Chapter 270 How did the consort die?
After staying in the Princess's mansion for most of the day, Nanny Qi personally escorted Pei Shaorong and Xu Muhua out. She
also handed over a lot of gifts, which made the two of them almost unable to hold them with their hands, and hurriedly asked the maid to take over to avoid embarrassment.
This scene fell into the eyes of many people, and everyone couldn't help but doubt the things that came out at the flower viewing banquet.
It was said that the mother and daughter of the Chengguo Mansion offended the Princess and were driven away, so they left early. If this is true, how could the people in the Princess's mansion have such an attitude?
The nanny who was dressed very decently seemed to be the capable nanny beside the Princess, and was the most trusted by the Princess. Letting her come out in person to escort the two girls is enough to reflect the Princess's attitude.
What, you said Miss Xu took advantage of Miss Pei's blessing? How is it possible? Didn’t you see that the nanny held Miss Xu’s hand in the end, with such a warm and kind expression on her face?
So it wasn’t that the mother and daughter of Duke Cheng’s Mansion offended the eldest princess. On the contrary, the eldest princess seemed to like Miss Xu very much!
Could the other rumor be true?
The eldest princess wanted to match Miss Xu with her nephew?
People who were originally skeptical became very convinced after seeing the scene at the corner gate of the eldest princess’s mansion today!
The person involved, Xu Muhua, had no idea that this false rumor was getting more and more outrageous!
She got in the carriage and prepared to go back home.
"Wu'er, did you know that the eldest princess was pregnant before?"
Wu'er paused and nodded, "Of course I know!"
The eldest princess still lived in the capital at that time, so she must have known about such a big thing.
However, few people mentioned it after that incident. After all, no one wanted to offend the princess and the royal family. In addition, it happened so many years ago, so there was no need to mention it.
"Then why didn't you mention it last time?"
Wu'er looked at her innocently: "Miss, you didn't ask either! And Miss, this matter... why are you asking about it?"
She thought that it would be bad for Miss, a little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage, to hear these things, so she deliberately skipped that matter.
Who knew that Miss would ask about it herself today.
Did she hear something in the Princess's Mansion? It shouldn't be like that. No one in the Princess's Mansion should dare to mention this matter again.
"I'm just curious. Because I heard before that the princess and her husband had no children, I thought that the princess died before she got pregnant and her husband died."
Speaking of this, Xu Muhua suddenly remembered something, something she had seriously overlooked before!
"How did the prince consort pass away?"
she asked in a low voice.
Wu'er looked a little strange, hesitant to speak, and finally advised: "Miss, you'd better not ask about this."
Huh?
Even Wu'er didn't dare to mention it, could there be some unspeakable hidden story or unspeakable secret about the death of the prince consort?
Since she asked, Xu Muhua would not give up if she couldn't get a result!
You know, if curiosity is not satisfied, it will be very annoying!
"Okay Wu'er, just tell me! We are all family, is there anything we can't say? Don't you still believe your lady, and worry that your lady will sing it out after hearing it? Am I such a person? Absolutely not!"
Xu Muhua didn't look like a master at all. She held Wu'er's hand and said, shaking it, acting coquettishly without any pressure.
Wu'er was just a maid, how could she stand her master being so coquettish to her? She didn't hold on for long before she gave in.
"Miss, Miss, please stop shaking me. If you continue to shake me, I will fall apart!"
"Then you should tell me quickly!"
Wu'er pursed her lips, her expression serious: "Miss, I can tell you, but remember not to mention this to anyone after hearing it."
This is a taboo in the Princess's Mansion and even in the royal family! If someone hears it and reports it to the Princess, even if the Princess likes the Miss now, she will definitely be angry.
"Don't worry, your Miss is very sensible!"
Sense?
Wu'er looked at her with suspicion.
Xu Muhua smiled obediently.
"In fact, the prince consort was in good health, at least he appeared healthy in front of outsiders, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. But for some reason that year, the prince consort suddenly fell ill, and he was bedridden! He died not long after!"
"Ah, what disease did the prince consort have?"
Why did it sound like some kind of emergency?
Wu'er shook her head, "I don't know. Except for the people from Ling's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion, and the imperial physician who treated the prince consort, there shouldn't be many other people who know the inside story. Ling's Mansion concealed the matter very well, and with the Princess's identity, no one dared to inquire about the news."
"Did the old people in the palace tell you all this?"
Wu'er nodded.
Xu Muhua was silent for a moment.
In this case, it was unclear how much of what Wu'er said was true, and how much was false.
Maybe it's all fake!
Wu'er saw that she didn't continue to ask, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that the young lady would keep asking about the prince consort. It was not right to say no, and it was not right not to say anything. What if the young lady knew too much and revealed her secrets to the princess next time?
Xu Muhua thought it would be better to ask her own little intelligence agent to get the news, which would be more accurate. Maybe she could dig out some secrets!
This time she thought it would be most appropriate to send Daban and Xiaoban!
The two brothers are birds living in the palace. They have seen the world, and going to the princess's mansion is no big deal!
Sure enough, when Daban and Xiaoban heard that she wanted them to go to the Princess's Mansion and Ling's Mansion to find out about the things that happened between the Prince Consort and the Princess, the two birds immediately agreed by flapping their wings on their chests, and promised to help her find out the most satisfactory results!
With these two brothers, Xu Muhua was very relieved!
After sending the two brothers, she waited for news in the mansion with peace of mind!
I don't know if it was because the incident happened too long ago, but this time it took the two brothers some time to find out the news, and they came back a day later!
When she came back, Xu Muhua was practicing calligraphy with a brush in front of the window. Although she inherited the original owner's memory and some of his skills, she felt that some things should be practiced by herself, so as not to be exposed one day.
"Quick, quick, bring me something to eat, I'm starving!"
Xiaoban landed on the windowsill like a sudden brake and sat on the table. Xu Muhua didn't understand how a hydrangea could sit down, but it sat down, and it looked quite decent.
Daban followed closely behind, better than Xiaoban. After all, Daban has always been a bird that pays attention to its image.
But Big Spot also said: "Yes, hurry up and give us something to eat, we are starving!"
