Chapter 682 Risk
Everyone knows the truth, but who can really watch their loved ones die?
In the end, Mrs. Zhang chose to come to Yancheng for help. She felt that since those people were willing to let them leave easily, they must not be too cold-blooded. What she asked for was just a few medicinal herbs. For Princess Ding,
It was a simple matter. She could tell Princess Ding and leave a letter to someone she trusted. If the people in Prince Ding's palace wanted to kill her to silence her, the imposter would definitely be exposed to the world. In this case, those people would have scruples.
But he didn't expect that the old nanny would chase after her after knowing her plan, and she didn't expect that she would be caught in Yancheng Mansion Office without even seeing Princess Ding in person.
Zhu Ying was now in a dilemma. This matter was a shocking secret in the grand scheme of things, but it was not too serious if he thought about it carefully. Based on the experience of Princess Ding marrying Prince Ding, he was almost certain that this was the case.
Ninth, Prince Ding planned it himself. Otherwise, even if someone successfully impersonates Miss Meng, the chance of becoming Princess Ding or marrying another powerful person is slim. After all, she is an unpopular concubine raised in the countryside, no matter how outstanding she is.
, and it is difficult to marry into a high family.
This woman may be the woman that King Ding likes, but her status is too humble and she really can't match the prince's family. King Ding didn't want his beloved to be wronged as a concubine, so he thought of this way.
The problem now is that although impersonation is a serious crime, upon closer inspection, it is not a crime that harms the country or the people.
With Prince Ding's current low status, if he really wants to be exposed, the court will be shocked. Someone will definitely make a big fuss about this matter and take the opportunity to suppress Prince Ding. Disputes in the court will resume. If Prince Ding is really driven to a dead end, there is no telling what will happen.
Chaos, the current Zhou court cannot withstand any major turmoil.
The master next to him was sweating coldly when Zhang Wang said that he was the real Meng Xiaofu. He deeply regretted why he didn't dissuade the adults in time to secretly investigate Prince Ding's palace. Now that the matter has been found out, how should he deal with the aftermath?
King Ding is really not someone to be trifled with, and it is not a matter of asking for orders for the people, so there is no need to investigate.
But some secrets can easily kill people if they are known. Now we have to pretend that we have not let Zhang Wang go. This Wang family can be frightened by an adult and escape from such an important matter with just a few words. Obviously, he is not a person who can keep it.
The secret person, if she is released, she might tell Princess Ding about the matter and bring trouble to you. If you don't let her go, you can't kill people in Prince Ding's house and silence them. You will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, but
It's really hard to get off the tiger.
Zhu Ying couldn't make a decision for a while, so he could only lock up Zhang Wang and think carefully before making a decision.
Returning to the inner chamber, Zhu Ying couldn't help sighing. He usually rarely regretted solving cases, and he was not afraid of offending the powerful, but this time, what kind of thing was this? Since he became an official, he had solved many bizarre cases, including sisters marrying each other, and prostitutes pretending to be good families.
There are many women and so on. The most troublesome thing is this kind of case. Although it violates the law, it is actually not harmful.
It must be dealt with impartially. Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant can get a good deal, and the two families are at odds with each other and have lost money. Therefore, in most cases, negotiation is possible as much as possible. Two people who have become husband and wife should continue to live together if they can manage it. In the folk, ordinary people marry a daughter-in-law and do it once
Marriage is not easy, just make do with what you can, and those who suffer the most can only make up for it elsewhere, so that everyone is better off.
Now, should we treat this as ignorance and let them just make mistakes?
Mrs. Zhu saw that her husband was troubled, so she asked the reason.
Zhu Yingdu also liked to listen to his wife's opinion when it came to matters involving women. Although this matter was of great importance, he still told Mrs. Zhu the truth.
Mrs. Zhu thought for a moment, and her expression changed on the spot.
"Madam, what's wrong? Did it scare you?" Zhu Ying felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have told his wife such an annoying thing.
"Yes, it's a little bit. After all, the power of the king is now in the hands of everyone. If he finds out... I'm afraid we..." Madam Zhu suppressed the words "silence".
"This is indeed a terrible thing, but Madam, you don't have to worry too much. Now the Zhang Wang family is imprisoned in the Yamen. If Prince Ding wants to kill her, there are too many people and he won't be able to kill her." Zhu Ying comforted Madam,
"In order to determine the king's conduct and behavior,
Feng would definitely not do such a reckless thing, and in the worst case, he would give us a warning, even if he refused to admit it, Meng would also be paralyzed in bed, and the Meng family would be defeated. As long as the two families fight to death, there is no such thing.
This matter is almost impossible to prove."
"Yes!" Mrs. Zhu's face was still very pale.
She is a woman, and women think more about some things than men, and are more sensitive. For a person like Ding Wang, every move he makes is a topic of concern to the inner circle. Ladies often bring it up in their chats, and the most talked about ones are some of Ding Wang’s past.
Romantic affairs and the like, when she heard that Princess Ding was not the daughter of the Meng family, her first reaction was, who is Princess Ding?
Marrying into the royal family under an impersonation is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The consequences are very serious. Isn't it just a status? There are many cases of wealthy families spoiling their concubines and destroying their wives. Besides, Prince Ding doesn't even have a wife. He has always been romantic. Who does he really like?
, just keep him in the backyard as his favorite, and don't marry a real wife. At most, he will be chewed behind his back. There is no need to take such a big risk. King Ding can stand in his current position, and he is not a confused person.
What is the identity of this person pretending to be a young lady from the Meng family? She would rather risk the crime of deceiving the emperor than to pretend to be someone else. It is very likely that she is not just from a humble background.
A man who looks romantic on the surface is very scary once he becomes infatuated. He will do anything. Recalling some of the romantic love stories of Prince Ding that she heard before, she had an unknown thought in her heart. What if the true identity of Princess Ding is
If there's a big problem, let alone silencing them, it's just... it's possible.
Mrs. Zhu concealed her inner shock and did not dare to tell Zhu Ying her guess. However, she could not calm down. After thinking about it, she went to find Wang Baotou's wife, Liu'er, who used to be a maid in Prince Ding's Mansion.
Come and talk and get some news.
However, Liu'er has experienced a lot and is no longer the naive and silly girl she used to be. Besides, people who are not thoughtful don't talk much. She knows clearly what should be said and what shouldn't be said. In the past,
When I was in the palace, the steward gave me many warnings, and chewing was taboo in the palace.
Tongue, trouble comes from the mouth, do more and talk less. Before being let out, Xue Niang also solemnly confessed that after being let out, when others ask about the affairs of the palace, don't say too much, no matter how small it is. If you can't avoid it, just talk about yourself.
