Chapter 100 The Eve of the Great War
The empress was furious about this matter, "Is this old man emboldened? How dare he threaten me with this? Then what is Xia Wan'er? I can't give her the seat of the crown princess."
Liang Taifu looked at the empress's ashen face, and said lightly: "What are you so excited about? Xia Huaijun, an old man, must be recruited here. It doesn't matter who the princess is. The most important thing is who is the princess?" Can help the prince."
"Father doesn't know who Xia Wan'er's mother is." The queen felt disgusted when she thought of Mrs. Linglong. She was ten thousand and ten thousand reluctant to marry the daughter born by this woman.
Taifu Liang blamed lightly, "The queen is short-sighted, how can she achieve great things?
The queen actually knew that Prime Minister Xia's support was indispensable now, but she just lost her temper and was angry at Xia Huaijun's treacherous and cunning.
She took a sip of tea and calmed down slowly. Now if Prime Minister Xia doesn't win over, King Nanhuai will make a move. With the support of Prime Minister Yichao, his chances of winning will be much higher.
She held back her breath and said, "Father, tell Xia Huaijun that my palace will ask the Empress Dowager for an order to grant a marriage."
"I'm afraid the old man won't believe what he said without proof." Liang Taifu said.
"You can just tell him that I promise everything, if he doesn't believe it, then let it be." The queen looked at Mrs. Liang, "Sometimes, when dealing with this kind of person, you can't just be accommodating, you can use your status to suppress you."
Liang Tai Fudao sighed, "Daughter, this Jiangshan conspiracy doesn't mean that you can suppress it with your status. If there is no benefit, who will fight with you? You know, once you lose, the whole family's wealth and life will be lost. Well, he only wants the position of a concubine, so give it to him. If there is no sweetness, how can he win over this group of people with huge appetites? Do you think that dad has been oppressing them all these years by relying on his status as a prince? Do you follow? You are wrong, you don't know how much dad has paid behind his back."
The queen said gratefully: "Father, my daughter knows that you have been worrying about the prince's affairs, and you have worked hard all these years to build this barrier for him. Without you, he would have been removed from the position of the crown prince long ago." Pull it down."
Mrs. Liang looked at her, his eyes were as deep as black holes, "It's good that you can understand father's painstaking efforts, this will, you just look at it and ask for it."
The queen said: "No need, Fengyin is here in this palace, this palace will make the decree of bestowing marriage in person, after it is done, I will report it to the old lady, she will not overthrow it, and I have to take care of my empress's face. "
Mrs. Linglong and Xia Wan'er were overjoyed when the decree of marriage came down.
Xia Wan'er snuggled up to Mrs. Linglong, and said shyly: "Although it will be a matter of time, but the empress herself made the decree, which shows how much she values me."
Mrs. Linglong snorted, "If the empress dowager personally decrees, she will value you. However, it is indeed as you said, you and the prince are like this. If this marriage is not settled, once you are pregnant, outside It would be hard to hear."
Xia Wan'er said unhappily: "Whoever dares to say it, I will tear his mouth off."
Mrs. Linglong is really happy, she is finally going to face the royal family, who will dare to say anything against her in the future? In the future, when Wan'er gets married and asks the crown prince for a title, she will be the imperial wife, and there is no need to be afraid of the old lady in the mansion.
After getting rid of that bitch Yuan, she will be the justifiable Mrs. Xiangye, who would dare to despise her?
"Where's Daddy?" Xia Wan'er asked.
"At your grandmother's side, I don't know what to say." Mrs. Linglong was a little unhappy, "He didn't come to celebrate with us for such a happy event, but went there blindly."
"Grandmother is far-sighted, and it is good for father to listen to grandma's opinion more. Mother should not be so stingy." Xia Wan'er couldn't hide the joy between her brows, and she spoke with a bit of a prince's posture.
Mrs. Linglong hugged her, "It's great, Wan'er, if you are successful, your mother will be successful. Mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Xia Wan'er laughed proudly, but said sternly in an instant, "I really hope that this bitch Xia Zian is not dead, and let her watch me marry into the East Palace in a glorious manner."
Mrs. Linglong said: "By the way, where has this little bitch gone now? There are rumors outside that she took the regent's body. This is impossible."
"Where did she take it away? Xiao Tuo should have taken it away. Xia Zian might have been executed by the concubine," Xia Wan'er said.
"Where did you hear the news?" Madam Linglong asked.
"The prince said it." Xia Wan'er sneered, "I just don't know when she learned medical skills? It was a coincidence that she cured the king of Liang, and then went to treat the regent without knowing the heights of heaven and earth, but she was put to death. The noble concubine then dealt with her."
Xia Wan'er laughed gloatingly as she said that, "We tried our best to get rid of her, but we let her escape. We didn't expect her to seek her own death in the end, which saved us trouble."
Mrs. Linglong hummed, "Yes, I was worried for a while when I heard that she was going to marry the Prince Regent."
Compared to the superficial celebration of the mother and daughter, the old lady and Prime Minister Xia were not so optimistic.
The old lady and Prime Minister Xia had also heard about the news Xia Waner told Mrs. Linglong, but the old lady said straight to the point: "Even if the regent is really dead, his power is still shocking. Will they find someone to kill Murong Jie?" Impossible, they will definitely hold on to the Taifu, but at present, apart from the people of King Nanhuai who are plotting, there is no movement from the people of the Regent, even, you see Xiao Tuo and Su Qingdu is not active in the capital, and the two disappeared at the same time, including Xia Zian who suddenly knew medical skills, don't you think this is strange?"
Prime Minister Xia said: "Mother, assuming that the regent is not dead, and that Xia Zian knows medical skills, but his medical skills are better than the imperial doctor? This is impossible, right? On the surface, Xia Zian has a lot to do with the disappearance of the regent. But, who actually saw Xia Zian take the regent away with his own eyes? Of course, what you said is a possibility, and this possibility is still very high. But is there another possibility? Xiao Tuo took the regent After leaving the regent, and knowing that the noble concubine had killed Xia Zian, she created an illusion that the so-called genius doctor disappeared together with the prince, giving people a guess that the regent was still alive. The relationship between Xiao Tuo and Su Qing Deliberately not appearing is to add firm evidence to this illusion."
"Your deduction is also very reasonable, but according to the news from the Sun residence, Concubine Sun has already returned to the residence and cried. She said that the noble concubine was also very sad and shed tears every day. She also said that the noble concubine was I watched the regent die with my own eyes."
"Then mother, based on your analysis, do you think the regent is dead or not?" Prime Minister Xia asked.
"It's hard to say, but it must have been seriously injured. The old man just felt that Xia Zian had nothing to do with this matter. She should have died in the hands of the concubine. Wait a minute. If the old man did not make a mistake, the envoy will enter the palace tomorrow. It's the beginning of a big fight."
Prime Minister Xia deeply believed that, tomorrow, when the envoy enters the palace, everyone will seize this opportunity to seize the position of ruler.
