Although the emperor asked the question calmly, it brought great pressure to Daiyu.
But before she could answer, she just heard Yang Jingting reply: "Your Majesty, the princess may have gone out for something!"
Daiyu glanced at Yang Jingting beside her, her eyes wide. He wanted to spit out fire, secretly thinking that this woman was either stupid or bad.
The next moment, I heard Chen Zhi say in a strange tone: "What can be done right now? Could it be more important than taking care of my mother?"
"Even if Prince Xiang's Mansion is on fire, she will You should stay in Kunning Palace and fulfill your filial piety!"
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, Yuan Chun said again: "Sister Ting, why did Baochai leave?"
Actually, Daiyu wanted to Wrong, Yang Jingting just said it casually, instead of deliberately giving people an excuse.
At this moment, she also realized that this was not a simple question, but someone wanted to attack Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Now that she has given birth to a child, she is even more tightly bound to Prince Xiang’s Mansion. She is one in life and death, honor and disgrace, and she still has a pattern of protecting the Prince’s Mansion externally.
The problem is that in this situation, she doesn't know how to respond.
Yang Jingting was extremely anxious and sweat broke out on her forehead. She was very scared at this moment.
If Prince Xiang’s Mansion suffers a big loss because of her, she won’t know how to face her man when Zhu Jinghong comes back to the manor in a few days.
Just when Yang Jingting was feeling like she was on fire, Daiyu's voice sounded from her body.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the princess left the palace to get something!"
This sentence sounded like music to Yang Jingting, but to Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi'er, , but I feel particularly uncomfortable.
Both Yuanchun and Chen Zhi knew that Daiyu was extremely intelligent, so they were each thinking about how to respond.
"Get something? What to take?" Zhu Xianming frowned.
Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi also wanted to know, so they were ready to find fault no matter what Daiyu said.
Having thought of a countermeasure, Daiyu was obviously no longer so panicked, and she replied respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, because I saw that the Queen often worried about His Highness Prince Xiang in her sleep, the Princess is really Sentimental"
"The princess suddenly thought that she had painted a portrait of His Highness, and the portrait in the painting was so lifelike that it was almost real."
"In order to understand the queen's longing, the princess specially left the palace to return home. I want to find this painting from the palace and bring it to the palace to present it to the empress!"
This reason is so impeccable that Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi, who were ready to attack, could not say a word.
But both of them were sure that Baochai was definitely not painting for the reason he returned home.
But neither of them dared to reveal those shameful deeds, because the time and place were not right.
At this time, Zhu Xianming sighed: "It's rare that she has such a heart!"
His words settled the matter, and Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi did not dare to attack again. .
Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Her work was not over yet. She still wanted Dong Fang to go back and deliver the message., lest things go wrong again.
As for the paintings she mentioned, there are indeed several in the palace. They were all painted by Baochai during Zhu Jinghong's several expeditions, among which Daiyu also contributed two.
The things here are over, and as for Baochai, she has returned to the palace by car.
As soon as she entered the inner chamber, Xia Jingui appeared, knelt in front of her and saluted.
It is now very cold in the first month of the year. Seeing Xia Jingui kneeling on the ground while pregnant, Baochai said: "Get up and answer!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
We can wait for Xia Jingui After getting up, Baochai had already walked into the hall, so she followed him immediately.
Enter the hall and enter the study. This is Xia Jingui's first time here.
"Sit down!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
Sitting behind the desk, looking at Xia Jingui who was carefully seated, Baochai asked: " Tell me what's going on!"
Looking around and confirming that there were only two girls, Ying'er and Wenxing, Xia Jin Guifang said: "Princess, someone is planning to frame the palace and murder His Highness!" p>Xia Jingui originally thought that after he said these words, the princess in front of him would be shocked, or at least nervous.
But at this moment, Baochai sat quietly, just waiting for her to continue.
After being a princess for many years and experiencing so many storms, she has long been indifferent to emotions and anger, and she understands that she must be calm at all times in order to make correct judgments.
"My wife's family once offended some people in the army because of her bad temper. Among them was Guo Xing, the general of the Beijing camp!"
"This person had already been He died, but he came back in the past two days, and he also interacted with Meng Kuan, the censor of the city. As far as the wife knew, the man named Meng was a disciple of Prince Rui's Mansion."
"They colluded together. In order to frame my husband, and then use this to throw dirt on our palace!" After listening to Xia Jingui's explanation for a long time, Baochai finally asked: "How did they frame me?"
< p>"In the twelfth year of Zhengtong, this Guo Xing went out with the imperial army and served as the commander of the bodyguard of the late governor Ning Huanxiang!""Later, Ning Huanxiang was attacked and killed, and this Guo Xing also disappeared without a trace, and the imperial court After ordering people to investigate, Guo Xing was found guilty of ineffective guarding!"
