Chapter 550: The Dust Settles
The third prince was taken into prison, and the two guards waiting for the signal outside the palace were secretly killed by Dong Xi, and then the army was leaderless and was quickly suppressed by the people brought by Jiang Qianbai.
And those ministers who came to the palace late at night were all left in a room, Jiang Qiancheng gave them a little fierce medicine, they lay sideways, and no one woke up.
The palace, which was supposed to have a bloody storm, was quiet at this time, and as usual, you could even hear the cries of frogs in the lotus pond.
Jiang Qianbai walked to Jiang Qiancheng's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Now that there is nothing to do in the palace, you can go back first." ”
"Has the palace been searched?"
"The search is over, and no suspicious things or people have been found, and the third brother's words may just be dying and trying to make us suspicious."
Jiang Qiancheng thought about it, maybe it was really like what Jiang Qianbai said, a person like the Third Prince, even if he said something nonsense, it was not impossible, but Jiang Qiancheng felt a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.
Jiang Qianbai smiled and said, "Okay, you may have been too tired lately, go back and have a good rest, and leave the rest to me to take care of the aftermath." ”
"Well," Jiang Qiancheng nodded: "Then it's hard for you." ”
"Let's go back."
Shan Wu sent Jiang Qiancheng back to the East Palace, where it was still quiet, and there were not many people who kept vigil, just like the scene that countless Jiang Qiancheng saw when he woke up in the middle of the night.
Jiang Qiancheng entered the room, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, he felt relaxed all over, perhaps because he was really tired recently, he fell asleep in less than a quarter of an hour.
And at this time, in the imperial study of the palace.
When the emperor was sorting out the folds on the table, Jiang Qianbai walked in with Ye Xiuwen, and saw that he hadn't rested yet, and was a little surprised: "It's so late, why doesn't my father go to rest?" ”
"Something like this happened tonight, will you still be able to sleep peacefully?"
"Father is still worried about the third brother?"
"Do you think he must die?"
"This ......" Jiang Qianbai frowned slightly: "The life and death of the third brother are all in the thoughts of the father, no matter what decision the father makes, the sons will respect it." ”
The emperor laughed twice, he really hoped that he could make a decision casually, if it was something else, he could turn a blind eye, but the third child forced the palace to rebel! How can this kind of thing really be forgiven?
Jiang Qianbai asked, "What is my father laughing at?" ”
"I'm laughing at myself."
"Why?"
"Fifth child, what do you think of my usual treatment of the third child?"
Jiang Qianbai thought about it, the emperor's attitude towards the third prince has always been very good, and because there is a lady concubine in the palace, although the emperor does not value him, he has never looked down on him, and he has all the other princes.
It's just that what Jiang Qianbai doesn't understand is, why did the emperor suddenly mention such a thing? Are you lamenting the fact that the three princes forced the palace to rebel tonight?
Jiang Qianbai replied: "My father is naturally very good to the third brother, which is obvious to everyone. ”
"Then why do you think he rebelled?" The emperor looked at Jiang Qianbai: "Could it be that because Jiang Qiancheng is sitting on the throne of the crown prince, he is unwilling and starts to prepare for trouble?" ”
"This ...... I don't know. ”
"If it was just him, would he have been able to do what he is today?"
“…… Probably not. ”
"Old Five, I want to give you and the prince a new task."
Jiang Qianbai arched his hand: "Father, please speak." ”
"Find out those who have a connection with the third child, once you find out that they have instigated the third child to rebel behind their backs, you don't need to inform me anymore, just deal with them!"
"Yes!"
After the emperor sorted out the folds, he went back to his dormitory, Jiang Qianbai breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the people who were still busy in the courtyard outside, shook his head, and his mood was slightly complicated.
Ye Xiuwen asked him: "Lord Wang, the matter has been resolved smoothly, why are you still sad?" ”
"Didn't you hear what your father said just now? It's not that simple. ”
Ye Xiuwen frowned, he thought that as long as he caught the third prince, this matter would be over, but he didn't expect to continue the investigation, and he really didn't give them time to rest!
Ye Xiuwen said: "Lord Wang, no matter what the matter is, you should go back to rest first, don't forget, Miss Wan'er is still waiting for you to go back in the mansion." ”
"Yes!" Jiang Qianbai suddenly remembered that there was still this matter, and he said: "Since there is nothing in the palace, then go back, I don't know if Wan'er is asleep now, hurry up!" ”
"Good!"
Jiang Qianbai hurried back to the palace, thinking that at this hour, Yue Wan'er should have fallen asleep, but after going back, he saw Yue Wan'er looking at the door of the room, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly ran towards him.
Jiang Qianbai smiled and hugged her into his arms: "Wan'er, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"You haven't come back, I'm a little worried about you, and I said I'll wait for you to come back, how can I go to sleep by myself?"
Jiang Qianbai touched her hair with a smile, and her tone softened: "Haven't I come back yet, it's not early, let's go back to the room to rest." ”
"Okay."
Mingyue Tower.
When Dong Xi returned to Mingyue Tower, Yue Qingming was still asleep, Gu Shun and Princess Jiahe also fell asleep on the table because they couldn't stay up, Ruyi asked them to arrange them to rest in the next room, and now only Ruyi and Jade are still waiting for news.
When they saw Dong Xi coming back, they walked towards him almost at the same time, and asked in unison, "How is the situation at the palace?" Is it over? ”
"It's over," Dong Xi nodded: "Things are going well, the third prince has been taken, Jiang Qiancheng has returned to the East Palace, Jiang Qianbai has also returned to the Five Princes' Mansion, and everything has been settled." ”
"Great!"
Ruyi excitedly held Jade's hand, and her face was full of surprise smiles.
Dong Xi glanced at Yue Qingming, who was still lying on the bed, it seemed that he was too tired recently, so he only slapped his palm, and he didn't wake up until now.
Dong Xi said, "Let her continue to sleep, and tell her the good news for tonight when she wakes up tomorrow." ”
Ruyi nodded: "Well, I see." ”
"Go back and rest, I'll be here tonight, and I'll change you after dawn."
"Good!"
After Ruyi and Jade left, Dong Xi walked to the bedside, looked down at Yue Qingming, who was sleeping sweetly, and slowly spoke: "Jiang Qiancheng did a big thing tonight, and the position of the emperor in the future will definitely be his, but Yue Qingming, can you become his queen?" ”
