Sixty-seven
In the end, it was Princess Linjiang who broke the silence first, she stood up with some restraint following King Linjiang's words, pursed her lips and said, "I heard that you are coming to eat today, I have already asked the small kitchen to prepare sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup......"
It's been a long time since I've spoken so calmly, and the last time I was so calm was when King Linjiang came to ask her to go to the temple to cultivate.
Princess Linjiang smiled and said, "I don't know if you like it or not......"
She rarely has such a time, most of the time, she is either aggressive, or extremely mean, King Linjiang is a little unaccustomed, glanced at her, and said: "This time the family letter was detained, it is indeed a dereliction of duty of the people below." ”
Chu Jingwu would send letters home every once a while, and then when Princess Linjiang had an accident and went to the temple to cultivate, she did stop for a while, but later, the letters were still sent.
But it wasn't until later that I learned that Princess Linjiang didn't receive a single one.
It is precisely because of this incident that the King of Linjiang asked Princess Linjiang to withdraw part of the power of the steward in order to warn Concubine Yu.
At the mention of this matter, Princess Linjiang's complexion changed, and she seemed to struggle for a while before she shook her head lightly: "It's nothing, after all...... I didn't expect Awu to send me a letter, after all, I have done so many wrong things......"
It's human nature to keep things you do wrong.
King Linjiang asked Princess Linjiang to come back, not because he forgave her, nor because she was wronged, but because the capital ordered them to return to Beijing.
At this time, there can be no more rumors.
If there is news that Princess Linjiang was under house arrest for killing Shen Chen, it is not a good thing, and Shilin is afraid that he will also have complaints about King Linjiang, thinking that he can't even handle family affairs well.
What's more, at this time, you have to make the palace harmonious.
Emperor Longqing is only because he can't handle the relationship in the harem well, so he will do things that lose the support of the people one after another.
He originally just wanted to treat Princess Linjiang as an ornament, after all, Chu Jingwu is the prince of the world, and he is also his most cherished child, and the princess's mistakes cannot be declared to the world, if he does not give the princess face, the world will inevitably speculate about his son.
But now that he saw the appearance of Princess Linjiang, he couldn't help but want to sigh again.
is a man who wants to be able to share in his backyard and get along in harmony, he is no exception, if Princess Linjiang can really reform because of this incident, it is also a good thing.
After hesitating for a moment, he still shouted in a low voice: "No need to say it again, don't mention the past." ”
Princess Linjiang smiled bitterly: "After all, it happened, and I also know that you let me come back because of the Holy Decree, let us go to Beijing with our family.......
King Linjiang frowned.
This matter is also a troublesome matter, he can't confirm what Emperor Longqing's mind is, and the capital is not peaceful now, and there has just been a matter of Shen Chen and Wei An being climbed.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Princess Linjiang with great meaning, the light in his eyes slowly went out, and his voice became cold again: "You..... Do you know that Guardan had an accident with Achen? ”
The doubts in his heart still did not dissipate.
After all, Princess Linjiang was still able to send someone to plot against Shen Chen thousands of miles away, and she had contact with the people around King Jin.
This time, Shen Chen was deliberately dragged into troubled waters, and the secret agents in the capital said that they were done by the people around King Cheng and Chu Jingxing in the past, because Lu Yuanrong was promoted by the Xiao family.
The Xiao family swore to follow Chu Jingxing at the beginning, but Chu Jingxing's life was obeyed, and the person he personally promoted achieved the position of a squire, if he wanted to say that Chu Jingxing's old people contacted him and had no one to pull the strings, he didn't believe it.
But after all, something happened to Chu Jingxing later, and the palace had already put an end to all the people who had dealings with Chu Jingxing in the past, so it was naturally impossible for them to make any more moves.
So, who else can pull this line, and who else can direct Lu Yuanrong?
Just those few who followed?
They're probably not enough.
He still thought it was a little odd.
If it is really still the princess of Linjiang, then ...... At that time, no matter what the situation is, it can no longer be tolerated.
Such a person, it will be a greater disaster to keep it, compared to it, let the world talk about it, it makes people chill, but it is not so important.
He thought a lot in his heart, and then he heard Princess Linjiang nod directly and said, "I have already heard Jingwu say about this matter, and the letter he wrote asked me about it." She paused, her face full of bitterness and sadness: "The first sentence was to question me, ask me if I was repeating the same trick, and if this matter had anything to do with me." ”
She took the initiative to mention this matter, which still made King Linjiang couldn't help but be shocked.
After being shocked, he laughed, then stared into her eyes and asked her, "So, what do you say?" ”
Princess Linjiang raised her eyes, looked at King Linjiang sincerely and sincerely, did not hide or dodge at all, shook her head and said firmly: "If the concubine doesn't have it, don't say whether I have that ability, you can ask, I am in the temple, most of the time I am sick, and I sleep for more than half a day, not to mention that I only have Mama Qin and a few old women in my hands, what can I do with them?" Don't you know? ”
The people who served around her had indeed been arranged a long time ago, only Mama Qin and a few old people, and they were all women, and they couldn't even go down the mountain gate at ordinary times, so it was indeed a joke to say what they could do.
And no one else has ever been to the temple.
King Linjiang didn't say anything, just stood up with his hands behind his back, went to the window and looked at the gardenias blooming just right outside, smiled and said, "Since there is none, it is naturally the best, Ah Wu He is a good boy with a clear distinction between love and hate...... I hope he doesn't have a day of pain in order to choose between you and Achen. ”
Choice?
What a joke, Princess Linjiang sneered in her heart, when will her biological mother be put on the same status as a cousin? It is even more ridiculous to say what kind of trade-offs.
She gave birth to a son and worked hard to bring him up, but in the end, he broke her heart for an outsider and opposed his brother.
Why?
Who is it all because of? Isn't it because of Shen Chen?!
But on her face, she still lowered her head in fear, glanced at her and quickly took a step back, and said softly: "Don't worry, I already know, the past is like a big dream." I don't like Achen, and it's true that I still haven't let go of the knot, but as you said, Awu is my biological son, can I still be unfavorable to him? I'm always, hoping for him to be good. ”
