C186 (2/2)
She vaguely remembered Lin Shu's appearance. She was only a little bit more heroic and taller than an ordinary girl. Not long ago, when the Grand Princess of Pingning went to Palace, she had had a few words with her, saying that the Fourth Miss of the house of the Marquis was a disaster and had a lot of ideas … ”Ah, I am afraid she has seduced her own son in such a way.
Otherwise, when the First Princess Pingning had clearly taken a fancy to Lin Shu, how could it have been set on that bastard girl from the Duke Chengan Palace? Just because of her grudges with First Princess Pingning, she would not agree to this marriage.
Actually, there were many methods in the palace. It would not be so easy to help their own son become the crown prince, and now that they had the support of the Zhang Family and the National Duke Ning Palace, it was best to rope in a few more people.
Now that Empress Zhang had already set his eyes on First Princess Pingning, even though Princess Pingning was only a feudal widow, he still had the Zhu Family and Zhou Family behind his.
The First Princess Pingning was spoiled by the Empress Zhou who was the leader, he had always had a personality of his own, if his youngest son really married Lin Shu, the First Princess Pingning would probably hate his, and she would even want to pull the First Princess along to deal with the Empress Dowager Wang.
No matter what, he could not allow this matter!
Thinking about it, Empress Zhang still did not feel safe, he heaved a long sigh of relief: ”During this time, you should go out and scout, see which family's young lady has not been betrothed to yet, it does not matter if there is a lack of seniors, the key is to stand by our side.” She felt that no matter which girl it was, they were still better than Lin Shu.
The Third Prince felt that the Empress Zhang was just standing by his side and hurriedly replied, ”Alright, during this period of time, I will send someone to investigate. Also, the matter of Lin Shu's marriage will be decided sooner rather than later! It should be better if you don't have any other thoughts. ”
Empress Zhang nodded weakly, ”You should know better than Ol 'Eight, he is really spoiled by me! I'll leave this matter to you, you can always handle it with ease, and that's right, why were you crying non-stop when Young Princess was carried in just now? Is there something wrong with my body? Did I see her swollen eyes? ”
The next generation had always been intimate, not to mention that she had never had a daughter. Now that she had a granddaughter that was carved out of jade, she became the pearl of her palm.
”Originally, your son felt bad to see you, so he didn't plan to tell you about this matter. However, since you asked, there is no reason for your son to not tell you.” ”Your son doesn't blame the Royal Father, and I don't dare to blame the Royal Father as well. Back then the Royal Father had selected such a concubine for my son because he had his own difficulties too … But, my son thought that Third Princess was a gentle, virtuous, kind-hearted and generous person, he never expected to be able to do such a thing. To be able to kill his own daughter, what else can't she do? ”
”In the past, the empress dowager had sent the Lateral Consort Wang to her son's side. At that time, she had done a lot of evil deeds. Her son only wanted to say that women were somewhat jealous to begin with, so she could just turn a blind eye to it. Queen Mother, what do you think our son should do? ”
For the time being, no matter what the Empress Zhang said, even the Emperor would not agree to it.
Empress Zhang's face became even more unsightly, ”Originally, I thought she was born a little worse and knew that she was born with her tail between her legs, so I carefully served you. I never thought that she would be able to do such a thing … ”Since this is the case, since you've brought Young Princess here today, then leave Young Princess here. You must treat the injuries on her arm properly!”
”Young Princess is also a body of gold, if anything were to happen to you after we return, it would be too late for you to regret it.”
The Third Prince nodded, and said: ”Queen Mother is the most considerate one, putting him by your side, your son will not be able to rest easy.”
The mother and son talked for a bit more before the Third Prince returned, but Empress Zhang kept tossing and turning without being able to sleep. At night, she wished that she could tell Cha Liang He to send people over to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to give Lin Shu a few slaps.
But she was the empress, the mother of a nation within the Daqing Dynasty.
But, if she did not punish Lin Shu, she would never be able to take this lying down.
On the second day, Empress Zhang's eyelids were naturally a bluish-purple, and his expression was dispirited. Even when Zha Lianghe brought Young Princess to her, she could not laugh, and only felt gloomy, ”How is Eighth Prince?”
Cha Liang He glanced at Empress Zhang and felt that he didn't dare speak.
Empress Zhang glared at him, ”Just say it directly. Don't tell me you have something you can't say in front of me?”
Zha Liang He then said softly, ”This servant knows that the empress is thinking of the Eighth Prince, so she went to check on Eighth Prince early in the morning. But who knew that there was no activity at all from the Eighth Prince's side, she said that it was breakfast sent in the morning, and the Eighth Prince didn't move at all. He stayed in the study room all the time, and even when this servant went, he didn't show himself …”
If one were to say that he was able to leap to become the number one person in front of Empress Zhang, he was not someone who was nothing short of outstanding. At least, no one in this world could guess what Empress Zhang was thinking better than him.
