Chapter 66
Mrs. Xu's expression changed as she thought about what happened back then.

It was a disgusted but helpless expression.

"It was the Holy Majesty's will that your father guard the crown prince. The crown prince's mansion is not any other place, so it won't catch fire for no reason." After Mrs. Xu said this, perhaps her head felt a little ache because of thinking about what happened back then.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu hurried forward, but before they could speak, the old lady Xu waved at Dong Shu.

"Mother, are you feeling unwell again?" Dong Shu was sitting on the edge of the bed at the feet of Mrs. Xu. Seeing Mrs. Xu waving, she hurried forward and wiped the old lady Xu with a handkerchief. After sweating, he hurriedly asked, "Mom, would you like some warm water?"

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Yanzhu turned around quickly, went to the table and poured a cup of warm water, and then handed it to Dong Shu, waiting for her to feed the old lady Xu.

Dong Shu didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Yanzhu's action, so she took the water glass naturally and carefully fed it to the old lady Xu.

In fact, Mrs. Xu's headache felt much better when Dong Shu wiped her sweat, but she didn't rush to speak until she drank a glass of water fed by Dong Shu and felt lighter. He patted Dong Shu's hand and told her to sit down and rest.

"Dong, take a rest, mother is much better now."

After Mrs. Xu said this to Dong Shu, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued what she just said: "Your father actually found some evidence right after he discovered the fire. But when he sent this evidence to the saint However, the Holy Majesty said that 'the royal family will not have such a prince who disregards brotherhood'.

Your father has been able to sit in the position of a general from an ordinary soldier, his ability to read words and demeanor is quite good.At that time, he wanted to forget the evidence and leave the palace, but the Holy Majesty called him and said three words to him.

It is precisely these three sentences that your father is willing to use his death to cover up this matter. "

The old lady Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu just after he finished speaking, then Xu Shiqiu looked at her and asked, "How did mother know this?"

"Huh! Although Mother is a woman in the inner house, she also has the doorway in the palace. Although Mother can't find out what the Holy Majesty said to your father in the end, she can be sure that the Holy Majesty wanted to keep his other son, so she did it. I will say those three words to your father." When Mrs. Xu thought of this, she felt worthless for her late husband.

For the sake of the royal family all his life, he even married his only daughter into the royal family to prove his loyalty, but in the end he got this ending.

"At the beginning when your father left, it was rumored throughout the capital that your father had angered the Holy Majesty, and many people even speculated that your father had killed the crown prince.

But on the night your father just left, the Holy One secretly sent someone to ask me to choose whether to stay in the capital or leave the capital. "Old lady Xu still finds it ridiculous when she thinks about it. She really didn't expect that the current sage would have the nerve to let her choose, "Of course I don't want to stay in the capital, and my choice is just in line with the sage's wishes.

Only your father's death and the downfall of our Xu family can suppress the news of the prince's murder.

Only your father's death will lead the ignorant people to think that your father is the murderer behind it.

Only your father's death can save his other son! "

"It's ridiculous that people in the world really believe that your father is guilty. But why don't they think about it, if your father really harmed the crown prince, how could our Xu family keep their property and leave safely with the Holy One's temperament and the family background of the Hu family? The capital." Mrs. Xu is also reluctant to go to the capital because of this incident.

"Your Majesty wants to save face and use your father's life to cover up the royal scandal. He thought that ten years would be enough time for him to clean up his sons, but in my opinion, not only did ten years not break the wings of the princes, but Let them all strengthen their own strength.

Your Majesty gets older and softer. Back then, he still had the courage to force your father to death, but now, he is reluctant to touch any of his sons.Not only was he reluctant to move, he also pretended not to notice the fight between them.

In the Holy Majesty's heart, his sons are all good, and the bad ones are all the courtiers around them, who are bewitched by them, that's why his sons have changed from before. "

This was the first time Mrs. Xu analyzed Emperor Ruikang in front of her son and granddaughter. After hearing her analysis, both Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu were stunned.

Even Dong Shu, who didn't know much about these things, felt that what the emperor did was wrong.

His own son was disobedient, but he wanted to use the death of the minister to cover up for his son.

Why?
Is it possible that because he is the emperor, he can deal with a person who is not guilty at all?

Dong Shu couldn't figure it out, it would be very messy in her head, and she still couldn't figure out these things.

When Xu Shiqiu heard his mother's first sentence, he guessed that what his mother would say next would be extremely shocking.

But he never imagined that his father's voluntary death back then turned out to be the intention of the current emperor, and the emperor would become like this.

"Mother, if the royal family is really so unbearable, then sister..."

