Chapter 1090, miscalculation, crises
Madam Zheng came very quickly and bowed to Shao Wanru after entering the door.
"Look at it, nanny, this was written by Concubine Lan?" Shao Wanru asked straight to the point.
Madam Zheng took the letter with a heavy face and took a look. After seeing the handwriting on it and a little tiny trace on the envelope, she nodded: "The princess, it is indeed the queen of Concubine Lan. There is a small trace here. The princess thinks it looks like an orchid?"
Shao Wanru took the letter and looked at it, shook her head. The mark was very shallow and small, but it didn't look like an orchid, but it seemed like it was accidentally put on it.
"Princess, please come back and take a look." Madam Zheng smiled slightly.
Shao Wanru turned the letter in her hand, and when she looked at the mark, she still looked like an orchid, but if she didn't say it, she might not be able to guess that she was completely in the cursive calligraphy and painting style.
"When I left the palace that day, Concubine Lan once said this to the old slave. In fact, on that day, Concubine Lao originally wanted to go to Prince Chen's Mansion." Madam Zheng sighed, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes, "Princess, please rest assured, Concubine Lan will never have any bad intentions to you."
"What is the relationship between Concubine Lan and the Prince?" Shao Wanru asked with a glance at Madam Zheng.
"I dare not speak nonsense about the relationship between Concubine Lan and the prince." Madam Zheng lowered her head.
Seeing her reaction like this, Shao Wanru knew that she would not say anything, so she did not force her. Gu Zi opened the letter and read it. The more he looked, the heavier his face became.
The letter mentioned above is what happened in the palace yesterday.
The Empress was scolded by the emperor in the imperial study, and Concubine De was brought into the palace by the Empress Dowager Xuan. Many people in the palace were wondering what Shao Wanru said to the Empress Dowager after entering the palace, was it a coincidence or the Empress Dowager who went to Xuan specifically.
Before her, Chengen Hou met the Empress Dowager and was scolded. The Empress Dowager was so angry that she even took action. After Chengen Hou, she only saw Shao Wanru, then the emperor, and finally the Empress Defei.
Among these people, only Shao Wanru is like a person who is out of touch with the whole situation, looks like an outsider who accidentally entered the game, and also like the most important part of the whole thing.
Concubine Lan told Shao Wanru that she should not be the first to be a leader at this time. What should be low-key? Don’t cause trouble? Chu Liuchen is not in the capital, so she needs to be more careful, and told Chu Liuchen that it is impossible to arrive in the capital on the day of the Empress Dowager’s birthday.
Shao Wanru read the letter paper in her hand twice before slowly putting it down. Her eyebrows tightly frowned. These words were not groundless.
"Princess, what important thing did Concubine Lan say?" Seeing her put down the letter, Madam Zheng said anxiously, "Is there something big? Otherwise, Concubine Lan would not be able to contact you at this time."
Shao Wanru looked at Madam Zheng in surprise, but nodded without asking for the reason, and said, "I told you about what happened in the palace yesterday. The Empress was scolded, and Concubine De was also involved. Yesterday I went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. Many people think that these things may be related to me!"
After hearing what she said, several confidants couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
"Princess, is someone deliberately pointing out the topic to you?" Yujie said.
"I think so too, why do I think this matter must be related to you?" Qu Le also said.
Shao Wanru's pink lips pursed tightly
, thinking about the Queen's affairs before, if someone secretly pushed the matter to himself and attracted all his attention, then the Queen's words were to make the matter substantial and leave those concubines behind, but to let them rumor that they were the key to everything.
The Queen’s call today is not to let herself make clear what she said to the Queen Mother. The key is to confirm this rumor and invisibly put yourself in danger.
Before reading the letter from Concubine Lan, she was a little confused. Now she immediately realized that she was in danger and was suspicious of all forces, so how could she have a good result?
"Princess, the solution should be more low-key at this time. The prince is not in the mansion, you are the only master, so you must not make any mistakes." Madam Zheng looked even more nervous than Shao Wanru, and her face turned slightly pale, which shows that she was really panicked.
This is not the first time that two maids were panicked when they saw Madam Zheng, who had always been calm. Yujie and Qule's faces immediately became less likely to look good.
"Princess, you should pretend to be sick!" Yujie thought of an idea and said.
Madam Zheng shook her head: "No, it's too deliberate, it makes people even more suspicious. And if someone wants to deal with the princess, even if the princess pretends to be sick, she can do it."
It is too far-fetched to pretend to be sick at this time. When there was nothing in the past, if the princess pretended to be sick, it would be nothing. At most, the Queen Mother and Xu Xin would not have to be the Queen Mother.
But now is not the best time.
