Chapter Ninety-Two: The Jade Seal Is Stolen
The queen smiled with a low eyebrow: "Queen Mother, Marquis Yingwu heard that something happened to his youngest son, and he was very anxious for a while, so he disturbed the emperor at the banquet, and asked the queen mother to forgive Marquis Yingwu's recklessness."
"Hmph," the Queen Mother snorted coldly, why did Yingwuhou know about this matter, they knew it, but since everyone came, the Queen Mother naturally had no reason to rush back, so she said lightly: "Since the emperor is here, then the emperor will ask." ”
At this time, the crown prince and Yue Zhu'er had already arrived at the queen mother's palace, Yue Zhu'er was so pale that she told the story again, and shook her body weakly, as if she would faint in the next moment.
"Since you're not feeling well in your pregnancy, don't move around." Although the queen mother is in the harem, she has long heard about Yue Zhu'er, so she naturally dislikes it very much, looked at the prince and said, "Why don't you see the crown princess?" ”
"The crown princess was not feeling well, so she couldn't come." The prince hurriedly replied, and did not forget to glance at Yue Zhu'er worriedly.
"I wasn't pushed into the water by this sister." At this time, a childish voice came in, and then Mrs. Yingwuhou walked in with her little son in her arms.
"Ying'er, what's going on, can you come and hear it?" Qianfan didn't know what the child's name was, so he had to ask.
"Sister, my name is Wu Zhuoying." Wu Zhuoying looks like he is only four or five years old, but he is very smart and clever, Yingwuhou has always loved this little son, and naturally he has a good foundation, so although he was frightened, this will already be alive and well, and he looked at Qianfan with a smile and said.
"My name is Yue Qianfan." Qian Fan didn't ignore him at all because he was a child, and looked at him with a smile and said.
"When my mother went to get the palace binding order, a little palace maid told me that my mother was already waiting for me in front, and when I walked to the pond, I happened to see my sister and the woman talking, and the little palace maid suddenly hit me in the neck and pushed me into the pool, and I saw my sister come to save me before I passed out." Wu Zhuoying said it very clearly, not at all like a four or five-year-old child.
"Go check that little palace maid!" After listening to Wu Zhuoying's words, the emperor turned his head and looked at Yue Zhu'er again and asked, "Obviously she is not the person pushed by Yue Qianfan, why are you slandering her?" ”
"Father, Zhu'er is just a little farther away, maybe she didn't see it clearly." When the prince saw Yue Zhu'er looking at him pitifully, he immediately said, "Maybe that little palace maid was instructed by Yue Qianfan to deliberately approach the Yingwu Marquis Mansion." ”
"Oh my God!" This time did not wait for the emperor to be angry, the queen frowned and looked at Luo Langtian, the prince's behavior during this period of time was really strange, since Yue Zhu'er entered the prince's mansion, he not only chilled the heart of the third child, but also made the concubine Niangniang and the family behind her who originally supported them immediately neutral.
If the prince is too concerned about Yue Zhu'er, he won't be able to wait long for him to be played by this woman, Yue Chongshan relied on the reputation of the prince to make a lot of money outside, and he thought she didn't know? Thinking of this, the queen already had a little murderous aura in her eyes when she looked at Yue Zhu'er.
"Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Zhu'er, Yue Qianfan also pushed Zhu'er! Maybe she still wants to murder the royal heir! When the prince saw the queen's gaze, he immediately remembered the cruelty of his mother, and hurriedly protected Yue Zhu'er behind him.
"Idiot!" Qian Fan scolded secretly in his heart, and quietly looked up at the three people sitting in the palace, only to see that the faces of the queen mother, the emperor and the queen were already showing displeasure, the more the prince cared about a concubine, the more taboo it was for the royal family.
"Your Majesty, I didn't find the little palace maid that Wu Gongzi said." Gonggong Xu said with a look of embarrassment: "The slave has checked all the palace maids, and none of them have been to the palace gate. ”
"According to the mourning family, since the son of Yingwu Hou has made it clear, then this matter naturally has nothing to do with Qianfan." The Queen Mother really didn't want to see the prince and Yue Zhu'er anymore, so she frowned and said, "If it's okay, let them retreat." ”
Qianfan frowned, if Luo Langyi and Yue Zhu'er planned to deal with him, they shouldn't have sent a little palace maid to knock Wu Zhuoying unconscious, they could have killed him and blamed themselves, so what was the intention of Luo Langyi in acting such a meaningless play?
"Your Majesty!" Just when Qianfan lowered his head and thought, Gonggong Lin, another powerful eunuch beside the emperor, was already anxious, ran in in a hurry, and whispered something in the emperor's ear.
"What did you say!" The emperor got up suddenly, and said with a gloomy face: "Block the palace gate for me, and everyone will go to the palace banquet hall!" ”
After Qian Fan and Wei Linxi arrived at the main hall, Yue Chongnan immediately greeted him, and when he saw Qian Fan's red and hot cheeks, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "The emperor temporarily ordered not to leave, what should you do if you have a cold and fever now?" ”
"This is Mr. Yun's medicine, you can take it first." Nalan Minhao took out a pill from his sleeve and glanced at Cui Yan, who understood and immediately blocked in front of them.
