Concerns about night tours are not unnecessary.
The drama between the real and fake princess at the Plum Garden banquet caused a huge reaction.
The only one who could be considered calm was the old Princess Ruyang.
It can be said that in the scene in the Plum Garden, Qing Wu took the initiative to seek help from the old princess from the very beginning.
When the personal nanny brought the soothing tea, the old princess waved her hand and said, "I can't sleep. Was your son frightened today?"
Chu Xiu was right beside him. He shook his head and then nodded: "It was my grandson's first time seeing such a bloody scene. I was indeed scared at first, but my brother Yu Yulang kept encouraging me, so I am not afraid anymore."
The old princess smiled and said, "You still need to gain more experience."
Chu Xiuye nodded. The eldest daughter-in-law of the first house, Chu Xiuye's mother, the Princess of Huaiyang County, could not help but say, "Xiuye should drink some tranquilizing soup. I heard the servants talk about what happened today, it was really horrifying."
"I'm afraid there will be more shocking things in the future." The old princess glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law next to her.
The second wife was grateful to Qing Wu for the placenta incident last time, so she also wanted to attend the Plum Garden banquet this time, but the old princess asked her to stay put.
The second wife was still a little sad, thinking that the old princess had a problem with her because of the purple placenta incident. Now she realized that the old princess had good intentions.
She felt her scalp tingling just by hearing the servant's opening words about that scene, and quickly asked someone to stop it.
If she was really at the scene, she would probably be so scared that she couldn't sleep for several nights.
"My daughter-in-law never expected that the person from the grassland was actually a fake. The grassland people are ambitious and dare to play tricks on our dynasty."
"Once this happens, I'm afraid the border will become unstable again."
The old princess did not have the worry on her face like her daughters-in-law. She just said calmly: "To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country."
She sees things further.
Compared to those guys on the grassland, the real cancer of Dayong is the one in the palace.
"Mother." The eldest lady couldn't help but ask: "Is Princess Yan really Princess Qingwu?"
The old princess looked at her two daughters-in-law and asked, "What are you worried about?"
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, and the eldest lady said, "It is well known in the capital that Princess Yan is the daughter of the former Minister of Revenue, Queen Yun. Now she has transformed into Princess Qingwu. No matter how you think about it, it is a bit absurd and bizarre."
The old princess laughed: "You believe in evil spirits seeking revenge, but you don't believe that the dead can come back to life. How can that be true?"
The eldest lady was embarrassed.
The old princess saw through their thoughts and said, "You want to ask me whether Princess Yan is a human or a ghost?"
The two sisters-in-law nodded.
If it were a human, it wouldn't be a big deal.
If it is a ghost... Even though the other party has done a favor to the Ruyang Palace, they... still have to be scared.
"Does it matter whether it's a human or a ghost?"
The old princess said in a calm tone: "It is said that ghosts have no intention to harm people, but people are more vicious than ghosts."
"As the old saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
"If we can still be clear about what is human and what is ghost, why should we distinguish so clearly?"
"People like us will all become ghosts sooner or later. If we were honest when we were human, we can be honest after we become ghosts."
The two sisters-in-law looked ashamed and nodded, "That's what mother taught me."
The Left Prime Minister’s Mansion.
After a while, the wife of the Left Prime Minister went to the Left Prime Minister's study.
When he saw her come in, Zuo Xiang looked up and was stunned to see that she looked pale and sweaty. He quickly stopped writing and went forward to support her.
"What's wrong, Madam? But what happened at the Plum Garden banquet?"
The wife of the Left Prime Minister nodded, and was helped by the Left Prime Minister to sit down. She drank a few sips of hot tea before she calmed down.
"Something has indeed happened, Prime Minister. The capital... no, Dayong is probably going to be in chaos."
The left prime minister was silent after hearing this. He sighed and shook his head, saying, "It is only a matter of time before the court falls into chaos today."
The wife of the Left Prime Minister knew how upset the Left Prime Minister was. Ever since the unjust case of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion was cleared in a trifling manner and the Hu envoys entered the capital, the Left Prime Minister had been unable to sleep every night and tossed and turned.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister could feel how exhausted he was.
Ever since the crown prince committed suicide by burning himself and the emperor became obsessed with practicing Taoism and seeking immortality, the court of Dayong became a chaotic place.
There were people like the deposed Crown Prince Yiliu who were only interested in amassing wealth and seeking personal gain for themselves.
There are also people like Zuo Xiang's family, who hold a moderate mentality and go with the flow.
There were also loyal and good ministers like Zuo Xiang, Xie Shu, and Huo Yi who truly cared about the country and the people and had always tried to save Dayong from collapse.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister saw the despair on his face. She calmed down, glanced at the memorial on the desk that seemed to be unfinished, and asked, "Why didn't the Prime Minister come to the palace to be on duty today?"
