Chapter 740 Royal Reputation
Four Princes' Palace.
The Queen sent someone to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to invite the Fourth Prince's Consort into the palace. After confirming again and again, the butler invited her to the living room before going out from the backyard. The butler did not go directly to report to Zhang Yurou, but went directly to Xie Yang's yard.
After hearing this, Xie Yang said in a deep voice, "The Queen invites the Princess to the palace."
The housekeeper said, "Yes, I heard from the eunuch that the princess was invited to the palace to discuss how to teach the little princess to read. The eunuch said that the little princess was punished by Master Jiang to stand again, and she still couldn't recite the Three Character Classic. The little princess is six years old, and it's not good if she can't read. It will damage the reputation of the royal family."
Xie Yang said coldly: "What royal reputation?"
The housekeeper had no choice but to say, "These words should be what the Queen asked the eunuch to tell the princess. He told me everything before he met the princess."
Anger flashed in Xie Yang's eyes. "I'm afraid Jiang Fenghua deliberately sent someone to pass on the message. Now they found out that Jin Ji didn't kill Madam Li."
The housekeeper's eyes were full of worry: "My Lord, I am worried..."
"Why worry? They can't find anything on me. Jiang Fenghua has sent someone to ask Zhang Yurou to come to the palace. I'm afraid he knows that Shu Xue has been to the Fourth Prince's Mansion." Xie Yang said, "Go and inform the princess and ask her to come to the palace to see the queen."
Butler Chang was just about to leave when Xie Yang said again, "I will go and talk to her in person." He was still a little worried.
Xie Yang came to Zhang Yurou's yard. The servant was about to report. Xie Yang dismissed everyone and quietly entered the house.
Zhang Yurou was seen dressing up in front of the mirror alone. She had put on beautiful rouge and bright lipstick. She had willow-shaped eyebrows and an oval face. She looked beautiful even when she was dressed up. Xie Yang said coldly, "Who is in the mirror? She has such a sweet smile."
Zhang Yurou was so frightened when she saw him suddenly appear behind her that she stood up suddenly, her face turning from red to white, "Why is the prince here?"
Xie Yang looked her up and down, smelling the faint scent of plum blossoms on her body, "Thinking about the man you like."
Zhang Yurou's face turned cold, "I didn't."
"Look, you still don't admit it. I didn't say who that man was. Why are you so anxious to deny it?"
Zhang Yurou sat back in front of the dressing mirror. "The prince came to find me so unhappy early in the morning. Is that interesting?"
Xie Yang flipped through the book on the table, which was a collection of poems. He sneered, "Isn't it a bit late to start reciting poems at such an old age? There will be many banquets in the palace in the future. It would be better to memorize more poems in your mind so as not to embarrass yourself."
Zhang Yurou couldn't stand his sarcasm and ridicule. "If you are here to criticize me, I will just take it."
She looked like she was compromising. Now she and Xie Yang were in the same boat, and he didn't dare to do anything to her.
Xie Yang said: "Pack up and go to the palace. Dress up nicely. The emperor may want to see you."
Zhang Yurou was not happy that he spoke like that. She had not done anything to let Xie Yang down, but he had been treating her in a weird way just because she once liked Xie Shang. She had received news from the Zhang Mansion that the Zhang family and Xie Yang were in collusion. Her father said that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.
She said: "How could the emperor see me? Why would he want to see me? Did the emperor know about your affairs? Shu Xue's death has nothing to do with me."
"How can it have nothing to do with you? It was you who instructed Shu Xue to spread rumors about Jiang Jinyan and Concubine Han. It was you who helped Concubine Su escape from Shengjing and kidnapped Jiang Fenghua for her. What was your purpose in doing this? Do you want to flatter Jiang Fenghua and then marry Xie Shang to be the queen?" Xie Yang's face was full of ridicule. "Zhang Yurou, don't you see how much you weigh? Xie Shang rejected you back then, and now he still looks down on you. Is there any meaning in what you do?"
"You..." Zhang Yurou's eyes were filled with fear, "You know everything, you..."
At this time, Zhang Yurou finally understood that Xie Yang had known that Su Qingqing was coming to see her, and she had been hiding behind him and watching her make a fool of herself.
She was furious: "You want to rebel and seize the throne. What will happen to you if I tell the emperor?"
Xie Yang sneered: "Why do you say that? What did I do?"
Zhang Yurou suddenly felt weak all over. That day, Shu Xue came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to find her, and she happened to see Xie Yang and Minister Shu meeting and plotting, so Shu Xue died.
It was obviously Xie Yang who killed Shu Xue, why wasn't he afraid of being exposed?
If she told Xie Shang that someone wanted to seize his throne, where was the evidence? Where was the evidence of Xie Yang and Shu Lang's meeting? And what about the Zhang family? They had colluded with Xie Yang a long time ago, but she had no evidence, and she couldn't harm the Zhang family. She still had a father and a mother.
Xie Yang reminded: "Yier went to the palace to study this morning. If you dare to speak nonsense, your daughter may have a hard time in the future."
Zhang Yurou's eyes were full of shock: "Yier is also your daughter, what do you want to do to her?"
"Didn't she want Xie Shang to be her father? Whose daughter is she? Who is her real father? Zhang Yurou, you have been unable to forget him for so many years. Is it because Xie Shang is your daughter's father? You had an affair with him back then?"
Zhang Yurou was furious, "You... I'm not as shameless as you." She wanted to have something with Xie Shang, but he refused. At that time, the person he liked was Su Tingwan.
Xie Yang's eyes flashed coldly and he grabbed her neck, "This king is shameless, you are just a lowly person..."
The housekeeper heard the quarrel inside and hurried into the room to pull Xie Yang away, "Your Majesty, calm down. The princess still has to go to the palace. You can't fight!"
Xie Yang let go of her hand and said coldly, "Dress up nicely and speak well when you enter the palace. Don't forget that you are the Fourth Princess and Yi'er's mother."
Zhang Yurou was frightened to death when she saw Xie Yang's appearance. The man she married was vicious and cruel, and she shouldn't have provoked him. "I know."
The image of Shu Xue after her death flashed through her mind, and she recalled the night of the Lantern Festival when Shu Xue came to the Four Princes' Palace...
Shu Xue was also confused, "Is that woman really not Han Fei?"
Zhang Yurou said, "Whether she is Concubine Han or not, she is no longer Concubine Han. You have also seen that Queen Jiang is very powerful. Everyone helped her to lie. It was obvious that Jiang Jinyan and Concubine Han were having an affair. They deceived my cousin together. In the end, you see, she became Madam Jiang's goddaughter. They really bullied my family because we have no one and my cousin because she has no father or mother."
"When I was in the palace, I found my cousin and confirmed that she was Concubine Han. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the world. A concubine in the harem could pretend to be dead and leave the palace to become someone else's mistress. This kind of man is the most disgusting."
Shu Xue was also angry on behalf of the Fourth Princess. "Today is such a good opportunity. What's wrong with Zhang Yumo? If she cries and makes a fuss, it will prove that Jiang Jinyan has a mistress and seduced Concubine Han. The Jiang family will be finished. I am really mad. Zhang Yumo is so useless. She was bullied to the point of helping Jiang Jinyan. The emperor's concubine was abducted out of the palace, but he is not angry. It's too strange."
