Chapter 552: The Villain (1)
What the?
The prince's dress was actually cut by Eli?!
As soon as Zhao Gonggong's words came out, everyone was shocked.
The damage to the dress is not a good sign! Once it spreads, it will definitely provoke criticism from the ministers. It is extremely detrimental to the reputation of the prince of the sixth prince.
The ceremony has been prepared for several months, and each piece has been carefully prepared. No one expected such a mistake to occur the night before the ceremony!
Emperor Xuanhe's face was instantly gloomy.
Empress Pei was also shocked and angry: "Who the hell dares to do such a rebellious thing!" ”
The sixth prince suppressed the shock and anger in his heart and stood up: "Father, queen mother, son-in-law will go back to the palace and carefully investigate this matter." ”
"Wait!" Emperor Xuanhe, who had a gloomy face, unexpectedly stopped the six princes: "This matter cannot be publicized, let alone the slightest rumor." ”
"Tomorrow is the ceremony! First passed the ceremony smoothly and peacefully, and then strictly investigated the matter. ”
This incident shows that there is a villain who is responsible for it. couldn't stop the six princes from being established as princes, so they used this cheap ~ trick to disgust people.
Now if you make a big move and investigate to the end, you won't be able to hide it from everyone at all!
When the sixth prince suddenly heard this, he was furious, and he didn't expect these for a while. was reminded by Emperor Xuanhe's words before he calmed down.
"That's what my father said." The sixth prince quickly adjusted his mood: "It's the son's minister who is not thoughtful." ”
The anger in Emperor Xuanhe's heart was actually greater than that of the six princes.
Those who have the courage and ability to do this are either the harem concubines, or they are secretly instructed by several princes. He beat and woke up in every possible way, but there were still people who did such things!
If one day, he dies and goes west, these "hidden arrows" are afraid that they will become "open guns".
Who is this person?
Queen Pei gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Your Majesty, leave this matter to the concubines!" The concubine must strictly investigate this matter, and take this opportunity to take advantage of the harem. ”
A chill flashed in Emperor Xuanhe's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to the queen." ”
Then he said: "Tomorrow is the ceremony of Xiaoliu's establishment of the prince." The prepared prince's dress was damaged, and it was too late to make a new one anyway. Find out the prince's dress I wore back then, and change it overnight according to Xiaoliu's size. ”
That's all it had to be.
Empress Pei and the six princes nodded together.
……
Emperor Xuanhe gave an order, and all the attendants in Yuqing Palace were secretly imprisoned in the palace prison. Wait for a strict trial after tomorrow.
Zhao's godson, Xiaoxi Gonggong, was sent to serve in Yuqing Palace. The other chamberlains are also people around Emperor Xuanhe, who are extremely loyal and reliable.
After receiving the command from the Son of Heaven, the head of the Internal Affairs Office immediately quietly led a few embroidery girls into Yuqing Palace.
The fact that the prince's dress was damaged cannot be publicized. At the ceremony of the crown prince, the prince wore the old and modified prince's dress, which was neither nice nor decent. If you want to save your life, you have to keep your mouth shut and never leak the news.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuanhe's crown prince's dress was only worn for one day and has been extremely well preserved. At this time, I took it out and looked brand new. It's a little longer, and the waist is a little wider. A few embroidery girls stayed up all night without sleeping, and changed it before dawn.
A few embroiderers were busy tremblingly.
When the sixth prince encountered such an unfortunate thing, he couldn't feel better.
He Qi accompanied the six princes and whispered comfort: "Your Highness's road to becoming a prince is extremely smooth. This little thing is nothing, and His Highness doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
Think about Emperor Xuanhe, several princes fought fiercely for the throne, Emperor Xuanhe secretly didn't know how many means he used, and the blood on his hands was not a few.
In comparison, the six princes can indeed be regarded as smooth sailing.
I didn't experience tragic fratricide, and I didn't put much effort into running the court to win the support of the courtiers. All this is because he is the concubine of the queen and has the Sacred Heart.
What if the dress is cut? Tomorrow's ceremony will be carried out as usual. After tomorrow, he will be the prince of Da Chu.
The sixth prince exhaled deeply in his heart, and smiled helplessly at He Qi: "I understand what you said. Such sneaky tricks have little impact on the overall situation. ”
"I'm just depressed in my heart."
"If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have known that the waiters who serve around me every day would have been planted with eyeliner a long time ago."
Where the dresses are stored, all the attendants in Yuqing Palace know. The chamberlain, who kept the key to the treasury, bore the brunt and was the most suspicious. The rest of the chamberlains are also suspicious......
Thinking about it like this, the six princes even shuddered.
Who is this mastermind in the shadows?
Who's the inner ghost?
Even the people around him can't be trusted, who else can he trust?
The familiar faces of the past seem to have put on a vague and hideous mask, becoming strange and terrifying.
Xiaoxi's father-in-law, who had just taken office in the East Palace, walked over quietly: "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Cheng has come to Yuqing Palace and wants to see His Royal Highness, I don't know if His Royal Highness will see Imperial Physician Cheng." ”
Before the words fell, I saw that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince had walked out quickly.
Xiaoxi's father-in-law: "......"
He knew that Cheng Jinrong and the Six Princes had a close relationship. However, in front of He Qi, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince couldn't wait to go out to greet him, would it stab Commander He's eyes?
Even if he is pure, he knows the careful eye of men. Compared to women, there is nothing better!
Xiaoxi's father-in-law quickly glanced at He Qi.
Seeing that He Qi looked calm, without the slightest hint of nostalgia, he took the initiative to open his mouth and order the guards to retreat, and even went to the door himself.
It's really rare to see an open-minded manly husband in the world!
……
Commander He, who was praised by Xiaoxi's father-in-law in his heart, personally guarded the door.
What happened in Yuqing Palace was given a gag order. Only a few people know.
Cheng Jinrong learned about this from Empress Pei, and was worried about the six princes, so he took advantage of the night when no one was paying attention to him and came to Yuqing Palace to visit the six princes.
"Cousin Rong," for some reason, when he saw Cheng Jinrong, the grievances and sadness of the six princes poured out, and there was a faint pantothenic acid in his nose: "You know everything that happened in Yuqing Palace!" ”
"Your Highness don't have to be sad." Cheng Jinrong's eyes were firm, and his voice was soft: "This person only dares to use some sneaky tricks, and he can't shake the foundation of His Highness at all." ”
"After tomorrow, the queen will definitely investigate to the end and find out this person who is secretly playing ghosts."
"Your Highness, don't be disappointed and depressed. There are ghosts in Yuqing Palace, and it is not His Highness's fault. There is a villain who is making trouble in secret. ”
"Most of the attendants around His Highness are loyal to His Highness. When the matter is clarified, His Royal Highness will return their innocence, and then let them go back to Yuqing Palace. ”