"Unexpectedly, two days ago, Guo Xing returned to Beijing and got involved with Yushi Meng, intending to take Ning Huanxiang away! The attack was framed on our master!"
After hearing this, Baochai was still not in a hurry. After thinking for a while, he asked: "If they want to frame it, then it must be the case! Conspiracy, if it is a conspiracy, why do you know the inside story?"
This question confused Xia Jingui, she had not considered this before.
"Huh?"
"My wife came in a hurry before I could ask about the details clearly!"
Before Baochai could ask, , Xia Jingui continued: "My husband is waiting outside the house, I will go and ask for clarification now!"
"Go ahead!" Baochai's tone remained calm..
After Xia Jingui left, Baochai thought carefully about the situation he had just learned.
She always felt that this matter was not simple, but no matter what the intrigue was, it was basically certain that Prince Rui's Mansion would make an issue out of Ning Huanxiang's death.
According to what Xia Jingui said, the other party wanted to put the blame for Ning Huanxiang's death on Sun Shaozu and then throw dirty water on Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Ning Huanxiang was the governor of the Dudu Mansion at that time, and he could be said to have the most seniority among senior generals. The Ning family was also very influential in the circle of nobles.
If such a person is killed, it is simply a huge case. The person behind the scenes must be the enemy of all nobles.
What's terrible is that Sun Shaozu is a confidant of Prince Xiang's Palace. If such a person is involved in this matter, Prince Xiang's Palace will not even be able to cut it.
What’s even more terrible is that Zhu Jinghong took over the military power after Ning Huanxiang’s death and achieved great military exploits. In a sense, he benefited from it, so he had the motive to instruct Sun Shaozu to harm others.
Thinking of this, Baochai felt a chill on her back.
Prince Xiang’s Mansion can look at any other form of slander indifferently, but must be extremely cautious about things that can make the honorable nobles leave.
After thinking again, Baochai muttered in a low voice: "The tree in Prince Xiang's Mansion has big roots and deep roots. Even if it is proven that Sun Shaozu did this, they can't bring us down!"
< p>Although it can't win over Prince Xiang's Mansion, it will always make some nobles and nobles react, and even make some people alienate. In this way, Prince Rui and the Crown Prince will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, which is definitely not a good thing for Prince Xiang's Mansion."You have to put out the fire in advance!" Baochai said slowly.
The simplest way is to kill Guo Xing, and if necessary, Meng Kuan, the censor of the city patrol, can also be eliminated.
Going to the window and looking at the snow on the eaves, Baochai stretched out her cuffs and felt the chill in the wind.
"Call Deng An!"
"Yes!"
After a while, Deng An ran into the hall and knelt down behind Baochai very consciously. .
"I have come to see you, my Majesty. May I ask your Majesty what you have ordered me to do?"
Holding a small porcelain cup, Baochai said while feeding the kingfisher in the cage. : "Someone wants to harm the palace!"
"Who is so bold?"
"There was a former Beijing camp general Guo Xing who was the late governor Ning Huanxiang's Guard commander, he has now fled back to Beijing to frame Ning Huanxiang’s death on Sun Shaozu!”
“Huh?”
There is too much information in this, Deng An was a little shocked for a moment.
Baochai did not rush and gave Deng An time to think deeply.
After a while, I heard Deng An reply: "Madam, this matter is of great importance, so we must deal with it carefully!"
"What do you think about getting rid of Guo Xing?" "Like this?"
"That's okay, but I'm afraid it will cause more trouble!" Deng An reminded.
Baochai calmly replied: "As long as this person is dead, Prince Rui's Mansion will not be able to launch an attack. At this juncture, they will retreat in the face of difficulty!"
The Queen is critically ill. In the absence of strong and intuitive evidence, attacking Prince Xiang's Mansion is asking for trouble. Baochai is very sure of this.
As long as Zhu Jingyuan doesn't act stupid, he will stop at this time.
Deng An thought about it and realized that this was the truth. It was up to him to figure out the next thing.
Turn around, Baochai put down the porcelain cup in his hand and said, "Go handle this matter and make it clean!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements when I get down!" "
Baochai then ordered: "Prince Rui's Mansion may intervene in this matter. You must be fully prepared and act quickly. It must be done today!"
"Yes! !"
"Go for it!"
"Yes!"
Deng An turned around and left, thinking about this while walking. Who should be sent on errands?
After Deng An left the palace, Xia Jingui had finished asking about the situation and returned to Tongxin Hall again.
At this time, Baochai sat back on the chair again, looking at Xia Jingui in front of him with a calm expression.
"Don't worry about those false etiquettes and get down to business. How did your husband find out about this?"
