Chapter 680 Questioning
"The maid also felt that it was quite sudden, but I heard that the Nangong family was suspected of rebellion and assassination of the eldest princess, so the emperor was so angry, and it was so sudden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "The palace maid told Yan Ruolan everything she had inquired about.
"Rebellion?" Yan Ruolan frowned.
"It's not, it's all spread like this outside, whether it's true or not, it's a good thing for the five princes and for us." The palace maid smiled.
"A good thing?" Yan Ruolan didn't think that a political storm would only be clean enough that there would be no other involvement, and she was a little panicked in her heart.
"Of course, it is also said outside that now that the crown prince has been deposed, then our five princes are the best candidates for the new prince, if the five princes really become the princes, then they will wait to succeed to the throne as the emperor, Niangniang, how can this be said to be a bad thing?" The palace maid said with a smile.
"Hmph, where can it be so easy, the battle for imperial power has never been easy, look at the current prince and the Nangong family, you should understand, this is not allowed to talk nonsense in the future." Yan Ruolan thought about it more deeply.
"Niangniang, it's not the slave and maid who said it alone, it's all spread like this outside, what's wrong." The palace maid was puzzled.
"Discussing the government in vain, it is a capital crime, once the upper authorities investigate it, I am afraid that this palace will not be able to protect you." Yan Ruolan said with a cold face.
"! The maidservant knew she was wrong. As soon as the palace maid heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Hey...... Get up, no matter what nonsense you talk about outside, as people from this palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't get into trouble, you know? Yan Ruolan said this to all the servants in the hall.
"It's a mother, slave and maid remember." All the minions in the temple received the command.
"Okay, go and help the palace to see where the five princes are now, if there is nothing to do, just say that the palace invited him to enjoy the paintings, go." Yan Ruolan waved her hand.
"Yes, sissy." The palace maid received the order and also went out to look for the five princes.
"Your Majesty, as you expected, after the queen received the decree, she did have the intention of committing suicide, but it was stopped by the minions in time." In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Gonggong Zhou hurriedly returned.
"Hmph, the Nangong family was exiled, the crown prince was deposed, all her hopes were gone, of course she didn't have the courage to live, but...... Give me a good look, she can't die yet! The Emperor sneered.
"Uh...... Yes, but ...... Your Majesty, the old slave has something unclear, since the evidence of the rebellion between the Nangong family and the crown prince is conclusive, why do you want to open the net and spare their lives? Father-in-law Zhou was a little puzzled.
"Hmph, Father-in-law Zhou, I said that the greatest torture in the world is not death, but life is better than death.
The Nangong family is so arrogant and vicious, and the thieves are bold, if I easily take their lives, wouldn't it be cheaper for them, I just want to watch them live rather than die, and let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know what the fate of rebellion will be.
Hehe...... Think of it as my kindness. The Emperor said this with sarcasm.
"That'...... Nangong Huo ...... "Gonggong Zhou wanted to speak and stopped.
"Huh...... It was an accident, but he also deserved it, daring to move the eldest sister, he had to let them know that he knew that it was powerful! The Emperor sneered.
"Whew...... That's right, too. Father-in-law Zhou agreed.
"By the way, what's wrong with that kid Jeong-hee?" The Emperor asked again.
"Uh...... Ay...... I heard that the little boy fell asleep when he returned home, but the little lady was frightened, and now he is awake or not, and the old slave is not very clear. Zhou Gonggong replied.
"This kid is very heroic, he dares to break into Nangong Mansion alone, hmph, it seems that the eldest sister didn't hurt him in vain." The Emperor laughed.
"Oops...... Who said it wasn't, when the slave arrived with the forbidden army, the Nangong Mansion had been almost cleaned up by the little boy, and looking at the blood flowing like a river and corpses all over the ground, the old slave's heart trembled a little.
Fortunately, the little boy was also happy, and directly took out Nangong Huo's head, which also saved the old slaves from wasting a lot of effort. Gonggong Zhou remembered a fight in Nangong Mansion last night, and he still felt palpitations.
"Hmph, I'm afraid this stinky boy has endured it for a long time." The Emperor laughed.
"It's not, how can I say that the Nangong family has also been at odds with the little boy for a while." Father-in-law Zhou also nodded.
"Huh...... This stinky boy is pretending to be public again, hey......" The emperor doesn't seem to care about Nangong Huo's death at all.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the list of people has all been monitored according to your orders, just waiting for your order." Zhou Gonggong asked.
