As the protagonist of the incident, Zhou Ruian looked at them unusually calmly, as if he was watching the audience of the play, no matter how hard they performed, they couldn't shake his emotions, because he had already known the plot.

Even if the second prince came, confirmed what they said, and exposed Jiang Qingyue's identity, it didn't matter to Zhou Rui'an at all, because he probably knew everything a long time ago!

Thinking of this, Guan Youwei's heart trembled suddenly, and he raised his head and looked at Zhou Ruian, Zhou Ruian's handsome and compelling face was full of frost, and his eyes as bright as stars were looking at them coldly, without a trace of emotion.

Guan Youwei was soaked in cold sweat, Zhou Ruian already knew! He must have known it a long time ago! Yes, with Zhou Rui'an's scheming, how could he not know? Keeping an unknown person around? He already knew Jiang Qingyue's identity, but he didn't care, even if he knew that she was the daughter of the former emperor, he still trusted her as always!

And that Du family girl must be Jiang Qingyue! Now Guan Youwei is sure that all this must have been arranged by Zhou Rui'an, just to give Jiang Qingyue a reasonable identity to let her enter the palace, he still thought that he was a loyal minister for the king and the country, but in fact, Zhou Rui'an already knew all this!

Guan Youwei is worthy of being the Siqing of Dali Temple, so far he has guessed the key points, and he has approached the truth, oh no, or rather, what he guessed is already the truth.

Zhang Qi was not so smart, he looked at the second prince: "Second prince, the emperor spared you from death, spared your life, and was kind to you, now you have to tell the truth!" As he spoke, he squinted at the second prince: "Regarding Jiang Qingyue is the daughter of the former emperor, do you know about this matter?" ”

Guan Youwei and Chen Baobao immediately looked at the second prince nervously, Guan Youwei didn't know what kind of answer he hoped to get from the second prince's mouth, or rather, the second prince's answer was no longer important, because no matter what the facts were, Zhou Ruian would not care.

Guan Youwei was bitter in his heart, why didn't he understand this truth until now? Just now you were still singing against the emperor?

Everyone's eyes fell on the second prince, Xiao Fuzi also looked at him nervously, praying secretly in his heart, he didn't know what he was praying for, he was just very nervous, wondering what the second prince would say.

In contrast, Zhou Rui'an still had a calm face, as if it didn't matter what the second prince said.

The second prince opened his mouth, and at the moment when he was about to speak, he suddenly understood something!

No matter what he says, it doesn't really matter to Zhou Rui'an! Zhou Ruian will call him over, he is completely ready, whether he admits it or denies it, it makes no difference to Zhou Ruian, and even Zhou Ruian thinks that he is very likely to deny it, because Jiang Qingyue is close to him, if it is to protect Jiang Qingyue, he will definitely deny it!

The second prince guessed well, in fact, Zhou Ruian really didn't care about the second prince's answer, whether he admitted it or denied it, no one thought that he would be the queen of Jiang Qingyue, if the second prince denied it, it would only save Zhou Ruian some things, but if he confirmed it, he didn't care.

The second prince calmed down for a moment, and then said: "Qing Yue did ask me for help in the past, let me help her find her own background, but I didn't get definite evidence that she was the daughter of her father, speaking of which, I was ashamed of her and didn't help in this matter." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Chen Baobao said angrily: "You obviously know! You said it clearly, you said that I am not the daughter of my father! I heard it, what you said to the abolished queen, the abolished queen clearly said that Jiang Qingyue is the real princess of Ningyang! In order to protect Jiang Qingyue, you also threatened the queen to not be allowed to harm Jiang Qingyue! I hear it all! In front of the emperor, how can you lie? ”

The second prince glanced at Chen Baobao lightly: "Why should I lie?" I did guess, but the royal blood is a big deal, and without full conclusive evidence, who would dare to confuse the royal bloodline? After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, when my mother transferred Princess Ningyang, with the grievances between my mother and Concubine Qing, it should be normal to kill the princess, so how could she save her life?" ”

Zhou Ruian raised his eyebrows and glanced deeply at the second prince, who looked back at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, his eyes did not dodge.

