Yanmenchun

Chapter 178

After Shen Tuchan knew that Princess Rui met Mrs. Cheng Guogong, she let Princess Tai'an go into the palace to cry to the queen.

Princess Tai'an also held her breath at first, Princess Rui wanted to kill Shen Tuchan, it was no different from wanting to kill her.

So he dressed up and entered the palace.

Of course the queen heard about Shen Tuchan's assassination. After all, Shen Tuchan was from the Jin Dynasty and the daughter of a general. If she died rashly in Dazhou, people might be upset by then. But the assassin was not caught after all, the queen I can only reward something and make a gesture of appeasement.

Princess Tai'an entered the palace aggressively, she was dressed in strict makeup, the empress thought she was going to make a fuss regardless of face, but who knew that she started crying as soon as she entered the palace, the empress was a little at a loss.

Princess Taian knelt on the ground, covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and said with tears in her eyes, "Mother, my son has not been able to eat well and sleep well these few days. She knows how to put on airs and protect my ministers several times when she was in the boudoir, who can she offend as an unmarried orphan, it is clearly aimed at my ministers!"

The queen showed concern, and quickly pointed to Cui Ning and said: "What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you help the crown princess up quickly, the crown princess is frightened, how can she keep kneeling like this?"

Cui Ning hurriedly stepped forward to help Princess Tai'an, and admitted her mistake with a smile: "It's all the servant's fault, please don't blame the princess."

Princess Tai'an pursed her lips and stood up holding her hand, looked at Cui Ning with tears and said: "What did Aunt Cui Ning say, you have done your best to serve your mother, I am grateful to you before it is too late."

After all, she had promised that as long as Cui Ning would do things for her, she would bring Cui Ning into the East Palace in the future.

Cui Ning helped her to sit down, she touched her eyelashes with a handkerchief, and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, I am really terrified. When the crown prince is away, I dare not even go out of the yard. I am dull, afraid The one who offends is one of my own, without any precautions, when I accidentally get killed, I don’t know who I offended!"

"Nonsense." Seeing that she was getting more and more serious, the queen couldn't help but stop her, and said: "You are a dignified princess, who dares to touch your head, don't worry, Shen Tuchan's matter will definitely be dealt with by the Palace His Majesty speaks for you, and the truth will soon be revealed."

Princess Tai'an seemed to be immersed in sadness, she glanced at the queen, then at Cui Ning and said, "I'm afraid Father is trying to protect that person."

These words were a bit straightforward, and the queen gave her a faint look.

Princess Tai'an just touched her face with a handkerchief, looking very wronged.

The queen had no choice but to say seriously: "Crown princess, if you talk too much, you will lose it."

Princess Taian pursed her lips, and said with a somewhat dissatisfied look: "At first, I respected her, thinking that she was an elder and the mother of Princess Zhenyang, but... Princess Zhenyang is talking to my son. The minister was killed on the road with her, and she has seen Duke Cheng's wife several times recently, who doesn't know that Duke Cheng's son couldn't ask for Shen Tuchan before his death, and the two of them must be secretly complaining about my minister!"

This statement is actually a bit far-fetched, but Princess Taian said again: "All the guards who were assassinated knew that the assassin was a master of arrows, who can take people's lives from a hundred steps away, and shoot people off horses with one arrow. Such a master I am afraid that there are only a handful of royal guards, and the empress and son feel chills when they think about it, how could the emperor allow her to kill me!"

The more she said this, the more she went too far. How could Princess Rui want to kill her? She was not in the team, but her analysis was clear and logical.

The queen's indifferent expression just now became unpredictable, and she said: "Do you have any evidence? Besides, even if it was really her, Zhenyang died, and she felt uncomfortable. I'm afraid she just wanted to vent her anger. After this incident, it's hard to think about it." Won't do it again."

This is to remind Princess Tai'an that Princess Rui has her back to the emperor, how they can control her.

Princess Tai'an's original intention was not on Princess Rui's head either, she shook her handkerchief with a proud look and said: "Mother, the sons and ministers are juniors, so I don't care about many, but Duke Cheng's mansion is in charge of our family's affairs Oh, this hand is too long!"

The queen really wanted to laugh when she heard the words. Now she felt that her daughter-in-law was really interesting.

The exquisite and cold armor on the queen's hand tapped lightly on the armrest of the phoenix chair, making a slight 'da da' sound, and she said: "No one else can interfere with our Yuwen family's affairs, and you don't need to be involved in this matter." Cry again, Your Majesty and I will make the decision for you, remember to pretend to be dumb about things you shouldn’t know, you also grew up in a deep palace, I don’t need this palace to remind you.”

Only then did Princess Tai'an stop crying, nodded and said: "You still have to rely on your mother."

The two said a few more words, and the queen said that she was tired and asked Princess Tai'an to go back.

Princess Tai'an stood up anxiously and said: "Queen Mother, I have something else to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

The queen was puzzled, and even said with a little displeasure: "Say something directly."

Then Princess Tai'an said simply: "Your Highness seems to have recommended someone to His Majesty."

The Highness she spoke of would not have anyone else except Yu Wenji. Although the recommendation was vague, the Queen understood that Princess Tai'an was trying to sell her.

Before entering the door, she was crying and showing weakness, regardless of the princess's demeanor, saying that the queen had an opinion on Cheng Guogong's mansion, and the queen agreed to sell it again.

The queen looked at her with a scrutinizing smile and said, "Tai'an, I heard that you grew up under the empress of Jin Dynasty?"

Princess Tai'an didn't seem to notice the consideration in her words, and replied respectfully: "The queen mother treats her children very well."

The queen smiled and said: "She has two sons and one daughter, she is more blessed than Ben Gong. Since you are taught by her, it is not bad."

Princess Tai'an didn't realize whether it was a good word or something else, she smiled and said: "The queen mother is also a blessed one, His Royal Highness the crown prince is filial, and the son is now under your knee, so he is also blessed by you."

She had talked enough, the queen naturally understood what she meant, and said, "Shuyi didn't cause you any trouble in the Prince's residence, did it?"

Princess Tai'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, queen mother, what kind of trouble can you cause? I originally thought that there are few sisters in the house. Shuyi and younger sister Yunxiang are both gentle and gentle. It's too late for me to like it."

The queen said Qin Shuyi, but Princess Tai'an said two people, emphasizing adding a younger sister behind Qin Yunxiang.

When Princess Tai'an left, the Empress couldn't help but smile, Cui Ning saw this and said, "Your Majesty, what does the Crown Princess mean?"

The queen fiddled with her armor and said, "She is negotiating terms with me."

Cui Ning showed doubts on her face, the queen smiled and said: "She is saying that she is more useful than Qin Shuyi. If I don't trust her, I can get Qin Yunxiang into the Prince's Mansion, but she doesn't want Qin Shuyi."

Cui Ning showed disapproval on her face: "Where is this up to her?"

The queen smiled and said nothing.

After leaving the palace, the maid beside Princess Tai'an asked: "Your Majesty, how are you?"

As soon as Princess Tai'an got into the carriage, she pulled her face down, took out the handkerchief in her hand and threw it away: "Although it doesn't smell very good, but if you don't expect this thing, I really can't cry."

Shen Tuchan's idea, the handkerchief was wiped with a little onion water.
