Chapter 1462 Rumors
"Did you remember something?" Princess Jiang Xia asked.
Concubine Li laughed dryly and said, "You misunderstood. I don't know anything. I am just a concubine of a low-class background."
It’s about the emperor, how dare she speak casually? Is this scaring so much that it will be scared to death?
"When she was the concubine, you were the concubine, would you let her go to Shangqing Temple without taking any harm? She must have bribed the nun to monitor her. Tell me, what did you hear at the beginning, you can go back after you say it, and this matter has nothing to do with you." Princess Jiang Xia said calmly.
When it comes to age, Princess Jiangxia is more than ten years younger than Concubine Li, but due to the differences in identity, Concubine Li is not enough to look at her.
Princess Jiangxia was born in Duke Tan's mansion and was a noble daughter of a noble family. After marrying into the palace, she became a princess. She had a very high rank. How could Concubine Li dare to resist her?
Especially now that the Xuan Palace is ruined and unreasonable, it is just a matter of relying on its reputation to survive.
So after hesitating for a while, Concubine Li confessed.
Princess Jiangxia did not make things difficult for her to get the news she wanted, so she asked someone to send her back.
As soon as Concubine Li left, Prince Jiangxia came from the next wing room.
"Prince, are you sure now?" said Princess Jiang Xia.
Prince Jiangxia nodded. How uncertainty was made has been confirmed by many parties, and these people would never dare to deceive him.
"I really didn't expect that she was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, in order to completely get rid of the titles of Prime Minister's Mansion and Princess Qin, she also cut off her tail and actually gave herself a reputation as a widow!" Prince Jiang Xia sneered.
"No wonder he was able to get to this point with a bad hand. He was really not an ordinary person." Princess Jiang Xia said.
As both women, Princess Jiangxia could almost imagine how desperate it was in that situation back then, but this imperial concubine was able to fight a beautiful turnaround.
And I have to say that I am also decisive, and I just say that I am a widow.
Although some people have criticized her for her bad background over the years, she is no longer surprised.
But under the name of this widow, there is still such a huge secret, which is really amazing!
"What is the prince planning to do?" Princess Jiang Xia said with a frown.
If this matter is revealed, the reputation of the imperial concubine will inevitably be greatly reduced, but if there is any substantial harm, it will not happen.
The reason is very simple, because King Xuan is gone, and if the imperial concubine is stinging to death, who can still say that she is the eldest lady of the Chu family?
Over the years, she has always gained a foothold as a lady from the Yonglehou Mansion.
"I have reason to suspect that the person who sent you a letter is from the Chu Mansion." Prince Jiangxia said slowly.
Princess Jiangxia nodded: "I also have such doubts. Now that the Chu Mansion is declining, if we can recognize the imperial concubine, the Chu Mansion will be the mother clan of the imperial concubine and the ninth prince's foreign family. The benefits to the Chu Mansion are self-evident."
"So you have to go to work with someone from the Chu Mansion. Princess, if you have time, please make an appointment with the old lady Chu. The chances of others are not high, and she is the most likely." Prince Jiang Xia said.
In order to investigate what happened back then, he looked through the inside and out of the Chu mansion, and of course he knew Mrs. Chu.
Princess Jiang Xia did not intend to meet her in person, and said, "It's not appropriate for me to see her. It's almost time to send someone to see her. As for how to do it, it depends on her. If her daughter can return to Beijing and her son's future is bright, she will cooperate well."
Prince Jiangxia nodded: "Just as you said."
Old Mrs. Chu received the notice soon. She originally thought that after notifying Prince Jiangxia's mansion, she would not need the rest, and they would definitely make a fuss all over the city.
By then, her goal will be achieved, and she will not need to worry about other things, but she doesn't expect that she will continue to work hard.
How should she do her work? If she does it too clearly, the imperial concubine in the palace will be angry, and it will be more than worth the effort.
So Mrs. Chu simply pretended to be dead.
But Prince Jiangxia did not allow her to pretend to be dead. The day after she ordered someone to set up a banquet, rumors immediately came out.
"You don't know. Just yesterday when Mrs. Chu went to the party, she drank too much honey and leaked a huge news!"
"Yes, I heard it with my own ears and everyone was stunned!"
"I thought she was drunk and talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"I never expected that the Imperial Concubine was not from the Yongle Marquis' Mansion, but it turned out to be the Prince Qin who married the Prince's Mansion!"
"You all knew it back then, that was the one who was sent out the door the next day of the wedding and was watching jokes in the whole capital!"
"My God, is the Imperial Concubine really like this?"
"I'm so scary. To put it this way, wasn't the imperial concubine the emperor's niece-in-law at the beginning?"
"Cut your mouth quickly!"
“…”
Such words spread. Because it was related to the secrets of the imperial concubine and the emperor, the news was so explosive that it almost spread as a prairie fire.
When the news came into the palace and reached Qin Heng's ears, it made Qin Heng furious.
"A bastard, who is spreading rumors outside!" Qin Henglongyan said furiously.
Manager Feng hadn't seen Master Wansui so angry for many years. He couldn't help but shook, and then pulled Mrs. Chu out without saying a word and said, "It was Mrs. Chu who got drunk at the banquet yesterday, so he told the story of going to the palace to worship, and also revealed that the Imperial Concubine was her stepdaughter."
He couldn't help but murmur for the Chu Mansion for a few breaths, but it passed by in a flash. He didn't have time to care about the Chu Mansion, a self-destructive person.
When I looked up, I saw the gloomy face of Master Wansui.
Qin Heng didn't say anything, but got up and came to Weiyang Palace.
Chu Yue had just heard of it, and she heard it from her daughter, who was blinking at her.
"Your father is here, hurry up and go." Chu Yue looked up and saw Qin Heng. He knew that he must have heard of this.
"Then my daughter surrendered first." Qin Weiyang saw the gift and gave her father a gift, so he slipped away.
"The emperor sat down and drank a glass of iced sour plum soup. On this hot day, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead." Chu Yue poured him sour plum soup and said.
"Did you hear it?" Qin Heng asked after drinking sour plum soup and felt much more comfortable.
"The emperor doesn't have to take the sesame and mung beans to heart. I can handle this matter." Chu Yue also said.
