Chapter 363 Meru

Always graceful, calm and collected Zhang Shaoguang rare loss of composure, her trembling hand stroked on her daughter's shoulder, whispered: "What did you say? Wei Changjuan ...... her ...... how could you be so confused! Do you really think that Rui Yu Tang's many years of accumulated weakness will allow people to bully it to the point where the first daughter is being taken by force and still have to endure it?"

Liu Ruoye sneered, ''Could it be that they dare to spread the word? Don't you want the honor of the Fengzhou Wei Clan? Wei Zhenghong hasn't left his post so far, can Rui Yu Tang afford the consequences of abrogating the Crown Prince? They will definitely let Wei Changjuan die a violent death to silence him!"

"Wei family hide things down doesn't mean they don't know it's you who did it!" Zhang Shaoguang fingers tightly grasped Liu Ruoye's shoulder, because of the excessive force, let Liu Ruoye feel shoulder pain tight, just now mother and daughter two emotions are very excited, there is no time to care, Zhang Shaoguang is almost incoherent, "The six valves in the sea, even if the Rui Yu Hall is temporarily weak, but also can not be underestimated! Do you forget that this hall did not have a heyday before? But even though this hall is strong, it is still subject to the jurisdiction of this clan! You're making a mortal enemy of Rui Yu Hall! Even though our Liu family is not weaker than the Wei family, the Wei family is only after you, and the clan can't possibly protect you!"

Liu Ruoye gritted her teeth and said, ''Then what can I do? Without using Wei Changjuan to replace me, and then taking the opportunity to crash and scare the Crown Prince, do I have to suffer the Crown Prince's insults myself? That bitch Liu Ruoyu is now trying to push me towards the Crown Prince! Mother, you can still ask father to come and go with you, but what about my daughter? Liu Ruoyu has been sick for three days, setting up banquets, and sending people to fetch me to the Eastern Palace every time! If I ...... didn't happen to have Wei Changjuan out of her mother's filial piety last time, and I invited her along, I'd be the one whose innocence was tainted by the Crown Prince today!"

Speaking of this, as heartfelt as she was, she couldn't help but weep! Wailing, she cried, "Why did we have to choose her to be the Crown Princess in the first place? Our family does not intend to abolish the crown prince, today she is the crown princess, so she can harm me like this. Tomorrow she did the queen, then I have to do? Such a vicious-hearted bitch should not have been told to leave the pavilion alive in the first place!"

Zhang Shaoguang for this matter is also feel chagrined, sighing and stroked his daughter's back, whispered: "That can not be helped, at that time, the clan is suitable to do the Crown Princess of the three girls, I naturally can not afford to do your, your aunt can not afford to do your cousin, is not Liu Ruoyu that bitch, who else can it be? Besides, she has always been timid, I thought that her kind of person as the queen is not much, not to mention that before she served the worry to come crane, would not be able to live for a few years. I was thinking of letting her be the Crown Princess for a few years first, so that Empress Gu can rest assured. If she is not good, when there are other girls in our clan have grown up, the big deal is to marry another one ...... but who knows ......"

Who knows that this first daughter of the first wife all of a sudden like enlightenment, now completely out of their mother and daughter's hands not to mention, even her father Liu Hei can not help her? Now turn against them mother and daughter two, in the way of identity, Zhang Shaoguang and Liu Ruoye certainly know its intentions, but also can not help but cry secretly can not eat.

"The Empress values not her, but our Liu family, can't we put her ......" Liu Ruoye's beautiful eyes turned, showing a ruthless color, raising her hand on the side of her neck to compare a gesture.

"But the Crown Prince is shameless, and is now salivating over both our mother and daughter!" Zhang Shaoguang said in a deep voice, "In case something happens to Liu Ruoyu that little bitch, wouldn't it be just what the Crown Prince wants, taking the opportunity to ask for your hand in marriage as the successor Crown Princess? Now that the Shen family is powerful and the Wei family has a revival, the saint is very unhappy and is trying to stabilize the position of the Crown Prince, lest he be endangered by the Valve Read! If the Crown Prince requests something at this time, the Emperor will surely grant it!"

Liu Ruoye was stunned and murmured, "But mother, have you thought about it? The Crown Prince hasn't even succeeded the throne yet, but he dares to attack Wei Changjuan. If he is crowned, will the Empress be able to suppress him from attacking us? Even if the Empress can, at that time, why would she continue to protect us?"

Zhang Shaoguang was stunned and subconsciously said, "You mean ......?"

"There are many royal children and grandchildren at His Majesty's knee aren't there?"

...... East Palace, Crown Princess Liu Ruoyu holding an obviously overweight civet cat, look lazy reclining on the couch, looking at Juzhong walked in, idly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The slave girl just walked to the place where we were almost at the palace gate, and was suddenly stopped by someone, saying that there was a letter to be handed over to the Empress." Ju Zhong performed a salute and said with an odd expression, "That person handed the letter to the slave girl, and said one sentence, saying, this letter, in exchange for a thousand taels of silver for the empress!"

