Chapter 226: Suspicious Xixuan
Originally, I wanted to send people in from outside, but the Queen Mother felt that it was very risky and might not be able to deter the emperor; Second, it is difficult for the emperor to associate the person who enters from outside the palace as the prince. So the Queen Mother said that she would use the maid she placed in Ruan Guifei's palace, and I struggled to admit it, and finally agreed. Because judging from the current situation, if the emperor dies and there is no crown prince, then Jiang Yunxiu, who naturally has a heavy army, has a better chance of winning the world. As soon as this bureau is set up, even if the emperor has no evidence, it is basically hopeless for him to inherit the throne again. But I don't know, how did it turn into a concubine to assassinate in the end?
"Which concubine in the palace is it?" I asked.
Qin Xixuan's eyes showed distrust, and he asked, "Doesn't Miss know?" Or is the young lady still unwilling to tell me that your inner body in the palace is the current queen mother? ”
I think today's Qin Xixuan is a little strange, I never thought of hiding it from his queen mother, but I didn't deliberately mention it. He had never spoken to me in such a tone before.
I was a little angry and said, "Just tell me, I didn't hide it from you, but there are some things you don't need to know." ”
Qin Xixuan also became stubborn and said, "Miss thinks it's for my good, but Miss didn't think that what you think is good for others will hurt others in the end." ”
"What do you say? Who have I harmed? "My voice trembled a little, Qin Xixuan's words reminded me of the third brother and Zheng Yu, they all died for me, but didn't they all harm me?
Qin Xixuan saw that my face changed suddenly, and he also realized that there was a mistake in his words, so he hurriedly said, "Miss, it was Xixuan who said the wrong thing." Xi Xuan just thinks that since he is doing things for Miss. But Miss has never had a heart-to-heart relationship with me and Ah Qiao, so she is angry and speaks indiscriminately, and Miss must not take it to heart. ”
I was a little settled. After thinking for a while, he asked, "But this matter affects you?" Is the emperor suspicious or ......"
Qin Xixuan shook his head and interrupted me: "No, the emperor trusts me more now, and he has actually been analyzing the matter of the prince with me in the past few days." I think what the emperor said in front of me was really from the bottom of his heart, not like a fake. ”
I shook my head and said, "The emperor's words, you believe that five or six out of ten is enough, isn't it trying to test you?" If he analyzes with you, you must not be biased. Otherwise, the emperor's trust in you may come to naught in an instant. ”
Qin Xixuan was thoughtful, and only said after a while: "Miss reminded me." Subordinates should pay attention. ”
I asked, "You haven't told me which concubine assassinated the emperor?" ”
Qin Xixuan said: "Strange to say, it is a palace maid sent into the palace by the Shen family, and she was named a noble person because of the occasional favor of the emperor. The assassination of this palace maid even took the queen mother and was snubbed for a few days. The Queen Mother has nothing to do with this matter. He also sent the Shen cousin who sent this woman to the palace that day and put him in prison. It was only later that it was found out. This noble man was summoned to the palace by Ruan Guifei for a long time before the assassination. But Ruan Guifei insisted that this noble person went to her by herself and gave her a hand-embroidered handkerchief. It's just that the noble man was executed on the spot, so this matter can be said to have become a headless case, and no one knows what the inside story is. I'm also strange, originally I thought that this matter was arranged by the young lady and the queen mother, but I decided that the assassin would not have anything to do with the Shen family, but now...... Could it be that the Queen Mother took a risky move? ”
I can't judge now, I won't know what is going on until I let Xiao Liu contact the people in the palace. But now it seems. The more directly related to the case, the less suspicious the emperor became. Just like the cousin of the Shen family who was sent to the prison. So far, there has been no disposition, and Ruan Guifei is still in the palace and has not moved.
"Then now, who is the emperor suspicious?" I wanted to confirm that my guess was correct.
"Now, the emperor doesn't know who to suspect. If it was the Queen Mother, she should not use the people of the Shen family, and now the emperor is good to the Queen Mother and the Shen family, and if he dies, the Queen Mother may not be of much benefit; If it is the fourth prince, the emperor has not established a prince now, he only has the forbidden army in his hands, and the 30,000 forbidden army will have a hard time just dealing with the 'black chess battalion', not to mention that it is possible to fight against the hundreds of thousands of male soldiers held by Jiang Yunxiu; So if the emperor wants to say that he is the most suspicious now, then it is still the fourth prince. It's just that he can't be sure, so hesitant to do so. Qin Xixuan said a lot in one breath, and it was probably similar to what I expected.
I nodded and said, "In that case, did the emperor mention King Jinnan?" ”
Qin Xixuan nodded and said, "In the past few days, the emperor and I have mentioned the most is the King of Jinnan. He asked me what I thought of King Jinnan? He also asked the king of Jinnan if he had a grudge against the dethronement of the year. “
I hurriedly asked, "How do you answer?"
Qin Xixuan said with a smile: "I said that I don't know much about the King of Jinnan, but I heard that the King of Jinnan was deposed as the crown prince because of his poor health, so I shouldn't have any resentment." ”
I bowed my jaw and said: "The response is just right, in fact, the king of Jinnan is back in favor, and the emperor is not only worried about the thoughts of the king of Jinnan, but also the opinions of the courtiers." You say this, which shows that everyone thought that the prince was deposed for physical reasons, but now he is in good health, so it is normal for people to regain favor. ”
Hearing my approval, Qin Xixuan was not too happy, and only said lightly: "This is what subordinates should do." ”
After a few more words, he hurried back to rest. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the emperor asks Qin Xixuan to assist the king of Jinnan. It's just that......
I half-crooked on the bed, watching Lan Ling busy going in and out, and asked with a smile, "Lan Ling, what are you doing in and out like this?"
Lan Ling said with a smile: "Miss, I took out the clothes I went to Ancheng this time and washed them again, and then took advantage of the good weather these days to dry them well." ”
I nodded and said, "You're still careful and diligent, by the way~ Do you think there are some changes in Xixuan this time?"
Lan Ling tilted his head and thought for a long time before replying, "Don't you think?" Lord Qin is still the same as before, and after finishing his political affairs every day, he will go to Huixian Yaxu to discuss with Ah Qiao, and then come over to see Miss. I think it's the same as before. ”
Is it the same? In the past, no matter how busy Xixuan was, he always looked happy when he saw me, but when he came back this time, it was always a little unnatural to see me; In the past, if Xixuan talked about political affairs, if he could get my affirmation, he would definitely be excited, but this time he was very calm; Xixuan had never questioned me before, but now...... But how do you say this to Lan Ling? At the end of the day, it's just my feelings. Perhaps, it is really that he is too tired during this time, or he has been in the court for a long time and has his own thoughts and opinions.
was thinking about it, but heard Lan Ling's "ah". I looked up, only to see her take out a bloody bloody garment from a pile of clothes, which I recognized at a glance as Ling Yun's clothes. (To be continued......)
