Chapter 109 Now they regret it!
Qi You glanced at Xiao Quan calmly, but he didn't really think that it was such a coincidence.
Why is this person so gossipy? Yes, gossip. This is what I heard from my mother. It is the most appropriate way to describe Xiao Quan now.
Xiao Quan sat there calmly, he really did it on purpose.
The actions of the commander of the Imperial Guard had been under his watch. He had a rough estimate of when to catch the person and when to enter the palace. So today, as soon as the court was over, he went to the palace to meet the emperor, on the grounds that he wanted to discuss important matters with the emperor.
It was indeed an important matter and the discussion took only a short time, but it just happened to be at the time when Hua Changfeng entered the palace.
Emperor Jingyuan had no suspicion at all. After his subordinates informed him that the commander of the imperial guards had brought people into the palace, he thought that Xiao Quan was a witness at the scene and had saved Qi You, so he casually said, "Do you want to go over and take a look?" Xiao Quan agreed without even hesitating.
Emperor Jingyuan was stunned for a moment. This man was really rude. However, for Emperor Jingyuan, it didn't matter whether Xiao Quan knew about it or not. After all, this man was very tight-lipped.
Xiao Quan also wanted to know how the emperor would deal with this matter and how that boy would react. He was bored anyway, so he might as well watch the fun.
On the way to the Qinzheng Palace, Concubine Xian already knew that Chen was the mastermind behind the assassination of Qi You.
When she learned the truth, Concubine Xian almost burst into a curse, but she endured it again and again and finally forced herself to suppress the boundless anger in her heart.
Great! Since when did such an ambitious concubine appear in the Rui Wang Mansion? She even dared to reach out to the palace. Not only that, she did it not once, but twice!
The virtuous concubine was so angry that she laughed. It was really good!
She knew Chen. After all, she had proposed a method called cardiopulmonary resuscitation last time. She heard that the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau had verified that it could indeed save many people. It was a great contribution, so she was praised and rewarded by the emperor. She also asked people to send some gifts to him to show her love, so she had some impression of him. But she never expected that not long after, she would be slapped in the face!
Not only that, Concubine Xian knew a lot about the affairs of Prince Rui's Mansion. She also saw clearly the position of Chen in her son's heart. So, that little bastard, is he blind or what, to actually fall in love with such a woman? When someone comes back, she will make him open his eyes!
The virtuous concubine was really furious, mainly because this matter brought shame upon the palace.
Thinking of Qi Zhao's likable appearance, Concubine Xian became even angrier.
To be honest, if it weren't for Qi You, Concubine Xian felt that she would definitely like Qi Zhao the most. Until now, she still likes him, but not as much as Qi You.
But this is already very good. After all, in terms of personality alone, Concubine Xian likes her grandson Qi Zhao more than other grandsons. Of course, Crown Prince Qi Shao has never been among them, because both Prince Rui and Concubine Xian are strict and value Qi Shao, and they value him as the next generation of heir, which is something that Qi Zhao and even Qi You cannot have.
So Concubine Xian sighed even more regretfully. How could Qi Zhao, such a good child, have such a stupid mother? It really made her angry!
Therefore, no matter what happens today, Concubine Xian cannot let this matter go easily.
She couldn't let the people in Prince Rui's Mansion think that this was a trivial matter. If this matter was handled lightly, it would continue to occur in the future. If a hole was torn open and it was not sewn up, the hole would only get bigger and bigger until it could not be covered at all.
Therefore, Chen, today will also be an example for her to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
As for Qi Zhao, although his biological mother is gone, he still has his grandmother. As long as he has his grandmother, he will live well.
The virtuous concubine knew in her heart that she was not the only one who thought so, the emperor must have thought so too. This incident had a really bad impact, and if it was not dealt with severely, it would definitely not be good for the entire royal family.
Although the emperor had spoken last night, forbidding anyone to reveal what happened last night, everyone knew in their hearts that this was impossible. Those who should know already knew it, and only by severely punishing this matter could we suppress the evil intentions of some people.
After all, who doesn't have one or two spies in the palace? This assassination was not carried out in secret, and the palace is not big or small, so it is normal for people to know about any movement.
Therefore, when the Royal Guards left the palace last night, the Crown Prince, several princes, and even the princes and ministers all knew what had happened in the palace. Even those who didn't know, found out in the subsequent investigation. So this time, the affairs of Prince Rui's Mansion were not hidden from everyone. The palace maids and eunuchs were all keeping an eye on the situation and had been trying to find out the news intentionally or unintentionally. The Qinzheng Hall was now also the focus of everyone's spies.
"The Queen is here!"
Just as Qi You and others were waiting for the commander of the Royal Guard to arrive, suddenly, the Queen came.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Queen had a dignified and gentle smile on her face.
Emperor Jingyuan knew why this person came, but he didn't say anything. He just let her come. After all, she was there last night. "Well, sit down."
Qi You stood up with everyone else and saluted the Queen.
The moment the Queen Mother sat down, she glanced in the direction of Concubine Xian, and a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
The interpretation is: So what if you are favored, Concubine Xian? You can't even handle the affairs in your own son's house, and a concubine has brought things to the palace. It's really a joke!
When Concubine Xian saw it, she pretended not to see it. She didn't even give the Queen a look, but her eyes were extremely cold. However, only she knew that the anger in her heart, which had just subsided a little, rose a little more, but she still couldn't see it on her face.
Nanny Jiang could clearly see the storm hidden deep in her master's eyes.
Alas! Chen is really hopeless this time!
Qi You watched the expressions of the Queen and his grandmother from below, but there was no fluctuation on his face and his eyes were clear.
At this time, all the previous witnesses, that is, the palace maids, eunuchs and those people Chen had contacted outside the palace, were all captured here. There were about twenty people, including those who were assassinated last time.
Several of them were merchants, people that the palace maids and maids who were doing shopping often came into contact with. Looking at their clothes, one could tell that their families must be extremely wealthy. After all, merchants who could do business with the palace could not be from small families. At this moment, those people felt the gaze of Emperor Jingyuan at the top, their calves were trembling, their eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, and their kneeling bodies drooped even more.
Now they regret it!
