Chapter 501 The Emperor Who Is Trying to Make Things Right
King Rui raised his head with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, mother. Grandfather is fine now!"
After saying that, he stood up, walked forward and helped Concubine Xiao sit on the chaise longue.
The corners of his lips curled up with uncontrollable excitement.
"Mother, you are amazing. No wonder my grandfather asked me to come to the palace to find you as soon as the incident happened.
I thought we were doomed this time! I never expected that there would be a sudden turn of events. Hehehe… "
A smile also appeared on Concubine Xiao's face.
"My son, everything your mother does is for you!"
"Yes, I know everything."
Aunt Yao, who was waiting on the side, was even happier and laughed out loud with her lips pursed.
Liang Hengrui continued,
"Mother, this time the crisis occurred. Although we lost a small part of our private soldiers, but..."
Concubine Xiao and the other two were locked up in the inner hall of Ruyi Palace, where they were whispering and plotting how to deal with the issue of the fake silver.
**
After the elf heard the news, he hurried to report it to Fang Qingge.
At this time, Fang Qingge was sitting in a teahouse, brewing a pot of tea and having someone stir the lingering heat.
She secretly bribed the storyteller to compile the darkness of the imperial examination into a book of words about the officialdom of the previous dynasty and spread it in a veiled way.
When the endless stream of tea drinkers heard the climax, they were filled with indignation and started shouting.
"Hey? What happened to the storyteller who was beaten up after being impersonated by a scholar?"
The storyteller stroked his goat beard and said loudly,
"Dear guests, if you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter."
Having said that, he bowed to everyone and went to the bathroom.
*
The tea drinkers were so excited that they were reluctant to leave and started to chatter.
"Bah, you are not talking about the past! I heard that such a big thing happened last year.
The victim, the scholar, went to file a complaint, but was surrounded and beaten. Each time was more severe than the last, but he was beaten terribly!
"Ah? I heard about it too! It's true! See how the emperor is fair!"
"Hush! Keep your voice down. You are risking your life if you talk about the court! Stop making blind guesses! I heard that the emperor was furious and asked for a thorough investigation of the matter?!"
"Oh my! Our emperor is wise and powerful. Let's wait and see the result!"
"Yes, yes, let's all ask around together. Anyone who has any information please let us know! We must not let this matter slowly sink into oblivion!"
"It's okay! We'll ask around every day."
The tea drinkers all knew that the law does not hold everyone responsible, so they discussed the matter without any scruples, spread the news by word of mouth, and waited for the situation to develop further!
*
Fang Qingge was satisfied with what he heard. As long as the heat did not drop, the emperor would also pay attention to the results.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the elf's call, so she hurried back to her single room in the inn.
As soon as I entered the house,
The elf appeared and started meowing and talking a lot.
Finally, he said angrily,
"Master, what should we do? We thought we had brought down Prime Minister Xiao and his gang, but who knew they would turn the tables again!"
Fang Qingge pursed her lips tightly when she heard this and said angrily,
"You don't need to guess to know that it was done by Concubine Xiao's patron saint, Huang Daxian."
The elf nodded his little head,
"Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think it's that too. The arms of the three thousand private soldiers were suddenly branded with words, and it's hard to tell that they were just branded.
Alas! Unfortunately, I sneaked into the palace this time, but still couldn't find any trace of it. I don't know where this guy is hiding!"
*
Fang Qingge was also puzzled, and shook his head and asked,
"Then there is no way for the fathers of Concubine De and Concubine Xian to prove their innocence?"
"It's proven! Master, you didn't see the bloody scene!
Prime Minister Xiao scolded them for framing and shifting the blame after their private soldiers were exposed in order to help the Third Prince ascend to the throne.
Fortunately, God was merciful and prevented their plot from succeeding.
Defei's father, Lord Kang, was unable to argue with Prime Minister Xiao and was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
In order to prove his innocence, Concubine Xian's father, Lord Liu from the Ministry of War, banged his head against a pillar, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Later, Concubine De and Concubine Xian ran over, beating their chests and stamping their feet, crying and shouting for justice! "
*
Hearing this, Fang Qingge imagined the messy scene in the imperial study, and hurriedly interrupted the elf's description and asked,
"So how did the emperor deal with it later?"
The elf curled his lips and snorted,
"Master, this emperor is very evil. He was so cold-hearted and didn't hesitate at all when punishing the prince. He almost wanted to execute the prince on the spot! Humph!
But when faced with this strange and confusing incident, he became cautious and ordered Captain Li, the Imperial Guard, to thoroughly investigate the matter again.
As for Prime Minister Xiao, Lord Kang, and Lord Liu, who were involved in this case, they were only ordered to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors and wait for the results of the investigation. "
When Fang Qingge heard this, she felt angry, but at the same time she felt sorry for the prince.
A good chess game was ruined again by Concubine Xiao's patron saint!
The appearance of so many private soldiers almost seemed like a threat! And the emperor didn't know what he was thinking, and he was obviously trying to smooth things over!
She suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
I wish I could pick up a bomb and capture Prime Minister Xiao, Prince Rui and Concubine Xiao in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, it's just a thought!
*
Then the elf spoke up,
"Master, after all this, there is at least one thing that can comfort us. The Emperor spoke again after he was angry.
They said that anyone who dared to mention the issue of appointing a crown prince in the near future would be sent home. Then all the ministers shut up! "
Fang Qingge just nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Got it! Little elf, we can't influence what happens in the court. But we can still use public opinion to stir up trouble.
I'll let Steward Zhang and Captain Wang do this.
Let's go to Hou'er Hutong. Xiaoqi heard that Butler Zhang and Dali are back!"
"Ah? Master, we came at the right time this time. I was just thinking of refilling the small well in Xiao Xizi's room with spiritual spring water before I leave!"
Hearing about the spiritual spring water, Fang Qingge laughed.
"Don't worry, it won't take much to make pills. By the way, didn't you secretly inject enough for two or three years into that little well?"
The elf chattered without thinking,
"Master, who knows how long we will stay in the North!"
As soon as the words came out, the elf knew that he had said something wrong, and pretended to be aggrieved, pulling Fang Qingge's sleeve.
"Master, I was wrong! Don't take it to heart! The main reason is that the emperor's mind is too hard to guess!"
Fang Qingge gently tapped its little head and said,
"Let's go!"
*
Hou'er Hutong,
When Fang Qingge knocked on the door, she saw Dali coming to the door.
Fang Qingge smiled when she saw him. She said in a hoarse voice,
"Young man, I'm here to visit Butler Zhang. Someone has sent him a message."
"Oh! Are you looking for Uncle Zhang? He's here, please come in!"