Liu Ruoyu was stunned and lost her smile, "There is such a thing? You put the letter down and go out to ask Meru to come in."

Juzhong went out as instructed and brought in a young chamberlain of twelve or thirteen years of age.

This little chamberlain born some simple, in fact, he really is not smart, the palace did not prohibit the chamberlain to recognize words, and even sometimes there are old chamberlains will be specialized in teaching some of the palace slaves to learn to read and write. Just this silent slave people stupid, it is said that he was sold into the palace at the age of seven or eight years old to play the hand, and now even their own names are not recognized.

However, Liu Ruoyu sent him to serve in her courtyard for this unintelligence.

Seeing him come at this moment, Liu Ruoyu raised her chin towards the letter on the case, "Open it and take a look."

Murnu mute answered a sound, also don't ask the reason, just like this go over to pick up the letter, some clumsy tear open - in the middle of this, Liu Ruoyu and the side of the crowd of servants are not looking, after a moment, see holding the letter of the Murnu still safe and sound, Liu Ruoyu only satisfied with a nod, said: "Put the letter Put it down, you go out."

And he ordered the palace maid, "Reward him with five taels of silver!"

Liu Ruoyu got up and walked to the side of the case, she ate a big loss in the hands of her stepmother, after entering the palace, more and more cautious and careful, although just told the silent slave to try this letter is not anything in the hand, but at the moment, but still refused to personally touch. The silver hairpin at the temples, scratched out the letter - the letter is not long, but only a few sentences, but let Liu Ruoyu face suddenly changed!

Her face, which was already on the pale side, turned pale in an instant not to mention that she was even shocked to the point where she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth in order to hide a shriek!

After a moment of rapid thinking, Liu Ruoyu also does not care whether the letter has any more hidden hand, directly even by the silent slave tore open the envelope with the letterhead together with the pick up to the sleeve a stuffed, and in a deep voice commanded the left and right: "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to immediately go to see the mother!"

In the Weiyang Palace, Empress Gu was surprised to hear that the Crown Princess had come in a hurry, saying that there was a hundred thousand urgent matters to see herself - the so-called know your son like a mother, the Empress thought of the unconscious Crown Prince at once, and her heart sank: "Could it be that Seeker, the ungrateful son, has stirred up something big out of the blue again? " Busy calling for someone to invite the Crown Princess in.

Sure enough, when Liu Ruoyu arrived in front of Empress Gu, she bowed and said right off the bat that she had something to say to the Empress alone.

Empress Gu sent off the left and right courtiers in response to her request, and Liu Ruoyu immediately jumped onto her lap with a blurred face, "My daughter-in-law begs mother-in-law to save the Crown Prince ah!"

"What did you say?" Empress Gu's guess came true, her heart was aghast, but she also still held the idea that the Crown Princess might have been pre-empting and exaggerating on purpose, and said, a bit unhappily, "The Crown Prince is nobly the Crown Prince of the country, what is it that requires this Palace to save him? You put words to this palace clearly!"

Liu Ruoyu sobbed: "Mother, not the subject daughter-in-law alarmist, really that Wei Changjuan how to say are Fengzhou Wei's daughter, the first born of a prominent eunuch, if it is serious Na into the East Palace as a side consort, but also just, but she simply did not enter the door which! The prince put her ...... now she killed herself, it is said that before killing herself also left a letter, which ...... this can be how is good ah!"

Empress Gu almost didn't faint when she heard it!

"Are you saying ...... are saying that Seeker he ...... he he actually took the Wei family's seventh young miss?!" Empress Gu simply couldn't believe that the Crown Prince was bold to such an extent!

If this is an ordinary official's daughter, even if the betrothed, privately let a person to dissolve the marriage contract to give a name is also. In any case, now there is a side consort in the East Palace, several good people, and the name of a child. But Wei Changjuan, that is the Rui Yu Hall generation of the first daughter, even if her father Wei Sheng Yi is concubine, but she is Mrs. Duanmu's own young daughter!

In terms of fame on her body, she was no worse than Crown Princess Liu Ruoyu!

In this one instant, Empress Gu's first thought was: would the Wei family be willing to give Wei Changjuan to the Crown Prince as a side consort?

The second thought is: Wei Changjuan killed himself, and left a letter?

Just like a pot of ice water poured from the head to the feet in a cold day, Empress Gu's whole body was trembling at the moment - she knew that Rui Yu Tang had been weak for a long time, if it was possible, this time would never be willing to provoke the matter of abolishing the Crown Prince, but even the Crown Princess Liu Ruoyu knew about this matter, in case it spreads out... ...

For the sake of the Wei family's face, the Wei family must have the crown prince give Wei Changjuan an explanation!

