Chapter 251: Waiting for an Opportunity
The emperor is Jun Qianchen's father, and Bai Linxia didn't want to be suspicious of him.
However, this time it was really too strange.
He is the master of the palace, and his eyeliner is all over the palace.
There were rumors in the palace that were unfavorable to Jun Qianchen, but he didn't do anything......
The more Bai Linxia thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor's mind was unfathomable.
Since he didn't want to let Jun Qianchen go, why did he agree in the first place?
"Although my father is disappointed in me, he is not enough to frame us in such a way!" Jun Qianchen shook his head and said.
He always believed that the emperor would not do such a thing.
After all, he is not only the lord of the world, but also his father.
If he really wants to deal with himself, he doesn't need to be so troublesome at all, just do it.
"Could it be that this incident is really just a coincidence?" Bai Linxia lowered his eyes, covering the suspicion in his eyes.
No matter how she thought about it, she thought it was unlikely, how could there be so many coincidences in the world.
"My father has always felt guilty about me and wants to compensate me, he did reward me with a lot of good things back then, although he was angry, but he still cared about my son in his heart, he would never do anything that endangered my life!" Jun Qianchen looked determined.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be suspicious of the emperor's intentions, don't be angry!" When Bai Linxia saw his eyes, he immediately apologized.
The emperor is his biological father in the end, and if something like this happens, he must not feel good in his heart.
Bai Linxia hugged his waist and comforted him in his own way.
"I'm not angry!" No matter who encounters this, they will be the same as Bai Linxia, suspicious of his father.
Jun Qianchen knew that she was just analyzing the matter, and did not mean to slander his father.
This matter is full of fog, and although the source of the rumors has been found, it has never been completely resolved.
The rumors came from the palace, but there were so many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, they couldn't find out whether that person was intentional or unintentional.
Things came to an impasse, and Bai Linxia and Jun Qianchen were in a bad mood.
If they were in Qidu, they would be able to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor and make their words clear to their faces.
However, they were too far apart, and when the emperor asked them to leave, he was angry in his heart.
Jun Qianchen, as his most beloved son, disobeyed his wishes and left directly with his wife, breaking the emperor's heart.
Bai Linxia didn't know whether the emperor had let go of this matter, but she didn't want Jun Qianchen to return to Qidu.
In fact, Jun Qianchen never planned to go back.
Right now, they're on the cusp, and going back will only complicate things.
Jun Qianyu was bent on guarding against him, and the third prince had been waiting for an opportunity to move, Qi Capital was surging, he had just been far away from the land of right and wrong, how could he go back.
However, the current situation is very complicated, and if the emperor does not come forward, the rumors will be difficult to quell.
Bai Linxia understood the dilemma in his heart, so he deliberately wrote to Xie Xiaohou.
Their friendship has always been good, and the first person Bai Linxia thought of helping was him.
Xie Jiagong is in Sheji, although the little marquis did not enter the court as an official, but the emperor has always trusted the Xie family.
Bai Linxia felt that the little marquis was the best choice, and after Jun Qianchen knew her plan, he also thought that this plan was acceptable.
Although Cheng Yifan is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, they have always had a close past, and the emperor will definitely be suspicious of the Cheng family's appearance in this matter......
On the other side, after Xie Xiaohou Ye received her letter, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch.
"These two guys have left Qidu, and they actually wrote to me for help!" A smile flashed in the eyes of the little marquis.
The little marquis complained, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart.
When they were in Qidu, the little marquis often went to the Seven Princes' Mansion to eat and drink, and the three of them were not only friends but also confidants.
He has heard all the rumors in Qidu recently.
However, he has a good relationship with Jun Qianchen, and the emperor knows about this.
The Xie family had no intention of fighting for power, but the emperor wanted Jun Qianchen to inherit the throne, and he had privately hinted at his loyal old courtiers.
At that time, several humerus ministers helped Jun Qianchen everywhere, not only because he felt that his character was outstanding, but also because of the emperor's attitude.
Therefore, after Jun Qianchen left, those old courtiers all retreated......
However, since he gave up all the honor of Qidu and left quietly with Bai Linxia, the emperor's attitude towards him has become a little secretive.
Everyone didn't dare to mention Jun Qianchen in front of the emperor easily.
Although the little marquis is not in the court, he is very clear about the current situation.
The eldest prince became the crown prince, and all the ministers in the court secretly wanted to lean on this big tree, but a few of them were unwilling.
Even though he will definitely inherit the throne in the future, they are only loyal to the emperor.
Now, something happened to Jun Qianchen, and several princes in the palace are watching jokes behind their backs.
If he went directly to the emperor, the emperor would definitely feel that Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia were still involved in the affairs of the palace.
Xiao Hou Ye knows their minds very well, those two guys are as indifferent to fame and fortune as him, so they have to live according to their own thoughts, as for what other people think, they don't care at all.
So, he thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go to Prime Minister Zuo.
He is the emperor's confidant, he has always been loyal to the Great Qi Dynasty, and he can speak in front of the emperor.
The little marquis felt that if he brought Prime Minister Zuo, the emperor would not doubt his intentions.
