Chapter 182 It’s Not Difficult to Check
Xie Changning didn't believe what Wu said at first.
Because this is ridiculous.
But she mentioned the Duke's Mansion.
Ladies of noble birth had to attend banquets in the palace every year, and more than once.
The only people who could lay hands on her in the palace, besides Concubine Yun, was His Majesty...
The queen passed away when the prince was only two or three years old. However, Concubine Yun's favor continued to grow. Apart from being the queen in name only, she had long been the true master of the harem.
Therefore, she was more inclined to believe that it was Concubine Yun who did it.
But is there anything that can escape the eyes and ears of Your Majesty?
I'm afraid it was His Majesty's tacit approval...
This was not only aimed at her, but also at the Duke's Mansion.
Both of her brothers loved her very much. If she really got into such a scandal and someone used it to threaten her two brothers, she would probably do anything to protect them.
It turns out that Your Majesty had already started planning at that time.
What about the spies in the army this time?
Whose hand is it?
Is it the Fourth Prince, or their good Majesty?
She was really horrified when she thought about it.
In the previous life, after the eldest brother died in the battlefield, His Majesty quickly convicted him, saying that it was because of his improper command and missed opportunities that led to the defeat.
After the eldest brother died, the deputy general Jiang Su successfully replaced the eldest brother and defeated the Western Rong in just ten days.
He is the person that the eldest brother trusts the most. Moreover, after the eldest brother's death, he took good care of Xingyun. It can be said that he supported Xingyun all the way.
So they never suspected him of anything.
Now that I think about it, he might be your Majesty's man.
That spy must have been his work.
In this life, although she changed the outcome of her elder brother's death on the battlefield, His Majesty will definitely take action against the Duke's Mansion again.
If we don’t take precautions in advance, I’m afraid the Duke’s Mansion will still be doomed to destruction.
"You can rest assured that I will not take action against Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou, because I also hope that they can live for a long time." She was not kind-hearted. Only by living can one experience all the sufferings of the world.
After saying this, Xie Changning turned and left.
Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Changning was still trustworthy. She said she would not take action against Zhiyan and Zhizhou, and would never go back on her word.
After Xie Changning left, a man walked out from the shadows not far away.
When her eyes fell on him, Wu couldn't help but shudder. It was Pei Zhi. Why was he here?
He was dressed in a crimson official uniform, and his eyes were cold and calm, like a bottomless pool of water, emitting a faint glow that made people shudder.
Pei Zhi didn't even glance at Wu and walked straight past her.
He put one hand behind his back and took steady steps. No one knew the anger in his heart, and no one knew the shock in his heart. Only his whitened fingers slightly revealed the hidden emotions in his heart.
On the way to the Duke's Mansion, Xie Changning thought a lot.
No wonder the prince was defeated so miserably in his previous life.
Because from the beginning to the end, he was just a shield put forward by His Majesty.
The one Your Majesty really likes is the Fourth Prince.
As long as the Crown Prince is around, no matter how favored the Fourth Prince is, the other princes and the people behind them will only target the Crown Prince first.
It won't be long before Concubine Yun will be reinstated.
Your Majesty is just warning her this time. There is a deeper reason. The Crown Prince is still alive, and Your Majesty is doing this to protect the Fourth Prince.
Even the previous deliberate neglect was to protect the Fourth Prince.
I have to say that Your Majesty's vision is truly vicious.
The Fourth Prince is very much like Your Majesty, both in character and in behavior.
This means that before His Majesty dies, he will still clear all obstacles for the Fourth Prince.
The first one is the Duke’s Mansion.
She originally thought that if her elder brother won the battle, the Duke's Mansion would escape the disaster, but now it seems that is not the case.
Mother Du was thinking about something else. "Madam, do you think what Mrs. Wu said is true?"
Was Madam really being plotted against in the palace?
Who is the father of these children?
It would be great if we could find the eldest young master and the fourth young lady.
Perhaps you can get a glimpse of it through their appearance.
There were strict regulations on what ladies of honor could wear and how many servants they could bring when they entered the palace to attend banquets.
The lady has always been low-key. When she goes to the palace for a banquet, she either brings her or Mother Tao and two maids.
There are guards checking every time.
As for Xie Lin and the others, they must not be brought into the palace.
What do you want to do by bringing the shadow guard into the palace?
Assassinate His Majesty?
Who can bear this crime?
It is impossible to guard against the dirty tricks in the palace.
In fact, Mother Du already had the answer in her heart.
Xie Changning did not answer her question. There are only three types of men who can enter the palace: His Majesty, the palace guards, or the civil and military officials.
Concubine Yun would not bring a strange man into the palace just to plot against her. The risk is too great. If he is caught, she will be the one who cannot explain herself.
Your Majesty, don't do anything to her.
So she guessed that it was either the palace guards or the civil officials.
What is certain is that no matter who this person is, he or she definitely does not get along with Concubine Yun.
Not many people dare to go against Concubine Yun and the Fourth Prince.
This person is not difficult to find...