The second prince defended Jiang Qingyue and did not tell Jiang Qingyue's identity, so the evidence of Chen Baobao and others could not be found, Zhou Ruian should be happy, but he did not have a trace of happiness in his heart.

"That's the proof you're talking about?" Zhou Rui'an slowly spoke: "Second Highness said that he didn't know, do you have any other evidence?" ”

"Yes! I have! Chen Baobao didn't say a word and took out another thing, it was nothing else, it was the swaddling clothes that Jiang Qingyue handed over to the second prince for investigation!

The origin of this swaddling cloth is really extremely bumpy, Chen Hewu handed over the swaddling clothes to Chen Xiuer before he died, and later Jiang Qingyue saved Chen Xiuer and inadvertently got this swaddling clothes, and later Zhou Rui'an investigated and learned that this swaddling clothes were the once famous Chen embroidery, and it was also the favorite embroidery of the Qing Guifei, and most of the Chen embroidery was sent to the palace.

Because the Qing concubine was favored, most of Chen Xiu's tribute went into the palace of the Qing concubine, and Jiang Qingyue asked the second prince to investigate this matter at that time, and it was because of this that the second prince discovered the mystery of Jiang Qingyue's life experience.

It can be said that this swaddling cloth is the key to Jiang Qingyue's life experience.

The second prince said quietly: "Just a swaddling piece doesn't mean anything, what's more, Miss Chen is the only daughter of the Chen family, and Chen embroidery can't prove anything." ”

Chen Baobao didn't expect the second prince to defend Jiang Qingyue, she glared angrily at the second prince: "You keep talking for Jiang Qingyue?" Are you also deceived by her? By the way, I forgot, she's your sister, of course you have to defend her! As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Rui'an: "Your Majesty, the second prince and Jiang Qingyue are brothers and sisters who agree with their parents, maybe the two of them are planning some ulterior secrets, you must not believe his words!" ”

The second prince sneered: "I heard that you insisted on asking the emperor to invite me over to confront you, and now you say that I am planning an ulterior secret?" I think you're the one who really has ulterior motives, right? You couldn't get along with Qing Yue before, and now you're even more false to frame him, what are your intentions? ”

Chen Baobao was suddenly furious: "You are squirting blood!" It must be you who conspired with Jiang Qingyue to murder the emperor and avenge the emperor! You obviously know that Jiang Qingyue is the daughter of the former emperor, why don't you tell the truth? ”

"Enough!" Zhou Ruian suddenly slapped the table, and everyone was shocked.

Zhou Ruian glanced at Chen Baobao coldly, "Have you made enough trouble?" As he spoke, he looked at Guan Youwei: "Guan Youwei, I'm not so idle, I'm here to see you fooling around!" If you listen to a crazy woman at will, you will make trouble in front of me, and I really doubt your ability as a Siqing of Dali Temple! ”

Guan Youwei's expression stiffened, and he bowed his head with a wry smile: "The minister is guilty!" ”

Chen Baobao looked at Guan Youwei in disbelief, but he didn't expect Guan Youwei to retreat at this time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are all loyal, all for Your Majesty! Princess Ningyang is related to the emperor's dragon health and well-being, so there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Jiang Qingyue is the daughter of the first emperor, but she is also very suspicious, please let the emperor order Jiang Qingyue to return to Beijing as soon as possible to verify her identity! If she is not a woman, she will naturally clear her suspicions, but if she is a woman, Jiang Qingyue hides her gender and follows the emperor, she must have ill intentions! Guan Youwei continued.

Zhou Rui'an: "......"

Zhou Ruian had already planned to let Jiang Qingyue die, how could he still let Jiang Qingyue return to Beijing?

