we want her to know." Anyway, what she knows now is that Queen Fang is pregnant and has a close relationship with the Wei family. And the Feng family's suffering was caused by Cao An. ”
This is why you want to buy Liu Zhen and not offend him.
Who is the most useful in the palace?
It's these rootless eunuchs.
They have been with the nobles all year round, and they have the best chance to speak.
Let Liu Zhen think of a way to let Feng Guifei know that Cao An and Cao Wen are also very related to the Wei family, it couldn't be simpler.
The king of Chu guessed correctly.
When the couple was discussing these things, how to please Liu Zhen, Feng Guifei lacked a lot of fire in the palace.
The statue of Guanyin, which she had been worshipping, was smashed to pieces by her, and she stepped on the splinters, her expression so dark that it was frightening.
After a full quarter of an hour, she turned out of the small Buddha hall and coldly ordered someone to bring the eunuchs and palace maids who had gone out of the palace before.
They were dying of hunger, and they were slumped on the ground with no strength at all.
Feng Guifei sat on it and asked them coldly, "You really heard it right, did Old Lady Wei really tell the old woman of the Fang family like that?" ”
Gong E didn't react yet, but the eunuch hurriedly got up, struggled a few times and kowtowed: "Really, really!" Slaves and maids dare not deceive ......"
He was dizzy from hunger, and he didn't have the strength to speak.
Feng Guifei still moved steadily, and only snorted coldly after half a sound.
The Wei family has not moved for so many years, she still thought that the Wei family was a dead snake and didn't need to fight anymore, but she didn't expect that this poisonous snake was just hibernating, and she was so ruthless that she wanted to eat her life alive as soon as she made a move.
But it's not good for the Wei family to bite anyone, why do you have to bite her?
She couldn't figure it out, and a seeping sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
