Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 217 Awkward Conversation

Her tone made everyone present stunned.

The most calm person was Queen Wei, and the other turned out to be Shangguan Hu.

Because Queen Wei was used to it, Queen Wei was still worried about that incident all these years, for fear that those people would want revenge and seek justice for their general.

And Shangguan Hu is well-informed. The Shangguan family has experienced too many of these things for generations.

The road to power is always paved with thorns and blood.

No one can count how many bones there are under the dragon chair.

"I did bring some things, but my grandson should also go see his aunt. After all, he was able to go to that place and learn so many skills from them, and it was also his aunt's recommendation." Xiao Changfeng did not hide anything.

His words frightened even King An.

The atmosphere was originally quite good, but the Queen Mother's inappropriate question and his even more inappropriate answer only made the topic even more taboo.

Seeing their appearance, Cui Lijuan did not stop them or remind Xiao Changfeng.

She knew that her son was a well-informed person. Since he dared to say this, he dared to bear the responsibility and consequences.

She didn't want her son to deliberately cater to anyone, especially between the eldest princess and the queen mother. There was no way to untie the knot, and there was no need for him to hurt the eldest princess's heart just to worry about what the queen mother would think.

Over the years, the Queen Mother said that she wanted to compensate the eldest princess, but she did not dare to listen to anything about General Ma. How could this satisfy the eldest princess?

"I have also met those people. They are indeed quick-talking and capable. With them at the border, they get along well with our border people." Shangguan Hu actually spoke at this time.

His words made it impossible for the Queen Mother to get angry.

Finally, she looked at Xiao Changfeng and said: "Changfeng is right, your aunt has also missed them a lot these years... After all, she was the confidant of the consort back then..."

Hearing her say this, King An felt goose bumps.

It has been many years since I heard the word "husband-in-law" come out of my mother's mouth.

Although many years have passed, that person has always been a taboo in the mother's heart.

"That's right, although the imperial sister didn't say it, she is a long-term person. She has been guarding the things left by the prince-in-law all these years. She must also be thinking about the people who were once the prince-in-law, and she wants to know how they are doing."

Queen Wei also added a helpful sentence to further alleviate the negative atmosphere caused by the Queen Mother's attitude just now.

Shangguan Hu looked like he was completely unaware of what was going on, and said very cooperatively: "I have long heard that the eldest princess of Daxia is a hero among women, and she has quite a personality. I have always wanted to visit her, but I have no chance. No, I wonder if I can, thanks to Brother Changfeng, meet the eldest princess today."

King An said at this time: "There is no way to guarantee this. The emperor has been living in seclusion these years and doesn't like the excitement..."

Shangguan Hu was not worried, but said: "It doesn't matter. If you don't have this fate, you can't force it."

This topic passed quickly.

The Queen Mother did not regain her energy until it was time to eat, and she looked very worried.

After dinner, King An was worried that the Queen Mother had been depressed, so he asked Cui Lijuan and the others to leave the palace first. He accompanied the Queen Mother, saying that he wanted to talk about something between mother and son.

Cui Lijuan did not refuse. Although King An was older, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he was still the most considerate and caring one, and was more sensible than the two older ones.

Queen Wei didn't stay either. There were so many things in the palace that she needed to deal with, and she couldn't always stay here.

After Cui Lijuan took Xiao Changfeng and Shangguan Hu out of the palace, she asked: "Are you going directly to the eldest princess's mansion, or are you going back first?"

"When I come out in the morning, the gift for my aunt is ready, so just go there." Xiao Changfeng said.

"Okay, go to the morning meeting early and don't disturb your aunt for too long." Cui Lijuan said very considerately.

When Shangguan Hu accompanied Xiao Changfeng to the eldest princess's mansion, he said casually: "Brother Changfeng, your mother-in-law's character is really gentle. To be honest, she is really different from the princess I imagined."

Xiao Changfeng understood what he meant without asking him to explain: "Yes, the princesses you have met must be high-profile enough. They are either bossy, domineering, or tough as men. Suddenly seeing my mother and concubine like this, in fact, It’s really a woman who is suitable for the back house, gentle and steady, but it’s a bit strange.”

Shangguan Hu smiled and nodded: "That's what you mean, but what I'm more interested in is your sister-in-law. She is so young. Where did her medical skills come from? And the deeds we have heard before are indeed not true. It’s so in line with common sense that I even wonder if God has given her some special sanity.”

If others say that they are interested in their sister-in-law, they must be acting like a coward.

Xiao Changfeng knew Shangguan Hu, he was not that kind of person.

Not to mention Shangguan Hu, even he himself thought his sister-in-law was a very magical person.

From the letter written by his mother-in-law to him, every line is full of fresh feelings about this sister-in-law. Even the mother-in-law, who is as stable as the mother-in-law, can feel her excitement and curiosity through the rigid letter.

"You don't think she is the daughter of the person you are looking for, right? Her mother has been dead for many years. Although her age is consistent, if you had any doubts, you should have checked it out long ago. "

Xiao Changfeng said directly that he also knew the Shangguan family itself.

Shangguan Hu nodded: "Yes, I have learned something before. Shu's business is in Daxia, and they are merchants. This is completely different from when that person left. The most important thing is that her surname is not Zang."

"What if she realized she was in danger when she ran away, so she just did the opposite?" Xiao Changfeng asked.

"No, no one knows this code. It is also the most direct signal that she recognizes her relatives. She has always been obedient and believed in her code, so she and the deceased Shu must not be the same person. What we are looking for People don't come across so easily. If it were such a coincidence, I would have found him over the years."

When Xiao Changfeng heard this, he naturally believed this statement.

"Although I saw the emperor today, he didn't mention asking the Ministry of Revenue for help. It seems that you have other plans." Xiao Changfeng said again.

Shangguan Hu chuckled: "Today is the day you finally come back. You need to talk to your family. I can take my time with my affairs. After all, I won't leave in a hurry."

When Xiao Changfeng heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case.

Unknowingly, they had arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.

The gatekeeper obviously knew Xiao Changfeng: "Third Young Master, you are back."

"I want to take my friend to meet my aunt, could you please let me know." Xiao Changfeng was also very polite.

But the gatekeeper said: "No need, the eldest princess has already said that when the third young master arrives, just lead him in directly."