"Don't worry, let this matter ferment for a while, I have to wait for them to mess with themselves, and I can close the net at the same time." The Emperor sneered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Zhou had already understood what the emperor meant.
Not long after, the Nangong family and the crown prince were exiled and deposed for rebellion, and it was completely spread in Beijing.
All the ministers, officials, and even businessmen in Jingli who had some relationship with the Nangong family or the crown prince, or who had been close to them, were all in danger and could not get up all day long.
But this matter has nothing to do with Yan Ruojiu, she just held the little meat and stayed by Jiang Zhengxi's side, waiting for him to wake up.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Jiang Zhengxi, who had been asleep for two days and one night, finally woke up.
After the doctor confirmed that everything was fine, Prince Rong, the princess, the princess, the princess and Jiang Xiaohan all left one after another with a sigh of relief.
The little meat was also taken away by Prince Rong and the princess
It didn't take long for Yan Ruojiu to be left in the room looking at Jiang Zhengxi, who was gobbling up.
"You slow down, be careful of choking......" Seeing Jiang Zhengxi like this, Yan Ruojiu was distressed and helpless, so she could only persuade repeatedly.
"Hmm...... Daughter-in-law, why don't you eat it? Jiang Zhengxi was eating, and he still remembered asking Yan Ruojiu about the situation.
"I've already eaten it, you eat yours, don't worry about me." Yan Ruojiu clenched her fingers and looked distressed.
"Hey, can you also eat some with me, come to my daughter-in-law, this is the best, you can also taste it......" Jiang Zhengxi felt half full after eating for a while, but he was worried about taking care of Yan Ruojiu.
To tell the truth, in the past few days, because of fear, Yan Ruojiu really hasn't eaten much properly, and his little face has lost weight, Jiang Zhengxi is naturally distressed, and he keeps picking up vegetables.
"Daughter-in-law, this is also delicious, you can eat some quickly, look at your little face and thin face, I am only a few days away from the house, why do you treat yourself like this, doesn't it make me feel distressed." Jiang Zhengxi complained while sandwiching Yan Ruojiu's dishes.
"You are embarrassed to say that you don't tell me anything, you leave for three days, and when you come back, you are covered in blood, and you don't even say a word, so you fall asleep, until now, why don't you know that I will also be worried?" Yan Ruojiu said, and as she spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Daughter-in-law......" Jiang Zhengxi panicked when he saw Yan Ruojiu's tears, and his hand holding vegetables froze in the air, and he was a little embarrassed at a loss.
"Huh......" Yan Ruojiu glanced at Jiang Zhengxi resentfully, and continued to cry silently.
Jiang Zhengxi was distressed, put down the chopsticks in his hands on both sides, got up and stopped Yan Ruojiu into his arms, and said guiltily: "Daughter-in-law...... I, I'm not afraid that you'll be worried, that's why I'm hiding it from you, besides, I'm not fine. ā
"You're still reasonable, the more you hide it from me, the more worried I am, don't you know?" Yan Ruojiu said aggrievedly.
"I know, I know, daughter-in-law...... Don't cry, it's my mistake, I shouldn't hide it from you, don't cry, okay......" Jiang Zhengxi has always doted on Yan Ruojiu, and the more this time, the softer his heart became.
"Then you say, what is going on in the past few days, why you haven't been home for three days, how can you get injured, how can you be tired like this, you have to tell it as it is!" Yan Ruojiu blushed her little nose and said squeamishly.
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't cry, you can tell me anything, be good, wipe your tears quickly......" Jiang Zhengxi smiled dotingly while brushing Yan Ruojiu's tears with his thumb.
"That'...... Then what do you say......" Yan Ruojiu pouted, gasping slightly, and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, so where do you want to start?" Anyway, the matter has come to an end, and it doesn't matter what Jiang Zhengxi says.
"Let's start with my aunt's assassination, how is she doing now?" Yan Ruojiu asked.
"Don't worry, my aunt's injuries are not serious, but she is just a little frightened." Jiang Zhengxi said with a smile.
"My aunt is a generation of women, she can be frightened, that is not an ordinary person, is it the prince and the Nangong family?" Yan Ruojiu asked.
"Huh...... You know it all. Jiang Zhengxi did not deny it.
"Is it really their hand on my aunt? Why? Yan Ruojiu couldn't figure it out.