Zhou Ruian could have found a dummy to replace him, but Guan Youwei is the secretary of Dali Temple, how many sensitivities have he detected? Even in the original Weiyuan Dart Bureau tragedy, Guan Youwei found suspicious points on the corpse.

Zhou Ruian is really not sure that he can use a fake corpse to deceive Guan Youwei, even if Jiang Qingyue becomes the queen at that time, Guan Youwei's character will definitely not die and take the lead in tossing, was he tossed in the first place?

Zhou Ruian had a headache at this time, and he glanced at Guan Youwei coldly: "When you find the evidence, come and ask me!" After a pause, he continued: "If there is no evidence, let me go back!" I don't have that much time to play this trick with you! ”

Several people looked at each other, Chen Baobao was a little unwilling, but Zhang Qi gave her a warning look, Chen Baobao swallowed the reluctance in his heart, and reluctantly followed out.

As soon as the three of them went out, Chen Baobao looked at Guan Youwei and said, "Lord Guan, I'm not lying, Jiang Qingyue is really the daughter of the first emperor!" The second prince is informed! ”

Guan Youwei sighed: "Can't you see it yet?" Do you think the emperor doesn't know? He already knew, and he deliberately didn't admit it to gag us! ”

Chen Baobao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Guan Youwei in disbelief: "What did you say?" He knows? It can't be, it can't be! ”

Guan Youwei glanced at her pitifully and pathetically, he also knew what Chen Baobao had been entangled with Zhou Ruian before, shook his head, and walked out.

Chen Baobao was very stimulated, she didn't expect Zhou Ruian to know, and she was bent on exposing Jiang Qingyue's face in front of Zhou Ruian.

In Chen Baobao's opinion, the former emperor was the murderer who killed the King of Jin, and with Zhou Rui'an's feelings for the King of Jin, he would definitely not accept the daughter of the enemy, so she confidently wanted to expose Jiang Qingyue's identity.

However, Zhou Ruian already knew that he knew Jiang Qingyue's identity, but he still treated her like this, and even took great pains to arrange her identity, just to marry her into the palace!

How can Chen Baobao accept it?! She shook her head, as if she were crazy: "Impossible! That's impossible! He won't like her! No, it won't! ”

Zhang Qi frowned tightly, this Chen Baobao is good at everything, but when he encounters the emperor's affairs, he is easy to get out of control.

Zhang Qi grabbed Chen Baobao and scolded angrily: "Look at what kind of place this is?!" Can you be allowed to go wild here? Do you think you're not going to live long enough? ”

Chen Baobao calmed down a little, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes: "Let's go, let's go back and think about it in the long run!" After a pause, she said coldly: "Jiang Qingyue wants to be a queen, dream!" I'm not going to let her get her wish! ”

Zhang Qi and Chen Baobao left the palace together and returned to Chen's house, and Zhang Qi also had something to ask Chen Baobao.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Qi couldn't help but ask the teacher: "Why didn't you tell me that Jiang Qingyue is a woman?" And she is also the daughter of the former emperor? ”

The purpose of Zhang Qi and Chen Baobao's cooperation before was to bring down Jiang Qingyue without affecting his status, but Chen Baobao never said that Jiang Qingyue was actually a woman! And it's also Princess Ningyang! Chen Baobao only told Zhang Qi that Zhou Rui'an's 'Jun Mochou' was related to Princess Ningyang, and asked him to provide clues related to 'Jun Mochou', so as to get Zhou Rui'an's reuse.

Regarding Jiang Qingyue's gender and identity, Chen Baobao didn't say a word about him, this was to guard against him, Zhang Qi was a little angry in his heart, if he had known Jiang Qingyue's identity a long time ago, he wouldn't have been so passive just now.