The left prime minister shook his head: "There is no need to go any further. Didn't Madam always want to go north to enjoy the snow?"
The wife of the Left Prime Minister did not answer, but asked: "Does the Prime Minister want to resign?"
The left prime minister nodded. He was extremely disappointed with the current court.
"Has the Prime Minister really let it go?"
"Let it go. Even if I don't let it go, what can I do?"
"If the Prime Minister had really let it go, he wouldn't have chosen to resign and head north."
The Northern Border is King Yan's territory, and it is also the front line facing the Hu people on the grassland. Even the wife of the Left Prime Minister can see the current situation. The Northern Border is about to be in chaos.
The Left Prime Minister has been in the officialdom for many years and he must be able to see this.
"Prime Minister, there is still hope for Dayong."
"Madam, are you talking about King Yan?" The Left Prime Minister shook his head: "King Yan is indeed talented, but unless he is willing..."
"Prime Minister." The wife of the Left Prime Minister interrupted him and took a deep breath and said, "Princess Yan is Princess Qingwu."
"...What?" The Left Prime Minister was stunned.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister held his hand tightly. She still looked frightened, but her eyes were clear:
"The one sent by the grassland is a fake."
"The real Princess Qingwu is Princess Yan!"
"The most important thing is...Princess Yan can communicate with ghosts and gods!"
Zuo Xiang was stunned, and hope burst out from his dead eyes.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister whispered, "It is difficult for mortals to punish a tyrant, but there is no limit to what ghosts and gods can do. Prime Minister, Dayong can still be saved!"
…
Right Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Ever since Situ Wei replaced the soul of Anping County Princess and the deposed Crown Prince fell, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has also been in turmoil.
The Right Prime Minister has been unable to sleep recently, always feeling that his position is about to be lost; after returning from the palace, he has been in a sour mood.
Hearing that the wife of the Right Prime Minister was attending a banquet at the Meiyuan Garden today, he wanted to find out what the 'Princess Qingwu' was doing at Prince Yan's Mansion. Just as he was about to ask someone to call the wife of the Right Prime Minister, she came over herself.
The Right Prime Minister's face turned pale as he looked at the divorce letter handed to him by his wife.
"Are you crazy?"
The wife of the Right Prime Minister had long been extremely disappointed with this man. She lowered her eyes and said, "The relationship between the Prime Minister and I is over. It would be better for both of us if we divorced. You think that Anping and I have affected your career. After divorcing me, the Prime Minister can find another good match and a better wife and family to help him."
"If you think that divorce is not good for your reputation, you can divorce me."
"Tutututut! You don't want to live anymore, right? I'll grant your wish!"
The Right Prime Minister was so furious at his wife's sudden move that he forgot about asking for information.
He simply wrote a letter of divorce and told the wife of the Right Prime Minister to get out.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister picked up the divorce letter as if she had found a treasure. She didn't even bother to say a word to this bastard and just turned around and left.
As for reminding the Right Prime Minister, huh, how is that possible?
From the moment she knew that the all-powerful Princess Yan was the real Princess Qingwu, the Right Prime Minister's wife knew that the Right Prime Minister was doomed!
Although the unjust persecution of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion had no direct connection with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the previous Right Prime Minister, the late Xu Shidao, was involved in that incident.
The current Right Prime Minister was promoted by Xu Shidao.
Moreover, during the ten years when the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion was wronged, the Right Prime Minister often denounced the Marquis of Zhenguo in front of all the officials both inside and outside the court.
Although Princess Yan had rescued Princess Anping before, whenever the Right Prime Minister's wife wanted to visit her many times to express her gratitude, she could always sense that she disliked her family.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister estimated that with the Right Prime Minister's temper and the times he stepped on the Marquis of Zhenguo when he was in trouble, she could not hide the truth from Princess Yan at all.
In a few days, the news that Princess Yan is Princess Qingwu will spread throughout the world.
At that time, no one who had added fuel to the fire after the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion was in trouble would have suffered a disastrous ending!
What's funny is that this group of people are still complacent.
He felt that an orphan girl from a marquis's mansion who had returned from the grassland would not pose any threat to him.
Who would have thought that this thing would be so wonderful?
The orphan girl who came back from the grassland was a fake. The real princess had long since "returned to the human world" and saw their true faces.
But this princess is not alone.
Not only is King Yan behind her, her very presence is enough to scare mortals!
The wife of the Right Prime Minister collected her thoughts and walked quickly.
If not now, when will you do that? This man is heartless and ungrateful. When he is in big trouble, he should be kicked away!
