Chapter 146 Unscrupulous
Chapter 146 Unscrupulous
There are some words, just to be clear, after all, the eldest princess is not that kind of person who has no capacity for others.It's just that it's really not a happy thing for one's life to be counted by one or two.
Before the Eldest Princess had an attack, Zhong Shao knew that she had believed his words, and he no longer blamed himself.But things always come to a conclusion, no matter what the answer is, so she still said: "Although Mr.'s inference has no basis, but his vision has always been unique, and there are not many mistakes. If so, A Niang What's the deal?"
Zhong Shao believed in Xu Wenjin's judgment, but the Eldest Princess did not believe it very much, because Xu Wenjin's speculation had no basis at all, and because she had never met the legendary Xu Wenjin.
The Eldest Princess thought for a moment, then said: "Abandon your husband's other plans and don't mention it, it's not bad to just plan..."
As soon as the words fell, before Zhong Shao could speak, Su Mo on the side categorically vetoed her, her face was a little ugly: "No, A Niang, this move is too risky, I can't agree with it!"
Su Mo naturally has the right to speak in front of the Princess Mansion and even the Eldest Princess.However, she has always been calm and calm. Even if she doesn't quite agree with one thing, she will carefully consider the pros and cons, and then explain it with reason to convince people, instead of rashly opposing it like she is now.
What's more, her complexion is not right at the moment, the other two people in the room naturally noticed it, Zhong Shao immediately cared and said: "Ah Mo, why is your complexion so ugly? But what's wrong with you?!"
Su Mo pursed his lips and shook his head, looked at the two of them for a moment of hesitation, and then said: "I don't feel any discomfort, it's just that I suddenly felt palpitations."
Although Su Mo's physique is not very good, and she is afraid of the cold in winter, but it is impossible to say that she has any illness.There is a good doctor in the princess mansion, who will check with Su Mo on a regular basis, and they are all well.Since the body is fine, the palpitations can only be due to psychology, and Su Mo is not a person who is easily frightened into palpitations...
Zhong Shao subconsciously exchanged glances with the Eldest Princess, both of them looked downcast, as if they also felt Su Mo's panic and palpitations about the future at that moment.
After a while, the eldest princess just said helplessly: "This is not what I want, I just follow the trend."
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the princess mansion remained the same, and it didn't suddenly become tense, or it was simply overwhelmed.It's just that there are more letters sent out, and more staff members gather in the Eldest Princess' study to discuss matters.Most of the time, Su Mo would go to listen and express his own opinions, but Zhong Shao never set foot in the study again in order to avoid suspicion.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. It was already late October when Zhong Shao entered Beijing, and now it is the end of the year before he knows it.
After all, Xiao Wenxuan was recruited back by King Fu to celebrate the New Year after all, Xu Wenjin and Wu Changjun had no place to stay, and they still moved into the princess mansion after all.They live next door to the group of staff in the Princess Mansion, but they obviously don't have the same treatment as that group of staff, at least in terms of trust - Xu Wenjin felt more than once that His Highness the Eldest Princess looked at him very disliked!
At the end of the year, it was no different from Zhong Shao, but it was a busy one for Su Mo.Not to mention the various secret planning initiatives of the Princess Mansion recently, the preparations for the New Year's Eve in the mansion, the annual gift exchanges with various families in the capital, and the piles of ledgers that need to be checked from various industries under the Princess Mansion, etc. , is also busy enough.
Zhong Shao soon felt that he was left out in the cold.But every time she saw the tired look in Su Mo's eyes, she couldn't help feeling distressed.As a matter of course, she sold Xu Wenjin - all the accounts of her caravan were handled by Mr. Xu, and it was not easy to ask others. He helped to look at the account books and checked the numbers, but there was no problem at all.
Mr. Xu, who is lazy by nature but sold out by the students: "..."
Xu Wenjin is good at arithmetic, he doesn't need an abacus or ink to calculate ordinary numbers, he only needs to do it in his head.But no one would like to work overtime, and Xu Wenjin naturally didn't want to take on this job, but... well, whoever let him not notice the trick for a while, in order to maintain his goodwill, he can only be wronged did the extra work.
This busyness lasted almost until New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Eve, there was always a palace banquet in the palace.
The palace banquet on New Year's Eve is not for the officials, but the clan. The Eldest Princess naturally wants to go to the banquet, but now Zhong Shao is not qualified to enter the palace again.Fortunately, the mother-in-law was very reasonable and left her daughter-in-law. Before leaving, she said to her, "Today's New Year's Eve is supposed to be a reunion day, and the palace is deserted. Why don't you take your mother out as well."
Before marrying Su Mo, Zhong Shao had always spent New Year's Eve by herself. Although Lianqiu and Xiaoshan had accompanied her to watch the night at that time, they were not family members after all.Then the two got married, but they couldn't wait until the New Year's Eve, when a catastrophe approached, Lao and Yan were separated.
