Riding the Pheonix Chapter 511: Thank God
The seven-day ritual ended successfully.
The last item is the feast of thanksgiving to the gods, to send all the gods away properly.
Mingwei was arranged to stay with Madam Bolinghou. She was not married yet, so it was not easy for her to sit with the princess. She also had no close elders, so she had to ask Madam Bolinghou to take her with her.
Mrs. Bolinghou was very kind to her, even a little flattering.
She knew clearly the causes and consequences of Lu's expulsion from the palace. I secretly regretted why I was blind in the first place and married such a stupid and foolish daughter-in-law.
She didn’t even think about it, what would be the benefit of dealing with His Highness the King of Yue? Regardless of their feelings, it is an undeniable fact that the King of Yue has been raised in his own family for twenty years. In the eyes of others, they are the same.
And the imperial concubine is still there. Even if you think he will lose power, you should wait until the throne is replaced!
But there is no regret medicine in the world. I can only accept the daughter-in-law I married.
The royal banquet is boring to say the least.
During the banquet, people kept coming to talk to Mrs. Bolinghou. In the final analysis, they were trying to find out Wei’s truth.
Mingwei didn't even recognize the person, and didn't want to bother to remember their anger, so he put on a smiling face and let them look at her, either complimenting her or saying something sarcastic.
You can say whatever you like, she won't lose any meat anyway.
The prince was restless.
In the middle of the banquet, he made excuses to leave.
"Are you all ready?" he asked the guard.
The guard wanted to persuade him one more time: "Your Highness, why don't you slow down? As soon as the God-Thanking Banquet is over, we can go back to the East Palace and ask Mr. Fu again..."
"We can't wait any longer!" The prince interrupted him angrily, "Do you think we can wait another day if everything is fine now? I haven't dared to sleep for the past two days! The less she attacks, the more terrifying it becomes. Because she knew that this ceremony was very important to her father, she didn't want to defeat her father. She had been favoring her for twenty years, and she had the most accurate grasp of her father's thoughts! She was waiting for a killing blow. What an opportunity! She must have thought that Gu also thought so, so she would launch it as soon as the God-Thanking Banquet was over. By then, even if we met Mr. Fu, it would be too late..."
"Your Highness!" The guard wanted to say, this is all your unilateral speculation, but the prince clearly didn't listen.
He was frightened by his own imagination.
"Stop talking and make arrangements!"
"...Yes."
As soon as the prince left the table, King Xin immediately noticed it.
"My dear brother, do you think you have any ideas?" He also asked his bodyguard.
The guard replied: "My subordinates have been watching for a few days, and there is indeed something going on. It seems to be heading towards the back hall."
King Xin smiled: "He is so anxious! I thought he could endure it until the ceremony was over and ask his Mr. Fu!"
The guard laughed: "How can you go wrong with your plan? The prince is timid and impatient. As long as he is provoked, he will not be able to sit still."
"I didn't expect the effect to be so good. I should have told him this news earlier. Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that our concubine was actually my eldest sister-in-law. No wonder my father kept it a secret so closely, and would rather let others know I thought I was having an affair with my nephew-in-law, but I didn’t want to reveal the slightest bit about it.”
The guard said: "There is no difference between the niece-in-law and the niece-in-law, but the difference between Princess Yongxi and Mrs. Yang is huge. Not only is it a scandal in the royal family, but she might also be involved in the incident that year."
King Xin nodded: "Isn't that right? Marrying a widowed niece is just a matter of spreading a few words. If you get involved in that matter, then..."
He paused for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he was asking himself: "That incident back then had nothing to do with my father, right?"
King Xin always thinks too much.
As soon as the emperor's edict of returning to the clan came out, he became suspicious of it.
The child survived, but what about the mother? Because Mr. Yang's posthumous son was unable to support himself, Yang Shu was blamed. Could it be that Mrs. Yang Er, who died of illness at that time, was also blamed?
Looking at Concubine Pei's attitude towards Yang Shu, I used to think that they were mother and son, and it was natural. Now that we are no longer mother and son, can we still be so close to each other?
King Xin was suspicious, and after a lot of effort, he actually found some clues.
For example, he found an old woman who lived at the Princess Changzhu Villa in the Ming Dynasty and confirmed that a woman once lived there with a baby.
Everyone carefully protected her, but never mentioned her identity.
King Xin pushed back and forth and felt that they were inseparable.
The person who died was Mrs. Yang Er.
It was difficult to give birth and both mother and child died.
So, Yang Shu took the name of the third young master Yang, and Princess Yongxi took the name of the second wife Yang.
He went to find those noble ladies who had met Princess Yongxi, and all of them said that Princess Yongxi was very similar to Mrs. Yang Er, and that during the ten years when Princess Pei first entered the palace, she saw almost no outsiders.
It’s okay not to be suspicious, but there are loopholes everywhere if you are suspicious.
King Xin took this matter seriously and didn't think about how to use it.
The most shameless person to expose this matter is his father!
Forget it if he takes away his niece-in-law, will others suspect that he had a hand in the death of Prince Sihuai because of this incident?
King Xin was in a dilemma, thinking that this was a big secret, but he chose to avoid it.
Later, he had an idea, and he knew the secret. He was so troubled with sleeping and eating, why not leave the problem to his good brother, His Highness the Prince?
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
He arranged the maid and mother-in-law that day. The woman disappeared afterwards, and it was also his fault. ~IndoMTL.com~ Because it is a religious practice, the inside and outside are isolated, and the prince has no chance to communicate with the outside world. With his character, he will definitely scare himself.
King Xin did not expect to defeat the prince in one fell swoop. He just wanted to let him fight Concubine Pei to divert his attention.
Unexpectedly, the prince surprised him again.
He actually didn't even wait until the banquet was over before taking action.
"Let's go and see what my good brother wants to do!"
King Xin was in high spirits and expected the prince to give him a surprise.
When the prince left the banquet, Yang Shu thought it was nothing. When King Xin also left the banquet and did not come back for a long time, he also became suspicious.
It’s really weird. In the middle of the banquet, isn’t leaving the table just to change your clothes? Why did it take so long?
He was curious and wary of these two people, so he also found an excuse to leave.
He tried to find a way to deliver a message to Mingwei, and used the little white snake to find out their whereabouts, and then he found the two people.
It is also interesting. When the prince left the table, King Xin followed him, and he followed him again. The whole mantis stalked the cicada, with the oriole behind, almost forming a string.
Mingwei watched the little white snake scurry back into his sleeve. He was about to ask about the situation when he heard an exclamation from in front of him.
She raised her head and saw Concubine Pei sitting there with a sullen face, and a little palace maid fell to her knees, begging for mercy.
But she accidentally spilled the entire bottle of wine on the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine frowned and waved her hand: "That's all, step back! Don't do things so recklessly in the future."
Then he got up and went to the back to change clothes.
Mingwei remembered that before she entered the palace, Mrs. Ji told her to bring a few extra clothes...
No way? This kind of scripted plot is actually used in the palace?