"What's the use of telling you?" Chen Baobao said disapprenosingly: "You have revealed the matter of 'Jun Mochou', I will go to Guan Youwei and tell Jiang Qingyue's identity, so that the emperor will be forced to find Princess Ningyang, we have a two-pronged approach, what's wrong with twice the result with half the effort?" ”

Zhang Qi was choked and had nothing to say, and after a pause, he said: "You shouldn't hide it from me, at least Jiang Qingyue is a woman's business, you should tell me!" ”

Zhang Qi felt like he was a fool, he had always regarded Jiang Qingyue as a thorn in his side, thinking that Jiang Qingyue would compete with him for favor, but as a result, Jiang Qingyue was a woman, and he was also Zhou Rui's happy person, he felt that everything he had done before was like a joke!

"What? Regretted it? Chen Baobao looked at him coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's too late!" Now the emperor is afraid that he has annoyed you, and the reason why he didn't attack you is just because you are still loyal, in this case, you can only be loyal to the end, since you have poked out the matter of 'Jun Mochou', then you must continue to advocate for solving this matter! Otherwise, it's hard to get ahead again! ”

Zhang Qi glared at her angrily, not because Chen Baobao was wrong, on the contrary, it was precisely because Chen Baobao was right that he was now difficult to ride a tiger and had to continue to cooperate with Chen Baobao.

Chen Baobao softened his tone: "But don't feel too wronged, Jiang Qingyue is the daughter of the first emperor, who knows what she has in mind?" If she becomes the queen, she will have great power, and today you have also seen how much the emperor protects her, knowing that her identity is still protecting her, if she wants to be unfavorable to the emperor, the emperor can't prevent it! ”

"What then?" Zhang Qi said anxiously, "I see that the emperor is very obsessed with her now, and he can't listen to anything." ”

Referring to Zhou Rui'an's attitude towards Jiang Qingyue, a trace of resentment flashed in Chen Baobao's eyes.

"Hmph, if you want to be a queen, it's not that easy!" Chen Baobao said, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words to Zhang Qi.

After Guan Youwei and the others left, the second prince looked at Zhou Rui'an, the two men looked at each other, and there was an inexplicable tension in the air.

It's also embarrassing to say, the second prince was only one step away from this throne, but he missed the throne because of his thoughts, and finally became a prisoner, he can't say that he regretted his original decision, he also knew that even if he didn't choose so much that day, Zhou Ruian would have other backs.

The second prince thought that he had already thought about it, but when he saw Zhou Rui'an at this time, he was high above, but he was standing below, and his heart was uneasy.

Zhou Ruian didn't reprimand him for his rudeness, but just looked at him blankly, with a casual casualness, which was completely calm and relaxed without seeing him in his eyes.

The five fingers that the second prince put in his sleeve slowly retracted, and he took the lead in opening his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "You will protect her, right?" ”

Zhou Rui'an frowned slightly: "In what capacity are you asking me this question?" ”

"You should know that what Chen Baobao said is true, and no one is qualified to ask this question except me." The second prince said proudly.

Zhou Rui'an curled the corners of his lips, revealing a casual smile with a hint of mockery.

"Naturally not." Zhou Ruian said lazily: "I will never let anyone hurt her, I have this self-confidence and this ability!" As long as you don't do things you shouldn't do and break her heart. ”

The second prince was just about to speak, but Zhou Rui'an's gaze was Yili and shot at him: "Because anyone who hurts her, I will never let it go!" Don't think that your little blood relationship with her can make me soft on you! I won't kill you, it's already for her sake, you'd better keep to yourself! ”

The second prince was suddenly shocked, almost thinking that Zhou Ruian already knew something, he pretended to be calm and met his gaze, not dodging or dodging.

"Since the emperor said it, then I have to believe it, I just hope that you, you have no jokes!" After the second prince finished speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and walked out.

Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but say with some annoyance: "Who does he think he is?" How dare you talk to the emperor like this! Your Majesty, you are just too merciful to let him be so presumptuous. ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at Xiao Fuzi lightly, Xiao Fuzi stiffened, lowered his head, and immediately stopped talking.

