Chapter 744: Investigate
Although the emperor has snubbed the queen these days because of Fang Tianche's matter, the queen is the person in his heart after all, so he still cares.
At the beginning, when I heard that the queen was on a hunger strike, the emperor understood what the queen wanted to do, so he didn't pay attention to it, but just let the people in the palace pay attention to the queen's movements every day.
Who knew that the queen's hunger strike would last for three days.
When the palace maid came to report again, even the emperor was obviously a little flustered, he frowned, and immediately closed the fold in his hand.
"It's been three days, why can't you even let the queen eat something?"
"Back to the emperor, it's really not that the slaves don't let the queen mother eat, it's that she doesn't want to eat, no matter what we say, she doesn't listen, and the slaves and maids really have no choice, so they came to you for help."
"After all, the Queen Mother has always listened to you the most. If the emperor goes to persuade her, she will definitely be willing to eat. ”
The palace maid knelt on the ground and said this very aggrievedly, this is indeed the truth, they have already thought of all the methods, but the queen just doesn't want to eat.
So in desperation, now I can only turn to the emperor for help.
The emperor was also anxious, and he also knew why the queen did this, but unfortunately he couldn't let go of the queen, so after thinking briefly for a while, he immediately got up.
The queen hadn't eaten anything these days, and had been drinking water, so she lay very weakly on the soft couch at this time, until she heard someone come to report.
"The emperor has arrived."
When she heard just three words, her originally dim eyes finally gave out a little light, and soon saw the emperor striding in, and a smile appeared on the queen's face.
"Your Majesty, you ...... You're finally here......"
She spoke softly, even her voice was hoarse, and the emperor could hear how weak she was at this time, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.
"Queen, I heard from them that you haven't eaten for a long time, why are you here, why do you have to get along with yourself?"
The emperor frowned and asked her.
The tears in the queen's eyes immediately filled her eyes, she shook her head at the emperor, she looked pitiful, her voice was even more hoarse than just now, just making people feel distressed just listening to it, not to mention that the emperor cared about her so much, the discomfort in her heart can be imagined.
"Your Majesty, you know your concubines best, why don't your concubines eat, don't you understand? There is really no way for the concubine, so this is the only way to lure you over. ”
The queen did not intend to hide it, and bluntly stated all her intentions.
Of course, the emperor also knew in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have come before this, and he didn't know how to tell the queen about this matter after he came.
It's just that he didn't expect that the queen would use such an extreme way.
"I know that you feel sorry for Che'er, but he is suspicious of this matter after all. He is the only prince who has lost the jade pendant, isn't this enough to doubt? What's more, I didn't do anything to him, I just locked him up for the time being, and if I found the jade pendant, everything would be revealed. ”
The emperor reluctantly began to explain all this to the queen, with distress for him in his eyes, he really couldn't stand the queen hurting himself so much.
"But...... Does the emperor really believe that Che'er did these things? He's a kid you watched grow up, and you know his character very well, and he would never do such a thing! ”
The queen still retorted to the emperor, in short, she absolutely thought that it was impossible for Fang Tianche to do these things.
"The emperor should be a concubine begging you to be okay, you go and investigate this matter carefully, as long as you are willing to investigate it carefully, you will definitely be able to find out the suspicious points. It couldn't have been done by Che'er, he would never do such a thing! ”
The queen gritted her teeth, in short, this matter definitely had nothing to do with Fang Tianche.
The emperor obviously wanted to say something several times, but in the end he only sighed slowly, and he looked behind him, where a group of palace maids and eunuchs were still standing. So the emperor's eyes gradually became fierce and waved at them.
"Just do what you need to do, don't stand here and keep watching!"
"Yes."
So the crowd finally dispersed, and they knew that the emperor wanted to be alone with the queen for a while, so they did not forget to close the door before leaving, so the two of them were the only ones left in the house.
The queen was sobbing lowly, and the emperor was sitting next to her, listening to the queen crying so sadly, the expression on his face was very solemn, and he seemed to have a little helplessness, as if he didn't know how to comfort her.
"Don't cry Queen, I know that this matter is really bad, but I can't help it, you know how important the jade seal is to a country, and it is not only my responsibility to lose it, but the responsibility of the whole country!"
"But is this Che'er's responsibility? As long as the emperor thinks about it carefully, if this matter is really done by Che'er, may he be stupid enough to leave the jade pendant there and not take it away? Someone must have done this on purpose, in order to frame him! ”
The queen had affirmation in her tone, in short, no matter what others said at this time, she was absolutely convinced that Fang Tianche would not have done these things.
And the emperor seemed to fall into a short contemplation after hearing the queen say this. So he nodded faintly.
"I think what you said makes sense, but please give me some time, okay? Although Che'er is locked up now, his condition is not bad, and I am also trying to find a way to investigate this matter, and there will be a day when the truth will be revealed. ”
The emperor spoke softly, as if he was promising something to the queen, originally the queen's mood was really bad, but after hearing the emperor and himself say these words, she slowly became stable.
This was something he had discussed with Hua Qingyan before, and it might not allow the emperor to dispel the other party's suspicions, but at least it would give them a chance to breathe, so that they would still be able to turn defeat into victory.
Seeing that the queen finally settled down slowly and was no longer as sad as before, the emperor's face was obviously much more relaxed, and he nodded immediately.
"Since the queen is already willing to believe in me, let's eat something next, if you don't eat, your body will definitely not be able to stand it."
"No need, the concubines are not hungry."
"No, you haven't eaten well these days, and if you continue like this, your body will definitely not be able to bear it, and I came here today to watch you eat!"
The emperor's tone could not refuse at all, and he quickly asked the people outside to prepare the things, and it didn't take long for them to deliver, so the emperor sat in front of the queen and watched her eat.
On the other hand, Hua Qingyan has not been idle these days, she has been investigating the traces of those Hu people, and she finally caught a lone one one today.
Hua Qingyan followed him all the way until she came to a sparsely populated alley, and immediately passed by him, and then hid around the corner, she whispered three numbers in her mouth, and then heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
So Hua Qingyan hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, and when he stood up again, he saw that the Hu man had fallen to the ground unconscious, so Hua Qingyan immediately went over, picked up the rope and tied him up neatly, and waited for him to wake up.
Although Hu Ren's body was much larger than Hua Qingyan, she didn't know where she got the strength to drag him to a deserted courtyard.
