The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 517 The agreement with the son (3)
"Grandfather!" The eldest son Zhou Qi was extremely suspicious, and even suspected that the old prince had been dropped by someone, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the old prince would speak for Xiao Mingyu. "Grandfather, but Xiao Mingyu threatened you, or she poisoned you."

"Presumptuous, do you think this king is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" The old prince patted the table angrily.

Xiao Mingyu looked at the prince Zhou Qi with a smile, "Your Highness, the same method is indispensable. This truth is not only understood by His Royal Highness, but also by me. The old prince is deeply aware of righteousness and knows that everything must be done. Only in the future There is room for manoeuvre. That's why I made up my mind to help our Xiao family." After a pause, Xiao Mingyu continued: "I think the son should know about it, Mei Ruhui set fire to the old house of the Xiao family last night, and the century-old foundation of the Xiao family was destroyed. Moreover, Mei Ruhui killed all the servants left in the mansion by Mei Ruhui, not a single one was left alive. Moreover, Mei Ruhui even colluded with Aunt Jiang of our fifth room. My father, I want to kill my father. If I hadn't arrived in time, the fifth master of the Xiao family would have died. Such a thing is so tragic that no one would think that it was Mei Ruhui who did it, it was only an order from the palace. The Wangfu has adopted such cruel methods against the mere Xiao family, and every household in Zhongzhou City is probably starting to be on guard against the Wangfu's attack on them someday."

The crown prince Zhou Qi had a complex expression.

Xiao Mingyu continued, "I believe that the Wangfu has its own rules and regulations. Even if there is something wrong with the Xiao family, the Wangfu will pay attention to benevolence and righteousness. But the people selected by the Wangfu are not very good. Mei Ruhui can disobey orders just for Aunt Jiang. Falsifying the public for personal gain, killing a lot, causing panic in Zhongzhou City, and causing the aristocratic family to be separated from the royal palace. In the future, when he sees that the royal palace can't do anything for his own glory and wealth, what will he do? Betrayal, assassination, I'm afraid It is not impossible to sell the entire palace at that time."

"Enough!" The crown prince Zhou Qi interrupted Xiao Mingyu, "What is your purpose? It is not your turn to question how our palace uses people and how we do things."

"You are presumptuous." The old prince scolded, "Miss Xiao's words are very reasonable, that Mei Ruhui must never be used again. Killing people is nothing more than a nod, the palace wants to deal with the Xiao family, just arrest and lock them up. Why? To kill them all, to burn their ancestral houses. The servants in Xiao's mansion don't know anything, why do they commit crimes. Zhou Qi, please tell me clearly, is it your father who made Mei Ruhui do this? ?”

Zhou Qi's expression was shaken, and he bowed his head and said, "I'm telling my grandfather, my father just ordered Mei Ruhui to lead a team to arrest the members of the Xiao family. I didn't let Mei Ruhui kill them all, and I didn't let Mei Ruhui kill and set fire. Originally, my father arranged for someone else to do this matter. Mei Ruhui took the initiative to invite Ying. My father thought that he was always calm and thoughtful, and he had a year of experience in the military camp, so he did it. Will agree to let him lead the team. But I didn't expect that Mei Ruhui would commit crimes and ruin the reputation of our palace. The matter has been reported to the father, and the father is furious, and he is about to interrogate him. But Mei Ruhui is a tongue-in-cheek Ruchun, this time, my father might take it lightly."

"Confused." The old prince scolded angrily, "Your father is a fool. He was foolish when he was young, and he is still foolish when he is old. That Mei Ruhui, just by looking at his behavior, knows that he is a deep-minded and untrustworthy person. For a Women, you can betray your master and let your master bear a dishonorable reputation, just like Miss Xiao said, it is not impossible to sell you for the sake of glory and wealth, for the sake of the future family."

Although the crown prince Zhou Qi disapproved of the old prince turning his elbow to help Xiao Mingyu speak, but the crown prince Zhou Qi deeply agreed with the content of these words.Since then, the eldest son Zhou Qi has taken deep precautions against Mei Ruhui, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

The eldest son Zhou Qi looked at Xiao Mingyu with complicated eyes. He really didn't expect that the words about Mei Ruhui would move the old prince.The eldest son Zhou Qi said respectfully: "What the grandfather taught is that the grandson knows his mistakes. I don't know what we should do next, so I ask my grandfather to show me."

The old prince nodded, "A child can be taught, and he is much better than your father. To restore his reputation, it is nothing more than to push Mei Ruhui, the culprit, and let the world know that the affairs of the Xiao family are done by Mei Ruhui in private. It's not the palace's idea. Secondly, there is no need to kill the Xiao family. The Xiao family is just a family with some roots in Zhongzhou. It neither holds the army nor holds power, so what's the use of hunting them down."

Xiao Mingyu thinks it is true, fortunately she convinced the old prince today, otherwise she alone may not be able to make the eldest son Zhou Qi submit.

The elder son Zhou Qi frowned slightly, "Have you forgotten, grandfather? The eldest master of the Xiao family is now an official in the capital, and it is said that he is also a high-ranking official. There are also Xiao family's in-laws, the Han family, who must also be taken seriously."

The old prince snorted coldly, "short-sighted. Do you think your father's plan will succeed? Fighting against the entire court with the power of one place, and it's not justified, you think God will help you, common people Will you stand by your side? Confused. What will you do when the situation is at an end? If someone in the court speaks for you at that time, there may be room for things to turn around. I think Elder Han Ge is a good candidate. "

Xiao Mingyu stood up, bowed and said, "If I arrive at the capital safely, I will definitely convey the goodwill of the palace in front of my grandfather. If His Royal Highness needs it at that time, you can send someone to the capital to look for me. I think Mr. Han Ge is in court. The weight of words must not be comparable to that of ordinary people."

The old prince nodded, "That's a good statement. Han Ge has a high position and authority, so the weight of his words is naturally different. Taking advantage of the present, forming a good relationship will benefit both of us."

Xiao Mingyu looked anxiously at the eldest son Zhou Qi, waiting for him to express his opinion.

The eldest son Zhou Qi chuckled, "Miss Xiao's wishful thinking is really impressive."

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "His Royal Highness praised you, everyone is rushing for their own future. Please see, the palace has made things difficult for the Xiao family, me, and my mother several times, but I have not held any grudges from the beginning to the end." The palace also didn’t hold grudges against His Royal Highness. It’s not because I’m afraid of the power of the palace, but because I know that there are no permanent enemies or friends in this world, only eternal interests. In the past, His Royal Highness could embarrass me for profit Today, you can also cooperate with me for the benefit. In the future, maybe we can do something together. Of course, it is also possible to turn against each other. No matter what, at this moment, it is the best policy for us to turn hostility into friendship and form a good relationship. I don’t know the son Does Your Highness agree with me?"

The eldest son Zhou Qi snorted coldly, "You are just the granddaughter of Mr. Han Ge, and Mr. Han Ge has no affection for you. Everything is just for Mrs. Han's sake. How can this eldest son ensure that what you said today can become a reality?" , how can you guarantee that Mr. Han Ge will listen to what you say?"
