Chapter 199 Seeking Cooperation ([-]rd)

Aunt Luan said: "You must know that the only concubines of the Grand Duke are my Aunt Chen."

Yang Mu nodded. After Yang Chengen got older, he stopped taking concubines. The young concubines were dismissed by the Chen family, and the old ones gradually passed away.

Now in the Duke's mansion, there are only two aunts who have given birth to children, and they are Aunt Chen and Aunt Luan in front of her.

Aunt Chen is the concubine sister of the Chen family and lives in the Baihuayuan next to Jingfuyuan.

The Chen family has a daughter named Yang Huiwen who is married to Zhuang Jingming.

When Zhuang Jingming was sent to Datong as the magistrate, Yang Huiwen followed him to Shanxi instead of the capital.

Aunt Luan also has only one daughter named Yang Yi. A few years ago when the new emperor ascended the throne, a draft was held. Yang Yi was left in the palace and became Concubine Shu.

Later, the young emperor Xibao suddenly died suddenly, and the empress Dowager Tao had nothing left to do, so she chose Concubine Sheng's son as emperor, named Emperor Xiaorui.

Tao is the Queen Mother of the East, Sheng is the Queen Mother of the West, and Yang Yi is respected as Concubine Shu.

Unexpectedly, within half a year, Emperor Xiaorui died young, and Yang Yi, who was promoted to Concubine Shu, was already more than seven months pregnant, and she was the posthumous son of Emperor Xi Bao.

Empress Dowager Tao and Empress Dowager Sheng chose the youngest son of the regent's mansion to be the emperor, named Emperor Longxing, on the grounds that "the concubine Shu's womb does not know the sex, and the country cannot live without a king".

Later, Yang Yi gave birth to a son, who was named Li You in less than two months.

Aunt Luan said: "It was very difficult for the empress dowager to give birth to Emperor Xi Bao's posthumous child under the eyes of the empress dowagers of the two palaces."

There is no need to say this clearly, Yang Mu naturally understands.The empress dowagers of the two palaces naturally did not want Yang Yi to have children, which would threaten their status.

It's true that even the empress and concubine didn't want Yang Yi to give birth to a child, otherwise it would be difficult for her own grandson, Emperor Longxing, to sit firmly on the dragon chair.

Aunt Luan glanced at Yang Mu, and said, "I heard that the Bao Guanshi next to you is the old Bao Nuguan?"

Yang Mu looked back at her and asked, "So, do we still have a conflict of interest?"

Aunt Luan shook her head slightly, and said, "Grand Concubine Shu just wants to bring up your Highness safely." Now that the child is too young, planning anything is delusional.

Yang Yi's only backing is the Yang family, but the empress dowagers of the two palaces have too much power, and Yang Yi is no match at all.

Yang Mu sighed inwardly, born in the royal family, it is a blessing to be able to grow up, the birth mother must have means and plans.

Yang Mu looked at Aunt Luan curiously, and asked, "So, what does Auntie want to cooperate with me? And what result do you want to get?"

Aunt Luan said: "Second Miss is so smart, she should be able to guess it."

Yang Mu looked in the direction of Jingfuyuan and asked, "Auntie wants the position of mistress?"

Aunt Luan shook her head and said: "The Duke is getting old, even if the wife is gone in the future, he will not have another wife."

Yang Mu couldn't understand, and looked at her probingly, "Is Auntie just trying to suppress Jingfuyuan?" What's the point?

Aunt Luan also looked in the direction of Jingfuyuan, and after a while, she slowly said: "She once killed two children in my house."

Afterwards, he turned his gaze to the direction of Yulan Courtyard. The person who lives there is the Second Household Sheng family.

On her indifferent face, the eyes were deep, and her red lips parted slightly, "She almost killed my grandson."

Aunt Luan's only adult daughter is Concubine Shu Yang Yi, and her grandson is naturally Emperor Xi Bao's posthumous son, Li You.

