Chapter 36 The Panic of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Prime Minister!
Ever since Zi'an entered the palace, Prime Minister Xia has been ordering people to inquire about what's going on in the palace.
The old lady's niece was Concubine Mei in the palace, so the old lady ordered people to see the concubine Mei, and asked the concubine Mei to ask someone to inquire.
Those who inquired came out of the palace to report to the old lady and Prime Minister Xia.
"Concubine Mei said that King Liang fell ill in the palace, and all the imperial doctors went there. After the eldest lady was summoned to the palace, she also stayed in the East Palace. Later, she went to the Palace of Longevity for some reason. The empress dowager and the noble lady The concubines also went, and the empress dowager lost her temper with the young lady, saying she wanted to beat the young lady into the violent room, but she didn't beat her in the end, and it was heard that it was the regent who begged for mercy."
After hearing the report, the old lady couldn't help asking in amazement: "King Liang is seriously ill? How is the situation?"
"Concubine Mei heard from Doctor Liu that the situation is not good, and I'm afraid it will die."
The old lady couldn't help but frowned, pondered for a moment, looked at Prime Minister Xia and said, "Why is the King of Liang seriously ill at this time? It is reported that the King of Liang is seriously ill, so what is the little bitch going to do in the palace?"
Mrs. Linglong listened to her and said, "Mother, do you think it's the Queen who thinks that King Liang is not married yet, so she just disappeared like this, which is very unfair to King Liang, and then wants Xia Zi'an to complete the ceremony before King Liang dies? And let Xia Zian be buried?"
The old lady nodded, "It's reasonable for you to say that. After all, King Liang is the prince of the court. How could he leave without getting married? No wonder, the regent king and queen both sent people to pass her on."
Prime Minister Xia raised doubts, "But why did King Liang become seriously ill? Although he was disabled before, he was in good health. Could this sudden onset have something to do with regretting the marriage? The queen may not let us go."
The old lady's face was pale, and she said solemnly: "That's right, so, we must hurry up to facilitate the marriage between Wan'er and the crown prince. As long as we become in-laws with the queen, the queen will show mercy to us."
Mrs. Linglong suggested: "Why don't we ask Concubine Mei to intercede? I heard that Concubine Mei has a good relationship with the empress, so I asked Concubine Mei to convey a message that Yuan's remorse was all caused by Yuan's troubles. If you vent your anger, you will only vent your anger on Yuan."
Prime Minister Xia's eyes darkened, "Of course we have to say this, but we have to be prepared, you invite the prince to come tomorrow, and let Wan'er cook rice with him, and in this way, the marriage will be settled. "
"Yes!" Mrs. Linglong replied, with a layer of joy in her eyes, it's really great, she will soon be the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness.
Then once the Yuan family died, she would be able to become the wife of the prime minister, and then become the mother-in-law of the current prince, and become the emperor's in-laws. Who would dare to underestimate her in the future?
Thinking of this, she could hardly help laughing.
The old lady glanced at her lightly, "Frivolous, you, you should settle your temper. It has not yet been confirmed that Xia Zian will be buried. Things in the palace are changing rapidly, and we have to make other preparations."
After all, the old lady has gone through many storms, and she knows that this matter may not be that simple, but on the surface, Xia Zian really has no room to turn around. If she dies alone, and the safety of the prime minister's house can be kept, she will die a hundred times It's not a pity.
Madam Linglong restrained her expression, "Yes, I understand."
She is respectful on the surface, but in her heart she is very dissatisfied with the old lady. Thinking of her hegemony, she will become his wife and the prince's mother-in-law in the future, so she doesn't have to be angry with her, but wants to make her feel better.
The concierge stepped in quickly and reported: "Old lady, Mr. Xiang, that nanny is here again today."
The old lady stood up abruptly, "Quick, please come in."
Prime Minister Xia asked suspiciously, "What is Nanny Yang doing here?"
The old lady said: "I don't know, just deal with it calmly."
Mrs. Linglong asked: "Isn't it here to convey the order? Could it be that the Empress really wants to punish our Xiangfu?"
"Shut your stinky mouth!" The old lady gave her a hard look, "I know you're talking nonsense."
Seeing that she was angry, Mrs. Linglong had no choice but to keep silent, and stood aside cautiously.
The concierge led Nanny Yang in, and the old lady greeted her with a smile, "Grandma, today you and the Xiangfu are really destined, you came here twice a day, this time you have to eat dinner before letting you go."
Yang Momo smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, old lady, there is no need to eat. This time, this servant is ordered to come, and I have to go back to the palace soon."
"On orders? Did the empress ask you to come?" The old lady's eyes flashed, but she still maintained a smile on her face, "Sit down and have a cup of tea before talking slowly."
Nanny Yang stepped forward, in front of Prime Minister Xia, "This servant has seen the prime minister."
Prime Minister Xia said: "Nurse is someone close to the queen, so there is no need to be formal."
Yang Nanny said seriously: "Even if they are around the empress, they are just slaves. The prime minister is the humerus minister of the current imperial court, and he is in the first rank. The slaves must not lose their etiquette."
Seeing her appearance, the old lady knew that she was not showing face, so she gave a stiff smile and said, "I don't know what orders the empress has?"
Yang Momo looked at the old lady and said: "It's like this, the empress asked the servants to come out to pack some clothes for the eldest lady. The empress likes the eldest lady very much and wants to keep her in the palace for a few days."
"Oh?" The old lady and Xia Cheng looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes, "Really? Let her live in the palace? Isn't it appropriate?"
Could it be that he was going to be buried? So what do you leave her in the palace for? Where can I stay for a few days? That little bitch has become so difficult to deal with now, she must have said a lot of bad things to the queen.
Nanny Yang raised her face, "Is this still fake? The Prime Minister is reluctant to let her go, right? Indeed, the eldest lady is so smart, she must be the jewel in the palm of the Prime Minister's palm, how can she be willing to let her go? Forget it, if she is really reluctant to let her go Spend the night in the palace, then the servants will go back."
Mrs. Linglong held Nanny Yang with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't go, mama, it's not because you are reluctant. This is a good thing you can't even ask for. My mother is just worried. Our family Zi'an rarely goes out. He doesn't know etiquette. Bumped into the Empress Empress."
Nanny Yang said indifferently: "You don't need to worry about that, the empress doesn't know how much she likes the young lady. By the way, the empress also said that people in the palace are afraid that the young lady will not be used well, so they let the maid who serves her Follow into the palace."
"Xiao Sun?" Mrs. Linglong's face darkened slightly. Today, when Nanny Yang came, Xia Zian hinted in front of Nanny Yang that she should let Xiao Sun go, but after Xia Zian entered the palace, she ordered someone to beat her up again. Xiaosun paused, and now that girl is still locked in a dark room, she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.
Seeing Mrs. Linglong's expression, Yang Momo knew that they hadn't let that girl go. She frowned and said, "That's right, it's that girl, the Empress appointed her to enter the palace."
The old lady didn't know that Mrs. Linglong had attacked Xiaosun again, and thought that although she was tortured, she must still be allowed to enter the palace. Which girl wouldn't be beaten a few times?
So, she ordered: "Come on, bring Xiaosun up, and pack up a few pieces of Missy's clothes for Mammy to take into the palace."
