Chapter 521 Doting on concubines and destroying wives
Chapter 521 Doting on concubines and destroying wives
After more than a month, Xie Yu stayed in Zhonghe Palace again.
Changchun Palace
An Qianning got the news and sat on a chair, her eyes filled with jealousy.
These days, the queen has not made any move to compete with her for the emperor's favor.
She had given so much and sacrificed so much, but in the end, the queen did nothing, and the emperor went to Zhonghe Palace again with eager eyes.
Even if the queen used some tricks, she would feel better.
But the queen did nothing and easily won the emperor's heart.
Unless the emperor really has the queen in his heart, the queen doesn't have to do anything and can get everything.
This is what she hates the most...
At this moment, An Qian began to hate her father and the Queen Mother.
If her father and aunt had insisted that she wait, saying that it was not the right time, how could she have wasted these years of good time to compete for favor?
Thinking back now, it was really ridiculous to see my father and aunt sitting in the house with such confidence.
An Qian sneered, his face as ugly as a ghost.
Qiu'er shrank her neck aside. Her master has been in a moody state these days, which is completely different from how she is at home.
Second day
When the concubines came to pay their respects, Lin Junxue remained as indifferent as ever.
Compared with An Qianning's arrogance when she was in favor a few days ago, everyone could feel the contrast without words.
The vague gazes from all around made An Qianning feel extremely embarrassed.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival
In the court, Taifu Zhao sued the virtuous king for abusing his granddaughter, allowing his favorite concubine to commit murder, and forcing his granddaughter to death. There was also a blood letter left by Zhao Ru. Every word was an accusation against the virtuous king.
一夜之间
This blood letter spread throughout Kyoto.
Taifu Zhao is well-known all over the world, and he has many proud students in the court.
After a few days, the matter became a complete commotion.
The virtuous king asked to see Xie Yu every day, but Taifu Zhao refused to let him go.
These days, Xie Yu was so busy with this matter that he seldom went into the harem.
The concubines in the harem were quite foresighted and knew that even if someone wanted to win favor, now was not a good time.
Late September
The hot summer has passed, and the weather is getting cooler as autumn arrives.
Zhonghe Palace
Danzhen was grinding ink. "My queen, these days, Zhao Ru's matter has not only not been settled, but it has become more and more serious. If it had not been stopped in time in the court today, this Master Zhao would have hit his head against the pillar and died to seek justice for Zhao Ru. This Master Zhao is so old, and he is so desperate for his granddaughter. I feel sorry for him."
Beside him, Guyu said, "That's right. Master Zhao is also a strong-willed person. He can do this for his granddaughter. It is really admirable."
Lin Junxue put down the brush in her hand, picked up the teacup beside her, and took a sip.
"Admiration is not much, but have you ever thought about it? The name of the virtuous king is known to everyone in the court. He has already lost two princesses, and everyone in Kyoto knows it. If this Taifu Zhao really values and loves his granddaughter so much, he would not let Zhao Ru marry him. Although it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order, before the emperor issued the decree to grant the marriage, he had already asked Taifu Zhao if his granddaughter had a marriage partner?"
Danzhen and Guyu were stunned. They had never thought of this.
Lin Junxue looked indifferent, and then said, "The emperor had clearly told Taifu Zhao before granting the marriage. As long as Taifu Zhao said that his granddaughter was already married, even if he didn't let Zhao Ru marry into a wealthy family, and only married her into an ordinary and down-to-earth family, there would be no marriage that day."
Qiao Xin said, "You all understand what the queen means. Taifu Zhao is also willing to grant this marriage. He is willing to let Zhao Ru marry into the Xianwang Mansion and become the Xianwang Consort."
Lin Junxue felt disdainful
A man like Zhao Taifu who seeks fame and reputation wants to attach himself to the wise king and become a royal relative.
He originally thought that by marrying his granddaughter Zhao Ru to the emperor, he could get close to the emperor's relatives, and he didn't care about Zhao Ru's life or death at all.
Now that Zhao Ruren is dead, he still has to become a stepping stone for Taifu Zhao to shape his image externally.
This is the sad part about women!
Dan Zhen said, "But...but I really don't understand. If this Taifu Zhao is really as the queen said, why did he not hesitate to offend the virtuous king these days to seek justice for the dead Zhao Ru? The virtuous king is a person very close to the emperor, why did he do this?"
Qiaoxin and Guyu couldn't figure this out either...
Lin Junxue's eyes deepened, and she said calmly, "I want to ask you, these days, Taifu Zhao has been biting the virtuous king so hard, saying that he wants justice for Zhao Ru. Many people in the court support him. Do you know that the most important thing is that he has obtained the most important thing?"
"fame"
As soon as Lin Junxue opened her mouth, Qiao Xin understood and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face.
Danzhen and Guyu also understood the meaning of this
Lin Junxue curled her lips, her eyes were cold
"Grandmaster Zhao gained a reputation by stepping on his own granddaughter's life. Over the past few days, this matter has become known to the world. Everyone says that Grandmaster Zhao loves his granddaughter so much that he is willing to sacrifice his own life to seek justice for her. His character of valuing love and friendship has been played out by Grandmaster Zhao."
Qiao Xin sighed
"So, this poor person is only Zhao Ru left. When she was alive, she was a tool for Taifu Zhao to get close to the virtuous king. Now when she died, her own grandfather did not let her go. She is really pitiful."
Guyu said, "But, Madam, there is one more thing that I cannot understand. The virtuous prince is deeply trusted by the emperor. Even if Taifu Zhao does this for his reputation, is he really not afraid of offending the emperor? In this matter, the emperor will definitely side with the virtuous prince."
Lin Junxue's lips curled up slowly, a meaningful smile
"Not necessarily. These days, the emperor has been letting Master Zhao make trouble."
Danzhen and the other two were shocked
What does this mean?
Lin Junxue said slowly, "Do you really think that the emperor will favor the virtuous king in this matter? If the emperor really wanted to favor the virtuous king, he would have gone against the public opinion and protected the virtuous king. This matter would not have come to this point. To have come to this point, I am afraid that the emperor has also contributed a lot to it and let it go."
At first, Lin Junxue couldn't understand the matter of Zhao Ru.
Why did Xie Yu allow Taifu Zhao to make trouble all the time?
Over the past few days, she has already had some vague guesses in her mind.
unless……
Xie Yu was really impatient with the virtuous king. Over the years, Xie Yu had cleaned up the mess for the virtuous king. Now, he was afraid that enough was enough.
This matter, perhaps from the beginning when Xie Yu granted the marriage, was a scheme to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
And perhaps Taifu Zhao had guessed Xie Yu's thoughts, so he dared to bite the virtuous king.
After all, it was Xie Yu who gave Master Zhao the confidence to make trouble.
The matter has now reached a point where it is out of control.
No matter how Xie Yu dealt with the virtuous king, it would be reasonable.
If it is true as she guessed, Xie Yu is the one who really wants to get rid of the virtuous king.
