Chapter 66: Revealing the Secret

"What are you talking about!" The lady looked at the prime minister with her eyes sideways, and her voice unconsciously rose.

The prime minister frowned, and also looked at the lady, and said in a deep voice: "I am talking to Concubine Shugui, don't interrupt."

Concubine Shugui looked at this usual way of getting along, and her heart was inevitably choked.

The family and the biased father that she once thought she had escaped from have now become a cage that trapped her. When they reappeared, they could still drag her into the abyss, and she could not escape or hide.

[My grandfather was clearly a good person, how did he become like this? ]

The prime minister in the story is a good man who cares about his wife and children. Even though he was wronged by Emperor Qingling and his family was tragically destroyed, all he thought about was Concubine Shugui and his granddaughter whom he had never met.

Is this really the character of the prime minister?

He favors concubines over wives, and he confuses legitimate and illegitimate children, and even hopes that the legitimate daughter in the palace will help a concubine's daughter?

Shuguifei was called back by Ying'an's inner voice.

Things that were unattainable in youth will eventually pass away. What she

once longed for is no longer important now.

From now on, she will only live for herself and Ying'an.

"Father, my concubine sister is not good-looking, and she doesn't have the talent to survive in the palace. She can't survive in the palace."

The prime minister was stunned when he heard this.

Why does he feel that Yao He seems to have changed a lot in these years since she entered the palace?

Yao He always agreed when he proposed this before, because in her heart, nothing is more important than the honor and disgrace of the family.

Although she is upset, she will still agree for the sake of the overall situation.

How come now...

Not only him, but even his wife looked at her daughter in confusion. Although she was surprised by her daughter's change, the admiration in her eyes was almost overflowing.

The Prime Minister lowered his eyes, coughed dryly and said, "Yes, you have been the legitimate daughter of the family since you were a child. Your concubine's sister can't get all the resources of the family like you can. She has always envied you and always complained to me that the resources that leaked from your fingers are enough for her to walk around in the capital. She is pitiful. Now our family is not well-known in the capital, and she has reached the age to discuss marriage. Aunt Lian said that although Yaoxiang has no talent, she is still a good person. , but with you as the legitimate sister of the imperial concubine, she can also get along well in the palace. I hope you can help her. She said she will treat your mother well at home in the future. "

Shu Guifei took the teacup at hand and brought it to her lips, swallowed it carelessly, and said lightly: "Father, if you look at all the important people in the capital, there is no reason for the mistress to treat a concubine well. Where does she get the face?"

The prime minister frowned.

The lady wiped her tears.

The daughter has grown up and knows to feel sorry for her mother.

The prime minister

said in a calm voice: "Shu Guifei, you are now a concubine, and I cannot say anything to you, but since ancient times, filial piety has been the most important virtue. Is this your attitude when talking to your father?" Shu Guifei put down the teacup heavily, and said in a cold and frightening voice: "The prime minister also knows that I am a concubine, and it is difficult for you to open your mouth. In this way, I can help the prime minister find a good marriage for my concubine sister in the capital, but she can't enter the palace!"

At home, the concubine sister has been competing with her openly and secretly.

One year, she even tried every means to enter the palace to meet the emperor by chance. If the emperor had not been pleased with her at the time and was full of her heart and eyes, he would not have noticed the concubine sister who tried her best to show off her flirtation. I am afraid that the concubine sister is also responsible for framing her in the palace now.

Once, she had to endure for the sake of her family.

But now, she has Ying'an.

With her concubine sister's ruthlessness, she really dared not think about what Ying'an would suffer if she entered the palace. She

was afraid that she would rely on her title of noble concubine to secretly collude with many people with ill intentions, and do everything possible to take her and Ying'an's lives!

She is not stupid enough to hurt Ying'an for unworthy people and unworthy things!

Anyone who tries to hurt Ying'an deserves to die!

The prime minister was obviously unhappy.

"Don't say the capital, just ask the whole world, who can be more noble than the emperor! I think you are the clan who forgot to put you on the altar after you ascended to heaven!"

His voice was very low.

Except for the family of four present, no one else could hear it.

After all, this is the imperial palace, and he is not stupid enough to seek his own death.

Concubine Shugui raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him sideways, and said softly: "Am I ungrateful, or is it that the Prime Minister can only share the hardships but not the happiness? When the family is in decline, you think about saving my life and the bloodline of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When the family is well, I am well too, and you think about Aunt Lian and my concubine sister, but have you ever thought about my mother and me? You praise Aunt Lian to the sky, but have you ever thought that she will give my mother a cold look, or that my mother will be laughed at by people in the capital? To put it bluntly, you only love yourself and the Zong Mansion. You don't even take Aunt Lian to heart. To you, she is a beautiful woman who adds icing on the cake, but father, now you are not the icing on the cake to me, but a drag on me. My daughter needs you, give me a reason to help you."

This series of words made the Prime Minister feel ashamed.

An old face, red as a doll in a New Year picture.

He frowned, side-glanced and looked directly at Concubine Shu Gui.

She looked at him with an unyielding look, which made him feel uneasy.

Concubine Shu Gui used to be submissive and always let herself be squeezed and flattened, but why is she so aggressive and clear-headed now?

He didn't say anything.

Concubine Shu Gui also lowered her eyes and said nothing.

It was the lady who broke the silence first.

"Concubine, we have been here for so long, it's time to go."

She held Ying'an in her arms and sang softly the lullaby that Concubine Shu Gui sang to her when she was a child.

This scene hurt Concubine Shu Gui's eyes.

The mother who used to coax her was now holding her daughter in her arms and singing a lullaby.

She looked up at the prime minister, and the disappointment in her eyes was too obvious.

"Go to the palace, in addition to asking me about my concubine sister's entry into the palace, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Father and daughter finally reunited, and his words were undoubtedly a stab in her heart.

The prime minister had a cold face and wanted to get up and leave, but this matter involved the prime minister's mansion, so he could only say what he had originally planned to keep silent about.

"There must be a connection between Foshan Temple and Prince Heng's Mansion, but it has not been revealed yet. I will send someone to tell you when I find some clues. But as far as I know, the emperor is also investigating this matter, and he has discovered that I am also investigating. If he blames the former dynasty and the harem for collusion, this matter will probably not end well."

In all dynasties, the former dynasty and the harem were independent. The emperor was suspicious and was most afraid of his bedmate usurping his throne.

There were many princes, and any one of them could be supported to take the throne and secure the position of the empress dowager.

This was a capital crime.

Concubine Shu Gui lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice: "I saved the emperor. Not only will he not blame me, he may even send someone to investigate the matter with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prince Heng has touched the emperor. It is Prince Heng's Mansion that should be worried, not the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The Prime Minister nodded: "That's good. It's good that the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be implicated. I will do anything to help you soar. Please don't forget your mother's family, Concubine Shu Gui."
