The favorite of the Nongmen group: the female supporting role is a full-level boss

Su Wan said very calmly: "What are you afraid of? The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." She looked in the direction of the palace and curled her lips: "Now it's Qinglan who brought out the dowry. She slapped the royal family in the face. I have nothing to do with it.”

Xiao Tao was confused and couldn't understand the meaning of Su Wan's last sentence.

Su Wan touched her forehead and said without explaining, "Go and prepare the carriage."

"Miss..." Xiao Tao felt uneasy in her heart, and when she saw Su Wan's confident and determined eyes, she thought she had a plan in mind. All the panic was suppressed in her heart, and she hurriedly went to ask someone to hitch the carriage, for fear of delaying Su Wan's plan.

Xiaotao was young and worked quickly, and soon Su Wan got on the carriage.

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiao Tao opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

"Enter the palace." Su Wan said casually: "Stop Qinglan from filing a petition."

Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around and signaled to a boy that she didn't need to ask the old lady for help.

The carriage sped towards the palace.

Xiao Taoxin raised her voice, opened the curtains, and stared at the carriage that was about to catch up soon. Her eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss, Madam's carriage is in front of you. We can catch up soon!"

"Really?" Su Wan raised the curtain on the other side of the car, and as expected, she could catch up with a little more effort.

Xiao Tao excitedly patted the carriage wall and told the coachman: "Hurry up and stop Madam's carriage."

When Su Wan saw that the carriage in front seemed to have noticed them, it suddenly accelerated and squinted her eyes: "No, keep this distance."

"???" Xiao Tao was confused and didn't understand what Su Wan meant: "Miss, aren't we going to stop Madam?"

"Yeah, I didn't stop you." Su Wanhun didn't care.

Xiao Tao looked at Su Wan aggrievedly, her eyes full of resentment.

Su Wan didn't explain. She raised her hand and pinched Xiao Tao's face: "Be good."

Xiao Tao's eyes widened and her cheeks turned red instantly.

Su Wan took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, took out a fingernail-sized amount of powder, and spread it evenly on the cuff.

The carriage just stopped.

Su Wan jumped out of the carriage first and said to Xiao Tao who got out of the carriage, "You stay here and wait for me to come back."

With the jade tablet in hand, Su Wan entered the palace unimpeded.

——

On the other side, Qinglan has entered the palace and arrived at the Yangxin Hall.

"Eunuch Li, I have something to ask you to see the emperor. Please let me know." Qinglan took out a money bag and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand.

Eunuch Li has a white face and no beard, holding a fly whisk in his hand. He is the eunuch who is the confidant of Emperor Jing, and the eunuch who holds the seal.

He pushed the money bag back and said with a smile: "The emperor is meeting with the Taoist priest. Let's go and let him know."

Qinglan burst into tears of gratitude.

Eunuch Li knocked on the door and entered the Yangxin Hall.

In the center of the Yangxin Hall, there is a short table and two yellow futons. Emperor Jing is sitting cross-legged on the futons. The short table lights a few incense sticks and candles. The smoke clouds obscure his expression clearly.

The Taoist priest sat cross-legged opposite and placed a red elixir in front of Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, this is the elixir that was refined this morning. It can prolong life."

"Every time I take the elixir, my body feels a little younger than before, my spirit is very good, and I don't feel tired as easily as before." Emperor Jing trusted the Taoist Master very much and took out the elixir to eat.

"The Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor, and with the blessing of God, the effect of the elixir can be maximized. The poor Taoist will step aside first, so as not to disturb the Emperor's practice." The Taoist priest bowed and left.

Eunuch Li and others left, and then he reported: "Your Majesty, Madam Dingyuan Marquis wants to see you."

Emperor Jing looked worried: "If anything happens, ask her to find the queen or the regent."

Eunuch Li watched Emperor Jing stand up. His black hair was already mixed with white hair, but he looked like he was in his fifties despite being in his forties. The eyelids were black and the lips were dark purple, making the whole person look very gloomy.

Eunuch Li lowered his eyes and spoke in a very low voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. The fact that the Crown Princess is the daughter of Dingyuan Marquis spread all over the city yesterday. Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis may have come here for this matter. "

"A daughter from a foreign concubine?" Emperor Jing looked gloomy and said very displeasedly: "The regent has never told me. He only said that Su Jihong's stepdaughter's father was a scholar. If this is the case, even if this daughter has national destiny, she will pursue immortality for me. The way is beneficial, and the royal family cannot be criticized for it.”

Eunuch Li's eyes flashed, Emperor Jing was dissatisfied with Su Mixue, and now there were only two ways. One is to abolish the crown princess, or to depose (chù) the crown prince.

"Do you want to see her?"

Emperor Jing asked: "Where is the prince?"

Eunuch Li replied: "The prince is going to Guangling Mansion."

Emperor Jing pondered for a while, then flicked his sleeves and said, "Let her come in."

"Yes." Eunuch Li exited and said to Qinglan, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Qinglan didn't dare to show off in front of Eunuch Li, so she thanked him, tidied up her appearance, and then stepped into the Hall of Cultivation of Heart. He looked at the ground under his feet, not daring to look directly at Long Yan, and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for my wife. The legitimate daughter of my wife's family returned to Beijing and hated the crown prince for taking away her engagement and spreading rumors about her. She is the daughter of a concubine born to the Marquis. Today, she is even slandering her to steal her dowry and make it for the Crown Princess."

"The Marquis is lying on the bed with his life and death uncertain. She is a good doctor, but she refuses to treat the Marquis. She forces the courtier to hand over her dowry. If she does not hand over the dowry in full, she will make a fuss known to everyone. The royal family seized her dowry."

"My wife has been wronged and her reputation is nothing more than that. She wants to smear the royal family. I have no choice but to come to the palace to ask you to make the decision to stop her from doing whatever she wants. Don't let the matter get out of hand just because of her anger." "

When Emperor Jing heard what she said, his temples swelled and hurt, and he pressed his fingers on his forehead: "Su Mixue is Su Jihong's biological daughter, and the daughter of your late husband."

Qinglan quibbled: "My wife did not..."

Emperor Jing: "It is a capital crime to deceive the emperor and ignore your superiors!"

Qinglan's face turned pale, and tears flowed from her eyes. She didn't dare to hide or tell the truth. Lihua sobbed with tears: "I and my wife had a one-night stand with the Marquis, and later the old lady used it to seduce the master. For this crime, I drove my wife out of the prince's mansion. After I returned home, my mother married me to my deceased husband. Soon after we got married, I found out that I was pregnant. My wife didn't know who the biological father of the princess was. "

Emperor Jing felt that Marquis Dingyuan was really confused, marrying such a despicable person and causing such a lot of trouble.

But then I thought about who Marquis Dingyuan's first wife was, and decided to calm down the turmoil.

Emperor Jing's brain throbbed, as if a sharp knife had cut out the nerves and the pain was excruciating. He said in a cold voice: "Go back, and I will put an end to the rumors outside. If she makes trouble again about the dowry, I will give you justice." "

Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank the emperor for his kindness.

"That's nonsense!" Su Wan ignored the obstruction of the chamberlain, broke into the Yangxin Palace, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this is a one-sided statement from my stepmother. I asked her for a dowry, but what kind of dowry. She told you the truth. Say?"
