Chapter 158 Plotting Against Each Other 2
While the eldest princess was taking action, the second princess also went to see her father, then relayed Ripple's words, poured herself a cup of tea, and then said unwillingly:
"The Queen Mother reminded me this time because she is obviously dissatisfied with the Zhao family's military power. Moreover, this time there is also the matter of the third sister mixed in. I am really unlucky."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao also looked unhappy and said in a faint voice:
"I asked why I haven't seen Mr. Xian during this period. It turns out that he has already gone to the third emperor's daughter. He is just a servant who can't stand up to the stage. Now he has surpassed me. He is just relying on the fact that he is an old man in the former residence and has My daughter is with me."
"Father, please don't get so angry. You are the emperor's husband, and you will be the only one who can be buried with the emperor in a hundred years. They can only watch."
The second princess spoke to comfort her, and then said in a hateful voice:
"The third sister is really in the wrong place. If something happens to her, the Queen Mother will definitely be angry with me."
"This might as well be an opportunity to bring down the eldest princess."
Mrs. Zhao rubbed the cup in her hand and said softly.
"Father means"
"If something happens to the third princess, you can pin the matter on the eldest princess."
"Will Mother Queen believe it?"
"You two are now competitors. Something happened to the Third Princess. She is the biggest beneficiary, and you are the biggest victim. You tell me what others will think of it when the time comes."
"They will think that the eldest princess wanted to eliminate me, so she tried every means to make the third sister have an accident while I was in charge of the country. This would not only prove my incompetence, but also make the queen mother angry at me.
Unless I am stupid, I will never do such a self-digging thing, and the object of their suspicion will naturally be the eldest princess! What a wonderful move! "
The second princess suddenly had an idea and immediately had an idea. She said a few words to her father and left in a hurry.
After thinking for a while, the imperial husband took care of himself, and then went to see the queen.
Since moving to Zhuoxiu Garden, the Queen has not stayed overnight at any of them for a long time, citing her illness as an excuse. She will not summon them if nothing happens, but she will give them a lot of rewards.
Lianyi was not surprised at all that the emperor's husband would come to see her. She just asked Zhao to play a game of chess with her. The other party expressed his loyalty in words, but she did not comment. She just reminded him not to interfere too much with the second princess's decision. It was very boring for Ms. Zhao.
The third princess of Fengqi Kingdom didn't know yet that her eldest sister and second sister were concerned about her life at the same time. She was still drinking the bitter concoction and occasionally acting coquettishly to the virtuous servant. I don't know that the threat of death is getting closer and closer.
Half a month later, the used items collected by the eldest princess were transported to the disaster-stricken city. Fengxuan City also received ten carts of supplies. After the items were delivered, the person who transported the goods did not leave immediately, but helped distribute the items, because They were the ones who transported the things, and they knew exactly what was in the car.
Because of their participation, the work efficiency is very high, and everything is allocated in one day.
The marked clothes, after being tossed around a few times, arrived at the place where the Third Princess and the others were. However, the items were not delivered to the Third Princess, but were stopped by Xian Shijun.
"I don't know if these old clothes have been starched or washed, but it is better not to let the Third Princess wear them. She is still seriously ill and cannot have any evil mistakes. I brought her a few old clothes, enough for a change, and sent these to other soldiers. "
"yes."
The female guard also felt that the delicate and elegant third princess would not wear such old clothes, so she casually gave the clothes to the two recruits from poor families in the tent next door. They were not so particular and naturally accepted them happily.
There are also grades in the barracks. It is their turn after the veterans have picked them. What good things can be found in the rest, but the ones given to the three princesses are definitely better than theirs. They only know that the female soldier next door has a distinguished status and do not know. The other party is a princess, so there is no burden to put things away.
But five days later, all five recruits in the tent next door were infected with the plague. These five people were immediately taken away, and then medical officers began to fumigate the tent where they lived, and their belongings were also gathered together. Carry out incineration.
"It's really strange. Why was it that only the people in their tent had an accident? Everyone in the surrounding tents was fine. And this was the tent inside. How did they get infected?"
Heavily armed doctors are searching for the source of the infection, fearing that the plague will spread among the soldiers and something big will happen.
The speaker had no intention of listening, and the cold-faced guard's eyes flashed, and he turned around and went to the tent of the Third Princess. He asked them if any of them had come into contact with the tent next door. Sure enough, two people stood there. He came out and said that they had given away old clothes.
"Leave the Third Princess' tent immediately."
Konoe ordered directly.
The two were stunned, but still followed the order and left the tent immediately. Xian Shijun also noticed something was wrong and asked directly:
"But what's the problem?"
"My subordinates suspect that someone is targeting the Third Princess, but there is no evidence, and the time when the people in the next tent contracted the plague is too coincidental. I dare not bet on this possibility, so I asked these two people who were in contact with foreign objects to leave temporarily."
"Do you suspect that they deliberately spread the plague through the things they distributed?"
Xian Shijun frowned and recalled the people and things he had come into contact with recently.
"Yes, the body of the Third Princess is recovering. We have not been infected by the plague because of the good protection. If we all fall down, who will protect the Third Princess? Just in case, we can only send the Third Princess out of Fengxuan City. It’s certainly not the best outcome.”
The cold-faced Konoe said in a deep voice.
Xian Shijun nodded, admitting that this was the worst possible outcome.
"In this case, we must be more careful. Before coming, the Queen asked Meiyuan to prepare the medicine package. Remember to boil the preventive medicine soup and drink it every day.
You should pay attention to the situation of the female soldiers next door, and it is best to find out how they were infected with the plague. "
"yes."
After the guards left the tent, they gathered people together, arranged their shifts, and then took turns guarding outside the tent of the third princess, checking the things at the entrance more carefully.
In the evening, Konoe met Xian Shijun alone with a serious face and informed him of the investigation results:
"Those five people were infected because the clothes they wore seemed to have been worn by people infected with the plague. I went to check and found that the clothes were all old clothes distributed this time. We didn't keep any of them, so we A bullet dodged.”
After hearing this, Mr. Xian Shijun's eyes sharpened. This was obviously aimed at the Third Princess, and he was very sure.
"I will send a message to the Queen right now, asking you to strengthen the protection of the Third Princess."
"yes!"
On the other side, the confidants of the Second Princess were in low-key contact with people sent by Panlong Kingdom.
The second princess discussed with her people and felt that even if she wanted to frame the third princess, her people could not do it themselves. Once she was found out, she would be in a place of eternal destruction. At this time, people from the Panlong Kingdom happened to appear, and she I think this is a good time to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