The next day, the little marquis went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Zuo didn't know his intentions and was very puzzled, but he still saw him in the hall.
"I don't know what the little marquis is doing here?" Prime Minister Zuo ordered people to serve tea while greeting him.
"I heard that a few days ago there was a case in Dali Temple, involving the five princes, the emperor has handed over the case to the adults to deal with, I specially came to ask about the progress of the case, I don't know if the adults can tell me?" The little marquis had thought of an excuse before he came.
"When did you care so much about the affairs of the Five Princes!" He remembered that the little marquis seemed to have been very close to Jun Qianchen before.
However, Jun Qianchen has now voluntarily given up the position of the soon-to-be-arrived prince and left the palace.
Since then, the Xie family has never had any contact with any prince.
Prime Minister Zuo thought that they were no longer involved in imperial power.
Now, Xiao Marquis Xie suddenly came to the door to ask about the five princes, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt tired.
"The brother-in-law of the fifth prince is a good friend of me, and he wants to know his brother-in-law's condition, but his family wants to avoid suspicion and refuses to let him come out, so I have to go on my behalf!" The words of the little marquis are true.
However, he has always had nothing to do with the five princes, and this time he came here specifically to ask Prime Minister Zuo to help.
As for the younger brother of the fifth princess, he is indeed his friend, this matter is true, and he is not worried that Prime Minister Zuo will demolish him.
After all, what he did was seen by the magnates of Qidu, and he never concealed it.
"This case involves the royal family, and I have nothing to say!" Prime Minister Zuo did not doubt his intentions, but rejected him.
"I don't know when the Prime Minister will enter the palace to meet the emperor, can I go in with him?" The little marquis changed his words.
"Half an hour later, I will enter the palace to face the saint, if the little marquis wants to go, this official will definitely wait for you!" Prime Minister Zuo thought that he was going to inquire about the affairs of the five princes, so he agreed.
"I'll go back and change my clothes!" After the little marquis finished speaking, he left directly.
A quarter of an hour later, the little marquis appeared at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two entered the palace together.
During this period, when the emperor was talking to Prime Minister Zuo about the five princes, the little marquis took the initiative to retreat.
Subsequently, the little marquis saw that the time was almost up, so he pretended to inadvertently mention the rumors he had heard.
"Your Majesty, Wechen heard that the Seventh Prince took away a very precious treasure in the palace, and Wechen wanted to know how precious that thing was!" The little marquis said curiously.
"Why did you bring it up all of a sudden?" The emperor frowned.
"Weichen is just curious, I have been living in Qidu all these years, and I have seen a lot of good things, so I want to see the horizon!" The little marquis said tentatively without a trace.
"The rumors outside are just false rumors, and the so-called treasures are all false!" The emperor didn't know that the little marquis deliberately came to test him, so he directly denied those rumors.
"I see, Weichen really thinks that there are really treasures in the world that can make money!" The little marquis secretly glanced at Prime Minister Zuo, and found that he was looking at himself with a smile, and knew that he had guessed his thoughts.
However, in front of the emperor, the little marquis was sure that the other party would not directly puncture it.
Sure enough, Prime Minister Zuo didn't say anything, and left the imperial study with the little marquis.
"Today, you came to my mansion to inquire about the affairs of the five princes, but in fact, the drunkard does not mean to drink, and the little marquis is really calculating!" Prime Minister Zuo stared at him with a serious face.
"I'm sorry, I'm helpless!" The little marquis said helplessly, "The Seventh Prince is my best friend, and now that he is trapped by rumors, how can I stand by and watch, not to mention that he is the emperor's favorite son!" ”
"The emperor is still angry now, so he ignores the seven princes, but I believe that after a while, the emperor will definitely forgive them!" Seeing that the matter had come to this, the little marquis simply told the truth.
"I didn't expect the little marquis to be so affectionate!" In fact, Prime Minister Zuo was indeed a little angry when he guessed the purpose of the little marquis.
However, he didn't have a holiday with Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia, and he admired his character of being able to afford to let go.
In the face of the temptation of the supreme power in the world, he was able to refuse without changing his original intention, and he was indeed a person of high character.
Now, Prime Minister Zuo also knows all the gossip in Qidu, but the Seventh Prince has no friendship with him, so he didn't ask.
However, things are already like this, and he naturally won't plan so much.
"It's up to you to go to the soup for your friends!" The little marquis saluted him and said, "Please ask the Prime Minister for help in this matter!" ”
"Don't worry, now that I know the cause and effect, I will naturally not sit idly by!" Prime Minister Zuo nodded.
Subsequently, the two announced the matter to the outside together.
Zuo Cheng gets along fairly, and the people believe in him very much.
Now, he and the little marquis have personally refuted the rumors, and many people believe it, and they all claim that the matter was confirmed by the emperor himself, and there is no falsehood.
Since the emperor said that he had not sent any rare treasures to Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia, how could anyone else dare to continue to stare at them.
After all, the whole world is not the king's land, the emperor's words are holy decrees, and resisting the decree is to kill the head.
The people have a natural fear of imperial power, and it is precisely because of this that the little marquis will deliberately pull Prime Minister Zuo to meet the emperor......
