Chapter 1,276, The Cunning Prime Minister

After the beating, you couldn't bear it anymore and hanged yourself when no one was around?

Chu Liu Zhouzhi was stunned, opened his mouth, and said loudly and anxiously: "Father, this is not the case. I asked someone to beat this woman a few times, but I didn't beat her badly."

The emperor's eyes fell on him, and there was disappointment in his eyes. Not to mention that the son had made such a fuss, and in the end, it actually led to such a result. Although a concubine had no weight, she must be the daughter of an official. Before the matter was convicted, Before, she was beaten so badly that she no longer wanted to live, and she hanged herself to death. Even the royal family was unable to convince the public.

The daughter of a happy family married into the palace and was forced to hang herself within a few days. No matter what was said about her, she was still innocent until she was formally convicted.

This son is a bit stupid!

"Father, please don't disbelieve me. I am really unjust!" King Zhou shouted loudly.

"Come here, take King Zhou down, reflect and reflect carefully, and send Qi Tianyu back to the house. Concubine Qi will report her death and be buried with the rites of a concubine." The emperor turned his eyes slightly and said calmly, things have reached this point. There is nothing left to investigate. The most important key figure is dead, or he hanged himself.

"Father, I am really not a son. I am really not a son." King Zhou said loudly. He was about to defend himself, but two guards came over and pulled him down one by one.

The emperor's eyes fell on Chu Liuyue. Although he said nothing, his eyes were fierce.

Chu Liuyue lowered her head, feeling inexplicably panicked. Although Chu Liuzhou's matter had been successfully resolved, her father's situation was currently elusive.

The imperial study became quiet, and everyone even breathed much softer.

It took a while before the emperor asked: "What did Prince Qing say?"

Are you asking about Chu Qing? A big stone fell to Chu Liuyue's heart, and there were faint stains of sweat on his forehead. At this moment, he really thought that he had been seen through by his father.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Qing knelt down in confusion.

"Does Prince Qing really have the blood of the previous royal family?" the emperor asked calmly.

"Your Majesty...this...where do we start talking about this? Although the mother-in-law has the same surname as one of the eight aristocratic families of the previous dynasty, she is just a member of the same clan who came out of the fifth server early."

Chu Qing felt a chill in his vest.

Although he thought that the emperor might make trouble with him today, he didn't expect it to be so direct. When Chu Liuyue vaguely said that he was secretly stirring up trouble, he panicked and kept hiding behind, for fear that the emperor would see him.

There are more and more rumors outside. Chu Qing has been having a hard time these past few days. It seems as if a knife has been placed on his head. Now that the knife has fallen, he is feeling cold all over.

"How's the examination going?" The emperor said softly.

Prime Minister Wen took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have checked over the past few days and found out that the Princess Dowager of Qing County is indeed related to the previous dynasty family, but she is indeed an ordinary member of the clan who came out of the fifth service."

Chu Qing's face looked a little better, and a stone slowly fell in her heart. This life experience was true. Even if she checked again, nothing could be found. Her mother-in-law also reassured herself, saying that it would be impossible to find out.

"But I have found out some other things!" At this moment, Chu Qing's face turned livid, and his fingers convulsively pressed to the ground.

"Before Princess Qingjun entered the palace, she seemed to have had contact with people from the previous dynasty. The fugitive prince from the previous dynasty had appeared in that area and had contact with the family of Princess Qingjun. At that time, the late emperor received the news and personally I took people to investigate, but found nothing, so I met Princess Qingjun!"

Literary talent

Report.

Not many people know about this past event, and it took a long time to find out the details.

Chu Qing's vest was covered in cold sweat, and he knelt there motionless, suppressing the trembling in his heart. They would not find anything, it was absolutely impossible that they would find anything.

The mother-in-law told herself not to panic, not to panic!

The imperial study became quiet again. After a long time, Chu Qing heard the emperor's faint voice: "In that case, nothing was found?"

"Nothing was found. The prince from the previous dynasty was later found somewhere else and was executed by the late emperor." Wen Xiang nodded.

The emperor waved his hand and Prime Minister Wen stepped back.

"Prince Qing, please get up!" the emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty...Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Qing's voice was choked with emotion.

"Get up, since it has nothing to do with you, I will give you justice, so get up first!" The emperor said slowly.

Chu Qing stood up, staggered and almost fell down. At that moment, he really thought he was going to die, and all his plans had failed.

Fortunately... fortunately... I don't know yet.

"Chu Liuyue."

"My son is here!" Chu Liuyue said hurriedly.

"I see that you have been restless recently, so you should rest peacefully in the palace! The matter between you and King Zhou is causing my head to hurt." The emperor said lazily.

The emperor was not in good health since he fell ill. He was sitting a little crookedly, leaning on the wide chair rail, and his voice was also slower. Wen Xiang felt familiar inexplicably, so he raised his eyes and looked at it. Your Majesty, seeing the way he narrowed his eyes, he looked inexplicably familiar.

