Chapter 553: Hidden Chess Piece
As soon as Concubine Hua left in the Qiankun Palace, Emperor Songde sat up from the bed and called Gonggong Cheng in.
"Let's see where Hua Guifei went?" He said in a deep voice, his face not looking good.
Gonggong Cheng didn't dare to ask anything, and after turning around and leaving, he immediately sent a trustworthy little eunuch to follow Concubine Hua.
Soon, the little eunuch came back and told the news to Cheng's father-in-law.
Gonggong Cheng returned to Emperor Songde, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine went to Fengxiang Palace." ”
Emperor Songde's face became even more ugly, and his voice sounded coldly, "Isn't Fengxiang Hall already sealed?" How could she still get in? ”
Father-in-law Cheng showed a look of embarrassment, "The identity of the concubine is different, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, those people probably don't dare to stop her." ”
"It's just presumptuous!" Emperor Songde said coldly, his face full of dissatisfaction, "I haven't died yet, is there going to be chaos in the palace?" ”
Chenggong hurriedly knelt down in fright, "The emperor is angry, the concubine may just be worried about the queen and go to visit the queen." Your Majesty, don't think about it. ”
"Worried about the Queen? Emperor Songde sneered, "She is really worried, today she is not worried about her own safety, she is trying to intercede with the queen, how can she not worry?" ”
Cheng's father-in-law's face changed, and he slowly spoke after a while, "Your Majesty, as far as the old slave knows, the relationship between the concubine and the queen is indeed not shallow. But hasn't the emperor always hoped for harmony in the harem? Why should you be upset about this? ”
As soon as Emperor Songde heard the words of Gonggong Cheng, he silently clenched his fists, he hoped that the harem would be harmonious, but he didn't want his concubines to unite and treat him as a fool.
"You go out first. Emperor Song De spoke again, his voice had calmed down, "By the way, I've been looking for someone to keep an eye on Concubine Dianhua and Fengxiang Hall recently, if there is any situation, come and inform me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." Chenggong got the order, got up, turned around and left.
In Fengxiang Palace, after Concubine Hua left, Jiang Anan immediately ordered the prince to come and see him.
There is no way, she can't leave Fengxiang Palace, but she must find out about poisoning Emperor Songde.
Now that the crown prince has become a cripple, he is likely to lose his position in the East Palace, and if she causes another monstrous disaster, then she will definitely suffer.
After about half an hour, Yan Qingyu was supported by two people and came to Fengxiang Palace.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." Apparently his leg was badly injured and there was little way to salute.
Jiang Anan was so upset that he hurriedly gave him a chair, and then scolded straight to the point, "Yan Qingyu, you are so bold!" ”
Yan Qingyu's expression changed slightly, and he looked over puzzled, "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't know what you mean by this." ”
"You're still playing dumb with me? Yan Qingyu, I always thought you were a cowardly and incompetent pawn, but I didn't expect that I was used by you! Jiang Anan's face looked a little scary.
Yan Qingyu didn't know how to react for a while, he didn't know what was going on, so he could only look at Jiang Anan stupidly, "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" If the son does something wrong, please let the queen mother make it clear! ”
Jiang Anan continued to say coldly, "Yan Qingyu, do you think that if the emperor dies, you will be able to succeed to the throne?" ”
Yan Qingyu's face turned pale, and he struggled to stand up, but because of the injury on his leg, he fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't understand what you're talking about, what you just said really frightened Erchen, Erchen is wronged!"
Jiang Anan squinted her eyes, she had been acting all the time, and she wanted to scare Yan Qingyu, but she was also afraid that Yan Qingyu would really do such an unforgivable thing.
But now looking at Yan Qingyu's reaction, she felt that she was too worried, Yan Qingyu was so timid, she shouldn't dare.
Could it really be someone from the Queen Mother's side?
However, even if the emperor is dead, there is still the crown prince, and the seven princes have no way to inherit the throne, how can they be so stupid?
Jiang Anan was a little puzzled.
Yan Qingyu was still lying on the ground, "Queen Mother, what happened?" You have to believe in the son-in-law, the son-in-law really didn't want to harm his father. ”
Jiang Anan stepped forward a few steps and helped Yan Qingyu to the chair, "Okay, the queen mother believes you, just now the queen mother was also worried that you made a big mistake in a hurry, so she wanted to scare you, since it is not you, the queen mother is relieved." ”
Yan Qingyu nodded with some gratitude, "Thank you for your mother's care!" However, what happened to the queen mother? ”
Jiang Anan had a headache, "Someone poisoned your father, I don't know who it is." ”
Yan Qingyu frowned, someone poisoned Emperor Songde? Who could it be?
Will it be Jiang Yingning and Ji Zhongli? Could it be that Ji Zhongli has never forgotten about revenge?
For a moment, he was very suspicious of Ji Zhongli, but it was obvious that others were not suspicious of Ji Zhongli now, so he didn't say anything to Jiang An'an.
Jiang Anan was already upset and irritable, and she didn't want to see Yan Qingyu at this time, as long as she was sure that the poisoning had nothing to do with Yan Qingyu, she would send the person back immediately.
After Yan Qingyu returned to the East Palace, he immediately asked his own people to investigate the poisoning, and also told the other party to keep it secret, even if he couldn't find out who it was, he must not let Ji Zhongli, Jiang Yingning and others find out.
As soon as his people left on the front foot, someone came in on the back foot and said that Cheng Gonggong was coming.
Yan Qingyu frowned, and immediately sent someone to call Cheng's father-in-law in.
Father-in-law Cheng is the most secret chess piece he puts next to Emperor Songde, the number of times the two meet is very rare, if it is not for something extremely important, Father-in-law Cheng will never come to the East Palace rashly.
Soon, Cheng's father-in-law came in, he was wearing a night coat and a hat, and ordinary people really couldn't recognize him.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" As soon as Cheng's father-in-law came in, he immediately gave Yan Qingyu a big gift.
Yan Qingyu limped forward and helped the person up, "Father-in-law Cheng, hurry up, but what's going on in the Qiankun Palace?" ”
Gonggong Cheng nodded, he didn't rush to say, but looked at Yan Qingyu's leg with some concern, "His Royal Highness the Prince, is your leg okay?" ”
Yan Qingyu smiled indifferently, "Father-in-law Cheng can rest assured, it's just a small injury, and it will get better soon." ”
Gonggong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't press the wrong person, Yan Qingyu is really trustworthy.
Yan Qingyu also understood that Father-in-law Cheng came in person at this time, in fact, he wanted to confirm whether his leg was completely finished.
If he really became disabled, Father-in-law Cheng should not help himself.
Father-in-law Cheng confirmed that there was no major problem with Yan Qingyu's legs, and immediately continued, "Someone poisoned the emperor. ”
Yan Qingyu nodded, indicating that he had just learned the news from the empress, and then asked, "Does the father have any doubts?" ”
Gonggong Cheng nodded, and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "The emperor may be suspicious of the queen's mother." ”
Yan Qingyu's expression immediately changed slightly, he felt that there was something wrong with Cheng's father-in-law's words, so he asked, "Will you suspect the queen mother?" What does this mean? ”
