in the Royal Palace

The imperial concubine was horrified in her heart but her face was not obvious, and she was still making tea very calmly, while the third prince stood quietly next to the emperor, unable to see anything abnormal.

"Why is the prince and Wen Qiao also here, is there anything important?" The Emperor asked with a slightly puzzled tapped hand on the table.

The original warm atmosphere brought a hint of sword pulling, and the imperial concubine had already brewed a pot of Longjing before the rain, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of tea.

The surroundings were quiet and could only hear the sound of tea entering the cup, Wen Qiao glanced at the prince, ready to tell the third prince about the collusion with the mountain bandits.

"Let's try the tea made by the concubine first." The imperial concubine said first, and the hand serving the tea trembled slightly, "If you leave it for a long time, it won't taste good." ”

Obviously, she had already sensed the purpose of the prince and Wen Qiao, and now she had to delay for as long as possible before thinking of countermeasures.

The third prince suppressed the panic in his eyes and pulled out an extraordinarily stiff smile, "The imperial brother rarely comes to the concubine's place, and today we have finally gotten together, but we have to talk about something pleasant." ”

Wen Qiao looked at the third prince with a smile, his expression was clear, and he was slightly mocking.

He knows everything! The third prince felt that he couldn't keep the smile on his face, and he was thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind, but a strong sense of powerlessness rose.

How to explain it, there was no collusion with the mountain bandits or no harm to the princess, if the prince and Wen Qiao have definite evidence, then no amount of explanation would be pale.

Thinking that after his methods were discovered by the emperor, he would be driven away from the battle for the throne forever, and the third prince felt dizzy.

It just so happened that at this time, there was another announcement outside, but the eunuch's shrill voice was like a life-saving medicine.

"The people of Huaienhou's mansion reported that the princess was injured and unconscious, and asked Wen Qiao to return to the house as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Wen Qiao couldn't care about telling the third prince about his crimes, and his mind was full of Zhao Qingyan's appearance.

Obviously let her stay in the mansion well, how could she be injured, could it be that the third prince had been bold enough to send someone to assassinate Zhao Qingyan?

The matter of the third prince can be told to the emperor at any time, and Wen Qiao still chose to go back to see Zhao Qingyan first, if something happened to her, it would be irreparable.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will leave first, and next time I will state important matters with Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty Haihan." Wen Qiao said, feeling more and more anxious.

Fortunately, the emperor also knew that he was worried about Zhao Qingyan's safety, so he didn't blame him much, but instead gave two imperial doctors to go to Huai'en Houfu with Wen Qiao.

Seeing that the matter would not be exposed for the time being, the three princes' hanging hearts finally fell.

showed a false smile to Wen Qiao, his eyes were full of hypocrisy, "I don't know who dares to hurt the princess, you go and see how her injuries are, if necessary, I will definitely help." ”

Wen Qiao was not easy to make trouble, his expression was slightly cold, and he turned around and left after bowing to the emperor again, and the prince did not stay long, so he said a few words to the imperial concubine.

He showed the pretense of brotherly harmony with the three princes, and then left under the pretext of having something.

After recovering, he rushed to the inner hall and saw Zhao Qingyan and Huai Enhou standing there, as if they were saying something.

"Where is it hurting, but what is uncomfortable?" Wen Qiao asked, picked up Zhao Qingyan strongly, put him on the bed and began to carefully examine his body.

found that there was not a single wound on her body, her face was ruddy and her breath was stable, and she didn't look like she was injured at all.

Coughing twice, Zhao Qingyan felt that his face was a little hot, Huai Enhou was still there, even if he had experienced the edification of the ideas of the new era in the twenty-first century.

They all still feel a little awkward in front of their elders, but there is a warm current in their hearts.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Zhao Qingyan said, struggling to jump from the bed to the ground, and even turned around twice.

Seeing her lively appearance, Wen Qiao was relieved, but he couldn't understand why he should come back if he had nothing to do.

Originally, he could have reported the evil deeds of the three princes to the emperor, but this plan was completely disrupted.

If you want to find the emperor again, the chances will not be so good, and the third prince will definitely be prepared, and there will be more trouble when the time comes.

Although Huai Enhou agreed with Zhao Qingyan to call Wen Qiao back, he also suspected that his approach was incorrect, the emperor was concerned about family affection, but what if the three princes colluded with the mountain bandits and killed the people?

No matter how much family affection there is, it will turn into anger, and the three princes will definitely be punished severely.

"Can't you all understand why I'm doing this?" Zhao Qingyan sighed and said, Wen Qiao and Huai Enhou nodded together.

When he was at home on weekdays, Zhao Qingyan had been thinking about this matter, and on the surface, it seemed that the prince and Wen Qiao had already grasped the evidence of the collusion between the three princes and the mountain bandits.

But it's just physical evidence, it can be imitated casually, what if the third prince insists that it was made by the prince and Wen Qiao to harm him?

Let the imperial concubine blow the pillow wind again, not only will she not be able to bring down the third prince at that time, but it will make the prince and Wen Qiao get into trouble.

"Anyone can make physical evidence, can you make sure that the Emperor fully believes in you? The third prince is insidious and cunning, and if he can't keep it, he will leave some tricks. Zhao Qingyan said.

After all, when she was in the 21st century, she had nothing to do except watch food shows and palace fighting dramas, and she still knew some of the routines.

Although she also wanted to bring down the third prince, before the matter was 100% sure, Zhao Qingyan didn't want Wen Qiao to take the risk.

Huai Enhou touched his rich beard, the imperial concubine has not fallen out of favor now, and today the emperor went to her dormitory, which shows that he still cares about the imperial concubine in his heart.

What Zhao Qingyan said is also reasonable, the evidence they did only find physical evidence, if the emperor didn't want to punish the three princes, he would naturally think it was so fake.

It is impossible for them to force the emperor to punish the three princes, and things seem to be a little tricky.

"The prince's side is still checking the evidence, but the position occupied by the group of mountain bandits is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and several times they have hit the people but run away, and they haven't caught a single person yet."

Wen Qiao said helplessly, the mountain bandits are too cunning, and they have multiple escape routes, if they hit this side, they don't know where to run from there.

For this matter, the crown prince has also been worried for a long time, without an exact witness, the risk of bringing down the third prince is much greater, and the third prince is about to go to the frontier, Wen Qiao is naturally a little anxious.

"It's true that the three princes hurt me, and it's true that the mountain bandits hurt the people, but the main problem at present is that our evidence is incomplete, and we can't make the emperor fully believe that the three princes colluded with the mountain bandits."

Zhao Qingyan said, and began to think back to what happened that day, for fear that something key was missing.

If the matter of the mountain bandits is exposed, the emperor will definitely not be able to shield the three princes, at least he must give an explanation to the people.

Wen Qiao walked up to Zhao Qingyan and kneaded the tips of her hair, "Don't worry, the prince and I will find a way as soon as possible, and I will definitely not let go of those who hurt you." ”

The distance between the two was a little close, and Zhao Qingyan could even feel the dampness and heat brought by Wen Qiao's breathing, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red.