This year's New Year's Eve may be the happiest Zhong Shao has spent in these years.So she happily sent the Eldest Princess out of the mansion with Su Mo, and said: "Aniang, please drink less wine at the banquet, and we will watch the new year together when we come back at night."
Chinese New Year is always festive, and the eldest princess who had already boarded the carriage waved at the two of them, signaling that she knew.Then the coachman flicked his whip and drove the carriage away.
************************************************** ************
After the eldest princess's car drove away, it did not return until the evening, and the same car brought back the noble concubine.
The carriage drove directly into the Princess Mansion, Zhong Shao and Su Mo had been waiting for them to come back, and when they saw this, they went up happily.However, when the curtain of the car was lifted, the expressions of the two people in the car were not very good, and the eldest princess was even helped down from the car by the noble concubine!
Su Mo hurried forward to hold the eldest princess' arm, and asked worriedly: "Mother, what are you..."
The Eldest Princess waved her hands, her face was pale and she said nothing, and then she pressed her hands on her chest, obviously suppressing something.Her appearance at the moment was very similar to the discomfort after drinking too much, but several people present knew it was not, because the alcohol smell on her body was obviously light.
The noble concubine's complexion was also ugly, she was so pale that she was no more bloody than the eldest princess, she even hid panic in her eyes, but she was calm when she spoke: "Ah Shao, you hug her and send her back to the room quickly go!"
Zhong Shao was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, and the eldest princess waved her hand immediately: "I'm fine, it's not good to be seen by others."
It could be heard that the eldest princess was obviously out of breath, and Zhong Shao suddenly realized something, and his face sank.Then she leaned over, hugged the Eldest Princess horizontally, and said at the same time: "Don't worry, A Niang, no one will see it."
After saying this, Zhong Shao turned his head to look at Su Mo, then touched the ground with his toes, and jumped out lightly.She moved extremely fast, her figure was ethereal, even if she was still holding a person, she was like a ghost, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the other two.
Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment, and no one else saw this scene.The imperial concubine was obviously surprised, and Su Mo was not without surprise, but they didn't care about this at the moment, and they quickly followed up.
The princess mansion occupies a large area, and when Su Mo and the noble concubine rushed to the eldest princess' bedroom, it was already half an hour later.
The noble concubine seemed to be more impatient than Su Mo. She walked in front of Su Mo, pushed open the door and stepped into the bedroom.After a few steps inside, when I looked up again, I saw the Eldest Princess lying on the head of the bed, and opened her mouth to vomit a mouthful of blood.
The blood fell on the light-colored carpet, it was not bright red, but red with black in it!
The noble concubine rushed over in shock, opened her mouth and said anxiously: "Yingyang, how are you doing?!"
Su Mo entered the door one step later than the imperial concubine, but she also saw the scene where the eldest princess vomited blood. She turned pale and said, "I'll get someone to bring the imperial doctor." After saying this, she turned around want to go.
The Eldest Princess supported the bed with one hand, and vomited another mouthful of blood, but shouted: "Stop, don't go!"
Su Mo's feet froze, and his flustered mind cleared up a little bit, and he reacted in an instant, and then his face turned pale—the poison was poisoned at the palace banquet, and His Majesty really did something to A Niang, more than they imagined Early and faster!
I have thought that there will be swordsmanship, and there will be assassination, but Xiao Qian's blatantly poisoning the palace banquet like this is indeed something that few people would expect-if killing the parents will cause people to panic, the government will be unstable, Then poisoning the palace banquet on New Year's Eve is enough to shock the entire clan and make them crusade. After all, no one wants to go to a palace banquet and die for no reason.
However, Xiao Qian did it without any scruples for such a risky thing. Is he reckless, or has he gone crazy to achieve his goal?But the Eldest Princess has restrained herself, let alone persecuted him, why is he so crazy? !
Su Mo panicked, subconsciously looking for another figure who could reassure her, but she couldn't find it!At this moment, only the eldest princess, the noble concubine and her are in the bedroom, and Zhong Shao, who had sent someone over before, has gone to nowhere.
The Grand Concubine's hands were shaking, she took out the handkerchief from her bosom to wipe off the blood stained on the eldest princess's lips, but the more she wiped, the more her hands trembled, and she almost cried when she spoke again : "Yingyang, how are you? Does it hurt? How about Ah Shao? Has she gone to the doctor, why hasn't she come back yet?!"
The Eldest Princess took the hand of the Grand Concubine holding the handkerchief, she closed her eyes, and said with a weak breath: "I'm fine, just wait a little longer, just wait a little longer..."
The noble concubine shook the eldest princess's hand back, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, she didn't know what the eldest princess was waiting for, but she still believed her, and murmured: "Okay, wait, I'll accompany you Wait, but you must be fine."
The author has something to say:
Su Mo: Why do I always feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between these two ladies?
Zhong Shao: Because some things are inherited
