Xie Ping knelt in the ancestral hall for the entire night.
Yun Chou did not allow anyone to send food, not even a sip of water.
He looked into the ancestral hall from the small window and was heartbroken to see Xie Ping kneeling softly on the ground.
She stuffed most of the silver she had earned from doing embroidery work in recent days into the hands of the gatekeeper's granny, walked in with her food box, and whispered, "Sister Ping'er, Mother's here, so eat something quickly."
Xie Ping raised her head and grabbed He's hand, asking eagerly, "How's it going, is there any movement?"
He advised, "The day has just dawned, there will not be movement so soon, you eat something first, don't boil your body down."
Xie Ping where to eat, all over the body is uncomfortable, uncomfortable is temporary, she is afraid of this matter does not have a good result.
At this time, the granny outside the door suddenly spoke, "Aunt He, it seems like there's a guest in the mansion, you should hurry!"
A light emerged in Xie Ping's eyes, "It must be that King Anjing has sent someone, Auntie, go out and ask for information."
He barked a few words and immediately walked out of the ancestral hall, heading towards the front yard.
There was indeed a guest in the front yard, a Sister from the palace, Sister Tang, the beloved one beside Consort De, one of the four consorts of the Harem.
Sister Tang saluted the Xie family one by one, she was a big red person beside Consort De, how dare the Xie family accept her salute, and hurriedly looked at the seat to serve tea.
"The reason why our prince was at Qing'an Temple was to pray for the blessings of His Highness the Crown Prince, and during this time, he has been copying Buddhist scriptures day in and day out, clearing his mind of all desires, and it is definitely impossible for him to do that kind of absurdity." Sister Tang's voice was tinged with coldness, "Lord Xie went to the Royal Historian's Office last night, and Young Master Xie wandered around the entrance of the Da Lisi all night with his men, what is this about?"
The old lady in the Xie family that is to say one thing, but this see the palace to the Sister of the overbearing, froze a word can not say.
Yun Chu smiled, "What Sister Tang means is that the responsibility for King An Jing doing something like that at the feet of the Buddha is all on my daughter's head, is it? Originally, my Xie family was still considering whether or not to ask the Secretary of the Da Lisi to administer justice, but now it seems very necessary."
Sister Tang's expression froze.
I wanted to put on a high profile and pinch the Xie family first, but I didn't expect that this Mrs. Xie would not give Consort De any face at all.
But think about it is also understandable, this Mrs. Xie is the first eldest daughter of the general's house, General Yun hand in hand, she backed by the Yun family, where will be afraid of a consort.
Sister Tang pulled out a sheepskin white jade from her sleeve and eased her tone, "This is the jade pendant that Empress Dowager De has carried for more than twenty years, she specially asked me to bring it to bestow on Eldest Miss Xie, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cured, our Empress will ask the Ministry of Ceremonies to arrange for Eldest Miss Xie to be taken as the Side Concubine of King Anjing."
Old Mrs. Xie was overjoyed, it seemed that the position of side consort was saved.
Although Ping's days would be difficult in the future, at least the Xie family had hitched a ride with the Anjing Royal House, and Jingyu's immediate predicament was solved.
Xie Jingyu sank his eyebrows.
Last night he went to the Royal Historian's Office, An Ge'er traveled to the Da Lisi, and Yun Chu made a trip to the Yun family, in an attempt to borrow the power of these three to oppress Concubine De.
Concubine De had made concessions, but at most she could only give a position as a side consort.
In fact, he could understand Consort De, because Ping's status really didn't afford to be the crown princess.
"This jade pendant is too valuable, I, Xiefu, do not dare to accept it." While he was thinking, Yun Chu spoke up, "Can you trouble Sister Tang to request Consort De to ask the eunuch for her daughter to diagnose her pulse, after my daughter returned to the house yesterday, she cut off her water and hunger, and she has sought to die many times, and now she is out of breath more and in breath less ..."
Sister Tang's face was ugly.
This Mrs. Xie was trying to tell her that if Concubine De could only give the position of side consort, then Eldest Miss Xie would seek death.
A lowly hoof that seduced Prince Anjing, would have died without pity, but, the Xie family did not think so, if Miss Xie died, the Xie family was afraid that it would turn upside down.
She stood up and took the jade pendant back, "Our matron will definitely give the Xie residence an explanation for this matter, and please ask Lord Xie to keep this matter quiet, I will return to the palace first to resume my duties."
Sister Tang soon left the Xie family.
"Ma'am, this move will surely make Consort De furious." Xie Jingyu frowned and said, "Consort De gave birth to two princesses before having King Anjing, and has always favored him, the Xie family calculated King Anjing, not to mention, but also wanting the position of the princess, Consort De is afraid that she won't let go of the Xie family easily, I don't know if madam has any back up moves?"
The Xie family's eyes all fell on Yun Chou's head.
Yunchu spoke in a faint voice: "Husband still needs to be more concerned about the affairs of the court when he has time, now that the Crown Prince is seriously ill, the Emperor has decided that it is King Anjing who has done this, and only by taking the initiative of marrying a woman from a low family can the Emperor be cleansed of his suspicions, and Concubine De won't be unable to understand this reasoning."
The old lady pursued, "What if Consort De prefers not to?"
"Then we can only say that Consort De is stupid and can't see the situation." Yunchu sneered, "With such a stupid mother consort, King Anjing won't be able to do much in the future, and Ping's sister might as well not marry."
When she said that, the old lady didn't dare to ask anything else, and if she asked more, it seemed to look like she was stupid too.
After Sister Tang left Xie's house, she went straight back to the palace and reported the matter in detail to Consort De.
Consort De was so angry that she smashed all the cups.
"How is it that Old Four doesn't have any brains at all!" She was so angry that her head ached, "He was even counted by a girl whose hair hadn't grown up, or in a place like the Buddhist Sect, or at a time when the Emperor was punishing him for contemplating his life, it's nothing for him to be angry at me, but I'm afraid of being so angry that the Emperor punished him to go to the fiefdom, which is so far away, so cold, and so barren, so how can he stand that suffering!"
"Your Highness, calm your anger." Sister Tang bowed her head and said, "Thinking about it from another angle, this is not a way to break the situation."
Concubine De said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Now that the Emperor suspects that His Highness is vying for the crown prince position, that's why His Highness was punished to go to the Qing An Temple to pray for blessings." Sister Tang opened her mouth and slowly said, "Although our prince was framed, as long as the Emperor and Empress determine this, they will not easily allow the prince to leave Qing An Temple. If Your Highness takes the initiative to seek to marry a lowly woman as the rightful royal consort for His Highness, it would be like telling the Emperor that our prince does not have the heart to fight for the throne, and His Highness would naturally be released back."
Concubine De knew this, but she was still unwilling, "Even if it's a lowly woman, it can't be that bitchy hoof!"
"That Mrs. Xie of the Xie family, is the first daughter of the Yun family, if she is determined to make a big deal out of this, Your Highness is afraid that you won't be able to return to the capital for the rest of your life." Sister Tang advised, "When that Eldest Miss Xie becomes the crown princess, she will still be at the mercy of you, Your Highness, and then find a suitable excuse to abolish her position as the crown princess, which isn't worth much."
Princess De clenched her back teeth in their grooves.
If the Xie family makes a big deal out of this, a casual check will reveal that there are countless good women in the backyard of the Anjing King's residence, and the Anjing King is afraid that he will be drowned in spittle.
Although they don't compete for the throne, they can't be a king who is spurned by the common people.
Come to think of it, there seemed to be only one way to go in front of me.
Concubine De could only get up, change her clothes, and head to Kunning Palace where the Empress resided.
