Spring Forest Evening

Zhou Heng is actually very absent-minded at the moment, and his mind has been thinking about—

For some reason just now, I inexplicably thought of the unequal number, one prince and two concubines... Then I couldn't help thinking that there might have been some indescribable scenes in Wanqing Court...

So I heard Shen Fu say in a deep voice: "Uncle He has something to say, but say it!" With his head lowered on purpose, he quietly glanced at him with ill intentions, alas, a little sympathy, Shen Fu, Shen Fu, I didn't expect that you, a top-notch, rich and handsome, would be wearing a colored hat...

Uncle He naturally didn't think that way. Seeing what Shen Fu said, he knew that he was not that kind of narrow-minded person, not to mention that he was in love with Miss Zhou's family now. Su Rong continued:

"The fire in the Wanqing Courtyard, originally we thought it must be the third princess who wanted to kill people, and the biggest target of the fire was naturally Ah Heng. The matter is a bit puzzling. Ordinarily, if this is the case, there is no reason to make such a big fuss over a... favored maid. The jealousy is a bit too big, and it comes out of nowhere. You know, even if she You are the third princess, but now she has nothing to do with the palace!"

"But now that the empress has revealed such a clue, let alone the key to it! Ah Fu, I'm thinking, maybe Liufeng Pavilion is just a matter of convenience, in fact, they are all for the Wanqingyuan It’s just that if only that place was burned at that time, I’m afraid we would find out something later, and it would be confusing.”

"It's also fortunate that Ah Fu later reported to the yamen that thieves had entered the mansion. Otherwise, you should watch it. If there is any suspicion here, they must have prepared sufficient evidence long ago. Sometimes they say that a few concubines are jealous and so on, anyway, they must be pouring dirty water on the palace! Cough, what, it's not good to hear this kind of thing, and then our place will naturally die down."

"In this way, it became a case without a head, and it was finally settled."

"As for why the two girls in Wanqingyuan were murdered to silence them, the empress didn't say anything clearly today, but I listened, she had something in her words, and she seemed to know something. I also thought about it on the way back, maybe... It's the two girls who feel remorse, oh no, it's very possible that they were coerced from the very beginning!"

Uncle He's last words were actually a bit far-fetched, and they were meant to help Shen Fu regain his place, but after Zhou Heng thought about it, it was possible that this was not the case. After all, the two girls ate and drank well in Prince Jing's mansion. Worry, even if she was left out by Shen Fu for a long time, at least there are no other competitors in the palace, so why bother with a prince who is promising but also has an uncertain future?

Could it be that the second prince thought he had the chance to win, and promised the two girls such a bright future as a noble concubine?That's quite tempting. The two girls look at me and I look at you. Maybe they agreed in a flash of enthusiasm.

Anyway, I heard that the two girls are only in their early twenties, and they are in their prime years. Seeing that there is hope for prosperity and wealth, who cares whether they will lose themselves or even the whole family in the future?

There is a saying that goes well: Wealth and wealth are sought after insurance!

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng could no longer sympathize with Shen Fu. Who would have thought that such a prince with a different surname would never inherit the throne in his family, and his parents died inexplicably before. They actually want to kill everything, get rid of their fiancée, and kill their concubines. Is this the rhythm that Shen Fu must fight to the end as a bachelor?

Or was it just so that he had to marry that bitch, the third princess?

Just thinking of this, Uncle He over there patted the table and said:

"...It must be that the other side was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so they deliberately found such a second prince to attack when he was not in Beijing. In this way, the man-made disaster was pretended to be a natural disaster, and the second prince picked it up cleanly, and the third princess took the opportunity to pretend to come to the scene Disaster relief, even if we find some clues in it, let alone we are embarrassed to suspect her, even if we do find something, she will be able to make peace by taking advantage of her presence during the fire fighting!"

"Hmph, you are so courageous that you even reached out to Prince Jing's mansion! It's really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone! I said, how can Her Royal Highness, who has to go to the palace paddock every year to make a splash, how can she obediently behave filially to her daughter this year?" Here we come, so we were waiting here! While waiting for the people from the Zhongnan Road to bring in the goods for handover, at the same time, we calculated that there would be plenty of thunderstorms in the summer, so we could kill people and put an end to future troubles! The second prince, of course it is Just be a filial son in front of the emperor and not let the eldest prince get all the limelight!"

At the end, he was forced to hold back, Zhou Heng listened, if it wasn't for the hostile side, Uncle He might have added a sentence: "High, it's really high!"

But I really have to admit that after this set up, it can be said to be seamless, without any trace, and the gods and ghosts don't know it.

It’s just that, whether it’s the third princess, the queen mother, the second prince, or the queen, they never thought that Zhou Heng, the young lady of the Zhou family who thought she would never have a chance to live, is still in the palace. stay here.

Perhaps this is the great significance of coming to this world. In order to prevent Shen Fu from being secretly plotted against, he even saved Prince Jing's mansion from potential danger invisibly.

But, then again, the biggest question still remains unsolved: how did the two girls live in the remote Wanqing Courtyard, how did the Second Prince take a fancy to them?

In other words, with such a huge palace, what value can they have that can be used by the third princess and others?

If it is a favored concubine, it is actually reasonable, after all, you can also get some useful information from Shen Fu, or blow the pillow or something, but the two girls have not even seen their prince's face for three years. back.

If it is for the two of them to help find out if Shen Fu likes someone, then there is no need for the second prince to come out as a sacrifice (seduction)?It's too good to be useful, isn't it?

Besides, except for Miss Zhou's fiancée, the main obstacle has been removed, and the rest, even if Shen Fu accepts a side concubine, are they still not threatening in the eyes of the third princess?

When Zhou Heng was thinking hard, Shen Yi was also thinking about it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Not for anything else, in light of years of experience in house fighting in the Marquis of Weiyuan, Shen Yi firmly felt that, instead of thinking about the outcome, why would the two concubines who have returned to no one know where their souls are now, why they were killed? The second prince and the others are killing people, but they still have to burn the corpse to wipe out the traces. Hmph, it's not because of something while the second prince is going to the palace to escape the summer heat, nor is it because of a natural disaster while the thunderstorm night is good, don't even think about it. The three of them have no experience, but I understand it all too well:

It must be that the backyard of the two lowly maidservants is lonely, and the second prince of the current dynasty came to use himself as a bait, so he was blinded by the glory and wealth, and had thoughts that he shouldn't have. , I want to use this as a threat to come to the sky and fly to the branches to become a phoenix!