In fact, Nalan Minhao has always been in the spotlight, but because the emperor was suddenly angry, he even blocked the palace gate, and everyone was nervous, so no one noticed them, except for the seventh prince who was sitting opposite.
But he knew that Nalan Minhao was discussing countermeasures with Qianfan, so he deliberately anxiously talked to the minister next to him, as if he was worried about something big happening, which attracted the attention of many people, after all, everyone has curiosity, and it is much better to listen to the speculation of the Seven Princes than not to know anything.
"Because of the palace banquet, most of the Praetorian Guards went to be responsible for the emperor's safety, and the guards outside the imperial study were all knocked unconscious, and the jade seal was stolen." Nalan Minhao whispered to Yue Chongnan and Qianfan: "But Leng Chen was called out by the Ninth Princess, and he hasn't come back yet. ”
"Conspiracy!" Qianfan's first reaction was that Leng Chen had been tricked, and when everyone was in the main hall, only Leng Chen was not present, so it was probably to frame him!
"Luo Langyi let Yue Zhu'er and the prince of the Yingwu Marquis Mansion fall into the water at the beginning to attract my attention, so that I have no time to take care of my little uncle, the ninth princess has a grudge against me, I am afraid that as long as I instigate a little, I will be willing to be used!" Qian Fan frowned and analyzed.
"If this is what Laurentine did, how sure are you that he will be dealt with?" Although Nalan Minhao was still looking around leisurely, there was also a sense of urgency in his tone, and he rolled his eyes and said: "I'll go out to find Leng Chen now, as long as I find him, no one will naturally suspect him with me as a witness." ”
"Okay." Qian Fan nodded, raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a low voice, "Be careful." ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Fan'er, I still have to wait to marry you." Nalan Minhao replied with a smile, quietly withdrawing from the distance, and when Qianfan went to look again, there was no trace of him in the hall.
"Fan'er, you've grown up." Yue Chongnan naturally also heard the conversation between the two of them, looked at Qian Fan with appreciation and said, "I didn't expect that Daddy would also be protected by you one day. ”
"Daddy, now is not the time for small talk." Qian Fan smiled and said, "We may become sinners who steal the jade seal at any time now. ”
"If the emperor believes it, I have nothing to say." Yue Chongnan sighed, there was already a little disappointment in his tone, if guarding the border pass day and night was in exchange for the emperor's suspicion, how sad would it be for them generals?
Qianfan whispered something to Cui Yan, Cui Yan nodded and retreated behind everyone, the Seven Princes smiled slightly when they saw this scene, and whispered a few words to the little guy next to him, and the little guy also retreated.
Everyone was anxiously waiting in the main hall, and I don't know how long they waited, but the emperor finally walked in with a gloomy face.
"Today, my imperial study was infiltrated by a dead soldier, and an important piece of information was lost, so everyone present must be searched." The emperor was silent for a while before he spoke: "I hope all Aiqing will cooperate." ”
"Lost information?" The ministers below looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other, but the emperor had spoken, who would dare not listen? Therefore, the female dependents were taken to the inner temple by the female officials, and the ministers were searched in the outer hall.
"Are all the people here?" The emperor saw that everyone had searched and didn't find it, and the green tendons on his face almost burst out, and Qianfan lowered her eyes, because she wanted to know who Luo Langyi was going to deal with.
"Father, eldest brother and mighty general are not here." Sure enough, Lau Langyi couldn't wait for the officials he had wooed to speak, so he opened his mouth first.
"Where did the mighty general go?" The emperor was reminded by Luo Langyi, remembering that Yue Zhu'er was obviously fine, but he yelled that his stomach hurt, and the prince had already sent Yue Zhu'er back to the house first.
And Leng Chen is not here at the moment, could it be that the Yue family and the prince teamed up to steal the jade seal? But what can the prince do if he steals the jade seal? Do you want to usurp the throne? If he wanted to usurp the throne, why did he only steal the jade seal and not mutiny?
Just when the emperor's mind was turning a thousand times, Luo Langyi deliberately stepped forward and said: "Father, this matter is actually very simple, as long as you go to the eldest brother's mansion to search, you will naturally know whether the eldest brother has stolen secrets." ”
When Qian Fan heard Luo Langyi's words, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, is this Luo Langyi in the process of getting rid of the prince by the way? But how could she let him get his way?
Thinking of this, Qian Fan raised his eyes and glanced at the Seventh Prince, who remembered the message he had heard from Cui Yan just now, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Father, the eldest brother is the prince of a country, how can you let people search the mansion at will, this is not good for the reputation of the eldest brother, and please think twice." ”
"Well, what Lao Qi said is reasonable." The emperor still defends the crown prince in the end, so he glanced at Luo Langyi with some dissatisfaction, regardless of whether the prince is the prince or not, he is also Luo Langyi's eldest brother, and this eighth child doesn't think about the eldest brother at all, it's really not as good as the seventh!
Luo Langyi glared at Luo Langkong, and said in a low voice: "Father, that Leng Chen has not seen anyone until now, maybe it was Leng Chen who joined forces with the traitor party and stole secrets!" ”
Just when the emperor had begun to suspect Leng Chen, Nalan Minhao and Leng Chen walked in, and then looked at the emperor in surprise and said, "I've been playing chess with Leng Chen, is there something going on here?" ”