Zhou Ruian was silent for a long time before she said lightly: "She has no relatives since she was a child, and I don't want to keep the only one left." ”

Therefore, for the sake of Jiang Qingyue, even if the second prince has other thoughts, he can turn a blind eye.

"Lest she get stiff, she will come to complain." Zhou Ruian sighed lightly, but his tone was helplessly doting.

Zhou Ruian will never make a move on the second prince first, and even take good care of him, the last time someone neglected the second prince, Jiang Qingyue was already very displeased, he didn't want to quarrel with Jiang Qingyue for the second prince again.

If the second prince is smart and keeps to himself, he doesn't mind raising him, if he is unwilling to do anything else, then he will wait for the second prince to die slowly, and Jiang Qingyue will have nothing to say at that time.

Intelligent, shrewd, wise and wise, like His Majesty the Emperor, he would not let himself leave an imperfect impression in Jiang Qingyue's heart!

Jiang Qingyue didn't know that her life experience had been exposed, and Guan Youwei and others had already made a fuss in front of Zhou Rui'an, and now she was living in a simple house, just waiting for the draft to enter the palace.

Zhou Ruian gave a gag order to prohibit others from making trouble in front of her, and Du Wentao and Luo Bei were specially beaten by Zhou Ruian.

Du Wentao and Luo Bei knew that Guan Youwei and Chen Baobao had made such a fuss again, and they were all angry.

Du Wentao felt that this was to prevent him from becoming the emperor's father-in-law! His heart can be punished! What kind of grudge is this?!

Luo Bei is also very angry, Jiang Qingyue's life experience was handled by him, but he made a package ticket in front of Zhou Rui'an, and he wanted to do things beautifully, but what was the result? He did a good job, but the problem appeared in Chen Baobao's body, isn't this a moth?

Zhou Ruian also went to the Du family's mansion on a special trip, of course, in disguise.

Jiang Qingyue's days in the Du family can be described by four words, every day Mrs. Du will pull Jiang Qingyue to try on clothes, yes, try on clothes for her, and then make clothes, and then choose jewelry, it is bound to make up for what Jiang Qingyue didn't have before.

Probably Mrs. Du looked at Jiang Qingyue and thought of her eldest daughter, some empathy, looking at Jiang Qingyue's eyes also showed a little love, Jiang Qingyue had never felt the enthusiasm from her mother, and she was at a loss and had to let her pull herself to change all kinds of clothes, which was simply miserable.

Early in the morning, the maid came to report, "Miss, today's lady has to deal with the affairs of the house, so she won't come here in the morning, and the slave maid will tell the lady that if the lady is bored, you can go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, or go out to buy some jewelry......"

Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand: "You go back to Madame, just say I know, let Madame go and be busy, don't worry about me!" ”

The maid bowed and retreated, Jiang Qingyue sighed, she really felt that the days of being trapped in the back house were even more difficult than when she was fighting in Liuzhou.

At this time, Jiang Qingyue thought of a very serious question, if she entered the palace and became the queen in the future, then she would have to live this life trapped in the deep palace for decades to come, could she really stand it? And she is also the queen, and she is responsible for ruling the six palaces!

Look at what Mrs. Du has been busy in the past few days, this is just a house, big and small things, even the maid quarrels and she has to ask, she is busy every day and lacks skills, so what if it is the queen?

Jiang Qingyue shuddered when he thought of this.

The door was pushed open, Jiang Qingyue's heart instinctively lifted up, and turned his head: "It's not that there is something to do today......

Jiang Qingyue's voice stopped abruptly when she saw Zhou Rui'an appearing in front of the door, she blinked, and said a little uncomfortably: "Why are you here?" As an emperor, can I leave the palace? ”

Zhou Ruian closed the door, looked at her with a smile and said, "But I miss you." ”

Jiang Qingyue's face turned red, Zhou Ruian kept looking at her, admiring her shy appearance, Qingyue is really cute, no matter how many times, he will still be so helpless and shy when he hears him say love words.
