The Third Master and the Prince look five times alike, and you can tell at a glance that they are brothers, but these five times alike are also inherited from the old Prince.
The third old lady looked at her son with mixed feelings.
I wish my son looked like her.
But not everything on this earth went as she wished.
For example, she was the concubine of the old prince.
After so many years, I don't know when she can live a life that truly belongs to her.
She is already fifty years old. How many years can she live?
"Don't move for now. Now that we are back in the palace, we must be more careful than outside. Well, call the two children to have dinner together, and we will discuss it after dinner." The third old lady sighed deeply in her heart.
The third lady went to the door and asked the maid to call the two children.
The Third Old Lady usually doesn't allow anyone to serve her closely at all times.
So the maid who always served her stood outside the door, and the Third Old Lady would just call out if she needed anything.
In other words, when the master wants to speak in private, servants are absolutely not allowed to be present.
This has been the old rule for their three rooms for many years.
The servants all knew it and understood the rules.
The servants of the Third House were well trained and were all old people they were used to. The Third House never treated its servants lightly.
After dinner, the third old lady and the third master came to the inner room where the third old lady lived, and the third lady was sent back to her own yard.
It was just the two of them, mother and son.
When the mother and son discussed things, the Third Lady seldom participated, unless she was called upon to know something that she absolutely had to know.
After so many years, the third wife has long been accustomed to it.
There was one thing that the Third Lady was most satisfied with, and that was that her mother-in-law had never added anyone to her husband's room. For so many years, her husband had only had her as his woman.
"Mother, what do you think about my son marrying two wives?" The third master has been thinking about this matter for a long time, but he has no way to interfere in it. Since he is working outside, many things are beyond his reach.
"This matter is a bit troublesome. From what I know, the Nanhua County Lady is a bit unruly, but also quite strong. Chaoyang is no match for her.
And Chaoyang is the concubine of the emperor, so this matter is very tricky. The Princess of Nanhua County came for the concubine of the emperor. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to design Zishu to marry her. "
"But Chaoyang is pregnant now, what should we do? What if Nanhua wants to harm the baby in Chaoyang's belly?" The third master was very worried about this.
"The reason why County Lady Nanhua is so anxious to marry into the palace is that she is planning to harm the baby in Chaoyang's belly. Otherwise, why is she so anxious? Chaoyang is already seven months pregnant. If something unexpected happens, there is a high possibility of two deaths." The third old lady had already seen through County Lady Nanhua's purpose.
"Should we keep this child?" The third master was a little reluctant to give up the child.
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Let's just mind her own business. We shouldn't interfere. One of the two has to be the leader, otherwise the father's backyard will be unstable, which will not be conducive to his consolidating his position as the father."
I can only blame my son for not being careful enough, which brought me such a disaster. This incident will make him more careful and let him know how powerful I am. He will be more careful in the future. Let's just take it as a lesson for him.
Prince Mo married a good wife and taught his daughter well. The Princess of Nanhua County is much better than Yu Chaoyang, who was taught by the Yong'an Earl's Mansion."
The third old lady understood people's hearts very well. She saw through Yu Chaoyang from the first moment she saw her.
"Alas, my son is just a pity for the baby in her belly."
"I can't protect you. I can only blame her for not having any trouble. That's how the women in the backyard are. If they haven't had any trouble, they can't protect their children. If I hadn't had any trouble back then, you would have been killed by that old hag named Jiang."
When the Third Old Lady first entered the mansion, the Second Old Lady hated her to the core. How could she possibly let her give birth to a child smoothly?
But the third old lady is no pushover and has plenty of ways to deal with it.
She was able to dodge the tricks cleverly every time, and even let the old prince catch her in the act, and gave Jiang Qingqing a severe lesson several times before she behaved herself.
Otherwise, her position in this palace would not be so stable.
Moreover, her son was well taught by her and was many times better than Shangguan Hongchen, which made the old prince very pleased.
Her status in the mansion was not as high as Jiang Qingqing's in terms of status, but she was not inferior to her in terms of food and clothing, and she also had half of the housekeeper's power.
Thinking of Guo Xuan, she sighed.
"Mother, what should we do about Ziqi's matter? Now the only thing that hasn't healed is his leg. And we don't know whether his leg is really not healed or just pretending." The third master was also very upset about this matter.
How come he didn't fall to his death at that time? As a result, he left such a big hidden danger.
“Ah, this is all God’s will, our plan was so thorough, but he still woke up.
Jiang Qingqing is really something. She is so weak that she didn’t even kill the person even when she was given such a good chance.
She is still too timid.
Now that we are back, we have to do many things on our own.
As for the imperial physician Gu who was bribed by Concubine Shu, you should find a time to deal with him and don't leave any evidence behind.
The prince wants to play the long game, so we cut off his line.
As for Ziqi, we will find a few assassins from a distance to test him. If he is really disabled, we don't care. If he is fake disabled, then we have to advance our plan.
He is much better than Zishu. If he is not disabled, the prince will return the throne to him sooner or later."
The third old lady is decisive and decisive in her actions, and she arranges things in a clear and orderly manner.
"Yes, mother." The third master obeyed his mother's orders like a subordinate.
"Mother, what do you think about the princess' pregnancy?" The third master talked about what had just been heard from the main courtyard.
"She's almost 40 years old, and she thinks it's a good thing to get pregnant? She has to endure the hurdle of having a baby, and it's even a question whether she can survive.
Look at all the noble families in Kyoto, is there any family that has a woman who is still a virgin at such an old age?
Don't care.
Even if the baby is born successfully, we still don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. Even if it is a boy, it will take 20 years to raise him. After 20 years, who knows what the baby will look like?
When Nanhua County Lady came into the mansion, he used the excuse that she was pregnant to ask her to hand over the housekeeper's power to Nanhua County Lady."
"Mother is right." The third master thought it made sense and agreed very much.
The next morning, Chunlei quietly entered Qiyayuan.
When Shangguan Ziqi came up, Ziyue told him that the Spring Thunder Guard was waiting for him in the study.
After washing up, I went to the small study.
"Young Master, we had another harvest last night." Chun Lei's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, but also revealed a hint of sadness.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Shangguan Ziqi raised his eyebrows and waited for him to speak.
"Last night, I hid on the roof of the Third Old Lady's bedroom and listened to her mumbling in her sleep. Although the fragments were scattered, when pieced together, they pointed to a shocking secret."
Having said this, the excitement on his face gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented concentration.
"Speak." Shangguan Ziqi spoke concisely and powerfully, and every word carried a thousand pounds of weight.
"According to her mumbling in her dream, it seems to imply that the old princess's divorce was related to the second old lady." Chun Lei's voice was low and cautious. He had deduced this information himself.
"What did you say?" Shangguan Ziqi was so shocked that he almost wanted to stand up from his wheelchair.
"That's what I think." Chunlei emphasized again.
"What did she say?" Shangguan Ziqi punched the armrest of the wheelchair.
