Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Empress Dowager?" Jin Miaomiao rolled her eyes, "If you touch her, nothing good will happen!"

"You're right, as long as it has something to do with her, nothing good will happen." Hong Ye nodded, "According to the confession of the empress dowager's confidant female officer, Lord Liu attacked His Highness Ning Wang at the court meeting, and poured dirty water on His Highness Ning Wang, saying that he The empress dowager instigated him to say that he behaved indiscriminately. Moreover, in order to ensure the authenticity of this pot of dirty water, the empress dowager even prepared a witness for him."

"Personal witness?" Patriarch Luan didn't quite understand Hongye's meaning, "How do you prepare this kind of personal certificate? Besides, everyone in Xijing City knows that His Royal Highness King Ning is in poor health and can't go out often, let alone hang around brothels." Chu Pavilion is gone, he needs a private room even if he goes to a restaurant to have a meal."

"Coincidentally, there is something about your Luan family here."

"My family?" Patriarch Luan looked a little flustered, "What does it have to do with my family?"

"The perjury was prepared by your family." Hong Ye gritted her teeth at Patriarch Luan, "Patriarch Luan should be very clear about how the Luan family started their business, right?"

Patriarch Luan was silent for a moment, looked at the people in front of him, and then at his wife, and nodded slightly.

"Yes, I know, it's really not a clean business, but it was closed a long time ago. When I took over, there was no such business in my family, so if it is in this area, it really has nothing to do with my family .”

"As for the business, I definitely won't do it, but it doesn't mean that it has nothing to do with this business. Your lord, I mean the father of Patriarch Luan, who is also the empress dowager's confidant. He helps the empress dowager take care of some shady businesses. However, after the Luan family left Xijing City, this part of the business was handed over to others, so it is reasonable for the Luan family master to not know."

"The business in the hands of the Empress Dowager?" Patriarch Luan thought for a while, then shook his head lightly, "I have never been involved in this, but I just heard my father say it a few times, and I thought he was old and confused. So, I said some stupid things, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Of course it is true. The business in the Empress Dowager's hands must be handed over to the person she trusts the most, and Mr. Luan is someone she absolutely trusts and will never betray her." Hongye smiled, "Also, in this respect, Mr. Luan is still a proficient hand. He doesn't need any adjustments at all. He can manage her in an orderly manner."

"So, in order to pour dirty water on His Royal Highness Ning, and portray His Highness Ning as a dandy, they specially prepared..." Liu's daughter took a deep breath, barely making her voice sound less trembling, "I have prepared a witness, and this witness is from the brothel, right?"

"That's right!" Hong Ye snapped her fingers, "Where is the viciousness of this move? The witnesses and testimonies they prepared cannot withstand scrutiny or verification."

"This means..." Jin Miaomiao looked at Hongye, then at Liu's daughter, and suddenly realized, "You don't mean that His Royal Highness King Ning met Mrs. Luan during the time that was said in the testimony. Do the times match?"

"That's what it means!" Hong Ye sighed with admiration on her face, "Master Liu's mind would never have thought of such an exquisite and ruthless move. If His Highness King Ning wants to prove his innocence, he must say that. At that time of the day, where is he, what is he doing, and whether there is any witness. Once he said it, he could tell all officials clearly that he was meeting Mrs. Luan alone, and there were even servants and maids around him. No. As for what you did at the meeting, no one cares what His Royal Highness Ning said. People can imagine and arrange it at will. When such rumors become more and more violent, if you say that it has nothing to do with it, no one will listen to it. .”

"This is really ruthless, ruining the reputation of two people." Patriarch Luan shook his head disapprovingly, "Although I do things by all means, I really don't agree with such means."

"That shows that Patriarch Luan still has a certain conscience, unlike some people who don't care about anything in order to achieve their own goals."

"No wonder!" Liu's daughter no longer knew whether she should cry or laugh, or how to express her current mood, "Once we met, many people gathered around and pointed, and I was still talking about why With so many people paying attention to us, His Highness asked me a question that he knew. I was really confused by what he said at the time, and I didn't know what it meant, thinking that I didn't know where I offended him, and he was angry again. "She Sighing softly, "Although our relationship seems to have repaired a lot, I still feel guilty towards him, so no matter what attitude he treats me, I don't care." After finishing speaking, She sighed heavily, "Sometimes I feel very humble. For such a person, I even lose my self-esteem, which is very worthless. I have also thought about whether I should give up such a marriage contract, but I I can't disobey the wishes of my parents and the empress dowager, so I can only..."

"But you never thought about what your father did behind the scenes, which caused the relationship that had been eased to become deadlocked again."

"No." Liu's daughter shook her head, "We haven't seen each other for a long time since we met that time. The last time we met was after the divorce. His Royal Highness King Ning took the initiative to ask me out and gave him the things I gave him. He returned it all to me, and said that since I don't want to spend my life with him, then wish me happiness and hope that I can meet a beloved man."

"Did you have the urge to tell him that none of this was your intention?"

"Yes." Liu's daughter nodded, "But for my father, for our family, there is no way to do this. My father was dismissed because of this matter. Although I knew it was the empress dowager's arrangement, I still couldn't bear it." I will always complain about His Royal Highness Ning Wang, and I have also thought about it, if he refuses to withdraw the engagement, if he keeps me, will the situation change." She chuckled lightly, with a self-deprecating smile on her face, "But he I didn't stay, so I left so resolutely." She looked at Hongye, "After hearing what you said today, I realized that everything I did was done step by step according to the Queen Mother's plan. , maybe from the very beginning, she didn't intend to let me become Concubine Ning, she didn't intend to let me marry His Royal Highness Ning, she just used me to hold His Highness Ning to achieve her goal."

"But she didn't accomplish anything in the end. She only left behind a bunch of lies." The head of the Luan family looked at his wife, "We got together because of her lies and became husband and wife. And many years later, because of She has learned about the true nature of each other through her lies, so we should thank her properly, right?"