"Second Aunt?" Yang Mu didn't quite understand.

Aunt Luan gave a wry smile, and said: "A year ago, there was a big New Year's greeting in the palace, and the second lady brought a gift from the Yang family to visit Concubine Shu..."

She lowered her eyes to conceal the murderous intent in her eyes, and said slowly: "In the congratulatory gift, there was a pair of armbands from the Sheng family in Jiangnan, with enough musk in them. Concubine Shu is a gift from her mother's family. I feel at ease when I wear it for a while, and then I see red. If it wasn't for the imperial doctor's best efforts to treat it, I'm afraid...one dead body and two lives!"

Calculated according to the time, Yang Yi should be about six months pregnant at that time.

Yang Mudao: "Why did Second Aunt poison Concubine Shu?" The same Yang family, shouldn't they be on the same boat?
Aunt Luan looked in the direction of Yulan Courtyard again, and said slowly: "Second Madam and the Empress Dowager's natal family Jing'an Hou are of the same lineage, they are both from the Jiangnan Sheng family. And the Empress Dowager is the Second Madam's second cousin."

Yang Mu suddenly felt a little suffocated. In this way, Aunt Luan is also a poor person, and the one in the palace is not easy.

I'm afraid that neither of these two people thought that they would be plotted against by their close relatives.

But looking at Aunt Luan's current appearance, it seems that she is not a soft-hearted person. How could she be treated so badly by Mrs. Chen?

Aunt Luan continued: "It's rare for women in the palace to see their family members. Yesterday your grandfather went to the palace and met Concubine Shu, so he knew how the child came here these days..."

Aunt Luan's voice began to choke, and after a while, she continued: "Your grandfather told me about this matter yesterday, I thought about it for a day, and only by joining forces with you can we suppress the arrogance of the Chen and Sheng families." go down!"

Yang Mu frowned, and asked in doubt: "Even if Grandma and Second Aunt no longer make things difficult for Auntie, how can it be of any help to Concubine Shu in the palace?"

Aunt Luan closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, exhaled foul breath, and said, "As long as Chen and Sheng don't care about the house, the housekeeping power will fall into the hands of your aunt. Mrs. Shizi is a kind person, so naturally she won't help Let the empress dowagers of the two palaces deal with Concubine Shu, as long as the backyard does not cause trouble for Concubine Shu, the empress does not have to worry about the knife behind her!"

She turned around, faced Yang Mu, and said seriously: "Second Miss, your grandfather and father love Concubine Shu and Your Highness very much. If there were no obstructions from the Chen family and the Sheng family, the Yang family would naturally be for Concubine Shu. With escort, your little Highness will be able to grow up safely!"

Yang Mu was silent for a moment, and said, "What benefits can I get?"

Aunt Luan refilled her a cup of tea and said, "Look at Second Miss's movements in the past few days. She wants to find out what happened when she was born and when she was abducted? Maybe I can help."

Yang Mu's eyes shrank imperceptibly, Aunt Luan even noticed this?

Such a smart person, why can't he beat Mrs. Chen?
Aunt Luan seemed to know what Yang Mu was thinking, and said slowly: "I am not from a high family background, and there are no relatives in my family. The so-called lonely tree is hard to support."

She motioned Yang Mu to look at her yard, and said, "I heard that in Yuxuan, there is only one dumb woman besides Mother Gui. Who else can I ask for work?"

Yang Mu didn't agree immediately, but drank tea and said, "Let me consider this matter."

Aunt Luan didn't seem to be in a hurry, she said, "It should."

Yang Mu stood up and called Dai Shan to leave.

After leaving Ting Yuxuan, Yang Mu looked back and felt that Aunt Luan was deliberately using music to lure him in.

But how did the other party know that he would go this way?

You must know that Cuizhuyuan is to the east, and Tingyuxuan is to the west. These are two roads!