Can a concubine's position or an apology be enough to cover up the account that a prestigious family has been demanding for hundreds of years? Unless the Wei clan is gone, the Crown Prince will surely be abolished as a commoner!

A family that has survived three dynasties and flourished for hundreds of years, the depth of its heritage is unimaginable to ordinary people!

What's more, the crown prince is not what perfect person, not only not, or handle as many as hair, the world privately recognized the Lord of mediocrity and lawlessness! If you want to abolish him, you don't even need to find an excuse.

Empress Gu has only one son! She and Princess Qing Xin's future glory and wealth are all depending on Shen Xun ...... not to mention that the Empress and Deng Guifei have a deep enmity, if this matter is caught by Guifei, the Empress simply can not imagine her own future fate!

Even though Empress Gu had stood in the palace for decades without falling, and her wrist was overpowering, at this moment, she was also shocked by the Crown Prince's stupidity and was at her wits' end!

It was a long time before she heard the cries of the Crown Princess, who was still crouching on her knees, "...... My daughter-in-law is willing to give up her position, but I'm just afraid that the Wei family won't be able to swallow this, and that they must go to Father's side to seek justice for Wei Changjuan! Mother, His Highness the Crown Prince is your own flesh and blood, you must save him!"

Empress Gu took a deep breath, reached out and swept her hair from her temples, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this news? Is it likely to be accurate?"

"Empress Mother, please read this letter!" Liu Ruoyu wiped her face haphazardly, and busily took out the letterhead from her sleeve and handed it over, explaining the origin, "It is from someone who entrusted Juzhong to bring it to my daughter-in-law when he returned to the palace this morning."

"How can a mere letterhead be a letter? Who is this person?" The letter is very short, not a word of nonsense, Queen Gu only a sweep, read the whole, black and white "Miss Wei seven suspected pregnant, very afraid, the day before yesterday in the spring grass lake to kill themselves, fortunately for the Song family Mrs. Min saved," so that the Empress of Gu wanted to vomit blood! Just the queen in fact experienced the wind and waves, is still calmly asked.

Liu Ruoyu choked: "Mother you do not know, this letter is who sent, the subject daughter-in-law now do not know, but this person asked for a thousand taels of silver, the subject daughter-in-law thought that the other party should be in order to ask for money to come ...... but this thing is certainly true! Because on that day ...... that day, my daughter-in-law was led by Xu Ruzi to the back door of a quiet courtyard outside the palace, and I saw Wei Changjuan and His Highness the Crown Prince together with my own eyes. ...... Originally, my daughter-in-law still wanted to help His Highness the Crown Prince conceal the past, but now... ..."

"Why are you so confused!" Empress Gu hated to give her a slap! If it wasn't for the fact that the Crown Princess first ran over to her in tears, and because the Crown Prince had fallen, and as the Crown Princess, she wasn't much better off, Empress Gu really would have suspected that she had done it on purpose, "Why didn't you tell this palace in time for such a big event!"

Liu Ruoyu with tears, lowered her head, rubbing the corner of her coat, whispered: "Because at that time it was outside the wall to see the silhouette of the upstairs from a distance, the subject daughter-in-law, although she recognized Wei Changjuan, but also could not see her look, and did not know that she was not willing. His Highness the crown prince ...... His Highness was also born handsome, my daughter-in-law thought that ...... my daughter-in-law was afraid that His Highness the crown prince would misunderstand my daughter-in-law's jealousy."

Crown Prince Shen Xun's behavior is best known to Empress Gu, this stupid son of the love of adultery when even his own mother dared to contradict, let alone the Crown Princess? Liu Ruoyu even for his good, but Shen Xun will not think so - the Empress is also heard of the reason why the Prince Consort is sick twice a day, privately very much beaten by the Prince of the news, although she knocked Shen Xun, so that he will not be too harsh on the Prince Consort, but Shen Xun if it is a willing to listen to the son of advice, she is the mother of the Queen's not to be so worried about it! ......

Besides now things have come to the present here, and then scolded the crown princess will not help, Empress Gu bit her lip, said, "Xu Ruzi ...... how did she know about this matter?!"

Liu Ruoyu panicked and said: ''The minister daughter-in-law also do not know! But my daughter-in-law just saw this letter after feeling ...... have sent people to her and her envoys are ...... mother mother, my daughter-in-law is really very afraid! Please mother queen save the crown prince!"

Empress Gu heard that Xu Ruizi has been silenced, looked deeply at her, only the Empress now can not tell, Liu Ruoyu in the end for their own words at the moment silenced, or for the Crown Prince silenced?

After a moment's pause, the Empress closed her eyes and said, "You tell the Crown Prince and Wei Changjuan ...... in detail! Don't tell this palace that after you hid this matter for the Crown Prince that day, you didn't even have the curiosity to send someone to check what happened!"
