Chapter 8: Undercurrents
On the other side, Pei Yingxiu was anxious outside the palace gate, and when she saw Qin Tian coming over, she was relieved.
Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" β
Qin Tian was depressed in his heart, but he said, "Father has agreed to reopen the case!" β
When Pei Yingxiu heard this, her face showed joy and said, "Really? β
"Naturally, it's true, and let the Ministry of War, the Criminal Department, and the three divisions cooperate in the investigation, now you can rest assured!"
Although he was depressed in his heart, Qin Tian also gave a hint of Pei Yingxiu's explanation, after all, he had completely used her before.
This can be regarded as a crooked hit.
Hearing this, Pei Yingxiu said happily: "Even so, Your Highness, you don't have to pretend to be there, the concubine believes that you will be able to return the innocence of the Xiao family!" β
Seeing Pei Yingxiu so happy, Qin Tian was helpless, he just wanted to live well, and this prince was a high-risk profession, so he had to resign.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian opened his mouth and said: "Don't be happy too early, if you can frame the lonely mother clan, its power must be not small, so before the mastermind behind the scenes is not revealed, Gu will continue to ask for the position of the prince, so that they think that Gu does not want to be the prince, you have to cooperate with Gu to continue acting, only when Gu is alive, the humiliation of the mother clan will have the day when it will be washed!" β
Pei Yingxiu reacted and said: "Your Highness is right, the concubine listens to you for everything!" β
Seeing Pei Yingxiu say this, Qin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, there are still many ways to die, and he doesn't believe that the old Wang Ba can really endure it all the time.
After embroidering with Pei Ying in the carriage, Qin Tian took the token and asked Pei Yingxiu: "Now, you should tell Gu about this token, where did you come from?" β
Seeing a trace of sadness flashing in Pei Yingxiu's eyes, he immediately said: "There are many people here, let's go back to the East Palace first, and the concubines will come with you one by one!" β
"Good!"
Qin Tian didn't think much about it and ordered to return to the East Palace.
As soon as he left, Taifu and Prince Shaobao and other officials of the East Palace chased him out.
Looking at the prince's car in the distance, the old man said with a sad face: "Is Your Highness deliberately avoiding us?" β
The crown prince Shaobao glanced back at the prince and the ministers who came out of the rear, seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness may have his concerns, now that the Xiao family case has been approved by His Majesty to reopen the case, I can wait for the good life to check the clues for His Royal Highness, as long as the Xiao family is innocent, then the position of His Royal Highness the Prince will not be shaken, and the protΓ©gΓ© who originally belonged to the Xiao family will also stand behind the prince!" β
"When the time comes, no one will dare to think about the crown prince anymore, you and I will be right to live Xiao Shuai and Empress Renxian!"
Hearing this, Taifu nodded and said, "What you said is good, don't be idle, go back and act!" β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
On this day, the news of the reopening of the Xiao family case came out, and the whole country was shaken.
Previously, because of the Xiao family case, the prince was imprisoned, and the hearts of the generals stationed in various places fluctuated, and now the reopening of this case can't help but make people happy.
Originally, the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Xiao family sent people into the imperial capital one after another, wanting to provide clues to help the prince restore the innocence of the Xiao family, and of course there were also people who came to show their loyalty.
The emperor's willingness to reopen this case also shows that the weight of the prince is still heavy, as long as this case is over, the crown prince Qin Tian's position as the prince will be unshakable, if you don't show loyalty at this time, when will you wait?
Some people are happy and some are worried, at this moment in a large courtyard house in the imperial capital.
I saw that the lights were dim, and there were six figures sitting upright in the room, and the first one spoke: "Your Majesty's reopening of the Xiao family case is a bad omen, once the prince finds out the reason, with the prince's character, none of the participants will survive!" β
A person on the side said loudly: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, the original conviction of the Xiao family was to cater to his intentions, and at this time, His Majesty can't hide from a thorough investigation!" β
After the words fell for about a few seconds, one person spoke: "Xiao Jiagong is the master, as the emperor, he is just doing it easily, but after all, the prince is the prince of the country, and he is the eldest son, once the prince is moved, the country will be in turmoil, which is probably the reason why His Majesty tolerates the prince!" β
It was also at this time that a person in the far corner said: "What if the prince is dead?" β
The leader immediately said: "You are still embarrassed to say this, didn't you say that the prince is dead and there is no future trouble?" β
The person in the corner said loudly: "The prince is not familiar with water, my people can confirm that he fell into the water, it is estimated that the problem lies with the crown princess!" β
Hearing this, the person at the head frowned and said: "Speaking of the crown princess, if the old man remembers correctly, she also has a younger brother named Pei Ziqing, who is the deputy general of the Xiao family's little marquis, right?" β
"That's right, he disappeared with the little marquis, and our people are still tracking!"
The man in the corner replied, and the old eyes of the leader flickered for a few seconds and then said: "No matter what Your Majesty thinks, things have come to this point, we must take a two-pronged approach, the little marquis and a few lieutenants around him, they want to see people in life and corpses in death!" β
"In addition, spend a lot of money to kill the prince!"
The last six words fell, and everyone in the room looked at each other and nodded, and then each got up and left.
After a while, a figure walked out from behind the screen in the room, and the person at the head hurriedly got up and said, "Your Highness! β
Seeing the figure sitting in the first place, he said coldly: "The latest news in the palace, the father and the emperor have sent Wang He to find the tiger talisman, you send someone to follow secretly, be sure to let Wang He get the tiger talisman!" β
The old face of the person on the side froze, and he followed closely: "Your Majesty's intention? β
"It is estimated that my father is also afraid of my eldest brother's rebellion, the emperor's grandfather's token and the Xiao family tiger talisman can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses, this move is beneficial to us, as for the court dispute, let the fool of King Rui fight!"
"Oh, follow Your Highness's orders!"
