Chapter 24: Taking the Blame for Others
Luo Qinghan's lips pursed slightly.
He should have known that the queen mother didn't care if he was poisoned or not, and she didn't care whether he was doing well or badly.
The only thing she cares about is the position of the prince.
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes, hid the emotional changes in his eyes, and said respectfully: "Erchen has sent someone to investigate, and there will be results soon." ”
Empress Qin looked at him indifferently: "Can there be results tomorrow?" ”
"Yes."
"You were raised by this palace, how much effort this palace has poured into you, you know in your own heart, you don't want to disappoint this palace, you know?"
"Erchen knows."
"Stand down."
"Queen Mother, please have a good rest, and the sons will retire."
This is the end of the conversation between mother and son.
There was not even an ordinary greeting during the whole process, it was cold, giving people the illusion that they were not a living person, but an object.
Out of the Jiaofang Palace, Luo Qinghan slowly exhaled, as if he wanted to spit out all the cold air he had just inhaled.
He returned to the East Palace and asked all his henchmen to be called.
Father-in-law Chang reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you haven't had lunch yet, do you want to eat first?" ”
"No, I'm not hungry."
The position of the crown prince seems to be beautiful, but it is actually extremely risky.
As the prince, he should let more people see his talents, but he can't get too close to the courtiers, so as not to arouse the suspicion of his father.
Therefore, there are not many people under Luo Qinghan's hands who can be used, in addition to the prince and prince, the prince and the prince who taught him knowledge, there are also the prince and the young master, the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, and the commander of the Yulin army, Zhao Xian, and the king of the small county, Nie Changping.
The first seven people are all people who are tied to the same boat as the prince, they have common interests, and they must stand on the prince's side.
Only Nie Changping, the king of the small county, is different, he can stand in the prince's camp, completely out of the friendship that he grew up together.
He and Luo Qinghan are very good friends.
In order to find out the truth about the poisoning as soon as possible, Luo Qinghan called them all to the East Palace.
Because of his age, the prince and the prince are not in good health, and he is often sick, and he rarely enters the palace recently. He didn't come today, but he let his eldest son come, which can be regarded as showing his support for the prince.
A group of people discussed the matter in the study.
Knowing that the queen asked the crown prince to find out the results tomorrow, Nie Changping couldn't help but sigh.
"The queen mother really has high standards and strict requirements for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as always."
The crown prince said: "This shows that the queen mother attaches great importance to His Royal Highness the prince. ”
Nie Changping sneered, dismissive of this.
He has been playing with Luo Qinghan since he was a child, and he knows Luo Qinghan's affairs very well, and the Empress Qin seems to have high hopes for Luo Qinghan, but in fact, she just wants to use Luo Qinghan to seek the position of prince.
Luo Qinghan's biological mother died when he was very young, and he was sent to the Jiaofang Hall and handed over to Empress Qin to raise.
Empress Qin injured her body because of a miscarriage in her early years, and she could no longer get pregnant and give birth to children. It happened that Luo Qinghan had no biological mother, and he was helpless in this harem, so he could only rely on her to live, so she did her best to cultivate Luo Qinghan and help him win the crown prince.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are just using each other.
Luo Qinghan was listening to Zhao Xian's report.
"My subordinates have already checked, and it is not the wine that is poisonous, but the wine glass, and the wine glass has been poisoned, so the wine poured out of the same wine jug is only your glass of poison."
In other words, even if the eldest prince didn't come to pour wine for Luo Qinghan last night, as long as Luo Qinghan drank wine, he would be poisoned.
The toss of the eldest prince was purely for others.