"My husband said that he and Guo Xing have never been on good terms. "I had an old grudge in the northwest a few years ago. When I learned that he had returned to Beijing, I went to visit him to resolve the grudge."
"Unexpectedly, Guo Xing was narrow-minded and had a conflict with my husband on the spot. In a hurry, he even She told her the plan and said that this time the Sun family will be destroyed!"
Sun Shaozu still didn't tell the truth to Xia Jingui, so at this moment she was telling it as the truth, so that it seemed very sincere.
However, there were more and bigger loopholes in these words, and Baochai felt even more strange after hearing this.
So she guessed that Sun Shaozu did not tell the truth or tell the truth to his master, which made her very angry.
After thinking a little more, Baochai discovered something strange. Sun Shaozu seemed to have a prophecy on this matter.
Does Sun Shaozu have the ability to predict the future? Baochai directly rejected this possibility.
So when she thought about it carefully, she came up with a bold guess, could Sun Shaozu really do this?
Just now she thought that Zhu Jinghong benefited greatly from this matter, but didn't Sun Shaozu really rise to prominence through the Battle of the Northwest before he really caught up with Prince Xiang's Mansion?
How can such a person be reused? How can we keep him? Baochai thought to herself, but her face remained calm.
It is not easy to touch someone like Sun Shaozu. Zhu Jinghong must nod to do it, so this matter is not urgent for Baochai.
Although Baochai's eyes were always calm, Xia Jingui still felt a little weak when she looked at him so quietly.
After a while, Baochai said slowly: "I will handle this matter. You can go back home in peace and don't pay any more attention to it!"
p>Xia Jingui hurriedly stepped back, then kowtowed and said, "Thank you, empress!"
"Go back, I have to go to the palace!"
"Yes. Retreat!"
As soon as Xia Jingui left the hall, Baochai immediately sent an order: "Send someone to take a look. If Deng An is still in the house, ask him to come see me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Deng An was giving instructions to his subordinates. Before he could finish speaking, he was summoned by the princess, so he returned to Tongxin Hall.
After saluting, Deng An said: "Please give me your orders!"
"Go in person this time. Before Guo Xing died, ask him why he framed Sun Shaozu!"
< p>Is this necessary? Deng An had this idea, but he immediately nodded in agreement.There is no way, he has to go there in person today. It is really not easy to endure such a cold day.
After Deng An left again, Ying'er came to report that the medicinal materials were ready, so she planned to leave for the palace.
But as soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she saw Dong Fangji rushing over. After bowing, she reported what happened to Kunning Palace.
After listening, Baochai asked people to find the paintings, and at the same time he was glad that Daiyu was in the palace, otherwise it would have been a big trouble today.
Soon the painting was found, and Baochai set off for the palace.
On the other side, Deng An himself gathered the manpower, and after dressing up, he sneaked away to Guo's house.
These men are the guards recruited by the palace. They are all highly skilled in martial arts. Their daily errand is to accompany Zhu Jinghong to practice martial arts.
These people are treated extremely well and their families are well accommodated, so they are the most loyal to the palace. In a sense, they can be called dead soldiers.
That is to say, this time the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so Deng An will use these people. In the past, he would either find Li Wenzhao or Chen Yuntai.
The dozen or so people in this group found out where the Guo family lived and found it. After an hour, they were distributed outside the Guo family.
After inquiring about the situation, Deng An felt a lot more relieved when he saw that there were only a few guards, but he still left people on guard.
After calling in a few warriors and discussing the plan, Deng An gave the order to take action.
Because of deliberate calculations but not care, the few guards guarding the outside were dispatched almost silently and then dragged into the alley.
Then, seven or eight men climbed over the wall and sneaked into Guo's house.
The Guo family has declined, so he only entered the courtyard three times. At this moment, he is in the small study in the inner courtyard, writing the complaint for this appeal.
A gust of wind blew by, and he woke up from his deep thoughts. He picked up the tea cup and was about to take a sip, when he suddenly found that the cup was empty.
"Here, bring some tea!" Guo Xing shouted.
Because of his previous accident, the Guo family's life has become even more difficult. There are only four servants in the inner courtyard. Since everyone has their own work to do, no one is always around them.
Seeing no one answered, Guo Xing stood up and walked around the desk, trying to walk to the door to call someone.At the same time, I thought that when this matter was over, I would buy a few more girls.
But just as he walked past the desk, he saw two people coming in from the door. They were both dressed in ordinary people's shorts and even had straw sandals on their feet.
How dare these mud-legged people be so bold, bypassing official officials and breaking into my house?
At this time, Guo Xing was very angry. His contempt for the people at the bottom of his heart prevented him from realizing the seriousness of the problem.
At this moment, a sharp and sinister voice came from outside the door: "General Guo, you're fine!"
