Chapter 1302 The Widow Queen

It happened to be a big court day, and people like Jinchen Beile and Rong Boye who didn't have to attend court on weekdays also had to stand in the court regularly.

Although he was still worried about the missing shadow guards, Jinchen Beile didn't dare to delay it for a moment.

However, along the way, Jinchen Beile always had a faint worry in his heart. Those people... Could they be discovered by the emperor's men...

In fact, if Jinchen Beile was asked to choose, he would probably not want to attend court today even if he claimed to be sick, because today's court was too unknown.

However, if he really claimed to be sick and didn't go, then if this matter was not the emperor's hand, he would probably be suspected by the emperor, which would be more of a loss than a gain.

With his eyes closed, Jinchen Beile tried to calm down in the shaking sedan chair. When the sedan chair landed outside the wall of the palace, Jinchen Beile had already regained his usual calm and warm self.

There is no secret in the capital. In just one night, almost all the ministers who attended the court early knew what happened in Rong Bo's Mansion last night.

Before Xiao Qichen arrived, many ministers who had a good relationship with him gathered together to talk about this matter, and their eyes occasionally glanced at Jinchen Beile.

It's not that they don't want to see Master Rong, but so far, they haven't seen Master Rong's figure. Only Jinchen Beile is the only one in the court who has a marriage relationship with Rong Bo's Mansion, so they can only look at Jinchen Beile.

Jinchen Beile felt uncomfortable being stared at, but he could only clench his fists under his sleeves and pretend not to know, waiting for the serious person involved - Master Rong to come, so that he would not be swept by such eyes again.

Unfortunately, Master Rong did not appear until Xiao Qichen went to court.

It's not that Master Rong didn't want to come, but the people from the second and third houses were blocking the door like crazy. Unless the first house of the Rong family "confessed" and gave them an explanation, they would not let anyone in the Rong Bo Mansion go out.

At the court where Master Rong didn't come, someone also brought up the fire in Rong Bo's Mansion last night, and of course, the burning of Mrs. Rong.

The topic naturally led to Master Rong who was not attending the court today. Even though Master Rong himself had no official position, his absence in this grand court meeting would still leave people with a reputation of disrespecting the emperor.

The emperor on the high position looked gloomy, looking at the position where Master Rong should have stood, and said softly: "Go and find out for me why Master Rong is not in the court today."

Many people bowed their heads at this moment, and the minister who spoke first was happy to think in his heart that when Master Rong was convicted, how to get the title of Master Rong to his brother-in-law, Master Rong Er?

While the emperor was sending people to find Mr. Rong, several thoughtful officials began to say a series of things like "The daughter of the Rong family is born with bad luck. To protect the country's well-being, she should be ordered to shave her head and become a nun and practice in the imperial temple."

The ministers were not fools. They knew very well that the previous emperor intended to make the daughter of the Rong family the queen. Which minister with a daughter at home did not look forward to that honorable position? This time with such a handle in hand, they naturally had to work hard to grab this position.

Even if it remains vacant for the time being, it is better than letting a woman who has nothing but fate take it!

However, they thought so in their hearts, but they couldn't say it.

Moreover, because Xiao Qichen had only hinted before and never explained it, they couldn't even say that the "daughter of the Rong family" was not fit to be the queen. They could only shout like this, saying that they wanted to send Qin Wansha to a nunnery to shave her head and become a nun, so as to ensure that the queen's position was vacant.

Xiao Qichen sat on the dragon chair, silently watching the ministers' lively words below, with a smile in his eyes that no one could see through.

The position of the queen?

It had been decided long before his baby came to him.

Xiao Qichen's silence gave other ministers a more wrong hint. When the guards who went to find Master Rong came back, the ministers in the court were noisy and noisy. They were afraid that Xiao Qichen would "go his own way", just like the "ministers of life" entrusted by the late emperor before his death. They really wanted to say directly that "the daughter of the Rong family cannot be the queen".

"Report - Master Rong is here to see you!"

With just this sound, the originally noisy court immediately quieted down.

Master Rong, dressed in a master's robe, sweating all over, followed the guards and walked in with a pale face.

This was not the first time Master Rong entered the palace to attend court, but it was definitely the first time he was led to stand so close to the emperor.

In the past, Master Rong's position was actually outside the palace. Not to mention peeping at the emperor's face, even if he wanted to listen to the emperor's words, he couldn't hear them.

However, he didn't expect that today he had this opportunity because of the unreasonable troubles of the second and third houses.

"I pay my respects to my emperor, long live the emperor!" Master Rong knelt down and saluted Xiao Qichen sitting on the dragon throne, but he didn't dare to look up at all to see if the person on the dragon throne was the one he saw at home last night.

When he was stopped at home and not allowed to go out early in the morning, Master Rong was looking forward to the person, but also worried that the person was not, and he was very entangled.

But when Master Rong really knelt in the court, his heart was calm instead - mainly because he was scared.

"Lord Rong." Xiao Qichen said in a deep voice: "Do you remember today's grand court meeting?"

Hearing the familiar voice above, Master Rong's heart was shocked, but at this moment, he also knew that he must not show it.

But... it's okay to be a little relieved, right?

"In reply to the emperor, I remember today's grand court meeting, but... because of an unexpected accident at home last night, my brothers all came back to mourn, and then there were some conflicts and misunderstandings, I..." Master Rong was not used to how to talk to the emperor, so he was quite nagging when he opened his mouth.

Xiao Qichen didn't intend to continue listening, and directly turned to ask the guard: "Guard Fu, you come to tell Master Rong why he didn't come to court."

"Yes!" Guard Fu was one of the guards taken by Xiao Qichen last night, but because he had been hiding in the dark, Master Rong had never seen him.

"When I arrived at the Rong Bo Mansion, I saw Lord Rong anxiously wandering in front of the door, but the other two families in the Rong Bo Mansion were blocking the door. When I arrived, I happened to hear their words, demanding Lord Rong's family to pay for Old Madam Rong's life, otherwise no one in the Rong Bo Mansion would be allowed to leave the door."