"Your sister can be regarded as enjoying the blessings of the royal family. After all, the fifth prince is full of her. Originally, mother thought that after your father left, the fifth prince's attitude towards your sister would change. But last time Shuoer came, listen to what he said, you My sister is now the only woman the fifth prince cares about." Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Xu's face looked a little better.

When Xianggong agreed to let his daughter marry the fifth prince, Mrs. Xu was worried that it would be difficult to be a royal daughter-in-law.

But now it seems that even if the daughter did not marry the fifth prince but married the heir of an ordinary minister's family, she may not be happy now.

"But my sister wrote to me a few days ago, asking if I would like to return to Beijing to take over the military power left by my father." Xu Shiqiu originally didn't intend to tell Mrs. Xu about this matter, but since it was mentioned today, Xu Shiqiu Then she said it directly, "And Shuo'er said that when my sister wrote this letter, my brother-in-law was by my side, so I wonder if this matter is what my brother-in-law meant."

"Your brother-in-law..." Mrs. Xu thought of the son-in-law who said in front of her that he was not interested in the throne, sighed, and continued: "Hey, from what you said, it seems that your brother-in-law is also interested in that position Interested."

"Mother, in that case, do you think I should go back to Beijing?" Xu Shiqiu originally didn't intend to get involved in this matter, but after knowing the reason for his father's death, he immediately hated the current Holy Majesty.

It's just that this matter can't be said, he can only find another way to puncture the original arrangement of the Holy Majesty.

Now it seems that the easiest way is to help her brother-in-law sit on the throne, so that not only can she find a chance to kill the third prince, but also reveal the truth about his father's voluntary death.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she understood what he meant.

"Shiqiu, after all, the Holy Majesty is your brother-in-law's biological father." Xu Nuanwen also had reasons for the old lady Xu's willingness to leave the capital and become an ordinary woman in Xiahe Village.

"But if you don't take this step, father will always be charged with murdering the prince. Although the Holy Majesty did not really convict father, what he did back then hinted to everyone that the prince's death had something to do with father."

What Xu Shiqiu thinks about now is to clear his father of the crimes. As for whether he can successfully kill the third prince, this is secondary.

Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart, maybe the Hu family wanted to kill the third prince even more!

The old lady Xu also understands that what Xu Shiqiu said makes sense. What her late husband thought was that "the king must die, the minister must die", but for her, the most important thing is that her husband and children and grandchildren are safe. of.

"Hey, if you really want to do this step, I just hope you can think about Mrs. Dong and your unborn child." The old lady Xu saw that Xu Shiqiu had just finished speaking, and Xu Shiqiu wanted to speak, but Xu But the old lady shook her head at him and continued: "Your father has already gone, now Mother cares more about you."

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu didn't know what to say for a while.

While they were silent, Xu Yanzhu who was standing aside suddenly looked at the old lady Xu and Xu Shiqiu and said, "Grandmother, third uncle, if you have any plans, why don't you let me know, and I can start making arrangements after I go to the capital. "

There was no trace of tears on Xu Yanzhu's face at this meeting. She was also sad when she heard what her grandmother said. After all, it was her deceased grandfather who loved her the most in the family.

"Grandmother, third uncle, maybe I can find out something about the third prince if I marry into the Jiang family this time. Since I can't escape the fate of marrying into the Jiang family, then I should do something for our Xu family."

As soon as Xu Yanzhu finished speaking with a slight smile on his face, Xu Shiqiu wanted to stop her, but the old lady Xu looked at Xu Yanzhu to confirm before he spoke, "Yanzhu, have you made up your mind?"

"Mother!" Xu Shiqiu called his mother as soon as his mother finished speaking, "Mother, Yanzhu is my daughter's family."

"Third Uncle, are you looking down on my daughter's family?" Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Shiqiu with a smile on his lips, and seeing Xu Shiqiu shaking his head, he continued: "Third Uncle, as I said before, I am a daughter of the Xu family. As the daughter of the Xu family, it is not an exaggeration to contribute my own strength to my grandfather's affairs."

After saying this, Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Shiqiu with bright eyes and said, "Third Uncle, I thought my life was meaningless and I would be better off dying, but now, I have a new goal." Facing Xu Shiqiu After saying this, Xu Yanzhu finally looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Grandmother, this is the most convenient thing for me to do. If Third Uncle returns to Beijing to do this, it will definitely attract the attention of the Third Prince and His Majesty."

Both Xu Shiqiu and Mrs. Xu understood that what Xu Yanzhu said was very reasonable.

The marriage between her and Jiang's family was arranged by Jiang's concubine. After she went to the capital, she could take this opportunity to get close to the concubine and the third prince.

And most importantly, the Jiang family is rich.

If you really want to find out what happened nine years ago, you will definitely not be able to find out the evidence without the support of money.

But, how could this make them willing!