His heart moved slightly, and he raised his eyes and looked to the other side. On the other side was King Chen. King Chen was often in this state. Although his health was better now, he was watching everything with a lazy attitude, saying nothing. The slightly closed eyes of Yu Yu and the emperor's narrowed eyes actually overlapped to some extent.

Overlapping, familiar?

Wen Xiang's heart beat hard twice, his head suddenly lowered, his eyes full of horror.

In the past, he had thought about the various reasons why the emperor was so kind to King Chen, but they were just for fame and reputation. Raising a King Chen who was unlikely to succeed would be good for the emperor's reputation.

But now, King Chen is in good health and is a threat to the throne. The emperor actually let King Chen go so much. King Yue and King Zhou suppressed him together. Then the only one left is King Chen, and it cannot be King Cheng.

Others don't know, but Wen Xiang knows. Many of the emperor's poems were sent to Prince Chen's Mansion, and Prince Chen was helping the emperor to review them. The emperor was not feeling well, so it was possible to ask the prince to review them on his behalf, but why not ask King Yue and Zhou to review them? king? Is it more reasonable for these two to change their names?

The fingers clenched hard, and then slowly loosened. Wen Xiang's face slowly returned to calm. When he heard King Yue go down, the emperor calmly asked about King Chen's body.

When asked that King Chen was fine and in good health, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded.

The affairs of the next few ministers were all reported to King Chen. The emperor was just a spectator. Occasionally, he would make a comment when he heard something wrong. The rest was left to King Chen to make the decision.

This kind of treatment is only available to the kings. The eyes of Zhang Xiang and Wen Xiang met inadvertently, and they both saw the deepness in each other's eyes, and then they smiled at each other, and they parted ways.

The incident in Prince Zhou's Mansion was a big fuss for the entire Prince Zhou's Mansion, but for the entire capital, it was almost nothing.

The matter was suppressed to the smallest extent. First of all, Qi Tianyu forgave King Zhou and did not make the matter a big deal. Qi Rongzhi was buried quietly. Although she was a concubine, few people knew about the death of King Zhou. Got a concubine.

And his death was unclear.

As a result, Qi Tianyu was promoted to a higher level and transferred to the Criminal Department, becoming Wen Xichi's subordinate.

The two of them entered the court together as officials, but Wen Xichi soared into the sky, and Qi Tianyu did not have as good a chance as him. Even though he has been promoted, he is still far behind Wen Xichi.

Shao Wanru has been living peacefully these past few days.

Both King Yue and King Zhou went back to their mansions to "reflect", as did their family members. When they entered the palace, they didn't see those noisy ones again. The days suddenly became peaceful, but on such days, Shao Wan Rong didn't expect Qi Tianyu to come to him, so he posted a message and officially came to visit.

Originally this was unreasonable, but Chu Liuchen let Shao Wanru make his own decision.

Shao Wanru thought for a while and went to the front hall to meet Qi Tianyu.

Qi Tianyu had been waiting in the front hall for a long time. When he saw Shao Wanru come in, his eyes fell on her face. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and now it felt like they were separated from each other again.

The once lively girl became the steady Princess Chen, and he was useless. He subconsciously took a step back and saluted Shao Wanru.

"I've met Princess Chen!"

"Master Qi, you're welcome!" Shao Wanru said calmly, sitting down in the middle, "Please sit down!"

Qi Tianyu sat silently on the chair, raised his eyes to look at Shao Wanru, smiled bitterly, and said bluntly: "Does Princess Chen still hate me?"

These words were extremely rude. Yu Jie showed annoyance on her face and was about to scold her, but Shao Wanru reached out to stop her.

"What Mr. Qi said is wrong. After so many years, even if Mr. Qi was sorry for me at the beginning, now... there is nothing left to say at this time!"

Shao Wanru said peacefully.

"It was my fault at the beginning. I dealt with you because of Qin Yuru... and wanted to destroy you." Qi Tianyu smiled, and his smile became more and more bitter. The little girl who was following him was so affectionate to him. And, why did he want to destroy her so viciously?

In fact, he doesn't really care about the conflict between Qin Yuru and his marriage, does he?

"Master Qi, what happened back then has been too long and I can no longer remember it. If Master Qi came here today just because of this incident, then I will tell Master Qi that the past is gone!" Shao Wanru said, reaching for it. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then put it down. It was obvious that he meant to see off the guests.

"Yes, it's all over, everything is over, Rongzhi is also dead, I killed her!" Qi Tianyu lowered his head, mocking himself in his eyes, making mistakes again and again, but in fact, there is really nothing to say. , reached into his arms and took out a letter from his arms, "Princess Chen, this is what I owe you, just think that I am here to repay the debt today!"

"What is this?" Shao Wanru's eyes fell on the bulging envelope, his eyes were dark and there was no trace of happiness or anger.

The Princess Chen in front of her is really no longer the innocent little girl she was before! Qi Tianyu was stabbed hard somewhere in his heart. Maybe when he framed that girl, that innocent girl no longer existed!

He lowered his head and covered up the pain in his eyes: "I'm going back to Jiangzhou. These things are of no use to me. If you need them, use them. If you don't, just throw them away!"