"Then avoid it first, don't stay in this mansion, go to the Grand Princess Mansion?" When he heard that someone might come to deal with the princess, Qu Le was so scared that he reached out to hold Shao Wanru's sleeve and said, "Princess, let's go to the Grand Princess Mansion. There are many guards in the Grand Princess Mansion!"
If the prince is there, of course there is no need to care, but now there is only the princess in the mansion, so Qule is really worried.
"Not even possible. Avoid the Grand Princess' Mansion, and may bring disaster to the Grand Princess. Although the Grand Princess' Mansion also has guards, those guards are far inferior to the guards of the Prince Chen Mansion!"
Madam Zheng objected again.
"This one doesn't work, that one doesn't work, but what should I do? I can't watch something happen to the princess!" Qu Le was anxious to cry.
When I didn't say it before, I didn't think that now, after hearing Mama Zheng's analysis, Qu Le felt that there were shadows around him, and it was simply unsafe anywhere.
Shao Wanru calmed down and thought for a while and said, "I won't go anywhere, I'm in the Palace of King Chen. I don't need to paint maple leaves, just the table screen!"
The table screen was embroidered by Shao Wanru, and it was also used as a gift that I had prepared early on. A painting was a little less, and it would be more thoughtful to present a table screen. At present, this maple leaf painting is the key to everything. It would be better not to take it out.
"The table screen, and some other treasures are added, just treat it as a gift to the Empress Dowager."
Such a gift is neither prominent nor shabby, and it also looks very considerate, but it is not particularly conspicuous. It is a necessary gift for her as her grandson-in-law.
Without the part of maple leaf painting, at least people can doubt themselves less.
This time, I was a mistake. I originally didn't want Chu Liuchen to be sad. Chu Liuchen always cared about the Empress Dowager who loved him and protected him, but he didn't expect that he would be burned to death now. I can only say that the water in this matter was too deep. She had been the first to do so.
According to a few knowledges in the past life, I thought too shallowly.
Now she can only make up for it.
"Princess, what if someone comes to the mansion to deal with you?" Yujie was still worried. Even if the birthday ceremony was arranged properly, other aspects would not work.
There are not many guards in the palace now. Chu Liuchen told Shao Wanru before leaving that, as for the people below, some of them are in the hands of the butler, and told her to use them in critical moments, but Shao Wanru didn't want to use these hands to protect herself at this time.
This will make people notice more about Chu Liuchen. She cannot let Chu Liuchen fall into danger because of her own negligence.
When the road ahead is unknown, there are so many people who secretly spy on it. Chu Liuchen is also known as incorrect and dissatisfied. At this time, exposing his strength to others will bring him danger.
"Madam Zheng, I know what to do. Don't worry, you go back first, don't go anywhere tonight. Work with Madam Yu to restrain the rest of the house. Something may happen tonight. Don't panic. I will ask the butler to arrange everything, and there will be no danger."
Shao Wanru comforted them.
"Princess, really won't be a problem?" Madam Zheng was obviously not comforted. Looking at the little princess with a little childish look in front of her, Madam Zheng was really worried.
Although the princess is not as weak as she looks, she is just a girl who is not as good as her hair. She is so old and has been raised in the boudoir, so she has never experienced such dangers.
"Don't worry, Madam Zheng, I will let the butler make the decision in the end. Even if I don't have any ideas, won't there be a butler?" Shao Wanru said calmly.
Seeing her so calm and stable, Yujie and Qule were relieved, and even a smile appeared on their faces. The princess would definitely have a way, so they didn't have to panic.
Only Madam Zheng felt worried, and thought about it and said, "Princess, if you have no choice, I will go to the palace to ask Empress Lan. I will ask if you can go to the palace to hide in Empress Lan. I will protect you and will not hurt you!"
"Forget it, Concubine Lan is in trouble. Concubine Lan herself has caused trouble. If you have the extra effort to protect me, something will inevitably happen. Don't worry, Madam Zheng, I won't have any trouble." Shao Wanru refused with a smile.
If Concubine Lan really had nothing to do, she would not have been locked up by the emperor for so many years. Although the emperor had never had nothing to do with her, she was locked up tightly and was not free. Shao Wanru didn't think it was a good way to go into the palace to ask Concubine Lan. Besides, why did she enter the palace and why she found Concubine Lan, she would definitely have some more words and reasons.
Since she was unwilling to leave Prince Chen's Mansion, she must have a reason not to leave, and there was also a reason that those who secretly wanted to attack her could no longer attack.
Madam Zheng was persuaded to leave, Qing'er and the butler were found. After hearing Shao Wanru talk about the cause and effect of the matter, the butler's face immediately changed. He had been through the palace for a long time, so he naturally knew that Shao Wanru's current situation was not good.
